The Heavens: A Qing, the Yue Girl at the beginning

"Good things come in pairs! Just now, Gou Jian allowed us Xu people to split the land thousands of miles to the west of Dong Ou and rebuild the country. He allowed me to take the position of Xu Hou, and he actually found out about this top-secret matter of immeasurable value. Could it be that this is God’s blessing for us after Boyi?”

Secretly eavesdropping on the information coming from the folds of the void, Wang Ziqi was overjoyed. He couldn't help but think that his fortune had turned, and he might have hope of restoring the country of Xu.

After the death of the Marquis of Qi and the King of Chu, the current world situation has naturally changed greatly. The control of the Qi and Chu governments over local ministers and officials has declined, and the neighboring state of Wu has launched an expansion. , the intention to invade these two countries will also increase significantly.

Considering that we have been fighting Chu for so many years and the borders are in ruins, unless we win a big victory, we won't get much benefit. However, by attacking Qi and the many small countries attached to Qi, we can plunder a lot of resources. Wu's soldiers The front will most likely point towards the ground.

Thinking that it has eliminated the threat from the direction of Chu, if it provokes Qi, Lu and other countries and makes enemies everywhere, Wu will definitely lose a lot of troops. It will have to supplement them from the hometown of Xu and Zhongwu, and let Xu people hold important positions in the Wu army. Influence is gradually restored.

As for the Chu State, since Gou Jian's grandson Prince Zhang succeeded to the throne, the secret support for the Yue State will inevitably increase. The Chu-Vietnam alliance will become stronger, the Yue State's influence will increase accordingly, and the homeless people coming from all directions will also become stronger. Come more and more.

In order to resettle these homeless people who had fled from other countries and win their support, King Gou Jian of Yue decided to use the Xu people who had immigrated to Yue in large numbers thousands of years ago as a model, and promised that after Xu died in Wu, the highest-status person who fled to Yue, the prince, would He stayed and formally established the new Xu State, with the title of Marquis.

The Xu State was founded in the Xia Dynasty, and its history is longer than that of the Yue State. There is no need to mention things after the Spring and Autumn Period. Since Yunchang, who still claims to be the Marquis of Yue, gave Xu Houzhi a high-grade magic weapon as a congratulatory gift. They agreed to call themselves queens together, and there was a friendly alliance between Yue and Xu.

However, due to the decree of King Xu, he later married the daughter of Wu King Yimei, who was specially visited by Jizha, leaving behind the allusion of hanging a sword. After the son Yichu was born and succeeded him as the king, the relationship between Wu and Xu also became quite good.

At that time, the state of Chu was powerful and its strength was greater than that of Wu. King Ling of Chu organized an alliance. Yichu went to participate. However, King Ling thought he was suspected of collaborating with Wu and arrested him. He later took the opportunity to escape back to the state of Xu. This provoked King Ling of Chu to send troops to attack Xu, but he was rescued by the state of Wu.

It seems that there was a deep hatred between Chu and Xu, and Wu Guo became the eldest brother of Xu State. However, when King Chu Ling was killed, the successor King Chu Ping was the one who secretly freed Yi Chu. Xu also began to befriend;
On the contrary, after Yi Mei's son, King Liao of Wu, was killed by Helu, Zhang Yu, the son of Yi Chu and the new king of Xu, who could be regarded as a Yi Mei clan, was regarded as a hidden danger. After Zhang Yu took in Wu Wang Liao's younger brother to cover the rest, he was quickly killed by the Wu army. After his death, Zhang Yu himself pleaded guilty and tried to preserve the ancestral temple but was rejected, so he fled to the state of Chu.

Generally speaking, the Xu people currently have a pro-Chu sect, a pro-Wu sect, and a pro-Vietnam sect. Since Zhongli and Qunshu are both branches of Xu State in the past, the basic base of the Xu people in a broad sense is actually very large. Fighting for them in Goujian After the arrival of the pro-Vietnam faction Xu Ren, the other two factions are also likely to change their direction.

