2000 Years of Eternal Life

Chapter 54 Water God, third place on the earth list

Xie Chen flicked his wrist, bared his teeth and said: "Hiss, did your sword just now really come out of a marrow refining state? It's too outrageous."

Du Heng was speechless when he heard the words, he couldn't say that he was a strong person.

Afterwards, Xie Chen said seriously again: "I came to you this time with really important news, one of my uncles noticed a change in the barbarians in northern Xinjiang.

"After some investigation, it is basically determined that the Golden Tent of the Eagle King should have secretly unified the grassland and the desert. I am afraid that he will soon plan to go south and invade the Central Plains."

Generally speaking, as long as the barbarians in northern Xinjiang are unified and integrated into one force, the next thing to do is to invade the Central Plains, or even plot to dominate the Central Plains.

This has been the case since ancient times.

In the 900 years of the Great Zhou Dynasty, 500 years were spent fighting against the barbarians in northern Xinjiang.

Although the Dayu Dynasty before that was only short-lived for 70 years, Dayu existed as the State of Yu for thousands of years before the unification of the nineteen prefectures.

These millennia have basically been spent fighting against the barbarians in northern Xinjiang.

In fact, in the chaotic Warring States period, as long as the vassal states and barbarians adjacent to the northern border had a very long history of war.

As for the earlier Daxi and Daxia dynasties, the same is true. In the handed down classics, there are also records of many attacks on the barbarians in northern Xinjiang during these two periods.

Even the "Ganlu", which is generally believed to be mostly gossip about gods and ghosts, has related records.

It's just that the records in "Ganlu" are more mythological, saying that these northern Xinjiang barbarians are descendants of ancient gods and demons, and their bloodlines contain incredible power.

If the barbarians from the northern border are allowed to take control of the Central Plains, the blood of gods and demons in their bodies will revive over time, and then the whole world will undergo tremendous changes.

Of course, in the past thousands of years, many powerful people have conducted thorough investigations on the barbarians, but they have not found the so-called blood of gods and demons.

This is also one of the important evidences that "Ganlu" is regarded as gossip by gods and ghosts.

After Du Heng heard Xie Chen's news, he was a little puzzled at first, then his expression became serious again, and he asked, "You mean, the Eagle King Golden Tent is very likely to choose Shanyin County as a breakthrough point?"

If it was just the barbarians from northern Xinjiang who were about to invade, there was no need for Taiyin Cult to notify Chunyang Temple in such a hurry, unless the matter itself was related to Chunyang Temple.

Shanyin County is located on the northern border of Yongzhou. It used to be one of the important gateways to resist the barbarians in the northern Xinjiang.

Later, the founder of Chunyang Temple opened up Chunyang Temple on Jinxia Mountain in Shanyin County. Since then, there have been a group of top powerhouses sitting here, which made the barbarians dare not go south from Shanyin County for nearly 2000 years.

But as long as the strength of Chunyang Temple is weakened, some barbarian tribes will still take risks and choose to go to Shanyin County to plunder.

Even though they are killed by Chunyang Temple almost every time, some barbarians will always come over every once in a while.

This seems to have become a way to show their strength and courage in northern Xinjiang.

"Well." Xie Chen nodded and said, "According to my uncle, although the Eagle King Golden Tent has unified the grassland, its status is not stable, so a symbolic event is needed to strengthen its authority. And the biggest effect at this time is war."

"Taking Shanyin County and looting, right?" Du Heng said in a deep voice.

"That's right." Xie Chen turned his head and looked to the northwest, with a serious expression, "For the Eagle King Golden Tent, breaking through Shanyin County and looting is the easiest way to concentrate authority.

"First of all, Shanyin County has an ancient and special significance to the grassland barbarians. If we can break through Shanyin County, it means that neither the imperial court nor the martial arts sect in the Central Plains can stop them, and it will greatly strengthen their morale.

"In order to achieve this goal, after the Eagle King's Golden Tent breaks through Shanyin County, I'm afraid they will loot wantonly, and most likely they will continue to point their finger at Chunyang Temple, and may even attack Jinxia Mountain. You must prepare early."

"I see." Du Heng nodded lightly, cupped his hands and said, "I'll be returning to Jinxia Mountain right now, thank you very much."

