Chapter 9 Shangqing contains the elephant sword
Coming out of the commercial house from all over the world, Cheng Ming and his party found a restaurant for lunch.
After the meal, Cheng Ming took out the "Peace Post" for everyone to enjoy, in the end, it is the work of the sage, so that everyone is full of praise.
Xu Yingshan first told Cheng Ming that he could buy it at a premium.
The reason why Cheng Ming took this "Peace Post" is entirely because of the other "Shangqing Hanxiang Jianjian Diagram", and it is not impossible to transfer it immediately. It's just that it's too strange for him to transfer now, so he replied and waited a year to talk.
Xu Yingshan didn't expect Cheng Ming to transfer it immediately, and seeing Cheng Ming say this, he hurriedly asked Cheng Ming that if he had the idea of transferring in the future, he must tell him.
Cheng Ming also smiled and agreed.
Bidding farewell to Xu Yingshan, who was reluctant to fall in love with "Ping An Sticker", Cheng Ming and his entourage went back to his villa.
took Lu Jiangdong and them into the living room, and Cheng Ming personally poured tea for everyone.
"Brother Lu, how about you taste this tea?" Cheng Ming made a gesture.
Lu Jiangdong picked up the bowl in front of him, opened the lid, and suddenly there was a clear spiritual breath rushing to his face, which immediately made him intoxicated, and it took a while before he came back to his senses, and took a deep breath, as if he wanted to suck up the air in front of him.
"This tea ......"
Lu Jiangdong looked at Cheng Ming with some incredulity, and saw Cheng Ming smiling and signaling to him, and then he drank it.
Lu Jiangdong took a sip carefully, and felt as if he had drunk a sip of elixir and jade liquid, and his face was full of intoxication.
When he came back to his senses, he drank the tea soup and tea leaves in small sips.
"How?" Cheng Ming asked with a smile.
Lu Jiangdong said with an intoxicated face: "This thing should only exist in the sky, and it is rare to find it in the world." Brother. I wonder where this tea comes from?"
Cheng Ming smiled mysteriously: "I can only say that this tea is except for me." There is no one in this world who will have it. If Brother Lu asks for you, I'll send you some later. ”
Speaking of which. He smiled secretly, in fact, this tea is not a top-notch tea in the Central Continent, but because it grows in a place where the aura is abundant, it is of course extraordinary when it is brought to the watch world.
"What's so embarrassing?" Lu Jiangdong hurriedly excused himself.
Cheng Ming said: "It's okay, I still have some here, but you have to save a little bit of this tea." ”
Although. This tea is more or less for him, but he still knows the truth that scarcity is expensive, and there are a lot of this tea at once, which is easy to attract the attention of others.
"Then I'll be disrespectful. After thinking about it, Lu Jiangdong still didn't resist the temptation: "By the way, what's the name of this tea?"
"Qingling tea. "This tea is called this name in the Central Continent, and Cheng Ming has not changed it.
Lu Jiangdong said with a smile: "I feel that compared with Qingxin tea, the name of this tea is more appropriate." ”
Cheng Ming smiled. Xin said: "Of course, the two levels of tea can't be compared together. ”
After chatting together for a while, Lu Jiangdong took out an invitation card with a gilded surface and handed it to Cheng Ming.
Cheng Ming took the invitation and opened it: "Brother Lu." Why do you still use you to send the invitation to this medicinal herb conference?"
Lu Jiangdong shook his head: "It's different, this invitation is a specially invited VIP." For the first time, it must be delivered to the sponsor in person. ”
Cheng Ming hurriedly expressed his gratitude. Then he asked, "Does this guest have any privileges?"
"Hehe, you'll find out then. ”
Lu Jiangdong smiled. Then he said: "However, I need to go to the capital during this time, and it is likely that I will not come back until the opening of the fair. ”
"Okay, no problem......"
Because he had other things to do, Lu Jiangdong sat at Cheng Ming's place for a while, and then said goodbye and went back.
