I am the Lord of the Underworld

Chapter 152 Flying Bear Jiang Shang, Water Prison Cave

The location of the water prison is on the hillside of Wushan Mountain. This place is a bottomless tiankeng. Over the past 10,000 years, it has accommodated innumerable streams. It is impossible to enter the tiankeng without special skills.

This place is twelve miles away from the territory. Tang Ping doesn't want to go there now, and wants to wait until the territory gets there to see the situation.

After that, Tang Ping went back to practice.

Now the progress of cultivation is more than halfway, and there are still about 100 years left, that is to say, it will break through to the late stage of manifestation.

In the past, Tang Ping might have been anxious because of the slow promotion of his cultivation base, but now he seems much calmer.

In the past, I was the only one with the highest realm. If I couldn't stand it, life would be miserable in the future, and my foundation would even be ruined.

Not necessarily now, the two sisters are standing in front, so I don't have to be in a hurry.

Anyway, the cultivation base is rising steadily, this is his own path, a different path.

"Shinto lies in cooperation. Talents must be cultivated by ourselves, but we also have a heart to accept outsiders who admire Shinto."

Tang Ping thought so.

When a new generation replaces an old one, the new ones do not necessarily become talents, but they also need to be continuously cultivated so that they can continue.Don't fall behind on the absorption of external fresh blood.

Tang Ping returned to Bailong Cave Mansion to practice, while the priests on Wushan Mountain were scattered among the tribes of the Three Kingdoms, and their beliefs should be dispersed as much as possible to avoid being discovered by others.

In the next few years, Tang Ping devoted himself to practicing.

In the Bailong Cave, day and night, I sit and watch the tide rise and fall, and the flowers bloom and fade.

On this day, a ball of flame flew here, revealing a man with red hair.

This is Feng Xiao, the eighth prince of the Fire Kingdom.

"Meet the Lord God!"

"What's the matter with you?" Tang Ping was puzzled.

"My father is about to retire and go to worship the volcano to practice in seclusion. About three months later, he will be the eldest son."

Whoever is strong in the Fire Worship Kingdom will be the king. As for the strong, it refers to cultivation and flames.

The eldest son Hui Nanming Lihuo, this fire is extremely powerful in killing, and it is the number one among all fires in the Fire Worship Kingdom.

"Your cultivation is pretty good now. The brothers are all at the same cultivation level. Do you have the confidence to defeat them?"

"Of course there is." This Feng Xiao is very confident. He has practiced for many years and has a god position. He doesn't even have this ability.

"However..." Having said this, Feng Xiao looked embarrassed, "King Fire Worship is a very selfish person, even if he wins this time, he might not be able to ascend the throne smoothly."

"Why?"

"Because the flame of the eldest son is the same as that of the Fire Worship King."

Moreover, Feng Huan's background is not very good. His mother clan was a captive who was defeated in the war. His mother was sent to the Fire Worship King to play with. subordinates.

Therefore, Feng Xiao's status is not high, and it can even be said that he is hated by the Fire Worship King, so if he wins, the Fire Worship King will definitely go back on his word. the throne.

"You can convince people with virtue. You bring Zhang Wulang with you. Zhang Wulang has profound virtues, understands them with reason, and moves them with emotion. Your father will definitely be moved to tears, and your elder brother is also humble and friendly."

Tang Ping smiled mysteriously.

With the development of Shinto to this point, the Kingdom of Fire Worship seems insignificant, and the cultivation base of King Fire Worship is also Shan Xia.

Zhang Wulang and Zhu Man can solve it by going to one of them at will, and they don't even need the Goddess of Xiangshui to come out.

Feng Xiao's eyes lit up, he bowed down and said, "Thank you, Lord God, for your guidance."

"By the way, that Nanming Lihuo, send some over some other day."

There are dozens of hundreds of flames in the Fire Worship Nation, enough for him to use until he dies.

"Yes."

Holding Tang Ping's token, Feng Xiao casts magic spells to escape into the underworld.

As soon as I came to the underworld, I found that things in front of me were completely new.

Although it is still generally gloomy and cold, and still has a gray tone, but it is a little less hostile and crazy.

This has always been the feeling of the underworld, but now there is a sense of tranquility and peace.

Especially the Yellow Spring in the center of the earth.

A steady stream of ghosts entered the spring for washing, and then walked out easily, and the whole ghost was completely new.

"There is such a god."

Feng Xiao didn't care to take a closer look, and then flew to the palace under the banyan tree, Zhang Wulang was passed on by ghosts and gods, and Zhang Wulang walked out.

"Brother Fengxian, long time no see."

"Don't dare to be, Your Majesty is being polite." Feng Xiao was flattered, this ghost in front of him was no ordinary ghost.

This person is recorded in the history books of Chu State, basically at every point in time.

Then Feng Xiao told Zhang Wulang about Tang Ping's arrangements one by one.

"Since it was arranged by Shenhou, then I will be with you."

Zhang Wulang didn't prepare too much, and went straight to the country of worshiping fire.

Needless to say, the story after that, Feng Xiao defeated his two elder brothers in worshiping the volcano, and the thousands of social fires with his body, coupled with the blessing of the altar, became even more powerful.

