I have a relic of heaven

Chapter 214: The Kings' Dispute, Bajie Buddha
Ancient building.

Xu Xian, Chu Yaowu and Lengmiannu sat there obediently, watching their noses and their hearts.

Yin Muying had already quietly retreated, and Zhou Mu was sitting at the table, stroking the jade book.

The porcelain doll hesitated for a moment and cast a puzzled look:
"Brother Dao, you just..."

Zhou Mu did not answer directly. He turned around and looked at Luo Shuangyu and the other two:

"You guys go to the back room and rest."

There were also several quiet rooms in the ancient building. Luo Shuangyu and the other two quickly stood up, not daring to ask any questions. They bowed and went to the quiet room.

When the door closed, Nezha came forward:

"Brother Dao, what is your intention in directing and acting in this play?"

Zhou Mu stroked his long beard and said with a smile:

"You can't really investigate it step by step, right? Taking some unconventional methods may not have any miraculous effects."

After a pause, he explained in detail:

"I shattered the phantom of the green lamp. The people in Wuwang City could not figure out my intentions and did not dare to act rashly. What's more, what I said was just to get back Bo Ju's eyes. I did not intend to settle accounts with them. They will naturally return the eyes to me."

Nezha frowned:

“But this can’t reveal the truth.”

"I know."

Zhou Mu said calmly:
"If what Ju Jun said is correct, the matter of Bai Ju involved too many True Kings. If I want to settle the accounts - let's not say that I don't have the ability to do so."

"Even if there is, those True Kings will certainly be defeated, things will become very troublesome, and we may not be able to find the real leader."

As he spoke, Zhou Mu looked down at the Jade Book. He had just used up six words, and there were still ninety-four words left to use. Unfortunately, most of these words were not for attacking. They were good for scaring people, but not for killing enemies.
Shaking his head, Zhou Mu continued:
"When the kings return Bo Ju's eyes, I may be able to use them to deduce the cause and effect, at least I can find out who wore them. It's better than running around like a headless fly."

The porcelain doll was thoughtful:
"Brother Dao's intention is not to express the intention of settling accounts first, but to find the eyes and then trace the cause and effect of the eyes."

After a pause, he continued:

"It is a method, but you said you knew those little guys, but they don't know you. Will this work?"

Zhou Mu waved his hand and said with a smile:

"The more mysterious and weird I am, the more fearful they will be. The kings will try to guess who I am, but they will never be able to guess it. That is why they are afraid of me."

Nezha understood:

"What if something unexpected happens? Those little guys are not weak. I took a look and saw many [Daluo Zuqi]. If a direct conflict occurs, Brother Dao, this Jade Book..."

He came forward and took a closer look. With his knowledge, he naturally understood the purpose of this book. He shook his head:
"It is mysterious enough, but in terms of killing ability, it is not strong. If you want to kill a True King, you need to make all kinds of plans and use every word to the limit."

Zhou Mu smiled:
"I know that, so next, we need to win over some of the True Kings."

"Coaxing?"

"Well, someone will come to visit, but before that, I still need to make more preparations, at least to prepare for the worst."

As he spoke, Zhou Mu lowered his eyes, his gaze was deep, he stroked his jade ring, then raised his head and stared at the dome of the ancient building.

It also seemed as if it was gazing at the vast [Abyss] above the ancient building that sealed the [Golden-Winged Roc].

………………

Tongtian Tower.

Wang Chonghe stood in the corner with his neck shrunk. He was in a daze at the moment, looking at one legendary sage after another arguing endlessly.

"The general idea of the matter is clear now."

An old True King coughed and said:
"It's the price of the wrong thing that happened back then, and it's coming to me."

The old True King looked around and said in a low voice:
"I said at the beginning that Bai Ju was innocent, but you all lost your moral principles for the sake of a Yama Palace!"

Qi Bo pursed his lips and shook his head.

"Bai Ju is a man who has not been famous for many years. Who knows his character? It is the best choice to let a person of high moral character take charge of Yama Palace. Everything is for the sake of the human race, even if it means sacrificing morality!"

The kings started arguing about what was right and wrong. The King of Qin, who had been in charge of the government for a thousand years, sat on the throne and said:

"okay!"

The arguments died down, and the King of Qin looked around and said in a deep voice:
"The man in the building is not here to settle accounts, but to get his eyes back. There are too many hidden secrets in what happened back then, and we still don't know who wants to take Bo Ju's eyes. There are two questions at the moment - first, where is the eye, and second, who is that person?"

The kings looked at each other in bewilderment.

King Wu, who was sitting on the throne, frowned:

"According to what Su Daji said, the old man claimed to be a fellow disciple of Bai Ju. Could he be one of Laozi's ten students?"

Yan Hui shook his head:

"I know all of Laozi's students. They are not the old man Wu Wang. Does he seem to be familiar with you?"

King Wu waved his hand:

"I certainly don't know him, never saw him - perhaps he has a different face?"

