Chapter 230: Eating a Piece of Shen Xin's Meat Can Make You Immortal

Outside the Yuxu Palace on Kunlun Mountain.
Jiang Ziya didn't care about rushing all the way and arrived early in front of the palace.
The strength of the Four Sacred Beings in Jiulong Island is surprisingly powerful, far beyond expectations. My own meager cultivation is simply no match for them.
In this regard, Jiang Ziya is very self-aware.
He has always had a lack of talent and no special aptitude for practicing the Taoist arts. After decades, he has still not become an immortal.
In addition, Yuan Shi Tianzun taught him various medical techniques, divination, astrology, military strategies, and formations.
Even when facing slightly powerful cultivators, they would be completely helpless.
Fortunately, he is now representing Chanjiao instead of himself.
玉虚封神，天命当兴，此乃是天数，无论是沈信, 张桂芳还是九龙岛四圣都无法阻挡。
与势单力薄的沈信相比，阐教绝对是庞然大物，所以这一战姜子牙注定了有绝大的优势。
Now that Xiqi has suffered a setback, the Fengshen List is crucial. It is impossible for Yuanshi Tianzun to let him handle it alone anymore. He will definitely send someone to ensure his safety.
After all, the Great Catastrophe of Conferment of Gods is related to oneself, and it is related to the orthodoxy of Chanjiao.
As expected, when Jiang Ziya returned to Yuxu Palace, Zhang Guifang, also known as White Crane Boy, came out early to greet him, showing respect and addressing him as Junior Master.
Jiang Ziya nodded and quickly asked, "White Crane Boy, I have urgent matters to discuss with Master. Please go in and inform him."
"Wait a moment, Master Shishu!"
The White Crane Boy saw that Jiang Ziya's expression was slightly anxious, so he didn't ask too much. He turned around and walked into the palace, and bowed in front of the Eight Trigrams Platform, saying:
"Reporting to the Lord: Master Shishu Jiang is waiting outside the palace for the command."
The gossip stage is shrouded in mist, and the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign is contemplating the heavens and the earth. It seems that he has not moved for a long time.
When he hears Jiang Ziya, there is no surprise, but it seems that he has already anticipated it. He just opens his eyes slightly and waves his hand:
"Order him to come in."
After receiving the imperial edict, Jiang Ziya dared to hurriedly enter the palace, tidied up his clothes, and immediately knelt down.
"Disciple Jiang Shang, pays respects to Master."
"Kowloon Island's King Mo and four others are attacking you in Xiqi, and I know about it."
"The Primordial Heavenly Sovereign is one of the most respected saints in the world today, having practiced for countless years and attaining enlightenment and sagehood since ancient times."
He prefers tranquility over movement, and at this moment, he has no expression on his face, as if he has seen through everything.
The sage is naturally aware of everything, the vast world, seen through his eyes, encompasses the past, present, and future, and in his hands he can portray time, life and death, and reincarnation.
With a single thought, the divine law changes.
The affairs of Xiqi are merely a momentary thought.
Only see its indifferent words:
"You do not know the four beasts ridden by the King Demon and others. These creatures are the ancient and exotic species of the Primordial Era."
"Baihe Tonger, go and fetch my mount from the Peach Garden."
Baihe Tonger responded and went into the Peach Garden. After a short while, a gentle breeze stirred outside the Jade Void Palace, and Jiang Ziya's face showed astonishment as he saw it, his mouth gaping wide.
Following closely, the White Crane Boy pulled a strange mount and flew in the air, riding on the wind.
I saw that it resembled a dragon but not quite, looked like a tiger but not really, resembled a dog yet not exactly, and seemed like a deer but not entirely. It had the majesty of a dragon, the ferocity of a tiger, the loyalty of a dog, and the gracefulness of a deer.
With a majestic and noble demeanor, it is an unparalleled ancient creature.
And there is a poem as evidence:
With a unicorn head and a snake tail, its body resembles a dragon, stepping on auspicious light to reach the Ninth Heaven.
It freely roams the four seas and the nine continents, instantly appearing at the Three Mountains and Five Peaks.
This is the mount of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, the ancient mythical beast known as the "Four Unicorns," also known as the "King of Beasts." Its prototype is the "Elk."
The Crane Boy leads the Four Unicorns into the palace.
