Chapter 170: The Secret Method of Rejuvenation
"What is this?" Hearing this, Iron Shoes immediately came over, took the mouse in Zuo Dengfeng's hand and looked at it curiously, the mouse was a shameless product, and smiled at him again.
"One of the twelve earthly branches, isn't it fun?" Zuo Dengfeng said with a smile.
"You can still speak, Zuo Zhenren, thank you." Iron shoes danced excitedly, this rat is not big, blue fur, red eyes, four small white claws, two big teeth, although there is no jade whisk Jiuyang monkey cute, but quite happy.
"Why do you look like this?" Yufu smiled and walked over to help Zuo Dengfeng wear a robe, some animals are born playthings, whoever sees them likes it.
"The smallest of the twelve earthly branches is your monkey, this mouse is also small, and the others are big." Zuo Dengfeng took the robe and put it on quickly.
"This is good, this is good, Amitabha, thank you." Iron Shoes laughed and ran to the wooden box on Zuo Dengfeng, rummaging through dry food to feed the rat.
"What's going on?" Yufu retracted his smile and asked.
"This is the place where this rat was sealed before, and the formation was indeed laid by Jiang Ziya, 1,300 years This formation was accidentally discovered and cracked by later generations, and a temple was built inside, the first half of the temple was imprisoned by this mouse, and the second half was the mausoleum, and after the temple was built, the formation was returned to its original state." Zuo Dengfeng said briefly, although the rat belongs to the surname Yang, but catching the rat still makes him feel very good, first, he can give the iron shoes as a plaything, so as not to keep him from beating the idea of thirteen, and secondly, this thing is what Fujisaki is looking for, so Fujisaki doesn't have to worry about it now.
"What kind of person can build such a big temple underwater?" Jade Fu nodded and asked.
"Follow the Northern Zhou Dynasty to conquer a minority in the world, the Lu tribe, this ethnic group has the magic of moving mountains and reclamation, and the eight tribes that followed Jiang Ziya's eastern expedition back then all have special abilities, so I guess this Lu tribe may be the descendants of the Ji Kingdom three thousand years ago." What Zuo Dengfeng said is not sure, the necessary clues are needed to deduce the truth, whether the truth can be introduced does not depend on the number of clues, but on whether the clues can corroborate each other, and the clues to determine that the Lu people are the descendants of the Ji Kingdom are insufficient, so Zuo Dengfeng can only guess, but cannot be presumed.
"It's possible, what's going on with this waterway." Jade Whisk pointed to the waterway that had been dug by monitor lizards.
"The Lu people built temples and mausoleums here, naturally knowing that the Jinsha River has a lot of sediment, and they also used the characteristics of this river water to cover up the underwater temples, and they dug the waterway for two purposes, one is to open the waterway to wash away the sediment when they need to bury the dead, so as to facilitate the burial, and the other is to cut off the river and take the opportunity to obtain gold." Zuo Dengfeng said that the gold wall in the temple weighed more than 10,000 catties, and no matter how generous the Sui Dynasty was, it would not reward them with so much gold.
"I understand, a certain amount of river water will usually be stored within these five miles, if the waterway is dug up, the river water stored here will quickly fill into the pothole and take away the sediment, and when the river water accumulated here is finished, the upstream inflow of the river water potential will be dispersed and slowed down within the five miles, and as soon as the water potential slows down, the sediment will be quickly deposited, and the pothole will be silted up after three days." Yufu suddenly realized.
"Yes, the people who excavated this area back then may have made precise calculations, and the five-mile area cannot be large or small, if the area is too large, the accumulated river water may not be able to carry away the sediment, and if the area is too small, the sediment will not be deposited and block the hole in the sewer." Zuo Dengfeng smiled and nodded, "That monitor lizard had to dig underwater for a whole morning to open the pothole, which shows that the pit is extremely deep, but no matter how powerful it is, it can't break through the rocks and open the mountain, so it can only dig up sediment, which means that it is the sediment that blocks the pothole, not anything else." ”
"By the way, what are you going to do with that four-legged snake?" Jade Whisk stretched out his hand and pointed at the ugly green monitor lizard dozens of feet away on the north side.
"Although this thing is lustful, it is very loyal, I don't kill it, I will force out the mouse Neidan in a while, and it won't follow without Neidan." Zuo Dengfeng pondered for a moment and said, animals are ignorant, even if they make mistakes, they can be forgiven, Zuo Dengfeng is harsh to people, but he is merciful to animals, beating the smart, and forgiving the stupid.
"Listen to you." Jade Fu nodded and smiled.
"I have two more discoveries below." Zuo Dengfeng glanced at the iron shoes that were feeding the mouse, the mouse smiled at him, cooing, and at the same time took the time to look left and right to try to escape, the iron shoes also found its intentions, and kept grabbing its back hair and did not let go, thirteen squatted next to Zuo Dengfeng and squinted coldly, full of contempt for the mouse, and disdained to compete with the iron shoes, it only had Zuo Dengfeng in its eyes, and never regarded the iron shoes as the master.
"What a discovery." Jade Fu asked with a smile.
"A few days ago, when we were observing the river by the river before we set off, you once said that before the Sui Dynasty, expounding teachings, Taoism, and intercepting religion coexisted, and after the establishment of the Sui Dynasty, the three religions were weak, and a large number of monastic classics were missing, do you know why?" Zuo Dengfeng sold a pass.
"What." Jade Fu smiled again, she knew how to be a good listener.
"There is a golden wall in the temple below, and a large number of words are engraved on the golden wall, according to the above, the predecessor of the Sui Dynasty was the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and there was a real person who protected the country in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and this person killed a large number of three sects before the golden body soared, and destroyed the vast majority of the monastic classics, and since then it has been even more difficult for the ascension of the Dao." Zuo Dengfeng said the record on the golden wall.
