Ragnarok is born

With their skills, they reached the top of Huqiu Mountain in a short time.

When they reached the top of the mountain, they immediately saw Yu Ji with his back to everyone, whose majestic body seemed to be taller than the Huqiu Mountain under their feet.

But Zhang Bao was surprised to find that this peerless master who was as famous as his master and one of the "Three Great Immortals in the World" had an aura fluctuating faintly, which did not match his "immortal level" realm. .

He suddenly remembered Yu Ji's fight with Zuo Ci in the Xuchang Palace, and thought to himself, could it be that Yu Ji had suffered a lot in that battle and hadn't fully recovered yet?

But I feel that the truth of the matter may not be the case.

When he was studying under Nanhua, Zhang Bao also heard Nanhua comment on the masters in the world, saying that the so-called "Three Sanxians" are all in the same strength as Zhong Bo, and it is difficult to distinguish between them. It can be seen that the strangeness of Yuji is not It was the reason for the injury in Zuo Ci's hands.

Yu Ji didn't seem to know that everyone was coming, and still didn't look back.

Even after waiting for Zhang Bao and others to report their names one by one, they still seemed to lack interest, and had no intention of turning around to check on them.

Gong Chong showed embarrassment to everyone.

But Yu Ji, as one of the "Three Great Sanxians in the World", has such a lofty status, even if he intends to manipulate it, Zhang Bao and others dare not have any opinions.

Just when I was getting impatient, I finally heard Yu Ji say quietly, "Nanhua has put in the last sliver of vitality, let me tell Zhang Bao."

"Tell him to return to Zhongnan immediately after hearing the news."

Volume 57 Dynasty Warriors Chapter [-]: Zhang Lu

Zhang Bao shrank his eyes.

As soon as they met, Zhang Bao was shocked when he got the news of Master Nan Hua from Yu Ji.

As far as Zhang Bao is concerned, although he is not a strong person in the realm of "immortal level", he has not even reached the realm of "unity of mixed yuan", he can only be regarded as barely touching the threshold of the realm of "unity of mixed yuan".

But as one of Nan Hua's disciples, he knows many secrets that are not known to the public.

For example, peerless powerhouses in the realm of "immortal level" have methods that are unimaginable for others to connect and communicate with each other.

Nan Hua once told the three Zhang Jiao brothers that it was because of a technique used by the "immortal-level" powerhouses on the primordial spirit.

As a strong person who has reached the "immortal level", being able to use his own soul not only allows the soul to hide for thousands of miles, but also develops many strange magical effects.

Especially between Yu Ji and Zuo Ci, the "Three Great Immortals in the World", Nan Hua, because they sat and discussed the Dao and communicated with each other back then, they knew a lot of each other's miraculous skills and secrets, and had a convenience that others could not match in terms of communication.

So it was clear that they had just met, but Yu Jimeng accidentally told him that Nanhua asked him to bring the news, demanding that Zhang Bao return to Zhongnan immediately.

There is no hesitation in my heart.

In order to improve his cultivation level, Nanhua's three brothers, Zhang Jiao and Zhang Jiao, launched the Yellow Turban riots that swept the whole world, and they suffered a backlash.

From now on, people in the world know very little about how he reluctantly hid in Zhongnan Mountain and lingered on his last breath.

But this certainly does not include Taiping Taoist Yu Ji.

In fact, the relationship between Yu Ji and Nan Hua is far closer than people in the world imagined.

As disciples of Nanhua, Zhang Jiao and the three brothers established a powerful "Taiping Dao" based on the "Taiping Qingling Book" as the guideline?

It should be noted that long before the three Zhang Jiao brothers established the "Taiping Dao", Gong Chong, Yu Ji's eldest brother, had brought the "Taiping Qingling Book" and presented it to Emperor Xiaoshun, but it was a pity that it was finally impeached by Yousi Even Gong Chong was imprisoned by the court for being so delusional.

