[Daohen name: Heaven and Earth Origin Blood Collection and Refining Method. 】
[Items bearing the traces of the path: the remains of the ancient stele on the invincible road to the Shenzang Realm, the rubbings of the heavenly stele, jade books recording the invincible road to the three realms, bamboo slips, silk books, and the heartbeat of the earth. 】
It's okay to carry ordinary Dao Marks. He had already seen it the last time he extracted the source of heaven and earth, but what the hell is the "heartbeat of the earth"?
After Yu Youquan thought for a while, various speculations emerged in his mind, but after all, he still lacked enough information and dared not make any judgments easily.
In the end, I chose to ask Master and Ancestor. Unexpectedly, Master and Ancestor did not give specific answers.
In fact, different people have different understandings of the heartbeat of the earth, and there are even various legends about it.
On the contrary, the master's wife smiled slightly, took out an ancient clay tablet from the storage bracelet, and said, "This is a clay tablet that Yao obtained from a secret realm. It once recorded the saying of 'the membrane of heaven and earth'."
"Heaven and earth also have their own will. The earth is like a placenta, the sky is like a membrane, and the heaven and earth are like a woman's womb, which gives birth to all things and protects the fetus inside from external interference and infringement."
Contrary to the previous claims that Master's ancestors were derived from various legends and different speculations, Master Yao Jingxin not only took out the ancient clay tablets, but also included some of Yao's and Master's own research.
Perhaps because she felt that this was not authoritative enough, the mistress took them directly to her small library.
It was packed with ancient books of various sizes and sizes.
Yu Youquan immediately realized that when it came to archeology and the study of ancient civilizations, Shi Niang was really her professional counterpart.
After some rummaging, the mistress found several ancient volumes of bamboo slips.
"During the Taishi period of Dayu, there was a man named 'Yi Qiu' in the Laishou Mansion. He was accidentally drawn into an underground river and ended up in a cave."
"Trapped with no way to go to the sky or the earth, he was forced to swallow some nearly dry lava agglomerates in the cave. He didn't expect that he survived with these lava rocks, and his signs of life were very good. "
"Ni Qiu successfully returned to the ground, but found that the outside world had already changed. There was no familiar person in the village where he lived. Only a few people he knew back then were still alive, but they were all gray-haired and aging. If you ask carefully, Only then did I realize that a month had passed."
"Through the narration, everyone learned that after eating lava agglomerates, Nie Qiu often dreamed and could hear sounds like a fetus playing. He didn't know how long it had been and thought he was just trapped for a few months."
"Nieqiu's deeds spread more and more widely, even alarming the local governor and practitioners, and asked him to lead the way to find the location of the lava cave, but the cave was never found again."
Yu Youquan asked some more details, and the mistress answered them one by one, thoughtfully.
Judging from this case, it is basically confirmed that there is such a thing as the "heartbeat of the earth", and it is also very magical.
This enemy is just an ordinary person. He can hear it after being involved in an underground cave. This shows that the location to listen to the heartbeat of the earth is very important and needs to be found.
But obviously, it's not that easy to find.
The prefects and practitioners were dispatched one after another, but no clues were found.
Yu Youquan wrote down the deeds of Qiu, and after confirming that the name of Laishou Mansion had not changed much from ancient to modern times, he planned to look for it when he had time in the future.
Not only was it a matter of revenge, the teacher's wife also found several other cases.
However, it is completely different from the Qiu case, and they are not even close to each other, but it is somewhat inspiring.
for example.
During the Yuankang period of Dayu, there was a man named Fuling. He claimed that he accidentally entered a strange place full of peach blossoms.
Inside, I saw a large number of women wearing ancient-style clothes. They seemed to be worshiping a tomb, which seemed to be an ancient ritual.
As the women in simple clothes sang and danced, Fuling heard a very strange heartbeat, which even made his heart seem to jump out of his chest, scaring him so much that he ran away.
After Fuling told this story, it became a strange story for a while.
Because of Fuling's skill in painting, he painted this "Dream Immortal" deed and named it "Dream Immortal Picture", which was widely circulated.
It even spawned several fairy tales and allusions.
for example.
Fu Ling Meng Xian, Fu Lang's Dream, etc.
Yu Youquan suddenly realized that this was probably similar to A Dream in the South, Paradise in Paradise, and Playing Chess. People in the world are always curious about finding immortals and wonders.
Yao Jingxin: "The so-called 'heartbeat of the earth' is most likely because after the seventy-two refining of the earth evil spirit, you have a deep enough connection with the earth, and your mind can be free and at ease. Only in this way can you hear it through the secret method of induction."
The topic had reached this point, and Master and Patriarch Zheng also gave their own guesses and opinions.
Zheng Xuancheng: "Listening to the heartbeat of the earth may be like listening to the fetal movement of life. Only in this way can we absorb the mystery of the heaven and earth that nurtures life, and smelt the strongest immortal body of gods and demons."
