Under One Person: One Person Goes

Chapter 445: Fucheng Crisis
"Fucheng?"

"What is Fucheng? Is it like Longhushan or Maoshan, the ancestral home of Taoism, a sacred place where a sect was founded?"

Hearing the horrified expressions of the old patriarch of the Wang family and Master Jin Guang when they said in unison that these Japanese strange people were going to turn the current Jinling City into a blessed city, Wang Yi could only guess at this unfamiliar word.

Seeing that Wang Yi didn't understand at all, the old patriarch of the Wang family spoke first.

"You are both right and wrong."

"You two old men are still making fun of me at this time?"

"I'm not kidding. To the two of us old guys, what the Japanese are going to do right now is something we've only read about in ancient books. We never thought they would actually dare to do it. As for the so-called Fucheng, let this old guy named Duan talk about it. He is Quan Xing, but he comes from a Taoist sect and has a deep connection with the Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain. He can explain it more clearly."

Seeing that the old patriarch of the Wang family gave him the right to speak, and seeing that Wang Yi looked like he was seeking an answer, Master Jin Guang coughed twice.

"Don't be impatient. Let me, an old man, take my time and think about how to tell you. You just connected Longhu Mountain and Maoshan, the two Taoist ancestral temples, with the word Fucheng, which is not wrong, but the difference between the two is that one is natural and the other is man-made."

"Then what is the story behind this man-made blessed city and blessed land?"

"Wang Yi, when Ghost Hand King taught you his skills, did he ever tell you about The Investiture of the Gods?"

"It is said that since the beginning of history, this was the only time in China that a war between aliens was fought based on the ideas of the Chan and Jie sects. Since then, it seems that no similar fights between aliens have been heard of in all dynasties."

"Humph, what the old fellow Ghost Hand King said is not bad. Since the Zhou Dynasty, there have been many schools of thought, and after the Han Dynasty, Confucianism has been the only school of thought. This is nothing more than a microcosm of many schools of thought trying to figure out how to ascend. Although there are gaps and fights between them, compared with the great war between Shang and Zhou, it is really not worth mentioning.

But he certainly didn't tell you that although the book "Investiture of the Gods" was fictional, there are two points in it that are true. The first is that the circle at that time was divided into two factions because of the ideas of the Chan and Jie sects, and they stood on the side of the dynasty to fight a war. The second is the ancestral temple of the Chan and Jie sects. "

"Yuxu Palace and Biyou Palace?! Do these two places really exist?!"

As soon as Wang Yi heard Master Jin Guang talking about the secrets of this extraordinary person hidden in history, he became interested.

Seeing Wang Yi so excited, Master Jin Guang quickly explained.

"It's not as mysterious as you think. Yuxu Palace is located in Kunlun Mountain, which is the ancestor of many dragon veins in our Shenzhou. In ancient times, it was normal for practitioners to live in Kunlun Mountain to practice. There are still some schools there now, but the ruins of Yuxu Palace have long disappeared. The question is, since Yuxu Palace really exists, what about Biyou Palace? What about Jin'ao Island where Biyou Palace is located?"

"Master, are you trying to tell me that this Jin'ao Island is a man-made blessed island? A fairy island? Just like the blessed city you just mentioned?"

"That's right. The reason why Jin'ao Island is no longer in the world is not because it sank or was destroyed. It's just that it is no longer a blessed island and has become what it was originally. Speaking of this, we have to talk about Feng Shui. You should have some understanding of this aspect."

Wang nodded and subconsciously said a joke that was engraved in the DNA of his soul.

"The dragonfly touches the water hole. If the ancestors are buried vertically, the descendants will surely be great."

"Oh? Is that awesome?"

Wang Yi was silent. No, why are you still talking to me, old man?
"I'm not kidding you. In our land of China, dynasties have changed. Many kings, princes and generals have built tombs after their death. The places they chose were all good feng shui sites, but no dynasty has really blessed their descendants and prospered forever. The root of this is also related to the ancient war between Chan and Jie. Whether it is the book "The Investiture of the Gods" or the classics of various major sects with a long history, when recording this war, they all mentioned one point, that is, the number of practitioners on the Jie side far exceeded that of the Chan sect.

It shouldn't be like this, right? Except for a very small number of people with extraordinary talents, such as you and Zhang Zhiwei, the rest are actually almost the same. No matter how different their philosophies are, the disparity in numbers between the two sects shouldn't be so great. If this is the case, as long as the top people of the two sects are pinned down, and the rest can mix with the army and fight each other, in the end, the winner should be the Jie Sect, not the Chen Sect.

Why did Zhou win in the end? Was it the Chan Sect? Don't tell me that it was in line with the general trend. The feudal system was not created by Zhou. The root of the problem was the blessed island and Jin'ao Island that Jie Sect created with the combined efforts of everyone. "

After listening to Master Jin Guang's explanation, Wang Yi finally understood why this so-called blessed city had moved these two old veterans.

