Honghuang: Eat a Hunyuan Daluo

Chapter 213 Zhuanxu is born, Haotian returns (Happy New Year)

"Zhunti, do you know your mistake?" The indifferent voice of Tiandao Hongjun sounded.

Zhunti was startled and immediately knelt on the ground and said, "I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have thought of attacking the dragon clan."

Tiandao Hongjun shook his head and said, "Your biggest mistake was not to attack the dragon clan, but to attack a junior with the dignity of a saint. You didn't even succeed in defeating him. You have completely lost the face of a saint."

"I am incompetent, please punish me, teacher."

Upon hearing this, Tiandao Hongjun snorted coldly and with a wave of his hand, he drove Jieyin and Zhunti out of Zixiao Palace.

After the two came out of Zixiao Palace, Zhunti smiled bitterly and said, "Brother, this time when I was resurrected, the Heavenly Dao has eroded me one more level."

Jie Yin sighed upon hearing this, and then told Zhunti that Bai Jing was now a 30th-grade Chaos White Lotus and that even the Heavenly Dao could do nothing about him.

Zhunti's face changed drastically. He never expected that Bai Jing had become so terrifying.

"Brother, let's try to avoid Bai Jing as much as possible in our future plans!"

Jie Yin nodded. After this time, let alone them, no one in the prehistoric world would dare to offend Bai Jing and his Holy Lotus Sect again.

Time flies, and before we knew it, 500 years have passed since the Dragon Sea Eye riot.

Shaohao had been in power for more than 3500 years. He adhered to the teachings of the Yellow Emperor, worked hard to govern the country, and continued to implement benevolent policies, allowing the human race to recuperate and restore people's livelihood after experiencing the War of Supremacy.

Shaohao is a man of foresight. He has a clear mind and understands everything in the world.

He was well aware of the gifts of the land, was good at cultivating various resources, and developed production according to the laws of the earth. He observed the weather and planned people's lives based on celestial phenomena, and formulated etiquette and morality in accordance with the revelations of ghosts and gods, and promoted education.

Under his governance, the human population increased rapidly and continued to migrate to all corners of the wilderness.

Today, the human race extends as far north as Youling, where the wind is cold and the land is covered with ice and snow; to the south as far as Jiaozhi, where the climate is hot and humid and the jungle is lush; to the west as far as Liusha, where the endless yellow sand bears witness to the perseverance of the human race; to the east as far as Panmu, where the ancient sacred tree tells the legend of the human race.

When the human race was developing rapidly, Shaohao, like his father Emperor Xuanyuan Huangdi, began to travel among the human race, searching for talents who could succeed him as the leader of the human race.

Bai Jing and Nuwa have been paying attention to the destiny of the human race over the years. If this continues, as soon as the next Human Emperor takes the throne, they will begin to revive humanity and create the world again.

Soon another hundred years passed.

Shaohao's son Zhuanxu was born.

Bai Jing immediately called Yunxiao and asked Yunxiao to go to the human race to accept Zhuanxu as a disciple and teach him his great teachings.

"Fellow Daoist Bai Jing, if we calculate the time, Haotian has been in the mortal world and experiencing tribulations for a thousand years. It should be almost time for him to complete his merits, right?" Nuwa said with interest.

Bai Jing counted with his fingers upon hearing this, and indeed, Haotian had already experienced the tribulation for ten lifetimes. He nodded and said, "Just as Daoist Nüwa said, Haotian will soon complete his merits and virtues."

"Fellow Daoist Bai Jing's clone once told me that Haotian's journey to the mortal world to experience the tribulation was the Heaven's plan for the next tribulation. Will he bring back the son of destiny for the next tribulation after completing his merits this time?"

“No, but when Haotian returns, he should bring someone who is closely related to the son of the next catastrophe.”

Nuwa showed an interested expression when she heard this, and with a thought, she summoned the long river of time, and then used the powerful magic power of the Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian to easily catch a wave. This wave was exactly what Haotian experienced in his tenth life.