"King Wu conquered Yin and rebelled against Shang. Before he could get out of the car, he granted the title of Queen of the Yellow Emperor to Ji, the title of Emperor Yao to the title of Zhu, the title of Emperor Shun to the title of Chen; he got off the car and granted the title of the queen of the Xia family to Qi, and the queen of Yin to the Song Dynasty." This is a matter of loyalty to the two kings and the three kings.

Although the Yue State was not large, it also imitated this policy, with the intention of "reviving and destroying the country, inheriting the peerless world, and raising the people", thereby achieving the effect of "the people of the world return to their hearts." With the Xu people's example of restoring the country, it is conceivable that the survivors of Zhou Lai, Zhongli, Zhongwu and other countries will also join the Yue Kingdom for this purpose.

……

The reason why Prince Ciliu, or rather Marquis Xu, who had not yet been officially granted a title by the King of Yue, appeared at the entrance of Yuling Park was not specifically for eavesdropping. In fact, the purpose of his visit was to find someone to help with divination. , to see what kind of currency you should mint.

Although the Hou Xu State, which was divided and sealed by the Yue State, would most likely have to accept part of the Yue army to station and provide "protection", it could still be regarded as an independent prince. Therefore, it could issue coins minted by its own country without having to follow the mainstream of the Yue State. The currency is the same.

Different from the ant-nosed coins issued by the Chu State and the copper shell coins used by the Wu State, in the past, perhaps because of the incident of "King Xu Yan was so strange that he got strange fishes without deep water", or perhaps it was just a coincidence, the Xu State and the surrounding Huaihe River The currency in circulation among the Yi is various types of fish coins.

Just as there are thousands of species of fish, the shape and surface scales of fish coins are often different because of the different types of fish they are imitated. Whenever a new monarch comes to the throne, new species of fish coins are minted. , has become the practice of Xu State.

Since Prince Ciliu liked alchemy and Taoism and was not good at divination and witchcraft, when he needed to decide what kind of coins to use, he rushed from Jiangzhou where the King of Yue was to Yuling in Kuaiji Mountain, hoping that the wizards here could provide appropriate suggestions. .

"I heard that all countries that issue coins on a large scale have some kind of technology that can identify the origin of the copper materials of coins. It is used to prevent counterfeiting and prevent other countries from secretly imitating coins and trying to impact their own economic system."

"But small countries like He, Juan, and Zhuanyu, which are no more than a thousand miles away, do not have this kind of technology. Any powerful family of powerful officials can encroach on their remaining territory and population through coinage strategies, even though they have a country name. , It’s really a small town.”

Wang Zici thought carefully that the re-established Xu State had lost many talents. If he wanted to regain some of his previous power, he should never be controlled by others in this key technology, otherwise he would become a puppet of the Yue State. .

And this top-secret information involving immortal grass and immortal medicine can perhaps be told to the King of Yue in a special way in exchange for a complete casting industry chain including this key identification technology?

Just when he wanted to "dedicate" the "elixir" to Gou Jian in some way out of gratitude, he suddenly found that the conversation between Zhe Ge Wang's father and Zhao Qing was suddenly interrupted and no longer continued. Can be discovered by oneself.

……

"In ancient legends, the Queen Mother of the West is not the only one who can make the elixir..." He felt a little uneasy for some reason. He stared at his father for a moment. Although he felt that the communication in the space channel was confidential enough, it still inspired him. Mysterious eyes.

As the wheel seal around Zenge Wangchu's pupils, which had almost reached its end, advanced for a short distance, a twisted vortex formed on the outside of this space channel, causing an indescribable separation phenomenon in time and space.

In this area, all kinds of energy emitted outwards spread out evenly the moment they come into contact with the twisted vortex, completely annihilating the information stored in it, precipitating on the surface of the vortex layer, and turning into some total An insignificant amount of light atoms.

