When I returned to Xianyang City, it was already late at night.

Yingzheng asked Ji Fa to live in the palace, and tomorrow morning they would go to Sima Mansion to refine Tianmu together.

After settling Ji Fa, Ying Zheng hid the few things he had just brought back in the secret compartment of the inner room of the imperial study, and then took the "Dragon Hunting Classic" and looked at it carefully.

Open the cover, on the pale blue-yellow copper foil, a row of bright red oracle bone inscriptions are written: The Emperor of the Five Elements Tianchengwu Yu Zhi, leaving and supplementing this book for the purpose of repairing the dragon vein.

There is no payment, but it is not difficult to see that this sentence was written by Fu Xi.

Flip through this homepage, and there is a compendium at the back.

The first is the introduction of the dragon family, and the content here, Ying Zheng is naturally the first time to see it.

I saw that the first page read:

The dragon, the respect of the egg race, is also said to be based on the five elements, divided into five types of true dragons: green dragon, flame dragon, blue dragon, yellow dragon, and water dragon.

The green dragon belongs to the yang, the head of its group, and brings four types of female dragons to this chaos in the Cambrian era, opening up the realm of Hongmeng, so that the egg tribe can live and reproduce.

According to the ancestors of the Protoss, Canglong fell due to the breeding of several mortal dragons, and the female dragon never appeared again......

There are some words on this page, Ying Zheng didn't recognize it, so he took out the "Book of Changes" to compare them one by one.

It is not difficult to see from the period that the dragon clan is also the same as the phoenix clan, classified according to the five elements, and the only male is the green dragon, that is, the dragon emperor in the mouth of the ice phoenix, and the other four categories are female dragons.

And the clue left by the Protoss is that the earth-attribute Canglong gave birth to many mortal dragons, and later died due to overwork or other reasons.

As for Fanlong, he had heard Ji Fa say that it was called a dinosaur by the later Tiancheng lineage, and almost all of the dinosaurs were buried in Pangu's counterattack against the dragon clan back then.

It is precisely for this reason that the Protoss and the Dragons have returned to the negotiating table.

Ying Zheng then looked down, only to see that it was written:

The three female dragons have ancestral dragons, which are divided into dragons, dragons, dragons, dragons, dragons, and dragons. The ancestral dragons guarded all sides in the Sea of Nine Shadows, and they were not allowed to leave without permission.

The real dragons all live in Longtan and never go out, only the Feng clan and Xuanwu can visit the shrine.

Longtan is for Hou Yi, Zhu Rong and other gods when they were taken hostage, opened up for the real dragon, located under the dragon yuan.

The location of Longyuan is unknown, and it is difficult to find the trace of Longtan......

Behind it, there is a map, which impressively depicts the location of the so-called Long Yuan, as well as the route to reach Long Yuan.

There is no doubt that it is this map that the Dragon Emperor is worried about!

It can be said that no matter who you are, as long as you are in the Nine Shadows and hold this map, you can find Long Yuan, go deep into Longtan, and see where the real dragon is.

To say that the Tiancheng Yimai took this diagram to talk to the Dragon Emperor about things, this is understandable, after all, the two sides need to cooperate to repair the damaged dragon vein.

But once the dragon vein is completely repaired, the inheritance of the Tiancheng vein is interrupted, and there are ordinary human races with the map to find the dragon clan, what should I do?

Although the human race poses no threat to the Dragon Emperor, the secret that has been hidden for tens of thousands of years will definitely be completely exposed.

If the dragons want to live in peace, they can't let the humans know any information about them, and this "Dragon Hunting Codex" is the key.

Ying Zheng secretly laughed in his heart: Doesn't the Dragon Emperor know that this thing can be copied and copied?

However, for the sake of the peace of future generations, it is better not to annoy the dragon clan, otherwise there will be another major earthquake, a major flood or the like, and all the efforts of the predecessors will be in vain.

This "Dragon Hunting Codex" must not only be handed over to the Dragon Emperor, but also prohibit the outflow of all related things!

