What the old dragon said was the first information that Ji Yuan had learned recently about other immortal cultivators taking action, especially Yu Huaishan from Dazhen Jizhou.
However, Lao Long was only a little concerned about the surrounding situation because of the previous incident with the True Demon. The specific details were only known to the two parties involved. Unless there was an accident, he would not take the initiative to contact Yu Huaishan.
"Mr. Ji, since this has happened, do you plan to contact Yu Huaishan? Anyway, I will not deal with that group of 'immortals'."
Lao Long deliberately stretched out the pronunciation of the word "Xianchang", which was just a disrespectful joke he would make in front of Ji Yuan.
Ji Yuan's expression was not as relaxed as Lao Long's.
"The vague predictions of Tianji Pavilion leaked out, and Dazhen only attracted some attention. However, Yuhuaishan is different. If it is not handled well, it will be at the center of controversy."
Lao Long looked at Ji Yuan and couldn't help but say something.
"Look at the bright side. If what the Tianji Pavilion has predicted is true, and Yu Huai Mountain can seize this opportunity of the rise of Dazhen Qi, it may become famous all over the world. After all, Yu Geda Mountain does have some background. The rumored imperial edict is true, and it is a mountain edict that can determine a mountain god. It's just that Yu Huai Mountain doesn't have anyone who can change the edict, so it can only suppress the mountain gate."
"Hmm? Is that true?"
Ji Yuan was also stunned. It turned out to be the mountain edict. Old Dragon’s words were always trustworthy, but he still couldn’t help but ask another question.
"Mr. Ji, you didn't know? I thought you were already aware of this since you were temporarily living in Jizhou."
The cause of the problem is far away.
"I have already told the old gentleman that I know very little about the current affairs of the cultivation world, and this is not a joke."
Lao Long frowned, thought for a moment and then continued the topic.
"Yu Huaishan has the Mountain Edict. In fact, the people in Yu Huaishan are very smart. They have not concealed this matter for a long time and deliberately fanned the flames. Instead, people who know about it believe that this matter is false and is just a matter of Fengying that Yu Huaishan wants to boost its reputation."
"Then how did Mr. Ying know this?"
"Hehe, as for me, I had some conflicts with Yu Huai Shan when I turned into a dragon. After I became a real dragon, I wanted to go to Yu Huai Shan to cause trouble for them. If it weren't for the mountain talisman that suppressed Yu Cui Shan with its mountain force, that little jade lump would have been cut off by my dragon tail long ago!"
Ji Yuan felt a little helpless. It was true that people of the dragon sign should not be offended easily, but he still had to say a few fair words.
"When the old gentleman turned into a dragon and caused a flood in Jizhou, it was only natural for the monks from Yuhuaishan to come and stop it. Since you have been able to bring rain to Jizhou for two hundred years, why do you still hold a grudge against Yuhuaishan?"
Lao Long grinned and looked at his friend.
"Mr. Ji knows that I am not a barbaric person. It would be fine if Yu Huaishan really came out to stop the flood when it was at its worst. Like the former City God of Du Mingfu, although he has long been extinct, I still respect him. But that group of bastards, I remember it was led by a young boy named Zi Yu Zhenren. Afterwards, when I entered the river and headed for the sea, they thought I was exhausted and wanted to cut off the river to cut off my dragon path. How can this be tolerated!"
As the old dragon spoke, dragon energy emanated from the corners of his mouth, causing the branches and leaves of the jujube tree in the yard to tremble slightly.
Okay, Ji Yuan stopped talking.
It stands to reason that things like temporarily avoiding the attack before taking action do make sense, but in the end, this kind of thing should be dealt with by both parties involved at their own discretion, and Yu Huaishan couldn't have been unaware of the commotion when the City God of Du Mingfu shattered his golden body and shook the Chijiao. Afterwards, the Chijiao obviously spent more effort to restrain itself and change its course, and that incident happened after it entered the river. It can't be said to be wrong, but it inevitably made the old dragon angry.
It is no wonder that the old dragon would cause trouble after entering the sea and transforming into a real dragon. As for whether it settled in Tongtian River afterwards, that is another matter.
"Well, he stopped me once and I responded once, so now it's over and we won't talk about the past anymore."
To be honest, Ji Yuan felt that Lao Long also knew that he was the one who caused the flood first. Otherwise, with his personality, how could he just let this grudge go after causing trouble once
"It's better for me to deal with Yu Huaishan alone..."
"That's it!"
Lao Long suddenly laughed, as if he was waiting for Ji Yuan to say this, and then added another sentence.
"To be honest, I always feel that if the things that Tianji Pavilion calculated are related to Yu Huaishan, it would be better to say that they are more related to Mr. Ji. Hehe, Yu Huaishan is not qualified!"
Since family members know about their own affairs, they just smile and say nothing.