Is this a vacuum superfluid? Interference with the "ether" medium that carries information? Transformation of quality into energy? Sensing this bizarre scene, Zhao Qing was more surprised than when he heard the news about the "Immortal Grass", and he couldn't help but speculate on the principle, potential capabilities and changes of this method.

“…The ten witches of Lingshan, Wu Xian, Wu Ji, Wu Pan, Wu Peng, Wu Gu, Wu Zhen, Wu Li, Wu Ding, Wu Xie, and Wu Luo, can almost be said to be the founders of the witchcraft. They collected hundreds of medicines in the world and also developed a recipe for immortality. Among them, Wu Xian and Wu Peng were even regarded as the founders of medicine." After rearranging some protective measures, Zhege Wangchu continued to add : "Judging from the known ancient history, Wu Xian was already a world-famous and powerful monk during the time of the Yellow Emperor. He also appeared during the time of Yao and Shun."

"At the time of Taiwu in the Shang Dynasty, this Wu Xian appeared again, and his status immediately far surpassed the Shang king at that time, as well as Shang Tang and other respected ancestors and emperors. He directly pursued the god worshiped by the merchants and let the Shang Dynasty's divine power It completely overwhelms the royal power, and no one dares to object.”

"There is no doubt that Wu Xian can single-handedly suppress the great merchants in their heyday. His cultivation and methods can be regarded as the strongest in the past three generations. Even beings like Xia Houqi and Peng Zu can't. You may not be able to defeat him.”

"You mean, this Wu Xian was so powerful as soon as he appeared. He should be the Wu Xian himself who left traces during the Yellow Emperor's time, rather than the name of a later one?" Zhao Qing responded in time: "He can live for such a long time. For many years, it is possible that he took the 'elixir'?"

"It cannot be ruled out that Wu Xian relied on his accumulated cultivation power or other magical means." Zhe Ge Wangshu said: "However, his son Wu Xian, who was born in Taiwu, also lived a very long time. Judging from time, the theory of 'elixir' is more credible."

"In addition, there is another somewhat bizarre theory regarding the Ten Witches of Lingshan: These ten great witches all came from the sect of one person, and their common master was the female ugly who was burned to death by Tori in a more distant era. The ugly woman has a big crab, and the spiritual mountain is on top of the big crab.”

Ten days? Could it be that they are Emperor Jun's ten sons? The female ugly was killed by Toka's team. Perhaps it proves that she is so powerful that it takes multiple suns to destroy her? Zhao Qing was thoughtful and noticed that most of the ugly crabs did not die in this catastrophe.

By the way, the god worshiped by merchants is suspected to be Emperor Jun, and a large number of sacrifices are made on the tenth day of the twelfth month. He clearly has the hatred of killing his master on the tenth day, but Wu Xian came to the Shang Dynasty specifically. What is his purpose?
"At present, it seems that Lingshan is being blamed by the big crab. It is obvious that we can change the location and stop at different places so that the ten witches on the mountain can collect medicine nearby."

Zenge Wangshu continued: "Probably because all the elixir raw materials have been collected in Kyushu long ago, the areas where the world has witnessed the activities of giant crabs have gradually moved to the North Sea, the West Sea, and the East China Sea..."

"Just a hundred years ago, the "Experiences of the Yellow Emperor" left by Dayu, which was said to record many rumors of ancient treasures and was probably written in the name of the Yellow Emperor by the great wizard of the Yu Dynasty, was initially deciphered by Taishi Wenzi. "

"In a record in "The Experience of the Yellow Emperor", it was mentioned that after Yi shot the golden crow that carried ten days, Wu Xian who was far away from abroad also heard about it and immediately came out of the mountain and rushed over. On the Hengtian Mountain I met Yi nearby and expressed my gratitude."

