However, the Taoist Ran Deng sent Yun Zhongzi to intercept Wen Zhong and kill him. If Shen Gongbao had not discovered it early and had Kong Zhen come to rescue him, Wen Zhong might have died in Juelongling. Yun Zhongzi was generous. Seeing Wen Zhong had a large formation, he had never been embarrassed with him and turned back to the cave.
After Yun Zhongzi left, Wen Zhong also breathed a deep breath. After all, Yun Zhongzi is a figure of the Golden Immortal of the Great Luo. If he really wanted to deal with him, even if Shen Gongbao came from behind the army, it would probably be useless. Wen Zhong just thought of Shen Gongbao, and saw a man and a leopard running from a distance. Who wasn’t Shen Gongbao? In the blink of an eye, Shen Gongbao came to Wen Zhong. At this time, Shen Gongbao was anxious and didn’t care much, and hurriedly asked: “Fellow Taoist Wen, I asked Kong Zhen to go first, for fear that something would happen to a fellow Taoist, and fellow Taoist would be fine.”
When Wen Zhong heard this, he suddenly realized that Kong Zhen was sent by Shen Gongbao to help him. Then, Wen Zhong saw that Shen Gongbao was worried about him so much, and couldn't help but feel a little moved. He said to Shen Gongbao: "This time, Yun Zhongzi blocked the way. If it weren't for fellow Taoist mission, Kong Zhen would have arrived in time, I would probably be in danger at this time, and I would like to thank fellow Taoist." After that, he bowed slightly to Shen Gongbao.
Seeing this, Shen Gongbao hurriedly returned the gift.
Since then, Wen Zhong has completely regarded Shen Gongbao as his confidant, but he never thought that it was his decision that caused countless disciples of the Western Sect to die. If Cunti had not led the two men to force the core disciples of the sect to leave the mountain, the Western Sect might have been in a slump.
At this moment, after the two of them were polite, they ordered the army to set sail again. After passing Juelong Ridge, there were no more people from the Chan Sect to block the way. After entering the Five Passes, it was even more of the Shang Sect to be the Shang Sect, and the Chan Sect would not ambush there. After the Five Passes, they naturally went to Chaoge.
Although Shen Gongbao had traveled all over the world, he had never come to Chaoge. After entering Chaoge, Shen Gongbao was very surprised. Chaoge's majesty was far beyond his expectations. After watching it, Shen Gongbao had to admire the wisdom of these human races. It was simply incredible. Such a magnificent building would probably take some time to build a fairy. As for the human race, few people probably believe that they could build such a building.
Shen Gongbao had no place to live in Chaoge, so he could rest for a day in Wen Zhong's Grand Tutor's Mansion.
The next day, Shen Gongbao got up early in the morning, then washed and dressed up, and followed the Grand Tutor Wen Zhong to pay homage to King Zhou in the court.
When he entered the court, he saw King Zhou from afar. He saw that King Zhou looked majestic and did not look like a fool. However, Shen Gongbao didn't care whether King Zhou was stupid or not. What he really cared about was how to invite those Western scholars out of the mountain and then let others send them to the Congshen ***.
At this time, Wen Zhong was the first to kneel down on the ground and shouted: "King, the old minister was defeated in the Western Expedition of Xiqi. I hope the king will punish him." After that, he kowtowed him and kowtowed him.
Shen Gongbao was stunned by the side. Wen Zhong was also a Taoist practitioner, so how could he kneel down to this mortal? Even if King Zhou was an emperor of the human world and was considered a human emperor, there was no need for such courtesy, right? This was a big loss of face. At this moment, Shen Gongbao couldn't help but wonder, thinking that Wen Zhong's move was inappropriate.
In fact, Shen Gongbao did not know the importance of the Shang Dynasty to Western religion. Over the years, the reason why Western religions have been able to become the largest sect among the human race, and even surpassed Lao Tzu's human religion and the primitive heavenly primitive gods. The reason why Western religions can establish a foothold in the human race and have achieved such long-term development was that the monarchs of the Shang Dynasty played a decisive role in it. After Wen Zhong went down the mountain, he was kind to him by the three monarchs of the Shang Dynasty, so he was naturally treated with courtesy.
Although King Zhou was foolish at this time, he did not dare to do anything to his teacher Wen Zhong. When he saw Wen Zhong kneeling down, he hurriedly got up and took the throne, helped Wen Zhong up, and said, "The Grand Master is so serious, how could the Gu King punish the Grand Master? The Grand Master quickly asked him to get up." Wen Zhong was not pretentious and took advantage of the situation.
