Conferred God: Started from Swallowing the Heaven-Repairing Stone

Chapter 143 The alliance of princes
The Great Shang conducted an internal investigation because they were worried that the Chan sect would attack from within and destroy the King Tang's empire.

Then, if you don't check, you won't know. Once you check, you will be shocked. There are indeed many princes' children in the Shang Dynasty who worship the Golden Immortal of the Chan Sect as their teacher.

Huang Feihu’s eldest son, Huang Tianhua, was one of them. He was taken away by the Golden Immortal of the Chan Sect when he was three years old.

What kind of concept is this? What does a three-year-old child know? After being taught by the Golden Immortal of the Chan Sect for hundreds or thousands of years, I'm afraid he has been distorted from the root.

Not to mention asking him to go against business, even if you asked him to go against his parents, I guess he wouldn't hesitate.

Ever since Huang Feihu learned that the saint of the Chan sect was dissatisfied with the Shang Dynasty, he secretly wrote a letter to Huang Tianhua, suggesting that he go down the mountain and return home as soon as possible.

However, hundreds of years had passed, and Huang Tianhua still hadn't come down the mountain. This attitude really made Huang Feihu's heart ache.

It was hard for him not to suspect that his eldest son, whom he had placed high hopes on, was probably really brainwashed by the Chan Sect and stood on the opposite side of the Shang Dynasty.

It was precisely because of the doubts in his heart that Huang Feihu panicked when Ao Bing said this. He was unwilling to believe this fact.

"Wu Hou, I am not trying to sow discord between you and your father. Don't you understand that the grace of giving birth is not as great as the grace of raising a child?"

"Although Huang Tianhua was born to you, he was raised by True Man Qingxu. You can imagine how important you two are in his heart."

Ao Bing said this not to hurt Huang Feihu's feelings, but mainly to cause trouble for the Chan Sect.

Huang Feihu gave his son to Qingxu Zhenren for instruction, hoping that he would become an immortal in the future. But the result was that under Qingxu Zhenren's careful instruction, his son became his enemy.

Deliberately turning someone else's son into an enemy, what Qingxu Zhenren did was too disgusting. If it were to get out, his reputation would be ruined, and even the reputation of the Chan Sect would be affected.

Once the reputation of the Chan Sect was ruined, Ao Bing could do a lot. To put it simply, he could justifiably exclude the Chan Sect disciples from all aspects.

For example, after the Immortal Alliance is established, Ao Bing can completely prohibit them from expressing opinions on any matters, or even directly expel them from the Immortal Alliance and isolate them from the Immortal Path, on the grounds that the Golden Immortals of the Orthodox Sect have damaged the reputation of our Xuanmen and are a shame to our Immortal Path.

After all, the Chan Sect is the true teaching of Xuanmen and the model of immortality. If Ao Bing does not ruin the reputation of the Chan Sect first, then not only will he exclude them, but no matter what he does, the first people to compete with him for the dominant position will be the Chan Sect disciples.

Everything must be done with a legitimate reason. If the reason is not right, then the words will not flow. Only by destroying the reputation of the Chan Sect can their legitimacy be abolished. Otherwise, Ao Bing's plan in the immortal way is likely to be a wedding dress for the Chan Sect.

Yuanshi Tianzun is the supreme master among the immortals, and his disciples naturally have the righteousness to lead the immortal way. This is something that the disciples of Jiejiao cannot compare to.

It is for this reason that Ao Bing wants to ruin the reputation of the Chan Sect and then abolish its righteousness. If the Chan Sect's disciples are all notorious, how can they still be the role models of the immortal way and rule over the immortals?

We should also thank the Golden Immortal of the Chan Sect for his own misconduct, which has resulted in negative information about them everywhere. Otherwise, it would not have been easy for Ao Bing to ruin their reputation.

Now, he only needs to tell the victims truthfully what the Golden Immortal of the Chan Sect had done, so as to ruin their reputation to the greatest extent.

Just like what he said to Huang Feihu at this moment. His son was taught wrongly by Master Qingxu, and he might even become his enemy in the future. How could Huang Feihu not hate him? How could he not resent him?
He would definitely mobilize his connections to seek revenge, and regardless of whether his revenge was successful or not, Ao Bing's goal would be achieved.

What Qingxu Zhenren did will inevitably spread and be known by more people, and it will be difficult for his reputation not to be damaged.

"Huang will handle this matter himself, so there is no need for Uncle Long to worry about it."

Huang Feihu knew that Ao Bing was right, but he didn't want to listen any more, so he changed the subject and asked:
"May I ask, Lord Long, do you know why the saint is dissatisfied with my Great Shang and says that my fate has ended?"

This issue can be said to be the most concerned issue for the Shang Dynasty. They asked themselves, since they had never offended the Saint Yuanshi, how could they have provoked him to say such cruel words as "Cheng Tang's luck has run out" and "cursing the country to be destroyed."

"This is a secret of the immortal way, which cannot be revealed to mortals. You just need to know that my Jie Society will always stand on the side of the Great Shang."

Ao Bing really knew the specific reason, but he couldn't say it.