Most of the things the two talked about afterwards were related to the rumors about Tianji Pavilion. As the saying goes, the person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it. In fact, Tianji Pavilion is the real boss and they pay as much attention to that place as they do to Dazhen. It’s just that things in the outside world are out of their reach for the time being.
. . .
The Wei family of Desheng Prefecture has been active behind the scenes recently, but the outside world is not aware of it.
The main reason is that Wei Wuwei acts very low-key and secretively, and the various families he contacts are all concerned with key matters of their own interests and will not publicize anything to the outside world, so no one knows what the Wei family is doing.
In fact, since Mr. Ji’s visit to the Wei Mansion, Wei Wuwei went to see the old man again, and then decisively decided to speed up the preparations.
Before, it was uncertain whether Wei Wuwei could enter Yuhuai Mountain by himself, so it was better to delay rather than delay, and give Xiao Yuansheng more time to prepare. Now that the mysterious Mr. Ji has guaranteed it, it is a sure thing, so it is better to do it sooner rather than later.
This day is the ninth day of the fifth lunar month, and the Dragon Boat Festival has just passed a few days ago. However, here in Jizhou, it is called the Dragon Boat Festival. Although others can understand it and call it the Dragon Boat Festival, few people say so.
There was no Qu Yuan in the history of this world, so the origin of the Dragon Boat Festival naturally lacks this part of the legend. It is mainly due to factors such as the evolution of ancient celestial worship to the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, but there are also rice dumplings.
Early in the morning, two riders came back to the gate of Wei's mansion on horseback. After dismounting and explaining to the gatekeeper, they hurried inside.
A moment later, in a hall somewhere in the mansion, Wei Wuwei was holding a cup of tea and listening to the report from two servants.
"Mr. Ji accepted the rice dumplings and snacks sent by the patriarch. He was especially happy to see the jars of Qianrichun. He said it was very thoughtful!"
Wei Wuwei smiled when he heard this.
"Master, since you value Mr. Ji so much, why don't you go there in person?"
These two servants were obviously deeply trusted by Wei Wuwei, which was why they dared to ask such a question.
Wei Wuwei shook his head and took a sip of tea before answering.
"You don't understand. This is good. It doesn't seem deliberate and it values affection. It doesn't annoy people. By the way, didn't Mr. Ji say anything else?"
"No."
"Well, that's fine, you guys go down."
"Yes Yes!"
The two servants bowed and retreated, but when they were halfway there, Wei Wuwei suddenly called out from behind and asked a question.
"By the way, is the jujube tree in bloom?"
"Return home, the whole Tianniufang is filled with fragrance."
Wei Wuwei muttered, "As expected," and waved his hand to signal the two to leave.
Although he hesitated about whether to wait until the jujube trees bore fruit before setting off, Wei Wuwei did not want to leave too deliberate an impression on Mr. Ji, so he finally set off with his son on May 15th.
The people who accompanied him included Wei Wuwei's uncle and a group of Wei family's skilled servants. Wei's mother cried for most of the night before, and it seemed like a farewell of life and death.
The exact distance between Desheng Prefecture and Yuhuai Mountain is about eight or nine hundred miles, which is nearly halfway through Jizhou. This is the straight-line distance. In the middle, one has to go around and through Yucui Mountain. The Wei family estimates that it will take about half a month.
The implementation was similar. About ten days later, the Wei family temporarily parked the carriage in the village at the foot of the mountain, took the supplies and started walking into the mountain together.
Except for Wei Yuansheng, all the others were warriors with martial arts skills. After five days of climbing over mountains and crossing ridges in Yucui Mountain, they finally reached the outskirts of Yunwu Mountain.
In the past few days, they have picked wild fruits, slaughtered wild animals, been bitten by poisonous insects and suffered from bad weather, and finally arrived at their destination.
At this moment, they were on a mountain ridge, and the Wei family members were standing here in a slightly embarrassed manner, gazing at the distant direction shrouded in clouds and mist, while Wei Yuansheng was lying quietly on the back of a servant.
"Okay, you guys stop here. Yuansheng and I will be the only ones going in."
Wei Wuwei's words were relatively calm, but he was a little nervous inside. He subconsciously touched the brocade bag in his arms and felt much more at ease. Inside was the paper crane given by Mr. Ji.
"Yuansheng, get on daddy's back."
"oh…"
Wei Yuansheng was carefully lifted by the servants and placed on Wei Wuwei's back, and he hugged his father's neck obediently.
"Master...if things can't be done, come back! I will wait here for two months!"
Wei Wuwei smiled at the only elder present at the moment.
"Uncle, don't worry. My Wei family has the help of gods and people. We will never fail. It's hard in the mountains, so please be careful and take care!"
"Take care, master! Take care, young master!" "Take care, master! Take care, young master!"
…
All the servants bowed and saluted. At this moment, Wei Wuwei felt a little sad. Xiao Yuansheng hugged his father's strong neck tightly, but he didn't cry.
"gone!"
As soon as Wei Wuwei finished speaking, he leaped forward and soon disappeared into the fog ahead.
