The fairy father

Driven by the two emperors, one turtle and one fairy, the Flying Black Turtle Sect developed smoothly.

Three or four months passed after Li Ping'an deceived several young shamans, and strange phenomena began to appear in the capital of the Shang Kingdom.

First, King Shang fell seriously ill, and the Great Witch Sacrifice kept praying to God to no avail. As soon as the new Great Wizard Sacrifice arrived at the gate of the palace, King Shang miraculously recovered.

‘Good’ was immediately recognized as the Great Witch Festival favored by the gods.

The King of Shang hosted a banquet in honor of 'Hao' and rewarded her family. The good family celebrated happily.

More than half a month later, a huge flash of light appeared in the northwest of the royal capital, and the people in the royal capital were shocked.

The next day, the soldiers who went out of the city to investigate reported that a large deep pit had appeared three hundred miles northwest of the royal capital. There was a dead turtle at the bottom of the pit. The turtle's body was like a clay sculpture and was invulnerable to weapons.

There are rumors circulating in the city that "the black turtle failed to ascend to the gods and may take revenge on the royal city".

The nine great wizards held discussions, and after half a day of discussion, it was decided that the new great wizard would pray to the gods and inquire about the giant turtle.

On this day, Xiao Nian, the newly promoted great witch priest, took a shower and changed clothes. He put on a black sacrificial robe that looked tattered but actually had a lot of elegance. He put on a ghost mask and climbed onto the sacrificial platform on the north side of the palace.

Li Ping'an, Qing Su, and Xuanyuan Huangdi hid in secret to investigate.

Turtle spirit?

The turtle spirit went away pretending to be a corpse.

Xuanyuan Huangdi asked: "What if the gods really come down?"

"I believe Uncle Spirit Master," Li Ping'an said with a smile, "Her ability to pretend to be a corpse is quite good."

Xuanyuan Huangdi couldn't help but smile.

Qingsu frowned and said: "Don't be careless. You have done something to Hao Xiaonian, and the gods may also notice it."

"Master, if we are careless, there is nothing else we can do now."

Li Ping'an looked at the fist-sized "Black Turtle Negative Stele" in his hand that had just been carved, and said with a smile:

"Wait a minute, these gods don't look very smart."

Xuanyuan Huangdi said: "The worst thing is to go to war directly. The long-term pain is not as good as the short-term pain."

As soon as he finished speaking, the rumble of drums sounded on the altar.

Hao Xiaonian danced the prayer dance expertly, while King Shang and a group of ministers stood on the wall of the palace and looked over.

Li Pingan was keenly aware of the power of heaven.

Different from the power of heaven that he directly controls now, this power of heaven is chaotic and disorderly, and there is no clear explanation of what order is.

"coming."

A large dark cloud appeared in the sky. The dark clouds rotated slowly, and a beam of divine light fell from the clouds, hitting Hao Xiaonian's body.

The next moment, Hao Xiaonian's body was suddenly shrouded in golden light, her figure elongated slightly, and she turned into a goddess in the golden light.

The golden skirt hangs down, the long light golden hair is soft and elegant, the beautiful and holy face is white and translucent, and a pair of slender palms that look like they are carved from white jade are held in front of her.

The goddess appeared. Except for King Shang, all the subjects, priests, and soldiers all knelt down. King Shang also bowed his head and held his hands in the ancient human ritual.

Emperor Xuanyuan's eyes lit up when he saw the goddess Linton.

Li Ping'an, however, did not care to appreciate the scene in front of him. He frowned and watched every move of this goddess, and was ready to retreat immediately.

Hao Xiaonian was transformed into a body by him, and his strength was equivalent to that of a body cultivator who had just established his foundation. This was quite different from ordinary people.

This is also Li Ping'an's test.

If the gods of Shenting can't even tell this, then he can be a little bolder in his next move.

The goddess's red lips opened and closed slightly and said: "I understand your doubts."

