Comprehensive Martial Arts: Relying on Pili Martial Arts to Achieve Dimensionality Reduction Attack

Chapter 233 Now I have to sacrifice my ancestors
Hearing Zhu Wusi's request, Lu Ping's eyes showed some doubt.

Turning to look at Shi Yanwen, he also showed surprise on his face.

Zhu Wusi continued, "To be honest, there are constant natural and man-made disasters in the Southern Wulin right now."

"Even if the imperial court can provide food and money to help the victims, as long as the problem of the damaged Suzaku spiritual vein and the loss of earth energy is not solved, not only the Suzaku Dynasty, but also the entire Southern Martial Arts World will not have peace."

"After repeated consideration, Your Majesty feels that you two are the only ones who can handle this matter."

Zhu Wusi used his eyes and gestures to refer to Lu Ping and Shi Yanwen in front of him. It was obvious that the two people he was talking about were them.

Lu Ping was slightly stunned, thinking to himself: Why does this sound so much like tricking fools into being thugs?
As expected, Shi Yanwen did not stick to it immediately, but started talking about rumors in the underworld.

"It is said that the Suzaku Dynasty was established with the help of the Suzaku Yuanling and relying on the Suzaku Spiritual Vein."

"Logically speaking, the royal family should know how to handle this situation better than I do. Why are they asking us for help now?"

Hearing this, Zhu Wusi sighed helplessly.

"There is another reason for this. Regarding the Vermillion Bird Spiritual Vein, there are not many records passed down by the royal family, and your majesty himself is also powerless."

"I wonder if you would be able to elaborate on this?"

Shi Yanwen asked, "Once we have more information, we can start to deal with it."

Zhu Wusi smiled faintly and said, "Of course, this is not a problem. I came here today because I received the order from His Majesty. I intend to tell you the whole story and ask for your help."

"According to the records in the Wenyuan Pavilion, when the Emperor Taizu of the past dynasty met the Suzaku Yuanling, he learned from the divine beast that after Suzaku died for his faith, his body was divided into three parts, turning into the tangible 'essence', the intangible 'qi', and the energy 'soul'."

"It is said that these three are hidden in three extremely secret places in the Southern Martial Forest and guarded by different people."

"Later, by chance, the Emperor Taizu of the dynasty obtained the 'qi' of the Vermillion Bird, which seemed to also include the 'luck' often mentioned by sorcerers. With this luck, Emperor Taizu was able to establish the current Vermillion Bird Dynasty."

"Since then, the Suzaku Qi has been closely bound to the Suzaku Dynasty and is now preserved in the royal mausoleum."

"It's just that after the Wushen Jue Palace invaded the Southern Wulin, I don't know how they managed to get into the mausoleum, disrupting the luck and causing the Suzaku Qi to be damaged..."

Lu Ping listened to Zhu Wushi's description, and then thought about the plot in Feng Yun, and doubts arose in his heart.

Why does it sound like the 'Suzaku Spiritual Energy' here corresponds to the 'Xuanyuan Dragon Vein' in Fengyun?
Zhu Wushi hadn't finished speaking yet.

"If it was just the spiritual energy that was damaged, it would be nothing, at most it would be a turmoil in the dynasty, but it seems that during this period of time, there was also a problem with the 'essence' of the Vermillion Bird, so the entire Southern Martial Arts World was affected."

Shi Yanwen thought for a moment and immediately asked, "Where is the so-called 'Spirit of the Vermillion Bird' hidden? Who is guarding it? Now that the 'Spirit of the Vermillion Bird' has a problem, what happened to the person guarding it?"

Zhu Wushi replied: "It is said that the essence of the Vermillion Bird evolved into a valley filled with flames and magma all year round."

"As for the guards, we only know that their surname is Tong, they live in seclusion in a place called 'Shuiyuedongtian', and they are very good at magic."

Lu Ping's eyes went dark and he fell silent: "......?!"

The Tong clan? Shuiyue Cave? A valley filled with flames and magma all year round?

Could it be that the essence of Vermillion Bird is the 'Hell Rock'?
If Shuiyue Cave was frozen by Xue Ruyi as the original plot developed, it would be no wonder that the imperial court would say that "the essence of Vermillion Bird was damaged."

Lu Ping suddenly interrupted and asked, "According to what the Divine Marquis said, the royal family seems to have no dealings with the Tong family, so how do we know that it was the 'Spirit of the Vermillion Bird' that was damaged?"

Zhu Wusi shook his head and replied, "It's just a guess. We can't be sure whether it's the 'Spirit of the Vermillion Bird' that was damaged or the 'God of the Vermillion Bird' that was in trouble."

"It's just that there is no record of the 'Suzaku God' in the classics, so we can only focus on the 'Suzaku Essence' for now."

Fine……

Everyone was silent for a moment, as if they were sorting out their thoughts.

After a while, Shi Yanwen asked, "Is there any part of this that requires Yanwen's help?"

"Do you want me to find the location of Shuiyue Cave Heaven and check whether the essence of Suzaku is stable?"

Zhu Wusi shook his head: "On the contrary, it is not easy for me to find someone, so I came here this time hoping to ask the Confucian hero to help stabilize the Suzaku spiritual energy."

"This... But Shi Yanwen is not proficient in magic, so I really don't know where to start."

