Ao Yi was stunned for a long time before he understood what Xu Shenxing meant.
His distant brother had found his father's lost priesthood, which should have been lost a long time ago.
But theoretically speaking, that should be impossible.
Ao Yi's father was once the Dragon God in charge of the Heavenly River — not the one in Journey to the West, but a real mighty river that led from the earth to the Heavenly Realm.
After the collapse of Mount Buzhou, the Heavenly Pillar, in the Primordial Age, this was one of the few channels that led directly to the Heavenly Realm.
Because of this, Ao Yi's father was respected as a nobleman in the Dragon Clan. Even the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas were inferior to him.
But more than seven hundred years ago, the strongest human cultivator, Liu Ji, led a group of top cultivators of that era and blew up the Heavenly River, completely cutting off all connections between the Heavenly Realm and the human world.
In order to keep the Heavenly River flowing, Ao Yi's father held on for more than three years. Later, Ao Yi's mother came to help, but the couple died of exhaustion in the end. Their bones were buried in the Dragon Vein by Liu Ji to repair the Boundary of the Nine Provinces that had been damaged by years of war, so that the fortune of the human race could continue to flourish.
Theoretically speaking, Ao Yi's father's priesthood would return to the Heavenly Realm after his death, but his body was buried in the Dragon Vein, the lifeline of the earth. The Dragon Vein was killed by the Ten Shamans and transformed from the Aurogon in Pangu's body. After Pangu died, his right eye turned into the Sun God, Donghuang Taiyi, and the Aurogon fought against Donghuang Taiyi, who brought light. The Ten Shamans, transformed from Pangu's ten fingers, killed the Aurogon under Donghuang Taiyi's order. Then, Donghuang Taiyi gave the Sacred Mountain transformed from Pangu's palm to the Ten Shamans. The Ten Shamans lived in seclusion on the mountain and were called the Ten Shamans of Sacred Mountain.
After the death of the Aurogon, the candle flame in its mouth gave birth to the original dragon, the Aurogon, and its resentment condensed into a single eye, the Aurogon, who could interfere with day and night, Yin and Yang.
As the Aurogon, the origin of the Dragon Clan and the apex of the Dragon Clan, the Dragon Vein had a mysterious and powerful power. The priesthood of the Heavenly River God was probably still in its decaying bones.
Even in this era, human sorcerers had only discovered some earth veins that were branches of the Dragon Vein. The true location of the Dragon Vein was still a mystery.
Even a god like the Earth God could not trace the source of the earth veins and find the legendary Dragon Veins.
Because of this, it was theoretically impossible to find the clergy of Ao Yi's father.
And the reason why Ao Yi knew all of this was because his parents knew that they were going to die, so at the end of their lives, they used their last spiritual power to write a letter home and called the White Mantis (a kind of immortal bird that looked a bit like a pheasant. Because it was born with the magical power of space, its entire race specialized in the function of sending letters in the Heaven Realm) and passed it to Ao Yi.
"Anything is possible."
When Ao Yi explained the general situation to Xu Shenxing, a voice suddenly came from the balcony where Xu Shenxing had broken the glass.
Xu Shenxing and Ao Yi looked in the direction of the voice and found that it was Brother Dragon, Ao Li.
"Brother?"
Ao Yi hurriedly greeted.
Ao Li seemed to want to put on a serious and cold face, but when he saw Xu Shenxing's appearance with a bra on his head, he immediately broke down and couldn't help but laugh.
Xu Shenxing didn't notice the reason for the other party's laughter at all. He was just wondering why this guy laughed foolishly when he saw his brother. Suddenly, the atmosphere in the whole room became gay.
"Actually, I found the old site of the Skyfall Cascade … Although the Skyfall Cascade was destroyed, the good thing is that the old site is located in a rather desolate place. It hasn't been destroyed by human development."
After laughing enough, Ao Li put on a serious face again and told the whole story, "I found the remnants of Uncle's clergy in that old site … We guessed right, after Uncle died, his clergy did not return to Heaven, but still remained in his body that was placed in the Dragon Vein."
"In other words, you found the legendary Dragon Vein?"
Xu Shenxing asked curiously.
After all, according to the time plan, the little fatty Ao Yi's original life release pool should have been filled up. If he hadn't obtained a new clergy, it should have dissipated by now.
When Ao Yi heard Xu Shenxing's words, he immediately looked at Ao Li with an expectant gaze.
The Dragon Vein was like an enhanced version of a blessed place for practitioners. If an ordinary blessed place was a small well-furnished apartment, then the Dragon Vein was at least as luxurious as the Forbidden City. It had no value to Ao Yi. What he wanted was the bodies of his parents that were placed in the Dragon Vein.
The dragon race didn't say that they could rest in peace because most of the dragons belonged to the water element and were restrained by the earth element. But the bodies were used as materials to repair the enchantment. The souls didn't seem to be able to rest in peace, right?
Even the Enchantment of the Nine Provinces, which had protected Huaxia since ancient times, had long disappeared because of the thin spiritual energy. During the Anti-Japanese War, the practitioners of Fusang's Yin-Yang Shitao could easily invade Huaxia, which was the best proof that the Enchantment of the Nine Provinces was ineffective.
