Why is it so difficult to accomplish something? There is obviously no hidden dragon near Bei'an to take away his destiny.
Originally, Sun Yucheng and Bu Yuanzi had doubted Zhou Bai, thinking that such a talented person might be a dragon hidden in the abyss, otherwise it would be difficult to explain.
Sun Yucheng even followed Bu Yuanzi's suggestion and tried to cut off Hu Zhoubai's opportunities on the way to the Spring Wei Examination, making it difficult for him to obtain a higher position.
This suspicion remained until Zhou Bai won first place in the second division and returned to his hometown.
But immediately after Bu Yuanzi made a detailed inspection within a radius of dozens of miles in the Zhou family's ancestral tomb, he determined that there was no sign of a dragon.
Bu Yuanzi made this conclusion very decisively, not only because of his current second level cultivation, but also because of his inheritance.
Although their lineage is a loose cultivator in Bei'an, it is easy to count, and the inheritance of Fulong has been passed down from generation to generation. When Bei'an County was established, they searched for dragon energy here.
It was only when Master Bu Yuanzi's generation reached Master Bu Yuanzi's generation that he discovered that there was dragon energy hidden in Bei'an, and it should be in the Sun family.
It has been more than a hundred years since Bei'an County was established, and no second dragon energy has been heard of, because this is consistent with common sense.
In such a short period of time, only a hidden dragon like Sun Yucheng, who was born with insufficient dragon energy, could be born.
Later, blood rained down, the era of great changes began, and the top leaders of the Zhao family in Pingcang County were wiped out. On the surface, there was no evidence, but in fact, Zhou Bai's transformation from mortal cultivation could no longer be hidden.
This proves that Zhou Bai's identity is not Qianlong. From ancient times to the present, there have been Qianlongs who have practiced martial arts and even attempted cultivation, but it has never been heard of Qianlongs actually transforming into mortals.
It's okay to just enter the Tao, but the lifespan is still a hundred years, and he is still a mortal.
But once you reach the second level and become mortal, your body's organs, meridians, and qi and blood will be fully baptized by the power of spiritual energy.
All functions will completely surpass the mortal body, and the lifespan will be increased to one hundred and fifty years. This is the transformation of the mortal body.
Dragon energy and extraordinary power are definitely incompatible. This is "common sense".
With this point of view, even if Zhou Bai was awarded the title of General Subduing Demons and stationed in Pingcang County to open a mansion, Sun Yucheng would not have any worries.
Since Qianlong is not here to seize the opportunity, there is no need to be afraid. As long as you have the foundation to rely on, you will definitely be able to defeat him in subsequent confrontations.
Besides, you are a demon-suppressing general in heaven, is it possible that you will really compete with him for territory in the future?
Therefore, Sun Yucheng waited until the warships were plundering and the county soldiers came out, and then he suddenly raised his troops to take action.
But the difficulty of this uprising was beyond imagination. Even if the pressure was used to stimulate the dragon's energy to flourish, it would only be enough to capture three-quarters of the county.
This made Sun Yucheng couldn't help but wonder, could it be that apart from Zhou Bai, there were other hidden dragons who were responsible for the destiny of Bei'an and even Dingdong?
If you look at Bei'an County from above at this time, you will see a very strange scene. There are seven counties in one county, and only five counties are still under the direct jurisdiction of Daxu, with complete coverage of the dynasty's legal network.
Yangyuan County was completely beaten, blood flowed into rivers, the county seat was captured by warships, and the people's morale was dispersed.
Pingcang County is self-contained, and only a little bit of Daxu's laws are left. As long as the general's legal system evolves into Danhong, it means that the imperial court will completely lose this place.
In the county town, there were sounds of fighting day and night. A small snake gradually grew in size, but was locked seven inches by Nancheng and could not take off quickly.
The wind was strong and the waves were strong, and the huge killing force rushed back from afar. It seemed like a snake-beating stick, trying to kill the little snake directly from Nancheng.
The five counties of Daxu, which are temporarily peaceful and without war, are just spectators sitting on the fence, watching from a distance.
