Chapter 721 Give Face
"Senior brother is back, thank you for your hard work!"
When Jia Huan was about to leave for the south, Zuo Youxian, who also participated in the second Western transmission of Taoism, returned to Changgeng Temple covered with travel and dust.
"It's not hard work, but it's the junior brother who has worked hard!"
Zuo Youxian laughed, his expression suddenly became solemn, and he said softly: "I have heard about the evil emperor, but I didn't expect that such an old monster is still alive!"
When he first heard the news, he was really shocked.
Damn it, Evil Emperor Xiang Yutian is an existence that he can only look up to right now.
It can be said that Zuo Youxian's strength has improved very quickly. At this time, he has reached the middle stage of martial arts master, but it is still far behind compared to beings like the Evil Emperor.
The higher the realm, the more clearly you can see certain things.
At least, he knew that his lifespan would definitely not be as exaggerated as nearly three hundred years!
At most, it would be extraordinary to live to be 150 years old.
Fortunately, his junior brother Jia Huan is strong enough, otherwise he would have to worry day and night.
"No big deal!"
Jia Huan pondered: "According to my estimation, this guy must also have hidden worries!"
"Otherwise, he wouldn't appear so elusive. There's no need for it!"
"That's good!"
Zuo Youxian breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "I am lucky enough to live up to my mission with the army this time!"
"Oh, senior brother, have you found a place similar to the Desert Temple?"
Jia Huan became interested and asked directly: "How many places are there?"
"Two places, I'm worried about arousing suspicion, so I can't confirm it yet!"
Zuo Youxian subconsciously lowered his voice and said: "They are all so-called ruins of a small country. The specific situation needs to be further investigated!"
“It’s good to have a goal!”
Jia Huan smiled and said: "Anyway, the entire Western Region is under our control now!"
Zuo Youxian set out with the Western Expedition Army, so naturally it was not just as simple as sitting in command.
When he encounters a difficult character, he has to deal with it himself and relieve the Western Expedition of trouble.
The most important task is to explore whether there is a mysterious area similar to the desert temple.
One desert temple is enough to establish a true lineage of Taoist ancestors and cultivate a steady stream of powerful martial arts masters in the future. It would be great if there were a few more.
Therefore, this matter is all done in secret, and the senior Turks who are traveling with us and the senior leaders of the major tribes cannot be informed, otherwise they will definitely cause trouble secretly.
You don't dare to mess around in the open, but it's easy to do some tricks in private.
Fortunately, Jia Huan has had in-depth understanding and analysis of relatively mysterious existences such as the Desert Temple before.
At least you know how to look for it and can be targeted instead of blindly searching.
The main thing is to visit the small countries in the Western Regions that have long been lost in history. The higher the level of civilization, the better!
Only a country with a sufficiently civilized level can build a spectacle like a desert temple for worship. This is true for small countries in the Western Region with extremely backward productivity.
Unexpectedly, senior brother Zuo Youxian found two places at once, and the harvest was really quite big.
After listening to his brother's brief account, Jia Huan also recounted the development of Chang Geng Temple after the Western Expedition, and finally the bad things that happened in the Central Plains.
"What, the evil emperor's relics are in the hands of junior brother?"
Zuo Youxian was startled, and then said in surprise: "Bring it to me and see!"
Jia Huan didn't take it seriously and took out the Evil Emperor's relic directly and gave it to his senior brother to play with and observe.
During this period, he also described his understanding of the Evil Emperor's relics.
"You mean to say that the relic crystal can not only absorb things like Yuanjing, but even luck? Isn't that too weird?"
Zuo Youxian showed an obvious look of fear on his face, and then directly returned the Evil Emperor's relic to Jia Huan.
He asked curiously: "Junior brother, do you want to use this thing to make a fuss?"
"It can't be hidden from senior brother's eyes!"
Jia Huan chuckled and said leisurely: "It's just a good opportunity to create a few martial arts masters!"
"It's easy to say that, but is anyone happy?"
Zuo Youxian said curiously: "Once the relic essence is used, there is basically no way forward in the future!"
"The Yin Queen has already used it!"
Jia Huan said calmly: "She is under too much pressure and has to be promoted to martial arts master quickly!"
"Junior brother means that it was caused by the group of monks going to Tianzhu!"
Zuo Youxian said clearly: "Queen Yin is quite foresight. The two old monks who went to Tianzhu were all successfully promoted to martial arts masters!"
"They're back too?"
Jia Huan was a little surprised: "I thought they would be happy to miss Shu!"
"How is that possible?"
Zuo Youxian curled his lips and said: "This time the Taoist method spreads to the west, part of the Tianzhu realm has been captured!"
"The situation there is really strange. I'm not used to it anyway!"
"I guess the two old monks who have made breakthroughs are not used to it either. It is better to return to the Central Plains as soon as possible!"
"Didn't the core successor of Cihang Jingzhai successfully break through?"
Jia Huan changed the topic and said curiously: "I think his talent is extraordinary, and his own martial arts background is quite profound!"
"Oh, then we have to blame the founder of the sect, Dini!"
Zuo Youxian said calmly: "How can the so-called "Cihang Sword Code" contain the true meaning of Buddhism?"
"It's even worse than just practicing Di Ni's original martial art "The Sword Technique of the Other Side"!"
"The way I see it, it's not that easy for the successor of Cihang Jingzhai to be promoted to a martial arts master!"
"The key is to have a higher level of Buddhist principles as the fundamental law!"
"The people in Cihang Jingzhai are unwilling to shave their heads. I don't believe that they are all devout Buddhist disciples!"
Hearing this, Jia Huan nodded in approval. Zuo Youxian hit the point.
He did not continue the topic, but told him about his upcoming trip to Yangzhou.
"It just so happens that my senior brother is back, so I can leave Changgeng Temple for a while without any worries!"
Jia Huan chuckled and said, "The matter of the evil emperor's relic in my hands needs to be well publicized in the Central Plains. I guess the Queen Yin will not spread the news easily!"
"It's good that my junior brother has a plan in mind!"
Zuo Youxian waved his hand and said, "I just want to take a break and absorb the gains from this trip to the west!"
That is, the next day, Jia Huan followed the eunuch who came to invite people and left quietly, without alarming many people.
Unexpectedly, when he arrived in Guanzhong, the head of Louguan Dao, Qi Hui, brought many big men from the Central Plains Dao, who had been waiting for a long time, and said frankly that he planned to follow Jia Tianshi to the south.
Such an action was obviously to support Jia Huan!
Although Jia Huan did not need such means at all, Qi Hui's actions still made him very satisfied, so he revealed in advance that the two old monks of the Buddhist sect had been successfully promoted.
"Thank you, Master, for informing me in advance!" (End of this chapter)
