Chapter 754: Sun and Moon Buried in the Dog's Belly
The three of them were confused, gathered in front of Qian Chen and Dan Chenzi, and Qian Chen didn't say a word, then scraped a handful of rotten straw from his sleeve and stuffed it into Dan Chenzi's precious alchemy furnace.
Dan Chenzi jumped when he saw this: "My precious furnace, don't stuff any grass roots or broken rags into it. This is a spiritual treasure-level alchemy furnace, there may not be three in the entire Earth Immortal Realm!"
"I'm not stuffing any grass roots or broken rags!"
Qian Chen was calm: "I took these two handfuls of straw from the cave next door. They were dismantled from the sacrificial straw dog offerings to heaven in ancient times..."
Dan Chenzi leaned over to the mouth of the alchemy furnace and examined it for a while before nodding: "At first glance, this handful of grass is almost rotten, but it can be immortal. This kind of magic in decay is indeed a characteristic of sacrificial objects. This kind of straw dog sacrificed to heaven has mysterious Dao rhymes on it. If used to practice magic, sticking grass people or something, it might be able to secretly calculate against a Nascent Soul True Immortal. But why did you stuff it into my alchemy furnace?"
Qian Chen pointed to the yellow mud mountain of the Ten Thousand Gods Cave: "Dig some five-colored soil, add this sacrificial straw, and with the mystery of alchemy, can it be refined into five-colored clothes?"
Dan Chenzi suddenly realized: "You mean, using five-colored soil to dye the sacrificial straw to pretend to be the five-colored clothes made of mulberry green divine wood?"
"Wearing five-colored clothes, carried by Pan Hu, imitating the Pan Hu tribesmen of the past, is indeed the safest way to enter this cave, and it is also one of the safest ways to come out from inside."
Seeing Xiao Yu's eyes lit up, and he immediately said: "Legend has it that in the Pan Hu tribe, there are often elderly people who enter the cave and do not die, and are carried out by black dogs, becoming sacrificers!"
"White dogs carry corpses to be buried, black dogs carry people back!"
Qian Chen had already rolled up his sleeves to dig the yellow mud on the Ten Thousand Gods Cave. He took off the Dao scarf on his head, sifted the yellow soil several times, and left the fine five-colored soil.
Dan Chenzi raised the furnace fire. The originally dim five-colored soil emitted five-colored light after being burned by the furnace fire.
In the alchemy furnace, the rotten and blackened straw floated in the green furnace fire, becoming even more miraculous.
Faint Dao rhymes intertwined on the straw, as if the ancient ancestors were piously asking heaven.
Dan Chenzi's hand reached into the furnace fire, picked up the straw, and wove it rapidly. Soon, a piece of rotten straw clothing took shape.
"If it were a formal refining of sacrificial pills, that would be a profound alchemy method. I should use this straw as material, ignite the great thought fire of the ten thousand people sacrificing to heaven, call the gods of the four directions and five mountains to suppress it, pray for the sun and moon to pass through heaven to refine it, use a hundred ghosts and ten thousand souls as sacrifices, and then use the thought power of the ten thousand people as the monarch, the incense of the gods as the minister, the Dharma wine and spices as the assistant, the various ceremonies of sacrificing to heaven as the envoy, and operate with the mountain and river dragon veins, and walk with the ghosts and gods of the Nine Nethers. The pill will shock heaven and earth, and ghosts and gods will cry..."
Dan Chenzi said excitedly.
Qian Chen shook his head on the side: "And then on the day the pill comes out of the furnace, the divine thoughts of the emperors will come to visit. Who will you offer it to?"
"The sacrificial feast is an old heaven sacrificial method, and the Dao Sect ancestors don't accept it. Offering it to the Divine Path Emperors can certainly get their favor, but what about those who didn't get a share? Even if you appease all the Divine Path Emperors, the ancestors of the Doushuai Palace in the Heavenly Realm will definitely want to catch you and beat you up..."
Dan Chenzi was speechless, the most important point of the Divine Path sacrificial method is definitely not the sacrifice, but who to sacrifice to.
If you sacrifice to the right god, even if you burn a handful of rotten incense, there will be divine favor, and the ancestors of the upper realm will bestow Dharma.
If you sacrifice to the wrong person, even if you are the emperor of the human race, you will be entangled by evil gods and waste your national fortune.
Only the Dragon Race, Jade Jing Shan, and Northern Border Demon Race, who have ancestral spirits and true gods behind them, can use the sacrificial method to mobilize their background.
