Chapter 2294 Long Journey
In ancient times, the Dragon Emperor Xi Hun had nine sons.

The eldest son was named Qiuniu. He was kind and benevolent, had good conduct, enjoyed making rituals, and assisted in governing the Longting.

The second son, Ya Zi, was bloodthirsty and aggressive. He often carried a knife and walked around in the wild, and was happy when he heard about war.

The third son Chaofeng is good at taking risks and looking out for opportunities. He has superb body movements and is the best in eyesight.

The fourth son, Pulao, loves to make noise. He is good at controlling the sounds of the world and is also proficient in the art of controlling names and situations.

The fifth son Suanni liked peace and quiet and enjoyed fireworks. He compiled scriptures and annotated history, and made great achievements in faith.

The sixth son, Ba Xia, likes to carry heavy loads and has great strength.

The seventh son Bi'an was fond of litigation, public-spirited and righteous, and he once discussed Taoism with Han Gui.

Bazi Fuxi was fond of literature and also debated with Kong Ke on classics.

The nine-child Chiwen loves to swallow things, and its huge mouth can accommodate everything.

While Jiang Wang was reading "Nine Towns Leisure Talk" and exploring the Nine Towns Stone Bridge one by one, he was also collecting information about the Nine Sons of the Dragon Emperor. This was to better understand the Nine Towns of Changhe, broaden his horizons, and improve the level of sealing techniques.

Duke Huai of Chu, Marquis Bowang of Qi, and member of Taixu Pavilion Zhong Xuanyin all contributed to the relevant historical truths.

In short, it was only after various historical materials were gathered together, repeatedly verified and analyzed, that the corresponding outline of the dragon son was drawn.

But in the process of getting to know the nine sons of the Dragon Emperor, Jiang Wang increasingly felt how difficult the war was when the Human Emperor chased the Dragon Emperor!

The nine sons of the Dragon Emperor, each one is extraordinary.

If the Suanni, who loved fireworks and swallowed up faith, had not died, the one who later opened up the mythological era might not have been Feng Hou, who had attained the second level of transcendence.

Baxia once wanted to "lift the sky", and Pulao once plucked the Guangwen bell.

Bi'an had fought against the Legalist orthodoxy, and Fuxi had shaken the foundations of Confucianism.

It is not difficult to find out from the paths of the nine sons of the Dragon Emperor that compared with the inheritance of the human race, the dragon race has made no less progress in the layout of the future era.

The war between humans and dragons between Lieshan and Xihun cannot be narrowly defined as the so-called "demolition of bridges after crossing the river" or "betrayal of the Human Emperor". Rather, it was a war between humans and dragons for the dominant power in the world. It was a war that had to be fought after contradictions accumulated to a certain extent and fundamental interests had become irreconcilable!
If it was the human race that was defeated in the past, then the glorious eras that followed would still exist on the side of the dragon race.

Mythology, Confucianism, Legalism, Buddhism... the dragon clan all have their own ways. As for the story of Baxia holding up the sky, Jiang Wang cannot just listen to it as a story. It may very well be the way of Baxia's "celestial dragon", just like his current "celestial being".

After overthrowing the ancient heaven, wiping out hundreds of races, and ending the demonic tide, the present world in the Middle Ages ushered in the last war to establish the dominance of the myriad worlds. Both the human race and the dragon race are making plans to dominate the heavens and myriad worlds, but only one side can laugh to the end.

The Lieshan clan killed the nine sons of the Dragon Emperor, perhaps they were actually killing the nine futures of the dragon clan!
After understanding this, looking at the Nine Towns of Changhe, you will feel suddenly enlightened.

Also, simply sealing off nine Taoist bodies, no matter how powerful and perfect they are, how can it carry such great significance?

The more you understand the Nine Sons of the Dragon King, the more you can comprehend the mysteries of the Nine Towns. The more you grasp the mysteries of the Nine Towns, the more you know the extraordinary nature of the Nine Sons of the Dragon King.

Although the Heavenly Dao was strangling his throat and time was pressing, Jiang Wang still gave the Nine Towns of Changhe a full month.

