"Um?!"
Gu Dan was very surprised by the endless sentence about "there are immortals in the world".
Even Qing Pingzi stood up suddenly.
Now he can't hear the word "xian".
Waiting and waiting, suffering through the years, until the end of the Grand Master is approaching, there is no glimmer of the return of the immortal, and he even has no choice but to use his bones to complete his transformation.
Perhaps only Qing Pingzi himself knows the suffering in his heart.
Not long after he completed his transformation, he heard someone shouting that there are immortals in the world. If the person who said this was not Wang Mang, Qing Pingzi would definitely slap him.
"Elaborate!"
Gu Dan was quite calm about everything. Although he was a little surprised, he didn't lose his composure.
He had watched Wang Mang grow up and watched him ascend to the throne step by step. They had been with him for a long time. He was not an impatient person.
As the saying goes, if you don't see the rabbit, you won't let go of the eagle.
Since it can make him so excited and impatient, he must have made some discoveries.
"Today, a caravan came from abroad, claiming to be from the Fairy Court to trade with the Xia Dynasty. The leader of the caravan was a grand master! The officials did not dare to neglect, so they informed me that I and the The grandmaster talked for a long time, and he said with certainty that he could show the methods of the immortal to prove what he said.
However, the immortal magic consumes a lot of money and cannot be displayed at will. Every time you arrive in a new country, you can only display it once at most. So if you want to observe the immortal magic, let me call all the people who should see it."
After saying so much in one breath, Wang Mang gasped for air.
He is no longer young, and can even be said to be old, approaching seventy years old.
Even warriors who have mastered Zang training are no longer as strong as before when they reach this age, and their Qi and blood are declining and constantly drying up.
The journey from the palace to the Gu family courtyard was already a bit long for Wang Mang, not to mention the excitement in his heart that made him feel ups and downs.
"The Chamber of Commerce of All Nations?"
This name seemed extremely unfamiliar, I had never heard of it before.
However, just from the name, we can also tell that this is probably a business trip that keeps traveling to various countries - what is really surprising is that the leader of this business trip turns out to be a grand master!
This is quite strange.
What is the fundamental purpose of doing business?
Throwing away all the fanciful details, the fundamental purpose is to make money, make money, and especially make money!
Therefore, there are indeed many warriors accompanying business travelers, whether escorts or bodyguards, to earn money and resources. It is true that they have something to do with it.
But this does not include the Grandmaster!
As the pinnacle of combat power in the world, no matter how miserable he is, he is still superior to others.
Even Xin and Tan, two warriors who relied on external forces to break through to the master level, can still enjoy the treatment of a master, including glory and wealth.
Money is almost useless to them.
What kind of business trip would require a grandmaster to lead it?
Gu Dan's eyes were slightly thoughtful.
"Grandmaster leads the team?"
Qing Pingzi raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Gu Dan.
"Isn't this your colleague?"
Suddenly hearing the news that there was an immortal in the world did not confuse Gu Dan's mind, but made him more cautious.
When it comes to things related to immortality, you can never be too cautious!
"Probably not. Since a grandmaster is here, he will naturally receive him. If you want to use some folk tricks to trick the grandmaster, you just don't want to die."
Qing Pingzi seemed a little hesitant.
After all, he had truly deceived Emperor Zongming for more than twenty years before. With a criminal record, there was no guarantee that rising stars would not follow suit.
But he was able to obtain the Holy Family at that time purely because the relationship between Emperor Zongming and Mr. Ji was not good. Mr. Ji was too lazy to talk to Emperor Zongming, and Emperor Zongming also ignored Mr. Ji.
In addition, Grandmaster Dayue was inactive and Qingpingzi had no constraints. Various reasons came together to make the alchemist seem somewhat invincible.
The Xia Dynasty does not have such 'good' conditions. If a grandmaster comes here and wants to bewitch the king, is he bullying the Xia Dynasty?
"Whether it's true or not, with you here anyway, no matter what tricks he uses, he won't be able to hide it from your eyes. We'll know it at a glance!"
Qing Pingzi made a decision immediately, or said impatiently.
Although he also felt that this incident was a bit unexpected, or that he was completely unprepared, but what if it was true? !
He has had enough of this miserable world and has no interest in it anymore!
"Walk!"
Gu Dan also nodded.
Whether it is true or false, you can tell at a glance!
Xia Dynasty Palace.
The person in charge of the Chamber of Commerce of All Nations, Tao Shushanzheng, the old god, was chatting with the people around him.