And the Dao Sect, Buddhist Sect, and the human emperor have their own regular processes for sacrifice, and they cannot disturb the procedure because of the sacrificial method or precious sacrificial objects, which will be counterproductive.
Therefore, the sacrificial objects in the Dao Sect are often used on the town-sect spiritual treasures, to awaken the gods in the spiritual treasures by sacrifice. For example, in the past, Zhu Zhu could awaken it with sacrificial objects, greatly increasing the power of the Dao Dust Pearl.
But at the level of the Dao Xie Xie Zushi's true transmission orthodoxy, ordinary spiritual treasures are not worthy of sacrifice, and the town-sect spiritual treasures are too precious, and moving them will shock the heavens, so they cannot be moved lightly.
So Dan Chenzi was embarrassed there, and could only shake his head: "Even if I can't refine the sacrificial Dao pill, with my old man's craftsmanship, refining a piece of five-colored clothing is not common? Using the remaining ten thousand people's thought power and sacrificial heaven Dao rhyme on the straw, dyed with five-colored soil, I guarantee it will be more like five-colored clothing than the Pan Hu tribe's, and truer than the real thing. Hehe... those Pan Hu nobles and wizards are what kind of goods, even if we talk about the old heaven Dao, they are definitely not as knowledgeable as our Dao Sect grandmasters!"
"That's true..." Qian Chen laughed: "Those old heaven remnants, Witch sacrifice class, aren't they all killed by our Dao Sect?"
Immediately, he twisted his fingers and played the accordion in front of his chest.
"No one... is more... knowledgeable... about Witch... Dao... than us!"
Picking out three pieces of rotten five-colored straw clothes from the alchemy furnace, Dan Chenzi backhanded them onto Seeing Xiao Yu and the three of them. Qian Chen instructed: "Still take out the set you usually use, kowtow when you should, worship when you should, courtesy is not a burden."
After speaking, Qian Chen raised his muddy hands, blew a breath at the three yellow dogs he kneaded in his palm, and then sprinkled a handful of white soil on them.
Accompanied by a few 'Woof woof woof!' barks, the three white dogs rolled on the ground and came to life, rushing toward the three of them.
The white dog bit Seeing Xiao Yu's trouser leg and dragged him onto its back.
The old Daoist touched the dog's head and found that it was really no different from a living thing. With his eyesight, he couldn't see any difference between these three white dogs and living things. The three of them had already vaguely recognized Qian Chen as the ancestor they had worshipped, and this time they had no more hesitation, and they all lay on the white dogs, pretending to be the dead they were most familiar with.
Qian Chen kneaded a handful of black soil for the three of them and said: "After the white dog carries you into the cave, don't be greedy. Pick up a few things. When you want to come out, sprinkle this black soil on the white dog, and they will turn into black dogs and carry you out."
The three of them nodded knowingly and held the black soil in their palms.
"Riding a dog to drill into a dog hole!"
An elder of Jade Jing Shan saw this scene and couldn't help sneering: "Although our sects agreed to explore the path to Gui Xu, it was ultimately to test the Ten Thousand Gods Cave. I didn't expect someone to really take this as an opportunity, and not dare to take risks, to steal the tomb of the dog-carrying burial, and steal the ancestral cave of a group of barbarian commoners!"
"Doushuai Palace is richer than our Dragon Race, why are they so greedy for this little profit?" A Dragon King also said lightly.
The juniors of the Doushuai Palace looked at each other, all with helplessness in their eyes.
Cultivators value alchemy the most. Which one of them wasn't held and worshipped when they went out? They could throw away a few pills refined by mistake, which could also be exchanged for assets that others couldn't even think of. But this time, the elder Dan Chenzi who led the team sent by the sect was a famous alchemy fanatic.
This old man burned fire in front of the spiritual treasure alchemy furnace all year round. What kind of dry heaven spiritual flame, southern bright departure fire, heavenly realm pure fire, the fire poison was really not light. Everyone suspected that he had burned his brain, and he didn't understand anything except alchemy.
Two Dao Sect seniors, mixed with a few low-class grave robbers.
They also felt speechless.
It was the turn of the group of old women in Guanghan Palace to pick and choose. They chose a cave entrance that was deep and cold, like a ten-thousand-year ice cave, and let someone hold a jade object of Guanghan Palace and go in side by side with a male cultivator of the Northern Pole Great Brightness Palace.
Qian Chen flipped through the yellow book in his hand. This cave was called the Xuan Yin Cave.
It was not a sacrificial cave or ancestral cave left by the Wa Huang myriad races, but a spiritual cave of heaven and earth in the Ten Thousand Great Mountains, a place of nine Yin, used by barbarians to refine Gu insects, and became a Gu cave.
