Chapter 507: The Emperor Changing Traders [Three Watches Asking for a Monthly Pass]
When Qingsu rushed to the underworld, Li Ping'an secretly supported him for a while.
It's the same way anyway.
He stared at the shadow of his master, and some cranky thoughts came to his heart; Thinking of the bloody case in the Xuanwu world, I was a little angry.
Li Ping'an naturally knows that there are always traitors in the world, and there will always be such tragedies.
What annoyed Li Ping'an the most was that the mechanism of Heavenly Court seemed to be broken.
This is still the newly built Heavenly Court!
Just because of the absorption of the old forces of the human race, there is also this common problem?
Then just clean it from top to bottom!
The Queen Mother Yaochi continued to tighten the rules of heaven, and in the hundreds of years after his retreat, more than 1,900 new rules and regulations were added, but can these rules really go out of the main heaven and earth?
Now if it is said that the Heavenly Court is newly built, and everything has just started, it is too funny, and the current Heavenly Court has controlled seventy percent of the land between heaven and earth!
The root cause of this tragedy, to put it bluntly, is that there is a rotten spot within the Heavenly Court!
If the heavens are rotten, the outside will be rotten!
This sect's bloody case is a ready-made grasp.
Li Ping'an has decided to make this matter a big one and see how many tigers can be shocked.
Seeing Qing Su fly into the underworld, Li Ping'an looked at the capital city from a distance, and his mood recovered a lot.
In the past few hundred years, the development of the underworld has not been slow.
- Most of the living beings in heaven and earth will be attracted to this place by the way of heaven after death, and the number of ghosts is innumerable, as long as construction and labor are used as a way of punishment and atonement, even the largest city can be built quickly.
Compared with the landscape in the city, Li Ping'an wants to see Dong'an City.
Dong'an City has been built by Lao Li for hundreds of years, and has become a veritable cultural and economic center of the flood wilderness, and it is the most luxuriant place for the soulless arts.
It's just a pity that there is no rush to see man-made wonders......
"It's important to get down to business first."
Li Ping'an turned around and rushed to the Palace of Our Lady.
When he was in retreat in Xuandu City, he had a general understanding of the changes between heaven and earth, and Zi Yao would also tell all the major events that happened during each period.
But Nanzhou has always been out of Li Ping'an's sight.
Heavenly Court only roughly knows that Nanzhou is generally stable, there are no major disasters, and it will not take care of Nanzhou on weekdays; Even if Heavenly Court wanted to take care of it, without Li Ping'an coming forward, Zuo Shou would not easily let the Heavenly Court Immortal Official enter Nanzhou.
Dao Immortal Tribulation will come as soon as it is said;
Nanzhou is also the main stage of the Dao Immortal Fengshen Tribulation, and when it comes to the Fengshen Tribulation, there will inevitably be a matter of the Martial King's defeat.
Whether heaven and earth can move towards consummation, the Great Tribulation of the Gods is very important, and this is the most important thing that Li Ping'an must face at present.
Therefore, what Li Ping'an said about making some arrangements is actually going to Nanzhou to plant some seeds.
He hid his tracks and quietly arrived at the Palazzo Notre-Dame.
He can't break through the Peerless Great Array, which doesn't mean that he can't break through the Great Array of Protections of the Holy Mother Palace.
Li Ping'an did not alarm the left waiter, as if he was in a no-man's land, he slipped into Nuwa Niangniang's bedroom, got into the wardrobe with familiarity, and found the whirlpool that entered Nanzhou.
He lowered his head and burrowed into it, and his body was moved to Nanzhou.
Hundreds of years of wind and frost have blown, and the mundane has been vicissitudes.
The original courtyard has become a desert, Li Ping'an stood up from the yellow sand, and there were ruins in sight, and a new city standing in the desert oasis could be seen in the distance.
His immortal sense spread, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
He also thought that Nanzhou had become desertified due to population explosion and excessive deforestation, and the immortal knowledge had spread for tens of thousands of miles, only to find that the landform had not changed much, only a small part of the area appeared a long yellow sand, and a small part of the area turned into Wang Ze.
It seems that the distribution of precipitation has changed.