Afterwards, the goddess closed her eyes and meditated, seemingly looking for the answer to the 'mystery of the black turtle'.

Xuanyuan Huangdi whispered: "Do you think these gods have seven emotions and six desires?"

Li Ping'an: "Senior brother, please pay attention to the influence. Don't let me repair books and report to three thousand wives."

"Hey, I just asked casually, out of pure curiosity."

Xuanyuan Huangdi said seriously:

"You know my character."

Li Ping'an couldn't help but raise his hands to his forehead and secretly complained a few words in his heart.

Qingsu whispered: "Look, we have stumped this god."

The smooth brow of the goddess on the altar slowly frowned, and then she started to make calculations in front of everyone.

Xuanyuan Huangdi muttered: "Are they also making guesses?"

"It should have been influenced by the Qi Refiners from ancient times."

Li Pingan explained:

"Zhizhi generally uses the Eight Diagrams technique to deduce the changes in the way of heaven. The Juetian Formation has circled a nearly independent way of heaven in Nanzhou. The north and south way of heaven are essentially the same thing, but they are not interoperable with each other and will not interact with each other. Call upon the power of heaven.

"The way of heaven has not been divided into north and south since the end of ancient times. At that time, there should have been many imprints of Qi Refiners."

As he spoke, the goddess pinched her fingers faster and faster, and her brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

Soon, the goddess stopped moving her fingers and her eyes were a little stunned.

"I can't answer. The origin of this black turtle is extraordinary. It should have died due to failure in cultivation."

The goddess whispered, then closed her eyes, and golden light surged around her.

The next moment, the goddess turned into a beam of golden light and shot straight into the sky, leaving Hao Xiaonian standing quietly on the altar, falling unconscious.

A group of old wizards rushed onto the stage and carried Hao Xiaonian away.

The sacrifice was in vain, and the goddess's words of 'unable to answer' caused King Shang to fall into an inexplicable panic.

Xiao Nian slept for a day and a night before waking up. After waking up, his body did not change much. He clearly remembered all the details of the goddess borrowing his body.

Even Hao Xiaonian noticed that something was slightly wrong with these gods.

Compared with the 'King of God's Kind Thoughts' she had come into contact with before, this goddess was obviously duller and did not have too many mood swings.

This is nothing but evidence of what God King Shannian said, that the gods have problems because of their resentment towards humans and animals.

I was a little worried, but I didn't know what to do next.

Three days later, a piece of news detonated the royal capital.

The body of the black turtle in the deep pit northwest of the royal capital has disappeared!

Immediately afterwards, for more than half a month, the Shang King, the high priest, the ministers, and various clergy-related officials began to have nightmares.

The scene in the nightmare was exactly the same, a huge black turtle came from the south with floods all over the sky, flooding the entire Shang Kingdom, and the black turtle kept roaring in the waves.

If it were just a nightmare, in the past half month, the water level of the rivers in the merchant country has been rising continuously. Although it has not yet caused a flood disaster, it has frightened these merchants.

In the royal capital, everyone from the nobles to the common people were panicked;

Those slaves who only knew how to work every day fell into panic because of this incident.

Li Ping'an seized the right opportunity and pushed the plan to the second stage.

That night, King Shang took two soothing pills of unknown material that the shaman priest rubbed out with his bare hands. He lay on the bed and kept chanting softly, and gradually fell asleep.

The maids kneeling beside the bed were all trembling with fear, waiting for King Shang to be awakened by his nightmare.

Slight snoring soon came from the bed, and the maids subconsciously looked at each other, mostly in surprise.

Is the king sleeping?

In the middle of the night, Prince Shang slowly sat up with his forehead in hand, and anxiously summoned the ministers and the nine great witch priests to his palace.

Before everyone had arrived, King Shang sighed softly and recounted what he had seen and heard in his dream tonight:

"Everyone, a disaster is coming.

