At this moment, even the Pisces Jade Pendant cannot be used.
Because the Pisces Jade Pendant was hidden deep in the Purple Mansion by him, he could not summon it at all.
Only by holding the jade pendant in your hand can you take him away.
Even Jiang Yao was a little panicked at this time.
Really too greedy.
I knew this place was weird, but I still took the risk.
Li Xi's autumn eyes showed an unprecedented confusion, and the originally playful and bright expression now turned into a sad one.
"Junior Brother Jiang, I started practicing cultivation when I was five years old, and it has been nearly forty years now. I have never been so completely useless as I am now, and I am no different from an ordinary girl."
"This feeling is so uncomfortable. I have lost my power... This is what people without power feel like."
Jiang Yao looked at the faint green mountains in the distance with unspeakable emotion in his tone:
"This is what it feels like to be an ant. I felt like this back then. A little warrior could decide my life or death."
"A person without power has no choice, no matter how small the power or power. I didn't expect that today, I would taste that kind of precariousness."
Li Xi squinted her eyes and looked around blankly, "This place is very big, like another world. What should I do?"
Jiang Yao also frowned.
He has no time. He has to leave here as soon as possible and borrow the "Wanxiang Gu Sutra".
The two of them were at their wits' end, and after discussing it, there was no solution.
"Let's go, look around and see if there is a way out." Jiang Yao said helplessly.
Not far away, there is a huge ruins, which looked like a magnificent palace in those days.
The palace complex had been completely destroyed. The two of them walked forward on the broken walls. From time to time they found skeletons, but these skeletons had only been dead for decades and were not old.
Suddenly, a sound of grinding teeth came from behind a ruined wall, which sounded creepy.
Immediately afterwards, the fishy stench hit my nose, and I saw a giant salamander with red eyes, standing up suddenly, its body was more than ten feet tall.
The giant salamander still had a human bone in its mouth. When it saw the two of them, it hissed excitedly and suddenly pounced towards them.
Jiang Yao could tell at a glance that although this giant salamander was fierce, its strength was at most equivalent to a first-level low-level monster.
But if it were brought to the earth, it would still be a terrifying beast that tore apart ligers and hunted rhinos.
For Jiang Yao and Li Xi who had lost their cultivation, this giant salamander was already a formidable enemy.
The two people's power was blocked and their methods could not be used. Facing this giant lizard, they retreated continuously.
Although the two of them are physically strong and have considerable physical strength, the giant lizard is too dirty, smelly, and overpowering with fishy smell. They can't fight to the death with the giant lizard, right?
Too disgusting.
Jiang Yao couldn't help but took out a blue pistol from his sleeve and pulled the trigger.
shot!
There was a "bang", a blue light flashed, and the air vibrated.
The ferocious giant salamander didn't even have time to scream, its entire body collapsed like mud, and then melted into nothingness like ice cubes thrown into a furnace.
die!
The giant salamander that could have torn apart ligers and preyed on rhinoceros and elephants was completely destroyed by this shot.
Li Xi looked at Jiang Yao's pistol with curiosity and couldn't help but ask: "Junior brother Jiang, what kind of magic weapon is this and why can you still use it?"
Jiang Yao smiled and said: "This is an ancient mortal weapon. It's really not a magic weapon. It's called Luzi."
"Lazi?" Li Xi thought the name was strange. She found that the workmanship of this cradle was extremely exquisite, with an indescribable feeling.
This feeling is very strange, hard to describe in words, like... it shouldn't belong to the real world.
Could it be that ancient mortals still had such powerful weapons?
The power of this stick can even deal with low-level monks.
She wanted to take it over and have a look. But she knew that in this strange place, Jiang Yao's "luzi" was already a very powerful weapon and very sensitive, so she wisely did not make any request.
Of course, Jiang Yao would not take the initiative to show the pistol to Li Xi. If Li Xi took the pistol and pointed the gun at himself, he would not be able to cry.
It is essential to be on guard against others.
After all, Li Xi is not Yu Yan.
