Chapter 384 Dao Zun, Obtaining Dragon Bones [Subscription Request]
At the city gate, Cao Cao got off the car.
The nobles from all sides came here because they hoped to unify the country and to establish closer relations with him.
But there were still many people inside and outside Yecheng, waiting to welcome Cao Cao.
After recovering Jiangdong and Jingzhou, the country was finally at peace.
Cao Cao ordered a reduction in some grain taxes.
The troubled times were about to end. There would no longer be a need for military and civilian settlements as in previous years. The people would simply farm the land and support the troops for Cao Wei.
In the early years when he was in Yanzhou and Yuzhou, he had to make every effort to expand the army and use food supplies to support the army.
It was a matter of life and death, and there was no room for mercy.
At that time, Cao Cao had to carefully calculate the number of troops and push them to the highest point he could bear.
However, as peace gradually returned, Cao Wei's regular troops stabilized at 500,000, with 300,000 auxiliary troops.
In recent years, Cao Cao has pacified the south and expanded the north, opened up trade routes, and built water conservancy projects, and the economy has been developing.
As the surplus in the national treasury increases, the time has come for the people to have surplus food.
So this time when he pacified Jiangdong, Cao Cao ordered a reduction of grain tax by more than 10%.
This achievement became food for the people and they did not have to hand it over.
When the people in Yanzhou, Jizhou, Yuzhou and other regions where Cao Wei first developed heard the news, they celebrated together.
A few years ago, this was something that was unthinkable.
When Cao Cao's ceremonial procession returned, people from nearby counties and prefectures gathered outside Yecheng, and some even knelt on the ground to welcome him.
This is the reason why the founding monarchs of ancient and modern times must have great reputations.
Because it was under his leadership that order was restored in this troubled time.
The common people feel it most deeply and will never forget it.
When Cao Cao returned to the city, the atmosphere became even more joyful.
The whole city was filled with people with happy faces.
They were more eager to unify the world than Cao Cao, and their lives became increasingly prosperous.
Cao Cao was busy with other things until the afternoon.
Xun Yu and others came to see him one after another.
At the same time, Ling Jin, Li Wufang and the old Taoist priest's team also returned from Qinling Mountains and approached Yecheng.
In their team, there was a tall figure with dark eyes that seemed to contain strange powers.
He tied his long hair into a bun at the back of his head and inserted a wooden branch diagonally through it.
This person is the Taoist Master.
He looked out at Yecheng from afar and saw a scene that ordinary people could not see.
In his eyes, purple air was like a canopy, covering Yecheng.
And in the depths of the purple air there is a real dragon and a seal as huge as a mountain.
In terms of luck, the magnificent appearance of the imperial seal is as if the Five Mountains are standing before you, majestic and unparalleled.
The Dao Master's eyes were filled with energy and he withdrew his gaze from Yecheng.
The team entered the city shortly afterwards.
Cao Cao's personal army led a few people into the mansion.
Just as the Taoist turned around the corridor, he could see Cao Cao's study from afar.
Dian Wei and Xu Chu exchanged energies and simultaneously cast their eyes on Dao Zun.
The three of them were actually staring at each other.
There seemed to be flashes of lightning in the void.
Dian Wei frowned, turned around and entered the study, and came behind Cao Cao.
When Ling Jin, Li Wufang, the old Taoist priest, and Daozun entered the house, Xu Chu followed and stood behind Daozun.
Sitting in the main seat in the study, Cao Cao, dressed in the robes of a king, looked at the Taoist who came in.
His complexion had the paleness of someone who hadn't seen the sun for years.
Inside his body, his breathing, heartbeat, and blood flow are all in a vague state and are almost impossible to grasp.
He seemed to be a part of nature, and his practice was unfathomable.
The entries quietly passed by messages, the content of which surprised Cao Cao.
This man lived for two or three hundred years...
Ling Jin, Li Wufang, and the old Taoist priest all showed respect to Cao Cao.
Dao Zun thought about it and followed the ceremony.
His etiquette was a little strange. He clasped his hands, one right side up and one wrong side up, corresponding to yin and yang. His fingers formed seals like the Five Mountains, standing still.
