Chapter 563: Judging a Saint by One's Own Mind
After controlling the child, Wen Rui started the jump engine, turned into a stream of light, penetrated into the hexagonal space gate under his unwilling gaze, and disappeared without a trace.
A hexagonal portal opened in another space. Wen Rui flashed out, stepped on the auspicious clouds and flew to a lush and sacred mountain in front of him, and went straight to the ancient temple standing on the top of the mountain.
After leaping away from Lishan, Wen Rui did not return to heaven, but teleported thousands of miles eastward, arrived at the Taihang Mountains, and went straight to the Wahuang Palace on the Taihang Five Fingers Mountain.
When they arrived at the Wahuang Palace, they heard a bird cry from below. Two phoenixes, one red and one blue, flapped their wings and flew up, circling and dancing around Wen Rui, surrounding him.
"I am Wen Rui, the Emperor of Jietian. I have come to pay my respects to the Goddess Nuwa. Please let the two Holy Envoys know."
Wen Rui had no idea of the realm of this pair of Blue Luan and Fire Phoenix. He didn't know how many tens of thousands of years of cultivation they had. He was probably already practicing with Queen Wa when the dragon and phoenix first calamity occurred.
Wen Rui, who was used to being arrogant, did not dare to act rashly when he arrived at the gate of Queen Wa Palace. He had to be polite in front of the maids and mounts of Queen Wa.
Taishang Laojun is also a saint, even a Hunyuan saint who became a saint by beheading the three corpses, which is a higher level than becoming a saint by virtue. However, Wen Rui's attitude towards Laojun and Nuwa is very hypocritical.
There's no way. Everyone knows that Nuwa is narrow-minded. If you say something to her behind her back, she can destroy your country.
"Emperor Jietian?"
Huo Feng said, with a rather sarcastic tone in his voice: "What a big tone! The Jade Emperor really dares to appoint officials at random. I have never heard of such a person. The Queen Mother Wa does not want to see strangers. You should leave quickly!"
The seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister is nothing in the eyes of the saint's mount, and the immortal of the emperor's immortal seal is nothing.
Only celestial officials of the rank of the Jade Emperor, Queen Mother of the West, Dou Mu Yuan Jun, and Tianzun Wen Zhong are qualified to meet Queen Wa.
"Uh……"
Unexpectedly, even the door of the Queen Wa Palace was difficult to enter. Wen Rui looked depressed, but he was no longer as arrogant and domineering as before.
Wen Rui is not afraid of these two phoenixes, as he has special means to restrain the fire-type beasts.
But when beating a dog, one has to look at the owner first. Nuwa is famous for not being lenient with anyone. After she has dealt with these two phoenixes, she will skin Wen Rui right after.
So she could only smile and say, "Holy Envoy, I am not a living person. My father is Tianzun Wen Rui, and my teacher is the Golden Spirit Holy Mother. This time I am meeting the Queen Wa to report important matters concerning the destiny of the human race for a thousand years. Please help me."
As he spoke, Wen Rui took out a basket of peaches from his arms and handed it over with a smile: "I came here in a hurry, so I only brought some local specialties to honor the queen. They are all grown in my own garden. I hope the Holy Envoy will accept them on behalf of the Queen Wa, so that I can show my gratitude to her."
These peaches are real peaches, all stolen from the Queen Mother's Peach Garden. Now the Peach Garden is said to be Wen Rui's own garden. It's a bit exaggerated, but it's pretty close to the truth.
Borrowing the fairy land and fairy branches of the Pantao Garden, Wen Rui set up a hybrid Pantao experimental field. The peaches produced matured much earlier, and the life-extending effect of taking them was greatly reduced, but the taste and flavor were multiplied.
These artificial peaches were mixed with the real ones and served on the table. The great gods, who were as old as heaven and earth, could not tell much difference between them. Instead, they thought the fake peaches tasted better.
In this way, Wen Rui could take the opportunity to embezzle countless peaches without worrying about being exposed.
The basket of peaches given as a gift as a stepping stone was also a mixture of real and fake, with more fakes than real ones.
Anyway, Nuwa has an infinite lifespan, and the ancient mythical beasts serving her have long been immortal. Adding a few more years of lifespan on top of the infinite lifespan still makes it infinite, and there is no way to tell whether it is real or not.
