Chapter 104 Acting
Time is tight and Yin Yang Dao still has to go out and perform, so the process of dividing the spoils is kept simple.
Donghuang Taiyi took the pair of jade ambers and the Taibai Star, and handed them to Zhao Wumian together, saying solemnly: "The Yin-Yang Sect encountered a great disaster this time. If it weren't for Jingyuan Bo's help, we would have suffered heavy casualties! Please accept this pair of jade ambers and Yanjia, Jingyuan Bo."
Zhao Wumian looked at the golden and majestic Yanjia and said in surprise: "Master, are you not going to restore the Yan technique?"
Donghuang Taiyi sighed: "I am lucky to know that, but I am dead to lose it."
As he spoke, his eyes glanced at the star on the ground that was broken into two pieces.
Zhao Wumian understood, and at a loss whether to laugh or cry, he secretly cursed the old wily man.
He gave Yu Hu and Tai Bai Xing as gifts. In addition to expressing his gratitude, he was also taking a step backward to advance.
At this moment, Lin Xianrong is dead, and the two Yanjias [Yinghuo] and [Chonghua] have self-exploded. In Donghuang Taiyi's opinion, with the box still there, the "Lu Ban Book" is basically useless. Now the only one that can be used is [Chenxing] which is broken into two pieces on the ground and [Yuhu] which is on the verge of being scrapped.
Yu Hu only sealed up the power of his primordial spirit, but he had no skills, and now it was damaged so badly that it could be said that if he wanted to restore the Yan technique, he could only hope that the Yan Jia [Chen Xing] could still function normally.
This is the only way to restore Yanshu and study the "Demon Seeding Technique".
Chenxing is different from Taibaixing.
The former is a burning fire, and the latter is a pile of dead ashes. It is naturally very difficult to revive the dead ashes, but if you just want to add fuel to the fire and keep it going, the Yin-Yang Dao has plenty of ways to do it.
Apart from anything else, the "Xuanling Yuntai Method" of the Seven Spirit Sect can nourish the "soul seed" planted in the spirit core.
With such a living armor, future research will be faster.
It is even possible to reversely deduce the "Demon Seed Technique" through the internal "soul seed"!
Every profession has its specialties. When it comes to studying techniques, Yin-Yang Taoism is second to none, and no one in the world dares to claim to be first.
But Onmyoji was too embarrassed to ask for permission, even if it was just to request research, and they were embarrassed to share the results afterwards.
This time there was a traitor in the Yin-Yang Sect. No matter what conspiracy or trick it was, they could not avoid a mistake of negligence when Lin Xianrong was doing this. Zhao Wumian was very kind, and if he had not persuaded them several times, the consequences for the Yin-Yang Sect would be unpredictable.
Logically speaking, they are not eligible to share the spoils, and at most they can be considered to be "making up for their mistakes."
Therefore, Donghuang Taiyi took a step back to advance and gave up the things voluntarily. After that, he put in all his efforts in acting to help the court capture the general of the Northern Yuan Dynasty. He was so humble just to keep Chenxing.
Yanjia is so important to warlocks!
Zhao Wumian asked, "Master, do you want to start with this star on the ground?"
Donghuang Taiyi sighed, "I have been the headmaster for 23 years and have experienced many ups and downs, but this is the first time I feel so embarrassed to talk about it. I promise that if I am lucky enough to recover the Gongshu family's secret technique of making Yanjia, "The Secret of Planting Demons", I will share it with the court immediately. I just hope that you can give us a chance to deduce it."
The likes of "Sun and Moon Shine Together" only have the possibility of "planting souls" in theory, and whether they can be used is still unclear. Naturally, they are not as good as "Planting Demons" which has the same origin as Yanshu.
Zhao Wumian was naturally happy.
He is confident that he can unlock Gongshu's treasure box. If he gets Taibai Star, that would be great. He will also be more motivated to practice the "Demon Planting Technique". As long as he practices to the third level of "Soul Planting" and lights up the spirit core, it will be like having an extra fourth-level fighter!
Furthermore, Nairbuhua was a general of the Northern Yuan Dynasty and one of the culprits behind several invasions to the south and killings and looting on the border defenders.
If the Yin-Yang Taoist cooperates in the drama, tricks Nair Buhua into entering the pass, and assists the court in capturing this man, it will also be a great achievement. With this merit, Chenxing can be left for research, and the results can be reported to the court. The court will not only show favor, but also make a profit.
Why not?
After all, those people in the Ministry of Industry had a hard time even making mechanical beasts, let alone Yanjia.
It took hundreds of years for one person in Gongshujia to master the "Making Magic Techniques", so Yanjia is destined not to be something that can be popularized!
only……
Zhao Wumian recalled Lin Xianrong's actions before detonating the explosives, and always felt that something was wrong.
That woman was a lunatic. Was her curse a swear word or...
Zhao Wumian frowned.
They still knew too little about "The Magic Seed Technique" and didn't know what it was capable of.
"It seems that we have to unlock this treasure box first and get the Lu Ban Book to see if there is anything unusual."
Zhao Wumian made up his mind and said to Donghuang Taiyi: "I will need your cooperation for the rest of the matter. As for Chenxing, I cannot make the decision on my own. I have to report it to the general. I believe he will agree. After all, in terms of studying the art, no one in the world can match Yin Yang Dao. Even if I bring it back to the imperial treasury, I am afraid it will end up like Gongshu Yi and the Yanjia."
Donghuang Taiyi and Yueshen both breathed a sigh of relief and said at the same time: "Thank you!" "You're welcome, both of you."
