Lord of Deception

The small town in the Great Earthquake indeed seemed far less prosperous than Daqian.

At this time, it is the southeast where the earthquake is the warmest. It is actually winter, let alone the inland areas and the southwest near the Hengduan Mountains.

The small town looked a bit desolate, with not many people on the streets. Only at the city gate could one see carts pulled by strange beasts.

Some tall and thick men, steaming from their bodies, wearing animal skin waistcoats, came in and out shouting.

Yu Ziqing could also sense that there were some unstable fluctuations in the big cars.

Those are some ores that have just been mined. They have not undergone preliminary processing and are not very stable.

In general mines, it is unlikely that only one kind of ore will be produced. All kinds of ores are mixed, and in many cases, various kinds of spiritual jade with low purity will be mixed.

The ingredients are too complex and unstable, so they can only be transported like this.

If it is placed in a place like a storage ring, if it accumulates too much, it may explode.

Generally, preliminary sorting, smelting, quenching, etc. are completed nearby.

When these are completed, some raw materials will be circulated on the market.

If the composite materials are more advanced, they are basically refined in small batches by the weapon refiner himself.

After all, there is actually a slight difference between each piece of material.

It doesn't matter if you use a low-level magic weapon, but if you use it on a high-level magic weapon or formation base, the slightest difference will have a huge impact in the end.

A 1% drop for 100 million and a 1% drop for 100 million are completely different results.

As for the big project needed now, the construction of a super-large spirit transformation array. Daquake has reserved one, and Dadui has planned three.

It requires a lot of resources, and a big project is actually not the most important thing.

Therefore, the derived industrial chain is the most helpful thing in dealing with major earthquakes.

Even if this big project ends, Daquan will have new support and can continue to work on other projects.

After all, there are actually many minerals produced by the earthquake, and there are also many unique ones, and after the four seasons in the north become like winter, a lot of unique materials will actually be produced.

Dadai has given a big project, and there is no need to pay upfront. Let Dazhen complete the transformation, which will avoid the chaotic period in the middle.

Yu Ziqing only saw the tip of the iceberg here and the bustling crowd at the city gate, and he probably knew that everything was going smoothly.

Maybe the preliminary preparation work and preliminary construction can begin.

He guessed that Emperor Zhen wanted to see him this time not only to thank him in person, but also to talk about the super large spirit formation.

In a restaurant in a small town, Zhenhuang rolled up his sleeves and worked in the kitchen himself.

He didn't take anyone else with him, he just stayed alone, gave the restaurant a sum of money and borrowed a kitchen.

When Prince Xiang arrived with Yu Ziqing, he saw Emperor Zhen striding over with a large plate in one hand and a wine jar in the other.

"Here you go, take a seat first, there are still two dishes left, they will be ready soon. I haven't cooked for a long time, but fortunately my skills are not old yet."

Zhenhuang greeted him with a smile and was not so polite.

After a while, Emperor Zhen walked into the box carrying the last dish and soup, and glanced at Prince Xiang.

King Xiang saw that look and said immediately.

"Second uncle, you talk to my brother-in-law. I'll go outside and keep an eye on you. No one will disturb you."

After King Xiang finished speaking, he immediately ran away and actually went to guard outside the restaurant.

After Emperor Zhen sat down, he opened the mud seal, and a refreshing aroma of wine emerged, along with a strange scent of tea.

"I know that you like to drink tea but not alcohol. This jar of wine is brewed from the fruits of the Enlightenment Tea that was produced for the first time. The tea has a mellow aroma and the wine aroma is not strong. It is quite suitable for relieving tiredness. ”

Emperor Zhen poured the wine himself, picked up the wine glass and said.

“Although it’s a bit vulgar, I still have to say thank you in person.

For what happened this time, and what happened before.

Thank you, Your Excellency. "

Emperor Zhen picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.

Yu Ziqing raised his glass to signal.

"You're welcome."

"Come and try my skills. When I was young, I was the one who was cooking with my elder brother.

Every time I secretly ate the raised spiritual beast, it was my elder brother who took the beating for me.

In fact, spiritual beasts are not tasty at all, they are too bland. It is just that they are rare that I always think about them.

I prefer beef raised by herdsmen.

This time I picked a cow myself, so let’s try it. "

Yu Ziqing tasted the plate of spicy stir-fried beef. It tasted really good. At least the ingredients were better than what Jin Lanshan could get.

