Chapter 112 Jiang Ziya Fishing at Panxi, the Prelude to the Investiture of the Gods Begins
Yang Jiao hurriedly said to Yun Zhongzi:
"He has a name."
Yun Zhongzi became interested:
"Oh? What's your name?"
Yang Jiao stepped forward with a smile, teased Lei Zhenzi's face, and spoke earnestly:
"His name is Nai... Pshaw!"
"His name is Lei Zhenzi. He is the newly adopted son of the Marquis of Xibo. However, since the Marquis's future in Chaoge is uncertain, he cannot take him with him."
Yun Zhongzi, being one of the Twelve Golden Immortals and also knowledgeable about the Investiture of the Gods, said knowingly:
“Since he is the adopted son of the Marquis of Xibo, he is also worthy of being my disciple. I will accept him.”
Yang Jiao looked at the Taoist priest in front of her with immense gratitude.
Otherwise, you have to take it home.
Erlang, he'll probably cry, won't he?
Yun Zhongzi picked up Lei Zhenzi and flew up into the clouds. From above, he threw a pirated version of Laozi's Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda at Yang Jiao, saying:
"This is a magical artifact that I crafted myself. It's not very useful, but it's still convenient for hitting people. Young friend, take it and play with it."
Yang Jiao opened her arms and caught the replica tower.
His lips twitched.
In the future, don't make copies of the Pangu Banner. If you actually manage to summon the Heavenly Thunder, even your master will be surprised!
After bidding farewell to Yun Zhongzi, who had a penchant for crafting pirated magical artifacts, he said goodbye.
Yang Jiao and Mosquito Taoist didn't dare to delay and sped towards Panxi.
Not far from Yanshan, on the road, we spotted Shen Gongbao.
Because of this delay, Shen Gongbao had already gotten ahead of him.
Yang Jiao did not show herself, but instead, while secretly observing from behind with Mosquito Daoist, she took the opportunity to give him a heads-up:
"If that stuttering Taoist tries to hurt Jiang Ziya later, slap him on the back of the head again!"
"I know!"
Mosquito Taoist gave Yang Jiao a reassuring look.
The two men then stared intently at Shen Gongbao.
Riding on the black leopard, Shen Gongbao headed straight for the cave on the cliff.
Having just landed, he looked at the person meditating and called out in a deep voice:
"Senior brother, there's someone...someone..."
Jiang Ziya opened his eyes and calmly watched Shen Gongbao finish speaking.
The more anxious Shen Gongbao became, the less he could explain himself.
He could only guess and ask:
"Someone's coming to kill me?"
Shen Gongbao nodded and then shook his head.
"Is someone coming to see me?"
Shen Gongbao nodded.
In truth, he couldn't quite explain what the two people's purpose was, but judging from the woman's actions, her cultivation level was definitely several levels above his own.
He was just jealous that Jiang Ziya had the Investiture of the Gods; he didn't really want him to die.
Jiang Ziya stroked his beard, unable to guess who was looking for him, but still wanted to give his junior brother a few words of advice:
"It's not important that you're looking for me, it's you."
“I have told you before that King Zhou is cruel and bewitched by Daji. Assisting him is a mistake. Why don’t you join me in choosing a wise ruler?”
Shen Gongbao clenched his teeth:
“Scheming…the Chan Sect…I want, I want the Master…”
Jiang Ziya sighed and said:
"Are you going to stay in Chaoge because several parties are plotting against us?"
Shen Gongbao's face was ashen:
"You...don't understand!"
All talk of righteousness and the common people is false!
It's just a pretext that the Heavenly Court needs manpower!
We are all just pawns in a game of calculation by several parties!
Shen Gongbao disliked Jiang Ziya for not fighting. Since he didn't fight and didn't seek the best path for his own side, why didn't he give the Investiture of the Gods to his senior brother instead?
Seeing that his junior brother had stopped speaking, Jiang Ziya was very annoyed:
"Or are you really going to disobey your master's orders?!"
Although Shen Gongbao stuttered, his thoughts were more profound than Jiang Ziya's. He said:
"To assist...without disobeying...by betraying."
The idea that he assisted King Zhou was the original one.
It was only after Yin Shou ignored the advice that Jiang Ziya gave up on the idea of choosing another wise ruler for the Yin Shang dynasty.
Moreover, Shen Gongbao is more capable than Jiang Ziya of obtaining the Investiture of the Gods!
Looking at Shen Gongbao, Jiang Ziya felt utterly powerless. He grabbed Shen Gongbao's hand and tried to drag him away from Chaoge.
"Come with me, and don't go back to Chaoge!"
Shen Gongbao had already established himself in Chaoge and had also made contact with Daji, so how could he possibly give up his plans?
