I, the younger brother of King Zhou, lead the Taoist ancestors to do business

In late May, the weather was getting hotter. Seeing that the queen's belly was getting bigger day by day, the palace physicians were very nervous.They have already prepared the tools, and there are people waiting in the palace all the time.

Although the queen is ambitious, she is very sensible.

She knew what this child in her belly meant to her and to Yin Shang, not to mention that she really liked this child.

So she could only put aside the matters in hand for the time being, and returned to the palace to wait for the birth of the child.For the time being, Concubine Huang Gui will help her pass on messages and take care of affairs.

Zisheng was dealing with official business, and Zishou was beside him.At this time, a doctor came to the hall holding an elegant brocade box.

Zisheng cast his gaze away, and Zishou secretly put a stack of memorials on his desk on Zisheng's desk while Zisheng was not paying attention, and seemingly casually took Zisheng's official memorial to cover it.

Zisheng glanced down, the stack of memorials had changed from one inch high to five inches high.

Zisheng: ...

After the doctor carefully opened the brocade box, he lowered his head and held the brocade box over his head.

He said cautiously: "Your Majesty, this is a 5000-year-old ginseng hidden in the palace. The queen may not be able to use her strength when she gives birth to a child. I will cut it into pieces and let the empress hold it in her mouth. This will also give her strength."

Zishou responded, suddenly he seemed to have thought of something, raised his eyelids to look at the doctor and asked, "You said that when the queen gives birth, it doesn't hurt, wouldn't it be more powerful?"

The doctor thought for a while after hearing the words, and then replied: "No, sometimes it is because of the pain that you can exert more strength."

Zishou closed his eyes, he waved the doctor to leave, and continued to process the memorial by himself.

It's just that his speed of processing the memorial slowed down significantly, and he paused from time to time, as if he was thinking about something.

-

Chentang Pass.

A few days ago, Nezha had been changing the seeds for Yin Shang. Although he was here to accompany Ao Bing, Li Jing's attitude eased a lot after knowing it.

Later, he sometimes came home late after playing, but as long as he said that he was with Ao Bing, his father would not pursue it, but just reprimanded him a few times for not coming home late.

Gradually, Nezha discovered his father's attitude.At night, he took advantage of the candlelight and lay down in front of his father's desk and asked softly, "As long as I help Yin Shang, will dad like me?"

Li Jing's heart softened for a moment, his hand holding the pen tightened, and he sighed: "Yes."

A smile appeared on Nezha's face, but Li Jing's heart tightened, and his tone returned to the usual, "I prefer my son who is clear in heart."

Nezha was stunned, he was a little overwhelmed by Li Jing's words, but he didn't notice the worry hidden in Li Jing's serious tone.

On the second day, Nezha ran out to play with Ao Bing again.

Li Jing kept looking at Nezha's back from the corner of his eyes, until Nezha left his sight, Li Jing looked away silently.

Nezha likes to ask Ao Bing when he has any doubts. He asked Ao Bing what is "Son of Qingming"?

Ao Bing was used to the world not waiting to see Yin Shang. Seeing that Li Jing didn't insist on letting his son help Yin Shang, he frowned for a moment, and then he didn't have any different attitude towards Li Jing.

He thought of the people's praise for Li Zongbing, and he could roughly understand Li Zongbing's thoughts.

He sat on the beach, his body was about the same height as Nezha when he was standing.

Hearing the sound of the waves hitting each other, he said: "No matter Yin Shang Xiqi, your father hopes that you will stand on the side of integrity. In your father's heart, Yin Shang is upright..."

Ao Bing turned his head to look at Nezha's big but dim eyes, and asked, "In your heart, who is right?"

Nezha hesitated for a while, his eyes flickered, his lips squirmed and he didn't answer.

Ao Bing sighed, he touched Nezha's head, and pressed the other's head against his chest, but he didn't look at Nezha's expression.

He hesitated for a while, closed his eyes and said slowly; "At least in your heart, Xiqi is righteous. I often lean on the shore and see a burst of light coming from the sky to Li's residence. He should come for you..."

Ao Bing wanted to say that the other party had also taken a fancy to Li Jing and even the whole Chentangguan, but he stopped in time, he didn't want to burden the child too much.

Nezha struggled for a long time, he raised his head, his nose seemed to be blocked and his voice was broken, "Yin Shang is upright, it is countless times better than Xi Qi, Master has been lying to me."

Ao Bing had known for a long time that Daoist Taiyi was trying to brainwash him. Seeing that Nezha had tears in his eyes, he reached out to help Nezha wipe away the tears.

"Don't cry, you can't say these words in front of your master. He is powerful, and Chaoge probably has only one person who can hold him back. Otherwise... otherwise your father won't let you go."

Nezha's expression froze for a moment, he shook his head, and said incredulously, "Master...how could Master treat me like this? To my father?"

He opened his mouth, his voice became hoarse, his eyes were red, and big teardrops kept rolling down.

Ao Bing wanted to persuade him again, but Nezha ran away.

He is a little weak, don't think the other party is a child, in terms of magic power, he can't compare to the other party.

Nezha has complicated feelings towards his father. Most of the time he doesn't like Li Jing, but sometimes he can't help but get close to him, hoping to gain his love.

In the past, he would lie down on their bed and sleep with his mother like revenge. Because the bed was small, the three of them were a little crowded when they slept. His father might have to be squeezed away because he was afraid of the heat.

But today, he didn't want to see his father.

He curled up in a corner of a dark room, and the sound of mice gnawing could be heard in his ears.He curled up even tighter, it was obviously very cold, but he didn't want to go out.

At this time, Ao Bingfei went to Li's mansion to inform Li Jing about Nezha.

