In the palace of Zhaoge City, the Nine-tailed Demon Fox was trying to seduce King Zhou while improving her cultivation. However, she had forgotten about the Pipa Spirit who was waiting for her news in the Xuanyuan Tomb. After months of waiting, the Pipa Spirit was worried that the Nine-tailed Demon Fox might be in danger. Therefore, she turned into a human and traveled to Zhaoge City.
The Great Desolation was the world of the Human Tribe, and there were many warriors who practiced Taoism. The Pipa Spirit was just a Little Goblin, so she did not dare to ride a demon cloud to Zhaoge City. Fortunately, she had the Pure Qi of Fate from Nüwa, so she dared to walk in the human world. As long as she did not use her demon magic in front of those who had achieved Taoism, no one would be able to tell her origin.
However, the Pipa Spirit did not forget to ask about the Nine-tailed Demon Fox. After learning that the Demon Empress Su Daji had caused chaos in the imperial court, the Pipa Spirit guessed that Su Daji was most likely her sister, the Nine-tailed Demon Fox. Therefore, she planned to seek refuge with the Nine-tailed Demon Fox. She had not even stepped into the Immortal Realm. If she could get the help of the Fate and resources of the Human Tribe, her cultivation would improve rapidly and she would reach the Immortal Realm soon.
Unfortunately, the Pipa Spirit was unlucky. When she arrived at Zhaoge City, she was shocked by the prosperity of the city. Later, she saw a fortune-telling place, so she went to join in the fun. However, she did not expect that the fortune-telling business was conducted by Jiang Ziya. At first glance, Jiang Ziya did not know the origin of the Pipa Spirit. After all, the Pipa Spirit was covered by the Pure Qi of Fate from Nüwa.
However, the Pipa Spirit chose to let Jiang Ziya read her palm. Although she turned into a human due to the Pure Qi of Fate, her palm was not the palm of a human. Therefore, Jiang Ziya immediately saw through her. Therefore, Jiang Ziya pinched the Pipa Spirit's Cun, Guan, and Chi meridians and sealed the Pipa Spirit's Dantian so that she could not escape.
Jiang Ziya grabbed the hand of a beautiful woman and did not let go, which naturally caused the crowd to criticize him. In the end, Ya Bi Gan passed by and explained the matter to King Zhou. After King Zhou heard about it, he went to the newly built Zhai Xing Lou to see Jiang Ziya get rid of the demon. Naturally, the Nine-tailed Demon Fox, who almost never left King Zhou's side, accompanied him.
When the Nine-tailed Demon Fox saw that her sister Pipa Spirit had been captured, she was also worried. However, she could not plead for Pipa Spirit in public. She could only watch as Jiang Ziya burned Pipa Spirit back to her original form with the True Samadhi Fire. However, Pipa Spirit was lucky. Fortunately, she was saved by the Pure Qi of Creation given by Nüwa. The Nine-tailed Demon Fox asked King Zhou for the jade pipa as a collection.
Jiang Ziya was also given the title of Imperial Astronomer for his meritorious service in eliminating the demon. The Nine-tailed Demon Fox also hated Jiang Ziya and wanted to avenge Pipa Spirit. Pipa Spirit was placed on the top of Zhai Xing Lou to absorb the essence of the sun and the moon. She also drank a bowl of human blood every day to recover her vitality and wait for the day of her rebirth.
Unfortunately, Jiang Ziya's official fate did not last long. The Nine-tailed Demon Fox wanted to avenge Pipa Spirit and made things difficult for Jiang Ziya. In the end, Jiang Ziya had no choice but to abandon his official position and escape. When he returned home, Jiang Ziya told his wife, Ma, that he had offended King Zhou. He wanted to take Ma and escape from Zhaoge. Ma was shocked when she heard it.
While Jiang Ziya was packing his luggage, Ma took out an old sachet from her waist. She opened it and took out a piece of silk cloth. The words "Leave Zhaoge with your husband and enjoy eternal wealth" were written on it. Ma thought for a long time and finally made up her mind to escape from Zhaoge with Jiang Ziya. Not long after they left, some soldiers came, but there was nothing.
On the way to escape, Mrs. Ma did not cry. After all, Jiang Ziya had become an immortal, and he could take care of Mrs. Ma. Mrs. Ma saw that Jiang Ziya took good care of her, and she regretted her decision. Moreover, the comments in the sachet were given by an immortal, and she had been living in the comments all her life, so Mrs. Ma had to believe it.