"The taste is very good, and the ingredients are also very good. Let me mix it up later and let Wang Fugui handle it."

"Okay." Zhenhuang showed a smile and agreed.

"On my way here, I also saw the output of raw materials here. I wonder how the preparations are here?"

"Everything is going according to plan and we can start in the next two days."

"There's no need to wait any longer. The preliminary preparations can already begin. I'll go back and tell those people."

"The site has also been selected. You can come as long as you want. Whatever you need, we will provide it to those who can."

Emperor Zhen secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He really wanted to talk about the super large spirit formation, but unexpectedly Yu Ziqing started the conversation for him.

In just a few words, this big project was ignored, and everyone knew it by heart. The specific details would be handled by the people below, and the basic tone was set.

While eating and drinking, the two of them were in a tacit understanding. No one mentioned their identity, they just talked about other things.

Let’s talk about You Zhen, Gu Shitou who made a scene during the earthquake, and those young people who went to Jinlan Mountain to receive severe beatings.

Let’s talk about spiritual practice and physical training.

When the conversation was almost over and the topic expanded, Yu Ziqing asked.

"I wonder if you know the court law?"

Emperor Zhen's expression condensed and he nodded.

“I only learned about the existence of such a thing a few years ago, but I couldn’t find any more records.

I only know that this is the law of the divine dynasty, and it has been lost long ago due to the great earthquake. "

"Huh?" Yu Ziqing's expression changed: "When did you know?"

"Before Dadui returns, after the Spirit Transformation Formation is born."

"Then do you know the name of Da Zhen Chaofa?"

"Chaofa is not a name?" The moment Emperor Zhen asked, he understood that Chaofa was not a name.

"For example, the Great Qian Dynasty method and the Tianrong treasure method.

The biggest feature of this kind of magic is that there is no method with the same name. "

Emperor Zhen was thoughtful and pondered for a moment.

"In the records of the Great Earthquake, I have seen names of treasure arts, but there was no one with two arts, only three.

One is the treasure of mantra, the other is the treasure of annihilation, and the other is the treasure of caution.

There are quite detailed records of the magic of mantras, and they are available outside, but the method has been lost.

There are only a few words about the treasure of destroying life. It is said to be a treasure of great killing, which has also been lost.

There are very few records of Shen Zhi Bao Technique, just a few words. It is said that it is like a sealing technique.

Over the years, occasionally a lot of information about lost things has been unearthed.

This isn't normal, is it? "

"Yes." Yu Ziqing nodded, of course it was abnormal.

When Emperor Zhen heard this, he didn't ask any more questions and said directly.

"Okay, I will send someone to sort out the newly unearthed information later and send it to you."

"Thank you. If there are records from ancient times or before ancient times, if it is convenient, I can make a copy."

"What's the inconvenience? I'll send someone to deal with it later."

"Thank you."

"That's too polite of you. Come on, have a drink."

Yu Ziqing and Emperor Zhen were eating meat and drinking wine inside, while Prince Xiang squatted at the door of the restaurant and watched the northwest breeze.

After waiting for a long time, Emperor Zhen personally sent Yu Ziqing out.

"If I finish this period, I will also go out for a walk.

I haven’t seen my eldest brother for a long time, and it’s time to visit him.

I will also visit Dadui when the time comes, and I won’t be bothered by that time. "

"Welcome, it's time to say goodbye, someone will come to meet you next."

Yu Ziqing took out the flying boat, landed on the flying boat, and flew away.

After Yu Ziqing flew far away, Emperor Zhen glared at Prince Xiang.

"You didn't say you would send your uncle off as a gift?"

"ah……"

Prince Xiang was a little speechless, even his second uncle was talking about your brother-in-law.

“But on the way here, my brother-in-law told me to prepare for the foundation immediately.

The super large spirit transformation formation is the top priority. If it is set up, a major earthquake will not be as difficult as it is now.

And we also have to consider the matter of receiving and protecting the head of the hospital. "

Emperor Zhen sighed and waved his hand.

"Okay, go ahead and get ready. This is indeed the best thing for you to do."

King Xiang took the order and flew away directly.

When King Xiang flew away, Li Xingchen flew from outside the city and landed quietly next to King Zhen.

