Controlling the "Guide Car" to go westward against the current, Wei Hao quickly observed the changes in the national destiny along the way. The local weather was completely out of control.
Blood and white intertwined into the sky, most of them were places where war broke out. Rebels, government troops, peasant troops, rural warriors...all kinds of teams, wrapped together, with murderous intent.
When black and blood are mixed together, there are a lot of demons and demons. Many of the local gentry and dignitaries have gone against the grain in order to seek immortality. Collusion with demons is nothing. What's more, "demonization" and "possession" abound.
These were still very rare things before Wei Hao passed the exam.
But now, the once prosperous places on both sides of the Taiwan Strait have become less eye-catching.
The one hundred and twenty miles of water in Chaohu Lake have actually become a clean land, Taiping Township.
"It's ridiculous..."
Although Wei Hao was sighing with emotion, he was not in a hurry. Even if he had the heart and ability to conquer demons and demons, he could not be in a hurry.
If you are anxious, you will lose your reason and calmness and become confused.
"Colluding with demons is probably one of the choices made by the rich and powerful in the Great Xia Dynasty."
I came to this conclusion not because of prejudice, but from observation of the chaos on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.
From the perspective of pure interests with no human nature, it is very reasonable.
As long as the national destiny is still there, the suppression of non-human beings will exist objectively; the suppression of extraordinary cultivation will also exist objectively.
As long as those former famous officials who have abdicated their thrones in favor of others or have lived in seclusion are unwilling to end their lives hastily, or to lose their power before they have even enjoyed it, then this unwillingness will become motivation and determination.
Determination to seek immortality!
No matter the cost, everything is a price!
The flesh and blood of the people under his rule is what the demon desires. Food, then give it!
As long as the demon attracts the attention of the demon exterminator, there is nothing he can't give.
If it is exposed, the young men of the family will serve as soldiers, and the demons will help, and there is nothing wrong with separatist rule and occupying the mountain as king.
The great Xia Dynasty's irreversibility is the common goal.
Wei Hao forced himself to observe everything with a cold eye, and finally came to a conclusion: "It seems that we must seize the time to strengthen our power. If it is the last resort, only if we have a knife in our hands can we be invincible."
From this point of view, Wang Fubo's decision was really ruthless.
Wang Fubo's loyalty to the Great Xia Dynasty has not faded, and he has not betrayed, but in his eyes, the possibility of the Great Xia Dynasty's survival may have been zero.
All that's left is choice.
Wang Fubo did not choose Wei Hao because "a good bird chooses the right tree to roost in", but because in these troubled times, there are too few individual heroes.
Wei Hao, at least, is still a human being.
"The big water monkey's test in Chao Lake should be just the beginning. If I were it, what should I do next?"
Putting himself in his shoes, Wei Hao imagined himself as a peerless demon king with no humanity at all. Since the "Water Ape Great Sage" has been suppressed, its greatest vision is to break away from the seal and regain freedom.
All the layouts, calculations and even the turmoil caused should be aimed at this goal.
"Then, there should be arrangements for both the government and the public. To monopolize power in the government and gain fame in the opposition, and to be far away from the government, it is natural to have many soldiers and generals, and a huge momentum..."
"No, it should be more than that."
Wei Hao stood in the "Guide Car" and reorganized. His layout was still too small. This was only within the Great Xia Dynasty.
not enough.
There are nine states in the world, and the Great Xia Dynasty was only a human dynasty that dominated the Chinese states.
Overseas, there are eight states.
"Not only that, eight overseas states are not enough."
Wei Hao rethought the process of the Great Water Monkey's suppression, and then made a decisive decision, "Kunlun Mountain, the passage to heaven, is also an important link. Among the gods of Kunlun Mountain, there must be arrangements for it. Just like the golden monkey in the 'Dragon Tomb'
Same."
The Three Realms are the most basic scope that the "Water Ape Great Sage" should consider.
So Wei Hao took out the "Sixth Layer of Earthly Immortals" again. When it came to the most special treasures, the "powers" of the underworld, Wei Hao was just shocked, not curious.
But this "Six Levels of Earthly Immortals" is very famous.
Yuan Junping, an old Taoist priest with a strong nose, is very weak in terms of strength, but he can control the world and the land. There are countless powerful people who can kill him, among them is one of the three soul incarnations of the "Water Ape Great Sage", the protector of the Great Xia Dynasty.
National Master Yuan Hong.
And Yuan Hong, at least in name, is Yuan Junping's nephew.
"Old Yuan is definitely not simple. He claims to have magical talents. If it is true, how can a person be so sure? Even if the self-confidence of a genius is being hunted down and ravaged all the time, it will not stop him."
