The Nine Spirits Flying Flame Talisman is carved from mutton fat white jade, three inches square, one finger is thick, the four corners are round, and the tentacles are smooth and greasy.

When Bai Cheng seized this jade talisman from Lu Jianshan, he saw that he didn't cherish it very much, and thought that this jade talisman was similar to the green worm shield that Wei Qianxue was wearing, and it was a worthless big road goods. ”

The Qingji Daoist gently rubbed the jade talisman in his hand and explained: "If the poor Dao guesses correctly, this jade talisman is a magic weapon carefully made by the masters of the Dao Sect hundreds of years ago, which is different from the ordinary magic weapons that are circulating today. ”

Speaking of this, Qingji Daoist looked up at Bai Cheng and said: "Senior disciple doesn't know, among the Daomen, with a hundred years as the boundary, the magic weapons made a hundred years ago are often cherished with materials, complex workmanship, and powerful, but there is a shortcoming, that is, it is not easy to urge. The magic tools made in the past hundred years are not the same, they often use ordinary materials, simple workmanship, and poor power, but they are better than simple to use, as long as they are a little bit of cultivation, they can be used. Guess what's going on?"

Bai Cheng thought about it, and suddenly his heart moved, and said, "But it has something to do with the north and south of the great river and the competition between the seven countries?"

Qingji Daoren smiled lightly: "Brother Xian is really smart, a little bit is clear, these two things are indeed related, but it's a long story." ”

Bai Cheng said: "There is nothing to do left and right, and I also ask my senior brother to give advice." ”

Qingji Taoist poured a cup of tea, moistened his mouth, and then talked about the changes in the world for hundreds of years.

Seven hundred years ago, the Great Jin Dynasty ended the disputes of the countries, swept Liuhe, unified the world, and governed the country for hundreds of years.

At that time, the cultivators were either alchemy and convincing on weekdays, or they were exploring the heavens and the earth, and few people practiced the Taoist techniques used for fighting, even if there were some disputes, they were all disputes of righteousness and reason, and the two sides of the struggle were often masters who had a deep understanding of the Great Dao, and junior disciples were not allowed to participate in the fight.

Therefore, when those senior masters made magic weapons, they did not take into account the use of junior disciples, and the magic weapons they made, disciples below the level of Qi cultivation, could not be refined at all. ”

Until more than 100 years ago, the Hu people of the five northern tribes rose, established the Great Wei, went south along the Kunlun Mountain, won seven battles and seven victories, attacked Luoyang, defeated the Great Jin, and only some remaining royal families fled to Jiangdong and re-established the country, which is now the Jin Kingdom. ”

At that time, Shenzhou Lu Shen, everywhere smoke, the world's heroes rose up, and the Hu people fought, among which the three forces with the strongest resistance were Bianjing Zhao, Changxing Chen and Lanling Xiao, but the Great Wei was too strong back then, although these three were also very brave, but in the end they could not resist, after many years of war, they crossed south one after another, and established the Song State, the Liang State and the Chen State respectively.

Together, these three and the Jin State are the Four Kingdoms of Jiangdong, but although the Four Kingdoms are established, in terms of the situation at that time, the Great Wei is still in absolute upper hand.

The Great Wei Emperor Tuoba Jue intended to dominate the world, and was determined to lead millions of troops to the south of the Yangtze River.

However, the luck of inviting heaven, on the eve of Tuoba Jue's army, he suddenly died in the army, the Great Wei was in chaos from then on, and there was no time to look south, after several years of civil war, it was finally divided into three, which is now the three northern kingdoms of Wei, Qi and Zhou, but after the separation of these three kingdoms, they were no longer able to invade the south, and since then the two sides have confronted each other, and it has been a hundred years.

Bai Cheng came to this world, and he had also read history, and vaguely felt that the history of this world was somewhat similar to the earth, but it was completely different when he studied it carefully. Today, when I hear the details of the future of the Taoist, I only feel that there are some similarities with the period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties on the earth, but at that time, so many countries did not coexist, and there was not such a long time.

