Chapter 249: The Evil Emperor's Relics
"I wonder why Master Lu Miaozi says so? What is so special about the Great Sui Dynasty?" Ye Xiu couldn't help but ask Lu Miaozi.
"Brother, I originally didn't intend to tell you this, but you insisted on wanting the Evil Emperor's relic, so I have to persuade you," Lu Miaozi sighed.
"Is the situation in the Great Sui Dynasty related to the Evil Emperor's relic? I hope Master Lu Miaozi can advise me." Ye Xiu corrected his gaze and asked seriously.
"The Evil Emperor's relic was originally a burial object of an ancient nobleman, unearthed from the tomb of the Evil Emperor Xie Bo. Later, he discovered that the Evil Emperor's relic could actually store true essence, and so it was passed down through the Evil Emperor's lineage from generation to generation." "
Originally, this was a sacred object belonging only to the Evil Emperor's lineage. However, at some point, when the Evil Emperor's lineage was passed down to Xiang Yutian, Xiang Yutian suddenly disappeared, and the Evil Emperor's relic was then passed out. After countless twists and turns, it finally came into the hands of my good friend Yang Su. Because we have a very good relationship, he lent it to me for research." When Lu Miaozi said this, his expression became somewhat subtle.
"Master Lu Miaozi, what did you discover from the Evil Emperor's relic?" Ye Xiu couldn't help but ask.
"Indeed! I'm naturally more curious than most. After obtaining the Evil Emperor's relic, I conducted some research on it. I discovered that it possesses the power to bewitch people. Anyone exposed to it for too long experiences a drastic personality change, becoming almost completely different from their original self, as if transformed into a completely different person." "
That's when I finally understood why my old friend Yang Su's personality had drastically changed, and why he even attempted rebellion. The root cause was the Evil Emperor's relic."
"I once urged Yang Su to discard the relic, but he refused to listen. After the rebellion failed, he suddenly came to his senses and entrusted me with the construction of the Yanggong Treasury. He then instructed me to place the Evil Emperor's relic there, ensuring it would never see the light of day again," Lu Miaozi explained.
"The Evil Emperor's relic can actually bewitch people?" Ye Xiu frowned. "But how does this relate to the lack of Grandmasters in the Sui Dynasty?"
"What I'm about to say is the key," Lu Miaozi said, shaking his head.
Upon hearing this, Ye Xiu perked up and listened carefully to Lu Miaozi's next words.
"I've discovered that everyone who has ever possessed the Evil Emperor's relic has died, without exception. Even long ago, while the number of Grand Masters in the Great Sui Dynasty wasn't small, it definitely wasn't like the current situation of only two, and those were at the lowest level of the Vajra Realm."
"Back then, even Celestial Grand Masters existed in the Great Sui Dynasty, but they're all dead. This includes Celestial Grand Masters, Profound Grand Masters, and even some at the Vajra Realm. They all died shortly after obtaining the Evil Emperor's relic." "
And according to my investigation, in the period before these Grand Masters' deaths, without exception, their personalities changed."
"That's why I promised Yang Su to seal the Evil Emperor's relic in Yang Gong's treasury, preventing it from seeing the light of day."
"But for some reason, rumors have suddenly spread that whoever possesses Yang Gong's treasury and the Heshi Bi will rule the world."
"It's clear that neither the Heshi Bi nor Yang Gong's Treasury can help anyone conquer the world. Just like the Heshi Bi, it's just a symbol. If the one who possesses the Heshi Bi truly conquered the world, then the world would have long been under the control of Cihang Jingzhai. As for Yang Gong's Treasury, the lacquer surface does contain a vast amount of gold, silver, jewelry, armor, and weapons, but if that could have helped someone conquer the world, Yang Su's rebellion wouldn't have failed." Lu Miaozi's expression grew increasingly serious and strange.
"After all, people always love these kinds of rumors, just like the Mongol Yuan Dynasty's rumor: The Supreme Martial Artist, the Dragon Slaying Sword, commands the world, and no one dares to disobey. Without the Yitian Sword, no one can challenge him. The Dragon Slaying Sword and the Yitian Sword have similarly been fought over by many, and the Dragon Slaying Sword has passed through many hands, but no one has ever truly commanded the world." Ye Xiu shook his head.