"What's this person's name?" Jade Fu frowned and asked.
"I don't know, it didn't say it." Zuo Dengfeng shook his head.
"Why did he do that?" Jade Whisk asked again.
"I don't know, it didn't say above." Zuo Dengfeng still shook his head.
"What's your other discovery below." Yufu reluctantly changed the topic.
"Back then, this area was called the wilderness, there were four races here, three of them went out to help the protector of the country to conquer the world, after the success of the three patriarchs were named princesses and princes respectively, one of the female patriarchs and the protector of the country had a close personal relationship, the protector of the country before the ascension left her a suitable for women to practice the beauty spell." Zuo Dengfeng pondered for a long time and said.
In fact, he was lying, the real person did not leave any spells before he ascended, the golden wall only recorded that the princess was the patriarch of the Xu clan, and the golden wall was left by the Lu people, and he was slightly dissatisfied with the title that was awarded that year, and the three clans contributed at the same time, only the female patriarch was named the first-class princess, and the patriarchs of the other two clans were all third-class princes, and the implication was that the female patriarch had a personal relationship with the real person who protected the country, but the content was only these, the reason why Zuo Dengfeng wanted to make up a lie was to pass on the yin and yang life and death recipe to Yufu, Before that, he wanted to wait until the last moment to leave it to her, but he found that danger was everywhere in the process of finding the earth branch, in case he encountered an accident, the yin and yang life and death recipe was completely lost, and the matter was small, and the debt to the jade was not repayable, so he decided to teach it now, but not to break her.
Yufu didn't show joy when she heard this, but frowned and looked at Zuo Dengfeng.
"Do you know why I stayed down there for so long, I remember it all." Zuo Dengfeng stretched out his hand and pointed to his head, although Yufu did not show joy, but the solemn expression showed that she was nervous in her heart, Aimei is a woman's natural surname, and Yufu is a master of Xuanmen, but at the same time, she is also a woman, and she will not pay attention to her appearance if she is a woman.
After Zuo Dengfeng finished speaking, Yufu still didn't say anything, sometimes it was superfluous to speak, two people with a tacit understanding did not rely on verbal communication, Zuo Dengfeng smiled bitterly in his heart at the moment, he didn't want to lie and deceive Yufu, because he knew that a white lie was also a deception, but he couldn't help it, Yufu was not a fool, there must be a reasonable source and reason for her not to be suspicious, if she knew that Zuo Dengfeng was going to teach her the yin and yang life and death secrets, she would never accept it, because no matter what angle she stood on, Teaching one's own Taoism to others other than apprentices without reservation is to explain what will happen in the future.
"How many words are there, how do you remember so quickly." After the silence, Jade Whisk was the first to speak.
As soon as Yufu said this, Zuo Dengfeng immediately gasped, Yufu was more sensitive than he thought, she was still suspicious of such a logical reason and lie.
"Seven or eight hundred words." Zuo Dengfeng's mind was running rapidly, and after smiling, he said the number of words, in fact, there were two thousand words in the Yin and Yang Life and Death Formula, and when Zuo Dengfeng smiled, he quickly filtered out the content that she did not need to cultivate according to Yufu's current cultivation and determined the general number of words.
"Oh." Jade Fu nodded and spoke.
Zuo Dengfeng deliberately showed a slightly disappointed look when he heard this, he had to make his expression match the lie, if a person worked hard to write down a spell that was beneficial to others and did not get a positive response and thanks from the other party, this should be the kind of expression.
"You're not waiting for me to say thank you, are you?" Seeing this, Jade Whisk looked coquettishly and rolled her eyes.
Zuo Dengfeng grinned when he heard this, and at this moment he knew that Yu Fu would no longer doubt it, he felt that Yu Fu was a real smart person, and he was also a smart person.
A truly smart person is not a person who thinks he is smart, that is arrogant, nor is he a person who thinks he is stupid, that is inferiority, and a truly intelligent person is a person who knows that he is smart and does not treat others as fools.
"Don't feed it, this mouse eats everything, don't spoil the snacks." Zuo Dengfeng laughed and found that the iron shoes were still feeding the rat on the side.
"Why does it only call Auntie." Iron Shoes frowned and turned back when he heard this.
"You can slowly train it to call Uncle." Zuo Dengfeng said with a smile, it is just a mouse, it would be good to coo, if it squeaked, it would be even worse.
Yufu was also talking about it, and Zuo Dengfeng liked to play when he was in a relaxed mood.
"yes, but I'll have to give it a name first." Iron Shoes stroked the mouse, he liked this mouse very much, and now he didn't want to give it to the monkey.
"It's called Blueskin." Zuo Dengfeng said with a smile.
"It's terrible." Iron Shoes pouted.
"Brocade Mouse." Jade Whisk interjected.
"It's not Bai Yutang." Iron shoes or pouting.
"The rat is the head of the zodiac, it is the largest, you can call it the boss." Zuo Dengfeng smiled evilly and said, "Good name." Iron Shoes gave Zuo Dengfeng a thumbs up, he didn't know that Zuo Dengfeng was playing him, but thought that Zuo Dengfeng had given a powerful and domineering name to the mouse.
"You're bad enough, be careful of damnation." Yufu glanced at Zuo Dengfeng again, the boss of the Buddhist family is Sakyamuni, how can he be a mouse.
"Master, who is your boss?" Zuo Dengfeng asked with a smile at the iron shoes.
Hearing this, Iron Shoes pointed at the blue-haired mouse without hesitation, "It." ”
