Zhou Wang Offers Incense

Do Bao also wanted to see, but within the entire formation, he was just a mortal...

Not to mention him, even Tongtian could only be beaten around by his uncle.

"Grandson, let's go, let's take a look at the edge of the formation."

Leave the mountain?

No, no, no, the Primordial World is too dangerous!

Wang Yuan was too timid, he wanted to play it safe... play it safe until one day he could defeat a Heavenly Immortal!

The grandfather and grandson walked to the edge of the formation like thieves, which was also at the foot of the mountain. At this time, the line of people was passing by the foot of the mountain, with about several thousand people, and the front was soldiers in armor.

Seeing this group of people, Wang Yuan felt that he had guessed wrong.

"Little Mouse, this isn't an ordinary person marrying a wife."

Do Bao nodded, "That's for sure! It should be a high official marrying a wife."

Wang Yuan nodded, "That makes sense."

But then he thought, "Bah, what nonsense! I was almost led astray by you, this is not marrying a wife at all."

Do Bao in the formation certainly didn't know what was going on outside.

"Grandpa, I'll go find out!"

After saying that, he darted out of the formation. Wang Yuan wanted to grab him, but Do Bao walked quite fast and left the formation in a flash. Wang Yuan sighed, "This young man... sigh."

Do Bao left the mountain gate and came to the side of the team. At this time, there were some common people on the roadside, but they were all kneeling on the ground. Do Bao's mind moved and he hid his figure.

Just as a soldier in the team passed by him, Do Bao's mana stirred, and the next moment this person disappeared with Do Bao.

"You can remain silent, but everything you say will be used as evidence in court." Do Bao looked at the soldier in front of him, imitating his grandfather's way of speaking, feeling as if he had become an expert like his grandfather.

Although the soldiers were captured by Do Bao, they were subordinates of the Human Emperor, how could they be afraid of demonic people?

"You fiend, what courage! Don't you know who I am?"

Do Bao was stunned, this mortal had such courage! He was not afraid of him.

He slightly released his aura, although it was just the tip of the iceberg, it was not something a mortal could bear.

The soldier instantly knelt on the ground, but his eyes were still cold, "Good demonic Taoist! You dare to use demonic arts!!"

Do Bao scratched his head a little, what was this? Why didn't he respect immortals?

Why do mortals have so much courage now?

"Open your eyes wide and take a good look, who am I?! I am Daoist Duobao, the chief disciple of the Intercept Sect!"

"Daoist Duobao?" The soldier looked at Do Bao in surprise.

Do Bao stroked his horizontally growing beard, "Of course, it is this poor Dao."

"Never heard of it, let me go, or I'll make you look good!"

Do Bao was so angry he wanted to slap this stubborn donkey to death.

But killing a mortal would really damage his, Do Bao's, reputation. In the end, he helplessly stroked the soldier's head and used Soul Seize.

Instantly, countless memories flooded in, and Do Bao understood what was happening. With a flick of his sleeve, a gust of wind and sand swept through. By the time the soldier regained his senses, he was back in the ranks.

The people next to him were naturally in a panic, but the general in front scolded them twice, and immediately everyone dared not speak.

Do Bao got the news and followed the team for a while. Before long, he saw a burst of immortal light in the distance. Do Bao restrained all his aura, following at the very back, looking just like a mortal.

"Goddess Nüwa Temple?"

Do Bao blinked as he looked at the place, thinking that it really was Goddess Nüwa's birthday. So the human emperor was here to offer incense. No wonder it was so grand!

A hint of joy appeared on his face. He had found out the news so clearly, would Grandpa praise him?

Maybe, if he was happy, he might even give him some treasure!

At this time, the human emperor Di Xin began to offer incense. Do Bao secretly observed this human emperor. One look was all it took, and Do Bao exclaimed inwardly, what a human emperor! Eight feet tall, with sword-like eyebrows and tiger-like eyes, a burly figure, a resolute face, and imperial aura surging around him.

This human emperor seemed to be just like what Grandpa said, truly like a god farting—extraordinary.

"This Zhou Wang doesn't look like the last ruler of a dynasty..."

(Just to explain, Zhou Wang is a posthumous title, his name was Zi Xin, and after ascending the throne he was 'Di Xin'. Zhou Wang is a derogatory term used by the Zhou Dynasty, but for everyone's convenience in reading later, Di Xin will be referred to as Zhou Wang.)

The surrounding people knelt down piously, but they were not kneeling to heaven or gods, but to Zhou Wang.

This great king changed the laws and established new ones, making the lives of the people better. The people sincerely liked this great king.

Even Do Bao became curious. No matter how he looked at it, he felt something was wrong. This kind of person had flourishing luck, how could this be?

Inside the Goddess Nüwa Temple, Zhou Wang touched his head in confusion, "Why is I here?"