Wei Hao thought about it and suddenly thought of a possibility, "Could it be that Old Yuan was originally a god and just returned to the human world for some reason?"
If so, it would be much more reasonable.
Wei Hao even gave Yuan Junping some ideas for why he walked on earth, for example, monitoring the birth of Yuan Hong, his eldest nephew.
It's not impossible.
"Hmm... This can also explain why he has the heel and legs of so many earthly immortals..."
After Wei Hao reconnected many things, he came to an inaccurate general conclusion.
That is, the "Water Ape Great Sage" is trying every means to regain his freedom. To this end, he has been working hard and laying out plans in the Three Realms, and there are not a few people in the Three Realms who provide conveniences openly and covertly.
At the same time, in order to prevent the "Water Ape Great Sage" from regaining his freedom, there is another group of guys in the Three Realms who have been lurking to obstruct him at all costs.
The scope of the forces of both sides probably ranges from ordinary birds and beasts, ordinary people, to earthly immortals, immortals and even heavenly beings who come and go.
At the same time, the period of the game between the two parties may also be critical and subtle.
For example, the Ancestors and Emperors are engaged in a life-and-death struggle with "Da Luotian".
At the critical juncture of the war, those ancient powerful men had no time to take care of these "small fights".
Wei Hao did not have absolute evidence, but there was a lot of side confirmation.
Except for the "Da Chao Clan" who settled in the "Jishui Dragon God" across far away time and space, Wei Hao only saw one king of the ten kingdoms of the underworld, King Yama, and none of the other nine kings were there.
The underworld is another world opened up by Emperor Fengdu of the "Dating clan".
Coupled with the words of "Dragon King of Surabaya", "Dragon King of Tianhan" and "Great God of Beihai", they almost all confirm that the battle between the human race and the innate gods has reached an irreconcilable critical moment, and the time and space spanned are long and vast.
.
"If my guess is correct, then the change of dynasties in China's Great Xia Dynasty will become an extremely critical event."
If the chaos in China continues, the foundation of the human race will be shaken; if the human race's hegemony is suddenly interrupted, allowing wolves to rule and beasts to work together, then even worse situations will arise, and new races will rise on the remains of the human race.
Either way, there will be impacts and changes.
"After the Spring Festival, it should be able to explain a lot of things."
After Wei Hao calmed down, he stopped thinking about it and headed straight towards Dongting Lake.
Just as they were moving forward, they discovered strange changes. Far away from Yueyang Mansion, the number of monsters was obviously larger. In some places, there were even spirits directly showing up in the camps of the little military leaders to do things. Foxes acted as military advisors and jackals acted as scouts.
There was no sense of dissonance at all.
After approaching Yueyang Mansion, the situation became much better. The local garrison camps were still in good order and their momentum was not damaged. At the same time, the national destiny of Beiyang Mansion still existed, and the city and surrounding areas were all under protection.
Vaguely, there are still seven or eight rays of enterprising energy rising into the sky. Wei Hao does not know the art of looking at the energy, but his eyes have encountered strange encounters many times, which is of great use in this era of declining national fortunes.
The fiery eyes saw those subtle auras, and they were very familiar with them. They were the characteristics of "God-given light".
"It seems that Yueyang Mansion has also gathered many outstanding people."
The White Tiger's expectation is probably that after it leaves, the human world will have its own heroes to fight against the dangers.
Returning to his original position may be a helplessness for the "incarnation of the national destiny".
However, after approaching Yueyang Prefecture, Wei Hao discovered that the local trade had basically ended, and it relied entirely on the exchanges between prefectures and counties within Yueyang Prefecture to maintain the functioning of society.
Rather than saying it is Yueyang Mansion, it is better to talk about a small country called "Yueyang Mansion".
For the few transactions, Wei Hao could probably guess based on the market position that the person being traded might not be very kind.
Either a rebel army or a demon.
"I don't know how Tang Songchen is doing, or whether Chunwei will go to Beijing if he comes."
If you go out alone now, if you are not strong enough, you are seeking death.
Even if you have the strength, it will still be difficult if you don't have treasures to protect your body.
Thinking of this, Wei Hao couldn't help but think of Xu Wangque. As the general of the Long Xiang Army, the danger he faced now was probably much worse than that of the previous generals of the Great Xia Dynasty.
Sneaking into the night with the wind, controlling the "Guide Car", and escaping into the clouds and mist, the national barrier protecting Yueyang Mansion did not hinder him, and even the local "humanitarian formation" was still functioning slightly to protect Wei Hao.
