Where are the monsters?

Encouraged by Ying Ni's bonus and benefits, shopkeeper Zhang finally translated the five books before the summer vacation in July.After he translated it, he lost a lot of weight. I don't know if it was because the content of "Treasure Hunting Records" made him almost disbelieve in life.

"Boss, I need to give me more time for a more accurate translation, and there are quite a few places in it that I have to check the information to figure it out."

Ying Ni was already very satisfied with such a result in less than a month, and gave shopkeeper Zhang a week off to let him have a good rest. Anyway, there are not many decent deals in Yi Ren Zhai these days.

"Old Zhang, you should have a good rest first. The next translation can be slower, and if you are not sure, list all the possibilities you can think of. You can also check the maps of those strange places."

Ying Ni hired shopkeeper Zhang to be the shopkeeper of the Yirenzhai, and offered him a salary that would allow him to live comfortably. He was not simply asked to manage an antique shop with no business, but also because of his added value.

Not to mention that shopkeeper Zhang was sleeping in the dark at home, in fact, he wished to forget all those manuscripts in Manchu. After reading this simple translation, Mu Feng and Ying Ni also fell into deep thought. To practice this skill, you must first come from the palace.

The eunuch who left this record is called Liu Quan. He teased himself that he was not the same as Liu Quan of Heshen's family, although they met each other in the last years of Qianlong.

This "Records of Treasure Hunting" has been written since the Jiaqing period. There are five books in total. Finally, he saw Emperor Xuantong move out of the Forbidden City, and since then this majestic palace has become a dead city.

Liu Quan said that the kung fu he practiced was strange, and he had to be neither yin nor yang to enter the Tao. Women could not practice this kung fu, and only men could enter the Tao after they had purified themselves.Cultivation needs to absorb the Qi of heaven and earth, Yin things need Yin Qi, most people need Yang Qi for cultivation, and they need the Qi of emperors, or in a deeper way, what they need is the Qi of dragon veins.

The energy of the dragon veins is innate luck, and its rise and fall is related to the entire dynasty. It cannot be directly absorbed by mortal monks. They can only obtain it by entering the palace and seeking the emperor's energy from the side of the emperor.In fact, this is not an aboveboard cultivation method. Essentially, it is stealing the aura of the emperor. For them, the more powerful the dynasty is, the greater the power they can gain.

This kind of practice method that sounded absurd at first glance came into being from the day of the castration. Liu Quan didn't go into details, but only knew that there were people who practiced successfully in the pre-Qin and Zhou dynasties.

However, there are very few people who choose this method of cultivation, the reason is that they have to leave the palace first.

There is still a difference in the way of thinking between monks and ordinary people. Many of them follow the path of ruthlessness. They take the seven emotions and six desires very lightly, but purifying the body means that the six faculties are incomplete, which will cause a lot of trouble for future cultivation. They will have a lot of shortcomings in the process of cultivation and comprehension.

At the same time, what is even more terrible is that this kind of deficiency can not be reshaped until the stage of transformation of the gods, which is a period longer than that of ordinary monks who can reshape the body in the stage of Nascent Soul.

The more deadly point is that they are born with the energy of dragon veins. If a dynasty fails to cultivate to a certain level before its downfall, it must be attached to the next dynasty and cannot be interrupted, otherwise all previous efforts will be wasted.

Liu Quan didn't say much about the origin of the school. "Records of Treasure Hunting" is his diary, which mainly records the experiences of these years.

He didn't purify himself to join this sect. On the contrary, he met an old eunuch in the palace after being sold by his family and introduced him to this sect.Speaking of it, perhaps no one would believe that this old eunuch once served Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty. As for how he could live in the Qing Palace for so many years, because old monsters like them can change their faces.

When Liu Quan met the old eunuch, this cheap master was trapped by demons, so he didn't accept three cheap apprentices including Liu Quan for the purpose of inheritance.In fact, they are just used as spare nutrients.But who knew that in the last years of Qianlong's reign, the aura of the dragon's veins was greatly reduced, which gave Liu Quan and the three of them a chance to fight to the death. Taking advantage of the weakness of the old eunuch, they killed him.

The three brothers Liu Quan felt that the kung fu of this sect was completely dependent on the rise and fall of the dynasty. The key was that in the last years of Qianlong, after the dragon's aura was greatly reduced, there was a sudden chaos. That is to say, it was very likely that this was the last dragon. It's the end.

Unable to concentrate on hanging on the crooked neck tree, the three of Liu Quan began to think of other ways.The records in the book are not detailed. Liu Quan just said that they spent a lot of effort and finally understood the original origin of this sect. It has something to do with the lost Jiuding. If they can find the nine missing tripods, put them in the Together, there will be a way to solve the predicament of the Jedi Tiantong at once.

The so-called "Jedi Tiantong", according to the "Shangshu Kong's Biography": the emperor ordered Xi, He, the world's official in charge of heaven, earth, and four seasons, so that people and gods do not disturb each other, and each has its own order, which is called "Jedi Tiantong". '.

