If you don't give up, I'd like to be your adoptive father.

Chapter 1027 Zhang Liang's Excitement
While at the Imperial Observatory in Xianyang, Xiaoyu could monitor the real-time conditions of the land veins and water veins of the Nine Provinces through the "General Map of Mountains and Rivers of the Nine Provinces" of the Weather Bureau.

Wherever there is a large accumulation of chaotic and malevolent forces, she can observe the map and know the affairs of the world.

Before Qin Shi Huang confiscated the true forms of the Five Sacred Mountains and Four Great Rivers and organized immortals to draw the "General Map of the Mountains and Rivers of the Nine Provinces," the celestial masters of the dynasty did not have such favorable conditions.

They must enter a state of communion with heaven and earth for an extended period of time, becoming one with the "heaven and earth" of their own kingdom, and sensing the changes in heaven and earth.

Whether or not you can detect an earthquake depends entirely on your senses.

Whether or not one can accurately predict the extent of flooding in a certain region this year is also based on intuition.

The higher one's cultivation level and the stronger one's talent, the greater the range of perception and the higher the accuracy.

The more a profession relies on talent and skills, the higher its salary and social status will be.

Before the Celestial Masters sect, such people were called "Rain Masters".

Even after the establishment of the Celestial Masters sect, the Grand Tutor and Celestial Master still held a revered position.

Let's not even talk about Grand Tutor Wen from the Investiture of the Gods period.

The first incarnation of Qingsong Daotong—the Celestial Master of Qi State—was also a figure akin to a national advisor.

Until Qin Shi Huang created the "General Map of the Mountains and Rivers of the Nine Provinces".

If one cannot see the landscape map of the Nine Provinces clearly, one can apply to view the true forms of the Five Sacred Mountains and Four Great Rivers, which greatly lowers the threshold for becoming a "qualified Celestial Master".

Even young Taoist disciples like Xiao Linzi can help the "master" with his shifts.

The development of tools and "technology" will always make life and work simpler and more convenient.

However, even with the help of tools, one can still connect with the "General Map of Kyushu Mountains and Rivers," but there is still a layer separating one from the real Kyushu mountains and rivers.

Many details cannot be appreciated from the overall landscape map.

Let's take earthquakes as an example again.

Only when the earth's ley lines accumulate to a sufficiently strong level, strong enough to produce a magnitude 4 earthquake, will they be discovered by the Celestial Master.

Weak ley line activity is difficult to detect on a general landscape map.

The activities of the earth's veins cannot be fully known, let alone the dragon veins hidden deep within the earth, whose secrets are obscured by the "Way of Heaven".

Without conducting on-site investigations, the Great Qin Celestial Master cannot possibly discover the traitor's dragon vein based solely on a general map of mountains and rivers.

Xiaoyu sank deep into the earth, burrowing into the earth's veins.

It transformed into a primordial dragon aura, the ancestral dragon aura of the Great Qin Dynasty.

The aura of the ancestral dragon transformed into the form of a five-clawed true dragon, treating the earth's veins as rivers and flowing freely within them.

In this state, Xiaoyu could clearly feel the fear, closeness, and resistance of the Kyushu Earth Veins towards him.

She is now the First Emperor of Qin, and they naturally hold her in high esteem.

The Great Qin Ancestral Dragon is the "stepmother" of the earth's veins and water veins of the Nine Provinces—an ancestor and mother formed later in life, or simply "stepmother".

Kunlun Mountain is the "ancestor of all mountains," the primordial ancestor and mother.

The Ancestral Dragon is formed by the interaction and combination of the vital energy of all people and the evil energy of the earth's veins; it is an acquired phenomenon.

The status of your "original mother" will not change. Once your mother gave birth to you, she will be your mother for life. However, your "stepmother" can change. This year, the Qinling Mountains are the stepmother of the land veins of China. Next year, the Qin Dynasty will fall, the position of the dragon veins will change, and the stepmother will also change.

