Chapter 347 Liangzi Lake's Butterfly
The thunderstorm passed all night, and the vegetation around Liangzi Lake was like a wash.
As the morning light begins to shine, the distant mountains are inlaid with a layer of gold.
It was an intoxicating beauty, but the lake exuded a stench, with the smell of burnt flesh, permeating the air.
On the lake, dozens of small boats were cruising everywhere, and even the navy Jiujiang Sentry Ship sailed into the center of the lake.
In addition, there are large pieces of black material floating in the lake, similar to coke, and the stench comes from this material.
"Be careful!"
"A few more people here!"
"Quick, we found it over there!"
Hearing someone exclaiming, the surrounding boats immediately gathered.
Plop! Plop!
Many people jumped into the water, and soon they pulled the cables onto the ship. Many soldiers pulled the cables through the pulleys.
Wow!
Soon, mud and water surged.
A Lu Ban wooden magpie was surfaced. Its quality was much worse than that found by Li Yan, and even the top was flattened.
However, the navy soldiers still cheered loudly...
Outside the camp, Li Yan heard the sound and couldn't help but look up.
The magnificent scene of "Zhengyi Thunder" yesterday really opened his eyes, and I'm afraid he will never forget it in his life.
Lao Gao Gong Zhang Zhi Ting said that when lightning strikes, there may be Firm Fire falling. He didn't understand what it meant at first, but when he saw it yesterday, he instantly understood it.
That "Shi Rou" swallowed Gaochang Ghost City and merged with the evil place. It became an evil thing itself and trapped many wronged souls.
It can be said that he is comparable to the top old demon.
But the only drawback is that he has no wisdom.
Thunder is rolling, this thing feels threatened, and instinctively releases the accumulated Yin Energy and poisonous mist, making the thunder more powerful.
Thunderbolts descended one after another, immediately chopping the object until pieces of flesh flew into the air.
What's even more terrifying is that the sky thunder seemed to ignite the Gang Qi in the air. Wherever it passed, bright orange-red flames appeared again, falling again along the trajectory of the lightning strike.
This kind of scene could not be seen in the previous life.
And these Firm Fire mentioned by Zhang Zhi Ting actually ignited Yin Energy directly after they fell. The two came together and ignited all those Yin Soul Fierce Ghost almost immediately, sending them flying.
Then, there was "Shi Rou".
Firm Fire's burning started from the inside. Shi Rou's huge body surged up from the lake. Lines of fire appeared on its body, which was shattered by lightning and turned into coke.
This sight made everyone stunned.
Of course, with such power, the consumption is staggering. Even if you use the sky thunder, you still need to refine the thunder energy within yourself to cast the spell.
At the end of Thunder Punishment, a group of Dragon Tiger Mountain Daoists were so tired that they could no longer stand still and returned directly to the camp to rest.
Killing "Shi Rou" is not the end.
After all, the inscription in the tomb mentioned that the two seniors had refined ten Lu Ban wooden magpies, most of which had been devoured by "Shi Rou".
Therefore, the soldiers were ordered to search throughout the Liangzi Lake area, and Yuan Feng issued a heavy reward. Each one found would be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver.
There must be brave men under a heavy reward. Needless to say, the water quality of these sailors has been found. Two of them have been found in a short period of time. It is estimated that they will all be salvaged within a few days.
Of course, there were other things caught at the same time.
Two Enforcement Hall monks carried something from the shore.
Zen Master Tong Huan, Cheng Jue, and even Commandery Commandant Office's Tian Chiliarch all stood aside and came closer when they saw what was happening.
"Brother, I found it."
The two Martial Monk put them down and stepped aside.
There was an object on the ground, about the size of a washbasin. One side was rough and dark, while the other side was polished and smooth, giving off the luster of dark green glaze.
The smooth side is carved into the shape of a god with a ferocious face and six arms each holding a magic weapon. It is exactly the Ghost Face Dakini seen on Thangka.
But unlike Thangka, the belly of Dakini is huge, round, and hollow. It is sticky and contains some black membranous material, like a broken embryo.
"Glass fall?"
Li Yan couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw the material of this thing.
Zen Master Tong Huan heard this and asked, "Does Donor Li know this thing?"
Li Yan nodded, "This object is a kind of meteorite. It is rough on the outside and looks like glass after polishing on the inside. However, it is so large that it is really rare."
He only knew this by accident.
In his previous life, meteorites were also collectibles. He once read in a report that someone had picked them up and sold them for a big price, so he learned about this rare item.
Thinking of this, Li Yan also frowned and asked, "Master, is this thing Divine Embryo?"
Zen Master Tong Huan nodded and said in a deep voice, "It is rumored that Dakini is the god who communicates between gods and Buddhas and the mortal world. It should be Divine Embryo."
