Nezha Appeared, Taiyi Came Calling

"Yes, my dear subject, please rise."

Di Xin looked at Li Jing with great respect and was quite satisfied.

"My dear minister, you have guarded the border for generations of our Human Race, and your merits are truly great."

"Someone come here!"

An official immediately entered the main tent.

"A reward of one hundred taels of silver, a set of golden armor and battle robes, ten pieces of pearls and agate, one hundred large axes, and three hundred crossbows."

"There must be no mistakes."

After seeing the official record the amount of his reward, Di Xin spoke with a stern expression.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The official bowed and withdrew.

Subsequently, Di Xin ordered Li Jing to accompany him on his journey.

Learn about the local customs and culture of Chentang Pass.

After all, Di Xin had not forgotten that his opportunity lay in this very place.

"Oh, my dear minister's wife is actually ten months pregnant?"

Di Xin heard Li Jing's words, he couldn't help but feel very curious.

This creature is either Divine Saint or a divine beast.

Could it be that my destiny lies with Li Jing?

It seems that this is because King Zhou of Shang, Di Xin descended upon the land.

Lady Li Jing, however, sensed that the child in her womb was about to be born.

They immediately sent someone to fetch Li Jing and bring him back.

Upon hearing this, Li Jing was both surprised and delighted.

When Di Xin learned of this, he ordered Li Jing to lead the way so that he could see this spectacle.

Li Jing had no choice but to agree.

Then, a large group of people quickly surrounded Li Jing's residence.

When Li Jing's steward and others saw the large army in full armor and weapons appear, they turned pale with fright.

Fortunately, Li Jing appeared in time to calm everyone down, thus preventing any further trouble.

When everyone in the Li family learned that it was actually Emperor Di Xin, the Son of Heaven emperor, who had personally come to visit, they were all shocked.

The birth of a son by a master has alarmed the current Son of Heaven?

Could it be that the master's son is the Son of Heaven's posthumous child?

Pah!

Could it be that the master harbors imperial ambitions?

Has the king taken a liking to you?

Amidst the differing thoughts of the people.

Lady Li Jing finally gave birth to a... meatball.

When the midwife saw the newborn red ball of flesh, she immediately screamed and fainted.

Li Jing waited outside the delivery room.

Hearing a startled cry from inside, his expression changed.

Without a second thought, she drew her sword and rushed into the delivery room.

I looked up and saw...

Then I saw a round, fleshy ball, floating in mid-air, radiating a soft glow.

As if seeing Li Jing approaching, the fleshy ball floated towards Li Jing.

Seeing such a strange monster coming towards him, Li Jing was quite frightened.

Instinctively, he raised his sword and slashed.

"Clatter".

This fleshy ball looks bizarre.

In fact, it is very fragile.

Li Jing cleaved with his precious sword.

The fleshy ball split into two halves.

It split in the middle.

A baby was born.

Li Jing looked at the exquisitely beautiful girl in front of him, his expression shifting.

He was determined to kill them with his sword, so as to prevent the Li family from being attacked.

But I couldn't bear to do it.

In addition, the Son of Heaven Di Xin, came here.

I wish to see it.

Li Jing dared not make a move.

Just then, Li Jing's wife woke up.

Seeing her own child, she was overjoyed.

He quickly had someone wash and dress him up.

Li Jing had no choice but to retreat.

When Di Xin heard that Lady Li Jing had successfully given birth, he couldn't contain his curiosity.

He asked Li Jing, who had just emerged from the room, "My dear minister, is there anything extraordinary about your son, the Qilin child?"

Li Jing was somewhat troubled.

However, when faced with the king's question, he dared not hide anything and could only tell the whole story.

"Oh, is that so? Does that mean you were born extraordinary?"

"Such a person, I must take a good look at him."

Not long after, Lady Li Jing brought her toddler Nezha to pay her respects to Di Xin.

Di Xin first rewarded Lady Li Jing according to procedure, and then looked at Nezha.

Upon seeing this, Di Xin's heart stirred.

Because he sensed that his opportunity had fallen on this boy.

"My dear minister, I wish to take your son back to the palace and properly educate him. What do you think?"

After a long while, Di Xin suddenly spoke in a deep voice to Li Jing, who was standing to the side with his hands hanging down.

Li Jing was taken aback, but then he realized what was happening.

Without hesitation, he said, "It is an honor for my son that Your Majesty has taken a liking to him. I am extremely humbled and humbled."

Only Li Jing's wife looked reluctant to part with him.

The child must be separated from him immediately after birth.

Which parent can be without feeling sad?

Upon seeing this scene, Di Xin pondered for a moment.

He added, "Given that Nezha is still young, how about we wait until he turns one year old, and then have your wife bring him to Chaoge City to pay his respects to me?"

"Your humble servant thanks you for your kindness."

Li Jing naturally agreed wholeheartedly, kneeling to express his gratitude and shouting "Long live the Emperor!"

The Li family of Chentang Pass had been guarding the border for generations, serving the Shang Dynasty.

Now that Nezha has won the king's favor, Li Jing is naturally overjoyed.

Lady Li Jing was also delighted and knelt down to thank the King for his kindness.

Clearly, this king is a reasonable person.

There was no forceful way to separate her from her.

Once Nezha turns one year old, he will not die young again.

After the matter was settled, Di Xin prepared to return home after spending some travel expenses.

After all, given the opportunity, there's no reason not to stay here any longer.

However, what made Di Xin wary was that Li Jing actually had two more sons.

However, he had already become a disciple of one of the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Elucidation Sect.

The eldest son was named Jin Zha.

He became a disciple of Manjushri Celestial Worthy Manjusri, at Black Dragon Mountain, Cloud Glow Cave.

He had a son named Mu Zha.

He became a disciple of the Real Person Samantabhadra of Nine Palace Mountain, White Crane Cave.

They are all people with Great Destiny.

Di Xin felt a slight pity that these two people had not become his subordinates in the Great Shang.

However, he then remembered that this man's father, Li Jing, was a border general of his Great Shang.

Perhaps when they return after completing their studies, I can recruit them into my ranks.

Do it as soon as you think of it.

Before leaving, Di Xin gave Li Jing some important instructions.

He instructed them to wait until Jin Zha Mu Zha had completed their studies and returned, after which they would go to Chaoge City to pay their respects.

At that time, an official position will be bestowed upon you, and you will enjoy endless wealth and honor.

What else could Li Jing do?

Of course, they were extremely willing, repeatedly bowing and thanking the king for his kindness.

With teary eyes, she wished she could immediately charge into battle for the king and die on the battlefield.

I would gladly die for you, Yulong, to repay your kindness on the Golden Terrace.

Di Xin was completely numb.

He waved his hand, instructing Li Jing to guard Chentang Pass.

There will be a reason for this in the future.

Then he sent Li Jing away.

After Emperor Di Xin returned to Chaoge City.

Li Jing bid farewell to the king, eager to return to his post and serve his sovereign.

Suddenly, a butler stepped forward and whispered in his ear, "Master, there is a Daoist priest outside requesting an audience."

Li Jing was taken aback.

Why have so many people come to my door today?

However, Li Jing was not satisfied.

I thought he was some wandering Daoist priest.

He waved his hand dismissively and said, "Just give them some money and send them on their way."

"Yes."

The butler was not surprised; he was clearly used to it.

However, at this moment...

A Daoist priest with an air of otherworldly grace appeared before Li Jing.

"Esteemed layman, your third son Nezha, has a master-disciple relationship with me. I wonder if it would be possible for him to serve under my tutelage?"