When the three Zhang Jiao brothers traveled to the Central Plains and established the "Taiping Dao", outsiders even thought that the three of them were all disciples of Yu Ji.

Zhang Jiao directly denied it himself, and all the talents in the world suddenly realized that it turned out that the great virtuous teacher was actually a student of Nan Hua, who was as famous as Yu Ji.

Therefore, not only ordinary practitioners, but also various schools of Taoism secretly had countless different speculations about the relationship between Ji and Nanhua.

Zhang Bao thought to himself why the master suddenly gave such an order, but at the same time he saluted Ji, "Dare to ask my uncle, the master wants me not to stay in Jiangdong for a while after hearing the news, but to leave immediately?"

"Or can we wait until Jiangdong's matter is over, so that it's not too late to leave?"

Yu Ji chuckled, and finally turned around to face the crowd.

In the eyes of everyone, although Yu Ji's face showed a rather obvious sense of fatigue, his eyes were shining brightly, and his face was covered with a faint layer of fluorescence, which was clearly a vision after he had reached the ultimate level of cultivation.

Even Zhang Bao, after meeting Yu Ji's gaze, couldn't help being shocked, and couldn't help lowering his head, not daring to look closely.

Yu Ji sighed slightly, and said in a sighing tone, "Brother Nanhua wants you to leave immediately, no matter what happens in Jiangdong."

"Nephew, if you travel faster, you may still be able to see Daoist Brother Nanhua; if you encounter delays on the way, you may only see Daoist Brother Nanhua's widow when you arrive at Zhongnan." shed."

Zhang Bao was stunned when he heard the words, and said in disbelief, "What's going on?"

You know, when he came down from Zhongnan Mountain, although Nanhua looked like he was dying, his life was not long, but it was all because of the backlash that Nanhua suffered, which was too serious, so he behaved like this.

However, in fact, due to various reasons, coupled with his proficiency in secret techniques, Nanhua's situation is much better than it appears on the surface.

That's why Zhang Bao didn't have any worries in his heart, and went down the mountain directly with the envoy sent by "Shi Daoren".

Who would have thought that at this moment, Yu Ji would suddenly hear such bad news?

Many Taoist priests who came with Zhang Bao were no less shocked than Zhang Bao when they suddenly heard Yu Ji mentioning Nanhua.

A Taoist with a slightly fat body was surprised, "What, the old fairy Nanhua is still alive? Didn't there be news that the old man was hunted down by the court and disappeared?"

The thin and tall Taoist priest on the other side immediately retorted, "But didn't Yu Ji Sanxian just say that the old fairy Nanhua is going to die soon, and if Daoist Zhang is a little later, maybe he won't even be able to see him for the last time?"

Some people looked at Zhang Bao if they were thinking about it, and hesitantly tried to persuade them, "Since it is an order from the old fairy, Brother Dao must obey it."

"We have already arrived in Jiangdong, so naturally we are accompanied by the disciples of Immortal Yu Ji San, so Daoist brothers naturally don't need to worry about us..."

Hearing the discussions around him, Zhang Bao's face suddenly sank, and he looked at Yu Ji inexplicably and asked, "Dare to ask my uncle, when the disciple went down the mountain, the spirit of the old man, Master, seemed to be in good spirits. Why did there be such a shocking change?" ?”

Showing grief, Yu Jimu shook his head and said, "Brother Nanhua suffered a backlash from the calamity of Tianzun, and he is already in a state of exhaustion."

"In order to be able to start a dialogue with me in the void, I exhausted the last remaining power of the primordial spirit."

"For cultivators in the immortal realm, the primordial spirit is the foundation of everything. Once the primordial spirit does not exist, everything will cease."

He glanced at the people in front of him, and sighed slightly in his heart.

There are so many cultivators in the world, like crucian carp crossing the river, there are countless, but only a handful of those who can cultivate to the state of "Hunyuan Ruyi".

Not to mention "immortal level" powerhouses.

In Ji's life of more than a hundred years, he has only seen a few people.