It's very simple. He couldn't tell Huang Feihu that the reason why Da Shang was targeted by Yuanshi Tianzun was all because of the involvement of Jiejiao.

The Great Shang was supported by Jiejiao and was deeply involved with Jiejiao. If the Great Shang was destroyed, Jiejiao would not be happy with the backlash of karma.

Therefore, if the Chan sect sends people to overthrow the Shang Dynasty, the Jie sect will never sit idly by and will definitely send people to rescue.

Then, the disciples of Jiejiao will be dragged into the calamity one after another, and fight with the disciples of Chenjiao, helping them complete the calamity of killing immortals and gods and fill up the List of Gods.

From this we can see that the reason why Da Shang was targeted by Chanjiao was because it was implicated by Jiejiao. If Da Shang was not targeted, how could Jiejiao be dragged into the disaster?

This is why the Conferred Gods Killing Tribulation must be fought in Da Shang, in order to drag the Jie Religion behind into the killing tribulation through Da Shang.

The disciples of Jiejiao have not committed any crime of killing, so if we don't find a reason to drag them into it and let them stay in seclusion in the temple to avoid the calamity, the disciples of Chenjiao alone will not be able to fill up the List of Gods and end the killing calamity of immortals and gods.

Of course, Da Shang also had problems of its own: it was too lucky and had too much power.

He actually held the power to confer gods and interfered with the laws of nature with human nature. This violated taboos and was targeted by the laws of nature. It was only natural that he took the opportunity to take back his power.

However, although Ao Bing knew these reasons, he couldn't say them out loud. Telling the truth to Da Shang would not only fail to solve the problem, but would deepen the gap between Da Shang and Jiejiao.

In that case, it’s better not to say anything.

"In fact, even the words like Cheng Tang's death is coming to an end cannot be said according to the rules."

"Only Nezha, who has a perverse and lawless personality, dares to speak out. If it were someone else, I'm afraid they would rather die than say it."

"However, not long after Nezha finished speaking, he suffered retribution. Not only was his body destroyed, but his master was also beheaded and his father imprisoned. It can be said that his family was destroyed."

Afraid that Huang Feihu would continue to ask questions, Ao Bing added another sentence, using Nezha's experience to hint at the terrible consequences of him revealing the secret.

"In that case, I won't ask any more questions. It's a pity that Nezha died too early and didn't reveal more information."

Huang Feihu also knew the taboos of the immortal way, and seeing that Ao Bing refused to say more, he did not continue to ask. Fortunately, at least they got the good news that the Jie Society would stand on their side, so it was not a complete loss.

It’s a pity that Nezha died, otherwise, we would be able to get a lot of information out of him.

"How can the trend of heaven be changed by just one sentence?"

Ao Bing heard this and shook his head. The killing calamity of immortals and gods was set by the way of heaven and could not be changed at all.

Not to mention that Nezha only said half of the sentence, "Cheng Tang's luck had run out." Even if he said the second half, "The sage ordered him to assist Xiqi and help Zhou attack Shang," it would not change anything.

Could the Shang Emperor kill the Duke of Xibo just because of this sentence? Obviously not. It was not that he did not want to kill him, but that he could not.

Zhou was the strongest vassal state. If the Shang emperor killed Xibohou, Zhou would surely rebel. Once Zhou rebelled, even if Shang could suppress it, it would be a miserable victory, and it would inevitably suffer a great loss of vitality.

There are more than one vassal state in the world. If the Shang Dynasty is seriously injured because of the attack on the Zhou Dynasty, its fate can be imagined, and its territory will inevitably be divided up by other vassal states.

Therefore, even if he knew that the Zhou Kingdom would rebel, the Shang Emperor would at most try to imprison the King of Xibo, but there was no way he could kill him.

Killing him is easy, but the consequences of killing him are not something that the current Shang Dynasty can bear. "The Shang Dynasty just needs to handle its own affairs. If the disciples of the Chan Sect come to cause trouble, I, the disciples of the Jie Sect, will deal with it."

It was the responsibility of the Jie sect to deal with the Chen sect for the Shang Dynasty, so Ao Bing took on the task and said that the Shang Dynasty did not need to worry about the Chen sect, as the Jie sect would take care of everything.

"Since the disciples of the Chan Sect will come to rescue us, I will not take Li Jing back with me. I will leave him to Renlong Bo to deal with."

After knowing that Li Jing was a prominent figure, Huang Feihu gave up the idea of ​​taking him back to Chaoge and instead talked about another matter:

"I wonder what the name of the sacrificial text that Ren Longbo chanted at Chentang Pass is, 'The black bird of heaven descended to give birth to the Shang Dynasty'? Can Ren Longbo let me copy a copy and bring it back to Chaoge?"

This was Huang Feihu's purpose in coming here, to bring back the black bird. For this reason, he stayed in Chentang Pass for a hundred years.

Huang Feihu waited in Chentangguan for as many years as Ao Bing had been in seclusion. Within a few months of the incident, he led his army to Chentangguan to investigate the situation and asked Ao Bing for the black bird.

