Suddenly, Tang Ping came to Qian Chao's residence with the thick booklet given by Tang Bonian.
When she pushed the door open and entered, she found that Qian Chao was not in the courtyard, so Tang Ping called out:
"Money boy!"
Qian Chao's voice came from inside:
"Here you are, come in."
Qian Chao was behind the desk in the room, which was filled with various books and maps spread out on the floor, on the desk and on the bed.
Tang Ping was not surprised at all by this scene. She glanced at Qian Chao's desk and saw that it was the copies of the two maps he had copied from Zuo You when he compared them with each other in Ruixuan Town.
"Do you know where those two maps are?" Tang Ping asked.
"Now I only know one place." Qian Chao said.
"Oh, where is it? Quickly point it to me."
Qian Chao pulled out a map that was so large that it couldn't fit on the entire desk, scratched it with his finger, then pointed at a location and said:
"Hey, this is it."
Tang Ping frowned and looked at it for a while, then took a map that Qian Chao had traced in Ruixuan Town and looked at it for a while before saying:
"Is this here? Are you mistaken?"
Qian Chao shook his head, took another map he traced from under the map and gave it to her, and said:
"You made a mistake, this one is correct."
Even so, after Tang Ping glanced back and forth between the two maps, she still didn't understand why Qian Chao was sure that the small map in his hand was a point on this large map.
"How are you sure?"
"Look here," Qian Chao said, pointing to a spot on the map in Tang Ping's hand. "Did you see that this place is a mountain peak called Sajinding. The underground water veins gush out from the top of the mountain, forming an endless A small pool of water then poured down on the north side of the mountain, forming a medium-sized waterfall. This place also has a name, called Lianwu Mountain. The mountain is like a bead curtain made of water beads, and it has a beautiful scenery of dense water vapor all year round, so it has this name."
Then Qian Chao took a few more maps from the side, pointed to a certain part of one of the maps and said:
"Look here again. This is the map I got from Jiuxuan Library. Look, is the water pool drawn on the top of the mountain almost the same as the map in your hand? Even the nearby mountain shape is the same. Similar maps I also found several maps, and they all matched the one in your hand, so I confirmed the location of this map, but I haven’t found the location of the other map yet.”
After hearing this, Tang Ping nodded and asked again:
"Then...is there anything different about this Liangwu Mountain? Why did Wen Liang want to get this map?"
This... is the crux of the problem.
Qian Chao did not answer directly, but smiled softly and said:
"This time in Ruixuan Town, I asked Mr. Zhuang a question and asked Mr. Zhuang to teach me. I asked him what is the feasible way to completely destroy a large sect like the Wuling Sect..."
Tang Ping knew as soon as she heard that Qian Chao actually asked Mr. Zhuang about Wen Liang. She didn't know about Wen Liang's plan, but she could see from those letters that if what he planned was really done, he would definitely give Wu Lingzong causes great damage.
"What did Mr. Zhuang say?" Tang Ping asked.
"Mr. Zhuang immediately asked me if I knew anything. Then, I told Mr. Zhuang about Wen Liang. Later, I also told Mr. Zhuang that I suspected that what Wen Liang wanted to do was to change. The direction of the spiritual veins in our Five Spirit Sect will cause the disappearance of several major spiritual veins that originally converged with the sect, which may lead to the sect's decline."
This was also Tang Ping's guess, so after listening, she asked again:
"Then...what did Mr. Zhuang say in the end?"
"Mr. Zhuang said, how can it be so simple? There are two things. The first is that once the spiritual veins change, the elders and seniors in our sect will definitely find that if Wen Liang can change the past, then the people of our Five Spirit Sect will also If you can find it and change it back, and you will also discover Wen Liang's intention, you will definitely not let him go. Therefore, Mr. Zhuang feels that Wen Liang's intention must not be what I said. But we did find it at Pinghaifeng this time. Two spiritual veins that should have converged there are missing..."
When Tang Ping heard that it was related to Pinghai Peak, it was also related to the place where the Qingluan spawned. She immediately became energetic and asked:
"Yes, you did say that two spiritual veins disappeared there. What did Mr. Zhuang say?"
"Mr. Zhuang didn't say anything, but that's the second thing..."
As he spoke, Qian Chao took out a book from his body and placed it on the desk, saying:
"Hey, Mr. Zhuang gave it to me."
Tang Ping took the book in her hand, looked at the title, and said:
""The Theory of Jingwei", this is..."
"What is recorded in this book is the science of spiritual veins. How the world's spiritual veins operate, interact, influence, change, gather, etc. are all in this book. The changes in the spiritual veins all follow the rules, and the world's spiritual veins The pulse is like a big net, almost everywhere in the sky and on the earth. Any change in the spiritual vein must have its roots. Mr. Zhuang first asked me to read this book in full, and then explained to me in detail, Finally, Mr. Zhuang found a map and marked out the main spiritual veins that our Wuling Sect gathered together. According to the rules in "Jingwei Theory", he assumed that if those main spiritual veins were changed and disappeared, Now, let me show him what changes it will cause on the map one by one..."
When he said this, Qian Chao's face became serious and he looked at Tang Ping.
"Tang Yatou, if something like that really happens, according to the rules in this "Jingwei Theory", the world in our Wuling Sect will really be turned upside down, and the sun and the moon will hang upside down!"
