Chapter 402: Xu Ren, Wu Xian, Immortal Medicine (4k)

"Good things come in pairs! Ju Jian promised us that the Xu people would split the land thousands of miles in the west of Dongou and re-establish the country, and allowed me to take the position of Xu Hou, and actually heard about this top secret thing of incalculable value. Could it be that this is God's blessing for us in the future? ”

Secretly eavesdropping on the information coming out of the folds of the void, the prince was overjoyed in his heart, and couldn't help but think that he felt that he might have the hope of restoring Xu Guosheji.

After the death of the Marquis of Qi and the King of Chu one after another, the current situation has also changed greatly, and the control of the local ministers and doctors of the offices of Qi and Chu has declined, and the intention of the neighboring Wu State to launch expansion and invade these two countries will also increase significantly.

Considering that after fighting with Chu for so many years, the border is in tatters, unless a big victory is achieved, there will not be much benefit, and attacking Qi and many small countries dependent on Qi can plunder a lot of resources, and most of Wu's troops will be directed to Qi.

Thinking that the threat in the direction of Chu has been lifted, and then provoke Qilu and other countries, and make enemies everywhere, Wu will definitely lose a lot of troops, and have to be replenished from the hometowns of Xu and Zhongwu, so that Xu people can hold important positions in the Wu army, and their influence will gradually recover.

As for the Chu side, because it is Gou Jian's grandson Prince Zhang who succeeds to the throne, the secret support for the Yue State will inevitably increase, the Chu-Yue Alliance will be stronger, the influence of the Yue State will increase, and more and more homeless people will come from all directions.

In order to settle these homeless people who had been exiled from other countries and win the hearts of the people, Goujian, the king of Yue, decided to take the Xu people who had migrated to Yue in large numbers as early as a thousand years ago as a model, and promised that the highest status of Xu who had died in Wu and fled to the Yue Kingdom, the prince would stay and formally establish a new Xu State, with the title of Marquis.

Xu was founded in the Xia Qi period, the history is longer than the Yue country, there is no need to mention the things after the Spring and Autumn Period, since Yun Chang, who still claims to be the Marquis of Yue, sent a high-grade divine soldier to Xu Hou as a gift, and made an appointment to call the queen together, between the Yue and Xu countries, it is a friendly alliance.

However, due to the fact that King Xu married the daughter of King Wu Yi, was specially visited by Ji Zha, left an allusion to the sword, and gave birth to his son Yi Chu also succeeded as king, the relationship between Wu and Xu also became quite good.

At that time, the state of Chu was powerful, and the strength was above the state of Wu, the king of Chu Ling made an alliance, and Yi Chu went to participate, but the king of Ling thought that he was suspected of going through Wu, and was arrested, and later took the opportunity to escape back to the state of Xu, provoking the king of Chu Ling to send troops to attack Xu and was saved by the state of Wu.

It seems that there is a deep enmity between Chu and Xu, and Wu Guo has become the eldest brother of Xu State, but when King Chu Ling was killed, the successor King Chu Ping was the one who secretly released Yi Chu back then, and Chu and Xu also began to make friends;

On the contrary, the son of Yi Yu, that is, Wu Wangyi, was killed by He Lu, and Zhang Yu, the son of Yi Chu and the king of Xinxu, who can be regarded as Yi Yu, was regarded as a hidden danger, and after Zhang Yu took in Wu Wang's brother to cover up, he was quickly destroyed by the Wu army, and Zhang Yu himself pleaded guilty and tried to keep the temple but was refused, so he fled to Chu State.

In general, the Xu people currently have pro-Chu faction, pro-Wu faction, and pro-Yue faction, because Zhongli and Qunshu are all branches of the Xu State in the past, the basic plate of the Xu people in a broad sense is actually very large, and after Jujian won the pro-Yue faction Xu people, the other two factions also have the possibility of changing directions.

"Wuwang Keyin was anti-Shang, and he didn't get off the car and sealed the Yellow Emperor after Yu Ji, after Emperor Yao Yu Zhu, and after Emperor Shun Yu Chen; Get off the car and seal the Xia Hou clan after Yu Qi, and after the Yin in the Song Dynasty", it is a matter of two kings and three ke.

Although the Yue Kingdom is not large, it has also imitated this policy, intending to "rise and destroy the country, succeed the peerless, and lift the people", so as to achieve the effect of "the people of the world return to their hearts". With the example of Xu Ren's restoration, it is conceivable that the remnants of Zhoulai, Zhongli, Zhongwu and other countries will also serve Yue Guo for this reason.

……

The reason why the prince left the second stay, or Xu Hou, who had not yet been officially given by the king of Yue, appeared at the entrance of Yuling Park was naturally not specially for eavesdropping, in fact, the purpose of his trip was actually to find someone to help divination and see what kind of currency he should mint.

Although the Later Xu State, which was divided by the Yue Kingdom, had to accept a part of the Vietnamese army stationed to provide "protection", it could also be regarded as an independent prince, so it could issue coins minted by its own country, and it did not have to be the same as the mainstream Ge coins of the Yue Kingdom.

