Chapter 744 The Unknown Enemy(1/2)
The inside was shining silver, and it was filled with small silver things. The small silver things looked like longans.
Longniu is an ordinary insect and can be seen everywhere in the Southern Dynasties and Northern Wei, but in Dangxiang and the Western Regions, it can only be seen in a few warm basins.
Gulbu carefully picked up one with bamboo pieces. The silver celestial beef was not light, as if it was solid, and it gave him the feeling that it was made of extremely skilled craftsmen with extremely careful silver carvings, which was vivid. But what he couldn't understand was that every silver celestial beef in this box seemed to be different, not only had slight differences in size, but also had different postures.
What kind of wise craftsman would he love this kind of insect so much and make a full box of this silver long beef?
"This thing has different shapes and is so lifelike, it seems like someone has transformed a layer of silver on this kind of bull." Xia Baying also felt strange.
"This silver seems a bit special. I know that some Western Regions dynasties like to treat beetles as a splendid object, but they have never seen any records about this kind of bull among many classics. I don't know what its unique significance is." The Dharma King Zance looked at Lin Yi, Bai Yuelu and others and were puzzled, so he asked Songren to pass on the box of things first.
The horns on the heads of these oxen are of different shapes. The horns look very slender and easy to break, and there is no joint between the horns and the oxen body. If they are really made by craftsmen, it would be really ingenious.
At this time, several of his disciples were controlling him outside, so he was not worried that these things would be accidentally damaged after being sent out.
Although this box of small things cannot even see the history of his own teacher, the more so, the more excited the two monks, Gurbu and Songren, are. For them, the things they have known and seen cannot make them more happy, but the more unknown things they have, the more they can get in touch with.
With a light click, Gulbu pulled out a pin and opened the second bronze box.
The age of this bronze box seems to be older and not well preserved. The patterns on the bronze box are covered with mottled patina, and there is no way to see what kind of pattern is under the patina.
In this box, there was a piece of clay-like thing, but the color was very strange, with red, green, blue and purple intertwined, like a rainbow.
"Is this the Medicine Emperor Land?"
Lin Yi was stunned for a moment, and then blurted out. He had read a record in this rumor that there was a spiritual medicine called Medicine King Flower on some near-shore islands in the East China Sea. In addition to containing a large amount of spiritual energy in heaven and earth, this spiritual medicine helps the magnificent sea of qi and also belongs to the best among the spiritual medicine. This Medicine King Flower only grows on the Medicine King soil. This Medicine King soil is said to be naturally formed by the silt under the sea and the volcanic eruption, and it only exists in a small amount on those islands.
"I didn't expect General Lin to be so knowledgeable."
The Dharma King Zance looked at Lin Yi with some surprise and said, "This is indeed the land of Medicine Emperor. In the Western Regions, this is also called the five-color earth. General Lin, you know that this land of Medicine Emperor is only produced in several special islands in the East China Sea of the Southern Dynasties. Originally, those islands were blocked by your southern dynasties, and Medicine Emperor Flowers were also imperial products. However, in the chaotic times before the two dynasties, some people stole and dig it. Later, some people discovered that as long as the land of Medicine Emperor is dug, even elsewhere, as long as the spiritual energy, temperature and water vapor are suitable, and the seeds of the seeds of the medicine Emperor Flowers can be planted artificially. In this way, the land of Medicine Emperor was also stolen. According to the exact record, the land of Medicine Emperor is only a few dozen kilograms, and most of them were purchased by a merchant in the Western Regions, so there were quite a lot of land that flowed into the Western Regions."
After pausing, he looked at the piece of soil that was as color as a rainbow with some regret and said, "This piece of Medicine Emperor Land has at least six or seven kilograms, which is quite amazing. However, the Medicine Emperor Flower has long been extinct. I have never heard of this Medicine Emperor Land that can cultivate other kinds of spiritual medicines. Even if it has such an amazing amount, it is a waste."
Lin Yi nodded, and naturally felt a pity that it was just natural disasters and man-made disasters. Throughout the dynasties, I don’t know how many amazing things have disappeared from the world. Even in this spiritual wasteland, I don’t know how many spiritual medicines are going to be completely extinct.
This box of Medicine Emperor Land was also handed out. Regardless of whether it was useful or not at this time, these things that had only been seen in some monsters and monsters appeared in front of them, which was truly eye-opening.
