[Honghuang] Recruiting demon flags

After Fuxi left, Nuwa sat alone in the Hall of Ten Thousand Demons.

She propped her forehead, and the black robe was hanging down, spread out in the sacred seat of Chenxiang, Yuan Tingyue stood up, but there was only a long silence, as if she was a little desolate.

Until Bixia came in quietly, exchanged hot tea with her, and reminded softly: "... Your Majesty."

Nuwa seemed to wake up suddenly, put down her hand, took the tea Bixia brought, smiled at him, and took a sip.

"Your Majesty," Bixia was really worried about her condition, but he was just a boy, so he said that this topic was a bit presumptuous, so he had to think about it carefully, and said carefully: "Sage Fuxi's suggestion, my mother...do you really not consider it?"

Nuwa looked at him, but didn't answer, and she didn't mean to blame. She just asked, "Sage Fuxi also told you?"

Bixia nodded, then lowered her head and said: "The disciple was ordered by the empress to see the sage off. When parting, the sage told the disciple about this. He also said, if the empress is not sure, the disciple must be more concerned. Consolation..."

Nuwa laughed.

Bixia noticed that her mother was in a bad mood, lowered her head to make tea, hesitated for a while, and said: "My mother said earlier that there is still a glimmer of life, and what the sage Fuxi said was just that. The disciples felt that the sage Fuxi said something reasonable, that the actions of the heavens are permanent, and that all things have their own rise and fall, why should the empress..."

Nu Wa said quietly: "If it is true as he said, I will be freed if I break the demon banner by myself, but what about the demon clan?"

Bixia couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty was born in the prehistoric world. She was born with the earth and is not a demon clan. Even if she recruits the demon banner to recognize her master, the empress has taken care of the demon clan for so many years. It is considered the utmost benevolence. The demon clan... the catastrophe is coming. Declining Qi is fate, it is the way of heaven, what is it to do with your empress?"

Nuwa smiled, raised her hand, drew a water mirror in front of her, and said to Bixia, "Come and see."

Bixia hesitated for a moment, and walked to Nuwa's side.

On the other side of the water mirror is outside Chaoge City, the royal city of Yin and Shang, beside the ten-mile long pavilion, all civil and military officials sent off Shang Rong.

Nu Wa's magical power is boundless, even though she is far away, this scene is still reflected in every detail in the water mirror of the Wan Yao Temple.

Shang Rong had a very high prestige in the court, and his disciples were all over the court, so when he resigned and left the capital, naturally all the officials came to see him off.

It's just that besides the officials, there is actually an exquisite chariot next to it - the ceremonial carriage of the Sumerians of the Shouxian Palace.

Bixia froze for a moment, remembering what she saw in the water mirror last night, Daji decided to unite with Shangrong, and then thinking about the scene in front of her, she had already guessed what the fox was going to do, but she didn't understand what the empress meant, so she had to look up at Nuwa glance.

Nuwa said: "I told her that Shang Rong is a famous person on the list of gods, and he will die in the catastrophe, but she still has to try to see if she can help Shang Rong and support Yin Jiao to the top."

Bixia was taken aback.

According to his original intention, he felt that the fox was overreaching, but the empress must have a deep meaning when she mentioned it at this moment, so she had to be careful and said: "The disciple is stupid, I don't know..."

Nuwa said: "How can I not think of something that a 1000-year-old fox can think of?"

Bixia: "But that's the way of heaven..."

"The way of heaven is ruthless, and the ups and downs are constant, but all the creatures in this world have their own ideas and seek their own ways. As for the way of heaven..."

Nuwa laughed.

"I am a saint, except for divination and divination, or occasional induction, the rest of the time, I don't know the way of heaven; Bixia, you are originally the ray of light in the sky, you breathe out spiritual energy day and night, and you are born from gathering spirits. But he still doesn't know anything about arithmetic, let alone inquiring about the way of heaven. If you and I are like this, let alone ordinary creatures?"

Bixia was far from Nuwa's level of cultivation. The empress dared to talk about the way of heaven, but he didn't, so he just bowed his head and made tea.

Nuwa drank tea slowly, as if thinking, Bixia remained silent, thinking about what the empress had said before, the hall fell silent again, only the water mirror was still faithfully reflecting the picture of the world .

Today, Chaoge City in the mortal world is in the middle of winter, and there is really no scenery to see outside the city. All the officials can only take a peek at the Sumerian chariot, guessing what this person is thinking about coming here.

But the Sumerians never showed up.

Wrapped in heavy winter clothes, all the officials bid farewell to Shang Rong. After toasting the farewell wine, they prepared to watch him go away.

It was at this time that Daji got off the chariot.