"Chunyang and Taiyin are in the same breath, so there is no need to thank you." Xie Chen waved his hand and said with a smile, "It was Master Qinghe who secretly informed us of the news that saved the lives of the two true gangsters of our Taiyin sect. "

Having said that, he moved his wrist again, and said with a smile, "However, if I tell you the news this time, it may cause you some trouble. After all, you defeated me in full view. No. 36 on the list."

"Ah?" Du Heng didn't react for a while.

"The ranking of the people's list is based on the record." Xie Chen explained with a smile, "If the record this time will be counted, you will be No. 30 in the new list. to challenge you."

"So that's what it means." Du Heng laughed, "Then I just don't dare to challenge the people I beat."

"Hahaha!" Xie Chen laughed loudly, "Then you may have to dominate the top ranking for a few years. Don't underestimate people's dedication to high rankings."

"Brother Xie is not persistent?" Du Heng asked with a smile.

"Next time, I will beat you!" Xie Chen squeezed his wrist again, and said with a smile, "This time I was just careless!"

……

Due to the news brought by Xie Chen, Du Heng did not go to Sanyuan County to find Jiang Huaixi as originally planned.

Instead, he went straight back to Jinxia Mountain.

But when he told his master the news, he found that the Chunyang Temple had noticed the movement of the Eagle King's Golden Tent, which was even more detailed than the information investigated by the Taiyin Sect.

They even found out when the Eagle King Golden Account was most prepared to go south.

"Don't forget your master and my identity back then." Lin Qinghe patted Du Heng's shoulder lightly, and said with a smile, "As a member of the hidden sect, hiding identity investigation information is a master's forte."

"Awesome!" Du Heng couldn't help sighing, but still said with some concern, "Master, I heard that the Eagle King in Northern Xinjiang is a strong man at the level of Shenmen."

"Forget what your master said back then?" Lin Qinghe chuckled, "Even Tian Xing can't win the current Chunyang Temple, let alone the Eagle King of Northern Xinjiang.

"Besides, the plan for Eagle King's Golden Tent to go south is scheduled for April next year, and we still have half a year to make preparations. You just need to take care of the direction and travel the rivers and lakes with peace of mind."

Speaking of this, he looked at Du Heng with admiration and said, "Xu Jing, you are really a genius, you have only been down the mountain for a few months, and you have stepped into the marrow refinement state, next time you come back, I am afraid you will It's the entrance."

"Hey." Du Heng pretended to be embarrassed and said, "It's a fluke, a fluke."

"To say it was a fluke is to be modest, and that's not acceptable." Lin Qinghe said with a smile, "At your age, you should be high-spirited and flamboyant, this is a boy.

"In the past, your master wanted you to keep a low profile because he was afraid that you would die prematurely if you were too sharp. Now that you have traveled down the mountain and entered the realm very quickly, there is no need to hide any more.

"Besides, you will soon make a name for yourself in the world, and you can't hide it even if you want to."

"As the master said, the disciples have some different opinions." Du Heng said with a smile, "There are ten points in everything, reveal eight points, and say seven points, it is always right."

"You, you." Lin Qinghe shook his head and scolded with a smile, "Be cautious like an old Jianghu, but that's fine too, the smoothest way to walk is the one that suits you.

"Go, here at Chunyang Guan, you don't have to worry, I, your uncle, uncle, and ancestor have already figured out a solution, and there will definitely be no problems."

"Then...the disciple will go down the mountain first?" Du Heng said.

"Go, go." Lin Qinghe waved his hand.

……

On the top of Jinxia, ​​in front of Ziqi Palace.

Xie Cang stood on the edge of the cliff, looked through the sea of ​​clouds in front of him, looked at Du Heng who was walking on the mountain road below, and nodded with satisfaction: "Good boy."

Lin Qinghe stood behind him, nodded and said: "Yes, Xu Jing is a good boy, how can I, He De, have such a disciple, even if it is for him, we must guard this Pure Yang View. "

"Yeah." Xie Cang nodded, and said in a deep voice, "Eagle King is not a long-standing god, and his strength is limited. As a teacher, he is equivalent to a god on Jinxia Mountain. There is no problem blocking him. As long as... It’s good that he doesn’t get in the way.”

"Master, you mean Tian Xing?" Lin Qinghe frowned when he heard the words, "Even if he regards our Chunyang as a thorn in his side, he shouldn't make a fuss about this kind of thing, after all, he is still the crown prince of this country. Fu."

"Don't be too optimistic." Xie Cang shook his head lightly and said, "Be fully prepared."

