Ancestor Above

The conditions offered by Wei Guo are not much different from what they offered before. It is still a large sum of resources and spiritual stones as gifts, and the ceding of a county in Hezhou does not add more benefits.

However, Chen Man, the ghost face god, broke through to the Dharma, but it was on the balance, and it dropped a heavy weight.

After learning this information, it is easy to think why Wei Guo dares to attack Qi Guo with such great fanfare.

Changes in the external environment are of course an important factor. Daqin started their expansion strategy in the west of the world, causing everything to turn upside down. This will make many countries have to focus on Qin, and have no time to talk about what Wei is doing.

The most direct ones are Liang Guo and Chu Guo, two countries that originally bordered Wei Guo.

For the State of Wei, this is indeed an opportunity to expand while taking advantage of the expansion of the State of Qin.

But only if this is the case, their behavior is still too bold and radical. In any case, there is Dayan in the north and Great Wu in the south. If these two countries intervene, it will be very difficult for Wei's expansion plan to succeed.

But if Chen Man, the 'ghost-faced god', had recently advanced to become a Faxiang period monk, then the whole thing could be linked together.

One more Faxiang, which means that in the national war, Wei State will have a very heavy weight, so that it can affect the outcome of the overall situation.

The most concentrated performance is here in the country of Yan. After hearing the news, he was immediately unmoved.

Isn't it obvious that people have disclosed this news?

This is a warning.

What's more, Xia Cang is actually not the only monk in the Dharma phase that Wei has. Generally speaking, looking at various countries, most people tend to think that Wei State originally had two dharma ministers.

Of course Xia Cang was the one who showed up on the surface, and he was very strong. But Wei Guo should still have a law minister, because all forces—not only the country—had some information, some of which should be the actions of Wei Guo, suspected law ministers, but not Xia Cang.

When such information has been accumulated, the fact that there is a Dharma Prime Minister besides Xia Cang in Wei State will be quite credible. Even, from various sources of information, some candidates can even be finalized: in Wei Guoli, there are five Nascent Soul cultivators whose reputations are not usually revealed.

But among these people, Chen Man, the ghost face god, was not included.

Although Chen Man was considered to be a monk in the late stage of Nascent Soul, or even at the peak of Nascent Soul many years ago, he was not listed as a candidate for the Dharma Phase in all sources of information. Although he is very mysterious, he is actually not that old in terms of age. According to the earliest indications of another dharma form of the Wei state, the ghost face god was only in the Jindan period.

No matter how disguised it is, it will not be possible for Dharma Xiang to pretend to be a golden elixir.

And the ghost face god has become the Dharma Aspect, which means that there are still two Dharma Aspects that Wei Guo may not yet show up.

Yan country going south? Patriarch Weiyun?

What should I do if I ran into two Dharma figures head-on?

If this matter can be confirmed, then Yan Guo's move to the south really needs to be considered more carefully.

But... Speaking of which, there is one more thing that cannot be ignored: Is Wei Guo lying?

There was no corresponding news from the Jinyiwei intelligence personnel lurking in Wei. After Lu Chaoxi reported this matter to Yun Xiaozong, they also said that they had not received any information on this.

This situation is very interesting.

It is impossible to judge decisively whether the envoy of Wei State is lying, but at least this possibility exists.

If you are frightened by such a simple lie, then this matter will look very shameful; but if you don't believe it, it turns out to be true, and it is not a good thing to hit your head and bleed.

This matter still has to be clarified.

Yun Xiaozong will use his own intelligence capabilities to find a way to clarify this matter. Here in the Lu family's court, Lu Wenen has of course also been ordered to try his best to find out the truth.

In addition to the intelligence systems of the two major forces of the Yan Kingdom, there are also some sources of intelligence that can testify.

Within two days, Lu Wenen met with envoys from many countries in Yan.

The information these envoys have is actually quite important. Even if some people's status is not important, such as the state of Chu, they just sent a foundation cultivator, but it doesn't matter, they can contact the corresponding country behind them for inquiries about things they don't know.

The information gathered one after another, and there will be a lot later.

For example, Qi Guo insisted that they had not received such information, and believed that it was impossible for Chen Man to enter the phase of law so quickly.

For example, the envoys of Chu State and Liang State finally gave ambiguous meanings, thinking that this matter is possible, but they are not particularly sure.

Wu Guo said with certainty that it is very likely that the ghost face god has broken through to the law.

These statements are very contradictory, and they are not entirely credible. Like Qi State, they were worried that Yan State would not send troops, so they naturally tried their best to deny this matter in order to dispel Yan State's concerns. In this way, their words will not be so credible.

The information given by Chu and Liang was vague, a little bit like trying to confuse the situation.

Wu Guo's affirmative statement makes people wonder what their attitude is.

In the final analysis, the statements of various countries can only be used for reference. There are too many positional things mixed in here, which are essentially the same as the warnings of the envoys of the State of Wei. They can only be listened to passively, but they cannot really be used as the basis for decision-making.

On the one hand, the Lu family and Yunxiaozong have to continue to study, and think about what to do if they are faced with various situations.

In addition, Wen En also worked hard to explore this matter clearly.

The lurking Jinyiwei in the two countries of Qi and Wei began to divert their energy to deal with this matter. Qi State is fine, the main purpose is to check to see if Qi State's intelligence system has any information about Ghost Face God.

In this matter, the most important effort must be the Jinyiwei who is stationed in Wei.

Lu Wenen looked to the south and said silently in his heart:

Uncle Mingheng...it's up to you.

...

It has been nearly twenty years since Lu Mingheng joined Jinyiwei. At the beginning, when he first entered Jinyiwei, he was only in the foundation building stage, but now, he is already a monk on the fourth floor of Qiming.