Cheng Ming returned to the house, and when he saw Tian Dazhuang's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, he scolded with a smile: "If you have something to say, say it quickly, and let it go if you have a fart." ”
Tian Dazhuang thought for a while and said, "Brother Ming, I feel as if you have changed into a different person. ”
"Isn't that nonsense, if I don't change my person, where will the money come from to buy this villa and today's auction?"
Cheng Ming patted Tian Dazhuang's shoulder and said: "Da Zhuang, people will change, and you will definitely change dramatically in the future, but for me, there is one thing that will not change, that is, the friendship between us, right?"
Tian Dazhuang felt a warm current in his heart, and nodded heavily: "Yes, we will always be good brothers!"
The two looked at each other and smiled, and Cheng Ming said: "There are some things I can't tell you yet, but don't worry, when the time is right, I will tell you exactly as it is." ”
"No!"
Tian Dazhuang shook his head: "Didn't we have an agreement before, since it's a secret, you don't have to tell me so clearly." ”
Since the time is not yet ripe, Cheng Ming didn't say much.
"Brother Ming, what are you going to do with that "Peace Post"? I don't think you have any vaults, and it's not safe to keep at home. Tian Dazhuang said with some concern.
Cheng Ming said indifferently: "What's not safe here, this is a villa community of commercial houses from all over the world, how dare ordinary thieves come here." If it is a master, it is also possible to steal it in the bank. Besides, I will leave this "Peace Post" for a year and a half at most, and maybe I will sell it in a few months. ”
"So early?" Tian Dazhuang looked a little dumbfounded, although he didn't understand the appraisal of antiques, but he still knew some things about buying and selling, like such a treasure, since he bought it home, he had to wait a year or two to sell it before it was cost-effective, and if he sold it in a few months, it was entirely possible to lose money.
Cheng Ming saw Tian Dazhuang's dumbfounded appearance, and felt a little funny, and said, "Do you think that I participated in the auction because of this "Peace Post?"
Tian Dazhuang was stunned for a moment, and then said a little incredulously: "Brother Ming, should you tell me that you participated in the auction because of the imitation of the "Shangqing Hanxiang Jianjian Diagram", right?"
Cheng Ming said with a smile: "Who told you that the "Shangqing Hanxiang Jianjian Sword Diagram" is an imitation?"
"It's not an imitation?" Tian Dazhuang was stunned again: "Could it be that Liu Jiaxiang actually saw it wrong?"
He wasn't mistaken. But there's something else to the painting. ”
Cheng Ming took out the "Shangqing Hanxiang Jianjian Diagram" and unfolded it on the table, and then said, "You take a closer look." What is the flaw in this painting. ”
"Is it flawed?" Tian Dazhuang frowned and looked at the scroll. After a long time, his expression was still very confused, and he shook his head and said, "Brother Ming, just say it, I really can't see it." ”
Cheng Ming smiled and said, "Don't you think this paper is a little thicker?"
"Is the paper thick?"
Tian Dazhuang carefully rubbed it with his hand, and finally frowned and said: "I don't feel how thick it is, I have read reports before, saying that there is a famous painter who uses paper to paint, which is made of seventeen or eighteen layers of rice paper." This paper shouldn't be that exaggerated, right?"
Cheng Ming nodded and said, "Good rice paper." It is indeed made in layers. An ordinary piece of rice paper can be divided into two or three layers, while high-grade rice paper can even be divided into more than ten layers. But if you think about it, it took only three or four hundred years for rice paper to be widely popularized and used, but this painting was made for more than six hundred years. ”
Tian Dazhuang suddenly realized, and at the same time understood what Cheng Ming meant, and said a little excitedly: "According to the meaning of the person, in fact, there is a painting under this painting?"
Cheng Ming smiled: "Let's uncover it and know." ”
Tian Dazhuang hurriedly said: "Brother Ming, it's better to be cautious about this matter." I read a book before, and it said that unless the damage is very serious, you should never uncover it. If. If you must uncover it, you should also ask an experienced master to do it. ”
"Besides, we can't be sure yet. Is there another painting underneath this painting, if something went wrong? Isn't that a loss for my wife and a loss of soldiers?"
