Chapter 289 Emperor Seal
In the dark pit, there seemed to be a strange power blocking, adding a layer of mystery to this place.
It makes people want to explore, but they are worried about the danger inside.
Even people in the industry cannot see the scene inside through this dark pit.
Only Zhou An is different.
Zhou An's chaotic eyes seem to be able to see through everything, and he can easily see the situation inside.
In this deep pit, there is an object that emerges from the deep pit.
When this object reveals its true face, not only Zhou An, but also all the masters of the Saint Realm present are stunned on the spot.
This is a jade seal, crystal clear, with a sense of simplicity and desolation.
And on the jade seal, there are four big characters engraved.
These four characters are not existing characters, but extremely ancient fonts.
Zhou An once participated in the translation of the tombstone, and happened to recognize these characters based on his previous memory.
——Dayu Emperor Seal
The people in the industry present were all masters of the entire Saint Realm, so they naturally knew what these four words represented.
The Great Domain Dynasty, the dynasty that dominated the world in the ancient times.
Even the four countries now are far behind.
The jade seal we see now has already shown its specific weight.
This is the jade seal of the Great Domain Dynasty, which was used by the emperor at that time and represented the peak of power of the entire Great Domain Dynasty.
"I understand." Zheng Quan swallowed his saliva and said with difficulty.
"No wonder, no wonder even a figure of the level of the White Sword God would die here."
"It turns out that this is the place where the jade seal is fought for."
"It is reasonable to die here."
He who gets the jade seal gets the world.
This sentence is absolutely correct.
The emperor's profession is listed as the fifth category in the unspoken rules. Although there is no explicit regulation, everyone knows that this is indeed true.
And the jade seal is a thing that condenses the national destiny of a dynasty.
At the beginning, the Great Chu State was tricked by the previous dynasty because of this, resulting in a part of the national destiny being divided away.
The jade seal of the Great Domain Dynasty in front of him is even more precious.
Let alone other things, after getting the jade seal, even if you abandon all your cultivation and specialize in the emperor's business, you can still make a splash with the remaining national destiny in the jade seal.
Then you can build your own country and rely on it. I'm afraid it won't take long for you to reach the peak.
So it's very normal for the White-clothed Sword God to die here.
Who doesn't want to fight for the world?
The sword god who uses the sword must not be moved by fame and fortune?
It's just that the fame and fortune are not big enough.
Zhou An fell into deep thought, and then stretched out his hand.
"Lord Zhou, be careful, the jade seal carries the national destiny, you must not touch it casually, be careful of getting hurt."
Zheng Quan saw this scene and hurriedly reminded him.
The jade seal is a national treasure.
If there is no unique way to store it, it will suffer a terrible backlash.
Zheng Quan was worried that Zhou An didn't know, so he quickly told the matter.
But just as the voice fell, a terrifying scene appeared in front of everyone.
This jade seal, which symbolizes the Great Domain Dynasty, actually fell into Zhou An's hands obediently without any resistance.
Zhou An: "..."
He felt that his feeling was right.
After the jade seal came out, it conveyed a kind of intimacy to him.
It was not that the jade seal had spirits, but that the national destiny inside was like this.
As for why...
Because Zhou An had seen the owner of the jade seal, that is, the emperor of the Great Domain Dynasty, the half-human and half-weird old Yang.
Old Yang admired him very much.
In other words, under the love of the house and the dog, this jade seal is like his own treasure.
Zhou An turned around and put the jade seal into the pink purse.
He coughed lightly and said, "Everyone, just pretend you haven't seen everything just now."
In fact, this thing is really important.
But for the emperors of the four major countries, they wished they could stay away from it.
The reason is that these emperors are also ruthless people, and they are all the national destiny they have condensed.
If you use the jade seal of the Great Domain Dynasty, I am afraid that it will be mixed together, which will pollute your pure national destiny.
It's like chicken ribs.
It's tasteless to eat, but a pity to throw it away.
And other people who get this jade seal don't dare to mess around.
If you dare to gather national destiny and a fifth country appears, you will be beaten.
Even Emperor Xingwu, who pays the most attention to the people and treats the people well, I'm afraid he will fight with the whole country.
The reason is that if another country appears in this world, it will be chaotic.
"Lord Zhou, carrying this jade seal with you is probably a huge trouble. If people know about it."
