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

Chapter 721 Five Servant
Xiao Yu said: “Besides, just a few years ago, Donghu and Xiongnu were still vassals of the Qin Dynasty. Isn’t the majestic city of Daiyi Wangcheng in front of us the fief of the Xiongnu king?
The Xiongnu king was the ‘King of Dai’ and the Great Khan was the ‘King of Liaodong’.
As long as they don’t fight for the dragon and have no intention of going south to dominate the Central Plains, everyone can live a relatively comfortable life.
The war situation is not favorable now. If we negotiate good terms with the Qin army, we can save our energy and wait for the right time!”
Master Xueling said, “Fellow Daoist, you don’t understand! You can lose one, two, or even ten dragon battles, but you must never retreat.
Let’s not talk about how many Qin people we, the Donghu, have killed since the uprising. Given the brutality of the Qin, will they allow us to surrender?
Let’s assume that the Qin Dynasty sincerely accepted the surrender of the Donghu and all past blood feuds would be forgiven.
I just ask, once the Donghu dragon veins are surrendered to the Qin Dynasty, how can they be preserved?
That’s right, the Qin people plundered the Dao Miao and suppressed the Qianlong, but they didn’t want our Donghu’s pastures and land. As long as we don’t fight for the dragon and don’t go south, the Qin people don’t even want to pay attention to us.
But Chifeng finally nurtured a Donghu dragon vein, and now the Great Chanyu has become the king of men.
Once you surrender, your status as the Human King and your country’s destiny will be gone.”
——Without the Donghu dragon vein and the “Donghu King”, Donghu became a “frontier county” of the Qin Dynasty. We can no longer rely on Donghu’s national destiny for cultivation, and we cannot eliminate the evil karma and cause and effect left by the Heavenly Court in the “Book of Good and Evil”.
So, why should we, the dignified immortals, continue to be loyal to a mortal?
Many of them have the nationality of “the great nation of China”!
For example, himself, his current Buddhist name is “Xue Ling”, his real name is Zhang Zhong, a servant of the Zhang family, a prominent family in western Liaoning. He followed the master into the Buxian Mountain (Changbai Mountain) to collect ginseng, and encountered a miraculous opportunity (he met the Snow Mountain Ancestor).
The master of the house also took him with him when he went to collect ginseng, and it was obvious that he was a close and trusted follower.
He had never been abused by the head of the family or anyone else, and it was not the life experience of a certain protagonist.
Now that he has become an immortal, he no longer has any hatred towards the Zhang family – a few years ago he even converted a member of the Zhang family into his disciple, let alone hatred for China.
He neither hates nor loves, and has no sense of national justice. But he is also proud of his status as a citizen of a superior country, and he looks down on the barbarians in his heart.
With such values and stance, why would they join the Donghu and invade the Central Plains if there were no benefits too huge to refuse?
This was what he really thought, and he believed that all the fellow Taoists present also understood it.
After all, everyone came from thousands of miles away to gather at Donghu Fulongting for the same purpose.
But the Taoist Master Longyang in front of them was new, and he seemed to have never enjoyed the pleasure of national fortune in the past. He didn’t understand how much loss would be caused to them once the King of Donghu surrendered to the Qin Dynasty and became a “subject”.
If the King of Donghu, Kebineng, had not been present at the scene, he would really have held the hand of Longyang Daojun and said affectionately: Brother Dao, after we return to Chifeng and let the Great Khan appoint you as the National Master, I will carefully consider your “three best, middle and worst strategies”.
Xiaoyu didn’t need him to hold her hand and explain in detail. Just by looking at their reactions, she vaguely understood what was going on.
She just pretended not to understand.
“Did you Taoist brothers nurture the Donghu Dragon Vein?” The doubts about this question are real.
She also raised dragon veins.
Even though she was reincarnated with all her memories, her values have always been mature, and she does not recognize her identity as a “Shaman”, she sincerely hopes for the best for Shaman.
If they also cultivated the Donghu dragon vein, they should feel the same as her.
Even if they did not consider themselves Donghu people, they would never wish for Donghu to suffer serious damage and for countless young and middle-aged people to die.
