The Mingyu of Prehistoric Times

Chapter 420 King Zhou is absurd

After breaking the Zhuxian Sword, the four cult leaders returned to the Lu Peng and sat down. Yuan Shi thanked the Western leader and said, "The two fellow Taoists violated the precepts for us. This poor Taoist is really uneasy!"

"All living beings are suffering and cannot protect themselves in the great calamity. So what if we break the precepts? It's nothing compared to countless living beings. My fellow Taoist has said it before!" Taoist Master Zhunti clasped his hands together and said disapprovingly.

"Amitabha!" The Taoist priest suddenly chanted a Buddha's name, sat on the golden lotus and closed his mouth again.

Taiqing Taoist suddenly said to all the disciples: "Tongtian Cult Master violates the will of God, so naturally he can only fail but not win. If we act in accordance with God's will, we will naturally win every battle without making any mistakes. It is as easy as using a lamp to illuminate a shadow. Now Once this formation is broken, your disaster will be over and you will have good results. Jiang Shang, you go and capture the pass. We will go back to the mountain first."

All the disciples said goodbye to Jiang Ziya and followed the four leaders back to the mountain. Ziya said goodbye to his master and returned to Sishuiguan to meet King Wu. All the generals came to see Ziya. The marshal first arrived at the marshal's residence to see King Wu. King Wu said: "My father has traveled a long way to defeat the fierce military formation. Please forgive me for not being able to send anyone to greet you because of the presence of the immortals."

Ziya thanked him and replied: "Thanks to the divine grace and relying on the power of heaven, the saints of the three religions came in person and broke through the Zhuxian Formation together. We are just ahead of the Jiepai Pass. Please go ahead tomorrow." King Wu Chuan An order was issued to prepare wine to celebrate the victory.

The Tongtian leader was beaten with a crutch by Taoist Taoist Taiqing, and he was beaten with a blessing tree by Taoist Zhunti. He suffered a big loss and lost four swords. How could he have the face to meet his disciples! I thought: "It's better to set up an altar on Zizhi Cliff and worship an evil cock named 'Six Soul Pan'." This cock has six tails, and on the tail are written Taoist Jie Yin, Taoist Zhunti, Taoist Taiqing, The names of Yuanshi, King Wu, and Jiang Shang were cursed with talismans in the morning and evening. On the day when the worship was completed, the names of Yuanshi, King Wu, and Jiang Shang were sown and used to harm the lives of the six people. He also had a bad breath.

This is really true: the evil spirit of the leftist path will not cease, and worshiping the six soul broadcasters will be in vain.

Let's not talk about whether the Six Soul Flag can harm the saint's life. This pan that Tongtian Taoist worshiped later came into use in the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation. At Jiepaiguan, Xu Gai boarded the Yin'an Hall and discussed with the generals: "Now the Zhou soldiers have captured Sishui Pass and are stationed there without sending troops. The Taoist Duobao who came the day before yesterday set up some kind of immortal-killing array. I don’t know whether we will win or lose. Now I will write a memorial and send people to Chaoge to bring in reinforcements to guard this pass."

At that time, the official received the memorial and headed to Chaoge. He encountered no obstacles along the way, crossed the Yellow River, entered Chaoge City, dismounted at the Meridian Gate, and came to the clerk's room. That day was Jizi's inspection of the memorial, and he was shocked when he saw Xu Gai's letter: "Jiang Shang's army invaded Sishui Pass and captured Qinglong Pass and Jiameng Pass on the left and right. The army arrived at Jiepai Pass. The matter is extremely urgent! "

Jizi hurriedly came to see King Zhou with the memorial in his arms and arrived at the foot of the deer platform. The general on duty reported: "Ji Zi is waiting for the imperial edict." King Zhou said, "Let him in." Ji Zi went up to the deer platform, kowtowed, and handed over Xu Gai's letter. King Zhou read the memorial and asked Jizi in surprise: "Unexpectedly, Jiang Shang rebelled and invaded my pass. We must send generals to help guard the pass in order to stop the vicious rebels."

