Honghuang: Senior Brother of the Chan Sect, I am Guangchengzi

Chapter 274 The Immortals Descend to Earth to Test Ji Chang

After the two men left, another ray of fairy light flew out from Kunlun Mountain. When the fairy light slowly stopped, it turned out to be a middle-aged Taoist priest with a green scarf on his head, fluttering sleeves, hemp shoes on his feet, and a sword on his back. It was Shen Gongbao who had gone up the mountain with Jiang Ziya to seek the Tao.

Seeing Jiang Ziya staying in Yuxu Palace for many days and now being sent off by Yun Zhongzi when he left the palace, Shen Gongbao could not bear the jealousy in his heart.

In his opinion, he was much better than Jiang Ziya, but in recent years, Yuanshi Tianzun favored Jiang Ziya more and ignored him, which naturally made him unwilling.

"I went up the mountain to seek the truth when I was forty, and Jiang Ziya was seventy when he went up the mountain. Now I have already achieved the way of immortality, and I am only one step away from becoming immortal."

Shen Gongbao gritted his teeth and said, "Jiang Ziya is still lingering on the threshold of becoming an immortal. Such a stupid person actually benefits more than me. Heaven is really unfair!

As the saying goes, a man who knows the current situation is a hero, and a wise bird chooses a tree to live in. Since Kunlun Mountain cannot keep me, I will go somewhere else. I don’t believe that everyone in the world is so ignorant! "

Thinking of this, he also turned into a ray of Jade Fairy Light and left. He was seen by the Nan Ji Immortal who had just returned from Heaven, and couldn't help but feel puzzled.

However, the Immortal of the South Pole had important things to do when he returned to Kunlun Mountain. He had no time to pay attention to Shen Gongbao's affairs and immediately rushed to Yuxu Palace.

Seeing the White Crane Boy, he quickly said, "Brother Baihe, please tell our Master that Nanji wants to see us."

The White Crane Boy bowed and said, "Bai He greets Senior Brother Nan Ji. The Master already knows the purpose of your visit. He just said that everything depends on human effort. I hope Senior Brother will take care of himself.

In addition, now is the Conferred God Tribulation, if necessary, please do not come to Kunlun Mountain again. During the Tribulation, the Saints cannot take action, otherwise they will be suspected of bullying the weak. "

The Immortal of the South Pole was also happy to receive the order, so he nodded and immediately rushed to the Heavenly Palace again.

Before he could even sit firmly, the Immortal of the South Pole issued several decrees in succession, most of which were trivial matters, but one was the most crucial, which was that the place where Yao Ji was trapped was moved from Taoshan to Taishan, and the person guarding her was changed from the Four Hercules to the God of Land of Taishan.

The trapped area became larger, but the people guarding it became weaker, which puzzled the gods in heaven who were paying attention to this matter. Lord Haotian and Queen Mother of the West immediately came to hold them accountable.

Facing the questions from the two Heavenly Emperors and Empresses, Nan Ji Xian Weng simply smiled and said, "It's just a change of guarding place. I have discussed this matter with the Lord of Justice, and the Lord has no objection. Why did you two come here?"

They both naturally knew that compared to Taoshan, Taishan was naturally better. After all, Taoshan was just an ordinary mountain, while Taishan was an innate sacred mountain.

But there is also an owner on top of Mount Tai, and that is the innate goddess Bixia Yuanjun who was born after the dragon and phoenix calamity. And Yao Ji's master, the Old Mother of Mount Li, has a very close relationship with Bixia Yuanjun, and they can be called sisters.

Now that this person has imprisoned Yao Ji in Mount Tai, they can't help but wonder whether these two people want to use this opportunity to sow discord between Bixia Yuanjun and the Mother of Mount Li?
But this matter is reasonable. After all, the reason why the Immortal of the South Pole moved Yao Ji was because the earth veins in the mortal world are prone to change, so Taoshan, as a mortal mountain, is not suitable as a place to guard.

The ground veins under Mount Tai are independent of other mountains and can remain unchanged for thousands of years, so it is just right.

Seeing that they could not get to the bottom of the matter, the two could only retreat unwillingly, leaving the Immortal of the South Pole alone sitting in the imperial palace, looking at Yao Ji in the mortal world with a smile on his face.

"Splitting the mountain to save your mother, how touching! But now the mountain has changed from Taoshan to Taishan, and I don't know how you are going to split it."

The reason why he had rushed to Kunlun Mountain was to ask Yuanshi Tianzun for instructions. After all, the Lord of Justice suddenly came to his house and asked him to transfer Yao Ji from Taoshan to Taishan for imprisonment, and then wait for Yang Jian to come and split the mountain.

