Chapter 697 King Jinjiao and King Yinjiao, Have They Been Replaced? [Monthly Vote Requested]
In the real world, Li Yu returned to the B&B and saw Mu Guiying and Zhou Ruotong playing badminton. He ran over to join in the fun, but was abused by the two in turn.
"Hahaha, I haven't used any strength yet, why did you fall down, my husband?"
Mu Guiying waved her racket and said the famous lines from "The Sequel to Journey to the West" very proudly.
But when Zhou Ruotong went to drink water, the girl hurriedly said:
"Sister Zhou asked me to abuse you. As a concubine with no status, I naturally have to listen to the main wife, otherwise I will be punished to kneel on the washboard."
Li Yu took off his coat and continued to play with her in a sweatshirt.
When he was sweating, he washed his face and went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.
Today's dinner is relatively simple. Heat up the leftovers from lunch, stir-fry the rice that was not finished at noon, and make a cucumber egg drop soup, and that's it.
Yunxiao came back during dinner and said as soon as he entered the restaurant:
"Tuxingsun stole the Six Soul Banner of Chang'er Dingguangxian and was about to take Deng Chanyu away from Chaoge, but was killed by Yang Jian, and the Six Soul Banner was also snatched away by Master Xuandu."
Zhou Ruotong asked:
"Is anyone injured in Chaoge?"
"No, because we were not sure whether Zhunti was ambushing in secret, so both sides were very restrained."
Li Yu served Yunxiao a bowl of fried rice:
"After killing Tuxingsun, Yang Jian didn't have any psychological problems, right?"
Fighting with his former fellow apprentice, if Yang Jian had any knot in his heart, he had to find a way to smooth it out.
Yunxiao said:
"Emperor Xuanyuan invited Yang Jian to stay in Huoyun Cave for a while, saying that he wanted to teach him some Taoist methods, but the main purpose was to enlighten Yang Jian... It is said that emperors are ruthless, but Emperor Xuanyuan has always been concerned about the human race and personally comforted Yang Jian, which is really surprising."
Li Yu thought this was normal:
"Emperors are ruthless only during their reign. They are still very concerned about their descendants. Besides, Yang Jian is a rare young talent in the human race, so it is normal for him to be favored."
A handsome and talented human descendant who has been cleaning the Sage Hall for so long, which sage does not like such young people.
After dinner, Yunxiao continued to return to the world in the book to cure diseases and save people, and before leaving, he also brought two bags of nougat to Changsun Wugou.
Mu Guiying also had to go back to deal with the affairs in the village, and asked Zhang Daoling to help quickly build the Ditiao Steel Plant to reserve some steel for the upcoming Mu Ke City.
Li Yu and Zhou Ruotong brought some food and drinks to the scenic spot and placed them in front of the statues of the two mothers.
The old mother praised her son's craftsmanship and then said:
"Tu Xingsun died, Chang Er Dingguangxian also lost the Six Soul Banner, and the Jiejiao and the Chanjiao almost broke out in a war."
Li Yu was a little confused:
"What is Haotian doing this for? Isn't the Conferred God to find helpers for him? Why does he seem to be resisting?"
The queen smiled and said:
"It's not resistance, but I think the timing is not right. After the Conferred God is over, the Jiejiao is no longer a concern, but the core of the Chanjiao has joined Lingshan, and some of the remaining gods and immortals also have a transcendent status... After the Conferred God world is restarted, Haotian hopes that all the people of the Jiejiao and the Chanjiao will die, so that his authority will be more solid."
According to the setting of "The Romance of the Conferred Gods", if you die and are on the list, it is equivalent to becoming a puppet of the Heavenly Court, a permanent worker of the Heavenly Court, and completely losing your own will.
And those who escaped the great catastrophe of the Conferred God are more free to do whatever they want.
For example, Yang Jian can openly oppose his uncle Haotian and obey orders but not proclamations. Haotian, the Jade Emperor, feels helpless in the face of this nephew who has achieved sainthood in the flesh.
Use restrictions such as merits? He is stationed in Guanjiangkou, enjoying endless merits, and even has thousands of private soldiers, each of whom is at the level of a demon king.
Use peaches to threaten? Sorry, people who have achieved sainthood in the flesh do not need to avoid the three disasters or face disasters.
And even if they face disasters, they can easily get through them with so much merit.
The so-called invincible person is Yang Jian, who has no weaknesses, is relatively strong, and has a group of loyal subordinates... Even if you want to control him, you can't do it at all.
