The forty-fourth chapter return gift 2

"Zhang Cheng, this thing... is very useful!" Xiao Xiong reminded.

"Of course, I know." Zhang Chengke never forgot that he used this jade exchange to win the bear. If you think about it from the perspective of others, you will understand what the price Huang Xiong paid. Huang Xiong exchanged his precious experience and knowledge for this jade, which cannot be understood as ordinary sharing. It is not as simple as a friend copying a video from your computer with a USB flash drive. Instead, you leaked the unfinished design draft that you have worked hard for hundreds of years to others. If any great spirit created a "wild beast" priest in advance with this knowledge and experience, then the yellow Xiong would have no place to cry. Even considering the dangerous specific environment that Huang Xiong faces, the exchange price is still unimaginable. This shows that the value of this thing is extraordinary.

"I have been thinking about seeing Donghaijun before, but I am not a yellow bear after all... If I could use this as a gift, Donghaijun would have a more friendly attitude towards me, at least there is enough room for discussion."

"I understand." Zhang Cheng had to say that his good people would be rewarded. If he hadn't saved Jiang Kao in the middle of the way, he would probably have no chance. This shows that Jiang Kao's home... is really not ordinary.

"I have had one in the past," said Zhang Cheng. "But I don't know what it is called."

"It has many names, but it is usually called the sacrifice stone. It is said that it comes from the depths of the spiritual realm. Some people say that it was made by gods or great spirits." Jiang Kao said. "Brother Zhang Cheng, don't know the stone you own..."

"Oh, for some reason, I gave a great spirit."

"This is a good thing. If you can sacrifice it to the gods, you can at least get a special kind of divine grace." Jiang Kao couldn't help but remind him, but immediately thought that he had said the wrong thing. "But Brother Zhang Cheng is not mediocre, and Da Ling is usually of noble character. I think he must have gotten something very good."

"Yes, it's very good." Zhang Cheng said. "Wait...what did you say just now? Usually? That is to say, there are some exceptions?"

Zhang Cheng has not been in contact with many big spirits at present, but there is a big trouble, that is, Ba Snake is there. However, even if Ba Snake is hostile to him, Zhang Cheng thinks this is understandable. This is a matter of position, that is, the butt problem, which has nothing to do with the quality of Ba Snake itself. It cannot be said that Ba Snake is hostile to me to prove its despicableness. "Do you know about Da Snake?"

"Well, there is indeed this. There are many legends about the Great Spirit." Jiang Kao did not notice the topic being taken a deviantly by Zhang Cheng. "For example, there is a legend that the Song State still retains an imperial spirit."

Whether it is the history of the earth or the history of this world, the State of Song has always been a descendant of the Shang Dynasty. Specifically, it is the branch that surrendered to the Shang Dynasty and the Zhou Dynasty. They were traitors of the Shang Dynasty, but were named Dukes by the Zhou Dynasty.

"There are the Emperor Spirits? Are they true or false?" Zhang Cheng heard a lot of explosive news from Xiaoxiong. For example, the Emperor Spirit can be conferred gods in some special way. And in one breath, the method of more than a dozen imperial spirits collectively conferring gods can directly form a divine system. Although in fact, they were destroyed by the gods before they achieved their goals. Xiaoxiong also said that at least that method is feasible in theory.

To say that the emperor spirit who once blessed the Shang Dynasty was left to continue to protect the Song State...it seems quite reasonable.

"But I don't know the truth or false... but I think it should be mostly rumors." Jiang Kao could not have a clear answer to this question. "If it is true, how could the Zhou Dynasty and the gods be easily deceived? If it is false... There are indeed a few emperors in the genealogy of the Shang Dynasty who do not know whereabouts. Even if it is the Song people, they cannot give a reasonable answer."

"When it comes to this great spirit, there is another famous legend, Du Bo."

"Du Bo?" Zhang Cheng knew about Du Bo's legend. "Who is King Xuan of Zhou?"

On earth, Du Bo's story is a ghost story of revenge. According to ancient books, it is probably that King Xuan of Zhou had a minister named Du Bo, who is quite handsome. King Xuan of Zhou's favorite concubine, wanted to seduce Du Bo but was rejected. The girl Jiu was so angry that she falsely accused Du Bo of trying to impolite him. After all, King Xuan of Zhou was the emperor and could not bear the green grassland on his head, so he killed Du Bo without evidence. In grief and anger, Du Bo swore, "My monarch killed me without guilt. If a person dies like a lamp, then forget it. If a person still knows after death, I will definitely let the monarch know the power within three years. ("My monarch kills me without any innocence. If the dead are ignorant, then stop; if there is knowledge after death, I will let my monarch know it.")