While speaking, Gurb opened two more boxes, and none of them recognized the things in these two boxes, including Lin Yi, Zance, and others, and sent them all out.
One of these two boxes is pure silver and the other is pure gold.
The box of sterling silver is also lined with a white jade mat. Five small things like melon seeds are tied with cowhide strings on the white jade mat. This small thing like melon seeds looks neither gold nor iron, nor stone, but its weight is almost the same as gold and iron, which is very strange.
The pure gold box is covered with flying fish patterns, but it is filled with snow-white translucent scale-like things, exuding a strange and faint frankincense.
For Gulbu, who was unboxing, today was a variety of strange things. When the fifth box was opened, he was stunned again, with a gentle red light emitted from it, all of which were round beads.
The bead does not look hard on the surface, like a layer of rubber, and it seems to be filled with liquid, giving people the feeling of a fruit and a large fish roe.
It was obviously impossible to see the things in history, but at this moment, there were bursts of marvelous sounds outside.
"What's going on outside?" Xia Baying suddenly became curious. She knew that it was very likely that someone outside recognized the origin of the previous things, and there should be something good in it. Otherwise, if it was the medicine land like the Medicine Emperor Land that had become a useless, it would not seem that such a thing would cause.
Songren immediately sent the fifth box, but at the same time brought back a monk who was younger than him.
The monk bowed to Zance Dharma King, Lin Yi, Xia Baying and others, unable to hide his excitement, and said, "In addition to the five small things in the sterling silver box, the silver bull-shaped things and the things in the sterling gold box have been judged by someone."
"What are they? Tell me quickly." The Dharma King Zance was also very happy.
"The silver bullock-shaped thing is called worm silver, which is transformed from a different kind of bullock. The bullock is actually produced by our Dangxiang. It is in the Kuobajing Hot Spring area. This bullock is no different from the ordinary bullock when it is an adult. However, it likes to eat hot springs. The pulp of that plant is rich in unique heavy silver. The lifespan of this bullock is much longer than that of ordinary bullocks. After sucking for four or five years, its body will gradually become rigid and all become this heavy silver texture. After it dies, this heavy silver slowly penetrates, and its whole body will be like this silver cast."
The monk said happily: "The one who recognizes this strange thing is a worshiper of the Yeli clan. He said this thing is extremely rare, but in fact, the main material of the anti-scale magic weapon refined by his subordinates is this kind of insect silver. The reverse scale made of this kind of insect silver has a unique characteristic of flowing against the true essence. If it penetrates into the body of a practitioner, the true essence in the practitioner's body will spontaneously repel and impact it, and instead accelerate the backflow of this magic weapon, and instantly, it will repulse into the heart at an astonishing speed."
"The anti-scaling of the Demon Sect is actually made of this kind of thing?" Lin Yi and Bai Yuelu were shocked.
"Why, you are very familiar with this magic weapon?" Xia Baying looked at the two of them so surprised, a little puzzled. She had never heard of such things as the reverse scale.
"When it comes to familiarity, I'm afraid even those who have reverse scales are not as familiar as him." Bai Yuelu couldn't help but shake her head and said.
Lin Yi nodded.
This is indeed not a boast. Those subordinates of the Demon Sect who possessed the Negative Scale should not have fallen into Negative Scale like him. I don’t know what it feels like to walk in flesh and blood.
"So, it seems that you have even been hit by this kind of magic weapon?" Xia Baying guessed when she looked at him. When she heard that this magic weapon could move against the true energy, she could imagine the terrible level. But she knew that Lin Yi was not an ordinary practitioner, and there was no big surprise at this time.
"This kind of magic weapon is extremely powerful. Even a practitioner at the peak of the divine consciousness realm, if he does not have special means, he will die." Bai Yuelu said: "It's just that this kind of magic weapon was not refined many, and the Demon Sect's tribes were not many."
"Since we have the main material, I don't know if we can imitate it." Xia Baying glanced at her, "Is there any sample of this reverse scale?"
"Yes, and even our Tie Ce Army's ordnances are imitated by the Chengtian number." Bai Yuelu said: "When the Tie Ce Army arrives at Hongqi's territory, I will try to contact the Chengtian number. Then let the craftsmen who imitate the Good Fordnances come over. They must have studied the reverse scale."
