Dominate Marvel

Chapter 36 Dushan

Now Zhao Yu has just taken the first step.

The soul has given birth to spiritual consciousness and displayed some extraordinary abilities.

At least, he could feel relieved.

When I first came here earlier, I didn’t have the ability to look forward to my luck.

Looking at Cao Mengde, there is surging green air on the top, and there is a faint purple air rising into the sky, making the shape of a dragon.

Others, such as Cheng Yu, Dian Wei, etc., have mostly red Qi, and are slightly bred with green Qi.

There are only four colors of human Qi, and most ordinary people, ordinary people, are white. Those whose Qi is red are all outstanding people, and there is no one in the world. Only when an outstanding person shows his ability in humanity and plays a role in promoting humanity can he become green. As for the purple qi, it is the qi of the human king.

Cao Mengde has the image of a human king, but he is not yet a human king, so the green energy breeds the purple energy. Dian Wei, Cheng Yu, etc. are all outstanding people. In this era of great strife, they have stepped onto the stage of humanity. Their achievements have not yet been completed, so their red energy breeds green energy.

When he looked after Guan Hai and others, their Qi was chaotic in color, neither white nor black. Zhao Yu knew that this was because these people were accepted by him as followers and were related to him, a person in the immortal way, and their Qi was no longer pure.

Zhao Yu's own aura was azure, which was quite different from the surging pure azure aura on top of Cao Mengde and the azure aura bred by red auras such as Cheng Yu Dianwei's.

However, when he is in the human realm and has perfected the human realm, his own energy has gradually evolved towards pure green energy. He will not change again until his human realm is perfected, that is pure green, and then he completes the human realm and escapes from the human realm.

If Zhao Yu wanted to become the king and worked hard for it, he could also breed purple energy, but he didn't have that intention.

After leaving Liang Fu, Zhao Yu, Guan Hai, Guan Ming and more than 20 people went straight to Mount Tai. In a Taoist temple on Mount Tai, they met the saint of Taiping Road.

The saint is called Zhang Ling.

Zhang Lingnian was only twenty. She was not a descendant of Zhang Jiao's three brothers, but Zhang Jiao's adopted daughter. His appearance is ordinary, his aura is indifferent, except for his pair of eyes, which are clear and bright.

When he heard that the Yellow Turbans had all surrendered, Zhang Ling just nodded, as if it had nothing to do with her.

She was more concerned about the dozens of children in the Taoist temple.

These are all her own adopted children.

Zhao Yu said that he wanted her to accompany him from now on, and Zhang Ling nodded lightly.

Then Guan Hai, Zhang Ling and others were asked to take these children to Liangfu and hand them over to Cao Mengde for placement, and then let them return to Puyang on their own. As for Zhao Yu, he went down to Mount Tai alone and headed west to Nanyang.

Zhao Yu is going to Nanyang, and the purpose is jade.

If Cao Mengde had not asked Dian Wei to return to Puyang to find him before, maybe Zhao Yu would have gone to Nanyang.

Although Zhao Yu has the Chaos Bead Small World to cultivate medicinal materials, there are also some means in the other courtyard. Arranging the formation is imperative. After studying for a period of time, Zhao Yu discovered that jade, a material that can absorb the energy of heaven and earth, is still needed to refine the formation base talisman.

At least until a replacement is found, or until one's cultivation reaches a certain level, jade is probably indispensable.

There are many jade producing places, but in this era, there are probably two places that are more famous for their jade, one is Guanzhong Lantian Jade and the other is Nanyang Dushan Jade. As for Hetian jade from the Western Regions or Xiu jade from Youzhou, they are not considered for the time being.

Guanzhong is still under the influence of Xiliang and is further away, so Nanyang is the first choice.

Zhao Yu planned to go to Nanyang to collect some pure jade and store it for later use.

As for letting Cao Mengde collect it, that is also possible. However, Zhao Yu is very quiet and restless. He has been living in Puyang for more than two years, so it would be good to go out for a walk.

