Chapter 1267: Death of Wen Zhong

That day, inside Jiepai Pass.

Jiang Ziya didn't know how many times he had persuaded the generals to retreat, and sat alone in the city gate tower, sighing.

What was going on with his master? Why had there been no news for so long? He was so anxious.

"Prime Minister, Prime Minister..." Just when he was depressed, Nezha's voice suddenly sounded outside the door.

Jiang Ziya asked in a low mood: "What's wrong again?"

"The Shang Dynasty's Grand Master Wen Zhong showed up and sent you a letter." Nezha said outside the door.

Hearing the word Wen Zhong, Jiang Ziya's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, and he immediately became energetic, and stood up from the middle of the bench: "Give me the letter."

"Yes."

Nezha strode into the city gate tower and handed a yellow letter to the generalissimo.

Jiang Ziya opened the letter quickly, scanned the letter, and laughed uncontrollably: "God helps me, I finally waited for a turning point."

"What turning point?" Nezha looked curious.

"Wen Zhong's arrival is a turning point."

Jiang Ziya shook the letter in his hand and said: "Wen Zhong asked me to fight to the death at Juelong Ridge at noon tomorrow."

"Junior brother~" As soon as the voice fell, a shout came from outside the city gate again.

Jiang Ziya's heart moved, and he hurriedly said: "It's Senior Brother Yun Zhongzi, Nezha, hurry up and greet him."

Nezha curled his lips, looking unhappy: "If it's someone from the Western Zhou Dynasty, as a vanguard officer, I can still greet him with the prime minister, but if it's someone from the Chan Sect... the prime minister will go to greet him himself, and I will withdraw first."

After that, he didn't give Jiang Ziya a chance to respond at all, and disappeared directly from the other party's sight.

Jiang Ziya was in a good mood at the moment, so he didn't care about the other party's childish temper. He walked out of the city gate tower with big strides and bowed to the purple-robed Taoist who came over: "Greetings, Senior Brother Yun Zhongzi."

Yun Zhongzi smiled slightly: "Junior brother, I am here to help you kill Wen Zhong on the order of Master."

Kill Wen Zhong?

Jiang Ziya's face was slightly stagnant, and he hurriedly said: "Senior brother, why do you want to kill Wen Zhong? Once Wen Zhong dies, who can lead the Jiejiao group of immortals to support the Shang Dynasty?"

Yun Zhongzi asked back: "Junior brother, do you think Master can't see this?"

Jiang Ziya understood it and responded: "Wen Zhong asked me to fight a decisive battle at Juelong Ridge, Senior brother, follow me..."

On the other side.

Wuzhuang Temple.

The almost endless spiritual essence helped Qin Yao too much.

Just like when people don't eat, they will only think about eating in their minds. Only when they are full and satisfied, they will have the leisure to think about life.

After 49 days of integration and careful polishing, the Heavenly Book rules in Qin Yao's Kingdom of God condensed into a ceiling shape. Many places were only a little short of being completely integrated.

"What's missing?"

Qin Yao stared at the flower of truth, and for a moment he had no idea.

Fortunately, he had a master who was well-versed in Buddhism and Taoism. He could eventually find the answer to his doubts from the other party's practice experience.

So he raised his hands, put his thumbs on his forehead, and his mind passed through his flesh and skin, through the flames manifested by the power of karma, and looked into the inside of the Bodhi seed.

Here, he saw far more vast truths (perceptions) than the Heavenly Book.

These perceptions turned into a staircase leading directly to the sky in the void. Each step was engraved with countless runes, and at the end of the staircase was a door. Qin Yao tried to detect it with the method of observation, but he could not find out the true meaning of this door.

Qin Yao silently withdrew his gaze from the door, and his soul escaped into it. He climbed up the steps, and with every step he took, Bodhi's perception of this realm would appear in front of him.

He reflected his own perception with this perception and moved forward, and before he knew it, he had more perceptions.

"Wow."

"Wow..."

Gradually, the immortal energy in his soul began to circulate wildly, like the flow of waves, and actually made a substantial sound.

During this process, the spiritual essence of the ginseng fruit tree continued to fly into his soul. Because the amount was too much and too large, his soul could not absorb it for a while, so it blessed Shen Gongbao's body, making his demon body continue to strengthen, and the divine light penetrated the pores and shone here, making it like the sun.

Originally, Qingfeng just couldn't look directly, but now it was difficult to avoid this bright light, and the shining eyes were golden.

Helplessly, he could only withdraw from the ginseng orchard and close the garden door, which blocked the invasion of the dazzling light.

In the Bodhi seed.

Tongtian stone steps.

The higher he went, the longer Qin Yao paused.

After walking two-thirds of the way, it can be said that each step would bring him endless ideas.

However, not all ideas are good. He needs to discern and judge, and choose the true meaning that suits him...

