[Honghuang] After dressing as the goddess of laurel, I came to Honghuang again

"No, we all know that Prometheus is called a wise man. He can survive as a Titan god, which proves that he is absolutely smart and knows how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. But he should never, never should, and put his mind on calculations The eagle on the Caucasus mountain will make his body suffer, but his soul will not." Artemis can get Zeus's favor not only because of her and Apollo's strength, but also because of her love for Zeus. There is enough understanding in my heart.

"So what does Father God want to do?"

"Of course it made Prometheus suffer mentally." Artemis said of course, "He lied to the Father God for those humans, how could the Father God let him go so easily, not only did not let him go, those humans also the same."

Apollo was curious: "Then what is he going to do? Destroy human beings directly?" It's not like Zeus didn't do this before.Because the silver humans were too useless to do anything well, Zeus thought they were annoying and directly destroyed the silver humans.

But the new human beings did not make mistakes on the surface, so Zeus had to find a reason to destroy them, right?Moreover, human belief is also a good thing, and these gods are not willing to give up easily.The human beings newly created by Prometheus are already a relatively complete group, but they have a small shortcoming, that is, they respect Prometheus more.

"Father God naturally has his own reasons. I only know that he wants to create a beautiful woman, an extremely beautiful woman, and present it to Epimetheus. He only asks for that woman to be absolutely beautiful and have the ability to attract Epimetheus. Then I gave that woman Curiosity. By the way, I heard her name is Pandora."

Shang Zhi quietly absorbed the branches and leaves of their godheads.

Pandora?

It is said that Pandora opened the magic box given to it by the gods out of curiosity, and then released all kinds of disaster-causing things inside. Since then, human society has become chaotic.

That Epimetheus, if he remembers correctly, seems to be the younger brother of Prometheus, right?

Zeus's move was really murderous.

It's a pity that he is just a laurel plant that cannot move, and he cannot inform Prometheus.Besides, if Epimetheus really accepts Pandora, is it possible that he can keep holding her hand to prevent him from opening the box?

Just like the story of Blue Beard, the more suppressed the curiosity, the more exuberant it is, and finally it will bring disaster to people.

Apollo sighed: "This is too cruel for Prometheus. It is impossible for those human beings to escape the scheme of the Father God."

"Who made those human beings weak? They have no strength to resist. Prometheus spoiled them. You know, it is easy for us to crush them to death, but Prometheus reduced the offerings for them to harm the interests of the gods, If you are not obedient, then change to a group of obedient ones." Artemis said cruel words, but her face was still pure and beautiful.

At that time, Shang Zhi only thought of his own experience from this, and became even more disgusted with the domineering and arrogance of the gods. At this time, when he re-read this passage, he had a different idea.

After Pandora, humans were drowned by Zeus in a flood because of unscrupulous battles.In the end, only Deucalion and Pyrrha survived under the guidance of Prometheus.

In essence, it is still too weak.Prometheus was brave and fearless, but it only brought them temporary benefits, but he still didn't survive the disaster in the end.

People still have to go through trials and find ways to become stronger and get rid of the shackles.

As Yuan Shi said, no one can help them all the time, and ultimately they have to rely on themselves. All Shang Zhi can do is inspire and help them from the side.

Just like he was warned by the way of heaven when he reminded Nuwa to create a new soul, but he was let go by taking Hongjun as an example to inspire the teaching of Sanqing.

Inspiration and inducement are fine, but turning on the cheating device and copying the answers directly is really harmful and not beneficial.

Good thoughts cannot be lost, but excessive good thoughts are not desirable.

After this thought, Shang Zhi woke up suddenly, and the good corpse had already been cut out by it.Compared with the evil corpse, the good corpse was cut out more smoothly, and soon flew to the twelfth-rank black lotus in front of him.

He felt relieved, and after picking up the twelfth-grade Miserable Black Lotus, he looked up and met a curious big face.

Shang Zhi:!