Zheng Quan whispered: "I'm afraid it will bring unnecessary trouble to myself."
Although the people here are all intimidated by Zhou An's power, no one can guarantee that news will not be spread out.
Once it is spread out, this matter will be troublesome.
Zhou An shook his head and said, "Who do you think will want the jade seal?"
Zheng Quan fell into deep thought.
If it was an era of chaos among hundreds of countries, everyone would want it.
But now, even if it is given to them, they will not want it.
Zhou An smiled and said, "Of course someone wants it. I look forward to them coming to get it."
"But what do other countries think?"
Zheng Quan asked, "After all, the jade seal is in your hands."
The implication is that if Zhou An holds the jade seal, other countries will worry that Zhou An will become emperor.
"You think too much."
Zhou An shook his head and said, "Everyone is smart. To absorb the national destiny, you need to abolish everything first. They all know that I can't abolish everything, because if I abolish it, my enemies will come."
Zheng Quan listened and thought about it.
Then, he understood what Zhou An meant and felt that what he said was right.
But he couldn't figure out why Zhou An kept it.
"Who needs it?" Zheng Quan asked subconsciously.
Zhou An patted Zheng Quan on the shoulder and smiled, "Of course someone needs it, you don't have to worry about it."
He had another sentence that he didn't say.
That is, fishing, which he is very good at.
As for who to fish, it depends on their performance.
"These guys have not shown up all the time, and they are holding it back for me, so I'll just come and kill them."
Zhou An thought to himself.
Then, he looked at Zheng Quan and waved his hand, saying, "Let's go."
Everyone didn't think about it anymore, and quickly followed Zhou An and left this place.
The news of the jade seal was spreading through this small county.
... Ashes floated away in the waving sleeves.
Outside the door, a middle-aged monk came in, holding a huge string of Buddhist beads.
Looking closely, the beads on the Buddhist beads turned out to be pale skulls.
"Buddha, the incense has been burned. Today, the blood of 18 young and strong people is used to wash it first, then burn incense. The screams of the people have been absorbed."
The old monk stood up tremblingly, looked at the human head Buddhist beads, and hung them around his neck, with a compassionate look on his face: "Alas, it is against the harmony of heaven, it is against the harmony of heaven."
Although he said this, he naturally hung the Buddhist beads on his chest.
The middle-aged monk trembled slightly and said: "Buddha, something big has happened."
The Buddha frowned and said: "What's the matter?"
"The jade seal of the Great Domain Dynasty has appeared."
As soon as these words came out, the small room fell into silence, and it became audible.
The middle-aged monk did not dare to speak, as if waiting for the Buddha to speak.
"Why are you silent?" The Buddha glanced at him coldly, and the old breath disappeared in an instant, leaving only pressure.
The middle-aged monk was sweating: "Disciple dare not say..."
"Speak!" The Buddha shouted coldly.
The middle-aged monk quickly knelt on the ground, trembling all over: "It was Zhou An, it was Zhou An who got the jade seal..."
Then, the middle-aged monk told the whole story.
After that, he did not dare to get up, just kneeling on the ground motionless.
The Buddha touched the skull beads on his neck with his hand, and said slowly: "This matter needs to be considered in the long run. It is the key to whether the wild Buddhist sect can be successfully established. You call all the senior officials here, I have something to say."
The middle-aged monk finally let out a long breath when he heard this. He quickly bowed his hands, got up from the ground, and prepared to leave.
But before he took a few steps, he was immediately called away by the Buddha.
"Wait a minute, I guess the Wild Dao Sect has also heard about this." The Buddha said slowly.
"Now, whether it is the Dao Sect or the Buddhist Sect, the power is huge. If we want to get a chance from the Wild Dao Sect and the Wild Buddhist Sect, we must get the jade seal of the Great Domain Dynasty."
"But the jade seal is in Zhou An's hands, so we need to think about it in the long run. Maybe we can work together."
The middle-aged monk was slightly stunned, and then pondered: "Buddha, if we cooperate with the Wild Dao Sect, the jade seal will have to be divided in half. At that time, wouldn't it be a good opportunity to give it to the other party?"
The Buddha waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, even if this thing is divided into half, it doesn't matter. Everyone is not an opposing enemy. The whole world is divided into two, and it is also good for each to develop separately."
The middle-aged monk nodded when he heard this, and then turned around and left without saying anything.
