I created Qin Tianjian in modern times

Zhu Qingyang's words made the second team members fall into deep thought. Suddenly, Chen Tian's eyes lit up and he said:
"When you went to these two famous mountains, before you discovered that the dragon veins were in trouble, did you not notice anything unusual, or even feel that the dragon veins were full of energy?"

Pan Zi nodded and asked:

"How did you know?"

The members of Team 2 looked at each other, a hint of surprise flashed in their eyes, and then they said in unison:
"Kongtong Mountain?"

The members of Team One obviously had no idea what Team Two were talking about, and confusion was written all over everyone's face.

After hearing this, Zhao Qi looked at Bai Wenzheng thoughtfully:

"Did you find anything unusual on Kongtong Mountain?"

Bai Wenzheng nodded heavily:

“We didn’t pay much attention to it at first, but after hearing the case statement from Team One, we realized that there seemed to be something fishy about this matter.

When we went to Kongtong Sect to borrow the Seven Treasures Taoist Pagoda, we felt the strong dragon energy on the mountain.

However, we are unable to determine the exact location of the dragon vein..."

At that time, we did not pay much attention to this, thinking that our geomancy skills were not yet perfect enough.

However, now that I think about it carefully, it seems that this matter is much more complicated than we imagined..."

Zhu Qingyang was confused, frowning and asked doubtfully:

"Seven Treasures Daoist Pagoda?

Isn't that the most precious treasure of Kongtong Sect recorded in ancient books? Why do you want to borrow it?"

Ah Jing smiled helplessly and explained:

“We were originally investigating the incident at the Heroes Cemetery, but unexpectedly it involved a sect’s forgotten past from a hundred years ago.

Now the incident in the Heroes Cemetery has come to an end, but we accidentally discovered a remnant soul from a hundred years ago in the secret realm of that sect.

That remnant soul is the great disciple of the Jindan Sect..."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Qingyang widened his eyes in shock:
"What? The chief disciple of the Jindan Sect, could it be Mo Wufeng?"

The members of Team 2 all looked at him in surprise, obviously surprised that Zhu Qingyang was so familiar with the name.

"Master Gou, you actually know him too?"

As the "know-it-all" of the 788 Exploration Team, the team members have long been accustomed to Zhu Qingyang's erudition and versatility.

But at this moment, they were still a little shocked that Zhu Qingyang could blurt out Mo Wufeng's name.

Zhu Qingyang frowned and told the members of Team 2 with a serious look:

“The Jindan Sect is recorded in many ancient books, and I have looked up relevant information out of curiosity.

The Jindan Sect was once glorious. In that era when there were many sects and fierce competition, the Jindan Sect was able to stand firm mainly due to the high overall realm of its practitioners.

Many ancient books mentioned that there was a secret realm hidden in the Jindan Sect, which contained a powerful force. Practicing there could achieve twice the result with half the effort, thus achieving the prosperity of the Jindan Sect.

The best among the disciples of Jindan Sect is Mo Wufeng, who is also the only inner disciple of the sect master and the eldest senior brother of Jindan Sect.

According to limited documentary records, Mo Wufeng enjoyed a very high status among the various sects.

He is often asked to mediate disputes between sects, playing a role similar to that of an arbitrator.

This is not only because he has the support of the Jindan Sect behind him, but more importantly, Mo Wufeng himself is a leader among the young generation at that time and has extraordinary strength.

However, the Jindan Sect mysteriously disappeared overnight, and no one in the sect survived. The Jindan Sect was thus wiped out among all the major sects, and Mo Wufeng's future was also annihilated.

You just said that you saw the residual soul of Mo Wufeng in the secret realm of the Jindan Sect?"

Zhu Qingyang was obviously very surprised by this, after all, this happened a hundred years ago.

After hearing this, Bai Wenzheng suddenly understood, nodded and said:
“I see, it seems we have roughly understood what happened to the Jindan Sect.

In the secret realm, when we first met Mo Wufeng, he was already unconscious and in a state of madness.

After we helped him regain consciousness, Mo Wufeng told us about the past of the Jindan Sect.

It seems that the reason why the disciples of the Jindan Sect have reached such a high level overall is because they have bound the dragon veins in the secret realm and made use of the power of the dragon veins for their benefit. "

"what?!"

This conclusion shocked the members of Team 1 and even made them find it hard to believe.

“Binding dragon veins?
Is there such a magic in the world?"