Suddenly, Ye Xiu felt a certain similarity between the Great Sui Dynasty's "Yang Gong's Treasures and the Heshi Bi, if you possess one of the two, you can conquer the world" and "The Supreme Being of the Martial World, the Dragon Slaying Sword, commands the world, no one dares to disobey, and without the Yitian Sword , who can challenge him?" Ye Xiu didn't know whether it was a sudden impulse or something else, but he just felt that the two seemed to have some strange connection.
"The Supreme Being of the Martial World, the Dragon Slaying Sword, commands the world, no one dares to disobey, and without the Yitian Sword, who can challenge him? Hey, this statement really is similar to the Great Sui Dynasty's "One of the Heshi Bi and Yang Gong's Treasures, you can conquer the world." Lu Miaozi sneered, his eyes filled with disdain for those who pursued the Heshi Bi, Yang Gong's Treasures, the Dragon Slaying Sword, and the Yitian Sword.
Lu Miaozi instinctively felt that there was some kind of conspiracy between the two.
"Indeed," Ye Xiu nodded. He no longer desired the Evil Emperor's relic as much as before. In fact, before he'd figured out the situation, he'd even been somewhat resistant to the idea.
After all, according to Lu Miaozi, countless Vajra Realm Grandmasters, Profound Finger Realm Grandmasters, and even Celestial Realm Grandmasters had fallen victim to the Evil Emperor's relic.
"So, young man, what's our deal?" Lu Miaozi's expression changed, and he looked at Ye Xiu with a faintly flattering smile.
Clearly, Lu Miaozi didn't want to die if he could live.
But that was true; who would want to die if they could live, especially since Lu Miaozi still had concerns.
"Since Master Lu Miaozi has told me this, I naturally won't burn bridges. Master Lu Miaozi, I will help you heal your injuries." In Ye Xiu's view, Lu Miaozi's information was enough to convince him to help him heal.
After all, if Lu Miaozi hadn't told Ye Xiu this news, and had allowed Ye Xiu to go directly to retrieve the Evil Emperor's relic, Ye Xiu himself might have been in real danger, even his own life. Trading his own life for Lu Miaozi's wasn't a loss.
"Alright, young man, I was right. Take this Six-Fruit Brew recipe, and whatever else you like, feel free to take." Lu Miaozi laughed heartily, then acted as if he was letting Ye Xiu choose.
Ye Xiu wasn't shy about this, after all, Lu Miaozi did have quite a few good things.
First, there were various secret manuals, all of which Lu Miaozi had collected and even compiled himself. Then there were weapons and other secret martial arts manuals.
For example, in the original novel, there was the scimitar Jing Zhongyue given to Ye Xiu, and the Shield One Sword Technique given to Xu Ziling.
Of course, these things weren't of much use to Ye Xiu himself. After all, Ye Xiu was already a Grandmaster, and with his diary, he would surely acquire even more goodies in the future.
It just didn't do much for Ye Xiu himself, but it could increase the foundation of Huashan Sect.
Huashan Sect was now almost in Ye Xiu's hands. He had even gone to find Ping Yizhi to become Miss Yue, the former Sect Leader. As long as Ye Xiu was willing, the position of Sect Leader could fall on him at any time.
Now that Huashan Sect was his, Ye Xiu naturally had to consider Huashan Sect, improve its overall strength, strengthen its foundation, and so on.
"It's very late today, and I just got here, so I'm not in good shape. So rest well tonight, recharge your batteries, and we'll officially start treatment tomorrow, how about that?" Ye Xiu said to Lu Miaozi.
"Okay, tomorrow then." Although Lu Miaozi hoped to receive treatment right now, he also knew that today was not the best time to heal his wounds, and he could afford to wait another day.
Lu Miaozi arranged a place for Ye Xiu to live in this cozy nest, and Ye Xiu was quite satisfied with the environment.
