Chapter 168: Beacon Fire Plays with the Princes (Page 12)
Heavenly Court, Lingxiao Palace.
A star king stepped forward and cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, the Star Observation Hall has detected that the Witch God Jiu Feng has flown to the Earth Prisoner Star Territory. There is still one year left to reach the Earth Immortal Realm!"
The Star Observation Hall is a department under Dou Bu, responsible for exploring the rotation patterns of the stars in the sky. It is considered the real power department of Dou Bu, and its importance is self-evident.
"What? The Witch God Jiufeng has returned from the Taixu Starry Sky?"
Many Zhoutian Zhengshen were shocked and inexplicable.
You must know that the Taixu starry sky is vast and immeasurable, and there is basically a dead silence inside.
And because of the influence of the magnetic field of the stars, even the Golden Immortal monks will lose their way and cannot distinguish between east, west, north, south, up, down, left and right.
I don't know how many golden immortals from the earthly immortal world went to the Taixu Starry Sky to look for the magic weapon left behind by the great power of the ancient world.
In the end, they basically lost their way and died from exhaustion of mana.
There are only a few people who can come back from treasure hunting.
As for the great witch Jiufeng, he is the most powerful witch in the witch sect.
His strength is terrifying, and ordinary quasi-sages may not be his opponents.
In ancient times, he led the witch tribe to compete with the human race for the human world.
If it weren't for the great prosperity of the Human Sect, it was only due to the fate of heaven, and Zhuanxu had Taoist Lu Ya and Taoist Duobao to help him, otherwise the world would have been a situation where humans and witches coexisted.
Even the Jade Emperor was frightened.
Even he, the Emperor of Heaven, was quite afraid of the power of the Nine Phoenixes, so he said: "My dear friends, the Nine Phoenixes of the Wu Clan are about to return to the Three Realms. How should we deal with them?"
"This……"
The righteous gods of the two religions, Chanjiao, all looked troubled.
Back then, Jiufeng and Xuanming attacked the Demon Court and killed countless demon gods. How majestic that was.
Now that he has returned from Taixu Starry Sky, he may be even more sinister.
Even if they are not on the list of gods, they are not their opponents.
So no one dared to come forward.
At this time, Xia Yi walked out of the radicals, nodded and said: "Your Majesty, that Jiu Feng has had a blood feud with the human race in ancient times, and the hatred for Zhuan Xu cannot be washed away by the Nine Heavens and the Galaxy. This time when he returns to the human world, he will definitely meet They will massacre the human race and even attack the Fire Cloud Cave to destroy the Five Emperors' true spirits, so we must intercept them outside the starry sky and prevent them from entering the earthly immortal world."
"What Tianzun Du'e said is reasonable. The great witch has a violent temper, especially a great evil like Jiufeng. If he is released into the earthly immortal world, it will be even more troublesome!"
Tiancheng Taibai Jinxing also agreed.
"In that case, how to stop the Wu Clan's Nine Phoenixes?"
The Jade Emperor also knew that once Jiufeng was released into the human world, it would be a disaster for the entire human race.
So it must be intercepted outside the stars.
He is the co-lord of the three realms and governs the human world. If the human race is in turmoil, he may be reprimanded by the saints from Huoyundong and the thirty-third heaven.
"Your Majesty, the Nine Phoenixes are so powerful that they are still above Chi You. If you want to intercept them, you need Zhou Tian Zhengshen to work together to repel the enemy!" Xia Yi cupped his hands and said.
"Tianzun Due's words make sense!"
The Jade Emperor nodded in agreement.
Then he said: "With Emperor Zhenwu as the grand marshal of the witchcraft, Zhou Qing, the great god of the three altars of sea meetings, as the vanguard, commanding the robbery department, water department, fire department, thunder department, and fighting department, Zhou Tianzhengshen will lead eight million forbidden troops and one hundred thousand The golden-armored giant spirits and gods will go to the Taixu Starry Sky together to stop the Nine Phoenixes!"
"I accept the decree!"
Emperor Zhenwu, the great god Zhou Qing of the Three Altars of Haihui, Xia Yi, the god of calamity and disaster control of the robbery department, Lei Zhenzi, the god of the thunder department, and other chief gods of the tribes, Zhou Tianzhengshen, all received the decree.