"Human sacrifice is rare, this place should be the vassal state of the Shang Kingdom, and it has been changed to cattle and sheep sacrifice, which is very good." ’
Li Ping'an suddenly felt that his previous toss as the Great God of the Xuangui was also quite meaningful.
Then, Li Ping'an took a step forward, and the boundless land quickly crossed under him, and in a blink of an eye, he had arrived at the center of Nanzhou, the new capital of the Shang Kingdom that was more prosperous, more huge, and spread hundreds of miles from the outer city.
Merchants seem to like to move their capitals.
Li Ping'an thought so, the smile on his lips quickly dissipated, frowned at the city under his feet, and looked at the place on the east side of the palace.
Human and livestock.
A lot of animals.
Just by looking at it, there were thousands of people and animals, either in cages or hanging from high poles.
A strong man with a butcher's knife, wearing a high crown and a long robe, was sharpening his knife and preparing enough materials for the next sacrifice.
Outside the high platform where people and animals were slaughtered was a busy market.
Pedestrians turned a blind eye to this.
There are also some common people and nobles who come from afar to sing songs, and they come to the slaughterhouse on the east side of the royal city to observe, and many people will be teased by their companions for bowing their heads and vomiting.
Li Ping'an's face turned black into the bottom of the pot.
He frowned, his figure flickered continuously, and in an instant, he had already walked around most of the Nanzhou.
The good news is that the sacrifice of human beings and animals has been cut off in most areas, and the scale of human sacrifice has been reduced by eighty percent compared to before his intervention in Nanzhou.
The bad news is that the important land of the Shang State, represented by Chaoge City, is still going on.
In the past 600 years, I don't know how many people have been sacrificed!
Li Ping'an was about to hit the Divine Court immediately, and pulled the head of the God King down to ask, why is it still the case when he told Nanzhou to gradually cut off human and animal animals in every possible way!
But he quickly suppressed his anger and narrowed slightly.
It wouldn't help him to go to the Divine Court now.
The merchant is killing himself;
Then don't blame him for manipulating sentient beings.
Li Ping'an was just about to leave, his mind moved slightly, and he looked at the Shang King's Palace, where there seemed to be something related to him.
He frowned slightly, stroked his sleeve, and his figure fell into the palace.
The scale of the royal palace is much larger than before, and many new high halls have been added, and the original nine towers on the other side of the palace have been demolished and converted into a sacrificial roof, and the place of worship on the north side of the palace has been built at this moment.
Li Ping'an soon found the thing that involved his heart.
It was in the middle of the backyard of the Shang Palace, and there was a courtyard that was completely sealed and made into the shape of a coffin.
The stone tablet stands in front of the coffin, and the book is ......
The tomb of the woman.
"Xiao Nian?"
Li Ping'an landed in front of the gate of this courtyard, and more than a dozen armor soldiers guarding this place stood and fell asleep at the same time.
He pushed the door open and was greeted by a stone tablet with ancient gold inscriptions engraved on it.
The content probably says:
The woman is the wife of the first king, led the army to conquer the Quartet, made great achievements, was the martial god of the Shang country, and in order to prevent the dead souls who died during the conquest of the woman from retaliating against the palace, the tomb of the woman was erected here, deterring the souls of the dead and protecting the king of Shang.
Bypass the stele, enter the eye is a square courtyard, in the center is ten zhang square, made of bronze poured into the square platform, there is a four-legged tripod in the middle of the platform.
Li Ping'an flicked his fingers, and a little glimmer escaped into the ding.
After a while, this little glimmer brought out a faint figure.
She was dressed in a military uniform and armor, and her tall figure was very powerful, but her eyes were a little blank.
What a little thought.
Li Ping'an sighed.
He suddenly realized why Hao Xiao Nian would become the martial god of the Shang Kingdom.
Because he had improved Xiao Nian's physique before, it was clear that he was just doing it casually, but he gave her the strength to crush mortals.
"Xiao Nian?"
Li Ping'an called softly, but the remnant soul did not respond.
Li Ping'an raised his hand and pointed at the forehead of the remnant soul, as if he had gently pushed her, and a little bit of golden light merged into the remnant soul of Hao Xiao Nian.
She suddenly showed a fierce face, and smashed at Li Ping'an with a punch.