Zhao Wumian said, "It's almost time, let's go out. We have to trouble the two supreme elders to come out of retreat."
Dong Huang Taiyi nodded, put the two pieces of Yanjia on the ground into the Qiankun bag, and said, "Master will agree."
Zhao Wumian did not forget Fang Rui. There were some rare materials in Lin Xianrong's Qiankun bag, including the two yellow crystals given by the White Lotus Sect, and part of the inheritance of the Gongshu family - two top-grade Xuan-level weapons, and a bottle of healing elixir [Tianwang Pill] that could cure all poisons and treat internal and external injuries. But Fang Rui did not want it and said it was just a small favor.
Zhao Wumian thought about the four ministers of the Pacification Bureau, who were at the Dharma Image Realm, and probably would not think highly of these things, so he did not say much.
Everyone left the forbidden area.
Zhao Wumian and Fang Rui did not return to the camp directly, but quietly retreated and watched the battle in the mountains.
As expected, the two sides soon "started fighting", with the two supreme elders of Yin Yang Dao ambushing and killing Xu Da as the opening move, and then a melee began. Two thousand Yanyue Guards formed a formation and fought against the elders and true disciples. The battlefield quickly became a mess, with all kinds of magic lights dazzling, and gradually, "corpses" fell to the ground.
Shugu Mountain is only a hundred miles away from Gubeikou.
Feng Sheng will get the news quickly and take action quickly. Similarly, Mobei must also hurry.
Xu Da was injured, the Yanyue Guards were severely damaged, and Feng Sheng was absent from his post. It was a good time to break through the pass and enter Peking to plunder!
So when the battle began and Xu Da was "seriously injured", the show was almost over, and both sides began to retreat in an orderly manner. The White Lotus Sect and the Mobei spies had been waiting for this moment as planned. Seeing Xu Da retreating seriously injured and the Yanyue Guards suffering heavy losses, they were overjoyed and immediately sent pigeons to send a message to the outside of the pass.
Zhao Wumian and the other man then returned to the team and acted as matchmakers between Donghuang Taiyi and Xu Da.
Zhao Wumian told Xu Da what had happened before.
Xu Da had no objection to the ownership of Chenxing, and it was not left in vain. Yin-Yang Taoism was originally a holy land of magic. Professional matters should be left to professionals, and the court would be happy to enjoy the results. It was a good thing!
Donghuang Taiyi got the answer he wanted and immediately returned the favor by saying that he would present the [Juxian Pill] to celebrate the emperor and empress’ birthdays on this year’s Wanshou Festival and Qianqiu Festival.
[Juxian Pill] is considered a top-grade elixir in Yin-Yang Taoism, with the ability to cure diseases and prolong life. It can be said that a huge amount of money was invested in it.
Xu Da expressed his satisfaction.
Donghuang Taiyi did not suffer any loss either. He returned to the Yin-Yang Dao and ordered people to rebuild the secret realm while ordering the mechanical master to repair Chenxing.
Xu Da handed over the Great God of Destiny, and Zhao Wumian told him the location of Guo Zhongwen.
Now that Lin Xianrong is dead and the person pulling the strings is gone, all the light and dark puppets have regained their freedom, and Guo Zhongwen should be able to wake up soon.
The matter of Yin-Yang Taoism was settled for the time being, and the army began to move north to meet up with Feng Sheng's troops, waiting for an opportunity to counterattack Nairbuhua and try to capture him in one fell swoop!
Zhao Wumian seized the opportunity, rode on his horse, and began to study the treasure box.
"No, we have to hurry."
Zhao Wumian looked at the treasure box, feeling uneasy in his heart, and the scene of Lin Xianrong's self-explosion kept flashing through his mind.
His intuition told him that there was something fishy going on, but he just didn't know what it was. This feeling of the unknown made him feel uneasy.
We must open the treasure box as soon as possible and take a look at "Lu Ban Book"!
Zhao Wumian began to study the pattern above: "From the surface, it seems to be the same as the [Nine Palaces Pulling Machine Lock], secretly matching the Three Wonders and Six Instruments, the Eight Gates and Nine Stars, and a single move can affect the entire body, but there are eighteen groups of Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches on the outermost edge, mixed with numbers. It seems that only by matching the numbers on the outer circle first can the inner circle formation be restored... Judging from the wear and tear of the roulette wheel, the four outermost circles are unchanged, so the secret code is here, the numbers are, three, eleven, thirteen, twenty-nine... I see, so the next ones are thirty-one, fifty-five, fifty-seven, eighty-nine, ninety-one, one hundred and thirty-one..."
Zhao Wumian calculated quickly, turning as he calculated, and his hands remained steady while riding.
Beside him, Bao Buyi and Chen Xuanli protected him to prevent others from interfering.
Zhu Di looked back from time to time in front, wondering what this kid was doing.
suddenly.
There was a clicking sound.
The eighteen groups of Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches in the outermost circle are restored, and the inner circle [Nine Palaces Pulling Machine Lock] is activated.
Zhao Wumian had unlocked this kind of lock in the underground palace of Shenxiu Lake in Langya Mountain. Once activated, the thirteen dials in the inner circle would rotate at different speeds by themselves. It could only be opened when all the formations were restored at a specific time. The amount of calculation involved was extremely huge, but now he was familiar with it and quickly got it right. As the mechanism bounced, the treasure box deformed, and the top lid opened, revealing the secret book inside.
There are three seal characters written on the cover in a dragon-like and phoenix-like style. It is the famous "Lu Ban Book"!
Zhao Wumian was not surprised. He picked up the book and flipped through it quickly: "I want to see what secrets are hidden in this book..."
