The Zhao family's Qibao Chamber of Commerce occupies eleven large islands. Although the area is not as large as the three continents of Whale Sea, there are actually many gold mines on these islands, as well as a lot of silver ore and iron ore, and the copper ore reserves are even more amazing.
The islands are not too far apart. The sea water is shallow and clear, and there are coral reefs all over. It is a good place to raise aquatic beasts. The clusters of spiritual beasts will nourish the coral reefs and form excellent casting materials.
The Zhao family's "Afterimage Gengjin Sword Qi" is a famous swordsmanship secret in the East China Sea. It also contains the means to refine one hundred and thirteen kinds of flying swords. It just happens to be mined and refined according to local conditions.
During the most prosperous period of the Qibao Chamber of Commerce, 70% of the sword-like instruments in the East China Sea were produced by the Zhao family.
Today is the day when the eldest son of the Sima family and the legitimate daughter of the Zhao family get married. There is a big wedding banquet held at the Sima family. There are also many visitors here at the Zhao family. Over the island, golden sword lights come and go, making it very lively.
Sima Qi was wearing a red robe today, riding on a snow-white sea-scaled horse, leading the Sima family's wedding team across the sea.
Wherever this team passed, flower petals flew and fell into the sea. The powder on the petals was the fragrant bait specially used to feed the Sima family's spiritual beast koi. Therefore, wherever the flowers fell, countless koi carp under the water followed. Where to.
These carp were originally fish that lived in the inland freshwater of the three continents of the Whale Sea. Although they had spiritual energy and were different from ordinary creatures, they still felt quite uncomfortable after being lured into the sea by the scent of these petals.
So while they are chasing pollen, they often jump out of the water in groups. Their red scales and golden tails are like streaks of rainbow, rising and falling behind this group, which is really beautiful.
The guests were filled with admiration and came forward to congratulate.
Sima Qi casually bowed his hands on the horse and walked straight to Zhao Dongqing's courtyard.
The Zhao family's aunt quickly came out to talk, but she saw him get off his horse and walk into the courtyard with a flick of his sleeves.
"Hey, hey, Mr. Sima, why are you so eager and against the rules?"
"I'm just here to break this rule."
Sima Qi nonchalantly stretched out his hand to open the door and stepped in.
Sure enough, Zhao Dongqing hadn't covered her head yet and was sitting there with a cold expression.
"Oh, madam, you still look like this on your big day. It's too disrespectful to your husband."
Sima Qi chuckled and said, "However, I like how you look different from others."
"When we, the children of the Chamber of Commerce, were playing together, we all knew about dignity, abided by the rules, and knew how fun it was to fight. Only you, you never cared about our rules."
"Today I deliberately broke some rules on my wedding day, and I feel really good both physically and mentally."
Zhao Dongqing ignored him, but there was a slight clicking sound in his hand.
"What, are you angry now?"
Sima Qi's smile became even brighter, "Madam, it seems that I haven't done anything yet."
He stepped forward step by step, "Tell me, if I kill you right here, how will you, the Zhao family, react if someone finds out?"
Click!
The thing in Zhao Dongqing's hand seemed to be crushed to pieces.
Zhao's aunt was lingering outside the door, but did not come in. Sima Qi's entourage greeted her twice, and the footsteps outside the door immediately moved away completely.
"snort."
The smile on Sima Qi's face suddenly dropped, "I can tell you that even if you Zhao family members see it, you won't say a word more."
"In the past, you had the Taiyin Immortal Order and your father's confidant. Both ancestors of the Zhao family liked you. But now, Zhao Ping from your second uncle's family has been adopted by your father, and he has legitimately taken your Taiyin Immortal Order. Order to participate in the trial."
"Now, in the eyes of the Zhao family, you only have the value of a marriage. You can only continue to live a noble life by pleasing me."
There was no smile on his face. He bent down slightly, exuding a strong sense of oppression, and softly whispered, "Do you understand?"
Of course, he didn't really want to seize Zhao Dongqing's Yuan Yin here. After all, today is the big day for the Chamber of Commerce to form an alliance. If he does such a thing, if he leaves an impression that he is not calm enough in the mind of the family ancestor, then the gain will outweigh the loss. .
Moreover, in addition to physical oppression, he also wanted to completely tame this woman.
He had thought about this kind of thing for too long.
