Be an emperor from drawing cards

Chapter 95 The wind is rising, the Wuzong secret library!
Jin State, Yunwu Mountain.

On the main peak, Piaomiao Peak, a white-haired old man wearing a plain robe, with his hands behind his back, looked up at the endless stars in the sky.

Piaomiao Peak is about a thousand feet high. Now it is the twelfth lunar month of winter. Strong winds come from the bottom up, bringing up big clouds of snowflakes. The clothes of the old man are flying, and the big sleeves are fluttering. Feng Xu flies in the wind, looking like an immortal.

However, in the eyes of the old man, this strong wind was like a spring breeze blowing on his face.

Relying on his own powerful cultivation, the old man is like an unfallen pine, firmly rooted on the top of this mountain.

At this time, he had devoted all his attention to the stars in the sky.

As time went by, mysterious meanings spread out from around him, causing his aura to merge with the world and the stars, gradually becoming indistinguishable from each other.

At this time, a man wearing a Yin-Yang Taoist robe climbed up to Piaomiao Peak. Seeing this scene, he quickly held his breath and concentrated, and stepped aside, for fear of disturbing the person in front of him.

After a while, the old man withdrew from the artistic conception of God and Heaven, and slowly said:

"Is that Junior Brother Huang behind you?"

When the man heard this, a smile appeared on his lips and he said:
"I knew I couldn't hide it from the sect master."

The old man in front of him is one of the Hundred Families, Lin Bingtian, the current head of the Yinyang Sect.

The leaders of the Yin and Yang family, no matter what their names are, will each take a word from "The sky and the earth are black and yellow, the universe is primitive" as a symbol.

Lin Bingtian's original name was Lin Bing. He changed his name to "Lin Bingtian" after he became the head of the Yin Yang family.

The one he called "Junior Brother Huang" was the youngest of his seven junior brothers, Han Tinghuang.

"Junior brother, I came to this Misty Peak to look for my senior brother, but what's the important matter?"

Lin Bingtian asked with a smile.

For this little junior brother, they are senior brothers, they still take good care of them.

"Master, I was practicing in the courtyard, and suddenly I felt a throbbing feeling in my heart. It seemed that something big was happening in the world. I knew that I couldn't compare with your fellow brothers in divination of stars, so I wanted to find out once and for all, so I went up to Miao Miao Peak to find the door. Lord."

"Junior Brother Huang, if you can change your lazy character, then Taoist Zhang Daozi won't be able to overwhelm my Yin Yang family."

Looking at his junior brother, Lin Bingtian had a helpless wry smile on his face.

"Sect Master, Junior Brother, my personality has been formed a long time ago. If I want to change it, I'm afraid it will be difficult in this life." Han Tinghuang grinned and asked, "I wonder if Sect Master has observed the stars in the past few days and found out something?"

Lin Bingtian sighed in his heart, and stopped forcing this talented little junior.

This guy is one of those who refuses to go away and tries to retreat...

After calming down, Lin Bingtian turned his gaze due south and said in a deep voice:
"A few days ago, the old man saw that the stars in the seven constellations in the south of the sky suddenly shone brightly, but the aura of corpses in the ghost residence disappeared completely. The Vermilion Bird is also the Phoenix. The Phoenix has the theory of Nirvana, which corresponds to these days. The change of the sun and stars shows that there are nine out of ten great changes in the court of Chu Kingdom."

Han Tinghuang was stunned for a moment, then showed an incredible expression and shouted strangely;
"Master, how is this possible? Although Huang Jingming, the King of Taihe of the Chu Kingdom, was expelled from the military strategist, he has extraordinary martial arts and military skills. As far as my junior brother knows, the newly enthroned Chu Kingdom The new emperor is nothing more than a child, how can he fight against an old fox like Huang Jingming?"

Lin Bingtian glanced at his junior brother and said quietly:
"There is time, and everything in this world cannot be judged by common sense. Just like you, our senior brothers, when we accepted the disciples as our masters, we never thought that your talents would be wasted like this by you. ."

Han Tinghuang's mouth twitched, but he wisely did not answer the question.

After a moment of silence, Lin Bingtian said:

"Junior brother, don't you think that Yunwu Mountain is a little less popular? Why don't you go to the Chu country for the senior brothers? Maybe you can gain something."

Han Tinghuang asked with some confusion:

"Sect Master, since our Yin-Yang family was defeated by the Taoists in discussing Taoism 200 years ago, haven't we made an agreement that the disciples of the Yin-Yang family will not go down to Yunwu Mountain and will not compete with the Taoists for secular beliefs?"

