I am an immortal in heaven and earth

Chapter 343 Five Dragons Holding the Saint, Nine Palaces Hanging Stars

"Know your mind and see your nature."

"The true emptiness."

He smashed the thunder seal once or twice and sighed, "This is the pattern of a saint!"

How many people in the world can understand their inner mind and the truth about the outside world? Understand their own limitations and see through the falsehoods of the world.

If you can do these two things, you must be a saint.

Xu Jia said modestly: "How can I compare to a saint? I am just a real person."

"The Immortal is also extraordinary." Lei Fa took note of these, and then said: "My Lei family has a great formation passed down since ancient times, called Five Dragons Holding the Saint, Nine Palaces Hanging Stars, which together are the best formations. It can gather the dragons from the five directions and correspond to the fate of the nine stars of the Big Dipper, the Nadi Ge, and the Cangtian Bureau. It's just that there has never been a suitable place to set it up. Now it seems that this Sanqing Mountain is just right."

"But this formation requires a lot of treasures from heaven and earth. Before, the immortals killed the evil dragons, and their dragon horns and dragon beads are all Feng Shui treasures. If you get one of them, you can change your fate and make three generations rich. It can be used as a talisman, but the word "holy" in "Five Dragons Holding a Saint" is the most precious and cannot be suppressed by ordinary people. It happened to fall into the Sanqing Palace. But although the Sanqing Palace enshrines the Three Saints, it still needs hundreds of years of worship and blessings from generations of true practitioners to form a Taoist holy place. Now it needs a treasure that can be used as a talisman."

"It is a treasure that guards the mountain. It is used to suppress a destiny. It is like the treasure that guarded the Huangtian Sect back then. There are several kinds of treasures. The most popular one is the Raw Rice Bowl."

"The treasure of the mountain?"

Xu Jia thought of the dragon-shaped imperial jade, but that thing was the national treasure of Luzon, the property of the Lidao Court, and the orthodox Kunlun.

What about Sanqing Mountain? Is there anything else that is suitable to be the mountain treasure of the Lingbao lineage?

Xu Jia thought of Raozhu, but Raozhu was only a vessel of abundance and could not be used for suppression. Moreover, it was the natal artifact refined by the boy Ao Jin. It was impossible that the thing refined by the boy was the treasure of the mountain.

What was left was the "Chaos Pearl" that he had just obtained, but this thing was the treasure of the Huangtian Sect. Xu Jia felt that the dead Huangtian Sect was fine, and there was no need to resurrect himself by taking over another's body.

The remaining treasures are only those that he made himself, and there is no other one, except the Xiantian Killing Sword and the Weiji Immortal Sword.

Although this sword is full of murderous intent, there is a saying that "political power grows out of the barrel of a gun", so murderous intent is necessary. Xu Jia immediately said to Lei Fayin, "I have an immortal sword that can be used as a talisman. This sword is a piece of innate divine steel that was dumped from the immortal furnace in the upper realm and fell to the human world. It turned into a meteorite from outer space, wrapped in heavenly fire, and was forged in volcanoes for thousands of years. In my hands, I collected the three elements, the four symbols, and the six Dings and six Jias to refine it into a sword. I used it to kill the Emperor Wanshou of the Changsheng Sect a few days ago, and eliminated some of the murderous intent. Now it has calmed down a little, I don’t know if it can be used."

"Although the sword is a gentleman's weapon, it is also an ominous weapon. Those with sharp shapes all contain gold evil. They can ward off evil in the house, but it is difficult to improve Feng Shui. However, if it is a fairy sword, you can find a way to make a scabbard to contain the sharpness and collect gold from all directions, which can actually maintain the sword."

"This scabbard..." Lei Fayin paced for a while and said, "It can only be made from the thousand-year-old heartwood of the thousand-year-old camphor tree gods, Mr. Zhang and Mrs. Zhang. However, the two of them applied medicine to the camphor tree, and they have done a lot of good deeds, and they have not harmed anyone."

Lei Fayin said, "In the past, the empress of the Daheng Emperor wanted to make a thousand-worker bed. They searched everywhere for good wood, but all the spiritual ones were hidden. The Imperial Astronomical Observatory had to look for them one by one. After searching for a long time, they found the couple Zhang Gong and Zhang Po, who owned the camphor tree. However, they were very skilled in Taoism. The people from the Imperial Astronomical Observatory took the craftsmen to cut down the tree, but for every inch they cut, the tree grew back by one inch. It took half a month to make any progress."

"The Imperial Astronomical Observatory captured the people living nearby and threatened them with taxes. The people of Zhangshu had no choice but to burn incense and offer sacrifices together. The next day, Mr. Zhang and Mrs. Zhang lost their magical powers and allowed the Imperial Astronomical Observatory people to chop down their trees. They bled as they chopped, and the land turned blood red."

“After the two large trees fell, the bark was scraped off and the logs were brought into the palace.”

