Chapter 170 New clues to the natural disaster! Xu Chong and Lou Youzhi coincidentally coincidentally!
Not far from the clan meeting hall is the clan banquet hall of the Fang family.
At this time, there were already many people from the Fang family sitting in the banquet hall, most of them were young people, and both men and women had excellent appearance.
But all these people's attention was focused on a boy of about sixteen years old.
It was Li Xiangxue who came out of Chunqiu Hall.
While they were drinking and drinking, the conversation was very "enthusiastic".
"Brother Li probably doesn't know the history of our Fang family, right?"
"I'm not afraid to tell you that the inheritance of our Fang family is longer than the existence of Daqing."
"I'm not lying to you. The clan elders told us that the founder of Daqing got help from our Fang family before he was able to establish Daqing."
"It's okay not to talk about those capricious villains."
"In short, our family's heritage is so profound that you can't even imagine it."
"I heard that Ji Qingzhi is your master?"
"Haha, you must not know that Ji Qingzhi also has to obey the orders of our Fang family."
"Oh no, it should be said that the entire Taiping Road must obey the orders of our Fang family."
"Why hasn't Daqing been able to wipe out Taiping Dao for so many years? Is it true that they can't wipe out Taiping Dao?"
"Of course not."
"But Daqing knows that as long as our Fang family is here, Taiping Dao cannot be destroyed."
"..."
This is the argument of the young men of the Fang family.
Belittle the Taiping Dao General Sect, ignore the Zheng and Lin families, and blow the Fang family to death.
Of course, in their minds, this is not bragging, but seeking truth from facts.
As for the young women, they showed a completely different attitude.
Either subtle, fiery, pure, or charming...
Each and every one of them is of top-notch beauty, which is a pleasure to look at.
It is both status and power, wealth and beauty.
If a normal young man were to come here, he would probably fall into trouble very soon.
Unfortunately, Li Xiangxue is not normal.
"Although he is already sixteen years old, ten of these sixteen years were spent in Chunqiu Hall..."
Fang Manxia frowned slightly, "How can he have such a character?"
In order to allow the younger members of the clan to give full play to their full potential, and to allow Li Xiangxue to relax his vigilance, the elders of the clan were placed further apart.
However, Li Xiangxue's cheerful and sophisticated manner made everyone feel unhappy.
Now, the imminent collapse of the Spring and Autumn Tomb is no longer a secret among the clan elders.
The internal battles in the past instantly became insignificant in the face of such a major external crisis.
Even the sixth and seventh rooms, which were the least dealt with, have calmed down a lot.
"Presumably Ji Qingzhi had warned him before he came in, and even trained him in this aspect."
Fang Lezhong sighed, "If I want to lure him with benefits, I'm afraid there is no hope."
"It's a matter of family survival. If you can't use external inducements, you can use threats of life and death."
Fang Leshan, the second-fang clan elder, said coldly, with a murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
"Aunt, is there any news about Wu Xiangyi outside?"
Fang Letian, the elder of the Qifang clan, asked.
As soon as the words fell, everyone looked at Fang Manxia with hope.
"This matter is a bit strange."
Fang Manxia's frown deepened, "According to past information from our Fang family, there are at least a dozen Wuxiang robes that have survived to this day, but since Emperor Yongtai ascended the throne, these Wuxiang robes have all disappeared one after another."
"Auntie, what you mean is that the imperial court is collecting Wuxiang clothes?"
Fang Leshan was a little puzzled, "It's possible to say that one or two coins are possible, but if they are all... what does the court want to do?"
The unique function of Wuxiang Yi makes it extremely difficult for anyone who wants to actively find it.
What is the population of Daqing?
Counting in the tens of thousands.
In such a huge base, you can imagine how difficult it is to find a dozen people pretending to be others.
Even if the court does this, it will consume huge manpower and material resources.
In addition, Wuxiang Yi only has the function of changing the appearance. For the imperial court with huge resources, its value can be said to be pitifully low, and it is impossible to spend so much money to find it, let alone find it all.
"Infiltrate Taiping Road?"
Fang Letian raised his eyebrows, and immediately denied this argument himself, "The imperial court knows that the foundation of Taiping Dao lies in the three ancient tribes, and cannot find the caves of the three ancient tribes. It is meaningless to infiltrate Taiping Dao."