When he was two steps away from the top, he stood on the third to last step, where he found a part of the law and truth that he was missing.

One by one, the golden words jumped out from the steps and merged into his soul. Qin Yao instantly understood the method of the ceiling aggregation, sat cross-legged in the void, and chanted the scriptures.

The scriptures are the Great Grade Celestial Immortal Jue, a rare quick-learning method in the world.

As he chanted, the countless runes that made up the ceiling in the Kingdom of God lit up one by one, and the last trace of gaps were constantly merged in this light.

After a long time.

Qin Yao finished reading all the scriptures of the Great Grade Celestial Immortal Jue, and the light shining on the ceiling gradually faded, and a complete and intact flower appeared here.

"Successful." Sister Long looked up at the flower of truth and said leisurely.

Kui Mei finished her practice and said: "It's a pity that the Great Immortal Zhen Yuanzi hasn't come back yet, otherwise we could have cultivated the Earth Flower immediately."

Sister Long said calmly: "I will come back one day after all... The most difficult thing is the book of life and death. Qin Yao has nothing to do with the underworld in this world."

In the ginseng garden.

At the ginseng fruit tree.

Qin Yao's whole body quickly became introverted, and he slowly opened his eyes.

Outside the orchard, Qingfeng saw this situation and immediately flew into the garden and asked: "What's wrong?"

Qin Yao stood up and bowed deeply to the other party: "It's quite satisfactory. Thank you, brother."

Qingfeng immediately laughed: "It's such a simple task, so why bother? Fellow Taoist, please get up quickly."

Qin Yao stood up, shook his head and said: "For Brother Dao, it's a piece of cake, but for me, this favor has at least saved me decades or even hundreds of years of hard work. I owe Brother Dao a favor."

Qingfeng blinked and said: "Then can you tell me, what is the content of the letter? These days, I am really curious... You told me this secret, so that we can be clear."

Qin Yao laughed: "Actually, it's not a big secret. It's just a letter of recommendation. Its main function is to help me borrow a book from Zhen Yuanzi to have a look."

"Viewing the Book of the Earth?" Qingfeng asked in astonishment, "What are you doing by reading the Book of the Earth?"

Even if there is a supreme inheritance of their Wuzhuang Temple in the Book of Earth, the problem is that the Taoist friend in front of me has the five qi and smallpox, so he can't stop practicing again, right?

Qin Yao didn't hide anything, and said: "To achieve the earth flower."

Qingfeng was still confused: "Can the book from the ground make the flower from the ground come true?"

Qin Yao said: "That's right, I just used the Heavenly Book to Confer the Gods to achieve the smallpox among the three flowers. Next, I will use the earthly book to create the earthly flower, and the human book to create the human flower, and finally seek the state where the three flowers gather at the top. "

"Can you still practice like this?" Qingfeng looked surprised.

This was a huge deviation from the immortal theory he accepted, and his worldview was slightly shaken.

"I just got smallpox, what do you think?" Qin Yao responded with a smile.

Qingfeng blinked quickly and asked with an embarrassed face: "Um...can I practice like this?"

Qin Yao shook his head and said: "I don't know if you can. When the Immortal Zhen Yuanzi comes back, you can ask him. If he says it is okay, you can go to the battlefield between the Western Zhou Dynasty and the Yin Shang to find me, and I will help you. Read the Book of Heaven.”

Qingfeng was overjoyed and said sincerely: "Thank you, you are so loyal."

Qin Yao laughed dumbly.

He is not the kind of person who talks about loyalty. He is just trying to achieve good results by sowing good causes.

However, he felt that Qingfeng should be enough to make it work.

After all, he had too many adventures to do this, and Qingfeng obviously did not have this condition.

"Wait." At this time, after the joy, Qingfeng suddenly reacted: "Are you leaving?"

Qin Yao suppressed his smile and nodded slightly: "After waiting for so many days, the Great Immortal has not come back. I don't know when he will be able to return in the future. I don't have time to wait any longer."

Qingfeng was puzzled: "Why? Could it be that the battlefield is separated from you and we can't move forward?"

"That's not the case." Qin Yao said: "I want to use the Battle of the Gods to accumulate merit so that I can do something big."

Qingfeng suddenly realized, then said: "Well, when the master comes back, I will immediately ask him if I can do this like you."

Qin Yao waved his hand and said, "I'll leave first. See you later."

"Definitely." Qingfeng said with a smile.

Qin Yao nodded slightly and soared into the sky until he was far away from Qingfeng's sight. He raised his hands and summoned a dimensional door leading to the wilderness of Jiepaiguan.

Then, he stepped through the door and went straight to the outside of the Jiepai Pass. He turned around and put away the circular portal that was constantly emitting sparks.

"Meet the Imperial Master."

"Meet the Imperial Master..."

