Taoist Myth: I am the last true immortal in the world

Chapter 610 Pleiades Star Official
In the living room.

After Qishou finished speaking, his eyes fell on Chen Yun's face.

The goddess next to him did the same, staring without blinking, as if wanting to see Chen Yun's reaction.

As the ancestor gods of the Khitan, they now finally see the Khitan prospering and hoping to rule the world, so naturally they want to get a piece of the pie.

For example, taking control of the command and thereby gaining the greatest credit.

In fact, Qishou and Tiannv, as the ancestor god and ancestor grandmother of the Khitan, are indeed qualified to become the monks and sacred commanders of this battle.

After all, the eight Khitan tribes were their descendants.

To truly rule the world, we still need Khitan troops.

Of course, they have the qualifications.

Being qualified is one thing.

Another thing is that Chen Yun took so much trouble to get Yelu Deguang to declare war on the Later Jin Dynasty, and he also sought the help of many sacred gods from the Erlang Temple in Guanjiang, so his contribution was of great importance.

Now he has laid the basic foundation.

Are you here to pick fruit now?
Anyone would probably not be happy about it, and would most likely refute it.

Not to mention whether the person involved is comfortable or not, even the bystanders can't stand it.

As soon as Qi Shou finished speaking, Feng Mengyao, the black mother who was sitting next to him, said calmly: "A man of ambition is not old, and a man without strategy is empty talk. Although Master Chen is young, the battle of Beizhou City was witnessed by all. It was he who planned and defeated the enemy."

Although Qi Shou has not taken the initiative to ask Chen Yun to "step down and let others take over", Heima has made it very clear that she does not support changing the leader at the last minute and is strongly supporting Chen Yun.

Chen Yun looked at Hei Mama with surprise. He never expected that Hei Mama, whom he met for the first time, would be so helpful.

Master Hu San followed closely and said, "The Black Wind Sect Leader is right. Chen Zhenren's achievements are obvious to all. We all obey his orders."

Master Liu, Master Huang, Old Lady Bai, Master Hui and Grandpa Hui looked at Qishou and Tiannv with a smile and a hint of disdain.

That’s right, today Heimam was invited by Mr. Hu San and others to help Chen Yun.

The reason for this is that the two religions, Chu Ma Xian and Shamanism, are involved in a "dispute over the orthodoxy of Taoism".

Chu Ma Xian belongs to the branch of Taoism.

Even if it is not authentic, people look down upon shamanism, which is a heterodox religion.

How come they allow shamanism to shit on their heads?

As for why they were able to invite Black Mama.

Because Master Hu San and Grandma Hu San are the guardian gods of Hei Mama.

In addition, Heima is also the chief guardian deity of the branch of Taoism in Northeast China.

In charge of all the immortals in the hall, including Hu, Huang, Bai, Liu, Hui, etc.

Of course, the position of "general manager" is usually taken over by Mr. Hu San.

In fact, there is another very powerful immortal in the Northeast Taoist sect, his name is the Long-browed Immortal Li Changgeng.

If this name may confuse many people, then he also has another name called "Master Du'e" which must be familiar to everyone.

This immortal is the main god of the Jiuding Tiesha Mountain in the northeast, and Heima is the great protector of the Changmei Immortal.

Precisely because Heima had a high status in the Northeast and had the support of the immortal Changmei behind her, she was not at all ambiguous about confronting Qishou and Tiannv, the two ancestor gods and grandmothers of the Khitan.

Qi Shou narrowed his eyes slightly, then smiled brightly, "Master Chen's contributions are obvious to all. I don't deny that."

Chen Yun originally thought that this was a contest between himself and Qishou.

As a result, after just a few words, he discovered that it was a confrontation between the shamans and the elves.

He couldn't help but laugh and just sat there without saying anything.

Qi Shou continued, "In the battle of Beizhou City, although there were Generals Kui Su and Zhao Da on the opposite side, these two gods did not take action, so it was just a minor fight."

Black Mama smiled and said, "You mean, Master Chen can only command minor fights?"

"I didn't say that." Qi Shou denied it flatly, "I just don't know how familiar Master Chen is with arranging troops, so I wanted to ask, in case a major war happens later and delays our army's progress."

