Under One Person: My Name is Wan Jing Zhenjun

The next day at noon, the sun rose high in the sky, and the sky was filled with golden clouds.

Li Ka, the head of China Overseas Group in Datong, knocked on Wang Xiao's door.

dong dong dong-

A moment later, with a click, the door opened, but strangely, there was no one behind it.

"Come to the study." At this moment, a gentle and calm voice came from the study.

Li Ka paused for a moment, then nodded. "Yes."

After passing through the hotel's living room and two side rooms, Li Ka arrived at a study with an open door.

After knocking on the door frame, Wang Xiao looked up and walked in.

"Third Young Master, our people have made a preliminary understanding of the situation of the supernatural world in Datong. Currently, there are two powerful families in the local area: the Zhang family, who are proficient in the secret art of Guangling paper-cutting, and the Xia family, who are proficient in dough sculpture. In addition, there are the Taoists of Chunyang Palace and the monks of Xuankong Temple." After entering, Li Ka said to Wang Xiao, who was sitting behind the desk.

In the past two days, although Zhang Dequan was in charge of investigating the situation in Datong, the person who actually carried out the investigation was Li Ka, who had been working in Datong for a long time.

Therefore, after receiving the news, it was Li Ka who reported it.

As for why he reported to Wang Xiao instead of directly to Wang Weiguo or Zhang Dequan, it was because Wang Weiguo and Zhang Dequan happened to be out, and Wang Xiao was their temporary representative, so it was natural for him to be contacted.

At this moment, listening to Li Ka's report, Wang Xiao put down the "Seven Tablets of the Cloudy Bookcase" in his hand, stroked his chin and thought for a moment, "What about Hengshan? Have you investigated the situation there?"

"The situation on Mount Heng is quite complicated." Li Ka frowned and pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses. "Mount Heng has been known since ancient times as having 'three temples, four ancestral halls, nine pavilions, seven palaces, eight caves, and twelve temples.' Although many of these buildings have been destroyed over the years and no one has been stationed there, most of them still exist, and there are quite a few extraordinary people living there."

Three temples, four ancestral halls, nine pavilions, seven palaces, eight caves, and twelve temples...

Upon hearing this, Wang Xiao frowned. "To be more specific? What forces still exist?"

"If we're talking about power, then there are only four: the Sanyuan Palace, the Jiutian Palace, the Chunyang Palace, and the Xuankong Temple, which has both Taoist and Buddhist elements," Li Ka replied after thinking for a moment. "As for other places, such as the Huixian Mansion and the Kuixing Tower, they are just buildings; there are no supernatural beings inside."

As he spoke, Li Ka added, "As for the lineage of those Taoist priests, most of them should be from the Quanzhen Longmen sect. Hengshan is mainly Quanzhen Longmen."

Hearing Li Ka's words, Wang Xiao did not reply immediately, but tapped his fingers lightly on the table, lost in thought.

Even though he had considered that Hengshan was likely like Taishan, with Taoist temples on the mountain, he was surprised to find that there were so many active Taoist temples here.

With so many factions emerging on one mountain, won't they fight each other for territory?

"Have you made any preparations regarding security?" Wang Xiao asked after thinking for a moment.

If it were an ordinary person climbing a mountain, there wouldn't be much risk, but their family is not so ordinary.

Although his father, Wang Weiguo, was not an extraordinary person, the key point was that he was extremely wealthy.

It's important to know that although Beijing's housing prices hadn't completely skyrocketed in 02, as the capital city and a development center, prices were still quite high.

In this situation, the fact that Wang Weiguo could casually say he wanted to buy half a street or a whole street speaks volumes about his immense wealth.

Therefore, he thinks it is quite possible that some people would take risks for wealth and status.

"Young Master, rest assured, we have made the most comprehensive preparations regarding security. Not only have we deployed superhumans in terms of security personnel, but we have also notified the authorities in Datong to keep an eye on those lawbreakers. There will absolutely be no problems," Li Ka assured him, patting his chest.

Although he didn't say it explicitly, Wang Xiao naturally knew that the so-called illegal personnel were referring to the Quanxing gang.

However, unlike Li Ka and others who mingled in the world of supernatural beings, Wang Xiao, who had never been in contact with Quanxing, did not think Quanxing was anything special.

Therefore, seeing Li Ka's confident statement, Wang Xiao had no intention of finding fault and simply nodded, "Then let's do it that way. Go and prepare all the supplies needed for tomorrow's climb, and try to make sure you have everything you need."

"Okay." Li Ka nodded and turned to walk out of the room.

Inside the study, after Li Ka left, Wang Xiao picked up the "Seven Tablets of the Cloudy Bookcase" that he had just put down and started reading it again.

To be honest, the benefits of being rich are obvious. In his previous life, if he wanted to find a rare Taoist classic like this, the difficulty would be self-evident.

But nowadays, as long as the money is right, he can easily buy most of the heritage and books without breaking a sweat.

Of course, that's true, but there are naturally differences.

He couldn't possibly buy the Eight Extraordinary Skills and the secret techniques that each family had hidden away, no matter how much money he spent.

What he could buy were only those martial arts techniques that no one knew how to practice anymore, or whose lineage had long been lost.

At this moment, the Seven Fortune Sticks in the Cloud Book in his hand happened to be just such a thing.

The so-called "Seven Tablets of the Cloudy Bookcase" was compiled by Zhang Junfang, a scholar of the Northern Song Dynasty, by selecting more than 10,000 essential entries from the large Taoist anthology "The Great Song Heavenly Palace Treasure Collection".

The complete book consists of 122 volumes and is extremely rich in content, mainly covering Taoist doctrines, origins, transmission of scriptures and methods, blessed lands and grottoes, and biographies of immortals.

The level of detail and breadth of the records is unparalleled.

It's no exaggeration to say that this is a comprehensive encyclopedia of Taoist information.

Of course, the Yunji Seven Oracles in Wang Xiao's hands is not the complete version. The complete Yunji Seven Oracles has long been lost. The Yunji Seven Oracles in his hands is just one volume of the "Various Schools of Qi Methods", which contains the relevant content of the "Five Viscera and Six Bowels Qi Formula".

As for why Wang Xiao read this book, the reason is simple: he was preparing to strengthen his internal organs later.

After all, even with powerful supernatural abilities, if one uses them haphazardly without understanding anything, the speed and efficiency of strengthening will inevitably be less than half the result.

Therefore, it is especially important to supplement the corresponding knowledge.

Wang Xiao opened the book in his hand and began to read it carefully.
