Chapter 572 Chivalry
Chen Shi opened the account book and saw that millions of ghosts were recorded in the account book. Before his death, he prayed to Empress Houtu to take revenge on an immortal named Yin Fenglou, cursing him to fall into reincarnation and not be allowed to ascend.
The account book records the cause and effect of this incident. In Lingtai Realm, a place called Fengyu Country, there was a flood one year. The imperial court ordered Yin Fenglou to take the disaster relief silver and the heavy treasure plowing comb to the lower reaches to relieve the disaster and dredge the waterway.
Yin Fenglou was already a major cultivator in the realm of overcoming the tribulation at that time. Because he was not confident enough to overcome the tribulation, he never dared to start the heavenly tribulation. But after getting the plowing comb, a valuable treasure from the imperial court, he changed his mind.
Him took the initiative to cause the catastrophe, used the power of the plowing comb to fight against the catastrophe, and finally succeeded in overcoming the catastrophe. But the precious comb that plowed the sky was also destroyed in the catastrophe.
Yin Fenglou knew that he had made a big mistake and did not dare to go to the disaster area, so he took the disaster relief money and fled.
After he escaped, the downstream embankment burst, causing millions of people to be swallowed up by the flood and becoming food for fish and shrimp in the water. Countless wives were separated. As a result, the country of Fengyu came to an end, and the country was destroyed. Finally, it was in the hands of foreign enemies.
But Yin Fenglou survived the Ascension Realm and actually ascended to the Earthly Immortal Realm.
Before the reincarnation of countless dead souls, the strong obsession formed this account book, and Yin Fenglou must pay the price.
"Godmother, why did you give me the account book?" Chen Shi was puzzled.
Huntu Niangniang smiled and said: "Of course you are here to settle the debt."
Chen Shi asked: "What are you going to steal this time?"
"Steal Yin Fenglou's life!"
Huntu Niangniang said, "I am a god, and I cannot take the life of an immortal who is not under my jurisdiction at will. But you are different. You are also an immortal, You can get rid of him and avenge the people of Fengyu Country."
Chen Shi said: "When we settled the accounts before, we stole the earth treasure spiritual roots of those immortals without killing anyone."
Houtu Empress nodded lightly: "But this time, I want to ask your Majesty to kill someone."
Chen Shi put the account book into his arms and said: "I agree. When I ascend to the immortal world, if I find it, When we get to Yin Feng Tower, I will kill him. Empress Tu looked at him with a smile, and suddenly said: "Your Majesty, do you know what I admire most about you?"
Chen Shi looked at her doubtfully.
Huntu Niangniang smiled and said, "You are so chivalrous."
"Chivalrous?"
"Yes. Most gods are not chivalrous, including the aloof immortals. They pursue the ethereal Tao, are good at calculating gains and losses, control people's hearts and manipulate the world. They make themselves less like humans. This is especially true for gods. They are trapped in the Shinto and can only fulfill people's wishes, and cannot intervene in many injustices."
Hou Tu Niang. Mother said sternly, "But your Majesty is different. When your Majesty was a child, he saw the Zhao family killing people in Huangyang Village, and he moved forward in anger. No matter how strong or powerful the opponent was, he would still fight to kill him. Your Majesty treated him because he was cut off from the divine fetus. We feel the same when people bully the weak, so we must get rid of the Thirteenth Family and remove the cancer for the world. Because Tianzun allows Yuan Chong to cause trouble, Your Majesty must work hard to punish it. Your Majesty, your behavior is not like a fairy, but more like a hero."
Chen Shi asked: "What is a hero?"
The empress said: "Using force to break the law is not in line with justice. His words must be believed, his deeds must bear fruit, his promises must be true, and he does not love his body. He goes to the hardships of soldiers, and has already lived and died. He is called a hero."
Chen Shi laughed loudly, shook his head and said: "Goddess, I don't have chivalry, you have chivalry. Your Majesty is the empress of heaven, and she is favored by the world and ghosts. She has great power, even if she is not prayed by the lonely ghosts of the people. It doesn't hurt to wish. But the empress recorded their prayers and turned them into a ledger, doing everything she could to avenge them and make the perpetrators pay the price."
