Chapter 734: The gods fight, and they are all caught in one swoop
There has been a severe drought in the past few months, and princes everywhere have been worried, even though the college students they hired had long ago explained to them that the cause of the drought was the climate imbalance caused by the disappearance of the ocean.
However, these princes still stubbornly believed that it must be mortals who had committed sins and angered the heavens, and they tried every possible means to pray for blessings and rain, and even carried out the abolished human sacrifice ceremony several times. They also threw many innocent girls into the long-dried river for no reason to marry as wives for the Dragon King Hebo.
The news that gods and Buddhas were gathering on the top of Mount Tai spread, and the princes who got the news believed that a great change in the heaven would lead to the emergence of a sage ruler, which was clearly a sign of a change of dynasty. They all rode their horses as fast as they could to Mount Tai to participate in the event.
There were two princes living near Mount Tai, namely the Marquis of Qi and the Marquis of Lu. The Marquis of Qi, who was close to the water, got to the foot of Mount Tai first, and showed his wide eyes in front of all the gods and Buddhas.
The five senses of the gods in the clouds were so sharp that they could see and hear clearly the movements and conversations of the group of mortals at the foot of Mount Tai.
"Who are those idiots down there? They don't even have time to escape, yet they're rushing to die."
"From what he said, he seems to be a descendant of Jiang Ziya."
"Jiang Taigong was very smart in his lifetime, but how could his descendants be so incompetent? It is true that wealth and glory are the worst kind of blessings."
"What are you talking about the blessing of the ancestors... Have they forgotten that the mother who gave birth to them was a jinx? They are just a bunch of little jinxes. How can they have a good ending?"
"Speaking of which, there is a question I have never figured out. When Jiang Taigong came out of the mountains, he was already 72 years old. His wife married him at 68, so how come she was able to give birth to a son?"
"You don't know this, right? Jiang Ziya looked righteous and sage, but he was actually very vulgar. When he was 80 years old and had achieved success and fame, he divorced his wife and married a 28-year-old concubine named Shen Jiang, also known as Peach Blossom Girl."
"Wow, an eighty-year-old married a sixteen-year-old woman and gave birth to a child. He didn't learn Taoism very well, but he did have a good understanding of the art of nourishing and replenishing the body."
"So he learned the wrong thing. No wonder Yuanshi Tianzun drove him down the mountain..."
The gods of the Fire Tribe and the gods of the Water Tribe were close to each other. The gods of the Fire Tribe were all disciples of Jiejiao, while the gods of the Water Tribe were mostly generals of the Shang army. These two gangs secretly hated Jiang Ziya, and when they saw his descendants making such a fool of themselves, they naturally became resentful.
Not a single nice word!
"Be quiet! We are going through a catastrophe. Be serious!"
Li Jing was just coming over to adjust the distance between the queues. Hearing their words getting more and more unbearable, he shouted at them harshly.
The gods from both groups sneered in silence, and looked at Li Jing with contempt.
Where there are people, there is the world of martial arts. Even though they were officials in the same palace, Li Jing, as a rebel general of the Shang Dynasty and the father of a disciple of the Chan sect, could not get along with the gods of the fire and water tribes.
In the past, he relied on magic weapons to bully others and allowed his sons to commit crimes. Now, he is even more like a monkey in human form, a fox taking advantage of the power of a tiger. If the Ruyi Jade Tablet had not been connected to the Jade Emperor, I am afraid that the two gods would have ridiculed him.
"Don't worry about the foolish mortals who are seeking death below. All troops should be on high alert. The earthquake just now was the demons attacking the Taishan Yin-Yang Guardian Formation."
Li Jing thought he had stopped the two deserting gods, and shouted: "Once Mount Tai collapses, the army of demon mosquitoes will swarm out. At that time, all gods will show their magical powers. Don't let a mosquito fly into the mortal world!"
