Honghuang: Eat a Hunyuan Daluo

Chapter 262: The Three Gods Descend the Mountain Together, Brother and Sister Enter Chaoge

Wen Zhong said slowly: "Your Majesty, the troubles of the Shang Dynasty are internal corruption and the decline of people's livelihood; external separatist states and barbarian invasions. If you want to revive the Shang Dynasty, you must first rectify the administration and improve people's livelihood, and then conquer the outside world and pacify the princes."

After hearing this, Lin Xin was overjoyed and said, "Sir, you are right. I am willing to take you as my prime minister to assist me in implementing the reform."

Wen Zhong shook his head and said, "The king and I have no relationship as monarch and subject. Let's not talk about this matter anymore."

Lin Xin sighed upon hearing this, but did not force Wen Zhong any further.

After that, Lin Xin often discussed state affairs with Wen Zhong and listened to Wen Zhong's suggestions with an open mind. Lin Xin also began to rectify the administration of officials and severely punish corrupt officials. Thanks to Lin Xin's efforts, the situation of the Shang Dynasty gradually improved and there were signs of revival.

Lin Xin was the king of the Shang Dynasty, so it was impossible for him to stay in Wendao Mountain forever. Half a year later, Lin Xin bid farewell to Wen Zhong and returned to Chaoge.

At the same time, on the fairy island of Yingzhou.

Zhao Gongming came to the island after a long absence to look for his sisters.

The body-building technique that Zhao Gongming mainly practices is the "Nine Revolutions Hunyuan Jue" which is derived from the "Nine Revolutions Profound Art". He has now reached the middle stage of the eighth revolution, and his physical strength corresponds to the middle stage of Hunyuan Golden Immortal.

In comparison, Zhao Gongming's magic power is weaker, only at the late stage of Daluo Jinxian.

As soon as Zhao Gongming arrived on the island, the three sisters all felt something.

"Sister, it must be my brother who is here." Qiong Xiao opened his eyes and said slowly.

"I know. If you calculate the time, we sisters have been in seclusion in the dojo for 13,000 years. Half of the time was spent practicing in the time field. We have basically reached the limit of our cultivation. So let's come out!"

Before Qiong Xiao could say anything, Bi Xiao cheered and flew out of the dojo.

Yunxiao and Qiongxiao were quite helpless about their sister's character. They shook their heads at the same time and flew out of the dojo together.

The three sisters came to Zhao Gongming and bowed at the same time: "Greetings, brother."

"You don't have to be polite, my three sisters. It's been many years since we last met. Your cultivation has improved a lot!" Zhao Gongming sighed.

During the 200 years that Sanxiao spent, half of it was in seclusion in the time field, which is more than million years.

In more than 200 million years, Yunxiao had deduced % of his self-created avenue and broke through to the peak of Hunyuan Golden Immortal, which was even better than Bai Jing had expected.

At this time, Yunxiao had just broken through, and an illusory Taoist aura surrounded his body. The Yunxiao here seemed fake, giving people an illusion.

Qiong Xiao comprehended 65% of the Great Way of Water and broke through to the middle stage of Hunyuan Golden Immortal.

Bixiao also killed the evil corpse and reached the middle stage of quasi-saint.

"Thank you for your praise, brother. By the way, is there something you want to talk to us about?" Yunxiao asked after restraining some of his Taoist aura.

Zhao Gongming said solemnly, "I heard from my master before that the Conferred God Calamity is also a great calamity for the human world, and this calamity will start from the human world. Right now, the Shang Dynasty is thriving, so I want to go to Chaoge, the capital of the Shang Dynasty, to check the situation and find the person destined to have the flying bear vision.

It just so happens that I haven’t seen my three sisters for more than 10,000 years, so I thought of going to the human world with my three sisters. What do you think, my three sisters?”

Yunxiao thought about it and felt that after years of seclusion, he really needed to relax, so he nodded and agreed: "Yunxiao is willing to go with you, brother."

