Chapter Ninety-Eighth: Knowing the Earth and Utilizing the Carved Jade Tablet
Zhang Sui, who came to the bedroom, took out the jades he bought at Huang's antique store and put them all on the desk.
Zhang Sui picked up the jade tablet with the activated red bird carved on it, put it in his hand and looked at it carefully.
Zhang Sui felt that the power of the pure spirit introduced into it had not been lost at all, and was still flowing in the lines of the Suzaku pattern.
Holding the jade plaque in his hand, there was a faint warmth.
Zhang Sui touched his chin, took a blank jade tablet, condensed the sword energy in his hand into a needle, imitated the red bird pattern on the steel lin jade, and carved an identical red bird pattern on the blank jade tablet.
It was completed quickly. Zhang Sui looked at the red bird pattern on the blank jade plaque and nodded with satisfaction. The size and detail of the pattern were almost inseparable.
Zhang Sui introduced a trace of spiritual power into the newly engraved jade tablet. As a result, the jade tablet showed no reaction, and the pure spiritual power quickly dissipated and merged into the void.
No? Zhang Sui frowned and took the two jade tablets in his hands to compare the two patterns. There shouldn't be much difference? Is it because of the material?
Zhang Sui suddenly had a whim and used the art of knowledge on the piece of steel lin jade. In his mind, the steel lin jade seemed to be magnified thousands of times, like a tall jade mountain, with the lines of the red bird pattern on the jade mountain. At this time
There are ravines criss-crossing the Jade Mountain. These ravines are deep and shallow, and there are hidden mysteries in their layout.
Zhang Sui was overjoyed. He didn't expect that the art of knowing the earth could not only see macroscopic scenes, but also some microscopic things. The effect at this time was completely like a super microscope!
Zhang Sui sighed: "I just said that these transformation techniques should not be that simple. It seems that there are still many things that I need to explore and ponder."
With the skill of knowing the ground to deconstruct the lines of the red bird pattern from a microscopic level, Zhang Sui once again took a blank jade tablet, carefully used his sword energy to draw gourds on it, and once again carved out a red bird pattern.
Zhang Sui can pat his chest and guarantee that the pattern this time is absolutely the same!
Zhang Sui once again introduced a trace of spiritual power, and this time the red bird pattern on the jade plaque lit up smoothly. When Zhang Sui saw this, he was extremely happy.
But the question came again, what is the function of the activated jade tablet? Zhang Sui scratched his head, forget it, and find someone who understands to ask later.
Next, Zhang Sui carved the remaining blank jade plaques with the red bird pattern and activated them one by one. Then he found a cloth bag and put them all into it.
Zhang Sui tidied the table, stretched, and went back to the bed to lie down.
After absorbing the power of calamity in the statue yesterday, I didn't even have time to check it. Although I knew that the amount of calamity power could not activate the art of transformation, I was still a little itchy.
In the void of consciousness, it is still vast and magnificent. Two "Wishful Books" that look like heavenly gates stand in it. Various spiritual powers like spiritual smoke float around them, embellishing the entire void like a dream, like a fairyland.
Zhang Sui checked the number of doomed power, and found that there were only fifteen strands, which was three strands short of the eighteen that needed to be unlocked to unlock the art of change. Zhang Sui was a little depressed, looked at the art of giant power for a few times, and wandered for a while.
Drool. Back to reality.
With nothing going on, Zhang Sui simply started practicing the art of guidance to accumulate the power of pure spirit in his body.
Time flew by while practicing, and Zhang Sui felt as if he had just squinted for a while, but the sky had already darkened.
Zhang Sui walked out of the inner courtyard and saw Fang Xiong practicing a set of strange movements, which reminded him of the illustrations of the Yi Jin Jing he had seen.
Even though Fang Xiong was tall and thick, his body was extremely flexible. His movements were twisted and weird, and Zhang Sui's teeth ached when he looked at him.
When Fang Xiong saw Zhang Sui walking out of the inner courtyard, he stopped and ran over to say hello. After hesitating for a moment, he said with a grimace: "Second Master, except for my head, everything else on my body has turned white, and I even lost all my hair.
..”
Zhang Sui was stunned when he heard this, and Fang Xiong pulled up his trouser legs with his gloved hands. Sure enough, his two big, dark, hairy legs were now as smooth as jade, and even the muscles on his legs were much softer.
Zhang Sui touched his chin and said, "All your hair is gone? Has your strength been affected?"
Fang Xiong shook his head and said depressedly: "My strength has not been affected, but I have become so smooth. When I got up in the morning, I took a cold shower, and I lost all my hair, which shocked me. Second Master, these hairs should be
Will it all grow back?"
Zhang Sui was also a little unsure, scratching his head and saying, "It should grow out, right?"
Fang Xiong said with a mournful face: "If it doesn't grow back and I wear a short coat when the weather gets hot, how will I see people?"
Zhang Sui was speechless after hearing this. To you, does losing your hair mean you lose your face?
But think about the past, when the weather got warmer, Fang Xiong would always wear a short coat, with thick hair all over his body fluttering in the wind, especially the palm-wide hair that protects his heart. Coupled with his tall and burly figure, he looked even more majestic.
