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

Chapter 862 Liu Ji's Lifeline
The clairvoyance can peer into the heavens and see into the underworld.

Even if there are scenery blocking the view, it will not be affected.

For example, standing on a hillside five hundred miles away, looking at the Dragon Palace of Zhaoyang Lake in the distance.

But you can use your magical powers to watch from thousands of miles away, and others can also use their magical powers to detect your sight and block it.

At this time, Xiao Yu's old acquaintance opened his clairvoyance and sent his divine light here. She reacted instinctively and immediately raised her hand to set up a water mirror to reflect the divine light of the immortal eyes that fell on her and Xi Juan back.

She was all too familiar with clairvoyance.

Since ten years ago, when he hadn't even mastered the inner strength, he had deduced countless assassination methods and had broken through the Clairvoyance over and over again.

Well, against the clairvoyance ability, assassination is more difficult than forced killing.

Ten years later, she even killed two celestial beings, so blocking the sight of the immortal's eyes was really a piece of cake for her.

She can use a water mirror to easily block the light of the immortal eyes. The old dragon of Zhaoyang Lake is also powerful, so he can naturally detect any abnormalities.

In fact, as early as when Xiaoyu was looking at the energy in the Dragon Palace and trying hard to analyze the source of the strong dragon energy, the master of the Chixiao Palace had already sensed it.

However, Xiaoyu hid well and his qi-reading technique was too advanced. The Dragon King was only annoyed and did not notice that someone was spying outside the Dragon Palace.

The clairvoyance of Xiaoyu's old acquaintance is a bit crude. In fact, compared with ten years ago, it is more than ten times better, but the tenfold improvement is only relative to his original "more crude state".

In front of Long Jun and Xiao Yu, he still doesn't look good enough.

"Oh no, the old dragon has discovered us!" Seeing a beam of red light rushing out of the Dragon Palace and a majestic voice rolling towards them, Xi Juan thought he had revealed his tracks.

Xiao Yu shook his head and said, “Old Dragon didn’t notice us, he, like me, also noticed the clairvoyance’s scan.

The owner of the Clairvoyance must have intentionally scanned the Zhaoyang Lake Dragon Palace."

Before she finished her words, the red light that rushed to the surface of the water had already "whoosh" passed over their heads and continued to rush towards the west.

Xiao Yu held Xi Juan's head and stuffed him into the mud at the bottom of the water, and said, "Just stay here and I'll be back soon."

After saying that, she pinched the water-avoiding gesture with her left hand, and stretched out her right hand like a paddle, gently paddling the bubble a few times. The bubble was silent, but as fast as lightning, and disappeared from Xi Juan's perception in the next moment.

"It really is the 'Red Sky Palace'."

Out of Xi Juan's sight, Xiao Yu no longer disguised himself and melted directly into the water, like a clear stream, flowing along the water veins to the gate of Dragon Palace.

On the ten-meter-high building sign, there is a huge sky-blue plaque.

Using "ink" as red as Danxia, ​​he wrote three "dragon characters" in a flamboyant style, "Chixiao Palace".

The sect building and the three words on the plaque alone gave Xiaoyu a heavy sense of history.

This Dragon Palace, this plaque, and even the three characters "Chixiao Palace" have all experienced the sedimentation of a long time. They are not newly built, nor are they newly written.

She turned into a stream of water and followed the patrolling shrimp soldiers through the gate and into the palace. Immediately, a sense of antiquity and vicissitudes of life hit her in the face.

The buildings inside are very old, and are obviously far from the current Qin style.

There is a sense of wildness.

Xiao Yu had had a similar feeling in Danhua Palace in Xiaoyoudongtian. However, Daze Dragon Palace also had a history of tens of thousands of years, but it felt very "modern" to her.

After wandering around the outskirts of the Dragon Palace, Xiaoyu not only felt the ancient atmosphere and ancient buildings, but also clearly felt that the water veins beneath the Dragon Palace contained vibrant vitality.

Without hesitation, she transformed from a clear stream into a turbid air, burrowed into the mud, and then drilled into the underground water veins further down.

