After the fairy disappeared

Chapter 1313: Repeated Pros and Cons
"It's a blessing, but it's also a curse." He Lingchuan thought for a while before saying, "You know my plan for Shanjin, right?"

"I know, you are interested in this tough bone." The mirror accompanies its owner every moment, witnessing his actions bit by bit. If there is anything in this world that can see He Lingchuan's every move, it must be the soul-capturing mirror, except for the way of heaven.

He Lingchuan's Yangshan plan was originally intended to advance on three fronts and lay out in secret.

The first thing is to expand the hometown associations, get to know and win over more knowledgeable people and young talents.

These people have seen the world and broadened their horizons. They are impressed by the wealth and strength of big countries and the poverty and weakness of shining gold. Naturally, they are deeply dissatisfied with the current situation here and have the motivation and desire for change.

Moreover, most of them are very young. Although they are not the highest rulers in the local area, they are either rich or noble, have power in their hands, and have ambitions in their hearts. This is the group of people with the most advanced consciousness in the Shining Gold Plain and the easiest to be united by He Lingchuan.

The Yangshan Chamber of Commerce is now entering the Golden Plains in a peaceful and friendly manner. They are not only not repulsive to He Lingchuan, but are very welcoming. So far, this line has been progressing smoothly.

Secondly, He Lingchuan transformed himself into the leader of the Black Armored Army, and led the Black Armored Army to meddle in other people's affairs, oh no, to punish evildoers, and used storytellers and other means to spread the deeds of the Black Armored Army everywhere, in order to win the recognition of another potential powerful force in the Shining Gold Plains.

This power is rarely valued and rarely tapped.

That's people.

Ordinary people in the Golden Plains.

The mirror has been with He Lingchuan for too long. Although he has never said it explicitly, it has realized that its master wants to collect more than just willpower.

The power of vows that only the Black Dragon God could collect in the past must be a good thing, but He Lingchuan's goal is far more than that.

He has more prospects and more expectations. Otherwise, with his calculating character, how could he not know that the efforts and risks of the Black Armor Army are not proportional to the benefits.

What he values ​​is the future.

What he expects is to gather people's hearts little by little.

Third, He Lingchuan must also seize the time to train his core elite.

The so-called "Yangshan Army" he personally formed had a mixed composition, including pirates, the Bailong tribe, and various good fighters who came to join him after hearing the news. Although they had undergone rigorous training, in terms of combat level, individual will, and group discipline, they were still far from the elite like the Dafeng Army.

A blacksmith must be strong himself. Perhaps the people of the Golden Plains will have high hopes for them in the future, but if Yang Shanjun’s level is not good enough and he cannot withstand the ravages of the storm, he will end up with nothing.

The above three-line arrangement is complicated to say, but it is actually on track, and is being carried out step by step and secretly under He Lingchuan's careful deployment. If it can be carried out smoothly to the end, He Lingchuan's progress bar of dominating the flash gold will be completed by 30%.

Of course, most of the time things in the world don’t go as planned.

Isn't this the unexpected?

"The appearance of the dragon head relief will cause us big trouble." He Lingchuan would scratch his head every time he thought about it, "I'm afraid our opponent will have to be replaced!"

"Uh, so serious?" Soul Mirror originally thought, isn't it just a few more reliefs on the wall, and it only lasts for three days. However, the only person who can make the owner so irritated is usually Bega, "Are you afraid of alarming Bega?"

"More than that." He Lingchuan said slowly, "Before the Jiaoshou Totem appeared, most of the people who investigated the Black Armor Army were local natives. The strongest ones were only from Yao Country and Luodian, and a small number of wild gods were affected. We can handle these opponents."

He had already prepared a countermeasure.

"But after the Jiaoshou Totem appeared..." He sighed, "Bejia has been secretly studying this totem. The first totem information I got was stolen by Fu Shanyue from his father's library. The Jiaoshou Totem has appeared in Yuan Kingdom and Panlong City before. Lingxu City must know this."

"Coincidentally, well, it can't be said to be a coincidence. Both of these places have left a deep impression on Beijia. Both of these places also happened to have large square pots."

The Dragon Head Totem, the City of Resistance and the Big Square Pot were once closely linked. Now the Dragon Head Totem has appeared again, which is likely to be the keyword that awakens Beijia's unpleasant memories. Will it have more associations?

"Once it hears about the Black Armor Army's deeds, our opponents may become more powerful." That's Bega. "The risk of future operations will increase tenfold. Oh, and there's also Lingshan."

"Lingshan is also very interested in the dragon head totem." In the Panlong world, Lingshan also sent someone to investigate this totem.

It was interested then, what about now?
"Oh yes, there are also Lingshan and Mouguo." Mirror always subconsciously ignores Lingshan, thinking that it and He Lingchuan are in the same boat.

"Since it's so dangerous, why don't we just stop doing it?" Mirror muttered, "At worst, we can go back to Yangshan!"