Jizi reported: "Now there is unrest in all directions. Jiang Shang supports King Wu and has great ambitions. Now he has led an army of 600,000 to invade Wu Pass. This is a serious problem. We cannot act hastily. I hope the emperor will stop drinking and having fun first. Take state affairs as the foundation and put society and the country as the center. I hope the emperor understands this! "

King Zhou said: "Your Majesty is right. I will discuss with the ministers and send officers to reinforce." Jizi came down from Lutai. King Zhou was unhappy and was not in the mood to make fun of him. Suddenly Daji and Hu Ximei came out of the palace to see him. After bowing and sitting down, Daji said, "Your Majesty is frowning and depressed today. What's the reason?"

King Zhou said: "You don't know. Now Jiang Shang has sent troops to invade the border passes and has occupied three passes. It is really a serious problem. Moreover, there are swords and soldiers everywhere. It makes me uneasy. I am worried about the ancestral temple and the country, so I am uneasy."

Daji smiled and added: "Your Majesty does not understand the following situation. These are all border generals seeking profit. They lied that Zhou's army of 600,000 soldiers came to invade the border, bribed the ministers with money, and deceived your Majesty. Your Majesty will definitely make a fuss." Money and food support; therefore, the generals guarding the border can pretend to receive aid and waste the court's money and food for personal gain. How can the army invade the border? It is really a shameful combination of internal and external alliances to deceive the king. "

After hearing this, King Zhou believed that what she said was reasonable, and asked Daji: "If the general guarding the pass comes again, how will he send it?" Sister Ji said: "There is no need to review it, just kill one of the officials who wrote it, and use it to Warning to future generations.”

King Zhou was very happy after hearing this, and issued an order: "Behead the official who reported the letter and show it to the public in Chaoge City." This is really: a few words of evil words, the country is lost, and the unified Chinese and barbarians belong to the Zhou Dynasty.

King Zhou listened to Da Ji's words and quickly issued an order: "The official who came to deliver the message through the border gate should be killed immediately to show the public!" After Jizi heard this, he hurried to the palace and asked King Zhou: "Why did the emperor kill the official?"

King Zhou said: "The emperor does not know that the generals at the border are seeking personal gain and falsely reporting that six hundred thousand soldiers from Zhou Dynasty are coming to invade the border. It is nothing more than a cunning trick to impersonate the country's money and grain. This is collusion between the inside and outside to deceive the king. He should be beheaded to avoid future troubles." ”

Jizi said: "Jiang Shang raised 600,000 troops. He ascended the throne on March 15 and was worshiped as marshal. Everyone in the world knows that the report was not made today. If the emperor kills the messenger at Jiepaiguan, Aren’t you betraying the hearts of the border officers?”

King Zhou chuckled and said, "I think Jiang Shang is just a Taoist priest. What can he do? Don't worry, uncle. Don't worry." Jizi left the palace with a long sigh. Looking at the Chaoge Palace, he couldn't help but shed tears sadly, lamenting that the country was in ruins. to perish.

Jizi wrote a poem in Jiujian Hall and sighed: "I recall that in the past when Chengtang was released, all eight hundred princes returned here. Who would have thought that more than six hundred years later, Nanchao would be even more amazing." After finishing the poem, Jizi Sighing and returning home.

Marshal Jiang selected men and horses to march forward at Sishui Pass to bid farewell to King Wu. Ziya said to King Wu: "I will go to seize Jiepai Pass first, and then I will send someone to pick you up." King Wu said: "I hope my father-in-law can meet the princes as soon as possible. It will be my blessing."

Ziya bid farewell to King Wu, fired the cannon, and drove to Jiepaiguan. There are only eighty miles between the two places, so it can be reached quickly by walking. As we were walking, we heard a spy entering the Chinese army reporting: "We have arrived at Jiepaiguan." Ziya gave the order: "Set up camp."

They fired guns and shouted and stationed themselves down. Xu Gai knew that Zhou soldiers had set up camp outside the pass, so he went up to the city tower with his generals to watch. The red flags were waving in Zhou's camp, the antlers were heavily obstructed, and the morale of the army was in order.

