Chapter 18: Exploring the Palace at Night
"This Cave Heavenly Spirit Weapon is not omnipotent, the Blood Demon Sect has even sent six monks from the Golden Pill Stage, how can it hide the past?" "Later, I learned that I needed to have the qi of a true dragon to enter this cave heavenly spirit weapon. That's why I married a human emperor. ”
Wen Ruyu said faintly: "What I practice is the jade wrapping technique, and absorbing the essence of jade qi will help me cultivate. However, I am also a Xuanyin body, and if this essence jade qi is absorbed too much, the effect of other elixirs on cutting hair and washing the marrow will be greatly reduced, and only this dragon fruit will not be affected by this. I didn't have the ability to collect the true dragon qi, so I had to marry the previous emperor of the Jade Dragon Empire and give birth to a prince so that he could enter it and take down this dragon fruit for me. ”
When Du Ziping heard this, he understood why Wen Ruyu was willing to marry his father as a monk, and why he had been a national teacher for so many years as a dragon slayer. It is recorded in the dragon slaying recipe that this dragon fruit contains a trace of true dragon qi, which can strengthen the foundation of the monk during the fetal movement period.
"Did Fairy Wen find the entrance to this Cave Heavenly Spirit Weapon?" Fan Qilong sighed in his heart and asked again.
"Not yet, but soon. There is a Huguo Temple in the Jade Dragon Empire, and the abbot of the temple is called Tianyun. This person should be a casual cultivator, who has already broken off the idea of continuing to cultivate, and is about the cultivation of the second or third level of qi induction, and he still has a little bit of Buddhist mana on his body. ”
"Once, when Tianyun entered the palace to give a lecture, I accidentally caught a glimpse of a place in the palace where there was a faint fluctuation of mana, and later I found out that this was a very clever Buddhist prohibition. I tried my best to break it, and it wasn't until I asked him to give a lecture again that the ban was reacted. ”
"I don't want this Cave Heavenly Spirit Artifact to appear too soon, so I won't invite Tianyun to come and give a lecture. It's just that it is estimated that this dragon fruit is about to ripen, so he invited him, but unexpectedly, he has something to do not be in the temple, and it is estimated that he will come back in a few days. ”
"When preaching, it can stimulate the mana of Buddhism and make the ban react, this is the first time I have heard of this, this Tianyun is only afraid that he is not waiting for idlers," Fan Qilong frowned.
I thought the same thing, but when I saw the rosary in his hand, I understood. The rosary was made by the Shangguan family back then, and it was made of rare Jiaolong wood," Wen Ruyu replied.
"This dragon wood grows in the dragon cave, it is extremely hard, and it has been contaminated with a trace of true dragon energy. The Shangguan family specially found it back then. It also depicts the prohibition of the Buddha's door, which is called the prohibition of children and mothers. The rosary is depicted on the child ban, which has two uses, one is to protect the true dragon's qi from dissipating, and the other is to break the mother ban. When Tianyun chanted the scriptures, the rosary reacted with the prohibition of the child and mother of the cave heaven spirit weapon. ”
"This dragon wood has no other use, and I have nowhere to buy it. And the Jiaolong Cave, I don't know where it is, and even if I do, with my cultivation, going there will only be death. And I have this dragon wood in my hand, there is no way to break the ban, and I can't break the ban. ”
"It's just that I don't understand, Brother Fan, how did you know that I have the dragon fruit here?" Wen Ruyu suddenly asked again. "The Shangguan family helped the Jade Dragon Empire build the country back then, although not many people knew about this back then, but if someone wanted to investigate, they would find out. It's just that no one knows about the fact that there is a true dragon qi, otherwise, how could the Jade Dragon Empire keep this Ascending Dragon Fruit Tree for so long?"
"Fairy Wen, I also have a question, you only found out about this true dragon qi later, how did you judge what the true dragon qi looked like? Otherwise, how could you know if this dragon wood was really contaminated with the true dragon qi?" Fan Qilong didn't answer, but asked rhetorically.
"If I tell this secret, Brother Fan, will you also tell me your secret?" Wen Ruyu smiled.
"Okay, as long as Fairy Wen is willing to say, I will be honest," Fan Qilong said.
"My great-grandmother was from the Shangguan family, and when the Shangguan family had an accident, she was away from the trouble, so she escaped this difficulty. It's just that her cultivation is not high, and she has never said her true identity. I discovered this secret when I was sorting through her relics, and she also left behind a secret technique to observe the true dragon's qi. She only knew that this cave heavenly spirit weapon had the qi of a true dragon before she could enter, and she didn't know that there were dragon wood prayer beads in the Huguo Temple, otherwise, why should I marry that old emperor? Just take that string of prayer beads. Wen Ruyu said quietly.
"It's not a secret to me, a few months ago, I discovered a cave of my predecessor, this person is called Shangguan Qian, and the jade slip left behind said that you can go to the palace of the Jade Dragon Empire to get the dragon fruit. It's just that the jade slip said very concisely, and after listening to Fairy Wen's words today, I understood," Fan Qilong finished speaking, and handed over a jade slip. "And I found Fairy Wen here, if it weren't for the dragon fruit, how could you stay here for so many years, and still get married and have children. ”
After Wen Ruyu read the jade slip, she nodded.
"Why didn't Fairy Wen bring that rosary? and put it with Tianyun? Once he came back late, the dragon fruit would rot when it ripiated, causing it to become invalid, or its utility would be greatly reduced, and it would be too late to regret it," Fan Qilong asked puzzled.
