Ten Capitals, Nine Observations, Eight Poles, Seven Yuans, Six Divisions, Five Elders Compete for Da

Jiang Chen understood in his heart.

The process of collecting spiritual materials and medicines is a kind of experience, a valuable growth.

If it is a relatively simple early stage, relying purely on money to buy elixir, mainly relying on others to solve ritual problems,

"If you rely on the mountain to fall, you rely on everyone to fall!"

What should we do when others are unable to help and the value of spiritual materials cannot be measured by money?
therefore.

The moment Jiang Chen noticed Zhang Baisui's disappearance, he had the idea of ​​finding the dragon vein land attribute spirit stone by himself.

Fortunately.

He also "relyed on his own efforts" and found the geomantic treasure land that should have become the dragon vein of Loulan, that is, the dragon cave in front of him, a strange stone cave nourished by the essence of the sun and the moon.

Zhang Baisui pointed to the center of the stone cave here, stroked his white beard and said with a smile:
"Go get it."

"However, you have to be careful of the impact and backlash of the dragon energy inside."

"It will break into your sea of ​​consciousness in a short time and attack your spiritual will. This is a struggle of pure spiritual will. Qi and blood are meaningless. If you survive, you can truly get the approval of the earth spirit stone and its power." everything."

The corners of Zhang Baisui's mouth rose slightly:
"Of course, if your mind is not firm enough, you may be taken away by the dragon energy instead~"

Hear this.

Jiang Chen was slightly surprised:

"Backlash? Seize the house?"

"How to say?"

Zhang Baisui explained:
"The reason why the "Little Desolation Scripture" recommends the earth-attributed spirit stones of abandoned dragon veins is because the dragon energy is weak and the backlash is relatively small."

"As for the Sun Moon Dragon's Cave right now, it has flourished hundreds of years ago, and the dragon energy is more than ten times that of today's. It should have become the first pot of gold for Loulan's founding of the country, and then it will be nourished by the Loulan's national fortune for a long time."

Jiang Chen understood.

Isn't this "angel round investment"?

Longxue is equivalent to an angel investor, giving certain financial support to the entrepreneur - the first Loulan King - Yan Leisheng, and when the listing is successful, he can enjoy rich returns.

Zhang Baisui continued to narrate:

"But it happens!"

"For some reason, the first king of Loulan did not bury his grandfather's body in the cave here, but managed to hunt and kill His Excellency Peacock, the divine bird of the Western Regions, as well as the ghost with the head of a bull. With the power of the gods and ghosts, the foundation of Loulan was established. "

"This stone cave has not been nourished by human luck for a long time, and it has gradually declined with the movement of the earth's Qi."

"Although it is far weaker than normal national dragon veins, it has never been abandoned. Its strength is at least several times that of ordinary abandoned dragon veins. You have to be careful."

Jiang Chen nodded, understanding very well.

In a relatively straightforward way,

That is:
Entrepreneur Yan Leisheng rejected the angel round investment from the Sun Moon Dragon Cave Foundation, and then, together with the robber Niu Shou Guishen, in the name of poverty alleviation (pray for rain), tricked the kind-hearted rich girl Mingzhu Peacock into a slum, and then ...

afterwards.

The two successfully grabbed a large amount of venture capital.

Not only that.

Yan Leisheng also chose to eat black and eat black, and killed the bandit accomplice Niu Shou ghosts and gods, and then went ashore with whitewashing, established Loulan Construction Group, and served as the first chairman of the board. It has been prosperous for hundreds of years.

The original Sun Moon Dragon's Nest Foundation also gradually declined due to missing excellent investment opportunities and changes in market trends.

And my goal,

It is to seize the investment license of the Sun Moon Dragon's Nest Foundation.

If the foundation had already closed down, it would be much less difficult to snatch the investment license.

But now.

It's just decay and aging, it's not dead...

The corners of Jiang Chen's mouth raised slightly, he raised his eyes to look at the Sun Moon Dragon Cave, and said with a low smile:
"What about the backlash of dragon energy?"

"Although I am not a fish seller, I have heard a word."

"Called..."

"The greater the wind and waves, the more expensive the fish!"

talking.

Stepping forward, with only one breath, he walked to the Sun Moon Dragon Cave.

At this moment, Jiang Chen's eyes seemed to be concentrating on the will of the vast world. With just one glance, he found the purest diamond-shaped gravel from among the hundreds of gravel in the cave.

It has an unremarkable appearance, but inside it contains an extremely terrifying earth dragon aura, which is also the core of the entire Beijiao Mountain Dragon Vein!