The so-called Fucheng, as the name suggests, is a blessed land. Its source is the Jin'ao Island, where the ancestral temple of the Jie sect was located during the great battle between the two sects of Chan and Jie in the Shang and Zhou dynasties. This Jin'ao Island is where the practitioners who believed in the Jie sect's philosophy gathered their strength and diverted countless dragon veins, converging them onto a small island, turning it into an immortal island in the mythological books.

As the saying goes, the land and water nurture the people. Poor mountains and bad water will produce unruly people, and vice versa.

Otherwise, why would there be so-called natural scenic areas? Why was the Tianshi Mansion chosen to be located in Longhu Mountain? It is because it is suitable for practicing.

This was the case with the Jin'ao Island back then. As the practitioners of the Jiejiao sect used great means to intercept countless dragon veins and gather them here, the Jin'ao Island, which was just a normal island, underwent a mutation under the nourishment of countless dragon veins, or the qi of heaven and earth. This mutation also led to the growth of the Jiejiao sect.

The most intuitive manifestation is that theoretically everyone in the world can practice cultivation, but the reason why extraordinary people are extraordinary is that they have obvious cultivation talents that ordinary people do not have since they were born. It takes ordinary people decades to pass the first level of Qi, but for extraordinary people, it only takes one week to three months to break through and enter the door of cultivation.

But this talent is random. Even if alien families intermarry with each other and repeatedly purify their bloodlines, there is no guarantee that a born alien and a born alien will give birth to an alien offspring.

Under normal circumstances, the combination of one hundred extraordinary people or one hundred ordinary people will only produce one or two offspring with the talent for cultivation. It is fair and it all depends on fate.

But on the Jin'ao Island, the possibilities were broken. Whether it was a hundred extraordinary people or a hundred ordinary people, as long as they combined, they could give birth to 10 or even 20 offspring with the talent for cultivation.

In addition, injuries heal much faster on Jin'ao Island than in other places. Even long-standing illnesses can be cured with the nourishment of the incomprehensibly powerful Qi of heaven and earth on Jin'ao Island.

Even when it comes to drawing talismans, even if a disciple of the Tianshi Mansion is in Longhu Mountain and has the assistance of a master, it may not be possible to draw a Five Thunder Talisman within a day. It also depends on the right time, place and people.

But on this Jin'ao Island, you may not need any assistance, and suddenly you will get inspired and draw several top-grade five-thunder talismans in one go to strike people. It is precisely because this Jin'ao Island is a man-made blessed island, with countless dragon veins and the Qi of heaven and earth irrigating it, that it has such great power, and attracted countless practitioners and ordinary people at that time, and the Jiejiao was able to grow so strong and gain the reputation of "Ten Thousand Immortals Come to Pay Homage".

"But the laws of nature are constant, the moon waxes and wanes, this principle is eternal. Your Jin'ao Island has plundered so much dragon veins and the energy of heaven and earth to irrigate itself and grow stronger, but what about those areas where you plundered the dragon veins? What should the people in those areas do? How can they survive when the fields are barren and the water is not flowing? Yes, they can also choose to leave their homes and settle in Jin'ao Island.

But your Jin'ao Island is just an island, how many people can you accommodate? If you can't accommodate all of them, then your idea of ​​teaching without discrimination is a slap in the face? Well, let's take a step back, even if you can accommodate everyone, can the heaven and earth Qi on this Jin'ao Island still be as magical as before?"

"So, in order to prove that the philosophy of their own sect was correct, and to ensure that Jin'ao Island could still be as magical as before, there was the battle between Chan and Jie. The reason why Jie lost in the end was not because they lost to Chan, but to themselves. The magical power of Jin'ao Island at that time could no longer support the practitioners and ordinary people on the island, and it collapsed on its own.

The dragon veins that had been plundered returned to the land of China and searched for their own veins. When the practitioners who believed in the teachings of Jiejiao saw that Jin'ao Island was nothing but a moon in a well, their hearts were broken and they no longer had the will to fight. Naturally, there was no need to continue the war between Chanjiao and Jiejiao. "

Wang Yi took over Master Jin Guang's words and summarized the war between Chan and Jie in Shang and Zhou. However, the more he spoke, the more he felt that it was somewhat similar to the current world situation.

"Yes, since then, the ideas of Jiejiao have lost their persuasiveness. You use methods that are against the will of heaven to strengthen yourself, and in the end, you will spit out what you eat. The problem now is that these Japanese are treating this city as a replica of the war between Shang and Zhou dynasties, and want to create another Jin'ao Island! A blessed city!
Their method is to use the blood of the people of our land of China and the status of this ancient capital to divert the surrounding dragon veins and gather them here. They want to take root in our land of China and never leave! But what we two old guys don’t understand is that the method of creating a blessed land was lost in the Qin and Han dynasties. All the schools and factions only have records about this blessed land, but no method of making it. They also know very well that whoever has this thing will be the target of public criticism and will be attacked by everyone.

