If you don't give up, I'd like to be your adoptive father.

Chapter 264: Gift from Prince Fu
“All roads lead to Xianyang.”

Thinking of the numerous ghosts and gods in the Xisha region who were canonized by the Qin Dynasty, Xiao Yu began to understand how the Qin Dynasty managed such a vast territory.

In the real world, if the Qin Emperor was given a world map, the Qin Empire would only collapse faster. Information transmission and processing, military mobilization and deployment were too slow due to the limitations of the productivity level at that time.

This mythical world gives the emperor a world map. It seems that he doesn't need anyone to give it to him, as the ancient emperors like to drive around in racing cars.

As early as in ancient times, Emperor Huangdi surveyed the world and drew the "Kunyu Map of All Nations".

Taoist Qingsong even holds a geomancy map of dragon veins and land veins throughout the world.

The Human Emperor does not need a world map.

If he only needed to live longer, he would have reached the Tongtian River in the west.

Well, Xiaoyu didn't know that Renhuangzheng's ambitions were far more than Tongtian River. He originally planned to lead the Qin soldiers to attack the Western Lingshan Mountain and make the Buddha a submissive subject of the Qin. He might even ask the Buddha to perform corvée labor and build the Great Wall.
"Your Highness Prince Fu, it only takes you two days to go to Prince Yiqiu's blessed land, which is not too long. But if you really become Madam Bazi's gardener, wouldn't you have to stay away from your blessed land for a long time? Will this have no impact on you and the blessed land?" Xiao Yu asked doubtfully.

Prince Fu said with a smile: "I am not following the path of the 'Black Mountain Old Demon', and I have no deep entanglement with the Fu Palace, so why can't I stay away from my own blessed land?

The blessed land is equivalent to my fiefdom. I need the "output" of the fiefdom, but I can also be like the princes in the world of the living, away from the fiefdom, and go to the capital to serve the monarch."

"What should we do if foreign enemies invade the Fuwang Palace? If we don't enter Guaizi Mountain to suppress ghosts this time, the Eight Ghost Kings' daily march of ten thousand ghosts in Tianmen Town will definitely affect the Fuwang Palace, right?" Xiaoyu asked.

Prince Fu laughed dryly and said, “I’m not afraid of you laughing at me. I went to work as a gardener at Madam Bazi’s house to avoid disaster.

When I was alive, I didn't practice any advanced martial arts.

After I die and enter the blessed land, I will still be the 'King of Blessing'. If a powerful enemy invades, I will be unable to stop him.

When Tianmen Town was still there, I could still use the identity of "Li Family Ancestor" to ask for external assistance from the human immortals and the City God.

If even Tianmen Town falls, I will have no choice but to flee from the Fuwang Palace."

Xiao Yu's mouth twitched, "Even if you want to escape, why not go to the blessed land of other Li family princes in Western Shu?"

Prince Fu said helplessly: "Even if they are all members of the Li family, the generation gap is too great. They didn't know each other when they were alive, or they even hated each other when they were alive. It's better to reincarnate in the underworld after death to live under someone else's roof."

"You can still be reincarnated?" Xiao Yu asked in surprise, "Even if your life span has not yet ended, why are Lord Kui and Madam Bazi still in the blessed land ten thousand years ago?"

Prince Fu laughed and said, "Fairy Yu, you are a smart person but you are talking nonsense! What is a blessed land?
If you can’t enjoy the blessings of the underworld, what kind of blessed land is it?
Since you can enjoy happiness, why go through reincarnation and suffer?

I was already the 'King of Fu' in my lifetime. How much merit do I need to have in order to have a better birth than the 'King of Fu of Western Shu' in my next life?

I know myself well. I have enjoyed a life of happiness while I was alive. Although I have not committed any major sins and have almost no good deeds, it is better for me to stay in this blessed land and enjoy my life.

Being a ghost is happier than being a human, so we will just try our best to avoid the underworld and hide in a blessed land to enjoy the bliss until the end of time.

Since being a ghost is more miserable than being a human, one naturally has to go to the underworld to seek a good destination.

If not for this, wouldn't our Prince Fu's Palace be packed with descendants of the Li family?
In fact, they only came to stay with me for a few days at most, and no one stayed for long.

It would be better to be reincarnated than to stay here and eat for free and be looked down upon.

I became a gardener instead of reincarnating because being a gardener for Madam Bazi is more enjoyable than reincarnating. "

After a pause, he showed a longing look on his face, "Perhaps it would be happier than being the king in the Fuwang Palace, otherwise our Lord Kui would not have left his own blessed land so early and stayed in the Yiqiu King's blessed land and never came back.

