Chapter 979: Shang Zhou

In the parallel universe, on Putuo Island, Yu Chen and the Taoist Cihang sat opposite each other, brewing a cup of fragrant tea.

The tea in the hands of the Taoist Cihang uses white jade as cups, nectar as springs, compassion as firewood, merit and vows as flames, water vapor steeps in the gurgling sound, and a few willow leaves float in it, like a light boat in the sea of ​​suffering in the world, swaying and conquering people in infinite power.

In Yuchen's hand, he used Kunyuan earth energy as a cup, the clear sky energy as a spring, the light and firewood of the universe as firewood, and the variables of heaven and earth as firewood. Several green lotus are dotted in the cup, gathering and dispersing with future changes, revealing the various changes of the main universe.

The two exchanged tea in their hands. Taoist Cihang looked at the cup and sighed: "Fellow Daoist Yuchen, your Taoist practice is becoming more and more unfathomable. I think it will take a long time to break free from the shackles of Kunlun Mirror!"

"The Kunlun Mirror is the most treasure of the immortal way, and it is also the object of the light of the universe. Although the one suspended in the main universe at this time is not the essence, the person who is suspended in the main universe is not inferior to the Emperor of Heaven. The person who is urging now is the Queen Mother of the West, and the person who is hosting is the Emperor of Heaven. Even if the Queen Mother of the West intentionally releases water, it is not so easy to break free."

Yu Chen said, taking a sip of the tea made by Taoist Cihang, closing his eyes to experience it for a moment, a little satisfaction appeared on his face, and his breath changed around him, and his thoughts of saving people became more and more compassionate.

"Compared to me, fellow Taoist Cihang, your Taoist practice is becoming more and more advanced."

"It's also thanks to the Emperor of Heaven who sent the universe's light information to interfere with your perception, and I'm also lucky to have some of the memories and power of the rest of the universe, so I won't be confused."

After saying that, Taoist Cihang looked at Yu Chen and said, "I think that you, fellow Taoist Yu Chen, have been unable to understand the wonders of Kunlun Mirror over the years because of this information."

Yuchen did not reply, but just put the teacup in his hand next to it, reflecting the various changes in the Shang Dynasty since its establishment and to the present.

After the Xia Dynasty, the second dynasty with centralized human race was less strong support from the heaven than the Xia Dynasty. Since its establishment, countless disasters have emerged one after another.

First, the original crown prince Tai Ding died mysteriously, and then the successor to the throne, the outer Bing and Zhong Ren, were unable to sit in the position of Emperor Shang Dynasty, for a long time ago.

It was not until the son of Tai Ding, Da Jia, succeeded to the throne that the inheritance of the Shang Dynasty became slightly more stable.

However, the life span of Dajia is still shorter than that of the Emperor of Xia Dynasty. The most favorable proof is that he failed to survive Yi Yin, but instead was killed by Yi Yin, who was worried about him.

This made Yi Yin very helpless. After the son of Dajia, Woding, ascended the throne, this veteran figure who had gone through five dynasties chose to withdraw from the stage called "Shang", rose to the sky, and became a saint worshipped by the Shang Dynasty and one of the human gods.

The time when Yi Yin left was also a period when Yuqing Dao, Shangqing Dao, Emperor Tian and Yu Chen tried and interfered with each other.

It is not clear whether it was because many parties had hindered the hands of the Emperor of Heaven. During this period, there was no big problem with Woding's rule. He also became the first Shang Dynasty emperor to successfully survive until the average reign of the human emperor before.

This Shang Dynasty emperor Woding, who promoted the ancestral system and governed the Shang Dynasty with virtue, was also very keen. After living past the average life, he quickly chose to abdicate and passed the position of Shang Dynasty emperor to his younger brother Tai Geng.

After that, during the reign of the three emperors, Tai Geng, Xiao Jia and Yong Ji, the Shang Dynasty maintained a relatively stable ruling environment, and their three reigns were far better than the two before the Shang Dynasty, laying a certain foundation for the prosperity of Tai Wu who later advanced.