Hou Tu Niangniang took a sip of the fragrant chestnut hot drink and said:
"If all the immortals died during the Conferred Gods, Haotian's authority would increase greatly and be infinitely close to the Heavenly Dao. At that time, even the saints would not be his opponents."
Li Yu felt that the level of the immortals in the Conferred Gods world was similar to the professional title examination in the real world.
Everyone was busy taking the professional title examination, preparing to increase their allowances and benefits, and increase their voice. Haotian couldn't beat everyone, so he took a different approach and took the administrative route.
You are a senior engineer and you are not afraid of me as the workshop director, but what if I am promoted to the factory director? Can you still rely on your title to take advantage of your seniority and continue to show off?
It should be said that this way of playing to one's strengths and avoiding weaknesses can also be regarded as a way to delay the transformation of the Dao.
But in this way, it is contrary to one's own goal. Li Yu thought about it and decided to find a way to complete the Conferred Gods as soon as possible, and everything should be based on the interests of the human race.
It is estimated that there will be more and more conflicts with Haotian in the future. On the contrary, Yuanshi Tianzun is likely to have already laid flat.
Because no matter what choice he makes, the Chan Sect has become a fish on the chopping board, either being dealt with by the Heavenly Court or being avenged by the Jie Sect.
As for Yuanshi Tianzun himself, he should not be able to take care of the Chan Sect now, as his mind is full of strengthening the Heavenly Dao... Not only does he have to become a Daoist himself, but he also has to find a way to get Zhunti and Nuwa to become Daoists together.
Only when all the six saints become Daoists can the shortcomings of the Heavenly Dao be made up.
Li Yu reminded:
"Mom, don't go out recently. If you are bored, I will download some movies and TV series and business games for you to kill time."
In the past, I always laughed at my mother for being a homebody, but now Li Yu hopes that my mother will stay at home in the Wa Palace to avoid being attacked.
The queen said unhappily:
"I am not unable to move. Zhunti and Yuanshi cannot use their full strength. Even if they come together, I am not afraid. You just need to take good care of Tongtong, and don't worry about our adults' affairs."
But no matter what she said, the smile on the corner of the old mother's mouth could not be suppressed at all.
The good son cared so much that she wanted to show off her baby son directly in the three realms.
It was dark when they left the scenic area. Zhou Ruotong came to the study and handed the PS5 controller to Li Yu:
"Come, play a game with me."
Li Yu: ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
No, you, Professor Zhou with thick eyebrows and big eyes, how come you also fell into depravity?
Zhou Ruotong said:
"Today, I finally have some free time. I also want to experience the fun of the game, so that I won't have no common language with you in the future... Do you think there will be a blowout in domestic games in the future?"
Li Yu took the handle and started the game console:
"Blowout is certain. After all, making money from foreign devils is a great thing, but the quality is hard to say. After all, when something becomes popular, all kinds of monsters will show up."
When "The Wandering Earth 1" was popular, countless people shouted that the first year of domestic science fiction had arrived, but "Shanghai Fortress" brought everyone's science fiction dream back to its original form.
"The Wandering Earth 2" allowed countless people to see the exciting scenes, and many people talked about opening a new era of science fiction, but a bunch of "749 Bureaus" once again poured cold water on everyone.
Now that Black Myth is popular, all kinds of monsters who don't play games at all will definitely jump out to show their bottom line.
Li Yu chose a relatively casual two-player game and played it with Tong Baobao for nearly two hours.
At the end, Professor Zhou flipped through the calendar and asked:
"Is your household registration in Yinzhou?"
"In the provincial capital, wife, are you going to get a marriage certificate with me?"
Zhou Ruotong nodded:
"Get the certificate before New Year's Day, and take you to live in my new house... After getting the certificate, I will apply for your household registration transfer and see what procedures are required."
Li Yu didn't expect to get the certificate right away:
"Isn't this too hasty?"
The confession went smoothly, and the marriage certificate went smoothly again. The twists and turns in the romance novels did not appear at all, which made Li Yu feel unreal.
Zhou Ruotong took his hand and said:
"Are you going to refuse me three times?"
"No, no, no, I just feel that it is so easy to get the beauty, I can't believe it... On the day of getting the marriage certificate, I will post a circle of friends to show off that I am married to a goddess, let them envy it on the public screen."