Whichever side wins, they will fall to that side.
The top-secret information reported by the forward sentinels was passed on to the retainers and generals one by one. Everyone who saw it was silent and did not dare to say anything.
The main force of 15,000 county soldiers on the front line was brought back by the county lieutenants to 10,000 people. In addition, the whereabouts of the Taoist priests group is still unknown.
Lou Jinpeng licked his mouth, showing a hint of pain, and stood back silently.
Seeing this, Sun Yucheng added fuel to everyone's hearts: "Everyone, if we get the county city, we can still ask the state government to recruit people from the imperial court in the name of bringing peace to the people. But if the county soldiers return, If all the counties are in trouble, then we are truly rebels, everything will be over, and our descendants will never be able to stand up again."
These words seemed to ignite the inner fear of everyone in the hall, and they knew exactly what they were doing.
"Strong attack! Commander, we must capture Nancheng before tomorrow!"
"Commander, if you promise to take care of your wife, children, and children, then I will be the first to ascend..."
Sun Yucheng drew his sword out of its scabbard, and the Hidden Dragon Qi above his head surged high, and he said sternly: "Send the order, reward the whole army! Tonight, the pro-army camp will be the vanguard. All the armies will follow and must capture Nancheng overnight!"
When the news came out, all the ministries belonging to the Fumin Army gathered towards Nancheng, and for a while, the city was filled with murderous intent.
At this time, outside the city, Bu Yuanzi and Lin Ren, who was now in an awkward position in the Fumin Army, were looking for something in a low mountain forest.
Lin Ren was out of breath, with a lot of weeds on his hair and clothes. He asked in confusion: "Bu Chongzong, can you help my lord in this wilderness?"
"Is it possible that you can help in the city, whether you can fight in the battle, or you can go to the Qi family to ask for surrender." Bu Yuanzi was not used to Lin Ren, and said venomously.
Lin Ren was speechless. To be honest, he originally felt that he was appreciated by Sun Yucheng and could show off his talents and turn around in one fell swoop.
But who would have thought that when he first entered the Sun Mansion as an ordinary guest, he would be ostracized by everyone because of his many bad deeds.
He was also helpless. He didn't know which sufferer was responsible for publicizing it on his behalf, making Lin Ren's "name" known throughout the city.
It didn't take long for many celebrities to know that Sun Yucheng had recruited such a disciple, and they avoided him, not wanting to tarnish their reputation.
As a result, Sun Yucheng later recruited ten disciples, eight of whom were so-called "countryside talents". They thought that Sun Yucheng was a boss who was hungry for talent, so they came to join him.
It is not that these people cannot be used, but most of them only have the talents of officials, far from the talents Wang Zuo really wants.
Over time, even if Lin Ren was the "humerus" auxiliary minister appointed by Bu Yuanzi, he could only be hidden and did not dare to use him in front of others.
Otherwise, the hidden dragon cannot gather people to store its energy, so how can it flourish?
After being stabbed by Bu Yuanzi, and thinking about his experiences in the past two years, Lin Ren was full of bitterness: "When I was in the market, I did do a lot of dirty things, I agree. But there are still many rumors of evil things, I really haven’t done it, but someone is actually adding fuel to the flames to ruin my reputation.”
Bu Yuanzi took the ancestral compass in his hand, took a few steps left and right to find the direction, and then looked at Lin Ren, who was aggrieved.
"Okay, whoever wants to punish you won't have offended too many people."
"But you don't have to worry about not being able to be used by the Lord. The Lord has adopted half of the military and civil affairs policies you proposed. How can he not know whether you are talented or not?"
"The key to being a minister is whether you can be trusted. The fact that you can follow me to do such a big thing shows your trust."
Although Bu Yuanzi was a monk, he had been rooted in the world of mortals for a long time. He was naturally sophisticated and could relieve Lin Ren's boredom with just a few words.
Lin Ren felt a little relieved when he saw that Dangtang was in the second realm and was willing to talk to him about this.
