The Dharma Sea of ​​the Green Snake

Chapter 836 A Rare Longevity Species
Unaware of the controversy outside, Pei Wende finally figured out the origin of the other party through difficult communication with that shadow.

According to Sombra, it is not Zhao Guizhen's dual cultivator.

It is the "tool spirit" and "backup" that Zhao Guizhen spent a lot of energy and time refining to make better use of Qin Tianwen.

No one knows where the source of Qin's astronomical documents came from.

According to the current clues, it is known that as early as the early years of the Tang Dynasty when Buddhism and Taoism were fighting for power, Qin Tianwenshu appeared in the hands of Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang.

Then, with the help of the almost omniscient power of Qin Tianwen, these two Taoist masters deduced one of the seven famous prophecies in later generations-Tui Bei Tu.

It is said that the name of "Tui Bei Tu" is taken from the last hexagram of the 64 hexagrams in Zhouyi - there are thousands and thousands of words, so it is better to push back and go back to rest.

It records in detail the future ups and downs of the Tang Dynasty's luck, as well as various major events in the next 500 years.

No matter whether it is true or not, it is the first time that the world knows the power of Qin Tianwen.

When Wu Zetian came to the throne, she, who suffered greatly from it but coveted her power, restructured and established the predecessor of Qintianjian--Huntianjian.

The name "Qin Tianwenshu" was also formed during this period.

Because compared with the Qin Tianwen in the period of Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang, Wu Zetian in this period can be said to have devoted all his efforts to making it a true artifact of the country.

Up to the sky and the universe, down to the mansion of ghosts and ghosts...

As big as natural disasters, as small as corrupt officials...

Know 3000 years before, know 3000 years later...

In its heyday, the Huntian Supervisor, with the help of Qin Tianwen, almost promoted Wu Zetian to the altar.

Even Wu Zetian herself claimed to be "the reincarnation of Maitreya", and even wanted to imitate the first emperor's practice, collecting all the bronze from the world to cast a giant Buddha.

Fortunately, there is Di Renjie under Wu Zetian's command, who stopped Wu Zetian's idea of ​​"form is more important than substance" in time.

Even so, Wu Zetian's strong support for the Hun Tianjian has never been relaxed.

It wasn't until after Wu Zetian's death that the Huntianjian, an institution created by the empress, finally declined due to the renewed rivalry between Buddhism and Taoism.

This situation continued until Zhao Guizhen appeared.

Knowing how terrifying Qin Tianwen's documents are, Zhao Guizhen rebuilt the Hun Tian Jian, renamed it Qin Tian Jian, and built the current Qin Tian Jian Temple on its original site.

However, although Zhao Guizhen rebuilt the Qin Tianjian, he recovered all the broken pages of Qin Tian's documents.

But after all, Qin Tianwen is something from the time of the Empress, and after experiencing several subsequent Buddhist and Taoist disputes, it has long lost its glory as a national artifact.

Therefore, in order to make the Qin Tianwenshu work normally again and become a national artifact to assist the Tang Dynasty, Zhao Guizhen built a nine-story exquisite pagoda in the mirror world.

This nine-story exquisite pagoda can bring together the broken pages of Qin Tianwen, and reproduce its full power at its peak.

At the same time, in order to better use the ability of Qin Tianwenshu, a "tool spirit" was born specially for this purpose.

The "Qi Ling" born at the beginning was ignorant, and may not even have the most basic logical thinking ability. It is just an instinct of the nine-story Linglong Pagoda.

This pure instinct drives the "artifact spirit" to manage everything in the tower.

This includes driving those black shadows to read and record the words in the broken pages of Qin Tianwen, and then collect them into books according to certain rules and place them in the nine-story exquisite pagoda.

The piles of books that Pei Wende saw in the Linglong Pagoda appeared in this way.

The Linglong Pagoda, which seems to have only nine floors, actually has far more books piled up than what Pei Wende saw.

Whenever a book is organized into volumes, the pagoda will automatically generate a bookshelf that can accommodate it.

It can be said that as long as the nine-story exquisite pagoda is not destroyed, endless space can be derived from its interior, and there is almost no situation where books are read.

Of course, such a function is nothing compared to the Qin Tian Wenwen, where new knowledge emerges all the time.

However, Qin Tianwen has long been broken if it can't stand it, but the nine-story Linglong Pagoda is a complete and powerful magic weapon.

In addition to the most basic duplication and arrangement, the nine-story exquisite pagoda has its own subspace inside, as well as the ability to sign a contract with any life.

The huge number of black shadows in the mirror world is the product of the contract between the demon masters of Qintianjian and the nine-story exquisite pagoda.

Anyone who enters the nine-storey Linglong Pagoda to read the materials will leave a black shadow similar to a "backup" in the mirror world.

This black shadow has no effect on the body, it just exists like a reflection in a mirror.

However, under the contract of the nine-story exquisite pagoda, these black shadows can possess entities and inherit some of the abilities of the main body.

When the outside body dies, these black shadows with entities will also "die", turning into those pitch-black puppets without facial features that Pei Wende saw before.

And the first black shadow that appeared in Linglong Pagoda was the so-called "Qi Ling".

It is the black shadow left by Zhao Guizhen in the Linglong Pagoda, and it is also a shadow spirit that has been carefully cultivated and guided by him.

——The wisdom of all spirits is essence, and the wisdom of all things is strange.

After a long period of baptism of the vitality of the world, even the stone wooden fish may become a ghost.

So in this mirror world where shadows can exist almost forever, Zhao Guizhen has cultivated his own shadow into a spirit, what is there to be surprised about?
Its essence is an existence from the same source as Zhao Guizhen, but it has inherited the ability of the nine-story exquisite pagoda, and it has long been separated from the category of pure spirits and monsters.

From being ignorant at the beginning, to being able to communicate with Zhao Guizhen later.

The more this shadow spirit grows, the more he can feel the difference in himself.

I am not of the same kind as those stupid black shadows, and those mortals with flesh and blood are also not of my own kind...

Even the "father" who conceived him was different from him.

Fortunately, the shadow spirit doesn't care about these things, but is very curious about what the world outside the mirror looks like.

It's a pity that although shadow spirits have abilities far superior to other shadows, they are only born in the mirror world after all, and cannot exist independently from the mirror world.

Even when there are no outsiders coming to the mirror world, the shadow spirit can only "sleep" in order to ensure that its character will not be distorted by endless loneliness.

And this is also the main reason why the shadow spirit looks very naive, and can't even speak.

Its growth cycle is too long, and decades will not be much longer than a moment for it.

The shadow spirits born in the mirror world are born immortal species, and they are almost immortal as long as they are not exposed to sunlight.