Nowadays, there are only a dozen capsule-sized bullets in pistols, so use one less bullet.
After his cultivation was banned, Jiang Yao's spiritual consciousness could not be used, his soul power induction had also dropped to the extreme, and his perception of danger was not much better than that of ordinary people.
The reaction speed is not much better than that of ordinary people.
He must rely on high-tech weapons such as Chinese pistols to deal with possible dangers.
Li Xi patted Wei Ran's heart and said, "With Junior Brother Jiang as our guide, we will be much safer."
She had no weapons and was even more panicked than Jiang Yao at this time.
Even the Gu insects in the insect nest have lost their power at this time. The shield talisman is also fully functional.
Although she has soft armor for body protection, the soft armor can only protect her chest, abdomen and back.
The two of them meandered southward, walking on two legs. They saw faint green mountains, vast green waters, and lush vegetation, but they couldn't see anyone for half a day, and they couldn't find a way out of this world.
It was really like a tiger falling on the plains and a dragon stranded on the beach, his eyes darkened, and he was indescribable panic.
"Sister Li, we need to find something to eat next." Jiang Yao said a little helplessly, "It's best to find a house to live in first."
"Junior brother Jiang, senior sister can only rely on you now. You have to protect me." Li Xi said with a pale face.
Unknowingly, she was walking behind Jiang Yao.
Fairy Xi, who is famous all over Shenzhou, is actually a little bit pathetic at this time.
"Senior sister, don't worry, I won't ignore you." Jiang Yao comforted, and suddenly stopped.
Li Xi almost bumped into Jiang Yao's back and quickly asked: "Junior Brother Jiang, what's wrong?"
"Cavalry." Jiang Yao said.
cavalry?
Li Xi took a look and saw dust flying in the distance, flags fluttering, and thousands of cavalry appearing in his sight.
These thousands of cavalry are not the army of the real world at all. Their horses are much slower than the Wanli horses, and they do not have the military power of the real cavalry.
This appears to be a cavalry composed of mortal men.
Li Xi didn't get any more information from this cavalry, but Jiang Yao was different.
When Jiang Yao was in China, he was an unknown historical scholar, and of course he did research on ancient cavalry.
He could see that although this cavalry was not as good as the real world, it was much more powerful than the ancient Chinese cavalry!
The war horse is half a head taller than the Chinese Mongolian horse, stronger and faster than the Dawan horse.
Ancient Chinese war horses, taking Mongolian horses as an example, generally traveled three hundred miles a day, with four hundred miles being the limit. But the cavalry in front of us obviously traveled more than five hundred miles.
Moreover, the knights on horseback have swords and spears like snow, their armor is bright, and their flags are hunting. They are whipping up their whips, showing their fierceness and equestrian skills. It is true that men are like tigers and horses are like dragons.
A thousand cavalrymen galloped forward, making a roaring movement, and looked quite powerful.
"This..." Li Xi had never thought that mortal cavalry could look like this.
In the blink of an eye, thousands of cavalry rushed to the front, and the word "Chu" was clearly written on the flag.
Next to the big banner with the character "Chu", there is also a banner with the character "plate" on it.
A middle-aged man wearing gorgeous armor, leading the way, looking majestic and majestic. He was surrounded by armored knights in front of him and behind him. He was obviously a noble man.
"Xilulu!" The nobleman's horse suddenly stopped, and a thousand cavalry were stationed together, all moving in unison.
The strong, tall horse snorted and scratched its hooves, giving off a faint aura of a ten-thousand-mile horse.
The thousand knights all have strong backs and sturdy auras, and they all carry a killing iron-blooded aura. At first glance, they look like elites who have experienced many battles.
Although Jiang Yao lost his consciousness, he could still see that these knights had strong muscles and strong blood, and their physical condition was superior to that of mortals on earth.
Not to mention a thousand such cavalry, even if there are a hundred of them, Jiang Yao and Li Xi, whose cultivation base has been sealed, are no match for them.
The noble man looked at Li Xi, who was as beautiful as a fairy and looked astonished.
