Chapter 411 Jiang Ziya
Although Jiang Ziya's ability is not particularly outstanding in the records of the Romance of the Gods, his status in history was particularly outstanding. He was praised by later generations as the ancestor of military strategists and a saint in martial arts.
The three saints of the Zhou Dynasty, King Wen Ji Chang, King Wen of Zhou Gong, and King Yuan of Martial Arts Jiang Ziya, their abilities are all proven by history and are enough to promote the development of the times.
In addition, Jiang Ziya is one of the protagonists of the Great Tribulation of Gods and is the one who responds to the tribulation.
Since such a character has come to Chaoge, Ao Bing cannot let go of it anyway. Even if he cannot let him use it for his own use, he still has to use his hands to accomplish something.
For example, attack the North Sea Monster Clan!
Large-scale combat is particularly important for the ability of the commander. The stronger his ability, the stronger the strength the soldiers will exert, and vice versa.
Jiang Ziya was respected by later generations as the founder of military strategists and a saint in martial arts. She has no need to say much about her ability to command the commander, and she must be the best in the contemporary world.
If he led his troops to attack the Beihai, he would surely defeat the North Sea demon clan and destroy his luck.
...
Jiang Ziya is not a student of the academy, but a lecturer of the academy. Although his cultivation level is not high, his status is not low.
After the Jiang clan, the nobles of the Lü Kingdom were descendants of Boyi, and Boyi was descendants of Emperor Yan and the successor designated by Emperor Yu.
At the end of Emperor Yu's reign, he abdicated in Boyi according to ancient traditions.
But what was unexpected was that shortly after Emperor Yu's death, Xia Qi suddenly launched a rebellion and led his army to kill Boyi and proclaim himself king.
Although Boyi's reign was short, he was the heir appointed by Emperor Yu. In terms of legal principles, he was the common ruler of the world, and Xia Qi was just a person who was just a rebellious person.
Therefore, after Boyi was killed, his descendants were protected by many ancient clans and passed down to this day. They are one of the eight hundred princes of the Great Shang Dynasty.
As a descendant of Emperor Yan, Jiang Ziya was very capable, so he was naturally qualified to serve as a lecturer in the academy and teach the descendants of the princes.
After all, the princes of Jiang's surname were in the Da Shang Dynasty, and no one dared to offend him openly.
...
"You are Jiang Ziya?"
In the academy, looking at the white-haired old man in front of him, Ao Bing asked in confusion.
He guessed that Jiang Ziya's cultivation was not high, but he didn't expect that he would be so low. He had just entered the threshold of refining gods, and was extremely far away from becoming an immortal, let alone the realm of the Golden Immortal who lived with the heaven and earth.
There are four stages of practice, which are divided into refining essence into qi, refining qi into spirit, refining spirit into emptiness, and returning to emptiness into Taoism. Among them, the three stages of refining essence, refining qi, and refining spirit represent the state of practice before the immortal path.
It was not until after returning to the void that he had achieved the immortal path, representing the three realms of celestial immortal, mysterious immortal and golden immortal. And Hedao refers to the three realms of Taiyi, Daluo and Hunyuan.
Quasi-saint is an extension of Daluo. Strictly speaking, these two realms are actually the same realm. Therefore, although the quasi-saints were listed separately, they actually did not have this realm.
Just like the Chaos Demon God, after Daluo, it was Hunyuan, and there was no quasi-saint at all.
Ao Bing is now a magical power, and his myth is Taiyi. He is in the second and first stages of Hedao, and is barely considered a master.
When he thought about it, Jiang Ziya had at least joined the sect of Yuanshi Tianzun and received the guidance of the saint. Therefore, no matter how poor his talent is, he can still reach the threshold of the immortal path and become an immortal.
But like now, I have just entered the realm of refining the gods, which is too outrageous.
To put it bluntly, it is a pig who has received guidance from the saints and placed in Kunlun Mountain for hundreds or thousands of years to become an immortal.
Jiang Ziya's current situation makes Ao Bing really not know how to evaluate it.
He could only say that Jiang Ziya must have a problem with her health. She was born to be rejected by the immortal path. Otherwise, if she had practiced on Kunlun Mountain for so long, she would never have had only this level of cultivation.
Yuanshi Tianzun’s evaluation of Jiang Ziya was that he had no hope of immortality in this life. Ao Bing originally thought that he did not have the opportunity to cultivate to the realm of the Golden Immortal.
After all, in the eyes of the strong, only the Golden Immortal who lives with the heaven and earth is considered an immortal, a celestial immortal, a celestial immortal, but a pseudo-immortal, and is not at all.
But he never expected that this immortal in the hopeless immortal path in this life actually refers to the celestial immortal, which was really outrageous.
