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

"In the outer garden of Yuling? Let's go later... Miss Shi, why don't we go to the other side hall first and see the treasures in it?"

Zhao Qing was not surprised to see that Xi Shi actually entered this place earlier than him. He noticed that Xi Shi was wearing a jade pendant with a nine-tailed fox carved on it, and guessed that she should have a high level of talent for cultivation, and perhaps she was recommended by Fan Li. The purpose of coming here is to understand the secrets related to the Tushan clan.

Preparing to take a look at the treasures preserved in these palaces, Zhao Qing temporarily declined Shi Yiguang's invitation to lead the way, and his eyes fell again on the Gui Bi in the copper box at hand. He vaguely felt that it seemed to have consumed some of its charm and changed. It's a bit dimmer, obviously somewhat consumed.

It is almost impossible to describe this level of occult magic and magical power with pure words. It needs to be integrated with the Taoism of those who practice this skill to leave a complete inheritance. Therefore, as future generations understand it again and again , the Dao will gradually become weaker as it repeatedly evolves the techniques.

However, the many masters who left behind these gems obviously had superb methods. The Taoist meaning in their gems could slowly absorb the spiritual inspiration of heaven and earth and replenish the loss after each enlightenment. However, in any case, there are still some differences in frequency. Certain restrictions.

……

Although it can be seen from the fact that Zhao Qing initially memorized the "Fixing Mountain and Tree Planting Technique" in two hours, she can fully comprehend more than a dozen inheritances in three days, but generally speaking, it is difficult to continuously comprehend the different traditions in a short period of time. Kung Fu can easily have a negative impact because they are mutually exclusive, so it is not as good as just studying one.

Taking this into consideration, Zhao Qing looked at the Monkey King who was still comprehending Jinyun's "Surveying Eyes" not far away, and was not going to disturb him. Instead, he went to other places first to see if there were any similar Taoist meanings. For inheritance, choose a few suitable ones to achieve complementary effects.

After only walking a hundred steps, she had already arrived at the door of another side hall. She pushed Xishi in through the door, and then saw a solemn and solemn scene that was no less impressive than Wangui Hall.

It is thousands of slowly rotating circular rails, assembled in an extremely delicate way to form a three-story hollow jade platform. Each jade platform is one foot or two feet high, and is decorated with a dazzling array of ancient artifacts and treasures. Changing and constantly moving, revealing their details from different perspectives:
On it, there are incomplete broken swords that seem to contain endless and far-reaching auras. There are ancient characters suspected to be "Shaohao" engraved on them. There are tens of thousands of lightning-struck wood fragments covered with Kui patterns. There are gorgeous and dazzling standing bird jade hairpins. A black bowl filled with mysterious liquid;
There is also a simple bronze mirror decorated with the Queen Mother of the West with a hoopoe on her head, a jade rabbit pounding medicine, and a feathered man waiting for her, with the words "戉王戉王" engraved on it, and a pocket-sized jade spear one foot or two inches in length, each piece of jade. A jade armband engraved with five little foxes...

In the four corners of this hall, four hollow jade coiled snakes and glazed exquisite balls as big as heads are placed quietly on bronze pedestals, like eight coiled snakes intertwined with each other. It emits a fresh and distant fragrance, shining with unique brilliance.

Along with the scent of incense, and several blubber candles burning inside the ball, the candlelight reflected dazzling light on the glass, as if the entire palace was lit up, instantly becoming overflowing with light, and the smoke was in the air. Hovering in the middle, it brings a touch of liveliness and agility to this solemn hall.

But seeing the cigarette smoke and the candlelight in the temple, each ancient object shows an unpredictable color. It seems that all the worries and worries are dissipated in this smoky light and shadow, which makes people feel relaxed and happy, as if they are in a world full of dreams and mystery. In the fairyland.

However, although the layout here is exquisite and exquisite, which greatly demonstrates the appearance and characteristics of at least thousands of ancient objects on the jade platform, what is quite shocking is that just seven or eight feet away from the exhibition stand, there is a group of people surrounding a person placed on the jade platform. The jade square seat on the ground kept shouting, and there was a strangely dressed wizard sitting next to him, drinking and eating without hesitation.

The reason why it is called strange clothing is because the wizard is kneeling on the orchid mat. The upper half of his face is covered with a bronze mask, making it impossible to see his true face. The dark blue clothes are painted with mountain and cloud patterns. The robe is inlaid with thousands of exquisite jade ornaments. The number is breathtaking.

There is a jade huang with two animal heads swinging at the neckline, which looks like a mother beast carrying a small beast; there are small and delicate crescent-shaped jade ornaments, which are made into sets according to size and are the accessories on the wizard's robe; large and small The jade rings hung under the sleeves, jingling with the wizard's movements.

