Chapter 862 as a sacrifice
Qin Hong followed Qing Yunzi and flew forward slowly.
He deliberately showed a look of surprise on his face and exclaimed loudly: "Master, what is this place? Why is the fairy spirit so rich?"
Qingyunzi said coldly: "This is Qingyun inner palace."
Qin Hong said: "Master, since you have such a good world, you can stay here for a long time to practice! No wonder you have such a high skill. It turns out that it is because of such a good place."
Qingyunzi said indifferently: "How can such a good thing be like this! When your master left in the past, he called me over and gave me this wooden demon cave, but he didn't allow me to practice here. I could only come in every ten thousand years, open the Zhenyuan Ding, and harvest 180 Qingyun Pills and 36 Qingyun Pills. Then I have to go out quickly."
Qin Hong suddenly asked, "Master, have the master left?"
Qing Yunzi's mouth twitched, his eyebrows trembled, and he said, "I don't know. I haven't seen him for a long time. But I feel like he's looking at me somewhere."
Qin Hong's heart was also a little scared. If someone was quietly staring at him, it would definitely feel bad.
Qing Yunzi led the way. After flying for half an hour, he saw a high mountain in front of him, and there was a green palace on the top of the mountain.
When I came close to it, I saw the three words "Wuzhuangguan" written on the lintel of the highest palace!
The entire palace covers an area of hundreds of acres, but it is empty!
Qin Hong's eyes turned, trying to find the statue of Zhen Yuanzi, but he did not see it.
Generally speaking, if the great immortal leaves an incarnation, he often needs to use the statue, either a golden body and a jade carving, or a clay sculpture and wood carving, as the body that the incarnation depends on.
Incarnation is different from clones. If it is a clone, even if it does not have a real body, it must be reshaped like Nezha, relying on lotus roots to reshape.
Incarnation is equivalent to image, and the ability to carry is limited, and its main function is perception and education.
Even the top emperor can only have more than ten clones, but can have billions of incarnations.
For example, the thirteen heads of the Emperor of Heaven have thirteen clones; the eleven heads of the Emperor of Earth have nine clones; the nine heads of the Emperor of Humanity have nine clones. Qin Di had eight clones in his previous life, and in this life, there were only two clones in Qin Hong and Qin Li.
After Qin Di became the emperor, he studied this question. Why couldn’t the emperor evolve into countless clones? As a result, he found that this was because of the constraints of the way of heaven. How many clones a person can have is related to the number of great ways he masters. For every 30,000 extra great ways, one more clone can be added.
For example, when Qin Di was at his heyday, he mastered 540,000 great roads and could have up to 18 clones.
At this time, although Qin Hong could not see the statue of Zhen Yuanzi, he did not dare to be careless because the palace was very large and the statue might be hidden in the underground palace.
He followed Qing Yunzi into the hall and saw a three-legged cauldron in the hall, which was golden in color and covered with various Taoist patterns. The cauldron has eight sides, which depict the Eight Trigrams respectively. There are two holes on the cauldron cover, which faintly sucks and fog.
When he arrived here, Qing Yunzi's smile increased.
He said in a warm tone: "This is the Zhenyuan Ding left by your master. It is a ninth-level peak immortal weapon. It can gather the Jiuhua Qi and condense it into Qingyun Pill and Qingyun Big Pill. However, every time you want to turn it on, you need a sacrifice... Biyun, you are the disciple of the master, it's time for you to give back to your master!"
Qin Hong pretended to be frightened and jumped up suddenly: "Master, what do you mean?"
Qing Yunzi said, "Since you have come here, you will not respond to the call of Tiantian, and the call of Didi is not effective! Don't struggle anymore! Do you jump in on your own initiative? Or do you ask me to catch you, seal your energy, and then throw you into the cauldron?"
Qin Hong deliberately looked like earth, and his whole body trembled.
He still endured it and did not have an attack because he didn't know where Zhen Yuanzi's incarnation was.
Qingyunzi said: "Biyun, the reason why I kept you is for today's convenience. You'd better be honest and obedient and stop thinking about evil ways. Your destiny has long been destined..."
Qin Hong gritted his teeth and said, "Master, you are so cruel!" He jumped and jumped into the small hole on the cover of the tripod!
Although it is a peak immortal weapon at the ninth level and can refine ordinary immortal kings and immortal kings, Qin Hong is a divine formation master and a magical artifact master. Even if he enters the big cauldron, he can still move around and move!
He jumped into the cauldron to hide himself in the dark, quietly watch the movements around him, and see if Zhen Yuanzi's incarnation would emerge.
