Chapter Sixty-Eight: The Great Zhou Storm Leads to Speculation
According to historical records, before the unification of Dayan, there were nine major vassal states in this part of the world, and these nine vassal states fought against each other and fought each other.
The Old Man of the Lost Soul is just one of them, in addition to the emergence of many masters, and now the Seven Great Sects of Dayan, the Yuheng Sword Sect and the Blue River Sect were founded at that time, and they have continued to this day.
Extrapolating further, before the Rebellion of the Nine Kingdoms was the powerful Great Zhou Dynasty.
However, the history books only record the prosperity of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the glorious history, as for why such a strong Great Zhou Dynasty collapsed and suddenly fell apart, and did not make any records, as if it was like all of a sudden, the Great Zhou Dynasty fell into decline.
So much so that later, the nine major vassal kings in the world were divided and the nine major vassal states were founded, opening an era of vast conquest and prancing horse Jingo.
What puzzled An Jing was that neither the history books nor the people recorded the sudden decline of the Great Zhou Dynasty, as if this was a blank history.
Although the nine countries fought against each other, they seemed to maintain a natural tacit understanding with each other, that is, to burn and bury this history.
As for why the Nine Kingdoms did this, not many people know, and perhaps most of the people who know are no longer in this world.
"I don't know the specifics."
Jiang Sanjia shook his head.
"Under the world, there are still things that your Guigu faction doesn't know?" Mu Xiaoyun raised his eyebrows, "Besides, isn't your Guigu faction a sect that has been derived from the Great Zhou Dynasty to the present?" β
The Guigu faction is the oldest sect in today's rivers and lakes, and it is good at calculating the heavens, and knows many secrets of the world, and Jiang Sanjia was also the Great Yan Qin Heavenly Supervisor before, and he can watch some royal secret scrolls, logically speaking, there should be very few things he doesn't know in the world.
"Heaven is inexhaustible, this is the rule of my sect."
Jiang Sanjia pondered for a long time, and said: "I only know one thing, the decline of the Great Zhou Dynasty must have something to do with the things sealed underground, this is what is stated in the Guigu Book, when there are six seals in the underground today, in fact, these seals have long existed, at that time in the Great Zhou Dynasty, Buddhism suppressed these seals, and now the emperor of the Great Yan Dynasty has prepared a lock dragon well in Yujing City, which seems to have strengthened a new seal, so there are a total of seven underground seals." β
"By the way, there is a seal in Faxi Temple, and the seal is about to break, but I don't know what will happen if this seal is broken."
Mu Xiaoyun shook his head, "I've heard of these things, but they seem to be related to the national fortune." β
When An Jing heard this, he became even more puzzled about the seal in his heart.
The fall of the Great Zhou Dynasty turned out to be related to that seal, what was the bottom of that seal, and why did the kings of the Nine Kingdoms erase this period of history?
Why is the seal of Hoki Temple on the verge of cracking, and his life is rising.
And what exactly is himself and the dragon, or what is the metaphor, why do you go crazy when you see yourself?
Could it be that this seal is his own life, so the seal is broken, and his life is rising?
Everything made An Jing's heart full of doubts.
The three of them spoke a few more words and fell into a brief silence.
"In that case, then I buried Xue Chen's body and planned to leave."
Mu Xiaoyun picked up Xue Chen's corpse, looked at the two of them and got up to say goodbye.
An Jing looked at Mu Xiaoyun and sighed secretly in his heart.
A precious ancient jade essence blood was exchanged for a dead corpse, and it was hard to imagine that this was the choice that Mu Xiaoyun, known as the femme fatale, would make.
"Let's go, it's okay to leave Dayan." Jiang Sanjia sighed.
"Sanjia, don't draw the ground as a prison and trap yourself." Mu Xiaoyun glanced at Jiang Sanjia seriously, and then said: "The mountains are high and the waters are long, goodbye to the rivers and lakes." β
"I hope I'll see you next time." An Jing smiled faintly.
"Okay, I'll see you in the rivers and lakes."
Mu Xiaoyun was stunned, couldn't help but smile, and then his body straightened and walked into the distance.

Jade City, Yonghe Palace.
The courtyard is empty, the four sides are vast, the white stones are all over the ground, the lawn flowers and trees are listed, and the pine pavilion is beautiful.
It has a pair of more than 10 meters of Huabiao standing on the Sumeru seat in the courtyard, white marble texture, Jiaolong entanglement, wind from the clouds, there are cloud plates, bearing dew plates and squatting beasts, solemn and solemn.
On the stone bench in the courtyard, there was a young man, the man was wearing a red robe, wearing a winged crown, and a jade glass belt wrapped around his waist.
He was holding a jade birdcage in his hand, teasing the spirit bird in the cage.
