Chapter 206 Nezha’s Mermaid Mentor (9)
Shi originally wanted to try it himself, but was afraid of being involved in too many causes and effects, which would affect his departure from this world. Nezha happened to come back at this time, and Shi turned his beads and lured Nezha to do this.
"Is there such a thing?" Nezha didn't believe it. How could the success of a country be related to pulling a cart for his uncle?
"Think about it, your uncle can fly, so why does he need Ji Chang to pull the cart? Is he trying to make things difficult for the wise leader he chose?" As Nezha heard them one by one, he felt that they made sense.
So when Ji Chang was personally pulling the cart for Jiang Ziya, Nezha touched over. When Ji Chang pulled to 500 steps, Jiang Ziya smiled. When Ji Chang pulled to 800 steps, he saw that Ji Chang was a little tired and thought it was time.
However, he did not expect to feel a strong push on his back. Ji Chang pulled Jiang Ziya and ran wildly all the way until his eyes were burned by sparks from nowhere.
Nezha was inevitably disappointed when he saw it stop, but Shiyi's eyes lit up. Ji Chang had pulled for a total of more than three thousand steps, so wasn't it just that time?
No wonder the sparks only stopped when they burned the eyes. It seems that everything is destined. I just don’t know how the world will develop in the future.
"It's God's will!" Jiang Ziya couldn't help but sigh. Even with Nezha's help, Ji Chang finally stopped. It seemed that it was really God's will.
"What do you mean, sir?" Ji Chang was curious why Jiang Ziya said it was God's will.
"You pulled my cart for 3,000 steps, and the Great Zhou Dynasty has a good fortune of 3,000 years."
Upon hearing this, Ji Chang felt that his whole body was full of strength. Unfortunately, Jiang Ziya said that it was too late. Ji Chang could only blame himself for his incompetence in disappointment.
"It doesn't matter. There is no dynasty in the world that remains unchanged for tens of millions of years. Three thousand years is already very strong." Jiang Ziya comforted him, "After all, the heavens also have to change their personnel every three thousand years."
In this way, Jiang Ziya followed Ji Chang to Chaoge and came to King Zhou's palace. Soon, the power was handed over and Ji Chang became the new king safely.
On the second morning, the ministers were prepared not to see King Zhou and planned to leave after the roll call. Unexpectedly, they saw Ji Chang sitting on the throne.
"How dare you, the bold Duke Xibo, sit on the throne of the king!" Fei Zhong was the first to jump out and question Ji Chang. Anyway, he had already joined the assessment and didn't care about official affairs. He just simply didn't like Ji Chang.
"The king is not in the court. Does Duke Xibo think that just by opening his mouth the king will abdicate?" You Hun supported his buddy. He also signed up for the assessment.
"Of course I have evidence. Please move outside the hall and take a look at the sky together." Ji Chang gave Shiyi a big gift in exchange for Shiyi posting the information on the sky.
Everyone looked up and saw the news released by Shi Yi, and then began to submit to Ji Chang. Fei Zhong and You Hun looked at each other and resigned together. What a joke! They were loyal to Emperor Xin, not Ji Chang.
The two men knew that they were not good people and were not capable ministers. They just wanted to see Emperor Xin be a good emperor. Now that King Zhou was unwilling to do it, what was the point of them being ministers? The key was to go home and study hard.
Everyone in the court left and dispersed. Ji Chang put his ministers on the throne, smoothly transferred the court, and began to handle state affairs with Ji Fa.
For the so-called assessment, Shiyi has not returned to the East China Sea for the past two decades. The water tribe looks forward to Shiyi's return day and night, and has collected many magical things.
Even other monsters around were waiting for Shiyi. Such a grand occasion made the Dragon King of the East China Sea envious, because he did not have such benefits in the beginning.
"My lord, your father wants you to go back. There is almost no space left in the Dragon Palace."
Ao Bing's words made Shiyi feel a little strange. What did the existence of vacant space in Dragon Palace have to do with her? Shiyi was a little confused. When she came to Dragon Palace, she felt a little regretful for the first time.
"Is your father out robbing?"
"These are treasures sent by various tribes. I hope to meet you." Ao Bing crawled out from the pile of treasures with difficulty and explained to Shiyi the origins of these things.
“Does everyone know that I am the official Heavenly Book holder? This shouldn’t be possible.” Shi Yibai was puzzled.
"No, it's the crystal given by the adults. They want to get the crystal to improve their cultivation." It can quickly improve cultivation and there is no harm in it. Who wouldn't like such a treasure?
Shiyi had no idea that the thing he had obtained accidentally was actually quite popular, and that this thing seemed to have started to replicate in his own space. Since everyone liked it and it was confirmed to be harmless, he might as well give it to others.
