Chapter 16: The Seven Disciples of the Ghost Valley: What Can Be Done?
Unexpectedly, in the chaotic times of the Warring States, there were still so many secrets hidden, and even Ning Jiang was somewhat dumbfounded. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
According to the old man of Xingluo, what really affected the historical trend of the entire Warring States period can be said to be the book of heaven obtained by Guiguzi. And this can also explain why he doesn't have any too famous deeds, but the few apprentices he has passed down can become a rare genius in a hundred years for soldiers, legalists, and vertical and horizontal families.
A book of heaven is divided into seven techniques, each of which can create a genius who will go down in history. The seven disciples of Guiguzi, except for the corpse Yan who is the descendant of the corpse, are all famous people during the Warring States Period, and the magic of that book of heaven can be seen.
Picking up the teapot and pouring a cup for the old man, he said: "Later, Xu Fu took three thousand boys and girls to the sea to ask for the elixir, but Li Si, who stayed behind, was killed by Zhao Gao, I don't know what happened?" ”
The old man said: "At that time, I had sealed myself in the astrolabe, and I didn't know much about what happened later, so I could only scrutinize it from the historical materials that Zijin helped me find. However, before I sealed it, I was already aware of the dark tide created by my third junior brother Su Qin, who was still hiding in the shadows, in the Six Kingdoms. The seven techniques of the Guigu Valley, the integration of the seven techniques, can restore the Book of Heaven. Mao Sui and Xu Fu originally had two shares, Zhang Yi's share, which eventually fell into their hands, and the corpses of the six junior brothers were uncertain, and it was very likely that they were harmed. This time, they have at least collected three or four techniques in their hands, plus the national strength of the entire Great Qin. Judging from the annals, after the Great Qin unified the Six Kingdoms, they built a lot of construction everywhere, is it because they discovered some techniques to ascend to the heavens from the Book of Heaven? Xu Fu took thousands of boys and girls to the sea to seek immortals, is it related to this? I don't know any of this? ”
continued: "As for Mao Sui, who is alias Li Si, it is very likely that he was killed by my third junior brother. Su Qin has the Heavenly Seal of the Dragon Qi of the Six Kingdoms, and his lifespan is much longer than that of others, although he does not have the cultivation of the sect saint, but in terms of lifespan alone, I am afraid that even the family teacher cannot compare to him, and his self-energy can be consumed until Xu Fu leaves and Mao Sui grows old. In addition, he also has the means to materialize the primordial spirit, even if he is old, he can rely on the embodiment of the primordial spirit and appear as a young man. In any case, if he was not convinced that Mao Sui was dead and Xu Fu could not come back, he would never dare to appear so openly. ”
Bai Zijin said on the side: "Brother Ning, Shizun is convinced that the nameless old man who helped Emperor Gaozu of the Great Zhou Dynasty dominate the world in the troubled times at the end of Qin, as well as the apprentice of the nameless old man, the 'Dong Tianshu' who founded the entire Confucianism and Taoism, are actually the incarnation of Su Qin. And the so-called 'Confucian Saint Golden Body' in the Ziwei Star Wall is actually the body of Su Qin after his lifespan has expired, and there is a Heavenly Aspect Seal hidden in the body that can absorb and transfer luck. If it weren't for the fact that Mount Tai sealed Zen this time and Emperor Wen's golden body was destroyed, in another two hundred years, it would be really possible for him to resurrect himself from the dead and become a saint through the thousands of years of worship between the Great Zhou Emperor and the Confucian students in the world. ”
Ning Jiang groaned slightly and nodded...... This is a very high probability indeed.
It was also quite a surprise for Ning Jiang to be here and learn so many pre-Qin secrets. After continuing to negotiate, he learned that the Seven Techniques of Guigu and the Old Man of Starfall had also obtained two techniques, one was his own Qimen Technique Number Array, and the other was the method of marching victory obtained from Pang Juanna, who was finally defeated in his hands.
And "Yin Fu" is the masterpiece of these two techniques and a classic book written by him. According to his original design, only someone who has thoroughly studied the entire "Yin Fu" can pull him out of the astrolabe with the hidden formation in the next "Taigong Jinkui". And Bai Zijin's achievements in this area are actually not to that extent.
It's just that, for some reason, a few years ago, on the astrolabe, the sky dome actually tore a gap, the astrolabe was unstable, coupled with the collapse of Emperor Wen's star wall, so that the formation he arranged in an unknown corner of the astrolabe through the power of heaven and earth was also affected, and the seal weakened.
Baizi Jin was originally after realizing the hidden formation of Taigong Jinkui, he reluctantly tried it, but he really broke the seal and pulled him down.
