Daqin: The Greatest Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

"I heard that you have been to Loulan." Su Xuan smiled slightly, "We are very interested in the legendary fantasy wonderland."

"On the way to Loulan, please tell us more stories about Loulan."

Guo Dalu's heart was shocked, and he wanted to open his mouth to refuse, but when he saw the four people from Yueshen, he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

The black and white sisters stood motionless behind him, staring at him intently.

Although Moon Goddess and Yan Fei did not speak, the powerful aura they inadvertently revealed made him tremble with fear.

As for Su Xuan, he gave him the gentlest impression, but he felt that he was the most unfathomable among this group of people.

This money is not easy to earn!

Chapter 204 The Legend of Loulan

Guo Dalu finally chose to follow his true inner thoughts and introduced Loulan to Su Xuan and his party.

"If you want to go to Loulan, we need to buy a few camels first. Only camels can help us travel long distances in the desert."

"No need to go through so much trouble." Su Xuan shook his head.

Guo Dalu looked puzzled, and just as he was about to ask, a huge figure that blocked out the sky and the sun appeared in his sight.

"Let's fly directly over." Su Xuan chuckled, picked up Guo Dalu and placed him on the back of the white phoenix.

The white phoenix soared into the sky, and when Guo Dalu came to his senses, they had already flown to a height of dozens of meters.

Can he say he is afraid of heights?

At first, he was indeed scared, but after getting used to it, he felt excited and surprised.

This was his first time flying in the sky! It was also his first time seeing the whole city around him! Now he could brag to his dad when he got back!

The reason why he knew the location of Loulan was not because of any other reason, but because he was a Loulan person himself.

His father was a well-known merchant in Loulan. He would occasionally buy things from outside Loulan. After things like porcelain, perfume, and glass appeared, their contact with the outside world gradually became more frequent.

Because these things were all selling well in Loulan, his father and the merchants with him made a lot of profit from them.

Guo Dalu had an argument with his father because of this matter.

In his opinion, while these things brought them wealth, they would also inevitably bring them disasters. Moreover, frequent contact with the outside world was also expressly prohibited by the high priest. What his father had done was already out of line!

He tried to persuade his father but failed. His father said that if he was the only one involved in this matter, there might be a possibility of stopping, but most of the merchants in Loulan were involved. Even if he wanted to stop, those people would not let him stop.

Besides that, his father told him that everything he did was for him.

In the years since the Dragon Soul was lost, the towns around Loulan have been eroded by the desert. Although Loulan has not been greatly affected, what about in a few years? His father told him that he should make plans early. When he is as old as him, Loulan may no longer be suitable for human survival. Therefore, he must find a way out in advance. If that day comes, he will be able to remain calm and at ease.

When he was young, he looked at his father angrily, questioning him why he didn't think about finding the dragon soul, but was selfishly thinking about himself. He angrily ran out of the door, left Loulan, and took the initiative to embark on the journey of finding the dragon soul.

After several years, he realized that he might have misunderstood him.

Because in the process of searching for the dragon soul, he discovered that his father's caravan was also looking for traces of the dragon soul.

If the dragon soul was not found, Loulan would inevitably turn into a desert. The father who made plans early might have made the right decision.

If we earn more money, we can better support the civilians of Loulan even if we have to move.

Looking back now, he only feels that he was ignorant when he was young, and he also feels a little guilty towards his father.

He looked at Su Xuan and his group, feeling somewhat uneasy, because he didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse for him to bring Su Xuan and his group to Loulan.

Although he thought about refusing at first, he actually knew that if they really wanted to find Loulan, there would be someone other than himself who could find her.

Instead of letting others take them there, it is better to watch them myself. Even if they really have ulterior motives, I can report to the high priest and have them arrested at the first time.

"Husband, look!" Feiyan held the telescope and handed it to Su Xuan with a strange look in her eyes.

In his sight, the sand surged like water, forming whirlpools, and in the sand and dust, huge creatures were swimming through the desert, leaping up from time to time, forming a vast tide of fish. The scene was spectacular.

"This is a kind of fish unique to the desert, called dead fish." Guo Dalu began to introduce, with a hint of confusion in his eyes, because dead fish generally live in underground rivers and quicksands, why would they suddenly appear in the shallow desert?

"Is it edible?" Su Xuan asked a question that Guo Dalu had never thought about.

"There should be no problem eating it." Guo Dalu hesitated for a moment, but finally gave a positive answer.

"But the dried fish lives in the desert, so there may be sand in his body, too."

"Really?" Su Xuan kept his eyes on the dried fish, watching them disappear from his sight.

