Chapter Forty-Four: Gathering Dragon Qi

  Zhao Feiyu helplessly lowered his head, waved his hand at me and said: Forget it, considering you're an idiot when it comes to Feng Shui, I'll just go around you. Empty One, you don't understand either, let me think about how to explain this.

  After finishing speaking, Zhao Feiyu walked away to continue his research. I exchanged a glance with Kong Yi, and neither of us understood what Zhao Feiyu meant by "terrifying".

  Kong Yizi was calmly starting to chant scriptures on one side, and I had nothing to do but sit on the other side playing with the meteorite. Before long, Zhao Feiyu suddenly shouted from over there: "Hurry up and come here! Young Master knows how to get this dragon energy out! Come quickly!"

  I and Kong Yili immediately stood up and ran towards Zhao Feiyu, at this time Zhao Feiyu had already squatted down to start drawing talismans. I and Kong Yili didn't say a word, quietly waiting for Zhao Feiyu to finish drawing the talismans.

  When Zhao Feiyu's pen tip touched the talisman paper, the pen he was holding began to move quickly. Kong Yiyi and I watched nervously on one side. Although the talismans of Taoist and my yin-yang have different uses and purposes, the things that need to be observed when drawing talismans are still exactly the same.

  When I saw Zhao Feiyu's brush tip shaking slightly when he was halfway through painting, I knew that this talisman paper was ruined.

  After finishing drawing, Zhao Feiyu didn't even look at it and threw the talisman paper to one side. He took out another blank talisman and was about to start writing when I grabbed him.

  "You can't calm down now, and drawing would be a waste of time." I said seriously to Zhao Feiyu.

  It's common sense that anyone can understand, how could Zhao Feiyu not know?

  Zhao Feiyu nodded, gently putting down the demon-suppressing brush. He looked up again at the gathering place of the dragon energy and said with some worry: Do you still remember that last time when Qingzi came here to post the symbols? There were two people, one tall and one short.

  I nodded slightly, of course I knew. That time I almost killed someone, how could I forget? Kong Yat knew that Zhao Feiyu wouldn't casually mention this matter, so he asked: What's wrong? What happened? Right! Where are those two people now? At the time we didn't see them at all when we came out of the tomb!

  At this point, Zhao Feiyu nodded slightly with some annoyance and continued: I asked Master privately where those two people went. But every time Master's answer to me was to let them go... Xiaolin, Kong Yi. You two may not be able to see the feng shui, but there is a hint of blood light in that dragon energy, you should be able to see it, right?

  After Zhao Feiyu finished speaking, Kong Yiyi and I looked at the dragon energy again with a serious expression. Just as Zhao Feiyu said, there was indeed a faint blood light inside. Could it be that Zhao Feiyu meant that Old Man Guo killed those two people?

  Kong Yi looked at the dragon energy and said seriously: Indeed, there is a hint of blood light, but you can't be sure that's what Guo Shu meant. Besides, we three are now unclear about our situation. Have you ever thought about why Ying Zheng would ask the nine officials these three questions? First, he wants the dragon energy here, second, he wants the son of the official, and third, he wants Xiao Lin. Ying Zheng's brain is absolutely useful, and he must have a use for these three things. It's just... we're not clear about it now.

  I didn't have time to think about it that much, the dragon energy was stained with blood light, there is only one explanation. The other side wants to pollute this dragon energy. If the dragon energy is polluted, the natural power will be stronger, but who would do such a thing?

  "Calm down." I patted Zhao Feiyu's shoulder and said. "Wait a bit to draw the talisman, I'll think of a way to extract the Blood Light Qi, you recite the Heart-Calming Incantation a few more times before drawing the talisman. Kong Yi, help me with the protection spell."

  Kong Yat sat down beside Zhao Feiyu, with prayer beads tied to his hand, and began to recite scriptures. Zhao Feiyu also listened to my words and started meditating quietly on the side.

  I started searching for tools in my backpack, and when I took out a piece of smooth black stone, I felt a bit nervous. It's said that this stone is called Tricolor Stone, which was nurtured between the underworld and the human world. Although it looks similar to stones in the human world, its use is quite different.

  This stone can take away the yin souls from the underworld. If Zhao Feiyu didn't lie, then the two people's souls must be inside the dragon energy. However, if this three-colored stone is not controlled well, it will become a tool to help the yin souls grow stronger. My dad had repeatedly warned me that unless absolutely necessary, I should never use this stone.

  I took out another pill that Old Guo gave me today and swallowed it, feeling a bit better. Then I walked to the bottom of the Dragon Qi with the three-colored stone in hand.

  "I'll tell you guys first, I've never used this thing before either. If it fails, the three of us are dead for sure, so mentally prepare yourselves." I turned around and said seriously to Kong Yi and Zhao Feiyu.

  Zhao Feiyu was originally reciting a meditation mantra, but after hearing my words, he opened his eyes and scolded me: "Young master has followed you to the underworld who knows how many times! What's there to be afraid of? Get it over with! Stop talking nonsense!"

