Chapter 648: Zishou Goes to Worship and the Story of Conferred God Begins!
Qiong Xiao was quick to turn the spicy hot pot into the vegetable salad that Zhao Gongming hated the most, and then looked up at the sky with a look of surprise:
"Brother, why are you here?"
Zhao Gongming said:
"Your elder sister deduced that you built a city here, let me see...what are you eating?"
Qiong Xiao pretended to show off a piece of fried sweet potato fries:
"Vegetable salad, elder sister said that this is the healthiest. Although I am a god, I have to abide by it and can't eat it randomly...I just ate a few bites and I feel better."
The God of Wealth said speechlessly:
"Although what you said makes sense, why is your mouth full of red oil? And this strong spicy smell doesn't smell like a salad."
He snapped his fingers, and the salad in the pot immediately turned back into a spicy hot pot.
Qiong Xiao's acting skills are still very good:
"Wow, big brother, you are so great, you can actually turn into food, can you turn it into more, I love to eat!"
Zhao Gongming did not compete with this girl for food, but carefully checked the newly built city, adjusted the terrain, and dragged a low mountain range to block the northern part of the city, so as to block the wind and snow in winter.
In order to facilitate power generation, he built a huge reservoir on the mountain, which is connected to a nearby river. Whether it is power generation, irrigation, or drinking water, water can be taken from the reservoir.
Mu Guiying asked:
"Will the power generation equipment freeze in winter?"
Zhao Gongming thought about it and built a hot spring directly at the exit of the reservoir.
"Building the hydropower station at this location will not freeze no matter how cold it is in winter. You can also build a hot spring pipeline to directly let hot water enter thousands of households."
One hot spring is not enough, Zhao Gongming built several more hot springs inside and outside the city, so that the moat will not freeze in winter and can still play a role.
After finishing all these, he felt that this place was too poor, so he moved a gold mine from the Western world.
Although the whole city was empty, all kinds of hardware equipment were basically complete, and Mu Guiying expressed her gratitude again and again.
After Qiongxiao had eaten and drunk her fill, she saw that the city had no name yet, and she started thinking about naming it again:
"Guiying, does this city have a name?"
"Not yet."
Mu Guiying was just about to go to the real world to ask the Queen to give it a name, but when she noticed that Qiongxiao was eager to try, she quickly changed the subject:
"I'm worried about this, can sister Qiongxiao help me think of a good name?"
Qiongxiao said "reluctantly":
"I only know a little bit about naming, so I can only help you with some advice...I built this city, and my elder brother made some improvements, so how about taking one character from each of our names and calling it Qionggong City?"
Zhao Gongming was full of black lines:
"Second sister, do you plan to make all the people in the city poor? This name is not good."
"What is it called? Xiaoming City? This is not good either...Okay, I admit that I'm a bad namer, so why don't you let sister Zhou give it a name, and I can just carve it on the city gate."
Mu Guiying also thought it would be better to let Zhou Ruotong name it, after all, it would be conducive to family harmony.
She came to the real world and told Zhou Ruotong about Qiongxiao's city building, and hoped that Zhou Ruotong could give it a better name.
"Can it be done this way?"
Zhou Ruotong looked at the video shot by Mu Guiying, thought about it carefully and said:
"Let's call it Dingbei City. When we reach Lake Baikal in the future, the city over there will be called Zhenbei City. We can also build Zhengbei City to the north, and then build an Arctic City in the Arctic Circle."
After that, Zhou Ruotong came to the study, picked up a brush, and wrote the three big characters [Dingbei City] in official script. After drying, she handed it to Mu Guiying:
"Take it to Qiongxiao to engrave the words. The cold drink cabinet and other things she wants will be delivered soon. Don't worry."
"Oh, okay, Sister Zhou, I'll come and get it later."
After Mu Guiying left, Zhou Ruotong took a signature pen to the world map hanging on the wall, drew a circle near Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, and wrote the three words Dingbei City in it.
Then she took some snacks to the statue in the scenic area, and watched the specific situation of Dingbei City through the broadcast of the empress.
The Journey to the West world changed the Liusha River, which is estimated to make Tiandao uncomfortable for a while, and the Dingbei City created out of thin air in the Yang Family Mansion World will make Tiandao worse.
I don’t know if Tiandao will overturn the table and fight to the death if it continues like this.