After the middle-aged monk left, the narrow and dark room fell into silence again.
The Buddha touched the skull Buddhist beads on his neck with his hand, and he was still thinking about the jade seal in his mind.
This is their only chance to turn the tables. The wild Taoist sect and the wild Buddhist sect have been developing for a long time, but they are still wild after all.
So in this world, they will always be suppressed by the authentic Taoist sect and Buddhist sect.
And they have had enough of this kind of life like rats crossing the street, and are also looking for opportunities to break out.
But the world is so complicated, how can it be so easy to crack?
So there is a method that they discussed and planned, and there is only this one.
If they can get the jade seal of the Great Domain Dynasty, use the national fortune in it to establish a special country and develop their own power, that is the key to turning the tables.
Dao Kingdom and Buddhist Kingdom, this is an attempt, never before.
But both the wild Taoist sect and the wild Buddhist sect think that this is possible.
The only flaw is that there is no way to obtain national fortune, and now the jade seal of the Great Domain Dynasty has appeared, even if they use all their resources and painstaking management, they must get the jade seal.
"It's just right to take this opportunity to kill Zhou An, it's simply killing two birds with one stone."
The Buddha put down the skull Buddhist beads in his hand and sneered in his heart.
...
Zhou Anwan naturally didn't know what happened here.
At this moment, he had left the border of the Great Yue Kingdom and successfully arrived at the Great Qi Kingdom.
This is the last stop in the hunting activity.
As long as the weirdness of the Great Qi Kingdom is cleared, Zhou An can set off and return to the Great Chu Kingdom.
And this stop, in Zhou An's opinion, may not be so simple.
Apart from anything else, the current situation is becoming more and more tense.
Especially Zhou An himself knows that the Great Chu and Great Yue are preparing to deal with the Great Qi.
This God's perspective makes Zhou An feel that the situation is more changeable.
Moreover, his identity is not enough in the Great Qi, so Zhou An feels that after this set, the Great Qi may give him a particularly big surprise.
In the border county closest to the border, Zheng Quan and others left one after another and went to the surrounding area to clean up the weirdness.
Zhou An is still the same as usual, while using black jade to improve his proficiency in Bagua arithmetic, while constantly strolling in the border county of the Great Qi to appreciate the different customs.
But as Zhou An strolled around, he found that there was a huge gap between the people of the Great Qi and the other two countries.
This gap is visible to the naked eye.
Whether it is the clothes or the demeanor of the people, including their various actions, and the things they put on the stalls, it can be seen that the people of Da Qi are living in distress.
In theory, this is impossible, because the foundation of Da Qi is much stronger than that of Da Chu and Da Yue.
The foundation is so strong, but the people's lives are so difficult.
After seeing this scene, Zhou An already had an idea in his mind.
"It seems that the strategy of governing the country is different. The emperor of Da Qi seems to value people in the industry more." Zhou An touched his chin and thought to himself.
Some things can be seen from the surface, including some current situations.
Zhou An just glanced and knew the national conditions of Da Qi.
But he didn't care about these things. After all, this is someone else's country. How can he manage how others govern?
Then, Zhou An waited patiently, and while waiting, he was also working on his proficiency.
Zhou An thought that something outrageous would happen in this small county on the border, but he didn't expect that the whole way was very quiet and nothing happened.
Everything was normal until Zheng Quan and his team came back from all directions.
"Nothing happened, so let's continue." Zhou An put his hands behind his back and said lightly.
Zheng Quan nodded, and soon, everyone passed this border county and headed for the next location.
This time, everyone took the official road.
Of course, since they were specifically dealing with hunting ghosts, no matter which country they were from, they gave them the green light.
The result of the green light was that they could travel by flying.
Soon, everyone arrived at another county town by flying.
This county town was similar to the border county, it could only be said to be slightly more prosperous, but the appearance of the people had not changed at all, and they all looked like they were living in distress.
At this time, Zhou An had already understood that some things really needed to be compared.
For example, the lives of the people, as long as they were compared with the Great Yue Kingdom and the Great Chu Kingdom, the gap could be seen.
"Master Zhou, we'll set off now."
Zheng Quan was also a practical man. Before he could rest, he bowed to Zhou An and said.
Zhou An nodded and told them to do whatever they wanted.
Afterwards, this group of masters in the Saint Realm left one after another.
Zhou An was still the same, staying in this small county town.
But this time, the situation was very different.