  At that time, I really wanted to throw a stone at Zhao Feiyu. But there was still something right to do, forget it, let him off.

  I muttered the incantation in my mouth, and I began to want to find those dark souls in the dragon energy. I saw two clusters of blood-colored light spots wandering in the dragon energy, and I originally wanted to call out their names, but I found that I didn't know who they were surnamed.

  I subconsciously dispersed the yin energy of the Tricolor Stone outward. When those two yin spirits discovered the yin energy, they recklessly wanted to rush outwards. But it seemed like something was blocking their way.

  The only way for them to come out is to rely on their own strength. What I can do to help them is to further spread the yin energy and entice them to have even greater power. Apart from this, I don't know what else I can do.

  I once again emitted an even stronger yin energy, and even the nearby Kong Yi and Zhao Feiyu both went "hmm". It was clear that they were quite disgusted by this yin energy, and I felt the same way.

  The dark energy emanating from the three-colored stone is like a magnet, and I see those two lights recklessly charging towards the three-colored stone. Still not enough, still not enough...

  I release an even stronger aura for the third time...

  When I collected those two light spots into the three-colored stone, I found that I was already sweating profusely. Kong Yi and Zhao Feiyu were the same. I dispersed the yin energy and made this place as clean as possible.

  Zhao Feiyu took another look at the dragon energy and nodded his head to me, saying: Much better. Now you can easily absorb the dragon energy.

  I nodded and went to rest on one side. I was holding the three-colored stone, but for a while, I didn't know how to deal with the things inside. After thinking about it, I put the three-colored stone in front of him and said: "Let them pass."

  Kong Yizi looked at me in surprise for a moment, but soon he was smiling. He took the three-colored stone and asked me: When did you become so kind-hearted?

  I rolled my eyes and said honestly: I just can't think of a way to deal with these things.

  "Amitabha, even if it's like this, it still means you, Kobayashi..."

  "Stop it, stop it. Don't educate me, you handle it well." I interrupted Kong Yat's words, not wanting him to continue educating me.

  Kong Yizi smiled and took the three-colored stone to the other side, where he began to recite scriptures.

  I leaned against a rock and felt extremely tired, so I closed my eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

  When I woke up, I found myself lying on the bed in my room. I sat up and looked around, only to find that Wang Xiao and Zhao Feiyu were also fast asleep. Instinctively, I reached for my watch - 1 o'clock?

  I don't remember what else happened yesterday, I just remember being very tired and wanting to rest.

  I walked out quietly and saw Old Guo practicing Tai Chi in the courtyard. I said with some helplessness: "You're just starting your morning exercise now?"

  Old Guo didn't stop what he was doing with his hands, but still replied: It's just a casual fight.

  After finishing, Old Guo made a gathering gesture. Turning around and looking at me, he asked: "You've finally woken up? You were too tired yesterday, you even fell asleep while going out on a mission, it was empty who carried you back. Thank him properly later."

  I shrugged and explained: I was too tired yesterday, severely overdrawn. Besides, this is also the first time sleeping in, don't make it a habit.

  "The following days will be even more tiring, can you hold on?" Old Guo was very certain. I also don't know where his confidence came from."

  I found a chair to sit down, and said casually: whatever, just let it be. Can't hold on but have to, now there are only four of us left, even if we die, we'll all die together, right?

  Old Guo clearly didn't expect me to say that. He sat beside me, basking in the sun, his eyes half-closed as if he was savoring it.

  I habitually closed my eyes, but discovered something.

  Although there is sunshine, why can't I feel the warmth of the sun? On the contrary, I even feel a bit cold.

  I was frightened by my own thoughts, I stood up and asked Old Man Guo: Uncle Guo, how are you feeling now?

  "What's the feeling?" Old Guo continued to answer me with his eyes half-closed.

  "Is the sun warm?" I asked with a frown.

  "You feel the warmth, and you'll know if it's warm or not. Right? Do you know why I added two yin souls to the dragon energy? Because I wanted to pollute the dragon energy, making its power even stronger. But when Old Mu came looking for me, I knew I shouldn't have done that at the time. Now all of this should be understood, so yesterday I allowed you to go retrieve the dragon energy. These are probably the last moments of leisure before the war..."

  Mr. Guo's words were spoken calmly and unhurriedly, as if he had already seen through everything. I listened on the side with a chill running down my spine, but I understood one thing.

  Mr. Guo had known all along that this would happen, but he didn't stop it.

  "Why not stop?" I looked at Old Guo with some indignation and asked.

  "What Heaven has ordained, man cannot alter. Besides, what Qin Shi Huang has arranged, I think can't be stopped even if one wants to." Old Guo said slowly.

  My first reaction at that time was to go up and slap him.

  Guo Lao Tou knew that Huang was actually Ying Zheng!

  I don't know if Old Guo saw the look of surprise on my face, but he added another sentence: If even the Emperor Qin Shi Huang didn't know, do you think I, as one of the Three Dukes, would be unaware?
