Conferred Gods: Start with a Phoenix clone

Chapter 39: Breaking down mountains and cutting down temples
Ironically, Deng Chanyu had no problem beating people, but she didn't dare to beat a god, fearing unnecessary karma. King Zhou was very cautious about beating people, fearing that it would affect his reputation as a wise king, but with his status, beating a god was like a piece of cake.

When I heard this, I was like, what? The Dragon King of the Jing River protects Xiqi, ensuring a bumper harvest every year? Isn't this Dragon King afraid of angering the Great Merchant Emperor?

King Zhou had no excuse to deal with King Jichang of Xibo, but he had too many excuses to deal with the Dragon King of Jinghe River.

The next day, when he went to court, he said loudly: "I have heard that there is a Jinghe Dragon King in Xiqi. He is good at misleading the good people and slandering the wise men of the court. He has been rude to me! Mei Bo."

He was too lazy to find an excuse and just labeled him "rude".

Mei Bo, a senior official known for his uprightness and courage to speak out, stepped out from the ranks and said, "I am here."

"Take my precious sword, destroy their temples, demolish their lewd shrines, and spread enlightenment throughout Xiqi. Do not allow this evildoer to stir up trouble."

This was a very common thing, not involving any issues of principle, so Mei Bo agreed readily: "I obey your order."

Prime Minister Shang Rong did not say anything. Suppressing Xiqi was the task of three generations of kings on the Shang Dynasty side. As a veteran minister of three dynasties, he had done similar things many times. He knew that King Zhou was taking advantage of the situation. From the perspective of the Shang Dynasty, he did not think there was anything wrong with it.

You gods can roam freely in heaven, and we have no right to interfere. But if you come to the human world, you will be under the jurisdiction of the human world. This is what the Shang Dynasty court thought and did.

Mei Bo was the first loyal minister to be burned with fire in the original novel. He was famous for his uprightness and courage to speak out. Not to mention that he had no friendship with King Xibo, even if he did, he would not show favoritism at this time.

Xibo Hou. Xibo Hou didn't have much of an opinion on this. Jinghe Dragon King? Who is that? Do I know him?

When he heard that Mei Bo was going to destroy the statues and the temple, he immediately sent Xiqi general Nangong Shi with 500 soldiers to go with him. When you have nothing to do, you can help carry soil and dig holes to show Xiqi's obedience to Chaoge.

There is a temple for the Dragon King of Jinghe River on the ground. In the Shang Dynasty, there were many sacrificial activities. Any mountain spirit or water monster had a temple, not to mention the Dragon King who was officially canonized by the Heavenly Court.

There were also worshippers and believers in the temple of the Jinghe Dragon King. When they heard that Mei Bo wanted to demolish the temple, the two sides immediately confronted each other.

Nangong Shi certainly couldn't just watch Mei Bo, a skinny old man, chop people with a sword in his hand. After two rounds of fighting, the believers refused to retreat, so he immediately gave the order to shoot arrows.

Arrows flew like locusts, and believers and priests were shot to death all over the ground.

The Dragon King of Jinghe River, who was tracking a team of divine beasts in the mountains, sensed something and was horrified. He immediately flew on a cloud and returned to Jinghe River.

At this time, Mei Bo held the imperial sword and was about to chop down the statue of the Jinghe Dragon King in the temple.

"Asshole! How dare you bully me like this? Come on, gather the troops and charge out!" The Dragon King of Jinghe River was already furious. Things had been going wrong recently, and his anger hadn't subsided. Now he saw this and thought, "Oh my god, is this a slap in the face? If you dare to hit me in the face, I'll kill you all!"
"Your Majesty, please calm down. Your Majesty, please calm down!" Prime Minister Turtle urged earnestly.

What's the situation of the Dragon Clan now? Don't you have any idea in your mind? The human race is the protagonist of heaven and earth, and the Dragon Clan is nothing!

During the Tang Dynasty, the underworld dared to capture Emperor Taizong Li Shimin and take him to the underworld for a day trip. They also pulled out Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng to scare Old Li. Emperor, you don’t want to be pinned to the ground and beaten by your father and brother after you die, do you?

Come and get the scriptures quickly. If you get the scriptures, you will have a good end and there will be a lot of benefits. Lao Li was immediately scared.

At that time, it was mainly because the human race had been in civil war for many years and its luck had declined too much. In addition, Buddhism was secretly pushing this matter, so Buddhism could withstand the backlash of the human race's luck.

This is the Shang Dynasty! Even Nuwa had to go through a lot of trouble to deal with King Zhou. A tiny Jinghe Dragon King is nothing in front of the Human Emperor!

Prime Minister Turtle hugged the legs of the Jinghe Dragon King and said, "Your Majesty, please do not act rashly! The Jinghe water tribe will remember this day's shame and will make Shang Tang pay for it one day!"

The Jinghe Dragon King suppressed his anger, and Mei Bo on the ground held a sword and cut off the neck of the Jinghe Dragon King statue with a "click".

The Dragon King in the air felt as if the luck of the human race had turned into countless sharp swords, cutting him into pieces. He covered his neck and didn't say a word for a long time.

His fortune was originally very strong, but in the face of the torrent of humanity, fate, luck, and feng shui were all useless.

If he could see his own fortune, he would find that after this sword, his fortune instantly dropped to the bottom.

The statue of the Jinghe Dragon King was chopped down and the temple was knocked down. He felt upset for a while and no longer cared about chasing the team of divine beasts. He returned to his "unfinished house" Dragon Palace and announced that he would go into seclusion to recuperate.

When Mei Bo attacked the temple, King Ji Chang of the Western Zhou Dynasty, who was well versed in divination, secretly divined and noticed that there had been slight changes in the fortune of Xiqi. However, the changes were rather subtle and would not have much impact in the short term.

Chaoge City on the other side.

Du Yuanxian, the Grand Astronomical Advisor who was observing the celestial phenomena at night, reported that Xiqi's fortune had declined, and King Zhou was very happy.

This is a very profitable business. Apart from asking Maber to make a few more trips, there is no cost at all.

King Zhou praised Fei Zhong publicly at the court meeting, saying several words about his loyalty to the country. He also praised him in private, almost explicitly telling him to find out what was wrong with Xiqi and to chop down as many obscene temples that could affect Xiqi's fortune as possible!

When he returned to his own bedroom, Queen Jiang and Concubine Huang came to give him advice again, repeating the same old things, asking him to listen more to the advice of veteran ministers, to be frugal, to observe etiquette, and to be a benevolent ruler. They kept repeating the same old things over and over again, making him annoyed. He waved his hand firmly to let them leave.

He was feeling uncomfortable, so no one else could feel comfortable either. He issued another decree to Xiqi.

He ordered Xibohou Jichang to use his sword to slay the Dragon King of the Jing River. What? You don't know where the Dragon King of the Jing River is? Is there a difference between immortals and mortals? I don't care. Aren't you known as a sage of the time, with unparalleled divination skills? You can calculate it! If you can't calculate it, you're not a sage. If you calculate it but don't act, you're disobeying an order!
Mei Bo obeyed the order and handed the sword to Ji Chang. Then he supervised the King of Xibo to see how he would kill the Dragon King.

It has to be a dragon. Mei Bo doesn't tolerate any ingratitude. Don't try to fool him by looking for a wild boar.

Ji Chang really had no choice but to send his men to search everywhere, and at the same time use his divination ability to the extreme to divine the specific location of the Jinghe Dragon King.

Deng Chanyu, King Zhou, and Ji Chang, the three forces of human destiny converged together. Although everyone's starting points were different, the results were the same, that is, the death of the Dragon King of Jinghe River!
