Chapter 142 Jiang Ziya and Shen Gongbao

Song.

"Senior brother!?"

"Junior brother!?"

In the tavern, when Jiang Ziya and Shen Gongbao met, they both looked at each other with astonishment.

"Junior brother, why did you come down the mountain?"

Shen Gongbao was even more surprised. You know, Jiang Ziya's cultivation was shallow and he had been practicing hard in Kunlun Mountain all year round. How could he have the time to travel around the mountains and rivers?

Even if Jiang Ziya wanted to, he didn't have the ability.

However, after seeing Shen Gongbao, Jiang Ziya was happy at first, but then when faced with his question, he suddenly showed a bitter smile on his face and sighed.

"Brother, Master said that I have no chance to become an immortal, so he sent me down the mountain, and said that I can enjoy the wealth and honor of the human world."

Just as Shen Gongbao and Jiang Ziya, two fellow disciples, met and talked excitedly, King Ji Chang of Xibo was stunned.

These two were indeed disciples of the saint of Yuxu Palace in Kunlun Mountain, but why did it turn out like this?
Ji Fa also showed his frustration and anger. Why did Bo Yikao also have the help of immortals?

Bo Yikao was also surprised, as they turned out to be fellow disciples.

But now! What is this?

"Senior brother..."

When Jiang Ziya and Shen Gongbao met, they were happy and had a good chat at the beginning, but at the end, their expressions became obviously solemn.

Jiang Ziya came to enjoy the wealth and glory of the world, while Shen Gongbao came to find his own opportunity.

"Junior brother, when you and I join forces in the future, wealth and honor in the world will be easily obtained..."

It is obvious that Shen Gongbao will not give up when faced with an opportunity. After all, opportunities are too rare for cultivators.

Moreover, he could feel that his opportunity with Jifa was definitely not small.

However, this made Jiang Ziya feel embarrassed. If he had come earlier, everything would have been fine, but now Bo Yikao had appointed him as prime minister.

Now Jiang Ziya has only been sent down the mountain by Yuanshi Tianzun, and has not yet accepted the important task of being deified.

This is almost equivalent to him being just a disciple who had no chance to practice the way of immortality and was sent down the mountain by his master. It can be said that his comprehension is extremely poor.

But Shen Gongbao is different. His understanding of cultivation is far beyond his.

Just then, a messenger from the palace came outside the tavern.

"The king has ordered that Bo Yikao should quickly go to the military camp outside Chaoge City and lead 20,000 Xiqi elite troops back to Xiqi..."

No one expected that the King of Shang's imperial edict would come so quickly and so suddenly.

King Ji Chang and Ji Fa of the Western Zhou Dynasty had to stay to discuss the redivision of the North Sea territory. Not only them, but all four major princes stayed.

There is also a detailed division of the territories of the princes in the Beihai area.

The rest of the princes were able to return.

None of these are important. What is important is that the King of Shang actually ordered Bo Yikao to lead the elite troops from Xiqi who had supported the Shang Dynasty in conquering the North Sea!

This time, the King of Shang actually returned the troops that the princes had sent to Beihai to quell the rebellion.

The difference is that the troops of Xiqi were handed over to the crown prince Bo Yikao, who was ordered to march immediately.

After hearing this, Bo Yikao excitedly clasped his fists and shouted, "I obey your command!"

There are troops from various princes outside Chaoge City. If you stay there for too long, they will think you have two minds.

Therefore, it is understandable that he ordered Bo Yikao to lead his troops away quickly.

However, Bo Yikao led his troops back to Xiqi, while King Jichang of Xibo was still in Chaoge. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that this was a trick to deceive King Jichang of Xibo.

Faced with this situation, King Ji Chang of Xibo could only pretend not to understand, while Ji Fa showed resentment and jealousy.

It was a foregone conclusion that Bo Yikao would return to Xiqi.

As Bo Yikao received the order, he had to leave. Jiang Ziya also gave a helpless smile and chose to say goodbye with Shen Gongbao.

"Immortal?"

"Father?"

Inside the tavern, looking at Bo Yikao and Jiang Ziya walking away, Xibohou Ji Chang and Ji Fa both looked inquiring.

Jifa in particular looked unwilling. Where is the North Sea?
It's a barren and cold place, it can't be compared with Xiqi at all.

However, under Ji Fa's direct gaze, Shen Gongbao stroked his black beard confidently and smiled indifferently.

"Although Jiang Ziya and I are both saints, Jiang Ziya's comprehension is very poor. He came down the mountain this time because he failed to achieve immortality and came here to enjoy the wealth and honor of the world."

Although he did not say a word of contempt, Shen Gongbao's tone and expression almost made it clear that he was telling Ji Chang and his son.

Jiang Ziya is nothing!

I have achieved success in becoming an immortal, but I have only been seeking opportunities, while Jiang Ziya can be said to have been sent down the mountain.

There is no comparison between the two.

