Conferred God: Started from Swallowing the Heaven-Repairing Stone

Chapter 357 Estrangement
"I see!"

"No wonder Lei Zhenzi was adopted by Xibohou as his adopted son. It turns out that he was born because of Xibohou. They are destined to be father and son."

Under Ao Bing's astonished gaze, purple air mixed with lightning, first dissolving the destructive energy contained in the thunder, leaving only the purest vitality of creation.

Soon, the vitality of the creation transformed by the thunderbolt was enlightened by the purple energy of the saint, and its intelligence was greatly opened, and it gave birth to a congenital divine baby, which fell to the ground. And this baby was obviously Lei Zhenzi.

Lei Zhenzi also had extraordinary luck. He was originally an innate thunder that was born and died at the same time. But he happened to meet King Wen who was enlightened, and he performed the Zhen hexagram when he heard the thunder.

Zhen Gua, one of the sixty-four hexagrams of the post-natal period, has influenced future generations for countless years. It is the crystallization of the wisdom of King Wen of Zhou and a treasure of human civilization.

First, Fuxi performed the Xiantian Bagua and became the Saint Emperor of Mankind. Later, King Wen performed the Houtian Bagua. Although he was not as good as the Saint Emperor, he could also be called the Saint King.

When the Zhen hexagram came out, people in all directions were moved, causing all the laws of heaven and earth to resonate. As a result, the sign of King Xibo becoming a saint appeared, and the purple aura of morality protected his body.

When a saint travels, he is accompanied by purple air. This purple air is the purple air of morality, also known as the air of education. It can enlighten all living beings, enlighten all spirits, and turn stubborn stones into beautiful jade.

Although the innate thunder is a dead thing and has no intelligence, it is lucky enough to be able to blend with the purple energy of morality, so it is enlightened and gains intelligence.

Since it has awakened its intelligence, it cannot be considered a dead thing. As it happens, thunder not only has a destructive side, but also a creative side.

Thunder brings wisdom, and life comes from death, which is in line with the principle that things will turn to their opposites when they reach their extremes. The ultimate destruction is rebirth. Therefore, thunder changes, generates the energy of creation, and becomes a divine baby, which descends into the world.

This is the origin of Lei Zhenzi, who was born from the Zhen Gua caused by the innate thunder. And because the Zhen Gua originated from Xibo Hou, Lei Zhenzi and Xibo Hou formed a father-son relationship and were considered his offspring.

God-given offspring!
Moreover, this offspring is extremely talented.

Lei Zhenzi was not the first god born from the energy of a saint. There were similar beings before him. Among them, the one Ao Bing was most familiar with was her senior sister, Turtle Spirit Holy Mother.

The Turtle Spirit Mother is not a congenital god or demon, but an alien species from heaven and earth. Although she is born with a strong body, it is impossible for her to transform without a heaven-defying opportunity.

So she practiced hard for tens of thousands of years, but even with the teachings of a saint, she was still unable to transform.

It was not until Cangjie created characters and manifested the literary spirit in the shape of tortoise wings that she took the opportunity to absorb a few strands of its spirit and was able to transform into a human form.

The Turtle Spirit Mother has only absorbed a few strands of literary energy, but she has become so extraordinary. Lei Zhenzi is simply the incarnation of the Zhen Gua vision. His talent is definitely not lower than hers.

"How lucky is Xibo Hou. For ordinary people to have a unicorn child is already a stroke of luck."

"But he is so good. Each of his descendants is better than the last. There are gods, holy kings, saints, and gods."

"It's as if all the essence of the world is concentrated in his house, which makes people jealous."

Coming back to his senses, Ao Bing said with envy on his face, "The Xibohou family is truly amazing.

He himself needs no introduction, he was a saintly king whose name was passed down through the ages. And his eldest son, Bo Yikao, was named Ziwei Emperor after his death, the second-in-command of the Three Realms, second only to the Jade Emperor.

