Chapter 103: Crossing a Realm in One Day
"At the end of the Qin Dynasty, when the Qin royal family saw that Guanzhong had fallen and realized that Xianyang would be captured, many members of the royal family stole some of the Qin Dynasty's treasures and hid in the mountains and forests.
Among them, a group of Qin royal family members once went south with one of the twelve golden men of the First Emperor, hoping to recall the 500,000 Qin troops in the Baiyue area to return and attack.
However, Zhao Tuo, the general who had just taken over the expedition to Yue, saw that the situation was hopeless, so he refused to respond to the call to go north and even killed that branch of the Qin royal family.
At that time, the Qin royal family that brought the twelve golden men southward had not been completely destroyed, and a prince of the royal family disappeared with the golden men. "Mrs. Baimei explained to Ding Hai the origin of the twelve golden men.
"Master, how did you know that?" Everyone present, including Ding Hai, was puzzled.
At this time, more than two thousand years had passed since the fall of the pre-Qin period. Both the Qin and Han histories were vague in some places. How could what happened in the land of Baiyue be recorded so clearly?
"My surname is Ren, and my ancestors were generals in the pre-Qin Dynasty who conquered Yue. These records have been passed down from generation to generation in my family."
Ren?
Ding Hai thought of someone.
In the pre-Qin period, there were three generals who held this position.
The first one was Tu Sui.
The second one was Ren Xiong.
The third one was Zhao Tuo, who later became the King of Nanyue.
Could it be that Nun Baimei is the descendant of Ren Xiong?
"Master, you are very knowledgeable. Do you know the true origin of Xie Ji?"
If Master Baimei is really the descendant of Ren Xiong, then she must know the mystery of Xie Ji's immortality.
You know, Zhao Tuo, the King of Nanyue, was just the deputy of her ancestor Ren Xiong.
If it weren't for the fact that the descendants of Ren Xiong were not very capable and did not live long, it would still be unclear who the King of Nanyue was.
"You know, the evil concubines of all generations are not real people, but a kind of weapon made by Yin-Yang School in the pre-Qin period to study ancient miracles."
weapon?
Made by Yin Yang family?
How can this be?
Everyone present was stunned?
You know, the strength displayed by the evil concubines of all generations has never been lower than the level of Yang Shen.
If the Yin-Yang School had the ability to mass-produce Yang-Shen masters, this school would not have disappeared in history.
"Master, are all the evil concubines in every generation the same?" Taoist Qingyun asked in disbelief. His Taoist heart was somewhat broken at this moment.
You know, breaking through to the Yin God level has already taken everything he has put in.
Now he heard that masters at the Yang Shen level could actually be produced in mass production, how could he accept this?
"That's right. All the previous generations of Xie Ji were made in the same way. However, after the fall of Nanyue, the previous generations of Xie Ji had lost control and could no longer be considered simple weapons."
Nun Baimei knew how much of a blow this information would cause to the cultivators, so she did not blame Taoist Qingyun for suddenly interrupting.
"Master, Junior Brother, please go out for a moment. I have something to talk to Master Baimei alone."
After knowing Xie Ji's origin, Ding Hai glanced at Cai Yi who was also shocked in front of him.
If Xie Ji is really a weapon created by the Yin-Yang family, then the identity of Cai Yi, the little girl created by Xie Ji, is very questionable.
If Ding Hai remembered correctly, Caiyi was brought back from the habitat of Xie Ji by the White-browed Nun in front of him.
As for Caiyi, although Master Baimei allowed her a glimmer of hope because she was a compassionate Buddhist, she was still wary of her.
The wise old nun Baimei seemed to have seen something: "Caiyi, I have something important to discuss with Taoist Ding, so you can entertain these two Taoist friends."
"Yes, Master." Caiyi replied respectfully.
Then, she looked at Taoist Qingyun and Qianhe beside her, smiled and made a gesture of invitation to them: "Senior, Junior Brother Qianhe, please follow me."
Taoist Qingyun and Qianhe looked at each other. Although they still had many doubts and shocks in their hearts, they could only suppress their curiosity at this moment and followed Caiyi to leave the cave where Master Baimei was in seclusion.
After watching them leave, Ding Hai turned to look at Master Baimei and said seriously, "Master, I still have many questions about Xie Ji's origins. I hope you can help me solve them?"
Master Baimei has no intention of hiding anything ever since she saw Ding Hai. Even though she is two realms higher than Ding Hai now, Master Baimei really doesn't dare to say that she can defeat this junior in front of her.
Moreover, her time is up and she no longer has the energy to protect Bai Min'er and the Microwave Sect, since the successor Min'er and the victim Cai Yi both choose to believe that Ding Hai can solve everything.
As a dying person, what's wrong with her trusting her disciples before she dies? "Fellow Daoist Ding, do you know why the Yin-Yang family would research and create a weapon like the Evil Queen?"