The empress laughed and said: "Your Majesty, these things were done by you, not by me. Your Majesty, for these lonely ghosts, did not hesitate to offend the real immortals, but did not take any credit. Isn't it chivalrous?"
Chen Shi smiled and said: "Godmother, both of us are chivalrous. The black pot is also chivalrous! Let's not argue about this."
Houtu Niangniang said: "I see that you have been fighting against the ascending rays of light these days, and it seems to be getting harder and harder. Are you about to ascend?"
Chen Shi nodded, with a sad look on his face, and said: "These days I have been I have been suppressing the Ascension Xiaguang's attraction to me, but the attraction is getting stronger and stronger, and there are signs of tearing me apart. I am worried that if I continue to fight against the Ascension Xiaguang, I will be torn in half by its power. However, after I ascend, Xiniu Xinzhou will no longer have Zhentu, and I am afraid that there will be chaos again. "
Empress Houtu said: "Are you worried that a new Thirteenth Family will be born in the future?"
Chen Shi looked solemn and said: "Selfishness is inevitable in human nature. Even in today's Zhen Dynasty, Zhuge Jian, Yu Tiancheng and others have fighting spirit, but in the face of power, it is difficult for them to decay one day."
Huntu Niangniang smiled and said: "Even the Black Bird Heavenly Court must be decayed. Even the earlier Emperor's Heavenly Court was the same. In the Chinese continent, dynasties change. Didn't these gods expect that the court and heaven they created would eventually decay?"
Chen Shi Asked for advice: "How do they do it?"
Houtu Niangniang smiled and said: "If they can do it, they will not be overthrown. Your Majesty can't do it either. This power and wealth will eventually slowly gather to a small group of people, and the situation you created will eventually decay. Even if you don't ascend, you can't change this process."
Chen Shi murmured: "Lao Tzu said that the way of heaven is to make up for the excess of losses and the deficiency. The way of man is to make up for the loss and benefit. Therefore, the way of the world is that the strong will always be strong and the poor will be poorer. But we should follow the way of heaven. The way of humanity is mixed. While practicing the way of man in the human world, we must also implement the way of heaven, make up for the deficiencies by making up for the losses, and make up for the weak by harming the strong." He cheered up and said with a smile. Goddess, maybe this is the solution. "
He was inexplicably excited and hurriedly walked out: "I'm going to find Lord Hu to discuss this matter and see if we can draw up a charter."
Queen Houtu smiled and said, "Hurry up, Lord Hu has come to see you hundreds of times!"
Queen Houtu watched him go away, her eyes falling on Heiguo.
Heiguo is practicing the Great Wilderness Ming Taoist Collection in the mountains of Shifang. He stands up and has practiced Tianzun's skills to the extreme. His muscles are strong, his movements are like lightning, and his various Tao methods are running smoothly, just like a fighting madman.
Over the past two years, this big black dog has been eating elixirs, and its fur has become shiny black. Under the fur, the bones and bones are strong and the muscles are fierce,
Showing its explosive power. Although it was a battle of misfortune, he actually had the aura of a fairy and a devil, and at the same time he had the ability of ghosts and monsters. It was really an extraordinary horse.
"This dog is already more powerful than most immortals!"
The Queen was amazed.
These days, she can see that Hei Guo is even more diligent than Chen Shi. Chen Shi does not practice all the time and is lazy when he can, but Hei Guo practices whenever he has time, tempering his body with the Eight Thunder Methods, honing his Taoism with the Great Wilderness Ming Dao Collection, and making rapid progress.
"I wonder when I can surpass another dog?" Queen Houtu thought to herself.
She withdrew her gaze and went to check the status of the witch contract.
In the past two years, Wu Qi's bones have basically recovered. In the alchemy furnace, on the surface of the bones, strands of membranes and blood vessels began to slowly grow.