The snow lotus on the cliff is most beautiful when crushed into pieces, and the koi in the pond is most beautiful when its scales are cut open. This woman who seemed to have ignored them since childhood aroused his cruel thoughts more and more.
Today is the first step to tame her.
Click!
Zhao Dongqing opened his palm and pinched out a piece of walnut kernel from the broken walnut. When it stuck to the tip of his tongue, he dropped it into his mouth and chewed it slowly.
Sima Qi frowned and stared at her as she finished the walnut.
After eating all the food, Zhao Dongqing patted the crumbs on his hands, stretched out his little finger to pick out his ears, and popped out a piece of cotton, wondering: "What did you just say?"
Her expression was cold, her eyes were innocent and pure, and her doubts were just right, as if the breeze was blowing on the lake in the snow-capped mountains.
It was almost impossible to believe that that mere ball of cotton could really block Sima Qi's voice.
"you!"
Sima Qi suddenly straightened up, spread his magic power, blew up his robe, and caused a strong wind in the room.
Zhao Dongqing calmly smoothed the messed up hair on her temples and said, "Thank you, the wedding dress is very complicated, and I am indeed feeling a little stuffy."
"Do you really think I don't dare?"
Sima Qi laughed angrily and said, "That wild girl Lin Yuzhi was just as annoying as you back then. What happened to her in the end? You are now..."
"stop."
Zhao Dongqing stopped him, "You don't understand what I'm afraid of, and how can you threaten me? Please stop talking nonsense, I'm already very tired."
Sima Qi was so angry at her appearance that the veins on his forehead throbbed.
Zhao Dongqing was indeed not afraid of anything in the past, but that was because she had the Taiyin Immortal Order. A person who might become a disciple of the Taiyin Immortal could certainly not be afraid of anything.
But now, she doesn't have it anymore.
Without the Taiyin Immortal Order and the support of the Zhao family's Earth Immortal, why wouldn't she be afraid?
Zhao Dongqing sighed and showed a strange look in his eyes, as if he had read through Sima Qi's thoughts.
"Then I'll be here..."
"Then I'll be here..."
Sima Qi was suddenly stunned.
"What did you say?" "What did you say?"
The two voices almost overlapped, but the girl's voice was a little earlier than Sima Qi's.
Sima Qi suddenly felt uneasy.
Zhao Dongqing looked at his palm print: "Your next sentence is, how do you know what I want to say?"
"How do you know what I'm going to say?"
Cold sweat appeared on Sima Qi's forehead, "Impossible, your magic power has been blocked. Even if it is not blocked, you are still not in the realm of Sanxian. I am stronger than you, how can you pry into my mind."
"I was originally planning to take advantage of today to get on the sedan chair and leave by myself, but you are too annoying..."
Zhao Dongqing didn't answer the question, and thought for a moment, "I'll kill you and then leave!"
Sima Qi seemed to have heard a huge joke: "Although I don't know what kind of magic you practice, you still want to kill me?!"
"The difference between a loose immortal and a loose immortal is beyond your imagination. Besides, I still have my ancestor's earthly immortal power hidden in my body."
He raised his hands and said, "I'll let you see my Xuanshui Divine Thunder!"
The black water around Sima Qi was like a line, and thunder was about to explode.
Zhao Dongqing raised his finger and pushed gently.
The back of Sima Qi's head and back exploded, and a bloody and complete skeleton was ejected from his back.
Looking from the front, the skin is still intact, but the bones are no longer in the body.
There was still magic flowing in the skin, and although it had no bones, it still stood upright and majestic.
The skeleton struggled twice in horror, then stumbled and fell to its knees.
"My mana is indeed sealed, but your mana is my mana. Will your ancestor's magical power prevent your own mana from running?"
Zhao Dongqing walked over, his face a little ugly.
She didn't expect that her actions would look like this.
I feel like vomiting, but this bastard actually used the fact that they killed Yuzhi to show off. I have to hold on and not show weakness.
Zhao Dongqing looked at the skeleton coldly until the skeleton lay down completely.
But when Sima Qi died, a jade pendant on his body also cracked, and a violent roar suddenly came from outside.
"Master!!!"
When Xiao Fangshu and Lin Yuzhi arrived near the Qibao Chamber of Commerce, they saw chaos on the island.