Taiwu is considered a relatively alternative existence among the Emperors of the Shang Dynasty.

Because of Yi Yin's relationship, starting from Tai Geng, many monks from the Qingdao in the East China Sea will also enter the inland to spread their ideas.

The Shang Dynasty itself has a very well-established foundation for Shangqing Dao. Even after several suppression, some traces are still clearly visible.

Taiwu received a lot of the concept of Shangqing Dao in his childhood, which also led to his choice to reuse Shangqing Dao after he took office, so that many Shangqing Dao monks would once again integrate into all aspects of the Shang Dynasty.

This move not only stabilized the Shang Dynasty's energy, but also brought dozens of monks in the fairyland and raised more than 200 monks who had achieved success in practicing the path of immortality. In one fell swoop, the situation in which the Shang Dynasty was affected during the Yongji period and brought about great prosperity.

Moreover, this Taiwu was the oldest emperor in the Xia and Shang dynasties. His strong imperial aura and strong foundation successfully mentioned the position of the Shang Dynasty emperor upward.

At that time, many immortals and gods suspected that the dynasty energy contained in this Shang Dynasty emperor was even higher than that of the founding lord Shang Yi.

Unfortunately, the prosperity of the Shang Dynasty originated from Shangqing and was defeated by Shangqing.

At the beginning, the alliance between Shangqing Dao and the Shang Dynasty was acquiescent from many parties, and the first-rate Emperor of Heaven even fueled the fire in the dark.

However, after the Shang Dynasty was too prosperous and Shangqing Dao received too much replenishment, the Emperor of Heaven gave up his help to Shang Dynasty and turned to help Yuqing Dao and suppress Shangqing Dao.

At the same time, at that time, Shangqingdao, which had too much power, also crossed some bottom lines, aroused Taiwu's vigilance.

Based on this situation, there is no need for the Emperor of Heaven to do anything more. The provocation of the vassal states and Taiwu intentionally or unintentionally rejected it, and announced the re-cooperation between Shangqing Dao and Shang Dynasty, and the end of the cooperation.

The Shang Dynasty, which had lost the assistance of Shangqing Dao, was exposed many hidden problems in the past.

After Taiwu abdicated and Zhong Ding succeeded to the throne, these problems caused small-scale and small rebellion among some princes.

Then Zhong Ding died of illness and failed to leave a clear heir, which led to the nine-generation rebellion that went through the nine emperors of Wai Ren, He Dan Jia, Zu Yi, Zu Xin, Wo Jia, Zu Ding, Nan Geng, and Yang Jia.

During this period, the standards for the replacement of the position of emperors within the Shang Dynasty were also very vague. Sometimes it was inherited by father and son, sometimes it was inherited by brothers and brothers, and uncles and nephews. The chaotic inheritance also made the position of the capital of the Shang Dynasty constantly changing, and moving the capital became a very common thing.

The provocation of external vassal states and the rebellion of many gods' relatives forced the Shang Dynasty to launch foreign wars again and again.

Both are acts that greatly consume national strength, and the Nine-generation Rebellion successfully consumed the foundation of the joint accumulation of Shangqingdao and Taiwu.

Although Zu Yi joined forces with Wu Dao during the Nine-generation Rebellion and revived for a short period of time, it did not last long and died of illness.

Interestingly, during the Nine Rebellion of the Shang Dynasty, the nine emperors basically died of illness. In other words, since the establishment of the Shang Dynasty, most of the emperors, including Shang Yi, claimed that the emperor died of illness.

What's even more interesting is that the time when the nine emperors in the Nine Rebellion was combined was only about one-quarter of the time when Taiwu was reigning. On average, the time when each emperor was reigned was about one-seventh of Taiwu, and the time when Taiwu was reigned was about one-quarter of the time when the Shang Dynasty was established until the end of the Nine Rebellion.