"Cool!"

"Refreshing!"

“So refreshing!”

Xiaoyu felt so comfortable that she wanted to moan, as the underground water veins contained such a rich and pure spiritual power.

It is not water-attributed spiritual power, but rather "spiritual energy of heaven and earth" that has no specific attributes.

The level of spiritual energy was far higher than the "fairy energy" she felt in Xiaoyou Cave that day.

Even among the eight Eastern immortals killed by Xiaoyu, only two of them had immortal spirits, which was obviously purer than the spiritual energy of heaven and earth here.

Xiaoyu also went to the Queen Mother's Yaochi Garden, where she sensed and absorbed the spiritual energy.

But how to say it? The fairy air of Yaochi is a bit like the "compound fertilizer" in fairy air, which is most suitable for spiritual plants. It is also high-end for immortals, but it can't be said to be very "cool".

The spiritual energy here makes people feel extremely comfortable. Soaking in the water veins, Xiaoyu wants to lie down completely and not go out.

"The dragon tribe of Gou Xia, the essence of the world, has been occupied by these reptiles. Do you want to settle down here with Xi Juan?"

Xiaoyu has not been to a real cave paradise (Xiaoyou Cave Paradise is actually a blessed land), but she can guarantee that the weather and spiritual energy here are richer than those in the cave paradise.

If there is no bottleneck, just looking at the efficiency of Qi refining, one year of cultivation in the water veins here is equivalent to her three to five hundred years of cultivation in Tianmen Town! And it is not limited to water-based immortal arts, any attribute of immortal arts can be refined here.

It's so scary!
No wonder Xiaoyu couldn't help but be greedy.

"Strange, it's clearly an underground water vein, why is there such pure spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and not just water spiritual energy?"

After all, Xiaoyu was an "expert" with an eighteen-level high state of mind. He immediately eliminated greed, jealousy and other distracting thoughts in his heart, and swam quickly towards the direction with richer spiritual energy.

Even though she went underground, she did not lose her sense of direction.

She had a feeling that the direction where spiritual energy was richer was the deepest part of the Dragon Palace.

After swimming for about two or three hundred feet, she came to a spiritual power lake. In addition to the underground water vein she came from, there were eight different water veins around.

There are a total of nine water veins, flowing from distant lakes to this place and converging together.

But the convergence of the nine meridians is not the end.

Where the nine veins converge is a deep pool.

There was a flickering red light at the bottom of the deep pool, and a faint flame power was revealed in the red light.

It's very strange. It's obviously nine water veins converging, but they have developed the "fire nature".

The fire nature is mixed with a strong dragon energy.

"Could the deep pool below be the old dragon's lair? He has been hiding there practicing for years? Well, the old dragon was attracted away by the Clairvoyance, so it's a good opportunity for me to go down and take a look."

Xiaoyu had an idea and took action immediately.

She simultaneously used the two great water escape techniques of Kunpeng and Ancient Dragon (physical water escape using the power of water), like a sharp sword, quickly piercing into the bright red bottom of the pool below.

"Hiss, such a strong spiritual power, even the spiritual energy of the fairy fruit from Madam Danhua's house cannot compare to it. This is no longer the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but the spiritual essence of heaven and earth!"

Xiao Yu took a breath, and the spiritual energy that entered his seven orifices almost turned into liquid.

It's like sucking the juice of the thousand-year-old red fruit.

For a moment, she couldn't tell whether it was pool water or some special spiritual fluid.

When I fell to the bottom of the pool and looked around, I saw a huge open space, about the size of three football fields connected in parallel. The ground was flat and covered with a whole piece of red crystal.

But the bright red light did not come from the "artificial (dragon-made) spiritual crystal" but from the surrounding "crater walls".

The pool seemed to be in a "crater". The surrounding stone walls were flashing brilliant red light, revealing the nature of fire, but it was not pure fire elemental energy.

It was still pure heaven and earth energy, but the fire was mixed with a lot of dragon energy. "Damn it, this dragon energy didn't come from the Dragon King, there's a dragon vein hidden here!"