Thousands of sword energy danced in the sky, the guests dispersed, and the Sima family fought fiercely. Black Guishui divine thunder blasted out, and they rushed out of the mansion in groups, destroying large tracts of mountains and forests.
Just to chase down a delicate figure.
The man was dressed in wedding clothes and seemed to have no magic power at all, but no matter whether it was sword energy or divine thunder, once he got to her side, he was immediately controlled by her and counterattacked.
Her body was as ordinary as ordinary people, but she stepped on the sword energy shot by the enemy that was faster than the sound of thunder, as if she was walking on the already laid steps and left the island.
However, Xiao Fangshu also felt that the girl in wedding clothes was already very weak.
"Dongqing!"
Lin Yuzhi suddenly jumped from the air.
Zhao Dongqing raised his head in surprise, his face was as pale as paper, and his eyes suddenly turned red.
"wait!"
She panicked, because in the moment of delay, many swords, energy, and thunder were already chasing her like a torrential rain.
Lin Yuzhi landed in front of her and pulled on her outer robe.
The overwhelming sword energy fell on the robe, causing only a few ripples, and the divine thunder exploded on it, causing only slight ripples.
Zhao Dongqing suddenly felt her eyebrows jump, and a little blue light flew out from her eyebrows and landed on the robe.
Immediately, the robes flew up and expanded, and all the sword energy and thunderballs were shot back, causing roars and screams.
Under the protection of this robe, Lin Yuzhi hugged her friend and said, "Dong Qing, long time no see."
Zhao Dongqing hugged her back, her eyes flushed, and then she looked at the dress: "This is it?"
"This was given to me by my master."
Zhao Dongqing thought of the token that he failed to give away and was robbed by others, and suddenly felt that he was not so worried anymore.
"You have a master now..."
Xiao Fangshu looked at the two little girls crying and laughing below, and smiled lightly as he stepped across the waves.
The sword energy and the fragrance of flowers cover the whole island.
………………
"The Heavenly Book of Taoism is the source of Taoism in the world. So far, from the Heavenly Book of Taoism, there are more than 100,000 kinds of Qi Refiner's methods, more than 3,000 kinds of Sanxian-level methods, and more than 100 kinds of Earth Immortal-level methods. .
Over the past two thousand years, there have been immortal-level exercises that have left their names in the world. There are about forty kinds. Most of them have been inherited by a sect, and there are also short-lived ones.
There are also more than ten kinds of emperor-level heavenly skills treasure books.
Legend has it that Cangri Celestial Master once said that the skills practiced by Taiyin Immortal were even higher than the emperor-level scriptures.
However, the Heavenly Book of Taoism and Dharma has been hidden in the world, and the seven great immortals in the world have never found it. "
"...Eight hundred years ago, Cangri Heavenly Master achieved the realm of immortals and refined the Heavenly Book of Mountains and Seas. It is said that in this Heavenly Book, there are the true shapes and images of strange mountains and giant peaks, and great rivers and rivers, which contain profound truths.
However, at that time, Taizu Guo of the Great Zhou Dynasty, at the peak of the earthly immortal realm, studied the Heavenly Book of Mountains and Seas for seven days and seven nights. He gained very little, and he was born young. This shows that the principles in the Heavenly Book of Mountains and Seas cannot be understood by people below the level of immortals. "
"...In the Heavenly Book of Incense, there are three hundred and sixty-five categories of divine decrees and divine talismans, mountains, rivers, lakes and seas, cities and lands, moving clouds and rain, gods traveling day and night, judges of good and evil, etc.
When the three volumes of the Heavenly Book first appeared, it was difficult to practice immortal magic. Even though one had supernatural powers, it was difficult to live forever. Therefore, most of the practitioners at that time also practiced the way of incense, in order to enshrine the ghosts in the gods and live forever.
Later, in the Immortal Way, loose immortals and earthly immortals emerged one after another, with vast supernatural powers, bravery and diligence. Immortals and gods were in dispute, and countless heroes took advantage of the situation and caused great chaos.
This great chaos started thousands of years ago and lasted for more than a hundred years until the Heavenly Master Cangri cast the Dali Bell in Luofu Mountain. When the bell was rung, all the nine states were shocked and advised the immortals and gods to reclaim the wild places in the world.
The Heavenly Master took the lead to go out of the South China Sea, carved mountains into houses and mountains into boats, took in tens of millions of refugees, and crossed the sea. All the immortals followed suit, and the world was at peace for a while.