It seems unimaginable that there are such stunning beauties in the world.
However, the burning and stunning look in his eyes quickly returned to clarity.
Then, the middle-aged nobleman looked at Jiang Yao.
"Eh... Could it be..." The middle-aged nobleman raised his eyebrows with a hint of joy.
This old gentleman looks to be over sixty years old. He has an immortal demeanor, a face like a crown jade, and a faint appearance of Chen Ning. Although he is old, he has a handsome demeanor and extraordinary appearance. I don't know how charming he was when he was young.
Even though this old gentleman has no beard and looks a little imperfect, he is still handsome and majestic. He is by no means a eunuch.
Although Chu State was a small and precarious country with a population of 10 to 20 million, he had never seen such an elegant old man and young girl.
This is not like a casual person at all.
The Imperial Master said that today, when you are hunting in the East, you will meet a noble person. Could it be that this old gentleman and this fairy-like woman are the noble people of Chu State?
When the middle-aged nobleman thought of this, he immediately dismounted and said: "Little Wang Panju, you are polite here. I didn't know that this old gentleman, with a great name, where is the fairyland, actually came to the Chu Kingdom."
As soon as he dismounted, all the thousand cavalry also dismounted and stood with their hands tied.
Xiao Wang? Chu State?
Old gentleman?
Although Jiang Yao was suspicious in his heart, there was no strange color on his face, and he responded calmly: "My surname is Zhong Mingda, and I come from the north."
The reason why Jiang Yao said he came from the north is that the climate here is very similar to the south.
"It turns out to be Mr. Zhong. When I see Mr. Zhong today, I will be overjoyed as if I saw a real person born." When Pan Bin saw that Jiang Yao met the King of Chu, he was neither humble nor arrogant. He was even like a person who had emerged from the world. She couldn't help but express her gratitude to the old man.
The demeanor is even more impressive.
Such an awe-inspiring old man was truly the only one he had ever seen in his life.
Even a respected old man like the Imperial Master cannot compare with the magnificence and magnificence of Mr. Zhongda.
Not to mention among the slaves, even among the nobles, I have never seen such a person.
As for the fairy-like woman behind him, all the beauties in his entire harem cannot be compared.
This pair of young and old must have a great background.
Jiang Yao said with a smile: "Your Majesty is talented and talented, and he will be a wise ruler of the country. I am very pleased."
This sounds like a compliment, but in fact, the attitude is very high, and it is completely the tone of an elder.
"Old sir, I am so complimentary. I am ashamed of myself. I am ashamed of myself. I dare you to ask who this person is..." Pan Bin forced herself to look away from Li Xi's face, and asked with a slightly respectful expression, changing the subject.
Jiang Yao smiled and said: "This is my young disciple Li Xi. This time I came north with me to experience the world of mortals and understand the sufferings of the people."
Li Xi's role changed very quickly, and she immediately smiled and said: "Master, you said before that if you meet a king in the south, you should form a good relationship. Doesn't this come true? Hehe."
She knew that this Panxi attached great importance to Jiang Yao and herself, and would never let the two of them leave easily. It was better to take advantage of the situation, settle down temporarily, and then inquire about the situation and figure it out slowly.
Pan Bin showed a look that was indeed the case, and said overjoyed: "It turns out that the old gentleman had already calculated that he would meet like this, and he is really a nobleman of our Chu country!"
After he finished speaking, he shouted: "I will pay my respects to Mr. Zhong as soon as possible!"
A thousand cavalrymen bowed down together: "Greetings to Mr. Zhong!" They all looked respectful.
"Get up." Jiang Yao looked graceful and naturally raised his hand, revealing his noble aura.
Even a fool can see that this old man has a lot of background.
Identity must be...not something to search for!
He must be an expert without a doubt!
Not only is this air of demeanor impossible to fake, but also the peerless beauty behind him, how can it be faked?
How can an old man with such a female disciple be so simple?