Li Jing fell into silence after hearing this, and when he turned around, his waist was not as straight as before.

Nezha fell asleep and was carried away by a firm embrace. When he woke up the next day, there were only him and his mother on the bed.

Mrs. Yin hesitated for a while. According to the tacit understanding between her and Li Jing in the past, she should have said that she found Nezha by herself.But today—

She lowered her eyes and touched Nezha's head, and said softly, "It was your father who brought you back."

Nezha raised his head, his lips moved, and a smile appeared in his eyes again.

He seemed relaxed and said, "Understood, mother."

Nezha waited at home for two days, and finally waited for Daoist Taiyi.

He is no longer as eager as before, but has serious eyes and a firm tone and asks the other party: "Master has been lying to me, and what Master told me is all falsehoods! Yin Shang is right..."

Nezha turned up his volume. After he finished speaking, he bit his lip, and his eyes were slightly red.

Although Master Taiyi was a little surprised to see Nezha's expression like this, everything was within his expectations.

He sighed, "Indeed, with the little king of Yin Shang, Xiqi's governance is indeed not as good as that of Yin Shang."

He pulled Nezha to comfort him, and the emotion in his eyes was not fake.

"It's not wrong for me to teach you to punish rape and eliminate evil. Only this time, Master lied to you."

"Master, why do you..."

Taiyi real person said: "Nezha, Master has practiced for hundreds of thousands of years... In addition to Master, there are also your uncles, uncles and brothers. Do you know what will happen to us if Xiqi loses?"

Nezha paused, and Taiyi Daoist said: "People who die can enter the list of gods, but if there are not enough people, the loser will be picked out to fill the list. At that time, 10 or even a million years of cultivation will fall short, and the soul will always be with the gods." Yin, will be driven by the Heavenly Court for tens of thousands of years from now on..."

Nezha shook his head, and then his expression shook, "Then my parents..."

Master Taiyi: "Your mother is fine, but your father is a general of Yin Shang, and I'm afraid he will also be on the list of gods."

"Ao Bing..." Nezha murmured.

Master Taiyi frowned, "You mean the little dragon in the East China Sea?"

Seeing that Nezha and Ao Bing were so close, he felt cold, "Oh, this is bad."

Nezha raised his head, Taiyi Daoist shook his head helplessly and said: "You and him are doomed to each other, he may wish you to sever mortal ties, and may also wish you cultivation base..."

Nezha has received too much in the past two days, and his heart has been overwhelmed by complexity.

"No matter which side I help, will someone want to be included in the list of gods?"

His shoulders were pinned, and Master Taiyi said seriously: "No, no matter right or wrong, you must help Xiqi."

"Master...", the rest of the words were stuck in his throat.

Seeing that Nezha's eyes were still like stars, the strength in Taiyi's hands unconsciously weakened.

His tone softened, his eyes closed, and there was pleading in his voice.

"Nezha, you are transformed from Chanjiao's most precious spirit beads. Chanjiao encountered a catastrophe, and you were born in response to the catastrophe. Your destiny was born to help Xiqi, to help King Wu...to help Xibohou crusade against Emperor Xin."

"But... Yin Shang is not wrong."

"But you are a spirit bead."

Nezha hasn't been sad or smiling these days, Mrs. Yin's heart aches when she sees Nezha like this.

She took Nezha to wander the streets and alleys, begging other children to play with him.

Nezha refused, he no longer likes to have fun.

At night, he asked Li Jing earnestly, "Father, if the Yin Shang did evil, would you still be so loyal?"

Li Jing knew that Nezha had a complicated heart, so he put down the pen for the first time, turned around and looked at Nezha seriously.

Nezha was not used to seeing his father's attitude like this.

Li Jing said calmly, "Do you know what I was thinking on the day you were born?"

Nezha froze for a moment, then shook his head again.

Li Jing looked out the window at the dark night, just as the strong wind was blowing the branches, and instantly, heavy rain poured down.

"It rained heavily when you were born, and the water in Chentangguan nearly flooded the crops. It has been seven or eight years, and Chentangguan has been hit by disasters year after year. The people don't have enough to eat or wear warm clothes, and countless familiar people disappear in the village every year. In front of me. At that time...for my father...thought...if I didn't want to vote for Xiqi, that's all."

Nezha never thought that a man as loyal as his father would have the thought of rebellion.

Li Jing got up and stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, "In the past, Xiqi was upright, and he was torn between loyalty and justice for his father. Fortunately, the new emperor and Xiaowang are sincerely thinking about the people, and they are also capable. It is not necessary to be a father now." I have made a decision, as my father, I was born as a Yin Shang man, and when I die, I am a Yin Shang ghost, even if my soul does not reincarnate and suffer all kinds of torture after death, I will have no regrets."

Rainwater dripped down the eaves onto the window sills.

There is a vat of lotus flowers in the courtyard, and the lotus flowers are in full bloom.Nezha quietly watched the rain wash the lotus, and the chaos in his heart was smoothed out.

A few days later, Master Taiyi asked his crane to deliver a message for Nezha.

Daoist Taiyi told him that he had found a new catastrophe for him.At that time, he will still take off his body, and Master will make a new body for him.

Nezha was sitting on the beach with his face in his hands in a daze. Seeing someone come ashore, he said, "On the one hand, it is my mission, and the reason I was born. On the other hand, it is righteousness, my parents, and..." They are my best friends.

He raised his head, looked at Ao Bing with a smile in his eyes, "I shouldn't be born into the world, I wish to be a spiritual pearl for teaching forever, without spiritual wisdom."

Ao Bing also felt uncomfortable when he heard that. He hugged Nezha, and Nezha said: "In a few days, my calamity will come. Master said, I can get through it."
