Jiang Yao followed A Di to the small courtyard of the Di family, where a peasant girl in a cloth skirt and jade hairpin was busy working on the stove.
She opened the lid of the pot and took out the steaming yellow rice buns. She looked up and was surprised to see the man and Jiang Yao coming in.
"Dad, this is..." The woman turned pale with fright when she saw the god-like ginger medicine.
Adi quickly said: "Don't be afraid, this is a small medicine."
"Little medicine?" The woman blinked her eyes carefully and said in surprise: "What a little medicine!"
Her name is Huan Niang, and she also knows Jiang Yao.
Adi said: "If you fry some salted fish and add some medicine to your meal, you can't but eat meat."
"Okay!" Huan Niang agreed hurriedly, stood on the stool and went to get a salted fish from under the eaves.
Two children sat on the threshold and clapped their hands: "There is a fish to eat! There is a fish to eat!"
Jiang Yao asked: "Where is Uncle Di?"
Adi shook his head: "A few years ago, when I competed with others for a sheep in the mountains, I was beaten half to death. When I came back, I couldn't survive."
"I'll go and beat that man to death to take revenge, and the matter will be settled."
Ginger medicine is silent.
Poor public security and lawlessness are not only the biggest cause of death for martial artists, but also the biggest cause of death for mortals.
Famine, disease, and labor are secondary. How many people in a village are not killed because of fights and feuds?
Soon, the aroma of fried salted fish, accompanied by the strong smell of human fireworks, filled the air both inside and outside the courtyard.
Jiang Yao smelled this familiar smell and felt extremely comforted.
He not only thought of the beginning, but also of China and the lush years of the Chinese period.
Huan Niang brought a large plate of spicy salted fish to the table and said with a respectful smile: "Xiao Yao, this is the best dish in the house. Don't dislike it."
"Sister-in-law, please sit down too, and my nieces and nephews, please don't treat me like a guest." Jiang Yao said with a smile.
Huan Niang wiped her hands on her apron and nodded gently.
After all, Adi had grown up with Jiang Yao, so he was no longer afraid of Jiang Yao. He poured Jiang Yao a cup of home-brewed rice wine and said, "Xiao Yao, we haven't seen each other for more than ten years."
"Yes." Jiang Yao drank a glass of turbid wine without hesitation. This was an authentic ordinary wine, and it was very poor, but Jiang Yao found it delicious.
"In total, we haven't seen each other for thirteen years."
Adi also drank a glass of wine and pointed to the salted fish on the table: "Don't dislike it, you're welcome."
"Why do you dislike it? Salted fish is a good dish." Jiang Yao put a piece of salted fish into his mouth and couldn't help but get fascinated.
I am used to eating spiritual food that lacks fireworks, but this salted fish is amazing enough and has a different taste.
tasty.
Adi stopped his cup and said: "Back then, your family suddenly flew away, which alarmed the lord and Lord Lishan. They sent Master Wuxiu and turned your courtyard upside down, as if they were looking for something."
"Later, they said that you were martial arts cultivators and spies who came to Lishan Department to spy on the news. But I don't believe them."
Jiang Yao nodded and said: "We are indeed martial arts cultivators, and we came here to avoid our enemies. Our enemies were dead at that time, so we felt relieved to return to our hometown."
Adi looked outside and lowered his voice: "Xiao Yao, since you are a martial arts cultivator, I am not afraid to tell you that my grandfather is also a martial arts cultivator."
"Oh?" Jiang Yao was stunned. He didn't know about this.
He has never met Adi's grandfather at all, and it seems that he passed away very early.
The ancestors of mortals are almost all martial arts cultivators. But they are usually separated by many generations. There are very few mortals like Adi whose grandfathers were martial arts cultivators.
Adi showed a sad look: "My father told me about this before he died, and I didn't know it at first. You just said you were running away from your enemies, and that's when you reminded me of this incident. My father said that my grandfather was also running away from his enemies.
."
