Evil Master and Disciple

The current situation is the worst outcome that the six sub-saints had anticipated.

Dragon veins and luck are two different things.

Luck is invisible and intangible. More than half of the luck accumulated by the dynasty was seized by Confucian monks, thus becoming their own righteous energy.

The dragon vein is located underground. It is not a spiritual vein, but an energy body that is even more mysterious than the spiritual vein.

It is invisible, but has substance.

This energy body is called the dragon vein because it can influence the destiny of the dynasty.

Now that the dragon vein has lost its suppression, it will definitely leak out.

If it is not handled properly, there will be chaos in the world.

At this moment, the six sub-saints were at a loss.

Because this kind of situation has not been encountered in more than three thousand years since the founding of the Daqian Dynasty.

The head of the Imperial Academy, Tea Sage Lu Henian, said, "Old Qiu is right. Since Prince Ning has already stolen the Sword of the Nation, our top priority now is not to hold Prince Ning accountable, but to minimize the impact of the Dragon Qi leak as much as possible."

The poet Li Ling, known for his strong character, said, "Preventing the dragon's energy from leaking out and punishing Lin Yi are not contradictory."

"How should we punish him?" Nangong Qinghui, the zither master and the dean of Honglu Academy, said, "Your Majesty cannot be informed of this matter, and Lin Yi is a prince who has established his own government. If we touch him, this matter will definitely become a big deal.

If the world knew that the dragon energy of the Daqian Dynasty was leaking out in large quantities, who knows how many ambitious people would want to declare themselves kings.

Apart from anything else, the Prince of Zhenbei commands a million elite soldiers and has long harbored rebellious intentions towards the imperial court. In order to stabilize the Prince of Zhenbei, His Majesty even planned to betroth Princess Changning to the Prince of Zhenbei's son.

If the capital is in turmoil and the dragon energy leaks out, can the King of Zhenbei remain unfaithful?

There is also the General Zhenxi, the King of Southwest B... Which one of them doesn't have his own troops and is very powerful?

Furthermore, how did Lin Yi know that the Sword of the Nation was the Scarlet Scale Divine Sword? Who restored his cultivation? Where did he get an iron sword identical to the Sword of the Nation to hang here?

Lin Yi, after all, is just a man in his thirties, whose cultivation level is only at the Guiyuan Realm. This is definitely not something that Lin Yi could have done. There must be someone behind him plotting a big conspiracy."

Nangong Qinghui's words made several sub-saints nod slowly.

Lin Yi is not a man who can accomplish great things, and he does not have the ability to repair his broken dantian and meridians by himself.

Even His Majesty and these other sub-saints of today do not know the secret of the Sword of the Nation, so there is absolutely no way that Lin Yi could know it.

Several sub-saints engaged in a heated discussion, but Qiu Changlin was the only one who did not express his opinion on the matter.

Because he knew much more about Lin Yi than these sub-saints.

The day before yesterday, Ye Feng told him in the Sage Building what Lin Yi had done in the Yunhai Sect, and also mentioned the old woman behind Lin Yi.

Qiu Changlin is not stupid. He and Ye Feng have the same suspicion that it was that mysterious woman who helped Lin Yi recover his cultivation.

This time, the Sword of Nation incident is probably closely related to that mysterious woman.

Confucianism seemed to be flourishing, there were many scholars in the world, and almost all officials were Confucian scholars.

However, there are actually not many true Confucian practitioners in the world, and most of them are concentrated in the capital.

Since that mysterious woman can easily stir up the situation in the world of cultivation, then dealing with them, the Confucians, is a piece of cake.

So Qiu Changlin didn't want to conflict with the mysterious woman.

However, Lin Yi had to deal with it, but it couldn't be handled by the Confucians, otherwise it might provoke a counterattack from the other party.

