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

Chapter 1060 Waiting for the rabbit to run into the tree stump, a bumper harvest.
Although Fuqiu Gong inwardly disliked Meng Qi for his lack of spiritual attainment.

Now, when the group went to see Yu Fengxian, he was the first to find Meng Qi.

Mengqi is not far from Sishui County, just next to Suiyang, the capital of Dang County.

They were also guests at the home of Song Xiangong, the "landlord" of Suiyang.

"Why aren't you going back to Qinghe? What are you doing here?" Fuqiu Gong asked in surprise.

Meng Qi's hometown and Daoist temple are both in Qinghe County. Of course, Meng Qi's place of cultivation is located in the Zhongjie Cave Heaven "above" Qinghe County.

Fuqiu Gong had always believed that Meng Qi had returned to Qinghe County after leaving Xianyang.

"I am helping Duke Xiang find a treasure trove for raising dragons so that his descendants can revive the Song Dynasty."

Meng Qi was also a little surprised by his old friend's sudden visit, but he still answered his friend's questions first.

Fuqiu Gong looked utterly bewildered and said, "Revive the Great Song? The great calamity of heaven and earth has been underway for ten years now, and you're only now thinking about raising dragons? Isn't it too late?"

"Alas, now that the Qin Dynasty is about to perish, the states of Yan, Zhao, Han, and Wei have all shown hope for a revival. Duke Xiang of Song is envious and regrets that he acted too late, thus missing this excellent opportunity."

We had no choice but to settle for second best and hope we could catch up next time.

"Well, let's find a treasure trove first, and nurture it for several thousand years. Then the 'Great Song' might still have hope," Meng Qi said.

Fuqiu Gong chuckled and said, "He doesn't understand, but don't you understand either?"

The descendants of the royal families of the six kingdoms in Shandong were able to raise dragon veins and hidden dragons again, mostly thanks to the blessings of their ancestors.

However, the State of Song was originally a descendant of the ancient Shang Dynasty.

After the fall of the Shang Dynasty, Wei Zi Qi was able to rebuild the country and continue the ancestral temples and altars, all thanks to the blessings of his ancestors.

The Song state has already exhausted the remaining fortune of the Shang dynasty; how could it possibly leave any blessings for a 'third generation'?

The Shang dynasty was the father, and the Song state was the son. The son squandered all of the father's wealth, leaving nothing for his grandson.

This is why Xiaoyu searched all over Dang County and found many dragon veins, but none of them belonged to the descendants of Duke Xiang.

They don't work hard, they lack talent, and they only want to live off their past achievements, but they have no more ancestral blessings to enjoy.

Meng Qi said, "It's not that Duke Xiang doesn't understand. He knows that the legacy of the Shang Dynasty has long been exhausted, so from now on, he is starting to build up a fortune for his descendants."

First, find a propitious place with good feng shui, and slowly nurture it for thousands or tens of thousands of years.

He himself would also strive to accumulate merit in secret, building a foundation for his descendants.

"The blessings of a virtuous person will only last five generations; he's just indulging in wishful thinking. It's one thing for him to have such delusions, but why are you still going along with his nonsense?" Fuqiu Gong asked.

Meng Qi's eyes flickered as he said, "I am different from you. You only seek to obey the will of Heaven, while I must support the Dragon Court and earn some human fortune."

Only by supporting the true emperor and gaining sufficient protection from the dynasty's fortune can I cleanse myself of karma and evil deeds.

"You expect Duke Xiang of Song to help you find the true Son of Heaven?" Fuqiu Gong said with amusement.

Meng Qi shook his head and said, "I don't need anyone's help, I've already found it."

The Jing family of Dang County has a son named Jing Ju, who seems to have the makings of an emperor.

Duke Xiang was a local bigwig in Dang Commandery, and no one knew the Jing family or Jing Ju better than him.

He was just helping me gather information about Jingju and keep an eye on the Jing family's movements to see when they would start something.

I've been studying the dragon veins of the Jing family in Mangdang Mountain recently.