"Don't worry, I'm not 100% sure. How can you possibly participate in the auction?"
As he spoke, Cheng Ming dipped his hand in some water and dripped it into a blank space on the drawing paper, and in an instant, the water droplets penetrated into the paper and diffused. At the same time, black handwriting appeared under the paper, although it was a little blurry, but it also proved that Cheng Ming's guess was indeed true.
Seeing this situation, Tian Dazhuang was a little stunned, and after a while, he came back to his senses and asked incredulously: "Brother Ming, how do you know? Could it be that you have some magical powers in your eyes?"
"Of course, I've already practiced the Heavenly Eye, and I can even see ghosts, and it's just a piece of cake. Cheng Ming looked triumphant.
Tian Dazhuang shrank back: "Brother Ming, in this way, you can see through my clothes?"
Cheng Ming's eyes blinked, and then he stepped forward and kicked Tian Dazhuang: "Am I so perverted? Besides, I don't have a habit of breaking my sleeves, and I won't look at you if I want to see it!"
Tian Dazhuang shrank behind him, and the thief laughed: "In this way, you have seen all the beauties in our school, tell me, which one has a better figure?"
"!" Cheng Ming scolded with a smile.
After laughing for a while, Tian Dazhuang said: "Brother Ming, what about this painting, find a famous artist to uncover the painting?"
Cheng Ming shook his head: "I'll just reveal it, and you can help me do it later." ”
Speaking of this, when he saw Tian Dazhuang's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, he knew Tian Dazhuang's thoughts, and said: "Don't worry, I have learned to uncover paintings before, and I have also experimented myself, so there is no problem at all." Besides, in the end, revealing the painting is just a meticulous work, and it is difficult to get our martial artists?"
Tian Dazhuang thought about it, so he nodded and said, "Okay, then let's start now?"
"Well, I'm going to make a potion......"
The craft of unmounting is not only complex and meticulous, but also does not tolerate a single error. Otherwise, it will cause irreparable damage to the painting.
There are more than 30 processes before and after unmounting, which usually takes a week. However, this is a formal unveiling procedure, and for Cheng Ming, if he wants to see the true face of Lushan in the painting, one afternoon is enough.
With the potion, Cheng Ming and Tian Dazhuang began to officially unveil the frame, and as time passed, the real painting gradually appeared in front of the eyes of the two, which was the "Shangqing Hanxiang Jianjian Diagram" drawn and written by Sima Chengzhen himself.
However, unlike the usual version, this "Shangqing Hanxiang Jianjian Diagram" also has an extra paragraph of small characters, Cheng Ming read it carefully, and was stunned for a while, this is actually the formula and refining method of the magic weapon Shangqing Hanxiang Sword.
What shocked Cheng Ming even more was that. Based on the description of this text, the Shangqing Han Elephant Sword can completely become a treasure robbery. And there is also a glimmer of possibility of becoming an innate spirit treasure.
At this time, the system suddenly spoke: "This Shangqing Han Elephant Sword is very suitable for you." Moreover, if you are now cultivating two kinds of cultivation techniques, you can completely refine two kinds of natal magic weapons. ”
Hearing this, Cheng Ming felt a burst of excitement in his heart, the natal magic weapon is a sharp weapon for attack and defense for monks, if the ordinary magic weapon can exert 100% power, the natal magic weapon can have two or three percent more power, or even fifty percent is normal.
In addition, the average monk only has one natal magic weapon in his life. Therefore, they are very cautious in the choice of natal magic weapons, and they will not decide until the middle and late stages of foundation building.
Originally, Cheng Ming hadn't thought about the issue of the natal magic weapon at all, and he was only in the Qi refining period now, so he didn't need to think about it.
Unexpectedly, he was so lucky to participate in an auction, and only used 100 million funds (including commissions). He bought the formula of a natal magic weapon, and it was just right for him to use, and he almost jumped for joy.