She was wearing a white palace dress and complicated gold ornaments on her head, with a dignified demeanor; the palace lady Gun Chan followed her, holding wine in her hand.

The officials subconsciously bowed and avoided.

Daji walked up to Shang Rong with Gun donation, Daji called "Master" and Shang Rong called "Niang Niang". After saluting each other, Daji smiled softly and said: "Your Majesty is worried about Your Excellency, but the state affairs are busy, so I can't get away from you. , I have no choice but to let Bengong come and see you off."

——King Zhou has not been in court for a long time, and everyone knows that "the state is busy" is just an excuse.

However, it is better for the Sumerians to come than not to come. Although the ministers disdain this excuse in their hearts, they all salute and thank them in unison.

Daji smiled.

The scenery in winter is desolate, but with her smile, there is a scenery outside the city.

She stretched out her slender hands from the wide sleeves of her palace attire, picked up the wine jug from the wooden tray Gun Don was holding, filled a glass of wine, and offered it to Shang Rong with both hands, "This is specially given by the king to remember the prime minister's hard work and great achievements." The wine, with the prime minister to keep out the cold, the prime minister should drink it quickly."

When the officials seeing off heard this, their expressions all changed.

It is the most commonly used method for the king to give his ministers poisoned wine. Who knows what the stupid king of Zhou thinks, whether the wine is poisonous or not.

Shang Rong was calm and only glanced at Daji.

At this time, Daji was very close to Shang Rong, leaned slightly, and whispered in his ear: "Whatever the prime minister wants to do, just do it, and I will keep the queen safe in the palace."

Shang Rong was taking the wine bottle from her hand, his fingers trembled, and some of the wine spilled out.

Daji said "Oh", pretending to help him, but said in a softer voice: "If the prime minister can give me an exact time, I guarantee that at that time, King Zhou will not be able to separate himself from other matters. The prime minister has made up his mind, Just send someone to tell me." As he spoke, he moved his fingers slightly and pushed a ball of paper into Shang Rong's sleeve.

Shang Rong drank the wine, thanked him for the wine, and rode his horse to the east.

Daji looked at his back, a smile finally appeared on her lips.

At the end of the water mirror, Bixia and Nuwa were pouring tea, but Nuwa suddenly said, "Bixia, just look at her."

——Bixia has served the empress for many years. In his eyes, these mortals' struggles for power and intrigue are as simple and clear as the toys of a three-year-old child. He can guess what these people are thinking just by looking at the picture; As for those intrigues between the court and court, there is nothing surprising, but these people still think that they are the smartest ones, and they are very annoying to watch.

It's just that the empress has a life, but he can't help but look at it.

Bixia stared at Daji for a while, and felt that this thousand-year-old fox was indeed a beauty, with excellent temperament and temperament, but she still didn't understand what the empress meant, so she had to ask: "My empress, disciple... what do you want to see?"

Nuwa said: "She is a monster."

Bixia was still puzzled, "Indeed, it's just...why did your mother suddenly mention this matter?"

Nuwa smiled and said: "Do you see that her mind is different from that of human beings? Beasts are demons when they are enlightened, not to mention beasts. There are some treasures of heaven and earth that have lived in spiritual caves for a long time. For example, you, Bixia, When you open your mind, your thoughts and actions are no different from those of people. If one day, Bixia, you lose your mind, then you will still be the ray of light in the sky, but you will no longer be the king. Bixia boy."

Bixia already vaguely understood, put down the tea tray in her hand, opened her front skirt, and knelt down on the ground straight, "Whether it's a human being or the light of the sky, Bixia always follows the empress wholeheartedly, and only wants to serve her around."

Nu Wa sighed: "Who do you think this seat is? As long as this seat is still alive, you will never fall into a situation where you lose your sanity."

She said, but her expression became serious, "But if I let go of the monster race, after the catastrophe, the aura will decline, without the aura of heaven and earth, spiritual wisdom is water without a source, and nine out of ten monster races in the world will know it." Retiring to beasts, the remaining one or two are like candles in the wind, and can only linger on. Now you see that Daji is beautiful, intelligent, and well-behaved, but by then, she will be nothing more than a fox who can only eat flesh and blood."

She thought of Fuxi's words again, "Love is separated by mountains and seas, and mountains and seas cannot be flattened."

But if you don't even have spiritual wisdom, how can you talk about love?

Bixia couldn't help but said: "If your empress likes her, you can call her to the Wa Palace. But your empress also said that the way of heaven is ruthless, and the catastrophe is coming. There are thousands of monster races in this world, how can your empress save them?"

Nuwa stretched out her hand, and the demon banner behind Chenxiang's seat rose through the air and flew into her hand.

