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

Chapter 404: Bold investment, auspicious sign

"What's the reason?" Zhao Qing's heart moved slightly, and combined with the city-linking tactics and other things he had experienced in the past, he immediately guessed the reason: First of all, it was naturally to prevent the news from spreading and triggering various fights and incidents, which made Zhen Goh was in danger;
  Secondly, they do not want to have the same situation as Xu Fu and other alchemists deceived Qin Shihuang in the previous life, allowing the senior officials of the Yue State to waste their energy on the pursuit of illusory immortal grass and elixir, causing countless crew members to die on ocean expeditions. way.

Although they have endured the life-shortening curse for thousands of years, theoretically they should not let go of any hope of extending their lifespan. However, in fact, since their life span cannot exceed a hundred years, the Zenge family is more sympathetic to the sufferings endured by ordinary people. A person's life.

In her opinion, the upper limit of the lifespan of the "Six Qi" realm in the main world is only five hundred, and the lower six Qi, middle six Qi, and upper six Qi are all this number. It does not seem to be a good thing, and it belongs to the rather strict laws of heaven and earth;
  After all, judging from the previous world, the level of cultivation corresponding to the existence of Wenzi in the main world is estimated to be higher than that of Kuixing's great prophet in the Zonghe River system, and Guangchengzi, who is currently only comparable to the minor prophet, But you can easily live for tens of millions of years by relying on the "Secret of Immortality".

However, perhaps it is precisely because this restriction has narrowed the gap between cultivators and ordinary people that most high-level cultivators will not turn into monsters who treat the weak like ants and despise mortal life. This is why the world has not developed into underworld cultivators. situation.

Sure enough, just as Zhao Qing expected, Zhen Ge Wangchu drew the illustrations in "Zhong Xian" with light points in mid-air, marked the details, pointed at the "ancestral continent" island and emphasized:
  "Looking for this place, there are many dangers overseas, and unnecessary casualties are very easy to occur. If your cultivation level meets the requirements, it is best to go alone instead of letting a large fleet accompany you."

"From this point of view, I should have reached a cooperation with Wenzi who has reached the realm of 'Daoying Liuguang'. Theoretically, there should be a lot of success. Considering his moral character, I also believe that he can give me advice after the matter is completed. Appropriate remuneration for Gossi."

"It's a pity that he is not from our Yue country after all, and he has lofty aspirations and aims at the world. If he makes great progress in cultivation because of this, it may not be a good thing from a big perspective... At least, it will bring a lot of happiness. It is a trouble that the country cannot deal with for the time being.”

"So, Miss Zhao Qing, if we can cooperate with you who is expected to enter this realm in the future and whose future is limitless, if we can really find the Immortal Grass and leave a small share for the Zhe Ge family, this is what I think is the best choice after weighing it for a long time. …”

Zenge Wangshu said solemnly: "The reward for this cooperation is that the Dukang Mountain Rei I just used will be handed over to you for use within fifty years after my death. I believe that I have obtained this treasure to assist my practice. , you can shorten a lot of time to accumulate skills."

According to Jin Li, the Dukang Mountain Rei belongs to the magic weapon of the three-step series of sealing the sky. Although it seems to have no offensive effect, it must be used to refine "holy wine" and accelerate cultivation, and it must have wonderful benefits that ordinary people can't imagine.

The Zenge clan was able to withstand the curse and have a small number of people. For thousands of years, strong men with the middle six realms were born in almost every generation, and from time to time, the upper six realms would appear. This was undoubtedly the contribution of this treasure.

Therefore, in terms of value, even if an ordinary upper six qi powerhouse were sold, I am afraid it would not be comparable to it.

Zhao Qing was also shocked by the bold investment made by Zeng Ge Wanghu. He felt that the other party was worthy of organizing gambling games all day long, so he only met him once, and he actually revealed such top-secret information and prepared to do so. Take out the fifty-year right to use such a treasure.

It has to be said that considering that with the help of "Dream Citation" in the future, her theoretical realm will be much higher than her actual cultivation level, and it is estimated that it will become a norm, so the role that Du Kangshan Lei can play is probably difficult to replace.

Give me peaches and give me Qiong Yao. Since the other party is so sincere in cooperation and trusts me not to "borrow money without repaying it", if we can really gain a lot of money, we will naturally try our best to solve the problem of the curse on the Zonge family.

As one of the leaders of the mausoleum guardians, although Zhe Ge Wangchu is not well-known outside, his nominal status is actually very high. He is a marquis of the Xia Dynasty along with the Yue royal family, and can be roughly regarded as the leader of the state's sacrifices and sacrifices. The eldest uncle has a decisive influence on ceremonies and other matters.

