"Illustrated Book of Monsters of the Tang Dynasty", entry on heavenly beings:
Heavenly beings are said to be the most comfortable human beings. They live in heaven, completely bid farewell to the earthly world, and are free from reincarnation. They are always leisurely and cheerful. They like music and literature, singing, dancing, painting, playing chess... In short, they live a happy life.
Stress-free life.
Under extremely rare circumstances, heavenly beings will come to the earth. They always seem to be incompatible with the human world, always like to say things that do not understand the meaning, and always make people difficult - but they are not always able to return to heaven.
Some people think that the flesh and blood of heavenly beings is a very high-level alchemy material. I am not sure about this. But I can be sure that the flesh and blood of heavenly beings are poisonous to monsters, so monsters will never attack them. Even the heavenly beings who are not good at fighting
You can also play around in the human world with peace of mind. Even if you encounter a beast or evil ghost, just reach out and touch it to calm the other person down.
Heavenly beings are born with the ability to soar into the clouds and mist, and are often surrounded by light, making them look very sacred. Perhaps this is the reason why they are worshiped by mortals?
Wu Jie closed the book and thought carefully about this record in the book.
Unlike ordinary mortals and even casual cultivators, Qingyang Temple is a major sect with a long history, and its disciples have actually encountered heavenly beings who have been banished to mortals. These words spoken by Senior Baitian should be very reliable.
"It's not reliable at all! The Celestial Race is a famous fighting race in Xinghai. When they are born, they have power comparable to that of a Golden Core monk. When they reach adulthood, almost every one of them becomes a strong man at the level of the Yang God True Immortal. But there is not a single word in this article.
There is no mention of their military power!" Jasmine curled her lips disdainfully, "Height determines vision. How can a mortal standing on a small mound know what the scenery is like in the sky!"
"Then you know?" Wu Jie, who has a strong sense of belonging to Qingyang Temple, asked with some dissatisfaction.
"Of course! Back then, the sect raised a lot of Celestial Beings, and their taste was really good. Some were fresh and tender, some were plump, and some were very strong and chewy...and the blood of Celestial Beings is a good quenching material.
, if the skin and bones are extracted alive, they can be used to make very high-level magic weapons. After being brainwashed, they can be used as very useful thugs - the most valuable ones are actually the ones who are pregnant - "
"That's enough!" Wu Jie became more and more outrageous as he listened, and stopped her angrily, "After you see that Holy Goddess, you can analyze her origins. I have no idea how powerful the Divine Lord's disciples were back then.
I'm not interested at all!"
Jasmine, who had been beaten for no apparent reason, felt aggrieved and ran to the tree to be dejected. Du Ruo sighed and went to persuade her on Wu Jie's behalf.
"Jasmine, have you forgotten what the fourth child's temper is like? He has always hated this kind of topic."
"But...it was obviously what we did back then..."
"That was then, and now is now - Jasmine, do you think it was easier to get along with the Supreme God King back then? Or is it easier to get along with the fourth child now?"
"Of course it is now! But after the reincarnation of the master, he lost all his majesty, and he was not so decisive in doing things. It was so refreshing before! If you say to kill the whole family, you will kill the whole family, if you say to extract the marrow and refine the soul, then extract the marrow and refine the soul... praise!"
"But those were all things in the past. He is no longer the Supreme God. Jasmine, you have to face the reality. Don't always miss the domineering power of the past. What's the point of always quarreling with the fourth child?"
"Alas..." Jasmine sighed, feeling very frustrated.
Wu Jie did not interrupt the conversation between Jasmine and Du Ruo. He just sat leaning on the table, recalling the records in the book and thinking about what to do.
After a while, he asked Xiao Chai: "Is that Holy Goddess so full of light that she can make evil spirits quiet just by touching her?"
"Meow, wings of light, sword of light, one sword... and everything is light."
Wu Jie frowned.
The records of the seniors are supposed to be correct. Could it be that the Celestial Being is a fake? Or... the group of white-clothed monks summoned are really the "Celestial Beings" that Jasmine calls them?
Wu Jie thought for a moment, then shook his head and rejected this guess.