While surveying the terrain and feng shui of Mangdang Mountain along the Jing family's dragon vein, we also took the opportunity to report back to Xiang Gong and find a few good burial sites along the way that might nurture a dragon vein.

It's quite peculiar, really.

Before Yu Fengxian set up the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array on Mangdang Mountain, we didn't discover anything unusual about Mangdang.

The more I study it, the more I realize that the Mangdang Mountains and marshes are extraordinary.

It has mountains and waters, corresponds to the stars in the sky, conforms to the seasons, and calms the hearts of the people.

It's entirely possible that they could raise an 'imperial dragon'.

Yu Fengxian is lucky and has good eyesight.

This was her first time visiting Shenzhou, specifically Sishui County, and she immediately discovered and utilized the wonders of Dangshan.

Fuqiu Gong's eyes flickered slightly, and he said, "Stop researching the 'Emperor's Dragon Vein' for now. Come with me to Sishui County and do me a small favor; it's related to Yu Fengxian."

He quickly recounted the events at Fuli to Meng Qi.

Meng Qi was both shocked and hesitant.

"She really suppressed the Tianzhu Peak cultivator group with a single move? More than forty people, including fellow cultivators from the valley?"

Fuqiu Gongdao said, "I don't know how many moves she used, but the battle ended in an instant."

Before I noticed the anomaly, no conflict had occurred.

By the time my heart was touched, they had already been suppressed, and it was too late to rescue them.

However, most of those people were spirits separated from their bodies, without physical bodies, and did not carry any magical treasures.

Yu Fengxian controlled the power over the land and the divine domain of the City God.

This shift in power allowed her to succeed.

After a pause, Fuqiu Gong admitted with an unnatural expression, "I was uneasy and felt that I might encounter danger if I ventured alone into the City God's Office of Fuli, so I came to find you."

Besides you, I also sent messages to Dong Ye, Li Futu, and Guo Qiong.

They'll be here soon; with the five of us together, there's no chance of anything going wrong.

Meng Qi was shocked again, "For the sake of Yu Fengxian and Chen Sheng, you 'Four Friends of Qionglin' ​​have actually gathered together?"

Fuqiu Gong disagreed, saying, "Don't talk about the Four Friends of Qionglin. In the past, didn't we often get together to recite poems and sing songs while drinking wine?"

"Past gatherings are ultimately different from today's gathering to face Yu Fengxian. You four great immortals who are about to attain the Great Luo realm are targeting Yu Fengxian."

Meng Qi looked conflicted and said, "Old friend, I myself don't want to see her again."

You really don't need to deal with her with hostility just because of Chen Sheng.

Fuqiu Gong sighed and said, "It's not just for Chen Sheng. You know my plan."

Before Ying Zheng passed away, I began preparing for this great calamity.

I don't expect the entire catastrophe to unfold; every detail is under my control.

At least the number of days I'm pushing forward cannot be interrupted or modified by anyone.

Nezha, the Third Prince, said that wherever Yu Fengxian appears, the predetermined fate will change, and it is most likely related to her.

The Purple Star Emperor fully agreed with this judgment.

Therefore, I had no choice but to meet her.

Today she unexpectedly captured Chen Sheng, what will she do tomorrow?

"We can't let her continue to ruin the established order after today's experience, until she completely overturns the chessboard before I finally realize what's happening, can we?"

Meng Qi's expression changed slightly, and he quickly said, "Brother Dao, you don't need to worry that Yu Fengxian will affect your plans."

Yu Fengxian's destiny in this great calamity was simply to lead the Ying clan westward.

She won't participate in the grand drama of heroes vying for power across the Nine Provinces; she'd rather avoid it altogether. I don't know how much I had to gull to get her to accept the position of Grand Tutor.

She has been avoiding getting deeply involved in this catastrophe.

Your worry that she'll overturn the chessboard is completely unnecessary; she's incapable of doing so.

Fuqiu Gong asked, "Then what about Chen Sheng's matter today?"

Meng Qi hesitated, then said, "She's not trying to kill Chen Sheng."

