Dragon's Origin

Chapter 577: The True Land of Inheritance (Part 2)

When he first heard the words "very obviously", the old Taoist was quite happy. But when he heard the words "is not" afterward, the old Taoist's smile immediately froze on his face.

"What do you mean by 'is not'?" The old Taoist asked Wang Sheng very impolitely.

"Uh, just the literal meaning." Wang Sheng replied nonchalantly, "Old Taoist, you've known me for so long, when have I ever played any mysterious games with you?"

"Not an inheritance formation, then why did you take us so far to investigate?" The old Taoist was really speechless. Such a big thing happened, so many people died, even Tongming lost his position as the head teacher, and now he probably can't even save his life. And all because of this "is not" place that Wang Sheng mentioned?

"If we didn't investigate, how would we know it's not?" Wang Sheng said with a completely justified look, looking at Lingxu Old Taoist as if he were an idiot.

"If Tongming knew this result, he would probably cry." The old Taoist suddenly laughed. The more he thought about it, the funnier it became, and he couldn't help laughing out loud.

Wang Sheng was also influenced by Lingxu Old Taoist and laughed loudly. The Taoists not far away didn't dare to come up and ask why the two ancestral figures were laughing so wildly, and could only watch them laugh like madmen.

The old Taoist was really laughing so hard that he was about to cry. At this moment, he really wanted to know what Tongming's expression would be when he heard this news.

Seeing that there was nothing for them to do here, the old Taoist patted Wang Sheng's shoulder, and the two casually greeted one of the old Taoists present, saying they were going back to the Old Lord Temple to clean up. Which old Taoist present dared to stop them? Watching the two leisurely head straight for the Old Lord Temple.

The Grand Master, as well as several head teachers, didn't take it seriously when they heard the report from that old Taoist. However, when they heard Wang Sheng's instructions before leaving, everyone frowned.

"Did the Elder really say that?" The Grand Master asked the reporting old Taoist very seriously.

"It's so simple, I shouldn't have misreported it!" The old Taoist who came to report was also of the Qing generation, with a higher seniority than the Grand Master, and his jokes were a bit casual, "The Elder really said that, I can swear in the name of the Old Lord."

"Do as the Elder says." The Grand Master nodded, but his mind drifted elsewhere with Wang Sheng's words.

The other head teachers also had thoughtful expressions, and everyone was wondering if they had missed something.

"Why did you remind them to guard the Taoist temples that protect the land of inheritance?" On the way back, with only Wang Sheng and Lingxu Old Taoist, the old Taoist asked Wang Sheng curiously.

"Shouldn't I?" Wang Sheng asked back, "At least they are passed down in the ancestral records of each family, and there really are formations inside that can be opened with keys, shouldn't they be well guarded?"

"If you say it like that, then it should be." The old Taoist was speechless again, and then immediately asked, "But isn't your instruction a bit too formal and grand?"

"Really?" Wang Sheng directly retorted, "I just randomly grabbed an old Taoist and said it, does that count as formal and grand?"

"Speak!" The old Taoist ignored Wang Sheng's feigned ignorance, "Did you discover something inside?"

"Not yet." Wang Sheng shook his head, and before Lingxu Old Taoist could continue to press, Wang Sheng directly started to answer, "However, since your personally transcribed classics record it that way, and if the records of the other families can also be used, then there must be something inside that we haven't discovered. Before, I was just unhappy with Tongming's way of doing things, now that he's gone, naturally we have to study it carefully."

"So, what you said about the earth fire veins, hot springs, and everything else, were all to divert attention?" Lingxu Old Taoist asked with a bit of dissatisfaction.

"Not really." Wang Sheng shook his head, "To find the inheritance formation, you do need to find the source of these formation energies."

Seeing that the old Taoist seemed a little dissatisfied, Wang Sheng smiled and explained to the old Taoist, "Don't worry! Old Taoist, I am more eager than anyone to find the inheritance formation. Mei'er's matter can't be delayed any longer."

Hearing Wang Sheng's words, Lingxu Old Taoist was slightly satisfied. This was the truth. From the starting point, Wang Sheng was still the initiator of opening the land of inheritance, and it was still to help Wang Sheng solve Mei'er's problem. As for the Grand Master and others taking advantage of the situation, it was not so important to Wang Sheng.

Tongming's matter caused a great commotion, after all, it concerned the merger of a Taoist sect into the Old Lord Temple. Therefore, it spread not only throughout the Taoist sect, but also to the various feudal lords.

Within two days, the news spread rapidly throughout the world. The royal family didn't say a word and directly sent officials to express their condolences to the Old Lord Temple, and of course, to take a look at the scene.

The ground was covered with minced meat and broken bones, half a corpse of a flying demon beast, and the complete corpses of nine flying demon beasts. Everything indicated that the Mountain Yue Kingdom had really set its sights on the Taoist sect, and its black hand had reached into the Taoist sect.

As soon as the news spread, the rulers of the Xia and Qiu kingdoms were even happier. The Mountain Yue Kingdom was crazy, provoking the Tang Kingdom, and even provoking the Taoist sect? Could ordinary people provoke the Taoist sect? Just one Old Lord Temple could make all the feudal lords in the world tremble with fear. If the entire Taoist sect united, the Mountain Yue Kingdom was indeed courting death, and it seemed to think it wasn't dying fast enough.

Of course, it was even more important to analyze the things involved behind the Mountain Yue Kingdom. The Xia, Qiu, and Tang families all knew that the Dai family probably had some connection with the Mountain Yue Kingdom. Now that the Mountain Yue Kingdom was also involved with a Taoist sect, what other connections were there? It was simply unimaginable!

However, it was always good news. The Mountain Yue Kingdom couldn't possibly have an endless supply of flying demon beasts. Now that they had lost ten more, the speed and efficiency with which the Mountain Yue Kingdom transferred experts would inevitably be affected in the future, and the moment for a counterattack was getting closer and closer.

Wang Sheng and the old Taoist ignored these external storms and quietly did what they were supposed to do in the Old Lord Temple, quietly waiting for the storm to calm down.

"What made you judge that the inheritance formation was not under the hot spring pool?" Back at the Old Lord Temple, after a careful cleaning, the old Taoist and Wang Sheng were comfortably drinking and chatting in the Sutra Depository when the old Taoist finally asked the question he had been wanting to ask.

"Because of the direction." Wang Sheng had nothing to hide from the old Taoist, "The location of that valley is completely opposite to the direction of the passage to the land of inheritance."

"Just because of that?" The old Taoist asked, not understanding.

"Isn't that enough?" Wang Sheng laughed, "Old Taoist, do you think the Taoist patriarchs were idle and had nothing to do, so they created a land of inheritance, dug such a long underground passage, and then played with you later disciples? Where do you think the real land of inheritance could be?"