This matter was of great importance, and since the Lord of Justice was not Guangchengzi himself, he did not dare to act rashly and had to ask for the will of the Heavenly Lord.

Fortunately, although Yuanshi Tianzun did not say it explicitly, he told him to do whatever he wanted, so he did it.

The Lord of Justice acted like this naturally because of the order of Guangchengzi.

After seeing Emperor Xin make such an unwise move, the immortals of the Chan sect began to look for people of great virtue, hoping to use them to expose the Shang Dynasty.

Guangchengzi had expected this, and he had just shown it on purpose. With the guidance of Nuwa, he took the opportunity to lead the immortals to Xiqi, and indeed saw a scene of peace and prosperity in the country.

Although Emperor Xin was young and capable, he was assisted by Grand Tutor Wen Zhong and King Wucheng Huang Feihu, and he managed the Shang Dynasty in an orderly manner.

However, the Shang Dynasty was too large, and even Emperor Xin found it difficult to extend his favor to everyone. In addition, although Ji Chang did not have many civil and military officials to help him, he was extremely good at ruling.

When they met young people who were talented but had obstacles that prevented them from making progress, they would adopt them as their adopted sons and daughters. If they counted them carefully, there were dozens of them.

These people all have their own unique talents, and helping to govern Xiqi naturally makes this territory appear exceptionally prosperous, even more prosperous than the territory under the feet of the emperor Chaoge.

What is even more amazing is that this place has always been blessed with good weather and no disasters have occurred for almost a hundred years. There is rain every year, sunshine every month, the land is fertile, and the homes are peaceful.

Although Chaoge is also like this, this is because many Jiejiao immortals used all kinds of magical powers to change the world. However, the land of Xiqi is naturally like this, which shows how much it is favored by the way of heaven.

As soon as the immortals of the Chan sect arrived here, they were immediately attracted by this extraordinary scene, and they all believed that Ji Chang was the holy king destined by heaven.

However, although they have chosen Xiqi as the force to deal with Da Shang, they still need to consider it carefully before deciding to help here.

After all, for them, such a place can be easily bought for a thousand or eight hundred yuan. If Ji Chang, the lord of Xiqi, is an incompetent person, then don't blame them for choosing someone else.

Just at this time Ji Chang returned from Chaoge, so many immortals immediately transformed into mortals and came down to earth, performing a mortal market scene in front of Ji Chang.

As soon as Ji Chang arrived near Xiqi on horseback, he saw a market there. He was curious about when this place was built, but he did not suspect anything.

In addition, many of his ministers were also thirsty and hungry, so they walked into an open-air teahouse and shouted to the waiter, "Waiter, come here quickly."

A little girl with pigtails, linen clothes and a gray face came over immediately after hearing the words, nodded and bowed, "What would you like to eat?"

One of the ministers wanted to tease him and deliberately said, "Your store is so small, where can you find anything to eat?"

Although the little girl was young, she was very courageous. She immediately said loudly: "Although our family is a small shop, we can still make some home-cooked dishes. We have everything from daughter's red to bamboo leaf green, which will definitely satisfy your needs." This little girl was naturally Jingwei. Although she was the daughter of the Emperor of the Earth and had a noble status, it was also her first time to come to such a place.

Normally, I can only glimpse it from afar when I am guiding the souls of the dead, so naturally I feel quite curious and amused.

But Ji Chang didn't think so. Seeing such a young girl actually helping with things, he sighed in his heart that life is difficult.

So he said in a gentle voice: "Whatever good wine and food you have here, please bring them up, and your gold and silver will be indispensable."

After hearing this, Jingwei naturally agreed, and then immediately ran to the kitchen to serve the dishes. There were not many people in the kitchen, only one cook, Huaxu.

When Hua Xu was a mortal, she often had to cook for Fuxi, so she was quite good at cooking.

After a short while, Jingwei had served several plates of exquisite and delicious dishes. Ji Chang felt that the food was very delicious. Even the chefs in his palace lacked a bit of familiarity in comparison.

The others were naturally more blatant about it. They kept their heads down while eating, and although they observed etiquette, they also showed that they were eating in a voracious manner.

Just as Ji Chang was thinking about whether he should order a few more cups of wine, some ferocious-looking men suddenly came from outside the door, each of them carrying a bloody aura.

The leader had several scars on his face. He sat down on one of the chairs as soon as he came in and yelled, "Come here, that damn girl. Didn't you see that I'm here for dinner?"

Jingwei naturally walked over with a look of trepidation, and said tremblingly: "Uncle Huanglong, it's been a long time since we last met. I wonder where you have been recently?"

This person was naturally Huang Long Zhenren. Huang Long Zhenren laughed strangely and said, "It's none of your business where I'm showing off my power. Hurry up and serve the good wine and good meat, or you'll suffer the consequences!"