Black Mama asked back, "So what if I'm familiar with him? So what if I'm not familiar with him? If Master Chen is not worthy of the position of commander, who do you think can be the commander? Could it be that... you want to be the commander?"

This is what Qishou originally thought in his heart.

But how can I say such a thing myself?

Just like when Cao Pi usurped the throne, he had to make Emperor Xian of Han decline the throne three times.

He originally wanted to persuade Chen Yun to give up his position voluntarily, but after being confronted by Heima Mama, he didn't know how to respond.

Qi Shou was silent for a while, then he said, "I'm just worried that Master Chen doesn't have enough combat experience, so..."

Mother Hei smiled and said, "Even if Master Chen doesn't have much combat experience, he still has Vaisravana King Li Jing by his side. Mr. Li is Vaisravana King and was once the military god of the Tang Dynasty. Can't he take on the responsibility of assisting Master Chen?"

Qishou was speechless and just stopped talking.

Chen Yun listened for a while, his smile growing wider, and he said softly: "I am indeed young, and my cultivation level is relatively low, so it is difficult for me to be competent for the current responsibility of commanding the overall situation. Today, I am curious that both the first student and the Black Wind Sect Leader are here, so how about this, which of you two can take on this heavy responsibility, and I will obey your command."

"what?"

"Uh?"

"Master Chen, what are you doing..."

The leaders including Heima, Qishou, Tiannv and Chumaxian were all stunned.

They really didn't expect that even though Heima had already silenced Qishou with words, Chen Yun would actually do such a thing.

This made everyone feel very strange and they didn't understand why Chen Yun did this.

Naturally, Chen Yun would not tell everyone that the battle in which the Khitans destroyed the Later Jin Dynasty was not a true battle to confer gods, and he could not gain any credit from it.

Therefore, it does not matter whether this monk is the sacred "commander-in-chief" or not.

This is one reason, but not the most important one.

The most important reason is that Chen Yun did not expect that after killing Taoist Gou Teng, he would directly enter the stage of refining Yang God.

He urgently needs free time to ensure his success in refining the Yang Shen.

Now someone is willing to take over this mess for himself.

Of course, deep down he wanted it.

So what if he commanded the Khitan to destroy the Later Jin Dynasty?

And you can't get credit.

All I have to do is control the direction and ensure that Khitan can destroy the Later Jin Dynasty. Nothing else matters.

Chen Yun thought to himself, if I had that much time, I might as well spend more time on practicing.

Qi Shou's eyes flickered as he asked, "Master Chen, are you serious?"

Black Mama, Master Hu San and other sect leaders all looked over with frowns on their faces.

Chen Yun said calmly, "Really? Whoever among you has the ability can take on this responsibility. I will inform my subordinates to follow your orders. I have something else to do here, so I won't talk to you any more for now."

After saying that, he stood up and walked out.

Hei Mama, Master Hu San and others looked at each other in bewilderment.

Qishou and Tiannv also looked at each other in confusion.

They were all confused by Chen Yun and really couldn't figure it out.

Although Qishou couldn't figure out what was going on, he was eager to seize power.

As soon as Chen Yun left, he immediately said, "Heifeng Sect Leader, all the Sect Leaders, now that Master Chen has said this, who do you think will take charge of the overall situation?"

Master Hu San, Master Liu and the others all looked towards Hei Mama.

Mama Hei looked at Chen Yun's back, thought for a moment and said, "I am a woman, I don't know how to deploy troops, you guys can do it yourself."

After saying that, she stood up and walked straight out the door.

Master Hu San, Master Liu, Master Huang Er and others saw that Hei Mama had no intention of fighting for power. Although they were unwilling, they took a deep breath and accepted it, saying that they would obey Qi Shou's orders next.

Having successfully fought for power, Qi Shou was overjoyed, and immediately stated: "Next, I will send out all the elite shamans to ensure the success of this battle!" Well, it's a pity that he didn't know that Kuimulang had called the other eight star officials of Kuixiu, and even more so that he didn't know that he had to invite nine star officials of Pleiades to help. Otherwise, Qi Shou would never dare to do what he did today.

……

the other side.

Chen Yun had just walked to the gate of the inner courtyard.

Black Mama's voice came from behind, "Master Chen, please stay for a moment."

Chen Yun stopped, turned around and asked, "I wonder what the leader wants to say?"

