Woo —
A low horn sound streaked across the sky. From afar, a long dragon could be seen slowly moving on the ground.
Li Changshou stood on the eaves in the corner of Goddess Nuwa's Palace and looked into the distance. He saw tens of thousands of people walking on the ground. In front of him, there were a hundred men and women wearing Magus masks jumping around. Behind them, there were more than ten horns being carried by a few people that kept making noises. There were a few batches of replacements on the left and right. They took turns to go into battle. It was very lively.
Most of the guards were armored soldiers. They guarded the huge carriage that was pulled by thirty-two beasts of the same species.
It could be said that mortal emperors would enjoy it. The carriage was like a small hall. It was divided into two floors. There was music playing inside and a graceful figure dancing leisurely. Apart from Di Xin, there were eight ministers accompanying him.
It was a real caravan.
The so-called exotic beasts were actually "ordinary wild beasts" that had been tamed by the human race. However, they were stronger and had outstanding endurance. They became the first choice of the imperial family to pull the carriage. They were also the symbol of the identity of the king of Shang.
Looking at this scene, the birds retreated and the pedestrians retreated. Yellow sand surged and covered the sky.
If one looked at the Qi technique, they could see a golden dragon slowly swimming above the Human Emperor's honor guard. The dragon head covered Di Xin.
The destiny of the Human Emperor.
In ancient times, Dragons had once become the totem of the human race and had helped the human race during their darkest times. Therefore, they became the totem symbol of the human race.
Logically speaking, the manifestation of the King of Shang's destiny should be the Mystic Bird. However, it was ultimately not as important as the word "Human Emperor".
Li Changshou was in high spirits. He chanted softly and placed his left hand behind his back. He raised his right hand slightly in front of him and was about to give pointers …
"Elder? This white-robed elder? "
A rough voice sounded behind him. Seeing that Li Changshou ignored him, his voice became even more rude.
"Old man! Hey! I'm talking about you, old man! The one in white! Ganha! Do you want to jump off a building? "
Li Changshou turned around helplessly and looked at the burly man below. Then, he looked at the armored soldiers who had come to patrol and hurriedly retreated.
Vulgar.
He slid down the wooden ladder on the side and said with a smile, "General, this old man will look around from here. There will be too many people later and I won't be able to see the King."
The burly man muttered,
"Don't you know how old you are? What if he fell from such a height? Be obedient and wait for the King to arrive. The elders will naturally look forward.
Don't do anything, I'm warning you! Be careful of me if you use some blood to boost your luck! "
The robust man raised his broad axe and waved it. Then, he rolled his eyes and walked away with his hands behind his back.
Li Changshou nodded with a smile in his eyes.
From afar, he could hear a few young generals beside the burly man reporting the situation of the various preparations. They kept shouting "Commander E Lai".
Shaking his head, Li Changshou walked back to his hut with his hands behind his back, quietly waiting for the show to begin.
The Nuwa Temple was already on high alert. Such a grand event naturally attracted many mortals to watch the show. They gathered in the Nuwa Temple.
When they heard the sound of drums outside, everyone shouted for the King. Li Changshou, who had already changed into a gorgeous robe, walked out of the small wooden hut that the paper effigy often stayed in and walked towards the hall with his hands behind his back.
The soldiers looked at each other. When they saw that Li Changshou's paper effigy had an extraordinary aura and was extraordinary, they did not know where he came from. They hurriedly went to look for the boorish man from before.
"Hey, you!"
E Lai's eyes widened. He rushed over and blocked Li Changshou's path. He suppressed his voice and shouted anxiously, "What are you doing!?! The King is here. Is this a place for you to walk around? "
"This …"
"What about this!?!"
E Lai cursed, "Someone, carry him back!"
Li Changshou did not know whether to laugh or cry. Just as he was about to explain that he was the honorary abbot of this place and the host of the sacrificial ceremony today, he suddenly heard a soft voice from the side.
"Is … is it Lord Emissary!?!"
E Lai turned around. Li Changshou smiled calmly. He put his hands in his sleeves and stood quietly on the spot.
Not far away, an old official who had rushed over in advance to check the various arrangements ran over excitedly. He carefully stared at Li Changshou's paper effigy, who had a youthful face and white hair. He almost cried.
"Lord Emissary! It's really you! Why are you here?
E Lai, retreat!
What if you scare the old lord with your ferocious appearance!?! "
Li Changshou smiled and said, "It's Little Fang. After I left Chaoge City, I settled down here. I cultivated every day and lived for so many years."
"Ah, you still remember me. Thank you for your guidance back then, Lord. That's why I'm here today. Wait. I'll report to the King now!"
At that moment, the old official turned around and jogged to the front of the courtyard.
"Well?"
The silly commander looked down at Li Changshou and then at the old official's back. Then, he could only touch his bronze-colored head. He did not know why.