When he shrunk to the ground and walked quickly to the city gate, the soldiers guarding the city cheered loudly when they saw his figure.

And such cheers also startled everyone who was celebrating in the city gate tower.

Jiang Guoxiang, who was sitting in the first place, was sober in an instant, and said with a half-smile, "It's an unlucky time to come."

Among the generals below, Nezha frowned and said, "What does the Prime Minister mean by this?"

"Zhaer!" Beside him, Li Jing called helplessly.

"It doesn't matter, being able to kill Wen Zhong is also due to Nezha." Jiang Ziya waved his hand, stood up and said, "Gentlemen, please come with me to greet the Prime Minister."

At his call, all the senior generals of the Zhou army followed him and walked out of the city gate tower.

At this time, Qin Yao happened to step into the void and landed on the city wall. His eyes met Jiang Shang's and he smelled the clear smell of alcohol.

"Are you gathering people to drink?"

"It's a celebration banquet." Jiang Ziya looked proud.

This time, he defeated the Yin Shang Military God without any advice from the other party.

Although, the process is not very glorious...

"Celebrating, what are you celebrating?" Qin Yao asked doubtfully.

Jiang Ziya said leisurely: "We killed Wen Zhong in formation!"

Qin Yao: "..."

Wen Zhong is dead? !

How could Wen Zhong die?

Thinking about this problem, he gradually frowned and said, "How did Wen Zhong die?"

Jiang Ziya said: "He doesn't know destiny, he doesn't know the number of days..."

"Prime Minister, please make it simpler." Qin Yao interrupted.

This kind of "preface" is really like an old lady's foot-binding cloth, smelly and long.

Jiang Ziya was unhappy, but the other party was not rude, so he didn't ask anything: "In short, Wen Zhong sought his own death and asked me to fight to the death, and finally lost and died."

Qin Yao felt that this statement was nonsense. He looked at Nezha and said, "So that's it. You can continue to celebrate. I'll go back to rest first."

In front of so many people, Jiang Ziya couldn't ask for the Heavenly Book of the List of Gods, so he said, "Okay, please, Master."

"I'll take Master back to rest." Nezha stood up and said loudly after receiving Qin Yao's gaze.

"Prime Minister, let Nezha take me, it won't be a problem, right?" Qin Yao asked.

"No problem, no problem, what's the problem?" Jiang Shang waved his hands repeatedly.

After a while, Qin Yao and Nezha walked down the city gate tower together and walked slowly into the city. However, they saw that during the military control period, every household closed their doors and windows, and the long street was even more deserted.

"How did Wen Zhong die? I don't believe Jiang Ziya can kill Wen Zhong." Qin Yao suddenly asked while walking.

Nezha responded softly: "Wen Zhong was indeed not killed by Jiang Guo, but died from Yun Zhongzi's sneak attack, and was killed in one blow."

Hearing this, Qin Yao was even more surprised. He suddenly stopped where he was, and then opened a dimensional door leading to Qishan on the long street: "You follow me."

"Yes, Master."

As the master and apprentice crossed the light gate, they came to the front of the Fengshen Platform in Qishan from the Jiepai Pass in an instant.

Bai Jian, who was guarding the Fengshen Platform, saw their figures and hurriedly stood up to greet them: "Benefactor."

"I want to see Wen Zhong." Qin Yao said.

Bai Jian immediately waved the soul-calling flag and called Wen Zhong's soul out of the Fengshen Platform.

"Master Shen." After seeing Qin Yao, Wen Zhong's expression suddenly became complicated.

"Grandmaster..."

Qin Yao pursed his lips and frowned, "Why are you seeking death?"

In his opinion, if Wen Zhong didn't want to die, then under the current situation, he would not have fallen to this point.

Wen Zhong sighed: "There are many reasons."

Qin Yao summoned tables, chairs, benches, and even wine pots and wine glasses: "The night is still long, enough to tell it clearly."

Wen Zhong smiled and sat opposite him: "Yes, no matter how long the story is, it will always be finished."

Qin Yao poured him a glass of wine, and then asked Bai Jian: "Drink together?"

"No, no, I can't drink because of my duty." Bai Jian waved his hand.

Qin Yao didn't persuade him much, turned his head to look at Wen Zhong, waiting for his response.

Wen Zhong took a sip from the wine glass and exhaled a long breath: "First, if I don't die, I will be sorry for those brothers who died because of me. They died on the battlefield one by one, and will serve the heaven in the future, but I am just like a normal person, enjoying the blessings of immortality. This is not appropriate.

Second, I must die. Because if I don't die, there will be endless calculations on my head, and I will be used as a hook to hook out more victims of Jiejiao.

So, I originally planned to die with Jiang Ziya, but I didn't expect that the other party would have no shame at all and actually asked Yun Zhongzi to attack..."
