"So, since there were immortal spirits granted imperial titles during the Qing Dynasty, if we go back further, were there any in the Ming Dynasty or the Yuan Dynasty?"

Hearing Zhang Chulan say this, Wang Ye laughed out loud.

"Of course there are."

"Otherwise, where did the Zhenwu Emperor we worship in Wudang Mountain come from?"

"Emperors of all dynasties have bestowed titles upon the Great Zhenwu Emperor."

"Legend has it that Zhu Yuanzhang escaped the enemy's pursuit thanks to the protection of the Great Emperor Zhenwu, and after ascending the throne, he was canonized as the Emperor of Xuantian."

"Although I have never seen the legendary Zhenwu Emperor, I believe he must exist."

"If these immortal spirits who were bestowed with imperial titles by the Qing Dynasty were to continue receiving imperial titles for hundreds or thousands of years, they would probably become immortal gods!"

Zhang Chulan laughed.

"It's a new era now, this kind of thing doesn't work anymore."

"Sister Baoer, please continue reading and see what happens next."

"it is good!"

Subsequently.

Feng Baobao continued to read the notes in her hand.

The Seven Sages of Black Water are led by Tiger Mother. I asked her to lead me to the immortal spirit that stopped them in the first place.

Seeing me coming, the Seven Sages of Black Water were all very excited, because they all knew that if I went, I would be able to defeat that immortal spirit and make it flee to the ground.

[On the way, according to the tiger mother among the Seven Sages of Black Water, they had asked other elderly immortal spirits nearby about the origins of this immortal spirit who was bestowed with the imperial title.]

According to the old spirits, during the reign of Emperor Guangxu, a group of Qing soldiers escorted something to Chulongyin on Suolong Ridge. Since then, a spirit has appeared on the suspension bridge over the mountain stream, blocking the way.

Because there was nothing on the other side worthy of these elves' attention, they allowed that immortal to guard the suspension bridge for decades.

Soon, we arrived at a suspension bridge built during the Qing Dynasty. However, the bridge was shrouded in fog, and we couldn't see what was on the other side.

Tiger Mom told me that the immortal guarding the bridge is inside the bridge, and if I enter, I will be attacked by the immortal guarding the bridge.

[Daji stepped forward and blew away the fog.]

[On the bridge, a Qing Dynasty figure wearing an official hat appears.]

This Qing Dynasty man approached us, sword in hand, claiming to be a Qing imperial guard. However, Daji told me he was merely a fish monster, granted an official title by the emperor and possessing many incredible abilities.

[This was the case when Daji was the Grand Master of the Shang Dynasty. I asked her what abilities she gained when she became the Grand Master of the Shang Dynasty, but she refused to tell me.]

After I easily subdued the Qing Dynasty man, the fish monster revealed its true form. It seemed to be intoxicated by the vanity of its imperial title, muttering, "How dare you attack an imperial official!"

[I told this fish monster the truth: it is just a fish monster.]

[But the other party was too immersed in the play, and kept muttering that the emperor would appoint him as a royal guard of the Qing Dynasty.]

【And claimed that the emperor would avenge him. 】

After feeding this fish monster to Tiger Mother, I couldn't help but lament that secular power could even influence such a deity.

[Why would I want to be an official? Wouldn't it be better to be a free and easy fish monster? ]

I quickly put this matter behind me and continued walking inside with Daji and the Seven Sages of Black Water.

【After we crossed the bridge, a group of zombies blocked our way.】

【But I know this leader of the living dead.】

[It was the same Qing Dynasty priest who brought me in when I was infiltrating the Qing Dynasty.]

"what?"

When hearing this, Zhang Chulan couldn't help but exclaim.

"Is this actually the Qing court priest?"

"It's incredible."

"After these Qing Dynasty priests disappeared, could it be that they all came to Locking Dragon Ridge?"

"Then isn't Xitala Qingyue here too?"

Huang Boren, who knew the specific contents of the notes, nodded.

"It's really hard to imagine that after the fall of the Qing Dynasty, there would still be such crazy actions."

Wang Ye was confused at the moment.

"What? Zhang Chulan, what's going on in this place?"

Zhang Chulan sorted out his thoughts and spoke slowly.

"The owner of this notebook once infiltrated various major sects to learn various techniques. Even the shaman priests of the Qing Dynasty had infiltrated there before."

"One day, all the Qing Dynasty priests disappeared, and even the owner of this notebook didn't know where they went."

"I never thought we'd meet here at Locking Dragon Ridge. I really don't know what the Qing court is planning!"

Wang Ye was also a little surprised after hearing the whole story.

"There's actually such a thing."

At this time, Feng Baobao had continued reading.

My appearance now is different from when I was in the Qing court, so the priest did not recognize me.

[At the same time, the priest had cast some unknown spell, his skin turning ashen, as if he had transformed himself into a zombie.]

[This priest was very wary of our intrusion.]

[He also told us that if we could return, he would grant official positions to all the immortals and spirits present.]

