When Henghua was thinking hard, Zhou Xiao hurried in.
"I heard you got a big mahogany box?"
Seeing the open wooden box next to Henghua, he quickly picked up a book and checked it.
Henghua's eyes flickered and he put down the book in his hand: "It's just a wooden box, why is Senior Zhou so panicked?"
Zhou Xiao stared at the book for a while, but couldn't see any clues. He just counted the number of books and looked at the Bagua golden lock on the side of the wooden box. His expression was extremely solemn.
Everything is correct, it is indeed this thing!
"The Fu family comes from Fufeng Immortal Palace, don't you know the allusion to the red wooden box?"
Henghua shook his head.
Mahogany box? What does the mother's dowry box really mean?
Zhou Xiao walked around the room, pondering for a long time before speaking: "You also love to read. If I don't give you a foundation, you will inevitably go the wrong way in the future. That's all... do you remember the long-lasting war against evil in China?"
In the Chinese calendar, in addition to the fight between immortals and demons, many evil cultivators who do not tolerate the two realms are also active on the Chinese stage. The Evil Soul Cult is one example.
"Remember. The two families of immortals and demons joined forces to encircle and suppress the evil cultivators in the world. Later, the method of evil cultivators was officially banned."
While speaking, Henghua looked at the book at hand.
"We practicing monks all know that evil magic has not stopped at all. Evil cultivators hide the inheritance in books in advance and scatter it into the mortal world. As a result, smart people often go astray and create evil inheritance. You guys. Yanlong’s Paradise Sect is one example.”
Henghua pretended to be surprised: "Senior, what do you mean, the books in this mahogany box are related to witchcraft?"
"It's more than just about it."
Zhou Xiao smiled bitterly and said: "Before his death, the last evil cultivator told the seniors in the immortal way. In order to pass down the evil arts, he hid 3,600 evil spells in mortal books and sealed them in nine big red wooden boxes."
"Each mahogany box contains eight hundred mortal volumes and four hundred evil spells."
Henghua's heart skipped a beat, four hundred? I just translated three hundred evil spells into my mother's mahogany box, but so many were left out?
"Since there are so many evil arts, why not destroy them early? Are there things in these boxes that cannot be destroyed?"
"good."
Zhou Xiao looked at Henghua approvingly.
"Back then, the evil cultivator hid a heavenly book in nine wooden boxes. Therefore, the immortal immortals did not dare to destroy the mahogany boxes after getting them.
"Eight of the wooden boxes contain fragments of the Book of Heaven, and the ninth box contains the complete Book of the Book of Heaven."
The Book of Heaven, even in the era of China, was an inheritance that everyone rushed to grab.
Throughout the history of Donglai Divine Continent, there have been a total of five heavenly books.
Henghua raised his eyebrows and said, "Baji Book or Hunyuan Golden Seal? It can't be a new Heavenly Book, right?"
The three heavenly books of Taixuan, Taiyin, and Xuanming have traces to follow, creating the two lines of immortals and demons today. And during the "War to Destroy Evil", all the heirs of the three heavenly books were present, so the evil cultivators naturally could not obtain these three heavenly books.
"Nine boxes, don't you already have the answer in your mind?"
""Yitian Baji Shu"." Henghua stared at the mahogany box with eager eyes.
Book of heaven.
Although Henghua was extremely arrogant, he only wanted to create his own heavenly book. But he also knew that it was difficult to create the Heavenly Book, and its significance was far beyond what the Earthly Code and Immortal Jue could compare with.
The Book of Heaven is not just a piece of practice, but an entire system of practice.
The Taixuan Heavenly Book created the Taixuan Sect, which was once very prosperous, and had far-reaching significance for the entire Donglai Immortal Way. It may be an exaggeration to say that all Taoist traditions in the world come from Taixuan. But to say that 70% of the sects came from Taixuan is definitely an understatement. Donglai Immortal Way started with a copy of "Tai Xuan Tian Shu".
Xuan Ming's true strategy, the supreme mental method of the Demon Sect. The Xuanming Demon Emperor unified the Thirteen Demon Palaces with only the fragments and ran rampant on Donglaiwan Island. It wasn't until hundreds of years ago that all the major immortal sects jointly launched an encirclement and suppression campaign, and the Xuanming Demon Palace was completely destroyed.
"Yes, it is the Baji Book. This book determines the foundation of the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams, and covers all phenomena in the world. If you can interpret and understand it, it will be no less useful to people in our generation than the supreme elixir or the pure yang fairy weapon."
Henghua stared at the mahogany box.
The Fu family left notes from their predecessors, which mentioned: "The Book of the Eight Extremes is divided into the Bagua Palace Department, and its lineage of the Xun Gua Wind Department is most compatible with the Fufeng Immortal Technique."
Heng Hua is confident that he can help the Fu family complete the practice method as long as he finds the Xunfeng part of the Baji Book.
