Chapter 130: The Secret is Revealed



Everyone's attention immediately shifted away from the three dominant props, and they all looked towards Onodera.

Gujun Huojin asked hurriedly, "What are you smoking? What's written on it?"

As an excellent fire master, he spent his nine years of compulsory education by skipping classes and sleeping, and he even almost forgot that he had Chinese character classes when he was in school. Whenever he saw the densely packed ancient Chinese characters on the bamboo slips, he would feel dizzy.

The cultural level of Kobe Ichiro and others is definitely higher than that of Gujun Huojin, and some of them even graduated from prestigious universities, but they also cannot understand the contents of the bamboo slips.

Onodera looked at Shiguhai with complicated eyes: "He is Xu Fu, and also Amaterasu."

Everyone in the Chizuru group was silent. They guessed that this was the case, but they didn't want to face it!

Kobe Ichiro urged in a deep voice: "What does it say?"

"This is Xu Fu's autobiography. According to the bamboo slips, he was ordered by the First Emperor to go out to sea to find the elixir of immortality. It says: There is a treasure in the East China Sea, which was left by the Queen Mother Nuwa when she repaired the sky. Ten suns are circling above it. If you know it, you can live forever and live as long as the sky."

Onodera said: "Xu Fu led the boys and girls, as well as the jade plate given by the First Emperor, and sailed out to sea. With the ability of the alchemist, it took several years and finally found the island country in the vast ocean. It took several more years to find this place..."

"In order to open the secret realm, he traveled all over the island, collecting precious jade, casting stone sculptures, and making jade plates, and finally opened the secret realm."

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Zhang Yuanqing's previous thoughts were verified.

During the Qin Dynasty, practitioners had the ability to open up secret realms, otherwise Xu Fu would not have been able to forcibly open Takama-ga-hara.

In addition, Takama-ga-hara is a secret place that has existed since ancient times and was not discovered by Xu Fu.

Onodera continued, "When he got here, he discovered that the Ten Suns had perished, leaving only the bronze sacred tree. He tried hard to comprehend it for several years, but could not find the method."

"There is a magical pond under the tree. A mortal bathing in it can transform him into a new person and prolong his life." A monk bathing in it can refine his body into a pure body. Drinking from it can make him immune to all poisons and diseases. Xu Fu believed that this was the Fountain of Immortality.

"But once the Fountain of Youth leaves the pool, it will turn into ordinary water, and Xu Fu cannot bring it back to the Central Plains. So the supernatural person accompanying him suggested to Xu Fu that it would be better to settle here, establish a kingdom, and enjoy eternal life, rather than return to the Central Plains and become a vassal."

"Xu Fu named this place Qitianyuan and called himself Amaterasu. He found three ores at the bottom of the pond, one copper, one iron, and one jade, and cast them into magic tools, which symbolized supreme power."

"He educated the people of the island nation, taught them etiquette, farming, sericulture, weaving, and life, and stayed here alone, recording his experiences on bamboo slips."

After listening to this, Gujun Huojin looked up at the bronze tree towering into the sky: he could not hide his disappointment.

"That's not the case. Xu Fu did not comprehend the secret of the bronze tree.

"What do you think?"

Onodera pondered for a long time and said, "He became the supreme god of the island nation. However, the good times did not last long. The water in the pond dried up day by day, and this secret realm full of vitality gradually withered. Xu Fu dismissed the people in the secret realm and let them live in the outside world. So, the immortal spring that the First Emperor longed for has withered? And this bronze tree is a useless waste tree?"

Ryuzaki said, then he looked at Onodera and said:

"Two possibilities!"

"First, Xu Fu did not comprehend the secret of the bronze sacred tree. It was what the First Emperor desired. Look at this pond. It is obvious that the immortal spring flows out from the roots of the tree."

"Second, the bronze tree is worthless. The real treasure is somewhere else, but it is no longer here. The bamboo slips said that there was a treasure in the East China Sea, and ten suns were circling it. But when Xu Fu went to look for this place, the ten suns were no longer there."

"After he occupied the Immortal Spring for many years, the Immortal Spring gradually dried up, which also shows that the spiritual power of the secret realm is gradually dissipating. If the treasure is still here, this would not be possible."

Kobe Ichiro pondered for a moment and said, "Which possibility is higher?"