Since King Zhou was tyrannical, most of the people of the Shang Dynasty fled to other vassals. Among them, Xiqi accepted the most refugees. Jiang Ziya felt that there was a wise ruler in Xiqi, so he took Ma all the way to Xiqi. However, the border guards did not let them pass. Jiang Ziya used the Underground Traveling Skill to take Ma and hundreds of refugees through the border of the Shang Dynasty and directly arrived at the boundary of Xiqi.
After arriving at Xiqi, Jiang Ziya asked around and heard that Shen Gongbao, whom he felt like an old friend at first sight, was an official in Xiqi. Shen Gongbao had a good reputation and was deeply trusted by the officials and people of Xiqi. Now he came to this unfamiliar place with his wife and family. If he was alone, he could just find a place to live in the mountains. However, he could not do that now. He had not seen Shen Gongbao for many years, so he could go to him.
Besides, Shen Gongbao was indeed very resourceful. Although he did not know how to manage the government, he was proficient in all kinds of magic, such as divination, summoning clouds and rain, and subduing demons and monsters. Therefore, Bo Yikao trusted him very much. In just one or two years, Shen Gongbao had become the State Preceptor. However, Shen Gongbao was also smart. He was not involved in the government, but was only responsible for solving problems for Xiqi.
He was deeply loved by the people of Xiqi. The Great Desolation was so big that although the human tribe only occupied more than half of it, it was immeasurably vast. As one of the four vassals of the Shang Dynasty, Marquis of the West Count Ji Chang's fief was not small. Although the fief of Marquis of the West Count was called Xiqi, it was because the capital city was called Xiqi. Under Xiqi, there were many cities.
With Shen Gongbao's strength, how could he take care of such a big Xiqi? For this reason, Shen Gongbao invited many disciples and friends to come to Xiqi. Among them, there were many capable people who knew Tongxuan or had secret treasures. When Bo Yikao saw that Shen Gongbao had introduced so many capable people to him, he was naturally overjoyed and appointed them as officials.
In front of the State Preceptor's Mansion, Jiang Ziya took Mrs. Ma here. Looking at the extraordinary Mansion of State Preceptor, Mrs. Ma asked worriedly, "Husband, do you really want to go in? Now that Shen Gongbao has become the State Preceptor, his status is prominent. You two have only known each other for a few days. How could he care about you now? "
Jiang Ziya said with a smile, "My wife, you are just a woman's opinion. Brother Shen and I felt like old friends at first sight. If it weren't for the wind, we might have become brothers in the same sect. Now that I have come to join him, how could he not want to see me? Brother Shen's temperament is extraordinary. If you don't believe me, you will know when I go and see him."
Jiang Ziya walked to the front of the Mansion of State Preceptor and was stopped by a guard. The guard asked, "Who are you? Why do you come to the State Preceptor's Mansion?" Jiang Ziya cupped one hand in the other before his chest and said, "Please report to your State Preceptor that an old friend, Jiang Ziya, has come to visit with his wife." When the guard heard that the visitor was Shen Gongbao's old friend, he did not dare to neglect him and immediately went into the mansion to report to Shen Gongbao.
In the garden, Shen Gongbao had nothing to do, so he was divining under the pavilion. Suddenly, he saw a divination, which meant great luck. Shen Gongbao pinched his fingers and divined. An old friend comes to visit. Who is he? " At this time, the guard came over and reported respectfully, "State Preceptor, there is a man outside who claims to be your old friend. He said his name is Jiang Ziya."
When Shen Gongbao heard this, his face lit up with joy. Back then, they met again in Tu. Although there was a difference between humans and demons, Jiang Ziya did not treat him as an enemy. They felt like old friends when they met and talked happily. Unfortunately, they were separated by a strong wind. At first, Shen Gongbao was worried about Jiang Ziya's safety. Later, when he heard that Jiang Ziya had become a disciple of Heavenly Lord Yuanshi, he was relieved.
Later, Shen Gongbao devoted himself to cultivation. Although he had the opportunity to travel outside, the two sects were different. Jiang Ziya had been staying in the Kunlun Mountain, so Shen Gongbao did not want to disturb him. In the blink of an eye, 40 years had passed. Now that his old friend came to visit him, how could Shen Gongbao not be happy? He immediately stood up and walked out to meet Jiang Ziya in person.
In front of the gate, Jiang Ziya looked calm, but Mrs. Ma looked worried. At this time, a burst of hearty laughter came from inside the gate. "Hahaha, today I got a divination and knew that an old friend came to visit. I didn't expect that it would be Brother Jiang. Sorry for not going out to meet you. Please forgive me." Shen Gongbao walked out quickly and said with a smile.
