Donghuang Ziji

Chapter 313: Secret Plan

Light was flying and energy was churning. Taoist Chu Tai and Mu Jing looked at the broken instruments with unhappy expressions.

Taoist Mu Jing looked at Chu Tai and asked, "What did you calculate, fellow Taoist?"

"Although the connection is very weak, the changes in Taoist Zhengyang may be related to Hong Yue. Moreover, the problem you have to face this time is probably not your own calamity, but the calamity of the five scattered people. It's just that your calamity is the trigger, which will cause the calamities of the five scattered people to explode together. What makes me a little strange is that the five of you were fine, why did the calamity suddenly explode at the same time."

Chu Tai continued to calculate by counting on his fingers, and Taoist Mu Jing beside him already knew the reason.

"I'm afraid it's because of the 'Taixuan Shanggong Five Emperors Subduing Demons Sutra'."

Chu Tai was somewhat shocked. He looked at Taoist Mu Jing and asked, "The Five Emperors' Demon Subduing Sutra of the Taixuan Palace? If I remember correctly, this method was passed down from Daluo Heaven in the past. Were you five lucky enough to see it?"

"It's not a complete version. It's just five fragments that lack the general outline. When the five of us got it, we supplemented it according to our own cultivation methods and evolved the Five Emperors and Five Huas Golden Chapter from it. Taoist Zhengyang also tried to use it to break through the limitations of his own cultivation. Unfortunately, the essence contained in the last fragment is too little to help him make further progress."

Chu Tai was about to say something when he heard this, but the next second he thought of another thing and began to calculate silently. The more he calculated, the more frightened he became, because even if he deliberately attracted the "fate" to gather here, he could not deduce any clear information.

He mobilized a small amount of the thinner fog around the Donghuang Bell and used the fog generated by chanting "Yun Zhongjun" to cover up his own traces. At the same time, he pushed away the "fog" in front of him and explored the changes again. Chu Tai vaguely saw a five-colored glow.

He immediately withdrew his gaze, lowered his head and said nothing.

The change in Chu Tai's mood made Taoist Mu Jing curious, and he asked him the reason.

"When I heard what you said just now, a light flashed in my mind, and I vaguely saw some of the secrets of heaven. I'm afraid that this disaster is also related to Mount Wutai."

This answer made Taoist Mu Jing narrow his eyes slightly. Chu Tai's inheritance was special, and this matter was well known among the Five Scattered People. Therefore, he was not surprised that Chu Tai could calculate some things he didn't know.

Even Chu Tai's divination this time was carried out with Taoist Mu Jing's tacit approval.

It was only because Taoist Mu Jing himself could not see clearly how the situation would change in the future, so he wanted to introduce Chu Tai, a variable who was protected by the Taiyi Immortal Sect, to bring about new changes and make it easier for him to see more information.

Unexpectedly, variables were introduced, but Mu Jing still couldn't see clearly. Instead, Chu Tai, who was originally an outsider, saw more and more.

However, Taoist Mu Jing thinks this is a good thing. The larger the volume of variables introduced, the greater the changes it will bring. The opponent's layout will inevitably be affected, giving him more room for maneuver.

Therefore, after confirming that what Chu Tai said was correct, Taoist Mu Jing immediately began to deduce the cause and effect.

"Wutai? That's right. The cultivation method of the Wutai Mountain lineage is closely related to the five elements. The five of us have obtained the fragments of the "Taixuan Shanggong Five Emperors Subduing Demons Sutra". No matter how many fragments we have, we have inherited part of the Taoist tradition of the Five Elements. For the Wutai Sect, it is the most suitable inheritance system for gathering luck and power..."

Taoist Mu Jing muttered a few words in a low voice and looked at the layout of Baishihe Town. He couldn't help but feel that his original preparations were greatly inadequate.

Seeing Taoist Mu Jing's worry, Chu Tai hurriedly advised, "Fellow Taoist, you don't need to worry too much. The Wutai Sect is currently competing with the Emei Sect. If they openly attack you now, the Emei Sect will definitely be involved. In this situation, the worst case scenario is that the two sects will confront each other. If it is other despicable means, we don't need to be too afraid."

Chu Tai's words did not make Taoist Mu Jing relax. He was more aware of the problem of Baishi River and pointed to the mountains in the west.

