Seventy miles away from Xiqi City is Xiqi Mountain.The trees in Xiqi Mountain are verdant all year round, and there is a clear stream at the foot of the mountain.

According to Si Buxiang, if Jiang Ziya is neither in the prime minister's mansion nor in the palace, then he must have come to this place - Fenxi where King Wen hired him.

Fu Xu walked three miles along the Fenxi River, and found Jiang Ziya under a weeping willow on the other side of the river.

She tapped the water surface lightly with her toes, and after a few ups and downs, she flew to his side.

Jiang Ziya took a fishing rod and fished leisurely, not surprised that the people beside him suddenly appeared here.

He smiled kindly, and said to Fu Xu: "His Royal Highness Fengjun, there is no one else here, so sit down as you please." After he finished speaking, he ignored her and started singing on his own—

"When the west wind blows and the white clouds fly, what will you do when the year is twilight?

Five phoenixes are singing, Allah is here, and when you are fishing with a pole, you will never know me. "(Note ①)

Fu Xu listened quietly for a while, but couldn't understand what he was singing.

She sat beside Jiang Ziya, looked at his motionless fishing rod, and asked, "What are you singing about?"

"Haha." Jiang Ziya chuckled softly, but answered the wrong question, "Forty years ago, I went to Kunlun Mountain to seek Taoism, and I wanted to become an immortal. But until I was 72 years old, I didn't realize the Tao."

Fu Xu curled up his legs, his arms overlapped on his knees, and his chin was propped up.After posing in such a comfortable position, she tilted her head and asked him, "If you can't understand the Dao, you will go down the mountain?"

"Master found me and said to me: 'You don't have enough opportunities, and it's hard to achieve immortality. You can only enjoy the blessings of the world. Go down the mountain. You will do the work of enshrining the gods and assist the Ming Lord. When you are successful, you will go up the mountain again. That day.' I packed my bags and went down the mountain." His pupils were a little dizzy, and his focus was not aligned, and he just stared at the trees in front of him erratically, wondering what he was thinking.

He was silent for a long time, until the fishing rod in his hand shook slightly, before he came back to his senses.But he just looked at the fishing rod and didn't do anything.Fu Xu subconsciously lifted the fishing rod.

But when she lifted the fishing rod, she was stunned.

"You mortals, do you fish like this?" She looked at the straight silver needle at the end of the line, and wondered, "Are all mortal fish this stupid? Can you take the bait without bait?"

"Hahahaha." Jiang Ziya pulled the line out of her hand, threw it into the water, and shook his head, "No. I'm not here for fishing."

As he spoke, he began to sing: "It's better to take from the straight than to seek from the melody, not to set up for Jinlin, but to catch the king and the lord." (Note ②)

"It's really troublesome for mortals to speak. It's hard to talk, and it's just a matter of saying something I don't understand." Fu Xu straightened up, propped his hands on the bank, put his legs into the stream, stirred the stream water, and muttered, "Are you talking again?" What are you singing?" Jiang Ziya was very unusual today, even though Fu Xu asked, he didn't expect him to answer.

Sure enough, he didn't answer, and still said his own: "I have no relatives in my family, only one old friend is still there. After I went down the mountain, I went to join him. With his help, I sold fences, sold I have worked in white noodles, sold pigs and sheep, worked as a tavern keeper, and opened a fate restaurant, but none of them were successful."

"Then you are useless." She interjected casually.The calves were completely submerged in the stream, and they shook once and for all, but their thoughts suddenly drifted away.

She remembered that it was near here that she met Yang Jian a few years ago.

"Later, I was fortunate enough to be recommended by Abigan, and I was appointed as a doctor, and was awarded the position of Sitian Supervisor, and served with the court." He sighed and said, "At that time, I wanted to help King Zhou return to the right path, but I was helpless. He was deeply bewitched by Daji's monstrous evildoer, and Daji felt resentful towards me because I burned her sister with real fire of samadhi, and she couldn't help it, so she fled to Xiqi."

There is actually such a layer.

Fu Xu thought for a while and asked, "Then you met King Wen here?"