Hearing this, Bai Cheng asked, "It turns out that there is still this history, and the junior brother only knows it so clearly today, but I don't know what it has to do with the matter of magic weapons?"

Qingji Daoist didn't answer, but asked: "Senior brother, do you know that the five clans in the north have always lived by water, and there are no powerful means, and they have been repeatedly defeated in the wars with my Central Plains for thousands of years, why can they suddenly rise up and defeat the Great Jin?"

Bai Cheng said, "This is really strange. ”

Qingji Taoist said: "This matter has to start from the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism, when the two doors of Buddhism and Taoism were spread in the Central Plains, only because the two sides did not agree with the concept, there was some fighting, and then the struggle became more and more intense, which led to the six Venerable Buddhas to debate the seven real people of the Daomen, the two sides in Yunmengze 100 days of debate, and finally five of the six Venerables of Buddhism were silent, and the remaining one led Buddhism to retreat to the northern grassland. ”

Hearing this, Bai Cheng secretly said in his heart, it seems that these seven real people are really not vegetarians, and their ability to fight in a team is really not weak.

Qingji Daoist didn't know what Bai Cheng was thinking, only to see him nod frequently, thinking that he was listening very carefully, and then said: "Unexpectedly, after the Buddhism retreated to the grassland, it mixed with the local five ethnic groups and the Hu people. Later, the Great Wei Dynasty unified the grassland and waved its army to the south, and Buddhism took the opportunity to send countless masters. ”

Qingji Daoist took a sip of tea, and then said: "My Daomen is the state religion of the Great Jin Dynasty, naturally it is to fight back, and in the following years, the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism fought in the Central Plains, and the two sides did everything they could, and came up with countless secret methods for fighting. ”

Speaking of this, the sad look on the face of the Qingji Daoist flashed, and then he continued: "It wasn't until later, when one of the predecessors of the Dao Gate traveled to the world, he happened to go to a very mysterious place and learned an extremely clever method, which is to combine the materials needed to make a magic weapon. The techniques are listed one by one, the valuable things are tested, the cheap things are selected to replace, and then the more cumbersome steps in the production techniques are eliminated, leaving only the simplest method, and then a few disciples are selected, each person only learns one material, only one technique, after learning, let each person only make one step of the magic weapon, and after this step is completed, it will be handed over to the next person to continue to make. In this way, although the power of the magic weapons produced is slightly weaker, the number is very large, and the requirements for use are also reduced a lot, even the junior disciples who have just peeked into the path can manipulate it at will. After the senior tested in the door, he found that this method was extremely easy to use, and named it the flowing water method, announcing the world of Taoism, once this method was transmitted, all the major branches of the Taoist gate were tried, and after a try, it was really successful, and the battle with Buddhism had the upper hand. Since then, all the magic vessels in the world have been made using the flowing water method. Poor Dao just saw that this jade talisman was made of fine materials and cumbersome to make, so he knew that it was not made by the flowing water method, but should be an antiquity hundreds of years ago. ”

Bai Cheng was dumbfounded when he heard this, and secretly said in his heart that he was afraid that it was not a flow method, but an assembly line operation method, this senior could not have traveled to the earth, thinking so in his heart, but he said in his mouth: "It turns out that there is such a reason." ”

Qingji Daoist said: "Since this jade talisman was made by the predecessors of the sect hundreds of years ago, it cannot be refined at all without the ability to practice qi, so the poor Dao is strange, why can the junior disciple refine this thing." ”

Bai Cheng thought about it for a while and said, "As soon as Senior Brother said it, I remembered that Zhang Daoren had said that day that Lu Jianshan's cultivation was insufficient, and he couldn't make the two most powerful changes, could it be that this thing is special, and it can be used without complete refining?"

Qingji Daoist shook his head and said, "Lu Jianshan's ability to urge this thing is borrowed from the secret method of the Daomen, which is different from the junior disciple. ”

Bai Cheng spread his hands and said, "In this way, could it be that this thing is related to the younger brother?"