He bowed his hands to Bu Yuanzi and said sternly: "This is all the result of the enshrinement. If it weren't for your strong recommendation, I might not even have a chance to speak in the government hall."
"However, what is the big thing you are talking about? The current situation is not very good."
"If it doesn't work this time, I'm going to advise the lord to go north. The situation in Cangbei County is chaotic, and there may be an opportunity to seize chestnuts from the fire."
Bu Yuanzi did not answer immediately after hearing this, but looked at the compass pointer and accelerated his pace. After a long time, they came to the back of the mountain range.
"Look at this mountain, what can you see?" Bu Yuanzi asked, pointing in the direction of the extension of the mountain range.
Lin Ren stared at the distance and said with some confusion: "Forgive me for speaking frankly, this mountain is ordinary and nothing special can be seen."
"It's just an ordinary nameless mountain. You can't see it. How can ordinary people find your lord's little dragon vein?"
"Now that you look at it, what do you think?" Bu Yuanzi reached out and flicked Lin Ren's eyes, pointing nonchalantly at the low hills in the distance.
"This, this...!" Lin Ren was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
In his eyes, all the shortcomings of this nameless mountain range have turned into advantages. The mist is steaming, and some purple meaning is hidden in the mountain.
The low places are hidden, and the protruding hills are ups and downs...
It can be big or small, it can bend or stretch, it can hide or appear, it can fly or it can dive.
The power of the dragon is to be demonic and lively.
Heavy ups and downs, mysterious twists and turns, erratic movements from east to west, fish leaping and kites flying, are the birth of a dragon, and its burial is auspicious.
How can we say that this is not a characteristic of dragon snakes, dragons, and pythons? It's just that if you don't look at it with the perspective of looking for dragons in Feng Shui, such low small dragon veins are naturally difficult to find.
"My lord's ancestors are buried in the dragon's cave here, so he will be blessed with great fortune in this life?" After the spell was over, the truth about the dragon veins in Lin Ren's eyes gradually calmed down, so he asked Bu Yuanzi for advice.
After he entered the Sun Mansion, none of his colleagues liked him, so he could only hug Bu Yuanzi's thigh, and he also gained some understanding of the theory of Feng Shui and Dragon Cave.
Bu Yuanzi threw the compass high and let it circle and search with its faint light.
He explained: "I asked you to join us in admonishing the young master. The reason for starting an uprising in this ever-changing crisis is to use pressure to stimulate the dragon's veins to develop more Qianlong fortune. But I don't know what the fate of the destiny is, and the luck is still insufficient. , resulting in the failure to establish the foundation of the county seat so far."
"Tonight's battle is a matter of life and death. Even if the roots are damaged, we must stimulate the dragon's lair with blood and inspire the hidden dragon's great luck!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the compass fell in one direction, and Bu Yuanzi quickly rushed over with Lin Ren in hand.
I saw the compass flying lower and lower, and after a while, it stopped on the mountainside lined with green trees. As expected, there was an old tomb with a concave interior.
There are no weeds around, except for rare grasses and trees, which are growing in clusters and growing gratifyingly.
After running up and down for so long, Lin Ren also understood that this is where the energy veins of the mountain are connected, which is where the dragon's lair is.
"I don't know which generation of ancestors of the Sun family are hiding in isolation, only to gain great luck for future generations. Even Mr. Sun himself doesn't know that the dragon root is here." Bu Yuanzi said with emotion.
Lin Ren didn't care about the strangeness here, but asked very carefully: "Bu Zongsong, I still want to ask, how can the little guy here help?"
Hidden dragons, dragon lairs, and dragon veins are magical Feng Shui methods. What can he do as a mortal? He must be offering sacrifices.
Lin Ren's talent is not in vain. He likes to read books most and knows all kinds of miscellaneous stories.
The more he thought about it, the paler his face became, and he always felt that he was not going to die soon.
Seeing this, Bu Yuanzi laughed loudly and said, "Don't worry, it won't kill you, but you won't be willing to take some blood and essence as a guide and lose a few years of life, right?"
"Everywhere, it is for the Lord's great cause, and I am willing to sacrifice myself."