The three of them chatted all night in this deep mountain, said a lot of things related to the pre-Qin, and also deduced the further truth behind Xu Fu's going to sea and Su Qin Fuzhou. It wasn't until the sky was getting brighter and he returned to the south that Ningjiang, where there were many things and he couldn't stay in Mingshan longer, did he say goodbye and leave.
Bai Zijin and the red lady personally sent Ningjiang and his party out of Mingshan. After Ningjiang left, Baizijin returned to Houshan and talked about Ningjiang with the old man Xingluo. He smiled and said, "I originally thought that Shizun had doubts about Brother Ning and would not casually reveal those past things to him. ”
The old man was silent for a while before he said: "I originally thought that this person would guide the situation in the world intentionally or unintentionally, and he must be an ambitious person. But now it seems that since he was able to write such a strange book as "Nine Yin True Scripture", these thousands of miles of rivers and mountains may not be put in his eyes. However, that's not really why I really believe in him, and I don't really trust him completely. ”
Bai Zijin said suspiciously: "Why did the master tell Brother Ning all these secrets?" ”
The old man sighed, "That's because, I have seen that his ability is indeed far above yours. It is better to be a friend than an enemy of him. I didn't believe him, but I had to believe in him. Just because, with his ability, if he is really ambitious and sinister...... What can the people of the world do about him? ”
The wind swept by, blowing the mountains and forests, the fallen leaves danced together, and the trees were swaying......
***
In a valley thirty miles northwest of Longhu Mountain, a blast furnace was erected, and many people came and went, as if everyone was busy and could not be leisurely.
There are as many as eight places like this, deep in the mountains, scattered in places that are difficult for ordinary people to find.
Yueling was originally a poor mountain and bad water, although now, it has been regarded as a part of China, but in the past, it was actually regarded as a wild land like Xiling.
Once upon a time, the Yue people occupied a large area of land in Yueling and Linghai, and now they have long been inseparable from each other with the Chinese people, and there is no difference between them in terms of living habits or others.
Next to the blast furnace, there was a man, and this man was Cui Yongkun, the head of the Cui family.
Entering the medicine mirror is one of the famous Taoist sects in the south, although it is a Taoist gate, it is actually a family business. The Cui family's elixir is sold extremely expensive on the south bank of the Yangtze River, and it is rumored to have the wonderful effect of prolonging life, and Cui Yongkun can also pat his chest without hesitation to guarantee...... Anyway, there is absolutely no harm in eating it in your stomach.
As for whether there is any benefit or not, that's another matter.
As the most famous Taoist Danshi sect, what the Cui family really knows is not alchemy, but people's hearts. He knew very well that in many cases, the function of these so-called elixirs did not lie in the fact that they really extended whose years and benefited whose lifespan, but in the comfort of the soul.
In this world, I don't know how many people are pursuing ethereal things, these things, because no one can prove that they don't exist, are especially able to deceive people's hearts.
The reason why the Cui family's "panacea" was able to sell so well at the top of the hierarchy in exchange for boxes and boxes of silver taels was that they mastered people's psychology. Even the First Emperor of the ages thousands of years ago longed for such miracles as immortality, and where could mortals be an exception?
But now, in just a few years, even Cui Yongkun can't help but think, maybe there are really "miracles" in this world that can be confirmed, whether it is the emergence of the Nine Yin True Scripture, or with people's research, more and more breathtaking "chemistry", which is being staged with each passing day, a breathtaking miracle.
Every day, there will be new changes in the rivers and lakes, like an explosion after 800 years of suppression, except for the further decline of Confucianism and Taoism, everything else is in ruins, showing vigorous vitality.
Taoism uses the power of "chemistry" to bring new things to life every day. The long-lost Momen has re-demonstrated its tenacious vitality in the north. The explosion of martial arts, as well as the emergence of various new schools of thought like mushrooms after a rain, made Cui Yongkun can't help but think, perhaps, ...... Are you in an unusual time?
Compared with the pool of stagnant water that almost made people feel the vitality before, Cui Yongkun at this moment seems to be able to clearly feel the rushing torrent of history. The blast furnace in front of him, the continuous configuration and purification of fierce fire oil and gunpowder, the clangling sound in the distance, and the turning sound of the chain all made him feel these clearly.
Or, being here made him understand far more clearly than others outside, the earth-changing, epoch-making change.
Due to the relationship of alchemy, the people in the Dao Sect do have some things that are not known to the outside world and are now called "chemical reactions". It's just that, in the past, most of these methods were used to pretend to be gods. And now, with the help of the "Chemistry Chapter" in the Nine Yin True Scripture, more and more young disciples in the Dao Sect are devoting themselves to it, coupled with the "scientific analysis method" given to them by Bishop Ning Meng, through a series of means such as experiments, analysis, induction, and summarization, all kinds of phenomena that seemed incredible in the past are found out and summarized, and even all aspects of experiments and research have been carried out, including Xuanqi.
