Chapter 356 Purple air rises, the atmosphere of a saint
“Please calm down your anger. At this time, the country is unstable and it is really not appropriate to go to war with Zhou.”
“In addition, your king must not forget Xi. The emperor died. If we start a war with Zhou State at this time, there will be no spare energy to find the place where Emperor Xi fell."
After Di Xin gradually calmed down, Ao Bing persuaded.
Da Shang did not have an overwhelming advantage over Zhou State. If they went to war with it, no matter whether they won or lost, their vitality would be severely damaged.
Not to mention, the rebellion in Beihai has not yet been settled, and most of the elite merchants are concentrated there, so they cannot allocate much force to attack the Zhou Kingdom.
In a single-line battle, the outcome is difficult to predict, let alone in a two-line battle, the probability of Dashang's defeat is extremely high.
Even if we have no choice but to go to war with Zhou, we have to wait until Wen Taishi quells the Beihai rebellion and returns to the court.
“We can’t fight, so what should the Prime Minister say about this matter? We can’t just let it go, right?”
Although he understood what Ao Bing said, Di Xin was still angry. said.
"Of course we can't just let it go. Your Majesty can follow the late emperor's old wisdom and invite the Marquis of Xibo to come to the court to sing songs in the name of a reward." Make the decision.”
Ao Bing said very directly, if the problem cannot be solved, then solve the problem.
Xi Bohou is the lord of the Zhou Kingdom. As long as he is captured, the Zhou Kingdom will surely fall into chaos. In this way, at least in a short period of time, Zhou State would not be able to pose a threat to Dashang.
This method may sound crude, but it is indeed practical. Moreover, this method was not the first of its kind by Ao Bing.
If I remember correctly, Di Xin's grandfather Di Wen Ding used this method to kill Xi Bohou's father Ji Li.
At that time, the Zhou Dynasty was so powerful that Wen Ding was quite afraid. So, in the name of a reward, he imprisoned Ji Li and made him starve to death.
After Ji Li died, the Zhou Kingdom inevitably fell into turmoil and was unable to pose a threat to Dashang for a long time. It is only now that he has regained his strength.
"Imprisoning Xibohou?"
"This strategy is not bad, but his father fell into the trap before, how can Xibohou fall into the trap again?"
After hesitating for a while, Di Xin said hesitantly. He felt that Xibohou could not be so stupid. With his father's lessons in front of him, he could not have a long memory and fall twice on the same strategy.
“Whether he comes or not is up to him.”
“The king only needs to issue an edict to say that the name of Xibo Hou Xian is renowned all over the world, so he wants to make him the third prince to assist the emperor in governing the world.”< br>
“This is the position of the Three Lords , being an extremely human minister is the greatest honor for a minister. After Xibohou is canonized, as long as he is not ready to rebel, he has no choice but to come."
Ao Bing's tone remained unchanged and he continued to make suggestions for Emperor Xin. He knew it well. The history of later generations can be said to have the answer at hand. If I copy the answer, can I still make mistakes?
"Then try."
Di Xin had no choice but to listen to Ao Bing and try again.
Having the intention to rebel and deciding to rebel are two different things. Xibohou must be rebellious, but if you want him to rebel now, you can't.
In everything, it is important to have a reputation, especially for things like rebellion. Without a reason that everyone in the world can accept, no one will follow you in rebellion.
If Di Xin is a coward or a tyrant, then the reasons for rebellion are easy to find and can be found everywhere.
But the problem is that although Di Xin is already showing some signs of trance now, because of the great achievements he has made in the past, in the eyes of the world, he is still the master of ZTE and a rare virtuous king.
Reviving Tongtianze, abolishing human sacrifice, and eradicating the evil gods from all directions are all real achievements. Their merits will last forever and their benefits will last forever.
In this case, if you ask Xibohou to say that Emperor Xin is a foolish king, he really can't say it.
How could he dare to rebel if he couldn't even find a reason to rebel? How could he rebel? Therefore, facing Emperor Xin's order to summon him to Chaoge, he had no other choice but to obey the order.
If you don’t go, do you want to tell the princes in the world that he, the Marquis of Xibo, has rebellious intentions?
As for claiming to be sick but not going away, that's even worse. Emperor Xin had previously asked him to sever contact with Chanjiao, but he disobeyed the order. Instead of blaming him, Emperor Xin made him the Third Duke.
Such courtesy is unprecedented. Not to mention being sick, even if you die, you still have to carry the coffin. Therefore, even if you claim you are sick, you will be scolded for not being able to commend yourself, and you will be despised by everyone in the world.
In this era where reputation is above all else, if the reputation is ruined, it will be all over. Even if Xibohou raises an army to rebel, the result will only be making wedding clothes for others.
......
The result was just as Ao Bing thought. After receiving Emperor Xin's order, Xibohou ignored the obstruction of his officials, said goodbye to his wife, and set off with some entourage. On the way to Chaoge.