He was exploring the decryption of the nine town seals of the Lieshan Human Emperor, and was also exploring the path of the Dragon Emperor's nine sons. For the past month, he had been fighting a war between humans and dragons in the depths of his sea of ​​consciousness.

This is not just a description of a state of mind, but a real simulation in the subconscious mind.

His subconscious sea was once boundless and infinitely free. As far as the eye could see, it seemed to reach the sky.

Now his subconscious sea is truly "reaching the sky".

The Heavenly Dao had already done more than just "knocking on the door", it had already broken in, grabbed Jiang Wang, who was lying on the bed dreaming of becoming a free man, and hung him up by the neck, then dragged him out.

Not only must we engulf this stubborn main consciousness and erase all emotions, but we must also assimilate its ways and engulf the deep ocean of the subconscious.

This vast sea of ​​subconsciousness has long been calm. The raging waves have been tamed.

The sea water, which was once unfathomable, now looked extremely clear, like a piece of transparent blue glass, with almost no impurities. The way of heaven was so pure that it shone on the sea, and the thoughts of the master of the mind were also revealed as "mixed thoughts"...

Occasionally, emotions arise, but they are all swallowed up by decomposition.

But from a certain moment on, this ocean changed. In the "purity", nine kinds of stubborn "impurities" that could not be assimilated were born. They were small at first, gradually became majestic, and finally transformed into nine magnificent Taoist bodies with their own shapes.

Some are like lions, some are like tigers, some are like turtles carrying monuments, and some are like coiled dragons... all of them contain the Tao in their shapes, and are huge and full of spirit. They float and swim in the boundless sea of ​​subconsciousness.

The Taoist body of the ninth son of the Dragon Emperor manifested here, breaking through some mysterious "rules" and sometimes turning into a stone bridge.

Nine ancient stone bridges stand side by side across the sea. The sea is boundless, and so are the bridges. The sea seems to connect to the sky, and the bridges seem to cut off the junction of the sea and the sky!
In this sea of ​​subconsciousness, the stone bridge and the dragon body are constantly changing, fighting and conflicting with each other, but they are the same, not accepting "purity" and not being disciplined by the way of heaven.

Therefore, these billions of hectares of still water sometimes also have waves.

The waves in the sea of ​​the heart are the traces of life.

The nine towns of Changhe have been there for hundreds of thousands of years, and the Emperor of Lieshan has never spared his great glory. However, throughout the ages, there are only a handful of people who have been able to "really gain" from these nine stone bridges.

On the one hand, Jiang Wang has some connections with the top figures in the world and is qualified to know the truth of history and be able to explore the true path of the nine sons of the Dragon Emperor. On the other hand, he gets help from Ao Shuyi, the Dragon King of Changhe, and gains the experience of the Human Emperor of Lieshan in setting up the nine towns.

This kind of power of heaven and earth is truly the union of man and dragon, standing in the present time and looking into the past and the future.

With each day that passes, he has a new understanding of the world and a different understanding of the way of heaven.

At Qiuniu Bridge, he presided over the Hall of Righteous Voice, listened to the sound of wind and waves, experienced the sounds of nature, and felt the dragon clan's rituals and Qiuniu music.

On the Yazi Bridge, he fought with a sword in hand, developing a variety of killing skills, killing from one end of the bridge to the other.

At Chaofeng Bridge, he leapt thousands of miles, his thoughts repeated in an instant, and engraved every detail of this ancient stone bridge with his eyes.

At the Pulao Bridge, he let out a long roar, releasing the Three Treasures Thunder Sound Dharma, and made the sound surge, washing the entire stone bridge, in pursuit of the legendary Pulao Sound.

On the Suanni Bridge, he released various divine seals, just as he had done in the demon world, sculpting the "ancient gods" and condensing the "various deities".

At Baxia Bridge, the demon ape beat his chest and roared, exerting tremendous force and almost trying to pull the bridge away.

At the Bi'an Bridge, he also summoned the Legalist chains he had learned before, and went through wind and rain... reading "You Xie".