Zhao Yu was happy and at ease riding alone.

Going southwest, passing through Yanzhou, it was quite peaceful. Although Cao Mengde was still recruiting the Yellow Turbans, he did not put Yanzhou's government affairs aside. Even in the army, Cao Mengde had to deal with government affairs reported by fast horses every day and could not fall asleep until midnight.

Liu Bei's success lies in his persistence in not getting discouraged after repeated defeats.

And Cao Mengde is not inferior to Liu Bei. In this world, those who can achieve great things must not only have extraordinary talents, but also must have perseverance.

Cao Mengde has both.

Zhao Yu did not pass through Dongjun, but walked southwest from Lu State, Shanyang, Jiyin, and entered Yingchuan County in Yuzhou.

Yingchuan is probably within Yuan Shu's sphere of influence now.

In other words, Yuzhou is still under Yuan Shu's general control.

Yuan Shu's basic base is Runan, which is also the hometown of the Yuan family. Before the crusade against Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shu originally coveted Jingzhou, so he sent Sun Jian all the way south to kill Wang Rui, the governor of Jingzhou, and then Zhang Zi, the prefect of Nanyang. However, the Jingzhou family resisted and Yuan Shu could not succeed.

Moreover, Dong Zhuo reacted very quickly. As soon as Wang Rui died, he immediately sent Liu Biao to Jingzhou. Liu Biao rode alone, and with the support of aristocratic families, he quickly secured Jingzhou, leaving Yuan Shu helpless.

With the support of Yuan Shu, Sun Jian fought against Dong Zhuo and even reached the hinterland of Luoyang. While cleaning up the ruins of Luoyang, I got the imperial seal. After Sun Jian withdrew, Yuan Shu asked him to attack Jingzhou again. Just last year, in 191, Sun Jian died at the hands of Huang Zu.

After Sun Jian's death, his son Sun Ce took the remnants of his army and still worked under Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu now has his sights set on Yangzhou. On the political level, he is fighting fiercely with Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao appointed a Yangzhou governor, but Yuan Shu sent someone to kill him and appointed one himself. Now the administrative office has been moved to Shouchun.

Therefore, Yuzhou is probably within Yuan Shu's sphere of influence, but in fact, his control is not strong.

While Yuan Shu was fighting Yuan Shao, he was eyeing Yangzhou and coveting Jingzhou at the same time. He was very busy.

Yingchuan was in chaos for a while when the princes were attacking Dong. It's a little peaceful now. After all, there are many aristocratic families here, such as the Yingyin Xun family, the Guo family and the Chen family, all based in Yingchuan. As long as there are no powerful princes to interfere, some thieves and bandits will not dare to mess around in Yingchuan.

Zhao Yu stayed in Yangzhai, the Yingchuan administrative office, for two days.

He still remembered that Guo Jia seemed to be from Yangdi.

But think about it, Guo Jia should be in Jizhou like Xun Yu at this time. Yuan Shao has captured Jizhou, and both of them are working under Yuan Shao. Speaking of Jizhou, we should also talk about Han Fu, the former shepherd of Jizhou. It’s also extremely frustrating. He lost Jizhou to Yuan Shao and was afraid that Yuan Shao would harm him, so he went south to join Chen Liu and Zhang Miao. Yuan Shao sent envoys to discuss an alliance with Zhang Miao to resist Yuan Shu. When Han Fu learned about it, he thought it was Yuan Shao who sent people to kill him. Out of fear, Han Fu hid in the toilet and committed suicide.

Thinking that the people who could interest Zhao Yu were not here now, Zhao Yu lost interest. After wandering around Yangzhai for two days, he heard some news and went to Nanyang.

Here in Yingchuan, because of the rich family, the news is very well-informed.

Only then did Zhao Yu learn that Dong Zhuo was dead.

Looking back, it's true. Dong Zhuo is indeed worthy of death.

Then I thought that it wouldn't be long before Guanzhong would be in chaos, or it might already be in chaos.

After all, there are not many descriptions in the history books in terms of details.