"The purpose behind this is still unknown."
Fang Manxia shook her head, "The latest news right now is that Wei Wuxie and the Wuxiang Yi owned by the water ghost."
"Wei Wuxie, I know."
Fang Lezhong spoke in a deep voice, "He disappeared after seizing the fragments of the Immortality Sky in Canglong County. He has not been seen yet. He must have been hiding to repair the rules of longevity."
"Hey, a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers."
Fang Leshan smiled disdainfully, "Those are the complete rules of immortality. They are no more scattered than Huanzhentian. If you want to repair it, I'm afraid you have to drain a blessed place... I don't want to think about how such a good thing came about."
his."
"Speaking of this, Ji Qingzhi also wanted to get involved, right?"
The elder of the Jiufang clan said meaningfully, "He is not a young man like Wei Wuxie. What does he want to do?"
"Don't worry about this."
Fang Manxia waved her hand, "In such a long time, even my Fang family was almost wiped out because of the Changsheng Heaven. Facts have proved that it is better to destroy this disaster."
"Too."
Fang Leshan nodded and said with a smile: "Once someone becomes the Lord of the Changsheng Heaven, the Changsheng Heaven will declare to the heaven and the earth and congratulate the heaven and the earth together... It is also the fault of the evil sect."
"That water ghost, does anyone know what's going on?"
Fang Lezhong brought the topic back on track.
"I know, I was in charge of side affairs at that time."
The elder of the Sifang clan said, "But there is no need to count on this. The water ghost was killed by Lu Zhong, and the Wuxiang Yi has fallen into the hands of the imperial court."
"This is going to be difficult..."
Everyone's faces were not very pretty.
After a long time, the elder of the Bafang clan suddenly said: "I have something to do, I don't know if it will be useful."
Fang Manxia's expression moved slightly, "Just tell me."
"It was like this about two years ago."
The old man from the Bafang Clan recalled it and said slowly: "When I was on duty, a branch reported to me that the spies stationed in Dingtian Mansion accidentally discovered a strange thing that could be used."
"Probably, the crown prince of Duke Cheng Guo secretly contacted the Taiping Dao Anzi and wanted to kill Duke Cheng Guo through Taiping Dao."
"In order to win the trust of people in Taiping Dao, the Crown Prince of Chengguo threatened to say that Wei Wuxie, the son of Wuxie Dao, was actually his nephew Duan Wuxie in disguise."
Wei Wuxie is Duan Wuxie in disguise?
Everyone looked at each other, and everyone had a look of surprise.
"Our spies felt that there was something in this matter, so they reported it to the branch. When the branch heard that it was Wei Wuxie and related to the fragment of the Immortal Sky, he contacted the Chunqiu Tomb."
The Bafang clan elder shook his head helplessly, "I think even if this matter is true, it is unlikely that Wei Wuxie will be found. In addition, the value of the fragment of the Eternal Life Sky is relatively low, so it was not mentioned at the clan elders meeting."
"Is this so..."
Fang Manxia thought thoughtfully, "In this case, we can ask the side branch to send someone to contact this son of Duke Cheng Guo. If it is valuable, it is not impossible to help him kill Duke Cheng Guo."
"I'll take care of this."
Fang Leshan said, "I happen to be in control of the bloodline communication right now."
"pay close attention."
Fang Manxia nodded and looked at Fang Lezhong: "This is a critical time for our Fang family. As for Fang Xianzong, I hope you can persuade him and let him understand the importance."
"..."
Fang Lezhong showed hesitation and nodded after a moment: "I will try my best."
In fact, this is not the first time Fang Manxia has told him this.
What are you advising Fang Xianzong to do?
Of course, he was persuading Fang Xianzong to sacrifice himself for others, so as to increase the spread of supernatural powers in the Fang family.
Fang Le was helpless, and just as he was thinking, the approach of a figure caught his attention.
It was ‘Fang Xianzong’ who had just come out of the Library Pavilion.
"Elders of the clan."
Xu Chong cupped his fists in greeting, with an extremely complicated expression on his face.
"You can still remain calm and have a good temper."
Fang Manxia looked at Xu Chong deeply, "However, I didn't expect you to come out early... But what's the gain?"
"I have some ideas."
