Jiang Yao was calm on the outside, but panicked inside.
He knew very well that if this ghost saint wanted to kill him, he would only die.
This person appeared in front of me uninvited and silently, which was probably not a good intention.
He already guessed who this was.
He should be the ghost Taoist who is the leader of the nine ghosts in Jiang Shui. He is a ghost saint who even the special envoy of the Western Saint, the Ghost Deng Lady, does not take seriously.
Jiang Yao poured a glass of wine for the Taoist-robed ghost and suddenly said: "Infinite Heavenly Lord, the Taoist Master is here today. Do you have any advice?"
Um?
When the ghosts heard Jiang Yao's words, they couldn't help showing surprise.
This young man actually knows about Infinite Heavenly Lord and calls himself Taoist Master. Does he also know about Taoism?
"Little Sect Leader Jiang, is he also a member of the Taoist sect?" The ghost in the Taoist robe pointed at the pattern on the Taoist robe, "Does Jiang Tanyue know what pattern this is?"
Jiang Yao immediately felt relieved and knew that his strategy was right.
"Taoist Master, this is the Taoist Yin-Yang Tai Chi Bagua chart. Although few people in the world know about it, I know it."
He played a Taoist Ziwu Jue, "Because this kid is also a member of the Taoist sect, the Infinite Heavenly Lord!"
The green ghost eyes of the ghost in the Taoist robe looked at Jiang Yao quietly, and said in an astonishing voice: "Yes, this is indeed the Yin Yang Tai Chi Bagua Diagram. But how do you know about the Taoist sect? In today's world, the Taoist sect has long been destroyed, and the poor Taoist can't think of it.
, there are still people who remember old things about Taoism.”
Jiang Yao was shocked at the origin of this ghost, and answered without any flaws on the surface: "Jia Shi is a hidden Taoist. The family teacher is also no longer a living person."
The Taoist-robed ghost asked: "Does your master have a name?"
Jiang Yao replied: "My master has an order and it is strictly forbidden to reveal the brand name!"
The face of the Taoist-robed ghost changed slightly.
"Where is your master now?" the ghost asked again.
Jiang Yao replied: "Master said that we should meet each other naturally when we should meet."
The ghost stood up and said, "Your master, can you tell me which Taoist Sutra is it? Who is the founder of Taoism?"
Jiang Yao took a deep breath and said: "The original scripture of Taoism is the Tao Te Ching, and the founder is of course Laojun."
The ghost asked again: "What are the four major elements between heaven and earth?"
Jiang Yao answered without hesitation: "The Dao is great, the sky is great, the earth is great, and the people are great. Heaven, earth and human beings are one, and this is the Tao."
The ghost asked again: "What are the roots of heaven and earth?"
Jiang Yao answered again: "The immortality of the Grain God is called Xuan Ni; the gate of Xuan Ni is called the root of heaven and earth."
The ghost in Taoist robes nodded and said: "Okay, very good. You are indeed a descendant of the Taoist sect. Unexpectedly, the Taoist sect has not been completely destroyed."
Jiang Yao said tentatively: "Taoist Master, our Taoism originally includes martial arts, medicine, talismans and other Taoism. In fact, it has never been destroyed."
The ghost in Taoist robe shook his head: "You don't understand this. Martial arts, medicine, talismans, formations, and weapons are all just the use of Taoism, not the foundation of Taoism. Today's Taoism has lost its roots and is very different.
Already."
"In today's world, martial arts are respected. If you don't practice the Tao Sutra, you won't reach the other side. It has a beginning but no end, and it's difficult to achieve positive results."
After the Taoist-robed ghost finished speaking, his body slowly faded away, and his voice came from his own voice: "For the sake of the Taoist family, the poor Taoist will no longer make things difficult for you. You can take care of yourself, Immeasurable Heavenly Lord."
As soon as he finished speaking, his figure completely disappeared.
It's like it's never been here.
This ghost comes and goes freely, and it simply ignores the top formations of the city lord's mansion. It is so powerful.
Jiang Yao was sure that this ghost Taoist was not as simple as an ordinary ghost saint.
The ghost Taoist sneaked into the city lord's mansion today, of course to deal with himself.