Without waiting for the others to answer, he looked at Princess Yin Yao and asked, "Yuan Shi Jun, what do you think? I remember the legend that Xu Fu went out to sea twice, and there was no news from the second time, but the bamboo slips did not mention it. No, according to what was written in the bamboo slips, Xu Fu did not return to the Central Plains at all. Is the legend wrong?"

No, the jade plate was a magical instrument that Xu Fu had painstakingly refined in order to open Takamagahara, and it was not brought from the Central Plains. If Xu Fu had never returned to the Central Plains, how could the jade plate in Qinfeng College be explained? So Xu Fu concealed this experience and did not mention it in the bamboo slips. This matter was not that simple.

Zhang Yuanqing's thoughts raced, and he said, "Gentlemen, I want to check out the bronze sacred tree first."

After saying that, he used a Star Escape Technique to leap in front of the bronze tree, staring at the trunk that was as wide as a city wall, gazing at the intricate patterns.

I don't understand it at all. He muttered to himself, and once again used the Star Escape Technique to disappear. He used the Wind Runner Gloves to fly and the Star Escape Technique to look around the bronze sacred tree.

The cadres of the Chizuru Group did not have such an advantage, and they watched and waited anxiously.

It took me more than ten minutes to circle the tree, but I found nothing.

"Have you finished reading it? It feels like a waste of time." Gujun Huojin said with a turn of his eyes!

"Zhang Yuanqing controlled the airflow, looked down at him from above, and said calmly: "You can try to leave, and see if I dare to kill you."

He looked at Kobe Ichiro again and said, "I'll go down to the bottom of the pond and take a look."

"We're leaving, are you sure you want to stay?"

"I'll go too." Onodera said hurriedly, took out his jet pack, and jumped to the bottom of the abyss-like pool.

Zhang Yuanqing was the first to reach the bottom of the pool. Under his feet were rugged rocks and clods of earth, but no silt. This place had existed for thousands of years and was no different from an abyss.

The stone walls on all four sides were uneven. On the wall close to the bronze sacred tree, thick bronze roots broke through the stone and hung in the air.

"It's incredible, this bronze tree seems to be a living being, not a bronze sculpture," Can you speak a foreign language?

Zhang Yuanqing spoke in a foreign language.

Onodera, who landed with a jet pack on his back, also saw the hanging roots.

"Oh, that's not necessary, I can speak Chinese." Onodera smiled and said, "As a bachelor, mastering multiple languages ​​​​is a necessary skill.

He summoned a sharp blade from his inventory, strode forward, grabbed a slender root, and cut it hard. "Crackling!"

The blade cut through the bronze rhizome with a sound that made your teeth ache.

Zhang Yuanqing watched silently, silently summoned the ghost bride, and ordered her to keep an eye on the members of the Qianhe group, to prevent them from slipping away and trapping him in the secret realm. Although he had a magical artifact such as the teleportation jade talisman, the teleportation jade talisman was limited by its own quality and could not enter a seal or barrier that was too powerful.

The secret realm of Takamagahara was obviously superior to the Saint's Dungeon. Amid the surging Yin Qi, a graceful figure in a bright red wedding dress floated up.

He brought a little funny guy and a ghost bride.

"Heart-wrenching." Onodera tried in vain, took a breath, and said loudly: "It has life. Unbelievable, unbelievable, it is indeed bronze, it is metal, but it is also life. There is such a magical creation in the world, what kind of power is it?"

After letting Jin Luyong finish speaking, he remembered that Yuanshi Tianzun could not understand the Japanese language, so he repeated it in Chinese.

Let metal have life? Hiss, it is indeed incredible. What kind of power can do such a magical thing? Think about it from another angle. Can other inanimate objects also come alive? Zhang Yuanqing is not a otaku, so the first thing he thought of was props, not silicone or something inflatable.

He even thought of the Yin Ruler. Could it give Yin Yue life again?

"What have you discovered? What are your thoughts?" He wanted to hear the opinions of professionals.

"The authority of life belongs to the musician profession. This immortal pool is most likely drained from the bronze sacred tree."

Onodera pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose and analyzed: The Emperor's Bronze Sacred Tree is related to the profession of musicians, but musicians cannot create such a magnificent landscape, but scholars have this ability.

So the bronze sacred tree was created by combining the abilities of the two major professions, scholar and musician?