Alas, we in Western Shu are a foreign country after all, and are not as rich as China!"

She couldn't refute his previous words, but she wanted to complain about the next sentence: Lord Kui is Mi Bazi's biological son, and in King Yiqiu's blessed land, he can at least be considered half a master.

How can a small gardener like you enjoy the happiness of half a master?

"Why doesn't Lord Kui just go back to the Emperor's paradise in Great Qin?" she asked in confusion.

——Could it be that Duke Kui is actually the illegitimate son of King Yiqiu and Mi Bazi?
"What's going on? Lord Kui married into our Li family and changed his surname to 'Li' a long time ago. Moreover, as the 'Ancestor Dragon' of Western Shu, unlike the idle 'Prince Fu' like me, Lord Kui's energy is connected to the dragon veins of Western Shu. Leaving the Xisha region is already the limit for him. He wants to return to Daqin... unless one day, Western Shu is transformed from a vassal state into a county of Daqin." Prince Fu sighed.

After he finished speaking, he suddenly felt that the conversation was too deep, so he stood up and said, "Fairy Yu, it's getting late. The dinner at Qinghe Villa is about to begin. I'll take you there."

Xiao Yu did not move, and smiled, "Your Highness Prince Fu, I will not go to the dinner party. I still want to ask you for advice on the way of ghost cultivation."

She took off the jade bone bell, summoned the dog, and said, "Xiao Qiang helped me a lot in the previous battle with the River God's Palace. When we enter Guaizi Mountain tomorrow, maybe I can try to use the dog treasure to absorb the negative energy of the Eight Kings Heavenly Palace's earth veins."

Prince Fu sat back on the chair and asked, "If the dog treasure is refined into a small piece of blessed land, can it be brought back to the human world?"

Xiao Yu hesitated and said, "It was fine before, but now that it has become a blessed land, it seems to have changed a bit. In addition to the weight increasing by more than 20 kilograms, I feel like it wants to fall to the ground and merge into the earth veins."

Falling to the ground and merging into the earth's veins was actually what Xiaoqiang felt.

Goubao is Xiaoqiang’s ghost body. It is very aware of its body’s instinctive desires, but it cannot explain the reasons.

Prince Fu borrowed the dog treasure to observe and feel it for a moment, then he said in deep thought: "The chaotic Yin energy has completely merged into the dog treasure, greatly increasing its 'weight', but it is not a blessed land.

At least not yet.

A blessed land is not just a piece of shady land. A blessed land is where the essence of heaven and the vital energy of earth converge.

For example, my Fuwang Palace, without the clear water river in front and the millions of lives nourished by the Tianmen Town next to it, it would be just a barren mountain.

If you bury the dog treasure in a Feng Shui treasure place, it should naturally evolve into a blessed land.

Carrying it with you all the time will cause it to be separated from the earth veins and cannot be transformed into a true blessed land."

Xiao Yu's heart moved, and he said: "Your Highness said earlier that the Fire Cloud Cave is connected to the Eighteen Layers of Hell, and it reaches beyond the Thirty-three Heavens.

My dog ​​treasure is definitely not as good as a piece of dirt in the Fire Cloud Cave. But the existence of the Fire Cloud Cave at least shows that the blessed land does not have to be buried underground."

Prince Fu shook his head and said, "Huoyun Cave is like a giant, his head is out of the thirty-three heavens, and his feet are still buried in the ground, but your dog treasure has his feet off the ground."

Xiao Yu was not discouraged when hearing this. Instead, she suddenly had an idea: "The dog treasure is on me, and my feet are connected to the earth!"

Prince Fu was stunned for a moment, and said, "You mean, you act as a medium to allow the dog treasure and the earth vein to complete the circulation of 'qi'? Is this possible? Can you bear the earth vein's qi?"

Kunpeng's wisdom was running fast in Xiaoyu's mind.

Countless sparks of inspiration flashed and crackled like fairy wand fireworks in the dark night.

"I certainly can't intervene between the dog treasure and the earth as an independent individual. I have to refine the dog treasure first, become the master of the magic weapon, and then use it to bear the negative energy of the earth veins.

On the surface, the Yin Qi of the earth veins is passing through my body, but in fact, it is still it that bears everything. "

Prince Fu did not have Kunpeng's wisdom, and his talent for cultivation was also very poor, so he was completely unable to respond to her words.

Can neither give suggestions nor find errors or omissions.