"Using Danlu to reshape the body, even the Taiyi Golden Immortal does not have such luxurious treatment. After you wake up, if nothing else, this physical body alone is comparable to the Taiyi Golden Immortal."
Empress Hou Tu praised repeatedly and said with a smile, "Wu Qi, Wu Qi, your majesty has spent too much money to save you. How should you repay?"
But she also knew that Chen Shi did all this to rescue Wu Qi, not to repay Wu Qi, but to repay Wu Qi for his bloody battle with Tianzun.
Wu Qi's battle with Tianzun was an act of righteousness. Chen Shi admired his deeds, so he wanted to save him no matter what.
Chen Shi returned to the earthly world and came to the imperial capital of Xinxiang. Looking at the imperial capital in front of him, he felt a little strange.
He has not come back for the past two years, and the imperial capital has become extremely prosperous. The Ministry of Industry built a huge portal in accordance with the specifications of the Heavenly Court Order, which connects the small heavens. This portal was built on the Dejiang River, and a steady stream of ships came from the Dejiang River and passed through the portal.
The other side of the portal is not Dejiang, but Xiaozhutian.
Chen Shi looked along the gates to Xiaozhutian, but saw that many gates had been established in Xiaozhutian, and on the other side of the gates were the provincial capitals of each province.
Through the Small Heavens, caravans shuttled between provinces, trading and exchanging what they had.
Today's Xiaozhutian has been refined and is much larger and more stable than before. Even if the trade of fifty provinces all goes through Xiaozhutian,
it will not be crowded.
"The imperial court is considered rich, and rich——"
Chen Shi came to Wenyuan Pavilion, only to see Hu Feifei lying on the desk, sleeping in a dark place, with a mountain of memorials in front of her, almost burying her.
Chen Shi did not wake her up. He sat down and read the memorial quietly.
After a long time, Hu Feifei woke up and was startled when she saw Chen Shi, and hurriedly saw the true king.
Chen Shi said with a smile: "Sister Feifei, there is no need for you and me to be so cramped. Sit down first. I read the memorial you corrected. This year, the Ministry of Rites will open the Enke Ke and re-open the imperial examination. The content of the assessment will be much more than in the past. In addition to the traditional skills, spells and swordsmanship, there are also examinations such as craftsmanship, casting, construction, breeding, and sacrificial refining. Why is this?"
Hu Feifei said: "The imperial examination is not about selecting people by force, but selecting officials to govern the world. Therefore, it is divided into six departments: the Ministry of War is responsible for fighting, the Ministry of Rites is responsible for teaching and educating people and worshiping ghosts and gods, the Ministry of Household is responsible for managing money and prosperous merchants, and the Ministry of Industry is responsible for forging magic weapons and firearms to build palaces, such as These and other things are all talents needed by the court and the people. If this is the case, then we must take these tests." Chen Shi nodded gently and told her about his insights from Houtu Empress. The two talked in Wenyuan Pavilion until late at night, discussing many regulations, and Hu Feifei recorded them one by one.
When the two of them walked out of Wenyuan Pavilion, it was dark outside and the moon was as cold as water.
Chen Shi sent her to rest. Hu Feifei looked at the bright moon in the sky and suddenly giggled.
Chen Shi smiled and said: "Sister Feifei, what are you laughing at?"
Hu Feifei smiled and said: "I laughed at you when I first met. We were sleeping in Mr. Fu's private school. You slept next to me. You looked at me and I looked at you. The moonlight was just right outside, but you and I didn't do anything. I am ashamed to be a vixen and have failed my ancestors." Let's go. Ascend to the immortal world. "
Hu Feifei trembled slightly and said, "Are you coming back?"
"Come back, I will definitely come back."
Hu Feifei looked at his back as he walked forward, and quietly stretched out her hand to him. When she was about to touch Chen Shi's hand, she hesitated and retracted.
"Feifei, Feifei, you really disgrace your ancestors." She was secretly upset in her heart.