The palace fell into silence, and King Qin frowned:
"A mysterious sage. Among those who returned from the blood sacrifices, there doesn't seem to be such a person. Is it possible that he is an ancient being who has lived through the apocalypse since ancient times?"

The kings were silent, and their expressions changed slightly.

King Qin hesitated for a moment and continued:

"Also, Su Daji, let me ask you, where are Bai Ju's eyes right now? Don't say you don't know!"

The kings looked at Su Daji who was standing there. Her face was still a little pale and she pursed her lips and said nothing.

for a long time.

"I know." Qi Bo sighed and said, "Don't ask any more questions. I will go get the eyes."

King Wu snorted:
"Qi Bo, you were heavily implicated in the injustice committed by Bai Ju, but you were not the mastermind. Tell me, who was it back then?"

Qi Bo frowned:

"I also want to ask King Wu, do you know that old man? Or are you pretending not to know him?"

In terms of seniority, Qi Bo was above King Wu, and even the oldest in the palace. He had followed the Emperor and witnessed the Battle of Zhuolu.

Therefore, even though King Wu was one of the five great rulers, he was not afraid at all.

King Wu was angry:
"Qi Bo, I haven't even come to you to settle the score for what happened to my brother!"

'Om! '

The Human Emperor Sword was suddenly unsheathed, and the sword light chilled the entire Tongtian Tower. However, Qi Bo did not retreat but advanced instead, holding the Shennong Whip in his hand, and looked at him coldly:

"Don't use the Human Emperor Sword against me again. When I followed the Yellow Emperor and entrusted him with the Human Emperor Sword, your great ancestor, Ji Fa, was not even born yet!"

He was particularly tough today, staring at the sword energy of the Emperor of Humanity and moving forward, with a look of rage:
"You want to question me? Ji Fa, you are not qualified. Even if your father returns from reincarnation, he should respectfully call me the ancestor! When do you think the word Qi in Xiqi originated?"

The hall was suddenly in chaos. Duke Zhou and Yan Hui stood behind King Wu. Mozi stepped forward and stood beside Qi Bo.

Seeing the tension between the two sides, the King of Qin rubbed his forehead and said:
"Alright, stop the internal strife! Qi Bo, you are the ancestor, King Wu, you are also the ruler, why are you so out of control?"

Qi Bo snorted, put his hands behind his back and turned around, saying:

"Let's finish today's work! I will go get Bo Ju's eyes!"

He drifted away.

The hall was silent. King Wu put away the Emperor Sword and looked at King Qin calmly:
"King Qin, your act of protecting Qi Bo has gone too far. There is something wrong with Qi Bo."

The King of Qin lowered his eyelids:

"For the past thousand years, I have been in power. I have my own plans and decisions. However, King Wu, you are too angry. Don't harbor selfish thoughts because of Qin's replacement of Zhou!"

King Wu laughed in anger and turned to leave. Duke Zhou and Yan Hui followed him. An old True King in the hall raised his eyelids, snorted, and followed him out. The old True King left a sentence:
"King Wu is right. King Qin, you are in charge of the government, but what kind of person have you become? King Wu has a broad mind, so how could he care about the so-called Qin replacing Zhou? To be honest, what does the destruction of Zhou have to do with Qin?"

After a while, the old True King stopped at the palace gate, turned around and sneered:

"The King of Qin has been targeting me over the years. Is he holding a grudge against me because I conquered Qin? Pah!"

This old true king actually spat at the high-ranking King Qin, like a country barbarian, and then walked away in a huff.

The King of Qin stood up in anger:
"Liu Bang!"

There was a slight commotion in the hall, and both Princes Tang and Ming spoke to appease the crowd. Wang Chonghe in the corner was no longer as reserved as he was at the beginning, but instead watched with great interest. He glanced at the saliva that the King of Han spat on the ground, which was glowing with fairy light.

The kings suddenly turned their heads and stared at him.

Wang Chonghe's expression froze.

"There is also this one, the one favored by the master of the green lantern." A certain True King who had been silent all this time opened his eyes, pondered for a moment, and said:
"King Qin, you should calm down and focus on the business first. The King of Han has been acting like this all the time."

The King of Qin still looked cold, and the King of Ming also advised:
"The spy from the Southern Demon Dynasty has sent a message that some living creatures from the Demon Dynasty are coming to visit. King Qin, let me tell you, with the enemy at hand, you should calm down for a while and stop fighting among yourselves!"

The King of Qin looked a little better:
"I was going to mention this matter. From what I know, the envoys coming are not just from the Southern Demon Dynasty, and they may not even be visiting."

After a pause, he continued:

"I suggest that there may be a disaster this time, and it is also the time when Kunlun Ruins is about to open, plus there is the unknown person entrenched in the library."

"Perhaps it is time to invite back one or two of the Four Masters of Kunlun?"

The kings looked grim, and King Tang flatly objected:

"The four masters of Kunlun all acted in an extreme way, which I don't think is appropriate."

