The fairy father

When Qing Su rushed to the underworld, Li Ping'an protected her secretly for a while.

Anyway, it’s the same way.

He stared at the beautiful figure of his master, and some random thoughts emerged in his heart; thinking of the murder in the Xuanwu world, he became a little angry.

Li Ping'an naturally knows that there are always evil people in the world, and tragedies like this will always happen.

What annoyed Li Ping'an the most was that the mechanism of Heaven seemed to be broken.

This is the newly built heaven!

Just because we have absorbed the old forces of the human race, do we have this common problem?

Then just clean it from top to bottom!

Queen Mother Yaochi continues to tighten the rules of the sky. In the hundreds of years since he retreated, more than 1,900 new rules and regulations have been added. But can these rules really go out of the main world?

It would be ridiculous to say that the Heavenly Palace is newly built and everything has just started. The Heavenly Palace now controls 70% of the land between heaven and earth!

The root cause of this tragedy, to put it bluntly, is that there is something bad within Heaven!

The worse the heaven is, the worse it will be outside!

This sect's murder case is a ready starting point.

Li Ping'an has decided to make this matter a big deal to see how many tigers can be shaken out.

After watching Qing Su fly into the underworld, Li Ping'an glanced at Fengdu City from a distance, and his mood recovered a lot.

In the past few hundred years, the development of the underworld has not been slow.

——Most of the creatures in heaven and earth will be brought here by heaven after death. The number of ghosts is countless. As long as construction and labor are used as a way of punishment and atonement, no matter how big the city is, it can be built quickly.

Compared to the scenery in Fengdu City, Li Ping'an wanted to see Dong'an City.

Dong'an City was built by Lao Li for hundreds of years, and it has become a veritable cultural and economic center in ancient times, and it is also the place where Wuling Art flourishes most.

It's just a pity that there is no rush to see the man-made wonders...

"It's important to do business first."

Li Pingan turned around and rushed to the Notre Dame Palace.

When he was in seclusion in Xuandu City, he had a general understanding of the changes in the world, and Ziyao would also report all the major events that happened in each period of time.

But Nanzhou has always been out of Li Ping'an's sight.

Heavenly Court only roughly knows that Nanzhou is generally stable and there are no major disasters, so it does not take too much care of Nanzhou on weekdays; even if Heavenly Court wants to take care of it, Minister Zuo will not easily let Heavenly Court immortal officials enter Nanzhou without Li Ping'an coming forward.

The Taoist tribulation will come as soon as it is said to come;

Nanzhou is also the main stage for the Taoist Immortal and the Great Tribulation of the Gods. When it comes to the Great Tribulation of the Gods, there will inevitably be King Wu's defeat of Zhou.

Whether the world can reach perfection or not, the Great Tribulation of the Gods is crucial. This is the most important thing that Li Ping'an must face now.

Therefore, what Li Ping'an said about making arrangements was actually to go to Nanzhou and plant some seeds.

He concealed his traces and quietly arrived at the Palace of Our Lady.

Just because he can't break through the Juetian Formation doesn't mean that he can't break through the Protective Formation of the Holy Mother Palace.

Li Ping'an did not alert the left servant, and slipped into the palace of Nuwa Empress as if there was no one around. He got into the closet with familiarity and found the vortex that entered Nanzhou.

He lowered his head and got into it, and his figure was moved to Nanzhou.

After hundreds of years of wind and frost, the world has changed.

The original small courtyard had become a desert. When Li Ping'an stood up from the yellow sand, he saw broken walls and ruins. Farther away, he could see a new city standing in a desert oasis.

His immortal consciousness spread and he breathed a sigh of relief.

He thought that due to the population explosion and excessive deforestation, large areas of Nanzhou had become desertified. Immortal consciousness had spread tens of thousands of miles, only to find that the landforms had not changed much. Only a small area had long stretches of yellow sand, and a small area had transformed into Got Wang Ze.

It seems that the precipitation distribution has changed.

"Human sacrifices are rare. This place must be a vassal state of the Shang Kingdom. It has been changed to cattle and sheep sacrifices, which is very good." ’

Li Pingan suddenly felt that his previous efforts to become the Black Turtle Master were quite meaningful.