He leaned back abruptly, and he was slightly relieved when he saw that the owner of that face was Styx, and then he asked puzzledly, "Didn't fellow Taoist go to collect treasures from heaven, material and earth? Why are you back?"

Still staring at him.

If this is a person with a bad attitude, it will really scare people to death.

Ming He didn't speak, but looked at his appearance carefully, and said after a long while: "You feel that Daoist is slightly different from before?" He looks stronger, and his temperament is more calm.

Shang Zhi said with a smile: "It's lucky, I beheaded the good corpse just now."

Styx was startled.He really didn't expect that Shang Zhi would kill three corpses so fast. He just went out for a while, and when he came back, he chopped up another corpse.Now, after counting, Shang Zhi has already beheaded two corpses, and he only needs to behead the last corpse, and then the three corpses will be merged, and the merits and virtues will be complete.

Styx felt a little sour in his heart.Otherwise, he has received so much attention, and he has made good friends with the saint again.This talent is also first-class in Honghuang.

But it doesn't matter, he is about to be sanctified!

With the mentality of showing off, Minghe said happily: "I came here because the treasures of heaven and earth are ready? I just want you to see if it is feasible."

Shang Zhi was puzzled, really curious about the materials he found.

Styx took him to the side of the sea of ​​blood, where Kunpeng was guarding a pile of dead souls, but he didn't look very happy, with a cold face all the time.After seeing Ming He and Shang Zhi coming back, he asked, "Why are you so slow?"

Ming He waved his hand: "Didn't I go to invite Fellow Daoist Shang Zhi? It turned out that he was beheading the corpse, so I waited for a while."

Kunpeng looked at Shang Zhi in shock.Obviously, he was also shocked by Shang Zhi's speed of killing corpses.

He looked at Shang Zhi's strength again, and found that it was somewhat unfathomable.If they met at this time, Kunpeng had a hunch that he was definitely not Shang Zhi's opponent.

Rejoicing in his heart that he didn't offend Shang Zhi, Kunpeng got up, and the coldness on his face disappeared a little.

He has always been the best at weighing the pros and cons, and if he finds that Shang Zhi can't deal with it, he will naturally have to please him a bit.

Shang Zhi's eyes fell on those dead souls, pointing at the dead souls, he was amazed: "You create living beings, what do you want these dead souls for?"

Styx said: "Of course I have my own reasons for doing this. Daoist friends may think that I want to create new souls just talking casually, but who knows, my heart of sanctification is also firm. After that day, I thought about it for a long time. I believe that the art of creation is inferior to Nuwa Saint. Even she has failed so many times, let alone me? So I thought of another way to start with these dead souls."

"Oh?" Shang Zhi became interested.He admitted that he had always thought that Styx did these things for nonsense, but now that Styx expressed his position, his mentality has also changed.

He still doesn't think Styx can succeed, but he also admits that Styx's attitude is worthy of recognition.

"It's also a coincidence that these dead souls were born after the death of creatures that already existed, so based on them, it is more likely to create new creatures by merging with my sea of ​​blood. I also asked Whether they are willing to appear in a new identity or not, they all admit it. After all, even if they don't agree, if they keep wandering, they will eventually lose their will and dissipate in the world. It's better to work under me and help me achieve meritorious deeds. "

Shang Zhi nodded, his eyes flicked over the faces of these dead souls.After a while, he paused, stared in one direction and walked over.

These dead souls were carefully selected by Styx, and most of them have not lost their sanity.When Shang Zhi shuttled around them, the aura on his body silenced the undead, and he dared not say a word.

Shang Zhi passed them to his destination, staring at the two dead souls in front of him.He won't admit it wrong, although most of the dead souls here are in the transformed form, but he still recognizes at a glance that these in front of him are actually human beings.

These human beings looked very young, most of them were young men and women, and their expressions were ignorant. When they saw Shang Zhi standing in front of them, they felt nervous again after they died.

If it was before, Shang Zhi might have been more nervous and careful, but after cutting off his good thoughts, his reason immediately prevailed.He cannot directly intervene in these matters.But it's okay to know what dangers the human race encountered.

