I have a Taoist temple that connects me to other worlds
#49 - Taicang City
Jiang Wen felt he had a special connection with caves. Last time he went to Changping Village, he encountered danger in a cave, and this time it was the same.
However, considering that cultivation realms generally involved cave dwellings, he felt relieved.
He and Li Yunshang cleaned out the cave, and the pool of blood was also collected into a jade bottle, to be dealt with later. After all, this thing was too strange, and even Li Yunshang couldn't determine its origin. After discussion, they decided to take it back to the Tai Shen Palace and hand it over to the Palace Master for disposal.
Staying here was too dangerous. If there were any unforeseen changes in the future, it would harm others.
As for the little boy lying on the stone bed, Jiang Wen, out of sympathy for his mother, decided to seal the cave and treat it as his tomb. Unless someone dug three feet into the ground, it would be difficult for anyone to imagine that there was such a place underground.
In the end, the old woman didn't leave anything behind. Jiang Wen only found a thick, yellowed book. The cover was inscribed with the ugly words "Sacrificial Scripture."
"Could it be a secret technique from other heretical sects?" Jiang Wen flipped through the "Sacrificial Scripture," but couldn't continue after reading a couple of pages. The secret techniques recorded in this book were too evil, including not only using heart blood to revive the dead, but also treacherous methods such as sacrifice and seizing bodies.
"Doesn't anyone care about this outside of Tai Cang City?" Jiang Wen asked curiously.
The streets along the way were bustling with activity, and the people lived their lives. It was similar to Jiang Wen's impression of ancient life, and dirtiness was inevitable.
Jiang Wen and the others were on a large boat. After leaving the temple, they went to the old woman's residence to pack their luggage. They even found the coachman turned into white bones in the courtyard, and even the carriage was made of dead horse bones, which was quite frightening.
"But this blood pool wasn't a complete waste, wasn't it? There's still that little bastard, isn't there?"
"What you said is correct, knowing yourself and your enemy leads to victory in every battle," Jiang Wen agreed with Li Yunshang and put the scripture into his storage bag.
Under such great power, it is indeed difficult to develop industry.
Walking along the harbor towards the city walls, Jiang Wen had a sense of watching "Attack on Titan." According to Li Yunshang, the walls of Tai Cang City were raised by a Dao Palace True Person using magic. The four sides were equal in length, each more than fifty miles long. This also gave him a new understanding of the industrial capabilities of this world.
The two turned their heads to look at the huge statue again and then walked out of the cave.
"Is that so?" The faceless man chuckled lightly. "But the recent changes are a bit too much."
After an unknown amount of time, the top of the cave suddenly broke open. Light shone down, and two masked men in yellow robes landed in the cave.
Occasionally, beggars and orphans could be seen begging along the way, and manure carts carrying manure spread the odor as they went away.
As for Jiang Wen at this moment, he had already arrived at Tai Cang City, one of the three major cities of Qingzhou, by boat.
Li Yunshang avoided these dirty things with a look of disgust, occasionally using a small spell to purify the air around her.
"Tai Cang has arrived. Passengers who wish to go elsewhere, please disembark here," the boatman shouted, and the passengers in the boat stood up one after another, bringing their families and luggage, looking like migrant workers.
"Of course there are, but don't expect those guys to do much good," Li Yunshang said unhappily. "They're all just people occupying positions without doing any work."
The city walls had no gaps, as if they had been erected in one go. Banners fluttered above, and guards could be vaguely seen overlooking all directions.
Ships came and went like crucian carp crossing the river, and sails blocked out the sun. Sailors shouted, shopkeepers hawked, young masters and ladies traveled by car, and all kinds of people were bustling about, making it very lively.
They looked at the messy situation in the cave and stopped for a moment.
Outside the city walls was a continuous residential area. The buildings were messy and uneven, and it should be where people who could not settle in the city lived.
"The Azure Heaven is dead, the Yellow Heaven shall rise!"
"Hahaha."
Then they took a boat to the shore, and in just two or three days, they arrived at Tai Cang City.
From a distance, Tai Cang City was majestic and imposing, like a large mountain standing beside the river.
"Li Family's Pure Yang Vicious Ghost, Yang Family Village's Calamity Mist, and this temple's Blood Pool. All the things you set up seem to have been destroyed by someone."
Legend has it that the Great Qian Human Emperor chased deer in all directions to this place and found it surrounded by mountains and rivers. So he established the capital city, named Tai Cang.
Then the soil collapsed, and huge rocks sealed the entire cave, leaving only the little boy lying quietly on the stone bed, letting his heart beat faintly.
"I have nothing to say, but these are just trivial matters," the patterned mask sighed. "How can I easily calculate the grand plan of the world?"
"All calculations will have errors, and it is normal for changes to occur," another person with a patterned mask chuckled. "Besides, these things won't affect our grand plan."
"I haven't heard of such a secret technique either. It's indeed beyond my expectations. It seems that I have to go to the book pavilion to broaden my knowledge after returning this time," Li Yunshang sighed. "Sect Leader Jiang might as well take it first. It's a good thing to learn more about it. If you encounter this kind of situation again in the future, you'll know how to deal with it."
"Take him away. Perhaps the Dao Lord will be interested in him. Emperor Yong has been the Son of Heaven for more than three hundred years. It's time to let him understand that the fate of Great Qian has come to an end."
After a burst of hearty laughter, there was no one left in the cave. The little boy lying on the bed also disappeared, leaving only the dilapidated cave.
Jiang Wen and his party also walked down and stood at the port of Tai Cang, looking at the vast city walls. It was hard to imagine how the fifty-zhang-high walls were built. They looked like a continuous mountain range reaching into the distance.
"Su Ping Sheng, your plan seems to have some omissions," the person with the faceless mask said calmly.
"Don't worry, our thousand-year scheme is nearing its end. No matter how it changes, it won't affect our grand plan. When the 'one' is closed, even if a saint comes out of the mountain, he will be powerless to reverse the situation," the patterned mask said, staring intently at the little boy on the bed.
"You pride yourself on scheming against ghosts and gods. I didn't expect you to have such a disheartened moment," the faceless man said with a smile, walking slowly to a grave. "There is the aura of Tai Shen Palace here. It seems that someone has used the Myriad Swords Technique. They are quite righteous, letting people return to dust and earth to earth, and erecting a tomb. But you better not let Tai Shen Palace know about our grand plan, otherwise, if those old things come out of the mountain, no one will have a good ending."
Tai Cang, Jing Yuan, and Ping Liao are the largest cities in Qingzhou, and each city is guarded by a Divine General.
"I didn't expect you to have so many opinions."
"That's natural."
While chatting, the magnificent city gate was already in sight, and those entering the city had already formed a long queue.
