Chapter 525 Raising people

Chapter 525 The Seeder

The person who came was none other than Immortal Lord Zitian. He sensed something was wrong with Zitian Teng, and rushed over quickly while using his divine sword to kill the treasure thief.

  Unexpectedly, the Li thief would use his hand to open the fairy gourd and release the fortune-telling fairy fire accumulated in three tribulations, almost destroying his immortal realm.

 In the first three tribulations, the Purple Heaven Immortal Lord relied on the Purple Heaven Vine to survive, and the tribulations were absorbed by the Purple Heaven Vine. After the purple sky vine absorbs the calamity, it cannot be refined. After the flowers bloom and bear fruit, they can only be stored in this gourd.

 This tribulation fairy fire is unusual and can destroy the foundation of the fairy family. Even the Purple Sky Immortal Lord could not extinguish the fairy fire, he could only suppress the fire.

"The release of the Immortal Fire of Luck and the destruction of Zitian have fulfilled the destiny. I will open another realm, but it will take countless efforts to restore the grandeur of Zitian."

Immortal Lord Zitian just thought of this when he suddenly heard a loud noise, and something exploded in the fairy fire below. Countless ghosts flew out of the fairy fire and fled in all directions.

 There are millions of these living souls, plus the burned ant-men, rat-men, and bee-men, there are tens of millions of living souls. As soon as they escape from the purple sky, they enter the cycle of reincarnation between heaven and earth, and are dragged to the underworld in various places.

  "My reincarnation jade plate!"

  Purple Sky Immortal Lord groaned, his body aching extremely, "The reincarnation artifact that I finally begged from Lingshan Mountain was also burned!"

The reincarnation jade plate is the foundation for maintaining the operation of the Purple Sky and the Underworld. Eighty million souls are imprisoned in the Purple Sky. The reincarnation, reincarnation, and reincarnation of these souls all rely on this magic weapon. The Underworld is only responsible for examining the "merits" of each soul during this process. One by one, the so-called merit refers to the level of contribution made to Zitian.

 With the Jade Plate of Samsara here, it would be no problem for him to build another Purple Sky.

 With the Jade Plate of Samsara destroyed, even if another Purple Sky is built, the business of making a living will be lost. One by one, he cannot control so many living souls, working for him, planting elixirs, picking fairy honey, and refining elixirs.

 The reason why he has such a high status and is called an Immortal Lord is not due to his cultivation, but because Zitian is rich in various immortal medicines. Purple Sky Immortal Lord was also good at refining elixirs and used elixirs to make friends with people. Many immortal families asked him for help, so he was named Immortal Lord based on Jin Immortal's cultivation.

 He lost the Purple Heaven Vine and Immortal Gourd, and the Samsara Jade Plate was burned, and his foundation was also lost.
Who is plotting against me? "

 Houtu Empress held the Purple Sky Gourd in her palm, opened its mouth, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, please take a look."

 This gourd was originally huge, but in her hand, it seemed to be only about a foot tall.

  Chen Shizou walked up to him and looked into the gourd. He saw a bright yellow and golden patch in the gourd, which were the gourd seeds.

 It's just that although this gourd is big, it doesn't have many seeds, only three.

  "So few."

  Chen Shi was a little strange. Although the gourd was so big, it only had three seeds in it.

  "Purple Sky Vine is difficult to bear fruit. If there were many gourd seeds, they would have been planted all over the Earthly Immortal Realm. If Purple Sky Vine had not known that its end was coming, it would not have blossomed and bear fruit. For it, three seeds in the gourd are already too many."

 Houtu Empress poured out a gourd in his hand. Zi'er, smiled and said, "It produces three seeds, and I only hope that one purple sky vine can survive. The other two seeds, if one more plant can survive, will be profitable."

The seeds of the purple sky vine fell into the hand, heavy, but there was tremendous vitality inside. Chen Shi just held it in his hand, and felt that his hair and skin were quietly growing.

Empress Hou Tu added: "The rune imprint on this treasure is the most magical. It is a spiritual seed condensed by absorbing calamity and immortal energy. Bury it in the soil with Wuqi, so that nothing is exposed. Then pour some water from Dao Spring and wait for a few days, Wuqi will be resurrected. By the way, set up a shelf next to it to make it easier to climb the seedlings."

