Jiang Chen understood in his heart.

The process of collecting spiritual materials and elixirs is an experience, a valuable growth.

If it is relatively simple in the early days, he purely relies on money to buy elixir, and mainly relies on others to solve ritual problems.

"Rely on the mountains and mountains, rely on everyone to fall!"

When others are powerless to help, and the value of spiritual materials cannot be measured by money, what should we do?

Therefore.

The moment he noticed that Zhang Baisui had disappeared, Jiang Chen had the idea of finding the dragon vein land spirit stone by himself.

Luckily.

He also "relied on his own efforts" to find the feng shui treasure that should have become the dragon vein of Loulan, that is, the dragon cave in front of him, which was nourished by the essence of the sun and the moon.

Zhang Baisui stretched out his hand and pointed to the center of the stone cave here, stroked his white beard and smiled:

"Go get it."

"However, you have to be careful of the collision and backlash of the dragon qi inside."

"It will break into your sea of consciousness in a short period of time and attack your spiritual will, this is a struggle of pure spiritual will, qi and blood are meaningless, hold on, you can really gain the recognition of the earth spiritual stone, get everything from it."

The corners of Zhang Baisui's mouth rose slightly:

"Of course, if you are not firm enough, you may also be taken away by the dragon's qi in turn~"

Hear this.

Jiang Chen was slightly surprised:

"Backlash? Snatching? ”

"How?"

Zhang Baisui explained:

"The reason why the "Little Desolation Sutra" recommends the land spiritual stone of the abandoned dragon vein is because the dragon qi is weak and the backlash is small."

"And right now, this sun, moon and dragon lair has flourished hundreds of years ago, and the dragon qi is more than ten times that of today, which should have become the first pot of gold for the founding of Loulan, and then be nourished by Loulan's national fortune for a long time."

Jiang Chen was clear.

Isn't this an "angel round investment"?

Dragon's Den is equivalent to an angel investor, giving the entrepreneur - the first generation of Loulan Wang - Yan Leisheng a certain amount of financial support, and when the listing is successful, you can enjoy rich returns.

Zhang Baisui continued:

"But on the contrary!"

"For some reason, the first king of Loulan did not bury his grandfather's body in the stone cave here, but managed to hunt and kill His Excellency the Peacock, the pearl of the Western Regions, and the bull-headed ghost god, and laid the foundation of Loulan with the power of gods and ghosts."

"This stone cave has not been nourished by humane luck for a long time, and with the movement and transfer of earth qi, it has gradually decayed."

"Although it is far weaker than the normal national dragon vein, it has never been abandoned, and its strength is at least several times that of the ordinary abandoned dragon vein, you have to be careful."

Jiang Chen nodded, very understanding.

In a relatively concise and easy-to-understand way,

That is:

The entrepreneur-Yan Leisheng rejected the angel round investment of the Sun Moon Dragon's Lair Foundation, and then teamed up with the robber-bull-headed ghost god to trick the kind-hearted rich girl-Pearl Peacock into the slums in the name of poverty alleviation (praying for rain), and then ......

Afterwards.

The two successfully grabbed a large amount of entrepreneurial capital.

And that's not all.

Yan Leisheng also chose to eat black and eat black, killed the robber accomplice Niu Shou Ghost God, and then washed his hands ashore, established Loulan Construction Group, and served as the first chairman, with a glorious scenery for hundreds of years.

The original Sun Moon Dragon's Lair Foundation has also gradually declined due to the missed excellent investment opportunities and the change in market trends.

And their own goals,

It is to seize the investment license of the Sun, Moon and Dragon's Lair Foundation.

If the foundation had gone bankrupt, it would have been much easier to snatch the investment license.

But now.

It's just decaying, decaying, aging, and not dying......

The corners of Jiang Chen's mouth rose slightly, he raised his eyes to look at the Sun Moon Dragon Cave, and smiled in a low voice:

"What about the dragon qi backlash?"

"I'm not a fish seller, but I've heard a saying."

"It's called ......"

"The bigger the waves, the more expensive the fish!"

said.

Stepping forward, with only one breath, he walked to the front of the Sun and Moon Dragon's Lair.

At this moment, Jiang Chen's eyes seemed to be contemplating the will of the vast heaven and earth, and with just one glance, he found the purest diamond-shaped gravel from the hundreds of gravels in the stone cave.

The appearance is unremarkable, but the inside contains an extremely terrifying earth dragon qi, and it is also the core of the entire Beijiao Mountain dragon vein core!

