Xuantian Guan's leader's token was originally formed by gathering the general trend of Kaiyang Mountain.
The caves and sky inside are all based on Kaiyang Mountain, and the illusions reflect each other.
Becoming a leader and standing in Kaiyang means taking control of a dojo!
However, this 1,300-year-old Taoist tradition has never shown any signs of development.
From the first generation of ancestors to the second generation of ancestors, they have not left a single word or record.
Now the third generation patriarch and the fourth generation ancestor are all stunned.
Last time, the leader's token expanded the sea of knowledge to include Jinling outside Fenghe County.
This has shocked the two ancestors.
But this time, it inexplicably expanded again, and turned the entire Qujiang County into a dojo!
Where the tree roots extend, the scene changes.
From then on, Lu Wan stood on the top of Kaiyang Mountain, reaching Jinling in the north and Qujiang in the west. No matter the wind or grass, he could not hide it.
Even waiting for his cultivation to reach a higher level.
In one thought, the life and death of the enemies in Qujiang were at his mercy!
Even if a powerful enemy invades, when he sets foot on Qujiang, he is in a dojo and has the advantage of the terrain!
"I seem to understand vaguely."
The Fourth Patriarch suddenly realized something and said: "The Daqian Dynasty opened up territories, established official offices, and consolidated an area... Then they took advantage of the power of the local mountains and rivers, the people's will, and gathered the official seal!"
"And this official seal is often only effective within the local jurisdiction!"
"In fact, local officials, with the help of official seals, feel like they are in a dojo."
"This is similar to the teaching token of our first ancestor!"
There was a hint of excitement in his tone, and he said: "The Headmaster first beheaded the head of the Zhao family in Jinling. In full view of everyone, Jinling was now a land without an owner! No, to be precise... the Headmaster was already in the eyes of all the forces. , become the only rightful owner of Jinling!"
In the past, Xuantian Temple was regarded as the sect of the Zhao family in Jinling.
But the Zhao family in Jinling was destroyed by Lu Wan, and Xuantian Guan is the real owner of Jinling!
Therefore, the tree roots extend, and the leader's token accommodates the terrain of Jinling!
"What about Qujiang County?"
Lu Wan frowned and said.
The Fourth Ancestor continued: "Zun Yang, the domain master, sealed the power of the official seal of Qujiang County, but after you killed the cast tripod of the Pluto Sect, he noticed it and did not dare to act rashly, so he released the seal."
"But just now, the power of the official seal seemed to have gone silent."
"Based on the fact that Yu County Zun came to vote before, I guess that he should have been directly removed from the position of County Zun by Ziyang Territory Zun, even Zhenyang Prince's Mansion, or possibly the Divine Capital!"
"Judging from the situation just now, he has severed his connection with the official seal. It is probably because the official document from the imperial court has been issued, taking off his black gauze hat, stripping off his robe, and clearing his official position as a county official! "
The fourth ancestor's voice became more and more serious, filled with irrepressible shock, a little joy, but also hidden worries.
"If I haven't made any guesses, the new county magistrate of Qujiang County has not yet been decided."
"Therefore, Qujiang County, at this moment, belongs to the land of no one!"
"But you still have the official seal in your hand!"
"It stands to reason that this official seal will be passed on to the next county magistrate."
"But Thunder Tree Shadow, relying on the official seal that currently has no owner, has included Qujiang County, which has not yet determined the official position of the county, into the dojo of our Xuantian Temple's leader's token!"
"After all, you just borrowed Xu Hua and used the power of the official seal to be equal to its owner."
The Fourth Patriarch's tone became more and more complicated, and he whispered: "Now, you can be regarded as the honorable person of Qujiang County... But it is not right to say so."
Lu Wan understood what his old man meant.
The official seal of Qujiang County is lower than the official seal of Ziyang Territory.
But now that the leader's token has been integrated into it and it has become a dojo of its own, it should be beyond the control of the Purple Yang Domain's official seal.
Just like Kaiyang Mountain, located in Fenghe County.
The official seal of Fenghe County cannot affect the power of Kaiyang Mountain.
Another example is the Qujiang County Lord, who controls this county, but cannot directly shake the position of the Luo family's ancestral land.
"Now Qujiang County is also within the scope of our mountain gate and belongs to the sect's dojo."
When the Fourth Patriarch said this, his tone was even more worried.
Lu Wan immediately understood his concerns.
If Qujiang County has become the sect boundary of Xuantian Temple.
Then this Qujiang County official seal will be completely invalid even if it is handed over to the next county magistrate.
"The official seals in various places are the foundation of the Daqian Dynasty and a symbol of control over the territory."
"If the official seal is invalid, the city of God will be in turmoil. Si Tianjian is afraid that he will send out all his troops to Qujiang to investigate... Even the so-called national master will come here."