 "Climbing?"

 Chen Shi was a little confused. Only vine crops need to be climbed. For example, the watermelons planted by the old lady Wu Zhu need to leave ridges for the watermelon seedlings to grow. The beans planted by Grandma Yuzhu need to be set up on a shelf so that the beans can climb up the shelf to grow better.

 Does a witchcraft contract also require climbing seedlings?

 Chen Shi felt shuddering when he thought about Wuqi emerging from the soil and the peas growing.

Hou Tu Niangniang took out another gourd seed, handed it to him, and said: "I left a seed. You can still keep this seed, maybe it will be useful in the future. This Purple Sky Vine is extremely precious, but the Purple Sky Immortal Lord uses it to support the Taoist realm. It can be said to be a rare treasure."

 Chen Shi asked for advice: "Goddess, how to use Purple Sky Vine so that it is not considered a rare treasure?"

 Houtu Empress smiled and said: "Purple Sky Vine is a rare spiritual species. It is good at searching for the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, gathering the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and refining it into the pure energy. Purple Heaven Immortal Lord will This species is in its own Tao realm, so where can it go to search for the spiritual energy of heaven and earth? Even if it can refine a little bit of Taiqing Qi, it is too meager to be of much use."

  Chen Shi was slightly moved, thinking of what he saw in the Tao realm of Purple Sky Immortal Lord, when the sun was orbiting the Purple Sky Vine.

 It will absorb every trace of purple energy from the vine. Could it be that purple energy is too pure energy?

  He asked Empress Houtu, and she smiled and said: "It's that kind of purple energy. Purple energy comes from the east, and it has been used to describe Taiqing saints since ancient times. The Purple Heaven Immortal Lord was afraid that someone would take away the Purple Heaven Vine if he showed it, so he kept this species in the Tao realm, but this also restricted the Purple Heaven Vine. He collected His Taiqing Purple Qi is very limited, and it is not enough to help him break through the realm, otherwise he would have cultivated into Taiyi Golden Immortal long ago. Chen Shi felt a little cowardly and said, "Goddess, I took his gourd, and his Purple Heaven Realm was burned. Is this too much for us?"

Hou Tu Niangniang sneered and said: "Is it over? The Purple Sky Immortal Lord relied on the fact that he had become an immortal and jumped out of reincarnation. He was no longer under my control, so he searched for living souls everywhere, turned people into ant-men, orcs, and bee-men, and enslaved them. He also borrowed the reincarnation jade from Lingshan. Pan, controls these living souls, life and death, working for him for generations. He did not kill him, but only took the Purple Heavenly Gourd, which was already an advantage for him. "

  Chen Shi said: "Those Ant-Man orcs————

 Huntu Niangniang said: "If the Purple Heaven Dao Realm is burned, they will also die, and their souls will escape from Zitian and fall into reincarnation in different worlds. In the future, they may be reborn without being enslaved by the Purple Heaven Immortal Lord."

 Chen Shi thought for a while and said, "My Godmother is a good person."

Empress Hou Tu laughed and said: "How can I be a good person? The reason why I let you steal the gourd of Immortal Purple Heaven is because Immortal Purple Heaven interferes with reincarnation and affects my interests. He is an immortal and is not in reincarnation. I can't help him, so I want to lend you your hand. If he loses the gourd, he will not be able to survive the calamity and will die in the calamity. I am always for myself, how can I be a good person?"

  Chen Shi smiled and said: "Although Godmother does everything for herself, the results are good."

 Houtu Empress smiled and said: "Don't flatter me. You stole the immortal gourd, but the Purple Sky Immortal Lord is not dead now, and he may meet you in the future. Isn't it a good thing if you take this cause and effect on you?"

 Chen Shi sighed with a sad face.

 Huntu Niangniang was very happy: "I am full of evil now! You can go out and worry, I am a little tired."

 Chen Shi walked out of Houde Palace and saw Taoist Liu outside the palace looking over with a flattering smile. Chen Shi lowered his head, hugged Zitian Gourd tightly, and planned to walk past.