Then, Li Ping'an took a step forward, and the boundless land quickly passed under him. In the blink of an eye, he had arrived at the center of Nanzhou, the new capital of the Shang Kingdom, Chaoge, which was more prosperous and larger, and the outer city spread hundreds of miles.

Businessmen seem to like moving the capital.

Li Ping'an thought so, the smile on his lips quickly dissipated, he frowned and looked at the city below, and towards the bustling place on the east side of the palace.

Human sacrifice.

Many people died.

Just at a glance, there were thousands of human sacrifices, either locked in cages or hung on high poles.

A strong man holding a butcher's knife, wearing a high crown and a robe, was sharpening the knife there, preparing enough materials for the next sacrifice.

Outside the high platform where humans and animals are slaughtered is a busy market.

Pedestrians turned a blind eye to this.

There are also some common people and nobles who come from far away to Chaoge to watch the slaughtering place on the east side of the royal city. Many of them will be teased by their companions for vomiting with their heads down.

Li Ping'an's face turned black.

He frowned and concentrated, his body flashed continuously, and he had visited most of Nanzhou in a moment.

The good news is that human sacrifices have been discontinued in most areas, and the scale of human sacrifices has been reduced by 80% compared to before he intervened in Nanzhou.

The bad news is that in important areas of the Shang Kingdom represented by Chaoge City, human sacrifices are still continuing.

In the past six hundred years, I don’t know how many people have been sacrificed!

Li Ping'an was about to attack the Divine Court immediately, pull off the Divine King's head and ask him why he was still doing this now when he had urged Nanzhou to gradually eliminate human sacrifices in every possible way!

But he quickly suppressed his anger and narrowed his eyes slightly.

It won't help if he goes to the Divine Court now.

The merchant is seeking his own death;

Then don't blame him for manipulating all sentient beings.

Just as Li Ping'an was about to leave, his mind moved slightly and he looked towards the Shang Palace. There seemed to be something related to him there.

He frowned slightly, touched his sleeves, and fell towards the palace.

The scale of the palace is much larger than before, with many new high-rise halls. The original nine towers on the other side of the palace have been demolished and converted into a sacrificial platform. The sacrificial place on the north side of the palace has now been built with a tall building. .

Li Ping'an quickly found the thing that touched his heart.

It was in the middle of the backyard of the Shang Palace. There was a courtyard that was completely sealed and made into a coffin.

A stone tablet stands in front of the coffin, with a letter...

The tomb of a good woman.

"Xiao Nian?"

Li Ping'an landed in front of the courtyard gate, and more than a dozen soldiers guarding the place stood and fell asleep at the same time.

He pushed the door open and came face to face with a stone tablet with ancient bronze inscriptions engraved on it.

The content probably says:

Fu Hao was the wife of the late king. She led the army to conquer all directions and made great achievements in battle. She was the God of War in the Shang Kingdom. In order to prevent the souls of the dead who died during Fu Hao's conquests from retaliating against the palace, Fu Hao's tomb was erected here to frighten the souls of the dead and protect the King of Shang. .

Walking around the stone monument, you can see a square courtyard with a square platform ten feet square made of bronze in the center. In the middle of the platform is a large four-legged cauldron.

Li Ping'an flicked his finger, and a little light escaped into the cauldron.

After a while, this glimmer of light revealed a faint figure.

She was wearing a military uniform and armor, and her tall figure was very majestic, but her eyes were a little dazed.

Such a small thought.

Li Pingan sighed.

He suddenly realized why Hao Xiaonian became the God of War in the Shang Kingdom.

Because he had improved Hao Xiaonian's physique before, even though he was just doing it casually, he gave her the power to crush mortals.

"Xiao Nian?"

Li Ping'an called warmly, but the remnant soul did not respond.

Li Ping'an raised his hand and touched Canhun's forehead, as if giving her a gentle push, and a little golden light merged into Canhun's mind.

She suddenly showed a fierce look on her face and punched Li Ping'an.

Li Ping'an just let her punch him a few times.