Seeing the smile on Cheng Ming's face, Tian Dazhuang asked curiously, "Brother Ming." Is this thing worth a lot?"
Cheng Ming came back to his senses and glanced at Tian Dazhuang with disdain: "You kid is really vulgar, can this thing be compared to money? This is simply a priceless treasure." No amount of money can buy it. ”
Tian Dazhuang looked at the picture scroll, and his face was blank: "What the hell is this?" How do I feel that the gods are chattering, what's the light of the two rays. The image of gossip is enough to prolong the longevity of the light and destroy the Fengcheng', I can't understand it at all. ”
"Of course you can't see it if you're not a warlock, but you just need to know that it's going to work for me. ”
Although Cheng Ming was very happy in his heart, he was not without distress: "The materials needed for this Shangqing Elephant Sword are not easy to find, the essence of the sun and the essence of Taiyin, but they are both heaven-level spiritual objects, even Yuanying Zhenren is salivating, where will I find it for a while?"
He thought about it, there were definitely no these two heaven-level spiritual creatures in the Table World, and there was only some hope in the Inner World and the Central Continent.
"Anyway, the natal magic weapon can only be refined after the golden pill, so there is no rush in this matter for the time being, let's build the foundation first and then talk about it. ”
At this time, the system spoke again: "I think you'd better destroy this scroll." ”
Cheng Ming was slightly stunned: "Why?"
"Because there is a more subtle mark on this picture scroll, it seems to have been left by the real person of the Yang God, and he can come here with this mark in the future. ”
"Not really. A hint of shock flashed in Cheng Ming's eyes, and he hurriedly asked, "You mean to say that Sima Chengzhen is still alive?"
"I don't know if this mark was left by Sima Chengzhen, but this person must still be alive, otherwise, this mark would have disappeared long ago. ”
Cheng Ming was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then hurriedly memorized all the contents on the scroll in his mind, and asked the system again, and seeing that there was nothing missing, he tore the entire scroll into pieces and used the fireball technique to find flying ashes.
This made Tian Dazhuang stunned: "Brother Ming, what are you doing here?"
Cheng Ming didn't tell the truth, so as not to worry Tian Dazhuang, and said: "What else can I do, of course it's 'destroying the corpse and destroying the traces', and such a treasure is the safest only if it is remembered in the mind." ”
Tian Dazhuang understood Cheng Ming's explanation, but there was one more thing that made him feel very shocked: "Brother Ming, what happened when a fireball suddenly appeared in your hand just now, is it a legendary spell?"
Cheng Ming nodded and said: "That's right, don't feel strange, except for the warlocks who refine the body, the others are all magicians, how about it, envy, or you will become a cultivator?"
"Can I become a warlock too?" Tian Dazhuang's eyes lit up.
"Absolutely. Cheng Ming nodded: "However, if you want to become a cultivator, you must abandon the internal force of your physical strength and start cultivating again." ”
In fact, the reason why Cheng Ming passed on the Qingtian Sutra to Tian Dazhuang was because the cultivation of the Qingtian Sutra was tailor-made for martial artists, and after building the foundation, no matter what kind of exercises he practiced before, it would be transformed into true power similar to the nature of true qi, so Tian Dazhuang could cultivate without abolishing internal force.
"That's right. As soon as he heard that he was going to abolish his true qi, Tian Dazhuang immediately retreated, he pondered for a moment and asked, "Brother Ming, is there a difference between this warlock and a martial artist?"
Cheng Ming said: "If you cultivate to the extreme, you will be equally powerful, and you will be able to transcend the universe and soar away in the future, so there is no distinction between high and low, high and low." ”
Tian Dazhuang said: "Forget it, I'm still honestly my warrior." ”
Cheng Ming said: "It's up to you, but I have to make it clear to you, if you want to change your mind, it's still too late, otherwise, don't say that you don't have that chance, it will definitely have an impact on your cultivation." ”
"Now that I've made up my mind, I certainly won't regret it. Tian Dazhuang nodded heavily. (To be continued......)