The power of the Celestial Race was so powerful that it was impossible for the Patriarchs not to feel it, but they did not react. They just sent their new disciples to investigate - according to common sense, the problem should not be big.
Of course, it is not ruled out that this is the possibility of using him as cannon fodder. However, Wu Jie felt that if he wanted to send cannon fodder, there seemed to be no need to use the twenty-seventh generation disciple as cannon fodder.
That would be such a waste!
The journey along the way was uneventful. The current of the Da Chi River was not turbulent, and no water bandits or road tyrants were encountered on the way. Wu Jie continued to activate his Qi to transform his internal energy while carefully studying the book written by Senior Bai Tian.
The records in this book are not very detailed, but compared to those rural rumors and the like, its narrative is really clear and informative, and is very practical.
For example, for a special ethnic group called "half-beasts", it first introduced the possible origins of half-beasts, then analyzed the appearance and characteristics of several common half-beasts, and later said, "Half-beasts often cannot be very good.
He has to control himself to transform between humans and beasts, so it will be somewhat dangerous."
Seeing this, Wu Jie originally thought that the next step was to introduce how to identify and eliminate half-beasts. However, senior Bai Tian changed the subject and said, "Half-beasts are often very straightforward and forthright people. If you see them transforming, don't be afraid or attack.
You should say something like, 'Ah, your hair is very beautiful today!', 'Ah, such handsome horns look like they were carved by a famous artist!' something that makes them happy."
"There is actually no difference between half-animals and ordinary people. They have similar personalities and hobbies. You cannot be particularly wary or hostile to them just because of their different appearances. It should be noted that even if there is no hostility in the first place, this kind of unfriendly attitude will still cause
This lays the foundation for future disputes.”
"Although goodwill may not necessarily lead to goodwill, hostility will certainly only lead to hostility. Future generations of disciples who read this book, please keep this in mind!"
Wu Jie was deeply moved and erected a stone tablet in the World of Heavenly Books and engraved this sentence on it.
"Master, do you want to use this to remind yourself? I don't think always being kind is necessarily a good thing. You will be deceived and plotted by others."
"With you by my side, it's a good thing that I don't deceive or scheme against others. Am I still afraid that others will deceive or scheme against me?"
While they were having this conversation, the ship had already sailed to the end. Wu Jie took Xiaochai ashore, and after some questioning at the port, he found a cargo ship bound for the southernmost "Xinxiang Port".
"Sir, this is a cargo ship, and it's not comfortable to live in!" The ship owner, Boss Zhu, didn't want Wu Jie to take the ship at first, so Wu Jie took out a heavy pound of silver ingots from the medicine box, one, two,
three...
A few minutes later, a special room was vacated on the ship, which was cleaned as much as possible. Many of the cloths that had been transported were taken out to decorate and bedding, making the cabin look like a VIP box.
In response to the sailors' protest, Boss Zhu said nonchalantly: "As long as we deliver this distinguished guest to Xinxiang Port, it will be worth 60% of our usual profit from a trip. At that time, I can take half of it and share it with everyone——
If anyone doesn't want to, you can get off the boat now and I'll find someone else."
The sailors expressed their emotional stability and firmly supported Boss Zhu’s correct leadership!
Maybe Wu Jie was really lucky these days, and it turned out to be calm on the road. The violent storms that were supposed to appear from time to time in June and July were not encountered even once. When the cargo ship arrived at Xinxiang Port, it was even worse than expected.
The time is two days early!
"Mr. Wu is indeed a noble man! I have been on the ship for so many years, and I can count the number of things like this at such a favorable time on one hand!" When Wu Jie got off the ship, Boss Zhu warmly complimented him, nodded and bowed.
, "If Mr. Wu wants to take a boat in the future, please give priority to the villain's boat!"
"It's easy to talk about."
"The villain Zhu Zhenji is in the fabric business. If I can meet more noble people like Mr. Wu, my business will definitely be booming!"
"Haha, then I wish you, Mr. Zhu, a prosperous business and the greatest wealth in the world."
"Thank you for your good words!"
Saying goodbye to the over-enthusiastic Boss Zhu, Wu Jie found a restaurant in a prosperous location in Xinxiang Port, sat down in the corner of the lobby on the second floor, deliberately ordered some exquisite and expensive food and drinks, and waited until the waiter brought the food.
