Chapter 285: Gathering of the Exploration Team
The next morning, a golden dragon ship floated at the dock entrance at the edge of Tianmen Square. Zhou Ling, You Yunzhi, Xiao Ruying, Jin Xuan, Shi Heshang, Gongsun Haoyun, Chen Wenwen, Zhou Lingsha, Qin Feiyu and others came to Tianmen Square from various places and boarded the golden dragon ship.
This was the first time for everyone to ride on this spaceship used exclusively by the Emperor of Heaven. The luxury inside was simply outrageous. Zhou Lingsha, Feiyu, Jin Xuan, Shi Heshang, and Chen Wenwen all looked around and touched things with a look of curiosity on their faces.
Anyway, with Zhou Lingsha taking the lead, there is no need to worry about anything breaking. She will take care of everything. Jin Xuan even tried some beverage machines and other things.
Zhou Lingxiao, You Yunzhi and Xiao Ruying sat there together without organizing them. They knew Zhou An would not care about this.
Although You Yunzhi was a concubine, except for the necessary dual cultivation with Zhou An, she basically practiced in seclusion in her own palace.
She is a very quiet person, but her comprehension is extremely high. It can be said that she is at the same level as Zhou Ling, and much better than San Zi Niangniang. In fact, her strength has already caught up with San Zi Niangniang.
If it weren't for the protection of Qianjing this time, even Zhou An would not have known that You Yunzhi had such strength. This time, she made great contributions in protecting the imperial city, and her strength was recognized by everyone, so she was promoted to imperial concubine.
Seeing that the personnel dispatched this time were completely different from those in the past, Xiao Ruying asked curiously, "Princess Zhou Ling, what mission does His Majesty want us to carry out this time?"
Gongsun Haoyun and Chen Wenwen were sitting next to them. Their status did not allow them to sit with the imperial concubine, but Xiao Ruying was the Queen of Canglong, so she naturally had the qualifications.
"I don't know either. I just received a notice from His Majesty last night, but Lingsha should know something." Zhou Ling looked at Zhou Lingsha and called her over.
Zhou Lingsha came over with various iced drinks. Jin Xuan, Shi Heshang and Qin Feiyu all took them together and distributed the drinks to everyone.
While dividing the food, Jin Xuan asked curiously, "Zhou Lingsha, if you want to know, please tell me. I was extremely curious last night. When His Majesty Zhou An... no... notified me last night, he was very mysterious and said that there was something fun and exciting. I didn't sleep well all night."
"I know." Qin Feiyu said proudly after sitting down: "Let me tell you, it is related to the things left by Emperor Kaiyuan. This matter has been investigated by our Purple Guards and the two ladies Ziqiong and Zixuan.
Let me tell you, we have found the Gu tribe village, underground, it is very strange, many Jinyiwei people are missing."
"So exciting!" Jin Xuan's neck turned red with excitement. He took a big gulp of the iced drink and asked excitedly, "What's so weird about the Gu tribe village?"
"You didn't sleep all night, kid." Zhou An walked in with a mysterious expression and a smile.
"Your Majesty." Everyone here stood up and saluted.
"This is not the imperial palace, there's no need to be so polite. Look, Jin Xuan and Ling Sha are very self-conscious." Zhou An looked at the two who didn't think of themselves as emperors at all. They sat there with only curious eyes, and had thrown all etiquette out of their minds.
"Jin Xuan is like that." Zhou Ling smiled helplessly. No wonder Jin Xuan and Zhou An have such a good relationship. They are both similar. As long as it is not a formal occasion, they will be very wild.
Zhou An could still control himself, but once Jin Xuan got excited, he would forget all the etiquette and human relationships.
After Zhou An sat down, he said, "This time it is indeed related to something left behind by Emperor Kaiyuan. We don't know what it is yet. After Xuannv's calculations, it is directly related to Zhengyi Sect, and the three of you, Zhou Ling, You Yunzhi, and Xiao Ruying, are the key figures."
"We?" The three were surprised. You Yunzhi and Xiao Ruying had nothing to do with Zhengyi Dao.
“I don’t know why either. We can only know after entering and exploring. And this time we should be able to find out the origin of Zhengyi Dao. It’s not just as simple as being established by the servants of the gods.” Zhou An said.
Gongsun Haoyun frowned and asked with a cautious and unbelieving tone: "Your Majesty, was the Zhengyi sect really founded by a servant of the God Clan?"
"This is the God Clan's personal admission. I think even if it's not true, it must be related to the God Clan. Also, I contacted Mei Yao last night, and the Drunken Taoist has woken up. His body is still recovering. When he has almost recovered, he will come with us." Zhou An said.