But because I am also a Taoist, I let myself go.
It is obvious that Jiang Shui Jiugui does not want Jiang Zong to recover.
But after the ghost Taoist arrived, he was deceived by his big lie before he took action.
This is of course not because ghost Taoists are easy to deceive, but because Jiang Yao really understands Taoism.
Everything he said was right, how could the Ghost Taoist doubt it?
Jiang Yao broke into a cold sweat.
Xuan.
If you are not smart enough, the consequences will be unpredictable.
Jiang Yao tried hard to calm down her mind and thought of Taoism again.
Listening to the tone of the ghost Taoist, Taoism is the foundation. If you abandon this foundation and practice martial arts blindly, it will be difficult to achieve positive results, and it will have a beginning but no end.
Also, there really is "Tao Te Ching" and Laojun!
Previously, Jiang Yao got Li Shizhen and "Compendium of Materia Medica" right, and today you got "Tao Te Ching" and Lao Jun right. Adding Yang Sui and Li Tang, what does this mean?
It shows that this world has some mysterious connection that cannot be separated from Chinese history.
It definitely can't be a coincidence.
No, it is not connected with Chinese history, but has some connection with the history of the earth world.
The more Jiang Yao thought about it, the more confused she became, so she simply stopped thinking about it.
The Ghost Taoist let him go this time, so he could only say that he was lucky. Will he still have such good luck next time he encounters an enemy who wants to kill him?
Strength, strength!
………
A few days later, the Jiang clan and their retainers completely took control of the Sanjiang area. Jiangdong, in particular, had a completely new look and became the location of the Jiang clan's royal city.
The Sanjiang area has restarted the Jiang era.
Afterwards, Jiang Yao sent people to send one billion spiritual jade back to the Qing clan for use in military training and reform.
Another 300 million spiritual jade was sent back to Daming Mountain in the name of Ouyang Feng borrowing money from the Qing clan.
After seizing the Shanhe Society's property, Jiang Yao made a windfall of billions. Not only was the military pay for several years completely resolved, but he was also able to form more elite troops and recruit more talents.
This huge resource will be completely spent in a few years. But the Qing clan can train a powerful army.
In addition, Jiang Yao will spend a billion spiritual jade to secretly form a naval army in Luofengchuan and train warships.
He decided to form the largest navy in the Western Regions.
At that time, the Ming Dynasty Navy will be able to enter the Black Water Lake from Luofengchuan, then enter the Bashui River, then enter the Ruohe River, and penetrate directly into the hinterland of the Western Region! It will have the effect of a surprise attack.
If he could really unify the Western Region, his navy could follow the major water bodies and attack the Northern Region, the Demonic Region and the Witching Region.
Jiang Yao allocated another billion of spiritual jade to secretly refine spaceships and battleships, purchase demon eagles and war birds, and secretly form an aviation force in Mingshan.
He wants to build the largest flying team in the Western Region.
Once the counterattack is launched, it will be a joint attack by the land, water and air forces.
Jiang Yao also took out the principles of missiles and aircraft on Earth, and used the Secret Order Formation Dao Temple, Fu Dao Temple, and Qi Dao Temple to jointly develop missile-like long-range strike magic weapons, as well as magic weapons similar to fighter jets and long-range bombers.
Of course, they cannot be real missiles and bombers. However, once developed, the power and performance will be much more terrifying than the missiles and bombers on earth.
This is a requirement for ginger medicine.
If we really want to create missiles and aircraft on Earth, they will just be targets. What’s the use?
Jiang Yao just used this idea to let the court secretly research new military magic weapons like missiles and aircraft.
Through large-scale new military magic weapons, we will vigorously improve the military's combat capabilities and make up for the disadvantage of insufficient high-end combat capabilities.
For this reason, Jiang Yao also secretly ordered the establishment of a "Military Magic Weapon Research Institute" to combine the formation, medicine, weapon, and talismans to study military magic weapons that combine all the ways.
For example, super-large spaceships, chariots that can replace thousands of miles of horses, domain-breaking weapons that can specifically attack enemy military domains...
Jiang Yao believes that using the thinking and experience of earth science and technology to inspire reform officials will surely give rise to a new type of powerful long-range military magic weapon.