But who would have thought that as soon as he arrived here, he learned that Ao Bing was in seclusion. He had no choice but to wait for Ao Bing to come out, and this wait lasted for more than a hundred years.

It was not until several hours ago that he learned the news that Ao Bing had come out of seclusion. He did not dare to delay at all and immediately led his troops to rush over as quickly as possible.

"Shang Song, Black Bird?"

Ao Bing thought about it for a moment and understood Huang Feihu's intention.

As the saying goes, literature can convey the truth. Although "Song of Shang: Xuanniao" is just a sacrificial text, the content recorded in it can touch the hearts of the people of the Shang Dynasty.

This article praises the achievements of Wu Ding and describes the splendor of the Shang Dynasty at its peak. When the people of the Shang Dynasty heard it, they all felt a yearning for it.

The people's will is the will of heaven. To touch the people's will is to touch the will of heaven.

Therefore, once the Xuanniao appeared, it could resonate with the national destiny of the Shang Dynasty, thereby enhancing the power of the Xuanniao and improving the strength of the Shang Dynasty.

For the Shang Dynasty, the Xuanniao coin was a strategic weapon. It was enshrined in the Taimiao and chanted frequently, which could enhance the country's fortunes. Naturally, they had to find a way to obtain such a precious treasure.

"If that is what the king wants, I will certainly do my best to help him."

After thinking for a while, Ao Bing took out a pen and paper, and with a wave of his hand, he copied the "Song of Shang: Xuanniao" in the innate divine script in front of Huang Feihu.

That is to say, calligraphy had not yet become popular at that time, otherwise, no one would fail to say good things when seeing Ao Bing's calligraphy.

"Thank you, Uncle Long!"

Upon seeing this, Huang Feihu thanked Ao Bing while carefully rolling up the Xuanniao text and putting it into a wooden box made of Tongtian Jianmu that had been prepared long ago.

The country’s most precious treasure must of course be handled with extreme caution.

"The advent of paper and pen has greatly facilitated writing. The contribution of Long Bo is no less than that of the ancient sages."

After putting away the Xuanniao script, Huang Feihu sincerely praised Ao Bing for the paper and pen he had seen earlier.

At this time, even bamboo slips had just appeared, let alone paper and pens. Ao Bing's invention of pens and paper was considered by the world to be an achievement comparable to that of ancient sages.

"Unfortunately, the cost is too high and it cannot be popularized and is not of great use."

Ao Bing replied disapprovingly that the paper he ordered people to make was very good, so good that it could carry magical powers and could be used directly as talismans.

But because it is too good, its cost is so high that it cannot be reduced and cannot be popularized.

Paper is used to spread words. If it is not universal, what use is it? Therefore, Ao Bing was very dissatisfied.

"Mr. Renlong cares about the people, and I admire him."

Huang Feihu was deeply shocked when he heard Ao Bing's sigh, and couldn't help but admire him from the bottom of his heart.

The value of the human dragon paper is so high that even someone of his status has to use it sparingly. If it were him, with such a treasure, he would definitely try every possible way to make money.

But Ao Bing, on the other hand, gave up the huge profits and instead wanted to reduce the cost to benefit more people. Such a pure mind is rare in this era.

The more this happens, the more precious the thought is.

"Don't flatter me. Do you have anything else to say? If not, you can leave now. I need to continue my retreat and sort out my gains."

Everything that needed to be said had been said, and Ao Bing began to order them to leave.

"There is one more thing. In another hundred years, it will be the day of the princes' alliance. The princes from all over the country will go to Dashang. The king said that Renlongbo has made great contributions and hopes to meet you. I hope Renlongbo will not be absent."

At this time, Huang Feihu hurriedly said.

The meeting of princes was a rule handed down from the Yellow Emperor period. At that time, it was held once every ten thousand years, but by the time of the Shang Dynasty, it became once every thousand years.

In name, the meeting of princes was an opportunity for the Shang Emperor and the princes to strengthen their relationship as they had not seen each other for many years.

In fact, the so-called meeting of princes meant that princes from all over the country went to Chaoge to report their situation to the Shang Emperor, and whether they were stronger or weaker than before.

Then, the Shang Emperor would decide whether to increase or decrease their tribute share, or maintain the status quo, based on the reports from the various princes.

In addition, many of the systems of the Shang Dynasty were also established during the meeting of princes. It can be said that the meeting of princes is very important, and its results can affect the development of the country.

"A hundred years later?"

"Please tell the king that I will definitely keep the appointment on time."

After thinking about it, Ao Bing nodded.

He must attend this meeting of princes. Since all the princes are present, he can take this opportunity to propose the revision of the history of the human race.

In this way, he could not only achieve his goal of compiling history, but also enhance his prestige and prepare for becoming a powerful official in the future. It could be said that he killed two birds with one stone.

At the same time, Ao Bing also had a vague premonition that if Marquis Su did not come to the meeting of princes, the Shang Emperor would probably use this as an excuse to send troops to attack the State of Su.

In this battle, the Soviet Union will definitely lose.

Then the next thing is that the nine-tailed fox will enter the palace.
