After Zhou Tian mastered the third form of Chaotic Star Sword Technique, Zhang Jian decided that enough was enough.
Although Zhang Jian felt that if he continued to delve deeper, he would have the hope of renovating the Chaos Star Sword Art and innovating it.
But Zhang Jian's current priority is to continue to improve the map of the mountains and rivers, complete the authority of the country, and prepare for the fifth calamity of the Yin God.
After passing through the fifth calamity of Yinshen, one can truly transcend life and death, cancel the death certificate, and gain the body of growth.
This is also the most original wish of all immortal cultivators.
Zhang Jian stepped into the courtyard. There were sparse trees in the courtyard, and Zhang Fu was trimming the overgrown branches with the gardener.
In the blessed land, the overly strong spiritual energy kept the gardeners in the house busy. They always found that the fruit trees and grass in the garden grew very fast.
At this time, Zhang Zhao and Zhang Changan were playing and playing under the jujube tree. When they heard Zhang Jian's footsteps, they couldn't help but look at them.
"Daddy!"
Zhang Changan was the first to call out and ran over quickly.
Zhang Changan is seven years old this year. The little girl is wearing a light green coat and skirt and is full of energy.
Zhang Jian and Qi Yuhua both have excellent looks, and the little girl's facial features are even more exquisite.
Seeing the sweat on her face, Zhang Jian smiled slightly, picked her up and spun her around.
The feeling of wandering in the galaxy for hundreds of millions of years, and the eternal cold loneliness seem to be far away in an instant.
Zhang Zhao also ran over. He looked extremely quiet and reserved. He looked at Zhang Changan and Zhang Jian with a somewhat envious expression.
When Zhang Jian saw him standing aside, he immediately stepped forward and patted his head. Zhang Zhao was still a little cautious. In his impression, his father had always been dignified since he was a child. The happiest time is at night, when the brothers and sisters can be allowed to play and play in the courtyard, have late-night snacks, make various pastries, snacks, barbecue, etc.
Just thinking about this, he still missed his elder brother Zhang Yi a little.
On the other side, Zhang Fu's eyes lit up slightly when he saw Zhang Jian, and he hurriedly stepped forward.
Seeing Zhang Fu's expression, Zhang Jian knew something might have happened.
He had ordered Zhang Fu to pay attention to all kinds of news in Haojing City before he retreated for half a month. It seemed that Haojing City was not peaceful during his retreat.
"My lord, the second master of Dingyuan Marquis Mansion was found three days ago!"
Seeing Zhang Fu's solemn look, Zhang Jian's eyes moved.
"Did something happen to him?"
Zhang Fu nodded and said: "Master, Mr. Song Er is dead!"
"He died in the hands of the Dalang Lord of the Hancheng Marquis Mansion. It is said that he was discovered by the guards of the Hancheng Marquis Mansion when he was escaping. During the arrest, Mr. Song resisted and killed several people, so..."
Zhang Fu looked solemn.
Zhang Jian frowned when he heard this. This was a deadly feud.
Marquis Dingyuan has lost his brother, and he cannot let it go no matter what. Otherwise, how can he continue to unite his people and the wings around him.
If you can't even protect your own people and seek justice, how can others believe in you?
Even if both families know it, there might be something weird here.
Zhang Jian looked around: "Did the black-clad guards investigate anything?"
Zhang Fu shook his head and said.
"My lord, most of our brothers in the black guards are on the periphery, so we can't find out any useful information!"
Zhang Jian nodded.
The Zhang family also has its own intelligence organization, but this kind of intelligence organization only stays at the mortal level. Once it encounters an extraordinary organization like the Black Guards, it basically doesn't have much effect.
Zhang Jian also didn't care. Such an extraordinary organization could not be prepared in a matter of seconds. Unless one used leftist or magical methods, it would also take a long time to operate.
But that doesn't mean much to Zhang Jian.
Facing high-level immortal cultivators, such intelligence organizations are also just numbers.
High-level immortal cultivators may not be able to take action against warriors with dragon energy, but they don't have much scruples about these immortal cultivators.
Zhang Jian asked about several other targets of concern to the Zhang family in Haojing City.
Zhang Jian has recently sent people to approach these targets, but he has not taken control of them. Instead, he secretly observes the 'weaknesses' of these generals. If the time is right, he can take advantage of the situation and capture these people. This is what Zhang Jian needs to do next. of.
There wasn't much time left for him.
Zhang Fu smiled slightly and said: "My lord, I have gained a lot from this matter!"
"The Hou Chongli of Philadelphia and several young generals in the court are mostly focusing more on their own martial arts progress, but one of them whom the Lord asked to pay attention to seems to have encountered trouble recently..."
"Oh, who is it?"
Zhang Jian's eyes moved.
"Zhao Qingshan, son of General Zhennan..."
Zhang Jian's eyes moved. Zhao Qingshan was no stranger to him.
When Shanyang County rebelled, Zhao Qingshan and Qi Yi participated in the counter-rebellion. However, the son of General Zhennan was later involved in a jealousy incident with a clan prince and received a cold reception.