"What did you encounter in your life, why did you lose your life at such a young age?"

The dead soul had a painful expression on his face when he heard that he was dead.They seemed to be recalling what they had encountered, and then sobbed softly.

Shang Zhi didn't make a sound, and when they calmed down, they heard the woman among them say: "The two clans of the Lich are fighting together, and we are implicated. They didn't directly target us, but they are too strong. We They couldn't fight against the two races at all, and were killed by mistake in the end."

"All were killed by mistake?" Shang Zhi frowned.

The man also reacted, nodded and said: "You can't say that, it seems that they deliberately chose the cave where we live, or they don't care if we die at all." The man clenched his hands, as if he could still remember The feeling of powerlessness in the face of death.

Shang Zhi understood, and returned to Ming He thoughtfully.

"Why, are you interested in those dead souls?" Styx asked curiously, taking a few glances at the dead souls.

"The two Lich clans are fighting?" Shang Zhi asked, "I remember that the monster clan hadn't yet taken shape before I came to the Blood Sea, right?"

This time it was Kunpeng who answered: "The Monster Clan was only established during this time, and Di Jun is recruiting troops. Before the Wu Clan was strong, many creatures were persecuted by them. After Di Jun established the Monster Clan, he immediately led The people fought a few victories, which greatly increased the momentum of the monster clan."

Shang Zhi wondered how he knew so much.

Kunpeng said coldly: "They invited me to be a demon teacher before." It's just that Kunpeng still wanted to become a saint, and he was not interested in being a demon master to work for Di Jun.

Shang Zhi understood.At the same time, he had a bad premonition that things were about to get out of control.He can't stay here any longer, at least he has to go back and find out about Hong Huang's current situation, and make preparations early if something unexpected happens.

This involves when Styx finished creating creatures.

He glanced at Styx, and rarely urged his progress: "Are you going to start?"

Styx said: "Start, start now." Isn't he also in a hurry?If it wasn't for Shang Zhi's interest in those dead souls, he would have to hurry up.

"Then I will protect the law for you." Shang Zhi nodded, looked around, found a suitable place to land on it, and then sat down cross-legged.

Kunpeng sat in the opposite corner.

The two looked at Styx at the same time, wondering if he could accomplish his goal.Among them, Kunpeng paid more attention to it, staring at Styx.Staring at Styx impatiently, he turned around and said, "Why are you more nervous than me, you can see that I have no thoughts in my head."

Kunpeng was speechless, and closed his eyes directly, reciting the incantation of pure heart in his heart.

As for Shang Zhi, he had already started to sit on the lotus platform, and his cultivation was solid.

Styx took a deep breath, and then his eyes froze.Red flames flashed in his eyes, Styx forgot to glance at the dead souls on the bank, and silently recited the method of creation he had created recently.As the words fell, the souls of the dead on the shore threw themselves into the sea of ​​blood and were drowned by the churning blood.

Shang Zhi opened his eyes, paused when he saw this scene, and closed his eyes for a while.

This is the choice of the dead souls, and the final result depends on them.

After an unknown amount of time, the sea of ​​blood boiled again.Startled the three of them at the same time.

Most of Shang Zhi's cultivation had been consolidated, so he took the lotus platform away to see the creatures born in the sea of ​​blood.Groups of blood fetus-like things emerged from the sea of ​​blood, and then the blood fetus split open, and new creatures were born from it.

They look different, the men are ugly, the women are beautiful, but they are all powerful.He was born with a Golden Immortal cultivation base.They looked at Styx, saluted respectfully, and called out their ancestors.

Styx succeeded, and the laughter continued.He looked at the creatures born in front of him, and gave them the names he had prepared long ago.

"I am Styx, who founded the Asura Clan and established the Asura Cult. I am the leader..." Styx said a lot with pride, and then looked at the sky expectantly.

There was silence in the sea of ​​blood for a while, and the heaven and the earth finally descended on merit, falling on Styx and the Asura clan.

