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

Chapter 404 "Tai Gong Bao Lu" (Thanks to the leader of "Moonlight Under the Stars" for the reward)

The servants were dealing with the cold body of Monk Duobao on the second floor, and were also trying to rescue You Daoist who was 80% sure to die.

The brazier on the third floor was lit and the banquet began.

This time we are really here to appreciate the plum blossoms. Actually, no one cares about the wintersweets blooming outside.

Everyone had different thoughts, some seemed absent-minded, some frowned slightly.

At least the house is much cleaner and quieter.

Everyone was neatly dressed and polite, there was not even a waitress to pour wine.

Moreover, everyone's gaze was very polite. They would rather look at the men next to them than look at Xiaoyu and Shaoyao.

Not only did he not dare to look around, but he also kept chanting calming mantras such as the "Heart Purification Mantra" in his mind, trying his best to suppress his already cold desires.

They are afraid.

Although Yu Fengxian was arrogant and domineering just now, she also frankly stated the basic principle of "Warning Guanyin": the sword intent only cuts off the spring love in everyone's heart.

If there were no spring love, the warning Guanyin would be just a wooden man, harmless.

"Master Zhao, can you tell us about the Seven Arrows Book?" Xiaoyu spoke first.

"Has His Royal Highness the Crown Prince told the fairy?"

Zhao Zhen looked to be in his early forties, with a fair face and no beard. He wore a Gaoshan crown on his head, a black robe, a red skirt, and a large white silk belt.

He obviously has more of the bearing of a nobleman than the Red Leaf Sword Immortal He Xuan.

In other words, Zhao Zhen should have a high status in the Qin Dynasty. He Xuan's words, calling him a "mud man" of the Qin Dynasty, were a bit insulting, but he certainly did not have the bearing of a country of rites and music.

Very rough and very martial.

"Your Highness has introduced me, but I am a barbarian with limited knowledge. I have never even heard of ancient great powers like Taoist Lu Ya." Xiao Yu said.

Zhao Zhen pondered and said, “It’s normal that I haven’t heard of the great powers of the ancient times.

Today we are only practicing the Seven Arrows Book, and there is no need to learn about the legendary deeds of Lu Ya Daojun himself."

Li Rongji's eyes flashed, and he said, "I am also very curious, so please let us open our eyes. Anyway, it is still more than an hour before the third watch."

——Hurry up and tell everyone about Taoist Lu Ya’s battle record, so that Fairy Yu Feng will know the horror of the Seven Arrows Book!
Let her know that she has no right to show off and act recklessly in front of me!
When Zhao Zhen caught a glimpse of Li Rongji's expression, he remembered what he had told him before.

In fact, he felt there was no need to threaten.

Because the actual effect of the Seven Arrows Book is enough to shock anyone.

However, just now Yu Fengxian used the "Warning Bodhisattva" to act recklessly, making them miserable, so she really needs to be punished.

“I know some things about the Conferred Gods period in the Middle Ages in detail, but it is not easy to publicize them.

Although the Conferred Gods War is very far away from our time, the immortals and gods who participated in the Conferred Gods War still exist today.

It can even be said that all the star gods in the sky came from that era.

If I spread their secrets privately, it would probably bring disaster upon myself and you."

Zhao Zhen glanced at Xiao Yu and said, "If you have the opportunity to go to Daqin, you can go to the Xianyang Storage Room and look for the relevant manuscripts yourself.

All I can tell you now is that Lu Ya Daojun is the great ancient power second only to Daozu.

His Flying Sword of Immortal Slaying and Seven Arrows Book are almost invincible except for Daozu.

Even a Golden Immortal can be killed."

He knew that the Flying Dagger that Slashes Immortals and the Book of Seven Arrows had killed those immortals, and could even tell the story of their deaths.

The Zhou Dynasty’s storage room contains relatively complete “historical materials” on the Battle of the Gods.

Now all the "historical materials" have been moved to the storage room of Daqin.

Unfortunately, the immortal who died that year did not die in ashes, but was included in the List of Gods and was named the Star God of Heaven.

Even if you think with your butt, you know that the Star God will not be happy. The embarrassing story of being tortured and killed was spread everywhere by mortals. It is said that the Xianyang Storage Room has caught fire several times, all of which are related to the Star God in the sky. It was not until the Great Qin Tianshi took the initiative to burn some of the information that the Storage Room was at peace.

Xiao Yu asked tentatively, "Is the 'Seven Arrows Book' obtained by Master Zhao the original version of the ancient secret method?"

The immortals who were killed by magic weapons became star gods. They still exist and occupy high positions and cannot be provoked.

Obviously, the owner of the magic weapon must also exist, and his status and position must be even more respected.

Can it be good to just steal and learn other people's Dafa?