"As a result, the next day, the barks grew into two large hollow trees. It was like a man who had no intention of dying, and a tree who had no intention of living."

"Not long after the Daheng Dynasty forcibly seized the trunk of the Zhanggong and Zhangpo tree, it perished. After a fire in the imperial palace, the Zhanggong and Zhangpo took the trunk back, and the hollow tree became a solid tree again. The locals built a temple for them. However, the two no longer appeared in spirits, and they no longer received incense from the people of Zhangshu."

Xu Jia heard this and said, "I have heard before that there are many thousand-year-old monsters in Jiangnan West Road. In addition to the Poyang Monster Capital, there are also Zhang Gong and Zhang Po, who are in seclusion and practice alone. I think they survived the thousand-year catastrophe in the previous dynasty. If I want to take his thousand-year-old wood heart, it will be the same as the emperor of the previous dynasty who plundered trees and harmed the people. I wonder if there is any other scabbard that can be used to contain this murderous sword and murderous intent?"

"I'm afraid there isn't one." Lei Fayin said, "It's easy to find a thousand-year-old tree, but it's hard to find a thousand-year-old tree monster. Jiamu seems to be defeated by Gengjin, but it also has the ability to hide it with its own scars."

Xu Jia thought: "How many wood hearts are needed?"

"Three feet and six inches." Lei Fayin said, "The wood heart is one inch in six hundred years. To use three feet and six inches, we need the joint efforts of Zhang Gong and Zhang Po. It doesn't necessarily require killing him. If he is willing to spit it out, it can be used."

Assuming that Mr. Zhang and Mrs. Zhang have practiced Taoism for 1,200 years each, their total is only four feet of a thousand-year-old wood core. If we take three feet and six inches of it, only two inches of wood core will be left for each of them. Although they are not killed, I am afraid they will be half-dead, their Taoism will be completely dissipated, and they may even fall into a deep sleep, and die.

Xu Jia was unwilling to do such a thing, so he asked, "What if there is no scabbard? Can't it be a treasure to suppress luck?"

"It is possible, but the five elements will always be biased. The gold evil formed by the rich and sharp Qi cannot be resolved. The tempers of the disciples will be like swords, and it will be difficult to correct their character."

Xu Jia thought about it and said, "Then let's not use the scabbard for now. I'll think about this thousand-year-old wooden heart."

Xu Jia began to think, and suddenly he remembered the American Voodoo. There was a thousand-year-old Voodoo tree that originated from the primitive Indian continent and was more than three thousand years old. Voodoo believers would always meditate around this tree to gain inspiration. Voodoo believers would even use witchcraft to nourish the tree, completely turning the tree into an indescribable "evil spirit".

The branches that fall from the voodoo tree are all extremely powerful materials for voodoo spells.

This voodoo tree is the sacred giant tree worshipped by the so-called "druids" of Northern Europe, or elves, and giants. The world tree is different. That tree is in mythology, while this one actually exists in reality.

Xu Jia thought that he had already reached the immortal realm, and it was time for him to travel. With the Chaos Pearl as his endorsement, Xu Jia might be able to bring more powerful power and strength to America.

After reading it, Xu Jia said to Lei Fayin: "The matter of the scabbard may be heard in a few days, so I need you to build the basic part of the Feng Shui formation first."

"This is not difficult. Our children have already started working on it. We just need to use the power of heaven and earth to activate the formation as soon as possible, within three months at the latest. If there is no scabbard, we will need the master's magic sword. Otherwise, it will be difficult to suppress the five dragons, and the Nine Palaces will not have the treasure to suppress it. The Feng Shui pattern will be scattered, which will be considered a failure."

Xu Jia nodded: "Just go ahead and arrange it without any worries."

Lei Fayin nodded, and then wanted to see Xu Jia's sword. Xu Jia used the sword, and immediately attracted the killing intent of the three talents, and the calamity of the weapons from all directions turned into tornadoes.

Lei Fayin couldn't help but take a few steps back, with a look of shock on his face: "Water and fire are not in harmony, heaven and man are not alive, there is only a ray of hope, ten deaths and no life, the evil spirit is too heavy, to hold it up as a saint, is it a blessing for the people, or a disaster for the people?"

He was a little dazed, and wanted to say something several times, but he didn't know what to say. He just said, "I'm afraid that the thousand-year-old wooden heart can only last for five hundred years. After five hundred years, it will be difficult to lock it up."

"Five hundred years later, I should have ascended to heaven long ago, and I can let go of all external things."

"Yes, it ascended."

Lei Fayin said: "How can there be eternal good fortune and eternal peace? Five hundred years is long enough."

He left the place immediately and called his brothers, nephews and nephews to a meeting. In addition to the various treasures provided by Jin Chan, they also took out many treasures hidden in the palaces and tombs of past dynasties, intending to use them together to accompany the Five Dragons Holding the Saint and the Nine Palaces Hanging Star Array of Sanqing Mountain.