At present, he is still just a commander of the Imperial Guards, and he is in charge of three to five thousand Imperial Guards. However, this kind of authority is not worth mentioning among the two hundred thousand Imperial Guards.
Zhang Jian nodded in approval.
"You did well!"
Zhang Fu bowed slightly.
But not long after Zhang Jian showed up, Taoist Jingming hurried over.
Looking at the many disciples behind Taoist Jingming and the gifts held in the hands of the disciples, Zhang Jian's lips twitched. Looking at Taoist Jingming's posture, it was obvious that he had encountered some big trouble.
Just as Zhang Jian expected, Taoist Jingming ordered all the Taoists to leave the gifts in their hands and left the hall first, and then said to Zhang Jian.
"Scholar Zhang, it's a bit presumptuous to come here unexpectedly!"
"..."
Zhang Jian glanced at Taoist Jingming, his eyes fluctuating. Dongshen Temple already owed him a lot of favors. If he owed him any more, it might not be enough to compensate him for the entire Dongshen Temple.
However, Zhang Zhao has already become a disciple of Dongshen Guan. Although he has not directly become a disciple, he has entered the lower courtyard of Dongshen Guan to practice. He does not look at the monk's face and the Buddha's face, but he still shows some kindness to him.
"If you have something to say, Imperial Master, just speak up!"
Zhang Jian smiled slightly.
Hearing this, Taoist Jingming relaxed and smiled bitterly in his heart.
In fact, he came to look for Zhang Jian again and again and asked Zhang Jian for help, which made him feel a little guilty.
But Zhang Jian's help is indeed indispensable for the matter at hand.
he sighed.
"I wonder if Academician Zhang noticed the unusual sign half a month ago?"
Zhang Jian nodded slightly: "The sky shows strange signs. Since ancient times, there have been no two days in the sky. I am afraid that the Daqian Kingdom will be unstable. Could it be that the Dongshen Temple has found another 'rebel' with the destiny of Ziwei Star?" ?”
Taoist Jingming shook his head slightly.
"That's not true. When the hidden dragon has not manifested, it is extremely difficult to lock it. Even my Cave God Observation can't do anything about it!"
He glanced at Zhang Jian, thought for a moment, and then used his seal for a moment, suddenly sealing the hall and covering it with an invisible barrier.
Seeing how cautious he was, Zhang Jian's eyes moved.
"Scholar Zhang must have gotten the news from the senior 'Five Dragons'. Is there another secret in my Daqian Dragon Veins?"
Zhang Jian shook his head and said: "That's true!"
The Taoist "Five Dragons" had a formal contract with Dongshen Temple before taking action. The Taoist "Five Dragons" could not spread what he saw and heard in the dragon veins.
But he had experienced this personally, so he naturally knew the truth inside.
Hearing this, Taoist Jingming smiled slightly and said: "Senior 'Five Dragons' are really trustworthy, but it's not a bad idea to inform Academician Zhang about this!"
Seeing the expression on Taoist Jingming's face, Zhang Jian's heart moved. It seemed that Taoist Jingming had obviously regarded him as the closest ally of Dongshen Temple. In this case, he might be able to find out from the mouth of this national master what was deep in the dragon's veins. The reality of this treasure!
Hearing this, Zhang Jian shook his head and said. "Since this matter is related to the secrets of the Daqian royal family, I am just an outsider and a minister, but it is inconvenient for me to inquire into the secrets of the royal family!"
Taoist Jingming smiled.
"Xueshi Zhang is a minister of the imperial court and a friend of Jingming. He has a close relationship with His Majesty, but he is not an outsider!"
His face was clear.
"..."
Zhang Jian had a feeling that he was obviously a future rebel, but in the end, he had already penetrated into the core of the opponent's organization, and he would definitely get a higher position in the future.
But it's useless no matter how high the position is.
He had no intention of boarding the broken ship of Da Qian Chaotang.
Especially after realizing that the Daqian royal family has been stealing the destiny of heaven and earth, and after refining treasures with dragon veins and dragon energy for their own family, they have no intention of being bound to it.
However, Taoist Jingming had already spoken to this extent, and he really had to listen to this secret.
Zhang Jian immediately acted like he was all ears.
"Xueshi Zhang must have also heard that my Majesty the Great Ancestor of the Great Qian Dynasty was a hero of his generation. He led many people to sweep across Liuhe, winning many battles and six battles, and finally defeated Emperor Ai of Shu's 300,000 elite soldiers, defeating him in one fell swoop. Qianshu’s last resistance!”
"But everyone doesn't know that the defeat of former Shu was not due to Emperor Ai's ignorance!"
Taoist Jingming's eyes were filled with waves at this time.
Zhang Jian's eyes moved slightly.
Facing Zhang Jian's speculative eyes, Taoist Jingming said: "The defeat of the Shu Kingdom was due to greed. If it were not for the greed of the monarchs of the Shu Kingdom, who intended to unify the mountains and rivers and achieve the great cause of the ancient sage kings, the Shu Kingdom might not have perished!