However, Li Yan was even more confused, "What's going on with the fetal membranes there? Is it possible that Black Sky Mingwang still has a body?"
This is the real weird thing.
Whether it is Returning Yang One or Lower Realm, judging from the information, it is often a spiritual existence that acquires a physical form in the human world.
But this Divine Embryo is the real thing.
Zen Master Tong Huan was silent for a moment, shook his head and said, "The poor monk doesn't know this either. That 'Dakini Sect' has an ancient inheritance, and it may be their unique secret method."
"The poor monk will bring this thing back and ask some seniors for advice before making a decision."
"Oh."
Li Yan's expression remained unchanged and he didn't ask any more questions.
He had a feeling that the old monk was not telling the truth. The seniors he wanted to ask for advice were probably those hidden earth immortals, and there was probably some secret involved.
Although he was curious, he couldn't ask more questions unless others told him.
However, at this moment, Dragon Tiger Mountain Zhang Zhi Ting, who got the news, hurriedly walked out of the camp, took a look, and said solemnly, "Fellow Daoist, you can't keep this thing privately."
Zen Master Tong Huan clasped his hands together and said, "Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Zhang, this matter will be decided by the seniors. Just go back and tell the truth truthfully. You and I can't decide how to deal with it."
The two of them talked like they were playing riddles.
Others were confused, but did not dare to ask more questions.
As for Tian Chiliarch, although his expression remained unchanged, he secretly noted the matter, then secretly winked at Li Yan, turned around and left quickly with the others.
Li Yan knows that this Tian Chiliarch will probably disappear and hide in secret to track down the clues of Zhao Changsheng.
Seeing that something was not right in the atmosphere, Yuan Feng quickly stroked his beard and said with a smile, "The success of retrieving the treasure this time is all thanks to your help. I will host a banquet at Yellow Crane Tower..."
"Lord Yuan You're welcome."
Dragon Tiger Mountain's old master Zhang Zhi Ting shook his head directly and said, "Pindao got the news yesterday. Sichuan is in urgent need of help. We can't delay for a moment. I will leave soon."
Zen Master Tong Huan also clasped his hands and said, "The poor monk also has to escort this Divine Embryo away. If the demon gets the news, it will be troublesome."
Yuan Feng had no choice but to say thanks again.
Of course he saw something was wrong, but unlike Buddhism and Taoism and other big forces, Mo Sect had long since discontinued its inheritance and had no hidden seniors, so he was naturally not qualified to know these things.
Watching the two people leave, Li Yan's heart moved, and he said again, "Elder Yuan, I have something to talk to you alone."
Yuan Feng was slightly stunned, "Young Hero Li please."
Back in the camp, Li Yan suddenly said, "Elder Yuan, let's go take a look at the copper cans that were brought back."
Yuan Feng was even more confused, but very patient. He took Li Yan to the tent where the relics were stored, and asked the disciples guarding here to leave. Then he said, "Young Hero Li, what advice do you have?"
Li Yan glanced around.
Sure enough, the Mo Sect disciples had not realized what they had taken back. The classics and the small institutions used for teaching were all carefully collected, while the copper jar was piled haphazardly in the corner.
Seeing this, Li Yan shook his head, "Elder Yuan, what do you think is the biggest gain from this time?"
Yuan Feng stroked his beard and smiled and said, "Of course I have recovered the Mo Sect inheritance. I have already seen it. Not only Mechanism Arts, but also some of the lost methods of the Lu Ban craftsmen are treasured."
Li Yan sighed, came to the copper jar, touched it gently with his hand, "Look at it, this thing is the most precious, and it is even related to Divine Land's luck."
"Oh?"
Yuan Feng became interested, "I have also checked this thing. It is nothing more than a mechanism driven by boiling water. Although it is smart, it is far less convenient than a mechanism driven by running water."
"But the two seniors left inscriptions and said that this thing is the most precious. I really can't think of it. What is Young Hero Li's opinion?"
Li Yan was a little speechless, "Elder Yuan, what do you do when you use running water to drive a mechanism?"
Yuan Feng replied, "There is a lot that can be done. Design the mechanism of the imperial mausoleum, design Official Road important passes, mills, blacksmiths, and places with water. We can all use the power of the mechanism."
Hearing this, Li Yan couldn't help it anymore and said, "Elder Yuan, with all due respect, this thing is far more important than any mechanism."
"Think about it, if this thing is used to burn coal, can it be mounted on a chariot and drive the chariot forward without the need for horses to pull it?"
"The chariot is just a trail. If it is made big enough and tracks are laid to travel to various places, tens of thousands of tons of goods can arrive quickly..."
"This thing can be connected to mechanisms. Those two seniors just used gadgets to demonstrate. If it were connected to more than ten or twenty weaving mechanisms, can you imagine the scene?"