And not long after Xibohou left, news about him reached Ao Bing's ears.
Knowing that Xibohou would rebel, how could Ao Bing not prepare early? Therefore, as early as a few years ago, he made a layout in Zhou State and placed spies everywhere in order to learn about Zhou State's movements in the shortest possible time.
"If I remember correctly, on the way to Chaoge this time, Xibohou will meet his destined hundredth son, Lei Zhenzi."
In the palace, Ao Bing Thoughtful.
This Lei Zhenzi is not simple. There are countless immortals who participated in the Conferred God Tribulation, but in the end, only seven of them survived.
They are Li Jing, Jin Zha, Muzha, Nezha, Yang Jian, Lei Zhenzi and Wei Hu.
Li Jing and his son do not need to say much, and Yang Jian does not need to say much. Only Lei Zhenzi and Wei Hu are quite mysterious.
Especially Lei Zhenzi, Wei Hu still has legends spread in later generations, holding the demon pestle and protecting Buddhism.
But as for Lei Zhenzi, after the self-proclaimed god Calamity Tribulation was over, he completely disappeared, as if he had disappeared, and there was no trace of him again.
This is wrong, Lei Zhenzi is not a nobody, he is as famous as Yang Jian Nezha.
Look at Yang Jian Nezha's treatment, look at his treatment, the whole world has disappeared, as if this person does not exist, no matter how you look at it, it is wrong.
Before coming to the world of Fengshen, Ao Bing was not interested in these things, but now that he has come to the world of Fengshen, he inevitably becomes a little more curious when thinking about these things that are wrong.
Opportunities are often hidden in these tiny details. As long as you look more and think more, you may be able to discover the opportunities hidden in it.
The more he looked at Lei Zhenzi, the more Ao Bing felt that he was very mysterious and involved many opportunities.
First of all, there is his origin. Lei Zhenzi was not born to his parents, but was created by Tian Lei.
In the prehistoric times, thunder was transformed by the power of Heaven, a manifestation of the majesty of God, and the supreme means for Heaven to control the three realms. As the saying goes, without thunder, there is no way to rule the three realms.
Therefore, thunder has an extraordinary significance in ancient times. Anyone or anything related to thunder is not simply superior to others.
Lei Zhenzi was created by Tianlei, so he was destined to be extraordinary. He could be called a born god, second only to the innate gods and demons. Also, what kind of character is Xibohou? He acted in the Book of Changes and created the acquired gossip. He is a well-deserved saint of the human race. If Lei Zhenzi was not noble enough, how could he be qualified to be adopted as his adopted son?
Being of extraordinary origin, he is one.
Opportunity is against heaven, it is two.
You know, Lei Zhenzi is the one with the shortest cultivation time among the seven great physical gods. He didn't even practice much. He just ate two red apricots and jumped from a mortal to a Taiyi Golden Immortal.
As for the two red apricots he ate, according to Ao Bing's speculation, they should be the innate wind and thunder apricot tree, one of the top ten innate spiritual roots.
Any innate spiritual root and its fruits have the ability to transform decay into miraculous things. The higher the level of this spiritual root, the more extraordinary its fruit ability is.
The complete fruit of an innate spiritual root like the top ten innate spiritual roots can be called a Tao fruit. If you eat one, you can directly enter the realm of Taiyi Golden Immortal, or even the realm of Daluo Golden Immortal.
For example, if you eat one of Huang Zhongli, one of the top ten spiritual roots, you can reach the sky in one step and achieve the realm of Daluo without any side effects.
The fruits of intact peach trees and ginseng trees also have this ability.
Many monks are unable to achieve even the golden immortality even if they die, but one fruit of the ten innate spiritual roots can allow a person to enter the realm of Daluo.
What a fate and what an injustice. It is not an exaggeration to call it a Taoist fruit.
But as the saying goes, anything that goes against heaven is not tolerated by heaven and earth. Therefore, the ten innate spirits have eradicated the few that transformed, and the rest will end badly.
The whereabouts of Huang Zhongli are unknown, the Five Elements Tree was divided into five parts, the Fusang Sacred Tree and the Laurel Sacred Tree were trapped on the two stars of the sun and moon and could not move, the peach tree was split, the building trees were cut down, and the innate gourd vine was completely dead.
The ginseng fruit tree was also severely weakened, and its fruits were reduced to ordinary fairy fruits, not even as good as flat peaches.
Although Xiantian Feng Lei Xingshu did not show up, I think the end will not be very good. But no matter how bad it ends, it is still one of the top ten innate spiritual roots, and its value is comparable to the innate treasure.
Not to mention, it is also related to the Thunder, and its value is undoubtedly higher.
There is no doubt that Ao Bing wants to get the Innate Wind and Thunder Apricot Tree. However, there are many things that he can't get just by thinking about it.
Just like this innate wind and thunder apricot tree, it has never been seen in the wild since its birth. Where can Ao Bing find it?