Inside, twelve of the nineteen peerless fierce Gu in the world were placed.
It was because the barbarians remembered that many fierce objects for refining Gu insects had gradually become extinct since ancient times, and the lifespan of insects was short. In order to preserve the species for refining Gu, they sealed many refined Gu insects and the bloodlines of ancient fierce objects in the cave.
"Guanghan Palace also has some luck, choosing one of the safest caves."
Qian Chen flipped through the back, Ten Fierce Caves, Bottomless Cave, Palace Under the Abyss, etc., were either places where ancient fierce objects were sealed, or places where old heaven Daoist Lords fell, and couldn't help but sigh at their good luck.
Sure enough, after a while, the Yin Spirit elder of Guanghan Palace dragged the remains of the Great Brightness Palace cultivator out. The elder with a cold breath held a jade egg the size of a pearl and sighed: "Daoist Han, for this jade egg of the Great Brightness Butterfly, an ancient relic that has long been extinct in our Earth Immortal Realm, was careless and had half of his body eaten by a fierce insect, and even his Yang Spirit was chewed to pieces!"
The cultivator of the Great Brightness Palace was shocked: "Great Brightness Butterfly? Is it the kind of strange butterfly that is said to lay eggs in the extreme dark, and the eggs cannot see a trace of light for three hundred years, and after hatching, it lives by chasing the sun, and does not leave the sunlight for three hundred years, and then chases the moonlight for three hundred years, and finally transforms into a butterfly?"
"This butterfly can help us practice divine light spells! Whether it is the Tai Yin Absolute Extinction Divine Light or the Sun Slaughtering God Light Ray, they are all magical powers that our Great Brightness Palace has not been able to practice for thousands of years. No wonder Elder Han took such a risk to take the things in the cave."
"Elder Han's Yang Spirit cultivation, how could he be eaten by a fierce insect?" Still others didn't believe it.
The cultivator of the Northern Pole Great Brightness Palace discussed with the left and right, frowned and said: "That fierce insect, could it be the Heaven-Swallowing Toad? It is said that the Great Brightness Butterfly was eaten by this fierce thing. However, the last Heaven-Swallowing Toad in this realm was also caught by someone to refine Gu fifty thousand years ago?"
Qian Chen looked at the booklet and nodded.
The Great Brightness Palace cultivator was not wrong. The strange toad mixed with the last trace of the Heaven-Swallowing Toad bloodline was caught by the Heaven-Gu Feng Xianzi fifty thousand years ago and refined into the strange Gu Moon Phase Heaven-Eroding Gu, ranking 15th on the fierce Gu list, born with the evil energy of the sun and moon in the Earth Immortal Realm, and had the power to erode heaven.
Fortunately, this Gu was sealed in the cave just after it was born, so as to avoid it invading the light of the sun and moon after it was born, and being calculated by the Daoist Lord great powers of the Earth Immortal Realm and removed early.
"The Heaven-Gu Feng Xianzi refined this Gu, it should have been calculated by someone. The person who calculated her, I estimate, wanted to use this Gu to invade the power of the sun and moon after it was completed, and ascend to the sun and moon of the Earth Immortal Realm."
"The original sun and moon of the Earth Immortal Realm are existences of the myriad realms level. The primordial energy released every day is comparable to several sources in the Immortal Realm, and its primordial energy is I fear not inferior to the Immortal Realm."
"It is also the only place where the Dao fruit can be entrusted after the Earth Immortal Realm collapsed."
"Could it be that there are really Daoist Lord existences who secretly entrusted their Dao seeds on it?"
Qian Chen frowned slightly. The sun and moon primordial energy was the only myriad realms-level source after the Earth Immortal Realm declined. Years ago, the Immortal Han used the power of the whole country to refine the Dew-Bearing Plate, just to absorb a trace of the massive spiritual energy released by the sun and moon of the Earth Immortal Realm, which was imperceptible.
Just a trace of sun and moon primordial energy supported the entire Nascent Soul True Immortals of the Immortal Han.
If one really didn't fear the boundless solar true fire and lunar true water and ascended to the sun and moon, I fear it wouldn't be difficult to entrust the Dao seed to nourish the Daoist Lord.
With this Gu's Moon Toad appearance, it shouldn't be plotting against the Great Sun with infinite solar true fire.
That is...
Plotting to ascend to the moon.
Qian Chen thought of the name Guanghan Palace, and suddenly became uncertain. The old women of Guanghan Palace were definitely not randomly chosen. There were definitely some plans. In this way, there would never be one less person plotting to ascend to the moon.