Zhao Zhen shook his head first, then nodded and said, "It is definitely not the secret method of Taoist Master Lu Ya, but it is indeed a complete secret method passed down from the Middle Ages."

Xiao Yu was puzzled and asked, "Master Zhao, you have confused me. If it is not the secret method of Taoist Master Lu Ya, why is it a complete secret method?"

Zhao Zhen asked, "Do you know Jiang Taigong and the State of Qi?"

Xiao Yu said: "I am a latecomer, ignorant and inexperienced, so I dare not say that I understand. I have only read Chinese books such as the Spring and Autumn Annals, Zuo Zhuan, and Shang Shu."

Zhao Zhen said: "When Lu Ya Daojun finished his tribulation, he left, but he lent the Seven Arrows Book and the Immortal Slaying Gourd to Jiang Taigong for a period of time.

Jiang Taigong was originally a Qigong practitioner from Kunlun, and also a disciple of the Taoist master.

He is gifted with extraordinary talent and is a natural saint."

Xiaoyu looked a little conflicted.

As mentioned before, she has read "The Investiture of the Gods".

I don’t have many memories of Taoist Master Lu Ya, but I am deeply impressed by Jiang Ziya, Yang Jian and Nezha.

She clearly remembered Jiang Ziya’s character in Taoism: a fool who only eats from the trough!
It’s not that Jiang Taigong is stupid, it’s that his talent in cultivation is disappointing. Even the Taoist Patriarch couldn’t lead him and could only send him down the mountain to preside over the affairs of the Conferred Gods.

"If Jiang Taigong was born a saint with extraordinary talent, why did he fail to become an immortal after practicing Taoism in Kunlun Mountain for decades, and finally died in the mortal world as an emperor?"

Zhao Zhen sneered, "No matter how talented you are, can you defeat fate? Besides, Jiang Taigong just didn't become a celestial being, so he is not as good as the golden immortals under the Taoist master.

There are billions of sentient beings in the three realms. How many of them can become celestial beings?
Could it be that those Qi-refining practitioners who have practiced for decades but have not been able to become celestial immortals are all stupid fools with dull talents?

So how do we calculate it?"

——What’s the point of being neither better than the best nor worse than the worst?
Xiaoyu disagreed in her heart, but she didn't continue to argue with him.

"Master Zhao, is your Seven Arrows Book related to Jiang Taigong?"

Zhao Zhen nodded and said, "Jiang Taigong failed to ascend to heaven and became an immortal, but stayed in the human world and became the founding king of Qi. Qi at that time was not as prosperous and stable as it is now.

To the north of Qi State was the North Sea, to the north of which was the Uttarakuru Continent; to the east was the East Sea, to the east of which was the Dongsheng Continent; to the south was a swampy and miasmatic land with ferocious barbarians and wild beasts.

Long before King Wu conquered King Zhou, Master Wen of the Shang Dynasty had been tied up for decades by the rebellion in the Beihai.

When Taigong took over Qi, he naturally had to work hard to expand the territory and stabilize the four directions.

He spent a hundred years but was unable to completely quell the demonic invasion and the barbarians.

During this period, he encountered countless powerful demons and evil monsters.

Taigong himself was not an immortal, and the Conferred God Ceremony had already ended, and the immortal generals under his command had long disappeared.

Taigong had no choice but to replicate the magic weapons and magic arts from the Conferred Gods period and created "Taigong Baolu".

It is said that in addition to "Taigong Bingshu", "Taigong Baolu" also collects all the immortal magic and secret techniques that appeared during the Conferred Gods period.

I don't know whether it's true or not.

Even the "Taigong Military Book" is just a legend in the Qin Dynasty. There has always been a legend, but no one has actually seen it.

But now we can be 100% sure that the "Tai Gong Bao Lu" must contain the List of Gods and the Seven Arrows Book. "

Xiao Yu murmured, "The Great Qin's Investiture of the Gods came from the Records of Taigong? Can the Records of Taigong be obtained by the Great Qin now?"

Zhao Zhen shook his head and said, "Taigong did not leave the Taigong Baolu to future generations, at least not the complete version.

Perhaps only the five elements magic of Taiyi Xuanmen has been preserved.

Strange and mysterious methods like the Investiture of the Gods and the Book of Seven Arrows, once they fall into the hands of unworthy descendants, will only ruin the Jiang family's fortune.

They all became burial objects and followed Taigong into the Nine Netherworld.

Therefore, the "Tai Gong Bao Lu" is now just a legend, and no one has ever really obtained it."

Xiaoyu nodded slightly. It was quite normal for Jiang Taigong to make such an arrangement considering his magnanimity and wisdom.

"Since it is a legend, how did the List of Gods and the Book of Seven Arrows come to be spread?" she asked.