Lin Bingtian looked at Han Tinghuang and said with a smile:
"Junior brother, you only know one thing, not the other. Back then, I had a yin and yang lineage, and I had such a bet with Taoism. He, the Taoist, no longer has the final say.

But what you don’t know, junior brother, is that the ancestor was defeated by the Taoist master when he discussed Taoism. After returning to the mountain, he sacrificed his entire cultivation lifespan to obtain a hexagram and a horoscope.

The hexagram is the Qian hexagram, and the dragon is in the field. The eight-character motto is 'the phoenix transforms into a real dragon, and a great struggle will emerge'! "

Han Tinghuang is a talented person, and his knowledge of hexagrams is no less than that of several senior brothers. Hearing this, he was shocked and murmured:
"Seeing a dragon in the field is at the turn of winter and spring. But as the sect leader said, does the phrase "phoenix transform into a real dragon" really belong to the new emperor of the Chu Kingdom?"

Lin Bingtian laughed loudly, with his beard and hair flying, he pointed his halberd into the sky and said loudly:

"Junior brother, listen! Dragon is coming!"

"Roar!!"

The next moment, a deep and powerful dragon roar vaguely sounded from the south.

Hearing the faint roar of the dragon, Han Tinghuang turned pale in horror.

Lin Bingtian's laughter became louder and wilder, and he said with a long smile:
"When you see a dragon in the field, the phoenix transforms into a real dragon, a great struggle will arise. Junior brother, it is another round of great struggle, and it is time for my Yin and Yang lineage to emerge again! Junior brother, please go to the divine city of Chu State first Take a look, take a look. We old men have been trapped in this Yunwu Mountain for 40 years. It’s time to go down and see these thousands of miles of rivers and mountains!"

There is one thing that Lin Bingtian has not said in his mind, and that is the Qian hexagram "seeing the dragon in the field", which secretly corresponds to a hexagram, that is "seeing the master with benefit".

Your Excellency, you are a real dragon!
There is another layer of hidden meaning in the words of the ancestors back then:
If my yin and yang lineage wants to revive, it must rely on the imperial power. This is "beneficial to you, sir"!
…………

Returning to Funing Hall, Zhao Yu looked at the note in his hand, his eyes changing.

This crumpled piece of paper is the so-called voucher for the Wuzong secret treasury.

But, did the Wuzong Secret Treasury really exist in the history of Da Chu?
Zhao Yu still had some doubts in his heart.

Finally, he summoned Du Yu, who had served as the school secretary, and asked him about it.

"Your Majesty, I have seen these four words in the original miscellany collected by Chongwen Museum."

Du Yu said while recalling.

"There are records in rural unofficial history that Emperor Wuzong once established an additional secret treasury outside the royal inner treasury, which was prepared to reward meritorious generals and descendants after the success of the Northern Expedition. However, because Emperor Wuzong suddenly contracted a serious illness in the army, he only He passed away in time and reluctantly passed the throne to Emperor Wenzong, and no one knew the location of the secret treasury."

Having said this, Du Yu quietly glanced at Zhao Yu's expression and continued:
"There are rumors in the countryside that this secret vault not only contains the savings of Emperor Wuzong for several decades, but also many magical secrets collected from the north and south expeditions. It even contains the Red Dragon Divine Sword of Emperor Taizu, so Emperor Wenzong and all previous emperors also sent people to search for it, but they couldn’t find any clues, so in the end they had no choice but to let it go.”

The Red Dragon Divine Sword was the personal weapon of Taizu of Chu State.

When the former Han Dynasty lost its deer, the whole world chased it away.Taizu fought up an uprising in Jingshan, and got the help of wealthy merchants. He cast a knife with red copper, black steel, fine gold and iron, and named this knife "Red Dragon" in the meaning of "casting a child with ten thousand taels of muddy gold, and cutting a white dragon with an inch of loyalty". "Dragon", followed Taizu in the south and north, and made great contributions.

After the founding of the Chu Kingdom, the Red Dragon Divine Sword became one of the symbols of imperial power in the Chu Kingdom.

However, as far as Zhao Yu knew, the Red Dragon Divine Sword disappeared during the late period of Wu Zong's reign, but he did not expect that it was hidden by Wu Zong in the secret vault.

The Wenzong lineage spent great efforts to find this sword in order to use it to prove the legitimacy of their throne.

It's a pity that in the end it was all in vain...

After asking Du Yu to retire, Zhao Yu summoned Gao Zhan, the right minister of the Ministry of War, who was about to retire after the New Year, into the palace.

"Your Majesty, although our ancestor Gao Hengwu was a trusted minister of Emperor Wu, his family has gone through several ups and downs since he was deposed, and there are only a few words left about what our ancestor said in the past."

