Chapter 188: Heart-moving thoughts, sword in the tomb [Subscribe]

When the two returned to the room, Bai Ke had left.

Bian Mei was Cao Cao's concubine, and his clothes were in the room.

Cao Cao took a short nap and got up to change his clothes near noon.

Bian Mei came up to help him dress and chuckled, "Whose room did you come out of last night?

He was not afraid of being seen. The powerful governor of Yanzhou wore only an outer robe to discuss matters in the front hall.

Cao Cao smiled and said, "Don't leave Changyi recently. Tell me when you go out."

Bian Mei asked in surprise: "Is there any danger?"

Cao Cao: "I defeated Gan Dao in Liangqiu before, and sent people to Huashan and Taishan to take down the two strongholds of Huang Tiandao. Since then, Huang Tiandao has been silent.

Those who hide in the dark, be careful."

Bian Mei uttered an "oh", her black and white eyes bright and energetic:
"You asked me to look up the Taoist lineage, and I found some information. There are several people in the world who are worth noting.

In the Hanzhong area of ​​Yizhou, there was a man named Zhang Lu, who was said to be the tenth-generation grandson of Zhang Liang, the Marquis of Han, and the grandson of Zhang Daoling, the founder of Tianshi Dao.

Zhang Lu was the master of Tianshi Dao and Wudoumi Dao.

After the death of the first ancestor Zhang Daoling, Zhang Lu's father Zhang Heng continued his Taoist tradition.

After Zhang Heng died, Zhang Lu succeeded him as leader.

However, there is another legend about their first ancestor Zhang Daoling, which says that he is not dead, but has ascended to heaven.

Zhang Lu's mother was fond of health preservation, had a face like that of a young girl, and was also proficient in ghost arts. It was said that she had great supernatural powers, so she was a guest of honor in the home of Liu Yan, the governor of Yizhou.

Zhang Lu gained trust through his mother's relationship with Liu Yan's family and is currently serving in Yizhou.

"Zhang Lu is currently serving as the Supervisor of Justice Sima."

"From the information we have collected, he is aloof and arrogant, and thinks highly of himself. He and Liu Yan's son Liu Zhang have many disagreements."

"There is another person who is called the Taoist Saint, Taoist Reverend, and the Nanhua Immortal also refers to him. The Emperor's Granted Diagram that Zhang Jiao obtained back then might have been passed down by him."

"There are other Taoists like Yu Ji and Zuo Ci. People in the community all say that they are immortals who travel on land."

Cao Cao responded: "Remember what I told you, you are not allowed to leave Changyi unless you go out with me."

"understood."

Bian Mei agreed and Cao Cao went out.

As he walked towards the front hall, he thought of the Taoists that Bian Mei had mentioned.

Two of them have something to do with me.

In history, Zhang Lu later joined Cao's camp.

He has a highly respected status in Taoism and is a third-generation immortal.

Yu Ji and Zuo Ci are real people in history.

Cao Cao sought out extraordinary people and recruited Zuo Ci.

However, he was not used by Cao Wei and the relationship between them was not harmonious.

Yu Ji was active in the Jiangdong area, where he was very popular among the people and saved countless lives.

Cao Cao walked with his hands behind his back, thoughts turning in his mind.

Dian Wei and Xu Chu followed behind him.

"I asked you to discuss and improve the spear techniques for military warfare. How is the progress?"

Cao Cao had previously instructed Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Zhang Huai, and Wang Yue, the ceiling of combat power at the time, to constantly improve their killing techniques on the battlefield in order to enhance the actual combat power of Cao's army.

“We are still studying it.”

Dian Wei: "Master said that the battlefield has been tested through countless battles for thousands of years, and the moves have become very simple, which makes them easy to spread and learn. It is not easy to improve them."

Cao Cao and his two companions were talking while walking when they suddenly saw two figures acting suspiciously in the yard in front of them. They were Yin and Rui.

Rui has grown into a half-grown leopard cub.

It hid under a tree in the yard, looking up at a big bird on the tree.

Yin Ze stood a little further away, with one of his paws raised in the air but not touching the ground, in a strange posture.

Rui is under the tree, crouching low, as if ready to leap up at any time, giving people a sense of movement and stillness.

The amazing thing is that it moved quietly under the tree, always using the trunk to frame its view and avoid the sight of the big bird in the tree.

Chacha!

The bird on the tree lowered its head and sharpened its long beak with a branch.

Just as it was concentrating on sharpening its beak, Rui under the tree suddenly jumped up at lightning speed and instantly pounced to a height of two or three meters.

The bird spread its wings and tried to fly, but Rui grabbed it and bit its throat.

The attack was carried out in a split second with such agility and precision, and victory was decided in a split second, which was breathtaking.

Cao Cao and his two companions were watching, and Dian Wei suddenly reached out and hooked his hand.

His movements were very similar to the moment when Rui made his move, dynamic, combining strength and precision to defeat the enemy.

Dian Wei made several consecutive moves, and it was obvious that he was inspired by what he saw from Rui's hunting, and was thinking about and getting help with his own practice of attack and defense.

Xu Chu, who was standing aside, also had a thoughtful look on his face.

Cao Cao thought that these two guys had pure hearts and minds, specialized in one subject, and had really good talent for cultivation. No wonder they could become the world's top combat power.

On the side, Rui first presented the caught bird to the leader.

Yin complained that there was not enough meat on the bird, so he scratched it with his claws to show that he accepted his younger brother's flattery, and then threw the bird to Rui with disgust.

Because Yin has received the push of Cao Cao's luck, he is transforming into a spiritual beast.