"Fellow Daoist, would you like to take a look together?" Nuwa asked with a smile.

"Then let's take a look together!"

The tenth reincarnation of Haotian is named Zhang Youren. He comes from a wealthy family and is the head of the village.

Because his family had considerable assets, and Zhang Youren was kind-hearted and charitable, and often gave porridge to the poor, his reputation spread far and wide, and everyone in the nearby villages and towns knew about this great philanthropist.

What is even more rare is that Zhang Youren is compassionate, generous and magnanimous, and never argues with others. Therefore, his neighbors and fellow villagers call him "Zhang Bairen".

Zhang Youren's good reputation allowed him to marry the most beautiful woman in the area.

This woman is beautiful, good at managing the household, and keeps household affairs in order.

"Fellow Daoist Bai Jing, do you think this woman is somewhat similar to Yao Chi?" Nuwa asked with a smile after taking a closer look at the appearance of Zhang Bairen's wife.

"Indeed, he is somewhat similar. He must be an incarnation of Yao Chi or he was enlightened by Yao Chi to help Haotian complete this last reincarnation so that Haotian can achieve perfection as soon as possible!"

Nuwa also thought so, and she was more willing to believe that Zhang Bairen’s wife was an incarnation of Yao Chi. After all, this woman gave birth to seven daughters with Zhang Bairen, and named them after the colors of the rainbow.

If this woman is not the incarnation of Yao Chi, doesn't it mean that Yao Chi has found a love rival for herself?

All of Zhang Youren's seven daughters were extremely intelligent. They were proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. They were graceful in dealing with people, skilled in needlework and knitting, and could compose poems and songs with ease.

Zhang Bairen has a younger sister who is still unmarried, and the family is harmonious and happy.

While Bai Jing and Nuwa were watching Haotian's tenth reincarnation, the gods in heaven were also discussing the arrangements for welcoming the Emperor back.

However, Daozu had said at the time that Haotian could only return after his merits were complete, and the gods in heaven did not dare to make the decision on their own to bring Haotian back.

"Your Majesty, why don't you let Taibai Jinxing go to the human race and see whether Your Majesty has completed his merits and virtues." An old man from the Heavenly Palace suggested to Yao Chi.

After thinking for a moment, Yao Chi agreed and decided to let Taibai Jinxing go and check whether Haotian's merits in this life were complete.

After all, Taibai Jinxing is Haotian's most trusted and closest minister, so there will be no problem if he is sent.

On this day, an old beggar suddenly appeared in the city where Zhang Youren lived.

The old beggar was dressed in rags and had an ugly appearance. He begged for neither food nor money. He just kept asking, "Auntie, do you have any ginseng soup that you can't finish drinking? Give me a bowl!"

Begging in this way was naturally fruitless. The old beggar was starving, but he still did not change his mind and continued to beg for ginseng soup.

On this morning, the old beggar came to Zhangjia Village. He noticed that the people here were different from those in other places. Men farmed and women wove, busy and orderly, young and old lived in harmony, those with money and food were respected, and those without money and power were not bullied.

The old beggar pretended to be ignorant and asked the villagers: "Who can manage this place so well?"

The villagers did not discriminate against the old beggar and told him enthusiastically that the village chief was Zhang Youren, who was able to endure everything and was nicknamed "Zhang Bairen". Because he treated people equally and helped the poor and the needy, the villagers all praised him as a great nobleman.

The old beggar learned the location of Zhang Youren's home from the villagers and immediately decided to find out.

When the old beggar staggered to the door of Zhang Bairen's house, he fainted from hunger.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Youren, without saying a word, carried the old beggar on his back and placed him on his bed. He then cleared his meridians and gave him saline solution, and finally revived him.

After the old beggar woke up, he asked for meat and wine. After eating and drinking, he said he was thirsty. Zhang Youren wanted to pour him tea, but the old beggar said he wanted to drink ginseng soup.