The Third Ancestor finally spoke. As the leader of the generation who pioneered the power of Xuantian Guan, she had a long-term vision, knew the changes in the situation, and understood the pros and cons.
"Expanding to Jinling is not a bad thing! But swallowing up the entire Qujiang County is not necessarily a good thing!"
"..." Lu Wan thought for a while, looked at the official seal in his hand, and whispered: "But after entering our Xuantian Temple's dojo, do we have to cut it out?"
"If it can be cut out, I might as well endure the pain and cut off this piece of meat." The Third Ancestor said in deep thought, "I'm afraid it won't be able to be cut out."
"There may not be a way."
After all, the Fourth Patriarch showed his erudite and knowledgeable side, and whispered: "Didn't the Headmaster agree to 'grant a talisman' to the White Ape and grant him the position of the Great Demon Guarding the Mountain?"
Lu Wan nodded: "It is indeed the case, but I have been busy lately. I have been working hard, and I am also concentrating on practicing, studying the method of casting the Taoist platform, and practicing the Netherworld Sword Qi..."
"You don't take this matter to your heart at all."
The Fourth Patriarch did not hesitate to expose him, and then said: "Become the Great Demon of Mountain Guarding, and be awarded the talisman. You can walk in the mountain gate dojo and take advantage of the sect's terrain!"
"Do you want that white ape to become the honorable person of Qujiang County?" The Third Ancestor suddenly realized.
"..."
The Fourth Patriarch said helplessly: "Disciple thinks that perhaps we can use this method to hide the 'talisman' in the official seal with the sect's leader's token!"
This is a wonderful idea!
If you are awarded the talisman, you will become the great demon guarding the mountain.
If the talisman is hidden in the official seal, the next county magistrate will be equivalent to receiving the talisman from Lu Wan and becoming the "mountain guardian demon" of Xuantianguan Sect!
When he saw the temple in Shuhe Town, Lu Wan once explained to Bai Yuan that there were allusions to the gods.
In the eyes of the Chengming Heavenly Master's Mansion, the gods in Daqian are not true gods. They are just "talisman-granting" monsters that guard the mountains and rivers for the imperial court.
Rather than being said to be a god, it is actually no different from the great demon guarding the mountain.
Now it seems that the next county magistrate is going to become a "god" canonized by Xuantian Temple?
"But even if the talisman is hidden in the official seal, how can it be hidden from the sky?" asked the Third Patriarch.
"A virtual flower with complete appearance can be as perfect as desired without being noticed."
Lu Wan pondered and said: "If he accepts the official seal and is granted a talisman, then it's a done deal! If you want to be more secure, you can hide a heart calamity in it!"
"What about the Purple Sun Territory Lord?"
The Third Ancestor thought again and said: "In addition, the Zhenyang Prince's Mansion at a higher level? Or even go to the Divine Capital?"
The new county magistrate of Qujiang can be easily settled.
However, higher-level court officials cannot control the situation in Qujiang County, and they will be noticed sooner or later!
"Actually, there may not be any way!"
The Fourth Patriarch thought deeply and said: "The official seal of the imperial court follows the path of 'talisman granting' from Chengming Tianshi Mansion! The basic structure and various ideas all come from Chengming Tianshi Mansion!"
The old man thought for a while and said: "Our Xuantian Temple is also the orthodox Taoist school, and it can be regarded as one of the inheritances of the Chengming Tianshi Mansion!"
"If we can analyze which talisman the official seal of the talisman belongs to, then we can use the sect leader's token to construct an identical talisman, and we can confuse the fake with the real one!"
At this point, the Fourth Patriarch fell into distress again: "But this is the official seal of the imperial court, and it is heavily banned. Even during my lifetime and in its heyday, it was difficult to analyze, and it was almost impossible to see through the basics!"
"etc!"
Lu Wan looked at the official seal in his hand and whispered: "You can't do it as an old man, but I can do it as a disciple."
"What do you think about visiting a brothel? Old people can't do it but young people can?" The Fourth Patriarch suddenly said angrily.
"Say it again?" Third Ancestor's voice became a little cold.
"Cough cough cough..." The fourth ancestor coughed quickly, indicating that he was feeling unwell.
"What the disciple means is that the official seal has been transformed into a tree root!" Lu Wan said in a low voice: "It may not be difficult to use the effect of virtual flowers, not to mention cracking, but to reveal all the various arrangements in the official seal. ?”
"Huh?" The Fourth Patriarch was surprised, and then said, "That makes sense!"
——
Among Qujiang County.
Liu Ceyu Zun frowned.
He noticed that his official seal seemed to be missing a piece.
And this area belongs to the authority of Qujiang County.
He knew that the official seal of Qujiang was not in the hands of the county magistrate, but in front of him.