He finally replied, nodded and said: "Wen Wang is virtuous and benevolent. He doesn't dislike me as a mere villager. He came to Fenxi to hire him with courtesy. Before he died, he entrusted the son to me, and I am today. The position of prime minister. I will never be able to repay these kindnesses in my life."

Fu Xu didn't know what kind of kindness these kindnesses were, so he didn't say a word.

Jiang Ziya continued: "King Wen asked me to be alone, hoping that I could help King Wu govern the country and the people, but I failed to do anything."

"I think you, the prime minister, have done a good job." She said, "If you talk about governing the country, the people in Xiqi City are abundant, the real estate is abundant, and the army and the people are harmonious. If you talk about peace and security, the people in the city are at ease in the market, humble and respectful. How do you say you didn't do anything?"

"The premise of governing the country and the people is that there are no worries inside and outside. But now there are monsters inside, and Yin and Shang crusade outside. The army will be exhausted in fierce battles. Which one is Ningtai?"

"You know there are demons haunting you?"

"I don't know if His Highness Fengjun has noticed that there is a faint black air in the palace?"

"Today, I came to you to talk about this." Fu Xu straightened his expression and said, "Since you know there are monsters, why don't you get rid of them?"

Jiang Ziya smiled wryly and said: "Feng Jun, Feng Jun, if I could get rid of it, I would have got rid of it long ago. The monster is the concubine Xinna of His Highness the Thirteenth Prince, not to mention that His Royal Highness loves her very much. If you get close to her Huaying Hall, you can say that the demon mirror and the demon-binding rope are useless to her. There seems to be some big treasure hidden on her body. People can check her demonic aura, but they can't see it. Show her true form."

"Could it be that it was sent by King Zhou? Isn't the Daji you are talking about a monster?"

"Her background was arranged seamlessly. I sent people to investigate for a long time, but found nothing."

"That's the case." Fu Xu frowned and pondered for a moment, then said, "Do you want me to sneak into the palace and get rid of her without anyone noticing?"

"Huh? No way!" Jiang Ziya refused, "Until now, this monster gets along very well with the Empress Dowager, and has been appreciated by many people in the palace. And since she can't show her real body, don't get rid of it rashly."

"I originally wanted to go into the palace to investigate it myself, but since you said so, I don't have to. But I'm in a good mood now, so I'm willing to intervene in these matters. When I'm in a bad mood, I'll do it if you beg me." Don’t do it.” Facing the water, Fu Xu straightened the somewhat messy hair on his forehead.

Jiang Ziya asked curiously, "I don't know why His Royal Highness Fengjun is so happy?"

Fu Xu smiled "hehe" and stuck out his tongue, a little embarrassed: "It's just a matter of touching the scene. A few years ago, I was seriously injured and fainted in this mountain, and was rescued by one person."

"So I thought of my benefactor." Jiang Ziya stroked his gray beard and looked at her thoughtfully.

"Later, I went back to the Phoenix Terrace to retreat and heal my wounds. When I left the retreat, he was the first person I met."

"It's fate, it's fate." Jiang Ziya responded casually, smiled, and put away the fishing rod.

"I just don't know if he still remembers me." Fu Xu pulled his leg out of the water and snapped his fingers.Her body was covered with a hazy flame, and when the wet clothes touched the ground, they were evaporated dry with naked eyes.

She stood up, without any trace of water on her body, patted the dirt on her clothes, and said: "We will face the battle in three days, are you worried?"

"If I say I'm not worried, His Royal Highness Feng Jun probably won't believe it."

"If you're not worried, you wouldn't come here to mourn King Wen. You're still holding such a fishing rod." She sneered, grabbed Jiang Ziya's arm, and said, "It's so far away from the city, I'm too lazy to walk back Yes. You hold on to me, and I will fly you back."

She raised her hand, gestured a few times to the clouds in the sky, and muttered, "This one is thicker, so it's more comfortable to sit on." She curled her fingers slightly and grabbed it downwards.The cloud floated straight towards the two of them.

Fu Xu took Jiang Ziya to sit on it, rose into the air, and drove the clouds back to Xiqi City.

The conversation was very pleasant, neither of them saw a black crow hidden in the weeping willow.

Its dark eyes flashed, and then it spread its wings and flapped a few times not far away.