With a wave of his robes, Yuanshi exclaimed, "Jiang Shang, after forty years of cultivation, you have gained the merit to represent the immortals. Now, take this beast and ride towards Western Qi, where you will encounter strange creatures in the Three Mountains, Five Peaks, and Four Rivers."
"Bring the Divine Whip!"
After saying that, the Heavenly Lord of the Beginning commanded the Immortal of the South Pole to fetch a wooden whip and hand it over to Jiang Ziya.
"This whip is three feet six inches and five centimeters long, with twenty-one sections, each section having four talismans, totaling eighty-four talismans. Its name is the 'Divine Whip'."
"You can defeat the person listed on the Ranking of Gods with my help."
Jiang Ziya looked at the bizarre-looking creature and the divine whip, then glanced at the emotionless Yuan Shi Tianzun.
He felt his heart pounding and couldn't believe what he was seeing.
First time!
This is the first time he has felt valued...
After more than forty years of practicing on the mountain, he has achieved nothing, unlike his talented senior brothers.
He thought that being sent down the mountain by the master meant there was no hope for him in the future. But unexpectedly, the Primordial Heavenly Venerate intentionally cultivated him, not only giving him control over the List of Gods, but also bestowing upon him this mount and treasure.
In awe, even in the presence of the sage, he remained still for a moment.
After a moment, he quickly knelt down to accept it, his lips trembled, and he uttered, "Thank you, teacher, for your great compassion!"
Yuan Shi nodded and continued impassively, "Once you go, head towards the North Sea, where someone is waiting for you. I entrust you with this Central Wujixiangqi. There is a letter inside the flag, and when the situation becomes urgent, you should read the letter to discern the truth."
"The matter of Xi Qi cannot be delayed any longer, go!"
After saying that, Yuan Shi Tianzun waved his hand, looked at Jiang Ziya with a complicated expression, closed his eyes, and flew into the sky, perceiving the world.
After obtaining the treasure, Jiang Ziya quickly bowed and bid his farewell, leaving the Yu Xu Palace and arriving at the Qilin Cliff. Ziya got on the back of a Quad Contrary, a unique celestial beast.
This Quad Contrary truly lived up to its reputation as a divine creature of the heavens and earth. Sitting on it was spacious and stable, quite comfortable. Especially, it stepped on white clouds with its hooves, surrounded by countless beams of colorful radiance.
Who knows how much more powerful and majestic he is compared to his green-haired warhorse!
Won't Shen Xin be envious when he sees it?
Jiang Ziya felt a little proud in his heart and said, "With the help of this mount, what is there to fear from the Four Saints of Jiu Long Island?"
"Shen Xin, Shen Xin, this time you still fell short in chess, your death is imminent."
Having said that, Jiang Ziya did not hesitate, he tapped on the top of his head, and the beast emitted a red light, with a loud bell ringing, heading straight to the North Sea.
This time Kunlun Mountain Jiāng Zǐyá can be considered to have not come in vain, it is really a situation of exchanging bird guns for cannons, directly spending money on a top-level equipment set.
It is tantamount to the game master using cheats.
Although it is only temporary borrowing, how many people within the three religions can have such an honor as him?
Jiang Ziya has traveled all the way, sitting on a Four-unlike Beast and roaming the four seas. In a trance, he seems to have seen himself being appointed as a general and granted godhood.
With golden spear and iron horse, he domineers for thousands of miles like a tiger, leading his army to the southeast and breaking through the treacherous Yellow River.
Meeting the feudal lords at Mengjing, beheading King Zhou at Chaoge.
Winning fame, fortune, and power, and achieving immortality through the Dao, everything in the world is like a passing cloud.
Just as he was feeling emotional, those four nothings slowly drifted down on a mountain, not knowing when.
This mountain is close to the island, and from a distance, the peaks rise and fall. Only the sound of the wind and the waves can be heard around, with a mighty force that is boundless and endless.
This place is like an undeveloped primitive land, ancient and mysterious.
Moreover, due to its proximity to the North Sea, the seawater is icy cold, and the weather is unpredictable, with sudden changes in the blink of an eye.
After Jiang Ziya finished looking at the mountain, just as he was about to be confused, he suddenly heard a loud roar from the Si Bu Xiang, followed by a strange cloud swirling up from the foot of the mountain.