Xu Chong made random nonsense.
"Um?"
Fang Manxia was slightly startled.
She had already read the Tianxuan Annals, but she didn't think there was any information that could inspire the practice of magical powers.
“You need to try it to know whether it will work or not.”
Xu Chong responded.
Fang Lezhong and Fang Manxia looked at each other, stood up and left their seats: "Xianzong, come with me."
Xu Chong didn't know why, so he followed him to a quieter place.
"There is something I must let you know."
Fang Lezhong sighed, "The Spring and Autumn Tomb will soon collapse."
"What?!"
Xu Chong cooperated and showed his horror.
Fang Lezhong glanced at the other side of the banquet to make sure that the juniors were not paying attention here, and then continued: "I only learned about it recently."
"A hundred years ago, there were three heaven-level tombs that were a hundred times older like Chunqiu Hall."
"That's the three ones on the top of the mountain."
"In addition, there are ten underground tombs that are fifty times older."
"There are also Xuanjie, Huangjie... they are far beyond what I think of now."
"It is said that in the earliest times, all the tombs in the entire Spring and Autumn Tomb were a hundred times older."
"Over the course of thousands of years, the Spring and Autumn Tombs have gradually weakened, until now."
"Two years later, the entire Spring and Autumn Tomb will collapse..."
After finishing speaking, Fang Lezhong did not forget to warn: "Only the clan elders know about this matter at present. Don't spread it out, it will cause panic among the clan members."
Xu Chong pretended to be silent for a moment, and then followed the conversation and asked: "Is there any way to delay the decline of Dongtian?"
"No."
Fang Lezhong shook his head.
Xu Chong felt disappointed.
Fang Lezhong suddenly changed the topic: "It's not impossible. The clan leader told us that if we want to delay the decline of Dongtian, we must consume the same bloodline as the controller of Dongtian."
What?!
Xu Chong couldn't control it for a moment and showed a horrified expression.
"You don't have to worry."
Fang Lezhong waved his hand, as if he was not surprised by Fang Xianzong's reaction, "This method is not suitable for our Fang family. The patriarch has already explained it to us."
"Consuming the blood of the tribe is just an introduction. In addition to the introduction, more than ten times the ordinary population needs to be slaughtered."
"Not to mention whether we can hide it from Daqing, based on the number of people in our family, even if all the direct and collateral branches are exterminated at once, it can only delay this decline for about ten years, and it will still be
It doesn’t mean much if you can’t stop the decline.”
"What's more, if all the clan members are dead, why do we need Dongtian?"
Fang Lezhong sighed, with a confused look on his face: "It's better to just give up on Dongtian and disperse the clansmen to various places."
"Is this so..."
Xu Chong forced himself to calm down on the surface.
"My character is really good."
Fang Lezhong nodded appreciatively, and then continued: "The reason why I tell you this is because the eldest brother hopes that you will make more sacrifices."
"Sacrifice more...what do you mean?"
Xu Chong failed to react.
"After you have mastered your magical power, you can teach it to a few more people."
Fang Lezhong's tone was a little helpless, "I can't help you stop this critical moment for the Fang family."
"Chang Fang clearly knows that reading the Tianxuan Annals will make you lose your sense of belonging to the family, so why would he agree to let you enter the library?"
"This is a statement of attitude, a tough attitude."
"so……"
Fang Lezhong hesitated to speak, looking a little guilty.
"I see."
Xu Chong thought for a moment and suddenly laughed, "Uncle, there is no need to worry about it. I just agree."
Fang Lezhong was slightly surprised and said curiously: "I thought you would hesitate."
"If it were before entering the library, I would definitely hesitate."
Xu Chong looked indifferent, "But I have already seen the Tianxuan Annals..."
In the middle of the Tianxuan era, after the three major families left Daqing, they reunited with Taiping Road as the hub.
In order to return to land, the three families exchanged knowledge, studied together, communicated together, and made progress together for a long time.
However, the three major families at that time did not have absolute control over their tribesmen and followers.
Until a cave on the edge of decline was discovered from the deep sea.
No one knows the name of the cave and the rules.
All I know is that when the cave was discovered, it was filled with a large number of incorporeal beings who were as insubstantial as the ghosts in the legend.
At that time, the new cultivation system had not yet been developed to its extreme, and the highest among the three major families was the ninth level of Tongmai.