Seeing Henghua deep in thought, Zhou Xiao said: "It is precisely because of the importance of this heavenly book. Therefore, those seniors did not dare to destroy it easily even if they knew the taboos of sealing it in the red wooden box."
Henghua remained silent.
Yes, if it were him, he wouldn't destroy the mahogany box directly. Instead, after deciphering and finding the fragments of the Heavenly Book, the mahogany box was destroyed.
"Speaking of which, the evil cultivator deliberately placed the entire volume in a wooden box in an attempt to trigger internal strife within the Immortal Sect?"
"Yes, but there was no fight in the end. The seniors saw through his little thoughts, and after negotiation, the nine strongest immortal sects at the time each took away a mahogany box. Who can get the original copy of "The Book of Eight Extremes" depends entirely on Opportunity.”
"Nine? I remember that during the battle to destroy evil, the eight strongest meridians were 'one sect, one sect, two pavilions and four palaces'. What other sects are there besides this?"
One sect is naturally Taixuan Sect.
One sect refers to Chiyuan Taoist sect, which is second only to Taixuan Sect.
There are two pavilions, Zihuang Pavilion and Yusheng Pavilion.
The fourth house is Fufeng, Yunlie, Leixiao, and Jinyu.
Before the death of the palace master of Fufeng Fairy Palace, Fufeng Fairy Palace could still stand at the top level of Donglai. However, after the death of the palace owner, Fufeng Immortal Palace fell into decline, and there was no longer an immortal in charge. By the time of the Overthrow of the Continent, Fufeng Immortal Palace had almost been reduced to a mid-level Immortal Sect.
"Of course it's Grandma Taiyin. She is the descendant of the Taiyin Book of Heaven, a well-known Immortal in the world. One person is a sect, and Taixuan Sect distributes red wooden boxes, and her share is indispensable."
Henghua grinned: "Taiwan has a single transmission of unified pulse. What does she want from the Baji Heavenly Book? It's of no use to her at all."
Zhou Xiao nodded.
He also asked his master the same question when he was young.
Master Hengyuan said: Grandma Taiyin was one of the five great masters of immortality. Due to emotions and reasons, she cannot be left out.
Zhou Xiao: "The mahogany box in front of me is probably the one inherited from Yunlie Immortal Palace."
"Then what does senior plan to do?"
"What can I do with the opportunity you got?" Zhou Xiao smiled bitterly, "If there is a genuine heavenly book hidden in it, or a copy of Xunfeng. If I force you to destroy it, wouldn't it mean that you and the Fu family are cut off from the opportunity."
Henghua quickly thanked him.
Zhou Xiao sighed quietly.
He can't protect himself now, even if he wants to stop Henghua.
"But you should also be alert. These taboo objects are very dangerous. The wooden box of Taixuanzong caused many monks to go crazy even in the Chinese era."
The evil cultivator once had a forbidden law.
Beings above the golden elixir cannot see the spells he casts and cannot find evil spells. Only disciples under the golden elixir can search for the heavenly book. At the same time, the lower the cultivation level, the better, and mortals are the best.
This purpose is to borrow shells from the immortal sects to lay eggs and lead the disciples of the major immortal sects to fall into evil ways.
Zhou Xiao recalled something and said in a serious tone: "As you read these books, the evil magic hidden in them can also pollute the soul and distort the will."
Suddenly, Henghua asked: "Which one from Taixuan Sect is in Xuanwei Sect?"
"exist--"
Zhou Xiao secretly regretted blurting out his words.
But after thinking about it, he still told him calmly: "That mahogany box is indeed in our Xuanwei Sect. I read books when I was young and translated twenty evil spells."
Henghua said in surprise: "Twenty gates?"
"Of course," Zhou Xiao said proudly, "it is precisely because I have deciphered twenty tabooed magic arts that I am the most numerous in my class. And I have not been contaminated by evil thoughts, so I was valued by my master and accepted as my direct disciple."
So few? Henghua swallowed back the second half of the sentence silently.
Zhou Xiao: "Over the past thousand years, our Xuanwei Sect has deciphered 351 evil spells in total, but we still haven't been able to find the Heavenly Book. When I went to your house to recruit disciples, I'm afraid I was tempted to borrow the 'Heavenly Tong Huixin'" Intend."
He had a bit of guilt on his face about this.
Let young people with shallow spiritual practice read about evil arts. The higher their understanding, the more likely they are to be corrupted by evil.
Henghua's eyes were calm, as if what he was talking about was not him at all.
Zhou Xiao: "The reason why your seniors blocked it, my senior brother secretly speculated that your family may have kept the mahogany box inherited from Fufeng Immortal Palace. After all, the disciples of the Fu family who were in Fufeng Immortal Palace were the ones who managed the Scripture Depository Pavilion."
The Fu family inherited the mahogany box from Fufeng Immortal Palace?