Xu Gai said: "Jiang Ziya is a Taoist priest of the Kunlun sect. He is naturally organized in raising troops. Just looking at the camp is different." Wang Bao and Peng Zun, the forerunners next to him, replied: "Marshal, don't praise other people's abilities. Wait until the young generals become "Gong, we must capture Jiang Shang, take him to Chaoge, and deal with him according to the laws of the country."

After saying that, they went down to the city and prepared to fight. The next day, Ziya asked his men: "Which general will go to Guanxia to win the first prize?" After finishing his words, Wei Gui walked out and said, "I am willing to go." "Jiang Ziya agreed.

Wei Gui got on his horse, left the camp with a gun, and came to Guanxia to challenge. The messenger entered the pass and reported: "Report to the commander: There is a Zhou general under the pass who wants to fight." Xu Gai said: "All the generals are here. Let's discuss it first before going to work. King Feng listened to the slander and killed the messenger.

He brought about his own destruction, not the sin of disloyalty as a minister. Now that the world has returned to King Wu of Zhou, seeing that this barrier cannot be defended, everyone cannot but think about it. "

Peng Zun said: "What the general said is wrong. We are all King Zhou's ministers, and we should serve the country with all our loyalty. How can we forget that the king seeks personal gain in one day? There is an old saying: 'I use the king's salary but give the king's money'." The land is disloyal. 'I would rather die than do such a thing! I am willing to give my little strength to repay the king's great kindness."

After saying that, he immediately got on his horse and went out of the gate. When he saw Wei Gui and his men, they were like a dark cloud. All he saw was: the webbed head was dyed pure ink, and the forehead was lined with red tassels. The soap robe is like black paint, and the iron armor is like pine trees. A steel whip hangs over the shadow of the tower, and a sword sticks into the ice peak. A man is like a tiger descending from the mountain, and a horse is like a dragon rising from the sea. As a guest at Ziya's gate, the brave general Wei Guixiong left.

When Peng Zun saw Wei Gui, he shouted, "Send your name, General Zhou!" Wei Zui replied, "I am Wei Zui, the left-poster vanguard under General Jiang Ziya of Qizhou. Who are you? If you knew the current affairs, you would have surrendered the pass earlier." , help the King of Zhou together, or else surrender, we will be destroyed together on the day we conquer the city, and it will be too late to regret!"

After hearing this, Peng Zun was furious and cursed: "Wei Gui, you are just a pawn, how dare you say such big words!" He waved his gun and urged his horse to attack Wei Gui. Wei Gui raised the gun in front of him to fight. The two horses crossed each other, the two guns were wielded at the same time, and a battle broke out.

Wei Gui was a good man, and his gun power was unmatched. After thirty rounds of fighting, Peng Zun couldn't beat Wei Cui, and he fled south with a false shot. Wei Gui saw that Peng Zun was defeated and fled, so he chased after him. Peng Zun looked back and saw Wei Zui chasing after him. He quickly hung up his gun, took something out of his bag and threw it on the ground.

This is a strange formation, laid out according to the directions of the Three Cai Bagua. Peng Zun went in first, but Wei Gui didn't know it and urged his horse to rush into the formation. Peng Zun fired a palm thunderbolt on his horse, which shook the formation. A burst of black smoke came out and there was a sound. Wei Gui and his horse were shattered by the shock. Peng Zun beat the victory drum and returned to the pass.

The messenger went into the Zhou camp and reported: "Marshal, Wei Gui and his horses were shaken to powder." After hearing this, Ziya sighed: "Wei Gui was a loyal and brave general. It's a pity that he died so miserably. How pitiful!" Teeth was very sad.

At this time, Peng Zun entered the pass and went to see Xu Gai and told him about defeating Wei Gui. Xu Gaixian reported his military exploits to him. The next day, Xu Gai said to the generals: "There is not enough food and grass in the pass, and the imperial court has not sent anyone to reinforce. Although we defeated them yesterday, I am afraid that this pass will not be able to be defended in the end."