He frowned and thought for a moment, but got nothing. He could only helplessly say: "Miss Yu, I really can't do anything, but I have a few ghost cultivation secret books here. If you don't mind, you can take them for reference."

He didn't have to go back to the palace to get the secret book in person. As the master of the blessed land and himself inside the blessed land, he flipped his right hand and several books and three jade tablets appeared on the table.

When Xiaoyu saw the four big words on the book for the first time, they looked familiar, but she didn’t recognize any of them.

It is neither the small seal script and Qin Li script commonly seen in daily life, nor the cloud seal script commonly used in immortal martial arts secret books.

The jade token gave her a familiar feeling.

"Your Highness, what font is this?" Xiaoyu opened the first book. The text inside was in the same font as the cover.

Prince Fu smiled and said, "This is the Taoist 'Jade Book and Golden Book', and the book is a handwritten copy."

After a pause, he sincerely suggested: "Fairy Yu, since you have the ambition to seek immortality and learn Taoism, you must study the common Taoist fonts!"

Xiao Yu was a little embarrassed, and also felt a little sad: In this world, it is too difficult for independent cultivators without a systematic inheritance.

"Your Highness, what are the common Taoist fonts?" she asked humbly.

Prince Fu thought for a moment and said, "I have average talent and have only mastered sixteen Taoist scripts. In addition to the most common Yunzhuan, there are also 'Text', 'Character', 'Eight Styles and Six Scripts', and 'Imperial Text'."

Xiaoyu's scalp tingled. She had never heard of what he said.

But King Fu clearly stated that this is the most common "Taoist font".

Prince Fu also described the scenes corresponding to each font.

There are certain rules for writing on brocade, carving on stone, carving in the sun, or writing in the shade, as well as what the words want to record. It is not a one-size-fits-all approach.

After describing the sixteen common fonts, Prince Fu pointed to three jade tablets and said, "It takes time to study Taoist fonts. You can look at Lingyu first.

The characters in the spiritual jade have both spirit and form. You are born with wisdom and should be able to skip the form and directly comprehend its spirit."

"Spiritual jade." Xiao Yu thought of Dou Gengyan and the red carp jade pendant that she had hidden in the crevice of the Xiaojingxuan pond.

"The spiritual jade contains a trace of earth and stone spiritual energy. The spiritual energy can nourish the spirit and can also be used to store thoughts. The spiritual thoughts that record the secret records of Taoism are stored in the spiritual jade, which is also called the 'jade tube'. If you stick it on your forehead, you will feel the connection with your heart." Prince Fu explained.

Xiaoyu picked up a piece of spiritual jade and put it on his forehead, and immediately "saw" three big words "Taixu Bu".

The font was unfamiliar, neither cloud seal nor jade book gold book, but the meaning was immediately clear.

Taixubu is a kind of body movement technique that living people cannot practice at all, only ghosts can.

Because the core of Taixu Step is to shrink the body and hide in the cracks of time and space in the underworld.

Ghosts can be big or small, and the Taixu Step can shrink the ghost's body infinitely until it slips into the cracks in space.

Although it is impossible to practice, the knowledge about the time and space dimensions of the underworld opened Xiaoyu's eyes and brought him huge gains.

Seeing her studying the jade with great interest, Prince Fu could no longer wait and said, "Fairy Yu, why don't you read the book first? I'll give you the jade. You can take it home and read it slowly."

Xiao Yu was overjoyed and quickly stood up and bowed to him to thank him. "I am overwhelmed by such a valuable gift, but I really need it. I am deeply grateful for your kindness, King Fu!"

Prince Fu stood up, returned the half-salute, and said, "Fairy, there is no need to do this. You treated me with sincerity, taught me the methods of the Lord of Flowers without asking for anything in return, and were meticulous and extremely detailed. How can I not repay you with my heart?"

Xiao Yu exchanged a few more polite words with him, and asked in confusion: "Since Prince Fu even gave me the Lingyu, why do I have to read these books on the spot?"

Prince Fu smiled bitterly and said, "Fairy, have you forgotten where you are?
This is the paradise in the underworld!
The secret book was written by me using ghost paper. If the ghost paper is not burned into ashes, ghosts cannot get it!

When you bring them back to the world of the living, all that's left is a handful of black ashes.

And you don’t understand the Jade Book and the Golden Book.

If you don’t understand the contents of the on-site memory manual, I can explain it to you.”

"Thank you!"

When Xiao Yu taught him the Lord of Flowers before, he had no reluctance at all. Now he felt that his efforts were worth it.