"Then... doesn't it mean that this method can be detrimental to our sect?"
"But this is what I said above. Before all this happens, the elders in the sect will definitely stop it in time. It is impossible to let this happen. After all, if there is a change in the spiritual veins, we can all feel it, and those The elders, especially the ancestors on Yuhu Mountain, are the first to notice that this is the foundation of our Five Spirits Sect. Once it happens, the sky will collapse and the jade pot will collapse, not to mention the elders like Senior Tang. , even those ancestors would not allow this to happen."
Tang Ping nodded. What Qian Chao said was indeed a terrifying scene, but it also rejected their suspicions about Wen Liang's plan.
"Then... what will Wen Liang plan? Also, what happened to the two spiritual veins that disappeared from Pinghai Peak?"
"We can check carefully at Pinghaifeng to help you find the Green Luan Egg. We really have to go to Pinghaifeng again, but..." Qian Chao said and took the egg that Tang Ping had held in his hand. He took the map over again and clicked on it with his finger, "There is still something fishy about this map, haven't you noticed?"
"What's weird?"
"Look," Qian Chao said, using his finger to find the location of Lianwu Mountain on the largest map, and then slowly swiping his finger to one side while saying, "Lianwu Mountain is here, and then to the northwest of it. Do you have any impressions here?"
"Where is this?" Tang Ping had no impression of this. Geography, mountains and rivers were not her specialty.
"There are five peaks in a circle around here. Spiritual grass is everywhere, but there are no monsters or birds. There is a small hill in the middle of the five peaks. I once sat there for an entire afternoon. Brother Li said at that time that in that small hill There is an extremely powerful and extremely weak beast imprisoned under the mountain..."
Now Tang Ping thought about it, and she looked at Qian Chao in surprise:
"Heaven and Earth...Heaven and Earth Cage! Is it the same Heaven and Earth Prison we visited before we went to Hongxia Valley?"
(As for the Cage of Heaven and Earth, since there are quite a lot of words in the story below, if readers are unfamiliar with it, you can refer to Volume 4: Trial Feather, Chapters 153 to 156: Cage of Heaven and Earth , and Volume Four One Hundred and Eighty-Three: The Beauty from Far Away, all the foreshadowing in the previous chapters will always be used later, but there are more words between them.)
"That's right there." Qian Chao said calmly.
"Taotie... Taotie!"
Tang Ping's eyes were widened, and she was shocked beyond words.
Just a long time ago, the five of them had been to Hongxia Valley, and before experiencing that night's adventure in Hongxia Valley, the five of them stayed in that strange heaven and earth cage for a long time, which was surrounded by five peaks. Under the hill in the middle, there is a ferocious beast that can be said to be sleeping in it, or it can be said to be imprisoned there. It is both extremely powerful and extremely weak. In Qian Chao's Blue Eyes Technique, the ferocious beast and There were formations all around him, which was the reason why the ferocious beast was imprisoned. It was also that experience that made Qian Chao's rune skills improve a lot. He also drew the ferocious beast under the mountain. After returning to the sect, Tang Ping came to see him. From Fairy Guhuo, Tang Ping got an ancient brocade scroll with all the paintings on it. Among the most notorious evil beasts in the world is the one that Qian Chao drew on paper... Taotie!
A ferocious beast at the true spirit level!
"You...you mean Wen Liang's plan is...!"
"Mr. Zhuang said that our Wuling Sect is a land of crouching tigers, hidden dragons. Some places are extremely auspicious, and some places are extremely dangerous. They are just suppressed, so they are always safe. Haha, he said I didn't understand the meaning of this sentence until I found the two maps given by Zuo You. The only thing not drawn on the map of Lianwu Mountain was the Heaven and Earth Prison, and it was right in the middle of the map. Only then did I realize that the place not shown on the map is the most important place, well, it should also be the place Wen Liang wants to know the most."
"Does Wen Liang have the ability to release that Taotie?"
"Why not? In fact, the difficult thing is to trap Taotie in the formation, but it is not difficult to release it. At least it can be done as long as you are willing to put in the effort. Just destroy the tactics that trap it. If the formation is If the magic is difficult to destroy, there are ways to do it. The formation that traps Taotie runs on the spiritual veins. If you start with the spiritual veins, the spiritual veins change and the formation becomes invalid, it is equivalent to releasing it! "
"Oh my God……"
"That's not the most terrifying thing, Girl Tang. Remember what I said before, there are a total of nine cages similar to the one we found in the Five Spirits Sect's realm..."
"You mean... Wen Liang wants to release them all?"
"It is very possible that Wen Liang hates the Five Spirits Sect, and what he is planning almost only has one chance. If this is the case, then the Five Spirits Sect should be severely damaged at least once to be considered as revenge."
Seeing Tang Ping in a daze, Qian Chao smiled and said:
"But I think he may not be able to get it. You see, he asked for these two maps from the aristocratic families he interacted with from the outside. I guess he may not have even found all nine heaven and earth cages by now. Maybe he has found one. Two, but definitely not all, that's why he wanted to get these maps. And...if we continue to search from Pinghai Peak, maybe we can start from the disappeared spiritual veins and find the heaven and earth cage that we don't know yet. If he really does something, we will definitely be able to find it, and even if we can't catch him, we can inform the sect of this so that we can take precautions."