Zhang Yuanqing suddenly realized and asked, "So, does this tree still have value? Is it dead or alive?"

Onodera shook his head: "It's hard to say, maybe he's dead, maybe he's dormant, but

The treasure must be gone, otherwise why would it be like this? This sacred tree has more symbolic and ornamental value than actual value. "If I were an equipment refiner, I would be able to read its information, even if it has no item attributes, what a pity."

Hearing this, Zhang Yuanqing was a little disappointed. He said nothing more, exhaled a breath of Taiyin power lightly, and rolled to the ground, turning into a round baby with sparse hair.

"Let the little fool try and see how he reacts to the bronze sacred tree. And by the way, take a look inside the trunk. Is this a thick tree that is solid inside?"

He immediately gave the treasure-hunting order to Little Doubi, but unfortunately the capacity of his backpack was limited, so he couldn't bring a treasure-hunting cloak, otherwise he would have given it to Guaijizi.

The little funny boy raised his head and looked around. He saw the dense rhizomes hanging down. His dark eyes suddenly lit up and he immediately moved his limbs to crawl over. He climbed along the steep wall, grabbed the rhizomes, and then followed the rhizomes and plunged into the stone wall.

The next second, the little funny guy bounced out like a small ball and rolled a few times at the bottom of the pool.

He sat up with a dazed look on his face, was stunned for a few seconds, and then burst into tears.

Unable to enter the tree trunk, Zhang Yuanqing fell silent.

Songhai, hotel room.

Zhang Yuanqing opened his eyes and dialed Fu Qingyang's number.

Perhaps knowing that he was doing something important, Fu Qingyang quickly answered the call: "What did you get in Takamagahara?"

"The real Ame-no-Kurosakumo, Magatama, and Yata Mirror are all in Takamaga-hara, and they are all master-level props!" Zhang Yuanqing described the situation in Takamaga-hara as briefly as possible, and then raised his doubts: "The jade plate is a magic weapon made by Xu Fu in the island country. If he had not returned to the Central Plains, Qinfeng Academy would not have its hand-drawn map. Boss, what do you think about this? Fu Qingyang is a scout, his mind is more sharp, and he is far better than him in terms of black belly and knowledge."

"So, if you are in doubt, it's always right to ask Master Qian."

"It's simple. Xu Fu omitted the experience of returning to the Central Plains. This was not glorious for him. Maybe there is another hidden reason. Time is limited, so I'll keep it short!"

Fu Qingyang spoke in a clear and melodious voice, "First of all, Xu Fu returned to the Central Plains for a certain purpose. It was definitely not to report the details of Takamagahara to the First Emperor. Otherwise, the First Emperor would have come in person long ago."

"Secondly, Xu Fu was very ambitious. Judging from his later behavior, he wanted to take over Takama-ga-hara for himself."

Finally, he has entered Takamagahara, so what is the reason that forces him to return to Central Plains again?

"Zhang Yuanqing's mind suddenly moved, and he blurted out: "Seeking a way to comprehend the bronze sacred tree?"

Fu Qingyang said: "That's right. The reason why the First Emperor sent Xu Fu out to sea to search for the elixir of immortality was perhaps because he had control over some kind of item or information and knew what was in Takamagahara."

"If you were the First Emperor, would you give that item to Xu Fu?"

Zhang Yuanqing said without hesitation: "I will send people to look for it, and when I find Takama-hara, I will go there myself."

"I understand. What you mean is that Xu Fu found Takamagahara but concealed it and did not report it to the First Emperor. He brought the jade plate back to the Central Plains to deceive the First Emperor. In fact, he wanted to defraud or steal something that the First Emperor controlled."

"But he failed. In desperation, he found an excuse to go out to sea again. From then on, he never returned to the Central Plains and established himself as the king of the island nation. He wanted to rely on the Immortal Spring for immortality, but the world changed drastically, his spiritual power was exhausted, and the Immortal Spring withered. He could only sit and die in Takama-ga-hara."

"If you think about it this way, the logic makes sense."

Fu Qingyang said, "That's roughly it. If our speculation is correct, then the two stone doors at the bottom of Jiaoren Lake in Qinfeng College may hide a way to crack the bronze sacred tree and bring the jade plate back."

"Leave it to me!" Zhang Yuanqing suddenly got angry.

For example, the bronze sacred tree, a dominant-level item, is nothing at all.