For a glimmer of hope for a true dragon, three hundred thousand elite cavalry were sacrificed.
The essence of an entire generation is all here!
The key is that the glimmer of hope is just an illusion.
The Donghu always considered themselves as bandits who robbed and ran away, and never thought of becoming the real “Emperor of Man”.
Master Xueling shook his head and said, “How can a dragon vein be cultivated by just one or two people?
We are just assisting the Great Chanyu to get rid of the Qin Dynasty.
When the Donghu became independent from the Qin Dynasty, the dragon veins were naturally born.
Then, while the vein of the Qin Dynasty’s ancestral dragon was collapsing and the dragon energy was dissipating in all directions, he used some means to change the situation, collected the dragon energy dissipating in the northeast direction, and strengthened the Chifeng dragon vein.
Such an opportunity may not come once in a hundred thousand years.
If you miss it, you won’t come back again.”
Hearing this, Kebi Neng, who was originally a little hesitant, immediately firmed his eyes and expression, “I will never surrender to the Qin Dynasty until I die!”
“The Great Chanyu is wise!”
“The Chanyu is mighty!”
“We will certainly do our best to help the Great Chanyu get through this hardship!”
All the immortal masters were relieved and once again faced Kebineng with respectful eyes and gentle but powerful tones.
“Great Chanyu, I’m sorry. I’m ignorant and mistook the worst option for the middle option.” Xiao Yu apologized sincerely.
“Hey, Taoist Longyang is dedicated to the public, how can I blame him?” Ke Bineng waved his hands, looking indifferent.
In his heart, he actually agreed with this “middle policy”.
If the dragon vein had not only one chance to flourish, and if he was not just a human immortal with a limited lifespan and could not wait until the future, he would have sincerely considered this “middle strategy”.
“The Qin Dynasty’s ancestor dragon collapsed. What happened?” Xiao Yu asked again after apologizing.
“We don’t know the specific situation. No one knows except the deceased Emperor Zheng. The immortals of Shenzhou are also confused.”
At this moment, Kebi Neng made a decision, and Yuwen Bo spoke, “The dragon vein of the Great Qin is in the Qinling Mountains, known as the ‘Ancestor Dragon’, and the energy of the earth vein is extremely strong.
It can even be said that it is the strongest dragon vein in the history of Pangu world.
The dragon energy formed nine-colored clouds in the sky above the Qinling Mountains, which lasted for years.
Many immortals are eager to practice near the Qinling Mountains.
There are also many Qi cultivators who have ascended to heaven in broad daylight after refining Qi in Qinling Mountains for several years.
During that period, every few years, angels would descend from heaven with a magnificent guard of honor, land on the Qinling Mountains, and invite new immortals to serve as immortal officials in heaven.
The prosperous scene seems to be just yesterday. I have seen it several times and the memory is still fresh. “
Xiao Yu was surprised and said, “The dragon energy is too rich and has evaporated outside the mountain. How can a Qi cultivator absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth nearby?”
Yuwen Bo said: “Dragon Qi is a special kind of evil energy from the earth veins, and Qi cultivators cannot absorb it.
But the evil energy of the earth itself is also the essence of the earth.
As the saying goes, official aura nourishes people, and dragon aura nourishes the mountain.
Wherever dragon veins are naturally born, there are beautiful mountains and rivers and magnificent scenery.
This is the dragon vein nourishing the mountains, rivers and land.
The nourished mountains will be born and gather a large amount of pure energy from heaven and earth.
For example, Chifeng, where the Donghu royal court is located.
Since the birth of the dragon vein and the growing strength of dragon energy, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth on the top of Chifeng Mountain can also form colorful auspicious clouds.
With the Human King’s pardon, you can avoid the interference of dragon energy and fly directly into the clouds, swallowing the air and smoke, practicing the true method internally, and making great progress. One day can be equivalent to thousands of days in normal times.”
“China is indeed a land of great natural beauty. I have rarely seen such a magnificent sight in the Liusha Region.” Xiao Yu said with emotion.