After pondering for a while, Ying Zheng made up his mind and continued to look back.

Immediately afterward, he noticed that the texts mentioned something unique to true dragons - the dragon pill.

But the classics say that Fu Xi only heard about it back then, but did not see it in person, and the efficacy is unknown.

Looking further back, there is an introduction to the Feng Clan and the Xuanwu Clan, among which the Ice Polar Snow Region and Vermilion Bird Mountain that he has just visited are impressively recorded.

Ying Zheng also paid special attention to the matter of Jin Crow, but what was recorded in the classics was too simplistic, only saying that Jin Crow was imprisoned in Shaoyang because he let go of Pangu, so he never saw it.

At the end of the "Dragon Hunting Classic", there is a layout map of the entire Nine Shadows, in which the habitats of various sacred birds and beasts are also marked.

It can be said that this is one of the most detailed additions to the entire "Classic of Mountains and Seas".

According to the description in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", Ying Zheng compared the route he had personally traveled to with the map little by little, and before he knew it, it was late at night.

"I Have a Catalogue of Ghosts and Gods"

Maybe he slept too late, and when Ji sent to knock on the door, Yingzheng hadn't gotten up yet.

After packing up, the master and apprentice took the water-based Nirvana bead containing the source blood and went straight to the Treasure Pavilion of Sima Mansion.

Xu Fu waited outside the door with a smile and greeted him: "Master, the king, let me wait last night." ”

Ying Zheng then remembered that Ji Fa didn't come back last night, but he forgot to inform him.

"I came back late last night, and stayed in the palace."

"It's good to be safe." Xu Fu said as he took out a pill from his arms, "Ancestor, take a look, how is the condition of my newly refined pill?" ”

"Don't bother the master first, I'll take a look first." Ying Zheng took the pill first, first smelled it, licked it, and said, "It's a little mushy, and the taste is a little hard, it should be a little hot." ”

Ji Fa looked at Ying Zheng with a wry smile and said, "I ask you to practice alchemy more on weekdays, but you always say that you don't have time, why, now you still learn to evaluate pills?" ”

Ying Zheng said with a smile: "Usually there are indeed a lot of things, but I have to practice more in the future, and I can't let this Hu Yu's apprentice surpass me." ”

"Xu Fu doesn't dare." His words frightened Xu Fu and hurriedly bowed.

"Haha, I'm joking." Ying Zheng smiled, "Xu Fu, if you make great progress, it's too late for me to be happy, but I'll give you a task now." My master and I are going to stay in the secret room for a few days, and we don't want to be disturbed by anyone, so when it's time to eat, you can just leave the food at the door. If there's anything else, I'll come out to you. ”

With that, Ying Zheng handed him a token.

Xu Fu took the token and said, "The student takes the order!" ”

Ji Fa added on the side: "One more thing, is the spring water I asked you to prepare before, have you prepared?" ”

Xu Fu replied, "It's all stored at the door of the secret room." ”

"I'm afraid it's not enough." Ji Fa said, "Let the guards outside the door fetch more, if we don't shout to stop, you don't interrupt." ”

"Okay."

Ji Fa and Ying Zheng explained a few more words, turned around and entered the inner room, and saw three large vats full of clear water, and there were two buckets next to the vats.

"I'll leave the matter of carrying water to you." Ji Fa threw down such a sentence and entered the secret passage.

Ying Zheng: "......"

After filling two buckets, Ying Zheng carried it into the secret room.

In addition to Jiuding, there are also three heavenly eyes stored in the secret room, which are the one guarded by Jairus, Baxia, and Xuanyi.

It can be said that in this not very large secret room, there are actually half of the most critical artifacts in the world.

Ying Zheng held the Nirvana Bead in his hand, looked at it again and again, and asked Xiang Ji Fa: "Master, the Ice Phoenix Patriarch said that the bead cannot be destroyed, nor can the source blood be drawn out, otherwise it will destroy the vitality of the source blood, so what should we do?" ”

Ji Fa said: "This source blood has been stored for tens of thousands of years, and it can remain active, and it is really a loss of Nirvana Pearl, but the attributes of the two source blood are different, the blood of Fuxi is mostly used in Jiuding, while the blood of Nuwa is used for Tianmu." ”

"Let's try to upgrade Jiuding first." Ying Zheng nodded and looked at the Jiuding, but saw that the nine Dading had changed slightly from before.