As for being disciples of the same saint, there is still a gap between them.

After hearing this, Ji Fa suddenly showed a look of realization, and then excitedly bowed to Shen Gongbao and said:

"Thank you, father. In the future, Ji Fa will have his people build a temple and erect a golden statue for you, and spread the great way of Yuxu Palace in Kunlun Mountain..."

Seeing Ji Fa's excitement, Shen Gongbao smiled with satisfaction.

Bo Yikao and Jiang Ziya, who left at the same time, also looked solemn.

"Father, do I have a chance of winning this way?"

Bo Yikao looked solemn, and Jiang Ziya also smiled bitterly.

"My Lord, although you have great principles, as I said before, Shen Gongbao's magical powers far exceed mine."

When it comes to his literary and military skills, he naturally has absolute confidence, but now he has to rely on the support of the saints and the great religion.

It is obvious that Shen Gongbao is much more important than him now.

It seemed that he saw the huge gap in status between Jiang Ziya and Shen Gongbao, and Bo Yikao was indeed a kind-hearted person.

"Don't worry, father."

Bo Yikao comforted Jiang Ziya and said with a smile:
"Even if Ji Fa has the help of the immortal Shen Gongbao, my uncle Yi Kao is the eldest son and the current crown prince of Xiqi. He is legitimate and everyone in the world is watching."

Being in a position of justice, this is his advantage.

It is obvious that Bo Yikao's support for the great teachings of the sage was not as great as that of King Ji Chang of the Western Zhou Dynasty.

However, Jiang Ziya felt full of shame when facing Bo Yikao's trust.

He considered himself extraordinary and acted like a hermit, which made Bo Yikao invite him out of seclusion three times and even appoint him as prime minister.

Never thought!
It’s just the beginning and this happened!

Shame on you!
"Don't worry, my lord. I will go to Kunlun Mountain. If you think it is really impossible, I will also protect your safety for the rest of your life."

At this moment Jiang Ziya couldn't help but frown. This was not only Bo Yikao's business, but also his business.

At least before going down the mountain, Yuanshi Tianzun told him that he could enjoy the wealth and honor of the world, so he naturally went back to ask for advice.

"Father, this matter?"

Bo Yikao was obviously a little worried. After all, even he knew that the disciple who was let down the mountain was a very talented and successful disciple in the way of immortality.

There is still a gap between the two.

However, Jiang Ziya looked determined and said,

"Don't worry, my lord. It's just right that you are leading your troops back to Xiqi and can take my family with you. If things are really impossible, I will protect your family even if it means losing face." After seeing Jiang Ziya treating him like this, Bo Yikao was very grateful and held Jiang Ziya's hands tightly with both of his.

"Father, if this is really impossible, I don't want to cause trouble for you. If it doesn't work, then we can go to the North Sea."

The image of Bo Yikao and Jiang Ziya as a wise king and loyal minister is truly moving.

Now that the decision had been made, Jiang Ziya was not the type to hesitate. He simply made a hand gesture, used the earth escape technique, and headed towards Kunlun Yuxu Palace.

However, when Jiang Ziya used the earth escape technique to head towards Kunlun Mountain, Shen Gongbao, who was not far away, naturally saw it clearly.

"What a Jiang Ziya! I have been so kind to give you wealth and honor, yet you actually underestimate me!"

Jiang Ziya's behavior of going back to his teacher when he couldn't win immediately made Shen Gongbao angry.

He was sincere to Jiang Ziya at the beginning, but he never thought that you would play tricks on me. So don't blame me.

"Father, has anything changed?"

Ji Fa on the side had completely turned into a loyal lackey, and when Shen Gongbao saw this, he showed a sarcastic look on his face and smiled indifferently.

"No problem, it's just that my junior brother is unwilling to give up and actually wants to go back to Kunlun Mountain. If that's the case, then I'll go there too."

After hearing this, Jifa also showed a mocking look. One was a disciple with good talent, and the other was a disciple with poor talent who had already been sent down the mountain.

Everyone knows who the clown is in the end.

"In that case, I will trouble you, Father."

Looking at Ji Fa who was very respectful, Shen Gongbao smiled with satisfaction and bowed his head, saying:
"I will be back in three to five days at most. By then, I am afraid that my junior brother will be embarrassed."

Shen Gongbao had a confident smile on his face at this time, and he never worried about any setbacks in this matter.

Even if the master doesn't like him, it depends on who he is compared with.

Just Jiang Ziya!

……

Kunlun Mountain, Yuxu Palace.

Yuanshi Tianzun, who was wandering in his trance, suddenly opened his eyes, showed a puzzled look, then counted with his fingers, and suddenly revealed a trace of anger.

"What a traitor! How dare you go against the will of heaven!"

When Jiang Ziya used the earth escape technique to arrive at Kunlun Mountain, Yuanshi Tianzun was naturally the first to sense it.

In his plan, Jiang Ziya was naturally the person he chose, as for Shen Gongbao!