This is the legendary monarch medicine: the core of the dragon vein, the spiritual stone containing the breath of the earth.

If this earth attribute spirit stone is taken away, then the North Jiao Mountain Dragon Vein here will completely decline and truly degenerate into an ordinary mountain range.

And as Jiang Chen approached, Sun Moon Dragon's Acupoint also instinctively sensed the abnormality, and traces of invisible aura condensed in midair, trying to resist.

"pity……"

"Resistance is useless!"

"Jie jie jie jie!"

Jiang Chen grinned grimly, trying to make his mental state appear more ferocious, then he reached out decisively and quickly picked up the spirit stone from the cave.

But the moment he held the spirit stone, he also noticed an invisible thick barrier separating himself from the breath of the earth inside the stone.

Before Jiang Chen could think carefully, he felt a slight tingling between his brows, as if he sensed the danger coming!
boom!
The big Beijiao Mountain trembled slightly, and a shocking air wave suddenly rolled up, sweeping seemingly endless dust and smoke, rolling straight into the sky.

Birds in the mountains flew in fright, and all the beasts on the surface fled.

next moment!
In the originally bright morning sky, at some point, there was a trace of black color invading the sky. Jiang Chen looked up, but saw dark clouds billowing, and the sky was pitch black.

"It is going to rain?"

Jiang Chen looked up at the sky, feeling the gradually humid air around him, but he never waited for the dragon's energy to backlash into the sea of ​​consciousness, and looked at Zhang Baisui in doubt.

"Don't worry, let the wind and rain fly for a while!"

Zhang Baisui shook his already damp cotton robe, walked leisurely under a pine tree to hide from the rain, then squinted his eyes and stared at the sky:
"There are still ten breaths, get ready."

"it is good!"

Jiang Chen took a deep breath, pulled himself together, and silently waited for the dragon's energy to come back.

After counting interest.

Black clouds cover the sun, and the rain is fierce. Hundreds of silver snakes swim in the vast and dark sky. The fine raindrops shatter the clouds, and sneak into the world from top to bottom with the wind.

Rainwater quickly flowed into the Sun Moon Dragon Cave, gradually filling it up.

Those air waves and smoke dust also poured down with the heavy rain, mixed with water vapor, and splashed muddy ground.

It is also at this time.

One after another thunderbolts blasted to the ground, but the target was not Jiang Chen, but the Sun Moon Dragon's Cave, and the sand was billowed and the gravel shook in an instant.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Baisui turned his head and reminded urgently:
"coming!"

Lighthouse.

Jiang Chen concentrated and calmed down, trying to use the fullest posture to fight against the backlash of the dragon's energy.

then.

With just one breath, the Sun Moon Dragon Cave suddenly collapsed, and all the remaining dragon energy was swept away by the thunder.

The dragon energy that had nowhere to go quickly condensed in mid-air, turning into an illusory image of a three-headed dragon, as big as a building.

Then, the phantom of the green flood dragon found the trail of the little thief Jiang Chen at a glance, and the dragon eyes were ablaze with anger, and rushed towards him with a bang, and quickly penetrated into the depths of Jiang Chen's eyebrows.

…………

Jiang Chen closed and opened his eyes.

In a blink of an eye.

For the first time, my own soul body entered this gray sea of ​​consciousness in a state other than "a man of ingenuity, burst of inspiration".

The five stars on the top, three golden and two red, are still continuously providing light to the dark sea of ​​consciousness.

And from the depths of the gray mist, a three-headed dragon as big as a building also sprang out quickly, with fierce eyes!
"A man of ingenuity, in this case, is it useful?"

With a thought in Jiang Chen's mind, one of the dazzling crimson stars above the sea of ​​consciousness suddenly burst into intense light, which was extremely dazzling!
The red light enveloped one person and three dragons at the same time.

in an instant.

Jiang Chen then clearly realized the usefulness of [Scholar of Ingenuity and Thinking].

He can imagine freely in the sea of ​​consciousness, and quickly create any powerful weapon he has ever seen.

and.

No matter how long the fight takes, to the real world, it is just an instant.

It is basically similar to the previous state of "inspiration bursts, one thought lasts forever".

If Zhang Baisui saw such advantages, he would definitely call him cheating.

When he snatched the earth spirit stone of the discarded dragon vein, he could only imagine and create some ordinary weapons, which were neither sharp nor tough. He fought with the phantom formed by the backlashing dragon energy and killed a full three An hour later, he barely won the victory.

"Roar!"

"Roar! Roar!"