Qiong Xiao also said: "If you don't mind my trouble, I'd like to go with you."

"Go down the mountain to the human world?" Bi Xiao blinked his eyes, feeling yearning: "I have heard from sister Yueyue that there are many interesting things in the human world that are different from the heaven and the Holy Lotus Sect. Brother, I want to go too."

Seeing that the three sisters all agreed, Zhao Gongming smiled slightly, waved his hand, and a fairy boat appeared out of thin air.

"The Mortal Dynasty is protected by the destiny of humanity, so we should not rashly tear through the void. This immortal boat was refined by my senior brother Taoist Duobao, so let's take it!"

The three sisters nodded and boarded the fairy boat with Zhao Gongming.

The fairy boat flew all the way to Chaoge, the capital of the Shang Dynasty.

Chaoge, as the capital of the Shang Dynasty, was expanded several times and became the largest capital of the Shang Dynasty. It was situated on the land with great power and was protected by the destiny of humanity, and it prospered to the extreme.

The City of Chaoge is square, with four city gates in the east, west, south and north. Each gate is a hundred feet high and twenty feet thick, rising from the ground, blocking the sky and the earth, and emitting a terrifying aura!
Yun Xiao on the Immortal Boat couldn't help but sigh: "In this Chaoge City, there is a human destiny, and the human flame is burning in the sky. If cultivators below the level of Saint enter, they will be greatly suppressed. I'm afraid our Immortal Boat can't fly in."

"Then let's go in!" After saying that, Zhao Gongming took the lead and got off the fairy boat.

The three Xiaos hurriedly followed.

At the East City Gate, Zhao Gongming and Sanxiao looked relaxed, talking and laughing as they walked to the city gate.

At the city gate, two teams of soldiers in armor were doing routine inspections. A burly, strong soldier stepped forward and said, "One man, three women, forty copper coins in total."

"Brother, what is this copper coin?" Bixiao asked in a voice transmission.

"The currencies used by mortals for transactions include seashells and copper shells. Since seashells are relatively rare in the human world, their value is higher than that of copper shells. Copper shells were made of copper by the kings of the Shang Dynasty. Their image is similar to that of copper coins made of seashells. There is a toll to enter the city of Chaoge, ten copper shells per person, regardless of whether you are an adult or a child," Zhao Gongming explained.

Bixiao suddenly understood what was going on. She looked around and confirmed the shape of the copper shells. Then she conjured up 40 copper shells and handed them over.

After the four people entered the city, even Yunxiao, who was usually calm, felt dazed when he saw the prosperity of Chaoge City.

Today, Chaoge is still at its peak, with straight and flat roads, busy traffic, bustling crowds, and people wearing rough and clean cloth, with smiles on their faces. Although life may not be that good, it is obvious that food and clothing can be satisfied, and being able to satisfy food and clothing, no matter at any time or in any dynasty, can be regarded as a prosperous age.

The four of them wandered around Chaoge City, during which time Zhao Gongming bought several small gifts for Yunxiao, Qiongxiao, and Bixiao respectively. At the same time, Zhao Gongming was also inquiring about the general situation of the Shang Dynasty at that time.

Soon Zhao Gongming learned that the current king was Lin Xin, the King of Shang. During the first few years of Lin Xin's reign, there were wars all year round and the people were living in misery.

In recent years, he has implemented benevolent policies, reduced corvee labor, encouraged land reclamation, reduced criminal laws, and shown kindness to the people, earning him a very good reputation among the people.

"Brother, why do you want to know which emperor is in power? Does this have something to do with the catastrophe?" Bixiao asked.

"Little sister, haven't you heard this saying? Know yourself and know your enemy, and you can fight a hundred battles without danger."

"So, brother, where are we going next?"

Zhao Gongming pondered for a while, then said slowly: "This time we will not stay in Chaoge for a short time, let's find a place to settle down temporarily."