Ding Hai shook his head: "I'd like to hear more details."
Nun Baimei said slowly: "During the pre-Qin period, the world was in turmoil, and each country was seeking powerful forces to protect itself.
As a prominent school of thought at the time, Yin-Yang School naturally continued to move forward in the pursuit of power.
In the early years of the Warring States Period, the second Donghuang of the Yin-Yang School discovered some miracles from ancient times in the area of today's Qinling Mountains.
Although these miracles had long been destroyed, a lot of knowledge was still extracted from them after research by the Yin-Yang School.
Among them, most of the knowledge about a powerful weapon that can create a humanoid form is included. This weapon is the prototype of the "Evil Lady."
“It is not easy to manufacture such a powerful weapon. It requires a lot of manpower and material resources, and some processes need to be carried out under specific conditions.
Therefore, although the Yin-Yang School has mastered the method of manufacturing this weapon, not many "Evil Princesses" have been actually produced.
In addition, although the power in Xie Ji's body is extremely strong, it also has a huge weakness."
Ding Hai's mind was moved: "Weakness? Since you know Xie Ji's weakness, why did you lose to her before?"
Nun Baibaimei calmly took over Ding Hai's unfinished words and said, "Why did you lose to Xie Ji? Is that so?
To be honest, I didn't take Xie Ji seriously at first. If I didn't use external force to fight her, Xie Ji would never be my opponent.
But I didn’t expect that the Twelve Golden Men of the First Emperor, who were only mentioned briefly in history, would be so powerful! "
Looking at the White-browed Nun who still had lingering fears when she mentioned the Twelve Golden Figures of the First Emperor, Ding Hai frowned and asked, "How strong is he?"
“If I can become the master of the Twelve Golden Men, I dare not say anything more, but no one in the top ten of the Heavenly Ranking will be my opponent.
Even if the old Heavenly Master from Mount Longhu summoned the Heavenly Master Sword and Heavenly Master Seal, it would still be the same.”
When Ding Hai heard this, his pupils shrank. The Heavenly Ranking was compiled by him and Zhang Zhiwei together.
Except for the last one who is just there to make up the number, none of the first nine are easy.
Especially the old Taoist priest Zhang Jingqing.
What if Master Baimei wasn't joking?
No wonder even though Master Baimei knew the weaknesses of the evil concubines of all generations, she couldn't win!
"Excuse me, Master, can you tell me the flaws of Xie Ji?"
Since she had already decided to trust Bai Min'er and Cai Yi's vision, Master Bai Mei naturally said everything she knew: "The weakness of the evil concubines of all generations lies in their self-awareness, that is, the sea of consciousness of the soul.
They were created, and from the moment they were born, they already had a huge amount of destructive energy in their bodies. This energy allowed them to effortlessly possess the strength to contend with the Sun God, but it also made their foundations and souls extremely weak.
This is also the reason why the evil concubines of all generations have gone astray. With their weak spiritual powers, they are easily influenced by the outside world."
“Cai Yi is an example. Although she is a doll created by Xie Ji, her situation is different from that of previous Xie Ji.
She was not affected by the contemporary evil queen or the treasures used to create the evil queens of all generations.
Therefore, although she has some characteristics of the Evil Lady, as long as she is not affected, she will not become a weapon that only knows how to destroy like the previous Evil Ladys."
After knowing that Xie Ji's weakness lies in her soul, Ding Hai couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Soul power, he is familiar with this thing.
After completely refining the Lord of Arms' battle flag, Ding Hai was confident that he could compete with the top ten on the Heavenly Ranking.
But there is still a big gap between arm wrestling and being able to beat the top ten on the Heavenly Ranking.
Judging from what Master Baimei said just now, after Xie Ji takes control of the Twelve Golden Men of the First Emperor, she will probably have a combat power that is among the top three on the Heavenly Ranking.
Facing a master of this level, Ding Hai could easily fail if he was not careful.
"Master, I have another question."
"Please speak." said Master Baimei.
"Where does Xie Ji's power come from? Why is it so powerful?" asked Ding Hai.
After a few breaths of recollection, Master Baimei slowly said to Ding Hai, "You are not the only one who wants to know this question. The first King of Nanyue, Zhao Tuo, once explored the source of Xie Ji's power.
But apart from knowing that this power came from ancient times and was extremely powerful, not much useful information was discovered.
According to the records left by my ancestors, the Nanyue King Zhao Tuo only found out that the power in Xie Ji's body was extremely dangerous. Once it got out of control, it would cause a catastrophic explosion.
When the masters of the Yin-Yang School created the 'Evil Lady', they were actually trying their best to suppress this power so that it would not get out of control."
Ding Hai's mind moved: "Does the nun know how to suppress this power?"
Nun Baimei shook her head: "Only the core members of the Yin-Yang family know how to suppress this kind of power.