Soon, there were a few "wow-wow" neighings from the tree opposite, and another black crow flapped its wings and flew towards the mountainside.

In the depths of the dense forest halfway up the mountain, there was a hastily built simple house with a few planks of wood. The crow flew in and threw itself into the arms of the man who was leaning on the table and pretending to be asleep.

The man was wrapped in a black robe from head to toe, revealing only a pair of narrow eyes.

But if you look closely, you can also find that there seems to be a little pattern or a spell on his forehead.

He closed his eyes, reached out to catch the crow, and then slowly opened his eyes, holding the crow in front of his eyes.The crow's beak opened and closed without making a sound.But he seemed to hear something, and smiled.

A deep and deep voice sounded: "Thank you for your hard work." The crow rubbed his palm obediently.

The crow was about to peck him lightly when he suddenly felt his hand holding it tighten.Before he could even scream, it was crushed to death in his palm by his sudden movement.

There was a silver-gray light faintly visible under the black robe. He lifted up the robe, untied the ancient sword hanging from his waist, and placed it on the table.The dead crow's pupils were wide open, and a man with a very handsome face was reflected in its pupils.

He raised his hand and wiped it lightly, and the crow turned into a pool of black blood, which was slowly sucked into the body of the sword by the ancient sword.

At the same time, he stood up and straightened his black robe, concealing the silver-gray hem that was exposed inside, and walked out of the wooden house.

"Only the green mountains and rivers are still there,

Throughout the ages, it is all empty. "(Note ③)

The deep voice sang this song with the ultimate sense of vicissitudes.He probably used some kind of magic technique, his voice was very low, but the echo soon filled the mountains and forests.He stood with his hands behind his back, looked at the direction of Fuxu's departure, and chanted in a low voice repeatedly.

Throughout the ages, it is all empty...

"Benefactor." He whispered, narrowing his eyes.

***

Fu Xu took Jiang Ziya to walk around the south gate.

During the period, she saw that the Taishi was organized in an orderly manner, and she sincerely praised Jiang Ziya, and she wanted to stay and take a good look at it.

Jiang Ziya next to her was in pain and couldn't speak, while holding on to the hem of Fuxu's clothes tightly to prevent herself from falling.While persuading: "Feng Jun, it's getting late, let's go to the city quickly."

"Aren't you curious about his military training method? After all, there is such an opportunity to learn from him in an open and aboveboard manner, so you don't want to watch it for a while?"

Jiang Ziya said: "I heard that the grand master has always been known for being 'victorious', and his way of training troops is not suitable for Xiqi. Besides, we may not be defeated in three days."

Fu Xu raised the corners of his lips in a funny way, then quickly pressed them back down, put on an indifferent expression, and let out a long "oh": "I heard Nezha said earlier that you'grow others' ambitions and destroy your own prestige, Morale is not half before the war, is that so?"

Embarrassed, Jiang Ziya said, "Nonsense! There is no one who has lost morale before the war! I will definitely ask him when I go back, how can I make fun of my uncle!"

After teasing enough, Fu Xu took him back to the city on a cloud.Just as she was about to land on the tower, she suddenly turned her head as if feeling something.

A black crow flew past her, yelling "Wow-wow".

Her right eyelid twitched violently, and she felt an unknown feeling in her heart for no reason.

***

Before I knew it, three days passed.

Jiang Ziya dispatched the five-party team that had been carefully deployed a few days ago, and they were stationed at Zhengong, Ligong, Duigong, Kangong, and Wujigong.He rode Sibuxiang, and there were generals standing on both sides of him, looking majestic and majestic.

And Wen Taishi stood under the dragon and phoenix flag, riding a black unicorn, holding a golden whip in each hand, and two people stood on the left and right.

His face was not angry and majestic. First of all, on his face, his aura overwhelmed Jiang Ziya. The aura around him was completely different from Jiang Ziya's aura surrounded by everyone.

Standing on the tower, Fuxu caught a glimpse of the golden whip in Wen Taishi's hand, as if she heard a tiny humming from the golden whip in her own hand.

Puzzled, he brought the golden whip to his eyes and looked at it. The humming just now seemed to be an illusion, and it never appeared again.