Having said this, he saw a look of disappointment on Zhao Yu's face, and took out a blood-colored jade bracelet from his arms, presented it to Zhao Yu with both hands, and said:
"However, when our ancestor passed away, he had a last word that we, the descendants of the Gao family, will never forget. This bracelet was ordered by the Emperor Wu to keep it safe for the Gao family. When the blood of the Emperor Wuzong comes back to the throne, I and his descendants will be asked to dedicate this bracelet to us. Because our ancestors He once said that this bracelet is related to His Majesty Wuzong, so I, the descendants of the Gao family, will remember it in my heart and dare not forget a word of it."

Taking the blood-colored jade bracelet, Zhao Yu sighed:
"My lord, my family is truly loyal. I and the imperial court will not treat our loyal ministers unfairly."

After Gao Zhan retreated, Zhao Yu groped for the patterns on the jade bracelet and became more and more impressed by Wu Zong's foresight.

But, doesn’t this jade bracelet require blood to be used?
Thinking of this, Zhao Yu, with the mentality of giving it a try, forced a drop of blood from the tip of his left finger and dripped it on the jade bracelet.

I saw that the jade bracelet was like a sponge, absorbing the blood attached to the surface in an instant, and the blood color on the chalcedony became deeper and deeper.

"Is this...a dragon pattern?"

Looking at the continuous dragon-like chalcedony, Zhao Yu was slightly stunned.

The next moment, the dragon-patterned eyes glowed brightly, and two illusory blood lights suddenly shot out from the jade bracelet, shooting towards the outside of Funing Hall.

"I'm going to relax outside the palace, Lishi, and don't let anyone follow me." After saying this to Gao Lishi, Zhao Yu moved and left the Funing Hall, chasing after the bloody light.

"This is... the Ancestral Temple, have I come here again?"

Looking at the familiar building in front of him, Zhao Yu showed a dumbfounded expression.

Unexpectedly, I came here once in the morning and again in the evening.

"It seems that this secret warehouse was built underground by Wu Zong under the Imperial Ancestral Temple. Wu Zong's courage is really extraordinary..."

Zhao Yu thought like this in his heart, but kept moving. With the help of Qinggong, he quickly arrived at the main hall of the Imperial Ancestral Temple without disturbing the temple Zhu.

I saw the blood light emitted from the jade bracelet passing through the statue of Taizu of Chu standing in the center of the main hall and falling on a wall behind the statue.

Zhao Yu's heart moved, and he ducked in front of the wall, stretched out his hand and gently pressed against the ordinary bluestone brick.

"Crench!"

With a slight mechanical sound, a small door slowly opened from the back of the Taizu statue, revealing a deep corridor extending downward.

"Tsk, you are actually making a fuss about the statue of Taizu. It seems that I still underestimated the courage of the old man Wu Zong. Isn't this person afraid that Taizu will beat him with his belt?" Zhao Yu was slightly stunned, "But it seems that When Emperor Wu Zong rebuilt the Ancestral Temple, it was Gao Hengwu who was in charge of it. This makes sense."

After sighing a few words, Zhao Yu stepped into the corridor.

In the corridor, the evergreen lamp flickered.

Zhao Yu took advantage of the light and finally came to a stone gate.

On the stone gate, there are four big characters written "Dachu Secret Treasury", and a line of words on each side:

"Anyone who is not the emperor of the Zhao family will be doomed if he enters by force!"

This... is really Wu Zong's handwriting!

Looking at the publicity words on the stone gate that looked like silver hooks and iron strokes, Zhao Yu once again confirmed his suspicion just now.

Without too much hesitation, he used his inner strength and pushed open the stone door. What caught Zhao Yu's eyes was a vast space of nearly a thousand square meters.

The most eye-catching thing is a weapon placed in the center of the secret vault.

It was a long knife.

A long knife decorated with a dragon's head, with faint blood gleaming on the edge.

Red Dragon Sword!

Zhao Yu murmured.

The personal armament of Taizu of Chu.

As if sensing the arrival of the master's bloodline, the Red Dragon Sword's blade suddenly trembled, emitting bursts of buzzing sounds that sounded like joy.

Zhao Yu's eyes flashed.

[Five-star magic weapon: Red Dragon Sword]

[Introduction to the Divine Weapon: The Divine Weapon worn by the founder of the Great Chu Kingdom is made of red copper, black steel, fine gold, and meteorite iron. It can cut iron like mud and break hair with ease. 】

[Characteristics of Divine Weapon:
Destroy the Front - During battle, there is a chance of destroying all weapons below three stars. The chance decreases as the weapon level increases.

