"That's strange … Why did this kid's providence change so drastically? Moreover, the bloodbath is faint, but the aura of wealth is overwhelming? "
Mr. Xu covered his mouth and muttered to himself until there was no one around.
He was actually a Fengshui Master in the County Governor's Mansion. He had some supernatural abilities and could see the aura, but that was all.
The aristocratic families in this world would always keep a few people like him in case of emergencies.
In the past few months, Mr. Xu saw that everyone in the County Governor's Mansion had a greyish-black aura on their faces, which was an ominous sign. He wanted to find an excuse to escape, but unexpectedly, he met this kid again.
Originally, Li Yu's providence could only be considered average.
But when he saw it just now, there was a flash of purple aura at the base of the mountain, which was a sign of nobility!
With this auspicious aura, even the aura of death of the people in the mansion became thinner. He couldn't help but be puzzled, and his respect for the Heavenly Dao increased.
…
After settling this important matter, Wu Ming didn't go back. He stayed in the inn and quietly waited for the arrival of the second day of the second month.
"In the fifth year of Linghe, Huang Jie's army was defeated, and his army of 500,000 collapsed. He was killed by the Imperial Preceptor in the Fallen Dragon Plain …"
Sunlight shone through the paper window and reflected spots of light in the room.
While waiting, other than his daily cultivation homework, Wu Ming didn't let go of the book. He was quite pleased with himself as he read the rural legends and folklore that Wu Tiehu had collected.
Some of the truth of history was inadvertently revealed in the words.
"… At that time, the heavens were angry, and blood rained down. Within a hundred miles, stars appeared in broad daylight, and the Seven Kill, Army Destroyer, and Ravenous Wolf stars shone brightly, turning into black dragons …"
In a tattered ancient book, this page was specially marked by Wu Ming's fingernail.
"Huang Jie himself had the fate of Wolf Destroyer, which is quite reasonable … Moreover, with this person's supernatural power, he was able to kill his Imperial Preceptor. How impressive would that be?"
Wu Ming closed the ancient book, and his thoughts wandered.
He was now a Sorcerer, and if he went up, he would be a Perfected Person with his primordial spirit out of his body. Above that would be the Celestial Preceptor!
As for the Imperial Advisor, he was not a cultivator, but a Daoist conferred by the country!
Of course, those who were conferred the title of Imperial Tutor were supreme grade cultivators. In theory, not only could they absorb the country's luck to cultivate, they could even control the Dragon Energy and cause the death of the country's ministers!
With this premise, there were very few monarchs who were willing to confer the title of Imperial Preceptor. After all, this was equivalent to sharing a divine artifact!
With so many restrictions, once he succeeded, there would naturally be many benefits.
In history, those who had been conferred this title were at least Perfected Ones. With the luck of the country, not only were they successful in their cultivation, even Celestial Masters who had reached the peak of Human Immortal Realm could not compete with them.
Even the Earth Level Deities were afraid.
Ordinary Daoists, who had yet to reach the level of a sorcerer, would not be able to use Dao techniques on the battlefield. However, the Imperial Tutor would be able to ignore the blood spirits and military Qi.
"Speaking of which … the 'Tai Sui Evil Suppressing Talisman' that I exchanged last time was also drawn by the Imperial Tutor. It can suppress the backlash of the Dragon Energy. It is indeed very magical …"
Wu Ming's expression was a little strange. "Back then … the death of the Spirit Emperor seemed to have something to do with the conferment of the Imperial Tutor. But later, the Imperial Tutor did not disappoint. He defeated Huang Jie and killed him in the Fallen Dragon Plain … He seemed to have died after that … This was a great contribution to the country. Because he was a Daoist of the Jade Pure Sect, the Emperor appointed the Jade Pure Sect as the chief of the world's Daoist sects. As long as one entered the Daoist register, he would be exempted from taxes and labor …"
A doubt in his heart was finally solved.
"I was wondering … there are so many experts in the world. Military, shamans, Gu Masters, Qi Refiners of the Confucian Sects, martial arts experts … Why does the imperial court treat Daoists so well? So this is the reason … But with such expenses, the country …"
Although this was what he said, if there was a chance to become a Imperial Tutor, Wu Ming would also harden his heart and be tempted.
Huang Jie had the fate of killing the wolf. Once he appeared, the world would be in chaos. Unexpectedly, he was forcibly suppressed by the Imperial Tutor. The struggle within was unfathomable and even more fascinating.
"Carrying the destiny of the country, I will succeed in every endeavor!"
Wu Ming murmured, "But even when I am in power, even Earth Immortals have to temporarily avoid the sharp edge. It is not a long-term path after all!"
In this aspect, he himself had a deep understanding of it. Previously, he had only come into contact with Li Rubi's Dragon Energy. Relying on cultivation, he had already sown such a huge karma. He had almost been completely destroyed by the backlash.
The Imperial Tutor carried the destiny of the dynasty. Although he could wantonly extract the Dragon Energy, if the country declined, could he still escape?
…
Bang!
The sound of firecrackers came from outside.
Wu Ming pushed open the window and felt a clamor.
The excitement of the Spring Festival had not passed yet. At this time, the county city was immersed in preparations for the upcoming 2nd of February.
Not only were the households decorated with lanterns and streamers, but there were also a few large dragon boat teams on the river. They were training day and night. The sound of slogans, gongs and drums, and cheers were very noisy.
"Ignorance is bliss … If you know what this means, I don't know if you can still be so calm."
Wu Ming laughed bitterly and suddenly realized something. "In the blink of an eye, it is already the end of the month. The Dragon Gate Gathering is coming in the blink of an eye!"