"Take away the authority of the official seal?"
Liu Ce Yuzun's face was changing, and he thought: "This is shaking the foundation of Daqian... Even if you are at the peak of God Refining, you can't do it!"
He felt shocked, unbelievable, and inexplicably horrified.
But at this moment, he saw the official seal in his hand vaguely restored.
The feeling of a missing piece has gradually been made up for.
The power of manipulation in Qujiang County seems to have recovered.
Liu Ce Yuzun was a little confused for a moment, and couldn't help but thought: "Then what happened just now?"
He suddenly thought that he had concealed the secrets many times with the official seal of Ziyang Domain.
In Xiaoyue Lake in Qujiang County, the Pluto Sect made a plan, and the Xuanyang Gao family started construction to cast an altar.
And he personally took action, captured the two large cauldrons of Xuantian Temple, as well as many Taoist foundations and Qi refining, and poured them into the altar at the bottom of the lake.
Even the magistrate of Qujiang County failed to notice all this.
"Could it be that the Zhenyang Prince's Palace also covered up Qujiang County before, temporarily depriving me of the official seal of our domain and controlling Qujiang?"
As he was thinking this, he found news coming from the official seal.
The Zhenyang Prince's Mansion seemed to be asking if something had happened in Qujiang County.
When Liu Ce Yuzun saw this, he became more and more certain that it was Zhenyang Prince's Mansion, and he just took action.
If not, how come you are here to ask at this very moment?
Asking questions knowingly, with the intention of knocking!
"As a Ziyang Territory Lord, and I am in Qujiang County, I noticed in time that there have been changes here, and it is natural."
"But Prince Zhenyang's Mansion controls eight major regions, and each region has jurisdiction over many counties and towns."
"If you really want to calculate it, the scope is extremely wide. Unless King Zhenyang is concentrating on his royal seal all the time, how could he be so keenly aware of the changes in this moment and detect them immediately?"
Liu Ce Yuzun thought this way and said to himself: "This prince, I am afraid that he has discovered that I came to Qujiang County, near Kaiyang Mountain... thinks that I want to collude secretly with Master Xuantian?"
He had many thoughts and ideas in his mind.
But he didn't know that the Prince of Zhenyang was dissatisfied with him because of the incident involving the Zhao family in Jinling.
And he was even more dissatisfied with Qu Jiangyu, the official who was rumored to be working for Xuantian Temple.
Therefore, the transfer order from the Zhenyang Prince's Palace directly passed through the Ziyang Territory Palace and came to remove the Qujiang County Lord from his official position.
At this moment, the envoy from the Prince of Zhenyang is at the Qujiang County Government Office.
Therefore, King Zhenyang was able to detect it in time.
But Liu Ce Yuzun already believed that the incident was most likely a trick of the Prince of Zhenyang.
He replied with a message and only said: "In Qujiang County, a strong man who made the tripod died. It should have caused changes in the sky and affected the local destiny. It should have nothing to do with the official seal itself!"
The fall of Zhuding is a fact that cannot be concealed.
His reply was a sign of respect for the palace.
Then he downplayed it and avoided the issue of the official seal, that is, telling the prince... I knew in my heart that the prince was trying to criticize me, but I was calm and not dissatisfied at all!
At least, this is what Liu Ce Yuzun thinks about his reply this time.
——
However, at the same time, Zhuding fell.
The official seal in Lu Wan's hand raised the ninth level of ban.
Each level is a tiny formation.
One layer is deducted and the other layer is stacked, up to nine layers!
And in the middle, a rune appeared!
"It turns out to be the 'Years of Mountains and Rivers Talisman', I understand!"
The Fourth Patriarch’s voice was full of joy.
After Qujiang County was turned into Xuantian Temple's dojo just now, this "Times and Mountains and Rivers Talisman" belonging to the imperial court has completely become ineffective.
But now, as long as Lu Wan uses the leader's token, picks flowers and speaks, and imitates the mountain and river talisman of the years, everything will be successful.
"With this Mountain and River Talisman of the Years, it will no longer be different from before. I believe that the Ziyang Domain Seal can continue to control this Qujiang County Seal!"
The Fourth Patriarch had full confidence, but when he thought of something, he warned again: "But there is one thing, the headmaster must pay attention to it!"
"Ancestor, please speak."
"The master uses the power of the Shanmen Dojo to deal with the enemy, and cannot easily trigger the general trend of the mountains and rivers in Qujiang County."
"clear."
Lu Wan nodded immediately.
Now it seems that he has restored the official seal to its original state, allowing higher-level official seals to control Qujiang County beyond their level.
But in fact, this is still his dojo.
From now on, once he takes advantage of Qujiang's power, the person with the highest authority will still be Lu Wan himself!