For Tian Xing, if he wanted to cheat Chunyang Temple on this matter, it would be nothing more than sacrificing a person from Shanyin County.

It is tragic that hundreds of thousands of people were looted, but Tian Xing is a person who can directly hit the county with meteorites when fighting people, without any scruples about the people in it.

Do you really care about these people in Shanyin County?
Probably not.

……

Du Heng walked on the road in Shanyin County, feeling the prosperity here.

I can't bear to imagine what it would be like if the prairie barbarians broke through here and carried out killing and looting recklessly.

"Although the master said it firmly, I am still a little uneasy." Du Heng thought to himself, "What if the Eagle King Golden Tent has a hole card that we don't know about, and what if Tian Xing is a hindrance?"

Shanyin County and Chunyang Temple are definitely not as stable as Lin Qinghe said.

He thought so.

"Fortunately, I still have time." Du Heng felt the energy of the five elements in his body, and secretly said, "Now I just built the water temple, and even without the water god, I already have the strength of a half-step god.

"If I build another temple, or give birth to the water god, I should be able to truly have the strength of the gods, and I can make a move at that time, and the war is also the time when the emotions are the most intense.

"If I can participate in it and directly destroy the Golden Tent of the Eagle King, I can definitely collect a lot of emotions of the Five Elements, and may even successfully breed one or two Gods of the Five Elements.

"This is a multi-purpose thing, so the most important thing for me is to build an earth temple as soon as possible, or give birth to the water god.

"It just so happens that Sanyuan County is a shortcut to the desert in northern Xinjiang. After giving Jiang Huaixi the fish entrusted to me by Sister Cheng, I will go directly to the desert to try to capture all the sights of the earth and build the earth temple!"

……

Sanyuan County is one of the largest and most prosperous counties in Qingzhou.

In particular, the county city is known as the collection of the great food in the north. Every year, many children of the Zongmen family who love food come here to travel.

At the beginning, Jiang Huaixi bought a big house in the center of Sanyuan County because he was attracted by the rich food here.

When Du Heng heard Cheng Yujun talk about this, he could only deeply feel Jiang Huaixi, a little girl who lamented her inhumanity and bought a house just to stay here and eat delicious food.

It's outrageous.

Also really rich.

After all, Sanyuan County is the most prosperous county in Qingzhou, and it is also a county with strong external attraction, so the house price is not cheap.

After Du Heng walked into Sanyuan County, he deeply felt the prosperity.

It was still early in the morning when he came here, but the main street in the city was already crowded with morning market stalls, and there were many vendors shouting from street to street.

Just standing on this main street and looking forward, you can clearly feel the bustling atmosphere of Sanyuan County.

If you look to the side, you can see restaurants, teahouses, theaters, etc., and there are all kinds of entertainment places.

On the river in the city in the distance, there are even painted boats drifting slowly, and occasionally bursts of laughter and singing can be heard. This is the excitement of last night that has not been exhausted this morning.

"It's really prosperous." Du Heng couldn't help admiring.

Originally, he thought that Guan County on the coast was already prosperous enough, but he didn't expect that Sanyuan County was so prosperous, it was really full of flowers.

"Everyone, go to Tianyuan Building, the latest issue of the Heaven, Earth and People list has been delivered, go and have a look!"

At this moment, Du Heng suddenly heard shouts not far away.

As soon as the sound came, it immediately attracted the surrounding crowd to move, shouting and shouting, rushing towards the east of the city like a river.

"It's already the third day of November, and it's really time to arrive." Du Heng counted the time and became interested, so he followed the crowd to the so-called Tianyuan Building.

I don't know if I have really made it to the list of people as Xie Chen said?

When Du Heng came to Tianyuan Building, there was already a large group of people on the third floor and the third floor outside. People standing outside couldn't see what was written on the list inside.

Although some people sang the rankings like declaring the names of the dishes, but so many people were so noisy that they couldn't hear clearly.

Fortunately, Du Heng's eyesight and hearing are excellent, even if he stands on the outermost side, he can still see and hear.

However, as soon as he arrived here, he heard exclamations from the innermost part of the crowd: "Look, everyone! The third place on the list, the third place on the list, someone actually went directly to the third place on the list!

"Water God! Mysterious origin, suspected to be the descendant of the ancient Black Emperor, defeated the half-step god-level incarnation of the current Taifu!!"
