Chapter 411 True Dragon Ascends to Immortality and Returns to Hanzhong [Subscribe]

The patterns on the drum surface shimmer, creating layers of ripples.

The drum seemed to contain an ocean.

Cao Cao integrated the country's destiny, and after completing the ritual, ripples began to appear on the drum from time to time, and faint roars of beasts could be heard.

At this moment, he vaguely heard the fighting of thousands of troops, the thunder of heaven and earth, and the shaking of mountains and rivers.

The sound of the drums makes people's blood boil unconsciously.

"This is the lost war drum - Shanhe Ling."

Yao Jing was also beside Cao Cao, her beautiful eyes showing a hint of surprise.

She was a unique music master of the contemporary era. When Cao Cao found something unusual about the Kui Lei drum, he called her over.

The drumbeats were not very loud, but they were constantly changing, high-pitched and passionate, sometimes as fast as thunder, sometimes as fast as lightning.

This drum even comes with its own accompaniment, and it passes down the method of beating it in the style of Shanhe Ling... Cao Cao thought to himself.

He ordered his men to carry the Kui Lei drum to Hanzhong to scare Big Ear.

The war of unification has special significance and must be punctuated with a sense of ritual.

Cao Cao is preparing to set out tomorrow.

The sunset is like fire.

He held Yao Jing's little hand and returned to the inner house.

The wives and concubines gathered in the main hall of the backyard, and the atmosphere was somewhat serious.

Knowing that Cao Cao was going to the battlefield, even Yu Qing and Du Xiu Niang, who were usually carefree, couldn't help but worry.

"Of all the wars, this one is the least dangerous. My husband will be home soon."

Cao Cao looked at the beautiful women in front of him and said: "If you are reluctant to leave me as your husband, why don't you all get together in the evening?"

These words coming out of Cao Cao's mouth don't sound serious.

All the wives and concubines smiled.

Even though we weren't together at night.

But of course, we can’t avoid practicing separately and interacting in depth.

early morning.

Cao Cao came to the quiet room to breathe in and out, and practice.

Then, he looked at the situation of Totem True Dragon and Dao Zun.

Kunlun Ruins.

Dao Zun and others tried a different method in front of the jade disk with the immortal's words.

Below the Feixian Cliff, it was like an abyss, unfathomable.

The hundred-foot distance from the point where the ancient road is broken to the Feixian Wall is a restricted area, where a terrifying force exists.

But if you go down from the flank of the ancient road, you can enter an area surrounded by fog, adjacent to the restricted area.

Dao Zun and Totem True Dragon personally sank into the fog below to begin exploration.

Both have the ability to pass through the void and sink straight down.

They were currently standing still under the ancient road, somewhere in the abyss, motionless.

Cao Cao looked down through the perspective of the totem dragon.

But in the mist, there was the outline of a huge tree.

The trees are filled with layers of rosy clouds and thousands of precious auras.

I had seen a similar scene the last time when I found the edge of the fog with the help of the Three Emperors Coffin in the belly of the mountain.

But this time the distance was closer and clearer.

"Look at the left side of that immortal tree!" Taoist muttered.

In the thick fog, next to the fairy tree surrounded by rosy clouds, a dark yellow figure quietly emerged and wandered around the fairy tree.

From the position of the totem dragon, the area of ​​the fairy tree is as big as a city, and the shadow that appears is also of astonishing size. It is hazy in the fog and extremely mysterious.

"Is it a dark yellow dragon?"

"Look at its head."

Above the swimming dragon shadow, between the two horns, there seems to be a long strip of object.

"There's a coffin on the dragon's head!"

Dao Zun said, "If it is a coffin, then someone is trying to steal the immortal secrets and bury themselves in this land of immortals and demons, creating a situation where a true dragon can ascend to immortality."

"A true dragon ascends to heaven?"

"Yes, the ancients believed that this was the most likely way to allow the body to transform into a living being after death."

"If the dragon shadow is carrying a coffin, it must be an emperor's coffin."