When Xiaoyu burrowed into the red stone wall, he immediately "saw" its essence.

It is the dragon vein of humanity, not the dragon energy of the Dragon King.

If you ignore the source, the dragon energy emanating from the Dragon King is somewhat similar to the dragon energy gushing out of the dragon veins, but Xiaoyu can easily distinguish them.

The reason why they couldn't be distinguished at the first sight was that the old dragon had lived here for many years, and the dragon energy on his body coexisted and prospered with the dragon energy of this place, and they were somewhat indistinguishable from each other.

But as long as Xiaoyu sees the source of the dragon energy, he can still confirm its essence.

It is the dragon vein of the Humane Dynasty.

At this moment, the dragon vein seemed to sense the outsider, and the dragon energy rushed towards her, like a little dragon with life, roaring at her and almost breaking her earth escape technique.

Well, just like the dragon energy in Kunlun’s ancestor dragon, the dragon energy here will also seriously interfere with immortal magic and Taoist techniques.

In fact, all dragon energy will have a suppressive effect on immortal magic.

What one cultivates to become an immortal is the pure and abundant energy. The dragon veins are the combination of the turbid energy of the earth and the energy of humanity.

The turbid and evil energy is opposite to the clear and abundant energy and is incompatible.

“What a huge dragon vein—er, no, the dragon vein seems to have just been born, it’s very small, but the aura is very strong.

The newly born dragon vein has such a huge dragon energy. With this kind of potential, is it possible to give birth to a human emperor?"

In an instant, Xiaoyu's emotions boiled over and many things ran through her mind.

She first recalled that when she was in the Donghu military camp at Juyongguan, she listened to Yuwen Bo, Huo Yixian and others chatting about the ancestral dragon vein of the Qin Dynasty in the Qinling Mountains.

At that time, the emperor was at the peak of his power, and the dragon energy of the Great Qin formed a nine-colored cloud over the Qinling Mountains, which lasted for years. The dragon energy made the Qinling Mountains a holy place for cultivation, gathering a vast amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth.

A large number of Qigong practitioners gathered in Qinling Mountains, breathing in the air and concentrating their spirits in the mountains. Every few years, an immortal ascended to heaven. A messenger from the heavenly court, with a magnificent guard of honor, descended on Qinling Mountains and invited the new immortals to serve as immortal officials in heaven.

The underground pool at this time is almost a replica of the Qinling Mountains.

Before, she was still wondering why there was not much water spiritual power in the water veins, but only pure spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Now she understood that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was only dissolved in the water veins, and was not brought by the water veins.

It is the dragon vein that gathers the spiritual energy of heaven and earth here.

"As expected of China, the 'dragon vein' that was just born through the fusion of water and fire is just a wild dragon, not necessarily a real dragon, but it can gather such rich spiritual essence of heaven and earth.

Compared to it, the Barbarian Dragon Vein is not even a slug."

After regaining her composure, Xiao Yu could only smile bitterly and laugh at herself: She was a foreign barbarian, so ignorant that she shouted "The Dragon Vein of the Human Emperor".

This dragon vein hidden under Zhaoyang Lake and Chixiao Palace should be quite common in today's China.

She had previously overlooked one thing: in this chaotic time, when dragons and snakes are rising, there are countless potential dragons ready to go. They are just waiting for the best opportunity to raise the banner of rebellion and shout "eliminate the tyrannical Qin and bring peace to the world."

Since it is a latent dragon, there must be a corresponding dragon vein born.

Even a "little scoundrel" like the King of Donghu has created a big dragon vein in Chifeng.

When the Chinese latent dragons were rising, even if they were not as strong as the Donghu, they at least had to have a dragon vein, otherwise how could they participate in the fight for the dragon?

It is common sense that only a latent dragon can fight for the dragon.

And the hidden dragon must be accompanied by a dragon vein.

Xiaoyu was born in the Liusha region, and the dragon veins he had seen from foreign countries were all small, short, and sluggish, so he subconsciously thought that all dragon veins were like this. Today, he had a taste of foreign food and finally saw the dragon veins of Shenzhou Qianlong.

