Chapter 111: The destiny black bird descends and gives birth to Shang

In the wilderness, teams of soldiers stood in neat rows. Although only their outlines could be seen due to the darkness, their images, as straight as pine and cypress trees, were enough to show the elite level of this army.

And in the middle of the soldiers' formation was a burning bonfire.

Beside the campfire, several figures sat cross-legged facing each other.

Lu Xiaofeng was wrapped in a thick fur quilt, but even so, his body was still shaking from time to time.

While shaking, his eyes were fixed on Gao Changsheng.

The resentment in her eyes was beyond words, and at first glance, she looked like an abandoned woman.

"Cough, cough..."

Gao Changsheng couldn't help but cough a few times, and for a moment he didn't know how to start.

Fortunately, Zhang Sanfeng, who was sitting at the other end, spoke up, breaking the atmosphere.

"Xiao Lu, how did you offend him? Logically speaking, you and him are not related at all, so that guy shouldn't target you, right?"

After saying this, Gao Changsheng quickly turned his eyes and looked at Lu Xiaofeng.

He was equally curious.

Lu Xiaofeng went to Pegasus Ranch to investigate the military horse matter, so how did he suddenly become related to Emperor Shitian?

Indra and the Goryeo army and horses, these are absolutely two completely unrelated matters in different dimensions.

"Uh……"

Hearing Zhang Sanfeng's question, Lu Xiaofeng was inexplicably stunned. He opened his mouth and only uttered one word awkwardly.

"Pfft..."

Seeing this scene, both Zhang Sanfeng and Gao Changsheng looked puzzled.

A silver bell-like sneer came from the other side.

It was the woman in white who fell down with the carriage and did not have time to escape.

"It's not us who are causing trouble for him. He came to us on his own initiative." The woman said with a smile.

"My master was fishing in Yunmeng Lake at the time, and this person came over to chat out of curiosity."

"My master was bored to begin with, and this person just happened to come to him."

"And this person's name is Xiao Feng. My master has a connection with Feng. In his words, Feng is both connected and interesting. He is a toy sent by God."

Zhang Sanfeng shook his head and smiled: "That's the guy's style."

Lu Xiaofeng's face darkened.

Obviously, his experience during this period was not a pleasant one.

Madmen have always been a scary species, let alone a powerful madman.

Lu Xiaofeng's strength is definitely not weak. With his agility and wisdom, even if he encounters a grandmaster, he may not be unable to escape.

But this time, he finally understood how powerless wisdom and tricks were in the face of true absolute strength.

Facing the masked man, he had no ability to resist at all.

Even if he used all his tricks, he was just like a mouse being toyed with by a cat's paw, which could only add a bit of fun to the other party.

Luo Xian's words made Lu Xiaofeng unconsciously recall his experiences during this period, and his expression naturally looked unhappy.

But Lu Xiaofeng was obviously not the type to suffer a loss, and he immediately retorted:

"Tsk tsk, you are really loyal. Your master just abandoned you and took you prisoner. You are not worried at all?"

Hearing this, Luo Xian raised her eyebrows: "Master Zhang's name is known to everyone in the world. How could he care about a little girl like me?"

"I think you should worry about yourself. You are lucky to have Master Zhang rescue you today, but my master is not tired of playing with you as a toy yet. He will come back to you sooner or later."

"I wonder if you will still be so lucky then?"

Lu Xiaofeng's lips trembled, but he quickly recovered:

"I only know that it was your master who fled in a panic today."

“Humph, my master’s supreme power is not something a small character like you can understand.” Luo Xian sneered indifferently.

Lu Xiaofeng ignored him and bowed to Zhang Sanfeng:

"I would also like to thank Master Zhang for rescuing me this time."

Zhang Sanfeng waved his hand casually: "It was just a coincidence, and you are Xiaohua's friend, not an outsider."

After saying that, he looked at Luo Xian again: "You are much more intelligent than your unlucky master, and your aptitude is not bad. Why did you worship that guy?"

"Master Zhang, you are too kind. I don't deserve it." Luo Xian bowed respectfully and said, "It is a blessing for me that Master can accept me."

"Hehe, they are just a bunch of snakes and rats." Lu Xiaofeng snorted.