Go back and be a small island master...with a magic weapon, you don't have to fight with others, you can get some Emperor's Liquid to eat when you have nothing to do, isn't it a happy life just thinking about it?
"It may not be safe to retreat to Yangshan. If we are really targeted by Beijia, we will find it difficult to find a place to stay no matter where we are. Besides, as long as we are active in Shanjin, this day will come sooner or later." But this day came unexpectedly sooner than expected. "Besides, the Jiaoshou Totem has infinite uses. Its appearance is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Who wouldn't want it?"

Lingshan said that the dragon head totem represented the blessing of heaven, and wherever it appeared, there would be good weather and abundant crops; Zhong Shengguang explained that the dragon head totem could prevent nightmares and spiritual energy from being sucked away by external objects.

Maybe they are both right, one is about part of the superficial situation, and the other is about part of the internal cause.

However, it is still difficult to figure out where the dragon head totem will appear. After all, there are too few templates to refer to.

The mirror was also complaining: "Hey, it would be great if this dragon head totem came later!"

It knows that its master is not ready at all!
Yuan State started a rebellion in Beijia, and Lingxu gathered the whole country's strength to encircle and suppress it several times, but it took two years to win; Panlong City also faced Beijia head-on, and fought for more than 20 years in a situation surrounded by powerful enemies. Their strength and tenacity came from many reasons, and part of it must have come from the contribution of the Jiaoshou Totem.

For a hegemon or a king, a rich territory and abundant spiritual energy mean more food, more people, more troops, and stronger combat power! The Jiaoshou Totem moistens everything silently, but it works every moment.

This kind of place is what is usually referred to as "a place of great beauty and outstanding people", and He Lingchuan also coveted it very much.

But can he take even higher risks and withstand the gazes from Bega and Lingshan?
Even he himself didn't have the answer.

That’s why He Lingchuan said that whether it is a blessing or a disaster depends on how it is resolved.

Mirror thought for a moment and then said, "Why did this totem appear and disappear? You were clearly in Jucheng, why didn't it follow you?"

"Yang Shan doesn't have one either." As far as we can see now, only where the "Black Armored Leader" appears and fights will the dragon head totem appear briefly. In other words, what he did after putting on the Qianglong battle armor was in line with some truth?
Before this, Yuan Kingdom and Panlong City were both fighting on the front lines against the gods. They had elite soldiers and generals, and the military and civilians were united, so it was not surprising that the dragon head totem appeared.

On the other hand, He Lingchuan's army had not been tempered by blood and fire, and was neither firm nor efficient enough. He himself was still flirting with various wild gods and had unclear ties with Beijia. How could he still gain the favor of the Jiaoshou Totem?
Of course, it's not just because he was wearing the dragon armor.

"Is it because you punish evildoers?"

It seems reasonable that he was blessed by heaven for punishing evil and eliminating evil, but seeing that Fu Liushan was more diligent than him in this regard, why didn't he get the blessing of heaven?

Whether it is the Heavenly Dao, the Dafang Pot, or the Jiaoshou Totem, they are all people with whom it is impossible to communicate properly.

"Not entirely." He Lingchuan sighed, "And I've always wondered why the Heaven's blessing chose the Jiaolong Totem instead of other divine beasts? On the other hand, is the Jiaotou Totem really a blessing from Heaven? Could it not be a blessing from the Black Dragon God himself?"

The mirror was a little confused, and it said hello a few times: "The Black Dragon has passed away."

The next sentence was not uttered: You are wearing someone else’s skin on your body!

"The black dragon's cultivation is above that of an immortal, and it is the creature closest to the way of heaven. It makes sense that it can continue to influence the world in its own way."

"You mean, it's not dead in some way?" Mirror disagreed. "If the Dragon God's influence on this world has not disappeared, why did the descendants of the Dragon Clan turn to the God and establish Bega when they were desperate, instead of asking their ancestors for help?"

"No, I guess, the power of the Dragon God may continue to exist in some form." Just like the Panlong world in the Dafang Pot.

Panlong City had long been destroyed, and its heroic past was covered by the yellow sand; but the power of Panlong City, under the protection of the Dafang Pot, had not truly disappeared from the world.

It also found He Lingchuan and his successor.

Will the power of the black dragon also transform into a dragon head totem to find a successor who conforms to its will?

In other words, a candidate who meets the expectations of the Dragon God's legacy?
Mirror calmed down and brought the topic back to the current situation: "Have you thought about what to do next?"

The reality is cruel: no matter how difficult the dilemma is, He Lingchuan will eventually have to make a choice, and as soon as possible!
"There's no way to avoid disaster." He Lingchuan said seriously, "I've thought it through."

He has been adjusting his thinking over the past few days.

"The appearance of the Dragon Head Totem cannot escape the eyes and ears of the gods and Bejia. If they want to investigate, they can either use their influence in Flash Gold or send more people from Bejia."

He Lingchuan had long seen through that Bega only had an indirect influence on the Shining Gold Plain, and the biggest overlord in the area was still the Yao Kingdom.

Mirror suddenly remembered: "Oh, isn't Qingyang in Yao Country? Maybe she can investigate."
