I stole divine power in Daxia

Chapter 582: One Dragon, Three Eats

After the Garuda Bird Yuan Qian captured Mei Juncang and the other two, he originally wanted to fly back to the Fahua Temple first to interrogate the three people about who their master was, so that he could find a suitable reason to seize the nine thunder drums as an apology.

It was because he was born in the Fahua Temple, one of the four holy places of Buddhism, and as one of the eight guards of the temple, Yuan Qian dared to capture Mei Juncang and the other two first. However, he happened to be about ten miles downstream, and naturally saw the scene of Zhuge Dan, the Marquis of Shenwu, fishing for a river dragon. So he put aside the matter of Mei Juncang and the other two and came to visit them.

Zhuge Dan carefully examined Yuan Qian and revealed Yuan Qian's background. "It's been a long time since I last saw the Garuda bird, one of the eight groups of the Fahua Temple. Did the previous generation of Garuda pass away?"

Yuan Qian saw that the other party had revealed his background and seemed to have a good relationship with his father, so he quickly replied, "My father died in the battle of Dongxiang Dragon Court eighty years ago to save the people. Who is your father?"

He took the opportunity to ask, the Garuda lineage is a natural enemy of the dragon clan, so in the last battle of Dongxiang Dragon Court, the Garuda of the Fahua Temple was the most active high-level participant, both because of the Buddhist tradition and the nature of the Garuda.

Although the people below may not know this secret, those who have lived longer than the third rank or above almost all know it. However, the senior in front of him who can easily fish up a real dragon does not know it. He may have not traveled in the mortal world for a long time.

No, it’s not that they don’t live in the secular world. Even if the Taoist masters are ignorant, their Taoist school interacts with all living beings. They must know some obvious information about such a big event as the encirclement and suppression of Dongxiang Longting. So the senior in front of him should have just revived not long ago!
Yuan Qian looked at Zhuge Dan again and immediately found that Zhuge Dan looked very similar to a certain great figure in history, especially the feather fan in his hand and the high crown of Qi State. He quickly bowed his head and said, "Greetings to the Marquis of Shenwu."

Zhuge Dan looked at the three-colored auspicious clouds that were flourishing to the extreme without any cover above Yuan Qian's head, and said with a smile, "Since you are the son of an old friend, then come in and have a cup of tea."

Zhuge Dan led Yuan Qian into the courtyard. After they sat down again, Li Jing and Hu Wenlang exchanged greetings with Yuan Qian. After knowing their identities, Yuan Qian felt more and more that it was right for him to come here today. The secret meeting between the Fourth Prince of Daxia and the former Prime Minister of Qi, who was known for his unparalleled strategic planning, must be more than just a cup of tea.

However, he did not directly ask the reason for the secret meeting of the three people, but said in a roundabout way, "I saw that the Marquis of Shenwu captured a wicked dragon from the river. Do you want to take action against the Dragon Court in the Luo River? If so, I am willing to serve you."

This is Yuan Qian’s guess.

Zhuge Dan is a noble first-rank official who practices Confucianism, Law, and Yin-Yang. His purpose of taking action is definitely not just to catch a third-rank real dragon. Considering that Zhuge Dan should have just recovered from the library battle in Yujing Mountain, his current strength must not have recovered fully, so Zhuge Dan's purpose is self-evident.

He formed an alliance with Li Jing and planned to build the Da Zheng Long Ting in Luoshui. Li Jing took the opportunity to seize the Cao Gang secretly supported by Da Zheng Long Ting and establish his achievements, while Zhuge Dan obtained the remaining benefits to help him fully recover to the first-class strength. By then, if the saint did not appear and there was no bondage of Qi State, almost no one in the world would be able to kill Zhuge Dan.

Zhuge Dan did not play it safe and said with a smile, "I do have this idea, but if I want to implement it, I have to wait for a few other friends to come."

Zhuge Dan spoke frankly about his thoughts, and Li Jing's expression moved slightly. At first, he just wanted to enter the Taoist sect that banned Ren Tu and gain benefits, but he didn't think about why Zhuge Dan wanted to help him.

It is true that Zhuge Dan did have an irreconcilable hatred with the butcher Jiang Taiyi. Jiang Taiyi had killed many soldiers of Qi State in the past, so Zhuge Dan certainly did not want Jiang Taiyi to have an easy life. But at the same time, Zhuge Dan was not the kind of fool who would take advantage of others.

Zhuge Dan had his own demands, which was why he went fishing at the right time, causing all the changes.

Hu Wenlang figured out the reason before Li Jing did, and said, "It turns out that the biggest trouble in destroying Long Ting can be solved this way."

Eliminate the biggest trouble of Longting.

Li Jing suddenly woke up. It was not that Daxia was incapable of wiping out the Dragon Court in the Luo River, but the price was too high to bear. The price was not only the death of one or two second-grade practitioners, but also the fact that the war between the two sides would inevitably cause the Luo River and even the Yellow River to flood, causing millions or even tens of millions of people to be displaced, and permanently changing the landform and even the climate structure. This was the result of the death of a second-grade deity.

The recent war with Yuan Meng in the north has permanently changed the geographical structure outside the Great Wall. It is now deserted and uninhabited, so Daxia is not worried at all. However, the Heluo Plain is the hinterland!

But there is another way to solve the problem of the change in topography caused by the fall of a second-rank god, which is to drag it into the long river of history and cover it up.

In the battle of Shantong Mansion, Tong Lao wanted to detonate Taihang Mountain in the netherworld to change the landform, but Zhou Tieyi and Mo Fei worked together to plot against him and directly broke into the long river of history. In the end, Guan Guan waited for him and directly devoured all his foundations. Now, the Ren Tu Dao Sect that is about to be opened is another huge long river of history that is enough to cover up the second-grade and even first-grade gods.

