Chapter 951: Peering into the Heavenly Divine Eye, Receiving Heavenly Meng
Since Qian Chen opened this universe with the Dao Dust Bead, the True and Spirit realms were divided. Twelve Si Chen opened the Dao path, and there were also gods of the Jiazi number residing below them.
It is just that Qian Chen descended as the Creator, and now the universe has not yet opened for one hundred thousand years, and the gods below the Si Chen have not yet returned to their positions.
The cultivation path of this realm is still in ignorance. The so-called cultivators, one step one hurdle, one turn one realm, are all relying on the phases of the Si Chen, stealing spiritual medicine from the infinite illusions of the spirit realm to achieve the longevity method.
Therefore, this universe takes the path as the first and spiritual medicine as the second. And spiritual medicine hides in the True and Spirit realms, rarely appearing in the world.
Spiritual medicine steals the essence of heaven and earth, hides the essence of creation, is tabooed by ghosts and gods, and is formed by the creation of heaven and man. Therefore, it is protected by ghosts and monsters, and protected by the Si Chen of ghosts and gods. Touching it will inevitably lead to disaster, so one must first obtain its method to approach and take it.
There are many cultivators in the world who rely on their own spiritual light to observe the phantom steps to ascend the spirit, or fall into the truth in the great destruction, seeking medicine in these two realms.
Such professional inheritance is long-standing and has various sayings.
The Eight Outer Gates that have risen in Dagu in recent years have such inheritance.
Seeking medicine and picking medicine, logically speaking, should be the Skin Gate (selling medicine and seeing patients), but the seeking medicine trade intercepts the creation of heaven and earth and steals the essence of the true spirit. Its essence is a "steal" word.
Therefore, this trade belongs to the head of the Eight Outer Gates—the Steal Gate.
And it is the most mysterious branch of the Steal Gate, leading the crowd and crowning the thieves—the Sage Steal.
Stealing the heaven and earth is too shocking. Since it was passed down by the True Man of Nanhua, Zhuangzi, cultivators through the ages have all wanted to become this great thief, so they are also envied by heaven.
Therefore, the inheritance of this branch in the Steal Gate has gradually scattered and sunk to the lower ranks.
Now, such a group of people has lost the Sage's heart of stealing the heaven and earth, and instead makes a living by stealing heavenly spirits and earthly treasures in exchange for money.
These people rely on their eyesight in Dagu, where goods from all directions and specialties from north and south gather, to inquire about the existence of heavenly spirits and earthly treasures, and then take them with their skills, called "Treasure-Hunting."
Among the mountain-walking guests in the Northeast, finding treasure medicine is called "Leading the Sheep," and the leader is the "Sheep Herder."
In the south, there are usually Earth Masters who are proficient in feng shui, taking treasure by looking at the land, called "Spirit-Looking."
In Dagu, among the treasure-hunting trade, there is such an expert who dominates the leader, called Dou the Dou Dou Xiayan.
Dou the Dou Dou Xiayan was not originally blind; he even had a pair of divine eyes.
People all say that his pair of eyes was his grandfather, the generation of feng shui master Dou the Earth Master, who visited thousands of mountains and found a strange dragon cave of the Overlord Unloading Armor, wanting to offer it to a noble person in exchange for family wealth.
But unexpectedly, Dou the Earth Master's skill in finding dragons and stepping on land was first-class, but his ability in the Jianghu plate was a bit poor.
Therefore, he entrusted the wrong person.
The noble person got the dragon cave and also wanted to silence him, so he gave Dou the Earth Master a family wealth, and seventeen members of the family died unnatural deaths.
Dou the Earth Master, who had faked his death to escape the disaster, hurriedly rushed back and only had time to save the last little grandson before fleeing into the Jianghu without a trace.
And that dragon cave was even more drained of dragon marrow by Dou the Earth Master at the cost of his entire cultivation.
The things that followed were already Jianghu rumors!
