If you don't give up, I'd like to be your adoptive father.

Chapter 985: Mohist Mechanical Beast

After listening to the principles of Xiaoyu's self-created celestial magic, Meng Qi was speechless.

"The fairy's idea is inevitably a little simplistic. You just now at most communicated with the Yellow River, which is a deep-level unity of man and nature, not a true unity of the Tao.

The starting point and the end point are wrong. The immortal method you create may not be able to cultivate into an immortal, let alone a righteous Daluo. "

Xiao Yu waved her hands and said, "It's not just a simple sympathy, I am truly in harmony with the Yellow River.

After Daluo He Dao, the Golden Immortal is the Great Dao, and the Great Dao is the Golden Immortal, right?
I am the Yellow River itself, and everything in the Yellow River is clearly visible in my eyes.

He Bo also convened a big river banquet, preparing to arrange for the Dragon King of Jing River to serve as a secret agent to come to Xianyang to gather intelligence!

He thought his Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation could block my spying.

But he had no idea that the reason I alarmed him before was that it was my first time trying it and I was not familiar with the technique.

When I truly achieved harmony with the Tao, the old dragon only felt depressed and as if his power over water had been lost. He had no idea that I was right above him, watching their performance.

If this isn’t the right path, then what is it?”

Meng Qi was shocked and suspicious, and asked: "Fairy Yu, are you sure you didn't have a deep connection with the Yellow River and have hallucinations?

You are in Xianyang City, how can you see the secret meeting in Hebo Dragon Palace?

As you said, He Bo is alert and has activated the immortal formation to prevent outsiders from spying!"

Although he practiced the Celestial Immortal Technique, his own realm was that of a Mysterious Immortal. A Celestial Immortal could not advance vigorously and quickly break through the Dan-Returning Stage, and was stuck in the bottleneck for tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of years before being called a "Mysterious Immortal".

To put it bluntly, he is not even a Golden Immortal.

I don't know what it feels like to achieve the Daluo He Dao, and I don't want to believe that a wild cultivator who has never seen the immortal magic can achieve the Daluo He Dao.

Even if it’s just the Yellow River Road.

Xiao Yu smiled and said, "He Bo is an old fool. If he uses another immortal formation to isolate time and space, I may not be able to see the scene in the Dragon Palace clearly.

But the name of the immortal formation, 'Nine-bend Yellow River Formation', has already explained everything.

It is very powerful, much better than the 'Yellow River Formation' I set up in Dalu Lake.

But its foundation is the Yellow River itself.

After I merged with the Yellow River, I became the Yellow River and the Yellow River was me.

Can I still be blocked by the Nine Bends Yellow River Formation?"

Meng Qi glanced at the Yellow River True Shape Map, and with a thought in mind, he asked, "Now that you have left the True Shape Map, can you still communicate with the Yellow River and see the Hebo Dragon Palace?"

Xiao Yu shook his head and said, "I can only vaguely sense the change in the water level of the Yellow River, as if I could hear someone carrying a bucket and pouring water into another bucket through the wall.

By the vague sound of water, judge the amount of water in the two buckets. "

Meng Qi breathed a sigh of relief. This guy was definitely a rare talent, but he was not so outrageous as to be able to learn everything on his own and create his own magic.

"Obviously, you have only used the innate spiritual treasure to have a very deep sympathy with the Yellow River, which is still the unity of man and nature, not the unity of Tao.

If you are truly in harmony with the Tao, you do not need the help of any magical artifacts; you are always the Tao itself.

Moreover, the Golden Immortal of Great Luo does not merge with just one avenue.

It doesn't mean that if the Golden Immortal practices water magic, it will be in line with the water way of the Five Elements.

If the Golden Immortal practices water magic, water magic is only the direction of his own great path.

When he was in harmony with the Tao, his heart of Tao and his heart of Heaven merged, and he was able to master all the great ways of the Pangu world.

Even though he had never learned fire magic, he could still perform great-level fire magic with ease.

Therefore, the Golden Immortal of Daluo has almost no flaws and can open up the earth, water, wind and fire to create the universe.