When King Zhou saw Wen Zhong stand up, he also noticed Shen Gongbao beside Wen Zhong, and asked curiously: "I don't know where this immortal is good at practicing in the fairy mountain."
When Shen Gongbao saw King Zhou ask a question, he bowed slightly, bowed his hand, and said loudly: "The leader of Tongtian Sect from Penglai Island sits down, Shen Gongbao has seen the king."
When everyone present heard this, their faces changed slightly, but King Zhou just nodded slightly, which made all the ministers shook their heads.
Wen Zhong, who was standing by, saw that King Zhou seemed not interested in this Shen Gongbao, hurriedly said, "King, this Western Expedition will depend on fellow Taoist Shen's help, so that the old minister can escape unscathed. Fellow Shen not only has strong magic power, but also found many friends of the same school, and either killed the demonic way of helping Xiqi, or abandoned his cultivation. The old minister dared to ask the king to reward fellow Taoist Shen." After that, he bowed heavily to King Zhou.
When King Zhou heard Zhong's words, he looked at Shen Gongbao carefully. Seeing his smile, he gave people a sense of friendship, and he was filled with gods. After looking closely, King Zhou couldn't help but feel a lot of affection in his heart. In addition, Wen Zhong pleaded for mercy and immediately proclaimed loudly: "In this way, I will confer the immortal chief of Shen Gongbao as my Grand Shang National Master and help the Grand Master to quell the Xiqi Rebellion."
When the ministers present heard this, they were a little surprised. They never thought that King Zhou would be awarded this high title when he first met him. Shen Gongbao didn't care much about this reputation, but just bowed slightly and said, "I thanked the king." Seeing Shen Gongbao like this, everyone secretly scolded him for being good at getting a bargain.
Shen Gongbao didn't care about everyone's thoughts, but stood beside Wen Zhong, looking around to observe the hall. At this time, Wen Zhong had already begun to tell the battle in detail to King Zhou and the ministers. King Zhou and the ministers were excited to hear it. After Wen Zhong finished speaking, King Zhou dispersed the court meeting.
After this court meeting, Shen Gongbao gained a lot and was named the Grand Shang National Master. This alone was envious of others. For a time, Shen Gongbao was in the limelight. Many ministers of Chaoge came to give gifts. Although Shen Gongbao looked down on these ordinary things, he was not willing to refuse them. In this way, Shen Gongbao refused everyone and accepted them all. But if he wanted to ask him to do something, he was sent by Shen Gongbao on the spot, and he would say a few words to him, and he would not do anything.
Afterwards, Shen Gongbao gradually became tired of such social engagements, so he went to Wen Zhong to complain.
Wen Zhong heard that Shen Gongbao was suffering and thought to himself that Shen Gongbao was a cultivator and was probably not very adaptable to ordinary things, so he invited Shen Gongbao to his military camp. Few people came to disturb him, so he could avoid those who came to give gifts to the door.
Shen Gongbao was overjoyed and immediately agreed to Wen Zhong's proposal, and then moved into the Da Shang military camp. Since then, Shen Gongbao has practiced daily and taught the soldiers' training from time to time, and it is quiet.
In a leisurely manner, two years have passed.
At this time, the Shang Dynasty had the Grand Tutor Wen Zhong in charge of Chaoge, Fei Zhong Youhun and others did not dare to act rashly. King Zhou was also afraid of Wen Zhong and never did anything wrong with heaven and man. Therefore, the government was also clear and clear. Moreover, after two years of cultivation, the Shang army gradually recovered its vitality. Seeing this, Wen Zhong had plans to expedition the West again, but in order to wait for him to go to the expedition, some people took the lead.
Let’s talk about Xiqi. Since the last war, Xiqi has suffered heavy losses, so it has entered a long period of rest and recuperation. With Jiang Ziya, a military and political genius, Xiqi has returned to its pre-war level in less than two years, which is even worse. The most important thing is that after years of hard work, Jiang Ziya finally trained the Xiqi army. Today, everyone in Xiqi can do ten, and it is really a rare lion of battle.
Not only that, during the past two years, cultivators have come to join. First, because Jinzha, Muzha and Nezha are all in Xiqi, Li Jing and his family come to join. After that, many immortal cultivators come to join. What surprised Jiang Ziya the most was that the Virtue of Jie Sect Wudang and his disciple Xianzi (Daji). After seeing the power of Fairy Yunxiao, Jiang Ziya was in awe of the disciples of Jie Sect. This time, Virtue of Wudang came to join, and Jiang Ziya did not dare to neglect and grandly welcomed the Virtue of Wudang.
