The modern world, year 3433.
Several gold smelters controlled by the Lu family are working overtime and can produce 3,000 tons of nano-gold, 10,000 tons of colloidal gold (a suspension of gold atoms, containing deionized water and other substances), and centipede gold every year. Gold, thousands of pure gold, bricks of gold, countless.
The smallest colloidal gold (2-5nm) is orange, the medium-sized colloidal gold (10-20nm) is burgundy, and the larger colloidal gold (30-80nm) is purple-red. Based on this characteristic, the size of gold particles can be roughly estimated by observing the color of colloidal gold with the naked eye.
All these products were collected into special large urns and placed in the underground cave of Yuxu Peak.
Lu Cheng handed over a batch of newly collected immortal formations to his daughter Lu Qingyan for processing.
Lu Qingyan summoned mathematicians and formation masters, including Lu Qiu Sheng and Lu Yunting, and Yang Yunxiao's clone Yang Xiaoyun, to analyze the fairy formation, decompose it into multiple subsystems, input them into the computer, arrange and combine them, establish a fairy formation model library, and then upgrade Yuxu Peak The mountain protection formation.
In this way, the level of the mountain-protecting formation gradually increases, and almost every armor can add a layer of restrictions.
So far, Yuxu Peak's mountain-protecting formation has been upgraded to the 33rd level of restrictions, and it becomes more and more difficult as it goes up.
As the saying goes, a person who travels a hundred miles is half a mile.
This is true whether it is personal cultivation, or elixirs, weapons, talismans, or formations.
It's like playing a game. You level up a few times a day at the beginning, but you can't level up in the next half month.
At this time, Lu Guyan, the director of the Spiritual Fire Research Institute, made a suggestion: "Since the fairy beads can enhance the killing effect of the formation, what about the fairy fire? Can it be added to the formation? It will bring harm to the enemies who break into the formation. harm?"
Lu Qingyan agreed with his proposal and reported the matter to Lu Cheng.
Lu Cheng thought for a while and said: "It seems that I have to get some top-notch fairy fires. If they are ordinary fairy fires, they cannot hurt Daluo Jinxian."
Previously, Lu Chan and Qingmei stayed in the Five Birds Realm for many years and collected nearly a hundred fairy fires. However, the level of the fairy fires was not high, all below the third level.
Fairy fire is similar to fairy beads. There are fire runes hidden in the flames and can hold up to 49 runes.
Some people divide the fairy fire into nine levels, with five talismans in a group. As long as you have one talisman, it is a first-level fairy fire; if you have five talismans, it is considered a second-level fairy fire; if you have ten talismans, it is a third-level fairy fire. Level Immortal Fire... Having 40 magical runes is a ninth-level fairy fire; if it contains more than 40 magical runes and is between 40-49 magical runes, it belongs to the category of divine fire.
Later, Lu Cheng called Lu Guyan and Lu Guze over and asked how far the research on spiritual fire and spiritual water had progressed.
Lu Guyan reported: "Ancestor, I have cultivated three kinds of level 4 fairy fires with the help of the 'beacon tower' engraved with runes and burning spiritual wood to provide spiritual energy. But the level of the beacon tower obtained from the other world is not enough. , there are too few runes engraved on it, so I have designed a new type of beacon tower and it is in the process of being manufactured."
Lu Guze followed: "Ancestor Qi, the situation here is similar. I have cultivated two kinds of fourth-level immortal water."
Lu Cheng said: "The fourth level is not enough. I need the ninth level fairy fire. If there is divine fire, it would be better."
Lu Guyan and Lu Guze looked at each other, shook their heads and sighed: "Ancestor, it is impossible to cultivate the divine fire in the short term. Unless there are better conditions, such as burning high-level immortal wood and promoting the growth of the intermediate-level immortal fire. Fusion. We have neither fairy wood nor enough intermediate fairy fire..."
Lu Cheng said: "These things can all be solved. Let me give you a suggestion. You go to the second-generation ancestor Lu Qingshan. He has made major breakthroughs in nuclear technology and obtained the 'Clutch Divine Light' and 'Ice Soul God'." Light'. I vaguely feel that applying these two kinds of divine light to the research of fairy fire and fairy water may bring about a major breakthrough. Even if the fire talisman cannot be derived, it can still provide energy for the upgrade of fairy fire and fairy water. "
The two young men were overjoyed when they heard this: "Thank you, ancestor, for your advice. We will go find him now."