This is the legendary medicine: the core of the dragon vein, the spirit stone containing the breath of the earth.

If this earth spirit stone is taken away, then the dragon vein of Beijiao Mountain here will completely decline and truly degenerate into an ordinary mountain range.

And as Jiang Chen approached, the Sun Moon Dragon's Lair also instinctively sensed the abnormality, and a trace of invisible aura condensed in mid-air, trying to resist.

"It's a pity ......"

"It's useless to resist!"

"Truly!"

Jiang Chen smiled fiercely, trying to make his mental state appear more ferocious, and then decisively stretched out his hand and quickly picked up the spiritual stone from the stone cave.

But the moment he held the spirit stone, he also sensed an invisible thick barrier, separating himself from the earth's aura in the stone.

Before Jiang Chen could think about it, he felt a slight tingling in his eyebrows, as if he sensed that danger was coming!

Rumble!

The huge Beijiao Mountain shook slightly, and suddenly rolled up a terrifying wave of air, sweeping away the seemingly endless dust and smoke, rolling straight into the sky.

The birds of the mountains and forests flew in fright, and the beasts on the surface fled.

The next moment!

The originally bright early morning sky, I don't know when there was a trace of ink to infect the sky, Jiang Chen looked up, but saw dark clouds rolling, the sky was dark.

"It's going to rain?"

Jiang Chen looked up at the sky, feeling the gradually humid air around him, but he never waited for the dragon qi to return into the sea of knowledge, and couldn't help but look at Zhang Baisui in confusion.

"Don't worry, let the wind and rain fly for a while!"

Zhang Baisui shook his already damp cotton robe, walked leisurely to shelter from the rain under a pine tree, and then squinted at the sky:

"There's still ten breaths to go, get ready."

"Good!"

Jiang Chen took a deep breath, shook his spirit, and silently waited for the dragon qi to retaliate.

After counting the interest.

Black clouds cover the sun, the rain is raging, hundreds of silver snakes swim in the vast dark sky, fine raindrops, crushing the clouds, from top to bottom, with the wind sneaking down the world.

The rain quickly flowed into the dragon's lair of the sun and the moon, and gradually filled.

Those air waves and smoke and dust also poured with the heavy rain, mixed with water vapor, and splashed the ground muddy and difficult to walk.

It was also at this time.

Thunderbolts blasted to the ground, but the target was not Jiang Chen, but the sun and moon dragon lair, which exploded into mud and sand in an instant, and the gravel shook chaotically.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Baisui turned his head and reminded urgently:

"It's coming!"

Electrifying stone fire.

Jiang Chen calmed his mind and strived to fight against the dragon qi with the fullest attitude.

Then.

With just one breath, the Sun Moon Dragon Cave decayed in an instant, and all the remaining dragon qi was swept away by the thunder.

The dragon qi that had nowhere to go quickly condensed in mid-air, turning into an illusory image of a three-headed frog, as big as a building.

Then, this frog illusion detected the traces of the thief Jiang Chen at a glance, and the dragon's eyes ignited with anger, and it flew over, quickly drilling into the depths of Jiang Chen's eyebrows.

…………

Jiang Chen's eyes closed and opened.

In the blink of an eye.

For the first time, his soul body entered this gray sea of consciousness in a state of non-[talented people, inspiration exploded].

The five stars on the top, three gold and two red, still provide light for the dark sea of consciousness all the time.

And in the depths of the gray mist, three frogs as big as a building quickly burst out, with a fierce light in their eyes!

"Brilliant man, in this case, is it useful?"

Jiang Chen's heart moved, and above the sea and sky, one of the red dazzling stars burst out with a strong light, which was extremely dazzling!

The red light shrouded one person and three Jiao at the same time.

In the blink of an eye.

Jiang Chen realized the current usefulness of [Talented Person].

He could imagine at will within the sea of knowledge, and quickly create any powerful blade he had ever seen.

Moreover.

No matter how long the fight lasts, to the real world, it's just a moment.

It is basically similar to the previous state of "inspiration erupts, one thought is eternal".

Such advantages, if Zhang Baisui saw it, he would definitely call it cheating.

When he seized the Earth Spirit Stone of the abandoned dragon vein, he could only imagine and create some ordinary blades, neither sharp nor tough, and he fought to the death for three hours with the illusion of the anti-devouring dragon qi before he barely won the victory.

"Roar!"