Between heaven and earth, the words "sorrow and joy" are constantly changing, and the power contained in it is the aspirations of the people in this local Yueyang Mansion.
A strong wind swept by, and in front of the Yueyang Tower, before Wei Hao could step forward to say hello to the eight-pillar dragon, he noticed a subtle aura.
"What the hell?!"
Although the two words "sorrow and joy" are still changing, there is a tendency to merge them into one.
Even if one is in the sky and the other is on the ground, Wei Hao can tell the trend at a glance.
has a problem!
Coming quietly, without ever carefully observing the entire Yueyang Mansion, Wei Hao paused entering the seventh and a half floors of Yueyang Tower, and instead jumped up into the sky.
After overlooking the whole scene, his expression changed: "What is this? Formation?"
Around the city, there are a large number of altars. The altars are connected with each other and converge into one point. That point is also something similar to an altar.
In each altar, there are a large number of demon slayers, who are practicing cultivation in the world, and their methods are extremely weird, which is not simple at first glance.
"What is this going to do?"
Wei Hao was thoughtful, and after memorizing the altar formation, he arrived in front of Yueyang Tower and asked, "Is your highness here?"
"Ah?! Wei, Wei Gong?!"
The eight-pillar dragon quickly opened the door, and then said, "The Crown Princess is here, still in the painting, do you want a small pass?"
"No need, I'll just go there."
"yes."
Wei Hao stepped in, and the eight-pillar dragon quickly looked out for the wind, wondering why Duke Wei came to see the Crown Princess at this late hour?
A man and a woman alone, in the dead of night, could they be up to something...
After entering Yueyang Tower, Wei Hao noticed something strange again. The entire interior of Yueyang Tower was actually covered with runes, densely connected together like chains.
So Wei Hao withdrew again and asked the Eight Pillar Jiao: "Why are there so many runes in the pavilion?"
"Rune?"
As the guardian of Yueyang Tower, the eight-pillar dragon was very surprised: "Mr. Wei, the building is mostly filled with calligraphy of literati and poets. How can there be runes?"
"Well……"
Wei Hao stared at the eight-pillar dragon with his fiery eyes, and found that there was an extra seal in the sea of consciousness. However, this seal was very subtle, and he would not even notice it under normal circumstances, because this seal was a kind of normal seal.
Seal towards gain.
It can increase the magic power of the Eight-Pillared Dragon. Even if a normal person senses it, they will only think that this is the opportunity that the Eight-Pillared Dragon seeks.
"I'm going out for a walk, so don't make any noise."
"Yes, Duke Wei, don't worry, I will never reveal anything about Duke Wei."
The dragon lowered his head and when he raised it, Wei Hao was gone.
The next moment, Wei Hao stood in the middle of the waterway in the city between the east and west cities of Yueyang Prefecture, stepped on the water, and shouted: "The Dragon King of the Well in the City and the God of the Earth, all come to see me!"
The river was roaring and the waves were rolling, and in the small shrines next to many ancient trees in the city, streams of light sank into the earth, heading towards Wei Hao.
Late at night, the patrolling government officials just felt that the fog was really heavy tonight, and while complaining, the patrol speed also slowed down a lot.
Accompanied by the rustling sound, the frightened government officials gave up and hurried back to the government office to take a nap. Soon, sixty or seventy two-foot-long dragons, as well as twelve or thirteen short old men, all gathered in front of Wei Hao.
The Jing Dragon Kings have also appeared in human form. They are dressed decently, wearing cotton silk, flowers, scarves and sachets. They must be living a good life.
When I met Wei Hao, he looked like a local member and bowed to Wei Hao.
"See Wei Gong."
The Jing Dragon Kings were also worried. This "lord" was not a simple man. He could kill dragons and oxen without even frowning. Now the two islands in Dongting Lake are the remains of the mounts of the two immortals.
As long as Wei Hao doesn't die, this is an extremely terrifying deterrent.
"See your Majesty..."
The Earth God suddenly spoke, which startled all the Well Dragon Kings.
King?!
However, it was obvious that the twelve or thirteen earth gods did not give any explanation and just stood there, waiting for Wei Hao to ask questions.
There was a stone bridge above the canal. Wei Hao jumped up, sat on the bridge, and then asked the Jing Dragon Kings: "What is the origin of the altars inside and outside the city?"
"I'm reporting to Mr. Wei that this is the local altar for eliminating demon prisons. It is said to bless some kind of humane formation..."
"What's going on at Yueyang Tower lately?"
"It was certainly very lively. During the first lunar month of last year, local celebrities splashed a lot of ink on Yueyang Tower and wrote poems to commemorate that Yueyang Mansion would be able to maintain peace and prosperity in this year..."