Dragon Soul - After the magic weapon recognizes its master, it can obtain dragon soul protection.During the dragon soul protection period, the damage taken by oneself is reduced by 10%. 】

[Effect of wearing: Soldier master's force +5. 】

[Remarks: This knife has been hidden in the secret storehouse to suppress the dragon veins of Dachu. It has been for more than two hundred years and has accumulated countless murderous evil spirits. When it comes out, it will see blood, and if it does not see blood, it will not return. 】

Seeing the last note, Zhao Yu completely gave up the idea of ​​taking out this Red Dragon Sword as his own weapon.

One is that the Chilong Saber suppresses the Dachu dragon veins, and dare not move lightly, otherwise who knows what disaster will happen;

The second is the deep resentment of this magic weapon that longs for blood.He, Zhao Yu, doesn't want to end up working for a sword and become a sword slave because of a moment of greed...

Thinking of this, Zhao Yu felt that it was better to keep this magic weapon in the secret vault to suppress the dragon vein.

Zhao Yu withdrew his gaze from the Red Dragon Sword and looked around the secret warehouse.

There are dozens of bookcases neatly displayed on the east, west, north, south, and east walls of the secret library. Each bookcase contains a book of magical secrets, which are obviously accumulated by the Chu royal family for more than [-] years.

On the south side, nearly ten three-foot-square mahogany boxes were placed, which were piled up tightly and were as tall as a person.

Zhao Yu opened one or two boxes and couldn't help being dumbfounded.

Among the two boxes he opened, one contained various weapons. Whether it was a sword or a shield, they were all famous. They were obviously the magical weapons of the past generations collected by the royal family. Although they were not as good as the Red Dragon Sword, most of them were They are all two-star and three-star magic weapons, and there are even three or four four-star magic weapons.

No matter which one of these magical weapons, they are treasures coveted by warriors and generals in the army.

One box contains all kinds of jewelry made by famous craftsmen, and the value of each piece is more than a thousand taels of silver.

In addition to jewelry, there are several rare treasures at the bottom of the box, each with its own magical uses.

In addition to the southeast sides, there are rows of wooden shelves erected on the north side, with jade boxes one foot in length placed on them.

On each jade box, there is a piece of yellow paper, with a writing brush writing what is contained in the jade box.

Zhao Yu looked at them one by one and saw that what was written above were all ancient and wonderful medicines that are hard to find today.

Colorful snow lotus, jade-faced polygonum multiflorum, blazing golden toad...

Heaven and Earth longevity elixir, Tianji elixir, Ningbi elixir...

On the west side, there were nearly a hundred wooden boxes. Zhao Yu opened a few at random and couldn't help holding his breath. What was inside was an ingot of cast gold and silver ingots, each one of them. There are a full twelve layers.

Zhao Yu made a rough estimate. The total gold and silver in these nearly a hundred wooden boxes, converted into silver taels, was at least 800 million taels!
After gathering his mood, Zhao Yu began to look for suitable exercises.

Although he had a strong internal strength due to that man, but without an internal skill that matched the attributes of his internal strength, it would have been a blessing to be able to achieve seven or eight achievements with his powerful cultivation.

In addition, he also needs a light skill and a weapon training method to coordinate.

After searching on the bookshelf for a long time, Zhao Yu finally found his target.

The Chu royal family's martial arts "Huang Ji Jing Shi Lu", and the light kung fu "Wind and Fire Zhen Xing Jue".

Unexpectedly, "Huangji Jingshi Lu" was hidden here by Wu Zong. No wonder Wenzong's lineage would be frantically looking for this secret vault.

Zhao Yu sighed in his heart.

Without Taizu's troops and royal martial arts, the legitimacy of the throne of Wenzong's lineage was greatly reduced.

However, except for these two books, all the other martial arts collected in the secret library are not to Zhao Yu's liking.

What surprised Zhao Yu was that nearly [-]% of the martial arts in his collection were Buddhist martial arts.

Zhao Yu has seen at least half of the famous 72 stunts in Buddhism, such as the Flower Nian Hand, the Dragon Claw Hand, the Magic Skill of Subduing the Dragon and Subduing the Tiger, and the Tiger Roaring Golden Bell. They are all collected in this secret vault.

However, thinking about what Wuzong did back then, and why Buddhism has almost disappeared in the south of the Canglong River in the past 200 years, Zhao Yu roughly understood.

Bringing two cheat books out of the secret vault, Zhao Yu has no intention of using the hidden treasures for the time being.

The gold and silver confiscated from homes a few days ago is enough to support the Ministry of Revenue for a few months. As long as it lasts until next summer and the summer taxes are collected, the imperial government's finances will be able to breathe a sigh of relief.

Savings are limited. If you don’t think about how to increase revenue and reduce expenditure, even if you are not careful, all your wealth will be wasted.