Legend has it that after Dou the Earth Master escaped, he pointed the dragon marrow that gathered the essence of the dragon vein creation into his little grandson's eyes, creating that pair of divine eyes that peer into heaven, but also created a great sin. Not only did Dou the Earth Master himself not die a good death in his later years, but it also implicated Dou the Dou Dou Xiayan, who lost his luck.
That noble person's family naturally broke their family gate, and after only three years, they attracted the great crime of rebellion and were exterminated to the third clan.
Before Dou the Earth Master died, it is said that his whole body was covered in poisonous sores, wailing like a dragon all day long. Before he died, he called Dou the Dou Dou Xiayan to his front and said: "An Earth Master follows heaven and obeys fate, receiving the favor of mountains and rivers. But I harmed a dragon vein for my own selfish interests. This will inevitably receive heavenly condemnation!"
"I used my life's cultivation to point a pair of divine eyes for you, which should have been divine eyes that peer into heaven, seeing all the wind and water of heaven and the spiritual pivot of the earth."
"But if you enter the Wind Gate, you will inevitably not live past ten years under the entanglement of evil qi in the earth!"
"Now, among the three talents, you are hated by heaven and abandoned by earth, and can only mix in the human world. Moreover, your destiny is broken and cannot hold wealth. After I die, you will go north to Dagu and rely on this pair of divine eyes to distinguish things and hunt for treasure! After you have money, you must spend it within three days, no matter how much money it is, it cannot stay in your hands for more than seven days. Then, do not marry, do not have children. In this way, with the five evils and three lacks, you should be able to protect your life smoothly and not be bitten back!"
"Remember, remember... this treasure can only be taken among people, and cannot be contaminated with heavenly spirits and earthly treasures, the creation of heaven and earth!"
After the explanation, Dou the Earth Master passed away.
Dou the Dou Dou Xiayan followed the will and buried his grandfather in a poor and desperate place with broken feng shui, and went straight to Dagu by boat alone.
Sure enough, he mixed well by relying on those eyes.
Although he couldn't save any money, he was carefree by relying on reselling treasures and spending money like water.
People knew his destiny was bad and he couldn't save wealth, so they didn't plot the little money in his hands, which fulfilled his grandfather's calculation.
But Dou the Treasure-Hunter was carefree for half his life, but when he reached old age, he finally fell into a big trap over a woman.
He was originally smart and clever, with quite a bit of understanding, and practiced in the treasure-hunting trade, but he was a bit better than his blue, especially after taking three extremely extraordinary treasures, he was even more of a generation of masters in the treasure-hunting trade.
But when he reached old age, he finally wanted to leave a line of incense.
Relying on the three treasures in his hands to make up for his own luck and suppress the fate of his descendants, it was not impossible to give up a pair of eyes in exchange for a wisp of incense.
But Dou the Dou Dou Xiayan was too capable, so he wasn't satisfied with just that.
So he took the three treasures he was most proud of in his life—the Qin King Bone-Reflecting Mirror, the Sea Meeting White Jade Cup, and the Moon-Reflecting Flowing Bright Pearl—wanting to take a treasure that could encompass the creation of heaven and earth and make people become immortals and gods.
The result was naturally a bamboo basket drawing water, losing his wife, losing his child, and even the group of thieves he had under him that spread across three mountains and five mountains were buried in that secret realm.
Only he was carried out by a large black donkey.
And he was blind in his eyes.
It is said that he only took one look at that treasure, and a pair of divine eyes that peer into heaven were ruined.
As for now—the original Dou the Great Treasure-Hunter had become an idler in Dagu City, riding a large black donkey backward all day long, supporting himself with a bamboo pole, and making a living by begging. Every day as long as he begged for food, he would support the bamboo pole, ride the donkey, and go to the south of the city to listen to people playing cards and fighting crickets.
That pair of divine eyes seemed to be covered by a layer of gray-white dead fog, no longer having the divine spirit of yesteryear.