Xiao Nian's mind was recovering rapidly, and she suddenly recognized who the person in front of her was. She couldn't help crying, and after beating Li Ping'an more than ten times, she knelt down weakly.

"Master Black Turtle...Xiao Nian feels so uncomfortable..."

"I've wronged you."

Li Pingan sighed:

"I thought you would be rich and wealthy throughout your life, but I didn't expect that you would also be destined to work hard, and you would be tortured by resentful spirits after death.

"Come with me."

I just kept wiping the tears on my face.

After a while.

The back hall of the abandoned Nuwa Temple outside the city.

Li Ping'an placed two futons, and Hao Xiaonian stood aside with some restraint.

Her appearance was fixed at that of someone in her thirties, and the swords that crossed the battlefield left her with shallow scars. She had given birth to several children, and she no longer lived up to her youth.

Li Ping'an asked: "Do you like the way you are now or the way you were before you got married?"

"It was before I got married. I was very comfortable then."

Hao Xiaonian sighed softly.

A little blood flew out from Li Ping'an's fingertips, and the blood instantly turned into a blood-colored film mixed with gold powder, wrapping the good thoughts in it.

The next moment, Hao Xiaonian's spirit body returned to the way it looked when he first became the high priest, with a bit of flesh and blood.

"sit down."

Li Pingan patted the futon and sighed:

"I asked you to focus on the human sacrifice of human animals in Nanzhou. Why is human sacrifice so prosperous in the Shang Dynasty?"

"I can only say that it is hard to come back."

Hao Xiaonian sighed softly, sat in front of Li Ping'an, and said softly:

"I don't know how to say it. The more than ten years after you appeared were indeed good. Everyone used animals to sacrifice to the gods.

"Shortly after my death... they sacrificed and imprisoned my soul, and I watched them all the time.

"The king I married may have lost his mind. He reactivated the witchcraft forces that he had participated in before, and reduced those prisoners of war who could not be disposed of to human sacrifices.

“In fact, the decades during his reign were the ones in which the Shang people sacrificed the most.

"However, I can also feel that the number of human sacrifices in various places is constantly decreasing. The legends of Nuwa Temple and the Black Turtle God are constantly spreading, and the gods will occasionally appear.

"It's just that the gods don't come to Shangdu very often because the Great Black Turtle was once in Shangdu."

Hao Xiaonian pursed her lips slightly:

"I failed to live up to your expectations."

"It's not your fault. It's because your bad habits have returned after your death."

Li Ping'an rubbed his forehead.

How many human sacrifices were sacrificed here?

Nuwa is about to return. If Nanzhou stops the matter of human sacrifice, the Holy Mother will be so happy.

Although there is great improvement now, the effect is still much worse.

Li Ping'an suddenly asked: "Do you think it is still necessary for Shang State to exist?"

Hao Xiaonian was slightly startled, then lowered his head to think, and whispered:

"After all, I was once the great witch priest and the mother of the Shang Kingdom, so I naturally favor the Shang Kingdom."

"Businessmen sacrifice human animals. I don't allow this."

Li Pingan said calmly:

"I have decided to replace King Shang."

Hao Xiaonian asked cautiously: "Are we going to use the Dongyi tribe? They developed very fast. Although they were attacked by the Shang king all the year round, their tribesmen continued to increase, and they almost unified a large area in the east, which was once owned by merchants. former residence."

Li Ping'an shook his head: "The details haven't been decided yet. I came to Nanzhou this time just to walk around and cultivate some forces and tribes. Who is the current King of Shang?"

"Wen Ding, Zi Tuo."

Li Ping'an:...

He only remembered that King Zhou was Emperor Xinzishou.

He said: "No matter who it is, the country is not far away from being destroyed... What are your plans?"

Hao Xiaonian pursed her lips slightly and whispered: "It would be great if I could be freed. It's quite uncomfortable for me to be trapped in that small tomb."

"You don't need to be so careful. You were so lively before, and you dared to speak and do...I said before that I would accept you as a registered disciple."

Li Pingan said:

"In addition to the Great God Black Turtle, I am still the Emperor of Heaven and Earth. I can control heaven, earth, and the human world.

"You are one of my two disciples, so I cannot wrong you.