This time the Heavenly Court can be said to be in full force.
Only Wu Gang, the Jade War God, was left to guard the 33rd floor of the Heavenly Palace.
Wu Gang is the great witch Houyi, and his strength is undoubted. He is the number one general in heaven, and he is still above the Qinghua Emperor in the East Pole and the Changsheng Emperor in the Antarctic.
However, he is also an ancient witch, and like Jiufeng, he is the leader of a tribe, so he must have a close relationship.
If Jiufeng instigates rebellion or develops sympathy for Jiufeng, that would be very bad.
Therefore, it is better to stay in heaven and guard the heavens.
With the Jade Emperor and Yaochi Golden Mother sitting in Lingxiao, there is no need to worry about Wu Gang doing anything strange.
Let’s talk about Zhou Qing, although he is from the Wu clan like Wu Gang.
But he is a rising star of the witch clan. He has never participated in the witch formation, nor has he experienced the battles between humans and witches in ancient times.
He has no friendship with Jiufeng at all.
Strictly speaking, Zhou Qingqing was of the Jade Emperor's lineage.
So there is no need to worry that Zhou Qing will leave room for Jiufenghui.
Then, the behemoth of Heaven began to spin away.
-
Southern Zhanbuzhou.
One hundred and fifty years ago, King Xuan of Zhou died, and Ji Gongyan succeeded to the throne as King You of Zhou, the thirty-sixth emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
He also established his concubine, Empress Shen, as the queen, and her son Ji Yijiu as the prince.
At that time, the vassal state Baoguo was in rebellion, and Ji Gongyang sent a large army to conquer it.
Baoguo could not resist, so the leader of the country, Baoding, quickly presented his beloved daughter Bao Si to King You and prayed to King You to withdraw his troops.
Bao Si has the appearance of a country and a city. It is not an exaggeration to say that beauty is a disaster.
He soon gained the favor of King Zhou You.
It's just that Bao Si is as beautiful as a peach and plum, but as cold as ice. She has never smiled once since she entered the palace.
King You of Zhou tried every means to win Bao Si's happy smile, but Bao Si never smiled.
For this reason, King You of Zhou actually offered a reward of a thousand taels to anyone who could make Bao Si smile.
At this time, a Taoist priest, Guo Shifu, came up with an idea for King Zhou You and suggested using a beacon tower to try it.
As early as when King Xuan of Zhou was alive, there were Manghuang shamans from Luzhou in Beiju who invaded the Zhou Dynasty.
Among them, the Quanrong tribe is the main group.
The Quanrong Wu tribe under the command of Baliming has been continuously multiplying with human tribes for nearly a thousand years, and their population has reached hundreds of thousands.
These half-witches and half-blood shamans, also known as barbarians, are extremely powerful, with hard bodies, invulnerable and invulnerable.
Because the Quan Rong barbarians often attacked the Zhou Dynasty, King Xuan of Zhou built beacon towers in the Lishan area near Haojing, the capital of Zhou, in order to prevent the invasion of the Zhou Dynasty, one every thousand miles.
Once the Quanrong barbarians attack, the first sentry to be discovered immediately lights the Sirius beacon on the stage.
This Sirius beacon is originally a magic method. Once it is ignited, thick smoke from the Sirius magic will billow into the sky, and no matter how strong the wind is, it cannot be blown away.
And it can make the sound of a wolf howling at the moon, which can be heard thousands of miles away.
Then beacon towers thousands of miles away were lit one after another to alert the nearby princes.
When the princes saw the beacon fire and smoke, they knew that the capital of Zhou was in danger and that the emperor was in trouble. He had to raise troops to serve the king and come to his rescue.
King You of Zhou accepted the Taoist priest's suggestion and immediately took Bao Si, accompanied by the Taoist priest, to the Lishan beacon tower and ordered the guards to light the beacon.
For a time, smoke was everywhere, beacon fire was rising into the sky, and the sound of howling wolves shook the world.
When the princes from all over the country saw the flames of war, they thought that the dog-rong barbarians were invading, so they led their troops and horses to rush to the rescue.
Unexpectedly, when they arrived at the foot of Mount Li, there was not even a shadow of a barbarian soldier. They only heard the sound of music and singing on the mountain. It turned out that King You of Zhou and Bao Si were sitting on the stage drinking and having fun.
