The Richest Man in the Heavens Starts from Outlaws of the Marsh

Chapter 915: Emperor?

Du Yu settled down in Chaoge City.

There is no way, because of the luck of the Emperor, if magic is used in the palace, Emperor Xin will definitely discover it.

He didn't want to have any entanglement with this chess piece that had been abandoned by that person, so as not to be affected by any cause and effect. Although he was not afraid of danger, he was afraid of trouble.

Du Yu guessed that Demon Lord Tianwei would definitely hide the "beacon" in some unexpected place, and it must have some connection with this world.

After much thought, he realized that the biggest thing in the current world of Fengshen is not this war which seems just on the surface but is not so glorious in reality.

That was why he wanted to look for it in the royal treasury of the Shang Dynasty. Unfortunately, he could not use his chaotic immortal power and demonic energy to sense it, so his efficiency was extremely low.

Fortunately, the war was still early in the process and he still had time to search Chaoge City.

In this way, Du Yu wandered around the city during the day and often sneaked into the palace at night to look for clues about the "beacon".

In the blink of an eye, a month had passed. He had searched the royal treasury thoroughly, but apart from some rare treasures, he did not see any trace of the 'beacon'.

This annoyed him a little, but there was nothing he could do.

"Could it be that I am wrong and the 'beacon' is not in Chaoge, or is there some place in Chaoge City that no one has ever set foot on?" he murmured.

Thinking of this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he actually thought of a place where he would not be disturbed, which was the ancestral land of the Shang royal family.

"It's you." Du Yu said.

After saying this, he didn't care that it was still daytime. He walked out of the inn, first left the city and then hid his whereabouts and rushed to the old site of Bodu.

With his speed, he rushed from Chaoge to the vicinity of Bodu, the original capital of the Shang Dynasty, in less than an hour.

Compared with Chaoge, it was in a much more dilapidated state due to the relocation of the capital, but it was still a city of considerable size.

But its level of vigilance is much lower. Not to mention the monks, even the number of ordinary soldiers is relatively scarce.

But this was exactly what Du Yu wanted. It was easier to get things done without being disturbed.

It was not until late at night that he finally started to move, and after a while he entered the ancestral land of the Zi family.

"The black bird was sent by heaven to give birth to the Shang Dynasty and the vast land of Yin. The ancient emperor sent Wu Tang to rule the four directions." In the "Book of Songs. Shang Song. Black Bird", it is stated that the ancestor of the Shang Dynasty, Qi, was born by the black bird, and the black bird became the ancestor and totem of the Shang Dynasty.

"Records of the Grand Historian: The Basic Annals of Yin" says: Yin Qi's mother was Jian Di, the daughter of You Rong Di and the second concubine of Emperor Ku. The three of them were bathing and saw a black bird with an egg. Jian Di took it and swallowed it, and then she became pregnant and gave birth to Qi.

It is said that Qi, the ancestor of the Shang Dynasty, was born after his mother swallowed a bird egg. After he founded the Shang Dynasty, he naturally regarded the Xuanniao as his ancestor.

Du Yu didn’t know whether the story was true or not, but the stone carvings in the Zi family’s ancestral land did contain this story, and patterns of the black bird were carved everywhere.

However, because it is a place for sacrifice, no one usually comes here, so there is no one guarding it.

Moreover, without the blessing of the Human Emperor's luck, Du Yu can do what he wants here.

He simply opened the Eye of Illusion to observe, but unfortunately there were no other magical objects here except the Black Bird Totem.

"No way." Du Yu was still a little unwilling.

I might as well switch between Hunyuan Immortal Power and Demonic Energy Sensing, but it would be futile no matter what I did.

"It seems that if the 'beacon' is not in Shang Dynasty, then it must be in Xiqi." Du Yu muttered to himself.

Come to think of it, it makes sense. After all, Xiqi is the winning side, and it should be safer to hide things with them.

He immediately changed direction and headed from Yin Shang to Xi Qi. Perhaps it was because Du Yu was not from this world, or perhaps it was because he was very low-key, but he had a smooth journey and happened to arrive at the battlefield where the two sides were fighting.

In fact, it’s not his fault. There are only a few roads from Shang to Xiqi, and he can’t avoid it no matter how he goes.

Now that he had arrived at the battlefield of the Shang-Zhou War, he simply stopped and watched, wanting to know how the battle had progressed.

A few days later, he figured out the situation.

This was the scene where Zhao Gongming had just come out of seclusion and beat Jiang Ziya to death with a whip.

Unlike the original novel where the war was explained in just a few paragraphs, in this world the two sides actually fought for a long time.

This is why Du Yu heard from the Three Goddesses about Zhao Gongming coming out of seclusion a few months ago, and why the other party only showed his divine power now.

After all, war is no small matter. How can it be possible that someone will respond to a challenge just because a general is in the fight? A war will only begin after all preparations are complete.

Especially in this slave society, noble lords were very particular about face and procedures.

Just like in the Spring and Autumn Period, when fighting a war, people had to form a formation first, and both sides would fight only after they were ready. Tactics such as sneak attacks were despised by people.

Du Yu stayed for a while with great interest and witnessed the fight between the two sides.

Honestly speaking, compared to the vague mention in the novel, the battle between Zhao Gongming and those Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect is very exciting.

But in the eyes of this saint, they are not that powerful, and most of these people rely on the power of magic weapons, giving people the impression that they are not that powerful.

Du Yu did see Yang Jian, Nezha and others from myths and legends, but perhaps because of his preconceived notions, he no longer had the idol filter he had before for them.

"They are just a few poor tools." He shook his head and sighed.

The fight between the two sides became more and more exciting. With Zhao Gongming's several victories, he was afraid that he would also usher in a turning point in his destiny. The Taoist Lu Ya who wanted to kill him was likely to come uninvited.

Du Yu's mind moved, and he quietly sneaked into Shang Tang's camp by pretending to be in the void. He installed a surveillance camera using the same method before leaving.

He didn't want to help Zhao Gongming yet, he had to calculate the timing carefully.

After some tactical preparations, Du Yu left the battlefield and continued his journey westward.

Not long after, he arrived at Xiqi City, the capital of the Zhou Dynasty.

Just like what he did in Chaoge City, Du Yu quietly sneaked into the palace to look for the "beacon".

Of course, he also did not forget to take a look at what the future "king" would look like.

Although there is only one word difference between the title of Human Emperor and the title of Human Ruler, there is indeed a world of difference between them.

Since King Wu of Zhou, there has been no more emperor's luck. The imperial power became granted by gods, and emperors after him were called Sons of Heaven.

Although Du Yu had some resentment towards him, to be honest, King Wu of Zhou was indeed very handsome and heroic, and judging from his behavior, he was a man who was efficient and effective in doing things.

How to say it, perhaps because he was born into a commoner family, Du Yu still had a better impression of Zishou, the man who was willing to change the system and give slaves freedom.

Uh, but that's not important.

Even if there are some people who hate Xiqi, it does not mean that he will do anything to harm the future ruler. His purpose has always remained the same, which is to find the 'beacon'.