When Qingyunzi saw him jumping in honestly, he couldn't help laughing, saying, "Biyun, I will tell you something, Ling Zun was forced to jump into the cauldron in the past! That year, the teacher got a lot of Qingyun Pills and Qingyun Pills, two or three times more than in previous years! Unfortunately, your skills are too weak... There are too many people who escaped from Qingyun Palace, and the teacher has no choice, so he forced you to sacrifice to the cauldron..."
Qin Hong shouted in the cauldron: "You old thief, you must die a good death!"
Hearing this, Qingyunzi laughed constantly.
Qin Hong entered the space of the cauldron and saw a high wall around him, with dense Taoist patterns and many niches.
He didn't see the flames, and felt that this big cauldron was very strange. If it were an ordinary alchemy cauldron, there would be a blazing fairy fire inside, burning wildly and refining all things.
But there is no flame here, and there is a black old vine at the bottom of the cauldron!
As soon as Qin Hong came in, the old vines began to sprout, and countless tiny branches emerged, stretching towards Qin Hong, trying to pierce the branches into his body!
If someone else is a person who is entangled with branches, it will not take long to die completely!
However, Qin Hongyi was not afraid. Before the branches were stretched out, she flew over and slapped the black old vine with a palm, passing over a piece of "Shen Wood Binding Heavenly Art".
This move is like a tofu in brine, with a miraculous effect. The branches quickly stopped and then slowly collected them back.
Then Qin Hong slapped dozens of palms on the old vine, temporarily sealed it with the "Sky Shackles of Heaven", and at the same time sent a message: "Don't resist! When I leave, I will pass on your "Shen Wood Magic Skill" to help you become a Shen Wood!"
Lao Shuveng did not struggle, but sent a divine sense: "I am the peak of the ninth level of Tian Yao Vine. It has been sealed in the cauldron by Zhen Yuanzi for five million years! I don't ask for promotion to the divine level, I just want you to let me out!"
Qin Hong said: "I can take you away and let you get freedom. But I want to ask you, has Zhen Yuanzi left an incarnation? Where is his incarnation hidden?"
Lao Shuteng replied: "The incarnation of Zhen Yuanzi appears every ten thousand years. The last time I came, three thousand years ago, and soon left."
"What did he do when he comes back here?"
"He has two purposes when he comes back. One is to take some of the pills, and the other is to recite the 'Zhenyuan Mantra', hoping to refine me and replace the fairy lotus as his body. Once he has a physical body, his incarnation will have hope of breaking through the Immortal Emperor, waiting for the opportunity to come, and thus transform into a clone."
"So, his incarnation does not have the cultivation level of the Immortal Emperor?"
"For some reason, he was bound by the laws of heaven and could not use the magic power of the Immortal Emperor."
Although Qin Hong didn't know whether what Lao Shuteng said was reliable, he thought that there was no immortal emperor in this world now, and there was not even a ninth-level immortal king. Once he became a ninth-level immortal king, he would rush to the Golden Immortal Realm and go to the Daluo Realm!
There is naturally a reason for this! It is not only a problem of resource limitation, but also a constraint on the way of heaven!
In other words, although there is a saying about the Eight Horoscope Realm, these eight parallel universes are divided into levels. This world may be at the bottom of the Eight Horoscope Realm. It is like a small world, and it is difficult to raise a true dragon in shallow water, so those great emperors have left, and even if they leave their incarnations, their skills will not be too high.
Thinking of this, Qin Hong felt a little relaxed.
Then he thought: "Although Zhen Yuanzi is the great emperor, he majored in the "The True Sutra of Earth Immortals". He mastered the great way but was not extensive. He would not have too many clones. At most, he had nine clones like the Human Emperor. Those clones were sent elsewhere and did not stay in this world. As long as the clones are immortal, the incarnation will be subject to the laws of heaven and cannot be transformed into clones... This is like an enrollment quota. Only when one clone falls can one be added..."
"The question now is, where has Zhen Yuanzi's incarnation been now? Where can he settle down besides returning here regularly? With such a rich spiritual energy here not absorbed, what will he do when he runs outside?"
"Maybe because of his limited ability, he was unable to break through the Immortal Emperor, and no matter how much immortal spirit he absorbed, it was useless. So he just went outside to travel and realize the Tao? His realm was limited, but his enlightenment was not limited. For the emperor, enlightenment was more important than improving his skills... Besides, he came back to take some of the elixirs..."
Thinking of the Qingyun Pill, Qin Hong couldn't help but ask Lao Shuteng: "Where is the Qingyun Pill refined by Zhenyuan Ding?"
Lao Shuteng replied, "Here, it's in those niches."
Qin Hong looked around and saw hundreds of niches on the wall of the cauldron, some big and small, sunken inward, each of which was carved with runes.
