After wiping out many evil cultivators of the 'Red Robe Society' in the Reed Plain, Zhang Ke returned to his base early.
With the inspection warrant, Zhang Ke entered the station library to check the information.
In the three years since he came to the Central Region, Zhang Kema has been traveling non-stop to many subordinate vassal states of the Lan Kingdom.
Everyone else thought he was tracking down clues about the 'Red Robe Society'.
In fact, he has been looking for clues about Tushan through the demon-suppressing guard cabinets of many vassal states of the Lan Kingdom.
The vassal states of the Lan Kingdom are bordering the Eastern Region, so since they were transferred from the Lan Kingdom.
So there is a high chance that Tushan would have stayed here before.
But now that the 'Red Robe Society' has been almost wiped out, there is not a single clue about Tushan.
Zhang Ke was a little discouraged and thought about whether to go to the Demon Guard Headquarters in Languo Town to check.
After all, the intelligence information there will be more accurate and comprehensive.
but......
Zhang Ke was a little hesitant. In the three years since he came to Zhongyu, he didn't just do the tracing of Tushan.
Through the collection of various intelligence information, it can be said that no one in the Eastern Region knows the Central Region better than Zhang Ke.
A thousand years ago, in various areas of the Central Territory, for some unknown reason, earthquakes in the earth's veins occurred almost simultaneously.
Later, some people excavated nine large bronze cauldrons from the ground one after another.
With these nine great cauldrons to suppress luck, countries were established in various places.
After that, various new schools such as Confucianism, Legalism, Military Affairs, and Agriculture suddenly sprung up like bamboo shoots after a rain.
The traditional high-level practitioners faded out of the world's sight almost overnight.
At that time, there were actually two big countries in the Central Region, named "Yan" and "Dai". Together with the current seven countries, they were collectively called the Nine Kingdoms.
These two countries are far away from each other in the south and north, and the strength of any country is several times stronger than the strongest country of 'Xia' today.
However, when these two countries were prospering, they suddenly collapsed one day and split into hundreds of small vassal states.
No one knows exactly what happened during that time period, and even historical records only scratch the surface.
Through Zhang Ke's intentional and unintentional investigation, he faintly discovered that there seemed to be an expert plotting the plot.
After the two countries 'Yan' and 'Dai' were destroyed, the bronze cauldron that suppressed the national destiny disappeared.
Without the bronze cauldron to suppress luck, the current Central Territory has never been able to establish an eighth great nation.
Zhang Ke once carefully marked out all the abnormalities.
Luck, emerging schools, national luck exercises, divine weapons of the country, and the current situation of hundreds of schools of thought contending in the Central Region.
This somewhat familiar operation is very similar to Zhang Ke's behavior of spreading faith in the Blue Sky Realm.
At that time, Zhang Ke learned from a series of measures taken by Tao Te Sect in the Azure Realm.
Following this line of thinking, Zhang Ke felt a little creepy.
Could it be that the current situation in the Central Territory is actually the secret planning of the Tao Te Sect?
But the Daode Sect has now split into the 'Tiandao Sect' and the 'Ming De Sect', so what exactly is going on in the middle region?
After thinking about this matter, Zhang Ke made up his mind to get clues about Tu Shan.
Immediately leave the Central Territory, a place of right and wrong.
The reason why I was a little hesitant about going to Yongcheng, the capital of the Lan Kingdom, was because of another reason.
All major countries in the Central Region are protected by their national destiny.
The qi of the mortal world is extremely unfriendly to traditional monks who practice the 'Qi Movement Method'.
Once a realm above the Golden Core realm enters the capital, its strength will be greatly weakened.
But here, the monarch holds the constitution in his mouth and the law comes out of his mouth. In particular, he can mobilize the powerful force of national destiny.
Even the True Lord of Yuanshen will be killed on the spot if he is not careful!
But this powerful power is limited to the capital.
This is also one of the reasons why monarchs in the past dynasties rarely left the capital.
The reason why Emperor Lan was extremely afraid of Zhang Ke was because of his tracking skills, ability to change, and his deep-seated forbearance.
Once he offends this person severely, Emperor Zhonglan may never dare to step out of the palace gate for the rest of his life.
It is a great shame for any king to have a king confined like a prisoner within the palace walls.
It is precisely for this reason that Zhang Ke is in trouble at the moment.
Although he kept his identity secret, he was not too deliberate about it.
Therefore, in the process of hunting down the 'Red Robe Society', some extraordinary things are often revealed.
According to what he thought, Bai Kun might have already doubted him, but it might be that he had not done anything detrimental to the Lan Kingdom.
And because now is the critical moment to hunt down the 'Red Robe Society', there is no showdown with him.
Now that the 'Red Robe Society' is gone, Bai Kun will surely come to visit them soon.
If you enter Yongcheng, the capital of the Lan Kingdom, unprepared, you will really fall into a dragon's pool and a tiger's den.
If you want to leave easily again, I'm afraid it won't be that easy.