His status is stable, his power is huge, his rise and rise, and his retaining power is the greatest of the Shang Dynasty.

The Nine-generation Rebellion had a huge impact on the Shang Dynasty, but the years of internal friction also greatly alleviated the internal conflicts within the Shang Dynasty royal family.

In addition, both Yuqing Dao and Tiandi wanted to interpret the myth, but did not intend for the Shang Dynasty to disappear.

This also led to the external pressure that originally had great oppression on the Shang Dynasty, which decreased as the internal force declined.

After Yangjia, Pan Geng's policy was well conveyed during the throne, and no major problems occurred in the country. Since then, the Shang Dynasty has revived. It was also during this period that Pan Geng moved his capital to Yin again, and integrated his own divine power into the earth to stabilize the land and facilitate the governance of later emperors. Without moving the capital again, the Shang Dynasty had the new title of Yin and Shang.

Through Yuchen's eyes, Taoist Cihang, who also saw the history of the Shang Dynasty, sighed: "Although many actions of that person in heaven are disgusting, I have to say that his plan is still so blatant that people don't know how to deal with it."

"It is because of blatantness that it is difficult to prevent, and it is because it is difficult to prevent, it is even more disgusting. It is as if I reminded Yi Yin specifically and told him that the most serious problem facing the Shang Dynasty is that the country has become a battlefield centered on you and me, mixed with the battle between the Emperor of Heaven and the Gods of Fire Cloud. He still chose to pull Shangqing Road into the water and introduce it into the Shang Dynasty. It is not that there is no other way, but that this method is the most feasible and most in line with the interests of the Shang Dynasty. For the sake of the overall situation, Yi Yin can only go on like this."

After saying that, Yuchen did not continue to say anything more, and he also admired the methods of Emperor Tian.

For the Shang Dynasty, the Emperor of Heaven did not take action many times.

Many times, the Shang Dynasty believed that the Emperor of Heaven teased or punished him was just that the Emperor of Heaven helped suppress his own theocratic power and rejected the Shang Dynasty.

After all, the people who are in charge of the heavenly realm are the Emperors of Heaven, and the Shang Dynasty sacrificed more people were the Emperors of the Human Clans, such as the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.

To put it bluntly, the actions of the Shang Dynasty were similar to those of the sacred sacrifices to the previous dynasty in the new dynasty.

Being suppressed is normal.

However, Emperor Tian did not specifically increase the exclusion of the Shang Dynasty by heaven, but instead allowed the Shang Dynasty to feel its existence through shelter and non-sanction, which in turn affected the situation of the Shang Dynasty.

From a certain perspective, the actions of Emperor Tian can also be called the word fair.

What he wanted to do with the Shang Dynasty would naturally give corresponding protection, and when his calculations were completed, he would let it go, and everything was on the surface.

In this process, it was not without the Emperor of Shang Dynasty who saw the problem, but Yi Yin should have a clear understanding.

But both the Emperor of Shang Dynasty and Yi Yin knew very well that the Shang Dynasty itself could not be devoted to the Emperor of Heaven. Many times, the protection given by the Emperor of Heaven was indeed the need of the Shang Dynasty and the people of the Shang Dynasty.

They turned a blind eye to many things and dealt with them by chance, which eventually led to the entire situation approaching the direction that the Emperor of Heaven hoped.

Although for now, the cooperation between Shangqing Dao and Shang Dynasty was only a close combination in a short time, and it was not a successful cooperation in one go.

But in fact, the second cooperation between Shangqing Dao and the Shang Dynasty lasted for a long time and was mutual cooperation in all aspects.

Even though the Shang Dynasty and Shangqing Dao were separated in the later period, many of the concepts of Shangqing Dao had already taken root and sprouted within the Shang Dynasty. Combined with the traces left by the Tao Palace at that time, it became a major concept rooted in the entire Shang Dynasty civilization system.

Moreover, this kind of rooting will continue to evolve and update over time, and will eventually be inseparable from the entire Shang Dynasty culture.

