Chapter 47 Assassination Attempt in the Palace
In the original story, Boyi Kao brought three treasures to Chaoge to save his father. He was spotted by Daji, who tried to seduce him in every way but failed. In anger, she chopped him into meatballs and made deer cakes to feed Ji Chang.
Ji Chang swallowed the food with a heavy heart, thus beginning the campaign by Xiqi against King Zhou.
After the Investiture of the Gods, Boyi Kao was appointed as the Great Emperor of the North Pole of the Central Heaven, one of the Four Emperors.
Ironically, this great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods was originally set up by Haotian to fill the positions of the gods in the Heavenly Court, but in the end, the Four Emperors were appointed to fill the positions, dividing the power of the Heavenly Court equally. Haotian gained nothing but trouble.
Now that Daji has not entered the palace, Boyi Kao will naturally not suffer the same fate.
But now that he's here, we can't let this opportunity slip by.
After a moment's thought, Yun Zhongzi patted his head, and the Obsessive Corpse emerged from behind him.
The three corpses are connected to the original body's mind; once the obsessive corpse appears, it already understands the original body's thoughts.
Yun Zhongzi distributed most of the magical power he had collected from the Chan and Jie immortals, especially the power of the Twelve Golden Immortals.
Then he handed over the Heaven-Turning Seal. The Obsessive Corpse received hundreds of clusters of magical energy and the Heaven-Turning Seal, and its figure transformed into a gentle breeze, dissipating from the spot.
Chaoge, Meridian Gate.
Bo Yikao, dressed in plain clothes and holding a memorial, had been waiting outside the Meridian Gate for five whole days.
On the sixth day, Bi Gan's carriage finally drove out of the palace gate.
Bo Yikao recognized it immediately and stepped forward, kneeling before the carriage:
"Bo Yikao, son of a disgraced official, pays his respects to the Prime Minister."
Bigan lifted the curtain and saw that Boyi Kao had been sitting on the carriage. He quickly got out and helped Boyi Kao up with both hands.
"Young Master, please rise! What brings you from so far to Chaoge?"
Bo Yikao explained his purpose: he had come to save his father and was willing to offer the seven fragrant carts, the sobering felt, the white-faced apes, and ten beautiful women left by his ancestor Gugong Danfu, as a way to atone for his father's sins.
After hearing this, Bi Gan looked troubled.
His Majesty is now wise and powerful, and does not particularly enjoy women. He even refrains from having children after completing his mission. These three treasures may be rare to others, but they are probably useless to him now.
Moreover, the imprisonment of Ji Chang was orchestrated by Grand Tutor Wen, who, despite being the deputy prime minister, had no say in the matter.
He sighed, but ultimately couldn't bear to refuse, and agreed to help deliver the memorial.
Not far from the two, the Obsessive Corpse stood nearby, its body wrapped in layers of various immortal powers, as well as a purification barrier, a bewitching immortal array, and various other magical powers.
Now that the obsessive corpse is hiding, concealing, and fleeing, even if the Medicine Master is resurrected and wields the Seven Treasures Tree, he is confident he can escape.
The next day, Bigan presented his memorial.
After reading it, Emperor Xin remained silent in contemplation.
Ji Chang has been imprisoned for nearly seven years. Xiqi has been well-behaved in these years, but most of the rebellions of the surrounding lords have been quelled, while progress in Xiqi's direction has been slow.
A country cannot be without a ruler for a day. He already had the intention of releasing Ji Chang back to the capital. Now that Boyi Kao has come to pay tribute, it is a way out.
"Bo Yikao was summoned to the palace."
The attendant announced, "Bring forth Boyi Kao to the palace!"
Not long after, Boyi Kao entered the hall.
He wore a plain robe and a bamboo hat, and walked with a leisurely gait. Behind him, servants carried three items, followed by a dozen or so women draped in light veils, each with a graceful figure.
The eyes of most of the civil and military officials in the hall were immediately drawn to the dozen or so beautiful women.
Yang Ren snorted coldly, his gaze sweeping over them like lightning, causing the ministers who had been watching intently to sheepishly look away.
Then, Yang Ren stared intently at the white ape; even though the small hand on its forehead was wrapped in white cloth, it still gave him a feeling that there was something wrong with the ape.
"Bo Yikao, son of the disgraced subject Ji Chang, pays his respects to Your Majesty."
"Rise."