After a brief report, Wei Hao had received very important information from the mouths of the Jing Dragon Kings.
First of all, those things like altars are the work of the demon slayer, so they must be related to the local demon slayers, and maybe the patrol supervisor is also involved.
Secondly, the Yueyang Tower was tampered with. Some people entered it on the pretext of reciting poems and composing poems, and arranged many runes to isolate the inside and outside.
Those runes, visible to the naked eye in mortal form, may be the finest calligraphy and painting, or perhaps the calligraphy of some celebrities.
But in essence, it is a rune that isolates one party, which is completely a seal.
This incident alone is enough to explain many problems.
Some people have the idea of "humane formation".
From the "Four Court Pillars of the Dragon Tomb", Wei Hao has understood that the "Humanity Formation" is the acquired merit formation, and it is a sharp weapon that can fight against innate supernatural powers.
It's normal for some people to have their own ideas.
But obviously not everyone can make up their mind about the "Humanitarian Formation". They have to be self-aware. Without strength, facing the backlash of the "Humanitarian Formation" is just self-destruction.
Therefore, based on these conditions, Wei Hao can conclude that this is not some weirdo in Yueyang Mansion who wants to play snake and swallow the elephant, at least it is the method of the upper class of the Daxia Dynasty.
"Well……"
After pondering for a while, Wei Hao turned to look at the twelve or thirteen earth gods who were respectful, "Are these words of the Jing Dragon King true?"
This question shocked the Jing Dragon Kings.
Because from Wei Hao's tone and behavior, he obviously believed in the Earth God more, and let the Jing Dragon Kings speak first, and then confirmed it through the Earth God.
"Start the show, Your Majesty."
There was an earth god holding a wooden staff, stepped forward and bowed and said, "Basically what I said is true."
"As for these altars, since you are from this hometown, do you know any more details?"
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, the construction of these altars, apart from the materials produced by the local people, the immortals who decorated them are all from other places. In terms of grade, they should all be above the local immortals."
"The Yueyang Mansion is guarded by the demon prisoner, known as 'Zhenren Yan'. He treats outsiders and immortals like slaves."
"For several months, we have treated each other with fine clothes and fine food, no matter whether we are government officials or demon exterminators."
The land god quickly described the situation in more detail.
After hearing this, Wei Hao suddenly felt strange: "Could it be that Yuan Hong wants to take away this 'humanity formation'?"
But taking it away directly is definitely not feasible. The local officials, scholars, and people have not lost their minds.
"Have any angels visited the court?"
Wei Hao asked again.
Several land gods thought for a while and said: "Although it is supposed to be here, we have never seen the little god in person. Maybe it would be easier to ask the Night God and the Day God."
Too.
So Wei Hao shouted: "Where is the Night God?"
"The little god is here."
The sixteen-armed Yin God in the sky immediately appeared, held down the Yin wind, and landed in front of him. Then he knelt down on one knee, cupped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, what are your orders?"
"Have there been any imperial envoys coming from this place in the past few months?"
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, there are three batches of imperial envoys here, including..."
When Ye Youshen reported the truth truthfully, the Jinglong Kings were so frightened that their faces turned pale. No matter how stupid they were, they still understood this situation. Wei Gong had definitely undergone a huge change.
Not to mention the land god, even the night wandering god calls himself the king, so he is respectful. What kind of identity is this?!
After Yeyou Shen made his report clear, Wei Hao suddenly said in a cold voice: "I wonder what the cover-up was, but it turned out that it was using the name of the Queen Mother. Bah, I really have a big appetite."
After sorting it out, Wei Hao asked again: "What is the background of the immortal who presides over the altar, and what magical powers and magic weapons he has, do you know?"
The Night God and the Earth God all looked confused, obviously they didn't know.
At this time, there was a Jing Dragon King who thought that this was a God-given opportunity. If he took a gamble, he might be successful!
So he immediately shouted: "Wei Gong! I know, I know..."
When Wei Hao heard this, he quickly said: "Speak quickly, something happened here, I will remember you!"
With Wei Hao's status in the "Dragon Tomb" and the underworld, no matter where the Jing Dragon King goes after his death, he will not suffer much.
The Jing Dragon King next to him had not come back to his senses. When his fellow township party members were there to respectfully explain, some of the Jing Dragon King realized later that it was not the right time to make meritorious deeds!
At this moment, several Jing Dragon Kings have already started to make plans. I think Wei Gong, who doesn't know where to become the king, must want to make a big fight here and make a fortune, isn't it right in front of them?!
