The fairy father

The beasts roared and the frames rolled.

The misty drizzle made the ground extremely muddy, and figures rushed forward stepping on the mud.

On the endless plain, two groups of creatures began to fight head-on.

Li Pingan sat in the dungeon and in the clouds, with his left hand supporting his forehead, watching the fighting of creatures and listening to the voices of all living beings.

Fear, rage, pleasure release...

All kinds of negative emotions rose up and turned into blood-red runes, filling the shadow of the killing road behind him.

Li Pingan did not think about any problems, but just watched quietly.

This kind of battle actually has no direct connection with him. He is the defender of heaven and earth and the judge of justice and injustice. If an immortal suddenly appears below and kills mortals, he will immediately send down a divine punishment to make this immortal disappear into ashes.

Those Qi-refining masters who are doing small tricks behind the scenes are also very smart.

Previously, they had been helping the Dongyi tribe to attack the heart of the Shang people's territory, but when Emperor Xin's army appeared on the plain, these Qi-refining practitioners fled directly.

Their goal has been achieved.

Even if the Shang people can win this battle, the elite main force of the Shang King will be damaged, and their strength will be directly exposed to the princes who are watching this place.

Just at the edge of the battlefield, dozens of scouts are lurking far and near, and they will repeat the war that happened here to their masters in detail.

'The thoughts of every living being are extremely complicated. '

'This is also the reason why the Heavenly Dao is getting stronger and stronger. '

'Then, after opening up a new world, will the Heavenly Dao still exist? '

Li Pingan thought quietly.

There was the roar of chaos under his feet, and in front of him was a sea of ​​stars crashing into him.

This is actually very interesting.

Li Pingan originally had no specific goal for cultivation. At the beginning, he felt that striving for a breath and doing the best was like the test-oriented education in his hometown, because the test score was a kind of recognition.

The realm of Taoism for cultivating immortals, how many years to reach a certain realm, seems to have become the test score of cultivation.

Later, the disaster foreshadowed by his father constantly urged him to become stronger and stronger.

When he finally got rid of the pressure of his father's disaster, Muran found that he was standing in front of Lingxiao Palace, stepping into it step by step, and walked into a shadow, in the palm of the invisible big hand.

Now, Li Pingan suddenly found that his mind was very calm.

He had a clear goal, his own plans and expectations, and a vision for the future.

No need to be confused;

No need to hesitate;

No need to be reluctant.

Li Pingan looked down, watching the creatures fighting in the wilderness, feeling the iron-blooded war without immortal magic.

The tragedy here is far less than the battle in Xizhou, and surrendered soldiers have begun to appear in many areas.

But those ghosts who kept appearing in various places on the battlefield, they were at a loss, but made these bloody scenes even heavier.

The rumbling sound of horse hooves came from a distance.

A large army attacked quickly from the southeast, but it was hundreds of thousands of troops led by the Jiang family and Li Jing of Chentangguan.

This army directly attacked the rear of the Dongyi tribal coalition, but did not block the rear. The Dongyi tribe began to collapse in an instant, and the horns of retreat sounded everywhere, and the strange beasts turned around and fled on the edge of losing control.

‘These two families came at the right time. ’

Li Pingan smiled casually, closed his eyes to disperse the phantom, and his mind returned to the cellar of Xibohou Mansion.

He closed his eyes and sat cross-legged, holding his hands in Yuan Shouyi.

No spiritual energy came.

But a dark cloud appeared in the sky, and there seemed to be thousands of troops shouting in the dark cloud. The whole Xiqi City fell into a drizzle and thunder rolled.

Half a month later.

The flying eagles, each of which was trained by the Xiqi City Beast Taming Family and was of extraordinary value, brought news of the war in the distance.

[Emperor Xin led the army to defeat the coalition forces of the Dongyi tribes, beheaded 190,000 people, captured more than 300,000 people, and the coalition forces of the Dongyi tribes were defeated thousands of miles away. The Shang army was pursuing them. ]

"So many captives?"

Li Ping'an frowned and muttered:

"Are all these captives going to be taken back to Chaoge City?"

"Usually," Ji Fa, who delivered the news, drank a sip of cold water, "the tradition of merchants is to capture captives and take them back as slaves, or... as human sacrifices."

"Fortunately, Chaoge City has banned human sacrifices, and most of the sacrifices have been killed, and there are no butchers."

Li Ping'an looked at the cloth in front of him and sighed softly.

Ji Fa asked: "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, I just feel that there are so many casualties in wars."

"Isn't this a common thing?"

Ji Fa said disapprovingly:

"This is the way of the world. Whoever is strong can speak. The Shang people are powerful and have passed down more than 30 emperors to this day.

"If we can also become strong, we can imitate the Shang people's conquest of Xia, unite more than a dozen powerful tribes, and redistribute the world."

"Hey! Hey!"

