[On the day of the Tao, you refuted the emperor in public, smashed the plaque, and walked away. 】

[This matter spread all over the world, the emperor's prestige was discredited, and Yongle Taoist Temple was closed for three months and did not accept any foreign guests. 】

[When Emperor Meng heard about this, he wanted to recruit you into the palace with a high-ranking official and asked. 】

[You have left the imperial capital and traveled thousands of miles before you heard about it......]

[A: Return to the Imperial Capital, B: Traveling in all directions, C: Investigate the Eight Prefectures, D: Personally intervene]

Jiang He's fingers swept over the text and couldn't help but laugh.

This eternal optimism is really a straw bale.

He has the world's top Taoist inheritance and has practiced for more than 200 years.

As a result, when he talked to Jiang He, he only lasted for a day, and he was directly refuted and speechless.

In the last years of the Rong Dynasty, the Lord of Immortality, in the case of being assimilated by the Source Demon, still discussed with Jiang He for seven days, and fought on a par!

It shows that he does not concentrate on cultivation at all on weekdays, and all his thoughts are on power and wealth.

It's simply humiliating the Dao Sect Inheritance.

See the eternal optimism of the Lord like this.

Jiang He's heart moved slightly.

"Eternal optimism is obsessed with power and power, and has no intention of cultivating."

"From above to down, Yongle Taoism is naturally becoming more and more secular and secular."

"But there is no problem with the inheritance of Taoist scriptures, but they have been lowered by the eternal optimistic master, making the world laugh."

"Yan Chicheng has a pure heart, if he can become the next Yongxing master, he may be able to reverse the atmosphere of Yongle Taoist Temple......"

After generating an idea, Jiang He was not in a hurry to act, but kept the matter in his heart.

It's just a week, and it's still in the exploration stage.

Now that the strength has improved, let's investigate first to see if there are real demons lurking in the Meng Dynasty era, and whether it is really as calm as it seems.

As for cultivating Yan Chicheng, let him become the next eternal optimistic master......

This kind of thing can be pushed along the water, deliberately arranged, but not beautiful.

He didn't hesitate to make a decision.

【Investigation of Eight Prefectures】

Emperor Meng recruited himself and entered the palace and asked?

Jiang He was so busy saving the world that he didn't have the heart to play any game of immortality with the emperor.

Just turn a blind eye and play on your own.

As for the investigation of the true demon lurking, where to start.

Jiang He is not clueless.

Instead, I have already done a good job of the strategy and thought of the process.

【Heaven and Earth Collapse】

According to the information excavated from the second anchor point, the goal of the Source Demon is to destroy Taixuan, and destroy the last land on which all spirits depend for survival by eroding the earth spirits.

It failed, but it also succeeded.

Although Jiang He rescued the earth spirits, there were still two states where the earth spirits were too badly damaged, slowly losing their vitality, and finally crumbled and shattered, falling into the endless sea.

Think according to this logic.

During the Meng Dynasty, there were 37 states in the world.

By the time of the Rong Dynasty, there were only twenty-nine states left in the world.

In other words, in the nearly 4,000 years from the Meng Dynasty to the Rong Dynasty, there were enough eight states to collapse and die!

The living area of Taixuan creatures has been reduced by nearly a quarter!

Jiang He really couldn't believe that this exaggerated change was naturally formed.

"The anchor point of the end of time has been locked, and this collapse cannot be reversed unless I trace it back to the source of history and become an elder who modifies time at will."

"These eight states are doomed to destruction."

"However, I can investigate the cause of their destruction so that I can get more information to help me grow ......"

According to historical records, the closest state to the current point in time is Dazhou 110 years later.

At the current point in time, Dazhou has become a desert, and there must be a situation.

Jiang He was going to Dazhou first to see if there were any traces of demons.