There is another important difference between the Kunlun Mountain Ancestral Dragon and the Qinling Ancestral Dragon: the Kunlun Ancestral Dragon is merely the "ancestor of mountains," the ancestor of human mountain ranges; the Qinling Ancestral Dragon is not only the ancestor of mountain ranges, but also the "stepmother" of the land of China, encompassing the earth's veins, mountain ranges, and water veins, but its scope is limited to the land of China.

Even if the Qinling Zulong is a "stepmother", a stepmother is still a "mother".

The land veins of Kyushu must have some affection for this stepmother.

Unfortunately, this stepmother had been too harsh on her children in the past, and now "God" has made it clear that he intends to divorce her and remarry a "new stepmother".

These children of the Kyushu land veins naturally also despise and hate their "former stepmother".

The Kyushu ley lines harbored resistance, and even though Xiaoyu, who had transformed into a "stepmother's agent," traversed the ley lines, she still could not deeply connect with them.

Her perception is limited and lacks clarity.

She manipulated the corpse of the Ancestral Dragon in the Qinling Mountains, spreading her senses to all parts of the Nine Provinces, as if touching the bodies (pulse) of the people (earth veins) of the Nine Provinces through a down jacket.

It's like someone with 800 degrees of myopia taking off their glasses to look at the naked bodies of the people of Kyushu, 10 meters away.

Touching your body through the thick down jacket, you can definitely feel it.

If you take off your glasses and stare at your body carefully, you can see some things.

But ultimately, it's better to reach inside the down jacket and feel around.

Why not just lean closer and take a closer look?

At this moment, Xiaoyu transformed into a "stepmother's agent," personally burrowing into the earth's veins, which was equivalent to putting her hand inside a down jacket and bringing her head close to it.

However, the resistance of the land veins of Kyushu was like wearing a thick wool sweater under a down jacket.

"Alas, the Great Qin has truly lost its Mandate of Heaven. I have only just left the Guanzhong region and have now entered the Sanchuan Commandery, the frontier of Guanzhong. The resistance and hatred of the earth's veins are already so strong. What will happen when I reach the old Chu lands in the southeast?"

Xiaoyu reached under the down jacket and found not only a wool sweater, but also a thermal undershirt underneath.

If you go to the Chu region, you'll have to change from a wool sweater to a thick sweater, or even wear a thick sweater over a wool sweater.
How can she diagnose a patient by taking their pulse?

On this trip, she not only wanted to feel the pulse of the land's veins, but also to penetrate deep into the flesh, touch the bones, touch the internal organs, and even touch the soul.

Xiaoyu sighed, but didn't complain or blame others.

She began to earnestly and diligently help Sanchuan County dredge its earth veins, mountains, and waterways.

Yes, it's like helping a patient regulate their body by taking their pulse.

At the same time, she also activated her own "Hall of Enlightenment".

The Mingxin Palace, formed by the "Righteousness Technique," is essentially the true nature she has found.

The first stage of attaining Buddhahood is to find one's true nature.

Find them all, and you will become a Buddha.

Because it is their true nature, they would never lie.

Xiaoyu spread her "stepmotherly heart" through the Mingxin Hall—it's like taking a megaphone to the community, providing free medical consultations while promoting the organization's determination to serve the people.

When the Hall of Bright Mind resides within her own heart, it will shower upon her heart a pure golden light, cleansing away all distracting, evil, and wicked thoughts, ensuring that her heart remains forever bright and pure, and that she will never lose her true nature.

Now, the Mingxin Hall is like a lantern hanging on the forehead of the "Five-Clawed Little Ancestral Dragon," illuminating the surrounding earth veins.

These glories are all from her true heart; they don't lie.

Well, using a loudspeaker to promote political ideas might arouse suspicion from the residents of the community, but she directly reveals her true feelings, so no one can doubt her.

Her "stepmotherly heart" refers to the theory she told Li Si and Wei Liaozi at the Imperial Observatory that "the ancestral dragon is not a dragon vein, but the earth mother."

—To embrace rather than regard as aliens, to protect rather than harm and oppress, to be sincere rather than treacherous and vicious.
Her sincerity fell upon the earth, and the earth felt it, gradually recognizing and accepting her.

