Volume 2: Zhongzhou Lost Butterfly Wings Spread Lightly, Hide Your Face and Ask Your Heart to Find Opportunities Chapter 14 Business Advertorials
More than 1,000 years ago, an imperial masterpiece called "Divine Power Heavenly Machine Collection" was published. This is a book that introduces the provenance of supernatural powers, and in short, this book is to tell you what kind of antiques will contain supernatural powers.
It is no surprise that once this book was released, it captured thousands of fans, and the entire cultivation world went crazy for it.
It is said that the author of this book is from Zhongzhou, and the pen name left on the book is called Tianjizi. His real name is no longer available, but he was originally an ordinary casual cultivator who was nameless, but by chance he mastered the method of judging the origin of the supernatural powers. With this ability, he used the spirit stones he had worked hard to save to select antiques everywhere, and finally obtained more than ten kinds of supernatural powers from these antiques.
It is simply an incredible thing that such a precious thing as supernatural powers can be described by such a huge quantity as "more than ten kinds". The vast majority of monks have never even touched the edge of supernatural powers in their lives, and if someone has one supernatural power, it is already a fluke, and occasionally I hear that someone actually has two supernatural powers, which can definitely make others blush and scold.
But Tianjizi actually has more than ten kinds of supernatural powers? This can definitely make people unable to complain. Because this amount can no longer be explained by coincidence, luck, etc., let alone a pile of countless antiques. The only answer is that he can really pick out the one that contains supernatural powers among thousands of antiques.
Although there are strong and weak supernatural powers, there will be a few outstanding ones with more than ten kinds of supernatural powers. Tianjizi relied on the powerful combat power provided by these supernatural powers, and passed all the way, and actually cultivated to the stage of transformation in one go.
After stepping into the period of transforming the gods, it is said that Tianjizi felt the way of heaven and responded to the heart of heaven, and decided to make the way to find supernatural powers public, so there was the book "Divine Power Heavenly Machine Collection".
In this book, Tianjizi devotes a considerable amount of space to introduce the causes, types, functions, etc. of supernatural powers, and cites a large number of factual arguments to demonstrate. This book has a clear point of view, novel ideas, and is also plain and rigorous, and has sufficient arguments, which is definitely a good work that can be used as a scientific research textbook.
Of course, these things like reports on scientific and technological achievements do not arouse any interest among the monks. The monks were concerned with finding the antiques that contained supernatural powers mentioned in the book. Tianjizi obviously knew this, and at the end of the book, he did not hesitate to inform the world of his methods.
In Tianjizi's view, the cause of supernatural powers is related to the impact of antiques during prehistoric disasters, and even more related to the environment in which they were buried after the catastrophe. So if you want to judge whether an antique contains supernatural powers, you can judge it by the location where the antique was unearthed and the surrounding environment.
In addition, if an antique contains magical powers, then it must have a different performance from ordinary antiques. This kind of performance is difficult to see from the antique itself, but there are often some unusual clues in the place where the antique was excavated.
To put it simply, an antique with supernatural powers often has a vision at the place where it was unearthed. In other words, if you want to find an antique with magical powers, you have to work its provenance. Tianjizi even blew himself up, and the dozen or so antiques containing supernatural powers that he obtained had different degrees of special features in the places where they were unearthed, and it was precisely because of their particularities that he paid to buy them.
In this way, Tianjizi introduced the concept of "provenance" into the identification method of antiques, and it was this concept that easily turned the cultivation world upside down.
Is it because this statement about "provenance" is particularly accurate?
This is not the case. The truth of the matter is quite the opposite, and the reason why "Divine Powers and Heavenly Treasures" has caused so much impact is because of its uncertainty.
At the end of the book, Tianjizi writes clearly in Dou Da characters: antiques with visions do not necessarily contain supernatural powers, and antiques with supernatural powers do not necessarily have supernatural powers, but antiques with visions have a greater chance of containing supernatural powers.
This sentence seems to reduce the meaning of the whole book, but in fact, this sentence is the essence of the book, and it is also the fundamental purpose of the book.
At that time, the monks regarded the "Divine Powers of Heaven Collection" as a sacred text to find supernatural powers, and everyone who bought antiques had to ask the source. Because the value of supernatural powers is immeasurable, those antiques with strange origins are often speculated to sky-high prices. It is true that many people have obtained precious talents through this antique. In this way, the authenticity of "Divine Power Heavenly Machine Collection" is even more undoubted, and even the monks simply named those antiques with visions as "Heavenly Machine Collection"!
Wealth touches people's hearts.
An antique is on the table, and what its provenance is actually depends on the seller's mouth, and the seller can completely say that an antique buried in a dung pit is all antique. And when you spend a lot of money to buy antiques, if you don't even touch the hair of the supernatural power in the end, you still can't blame the merchant, because "The Divine Power of the Heavenly Machine" makes it clear - antiques with visions of origin do not necessarily contain supernatural powers.