Li Yu sent a message to his mother Zhang Ping, telling her that he would go to Beijing to get the marriage certificate in the near future, and asked her to prepare the household registration book.
Zhang Ping called directly:
"Son, are you going to get the marriage certificate? I will quickly prepare the wedding house with your father. When are you going to hold the wedding ceremony? We will notify relatives and friends in advance."
Li Yu said:
"There is no rush for the wedding house. The wedding will be put off until May Day next year."
He wanted his mother to send the household registration book, but Zhang Ping thought that the household registration book was too important. If it was lost, she would have to reissue it, so she planned to send it to Yinzhou in person.
After the mother and son had been shirking their responsibilities, Li Yu finally gave in:
"Let's go to the provincial capital tomorrow and bring you some persimmons from my hometown. I picked a lot of them last time when I attended the full moon banquet, but they are not ripe yet."
The persimmons picked in advance need to be kept together with apples and pears to make them soft and sweet. However, Li Yu did not understand these things and was not very interested in persimmons. He just regarded them as decorations.
Mom asked:
"Are you sure you want to come tomorrow? Then I will take a leave tomorrow morning and go to the vegetable market early to buy some vegetables that Tongtong likes to make delicious food for you."
After hanging up the phone, Li Yu looked at Zhou Ruotong and found that the beautiful woman was sending a message to Pang Donghai to ask for leave.
Okay, let's drive to the provincial capital tomorrow to see the Shitouzhai Mountain Resort designed by my father.
At 10 o'clock in the evening, the couple finished washing up. Zhou Ruotong was just about to do some yoga before bed when she was carried to the bed by Li.
"Wife, one year ago today, you came to the B&B for the first time to eat. Have you ever thought about becoming the hostess here?"
"No, I felt at the time that people who built B&Bs in such places had no investment experience at all, but you have good skills, I like it very much."
Li Yu raised his hand to turn off the ceiling light in the bedroom.
On the other side, the world of Journey to the West.
It has been a while since the master and his disciples left Baoxiang Kingdom. They have hardly stopped in the middle and have been on the road.
Every time they arrived at a new place, Wukong would summon the mountain god and ask if there were any monsters in the local area. If there were, they would kill them all.
He and the black bear demon had eliminated seven or eight big monsters during this period, and all the corpses were transported to the military camp to improve the lives of the soldiers of the Western Expedition Army.
Xuan Zang wore a Jinlan cassock and chanted scriptures while he was on the road. With the cassock, the wronged ghosts and monsters in a radius of 100 miles disappeared without knowing what was going on.
"Master, you killed again!"
Sensing that an evil ghost was liberated dozens of miles away, Wukong smiled and joked with Xuanzang.
Xuanzang said calmly:
"Cultivation focuses on cultivating the mind. If there are obsessions in the mind, just get rid of them. If the obsessions are those cannibalistic monsters, you should get rid of them... If there is a need in the future, I don't mind breaking the prohibition on killing."
Wukong: "..."
Master, if you continue to do this, our Buddhist scripture collecting team will turn into a Buddhist scripture collecting club.
The black bear spirit asked:
"It's not far from Pingding Mountain, right?"
Wukong joked with him:
"What? Are you going to buy some coal and transport it to Datong to sell?"
The black bear spirit took out his white jade porcelain bottle from his arms and poured himself a lot of spiritual liquid:
"Senior brother, there is only half of the spiritual liquid left. Can you make some more?"
He used to drink mountain spring water, but Wukong felt that he had no cards, so he sneaked back to the heaven and got this guy a lot of spiritual liquid from the Peach Garden to water the peach trees.
This was great, he was addicted to the black bear semen, and would drink it every now and then, so that within a short time, he was half-created.
Wukong said:
"Next time Xiaoerlang comes over, I'll let him steal it."
After walking forward for a while, the master and disciples saw a mountain with a relatively flat top.
You know without asking that Pingdingshan has arrived.
The Golden Horn King and Silver Horn King in Lotus Cave in Pingding Mountain is not the strongest opponent Wukong has ever encountered, but he has the most magic weapons.
The two of them were fully equipped with equipment and had endless methods, but in the end, Wukong cracked them one by one.
Now that these disasters are gone, Wukong feels like he has nowhere to use all his strength.
Black Bear Spirit said:
"Pingdingshan is right in front of us, how can we trigger the disaster next?"
