Chapter 232
In the post station, the postmen all returned home early, leaving only those with high martial arts skills stationed there. Ordinary mobs, swordsmen and swordsmen can be killed as long as they practice hard.
With Qianniuwei's waist card, Wei Hao got a room to live in. At night, Wei Hao began to sort out the ins and outs of many things.
Regarding the "Dragon Tomb", Wei Hao has collected enough effective information, but it is hard to say what to do after entering the "Dragon Tomb".
There are cases of people being rescued from the "Dragon Tomb", but in most cases, it is the powerful dragon clan who breaks in and rescues his beloved relatives and friends.
No weak fishes out the weak, not one.
"Xiao Wang, I guess that the 'Dragon Tomb' should also be connected to the underworld, but some methods are needed to overcome the barrier."
"Maybe just like Yang Shi, when Shenzhou goes to other states, it also needs to cross the ocean."
"good."
Wei Hao nodded, and reconsidered the original relationship between humans and dragons. Talking about equality is out of the question. Nowadays, dragons generally seem to be stronger than humans. It is because of the "mortal body" of dragons. For humans, it may be "human body". Immortal" and "Ghost Immortal".
The base limit is different.
But judging from various classics and legends, the strong of the dragon clan should be allied with the strong of the human race, but their status is lower.
Emperor Yu is the latest generation of emperors, and the dragon god who helps him is Yinglong.
And the legend of Yinglong is much older than Emperor Yu.
Judging from the timeline, probably after the human ancestors began to create a relatively suitable living environment for human beings, the legends of dragons tended to diversify, and the descendants of the human ancestors continued to fight, there should be a big goal, and this goal may be in Daluotian .
The scope of the entire expedition's battlefield should be continuously narrowed until it is limited to Daluotian.
Perhaps this Great Luotian is more vast than the Six Desires and Six Heavens, but some kind of harm may be stripped away by the human ancestors in this way, and cannot penetrate from the Great Luotian.
Among them, the role played by the Dragon Race is most likely to be an ally of the Human Race.
Then it reflects the specific relationship in the human world, that is, the water kings who prosecute the four seas and various mountains and rivers are generally dragons.
The human race has thousands of people and faces, and although the dragon race is strong, it is generally the same.
Then there are dragon clans that benefit mankind, and there will also be evil dragons and evil dragons.
But overall, it must be positive.
"Perhaps, we can still ask if there are any comrades in the 'Dragon Tomb' in the underworld. If so, it would be good to know in advance."
There are quite a few people who can inquire, including Qin Wenruo and General Niu.
"A gentleman wants to leave the underworld?"
When Gouzi heard this, he immediately persuaded, "At least there is nothing wrong with the Dragon Tomb, but we have offended many people in the underworld, gentleman."
Going to the Dragon's Tomb doesn't necessarily require a big fight, but going to the Underworld definitely requires a fight.
"Going to the Dragon's Tomb this time may be very dangerous. When the time comes, Xiao Wang, you should stay and don't go."
"How can a gentleman act like this! If a gentleman shows his power in the dragon's tomb, how can I not be proud of it!"
"No, I can go alone."
Wei Hao shook his head, "In the world of the dead, there is no need for someone to accompany you on the road."
Gouzi stopped arguing, but just sighed: "I always feel that a gentleman will inevitably encounter calculations."
"There is no doubt that."
A "Ji Shui Dragon God" is enough to affect the Dragon Tomb.
But Wei Hao will still go, not daring this or that, so don’t do anything.
What's more, millions of creatures know why Bai Chen lost his dragon soul.
If those who devote their lives to the people are abandoned by the people, then this group will not last long.
The human race traverses through the ancient times, the strong are strong, the weak are weak, the strong are similar, but the weak are different.
Supporting each other, helping each other, and overcoming difficulties together... This is the survival wisdom of the weak.
Rather than a beastly predator of the jungle.
The law of the jungle is a reality and an instinct.
The biggest characteristic of the human race is that they can fight against their own instincts.
It's amazing.
"Zhaixing, Elephant Elephant is retracing the path of the ancestors! Let's not hold back!"