While they were discussing, the sentry came to report: "There is a general from Zhou who will challenge me." Wang Bao said, "I am willing to fight." He got on his horse and went out with his gun. He saw only one of Zhou's generals, including both men and horses. It's a green color. Wang Bao asked: "What is the name of General Zhou?" Su Hu said. "I am Yizhou Hou Suhu."

Wang Bao said: "Su Hu, you are the most ruthless and unjust guy in the world! Your daughter is favored by the king. As a relative of the emperor, your whole family enjoys the glory and wealth bestowed by the emperor. However, you don't want to repay your kindness. Instead, you help King Wu rebel. Invading the former master's fortress, how can you live in this world!" He spurred his horse and waved his halberd to kill Su Hu.

Su Hu raised his pistol in front to attack. The two horses are staggered, and the spears and halberds are raised simultaneously. Su Hu was fighting with Wang Bao. Su Quanzhong, Zhao Bing, and Sun Ziyu who were standing next to him rushed up and surrounded Wang Bao. How could Wang Bao defeat him? Feeling that he was outnumbered, he took the horse out of the circle and ran away.

Zhao Bing then chased after him, and as he was hurrying, Wang Bao fired back with a thunderbolt, hitting Zhao Bing in the face. Unfortunately, he followed Wang Dongzheng and fell off the saddle before he could receive the reward. Sun Tzu Yu hurriedly came to the rescue, and Wang Bao released another thunder. This thunder was really powerful. When there was thunder, there was fire. Sun Tzu Yu was hit in the face by the thunder and fire, and fell off his horse. Wang Bao stabbed him to death. on the ground.

The Su family father and son did not dare to come forward. Wang Bao also knew the current affairs and beat the drums to return to the pass to see Xu Gai and report the good news of killing two generals in a row and returning victoriously. Su Hu and his son also returned to Zhouying to see Ziya and told the story of the loss of the second general.

Ziya said: "You and your son have been in battle for a long time, how come you don't know how to advance and retreat, resulting in the loss of two generals?" Su Quanzhong said: "Marshal, if we fight on horseback, it will be easy. Now Wang Bao waved his hand with illusion, and it will be easy." If thunder and fire are produced and hit in the face, the face will be burned. How can it withstand it? Therefore, both generals were defeated. "

Ziya said: "There was an accident and the loyal general was lost. It's really sad!" The next day, Ziya said: "Who among you will go there again?" Before he finished speaking, Lei Zhenzi stood up and said, "Disciple is willing Go." Ziya agreed. Lei Zhenzi left the camp and went to the pass to challenge. The messenger officer enters the customs to report the news.

Xu Gai asked: "Who is going to go for a ride?" Peng Zun accepted the order and went out. He saw that Lei Zhenzi looked very ferocious, with a face as blue and black as dye, a big mouth, red hair, and teeth that were long and messy. Coming out, Peng Zunjian asked, "Who is coming?"

Lei Zhenzi said: "I am Lei Zhenzi, the younger brother of King Wu." Peng Zun didn't know that Lei Zhenzi had two wings under his side, so he was shot with his hand, spurred his horse, and went straight towards Lei Zhenzi. Lei Zhenzi spread out his wind and thunder wings, flew up, swung his golden stick and struck him on the head. Where Peng Zun could resist, he turned his horse and fled. Seeing that his pretense failed, Lei Zhenzi quickly flew up with his wings and chased after him. He hit the head with a stick. Peng Zun's horse was running slowly, so he hurriedly tried to block it, but was being hit. On the shoulder, he was knocked off his horse and his head was cut off.

Lei Zhenzi went to the camp to see Ziya, and Ziya recorded it in his merit book. At this time, the messenger entered the pass and reported: "Peng Zun was killed in battle, and his head was hung outside the military gate for public display." Xu Gai said: "This pass cannot be held in the end. I know the situation is over, but you just want to show off."

After hearing this, Wang Bao said: "Coach, don't be impatient. If I can't beat you tomorrow, you can do whatever you want." Xu Gai had nothing to say, so Wang Bao turned around and went back to his residence.