No, that's not right, the mahogany box in Langhuan Pavilion was not handed down from ancestors at all, but was brought by my mother when she married into Panlong Island.
Henghua secretly wondered: Is there another one in the Fu family besides his mother's mahogany box? So which sect does this mother's inheritance come from?
Taixuanzong is impossible.
After the Chiyuan Taoist sect overthrew the continent, they disliked the shattering of Shenzhou. The spiritual veins were cut off, and the entire sect moved overseas, leaving not a single disciple behind. The mahogany box must have been taken away as well.
The two Pavilions of Purple Emperor and Jade Saint are still there, and they are powerful. One is the head of Tianyang and the other is the head of Xuan Yu. If my mother is involved with that side, the Fu family will not know about it. Moreover, how could a mahogany box be brought out as a dowry if it was such a taboo?
After much thought, Henghua set his sights on Golden Rain Immortal Palace and Lei Xiao Immortal Palace.
"Senior, you are well-informed. Do you know the whereabouts of Golden Rain Immortal Palace and Lei Xiao Immortal Palace?"
When Zhou Xiao heard this, he immediately became happy.
"How many more mahogany boxes do you plan to collect? Indeed, the inheritance of Jade Saint and Zi Huang is still there. The one from Chiyuan was taken overseas. The one from Grandma Taiyin is sealed in Taiyin Mansion. Only the mahogany boxes of Jin Yu and Lei Xiao are left outside. However, the inheritance of these two immortal sects was destroyed when the continent was overthrown, and there are no successors to this day."
Zhou Xiao sighed and said: "Fufeng Immortal Palace is the shrewd one among the four major immortal palaces. After it is destroyed, the major families can still be left to guard one place..."
Thinking of something, Zhou Xiao forced to hold back his words.
"In short, stop looking for it. You can study the thing in front of you with peace of mind. Remember not to read too much or study evil arts."
Zhou Xiao is also an acting monk. They are aware of the temptations of the Heavenly Book inheritance and the Four Hundred Evil Dharma to people like them.
He couldn't stop Henghua, he could only ask him to be careful to avoid falling into evil ways.
Zhou Xiao didn't stay long and left quickly.
After he left, Henghua was about to study the mahogany box when Li Nanxing came.
He looked quite nervous. After thinking for a long time, he finally came up with his idea: "Teacher, do you want to start a sect?"

Supplementary entry:
"Short Stories of China's Past - Four Palaces":
An immortal came across the East China Sea and established Fufeng Immortal Palace. The four immortal palaces of Fufeng, Yunlie, Leixiao and Jinyu are famous far and wide in Shenzhou. Those who have good things will rank the four houses and determine the ranking of Donglai Gold List.
Entering the Fufeng Palace, the palace master said politely: "We are immortals who have their own specialties. I am not a fighting immortal. I dare not fight with the three palace masters. I will not obey my orders."
When I saw Palace Master Yunlie again, he said, "Do practitioners care about false fame?" He also refused to follow his advice.
When they arrived at Lei Xiao Immortal Palace, the palace master greeted him with a smile and happily agreed.
Seven days later, Lei invited the Lord of the Third Palace to a banquet.
At the banquet, Lei said: "The four palaces combine the elements of thunder, cloud, wind, and rain. If they are combined into one, they can compete with other sects for supremacy. This is the palace of heaven. I am worthy of being the master of the palace."
The Lords of the three palaces refused.
Immortal Hou Leixiao fought with the Lord of the Jinyu Palace and won with a thousand moves, forcing the Lord of the Palace to follow him.
Then he fought against the clouds, and there was no winner for three days and three nights.
Lei wanted to fight again, but Yun waved his sleeves and stopped the feast and left.
He fought with Fengxian again, but Fengxian left a note and left.
Lei Guanzhi did not dare to fight anymore, and the merger of the four palaces was over.
The viewer asked his mentor afterwards, and his mentor smiled and said: "Yunxian is as humble as a valley, indifferent to fame and fortune. Although he can win, he treats each other with courtesy. Fengxian is modest and incompetent in fighting, but Heluo's skills are unique in Shenzhou, and he has broken through all the ways of Leixiao. Law. If you sort them, thunder is three and rain is four, that’s okay.”
Then he asked: "Which comes first, wind or clouds?"
The teacher replied: "I haven't seen the dispute, so I dare not say anything."
Ask again: "In a fight with Lei, what is the outcome?"
The master replied: "The wind can defeat the thunder with three hundred moves, and the cloud can defeat the thunder with five hundred moves. The rain can defeat the thunder after one thousand one hundred and twenty five moves."
Finally, he asked: "How will I win or lose in my fight with you?"
The teacher said nothing and threw him thousands of miles away.
The good person then decided on the order of the four palaces, with Fufeng as the most respected, Yunlie as the second, Leixiao as the third, and Jinyu as the last.