Xuanzang adjusted his monk's clothes and said:
"Don't be anxious, Wu Ming. I believe Laojun has made proper arrangements... When we get to the foot of the mountain, let's take a rest first and make long-term plans."
The master and disciples continued to walk forward and came to the foot of the mountain. Xuanzang started cooking noodles on the cassette stove. Wukong flew around the mountain and confirmed the location of the Lotus Cave. Just when he was about to find a place to hide, he saw The two spirits came out of the Lotus Cave and rushed towards Xuanzang who was cooking noodles.
Let me go, why didn't these two guys follow the script... Wukong took out the golden cudgel from his ear, flew over quickly, and was ready to intercept.
Wukong landed in front of Xuanzang, and the two murderous monsters immediately turned into two boys with double buns. One was holding a golden rope, and the other was holding a pill:
"Yin Hong and Yin Jiao of Bajing Palace pay their respects to the Great Sage!"
Wukong was stunned for a moment, then became happy:
"Are you the two brothers Yin Hong and Yin Jiao taken in by Archmage Xuandu?"
"It's us. Laojun asked our brothers to deliver things to the Great Sage. He also said that as long as we respond to the disaster, the disaster over Fengshen will disappear."
The two of them were destined to suffer disaster from heaven. Even if they hid in the Bajing Palace, disaster would still be inevitable.
But after some manipulation by Laojun, he asked the two brothers to station at the Lotus Cave instead of the two fanning boys. This would not only make him look familiar in front of Wukong, but also eliminate his own disaster from heaven.
Wukong asked in a routine manner:
"Have you ever harmed the local people while you were here?"
Yin Jiao shook his head:
"No, there is actually a nest of vixens here, and they have been beaten to death by our brothers."
Vixen?
Wukong was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that they were the mothers of the Golden Horn King and the Silver Horn King, such as Dragon Immortal and Fox Ah Qi, who were beaten to death by him in the original work.
Unexpectedly, the Golden Horn King and the Silver Horn King are gone now, and even their mother has been eliminated, which saves the scripture collection team a lot of trouble.
He took the golden rope. As soon as he took it into his hand, the golden rope spread out automatically and turned into silk threads wrapped around Wukong's belt.
In the future, as long as he throws out his belt, he can quickly tie up the enemy, which is very practical.
Then Wukong took the elixir from Yin Jiao's hand.
"This elixir was refined by Laojun himself. If you eat it, you can gain the power of carrying mountains and seas. I hope the Great Sage will accept it."
When he was wreaking havoc in the Heavenly Palace, Wukong had taken various elixirs, but never one that directly increased his strength.
He pinched the elixir and threw it into his mouth. The elixir instantly dissolved and entered directly into his limbs and bones, and then he couldn't feel it anymore.
The black bear spirit looked left and right:
"That's it? Senior brother, have you become stronger?"
Wukong grabbed the golden hoop and tried it. He felt that the golden hoop was a little light. In the past, he held it like an ordinary person holding a steel pipe, but now, it is as light as playing with a bamboo pole.
He felt that the golden hoop test was inaccurate, so he directly moved the entire mountain and said to the black bear spirit:
"My strength is indeed greater. I can lift this mountain into the air with one hand... If I smash it down, will it have the effect of a meteorite impact?"
The black bear spirit was afraid that he was serious, so he quickly said:
"Senior brother, you'd better use your magical powers. This will hurt the people, and His Royal Highness the Holy Son will blame you."
Wukong put the entire Pingding Mountain back to its original place and asked the two brothers Yin Hong and Yin Jiao:
"Where is Master Xuandu?"
"To the great sage, the master is in the Western world and has never returned."
Wukong smiled and said:
"In the past, Grand Master Xuandu was not allowed to go out under Lao Jun's supervision. Now that you two are pestering Lao Jun, he is now free... If he comes back one day, remember to say hello to me, Lao Sun."
After saying that, Wukong opened the cloth bag on his waist and took out ten boxes of cans, ten boxes of bananas, ten boxes of red Fuji apples, ten boxes of imperial concubine oranges, as well as food and supplies such as self-heating hot pot, and his mind was full. To the two brothers:
"Bring it to Bajing Palace and thank Laojun on my behalf."
"Thank you, Great Sage, for the reward!"
A disaster turned into a cultural exchange. Yin Hong and Yin Jiao even tasted the noodles cooked by Xuanzang before leaving.
As soon as the brothers left, Xuanzang hurried to the real world and prepared to report the latest situation to Li Yu...