He was actually quite interested in this kind of fish. For example, would he gain any benefits after eating it? As for whether there was sand in its body, he would kill one first and see for himself.

Of course, to be on the safe side, he would let Li Si's rhubarb taste it first, and only eat it if it was ok.

Su Xuan was not in a hurry to taste the food. When leaving Loulan, he would just kill a few and put them in the system space.

"There are actually quite a few rumors about this desert." Guo Dalu has gradually taken on the role of a tour guide and explained, "It is said that a long time ago, this place was an oasis with beautiful scenery. However, the king here built palaces and cut down trees, causing the land to dry up and become barren, and gradually turned into sand and dust."

"There are also rumors that there was a great battle between the river god and the desert god. The river god was defeated, and the surrounding land has since turned into a desert."

"Aren't you talking about the battle between Fengbo, Yushi and Hanba?" Su Xuan smiled slightly. He had a deep memory of this period of history.

Because there is a clear record in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, which says, "There was a girl in green clothes, named Huangdi's daughter Ba. Chiyou asked Fengbo and Yushi to make a big storm. Huangdi sent down a goddess named Ba, and the rain stopped, and then killed Chiyou."

Nüba can be said to have played a vital role in Huangdi's victory over Chiyou.

Loulan was the place where Huangdi and Chiyou once fought. Su Xuan felt that the reason why thousands of miles of land were covered with desert was most likely caused by Nüba.

After all, even if Hanba does nothing, he can turn a thousand miles of land into barren land. If he exerts his divine power, the destructiveness to all things in nature can be imagined.

While the two were talking, the White Phoenix also flew to the entrance of Loulan.

Su Xuan and his group landed on the desert together.

Looking at the underground undercurrent that turned into a vortex in front of him, Su Xuan's face showed surprise. This thing, is it going to jump directly into it?

However, before he could think about it, the wind and sand around him gathered together to form a huge figure.

Dozens of figures appeared one after another. They were all huge in size, standing in front of them like giants more than ten meters tall, surrounding Su Xuan and his group.

"Trap?" Yue Shen's face turned cold, and her internal force turned into an invisible palm, pinching Guo Dalu's neck and lifting him into the air.

Su Xuan frowned slightly, his eyes were solemn, and he shook his head, "No, this is a mirage."

Chapter 205 Mirage

"Mirage?" The Moon Goddess looked at Su Xuan with confusion.

Su Xuan nodded slightly and explained, "When certain conditions are met, the scenery in the distance will appear in front of us. This phenomenon is called a mirage."

"My husband, what you mean is that what we are seeing now are all illusions?" Feiyan asked while being on guard against the appearing enemies.

"That's right!" Su Xuan looked at the huge monsters around him with a frown on his face, "But what we saw today may not be the current scene."

"I suspect what we saw was the scene of the battle between Huangdi and Chiyou."

Su Xuan's words were so shocking that Yueshen and Feiyan were both shocked and looked at him in disbelief.

Why does the great war in ancient times appear now?

This is incredible!

The Moon Goddess looked at the giant formed by sand and dust, feeling its terrifying power, and her scalp tingled. And this was just one of them. There were dozens of them in front of them!

Looking at Guo Dalu floating in the air, her eyes moved, and with a slight wave of her sleeves, Guo Dalu flew towards one of the giants.

Just when the two collided with each other, Guo Dalu unexpectedly passed through!

It was actually an illusion!

It's just an illusion, but it has such a strong power. If it were real, how terrifying would it be?

"You!" Guo Dalu fell to the ground and pointed at the Moon Goddess angrily, his eyes almost spitting fire.

However, the Moon Goddess only gave him a glance, and Guo Dalu no longer dared to get angry.

At this moment, he thought that the one who really needed the martial arts secrets was not someone else, but himself.

After confirming that this was an illusion, the women all breathed a sigh of relief, because if it was real, they would never have been able to escape today.

There was also a glimmer of relief in Bai Feng's eyes. As a handsome man who was as free as the wind, there were still many beautiful sights in this world waiting for him to appreciate. How could he die in an uninhabited desert?

"Legend has it that Chi You had eighty-one brothers, with beast bodies and human speech, copper heads stuck to their foreheads, and they eat sand and stones. Each of them has the power to break rocks. They are most likely the giants we have seen!" Su Xuan was also surprised by such a strange change, because this kind of work could never be created by humans.

The mark left by heaven and earth?

No matter what, being able to witness the great battle between cultivators in ancient times is a rare opportunity for Su Xuan and his group.

Whoosh!