"Reporting to the Prime Minister, it is indeed Jiang Shang and Jiang Ziya. I wonder what the Prime Minister is asking me for?"
He looked at Ao Bing in confusion and asked in confusion. Ao Bing is very famous now, and it is hard for him to even think about it or not.
However, he didn't understand why a big man like Ao Bing wanted to come to see him by name, which was really puzzling.
"As soon as you disciples of the Chan Sect, you don't go to Xiqi, but instead come to Chaoge. I'm going to find you, isn't it normal?" Ao Bing smiled and asked with a heart-wrenching heart.
It is well known that the Ancestral Sect is incompatible with the Great Shang Dynasty. In this case, Jiang Ziya, a disciple of the Ancestral Sect, dared to come to Chaoge to become an official. His thoughts are inevitably arousing many thoughts. Is there anything conspiracy.
"To be honest, although I am a registered disciple of the Ancestral Sect, I was driven down from the mountain by the teacher, saying that I have no hope of immortality in this life, and I will not go down the mountain to go to the world to seek wealth and honor for the rest of my life."
"After going down the mountain, I saw that the Da Shang Dynasty's national strength was booming under the governance of the prime minister and was full of rejuvenation. I immediately realized that my wealth should be in Da Shang Dynasty."
"At this time, the Dashang Academy was established. I wanted to recruit talents from all over the world, so I rushed to Chaoge to seek wealth."
Jiang Ziya's expression remained unchanged, and he explained in an orderly manner about Ao Bing's doubts.
His meaning is very simple. He knew very well that Yuanshi Tianzun wanted to promote Xiqi to replace Dashang. But as he saw that the great Shang Dynasty was thriving, and it was a sign of creating a prosperous era.
In this case, according to his analysis, there is no possibility of Zhou replacing the Da Shang Dynasty. But this conflicts with what his teacher Yuanshi Tianzun said. Since the saint said that Zhou State could replace the Shang Dynasty, it would definitely be possible, and even if it could not be possible.
Between his own judgment and the teacher's prophecy, Jiang Ziya must have believed in the teacher's prophecy more. He speculated that something might happen in the future, leading to the decline of the power of the Shang Dynasty, which in turn gave Zhou the possibility of overthrowing it.
According to this inference, Jiang Ziya should live in seclusion in the mountains and fields, devote himself to studying the way of governing the country, and wait for the time. But why, although he has this heart, his life span is not allowed.
He is only in the realm of refining the spirit, and cannot achieve immortality, and his life span is only ten thousand years long. And when he went down the mountain, he was already thousands of years old.
In other words, his life span is at most nine thousand years. It sounds very long, but compared with the country's millions of years of Shang Dynasty, it is nothing. Although he predicted that the Da Shang Dynasty might change in the future, and it would turn from prosperity to decline. But he couldn't guess when this change would happen.
Is it a thousand years later, ten thousand years later, or a hundred thousand years later?
If it is a thousand years later, it would be fine. He still has enough lifespan to fight for wealth for a lifetime, but if it is ten thousand years later, he will probably become a dead bone. No matter how big the situation changes, it has nothing to do with him.
Time is not waiting for me. It is precisely with this idea that Jiang Ziya chose to join Dashang. This move is to wait for the opportunity and wait for the time. The second is to accumulate fame, so that after the time comes, he can only be taken seriously.
Third, if the time he expected to be before his life span is exhausted, then it would not be a waste of time for him to achieve something in Da Shang.
Jiang Ziya thought this way and did it, so he seemed confident in the face of Ao Bing's questioning.
There is a way of talking about the truth and not the heart. No matter what he thinks in his heart, he has been diligent since joining the Da Shang Dynasty and has never done anything that harms the interests of the Da Shang Dynasty.
He is in a straight manner and sits upright. Since this is the case, why should he be afraid?
"What I said is reasonable, but I have another thing to ask you, that is, if Zhou Kingdom rises in the future, will you abandon everything you have and go to surrender?"
Ao Bing actually didn't care what Jiang Ziya was thinking at all. He asked this just because he was just a routine.
"A good bird chooses trees to live on. If the big merchants don't let me down, I will never let the big merchants down."
Jiang Ziya immediately promised that he did not say anything loyal or unfaithful, and the monks didn't care about this. What monks care about is cause and effect. Only cause and effect can restrain monks.
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
If the great merchants value him, this is a kind of good cause. He must repay him with good results in the future and must never do anything that harms the interests of the great merchants. Otherwise, they will be subject to the backlash of cause and effect, which will cause the inner demons to arise, the heart of Tao is broken, and they will die if they go into devils.
On the contrary, if the Da Shang despises him, this is a kind of evil cause, and in the end he will only have bad consequences. Don’t blame him for going further and further on the road to overthrow the Da Shang.
"Remember what you said and follow me. Don't you want a wealthy life? Then I will give you a wealthy life, a wealthy life that you can't even imagine in your dreams."
