Jiang Zitia was a sub-director under King Zhou, who reigned over the Xia dynasty. He served as a minister once, and would remain one for life. Jiahou was the queen of King Zhou; currently, she is formally deposed, but in the ancestral temples of the Yin dynasty, she and King Zhou remain husband and wife. The ancestors are unaware that you have divorced and have not given their consent. Thus, from the standpoint of etiquette and law, there exists a hierarchical relationship between Jiahou and Jiang Zitia as master and servant.
Lao Jiang knows that Jiahou has become a disciple of the Golden Soul Holy Mother and is now the legitimate heir of the Zhe School.
After paying respects, he opened his mouth first to intercept the other party's words: "Disciples of the Zhe School, it is appropriate to cultivate the Great Dao, praise the Yellow Court, and seek immortality. Why should you dirty yourself with these impurities in the human world? Listen to one word, the rise and fall of Zhou was destined. Disciple, it is better to return to the mountain at once."
Jiahou's expression was wistful: "Can it really be unstoppable? The Shang dynasty ruled for six hundred years, and now it is about to fall at the hands of the monarch. Is this truly the will of heaven?"
Jiang Ziya lowered his gaze, saying nothing.
For nearly ten minutes, both parties remained silent. Jiahou then lowered his head and bowed in half to the Jiahou: "I understand. When your accomplishments are complete, please keep a few drops of Yin blood for the ancestors of Chen Tang. Let them continue to receive offerings without loss, is that acceptable?"
In today's world, the practice of completely eradicating something is not observed. Even when a state falls, nobles remain noble. After transforming a family into a state, it can be further transformed into a family. Even if the state falls, one can still possess a significant fiefdom and the four-time worship will not be affected.
Jiang Ziya solemnly agreed: "Alright."
Jiahou rode a cloud and left, while Lao Jiang rode a four-legged creature and continued to lead the army in the east.
Soon, the army entered Shouyang Mountain.
This mountain is the Shouyang Mountain of the Saint of Taiqing, but the Saint's sacred place, Ba Jing Temple, is at the deepest part of the mountain, where ordinary people can never set foot.
The Xuanyuan Huangdi's Xuanyuan Sword was also made of copper from Shouyang.
The remaining heads of Xing Tian and Kang Hui were all under Shouyang Mountain.
Within two days of the Zhou army entering the mountain, they encountered another person blocking their path again.
The famous wise man (xian) Bo Yi and Sanni Qí advised Lao Jiang to return to the capital, saying that the king had lost his virtue. According to them, as a wise counselor, you should persuade him gently. If he doesn't listen, you should try your best to convince him. How can you justify challenging a ruler as a minister? As an old man with many years of reading, I am more knowledgeable. Please follow my advice and return immediately!
Lao Jiang was not as polite to them as he was to Jiahou, simply waving his hand and commanding them to be dismissed.
The Zhou army crossed Shouyang Mountain and arrived at the Jinchilin Ridge.
At this moment, the heart of the Great Primordial Deity in the 33rd Heaven was touched. Although Jiang Ziya was specially "trained" by Heaven to help with the establishment of divine beings, it ultimately affected the destiny of the Chuan School.
At this moment, the Jade Supreme Saint made a calculation with his thumb and index finger, involuntarily frowning. According to the original fortune-telling given to Jiang Ziya, there should be 36 troops attacking the West Qiaji at this time. Only after completely resolving these can the formal eastward expedition begin.
Now what? Counting and recounting, there are only seventeen calamities, which is less than half. If he were to successfully complete the divine appointment without incident, the Great Primordial Deity would lose face. However, he also cannot allow Jiang Ziya to turn back to his hometown without cause.
It is difficult to choose between the face of the thirty-six military divisions and the face of establishing Zhou. What should be done?
"Ah, adding another difficulty."
He thought that adding to make it eighteen calamities should be enough.
At the moment he thought of it, Nanshi Immortal hurriedly took out a gourd by his side.