I don't know what kind of material the flag is made of. The long handle looks like jade but not jade, and it looks like stone but not stone. wonderful.

Nuwa pulled the golden hairpin belonging to Daji from her head.

The tip of the hairpin had been made extremely sharp by Daji for the purpose of assassination. Nuwa touched the tip of the hairpin with her own finger, and a drop of blood immediately dripped out and dripped on the demon banner.

The black banner immediately seemed to come alive, and there was a faint sound of wind and thunder, mixed with the roar of beasts, but those wind, thunder and beast roars surrounded her, cautiously, as if they were trying to please her.

This is the supreme authority of the Yaozu.

Nuwa stared at the banner in her hand, and said quietly: "I don't know, but I have to do my best in everything."

With her blood essence dripping into the demon-calling banner, it is impossible to cut off her connection with the demon-calling banner.

Bixia was still kneeling on the ground, seeing this scene, she couldn't understand that this was her mother's decision, and by the way, even the thoughts of the saint Fuxi were also broken.But it was inconvenient for him to persuade him, he just stood up, took the demon banner from Nu Wa's hand, and put it back in its original place respectfully.

After setting up the demon-calling banner, Bixia finally couldn't help but said: "My lady... No matter what, the sage Fuxi also has good intentions."

Nuwa said: "I know."

She was probably tired, or she didn't bother to hide it in front of the boy closest to her, and her words were desolate.

Bixia has been serving her for a long time, and she is the most able to figure out what the empress wants, and said: "The tea is cold, shall I go and fetch some wine with the empress?"

A sage should be pure-hearted and ascetic, but whenever the empress recalls the past, she likes to have a drink.

The corners of Nuwa's lips curled into a bitter smile, and she raised her hand halfway, probably trying to send Bixia to get the wine, but she put it down again, mocking herself: "What are you doing thinking about these things... that's all , that’s all.”

Seeing the empress's expression, Bixia felt unhappy, waved a little boy to come in, gave some instructions, the little boy ran away quickly, and soon brought the wine again, with a white fox fur neatly folded next to it.

Bixia put the wine aside, fetched the fox fur, put it on for Nuwa herself, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty is very right, don't worry too much about the past. Disciple has seen the saint Fuxi for these years, and he has been very kind to your empress. , even though the past is over, he still puts his wife in his heart."

——In the ancient prehistoric times, the sage Fuxi and the Empress Nuwa were brother and sister, with a very good relationship and high cultivation, and they were envied by others.

It's a pity that Fuxi abandoned his past for the sake of the Dao, and reincarnated to rebuild.

This kind of courage is unprecedented, and the empress supports it, but after Fuxi was reincarnated, something went wrong. Although his cultivation has improved rapidly, his magic power has reached the heavens, and he has reached the realm of a saint, but the memories of his previous life can never be found again.

Together with the human-headed snake body that was connected with the empress' blood, it was wiped out together.

Sometimes on the night of the full moon, Bixia saw the empress sitting alone on the roof of Wa Palace, with a water mirror beside her, and at the other end of the water mirror was the Emperor Fuxi of Huoyun Cave.

Her cultivation level is higher than that of Fuxi. She looks at Fuxi, but Fuxi doesn't know.

At this time, Bixia would leave quietly, not wanting the empress to know that she had been here.

He thought that many, many years ago, maybe the empress was sitting like this, looking at the prehistoric moon.

At that time, the person sitting next to her was her elder brother Fuxi, not a cold mirror.

At that time, the Yaozu was in full swing.

Although Fuxi and the empress seem to have a very good relationship now, it is the guilt of the sage Fuxi towards the empress. He recognized this sister by name, but he has long been estranged, and there is no brother and sister to match; The empress protects, I'm afraid I can't resist this catastrophe.

Bixia sighed in her heart, and came forward with the wine, saying: "Madam, this is the wine newly brewed by the sage Shennong of Huoyun Cave. His disciple specially sent someone to ask for it. I heard that it can relieve all worries. If Madam... Thinking about that one, why not try it."

Nuwa laughed, "I'm a drunkard in your heart?"

Bixia heard that the empress was in a better mood, so she also smiled and said: "How dare, the empress is a person who loves wine, drunk is also a pleasure."

Nuwa smiled, ignored Bixia's teasing, stretched out her hands to straighten her robe, and gathered the fox fur around her body, but suddenly stopped and asked, "Is this fox fur?"

Bixia didn't expect her to mention this suddenly, she was taken aback for a moment, "Yes."

Nuwa then took off the snow-white fox fur, and said to Bixia, "I am not afraid of the cold and heat. Daji is a fox demon. She came to Wa Palace and saw the same kind of fur. Bad luck. From now on, there will still be fox-fur coats in the Imperial Palace, so seal them up."