Thinking of this, Shiyi had a new idea.
There were changes on the sky again. Shiyi posted tasks on the sky, all kinds of strange tasks, and the rewards were those crystals.
Crystals are useless to humans, which seems to be a reward for other races. However, Shiyi clearly discovered that the races that have used crystals seem to be separated by something in this world. It seems that there is another mystery behind the development of this world.
What is the purpose of deifying the gods? Shiyi faced this question for the first time.
The trajectory of each small world is to continue the history of the big world, but there are also differences. For example, the destiny of this world is determined by heaven for three thousand years, which means that this fantasy world will become a world similar to the one she has seen.
The transformation from the world established by the saints to the world of the Dharma Ending Age, and then to the materialistic world, this obviously cannot be accomplished in three thousand years. Shiyi concluded that this world must have its own way to go, and perhaps this is the main reason why Shiyi came to this world.
The strange crystals that kept growing in the space seemed to illustrate this point.
Not knowing the ultimate purpose of this world, Shiyi can only do things according to his own ideas, such as continuing to post tasks on the sky curtain, binding the crystals to the sky curtain, and giving out rewards.
The number of tribes coming to the Dragon Palace has gradually decreased, and only the water tribe is still diligently sending gifts. They have gone from sending treasures in the beginning to cleaning the river now.
Yes, every aquatic creature that came brought with them the sundries from their own waters: "Big Li, you're here to give gifts too?"
"That's right. After cleaning up like this, the house is much cleaner. My wife always praises me for being smart."
"Isn't it? I don't know which smart person came up with this idea, it's really great."
Smart people start throwing things that the aquatic creatures don’t want into the Heavenly Book. The Heavenly Book will automatically classify them, form rewards, and issue tasks.
The aquatic creatures thought the useless debris were treasures in the eyes of some people. In this way, the Dragon Palace was quickly cleaned up, and only two things were left in the Dragon Palace.
One of them was the Dinghai Shenzhen which no one had touched, and the other was the golden chain mail armor sent by the Dragon King of the West Sea. Both of them were destined to have owners, so Shi Yi did not interfere.
Under the influence of the sky curtain, everyone in the world was preparing for exams and completing tasks, and time passed quickly. Shiyi was invited to the Ninth Heaven to conduct the final assessment of talents for special positions together with the Jade Emperor and other big guys.
"These are peaches grown in the Queen Mother's Peach Garden. Let's taste them together." Before the interview session even began, the interviewers started enjoying themselves.
As Shi Yi was eating the peaches, he was worried about Ao Bing and Nezha. After all, they were two children who grew up under his nose, so it was fate.
Nezha had no problems with the martial arts test, his literary skills were slightly inferior, but his overall score was still relatively high. There were many positions for immortals, and he was ranked at the top, so he easily entered the interview stage.
When Nezha arrived at the Third Heaven, the one who was responsible for interviewing him was the Dragon King of the East Sea. The Dragon King recognized at a glance that Nezha had the smell of dragon bones on him, and they were the bones of the Ancestral Dragon. Thinking of the disappearance of the Ancestral Dragon's bones, he did not have a good face towards Nezha.
But the Dragon King of the East Sea knew what it meant to distinguish between public and private. He silently remembered this grudge, and then interviewed Nezha. Nezha passed the interview successfully and became an immortal in heaven.
Ao Bing became the first in the comprehensive score with a crushing attitude, and easily got the position he wanted. He and Nezha came to his residence in the heaven together.
Although Qinghe did not participate in the assessment, as Ao Bing's wife, she also had the right to live with Ao Bing in the Heavenly Palace. The three of them drank happily until the end of the assessment.
The vigorous assessment lasted for five days, which is five years in the human world. All the results were clearly announced on the sky curtain, which was completely fair, just and open.
After all the immortals arrived, the Jade Emperor started the Peach Festival. Yin Shiniang came to the banquet holding a pagoda, followed by Jin Zha, Mu Zha and Nezha.
Li Jing failed the assessment and had already gone to work for Ji Chang in the human world. Even though he was not a good father or a good husband, he was indeed a good official and was trusted by Ji Fa and his son.
"All the nobles have gathered in the Lingxiao Palace. This is all thanks to your hard work over the past few days. From now on, all the nobles will perform their duties and serve the Heavenly Court."
"Your Majesty's orders shall be followed faithfully." Everyone toasted the Jade Emperor. Looking at the crowded Lingxiao Palace, the Jade Emperor was in a good mood. Finally, there was someone to share these trivial matters with him from now on.