For this reason, they have refined an ancient evil object in the dragon vein. If it is made into this object, it will indeed be able to restore the mountains and rivers and achieve the great cause of the Holy King! "
Hearing this, Zhang Jian's eyes fluctuated.
"Could it be..."
Zhang Jian felt a sense of absurdity in his heart.
Seeing Zhang Jian's expression, Taoist Jingming took a deep breath and sighed softly.
"Xueshi Zhang's guess is correct. After the defeat of the Shu Kingdom, the rare object fell into the hands of His Majesty the Great Ancestor of the Great Qian Dynasty and was not destroyed. His Majesty the Great Ancestor was wise and martial in his youth, and he was also decisive in his middle age. But in his later years, After all, he thought about it, and he left a will, asking my master and several other seniors to assist Daqian to complete these achievements and not to leave any regrets to the future generations!"
"So, it was that evil thing that caused the dragon's veins to age prematurely, causing natural and man-made disasters to continue?"
Zhang Jian looked calm.
This is the dragon slayer finally becoming a dragon!
Taoist Jingming nodded silently.
Zhang Jian's eyes fluctuated and he sighed softly.
"If a general achieves the goal of killing thousands of people, if he allows the Holy King to come to the throne at the cost of stealing human nature, it is not the right way. This method will definitely have a huge backlash, and the Qian Dynasty will be in danger!"
This is not Zhang Jian's excuse.
The ancient saint kings who came to this world did not rely on their huge human merits and were recognized by countless people and even immortal cultivators.
They are not only emperors, but also saints.
Can you become an ancient holy king by relying on a magic weapon to dominate?
Zhang Jian has doubts in his heart?
This is not the way to be holy.
More like a heresy.
Zhang Jian's eyes fluctuated and he asked. "Then does the Imperial Master know what this treasure is?"
There was a trace of speculation in his eyes. He had just made a slight contact with the deep part of the dragon vein that day, and he noticed that this thing was extremely ferocious, even more terrifying than the Demon-Slaying Demon-Slaying Immortal Sword of the Demon-Slaying Lord.
I'm afraid the background is shocking.
Taoist Jingming shook his head and said. "Pin Dao is not very clear about what is refined in the dragon veins. Only Master and a few seniors know the basics..."
Zhang Jian glanced at it. He didn't know whether Taoist Jingming's words were true or false. Zhang Jian asked again.
"So this thing has been refined?"
Taoist Jingming didn't have any doubts, he said in a deep voice.
"This is exactly the original intention of the poor man who came to look for Mr. Zhang. Now the dragon vein is close to being formed, but now the evil spirit is leaking out. This evil spirit has filled the imperial city. If it goes on for a long time, it may cause a natural disaster!"
After a slight pause, he said again.
"It will also lead to a civil commotion!"
Zhang Jian glanced at Taoist Jingming and asked him to continue.
Taoist Jingming said again: "For the current plan, the only way to solve this disaster is to refine the treasure as soon as possible. However, this treasure still lacks the last main ingredient. Only by turning the anger into peace can the treasure be achieved!"
He said with a solemn expression: "We have discovered the location of this treasure, but the main material is located in a strange ruins, filled with countless evil spirits. We want to use Mr. Zhang's power to complete the final result!"
Hearing this, Zhang Jian's eyes fluctuated and he asked: "I wonder where this ruin is? How dangerous is it?"
Taoist Jingming felt happy when he saw that Zhang Jian did not seem to resist this matter. At least Zhang Jian's current attitude was not a direct rejection.
He smiled and said: "This is a special ruins located in the Void Realm. The level of danger is not high. This ruins has been explored by our Cave God Observation for some time, but there are several restrictions inside that are filled with the remnants of gods and demons. The soul is also cursed by the devil, but Mr. Zhang needs to take action!"
At this time, he took out a jade slip from his hand and handed it to Zhang Jianda.
"This is the floor plan of the ruins. After Mr. Zhang reads it, he can destroy it directly!"
Zhang Jian took it casually, glanced at it with his vast Yangshen consciousness, and his eyes suddenly fluctuated slightly.
"I see!"
He crushed the jade slip directly in his hand, thought for a while, and then said.
"Since you are invited by the Imperial Master, I will seriously consider it!"
Zhang Jian did not agree immediately.
Taoist Jingming was not surprised when he saw this, and just said: "If Mr. Zhang is willing to go, he can also put forward conditions. If Dongshen Temple can do it, Pindao will definitely agree!"
After saying that, he slightly cupped his hands and slowly left Zhang Mansion with his disciples.
Looking at the leaving figure of Taoist Jingming, a strange thought flashed through Zhang Jian's mind.
Judging from the attitude of Taoist Jingming, he may be able to use Taoist Jingming as a springboard in the future to directly pull Dongshen Temple over.
Maybe this time we can test the attitude of one or two Taoist Jingming!