"Since Zhenren is here to experience the world of mortals, why don't you want to live in the royal city and serve me like a disciple?" Panju said, directly changing his title to Zhenren.
The title "Zhenren" is only used for people like the National Master in Chu State.
The reason why he said this was because the Imperial Preceptor had passed away. Before his death, the Imperial Preceptor said that if he went hunting north, he would meet a noble person today, and that noble person would probably be the new Imperial Preceptor.
And the one who can save the state of Chu from danger is this new national teacher.
How could Jiang Yao agree to stay in the Royal City for a long time? He thought carefully and said: "I can stay for a few days to see the scenery of the Royal City. But if you stay in the Royal City for a long time, it will go against the experience of the world of mortals and the understanding of suffering."
Pan Bin couldn't help but said, "In this case, the real person will condescend to you and stay at the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion for the time being. I want to ask the real person to take the position of the national preceptor. I wonder if the real person can condescend?"
At this time, he was impressed by Jiang Yao's "master and apprentice" demeanor, and he believed in the last words of the national master, so he firmly believed that Jiang Yao was the new national master.
In other words, he is willing to believe that someone like Jiang Yao is a national master.
The old god Jiang Yao nodded thoughtfully: "Well, since we are destined, I will just let it take its course. But I have something to say first. I am here to experience the world of mortals and understand the sufferings, not to enjoy the riches and honors of the world of mortals. This is the Imperial Master's Mansion, where I live
In a few days."
"I won't be able to hold the position of national master for long. The secret lies in fate."
Li Xi smiled and said: "Master, I'm tired of living a noble life. I really don't want to live in any Imperial Master's Mansion."
Jiang Yaodao: "This is all fate, let it take its course, it won't hurt to stay here for a few days."
Li Xi said obediently: "Yes, Master."
Both of them understood that at this time, they were unfamiliar with the place and had no cultivation. How far could they go with just two legs? Where could they go? What would they eat if they were hungry? Where would they live?
When the cultivation base is there, these are not problems. But when the cultivation base is sealed, these become problems, and they are still big problems!
Let's eat and drink first, that's for sure.
After listening to what the two of them said, Pan Bin believed even more deeply in the last words of the Imperial Master, and even more believed that Jiang Yao was extraordinary.
If he is a liar, why can he be so calm about the honor of the Imperial Master?
He has been the king for many years, and he has the ability to distinguish the good and bad characters, the good and the bad, and the good and evil.
Mr. Zhongda's calmness about glory and wealth is definitely not an act.
It's the indifference of an expert to worldly wealth.
"Master, please!" Pan Bin said without hesitation, "Here comes, prepare a car, please get in the car."
Immediately, a magnificent chariot drawn by four-horse horses drove out of the procession.
Jiang Yao and Li Xi boarded the carriage unceremoniously and were greeted respectfully.
The two of them got on the spacious high car, and their figures were hidden by the curtains of the car. Only then did they have the opportunity to speak in a low voice.
"There are a lot of weird things in this world, so don't be careless." Jiang Yao whispered.
Li Xi smiled, "Yes, Master."
Horse hooves roared outside the car. The two discussed in lowered voices for a while, and soon reached a consensus.
Half a day later, at sunset, the team arrived under the Chu King's city. Two cavalrymen rode out, raised the flag and shouted loudly: "The king has found the master of the state!"
"Okay, we have found a new national master, and our Chu country is saved!"
"I wonder how charming the new Imperial Master is."
When the nobles and subjects at the city gate heard the news, they all looked at the chariot with hope.
The old Imperial Master who just passed away was a man of immortal character. Is it possible that the new Imperial Master that the King has found today can be as good as the old Imperial Master?
But I saw King Panju saying: "Please ask the imperial master to send down the chariot, so that the people of the capital can have the opportunity to admire the beauty and listen to the jade sound."
Pan Bin was very courteous and virtuous, and his attitude could be described as very low.
All he had to do was to personally handle the horse and drive for the Imperial Master.
Um?
When everyone saw that the king was now showing sincere respect, they couldn't help but become even more curious.
