Zhang Jian only slightly weighed these two options before he made a decision.
He chose the second direction.
The first one, an empty emperor's destiny, is of no use to him.
He has no country, no country, no army of millions, and giving birth to such a destiny is simply bringing disaster to himself!
Empty name but no reality is a dead end!
Such a destiny is like standing out from the crowd, and it is difficult not to attract disaster.
As for fighting for the dragon, I don’t see much hope for the time being.
In Zhang Jian's view, rebellion must first have conditions. For example, if the government forces the people to rebel, everyone will have no choice but to rebel.
Now, although troubled times are beginning to appear, it is not yet time to rise up.
He also doesn't have enough political slogans to call on everyone to overthrow the great powers.
The sky is dead and the yellow sky should be established. May the world be blessed with good luck at the end of the year? The Daqian court has not yet come to an end!
Naturally, he had no way to bypass the imperial court, so the Dongshen Sect directly launched an army.
If he were to refine the Red Dragon Pearl and fulfill the emperor's destiny, he might be targeted by the Daqian Court immediately and would be completely unable to survive.
It is better to practice quietly and wait for the opportunity.
It’s not that he can’t wait!
As a cultivator, there is not much else, but his lifespan is quite long, and it is not impossible to survive the death of those few pillars of the imperial court.
No need to take risks now.
On the contrary, integrating the red dragon beads into the depths of the ancestral graves and refining them in this special way can not only benefit oneself, but also benefit the family, getting the best of both worlds.
After making up his mind, Zhang Jian was ready to find an opportunity to return the Red Dragon Pearl to his ancestral land in Fengxi.
…
The next day, at dawn, Zhang Jian took the initiative to express his intention to return to Fengxi County to worship his ancestors.
"Ayu, why do you suddenly have such an idea?"
Zhang Yi couldn't help but ask.
He knew that Zhang Jian often liked to go to the ancestral temple when he had nothing to do, but at this critical moment of Zhang family expansion, he actually wanted to go to the ancestral land to worship his ancestors, which was putting the cart before the horse.
"Father, I had a dream last night!"
Hearing this, Zhang Yi looked slightly surprised and he said doubtfully.
"Didn't you say that immortal cultivators can control their wandering thoughts and not dream easily?"
Facing Zhang Yi's gaze, he nodded and said, "So, I'm surprised, kid!"
"The child dreamed that there was green smoke coming out of the ancestral graves, and there was a red light under the earth in the shape of a dragon..."
"Shut up!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Yi waved his hand to signal Zhang Jian to stop talking. At this time, his face was solemn as never before.
At the same time, he glanced around the yard and saw that there was no one around, so he stared at Zhang Jian.
"Ayu, is what you said true?!"
"Absolutely true!"
There was a strange look in Zhang Jian's eyes. As he expected, his father did have some thoughts deep in his heart.
Zhang Yi hesitated slightly, but there was a look of joy in his eyes. In his opinion, this was a sign that the Zhang family would become prosperous.
What is the shape of the dragon, and the fate of the hidden dragon? Since ancient times, the birth of the great ancestors of the founding dynasties would have such strange signs.
Originally, he was already very satisfied with the current progress of the Zhang family, but now he has a trace of ambition in his heart again.
Troubled times are coming, can the Zhang family still have hope of becoming a vassal king?
Deep down in Zhang Yi's heart, he is unwilling to be lonely.
He ordered: "Ayu, please don't mention this matter to a third person!"
"As for going back to worship our ancestors, it's not impossible, but this time you can't make a big show of it. After you go back, you have to arrange for manpower to patrol around the ancestral land and strengthen inspections around the ancestral land to prevent anyone from ruining our Feng Shui!"
"I see!"
Zhang Jian nodded lightly. He was naturally aware of these taboos.
Zhang Jian also has some expectations for this. Since this Red Dragon Pearl is a rare treasure from Tianfu, it should have some special features. He doesn't know what impact it will have on him after being refined in the second way.
But before leaving, Zhang Jian still handed the strange-shaped sword to Zhang Yi.
Zhang Yi cannot be without guards to protect him. Zhang Yi will enter Fengyang County soon. Zhang Jian asked Zhang Yi to hand over this strange-shaped long sword to Zhang Yi.
…
In Qi Mansion, in a secluded place under the water, a dragon shadow flickered, and Bai Nu's figure slowly appeared in the Dragon Palace of the Water Well. After a moment, he appeared with a somewhat gloomy expression.
Although Huang Snake and Huang Yuan, the two Shuijing Dragon Kings, had some wealth, they were completely different from what he expected.
In addition, another discovery made him a little troublesome.
Huang Snake, although Huang Yuan is a snake species, he also has dragon blood in his body, and there may be another origin behind it. This time he entered the Shuijing Dragon Palace, hoping to find clues from it, so as to be more prepared, but no specific clues were found.
This made Bai Nu quite disappointed.
Bai Nu was slightly worried. For a moment, his face moved slightly. He followed an unknown feeling and left Shuijing Dragon Palace. He walked around Fengyang County.
When he appeared in front of the Zhang family's residence at almost dusk the next day, he looked in the direction of the Zhang family's residence with some surprise.
"Dragon Qi?"
He looked in the direction of the Zhang family's mansion with some uncertainty.
He had sensed an unknown pressure before, like other more ferocious beasts coming to his territory, and smelled that special smell.
But he never thought that this special smell came from the depths of the Zhang family's mansion.
The smell was extremely bland, but extremely amazing.
He immediately manifested his human body and turned into an old man to visit Zhang Jian, but soon he got the news that Zhang Jian was not in the mansion.
And almost indistinguishably, after Bai Nu left, a figure in black appeared out of thin air beside the Zhang family's mansion. There was a white bird on her shoulder, round and round, like a hen.
"left?"
This figure just glanced in the direction of the Zhang family's residence and immediately frowned.
She not only noticed signs of Phoenix Soul Beads around Zhang Jian's residence, but also strange and alien Qi, and the aliens were very tyrannical, which made her feel troubled.
…
On the official road, Zhang Lu leaned in front of Zhang Jian and whispered.
"Mr. Lang, why don't we say hello to the Qi family girls?"
He is referring to Qi Yuhua!
Riding on the horse, Zhang Jian's figure swayed with the luxurious transportation tool under his feet, and he said lazily.
"What do you say hello? We are not traveling far away!"
"Why do you care so much?"
Zhang Jian glanced at Zhang Lu, who had recently received pastries and snacks from Qi Yuhua's maid, and he suspected that this personal servant had been 'bought'.
Zhang Lu just smiled and said nothing.
The group of people were extremely fast and worked hard. This time they were faster than going to Fengyang County. They returned to Fengxi in two days.
The ancestral land of the Zhang family is located on the branch of Shuangfeng Mountain on the outskirts of Fengxi City, which is called Zhufeng Mountain.
It is an unknown mountain range, but it is full of tombs. Most of the Zhang family's graveyards a hundred years later are here.
The ancestral land of the main branch of the Zhang family is halfway up the mountain. It is extremely neatly maintained, with feng shui and all the beauty of the mountains and rivers gathered here.
It seems that the ancestors of the Zhang family also specially hired a qualified Feng Shui master to conduct special inspections for this purpose and found such excellent Feng Shui treasure points.
After Zhang Jian worshiped a little, he found a location where Feng Shui gathered and threw the red dragon beads into the depths of the Feng Shui cave.
I saw the red dragon beads falling, and the entire Zhufeng Mountain suddenly became turbulent and a ray of red light shot straight into the sky.