Emperor Zhen looked at the escaping light on the horizon and suddenly spoke.

"You say, what if I make Prince Xiang the crown prince?"

If it were anyone else, Li Xingchen might not dare to talk nonsense, but it was Prince Xiang, so he said it honestly.

"I'm afraid His Royal Highness Prince Xiang is unwilling..."

"Yeah, it's a pity..." Zhenhuang felt a little regretful.

As far as skills, handling government affairs, and ability to take charge of the divine dynasty were concerned, King Xiang was indeed lacking.

Before, even my own fiefdom was free-range.

Fortunately, King Xiang is not a greedy person. Otherwise, if the fief is so free and taxes are increased, it will be difficult for the people in the fief to survive.

However, if you have enough strength but lack of ability, you can make up for it elsewhere.

You Zhen is still here, and now all of his uncles have become Duihuang, plus Jinlan Mountain Forbidden Area, Hungry Ghost, and Hungry Ghost Company.

To be honest, no matter how capable a person is, he may not be able to do as much as Prince Xiang shamelessly calling him uncle twice.

Even if he didn't know his identity, King Xiang was a ninth-level strong man, so he honestly called him uncle, which made him look sincere.

Whether Emperor Zhen considered it from the standpoint of the emperor or for the sake of the great earthquake, he really had an idea and promoted King Xiang to the throne.

But obviously, this idea is just an idea. You Zhen will not agree to it, and neither will King Xiang.

He could only secretly say that it was a pity, and he would not force it.

"I asked you to pay attention to the young people in the clan before. How are you paying attention to them?"

Li Xingchen took out a golden book and presented it to Emperor Zhen.

"All the young people, including the new ones, are here and well documented."

Zhenhuang looked through them and selected thirty of them.

"Pay close attention to these.

There is no problem with his character, his talent is good, and he is determined.

Later he will be sent to Jinlan Mountain for training.

Tell them that after leaving this door, life or death will depend on them, and they deserve to die.

If there is any hesitation or fear, eliminate it immediately without forcing it.

There are also a dozen or so who are under a hundred years old and sent out for training.

They are not allowed to use their clan status outside, and other names and identities are prepared for them.

You don't have to worry about where they go or what they do, you don't have to interfere. "

Li Xingchen's heart tightened, knowing that the future prince might be one of these people.

However, if you let it go like this, many people will probably perish by then.

Li Xingchen wrote down everyone's names, knowing that next, he would probably have to write down everything they said and did.

Everything about these guys becomes a reference.

Li Xingchen took a look and found that many of the people on the list were descendants of Prince Xiang.

Moreover, there are people who have already practiced in Jinlan Mountain.

Li Xingchen remained silent, secretly guessing in his heart that the prince would eventually be born from the lineage of King Xiang. Your Majesty has made up his mind, and I am afraid there will be a lot of trouble in the future.

"After you go back, collect some records. All the newly unearthed information over the years, all the records about the ancient times, and the records before the ancient times, will be sorted out, and then sent to Jinlan Mountain."

Emperor Zhen warned Li Xingchen and turned to leave.

He did have an idea. If King Xiang could not establish him as the crown prince, then he should find one among King Xiang's direct descendants.

Take your time and look at it. Anyway, if there is something that is suitable in all aspects, then it is naturally the best.

Returning to the palace city, Emperor Zhen went to open a secret door alone and entered the underground.

In the huge underground palace below, countless streams of light are flying here.

There are also stone doors standing on the ground, stone walls, and mid-air.

Emperor Zhen chanted in a deep voice.

"Chafa."

The next moment, something like countless fireflies flew out and landed in front of one of the stone doors.

Emperor Zhen stretched out his hand and grabbed it, and the firefly turned into a key.

Opening the stone door, Emperor Zhen stepped into the stone door and disappeared.

…

Yu Ziqing took the flying boat and was not in a hurry to turn back. He crossed the Hengduan Mountains and looked to the west.

In his eyes, there is still the faint blue sky, but now it has no tendency to spread outwards, like a huge whirlpool, slowly rotating.

Yu Ziqing stared at the faint blue sky that covered at least tens of thousands of miles for a long time before turning around and leaving.

Other things can be left to others to take care of, but the super-large spirit transformation formation is not only about the earthquake, but also the great exchange in the future.

Yu Ziqing must pay attention to this thing personally, and may even get involved personally.