Because once this method is used, it cannot be concealed from anyone. Where did these Japanese get it from? "

"It is said that in order to seek immortality, Qin Shi Huang ordered the Taoist priest Xu Fu to take a hundred boys and girls out to sea. However, Xu Fu did not return until the Qin Dynasty was destroyed. If the place Xu Fu went to was Japan..."

The old patriarch of the Wang family gave a rough guess, but for Wang Yi, it didn’t matter who passed the method of creating a blessed land to the local strange school in Japan.

"Two seniors, the question now is how can we break this situation and destroy these things?"

"If I'm not mistaken, the words you overheard earlier were deliberately told to you by them. We've fallen into a trap. Although this earth vein nail has the effect of locking the dragon vein, it will only be icing on the cake if it doesn't destroy the main vein it's nailed to. Moreover, you seem to have underestimated the magical effect of this Fucheng."

Looking at the earth vein nails in his hand, Master Jin Guang simply exerted some force and crushed the twelve nails into powder. The powder was scattered around and he told Wang Yi what he was most worried about.

"Appreciate further details."

"Since it is a blessed city, there will naturally be a city lord. Once success is achieved, the city lord can freely control the dragon veins plundered into the city. The uses of the qi of heaven and earth are endless."

"The fact that the people of Fucheng can give birth to extraordinary offspring is only one reason. The second reason is that the city lord can decide who in the city can enjoy the magnificent heaven and earth qi and who cannot. If an enemy enters the city, it's still okay for ordinary people, but if it's an extraordinary person, the heaven and earth qi cannot be mobilized and can only rely on the qi in their own bodies. If you use one point, you will have one less point, which can make you die of exhaustion. This is another method used by Fucheng to cut off the connection between heaven and earth.

The third is that people who live in the blessed city will have their lifespan extended, and if they are practitioners with great abilities, they can also achieve immortality. "

"Master, you must be joking with me. If I could achieve immortality, I would have won the battle between Chan and Jie. I don't believe that Jie had no outstanding figures back then."

Wang Yi's expression was not quite right. He could understand prolonging life, but what was the principle of immortality? Like the Jiejiao immortal he had fought in the United States? There was more than one? What the hell!
"Are you mistaken? Changsheng is not eternal life, nor is it ascension. It just allows a person who should have died to live in an alternative way. The Taoist's Bingjie and Shijie are like this. The God of War you mentioned before is not a god. Perhaps it is an old guy from Japan who lived hundreds of years ago by using Bingjie to live in the world. He wants to use the blood of the people, the surrounding dragon veins, and the power of Fucheng to live again in the present.

If so, we will be in big trouble."

Bad news came to Wang Yi one after another, making him understand that it was no wonder that there were alien worldviews in this time and space. This war of resistance would also cause a lack of successors in the Chinese alien circle, and the inheritance of many schools would be interrupted.

The other party has supernatural powers and cannons, and uses threats and inducements. He is simply gambling on the fate of his country to eat you.

Apart from my magical skills, I also had little steel and energy in the early stages, so even if I won, I would still be lying there with my breath hanging on.

No wonder it's not surprising that in the 21st century, the Americans are still conducting human research and creating artificial humans, while we are still coveting the Eight Great Skills and are not on the same page with the company.

It's not that the backers behind the company don't want to keep up, it's just that their own blood hasn't recovered until the 21st century, and they don't have the capital to bet with the company.

"That is to say, it is useless for us to hide in the safe zone now. Once they succeed, the first ones to suffer will be the soldiers and civilians that Grandpa Wang and I rescued in the safe zone. They will be directly exposed to the enemy's butcher knife. The next ones to suffer will be us. We will be surrounded and killed without any help from heaven or earth."

"Yes."

"Is there any solution?"

"The only way to break it is to find the city lord who built this Fucheng by the Japanese. Once the city lord dies, there will be loopholes in the formation of Fucheng. If there is no replacement, what they took in will be vomited out as time goes by. The second way is to escape before this Fucheng is completed. As for wanting to destroy this Fucheng, since they let you know, I'm afraid that this Fucheng has already been built. With your ability, it's probably difficult."

"For such a large city, how could they have built the entire Fucheng system quietly?"

"That depends on how you define big. If it's just the main city area, we can do it very quickly if we make all the preparations. Jin'ao Island is not on the same level as a small city. Also, we have already prepared nutrients for them. As for the soldiers and civilians stranded in the city, their blood and qi, our speed of rescuing people cannot keep up with their speed of killing people. As one is increasing while the other is decreasing, there is no way to break through."

"So from now on, we not only have to race against time with these Japanese, but also against God?"

"Yes, I've told you the method. It's up to you to decide what to do."

Master Jin Guang has let it go. At his age now, the Golden Escape Flow has been passed down, so it doesn't matter where or how he dies.

As for Wang Yi, he has to make the decision on what to do next.