"Dad said that my grandfather was not only a martial artist, but a very, very powerful martial artist. As for how powerful he is..."
Adi showed a look of leisurely and fascinated pride, "My grandfather once said something to my father, saying that Mr. Lishan is worse than an ant."
Jiang Yao couldn't help but be secretly surprised when he heard this.
This is definitely not a lie that Adi is bragging about. He cannot tell such a lie. This sentence is simply not something that a serf in the mortal world can say.
Li Shanjun is a martial arts master. To say that a martial arts master is worse than an ant... is at least the tone of a martial arts master!
Jiang Yao is so powerful that he is not qualified to say that Lishan Jun is inferior to an ant.
Adi's eyes dimmed again: "But my father said that although my grandfather had great supernatural powers, he was already disabled when he came to this village. He said that he was besieged. Zi...Zi was destroyed and became a mortal."
"It's Zifu." Jiang Yao said.
A Di patted his thigh and said, "Yes, it seems to be the Zi Mansion. It should be very important, right? My grandfather became a mortal and ended up here. This is how we came to be our own family."
"Not only did my grandfather become a mortal, he was also poisoned by a very powerful poison. He survived for twenty years, and when the oil ran out, he still died. At that time, my father was only seventeen."
"But my grandfather is a very powerful Feng Shui master. I don't know how powerful he is. He once told my father that this place, which is a thousand miles in circumference, is a dragon vein fetal hole, and the dragon vein fetal energy is about to mature. Within a hundred years, there may be
A most powerful, powerful, supreme man will emerge."
Feng shui master! Jiang Yao couldn't help but feel excited.
After arriving in the real world, this was the first time he heard who was a Feng Shui master. Feng Shui masters in this world are extremely rare.
Therefore, very few people pay attention to Feng Shui. With the spiritual consciousness of monks, how can they care about Feng Shui?
Unexpectedly, Adi’s grandfather is a Feng Shui master.
Adi lowered his voice, "Grandpa also said that there are secrets in Beishan. Unfortunately, his cultivation has failed and he is unable to find those secrets. I think the white light in the past few days may be related to the secrets that grandfather said."
"The reason why he fled here is because he took a fancy to the dragon vein feng shui here, hoping that future generations can take advantage of it. Xiaoyao, what is dragon vein?"
Jiang Yao simply answered: "Dragon is a very powerful mythical beast in ancient times. Dragon veins, it means that the mountain has dragon energy."
When he heard Adi's words, his mind was filled with thoughts.
After Jiang Yao became a senior monk, he knew that Beishan might have a secret.
Back then, he and Adi went hunting in Beishan more than once, and sometimes they would see strange images and hear strange sounds.
Adi continued: "Before my grandfather died, he told my father something and left something behind. He said that if he met a martial artist with a reliable character, he would give that sentence and something to that martial artist.
build."
"But my father waited for decades, even until his death, but he still did not wait for a reliable martial artist who was destined to appear."
When Adi said this, he looked at Jiang Yao with a look full of relief, "Fortunately, I waited. Xiao Yao, is there any martial arts master I trust more than you?"
Jiang Yao put down the wine glass, "That's not bad. There is indeed no one more reliable than me."
He wasn't bragging, he was telling the truth.
"Wait a minute." Adi stood up and walked to the back room. He first rummaged through the boxes and cabinets, then dug with a hatchet until he was covered in mud, and then he dug out a black jade box.
This jade box is one foot long and three inches wide. It is also engraved with ancient characters and patterns. It is extremely extraordinary at first glance.
What surprised Jiang Yao even more was that this jade box not only blocked the spiritual consciousness, but also did not emit any spiritual energy fluctuations. It would definitely not attract the spiritual exploration of martial cultivators.
"Xiao Yao, this is what my grandfather brought here after a narrow escape. Look what it is." A Di handed the black jade box to Jiang Yao and looked at it eagerly.
His father couldn't open this box for decades, and he couldn't open it either. It was completely missing.
I don't know how many nights, Adi got up secretly and played with the jade box, but he couldn't open it.