Jingwei pursed her lips and said with some fear: "Uncle Huanglong, and all the uncles, we are a small business here. You often buy on credit. Our small shop is really short of capital. Recently, we don't have much money to buy meat and vegetables. We really... we really don't have any."

Upon hearing this, Huang Long immediately slammed the table, stood up with a fierce look on his face, and cursed: "I came to your place to eat because I think highly of you, and buying on credit is just a nice way to say it. You actually dare to ask me for money, you want money but not your life!"

Ji Chang and his companions naturally felt annoyed by the commotion here, and Hua Xu rushed over from the kitchen, wiped her hands on the apron around her waist, and hurried over to apologize with a smile.

"You must be joking. It is a great honor for our shop to have you. With your help, naturally no outsider dares to come and obstruct the opening of the shop. You have really done a great deed!"

After Hua Xu finished speaking, she shouted at Jing Wei who was standing beside her: "You stinky girl, you actually dared to ask these gentlemen for money. What did I teach you every day? Get out of here!"

After saying that, he pinched Jingwei's hand hard. Jingwei cried out in pain, then retreated with tears in her eyes.

Seeing Hua Xu was so sensible, Huang Long Zhenren sat down contentedly, put his feet on the table, and burst into laughter from time to time with the other people around him.

Seeing that these people were bullying the good people, and they were doing it near Xiqi, Ji Chang was so angry that he was speechless.

Some military officials with foresight immediately stepped forward to subdue these evil men. After they pinned down Master Huanglong, Hua Xu hurried over.

Seeing this, she hurriedly tried to reconcile them, saying, "Please give me some face and don't get so angry. Is it because the food is not to your liking? I will make it again right away!"
I just ask everyone not to use knives or guns here. This meal is a treat for you all. Don't get angry, don't get angry! Harmony brings wealth!"

Ji Chang waved his hand and said, "This matter has nothing to do with you two. These people are bullying the good people, and we are doing it for justice. In the future, without these people obstructing you, you can continue to run your business.

You don't have to worry about them coming back to haunt you. I'll take them out to the wild and kill them later. You can rest assured and not have to worry about these things."

But after hearing this, Hua Xu not only did not feel happy at all, but instead had a sad face and looked as if he wanted to say something but stopped. It was obvious that he did not want these people to be killed.

Ji Chang was a little curious when he saw this, and nodded, "Boss, do you have anything else to say?"

Hua Xu pursed his lips and said, "I know you all have good intentions, but can I ask you for one thing, that is, don't hurt these people's lives."

Some ministers were dissatisfied with Ji Chang's kindness being ignored, and shouted: "How can you be so 'benevolent', shopkeeper? This man oppressed you so much, but not only did you not confront him in person, but you also sought for him. Could it be that you have developed feelings for him because of the oppression and don't want him to die?"

After hearing this, Hua Xu finally couldn't help herself and said with tears in her eyes: "You are all nobles in the city, you don't know the suffering of us ordinary people.

You have to pay to do things outside the city. If you don't pay, these people won't protect you, and you won't be able to continue working here. Although paying money is not good, it can really help us stay safe.

You all only see these people eating and drinking for free in my store, but you don’t know that when someone invades, they will immediately step forward to repel the enemy. They can maintain peace in exchange for a little money, which is a great thing for us ordinary people.

If you kill them today, there will be others who will continue to collect money in the future. They may not do as good as them, and it is possible that they will do worse. They are already our best protection."

After hearing what Hua Xu said, even the person who had questioned him earlier was speechless, and Ji Chang just stood there in a daze, not knowing how to sit down.

Someone couldn't help but ask, "Since it's so dangerous outside the city, why don't you go to Xiqi City? It's only a few dozen miles away from here, why bother setting up a stall in the wild?"

Hua Xu did not say anything, but Huang Long Zhenren, who was pinned to the ground, bared his teeth and said, "If we can enter the city, do you think we are willing to be bandits outside the city?
What's more, even if we enter the city, there is nothing for us to do. It is better to get a meal outside than to starve to death in the city.

Besides, where is there any safe place in the world today? We are lucky to be able to find such a pure land. "

"The people of the world have suffered so much. I wonder when the world will be at peace?" Ji Chang sighed and asked someone to pay for the wine. He also released the many bandits who were pinned to the ground.

Ji Chang wrote a letter and handed it to them, saying: "I am Ji Chang, the Lord of Xiqi. This is my handwritten letter. If you are willing, you can give it to us to go to Xiqi.

You can also ask other neighbors. If they also have the wish, they can also enter Xiqi. With this letter in hand, no one will stop you. "
