This is Fengshen, what's the use of hard work

Chapter 257 The Land of Miasma, the Southern Capital Manjing (22)

Miao Jiang.

It is located in the south of Nandu, separated from Nandu by a mountain and eighteen cities.

This mountain is called Jinting Mountain.

Jinting Mountain is high and steep, connected by clouds and mist, and it looks like a golden court under the sun.

The mountain is full of fairy air, hundreds of Taoist temples, palaces, and ancestral gardens are all over it, and the beautiful scenery is repeated, and the atmosphere is myriad.

A piece of luck from the immortal sect soared into the sky, traversed the sky, and the fortune was endless.

Above the mountain gate, there are four characters inscribed in seal script of Immortal Dao.

Daoxing Xianzong.

This place is one of the eighteen Heavenly Dao Immortal Sects, Yuwu Cave in Jinting Mountain.

Sovereign of the Immortal Sect, Daoxing Tianzun.

Yuxu Twelve Golden Immortals No.11.

Within a radius of thousands of miles of Jinting Mountain, the aura of heaven and earth is extremely rich, nourishing all living beings, and the luck of heaven covers the four fields, isolating the luck of the world from the fairyland.

Under the luck of heaven, eighteen cities are scattered.

In every city, there is a celestial platform, on which stands a piece of exquisite immortal jade.

This celestial jade can test the roots of human race to determine whether it has the spiritual root of cultivating immortals.

After the fall of the Immortal Sect, the rich aura continuously lured the human races of Nandu and Miaofang to come to the Immortal Realm.

at this time.

The first city on the border of Dashang was named Yuezhou City.

On the Immortal Ascension Platform in Yuezhou City, there is a fairy sitting.

This person is neither vulgar nor Taoist. He wears a helmet, wears a Taoist uniform, and holds a magic pestle in his hand.

Standing beside him is the Lord of Yuezhou City, who is one of the eight surnames of Manjing Zhurong and the son of the Fuxiong family.

Xiong Li.

Xiong Li was dressed in the City Lord's Mansion bestowed by the Taoist Immortal Sect, holding a whisk that symbolized the authority of the City Lord, and stood beside the immortal. In front of him were hundreds of Yuecheng youths who had just turned twelve, and they were testing their immortal roots on the Ascension to Immortal Terrace.

Ascension to Xiantai.

There are a few eyes that are different from ordinary people, looking at the piece of jade that determines the fate of the human race, and there is a lot of clarity hidden in the pretended envy.

After half an hour.

The test of this batch of Yuecheng youths was completed.

A total of 78 people have the roots of cultivating immortals and can enter the immortal sect.

There are 12 people with excellent bones, who can be admitted to the upper immortal sect, 48 people with superior bones, who can enter the lower immortal sect, and 18 people with inferior bones, who can become secular disciples.

Xiong Li immediately ordered the list to be posted to inform the whole city and surrounding villages.

He then looked at the immortal holding the magic pestle and said:
"Prince Wei Hu, recently more than a hundred people from the Miao family came to my fairyland in order to seek immortality and visit Taoism."

"Is it time to test them?"

Wei Hu's gaze remained unchanged, looking at the twelve young men with excellent bones, he said:
"Go and test."

"Take those with roots up the mountain, and those without roots, let them go back to Miaofang, and bring a hundred more people, and they will become the secular disciples of my Tao Xingxian sect."

Xiong Li nodded, pondered for a moment, and said: "Today, no one left the country in Dashang. Counting the time, it is already the seventh day."

Only then did Wei Hu raise his gaze, looking at the place where Heaven's luck collided, frowned, and said:

"Di Xin is not someone who just sits and waits to die."

"It's impossible for him to sit back and watch Master's revelation spread among the world."

"but."

"He can stop it for a while, but he can't stop it for a lifetime."

"Even if he has all kinds of abilities, it is impossible for him to stop the original intention of all living beings to seek immortality and Taoism."

"This is human nature."

After Wei Hu finished speaking, he stood up, and with a wave of his hand, a boat pierced the air and fell from the clouds. It was surrounded by immortal energy, sandalwood was used as a board, and jade was inlaid. It looked like an immortal.

His eyes fell on the selected young man, and he frowned and said, "Get on board and return to the sect."