Unexpectedly, 800 years ago, Demon Lord Changsi achieved the realm of heavenly immortals and mastered the Heavenly Book of Incense. Most of the gods in the world were possessed by demons, and there were all kinds of turmoil..."
In this book, more than 70% of the content is about the "Book of Taoism". It mainly introduces the well-known exercises in the world, when did they first appear, and whose hands made them famous.
Basically, you can find a brief inheritance line in this book for the techniques of suppressing the sects of the sixteen cave heavens and blessed places in this world.
Another 20% of the content is related to the incense book, and introduces some famous figures among the incense gods in those days.
As for the relevant part of the Book of Mountains and Seas, it is the shortest. It only mentions that when the Book of Mountains and Seas first traveled around the world, every time it stayed in a place for a long time, the mountains and rivers of that place would change, and then it recorded some of the famous places that were born as a result. Mountain.
Guan Luoyang finished flipping through the book and was silent for a while.
He remembered what he had heard about the five-volume heavenly book in Jukuzhou in the Chiming world of Taiqing.
A group of immortals from that world, while traveling around the universe, discovered a planet that had a profound inheritance of immortality. However, the immortality on that planet happened to be in a period of decline, so the group of immortals tried to extract various imprints of that world and form five volumes. The Book of Heaven is for your own understanding.
However, as soon as they shaped the Heavenly Book, they were suppressed by the ancient Immortal Queen left deep in the planet. All five volumes of the Heavenly Book were lost in the void, two volumes fell back to Jukuzhou, and three volumes disappeared in the turbulent flow of the void.
It is very possible that the three volumes of the Heavenly Book of this world drifted over from that world.
"but……"
Guan Luoyang read the introduction about the Taoist Heavenly Book again, and took a deep breath, "I haven't seen the two volumes of Mountains and Seas and Incense, so forget it."
"But how good and capable are the calamities and latitudes and latitudes, and how can they be as famous as this heavenly book of Taoism?"
He has the original version of the "Book of Longitude and Latitude" in his hand. This book basically records the changes in the magnetism of heaven and earth in history. Although it is very profound, it is not very practical for people below the level of immortals.
Anyway, until now, he hasn't been able to see any complete and practical magical powers from that book.
Moreover, according to the appraisal of Master Yuding, Jingwei Tianshu has two identities: "seven-star magic weapon" and "seven-star enlightenment". No matter how you calculate it, it does not exceed the seven-star value range.
As for this Taoist Heavenly Book, even if nothing else is included, there are forty kinds of immortal-level exercises recorded in it. Not to mention that you can unpack forty seven-star skill secret books!
It's outrageous.
But when I think about it, it's normal.
If there were only five seven-star magic weapons, it would not be worth the risk taken by the group of immortals in Jukuzhou. Only a treasure trove as big as the Taoist Book could allow them to put aside their old grudges and disputes, bring all their knowledge, and work together. Go deep into the starry sky.
After Guan Luoyang complained, he calmed down.
No matter how valuable the Heavenly Book of Taoism is, since the two immortals in this world who have refined the Heavenly Book have not been able to find it, Guan Luoyang will naturally have little hope if he goes to look for it now.
Focusing on the present is the right path. After he put down the book, he directly released his psychic powers and raided the library.
In this library, the carriers of books are also very unique. The oldest ones are mostly bamboo slips and silk. Later, paper books and magneto-optical crystals began to be included. The latest ones are already paper, magneto-optical crystals and magic crystals. When reading jade slips, three carriers coexist.
Paper is the most stable and mediocre in all aspects. At most, some dust-proof and moisture-proof charms can be added to paper books.
The advantage of magneto-optical crystal is that it has a three-dimensional image and can be attached with dynamic images, but it is more likely to be disturbed by the powerful mana and cause confusion.
The threshold for Shen Nian Jade Slips is high, and at least one must be a loose immortal to receive the information. However, the confidentiality is also the best. It is used to record secrets involving clan skills, family blood relations, contact with bandits, etc.
Even with Guan Luoyang's ability, it took a while to browse through all these things in the library.
By the time he felt something in his mind and walked out of the library, the two closest groups, the Six Gates of the Great Zhou Dynasty in Central Earth and the Punishment Hall of Donghuang Tiance Mansion, had already arrived at the Three Continents of the Whale Sea to pay tribute to him.
