Chapter 984
It is indeed a congenital spiritual treasure, the most important treasure for the underworld in the future.
The three words show the Book of Life and Death.
It is said that these are the three books of heaven, earth and man. The Heavenly List is the famous Conferred God List, and the Conferred God War was caused by it. It was originally in the hands of the Three Pure Ones, the Supreme Lord Laojun, and the Earth Book, the Earth Fetal Membrane, and later in the hands of the Quasi-Sage Zhen Yuanzi, so Zhen Yuanzi is also known as the ancestor of earth immortals.
It is said that the Book of Life and Death of Man was originally in the hands of Hou Tu, one of the twelve ancestor witches. Hou Tu must have appeared now, and the world is currently ruled by the twelve ancestor witches, but it seems that she did not get this volume of the Book of Man, and no one knows how the Book of Man ended up here, and was even obtained by a small yellow eel monster.
But it is obvious that this yellow eel monster does not know the goods at all, and does not understand the power and importance of this treasure.
According to legend, Pangu was conceived by a chaotic green lotus. The green lotus has four lotus seeds. However, when Pangu broke out of the lotus and created the world, only one lotus seed was mature, and the other three were not mature.
The mature lotus seed turned into the thirty-six-grade Creation Green Lotus after the creation of the world. The Creation Green Lotus was divided into three parts. The red flower turned into the Panlong Bianguai, and finally fell into the hands of Taishang Laojun. The white lotus root turned into the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi, which later belonged to Yuanshi Tianzun. The green lotus leaf turned into Qingpingjian, which belonged to Tongtian Jiaozhu.
The three immature lotus seeds turned into the twelve-grade Merit Golden Lotus, the twelve-grade Red Leaf Golden Lotus, and the twelve-grade Destroying Black Lotus. It is said that there is still half an immature lotus seed that turned into the Pure World White Lotus, which is with Nuwa.
The lotus pod of the chaotic green lotus turned into the Qiankun Ding, which is said to be in the hands of Hongjun Daozu.
The three lotus petals turned into the Three Books of Heaven, Earth and Man. From this, we can see the level and importance of the Three Books of Heaven, Earth and Man.
The Immortal Slaying Gourd is said to be a fairy vine in Kunlun, one of the four gourds produced when the chaos first opened. It is also an innate treasure, but it is obviously not of the same level as the Chaos Green Lotus. The treasure transformed from the Chaos Green Lotus is stronger than the Immortal Slaying Gourd.
Strong does not mean that it must be a gift. One thing overcomes another, which also exists in innate treasures. The power of the Book of Life and Death lies in its records and invisibility. The Book of Life and Death records the past and present lives of all people, even up to the ninety-ninth life. There are almost no secrets in front of the Book of Life and Death.
Invisibility is even more powerful. As long as you know a person's name and birth date, find it in the Book of Life and Death, cross it out, and the person will die immediately, and the way of death is different, no matter where you are.
The one who can cross out the name of the person in the Book of Life and Death is the Qianqiu Reincarnation Pen that comes with the Book of Life and Death, which is also called the Judge's Pen in later generations.
However, the Book of Life and Death is not omnipotent. If the soul is strong enough, the Book of Life and Death cannot take it away. When it reaches the realm of Daluo Jinxian, the Book of Life and Death has little effect on it. Even some Jinxians with powerful souls cannot be helped by the Book of Life and Death.
Although it cannot deal with high-level immortals, it does not mean that it is useless. On the contrary, it is more useful to Gu Zheng now, even more than the Immortal Slaying Gourd.
If there was a Book of Life and Death before, he would not have to leave. As long as he asked the name and birth character of the monster from the two monsters' subordinates, he could kill the monster directly at the sermon site.
It doesn't matter if there is no Book of Life and Death. He can stabilize the two monsters' subordinates, impose restrictions on them, threaten them, and let them go back to inquire. With their intelligence, such information can be easily inquired.
In that case, he can kill the monster and his subordinates without going out.
In addition, the Book of Life and Death has a more important role for Gu Zheng. It can be used to examine people. With the Book of Life and Death, he does not need the previous test at all. He only needs to investigate the foundation of those who follow others. Whether they are good or bad, the Book of Life and Death can tell at a glance.