Shen Si was called back by Grand Master Wen's loud voice, and she heard Zhong Leng's voice say: "Jiang Shang! I heard that you are a famous scholar in Kunlun Mountain, but why are you always so ignorant?"

"Oh?" Jiang Ziya said indifferently, "I obeyed the king's order, and followed the army and the people. I have been down the mountain for nearly ten years, but I still don't forget the Taoist heart. What am I not familiar with?"

Jiang Ziya looked kind, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes. These words came out of his mouth slowly, but on the battlefield where the murderous intent was almost condensed into a weapon, it was more provocative for no reason.

Wen Taishi sneered, Fuxu seemed to be able to smell the anger on him from a very long distance: "You don't know what happened to you? Hahahahaha! Okay, then I will come one by one, let you die You must understand!"

Bored, Fu Xu put his arms on the tower, covered his face, and listened to their "useless words".A fairy like her who is ready to fight within three sentences really can't understand why they haven't started fighting after talking for so long.

"Article [-], the crime of deceiving the emperor! Today King Zhou is in power, but you disrespect the emperor's order and become King Wu!"

"Article [-], the crime of rebellion! You take in the rebel minister Huang Feihu and restore his official post in Xiqi!"

"Article [-], the crime of great treason! The teacher who asked the crime came to arrest the traitor, but you stopped him again and again, and killed the envoy!"

"Heh, you are still here with my eloquent tongue. Jiang Shang, with your tiny tricks, do you dare to compare with me?"

Hearing that the grand master angrily listed a series of crimes, he thought Jiang Ziya would be ashamed, but he smiled lightly.

"The grand master's words are wrong. The so-called 'if the ruler is not upright, the ministers will turn to foreign countries'. If King Zhou's character is not enough to support the world, then naturally a new ruler must be established."

"You!" Wen Taishi was furious, pointing at Jiang Ziya's hand trembling slightly, before he thought of dismissing it, he heard Jiang Ziya continue, "Taishi is famous in all directions, and today he personally conquered Xiqi, so he acted rashly. Why don't you Please return to the court for the time being and guard the borders. After all..."

Jiang Ziya stroked his beard and smiled: "The victory of a military strategist is determined by the sky. If you act against the sky, losing here today will really damage your dignity."

Master Wen was so angry that his lips trembled and he was speechless.But Fu Xu laughed so hard that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear.

She didn't expect to be able to gain prestige by talking about it, she really underestimated Jiang Ziya on weekdays.

Jiang Ziya's light words made the Grand Master's teeth itch with hatred.

He pointed to Huang Feihu who was standing beside Jiang Ziya, and shouted: "Which general, take down this traitor first!"

"The last general, Deng Zhong, is willing to go!" After Wen Taishi, a man with an ax strode out.

Seeing the face named Deng Zhong, Fu Xu was stunned for a moment, then the corners of his mouth twitched, and he couldn't bear to look directly and turned his face away.

When she was still in Wa Palace in the past, the girl's heart had not faded, she only liked beautiful things, and she was only willing to meet good-looking people.At that time, Empress Nuwa told her earnestly: "Right now you like it, but in the future, you must never judge someone by their appearance."

Later, although she restrained herself, she still didn't get rid of the habit of "judging people by their appearance", otherwise she wouldn't have missed Yang Jian all the time.

The man with the ax looked really... indescribable.

The face is like indigo, the hair is like cinnabar, and there are two rows of fangs on the upper and lower sides.When he spoke, she was worried that his fangs would pierce his lips.

When Huang Feihu fought with Deng Zhong, he became more and more tall and straight, handsome and handsome.

The generals on both sides went to battle one by one. General Nangong resisted a man with a spear, and Jiang Ziya's serious apprentice Wu Ji drove a horse against a man with a double mace.

The three pairs of generals had already occupied less than half of the battlefield, and the smoke was billowing from the fight.

Fu Xu took a look, and immediately recognized the level of their strength in his heart.She wasn't worried about Xiqi's three generals, at the moment her attention was all attracted by the man with wings behind Grand Master Wen.

He is also extremely ugly, with a face like a jujube, sharp mouth and fangs, very ferocious.Standing behind Grand Master Wen with two hammers in hand, he was unusually calm.