Luo Xian glanced at him, then smiled sweetly: "Indeed, but I don't know who is the hero who was wriggling like a caterpillar and begging for wine like a snake or rat a few days ago?"

"Uh……"

Lu Xiaofeng was choked and almost couldn't catch his breath.

Zhang Sanfeng couldn't help but chuckle when he heard this and said, "That's not bad. Although your master looks like he deserves a beating, his Sacred Heart Sutra is quite unique. Tsk tsk."

After saying this, he smacked his lips meaningfully.

Gao Changsheng's heart moved and he glanced at Zhang Sanfeng unconsciously.

On the other side, Lu Xiaofeng's voice soon sounded again.

"Master Zhang, who exactly is this person? From your previous conversation, this person should have appeared in the Ming Dynasty. Why have I never heard of him?"

"normal!"

Zhang Sanfeng waved his hand and said, "Don't think he is so timid in front of me, but he is very powerful. Ordinary people in the martial arts world will never be able to find his trace."

"And when he first met Lao Dao ten years ago, he was not as easy to talk to as he is today."

At this point, Zhang Sanfeng scratched his back a little embarrassedly: "But ten years ago, my Wudang happened to have that mess, and the old Taoist was furious. Now I think the blow was a little heavy."

Although the people present did not see it with their own eyes, they all had a rough estimate in their minds after hearing this.

Especially Gao Changsheng and Luo Xian, who understood each other's character well, could make such a rampant person become as vicious as a rat. It is conceivable that Emperor Shitian must have been beaten badly by Zhang Sanfeng at that time.

While several people were thinking, Zhang Sanfeng's voice continued.

"He is not from the Ming Dynasty, but comes from the ownerless and chaotic land at the junction of the east and west of Kyushu."

"But this person has always been a person who is afraid of chaos in the world. He has been running around in Jiuzhou for many years."

Hearing this, Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help but look at Luo Xian.

But there was no expression on Luo Xian's face, as if what she was talking about was not her master at all.

"He roamed around the nine continents, causing cholera all over the world, yet we've never heard of any trace of him?" Lu Xiaofeng murmured.

"Hahaha."

Hearing Lu Xiaofeng's question, Zhang Sanfeng couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"That's why the old Taoist said this guy is unlucky!"

"He was not discovered because he is indeed quite strong, but there is another important point. Every time this guy makes trouble, he happens to run into a tough guy."

"Maybe five hundred or seven hundred years ago, he took action in Liyang. Oh, it wasn't Liyang at that time, it should be Dafeng."

"As a result, he happened to be encountered by Lu Zu, who stabbed him twice and made him flee in panic."

"Later, when he entered the Song Dynasty, he disturbed the chess game between Chen Tuan and Emperor Taizu of the Song Dynasty at Mount Huashan, and was beaten up."

"It is said that there was a conflict with Damo."

Zhang Sanfeng curled his lips and said, "In a word, he is just an unlucky child."

"It's just that the old Taoist was born a little late. I really don't know how much phoenix blood is left in his body." Zhang Sanfeng sighed with some concern.

Hearing this, the usually calm Luo Xian couldn't help but twitch his eyes.

Zhang Sanfeng had no intention of hiding his thoughts at all. He simply treated his master as a mobile blood supply station.

Gao Changsheng sighed twice.

Indra is indeed miserable in this world.

The Nine Continents are vast, and heroes have emerged in large numbers. There are many major dynasties, Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, and peerless figures almost one after another.

Lu Zu, Chen Tuan, and Bodhidharma are indeed people that the other side cannot defeat and cannot afford to offend.

Even Lu Xiaofeng felt much relieved after hearing these words.

"Who is this person?" Lu Xiaofeng spoke again. After talking for a long time, he still didn't know who this person was.

"Emperor Shitian, Xu Fu."

It was Gao Changsheng who spoke this time.

Hearing this, Zhang Sanfeng turned his eyes away instantly.

"what?"

"This young man actually knows Emperor Shitian?" A strange look flashed in Zhang Sanfeng's eyes.

What he said before was not wrong. Even though his words showed that Xu Fu's experience was horrible,

But each and every one of them he mentioned was a top figure who dominated the world.

Although the opponent was defeated, he is still able to survive to this day, which is enough to show how difficult it is.

