[Comprehensive] Rebirth: The Subversive Myth

Chapter 012: Going to the Banquet

Ever since Su Daji listened to the chats of the palace people and had the heart to show off in front of her old sisters and compatriots for no reason, she pestered King Zhou to hold a feast.Because King Zhou had seen through her true face, she lied that she was her sister who practiced in the past, and now she has become a fairy.Although King Zhou could tolerate Su Daji being a monster, he didn't want to make any more troubles.

Seeing this, Su Daji had a plan in mind.She moved out the backer of Empress Nuwa, saying that she had practiced under Nuwa's sect, and all the Taoist friends she met were all under Empress' sect.Before meeting Daji, King Zhou once went to the temple of Nuwa to offer incense. He was deeply impressed by Nuwa's appearance, and even impulsively wrote a profane poem. King Zhou.

Today, if you have the opportunity to get close to Nuwamen, why not King Zhou?Immediately agreed to Su Daji's request, and handed over the matter to Abby Gan for handling.Su Daji felt dissatisfied again, so he drew a picture of the deer platform the next day and presented it to King Zhou.

"What's the meaning of Aifei?" King Zhou stroked the painting, admiring him, but he didn't understand Su Daji's intention.Today is the fifth day of the first lunar month, and there are still ten days left before the day of 'The Immortals Come to Court'.

"Your Majesty, what do you think of the scenery in this painting?" Su Daji snuggled into King Zhou's arms, and asked softly, "I had a dream at night, and I woke up from the dream and painted the scenery. What do you think, Your Majesty?"

King Zhou nodded in praise and said, "I love my concubine's wonderful hand Danqing, it's really a good place!"

Su Daji pointed at the painting, and Su Daji earnestly persuaded him: "I think that the king is the son of heaven and rich all over the world. If you don't build this platform, it is really not enough to match the status of the king! And the real fairy under the Nuwa empress is about to come, My concubine thinks that only this deer platform can reveal her status as a king and prolong her life."

"My concubine is just joking!" King Zhou laughed loudly when he heard this, "This Lutai project is huge, how can it be completed in just ten days?" meaning.

Daji smiled sweetly: "How can I be joking? There are two capable ministers in the great dynasty, and they can naturally help the king share his worries and problems."

"Who is the concubine Ai talking about?" King Zhou hurriedly asked.

"Prime Minister Shen Gongbao, doctor Jiang Ziya." Su Daji stretched out two fingers, smiling charmingly and briskly: "These two gentlemen are both from the Taoist school, and they are proficient in yin and yang. In just one day, they have many Taoist magic weapons, so there is naturally a way!"

Hearing this, King Zhou was overjoyed: "My concubine's words are justified!" He ordered his heralds: "Immediately declare Shen Gongbao and Jiang Ziya to enter the palace!"

Behind him, Su Daji smiled slightly, and a ruthless look flashed across his eyes.

***

"Junior brother also enters the palace by order?" In front of the Meridian Gate, Jiang Ziya had just hurriedly arrived when he ran into the leisurely Shen Gongbao.

"Senior brother is really clever..." Shen Gongbao glanced at him and said unhurriedly.

"Don't say that." Jiang Ziya's face turned red, and he argued: "Although I am your senior brother, I just started a few years earlier than you... In terms of Taoism and cultivation, how can I compare with you? Today, the king declares you I entered the palace, and I don't know what it is." He changed the subject and talked about serious matters.

"It must be you and me who are in trouble." Shen Gongbao naturally knew what was going to happen, so he had to remind Jiang Ziya: "Brother, after we go in later, no matter what the king asks you or me to do, just agree."

"Why?" Jiang Ziya was very surprised.

"There's a reason for it." Shen Gongbao didn't want to explain to him, so he walked forward.Jiang Ziya was stunned for a while, he was not very proficient in the ways of the world, seeing that Shen Gongbao was confident, he sighed and followed him.