This was the ritual of meeting the king in ancient times.
"King Wei."
Dao Zun spoke first, his voice was emotionless and indifferent:
"I came here to borrow your imperial luck to help me go deeper into the Qinling Tomb. If possible, I also plan to control you and go to Qinling together."
The old Taoist priest on the side turned green with fear and asked, "Can you please speak properly? You are here to deal with the King of Wei, and you even say it out loud."
What the hell is this place? Do you have any idea?
Once the king is angry, all the Taoist sects in the world will have to take the blame.
Dian Wei suddenly took a step forward, murderous intent bursting out of his tiger eyes, and the secret orifices in his body actually emitted a vibration like that of a sword.
Yin was lying next to Cao Cao.
The moment Dao Zun came in, Yin stood up from his prone position, lowered his hind legs, as if he sensed great danger and was ready to pounce at any time.
Cao Cao waved his hand to stop Dian Wei from taking action: "And then?"
Dao Zun: "I thought the troubled times had not yet been brought to order. You are at most at the level of a prince.
I never thought that you have already taken control of the destiny of humanity and achieved the fate of an emperor.
You use your spirit and soul to transform into a true dragon and are protected by heaven and earth.
Since ancient times, there has been a saying about the Son of Heaven, which refers to your current status.
You still have the imperial seal in your hand. If I try to intercept your luck, I will not be able to bear it even if I have to go against the heaven and earth and all the people.
The generals under your command are also extraordinary.
If I fight you, I can at most escape, but it is difficult to hurt you. So I want to cooperate with you, and we will share the proceeds from the Qinling Tomb equally. "
It's a nice idea, and it's cooperative. Once you come, you have to work all the time... Cao Cao:
"How much do you know about the Qinling Tomb?"
"There is a fairy gate in the Qinling Tomb, which has existed since ancient times.
As far as I know, Emperor Huangdi Ji Xuanyuan personally entered the gate of Xiantai.
Legend has it that the most precious thing in the world is sealed behind the door. If you absorb its energy, you can have a vision of immortality. "The Taoist said frankly:
"According to the ancient scrolls of the Dao Sect, Ji Xuanyuan was the first to discover the secret. After entering the sect, he gave birth to a dragon made of thick earth. He rode the dragon to become an immortal and shattered the void."
“For thousands of years, many people with great supernatural powers have been looking for the Qinling Tomb and wanting to enter the gate of the Immortal Terrace.
The tomb is nourished by the earth's energy and has a special environment.
Some things have sealed themselves in the tomb and have survived until now, making the tomb the most dangerous forbidden area in the world, with countless mysteries. "
"The tomb owner should be an ancient emperor who wanted to be resurrected after death and buried himself outside the Immortal Gate."
"Six or seven years ago, I woke up from that tomb. After I came out, I forgot everything, but I still remembered that I had to go back."
In the study, everyone's heart was shocked.
Is there a fairy gate in that tomb?
It is difficult to tell the truth from what others say to the Taoist Master.
However, Cao Cao connected many things through the entries and his past observations of Tomb No. 4 using the Moon Shadow Mirror and the Sun Shadow Mirror, and found that they all corresponded to what the Taoist said.
When his true dragon luck transformed into a totem true dragon, he absorbed a ray of energy behind the door and benefited greatly from it.
That was just a little bit of energy that hit the huge door in the tomb and overflowed from the gap.
Its preciousness is even greater than that of the wood of immortality.
The Taoist Master indeed revealed some of the secrets of the Qinling Tomb.
"What else do you know?"
“I can’t remember anything else. The darkness in the tomb not only obscures my eyes, but also invades my consciousness if I stay there for too long.
I imprisoned myself in a coffin in the tomb, probably to avoid some kind of crisis. I don’t know how long my consciousness has been silent, and my memory has also become fuzzy. "
Dao Zun said: “For those who gather the luck of humanity, it will be relatively easy to enter and exit the tomb.
If you have great fortune in humanity, you will be able to punish evil and avoid invasion.
You have the luck of an emperor, if you go in, you may be able to find the true path to the immortal gate."
I won’t go… Cao Cao thought to himself.
The good or bad fortune in the tomb is unknown. A gentleman would not stand on a dangerous wall, let alone an emperor.
