Chapter 36: Blessed Land, Cave Heaven!
County school.
"This matter... is probably of great importance ."
Wang Hezhi put away the letter with a serious expression.
"What do you mean, Master?"
Xu Chong's heart moved and he asked.
He had just briefly explained the changes that had happened to Zhang Huafu and Canglang.
It was originally just a notification, but who knew Wang Hezhi seemed to know something.
"I have been teaching for half my life and have seen too many people and too many things."
Wang Hezhi raised his hand and motioned Xu Chong to sit down. "This incident reminds me of more than 20 years ago."
"More than twenty years ago?"
Xu Chong paused as he sat down and asked in surprise, "Did something like this happen 20 years ago?"
"Well, about twenty-two or twenty-three years ago."
Wang Hezhi nodded, revealing a look of reminiscence, "At that time, I worked at Dingtian Prefecture School, so I knew more."
Dingtianfu?
Xu Chong was horrified. He never expected Wang Hezhi had such a past.
The capital of Daqing is Dingtian Prefecture, and Dingtian Prefecture School is the official school in Daqing second only to the Imperial College.
Being at the feet of the emperor, one's knowledge and experience will of course be broader.
"Well... since you have made such a contribution, there are things I should tell you."
Wang Hezhi stroked his white beard and said, "Any government office in the imperial court can bless martial arts practice. The higher the level of the government office, the greater the degree of blessing."
Xu Chong already knew this, but he still looked surprised.
"Like the Canglong County Yamen, it is the lowest class, a low-grade spiritual place, which has little effect on cultivation."
"The government office is a middle-grade spiritual place, and the provincial office is a high-grade spiritual place."
"There's nothing much to say about these. They only have the effect of enhancing cultivation."
"And the next level up is called the blessed land. In addition to blessing cultivation, each has its own unique law."
At this point, a trace of regret appeared on Wang Hezhi's face. "For example, the Imperial College I know has a rule of restraining one's mind. When one is in it, one's mind will be restrained automatically and will not be scattered and uncertain, which is very beneficial to one's study."
“…”
Xu Chong was silent for a moment and asked, "Can I remember this?"
“This is not a secret.”
Wang Hezhi knew what Xu Chong was worried about, so he waved his hand and said, "The court does not allow the spread of rumors indiscriminately in order to allow local officials to perform their duties and not be too ambitious. I am relieved by your words."
" I see ……"
Xu Chong nodded.
No wonder she didn’t say it clearly when she first met Sun Yourong. She must have been afraid that she would lose her original intention.
"Above the blessed land is the cave heaven."
Wang Hezhi's expression became solemn again, "I guess the so-called secret of Canglong should be a fragment of a cave heaven!"
"Hole? Fragments?"
Xu Chong was confused and couldn't understand.
According to the terms spiritual place and blessed land, Dongtian should also refer to an area.
Fragments...
Construction waste from demolition ?
"Dongtian has a characteristic that a spiritual land and blessed land do not have."
Wang Hezhi saw Xu Chong's doubts and said with a laugh: "Mr. Sumeru is hidden in a mustard seed."
Xu Chong: “…”
His heart was churning for a while before he gradually calmed down.
If even something like the obstruction of knowledge and perception can exist, then the possibility of a mustard seed hidden in Mount Sumeru is not difficult to understand.
"Your character really didn't disappoint me."
Wang Hezhi looked at Xu Chong with appreciation, "In short, the cave may be a leaf, a door, or a chair. It has no fixed shape."
"More than 20 years ago, the imperial court surrounded and suppressed the leader of the Taiping Dao and shattered the Taiping Dao's cave heaven."
"I know this because the cave exploded and turned into a rain of stars that fell in all directions."
"Now it seems that it is very likely that one of the pieces fell into Canglong."
Wang Hezhi clicked his tongue twice, "And it's a relatively important piece, otherwise the imperial court and the Taiping Dao wouldn't have paid so much attention to it."
"Since the goal is clear, why hasn't Taiping Dao found it after more than ten years of searching?" Xu Chong asked puzzledly.
“Who said the goal is clear?”
Wang Hezhi smiled. "So many fragments of the cave are scattered everywhere at an incredibly fast speed. Who knows what they are attached to?"
"Is that so..."
Xu Chong let out a long breath.
It was not until this moment that he felt that he was one step closer to the essence of the world.
"Well, the older you get, the more you talk. This matter has nothing to do with us, so let's talk about serious matters."
Wang Hezhi stroked his beard and said, "After I take the seal tomorrow, you can come to me to exchange the skills. Do you have any ideas?"
"Uh... no."
Xu Chong shook his head bluntly, "I still only have a vague understanding of contribution and exchange."
"Is that so? Then I will consider it for you."
Wang Hezhi thought for a moment and suggested, "You go back first, and we will discuss this at the county government tomorrow."
"The student thanks you, Master."
Xu Chong bowed as a disciple, then said goodbye and left.
…
…
After several months, the Third Master's study was opened again.
I don’t know when this habit was formed, but whenever he encountered something, he would come to the study and sit down.
This time is no exception.
"Cave fragments..."
Xu Chong held his chin with one hand and tapped the table with the other.
Originally, he really had no intention of doing anything this time.
But Wang Hezhi's words made his greed emerge uncontrollably.
Even a low-grade spiritual place like the county government office can allow the golden finger to generate spiritual energy, so what about the fragments of the cave?
The cave is so much higher than the county government in terms of grades, even if it is just a fragment, it must have similar functions.
If we can take it back, won't we no longer be confined to the government office?
"There's not much hope. Let's just take it one step at a time."
Xu Chong sighed.
After learning so much information, many details can be deduced.
For example, Fu Yuanlong’s reliance is definitely not just these hundred Blood-Clothed Guards.
Don't forget that Shuigui himself is the leader of the anti-bandits in the Zhanghuafu area.
Other rebels can't get in, so he must be here.
As early as four years ago, the water ghost was already at the fifth level of Tongmai. It is difficult to guess what level he is at now.
With Fu Yuanlong's personality, he would never take risks easily. He dared to lead the team here, which must be because he was sure that he could eat the dead water ghost.
There are at least two aspects.
First of all, the overall strength is at least enough to fight against the Submariner.
A team of just a hundred people plus Fu Yuanlong is definitely not enough.
If nothing unexpected happens, he should have brought some magical weapon that can threaten the Tongmai warriors.
I just don’t know what realm the water ghost is in now according to Fu Yuanlong’s calculations.
The other is monitoring methods, which must be able to accurately grasp the movements of water ghosts.
If any of these two points were missing , Fu Yuanlong would not be so confident.
"But... he seems to have really given up hope on the fragments?"
Xu Chong recalled Fu Yuanlong's tone and expression when he spoke.
It can be ruled out as a show.
In Fu Yuanlong's eyes, he was just an ordinary person with some brains and there was no need for him to put on a show.
"So... even the imperial court doesn't have any specific information about this cave fragment?"