As he was speaking, the ground below began to shake again. The sound was like rumbling thunder, shaking the whole area.
Marquis Qi had arrived at the winding mountain road at the foot of the mountain. He got off the carriage and climbed onto a slide, which was then carried up the mountain by several strong soldiers.
The successive earthquakes caused the Fengshan team to stagger all over the place, and some even accidentally slipped off the cliff and were smashed to pieces. "This is God testing Da Qi!"
Qi Hou, still in shock, shouted to encourage the morale: "The gods and Buddhas are watching us. The more dangerous the moment, the more we must climb bravely. The light is ahead, at the top of Mount Tai. When we reach the top, we will see all the other mountains below us!"
It was not known whether it was intentional or coincidental, but Marquis Qi uttered a famous saying from later generations, which had a great effect. All the close court officials were greatly encouraged, and they surrounded Marquis Qi's sedan chair and quickened their pace to climb the mountain.
"Pfft... There's no better way to hurry up and reincarnate than this."
Wen Rui, who was hiding in the underground base of the Jinling Immortal Sect, couldn't help laughing out loud when watching the scene images sent back by the unmanned reconnaissance aircraft.
While smiling, he took out the small black notebook, turned to the first page, and drew a cross on the three words "Jiang Ziya".
It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. The original owner dies, but his descendants suffer.
The Marquis of Qi had to spend all the money in the national treasury to buy first-hand information from the Chamber of Commerce about the gathering of gods and Buddhas at Mount Tai. Otherwise, he would not have been able to win the first place in this long-distance race of reincarnation.
The eight hundred princes of the Zhou Dynasty, including King You of Zhou, all received the news about the Chamber of Commerce's sale. It was just a matter of time before they received the news. They all brought their entire families and rushed to Mount Tai to get some of the magical energy. Now they are all within a hundred miles of Mount Tai.
When the gods fight later, these innocent people who have come here to reincarnate will definitely be the first to suffer.
This was another version of the beacon fire trick planned by Wen Rui.
All the rulers of the Zhou Dynasty, from the king down, were wiped out in one fell swoop. Regardless of whether the gods and Buddhas could prevent the invasion of the evil mosquitoes into the mortal world, the Zhou Dynasty could not continue to survive.
Nuwa's plan to use Wen Rui as her offspring to continue the fortune of the Great Zhou was doomed to fail.
The most interesting thing is that this is also a strategy of killing someone with a borrowed knife. The ones who really took action to destroy the Great Zhou are the gods and Buddhas in the sky. If Nuwa is unwilling, she can go to war with the gods and Buddhas in the sky.
Even if they want to blame Wen Rui, Wen Rui also has something to say. The news he sold was not fake. The news also clearly stated at the end that the gathering of gods and Buddhas at Mount Tai was related to a great catastrophe between heaven and earth. It was extremely dangerous and there was no chance of survival. It was best for mortals to stay away from it.
However, people often believe lies, but no one believes the truth. They think that risks are often accompanied by great opportunities. If you don't dare to go, there will naturally be some fearless princes who will go.
By then, if someone else gets there first and gets blessed by the gods and Buddhas, it will be too late to regret.
For the princes, severe drought in the mortal world would actually mean chronic death. When the stored food was eaten up, it would be like crying out to the heavens and the earth for help, and no one would be able to help.
It would be better to risk one's life for a chance at immortality. When a person dies, birds fly back to the sky. One will live forever. When their ancestors rose up against the Shang Dynasty, didn't they also put their heads on the line to earn endless wealth and glory for their descendants for several lifetimes?
People die for money and birds die for food. There is nothing new under the sun. This conspiracy is no different from an open conspiracy.
Turning on the communicator, Wen Rui issued the next order to the demon alliance combat troops who were on high alert: "Attention all units, the second phase of the 'Chaos Era' plan has officially started. Set out immediately to sweep the southern continent. Don't let anyone go. Dehydrate them all and bring them back!"