Tianyuan, bottom of the pond.

If you ask the Chizuru group for the jade plate directly, they will most likely not agree and offer monetary compensation. After all, Takama-ga-hara has extraordinary significance to them.

There are only three artifacts in Takamagahara. The harvest is smaller than expected. Without that treasure, the contract signed before is invalid. I directly ask for one of the three artifacts.

, they would never agree to one. I would first make a request that they could not agree to, asking for the three artifacts, and then I would make the next best thing, asking for the key with great reluctance.

The art of bargaining is to ask for a high price and then pay a low price.

If they still don't agree, then the only way to solve it is by force. They have three master-level items, so force can be used, but it must be used skillfully.

His thoughts raced through his mind, and he soon came up with an idea.

"It seems that this sacred tree is indeed worthless." Zhang Yuanqing sighed and looked at Onodera Yosuke: "Let's go up."

After saying that, he pressed his palm down on his body, and a strong wind blew up, sweeping him up and returning to the ground.

Onodera, carrying his backpack, returned to the pond a little slower.

"What did you find?" asked Ichiro Kobe.

Zhang Yuanqing shook his head: "The bronze sacred tree has no value.

At this time, he was extremely glad that Princess Yin Yao was a Yin corpse, because Yin corpses had no expression and wore sunglasses, so there was no need to worry about Long Qiyi noticing anything unusual.

"Is that so?" Ichiro Kobe looked at Onodera, who was more trustworthy.

Onodera nodded and told his companions his guess about the bronze sacred tree. He sighed, "Yuanshi-kun is right. The bronze tree is not valuable. It seems that our gains are limited to three sacred artifacts." Hearing this, the cadres of the Chizuru Group could not hide their disappointment.

They came here with the expectation of making a fortune, but ended up with nothing. They were inevitably disappointed, but fortunately the three master-level items made up for the disappointment. In the Ganhe Group's inheritance to this day, there are only three master-level items, and two of them were seized by the Heavenly Punishment due to the war.

Today, the Chizuru Group, an official one in one country, has only one Domination-level item, and it is of poorer quality among the Dominations.

The three artifacts are different, all of them are of excellent quality.

With these three items, the overall strength of the Chizuru group increased several times.

At this time, Zhang Yuanqing said, "Then, let's talk about the distribution of spoils. Gentlemen, I'll take one of the three items. Is that okay with you?"

The expressions of the Qianzuru group cadres darkened.

"No!" Gujun Huojin was a straightforward person and refused without hesitation!

Zhang Yuanqing silently unzipped his backpack and said coldly, "These three artifacts must belong to my Qianhe Group. I can't give them to you. Don't even think about it."

"The Chizuru Group is going to go back on its word? It seems that I overestimated your moral character. You islanders are indeed a group of people who know small etiquette but not great righteousness, who fear power but not morality."

Asano Ryo finished translating dutifully, then said anxiously, in a crying voice, "Everyone calm down, talk things over, and don't be too defensive."

I think giving Yuanshijun a divine weapon was something I hadn't finished saying when I was interrupted by Gujun Huojin's roar: "Baga, you have no right to speak here. Understand your own identity and status. Don't think that just because the team leader agreed to promote you, you have the right to make decisions. Get out of the way, otherwise I will expel you from the Chizuru Group." Kanbe Ichiro and others also looked at her coldly.

Asano Ryo had probably never been treated so roughly before. His eyes turned red and he was too scared to speak, with tears about to fall.

Zhang Yuanqing decisively grabbed a 30-centimeter-long thunderstorm cannon from his backpack, pointed the thick black muzzle at Gujun Huojin, and said coldly, "You can go to hell now!"

Gujun Huojinfuzhi instinctively looked at the Yata Mirror in his hand, and saw a picture flashing in the mirror...

He was hit by a ball of lightning, his body was torn into pieces and exploded into pieces of flesh. The shock wave injured Ichiro Kobe and others beside him.

Can the Eight-foot Mirror predict danger? This thought flashed through Furutsu Kogun's mind.

At this time, Zhang Yuanqing pulled the trigger!

Purple lightning quickly condensed at the muzzle of the gun, arcs of electricity jumped and a ball of lightning shot out.

Gujun Huojin's heart skipped a beat and he yelled, "Get out of the way!"