Very shocked.

The dragon vein of Qianlong alone gathers such abundant spiritual essence of heaven and earth.

If the fight for the dragon is successful and the dragon vein matures, what a magnificent scene it will be?
"Splash~~" Xiaoyu, who was in the dragon vein, heard the sound of violent water flow coming from the pool outside.

Her heart tightened, realizing that the red dragon had returned.

Before, she followed the water vein into the pool without encountering any obstacles (in fact, there was a formation blocking the outer periphery of the Dragon Palace. Xiaoyu entered the Dragon Palace from the main gate and then dived into the underground water vein, which was equivalent to directly crossing the formation). Because it was not necessary, the old dragon had been stationed at the bottom of the deep pool to guard this dragon vein.

Xiaoyu could even conclude that the old dragon was deliberately releasing his dragon nature and dragon energy to confuse outsiders and prevent them from discovering the secrets under the Dragon Palace.

Even if someone had doubts, such as Xiaoyu who was watching the energy outside the door before, they just thought it was because of the old dragon's powerful strength and huge dragon energy.

“I don’t know which hidden dragon in China this dragon vein belongs to. By the way, this is the Chixiao Palace in Zhaoyang Lake.

It is both "Zhaoyang" and "Chixiao", and it is also a "fire-nature" dragon vein. Could it be that Liu Bang?
Next to Xue County is Sishui County, and Liu Bang’s hometown, Pei County, is in Sishui County!

Fuck, this time we really caught a big fish, the dragon vein of the emperor!"

In fact, when Xiaoyu heard the name "Chixiao Palace" before, he thought of Liu Bang, the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty.

However, in the Pangu world, the word "Chixiao" does not belong to anyone exclusively.

Whether in daily life or in the literature of the Book of Songs, "Chixiao" or similar words often appear.

For example, Jiang Xiao, the immortal friend Xiao Yu met outside Kunlun Garden.

"Jiang" also means red.

There are also the Three Goddesses of the Sky: Yunxiao, Bixiao, and Qiongxiao.

The sky can be clouds, can be blue, and can be crimson, so why can’t it be red?

Chixiao is a relatively common word, often appearing in names of people, documents and plaques.

Xiaoyu's mind was full of random thoughts, but her movements were very agile and quick.

Before the old dragon completely sank into the pool, she took the lead and quietly dived into the deeper earth veins despite the erosion of the dragon's energy.

When she was far away from the dragon vein, she slowly floated up, returned to the water vein, returned to the Dragon Palace, followed a team of shrimp soldiers, and left the Chixiao Palace through the gate.

The whole process did not alarm anyone, but the biggest secret of the entire Qin and Han catastrophe had already fallen into her hands.

——It is hidden so well that no wonder the Qin "Dragon Digging Team" has been digging for dragon veins so frantically but has never found it.

But now it is finally exposed.

Hehe, if the "Green Pine Taoist Child" of the Qin Dynasty knew about this hidden dragon vein, wouldn't he try his best to dig it up?
A thought arose in Xiaoyu's mind, and a few hundred miles away, a man named Liu from Sishui County couldn't help but shiver.

"Brother Ji, why are you having the fever?" His good brother Lu Wan immediately noticed something was wrong.

"Maybe it's because autumn has arrived and the wind is a little cold." Liu Ji felt flustered and confused, and really felt a little cold.

"Brother Ji, you are sitting by the stove eating meat and drinking wine, how can it be cold?"

Fan Kuai came over with a big pot, sweating profusely, and scooped a few spoonfuls of steaming hot dog meat into the pottery jar, urging him, "Eat quickly. We killed eight dogs today. It's enough, enough! Eat more dog meat in autumn, and it won't be cold."

Liu Ji stared at the small hot pot in front of him, and wiped the sweat from his forehead. He felt more and more confused. He was not cold at all, so why did he feel so cold? Could it be that he had shivered too much on Widow Cao last night and was weak?
No, he needs to make up for it more!

Thinking of this, Liu Ji quickly picked up a piece of fat, put it in his mouth and started chewing it.