At the age of two and a half, Yin was already stronger than an ordinary adult tiger, with black stripes on his body that were particularly dark and majestic. Seeing Cao Cao, Yin even walked more cheerfully, shaking his huge tiger head and running to him.

Cao Cao walked forward and it followed behind him.

Rui followed behind Yin, forming a straight line.

Entering the study, Cao Cao began to deal with various affairs.

Yin also followed in and lay down beside him.

On the other side was Cao Ang, who moved a small seat and followed the students to study the affairs of the school.

People from various noble families came in one after another to discuss the alliance with Yanzhou.

At noon, Cao Cao unfolded a strategic map.

At present, Zhao Zilong's troops on the western front are retreating and cooperating with the Black Mountain Army to the north of Bingzhou, while continuing to attack the Southern Xiongnu.

If Jizhou sends troops to attack the Black Mountain Army from behind in an attempt to rescue Henei Governor Zhang Yang, a frontal battle with Jizhou will begin on the western front.

However, Cao Cao estimated that fighting on the western front could not break out at this stage.

Jizhou will not easily raise troops and increase its own consumption.

On the western front, Cao Cao used Henei Governor Zhang Yang and Black Mountain Army general Zhang Yan as bait, in fact, to lure Jizhou to mobilize troops and increase consumption.

See if Jizhou can join the game.

Except for Xuzhou where the fighting was raging, the rest of the parties were relatively stable.

Spring ploughing has begun in Yanzhou.

"The summer flood season is not far away. How is the progress of water conservancy repairs along the Yellow River?"

When Cao Cao asked a question, the official in charge made a report.

"Last year, we launched the policy of cultivating farmland. Refugees from all over the world flocked to Yanzhou, so we have sufficient manpower. Building dams along the Yellow River is a major project that will take ten years. The initial dredging went smoothly, and the main ditches along the river have been cleared."

At 3 p.m., it was Ling Jin's turn to report on the progress of the tomb-robbing operation.

Cao Cao asked him to dig up the tomb No. 174, which contained one of the ten most famous swords in the world.

Ling Jin came in, with a look of shame on his face: "I failed to complete the governor's order, please punish me."

“The gold and silver in the tomb were recovered.

But I tried every trick I could to get close to the tomb-guarding sword, but I found it was as heavy as a mountain and I couldn't pull it out or take it away no matter what I did. "

Ling Jin's expression was filled with a hint of shock and confusion:

"When I entered the tomb a second time, the sword disappeared without a trace.

I can confirm that no one entered the tomb during the process.

We rested at the entrance of the tomb for only about an hour. When we went in the second time, the sword was gone.

I was afraid that I had failed to fulfill the governor's order, so I searched the tomb again and again for more than half a month, leaving no inch of space untouched, but still could not find the whereabouts of the sword. "

When Ling Jin entered Tomb No. 174, Cao Cao used the Moon Shadow Mirror to observe from a distance.

What I saw was indeed hard to explain.

Tomb No. 174 is located in Nanyang County.

Ancient tombs from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.

Ling Jin found the place, opened the tomb, and took out the gold and silver. He did it with ease and without any accidents.

But in the inner chamber of the tomb, there was a sword with only a bronze handle, in front of the coffin above the ground, with a strange and ancient style.

With Ling Jin's practice, he tried many times, but was still unable to pull it out.

Cao Cao gave a hint when he saw the entry:
[The divine sword contains the spirit of heaven and earth. The sword body is buried in the earth. Over the years, it has been connected to the earth's energy and has absorbed the power of the thick earth to nourish the five metals. If you want to pull out this sword, you need good luck. Only those who are kingly have hope.]

Cao Cao was in Nanyang at the time. After seeing the entry, he was tempted and thought about drawing the sword himself.

One of the ten swords of ancient and modern times, no matter which one it is, it is not easy to obtain.

It is said that after Emperor Gaozu of Han, Liu Bang, obtained the Chixiao Sword, he was endowed with the spiritual charm of heaven and earth.

Emperors and overlords in ancient and modern times often have their own exclusive swords, which are nurtured by luck and can be used to suppress the military luck of a certain force.

Cao Cao previously kept an ancient axe found in a tomb as a ceremonial weapon for awarding military honors to Cao's army.

It would obviously be better if one could have a weapon at the level of the top ten famous swords to cultivate martial arts and mobilize military power.

But before he planned to enter the ancient tomb to draw the sword, Ling Jin went in again, but the sword was no longer in the tomb.

Where the sword was stored, only a sword pit was left, as if it had been pulled out by someone.

Cao Cao watched what was happening through the Moon Shadow Mirror.

Now that Ling Jin has returned, he relayed it again in person.

Cao Cao was also quite surprised by the disappearance of the sword these days.

[Ling Jin forcibly drew the sword and was injured by the sword energy. The sword body revived after drinking blood and sank into the earth veins by itself. It was pushed by the earth energy and moved into another Eastern Zhou Dynasty king's tomb.]

[The top ten famous swords have a fixed destination: Eastern Zhou King's Tomb, sequence 131, located in Yuzhou under your rule]

That sword can actually move with the flow of air on the ground, and its position is not fixed?

[The top ten famous swords, your subordinates are not allowed to take them, so it is recommended that you take the sword yourself. Enter the 131st King's Tomb, and you will have a special reward... This tomb is not dangerous for you who carry millions of luck. Use the Moon Shadow Mirror to trace and fix the location of the famous sword.]

Cao Cao thought to himself: "What a coincidence..."

He took out the Moon Shadow Mirror and activated it to track the direction of the famous sword.

The next moment, an incredible scene appeared in the mirror.