After all, Lu Miaozi himself was well versed in knowledge of mechanisms and architecture, and since he named it Cozy Nest again, he naturally made it very comfortable. Therefore, Ye Xiu was quite satisfied with the environment here. Although it could not be said to be luxurious, in terms of living conditions, it was indeed the best Ye Xiu had ever encountered.
After Lu Miaozi left, Ye Xiu took out his diary and began to write today's diary.
"Today I finally arrived at Pegasus Ranch. Without alerting anyone, I quietly lurked in the back mountain of Pegasus Ranch and came to Lu Miaozi's cozy home." "
I have to say, the cozy home built by Lu Miaozi is quite good. Whether it's the mechanisms or the layout, it's all quite exquisite."
"As for Lu Miaozi himself, he seems to be a very charming old man."
"But he himself has been tortured by Zhu Yuyan's Heavenly Demon Qi for decades. His body is about to collapse and can't hold on any longer. If I hadn't come today, he would probably have died in half a year or a year at most." "
It's also fortunate that I am practicing the complete version of the Longevity Art. In addition, I am now a Grandmaster, and Zhu Yuyan, who injured Lu Miaozi, is still a Grandmaster. Her Heavenly Demon Qi has not yet evolved to the Grandmaster level. Therefore, I can expel the Heavenly Demon Qi in Lu Miaozi's body." "
Then, I made a deal with him on the condition of helping him heal his wounds and keep him alive. I asked him to tell me about Yang Gong's treasure house and let me get the Evil Emperor's relic."
"I originally thought that this transaction should go smoothly. But unexpectedly, Lu Miaozi told me a very important news, that is, the Evil Emperor's relic, which is extremely strange!"
"According to Lu Miaozi, during the Sui Dynasty, there were many martial arts masters in the world. Even though there were not many Grandmasters, there were still quite a few. However, this Evil Emperor's relic circulated among these Grandmasters in the Vajra Realm, the Profound Realm, and even the Celestial Realm. All of these Grandmasters who handled the Evil Emperor's relic died inexplicably, and their personalities changed drastically before they died. No one was an exception."
"When I heard this news, I felt uneasy. This Evil Emperor's relic is too weird, isn't it?"
"Although, because I haven't seen it with my own eyes, I can't be sure of the truth of Lu Miaozi's words. But, even when I might refuse the transaction and refuse to save his life because I couldn't get the Evil Emperor's relic, he still said so and refused to tell me the whereabouts of the Evil Emperor's relic. So I think Lu Miaozi's words should be true."
"In Lu Miaozi's opinion, the saying circulating in the martial arts world of the Sui Dynasty that 'whoever gets the Heshi Bi or Yang Gong's treasure house can seize the world' is ridiculous. After all, the Heshi Bi had been in the hands of Cihang Jingzhai before, and Cihang Jingzhai failed to become the emperor. As for the original owner of Yang Gong's treasure house, Yang Su, he failed in his rebellion. How could the things he left behind allow the obtainer to seize the world? This is also quite ridiculous." "
And after hearing Lu Miaozi say this rumor, I thought of a saying circulating in the territory of the Yuan Dynasty: 'The supreme master of the martial arts world, the sword that slays dragons, commands the world, no one dares to disobey, if the Yitian doesn't come out, who can compete with him!'"
"This sentence seems to be very similar to 'whoever gets the Heshi Bi or Yang Gong's treasure house can seize the world'."
"If these two rumors were not circulated in the Sui Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty respectively, and the two countries were far apart and had no contact, otherwise I would really suspect that these two rumors were made up by the same person."
"Forget it, anyway, I don't plan to touch the evil emperor's relic."
"After all, with the diary in hand, even if I eat and sleep, sleep and eat, and wait for death all day long, I can still become a land immortal. If it weren't for that guy Pang Ban who was eyeing me covetously and had been coveting my body, I would not bother to do so." "
Speaking of which, this Lu Miaozi is also very capable. I clearly disguised myself, but he could tell at a glance that I was disguised. I originally thought that my disguise skills were not good, but I didn't expect that the reason why Lu Miaozi was able to see through my disguise was because he was also proficient in physiognomy. He said that my face was not right, there were too many contradictions, and the proportions of my face and body were not right, so he thought I was disguised." "
Since he saw through it, I simply undo the disguise. But I didn't expect that when Lu Miaozi saw my handsome face, he actually bowed down directly, and kept trying to sell his daughter Shang Xiuxun to me, and asked me to marry Shang Xiuxun and be his son-in-law."