In fact, there are very few people in Jiuzhou who know this person's whereabouts. "Huh? I didn't notice it before, you have good talent and understanding." Zhang Sanfeng praised repeatedly.

"Master Zhang, you are too kind. I don't deserve such praise in front of Master Zhang."

"I just have the advantage of age and being ahead of others. I don't have the strength and character of a person your age. The young are to be feared."

After saying this, Zhang Sanfeng changed his tone in an instant: "Tsk tsk, I thought my Wuji boy had Phoenix blood to temper his body and had excellent aptitude. Now it seems that I still underestimated the world's talents. Damn it, I should not have let Xu Fu leave so easily."

"That guy is a rat. Once he runs away this time, it won't be easy to dig him out again."

Luo Xian on the side had automatically filtered out Zhang Sanfeng's subsequent words. Her master couldn't do anything to him, let alone her.

However, Luo Xian's attention also fell on Gao Changsheng.

Being able to reveal her master's two identities so easily is not something that can be done easily.

And Gao Changsheng is still so young.

"Xu Fu, Emperor Shi Tian."

Lu Xiaofeng muttered to himself, the first two words are nothing, this is obviously his real name.

The last three words are not simple. In Sanskrit, they mean heavenly being and emperor of heaven, representing the supreme power.

Just from this name, one can see the other person's contemptuous character.

"Emperor Shitian, you have such great ambition and such an arrogant tone." Lu Xiaofeng snorted.

At the beginning, the other party gave him the feeling that he was unfathomable and unmatched.

But with the appearance of Zhang Sanfeng, especially his subsequent words, the powerful image of the opponent has been weakened several times.

So at this moment, Lu Xiaofeng was no longer as frightened as before.

"How do you know these two names, young friend?" Zhang Sanfeng didn't pay attention to Lu Xiaofeng's words, but looked at Gao Changsheng with a chuckle.

"I just heard it by chance." Gao Changsheng said.

Zhang Sanfeng nodded, and did not ask any further questions. He just shook his head and smiled:
"The person who told you this probably only has a limited understanding of the subject."

"What do you mean, Master Zhang?" Gao Changsheng raised his eyebrows.

"These two names are indeed true, but..." Zhang Sanfeng laughed:
"Indra is Indra, Xu Fu is Xu Fu, they are not the same person."

"what?"

Even Gao Changsheng couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise.

Luo Xian, who was standing beside her, had a similar expression on her face.

Only Lu Xiaofeng didn't feel anything. After all, he was the only one in the field who knew nothing about Xu Fu.

Zhang Sanfeng smiled slightly: "Girl, you are Xu Fu's disciple, so you must be a member of Tianmen."

"Then Xu Fu should also call himself Emperor Shitian, right?"

Luo Xian's eyes did not move, but her gaze was always fixed on Zhang Sanfeng.

From the fact that she did not refute, it can be seen that what Zhang Sanfeng said was right.

"To be precise, Xu Fu should be regarded as the representative pushed to the front by Emperor Shi Tian, ​​that is, the shadow of Emperor Shi Tian."

"impossible!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Xian spoke directly.

He followed Xu Fu for many years and had been in Tianmen, where Xu Fu had always been in a dominant position.

How could it be possible that he was someone else's puppet as Zhang Sanfeng said?

"Ha ha!"

Zhang Sanfeng didn't take it seriously and just laughed: "Little girl, I won't talk nonsense to tease you."

"You should know that Xu Fu has the power of phoenix blood in his body, but do you know where this phoenix blood comes from?"

"Of course, it was Master who killed the phoenix and swallowed its essence and blood." Luo Xian said as a matter of course.

"Hahaha!"

Zhang Sanfeng laughed heartily, but the mockery in his laughter was clearly audible.

"The phoenix is ​​a divine beast, and the blood essence that can produce such a strange ability must be an adult divine beast."

“Even an old Taoist wouldn’t dare to boast that he can definitely take down a divine beast like that, let alone Emperor Shitian.”

After saying this, seeing Luo Xian opening her mouth to refute, Zhang Sanfeng smiled softly again:

"Of course, maybe he has someone to help him. It's not impossible."

"But it's hard for ordinary people to find the traces of divine beasts, let alone a beast as auspicious as the phoenix."

"As far as I know, the real phoenix has only appeared once."

"where is it?"

