Yamafu Military Affairs

Chapter 181 Lesson

Tianwu, an eight-headed god with eight legs and eight tails, a human face and a tiger body.

Gonggong is the flood god with a human face, red hair, a snake body and human hands.

The Yellow River water god, Bingyi, has a human body with a fish tail, silver hair and colorful scales.

Yuqiang, the god of the North Sea, has a human face and a bird body, with green ears and red feet.

There is also the golden dragon Yinglong, which is obviously larger than the four gods and has wings on its back.

The five statues formed a pentagon-like pattern, with the eight-headed god at the highest point, towering above the other four gods.

The faces of the statues were blurred. After hovering at Tianwu's feet for a while, they rose up under the leadership of the golden dragon, overthrew Tianwu, and fought each other.

"Gonggong is the most popular of the countless water gods. He Bo Bingyi controls the four Yellow Rivers and gave birth to countless people. Yujiang, the winter god and grandson of the Yellow Emperor, commands the North Sea. And Yinglong, the spiritual totem of the entire Chinese nation. Whether from the perspective of popularity, belief, or antiquity, it is difficult for Tianwu to suppress these inheritances at the same time."

Zhan Yuejin looked at Qin Huai and the other two who were confused, waved his hand, and dense small characters filled most of the space.

"You are all newcomers who have been in Yanfu for a short time. You must have many questions about inheritance. But it doesn't matter. These are some experiences I have summarized. You can learn about them."

Qin Huai looked up and saw that the colorful words were full of precious information that was difficult for the outside world to find.

"Reasonable Inference on the Yamabu Tradition, Author: Zhan Yuejin"

As a kind of spiritual culture, myths and legends have been constantly integrated and developed in the long course of history, and often form a set of gods with the greatest influence and obvious tributaries (such as ancient Greek mythology and Norse mythology).

However, as one of the four ancient civilizations and the only one with an uninterrupted heritage, the situation is different in China.

Compared with the mythological beliefs of other countries, China has a long-standing unique ancestral belief and Confucian cultural system, which greatly restricts the development of mythological beliefs.

During the Tang, Song and Yuan dynasties, the numerous strange stories and folk shamanism brought the already slow progress of theological construction to a standstill. Later, the half-understood and far-fetched theories in the Ming and Qing documents were even less meaningful for reference.

To sum up, China's mythology system is huge, complex, and severely fragmented, with many records and legends that cannot be studied in detail.

Through the study of the 5,217 traditions and 2,482 trials recorded in the Yamabu, I have come to the following conclusions:
The difficulty of trials of different inheritances is mainly influenced by several aspects such as status, degree of spread, degree of faith, and antiquity.

1. Status. Status is the basis of inheritance strength and is also the main consideration for Yanfu to give trials of different difficulty levels.

Example: The earliest gods worshipped by Taoism are the three celestial officials of heaven, earth and water.

The belief in the Three Officials flourished during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, and its traces still remained during the Tang and Song Dynasties, but it became lukewarm after the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

The status of the Three Emperors is between their highest peak (the highest god in the Wei and Jin dynasties) and their lowest point (the gods worshipped in heaven during the Ming and Qing dynasties).

Note: Except for the gods who have never appeared in the world of Yama due to their high status (Buddha, Jade Emperor, Pangu, Nuwa, etc.), most of the other traditions are in good accordance with this rule.

2. Degree of spread. Degree of spread is the possibility of change in inheritance, and it is also the root cause of inheritance having multiple different derivative images.

Example: tapir, and its derivative image, the dream-eating tapir.

The tapir has an elephant trunk, rhino eyes, an ox tail, and tiger feet. Its shape can ward off evil spirits. It lives in the southern valley and eats iron and copper, and nothing else.

As an iron-eating beast used by ancient Chinese to ward off disasters and exorcise evil spirits, there is no record of tapirs and dreams in relevant documents such as "Mo Ping Zan" and "Zi Bu Yu".

The derivative image of the tapir, the dream-eating tapir, mostly comes from the content of Japanese novels and stories translated by literati in the Republic of China.

The third representative of Yan Zhaohui, Tapir, did not awaken the related abilities similar to those inherited from the ancient books, but instead gained the dream ability of the derived image of the Dream-Eating Tapir. (The authority is similar to that of Birch)
Related examples include Nüba and Taotie.
Note: From the Five Emperors to the Republic of China, countless inherited images have evolved with the evolution of folk customs.

3. Faith: Faith is the key to increasing the inheritance limit, and is also the reason why the strength of inheritance changes. (Questionable)

Examples: God of Wealth, Guan Yu, the Emperor of War.

Among all the gods of wealth worshipped by the Chinese people, Guan Gong, the God of Wealth, is the most influential and the one worshipped in the widest area.