Sure enough, after the two had finished saluting, King Zhou ordered someone to show them the map of the deer platform.Jiang Ziya scolded the faint emperor in his heart, and was about to speak out to persuade him, when Shen Gongbao gently pulled the corner of his clothes.Suddenly remembered what Shen Gongbao said earlier, Jiang Ziya kept silent and became more and more disappointed with King Zhou.

"I'm going to hand over this project to the two gentlemen for a period of ten days. I don't know what you want?" King Zhou asked slowly under Daji's instruction.

"Thank you for your great love." Shen Gongbao agreed with all his mouth: "Pindao and Senior Brother Jiang will definitely build the deer platform for the king without a single soldier!"

King Zhou was taken aback, and Su Daji behind the curtain was also surprised.Squinting his eyes and looking at Shen Gongbao and Jiang Ziya for a moment, King Zhou suddenly smiled and said: "Then I will leave it to the two lovers, and there will be a big reward after the matter is done!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Shen Gongbao pulled Jiang Ziya, who was still in the middle of the discussion, to lean over to thank him, and only withdrew after King Zhou left.As soon as he walked outside the hall, Jiang Ziya turned his face and said angrily: "This king trusts the villain to be stupid, why did the younger brother do this?"

"Senior brother, please listen to me speak slowly." Shen Gongbao waved his whisk casually, and said with a smile: "Senior brother, do you think it is useful to try to persuade you? Senior brother wants to be a virtuous minister, so now I have an excellent opportunity for you and me Right now—as for the Lutai, it’s enough to use Taoism to transform one to fool ordinary people, so why bother?”

He saw that Jiang Ziya was slightly awakened, but he just sneered in his heart.

***

On the night of the full moon on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the snow that had fallen for a whole day stopped in the evening, and the surroundings were like Qionggong Langyuan, and with the silver light of the full moon, it looked even more beautiful and flawless.Concubine Su of Shouxian Palace didn't have the heart to appreciate the beautiful scenery, she was only thinking about tonight's banquet, and rectifying Shen Gongbao and the two of them.

When they got off the chariot at the deer platform, both King Zhou and Su Daji were shocked by the sight in front of them.I saw that the deer platform made by Shen Gongbao and Jiang Ziya is more beautiful and magnificent than in the painting.Abigan came to meet him and invited King Zhou into Lutai.I saw that the banquet that Su Daji requested had already been arranged properly, and even she couldn't find any fault.

Su Daji was secretly startled, but she couldn't find fault with it.King Zhou was very satisfied and ordered Bigan to stay with him for a drink.Because there are only 39 goblins in Xuanyuan Tomb who are proficient in the art of transformation, only 39 seats were set up.In the middle of the night, he really changed into a human form, set up a cloud and flew towards Chaoge City.

After Yushi Pipa and Hu Ximei suffered innocently, Su Daji was once neglected in the Xuanyuan Tomb.Seeing this prosperous scene today, and being treated with good wine and good meat, all the monsters temporarily lost their hostility towards Su Daji, and turned to flattery.

After drinking for three rounds, everyone is already drunk.Su Daji was about to persuade King Zhou to go to bed, when suddenly he heard the messenger say: "King, Concubine Su, and Empress Su are waiting outside the deer platform."

King Zhou was still in his mind at this time, and Wen Zhi just frowned: "She's here? Well, she's also a lonely queen, so let her come in!" Thinking that all the fairies who came here were Daji's fellow fairies, Jiang Wenyu would definitely not come up with something. What a mess.

Su Daji's face turned cold, but King Zhou's order had been issued, but there was nothing he could do.

"My concubine pays homage to Your Majesty, and I wish you all the best." Not long after, Jiang Wenyu arrived with the palace servants.Seeing her submissive attitude and keeping herself in order these days, King Zhou waved his hand: "Since the queen wants to come here, let's set up a seat."