Marquis Shenwu Zhuge Dan really wants to recover himself, but he also doesn't want to harm ordinary people, so he fishes in this river. The dragon he catches can be used to eat three kinds of food!
Just as everyone had a cup of tea, a visitor came from outside, "Amitabha, I am Shenxiu from the Fahua Temple and I am here with Zhao Fuer from the Zhao family to pay a visit to you, lay Buddhist."

Zhuge Dan put down the teacup in his hand and said with a smile, "You came just in time."

He also went out to greet him in person. As the saying goes, when one is courteous to a wise man, one must ask for something from him, and even the Marquis of Shenwu is no exception.

Shenxiu and Zhao Fuer waited outside for a while, and saw the owner of the courtyard come to open the door in person. Among them was an elder they knew well. They greeted him again and said, "So it's Venerable Yuan Qian who is here."

Although Yuan Qian was always arrogant as a Garuda, he was still good to his juniors. He quickly told Shenxiu the identity of Zhuge Dan, "Shenwu Hou is in front of you, why don't you pay your respects quickly."

Shenxiu looked at the leader, Shenwu Hou, with a slightly surprised look on his face, then he put his palms together and said, "Greetings, Shenwu Hou."

Zhao Fu'er's temperament has changed again in the past six months. During the battle in Shantong Mansion, with the help of Zhou Tieyi's holy power and Monk Zhi's "Dazhibenlun Sutra", he also found a way to distinguish his past life and this life. Not only did he embark on the path of cultivation, but he also evolved the reincarnation mill that day, gained a lot of merit, saved the souls of countless unjustly killed miners, and comprehended the supreme Buddhist Dharma.

After leaving Shantong Mansion, he continued to travel around the world with Shenxiu. His progress was very fast. He even comprehended the Taoist tradition before Shenxiu. The Great Mill of Samsara was the foundation of Zhao Furu's Taoist tradition.

Zhao Fuer followed Shenxiu in performing the junior's etiquette, but Zhuge Dan stopped Zhao Fuer and said with a smile, "You and I were equals back then."

Zhao Fuer paused, but still performed a junior's salute, "The previous life is the previous life, and this life is this life. If you are obsessed with the previous life, how can you cultivate this life?"

Zhao Fuer's words stunned Zhuge Dan, who had known everything from the beginning. After a while, he said with a leisurely sigh, "It seems that you have figured it out. Yes, you lived a more carefree life than me in your previous life. You tried to convince me to let go several times, but unfortunately, some things cannot be let go, even if you become a Buddha or an ancestor."

Zhao Fuer asked curiously, "What is it that even a senior like you can't let go of?"

Zhuge Dan waved his feather fan, and for the first time his expression changed from gentle to solemn. Invisible psychological pressure weighed on everyone like a dark cloud. "There are many things in my life that I cannot let go of. First, I am ashamed of the late emperor's trust and cannot accomplish the Qi Empire. Second, I did not know how to judge people, and ended up failing at the last moment!"

Hu Wenlang suddenly realized something. He thought to himself, "The historians' final conclusion requires the cooperation of the country's dynasty's luck. At that time, in the last years of Qi, the Emperor of Qi recognized the Marquis of Shenwu as his father-in-law and entrusted all the fate of the country to the Marquis of Shenwu. Naturally, he would not agree with the historians' final conclusion and stop the Marquis of Shenwu from prolonging his life with the Seven Star Lamp method... In fact, the Seven Star Lamp method itself depends on the country's luck. In other words, the Emperor of Qi even gave the jade seal to the Marquis of Shenwu to mobilize the country's luck. So the Marquis of Shenwu failed because a key person he trusted betrayed him!"

"Shenwu Hou is one of the twenty-four masters of the Tianyi Taoist lineage. He must have pardoned and conferred titles on the gods in the past, and he trusted several of them very much. Now, the Dazheng Dragon Court is also a divine court!"

Hu Wenlang immediately connected all the causes and consequences together, and understood that Zhuge Dan came here not only to restore his strength, but also to avenge his grudge three hundred years ago!
A cold wind blew out from the feather fan, blowing towards the Luo River out of thin air, and silently dived into the bottom of the river. Above the dragon vein here, there was a magnificent kingdom of God. The kingdom of God was blue all over, like a huge transparent gem. In the kingdom of God, fiery red coral trees were built into corridors and pavilions, and huge night pearls shone like stars.

In the main hall, five divine auras became pillars reaching the sky. Although it did not cover the nine key nodes of Taihang Mountain like the Taihang Divine Court, it now also controlled the five geomantic nodes of Luoshui. As long as it could fully control all the geomantic nodes of Luoshui, it would be possible to establish a first-class divine court.

The Thunder Priest and the Dragon Priest were both sitting in the guest seats, while on the main seat was a middle-aged man with dragon eyes and tiger features, looking majestic and majestic, and wearing a blue crown. However, he was worried and seemed to be hesitant to speak several times.

The three were originally discussing whether the gods would have a chance to take advantage of Zhou Tieyi's misfortune if Jiang Taiyi's Taoist lineage was unsealed and the thirty-three heavens in Taiyi Temple collapsed. Suddenly, a cold wind blew into the hall, causing the water vapor in the air to condense into an icicle as sharp as a spear. What was even more terrifying was that it pierced directly in front of the middle-aged man and stopped three inches in front of him. For a moment, the divine light in the entire hall dimmed instantly.