Styx was overjoyed and quickly absorbed the merit.Even Kunpeng couldn't help standing up, staring at Styx and the newly born Asura clan in amazement.

Could it be that Styx really succeeded?

Shang Zhi frowned, bathed in the golden rain of merit, but remained silent.He has experienced the merits of saint sanctification four times, which can be regarded as some experience.He is even more aware of how many merits and virtues there are during the sanctification period.

The merits of Styx who created the Asura clan and then established a religion are too little, and it is not enough to support his sanctification.

It's just that it's impossible for Shang Zhi to say these words clearly, otherwise Ming He thought he was cursing him.

It's just that the merits and virtues disappeared, and after Styx woke up from the increase in strength, he didn't need Shang Zhi to remind him that he had already had a long face and was depressed.

His sanctification failed.

"I'm really suffering. I've done so much for sanctification, but it's useless in the end. There are so many sanctifications, why can't I be the only one?" The jug in front of Styx emptied one after another.The tens of thousands of years old man was crying with snot and tears.There is no such a high-spirited appearance of the ancestor of the Asura Sect, the ancestor of Styx.

Shang Zhi also understood.

After all, I have worked hard, and my merits have come down, but there is nothing I can do about it being unsatisfactory.

With merit, Styx's strength has entered the pinnacle of quasi-sage, but it is not a word difference from becoming a saint.Under this threshold, I don't know how many monks were stopped.

That's why Styx collapsed like this.

False success, nothing more than that.

But he didn't have time to stay here with Styx to be decadent. Now that the test results have been proved, he also plans to leave.

It's just that saying it right now would be a bit of a pain in Minghe's heart, so let's wait for him to calm down a bit.

In the corner, Kunpeng did not participate in their topic.The shadow of the room enveloped him, Kunpeng looked gloomy, and was also drinking.

Styx's method failed, and Kunpeng didn't know whether it was because the merit he had done was not enough, or because he was short of something.For example... that ray of majestic purple air.

If it hadn't been for that incident back then, Primordial Purple Qi should have been in his hands.

Even the extra strand had nothing to do with him.

Kunpeng thought of the news he had inquired about recently.That Hongyun obtained the primordial purple energy, but did not make much progress in cultivation, and went out to play every day, wasting the treasure for nothing.

If this purple energy was in his hands, he would have been sanctified by practicing diligently.

With an idea in mind, Kunpeng raised his head and took a sip of the mulled wine, and when he put down the glass, his expression became somewhat hostile.

Shang Zhi met his gaze, then frowned slightly.Is it his illusion?I always felt that Kunpeng had killing intent just now.

When Shang Zhi looked at it again, Kunpeng's expression was already very normal, and he didn't think much about it, he just thought it was because the light was too dim just now that he had an illusion.

After a few days, Styx woke up from his drunkenness, and Shang Zhi proposed to leave.

"It's okay, Fellow Daoist has indeed been wasting time with me recently, if you are busy, go back first." Ming He still looked gloomy, and his tone was no longer as brisk as before.

Shang Zhi suppressed his smile, nodded, and turned to leave.

After staying in the netherworld for a long time, I haven't seen the light for a long time.When he was out of the sea of ​​blood and the sun was shining on his body, Shang Zhi suddenly felt very comfortable.Stretching, Shang Zhi returned to Lunar Star.

He didn't send any news when he came back this time, so neither Yuying nor Kong Xuan knew about it.After Shang Zhi went back, he found that the Taiyin star was empty, and he probably went out to play.

But on the laurel tree where the lunar star stands, there are three jade slips.It was something Shang Zhi gave to his friends. If they wanted to find him and he was not around, they would hang the jade slip on the laurel tree, and they would find it when Shang Zhi came.

Shang Zhi raised his hand to take down the jade slip.These three jade slips come from three different parties.

Shang Zhi first opened the first jade slip. It was Nuwa's news that the ashram 33 days away had been repaired, and he was invited to be a guest.

The second jade slip came from Sanqing, and it also said that it was news from the Taoist temple, and the meaning was similar to that of Nuwa, inviting him to go and play.