Nowadays, the various theories mastered by Daomen are updated every day, and there are only laws that have not been discovered, and there are no phenomena that cannot be explained by "chemistry...... This is the belief of many young disciples in today's Daomen.
Looking at the blast furnace in front of him, his thoughts kept flying, this kind of enthusiasm and pride made Cui Yongkun feel much younger again. Turning, he walked out of the valley. There was a hot scene everywhere, and even he was much busier.
With a bang, a boy stumbled and rolled over to him.
Cui Yongkun said angrily: "You guy, you're running around again, be careful and wait for your sister to come back, I'll complain to your sister." ”
The boy was about eleven or twelve years old, and he didn't know where he was in front of him, his face was black and purple, although he was threatened by the head of the Cui family at the moment, he didn't care, wiped his face with his sleeve, and grinned.
The boy's name is Mei Xiaolu, and everyone is used to calling him Xiaolu. He has a sworn sister, who is the Xiaochun girl next to Ning Jiang, the leader of the Southeast Martial Arts Alliance. In addition, he also has a rather remarkable identity, that is, the young master of the reopened sect of Guandou Zhongxiao Sect...... However, at present, he is the only one in the entire Guandou Zhongxiao Sect, and he belongs to one person who is full, and the whole sect is not hungry.
Guan Dou Zhong Xiaomen, more than ten years ago, has actually been wiped out. At that time, the master of Guan Dou Zhong Xiao Sect was called Mei Jiansu, and it was Mei Jiansu's daughter Mei Xue who destroyed Guan Dou Zhong Xiao Gate, as well as the good goddess of the previous generation of Zoroastrianism and many Zoroastrians.
Guan Douzhong's filial piety gate was destroyed, and only Mei Jiansu was alone, who escaped with serious injuries and assumed the pseudonym Qin Baopu. The character "Qin" was originally his wife's surname, but his wife was killed by his only daughter.
The head of Mei, who was renamed Qin Baopu, fled into Qinling, and accepted five righteous sons and daughters, known as the "Five Ghosts of Qinchuan". And Mei Xue became the Phantom Moon Priest of Zoroastrianism. Guan Dou Zhong Xiaomen disappeared in the rivers and lakes, until the past two years, someone noticed that the Xiaochun girl who followed the Ning League Lord used the Mei Gangyuan swordsmanship of Guan Dou Zhong Xiaomen.
After Ning Jiang became the leader of the Southeast Martial Arts Alliance, he sent people to re-investigate the case of Guan Dou Zhong Xiaomen's annihilation, and found that although Guan Dou Zhong Xiaomen was destroyed, the Mei clan was not completely wiped out. The Mei family was originally a big family, constantly branching out, the main family inherited the inheritance of loyalty and filial piety, and most of the families were engaged in business or farming.
It's just that the Guandou Zhongxiao Gate was destroyed, and the Mei Gangyuan swordsmanship was also broken, and the "Heavenly Falling Streamer" as the secret treasure of the Guandou Zhongxiao Gate disappeared, and most of the people who split the family did not know martial arts, and no one dared to come forward, for fear of being killed by the murderer behind the scenes who destroyed the main family.
After knowing this, the Lord of the Ning League sent someone to select a talented child from the Mei family's branch to inherit the incense of the Mei family. This child was taken to Longhu Mountain and became the young master of the Guandou Loyal and Filial Piety Gate. The little spring girl who had stayed in Yueling for a few days recognized him as a younger brother and taught him the Mei Gangyuan swordsmanship, which was originally a family tradition of the Mei family but was continuously improved by Ningjiang.
This child who was selected to inherit the incense of Mei Zhangmen and the inheritance of Guan Dou's loyalty and filial piety is Mei Xiaolu.
Mei Xiaolu's own grandfather, in terms of seniority, is the cousin of the deceased Mei Zhang, but he is a businessman who does not know martial arts. However, he is now the grandson of the head of Mei, he is active by nature, although he began to practice the Mei Gangyuan swordsmanship modified by the Ning Alliance Lord himself, he is not too interested in martial arts, but is extremely curious about "chemistry", and runs around the strongholds and laboratories around Longhu Mountain all day long.
And his righteous sister, most of the time, followed the Lord of the Ning League and disappeared, and no one could control him. In addition, he has a few uncles and uncles, they are the righteous sons and daughters accepted by the pseudonym Qin Baopu when the head of Mei's family is named, although from time to time, passing by here, will come and see him, but most of them come and go in a hurry, and the others don't care about him for the sake of Xiaochun girl and Qin Erxia and others, but it makes him more and more naughty......