Jiang Wenyu thanked him for being seated, and King Zhou said again: "Today I have invited Concubine Su's old sisters alone, all of whom are disciples of Empress Nuwa. If the queen gets a chance or two from this, it will be your blessing."

"Yes, I would like to follow the king's instructions." Jiang Wenyu replied with a low eyebrow, only thinking it was funny.All the monsters in the hall were suddenly said to be Nuwa's disciples. I don't know how Nuwa herself would react when she found out?She toasted King Zhou with a glass of wine, and then casually looked at all the demons in the palace.At this time, Yabigan was drinking with him, and one of the monsters said, "Since it is a destiny to come to this meeting, I will give you a thousand years of life."

Bigan looked like he couldn't laugh or cry at this time, it was a pity that he was sent by King Zhou to accompany him to drink, but he was such a monster.

She persuaded King Zhou to have a few drinks, which surprised King Zhou.Concubine Su also wanted to get King Zhou drunk, and the two coincided with each other.Su Daji has been furious ever since Jiang Wenyu came in, and when she rolled her eyes, she had a plan in her heart, so she said with a low smile, "I have a sister who is proficient in reckoning, how about doing the math for the queen?"

Before Jiang Wenyu could respond, King Zhou turned his head to look at her with great interest: "Gu thinks this is a good idea! Queen, why don't you let the fairy do the math?"

"Then I would like to thank the King and Sister Su for their kindness." She had no choice but to say flatly.Immediately a monster came up, sizing up Jiang Wenyu with bluff for a while, covered his mouth and shouted repeatedly: "The poor don't dare to say it, the poor don't dare!"

"If you don't dare to say it, then don't say it!" Jiang Wenyu said coldly.

"Why does the empress need to be angry?" Su Da smiled when she heard it, and said coquettishly: "Every life has its destiny, wealth and honor are in the sky - it is also good for the empress to make preparations in advance." The meaning of this is self-evident.

"My concubine's words are justified, what is the queen worried about!" King Zhou also echoed.Soothe her symbolically: "Everything is up to Gu!"

It is thanks to you.

The monster said: "The queen's blessings are shallow, I'm afraid it won't be long..." She hesitated for a long time before arriving: "If the empress repents from now on, maybe the heavens will have mercy on the empress."

Jiang Wenyu laughed back angrily: "Repent, please tell me what I have done? There is nothing to be afraid of the meager blessings. I will build a coffin and put it in the palace today. Let's see who uses it first!"

When she said those words, all the demons were startled.King Zhou's face was uncertain, and he said for a long time: "The queen is serious. I will ignore this matter. Fairies, please continue to drink and have fun." Contempt for royal authority.

Su Daji rushed to save the scene, only to see her holding up a cup and smilingly said: "Yes, Your Majesty is full of this cup."

The feast at Lutai continued, the only strange thing was that King Zhou drank very much today.At the beginning, Bigan was allowed to accompany him because of his drinking capacity, but at this time, the most normal-looking people in the palace were probably King Zhou and Jiang Wenyu.Bigan just toasted the demons with all his heart, and gradually, even Su Daji became drunk.

The more King Zhou drank, the more sober he became, but he didn't know it.Seeing that Su Daji and all the demons were drunk, he just smiled and said, "Aifei and all the fairies are not even as good as Gu's drinker today? Haha!"

"How dare this concubine compete with the king in terms of drinking capacity." Su Daji was so weak that even trying to soothe the hangover with demon methods would be useless for a while.She was secretly anxious, lest these sisters show their prototypes after drinking.So he insisted and said: "It's getting late today, how about inviting the sisters back to the cave?"

She was drunk, but unfortunately King Zhou was not there yet.King Zhou just drank without saying a word, while Jiang Wenyu said softly, "If sister Su is tired, how about going down to rest? Although my sister is the host of today's banquet, I can still do a little bit for you."