It's just that Situ and Shangshu ordered Wang Yun to conspire with the ministers of the court, and linked up with Lu Bu, Li Su and others to kill Dong Zhuo and regain control of the government. But that's all false. Lu Bu had few soldiers, but although Dong Zhuo died, there were still soldiers and horses from all directions. Li Jue, Guo Bin and other border generals, with more than 100,000 elite Xiliang troops under their command, how could Lu Bu resist them?

What's more, there's Jia Xu among them?

With these thoughts in mind, Zhao Yu has arrived in Nanyang.

Nanyang is the northernmost county in Jingzhou, and it is the largest county in the world. It is the place where Guangwu and Liu Xiu started, the iron and steel center of the Han family, and a first-class county in the world. Before the Yellow Turban, the people here were prosperous. When the Yellow Turbans broke out, the Yellow Turbans in Nanyang were so powerful that God sent Zhang Mancheng to almost attack Wancheng. After the defeat of the Yellow Turbans, Nanyang declined. Now Liu Biao is in charge of Jingzhou, and his focus is no longer in Nanyang.

The reason lies in Yuan Shu.

When Yuan Shu attacked Dong Zhuo, he was in Nanyang. Although he had already moved to Shouchun, Jiujiang County, Yangzhou, in order not to irritate Yuan Shu, Liu Biao only sent a small official to look after Nanyang, leaving a major county in the world deserted.

Cao Mengde commented that Liu Biao was a household dog, which meant that Liu Biao was afraid of war.

We can only defend territory, but cannot open up frontiers.

It's not Liu Biao's fault. Liu Biao himself was a scholar. He had just entered Jingzhou and had just established himself. Even if he had a fierce battle with Sun Jian, he didn't want to directly confront Yuan Shu.

What's more, in Guanzhong to the north of Nanyang, there is a vicious Xiliang warlord eyeing him. Even Wuguan is in the hands of the Xiliang army, and they can leave the pass to attack Nanyang at any time, so Nanyang is really a dangerous place.

So Liu Biao simply focused on the south of the Han River, using the Han River as the natural moat and Xiangyang as the center to temporarily stabilize the situation.

When Zhao Yu arrived in Nanyang, he saw ruins and depression.

Liu Biao doesn't care now, and Yuan Shu was not a political person when he took over. Nanyang is caught between the two, how can one get a good one?

However, in troubled times, this is just a matter of course. After watching too much, Zhao Yu became a little numb. He couldn't control it, so he could only wait for Cao Mengde to conquer Nanyang and then take good care of it. And the purpose of his coming here is Dushan Jade.

Dushan is more than ten miles north of Wancheng. Zhao Yu asked all the way to the foot of Dushan.

There is a village here, hidden in the dense forests in the mountains, like a peach garden, showing a different kind of peace.

Zhao Yu planned to go into the village and ask again.

Several local children were playing at the entrance of the village. Seeing the stranger Zhao Yu arriving, they were not afraid of him. A teenage boy stepped forward and asked, "May I ask who the elder is and what he is doing in our village?"

Zhao Yu was slightly surprised, thinking that this child was really polite, and said with a smile: "My name is Zhao Yu, and I would like to ask, is this Dushan where you are?"

The child said: "My name is Han Shu. This is Dushan."

The child Han Shu turned around and pointed at the mountain behind the village and said, "What are you doing with Dushan, sir?"

"I want to collect some Dushan jade." Zhao Yu said with a smile.

He looked at the child and then at the small village, feeling in his heart that this village might not be a village for ordinary people. There are probably not many teenage children in ordinary people's families who can compare with the child in front of me.

"oh."

Han Shu's young face showed a look of surprise: "It turns out that the elder is here for Dushan Jade."

Then he showed a look of pity: "I heard from my grandfather that there was mining in the past, but it seems that it is gone now."

Zhao Yu nodded in understanding.

In these troubled times, who still has the heart to exploit luxury goods?

What's more, Nanyang has always been unstable. The government describes it, but the people don't have the conditions.