"Roar! Roar! ”

Three terrifying roars in succession are undoubtedly the illusions of three frogs, trying to take the lead and frighten the enemy with a fierce roar.

"Stupid!"

"If you really have the strength to take me away, you should pounce on me immediately!"

Jiang Chen's expression was tyrannical and cold, his mind shook, and he immediately created a new treasure bow, the Red Soul Bow, and bursts of tyrannical emotions erupted in his heart, turning into sharp arrows.

Bow and arrow.

Then, the arrows are out of the chain!

One arrow after another, with a rolling tyrannical emotion, with the terrifying power of breaking the air barrier beyond the speed of sound, shot quickly towards the three frogs!

One arrow,

Another arrow,

In the piercing sound of arrows breaking through the air, the extremely sharp arrows, with a fierce edge that penetrated everything, blatantly inserted into the flesh and blood of the dragon's body, not reaching the tail feathers.

Almost every time the arrow was inserted, a scream was heard, and blood splattered.

The three frog visions were also furious, and no matter how much it dodged, it was difficult to resist the ghostly arrows.

Wear poplars and shoot willows, and hit every shot!

With Jiang Chen's current superb archery skills, a target as huge as the three frogs can be easily hit even with his eyes closed.

Even mobile shooting is no problem.

So, Jiang Chen played kite flying with the three frog illusions, in this vast sea of knowledge.

However.

At the moment when the three frog illusions were covered with hundreds of wounds, its huge dragon eyes showed a hint of the success of the plan.

"Roar!"

The three frog illusions roared, endured hundreds of breaths of pain, and finally exploded at this moment, all the negative emotions were concentrated in its six dragon eyes.

"Huh?"

Jiang Chen was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized.

The eyes are the windows of the soul, and the spiritual blows emitted by the three frogs through the eyes may be the right way to fight spiritually.

It deliberately endured the pain, just waiting for this last moment of counter-killing!

Six blood-gray fierce lights shot out from the eyes of the three frogs, almost killing in an instant!

"It's a pity ......"

"You're far from your eyes!"

The corners of Jiang Chen's mouth rose slightly, and then his eyes moved slightly, and the vast will of heaven and earth contained in it was revealed.

The next moment!

Six blood-gray painful and fierce lights, like six blood-stained sickle chariots, crashed into Jiang Chen's heavenly eyes.

And then.

Gone......

There was not even a ripple, and the killing moves that the three frogs had painstakingly prepared disappeared into invisibility in an instant.

"Tianyan, it's really powerful, even if it's still unawakened, it can have such power, if it's awakened......"

"Is that still the case?"

Jiang Chen saw the power of his heavenly eye, and his mood became more and more happy, so he smiled at the three frogs, waved his hand, and signaled to continue.

See this.

The three frog illusions roared angrily, but they were impotent and furious after all.

Not much.

Jiang Chen held a bow and shot arrows, and it took about an hour to finally grind these three frog illusions alive.

Then.

The soul body is out of the sea of consciousness and returns to reality.

…………

The decaying dragon's lair.

Under the pine tree, Zhang Baisui looked at Jiang Chen, who had his eyes closed, and said with a slight pride:

"It took the old man three hours to grind the ruin Dragon Monarch to death, and I don't know how long it will take Jiang Chen, this kid?"

As soon as the words fell.

Jiang Chen slowly opened his eyes, looked at Zhang Baisui who was hiding from the rain under the tree, and said with a smile: "Old Tun Chief, fortunately, he has successfully subdued the anti-devouring dragon qi. ”

said.

The arm was raised, and the dragon vein land spiritual stone exuded the breath of the earth, and the invisible thick barrier had disappeared.

This also means that the four flavors of elixir spiritual materials have been collected by the monarch and ministers.

More than 1,000 villagers, including Li Tianlao and Li Zha, are urgently learning that "if you don't violate the agricultural time, the valley will not be able to eat; The number of signatures does not enter the bay pool, and the fish and turtles cannot be eaten; The axe catty enters the mountains and forests at the right time, and the timber is not ...... to use".

All the conditions for promotion to Captain Wilderness have been prepared.

"Huh?"

"How long has it been?"

Zhang Baisui was stunned, looking incredulous.

And at this time.

With the demise of the anti-devouring dragon qi, Beijiao Mountain, especially the peak of Tiangar Mountain, has obviously not undergone any changes, but it seems to have lost that trace of distant and heavy meaning.

The rain became heavier and heavier, as if mourning the death of the dragon's energy.

