Primordial: Yunmeng Snake

At Sanshan Pass, Kong Xuan frowned slightly, looking at the invisible destiny of the Shang Dynasty. He saw that Xuanniao was in a miserable state and covered with wounds.

"Strange, I came to the Shang Dynasty because this place is predestined for me, and I hope that the country's fortune can help me practice."

"But there has been no disturbance in Da Shang in recent days, and the monsters in the North Sea have been steadily eliminated under the attack of Master Wen. Logically speaking, Da Shang's fortune should continue to develop vigorously."

"Why would this Heavenly Fate Black Bird be damaged to this extent for no reason?"

Feeling the vague restraint on his body, and the malice as if the entire world was inflicting upon him, Kong Xuan sighed helplessly.

Back then, he and his brother woke up in a land where the five elements were strong but yin and yang were weak, and he began to walk in the wilderness.

Guided by his instinct, he constantly pushed himself toward perfection and embarked on the path of Shinto practice.

Kong Xuan had many guesses about his origins, especially when the Phoenix Clan came into the world and found him, Kong Xuan became more and more certain.

But after some hesitation, Kong Xuan finally did not choose to become the new leader of the Phoenix Clan and returned to the Immortal Volcano in the southern continent.

For Kong Xuan, there was not much worth caring about in that empty identity.

He might respect that so-called mother, but it would be hard for him to love her. Even for that mother whom he had never met, Kong Xuan felt more pity.

What exactly happened back then? Kong Xuan already knew it from the Phoenix people, and he did not blame Yuan Huang.

But, he has no emotions, after all, he has no emotions. Because of the grace of giving birth to him, he will take care of the only remaining members of the Phoenix clan.

But Kong Xuan didn't want to carry a huge burden on himself.

Even for Kong Xuan, his feelings and causality towards Phoenix Bamboo are much inferior to those of Da Shang.

After all, Kong Xuan really relied on the national destiny of the Shang Dynasty to practice, and he even had many contacts with the Xuanniao of Heaven's Mandate.

Feeling the aura of disaster permeating between heaven and earth, they were involved in cause and effect and karma, and gradually tied the people involved to the chariot of the Shang Dynasty.

Kong Xuan looked at the gradually darkening sky outside the window and sighed:

"It is a troubled time."

He walked out of the house slowly, and the servants behind him hurriedly chased out, put a cloak on Kong Xuan, and asked with concern in their eyes:

"Sir, the sky is getting dark and the night is coming. What is there to worry about? Why not do it tomorrow?"

Kong Xuan shook his head and gently adjusted the position of his cloak with his hands. Although these servants were just mortals, they were indeed sincere to him.

"Nothing, I just feel depressed right now and want to go out for a walk."

"The weather is getting colder now, so you don't have to do this. No one will come to visit you later, so you can go back to your room and sleep."

In response to Kong Xuan's concern, the servant smiled and refused:

"I thank you for your concern, but since I am the emperor's employee, I must be loyal to you. It's just a little cold, but it doesn't matter."

"I also know that you are very capable. After midnight, there will inevitably be monsters running into the city. You should be more careful."

Kong Xuan just pressed it lightly and then walked into the night.

But in the whole Shang Dynasty, news suddenly spread across the border.

King Wen dreamed that the sun and the moon were on his body, and a cuckoo was singing in Mount Qi. In the sixtieth day of the first lunar month, the five latitudes gathered in Fang. A phoenix held a letter and visited the capital of Qi.

The rumor of Fengming Qishan was widely discussed among the human race for a while.

After changing out of his dusty clothes and sitting alone in the study, Kong Xuan once again looked at the chaotic heavenly secrets and sighed:

"I have done my best in everything. The rest is up to fate. I just hope that the king and the Grand Master can turn the tide in the remaining step."

After saying that, Kong Xuan casually picked up a book and began to read it quietly in the study.

He has done what he can, and the rest depends on how the King of Shang responds.

As for the karma he owes now, he only needs to wait for the catastrophe to begin and take action for the Shang Dynasty, and then both sides will be safe.

At this time, the city of Chaoge was still prosperous, as if the rumors that were widely spread throughout the world had not caused any impact on this place.