Ancestor Zheng also said, "Each sect has many secret techniques for sensing the heaven and earth. I, the Zheng family, also have some. You can study them. If it is not enough, you may have to find a way to switch to the Supreme Sensing Technique of Jiuxuan Sect." "
Everyone here is very concerned about this matter. After all, this is a major matter related to Yu Youquan's invincibility in the three realms.
As for why Yu Youquan suddenly asked about "the heartbeat of the earth", all three of them tacitly ignored it.
They had already guessed that this should be the secret that Yu Juli had. Since Yu Youquan could tell it in public, it already showed great trust in them.
As old Jianghu people, they naturally reciprocated the favor and would not commit any taboos.
Regarding this point, Old Ancestor Zheng is very open-minded.
As long as Yu Youquan is a direct descendant of the Zheng family, then no matter how powerful or powerful the secret is, it can basically be used by the Zheng family. There is no need to keep it in one's own hands.
This kind of thing is very taboo for practitioners. If it is not handled carefully, it may lead to alienation or even antagonism.
Subsequently, the three of them successively talked about plans for other cultivation contents.
First of all, the earthly evil spirit of the seventy-two refinements can be used closely with Yu Youquan.
However, the types of Earthly Evil Qi that Zheng currently possesses are not complete. Even counting the previous inventory, there are only about thirty-eight types. The rest can only be exchanged with other aristocratic families and cultivating forces.
This matter needs to be planned early!
Since they were about to go to the front line in northern Xinjiang, this matter was left to the master's wife Yao Jingxin to take care of it.
In addition, etiquette cannot be discarded!
The Zheng family can give priority to supplying these earth evil spirits, and even give them a large amount of subsidies, but Yu Youquan must pay treasure money and complete some tasks issued by the family in exchange.
Regarding this point, Patriarch Zheng emphatically explained it.
This system is similar to the secret book of Jiangxiao Tower!
The first and second floors are of a welfare nature. You can get them by doing simple tasks such as cleaning and patrolling and assisting in arresting prisoners. But when you get to the third floor, you have to pay treasure money.
On the fourth floor, while paying the treasure, you also need to complete family tasks.
for example.
Search for some precious swords and offer them to the Juesheng Sword.
Yu Youquan suddenly realized.
I finally understand why in the Sword Tomb, I can see many swords enshrined by the seniors of the Zheng family.
Yu Youquan can understand this. Tao should not be taught lightly. Anything that is too easy to obtain will not be cherished too much.
Yu Youquan expressed his understanding and made clear his correct attitude to support this fine tradition.
Grand Ancestor Zheng, Master Zheng Xuancheng, and Mistress Yao Jingxin suddenly laughed. It was easier to talk to such a person with high awareness.
Speaking of treasure money, Yu Youquan suddenly remembered that he seemed to be able to pass the Yuansou Zhixu trial again.
The last time Yuansou Zhixu passed the fifteenth floor, not only was Zheng rewarded generously, but he also obtained the innate Yi Xuan Light Blade training method in the cabin, but he didn't know what he would get if he passed the fifteenth floor this time.
Yu Youquan mentioned this, and Patriarch Zheng immediately expressed his desire to arrange for him to enter Yuansou Zhixu in the second realm as soon as possible.
They were not only happy, but also very happy to pay for Yu Youquan's treasure.
In this way, Yu Youquan had the best of both worlds, having money to buy spiritual materials without violating Zheng's system.
Ancestor Zheng: "Ju Li will have money after he has conquered Yuansou Zhixu. Then go to the fourth floor of Jiangxiao Tower to exchange for "The Complete Book of Disha", "The Cultivation Method of Disha Dharma", "The Complete Book of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures", and "The Forbidden Book of Disha". These books and secret manuals are all preparations for the path to invincibility in the Three Realms."
"yes."
Yu Youquan was also very excited, as this would officially open a new page in his spiritual practice.
The next step was to talk about adding more responsibilities. Yu Youquan proved with his strength that he was indeed qualified to take on more responsibilities.
This is a great thing!
As the leader of the Zheng family, Zheng Xuancheng is naturally responsible for arranging this matter.
"The first is Ju Li's strength. In the process of facing the enemy head-on, he is almost fearless in any of the three realms. It doesn't make much sense to give Ju Li a protector in ancient times."
"But Gu Li is indeed Ju Li's confidant at the moment. This is how I consider it. I can let Gu Li, the ancestor of Gu Li, take charge of running Shanhe Mansion."
Zheng Xuancheng did not sell out, but directly stated his arrangements for Yu Youquan and Zheng Shibai, the two most promising young people of the Zheng family.
Zheng Shibai went to Tonglin Mansion to take advantage of the wealth of Tonglin Mansion; Yu Juli went to run Shanhe Mansion and win over the people of Shanhe Mansion as much as possible.
Yu Youquan suddenly realized.
This is Zhao Jianzi’s strategy for operating HD and Jinyang!
