Chapter 62 Xia Qi and Luo Feng Liu Tian

Shang State.

While sending General Huang Jian to lead an army of 200,000 to aid the princes, Cheng Tang was also not idle. He sent Yi Yin and Zhonggu to lead troops to occupy the State of Wei.

Since most of the Wei State's troops had been destroyed along with the army led by Xia Geng, it did not take much effort for the Shang State to conquer the Wei State.

Can……

Just when Cheng Tang was feeling very proud and felt that he had finally eliminated the hidden dangers around the Shang State, Zhao Gongming suddenly returned and brought him bad news.

The army sent by Lugui was actually immortal. Even if they were killed during the day, they would be resurrected under the moonlight at night.

After explaining the situation, Zhao Gongming looked at Luo Xuan, Jin Peng and others and asked, "Fellow Taoists, have you ever heard of this method?"

"I've never heard of it!" Jin Peng shook his head and said, "Since it's an evil trick, Daoist Gongming, why don't you just kill it?"

In his opinion, since it was not a living being, with Zhao Gongming's cultivation as a Daluo Jinxian, he could just kill it directly. Anyway, it would not be affected by cause and effect.

"I want, too!"

Zhao Gongming heard this and sighed, "I have observed the cause and effect of that army before, and found that it has an inseparable connection with the ancestral temple of the Xia Dynasty. It seems that it was intercepted from the same timeline and cannot be reincarnated! Even if I kill it, it will still be resurrected in the middle of the night!"

Reincarnation!

Everyone was shocked when they heard this!
Everyone in the entire prehistoric world knows that reincarnation is the territory of Hou Tu Niangniang. Unless you transcend the Three Realms and Five Elements and break through to the realm of Daluo Jinxian, you can escape the shackles of reincarnation.

Logically speaking, all living beings below the level of Daluo Jinxian should return to the underworld and reincarnate after death. How come there are so many living beings who do not enter the cycle of reincarnation?

Could it be?

Is this matter related to Hou Tu Niangniang?

Seeing everyone frowning, Zhao Gongming immediately guessed what they were thinking and quickly explained, "This matter should have nothing to do with the one in the underworld! According to my observation, Lugui seems to be using the destiny of humanity to prevent them from entering the underworld after death!"

Zhonggu seemed to have thought of something when he heard this, and immediately said, "This matter should be related to the method of sacrifice! The previous kings of the Xia Dynasty attached great importance to sacrifice! And when it comes to Lugui, he will arrange a sacrifice every now and then, which consumes a lot of the Xia Dynasty's resources!"

"When I served under Lugui, I was a historian and was supposed to record various major events, but Lugui never allowed me to enter the ancestral temple!"

"The only ones who are qualified to enter the ancestral temple are Huo Zheng and a few other practitioners, as well as Xia Geng, who was turned into ashes by Immortal Luo Xuan not long ago!"

The most important affairs of a country are sacrifices and war!
In a country, those who hold the power of sacrifice and military are undoubtedly the king's confidants, and as historians, they should record the sacrifices and wars.

Can……

But Lugui didn't let him get close to the ancestral temple!

Zhao Gongming didn't believe that there was no problem at all.

Moreover, the sacrificial methods originated from the ancient Shinto, and have been severely interrupted. Most of the sacrificial methods handed down today are incomplete.

Lugui attached so much importance to sacrifice, and coupled with the fact that he suddenly gained spiritual power, it is hard not to suspect that this matter was related to Shintoism.

only……

Ever since the Taoist founder Hongjun preached and the immortal way flourished, the Shinto way has never regained its ancient glory, and countless Shinto methods have also disappeared in the long river of history.

Although Zhao Gongming, Luo Xuan and others were disciples of the saint, their understanding of Shinto was extremely limited.

Therefore, I don’t know how to start!
"I do know something about this matter!" Han Yi chuckled and said slowly, "The army under Lugui's command is indeed related to Shinto! To be precise, it is related to Luofeng Liutian! Moreover, this matter can be traced back to Xia Qi and Emperor Yu!"

"Luofeng Liutian?" Hearing this, Luo Xuan couldn't help but ask, "Could it be that the troops under Lugui's command are really related to the one in the Netherworld?"

In the underworld, there is a Luofeng Mountain. The mountain is 2,600 miles high and stretches for 30,000 miles. There is a hidden world in it, which is the core of the underworld.

There are six palaces in the mountain. The first palace is called Zhou Jueyin Heavenly Palace, the second palace is called Taisha Liangshi Zong Heavenly Palace, the third palace is called Mingchen Naifan Wucheng Heavenly Palace, the fourth palace is called Tianzhao Zuiqi Heavenly Palace, the fifth palace is called Zongling Qifei Heavenly Palace and the sixth palace is called Gansi Lianwanlu Heavenly Palace.

The status of these six palaces in the underworld is even higher than that of the Ten Kings of Hell and the Five Ghost Kings. They have the power to command all ghosts and decide the life and death, disaster and happiness of the human world.

The master of Zhou Jueyin Palace is Beiyin Fengdu Emperor, who possesses supreme authority over the underworld.

As for the other five palaces, it seemed that they had no owner and were just hanging there empty.

"Xia Qi?" Zhao Gongming seemed to have thought of something, and quickly looked at Han Yi and asked, "Could it be related to Ming Chen's attack on Wucheng Tiangong?"

He seemed to have heard Master Tongtian say that after Xia Qi ended the abdication system, both the heavens and the human worlds established the rule that "human kings cannot practice cultivation", but Xia Qi seemed to still have some cultivation ability!
"That's right!"

Han Yi nodded and said, "When Xia Qi ended the abdication system, he was entangled by the shackles of heaven and man. Although he had some cultivation, it began to decline!"

