Venerable Yuan
Chapter 55 Wei Canglan
The Imperial Examination of the Great Zhou Mansion has come to an end, but this time the Imperial Examination has caused quite a stir in the City of Great Zhou. The most talked-about one among them is that their Great Zhou Mansion is rumored to be unable to open his veins for cultivation. His Highness actually shined in the imperial examination. With the strength of opening six meridians, he powerfully defeated Qi Yue who had opened eight meridians by relying on the art of breaking the meridians...
When this incident came out, it attracted many exclamations, and for the first time, Zhou Yuan's name no longer had the identity of His Highness, but began to gain some fame in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
…
After the Great Zhou Mansion Examination, there was a long vacation. However, for Zhou Yuan, Zhou Yuan did not relax because of his victory in the Mansion Examination. His daily practice still did not stop.
Because as he said to Qi Yue, in his eyes, Qi Yue is not a powerful threat, just a small stumbling block on his way to become stronger.
He kicked off the stumbling block, his eyes always staring into the distance.
One month later.
Royal palace, inner hall.
Zhou Yuan walked into the palace. He looked at Zhou Qing behind the table and said, "Father, are you looking for me?"
Zhou Qing raised his head, smiled, and said, "How have you been practicing recently?"
"It's very good. We should be able to break through the seventh meridian soon." Zhou Yuan replied. During this month, he continued to cultivate day and night, and the seventh meridian was not far away.
Zhou Qing nodded happily. It seemed that the victory in the imperial examination did not make Zhou Yuan get carried away and relax his cultivation.
"Thanks to you this time, otherwise the Great Zhou Mansion would not be able to escape the influence of Prince Qi's Mansion." Thinking of the previous palace examination, Zhou Qing was still a little frightened and couldn't help but sigh.
"As a member of the Great Zhou Dynasty, I naturally have to contribute." Zhou Yuan said with a smile.
The smile on Zhou Qing's face became more and more gratified, and he said slowly: "This time, we have restrained Prince Qi's Palace from getting involved in the Great Zhou Palace, but I think they won't give up easily."
"Father, this Prince Qi's Mansion is a cancer for our Great Zhou. If we want to strengthen the Great Zhou, this cancer must be eliminated." Zhou Yuan said with a cold light in his eyes.
Zhou Qing nodded and said: "Of course I always want to get rid of Prince Qi's Mansion, but the current strength of Prince Qi's Mansion is not weaker than that of the royal family. If a war breaks out, both sides will suffer, unless..."
"Unless what?" Zhou Yuan was startled.
Zhou Qing said softly: "Unless the general can stand unswervingly on the side of the royal family and help us deal with Prince Qi's palace."
"General? Wei Canglan?" Zhou Yuan's heart moved, obviously he had heard of this name.
Zhou Qing nodded slightly and said: "In today's Great Zhou Dynasty, there are actually three strongest forces. One is our royal family, the second is Prince Qi's Mansion, and the third is the general, Wei Canglan."
"General Wei himself is also a strong man in Taichu Realm, and he also has a Canglan Army under his command, which is one of the three powerful armies of the Great Zhou Dynasty."
The other two groups, one is the Royal Imperial Guards, and the other is the Qi Wang Guards from the Qi Wang Mansion.
"Father, does General Wei have other intentions?" Zhou Yuan frowned.
Zhou Qing shook his head and said: "Even when I faced off against Da Wu, General Wei was still by my side, so he is not the kind of person who has different intentions. Speaking of which, in fact, I can't help him."
Speaking of this, Zhou Qing's face also looked a little sad.
"What's going on?" Zhou Yuan asked doubtfully.
Zhou Qing stood up and pointed to the map of the Great Zhou Dynasty hanging on the back wall. At the northwest border, there was an area called Canglan County. Outside of Canglan County, there was a black land, like a continuous abyss. big.
"Do you know this place?" Zhou Qing pointed at the continuous dark land on the map and said solemnly.
"This is... the Black Abyss?" Zhou Yuan's expression changed slightly. This Black Abyss is almost a famous ferocious place in the Great Zhou Dynasty. There are countless Origin Beasts in it, and they are extremely cruel. Therefore, no dynasty can occupy this area. This also led to the gathering of countless casual cultivators, forming many large and small forces among them.
These forces would invade the borders of the Zhou Dynasty from time to time, plunder and kill, and commit all kinds of evil.
"In the Black Abyss, the most powerful force is called Black Poison City, and its city owner is called Black Poison King. He is a strong man in the Taichu Realm with a fierce reputation." Zhou Qing said solemnly.
"Back then, the Black Poison King invaded my country and was blocked by General Wei, so the Black Poison King besieged Canglan County. Although the Black Poison King was finally driven back, General Wei fell into the Black Poison King's secret trick. Miasmic poison."
"Although this poison caused General Wei to suffer a lot, he was a strong man in the Taichu Realm after all and could suppress it. But no one expected that after that, General Wei's only son, Wei Bin, would actually be born. He was infected by poisonous gas when he was young, and he is still paralyzed in bed and tortured by poisonous gas."
"The only son was poisoned, and General Wei was extremely angry. His hatred for the Black Poison King was overwhelming. From then on, he never left Canglan County. He regarded the Black Poison King as a thorn in his side and a thorn in his flesh. He always wanted revenge. .”