This is no ordinary jade box at all.
Jiang Yao took the black jade box and discovered that the four ancient characters on it turned out to be extremely ancient ancient witchcraft characters.
Jiang Yao knows the ancient magic script, but not the ancient magic script.
The ancient witch scripts are somewhat similar to the ancient seal scripts of Shenzhou, but often the characters are similar to the meanings, and the characters for the images are often different.
Nowadays, even among the people of the Wu clan, very few know the ancient Wu texts.
Jiang Yao doesn't know what the material of the black jade box is. Although he has good qualifications in the art of weapons, he is only a C-level weapon master and doesn't know much about rare and authentic materials.
But Jiang Yao is sure that this is something from the witchcraft realm or an ancient artifact from the ancient witchcraft era.
Was it because of this thing that Adi's grandfather was besieged by others, so that he was poisoned and became a mortal?
There are restrictions on the black jade box. The level of the restrictions is extremely high, but because it has been so long ago, it has dropped to level four. Jiang Yao easily opened the jade box.
Before opening the jade box, he also placed a ban to protect A Di's family. In case the contents of the jade box were dangerous, A Di's family would be harmed.
"This is..." Adi suddenly looked extremely disappointed.
Inside the black jade box was a bunch of shriveled ears of grain!
This ear of grain is somewhat similar to the ordinary ear of spiritual rice, but the grain is more than twice the size of ordinary spiritual rice.
Moreover, Jiang Yao discovered that this ancient ear of grain has a charm that Linggu does not have.
Jiang Yao originally thought that the jade box contained some powerful magic weapon, or a skill, or a high-grade real material. However, she never expected that it was just a withered ear of grain.
Ears of grain are plants. Most of the plants have medicinal properties, which can be sensed by the medicinal spirit body.
However, because the ears of grain have long since dried up, and the medicinal properties of this medicine are extremely weak, it is difficult for the medicinal spirit body to sense it clearly at such a close distance.
I had no choice but to pick up the ginger medicine, put it in my hands, and feel it carefully.
Slowly, information about this ear of grain emerged in my mind one by one.
"Gui Ling Yuan Valley. Absorb the two energies of heaven and earth, give birth to spiritual veins, neutralize yin and yang, and regulate the vitality of heaven and earth."
Jiang Yao was stunned as soon as he heard the short introduction. Gu
Immediately, an extremely excited look appeared in his eyes that could not be suppressed.
Jiang Yao has been cultivating for more than ten years. Jiang Yao has read many Mu Gong classics, Yu Gong classics and Yao Gong classics, as well as knowledgeable friends like Yu Kan, and knowledgeable elders like Liu Danling and Yi Sheng.
It can be said that Jiang Yao’s knowledge is extraordinary.
Why are there fewer and fewer spiritual veins?
Why has spiritual vein become a non-renewable resource?
Because there is a problem with Lingmi now.
It is said that in the ancient spiritual rice production areas, over time, spiritual veins will be born nearby. The larger the planting scale and the older the planting history, the easier it is to produce large spiritual veins.
But later, for unknown reasons, the spiritual rice production area no longer gave birth to spiritual veins. This made the originally regenerable spiritual veins become a non-renewable resource.
As a result, resources became increasingly scarce, and the descendants of the lowest monks became mortals.
After tens of thousands of years, there were more and more mortals and fewer and fewer monks.
This is how mortals come to be.
As for why the Lingmi production area no longer breeds Lingmi, Jiang Yao already knows the answer.
There are two reasons.
First, after the true world is poisoned, the rules of heaven are lacking.
Second, the types of spiritual valleys have changed. The kind of spiritual valleys that can give birth to spiritual veins have become extinct. The reason for their extinction should be that they were targeted by poisonous epidemics back then.
Ginger medicine is a medicine spirit body or a medicine fairy. Herbs and grains are not divided into different families. How could he not study the spiritual grains that are commonly grown today?