, first said a few polite words, and then took out a small ingot of silver.
"I am a scholar who has read thousands of books and traveled thousands of miles." He pretended not to see the waiter's eyes staring straight at the money and said with a smile, "During this time, I have been collecting all kinds of anecdotes. Xiao
2. If you know any interesting news, I am willing to pay for it."
The waiter gulped and asked nervously: "Sir, what kind of news do you like?"
"Well... it's best to be those with gods and monsters, such as gods, monsters, wizards, monks and Taoist priests... and so on."
The waiter's eyes immediately lit up, and a confident smile appeared on his face.
"Then young master, you have really come to the right place! There have been some weird things happening in our area recently!"
Wu Jie secretly smiled in his heart, but his face remained noncommittal, quietly waiting for him to continue.
"About two years ago, a group of white-clothed monks came to our place. They called themselves the 'Supreme Holy Religion' and called on the common people to accept their preaching and repent of their past sins of not being religious, so as not to fall into reincarnation after death.
, can go to the Paradise."
"Although I have never heard of the name of this sect, this statement is quite common among monks," Wu explained.
"Yeah, so no one took them seriously. Probably because they couldn't survive, they moved away. It was said that they were going to a small place in the south called Sichen Town. As a result, they bumped into each other when they went there.
Got the iron plate - although Sichen Town is not a big place, it is filled with capable people!"
"Oh? What kind of capable person?"
"It's a great wizard named Ishimatsu Hiro. This great wizard has great magic power. He especially likes to point and draw when he moves his hands. But he is different from ordinary wizards. His pointing and drawing movements have nothing to do with magic. He often uses his fingers clearly.
Looking to the south, the magic is coming from the north..."
"Hey! This is really a strange person! I must pay him a visit in two days!"
"That won't work. You can't visit him. He's been dead for several months."
"How did he die?"
"Listen to me slowly - when those white-clothed monks first arrived in Sichen Town, they offended the Stone Wizard and suffered a big loss. They had to abandon their armor and run away. Everyone was already aware that they were like a tree.
The Suns were separated, but unexpectedly, half a year ago, they suddenly came back again. Not only were their numbers several times larger, but they also found a silly girl with wings on her back from nowhere, called the 'Holy Goddess'..."
"Goddess? Is she a fairy from the sky?"
"Haha! You are indeed a talented person. Your ideas are different from those of ordinary people like you. But that silly girl is not a fairy. She can't even speak clearly. She looks stupid and you can tell that there is something wrong with her brain. Even if she is.
Fairy in the sky, he must have fallen down when he came down to earth, his head hit the ground first, and he was knocked unconscious."
Wu Jie laughed out loud at these words. After laughing, he asked again: "What happened next?"
"Although this silly girl is stupid, her skills are really good! As soon as she struck, she severely injured the stone wizard and even lost an arm. The stone wizard reacted quickly and used magic to escape immediately. But this stupid
The girl was so powerful that she kept chasing him and cut off his other arm. The stone wizard lost his hands and could no longer cast spells, so he was caught by the white-clothed monks and burned to death on a fire."
Wu Jie was stunned. He didn't expect that the stone wizard died like this. He couldn't help but sigh and asked what happened next.
"Even the stone wizard is dead, and of course no one dares to provoke the white-clothed monk with the support of this silly girl. So they started preaching again... It's been really prosperous these days!"
Wu Jie frowned and asked doubtfully: "These monks in white clothes can stand up a living person and burn them to death. We should usually avoid them. How can we become religious?"
"It's because of that silly girl! That silly girl doesn't think she's stupid, but she's very capable! No matter what kind of old disease it is, as long as she shines a white light on her hand and touches the uncomfortable place, the disease will
Immediately 70% to 80% better! Master, tell me, with such a living treasure, can the business of those monks be bad?"
Only then did Wu Jie suddenly realize.
He asked a few more questions and made sure that the waiter didn't know any more valuable information, so he gave him the money.
The waiter left happily, and Wu Jie sat there in deep thought.
The Supreme Holy Sect is probably just a sect that is not worth mentioning, but what is the origin of this silly girl "Holy Goddess" who can fight and heal diseases?