If one can create the universe, then he must also master all the great principles that make up the universe, right?
You only fit the Yellow River. The Yellow River is a natural landscape, a part of the world, not the road.

However, your Yellow River Dharma may become a 'path'."

Xiao Yu hesitated for a moment, but still insisted: "I know I have not merged with the Yellow River.

I mean the feeling and state are exactly the same as those of the Daluo Jinxian.

Working towards that direction, isn't that the way to become a celestial being?"

——But you are not a Daluo Jinxian, and you have never truly merged with the Dao. How do you know what it feels like and what the state is like to merge with the Dao? I am an old Xuanxian who has practiced the Heavenly Immortal Method for hundreds of thousands of years, but I don’t know what it feels like to merge with the Dao.

Meng Qi complained in his heart, but didn't want to argue with her anymore.

She had never seen the celestial immortal magic, and he was not even a golden immortal.

It's really ridiculous to hear them arguing about "attaining the Great Dao".

"Well, Fairy Yu, at least you have found the direction of your cultivation. Whether you succeed or not, it is a good thing.

The most frightening thing about cultivation after becoming an immortal is getting lost. Come on, don’t be afraid of failure.”

After giving some encouragement, he also reminded, “It’s just that this place and now is not the place to realize the truth.

You have been in the secret room for two days and two nights, and there are still many things waiting for us outside!"

Xiaoyu looked around at the true form diagram that was flashing with spiritual light, her eyes were burning, and her heart was even hotter.

“The most important duty of a Heavenly Master is to control rain.

As long as we can ensure good weather and good harvests in the coming year for Daqin, the Imperial Observatory will have accomplished its mission, right?
I will be stationed here, monitoring the 'Nine Provinces Landscape Map' and protecting these true-form maps from being taken away by He Bo."

Meng Qi sighed, "Times are different now. In times of peace, it is enough to ensure that the weather in Great Qin is good and the crops are good.

Now you are about to become the Grand Tutor. If you keep hiding here, the next time you see the light of day, it may be that the rebels will capture Xianyang, break into the Imperial Observatory, and drag you out to be executed.

Of course, Fairy Yu has great magical powers and is definitely not afraid of the rebels, but you must understand what I mean."

Xiao Yu said, "I will stay here. When the rebels break through Hangu Pass, I will take these treasures and flee with the Ying clan. It will be in time."

Meng Qi said: "You can't just run away, you have to bring enough old Qin people with you to establish the Western Qin Empire in this chaotic and barbaric land.

Personnel arrangements and material transfers are extremely complicated and require your real-time control.

When you go to the West, establish a country, and stabilize Western Qin, you will be able to take your time and it won’t matter if you spend 10,000 years cultivating.”

Xiao Yu asked, "Before you ran away, didn't you plan to leave a few helpers for me?"

Meng Qi thought for a moment and said, "Yang Li, Master Guan, and Master Huihe can all be your helpers."

"Yang Li plans to run away with you." Xiao Yu said.

"He can't run away. He has deep ties with the Qin Dynasty." Meng Qi said.

"He said you promised to take him with you." Xiaoyu said again.

Meng Qi was a little embarrassed and muttered, "I just want to keep a few helpers for you. Make him suffer a little more, and I will bear the blame."

Then he added: “I will also leave my Dao Palace He Lin to you.

Don't count on him for big things, but let him work on the ordinary things.

Now you must first familiarize yourself with the operation of the Imperial Observatory and the assets left by the Emperor."

He glanced at the true-shape maps flying around and said with a chuckle, "The fairy couldn't move after seeing a mere true-shape map of mountains and rivers.

But little do they know that the real good stuff is hidden in the secret vault of the Black Ice Platform!"

Of course he was happy to see her obsession.

Because this means that "Master Yu" will soon become a reality.

The Kyushu Landscape Map is only the main means of detecting the water veins and land veins of Kyushu, but not all.

After leaving the treasure map room of the Fengzhen True Shape Map, Meng Qi took Xiao Yu to the "Qingyusi Lingbao Pavilion".

Meng Qi said: "The Jiuzhou Landscape Map can only observe the activity of the earth veins and the rainfall in various places. But the purpose of the Human Emperor is obviously not just monitoring. The purpose of measurement is to better control."