In fact, there is no need for him to study. The relevant research on Medicine Road Shrine has been carried out for a long time, and the conclusion is:
"Today's spiritual grain is not an ancient seed, and it does not have the effect of transforming vitality into spiritual veins. It is actually a low-grade spiritual grain, a bad grain that the ancients did not plant."
Even Qin Yu knows this clearly.
The results of years of research at the Medicine Path Shrine are definitely correct.
At the same time, there is also a speculation in the Yaodao Shrine. The speculation is: "In ancient times, there was a spiritual valley that could regulate the yin and yang of heaven and earth, absorb the essence of heaven and earth, generate vitality, and then transform it into spiritual veins."
The monks use their spiritual veins to practice and turn them into true energy, which is then converted into vitality during use or after death. After eating spiritual rice, they absorb the vitality and turn it into spiritual energy.
In this way, the monk and the spiritual valley become two converters, one yin and one yang, complementing each other.
In this way, spiritual energy and vitality will be abundant.
But now, this ancient species that can produce vitality and transform spiritual veins has become extinct. It may still be artificially extinct.
Then only monks are left as converters, and resource circulation becomes imbalanced. Resources become less and less, competition becomes more and more fierce, society becomes highly involution, and wars become frequent.
What would happen if this ancient species could be resurrected?
There were many powerful people in ancient times and their average cultivation level was high, which should also be related to this kind of spiritual food.
Jiang Yao continued to use the medicine to sense the vitality of Guilingyuan Valley with his spiritual body, and found that the germ of the grain seeds had died due to too long time.
To resurrect the germ of a grain seed, you need an innate-level wood-attribute Taoist weapon, such as... the Wood Elemental Bead!
And ginger medicine just contains Mu Yuanzhu!
After a long time, Jiang Yaocai put down this extremely precious ancient species with high spirits, feeling very excited in her heart.
He has deduced the method of resurrecting the grain seeds.
Using the Mu Yuan Pearl and the magical power of medicine, you can resurrect the germ that gave birth to the ancient species and cultivate it again!
This is more than just a strategic treasure?
It is simply related to the rise and fall of the real world and the creation of the real world civilization!
The value cannot be overestimated. But if it were planted in the Ming Dynasty... he would be beaten to death!
Jiang Yao never imagined that such a big secret could be hidden in a childhood friend.
"Brother Di, this matter is of great importance. Don't tell anyone. Don't worry, I will definitely give you an explanation." Jiang Yao said.
Adi breathed a sigh of relief. Since this thing was very important, he felt relieved.
"Don't worry, Xiaoyao. I'm just a mortal. I know that once these secrets are revealed, it will be a catastrophe. The reason why I tell you is that I trust your character, and secondly, I want to fulfill my father's final assignment. I can't let my grandfather be so resentful."
"The words left by my grandfather were: Give the things to the Medicine Way Shrine, saying that these things are the most useful to the Medicine Way Shrine and are related to the prosperity of the human race in Shenzhou. Brother Yao, what is the Medicine Way Shrine?"
Jiang Yaodao: "The Medicine Palace is the highest medicine hall in martial arts. There are very powerful doctors and pharmacists in it."
"I understand." Adi nodded, "Grandpa believes that only the Medicine Dao Shrine can grow this millet."
Jiang Yao smiled and said: "Yes, that's it. So what your grandfather really meant was not that the things must be handed over to the Yaodao Shrine, but that they should be handed over to the person who is most likely to grow viable millet."
Adi understood, "What you mean is that if someone is more capable of doing the work, there is no need to hand it over to the Medicine Dao Shrine."
Jiang Yao collected the jade box and stood up, "Brother Di, you wait for me at home first. I'll go to Beishan to see what's weird about the dragon vein fetal points your grandfather mentioned. I suspect that the white air may be
Astronomical induction."
"By the way, what is your grandfather's surname?"
Adi said solemnly: "Gu Chang'an. My surname is my grandmother's. I dare not take my grandfather's surname."
Gu Changan?
When Jiang Yao heard this name, she couldn't help but be slightly startled.
