I am the Lord of the Underworld

Chapter 164 Ji Kao envoy Chu, the way of lead and mercury
Weishui.

Two white-haired old men sat firmly on the Diaoyutai. The one on the left was dressed more luxuriously and had a warm temperament.

The temperament on the right is mysterious and unpredictable.

Jiang Shang stared at the water and said to himself: "Kunlun is the head of all races in the west, and Rong Qiang regards the Queen Mother of the West as a god. The Kunlun Xuanyuan has not been opened for tens of thousands of years, and all tribes still regard Kunlun as a holy place. If Xiqi can worship the Queen Mother of the West , even if it’s just for face, our work will be much easier.”

"can."

Xiqi has always respected ghosts and gods and kept them at a distance. Of course, he did not reject ghosts and gods. Ghosts and gods exist objectively, and this cannot be ignored.

"I'm planning to go for this pilgrimage in person. I've calculated that there's no danger." Ji Chang was very confident.

In terms of the way of divination and calculation, no one in this world is comparable to him.

"Divination can't be complete, it's too dangerous." Jiang Shang shook his head.

The higher the cultivation level of the object of divination, the larger the events involved, the wider the scope of the subject, and the hexagrams are generally inaccurate, and may even mislead oneself.

For example, the difficulty of divination between a mortal and an immortal is different.Or cities and countries, small-scale wars and national wars.Needless to say, the difficulty of comparing the two.

"Di Xin personally invited me this time, and I must go this time."

The monarch used the excuse of missing himself, and the courtiers could not go.

Wouldn't it be a rebellion if you didn't go?

Ji Chang is admired by all parties with his benevolence.

Relying on benevolence, this is a completely different way of governing the world from the big business.

Big merchants are conquered by force, relying on strong national power to crush directly, whether you like it or not.

Therefore, Shang is Dayi Shang.Zhou's national strength can only be a small state Zhou.

Xiaobangzhou can't learn from the big merchants. No matter how strong the force is, can it be stronger than the big merchants?
We can only take the benevolent route of conquering people's hearts.

Whether it is a small country with only one city-state or a large country with thousands of vehicles, Ji Chang treats them equally.Even when dealing with disputes between big and small countries, it does not favor the weaker side, and the means of handling problems convince both sides.

Hence the title of saint.

A sage has no time, and a sage will not rebel, so he must go, just betting that Emperor Xin will not kill himself, a world-famous benevolent sage.

It doesn't matter if he is killed, Di Xin's reputation has plummeted, and Xi Qi can take advantage of the opportunity to gain momentum. Ji Chang is equivalent to sacrificing himself.

Seeing Ji Chang's insistence, Jiang Shang stopped admonishing him.

"The west is remote, and we need to infiltrate into the Central Plains. Chongguo is a stumbling block. Taking Chongguo will open the door to the Central Plains. Therefore, we need the help of surrounding forces. Shu, Yongguo, and other countries around Chongguo can all fight for it," Jiang Shang said. The general trend of the world.

"Chu is our family friend. If we make good friends with Shu, the Yong country, or even the Xi country, will we turn against Chu?"

"In the remote and evil place in the south, the state of Chu can't affect the overall situation. Shuyong is what we want to fight for, even if it hurts the interests of old friends."

United with the princes of all parties on the West Road, it will be enough to wrestle with the big merchants at that time.

No matter how strong the Chu State is, it will be difficult to exert [-]% of its power across a natural moat of Yunmengze.

Thinking of this, Ji Chang chose a compromise method and said: "I will send Ji Kao to visit Chu State to deepen the exchanges between the two sides. In the future, besides business, we can also learn from each other in terms of martial arts."

Ji Kao is the eldest son of Ji Chang, and the eldest son went to visit them, which gave Chu State a lot of face.

"Well, it's almost there." Jiang Shang disapproved of Chu State.

The chat between the monarch and his subjects is not like a monarch and his subjects, but like friends.

In other words, the ancient monarchs and ministers were all like this. In this era, kneeling is popular, and ministers kneel to the emperor. Why is the emperor not a kneeling minister? The two sides choose each other.

Xiqi.