"The black turtle that has been causing trouble recently is the reincarnation of the ancient ancestor Xuanyuan Huangdi. Emperor Xuanyuan was originally the reincarnation of the ancient black turtle. You should have heard about this from ancient books.

"Everyone should know the story of Nuwa patching up the sky. In ancient times, Buzhou Mountain collapsed, the sky toppled and the earth toppled, a hole was opened in the sky, the boundless water of the Milky Way rolled down, all life was wiped out, and the earth turned into a swamp.

"The Virgin Mother Nuwa killed the big black turtle in the far north and used its four legs to support the sky. The turtle was carefree and refused to die in peace. The Virgin Mother felt guilty, so she reincarnated the turtle and became Xuanyuan Huangdi. , since ancient times, it has opened up territory for the human race and has been worshiped by the human race for generations.

"After Huangdi Xuanyuan ascended to heaven, he felt that life was boring, so he turned into a black turtle and rebuilt himself.

"The black turtle has been sleeping underground, absorbing the spiritual power of the earth to practice. He was supposed to ascend to immortality again, but he was disturbed by the resentment of living creatures.

"The flash of light seen in the northwest that night was caused by the Black Turtle's failure to ascend to heaven!"

"ah?"

The ministers were panicked, and the witch priests were at a loss.

But the four figures hiding in the corner of King Shang's chamber were all laughing together.

Qingsu leaned against the wall with her hands behind her hands, with a smile that couldn't go away;

Gui Lingling hugged her feet and leaned forward and back with a smile.

Xuanyuan Huangdi clenched Li Pingan's neck viciously and shook it back and forth.

"You brat! That's how you arranged for me to be the emperor! Good guy! I was wondering why you were so secretive when you went to tell the King of Shang a dream. Aren't you afraid that my ministers will tear you apart!"

"Wrong...Senior brother, please spare your life...otherwise we can't explain why it's called the Flying Black Turtle Sect..."

"Won't you change your name?"

"We didn't decide on the name first...cough, cough! Senior brother, please listen."

Xuanyuan Huangdi let go of Li Pingan's neck, and the latter quickly hid from his master.

Just listen to that Shang Wangzilian continue:

"Xuangui said it was the resentment of living beings that interfered with his practice, so it wanted to blame our country of Shang.

"But it is the reincarnation of Emperor Xuanyuan and has a deep friendship with the human race. As long as we do two things, he will give us a chance to change our ways."

"Your Majesty, what two things are there?"

King Shang said: "Xuan Gui is angry. Now our Shang Kingdom only offers sacrifices to ancestors and other gods, but has neglected to worship Nuwa, the Holy Mother who created our human race. We should build more temples for Nuwa."

The ministers hurriedly said: "This should be done."

An old great witch priest said: "Your Majesty, you should ask the gods about this matter."

King Shang asked: "Who is superior, the gods or the Holy Mother?"

The great witch priests suddenly didn’t know how to answer.

Hao Xiaonian bowed and said: "Your Majesty, it should be the Holy Mother, but the Holy Mother has not appeared for a long time."

King Shang said: "Then build a big temple of Our Lady outside the royal capital city, and build a temple of Our Lady in each of our malls."

A princess on the side said something: "Your Majesty, Xuangui respects the Holy Mother, why not set up a statue of Xuangui in the Notre Dame Temple and worship together to calm down his anger."

"What my beloved concubine said is true," King Shang nodded repeatedly, "Hurry up and don't neglect this matter. There is also a second thing."

The ministers and the great witch priests held their breaths and concentrated.

The King of Shang showed hesitation and said slowly: "The resentment of creatures mentioned by Xuan Gui comes from the human sacrifices killed in every sacrifice in our Shang Kingdom. Do the high priests think that there should be fewer human sacrifices?"

The expressions of several great shaman priests changed upon hearing this, and they immediately spoke:

"Your Majesty! The laws of our ancestors cannot be abolished!"