"Last month, I felt that the gold energy flowing down the mountain had increased. I thought it was because I had corrected the earth veins that the change occurred. Now I am afraid that someone has ignored the operation of the earth veins and detonated the gold energy in the mountain, intending to target me from the root."

Chu Tai couldn't help but take a breath when he heard this.

This action, if we ignore the negative impact afterwards, can be said to be a death trap for Taoist Mu Jing.

But this move is also very dangerous. After all, the destruction of a place will inevitably cause the fate of the gods and people to sense it. In many cases, before you can take action, there will be more than a dozen successful predecessors waiting to harvest the good deeds. Therefore, in order to achieve this, the planning required is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people, and the layout must be very complicated.

Understanding this, Chu Tai immediately packed up his things with Taoist Mu Jing, and after saying a few words to the other Taoist friends, they set off together, intending to go into the mountains to find out what was going on.

The source of Baishi River is called Luanshi Mountain by the locals because of its heavy metal energy and many rocks.

After Chu Tai and the other person entered, they saw many pieces of gravel containing small amounts of metal scattered everywhere and a faint golden energy flowing. Chu Tai picked up a strand of it and felt that the golden energy was mixed with low-quality earth and dust. Not to mention refining magic weapons, even the ore was not qualified to be used as an instrument.

"For a gold cultivator, there is no need to even collect this kind of gold energy. The effort spent on polishing it after inhaling and exhaling it may not be more convenient than directly transporting the mana..."

Chu Tai shook his head repeatedly, while carefully observing the patterns of the circulation of gold energy around him.

Taoist Mu Jing also waved his sleeves and released a cloud, trying to detect the changes in the gold energy in this place.

In the eyes of the two, the aura here is functioning normally, and the gold energy is the result of the natural volatilization of inferior metals within the mountain.

"No?"

Taoist Mu Jing breathed a sigh of relief and was thinking about leaving some layout here. At this time, Chu Tai silently recited "Lord in the Clouds". A light mist rose and once again revealed some of the information hidden in this place. Then, with the help of "fate", he saw a huge layout.

"This is!"

Chu Tai couldn't help but exclaimed, and Mu Jing hurriedly asked: "Daoyou, what did you see?"

"Hong Yue is not targeting you alone. He wants to sacrifice all the lives within hundreds of miles of Jishan Mountain."

Chu Tai told Taoist Mu Jing the information he had seen, and then began to calculate on the spot and deduce the direction of the surrounding earth veins.

During this period, Chu Tai summarized the information he had obtained from Si Shu Bai in advance.

"The Jishan Mountain Range is located where the veins of the two prefectures intersect, just like two dragons playing with a pearl. The ground energy is rich and there are many spirits inside. In the early years, it was the fiefdom of a large aristocratic family. Later, due to various reasons, the family declined. Before the decline, they collected a large amount of spiritual essence from the mountains, which led to the loss of the ground energy of the veins and the lack of ground energy in the vicinity."

"Although the dynasty later imposed punishment, for some reason, no one mentioned the restoration of the Jishan Mountains, and instead allowed them to repair themselves. This ultimately led to the Shuanglong Xizhu spiritual land, which was originally a place where vitality gathered, becoming an inferior land lacking in spiritual energy."

"The Baishi River where you are, Fellow Daoist Mu Jing, should be the manifestation of the remaining spiritual essence of the earth veins back then. This Luanshi Mountain is probably where the claws of one of the dragons were when the two dragons were playing with the pearl..."

Taoist Mu Jing lived nearby, so he could naturally tell that what Chu Tai said was true, but he was now more curious about Hong Yue's purpose in doing so.

"He wants to sacrifice all living things with blood to repair the earth veins..."

Chu Tai stretched out his hand to outline the direction of the earth veins. Under his description, when the pattern of two dragons playing with a pearl was restored again, the surrounding earth veins changed accordingly, eventually causing the earth veins in many surrounding places to shift slightly, which in turn affected several prefectures.

The most important thing is that under Chu Tai’s depiction, this pattern of two dragons playing with a pearl can also be transformed into the form of a pair of double dragon scissors.

As for the position of the scissors.

Chu Tai looked in the direction where the dragon ball was originally located, comparing it to the place where the two dragons met, and looking in one direction, it was one of the land veins near the former Jinhua Sect's dojo.