“Just as the prophecy ‘The Great Chu will rise, and Chen Sheng will be king’ was spreading, and Chen Sheng’s fortunes were soaring, she struck him hard, damaging his prestige and beliefs. It was almost the same as killing him,” said Fuqiu Gongdao.

“We still don’t know what happened! There’s probably some misunderstanding,” Meng Qi said.

Fuqiu Gongdao said, "I didn't gather you all to kill Yu Fengxian. I just used a combination of soft and hard tactics—if you were soft, I would persuade her with kind words; if we were hard, we would show our strength and let her know what's going on."

Meng Qi was speechless. "Should we wait for Li Futu and the others to arrive so we can go to Fuli County together, or should I go and persuade her to release Chen Sheng first, and then we can talk?"

Fuqiu Gongdao said, "Let's go together! If we go together, we'll make a great scene."

Meng Qi said, "Yu Fengxian is very smart; there's no need to use force to intimidate or warn her."

"The momentum was created for Chen Sheng, not to suppress her. The hidden dragon is not afraid of failure, but of lacking foundation."

We must act as the foundation for Chen Sheng, and rebuild his and his followers' faith. — Fuqiu Gongdao

Meng Qi frowned and said, "Why bother? Chen Sheng is clearly not the true Son of Heaven."

Are you now serving as his foundation, and will you always be his support in the future?

"We are immortals who have descended the mountain to uphold the mandate of heaven, not to support the imperial court, nor are we anyone's subordinates."

After today, I will continue to keep an eye on Tianzhu Peak, but Chen Sheng and I may never have the chance to meet again.

Our appearance to save him proves that destiny has ordained him. That is enough,” said Fuqiu Gongdao.

In fact, what he is doing now is similar to what the Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect did in the early days of the Investiture of the Gods.

Although the great immortals of the Chan Sect would occasionally assist Jiang Taigong, they would not remain stationed in the military camp. Like Yang Jian and Nezha, they would directly hold military positions and nominally be subordinates of Jiang Taigong.

The Xiqi army is in trouble. Can the Golden Immortal of the Chan Sect help? He can either send a magic weapon or go down the mountain in person to help, and then return to his own cave after he has finished.

The only difference is that during the great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods, Xiqi and Chaoge were clearly distinguished as "black and white," and there was no need to gamble on the true dragon.

"The phoenix sings in Qishan" is a blatant omen.

The Mandate of Heaven has always been in Xiqi, and in the Zhou Dynasty army led by Jiang Ziya.

At this time, the true dragon has hidden itself, Qin has lost its deer, and the whole world is chasing after it.

In different periods of time, the protagonists of the Qin-Han catastrophe were different.

For example, in the current version 1.0, the main characters are Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, while Xiang Yu and Liu Ji are not even considered supporting characters. The main supporting characters are Chen Sheng's underlings.

In version 2.0, the main characters will be changed to heroes such as Xiang Liang, Tian Dan (in the original history, Tian Dan had already passed away by this time), and Zhang Han.

In versions 3.0 and 4.0, the main storyline shifted to the Chu-Han Contention, with Liu Bang and Xiang Yu as the main characters.

The path taken by powerful figures like Fuqiu Gong has never changed—he simply follows the will of Heaven.

The version has been updated, the main characters have changed, and they have also changed factions. But you can't really say "factions" because they don't have any factions; they only stand on the side of "destiny."

During the Investiture of the Gods, the Mandate of Heaven remained in Xiqi and did not need to be changed.

If the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect were to travel to the present day, they would have to help Chen Sheng today, and then help Xiang Yu after Chen Sheng's "historical mission" (destiny) ends; and then help Liu Laosan after Xiang Yu begins to "act perversely".

Chen Sheng was captured at the Fuli City God Temple at midnight yesterday.

The moment he was buried in the pit, many powerful figures in the Three Realms who were watching the Qin-Han calamity suddenly felt a sense of unease.

If Lord Fuqiu had descended upon the City God's office back then, King Chen Sheng wouldn't have been punished!

Perhaps this will save them from a severe beating.