"If we don't use human animals as sacrifices, our ancestors will have no motivation from the God Realm, and I'm afraid there will be even greater punishments!"

"Tang Zu set himself on fire to relieve the severe drought in the world. After that, the Shang Kingdom enjoyed good weather. Please put your ancestors' inheritance first and consider committing suicide!"

King Shang glared angrily, but did not dare to get angry. He just said: "Build a temple for Nuwa first and add a black turtle statue. When the temple is built, I will lead my subjects to worship in person. Go down!"

All the ministers and great witch priests bowed their heads in salute and then retreated.

When there was no movement in the dark hall, King Shang grabbed a lamp on the side and smashed it on the ground. He snorted coldly and turned over to lie on his side.

in the corner.

Li Pingan and Xuanyuan Huangdi looked at each other and each showed a little smile.

They could see that the Great Witch Sacrifice had the divine power to communicate with the Divine Court and did not have much respect for King Shang.

"It's a pity," Li Ping'an sighed, "I originally thought of stopping the human sacrifices directly, or reducing some human casualties, but I didn't expect it."

Xuanyuan Huangdi asked: "What should we do next?"

"Wait until the Nuwa Temple is built before we start trouble," Li Ping'an said. "Senior Brother, go control the most arrogant Great Witch Festival just now. Do it in a secret way so that the gods don't notice anything strange. I'll find a good little nian to ask for my dream."

Qingsu asked: "What are Lingling and me doing?"

"Master and uncle, you go to Shang State to investigate. Make a map and mark all the countries and princes as much as possible to see who the enemies of Shang State are."

Li Pingan said seriously:

"We are prepared for everything. If the Flying Black Turtle Sect fails, then we will use another method."

"What method?"

"Fighting merchants," Li Ping'an said with a hint of war in his eyes, "overthrew this order, reestablished order, abolished human sacrifice, and promoted ethics."

Xuanyuan Huangdi smiled and said: "Your Majesty, Emperor of Heaven, why do I always feel that this is your real plan?"

"Isn't the time immature? I have other plans later," Li Ping'an shook his head, "I'm going to ask for my dream first, so please be careful."

Qing Su and Gui Ling agreed.

Xuanyuan Huangdi looked at the mosquito that Li Ping'an had transformed into, his eyes thoughtful.

"Let's try our best to make this Flying Black Turtle Sect a success," Huangdi Xuanyuan said. "With the war, all life will be devastated. If someone as big as Nanzhou wants to overthrow the Shang Kingdom, I don't know how many people will die."

Qing Su said: "Aren't the merchants responsible for the sacrifices committed by the Shang people?"

"Qingsu Immortal is wrong," Xuanyuan Huangdi said. "The responsibility for human sacrifice does not lie with the merchants but with these princes and nobles. It lies with this small group of people who have mastered the royal and divine power. They can obviously If you don’t do this, you must use it to intimidate living beings, please the gods, and promote your own authority.”

Qing Su nodded slightly, said nothing, and ran away with Guiling.

Xuanyuan Huangdi looked at the Shang King with disappointment in his eyes.

"How did the position of Human Emperor that I inherited from Nanzhou end up in the hands of such a waste? How many soldiers and horses does the Great Witch Festival have? Anyone who disobeys the king's orders will be struck down by heaven. This is the Human Emperor."

…

Li Pingan quietly sneaked to the high-rise building where Hao Xiaonian lived, and found Hao Xiaonian kneeling in front of a portrait, praying softly.

Just as Li Ping'an was about to move forward, the portrait fluttered gently, and faint golden light gathered from all directions, condensing into a faint figure.

oh?

The golden-haired goddess that Brother Xuanyuan had his eye on before?

The mosquito transformed into Li Ping'an was lying by the window, listening to the exchange between the Great Witch Festival and the goddess, and his mind was spinning slightly.

It seems that gods and other things cannot be fooled...
