Chapter 18: Sending Envoys to Tang Dynasty
One day, Yun Canghai was discussing magic with Jian Zhen. Although training is fundamental, the ability to skillfully use skills and experience in adapting to changes are also important. During a battle, if both parties have similar skills and are at the same level, then the key to victory or defeat is whether they can seize the loopholes in the opponent's moves and seize the opportunity. And expand the advantage step by step, and finally seal the victory.
The two of them were fighting in the mood. Suddenly, a young monk came outside and asked Jianzhen for instructions: "I have seen the abbot. Several Japanese came outside, claiming to be the envoys sent by Japan to the Tang Dynasty. They wanted to see him." The world-famous Master Jianzhen, Master Zhiyong, sent a young monk to ask the abbot if he would receive them?"
"Japanese? Send an envoy to the Tang Dynasty?" Jianzhen and Yun Canghai looked at each other, somewhat confused about each other's intentions. What did these foreigners mean by visiting Jianzhen? Did you just come to see Jianzhen after hearing about his reputation, or do you have other intentions?
Jianzhen was a little confused, so he simply didn't think about it. He would wait a while and act according to the opportunity. The soldiers would stop him and the water would cover him up. That was it. I bet they didn't dare to cause trouble in Dayun Temple, so he replied: "Go back and report to Zhiyong. I will be there soon." Come." Xiao Shani followed the order and left.
Yun Canghai watched from the side, his mind moved slightly, and he vaguely felt that this matter had a lot to do with Jianzhen, and even himself. It seemed to be related to the future achievements of the two of them. You know, cultivators have absorbed the essence of heaven and earth for many years, so Occasionally, one can sense heavenly secrets. As long as one is not invaded by inner demons, confused, or exhausted, the sense of one's own body is usually correct.
He did not dare to neglect, and with a solemn expression he took out a few copper coins with a simple style and a mysterious color from his arms and a palm-sized coin. The surface was covered with gold threads, and the back part had natural lines. There seemed to be brilliance flowing in it. In the middle, it is faintly transformed into the innate Bagua diagram on the clothes, and the tortoise shell exudes an aura of obscurity and confusion.
When Jianzhen saw it, he exclaimed: "The First Emperor's Five Baht Coin! The golden silk Hunyuan innate tortoise shell! Brother Yun, do you even have such treasures?" Coins from all over the world or metals that circulate instead of ores are mixed, smelted and cast. Because they contain a lot of precious ores, and because changing dynasties, unifying the country, and unifying the currency are great merits, they contain a little spiritual energy and merit. And it has a long history. During this period, it has gone through the burning of books, the change of dynasties, and the killings and conquests. It has been passed down to this day and has become extremely sensitive to the aura of killings and disasters. It is the top method for divination of good and bad luck, blessings and misfortunes. magic weapon;
The Golden Thread Hunyuan Innate Tortoise Shell is even more incredible. This object was formed very early. It is an innate spirit tortoise from the ancient prehistoric period. After surviving for countless years, it developed spiritual wisdom and relied on its innate advantages to communicate with the mysterious way of heaven. Communicating, and experiencing the vicissitudes of the world, the innate Bagua images naturally appear on the back armor, which is extremely magical and has endless uses. It is especially effective in divination of good and bad luck and calculation of heavenly secrets. It can also be refined and used as a magic weapon for defense, trapping people and sealing'
According to legend, there are only two pieces left in the world: one is the giant chaotic turtle found in the ancient times when Nuwa was mending the sky. After cutting off its limbs and using them as pillars to support the sky, Nuwa threw the body casually in Luzhou, Beiju. , hundreds of millions of years have passed, and the place has become a barbaric land, and the innate tortoise shell left by this giant tortoise is buried deep inside, and no one has the chance to obtain it yet;
The second one was left behind by the Goddess of Turtle Spirit, a direct disciple of Lord Tongtian who was captured by the Taoist Taoist from the West during the Battle of the Gods in ancient times and was later killed by a strange monster mosquito. The Holy Mother Turtle Spirit was also an innate spirit tortoise. She attained Taoism during the reign of the Emperor. Later, she was accepted as a sect by one of the three pure saints, the Shangqing Taoist Master Tongtian. After tens of thousands of years, her cultivation level was extremely high. The innate talent she left behind The turtle shell is also a top-quality magic weapon, not inferior to the innate spiritual treasure. However, since the death of the Turtle Spirit Mother, this object has disappeared and has never appeared in the world.