After bowing and paying his respects, Boyi Kao introduced the tribute items one by one.
The Seven Fragrance Chariot was left behind by the Yellow Emperor when he defeated Chiyou, and was accidentally obtained by Danfu, the ancestor of Xiqi. People sitting on it do not need to be pushed or pulled, and can go east or west as they wish. It is the treasure of Xiqi.
That hangover-relieving mat, no matter how drunk you are, will make you feel refreshed after lying on it for a while.
That white-faced ape was skilled in three thousand short tunes and eight hundred long tunes, able to sing music before banquets and perform dances on the palm of one's hand.
Emperor Xin was not fond of women, wine, or meat, but rather of music. Upon hearing this, he was delighted: "Let that monkey play a tune."
Bo Yikao accepted the order, took the clapperboard, and handed it to the monkey.
The white ape took it, its dark eyes darting around, and its two front paws gently tapped the sandalwood clappers.
The singing was clear and melodious, like celestial music, echoing endlessly in the hall.
Di Xin closed his eyes slightly, feeling all his fatigue vanish.
The Obsessive Corpse was also hidden in the hall, its body covered with Guang Chengzi's spiritual power.
He stared at the white ape, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper.
The white ape shook its head and swayed, its song clear and melodious, yet there was a subtle, alluring quality in its eyes and brows, unlike the pure and innocent nature of ordinary spirit beasts.
Just then, the white ape suddenly stopped clapping its clappers, and the song abruptly ceased. It abruptly raised its head, a fierce glint flashing in its eyes, and with a powerful leap, it pounced straight towards Emperor Xin.
The incident happened so suddenly that the officials had not yet recovered from the singing.
Wen Zhong suddenly opened his divine eye on his forehead, and two whips, male and female, appeared out of thin air in his hand. He took a step forward and blocked Di Xin's way.
Huang Feihu reacted even faster, the golden chisel and pestle already in his hand, his leopard eyes wide open, as he charged headlong at the white figure.
Jiang Ziya's eyes, nose, and mouth spewed forth Samadhi True Fire, which transformed into a rocket and surged toward the white-faced ape.
Upon seeing this, Yang Ren's eyes widened, and his small hands, hidden under the white cloth, trembled violently. Electricity flowed between his palms, and he grasped a long spear that was entirely crackling with electricity.
The gun barrel was about twelve feet long, made of neither gold nor iron, with electric snakes crackling and popping at the tip.
All the civil and military officials in the hall were shocked. It was one thing for Grand Tutor Wen, King Wucheng, and Doctor Jiang to have such methods, but when did Doctor Yang also acquire such abilities?
Before anyone could marvel at Yang Ren's skill, three figures simultaneously pounced on the white ape.
Just then, a golden light flashed across the white ape's body, and the three of them felt a tremendous force strike them, causing them to be thrown back.
Huang Feihu slammed his back against a pillar in the palace, a sweet taste rising in his throat; Jiang Ziya's Samadhi True Fire surged back, nearly burning him.
Yang Renfei's electric spear struck the golden light as if it were an iron wall. As a novice in cultivation, even with the help of the Golden Core, he was sent flying backward, his electric spear falling to the ground, and he fell unconscious.
The white ape, with a charming expression, pounced straight at Emperor Xin.
Upon seeing this, Di Xin flew into a rage and ripped away Wen Zhong, who was blocking his way.
Caught off guard, Wen Zhong was pulled backward by the immense force of Emperor Xin.
Di Xin's body was like a furnace, his golden-backed sword already in his hand. Instead of retreating, he advanced and slashed down at the white ape.
The blade and the golden light collided with a muffled thud, and the golden light was almost cleaved in two.
Di Xin was also surprised, his face hardened, and the golden-backed sword hummed as he exerted his strength once more.
The white-faced ape looked fearful, when suddenly an even more powerful golden light struck.
The obsessive corpse could see clearly that the golden light, the seven-colored silk threads that bewitched Emperor Xin in Nuwa's Palace, and the red mist that seeped into Nezha's brow on the banks of the Nine Bends River all originated from the same source.
Western religion.
Has the Western religion sent people again?
The Pharmacist has been listed on the Investiture of the Gods, and there are no more Great Luo Golden Immortals among his second-generation disciples. Who will be sent this time?
Seeing that Di Xin was in grave danger, he no longer hesitated, spun the Heaven-Turning Seal in his hand, and threw it forward.