In less than three years, King Xuan of Zhou went out to hunt once. Du Bo, who had already died, suddenly appeared in the sky, drove a white horse and a carriage, wearing red clothes, holding a red bow, holding a red arrow, chasing King Xuan of Zhou, and shooting him to death with an arrow.

This is undoubtedly a complete story of the ghost of revenge on Earth, but in this world, it is obviously different.

"In the past, King Xuan of Zhou was also moved by the great spirit... and there was no way to not be moved. After the emperor died, he could transform into an imperial spirit. Although he was not a true god, the immortality alone was coveted enough!" Jiang Kao said. He obviously knew some special versions of the story. "At that time, King Xuan led the army from the southern country to fight eastward and defeated Dongyi. King Xuan took advantage of his victory and believed in Du Bo to guard Chaoge's old place... It was a very simple guarding task on the surface, but in fact... it was to copy the way in which he was directly transformed from humans into a great spirit! Du Bo's real order was to excavate Yin Ruins."

"That... has this method been lost?" Zhang Cheng asked. "The way to make people become a great spirit after death."

"Yes," Jiang Kao replied. "King Wu had an agreement with the gods. After Muye defeated the Shang army of the Shang Dynasty, he burned all the things related to the Emperor Spirit, whether people or things. That day, in order to completely cut off such blasphemy, everything was destroyed... But even King Wu had selfish intentions."

"You mean?"

"King Wu did not fully fulfill his agreement with the gods. Yes, he did exactly what the gods meant. He destroyed all the emperor spirits according to the agreement, destroyed the Shang Dynasty and buried all the relevant knowledge and secrets of the emperor spirit. But in fact..." Jiang Kao said halfway. "Anyway, King Xuan was indeed too anxious. Du Bo excavated the secrets of the emperor spirit, but unfortunately, he didn't know who took action in the end to the unrealistic fantasy of the Zhou Dynasty... It is said that the great defeat of the Battle of Thousand Acres arose from this."

It feels like Jiang Kao is showing off his secret rumors. However, Zhang Cheng really realized it suddenly.

I used to think that in this world with gods and supernatural abilities, the decline of Zhou Shi was understandable, but it was a bit too much to be hit like this. For example, the matter of Feng'e. Feng'e attacked Zhou Shi, but other gods didn't care about it? You should know that although there are many home gods who think about creating new clergy every day and are too lazy to care about trivial matters in the mortal world. But like Feng'e, there are actually many gods who work hard to expand their faith in the mortal world. Feng'e is by no means unique. Feng'e can launch the Quanrong to attack Zhou Shi, and other gods can also launch believers to interfere. Moreover, this is not a small fight, and this kills the Zhou emperor and even the heirs.

So I had a strange feeling before: No one seemed to care about the Zhou Shi. If you say that Hou Ji was not strong enough and could not control it, this is understandable. But being able to beat him on the front does not mean that he could not do anything. He may not dare to challenge him on the front, but it should not be difficult to make a trip, push a wave, and help a lamp behind him, right? Some of the gods are neutral and don’t want to control it, that’s normal, but it feels like all the gods suddenly became neutral, which is a bit too much. As Zhang Cheng understands, the gods in this world are not pacifists! It seems that it’s completely fine to find an opportunity to beat others. He doesn’t believe that He knows that he has a friendship all over the world, and there is only one enemy.

Now that Jiang Kao said this unintentionally, he understood. It turned out that this was the case. After all, the Zhou Shi violated the contract of human and gods, and the gods were no longer willing to protect Zhou Shi. To put it bluntly, since King Wu, Zhou Shi lurked in a secret line, intending to take advantage of the situation and hiding the world. Zhou Shi also wanted the dead king to transform into an imperial spirit to protect the dynasty! The emperor of the Zhou Shi also wanted to enjoy wealth and honor while living, and could be upgraded to an immortal emperor after death! But if this matter was exposed, it would be difficult to deal with.

When there is trouble in the room, the gods stand by and watch - this is what you ask for!

With emotion, Zhang Cheng had already taken the box to his hands, and Jiang Kao took out another box.

This box is slightly thicker than the box just now. After opening it, I saw that it was a long-neck bronze pot with a plug on the mouth of the pot. However, this is not an ordinary pot. In the middle of it, there is a groove deliberately dug out. A small piece of crystal is embedded in the groove. Through the transparent crystal sheet, the liquid in the pot can be seen.