[You ignored Emperor Meng's invitation and went to Dazhou. 】

[All the way forward, you take Yan Chicheng to visit the Taoist temple along the road, discuss the Tao with the master, and win, both sides have benefited a lot. 】

[The observers from all over the world admire your attainments and invite you to stay for a few days and then continue on the road. 】

[Your fame has spread quickly to the world through the mouths of the Lords everywhere. 】

[Because of the name of a real man.] 】

[The more Emperor Meng felt that you were a real master, he kept increasing his weight, and sent out the guards to seek immortals, and his heart to seek the Tao became more and more determined. 】

[However, your Taoism is profound, and you have visited the mountains all over the mountains, but you can't see your figure. 】

Emperor Meng's desire to seek immortality was really extremely fanatical.

Instead of being discouraged, he became more and more desperate to chase after him.

But the more he did.

Jiang He became more and more indifferent and turned a blind eye directly.

The emperor didn't think about the government, he couldn't give up the throne, and really went to ask the immortals to ask.

On the contrary, while dominating the dragon chair, he sought immortality and long-term vision.

Anyone can see what is in their minds.

That is, for the sake of the peace in the world and the peace of the people, Jiang He didn't bother to deal with the emperor and went with him.

Anyway, Jiang He's Dao method is becoming more and more perfect, and so is the method of concealment.

Even if they walked in front of Xun Xianwei, they couldn't recognize Jiang He's identity at all, and they couldn't bring any trouble at all.

On the contrary, it was Yan Chicheng's change that made Jiang He very happy.

He already has a pure heart, but he is in the Yongle Taoist Temple, surrounded by people who are chasing fame and fortune, so he is confused and doesn't know why he cultivates.

But when Jiang He took him through half the world, visited the Taoist temples along the road, and discussed the Tao with one Taoist after another.

Gradually, he began to come to his senses.

I started to feel something.

In the process, the two gradually moved away from the center of the Meng Dynasty and came to some barren and sparsely populated border states.

In the troubled times of the past, these states were beaten to the brink of collapse, and their vitality was greatly damaged.

Even after a thousand years, it still has not fully recovered, but is extremely barren and cannot support many living beings, making the population relatively sparse and the jurisdiction of the imperial court relatively weak.

These places are known as the Poor Mountains and Bad Waters.

From time to time, there will be demons running rampant and wreaking havoc in the village.

These places are filled with knights who travel with swords.

There are also bandits in the fish and meat villages, or death row prisoners who have fled.

These places are known as rivers and lakes.

It is a common stage in many teahouse and restaurant stories.

"Speaking of which, most of the eight collapsed states such as Dazhou have a similar background, but they are more barren and have almost become deserts that are inaccessible."

"It is also possible that they were shattered in troubled times, and after thousands of years, they did not recover slowly, but gradually declined......

"It's not impossible."

"How hard did the previous dynasty fight? Can heaven and earth be beaten like this? ”

Jiang He reserved his views.

It didn't take long for the two to encounter an accident.

[Meng calendar 1357, the third day of the first month of Gui. 】

[You and Yan Chicheng walked to the mountain village and heard the old woman crying. 】

[When you showed up to ask about it, you learned that there was a fierce tiger, entrenched in the mountains, with a cruel and cunning temperament, and occasionally officers and soldiers entered the mountains to sweep, but they were never killed. 】

[Two days ago, the old woman and young grandson were seriously ill and needed Chinese medicinal materials in the mountains, and their children risked their lives and went into the mountains to look for medicinal materials, but they did not return for a day. 】

[The old man was worried about the child, so he went to the mountains to look for it, but he disappeared without a trace. 】

[Now the master is gone, and the daughter-in-law has died young, leaving only the old woman and the seriously ill young grandson. 】

[A: Stand by and watch, B: Kill the tiger, C: Help with all your might, D: Personally intervene]

Even in the midst of prosperity, there are dark corners that the sun cannot reach.

Especially in this sparsely populated border wasteland, there may be only a few families in the countryside every few miles, and it is difficult for the imperial court to fully take care of it.