And by that time, the imperial court's high-level official seals, such as the Ziyang Domain Seal, and even the Zhenyang Prince's Seal... will still lose control of Qujiang County!
In order to avoid being noticed by the court, Lu Wan still had to hide himself and not take advantage of Qujiang's power.
However, at this moment, Lu Wan's thoughts began to come alive.
The expansion of the dojo will play a great role in planting the Chaos Tianyuan Wood.
In addition, from Kaiyang Mountain, he can control the power of this place. Not to mention directly using the general trend to suppress the enemy, just being able to know the goings-on in this area is extremely rare!
Now that the entire Qujiang County has been acquired as a dojo, and hidden dangers can be eliminated, Lu Wan couldn't help but think to himself: "Can any unowned land be turned into a mountain gate dojo for my Xuantian Temple?"
"In this case, if Lord Bai County dies and I take the official seal, wouldn't I be able to bring the entire Fenghe County into the scope of the dojo?"
"But the situation was urgent at that time. It was really too late for the Gao family to set up a trap to harm me."
"We will make plans when we return to Fenghe County!"
Thinking about it like this, he looked towards the direction of Kaiyang Mountain and said to himself: "That's all, when I go back this time, I will first bestow the talisman on White Ape so that he can become the mountain-guarding demon of my Xuantian Temple!"
——
However, at this moment, the White Ape, although he has not been given the talisman, has already shouldered the responsibility of being the guardian demon of the mountain.
After it returned to the mountain, it began to patrol the mountain.
It raised its arm to grab a branch, swung forward, then changed its arm and grabbed the next tree.
Swinging back and forth like this seems to be playing, but in fact, the entire Kaiyang Mountain is covered by it.
Qingsui, Senior Sister Liu, and that senior brother have all returned.
Originally staying at the foot of the mountain, there was also a Qi Refining Realm disciple and two handyman disciples.
But without the instructions of the master, they stayed in the temporary hut at the foot of the mountain.
"According to the date, Qujiang Luo's craftsmen and a large amount of materials should have been selected and are on their way to be transported."
Bai Yuan thought in his heart: "Little demon, if I give it some time, I can be promoted and become a supervisor!"
It was certain in its heart that the master was studying the art of the emperor and wanted to dominate the court, so he would have to rebel sooner or later!
It can oversee work on the mountain today.
One day I will be able to supervise the country in the divine capital!
Thinking about it this way, it can be said that the future is boundless and bright.
Thinking about it this way, after swinging and swinging, we arrived at the back mountain.
But the next moment, it was stunned.
Because a black head poked out from behind the rock a little further away.
"Where is the monster?"
"Dare you offend me in Kaiyang Mountain?"
"you……"
Before Bai Yuan finished speaking, he couldn't help but asked suspiciously: "Does your kid look familiar?"
Behind the rock, the black head gradually walked out, revealing its figure. It was a big black dog!
But its eyes were full of confusion, and it barked twice, like a newborn puppy.
"..."
Bai Yuan was stunned for a long time, then suddenly remembered and said suddenly: "Are you a dog egg? No, you are a dog in the egg?"
Why was this dog born?
No, it was just born. How did it come here from Xiaoyue Lake?
Although Bai Yuan boasted that he had read poetry and books and was well-informed, he was at a loss for a while.
But as a mountain-guarding demon, if outside monsters come and approach the back mountain, it will naturally take on the responsibility of guarding the mountain!
Immediately it drew its sword and charged forward to kill him.
Although you are a puppy and may have been born not long ago, who told you to invade Grandpa Bai’s territory?
It thought like this and struck it with a sword!
Roar!
I saw the big black dog, suddenly frightened, baring its teeth, and extremely fierce!
The power, which is almost beyond the level of the foundation, is like a mountain and river, rolling down.
Plop!
The white ape immediately fell to his knees!
Its eyes were full of fear and horror.
I saw the big black dog baring its teeth and a ferocious face as it slowly approached.
"It's over, it's over. It seems like it wants to eat me. Maybe it thinks I'm too hairy to eat?"
White Ape was extremely shocked.
I saw the big black dog next to the white ape, looking at it carefully, and then began to sniff the scent, and finally gradually revealed a fierce light, and suddenly opened its mouth to devour the white ape.
But at this moment, the big black dog suddenly stiffened.
I saw the white ape sticking out his pink tongue and licking the fur of the big black dog.
"it works!"
Bai Yuan was overjoyed: "The second uncle is so powerful!"
It quickly licked the messy hair of the big black dog and smoothed it down.
The big black dog was sluggish and his eyes were in a trance.
After a long time, I saw the big black dog, tilting its head again out of instinctive comfort.
It was signaling the white ape to lick the other side.
"Okay, Mr. Dog!"