And among the people standing in front of him at this moment, whether it is Nanhua's only remaining disciple Zhang Bao, his own disciple Gong Chong, or any other person, it is impossible to reach the "immortal level" state.

Once he and Nanhua die, maybe even "Taiping Dao", the school that has a common connection with the two of them, will really disappear.

**** **** ****

Hanzhong County.

A meaningful smile appeared on Zhang Lu's face, and he looked down at a strange jade seal that was slowly turning in his hand.

It has been nearly 142 years since Zhang Lu's grandfather, Zhang Daoling, entered Shu in the first year of Han'an (60) and established the "Five Dou Rice Road".

Zhang Lu's father, Zhang Heng, traveled to the Central Plains in the past and had exchanges with Zhang Jiao's three brothers. Later, he returned to Shuzhong and inherited his father's position as the leader of "Five Dou Rice Road".

When Zhang Heng died, Zhang Lu was still young, and the position of leader fell to Zhang Xiu, Zhang Heng's disciple.

Later, Zhang Xiu responded to the Taipingdao uprising, was suppressed and subdued by Yizhou Mu Liu Yan, and became Liu Yan's other Sima.

Liu Yan used Zhang Xiu and the disciples of Wu Dou Mi Dao as sharp knives in his hands to check and balance the gentry in Shu, and suppressed the resistance of Ren Qi, Jia Long and others.

When Zhang Lu became an adult, after attacking Hanzhong County and killing Su Gu, the prefect of Hanzhong, Zhang Lu used the prestige of his grandfather Zhang Daoling and his father Zhang Heng to contact many disciples who refused to accept Zhang Xiu in the Five Dou Rice Road, and attacked and killed Zhang Xiu.

Finally regained control of Wu Dou Mi Dao.

After Zhang Lu killed Zhang Xiu, he strengthened his control over Hanzhong County and managed local government affairs with five buckets of rice sacrifices.

Teach the people to be honest and not to cheat, and make the patients confess their mistakes; forgive the offender three times, and only then punish if he dares to commit the crime again;

According to the "Moon Order", in spring and summer, when all things grow, slaughtering and drinking are prohibited.

He also established a charity house, put righteous rice and meat in it, and provided free food for passers-by, and declared that if you get too much, you will offend ghosts and gods and get sick.

With such a loose policy, not only did Hanzhong wait until it was pacified, but even refugees from other counties fled to Hanzhong one after another.

As soon as the number of refugees flooded into Hanzhong County was large and varied, some people presented an ancient jade seal to Zhang Lu as a step of promotion.

Below this jade seal, engraved with the four big characters of "Heavenly Dao General", it seems to have a great relationship with Taoism.

The person who presented the jade seal of "General of the Heavenly Way" was a forty-year-old middle-aged man with a weathered face. His eyes were wild, and he was thinking about what kind of reward he could get?

Yan Pu came from outside.

Yan Pu was a native of Anhan, Basil, Yizhou (now Nanchong City, Sichuan Province). After Zhang Lu attacked and killed Zhang Xiu, his whole family defected to Zhang Lu. strategist.

The Yan family is a noble family in Hanzhong, and his refuge played a very positive role in Zhang Lu's governance of Hanzhong.

Therefore, Zhang Lu respects Yan Pu very much.

Zhang Lu raised the jade seal in his hand, handed it to Yan Pu, and asked, "Does Gongcao know the origin of this jade seal?"

Yan Pu glanced casually, and when he saw the words "Heavenly Dao General" on the jade seal, he couldn't help but his expression changed. He glared at the middle-aged man who presented the jade seal, and scolded, "My lord, please order to kill these people with malicious intentions!" Bad gangsters..."

Zhang Lu was stunned, puzzled, "What's the meaning of this?"

Yan Pu's eyes were cold, and he explained, "Master Ming knows that this Heavenly Dao General's jade seal was used by Luan Da, an alchemist in the period of Emperor Xiaowu of the previous dynasty?"