Lingbao Pavilion is very large, equivalent to digging an airport inside the Qinling Mountains.

There are all kinds of spiritual treasures inside.

"To control precipitation, the most direct and effective way is, of course, to offer sacrifices to the heavens and pray for rain.

But there are laws in nature, and there is usually a fixed number for how much rain will fall in which place.

If the God of Rain in Heaven refuses to cooperate, then we will have to "man conquers nature."

Meng Qi pointed at a huge white porcelain bottle eight meters high, pinched his fingers and said "small".

The porcelain vase shrank to the size of a palm.

"This is the Heavenly Bottle, which can hold three trillion buckets of water. It is only when it cannot be carried that it is rare that it cannot hold more."

Xiao Yu frowned and said, "Using the Palm of Heaven Bottle to collect rainwater from the flooded areas and transfer it to areas with severe drought?"

Ten years ago, the monk Miao she met at Feixiandu used this method to bring down a flood.

This should be the evil method of Vajra Zen.

Meng Qi shook his head and said, "It's not just that simple. You have seen the Jiuzhou landscape map before. The entire Jiuzhou water veins, even with the clouds in the sky, form a whole.

The amount of water in each region will have an impact on the overall situation.

For example, if you use magic to bring rain in Beidi County, it may cause a severe drought in Jiaodong County thousands of miles away.

Originally, there were no flood disasters in Jiaodong County, but the extra rain in Beidi County affected the overall flow of water veins.

In this way, not only will it fail to regulate rainfall, but the person who performs the spell will also be guilty of sinning before the heavens.

"Is the Palm of Heaven Bottle considered an evil method of Vajra Zen?" Xiao Yu asked.

Meng Qi said: "It counts, and it doesn't count. If a sorcerer uses the Heavenly Palm Bottle to take natural water and use it to indulge in pleasure, or to show off his divine powers in front of others, then it is an evil Vajra Zen.

If the Heavenly Master uses the same method to draw water and bring rain, ensuring good weather and a good harvest for the people in China, then this is the righteous way of Heaven.

The people’s will is the will of Heaven. What the people will support is the will of Heaven.

The Heavenly Master had the same idea of ​​saving the world and the people, but he ended up making things worse, with the consequences being even more serious than using the evil method of Vajra Zen.

The Heavenly Court does not like human dynasties interfering with the gods’ right to bring rain.

The land is barren and full of starving people. The Jade Emperor will definitely seize the opportunity to attack.

Therefore, you must be extremely careful when using the Zhantian Bottle.

Generally speaking, we don’t expect it to change the overall situation, it is just a tool to cooperate with rainfall.”

"Your this and that." Meng Qi pointed to a huge funnel, a war drum with thunder patterns, and a gray leather bag one by one, "These are all instruments for rain. One is a 'rain bucket' that gathers rain clouds, a thunder drum that summons thunder, and a wind bag.

As I said before, extreme measures are only used when normal sacrifices to heaven for rain fail.

Of course, the Heavenly Master's prayer for rain can only provide a temporary solution.

If China is to have long-term peace and prosperity, it depends on humanity itself."

Then he pointed to the next magical treasure, a "golden hoop stick".

A black iron rod that is two meters high and as thick as a bowl, with a golden hoop at each end and three dragon characters on the rod: Lingyang Rod.

"This is the Lingyang Rod that Li Bing asked the ancient immortal Rong Chenggong to help him make when he was controlling floods in Shu. It is specially used to measure water levels.

It is said that it was modeled after the Dinghai Shenzhen iron used by Dayu to control floods.

No one knows where the magical iron sank into the deep ravine. The kings of the Central Plains searched for it for many years but couldn't find it.

Forced rainfall can only provide a temporary solution.

Once a mistake is made, it is easy to cause people to blame God, so the safest way is to manage the river.

Especially with the Kyushu Landscape Map, experienced celestial masters can calculate in advance how the river should be shaped, how deep and how wide it should be dug. "

Afterwards, Meng Qi introduced to Xiaoyu dozens of magical treasures that were specifically used to control water and repair rivers.