Zhang Youren was not angry, but cooked a big bowl of ginseng soup for him.

The old beggar had lived in Zhang's house for more than half a month. Zhang Youren and he ate at the same table, sat on the same stool, and slept on the same bed. Seeing this, the daughter of the child Wa Niang Niang couldn't help but complain: "This Li Changgeng is really bold. Isn't he afraid of Haotian's revenge in the future?"

"The Taoist once said that Haotian should cultivate his life and cultivate his character. If Taibai Jinxing doesn't do something excessive, how can it be proved that Haotian can achieve perfect merit?"

Nuwa curled her lips and continued to look down.

At this time, Taibai Jinxing has confirmed that the Jade Emperor has reached the requirements of the Taoist Ancestor in terms of self-cultivation.

So Taibai Jinxing started the second test.

One day, Zhang Youren called the old beggar to have breakfast, but there was no response for a long time. He lifted the quilt and found that the old beggar was nowhere to be seen. There was only a half-human-sized golden doll hidden under the quilt.

When the villagers saw this, they all said that Zhang Youren was a man of great patience and became rich this time.

Zhang Youren said, "Money is something outside of one's body. Too much of it may not be a good thing."

After saying this, Zhang Youren immediately ordered his family to smash the golden doll into pieces and distribute it to poor families.

Just when Zhang Youren was about to smash the golden doll, the golden doll changed back into Taibai Jinxing and walked down from the bed.

When everyone saw this, they knew they had met an immortal. They were amazed and knelt down except Zhang Youren.

Taibai Jinxing helped everyone up and said, "Master Zhang, I am a cultivator. I traveled in a foreign land and encountered many hardships along the way. I finally came to your place. I am honored to be treated so well by you. However, I have one thing I don't understand, and I would like to ask Master Zhang for your advice."

"I don't deserve your advice, so I'll just speak frankly."

"May I ask, Master Zhang, why are you so kind and generous and willing to work so hard?"

Zhang Youren smiled and said, "There is a saying in the world that it is more blessed to give than to receive. Since I was young, my parents have taught me that those who do good deeds will be rewarded.

Besides, the world is vast, and only when people are kind can the world be harmonious. Although I have little money, if I can do my best to help others out of trouble, why not do it? "

Taibai Jinxian heard this and thought to himself: "This Jade Emperor's ten reincarnations are really different."

Then Taibai Jinxing continued to ask: "Master Zhang, I heard that it is easy to show kindness and do good deeds, but it is not easy to persevere. Master Zhang has been doing good deeds for many years. Have you ever wavered?"

Zhang Youren shook his head and said, "Everything I do comes from my heart, without any hesitation. Everyone in the world has hardships. If everyone can lend a helping hand, how can there be injustice in the world? Besides, helping others is helping yourself. If one day my family falls on hard times, I hope someone can lend a hand."

Taibai Jinxing tested Zhang Bairen again and again, and seeing that he was truly doing good deeds from the bottom of his heart without any falsehood, he knew that the Jade Emperor had reached the point of completing his merits.

Then Taibai Jinxing returned to the heaven and reported to Yaochi.

After listening to Taibai Jinxing's narration, Yao Chi brought Taibai Jinxing to the court meeting and asked the immortals about it.

The immortals then asked, "What is Zhang Bairen's virtue?"

Taibai Jinxing replied: "Zhang Bairen is a man of both virtue and behavior, he loves charity and has perfect merits."

The immortals were overjoyed. The Jade Emperor had been on earth for a thousand years and had experienced many tribulations. The immortals in heaven had always felt like they were missing a backbone. Now that the Jade Emperor had completed his merits, he was finally going to return to heaven.

Then the immortals began to discuss who to send to bring back the Jade Emperor.

After some debate among the immortals, Queen Mother Yao Chi decided to let the barefoot immortal go and bring Zhang Youren back to heaven.