"That's great." Xia Baying's eyes turned to the monk, who was also agile and immediately continued: "The thing in the pure gold box looks like fish scales, but it is actually not fish scales, but the bones of a flying fish in an underground river. The fish is called the Nephrite Flying Fish. In the rivers of some large caves, this fish can soar out and rush to eat flying insects. The carved patterns on the box are their flying looks. This fish is very strange. Except for the fine thorns on both wings, there is only such a bone in its head."
"The bone pieces of this flying fish do not have a large amount of spiritual energy that can improve the cultivation level of the world, but it contains a large amount of unique spiritual energy that can change the true energy characteristics of the cultivator. As long as a sufficient number of these flying fish bone pieces are refined, the true energy of the cultivator will be greatly increased when using some ice-cold energy methods." The monk seemed a little unbelievable. After pausing, he said: "This is what a royal family in the Western Regions coalition said. He said that the reason he knew was that there was a princess in their kingdom who happened to have obtained some, but the number was not enough, so after refining, it did not become the recorded ice-skin fairy bones, but they had confirmed what this thing was back then."
"Ice Skin Fairy Bone?"
Bai Yuelu frowned slightly. However, the four words she had also seen in some ancient books in the Northern Wei Palace. "Is this thing also called Xianling Jade?"
"Why, have you seen relevant records?" Lin Yi said curiously: "Is this thing analect name for fairy jade?"
Bai Yuelu said: "I have only seen records that a kind of fairy jade itself is not cold, but combined with the true essence of the practitioner can not only maintain its appearance, but also condense the spiritual charm in the true essence, and use the coldest true essence means."
"Is there an nickname for fairy jade? Whether the two are the same, I will go out to ask later." The monk said respectfully: "The Western Regions royal family said that this kind of flying fish bone piece can be swallowed and refined like an ordinary spiritual medicine. But he cannot be sure how many of these flying fish bone pieces need to be refined to form ice-skin fairy bone bones."
"Then you will know what's going on after a try."
Xia Baying sighed and looked at Lin Yi and said, "This thing can only be cheaper for you. If anyone among you refined it to form the Ice Skin Fairy Bone, it would be unnecessary, so I can give it to me again."
Lin Yi was slightly stunned and said, "You give up on this too?"
Xia Baying smiled and said, "Of course I am not happy, but what I practice is the true energy method of controlling fire. Could it be that after so many years of hard practice, can't I change the method and re-cultivate it for these things?"
"Then thank you for this great gift." Lin Yi was not confused. The Tuoba family's wealth of treasures was far beyond their imagination. The few boxes at the mouth had already gained a lot, and he didn't know what amazing treasures would appear after all the things were counted.
At this moment, an urgent voice came from outside, "Xifeng Tianqi Sheng asked to see General Lin. He found the remnants of Tuoba's family in the tunnel under the city. It was suspected that Tuoba Xiongxin had already fought."
"Um?"
Xia Baying's eyes flashed violently, and she turned around and walked out first. Lin Yi, Bai Yuelu and others followed closely behind. Tian Qisheng and several generals of the Xifeng clan were waiting outside with anxious expressions.
Tian Qisheng and Lin Yi were already very familiar with each other. When he saw Lin Yi coming out, he did not politely and said repeatedly: "There are not many, and it seems that there are less than a hundred people, but there are many powerful practitioners among them. Xiaofeng Yingming's subordinates blocked the tunnel, and many were killed and injured, but they could not do anything to them for the time being."
"Where are they underground now?" Lin Yi raised his eyebrows and asked immediately.
Tian Qisheng immediately said: "It's in an underground cave not far west of the city lord's mansion."
"Then let's continue to count the antiquities here." Xia Baying said this to the Zance and Galdan behind him, then turned to look at Lin Yi: "Let's go over and take a look?"
"Let's go over and take a look first." Lin Yi nodded, but his brows were already frowning unconsciously: "If it were Tuoba Xiongxin, if he stayed underground in the city and did not leave, he might have some strange means."
"Do you lead the way or are there other people leading the way?" Xia Baying glanced at Tian Qisheng, asked this first, and then said, "Everyone sits in my Fire Pagoda, this is the most convenient."
"Don't you save some true energy?" Lin Yi originally wanted to say this, but when he spoke, he instantly realized that Xia Baying had traded with General Achai Zhun in Tuyuhun and obtained a lot of Tianxin Bodhi. Previously, Xia Baying used the flame pagoda to send him to the top of the army of Xiaofeng Yingming. Originally, the true energy had been consumed severely, but at this time, Xia Baying's body was still full, and he must have taken this spiritual medicine.
