Chapter 771 In front of the Earth Temple
In the next few days, Zhou Wen went to some dimensional areas of the imperial capital, but he didn't gain anything and didn't find the small hand pattern.
The Wang family has already come to a conclusion on the Xiao family's issue. Although it has temporarily appeased the Xiao family, it still remains a hidden danger.
The Xiao family's interest in Wang Chan will probably not stop because of Xiao Si's death. The Wang family also wants to find out the cause and effect of this matter. If possible, they even want to destroy the Xiao family directly to prevent this future trouble.
But the Xiao family itself is not weak, and it is far away in the southern district, where the Wang family cannot reach.
If one wants to destroy a local wealthy family like the Xiao family, perhaps only the Dugu family, the ruler of the southern district, can do it easily.
The Wang family could only stabilize the Xiao family first, and then slowly plot secretly to find out why the Xiao family wanted Wang Chan.
The affairs of the imperial capital were basically over, and Zhou Wen planned to return to Luoyang. Before leaving, Grandma Wang brought Wang Lu and Wang Chan to see him off, and also told him to come to their house often when he was free.
Zhou Wen left the imperial capital and arrived at an abandoned village, where he saw An Sheng sitting on the roots of a big tree waiting for him.
"Young Master Wen, how is Old Master Xia?" An Sheng had been here for so long. Although he had not entered the imperial capital himself, he was already familiar with the situation in the imperial capital. He had already contacted Zhou Wen a long time ago, but for safety reasons, some information was not passed on.
"He will never appear again." Zhou Wen briefly recounted what happened to Xia Jiuhuang, leaving Ansheng in shock.
"Grandpa Xia is Xia Jiuhuang, and his innate invincible magic skill has not been broken. Does this mean that the Xia family is not actually his bloodline?" An Sheng immediately had the same guess as Zhou Wen.
"Who knows? Theoretically speaking, as long as the innate invincible magic skill is not broken, Xia Jiuhuang should not have any descendants. However, his innate invincible magic skill has been integrated with the Great Emperor Sutra to form the Innate Great Emperor Sutra. Maybe he could have descendants. Now he is dead, and this secret will probably never be known by anyone." Zhou Wen said.
"What's the current situation of the Forbidden City?" An Sheng asked another important question.
"I don't know either. You have to ask it." Zhou Wen looked at the listless antelope beside him.
An Sheng obviously knew that he would not be able to get an answer from Lingyang, so he changed the subject: "Li Xuan went to the South District."
"Why are you going to the South District all of a sudden?" Zhou Wen was stunned. Li Xuan had never told him about this.
"Did Li Mobai go looking for him?" Zhou Wen suddenly thought of something and his face changed drastically.
"No, he went there with Dugu Chong. Dugu Chong wanted to accept him as his disciple, but Li Xuan disagreed. In order to impress Li Xuan, Dugu Chong told Li Xuan some secrets, so Li Xuan wanted to try his luck in the South District. He was afraid that you would worry, so he didn't let me tell you." An Sheng recounted what had happened.
Zhou Wen was really a little worried. Li Xuan looked careless and heartless on the surface, but in fact he was a person who was easily swayed by his emotions. This was Li Xuan's shortcoming as well as his advantage. Zhou Wen was really afraid that something would happen to him in the South District.
There are many weird things in the South District, such as poisonous insects, Kumantong, black magic, etc. Even if Li Xuan has an immortal body, he is not absolutely safe in such a place, not to mention that Li Xuan has not yet reached the realm of immortality.
It’s too late to say anything now. Zhou Wen just hopes that Li Xuan can return safely.
"There's a very famous land temple up ahead. Do you want to go and see it?" After traveling for most of the day and arriving at a small town, An Sheng asked Zhou Wen.
"The Earth Temple? It's good to go and take a look." Zhou Wen still remembered that the last time he went to the Earth Temple, he got a treasure map, but he didn't dig up the treasure. Instead, he was given an iron walnut by a doll-like dimensional creature, and inside the iron walnut was Tai Sui.
The functions of the land temples in various parts of the East District are similar. If people born locally go to worship the Land God, they may get a treasure map.
But if you were not born on this land, I'm sorry, even if you hit your head and break it, the God of Land will not pay any attention to you.
An Sheng took Zhou Wen to a nearby land temple. The land temple here was indeed much larger than the one Zhou Wen visited last time. Moreover, the main god of this temple was the land god, and it did not share the temple and incense with other gods.
"I'm selling a treasure map. This is a genuine treasure map from a local. I only want a legendary companion egg."
"A freshly minted treasure map in exchange for two legendary power crystals, measuring energy level six or above."
"Ancestral treasure map..."
The area in front of the land temple is very lively, just like a market. There are many stalls selling treasure maps, and some are selling crystals and companion eggs.
"Why don't these locals go digging for treasure themselves?" Zhou Wen felt a little strange.
An Sheng smiled and said, "Do you really believe these people are selling treasure maps? The Dimensional Storm has been going on for decades now, and the locals have already done all the worship they can. Only newborn babies are eligible to worship the Earth God and get the treasure map. How many babies are born every year?"
Zhou Wen suddenly understood that these people selling treasure maps were similar to those who used to sell antique Buddha statues at the entrance of temples. Most people knew that the goods were fake, but they still took a chance.
"It's a pity that we are not locals, so it's useless even if we pray. Otherwise, it would be nice to get a treasure map and try our luck." An Sheng said.
"That's possible. Although we are not locals, it is possible that the God of Land will give us a treasure map if he sees that we are good people." Zhou Wen said with a smile.
"Young man, you are really good at thinking about good things. Instead of having such unrealistic dreams, you might as well come to me and buy two treasure maps to try your luck." An old man selling treasure maps said with a smile.
"Instead of buying a treasure map from you, we might as well go and worship the God of Land." Zhou Wen shook his head and was about to walk into the temple.
"Young man, take another look. Maybe the treasure map here is really more useful than the one from the God of Land?" The old man did not give up and pulled Zhou Wen and said.
Zhou Wen's expression changed slightly, and he stared at the old man.
His reaction was so quick that it would be difficult for even a mythical creature, let alone an old man, to encounter Zhou Wen.
The old man pulled his arm seemingly casually, and Zhou Wen didn't even react. This was definitely not normal.
However, Zhou Wen did not feel anything special about this old man, and the sense of crisis he had cultivated over a long period of time did not come into play.
Zhou Wen looked at the old man, and the more he looked, the more he felt as if he had seen this old man somewhere. Although his appearance was different, his eyes made Zhou Wen feel very familiar.
"These eyes... these eyes... Jing Daoxian... there is no mistake... these are Jing Daoxian's eyes..." Zhou Wen almost cried out.