As people living in the royal capital, their ancestors have lived in Chaoge for generations, and they are full of absolute confidence in the Shang Dynasty.

This is where the human race’s royal court is located. No gods, demons, or monsters in the world can harm them here.

This is the confidence brought to them by the successive Shang monarchs since the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. The peace and beauty that have come from generation to generation have also made them full of loyalty to this country.

"What Fengming Qishan? It's just a marquisate in the west. If the king gives an order, shouldn't he come and apologize?"

A vendor selling salted fish was having a lively discussion with the vendors around him. The prince who had rushed over a few days ago had caused them to watch the excitement for a while.

"Yes, in today's Shang Dynasty, there are virtuous ministers like Master Wen and Uncle Bigan, and a wise ruler like the king. The story of the Phoenix singing in Mount Qishan is just a rumor."

Everyone was talking about it in the market, but at this moment in the capital hall, King Ji Chang of Xibo was kneeling in the hall, sweating profusely.

"My dear minister, there have been many rumors circulating in the court recently. I wonder if you have any rebuttal to them?"

King Di Xin of Shang sat high on the dragon throne, his majestic aura covering the hall. The majesty of the Emperor made Ji Chang, the Marquis of Xibo, who was sitting below, almost tremble.

Recalling the news that had been spreading in recent days, King Ji Chang of Xibo was almost gnashing his teeth in hatred. He didn't know who had leaked the news.

Feeling the gaze from King Di Xin of Shang above, the tremendous pressure almost made it impossible for him to maintain his body shape.

But King Ji Chang of Xibo understood very well that he had to withstand this pressure at the moment, otherwise everything would be just a passing cloud.

"Reporting to the king, all of this is nothing but a rumor spread by the traitors, a means to alienate the friendship between you and me."

"Don't say that this is a fabrication. Even if there really was a phoenix singing, it should have been singing for the king and for Chaoge."

King Di Xin of Shang just looked at King Ji Chang of Xibo quietly for a moment, watching the cold sweat dripping down his body, but he did not speak a word to confirm it.

When Emperor Xin saw Ji Chang's miserable appearance, he knew the truth of the matter and became furious.

But this person is a feudal lord after all. Without any evidence, even he would not easily execute a prince.

What's more, the person in front of him is Ji Chang, the Duke of Xibo, who is famous throughout the country and among thousands of princes.

Just when Xibohou Jichang was almost unable to resist and thought that the other party would kill him, King Di Xin of Shang slowly spoke:

"I hope so. Of course, it would be best if it were so. That's the only way."

"The heavens are in chaos now. I have heard that Xibo Hou is the best at understanding the heavens. How about you stay in this capital and calculate the heavens for me?"

King Di Xin of Shang flicked his sleeves and walked out of the hall, leaving no room for King Ji Chang of Xibo to refute.

After King Di Xin of Shang left, King Ji Chang of Xibo slowly collapsed to the ground, feeling that he had survived a calamity.

Although he was imprisoned in the capital, at least his life would be safe for the short term.

Thinking of this, Xibohou Jichang slowly breathed a sigh of relief, then bowed loudly to the high seat in the empty hall and said:

"Your Highness Ji Chang is following your orders."

On the other hand, King Di Xin of Shang did begin to receive another feudal lord, who was Beibo Hou, also the king of Chongcheng, Chonghouhu.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Beibo Hou Chonghouhu was all smiles at this moment. Seeing King Di Xin of Shang coming, he hurriedly and respectfully helped him to his seat.

"Your Majesty, Xibohou Jichang is a man of deep thoughts, hypocritical, good at deceiving, and good at winning people's hearts. I'm afraid he cannot be kept in the capital."

"If we allow them to roam the capital and the court, I'm afraid chaos will inevitably arise."

"Not only will it lead all the ministers to persuade you to let him go, but it may also sow discord between you and your ministers, causing them to harbor ulterior motives!"

King Di Xin of Shang frowned when he heard this.

Ji Chang, the Duke of Xibo, is indeed good at winning the hearts of the people and enjoys prestige among the dukes. This matter must be guarded against.

King Di Xin of Shang was not worried about the fact that he would alienate his ministers and make them disloyal.

But if they could persuade him to let this person go, this would be very possible.