"If you are willing, I will send you to reincarnate and cultivate again later. When you become an immortal, I will take you to heaven to practice. What do you think?"

Although Hao Xiaonian didn't know the details, the previous scenes emerged in her heart, and she couldn't help but burst into tears, and she hurriedly knelt down to Li Ping'an.

"You have finished this life, come with me next, just in time to introduce me to these forces around the Shang Kingdom."

"Yes, Master."

So Xiao Nian agreed.

Li Ping'an took out a self-propelled immortal armor from his sleeve and let the spirit of Hao Xiaonian enter it. The self-propelled immortal armor would be her body first, and then he would send her to reincarnation after he finished his work in the Xuanwu world.

He raised his hand to hold the walking immortal armor's shoulder, just stepped forward gently, and disappeared without a trace with a small thought.

They first went to the land of Dongyi, witnessed the power of the Dongyi tribe, and met the two hundred princes in the eastern part of the Shang Kingdom, as well as the Jiang family of Dongbohou who had stationed millions of troops but did not go north to fight the Dongyi tribe.

Li Ping'an looked from a distance, and saw that the Jiang family raised a large number of strange beasts, and there were also a small number of Qi practitioners with cultivation levels here.

Of course, the strength of these Qi refiners is pitifully low. They can be called strangers in the ordinary world, but they are not qualified to go out and make a living in Dongzhou.

The Jiang family's disobedience is a bit exaggerated.

Although Hao Xiaonian is trapped in the palace, she is sacrificed by the King of Shang every year. She is the Valkyrie of the Shang Kingdom, and she has some spirituality. She talks about the origins and family background of these great vassal states with many treasures.

After walking around here, Li Pingan pointed at the contemporary Dong Bohou, and then took Xiao Nian to the north.

In this way, Li Ping'an left more than ten arrangements after visiting the three major vassal states in the east, south and north.

The last journey has just arrived at the west side of Shang Kingdom.

There was a new great vassal state there, Zhou.

Hao Xiaonian softly introduced:

"The Zhou Kingdom only developed in the past few hundred years. Their ancestors were actually a branch of the Qiang people. They later submitted to the vassal states here. Later, they replaced these vassal states and established themselves as the Zhou Kingdom. They gained the support of that generation of Shang kings. Reward.

"But compared to Dong Bohou and Nan Bohou, Zhou doesn't have much background. Previously, they were targeted by the new King of Shang because of their rapid development, and his leader Ji Li was killed.

"The Kingdom of Zhou also surrendered even more."

Li Ping'an asked: "Killing the leader of the country will make the Zhou Kingdom more obedient?"

Hao Xiaonian raised his hand and rubbed his forehead: "The Shang King has always thought like this, because it has been like this since ancient times."

Li Ping'an frowned and looked around, and saw a young man riding a bullock cart, returning to the somewhat shabby palace.

Looking at the various places in the Zhou Kingdom, there are no high buildings or high walls, and most of them are low-rise buildings. Although there is a large population and adequate food and clothing, it is difficult to believe that this will be a Zhou Kingdom that was replaced by merchants.

Li Ping'an thought for a moment, wrote down the face of the young King Zhou, and nodded slightly.

Hao Xiaonian asked: "Master, aren't you here to make arrangements?"

"The layout here cannot be done haphazardly."

Li Ping'an withdrew his gaze and said slowly:

"Let's go, let's deal with some things first, and then I'll send you to the underworld."

Hao Xiaonian regained a little of her former liveliness: "What are you going to do? Can I follow you?"

"It's no big deal, just killing people and scaring immortals."

Li Ping'an smiled slightly:

"It's only been six hundred years since you've done this to me. What use do I need from these old nobles?"

Hao Xiaonian didn't understand why, but he noticed the murderous intent in Li Ping'an's eyes.

Below, the carriage swayed in front of a large courtyard. This was the royal palace of the Zhou Kingdom.

Aribei opened the door curtain, and the young man inside quickly stuffed two small wooden boards into his sleeves, lowered his head and got out of the carriage, and stepped into the courtyard in front.

What is written on the wooden board is...

The flying dragon is in the sky, which is good for meeting adults.