Shi Yanwen was in a dilemma. He turned around and looked at the strange-looking man who had been staying beside him. "I wonder if you, Yan Tuolong, have any ideas?"

This strange-looking man is indeed Yan Tuolong!
Yan Tuolong is Shi Yanwen's friend.

According to the setting of New Golden Light, Yan Tuolong is a human-demon hybrid who has lived for hundreds of years. He was the former number one magician in the world, and his strength was on par with Shi Yanwen and Cang Jingren. However, after his skills were abolished, he turned into an academic research scholar.

Lu Ping's eyes widened, thinking to himself: Yan Tuolong has appeared, which means there are demon families in this world. Then the demons and Yuan Xiehuang are also...

"You finally remembered me?" Without giving it any thought, Yan Tuolong stood up with his hands behind his back.

"In fact, if you want to solve the problem of the unstable spiritual energy of Suzaku, the method is very simple."

"The Suzaku Dynasty was established with the Suzaku spiritual energy, so every emperor buried in the mausoleum has a close connection with this spiritual energy."

"Now all I need is something with great luck or similar energy as a support, and then use magic to bind the Suzaku spiritual energy with the Yuanling of successive emperors in the mausoleum, so that it forms an energy bridge for the three parties to communicate with each other. This will temporarily restore the damaged Suzaku spiritual energy and prevent the loss of earth energy."

Everyone roughly understood it, and the situation was probably similar to this:
In the past, it was the Suzaku spiritual energy that helped revitalize the dynasty. Now, the emperors of all generations of the dynasty need to give back with their own luck and spiritual essence. In this process, an instrument with sufficient energy is needed.

In fact, Yan Tuolong was a little nervous when he said this.

It's not that his method is bad, but the person in front of him is a member of the royal family of the Suzaku Dynasty, but he said in front of the other person that he wants to sacrifice the souls of the other person's ancestors to protect the dynasty, which is somewhat embarrassing.

But he didn't know that in Zhu Wusi's opinion, such things were not worth mentioning at all.

Just imagine, would an ambitious uncle who covets the throne care about something like "exploiting the value of the dead"?
Yes, Zhu Wusi didn't feel bad about it at all.

He only cared about whether he could have a peaceful and prosperous country after he became emperor in the future.

What's more, the Suzaku Dynasty was originally established with the Suzaku spiritual energy. Now it is just to let the ancestors return it, which is reasonable.

Sure enough, Zhu Wushi was both happy and worried after hearing this: "Although we have a method, where can we find such a thing now?"

Yan Tuolong scratched his head and said, "In fact, there is no need to bother looking for this thing. There is one ready-made one right now."

Everyone asked, "What is it?"

Yan Tuolong turned to look at Shi Yanwen and said, "It's your Longquan Sword, Yanwen!"

"Longquan Sword?" Everyone was stunned.

"Yes, it is the Longquan Sword!"

Yan Tuolong nodded and said, "The Longquan Sword was forged by Ou Yezi during the Spring and Autumn Period. There are three thousand ghost spirits and eight thousand human souls gathered on the sword. This energy is enough to become the best medium for transformation."

Hearing this, Lu Ping suddenly remembered that in the golden light, the Longquan Sword seemed to have been used by Young Master Kaiming to prevent the loss of earth energy.

Zhu Wusi was overjoyed: "In this way, can we solve the current predicament of Nanwulin?"

Unexpectedly, Yan Tuolong shook his head in distress.

"Of course it's not enough!"

"To put it bluntly, this method is to use the spirits of the emperors of the dynasty to replenish the spiritual energy of the Vermillion Bird. However, the dynasty has been established for more than a hundred years, and there have only been a few emperors. How long can their spirits last?"

It turns out it was just a temporary relief...

Zhu Wushi asked again: "What else do we need to do to completely solve it?"

Yan Tuolong thought for a moment and said, "Although the spirit of the Vermillion Bird has been separated from its body, there is still a certain connection between them. It can be said that the three prosper together and suffer together. Otherwise, they would not have happened to change at the same time."

"Now that the problem of spiritual energy has been temporarily solved, we must deal with the problems with spirit and mind as soon as possible. As long as all three problems are solved, Nanwulin will naturally be able to return to its previous state."

"If it is not resolved, as time goes by, the spirits of successive emperors will be exhausted, and the suppressive effect of the Longquan Sword will begin to weaken until it loses its effect completely. At that time, it will return to its current state."

In this case, there is no time to lose.

Shi Yanwen asked again: "Yan Tuolong, according to your estimation, how long can the Dragon Spring Sword last?"

What did you want to ask just now?
How long can the emperors of all dynasties last?

Yan Tuolong thought about it and gave a conservative time: "About three months."

Three months...

Shangguan Haitang was troubled: "As for the Vermillion Bird Spirit, we at least have clues about the 'Tong Clan' and 'Water Moon Cave Heaven', but as for the Vermillion Bird God, where should we start?"

Yan Tuolong scratched his head and said, "How about this? I'll look through the books of the Demon Sect family when I get back to see if there are any relevant records."

"I'll trouble you in this case, but before that, I'd like to ask you to deal with the matter of Suzaku's spiritual energy."

Zhu Wusi said as he looked at Shi Yanwen: "Mr. Shi, I don't know..."

"I understand!"

Shi Yanwen immediately replied: "If it can ease the current situation, I will offer you the Longquan Sword with both hands."