The empress said while eating the snacks given by her daughter-in-law:
"Hongjun is not of this character. It is highly likely that he will not fight to the death. Instead, he will find a way to make all the saints become Dao and fight against Dao Ge together."
When Zhunti intercepted the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi before, the empress calculated that Yuanshi and Zhunti would have a conflict in a year, and Yuanshi also said that he would take back the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi in a year.
Now it seems that Tiandao will most likely force the two to fight, or even three saints to fight.
The fall of the saints and the return of the power of heaven and earth to Tiandao are actually equivalent to becoming Dao, but one is active and the other is passive.
Anyway, whether it is the Dao or the Fall, it will eventually strengthen the authority of the Heavenly Dao.
After leaving the scenic area, Li Yu had bought all the things that Qiong Xiao wanted, filling a large car. In addition, Li Yu also bought some cute plush toys for Qiong Xiao, such as Peppa Pig, Mickey Mouse, Brown Bear, etc.
After Mu Guiying came over, she transported all the things in this car away, making Xiaoxiao Internet Cafe closer to the Internet Cafe in the real world.
As soon as she left, Xuanzang came here and sent up the well salt made by Li Ke, and also said that there was a need for packaging bags over there.
Li Yu called the food factory and asked them to process 100 million salt packaging bags. In addition, they also needed matching woven bags, corrugated boxes, etc.
Unfortunately, the world in the book cannot produce plastics now, and the use of petrochemicals is almost zero. Otherwise, there would be no need to go through so much trouble and just let the world in the book process it.
After hanging up the phone, Li Yu asked Xuanzang:
"Is there any difference from arriving at Xiniuhezhou from Nanzhanbuzhou?"
Xuanzang shook his head:
"I don't feel anything, but Wukong always feels that the demonic energy in the air is too strong. When we stopped on the road to rest just now, my cassock automatically glowed and purified some lonely ghosts around."
If the cassock can take the initiative to attack, it is estimated that even if it is not the White Bone Demon, it is not far away.
The original book describes the crossing of the two continents in great detail. The Quicksand River is the level, and it is very difficult to cross it.
Wukong couldn't carry Xuanzang across, and the ferry couldn't float. In the end, they had to use the heads of Tang Seng's previous nine lives and magic weapons to cross the continent.
It symbolizes that if you want to cross the continent, you have to go through nine deaths.
When in the Southern Continent, although Tang Seng was pedantic, he was still relatively sensible. He listened to all the principles of Wukong. When he encountered dangerous mountains and bad waters, he was more alert than Wukong.
But when he arrived in the Western Continent, Tang Seng obviously became unable to distinguish between loyalty and treachery. He believed in Bajie's slander and misunderstood Wukong many times. Bajie also began to envy and hate Wukong from the good brotherhood in the Southern Continent, so that many disasters that could have been avoided occurred.
Now Wukong just set foot on the territory of the Western Continent and said the reason:
"The evil spirit has become strong!"
When the evil spirit is strong, the justice and morality of people's hearts will become thin, all kinds of desires and negative emotions will be magnified, and even Wukong himself will become more and more angry.
From the perspective of life philosophy, the team of pilgrims in Nanzhanbuzhou is a "human" in the social sense, bound by moral laws, and in Xiniuhezhou, everyone is closer to the self, so everyone becomes greedy, angry and ignorant.
After the catastrophe is over, abandon the self and give up desires, you can achieve the sublimation of the realm, climb Lingshan, and reach the paradise.
Li Yu reminded Xuanzang:
"Pay attention to your emotions, don't be led astray by the environment, and it should be much better after your household registration is completed."
Xuanzang hurriedly bowed:
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Xuanzang still had to hurry on his way, and didn't stay too long.
Before leaving, he deliberately took the thickened tent and sleeping bag in the warehouse.
The weather over there was getting colder and colder, and he had to keep warm to avoid catching a cold at night.
After seeing Xuanzang off, Li Yu saw Zhou Ruotong coming back from the scenic spot and asked curiously:
"What did you do at the scenic spot?"
"I looked at the city that Qiongxiao built for Guiying. Where there are gods, productivity has changed... There is no Mongolian capital in the world where Guiying lives. Now there is only Dingbei City."
Li Yu smiled and said:
"It's good that it's gone. This kind of place where Nazis are rampant should not exist."
