At this moment, the sound of footsteps came in from the outside. The two Taoists looked around and saw Taoist Jingming coming from outside the hall.
The sound comes from far to near.
"Uncle Fifth Master, let me do it this time!"
Taoist Jingming was wearing a moon-white plain brocade robe with very wide sleeves. He had a hairpin on his head and had a handsome face.
"Master's nephew!"
Taoist Dongxiao turned around, and Taoist Dongjue also sat up from the Taishi chair. She looked worried.
"Nephew, you...?"
Taoist Jingming waved his hands, his expression was full of calm, and at the same time his eyes fell in front of the picture of reaching hell to teach Taoism. He just took one look and understood Zhang Jian's intention.
This picture can only be used by immortal cultivators with great wisdom, great perseverance, and a fearless spirit of sacrifice. In the hands of others, it is just a piece of waste paper.
Apparently, Zhang Shidu also looked down on those who were timid and wanted to take advantage of others.
Taoist Dongxiao was not Zhang Jian’s ideal candidate.
Taoist Dongxiao's face changed slightly when he heard this, his face flushed a little, and he said in a deep voice.
"Master nephew, since this matter has been left to my uncle, he is naturally obliged to help you handle it!"
"Mission?"
Taoist Jingming shook his head secretly when he heard this, but said with a smile on his face.
"Uncle Fifth Master, I know that you have a heart for boxing, but I just went to personally inspect the dragon veins of the Shu Kingdom. Although the essence of the previous dragon veins is gone, the core dragon soul inside is probably still there. It’s beyond what my uncle can handle!”
"Resentful Dragon Soul?"
Upon hearing this, Taoist Dongxiao's face changed, his mouth moved, and he immediately stopped talking.
Taoist Dongjue's jade face also lost some color.
"Senior nephew, wasn't the dragon soul of Shu killed by senior brother? How could there be any dragon soul left?"
The earth's dragon veins are usually able to breed strange objects such as dragon souls. This object, combined with the cauldron of a dynasty, can be transformed into a national-protecting divine object with unparalleled power.
But with the fall of the dynasty, the earth's dragon veins changed their paths, or were dissipated by the backlash of luck, or were extracted to refine treasures by immortal cultivators, or beheaded.
Although the dragon veins of the Shu Kingdom have been preserved, the dragon souls of the Shu Kingdom have long been suppressed and annihilated by the ancestors of the Dongshen Cult.
It should be impossible for a dragon soul to exist deep in the dragon veins of Shu!
"It is indeed the remnant of the dragon soul!" Taoist Jingming's face was calm, and he was very sure of his judgment.
This is not the dragon soul from the previous Shu Kingdom, but a dragon soul that was re-bred by the Shu Kingdom's dragon veins over the past hundreds of years.
This dragon soul is hidden among countless dragon resentments and may have become demonic, but no matter what, its power is unquestionable.
But there is no doubt that it is precious.
This is the reason that prompted Taoist Jingming to escape seclusion at all costs.
…
Zhang Jian was currently in the No. 1 Scholar's Mansion, waiting for the arrival of distinguished guests, while also polishing his Yin Shen magic power.
His Yin Shen's mana grew extremely fast, partly from the fusion of his diamond soul, and partly from the many precious medicines in his body.
These precious medicines are like treasure houses. After being opened, they turn into essence and continuously fuel the magic power of Yin Shen.
Save him a lot of trouble.
There is no need to work hard for decades and find ways to go to some special secret realms and ruins to search for elixirs, or try to get some special innate wisdom to supplement one's own magic power.
Although immortal cultivators live long lives, time is also precious.
Although Lord Yin Shen has a lifespan of nearly three thousand years, he can be said to have an extremely long lifespan.
Some special Yin Shen Lords possess some special secrets of life extension, and it is not a big problem to live for one or two thousand more years. They can go to some special secret realms, or travel through the stars through the void realm.
But for Lord Yin Shen, every time he practices a Yin Shen spell or even survives a great catastrophe, it takes time to recover. Even after exploring some special ruins, he will be injured and it will take time.
If it is not allocated properly, time will still not be enough.
In the end, the body will still decay, and the Yin God can only escape into the Nine Netherworld, become a ghost, or embark on reincarnation.
Although Zhang Jian entered the Yin Shen realm at a young age, for him, the situation in Daqian Chaotang was changing rapidly, and he must have enough strength to ensure that no accidents would occur.
When the Zhang family gains momentum, it must have the deterrent power to suppress all enemies.
Of course, Zhang Jian is also accumulating strength, waiting to reach the Ninth Five-Year Plan, and use this to cultivate the Sheji Yuan Shen.
Taking the map of mountains and rivers as the foundation of the soul, once the power of mountains and rivers is used to achieve success, Zhang Jian calls it the emperor's soul.
The spirit of the emperor of Sheji.
At that time, he will be comparable to the achievements of the ancient saint kings, and he will also dominate the world and dominate the era.
Zhang Jian finished his practice. At this time, he looked towards the top of his head. As the wisdom around him converged, he looked around and saw that the jujube tree seemed to have wisdom. There were dozens of round yellow jujubes falling down. They were big and plump.