Some people say that the innate wind and thunder apricot tree is not at Yun Zhongzi's place? If not, Lei Zhenzi would not have acquired the world-famous wind and thunder wings by swallowing the red apricots.
At first, Ao Bing thought so too. But later he discovered that he had thought wrongly, and the innate wind and thunder apricot tree was not at Yun Zhongzi's place.
Because Ao Bing once secretly visited Yun Zhongzi’s dojo, and there was indeed no trace of the Innate Wind and Thunder Apricot Tree. In addition, there is another thing that can prove that Yun Zhongzi did not get the innate wind and thunder apricot tree.
After all, it is one of the top ten innate spiritual roots, and its value is comparable to the innate treasure. Even if it is injured in an accident, it still has incredible power.
Therefore, if this tree fell into the hands of Yun Zhongzi, his current cultivation level would never be so weak.
As far as Yun Zhongzi's performance is concerned, it really doesn't look like an apricot tree with innate wind and thunder. But later generations clearly recorded that the Innate Wind and Thunder Apricot Tree most likely fell into his hands.
If the record is correct, then there is only one possibility that caused this conflict, that is, the Innate Wind and Thunder Apricot Tree, which fell into the hands of Yun Zhongzi recently. If so, it all makes sense.
Looking at what Yun Zhongzi has done recently, the only thing that can connect him with the Innate Wind and Thunder Apricot Tree is to accept Lei Zhenzi as his disciple.
From this, it is not difficult to guess that the Innate Wind and Thunder Apricot Tree probably came after Lei Zhenzi, and then was obtained by Yun Zhongzi.
Innate spiritual roots are living creatures, so it is not surprising that they can move around. The peach tree cannot move because it has no intelligence.
The laurel and hibiscus trees cannot be moved because they are too strong, and their strength is infinitely close to that of Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian. If they are willing to give up their powerful power, they can still appear and travel around the world.
Think about it, the Innate Wind and Thunder Apricot Tree gave up its powerful power, and then gained the ability to travel around the world.
As for why it chased Lei Zhenzi, it was most likely because Lei Zhenzi’s heels were related to it.
Ao Bing doesn’t know what the specific relationship is. He can only know it after reading it.
Yes, seen it!
It is related to the ten innate spiritual roots. Even if it is just an illogical guess, as long as there is a glimmer of possibility, Ao Bing will go and take a look in person.
What if?
Anyway, if you run over and take a look, nothing will happen. If it were true, then he would have made a lot of money.
While thinking this, Ao Bing had already set off. He didn't know where Lei Zhenzi would be born, but he knew that as long as he followed Xibohou, he would meet Lei Zhenzi sooner or later.
...
And at the same time as Ao Bing set off, Yun Zhongzi, who was far away in Zhongnan Mountain, suddenly had a sudden impulse and followed the guidance from the shadows and rushed to Xibohou's location.
Ao Bing only found out about this through foresight. But Yun Neutron is different, it depends purely on chance. He was transformed from the innate cloud energy and was a born immortal with good fortune. He was also related to wind and thunder.
Therefore, he is destined to Lei Zhenzi, and even more to the innate wind and thunder apricot tree.
Many opportunities may seem like luck, but in fact they are already destined as early as birth. If the cloud neutron is not transformed by the innate cloud energy, how can it be related to the innate wind and thunder apricot tree transformed by the wind and thunder?
Not to mention what happened to Ao Bing and Yun Zhongzi, let's just say that Xibohou and his party were walking halfway. Suddenly, Xibohou stopped, looked up at the sky, and said to everyone:
"Quickly find a place to take shelter from the rain. "It's going to rain heavily soon."
Hearing this, everyone looked at the sun above their heads with strange expressions on their faces.
"Your Majesty, how can you say that it rains when the sun is shining brightly?"
Someone couldn't hold it back and asked in confusion.
"It's too late to explain, let's find a place to take shelter from the rain first."
Xibohou didn't care whether they believed it or not, he led the way and found a cave to take shelter from the rain.
As soon as they entered the cave, they heard a huge thunderbolt sound suddenly coming from the sky. Immediately, we saw heavy rain pouring down, which was daunting.
Boom!
Along with the heavy rain, there was endless thunder, like the gods beating drums, which was breathtaking.
"The shock came, and the laughter was mute; the shock was hundreds of miles away, but the dagger was not lost."
When Xibohou heard the thunder, he didn't know what he thought of, and suddenly laughed out loud and said a hexagram. Suddenly he heard the sound of thunder, which is a lucky hexagram. When he goes to Chaoge, he will definitely be in danger but not in danger.
"Huh?"
"The purple air is rising, the atmosphere of a saint."
At the same time, Ao Bing, who was searching for Xibohou's traces, seemed to sense something. Suddenly he raised his head and stared at Xibohou's shelter from the rain with a face full of astonishment.
From there, wisps of purple energy were rising, intertwined with the thunder in the sky.