On the surface of the belly of the nine big tripods, a big character is hung on each other, which turns out to be the original nine zodiac signs.

The one on the outermost one that they often use has a "tiger" character hanging on it.

"Master, what are you doing here?"

"What a fuss." Ji Fa glanced at him and said, "Didn't I tell you, the original gods used nine zodiac signs to distinguish Jiuding, and it was not until the Five Emperors period that Kyushu was listed to represent the nine heavenly eyes, thus replacing Jiuxiao. Labeling them like this now is just reverting to their original names. ”

"Hehe, this is better than before, I used to always can't tell them apart, now it's okay." Ying Zheng said with a smile.

Ji Fa pointed to the Tiger Ding in front of him and said: "We activated this Tiger Ding before, but we haven't induced its spirituality yet, only by inducing its spirituality can we achieve a fit with Fuxi's source blood, and then we can refine Tianmu." ”

"Induce spiritual ......," Ying Zheng muttered, "It sounds interesting, and I still ask the master to tell me what to do." ”

"The old rule is to pour in half a tripod of spring water, and then boil the original grains." Ji Fa commanded, "Then put the Nirvana Bead into the box under the belly of the Ding, and let the source blood release the spirituality." ”

Ying Zheng responded, directly poured two buckets of spring water into the body of the ding, then poured some original grains, and put the nirvana beads into the belly of the ding, and then brought a few buckets of spring water in, and then lit charcoal under the tiger ding.

Taking advantage of the heating process, the master and apprentice activated the other eight Da Ding in turn.

To Ying Zheng's surprise, the activation methods of these eight tripods were all different!

Some are raised on the ears, some are twisted on the pattern on the body, and some are turned the ring of the foot.

After some tossing, the water in the tiger tripod had already been boiled, and the original grains had been boiled into porridge, which was then absorbed by the tiger tripod.

According to Ji Fa's instructions, Ying Zheng poured in a certain amount of seeds and added more charcoal under the ding.

"Master, are the other eight tripods also on fire?"

Ji Fa glanced at him and said angrily: "Just a Nirvana Pearl, you can't get enough points if you burn the fire." ”

Ying Zheng stuck out his tongue, feeling that he had indeed asked an idiotic question.

At this moment, I only heard the sound of the liquid surface bubbling in the tiger ding began to get bigger, and the bubbles became bigger and bigger, and then the gruel-like liquid surface began to slowly rotate.

The master and apprentice climbed the ladder and looked closely, only to see that the liquid level was turning faster and faster, and the large bubbles on it were bursting.

Just in a moment of surprise, I only heard a "pop", and a blue light and shadow bounced into the air from the liquid surface in Ding's body, exceeding the distance of Ding's ears about one head, and fell into Ding's belly.

"It jumped out on its own?" Ying Zhenghu said suspiciously.

"It should be." Ji Fa responded.

Ying Zheng muttered, "How do I feel like the imperial chef is flipping the spoon." ”

Ji Fa: "......"

After the Nirvana bead fell back to the belly, it began to rotate with the gruel-like spring water, and what was visible to the naked eye was that there were three red dots in it that were getting brighter and brighter, presumably the three drops of Fuxi's source blood.

As the porridge began to thin and become transparent, the height of the liquid level decreased, as if it had been sucked away.

After about a quarter of an hour, the porridge in the belly had dried up, and there was not a drop left.

And the Nirvana Bead is still spinning alone, like a child who has not eaten enough.

And those three drops of source blood had grown to be a little bigger than a bean grain, and they shone red slightly.

At the same time, the temperature of the tiger tripod itself also increased, and it became more and more red, as if it had been burned in a blazing fire.

This is the first time that this situation has appeared for Jiuding, which is invulnerable.
