Chapter 53 Five Elements Escape Technique
It was said that they were outside the city of Chaoge.

When people talked about Emperor Yi's three sons, they all called them princes.

Now that we have arrived in Chaoge City, he calls me Young Master.

It's really a bit awkward.

Yang Jian did not dwell on this little matter for too long.

Ahead is the banquet venue for the eldest son Weizi Qi.

The reason I came here was purely out of the desire to gain some experience.

He also brought Su Daji with him. He had to bring her along. If Su Daji ran far away and activated the Heart-Eating Curse, he would have no place to cry.

After getting off the carriage, Weizi Qi was standing outside the door to greet him.

When he saw that Yang Jian actually brought Su Daji with him, his eyes suddenly lit up.

A group of people entered and took seats.

Yang Jian then discovered that there was an old acquaintance here, Yuan Futong.

"Marquis Beihai, long time no see!"

Yuan Futong bowed in return, "I never thought that Brother Yang would become the Marquis of Shu in the blink of an eye, and that he would be appreciated by Grand Master Wen. This is really enviable."

Yang Jian simply responded with a salute, and after a heated exchange of words.

Weizi Qi clearly stated his purpose.

He wanted to win over Yang Jian in order to show his favor to Master Wen.

Previously, after several confirmations, he found out that Wen Zhong had no dealings with Wei Zhongyan.

That's why he wanted to win him over. As for Zishou's initiative to visit Yang Jian, he didn't take it to heart.

If a waste hated by his father could win over Yang Jian, he would be willing to drink up all the manure in Chaoge City today.

When the king's father took them to the ancestral temple today, the second son, Wei Zhongyan, was also taken along by the king's father.

It is impossible that my father didn't know that Yuan Futong was just his Wei Ziqi's man.

But at that time, he deliberately said that they were together.

He intended to let him compete with Wei Zhongyan for the opportunity to become the crown prince.

As a newly-born marquis, Yang Jian was a target worth winning over, not to mention that he would become the junior brother of Master Wen, making his importance even greater.

After everyone had toasted each other, Wei Ziqi slowly opened his mouth and stated his conditions.

He would obviously reserve a place for Yang Jian by his side, and Yang Jian would then be the Grand Master Wen by his side, but there was also a condition.

That is to give Su Daji to him. In return, Yang Jian can choose ten beauties from his house at will.

Yang Jian was almost laughed out of anger by this idiot.

This guy really takes himself seriously.

If you don't agree with what you say, even half a word is too much.

So he left decisively.

Zishou is worthy of being the future King Zhou, he is much more generous than Weizi Qi.

Earlier, after Mei Niang came in to report, Zishou felt a little urgency and agreed to Yang Jian's conditions on the spot.

As long as he ascends the throne, Yang Jian can play with the Nine Cauldrons that guard the Shang Dynasty at any time and in any place.

After Yang Jian left.

Weizi Qi was furious and angry at Yang Jian for not appreciating his kindness.

He has learned to treat Wen Zhong like Emperor Yi did, and behaved with respect and courtesy.

But Yang Jian didn't appreciate it.

With this in mind, he had no choice but to give up trying to win over Yang Jian.

If we can't use it for his own benefit, we can't give others the opportunity either.

It just so happened that the great demon from the northern border had already followed Yuan Futong to Chaoge.

Just outside the city of Chaoge.

He is still waiting to avenge the tiger.

In addition, Yang Jian had previously killed Deng Zhong, the beloved son of the Deng family in Chaoge.

Deng Zhong's father was Deng Jiugong, the general of Sanshan Pass.

He wanted to get rid of Yang Jian as soon as possible, but due to the authority of Master Wen, he did not dare to act rashly.

Now is a perfect opportunity to work together to get rid of Yang Jian and at the same time win over the Deng family.

The time to kill Yang Jian was set during the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven.

At that time, Chaoge City will temporarily close the formation to allow the Heaven and Earth to enjoy the sacrificial human sacrifice.

The big monster from the north could take the opportunity to enter the city. He didn't believe that Yang Jian could escape.

Yang Jian did not go back directly, but asked Mei Niang to drive to the Grand Tutor's Mansion.

The reason why he made a special visit was because when he was on the road, he wanted to find Wen Zhong to learn magic.