 Liu Daoren coughed, and the flattering look on his face became even more intense, and he said in a soft voice: "Your Majesty, do you think those three willow leaves on Xiaodao'er are right?"

 He rubbed his hands, looking rather embarrassed about asking for his magic weapon.

  Chen Shi stopped and said: "Those three willow leaves - well, that's a problem. I think there is still room for improvement in Taoist Taoist magic weapon. We need to reach a new level, reach a new realm, and achieve new development through new measures. Therefore, we need to use new methods, put forward new requirements, reach new breakthroughs, and achieve new heights. Do you understand this truth, Taoist friends?"

 Taoist Liu was at a loss, watching him walk down the high hill, and suddenly realized: "Where are my three immortal formations?"

 Chen Shi hurriedly returned to the imperial city, and then he breathed a sigh of relief: "Daoren Liu's three willow leaves, indeed It’s a problem. I want to save my life, but his willow leaves are destroyed, so I have to compensate him. But how to compensate him?”

  He wandered around several palaces, planning to find a secluded corner to plant the witchcraft and gourd seeds. After searching for a long time, I found an open space in the Imperial Garden. The palace was newly built, and the Imperial Garden only planted some trees and flowers. There was still a lot of space, and no good trees were selected.

  Chen Shi chose a centuries-old crape myrtle tree. The tree had its crown cut off and had not yet sprouted new buds.

 He dug a hole under the tree, and then brought Wu Qi and his men over with the pot.

 Can'er with white hair and white skirt ran over dragging her ponytail: "Brother, I'm hungry!"

 Chen Shi put down the pot and looked at the mulberry leaves on her neck. She had already finished eating them.

 "My appetite seems to have increased recently."

 Chen Shiyi gave her another hibiscus leaf.

  Can'er squatted nearby, eating mulberry leaves while watching Chen Shi take Wu Qi's bones out of the pot, plant Wu Qi and the golden gourd seed under the crape myrtle tree, and then cultivate the soil.

 Chen Shi poured the water from the pot, breathed a sigh of relief, and said to himself: "In a few days, the gourd vine will grow, and you can climb up the crape myrtle tree."

 He ​​thought that Wu Qi might be crawling out of the soil and growing up the tree like vines, and he couldn't help but shudder,

 "It will definitely not be like this! Can'er, let's go."

 Chen Shi called out, and Can'er quickly jumped up and down to follow him, with two ponytails swinging behind him.

  Chen Shi noticed that in this short period of time, she had bitten into half of the hibiscus leaf!

  "If you continue to eat like this, the hibiscus leaves will probably be gone in a few days." He couldn't help feeling worried.

  "Since the queen asked me to spin silk, my appetite has increased a lot. The queen said, I am growing!" Can'er said confidently.

  Chen Shi knelt down and looked at her. The girl's height only reached his waist, and he couldn't see where she grew.

“The empress said that I am going to metamorphose, so I will eat more,” Can’er said.

  "Metamorphosis?"

  Chen Shi was slightly confused, not quite sure what it meant. But being able to eat is not a bad thing.

   "But it's also a bad thing. I've finished eating the hibiscus leaves here, how can I get more hibiscus leaves?"

   He thought of the hibiscus tree that day. Only by returning there could he collect enough hibiscus leaves for the silkworms to metamorphose.

  "But, without the willow leaf boat, how can we cross the dark sea? Moreover, it is difficult to discern the road in the darkness."

  Chen Shi hesitated, and he still needed to trouble Empress Houtu about this matter.

  "But it's not urgent right now, I still have enough hibiscus leaves for a few days. I wonder how the battle is going?"

 As the true king, he was busy running around with Queen Houtu these days and did not pay attention to the war. Fortunately, his skeleton body was on the front line, and Chen Shi's consciousness was connected to the skeleton body. In just a few moments, he had a clear understanding of the war during this period.

 Since the Li, Yang, Xu, Zhang, Xia and other aristocratic families were destroyed, the Gu, Ma, Gao, Jiang, Fei, Zhai and other aristocratic families were also destroyed one after another, but the speed was much slower than before.