Speaking of which, his cultivation progress is extremely fast even in the Lu family where there are many geniuses. This year, he is only seventy-three years old, and he has already reached the fourth level of Qiming, which is of course considered very fast.

Of course, there are many people in the Lu family who are faster and stronger than him. But in this regard, he didn't have any unbalanced mentality. Those real geniuses in the family have single spiritual roots and even heavenly spiritual roots. I have no more than two spiritual roots, and my natural talent is a bit short, so there is no way.

On the road of cultivation, good talent really helps a lot, whether it is in the initial stage or the upper limit in the later stage, this is the case.

But this world does not really say that talent can represent everything.

In the end, personal comprehension, opportunity, effort in practice, direction of effort...these may be more important. Don't you see, Zou Ziwu, the former Prime Minister of Great Yan, was only Erlinggen, but he stood firmly at the Nascent Soul level.

What's more, Lu Mingheng knew that he seemed to be a very special person.

Since he was very young, in his early ten years old, when he officially started to practice, there would always be some understanding of practice in his mind. Even he himself didn't know where this realization came from at first.

Later, as he grew older, his parents and others said that he looked more and more like his own grandfather, Lu Chaoheng, one of the nine ancestors of the family.

The day when Chaoheng Shouyuan was exhausted was also the day when he was born.

In his opinion, this is a great fate.

And when he was older, he had a faint feeling that he was the reincarnation of his grandfather, and there would always be some memories in his mind that did not belong to him but actually belonged to his grandfather.

At the beginning, he had panic, thinking that one day he would not be himself? But later, as he got older, he discovered that this was only good for him and not bad for him.

These memories will not influence his own thoughts, let alone change his temperament greatly. On the contrary, those experiences in practice made him avoid a lot of detours on the road of practice—at least in the level of Qi training, so that he walked very steadily when the road of practice started. Not only did his cultivation advance faster than his fellow family monks who were even more talented than him in the same period, but his foundation was also unexpectedly stable.

In addition to the benefits of cultivation, there is another point. After awakening the memories of many grandfathers Lu Chaoheng, Lu Mingheng knew the past events of many families. a deeper experience. At the same time, the memories of these seniors also gave him a lot of insight and wisdom, allowing him to think more comprehensively when thinking about things, and his personality will become more stable.

These are all positive benefits.

The rapid progress of his cultivation saved him a lot of detours, and he soon entered the foundation building period, and even the enlightenment period. Although, those experiences and understandings are actually gone after the foundation building period, but the way of practice is like this, one step at a time, one step at a time. Getting off to a fast and steady start is obviously of great benefit.

At the same time, his more stable and meticulous personality has also allowed him to perform well in various family affairs and make a lot of contributions.

In addition, Lu Weiwen, who is his nephew in name but is actually a dozen years older than him, often takes care of him a lot and intends to support him. He himself was upbeat, so after he advanced to the Enlightenment Stage, he became a core member that the family relied on very much, and he was also placed high hopes by the family, and he was the star of hope in the future.

After entering Jinyiwei, he also made many meritorious deeds.

And such an excellent performance also allowed him to be given more important responsibilities: Seven years ago, he was only on the second floor of Qiming at that time, and he was sent to Wei State to be responsible for taking over and establishing Dayan's intelligence system in Wei State. He was given the position of Fushi of Jinyiwei Town.

Originally, this system existed. But after the great changes in Yan State, the connection with the new domestic court became very problematic. When the Lu Dynasty was newly established, domestic affairs were also a mess, and there was really not much energy to manage the intelligence system located abroad, so this matter was shelved.

Fortunately, they themselves do not have much information about the new dynasty, and their loss of control will not cause too many problems.

However, the lack of an intelligence system must always be resolved. Not long after Jinyiwei was established, it has already started to deal with this matter. Seven years ago, it even sent Lu Mingheng, one of the important members of the Lu family, over here.

According to the original plan, Ming Heng will stay in Wei State for about ten years. I have already prepared a lot of practice resources used during this period, so I don't need to worry too much about personal problems. And his task is to rebuild the intelligence system here and bring it into the management of Jin Yiwei.

This matter does not need to be done from scratch, but the difficulty is not less than starting from scratch.

After all, there is still some legacy of the intelligence system of Yan State here in Wei State. These inheritances, of course, can be inherited.

However, the new intelligence system cannot rely too much on the old. After all, these former intelligence personnel belonged to the old Great Yan court. When Li Shiwen was preparing to make a breakthrough in the legal phase, he colluded with Wei Guoyou. It is difficult to guarantee how much Yan State’s former intelligence system has been exposed In the sight of Wei Guo; even those who were not exposed, there is a possibility of betraying Yan Guo and collaborating with the enemy.

The screening work is even more difficult than reconstruction.

But in the past seven years, Lu Mingheng has done a good job. The traitors that should be dealt with have already been dealt with; those that should be received have also been successfully received; the part that has been rebuilt by itself can also function normally.

But right now, the mission coming from Dayan is the first and most important test that Lu Mingheng's Jinyiwei branch faces.

After he took the task very carefully, he quickly put himself into action.

Jin Yiwei is in the territory of Wei State, where did you come from, after all, you have accumulated some information. A well-known Nascent Soul cultivator like Ghost Mian Shen, and someone who had hooked up with the Faceless Association in Yan Kingdom back then, of course needs to be paid attention to.

In this way, the relevant intelligence collection did not start from scratch.

After careful inspection, Lu Mingheng probably figured out where the Ghost-Mask God Chen Man was.

After confirming that there was no problem with the information, Lu Mingheng left Xudu, the capital of the Great Wei Dynasty, and headed southeast to Huhan County.

Huhan County is located a little south of the border between Xuzhou and Zhaizhou.

According to intelligence, Chen Man should live in a valley in the southwest of Huhan County.