He grabbed a fireball and threw it far away. His body was immediately wrapped in the rising flames, and he used fire to avoid it. Zhang Yuanqing, who was looking down from above, threw a wind blade over.

On the other side, others instinctively fled in all directions.

The whole earth shook violently, rocks and soil exploded, and dust rose into the sky.

The mountain god Watanabe Kita was about to retreat when he suddenly felt the jade light up with the Green Silk Record halo. The next second, the stones that were shot out changed their trajectories and shot at his side. The shock wave was also separated by an invisible force, as if it deliberately avoided Watanabe.

"Automatically resolve the attack?" Watanabe Yoshita was surprised and happy.

Gujun Huojin was not so lucky. He was hit in the chest by the wind blade. The blood instantly dyed his clothes red and the wound exposed his bones.

"Baka!" He held his chest and growled angrily.

Zhang Yuanqing raised his gun again and pointed it at him.

The fire demon's scalp tingled and he dared not say anything more. His whole body was tense and alert.

The Qianhe group members who had retreated far away gathered back again, their eyes shining. Yuanshi Tianzun's shot actually punished the unknown functions of two props.

As expected of tools refined by ancient psychics, and as expected of materials from Takamagahara, these three tools are truly superb.

On the contrary, no one cares about the strength of Gujun Huojin.

"Mr. Yuanshi, we don't want to fight with you, but if you insist on forcing us, don't blame me for being ruthless." Kobe Ichiro said in a deep voice!

He clenched the Ame-kun tightly, ready to go.

Asano Ryo looked at Yuanshi Jun with tears in his eyes, his heart was almost melted by the emotion, and he forgot to translate for a moment. Yuanshi Jun saw that the deputy team leader of Gujun was looking at him coldly, and he directly opened fire and declared war. Although the conflict was caused by the unequal distribution, there was also an element of speaking up for her.

Yosuke Onodera silently acted as a translator.

"It seems that Team Leader Kobe doesn't want to keep his promise either. Then don't blame me for being unethical..."

Zhang Yuanqing pressed his hands together and flew into the air. Standing high in the sky, he looked down at everyone and said coldly, "Look behind you."

At this time, the dust slowly dissipated, and a huge pit with a diameter of more than ten meters appeared at the place where the explosion just happened.

"Captain Kobe, which one do you think is more powerful, your Ama Murasaki or my hand cannon? How about I stand in the sky and you stand on the ground, and we compare them?"

As long as he didn't say it, no one would know that the Thunderstorm Cannon had a firing limit. The faces of the Qianhe Group cadres changed slightly.

"Humph, we have many people, all of us are saints, and we have the help of the three great artifacts, so why would we be afraid of you!" Gu Jun Huo Jin shouted: Zhang Yuanqing laughed: "Gentlemen, who do you think is faster, you or me?"

Ichiro Kobe's expression changed: "Yuanshi Tianzun, what do you mean?" Today, if you want to take the three divine artifacts by force, the corpse will stay here forever.

"If I leave Takamagahara now and take the key, can you outrun me?"

Zhang Yuanqing saw the stern expressions on everyone's faces and continued, "If I were to tell Tianfa about this, do you think Tianfa would take these three top-grade items away? If I were to tell the Heavenly King of Fear about this, do you think Fear would attack the Qianhe Group?"

The more he spoke, the uglier the faces of the Chizuru Group cadres became.

Ichiro Kobe gritted his teeth, but was sadly and indignantly discovered that the other party had touched on his weak spot.

He took a deep breath and shook his head. "The three artifacts must belong to my Qianhe Group. Yuanshi Tianzun, if you want to leak them, then leak them. If the Qianhe Group persists, Tianfa will leave one item behind. When the King of Fear comes, the high-level Tianfa will stop them. And you will get nothing."

As for speed, we are indeed not as fast as you, but Gujun Huojin can also use fire element, and is not inferior to you.

Zhang Yuanqing showed an angry expression at the right time, frowned deliberately, and fell into deep thought. After a long time, he slowly said: "Well, Captain Kobe, instead of both sides suffering losses, why don't we each make concessions."

Kobe Ichiro felt relieved: "How to give in."

Zhang Yuanqing said, "If you have the final say, 1 billion island currency, the key to Takamagahara, and three viewings to borrow props, sign a contract with me, and the matter is over. Otherwise, we'll part ways."