"Since we have gathered our luck, we can enter."
Cao Cao said, “I have a way to help you.
Those Buddhists steal China's fortune and fool the people.
Killing Buddhists and taking back the luck stolen from our Middle-earth from them may help you enter the grave."
Dao Zun pondered: "How much luck can they have from the followers they have gathered? It's totally useless."
He took the bait...Behind Cao Cao, a totem dragon swam out and spit out two dragon balls.
One of them was the Buddha's relic obtained when Shi Zimiao was killed.
When the relic appeared, Dao Zun's eyes narrowed slightly: "The relic of a saint!"
Cao Cao continued to lay out the bait: “That’s right.
You proposed cooperation, OK. We will provide resources and manpower to help you enter the tomb."
To understand it another way, you are responsible for the main attack, and we provide support from the side.
Dao Zun didn't mind putting in the effort. He was actually trying every possible way to find a way to enter the tomb. He nodded slightly.
“Buddhists have relics left by saints, and the good fortune of believers gathered together is also a kind of great fortune for humanity.
What I took out is called Buddha's relic. There is more than one of them. If they could all be collected, the great fortune of humanity gathered would be very heavy.
You once killed a Buddhist and ate him, but then you discovered that he had good fortune?"
Dao Zun nodded again.
This is the hook.
There is a super powerful fighter.
Dao Zun looked at the totem dragon behind Cao Cao and asked, "Where are those Buddhists?"
Cao Cao: "I have cut off their path to wreak havoc in Middle-earth.
But they have been operating for many years, they will not give up, there must be a sequel. And they have been looking for something in Kunlun Mountain for hundreds of years. You go to Kunlun, you can kill them and take away their luck. "
The Taoist Master looked back at the old Taoist priest.
The old Taoist nodded, indicating that Cao Cao was right.
But he always felt that something was not right.
"Then we have a deal. We will work together to find the Qinling Tomb."
"You provide me with support, I will not take your benefits for nothing, I will also give you something in return, which will be of great benefit to the emperor."
As Dao Zun spoke, he stretched out his hand and pulled the back of his neck:
"I have something that can help you further gather the emperor's luck."
He dragged the back of his neck, and his whole body shook.
The room was filled with spells, appearing out of nowhere.
There seemed to be the sound of dragon roars ringing in the study.
The Taoist Master seemed to have pulled out his own spine, and was slowly pulling it out from his back, becoming longer and longer.
Cao Cao looked at it intently and found that what the Taoist Master took out was a collection of good fortune.
The 'bones' he pulled out from his back had thirty-three sections in total and were very similar to a spine.
“The human body contains a ladder to heaven. If you build the Emperor’s Spine and reach thirty-three sections, you can ascend to heaven.
This is a piece of dragon bone that I obtained from the Qinling Tomb. It should be the dragon bone formed by the dragon of destiny cultivated by an emperor who unified the world.
This emperor may have gone deep into the Qinling Tomb and died there in his later years.
It is also possible that after he entered that door, he shed his mortal bones, severed his human destiny, and left behind the dragon bones. "
Dao Zun: “With this piece of dragon bone, I can also gather some of the luck of humanity.
Unfortunately, I don’t practice the art of the emperor, so it’s hard for me to gather great luck. So although I can use this dragon bone, it’s not suitable for me.”
"To you, dragon bones are the most precious thing."
Dao Zun looked at the Buddha's relic and said, "This thing belongs to a saint of the sect. It is more suitable for me than dragon bones. How about we exchange it?"
Cao Cao immediately pushed the Buddha's relics to the Taoist Master.
The relics are also of limited use to Cao Cao.
Both of them are not at a loss.
The Taoist Master wants the Buddha's relics. After offering sacrifices and refining them, he can use them to sense the locations of other Buddha's relics and seize the fortune of Buddhism.
For him, swallowing Buddhism and collecting the Buddha's relics might allow him to enter deeper areas in the Qinling Tomb.
The dragon bones taken out by Dao Zun were of even greater benefit to Cao Cao.
The entries are flooding the screen with information about the origin of dragon bones and the benefits they can bring to Cao Cao.