In a daze, Xiaoyu seemed to have returned to her childhood, back to the Sand Dune tribe.

She usurped the chieftainship from the "unwise and incompetent Sha Tou," changed Sha Tou's brutal policy of killing the "wild sand barbarians," and sincerely accepted the sand barbarians from outside as the official "Sand Dune Tribes."

Provide them with shelter and protect their children from harm.

This allows them to farm and hunt, have enough to eat, and have surplus grain at home.

Now, she travels through the ley lines of Sanchuan County, using the Mingxin Hall to shower down the light of true sincerity, while simultaneously clearing the ley lines, suppressing the chaotic evil spirits, and repairing the damaged land.

She didn't even use the Taoist technique "Mountain and Water Refining Spirit" to fake the aura of "local native mountain peaks and earth veins" to deceive them.

Gradually, Xiaoyu's hand slipped inside her sweater. Gradually, her hand slipped inside her thermal underwear, touching Sanchuan County's warm and soft body.

Gradually, she touched places that other celestial masters could never reach—the bones, organs, and even the soul of Sanchuan County.

She felt a connection with the "earth spirit" of Sanchuan County, a connection that defied description.

It's not just simple joy and exhilaration.

She experienced all the emotions that had settled within the earth's veins—the bittersweetness, the joys and sorrows, the warmth and coldness of human relationships, the separations and deaths.

Xiaoyu is unaware of the passage of time.

Having thoroughly understood the body and soul of Sanchuan County, she naturally arrived in the neighboring Yingchuan County by following the earth's veins.

This time it was much better than in Sanchuan County.

He immediately made her put her hand inside her underwear and directly touch the rough, hard skin of the earth.

She restored and repaired the land of Yingchuan County, and then her "soft and loving little hands" touched the heart and soul of Yingchuan County.

She discovered a thin gold thread in the heart of Yingchuan County.

"It's a dragon vein!"

Xiaoyu's instinctive intuition was faster than her reason and experience in making judgments.

Suddenly, it became clear.

Realizing that she had discovered him, the thin golden thread immediately shrank into a ball, revealing a human-like fear and panic.

Without saying a word, Xiaoyu immediately aimed "Mingxin Hall" at that area and showered it with her "benevolent stepmother's radiance".

The tiny golden thread seemed to be confused for a moment, then gradually stretched out, transforming from a small dot back into a line—from a burrow into a vein, a dragon vein.

The "Five-Clawed Ancestral Dragon (Qinling Mountains)" that Xiaoyu transformed into also traveled along the earth's veins to help the small dragon vein clear away the evil spirits and gather its scattered faint dragon energy in one place.

"Why is there still so much decaying dragon energy left here?"

Xiaoyu was surprised to find that Xiaolong resembled a maggot, born from a piece of "rotten flesh".

Around it, some decaying and stagnant dragon energy still lingers in the earth's veins.

The deathly aura and decay far surpassed that of the Qinling Ancestral Dragon of the Qin Dynasty.

She was puzzled, so she immediately peeked out and confirmed the location of the dragon vein.

"Yingchuan Prefecture, Yangdi City, outside the city, should be the Funiu Mountains."

Xiaoyu's heart stirred, and she suddenly realized, "This is the dragon vein of the State of Han during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods!"
The old dragon is dead, and the new dragons rise from its corpse.

The remaining corpse energy of the old dragon not only nourished the little dragon, but also concealed its secrets from outsiders, preventing them from discovering it.

Even if they sensed a faint dragon aura within Mount Funiu, they would mistakenly believe it to be remnants of the early Ji clan's Han king lineage.

“Since the dragon vein originated from the corpse of the old Korean dragon, then the one who rebelled and became king in Yeongcheon must be a descendant of the Korean royal family.”

Xiaoyu did a quick calculation and even figured out the identity of the rebels.

"Han Cheng is plotting a rebellion!"

This conclusion is not based on mere speculation.

She already possessed a wealth of information, such as who the descendants of the King of Han were, and who was the most talented and famous.

