From a carp to a dragon god

Chapter 55: Spring Breeze

Divination can be divided into two types: asking questions and fortune-telling. Among them, fortune-telling is the most common, which is to burn tortoise shells and ox bones, while asking questions is to ask gods for advice.

The divination method of the Xuanwu Turtle Book is naturally suitable for both. You can use the tortoise shell to divine, or you can pray to Xuanwu and ask for divination.

There is a huge gap between the two. The results of divination require the diviner to comprehend and interpret, and the answers often seem to be true but are not.

There is no need to guess when asking for divination, the answer will be told directly. The disadvantage is that there is no process at all, which often leads to fate playing tricks on you because you want to avoid the answer, which leads to the inevitable outcome.

Yu Shuyang has never liked asking for divination. Most of the time, witches and sorcerers would use the name of God to cheat people, or even do something behind the scenes to ensure that the result of the divination would definitely happen.

In contrast, he prefers the method of inference, using known conditions to calculate an unknown answer. It may not be accurate, but he can try to grasp it.

Yellowstone is a local treasure and the main spiritual material used in refining the Treasure Basin. For those who practice the Way of the God of Wealth, it is a magic weapon to stabilize fortune, just like a man seeing a woman he loves.

The spring breeze and pure energy in the mysterious orifice had shrunk by half and no longer affected Yu Shuyang's spellcasting. He used the wedding candlestick to borrow the power of the two stars Xu and Shi to predict the good or bad changes in things.

A phantom of a black tortoise's plastron was seen, with six holes drilled on it, arranged vertically and symmetrically in pairs. It was then burned to observe the signs of cracks forming.

A turtle has twelve pieces of plastron, which symbolize the twelve Earthly Branches. Therefore, the Turtle Book is divided into two parts, the upper part, the Heavenly Book, is modeled after the carapace, and the lower part, the Earthly Book, is modeled after the plastron.

Burning tortoise shells to look up to the sky for divination may sometimes produce no results, such as the shell breaking into pieces or there being no signs, which are all signs of divination failure.

Obviously, Yu Shuyang's skills were good, and he quickly obtained the omen patterns. By observing the horizontal and vertical cracks, he could interpret the celestial phenomena.

This very primitive trace is one of the earliest heavenly scripts. He doesn't understand much, but he has a way to cheat.

Copy the omen pattern and directly cast a spell to deduce and interpret it using the Black Tortoise Book. This is much simpler than divination.

After a moment or two, the answer came out. It was a small blessing, but you needed to be cautious, because good fortune and misfortune always go hand in hand.

"Li Zhen, you'd better be more cautious. The result is not that good, and it reminds us of potential dangers. It seems that this matter is still not safe." Yu Shuyang said to his cousin uncertainly.

Li Zhen nodded after hearing this. He had never heard that his cousin had the ability of divination before. This thing is considered the highest level of existence among both gods and immortals.

Among the monsters, most of them are turtle monsters that are famous for divination. This can be seen from the fact that every dragon palace in the aquatic world has a turtle prime minister.

Occasionally there are chicken divination, cow divination, and pig divination, but that is because the divination talent has been awakened accidentally. Most monsters do not have the ability to divination.

Most of the fish are koi that have mastered the magical power of divination. I didn’t expect that my cousin who was born as a koi fish has also mastered the magic of divination.

Li Zhen repeatedly recalled their first meeting. He remembered the fish's body, which was three feet and two inches long and silvery white, with a red wedding symbol on its head and scales as big as copper coins. It looked like a standard wedding fish.

"Cousin, I'll listen to you. After returning to the East China Sea, I'll go into seclusion to refine treasures. I think there should be no problem."

"It's better to be cautious. Make more preparations and remember to discuss it with your godmother. I think there should be no problem." Yu Shuyang felt that what his cousin said was correct and there shouldn't be any problem.

Even after hearing this, he no longer worried about it. He opened the window and started chanting the "Hu" spell, trying to plant the Spring Breeze Talisman as soon as possible.

