Chapter 34 Chaoge Averts Calamity, Seeking Great Merit!
No matter when or where, Cola Novels is your most loyal reading companion.
A year ago, the three demons of Xuanyuan Tomb and Xin Huan paid homage to the goddess Nuwa at the human race's holy temple in Chaoge. The three demons flattered the goddess's will and went to plunder the foundation of the Shang dynasty.
Before leaving, Xin Huan sent Hu Yu'er to Jizhou to find Su Hu, so that Hu Yu'er could take his place. Now, more than a year later, she has successfully infiltrated the palace.
After Emperor Xin met Hu Yu'er, he showered her with favors every day, indulging in feasts and revelry every night.
As a result, the government fell into disarray, official documents became chaotic, and ministers submitted memorials of remonstrance, but Emperor Xin treated them as child's play.
They indulged in such debauchery day and night, unaware that time was fleeting.
On this day, Emperor Xin was so engrossed in his love affair that he didn't realize how much time had passed and that he hadn't attended court for two months.
He spent his days entertaining Hu Yu'er at the Longevity Palace. Through Hu Yu'er's introduction, the other two demons also came to court and successfully infiltrated the harem.
For a time, the four of them enjoyed themselves, and even the king Di Xin was intoxicated by the pleasures of love.
It is said: a land of gentle pleasures is a graveyard for heroes!
The three demons resided in the harem, causing Emperor Xin to become infatuated with their beauty, leading to chaos in the court and threatening the world with imminent turmoil.
One day, Yun Zhongzi, having nothing to do, suddenly felt inspired and left the Jade Pillar Cave in Zhongnan Mountain, carrying a water and fire flower basket, intending to go to Tiger Cliff to collect herbs.
Yun Zhongzi was a Golden Immortal of the Chan Sect, who attained enlightenment during the Wu-Yao Calamity and had long since become a Great Luo Golden Immortal.
Now that we have left the Jade Pillar Cave in Zhongnan Mountain, and just as we were riding the clouds and raising the mist, we suddenly saw a demonic aura soaring into the sky from the southeast.
When Yun Zhongzi parted the clouds to look, he saw that the city of Chaoge was filled with demonic energy, which turned out to be three demons mixed in with it.
He nodded and sighed, "Chaoge City is the capital of the Great Shang Dynasty. Now I see a demonic aura soaring into the sky, carrying with it endless human fortune. It turns out to be a nine-tailed celestial fox!"
"This beast has only cultivated for a thousand years, yet it has now transformed into human form, using a false name to enter the Chaoge Imperial Palace. If it is not eliminated soon, it will surely become a great threat in the future!"
"As monks, we are guided by compassion and skillful means. How can we remain indifferent when we see evil spirits causing trouble?"
After saying this, Yun Zhongzi summoned Jinxia Tongzi and instructed him to fetch a section of the thousand-year-old pine tree so that he could use his supernatural powers to carve a wooden sword to ward off evil spirits.
The boy Jinxia, puzzled, asked, "Master, if you're going to exorcise the demon, why not use the Demon-Revealing Mirror and the Demon-Slaying Sword to cut off the evil and eradicate its root?"
Yun Zhongzi looked at Chaoge and couldn't help but laugh, "The thousand-year-old fox in Chaoge City is a nine-tailed celestial fox, a mythical auspicious beast. I can simply drive it away; its life must not be harmed!"
"The Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox clan has a long history. In ancient times, the wife of Emperor Yu the Great was a Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox. If we rashly kill them, it would be an unwise move!"
"I carved a sword from wood and engraved it with my supernatural powers. I used it to drive away the celestial fox, and that will also avert its calamity."
"If that nine-tailed celestial fox remains stubborn and insists on staying in this palace, my sword will take its life in three days!"
Yun Zhongzi did not take immediate action, but instead gave the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox three days to carefully consider the matter.
Having said that, Yun Zhongzi left Zhongnan Mountain with his wooden sword in hand, riding on auspicious clouds, and headed straight for Chaoge City.
After some negotiation, Emperor Xin hung the giant sword made from the thousand-year-old pine tree on the Fen Palace Tower.
The Giant Sword was meticulously crafted by Yun Zhongzi and contained a demon-slaying sword intent. It had just been hung on the Fen Gong Tower when Hu Yu'er's expression suddenly changed.
Hu Yu'er was struck by the demon-slaying sword intent, and her face immediately turned ashen, her lips as white as paper, and she became dizzy and faint, her breath faint, turning into a listless and dying appearance.
"Good, good!"
"It seems I haven't arrived too late!"