As a breeze blew by, the ground suddenly blew up, blowing up wild sand all over the sky. In the center of the storm, a fierce and domineering figure was slowly gathering. He had double horns on his head, and his ears were like swords and spears. His body was surrounded by thunder and lightning. It seemed that even this world could not tolerate his appearance.

Chi You?

Su Xuan's heart trembled, and his eyes inexplicably ignited with a fighting spirit. It was the determination and confidence to defeat the enemy in front of him even though he knew that the enemy was far stronger than him.

Chi You's figure moved forward courageously, and his footsteps were like thunder and waves, shaking the earth. Although he did not look back, Su Xuan had a feeling that he was watching him.

A wonderful illusion?

Su Xuan shook his head and quickly caught up with the giant, preparing to watch the battle between Chi You and Huang Di up close.

Whoosh!

A tornado came with violent force, rolling up wind with a radius of tens of meters. Before it got close, a tingling sensation came from the skin, like needles and knives, making people feel uncomfortable all over.

"Bai Feng, stop." Su Xuan arrived first and grabbed Bai Feng behind him.

"This is real!" His eyes were solemn. Everything before was false, but now it is real. Is this a way to turn the false into the real?

"Sometimes going too fast is not a good thing." He picked up a stone from the ground and threw it into the wind, and it shattered instantly.

When Bai Feng saw this scene, he was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. If Su Xuan hadn't pulled him back in time, he would probably be dead now!

The girls were also somewhat frightened.

As Su Xuan and his group watched, the figures of Chi You and the giant were gradually obscured by the wind and sand. They could faintly hear the sound of thunder and rumbling thunder, as if a shocking battle was breaking out in the center of the battlefield.

A sword light flashed in Su Xuan's eyes, and sword intent poured out from his body. He clenched his sword finger and lightly slashed at the tornado in front of him. The originally unstoppable tornado was instantly cut in half and disappeared without a trace.

The wind and sand gradually dissipated, leaving only a burning wave blowing towards them. The figures of Chi You and the giant disappeared, as if they had never appeared.

Su Xuan paused for a long time, then shook his head with some regret.

Originally, he wanted to experience the power of the Yellowstone Heavenly Book, to see what its mysteries were, and to learn from it himself.

Others may not know the whereabouts of the Yellowstone Book, but how could he not know?

Could it be that Duke Chu Nan has already comprehended the secret of the Heavenly Book?

Such a thought popped up in Su Xuan's mind.

Huangdi, Jiang Ziya, Duke Nan of Chu, the one who will destroy Qin will be Chu, and Zhang Liang.

As for the third owner of the Heavenly Book, Su Xuan felt that it was not excessive for him to pay attention to him.

Huangdi defeated Chiyou, Jiang Ziya assisted King Wen of Zhou in destroying Shang, Duke Nan of Chu gave the Yellow Stone Book to Zhang Liang, and Zhang Liang assisted Liu Bang in establishing the Han Dynasty.

Every owner of the Yellowstone Book seems to have the power to change the world.

"Fei Yan, Yue Shen, do you know Lord Chu Nan?" Thinking that there were high-ranking members of the Yin-Yang family around him, Su Xuan asked immediately.

"Lord Chu Nan was the first wise man of the Chu State in the past. He holds a high position in the Yin-Yang Family, and His Excellency Donghuang treats him with courtesy." Feiyan answered quickly, "Although Lord Chu Nan has never taken action, no one in the Yin-Yang Family dares to underestimate him."

"He is very powerful, perhaps at the same level as Lord Donghuang."

The Moon Goddess added, "Lord Chu Nan's cultivation of astrology has reached an incredible level. The reason why the Yin-Yang family defected to the Qin State was because of Lord Chu Nan's advice."

"Why did my husband suddenly ask about Lord Chu Nan?" The Moon Goddess' beautiful eyes flickered, as if she was thinking about something.

"Given Lord Chu Nan's age, he must know more about the secrets of the Blue Dragon Seven Stars and the Yellow Stone Heavenly Book." Su Xuan's eyes moved slightly, "We can ask him for advice."

Not only Chu Nan Gong, but also his teacher Xunzi, both of them are living fossils of the contemporary world. Perhaps they have already explored the secret of the Seven Stars of the Blue Dragon. Asking them for advice may yield unexpected results.

At least it is much more efficient than aimless exploration.

After finalizing the visit to the Yin-Yang family, Su Xuan and his party crossed the underground undercurrent and successfully arrived in Loulan.

What comes into view is the lake water as clear as a mirror.

"This lake is called Crescent Lake. Legend has it that when the Crescent Lake in the desert turns into a full moon, people will meet again no matter how far apart they are." Guo Dalu looked at the scenery that was both familiar and unfamiliar, feeling deeply moved.