Thinking about it carefully, after the formation of the sand dune dragon vein, the trees on the mountain did grow more luxuriantly. She also cultivated “paddy fields” around the sand dunes and planted sand apples and wood vegetables, which was also very successful.
Yuwen Bo shook his head and said, “This has nothing to do with China. It’s just that the countries in the Liusha region where you are have been plundered by the Qin Dynasty for their Taoist descendants, famous officials and generals, which is equivalent to taking away their national destiny.
Even if those vassal states had dragon veins, they were dry and almost withered.
If the dragon energy cannot flourish, how can it nourish the mountains, rivers and land, and form the auspicious sign of the harmony of yin and yang between the dragon energy of the earth and the spiritual energy of the sky?”
“Damn you Daqin!” Xiao Yu cursed sincerely.
Wasn’t the dragon vein that she nurtured cut off by Daqin and Western Shu?
“What happened next? Why did the Qin Emperor collapse?” she asked again.
Yuwen Bo said: “One day thirty years ago, Emperor Ying Zheng suddenly announced the closure of the mountains and drove away all the immortals and Qi cultivators in Qinling.
Without the order from the Human Emperor, Qi cultivators would be unable to eliminate the interference of dragon energy and absorb the dense immortal energy from the auspicious clouds in the Qinling Mountains.
Therefore, after the Human Emperor announced the closure of the mountain, there were no more Qi Refiners in Qinling Mountains.
No one knows what the Human Emperor is doing inside the Qinling Mountains.
Maybe someone knows it, but it has not been made public.
Anyway, he struggled for decades, and suddenly Zulong collapsed.
The Ancestral Dragon is both the dragon vein of the Great Qin and the human emperor regime itself.
When the Emperor of Qin passed away, the immortals returned to Qinling Mountains to check, and were shocked to find that the dragon veins of the Great Qin were riddled with holes, completely destroyed and dead.
We, the immortals and celestial masters who are outside the Central Plains, were pleasantly surprised to find that our tribe had begun to spontaneously condense dragon veins, and the dragon energy was growing very rapidly. “
Xiao Yu frowned and said, “In the Liusha Region, I don’t think I’ve heard of any vassal state having such a good thing happen.”
In recent years, the dragon energy of Western Shu has even shown signs of withering.
She served as prime minister for a few days, and actually brought prosperity to the country of Western Shu.
Yuwen Bo said: “There are also differences between the vassal states.
The Qin Dynasty adopted a clothing system similar to that of the Zhou Dynasty, with the relationships of “Dian, Hou, Bin, Yao, and Huang” ranging from near to far.
The “five mourning garments” out of the five mourning garments that people refer to evolved in this way.
The Guanzhong area was considered Dianfu, and other areas in the Central Plains were Houfu. Later, the imperial government changed to a county system, and even our north established prefectures and cities. The five-serving system became somewhat blurred.
We, the Donghu, as well as the Xiongnu, Yuezhi and other princes close to the Central Plains, are “guests”.
Even if he has the title of “king” and fiefdom, he is not a true ruler, and the country has no dragon vein.
The Quicksand Region where fellow Taoist is located belongs to the lowest level of “wild land”, but it is actually a complete kingdom.
The Qin Dynasty was brutal and cruel, while the Ying family was greedy and wanted to establish an eternal dynasty.
Whether they were followers of the imperial court or the barbarians, they were all suppressed.
Now that the Qin Dynasty’s first emperor has passed away, most of the plundered “dragon energy” and clan fortune have dissipated between heaven and earth and disappeared without a trace.
A small part was returned to the princes.
It is not an equal return, nor does everyone get a share.
It’s like the aftermath of an earthquake. Only those who are close to Daqin can feel it. Those who are too far away can’t feel it and can’t get any dragon energy at all.”
Xiao Yu bowed to Yu Wenbo and said, “Thank you, Brother Dao, for clearing up my confusion.”
Yuwen Bo nodded absentmindedly, and said in a complicated tone: “Since the reign of the Emperor until now, our human race has a history of tens of thousands of years and has gone through countless dynasties, but there has never been a ruler as cruel and brutal as the Emperor Ying Zheng.
