Without a heroic spirit, I can only end it myself.

Jiang He has settled in the imperial capital for twenty years. In addition to practicing and making money, he often visits teahouses, restaurants, goulan and other places.

It’s not just for drinking and listening to music to inspire painting.

The point is that these places are usually relatively well-informed, with people from all three religions and nine streams mixed in, making it easy to hear about the general trend of the world and gain an in-depth understanding of world rumors.

For example, he took advantage of an opportunity to listen to a book in a teahouse and learned the true identity of the fox demon at the beginning of this week's episode.

【Jade Fragrance White Fox】

It is said that the daughter of the prince of Yunzhou, called Princess Xueyun, was born with a strange fragrance that spreads for ten miles, attracting thousands of butterflies to fly together, and even white foxes came out of Xueyun Mountain to accompany her as she grew up.

This is the Jade-Fragrant White Fox, which was born by absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. It is called a spiritual beast, not a monster.

It has a similar foundation to some of the dragon, tiger and beast gods enshrined by the imperial court.

Twenty years ago, the prince of Yunzhou offended Shengyan in the capital and was dragged to beheaded.

The family members of Prince Yun and Princess Xueyun were also implicated and killed by officers and soldiers.

Only the jade-scented white fox was seriously injured and escaped, and when it was about to die, it landed in a painter's home in Qinghe Town, Kunzhou...

Regarding the opening plot, Jiang He listened for a moment longer.

Now, standing on the edge of the Dazhou desert, he heard the "fairy" characteristics described by these desert scavengers, and immediately thought of the fox demon.

No one has settled in this inaccessible desert for a long time, not even a few monsters.

Only these desert scavengers who risk their lives to enter the desert in search of relics from the previous dynasty will haunt this place.

This kind of place where birds don't poop, suddenly appears a fairy who is capable of saving people, and she also has a fragrance that can't be covered up by a sandstorm...

Apart from the jade-scented white fox being hunted by the court, it is difficult to have other possibilities.

"No wonder the fox demon has not been captured by officers and soldiers for twenty years."

"The desert in Dazhou is boundless, and it is even more vast when including several other states that are on the verge of destruction."

"If you want to capture a fox demon with a high level of cultivation, you will undoubtedly be looking for a needle in a haystack. At the slightest sign of trouble, it will immediately run away..."

Jiang He shook his head slightly.

This fox demon was obviously being hunted, but he still wanted to rescue these desert scavengers. I don't know if he was too kind or a little stupid.

When these desert scavengers leave, spread the word about the desert fairy.

If Jiang He can think of it, others can naturally think of it too.

"However, twenty years have passed, and the imperial court may not still care about a little fox demon."

Jiang He only regarded it as an anecdote and quickly forgot about it.

He asked these desert scavengers if they had ever seen some evil caves or evil things deep in the Dazhou desert.

This was the focus of his conversation.

But got a negative answer.

A desert is a desert, and apart from some ancient ruins buried under the yellow sand, there are no evil caves.

The only danger comes from bad weather, and there is no real enemy.

So they, these desert scavengers, are obviously just warriors with low strength, but they dare to set foot in this restricted area of ​​life and dig for treasures.

Jiang He was slightly disappointed, but he did not give up.

After saying goodbye to the desert scavengers, we walked into the desert on rolling yellow sand.

This journey lasted three full years.

…

Because the desert is a restricted area for life, there are only billowing yellow sand and ruins.

In addition, although the Tao of Immortality can extend lifespan, it has no ability to prevent grains.

Jiang He still had to eat and drink water to maintain his condition. For this reason, he had to often leave the desert and go to nearby states to seek supplies.

This greatly slowed down the investigation.

even so.

It took Jiang He a full three years to measure this desert with his feet, visiting every corner and walking through every ruined ancient city.

Finally, a conclusion is drawn.

"There's really no demonic energy."

Jiang He frowned slightly as he digested the boring memories of the past three years.

He traveled through most places in Dazhou and even found the location of Dazhou's former territory.

But I didn't see the familiar demonic energy, magic pool, magic chain and other things like Anchor Point No. 2.

According to his analysis.

Although the Dazhou land line was indeed broken, and as a result, Dazhou lost all its vitality and became what it is now.

The reason is not that the demonic energy corrodes the earth spirit, which gradually collapses from the inside out.

It's more like using incomparable surging power to forcefully break the earth's veins from the outside to the inside, leaving indelible scars on the land.

In the end, it was reduced to what it is now.

"This method is too ruthless. Even if I am in Anchor Point No. 2 and have completely absorbed all the demons in the world. In my heyday, if I want to completely break a ground line, it will take a lot of effort..."

Jiang He read through the history before the Meng Dynasty again——

The generation of dynasties before the Meng Dynasty was similar to the Southern and Northern Dynasties on Earth.

It has been in a state of division throughout the whole process, and has almost never experienced real peace and prosperity. It has always been in troubled times, and it has been fighting for more than three thousand years.

Just look at the Historical Society records.

In the troubled times that lasted for more than three thousand years, all the people were practicing martial arts, but they accidentally overshot and brought down the whole world...

It doesn't seem like anything strange.