For this reason, Jiang Yao wrote down a lot of the principles of high-tech weapons and even black-tech weapons that he knew about, and secretly passed them on to Zhi Cheng, Chu Heng and others.
Several billions of windfalls were distributed like this by Jiang Yao.
No matter how many resources there are, they are not enough for him.
On May 12th, the martial arts clan in the Sanjiang area invited Jiang Yao to attend the Sanjiang Meeting to discuss important matters. Jiang Yao made excuses to refuse and did not attend the meeting.
………
On May 18th, everything is finished.
Jiang Yao, who had stayed in Jiangdong for two months, handed over the important matters of the Jiang Sect to Jiang Sansheng, Jiang Wei, Guo Huai and others, and then took Jiang Xiucheng and Jiang Cai with Mu Yue to prepare for the long-distance voyage to the Central Region.
The Yuanhang Spaceship Terminal is located in Jiangdong City. Now the Shanhe Society forces at the pier have been eliminated and replaced by Jiang clan members.
In Jiangdongbei City's Yuanhang Square, two large voyage spaceships are staying.
There were originally five ships, but three of them had already flown away.
This is the top-of-the-line super large-scale long-distance spacecraft, more than a hundred feet long, and its area is not smaller than the USS Ford aircraft carrier. Its volume is much larger.
Because the spaceship is divided into three levels, it is several times taller than an aircraft carrier.
When Jiang Yao saw the two long-distance spaceships, he couldn't help but secretly thought, "What a guy."
But on top of this spaceship, there are up to seven levels of protective formations, concealment formations, and attack formations. In addition, it is equipped with hundreds of heavy spiritual energy cannons and hundreds of heavy-duty true soul crossbows.
There are also more than a dozen demon eagles up to level five. When necessary, level five medicine eagles will carry eagle-borne weapons like carrier-based aircraft to strike targets.
It can be said that he is definitely armed to the teeth.
However, such powerful equipment is not for offense, but for road safety and to deal with the dangers above the Wujian Desert.
A large-scale long-distance spaceship has 9,000 seats. The cheapest large-cabin seat costs 50,000 spirit jade, and the most expensive quiet room costs hundreds of thousands of spirit jade.
It seems that a round trip of a spaceship can make hundreds of millions, but this is not the case.
Because it's rarely full.
Moreover, the spaceship is equipped with more than a thousand crew members, all of whom are at least a martial artist, to operate the spacecraft and ship-borne weapons. The labor cost is also very scary.
When Jiang Yao and others arrived, a spaceship was about to take off, with four to five thousand people already on board.
Most people take the cheapest, large-cabin seats on the bottom floor.
"Tao Ji, the captain of the Flying Tiger, has met my lord." When a man with martial arts cultivation saw Jiang Yao, he immediately administered it without being humble or overbearing.
Although both the spaceship dock and the spaceship belong to the Jiang family, the crew members on the spaceship have not moved. They are still the same crew members, but the captain has been changed.
Tao Ji was an old minister of the Jiang family, so Jiang Yao would be relieved to have him be the captain.
"My lord, long-distance spaceships are also risky, lord, why don't you take the teleportation array?" Tao Ji said a little worried.
Jiang Yao smiled and said: "I want to take advantage of the spaceship to appreciate the scenery of the Wujian Desert."
An old crew member on the spaceship quickly said: "Although the Wujian Desert is strange and strange, there are countless risks in it. Sect Master Jiang has a distinguished status, so just in case, it is better to take the teleportation array."
Jiang Yao waved his hands and said, "It's okay, you can sit down, why can't I?"
What is he afraid of?
Although long-distance spaceships have crashed, the probability is very low after all.
Jiang Yao and others boarded the huge spaceship and were immediately arranged into the best positions.
This location has the best sightseeing and the best safety facilities. Moreover, it does not charge a piece of spiritual jade.
Because this is already a ginger medicine industry.
Every ferry ticket is making money for Jiang Yao.
Soon after Jiang Yao, Mu Yue and others boarded the ship, the spacecraft took off.
The spaceship flew out of the dock at an extremely fast speed, throwing Jiang Dongcheng into the sky in the blink of an eye.