His second son, Ji Fa, became the famous King Wu in later generations.

His fourth son was even more remarkable. He was the founder of Chinese civilization, the formulator of Zhou rites, and the sage Duke of Zhou, Ji Shudan.

Four fathers and sons, two holy kings, a great emperor, and a saint, it is outrageous. And this is not the end, now there is another natural god.

This family is going against the will of heaven!
According to legend, Emperor Gou Chen and Emperor Zi Wei were brothers. If we think in this way, Lei Zhenzi, who disappeared in later generations, might have been named Emperor Gou Chen.

After all, like the Southern Emperor, the authority of the Gou Chen Emperor also involves thunder and lightning, and he is also in charge of all thunder. And Lei Zhenzi was conceived by thunder and lightning, so it is appropriate to name him the Gou Chen Emperor.

"If Lei Zhenzi is really the Emperor Gou Chen, then the Xibohou family can be said to be the biggest winners of the Conferred God Contest. They are also the most powerful family in the human race after the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. No one can match them."

Lei Zhenzi is Emperor Gou Chen, and the more Ao Bing thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

Because if this is true, it means that in later generations, the innate wind and thunder apricot tree really fell into the hands of Yun Zhongzi and Lei Zhenzi, master and disciple.

Without the innate wind and thunder apricot tree, with Lei Zhenzi's background and circumstances, he might not be qualified to become Emperor Gou Chen, but as he possesses the innate wind and thunder apricot tree, he certainly has the qualification.

The ten innate spiritual roots, which are as valuable as innate treasures, can still support the position of a god.

"It's useless to analyze so much. It's better to grab Lei Zhenzi and train him now. In this way, we only need to wait for a while to know whether he has a connection with the Xiantian Wind and Thunder Apricot Tree."

After thinking about it, Ao Bing walked towards the place where Lei Zhenzi was born, ready to take him back to Longzhou.

Even if Lei Zhenzi has nothing to do with the innate wind and thunder apricot tree, he is a natural born general and the one who carries the destiny of this catastrophe. It is definitely not a loss to keep him by my side.

Besides, there were only seven people who survived the Conferred God Tribulation, became saints in the flesh, and retired after completing their mission. Lei Zhenzi was one of them, so his ability was naturally beyond words, and he was the best among the disciples of the two sects.

It is no exaggeration to say that he is a top-notch fighter and there is no reason to miss him.

……

On the other side, after a deafening thunder, the rainstorm suddenly stopped. Duke Xibo and his followers walked out of the cave where they had taken shelter from the rain and were ready to continue on their journey.

But at this moment, Xibohou suddenly felt an inspiration, looked around, and said to his attendants: "When the clouds pass, a general will be born. The star of the general will appear. Come with me to find the star of the general."

Upon hearing this, the attendants were speechless. This place was full of high mountains and dense forests, and there was no trace of human beings. How could a general come from here? It would be more like a tiger, leopard, jackal or wolf.

However, although they were dissatisfied in their hearts, they did not dare to show it on their faces and could only look around.

Not long after, they heard a sound like a child crying next to an ancient tomb. When they looked forward, they found it was indeed a child.

Everyone was amazed when they saw this, and couldn't help but say, "This place is deserted, how could a child suddenly appear, and near an ancient tomb?"

"If it's not a monster, then it must be the star general that you mentioned. Why don't you bring him here and present him to you?"

Under normal circumstances, if they saw a baby suddenly appear near an uninhabited ancient tomb, everyone would definitely hide as far away as possible and not dare to approach.

But thinking of what King Xibo had said before, they all felt that this boy was definitely not a monster, but a general sent down from heaven, a god who had descended to earth.

Therefore, they hurried forward, picked up the child, and handed it to King Xibo to see.

"I should have a hundred children, but now I only have ninety-nine. This child is the right number for me to have a hundred children. It is a wonderful thing."