However, Fuqiu Gong's state of mind, "on the verge of severing the three corpses," sensed a faint unease.

Faced with the extremely low probability of his own downfall versus the certainty of Chen Sheng's humiliation and torture, he chose the latter: let Qiushan Laomu torment Chen Sheng while he went to the Heavenly Court to gather intelligence and find help, so that his own safety would not be threatened in the slightest.

Yes, this is the style of a true master.

Forget about saving face, forget about the big picture, it's all meaningless. Nothing is more important than your own life.

By the time the "Five Heroes of the Western Zhou Dynasty" met outside Fuli County, it was past noon and almost the afternoon of the next day.

To be honest, "Old Mother Qiushan" had been waiting impatiently for a long time.

If it weren't for the sword immortal Zuoqiu acting as a scout to inform her that Lord Fuqiu was approaching, she would have closed the case and run away immediately.

"It's taken a bit too long!" Meng Qi glanced at the sun and muttered, "Yu Fengxian hasn't left the City God's Office yet?"
Given her personality, she probably wouldn't have had that much patience for Chen Sheng and his men.

Fuqiu Gong sneered, “She’s waiting for me! Last night I arranged for Zuoqiu to go to the City God’s Office to see her, and asked him to stall for time as much as possible so that Chen Sheng wouldn’t be humiliated.”

It's still unknown how effective Zuoqiu's move will be.

But Yu Fengxian must already know I'm coming to see her.

Li Futu exclaimed in surprise, "Yu Fengxian knows you're going to cause her trouble, yet she still dares to wait for you so calmly?"

Hasn't she heard of your title, "Number One Swordsman of China"?

Fuqiu Gong blushed, a look of embarrassment flashing in his eyes, and waved his hand, saying, "Don't mention 'the number one sword in China' anymore, that's ancient history."

Guo Qiong, who looked like a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy, laughed and said, "If Yu Fengxian were a cautious person, he would definitely have found out about the story of how the 'Number One Swordsman of China' fought against the various Dao Palaces of China 100,000 years ago and was invincible among his peers."

"We're already at the door, what are you waiting for? Let's go!"

Dong Ye waved his hand lightly, opening the Yin-Yang Path in front of the immortals. He stepped in first, saying casually, "As you all know, my 'Nine-Turn Bone-Changing Pill' has been refined for eighty-one years."

The ninth reincarnation is about to be completed.

I'm afraid my two fire- tending boys aren't capable of perfectly collecting the pills. I need to hurry back—damn it, you guys~~"

Before he could finish speaking, he had already entered the underworld. His feet had barely touched the ground when he nearly crashed into a thick wall of people.

He cried out in surprise, took two steps back, and looked closely. He saw a fully armored ghost general staring at him with a wide grin and bright eyes.

Behind the ghost general, there were more than a dozen ghost messengers, lined up neatly, like a wall of flesh.

"Little God Song Hu pays respects to the Great Immortal Father."

Before he could get angry, the ghost general pushed over the mountain of gold and the jade pillar, and knelt down to bow respectfully.

Dong Ye composed himself and was about to say something when the ghost messengers behind the ghost general, as if they had undergone professional training, knelt down in unison and shouted, "This humble god respectfully welcomes the arrival of the immortal father! We wish the immortal father a long life and abundant blessings!"

"Alright, alright, get up!" Dong Ye said irritably.

He initially thought his old friend was making a mountain out of a molehill.

What danger could a mere phlox emanate from him?

He was still thinking this before entering the City God's Office.

But at this moment, after entering the underworld, the peace and tranquility in his heart inexplicably disappeared.

Like a small pebble falling onto a still lake, causing ripples that disturb the tranquility of the water.

Song Hu was overjoyed: This guy is indeed a great immortal, a super immortal, surpassing ordinary golden immortals!
No wonder he was able to refine the Nine-Turn Bone-Changing Pill, and it took him eighty-one years to refine it. The ninth revolution is almost complete. I'm rich! The Nine-Turn Bone-Changing Pill that I've been looking forward to for so many years is finally coming to fruition!