As a result, as soon as he entered, these void beings entered his body, causing him to become confused and eventually die of madness.
Originally, the three major families were ready to abandon this evil cave. However, not long after, the cave completely collapsed and exploded into countless fragments.
Then, a method of controlling the life and death of others was born, which was composed of Dao medicine and cave heaven fragments.
In a large area of the seabed where the cave sky collapsed, some changes occurred in the plants.
Using it as medicine, you can make a Taoist medicine named Soul-Breaking Pill.
As the name suggests.
The soul-absorbing pill can absorb a ray of a person's soul.
The fragment of the cave known as the soul-locking seal can contain this ray of soul and use it to control the life and death of the soul itself.
So what? In the dream, the third time the seal is released, life and death will be controlled. In fact, the three major families mixed the soul-stirring pill into the blood pool of heaven and earth.
There is no need for a third time. As long as the three major families want to, they can control life and death after the first unblocking.
It's just that Tao medicine is not easy to refine, so it is wasted on low-level people lazily.
The direct lineages of the three major families are different.
In order to ensure the cohesion of the family, as soon as all direct descendants are born, a wisp of their soul will be extracted by the soul-stirring pill.
Anyway, this ray of soul is extremely subtle and has almost no impact on the qualifications and longevity.
Be it Fang Lezhong or Fang Manxia, even the patriarch himself was in this situation before inheriting the position of patriarch.
Therefore, faced with the request of the head of the house, ‘Fang Xianzong’ had no choice at all.
Xu Chong sneered secretly and said: "Uncle, don't worry, I will develop my magical powers as soon as possible."
Seeing this, Fang Lezhong said no more, nodded and said: "There is no rush at this moment. Since you are here, let's join the banquet first and communicate with our peers."
"Speaking of this...is he the one Ji Qingzhi sent?"
Xu Chong looked towards the other side of the banquet and said, "When did the direct descendants of our Fang family fall to the point of currying favor with the Taoist Master?"
"This is to prepare for the collapse of the cave. You can communicate with him and don't reveal the collapse of the cave or your magical powers."
Fang Lezhong didn't explain much and turned around and walked towards the banquet.
Xu Chong twitched his lips and just stood there, sorting out and summarizing the information he had just received.
First, in the Spring and Autumn Tombs, all the tombs had the rules of the passage of time, and they were all a hundred times older.
Since the weakening of Dongtian, this rule has gradually weakened, and even narrowed in scope, turning the tombs at the foot of the mountain into ordinary tombs without rules.
This point made Xu Chong naturally think of Emperor Yongtai.
After hiding behind the curtain and not appearing for so many years, is it possible that... the back hall of Tianji Temple behind the curtain is also such a cave where the scope of rules has been narrowed due to decline?
I have to say, this is very possible.
Second, the only way to delay the decline of Dongtian is to consume the bloodline of the person who controls Dongtian.
Xu Chong clearly remembered what King Qian said when he first met him.
"Taizu was unruly by nature. Today, at least half of the adult population can be considered a blood descendant of Taizu."
If the first point is true, then this second point once again proves the first point from the side!
Emperor Yongtai controls a cave that is in decline. He uses natural disasters to kill people. What he kills is not the refugees, but the descendants of the refugees, the common people with the blood of Taizu!
"Suppose, suppose this is all true."
Xu Chong's reason outweighed his emotions, and he began to make quick calculations based on this.
"The total number of direct and collateral branches of the Fang family is almost 100,000."
"Using a hundred thousand people as a guide and killing a million people can delay the decline of the Spring and Autumn Tombs for ten years."
"And the drought in Bingzhou killed eight million people. If half of them died, that would be 400,000 blood descendants."
"According to the delay ratio of the Spring and Autumn Tombs, the 400,000 blood descendants who died in Bingzhou should be able to delay the decline of Emperor Yongtai's cave for forty years."
"But in fact, only eighteen short years have passed from the Bingzhou drought to the Binzhou sea boil, which does not correspond to the situation."
"Even if Emperor Yongtai delayed the decline of Dongtian in advance just to be safe, there is no need to advance it more than twenty years..."
Xu Chong frowned deeply.
After a moment, a flash of lightning flashed through my mind.
"No!"