Once he decides on something, it cannot be changed!

Because he is a saint!

But after Jiang Ziya used his earth escape technique to reach Kunlun Mountain, he couldn't help showing a look of melancholy.

He had just left Kunlun Mountain not long ago, but he never thought that he would come back again.

When Jiang Ziya walked to the gate of Yuxu Palace, he just saw the White Crane Boy coming out.

Before Jiang Ziya could say anything, the White Crane Boy bowed respectfully and said:

"Brother Ziya, the Saint has issued an order to allow Brother Ziya to enter the palace directly to listen to the order."

Jiang Ziya was not at all surprised by Yuanshi Tianzun's foresight. Instead, he bowed with a respectful look.

"Thank you!"

Although Jiang Ziya looked calm, there was an obvious worry between his brows. He himself was unsure at the moment.

Jiang Ziya walked into the Yuxu Palace, and after he reached the Bagua Jade Stage, he knelt down and said:

"Jiang Shang is outside waiting for the emperor's order."

Inside the Yuxu Palace, Yuanshi Tianzun on the jade platform slowly revealed his true appearance in the fairy mist and looked at Jiang Ziya with an indifferent expression.

The moment he saw Yuanshi Tianzun, Jiang Ziya fell to his knees and bowed down, saying, "Disciple Jiang Shang wishes Master a long life!"

Yuanshi Tianzun looked at Jiang Ziya calmly and nodded:
"It is a good opportunity for you to go up the mountain now. I will bring you this Investiture of the Gods. Then you can go to Mount Qishan and build a Investiture of the Gods platform. On the platform, hang the Investiture of the Gods, and your life's work will be complete."

As Yuanshi Tianzun spoke, Jiang Ziya thought about a lot of things, but he did not expect that he would be able to shoulder such a heavy responsibility. Immediately, his expression showed excitement.

At this time, Shen Gongbao also came to Kunlun slowly with a confident smile on his face.

He traveled at a leisurely pace along the way, otherwise, in terms of Taoism, how could Jiang Ziya be ahead of him.

"Junior Brother Ziya, there are some things you must recognize clearly. I will promise you a life of wealth and honor in the future."

Shen Gongbao was still immersed in his own hysteria. In his eyes, Jiang Ziya would definitely anger his teacher, and then he would take action.

Gee!

However, just when Jiang Ziya and Shen Gongbao reached Kunlun Mountain one after another, Bo Yikao and Ji Fa from the mortal world entered into a dream at the same time.

……

Bo Yikao had led his troops out of Chaoge, and brought along Jiang Ziya's family, the Ma clan.

Although Ji Fa was left in Chaoge, this night seemed to be a sign of something.

The moment the two entered the dream, the magical power from the saint of Kunlun Mountain slowly pulled them into the sea of ​​consciousness.

In a dreamlike environment, fairy mist is floating.

In the haze, Bo Yikao and Ji Fa appeared in this fairyland at the same time. They were on different mountain tops, but neither of them could see each other.

At this moment, under the majestic power of heaven, a voice was heard from the sky.

"If you become the common rulers of the world in the future, what will you do..."

Bo Yikao and Ji Fa were awakened by the divine words.

Bo Yikao, who was standing on the top of the mountain, suddenly said in horror:

"The current Shang King is a man of virtue. How dare I, a mere Xiqi, provoke him? If the war breaks out, all lives will be destroyed..."

On the other side, Jifa directly exposed his ambition.

At this moment, there seemed to be a magical power that made the two of them speak out all the desires and ambitions in their hearts in a daze.

The next moment, the surrounding environment changed and they appeared directly in the Chaoge Palace.

"Meet the king!"

In the familiar nine-room hall, all the civil and military officials were bowing and paying their respects. Bo Yikao looked flustered, while Ji Fa's face was flushed with excitement.

However, the Antarctic Immortal who was hidden in the clouds smiled and nodded after seeing this scene.

Character and other matters are of no concern; he wants to choose the future ruler of the world on behalf of his saintly master.

Then the next moment, the two seemed to have forgotten everything that had happened and lived in the days when they became the common rulers of the world.

Both of them were wise kings, but there was one thing that made the Immortal of the South Pole frown.

It was seen that Bo Yikao not only completely imitated and followed the ritual system of the previous Shang Dynasty, but also built temples and worshiped the saint Nuwa and the Three Sovereigns of Humankind.

It seems that human affairs are naturally decided by human beings. The immortals of the Chan sect and even the various cultivators cannot disrupt the human dynasty without authorization.

But Jifa is completely different. He directly respects God as the Lord and the saint is the sky!
The affairs of the human race will naturally develop, but equally, whenever a saint or God instructs him, he will carry it out.

It was this scene that made the Antarctic Immortal frown.

"The saint is heaven! If all things do not obey the will of heaven, heaven will send down a torrential flood to punish the world..."

As God became angry, the two suddenly woke up facing the raging flood.
