Chapter 1334

"It is a blessing, but also a curse." He Lingchuan pondered for a while before saying, "You know my plan for Shining Gold, right?" "I know, you are interested in this hard bone." The mirror has been by its master's side every moment, witnessing his actions bit by bit. If there is one thing in this world besides the Heavenly Dao that can see He Lingchuan's every move, it must be the Soul-Sucking Mirror.

He Lingchuan's Yangshan plan originally intended to advance on three fronts and lay out secretly.

First is to strengthen the Yuanxiang Society and get to know and win over more people of insight, young talents.

These people have seen the world and opened their eyes outside, sighing at the prosperity of big countries and the poverty of Shining Gold, naturally deeply dissatisfied with the status quo here, and have the motivation and desire for change.

Moreover, most of them are very young; although they are not the highest rulers in the local area, their identities are either rich or expensive, they have power in their hands, and ambitions in their hearts. This is the group of people on the Shining Gold Plain with the most advanced consciousness and the easiest to be united by He Lingchuan.

The Yangshan Chamber of Commerce is walking into the Shining Gold Plain with a peaceful and friendly posture right now, and they are not only not repelling He Lingchuan but are very welcoming. So far, this line is progressing smoothly.

Secondly, He Lingchuan incarnated as the black-armored leader, taking the Black-Armored Army to meddle in everything everywhere, oh no, punishing evil and promoting good, and also using various means such as storytellers to promote and spread the deeds of the Black-Armored Army everywhere, just to win the recognition of another powerful force hidden on the Shining Gold Plain.

This force is rarely valued and rarely tapped.

That is people.

Ordinary people on the Shining Gold Plain.

The mirror has been by He Lingchuan's side for too long, although he has never made it clear, it has realized that this master wants to collect more than just wish power.

The wish power that only the Black Dragon God could collect in the past must be a good thing, but He Lingchuan's goal is far more than that.

He has more prospects and more expectations, otherwise, with his calculating personality, how could he not know that the Black-Armored Army's dedication and risks are not proportional to the benefits.

What he values is the future.

What he expects is to gather people's hearts bit by bit.

Thirdly, He Lingchuan also has to seize the time to train his core elite.

The so-called "Yangshan Army" he built single-handedly has a mixed composition, including pirates, Bailong tribes, and experts from all walks of life who came to join; although they have undergone strict training, they are still far behind elites like the Dafeng Army in terms of combat level, individual will, and group discipline.

To forge iron, one must be strong oneself; perhaps the people on the Shining Gold Plain will place high hopes on them in the future, but if the Yangshan Army's own level is not good and cannot withstand the destruction of the storm, it will end up in vain.

The three-line layout mentioned above sounds troublesome, but it is actually on track, all proceeding step by step and secretly under He Lingchuan's careful deployment. If it can be executed smoothly to the end, He Lingchuan's progress bar for dominating Shining Gold will be considered 30% complete.

Of course, things don't go as planned seven or eight times out of ten.

Isn't the accident coming now?

"The appearance of the Dragon Head relief will bring us big trouble." Every time He Lingchuan thinks of this, he scratches his head, "I'm afraid our opponent is about to change!"

"Uh, so serious?" The Soul-Sucking Mirror originally thought, isn't it just a few reliefs on the wall, and it only lasted for three days. However, things that can make the master so irritable are usually only Beijia, "Are you afraid of alarming Beijia?"

"More than that." He Lingchuan said slowly, "Before the Dragon Head Totem appeared, most of those investigating the Black-Armored Army were only local natives, and the most powerful were only the Yao Nation and Luodian, etc., as well as a small number of affected wild gods. We can handle these opponents."

He had also drafted countermeasures long ago.

"But after the Dragon Head Totem appeared..." He sighed, "Beijia has been secretly studying this totem. The earliest totem data I got was stolen by Fu Shanyue from his father's library; the Dragon Head Totem had appeared in the Yuan Nation and Panlongcheng before, and Lingxu City cannot not know this."

"Coincidentally, well, it can't be said to be a coincidence, these two places have left Beijia unforgettable, and these two places coincidentally have also possessed the Great Fanghu."

Dragon Head Totem, City of Resistance, and Great Fanghu, these three were once closely linked. Now the Dragon Head Totem has appeared again, this is likely the keyword that awakens Beijia's unpleasant memories; will it have more associations?

"After it hears about the deeds of the Black-Armored Army, our opponent may have to upgrade." That is Beijia, "The risk of future actions will probably increase tenfold. By the way, there is also Lingshan."

"Lingshan is also very interested in the Dragon Head Totem." In the Panlong world, Lingshan also sent people to investigate this totem.

It was interested then, what about now? "Oh right, there are also Lingshan and the Mou Nation." The mirror always subconsciously ignores Lingshan, thinking it is on the same boat as He Lingchuan.

"Since it is so dangerous, can we just stop?" The mirror muttered, "At worst, go back to Yangshan!"

Going back to be a small island master... 's magic weapon, without having to fight to the death with people, and getting some Emperor Flowing Pulp to eat when there is nothing to do, doesn't that sound quite happy? "Retreating to Yangshan may not be safe either. If we are really targeted by Beijia, it will be difficult to find a place to hide in the ends of the earth. Besides, as long as we are active in Shining Gold, there will be such a day sooner or later." It's just that this day came unexpectedly fast, "What's more, the Dragon Head Totem has boundless wonderful uses; its appearance is an opportunity that can be met but not sought. Who wouldn't want it if given to them?"