"Dayu couldn't bear to see his son turn into a handful of yellow earth after a hundred years. He went deep into the netherworld alone and asked the Emperor of Fengdu for the title of Lord Dongming. He was in charge of the Mingchen Naifan Wucheng Palace, hoping to remove the shackles on Xia Qi with the help of the power of the underworld!"

"Lugui was in the ancestral temple, offering sacrifices to none other than Xia Qi. He contacted the ancestor Xia Qi through the Shinto sacrificial method!"

"Then, through Xia Qi, he stole part of the power of the Netherworld and created that strange army that can't enter the cycle of reincarnation and can be resurrected continuously!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

Zhonggu also echoed: "I seem to have seen records of Emperor Yu's deep journey into the underworld on the bamboo slips! But I didn't expect this to be the reason!" As for Zhao Gongming and others, they looked embarrassed.

Although they are disciples of saints, they don't have much face in the underworld.

Moreover, this matter also involves Xia Qi. If he directly complains and asks the Emperor of Fengdu to take back Xia Qi's power, it might offend Dayu.

The gain outweighs the loss!
They don't want to offend a person who is one of the most powerful people under the saint for no reason.

What's more, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors are of the same blood. The fact that Xia Qi was able to take charge of the Fanwucheng Palace in the Ming Dynasty and become the Duke of Dongming was not necessarily due to the efforts of Dayu alone.

If Xia Qi loses this power, he will inevitably offend the Huoyun Cave!
Of course, if he returned to Jin'ao Island and asked Master Tongtian to come forward, with his saintly face and power, this matter could be easily settled!

but……

But Zhao Gongming didn't want to do that.

This was because he had fought for this opportunity to assist the Human King from the Patriarch Tongtian. If he encountered any difficulties, he would appear to be a waste if he asked the saint for help.

Therefore, he would never seek help from Master Tongtian unless it was absolutely necessary.

"Fellow Daoist Han Yi, do you know how to deal with that strange army?" Zhao Gongming thought for a moment, and without caring where Han Yi got these secrets from, he said directly: "If fellow Daoist knows a method, please don't hesitate to teach me! Once this strange army is eliminated, I will reward you handsomely!"

He had previously learned from Luo Xuan that Han Yi was also a disciple of Jiejiao and had practiced Jiejiao's teachings.

Therefore, when they spoke, they couldn't help but feel a little closer.

even……

He ignored the difference in their cultivation levels and directly addressed each other as fellow Taoists.

"Senior Gongming, you are too polite!" Han Yi smiled and said, "To break this method, we must first find a way to cut off the connection between Xia Qi and Lugui! Secondly, we must find the most yang and strongest thing in the world, use it to overcome yin with yang, and use strength to break the evil, and directly destroy these... Yin soldiers refined by the Shinto method from the source!"

"The Sun's Thing?"

Zhao Gongming was stunned when he heard this.

As for the first method Han Yi mentioned, which requires going deep into the underworld and seeking help from the Emperor of Fengdu or the Goddess Pingxin, it was not within his consideration.

Without waiting for Zhao Gongming to think, Han Yi said, "According to my speculation, the Sun True Fire of the Golden Crow lineage and the Southern Ming Fire controlled by the Lingguang God are both absolutely restraining against these Yin soldiers!"

The sun is so hot!

Nanming Lihuo!

These two kinds of divine fire are both extremely yang and strong. They are innate divine fires that rank among the top in the prehistoric times. They have the terrifying power to burn the sky and boil the sea, and refine the universe.

Zhao Gongming, as the eldest brother of the outer sect of Jiejiao, attained enlightenment during the reign of Emperor Tian, ​​and often listened to the teachings of Master Tongtian. Naturally, he would know about these two kinds of divine fire.

Ever since the great calamity between the sorcerers and the liches, the Sun's True Fire has only been controlled by the mysterious Taoist Lu Ya, but his whereabouts are uncertain and it is difficult to find him for the time being.

Of course, the Human King, who is now called a ruthless and incompetent ruler by the princes, may have also mastered this top-notch divine fire after seizing the origin of the Golden Crow.

but……

They are enemies!
Moreover, these strange ghost soldiers were also created by the other party. It was simply wishful thinking to want the other party to use the true fire of the sun to deal with himself.

As for Lord Lingguang...

Zhao Gongming's eyes turned and his gaze fell on Jin Peng standing beside him.

Although he had never dealt with Lord Lingguang and they had no friendship, the Jin Peng in front of him was the son of Yuan Feng and had a close relationship with Lord Lingguang!

"Fellow Daoist Jin Peng!"

Zhao Gongming said without hesitation: "Friend, can you ask Lord Lingguang to help me?"

"This……"

Jin Peng looked embarrassed, but after thinking for a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "Aunt Lingguang is one of the four spirits of heaven and earth. Without the permission of heaven, she can't leave the South Pole at all! However, she has a magic weapon in her hand, called the Vermillion Bird Flag, which is a top-grade innate spiritual treasure and can also release the Southern Ming Lihuo! Perhaps, I can borrow this treasure from her!"

Because he had refined the innate yin and yang energies into magic weapons, he had been unable to break through to the Golden Immortal level.

Therefore, I am very reluctant to face my elders!

Can……

Now it concerns King Tang's attack on Xia and whether the Phoenix clan can gain merit and fortune. He can only choose to be thick-skinned and go to see Lord Lingguang!

"Then I'll leave it to you, fellow Taoist!"

Zhao Gongming was delighted when he heard this, and immediately bowed to Jin Peng.

　I checked the information and found that in mythology, Xia Qi was indeed in charge of Mingchen Naifan Wucheng Palace, one of the six heavens of Luofeng. Therefore, I will lay a foreshadowing here, which will be used later.
