"There is one last person, Chu Nan Gong of the Yin Yang School."
He was once the foremost sage of the State of Chu, and now a wandering scholar of Yin-Yang philosophy.
Currently, he serves under Li Si as an anonymous retainer.
This person possesses the Yellow Stone Heavenly Book and has astonishing wisdom. If he cannot be subdued, it would be best to kill him.
The Yellow Stone Book in his hand was a book bestowed by heaven.
In ancient times, when the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan fought a great battle with Chiyou, he was surrounded by Chiyou and his eighty-one brothers and was in dire straits.
At that critical moment, the Yellow Emperor received divine help, and the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden bestowed upon him the Yellow Stone Heavenly Book.
After obtaining the Heavenly Book, the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan gained miraculous power by comprehending its secrets.
Finally, in a desperate situation, they turned the tide and defeated Chi You and his eighty-one brothers.
The earth, from then on, regained its vitality.
Then, Jiang Ziya obtained the Yellow Stone Heavenly Book and eventually attained enlightenment in Qishan.
These messages are all secrets of the Heavenly Sect, and their accuracy is difficult to determine at this time.
However, Chu Nan Gong is indeed not to be underestimated.
After Zhang Bairen finished speaking, he took a breath and continued, "Basically, these are the only candidates. If we can get their full support, the empire can at least complete the new reforms and gain new vitality."
Ying Zheng bowed again to express his gratitude for Zhang Bairen's guidance.
This time, Zhang Bairen did not dodge.
Because this is the respect I deserve.
"The Yellow Stone Book, the Chi You Sword, the Demon God, the Goddess's Tears, and also the Dragon Soul and the Pixiu."
These things can all be linked to the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, as well as Chi You and the Yellow Emperor. Zhang Bairen pondered to himself.
If we were to categorize them, the Chi You Sword and the Demon God of Soldiers belong to the Chi You legacy.
The Yellow Stone Heavenly Book and the Dragon Soul belong to the Yellow Emperor's legacy.
As for the Goddess's Tears and the Pixiu, they still follow the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden.
The essay "On the Faults of Qin" states that the Qin state collected all the weapons in the land, gathered them in Xianyang, melted down the blades and arrowheads, and cast them into twelve bronze statues to weaken the people of the land.
If we place this passage in the context of the Qin Dynasty, it means that the Grand Tutor Gongshu Chou created the Twelve Golden Men based on the military demon god.
With that in mind, Zhang Bairen prepared to reveal his next objective.
Head to Loulan to find the Chi You Sword, the Dragon Soul, and the War God!
As for whether Xiao Li, the girl who was the incarnation of the Goddess's Tears, was related to the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, Zhang Bairen did not want to think about it.
The world of Qin's Moon is different from other worlds.
This is a martial arts world that is neither too high nor too low, but it has a mythological background.
According to Xiao Li, this world was created by the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, but no other deities were mentioned.
Based on the plot of "Dragon Soars Across Ten Thousand Miles," the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden should be a creator god at the planetary level, or even less than a planetary level.
If placed in the context of the game, it would be similar to the mechanical half-god in the game "God of War".
However, if the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden really appears, Zhang Bairen will have no other choice but to escape at the speed of light and travel to other worlds.
"Forget it, let's take it one step at a time. Loulan was already within the Qin Empire's conquest range."
"My appearance has only accelerated this process!" Zhang Bairen spoke again, starting with Chu Nan Gong's Yellow Stone Heavenly Book and mentioning records about the Yellow Emperor.
Then, Chi You and the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady were mentioned again.
There is a certain connection between the three, which is a matter recorded in history.
The secrets of Loulan were among the empire's top secrets, and when Zhang Bairen suddenly brought them up, Ying Zheng immediately thought of this matter.
Following a brief conversation, Zhang Bairen naturally achieved his goal for the trip.
"Master, since you wish to explore Loulan, I will send the Imperial Preceptor Gongshu Chou, along with the Grand Master of Destiny and the Junior Master of Destiny from the Yin-Yang School, as well as the Imperial border garrison, to accompany you into the desert to search for the legendary ancient kingdom of Loulan," Ying Zheng promised.
"Very well, thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhang Bairen bowed slightly to express his gratitude.
Ying Zheng immediately ordered the Shadow Guard to summon Gongshu Chou, as well as the Grand Master of Fate and the Junior Master of Fate from the Yin-Yang School.
Then, he wrote another decree, ordering the garrison at the desert border to obey Zhang Bairen's commands.
After receiving the imperial edict, Zhang Bairen patiently waited for Gongshu Chou and his entourage to arrive inside the palace.
Speaking of which, the most outrageous thing in this world is definitely mechanical engineering!
In the world of Qin Shi, most mechanical creations do not require energy to function properly.
Moreover, many of these mechanical creations also possess artificial intelligence, automatic sensing, and remote control capabilities.
In the art of mechanical engineering, in addition to purely mechanical creations, there are also mechanical modification techniques that are completely applicable to the human body and have no rejection reaction!
Even in modern society, these technologies are groundbreaking and cutting-edge.
However, in the world of Qin Shi, it becomes very reasonable.
Both the Mohist school and the Gongshu school had similar traditions of mechanical arts.
Chi You's demonic warriors were among the pinnacle creations of mechanical engineering.
These war robots, reaching heights of tens or even hundreds of meters, possess energy attacks that spew flames from their mouths. With a wave of their hands, they can shatter mountains and level buildings.
If such a behemoth appeared on the battlefield, it would definitely be a super weapon of mass destruction, capable of conquering cities and sweeping away thousands of troops.
Even in the world of martial arts, it is not something that ordinary masters can defeat.
Although the Demon God of War is not very agile, its size and mass, as well as the special metal from the fallen star, can still cause terrifying effects, such as injury from a mere graze and instant death upon contact.
If it weren't for the incarnation of the Goddess's Tears, who wielded the power of the Chi You Sword, and the rapid movement of the adult Pixiu, the protagonist group would have had absolutely no hope of winning.
It's estimated that even in the world of Fengyun, it could fight the dragon for several rounds.
Of course, due to its lack of sensitivity, the Soldier Demon God is probably no match for the Divine Dragon.
But no matter what, Chi You's army of demon gods was undeniably impressive.
Especially from a national perspective, it is a truly national treasure.
The reason for bringing Gongshu Chou along this time is that we hope this current master of the domineering mechanical arts can replicate the manufacturing technology of the God of Soldiers.
If possible, it would be best to optimize and modify it.
Then, with the help of the Qin state, they created the Twelve Bronze Statues.
And a shrunken version of the Soldier Demon God, similar to a single-person combat mech from a science fiction world.
As for the original "Soldier Demon God," it belongs to Zhang Bairen.
This creation is against the harmony of Heaven and must be personally suppressed and guarded by a successor of the Taoist school.
Both the Chi You Sword and the Dragon Soul are items that Zhang Bairen must obtain.
Half an hour later, Zhang Bairen met Gongshu Chou, as well as Da Siming and Shao Siming.
After Zhang Bairen's explanation, everyone understood the objective of this mission.
Then, Gongshu Chou said that he had been prepared for this.
The disciples and successors of the Gongshu family have been making preparations at the border for many years, and are just waiting for His Majesty's personal order to take immediate action.
Zhang Bairen was somewhat surprised, but not too surprised.
The empire had already been informed of the whereabouts of the Loulan people.
The sheer size of a desert ship would also make it difficult to manufacture in a short period of time.
Therefore, Gongshu Chou was prepared and this was within his expectations.
Chi You's weapons of war, the sealed War God, and ancient mechanical arts—these alone were enough to drive Gongshu Chou into utter madness.