Not long after, he heard a few laughs. A middle-aged man in a black robe walked over. His face was filled with relief. When he saw Li Changshou, his eyes lit up.
He was naturally Di Xin today.
Li Changshou lowered his head and cupped his hands. "Greetings, Your Majesty."
"Hahahaha! Emissary, you're actually here! I've missed you for a long time! "
Di Xin strode forward with a large group of officials and generals following behind him.
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
He spoke as if they were very familiar with each other.
When they approached, the ministers greeted Li Changshou. Di Xin sighed and said, "Back then, you left without saying goodbye.
The Grand Preceptor and I have been sad for a long time. Today, I can see that you are still healthy. I'm at ease. "
Li Changshou smiled and said, "Ah, I'm already old. I can't help you plan and stabilize the world. I feel regretful."
Di Xin's eyes lit up, and his smile deepened.
"Why are you here, Emissary?"
Clearly, Wen Zhong said something to Di Xin.
Li Changshou sighed in his heart and said slowly, "I'm here to retire and be an abbot. The scenery here is beautiful and it's quite pleasant. Today, I'll be the abbot of the Great King's worship ceremony. From the looks of it, I can only let the other abbot come."
"Emissary, rest. Emissary, rest." Di Xin looked at the Goddess's Hall in front of him and smiled. "However, it's about worshiping the gods."
Li Changshou nodded with a smile and said, "Thank you for your understanding, Your Majesty."
Di Xin smiled and nodded. He did not say anything else and walked towards the hall. Li Changshou was surrounded by a few ministers and asked about his well-being.
At the side, Wu Lai pursed his lips and frowned. He silently raised his hand and pinched his mouth. He did not know what to say.
Li Changshou raised his hand and patted Wu Lai's arm. He praised, "Good fellow, you're strong enough."
Then, he walked away with a smile, allowing Wu Lai to laugh foolishly.
The small storm quickly calmed down. Li Changshou followed behind the ministers and entered the Goddess's Hall with Di Xin.
Another official abbot came to preside over the worship ceremony later.
Di Xin placed his hands behind his back and admired the exquisite murals on the walls on both sides of the hall under the interpretation of the ministers. The contents of the murals were scenes of Nuwa creating humans, Nuwa mending the heavens, and Nuwa bestowing blessings.
A 50-feet-tall jade statue of Nuwa stood in the middle of the hall. It emitted a faint jade glow, but its face and hair accessories were covered by white cloth.
The Goddess did not reveal her true appearance. This was the highest respect mortals had for the Goddess.
After Di Xin finished touring the hall, the old abbot asked if he should start the ceremony immediately. Di Xin said, "There's no need to go through too much trouble.
"There's no need to go through so much trouble. I'll just offer the offerings and pray to the Holy Mother."
The old abbot naturally did not dare to say anything. The ministers also knew the King's personality. They naturally would not talk too much about such trivial matters.
Not long after, armored soldiers carried over roasted cattle, sheep, fruits, and snacks. Di Xin took three incense sticks and bowed to the Goddess's statue with a solemn expression. He inserted the incense sticks into the incense burner.
Di Xin took a few steps back. An armored soldier beside him moved a soft cushion over. Then, Di Xin lifted the hem of his robe and led the officials, generals, and armored soldiers outside the hall to slowly kneel down.
At that moment, Li Changshou suddenly understood why Di Xin wanted to pay his respects to the Goddess's statue.
The female sacrifice team was excluded the entire time and could not participate in any steps. Di Xin's words of "everything should be simple" isolated the female sacrifice team and held the divine authority in his hands.
That step was really wonderful.
At this moment!
Li Changshou's ears twitched. He, who was praying to the Goddess's statue, suddenly raised his hand and pointed at Di Xin.
In a place that mortals could not see, a light purple light first flew towards Di Xin. However, as Li Changshou pointed, a light white halo appeared behind Di Xin and stabilized the light.
"Hm?"
Li Changshou squinted slightly. The paper effigy only knelt and did not move. His mind immediately shifted.
Outside the Goddess's Temple, an armored soldier frowned slightly. He raised his thumb and pressed it gently in the direction of the hall.
But this time, just as he was about to move, a large hand suddenly appeared and firmly pressed down on his wrist.
The armored soldier was stunned. He looked in the direction of the hand and saw an old Daoist priest in a green robe. His figure was faint and he had a smile on his face.
"Fellow Daoist, long time no see."
A cold smile appeared on the armored soldier's lips. His body twitched a few times and he fell weakly.
A wisp of light blue smoke spread out from the armored soldier's body and condensed into a faint figure that mortals could not see. He placed his hands behind his back and smiled at Li Changshou.
He was slightly plump, and his face could be described as plump. There was a faint smile on his lips.
Maitreya of the Western Sect.
"Fellow Daoist, you don't seem surprised to see me here?"