"That's great, the drunk uncle finally woke up. But the most comfortable thing is that he and the charming demon are married. When he comes, I will definitely scold him and let him teach me a lesson before, hehe." Jin Xuan thought of some bad idea and smiled very cunningly, which made Zhou Ling roll his eyes.
The Emperor's special spaceship is very fast, and it takes less than an hour to reach Yuanzhou Mountains from Qianjing.
When their spaceship landed on the plain of the valley, the Jinyiwei who were in charge of investigating the place lined up to salute and greet them. The momentum was truly astonishing. With the development in the past few years, the number of Jinyiwei personnel has expanded a lot, and the total number has now reached 3,000, with the minimum threshold being the first level of innateness.
There are 10,000 trainee Jinyiwei, and the lowest among them is a post-natal seventh-level warrior.
Only young people with high talents can be admitted as exceptions and recruited as Young Jinyi Guards. They are all homeless children from Kyushu, and there are currently 30,000 of them.
In fact, the number is even greater. These are collected by their respective officials and divided into national schools, Jinyiwei, Ziyiwei, and soul-suppressing departments for training according to their respective members of parliament.
During the wars in Jiuzhou, many families were destroyed and many people were left homeless. Almost all the children were adopted by Qian Yuan.
As long as you have a clean background, you will be assigned a job in Qianyuan, or taken to other sparsely populated states to join the newly built city.
This will allow sparsely populated states such as Bingzhou and Huangzhou to replenish their population, and Zhou An also has sufficient funds to support these expenditures.
In Zhou Yang's words, Qianyuan is now extremely wealthy, especially after establishing trade with Kaiyuan, Qianyuan's economy will be increased to an order of magnitude. However, even though Zhou Yang used the power of the country to build a business empire, he still did not earn as much money as Zhou An alone.
This made Zhou Yang despair. He didn't understand where Zhou An got all the money from. Although he was curious, he was also a very smart person, so he naturally couldn't ask.
Entering the underground camp, which was very close to the Gu tribe village, they walked into the tent. Zhou Lingsha and Qin Feiyu took the computer handed over by their subordinates and projected a three-dimensional image onto the table.
Then he began to say, "This is a holographic map of the Gu tribe village that we found through our investigation. In order to find this, more than a dozen of our brothers died. We have investigated the entire Gu tribe without leaving out anything, but we just can't find any clues about Emperor Kaiyuan.
We also didn’t find any entrances to other places. We have explored all the places in this underground cave that humans can enter.”
Jin Xuan exclaimed: "The Jinyiwei are really amazing. They actually came up with this thing. What else is there to explore? You have already touched it all."
Qin Feiyu pointed to a dark empty space and said, "We suspect this area may be a secret room. The space is large enough to accommodate a large manor. We have investigated this place several times and have had many conflicts with the Gu tribe. There is indeed no trace of any entry. We even had people sneak in to dig and dug more than ten holes, but we didn't find anything."
Zhou An looked at the holographic map carefully and suddenly discovered that the building range of the Gu tribe village actually matched the Qimen Dunjia.
You have to know that Qimen Dunjia is not something from this world. He has investigated various sects in Jiuzhou and found that there is no such thing as Qimen Dunjia. All people are practicing formations and Taoism.
There is no such thing as Feng Shui. They only care about the spiritual veins. As for other things, innate cultivators do not need Feng Shui at all. As long as there is sufficient spiritual energy, it will be fine.
But if this is not a coincidence, then the origin of the person who designed the Gu village makes Zhou An curious. Is this person also from Earth?
He used the Qimen Dunjia method recorded in the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady's Talisman to analyze it, pointed to a place and asked, "What is this?"
"There is a bronze man in the middle of the sacrificial square. The Gu tribe will worship at the first ray of sunlight shining here every day. And there will be a human sacrifice every month, and blood will be poured on the bronze man's head." Zhou Lingsha said.
"I don't think this Gu tribe is a good thing. They are just like evil demons. I think it's better to destroy them." Jin Xuan identified the Gu tribe as soon as he heard it.
"In fact, I have mentioned this to my brother a long time ago, asking me to take people to destroy the Gu tribe. This race of parasites is inherently evil and has no need to exist." Zhou Lingsha also said.
"Pass on my order, capture the Gu tribe village. As long as they don't resist, they will be spared. Those who resist will be killed without mercy."
When Zhou An gave the order, Zhou Lingsha showed joy. She had long hated this race. Although this was the Gu tribe's way of survival and there was no right or wrong, she was a human being. From a human perspective, the Gu tribe was inherently evil.
"Yes." Zhou Lingsha ran out to summon the commander to give the order to attack.
Because some Jinyiwei died in there, everyone had wanted to do this for a long time. This time, they finally received the emperor's order, and they all lined up with murderous intent and rushed towards the cave passage of the Gu tribe village.