"Alchemist Luan Da?" Zhang Lu stretched out his hand to caress his chin, and asked curiously, "My way of five buckets of rice has a lot to do with Fang Shidao."

"If what Gongcao said is true, isn't it destined that I won't get this jade seal?"

"In this way, the person who presented the jade seal is not only innocent, but also meritorious? Why does the meritorious Cao want me to kill this person?"

There is a sentence that Zhang Lu didn't say out of his mouth, if he kills the person who presented the jade seal for no reason, then how can other people think of himself when they find the treasure in the future?

Giving treasures is dangerous, but flattery must be cautious?

Yan Pu shook his head, stomped his feet bitterly and said, "Duke Ming, that Luan Da was cut to death by Emperor Xiaowu's order in the end."

"How can Duke Ming keep such an ominous thing by his side?"

Volume 58 Dynasty Warriors Chapter [-]: Despair

The "Luan Da" that Yan Pu blurted out was a well-known and well-known alchemist during the period of Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was a god, so when he was in power, many famous warlocks emerged one after another and devoted themselves to the palace.

It is said that Luan Da and the "General Wencheng" who was killed by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty came from the same family. After the young man was killed by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he entered the palace through the introduction and recommendation of Lecheng Hou Dingyi, and he jumped up from then on.

He was tall and handsome, and more importantly, he was extremely eloquent. He had many skills in speech, and a series of self-proclaimed big words could convince Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, so he was extremely fond of Luan Da.

Successively named Luan Da General of Wuli, General of Tianshi, General of Dishi, General of Datong, General of Tiandao, and finally he was even named Marquis of Letong.

But the most unbelievable thing was not that Luan Da wore the six seals, but that he married the widowed Princess Wei.

But if you walk too much at night, you will eventually encounter ghosts. After a period of time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty discovered that Luan Da was not at all as he boasted.

The so-called "alchemy" he performed to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty were actually just some tricks that seemed a little subtle.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty felt that he had been fooled by Luan Da and had delayed the eldest princess because of this, so he beheaded Luan Da in anger.

After Luan Da's death, all the rewards he had received were taken back by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

But according to the rumors, Luan Da was finally buried in Dangli, the Shicheng of Princess Wei, and there were countless funerary objects given by Princess Wei in his tomb.

And the famous Six Seals are said to be in this tomb.

It's just that with the passage of time, and at some point, the tomb robber broke into the tomb and obtained the things buried with him.

The "Heavenly General" jade seal presented to Zhang Lu by the middle-aged man was Luan Da's status symbol back then, and it was also a funeral object.

Luan Da's final fate was extremely tragic, he was chopped to death, so Yan Pu felt that this "Heavenly General Seal" was an ominous thing.

Zhang Lu's expression froze.

The jade seal in my hand that I felt very warm before is now like a hot potato. I don't know if I should continue to play with it, or just ignore it?

The middle-aged man who offered the jade seal felt even more terrified when he heard what Yan Pu said, and shouted loudly, "Ming Gong, I didn't mean any evil intentions."

"It's just that I don't know at all that there is such a story about this Heavenly Dao General Yuyin. I hope Minggong will forgive me!"

Zhang Lu gave the middle-aged man a hard look.

Before Yan Pu's arrival, under the persuasion of the middle-aged man, Zhang Lu even once thought that he was really destined to be born, and that's why he got the jade seal of "Heavenly General", which is clearly an auspicious weather and auspicious omen.

Taking advantage of Zhang Lu's happy mood, the middle-aged man smacked his beard and urged Zhang Lu to call himself "King of Han Ning" and take the position of prince.

But at this time, after hearing Yan Pu tell the origin of the "General of the Heavenly Way" jade seal, it was like being poured from head to toe by a basin of ice water, and his whole body was chilled.

How dare you have any other ideas?

He suppressed his emotions, showing a trace of melancholy, pointed to the middle-aged man and said, "Forget it, you go down with me and receive a reward."