There are about one thousand and hundreds of crystals, agate beads, strips and tubes as big and as thick as rice grains, tied in strings with black gold threads, hanging around the mountain and cloud patterns, shining under the candlelight, as if every day Each piece contains a mysterious power.

On the wizard's waist, there are several pocket daggers two or three inches long. The sword body is made of peach wood, and the sword head and sword grid are made of jade. On it are engraved patterns symbolizing the spring god "Jumang". It is the magic weapon of the wizard and the symbol of his identity.

"The time for a stick of incense has passed, and it's time to open the market. You all still remember the bets you just made. If you lose, don't lie in front of me."

Ignoring the two people Zhao Qing who entered the palace, the wizard with extremely luxurious equipment counted his fingers and spoke without any fluctuation in tone. He turned to look at the square seat in front of him and said as he should. The lid of the gui was turned and opened suddenly, revealing the situation inside.

After hearing the wizard's words, the group of people gathered around stood up one after another, crowded each other and looked into the gui. They saw Chang Yueyang, Gumi Fucheng and Helu standing in a row, which made Zhao Qing who was watching a little bit a little bit. Surprised, it is difficult to understand why these people gave up the opportunity to understand the inheritance and gathered here to gamble and fight.

"The current clan leader of the Zenge clan, whose name is Wang Chu, is now nearly a hundred years old. Although he has the 'life-extending robe' to slow down the passage of Tao Yun, he is still approaching the end of his lifespan." Knowing the doubts in Zhao Qing's heart, he has not been there for two hours. The golden carp that made the noise jumped out and introduced to her:
"Before death, people feel melancholy and always want to escape from this world. Therefore, in the last few years, as one of the top five great wizards in the Yue Kingdom, he was too lazy to abide by the rules in the Yu Temple."

"The reason why Chang Yueyang and others are engaged in a gambling battle here is obviously because Zeng Gewangzhu made a valuable promise as a reward for the winner. It is very likely that it is the holy wine he is drinking now. .”

Recalling that the Zenge clan was cursed and had only one-fifth of the same realm, with a maximum lifespan of one hundred years under Tianyan, Zhao Qing was thoughtful, and he could understand the "fall" of this clan leader. One or two, I feel that it is normal to indulge before death.

However, what is this "holy wine"?It looks very attractive, but in the minds of Chang Yueyang and others, it seems to be much higher than the value of comprehending the inheritance.

"The so-called 'holy wine' is that the Zenge family brewed the divine pearl coix into wine from the mountain goats given by Emperor Shaokang, in order to purify the bloodline, reconcile the yin and yang of the five elements, quickly improve their cultivation, and thus maintain the continuity of their own family. It is said that the supreme secret medicine has the astonishing effect of 'a glass of wine is better than an elixir'."

"Although limited by the quality of the brewed coix, the medicinal potency of 'holy wine' varies, and the effect will gradually weaken if the same person drinks too much, but for those who drink it for the first time and are not savvy enough to understand it in a short time For those who inherit here, it is considered an excellent opportunity."

Jin Li acted as the commentator and continued: "The 'Jade Flower Thousand Treasures Life-Sustaining Dharma Clothes' made by the ancient god craftsman Yin, the 'Chongming Large-scale Wine Refining Mountain Relic' given by Shaokang, and the 'Weak Water Huanyuan Surveying Sky' "Zhan Ge", these three heaven-sealing level treasures are the treasures of the Zou Ge clan. "

Shaokang, also known as "Dukang", who revitalized the Xia Dynasty, is an iconic figure who has made major breakthroughs in wine-making techniques throughout the ages. "Shan Lei, the honorable person of the Xia Queen" is a sacrificial vessel used to hold wine in the Xia Dynasty. .A family that can be inherited from the beginning of Xia to this day really has a profound foundation. If it is exposed even a little bit, it is already a rare opportunity.Zhao Qing's thoughts moved slightly, and he looked carefully at the table next to the wizard, observing the details of the wine vessels and meals placed on it.

I saw that the height of the mountain is more than three feet, and the lid of the vessel is about one foot. The lid is in the shape of the top of a verandah, as if the four corners are upturned, like a phoenix spreading its wings and about to fly.The body of the vessel is long and square, with folded shoulders, no ears, and high round feet. The whole vessel has a cloud and thunder pattern as the base, with mountains and rivers leaping above it. The decoration is gorgeous, beautiful, and magnificent.

Next to this precious bronze square turtle, in a copper plate placed on the table, pieces of fish meat are spread out like wings, as transparent as jasper, as thin as cicada wings, and the golden dumplings are sprinkled on the fish meat. Like dots of stars, the texture of each piece of fish breast is clearly visible.

The aroma of wine is elegant and complements the fish meat.

Picking up a mouthful of sashimi with rhino horn chopsticks, Zhe Ge Wangchu tasted it, then stood up, waved his hands to separate the huddled crowd, walked up to Fang Gui, took a closer look, and said lightly:

"Well, this time the cover is unveiled, the fifth Chao fungus has not died... I just made a bet that it will die. Yes, it's you two, Chang Yueyang and Chong Mingguang. One only has two coix's tears left, and the other has no more. There are five left. If you don’t continue to increase the amount, you will be eliminated in the next round..."

