Chapter 057: Think long-term

Previous Chapter

Ah Zhu and I, dressed as beggars, rushed all over the stinky road, and finally came to Mianshan.

I led Ah Zhu and began to go deep into the area where the uninhabited Cloud Crane Temple is located. Here strange peaks suddenly appear, green trees and clear streams, birds cry in the forest, monkeys play in the treetops, as if in the eternal years. In this environment, the original nervous mood was relieved and began to feel very comfortable.

Ah Zhu is the first time to come back to this secluded corner of Mianshan, and when he sees such a fairyland, he can't help but shout and scream, and his emotions are high. The tiredness of the past few days seems to have been swept away.

After walking on the mountain road for a long time, he finally arrived at the Yunhe Temple on the edge of the cliff in the middle of the mountain, and Ah Zhu couldn't help but say: "What a hidden place!" This time, don't worry that the Eagle gang will find you. "He is right, Yunheguan this place, in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom period, in order to avoid the pursuit of the Taiping army, the Maoshan sect led the disciples to come here to live in seclusion, and arranged dozens of ecstasy arrays nearby.

I am very excited to see Master Cangwu Dao again, and every time we meet, I have a lot to say to my master. However, I pushed open the doors of several earthen houses and shouted at the top of my voice, but I still couldn't hear anyone respond. The master should have gone down the mountain to swim, and even the golden monkey Aji was not there.

Ah Zhu said depressedly: "I'm still anxious, I want to meet your master, what should I do now?" ”

I said, "Let's rest in the temple for a few days and wait for the master to come back." Otherwise, with this piece of jade, hiding in Tibet every day, worrying about it, it will be unbearable. ”

Ah Zhu immediately said yes. It was a good tourist getaway for him.

Fortunately, after staying until noon the next day, Daoist Cangwu and Aji came back. Looking at his expression, it seems that he is quite tired.

Sure enough, the Taoist chief rested for a while, took a sip of tea, and then said, "I went to Zhongtiao Mountain in the past few days." Last time I heard you talk about the rumors of the zombie king, I went to inquire about it. In the area below the mountain, it is true that people often go missing for no reason. ”

"Aji and I went up the mountain and walked up the mountains to inspect, and the demonic spirit was overwhelming! The monster in the mountain must be constantly cultivating evil arts, and from time to time haunting, killing, and constantly inhaling people's essence and blood. Now it seems that it has been cultivated for quite some years, and it is hidden deep in the middle of the mountain. ”

"Yiming, when your cultivation is improved, our master and apprentice will join forces and try to lure it out of the mountain before we have a chance to subdue it. Otherwise, the cave is too big, and it is too risky for the two of us to go in. - By the way, didn't I say that you should go up the mountain once a month and take my exam? It's been less than a month this time, why did you go up the mountain again so quickly, and take your friends with you? ”

I hurriedly took out Huang Longyu and said, "Master, I have encountered a big incident, I don't know what to do with this thing, so I'll leave it to you to deal with." "So, I gave Ding Jicong to me Huanglong jade wool, and Ah Zhu and I accidentally found that there were embryos in the jade, and Zhenyan led his men to rob the jade, and told the Taoist chief in 1510.

Hearing this, Daoist Cangwu raised Huang Longyu and looked at it carefully. After looking at it for a long time, his face showed a look of surprise, and his voice trembled slightly: "It seems that the legend is true...... This piece is the phoenix jade that caused several kings of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom to kill each other! ”

Ah Zhu and I were also nervous to listen. I asked, "Master, you also saw the strange light it emitted, didn't you?" ”

The Taoist chief nodded: "Only those of us who have yin and yang eyes can see this auspicious light and ruiqi." Moreover, I also heard the heartbeat of Tamaka. There are indeed living creatures in the jade. ”

I'm so excited that this ...... It greatly violated the laws of nature and completely subverted my three views. Ding Jicong is a jade expert, he once said: the formation of jade must meet two conditions, one is to have a high temperature of tens of thousands of degrees, and the other is to go through tens of thousands of years. However, do creatures that can withstand tens of thousands of degrees of heat and survive for tens of thousands of years in jade without water, air, and nutrients really exist?

I nervously asked, "What kind of creature is this?" Is it really the same as the stone that burst out of the Monkey King in "Journey to the West", pregnant with an embryo with powerful mana? ”

Cangwu Dao Chang: "Judging from the shape and name of the embryo, it is most likely a phoenix. However, looking at the sharp beak and claws, it may also be Xuanwu, Bi Fang and the like. Yiming, I have an idea. ”

I asked, "What do you think?" ”

Cangwu Dao Chang: "Now the embryo is in the jade, although it has a heartbeat and life, but it is like a vegetative person, without consciousness. What we have to do is to wake it up and let it grow and form slowly in the jade. The day it breaks out, you can know what kind of creature it is. ”

"Moreover, this creature must possess great mana, and as long as you take care of it and gain its trust, it will become your faithful and powerful patron saint! When you slay demons, summon them to increase their power! ”

I was surprised: "Master, you mean that let me raise the things in the jade as a pet?" ”

Daoist Cangwu: "That's right. The Maoshan Warlock with a high cultivation level has a guardian spirit as his right-hand man. Let's just talk about me, my guardian spirit is a Ying Dragon, a young dragon found by my ancestor in the depths of Changbai Mountain, and it took half a year to cultivate. I think this piece of jade is related to you, and in time, it will be your best combat partner. ”

Ah Zhu, who was sitting on the side, listened to it, danced happily, and shouted loudly: "Then Dao Chief, please wake up the embryo now!" As long as Yiming has the help of this monster, we don't have to be afraid of Zhenyan's gang anymore! ”

It's right to think about it, no wonder, the people of Xiangying Group did not hesitate to spend their blood and did everything possible to find out this piece of jade, which turned out to have such great power. It's better to let me have it, let it play a role in my hands, and suppress this gang of evil forces.

Daoist Cangwu shook his head: "It's not that you can wake up if you want to." The jade must be put back to the place where it was originally conceived, because that is where the aura gathers. Yiming, you have to find a way to figure out the source and origin of this jade, and then I will go with you to wake up the phoenix jade. ”

My heart is cold, this is not easy to do.

According to legend, Yang Xiuqing, the king of the East, sent spies to find Phoenix Jade in a place called Kokang in Myanmar. However, Kokang is not a big place, nor is it small, even if you go through the mountains, you may not be able to find it.

What's more, Yang Xiuqing's book about Phoenix Jade is also very likely to fall into the hands of Zhenyan's gang, and it is not possible to rob or steal from them.

Unless, they can find the descendants of the spy sent by Yang Xiuqing to Kokang, they must know where Phoenix Jade was found. Well...... Where can I find the spies' descendants?

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in my mind: that jade auction with no reserve price!

As long as you pass through Ding Jicong, you can find the administrator and auctioneer who presided over that auction; When you find the administrator and the auctioneer, you can ask who gave them the jade to bid. As long as you find this seller, you will have a good chance to ask about the source and origin of phoenix jade.