"You old jujube tree is quite clever!"
Seeing this scene, Zhang Jian smiled slightly.
This jujube tree was nourished by his magic power for several years, and gradually developed spirituality and was nourished by his magic power. As spring passed and autumn came, it also received blessings and became a spiritual tree.
"But a dozen won't be enough. There will be distinguished guests coming to the mansion later, so give some of your money!"
Hearing this, the jujube tree trembled slightly, and dozens of shimmering red dates fell from the top of the tree. Each one was round and full of agility.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Jian asked the maid to go to the small kitchen to make a few snacks and dishes.
Soon after, the concierge came in to announce that Chao Mu, the chief steward of the inner court and the commander of the black-clad guards, came to visit.
Zhang Jian smiled slightly and did not go to greet him. He just asked someone to bring Chao Mu in.
Hearing the footsteps behind him, Zhang Jian smiled.
"The Chief Chao came to the humble abode in person and did not go to the door to greet me personally. Please forgive me!"
Chao Mu's eyes fell on a few dishes of side dishes and two plates of jujubes under the jujube tree, but he had a smile on his face.
He didn't take it seriously, because he came here to ask Zhang Jian for help. Of course, he couldn't care about Zhang Jian's "negligence". He was now worried about whether Zhang Jian was willing to help.
"Mr. Zhang is serious. With such good wine and food, I can't even be happy!"
Zhang Jian made a gesture!
He immediately sat down with a smile on his face.
Zhang Jian understood clearly when he saw this. He obviously guessed correctly. Chao Mu came here to ask for his help. He picked up the jade in his hand and just sat down with Chao Mu to talk about some interesting things about the wine table and what he had seen in the court.
When Chao Mu saw Zhang Jian's expression, his eyes moved and he smiled.
"Mr. Zhang, to be honest, I entered the Zhang Mansion this time because I have something to ask for. Please help me with this big favor!"
Chao Mu was not going to beat around the bush at this time. He didn't talk about helping the court, he just talked about himself, and he was full of sincerity.
Zhang Jian said immediately after hearing the words.
"Please speak up to the manager!"
The Chao Mu then said: "Mr. Zhang is not a mortal, so let me tell you straight. Mr. Zhang attended the morning court a few days ago, and he should also know the nightmare that His Majesty mentioned in the court. This dream is not false. A few days ago, On the same day, another villain attacked a former forbidden area in front of Chengguang Gate and released the dragon-veined resentment evil in the forbidden area. This dragon-veined resentment evil went berserk and countless resentful evil spirits were scattered, causing some people to mutate!
Although the situation was immediately controlled by my black-clothed guards, and most of the dragon-veined resentment was restrained, it was still unable to be refined. This is also the reason why Your Majesty recruited many high-level practitioners to enter Haojing City!
But I heard that Mr. Zhang has another magical method in his hand, which can be used to purify and absorb the resentment in the dragon's veins. Could you please Mr. Zhang to help us get rid of this problem? After this is done, the court will definitely not treat Zhang badly. Such a hero sir! "
Chao Mu slightly arched his hands.
At this time, he could no longer regard Zhang Jian as a simple scholar and civil servant.
The Zhang Jian in front of him is a strong man who doesn't know the depth of his skills.
To be honest, if Zhang Jian had not repeatedly helped the court resolve disasters, he had reason to suspect that it was Zhang Jian in front of him who opened the three-eye evil-suppressing well...
Zhang Jian's face stood solemn at this time.
"I have also heard about the rampage of the Dragon Veined Resentful Evil. This is a great disaster. If the Dragon Veined Resentful Evil spreads and escapes into the major earth veins of Haojing City, I am afraid that the poison will be far-reaching. I am also responsible for this matter and will help. The imperial court, give your majesty a helping hand!”
Chao Mu's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but praise.
"Mr. Zhang is indeed loyal and courageous. The court has a talented person like Mr. Zhang to help. This is a blessing for the court and the people!"
Zhang Jian's face was calm, and he just said calmly: "But please tell the manager the details about the situation in the dragon vein, so that I can make some preparations!"
“And don’t miss it!”
"This is as it should be!"
Chao Mu nodded, and some of the doubts in his eyes dissipated at this time.
In the eyes of many ministers in the court, Zhang Jian is upright and loyal, because he has the aura given by his awe-inspiring righteousness.
The first impression that the sages of previous dynasties had on everyone was that of loyalty, so no one would have any doubts.
Since the Zhang Jian in front of him is full of great righteousness, he is no different from the sages of the past generations.
But Chao Mu always had some doubts in his heart. He felt that there were always some doubts about Zhang Jian. Now that Zhang Jian promised without any conditions, Chao Mu put these doubts to rest.
Being able to unconditionally help the court eliminate the resentment of Dragon Vein, this compassion is genuine, and his previous doubts must have been nothing.
Chao Mu really did not expect that there could be a situation like Zhang Jian's in the world. First, he had the heart of a sage, and then he had the awe-inspiring righteousness.
This awe-inspiring righteousness was not cultivated by Zhang Jian himself, but came from an external object.