Zhao Gongming and his companions walked around Chaoge City, looked for a few brokers, and finally bought a small building with the copper shells that Bixiao had transformed.

Bixiao has Luobao Money in her hand, so the copper coins she turns out are real copper coins, but those turned out by others may not be the same.

"Sister, why do you like this small building? I think the yard over there is nice!" Zhao Gongming asked.

"Brother, aren't we going to find the destined person of Feixiong? Why don't we use this small building to set up a stall?" After saying that, Yunxiao raised his hand and the small building changed. A plaque appeared on the top of the building and read: Tianji Pavilion.

A couplet appeared on the left and right sides:
First couplet: The yin and yang in the hexagram predict good or bad luck, destiny can be changed,
Second line: The universe in the palm of your hand can predict good and bad luck, and your fortune can be changed.

Horizontal banner: Seek good fortune and avoid misfortune.

Bixiao looked at the couplet on the small building, then turned to Yunxiao and asked, "Sister, are you going to learn from the Great Purity Saint and use the way of yin and yang to spy on the fate of mortals?"

Yunxiao shook his head and said, "I don't know the way of yin and yang, but when I went down to the mortal world to assist the emperor, I learned the innate eight trigrams from the emperor Fuxi. This method can also be used to peek into the fate of mortals."

Zhao Gongming suddenly realized what was going on: "Sister, you want to use fortune-telling to attract the people of Chaoge. If there is someone with the appearance of a flying bear among them, you can recruit him into your army."

"That's right, big brother, although you don't understand the Xiantian Bagua, you do understand some of the Yin-Yang principles of the Taiqing Saint, right?"

Zhao Gongming nodded: "The Three Pure Ones are of the same origin. I am the direct disciple of the Shangqing Saint, so I know a little bit."

"Then you and I will tell fortunes here for one day each!"

"Alright."

The next day, Tianji Pavilion officially opened, and Zhao Gongming, as the elder brother, naturally became the pavilion master.

On the first day of Tianji Pavilion’s opening, it attracted a large number of people’s attention outside the building.

"The yin and yang in the hexagrams predict fortune and misfortune, and destiny can be changed? This is too arrogant. Destiny cannot be defied. I wonder where this liar came from." An old man said.

"You are really arrogant. As far as I know, those who have the ability to avoid misfortune and seek good fortune are those who have received the true teachings of the Heavenly Emperor Fuxi's Xiantian Bagua. Even the king would worship them. How could they tell our fortunes here?"

"That's true. You'd better not go in to avoid being cheated."

On the first day, everyone stood outside the building and did not move forward. Most of their words were filled with disdain and disbelief, and no one entered the building.

Upstairs, Zhao Gongming didn't care, but Bi Xiao was a little unhappy: "A bunch of mortals, not knowing the true immortals, how foolish."

Yunxiao raised his hand and nodded Bixiao's forehead, saying, "After so many years of cultivation, you are still like this. How can this be possible? Don't worry, don't force it. What is supposed to come will come."

On the second day, still no one came, but the discussion about Tianji Pavilion increased further!

On the third day, a middle-aged man stopped for a long time, gritted his teeth, and walked into the Tianji Pavilion.

Inside the building, Bixiao was bored. When he saw someone coming in, his eyes suddenly lit up and he quickly stood up to greet him: "Sir, please come in. I am the Tianji Pavilion, which predicts everything. If you have any questions, just speak up."

The middle-aged man was confused, "I have something I want to ask the Pavilion Master to help me calculate, but my family is not very rich and I don't have many copper coins, so I don't know."

Bi Xiao smiled slightly when he heard this and said, "You are the first guest since the opening of my Tianji Pavilion. I won't charge you any money. Please follow me upstairs."

Hearing that no money was charged, the dejected look on the middle-aged man's face disappeared, his eyes brightened, and he hurriedly said, "Please lead the way, fairy."

Upstairs, Zhao Gongming also became more serious. After three days of opening, customers finally came.