Xu Gai returned to the back hall silently that night. Unexpectedly, on the next day, Wang Bao didn't even come to see the general. Instead, he took matters into his own hands and led his troops out of the customs to challenge Zhou Ying. The spies reported the challenge to the Chinese military tent.

Jiang Ziya asked: "Which one is willing to go out to fight?" Nachi replied: "I am willing to go." Jiang Ziya agreed to him. So Nezhi boarded the hot wheel, grabbed the fire-pointed spear in his hand, ran out of the military camp and came to the front of the battle.

Wang Bao saw a general coming on the Hot Wheels, and quickly asked: "Is the person here the same as Nezha?" Nezha replied: "Exactly." Before he finished speaking, he drew his gun and stabbed Wang Bao.

Wang Bao hurriedly used his painted halberd to block it. Wang Bao knew that Na Chi was a disciple of Chan Jiao, and thought to himself: "The only way to hit someone is to strike first." So when you were blocking each other and fighting each other, Wang Bao suddenly sent out a thunderbolt in the face and hit Na Chi. Kill him first. You know this thunder can only hurt others, but not Nezha.

Nezha was originally the incarnation of a lotus. When he saw the thunder and the flames coming, he climbed on the hot wheel and flew into the air. Wang Bao's efforts were in vain, and the thunder he fired did not hurt Nezha's hair. Nezha raised the Qiankun Circle, and the circle flew over and hit Wang Bao on the head, knocking him unconscious and causing him to fall off his horse.

Nezha quickly stabbed Wang Bao to death, cut off his head, and ordered him to return to the camp to see Jiang Ziya. He told Jiang Ziya in detail how he fought against Wang Bao. Ziya was very happy to hear this.

Besides, when Xu Gai heard that Wang Bao had been killed in battle, he thought to himself: "The two generals did not understand the current affairs and acted bravely, but they themselves were killed. Therefore, I might as well send someone to negotiate a surrender to avoid losing more troops and generals." Make living things miserable.”

When he was worried about the problem, someone suddenly came and reported: "A Toutuo Taoist has come to meet me." Xu Gai ordered: "Please come in."

Immediately the Taoist came in, went to the front of the hall, bowed his head, and said to Xu Gai: "General Xu, I am rude to you as a poor Taoist." Xu Gai said, "Please don't be polite. What advice can you give the Taoist priest here?"

The Taoist said: "General, you don't know that one of my disciples, named Peng Zun, was killed by Lei Zhenzi, so I came here to avenge him."

Xu Gai asked again: "May I ask what is Taoist Gao's name?" The Taoist replied, "My surname is Fa, and my name is Jie." Xu Gai saw that this Taoist was somewhat immortal, so he hurriedly asked him to sit down. Dharma Ring also showed no humility and happily sat at the top.

Xu Gai said to the Taoist priest: "Jiang Ziya is a Taoist who came from Kunlun Mountain. He has many people from the Three Mountains and Five Mountains under his command. I'm afraid I won't be able to defeat him."

Fa Jie heard this but did not take it seriously and said: "General Xu, please don't worry. I will also capture Jiang Ziya and let the general report his merits to the court." Xu Gai said: "If this can be the case, it is what you gave me, teacher." The greatest reward." Then he quickly asked Fa Jie: "Teacher, are you a vegetarian or a vegetarian?"

Fajie replied: "I am a vegetarian, but I don't want to eat anything right now." That night, Xu Gai arranged for Fajie to stay and passed safely.

On the next day, Fa Jie came directly to Zhou Ying with his sword in hand and asked Jiang Ziya by name to come out and answer. A messenger had already reported the news to the Chinese military tent, saying: "A Taoist asked the marshal to answer."

Ziya immediately issued an order and led many disciples out of the camp gate to meet this man. When I came to the formation, I saw that there was no soldier on the other side, but only this Taoist standing there. I couldn't help but ask: "What's your name, Taoist?"

Fa Jie replied: "I am a Qi refiner on Penglai Island. My surname is Fa and my name is Jie. Peng Zun was my apprentice, but he died at the hands of Lei Zhenzi. You just need to ask him to come to see me. Without you things, lest you and I turn against each other.”