Li Ping'an glared and said: "Second brother! Don't say that!"

Ji Fa looked around and saw only a few large braziers far and near. He smiled and said: "Aren't we the only two here? I am angry with the Shang people."

"Why are you angry?"

"We Zhou people captured so many human sacrifices for them. My grandfather made great contributions to the Shang Dynasty, expanding the territory and suppressing rebellion. What happened? Died without a complete body.

"If we Zhou people have made mistakes, that's fine, but we have always worked diligently and never dared to complain.

"Look at my father, he is so scared."

Ji Fa sighed:

"Father deliberately lost his manners in the court, lost his hat, and wrestled with the Northern Marquis... He was ridiculed by others, wasn't it just to protect himself? To make the king let down his guard against him and think that he was nothing special? Alas!

"When did father ever lose his temper like this?"

Li Ping'an smiled and shook his head, asking, "There are no forces around us that are ready to make a move, right?"

"No, your method is really great!"

Ji Fa's eyes lit up, and he said with great interest:

"Stay outside their city gates without fighting, and then send invitations to the princes of these small countries near us to come and watch, and curse the princes' many faults in front of them.

"I cursed them for my pleasure anyway.

"It's a pity that you didn't complete what you said, secretly sending someone in to hold the prince hostage, and making him kneel down and admit his mistakes after I finished cursing.

"Who knows, hey, this guy is also tough, just hanged himself."

Li Ping'an said seriously: "Besieging without attacking is to show benevolence and righteousness, secretly holding the prince hostage is to show your courage, and finally hanging him is actually a good effect. I thought it was arranged by you, second brother."

"How can I have such a brain? I just followed the steps you gave me and took them step by step."

Ji Fa put a wooden sign back on the corner of the table:

"Next time there is such a job, you can curse more harshly. This is too literary."

"Courtesy, culture, benevolence, kindness, tolerance, these five words are our magic weapon for victory."

Li Ping'an knocked on the bamboo slips in front of him with a carving knife:

"These are all learned from the classics written by my father.

"Second brother, you can wield less swords and guns, and read more of these. "

"It's enough to have you and your elder brother," Ji Fa said with a smile, "The old rule of our Ji family is that the younger ones take care of the family business, and the elder brothers go out to fight. As the second brother, I also want to open up a territory similar to the Yu State, conquer the Qiang people, and conquer the princes!"

Li Ping'an's expression was a bit difficult to describe.

He muttered: "Warfare depends not only on whether the soldiers fight bravely, the commander's military strategy and performance in battle, but also on weapons, food and grass. Without food and grass, the soldiers will starve to death, and the beasts can't run away. How can we fight? Just being brave is far from enough. "

Ji Fa rubbed his nose embarrassedly: "Aren't we here with you and the ministers? "

Li Ping'an wanted to persuade Ji Fa a few more times, but a Taoist in red came out of the wall.

Taiyi Zhenren? I haven't seen him for a while.

Seeing Taiyi's sad face, Li Ping'an thought something big had happened. He chatted with Ji Fa for a few words and then yawned.

Ji Fa said goodbye and left, and before leaving, he said:

"If you don't want to show up, I'll build a yard for you up there? Let these uncles and aunts send you food and vegetables, so that others don't know that you didn't go to heaven."

"No, it's good here, I'm used to it."

Li Ping'an smiled and said:

"Living alone here, you can hear the voices of all living beings, and there are endless mysteries."

"Ah?" Ji Fa looked confused.

As soon as he left, Taiyi Zhenren solved the illusion, sat down cross-legged, and took out a pot of fairy wine.

"Drink two cups with me! ”

Li Pingan: Does this guy have any respect for the Taoist master, the Emperor of Heaven, and the son of the transcendent?

Taiyi Zhenren sighed, "I have something to ask you."

"I drink earthly wine, and my body can't stand the immortal wine."

Li Pingan responded with great interest.

...

The question asked by Taiyi Zhenren made Li Pingan a little bit amused.

It was nothing else. Taiyi Zhenren had a quarrel with Yu Ding Zhenren because of educating Nezha, no, educating Huo Zha.

Yu Ding Zhenren advised him not to spoil his disciples too much, and let his disciples suffer and experience some hardships, especially since Huo Zha was born with his own magic power and could reach the realm of heavenly immortals in a short time. If he was not restrained, there would definitely be problems.

But Taiyi Zhenren felt that he only had this one serious disciple, who would he love if he didn't love him? Count on Li Jing who lived in the military camp?

Taiyi sighed, "I was just preparing to get some treasures for Huo Zha, but Junior Brother Yu Ding got angry and said that I would cause trouble, so he returned to Kunlun Mountain to practice. What kind of trouble can this cause? Giving a child a little self-defense treasure, what kind of trouble can this cause? "

Li Ping'an held the wine pot and asked in a low voice: "Uncle, what are you going to give Huo Zha?"

