I have a hundred clones.

Chapter 1772 Red Mansion
"Fool, it's good that you have this intention. Leave the action to me and Jidu," said Sun Wukong.

Zhu Bajie is only a quasi-saint after all, not yet at the level of a weak saint, and his combat power is not at the top of the same level, making it difficult to defeat him...

Furthermore, Lao Zhu has not reached the top of the ninth level of quasi-sainthood.

If we really agree to it and let Lao Zhu join the war, it would be a bad thing.

Lao Zhu’s life and property are difficult to guarantee.

There is no doubt that the Jade Emperor and his two companions are very powerful. Even Sun Wukong has to deal with them with caution.

"In addition to those three people, there may be other people with great powers who will also end up like this." Cao Ya said.

Sun Wukong nodded. This was also a key point that must be guarded against.

It is impossible to say that others were completely unaware of the plans of those three powerful men.

They are just concerned about the power of the Jade Emperor, Taoist Taixu and Taoist Chixia, and most of them will just wait and see and will not intervene.

But there are always some big shots who are secretly taking action, trying to get to the bottom of the matter, and even waiting for an opportunity to seize the fruits of the two cases of Dream of the Red Chamber and Water Margin!
And knowing the layout of the three powers, they still dared to intervene...

Such a big shot, at worst, would be a weak saint!
Even if the real Hunyuan appeared, Cao Ya and Sun Wukong would not be surprised.

At the same time, the three strongest people also have a staunch ally like the Queen Mother, so the two need to be wary.

Naturally, under such circumstances, the two of them could not rashly let Zhu Bajie participate.

It's too dangerous!

"They are so hateful!" Zhu Bajie was angry.

If you want to master the great merits and seek promotion, then practicing on your own is the right way.

At most, it can spread the gospel to all realms, gain the luck of heaven and earth, enhance one's understanding, and have a greater chance of breakthrough.

How could it be like this, with conspiracy and forcing people by force, and finally, ruining their morality!

"The Crimson Pearl Fairy and the others had a strange fate. They were chosen and forced to join the game."

"In this earthly world, after experiencing love and hate, all kinds of human conditions, entanglements of cause and effect, and the rotation of fate, the fruits of all phenomena in the world are condensed, such as the seven emotions, six desires, and the fruits of the great way of earthly life."

"This process also involves the change of dynasties and thrones, the integration of human destiny, and the fate of the golden hairpins and the evil stars, as well as the emotions, thoughts, and mental fluctuations generated by them, which can be extracted to produce various miraculous achievements."

"The Jade Emperor and his men have obtained it. After harvesting it, it will become their own foundation. Hopefully, they can increase their cultivation and try to break through the realm."

"But the fate of the Golden Hairpin and the Demon Star will be very miserable."

"The new life is like the moon in the well and the flower in the water. The destiny of the true spirit is taken away, and everything will be lost. In the end, the body will perish, the soul will collapse, and return to nothingness."

Cao Ya whispered, with a hint of coldness in his voice.

The plan of the three powers was truly cruel.

Of course, not all the characters in the two cases have strange fates.

Many of them were reincarnated on orders to push the progress of the case, or to monitor it openly or secretly, and if there was any sign of trouble, they would report it to the bosses above and take precautions early.

In the end, they may also receive gifts from the top three, and if they perform well, they may even get a share of one or two merits, which is not impossible.

After countless years of planning, how many achievements can be gained?
You should know that in the Dream of Red Mansions, there are the main volume, the supplementary volume, and the supplementary volume of the Twelve Beauties of Jinling; and in Water Margin, there are also the Thirty-six Celestial Beings and the Seventy-two Earthly Fiends.

"Damn you Jade Emperor!" Zhu Bajie was indignant.

"Jade Emperor, I have always felt that there are many immortals and gods below who are disobedient to him, or they obey orders but not decrees, or they pretend to obey but actually disobey... Haha, with such a mind and temper, who can accept them?" Sun Wukong sneered.