The technology in this world has not yet been able to create transparent glass (Nanling's that doesn't count, after all, it has not spread yet), so it is difficult for them to create such a container.

The liquid in the bottle is very beautiful, and Zhang Cheng has never seen such a beautiful thing in this world.

The transparent liquid has a slightly viscous texture when it shakes, and it presents a beautiful light white that reminds of the moonlit night, but obviously some ground powder-like things are mixed in it. As the liquid rotates, the light-colored powder that has not melted flows in it like stars.

It is very beautiful, but there is no 10,000 or 8,000 on the earth. Zhang Cheng felt that this thing gave him a very unique feeling, a feeling that it seemed to go deep into the heart and seduce it so much that you could not drink the things inside in one gulp. But on the other hand, Reason gave a timely warning: If you have a little brain, you will understand that there must be ghosts in this kind of thing.

Not only that, if you stare at it too much, you will feel a strange feeling in your heart. It is like you can't turn back after drinking it.

Wait... It's okay for this liquid, but why does this small pot... look familiar?

It can only be said that the shape of this pot is indeed quite unique - this is normal. Zhang Cheng knew that bronzes of the Bronze Age were basically unique. Because the main manufacturing methods of ancient bronzes, the so-called block model method and the lost wax method, require a set of molds every time. The mold cannot be used multiple times, which means that each bronze ware needs to be made brand new molds. Although that is the case, the same type of molds are still relatively close, and the appearance is only different in detail. Zhang Cheng can't tell whether this pot is a pot or a bottle - the shape is so unique that he has never seen the second one in reality.

Zhang Cheng is not a newcomer now. He has been wandering around the world for nearly a year and has seen many bronze utensils. But he has never seen the shape of this pot.

But it is strange that it is something I have never seen before, but it has a wonderful sense of familiarity.

Jiang Kao looked at Zhang Cheng looking back and forth, left and right at the pot, but didn't make a sound, just looking at it with a smile.

"This thing is..." Zhang Cheng tried hard to find an impression in his memory.

"This is a treasure called 'Lingquan'." Jiang Kao finally spoke. "When people drink this treasure, they will have the chance to get help from God!"

"Is this so powerful?" Zhang Cheng was a little puzzled. "Where did this thing come from? Also, what does this 'Divine Help' mean?"

"It is a trace of inspiration that I got from the depths of the spiritual realm, at the edge of the heaven and earth. I transform it into a specific liquid to ensure that the inspiration remains forever. Legend has it that someone just drinks this thing and becomes a great witch out of thin air."

A flash of inspiration in my mind, and Zhang Cheng suddenly understood what this was.

Isn’t this the task of becoming a godborn?

There is no doctor Kunwu in the game, so there is no "Blood of Zhurong" at all. However, in the process of the game, there is indeed a chance to become a god descendant.

If Zhang Cheng remembers correctly, it should be a continuous mission that runs through the third and fourth acts of the game.

Because of the garbled code, you can't figure out the details. But overall, you may receive a continuous task of chasing the traitor in the border fortress. The first step is to kill the target outside the city, but after you come back, you realize that the one you killed is a fake target. Go to the fourth act and you will find the real target, but the target is already protected by the fisherman and cannot be attacked. Discuss with the leader of the fisherman. If you help the fisherman solve a few big troubles, you won't care about your little things.

After people dealt with their big and small troubles, the fishman really didn't care about other people's business and let you take the initiative to propose a duel, but the other party could not refuse. So he fought in the arena and got the target. Finally, he returned to the border fortress with the news of killing the prey. If you are a commoner, then you will be promoted to a scholar after this mission - of course you will not be given a fiefdom, but you will be given a status as a wanderer - if you are already a scholar, you will get an extra bounty.

This can be said to be the last step for common people to upgrade their scholars... In fact, if they are common people, almost every scene has an upgrade task. The tasks in the first and second scenes must be completed before they can receive this task in the third scene to complete the upgrade.

During this mission, the player will get the treasure that has become a godborn: in fact, Zhang Cheng also forgot how he got it. It is probably either the task reward he received when doing a task for the fishman, or the spoils he received from the target. It is actually a bottle of water, and after drinking it, there is a chance that he will become a godborn. Of course, players who can save the disk to read have no chance to say it.

It is not that you can drink it like Zhurong’s blood and it is limited to Zhurong’s gods, but that there are multiple choices. Anyway, a menu pops up in the game, listing a lot of bloodlines for players to choose from.