If they are united with most of the mausoleum guarding wizards, since they represent the sacrificial power of Yuling, they are even more irreplaceable than the Yue royal family. Their combined appeal can even be enough to check the power of Gou Jian's royal authority.

As the saying goes, "If your words are not right, your words will not go smoothly, and if your words are not right, you will not succeed." If you want to do something big in the country of Yue in the future, whether you have a suitable name or not, the resistance you will encounter will be very different. It is also a good thing to have good relations with the Shouling families such as the Chong family, Yu family and so on.

After Zhao Qing agreed to help find the Zuzhou Immortal Grass, Zeng Gewangzhu couldn't help but smile. He thought for a while and then said: "You can also come to King Mu's treasure city that will appear in a few months." pay attention."

"It's not because of the connection between King Zhou Mu and the Queen Mother of the West, and there may be news about the elixir, but based on the intelligence collected by our Yue Kingdom over the years, it has been determined that it contains the inheritance of the secret sword-making skills of the Kunwu family in the past. "

"Once the Kunwu clan's sword-making secret book is successfully obtained, the king will invite many masters of weapon refining from Xi'an, Minyue, and Dong'ou to gather together, refer to the magic weapon map left by Ou Yezi, and use the accumulated knowledge over the years to Many of their spiritual materials worked together to create a set of eight high-grade divine swords..."

Could this be the origin of the Eight Swords of the King of Yue? Zhao Qing was thoughtful as he listened to the other party continue:
  "Although judging from the king's proficiency in the sword formation method, this set of magical weapons will most likely be controlled and used by him personally, but considering that refining too many magical weapons can easily delay practice, there are also considerable consequences. It may be given to meritorious ministers and talented people in the country.”

"It can take at least half a year or at most several years to refine a top-grade magic weapon. By then, I will basically be gone. If you want to get one or two of them, then talk to Wuhan. Get in touch…”

Is this to deepen my cooperation with Zeng Ge and let Zeng Ge Wuhan inherit this relationship?
  Zhao Qing secretly thought in his heart, except for the "Qingxuan" sword that was suspected to be left by Zhong He and Zhong Li, it seems that the high-level magic weapon that is still ownerless cannot be found. If you can get a complete set of the Eight Swords of Yue Wang, their power should be considerable.

"By the way, seeing that you selected the piece of jade belonging to the 'Tushan Clan' in the Wangui Hall, you must also want to continue searching for the inheritance of the 'Tushan Clan' so that you can understand it more easily!"

Gradually erasing the whirlpools on the space passage to lift the information shielding state, Zhe Ge Wangchu reminded: "It may be different from what you think. Although Tushan Nujiao is the wife of Dayu, within the Yu Mausoleum Park, There are not many inheritances related to the 'Tushan clan'."

"Tushan, five thousand miles northwest of Kuaiji City, was the main place where Yue worshiped Yu's wife. Most of the things related to it were preserved there, rather than being transferred and preserved in the area around Yu's mausoleum."

"Within the scope of Yuling, apart from a few dozen items, the most precious inheritance related to the 'Tushan clan' is a piece of 'sensing stone' scattered in the mountains and fields... It is worth mentioning that, This stone also contains messages from Zhonghe and Zhongli.”

……

After Zeng Ge Wangshu blocked the leakage of information and blocked all detection methods, Xu Ziciliu, who was standing at the entrance of Yuling Park, couldn't help but feel a little afraid of being discovered by someone eavesdropping.

However, after pretending to be calm and waiting for a moment, he did not notice any bad signs. He was relieved and thought about the possible details of the news that had not been disclosed, guessing that Zhao Qing might be informed of some more details. The key information, many thoughts in my mind:

There is no doubt that Zeng Ge Wangchu, who has been staying in Yuling and never goes out, and whose strength is not inferior to his own, will definitely not be able to obtain the details from him. Zhao Qing, who is still weak in cultivation and does not seem to have any background, , became the breakthrough point in this matter.

"When I came to the Yue Kingdom, although I had the name of 'Xu Hou', I was just a guest in the ears. I had to rely on others to act. If I use force to coerce the Yue people, once the secret is revealed, the consequences will never be too good, and it will be even worse. He was regarded by other Xu people as a sinner who brought disaster, and everyone rebelled against his relatives."

Putting the little clock away and seeing the mist in the mountains from a distance, Wang Ziqi noticed something in his heart and thought: "However, through the exchange of interests, we can 'buy' this news from Zhao Qing, or try to get her to take the initiative." Sell', then there's nothing to blame."