Yan Xuanxin looked like a barn swallow at the moment, squatting beside the pillow, and said loudly.
"When Ren Zu rose, he wasn't as bad as Jun Zi is now."
In ancient times, the battles, disasters, and population were not as large as they are now. Most human ancestors can be loved and respected as long as they solve a problem.
"Da Chao Clan" built a nest and started a family, "Da Ming Clan" drilled wood to make fire...
Every time a big problem is solved, it can greatly increase the survival rate of human beings and greatly increase the number of ethnic groups.
Now a state directly under the Great Xia Dynasty has a population of one million, and a state is an ancient country, or even a dynasty.
The scale of the war in the world is also constantly escalating and strengthening with the passage of time.
There is a gradual process for the rise and strength of the ancestors.
But Wei Hao did not.
Of course, Wei Hao is not without advantages. At least in this era, the population is larger, and there is no need to worry about beasts and poisonous insects in the downtown area.
The struggles and injuries within human beings are sometimes greater than natural disasters.
"Speaking of which, now I finally understand why most of the counties in the Great Xia Dynasty begin with the word 'five'. I thought it was to make use of Fengshui and the Five Elements. Now, based on the legends and classics of the human and dragon races, I can be sure it is not."
"Gentleman, this is going to hell, what are you talking about?"
"Knowing this is one of the reasons why I go to the Dragon Tomb. Don't forget, my God-given Liuguang Soul Suppressing Seal has the weight of two cities."
"What does it matter?"
Gouzi is also at a loss for allusions that he doesn't know.
"King Dayu named the counties in the world with the word 'five', in fact, he used the 'five' to supervise the world's 'Bailihou'. This five can be the 'five punishments', but it can also be the 'five religions'."
"Huh? A gentleman has made progress, and he actually knows the 'five punishments' and the 'five teachings'."
"..."
Gouzi looked relieved, while Wei Hao was quite speechless.
"I know the 'Five Religions', which are mother kindness, son filial piety, brothers respect, and father righteousness."
Yan Xuanxin's eyes lit up, "It's extremely extreme, it must be like this. If there were no 'Five Religions', the human race would not be so prosperous, spreading all over China and multiplying in all directions."
Even if the life of the human race in the eight states outside of China is relatively difficult, there is at least one thing that is better than the creatures of the eight states, that is, the creatures of the eight states are in China, and they basically do not even have the qualifications to be vassals.
Even offering sacrifices would not be used as a "sacrifice", and they are not qualified.
"The changes in the five elements are actually appearances, and practitioners think so. In fact, the seemingly changeable supernatural powers of the five elements are what Emperor Yu doesn't value. The 'five religions' hidden behind are the cornerstones of building human society."
After empathizing, and based on a comprehensive view of various information, Wei Hao felt that the Emperor would not be so boring, so he wanted to be a pigsty to raise pigs.
Human Ancestors and Emperors are not nurses. If everything depends on them, human beings will completely become their private property, not fellow ethnic groups.
For a hero to fight for his own clan, it has nothing to do with his clan itself, it is his personal will.
At the same time, no one in the group is qualified to require heroes to serve them.
After figuring it out, Wei Hao immediately figured out many puzzles.
When drinking with the third princess at the Lake God Temple before, he also wondered why Ren Zu didn't return directly from Daluotian, and then wiped out all the miscellaneous evil gods.
But now I understand that if everything depends on Ren Zu, mortals might as well wait in line one by one to die.
Just as he can draw his sword to help when he sees injustice, but if the other party has the ability to resist by himself, it is by no means a sin to turn a blind eye.
The original complicated thoughts and emotions calmed down in an instant, Wei Hao felt it in his heart, stretched out his five fingers, and the "martyr's arrogance" was condensed in the palm, and it turned from orange to white with white to blue.
Seeing this, Gouzi was overjoyed: "Gentleman! You have become stronger again!"
"It's a pity that I'm not as good as you, and I can still sum up the success method."
If this ability can be taught, I am afraid that there will be a lot of strong people.
"In the legend, Ren Zu preached the Tao before he ascended to the heavens. After so many years, he only taught the 'reason', not the Tao."