Different from the ant-nose coins issued by the Chu State and the copper shell coins used by the Wu State, in the past, perhaps because "King Xu Yan was so strange, there was no deep water and he got strange fish", or maybe it was just a coincidence, the currency circulating in Xu and the surrounding Huaiyi was a variety of fish coins.

Just as there are thousands of varieties of fish, the shape and scale of the fish coins are often different because of the different types of fish they imitate, and it has become a common practice in the Xu State to recast new varieties of fish coins whenever a new monarch ascends the throne.

Since the prince was fond of Fang Shidao and was not good at divination and witchcraft, when he needed to decide what kind of coins to use, he rushed to the Yuling Tomb of Huiji Mountain from Jiangzhou, where the king of Yue was located, hoping that the wizard here could provide suitable advice.

"I heard that every country that issues coins on a large scale has some kind of technology that can identify the origin of the copper material of the coin, which is used to prevent counterfeiting, to prevent other countries from secretly copying, and to try to impact their own economic system."

"And small pocket-sized countries like Yu, Yan, and Yuanyu, which are not more than a thousand miles away, do not have this kind of technology, and any doctor family of a powerful country can use the coinage strategy to squeeze and eat away at their only remaining territory and population.

If you want to restore some of the prestige of the past, then in this key technology, you must not be controlled by others, otherwise you will become a puppet of the Yue Kingdom.

And this top-secret news involving immortal grass and immortal medicine may be told to Yue Wang in a special way, in exchange for a complete set of casting industry chains, including this key identification technology?

Just when he wanted to "dedicate" the "immortal medicine" to Ju Jian in some way out of gratitude, he suddenly found that the conversation between Shen Ge and that Zhao Qing was suddenly interrupted and could no longer be detected by himself.

……

"In ancient legends, it is not only the Queen Mother of the West who can make immortal elixir......" Inexplicably felt a little uneasy, and he forgot to freeze for a while, although he felt that the communication in the spatial passage was confidential enough, but it still stimulated his miraculous eyes.

As the almost end-of-the-line wheel mark around Shen Ge's pupils advanced a little further, a twisted vortex formed on the outside of this spatial passage, creating an indescribable partition in time and space, temporarily restricting all information that could be leaked.

Is this a vacuum superfluid? Interference with the "ether" medium through which information is transmitted? Sensing this bizarre scene, Zhao Qing's surprise was even greater than hearing the news of "Immortal Grass", and he couldn't help but speculate on the principle, potential ability and changes of this method.

“…… The Ten Witches of Lingshan, Wu Xian, Wu Ji, Wu Pan, Wu Peng, Wu Gu, Wu Zhen, Wu Li, Wu Di, Wu Xie, Wu Luo, can be said to be the pioneers of the way of witchcraft. They collected hundreds of medicines in the world and also researched the recipe for immortality. Among them, Wu Xian and Wu Peng are regarded as the pioneers of Xiao and medicine. ”

After rearranging some protective measures, Shen Ge Wangyi continued to add: "Judging from the known ancient history, Wu Xian was already a powerful monk who shocked the world at the time of the Yellow Emperor, and also appeared in the time of Yao and Shun. ”

"When it came to the Taiwu of the Shang Dynasty, this Wu Xian reappeared, and his status immediately far surpassed that of the Shang King at that time, as well as the former kings and emperors of Shang Tang and other respected positions, and chased after the god sacrificed by the merchants, so that the divine power of the Shang Dynasty completely overwhelmed the royal power, and no one dared to disagree."

"There is no doubt that Wu Xian can overwhelm the big merchants in his heyday with the power of one person, and his cultivation and means can almost be called the strongest in three generations, even if there are such beings as Xia Houqi and Peng Zu, they may not be able to beat him."

"You mean, this Wu Xian was so powerful as soon as he appeared, it should be Wu Xian himself who left traces at the time of the Yellow Emperor, not the name of the later ones?" Zhao Qing responded in a timely manner: "He was able to live for such a long time, it is likely that he took the 'immortal medicine'?" ”

"It can't be ruled out that Wu Xian relied on the cultivation mana he had accumulated, or other supernatural means." Shen Ge forgot to say: "However, judging from the fact that his son Wu Xian, who was born when he was in Taiwu, also lived for a long time, it is still more credible to say 'immortal medicine'. ”

In addition, when it comes to the ten witches of Lingshan, there is another somewhat bizarre saying: these ten gods and witches are all from one person's disciple, and their common master is the harlequin who was burned and killed in ten days in a more distant era. The harlequin has a big crab, and Lingshan is on top of the big crab's head. ”

Ten days? Could it be the ten sons of Di Jun? The Harlequin was killed by the Ten Days, perhaps proving that her strength is extremely high, and it will take multiple suns to eliminate it? Zhao Qing thought thoughtfully, and noticed that most of the clown's crabs did not die under this catastrophe.

In other words, the god of the merchant's sacrifice is suspected to be Emperor Jun, and a large number of sacrifices are made on the tenth day of December, obviously there is a ten-day revenge for killing the master, but Wu Xian came to the Shang Dynasty on purpose, what is the purpose?