So there was no need to continue to expose the bodies of the little fatty Ao Yi's parents, right?
"Unfortunately, although I have roughly guessed the location of the Dragon Vein, I'm not sure if I can escape unscathed after entering."
Ao Li shook his head and said to the little fatty's disappointed eyes, "I just collected the remaining clergy left by your uncle in the ruins of the Heavenly Stream and integrated them into a 'pseudo-clergy' to temporarily save your life."
"Pseudo-Clergy?"
"Yes. Speaking of which, I have to thank this one."
Ao Li pointed to Xu Shenxing, who was yawning because he didn't know what the two were talking about.
"Me?" After finding that both of them were looking at him, Xu Shenxing scratched his face.
"Yes, isn't there a similar existence in your apartment? I used that existence to reluctantly create a pseudo-clergy. "
After hearing Ao Li's words, Xu Shenxing remembered that Chihaya Fukayama in his apartment was indeed not the same as the other gods.
Her clergy was not complete. As the God of War, her name was with Xu Shenxing. As for the Water God and the Earth God, most of her authority was left with Fusang. Her own divinity was also a mixture of two unrelated positions, so she had not obtained the real divine authority so far.
Xu Shenxing crossed his arms and thought for a moment, then asked with a serious face, "Then can I collect patent fees?"
"…"
Putting aside a certain money-grubber who took every opportunity to accumulate wealth, the current situation was actually not that complicated.
Although Ao Li successfully used the pseudo-clergy to hang on to the little fatty Ao Yi's life, this kind of thing was probably not very reliable. Perhaps one day, the little fatty's burp would cause the pseudo-clergy to collapse, and the whole person would just dissipate.
And if he wanted to complete the pseudo-clergy, he had to find the remaining half of the clergy. Not everyone was like Xu Shenxing, who could knead two different clergies together like plasticine and still be able to operate smoothly today.
"Wait, this doesn't seem to be within the scope of my job?"
At this point, Xu Shenxing suddenly came to a realization and said with a fist.
"I can pay more."
Ao Li took out a small palm-sized wallet, and there was the sound of coins clinking in it.
"Just a few coins won't buy it …"
Before Old Xu could finish his words, Ao Li opened the small wallet's button, and a pile of coins fell out with a clatter.
And it was the kind of gold that was so dazzling that people couldn't open their eyes.
"All of them are genuine 24k gold coins."
Ao Li smiled slightly, "You know that I've lived for a long time, and if I'm not careful, a dynasty will pass. If I hoard coins, it's easy to not use them, so this thing is more valuable."
"Ahem, well, actually I don't have anything important to do recently."
Xu Shenxing put his right hand in front of his mouth and coughed dryly, then said with a smile, "So it's not impossible for me to help a little …"
"…"
Ao Yi looked at all of this with his mouth agape, and suddenly felt that his brother's back had become towering. Look at how easily that terrifying human was convinced.
Since it was already decided, there was no time to lose. Ao Li quickly prepared to go explore the Dragon Vein.
By the way, when Xu Shenxing went home to prepare, he found the fancy hat on his head, so he angrily beat up the two brothers.
Other than Xu Shenxing himself, he also brought along Mo Li, who was fired because he stole 80% of all the ice cream and coconut in the milk tea shop's stock, so he also had nothing to do.
☆
"This is Jiuchuan."
Ao Li speculated that the location of the Dragon Vein was near the plateau, in a mountain ridge where there were few people.
"I found this place when I was researching the location of the Dragon Vein."
If it was a place where birds didn't lay eggs, it was no wonder that no one had been able to find the Dragon Vein …
"Why did you guess that the Dragon Vein was in a place like this?"
Xu Shenxing looked at the white snow that had begun to appear on the surrounding mountains and couldn't help but ask.
"The origin of Li Shui is about 20 kilometers away from here." Ao Li replied, "I didn't care about this at first, but then I realized that it was a bit strange. According to general geology, there shouldn't be a spring in that place."
"You know geology?" Xu Shenxing was shocked.
"I know a bit," Ao Li said with a smug face, "I've basically gone to all the geological universities in the country."
"…"
This wasn't in the category of just knowing a bit!
"All in all," Brother Dragon didn't care about Xu Shenxing's shocked expression and only continued to speak. In the gradually cold environment, white water vapor came out of his mouth, "When I was doing an in-depth investigation along the spring, I found that there was actually an Earth Vein inside, and the density of the spirit energy inside was very strange. Plus, I've previously investigated the Dragon Vein through Kunlun's ancient books, so I vaguely felt that the Dragon Vein was probably nearby. After Ao Yi's accident, I specifically came here to investigate and finally confirmed that it should be around here. "
As he walked, Ao Li suddenly stopped.
He looked around, then nodded and said to Xu Shenxing, "It's about here, do you know how to use Earth Escape?"
"Of course, don't worry, I'm very good at it."
Xu Shenxing immediately replied cheerfully, "Earth Escape (Physics)."