There were tens of thousands of turmoil in worshiping the volcano that day, even though the competitors exhausted their strength and spells, there was still nothing they could do.

The two brothers retreated.

Sure enough, Fire Worship King broke the rules and insisted on handing over the throne to the eldest son.

Fortunately, Zhang Wulang appeared in time, understood the truth, moved him with emotion, and finally made the Fire Worship King wake up, and finally returned his position to Feng Xiao, and voluntarily entered the practice of worshiping the volcano.

The fact that the former king went to worship the volcano is actually the same as the custom of "abandoning the old" in the ancient tribes. When the king is old and useless, and his strength declines, he starts to abdicate and enters the practice of worshiping the volcano.

If it breaks through, it will go to a higher level and continue to lead the tribe to the peak. If not, it will naturally become the nourishment for worshiping the volcano and contribute to future generations.

Feng Xiao ascended the throne and sent envoys to Jingdu to have an audience, which meant formally joining the alliance of the Chu state and offering allegiance to the Chu people. From then on, the Chu culture had one more ally.

Xiaoxiang, Chu State, Yu State, and Baihuo State, the four kingdoms of Chu were established.

The biggest stumbling block in the south is worshiping the allegiance of the Fire Nation, which means that the door to the south is wide open, and the door to the deeper Baiyue land is opened.

At the same time, the state of Chu shifted its focus to the south. There are too many fierce people in the north, and there are high-level people in any city, but there are no people in the south. There is land everywhere. Although the environment is harsh, it is always beneficial to open up slowly. .

Xiqi.

Weishui.

The north is the river, and the south is the river.

The river is also turbulent in this era, and an old man with a white head is sitting by the river, busy fishing.

This person seemed to be integrated with the sky and the earth, and the clouds in the sky revolved around him, and the white clouds faintly gathered to form a flying bear.

Ji Chang led his entourage to visit.

"Is there really an expert in this place?" Nangong asked puzzled.

This place is so remote, with better eyesight, you can still see the smoke rising from Rongjun City not far away.

Nangong Shi is the most familiar with this. Generally, where there is a beacon fire, there must be Xirong. This group of people is very united. Once the beacon fire rises, there will be warriors from all directions to support them.

The people of Zhou have been troubled a lot these years. In the past, the Shang country led troops to invade, and later, the Rong people plundered the border. Both sides are very strong. There is no place worse than this.

A few days ago, Ji Chang had a dream of flying bears, and he understood that it was a sign that a genius would seek refuge, so he told the minister Nangong Shi about the information in his dream. After some deduction, Nangong Shi came to a conclusion and brought Ji Chang to this place.

"There are strange people here, and it is said that they fish with straight hooks."

"Fishing with a straight hook?" Ji Chang was a little surprised, and said, "Can you catch it?"

"Never caught a fish."

"What does that mean?"

"There are also people who ask this way. This person said that he would rather take from the straight, not seek from the song, and not set it up for Jinlin, but only catch the king and the prince."

Ji Chang clapped his palms and laughed loudly, saying: "Haha, it's interesting, we are indeed geniuses, it seems that we are the fish, let's go, take the bait."

Ji Chang went up to talk to this person, and learned that his name was Jiang Shang, and Jiang Shang knew that Ji Chang was coming, so he didn't show any surprise.

The next day, Ji Chang prepared a generous gift and asked Jiang Shang to come out of the mountain.

Ji Changdao: "The former king and grandpa once said: 'There must be a saint who will come to Zhou, and the Zhou will prosper because of it.' Seeing you today, we must know that the saint is you. Our grandpa has been looking forward to you for a long time."

Since then, Jiang Shang also has the title of Taigong Wang.

Jiang Shang was deeply moved, and the two returned to the court in the same car, and Ji Changchi named Jiang Shang the grand master.

Jiang Shang lived up to everyone's expectations, he asked Ji Chang about his strategy, and said: "Even if we have the destiny to do business, we can't do it without the help of outsiders."

"How to get people in the world to help each other?"

"All the countries have been harmed by the King of Shang, and they yearn for peace in their hearts. We don't need to show off our power, but we can cultivate benevolence."

Jiang Shang's strategy is virtue. Virtue may seem ethereal, but it is of great help to reputation, and action is action. Reputation alone is not enough, but action is also necessary.

The route of blind expansion will not work, and it will not work to follow the path of the Dayi merchant. The real Dayi merchant is there. If you learn from others, can you surpass the deity?

"Except for all the dangerous and fertile lands, other places can be generously entrusted to others, and the internal policy of loving the people, doing things that benefit the people, training soldiers and horses, and recuperating."

"Constrain other countries with patriarchal etiquette and abolish bloody and cruel human sacrifices."

Ji Chang wrote down one by one.

"Combine with the princes who are dissatisfied with the merchants of Dayi, and make strong support. How to win people's trust? Rende also."

A few years later, when Yu and Rui were involved in a land dispute, Ji Changming made a decision, and was praised as receiving the Mandate of Heaven.

