The fairy father

King Wen was imprisoned in Youli and wrote the Book of Changes. This is a story that Li Pingan is familiar with.

But as far as Li Pingan originally knew, there are different versions of King Wen's imprisonment.

In the story of Fengshen Yanyi, King Wen imprisoned Ji Chang in Youli City because Emperor Xin wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of the four nobles, and other ministers pleaded for mercy.

There are also two versions in the history books. One is that Ji Chang said a few bad things about Emperor Xin in private, was reported by a villain, and then was imprisoned; the other is that Ji Chang suffered a military failure and failed to defeat the Shang army, so he was captured and imprisoned.

At the moment of Li Pingan...

He really didn't know what was going on.

Counting the years, it's not time yet. How old is Ji Chang now?

Without the script of the way of heaven, it's really a mess.

The only thing that remains unchanged is the conflict here.

Li Pingan has been paying attention to Emperor Xin recently, apart from his enlightenment. He only paid attention to how Emperor Xin planned and reformed, and did not look at the details of everything Emperor Xin did.

So, he frowned and asked: "Second brother, have you found out the reason?"

"This," Ji Fa sighed, "I just know that the king suddenly punished our father for treason."

Li Pingan wondered: "Father has always been cautious, how could he rebel? Even if he wanted to rebel, how could he be discovered?"

"Ah?" Ji Fa glared, "Father really wants to..."

"I'm kidding."

Li Pingan blinked and said seriously:

"Don't worry at the moment, it's useless to worry, everything in Chaoge City is normal.

"Secretly notify several uncles and let them be ready to accept the retreating subjects here at any time. If the king wants to move my father, he will most likely attack us.

"Now we must find out what happened in Chaoge City, so that we can use some strength."

Ji Fa said: "Okay, I will go back and wait for news, we have a lot of people there!"

"Except for a few uncles, don't notify others, and mother and others don't need to know."

"Okay!"

Ji Fa turned and ran away, and soon the sound of strange beasts running was heard outside the courtyard.

Li Ping'an stood there thinking for a while, and then he couldn't help but count with his fingers.

This calculation doesn't matter, he is really a little embarrassed.

Ji Chang naturally did not participate in the rebellion;

But Ji Chang has been cautious for decades, but recently he did something unwise-

Ji Chang met with Wei Ziqi privately and attended a banquet.

This was not a big deal, but something went wrong during this meeting. Wei Ziqi was drunk and actually spoke wildly, saying how unbearable Zishou was.

This matter was reported to Emperor Xin, and Emperor Xin was furious.

Emperor Xin punished Wei Ziqi by putting him in the royal prison and beat several of Wei Ziqi's staff to death;

Of the more than ten officials at the banquet, six were tortured to death and six were branded with fire, but Ji Chang was only imprisoned. Emperor Xin seemed to have not decided whether to deal a heavy blow to this prefect.

Emperor Xin was also afraid.

Now the Shang Dynasty was in the early stage of reform, the court was unstable, and the old officials in the court were united because Emperor Xin strengthened the imperial power, and secretly competed with Emperor Xin.

If Emperor Xin killed Ji Chang at this time, it would be easy for the Zhou Dynasty to completely rebel.

Emperor Xin vaguely knew how strong the hidden strength of the Zhou Dynasty was; if the Zhou Dynasty was so easy to deal with, the Shang Dynasty would have taken direct action in the generation of Ji Li.

As a result, Ji Chang's future is uncertain now, but fortunately he has not yet suffered the ancestral heavy punishment of the Shang Dynasty.

Li Pingan thought for a while and decided not to bother with the matter. He just did what Ji Dan should do. As for what would happen next, the initiative was in the hands of Emperor Xin. But then he thought...

Actually, he was already helping the Zhou Kingdom.

The original Ji Dan didn't have his "full map at any time" plug-in.

Nanzhou is vast and rich in resources. Even if there are exotic beasts such as carrier eagles, it would take a lot of time to transmit information, not to mention that it is easy to find out what happened in Chaoge City.

"This is really a bit tangled."

"Then should I help Ji Chang through this disaster? This matter is quite difficult to grasp."

Li Pingan frowned and thought.

...

Li Dazhi has been very busy in recent years.

Li Pingan went to understand the Tao, so the Heavenly Court threw it to Li Dazhi, Dong Wang, and Yao Chi to manage.

Yao Chi mainly enforces punishment, improves the heavenly rules, strengthens the heavenly rules, restrains the gods, and prevents the gods from oppressing the living beings.

The Eastern King is responsible for the assessment of the promotion and adjustment of immortals and gods, which also involves the gods stationed in the three thousand worlds, and the workload is huge.

And Li Dazhi is even more tired.

Li Dazhi is the head of the Tianting Finance Department. Every large account expenditure must be approved by him.