Lingshan said that the Dragon Head Totem represents the blessing of the Heavenly Dao, and the place where it appears can have favorable weather and abundant products; Zhong Shengquan explained that the Dragon Head Totem can prevent Nightmare Qi and spiritual energy from being sucked away by external objects.

Perhaps they are both right, one hit part of the appearance, and the other hit part of the internal cause.

But where the Dragon Head Totem will appear, there is no pattern to figure out for the time being; after all, there are too few templates to refer to.

The mirror is also complaining: "Hey, if this Dragon Head Totem came later, that would be great!"

It knows that the master is not prepared at all! The Yuan Nation rose up within Beijia, and Lingxu used the power of the whole country to encircle and suppress it several times, and it took two years to win; Panlongcheng also faced Beijia directly, struggling for more than twenty years in a situation surrounded by strong enemies. Their strength and resilience come from many reasons, and a part of it must have been obtained from the contribution of the Dragon Head Totem.

For a hegemon of one side and a ruler of a country, fertile territory and abundant spiritual energy mean more food, more population, more troops, and more powerful combat power! The Dragon Head Totem moistens things silently, but it is playing a role every moment.

This kind of place is usually called "a place of spiritual land and outstanding people," and He Lingchuan also covets it to death.

But can he bear higher risks, and can he withstand the gaze from Beijia and Lingshan? Even he himself has no answer.

That's why He Lingchuan said that whether it is a blessing or a curse depends on how to resolve it.

The mirror thought for a while and said: "Why did this totem appear and why did it disappear? You were clearly in Jucheng, why didn't it follow?"

"Yangshan doesn't have it either." As far as the current situation is concerned, only places where the "black-armored leader" appeared and fought will have a short-lived Dragon Head Totem. In other words, his actions after wearing the Qianglong Battle Armor secretly conform to certain principles? Previously, the Yuan Nation and Panlongcheng fought on the front line against the Heavenly Gods; they had elite soldiers and generals, and the army and the people were of one mind, so it is not strange that the Dragon Head Totem could appear.

Conversely, He Lingchuan, the Yangshan army has not undergone large-scale blood and fire tempering at all, neither firm enough nor efficient enough; he himself is still hooking up with wild gods from all walks of life, and is unclear with Beijia. Just like this, he can still get the favor of the Dragon Head Totem, why? That is of course not just because he is wearing the Qianglong Battle Armor.

"Is it because you punish evil and promote good?"

Being blessed by the Heavenly Dao because of punishing evil and promoting good seems to make sense, but seeing Fu Liushan working more diligently than him in this regard, why didn't he get the blessing of the Heavenly Dao?

Whether it is the Heavenly Dao, the Great Fanghu, or the Dragon Head Totem, they are all masters who cannot communicate well.

"Not entirely." He Lingchuan sighed: "And I always calculate a question, why did the blessing of the Heavenly Dao choose the Dragon Head Totem instead of the appearance of other divine beasts? Conversely, is the Dragon Head Totem really the blessing of the Heavenly Dao? Can it not be the blessing of the Black Dragon God himself?"

The mirror was a little confused and said 'wei wei' a few times: "The Black Dragon has already passed away."

The next sentence didn't come out: And you are wearing other people's skin on your body!

"The Black Dragon's cultivation is above that of an immortal, and it is the creature closest to the Heavenly Dao. If it can continue to influence the world in its own way, it makes sense in principle."

"You want to say that it hasn't died to some extent?" The mirror didn't quite agree, "If the Dragon God's influence on this world hasn't disappeared, why did the descendants of the dragon race go to rely on the Heavenly Gods and create Beijia when they were at their wits' end, instead of asking their ancestors for help?"

"No, in my guess, the Dragon God's power may continue to exist in some form." Just like the Panlong world in the Great Fanghu.

Panlongcheng perished long ago, and the moving past events were covered by yellow sand; but the power of Panlongcheng did not truly disappear from the world under the protection of the Great Fanghu.

It also found He Lingchuan, found the successor.

Could the Black Dragon's power have turned into a Dragon Head Totem to find a successor that conforms to its will?

Or, a candidate that meets the expectations of the Dragon God's legacy? The mirror calmed down and pulled the topic back to the status quo: "Then have you decided what to do next?"

Reality is very cruel: no matter how difficult it is, He Lingchuan finally has to make a choice, and quickly! "It's a curse, but it can't be avoided." He Lingchuan said solemnly, "I have decided."

Over the past few days, he has been adjusting his thinking.

"The appearance of the Dragon Head Totem cannot be avoided by the Heavenly Gods and Beijia. If they want to invest in an investigation, they must either use their influence in Shining Gold or send people from Beijia."

He Lingchuan had long seen through that Beijia only has an indirect influence on the Shining Gold Plain, and the biggest hegemon in the local area is still the Yao Nation.

The mirror suddenly remembered: "Oh, isn't Qingyang in the Yao Nation? Maybe she will be the one to investigate."