"According to the above!"
"If Emperor Yongtai's cave is a top-grade cave, it will be able to match it!"
The imperial prison is a low-grade cave. The seventh level produces 2 points of spiritual energy per day.
The Spring and Autumn Tomb is a middle-grade cave, and the Spring and Autumn Hall produces 4 points of spiritual energy per day.
A middle-grade cave is twice as big as a low-grade cave.
If nothing else, the top-grade cave is twice as big as the middle-grade cave!
It is very likely that the delay cost of a high-grade cave is twice that of a middle-grade cave.
In other words, those 400,000 blood descendants could only allow Emperor Yongtai to delay the decline of Dongtian for twenty years!
In addition, the actual figures will definitely not be so accurate, and Emperor Yongtai will definitely calculate some advance amounts...
The eighteen-year interval between natural disasters is just right!
"It still needs to be verified."
"The interval between the sea boil in Binzhou and the locust plague in Yongzhou was a little more than eleven years and less than twelve years. But I don't know the population changes in Binzhou before and after the sea boil. I need to check it out in the capital."
"Once it is verified again, it means..."
"As long as I know the death toll in Yongzhou, I can roughly judge when the next natural disaster will come!"
Before this, whether it was Xu Chong or Dou Tianyuan, they could only judge the location of the next natural disaster based on the vacancies of officials.
It is impossible to predict when a natural disaster will strike.
If you could predict the time and place at the same time...
This will prevent natural disasters from killing people.
what happens?
At this moment, Xu Chong and Lou Youzhi coincided with each other and thought of the same place.
But because of the difference in information, Xu Chong also thought of another point of contradiction.
The intervals between natural disasters are getting shorter and shorter.
If natural disasters were completely under the control of the Daqing Emperor and were only used to delay the decline of Dongtian, then this interval should tend to be a fixed value.
"Anyway, I finally got something extra from the Fang family... It's time to deal with Li Xiangxue's matter."
Xu Chong's mood became much brighter, and he turned around and walked towards the banquet.
Seeing 'Fang Xianzong' approaching, all the senior Fang family disciples couldn't help but restrain themselves. Only the people in the sixth room greeted him warmly.
Now, 'Fang Xianzong' is a very important figure in the entire Xianzi generation.
If there was an order from the clan elders that they could not offend Li Xiangxue, then from the bottom of their hearts, they did not want to offend Fang Xianzong.
Supernatural power is one thing, but in one fell swoop, he cultivated the Dao Huangting, instantly making Fang Xianzong the leader of the Xianzi generation.
Don’t forget, there is no guilt in killing each other.
Xu Chong walked through a table with an expressionless expression.
There was no way, even if he didn't recognize the people in the sixth room, it would be better not to respond to them all.
When he reached Li Xiangxue's side, someone had already moved out of the way.
Xu Chong took his seat unceremoniously and looked at Li Xiangxue: "I am Fang Xianzong from the sixth room. What do you call this little brother?"
"..."
There was something strange on Li Xiangxue's young face.
He was certain that this was the first time he was introduced to the man in front of him who called himself Fang Xianzong.
But for some reason, his mind actually started to throb when the other person spoke.
I can't tell you what it feels like, it's just weird...
Li Xiangxue suppressed his thoughts and politely clasped his fists: "Li Xiangxue has met Brother Fang."
They all call me Brother Fang.
Xu Chong sighed secretly and said with a smile: "Looking at Brother Li's appearance, I feel a little friendly for no reason. How about I take you to visit Chunqiu Mountain after the banquet?"
absurd……
The younger members of the Fang family at the table all looked astonished.
Spring and Autumn Mountain?
What kind of argument is this?
Isn't it just a tomb...
In fact, almost all the Fang family members dislike this tomb.
If it weren't for the fact that the appearance of the tomb couldn't be modified and the area at the foot of the mountain was small, I'm afraid the place would have changed a long time ago.
Also visited Chunqiu Mountain...
Only a fool would accept such a weird invitation.
All the fellow characters remained calm, ready to see Fang Xianzong’s joke.
However.
"That's fine."
Li Xiangxue nodded, "I've always been very curious about the noble land, but I'm just afraid of breaking the rules here, so I don't dare to move around without permission."
"Since Brother Fang is so elegant, I can do whatever I want."