Before he could chant the spell for long, the treasure ship left the Danhuang Cave Heaven and flew directly onto the cloud road, watching the cloud spirits and mist spirits floating back and forth.

An idea came to Yu Shuyang's mind. If the earth qi can be turned into silk by gargling, then cloud qi should be no problem, and it can also be cultivated by the method of exhaling.

The mantra of Spring Breeze, gargling air and returning it to the liver, uses the power of the wood element, which is perfect for dealing with the water and earth qi.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but give it a try. After all, the treasure ship was filled with cloud-like Qi, making cultivation very easy. He drew the cloud-like Qi into his nostrils and into his liver. After millions of times of accumulated mantra power, especially the last Earth Qi ritual, the liver's interior had begun to take shape.

Taoist scriptures say: The liver belongs to the wood element in the five elements, is located in the east, is dark green in color, has fourteen acupoints, and the intersection of two cold points is called the Liver Meridian Jueyin.

The inner spirit of the five internal organs is the core of the practice of the Eight Wind Mantra. It gathers the power of the mantra to open the inner scene and condense the spirit of the five internal organs of the physical body.

At this time, Yu Shuyang's spell power was still very shallow, and the Jueyin Palace of the Liver Meridian had not yet taken shape, let alone the Liver Spirit Dongling Qingdi.

He slowly took the crimson Qi and cotton-white Qi into his nostrils, and then into the Jueyin Palace of the Liver Meridian. He gargled with the air and exhaled it through his mouth.

With two experiences of refining Qi into silk, he had become proficient at it. The silk threads he gathered were not at all tangled and were rolled into bundles very neatly.

The crimson and white clouds, when refined into silk, turned out to be peach pink. The color looked bright but not gaudy, and it faintly revealed a watery sheen.

The refined cloud-like Qi silk piled up to half of the room, and Yu Shuyang stopped with a feeling of being unsatisfied. The spring breeze and clear Qi in the mysterious acupoint reached the final stage.

The spring breeze and pure energy in the mysterious cavity shrank into a green gem, smaller than a sesame seed, and it was still shrinking.

When it couldn't shrink any further, it exploded and turned into a ball of green, like raised green dust, obscuring the view of what was inside.

When the dust settled, the talisman was revealed. It was a piece of pure green wood, nine feet long, six inches wide and three inches thick, with an image of a human body with a bird face riding two dragons painted on it.

Yu Shuyang recognized that this was the form of the Spring God Ju Mang, the god of spring, wood, and fertility.

"How did it come together into a divine form? Is this an algorithm or a talisman?" Yu Shuyang couldn't help but laugh at himself. He practiced too many different things.

Now that the Spring Breeze Talisman has been refined, let’s try it today to see what the real power of the Spring Breeze Spell is like.

Yu Shuyang activated the Spring Breeze Talisman, and all the Ren Yang water Qi in the mysterious cavity was put into it, using the talisman method to give birth to the spring breeze.

Chant the "Hu" mantra, inhale once and exhale ten times, as if there is infinite breath in your lungs and the exhalation continues without interruption.

Then a gust of green wind blew out and flew along the cloud path, wrapped in the energy of the clouds. The further it flew, the stronger the green wind became, and the more evil energy it wrapped in.

The wind blew continuously, wave after wave, giving rise to a huge ball of cloud and qi, like a cloud mountain covering the sky.

The mountain of clouds was too heavy and began to slowly fall down. Anything that fell out of the cloud road instantly turned into spring rain and fell.

This spring breeze is different from ordinary rain. It is wrapped in the energy of clouds and mist. When it falls on trees, they bloom; when it falls on grains, they sprout.

At this time in March, the climate is getting warmer, and the vegetation in Wu is lush. A spring breeze blows, and the area instantly becomes full of flowers and green willows.

His skill of calling the wind and observing the energy made it clear that the rain was not only mixed with the energy of clouds and mist, but also had a kind of spring breeze rhythm, which was exactly the Grain Rain in spring.

Guyu is named because it brings forth all kinds of grains.

　The spring breeze is gentle and silent, please vote for me, please cast as many votes as you can.