It can be said that the Shang Dynasty has become a private place for Shangqing Road.

The concept of Yuqing Dao was not very popular among the major cities of the Shang Dynasty, and had to spread it outward and return to the major vassal states.

Many aristocratic classes in the Shang Dynasty basically learned some of the concepts of Shangqing Taoism, or the fundamental method of practice, which originated from Shangqing Taoism.

Taoist Cihang saw this clearly and reminded Yuchen that he hoped he could pay more attention.

After all, this combination of concepts can easily drag the entire Shangqing Road onto a chariot called "Shang".

Just like many immortal monks, when facing a dispute over ideas, will still rush to the front even though they know it is a fairyland.

Once the Shang Dynasty completely became the place where the concept of Shangqing Tao is concentrated, it has always been very fast. In the future, another protagonist in the mythology, "Zhou", will inevitably become the core of the concept of Yuqing Tao.

At that time, the Battle of Shang and Zhou dynasties was no longer a simple dynasty change, but also a conflict of ideas between Shangqing Dao and Yuqing Dao.

In that situation, no one needs to specially invite monks who practice Shangqing Dao, many monks who practice Shangqing Dao or recognize the concept of Shangqing Dao will jump into the boiling battlefield like dumplings.

Thinking of this, Yu Chen, who was silent for a while, looked at Taoist Cihang and said, "This is also one of the reasons why I chose to establish Shangqing Tao instead of Shangqing. I know very well that I am more likely to act emotionally. If I really establish a sect, many monks who practice Shangqing Dharma will be my disciples in the future. If I let them die for the so-called overall situation, I will not be able to do it."

"On the contrary, establishing the Shangqing Dao and spreading the Shangqing Dao concept will make monks who recognize this concept, practice and improve hands-on skills as fellow practitioners. Then, when facing many situations, I can also use this to persuade myself by the other party's own choice."

After saying that, Yuchen stood up and looked at the changes in the parallel universe.

This universe is different from the main universe, which has reached the era of Pan Geng, Xiao Xin, Xiao Yi, and entered the era of Emperor Wu Ding.

The light of the parallel universe still stayed in the Taiwu period, and the union of Shangqing Dao and Shang Dynasty was not as close as the main universe.

However, in many places, driven by the Ten Thousand Immortal Formation, they still went to similar situations to the main universe.

Mastering some information about this parallel universe, plus half of the illusory universe, Yu Chen just took a simple look and knew the changes in the future situation.

In order to perfect the interpretation of myth, Yuqing Dao must have taken "Zhou" as the starting point.

Yuchen's Shangqing Dao was tied to "Shang".

The conflict between Shang and Zhou dynasties will arise from Wending.

In the records of the myth of the Gods, this Emperor of Shang Dynasty was the grandfather of King Zhou of Shang, the father of Emperor Yi, and the monarch who killed King Wen of Zhou, Ji Li. The cause of this execution originated from the Emperor Wu Ding, who now ruled the Shang Dynasty by the universe.

As another wise ruler after Pan Geng's revival, Wu Ding worked diligently and worked hard to govern, further strengthened the royal power and suppressed the divine power within the Shang Dynasty.

Moreover, this measure will continue to be passed down. After Zu Geng, Zu Jia, Lin Xin, and Geng Ding, it reached its peak during the Wu Yi period, and then in order to consolidate the royal power, it took action to humiliate the gods and shoot the sky. Finally, it was called one of the few emperors of the Shang Dynasty who were not dying of illness.

One of the reasons why Wending claimed to kill Ji Li was to determine that Ji Li was the murderer who killed Wu Yi.

But in essence, Wen Ding killed Ji Li in order to consolidate the royal power and suppress local princes.

Such an almost well-known revenge of killing his father was also a very good reason for the Zhou Dynasty to rebel against the Shang Dynasty in the future.

This is also Yuchen believes that the battle between Shang and Zhou dynasties actually began as early as when Wen Ding killed Ji Li.