As soon as the car curtain moved, an old man showed his face with a young girl.
Immediately, the old man and the girl got off the chariot with a smile.
Everyone was in awe when they saw the old man. Some even said directly:
"Is there such a person in this world? He is truly a heavenly being!"
"The Imperial Master has a crane-like posture and a majestic appearance. Only a person of great ability and virtue cannot have such an aura."
"Isn't it really a real person?"
They could not have imagined that the new Imperial Master would be even more impressive than the old Imperial Master!
There is also a girl behind the new Imperial Master, whose beauty is heavenly and fragrant. She is as beautiful as a fairy coming to the world. Even in the entire Chu State, there is no such peerless beauty.
Immediately, all the subjects who had the chance to see the master's grace were fascinated by the master and his disciples.
Obviously, the new national division is far better than they imagined.
"Greetings to the Imperial Master!"
"Greetings to the Imperial Master!"
Many people couldn't help but bow down one after another.
Jiang Yaodao: "Everyone, without any courtesy, I came north to Chu land just to experience the world of mortals and understand the suffering. Therefore, it is destined to come like white clouds and go like spring breeze. If it is not a mansion or a palace, it is a mean street."
Jiang Yao's vitality and longevity were consumed by the Heavenly Death Jue Gong, and even his voice no longer sounded like that of a young man, but became rich and steady.
The voice was so pleasant that everyone kept saying, "National Master Yuyin, how dare we not listen?"
Jiang Yao didn't hesitate at that moment, and was surrounded by the royal palace's welcoming ceremony and entered the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion near the palace.
Followers on foot, thousands of them.
Jiang Yao brought Li Xi into the Imperial Prefect's Mansion and was invited to sit down in the "Dazhen Hall", the main hall of the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion.
Soon after, the King of Chu's edict arrived.
King Panju of Chu personally worshiped Jiang Yao as "Dazhen Guoshi" in public, ranking above the ministers and the crown prince.
As a result, the Imperial Master's Mansion, which had just lost its owner, welcomed a new owner.
Immediately, hundreds of officials and the crown prince also came to pay homage to Jiang Yao in person.
Panju said: "It's getting late now. The imperial master has just arrived and has traveled far across the mountains and rivers. I won't disturb the imperial master's rest."
"After the Imperial Master takes a rest, we will hold a banquet in the palace tomorrow to welcome the Imperial Master."
This is of course a very polite thing to do.
Jiang Yao said with a smile: "Your Majesty, if you please, I'll see you tomorrow."
The King of Chu took out a golden key and said: "This is the golden key left by the former Imperial Master before his death. He said it would be left to the new Imperial Master. This golden key can open the bronze box left by the former Imperial Master."
"That copper box is no small matter. It is a secret left by the former Imperial Master, so it was handed over to the Imperial Master for safekeeping."
His expression was solemn, and he obviously cared deeply about the secrets left by the former Imperial Master.
The State of Chu handed over the golden key, and told the servants in the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion to serve the new Imperial Preceptor as they had served the previous Imperial Preceptor, and then he drove back to the palace with peace of mind.
Jiang Yao and Li Xi took charge of the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion just one day after arriving in this place.
It's also really good luck.
"Master Imperial Master, please have a meal." As soon as the King of Chu left, the diners from the Imperial Master's Mansion respectfully came to the "Dazhen Hall" to ask for instructions on ginger medicine.
Jiang Yaodao: "Don't be in a hurry to eat. You can take me to the Imperial Master's study first."
"No." The diners didn't dare to disobey, so they respectfully brought Jiang Yao and Li Xi to the quaint and noble Imperial Master's study.
The Imperial Master's study is heavily guarded, with four people guarding it. If he had not seen the new Imperial Master coming, he would never have been allowed to enter.
The style of this study is also very ancient, and everything that comes into view is from the Yin Yang family. In Jiang Yao's trance, he seemed to see an old man with a pale face sitting in front of the case, reasoning and performing calculations.