Shortly after the arrival of the Virgin Mother Wudang, the immortals of the Chan Sect came late. What surprised everyone was that the immortals of the Chan Sect had recovered to the realm of the Daluo Golden Immortal. You should know that the three flowers were cut off by Yunxiao, and the five energy in their hearts were closed, and their cultivation was completely lost. In just two years, no matter how mysterious the great way the Primitive Heavenly Lord made, it was impossible to improve the cultivation of the immortals to such a state. Therefore, everyone was puzzled by this.
Among them, while Taoist Randeng was confused, he was even more resentful. He had seen that Guang Chengzi and others had lost all their cultivation, but the Primitive Heavenly Lord would have to use him in his helplessness. At that time, wouldn’t the spiritual treasure and cultivation be all there should be? But in this situation, Taoist Randeng’s dream was shattered, which made him feel so good.
The happiest among the crowd was naturally Jiang Ziya. Although many practitioners came to join us before, they had the great power of being the Holy Mother, but they were outsiders after all, and they could not be trusted by their own brothers. Therefore, Jiang Ziya was naturally happiest.
In the Xiqi Prime Minister's Mansion, Jiang Ziya was lowering his head and thinking. At this time, so many people with great powers flew to the scene, which made Jiang Ziya's confidence multiply. In addition, the Xiqi army had been trained, Jiang Ziya had the intention to go on a war again. Moreover, with Wen Zhong taking charge of Chaoge, the Shang Dynasty gradually recovered, and it was urgent to send troops. So Jiang Ziya felt relieved and stood up and walked out, preparing to meet King Wu and persuade him to send troops.
After leaving the Prime Minister's Mansion, Jiang Ziya went straight to the palace. When the palace guards saw Jiang Ziya coming, they hurried into the palace to report. After a while, the guard came back and brought the order of King Wu to ask Jiang Ziya to come to the palace to meet him. When they entered the palace, they saw King Wu sitting in the hall. Jiang Ziya hurriedly stepped forward and shouted: "Old minister Jiang Shang worships the king." After that, he wanted to kneel down to greet King Wu.
Seeing this, King Wu immediately stood up and held Jiang Ziya in his hand, and said, "You don't have to be too polite for your father." After that, he helped Jiang Ziya sit down again, and then asked, "I don't know what is important about Xiangfu coming to see the orphan king?"
Jiang Ziya was moved by King Wu's courtesy just now. When he heard King Wu's question, he hurriedly replied: "King, the old minister asked the King to send troops immediately to attack the Shang Dynasty."
King Wu was surprised to hear this and said, "Secretary Father, why are you so anxious? Although King Zhou is unrighteous, after Wen Zhong was in charge of Chaoge, the Shang Dynasty was considered to be properly governed. If I, Xiqi, sent troops at this time, it would definitely be a real person and ruined my Xiqi's benevolence and righteousness."
Seeing that King Wu refused, Jiang Ziya advised, "King, it is precisely because of this that we have to send troops. The King believes that if I send troops to the Great Zhou Dynasty, who will the Yin and Shang Ching Church send to fight?"
After hearing this, King Wu replied without thinking, "Of course it was the Grand Master Wen Zhong. Wen Zhong was not only respected in the Shang Dynasty, but also assisted the emperors of the three generations and the army of King Zhou. I believe he was obliged to do this."
Jiang Ziya smiled and said, "That's it. If Wen Zhong comes to fight, then King Zhou will be fooled again without anyone to discipline him. At that time, if he does a few more things that are angry and resentful, the Shang Dynasty will completely lose the people's hearts. In this way, we will win."
When King Wu heard this, his eyes lit up. However, after thinking for a while, he was still hesitant and asked Jiang Ziya again: "Why are Xiangfu so sure this time?"
Jiang Ziya lowered her head and thought for a moment, and replied, "The old minister is 70% sure. You must know that the army of our Great Zhou is now much stronger than the army of the Shang Dynasty. In the past two years, countless capable people and strangers have come to surrender. In addition, our Xiqi has always been benevolent and righteous in our actions and is deeply loved by the people. This is no less than 70% sure."
After listening to Jiang Ziya's analysis, King Wu lowered his head and thought for a while. Finally, King Wu's eyes became more and more firm, and he said, "Okay, call up all the ministers to discuss the matter of raising an army to fight against Shang."
At that moment, when Jiang Ziya saw King Wu agree, he stepped forward and talked to King Wu for a long time.
Afterwards, Jiang Ziya summoned the ministers to the main hall. At that moment, King Wu sat high in the hall. After the ministers worshiped, Jiang Ziya took the lead and said loudly: "King, I have something to do to report."
King Wu had just discussed with Jiang Ziya, and then pretended not to know and asked, "What's wrong with Xiangfu?"