There were three terrifying roars in succession, undoubtedly the three phantoms of the green flood dragon, trying to be the first to scare the enemy with their ferocious roars.

"madness!"

"If you really have the strength to take me away, you should pounce on me immediately!"

Jiang Chen spoke coldly with a tyrannical expression, and his mind shook accordingly. He immediately created a new precious bow-the red soul bow, bursts of tyrannical emotions burst out in his heart, and turned into sharp arrows.

Holding a bow and nocking an arrow.

Then, shoot out the chain!
Arrows with violent emotions, with the terrifying power of breaking the air barrier beyond the speed of sound, quickly shot towards the three green dragons!

one arrow,
another arrow,
Amidst bursts of ear-piercing arrows piercing the air, the extremely sharp arrow pierced into the dragon's flesh and blood with a piercing fierce edge, reaching its tail feathers.

Almost every time an arrow is inserted, there will be a scream, and blood will splash.

The phantom of the three green flood dragons was also mad with anger, no matter how they dodged, it was difficult to resist the arrows that flew like ghosts.

Shoot the willow through the willow, hit every shot!
With Jiang Chen's current superb shooting skills, such a huge target like the three green flood dragons can be easily hit even with his eyes closed.

Even mobile shooting, there is no problem.

So, Jiang Chen and the three green dragon phantoms played kite-flying in this vast sea of ​​consciousness.

however.

At the moment when the phantoms of the three green flood dragons were covered with hundreds of wounds, their huge dragon eyes revealed a gleam of a successful plan.

"Roar!"

The three green dragon phantoms roared, endured hundreds of breaths of pain, and finally erupted at this moment, all negative emotions were concentrated in its six dragon eyes.

"what?"

Jiang Chen was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly realized.

The eyes are the windows of the soul, and the spiritual blows emitted by the three green dragons through the eyes may be the right way to fight spiritually.

It deliberately endured the pain, just waiting for this final moment of anti-killing!

Six streaks of blood-gray fierce light quickly shot out from the eyes of the three green flood dragons, almost killing them instantly!
"Unfortunately……"

"Compared to eyes, you are still far behind!"

The corners of Jiang Chen's mouth rose slightly, and then his eyes moved slightly, revealing the vast will of the world contained in them.

The next moment!
Six streaks of blood ash, painful and fierce lights, like six blood-stained scythe chariots, slammed into Jiang Chen's sky eyes.

then.

Gone……

There was not even a trace of ripples, and the three killing moves that Qingjiao had painstakingly prepared disappeared in an instant.

"Sky Eye, it is really powerful, even if it is still not awakened, it can have such power, if it is awakened..."

"That's okay?"

Seeing the power of his own sky eyes, Jiang Chen became more and more happy, and smiled at the three green dragons, waved his hand, and signaled to continue.

See this situation.

The three green dragon phantoms roared with anger, but in the end they were incompetent and furious.

Soon.

It took Jiang Chen a full hour or so to shoot arrows with a bow, and finally grinded the three phantoms of green flood dragons to death.

then.

The soul and body leave the sea of ​​consciousness and return to reality.

…………

The sun and moon dragon lair in decline.

Under the pine tree, Zhang Baisui looked at Jiang Chen who closed his eyes tightly, and said with a little pride:

"It took the old man three hours to kill that Ruin Dragon Lord. I don't know how long it will take Jiang Chen?"

The voice just fell.

Jiang Chen slowly opened his eyes, looked at Zhang Baisui who was hiding from the rain under the tree from a distance, and said with a smile: "Old village chief, fortunately he did not disgrace his life, and he has successfully subdued the dragon's energy."

talking.

Raising the arm, the spirit stone of the dragon vein exudes the breath of the earth, and the invisible thick barrier has disappeared.

This also means that the emperor, ministers and assistant envoys have collected all the four flavors of elixir and spiritual materials.

The one thousand countryless and wilderness people needed to hold the "ceremony: garrisoning the fields" have also made preparations under the Dragon Falling Cliff. More than a thousand villagers, including Li Tianlao and Li Zha, are urgently learning "do not violate the farming season" , the valley cannot be eaten well; the fish and turtles cannot be eaten well if the trees do not enter the bay pond; the ax enters the mountains and forests in time, and the wood cannot be used well..." The concept.

All the conditions for promotion to Captain Wilderness have been met.

"what?"

"How long has it been?"

Zhang Baisui was stunned, with an expression of disbelief.

And this time.

With the disappearance of the backlashing dragon energy, Beijiao Mountain, especially Tianjiaer Mountain, has obviously not changed in any way, but it seems to have lost that trace of remote and profound connotation.