The big city rises from the ground, without the luxury of Chaoge, only solemn.

The armor is like a forest, and the flags block out the sun.

In the sky, there are people with feathers and people with bird heads.There are sharks and fish-headed people in the water, and on the ground there are elders, Rong people, demon people,

All alien races are here.

When Xi Qi saw it, it made people feel like they were bearing the burden of humiliation and waiting for death.

This is the accumulation of thousands of years in the Western Zhou Dynasty.

Back then, the Zhou people had their own foundation, but Emperor Yi of the Great Shang saw that the Zhou people were powerful, and secretly colluded with Rong Di to destroy the Zhou people's foundation.

Gugong Tanfu led the rest of the tribe to migrate to Zhouyuan, "farming and weaving, and doing business in a suitable place" to develop the foundation.

In the period of Ji Chang's father, the prosperity was restored, and Emperor Yi was reluctant to let him go, and imprisoned Ji Chang's father in Chaoge until he died.

The conflict between Zhou people and businessmen cannot be explained clearly in a few words. Even if Zhou people rebel now, there are sufficient reasons.

night.

The stars shine on Qishan.

Zhouyuan is located in a remote place, but the stars seem to be surrounded by many stars.

There is a high platform on the top of the mountain.

The wind on the stage is like a knife, and the stars shine like day.

A heroic man sat cross-legged in the void.

The man is ten feet tall, bare-chested, with well-proportioned muscles and black hair scattered in the wind.

The eyes are closed tightly, and the starlight gathers on the body surface, forming a star map faintly, like a tattoo.

The moment I saw this person, my first impression was Wang Ba.

Both kingly and domineering, high above, like a god king overlooking everyone.

This is Ji Fa, the second son of Ji Chang, the most qualified person in the history of the Zhou people.

Zhou people practiced the way of induction between heaven and man. There is no specific method, but only induction, induction of the universe, and absorption of starlight.

Some people absorb one kind, or several kinds.

And Ji Fa is the one who can absorb all starlight cultivation.

There is another man next to Ji Fa. This man is gentle, handsome and gentle.

It's gentle, but it's soft as water.

This is the eldest son Ji Kao.

Under the shining starlight, Ji Kao was the first to be unable to stand it, and withdrew from the state of induction between heaven and man, and the starlight no longer shone on this person.

He looked at Ji Fa who didn't change his face, feeling a little lonely in his heart.

An hour later, Ji Fa received his power, and the star map on his body surface dissipated.

"Second brother, are you about to break through the Immortal?" Ji Kao asked.

"A little bit, but not too much."

"Hey, my brother is still struggling in Shanxia." Ji Kao sighed.

There is only one starlight he can sense, and that is the Ziwei Emperor Star.

Ji Chang was ecstatic when he was born, but later he discovered that this amount of starlight is not enough for cultivation, unless Ji Kao is a long-lived longevity species.

It was only after Ji Fa was born that Ji Chang's attention was taken away from Ji Kao.

Ji Fa didn't feel as good about Ziwei Dixing as he did, but he could absorb everything.

"Brother, don't underestimate yourself, maybe you just have a lot of accumulation."

Ji Fa said solemnly.

"Thank you dear brother."

No matter how outsiders fight around them, the two are still brothers.

The next day, Ji Kao received Ji Chang's order.

"Chu country? The legendary country of Zhurong?"

Ji Kao was a little curious.

According to legend, Zhou Yuan is the hometown of Emperor Yan. Zhu Rong is said to be related to Emperor Yan. The state of Chu also worships the Phoenix. Ji Kao is very interested.

Just like that, Ji Kao set off for Chu State with his luggage and a group of entourage.

the other side.

Dan well.

Tang Ping also sat cross-legged, vain and empty, with solemn eyes, never leaving the alchemy furnace for a moment.

The pill in front of me is a great pill that gathers the five elements of lead, mercury, and the essence of various schools.

When observing the changes of the elixir, Tang Ping seemed to comprehend a little bit of the changes of yin and yang and five elements.

Isn't lead and mercury the same as yin and yang, and the five stones such as sulfur and saltpeter are yin and yang?