Obviously, this is definitely not an ordinary person's name.
This Gu Changan must have a very strong background.
"I remember." Jiang Yao nodded and disappeared.
"It's amazing!" A Di looked envious when he saw Jiang Yao suddenly disappearing.
Originally, he was worried about the safety of Jiang Yao, fearing that Jiang Yao would be in danger in Beishan, but now, he felt that the small medicine was so powerful, there must be no problem.
It was already night. Jiang Yao came to the once familiar Beishan Mountain, hid in the clouds, and looked down at the mountains under the moon.
In the eyes of monks, Beishan is neither high nor deep. But in the eyes of ordinary people, Beishan is an out-and-out high mountain.
Jiang Yao looked at it for a long time, but couldn't see what kind of dragon vein fetal point Beishan was.
The theory of Feng Shui in the real world is obviously different from that in China. The biggest difference is that Feng Shui in the real world combines Tao principles and spiritual energy, making it more complex and mysterious.
Jiang Yao could read Feng Shui in China, but he couldn't do it in the real world. He had never practiced Feng Shui or other techniques in the real world.
But he sensed that Beishan's feng shui was indeed very different from that of other places. As for what exactly was different, he couldn't tell.
At this moment, he heard someone talking.
"They all said there was a white light falling, but I searched for several days and couldn't find anything."
Jiang Yao took a look and saw a group of monks coming out of the valley.
He didn't show up. Since so many people couldn't find anything for several days, does it mean that this white light is not a treasure, but maybe a celestial phenomenon induced by the dragon's veins?
Then this dragon vein is really no small matter.
It has become a climate.
According to the person who took care of Chang'an, this dragon vein should be in someone's body thousands of miles away, and the time should be within a hundred years.
Of course, what Gu Changan said was possible, not sure.
If it is true, who should it be?
It can't be me, right? I wasn't born here, but I grew up here. Does that count?
Jiang Yao suddenly thought of another question: Why did the Pisces Jade Pendant bring his soul directly here? And not elsewhere?
Is it such a coincidence?
Seeing a group of monks leave in disappointment, Jiang Yao dropped his head and slowly followed the mountain road where he used to hunt, returning to his old place without any hurry.
He saw a familiar large bluestone with a chessboard he had drawn more than ten years ago on it.
Jiang Yao sat down on the bluestone under the moonlight and couldn't help but think. He had spent many green years in this mountain.
I remember that his hunting dog Xiao Hei was lost here and was never found again. It must have been eaten by wild animals. Jiang Yao was still sad about this for several days.
Just when Jiang Yao thought of Xiao Hei, who had been with him for seven years, he suddenly saw four men in bamboo hats appearing in the valley.
The costumes of these four people are very similar to those of the insect spirit assassins.
Jiang Yao converged his consciousness and became completely invisible. He only observed the four people with his naked eyes. Although he could not see their cultivation level, he felt that the four people's cultivation level was not low.
Because Jiang Yao used a high-level invisibility charm and sealed his own cultivation, the four of them did not see him.
One of them looked around and suddenly said: "We have been looking for Gu Changan for decades, and now we have some clues. If this person is not dead, he will probably be hiding in this mountain."
"Not necessarily." Another person shook his head, "Can't he mix with the serfs? We should look for him among the serfs first. This man is cunning. He used drugs to change his breath, which made it impossible for us to find his blood relatives."
The third person said: "After all, Gu Changan is a quasi-sage and a first-class guest. Even if his cultivation is abolished, he will not mix with ordinary slaves."
The fourth person said: "Gu Changan will undoubtedly die. His injuries are so serious and he was poisoned. It is already the limit for him to escape to Lishan County. The question is, who will give his things to."
"That thing is something that the young master must obtain, and it will have a great impact on the young master's great cause. If we can't find the thing, we won't be able to return to the witch domain to pay for the young master."
After hearing this, Jiang Yao immediately concluded that these four people were from Chong Ling, and the young master they mentioned was probably Pankang.