King Di Xin of Shang looked at Chong Hou Hu, the Marquis of Beibo, and said:

"The loyalty of my subjects is naturally beyond doubt, but Ji Chang is good at talking, and I must be on guard against what you say."

"But since it was you who proposed this matter, what do you think about it?"

Beibohou Chonghouhu's eyes immediately lit up, and he quickly stood up and said:

"Reporting to the king, I still remember that there is a place called Youli in Chaoge. It was once the place where the previous king retired to practice. It is isolated from human habitation and ordinary people cannot go there."

"Your Majesty, you may as well place Xibohou Jichang here. No matter how eloquent he is, he will not be able to stir up trouble or contact the outside world."

Beibo Hou Chonghouhu flattered the king for a year, but his words made King Di Xin of Shang very satisfied.

Youli is a secret place, isolated from the secrets of heaven, and outsiders are not allowed to explore it.

If King Ji Chang of the Western Zhou Dynasty were to live here, it would be a good choice.

"good!"

When Beibo Hou Chonghouhu saw that King Di Xin of Shang agreed, he was overjoyed. He had many conflicts with Xibo Hou Jichang, and today he finally got what he wanted.

When King Ji Chang of Xibo is trapped in Youli and cannot contact the outside world, who in the entire Xiqi area can compete with him?

After Beibo Hou Chonghouhu got what he wanted, he immediately said goodbye to Shang King Di Xin. Seeing his anxiety, Shang King Di Xin gave up the idea of ​​keeping him at the banquet and waved his hand, letting him leave.

On the other side, King Ji Chang of Xibo also entered Youli under the arrangement of his servants.

The moment he stepped into this place, King Ji Chang of the Western Zhou Dynasty felt a sudden shock in his heart, and he understood where this place was.

Pushing open the doors and windows, faint sunlight poured into the room. What I saw was quite luxurious, with silk and animal skins covering the floor. It was such a lavish scene.

But when the doors and windows were closed, the entire room suddenly fell into darkness, as if night had fallen.

Looking up from the skylight on top, King Ji Chang of Xibo could even see the intoxicating night sky, with the moon bright and the stars sparse, which must be a good day.

King Ji Chang of Xibo was helpless. After letting out a long sigh, he quietly found a cushion and sat cross-legged on it.

This place is where the ancient kings practiced cultivation, and it can also be called a place for quiet cultivation.

King Ji Chang of Xibo showed a wry smile on his face and immersed himself in spiritual practice, but his mind could not calm down.

King Di Xin of Shang simply imprisoned him here, but treated him badly in terms of food and accommodation. He was provided with seven tripods and six gui, and two meals a day, without missing a thing.

At this moment in Xiqi, the entire court was in chaos because King Ji Chang of Xibo had not returned for a long time.

His eldest son Bo Yikao also stepped forward during this period and joined forces with his father's many sons and adopted sons to maintain the operation of the entire country.

Although they were young, they were extremely capable. Not only did Xiqi avoid unrest, they also prevented Beibohou Chonghouhu from making trouble everywhere.

Even the entire Xiqi was united because of the departure of Xibohou Jichang, and the entire court was working hard to welcome back Xibohou Jichang.

Every year, the eldest son Bo Yikao would bring the treasures collected from Xiqi to Chaoge, trying to exchange his father back.

Unfortunately, every time, what awaited the entire Xiqi and Bo Yikao was only the rejection from King Di Xin of Shang.

During this period, Bo Yikao had never even seen his father.

At Chentang Pass in Da Shang, Li Jing looked hurried and ran around the mansion eagerly.

His heart was filled with anticipation and nervousness; his wife had been pregnant for three years and now, finally, there were signs that she was about to give birth.

I don’t know why, but the first two children were fine and there were no abnormalities from pregnancy to delivery.

But when it came to the third child, something strange happened. His wife had been pregnant for three years but still couldn't give birth, which was really strange.

Fortunately, he had practiced cultivation outside Kunlun Mountain and could be considered knowledgeable. If he were an ordinary mortal, he would have been unable to resist and killed him long ago.

Just when Li Jing was tense, he suddenly heard a scream from his wife's delivery room, followed by a sound of collapse, which made Li Jing's heart suddenly palpitate. (End of this chapter)