After Wei Hu's words fell, these teenagers turned their heads to look at their family members, then turned around and boarded the boat that determined their fate.

There was a flash of immortal light on Wei Hu's body, and he appeared at the bow of the boat in an instant, and the boat under his feet soared into the air, pierced through the sea of ​​clouds, and flew towards the Taoist sect of Jinting Mountain.

When the fairy boat landed in the Jinting Mountain sect.

Dao Xing Xianzong's luck was shocked, and it actually rose a little.

After the young man from Yuezhou City got off the fairy boat, he looked at the fairy palaces around him, and he was only shocked and delighted.

But they dared not speak out.

It's too quiet here, and the rumbling wind has a sense of immortality, lest it disturb the immortals here.

Wei Hu frowned and said:
"Now is the time for Master to preach. When you come here for the first time, you should go to the back mountain hut to settle down temporarily. We will make arrangements at Maoshi tomorrow."

After Wei Hu's words fell, two young Taoist priests in Taoist robes had already greeted them, bowed and saluted:

"I have met senior brother Wei Hu."

Wei Hu nodded, then turned and left, and came to the Xianzong Dharma lecture hall.

at this time.

Daoxing Xianzong sat at the top of the hall, with hundreds of futons, and a group of disciples sat on it, listening to Daoxing Tianzun's preaching.

Seeing Wei Hu's return, Daoxing Tianzun stopped teaching the Dharma and said:
"how?"

Wei Hu replied respectfully: "Only twelve people with excellent bones."

Daoxing Tianzun nodded and said:

"You should also visit the other dozen cities."

"You two senior brothers were captured in the First Battle of Xiqi, and you are the senior senior brother of the Dao Xing Xianzong. Don't let my sect lose face in the fairyland."

Wei Hu bowed to accept the order, but frowned and said:

"Master, Dashang has not left the country for seven days..."

"I heard from my disciples that Di Xin traveled across mountains and rivers on foot, visited Kyushu, and traveled south to preach."

"Is it related to it?"

Dao Xing Tianzun glanced at Wei Hu, couldn't help but frowned, and said quietly: "Di Xin, your master and ancestor have their own schemes. Just obey your orders."

Wei Hu heard the words, turned and left.

Daoxing Tianzun said lightly, "Shun Nan was on a hunting tour and collapsed in the wild of Cangwu."

……

Southern Capital.

The land of wild thorns.

There are mountains and rivers everywhere, and the mountains are continuous. It has the atmosphere of the Central Plains and the poisonous miasma of the Miaojiang.

The hometown of Nandu, a city that has stood in the south of the river since the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, guarded the land of Sanxiang.

The name is Jingzhou.

Yu planned Kyushu, and Jingzhou began.

Jingzhou, like Jizhou, is a city that has inherited the name of Kyushu.

Nandu abolished enfeoffment and established prefectures and counties.

Jingzhou became Jiangling County, and Eshun, the son of Nanbohou, took the position of the first county governor.

at this time.

In the Jiangling County Government Office, Wen Zhong sat at the head, and E Shun, the county guard, stood on the side. Looking at the map of Man Jing in front of him, he asked:
"Uncle Shi, the southern capital... is mostly a place with thin soil, shallow water, overgrown trees, and venomous snakes. Here, miasma breeds and it is not suitable for living."

"Your Majesty, why do you have to stay here, why is this impossible?"

Wen Zhong's eyebrows and sky eyes have been opened. On the map of Manjing in front of him, many annotations show various poisonous snakes and beasts, miasma and poisonous mist. He said in a flat voice:
"Once His Majesty makes an order, this matter will definitely be done."

"What our courtiers have to do is to make him."

"You go to receive ten sticks as a punishment in the afternoon."

When the young Eshun heard the words, his heart trembled, and he immediately bowed and apologized.

Wen Zhong ignored him and continued:

"Your father, because he didn't want to join Miao Jiang in rebelling against business and establishing a country, that's why he was poisoned by Miao Jiang's poison. He couldn't help himself, and finally killed himself."

"Old man, although I invited Uncle Lu Yue's plague clock, it was one step too late."

"That's why I stayed."

After Wen Zhong finished speaking, he looked up at Nan Bo's only son, and said:

"That day, it was the old man who asked your father if there was a way to regain Miao territory. At that time, the southern homeland will be returned to the big merchants, and then the world will be abolished."