"The land of immortals and demons deep in Kunlun Ruins is inhumane. Anyone who approaches without permission will die."

“That dragon shadow is most likely the thick earth dragon transformed from the source of the earth veins.

According to the secret teachings of our Taoist sect, in ancient times, Emperor Huangdi once obtained a strand of earth veins, which he used to transform into a yellow dragon and ascend to heaven.

The second person in the world to obtain the Earth Source Qi was Emperor Qin, who transformed himself into the Ancestral Dragon of the Soul."

Cao Cao passed the totem dragon and said:

"Why do I feel like you are setting a trap for me? I am the only one in the world who controls the destiny of humanity.

You also said that the two emperors obtained the aura of the earth and transformed into the Yellow Dragon and the Zulong.

From what you said, if this dragon shadow is really formed by the earth's energy, it is just right for me.

Let me make it clear first, I will not push the destiny of humanity to explore the area ahead."

Dao Zun was speechless and said, "I am just telling the truth."

Cao Cao's mind moved slightly. The mythological hint in the entry also said that there was a source of earth veins in Kunlun Mountain. After absorbing it, it is hoped that a dragon soul of the same level as the Ancestral Dragon could be transformed.

The push of the entry and what Dao Zun said do echo each other.

It should be true.

Regarding the source of the earth veins, Cao Cao has never consumed the mythological direction to obtain the corresponding method of acquisition.

Because I'm not sure how useful it is to me.

Mythology points to something too rare, so use it with caution.

Unexpectedly, without any pointing, I have found the location of this source of light.

He focused on the dragon carrying the coffin and said, "Let's explore the surrounding area."

Dao Zun and Totem True Dragon changed direction and explored the nearby area.

Cao Cao withdrew his thoughts and opened his eyes in the quiet room.

It was bright outside the window.

Diao Chan was just coming out from the inner hall and helping him put on the royal robe.

"My husband, please be careful when you go out. We will wait for you to come back home." Diao Chan said softly.

Cao Cao pinched her beautiful face and walked away calmly.

Yin followed Diao Chan and growled, meaning to urge Diao Chan to go out with Cao Cao.

Diao Chan whispered, "I can't follow my husband every time he goes out, otherwise it would be like competing for favor. If you want to go, go ahead." Yin jumped for joy.

It urged Diao Chan because it wanted to go itself.

After getting the answer, he started to run.

Suddenly there was another roar, and a tigress jumped out from the room next door and held out her front paws. Yin rubbed the tigress's paws with his own big paws and ran away contentedly.

The tigers of the Cao family usually touch each other's paws when saying goodbye.

In the outer courtyard of Cao's mansion, Jia Xu and his family lived.

At this time, Jia Wenhe was packing his things for the trip.

There was a row of boxes in front of him.

These are all the family fortune he saved.

In one of the opened boxes, there were three small swords, four shield-shaped protective devices, two ornament-shaped protective gear, seven scroll-shaped protective gear with incantations, six copper plate-shaped protective gear, and two sets of soft armor-like close-fitting protective gear.

With these rows of boxes placed together, Jia Xu felt very safe.

He had already taken out the protective items ready for the trip, thought carefully, and finally took out two more items before closing the box, feeling quite safe.

His wife, Ms. Xu, who was of average appearance and dressed simply, came in from outside:
"Is it dangerous for my husband to go out this time?"

Jia Xu shook his head: "If my judgment is correct, there should be no danger this time."

Xu: "Then why do you have so many protective equipment?"

Jia Xu: "Be more prepared to avoid any accidents."

"After I go with the king, my dear wife, you stay at home and focus on raising your children. Try to avoid going out as much as possible.

The world has just been settled, and I am a close minister to the king. I may be targeted by others and start with you."

Xu rolled her eyes subconsciously, and said something scary every time.

Jia Xu not only gave instructions, but also made many arrangements to protect his wife and children.

Its security level is second only to Cao Cao's family.