"I said I know I'm very handsome, but there's no need to do this."
"Later, after asking, I understood that Lu Miaozi could tell from my face that I was a man who would bring good luck to his wife, and that I was extremely lucky, so he wanted his daughter to marry me." "
But I didn't agree. After all, there were already many women around me. The most important thing is that I'm not from the Sui Dynasty. And Shang Xiuxun, I don't think she would abandon the Pegasus Ranch given to her by her mother and go back to the Ming Dynasty with me, right?" "
In that case, then let's not know each other."
"But the face of bringing good luck to my wife - why don't I feel it? Did Dongfang, Yaoyue and Murong Qiudi get lucky with me?" "
According to Lu Miaozi, I am a man who would bring good luck to my wife, and under the suppression of this fate of bringing good luck to my wife, I, a person with such good peach blossom luck, have not turned into a peach blossom evil." "
Forget it, Lu Miaozi said that I bring good luck to his wife, so I will. I really hope that Dongfang and the others can be blessed by me. After all, she is good, she is good, she is good, they are good, and I am good too."
Ye Xiu closed the diary and recorded his internal strength cultivation in the month after his aptitude increased tenfold. Ye Xiu's cultivation level broke through directly and then reached the second level of Grandmaster. Ye Xiu even felt that this speed of progress was faster than when he was still a Grandmaster.
After writing the diary and receiving the reward, Ye Xiu fell asleep. After all, he needed a good rest to restore his condition to the best so that he could help Lu Miaozi heal his injuries tomorrow.
Ye Xiu fell asleep directly.
But now there was someone who couldn't sleep.
Not to mention that Lu Miaozi had trouble sleeping due to her excitement. Shang Xiuxun, Lu Miaozi's daughter, was startled when she saw Ye Xiu write in his diary that he had arrived at Pegasus Ranch. Then, she was filled with anticipation. She really wanted to meet this man who might help Lu Miaozi survive, and possibly even help Pegasus Ranch deal with the Four Bandits and resolve the crisis.
However, when the diary later mentioned that Lu Miaozi actually wanted her to marry the person who wrote the diary, her cheeks flushed.
Even though she was alone in the room, she subconsciously felt shy after reading this, and gritted her teeth, "That bastard Lu Miaozi, he and I have nothing to do with each other now, and he actually wanted to interfere in my marriage."
However, when she saw the diary mentioning that Lu Miaozi wanted Shang Xiuxun to be handed over to the person who wrote the diary, but was rejected by the person, Shang Xiuxun was stunned, and then angry. She had never expected that she would be disliked one day.
Fortunately, the diary later explained that the reason for the rejection was that the Pegasus Ranch was located in the Sui Dynasty, and the other party was from the Ming Dynasty and was destined to return to the Ming Dynasty. This gave Shang Xiuxun some leverage.
"But, is the Evil Emperor's relic that strange?" Shang Xiuxun couldn't help but mutter.
However, Shang Xiuxun only glanced at the Evil Emperor's relic and didn't take it too seriously.
Because of her own strength, things like the Evil Emperor's Relics were destined to have nothing to do with her, so she was too lazy to spend too much energy to pay attention to them.
For Shang Xiuxun, instead of paying attention to the Evil Emperor's Relics, it would be better to pay more attention to the fact that she was almost sold out by her cheap father.
At the same time, Shang Xiuxun was really curious about Ye Xiu's appearance.
Is Ye Xiu really that good-looking? Is he really that handsome?
If Ye Xiu is really that handsome, then what would his face look like when he is known as the most beautiful man in the world?
This is what Shang Xiuxun, a woman, pays the most attention to.
What Evil Emperor's Relics, what can enhance people's strength, what Evil Emperor's Relics are very evil, and how many grandmasters have been killed. For a woman, these are not worth mentioning in front of Ye Xiu's appearance.