The current situation in Dazhou is relatively consistent.

"Could it be said that it was the previous dynasty that was really invaded by evil spirits?"

"Although they fought for three thousand years and destroyed most of the Taixuan world, they also completely destroyed the evil spirits, causing the Meng Dynasty to enter a period of relative peace..."

"It wasn't until the end of the Rong Dynasty that new source demons appeared."

Jiang He fell into deep thought.

According to this guess.

The Meng Dynasty inherited the legacy of the previous dynasty and enjoyed nearly four thousand years of peace and prosperity. It was not until the collapse of the last Emperor Meng that the Rong Dynasty emerged...

Perhaps the current Meng Dynasty is indeed a safe and prosperous era.

"But not necessarily."

"During the Meng Dynasty, eight states collapsed, and I have just passed through one Dazhou."

"To be cautious, we should wait until at least we have visited eight states before we can draw preliminary conclusions."

In Anchor Point No. 2, Jiang He fought hard for four weeks in order to deal with the source demon.

Now that I suddenly returned to the peaceful and prosperous times, I felt a little uncomfortable and felt like post-war traumatic syndrome.

I always feel that this peace comes too easily, and there must be some conspiracy lurking.

Even if I saw the situation in Dazhou with my own eyes, I couldn't feel relieved.

Instead, he was preparing to set off to the next state: Mingzhou.

Ega even made some calculations.

According to the progress rate of one state in three years, it would only take twenty-four years to cover eight states.

Actually it's not bad.

If there is really peace and prosperity.

With Jiang He's attainments in the Taoist Sutra of Immortality, he can live for at least four to five hundred years.

Let alone twenty-four years.

Even if it takes 240 years to explore the map and travel to 80 states.

As long as Meng Chao's situation can be completely confirmed, there is no loss at all!

Oh, the Meng Dynasty only had thirty-seven states.

That's okay.

With the idea of ​​​​traveling around the world, Jiang He left Dazhou and came to Mingzhou.

The situation in Mingzhou is slightly better than that in Dazhou. Although it is also an uninhabited life restricted area, the desertification of the land is not that serious, and it can be regarded as a semi-Gobi state.

When Jiang He investigated, he saved a lot of time.

According to this process, it may not take twenty-four years to visit the eight ruined states of the Meng Dynasty.

Just as Jiang He was busy exploring the map.

The same text on the right side of the page quietly changed.

[When you come to Mingzhou, you want to get to the bottom of it and check all the eight states. 】

[One year goes by in a blink of an eye. 】

[In the year 1361 of the Meng calendar, it was the fourteenth day of the apricot month. 】

[You were walking in the Gobi Desert of Mingzhou, and suddenly you noticed something strange, and followed the sound. 】

[But I saw several imperial warriors returning from the depths of the Gobi, carrying an iron cage. 】

[In the iron cage, a white fox lies unconscious. Its snow-white fur is stained with blood and dust, but there is still a strange fragrance. 】

[You can tell at a glance that this is a jade-scented white fox. 】

[You recall that the white fox appeared in the Dazhou desert and rescued a group of strangers from the desert. 】

[Looking at the imperial warriors from afar, you hesitate in your heart...]

[A: Turn around and leave, B: Wait and see what happens, C: Help, D: Intervene personally. 】

Is it that fox demon?

Jiang He was a little surprised.

He spent three years measuring the Dazhou desert with his feet and walked almost every place, but he did not see the fox demon.

It seems that she escaped to Mingzhou after rescuing those desert scavengers.

Not too silly.

However, the fox demon's good luck has obviously come to an end.

Even if he escaped to Mingzhou, he was eventually found by the imperial warriors, severely injured, and became a prisoner in a cage. He didn't know where to take him.

Jiang He looked at this scene.

After a moment of hesitation, he made his decision.

【Help】

If it were just a monster, or even a spiritual beast, Jiang Hezhen would turn a blind eye.

It’s not like he’s never eaten meat, nor is he averse to killing animals.

He will hunt when he is hungry, and he will kill when he is angry.

Not much to say.

but……

This fox demon had previously taken the initiative in Dazhou and saved some strange desert scavengers.

To her, it might just be a random act of kindness.

For Jiang He, this was the reason to take action.

"One yard owned by a yard."

"You saved people's lives once, so I'll save yours once too."

"What's more, isn't this guy Meng Di too narrow-minded?"

"If someone provokes him, he will kill the entire family and not even let go of his pet. He even sent people to hunt him down for more than twenty years..."

Such a level of pettiness.

Even Jiang He was impressed.

[You remembered the good deeds of the white fox in the past, so you came to help. 】

[The masters of the imperial court cannot resist your power and fall flat on their faces. 】

[Because the masters of the imperial court were only following orders, you did not take their lives, but only asked them to convey the message to Emperor Meng. 】

[The people who angered Long Yan in the past have long since passed away. Now there is only one white fox left, why bother to kill them all. 】

[You want to save the white fox's life. If Emperor Meng stops, we may have a chance meeting many years later. 】

[After saying that, he took the white fox and left. 】

I’ll add 4,000 words today and continue tomorrow!