云过处生风，风响处见一物，好生跷蹊古怪。
怎见其头似驼，狰狞凶恶；项似鹅，挺折枭雄。须似虾，或上或下；耳似牛，凸暴双睛。身似鱼，光辉灿烂；手似莺，电灼钢钩。足似虎，钻山跳涧；
A beastly aura emanates from its whole body, with big round eyes glaring fiercely.
It looks like a crossbreed of all sorts, even more mixed than the four-legged beast beneath it.
And it's damn ugly.
Ugly as hell!
What kind of monster could give birth to such a thing?
As soon as Jiang Ziya saw the monster, his soul instantly left his body, and he broke out in a cold sweat.
But unexpectedly, the hideous monster's eyes flickered and it yelled at Jiang Ziya:
"Just eat a piece of Jiang meat, and you can live for ten thousand years!"
After hearing this, Jiang Ziya's heart sank, finally realizing.
"So he already knew my name, and was waiting to eat me."
The creature, seeing Jiang Ziya stunned on the side, jumped again and pointed forward boldly, shouting, "Jiang Shang, your death is imminent!"
After speaking, the Monkey King burst into laughter, holding onto his claw and causing the surrounding sea to churn, as if he already had the victory in his grasp.
In Jiang Ziya's heart, there was initially some fear, but now besides sensing that the other party's head seemed a bit crazy, it didn't seem so terrifying anymore.
And what's beneath me is a "four-unlike," which is a mount for the sage. Even if I can't beat you, I can escape.
With my heart slightly calmed, I asked in response:
"I have no grudges or grievances against you, why do you want to eat me?"
The demon grinned and replied, "No matter how eloquent you may be, you cannot escape the calamity of today!"
Seeing this, Jiang Ziya's heart stirred as he gently unfolded the apricot yellow flag in his arms and saw the note left by Primordial Heavenly Venerable inside. He suddenly realized and said, "
"So that's how it is."
Just then, Jiang Ziya's mouth slightly curled upwards, and he shouted:
"That monster, I owe you a feast, there's probably no escaping it."
"But I have a Apricot Yellow Flag in my hand. If you can pull it out, I'll let you eat; if you can't..."
"Can't pull it out? Are you kidding?" Jiang Ziya hadn't finished speaking yet, but the other person had already interrupted, mocking him.
"Who doesn't know that I have infinite strength since birth? What fear is there for a mere small flag? Quickly put it down and let you die without regrets."
姜子牙嘴角抽搐。
当即就一个好家伙，这么明显的激将法居然也有人能上当……
简直刷新了智商下线。
见对方这么配合，当即也不犹豫，把杏黄旗望地上一戮。
那旗光芒闪烁，迎风便长，直有二丈有余。
而那妖怪已经迫不及待，摩拳擦掌伸手来拔，但没想到纹丝未动；
一时间使出了吃奶的力气，便将双手只到旗根底下，把脖子挣的青筋暴起，脸色通红，同样也拔不起来。
Speaking of the apricot yellow flag, it is the most treasured possession of the Jade Void. No one below the level of a sage can break it, not even Kong Xuan or Yunxiao. Long Xu Hu is a low-intelligence child born from a dragon and a leopard, and he is even more powerless against the apricot yellow flag.
As the time approached, Jiang Ziya raised his hand and looked up into the sky. He formed hand seals and unleashed the Five Thunder Mastery technique, causing thunder and fire to collide and creating a deafening sound in the sky.
Startled, that thing let go and unexpectedly, its hand got stuck on the flag.
In the meantime, Jiang Ziya shouted loudly:
"Evil obstacle! Watch my Jade Void Thunder Law!"
The thunder in the sky grew louder, and the dark clouds became thicker and kept rolling.
This thunder law's imposing pressure was naturally a restraint for those demon monsters, and soon the monster trembled with fear.
The monster shouted anxiously in his heart:
"Jiang Ziya, you cannot kill me. Shen Dafu and Shengong Bao will avenge me!"
Huh?
How is this still related to Shen Xin?
When Ziya heard the names Shen Xin and Shengong Bao, he was instantly puzzled.
连忙问道：“你要吃我，与沈信申公豹何干？”
那妖怪色厉内荏的叫嚣道：
“你且不知，吾乃龙须虎也。自少昊时生我，采天地灵气，受阴阳精华，已成不死之身。前日申公豹往此处过。”
"Once said: Today, at this time, Jiang Ziya is outdated. If I eat a piece of his meat, I will live for thousands of years."