However, Zhang Jian does have a compassionate heart, but he is loyal to himself, and his compassion for others is not because of the imperial court, but because of the people of Li.
His awe-inspiring righteousness is strengthened by mountains, rivers and people, not by anything else.
…
A month goes by in a blink of an eye.
As time went by, the city inside and outside Haojing became more and more lively.
There are more and more Taoists entering the country from various counties, including some who are famous all over the world. As soon as these Taoists entered the capital, they became the guests of the princes, nobles and even the princes in the city.
Compared with this incident, the Luancai Hall where the Ministry of Rites Examination was held in early February was much less popular.
This month, Zhang Jian went to the Cultural and Sports Institute for most of his normal duties. In his free time, he occasionally went into the east study room to borrow classics, and he was not in a hurry.
Of course, he did not forget to polish his magic power during this time.
The third calamity of the Yin God is called the Wandering Calamity, which is also called the Wuwu Calamity.
This calamity is far more dangerous than the other two calamities before. Even if he is full of righteousness, Zhang Jian must make some preparations to avoid being caught off guard.
In fact, during this period, Zhang Jian wanted to take this opportunity to explore the core areas of the dragon veins of the Shu Kingdom. However, for some unknown reason, Chao Mu has been using the excuse that the Daqian court was adding altars and was mapping the actual and false dragon veins of the Shu Kingdom. rejected him.
Zhang Jian vaguely guessed that there was something hidden inside. He was also curious about this and was trying to find out.
The detection method he learned from "Mirror Menstruation" is quite magical, but he also found some clues.
However, because there are no specific examples and experiences, it is not possible to draw definite conclusions yet.
…
Deep in the Dongling Tomb, Yuan Geng was sitting in the Qitian Bureau, frowning, his face gloomy at this time.
Just listen to him yelling angrily: "Those guys in Qin Tiantai are really useless. They can't find the dragon soul after such a long time. How can I raise a bunch of wine bags and rice bags?!"
Chao Mu stood aside, frowning and saying calmly.
"We don't have much time left. If we can't find the dragon vein again, we can only hold the Taiping Zhai Jiao Dharma Ceremony as planned!"
Chao Mu also looked a little helpless.
The dragon soul is the same as a real dragon, possessing some of the characteristics of a real dragon. It can be big or small, and is very good at hiding.
If the emperor's corpse is still there, we can fish it out based on the connection between the emperor's corpse and the dragon vein of Shu.
But the emperor's corpse was gone.
There is nothing they can do.
The only person with the ability to find the dragon soul is the professional "Dong Shen Cultist"!
However, the ancestors of the Dongshen Cult are still operating deep in the wilderness at this juncture.
Chao Mu and Yuan Geng both looked at each other with big eyes and small eyes, and you could see the helplessness in each other's eyes.
Dragon souls are a good thing, especially an ownerless dragon-veined dragon soul.
Once captured, it can be used to practice magic to cultivate into a true dragon that protects the law, which is equivalent to an extra soul-level guardian soul. Needless to say, there are benefits in fighting magic.
The most rare thing is that it also has considerable growth potential and can grow with the growth of its own path.
Used to refine weapons, it is enough to refine a soul-level spiritual treasure.
Maybe there is hope of cultivating a True Lord Spiritual Treasure.
"Has any news come back from Brother Dongshen Taoist?"
Yuan Geng looked at Chao Mu.
Chao Mu shook his head and said. "No!"
Yuan Geng's eyes fluctuated.
Chao Mu suddenly had a thought in his mind and asked, "If we completely remove the resentment in the dragon's veins, will Taoist brother have a way to find the dragon soul?"
"Do you have any idea?"
Yuan Geng looked stunned.
"You just need to tell me, is it okay or not?"
Chao Mu ignored Yuan Geng.
Yuan Geng snorted: "Of course, most of that dragon vein is now surging and expanding. After it is purified, how much dragon vein essence will be left? At worst, we will absorb it completely. How can the dragon soul escape?" !”
"The question is, can you clear out the resentful dragon veins?! Without the Taiping Zhai Jiao Dharma Assembly, how can you completely save them!"
Chao Mu's eyes fluctuated and he said.
"It doesn't hurt to try!"
…
In front of Chengguang Gate
Several kilometers around here have been completely controlled by the imperial guards in black, and there are densely packed altars all around.
Many Taoists from Dongshen Temple are busy there.
Zhang Jian and Chao Mu appeared in front of the door. Zhang Jian's eyes flashed strangely at this moment.
He can also be considered as revisiting his old place.
But this time, he entered here openly.
At this time, in Zhang Jian's spiritual eyes, he could see many dragon-veined grievances like a volcano about to erupt. The accumulation of dragon-veined grievances below was astonishing.
These dragon resentments may be a huge disaster in the eyes of other Taoists, but in his eyes, they are treasures that can save him many years of practice!
Different levels of understanding of the power of heaven and earth will lead to different perspectives on problems!
But in his eyes, these dragon-veined resentful evil spirits are purely God-given resources to advance the Qinglian Soul Purifying Curse.