In the past, no human emperor had ever suppressed the dragon energy of other races so brutally, nor had he ever raised a dragon as strong as the Qinling Ancestral Dragon.
There has never been a moment when the backlash against the Chinese nation was so strong.
The fortune of the Central Plains of China is so weak, and the gap between us Hu people and them is so small. “
Not only was he clearing up the doubts for Taoist Master Longyang, he was also preparing himself and Ke Bi Neng psychologically: Even though Master Xue Ling and the others had selfish motives, what they said was not wrong, and this opportunity would not come once in a thousand years.
Sure enough, Ke Bineng’s eyes became more determined, “Longyang Daojun, what is the best strategy?”
“The best strategy is for everyone to work together and stop hiding anything. If you have any killer trump cards, take them out and attack the Qin army together. If we kill them, the Donghu won’t have to cross thousands of miles of snowfields to return to the royal court of Chifeng.” Xiao Yu said.
——What the hell is this the best strategy?
Ke Bineng really wants to complain.
But if you think carefully about the unwilling worst option and the abandoned middle option, this best option seems to be the best choice.
“Master Longyang, what’s your secret weapon?” Yuwen Bo asked expectantly.
Xiao Yu said proudly: “I can turn rivers and seas upside down! Have you seen the Flowing Sand River? It is eight hundred miles wide! I can stir up a huge wave of ten thousand feet. If Daiyi City is on the bank of the Flowing Sand River, humph, it will only take one move.”
Ke Bineng was both excited and disappointed.
The “future national master” who excited him turned out to be extremely powerful.
Disappointingly, there is not even a big river around Juyongguan.
There are several small rivers near Daiyi City.
But there was too little water, and the water had frozen, stirring up the mud at the bottom of the river, so that it could not reach the base of the city wall.
Moreover, the Daiyi City is protected by a magic array. Several previous national masters set fire to the city, sent down torrential rain of swords, and even set up the “Nine Yin Destroying Formation” to drive the hundreds of thousands of souls they slaughtered into the city to take their souls and claim their lives, but they all failed.
“There are many big rivers in the grasslands and the Central Plains. Daoist Longyang will be able to show his power sooner or later. Now…”
Yuwen Bo looked around at the immortal masters and said, “Now, Fellow Daoist Longyang, please focus on tracking Fairy Feiyu. Leave the rest to us.”
Master Xueling said, “In the afternoon, we should build an altar and pray for my teacher to come.”
Ke Bineng pointed at the blood on his body and said helplessly: “The Qin people are attacking urgently and won’t give us a chance! Build a platform at night, and I will personally preside over the sacrifice to the heavens and invite the ancestors to come.”
Master Xueling shook his head and said, “Let’s wait until tomorrow morning. The ancestor likes to be open and aboveboard and never comes quietly at night.”
“Well, we can’t attack Meng Yi’s tribe at night.” Master Xueling turned to Yuwen Bo and said, “Brother, you collected the blood essence of all spirits to refine the plague poison. Can you use it now?”
Ke Bineng pondered and said, “Compared with the plague made from blood essence, the hundreds of thousands of soul essences collected by the Ten Thousand Souls Banner are more vicious.”
Xiaoyu’s eyes flashed and a look of doubt appeared on her face, but she didn’t interrupt them.
In fact, she knew that Yuwen Bo took advantage of the Donghu and Xiongnu’s massacre in the city to collect hundreds of thousands or even millions of souls of the dead soldiers and civilians in the northern border and refined an extremely vicious and powerful magic weapon – the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.
The Ten Thousand Souls Banner was taken out and used during the attack on Daiyi City, and was recorded in the information that Lu Lingzi gave to Xiaoyu.
But I just heard today that the plague was made from the blood and essence of hundreds of thousands of ordinary people.
Ke Bineng was puzzled and said, “But we have used the Ten Thousand Souls Banner before, and also set up the Nine Yins Absolute Family Formation to enhance the power of the dead souls.
It caused the sky to darken within a hundred miles, day and night to reverse, and the entire Daiyi City was dragged into the underworld. It’s useless!”