When the Duke of Xibo saw that the child had a face as rosy as a peach and bright eyes, he could not help but rejoice.

He was a master of Yi Dao, and he could tell the origin of this child at a glance. He knew that this was the offspring given to him by God, a heaven-sent unicorn child. How could he not be happy?
Just as he finished speaking, thinking of his future fate, Xibo Hou couldn't help but sigh: "After entering Chaoge, I am afraid that I will not be able to protect myself, and I will not be able to take care of this child."

"Why not give him to the nearby villagers to raise, and then bring him back to Xiqi when I return from Chaoge."

Having said this, the Duke of Xibo ordered his men to hold the child tightly and continued to ride forward, climbing the mountain and crossing the ridge, heading towards the nearby village.

However, after walking only a few dozen miles forward, they saw a Taoist standing on the side of the road. He had a handsome figure, a strange appearance, an unusual Taoist style, and a wide robe with big sleeves.

The Taoist looked as if he had left the world. He bowed in front of the horse and said, "Greetings, my lord. I bow to you." Xibohou hurriedly dismounted and returned the greeting. He asked, "Excuse me, Jichang. May I ask where you are from and where you are going, my lord?"

This Taoist was obviously Yun Zhongzi, and he replied: "I am Yun Zhongzi, the Qigong practitioner from Yuzhu Cave in Zhongnan Mountain. I heard thunders just now and a star general appeared. I traveled thousands of miles to find him. I am honored to see your face today."

Although Xibohou was on good terms with the Chan sect, he did not know all of the Chan sect's disciples. He only knew the Twelve Golden Immortals.

Yun Zhongzi was a nominal disciple of Yuanshi Tianzun, but he did not receive the true teachings, so it was not surprising that King Xibo did not recognize him.

"I see."

After hearing this, Duke Xibo immediately ordered his attendants to take the child and hand him to Yun Zhongzi.

"As expected of a star general, a natural born god, indeed extraordinary!"

Yun Zhongzi took the child and took a look at him. He couldn't help but praise him. Then he said seriously:

"Sir, I want to take this boy to Zhongnan and accept him as my disciple. When you return, I will present him to you. What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Xibohou said happily, "I was just worrying about how to place this child. The Taoist priest is willing to take him away, which solves a big problem for me. But, when we meet again in the future, what shall we use as a witness?"

Yun Zhongzi thought about it and was about to give the child a name, but he saw a divine man wearing a Zhoutian crown and a Wanxiang robe, who looked very outstanding, striding towards him from afar.

"Wait a minute!"

A "wait a minute" attracted the two men's attention. Soon, Xibohou bowed and said, "Ji Chang meets the Prime Minister. I wonder why the Prime Minister is here?"

The person who came was none other than Ao Bing. After all, it was a matter of stealing someone's opportunity. Even though he had arrived as quickly as possible, he was still almost a step too late.

"I've met Xibohou!"

Stopping in front of the two men, Ao Bing returned the greeting.

He knew the King of Xibo. After all, Ao Bing had presided over a meeting of princes, and as the leader of the princes in the west, the King of Xibo could not have not known him.

"Is this boy the descendant of Marquis Xibo?"

After taking a look at the baby in Yun Zhongzi's arms, Ao Bing asked knowingly.

"I passed by a precious land and got a unicorn child from heaven, who became my hundredth son."

Xibo Hou didn't know what Ao Bing meant, so he had to tell the truth. Although he was a master of Yi Dao, Ao Bing's secret was covered up by Tian Dao himself, so he couldn't figure out anything related to Ao Bing.

"Do you want to give this boy to Yun Zhongzi as a disciple?" Ao Bing continued to ask.

At this time, Yun Zhongzi vaguely sensed Ao Bing's purpose, and before Xibohou could speak, he spoke first:
"Brother Renlong, this is a private matter between me and Lord Xibo. It seems to have nothing to do with you, right?"