HD took his wealth, and the people complained about Zhao because of the great tax pressure, which did not win the hearts of the people.
Jinyang's light corvee and low taxes have won the hearts of the people here, and they are grateful to the Zhao family.
Later, the Zhi family came over, and the Zhao family used HD's wealth to fight a protracted war in Jinyang, and finally defeated the Zhi family, establishing a pattern of three families being promoted.
Does the master think that Tonglin Mansion is very likely to be unable to defend it, and as a last resort retreat to Shanhe Mansion to defend it and fight a protracted war?
Strictly speaking, this arrangement gave him some advantages.
For example, if Zheng Shibai takes all the wealth of the Tonglin Mansion, he will bear the infamy, and he will never be able to wash it away.
Yu Youquan immediately said cautiously, "Master, please rest assured, I will not let an outsider interfere with an expert. From now on, I will let him do as little as possible and give the people under his rule as many opportunities as possible to recuperate and recuperate; the second is to strictly arrest corrupt officials." , crack down on all illegal activities to deter Xiao Xiao; third, promote new agricultural tools as much as possible, build water conservancy, and actively build grain storage warehouses."
Yu Youquan successively talked about several major political concepts, the core of which is to increase revenue and reduce expenditure, rectify the atmosphere, and make good material reserves to cope with possible unexpected needs in the future.
The soldiers and horses should go ahead before the food and grass are used. If there is really a war, money and everything are empty. Only having food and soldiers in hand is the kingly way.
Zheng Xuancheng, Zheng Laozu, and Yao Jingxin all laughed when they heard this.
Talking to smart people saves worries. Zheng Xuancheng only mentioned one sentence, and Yu Youquan understood the meaning of their arrangement.
Yao Jingxin chuckled and said, "Ju Li also said that you won't let outsiders interfere with insiders. These are very good. Even insiders can't do it."
The management of Shanhe Mansion is the most important task. Once it is done well, Yu Youquan will be credited with a great contribution.
If the subsequent political achievements are outstanding, such as meeting the requirements in terms of food, grass, money, and people's support, additional merit can be recorded.
Yu Youquan also has his own ideas about running Shanhe Mansion.
for example.
Open an academy, follow Wang Anshi's example in practicing the Sanshe method, and cultivate a group of talents.
When the time comes, he can also become a principal!
It would be best to cultivate a group of talents who can inherit his ideas and contribute more to improving seeds, building water conservancy, and promoting new intensive farming methods.
In this way, other people’s humane merits should also be credited.
Of course, like running Shanhe Mansion, Yu Youquan does not need to be in charge all the time. Gu Gu has arranged it first, and he can basically represent him fully.
If Ruiman and Gu Zhongfan are also placed in important positions, there won't be much of a problem.
After all, Shanhe Mansion is basically included in the Zheng family, and many important official positions are controlled by the Zheng family. As the master's disciple, it is relatively convenient for him to mobilize the power of those officials.
As for the second arrangement, it is an important arrangement in the short term.
Zheng Xuancheng: "Ju Li, the ancestors, elders, and I and others were recruited to serve in Northern Xinjiang, and the capital will be empty. When the time comes, you will be the capital of Zhenyisi first. Guard the capital, protect the Zheng family, and protect the fourth generation. Juniors like Sanying will be left to you!"
"yes."
Yu Youquan was not that interested in taking charge of Yisi.
but.
Since the master has already arranged it, he naturally has to complete it with all his heart.
only
The Zhenyi Division is really weak, or the court’s control is really poor!
At such a critical moment, a wealthy family like the Zheng family can directly send a young apprentice like him to serve as the governor of Zhenyi.
Zheng's arrangement must be similar to that of other major families.
But no matter what, the next period will be a very difficult period.
At this moment, Patriarch Zheng suddenly laughed inappropriately, leaving Yu Youquan confused.
"Ju Li is not young anymore, right?"
"Clam?"
Yu Youquan was a little confused. What did this mean?
Want to urge marriage again?
No, ancestor, you are so old and have such a high status, you still learn to be a matchmaker?
It’s passed!
On the contrary, Master Yao Jingxin was suddenly alert, the alarm sounded, and regardless of her appearance, she stretched out her hand to grab Yu Youquan and said, "Everyone is hungry, let's go, let's show you my hand today, you big men." Don’t say anything else, just wait with your mouth to eat!”
"Ju Li, I don't know much about what you like to eat. Let's go and talk. We will make sure you are happy and satisfied with your meal."
Then, Yu Youquan was led by his mistress by the hand and rushed all the way to Mengyu Tower.
Old Ancestor Zheng was stunned.
Don't say anything and just let him wait with his mouth to eat. It's too much!
As the most virtuous and respected ancestor of the Zheng family, he can't even be a matchmaker?
Zheng Xuancheng was embarrassed and chatty, and for a moment he didn't know how to comfort his ancestor, but deep down in his heart he silently praised his wife.
Well done, well done!
The disciple is too talented and too popular, which is also a trouble!