Su Daji still wanted to argue about something, but suddenly sleepiness swept over her, and she closed her eyes and fell asleep next to King Zhou.Seeing this, King Zhou had no choice but to order his maid to send Concubine Su back to Shouxian Palace, where he would have a banquet.If you ask him why he didn't accompany Daji back home, the reason is mainly because of Jiang Wenyu's words just now——

"His Majesty left so early, how can he seek the way of longevity from all the fairies? I heard that these immortals love to test me and other mortals to see if they have the heart to seek Tao. I would like to be with the King, just want to get something Chance."

Therefore, King Zhou will not leave easily if his purpose has not been achieved.

The wind howled outside the hall, and the night deepened.All the monsters couldn't hold back their drunkenness and collapsed on the table, some of them even showed their tails.Jiang Wenyu left the meeting with an excuse, and waited for the opportunity outside the hall with cold eyes.At this time, the moon was shining in the middle, King Zhou looked around and saw this scene, he couldn't help being furious, got up and reprimanded: "Where are you evildoers, you even sneaked into the lonely deer platform, pretending to be a fairy!"

Those monsters spit out the truth when they were drunk, all of them winking like silk, and laughed loudly: "Hey, Your Majesty, Your Majesty... Our sisters are no worse than Nadaji, why don't you keep us... Hahaha, seal it up as you like!" A concubine, a concubine, it's much better than being in Xuanyuan Tomb, hahaha..."

"You!" King Zhou's heart was burning with anger, he waved away the fox demon that was entangled with him, and covered his mouth and nose: "Come here, Bigan, queen, where are you?"

Bigan and Jiang Wenyu watched coldly outside the hall, now is not the time to go out.King Zhou pushed away a fox that showed his true colors, and immediately another fox demon entangled him, and in the blink of an eye, more foxes surrounded him...including pheasant spirits and other monsters.I don't know who took the candlestick as fine wine, just took it and waved it at King Zhou...

"Come here, help me!" Even though King Zhou was not drunk, how could he defeat the obsession of so many monsters?All of them were pulling his robes or pinching their faces, and what's more, they smelled King Zhou greedily, thinking about where to start.The foul smell of these foxes entered King Zhou's nose, and he almost passed out.

"Go away!" Another fox in robes approached him with a flattering smile holding a candlestick. King Zhou waved the candlestick away impatiently, and it happened to land near the curtain. After a while, the fire raged and black smoke billowed. .

Yabigan rescued King Zhou who was about to fall into the sea of ​​fire like falling from the sky.

The wind howled tonight, and in the blink of an eye, Lutai was already on fire, and screams were everywhere.Jiang Wenyu had already ordered to evacuate all the palace people from Lutai, and the surrounding area was surrounded by the Taoism performed by Shen Gongbao. At this time, all the demons fled everywhere, but they could not escape.After King Zhou came out of Lutai, he fainted from fright. Jiang Wenyu handed him over to the witch doctor and ordered him to be sent back to his bedroom.

The deer platform was originally created by simple spells. At this time, it burned extremely fast along with the wind. When the last spark disappeared, none of the monsters present survived.Jiang Wenyu glanced at the ruins expressionlessly, and ordered the palace people to remain as they were.

"Now I have to trouble you." She smiled slightly, raised her eyes and gently glanced at Shen Gongbao, Jiang Ziya, and Yabigan: "The Xuanyuan Tomb outside the city is still a trouble - it's been freezing lately, no matter what Whether it's the ministers of the court or the princes of the four directions, they all need robes and jackets to keep out the cold, don't they?"

"I will definitely live up to my mother's entrustment." Everyone nodded in agreement, and then rushed to Xuanyuan Tomb outside the city.

The bright moon gradually receded behind the clouds, and Jiang Wenyu stood there motionless, unaware of the cold.She glanced at the ruins, and thought of the old basin in her memory - all 72 people in Changle Palace died in it.

"The hatred between us is really endless." She was silent for a moment, then sighed.Standing under the cold moon at this time, I just feel lonely.The hatred that was entwined in his heart also dissipated at this moment.

Tomorrow is the final blow.