"The treasures that I am most proud of."

Taiyi Zhenren raised his eyebrows slightly and slowly took out treasures from his sleeves:

"At the beginning, I thought, first give this child a Hun Tian Ling, Hun Tian Ling can attack, defend and trap the enemy.

"But nephew, think about it, if a top-grade acquired spiritual treasure like Hun Tian Ling falls into the hands of a child, can it not be spied on by others? Can't he be arranged with the Fire Spear?

"My Fire Spear is also an attacking treasure, an innate spiritual treasure, an attacking weapon, but it is not good at defense.

"Isn't it appropriate to give him this Qiankun Circle for self-defense?

"The Qiankun Circle can absorb the flying streams, magic, and magic weapons, and then give the person a taste of his own medicine. It is not only both offensive and defensive, but also very interesting. Huo Zha must like it very much.

"Then I thought, look!

"We have both offensive and defensive skills. With so many treasures on my apprentice, what if he is targeted by those Jiejiao immortals with ulterior motives and attacked? Based on the principle of running away if you can't beat them, shouldn't I give the child a treasure to escape for his life? It just so happens that I have a pair of wind and fire wheels. After stepping on them, you can travel 100,000 miles a day under the Juetian formation!"

Li Ping'an's forehead was full of black lines: "No, uncle, do you want to give all these to Huo Zha at once?"

"Yes, treasures, caves, and techniques, aren't they all meant to be passed on to disciples?"

Master Taiyi chuckled:

"How about it? Just tell me whether Pindao is a good master or a bad one."

"Very strong," Li Ping'an gave a thumbs up, "There is one thing. Huo Zha's combat power will greatly increase after holding these treasures. If he hurts a living being, will you be responsible for half of it, Uncle Master?"

Master Taiyi smiled and said, "Are you afraid that the poor Taoist will only give you treasures and not teach him how to behave?"

"Um."

"You can rest assured, how could Pindao not teach him?"

Master Taiyi smiled and said:

"What does a master do? Of course he teaches his disciples and shows them the way forward."

Li Ping'an touched his chin and muttered: "Can I ask one more question, uncle, how are you going to teach him? Except for cultivation, magic, magic weapons, and ancient knowledge."

"This, Pindao, think about it."

Master Taiyi drank the immortal brew in one gulp and said with a smile:

"Then the first thing must be... strike first to gain the upper hand, and strike later will suffer disaster! In the ancient land, it has always been about who has a big fist and who is tough, and whoever has a strong background is tyrannical. How can a poor disciple be afraid of trouble?"

Li Ping'an:...

Master Taiyi shook his head and continued:

“Now is the time for the Conferred Gods Competition.

"It is inevitable that the two families of Chanjie will fight. If my disciple can train well, he might not be able to make a name for himself in this competition.

“Here we also need to teach him how to draw a sword to help when encountering injustice, and to report to his family first when encountering a strong enemy.

"If you encounter someone you can't defeat, just shout: Patriarch Yuanshi Tianzun!

"The key to fighting is to make a sneak attack first. If the sneak attack fails, then hide your secrets. Show the enemy weakness, lure the enemy into a trap, and then kill him with a fatal blow, without giving the enemy any chance to breathe!"

Li Ping'an drank silently.

Master Taiyi was so excited that he lowered his head and saw that Li Ping'an was lying down pretending to sleep.

"No, what's wrong with you, nephew? Keep talking. Pindao must teach Lingzhu all these skills. This is the duty of a teacher!"

"I'm tired, I'm tired. See you next time."

"Hey you!"

Master Taiyi stood up angrily, walked to the wall with his hands behind his back, and muttered before leaving:

“Is there anything wrong with this?

"This is an ancient ritual."

The fairy light flickered slightly, and then Master Taiyi disappeared.

Li Ping'an yawned, feeling a little sleepy. This body was going to sleep deeply to dispel the alcohol.

He did not withdraw his mind, but experienced the ups and downs, allowing himself to completely relax and let the past pictures emerge in his mind, looking for the true meaning here.

Suddenly.

A billowing wave of blood suddenly appeared in front of Li Pingan's eyes, like a sea of ​​blood surging.

He suddenly woke up.

The old guard behind him was clearing away the dishes.

Li Ping'an counted with his fingers, a few lightning bolts flashed across his eyes, and then he closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

Muffled thunder sounded in the clear sky of Xiqi City.

Li Ping'an said: "I'm going to sleep for a while. Don't wake me up when my second brother comes."

"Hey, yes."

The old guard, whose old wounds had been restored by Master Taiyi, bowed his head in response.

Li Ping'an withdrew his mind and returned to his true body, which released a phantom and headed straight for the Notre Dame Palace.

He was really angry at the moment.

It's not because of anything else, the problem lies with Emperor Xin who returned from the victory in Chaoge City.