Xin Huan rode the wind and fire energies and arrived in Chaoge from Wuyi Mountain. As soon as he landed, he spoke.
"Another Taoist priest has arrived?"
Emperor Xin had just seen Yun Zhongzi off when, to his surprise, Xin Huan appeared. He immediately said...
"Your Majesty, this humble Taoist bows in reverence!"
Upon arriving at the foot of the palace tower, Xin Huan bowed respectfully and then looked at Emperor Xin, giving him ample face.
"I wonder where Changxian Township is?"
"What brings you here today?"
Emperor Xin possessed the immense power to support and replace pillars. He cultivated martial arts from a young age and condensed his qi and blood into a fierce and powerful force. Although he could not achieve immortality, he was still a rare martial arts immortal in the mortal world.
In the entire human realm, there are no more than a handful of mortals who can surpass Di Xin. If he were blessed with the dynasty's fortune, Di Xin would be able to fight against ordinary Grand Luo Golden Immortals.
As a human emperor, Di Xin naturally possessed extraordinary demeanor.
"I am Xin Huan, a Qi cultivator from Mount Wuyi. I have come here today specifically for this sword!"
Xin Huan pointed to the Giant Sword on the Fen Palace Tower. This sword belonged to Yun Zhongzi and should be handled carefully.
"Could there be some hidden secret about this sword?"
Di Xin looked at Xin Huan and couldn't help but ask.
"No, no!"
"This sword contains supreme sword intent. If it were hung high above, it might disturb the people inside the palace."
"Your Majesty is in the prime of life and protected by the dynasty's fortune; even gods and demons will flee from you, so you are immune to all evil influences!"
"But the palace guards, the maids, and even the concubines are all mortals."
"For mortals to be constantly bombarded by sword intent is like having a sharp sword hanging over their heads; this is actually not a good thing!"
Xin Huan slowly began to speak, and then spoke again.
"I see!"
"I was momentarily confused and almost misled by the sorcerer."
"The Giant Sword on this palace tower was a gift from Yun Zhongzi of Zhongnan Mountain. He said that there were evil spirits causing trouble in my palace, so he placed this sword here to suppress the evil spirits."
"My palace is protected by the dynasty's fortune, and gods and demons cannot approach it. How could any evil spirits arise here?"
"Generally speaking, sorcerers mislead people, and I have been misled by them!"
Di Xin was the human emperor, and Chaoge City was a place where the fortune of the human race gathered, naturally protected by the golden dragon of fortune.
Ordinary monsters and demons, or even celestial beings and gods, would only be able to dream of causing trouble in Chaoge City.
"I'll burn this sword!"
Di Xin immediately spoke and took down his wooden sword.
"His Majesty!"
"Could I be granted this wooden sword as a reward?"
"This humble Taoist priest wishes to offer a meritorious deed!"
Xin Huan performed a preliminary refining of the Fallen Treasure Coin and immediately realized that there was a merit involved that he needed to accomplish.
This meritorious act is to promote the use of copper coins, accumulate wealth throughout the world, and make the "falling treasure gold coins" widely available.
"Oh?"
"Tell me about your great act of merit!"
Di Xin immediately spoke up, also becoming interested. Even Di Xin himself wouldn't mind doing more good deeds.
"I possess a supreme treasure called the Treasure-Dropping Coin. This item was born in the beginning and naturally brings wealth."
"I observe that in the vast Shang Dynasty, ordinary transactions are extremely inconvenient. At the top, there is gold, silver, jade, and cowrie shells; at the bottom, there are copper coins!"
"The system is inconvenient to circulate, and exchanging currency is extremely difficult!"
"Your Majesty may gather all the gold and silver in the land, mint them into round coins with square holes, and then use these coins to circulate throughout the land."
"There are four types of coins here. The first is jade coins, which are transformed from the spiritual crystals of cultivators and circulate only in the cultivation world."
"Secondly: Gold coins, made from refined gold; thirdly: Silver coins, made from deep-sea silver!"
"These two can be used in the human world, but only the very wealthy can use them. They can also circulate within the spiritual community."
"The last coin is called a copper coin. It is cast from a copper mother coin and engraved with divine patterns. It can circulate in the world."
"Of the four types of coins, the jade coin is the most valuable, worth one thousand gold coins, ten thousand silver coins, and one hundred thousand copper coins!"
"With such a limited exchange system, Your Majesty can gather all the wealth of the world and concentrate it in the imperial city."
Xin Huan then went on to explain in detail the right to mint coins, which was a powerful tool that was extremely beneficial to the dynasty's rule.
Di Xin wasn't stupid; he quickly figured out what was going on!
(Wishing all readers a Happy New Year!)