Of course, people's fate is not immutable, and the fate in the Book of Life and Death will also change accordingly, but personality is not so easy to change. A bad person is a bad person, and it can be used as a reference.
In addition, with the Book of Life and Death, Gu Zheng does not have to worry about Aunt Cui and Wu You's lifespan for the time being. He can check their lifespans and change them. However, even if the lifespans are changed, they do not have the strength and the physical body cannot last for a long time.
The real immortality is probably only available at the level of saints. In fact, Gu Zheng has a vague feeling that the so-called immortality and lifespan is actually a big scam. Even saints do not say that they are immortal.
Saints just have a longer lifespan, much longer than ordinary people, but not infinitely long.
Let alone saints, even this sky, which has both birth and destruction, is gone. What's the point of living as long as the sky? It's just that this time is very long, which is equivalent to eternal life for many people.
This is just Gu Zheng's guess. It involves the way of heaven. Gu Zheng doesn't know if it is right or not. If he hadn't reached the realm of quasi-saint before, he would never have thought of it.
"Great Immortal, how about it, is it okay?"
Seeing that Gu Zheng was holding the scroll and didn't speak, the eel monster was a little anxious and couldn't help asking.
"Okay, but I need the dragon ball to avoid the water and go ashore. You come with me, and I will give it to you after you go ashore!"
Gu Zheng was a little absent-minded just now, and then he remembered that there was a yellow eel monster waiting for him. He had completely lost the intention to destroy this yellow eel monster. Not to mention that the eel monster itself is good and has saved people, it should really thank it for giving him such a great gift.
The Book of Life and Death is different from the Immortal-Slaying Gourd. The Immortal-Slaying Gourd was lent to him by Lu Ya. Gu Zheng didn't know why he borrowed it, but he could guess vaguely that some of these big guys must be able to sense the future, and they will have intertwined causes and effects in the future. Now he should establish a good relationship with them. Gu Zheng will remember this favor and repay it later.
It doesn't matter if you don't repay it. Such a favor cannot be owed casually. If you don't repay it, the consequences will be more serious.
These, if it were the former Tie Immortal, I am afraid that he would not know at all. Gu Zheng had the strength of a quasi-sage, and he could vaguely grasp these.
But even if he knew he had to pay it back, Gu Zheng would still accept the Immortal Killing Gourd, because this treasure was of great help to him now. He needed this treasure. For him, the gain was greater than the effort.
The Book of Life and Death is different. This is his chance and luck. He doesn’t have to pay back any favors. This is the treasure he got and it will belong to him in the future. However, the Book of Life and Death is more useful to the underworld. If he succeeds in the future, Holy, the book of life and death can be sent to the underworld again and used for the governance of the underworld.
But now, it's better to be in his hands.
The eel demon followed Gu Zheng anxiously all the way, watching Gu Zheng come ashore. At this time, if Gu Zheng didn't return its treasure or give it the dragon ball, it would be useless.
"You give me this treasure, and you and I are destined. If there is a big disaster in the future, I will help you once. Now my cultivation is still weak, and I am temporarily powerless. If you hear the name of my Tiexian in the future, Come and find me again!”
Holding the dragon ball in his left hand and the life and death book in his right hand, Gu Zheng said to the eel demon with a strong sense of confidence when he spoke.
At this time, Gu Zheng had a feeling that he was no longer a passerby in the prehistoric times, he had already integrated into it. In the future, he would definitely make his own name in this prehistoric world. It was already his future, the Twelve Ancestral Witches, the Emperor Jun Taiyi, the female Wa Sanqing, and many other great powers, he came from ancient times and came in the name of Tie Immortal. In this ancient world, he must have the name Tie Immortal.
"Dragon Balls for you!"
When the eel demon wanted to ask again, Gu Zheng had already thrown the mirage dragon ball to him. This was an exchange. Gu Zheng would not break his promise. The dragon ball in his hand could only create an illusion and avoid water. It had no other use at all. , for the eel demon, there is a chance to change the fate.
"Thank you, Immortal, thank you, Immortal!"
After getting the dragon ball, the eel demon was instantly overjoyed and kept thanking him.
"This is an exchange. You don't have to thank me. You must continue to do good deeds and become the patron saint of this side. If you persist, I will definitely give you a great opportunity in the future!"