"Humph, what do you mean it has nothing to do with me? Publicly and privately, this matter has nothing to do with me." With a cold snort, Ao Bing scolded:

"Yu Gong, the Chan sect is the great enemy of the Shang Dynasty, and Xibo Hou is an important official of the Shang Dynasty. As an important official, he asked his descendants to worship the great enemy as their teacher."

"What is this for?"

"As the Prime Minister of the Shang Dynasty, I know this, so how can I not care?"

"Personally, I am a person who is eager to help the public and I cannot tolerate evil things. Others dare not point out what you have done, but I do!"

After killing Taiyi Zhenren, Ao Bing became a mortal enemy with the Chan Sect, so he didn't need to have any bottom line in doing things and just wanted to destroy the Chan Sect.

"you……"

Hearing this, Yun Zhongzi was furious, but he opened his mouth but could not utter a word to refute. Because every word Ao Bing said was true, and he really couldn't refute it.

"I was careless. I didn't know that Taoist Master Yun Zhongzi was a disciple of the Chan Sect. If that's the case, my son should have no chance to be with him."

At this time, Xibohou interrupted. When the two of them told each other their origins, they deliberately did not mention Chanjiao, because they did not dare to say it for sure.

In this way, even if something happened later, Xibo Hou could just claim that he didn't know. But now, the tacit knowledge was revealed by Ao Bing, and Xibo Hou couldn't claim that he didn't know. How could he dare to let his son worship Yun Zhongzi as his teacher?

Just as Ao Bing said just now, as an important official of the Shang Dynasty, his unclear relationship with the Chan Sect was already a serious crime, and now he dared to let his child join the Chan Sect.

What is this for? There is no problem in charging him with treason.

"Don't blame me, Lord Xibo. I didn't mean to ruin your child's chance. I was trying to save him."

"You are a person of the mortal world, and you don't know anything about the outside world. You think that Chanjiao is the lineage of saints. It is a great opportunity for your child to join it."

"That's not the case. Many years ago, a disciple of the Chan Sect behaved unruly and offended the Emperor of Heaven, causing him to face a calamity of death. He had to search everywhere for someone to take his place."

"So, joining the Chan Sect at this time is definitely not a good thing. Instead, you will be regarded as a scapegoat by your unscrupulous master and used to survive the killing calamity for yourself."

"If you were born in an ordinary family, it would be a good opportunity for you to take the blame for the disciples of the Chan Sect."

"After all, it is difficult for a child from an ordinary family to achieve wealth and honor, let alone becoming an immortal. But if he takes the place of disaster for a disciple of the Chan Sect, he can be deified after death and be worshipped by the people."

"But he is your child, born in a noble family, not an ordinary family."

"He is destined to be rich and prosperous in this life. Even if he practices Taoism, the human race has countless top inheritances for him to choose from. How can he be a scapegoat for others?"

Knowing that Xibohou was dissatisfied, Ao Bing deliberately explained. Logically, he didn't need to explain, after all, no one could find fault with what he did.

But he still explained that his purpose was to alienate the relationship between King Xibo and the Chan sect.

Duke Xibo has always been known for his virtue. After hearing about the practices of the Golden Immortal of the Chan Sect, if he continues to associate with him, his reputation will inevitably be damaged.

Between reputation and teaching, King Xibo had to lose one.

"Ah this..."

Xibo Hou found it hard to believe this was true, and couldn't help looking at Yun Zhongzi. But Yun Zhongzi had already covered his face and walked away in shame before Ao Bing told him about this.

He also had some dignity and knew that this matter was too despicable to be publicized.

In addition, Yun Zhongzi had indeed suffered an unprovoked disaster. He was a true immortal of good fortune, and like Nan Ji Xian Weng, he had not fallen into the calamity. Therefore, when he accepted disciples, he really accepted disciples, and he was not looking for someone to take the place of the calamity.