An emperor should be magnanimous, tolerant of all races and creatures, and act with dignity and justice. Overt plots are always more convincing than conspiracies, and are more difficult to solve.

"Although Donghuang Taiyi is an enemy, we have to say that Donghuang has more imperial bearing than the Jade Emperor!" Cao Ya said.

“This time, not only must I save those people, I must also make the Jade Emperor suffer more than he gains!” said Sun Wukong. In the past, when he made havoc in the Heavenly Palace, he relied on his unparalleled fighting ability to sweep through various heavenly palaces and temples. However, outside the Lingxiao Palace, he was blocked by Wang Lingguan and many immortals and gods, and did not really endanger the throne of the Jade Emperor. This time, he must severely trick the Jade Emperor!

"Taixu Illusion Realm, Chixia Palace... these two forces must also be overthrown." Cao Ya said coldly.

The Fairy of the Crimson Pearl, the Goddess of Lengxiang, the Star of Heavenly Injury, the Star of Heavenly Loneliness, etc., are all their old acquaintances.

As a good friend, how could I not be angry when being plotted against like this?
However, Sun Wukong is already a saint, so he should not act rashly as this would easily attract attention.

Cao Ya, as the Lord of Ketu, is also a well-known figure in the Three Realms, but after all, he has not reached the realm of Hunyuan, and the level of attention he receives is definitely not as high as that of Sun Wukong.

A weak saint will never be as prominent as a saint.

In addition, Sun Wukong's magical power covers the Flower-Fruit Mountain and can prevent it from being calculated by bigwigs.

The last place where Ketu Star Lord appeared was in Huaguo Mountain. There is no way to predict where he went after that.

In this regard, Cao Ya is a weak saint, and his concealment effect must be inferior to Sun Wukong. ——Other extraordinary systems are at most six-star peak, equivalent to weak saints in [Honghuang]. Compared with Sun Wukong, a seven-star true primordial being, they are of course obviously inferior.

Therefore, after comprehensive consideration of multiple factors, it is Cao Ya who acted secretly, while Sun Wukong, on the surface, attracted the attention of some important figures.

The two men, one in the open and one in secret, cooperated with each other to defeat the opponent's opponent.

So, Sun Wukong stayed in Huaguo Mountain, observing the surroundings and being ready to provide support at any time.

Zhu Bajie went to Gao Laozhuang, and sometimes went to Huaguo Mountain to see how the situation developed.

Cao Ya concealed his breath, and with the help of Sun Wukong, he blurred the secrets of heaven and confused the cause and effect. Without anyone knowing, he quietly walked to the Dongsheng Continent.

******
The Earthly Immortal Realm is one of the three realms, and is home to countless people with great supernatural powers.

Among them, Uttarakuru is a paradise for demons, while Jambudvīpa is dominated by humans.

In Xiniu Hezhou, Buddhism is the most powerful, but demons also appear occasionally.

The Dongsheng Divine Continent is the most balanced. Demons, monsters, Buddhas, Taoists, and humans all have their own forces, but it is difficult for them to occupy a dominant position on this continent.

Of course, Dongsheng Shenzhou, as one of the four major continents in the earthly immortal world, is also vast and rich in resources.

Here, there is the Humane Dynasty, as well as tribes ruled by super demons, the Demonic Sect, and Taoist and Buddhist holy places.

At this time, there was a human dynasty that ruled over the Dongsheng Continent, and its country name was "Shen".

The Great Shen Kingdom has been passed down for several generations, tens of thousands of years. The country has become more stable, but the internal strife has become more intense.

The capital of the Great Shen Kingdom is Shenjing City, the most prosperous city in Dongsheng Shenzhou, and is not inferior to Dongjing City of the Song Dynasty in Nanshanbuzhou.

As for the towns in Uttarakuru and Xiniuhezhou, they are far behind in development.

In the city of Shenjing, there is a Ningrong Street, which is the territory of the Jia family.