If my senior brother is unable to uphold the Investiture of the Gods and causes all the disciples of the Chan Sect to be trapped in the Investiture of the Gods calamity, it would be better to hand over the Investiture of the Gods to myself!
His face also looked unpleasant.
Although Shen Gongbao's cultivation level wasn't particularly high, he was still an Earth Immortal, unlike Jiang Ziya, who was still in the process of refining his spirit and returning to emptiness.
He gave it a gentle push.
He then pushed Jiang Ziya away.
This scene,
This happened to fall into the eyes of Mosquito Taoist and Yang Jiao later on.
I only saw a flash in her eyes!
His eyes shone brightly.
Wow, it's time to get things done and earn some money!
This person pushed away the person Yang Jiao was looking for.
Mosquito Taoist swooped down and slapped Shen Gongbao on the back of the head while he was still stammering "you you you".
With a thud, he was slapped onto the stone wall and made to lie face down.
Shen Gongbao's mount, the black panther, glanced at it and roared.
Even the fair-minded Mosquito Taoist slapped it.
The master and servant were pressed against the stone wall, deeply embedded within it.
Upon seeing this, Jiang Ziya took out a peach wood sword to protect himself. Although it didn't hit the back of his head, he clearly felt the strong wind from the palm.
If Yang Jiao hadn't stepped out from behind the girl, Jiang Ziya would have already charged forward with the pirated sword given to him by Yun Zhongzi.
He hurriedly asked:
"Is my junior brother alright?"
People were trapped inside the rock wall.
Yang Jiao thought about it and thought, "It shouldn't be a big problem, right?"
After all, he had already been slapped once.
To put my mind at ease, I still asked the Mosquito Taoist:
"Is the stuttering Taoist alright?"
Mosquito Taoist felt that something was wrong...
Why should I be held responsible when I'm just following orders?
He immediately raised his palm to show them and said:
"Look, my hands aren't even red, and he woke up in no time."
Relieved, Jiang Ziya sheathed his peach wood sword, breathed a sigh of relief, and only after calming down did he turn his attention to Yang Jiao, asking:
"Young friend, what brings you here?"
Yang Jiao bowed and said:
"We've come to escort the Taoist priest to the place he wishes to go."
The place he wanted to go... Jiang Ziya had been hiding in the cave from his pursuers for a long time, and after leaving Chaoge, he didn't know which camp to go to.
Therefore, I originally planned to find a quiet place to carefully consider the future before taking action.
But now my young friend Yang Jiao suddenly said this.
Jiang Ziya pondered for a moment, and indeed found a place to go, so he said:
"Northwest of Xiqi City, there is a stream with rocks, its rapids are swift and deep, and people also call it Panxi. I am interested in going there."
Yang Jiao patted the cargo bed while pedaling the tricycle, indicating:
"Come on up, Taoist priest, I'll take you there."
Looking at the small cargo bed, Jiang Ziya thought he probably wouldn't be able to fit inside, and was about to say that he could still fly...
But how could Mosquito Taoist, as Yang Jiao's top bodyguard, bear to see anyone refute or decline his benefactor?
He casually mentioned that Jiang Ziya was placed in the back of the carriage.
Looking at the fully occupied truck bed with no spare space, she felt wronged.
"As expected, mosquitoes don't like ginger; he took my spot..."
The mosquito Taoist, who could only fly, silently blamed Jiang Ziya, the stuttering Taoist priest, and the big black leopard that roared at him!
This place is very close to Xiqi.
In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the group had already arrived at Panxi.
This place, nestled between the Qinling Mountains to the south and overlooking the Wei River to the north, is a picturesque and pleasant place.
Jiang Ziya looked around and found a rock in the stream to sit down.
He took out the fishing rod that Yang Jiao had once found and started fishing there.
【Ding. 】
[Congratulations, host, for successfully completing the mission of escorting Jiang Ziya to Panxi. Reward: 5 Card Draw Tokens.]
Yang Jiao thought happily:
"Now we have twenty tokens!"
"I'll smoke them all as soon as I get home!"
Mosquito Taoist looked at Jiang Ziya and found the old man quite strange. He tugged at Yang Jiao's sleeve and said:
"Yang Jiao, I don't think this old man is a good person. He doesn't even have a fishhook, yet he wants to fish."
"Don't play with him anymore, you'll become stupid."
Yang Jiao choked.
This is great wisdom: using a fishhook to catch fish, but what Jiang Ziya wanted to catch was a wise ruler.
She looked at Jiang Ziya, who was now in a meditative state, and without saying anything to disturb him, she pulled Mosquito Taoist back.
Ascending into the sky,
Looking down at Xiqi,
Investiture of the Gods
And so it began...