Fu Xu subconsciously felt that if the three pairs of generals who were fighting couldn't tell the winner, he would have to take action next.

She squeezed a trick on her wrist so that she could deal with unexpected events at any time.

Sure enough, he watched for a moment, frowned irritably, snorted heavily from his nose, pinched the fleshy wings under his ribs, and rushed towards Jiang Ziya quickly.

It was too late to say it and then it was too fast, Fu Xu's hand formula was one step faster than him to hit him.He paused slightly, turned sideways to avoid it, stood up with one hammer, and continued to throw the other hammer at Jiang Ziya.

Huang Tian's body flashed, and he stood in front of Jiang Ziya, and with a flip of his wrist, he brought out his silver hammer.

With a sound of "Dang", the two hammers collided, sparking dazzling sparks, the ugly man's hammer was flicked lightly by Huang Tianhua, and flew towards Grand Master Wen's position.

Hearing that the grand master didn't move, the ugly man summoned his weapon back by chanting the formula, and started fighting with Huang Tianhua.

But this hammer seemed to have broken some invisible barrier, Wen Zhong sneered, and drove his mount Mo Qilin to attack Jiang Ziya.Jiang Ziya also drove out of the way and greeted him.

Once the war situation is triggered, it will be out of control.Fuxu's right eyelid suddenly twitched violently, and he panicked.She remembered that the last time she panicked like this was when she met Yu Qian in Beiminghai.

She jumped off the city tower, borrowed strength from the city wall, and landed lightly on the ground.With a flick of the golden whip, countless branches stretched out, pulling away the Yin Shang soldiers who tried to attack her.

She rushed towards Jiang Ziya anxiously, but was stopped by more and more soldiers.

Wen Taishi's whip technique is outstanding, and he has been used to the battlefield for a long time, how can Jiang Ziya be his opponent!Within a few strokes, the winner was already decided, and Fuxu became more and more impatient looking at Jiang Ziya, who was showing signs of defeat.

After finally pulling away the entangled soldiers, he moved forward a few steps.She saw the double whips in Wen Zhong's hands suddenly turned into two dragons.Jiaolong exhaled, roared and rushed towards Jiang Ziya, throwing him off the ground.

"Old man!" In her desperation, she didn't care too much, she concentrated her celestial power on her wrist, and threw her golden whip at Jiang Ziya.The golden whip separated Jiang Ziya from Wen Zhong's dragon whip amidst the buzzing sound.

Hearing that Grand Master's face was stained with shock, he looked at Fu Xu fiercely, and was about to drive the dragon whip to cut off Jiang Ziya's head, when he suddenly noticed the strong wind blowing behind him.

It was Nezha who rode the Hot Wheels and shot his hair.

Wen Taishi disheveled, like a ghost from hell.With a hook of his finger, he recalled the dragon whip, and threw it at Nezha viciously.

Taking advantage of this time, Fu Xu hurried to Jiang Ziya's side, helped him to ride Sibuxiang, and retreated from the battlefield.

Nezha was defeated by Grand Master Wen. In less than ten rounds, Nezha was savagely knocked off Fenghuolun by his dragon whip. Fortunately, his second brother Muzha caught him in time.

Jin Zha stopped the Jiaolong whip with a gun, and shouted to his second brother: "Take him away!"

Nezha vomited a big puddle of blood, his shoulders drooped limply.This time it wasn't laziness, it was the joints that were knocked out of their joints.Even though he was beaten like this, he was still angry that Jiang Ziya was injured by Wen Zhong.Being carried on Mu Zha's back, he vomited blood and shouted to his elder brother, "Remember to avenge Master Jiang!"

Before hearing Jin Zha's reply, he fainted first.

But he was neither dizzy nor heard Jin Zha's reply.It is still difficult for Jin Zha to take care of himself and cannot be distracted.Wen Taishi had previously used Jiang Ziya to practice with Nezha, and his condition became better and better.Jin Zha lasted less than three rounds before he broke his spear with a whip.

Unable to dodge the oncoming dragon, he closed his eyes deeply.

There was a sound of "bang" when the weapons were handed over, and Jiaolong retreated back with a howl.Jin Zha opened his eyes and saw that it was Yang Jian standing in front of him.

"Senior Brother Yang!"