Everything was ready, Jia Xu came out from the inner courtyard happily.

When he reached the door, he happened to see Cao Cao walking out of the mansion.

Outside the palace, there were already many cavalrymen standing by, ready to go, full of murderous intent.

Cao Cao climbed onto the horse's back, holding the reins.

The three horses, Red Hare, Jueying and Yellow Claw, neighed in unison.

There were quite a few civil and military officials accompanying them on this trip.

The war of unification will surely go down in history.

Anyone who was qualified within Cao's camp wanted to join in the fun.

Even Xun Yu was tempted to go and take a look.

But he was busy with his work and could only think about it.

Jia Xu, Guo Jia, Xun You, and Cheng Yu all accompanied him south.

In terms of military generals, there are two generals, Dian and Xu.

After leaving the city, there were three thousand black armors outside the city.

The brave general in the front row, wearing shining silver armor and with a fluttering white cloak, was Zhao Yun.

When fighting Liu Bei, Zhao Yun must be brought along.

This is Boss Cao’s unique interest.

Huang Zhong has to be stationed in the Western Regions and cannot be left without him, otherwise Cao Cao would have called him along as well.

There is no fighting on the northern front right now. After the Xianbei were defeated, there was internal turmoil and we would not dare to raise troops again this year.

It is enough to leave Zhang Liao on the northern front to lead the troops and guard the border.

After receiving the order, Zhao Yun rode back from the North Gate in high spirits.

Seeing Cao Cao leaving the city, he got off his horse and knelt on one knee.

"No need to be polite, Zilong."

Zhao Yun stood up, mounted his horse again, and rode along beside Cao Cao.

Three thousand black armors travel south.

Cao Cao crossed the Yellow River, and Ma Chao also rushed over from Hexi to meet him.

When he saw Cao Cao, Ma Chao's face was full of joy.

He thought that the king valued him so much that he came all the way here, and he felt great.

No one knew that Cao Cao wanted to use Liu Bei's men to fight Liu Bei, just as he felt like it.

The team also included Gongsun Du and his son, who had just returned from Liaodong.

Gongsun Du wanted to see with his own eyes how powerful Cao Wei’s army was.

In June, the rice in the fields had just formed stalks, swaying heavily in the wind.

Jia Xu came over and handed Cao Cao several letters.

It turned out that it was several noble families in Yizhou who asked someone to use their connections to send the letter of surrender.

While these nobles gathered to discuss ways to resist Cao, they were also secretly trying to find connections and make peace by stealing holes in other people's houses.

The purpose of their letter was to hope to be pardoned by Cao Cao.

Several families were willing to hand over their property, only begging Cao Cao to spare their lives.

After doing bad things and realizing that they cannot escape death, they say they will mend their ways.

If Cao Cao accepted their offer to buy his life, what binding force would the law have?

Wouldn't it be better to kill them all and take their wealth as conscripts?

Cao Cao's troops marched south, out of Jizhou, passed Yanzhou, and then turned to advance in the southwest direction.

In early July, Cao Cao came to Hanzhong for the second time.

Zhang Lu led his men to welcome Cao Cao at the east entrance of Hanzhong.

"Your humble servant pays respect to His Majesty."

Zhang Lu held a grand ceremony:
"Although I am in Hanzhong, I have heard of your majesty's reputation. You defeated the Xianbei in the north, killed tens of thousands of enemies, and shocked the world. We in Hanzhong only regret that we cannot follow your majesty and spread the great power of Wei."

Cao Cao motioned for everyone to stand up and speak.

Continuing west, we arrived at the capital of Hanzhong.

At this time, Yizhou was in a state of panic.

Liu Bei led his troops and stationed in the north of Yizhou, where the two armies confronted each other.

The first thing Cao Cao did when he arrived in Hanzhong was surprising. He asked Zhang Lu, "Do you have portraits of your ancestors?"

Zhang Lu was stunned for a moment: "Yes."

"Bring it to me and see."