The barefoot immortal is also an old man in the heavenly court. He has the cultivation of a Daluo Golden Immortal. He is free and easy by nature and does not care about trivial matters. He has great magical powers and supernatural powers. He is good at the art of walking and fighting and is extremely fast.

After receiving the order from Yao Chi, the barefoot immortal immediately came to the human race, found Zhang Youren, and told him about the matters in heaven.

The barefoot immortal thought that Zhang Youren would gladly agree. After all, being an immortal and the master of the three realms was a great honor. Unexpectedly, Zhang Youren's answer was just two words: "No."

"Not going? Why not?" the barefoot immortal asked subconsciously.

"If I don't want to go, then I won't go. Why should I go?"

The barefoot immortal, who had suffered a setback, returned to heaven to explain the situation.

The immortals were also confused and couldn't understand why the Jade Emperor's reincarnation would refuse to return.

At this time, it was Taibai Jinxing who knew Haotian best who spoke up. He smiled and said, "The barefoot immortal can save the common people. If you ask him to ascend to heaven, I believe that Your Majesty will not refuse this time."

So the barefoot immortal came to Zhang's house again and said earnestly: "Master Zhang, the Three Realms are in chaos and order is not yet established. We urgently need a master of the Three Realms to govern. You can't just watch countless lives suffer in the prehistoric world and do nothing, right?"

After hearing this, Zhang Youren pondered for a long time and finally agreed to God's request. The specific date was set for the 19th of this month.

Soon, the day of going to heaven arrived, and all the immortals came to the South Gate of Heaven to prepare to welcome the return of the Emperor of Heaven.

Zhang Youren asked his family to pack up their belongings and ascend to heaven together.

Unexpectedly, at this time, the barefoot immortal said that only he could ascend to heaven.

Zhang Youren's face darkened when he heard this. He said firmly, "I absolutely cannot go to heaven alone. My wife has been with me through thick and thin for decades. She is virtuous and kind. I cannot abandon her! Besides, if I leave alone, how can I rest assured that my seven daughters and sister will be left behind? This is not what a real man should do."

After saying this, Zhang Youren flicked his sleeves and left.

Seeing this, the barefoot immortal turned his head and asked in the sky: "This should be all right, right? In the face of the temptation of becoming the master of the three realms, Your Majesty did not abandon his wife and relatives. I think you all should have no doubts, right?"

All the immortals nodded in agreement.

So the barefoot immortal met Zhang Youren again and told him that the Heavenly Court agreed to let Zhang Youren take his wife, daughter, and sister to heaven.

When the seven daughters heard this, they were also very happy and prepared to ascend to heaven together.

However, Zhang Youren was unhappy at this time.

Seeing this, the barefoot immortal asked, "Master Zhang, is there anything else that worries you? Tell us everything, and the gods in heaven will do everything they can to satisfy your request."

Zhang Youren hesitated for a moment, then said a little embarrassedly, "I still have some rice at home, how can I abandon it? I have to take it with me. I have to take the toilet with me. I am used to using my own toilet. After I die, there will be no one to take care of my chickens, dogs, and pigs. I can't bear it! I have to take them with me."

Upon hearing this, the barefoot immortal laughed and said, "Don't worry, Master Zhang. All your requests will be met in heaven! The food, toilets, chickens, dogs, and pigs in your home can all go to heaven together."

Zhang Youren then smiled and happily prepared to ascend to heaven.

What Zhang Youren didn't expect was that when he ascended to heaven, the pig in his house ran away because of his greed, and only the chicken and the dog ascended to heaven.

Later, there was a saying among the people that "if one person succeeds, the whole family will benefit."

Because the pig in Zhang Youren's family ran away, there were no pigs in heaven after he ascended to heaven. Later, this matter spread to the people. People believed that after Zhang Youren was promoted to the Emperor of Heaven, he wanted to eat pork but could not, so the people offered him pig heads to please the Emperor of Heaven in exchange for good weather.