"At present, it seems that Lingshan is borne by the crabs, so it is obvious that they can change their location and stop at different places, so that the ten witches on the mountain can collect medicine nearby."

"Probably because the raw materials for immortal medicine in Kyushu have long been collected, the areas where the world has witnessed the activities of giant crabs have gradually shifted to the North Sea, the West Sea, and the East China Sea......"

"Just a hundred years ago, Dayu left a "Yellow Emperor Experience" that is said to record many ancient treasure rumors and suspected to be made in the name of the Yellow Emperor of the Yu Dynasty, and the decipherment was initially completed in the hands of Taishi Wenzi."

"In a record of "The Yellow Emperor's Experience", it is mentioned that after Dayi shot the golden crow that carried it for ten days, Wu Xian, who was far away, also heard about it, and immediately rushed out of the mountain, and met Yi near the Hengtian Mountain to express his gratitude."

"Wu Xian said in the dialogue that the batch of immortal medicines he has on hand is too low, and he can only ascend to the gods if he takes them, and he is not worthy of Dayi's merits, and if he immediately collects all kinds of immortal herbs from Zuzhou, Penglai and other ten continents and three islands, and starts refining the emperor's immortal medicine, it will take at least more than a thousand years to succeed, and the effect of the medicine may not meet expectations, and if he rashly claims the emperor without permission, he may end up like Xingtian."

"Therefore, Wu Xian suggested that Dayi go to another Western Queen Mother who had an immortal elixir, ask this high-ranking god for a high-level immortal medicine, and promise to let his subordinate Wuxian Kingdom help in this......

"The Yellow Emperor's Experience in the Yellow Emperor is not recorded, but a few illustrations are drawn indicating the location of the places mentioned in this dialogue, such as the island on the sea that Wenzi translates as 'Zuzhou', which is roughly consistent with Zhonghe and Zhongli's statements. ”

It sounds like this "Yellow Emperor's Middle Experience" wrote about the events of Emperor Yao's period, and at first glance it was not made by the Yellow Emperor, but it is more similar to the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" created by Boyi, which is a few paragraphs of text without a beginning and no end with pictures, perhaps, it is equivalent to the Yu Dynasty version of "The Classic of Mountains and Seas"?

Zhao Qing secretly thought in his heart, it is said that Dayu originally read the "Yellow Emperor Experience", which said that there was a golden jade book on Wanwei Mountain, so he dug it out, so he was able to successfully control the water.

In addition, is there a grade division for immortal medicine? And the so-called "emperor" is not a cultivation realm in ancient times? Wu Xian has a steady supply of immortal medicine, is he still alive in today's world?

"The immortal elixir is also the immortal elixir." Next, Shen Ge's words just answered her first question: "In ancient times and ancient times, all herbs and medicines related to the Tianyan Realm were named 'immortal'. ”

"But in fact, a considerable number of them, although they also have the ability to prolong life, but the main effect is the supreme secret medicine that assists in breaking through the realm and improving cultivation, and even from many records, taking the corresponding level of immortal medicine should be the mainstream of the cultivation of the ancient gods."

"And with the extinction of the immortal medicine, that is, the immortal medicine, the number of 'Tianyan' realms in the past three generations is far less numerous than it was ten thousand years ago, and it seems that they all come from the descendants of the ancient great supernatural powers......"

Speaking of this, Shen Ge sighed and said, "There is a saying that after many great changes in heaven and earth, in today's world, new 'Tianyan' realm powerhouses are no longer allowed to be born. Otherwise, how could enlightened people like Lao Tzu and Wenzi be stopped by this threshold? ”

The implication of his words was obviously that whether or not he could refine a new immortal elixir was likely to be related to the upper limit of the future of an extremely talented person like Zhao Qing, and how far he could go on the path in the end.

In this regard, although there is a precedent of the "Fire Virtue Saint King True Talisman" that allows Xiqi to make three Tianyan Saints in a row, considering that he can trace his earliest ancestors and may not be as prominent as King Wen and King Wu, Zhao Qing can't help but pay attention to the statement that this immortal elixir can be used to break through the realm.

If it is only for the effect of prolonging life, she has no need for immortal medicine at present, but if she really finds that the main world does have the limit of "Tianyan", and the immortal medicine is necessary to break it, she still has to plan as soon as possible and cannot be leaked.

As for the "Yellow Emperor's Experience" that Wenzi has deciphered, it can only be said that most of the secrets contained in this book are ancient secrets, and there are obviously a lot of fabricated ingredients, although several origins of immortal grass are mentioned, but the distance is too far, without a second verification, it is estimated that no one will venture to go.

"Although the authenticity of the 'Ancestral Continent has immortal grass' was basically confirmed a hundred years ago, whether it was earlier when it was still in the stage of suspicion, or in the past hundred years, we have strictly sealed this news."

Speaking of this, Shen Ge paused for a moment, and suddenly asked, "Do you know why?" ”