Jiang Shang went to Xirong again. In the area of ​​Zhongshan, he urged the various tribes of Xirong to reconcile with the Western Zhou Dynasty. First of all, the Longshouren, who were also descendants of Houji with the Western Zhou Dynasty, lived in Daye, Xishan, Daze, and Chi.

There is also the Wuxian Kingdom, which holds a green snake in its left hand and a red snake in its right hand; the Enlightened Kingdom, which worships enlightened beasts and guards the Yellow River; and the highly developed Husband Kingdom.

Although these people are Xirong, they are also descendants of Yanhuang Miao, and many of them are adherents of the Xia Dynasty.

Ji Changren is in stark contrast to the brutal Emperor Xin.

In an instant, more and more princes turned to pay tribute to the Western Zhou Dynasty.

This move aroused Emperor Xin's fear, but he did not intensify the conflict on the face of it, but instead praised Xibo Hou Jichang's behavior of rectifying the princes.

The same is true for Ji Chang.

Xiaobangzhou vs. Dayi Shang is a battle of extremely unequal strength. The Shang country has thousands of years of experience, and there is an emperor's soul guarding Chaoge. Chaoge is like an invincible city.

Before there is no power to destroy the dead, it is absolutely impossible to act rashly.

Undercurrents are surging on both sides, and the world pattern has changed.

Di Xin accelerated the speed of absorbing the emperor's soul, as well as the conquest of the Quartet, he must firmly control the power in his hands.

The great enemy is still Dongyi, ten Xibohous are not as good as one Dongyi, followed by Beidi.

Only by stabilizing these two places can you control Xibohou at will.

Emperor Xin's martial arts are world-class, and he must go there in person for every conquest. Relying on cruel methods and conferring titles, the princes of the East Road gradually became powerful, many Yi countries were naturalized, and the living space of Dongyi was compressed to the coast.

From the bright side, the development of Dashang cannot be kept up by Xibohou's flattery.

When everyone was fighting like a raging fire, Chu State seemed a bit monotonous.

Anyway, the position is far enough away, and it belongs to the kind that is not qualified to sit in the meeting.

While doing business with the Western Zhou Dynasty, he was loyal to Emperor Xin at the same time.It's a joy to have both sides.

In Bailong Cave Mansion, Tang Ping had nothing else to do, except for cultivation, he just went shopping in a chariot.

Occasionally look at new things, or enlighten a few creatures, and give some resources at will.Or turn into an old man and go down to earth to tell stories.

All he had to do was wait.

Wait for the strength to become stronger, and wait for the territory to expand.

One year, ten years, one hundred years, one thousand years.Anyway, just don't go out of the mountain, just wait and wait and you will become stronger.

On this day, the charms hung on the walls of the cave shone red, which was extremely dazzling in the dim environment.

Tang Ping took it down and took a look. It turned out to be a message from Taoist Danjing Qingyun. This is Danjing's entry talisman, which can convey relevant information.

"Almost forgot, there are people like you." Tang Ping muttered to himself, and then sensed what he said.

It probably means that eight years later, the sect master will reorganize the roster and positions, and Tang Ping will have to get out anyway, and Qingyun asked Tang Ping how he has been practicing recently, what level he has practiced in Qiong Dan Shenlun, and what new alchemy recipes he has.

"Dan Fang?"

There are not many elixirs, but with different flames, many elixirs of extremely high quality have been refined.

Tang Ping now has four kinds of fire on his body, Shehuo, Canghaihuo, Huofenghuo, and Yinhuo.

The properties of these flames are different, and the elixirs refined are also different.

Tang Ping has now mastered which material to use and which flame, which can not only improve the efficiency, but also maximize the medicinal properties.

"Just give me some Dan Fang."

Tang Ping sent the results of these years of research to him. This thing is enough to prove that he is a genius.

"As for being unable to pass after eight years..."

Tang Ping figured it out, he can go there, but if he doesn't go deep, the matter here has not been dealt with yet.

The Daxi tribe in the north and the Yongguo in the west are threats, and the Yuren don't know when they will enter again.

After thinking about it, Tang Ping still felt that it would be better to be more stable.

Let's settle the female ugliness first.

Several years later, the territory finally expanded to Wushan Water Prison.

"finally reached."

At night, Tang Ping was suspended in the void.

Below is a dark tiankeng, hundreds of feet wide, it can be said to be bottomless, and there is a puddle of black water underneath.

He discovered one thing, there is no space in this underground, it should be a small cave outside the independent world just like Jianxia Ghost City.

With a thought in his mind, Tang Ping fell into it.

There are various reliefs on the walls of the cave, most of which are dragons with teeth and claws and various water species.

If you look closely, these things can still move.

They are living creatures, and they have guarded here for thousands of years, but it is a pity that Tang Ping under the moon-shading method cannot be seen.

Tang Ping fell into the water, the water quality was pitch black, there were countless pitch black particles, bones could be seen faintly, and it was even highly poisonous.

I don't know how long it took to fall.

Whoa!
Suddenly, his eyes lit up, as if he had passed through a certain restriction, the water flow disappeared, and people's voices could be faintly heard from all around.