Li Changshou sighed and said, "I expected it. I just didn't expect it to be you. Fellow Daoist, you must have obtained the Heavenly Dao's permission to return to the world.
There's no need to ask about this.
However, I didn't expect your incarnation technique to be so crude. I can smell the rot on your body from 800 kilometers away. "
The corners of Maitreya's mouth twitched slightly. His eyes revealed a ferocious glint.
"You want to protect the King of Shang?"
Li Changshou smiled and did not say anything. The paper effigy was wrapped in a layer of mysterious Dao runes. However, it temporarily raised the paper effigy, which had a weak foundation, to the same level as Maitreya's incarnation.
In the next moment, the two faint figures disappeared at the same time!
A violent wind blew in Goddess Nuwa's Palace. Two white clouds, one black and one white, appeared in the sky. Outside Goddess Nuwa's Palace, two flickering light spots kept chasing and colliding. However, the aftershocks of the collision were wiped away.
As a result, the mortals kneeling in front of the hall of Goddess Nuwa's Palace did not notice such a strange phenomenon.
Li Changshou's paper effigy's Dharma powers were rapidly being consumed, but Maitreya was firmly stopped outside Goddess Nuwa's Palace. In a moment, he resolved the streams of light that he had pointed at Di Xin dozens of times.
In the hall, Di Xin had already begun to stand up. The officials and generals also slowly stood up. The worship had ended.
Maitreya knew that he had lost the opportunity. He snorted coldly and appeared with Li Changshou at the same time. However, they were in the mountains dozens of kilometers away from the Goddess's Temple.
Li Changshou smiled faintly. The paper effigy's Dharma powers had been exhausted.
Maitreya said calmly, "Li Changgeng, do you know whose orders I am under?"
"The answer is naturally self-evident since you can ask such a question," Li Changshou answered with his hands behind his back.
"Then, you still dare to do that?" Maitreya sneered and said, "Are you really not afraid that you will be in the same place as me previously?"
Li Changshou sighed and said, "I'm only protecting the Human Emperor. What you have done has already violated the Heavenly rules. Are you really not afraid of being devoured by the destiny of the human race?
You can complain about me when you're free. Wait and see who will be cleaned up. "
The corners of Maitreya's mouth twitched slightly. He did not say anything else. The incarnation dissipated with the wind, leaving behind only one sentence.
"Li Changgeng, I and you will naturally settle our scores."
Li Changshou pursed his lips. "I'll wait for you at any time."
Maitreya has actually become a secret pawn of the Heavenly Dao?
If I block Maitreya, wouldn't Di Xin complete the worship normally and not do anything like "inscribing a poem"?
Is the Great God-Conferment Tribulation so easy to change?
If the one who attacked was the Western Sect or the Heavenly Dao, why would they only make such a simple arrangement and let Maitreya cause trouble? They would completely ignore him, an ordinary minister of the Celestial Court …
Li Changshou was filled with doubts. Just as he was about to turn around and look at the Goddess's Palace, he shifted his attention back to the 'official' paper effigy not far from Di Xin. His Dao heart suddenly trembled for no reason.
Ang …
A hurried and illusory roar sounded. Li Changshou's paper effigy in the forest suddenly looked up at the sky.
There, the Human Emperor's Golden Dragon of Destiny raised its head and roared. It bared its fangs and brandished its claws, as if it wanted to soar into the sky. However, its huge body was fixed on the cloud and could not move at all.
Li Changshou's eyes shone brightly. He saw a black light descending from the sky.
In the hall of the Goddess's Temple, Di Xin, who was about to walk out of the hall, stopped for no reason. He placed his hands behind his back and turned to look at the Goddess's jade statue.
"Why did Goddess Nuwa cover her face?"
…
In the forest outside the temple, Li Changshou was silent at first. His gaze was extremely complicated. Soon, a self-deprecating smile appeared on his lips. His body was engulfed by the flames and the ashes dissipated with the wind.
Has the Heavenly Dao become so unrestrained that it has no qualms about taking action?
It was unheard of for the Golden Dragon of Destiny to be fixed.
Di Xin suddenly became "interested". He had never seen it before.
Mortal emperors and mortal human emperors could be so wantonly manipulated by the Heavenly Dao. They did not even want to go through the formalities. After Maitreya failed, he directly left …
Why didn't the Dao Ancestor appear?
Or could it be that this is something that the Dao Ancestor had instructed?
How could the old man lying at the bottom of the lake in the Fire Cloud Cave sleep peacefully?
How could the Celestial Court, which was given power by the Heavenly Dao, be called "righteous" in the future?
Li Changshou had imagined all sorts of situations. He had thought that Zhun Ti would attack again. He had thought that Di Xin's personality would change bit by bit after being the King for so many years. He had thought …
He did not expect that he would use the simplest method to complete the script that was essentially nothingness.
He did not want to see what happened next.
How could the Heavenly Dao be balanced?
The Primordial World was really … too dangerous.