After the banquet, everyone took up their respective posts. Shiyi also returned to the East China Sea, quietly observing the changes in the world and cleaning the moss on the Dinghai Shenzhen.
This is not the Dinghai Shenzhen that Shiyi turned into. This is a dead object without its own consciousness. Shiyi's constant companionship makes the Dinghai Shenzhen look very shining.
After many years, Shiyi finally felt the rotation of luck. Looking in one direction, he smiled and said, "Dinghai Shenzhen, your master is coming soon."
At this time, no one knew which generation of Ji Chang's descendants it was. Although it was still the Zhou Dynasty, Buddhism inexplicably began to flourish. The prevalence of Buddhism was a great blow to Taoism.
Master Tongtian was so angry that he simply hid away to practice. The other saints just turned a blind eye to it because the destiny was in chaos and they didn't know what would happen in the future.
Suddenly one day, a loud noise was heard by Shiyi, and then a monkey appeared in Shiyi's sight. However, the monkey was afraid of water, so it avoided the water and went wild in the mountains and forests.
Shiyi didn't care much about it. She was waiting for the monkey to return after completing his studies and give the two things to the monkey. That day would soon come.
(This world connects the story of Journey to the West and The Lotus Lantern)
When the monkey broke into the Dragon Palace, he transformed into a mermaid and was enjoying delicious food. The large crabs were authentic and tasted so delicious that the monkey was so attracted that he forgot what he was there for.
"Little girl, is it delicious?"
"It's delicious, would you like to try it?" Shiyi greeted warmly, and the monkey came over without hesitation.
The two of them ate with relish. The monkey's belly was so full of food. The shrimp soldiers and crab generals cleaned the table with tears in their eyes: "Wow, wow, wow, my eldest uncle's grandmother's second aunt's third nephew's fourth daughter-in-law's third aunt's sixth uncle's big crabs, have a safe journey, wow, they smell so good, slurp~"
Shiyi couldn't help but laugh as he watched the monkey rubbing his belly: "Monkey, when you're full, tell me what you came for."
"The reason I came here is... burp~" A loud burp made the monkey feel a little shy, but Shiyi pretended not to notice and the monkey quickly adjusted himself.
"I want to ask your Dragon King for a treasure." The monkey looked at Shiyi with burning eyes and said, "Let your Dragon King come out."
"The Dragon King works in the Heavenly Palace. I have been in charge of the Dragon Palace. Just tell me what you want." Shi Yi said, and then looked at the monkey: "Aren't there a lot of treasures in the Heavenly Palace? Why do you come to the Dragon Palace to ask for them?"
"My brothers said that there are heirlooms in the Dragon Palace that are incomparable to those on the sky."
Shiyi was a little confused. The things on the sky were all the top resources in this world. As long as they were available in this world, they could be obtained through tasks on the sky.
But thinking that the monkey had never been taught by anyone, and would probably have no chance to complete the mission after entering the Sanxing Cave, it was no wonder that he came here to ask for it. Shiyi was very generous and brought the monkey to the Dinghai Shenzhen.
"This is the magic weapon that Dayu used when he controlled the flood. It is a sharp weapon. I wonder if you like it?"
"I like it, I feel it's meant to be to me. Did you really give it to me?" The monkey happily circled around the Dinghai Shenzhen. "But if I take it away, will there be another flood? Wouldn't the people of the world be in trouble again?"
Shiyi was very pleased. It seemed that orthodox education was still very useful. At least the monkey would consider the people of the world instead of just wanting magic weapons.
"No, nowadays all water bodies are guarded by aquatic creatures, so such disasters will not happen."
With Shiyi's assurance, the monkey happily accepted the Dinghai Shenzhen and named it the Ruyi Jingu Bang. Holding the golden cudgel, the monkey wielded it with great power, and the shrimp soldiers and crab generals around him kept clapping.
"I have another set of golden chain mail armor here, which is perfect for you." Shi Yi took out the thing and asked the clam spirit to help the monkey put it on. It was indeed very majestic.
"You, the fish spirit, are quite interesting. I, Sun, will accept you as my friend. In the future, I, Sun, will take you out to play!" The monkey left with the gift.
A few days later, the monkey was captured and brought to the Heavenly Palace. Looking at the immortals there, the monkey was a little envious: "The Jade Emperor, I want to be a high official too."
"Want to be an official in Heaven? It is clearly written on the sky curtain that you have to go through an assessment. We have been participating in the assessment since the Shang Dynasty," Ao Bing explained to the monkey.
"Then are there no positions that don't require exams?" The monkey scratched his head. He didn't want to take the exam. When he was on earth, he had seen those students taking science exams, and they were all stupid and dull.