"In order to facilitate this matter, perhaps it is a good decision to invite Zhao Qing to serve as the Ling Yin of the Xu Kingdom? Judging from the opponent's record of easily defeating several Shenjin in Bailu Mountain yesterday, she is undoubtedly a rare genius in the world. It's really amazing. It’s actually not too bad to get out of Ling Yin’s official position.”

"Although Su Zijing was destined to be a disciple of Kangcangzi after the great minister Kou Su was angry at the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, he still didn't take the initiative to teach me some top Taoist skills due to my inducement, flattery and other means?"

"Under Ling Yin, in addition to my son having to hold an important position, the eight ministers of the Xu family in the past, Ye, Bao, Mao, Yang, Cai, Wei, Zhang, and Qiao, who followed King Xu Yan, also I don’t know how I am living in Yue so far. If there is anyone with decent business power, let him be appointed as a general!" After waiting for a long time in Xu Wangziciliu, he finally saw the wizard who greeted him and began to talk. When he came here to ask someone to divine the purpose of the fish coin system, thousands of feet above the halls of the Mingtang, the giant eye formed by the gathering of red clouds also slowly turned to look this way.

Not far away, Chang Yueyang, who was covered in mud, was limping, hiding behind a few plum trees, and secretly observing this scene.

……

At the same time, thousands of miles away in the Zhejiang River, King Gou Jian of Yue stood on the highest point of a small islet in the middle of the river, holding the Sword of Light in his hand. With his eyes like a torch, he watched the sunset gradually set on the horizon, ushering in the evening. Tide time.

This small islet in the middle of the river stands alone on the water, surrounded by the turbulent river water. The main part is a tall boulder. The stone is forty feet long, sixty feet wide from the north and south, and sixteen feet wide from the west. According to legend, it was a thing left in Zhenjiang by Dayu during his flood control, and was named "Cen Stone".

Although in normal seasons, because of its unique location, Censhi can easily cause storms and waves, which will affect the merchant ships passing nearby and become a dangerous area in Zhejiang River, but at this moment, the environment around it, But it became very different.

This is because taking advantage of the opportunity to offer sacrifices in Jiangzhou, after craftsmen and wizards re-reinforced the forty-nine dragon-suppressing stone piles around Cen Shi, King Gou Jian of Yue reviewed the work that Fan Li and Ji Yong had done in Guling Port in recent years. The results of the construction and training of the Vietnamese navy in , Shipyard, Shanxi and Hong Kong.

With Censhi where Gou Jian was at the center, thousands of ships were lined up in a neat queue on the river, like a long dragon winding past ten miles away. Under the command of little Sima Jiyong, they were carrying out a joint operation. A grand military exercise.

This naval fleet is mainly composed of warships, but also has various types of ships such as building ships, bridge ships, turrets, large wings, and small wings. The sails are hunting and majestic, and the soldiers on board are also wearing war weapons. Armor, armed with swords, stood ready, deafening drums and horns sounded one after another.

Taking Qu Lu's Spear from Ji Yong's hand on the side, Gou Jian seemed to recall the scene when he took a boat to the Kingdom of Wu in the past. His eyes were moist, and he turned sideways and patted Ji Yong's shoulder to express his gratitude. , was silent for a moment, then suddenly turned the spear upside down and leaned heavily on the boulder below, immediately causing ripples on the river surface.

After receiving the king's order, on the decks and upper cabins of thousands of ships, in the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of soldiers with tattoos and armor, holding swords, guns, swords, halberds, and colorful flags, jumped into the water. , one after another walked on the waves, using their own methods to walk on the undulating river waves as if they were on flat ground.

Facing the rolling evening tide, they rush upstream bravely, disappearing in and out of the whale waves, leaping and changing, but the tail of the flag is not even wet; some ride on the tide and use the javelin to dance on the water. , or walking on the waves, waving big colorful flags, and their postures are as vigorous as flying fish jumping into the water.

Although most of the Yue people are good at swimming in the Fu River, to be able to perform such difficult movements in huge waves that can easily reach several to ten feet, the cultivation of most of these soldiers has naturally reached the level of transforming energy. He can be called the elite in the military.

In this lively scene, the river is sparkling, like a huge new wave, connected to the sea in the distance, boundless. Under the reflection of the setting sun, the river shines with golden light, like a golden jade belt floating on the surface of the river.

The mountains in the distance are undulating, with a jade rainbow hanging in the distance. The green mountains appear faintly in the afterglow of the setting sun, like a beauty closing her eyes slightly, quietly admiring the beautiful scenery. The mist in the mountains is lingering, like a fairyland.