Chen Tian nodded affirmatively:
“Indeed, when we discovered the dragon vein in the secret realm, it was in a bound state.

The breath of the dragon vein makes the power of the secret realm extremely abundant, and practicing there can indeed be twice the result with half the effort.

If we hadn’t rescued the dragon vein and returned it to the Dadu River, the dragon vein in the Dadu River would probably still be missing.”

Hearing this, the members of Team 1 looked at each other involuntarily.
The inference of the second team seemed to instantly open a window for the confusion currently faced by the first team, letting in a ray of light.

"Could it be that the disappearance of these dragon veins is related to the sect on that mountain?"

Pan Zi asked this question out of the blue, causing everyone present to frown.

Just thinking about this scenario sends chills down one's spine.

"Isn't this possible? The end of the Jindan Sect is the best warning.

Forcibly utilizing the power of dragon veins is undoubtedly an act against heaven.

Eventually they suffered divine punishment, and no one in the entire sect survived.

Other sects should take this as a warning. Who would be willing to take such a big risk and destroy their own sect?"

No team member could give a definite answer to this speculation.

After all, the information they currently know is very limited, and everything is still at the stage of speculation. Zhao Qi remained silent and listened quietly to the discussion of the team members.

Although it's just speculation, what the team members said makes sense.

Zhao Qi knew very well that this situation was by no means ordinary, and something must have disrupted the original peace of the dragon vein.

“We don’t have many clues right now, so perhaps we can try to make a bold guess.

Gather together all the mountains where the dragon energy has disappeared that you currently know of, and see if there is anything in common between them.

Such a major event cannot possibly leave no clues. We must have overlooked something. So, reorganize your thoughts and start over again!"

Zhao Qi's words made the team members nod in agreement. Then, Zhu Qingyang spoke:
“During this period, we have investigated and collected clues from all sides and have sorted out several mountain ranges.

They are Maoshan, Luofushan, Songshan, and Qiyunshan..."

Chen Tian quickly added:
“And there’s Kongtong Mountain!”

Zhao Qi nodded thoughtfully, then looked at the team members and slowly began to guide their thinking:
"Let's analyze it together. Take these five mountains for example. What do they have in common?"

For a moment, the team members fell into deep thought. You looked at me, I looked at you, but none of us had a clue.

“These mountains are scattered all over the country, so they shouldn’t have anything in common.

But under such circumstances, the dragon veins disappeared, which is really incredible..."

Bai Wenzheng frowned and said, Ever since he learned about the disappearance of the dragon vein, he has always felt that he seemed to have caught some clues.

However, this feeling is very vague, like being shrouded in a layer of mist, where one can only vaguely see the outline but not the whole picture.

At this moment, he was thinking back to the conversation he had just had with Team One, trying to find a breakthrough to solve the problem.

This method really worked. When Bai Wenzheng's eyes lit up, he immediately looked at everyone and said:
“Yes… a sect!
There are sects in these five mountains!
Moreover, they are not some obscure small sects, they all had a prominent reputation in history. "

The team members were all surprised when they heard this; they really hadn't expected this.

However, now that Bai Wenzhen has pointed it out, this matter seems even more terrifying when you think about it carefully.

Chen Tian frowned and said seriously:
“Master Buddha is right, there are indeed famous sects located on these five mountains.

On Mount Maoshan there is the Taoist Maoshan Sect;
There is the Longmen Sect of Taoism in Luofu Mountain;
There are Buddhist Thousand Buddha Temples in Songshan Mountain;

There is the Taoist Sanqing Sect in Qiyun Mountain;
Kongtong Mountain is naturally the Kongtong Sect!"

Chen Tian listed these sects one by one, and the suspicion of this matter gradually pointed to these sects.

Han Feng found this a little unbelievable:

“I think our guess is a bit too bold?

Now is the Dharma Ending Age, and these sects have long lost their former glory, and their overall strength is certainly not as good as before.

Not to mention why they want to make the dragon veins disappear, it is still unknown whether they have the ability to make the dragon veins disappear.

and……"

Having said that, Han Feng paused, then looked at the members of Team 2 and continued:
“If our current speculation is correct, the disappearance of the dragon vein is really related to these sects.

So can we say that they are following in the footsteps of the Jindan Sect?
The Jindan Sect is a living example, as it was punished by heaven for coveting the dragon veins.