The King of Qin said directly:

"The Overlord has lost his love, the Giant King has fallen into the devil's way, and General Chongtian is at odds with you, the King of Tang, and has a strong murderous nature - how about we lead Emperor Xin into the city?"

Ming Wang frowned:

"King Qin, this is indeed inappropriate. Emperor Xin and King Wu will fight to kill each other when they meet."

"No problem."

The King of Qin made the decision directly:

"With Su Daji here, Emperor Xin can calm down a bit, and Emperor Xin is the strongest among us, isn't he?"

"Moreover"

The King of Qin slowed down his tone and said slowly:
"King Wu is becoming more and more unruly. Why wouldn't it be good to have Emperor Xin to check and balance him?"

The kings looked at each other in bewilderment, while Wang Chonghe shrank his neck and eavesdropped frantically.

………………

Side hall.

"Sir." Qi Bo softly recounted what happened today, and then said: "The Eye of Bo Ju..."

The man shrouded in fog pondered for a moment and said:

"Then return it to him. Kunlun Ruins will be opened soon, so it's better to avoid trouble. When you go to return the eye, try to win over the unknown person."

As he spoke, the mist on his body thinned a little, and vaguely, one could see him reaching out his hand and digging out his eyes.

Qi Bo took it respectfully with both eyes:
"I will do it, sir. You should recover first."

“Hmm.” The unknown person named [Right Hand] nodded, and the mist on his body gradually thickened and then became blurry again.

………………

Southern Dynasty.

There are countless brilliances in the sky.

"Maitreya Temple, Pure Light Bodhisattva, come as promised!"

"Leiyin Temple, Tongshan Bodhisattva, come as promised!"

Two huge figures walked over, with Buddha's light shining brightly. They seemed to be at odds with each other and did not look at each other, but they had something in common - each of them held a blood-stained shroud in his hand.

Inside the shroud, there seemed to be an unknown corpse lying.

"The underworld on earth, come as promised!" Another true king came, his figure blurry and his ghostly aura eerie.

"Northern Dynasty." The last voice came from the north, a ray of sunlight shone down, accompanied by cry.

"Northern Dynasty, Golden Crow, come as promised." The three-legged divine bird descended, and the entire Southern Dynasty capital became extremely hot.
Every living creature in the city was lying on the ground, in excruciating pain from the burns, yet they dared not move.

"Mixed-haired bird, are you worthy of being called Golden Crow?"

A sneer was heard, and the four True Kings looked over, their expressions suddenly changing.

A creature with a pig's head came over, wearing Buddhist robes and carrying a nine-toothed rake, staggering:

"I am Old Pig. You all know me, right? Especially you two."

He pointed at the Bodhisattvas of Pure Light and Copper Mountain. The two Bodhisattvas holding the unknown corpse changed color and bowed:
"We have met Bajie Buddha!"

"Don't shout Bajie Buddha, I prefer the Altar Purifier." The pig-headed Buddha carrying the nine-toothed rake said calmly:
"Okay, now that everyone is gathered, let's go to the Five Kings City."

………………

into the night.

Ancient building.

'puff! '

Zhou Mu coughed up a mouthful of blood, and Bai Ju said worriedly:
"Teacher, you"

The fairy turtle raised his head:
"Teacher, the karma on you is getting heavier. It is not advisable to tamper with history."

The porcelain doll beside him nodded, while Tianpeng, who looked like a little suckling pig, was sleeping soundly.

Zhou Mu nodded tiredly:

"I know, but it's no big deal. I have Qingdeng with me. The backlash of karma won't crush me. I'm just injured."

He returned to the treasury four more times, for a total of 120 years, but not once did he succeed in making the methods left by Confucius remain to this day.

The time gap is too long.

"It's troublesome"

With a sigh, Zhou Mu collected his thoughts and temporarily gave up the idea of returning to the ancient storage room. He decided to wait and see.
An idea came to him, and he was about to concentrate and try to serve as the City God of Five Kings City - Five Kings City is not an ordinary city, and it would be troublesome to be its City God.

Just as Zhou Mu was slowly merging his own divine position with the Five Kings City,

His expression suddenly changed, and he stopped reading. He opened the jade book and looked towards the gate.

The next moment, there was a knock on the door.

'Tuk tuk tuk'

Zhou Mu waved his sleeves, the door opened, and a man wearing a bamboo hat walked in and closed the door casually.

The next moment, he took off his bamboo hat and said in a gentle voice:

"King Tang, Li Shimin, has come to visit specially."

A smile broke out on Zhou Mu’s face. As expected, what he had been waiting for finally came!
He slowly retracted the phoenix energy that had been lingering on his body.

"What is the purpose of your visit, King Tang?"

Zhou Mu turned the jade ring and asked calmly. Beside him, incense was burning and green smoke was rising. The smoke seemed to form a real phoenix.

King Tang remained silent, but a trace of phoenix aura was lingering around his body!