At Fuxi Bridge, he read books and history, and sang while walking. "Shi Dao Zao Hai", "Bodhi Zuo Dao Jing", "Jing Xu Xiang Er Ji"... the beautiful chapters of the world, every word is pleasing to the ear. The truth of the world, every word is convincing to the heart.

At the Chiwen Bridge, there is also a fairy dragon stepping on the mist, swallowing up all the light of the sun and the moon.

Time just passes day by day.

As summer entered its second month, the sun was no longer gentle. Jiang Wang put away his immortal dragon image and walked down the Chiwen Bridge.

At this moment, he was still wearing a green shirt and a sword, smiling, just like when he first arrived at Qiuniu Bridge a month ago. But he had a different temperament from before, and in his peace and tranquility, there was an ancient sense of tranquility.

Like a piece of bluestone standing silently at the end of the bridge.

As the saying goes, "Time can never wear you down."

He became increasingly powerful, but inevitably... he became increasingly indifferent.

"Hey! Isn't this Master Jiang?!"

As soon as they entered the territory of Qi, they were greeted by a convoy. In the luxurious carriage at the front of the convoy, the Marquis Bowang of Qi opened all four walls of the carriage, allowing his huge body to be fully exposed to the outside, allowing the air to flow in and the scenery to be seen.

There was a smile on his face, which was squeezed into the wrinkles of his face: "It's been so long since we last met, is Master Jiang still just a real person?"

It has been several years since Jiang Wang last came to Qi. At that time, he was already a real person, and he came to find "freedom". Now he returns to Qi again, still a real person, and he comes to find "self".

And the fat Chongxuan in front of him was actually Guandao Zhenren!

I hadn't mentioned it in the previous letters, just to let my aura out at this moment of meeting and give my best friend a little shock.

If we ignore the step where the great power returns to us on its own, the official road is indeed the fastest way to practice.

The hereditary throne of a powerful country is indeed a good fuel for a raging fire.

Letting this guy take the official road is like asking a fish to learn how to swim or a bird to learn how to fly. It is an innate ability.

Jiang Wang admired him in his heart and was happy for him, but he said, "Oh, isn't this Marquis Bowang? I haven't seen you for so long, you have lost a lot of weight!"

"Alas, isn't it because I'm worried about you? My heart——" Zhong Xuansheng's huge figure stood up, and he turned from a fat mountain into a standing meat mountain. With one hand holding the fat jade belt, he waved to Jiang Wang with the other hand, asking him to get in the car, and said shamelessly: "I will never regret even if my belt becomes loose, I have become haggard for you!"

This jade belt is indeed large, and it is priceless by pound. But on his waist, it is not "wide" at all, and it even looks tight!

Jiang Wang stepped into the car, took Zhong Xuansheng's fat hand, weighed him briefly, and said with a smile: "You look so haggard that you only weigh more than 30 pounds!"

"Originally it weighed more than 60 kilograms, but I lost 30 kilograms to help you collect these!" Zhong Xuansheng turned around and waved his hand: "These are all secret records related to the Old Yang Sealing Technique, which contain many unique insights of the Grandmasters and some classic discussions from past dynasties... I searched the Eastern Region and loaded these ten carts. If you still have a conscience, you will know how worried I am!"

"Even the feelings are gone, let alone conscience?" Jiang Wang raised his finger and poked the sky: "If you want to blame someone, blame this thief God!"

"Ah, bah! Children should not be restrained in their words!" Zhong Xuansheng slapped his finger down and complained, "It's still under his control! Be nicer. Maybe he will let you go."

Jiang Wang shrugged his shoulders, casually picked up a secret book from the back carriage, sat down beside Zhong Xuansheng, and slowly flipped through it. While reading, he said casually: "You really eat a lot and swallow a lot. Not only do you gain weight in winter and summer, but even your carriage is more luxurious than before!"

The four walls of the carriage slowly closed, but the interior of the carriage was not dark.

This is indeed the most luxurious carriage in Qi State, and every detail is perfect. There is a special formation to block the wind and rain and isolate prying eyes, but it does not affect the sunlight or block the view from inside to outside. The temperature inside the carriage is just right, and there is no bump. The seat is very soft, like the embrace of a beautiful woman.