The dog smiled, and the dog's eyes were shining brightly, "A gentleman will follow the path of the ancestors again, and he will be invincible in the three realms in the future!"
"Hahahaha... that's natural!"
Wei Hao laughed, raised his hand and rubbed the dog's head wildly, and then asked, "Can the loach spirit be traced?"
"Although it is hidden deep, it is useless. Not only do I know it is coming, but I also know that it is covering up the breath of the party. The slime seems to have some tricks, but I am not what I used to be. I have already smelled several evil spirits. Hidden in it. It has the breath of the demon army."
"Huh..."
That is the little water monkey "Third Witch Prince".
"Speaking of which, after Wu San left Wuchao County, there was no news. Could it be that he was willing to disappear completely? I guessed that this water monkey couldn't bear the loneliness and would definitely do something. I never thought that it was actually eyeing it." The Three Princesses of Whale Sea'."
"Gentleman, does the water monkey really dare to make a fuss about the princess of the Dragon Clan?"
"Why not? As long as there is a way to flatten the evidence, why dare not? What's more..." Wei Hao's eyes were cold, "Don't forget who set up a net here at the beginning, saying they wanted to arrest Wu San."
At that time Xu Yisun led the crowd to catch the monkey, and a net was set up, but unfortunately, the monkey was not at home.
Whoever reads it is bad luck.
But now that two "Wuchao County Defense Battles" have been fought, and the hidden relationship between Yuan Hong and Dashui Monkey has been exposed, Wei Hao believes that besides himself, many famous officials in the officialdom should also know it well.
Without evidence, it's inconvenient to mess with Xu Yisun, but if you want state officials to trust him again, you're either stupid or bad, or both stupid and bad.
"That stinking Taoist ran fast, knowing that a gentleman would not talk nonsense to him."
"It is no longer possible for Xu Yisun to have both sides in the open, and there will be no more feudal officials who sell his face. As for the mutual use, we can't say much, but the current situation of Xu Yisun, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is human rape .That is to say, it hasn’t reached the point where everyone is shouting and beating, after all, we don’t have solid evidence.”
After Wei Hao finished speaking, he sneered, "But do we need strong evidence for this matter? How long can he hide after so many people have died? But this person is not an ordinary person, and he has always been pampered, and his mana cultivation is also amazing. As long as If you still want to live forever, you will definitely use any means."
Speaking of this, Wei Hao pointed his finger: "He is familiar with the Beiyang Mansion. If he cooperates with the Demon King or even the Demon Emperor to plot against the idiot 'Three Princess Jinghai', it is not an exaggeration to say that he should cooperate with the outside. Even if the third princess has some magic weapon to protect her, once she is found out and targeted, her fate will not be much different from that of the second princess in Yueyang Tower."
"Then... gentleman, what are we going to do?"
Gouzi found out that Wei Hao already had a rough idea, so he was determined and asked directly.
Little Yanzi looked confused, she didn't understand the relationship, she looked at Wei Hao puzzled: "Grand Elephant, why don't you go directly to Xu Yisun?
"Because even if Xu Yisun is the one who conspired, he may not be the one who actually strikes. It is easy for the evil side to know who is going to strike, but the human side, especially the interior of the Great Xia Dynasty, cannot be controlled by Xu Yisun. He can at most It's a matchmaking broker."
"Ah? He is Yuan Hong's disciple, why can't it be him?"
"Because you want to designate a dragon girl from the East China Sea as the lake god, besides the court ministers, what is a monster extermination person, who is qualified to speak to the court?"
"Ah, that's right, that's true."
Now Yan Xuanxin also understood that the "Three Princesses of Jinghai" are the princesses of the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea, and now they are not only the princesses of the Dragon Clan, but also the "Sacred Mother of Qinglian", the water lord of Qinglian Lake.
However, there are strict official procedures for conferring gods. After completing this procedure, Xu Yisun can help to promote and even clear the way, but whether it is the imperial decree, Honglu Temple or Yousi, it is not a person outside the officialdom You can touch your fingers left and right.
Therefore, whoever contributed to this matter is the direct black hand who plots against the Dragon Girl of the East China Sea.