Zhou Ruotong said in a teasing tone:
"Little comrade, what you said is not conducive to unity. Didn't the author of "Wolf Totem" say that the Han nationality can be passed down and stand firm thanks to the Mongols who kept harassing the south."
Li Yu pinched the mung bean cake and took a bite:
"I get angry when I mention this book. To what extent do your values have to be distorted to write such nonsense?"
Our ancestors drove away the Mongols who harassed the south again and again. Shouldn't we thank our ancestors for fighting bloody battles and expelling the Tartars? What's your brain circuit for thanking the Tartars?
Just like being bitten by a dog, a normal person would thank his own strong immunity, the medical staff for timely treatment, and the modern medical system.
You call for people to kowtow to the mad dog that bit people, thank it for not biting you to death, is this what a human being does?
According to the saying that the Han Dynasty should thank Mongolia for its survival, then the founding of New China should not thank the Japanese devils? Shouldn't it thank the four major families of the Republic of China for monopolizing the country? Thank the Kwantung Army for burning, killing, looting and committing all kinds of evil in the Northeast?
Li Yu ate two snacks and asked Zhou Ruotong:
"What are you going to eat tonight? I'll cook it later."
Zhou Ruotong said:
"It's all right. You have free time these days. Can you find an open space and build a super large cold storage? I plan to ask Xiaoying to buy more beef for us to improve the living standards of the soldiers."
Li Yu originally wanted to say that the cold storage could be built on the mountain, but there were enough things in the homestay, and it would be more ostentatious to put them all here.
He planned to move to a more remote place, which would not be so conspicuous, and it would also be convenient for large vehicles to enter and exit.
The only place that meets this condition seems to be the industrial park planned near the town's highway exit.
Unfortunately, the current investment promotion project has not been very successful, and not many companies have settled in. The built industrial park is no different from being abandoned.
Li Yu plans to find Wen Jing's father Wen Kaifang to see if he can take over the entire park and transform it into a cold storage. He usually uses the purchase of fruits as a cover to stockpile a large amount of meat to supply the world in the book.
Of course, when the breeding industry in the world of the book develops, it may feed back to the real world.
Li Yu asked:
"The 100 tons of beef that Gu Ying sent last time has not arrived yet. Have you found a source of supply now?"
"Yes, her fiancé has a relationship with the top executives of the Argentine export industry. He can send us 1,000 tons of beef every month, but it is all the lowest grade grass-fed beef, not even M3."
Li Yu doesn't care about the grade. As long as it's beef, even the lowest grade, he can stew it until it's soft and tasty, making people drool from a distance.
"Will this affect the pattern of the import and export industry?"
Zhou Ruotong took Li Yu's arm and said:
"Don't worry, our country imports 3 million tons of beef every year, and we don't even have a fraction of this. To be honest, our gold has less impact on the domestic gold price."
In this case, Li Yu put his mind at ease and prepared to take a piece of land in the industrial park to build one or more super-large cold storages specifically for storing various meats.
No matter what time, if you want to be healthy, you have to eat more meat.
In the evening, Li Yu cooked a pot of hot and sour soup with a lot of shrimp meat, and made a sweet and sour shrimp slices for the little girl.
She will end her vacation tomorrow and go to school, so she should eat as much good food as possible.
As soon as the meal started, Mu Guiying came in excitedly:
"Haha, we have officially moved into Dingbei City. The God of Wealth is very considerate. He has paved all the roads inside. He also made functional divisions based on the game "SimCity". The planning is very reasonable."
Li Yu looked at the bird's-eye view of the city on her mobile phone. There are industrial areas, military garrisons, citizen activity centers, educational institutions, parks, etc., and even a place for a train station is reserved.
It should be said that the design concept of the brother-in-law is quite advanced, but I don't know when the train tracks can be laid.
Mu Guiying filled a small bowl of hot and sour soup, broke the sesame cakes into pieces and soaked them in it, then added two small spoons of chili oil and a little old vinegar. Just as she was about to eat, she saw a sneaky figure at the door of the restaurant:
"Little Taizong, what are you doing sneaking around?!"
Li Shimin walked in wearing Crocs, looked around, and then said:
"I'm worried that the elders haven't left yet, so I dare not come in rashly."
Zhou Ruotong said:
"Come in when you should, don't worry about anything, wash your hands and eat, you should like today's hot and sour soup."