"Ascending to the moon is not simpler than ascending to immortality, and these things cannot be hidden from the Lord of Reincarnation. We will find someone to ask. Among them, the Western Kunlun Mirror must know better than they do themselves."
The old women of Guanghan Palace were all people with extreme temperaments and deviated Dao karma, not worth worrying about, but among the past Guanghan Fairies, there were quite a few peerless geniuses.
It's hard to say that there won't be any heavenly posture, making terrifying plans like ascending to immortality and ascending to the moon.
The Dew-Bearing Plate can reflect the sun and moon. If someone entrusts the Dao seed on the bright moon, then the only thing that can be reflected is the Dew-Bearing Silver Plate.
In this way, the shattering of the Dew-Bearing Silver Plate years ago had even more secrets.
"No wonder the news of the Dew-Bearing Plate's birth was leaked, and those old women of Guanghan Palace didn't let it..."
Qian Chen had always paid attention to Guanghan Palace because he had refined the Tai Yin Absolute Extinction Sword Scripture, and always felt that he had an unclear entanglement with them, entangled all the way to the mirror holder of the Western Kunlun Mirror, simply—inexplicable.
At this moment, a few barks came from the yellow mud dog hole, and a black dog dug out the yellow soil and drilled out.
The old Daoist was on top, his face covered in dust, but he was holding a piece of rotten five-colored clothing tightly in his hand.
Immediately, Seeing Xiao Yu and Big Guy also drilled out. Big Guy was long-limbed, lying on the dog's back, his hands and feet hanging to the ground, as if the black dog had eight legs.
The Jade Jing Shan cultivator saw the three of them covered in dust and extremely embarrassed, and couldn't help sneering: "The fairy of Guanghan Palace brought out an egg of an ancient relic from the cave, making this extinct thing see the light of day again. What can these three soil bastards dig out? Won't it be a few dog bones and broken clothes?"
The Palace Master of Guanghan Palace and the leader of the Great Brightness Palace secretly transmitted their voices, setting the ownership of the Great Brightness Butterfly. It seemed that the two sects wanted to cultivate this relic together, and use this to practice the few divine light spells in the sect that no one had practiced for a long time.
Especially the Ice Soul Divine Light of Guanghan Palace, which was related to the birth of this generation's Guanghan Feng Xianzi, so it could not be sloppy.
In particular, the Ice Soul Divine Light of the Cold Moon Palace is related to the birth of this generation's Cold Moon Feng Xianzi, so it cannot be taken lightly.
"It's actually gold and silver!" Someone among the Southern Jin aristocratic family children said with disdain.
"Wait..."
Someone in Guanghan Palace felt something, and on the starship, Xu Fu, wearing a golden mask, suddenly raised his head: "Tai Yin Silver Soul!"
"Is that an object cast from Tai Yin Silver Soul?"
In Guanghan Palace, there were also people whose eyes were glued to the arms of Seeing Xiao Yu and the three of them. Seeing Xiao Yu turned his back to those scorching eyes, only feeling that the silver cups in his hands were hot. Any trace of power in those eyes felt like it could kill him seven or eight times. He immediately called Big Guy and the old Daoist to throw down the eight or nine silver objects in their arms.
Cast from Tai Yin Silver Soul, whether it was cups, plates, or pots, those precious objects fell to the ground with a clatter, making the people of Guanghan Palace wish they could stick their eyeballs on them.
"Tai Yin Silver Soul is the source of the sun and moon falling when the Earth Immortal Realm was incomplete years ago. Years ago, the Immortal Qin searched the Earth Immortal Realm and had already scraped it clean. I didn't expect that three mere soil-diggers could dig out so many from a dog hole. It's really... heaven's will is hard to predict!" Xu Fu said quietly.
"The Pan Hu clan is rich, actually using this to be buried?" The people of Jade Jing Shan couldn't sit still.
The fox lady of the Northern Border Demon Race shook her head: "The Pan Hu clan is very poor. When the patriarch marries off his daughter, he has to borrow some cups and plates from our fox clan to hold a banquet. How can they be buried with these strange treasures? Even if they sold their clansmen, they couldn't make it up."
"I fear it's not necessarily that they couldn't make it up, but that they never thought about digging these things."
Xu Fu suddenly spoke, which made the Nine Nether demonic path look sideways, and laughed strangely: "Why, you Penglai are more knowledgeable about those Pan Hu tribesmen than our Witch Dao and their demon race?"