Black Mama came forward and said, "Master Chen, do you know why I came out to help you today?"

Chen Yun pretended to be confused and said, "I don't know. Please explain clearly."

Black Mother said: "There are two reasons. First, our Taoism is weak in the Northeast. If the Shamanism gets the upper hand in this Conferred God Battle, it will be more disadvantageous for the spread of faith in the future. As the chief guardian of the Taoism in the Northeast, I must ensure that the Shamanism will not continue to suppress me."

Chen Yun seemed quite surprised. He didn't expect that Hei Mama would be so frank.

"The second reason..." Mother Hei said slowly, "I have some connection with your master Zheng Yangzi. In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, when I was still a mortal, I met Zheng Yangzi by chance. He thought I was the reincarnation of a great god and was afraid that I would encounter disaster again, so he taught me some ways to protect myself. In the 22nd year of Jian'an during the reign of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, there was a plague, and I used the secret method of talisman water taught by Zheng Yangzi to save the people."

Oh, it’s another old friend of my mentor.

Chen Yun roughly understood why Heima Mama had supported him before.

He said politely, "Thank you for your concern, Senior."

Mama Hei asked curiously, "Master Chen, please forgive me for asking such a rude question. That strange head has been speechless because of what I said. Why did you take the initiative to give up your power?"

Chen Yun couldn't say that he wanted more time to cultivate his Yang Shen.

It sounds like you are not distinguishing between public and private.

Besides, he was not completely sure that he would succeed in refining the Yang Shen.

He thought for a moment and said vaguely, "You will know in the future."

Mother Hei's eyes lit up, and she said, "Could it be that Master Chen predicted that something big would happen in the future, so he is retreating to advance?"

Chen Yun continued perfunctorily: "That's about right. Anyway, I have my own reasons, so I can't tell you for now."

A smile immediately appeared on Black Mama's face. "I understand."

Chen Yun asked, "Master, do you have anything else to do? If not, I still have some things to do."

Black Mama said, "Nothing, Master Chen, just go and get busy."

Chen Yun nodded and turned to enter the inner courtyard.

……

In the following days, Zhao Yanshou led 50,000 vanguard troops to station in Nanle City on the north bank of the Yellow River.

On the 16th day of the first lunar month, Yelu Deguang led the main force and followed the vanguard army southward, stationed in Yuancheng near Nanle, surrounded Yedu, and sent troops to harass Liyang many times.

As the commander of the vanguard army, Zhao Yanshou naturally took on the responsibility of attacking Liyang.

In Liyang, the Jin court sent General of the Right Guard and Commander of the Right Divine Army Zhang Yanze to lead his troops to put up a stubborn resistance.

During these ten days, Chen Yun ignored all other matters and immersed himself in the process of refining the Yang God.

He took the Pure Yang Fire Dragon Pill every day, and with the help of the fifth turn of "Mr. Chen's Inner Alchemy Secret" - "Yang Sand Changing Bones", he has achieved certain results.

Chen Yun calculated the progress of "Yangsha Huan Gu".

It can be roughly judged that one quarter of it has been completed.

Today, Zhao Yanshou just led his troops to set up camp, preparing to rest for a night and attack Liyang City tomorrow morning.

Liyang City, the governor's office.

General Zhao Da, the nine star officials of Kui and the nine star officials of Pleiades who had just arrived were looking at the sky ahead, trying to see what sacred things there were in the Khitan army.

General Zhao Da looked at the auspicious light and black air over there and said with a smile: "Except for the arrival of a few new earthly immortals as guardians, there are not many other changes in the Khitan army."

Kuimulang also saw it. "I saw bursts of white light, clear air rising, and a trace of black wind mixed in, as well as various animal scenes. As expected, all the horse-riding immortals and shamans are out in full force. Although the Black Mother and Qishou have good cultivation, they are not a concern. Fortunately, the Changmei Zhenren didn't come, otherwise we might have to work harder."

As soon as the two finished talking, the Pleiades star officer beside them nodded slightly and said, "The only ones who may pose a threat to us in the Khitan army are Nezha, Li Jing and the Nine-headed Bull Demon King. Don't worry, let the Nine-headed Bull Demon King be held off by the general for a while. I will surround Li Jing with the Nine-headed Pleiades star officer, and the Nine-headed Kui star officer will attack Nezha. We will definitely succeed."