Thousands of years of historical evolution have not only transformed Guan Yu's image from a historical figure into a deity in the minds of ordinary people, but also made him worshipped as a Taoist deity and a Buddhist guardian general.

With the flourishing incense and belief recognition over the years, Guan Yu, who originally had the potential of only seven palaces as a human immortal, has transformed and become Guan Sheng Emperor, the God of Wealth and War, who has the potential of a divine immortal.

Related examples include Mazu and Guanyin Bodhisattva.
Note: It is simply impossible for Yanfu Xingxing to achieve the effect of inheritance transformation by increasing the inheritance faith in the three thousand fruits.

4. Antiquity. Heritage is not powerful because it is ancient, but it is ancient because it is powerful.

The earlier a tradition appears and the more complete the relevant records are, the more powerful it tends to be.

Examples: The founder of Taoism, the founder of the military school, the master of all schools of thought, and Lu Shang.

"Then according to you, it would be better for the Divine Court to have Yinglong as the leader?"

Qin Huai pursed his lips and looked at Zhan Yuejin.

"That's not the case. Come and see."

Zhan Yuejin shook his head, and his index finger emitted a little light, and several animal shadows appeared in the air.

"The four inheritances of Tianwu, Gonggong, Bingyi, and Yuqiang are the five spiritual immortals, while Yinglong is the five stubborn insects. Not to mention that four immortals and one insect cannot form a divine court at all, the subtle influence of the four different five immortal inheritances on the walking is enough to turn any walking monk into a madman.

The most ideal configuration for building a divine court is two immortals and three insects. The two immortals restrain each other and maintain a balance, while the three insects stabilize the body and soul and lay a solid foundation.

Only in this way can one walk in one's true form without being overloaded and go further on the path to the Divine Court."

Listening to Zhan Yuejin's incisive analysis, Qin Huai couldn't help but admire the Tenth Master's profound knowledge. He was about to ask if there was a suitable inheritance when he heard the Master change the subject and disperse the colorful light and shadow.

"However, many of the inheritances of the Great Wilderness Four Seas God System have already had high-ranking deputies, so it is almost impossible to squeeze in a reasonable God Court. Take the inheritance that just appeared, for example. There is no news about the parts of Gonggong and Bingyi. The current Yinglong deputation is also one of the top six officials, so there is no hope of inheriting the parts. In the end, only Yujiang has the hope of getting it in a short time.

Therefore, I do not recommend that you take such a risky path. "

Wu Shan scratched his head, looking a little unwilling. Mei Xueyan didn't show any expression, just thinking she was listening to a story.

"The greater the risk, the greater the reward. For you, the Lord, to be obsessed with this, the effect of this divine palace must be quite special, right?"

"It is indeed very special, but the benefits are not actually that high. You should all know the inherited exclusive [Agency] that the Seven Palace Agents possess, right?

Those who walk the Divine Court Road walk in a similar way, but the difference is that they can use two or even more [Proxy Abilities]. "

Zhan Yuejin was not arrogant and answered Qin Huai's question casually.

Wouldn't that mean the combat power would be several times greater?
Qin Huai's eyes lit up and he started to make plans in his mind.

"Unfortunately, no matter how many [Agent Abilities] one has, they can only be icing on the cake when they reach the Five Directions Elders, and they are of no great use. Currently, every one of the Ten Lords who has been promoted to the Five Directions Elders, without exception, is an agent of a single inheritance."

Zhan Yuejin shrugged and took off the thimble-like bronze ring.

"This ring is a treasure refining work I made in my early years. If you are interested in the Divine Court, you can obtain it by completing the Yamabu incident."

【Zhenjun Wuso】

Quality: Special

Type: jewelry

characteristic:
[Suixing Wood Virtue] (It makes the quality of a certain inheritance of the wearer greatly improved, which is equivalent to evolving it into the inheritance of the Yanfu: "Eastern Suixing Wood Virtue True Lord", but it will erase all the original secret enhancements of wood attributes. When the five virtues are evolved and blessed on the same inheritance, additional characteristics can be obtained)
[Mars Fire Virtue] (It makes the quality of a certain inheritance of the wearer greatly improved, which is equivalent to evolving it into the inheritance of the Yanfu: "Southern Mars Fire Virtue True Lord", but it will erase all the original fire attribute secret enhancements. The five virtues evolutions are bestowed on the same inheritance, and can gain additional characteristics)
【Taibai Jinde】: ...

[Chenxing Water Virtue]: ... [Zhenxing Earth Virtue]: ...

Additional Features:
[True Lord Five Soaps] All things in the heaven and earth fall into the five virtues, and anything that belongs to the five virtues can be subdued.