Ahead was a narrow street.
Zhou An led Hei Yu into the alley.
There was no one in the alley, but Zhou An's chaotic eyes swept and found that a man dressed in ordinary clothes came out at the end.
When the man appeared, he immediately made several gestures to Zhou An, and then lowered his head.
"I meet Master Zhou."
Zhou An nodded: "You should be the nail of the Great Qi State, why are you risking your life to see me now?"
The gestures just now were special gestures from the Great Chu State's Zhengui Division, and only the people in the Zhengui Division could know them.
This gesture is also the secret code for the members of the Zhengui Division who don't know each other to communicate with each other.
As long as the handover is correct, the identity of the other party can be known.
Zhou An felt a little confused. The other party actually risked his life to come here. It seems that he really encountered a big thing.
The member of the Zhengui Division bowed and said, "Sir Zhou, there is an important situation now. The Great Qi Kingdom seems to want to attack you, but I don't know how. Although there will be no big moves on the surface, the dark tricks in the dark will not stop." "Okay, I know." Zhou An nodded and said. He had actually thought about this matter a long time ago, but he didn't expect that things would come so quickly, and it was the Great Qi Kingdom who did it personally. But it doesn't matter, there is still someone behind him. If there is really no other way, he will call his cheap mother-in-law out, and he can evacuate safely. This is the biggest reliance, otherwise he really wouldn't come to this Great Qi Kingdom. The members of the Zhengui Division came here just to inform Zhou An about this matter. After saying that, they left directly. After the members of the Zhengui Division left, this place became empty again. Zhou An walked out along this street, and then looked at a corner. In the corner, a citizen was setting up a stall there, and he seemed very busy, constantly arranging the things on the stall. Zhou An smiled, then walked over and stood in front of the stall.
The people felt a shadow approaching, subconsciously raised their heads, and saw Zhou An, with a flattering smile on their faces.
"Sir, do you want to see something? The things here are famous for their quality and low prices."
As he spoke, he skillfully displayed his goods on the stall.
Zhou An narrowed his eyes slightly, then picked up one of the porcelain bottles from the stall, looked at the people in front of him, and said with a smile: "Your disguise is not in place. You are a commoner, and a commoner from the Great Qi Kingdom. Although you are dressed in the right way and have the frost on your face, you have a pair of clean hands."
The moment the commoner handed over the porcelain bottle, the pair of clean hands was exposed.
The commoner, who was about to take action, immediately became stiff after hearing this.
His reaction was also very fast. In a blink of an eye, he performed a strange body movement and disappeared on the spot.
A gust of wind blew, and the commoner stopped and looked at Zhou An who was blocking the way, with a trace of fear on his face.
"Let me guess your identity. You are not from the Great Qi Kingdom. After all, I just came in, so he can't do anything. Otherwise, it would be too obvious. Then you must be someone else." Zhou An said with a smile: "Zong Xing, Ye Dao Sect, or Ye Fo Sect." "Looking at you like this, it seems that you are here to monitor me. I hate others monitoring me the most, so I can let you die happily or painfully. It depends on your choice." While speaking, Zhou An has been holding Hei Yu's hand, with a calm expression on his face. After Zhou An said this, the commoner suddenly made a move. He put his hand on his chest, bent slightly, and looked respectful. "Qin Meng, the leader of the Qianying Sect of Za Men, greets Lord Zhou and Miss Hei Yu." Zhou An raised his eyebrows when he heard this. This answer was indeed beyond his expectations. He thought this guy was hostile and came to cause trouble or monitor him. He didn't expect that he was a member of the Za Men. "Since he is a member of the Za Men, is he here for the Eight Unique Skills?" Zhou An said lightly. As he said this, a long black knife gradually condensed in his hand.
If Qin Meng's answer was wrong, Zhou An would take off his head.
Qin Meng felt a strong murderous aura, then shuddered, and quickly said: "I came here to protect Miss Heiyu, Lord Zhou, as far as I know, the Great Qi State has joined forces with Zong Xing."
"Very few people know about this matter, only the top leaders of Zong Xing know, so the news is difficult to leak out."
Zhou An frowned slightly, he found the blind spot in this sentence, looked up and down at the man in front of him, and said slowly: "You just said that only the top leaders of Zong Xing know, can I understand this sentence as you are the top leaders of Zong Xing." (End of this chapter)