Moreover, with the changes of the times and the demise of the Yin-Yang School, this method has long been lost in the long river of history."
"Thank you for clearing up my doubts, Master. I no longer have any other questions regarding Yu Xie Ji." Ding Hai bowed sincerely to Master Baimei.
“When Caiyi invited me this time, she said that you, Master, and another True Lord Yangshen wanted to help a genius who had just entered the Dao for a few years to grow up quickly and protect the Microwave Sect.
I wonder if this person was the one that Master and another senior had already chosen, or if there was a reason why he had to be chosen? "Ding Hai wanted to understand what the opportunity he was about to seize was.
"What did that kid Miao Zhen say?" Hearing Ding Hai asking about Miao Zhen, Master Baimei looked at Ding Hai hesitantly for a moment, and then she was relieved.
This is a genuine immortal seed.
With a top spiritual power like Maoshan behind him, accepting initiation from others is actually the worst choice for him.
"He has a pure yang body, and his talent is top-notch among the spirit bodies. Even the thunder spirit body of your Maoshan is inferior to him.
In terms of talent, he is the top genius that my Microwave School can get in touch with. Also, Master Liansheng, who suppressed the Evil Lady five hundred years ago, also has this physique. "
The Master Liansheng who suppressed the Evil Princess five hundred years ago also had a pure yang body?
After hearing this, Ding Hai finally understood his confusion. No wonder the Microwave Sect, which only had Master Baimei as the True Lord of the Yang God, dared to offer two True Lords of the Yang God to give people initiations.
It seems that the relics that embody the karma of Master Padmasambhava somehow fell into the hands of Master Baimei.
Miao Zhen possesses a pure yang body, and can absorb to the greatest extent the power contained in the relics of Master Padmasambhava, who also possesses a pure yang body.
If he is lucky, a relic will allow him to reach the edge of the Yang Shen realm.
If Master Baimei sacrifices herself a little and her luck is not too bad, she may be able to quickly become a True Yang God.
However, Miao Zhen, who inherited the karma of Master Liansheng's life, will probably be troubled for many years.
The fruit of the sarira must contain Master Liansheng’s understanding of Buddhism, plus Master Baimei’s magical powers that are biased towards Buddhism.
If Miao Zhen had a worse character, he would probably have been accompanied by green lamps and ancient Buddhas for the rest of his life.
As for the colorful clothes?
By then, even if seven fairies came down to earth, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to shake the Buddha nature in his heart.
"Master, if Miao Zhen really accepts the initiation of your Microwave Sect, I'm afraid he will have to pay a hefty price." There was a gleam of light in Ding Haixiang's deep eyes.
Nun Baimei nodded and admitted frankly: “If Miao Zhen accepts the initiation, he will indeed have to pay some price.
After all, how could one reach the Yang God Realm quickly without any cost? But this opportunity is what any cultivator dreams of having."
"Master, if I want to receive the initiation on behalf of Miao Zhen, is that possible?" Master Baimei said frankly, and Ding Hai was naturally happy.
After a moment of silence, Master Baimei looked at Ding Hai and slowly said, "Originally, Miao Zhen was indeed the best candidate in my mind.
But if you, Fellow Daoist Ding, are willing to sincerely protect Amin and the Microwave Sect, I can change the person who will receive the initiation from Miao Zhen to you, Fellow Daoist Ding.
But Fellow Daoist Ding, have you really considered accepting the initiation? This is not a joke. "
Although Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism are always shouting about red flowers, green leaves and white lotus roots, the three religions are actually one family.
However, apart from some universal concepts that are relatively consistent for the purpose of missionary work, the core of the three religions is actually very different.
As a Taoist disciple, Ding Hai received initiations from two Buddhist and Taoist Yang Shen at the same time.
It would be fine if nothing happens, but if something happens, one may become possessed and die if one is not careful.
"Master, don't worry about me. I have found my own path. Your path and Master Liansheng's path have no influence on me.
In fact, compared to your Tao, I value more the vast amount of magic power you two have accumulated over the years."
"Our magic power?" This time it was Master Baimei's turn to be confused.
The magic power in each person's body carries the unique characteristics of that person's spirit, energy and spirit, and can never be 100% integrated with that of other people.
When he wants to go further in the future, his own and Master Liansheng's magical powers will become his shackles.
Ding Hai, a seed of immortality born in Maoshan, could not possibly not know this.
Ding Hai, who is good at observation, guessed the doubts of Master Baimei: "I have a way to erase the personal imprint in the ownerless magic power and transform it into the purest spiritual energy of heaven and earth."
Ding Hai was not joking, and he would never joke about his own path.
Although he was two great realms behind Master Baimei and Master Liansheng, the teachings of Master Baimei and Master Liansheng were nothing to him.
It's a bit ridiculous to say that he can erase it anytime he wants, but it won't take much effort either.
The same is true of the unique spirit and energy within their magical powers.