The above characteristics are only valid for wearers below the seventh palace.

The actual effect of Zhenjun Wuzao is related to the compatibility of the object it strengthens, and the higher the compatibility, the greater the possibility of backlash.

Note: This is the elaborate work of the host Zhan Yuejin in his early years when he was pursuing the power of the Divine Court. He obtained some incomplete power of the Divine Court by taking an alternative path.

coming!

Qin Huai's eyes narrowed, and he knew that the highlight was about to begin.

There is no free lunch in the world.

It is not difficult to guess what the master of this rank is willing to spend so much time and energy lecturing to three low-level walkers, and what they are talking about are core knowledge that even the Seven Palaces' agents may not understand.

Wu Shan and Mei Xueyan were not stupid people. After a little thought, they understood Zhan Yuejin's plan.

"Teacher Zhan, I want to try this Yanfu incident."

The one who spoke was the drunkard Wushan. At this time, he had summoned the phantom of inheritance. The cat general with five large flags behind him was staring at the bronze ring with eagerness.

Zhan Yuejin nodded without comment and glanced at the cold and aloof sister who remained silent.

"Xueyan is not interested?"

"I'm going to Nanyu with my sister soon. I don't have enough time. I'm afraid I'll let the teacher down."

"It's okay. The Luan Bird is also a very good inheritance. Go ahead."

As soon as he finished speaking, a colorful divine light floated out from the bronze ring and landed on General Cat's head.

Looking at the increasingly heroic General Cat, Wu Shan grinned, thanked Zhan Yuejin, and left the office with Mei Xueyan.

Qin Huai also wanted to say goodbye, but before he stood up, he heard Zhan Yuejin mention it casually.

"I heard that you've been looking for a wishing stone recently? Have you found anything?"

"Not yet. Maybe the price I offered is not enough."

Qin Huai smiled bitterly and took out the [True Lord's Essays] with some embarrassment.

“The stuff is pretty good, but it’s hard for people who want it to afford it.”

Zhan Yuejin took a quick look and made a similar judgment to Wan'an.

"I'll buy it if I exchange it for Yamabu points, but people are short of wishing stones, so your stuff is useless no matter how good it is."

However, it was Pang Chunhao who rarely spoke and mentioned Qin Huai.

Zhan Yuejin drank a sip of cooled water and took out a white jade ornament from the drawer.

【Zhongli Huang】

Yama Token
Can open an additional Yamabu event.

You can also choose to offer sacrifices before the Yamabu event. After the sacrifice, this Yamabu event will greatly enhance the identity of the walking descent and greatly increase the probability of triggering additional Yamabu events.

"I can exchange it with a wishing stone, but you have to promise me three things."

Looking at Qin Huai's solemn expression, Zhan Yuejin smiled kindly: "Don't worry, it's up to you whether you do these three things or not. I'm just giving you three choices. It doesn't matter even if you don't do any of them."

"Master Jie, if everything you ask is within the old man's rules, then I have no problem with it."

Zhan Yuejin frowned slightly, but still handed [Zhongli Huang] forward.

"Of course, no one dares to disobey his rules."

After passing through Yanfu Gongzheng, a [Wishing Stone] with a sparkling and dreamy luster appeared in Qin Huai's hand.

After taking the "True Lord's Essays", Zhan Yuejin handed it to Pang Chunhao, leaned back in his chair, and started talking about business.

"The first thing I want you to do is to use this token to perform a Yamabu event."

A crystal clear red flake flashed out from mid-air and was grabbed by Qin Huai with his quick eyes and hands.

【Eyes of the Seraph】

Category: Yamafu Token

Can start a specific Yamabu event.

You can also offer it to elevate your status at any of the Jambu events you enter.

Note: This fruit is dangerous for low-level walkers, but danger often comes with opportunity, and a gifted walker may be able to gain an unexpected transformation from it.

Qin Huai stroked the red lens that felt cool to the touch, and felt as if he was being controlled by the two Ten Lords.

After thinking for a while, he looked up at Zhan Yuejin and asked for details.

"Master, do you want me to get something?"

"It's not that complicated. Just improve your evaluation and make the most of your talents."

Zhan Yuejin waved his hand, signaling Qin Huai not to think too much.

"Thank you for your help, Master Jie. I will do my best."

Qin Huai bowed deeply, then pushed the door and left.

After a while, Pang Chunhao put away [True Lord Essays] and looked at the bones that had just been broken by Qin Huai, his voice a little muffled.

"He is my next junior fellow apprentice?"

"What do you think of him?"

Zhan Yuejin asked back.

"It's boring. He's even worse than that drunkard in terms of temper."