Instead of exploring the Qingyun Pill in the niche, he asked Lao Shuteng: "Where is the control center of Zhenyuan Ding? Where is the weapon spirit hiding?"
Lao Shudeng replied: "At my feet, there is a very deep 'divine tomb', filled with ashes, and my roots are locked inside. At the deepest point there is a 'golden and jade plate' engraved with Taoist patterns, and the artifact is hidden inside."
Qin Hong said in a deep voice: "I'll go down to save you. Be honest and don't think of making a fool of yourself, otherwise I will release the spring and autumn sacred fire and turn you into ashes! I am not Zhen Yuanzi. Zhen Yuanzi wants to refine you as his body, but I am not! If you are obedient, I will plant you in the fairy garden and let you be with many kinds of sacred trees. I already have five kinds of ninth-level fairy lotus in my hand, as well as fairy peach trees, fairy apricot trees, and ginseng fruit trees..."
Lao Shuteng said repeatedly: "Daxian, you took so many photos before, and my torso can no longer move!"
Qin Hong said: "When I release your roots, you can move. I also have to try to seal the golden and jade plate, so that there will be no interference."
Lao Shudeng said: "Daxian, just do something. Even if I break free from the roots of the tree, I will not be able to escape from the big tripod without your help."
Qin Hong looked at the "Ding Tomb" under the roots of the tree, reached out and grabbed a handful of ashes, carefully identified them, and smiled: "These ashes have been refined for many years and have been transformed into fairy soil. Some of them are still relatively thick. If you look closely, you can see the traces of Taoist patterns. Old vines, are these yours? How many avenues have you absorbed from them?"
"Although I have obtained some great ways, I have not understood and penetrated them. I have transferred the Tao pattern to the torso of the self-sacred, so you can carefully appreciate it."
"Very good, let's communicate more when you and I go back! Only by communicating with each other can we make progress."
Qin Hong took out a clay pot and began to transfer the ashes into it.
After a long time, the tomb of the tripod was hollowed out by him, revealing a deep pit, and there was a spirit locking array below, connecting a three-foot-diameter golden plate, and the roots of the old tree vine were also locked inside.
Qin Hong reached out and grabbed the golden jade plate. He heard a "squeak" sound in his ears. The spirit of the weapon hid in the golden jade plate and exclaimed: "Who are you? Why did you break here? What do you want to do? Let me go quickly! If I am refined by you or hurt by you, Zhen Yuanzi will definitely know!"
Qin Hong pasted a sealed immortal talisman on a golden jade plate and then put it into the pottery jar, so the spirit of the weapon was banned by him.
He was not going to refine it immediately because this big tripod immortal weapon had been refined by Zhen Yuanzi long ago. It was an immortal weapon with the master. If it touched its core laws, it would soon alarm Zhen Yuanzi.
He thought to himself: "I'm worried that I can't find Zhen Yuanzi's incarnation! When I'm ready, I will create a pocket array and then refine the weapon spirit to see if I can lure this person out!"
The spirit of the weapon was sealed, and the big tripod became an empty shell.
The roots of the old vine were released and turned into an old vine that was three feet long, which was a three-foot-long one, jumping around in front of Qin Hong.
"Great immortal, please be sure to take me away."
Qin Hong said, "Don't worry, you didn't see it. There are enemies outside. It's not too late to take you out after I cleaned up that person."
He walked to the inner wall of the cauldron and reached out to touch the niches. In each niche, there was a pill. The pills were big and small. The smallest one was bigger than the broad beans. It was the most common Qingyun Pill; the medium one was bigger than the longan, which was the so-called "Qingyun Pill". In addition, there was a larger pill, three inches in diameter, just like an adult's fist, which should be the "Jiuhua Pill".
Qingyun Dan belongs to the seventh-level elixir, with a total of 180; Qingyun Dadan belongs to the eighth-level elixir, with a total of 36; Jiuhua Dan belongs to the ninth-level elixir, but unfortunately there are fewer, with only three.
Qin Hong looked back at the niches and thought to himself: "Reasonably, there should be nine Jiuhua Dans, three of which were taken away by Zhen Yuanzi, and the other three were not yet mature."
He put these elixirs in jade bottles and then planned how to deal with Qing Yunzi outside.
At this time, Qing Yunzi stood outside the cauldron with a smug smile on his face and said to himself: "According to the previous rules, as long as you throw people into the cauldron, after a day and a night, you will be considered as completing the sacrifice. You can open the cauldron and obtain the Qingyun Pill. Unfortunately, Biyun's skill is too weak, and I guess there will not be too many Qingyun Pills this time."
"Wait for a while, it's less than a day and a night..."