"And let me take your head to Chaoge and seek refuge with Doctor Shen!"
Long Xuhu said confidently:
"Let me tell you, I am Doctor Shen from Chaoge. If you kill me, Doctor Shen will not let you off easily."
"Oh!"
"So that's it!" Jiang Ziya suddenly realized. "It was Shen Gongbao playing tricks. No wonder he was waiting here to eat me."
At this point, Jiang Ziya smiled at the Dragon Whisker Tiger and shouted, "Do you know who I am?"
The Dragon Whisker Tiger nodded.
"Then you must know that Shen Xin, Shen Dafu, mentioned in your words, is my subordinate and will soon die in Xiqi!"
"See how he saves you!"
"What!"
"Impossible!" Longxu Tiger exclaimed in disbelief, muttering to himself.
"Impossible? Impossible! I, Doctor Shen, am invincible in the world. How could I die!"
Suddenly, Longxu Tiger collapsed to the ground, losing its previous arrogance. It turned out that Jiang Ziya in front of me was even more powerful than Doctor Shen.
I've really lost this time...
Jiang Ziya stood aside at the moment, blushing after speaking. In fact, he did not gain any advantage from Doctor Shen's hands. He was just boasting a bit too much just now.
He felt a little guilty in his heart.
Fortunately, Longxu Hu is impervious to criticism and cannot see through it. He hurriedly pretended and said, "Longxu Hu, your death is imminent today!"
"Immortal, please spare my life! I was foolish and ignorant for a while, daring to deceive the immortal and offend your kind and compassionate nature. Please have mercy on me, considering the hardships I have endured for a thousand years. I have built a twelve-story tower through self-cultivation. If you forgive me for this lifetime, I will be grateful for ten thousand years!"
龙须虎此刻终于是怂了，见到沈大夫都打不过姜子牙，连忙抱着杏黄旗又哭又喊。
Jiang Ziya, seeing the opponent begging for mercy, finally breathes a sigh of relief. He was not originally planning to kill him, but to bring him under his command. Then, with a serious expression, he says:
"According to your words, if you become my apprentice, I will spare you."
"Alright, alright!"
"I have no choice but to agree. Now my life is in the hands of Jiang Ziya, and there is a chance to survive. No matter what, I will agree first."
"Long Xuhu wishes to become a disciple of Master."
"I wish to become a disciple of Master."
Seeing the goal achieved, Jiang Ziya finally relaxed and said, "In that case, close your eyes."
Long Xuhu obeyed and closed his eyes. Suddenly, a thunderous sound echoed through the air, and Long Xuhu released his hands and then fell to his knees.
In his heart, he secretly thought: After all, the other party is even more powerful than Doctor Shen, so it wouldn't be wrong to worship him.
Jiang Ziya nodded and took the opportunity to accept Longxu Hu as his disciple. Then he asked:
“你在此山，可曾学得些道术？”
龙须虎恭敬的答道：“弟子善能发手有石。随手放开，便有磨盘大石头，飞蝗骤雨，打的满山灰土迷天，随发随应。”
"Alright, alright!"
姜子牙听后大喜:“此人用之劫营，必可成功，怪不得师尊让我收下他。
随后他眼见龙须虎突然又起了一点小心思
“只不过此人对那沈信好像颇有好感，万不能让其在战场上出现变故。”
“得想一个办法！”
待沉思了片刻，姜子牙眼睛猛然一亮，似乎想到了什么，当即笑眯眯的开口道：
“徒儿你可知晓，那申公豹是在骗你，吃我的肉，不可能长生不老，但有一個人却可。”
姜子牙的话勾足了胃口，长生不老这个话题永恒都在讨论，对任何人都有吸引力。
“谁？”果然一听到长生不老龙须虎眼睛瞬间亮了起来，他对长生一直有着执念，否则也不会听信申公豹一派之言，连忙问道：
“还请老师解惑。”
“呵呵！那人本是仙神临凡，数世修行的圣贤，若有人吃他一块肉，便可长寿长生。”
姜子牙捋了捋花白的长髯，最后淡笑着吐出了几个字：
“殷商沈信……”