 This is because the underworld forces of these aristocratic families are counterattacking. This force is really powerful, with countless underworld soldiers and ghosts and gods everywhere. Yang Bi has to adopt a steady and steady battle to reduce casualties, use superior troops to encircle and suppress the opponent's weak links, and encroach on them step by step.

 However, until now after the war, there is only one Cui family left among the thirteen aristocratic families.

The Cui family has now gathered the remnants of other aristocratic families, and there are many masters, but the destruction of the Cui family is only a matter of time.

 At this time, Yang Bi was mobilizing troops and generals to form an encirclement between the Yin and Yang realms of the Cui family.

  He adopted the strategy of encircling three and missing one, leaving a weak point in the northwest corner for the Cui family's masters to break through easily.

 But until now, not a single ghost or descendant of the Cui family has escaped. This aristocratic family has an extremely strong temper, which gives Yang Bi a headache. He is afraid that it will be difficult to eradicate the Cui family without making some sacrifices.

 Chen Shi came to Xiaozhutian in his skeleton body, found Yang Bi, and said: "The reason why the Cui family did not escape is because they knew that even if they escaped, they would have no way to go, and they would be driven out and killed by us. So they resisted and fought to the death. As long as you give them a little hope of escape, they will escape."

Yang Bi said: "Where does the hope come from?"

Chen Shiguan said: "My uncle Chen Wu once pretended to be a Tiandao Walker in Despair Slope, so he can take the Supreme Emperor, Du Yiran, and Sha The mother-in-law and others pretended to be Heavenly Dao practitioners and came to make peace with the two families on the orders of Heavenly Lord. Zhuang Wujiu often walked in the world. Many people knew him and knew that he was from Despair Slope. Chen Wu could pretend to be Zhuang Wujiu. "

  Yang Bi heard this and said with a smile: "To eradicate the last big family, why not come to the battle in person? Your Majesty has made great contributions by destroying thirteen families in one fell swoop."

Chen Shi shook his head and said, "You were responsible for defeating the eleven great families, and the Cui family was also defeated by you. I will not take your credit."

Chen Shi smiled and said: "If you don't trust the lonely king, the lonely king can give you an iron coupon to avoid death."

Yang Bi couldn't help laughing and said: "I am familiar with history books, and anyone who has an iron coupon to avoid death and a gold medal will die miserably in the end!"

He couldn't help laughing, and said with a smile: "Brother Yang, we are kings and ministers in name, but this is for the people of Li, but in fact, we are Taoist friends and people who seek the Tao. When the world is peaceful, the Tianzun has been eliminated, and the Gangchang orthodoxy has been established, I will learn from the sages and give up the position of the true king, and devote myself to pursuing the Tao and ascending."

Yang Bi was deeply moved when he heard this and said, "Yes. I was seeking Taoism, but I fell into the turbid current. Once the sky and the earth are level, I will stop hanging up my seal. If there is a peaceful day, I will also resign and hang up my seal."

 The two looked at each other and smiled.

Yang Bi laughed and said: "At that time, as a fellow Taoist, I beg your majesty to show your dignity and let us compete again to see if we are better than the male."

Chen Shi laughed and said, "Of course I am the male!"

Yang Bi smiled and said, "Not necessarily. By the way, what are you doing in the imperial capital these days? If you have nothing to do, you can go on a military expedition yourself."

  "Rob, steal, burn, kill, and breed people." Chen Shi sighed.

 Yang Bi was puzzled.

  Chen Shi withdrew his consciousness and left one thought on Gu. Hu Feifei hurried over and asked him to review the memorial.

These days, he was traveling around overseas and was very busy. He accumulated many memorials, most of which were submitted from various places to congratulate the true king on his enthronement. There are also reports of local disasters, floods, and food shortages.

  Chen Shi reviewed, Hu Feifei explained the general meaning of each memorial, and Chen Shi made the decision. The two of them worked from morning to night, and from night to morning, and finally finished approving the mountain of memorials.

  Chen Shi stretched his back and was about to take a rest. Suddenly Can'er ran over in panic and shouted from a distance. Said: "Brother, brother!

  People! People! People have grown up!"

  Chen Shi paused for a moment, and then he realized: "Wu Qi! Wu Qi has grown up!"