Gu Zheng smiled at him and said that he actually gained more from this exchange, but he just didn't tell the eel demon, and there was no need.
"Don't worry, Great Immortal, the little demon will definitely obey the Great Immortal's instructions and treat the people here kindly!"
The eel demon firmly guaranteed there. In fact, needless to say, it would do the same thing. It already felt fast when it did this, especially when the people here regarded it, a little eel, as a dragon god.
Now that it has obtained the dragon ball again, it has the hope of truly becoming a dragon. It even thinks that this is the good result of his previous good deeds, and it will not miss it in the future. As for other things, it doesn't think about it.
"Very good, I hope you become a dragon soon!"
Gu Zheng smiled again and left immediately. The eel demon watched Gu Zheng slowly disappear before finally returning to the lake.
In fact, Gu Zheng's strength is not much stronger than it. It knows that Gu Zheng is not a real immortal, but when it sees Gu Zheng, it can't help but admire Gu Zheng from the bottom of its heart. It doesn't know why.
It had already remembered Gu Zheng's words in its heart, and it wasn't until later that it understood that this was its greatest blessing.
He quietly returned to the inn, no one was disturbed, Gu Zheng was still smiling, grinning from ear to ear.
He set up a formation in the room, and then with Tao's doubtful eyes, he poured his immortal power into the book of life and death. The scrolls that were originally entangled slowly opened, and the three characters of the book of life and death also radiated light.
The eel demon didn't know how to open the book, so naturally he couldn't open the book of life and death.
If it were the old Tie Xian, he wouldn't know how to open a book, or he might not be able to recognize such a treasure, but the current Tie Xian is an ancient man. Coincidentally, when he read those interesting things in the past, he would I have seen the method of opening the book of life and death.
The book of life and death can also be called the art of cause and effect. It requires a special method to open it. If you don't have a method, no matter how strong you are, you will never be able to open this innate treasure.
"Tie, what is this?"
Seeing the light emitting from the life and death book, Tao stepped forward to take a look curiously. Gu Zheng smiled and said to him: "This is a really good treasure. With him, we don't have to be afraid of anyone here for the time being. Come, let me Let’s look at you and me first!”
Gu Zheng first entered his name, and then his birth date. His birth date was deduced later. He didn't know it when he was born. Later, when he went to a place with people, he calculated it based on the time.
"Tie, born from heaven and earth, has an unknown lifespan!"
After finding out about himself, Gu Zheng's brows jumped. His introduction was actually so simple. He was born from heaven and earth and his longevity was unknown. Gu Zheng tried to trace his previous life, but there was none.
"Taotie, born from heaven and earth, his lifespan is unknown, and there will be great trouble in the future!"
Tao was as simple as him in the book of life and death, but he had four more words than him: "There will be a disaster later." These few words made Gu Zheng's heart skip a beat, and he couldn't help but look at Tao again.
In later generations, Gu Zheng did not know the existence of Tao at all, and his master Tie Xian never mentioned that he had such a brother who was born with him. In other words, in later generations, Gu Zheng had never heard of this person.
This is tantamount to saying that he will not exist in future generations.
If he existed, he would not be so unknown. Tie Immortal has become a saint. Even if Tao has not become a saint, he still has the strength of a quasi-sage. The worst is that a top Daluo Jinxian cannot escape. With Tie Immortal here, he will still be able to He is a great man from ancient times.
No, the most likely possibility is that he died long ago, so the people behind him don't know of his existence.
There is a catastrophe behind this sentence, which has become a concern for Gu Zheng. He doesn't know what kind of catastrophe it will be. He couldn't escape it last time, and he doesn't know if Tao will be able to escape it this time.
"What does it say here?"
Tao was very curious. He frowned at Gu Zheng and couldn't help but ask.
"The book says that we were both born from heaven and earth, which means we have neither father nor mother. We are the only two closest people in this world!"
Gu Zheng took his hand and told him with a smile that Gu Zheng didn't tell him the contents of the life and death book, and there was no need to tell him. When they succeed in cultivation and jump out of the five elements in the future, there will be no more in the life and death book. Their names are gone.
Gu Zheng had no intention of letting Tao read these words.
"Yes, we are the closest people. They all have parents, but we don't!"
Tao nodded, quickly raised his head again, and asked curiously: "Then, will we have children in the future?"