"With this thing to drive, pumping water and mining, only need to burn coal, there will be a huge power, there are many places that can be used..."
Li Yan couldn't help it either.
He knows the function of this thing better than anyone else.
Today is the Age of Discovery, and even in this world with the power of spiritual practice, historical trends are constantly advancing.
If this thing goes back and is shelved as an obscene Skillful Technique, it will be a loss of blood.
Perhaps the appearance of this thing will cause countless turmoils, but it is better than having someone else's iron ship and cannon hit the door.
History has proven that no matter how mysterious the power of Daoism is, it cannot withstand the overwhelming trend of humanity.
Yuan Feng After hearing this, he stood blankly on the spot at first, and then looked at the copper can, with uncertain eyes, doubt and fear...
He is a master of mechanisms, but his thinking is stuck in a rut. After being reminded by Li Yan, he immediately thought of a lot of things, his face turned pale, and he murmured, "No wonder, no wonder, that's how it is..."
Seeing this, Li Yan came to the side and whispered, "I'm sorry to say it bluntly, but the gods of other orthodox religions are located in the sky and are illusory, and this thing is your Mo Sect's god on earth."
"This is Human Path opportunity, and it is also Mo Sect luck..."
After that, he smiled and cupped his hands and said, "This matter is over. I will take my leave now. I will have the opportunity to go to the capital someday and talk to the elders again."
However, Elder Yuan Feng didn't seem to hear it, and still stared at the copper can, as if his head had shut down.
Li Yan didn't care, smiled, and strode away.
After leaving the camp, he felt refreshed.
Although he didn't get any benefits, the feeling of changing Divine Land's luck with just a few words still made him feel happy.
"Yan XiaoGe, what's the happy event?"
Sha LiFei, Wang Dao Xuan and others came over.
They had packed up their things and after seeing the fun, they naturally wanted to go back to practice.
"Nothing."
Li Yan smiled and said, "Heavenly Secret must not be leaked."
After showing off, he led a few people out of the camp and gradually went away.
In the camp, Elder Yuan Feng has been standing for a long time.
He can become the Mo Sect elder, and his understanding of these mechanisms has naturally reached a certain level. He turned around and looked at those small gear levers and other small mechanisms, and his mind was completely clear.
"God among men, God among men..."
"Someone is coming!"
Yuan Feng The elder's eyes were full of fanaticism, "Quick, get the incense Treasure Candle, I want to set up an altar Attendant."
After a while, the appearance of the camp changed drastically.
The copper jar with the dragon and phoenix embossed on it was carried out alone, and Attendant was placed on the table, filled with densely packed tributes, and filled with incense.
Under the leadership of Elder Yuan, a group of the Mo Sect disciples kept worshiping in front of the copper jar, strictly following the Orthodox God sacrificial etiquette...
Two days later, all Lu Ban wooden magpies among Liangzi Lake were salvaged. Most of them were damaged, and only two were usable.
However, the elder Yuan Feng didn't care at all. He left these matters to his subordinates and dispatched his troops to take a boat to Attendant all the way to the capital.
Li Yan pretended to be talkative and talked about the gods in the world, but he did not expect that the changes he caused were far greater than he imagined.
Of course, he didn't know any of these things.
The Liangzi Lake area is located in a remote area. After the evacuation of the imperial court, tranquility returned here again.
Everyone cultivates every day and no longer cares about external affairs.
Li Yan In addition to practicing Thunder Force Martial Method, he also found an ancient Miao People ancestral tomb area. Yin Energy spread. Every half month, he would go to the tomb to practice North Emperor Yin Mountain Method, and his Daoism became more and more advanced...
Wang Dao Xuan After seeing two masters setting up the Feng Shui formation, and watching the Thunder Altar, it seemed that I had some enlightenment, and started to try more advanced altar prayer techniques...
Apart from playing with firearms, Sha LiFei spent the rest of his time practicing Martial Arts. Trained by Wu Ba and Li Yan, his kungfu improved significantly and he began to think about coordinating with firearms...
As for Lu San, it is even more mysterious. He often disappears and often runs to the surrounding mountains and rivers, talking to the air...
The sun rises and the moon sets, the wind comes and the rain passes, and time passes day by day.
Of course, occasionally there will be news from the outside world.
For example, on the Yangtze River, monsters suddenly ran rampant. With the cooperation of Giant Turtle Master, the navy destroyed some of them, and then secretly destroyed them...
Over at Yunyang Prefecture, the imperial army was overwhelming. A large number of Jingchu Mountain People left the mountains and forests, and Heavenly Saint Sect's power continued to shrink...
In western Hunan, Tangya Tusi City completely broke his skin, held high the banner, gathered many chieftain forces, and echoed Bo Prefecture Yang Family, planning to crown the king...
Unknowingly, the cold wind suddenly picked up and autumn entered...
The second one is a little more