In just a few breaths, the spacecraft flew into the clouds, passing through the clouds and fog like lightning. Although it was huge, its speed was faster than a six-stage spacecraft.
Two hours later, the spacecraft flew tens of thousands of miles away, and a majestic voice came:
"All crew members are listening to orders! Everyone is in their positions and ready for battle!"
"We are about to enter the endless desert ahead, so don't slack off!"
Just hearing a bang, many crew members flew out, wearing armor, and took up gun positions, crossbow positions, or stood beside the demon eagle.
It can be said to be well-trained.
Sure enough, not long after, an endless stretch of desert appeared below the spacecraft.
Entering the endless desert.
Many passengers became nervous.
Everyone is aware of the dangers of the Wujian Desert. Even the top-notch large-scale long-distance spaceships that are armed to the teeth are at risk of falling. If they fall in the depths of the desert, there is almost no chance of survival for anyone below the level of a Martial Saint.
However, the Infinite Desert is more than one million miles wide, and the edge areas are still safe.
At least there won't be any danger for a day.
"Fifteen scale left rudder!"
"Fifteen scale left rudder!"
The navigator's voice came, and the huge spacecraft began to adjust its direction and fly along a safe route.
That's right, the route is not the nearest straight line, but a twisting and irregular curve. This safe route has been explored over thousands of years.
If you go in a straight line, you can fly across the desert in five days, but if you really try that, you will almost always end up crashing.
The curved route seems very far and takes a lot of time, but it is also much safer.
Jiang Yao, Mu Yue, Jiang Xiucheng, Jiang Cai and others were sitting on the deck, enjoying the food.
Just like being a distinguished guest on a luxury cruise ship.
Jiang Yao chatted with Mu Yue while admiring the strange scenery of Wujian Desert.
"Look, that stone ruin is an ancient altar... That big pit was once a lake. The terrain of Wujian Desert is very complex..." Mu Yue introduced to his cousin.
I was very interested in ginger medicine at first, but after a few days I lost interest.
The spacecraft keeps changing direction, and sometimes flies in the opposite direction. Moreover, the flying altitude also keeps changing. Sometimes it flies very high, close to the void; sometimes it flies very low, close to the earth.
There are ups and downs, twists and turns. Many times, even the spiritual consciousness cannot detect the situation in the desert, and can only see a vast expanse.
After five or six days, the emotions of all passengers stabilized.
On the night of the seventh day, both Jiang Xiucheng and Jiang Cai went back to the quiet room to rest, leaving only Mu Yue and Jiang Yao drinking on the deck.
The bright moon in the desert and the starry sky in the vast sea are extremely beautiful. The clouds in early summer are also particularly pleasant.
"Cousin, when you go to Mu Clan this time, you must stay longer." Mu Yue said, "The best thing is to win the title of top ten young masters. Well, you are just in time, mid-August is the 12th
The annual Junior Master Ranking Tournament."
"I finished fourth in the last competition, and Yu Yan finished fifth. That was all twelve years ago."
Jiang Yao knew that this cousin was not a person who liked fame, so he asked: "My cousin cares so much about the title of young master, what is the benefit?"
Mu Yue said seriously: "The resources donated by the Great Chamber of Commerce every year are secondary. The most important thing is the experience opportunities in the major secret realms."
"Every ten or eight years, some secret realms are opened in various parts of the real world. These secret realms are not fixed, but are constantly moving and erratic."
"These secret realms are sometimes in the Demon Realm, sometimes in the Divine Continent, and sometimes they appear in the Demon Realm. Therefore, they are shared by the four tribes and no one can monopolize them. If a certain secret realm appears in a certain place, geniuses from the four tribes will be organized to enter together.
.”
"However, there is a quota limit for each entry. In the top secret realm, even the four tribes of teenagers can only enter a hundred."
"The opportunity to enter is the Young Master List. Only by entering the Young Master List can you enter the secret realm. Take the Central Region as an example, the top ten Young Master List, no matter what the secret realm, is a must to enter, and the treatment will be different depending on the ranking."
Jiang Yao asked: "What are the benefits of entering the secret realm? Treasure hunting? Training?"