Tian Qisheng did not expect this level. He subconsciously felt that the true essence was precious. Even if he only brought one more person, Xia Baying's true essence was getting worse. So he immediately echoed, "No one needed to lead the way. At the few authentic entrances over there, the person who sealed Yingming had already ignited a flame, which was easy to see from the air."
...
The flames that were burning with the faint green flames rose into the air again.
Amidst the cheers and shouts, the flame pagoda was like being dragged quickly by an invisible giant, bringing out long flame marks in the air.
An indescribable arrogance was condensed in Xia Baying's eyebrows.
Every time she is above the Fire Futu, when the Fire Futu is swaying up, she is more proud than when she is on the ground.
Dangxiang has an ancient proverb that only a real man can soar in the sky like an eagle.
The original intention of this sentence in Dangxiang is that any man must strive to be an eagle, have the courage to fight against wind and snow, have a magnificent mind, do not be limited to the small world in front of him, and do not be a pitiful man curled up on the ground.
However, Dang Xiang's words abandoned all Dang Xiang's women from the beginning.
In Dangxiang, women are born humble and have no status at all.
But Xia Baying just didn't accept it.
The Shaba tribe's flame pagoda was made by her hand. She wanted to tell all Dangxiang people that women can fly in the sky like real eagles!
"No matter whether there is Tuoba Xiongxin or not among those people, he had formed an alliance with Xifeng Yingming earlier and asked Xifeng Yingming to arrange this under Daerban City, and there was always a problem." Bai Yuelu's voice sounded.
What Tian Qisheng said was right. Looking down from the sky, there were several bright bonfires on the west side of the city lord's mansion, and many black-armored soldiers gathered in that area, which was very conspicuous.
“What’s the problem?”
Lin Yi also vaguely felt something was wrong at this time, but he didn't think much about it anymore. He knew that Bai Yuelu must have figured out something, so he asked directly.
"Under normal circumstances, why did Tuoba Xiongxin ask Xifeng Yingming to arrange it in the tunnel under the city? Unless he had already expected that a large army would attack Daerban City, and Daerban City might not be able to defend it at all, so Xifeng Yingming's army needed to attack from the underground."
Bai Yuelu said: "But looking at the entire Dangxiang, he would think who would lead his army to defeat Daerban City? Even if he knew that Xiabaying had personally fought, he knew that the Xiaba clan coalition had entered the territory of the Yeli clan, and he would never think that we and Xifeng Hongqi would be together with her for a long time. He would take a step back and say that even if he expected something like a god and knew that the Xiaba clan and our coalition, would he feel that Daerban City could not stop our coalition at all?"
Lin Yi and Xia Baying looked at each other, and both frowned, thinking that Bai Yuelu’s words were indeed very reasonable.
"Tuoba Xiongxin doesn't know much about you."
Bai Yuelu looked at Lin Yi, shook her head, and said, "So he would never have thought that a cultivator like you could collapse his cultivators and army so quickly. When we first entered the city, he obviously didn't think that Xia Baying was very much. He obviously disdained the power of the Xia Ba tribe. He would not think that the Xia Ba tribe's coalition forces could break through Daerban City and needed to attack with the Xifeng Yingming army."
Hearing this, Xia Baying frowned even deeper, and she said with a hint of cold voice: "So do you think he arranged his name in advance and fine seal in this way, as if he was facing a great enemy. Is it the enemy he was going to face before that was not us, but someone else?"
"I always felt something was wrong before, and I had really figured out these things. The most problematic part of this matter was that he had made such arrangements several months in advance. A few months ago, even your Xiaba tribe had no abnormal movements. I am afraid that even the army of General Achaizhun, who had formed an alliance with you, had not entered the territory of Dangxiang. Then why did he have to alliance with Xifeng Yingming first, and even be prepared to break the city?" Bai Yuelu also said solemnly: "So he seconded almost all the powerful practitioners of Tantric Buddhism early on. His actions... need the support of many powerful practitioners. The opponent he was originally planning to face should not be us."
"So it's very likely that the enemy he was waiting for had not arrived yet, but had waited for us." Xia Baying thought about the scene where the army that had previously sealed Yingming was hiding in the snow field and then swarmed in like a tide. Her eyes unconsciously narrowed into a line, "But as you said, looking at the entire Dangxiang, it seems that no one can make him need to deal with it like this."
"Will it be that person again?"
To be continued...