Jiang Ziya said: "King King Zhou is unrighteous, and the heavens and man have abandoned each other. I, Xiqi, should attack him. Now that the people are suffering, I, Xiqi, should act on behalf of heaven and attack the Shang Dynasty." After that, he also made a passionate statement.
When King Wu heard this, he was happy, but he felt embarrassed: "The father of the prime minister, when his father passed away, he left a will. King Zhou is the king, and I am Xiqi is the minister. I cannot attack the king. If I am Xiqi attacking the Shang Dynasty and violated the will of the father, it is called unfilial, and it is called unfaithful to attack the king with his minister. How could the lonely king do such an act of unfaithfulness and unfilial?" After saying that, he looked as if he sighed.
After hearing this, Jiang Ziya immediately said, "The king said this differently. Xiqi is a benevolent country. Now King Zhou is unrighteous and harms the people. How can the king ignore the people of the world for his reputation? I ask the king to send troops to attack Zhou." After that, he knelt down on the ground and kowtowed.
When the ministers behind him saw that they didn’t know that the king and his minister were playing a double act. You should know that since he heard that Zhong was in charge of Chaoge, King Zhou did not dare to act recklessly. In the past two years, King Zhou’s reputation has been restored a lot. Now Xiqi attacks the king with his ministers, which is really a rebellious thing. However, everyone present is an important minister of Xiqi. The rise and fall of Xiqi is related to their own future, so they will not object to the attack on Zhou.
At this moment, although everyone was disdainful of the two performing, they still knelt down and shouted loudly: "I want the king to raise an army to attack Zhou for the people of the world, I want the king to raise an army to attack Zhou for the people of the world, I want the king to raise an army to attack Zhou for the people of the world, I want the king to raise an army to attack Zhou for the people of the world..................."
Seeing the ministers below shouting together. King Wu, who was sitting in the hall, saw this, a slight smile appeared on his face. Then he slowly stood up and raised his hand to press it. When the ministers below saw this, they stopped shouting loudly, looked at King Wu together and waited for his orders.
King Wu saw the reaction of everyone and was very satisfied, saying, "Your dear friends have requested this way. For the sake of the people of the world, the King Gu did not care much. King Gu decided that from today on, our entire Xiqi army will prepare for war and will choose a day to raise an army to attack Zhou." After that, King Wu looked at the ministers with great momentum.
After hearing this, the ministers below immediately shouted in unison: "The king is wise."
King Wu looked at the ministers below, and a sense of pride arose and shouted: "Jiang Ziya listened to the order."
After hearing this, Jiang Ziya hurried forward and said, "The old minister is here."
King Wu glanced at Jiang Ziya and enfeoffed him: "The Lord King appointed you as the general, commanded the three armies, and raised an army to attack Zhou." After that, he took out a piece of tiger talisman from the imperial case and handed it to Jiang Ziya.
Seeing this, Jiang Ziya stepped forward and took it respectfully, and then said, "The old minister will definitely live up to the king's kindness." After that, he retreated aside.
When King Wu saw Jiang Ziya retreating, he smiled slightly and continued, "Nangong Shi listened to the order."
A general with a tiger's back and a bear's waist responded and shouted, "I'm here."
King Wu shouted: "The Lone King appointed you as a vanguard officer and set the way for the army."
After hearing this, Nangong Shi was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "I obey the order."

After several times, King Wu finished his worship of the generals, then looked around and said, "Now the generals have worshipped. When the troops are ready, they will raise the banner of righteousness and raise an army to attack Zhou."
The ministers agreed and then left the hall and went to prepare.
With the order from King Wu, Xiqi instantly turned into a war beast, and soldiers and horses gathered everywhere. In just a few days, Xiqi gathered a million troops. After everything was ready, Jiang Ziya planned to send troops to attack King Shang.
On the day of sending the troops, King Wu came to see him off in person. He saw King Wu wearing golden armor, majestic, standing on the top of Xiqi City, holding a bowl of wine in his hand, and shouting: "Sir, King Zhou is unrighteous, I, Xiqi, should attack him. The Lord is here to wait for the generals to return triumphantly!" After that, he drank it all.
The soldiers below shouted in unison: "Wan Sheng, Wan Sheng, Wan Sheng............."
Jiang Ziya rode the Sibusi, bowed to the King of Wu above the castle, and then turned around and said to the crowd: "All the soldiers set off." There was a Taoist saying in his words, and the voice was like words in his ears, which instantly came into the ears of the soldiers of Xiqi.
After hearing this, the soldiers said in unison: "No." Then they raised their swords and spears and marched towards the distance.