Fierce and powerless.
No wonder Zhang Xin wanted to make Fang Xiong the general of the Black Bear Army. At that time, Fang Xiong was indeed a humanoid furbolg.
Now that the hair all over his body has fallen out, his figure is becoming more symmetrical, and his skin has become as smooth as jade, Fang Xiong feels that he is embarrassed to see others.
He was never afraid of the cold, so he even wore a pair of large gloves to cover his white hands. It was not known where he found such large gloves.
Zhang Sui patted Fang Xiong on the shoulder and comforted him: "It's okay, doesn't your technique claim to have nine changes? This should be the first change. Maybe you can do it again next time you break through.
It's back to its original appearance!" Zhang Sui himself didn't believe what he said.
The honest Fang Xiong believed his words and felt relieved after hearing them.
Zhang Sui asked: "How are the preparations over at Laolu?"
Fang Xiong said: "Everything is ready, the greenhouse has been set up, and several chefs in Longde Building are already preparing dishes today. Just wait until tomorrow."
Zhang Sui nodded when he heard this and said, "Let's go to Zhang's house in the evening. Tell Aunt Liu that you won't have dinner at home."
Fang Xiong nodded.
When Zhang and Sui arrived at Zhang's house, it was dinner time. When the concierge saw Zhang Sui, he immediately welcomed him in. Zhang Xin soon ran out, and when he saw Zhang Sui, he pulled him directly to the backyard dining room.
middle.
On the way to the dining room, Zhang Xin said with a proud face: "Second brother is really good at choosing the right time. Today's meal is all prepared by me. My mother and eldest brother both said it was delicious."
Zhang Suiqi asked: "When did you, girl, learn to buy groceries?"
Zhang Xin said with a smile: "Didn't we go shopping at a seafood shop today? Zhizhi told me what was delicious, so I bought it."
Zhang Sui raised his eyebrows and said, "Did you release the branches?"
Zhang Xin shook her head repeatedly and said: "No, she stays in the backpack and sends messages to me when she sees something delicious. It's so magical!"
Zhang Sui felt relieved and said, "It's best not to expose your branches in front of outsiders, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble."
Zhang Xin pouted and said: "I know, I'm not a child. The second brother is getting more and more verbose, just like Mr. Zhou who taught me before."
Zhang Sui laughed when he heard this.
Several people came to the dining room, where Mrs. Liu and Zhang Tian Fu Yun were sitting. As usual, Fu Jun sat next to Mrs. Liu, looking gentle and virtuous.
When Mrs. Liu saw Zhang Sui coming in, she quickly greeted him: "Come on, Sui'er. We have just started. Today's dishes are all prepared by Xin'er. They taste really good. Come and try them."
Zhang Sui bowed to Mrs. Liu and sat down next to Zhang Tian with a smile.
The tall Fang Xiong stood behind Zhang Sui. Mrs. Liu looked at Fang Xiong and said, "Daxiong, why do you look different? Come on, sit down too, let's eat something together."
Fang Xiong looked at his gloved hands, hesitated, shook his head and whispered: "Thank you, mistress, no, I'm not hungry."
Mrs. Liu laughed and said, "I think it's not that you're not hungry, but you're worried that there won't be enough for you to eat. Xiangyun, tell the chef to make some more hard dishes, so that Nobita won't be able to eat them. I've heard from Xin many times.
I mentioned your appetite."
Fu Yun looked at Fang Xiong. Although she had met Fang Xiong several times, she had never interacted with him. She said: "This is..."
Before Liu could introduce him, Zhang Sui said: "This is my friend who grew up with me. His name is Fang Xiong. He and I are brothers."
Pulling Fang Xiong to sit aside, Fang Xiong felt a little uncomfortable.
Fu Yun looked at it and said with a smile: "The people around my second brother are not simple!"
Zhang Xin said from the side: "Sister Fu, Nobita is very powerful. He can pick up the rockery in my yard and walk around. His strength is amazing!"
Fu Yun smiled and nodded after hearing this.
Zhang Xin said to Fang Xiong: "Nobita, why are you wearing gloves when eating? Aren't you afraid of the cold?"
Fang Xiong looked embarrassed and whispered: "Miss Third, I have some inconveniences..."
Zhang Sui smiled and said, "If it's any inconvenience, take it off. It's not shameful."
Hearing this, Fang Xiong reluctantly took off his gloves.
Everyone was immediately attracted by his hands. Zhang Sui did not expect that his hands looked like this.
I saw that Fang Xiong's palms were broad and thick, his fingers were slender and well-proportioned, and his knuckles were clearly defined. Although they were white, this whiteness was not the whiteness of a woman's skin, but a jade color. His whole hands looked extremely clean and full of energy.
A sense of power. The more I look at it, the more it tastes like manliness!
Zhang Xin took Fang Xiong's hand, turned it over and over, and exclaimed: "Daxiong, how come your hands become so beautiful?" Holding Fang Xiong's hand, it felt so good that she didn't want to let it go.
open.