In recent years, he has also shouldered the heavy responsibility of rectifying Lingshan. The karma monsters raised in Lingshan are a mess.

Moreover, if Li Ping'an does not show up directly, should the various plans of Tianting be promoted? Who should be found for lack of funds, product acceptance, and overall idea design? All departments can only find Li Dazhi.

Therefore, Li Dazhi was so busy that he almost started to practice the Dafa of external incarnation.

What's more, Li Dazhi usually wants to squeeze out some time to go to Chentangguan to see the little "Nezha" and wait to see if there are mythological stories from his hometown that can be watched live...

On this day, Li Dazhi finished his official business in the immortal hall of the Finance Department, yawned and began to fall asleep.

He had just finished checking the accounts on hand, and he was really exhausted.

The immortal officials did not dare to disturb him, and they bowed to Li Dazhi and quietly left.

As soon as they left, Li Ping'an's shadow appeared on the side.

Seeing his father sleeping with his cheek propped up, Li Ping'an didn't want to be disturbed. He sat aside and picked up an account and looked at it carefully.

There is also great truth hidden in these numbers.

One is one and two is two. Mathematics does not lie. It is also the basic rule of order.

Li Pingan is not prepared to understand this avenue, mainly because it is too difficult, and when opening up a new world, it is enough to determine some basic parameters, and this avenue is not used.

His shadow sat cross-legged on the side, immersed in the Tao, and two hours passed by in a flash.

Li Dazhi, who had lay down to fall asleep at some point, stretched and slowly sat up. His slightly fat face was a little dazed, and he stared blankly at the sky outside the hall.

"dad?"

"Good guy!"

Li Dazhi woke up with a start, glared and cursed:

"Why are you always so mysterious?"

"Have it?"

Li Pingan squinted and smiled:

"It's not like I've been busy enlightening myself recently and wanted to come over and see you."

"Um?"

Li Dazhi put his hands in his sleeves and said with a smile:

"Something's wrong, there's a problem. You came to see my old father when you had nothing to do? Impossible! Absolutely impossible! You must have gone to Yaochi when you had nothing to do. Don't think I didn't see it."

Li Ping'an said helplessly: "I have a family, so I can't help it. Please be considerate."

"Tell me, what else are you undecided about?"

"There really is one."

"Look!"

Li Dazhi clapped the palms of his hands and sighed:

"I knew it. You just don't go to the Three Treasures Palace for any reason, but it's okay. The children will fly out when they grow up... Oh, what's going on?"

"It's Ji Chang's problem."

Li Ping'an chanted something and briefly told Ji Chang that he was drinking with Wei Ziqi, but Wei Ziqi made a mistake while drunk and was overheard by Emperor Xin. Ji Chang was imprisoned and his life was in danger.

Li Dazhi asked: "Isn't it enough that you can directly affect Di Xin's thoughts with just a flick of your finger for this trivial matter? Why sacrifice the near for the far?"

"This is not enlightenment."

Li Pingan said seriously:

"I regard the entire Nanzhou as my place of enlightenment, and I am comprehending many avenues such as the avenue of living beings and the path of the God of Power.

"If I wanted to help Ji Chang, I could solve it in a few moments, but now, I just want to do something that Ji Dan should and can do.

"This matter is a bit difficult for me. Should I intervene or should I not intervene? To what extent should I intervene? If I don't intervene, I would just watch the show and it would be difficult to be touched or gain insights. A little intervention can easily change the pattern of Nanzhou. It goes against my heart.”

"Ah this..."

Li Dazhi pondered for a moment and said with a smile:

"He's really good at embarrassing your old father, let me think about it.

"Speaking of which, why are you trying so hard to understand? Why don't you just follow your second father?"

Li Ping'an's forehead was covered with black lines.

No, what the hell is the second dad?

Did his father recognize his other self?

Li Dazhi murmured in a low voice: "I think you are just worrying blindly. That guy has arranged everything, so you can just keep your wife and children warm on the kang, so why bother?"

Li Ping'an sighed: "It's not that I don't want to bother, but there are some problems with his new world plan."

"What's the problem?"

"Theoretically, a sustainable world does not exist. The star sea world must break the dimensions."

Li Pingan was helpless:

"He seems to have arranged everything, but what is the result of his arrangement? Has he considered the survival of all living beings?

"In the hundreds of reincarnations of heaven and earth in the past, he was both the creator and the destroyer. There is no way to judge whether he is right or not. I can only say that his motives are not pure.

"But this time, do we want to try to make some changes? Do we want to prove that our own three views have not been affected by him and go out of our own way?"

Li Dazhi picked his nose and said, "I feel like you are just making it difficult for yourself. It's completely unnecessary."

"It's necessary," Li Ping'an looked forward and murmured, "It's very necessary."

Li Dazhi sighed.