With the popularity of "Divine Powers and Heavenly Treasures", the mouths of merchants are becoming more and more unscored, and you are embarrassed to show people any antique if it does not have an unusual provenance. True and false stories are accompanied by antiques circulating in the market, and in the end, no one even knows where the story behind an antique comes from, and there is some credibility.
But the monks are still happy to do it, and the provenance of antiques has become an important part of measuring the price of an antique, and I don't know how many merchants have made a lot of money because of this book, and I don't know how many monks have lost their money for an antique in a dung pit.
This situation lasted until eight hundred years later, when Tianjizi's cultivation finally failed to go any further, and his longevity was fixed at 1,600 years of the Transformation Period.
Almost mythical Tianjizi unexpectedly took the initiative to strip off all the halo on his body before his death, and he broke the earth-shattering news in a public occasion that attracted the attention of thousands of people, saying that his "Divine Power Heavenly Machine Collection" was written under the joint instruction of several large chambers of commerce. Those chambers of commerce were the top business organizations in the Tian Yuan Continent, their tentacles were all over the continent, and their purpose in promoting the "Divine Power Heavenly Machine Collection" was to grab an astronomical amount of spirit stones from ordinary cultivators, and as a reward, they helped Tianji Zi step into the god transformation stage back then.
After Tianjizi stepped into the god period through this means, he felt that he had harmed the people of the world, and his heart was always difficult to let go, and he had been trapped in the demons for many years, and it was difficult to cultivate an inch, and because of various concerns, he could not reveal the truth to the world, until the end of his life was about to shake out the truth of this earth-shattering deception, hoping that the monks of the world would no longer be bewitched by the merchants, and he could also seek peace of mind before he died.
When a man is about to die, his words are good. Tianjizi's words finally sobered up the monks, and it turned out that everyone in the world had been fooled by the so-called Tianji for eight hundred years. After all, Tianjizi did not say who dominated the chess game in the end, and no one would point the finger at some behemoth based on speculation.
With the passage of time, this "shocking scam caused by a book" came to an end, and those who were deceived could only consider themselves unlucky, and glad that they still had the opportunity to admit their bad luck. After all, 800 years is long enough even for monks, and it is simply unimaginable how many monks have been fooled to death by the "Heavenly Secret Hide".
People are always forgetful, especially when it comes to certain things, and monks are no exception.
The saying of "Tianji Collection" has slowly disappeared in the long river of history, and the past that everyone who buys antiques must ask the source has long become a joke, and the pricing of antiques has slowly returned to the normal trajectory, and the story of the past has slowly only existed in legends.
Qian Yang sorted out the context of the Heavenly Secret Secret, and couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, why does the scam always give people a sense of déjà vu? Is it that the wisdom of human beings stops there, or is it the same demon that blinds human beings all the time?
Tang Xiaoguo quietly listened to the fat man's story, puffed out his cheeks and spoke: "Everyone Tianjizi himself admits that he is a liar, how can there be a fool who believes in such nonsense as 'Tianjizang' after so many years?"
Miss Tang is obviously talking about Qi Mu, of course, she also piggybacks on the fat man.
Qi Mu's expression remained unchanged: "Since you believe that Tianjizi is a liar, why do you still believe what he said in the end?"
Tang Xiaoguo was speechless by Qi Mu's strong words. What Qi Sangongzi said is a universal truth, if a person says that he is a good person, then he is not necessarily a good person. But if a person says that he is a liar, then he must be a liar. Because if he is telling the truth, then he is a liar, and if he is telling a lie, then ...... Naturally, a liar is also a liar.
Chu Nan interjected at this time: "Tianjizi said that Tianjizang was true after turning into a god, and said that Tianjizang was false before he died, in comparison, naturally what he said before he died was more credible!" It seems that he is on Tang Xiaoguo's side.
Miss Tang nodded with satisfaction, and looked at the fat man again, with a little threat in her eyes.
The fat man hurriedly said: "Of course I don't believe in such a thing as Tianji's hiding!"
Qi Mu glared angrily: "You traitor!"
The fat man ignored him and smiled at Tang Xiaoguo: "However, the performance of those yin spirits is really difficult to explain, I think it is barely reasonable to rely on the Heavenly Secret Hide." ”
Tang Xiaoguo understood this, and the fat man still supported Qi Mu in a roundabout way.
The score was 2-2.
Miss Tang's heart is nameless, she really can't figure it out, it's such an obvious scam, why are some people fooled? People have clearly told you that it's fake, how can you, who are usually very weird, admit death?
"Qian Yang, is what you said about Tianji Hidden true or false?"