He wants to turn this thing into a new business card for Dadui or Jin Lanshan.

Sitting on the flying boat, Yu Ziqing took out a small table and wrote on it.

"How are those evil trackers doing? Did they find anything?"

Soon, after a few breaths, the traces on the small table formed writing.

“Traced some Xiao Xiami, the real leader, escaped.

The Riddler is not easy to keep a high profile in other divine dynasties.

Oh, Lao Song said, some entered Dali, some fled to the abyss, and some fled to Daqian.

He said that there must be local snakes to help.

Otherwise, it is impossible that Lao Song and I, together with the Riddler who was following us, would not be able to find traces of the evil spirits who fled to Daqian.

Lao Song asked if he needed to use some of his connections? "

"No, there are no evil monks in Dadui now, right?"

"Yes, from top to bottom in Dadui, there are still three places where they can only hide. As long as we use our strength, they can't even think of hiding."

"Okay, I understand, just let Lao Song continue to deal with it."

Lao Song finally escaped from Daqian, and Yu Ziqing didn't want him to be exposed rashly.

…

In the northwest of Daqian, at the border with Kuihou Kingdom, a group of evil monks crossed the boundary and entered Qianxi.

None of them flew high in the sky, but they used stone figurine horses to pull chariots, running all the way three feet above the ground.

Huddled in the chariot, even the breath will not leak out.

The space inside the chariot was not small, and a group of evil cultists were sitting there with sullen faces, and no one spoke.

They all couldn't believe it. This time they were chased by strong men from Kuihou country and escaped from Kuihou country.

One of the leaders among them was originally going to see the Lord of Kuihou.

Who would have thought that they would be killed by the Lord of Kuihou. Only then did they realize that the Lord of Kuihou was so powerful.

In just a few words, he said that one of the leaders had a grudge against the powerful person who was close to the leader of the Kuihou Kingdom. His blood relative was kidnapped and died by one of the leaders.

But they knew that the leader who went to see the leader of Kuihou Kingdom had never done anything harmful to human beings.

But as for the evil monks, they can't guarantee the specifics, and no one knows the real reason.

The Lord of Kuihou rarely fell out on matters outside of his core interests, so they could only acquiesce that someone had made a big mistake this time.

After the group sneaked into Ganxi, they separated in the wilderness.

"I can't go to Kuihou Kingdom recently. The strength of the leader of Kuihou Kingdom is unpredictable and very strange.

Dadui is too troublesome, so let’s start with Qianxi.

Everything went according to plan.

Remember, we will follow Heaven and one day, the evil path will become the right path! "

Each of the evil cultivators, with fanaticism in their eyes and firm will, chose a direction to leave.

A few days later.

In Qianxi, near the border of Datui, there was an evil monk driving a stone figurine chariot, flying close to the ground.

There are not many people here, and almost all the mortals and natural villages in the border areas have moved to Dadui.

As the carriages flew past, nothing seemed to have changed.

But after nightfall, a small green snake emerged from the hole, raised its head towards the bright moon, and absorbed the moonlight.

The next moment, the power of the little green snake was seen to be slightly chaotic. In an instant, the power was out of control and it died suddenly.

The third day.

In the north of Qianxi, a young monk finished his busy day and practiced quietly for only half an hour when his complexion began to change.

His face turned green and white, and the power within him became violent, as if it was out of control.

In just one stick of incense, he opened his mouth and spurted out a mouthful of blood. His whole body instantly succumbed and fell to the ground, his face was like gold paper, and his eyes were filled with fear and confusion.

On the seventh day, a small town in Ganxi.

A group of young children with talent for Qi refining were recruited from the surrounding area and gathered into a small courtyard.

This is an opportunity given by the local city lord to the people below. Talented children will be given the resources and teachings for their early training.

Today is the day when these young children will be admitted to the hospital and officially start their practice.

The teacher taught him personally, and soon, some of the more talented and intelligent children absorbed the first ray of spiritual energy.

When the first ray of spiritual energy was refined and turned into the first ray of power, a chaotic wave suddenly appeared on the young child's body, and the energy immediately dissipated.

Originally I didn’t take teaching seriously, but beginners do.

However, at the end of the day, the second day, and even the third day, all the children who successfully absorbed the first ray of spiritual energy had the same result.

No matter how stupid you are, you know that something is wrong.