When Mrs. Liu saw this, she hit Zhang Xin on the head with her chopsticks and scolded: "Let go, what are you saying to a girl?"
Zhang Xin stuck out her tongue and reluctantly let go of Fang Xiong's hand. Fang Xiong's face turned red.
Fu Yun looked at Fang Xiong's hand, thoughtfully, and said: "It seems that this little brother's body training skills are very extraordinary. If my prediction is correct, except for your head, all other parts of you are already
Is this the state?"
Hearing this, Fang Xiong nodded repeatedly.
Fu Yun smiled and said: "Continue to practice hard, you will have unexpected benefits after you break through!"
Zhang Sui asked curiously: "Does Sister Fu know this kind of skill?"
Fu Yun nodded and said: "Luo Yan, the commander of the Nine Transformations of the Heavenly Dragon and the Shanshan Army among the ten divine armies, practiced this technique. It is quite powerful!"
Zhang Sui looked at Fang Xiong and said, "Did you hear that? After practicing, you can become the commander of an army. If you practice hard, maybe you can form a black bear army by then, haha!" Zhang Xin nodded repeatedly after hearing this.
Fu Yun smiled and said: "After he breaks through, he probably won't be called the Black Bear Army."
Zhang Xin asked curiously: "Why is that? Sister Fu."
Fu Yun touched Zhang Xin's head and said with a smile: "I'll give it a try first. Just don't be so shocked when you see him."
Zhang Xin had a puzzled look on her face, Zhang Sui had expected it, but didn't say anything.
Soon the hard dishes prepared for Fang Xiong were on the table, and Ms. Liu quickly greeted everyone.
Not to mention, the seafood picked out by Zhizhi tastes really good.
But Fang Xiong didn't even look at the dishes on the small plates, including the big elbows, whole chickens and ducks prepared for him. Before everyone had finished eating, he had swept away all the hard dishes, and there were still some
The meaning is still not finished.
Zhang Xin, who was watching on the sidelines, had a huge appetite and even ate two more bowls of rice. She held her belly and screamed, and was laughed at and scolded by Mrs. Liu.
After dinner, Mrs. Liu took Zhang Xin, who was reluctant to leave, back to the inner courtyard.
Zhang Sui and others were drinking tea and chatting in the hall.
Zhang Sui took out the Steel Lin jade plaque from his sleeve, handed it to Fu Yun and said, "Sister Fu, can you help me see what the significance of this jade plaque is?"
Fu Yun took the jade token, a little surprised, and said: "The protective jade token of Yulingguan is still an activated old token. Second brother, where did you get it from?
This kind of thing is rare nowadays. Since the death of Taoist Master Qing Hong of Yuling Temple in the previous generation, this craft has been passed down in Yuling Temple. There are not many left outside now."
Zhang Suidao: "What is the function of this jade tablet? Is it difficult to make?"
Fu Yun said: "To use the power of pure spirit to activate the jade card, you need to drop blood and bind it to the host. Once the host is attacked by evil spirits or external forces, it can turn into a red bird to protect the host's life until the spiritual power in it is exhausted.
until.
Moreover, Suzaku is good at fire, and the wearer can enter ordinary fire without being hurt. Even strange fire can be resisted for a while as long as the grade is not high.
Since spiritual power was discovered twenty years ago that can activate these protective jade tablets, several Taoist temples that can make such jade tablets have become popular among noble people.
But this kind of jade tablet is very difficult to make, and you can only get one in a hundred, so it is extremely precious. You are lucky, this jade tablet is not bound by a drop of blood."
Blood binding, such a familiar and convenient operation! I didn't even try it. Ever since the blood dripping failed in "Ruyi Book", Zhang Sui felt that the blood dripping method was too backward. As a result, this jade tablet now requires this method.
Operation, it seems that I still think too much.
Zhang Sui asked: "Is it very precious? How much is a jade plaque like this worth?"
Fu Yun smiled and said: "Money is not easy to measure, but this thing can save lives. For those noble people, it is this jade plaque, and if they are asked to exchange it for a Zhang Mansion, they will definitely be willing to do so."
Zhang Sui was a little bit tongue-tied. It was only through the efforts of several generations of the Zhang family that a mansion like the Zhang Mansion could reach its current scale. I didn’t expect that such a jade plaque could be easily exchanged in the eyes of those nobles. It seems really true.
Poverty limits his imagination!
Zhang Sui looked at Fu Yun with a smile on his face and said, "I wonder if Sister Fu knows such a noble person?"
Fu Yun smiled and said: "What? Second brother, do you want to sell this jade token in your hand? Although the value can be calculated in this way, no one actually exchanges this jade token for money. They all use it as a transaction.
In exchange for other scarce things, or for friendship."
Zhang Tian also advised from the side: "If my second brother is short of money, you can tell me. Treasures like this cannot be obtained only by money."
Zhang Sui ignored him, took out a cloth bag from his sleeve, and dumped all the Suzaku Jade tablets he had made on the table.
He smiled and said to Fu Yun: "If Sister Fu can introduce a few people who can afford to buy this jade plaque, I can give you 30% of the silver. What do you think?"