Even without using divination techniques, a few "cobblers" can still analyze the situation fairly well by simply discussing it.

"Unfortunately, the old dragon was just a piece of remains. With such a small body, he relied on the blessings of his ancestors and was simply living off his past achievements."

He has no merits and has never made any contribution to the world or the people of Korea.

What can such a tiny dragon do?

As soon as Xiaoyu had a thought in her heart, the Mingxin Palace immediately projected her "sincere heart" into the small dragon vein in the form of pure light.

The dragon vein conveyed sorrow and fear.

Xiaoyu felt even more sorry for it, "Alas, it was born with deficiencies and was also unlucky. What can be done!"

Xiaoyu left the earth, observed the topography of the Funiu Mountains, and then swam around the nearby Ying River.

Finally, she returned to the earth's veins and came to the front of the Funiu Mountain dragon vein. Through the "Light of True Heart," she taught the little dragon the "Ox Lying on the Ying River Formation."

Xiao Long instinctively and extremely smoothly assumed the "Ox Lying Down on the Ying River" posture.

Similar to the "Nine Bends of the Yellow River" formation that Xiaoyu helped Qinling Zulong create.

These are all cultivation methods related to dragon veins.

Treat the dragon vein as a person, and let it combine with the surrounding forces of heaven and earth to form a "posture" that is extremely in harmony with the forces of heaven and earth.

Xiaolong in South Korea is located in the Funiu Mountains, surrounded by the Ying River, thus fitting the description of "a cow lying on the Ying River".

It can't learn the "Nine Bends of the Yellow River" technique; it lacks the "divine bones" and the "divine blessings."

The Qinling Mountains are the ancestral dragon vein. Today, it is arranged in the form of the Yellow River with nine bends. Tomorrow, Xiaoyu will help adjust it into the form of the Five Sacred Mountains.

It can afford it, and it can do it.

The night after South Korea's Xiaolong set up the "Ox Lying Down on the Ying River" formation.

Zhang Liang, who lived in Xiapi, had a dream that night.

In his dream, there was a handsome and dignified old man with white hair who made him feel both close to him and inexplicably in awe.

"Zifang, return to Mount Funiu immediately! The dragon vein of our Great Han Kingdom has changed!"

Zhang Liang was bewildered and didn't quite understand, but he subconsciously asked, "Where is the dragon vein, and what changes have occurred?"

The old man said, "Go find Young Master Cheng; he will lead you to find the dragon vein. As for the unexpected turn of events, I am not aware of them either."

Last night, King Hui urgently summoned me to court and told me that the dragon vein of the Great Han Dynasty had been discovered.

He felt both joy and unease.

"It's understandable to feel uneasy when someone discovers your dragon vein, so why are you happy?" Zhang Liang asked again.

"Your Majesty feels that the dragon vein has become stronger and cleaner, and is no longer filled with the corpse energy and evil spirits of the old dragon."

I felt inexplicably joyful, but I didn't know why. That's why I asked you to go and investigate, to find out the reason," the old man said.

Zhang Liang asked curiously, "Since you are becoming stronger and your dragon energy is much purer, this is an auspicious sign. Why are you worried?"

The old man grew impatient, kicked him, and shouted, "Hey, you brat, how dare you make such a racket! The tyrannical Qin Dynasty is about to fall, and you're still wandering around outside. What kind of behavior is this?"

Zhang Liang was kicked to the ground, his body rolling a few times before "thump!"

I fell off the bed.

"Oh dear, I'm practically an immortal, why am I still having nightmares—"

He clutched the back of his head and cried out, then suddenly realized what was happening. "Father, is that you? Father, are you still there?"

The room was quiet and dark; no one answered him.

"It must be my father appearing to me in a dream. But Yingchuan is right next to Sanchuan County, and Li You is commanding 100,000 troops stationed in Sanchuan. Who would dare to make a move? If I go back now... Hmm, is there some change in the dragon vein? Has the King of Han raised another dragon vein?"

Zhang Liang became excited, "With the dragon vein, there is hope for the restoration of our Great Han!"
