Ten days later, a team of carriages slowly drove into Yingdu.

At this time, Zou Yan was sitting in the carriage, and through the curtain of the car, he saw that people outside the car were coming and going. On both sides of the street in the distance, all kinds of goods are being sold, and the sound of bargaining and shouting is endless.

After the carriage passed through two streets, Zou Yan withdrew his gaze from the outside of the car and sighed: "The prosperity of the Yingdu of Chu State does not have to be in Linzi!" ”

After some time, the carriage stopped in front of a shop, and then a voice came from outside the car: "Sir, the place where the five-colored stones are sold has arrived." ”

"Good!" When Zou Yan heard this, he got off the carriage with a slightly excited expression.

This time, he came to the Chu State, in addition to spreading his doctrine, the most important purpose was to see the five-color stones of the Chu State.

He was originally a native of Linzi in Qi State, and he had already entered the Jixia School Palace to study when he was young.

Although the Jixia School Palace is eclectic, and various doctrines are not rejected, the root of it is still based on Taoist doctrine, which is the base camp of the Taoist Huang Lao School.

Therefore, he was deeply influenced by Taoism, and since he was a child, he has been obsessed with Taoist learning, especially the Five Elements of Heaven and Earth.

In the Jixia Academy, he saw that those princes were constantly evolving and developing Taoist doctrines, which also gave him the idea of creating his own doctrine to explain the truth of the world and explore the nature of all things in heaven and earth.

Until two years ago, the great god of Chu respected Nuwa as the Black Emperor, and so far, the five emperors are tied and correspond to the five elements one by one.

This incident instantly opened Zou Yan's train of thought, so Zou Yan studied painstakingly for another year, and finally founded the Five Virtues Theory.

As soon as this doctrine was announced, it immediately caused a sensation in the Jixia School Palace.

Wude said at the end, not only from the perspective of the Avenue of Heaven and Earth to explain the reasons for the previous change of dynasty, but also to provide a theoretical basis for countries to replace the Zhou family in the future, and in the future, countries will replace the Zhou family, will no longer betray the Zhou family, but conform to the Avenue of Heaven and Earth.

In particular, the five virtues incarnated the five emperors, so that the gods who were convinced in the hearts of the people of the world endorsed the five virtues, and this doctrine was covered with mystery. And let many people who believed in the Five Emperors become believers in this doctrine.

Although after the announcement of the Five Virtues, he was attacked by some people because of the roughness and flaws of the theory, but Zou Yan still received the King of Qi Xuan, and was appointed as the gentleman of the Jixia School Palace, enjoying the treatment of the princes.

And he, Zou Yan, also became the youngest son of the Jixia School Palace.

Originally, he received the courtesy of King Xuan of Qi out of gratitude, and wanted to study further and find a convincing explanation for the replacement of the Zhou family by the state of Qi, so as to disparage those who said that the state of Chu had obtained the virtue of water.

But what he didn't expect was that not long after he started to specialize, King Qi Xuan died, and the newly enthroned Qi Wangdi was very displeased with his doctrine of controlling man by heaven.

Originally, if Qi Wangdi just didn't like his doctrine, he would have endured it. However, later, Qi Wangdi actually said that his doctrine was deceitful and fooled the people, which made him unbearable.

The five elements of heaven and earth are the foundation of all things, how can this be said to be retreat. The legend of the Five Emperors is widely known, and it is second only to heaven and earth, how can this be false.

Advocating the gods, making the people believe in the gods, placing the people in the gods, and then letting the gods restrain the king, making the king fearful, and then not daring to do something, this is the foundation of his governance, how can this fool the people.

Ever since he heard Qi Wangdi's words, he knew that Qi Wangdi was not the same person as him.

Moreover, his doctrine was so questioned by Qi Wangdi that he had no face to continue to accept Qi Guo's Yulu.

So, he left the Jixia School Palace and came to the Chu State.

The reason why I came to Chu State, in addition to the Black Emperor, is more important because of the five-color stone that appeared in Chu State.

The legend of Nuwa refining stones to make up for the sky is well known to everyone, and the appearance of the five-color stone not only proves to the world that the legend of Nuwa is true, but also proves to the world that the Five Emperors are also true.

In this way, it also proves that his doctrine is based on the truth, and not on a set of illusory doctrines built on false emptiness, and no one can prove it.

If you believe it, you will have it, and if you don't believe it, this is not the doctrine he wants, but the doctrine he wants is convincing to everyone.

This five-colored stone, which can accommodate the five elements to complement the whole heaven and earth, is the practical basis of the doctrine.

So he came, and after coming to the Yingdu of Chu State, he went straight to the place where the five-color stone was sold.

He knew about the sale of five-color stones in the Chu State, but because of the restrictions on five-color stones in various countries, many people did not dare to wear them openly even if they had five-color stones.

Moreover, most of the five-color stones that have been spread to various countries are two-color and one-colored, not to mention the rumored five-color stones used to mend the sky, even the four-color stones, he has never seen one.

It's just that at this time, when he looked at the five-colored stone in the store, he immediately frowned.

There are one-color stones and two-color three-color stones in this shop, but there are no four-color ones, let alone five-color ones.

At this time, the person in charge of the store came to Zou Yan's side: "Mr. is buying five-color stones." ”

Zou Yan nodded, and then as if unintentionally, he asked, "Dare to ask Your Excellency, are there only these three five-color stones in this store?" There can be four-color stones, or five-color stones. ”

The shopkeeper said with a smile: "Mr. said that it was a miracle, the five-colored stone is a divine object, and it is an artifact that is difficult for me to refine with the power of the whole country, how can it be placed here." If Mr. wants to see the five-color stone, then he can only ask to see the king, because the five-color stone of Chu State, in addition to the king wearing a piece, only the temple of Chu State and the temple of the Black Emperor each enshrine a piece.

In particular, the fast enshrined in the temple is transformed by the five virtues of the divine phoenix, which is a real artifact and the most precious. The second is the one in the Black Emperor Temple, which is bigger and more precious than the one worn by the king! ”

When Zou Yan heard this, he immediately yearned for the five-color stone in the temple of Chu Guozong, if he could see the five-color stone, then he would have no regrets even if he died.

Phew··· Phew···

How could he have such blasphemous thoughts!

Zou Yan secretly scolded himself, and then asked expectantly: "Then there are four-color stones here." ”

He himself knew the preciousness of the five-color stone, and he didn't expect to see the five-color stone here, his purpose was the four-color stone.

The shopkeeper still shook his head and replied: "Don't hide it, sir, the four-color stone is a treasure used by the king to reward, and now the only people who can get the king's reward are the prince, Ling Yin Zhaoju, and the queen who has returned to heaven, Sikong Zhaoyu, Ling Yin Jingli, Ling Yin Jingcui and other dignitaries." As for others with a slightly inferior status, even if they have made meritorious deeds, they are only rewarded with tricolor stones.

Therefore, the four-color stone is precious, and it will not be sold here. ”

Zou Yan heard this, and then under the guidance of the shopkeeper, he came to the place where the three-color stone was placed.

It's just that when he looked at those three-color stones that started at least two hundred gold, his whole body suddenly stiffened.

He originally thought that the tricolor stone would be cheaper in the Chu State, and it would not be like the Qi State, which would easily cost hundreds of gold, but he never expected that although the tricolor stone was cheap in the Chu State, it was not cheaper.

He couldn't afford it in the Qi State, and he couldn't afford it in the Chu State either...
