After eating for a while, Wenming put down his chopsticks and said to everyone: "You are all heroes in Daxia, and I asked Honger to invite you all here today to discuss state affairs."
Wenming paused here, glanced at the crowd below, and continued: "You all know that Daxia has dragon veins. It is precisely because of the existence of dragon veins that Daxia has been able to continue for more than 4,000 years without decline. However, in the past few hundred years, the dragon veins of Daxia have long disappeared, so many turbulent things have happened. In the past few hundred years, Daxia has suffered various humiliations one after another. Even some small countries dare to bully Daxia. I am very sad! Although Daxia has gradually become stronger under Hong'er's governance in the past few decades, and has a tendency to recover to the level of hundreds of years ago, this is only a temporary solution. As long as the dragon veins are not found, Daxia may suffer a catastrophic disaster again at any time."
Li Mu raised his eyebrows. Is this fate so direct?
“Saint Yu, I am a guilty minister Zhang Teng who has failed the expectations of Daxia. The last dragon vein was destroyed in my hands!” Zhang Teng, the Yuanying ancestor of Taishan Sect, stood up tremblingly and knelt on the ground.
"This matter is not your fault. It was done by aliens, and you or your Taishan sect cannot fight against it. Fellow Daoist Li Mu should have a say about aliens!" After saying this, Xi Wenming looked at Li Mu.
Then he said: "Daoist Fellow Li Mu, how about you tell us about this alien race?"
"I don't know more than you." Li Mu waved his hand.
"Haha, Fellow Daoist Li Mu is too modest. You were the first one to bring up the matter of alien races, otherwise we would still be kept in the dark." Si Wenming said with a smile.
"Yes, but those aliens are too cunning and cowardly. I haven't found any trace of them until now." Li Mu said lightly.
"So you are all wrong, fellow Taoist? You judged them as aliens based solely on the case of Yao Bing. Even if Yao Bing is an alien, how can you determine that there are other aliens? You said that the mysterious man on Mount Tai was an alien, but there is no substantial evidence, right?" said Wenming.
The others present also nodded. After all, the matter of the alien race was just Li Mu's one-sided statement. They didn't really take it to heart. How could there be such a powerful race? Even if there was an alien invasion, the earth now was not what it used to be. The ancient saints had returned. No matter how powerful the alien race was, they would still suffer a loss if they came to the earth!
"What you said does make sense. Maybe I was wrong, haha~" Li Mu smiled faintly and did not argue with Xi Wenming. He wanted to see what Xi Wenming was going to do next.
"Fellow Daoist Li Mu, it's not that I don't believe you, but there is really no evidence to prove the existence of alien races so far." Xi Wenming said with an embarrassed look on his face.
Li Mu nodded slightly, indicating that he didn't care.
"Then let's continue to discuss the dragon veins. The dragon vein of Mount Tai was stolen by unknown people, but my Great Xia has more than one dragon vein in Mount Tai. The other four mountains, Songshan, Huashan, Hengshan, and Hengshan also have dragon veins, but they have disappeared long ago. What do you think?" said Wenming.
Everyone was shocked. How could Daxia have so many dragon veins? It was the first time they heard that the other four mountains were also the locations of dragon veins.
"Saint Yu, my Songshan Sect has never heard of the dragon vein before. However, since Senior Li Mu visited our sect last time, we have attached great importance to it. After searching a large number of ancient books, we did find a clue." said Zhou Yiqing, the head of the Songshan Sect.
"Tell me about it." said Wenming with a smile.
"It roughly means that more than 2,200 years ago, a tyrant...Emperor Gaozong rebelled and overthrew the Great Xia regime. Even our Songshan School could not escape the disaster. All the disciples at that time were driven down from Songshan. When they returned to Songshan a few years later, everything had changed and many things had been emptied out. In fact, the Songshan that has been passed down now was only built by a third-generation disciple after the disaster. The ancestor was very secretive about what happened back then and did not allow his disciples to discuss it. These secrets were only secretly recorded by an ancestor at the time, and he used extremely covert code words. After discovering this ancient book, our Songshan School deciphered it overnight, and only recently we roughly understood the content above, but we cannot confirm whether the content above is true or false." Zhou Yiqing said hesitantly.
"Our Hengshan Sect also has this legend." said an old man.
There was silence all around. What the two leaders meant was that the disappearance of the dragon vein was related to Emperor Shi Huang's Emperor Gao Zheng? But Gao Zheng was a descendant of Yu Sheng. In this case, wouldn't it be that all this was to blame on Gao's family? Or Yu Sheng? Yu Sheng was sitting right above them. They didn't dare to speak, so they just pretended they didn't hear anything!
"These are all groundless speculations. Although Wei Zheng almost overthrew the regime of our Great Xia, he still made many reforms that were beneficial to Great Xia. He could be said to have the world in his heart. It is impossible for him to do something that would destroy the foundation of our Great Xia. Ancestor, what do you think?" Wei Hong, who was sitting next to Wei Wenming, spoke at this time. After all, Wei Zheng was a member of their Wei family, an ancestor-level figure, and in his heart, Wei Zheng had always been his idol, but he had never mentioned it to others, so naturally he had to speak well of Wei Zheng.
"Huashan Sect, Hengshan Sect, what about you? Do you have any clues in this regard?" Ignoring Xi Hong, Xi Wenming asked the leaders of the Huashan Sect and the Hengshan Sect.
“Saint Yu, although our Huashan Sect’s ancient books from more than 2,000 years ago were indeed lost long ago, there is no clue pointing to Gao Zheng.” The leader of the Huashan Sect said after thinking for a long time.
"The ancient books of Hengshan School were all destroyed in a fire 1,300 years ago. After they were re-arranged, we can only find some events before 1,800 years. Moreover, the events recorded in the re-arranged 500 years were also intermittent, and a lot of things were lost in the middle." The head of Hengshan School said with a wry smile.
"So, there is no way to verify what happened to you more than 2,200 years ago? And that era was the time when Zheng'er was in power. It would be fine if it happened to one or two families, but it is too much of a coincidence that the inheritance of your four families was cut off at the same time more than 2,200 years ago. It seems that this matter is inseparable from Zheng'er." Zheng Wenming sighed.
"Xiao Lin, does your Tianxuan Sect have any records about what happened 2,200 years ago?" asked Wei Wenming to Lin Ruxuan.
"I have just sent a message to the sect. They are now looking for ancient books. Please wait a moment, Saint Yu." Lin Ruxuan said to Wei Wenming.
Wenming nodded. Lin Ruxuan was quite careful. Then he said to the people below: "Please convey this news to the sect and ask them to investigate the incident of more than 2,200 years ago as soon as possible. It concerns the fate of our country, so you can't be careless!"
"We will certainly cooperate with you fully!" everyone said respectfully, and then each of them took out their satellite phones to convey instructions to the people in their sect.