Li Ping'an let her smash a few punches.
Hao Xiaonian's mind was quickly recovering, she suddenly recognized who the person in front of her was, and she couldn't help crying, and after beating Li Ping'an more than ten times, she knelt down weakly.
"The Great God of the Turtle...... Xiao Nian is so uncomfortable......"
"I've wronged you."
Li Ping'an sighed:
"I thought you could be rich and prosperous all your life, but I didn't expect it to be a life of hard work, and you will be tortured by resentful spirits when you die.
"Come with me."
Hao Xiaonian just kept wiping the tears on his face.
A moment later.
The back hall of the abandoned Nuwa Temple outside the city.
Li Ping'an placed two futons, and Hao Xiaonian stood aside with some restraint.
Her appearance is fixed in her thirties, the blades cut on the battlefield have made her face more shallow scars, and she has given birth to several children, and she has lived up to her youth.
Li Ping'an asked: "Do you like the way you are now, or do you like the way you looked before you got married?" ”
"I was very comfortable before I got married."
Hao Xiao Nian sighed softly.
A little blood flew out of Li Ping'an's fingertips, and this blood instantly turned into a blood-colored film mixed with gold powder, wrapping Hao Xiaonian in it.
In the next moment, Hao Xiao Nian's spirit body returned to the appearance it had when he first became the high priest, and by the way, there was still a sense of flesh and blood.
"Sit down."
Li Ping'an patted the futon and sighed:
"I asked you to keep an eye on the sacrifice of people and animals in Nanzhou, why is human sacrifice still so prosperous in the commercial land?"
"It can only be said that there is no return."
Hao Xiaonian sighed softly, sat down in front of Li Ping'an, and said softly:
"I don't know how to say it, the more than ten years since you appeared, it was indeed good, everyone sacrificed to the gods and switched to livestock.
"Shortly after I died...... They sacrificed and imprisoned my soul, and I watched them all the time.
"The king I married may have been in a daze, he reactivated the witch sacrifice forces he had participated in, and reduced the prisoners of war who could not be disposed of to human sacrifices.
Even, he reigned for decades, and he was the most alive in the Shang country.
"However, I can also sense that the number of people and animals in various places is decreasing, and the legends of the Nuwa Temple and the great god of the Xuangui are constantly circulating, and the gods occasionally appear.
"It's just that the gods don't come to Shangdu because the Great God of the Xuangui is in Shangdu."
Hao Xiao Nian pursed his lips slightly:
"I lived up to your expectations."
"It's not your fault, it's that bad habits have reverted after your death."
Li Ping'an rubbed his forehead.
How many human and animal sacrifices were made here?
Nuwa is about to return, if Nanzhou breaks off the matter of human and animal life, how happy Our Lady should be.
Although it has improved a lot now, the effect is still much worse.
Li Ping'an suddenly asked: "Do you think there is still a need for the Shang Kingdom to exist?" ”
Hao Xiao Nian was slightly stunned, then lowered his head and thought, and whispered:
"After all, I was also the great witch sacrifice and mother of the country of Shang, and I am biased towards Shangguo."
"I will not allow a merchant to sacrifice human or animal."
Li Ping'an said indifferently:
"I have decided to replace the Shang King."
Hao Xiao Nian cautiously asked, "Do you want to use the Dongyi tribe?" They developed rapidly, and although they were defeated by the Shang kings for many years, their people continued to increase, and almost unified a large area to the east, which was once the former residence of the merchants. ”
Li Ping'an shook his head: "The details have not been decided yet, I came to Nanzhou this time to take a look around and cultivate some forces and tribes, who is the current Shang King?" ”
"Wending, Zituo."
Li Ping'an: ......
He only remembered that the king was Emperor Xinzishou.
He said: "No matter who it is, it is not far from the country of death...... How do you plan to do it? ”
Hao Xiaonian pursed his lips slightly, and said in a low voice: "It would be good if I could be freed, I was still quite uncomfortable being trapped in that small tomb." ”
"Don't be so careful, you used to be so lively, dare to say and do...... I said before that I would accept you as a registered disciple. ”
Li Ping'an said:
"In addition to the Great God of the Turtle, I am also the Emperor of Heaven and Earth, and I can manage the heavens, the earth, and the world.
