My God, I am the emperor, the lord of mankind.

Chapter 454 Seeking Revenge

"This is a gift my grandfather received from a Taoist priest when he was working as a sailor for a wealthy Ming Dynasty at sea..."

Speaking of this, Gao Chuan really looked at the sailors behind Zhu Houcong who were wearing various Taoist robes, and some were even wearing folk sacrificial robes from the East China Sea, with a flash of confusion in his eyes.

"It was worn out after many wars. Later in Kyoto, I met a good craftsman to repair it for my grandfather..."

Very good, it seems that this guy is also a miserable person.

Has this family been targeted for generations?

Zhu Houcong couldn't believe that there was such a coincidence in this world.

"This sword is made of cold iron and is refined using the six-day method. It needs to absorb the host's essence and lifespan, and use blood to warm the soul of the sword - it seems that the sword is not far away from the completion of the sacrifice. .”

After Zhang Fawei communicated with several old men around him who were relatively prestigious among Taoists, they submitted their conclusions to Zhu Houcong.

And Gao Chuan really heard that this sword had so many words.

He also wanted to expend his own life. Thinking of the family's history of sudden deaths since they got this demonic sword, I thought that running around at sea consumed too much energy, which led to such a result.

Zhu Houcong looked at Gao Chuan's ferocious face and asked.

Obviously, this guy is very angry now.

Gao Chuan really gritted his teeth and said.

Zhang Fawei glanced at him and added.

He couldn't wait to take these people in front of him to seek revenge on the master who deceived him.

The stumbling just now was obviously all his disguise.

"And every time this sword drinks blood, someone needs to remove the evil spirit from it, so as to prevent the sword from becoming spiritually intelligent due to the evil spirit. There must be evil cultivators who are proficient in this way to guard it day and night..."

But that's obviously not the case!

Gao Chuan really looked at the evil sword in Zhu Houcong's hand, which was roasted by the Three Yang Mysterious Fire and emitted billowing black smoke.

Zhu Houcong often heard rumors about these alchemists along the way. This time he had the opportunity to meet the descendants of these pre-Qin people who mastered various magic arts.

I didn't expect this to be the reason.

"Liu Yuanjie!"

Gao Chuan really thought that he had been having nocturnal emissions and urinating blood at night recently. He thought it was the sequelae of overindulgence in playing with his wives.

The mouth and nose are almost twisted together.

"My master, he claims to be a scholar from Zhejiang, but he has failed many times, so he came to the sea to seek refuge with me, but now it seems that it is all fake-"

But Zhu Houcong can understand it.

This magic sword must have taken away my essence!

That's right! That must be it!

Only then did everyone realize that he spoke Chinese so fluently.

His expression suddenly became one of surprise and uncertainty.

"Who is this person?"

After all, anyone who hears that he might be regarded as a humanoid tool man who refines swords, or the kind that loses his life, will obviously not be in a good mood.

But before that, Zhu Houcong still had some questions to ask the pirates in front of him.

"What does this dragon have to do with you—"

Zhu Houcong naturally saw the nervousness of the Japanese pirates in front of him when he saw the corpse of the dragon.

Gao Chuan was silent for a moment, but looking at the young man in front of him, Sun En's figure unconsciously appeared in his mind.

The horrific scene played out again in his mind.

He decided to tell the truth.

"This is a treasure beast that a big shot asked me to wait for an opportunity to hunt. It is said to be related to the secret treasure from Ryukyu."

It's actually quite reasonable.

Takagawa Shinyou did not know the complicated relationship between Ryukyu and dragons before the Tang Dynasty.

But the name Ryukyu means glass and pearl.

I don’t know if Zhu Yuanzhang also considered the true meaning of the legendary Three Mountains when he gave it the name. There has long been a legend among Japanese ronin who went to sea that the treasures of the gods were hidden among the Ryukyu Islands.

Ryukyu has therefore become one of the areas that ronin likes to invade most.

But now Ryukyu is protected by the Ming court.

As the government took over maritime trade, maritime trade grew tremendously.

The Japanese people don't really value Ryukyu's gains.

Focus on plundering Ming merchant ships and Xiyi fleets.

Although the difficulty is very high, the musketeers and samurai of the Ming and Xiyi people are very brave and well-disciplined.

But as long as a business is completed, it will not be a problem to return to the hometown with money to buy a piece of land and become a small landlord.

"Sun En—do you know where this person is now?"

After hearing the news about Sun En, Zhu Houcong was naturally very concerned.

"The last time I saw Sun En was in my hometown of Beishan. It was during the Ryukyu Rebellion..."

Three Mountains Homeland.

Hearing this name, Zhu Houcong subconsciously thought of the legendary three overseas fairy islands.

Ryukyu was once divided into three parts: Shanbei, Shannan, and Shanzhong.

This era is also called the Three Mountains Era.

Is there some connection between the two?

Zhu Houcong thought.

But this is obviously not something he should consider now.

Got the guidance of Gao Chuanzhenyou.

Under the leadership of Zhang Fawei, everyone set up the sail.

A Nanyang wizard who has lived here all year round and is good at controlling water and dragons summoned the west wind to see everyone off.

"Normally, if you want to control the wind and water, you have to communicate with the Hai Clan in advance. Today, Master Zhang is here, and he can do it directly in one cast. The name of the Longhu Mountain Taoist Sect's ancestral court is indeed well-deserved."

The magic of this Nanyang wizard obviously comes from some mountain barbarian settlements near the coast in the south of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Houchong observed that his techniques not only had the shadow of the civil methods in southern Jiangxi, but also some remote Taoist sects in Jiangxi that relied on thunder to summon ghosts and gods.

Zhang Fawei smiled bitterly upon hearing this.

When their Taoist sect was strong, they could indeed command the water veins of the world, but at most they could only reach the north of the river.

Because across the river is the territory of the Quanzhen lineage. Compared with wanting to rely on magic to become an immortal, Quanzhen Taoists are not good at canonizing various wild gods and spirits.

He is also good at capturing the essence of the world, vegetation, and trees, and assists himself in training a dragon-tiger elixir to become an immortal in his physical body.

Although the results are not many, the victory is stability and reliability.

The person usually responsible for refining medicine for the emperor was Taoist Master Quanzhen.

In the original history, Jiajing relied more on several Taoist temples around the capital to refine elixirs for him.

Many disciples of the Zhengyi sect found that Longhushan's title was not as competitive as Quanzhen's, so they directly changed jobs and switched tracks and then rose through the ranks.

Jiajing has been fond of cultivating immortals since he was a child, partly because he likes metaphysics, and partly because of the influence of his father, King Xingxian.

It can be said that originally in history, King Xingxian's family were all fanatical believers in Taoism.

Jiajing grew up in such an environment, and it was completely normal to be obsessed with Taoism.

Of course, Zhu Houcong's current cultivation of immortality is for a more noble goal.

Zhang Fawei couldn't explain anything.

After all, he can't say that I am following the co-lord of Kyushu and the Four Seas, the kind of shark who will kowtow three times even when he meets me.

I could only pretend not to hear him with a straight face, which made him appear even more unfathomable in the eyes of everyone.