Shang Zhi put away the first two jade slips, but was a little surprised when he opened the third one.The third jade slip was sent by Yingzhao, saying that he had something important to discuss with him in detail, if he saw the jade slip, he must go to the Land of Hundred Flowers to talk to them.

Judging by the tone of his voice, he was about to discuss some important matter, so Shang Zhi simply accepted the first two jade slips, planning to go to the Land of Hundred Flowers first.After all, it's okay to be invited to visit the dojo. It's the news of Yingzhao that makes him a little concerned.

Shang Zhi first sent a message to Yingzhao, and waited for Yingzhao's response before rushing towards the Land of Hundred Flowers.

It is still the same as what Shang Zhi saw for the first time, there is not much difference.The flowers are in full bloom, delicate and charming.

Yingzhao has been guarding outside, and when he saw Shang Zhi's figure, he hurriedly greeted him happily: "You are here, I heard from your little girl that you went to Minghe, and I am still wondering when you will come back .”

Shang Zhi asked: "You said you have something important to do with me, what is it?"

Yingzhao glanced around to make sure there was no one around, and then said, "You go in with me first, we'll talk when we get there."

His mysterious appearance made Shang Zhi a little curious.Arriving at the gazebo in the center, Shang Zhi found that Bai Ze and Lu Wu were there, and when they saw Shang Zhi, they cupped their hands.

When the two sides met, Shang Zhi asked the reason again.

Yingzhao glanced at Bai Ze and motioned for him to speak for himself.It was Bai Ze's suggestion to call Shang Zhi over.

Bai Ze smiled, and met Shang Zhi's puzzled expression and said, "Fellow Daoist has been in Netherworld for a long time, how much do you know about the things on the prehistoric land?"

"I heard that Di Jun has established a demon clan, and there are still many big demons with great strength under the tree?" Shang Zhi only said what he knew, "The Lich has had several frictions recently, and the demon clan has won a lot. Let many creatures decide to join the demon clan?"

Bai Ze nodded, and then sighed: "To tell the truth, fellow daoist, Di Jun also had contact with the three of us, but we thought there would be a better choice, so we rejected his invitation, and his proposition was indeed in line with ours. Wait does not match."

"A better choice?" Shang Zhi was wondering what the better choice was, when they saw their eyes falling on him.

Shang Zhi: ...

Pointing at himself, he asked awkwardly, "You're not talking about me, are you?"

Bai Ze smiled.

Shang Zhi couldn't believe it.What Bai Ze said was really him.However, he did not immediately refute, but asked his doubts: "Why me?"

He and Bai Ze have never met each other.

"Of course it's because of the strength and character of Daoist friend." Bai Ze said, "We don't want to follow someone who fights everywhere and brings blood. If we choose you, we shouldn't expand our power unscrupulously and make people miserable."

Bai Ze frowned and said: "Originally the Great Desolation was considered peaceful, but now the two clans of the Lich are in chaos, and if the third clan ends up in the end, no one will benefit, so I hope to have a powerful one who is not afraid of the two clans of the Lich." People from the clan stand up and set aside a living place for the creatures who don't want to get involved in the battle."

"It sounds thankless, and how can you be sure that I can stop the Lich Clan? If I don't go through this muddy water, I should be safer. With my strength, it is very difficult not to participate in the dispute between the Lich Clan. It's easy." Shang Zhi didn't agree immediately, but asked instead, "But if I really set up such a force, then I will definitely be noticed by the Lich Clan. At that time, I will face ten The Second Ancestor Lich and the demon clan forces. Who knows that they won't concentrate the conflict on me alone, solve me first, and then settle the conflict between the Lich clan and the two clans?"

Bai Ze was silent for a moment, and then suddenly asked: "If you are really not interested, then you should have refused me just now, instead of asking me so many questions. To a certain extent, you should be tempted."

Shang Zhi noticed the change in his address and raised his eyebrows, but he still said, "I need a reason to convince me."