"You are one of my two disciples, so I can't wronged you.
"If you want, I'll send you to reincarnation and recultivation later, and when you become an immortal, I'll take you to Heavenly Court to practice, do you think?"
Although Hao Xiaonian didn't know the specifics, the previous scenes appeared in his heart, and he couldn't help but burst into tears, and he was busy kneeling to Li Ping'an.
"Your life is over, come with me next, just take me to know these forces around the Shang Kingdom."
"Yes, Master."
Hao Xiao Nian agreed.
Li Ping'an took out a self-propelled immortal armor from his sleeve, and let the good Xiao Nian spirit body be stationed in it, this self-propelled immortal armor will be her body first, and then send her to reincarnation after he is busy with the affairs of the Xuanwu realm.
He raised his hand and pressed the shoulder of the self-propelled immortal armor, just took a slight step, and disappeared without a trace with a good little thought.
They first went to the land of Dongyi, witnessed the strength of the Dongyi tribe, and met the two hundred princes in the east of the Shang Kingdom, as well as the Dongbohou Jiang family, who had millions of soldiers but did not go north to fight the Dongyi tribe.
Li Ping'an looked at it from a distance, and the Jiang family had raised a large number of strange beasts, and there were even a small number of qi refiners who had cultivated in their bodies.
Of course, these Qi Refiners are pitiful in terms of low strength, and they can be called strange people in the world, and they are not qualified to go out in Dongzhou.
The Jiang family's unsubmissive heart is a little inflated.
Although Hao Xiaonian is trapped in the palace, she is sacrificed by the king of Shang every year, she is the Valkyrie of the Shang Kingdom, and she also has some spirituality.
After walking around here, Li Ping'an nodded to the contemporary Dongbohou, and then took Xiao Nian to the north.
In this way, the three major vassal states of the east, south and north each walked once, and Li Ping'an left more than ten arrangements.
The last journey was to the west of the Shang Kingdom.
There's a new vassal power there, Zhou.
Hao Xiaonian introduced softly:
"The state of Zhou has only developed in the last few hundred years, and their ancestors are actually a branch of the Qiang people, and later they were subordinated to the vassal states here, and then they replaced the vassal states and established themselves as the Zhou state, and were rewarded by the Shang kings of that generation.
"However, compared to Dong Bohou and Nan Bohou, Zhou did not have much background, and they were targeted by the new Shang king because they were developing too fast and killed his lord Ji Li.
"The state of Zhou is also more subservient because of this."
Li Ping'an asked rhetorically: "If you kill the lord of the country, the Zhou country will become more obedient?" ”
Hao Xiaonian raised his hand and rubbed his forehead: "King Shang's thoughts have always been like this, because it has been like this since ancient times. ”
Li Ping'an frowned and saw a young man riding an ox cart back to the somewhat shabby palace.
Looking at all parts of the Zhou Kingdom, there are no high-rise buildings, no high walls, most of them are low-rise buildings, although there is a large population, there is no shortage of food and clothing, but it is very difficult to believe that this will be the Zhou Kingdom of the Republic of Commerce.
Li Ping'an thought for a moment, wrote down the face of the young King of Zhou, and bowed his head slightly.
Hao Xiaonian asked, "Master, aren't you going to make arrangements here?" ”
"You can't just do anything about the arrangement here."
Li Ping'an retracted his gaze and said slowly:
"Let's go, let's take care of some things first, and then I'll send you to the underworld."
Hao Xiaonian regained a little of his liveliness back then: "What are you going to deal with?" Is it convenient for me to follow? ”
"It's not a big deal, kill people and scare immortals."
Li Ping'an's smile was slightly calm:
"It's only been six hundred years to get me this kind of moth, what use do I want these old nobles?"
Xiao Nian didn't know why, but he sensed the killing intent in Li Ping'an's eyes.
Below, the frame of the car swayed to a large courtyard, which was the palace of the king of the Zhou Kingdom.
A guard lifted the curtain of the door, and the young man inside quickly tucked two small planks into his sleeves, lowered his head and stepped out of the frame, and stepped into the courtyard ahead.
The board reads......
The flying dragon is in the sky, and it is good to see the lord.