It is for this reason that Zhang Ke has always been unwilling to enter the capital of the Lan Kingdom.
In the following time, Zhang Kejing calmed down and looked up the various customs, customs and legends of Gan State word by word.
He didn't believe that Tushan would come to the Central Region for no reason. There must be a reason that he couldn't know.
During these days, one after another practitioners wanted to get acquainted with Zhang Ke, but they were all politely declined by him.
After half a month, he had consulted most of the historical materials in the Jiage library.
On this day, Zhang Ke's operation was over, and he came to Jiage Library again to check the information.
I found that some people dressed as demon-suppressing guards were transporting various bamboo slips and volumes inside.
I found out after stopping someone to ask.
Every three years, the Ganguo Town Demon Guard's stations will transport some folk rumors and miscellaneous stories collected to the Ganguo Town Demon Guard headquarters for storage.
In the past few days, it has been the time for volumes to be put into storage.
Zhang Ke was suddenly enlightened and didn't pay much attention to it. He went directly into the Jia Ge Library to continue searching for clues about Tushan.
More than ten days passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, Zhang Ke held a volume in his hand and read it page by page.
When he casually turned the page again, a few sentences recorded in the book immediately made him sit upright.
‘In the 7715th year of the Yuan calendar, a prominent family in Linghe was slaughtered, and Zhenjun Wuliang of his family accidentally obtained the ‘Nine Nether Scattering Soul Wind’ seeds from outside the territory.
Unexpectedly, his son Youshan wanted to find a way to attract crops, so he killed his brother Youfeng and fled.
How sad it is to make one brother fight against another for the sake of profit! What a shame! What a shame!’
Looking at the records in the volume, Zhang Ke couldn't help but say "Huh".
Shentu has mountains???
Tushan?
Is there any connection between the two?
Zhang Ke thought and continued to search in the volumes, but found nothing new.
This volume was merely recorded by some people in the past through hearsay.
Its original intention is to warn the world not to make the same mistake again.
A quick calculation with my fingers revealed that the year 7715 should be more than 1,600 years ago.
Zhang Ke quickly recalled some of Tu Shan's experiences in the Eastern Region.
After the Tushan incident, Xiantian Yiqi Sect collected some clues about Tushan.
It was found that its earliest appearance in the Eastern Region was 1,400 years ago.
His life experience could not be found in the Eastern Region, it was like he appeared out of nowhere.
According to time calculation, this Shentu Youshan is most likely the same person as Tushan.
After all, Tu Shan is the only expert who is good at using the Nine Nether Scattering Soul Wind from the Eastern Region to the Central Region.
Zhang Ke thoughtfully:
Pseudonym, cross-domain, how similar this is to myself at this moment.
Shentu...there are mountains???
Haha! Tushan, I finally found you!
It would be much easier to search if it was targeted, but Zhang Ke was surprised again when he checked.
The current commander of the Demon Guards in Lan Kingdom, Shen Tu Xiangzhi, is actually from the same clan as Shen Tu Youshan.
In an instant, Zhang Ke felt extremely vigilant in his heart.
He had asked many people about Tu Shan's clues, including the 'Red Robe Society', the Demon Suppressing Guards, and even some friends he knew.
Given the importance the Demon Guards attach to intelligence information, they are afraid that the information about their search for Tushan will be leaked.
Finally, I took a look at the location of the ancestral home of the Shentu family.
Xihe Tiger Hill!
Zhang Ke did not hesitate any longer and made a decisive decision and quickly left the cabinet library.
He didn't come into contact with anyone outside, so he turned into a bird and flew away.
When they arrived in a no-man's land, they gathered all the belongings related to the Demon-Suppressing Guards on their bodies and burned them all with a fire.
Then he ran directly towards Xihe Huqiu.
...
Two days later.
Shentu Xiangzhi came to the Demon Guard Station in Ganguo Town.
Accompanied by the local governor Pei Yizhi, he entered the Jiageku.
Through the information stored in the library, Shentu Xiangzhi found every volume that Zhang Ke had searched for.
After checking it carefully, he waved Pei Yizhi to leave.
And he took out a snail and activated it with magic power to contact Emperor Lan in Yongcheng, Kyoto.
"How's it going? How's it going?"
As soon as it was connected, Lan Huang's slightly impatient voice came from the screw port.
Shentu Xiangzhi smiled bitterly to himself.
"This Zhang Ke really shouldn't be underestimated. I wanted to hint at Tushan's background in my words.
Unexpectedly, he found the clues about Tushan accurately in the vast amount of information."
"Oh? There is such a thing? Then...does this have any impact on our plan?"
Shentu Xiangzhi smiled slightly and said:
"This is a good thing! In this way, he will not have any doubts about this matter."
"Well! Well, it will be a long night and a lot of dreams. This matter needs to be completed quickly.
If Zhang Ke finds Tushan and leaves early, it will be difficult to find an opportunity to deal with him."
Shentu Xiangzhi said "hmm" to show that he understood. After thinking for a moment, he turned around and left the Jiageku.