He said: "I didn't listen to many things arranged by your grandfather, but when I think about it later, I actually regret it."

"These things are fundamentally different."

Li Pingan said:

“We are involved in the life and death of countless creatures.

“This is too heavy to accept.

"One life, in exchange for so many lives. If this life is sacrificed, it feels worth it, but if those countless lives are sacrificed, this is really hard to accept.

"Why am I not willing to directly help Ji Chang? It's actually very simple. Ji Chang is the same type of person as Di Xin at heart. There are more than a dozen skeletons in his secret room. That's because he is trying the process of human sacrifice.

"I can only let myself play the role of Ji Dan, and cannot let Li Ping'an help Ji Chang.

"If Ji Chang dies now, I would be quite happy to let Ji Fa or Ji Kao become the new co-leaders of the world. They are quite good."

Li Dazhi said: "In a sense, it was Ji Chang who took the lead and prevented Ji Fa and Ji Kao from taking this path. Everyone has their own cognitive limitations."

"Fine."

Li Ping'an clicked his tongue:

"Coming back to this question, should I help Ji Chang now, or should I watch him continue to sink?"

"Watch and don't take action. This is the least costly option for you."

Li Dazhi said with a smile:

"You are not Ji Dan, and Ji Chang is not just Ji Dan's son.

"Now I understand what you are struggling with. Simply put, you are not sure whether to give the Zhou Kingdom the Mandate of Heaven.

"You don't really care about Ji Chang's life or death, son.

"What you care about is whether there is a Mandate of Heaven in this transformation in Nanzhou, because as long as you participate in it and make a little move, it actually means that the Mandate of Heaven belongs to Zhou."

Li Ping'an nodded slowly, thoughtfully.

Li Dazhi continued:

"But, Ping'an, aren't you also promoting the birth of Zhou Li? Isn't this the Mandate of Heaven?

"So, there is nothing absolute about this matter, and there is nothing worth it or not. It all depends on how you view the Mandate of Heaven.

"If it extends outward, it is restraint and freedom.

"Is it right not to impose constraints on living beings? Think about our hometown, it is a completely godless world, what kind of scene is that? There are turmoil everywhere, and only one corner is safe. Even in the history of our hometown, peace and turmoil are constantly alternating.

"This is the prehistoric world, a mythical world created. The only benefit of the mythical world is that when you stand at the top of the immortals and dominate the way of heaven, you can create an ideal world for yourself.

"You have been pushed by another me, so you have no time to think about this problem. In fact, you should think it through now.

"Don't look at the new world you will open up in the future. That will be a story for 20,000 years later. - The end of this world, according to the information that guy left me, is 23,000 years later. The Avenue of Time will come to an abrupt end. I guess you will open up a new world at that time.

"What you need to think about now is what kind of prehistoric world you want to create in these 23,000 years.

"What you need to comprehend is not the Avenue of All Living Things, and the meaning of your stay in Nanzhou is not to promote Zhou Li, but... to create a world that you think is right, and then help this world pass the end.

"This is not our hometown. The development of the thoughts of the creatures here is also different from that of the godless world. Don't substitute your hometown for what it is.

"The road is under your feet.

"What you see when you look up is the sky. "

Li Pingan lowered his head and thought.

He originally wanted to chat with his father casually, but he found a topic when there was no topic.

Unexpectedly, it was quite rewarding.

"Dad, I roughly understand."

"Hey," Li Dazhi smiled with narrowed eyes, "Then let me find out what you are going to do next?"

Li Pingan smiled and said, "Save Ji Chang's life, at least don't let him die now, first turn Nanzhou into what I imagine, and then transform the three thousand worlds... The road to order is in my hands."

"That's right! It's nonsense for you to practice materialism in the mythological world! Go! I'll sleep a little longer. "

Li Dazhi waved his hand.

Li Pingan didn't agree with this statement.

His ideal world must be...

All the world is united!

However, the cultivation qualifications and understanding of individuals are different, and this world is united...it seems that there is no theoretical basis.

Li Pingan's shadow flashed and appeared directly in Chaoge City.

The location of Ji Chang's prison is also very interesting. It is near the "human sacrifice market". A courtyard is separated by a high earth wall, and dozens of wooden cages are placed inside.

Imitation Buddha, if you pull the person out of here, you can send him directly to the slaughterhouse.

Ji Chang was very haggard at this moment, wearing gorgeous clothes and white hair, slumped in the wooden cage, staring blankly at the front, and did not say a word for a long time.

Near the cage, several soldiers served water and food.

It was obvious that Ji Chang was also taken care of here, and he would not die from being trapped.

Li Ping'an's shadow flashed and arrived at the side hall of the palace. Looking at Di Xin who was thinking among the beauties, he raised his hand and pointed.

He heard Di Xin's voice.