In layman's terms, it is to separate the God Realm from the Human Realm. According to legend, the distance between the Heaven Realm and the Human Realm has been infinitely widened. Except for the Kunlun Ladder Heaven and Earth, all other passages have been cut off.

This is the manifestation of the separation of many realms.

Dijiang once said that this place is the intersection of many worlds, and it is not difficult for practitioners to go to heaven and earth, but after the separation of many worlds, it becomes very difficult to reach those worlds, and they may even get lost in the chaos and fog .

Besides, in the face of this situation, there are always monks who have come up with countermeasures, which may have a lot to do with Jiuding.Liu Quan did not record in detail how they knew this, and after that they were all focused on finding Jiuding.But the results were never satisfactory, maybe they were not lucky people, until the fall of the Qing Dynasty, they could not find one of them.

When the Qing Dynasty fell, Liu Quan and the others failed to find a new way out, and the imperial spirit they had relied on disappeared, so they could only die unwillingly.

Liu Quan was the last of the three to die. The reason why he wrote and left this "Treasure Hunting Record" in Manchu was out of a very complicated state of mind.

The three little eunuchs originally entered the palace without knowing the big characters. In the late Qianlong period, Sinicization has become more and more serious. Even the number of Eight Banners who can learn Manchu is decreasing. They learned Manchu records to avoid people's eyes and ears. Reduce the chances of being known by others.

It can be seen that when these diaries were first recorded, Liu Quan was full of confidence, but as time went by, he became more and more disappointed. They hid in the palace and rummaged through a lot of materials, specifically looking for those tombs An anecdote, but it was proved to be incorrect one by one.

The three of Liu Quan are like ghosts in the deep palace, sometimes in the palace, sometimes out of the palace to hunt for treasure, sometimes in vain, sometimes gaining, but unfortunately no matter the gain or loss, it has nothing to do with the Jiuding they are looking for.

Liu Quan went from hope to disappointment, and finally to despair. During the more than 100 years of practice, he has been proud, so what if he is a eunuch, he once looked down on the emperor, because he understood the mysteries of the world better than the emperor sitting on the dragon chair, and seeing the emperors die one by one, he was proud of himself. Infinite possibilities approach longevity.

It's a pity that Liu Quan guessed the beginning but not the ending.They have indeed embarked on a journey of cultivation, and their lives have infinite possibilities, but because they have glimpsed those mysterious things, they will be even more desperate when they reach the end. There is no unparalleled road, and why are there so many surprises It was nothing more than a cup of loess.

And when he saw that the Forbidden City had become a dead city, and knew that the dragon veins in this world were cut off, and their sect could no longer continue, he really wanted to burn these diaries.

However, after struggling, he still took them into the coffin. He knew that there would be fewer and fewer people who could understand Manchu. Maybe in another 200 years, no one would be able to understand what he wrote.

Liu Quan didn't arrange complicated organs, and buried himself hastily. In addition to laying the coffin with gold bricks to prevent the corpse from turning into a coffin, he only buried a set of jade artifacts of the twelve zodiac signs, which were rewarded by the old eunuch when he first entered the palace. He said he took it from the Ming Dynasty's inner treasury, but the old eunuch didn't pay attention to it at all.

Liu Quan remembered that he hadn't started practicing at that time, and the excitement he felt when he got such a set of jade articles seemed to be regarded as a treasure.But a hundred years later, the old eunuch was killed by them, and the two senior brothers had also passed away. He was still dying, and at that moment he realized that all he could leave behind after going around was this set of jade articles.

Liu Quan left these diaries, and he himself didn't know whether he hoped that someone would find out, or let it be buried forever.

Liu Quan's final state of mind was as still as still water. He wrote some stories about the past in the palace at the end of the book. For example, in the Forbidden City, it was not just a weird sect like them, who walked in it under the cover of a eunuch.

He mentioned the hidden half room, and they also went to explore it. There is a terrible power hidden there. If they were born with the aura of the emperor, then the power of the half room must be suppressed by the aura of the emperor.

He wrote at the end of the book, never try to figure out the secrets of the deep palace, this is an abyss that will only swallow you up, if you can do it all over again, it would be better if he never entered the palace.

There are three kinds of luck in the world. Being able to live an ordinary life is one kind of luck, and being able to embark on the road of spiritual practice is another kind of luck.It's a pity that he doesn't have the third kind of luck. It turns out that the word luck is so mysterious. If he is not the right person, he is destined not to get it.

However, Liu Quan just wanted to open it, but he was still unwilling. He wished that he could just take a look at it, so that he could see the wider sky outside the sky.

Liu Quan left this set of diaries. He hoped that the person who got it would be a person with great luck. He didn’t ask for anything else. When he succeeded, he could just burn a letter and tell him. Although Liu Quan knew that he would never receive it, The soul of a cultivator does not enter reincarnation, and when it is destroyed, it is destroyed, and there is nothing left.