"This Xia Dynasty is really not that powerful. We have traveled to so many countries, and Xia Dynasty is definitely the best among them. There is even hope of competing for the top two."
Tao Shushan said in surprise.
"You are right. But the people of the Xia Dynasty were so prosperous, but the palace is a bit dilapidated. There is not much space left, and there are even collapsed palaces that have not been cleaned up."
The servant beside him frowned slightly and said hesitantly: "The emperor of Emperor Xia is not a miser, is he?"
"Ha, you know business well, but you don't look at the overall situation. Before I came to the palace, I heard very interesting news. A new saint was born in the Xia Dynasty. He was going to replace the great achievements of the previous saint. It was really a surprise. Big drama.”
Tao Shushan said with a smile: "If it weren't for lack of time, I would really like to stay here for more time to see what it will develop into."
"It's just a mortal thing. Master, you don't need to take it to heart."
The servant said immediately.
"Hey, you and I are both people from the mortal world. We can't think too highly of ourselves. They just haven't seen the mystery of the immortal way. We can't treat them as nothing."
Tao Shushan said: "To make the country so strong, there must be a large number of talented people, and each one will not be an ordinary person."
"Remember the master's teachings."
The servant bowed his head and answered seriously.
"You are too boring."
Tao Shushan shook his head helplessly, "Traveling around the world, you have to be good at discovering the differences to have more fun. It would be too petty to only focus on business."
The two were chatting casually. Although they were in the Xia Dynasty's palace, they were not at all restrained.
Without waiting too long, Gu Dan and his party arrived here.
"I have met Emperor Xia, who are these two?"
Tao Shushan did not hesitate, he took the lead in saluting, and then looked at Gu Dan and Qing Pingzi.
Looking at Gu Dan, his eyes hesitated for a moment.
Gu Dan looks very young, probably only in his thirties. This appearance looks a bit too young among the masters. Of course, it is not ruled out that some people are naturally tender-faced and do not look old.
Qing Pingzi, on the other hand, seemed to be more in line with the standards of a master at first glance. When he was walking like a dragon or a tiger, he occasionally showed a trace of aura. It is impossible for someone who is very young and in a high position to have such aura.
"Both of these two are grand masters of the Xia Dynasty."
Wang Mang showed a smile on his face and said, "This is Grandmaster Gu, and this is Grandmaster Qingpingzi."
In front of outsiders, he would naturally not expose Gu Dan, the real trump card of the Xia Dynasty, and let the other party treat Gu Dan as an ordinary grandmaster, which would be the best.
"There are still other masters. I have sent people to notify them. It just takes some time, so you can wait for now."
Wang Mang said.
"There is no problem, it is naturally the best."
Tao Shushan nodded, but didn't take it seriously.
"I heard that you came from the Immortal Court? I also have a lot of research on the Immortal Way. Why don't you first tell me how the Immortal Court came from and how it was established?"
Qing Pingzi couldn't wait to ask after seeing Tao Shushan.
"Why don't we wait until everyone is gathered?"
Tao Shushan answered with a smile.
"It doesn't matter. You can tell us now whether it is true or false. We will judge it ourselves. You don't need to tell it a second time."
Gu Dan said.
"Oh well."
Tao Shushan said: "I wonder if anyone in the Xia Dynasty saw the meteor shower forty-eight years ago?"
"Stars falling from the sky at night?"
In an instant, Gu Dan understood what Tao Shushan was talking about.
"That's right."
Tao Shushan nodded repeatedly, "Before I came here, I heard that a spiritual stone fell from the predecessor of this country, which also triggered a war among various countries. Since you have experienced this matter deeply, it will be easier to talk about it."
"The place you came from is where those meteors fell?"
Qing Pingzi asked immediately.
Of course, the night stars fell from the sky in the sect’s thirty-third year is still fresh in people’s memories.
One of them fell in Yuzhou, and the Mohist family became famous, but it also led to the continuous attacks by the four-nation coalition forces. Qing Pingzi also got involved, causing Emperor Zongming to burn books and entrap the art.
Even Wang Mang ran to Yuzhou for various reasons and met the White Lotus Saint.
It can be said that the trajectory of history has changed because of that night star falling from the sky. The three people here have all witnessed it, and even participated in it. It is impossible not to have an impression.
"indeed so."
Tao Shushan did not show any concern and immediately said: "The group of meteorites finally hit Zhoushan Mountain. Zhoushan Mountain collapsed, overturned several countries, and finally turned into a mountain range across the earth, which is now called Buzhou Mountain Range.