"child?"
Gu Zheng was stunned. He didn't expect Tao to ask such a question. He couldn't help but smile: "Of course you can. When you grow up, you can also have children, but you have to find a woman to have children. We can't have children ourselves!"
"Can't one person give birth to a child?" Tao continued to ask like a curious baby.
"Of course, no, you can give birth alone, but not now, maybe in the future!"
Gu Zheng was about to say no, but suddenly he remembered the famous Zimu Spring. Not all people in the Daughter Kingdom have children alone. In other words, it is theoretically possible for people to have children alone.
Gu Zheng still doesn’t know whether the Zimu Spring is real. Anyway, he has never seen the ancient times in later generations. But even if not, in later generations, with artificial sperm banks, a woman can give birth on her own. The prerequisite is that there is artificial sperm. insemination.
So what he said is not wrong.
After whispering to Tao, the two of them went to rest. Gu Zheng still took practice as a break. Now Gu Zheng is more diligent than before. Having had a practice experience, he is very clear about the consequences of not having strength, especially In the early days of the prehistoric times, if you don't have strength, you basically can't go anywhere.
There are not as many talented people as before, but now it is even more chaotic. There are many different races. The human race is still very weak. If you are not careful, you can become the food of a demon or witch race.
Early the next morning, the group continued on their way. Longhu Town was not their target, they were going to Fucheng.
The so-called Fucheng's name is not just Fucheng, but Anzhifu, which was built into Fucheng.
Longhu Town knows more about Fucheng. Through inquiring, they also have a certain understanding of Fucheng.
An's Mansion does not belong to any country, it is a separate city. There is the city owner's family in the city, that is, the An family. In addition to the An family, there are five major families, and they jointly manage the entire city.
However, their jurisdiction is only within the city, not outside the city. At this time, no one goes outside the city to collect grain and collect taxes. If they just want to enter the city, they must hand over something.
This may be good, as the people outside the city will be exempted from excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes, but similarly, if they have something to do, the people in the city will not help them, and the people outside are not under their jurisdiction.
It can be said that the current concept of the country is still very weak. When a country is truly established, it will not be like this. Then everything around it will definitely be regarded as the territory of this country, and tax collection will become indispensable.
Anzhifu has a large population. According to people in Longhu Town, Anzhifu has a population of 200,000 to 300,000 people all year round. It is nothing in the prehistoric times of later generations. There are many cities with millions of people in the prehistoric times. Three hundred thousand can only be considered a medium price, but at this time, it is already considered a big city.
Gu Zheng and the others were not in a hurry or in a hurry. The three carriages slowly and leisurely headed towards Fucheng.
There are obviously more people on the road from Longhu Town to Fucheng, and you can meet some people from time to time, but most of them are walking, there are very few people riding horses, and even fewer people have carriages. There are almost no three carriages like them. There are people along the way. Many people looked at them.
But he just looked at it, and soon his eyes shifted.
Wu You held a waist knife in his hand and carried a long bow on his back. Ma Duo and the other four men also held a knife each. They knew at a glance that they were not easy to mess with. Gu Zheng also specially changed the styles of their knives. It is more practical and lighter and will not be noticed by people in the city. Some of the knives used to belong to them.
Two days later, they arrived at Fucheng. They looked at the high city wall and many people coming in and out of the city gate. Whether it was Aunt Cui or Wu You, their mouths were wide open. Ma Duo was stronger than the others, but he was still strong. Limited, he had never seen such a big city. The huge city walls gave him a sense of power. Such walls also brought a sense of security, making them feel like they were living inside without fear of any wild beasts.
Even monsters can't easily break through such a wall.
"Let's go into the city!"
Gu Zheng smiled and inquired in Longhu Town yesterday. Weapons can be brought into the city, but they must be reported to the guard at the city gate. Many people from surrounding villages and towns in the city come to trade, and some wealthy families have their own weapons. Protect the hospital with weapons.
It is said that there are five to six thousand dedicated soldiers in the city, and they are not afraid of ordinary people causing trouble at all.
Five thousand soldiers are a force that most people can't even imagine. There is no force around that can organize such a force. Therefore, An Zhifu has become the largest force within thousands of miles and has become the heart of many people. The place you yearn for.