"I'm here, you back away first." Yang Jian held Jin Zha behind him with a three-pointed two-edged knife, looked at Wen Taishi with disheveled hair, and said, "Wen Taishi, you look so ridiculous. Loss of majesty."

As always, Yang Jian can't speak, and he can always pick up places that others don't like to hear.

It is heard that the grand master rushed over with a black unicorn. The two golden whips are divided into two qi according to yin and yang, and each has its own magical method.He either sent out two whips at once, or one master and one assistant, showing endless magical powers.But no matter what, he could be blocked by Yang Jian's knife, and he couldn't hurt Yang Jian at all.

Grand Master Wen saw that every move and every style of his was very good, his saber technique was calm and varied, which was completely different from Nezha's slightly fancy spear technique and Jin Zha's rigid and inflexible spear technique.Can't help but praise and sigh in my heart.

The praise is "Heroes come out of youth, with such a strange person, can Xi Qi'an not turn against"?

What he sighed was "such a strange person, why can't he be used by my Yin Shang?"

The attack with the double whips in his hands accelerated, and he made a false move with the male whip in his hand, and while Yang Jian's eyes flickered, he stabbed at Yang Jian's face.Yang Jian lifted the knife to block it, and was just jamming the male whip on the left knife edge.

The two were at a stalemate, and Yang Jian tried to draw the knife, but was firmly suppressed by Wen Zhong.Looking at the female whip in Wen Zhong's other hand, he suddenly realized that this was a trick.

With a grim face, Wen Zhong stabbed the female whip fiercely into the line between his foreheads.

There was blood continuously flowing from Yang Jian's forehead, Wen Zhong smiled red-eyed: "Hahahaha, although you are a generation of heroes, compared with the old man, you are still a little tender..."

Before he finished speaking, he looked at the wound on Yang Jian's forehead in astonishment: "What's going on?"

Between Yang Jian's forehead, the wound that was being deeply pierced by his female whip, golden light burst out continuously, and the golden light melted the female whip little by little.

In desperation, I was afraid that the female whip would be completely melted.Without thinking about it, he raised his hand to whip the female whip.

The hand that was holding Yang Jian's knife loosened slightly, Yang Jian's expression froze, and he violently snapped off the male whip in his hand.

Wen Zhongcai pulled out the female whip, and felt the male whip shake, and then his heart felt cold.He subconsciously took a few steps back, narrowly avoiding the knife stabbing his chest.

The female whip was intact, not a bit melted away.He looked at the lines on Yang Jian's forehead that not only were not injured, but also opened into one eye at some point, and praised him sincerely: "What a powerful way to cover up the eyes."

Yang Jian gently wiped the blood on the tip of the knife, regretfully said: "It's a pity."

Grand Master Wen looked at him nervously, afraid that he would make any moves, and shouted somewhere: "Tao Rong, don't be obsessed with fighting, sacrifice to gather wind banners!"

The man who fought with Wu Ji left the battlefield in an instant, took out a small flag from his arms, and waved it several times. The battlefield was covered with flying sand and rocks, and the sky was dark.

Yang Jian's face changed, and he took the lead in killing a bloody path in the strong wind, and shouted: "Go back to the city!"

The author has something to say:

Business:

A few (notes) in the article are all excerpted from the original text of "Fengshen Yanyi"

Note ①: This poem was played by Jiang Ziya on the spot when King Wen hired him. (He sang this song to miss King Wen)

Note ②: This poem was written by Wu Ji who laughed at his way of fishing, and Jiang Ziya satirized Wu Ji. (He sang this song to express his sentiments)

Note ②: This song was also written by Jiang Ziya. The background is that since he fled to Xiqi, he has nothing to do but fish every day. Seeing the surging water, he expresses his feelings. (But these two sentences are stupid, just to pretend to be a fart =_=)

A few words of gossip:

Alas, I have recently become obsessed with "The Beauty in the Closet"...

Stupid really likes Chen Yao, and watched it specially for her, and then became a fan of Han Dong =_=

Baba in a low voice: Although it is said that Uncle Jiao is the "spokesperson" of the second brother, but when Yang Jian is mentioned, the first thing that pops up in my mind is Han Dong, so handsome! !