Chong Xuansheng leaned back comfortably: "I am already a married man, I have to work harder, earn more money, and let my wife live a good life - how far have you progressed with this seal?"

"Still studying." Jiang Wang quickly flipped through a book, memorized the contents in his mind, closed his eyes, chewed on it for a while, and then called for the second book to continue reading. He said, "Not many people know about my affairs, right?"

"I don't do things that will cause a sensation in the city." Zhong Xuansheng waved his hand: "But everyone who should know must have known it. For no reason, I suddenly searched the world for the inheritance of the old Yang Sealing Technique. It can't be hidden from those who are interested. As for these ten carts of secret records, many of them were directly pulled out from the national treasury - you just need to know it in your heart, and you don't need to waste time to visit. Whether it is human or not is a matter for the future. The premise of human feelings... you must still be a human being?"

Jiang Wang smiled: "Why aren't celestial beings considered human beings?"

As they were talking, the immortal dragon, demon ape, and old monk, whose bodies had changed to the size of ordinary humans, also appeared in the carriage, each holding a book and reading.

They are all studying the sealing technique, and the three statues have different postures.

The immortal dragon was calm and composed, the demon ape was scratching his ears and cheeks, and the old monk was frowning.

They come from the same body, but have different shapes, postures and meanings, which shows their agility.

Chong Xuansheng observed the three and said, "As long as you still remember me, you are still a human being. If you even forget me, you are not considered a human being."

Jiang Wang looked at the contents of the book without raising his eyes, but finally stopped laughing: "The celestial beings just don't have emotions, they don't forget."

Zhong Xuansheng took the book that Jiang Wang had finished reading and flipped through two pages casually.

What a familiar feeling.

It's a tough time again.

His wisdom allowed him to handle things with ease in many situations, but also prevented him from deceiving himself. He understood that there were some things that wisdom could not solve.

For example, the law of nature, for example, the law of nature that is now pressing on and oppressing our best friends.

If he is given some time, in just three to five years, he is confident that he can start from scratch and become a master in the field of sealing techniques.

But Jiang Wang’s situation is no longer something that a master of sealing techniques can resolve.

Isn't the Duke of Huai of the Great Chu such a person? But it was of no avail. His vision and methods were both top-notch in the world, but it was difficult to surpass the [Changsheng Town] he had laid out and settle the deep sea.

This was a solitary journey that could only be pursued by oneself, a self-struggle that only occurred in the depths of the sea of ​​consciousness. Before Jiang Wang arrived, he had asked many people many times. He already had the answer.

"After reading these books...do you have any plans?" Chong Xuansheng asked.

"Xuguo, Zhaoguo, and Changguo, I still have to go and take a look at these three countries." Jiang Wang already had a route in mind for this destined to be difficult confrontation. He would stay on the road until he was completely swallowed up by the Heavenly Dao. While flipping through the book in his hand, he casually replied, "Maybe I will go out to sea again."

Zhong Xuansheng raised his eyelids, stilled his restless hands, and asked casually, "Why go out to sea?"

"Oh, I want to visit Chen Zhitao of Diaohailou." Jiang Wang said, "He is unmatched among his peers in sealing towns. Maybe he can give me some ideas."

It’s not that Chen Zhitao’s attainments in sealing techniques are better than Zuo Xiao’s or the people Zuo Xiao brought with him.

But some problems are not problems in front of Zuo Xiao.

This is a big problem for Jiang Wang.

This is especially true for Chen Zhitao.

So perhaps Chen Zhitao can think better from his perspective.

"Oh, Chen Zhitao." Zhong Xuansheng waved his hand and said, "Who are you? How can you go to see him? I'll call him over for you."

"Who am I?" Jiang Wang looked at him strangely. "I need his help and I want him to come when I call... am I so embarrassed?"

"You are in a hurry! He will understand!" Zhong Xuansheng waved his hand and said, "Leave it to me, I will arrange it. You just focus on studying and stop talking nonsense!"