At this moment, his expression suddenly changed!
"Who is it?"
His right hand formed a seal, and there was a faint sound of wind and thunder.
"Brother, it's me!"
A gentle female voice came, but it made Wu Ming let out a long breath and let down his guard. He turned around and looked at the smiling Wu Qing. He couldn't help but laugh bitterly. "Sister, can you not be so scary every time you appear?"
"I purposely came in without anyone knowing!"
Wu Qing was dressed in a Daoist robe. She looked ethereal, like a fairy that had descended to the mortal world. She sat on the bed leisurely and looked around. "The county city is currently in danger. Why aren't you leaving yet?"
Wu Ming's heart skipped a beat.
Judging from how Wu Qing was alone and didn't dare to reveal her presence, she must have noticed something as well.
"Also, the Daoist art that you used earlier … Is it the Thunder spell? Thunder is the core of the world, and it's the basis of Yin and Yang. In terms of prowess, the Thunder spell is the strongest among all Daoist arts … "
Wu Ming was speechless.
It was fortunate that he hadn't made a move yet, and he had only revealed a hint of the aura of the Thunder spell.
Otherwise, if Wu Qing were to learn that he had become a Daoist, he would be in even more trouble.
At the level of a Daoist, one's foundation was deep. The Talisman in the sea of consciousness was like a mustard seed, and he was on the same level as Wu Qing. Even though he was intentionally holding back, Wu Qing was still unable to see through his disguise.
"I happened to come across a manual called the Five Thunder Palm Art. It was created by a wandering cultivator who had entered the Dao through martial arts. I found it to be quite to my liking, so I cultivated it a little … If sister wants to take a look, I can recite the manual once."
Initially, Wu Ming thought that the Five Thunder Palm Art was something that Yu Shaojun had exchanged for. However, after some thought, he realized that it was impossible for a Reincarnated Traveler to be allowed to learn such a manual. Thus, there was an 80% chance that Yu Shaojun had obtained it from the World of Samsara.
In fact, it might even be something that Reverend Nanshan had bestowed upon him in order to rope him in.
"Forget it!"
Wu Qing rolled her eyes at Wu Ming. "Did you meet my close friend?"
"No, but I have already obtained the token …"
Wu Ming took out the bracelet and told Wu Qing about what happened that day.
Wu Qing's expression remained unchanged after listening to Zhang Xuan's story. After a moment of silence, she said, "This sister of mine is the daughter of the Nanfeng County's Wu Clan. She has an arrogant and headstrong personality. If you are to get along with her, you'll have to tolerate her …"
The 'entrusting' in her words made Wu Ming's eyelids twitch.
Then, he glanced at Wu Qing's luck and saw the grayish-black tribulation aura rumbling furiously, as though a storm was brewing. He couldn't help but ask, "Sister Qing, have you discovered the source of the tribulation after coming to the County City? Perhaps it can be resolved … "
"This … I do have some clues …"
Wu Qing's eyes flickered, and the flirtatious look on her face was enough to mesmerize any man. "The Wang Clan took a roundabout way to look for me. It seems like they intend to matchmake me with their son, Wang Yu …"
"Hm?!"
Wu Ming was bewildered. If the Wang Clan intended to marry Wu Qing, wouldn't that make him the brother-in-law of the Wang Clan? Why would there be such a tribulation? Also, how could he explain Wu Qing's tribulation?
"Have you … agreed to it?"
Wu Ming asked anxiously. He guessed that Wu Qing's personality might be unyielding, and her heart was filled with the pursuit of the Dao. How could she possibly be willing to marry someone else? As such, she forcefully rejected it and left behind a hidden danger?
"Brother, what do you think?"
Wu Qing didn't reply. Instead, she stared at Wu Ming with a pair of eyes that seemed to be smiling.
Wu Ming immediately shuddered. This was an instinctive reaction from his body. In the memories of the profligate son, if Wu Qing were to show such an expression, it would mean that she was in deep trouble.
Thus, he immediately made up his mind, "Of course not!"
"Why not?"
"This …"
Wu Ming couldn't think of a reason, so he couldn't come up with an answer for a moment.
Seeing his reaction, Wu Qing burst into laughter. Along with her laughter, the entire room seemed to have turned into spring, and flowers bloomed in the room.
"I won't tease you anymore … However, you are right about one thing. This marriage is unacceptable!"
A cold sneer surfaced on Wu Qing's face. "That Wang Yu is nothing more than a good-for-nothing on the outside. He wants to become my Dao companion, but in the secular world, he intends to make me his concubine!"
"This is preposterous!"
Wu Ming immediately expressed his indignation. Most of his words were sincere.
"Not only so, even though he tried to keep his cultivation a secret, it doesn't escape my eyes. It's the Grand Plainness Yin Scripture, and it has a secret art that allows him to absorb a female cultivator's yin energy, fate, and luck to strengthen himself. Do you think that I'll become his cauldron?"
Wu Qing sneered coldly.
"I see!"
Wu Ming finally understood why the Wang Clan was so hostile toward him. "They really deserve to be punished!"
"My rejection of the Wang Clan has caused a huge disaster. The Dragon Gate Assembly will be held in three days, so you should leave quickly. It's best if you head to Nanfeng County right away. You can decide whether to stay or leave after the dust has settled!"
Wu Qing said solemnly. Her words touched Wu Ming's heart, "Sister …"
"Remember! The earlier you leave, the better! "
While Wu Qing was still speaking, her figure had already disappeared.