If they do well, they believe that the Lei family can also become a family of immortal cultivation, a thousand-year-old clan. If there are earth immortals in every generation, the family will be prosperous.

Xu Jia summoned the golden toad Duobao, who transformed into a wealthy little fat man, and looked very happy.

Xu Jia said: "I plan to distribute the land equally. You have so many merchants under your command. They have bought a lot of land. Are you sure you can take the lead and ask them to donate their property?"

"It's probably difficult." Jin Chan Duo Bao thought about it and said, "Talents will only go to places where they are respected, and wealth will only flow to places where it is protected. Although I have a general grasp of the economic lifeline, I can only create a business environment that is friendly to merchants. But if I ask them to donate land, they will feel that this place is unfriendly and will immediately go to rely on others and transfer assets. Although there is a little golden toad to supervise, this violates the principle of merchants buying in and selling out."

Xu Jia said: "This is why I asked you to be alert before, but it doesn't matter, just tell them to take the land and the property for auction."

"The right to do business overseas will be auctioned off, otherwise private ships will not be allowed to go to sea and will not be protected."

Xu Jia said: "Tell them to take a long-term view. Merchants cannot gain profits by hoarding land, but they can by sailing and doing business. Tell them that we have already established a country overseas, and the next step is to lay out the southern coast. If they are unwilling, and the chaos spreads to this side, we will only send troops to protect ordinary people, not these big merchants."

"Ordinary people are a family of three generations, with a total of no more than 30 mu of arable land. If they exceed 30 mu, they will be classified as landlords."

"If there is a large family with 17 or 18 people from three generations, and each person only has a few acres of food-producing land on average, what if the total is more than 30 acres?"

"Then divide the family and the land among yourselves."

Xu Jia said: "Equal distribution of land must be implemented, and Jiangnan West Road must also be under our control. We will start with economic means, and then use violence as an endorsement. I believe that 70% to 80% of the wealthy masters in Jiangnan West Road have been manipulated and influenced by you, so we need you to be the first to release the inside information. In two months, it will be officially implemented."

"If you still don't know what's good for you within these two months, then we have to make it clear who our friends are and who our enemies are. We should turn our backs on each other and criticize each other when necessary."

Jin Chan nodded: "Two months of buffer time is fine. Since there is the maritime transport business as an endorsement, there must be many smart people. In addition, with the establishment of an overseas country, except for a few people who will hold on to their land and property, most people should start thinking about opening factories and foreign trade."

"Yes, we must liberate agriculture and develop industry. We must mobilize the money of these landlords and turn it into raw capital to develop economic prosperity."

There was nothing wrong with Xu Jia's route, it was even too gentle. He also wanted to negotiate with businessmen and landlords, and even share a piece of the shipping pie.

If it were in the past, they would have taken advantage of the emotions of the lower-class people, killed and killed along the way, and slaughtered the landlords to death, and then abandoned everything and hid away, just to survive.

Although it is a carnival and a victory, it will inevitably leave behind many historical issues.

At present, Xu Jia has no intention of killing the goose that lays the eggs. They have their own uses. Those who can catch up with the development and transformation of the times should support the transformation, while those who cannot keep up with the times and still want to be feudal landlords or even slave owners should be resolutely eliminated. The demons should cultivate capitalist thinking, expand the capital market, and expand outward, instead of becoming landlords and constantly squeezing the livelihood of the lower-class people and rolling inward until the lower-class people have no way to retreat. As a result, they become murderous and fall into extremes.

Jin Chan also understood Xu Jia’s meaning. Two months was enough time to complete the operation.

He withdrew with the mission, and Xu Jia went to the Salt and Iron Administration.

Flintlock rifles have begun mass production, and the precision of the lathes hand-made by blacksmiths is no less than that in the late First World War. Gears, lubricants and the like have also been put into use.

The steam engine that Xu Jia was most concerned about also had some clues. They found latex trees in Southeast Asia, and the method of processing latex was also included in the information that Xu Jia sent from the American priest. This solved a major problem with the steam engine.

As for the airtightness of the cylinder, they indeed refined it using the idea of ​​refining magical instruments, with runes, prohibitions, and even opening an altar to offer sacrifices to the gods to consecrate it.

It has embarked on a path that is neither scientific nor magical.

This steam engine is performing simple reciprocating motion, equivalent to a model suspended in the air. The furnace is similar to an alchemy furnace. On both sides of the furnace's fire mouth, there are talismans carved in gold, which are used to worship the God of Fire, Song Wuji.

After a few pieces of refined coking coal were put in, some fire creatures immediately appeared, such as fire crows and fire snakes, dancing in the flames.

A Taoist stepped on the Suzaku blower in his hand, making the flame burn even more vigorously.

The water vapor in the cylinder gurgled, and one could faintly hear the roar of a dragon. It was the spirit of the dragon that had been killed before being refined into the cylinder.

The roar of this steam engine is like a powerful monster in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, carrying a unique pressure, giving people the feeling that it can be transplanted into a heartless dragon and resurrected.