Jiang Yao saw at a glance that there was a copper box on the case, placed in the most important position.
"You guys go out." Jiang Yao ordered, full of the magnanimity of a superior.
"Nuo." Several people bowed their hands respectfully and left, closing the door behind them. Only Jiang Yao and Li Xi were left.
The first thing the two of them did was to read the slips. Because only these slips could let them understand what kind of world this was.
After flipping through the slips, both of them raised their heads in surprise.
The answers to many things have been found in the slips, or the answers have been known from the side.
This Chu State is just a small and precarious country, an oasis in the desert. It relies on the natural dangers of the desert to survive.
Outside the desert, there are still various forces. Those forces are mainly charm tapirs and blood demons, as well as various weird monsters that cannot be named.
These powers are in conflict with each other, and there is danger, ferocity, death, and endless killing everywhere.
However, no one knows how big the world outside the desert is.
All I know is that the world is very, very big.
The Chu Kingdom is the only existing human kingdom known to the Chu people.
Jiang Yao and Li Xi flipped through the slips for a long time, and then they confirmed that this world is indeed a mortal world. They have never heard of monks who fly to heaven and escape from the earth, and there are no cultivators as powerful as "gods".
Even the terrorist forces outside the desert are only murderous and ferocious, and have their own weird methods. They are far inferior to the monsters and monsters in the real world.
"Let me take another look at the copper box left by the old Imperial Master." Jiang Yao took out the golden key and opened the mysterious copper box under Li Xi's pleading eyes. First he saw half a volume of very ancient letters.
Jiang Yao picked up the slip and looked at the long handwriting on the cover. With great difficulty, she read out the four words "The Chronicles of Taizu".
The Anthology of Taizu!
Could it be the origin of the founding king of Chu State?
A king also has "Ben Ji"?
Jiang Yao turned over the first page and was suddenly stunned.
He blinked hard, but found that he had read it correctly. Although the handwriting on it was very old, it clearly said:
"Emperor Wu, Taizu of Dayue, is a descendant of the Jiang family. He was born in Wanshan and grew up in Jiujiang."
"My great-grandfather was taboo about separation, and the great ancestor of Dayue was Emperor Jing. My mother-in-law was taboo about concubine Yao, and she was empress dowager Taimu."
"... Taizu destroyed Jiang Ming, pacified Yu and Zhou, surrendered to Pan Chu, swallowed Hai Qi, suppressed Yang Sui, unified the true world, and was favored by heaven..."
""In the fifth year of his true life... he captured Pankang, the leader of Chu, destroyed Chu, and unified the witchcraft domain. Taizu felt sorry for Pankang's talents and could not bear to kill him. He treated the Chu people kindly and persuaded him to surrender five times. Pankang felt the virtue of Taizu and surrendered.
Appointed as the general of Tianjian...for his outstanding achievements, he was granted the title of King of Chu..."
"In the seventh year of his true life... Jiang Yao, the leader of the false Ming Dynasty, died suddenly. The army of the false Ming Dynasty was in chaos. Taizu took advantage of the situation to attack the Ming Dynasty and defeated it. The false Ming Dynasty was destroyed. Taizu took pity on Jiang Yao as his younger brother, ordered a generous burial, and accepted him as a clan member.
Call Jiang Yao the King of Sorrow..."
"...In the eighth year of Zhenming's life, Yu Kuan, the leader of the puppet Zhou Dynasty, personally led an army to attack Yue. Taizu Yujia personally conquered it and defeated it. The army of the puppet Zhou Dynasty was defeated. Yu Kuan died in battle, and the puppet Zhou Dynasty was destroyed... Dai Yue was full of Shenzhou and
Witchland."
"... In the tenth year of his true life, Taizu Fuhai personally went on a personal expedition, and the pseudo-Qi ruler Hai Haihuan was defeated and surrendered. Taizu accepted her as his concubine... In the twelve years of his true life, the puppet Sui Dynasty was destroyed..."
Jiang Yao stared blankly at this ancient history book, and his whole body was stunned.