For these people, the slightest change is the destruction of their families.

Jiang He sighed slightly.

【Full Help】

Jiang He knows very well that there are countless things in the world.

He can't be saved, and he can't be saved one by one.

However, since I saw this, I can't choose to stand by and watch.

Help each other with all our might, just for the idea to be clear.

[You used the Tao method to treat the old woman who was seriously ill and the young grandson, and you went into the mountain in person. 】

[Shaoqing, the tiger returned first, and the evil tiger was ambushed. 】

[The old woman knew your deep meaning, and she wanted to thank Ende with tears, and was helped up by you. 】

[You said that the mountains and rivers are poor, and it is difficult for the old woman to support her young grandson alone, so she sent the old woman and her grandson to a Taoist temple, entrusted the silver two, and asked the Taoist to take care of it in the name of a real person. 】

[When the matter is over, the mind is clear. 】

[On the road again, Yan Chicheng was silent for many days, as if immersed in the previous sadness. 】

[One day, Yan Chi sincerely invited you to have a long talk, and his face was solemn. 】

[You seem to know the meaning and readily agree. 】

[Yan Chi said sincerely, he reads Taoism with you, knows the Taoist people in the world, not all of them are people who chase fame and fortune, but also people who have firm beliefs and have a path in their hearts. 】

[He traveled thousands of miles with you to the border barren state, and saw the demons raging, and the people were suffering. 】

[Clarify your own path. 】

[He has sought the Tao since he was a child, not for the pursuit of fame and fortune, not for longevity, but only for holding a three-foot sword, walking between the rivers and lakes, and removing injustices. 】

[Fang Cai's mind is clear. 】

[Yan Chicheng said goodbye to you and wanted to prove his own path. 】

【...... you choose】

[A: Farewell, B: Invite him to accompany him, C: Personally intervene]

Jiang He's fingers brushed over the words, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

In the imperial capital of the past, the young man with a pure heart has finally cleared the clouds and established his own path.

He is no longer confused, no longer confused.

I want to use a three-foot sword to prove the way in my heart.

Jiang He had a feeling that his hairy boy had finally grown up, and he was very pleased.

It was in vain that he stayed in the imperial capital and practiced penance for twenty years.

Is this the joy of the cultivation department?

【Farewell】

"Out of the mud but not stained, clear ripples but not demons."

"May you have a good trip...... Yan Daoyou. ”

[You readily agreed, so you and Yan Chicheng sang with wine. 】

[After drinking, give him a sword, divide the road into two sides, go one way each, and say goodbye. 】

[You go on the road alone and continue to Dazhou. 】

For Yan Chicheng's choice.

Jiang He was very pleased.

This also means that he needs to go to Dazhou alone to investigate the traces of demons.

Although Jiang He's Taoism is profound and his sword skills are superb, he is already the top powerhouse in this world, so he doesn't have to worry about safety at all......

But he always walks alone, and he usually doesn't even have anyone to chat and drink.

can only raise a glass to invite Mingyue, and the shadow becomes a trio, which seems a little lonely.

Just when Jiang He felt a little lonely.

On the page in front of me, new words were derived.

[You walked to the border of Dazhou, met a group of desert pickers, and returned from the desert. 】

[This trip is a deserter, as if he escaped death, extremely embarrassed, but with a fluke on his face. 】

[You were puzzled, stepped forward to inquire, and heard Mo Ke's words, you just encountered a sandstorm in the desert of Dazhou, and almost lost your life, but fortunately the desert fairy rescued you, and you survived. 】

[You are curious that there are fairies in the desert. 】

[Mo Keyan said, he was dressed in white, his figure flashed, fluttering like snow, and the remaining fragrance remained, although he did not see his face, he must be a fairy. 】

Jiang He brushed the words, accompanied by the fairy characteristics told by Mo Ke, and a figure appeared in his heart.

"Is that the fox demon? Did she run into the desert of Dazhou? ”