The Jia family had two dukes, namely, Duke Ning and Duke Rong, who both followed Taizu of Dashen to conquer the world and made great contributions. As a result, they were heavily rewarded, making the Jia family a very prestigious family in Dashen.

The Jia family, because they made their fortune in Jinling, are also known as one of the four major families of Jinling along with the Shi family, the Wang family, and the Xue family!
At first, the Jia family was at the top, followed by the Shi family, then the Wang family, and finally the Xue family.

But time has passed, and tens of thousands of years is not a short time, even in the ancient world.

The heroes of previous generations passed away one after another. Those who had made great contributions went to the Fire Cloud Cave, while those who had not made great contributions also practiced in other blessed caves to avoid the backlash of their humanity and the danger of going crazy!
That human destiny could help emperors and generals to be promoted at an unimaginable speed, but it was not without hidden dangers.

The backlash alone would cause great headaches for the rulers of all dynasties. Even if they were unwilling, they would be forced to abdicate to prevent chaos. As the saying goes, "The grace of a gentleman will be cut off after five generations." No matter how rich the grace of the predecessors was, it would eventually dissipate after thousands of years.

The Jia family, because of their incompetent descendants, was able to survive in the second generation, but after the third generation...

The speed at which the Jia family's reputation declined was also alarming.

Among the four major families, the Wang family is at the top, and the Jia family is ranked second, but they are about the same as the Shi family.

The Xue family, on the other hand, has always been very stable. It has always been the youngest of the four major families and is considered the money bag.

******
When Cao Ya concealed his aura and, with the help of Sun Wukong, avoided the sight of various immortals and Buddhas and arrived at the capital city of Dashen Kingdom, he heard others talking about the imperial concubine's visit to her parents.

"The emperor is merciful and has issued an edict to allow the imperial concubine in the palace to return home to visit her family."

"If we talk about which family has the most grand and magnificent influence, it has to be the imperial concubine of the Jia family! The likes of Concubine Zhou and Concubine Wu have to rank behind them."

"Who made the Jia family, with two nobles in one family, contribute to the country?"

"Tsk tsk, if anyone could establish some connection with the Jia family...it would be incredible!"

……

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

People on the streets were discussing the recent strange events in the capital city. Without a doubt, the imperial concubine's visit to her parents attracted almost all the attention.

The various families to which the imperial concubine belonged competed with each other, and in the end, it seemed that the Jia family came out on top.

But is this really a good thing for the Jia family?

Judging from Cao Ya's observation of the crowd on Ningrong Street, at least people from all branches of the Jia family, including servants and vassals, all believed that this was a great event!

These people all rely on the Jia family to make a living, earn money, and obtain resources for practicing Taoism.

Of course I wish the Jia family would become as strong as possible!

In the past, everyone was not stupid and could see the decline of the Jia family.

Now, with the hope of revival finally seen, there is a sense of joy both inside and outside the family, and the scene is prosperous.

"Quasi-saint immortal formation?"

Cao Ya looked around Ningrong Street. The Ningguo Mansion and the Rongguo Mansion came into view. The various mysteries therein, including the immortal magic array personally arranged by the two dukes of the first generation, did not escape Cao Ya's eyes.

In a humanitarian dynasty, the first generation of its founder is often the most powerful.

The founding monarchs generally possess the power of a quasi-saint, and when they are in power, they are the best in the quasi-saint realm!
Because of their great contributions to the founding of the country, even if they abdicated and no longer had the blessing of humanitarian luck, they could often maintain the level of quasi-saint.

Similarly, the civil and military officials who founded the country were also very powerful, including many Daluo and even quasi-saints.

Only in later generations will it gradually decline.

Not only the personal abilities of emperors and generals will weaken, but also the influence of humanity and destiny will weaken after the national strength declines.

The two first dukes of the Jia family, at their peak, with the help of their humanity, it was indeed possible for them to be on par with the monks who had just entered the quasi-saint stage.

Of course, after his abdication, it is likely that Ronaldinho will reach his peak.