Even the name Dou the Great Treasure-Hunter was forgotten by people, only calling him Dou the Dou Dou Xiayan!
Dou the Dou Dou Xiayan was also scared out of his wits by the fighting of evil guests from north and south in Dagu City the day before yesterday.
He was a blind man and couldn't walk without that old donkey that knew the way. Unexpectedly, fire broke out all over Dagu City that day, scaring the old donkey into lifting the pole of the donkey shed and escaping for its life!
Dou the Dou Dou Xiayan was almost burned to death in his dilapidated nest.
He was blind in both eyes, his skills were mostly ruined, and he suffered for a night before waiting for the donkey to return by itself. He hurriedly led the donkey and left the city toward the southeast.
He walked along the Southern Grand Canal, and finally found a lively place. It seemed that a temple fair was being held. His ears were full of shouting and gongs and drums, with martial arts performers and acrobats in one place, and fortune tellers and medicine sellers in another.
Dou the Dou Dou Xiayan searched, thinking that since people were holding a temple fair, they wouldn't be short of his meal, so he got off the donkey, supported himself with a broken bamboo pole, and searched toward the literary trade.
It was also a coincidence.
This Yang Liuqing temple fair was set up between the Medicine King Temple and the True Martial Temple.
Any literary trade with less movement liked quietness, because the most things bought at the temple fair were medicine, so they all leaned toward the Medicine King Temple side.
Those martial arts performers who sang and performed acrobatics, relying on the word "martial," naturally leaned toward the True Martial Temple.
Dou the Dou Dou Xiayan searched toward the Medicine King Temple, walking on the edge of the temple fair venue, and heard a person...
Thirty-something, dressed like a farmer.
He spread a piece of white cloth on the ground, then squatted down and shouted: "Come and see my treasure! Come and see my treasure!"
Dou the Dou Dou Xiayan had hunted for treasure all his life. Hearing "treasure," he naturally stopped and followed some people to watch what treasure he had.
The man took out a silk bundle from his waist, with a human-head-sized lump bulging inside.
Dou the Dou Dou Xiayan sniffed, and he smelled what he was planning.
The man pointed to the bundle and said: "This treasure, I picked it up by the sea, it has great use. I'll open it for everyone to see."
Saying this, he opened the bundle and saw a stone covered with countless small holes.
In the dense stone holes, dozens of small toads were crawling. They were lifelike, making people's scalps numb.
Everyone thought this thing was very strange. Someone gathered the courage to step forward and found that those small toads were all stone, and didn't know what it was.
"I picked up this thing and didn't know what it was, but I asked many people to look at it before I knew it was a sea treasure. It was pulled out by a large whale in the sea after eating a sea monster, called Dragon Saliva Fragrance..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by someone.
"Dragon Saliva Fragrance? That is a treasure of what kind? You take it to the medicine shop, and a finger of incense can easily sell for a hundred taels of silver. Who can you sell it to here?" An idler in the crowd shouted loudly.
The man had a bitter face: "If it were really a mature incense, I would have made a fortune!"
"But when Dragon Saliva Fragrance first comes out, it is raw incense, and it must be soaked in the sea for a hundred years to become mature incense. My piece of sea treasure is raw incense turning into mature incense, which was targeted by a nest of sea toads, who made a nest inside, eating, drinking, and defecating, ruining it!"
He cupped his hands and said: "These sea toads specialize in eating incense medicine. After eating it, their skin secretes oil. Those who eat too much are sealed by the oil and become stone toads." ===== CHAPTER 952 =====
"But when ambergris first comes out, it is raw incense; it must soak in the sea for a hundred years to become mature incense. This piece of sea treasure I have was just when the raw incense was turning mature, when a nest of sea toads set their eyes on it, made a nest inside, and ate, drank, shat, and pissed all over it, ruining it completely!"
He cupped his hands and said: "These sea toads are obsessed with eating fragrant medicine; after eating it, their skin secretes oil. Those that eat too much get sealed up by the oil and turn into stone toads."