Soon, the middle-aged man came upstairs, and Zhao Gongming asked with a smile, "You are the first guest of Tianji Pavilion. We don't charge any money. What do you want? Please tell me."

The middle-aged man heard this and said respectfully: "My name is Lu Renjia, I am twenty-five this year, and I have been married to my wife for ten years, but my wife has never had any children. Please help me calculate when my wife will give birth to a boy or a girl."

Lu Renjia almost pleaded with Zhao Gongming. Over the past ten years, Lu Renjia had tried countless methods but to no avail.

"So you're asking about the fate of your children." Zhao Gongming nodded, a light flashing in his eyes, and he had a clear view of Lu Renjia's situation.

Lu Renjia is a mortal, so he cannot hide any secrets in front of Zhao Gongming.

In a blink of an eye, Zhao Gongming confirmed that Lu Renjia's problem of having no children was caused by himself, not his wife's problem.

Zhao Gongming smiled and said, "What you are asking for is not fate, but a good medicine to cure your illness!"

"A good medicine to cure illness?" Lu Renjia was stunned, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses. "Master, are you saying that I am sick?"

"Yes, it's a disease." Zhao Gongming said with certainty.

Lu Renjia shook his head. "That's impossible. I've been to so many clinics over the years, and they all said it wasn't a disease. How could it be a disease?"

"Whether it is true or not, you will know it after trying. I have a prescription here. You can get the medicine according to this prescription, take it for seven days, and then have sex. All your problems will be solved." After saying that, Zhao Gongming pointed at Lu Renjia's forehead, and a prescription appeared in Lu Renjia's mind.

Lu Renjia felt it was amazing and believed Zhao Gongming's words. He asked excitedly, "Will this medicine really work if I drink it?"

"Of course it is useful. Not only that, this recipe can also nourish the kidneys and strengthen your yang, allowing you to regain the vigor and vitality of your youth."

Lu Renjia no longer hesitated: "Thank you, Immortal. Thank you, Immortal."

Lu Renjia was filled with gratitude and kowtowed repeatedly before leaving the Tianji Pavilion.

When an acquaintance saw Lu Renjia coming out of Tianji Pavilion, he couldn't help but joked, "Lu Renjia, don't be deceived by a liar just to have a baby."

Lu Renjia refuted righteously: "Don't talk nonsense, the real person said that as long as I drink it for seven days, I will have a child."

Everyone burst into laughter when they heard this, obviously not believing what Lu Renjia said.

After Lu Renjia left, the business of Tianji Pavilion returned to its previous quiet state. One day, two days, and a month passed, and the business was the same as before, with no one coming to ask for divination.

Now not only Bixiao, but even Zhao Gongming was a little anxious. He couldn't help but wonder if his elder sister's method was not working!

On this day, outside the Tianji Pavilion, it was very lively and crowded. Lu Renjia and his family came to the Tianji Pavilion.

Zhao Gongming sensed that the person coming was Lu Renjia, his eyes lit up and he walked out immediately.

Seeing Zhao Gongming's eyes turn red, Lu Renjia knelt on the ground with a plop, "Goddess, your medicine is really effective. My wife is pregnant!"

The crowd was suddenly in an uproar. Lu Renjia hadn't had a child for more than ten years, and after a trip to Tianji Pavilion, he got one?

As soon as Lu Renjia hung up the living sign here, the business of Tianji Pavilion began to pick up. It was crowded with people all day long, and the name of Tianji Pavilion gradually spread throughout Chaoge City. Zhao Gongming and Yunxiao were almost too busy to tell fortunes.

Ten years passed unknowingly. On this day, Tianji Pavilion welcomed a special guest. This person was surrounded by demonic aura and it was obvious that he was a monster that had just transformed. However, he was protected by the luck of heaven, so he was able to enter Chaoge City.

A demon was protected by the destiny of heaven, and Yunxiao and Zhao Gongming both felt that something was wrong.
