The Grand Void – Becoming a Dragon

Eastern Yuan Realm, Seventh Mansion, Xundi.

One of the mine veins was listed as a forbidden area by King Cang, but the news was suppressed, and even the Dachu Scholars' Mansion was not aware of it.

However, this forbidden land was included in the mine veins developed by Zhuang's firm.

King Cang acquiesced in this matter?

Or another reason?

"Is that an iron mine?" Zhuang Ming asked.

"An ordinary iron mine." Bai Qing said: "There was no abnormality before, so it is very ordinary."

"But such an unusual thing was born." Zhuang Ming stood with his hands behind his back, and said in a low voice: "The Great Chu Dynasty may not know this place, but King Cang does."

In the Dongsheng Dynasty, salt and iron were extremely important, so at first, they were all managed by the government. Later, for various reasons, commercial firms in various places were allowed to get involved in the salt business, but iron ore was always strictly controlled.

But for the Great Chu Dynasty, gold and silver must be strictly controlled, but copper and iron are not strictly controlled. Only among them, such as iron essence, different copper, etc., or treasures that can be refined, can be controlled. extremely strict.

This iron mine is very common, and it has not been included in the forbidden categories of Dachu.

But King Cang had already marked such a terrible place.

"This is the ore vein that my Zhuang's business has acquired in the early years. Before Feng Lun became the patriarch of the palm seal, it had already been purchased from the government, and the right to mine the mine was bought with a lot of money. There are so many places."

Fu Lao said: "It's just that in the past, there has never been such an abnormality."

Bai Qing paused, and said: "Maybe it's just because the people who mined the mines and the people who guarded them have never exceeded the boundaries of ordinary people. The strongest person in my Zhuang's business is just a martial arts master, and there is no such thing as a martial arts master." Gods and demons. This time, Wen Han was injured, which shocked me and made me attach great importance to it."

Zhuang Ming nodded slightly and pondered for a while, but he wanted to send a message to King Cang to ask clearly.

But King Cang may not be willing to tell.

What's more, King Cang didn't need to tell.

Furthermore, if there is any problem, I will seek out King Cang for help. He, a disciple of Jusheng Mountain, is not a direct disciple of King Cang.

"My lord..." Liu He said in a low voice, "If you can instantly injure Wen Han, a cross-refining god and demon who has almost half-legged into Zhenxuan, and make him seriously injured to the point of death, even a great cultivator at the initial stage of Zhenxuan , it is difficult to do it, the power contained in that stone statue is probably at the level of high-level Zhenxuan or even the ultimate Zhenxuan."

"You're right." Zhuang Ming's eyes were fixed, and he replied, "You should be more careful."

"Do you need to go to Xundi to check?" Bai Qing asked aloud.

"At present, it is best to explore the place where the stone statue was born." Liu He replied.

"My external incarnation has already gone to Xundi." Zhuang Ming paused and said, "As for this stone statue, that's all you found before?"

"Yes, in my Zhuang's firm, anyone who practiced gods and demons would feel terrified when they approached them, but under the gods and demons, ordinary people, even martial arts masters, would not be so oppressed." Bai Qing said seriously: "At present, the guards The stone statues are only ordinary warriors, and those who explore the stone statues are not practitioners, but it is precisely because of this that they have no cultivation base, limited vision, limited detection methods, and no traces can be found... so far The result is that the material is no different from ordinary rocks, there are no traces of artificial carvings, and it doesn't look like a real creature, it's just an ordinary stone statue."

"But after Wen Han's incident, everyone knows that this stone statue is not ordinary." Fu Lao replied.

"Henglian gods and demons are approaching, feeling terrified and unable to detect, while ordinary people can't detect any signs. In this way... I can only let my cultivation level of the Zhenxuan series go to detect it myself." Zhuang Ming thought for a moment, then said.

"But that stone statue is at least at the Zhenxuan level. It may not be safe for the young master to investigate it himself. Why don't I explore it first?" Liu He said.

"You are also cultivating gods and demons, and most of them will also cause the stone statue to shake." Bai Qing reminded.

"It's okay, just a little trial."

Zhuang Ming put it this way, and said: "Old Fu has not yet completed his cultivation, so he stays here. Liu He watches over Wen Han. If something happens to him, you can calm him down. Shuang Ling is good at medicine, so he stays here too. Bai Qing...you You are more familiar with the stone statue, so follow me."

Bai Qing hurriedly responded.

Zhuang Ming said: "Let's leave today, you go and pack up."

Bai Qing said hello immediately.

——

After half an hour.

Zhuang's firm prepared a carriage.

Bai Qing drives the horse, and Zhuang Ming sits inside.

"These two steeds are extremely rare treasures in the Eastern Yuan Realm. They are extremely spiritual. It is said that they are the blood of the great demon. They are also the best horses in our firm."

Bai Qing put it this way, and said: "I spent a lot of money to buy it at the time, but now it seems that it is still a mortal horse after all. For the young master, if he can subdue a demon king as a mount, he is worthy of his status."

Zhuang Ming said flatly: "Stop flattering, it's time to leave."

Bai Qing immediately answered yes, and drove away.

But the carriage hadn't left ten li before Bai Qing's voice was heard.

"My lord, in fact, these days, I still have a guess, but I always feel that this guess is a bit absurd. I don't want to say too much in public, so as not to make me laugh, but in front of my lord, Bai Qing has no scruples."

"What guess do you have?" Zhuang Ming asked.

"That stone statue will have great power and oppression when it meets people above the mortal boundary." Bai Qing said in a deep voice: "In my business, anyone who has practiced gods and demons will feel terrified, but under the gods and demons , but didn’t feel too much power. I originally guessed that it should be the power beyond the ordinary limit that aroused the guard of the stone statue, but the Xundi of the Seventh Mansion, has no Jindan Daoist passed by there in these years? If a Jindan Daoist really passed by there and was intimidated by the power of the stone statue, then the reputation of this stone statue has already spread..."

"Then what is your guess now?" Zhuang Ming narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Perhaps, it's not about guarding against the power above the mortal boundary, but this stone statue is just hostile to the gods and demons who practiced." Bai Qing's tone lowered, and whispered: "In more detail, maybe it's just hostile to the blood of the real dragon."

"Oh?" Zhuang Ming paused. He also had such a guess just now, but he didn't expect that Bai Qing had also considered this point.

"Our firm has not been established in Dachu for a long time, and there are very few martial arts masters recruited, and the real people of the Jindan level are already like gods, which is unattainable for the previous Zhuang's firm, so There are no real people." Bai Qing continued: "Now that the firm has grown and grown, there are already many powerful existences, but these brothers who are comparable to real people are all cultivating gods and demons, and they are all ancient real dragons. Descendants of the Dragon Guard."

"So you think it's not the power above the mortal boundary that makes the stone statue feel afraid, but the body of the gods and demons, or even the blood of the ancient real dragon, that is hostile to the stone statue?" Zhuang Ming asked.

"Bai Qing has such a guess, what do you think, Young Master?"

"Not without reason."

"If that's the case, you should be more careful when the young master passes by himself."

"I've always been cautious."

Having said that, Zhuang Ming has roughly figured out the origin of the stone statue in his mind.

He has recently browsed through the library of Jusheng Mountain, and he has roughly read some of the classics that Master Bai Shengjun cares about, all of which are related to ancient secrets.

This stone statue should be a product of ancient times, not a modern one.

"It... might be alive..."