"But the old man put him in danger and died."

"Old man, I owe you a cause and effect to the E family."

"Eshun, it should be your duty to clear up the wasteland and clear up the miasma."

"But the old man will help you turn this miasma into a thousand miles of fertile soil, fulfilling your father's long-cherished wish."

"understand?"

Eshun bowed and said, "Nephew understands."

Wen Zhong pointed to Sanxiang and Sishui, where miasma and poisonous insects are everywhere, and said:
"Your Majesty said that there is no place in the world that is not suitable for farming, and there is no place that is not suitable for living in."

"What our human race has to do is not to avoid it, but to overcome all difficulties and conquer this land."

Eshun accepted the teaching humbly, and said, "Nephew, I'm going to receive the punishment now!"

Wen Zhong nodded, seeing that after Eshun left, the golden light in his eyes pierced the world, saw through the emptiness, and looked in all directions.

In his eyes, there were many dark daos scattered, and these daos turned into billions of daos, fell on poisonous insects and beasts, and finally manifested into a miasma that permeated the world.

The chirping and breathing of countless poisonous insects seemed to be connected together, and under the fate of the world, a destiny was condensed.

This fortune contains exhaustion and death.

Even the luck of the world cannot swallow them up and let them float on the Hundred Thousand Mountains in the Land of Wild Thorns.

Wen Zhongmu looked at Chaoge and muttered to himself:
"Once the emperor patrols the world, he will rise up like a ray of luck, and he will never retreat."

"Your Majesty wants to use this fortune to break through this miasma. I'm afraid the road ahead will be dangerous."

"Emperor Shun also visited Cangwu in the south in the past, wanting to break this miasma and kill all the poisonous insects in the mountains and forests."

"But as strong as he was, he was defeated."

……

Miao Jiang.

Qingjiangyuan.

In less than half a year, a newly built city rose up between the three green hills. At this time, the city was full of construction projects and houses were piled up.

The name of the city is Qianzhou.

After Miao Fang established his country, he established his capital here, so it was called Miao Wang City.

at this time.

On Qianzhou City, a child with pure white eyes stood on the city wall and looked into the distance. Although he has no pupils, he can see everything in the world and feel the information felt by all the insects around him.

He looked at the fairy mountain with golden light reflecting the sun thousands of miles away, and asked:
"Sister, why did the immortal help us?"

Beside him, a masked girl raised a pair of jade hands covered with worm bone bracelets and stroked his hair, saying:

"Because we are obedient."

The white-eyed childish boy said in a daze, "Why are we obedient?"

The masked girl was silent for a moment, and then said: "Because we want revenge, we want to go home, we must rely on the power of the immortal."

The white-eyed child thought for a while, and said, "It was the Xia Hou family who attacked us, but the Xia Dynasty has already perished, so who do we seek revenge from?"

The masked girl said lightly:

"Xia people have integrated into Da Shang, of course we want to seek revenge from Da Shang."

The child murmured:

"If the son of our enemy is adopted by a kind family, shall we seek revenge from them?"

The masked girl glanced at Zhitong and said:
"Well-intentioned people will not take away the land of the Xia people, nor will they take away the artifacts of the Zhou people."

"Brother, you are still young, you will gradually understand in the future."

Zhitong looked at Xianzong who was thousands of miles away, and nodded with a vague understanding.

　Xiong Li (year of birth and death unknown), surnamed Mi, the son of Xiong Xiong, whose mother is Miu Li, was the leader of the Chu people in the Western Zhou Dynasty.He had a grandson named Xiong Duo who established the Chu State, which was the first king of the Western Zhou Dynasty.

Xiong Yi's great-grandfather, Fong Xiong, served King Wen of Zhou and died very young.Xiong Yi's grandfather Xiong Li and father Xiong Kuang also served King Zhou Wu, the son of King Wen of Zhou.

When King Zhou Cheng, the son of King Wu of Zhou, was on the throne, he was grateful for the achievements of the ministers who assisted the government in the period of King Wen and King Wu of Zhou, so he promoted their descendants, and enfeoffed Xiong Yi, the great-grandson of Xiong Xiong, in the wilderness of the south, and gave him land only The title of Viscount of fifty miles, established the Chu State regime, and lived in Danyang.