Li Shimin nodded, washed his hands, filled himself a large bowl of hot and sour soup, sat down, first took a sip of the hot and sour soup from the bowl that was bigger than his head, and then took a bite of the sesame cake. He reported the situation in the Sui and Tang Dynasties:
"The tap water project in Jinyang is almost finished. Many people have already had tap water and are grateful to us. Many villages outside the city have dug wells again. The whole Taiyuan County is thriving."
Li Yu asked:
"You made such a big fuss, but there was no reaction from the court?"
Li Shimin took a piece of potato and meat and ate it with chopsticks, and said with a smile:
"Before the news of the fall of Jinyang reached Chang'an, King Yang Su of Yue was assassinated in his mansion by Qiu Ran Ke. It is said that the ground of the whole Yuewang Mansion was written with blood, such as Yang Guang's immorality. After some analysis, Han Qinhu thought that the murderer should be from Jinyang, so he volunteered to go to Jinyang to investigate the case."
Li Yu: ??? ??? ??? ??? ???
Is this old guy trying to sneak away from the court and get to Jinyang?
However, it should be said that the relationship between our side and Han Qinhu is indeed deep enough. The Wu Yunzhao brothers were let go by Han Qinhu, and his nephew Li Jing has become the second person in Fengming Village.
Such an old general is indeed worth winning over.
Li Shimin continued:
"After General Han asked for a fight, General Qiu Rui also stood up and said that he would go together to try to catch the murderer as soon as possible and comfort the spirit of King Yue in heaven."
Good guy, another one who wants to run away.
Li Yu said:
"Their families must not be left in the city, we must find a way to take them all away."
"Don't worry, sir. When Wang Junke went to deliver the letter, he had already made an appointment with them. Now that the old generals want to leave, they can just disguise themselves as personal soldiers and take them away. The families will not be detained again."
Zhou Ruotong asked:
"Will Chang'an suspect anything?"
"They can't take care of it, because the bearded guest left a message in Yang Su's yard, saying that he would go back to his hometown to do something, and come to Chang'an in a month to take Yang Guang's head. Yang Guang is eager for someone to volunteer to investigate the case."
Damn, the bearded guest is really awesome. He actually came up with such a trick. In the next month, entering and leaving Chang'an City will become very strict, and the focus of the court will also be on how to guard against assassins. This will invisibly divert the court's attention and give Jinyang more time to develop.
A master is a master. Just a few words can make the entire court nervous.
After dinner, Li Yu played games for a while, and then played two rounds of badminton with Diao Chan, and then went upstairs to take a shower, ready to watch a movie and rest.
On the other side, in the world of Fengshen, it was the fifteenth day of the third lunar month.
Zishou set up the ceremonial guard and led the civil and military officials to the Wahuang Temple in the city to worship the goddess.
In the original book, it was at this point that he was fascinated by a strange wind, and then began a 28-year career of stupidity until he burned himself to death, ending the Shang Dynasty.
Now he burned incense again, but he did not go to the Nuwa Temple thirty miles outside the city, but chose the newly built Wahuang Temple in the city to pray for good weather, peace and prosperity.
Shang Rong guided Zishou to burn incense, and just halfway through the ceremony, a strange wind blew in.
But before it blew to Zishou, the wind was fixed. Du'e Zhenren, who had just been lured to Chaoge by Yang Jian, held the wind-fixing beads and began to control the situation.
The strange wind struggled for a while, trying to break free from the restraints of the Wind-Fixing Beads. Just as it was about to disturb Zishou's mind, twenty-four Sea-Fixing Beads flashed at the same time above the Wahuang Temple, fixing the strange wind firmly.
Soon, Kong Xuan, Yuyixian, Jinling Shengmu, Guiling Shengmu, Yunxiao and others appeared one after another. When Zishou was worshipping, everyone took turns to fight the strange wind.
Finally, when the ceremony was over, Zishou returned to the palace, and the strange wind disappeared.
Yunxiao bowed to the statue:
"Mom, that strange wind is..."
"A clone of Zhunti, who wanted to make trouble, but failed in the end."
Of course, the queen had already made arrangements for Zishou, so even if the strange wind blew on Zishou, nothing would happen.
After confirming that the strange wind had dissipated, Zhao Gongming put away the Dinghai Pearl and said with emotion:
"The story of the Conferred God has officially begun!"

Tomorrow is the double monthly ticket, everyone stay one more day, thank you very much, 10,000 words have been sent, I hope you enjoy it.