Suddenly a gust of wind blew by, the sea stood like the first thunder of spring, white horses flew in the sky, Qiongao rode on the water, facing the sky day and night.

It is precisely that "the river is forced to the west, and the sea is thin to the east. The water belongs to the sky, and there is no end to it. It passes by each other, the waves dredge, sink and rise again, because they return again. The vast water, day and night, moves like a fright, The voice is like thunder.”

……

On the wide river, the drums from the ships resounded through the sky like thunder, shaking the fish, shrimps, crabs and other creatures in the river. They were frightened and fled towards the shore one after another, almost boiling the entire river surface.

However, hundreds of miles outside this sacrificial area and military exercise area, fishermen have already set up large nets across the river, forming insurmountable obstacles, waiting for these panicked fish to fall into the net. middle.

Because the large nets set by the fishermen are so numerous and dense that they stretch for hundreds of miles, even the usually majestic big red carp, which is more than ten feet long and can jump several feet high in one jump, cannot escape even after jumping many times. After reaching the scope of the roundup, it appeared helpless and exhausted, and was easily captured by the fishermen.

It has to be said that perhaps many Yue people lack faith and do not care about the Yu sacrifices during this period. However, in these days, the fishing feast artificially created by the Yue Navy every night, as well as the name of Yue King Gou Jian, But it will be remembered in their hearts and deepen their sense of identity with the country.

As night gradually falls, the lights of fishermen on the river, as well as the scattered lights on the river bank further away, also light up, twinkling like stars, forming bright lights from a distance. bring.

Fish are afraid of sound but like light, and like to gather in bright places. Therefore, these light bands are undoubtedly a fatal temptation for fish, making them involuntarily swim towards bright places.

"Spring rain and stars gather to look for crabs," these lights not only attract fish to come closer, but also illuminate the way for fishermen to catch crabs. They carefully searched the river bank, looking for crabs hiding in the cracks in the rocks.

……

When millions of fishermen welcomed Yu's sacrifice in their own way, on the small island in the center of the river hundreds of miles away, on top of the huge stone, Gou Jian, the king of Yue, casually inserted Qu Lu's spear into the ground. The unsheathed Sword of Bu Guang pointed upwards diagonally towards the sky.

"Everyone, do you expect to see those carps flying in the sky? They don't look like dragons, but they have such abilities. Can anyone recognize them?"

The mysterious light mana surged out from the scabbard and spread across the sky in an instant. The soft red and white light illuminated a thousand miles around, seeming to make the clouds and mist in the sky return to dusk. Gou Jian looked back and glanced at the accompanying tongue. Yong and the wizards suddenly spoke to break the silence.

"It looks like a carp, with a fish body but bird wings, a pale head with a white head and a red beak, and it flies at night. This is the 'Wen stingray'." Carefully observed the fish jumping out from between the layers of fishing nets a hundred miles away. , the soaring "carp", Hueyong quickly answered:
  "According to legend, seeing the 'Wen Ray' is a good omen for the world's great beasts. The king went out to worship the river, and he encountered such auspiciousness in the evening before the day was over. This really shows that King Yu has blessed us, Dai Viet."

Quite satisfied with Hui Yong's reply, Gou Jian "can't help but" sighed: "Inherited the emperor's Xia pulse, charming and charming servants, and the state will suffer forever. Yu broke through the Yuanmen, bowed to Lousha, and set up Yanyi in the north to provide water and water. , to dance at the foot of Yuelu. After leaving Changquan to mourn the deceased, the phoenix came to ask for attachment. The family abandoned the sacrifices, and Chu Chong led his concubine to wrap up the disciples and bury them in Jitang to pray for good luck."

"Just now, I silently mourned the death of Emperor Yu and lamented the humiliation of entering Wu in the past. I hope that my ancestors can give me enlightenment and revive the royal industry of Yue, Xia Mei and Si. It is also the inheritance of Yuan Chang's virtue and the blessing of the heavenly spirit. , although there are still many imperfections in this Yu Sacrifice, but for the sake of my sincerity, I actually got a sign of good luck!"

Listening to Gou Jian's words that he believed he was blessed by God, the gossips and wizards around him all echoed and praised him, saying that because of the king's virtue, it is unusual for him to travel with auspiciousness on this occasion of Yu's sacrifice.

"Since everyone agrees that this is a rare good omen, I will not hide it. I have other topics to talk about." Seeing such a scene, Yue King Gou Jian did not take it seriously, his expression did not change at all, and he suddenly turned around, He said calmly.