To be honest, the Southern Pole Immortal is not as perceptive as the White Crane Youngster. His response is a bit slow and seems a bit too deliberate.
The Great Primordial Deity opened the mouth of the gourd and spoke inside: "Go add another calamity for Jiang Ziya. Return to me in the future."
A burst of golden light flashed twice, followed by an abrupt explosion of purified qi. In the auspicious clouds and mist, a figure that appeared extremely noble and elegant nodded lightly to the Great Primordial Deity, showing proper etiquette before flying towards the underworld.
A golden giant bird descended from the sky and landed on Jinchilin Ridge.
Jiang Ziya ordered Yang Jian to confront the bird. However, after only three rounds, Yang Jian retreated and admitted defeat: "I cannot match its power! This golden giant bird has strength comparable to a pseudo-saint, but its killing intent is not very strong. If it had any killing intent, Yang Jian might not have been able to return alive."
Detour? How could a six hundred thousand-man army detour? If they detour, their logistics will collapse. Now they are relying on the Han state to supply blood, and the entire nation is in debt for the war. If they detour, it's better not to fight and directly kneel to surrender.
Fight! We must defeat this golden bird.
Jiang Ziya issued orders, and the generals of his army took turns charging.
Lei Zhenzi was captured, and the two Xians of He and He were also captured. Wu Ji, Nan Gong Xie, Huang Long Zhen Ren passed by and was then captured. Li Bo Daoist Master passed by and was then captured as well. The Great Daoist Master of Lingbao and his good friend Dao Er True Master decided to travel around, but were spotted by the golden bird with excellent eyesight. The golden bird flew over and captured all of them with a single move.
Jiang Ziya was at a loss and could only continue to carry on the excellent tradition of the Chuan School by soliciting help.
He came to Taiyue Mountain, climbed the "Yunxiao Cave" which was always awkwardly named by Deng Changyu, and sought help from the five great immortals here.
"What? Golden bird? Full of auspicious qi? Uncle Jiang, have you seen it correctly?" Deng Changyu felt incredible. How could that be possible? Where did it come from?
Jiang Ziya hurriedly assured him that he had not made a mistake, that it was indeed a gigantic golden bird. It occupied the Jinchilin Ridge, did not move from its nest, nor did it kill anyone, just lingered there.
Now the Zhou country cannot afford it. Every day's consumption of grain and grass is astronomical.
Deng Changyu calculated for a moment by putting his thumb and index finger together.
Is it Yuan Feng's eldest son, Jin Feng? However, Jin Feng's remains were transformed into a world within a cave by Qu Fu, and along with the innate auspicious qi belonging to Jin Feng, she sent them back to the Volcano of Immortality. So where did this current Jin Feng come from?
Wencui, Putian, and Cihang all had furrowed brows and were deep in thought. Deng Changyu saw that Zhenjingsen's thoughts seemed different from normal thoughts and asked out of curiosity.
"Is it possible that Brother knows the background of the golden bird?"
"I don't know, I don't know! I don't know either," Chi Jingzi quickly shook his head.
He was close to the Yellow-Pill Master and knew what it was as soon as Jiang Ziya opened his mouth.
After the Dragon and Phoenix Great Calamity, the Yellow-Pill Master found Jin Feng's remaining soul in a secret cave and collected it specially.
Initially, he was going to refine a weapon with it, but after Nuwa saved Yuan Feng at the Fall of the Phoenix Slope, the Feng tribe was not completely annihilated and its destiny still remained. So he no longer pursued the matter of refining the weapon.
The current golden bird at Jinchilin Ridge is likely the soul of Jin Feng that the Yellow-Pill Master specially collected.
Jiang Ziya was waiting anxiously for them to make a decision, and Deng Changyu and the others exchanged glances.
"Let's go, let's go!"
"Alright, let's go together."
Jiang Ziya was delighted to have summoned five powerful figures in one go! Although Wencui and Putian were slightly weaker, Cihang, Deng Changyu, and Zhenjingsen were all capable fighters. It should be no problem to eliminate that golden bird.