Mu Yue smiled and said: "The treasures and opportunities in the secret realm are not trivial. Let's put it this way, most of the saint-level figures in the real world get their benefits from the secret realm."
"Whether it is martial arts or other ways, breaking through the saint level from the immortal level is the most difficult, far more difficult than breaking through the immortal level from the god level. Qualifications and resources alone are not enough, opportunities are also indispensable. Especially at the great saint level, opportunities
It’s even more important.”
"You are a Medicine Immortal now, but if you want to break through to Medicine Saint, even if you are a Medicine Spirit, it will not be achieved overnight. But if you have the opportunity of medicine, it will be different."
"The secret realm that is about to be opened next is called Feitian Immortal Tower. This tower only appears once in hundreds of years. The last time it appeared was in the Central Territory of the Divine Continent. This time it appears in the Demon Territory."
Jiang Yao suddenly became interested, "So, all the young geniuses from the three tribes are going to the Demon Realm?"
"That's right." Mu Yue nodded, "The Feitian Immortal Tower is not the most important secret realm, but it is also among the top three secret realms. It itself is said to be an innate space magic weapon from ancient times. Every time it appears, you will find good things and rare things.
opportunities.”
Jiang Yao was very confused, "Cousin, the secret realm of innate space that appeared in ancient times appeared once every few hundred years, so it has appeared at least a thousand times. Why do good things appear every time? It's rare that the good things in it can continue to appear.
come out?"
Jiang Yao has always believed that such so-called secret realms are illogical. The secret realms in fantasy novels seem to be intentionally left with opportunities and magic weapons that are inexhaustible and inexhaustible, which is outrageous.
Mu Yue smiled and said: "I don't know about that. In short, it is true that every few hundred years, new good things will be discovered. Treasures and opportunities are not fake. This has been the case since ancient times."
"Cousin, if you want to enter the Feitian Immortal Tower, you must be ranked on the young master list."
Although Jiang Yao was very interested, doubts still arose in his heart.
He always felt that this kind of secret environment was very suspicious.
It's not that the treasures and opportunities are fake, but that they appear suspicious, as if someone is deliberately arranging them.
While the two cousins were chatting, suddenly a shrill sound came from the spacecraft.
"B-B-B!"
Like a siren.
Immediately afterwards, a voice shouted: "A large number of soul-destroying blood bats were found! High alert!"
"High alert!"
Amidst the shouts, more than a thousand crew members all took their positions and skillfully operated the ship's weapons.
At the same time, a soul-shaking, gut-wrenching voice came. I couldn’t tell what the voice was, but it made me feel uncomfortable all over.
Jiang Yao and Mu Yue extended their spiritual consciousness and immediately discovered large areas of red tide.
This red tide is actually made up of countless bats. It is as scarlet as blood, even their eyes are blood red!
A bloodthirsty and violent aura came overwhelmingly.
"Captain, why don't you increase the distance?" Mu Yue asked.
"Mr. Mu, the space above this sky is unstable and can easily be swallowed up by space cracks," said an old crew member.
The flying speed of the soul-destroying blood bats is extremely terrifying. They can actually surround the spacecraft tightly and start to attack with terrifying howls.
The countless soul-destroying blood bats and the strange sound waves combined together to form a terrifying sound range, attacking the spacecraft's protective formation.
Boom boom boom!
"Fire!" Seeing the huge soul-destroying blood bats starting to attack the protective formation, the captain couldn't help but order the attack!
"shooting!"
Thousands of spiritual jade poured into the groove of the spiritual cannon, and piles of real iron projectiles poured into the huge barrel.
Immediately, several monks activated their true spiritual consciousness, jointly operated the mechanisms, and fired cannons.
"boom!"
The heavy spiritual energy cannon shook and spit out a ball of white light, like the sudden appearance of the scorching sun.
The terrifying power bombarded out, as if the sky was shattering and the earth was shattering, and the entire space seemed to be distorted.
Large swaths of soul-destroying blood bats were all turned into powder under this cannon.
Jiang Yao couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw the power of the ship's heavy artillery.
The power of this gun is that it is a nuclear bomb with a large yield.