Wen Ruyu said: "Haven't you thought about it, if you want to enter this cave heavenly spirit weapon, a person only needs to have a prayer bead. It was inconvenient for me to do it at the palace that day. At night, I quietly entered the meditation room of Tianyun, but did not find the string of prayer beads. Later, he was not in the temple and put it on hold until now. ”
At this time, Wen Ruyu said again: "Brother Fan, you will hide in the palace for a few days, and when the ban is broken, you and I will snatch the old monk's rosary, and you can enter the cave heavenly spirit weapon." ”
Fan Qilong nodded and said, "Excuse me." Then he stepped on a golden leaf-like magic weapon, flashed in the air, and disappeared.
Du Ziping calculated in his stomach that Tianyun should have discovered this matter a long time ago, so he stayed in this Huguo Temple for so many years. He was afraid that he would also figure out when this dragon fruit would ripen, so he didn't make the first move. Otherwise, with his cultivation, snatching this Cave Heaven Spirit Weapon would attract the attention of all sects and factions, and he would not be able to keep it at that time, but he was afraid that he would not even be able to get a Ascending Dragon Fruit.
He flipped through the Vajra Phaseless Trick and the Wei Camel Descending Demon Trick again, picked up the empty jade box again, looked at it carefully for a while, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, put these things in his sleeve, and quietly walked out of the meditation room and went to the palace.
He didn't want to directly enter the cave Heavenly Spirit Weapon this time, this Wen Ruyu had been waiting for so many years, but he was afraid that as soon as he got close to it, he would be discovered by her. After all, this palace is the place where he grew up, and the rivers and mountains of this Jade Dragon Empire are left by his ancestors, even if he has set foot in the cultivation realm, everything in this mortal world cannot be completely parted after all.
The moon is as bright as water at night, and the scenery of the palace is as bright as ever. He looked at the carved fence and jade masonry, and a melancholy feeling rose in his heart, sighed, and secretly said, "I have decided to embark on this path of cultivation, and worldly things should not make waves again. ”
He now has a good impression of Wen Ruyu in his heart. You must know that with Wen Ruyu's means, it is easy to kill a mortal emperor that day. But she didn't do it, that is, she let his own son Du Zimo compete for the position, and she didn't break through this bottom line, which shows that she is not a person who kills indiscriminately.
There was still some light in the imperial study in the distance, and words were faintly heard. Du Ziping was curious, so he leaned forward. There are two people in this imperial study, one old and one young. The young man wearing a dragon robe is Wen Ruyu's biological son Du Zimo, and he also has a faint bit of monk's breath on his body, but he has just entered the first layer of qi induction, it seems that his cultivation qualifications are not good, and Wen Ruyu is just to make this son healthy. The old man was Lu Xiang, the auxiliary minister of the year, who had not seen him for several years, but he was really a little older.
Du Ziping listened to a few words, and it turned out that the two monarchs and ministers were discussing state affairs. But I heard that Lu Xiang said: "Your Majesty, the Jade Dragon Empire looks infinite on the surface, but in fact, it is full of dangers and hidden dangers. This Yulong River is overflowing, and it is right to repair the embankment, but our treasury is empty. ”
"If the flood is dealt with in this way, it will inevitably be forcibly conscripted, and the Jade Dragon Emperor Tian has been peaceful for a long time, and the officials below will inevitably be a little lax, and the officials below will definitely take the opportunity to embezzle and extort. The victims were not fed, and they were forced to build embankments to serve in the Yao service, which caused civil strife. Now Baiyue in the southeast and Dongqiang in the northwest are in full bloom, and they have been eyeing each other, but I am afraid that there will be chaos at that time," Lu Xiang said.
When Du Zimo heard this, he nodded and said, "It's according to your opinion." ”
When Du Ziping saw this, he sighed secretly, when he ascended the throne that day, he was young and did not understand state affairs, so he naturally did not realize Lu Xiang's heart for the country. Although he himself is smart, he has preconceived ideas, and he is extremely disgusted with Lu Xiang in his heart. If he didn't learn the Tao, when he grew older, he was afraid that one of Lu Xiang and him would end up extremely miserable, and it would not be a good thing for the entire Jade Dragon Empire. Now it seems that this Du Zimo is more suitable than him as the emperor.
He wandered around the palace for two hours, his mind slowly calmed down, and he prepared to leave. Just passing by a place called the Buddha Hall, the rosary in the Dharma treasure bag suddenly moved a few times.
At this time, a faint golden light also shot out from the Buddha Hall, and he immediately knew that the Shangguan family's Cave Heaven Spirit Weapon should be hidden in it.
He didn't want to directly enter the cave Heavenly Spirit Weapon this time, this Wen Ruyu had been waiting for so many years, but he was afraid that as soon as he got close to it, he would be discovered by her.
When he was hesitating, he raised his eyebrows, and quickly dodged, climbed over the palace wall, and ran outside the palace. As soon as he left, there were two figures, one in front and one behind, and came to the front of the Buddha Hall. The one in front is Wen Ruyu, and the one in the back is Fan Qilong.
Fan Qilong asked, "Fairy Wen, what's wrong?"
"There was some movement in this Buddha Hall just now," Wen Ruyu said.
"The entrance to the Heavenly Spirit Weapon is here?" Fan Qilong immediately woke up.
"Yes, it's just that I came here and didn't find anything abnormal," Wen Ruyu said with some confusion.
"Since it's okay, let's go back," Fan Qilong persuaded, but he secretly thought in his heart, this woman is afraid that there is something abnormal for this dragon fruit.