[Because the Seven Sages of Black Water were so eager for official positions, they actually chose to turn against us and join forces with this group of Qing demons to deal with Daji and me.]

After hearing this, Zhang Chulan fell into a speechless expression.

“Is this position really that good?”

"I was actually tempted to turn against him on the spot."

“It’s like risking your life.”

Wang Ye now understood a little.

"According to what the old Heavenly Master said, these spirits who are not worshipped and who make a living in the mountains and forests actually have a very hard life."

“If I receive the imperial title, I’m afraid it would be like changing my fate.”

"It's a completely different status from before."

Zhang Chulan rubbed his eyebrows.

"If that's the case, then the owner of the notebook and Daji are the calamities on their journey to defy fate and change their destiny?"

The old Taoist priest felt something at this moment.

"Yes, this is the doom of the Seven Sages of Black Water."

"It's hard to get a human body, and it's not easy for animals to become spirits. The heavenly tribulation is the tribulation of thunder, the earthly tribulation is the earthly fire, and the human tribulation is the tribulation of asking for a title, or in other words, the tribulation of killing these immortals caused by humans."

“This shows that cultivation is not easy.”

"If you fail, thousands of years of cultivation will be destroyed in an instant, or even reduced to ashes."

"The time recorded in this note is when the Seven Sages of Black Water were about to face the calamity. They were completely blinded by the benefits of the imperial title and didn't care about the gap between them and my father at all."

"It seems these Seven Sages of Blackwater deserve to die."

Hearing the old Taoist priest's words, Zhang Chulan's eyes were filled with sorrow.

"It's just a pity for these monsters that have cultivated themselves in the mountains."

"It's so hard to be born as a human being."

At this time, Feng Baobao had continued reading.

[I don't want to kill this Qing Dynasty priest, but the Seven Sages of Blackwater are truly annoying. Fence-sitters are always the first to be eliminated.]

[So I stopped holding back against the Seven Sages of Black Water and directly used the Samadhi True Fire, which is designed to burn the souls of all things.]

[The Seven Sages of Black Water were burned to death in an instant, and the Qing court priest's undead subordinates were also burned to ashes along with them.]

I asked him what this place was for.

Is it true, as folklore says, that some members of the Qing court transformed themselves into immortal Qing demons, attempting to emerge and seize power during a time of great chaos?

Under the onslaught of my Samadhi True Fire, this Qing court priest was thrown into complete disarray, and actually told me the entire story directly.

Before her death, Empress Dowager Cixi issued two decrees: the explicit one, which allowed Xuantong to succeed her, and the implicit one, which sent another prince, Fuduo, to the underground Qing palace.

When they heard that the legend was true, everyone's pupils couldn't help but tremble.

Is this really happening?

Huang Boren was even more frightened.

"If the owner of the notebook hadn't solved the problem of the underground Qing Palace, wouldn't Chu Longyin in Locking Dragon Ridge still have this underground Qing Palace?"

Zhang Chulan couldn't help but feel curious when he saw Huang Boren's big reaction.

"What's wrong, Mr. Huang? Is this serious?"

"I think it's just a group of living dead hiding underground. Why not just let the people from the Xiangxi Liu family go through?"

Huang Boren shook his head.

"It's not that simple!"

"If the underground palace is still there, then the entire company must mobilize all forces to eliminate this huge safety hazard!"

"Otherwise, I won't even be able to sleep peacefully!"

Chapter 120: Killing the Horned Dragon, the Unfathomable Regent!

Seeing Huang Boren so excited, Zhang Chulan didn't know how to respond for a moment.

At this moment, the old Taoist priest said:

"Mr. Huang, there's no need to be so nervous about this place."

"It's been so many years, but he still hasn't shown up?"

"I think we should just monitor it first and destroy it if it shows up."

"There's no need to let so many people go."

Hearing the old Taoist's voice, Huang Boren nodded.

"Old Heavenly Master, you are right."

"But it would be bad if this underground Qing Palace cooperated with the people above."

"The emergence of a few cholera-stricken people would be a disaster for everyone."

"So after I finish this note-taking, I'm going to have Gao Lian and the others conduct a thorough investigation to see if there are any remnants of the Qing Dynasty still living in these places."

After hearing this, the old Taoist priest said nothing more.

Huang Boren turned around and looked at Feng Baobao.

"Keep reading, baby."

"it is good!"

Soon, Feng Baobao's voice echoed in the cave again.

After learning the whole story, I spared this Qing Dynasty priest.

Daji was very confused by my actions, so I could only tell her about my time in the Qing court.

After following the Qing court priest to the entrance to the underground Qing Palace, I saw an extremely large crooked tree above the entrance.

This crooked tree gives people a strange feeling. No matter from which angle you look at it, it looks like a dragon soaring in the sky.

Daji told me that through her observation, this crooked tree is actually connected to an underground dragon vein, forming a rare hanging-horn dragon.