Nodding, Ao Bing signaled Jiang Ziya to follow him.
"What kind of wealth?"
Jiang Ziya asked curiously while following Ao Bing away from the academy and walked out of the city. He did not doubt Ao Bing's words, because a person like him had no reason to lie to himself.
He just wasn't confident in himself. The gap between him and Ao Bing was so big that both sides were not on the same level and could not have contact at all.
But such a big man who is unaware of ordinary things suddenly appears in front of him at this moment, giving him a great wealth that he never dared to dream of.
No wonder Jiang Ziya is not confident. He is just a young monk who has not become an immortal, and his abilities are limited. Can he really catch the vast wealth that Ao Bing said?
Normally, things like Ao Bing are not something he can involve, and they are not even able to listen to, let alone use them.
"Have you heard of the North Sea Demon Clan?" Ao Bing said without looking back.
"When I was in Kunlun Mountain, I heard others mention that it is said that it was the power established by the ancestor Kunpeng. It is extremely powerful and is the dominant power of heaven and earth. Its strength is no worse than that of the three religions."
Jiang Ziya said carefully.
"Not worse than the three religions? This is too polite to mention the three religions. They are not considered saints. The three religions combined together are far inferior to the North Sea Demon Clan."
Upon hearing this, Ao Bing almost laughed out loud. The strength of the three religions is all based on the name of saints. If there were no saints, the three religions would be just ordinary forces in the world, and any one of the great supernatural powers could easily destroy them.
"I want to unite with the three major forces of the human dragon clan and immortal alliance to jointly attack the North Sea Monster Clan. The coalition forces lack a commander, so I think you are quite suitable, so let you go and give it a try."
Ignoring Jiang Ziya's expression, Ao Bing continued. As soon as he said this, Jiang Ziya was immediately startled.
He saw him pointing at himself with a confused look on his face, as if asking Ao Bing, "I'm fighting the North Sea Demon Clan, it's true or false."
This is too worthy of him. What kind of force is the North Sea Demon Clan? The overlord who is dominant on one side can kill him with one finger.
Let him fight the North Sea Demon Clan, isn’t Chunchun letting him die?
"It is to let you command in the center in the big tent, not to let you go to the front line to fight the enemy bravely. What are you worried about?"
"Also, you don't need to worry about the strong men of the North Sea Demon Clan. There are others who will help you deal with it. What you need to consider is how to lead the coalition forces to clear out the demon soldiers in the North Sea."
Seeing Jiang Ziya reacting like this, Ao Bing said angrily.
The individual strength of the North Sea Demon Soldier is not strong, most of whom are immortals, followed by Xuanxian, and Jinxian. If Ao Bing can take action, he can easily defeat him.
But he can't take action. Before Kunpeng was killed, no strong man could bully the small and slaughter the North Sea demon soldiers. Because this kind of bottomless behavior will completely anger Kunpeng, resulting in him retaliating against the enemy with the same means.
But not only the North Sea Monster Clan has ordinary tribes, but also human and dragon tribes. Under equal revenge, the two tribes could not afford it.
Therefore, since ancient times, whenever a great war occurs, the strong and the weak will separate, and each opens up a battlefield, which is clearly divided.
Only after the strong decide the winner can they free up their hands to clear the miscellaneous soldiers. Instead of clearing up the miscellaneous soldiers first, then fighting against the enemy strongmen.
Speaking of this, it doesn’t matter whether the battlefield of the weak is there. When the two tribes fight, it’s enough that the strong just need to decide the winner. Why bother to get involved in the weak?
In fact, although the weak are weak, due to the large number, the power of luck they gather can help the strong turn the situation around to a certain extent.
Take Kunpeng as an example. Whether the fortune of the North Sea demon soldiers is supported by the luck is completely two concepts, and the combat power is at least 20% weaker, or even more.
Kunpeng's combat power is quite a lot, almost equivalent to a great master of magical power.
This is why, when the two major forces go to war, they must first let the lower classes fight each other. The purpose is to weaken the enemy's luck as much as possible. In this way, it will be easier to decide the outcome when the strong break out.
This is the purpose of Ao Bing asking Jiang Ziya to rule the coalition forces and clear the Northern Seas demon soldiers.
"The Prime Minister can trust me, and I will do my best. But I don't understand that it should be my first time meeting with the Prime Minister, but why does the Prime Minister value me so much and give me such a heavy responsibility, not others?"
Although Jiang Ziya seemed a little helpless after being suddenly entrusted with an important task by Ao Bing, she quickly calmed down. Then he asked his most curious question.
Why does Ao Bing value him so much? It is true that he has the ability, but it was his first time coming out. Outsiders didn't know at all that Ao Bing trusted him, and there was no reason.