Next to him was a man wearing a python robe, with a jade belt around his waist, looking like a weak scholar, but with a face full of righteousness. He also felt that Zhou Wang was strange today.

He had felt something was wrong since morning. Had the great king been overworked these past few days?

Alas, the great king was too hardworking, going to court every day before dawn and reviewing official documents until late at night.

It was a pity that the Grand Tutor was not here, otherwise he could definitely help the great king.

Some time ago, the seventy-two princes, led by Yuan Futong, showed signs of rebellion. Grand Tutor Wen Zhong led troops to quell the rebellion. The ministers thought that the great king would slack off without the Grand Tutor's supervision, but they did not expect that the great king would become even more diligent after the Grand Tutor left!

He was even more disciplined than when the Grand Tutor was around, and many ministers were very gratified. With such a great king, what worries did their Great Shang have about not prospering?

But why was the great king talking nonsense this morning?

Today was Goddess Nüwa's birthday, and he should offer incense. Shang Rong, as the minister of rites and music, should naturally remind him, even though they had discussed it all yesterday... but the formality still had to be done.

Shang Rong went to court early in the morning and yawned, "Great King, today is the fifteenth day of the third month, the day of Goddess Nüwa's birthday. Please, Great King, move to the Goddess Nüwa Temple to offer incense."

In his heart, he thought the great king would definitely say, "Granted."

Who knew that Zhou Wang would say in a daze, "Who is Nüwa? What does she do? What merits does she have? Why should I go to offer incense to her??"

Shang Rong: ...

Great King! Don't play like this, didn't we discuss it late last night? Didn't we say what rites and music would be used today?

Shang Rong, observing Zhou Wang, noticed a vacant look in his eyes and an unusual expression.

Hmm??

Could it be... because he's too tired?

Nevertheless, he braced himself and said, "As decreed by the Heavenly Dao, born of a sage, Goddess Nüwa's great kindness and virtue, when Buzhou Mountain collapsed, the heavens leaked, and floods raged..."

"The heavens are leaking? Which artisan is responsible? Enraging this king! Such a scoundrel should be subjected to slow slicing!"

Shang Rong was dumbfounded...

What on earth is going on?

Can you at least let me finish?

"Ahem, no, Your Majesty, it was Goddess Nüwa who mended the heavens with five-colored stones, and only then was the human race saved. This is a great kindness to the human race, and the human race established the Goddess Nüwa Temple to thank her for her great kindness."

"Oh, I see. Then go ahead, granted."

After the court session, Zhou Wang returned to his study, and Shang Rong requested an audience.

Shang Rong said, "Your Majesty! Why did you say such things in court just now?!"

"Ah?"

Zhou Wang looked at Shang Rong in confusion, "What did I say? Why does my head... feel so uncomfortable?"

After Shang Rong explained, Zhou Wang shook his head, "Impossible! How could I have said such things?"

Shang Rong curled his lips, "If Your Majesty doesn't believe me, you can ask others!"

Zhou Wang repeatedly denied it, "Impossible! Last night, you and I, as ruler and subject, were still discussing matters of rites, music, and attire. How could this king have said such things?"

Shang Rong realized that Zhou Wang wasn't pretending, but why was this happening?

Could it be a demon?

He took note of this matter, but upon further thought, it didn't seem right. The king has the protection of the Nine Dragons; he is the Human Emperor. How could ordinary demons and evil spirits get close to him?

At this moment, they arrived at the Goddess Nüwa Temple, and Zhou Wang seemed confused again. Seeing Shang Rong, he remained silent, then Zhou Wang said with a sullen face, "Shang Rong! This king is asking you! Why am I here?"

Shang Rong carefully scrutinized Zhou Wang, discovering that at this moment, Zhou Wang's eyes were gloomy, and his aura was sinister, greatly different from his usual self!

Shang Rong gritted his teeth inwardly, hoping nothing would go wrong. He could only brace himself and say, "Today is Goddess Nüwa's birthday, Your Majesty. We are here to offer incense."

At the same time, he whispered a reminder, "Your Majesty, every household is burning incense and setting up lights, every door is decorated with colorful silk, three thousand iron cavalry, eight hundred imperial guards, Martial Accomplishment King Huang Feihu is escorting you, and the entire court of civil and military officials is accompanying you. Please don't say anything rash!!!"

Zhou Wang kept a sullen face and snorted.

Hiding in the shadows, Do Bao's eyes flashed with divine light. He sensed something was wrong!

What is this thing?

A mass of black energy gathered above Zhou Wang's head, and a surge of evil energy shot straight into the heavens!

The aura of the Nine Dragons was suppressed deep within Zhou Wang's body, unable to emerge, which showed how powerful this evil energy was.