Hearing this, Lin Ren breathed a sigh of relief. He thought very broadly, as long as his life was still there, a few years of life would be nothing.
"The true dragon is born, and the destiny auxiliary star is to the left."
"The same goes for Qianlong, who is a real dragon reserve. You and Lou Jinpeng are Mr. Sun's auxiliary stars. Seeing that the two strange stones on the mountain walls on both sides of the dragon's cave have disappeared, you two responded with both civil and military skills." Bu Yuanzi He naturally put his hands on Lin Ren's shoulders and pointed to both sides.
Lin Ren looked along the direction, and sure enough, there were two human-shaped pillars, one tall and tall, the other elegant and restrained.
Why do you feel that as a real person, you can't compare to a stone man who has the temperament of a civil servant?
Before Lin Ren could pay more attention, Bu Yuanzi's hand on his shoulder exerted a little force, and his whole body suddenly went limp.
He could only lie on the ground, silently watching the enshrined master "display his power" and wake up the dragon's lair, which made him dizzy.
Folk Feng Shui masters still have the means to find dragons to share gold, not to mention a second-level true practitioner like Bu Yuanzi who has inherited from Master Fulong.
After a while, a crack appeared in the dragon's cave, and along with the unwilling roar of the mountain dragon, wisps of purple energy poured out, and then it rushed towards the county town.
"Don't blame me for interrupting Yunyang, it is actually what Qianlong needs, and these are not enough." Bu Yuanzi murmured.
Seeing how little purple energy the dragon's cave exhaled, he immediately took out a small bottle of Sun Yucheng's blood and a bunch of black hair from his arms, then dyed the hair with blood and threw it into the crack.
The effect of this method was immediate, and the originally small amount of purple energy suddenly increased, gurgling out, and soon turned into a small purple energy dragon and flew away.
Looking at the direction in which he left, it seemed that he was looking for Sun Yucheng. At this point, Qianlong's great calculation was completely stimulated.
However, Bu Yuanzi was not very happy. Instead, he sighed: "The potential of such a small dragon vein with insufficient foundation is only limited to the young dragon formed by the foundation of Banzhou."
And as if after hearing Bu Yuanzi's conclusion, the entire mountain range suddenly shook, and what came out of the dragon's cave was no longer purple energy, but black evil spirits.
A group of frightened birds flew over the sky and happened to encounter the black evil spirit. They all died suddenly. At the same time, the precious vegetation around the dragon's lair gradually withered.
Where the black evil is permeating, life is cut off. If left alone, the little dragon vein may be useless.
Bu Yuanzi seemed to have anticipated this sudden change, so he pulled Lin Ren and touched his heart, causing the blood from his heart to drip into the wider and wider cracks in the dragon's cave.
Use the Qianlong Auxiliary Star as a sacrifice to suppress it!
Lin Ren didn't know if his blood would run out. After being weak and falling asleep for a long time, it was already midnight and he was lying on the bed in the county mansion.
Just as he was about to force himself to go outside to see what was going on, the noise of joy was already heard everywhere.
"Qi Hua escaped, we won!
"
"General Lou has now invaded Nancheng!"
Sun Yucheng's three-foot yellow snake had grown to nine feet long after taking over the county town.
It hovers among the chaotic clouds of fortune above the county town. Sometimes it stands proudly and stares at the seven surrounding counties with its fangs exposed.
At the same time, Zhou Bai had already arrived at the Yangyuan Demon-Suppressing Army camp. He not only explained the army's battle tomorrow, but also discussed in advance with a group of civil servants accompanying the army how to take over Yangyuan County after the war.
As he was arranging tasks, he seemed to sense something and turned his head to look in the direction of the county. The dragon carp above his head lazily came out and spat out a bubble of disdain at the nine-foot yellow snake.
Different from before, the lucky dragon carp at this time really didn't care about the small snake, because from a distance, its size actually far exceeded the yellow snake in the county.
Nine feet? It's 1.5 feet long, and it's still expanding.
So what if a fish swallows a snake?