"Second Highness."
At this moment, a middle-aged man, led by the guards, walked in slowly.
The man's face was wrinkled, covered with traces of time, but his eyes were bright, and this person was Yue Tingchen, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry of the dynasty.
And the young man in front of him is Zhao Mengtai, the second son of the current emperor.
"Can you find out the vibration of the lock dragon well?" Second Highness Zhao Mengtai looked at the caged bird and asked casually.
"It's fine." Yue Tingchen said lightly: "In recent years, the vibration of the lock dragon well has become more and more frequent, and the national teacher once said that it is caused by the loosening of other seals in various parts of Dayan, but as long as the last seal of the lock dragon well is not hindered, you can sit back and relax." β
"That's what the national teacher said, that's right."
Zhao Mengtai put down the birdcage, and then clapped his palms, "But my father didn't say so, he said that one place is indispensable for seals everywhere, and nothing can go wrong, and you have to check this matter." β
Yue Tingchen nodded and said, "What His Royal Highness said is very true. β
Zhao Mengtai bowed slightly, and said with a smile: "I heard that Jiangnan Road has been unstable recently, has Lord Yue heard of it?" β
"I've heard of it, it seems that there are demon sect masters." Yue Tingchen frowned.
The Demon Sect also staged a rebel coup d'Γ©tat in Dayan, so above the Dayan Temple, he was also afraid of the Demon Sect.
"I'm not talking about the Demon Cult." His Royal Highness squinted his eyes and said, "I'm talking about Jiang Sanjia." β
"Jiang Sanjia?"
Yue Tingchen was a little puzzled.
He naturally knows very well about this Jiang Sanjia, he used to serve in Qin Tianjian, what kind of place is Qin Tianjian, and Jiang Sanjia is an important person who specializes in divining the emperor's fortunes, and this position is not something that ordinary people can hold.
However, Jiang Sanjia's temperament is very strange, and all forces in the temple have co-opted him, but he is not interested in this, coupled with a series of things later, he lost the trust of the emperor, if Qin Tianjian is red, it is red and purple, once he loses power, it is also extremely miserable, after all, Qin Tianjian knows many secrets, not only the emperor will be suspicious, but many other people in the temple are also not at ease with it.
In the end, two years after Jiang Sanjia resigned, he was still imprisoned on charges of corruption and bribery, and then it was as if he was secretly escorted to Jiangnan Province.
Chu Nanying, the Taoist master of Jiangnan Province, is the prince's person, needless to say, this must be some means used by the prince to escort Jiang Sanjia to the prison of Yuzhou City.
According to the intelligence from the investigation, the relationship between Chu Nanying, the head of Jiangnan Province, and Liu Qingshan, the leader of the Cao Gang, is also irreversible, as an old fox who has been in the temple for decades, he naturally smells a different smell from it.
"What does Your Highness mean?" Yue Ting Chen asked in a loud voice.
Zhao Mengtai said slowly: "What Jiang Sanjia committed back then was just some trivial things, besides, the person who impeached him was Zhu Yongfang, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, right?" Now most of the people in Qin Tianjian are wine bags and rice bags, and Jiang Sanjia is a descendant of Guigu, why don't we use him well? β
"Besides, my prince brother, his ambition is not small, and he actually wants to stir up this huge river and lake."
Zhu Yongfang, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, is also a party of the prince, if Jiang Sanjia is rehabilitated, he can not only win over Jiang Sanjia, but also eradicate the forces that weaken the prince's party.
The most important thing is that it can stop the next steps of the current prince.
The Five Gangs Alliance, if it is promoted, the prince has a terrible force in the rivers and lakes......
When Yue Tingchen heard this, his heart was shocked, Zhao Mengtai only revealed a little bit of information, and he guessed a little information, but he didn't expect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to plan so deeply, and his hand unconsciously stretched out into the rivers and lakes.
It stands to reason that with Zhao Mengtai's temperament, it is impossible for him not to respond.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to promote the alliance of the five gangs and wants to seek some help in the rivers and lakes, so it is impossible for His Royal Highness to be indifferent........
Yue Tingchen seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly felt a chill in his heart.
"What's wrong?" Zhao Mengtai couldn't help but ask with a smile when he saw Yue Tingchen with such a look.
Zhao Mengtai had a smile on the corner of his mouth, but his eyes were like sharp swords, making people dare not look directly.
However, Yue Tingchen was an old fox who was in the temple after all, and said with a quiet smile on his face: "Second Highness, Jiang Sanjia is still very capable, if we can win over, it will indeed be a big help." β
Zhao Mengtai nodded and said, "Okay, then do it, what do you say we should do?" β
Yue Tingchen pondered for a long time and said, "On the grounds of locking the dragon well, the saint can't refuse. β
"That's good."