At this time, Lu Cheng suddenly smiled and said: "Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here, he is here."
After a while, Lu Qingshan walked in from outside.
Lu Cheng said: "You came just in time, these two descendants are just trying to find you."
Lu Qingshan said excitedly: "Dad, in the past two days, my researchers have made new breakthroughs. Not only gold and silver can undergo 'quark transformation', but copper, iron and tin can also. After being activated in a special way, they can release Photons have different attributes, and I named the three light particles the divine light of determination, the divine light of black magnetism, and the divine light of extinction.”
Lu Cheng was speechless when he heard this: "Ah... together they are the five colors of divine light? Why gold, silver, copper, iron and tin? Can't other metals work?"
Lu Qingshan replied: "The institute has made many attempts, but the rest of the metals have failed and cannot be activated under the current conditions. These five metals are the most likely to produce 'quark transformation'."
Lu Guze asked: "Ancestor, I have some doubts in my heart: the hardware store obviously has supplies made of various materials such as metal, plastic, and rubber, as well as wrenches, hammers, pliers and other tools. Why is it called a "hardware store"?"
Lu Cheng replied: "The word hardware first appeared in "Helu Nei Zhuan" in "Wuyue Spring and Autumn Annals": "The hero of hardware is the essence of the sun. "I originally thought that hardware was just the five most common metals. Now it seems that the name of hardware may come from ancient immortals."
Lu Qingshan smiled and said: "I am going to increase investment, hire more researchers, integrate several scattered nuclear physics research institutions in the country, and strengthen the research on these five kinds of 'quark changes' and 'five-color divine light'. Strive for it. Launch mature products as soon as possible to strengthen Yuxufeng’s defensive capabilities.”
At present, several kinds of divine light are still in the experimental stage. To activate hardware and produce "quark changes", extremely large experimental facilities are required, covering an area of tens of kilometers. If it can be miniaturized, not just like a flashlight in one hand, as long as it can be reduced to a hundred meters in diameter, it can be placed on Yuxu Peak and used as a "laser cannon."
In May 3433, Lu Guiban, the 22nd eldest son of the Lu family, and Xue Qingjian got engaged.
Xue Qingjian is not only an expert in the paper industry, but also has profound attainments in calligraphy and painting. One of the paintings she painted, "Chibian Tower", has an inscription: "Pingling on the eight windows of the clouds and birds, overwhelming the forty states of Xichuan. All generals must not be greedy for the Qiang tribe's horses, for there will be side effects at the highest level."
Translated into modern Chinese, it is: "The Chiobian Tower towers into the clouds, and the clear autumn is outside the window. Its majestic and majestic power shocks the forty states in Xichuan. Generals, please don't covet the horses of the Qiang people. From the highest floor of the building, you can see the end of the frontier fortress."
This was originally a Tang poem. Through the description of the spectacular scenery of Chibianlou and the lamentation about the changes of time, it expresses the poet's sincere feelings of caring about the times and worrying about national affairs.
This painting was auctioned by Tianbao Pavilion, but the auction failed. The reason is that the catastrophe is approaching now, which is similar to the crisis faced by western Sichuan back then.
When a catastrophe is approaching, people do not think about making progress or how to cope with the disaster. They only think about surviving alone and how to escape the disaster. Some people try to gain benefits at the critical moment.
The painting was not sold, and was finally taken by Xue Ningdan and hung on the wall of the Tianbao Pavilion auction hall.
Tianbao Pavilion's auctions are conducted simultaneously online and on-site. As long as people watch the auction, they can see the painting. The poems on the painting are vivid in their minds, which is a spur to all monks and important figures.
Jiang Qiuyun accidentally saw the painting on the Internet and was filled with emotion: "This poem was written by Xue Tao, a female poet of the Tang Dynasty. It is similar to Mrs. Huaxin's 'One hundred and forty thousand people all disarmed, and not a single man was a man'."
She asked Xue Ningdan to send the painting to Yuxu Peak.
Xue Ningdan came to see Jiang Qiuyun and said that the author of the calligraphy and painting was Xue Qingjian, the 22nd generation daughter-in-law of the Lu family.