The three people around him spoke almost at the same time.

Zhang Sanfeng didn't keep the secret and just uttered a few words softly.

"The mysterious bird of destiny, descended to give birth to quotient."

"The Great Shang Empire." Several people spoke at the same time.

Zhang Sanfeng nodded: "Yes, when the Shang Dynasty was in a three-way alliance, the black bird appeared to accompany them."

"The Black Bird of Destiny, I thought it was just a rumor deliberately exaggerated by our ancestors, but it turns out to be true." Lu Xiaofeng murmured.

The era of the Shang Dynasty is too far away from us, and many records are not very detailed and are full of mythology. Naturally, later generations are unwilling to believe them completely.

"That's right!" Zhang Sanfeng smiled slightly: "The black bird is the fire phoenix, the companion beast of the Shang Dynasty, and also the auspicious beast that suppresses the national destiny of the Shang Empire."

"So, Xu Fu has survived from that era until now."

Zhang Sanfeng shook his head: "Master Xu Fu doesn't know, but Emperor Shitian must be."

"When King Wu defeated King Zhou, the final battle at Chaoge was so fierce that the heavens collapsed and the earth split."

"Tai Gong is the founder of military formations. His formations have the power to destroy the heavens and the earth, but he was unable to capture Chaoge in one battle."

Zhang Sanfeng talked leisurely, and the three people around him were listening quietly, and no one interrupted.

"The most important thing is that the Shang Dynasty has not declined, and there is a Fire Phoenix living there. Its supreme power can be said to be invincible."

"And it is said that King Zhou also has powerful figures around him who can even rival Taigong."

After these words were spoken, several people showed strange expressions on their faces.

As the ancestor of military strategy, no one would doubt Jiang Ziya's achievements in military strategy.

The history books also record a simple sentence: King Wu defeated King Zhou, appointed Taigong as the commander-in-chief, captured Chaoge, and destroyed the Shang Dynasty in one battle.

Now, from Zhang Sanfeng's mouth, there is such a secret, and Jiang Ziya actually has an equally powerful opponent.

However, no one doubted the truthfulness of what Zhang Sanfeng said.

Although the Shang Dynasty was a long time ago, Taoism is equally ancient.

Moreover, it is impossible for Zhang Sanfeng to deliberately make up such nonsense.

"and after?"

"Later, the Shang Dynasty was destroyed." Zhang Sanfeng waved his hand.

"Ah?" Lu Xiaofeng widened his eyes.

In fact, not only him, even Gao Changsheng was stunned for a few breaths because of this story that started well but ended badly.

"I didn't see it with my own eyes. I just read some records and had several cordial exchanges with Xu Fu. That's why I know this."

"As for the real details, I'm afraid Xu Fu may not know them, unless he is the real person involved."

After saying this, Zhang Sanfeng also saw the expressions of several people and immediately chuckled:

"After the Shang Dynasty was destroyed, there was no trace of the Fire Phoenix. There was no trace of this auspicious beast in the Great Zhou Dynasty, either in its national destiny or in its history."

"Add to that the phoenix blood in Xu Fu's body, and it can be seen that the fire phoenix has fallen."

"Moreover, I have studied the phoenix blood in Xu Fu's body. It is just the purest blood essence, without a trace of will and soul, nor any trace of national destiny."

After saying that, he closed his mouth.

But the meaning is very clear. Xu Fu is not the one who controls the real Fire Phoenix blood. There is someone else behind him.

"So, Xu Fu's words before he left were referring to the person behind him."

"Almost. However, I have been waiting for ten years and haven't seen any movement from him. I don't know if he can be trusted." Zhang Sanfeng curled his lips.

"Emperor Shitian, Jiang Ziya!"

Gao Changsheng's eyes turned, Zhang Sanfeng's words did surprise him.

He had already expected that there would be differences between Indra and the original work.

After all, in the original novel, Emperor Shitian was able to kill the phoenix only with the help of the troops mobilized by the First Emperor.

But the timeline of this world is different, so it is obvious that this possibility does not exist.

However, Gao Changsheng did not expect that in this world, Xu Fu and Emperor Shitian would actually be two different people, and Xu Fu was very likely a puppet pushed forward by Emperor Shitian.

The real Indra lived in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and even had connections with Jiang Ziya.