"So, over the years, General Wei has been guarding Canglan County and no longer cares about the situation of the Zhou Dynasty."
Speaking of this, Zhou Qing's voice also became much deeper: "I know, this is because General Wei is blaming me. I originally asked him to hold back the Black Poison King, and I led the army to help him encircle and suppress him, but who would have expected At that time, the King of Qi took action and blocked the journey, so when I arrived with my army, General Wei had already been infected by the "miasma poison"."
"So, I am also responsible for General Wei's only son becoming like this."
After listening to Zhou Qing's words, Zhou Yuan suddenly realized that there was such a story in it. It seems that General Wei had some grudges against his father because of this. In addition, the royal family no longer had the majesty, so he stayed in Canglan County.
After all, if the royal family were still as tyrannical as before, Wei Canglan would not dare to do such a thing.
Wei Bin's experience was similar to his, but the only difference was that the Resentful Dragon Poison in him was many times more powerful than the Miasma Demonic Poison.
In this way, General Wei is a neutral faction. He neither pays attention to Prince Qi's Mansion nor accepts the royal family's orders. No wonder his father said that whichever side Wei Canglan stands on, that side will gain an absolute advantage.
"As far as I know, Qi Yuan's eldest son Qi Hao went to Canglan County and joined General Wei's command after graduating from Dazhou Mansion. It is said that he is now well-known in Canglan County. Obviously, that Qi Yuan plans to use this method to get close to General Wei so that he can surrender to Prince Qi's palace." Zhou Qing said slowly.
Zhou Yuan's eyes flashed. If Wei Canglan really chooses to help Prince Qi, then their royal family is really in danger of overthrowing.
"But you don't have to worry too much. I know General Wei very well. He will never side with Prince Qi's Mansion to deal with Da Zhou." Zhou Qing said.
Zhou Yuan said slowly: "But he will not help the royal family deal with Prince Qi's Mansion."
Zhou Qing hesitated slightly and nodded with a wry smile.
Zhou Yuan sighed softly. Nowadays, their Great Zhou Dynasty is really in a precarious situation, with crises everywhere. His victory in the Great Zhou Mansion can only slightly dampen the arrogance of the Prince of Qi Mansion. If this cancer is not eliminated, the Great Zhou Dynasty will not be able to survive for a day. peaceful.
"I've called you here this time because I have something to tell you." Zhou Qing said with a solemn expression.
"What's the matter?" Zhou Yuan couldn't help but ask after seeing Zhou Qing's expression.
Zhou Qing stared at the area of the Black Abyss on the map and said slowly: "Some time ago, I received some news that someone discovered a ruins in the Black Abyss."
"Relics?" Zhou Yuan was startled. The black abyss was so vast that it should be normal for some ruins to appear.
Zhou Qing's eyes became much hotter at this time, and he whispered softly: "Someone found a strange plant in the ruins. It is as red as fire and grows by absorbing sunlight. Its seeds are like fire crystals. .”
"What is that?" Zhou Yuan was confused.
Zhou Qing said: "If I guessed correctly, this should be the Fire Spirit Spike, a fourth-grade source food!"
"Fourth-grade source food?!" After hearing this, Zhou Yuan was finally moved. You must know that the "Xuanjing Rice" unique to their royal family is only a second-grade source food, but even so, it opened his eyes. It has been of great use and has attracted many talents.
As for the role of the fourth-grade source food, it is probably even more difficult to imagine. Only the Great Zhou Dynasty had the fourth-grade source food "blood dragon barley" during its peak period.
If the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty can possess the "Fire Spirit Spike", then the strength of the Great Zhou Dynasty will also increase accordingly, and it will even be enough to pose a threat to Dawu again in the future.
This is a real strategic material that plays a vital role for a dynasty.
Therefore, when he heard about the fourth-grade source food, Zhou Yuan finally understood why Zhou Qing looked so excited.
"This Fire Spirit Spike must fall into the hands of our Great Zhou royal family." Zhou Yuan said.
It is unimaginable that if this thing falls into the hands of Prince Qi's Mansion, the strength of Prince Qi's Mansion will inevitably grow rapidly in the next few years, even surpassing that of the Zhou royal family.
Zhou Qing nodded. He glanced at Zhou Yuan and said again: "In addition to this "Fire Spirit Spike", it seems that there is a large jade-like tree in the ruins. The big tree has jade fruits, like Like a baby.”
Zhou Qing stared at Zhou Yuan and said slowly: "This is the 'Jade Infant Fruit', which can increase longevity."
boom!
Zhou Yuan's head instantly felt like it was exploding, his breathing became heavier, and his eyes were red. His mother once lost her life to save him, and now her life span is less than ten years. This has always been a root in Zhou Yuan's heart. Thorn, he tried every means to extend his mother's life.
But the treasures of heaven and earth that can increase longevity are so rare. Even if their royal family tried their best to search for them, there was no news about them. However, Zhou Yuan never expected that there would be some news today.
Zhou Yuan licked his mouth, looked at Zhou Qing with firm eyes, and said word by word: "We must have this Jade Infant Fruit!" (To be continued)