Wen Zhong said that he did not have the books on magic with him and would talk about it after returning to Chaoge.

He now wants to find Wen Zhong to learn the magic that he has been dreaming of.

When they arrived at the place and reported to someone, he took Su Daji straight into the mansion and met Wen Zhong.

Wen Zhong was in a courtyard at this moment, watching the servants dragging slaves in to serve as blood food to feed the black unicorn.

The slaves were unable to scream as their throats had been damaged. It was obvious that the servants were worried that the slaves' screams would disturb the Grand Tutor.

Wen Zhong turned around, as if he had anticipated Yang Jian's arrival.

He said it was noisy here and took Yang Jian to the study.

As he waved his arm, a bamboo slip made of jade pieces appeared on the table.

"I will teach you the Five Elements Escape Technique first. If you don't understand anything, you can ask me. As for practicing Taoism, the Taoism I teach can only be bestowed by my master. You should practice the Eight-Nine Mysterious Skills first. It does not conflict with the Taoism of Jiejiao."

Yang Jian was delighted and couldn't wait to take it and started reading it.

He can finally practice magic!
Soon his expression froze. Just like the Eight-Nine Profound Art, he couldn't quite understand it.

"How come you don't understand?"

Wen Zhong noticed the change in Yang Jian's expression and asked.

Yang Jian put the jade slip away and said hurriedly, "No, thank you, Grand Master."

Wen Zhong pretended to be angry: "Still calling me Grand Tutor?"

"Yang Jian thanks you, Senior Brother!"

“Hahaha~Okay”

Wen Zhong laughed out loud, thinking that he was finally not the youngest disciple under his master.

"The Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony will be held in three days. You should prepare early. I will take you to see Master then. Master has been sending me messages to urge us these past two days, which is really a headache."

Yang Jian listened to Wen Zhong's words and felt that they were like a threat.

He thought to himself that it was impossible. Wen Zhong was so powerful and had the two magic weapons of the Golden Spirit Mother, how could he be in danger?

"Junior brother seems to be worried?"

Wen Zhong noticed that Yang Jian was uneasy and asked him about it.

Yang Jian quickly suppressed the panic that was rising in his heart, and asked indirectly: "Brother, what if someone causes trouble during the Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony?"

Yang Jian's words were suggestive.

Wen Zhong's eyes narrowed when he heard this, and his eye between his eyebrows slightly opened. He said calmly: "When the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony comes, the Emperor of Heaven and the Empress of Earth will be present, and the traitors will never dare to show up. When the time comes, you stand by my side, and even if there are lunatics who dare to cause chaos openly, my brother will protect you."

is it?

Yang Jian began to doubt. If this was true, then where did Zishou get the confidence to take action during the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven?

He wanted to ask Su Daji who was beside him.

But now I can only suppress my doubts.

Wait until you get to a secluded place before asking.

He said goodbye and went back.

After returning to the residence.

Without waiting for him to ask, Su Daji naturally knew the confusion in Yang Jian's heart and took the initiative to speak: "If the Emperor of Heaven and Empress of Earth come in person, wouldn't it be enough to prevent them from coming to the mortal world?"

"You mean?"

"Sacrifice relies on human sacrifices. Nearly a million human sacrifices are required to summon the Emperor of Heaven and the Empress of Earth to come and bless the Shang Dynasty. What if no human sacrifices were made?"

Su Daji explained to Yang Jian very patiently.

Yang Jian continued to ask: "It seems that you rely on the 100,000 human sacrifices of the barbarians, but when the Shang army gathers, can you rely on these slaves to accomplish your mission?"

Su Daji: "You will know when the time comes."

Su Daji started to keep the secret again, and Yang Jian didn't dwell on it.

At that time, he stayed next to Wen Zhong.

Love so and so!
It doesn’t matter!

into the night.

Mei Niang brought hot water and a bathtub to help Su Daji take a bath.

Separated by a screen.

Yang Jian is studying hard.

In front of him was the jade slip of the Five Elements Escape Technique given by Wen Zhong.

The demonic eye between his eyebrows opened wide, scanning the characters on it.

The originally obscure and difficult to understand mysteries of the spell began to enter his mind.

The magic power in Yang Jian's dantian was surging, and he was eager to try.