How dare these sects touch the dragon veins?"

Everyone thinks that the point raised by Han Feng makes sense.

This is indeed a doubt that cannot be avoided.

Because if the disappearance of the dragon vein was really caused by the sect, then their only motive for doing so would be to covet the power of the dragon vein.

But if that is the case, a thunder tribulation should occur. How could Heaven allow such a thing to happen?

However, it now seems that these sects are safe and sound, still hidden from the secular sight, and leading a free and easy life.

This makes the team members' speculation somewhat untenable.

The conference room fell silent again. The team members' faces were solemn and their eyes were full of thought.

They had never encountered anything like this before, so they had no experience in dealing with it.

But at this moment, Ajing seemed to have thought of some key information.

“When our second team was dealing with the case of the destruction of the Hero Cemetery, we also discovered the dragon vein that was moved into the world of the painting by the Japanese Onmyoji.

Does this mean that there is actually some way to take the dragon vein away from its original mountain shape?
Like the world in the painting?"

Chen Tian's words made the members of Team 2 suddenly realize, and they began to seriously consider this possibility. Zhao Qi also nodded slightly to show his agreement. Bai Wenzheng further analyzed the situation of the Japanese Yin-Yang Master, pointing out that it was not to bring the dragon vein into the world in the painting, but to use the secret realm where the Jindan Sect had trapped the dragon vein earlier. This view made the team members more curious about how the Jindan Sect controlled the dragon vein.

Zhao Qi saw this and said nothing more. He just gently signaled, and the team members quickly left the meeting room and went to the back mountain to look for Mo Wufeng. The members of Team 1 were full of curiosity about this mysterious person. They had never seen him before, but only heard of him.

When they arrived at the back mountain, a huge clay statue came into view, with an invisible force lingering around it. Mo Wufeng was using the secret method of the Jindan School to adjust his state. Han Feng looked at the statue in confusion and said he had never seen it before. The fat man explained mysteriously that the statue was pieced together and combined the characteristics of many statues.

Han Feng couldn't help but sigh that the second team's style of doing things was too bold. Not only did they change fate, but they also created their own statues. Ah Jing reluctantly explained that at the time, time was tight and the skills were complicated, so they had to do this.

As the team members were discussing, the power on the clay statue gradually dissipated. Bai Wenzheng and others knew that Mo Wufeng had noticed their arrival. So, they led a team of members to salute and introduce the two sides.

Mo Wufeng's voice came from the statue. He humbly said that he did not dare to call himself a senior, and thanked the 788 Exploration Team and Zhao Qi for their help. Then, Bai Wenzheng asked directly how the Jindan Sect could strip the dragon vein from its original place and bring it into the secret realm.

This topic seemed to have touched the pain deep in Mo Wufeng's heart, and his tone became heavy. He said frankly that they didn't want to talk about this matter, but since they were asked, they told him a thing or two. However, he knew very little, and only mentioned that the master had found a secret technique in ancient books, and secluded himself for 49 days, using a drop of blood every day to perform ancient rituals. Later, when the master came out of seclusion, he was very weak, and black lines spread on his wrists, which was a sign of backlash. In the end, the Jindan Sect was punished by heaven for going against the will of heaven, and the whole sect was destroyed.

Mo Wufeng's tone was still heavy when he mentioned this past event. He asked the team members in confusion why they suddenly brought it up and whether they had made a mistake. Chen Tianze sighed and admitted that they had encountered similar problems and suspected that some sects were imitating the Jindan Sect and using the power of the dragon veins. Their investigation found that the dragon veins of many mountains had disappeared, and there were sects located on these mountains. This was the only common point.

Mo Wufeng was very emotional after hearing this. He couldn't believe that these sects would repeat the mistakes of the Jindan Sect. He firmly believed that the secret book had been reduced to ashes in the fire, and no one knew that method anymore. How did these sects know about it? His question made the team members fall into deep thought.

The team members looked at each other and shook their heads, saying that it was just speculation and the specific cause still needed further investigation. They then asked Mo Wufeng if he could provide some clues that would help with the follow-up investigation.

Mo Wufeng was silent for a moment, and finally spoke: "I am not very clear about the specific details, but I know that anyone who has performed this ritual will suffer backlash, and a gradually spreading black line will appear on the wrist. The longer the ritual lasts, the faster the black line spreads. This feature may help you determine whether they have violated the taboo." (End of this chapter)