Here, we should first explain what an innate spiritual treasure is and why it is so precious?
The so-called innate spiritual treasures refer to innate spiritual treasures that are conceived in chaos, have not been contaminated by the pure and turbid air after the creation of the sky, contain the essence of chaos, the laws of the great road, and have great power or extremely miraculous effects. Moreover, innate spiritual treasures Because the treasure contains the essence of chaos and the law of the great road, as long as it is refined, it can form an infinite space inside the magic weapon, integrating storage, trapping, and living into one. It is like a small world and can also be used to entrust the soul. Thoughts, formation of incarnations, and understanding of the way of heaven are all powers that only innate spiritual treasures possess;
And those magic weapons that are taken from rare materials and refining equipment and refined with formations, real fire, and talismans the day after tomorrow, no matter how powerful they are and how miraculous their effects are, they can only become acquired magic weapons because they are not from innateness, but from the innate. Formed through acquired means.
The preciousness of innate spiritual treasures is evident, and what Yun Canghai is holding is definitely not the two legendary tortoise shells that are comparable to innate spiritual treasures. So where did this one come from?
No wonder Jianzhen was surprised, you know how precious a magic weapon of this level is! Even those ancient golden immortals and prehistoric gods may not all have them. Yun Canghai, with a mere cultivation level that has not been able to ascend, is able to harbor gold. This is no different than a three-year-old child harboring gold. If anyone knows, it will definitely cause The consequences of fighting for it are very serious. This matter is closely related, so we have to be aware of the truth and not guard against it.
But Yun Canghai smiled "Haha!" and said: "Brother, you overestimate me. I don't have that ability. This is not the legendary golden-threaded Hunyuan innate tortoise shell, but the one I made in Yunmeng when I was traveling. I found a piece of Xuanwu Slough Armor deep in Daze. After I got it, I used my "Five Transformation Dragon Art" true energy to warm it up day and night, plus some dragon secrets and weapon refining methods to greatly improve its efficacy, and it transformed into this. Yes, I call it 'Tian Yan Jia', which means the tortoise shell of deducing the secrets of heaven."
Jianzhen was relieved after hearing this. Although this Xuanwu Slough Armor is also a rare treasure in the world, and after being trained as a magic weapon, its power is not inferior to the Conferred God Treasure, but it is far less eye-catching than the innate spiritual treasure.
I saw Yun Canghai grab the initial emperor's five-baht coin, put it into the palm of his hands, put his palms together and recited a spell silently, and then shouted "唔!" He spit out a stream of natal energy from his mouth and sprayed it on the "Tian Yan Jia". Immediately a ball of golden light rose up and floated in the air. Yun Canghai then threw it with both hands. Six Shihuang five-baht coins fell into the inside of the turtle shell along the front of the Tianyan Armor. Yun Canghai then pinched out He made mysterious handprints one after another, controlling the Tianyan Armor to rotate "tickly" in mid-air. A quarter of an hour later, the golden light dissipated, and the Tianyan Armor fell back to the ground, spitting out six Shihuang five-baht coins in sequence, six The First Emperor's five-baht coin circled in the air, landed on the back of the Tianyan Armor, and started spinning along the innate Bagua texture on the tortoise shell. At this time, Yun Canghai made the last handprint and shouted "Stop!" The emperor's five-baht coin immediately stopped spinning, and a hexagram was arranged on the Tianyanjia,
Yun Canghai carefully read the hexagrams, picked up the Dharma Jue, and took back the First Emperor's five-baht coin and Tianyanjia. He closed his eyes, counted with his fingers for a while, then opened his eyes and smiled at Jianzhen: "Congratulations, Xian My brother, this time Japan sent an envoy from the Tang Dynasty to visit you, it will be of great benefit to you in the future. It is related to the great merits and virtues I told you before, which is a very lucky thing! You must take it seriously and don't miss the opportunity."
Jianzhen's brows jumped and he asked: "What is the specific matter? Brother Yun, can you tell me?" Yun Canghai shook his head and said: "The secret must not be leaked. All you need to know is that this matter is risky but not dangerous, but it has great benefits. Waiting for you, so you have to make those Japanese people truly awe and admire you, so that you can proceed smoothly."
Jianzhen has known Yun Canghai for many years and has always trusted him, and now is no exception, so he smiled and said: "It seems that I will have to use some real skills soon?"
Yun Canghai replied: "Of course, otherwise others will be unconvinced."
The two looked at each other and laughed.