There is the Lingyang Rod for measuring water depth, the "Baibao Lake" for measuring water flow, and the "Tiansheng Rope" for locating water veins.

There is also an Eight Diagrams copper furnace as big as a truck, which can refine "copycat Xirang": by drawing on the earth elemental force of the earth veins, and using various strange stones as raw materials, a lump of mud similar to Xirang can be refined, which can quickly condense many rocks into a whole piece, forming a dam as solid as a mountain wall.

There is also a "magic weapon" like a shield machine, called "Drilling Dragon". It is as huge as a shield machine, but more powerful than a shield machine - it is specially used underwater to drill through mountains and tap underground water veins.

However, the shield machine has been dismantled to the point where only the frame remains.

Meng Qi just casually explained it and then introduced the next magic weapon.

Xiao Yu held him back and asked in confusion, "Why do you want to dismantle the 'Drilling Dragon'?"

Meng Qi looked at the earth-drilling dragon with contempt and said, "This thing is the real evil Vajra Zen.

It's not just ordinary evil, it's extremely evil and shouldn't exist in the human world at all.

It was I who ordered it to be demolished.

Not only the Earth Driller, but all the mechanical beasts built by the Mohists will be demolished."

Hearing this, Xiaoyu immediately thought of the famous "Yunxiao Flying Boat" of the Qin Dynasty.

A flying boat can easily transport tens of thousands of tons of food and fodder.

Ten thousand shi is approximately equal to 600,000 jin, which is enough to feed an army of 10,000 people for a month.

Meng Huo told her that not only the Yunxiao flying boat, but also many Taoist mechanical beasts were dismantled by Queen Dowager Zhao.

Now it seems that the culprit is still this old Mengtou!
"Didn't you say before, senior, that if magic is used for righteous purposes, it will not be considered an evil Vajra Zen?" Xiao Yu said.

"Fairy, do you understand the evil method of Vajra Zen?" Meng Qi asked.

Xiaoyu repeated the theory he had heard from Duke Xiang.

Meng Qi pondered and said, "It is too complicated to study who created the Taoist magic and where the 'vitality' that drives the Taoist magic comes from.

Actually, it can be simpler.

Use talismans skillfully to seize power for a while, steal the essence of heaven and earth, and use the power of ghosts and gods.

In Buddhism, it is called the evil Vajra Zen, and in my Taiyi Xuanmen, it is called "illusion".

All power has to have a source.

Like you and me, we have practiced the true immortal method of extracting and adding water and fire, changing marrow and moving tendons, and have possessed powerful "internal strength". We have also comprehended the laws of heaven and understood the principles of Taoism.

Using one's own internal strength to drive the rules of one's own understanding is basically not considered an evil method of Vajra Zen.

Even if it is recorded by the Heavenly Court's talisman messenger as an evil Vajra Zen practice, there is no need to worry too much.

There are also big and small evil ways. For those of us who practice inner strength and realize the great Dao, even if we violate the taboos of some powerful beings, it is only a minor offense. After death, the soul will fall into Fengdu, where it will only be imprisoned, and there is no need to suffer in the eighteen levels of hell.

But those clever lunatics of the Mohist school neither practiced the true skills of Taoism nor comprehended the great principles of heaven and earth. They only studied runes and spells.

They themselves may be just mortals who do not understand the internal skills of immortal martial arts. They just engrave runes on the parts of the mechanism, combine them together, and drive them with spells.

In this case, aren’t all the extraordinary powers of the mechanical beasts the elite of stealing the world?
However, the Mohist mechanical beasts are extremely powerful. They can fly into the sky and hide underground, and change the world. They are more powerful than immortals.

They can do many things that golden immortals cannot do.

This is simply a crazy plunder of the 'elite of heaven and earth'. Can you imagine how serious the consequences would be?
In those days, Qin Shi Huang was at its peak, and the dragon vein under the Qinling Mountains was so huge that it could be called the "Ancestor Dragon of China."

The Qin Dynasty had sufficient fortune to withstand the turmoil of those crazy people from the Mohist school.

Now that the Ancestral Dragon has passed away and the Qin Dynasty is about to perish, the national fortune is insufficient, and using those mechanical beasts is not actively seeking death?"