"Wu Xian said during the conversation that the batch of immortal medicine he had on hand was of too low a level. It could only be used to ascend to the gods and was not worthy of the achievements of Yi. If he immediately collected the immortal medicines from Zuzhou, Penglai and other ten continents and three islands, It will take at least more than 1000 years to plant immortal grass and start refining the imperial elixir, and the efficacy of the medicine may not meet expectations. If you rashly proclaim emperor without permission, you may end up like Xing Tian. "

"Therefore, Wu Xian suggested that Dayi go to another Queen Mother of the West who owns the elixir, and ask this high-status god for a high-level elixir, and promised that his subordinate Wu Xian Kingdom would provide help..."

Zenge Wangchu added: "What happened next is not recorded in "The Experience of the Yellow Emperor". It only drew a few illustrations to indicate the locations of the places mentioned in this conversation. For example, it was translated by Wenzi as 'Zu' The sea, island and land in the continent are roughly consistent with what Zhong He and Zhong Li said."

It sounds like this "Huangdi Zhongzhong Experience" writes about events during the reign of Emperor Yao. At first glance, it is not written by Huangdi. It is rather similar to "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" that is said to have been written for Boyi. They are both a few paragraphs without beginning and end. The pictures above are, perhaps, equivalent to the Yu Dynasty version of "The Classic of Mountains and Seas"?
Zhao Qing secretly thought about it. It is said that Dayu read "The Experience of the Yellow Emperor", which said that there were gold slips and jade books on Wanwei Mountain, so he dug them out and successfully controlled the flood. This book is suspected to be the only one left in the world. The value of books is truly immeasurable.

In addition, are there levels of elixirs? And could the so-called "Emperor" be a realm of cultivation in ancient times? Wu Xian has an endless supply of elixir. Is he still alive in today's world?

"The medicine of immortality is also the medicine of immortality." Next, Zhe Ge Wangshu's words answered her first question: "In ancient times, all herbs and medicines related to the Tianyan realm were Named 'Immortal'."

"But in fact, although a considerable number of them also have the ability to prolong life, their main effect is to assist in breaking through the realm and enhance the cultivation of the supreme secret medicine. According to many records, taking the corresponding level of medicine The elixir of death should be the mainstream practice of the ancient gods."

"And with the elimination of elixirs, that is, immortal medicines, the number of 'Heavenly Evolution' realms in the past three generations is far less than the number before ten thousand years ago, and they all seem to come from the descendants of ancient people with great magical powers..."

Speaking of this, Zeng Gewangchu sighed and said: "There is a saying that after experiencing many great changes in the world, today's world will no longer allow the birth of new powerful people in the 'Tianyan' realm. Otherwise, , how can enlightened men like Lao Tzu and Wen Tzu be stopped by this threshold?"

The implication of his words is obviously that whether he can refine a new elixir may be related to the upper limit of the future of a very talented person like Zhao Qing, and how far he can go on the road.

In this regard, although there is a precedent for the "True Talisman of the Holy King of Fire Virtue" to make Xiqi produce three Tianyan Saints in a row, considering that he can trace his earliest ancestor, he may not be as prominent as King Wen and King Wu, Zhao Qing can't help but pay attention to it. This elixir of immortality can be used to break through the realm.

If it only has the effect of extending life and immortality, she currently has no need for the elixir. However, if she finally finds out that the main world does have a "natural expansion" limit and needs the elixir to break it, she still has to make plans as soon as possible. , cannot be leaked.

As for "The Experience of the Yellow Emperor" that Wenzi has deciphered, we can only say that the book contains mostly ancient secrets, and obviously contains a lot of fabricated elements. Although several places of origin of immortal grass are mentioned, the distance is too far away, and there is no need to go through it twice. If verified, it is estimated that no one will risk going there.

"Although the authenticity of the 'Immortal Grass in Zuzhou' was basically confirmed a hundred years ago, whether it was earlier when it was still in the suspicion stage, or in the past hundred years, we, Zeng Ge Clan, have strictly blocked this news. "

Having said this, Zeng Gewangpa paused and suddenly asked: "Do you know why this is?"