"This rain, born in the sky, died on the earth, the process in the middle is the ...... of life" Jiang Chen stared at the torrential rain, and suddenly recalled this famous sentence.

…………

"It's raining?"

In the capital of Loulan country, in the palace, the contemporary king of Loulan, Yan Zhen, was obviously sitting on the throne and being supported by all the people, but at this moment his face was sad, he only glanced at the rain scene outside the palace, then lost interest, and said coldly:

"General Zuo, how is the current situation of defending the city?"

The man known as "General Zuo" is a very strong man, nine feet tall, with a round belly and thick limbs, and is a typical pot-bellied general.

He said with an urn voice:

"Report to the King."

"With the help of the five wolf generals, plus the two quasi-artifacts left by the ancestors, I can barely hold on for a few days, but ......"

"But what!"

Yan Zhen was not angry and arrogant, and as soon as he opened his mouth, the air around him almost froze.

General Zuo sighed and said:

"The struggle of the Wuhu tribes in the grassland for the new Xiongnu has entered the most fierce moment, and they are unable to support Loulan."

"Moreover, with the destruction of the four cities in the east, west, north and south, the national fortune of Loulan is far from enough to inspire the Ghost Gate Pass ceremony, and all the Luo sect believers have fled yesterday."

"We ......"

"Now, Loulan is a lonely city......"

Hearing this, Yan Zhen's evil eyes showed a weak look, his hand pinched the armrest of the throne, and his muscles jumped violently, but he was silent and didn't say a word.

But at this time.

The right diviner on the side laughed treacherously:

"King, our Loulan, in fact, there is still a glimmer of life!"

Hear me.

Yan Zhen's evil eyes showed joy at the moment, and he immediately grabbed the arm of the right diviner, and said excitedly: "Is it possible, the ghosts and gods can make a move without national fortune and sacrifices?" ”

The right diviner smiled:

"Not really."

Yan Zhen's evil eyes turned cold:

"And what else do you have to say?"

The right diviner took out an old tortoise shell and said with an unfathomable expression:

"According to the ghosts and gods of the underworld, the last ray of life in Loulan is not in the lonely city of the national capital, but in the ......"

"Don't sell it, say it quickly!" Yan Zhen was angry, and his voice was like rolling thunder, and he was immediately frightened by the right diviner to tell the truth:

"At Yumen Pass!"

"It's not just Loulan, the glimmer of life in the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions is in Yumen Pass!"

Yan Zhenwei was stunned.

Yumen Pass, isn't that the boundary of Liangzhou?

What's going on?

…………

Liangzhou border.

Yumen Pass.

During the Han Dynasty, it was not unreasonable to set this border city as the dividing line between Liangzhou and the Western Regions.

Just because—

There is still a little greenery in the pass, which can be used for agricultural reclamation and is suitable for the survival of farming people.

Out of the Yumen Pass, it is reckless Gobi, gravel, sand sea, strong wind, and a few weeds survive tenaciously, but it increasingly sets off the desolation and death of the Western Regions outside the Guan.

As the sun rose, an envoy group of about 100 people walked out of Yumen Pass, along the increasingly small oasis belt, deep into the Gobi, and marched towards Loulan.

They carry the latest will of the old emperor.

A guilty edict.

To translate some high-sounding polite words, that is:

Completely abandon the national policy of conquering the Western Regions, stop the war, change course, and tame the 36 countries with diplomatic envoys.

It sounds like Fu Jiezi and Ban Chao are old things.

But actually.

The old emperor's illness has become more and more serious, and he can no longer withstand a long national war that lasts for ten years, so that the crown prince can inherit the throne stably.

This war to conquer the Western Regions is about to end in a hurry before it has entered its real climax......

A civilian envoy sneered:

"Those soldiers, how many resources have been consumed by the country, but in the end, they are just provoking one meaningless war after another!"

"What's the point of this bird not pooping in the Western Regions?"

Another envoy chimed in:

"Not bad."

"Forming an alliance with the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions is enough, so why bother to conquer it?"

"My David's focus should be to deal with the northern grasslands, those Hu people, the recent movements are getting bigger and bigger."

There are also envoys who say:

"Recently, the rat infestation has been serious, and the treasury is short of grain and grass, so the Qingzhou army, which is good at grass and trees, should be relieved and returned to the fields to farm......"

In the midst of the indignant discussions of many envoys.

They even put forward an extremely disobedient idea - even if it was Loulan, which was about to be conquered, they did not want it, in order to show the sincerity of the David-Wu Dynasty......