This Pleiades star official was wearing court robes, all thread-like in gold.

But I see the jingling of his pendants like musical notes, and the sound of the swift wind like swinging bells; his green feather fan opens to invite the Pleiades, and the heavenly fragrance wafts across the whole house.

Behind the Pleiades star official, there are eight other star officials standing.

Like Kui, Pleiades is also guarded by nine star officials, and the main god is naturally the Pleiades star official.

The other eight star officials are Tian'a Star Official, Yue Star Official, Tianyin Star Official, Chuhao Star Official, Tianyuan Star Official, Juanshe Star Official, Tianchan Star Official and Lishi Star Official.

In the astronomical records of the official histories of the past dynasties, the Pleiades has the following meanings:

First, Pleiades means "hairy head" and represents the Hu people.

This is to interpret the misty Pleiades as the image of a Hu person with disheveled hair.

The ancients believed that the seven stars in the Pleiades were large and moving as if they were jumping, which would indicate the rise of the Hu army.

Second, Pleiades is the "White Clothes Meeting", which represents military deaths.

The ancients believed that if one of the stars in the Pleiades disappeared, it was a sign of war and death.

Third, Pleiades is the eyes and ears of the sky, in charge of verbal conversations and also in charge of prison affairs.

Therefore, the ancients believed that if the Pleiades star was bright and big, it meant that there were no treacherous ministers around the monarch; if the star was dark and small, it meant that close ministers were executed; and if the star was shaking, it meant that the monarch listened to slander and killed loyal ministers.

Zhang Heng believed that if the Pleiades star was bright, the lawsuits were fair, but if it was dark, the punishments were excessive.

If six stars are as bright as the big star, it means there will be a flood, or a meeting in white, which means a funeral.

Fourth, the area between Pleiades and Betelgeuse is the Celestial Street.

The Pleiades are the "flaghead", or the vanguard cavalry of the emperor's guard of honor.

Bi is a rare chariot for hunting.

They were lined up on both sides of the Heavenly Street, and they were the forerunners of the emperor's journey.

In addition, the Pleiades star official is one of the twenty-eight constellations.

Its true form is a big rooster, and its duty is to "crow at dawn."

These nine star officials also have great magical powers and unlimited power, and are by no means ordinary people.

Now Kuimulang has summoned eight star officials from his own constellation, and with the help of nine star officials from the Pleiades constellation, he can be said to be sure of victory.

……

On this side of the Khitan army.

A group of monks and saints just came out of the central military tent.

Chen Yun, Qishou, Heima and other immortals went to listen to Zhao Yanshou, Zhao Yanzhao and others discuss how to attack Liyang City tomorrow.

Now, all the monks and saints are looking at Liyang City, wanting to see the auspicious light over there and analyze which saints are guarding it.

This is necessary work.

As the saying goes, if you know yourself and the enemy, you will be victorious in any battle.

How can we have a countermeasure if we don’t even know who the powerful opponents are among the enemy?
Chen Yun stared at the auspicious lights surging above Liyang City for a long time without saying a word.

Nezha, Li Jing, the nine-headed Bull Demon King and other sacred beings were in doubt and confusion.

Black Mama, Master Hu San, Master Liu and other leaders of the Chu Ma Xian Hall all changed their expressions, and then looked to the side with a sneer on their faces.

The ones with the ugliest expressions at this moment would probably be Qishou and Tiannv.

They saw the auspicious light surging in Liyang City like a vast ocean. It was obvious that there were many sacred beings gathered there, and they were very powerful.

Qishou and Tiannv are both in the realm of immortals, although they are only in the early stages and their strength is far inferior to Nezha, Li Jing, the nine-headed Bull Demon King and others, but they still have some knowledge. From those auspicious lights, they can analyze that the nine star officials of Kui and Mao, plus General Zhao Da, may have gathered in Liyang City.

In other words, are there now nineteen super powerful people in the late stage of the immortal realm in Liyang City?

Qishou and Tiannv were trembling in their hearts. Not to mention that Nineteen was in the late stage of the immortal realm, even if it was just one of them, the two of them could not defeat him together!
At this moment, the couple finally understood why Chen Yun had been so quick to "step down and let others take over". It turned out that he was setting a trap!