"Years ago, Han Wu cast the Dew-Bearing Plate, using solar gold essence, lunar silver soul, and Shou Mountain copper to cast gold, silver, and copper plates. The Shou Mountain copper was melted from countless bronze vessels of the Three Generations Divine Dynasty, destroying countless heavy treasures. Where did the solar gold essence and lunar silver soul come from? Do you all know?"
When Xu Fu said this, Qian Chen couldn't be sleepy anymore.
After the fall of the Immortal Qin, there were not many people who knew more about the secrets of the Earth Immortal Realm than this person. The Dew-Bearing Plate was really related to too many things, and at this time, the gold and copper plates had all fallen into Qian Chen's hands. He was also somewhat curious about the secrets within.
"With the national power of the Great Han, covering the Divine State, although it didn't have the achievements of the Immortal Qin, it's not difficult to search the world and cast a spiritual treasure!"
The Northern Border Demon Race felt the same way.
The Great Han was in power years ago, and their demon race had to hide their heads and show their tails. The remaining power has not dissipated until today. For that Martial Emperor who hunted demons in the Northern Border and defeated the Hu in the North, the demon race had many unclear feelings.
"Hmph! Although Han had achievements, it only occupied one continent. How can it compare to the Immortal Qin that planned the myriad realms? And the Dew-Bearing Plate is by no means a spiritual treasure that can be mentioned in the same breath..."
When Xu Fu said this, he paused intentionally, and his divine sense really detected some subtle emotions among the people of Jade Jing Shan.
But Qian Chen noticed that among the three major forces of Xu Fu, Jade Jing Shan, and Northern Wei, there were some anomalies.
"Sun and Moon reopen the Han Heaven!"
"Could it be that the Immortal Han intended to use the Dew-Bearing Plate as a foundation to reopen a layer of heaven in the Earth Immortal Realm? Is this true?"
Qian Chen recalled the traces he noticed when he refined the Dew-Bearing Plate before his original Nascent Soul died.
"The gold and silver of the Dew-Bearing Plate refined by the Immortal Han mostly came from the Dragon City of the Northern Xiongnu, the captured sacrificial gold men and silver vessels. The sacrificial gold men of the Northern Hu of the Xiongnu were mostly cast with solar gold essence, and a small part came from the old treasury of the Immortal Qin. But the solar gold essence and lunar silver soul of the Immortal Qin also came from the Qu that was broken years ago!"
Xu Fu nodded slightly to Qian Chen and reached out to take the Tai Yin Silver Soul cup on the ground, touching the casting marks of the golden eagle, silver dog, and white horse on the cup wall with his thumb.
"And these silver vessels, their shape is clearly not used by the Pan Hu clan, but is similar to the Xiongnu and Qu. And the Xiongnu tribe has a custom: when the old die, they use a white dog to carry them, wear five-colored clothes, and the dog carries them away, and no one knows where they went. And the nobles of that tribe, when they were born, had white dogs looking for them, often carrying gold and silver. They cast gold and silver into vessels, and those who died of old age were buried with them. Those who died in battle and did not return were cast into sacrificial gold men and silver vessels."
"Qu also has its customs!"
"And the root of this custom comes from the one who broke the Heavenly Zhou Hao Divine Capital tens of thousands of years ago—Quan Rong!"
"So..." Yu Changsheng of Jade Jing Shan said quietly: "The gold and silver of the Immortal Qin, and even the Immortal Han casting the Dew-Bearing Plate, all came from Quan Rong! Pan Hu and Quan Rong both have the custom of dog burial, and their divine dogs gave birth to cubs in this cave, but they would carry treasures like the lunar and solar to run to their masters! Does all the treasure containing the sun and moon origin in the Earth Immortal Realm come from—this dog hole?"
"Is this, not absurd?"
"Could it be that half of the sun and moon of the Earth Immortal Realm are really buried in a dog's belly?"
He just wanted to sneer, but found that Xu Fu didn't laugh, Northern Wei was horrified, Guanghan Palace was silent, and even Qian Chen had a strange expression.
Yu Changsheng recalled an extremely remote legend of the Earth Immortal Realm, and suddenly clenched his fists tightly.
"The sun and moon are really buried in a dog's belly!"
In front of the Ten Thousand Gods Cave, the Nascent Soul Venerables of various Daoist dynasties, demon sects, and dragon races suddenly turned their eyes to the dog hole that was dug out of the yellow mud and didn't know how deep it was. ===== CHAPTER 755 =====
Before the Ten Thousand Gods Grotto, the various Nascent Soul masters—from Daoist dynasties, demon sects, dragon clans, and the overseas and Central Lands—all suddenly turned their gazes toward the dog hole dug out of the yellow mud, which was of unknown depth.