The morning bacteria don’t know Hui Shuo, and the crickets don’t know Spring and Autumn?There seems to be nothing in Fang Gui, and nothing can be seen. It turns out that there are a few extremely small fungi that live and die.Considering that it was almost evening, was the content of their bet about the exact death date of the "Chao Bacteria"?
From this simple gambling game, he felt the meaning of short life, and Zhao Qing also understood Zeng Ge Wangshu's current psychology: it was like being poisoned by an incurable poison that constantly corrodes life, every moment They are all shrouded in the shadow of curse and death, and the pressure over the years can be imagined.

Even if he is just an old man whom he met for the first time, he should receive appropriate hospice care in his last days. What's more, this person is also considered an elder who has no regrets and has guarded the tomb all his life. He deserves her. Some respect.

With this thought in his mind, Zhao Qing looked at Zeng Ge Wangchu with a different look, with a little more comfort. At the same time, the other party seemed to be aware of it, and turned around to look straight at her. However, due to the half-open eyes, His face was covered by a bronze mask, but his specific expression couldn't be seen.

"Do you want to participate in this game of betting on how long the Chao fungus can live?" The next moment, the Thousand Treasures Dharma Clothes around Zhen Ge Wangshu suddenly glowed brightly, surrounded by rays of light, as if to express his joy:

"With the external vision you caused in Wangui Hall, and your talent and understanding, even if it doesn't cost you treasures, skills, etc., it is enough to record the initial amount of 99 coix tears with me."

"If you win and win one, you can exchange it with me for a cup of 'sacred wine' or other items of equal value; as long as the amount is sufficient, you can also make a request to let me do something for you that does not violate the ancestral precepts and Moral things in the world.”

……

As soon as she finished speaking, in addition to Xi Shi who had seen Zhao Qing perform in Wangui Palace, the group including Chang Yueyang and Chong Mingguang all looked at her in disbelief, asking Zhao Qing to get this amount of money directly from the beginning. , feeling unbelievable, envious, jealous, or doubtful.

"Don't think too much. No matter how high your talent and understanding are, it will not be of any use in this completely random gambling game." At this time, the person named Chong Mingguang took the initiative and said: "Speaking of which, it is my first time to participate. She has no experience in this area, so there is no guarantee that she will not lose several games in a row."

"Be careful!" Next to Chong Mingguang, a young man named Yu Ziyu lowered his voice and warned: "The great witch is so optimistic about the little girl from the outside world, so she must have something special about her. There is a big difference between them. You have lived in the village for many years, don’t you even understand this truth? "

"Haha." Another young man named Yue Buqun interrupted the two people's conversation, smiled slightly, and said: "If you want to take something, you must give it first. The great witch gave the girl such a high initial amount, and since It’s because we have the confidence to make her pay more in return... Otherwise, wouldn’t our divination skills be in vain?”

Obviously, derived surnames such as Chong, Yu, Yue, etc. all belong to the bloodline of the descendants of Dayu. They are members of the tomb-keepers. They do not see visitors from the outside for many months, and their lives are quite boring. So he took advantage of the time of Yu's sacrifice to join in the gambling game of Zhe Ge Wangshu.

While these people were talking, Helu, who looked like just one of Chang Yueyang's followers, retracted his left hand into his sleeve, secretly held a small pointer, let it pierce the skin to absorb blood, and then pulled it out Hanging in the air, the needle tip kept spinning, as if searching for something.

……

"Miss Zhao, have you made up your mind about whether to participate in the gambling?"

He took out a pile of bead-shaped coix tears from somewhere, and Zhe Gewangtang sat back at his seat at the table, and lined up a square array of ten times ten by one grain next to the dinner plate, with a faint hint of emotion in his tone. With some anticipation, he added:

"To be honest, today next year, I may not be able to live in this boring and sad world. If I miss this last opportunity, the next clan leader will definitely not continue this activity because he is still young, and will be insulated from 'Dukang Wine' from now on. Maybe it will be a big regret.”

The next leader of the Zenge clan?Still young?I guess it's Zou Ge Wuhan's turn, right?Once it is in her hands, how can "Dukang Wine" be insulated from me?
Although he suspected that when the old man passed away, he would get more "wine tasting" opportunities, but with the idea that he could exchange a glass of holy wine for something else of value and experience the divination skills of Yue shamans, Zhao Qing hesitated for a moment. Still nodded and agreed.

No matter what, if she was asked to replenish the initial amount after gambling, she would resolutely refuse to respond. Apart from a period of consumption, there would be no actual loss.Moreover, during this time, you can also do two things at once, carefully observing the treasures on the jade platform.