The rain became heavier and heavier, as if mourning the demise of the Dragon Qi.

"This rain is born in the sky and dies in the earth. The process in between is life..." Jiang Chen stared at the torrential rain and suddenly recalled this famous saying.

…………

"It's raining?"

In the capital of Loulan, in the royal palace, Yan Zhen'e, the contemporary king of Loulan, was obviously sitting on the throne and was supported by all the people, but at this moment his face was sad. He only glanced at the rain scene outside the palace, then lost interest, and said coldly:

"General Zuo, what is the current situation of defending the city?"

The man called "General Zuo" was very strong, nine feet tall, with a round belly and thick limbs. He was a typical general with a big belly.

He said in a low voice:

"Report to the king."

"With the help of five wolf generals, plus the two quasi-sacred weapons left by our ancestors, we can barely hold on for a few days, but..."

"but what!"

Yan Zhen pretended not to be angry, and the moment he opened his mouth, the air around him almost froze.

General Zuo sighed and said:

"The struggle of the Five Hu tribes in the grassland for the new Xiongnu has entered the most intense moment, and they are unable to support Loulan."

"Furthermore, with the destruction of the four cities in the east, west, north, south, and Loulan, the national fortune of Loulan is far from enough to trigger the ghost gate ceremony. All Luo Sect believers have fled yesterday."

"us……"

"Right now, Loulan is an isolated city..."

Hearing this, Yan Zhen'e had a powerless look in his eyes, he was holding the armrest of the throne, his veins were throbbing violently, but he remained silent and did not say a word.

But at this time.

The right fortune teller at the side gave a sinister smile:
"Your Majesty, our Loulan actually still has a chance!"

Heard this.

Yan Zhen'e's eyes suddenly showed joy, and he immediately grabbed the right divination master's arm, and said excitedly: "Could it be possible that ghosts and gods can make a move without national luck and sacrifices?"

The right fortune teller smiled mischievously:
"It's not."

Yan Zhen'e's eyes turned cold:
"Then what else do you have to say?"

The right divination master took out an old tortoise shell, and said with an inscrutable expression:

"According to the ghosts and gods of Netherland, Loulan's last chance of survival does not lie in the isolated city of the capital, but in..."

"Don't be fooled, tell me!" Yan Zhen'e was furious, his voice was like thunder, and immediately frightened the right divination master to tell the truth:

"At Yumen Pass!"

"It's not just Loulan, the ray of life for the 36 countries in the Western Regions lies at Yumen Pass!"

Yan Zhen'e was stunned.

Isn't Yumen Pass the boundary of Liangzhou?

what happened?

…………

Liangzhou border.

Yumen Pass.

During the Han Dynasty, it was not unreasonable to designate this border city as the dividing line between Liangzhou and the Western Regions.

Just because-

There is still some greenery in the pass, which can be used for farming and is suitable for the survival of farming peoples.

After leaving the Yumen Pass, you will see the vast Gobi, gravel, sand sea, strong wind, and a few weeds survive tenaciously.

As the sun rose, a mission group of about a hundred people walked out of Yumen Pass, followed the dwindling oasis belt, went deep into the Gobi, and headed for Loulan.

They carried the latest will of the old emperor.

A letter of guilt.

Translate some high-sounding polite words, that is:
Completely abandon the national policy of conquering the Western Regions, stop the war, change course, and tame 36 countries with diplomatic envoys.

It sounds like the old story of Fu Jiezi and Ban Chao.

But in fact.

The old emperor's illness has become more and more serious, and he can no longer support a long national war that lasted ten years, so that the crown prince can inherit the throne stably.

This war to conquer the Western Regions has not reached its true climax, and it is about to end in a hurry...

A civil envoy sneered and said:
"Those military soldiers have consumed a lot of the country's resources, but in the end, they just provoked one meaningless war after another!"

"What's the point of this stupid Western Region?"

Another envoy also echoed:
"good."

"Signing an alliance with the 36 countries in the Western Regions is enough, why bother to conquer?"

"David's focus should be to deal with those barbarians in the northern grassland. The recent movement is getting bigger and bigger."

Some envoys also said:

"Rats have been infested recently, and the national treasury is short of food and grass. The Qingzhou Army, which is good at vegetation, should be disarmed and returned to the fields to farm..."

Among the angry discussions of many envoys.

They even put forward an extremely rebellious idea - even if it is Loulan, which is about to be conquered, they don't want it, to show the sincerity of the David Wu Dynasty...