And there are many restrictions.

If it weren’t for these flaws, humanity would have been taken over by all kinds of ruthless characters long ago!
The Three Emperors Taoist priest alone cannot resist the covetousness of so many saints.

Naturally, the immortal formation constructed by Duke Ningguo and Duke Rongguo is of quasi-saint level.

And this is also Ningrong Street’s biggest trump card!

Even the great formation of Shenjing City has the power of a quasi-saint!
However, these secrets are as clear as day from the perspective of a weak saint.

After all, the only holy place for humanity is the Fire Cloud Cave!
The dynasties throughout the ages might have built special paradises to accommodate emperors and generals who were unable to enter the Huoyun Cave, but their achievements were certainly not as great as those of the sages of the Huoyun Cave.

Moreover, the overall environment is not as good as Huoyun Cave.

It would be great if we could have three or five quasi-saints to support us.

It’s not like Huoyun Cave, where there are double-digit weak saints below the Three Emperors in the holy realm.

As for quasi-saints…there are hundreds and thousands of them!

Otherwise, Huoyun Cave will not be able to maintain its position as the first holy place in the human world. It will be feared by all dynasties and will not dare to violate the order established by Huoyun Cave.

"The strongest person in the Jia family right now is only Daluo, and there is only one of them! It should be Grandmother Jia."

"The rest are not up to the Daluo level."

Cao Ya had no intention of showing up in public. Sun Wukong's actions had confused the heavens, and it was not a chance for him to show off his power in front of others.

He was very clear that there were quite a few fairies and demons who were paying attention to the Jia family, either openly or covertly.

Among them, there are also weak saints and true Hunyuan!
Who wouldn't be curious about the plans of the Jade Emperor, Taoist Taixu, and Taoist Chixia?

If your identity is exposed before the critical moment, it will easily lead to bad things.

The so-called turning the tables... Now, it's not the right time.

"From the two mansions, including the direct and collateral clans, as well as the maids, housekeepers, housekeepers' wives, maids, servants, etc., there are at least a thousand people."

"There are so many hidden players among the big shots here... I'm afraid even the Jade Emperor can't tell how many!"

"Not to mention, there must be some powerful guys lurking in Shenjing City."

Cao Ya did not make a big fuss about it, but after a rough deduction, he knew that the inside story was shady and the water was deep.

Fortunately, he is already a weak saint, with powerful combat power, and invincible at the same level!

Even if the real Hunyuan descends, the ally of Huaguo Mountain, Sun Wukong, will rush to help immediately!
With this confidence, Cao Ya was methodical and not in a hurry at all.

"After the imperial concubine's visit, the Grand View Garden built to welcome her has received the imperial concubine's order, and the girls in the family can also live there with their maids. Well, Jia Baoyu is the only male, a little green among thousands of flowers."

Lin Daiyu's Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Xue Baochai's Hengwu Garden, Jia Baoyu's Yihong Courtyard, etc., all have their own unique features. They occupy the spiritual veins of heaven and earth, are filled with immortal air, and are suitable for practicing Taoism.

But even in such a beautiful place, flowers still fall and people wither...

It can only be said that in order to obtain the merits of the Great Dao, the Jade Emperor and his men used extremely cruel methods!

Because this is a prehistoric time period, the time scale is very long. After Princess Yuan came to visit her parents, it was not just three or five years before the Jia Mansion became "the land was covered with white and clean", but thousands of years!
Cao Ya also strolled around Shenjing and felt a little emotional.

This was the first time since he went to heaven that he got to see the sights of the human world.

To be precise, before going to heaven, he was also blindly searching for the opportunity to become an immortal. When he got the chance, he practiced diligently, but he never appreciated the beauty of the human world.

Cao Ya also found many masters in Shenjing City. Like him, they hid their identities and stayed here, plotting something.

However, those people did not notice Cao Ya's existence and thought he was just an ordinary person.

"My shoes are torn, my hat is torn..."

Suddenly, a burst of singing rang out on the street.