Zhao Zhen of "Investiture of the Gods" hesitated and said, "It seems that tens of thousands of years ago, a celestial master named Song dug it out from Taigong's tomb."

"Digging grandpa's grave?" Xiaoyu was shocked at first, but then felt it was natural.

Taigong took "Taigong Baolu" into the grave. What's wrong with others digging his grave?
However, the graves in this world are different from the graves in the material universe.

Can digging up the tomb of an emperor, or even the tomb of a ruthless man like Taigong, be good?

"Who is Song Tianshi, so powerful that he could dig up Jiang Taigong's tomb? Not to mention that Taigong was the founding emperor, just based on his identity as the host of the Conferred Gods, how evil must his tomb be!"

Zhao Zhen chuckled and said, "You say that because you don't understand Master Song's identity.

First of all, he was the Heavenly Master in Heaven, and he had also been the State Master of Qi State for nearly ten thousand years on earth.

He dug up Taigong's tomb not for himself, but to change his fate and change the destiny of "Tian family replacing Qi".

To put it bluntly, it is to work for the Jiang family.

Secondly, his surname is Song, and he is the direct descendant of Song Yiren, Taigong’s close friend.

With the blessing of his ancestors, no matter how ominous the tomb of Taigong is, it will not harm him."

Xiaoyu actually had some impression of "Song Yiren", because Song Yiren was a good brother of Jiang Ziya.

Jiang Ziya left Kunlun Mountain and returned to Chaoge, where he lived in the home of his old friend Song Yiren.

Song Yiren also lent money to Lao Jiang to start his own business.

No matter how many times Lao Jiang failed in his business, Song Yiren remained unmoved and his attitude towards his old buddies remained the same.

By the way, Song Yiren also found a virgin in her sixties for Jiang Ziya.

This is much harder than finding a teenage girl!
Zhao Zhen continued, "If there is a second person in the world who has seen the Taigong Baolu besides Jiang Taigong, it can only be that Song Tianshi.

He not only produced "Investiture of the Gods".

It seems that even the Seven Arrows Book in my hand was given to Jiang Xiaobai by him."

"Jiang Xiaobai, King Huan of Qi?"

Xiaoyu's heart moved, and she suddenly remembered the jade bell and jade pendant given to her by her ghost son Chi Miao.

"Master Zhao, King Huan of Qi, Jiang Xiaobai, died a long time ago, right? He died before the Tian family took over Qi."

Zhao Zhen said: "What if he died? Even though he is dead, his heroic spirit lives on."

Xiao Yu asked, "Why did you give the Seven Arrows Book to Jiang Xiaobai in the underworld?"

Zhao Zhen sighed, "How can Master Song succeed if he wants to go against the will of heaven? If he fails, he will die.

After the fall of Jiang Qi, it was probably Jiang Xiaobai who came out to clean up the mess and buried Song Tianshi near his own mausoleum.

Among them are the relics of Song Tianshi."

"Master Zhao is indeed a wise man from the upper state. He knows even this kind of medieval secret clearly."

Xiao Yu first flattered him, then tried to test him: "Could it be that the Seven Arrows Book in the Immortal Master's hand was just dug out from the tomb of Song Tianshi?"

Zhao Zhen narrowed his eyes slightly, "Why did Fairy Yu say 'just now'?"

Xiao Yu said frankly: "I have a ghost son who works in the underworld.

Not long ago, he gave me a jade bell, saying that tomb robbers had stolen a large number of treasures from Jiang Xiaobai's tomb.

Even a priceless jade bell is only the most insignificant item among all the treasures."

(ps: Let me start with a passage from the original text of "Investiture of the Gods" - Zi Ya said to everyone: "This treasure was taught to me by Master Lu Ya when I broke the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation. He said that I would use it for other purposes in the future, and today it has come true. This treasure is probably cultivated with iron, absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon, seizing the beauty of heaven and earth, and reversing the five elements. When the skills are perfected, it is like yellow sprouts and white snow, forming this treasure, called "Flying Knife". This thing has eyebrows and eyes, and there are two white lights in the eyes, which can nail the Yuanshen of the Niwan Palace of humans, immortals, demons and spirits. Even if there are changes, they cannot escape. The white light on the top is like a wind wheel, and after only one or two turns, its head will naturally fall to the ground. The last time I killed Yu Yuan, it was this treasure."

Here Jiang Ziya is introducing to everyone the Flying Sword of Immortal Beheading that Lu Ya borrowed (some say gave to him).

Jiang Ziya was able to explain the principle and refining method of the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife in relatively detail, which shows that he has the potential to imitate the magic weapon.

The Flying Sword of Immortal Slaying is almost a powerful magic weapon for the first echelon of the Conferred Gods.

It would be easier to copy the Immortal Slaying Flying Knife and imitate other secret magic treasures.)