Jiang Qiuyun nodded and said: "
"Nanhua Sutra, Xiangru Fu, Ban Guwen, Ma Qian Shi, Xue Tao's Notes, Youjun Tie, Shaoling Poems, Mojie Paintings, Qu Zi Li Sao" are masterpieces of ancient and modern times. This man entered Taoism in his later years, and his soul is immortal and he entered our land. Home is a good thing.”
Xue Ningdan smiled and said: "The ancestor and the old lady are open-minded and generous, embracing all rivers and flowers, and embracing everything, which makes the younger generation admire them."
Jiang Qiuyun smiled slightly and said: "I think back when Lu Guze and Lu Guyan first met you and Lin Youfu, some people in the family objected and asked their ancestor Lu Cheng for advice. Human marriage.”
"Thank you, Ancestor and Madam." Xue Ningdan is the reincarnated Flower Fairy. Her skills have improved rapidly, and she has already become Nascent Soul ahead of Lu Guze, but she is far behind Jiang Qiuyun.
She faced Jiang Qiuyun with a smile and said: "To be honest, I met Xue Qingjian in her previous life a long time ago, around 780 AD. She was a young lady in her prime, originally from Chang'an. Later she When her father went to Chengdu to be an official, she followed him."
Jiang Qiuyun said: "She is a senior writer. The poem goes like this: "The girl's school is studying by the bridge thousands of miles away, and she lives behind closed doors in the loquat flowers. How much does a talented person know how much he knows, but he never knows how to lead the spring breeze. "Later, she wore a female crown, lived in seclusion, made a living by making notes, and died alone."
Xue Ningdan sighed softly: "In the days when spiritual energy is scarce, life is not easy for everyone." Thinking back to the beginning, she had difficulty absorbing spiritual energy as a peony flower, so she put her soul into her mother's womb, became flesh, and entered the Grand View Garden. But later on, the ending was bleak. After a lifetime of practicing in the human body, he could not make his soul grow even half a point.
Jiang Qiuyun said: "The so-called cultivation is not only the cultivation of the soul and soul, but more importantly, the experience of the mind. The sufferings in life are good opportunities to cultivate oneself, and every setback is a whetstone.
Real immortality cannot be achieved in one lifetime.
There is a passage in "Journey to the West": When the Buddha heard this, he sneered and said: "You are just a monkey turned spirit, how dare you deceive your heart and want to seize the title of Jade Emperor? He has practiced cultivation since he was a child and has gone through a thousand hardships. Seven hundred and fifty kalpas. Each kalpa is worth 129,600 years. How many years should he have before he can enjoy this infinite path? How could you, a beast who was a human in his first life, say such a big thing! You are not the son of man. ! Not a son of man! Your longevity will be ruined! Become a convert as soon as possible and don’t talk nonsense!”
Xue Ningdan took out his mobile phone to calculate and said with a smile: "The Jade Emperor has experienced 1,750 tribulations? Has he lived for more than 200 million years? I wonder if he can survive every tribulation successfully?"
Jiang Qiuyun said: "There should be life and death, and the tribulation will not be smooth every time. Although the physical body is damaged, the soul can be immortal. The higher the skill, the easier it is to reincarnate and rebuild."
When Xue Ningdan heard this, his face changed slightly and he said: "Excuse me, old lady, do you think all the twelve hairpins in Jinling will be immortal?"
Jiang Qiuyun pondered for a moment and said: "The Twelve Hairpins of Jinling, since they were entrusted to Cao Gong in their dreams, no matter they are humans or ghosts, fairies or spirits, they are all immortal souls."
"Cao Xueqin wrote "The Story of the Stone". Is it possible that the stone is real?"
"The fairy tales are not strange no matter how mysterious they are."
"Where is Wuji Cliff in Dahuang Mountain?"
"Perhaps in the world of "The Classic of Mountains and Seas". Only after the integration of heaven and earth will there be a complete world."
"What if Baoyu comes back to life and gets it back?"
"Humph, if the soldiers come to block you, if the water comes and the earth comes to cover you, there is nothing to fear! Countless gods are gathering in the middle-earth. If there are more of them, they will not be too much, and if there are less of them, there will be less!"