Some brave warriors went to investigate the situation, discovered the existence of spiritual energy from the mountains, and finally settled down. As more and more warriors discovered it, they finally united and built a fairy garden on the Buzhou Mountains to recreate the glory of the fairy way! "
Gu Dan and Qing Pingzi looked at each other.
What the other party said generally sounded like there really wasn't any big loopholes to be found.
but
"Spiritual energy will spontaneously and slowly disperse to the outside world. No matter how many spiritual stones were dropped under the stars at night, even if most of them fell in the Buzhou Mountains, forty-eight years later, how many more will there be? Is it worthy of being called a fairyland on earth?”
Qing Pingzi himself had received the spirit stone and understood that the spirit stone was not something that lasted forever.
On the contrary, spiritual energy flows spontaneously and nourishes all things. Whether it is vegetation, trees, rocks, flowers, birds, insects, or fish, spiritual energy is probably not much different from it, and most of the treasures in the world come from this.
To put it bluntly, compared with the spread of spiritual energy and spontaneous circulation, relying on spiritual stones falling from the sky to recreate the grand scene of the immortal path is undoubtedly a foolish dream.
It's like guarding a small puddle destined to be constantly evaporated, imagining that the fish in it can transform into a dragon.
Precisely for this reason, Qing Pingzi would rather stay in Dayong to study the bone than chase the trajectory left by the meteorite and the final landing place.
Simply knowing a rough direction and not knowing the distance is like a fantasy dream, not worth thinking about.
"It seems that you have come into contact with spiritual stones."
Tao Shushan was not surprised or embarrassed at all by Qing Pingzi's words, and said with a smile: "But do you know that we have discovered five sources of spiritual energy in the Buzhou Mountains?"
"Source of spiritual energy?"
Qing Pingzi frowned slightly.
He really didn't know this thing, it was probably a vocabulary coined by the other party himself.
"That's right, there are five sources of spiritual energy in Buzhou Mountains that can produce spiritual energy out of thin air! If you only rely on the spiritual energy brought by meteorites, of course you can't maintain the operation of the fairy court, but if you add five spiritual energy sources, I don't know. Is it possible?"
Tao Shushan said with great confidence.
"You mean spiritual veins and spiritual mines?"
Qing Pingzi deduced.
"No, no, no, we also know the existence of spiritual veins and spiritual minerals from the immortal books. But the source of spiritual energy is different from the spiritual veins and spiritual minerals. It is truly born out of thin air, and there are no accompanying creatures or spiritual stones. , only a steady stream of spiritual energy rushed out!
That’s why we named it the Reiki Source. "
Tao Shushan explained.
Qing Pingzi was speechless for a moment.
What source of spiritual energy?
never heard of that!
But the knowledge of immortality is vast and vast, not only a thousand times better than that of the mortal world?
He would never dare to say that he knew everything about the immortal way, he just knew more than ordinary people.
He had no way to deny Tao Shushan's words, and of course it was impossible to affirm them.
Since the other party is so confident, maybe there really is some source of spiritual energy?
"Since the Immortal Garden on Earth has been established in the Buzhou Mountains, and there are five sources of spiritual energy that are endless, then why did you travel thousands of miles to the Xia Dynasty and tell us such news?"
Gu Dan, who barely spoke, asked directly.
Get to the core!
If what Tao Shushan said is true, then no matter how you look at it, the immortal palace on earth in the Buzhou Mountains is a thousand times better than the ordinary world, and you can directly contact the immortal way!
How could there be a master who couldn't think about it and instead of staying in a place filled with spiritual energy, he was still traveling and doing business in the mortal world?
This just doesn't make sense.
"You don't know something."
Tao Shushan seemed to be very experienced. He had answered the same question so many times that there was nothing that should surprise him.
"Reiki is indeed the first condition for practicing the Immortal Way, but with only Reiki, many mysteries of the Immortal Way are far from enough to be used. If you wait slowly for the Reiki to be nurtured, I am afraid it will take hundreds or even thousands of years to be able to practice the Immortal Way. , how many people can live for such a long time?"
Tao Shushan shrugged slightly and said: "In order to solve this problem, the Chamber of Commerce of All Nations was born. As the saying goes, if a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools.
We travel around the world, trading rare treasures from different countries, hoping that those rare treasures will shine with their own light under the catalysis of spiritual energy, and finally return to that fairy garden. How could you know that doing this would make things slower than practicing all the time? "