Huo Feng looked at the basket of peaches that were full of peach fragrance and fairy spirit, and hesitated a little. It is said that officials do not hit people who give gifts, and immortals also pay attention to human relationships. Many of the immortals who visited Nuwa were great gods and saints with immortal style, but they were all incorruptible and most of them entered by face recognition.
This young man holds a low official position and is not very famous, and his ability is even of the lowest rank.
The only thing he was doing was very generous.
However, it would be too embarrassing for the Queen Wa's attendants to let the person in with a rude attitude after receiving the gift. Huo Feng was a little embarrassed to agree and stood there in a daze for a while.
Qing Luan tilted her head and looked at Wen Rui for a long while, then spoke in human language, her voice sounding a bit like a cold and arrogant queen: "Wen Rui, the Wen Rui from the Jinling Immortal Sect? I'm so grateful... Your granddaughter has received your kindness. You helped her become an immortal in ten years, and she has a good relationship with my Phoenix Clan."
"Ah, yes, yes, yes. Junior Sister Qingyu has gone through experimental development. Ahem, it was my careful cultivation that brought her potential to its full potential. She has comprehended the essence of fire, cultivated a plasma-state immortal body, and comprehended the ways of molecular and atomic recombination and change. She is currently working hard to study the way of spiritual nirvana and comprehend the 'power of the phoenix'. Her future is limitless."
Wen Rui hurriedly tried to get close to him: "The Wen family has worshipped the black bird as a totem for generations, and has a deep connection with the Phoenix clan. Going back tens of thousands of years, they might even be relatives."
Huo Feng rolled his eyes and muttered, "Tens of thousands of years ago, the Queen hadn't created humans yet..."
Qingluan's attitude was obviously much better. She nodded to Wen Rui and said, "Wait here and don't barge in. If you were a mortal, we wouldn't stop you. Queen Wa hates gods disturbing her holy palace. If Queen Wa doesn't want to see you, don't bother her, or you'll suffer."
The Fire Phoenix then stretched out its claws, grabbed the basket of peaches, and flew down with the Green Luan into the hall.
Wen Rui came to the Nuwa Palace to investigate a case, and the first suspect in his notebook was Nuwa.
There's nothing we can do. It's because the Empress has a criminal record. Of course we have to start with the habitual offenders.
From the perspective of motive for the crime and the biggest beneficiary, Nuwa is the most likely suspect.
Back then, Nuwa sent the three monsters from Xuanyuan Tomb to wreak havoc on the Shang Dynasty and committed endless evil deeds. Although she finally put the blame on the three monsters, her reputation was still tarnished.
If after the fall of King Zhou of Shang, the Zhou Dynasty could have fought back a little, presented a clear contrast with the Shang Dynasty, and created eternal peace, it could have been considered a way to make up for it.
But by the time of King You of Zhou, he was even worse than King Zhou of Shang. Although King Zhou was tyrannical, he was not stupid. King You of Zhou simply set a new record for a stupid ruler. He was incompetent, talentless, and unjust, and he treated the country as a joke.
After the fall of the Western Zhou Dynasty, the Eastern Zhou Dynasty was in name only. The Zhou emperor was barely surviving, but was humiliated and bullied by his subjects. His life became increasingly miserable, and he brought shame to his ancestors.
During the Warring States Period, the human race was constantly attacking each other, with countless casualties and no more righteous wars. By this calculation, the number of people killed by King Zhou was less than the number of people killed in the Changping Massacre.
In this way, it seems that Nuwa's support for Zhou to destroy Shang was not truly for the prosperity of mankind. The more the Eastern Zhou royal court lost its way and prestige, the more it seemed that Nuwa was narrow-minded and had no vision. She overthrew the previous tyrannical dynasty and replaced it with a foolish one.
Prosperity, people suffer; death, people suffer!
Saints have the ability to predict the future and can observe the rise and fall of human beings, and have a certain ability to make vague predictions.
At this critical juncture of the Zhou Dynasty's decline, seeing some clues, Nuwa goddess intervened and selected a leader of revival who had both ability and background. He had to not only completely reverse the decline of the Zhou royal court, but also lead the human race to rise strongly.
If this task is accomplished, not only will the human race prosper, but Nuwa will also be proud.
Facts have proved that she helped Zhou to destroy Shang out of justice for humanity, and she was definitely not petty or vengeful.