Seeing that everyone was arguing, Qiu Changlin said, "Stop arguing. Lin Yi is an abandoned disciple of the Yunhai Sect. Now that he has recovered his cultivation, this matter should be left to the Yunhai Sect to handle. We don't need to interfere.

Our focus now should be on sealing the dragon vein. We must reseal the dragon vein as soon as possible."

Wen Lianggong said: "Dragon veins are yang, and the object that can seal the dragon veins must be a pure yang treasure like the Red Scale Divine Sword.

But, even if we retrieve the Scarlet Scale Sword from Lin Yi, can the six of us really reseal the Dragon Vein with our combined strength?"

Everyone fell into silence.

There seems to be only one step between the sub-sage and the Confucian sage, but it is as difficult to cross as the realm of emptiness and the realm of heaven in the world of cultivation.

There are countless masters in the Huaxu realm in the world, but in the past few hundred years, public information shows that only the current head of the Xuanzhen sect broke through to the Tianzhi realm some time ago.

The last strong man who broke through the limit of heaven was Dugu Chan, the sword god of Yunhai Sect eight hundred years ago.

Of course, there are definitely some hidden powerful people in the world, but their number is definitely not too many.

The understanding of the Way of Heaven by the Sub-Sage and the Confucian Sage is incomparable. The gap between the two cannot be made up by quantity.

Several sub-saints knew very well that even if the Red Scale Divine Sword was placed in front of them, they would probably be unable to re-seal the dragon vein.

Because it is a rather complicated process.

In addition to one's own abilities, one also needs to be extremely sensitive to dragon energy and even need to know the specific locations of the 9,999 dragon-suppressing pillars.

But, more than three thousand years have passed. Is the Dragon-Suppressing Map still in the palace?

Wenyuan Pavilion Grand Secretary and Go Master Zhuge Xuance smiled bitterly and said, "It's a pity that we Confucians cultivate Qi and luck, not Dragon Veins. If we could find a master who cultivates Dragon Veins to help us, perhaps with the combined strength of the six of us, we could reseal the Dragon Vein."

Nangong Qinghui said, "There were indeed dragon vein cultivators in the past. The Taiyin Earth Dragon Sutra, practiced by the eunuchs of the previous dynasty, seems to be related to dragon veins. However, this set of dragon vein cultivation techniques has long been lost. I'm afraid there is no one in the world who understands this method anymore, alas."

Everyone sighed as well.

Qiu Changlin said calmly, "We are not at the end of our rope yet. We still have decades to go. Just because we Confucians can't do it doesn't mean that the masters of Taoism and Buddhism can't do it either.

Nowadays, the relationship between the imperial court and the Taoist and Buddhist sects is quite harmonious. If we are really sure that we Confucians cannot repair the dragon vein seal, we can only seek help from Taoism and Buddhism.

The world does not belong to the imperial court, nor to Confucianism, but to all people. I believe that the masters of Buddhism and Taoism will not sit idly by and watch the world fall into chaos."

Everyone was silent.

This is the last step.

Unless it is absolutely necessary, Confucianism will not easily seek help from Taoism and Buddhism.

This is not only a matter of face, but also related to past history.

Ten thousand years ago, Confucianism stood out from the crowd, surpassing all other schools of thought and becoming the foremost school of thought in the world.

Later, Daxia destroyed Confucianism, and various schools of thought joined forces to attack Confucianism.

Confucians will never forget this history.

Seeing that no one was talking, Qiu Changlin continued, "I will let Ye Feng handle Lin Yi's matter. If the leader of Yunhai Sect, Master Yun Yi, knew that Lin Yi had recovered his cultivation, he would definitely not let it go. So we can put Lin Yi's issue aside for now.

Now we must go back immediately and see if we can find the original diagram of the dragon-suppressing formation that the Confucian sage laid out back then. We must quickly determine how many dragon-suppressing pillars there are in the capital, and the exact location of each one."

(This is to make up for the chapter I wrote last night. I drank too much last night.)
