Immortal Road.

Chapter 480: Causal Seal, the Golden Bell

Lin Shan ignored Ji Ge's ridicule and picked up the broken bowl calmly.

For the first time, the reinforced panel gave an ambiguous identification!
【Bowl】(Broken)

Quality: Normal

Introduction: This doesn't seem to be just an ordinary broken bowl. Perhaps it was once downgraded, or sealed by a mysterious cause and effect, or perhaps it hides some secrets?

(Please identify the owner of this item, resolve the related cause and effect, and identify it again.)
Enhancement required: None

"Identify after recognition. Why?"

"Cause and effect? ​​Seal?"

It was the first time that Lin Shan heard that these two things could be read together.

Cause and effect, anyone can tell you what cause and effect is.

But if you ask him to really explain the origin of this thing, you will find that it is a mess and he still can't explain it even if you force him to death.

The cause and effect relationship between him and Master Pu was simply "You brought me in, and I took care of your affairs after your death." From now on, it was settled. They owed nothing to each other, and their personal cause and effect cycle was completed.

However, from the robbery case that both of them were involved in, as well as the bond of Lin's Escort Agency, countless people and causes and effects were involved.

It is possible that the cause and effect can be traced back to dozens of generations, provided that the person responsible has not changed.

If we trace back a cause and effect from the top, we will find countless lines in the past. If we extend it from the bottom, we will also find countless lines in the future.

When countless causes and effects are intertwined, you can imagine how troublesome it is. Billions of lines are intertwined, even a true immortal can't figure it out!

When it comes to the concepts of time and space, cause and effect are definitely not something that he can access and understand at his level.

"Oh, oh, oh, what are you looking at with a broken bowl in your hand?"

Seeing that he didn't move for a long time, Brother Chicken stretched out his chicken neck from his shoulders, stuck out his chicken head to block him, and looked at the broken bowl with his eyes squinting.

Lin Shan's eyes focused, and just as he came to his senses, he wordlessly moved the chicken head in front of him aside.

"Let me try to recognize a master first."

Generally speaking, the way a magic weapon recognizes its master is to first master it and then sacrifice and refine it.

Use magic power to control it, and then use soul or blood to refine it. This is the so-called "soul sacrifice" and "blood sacrifice".

Control of magic power means controlling the inscriptions and prohibitions in magic tools or magic treasures. This is the first step.

When he channeled his magic power into the broken bowl and let it circulate around, he found that it was just an ordinary broken bowl. The description on the enhancement panel was correct, there was no grade.

Without inscriptions and prohibitions for him to perform rituals, he naturally had no way of controlling it.

"Can't you use the magic power to make sacrifices?"

Then you can only skip the first step and proceed directly to the second step.

However, no matter whether he offered a soul sacrifice or a blood sacrifice, there was still no response.

"What are you fiddling with there? How can you use an ordinary pottery bowl to make a sacrifice and recognize its master?"

Brother Ji found it funny to see him doing even the "blood oath of recognition" thing.

This is just like picking up a stone on the road, dripping blood on it and thinking that you can use it as a magic weapon?

It’s just a dream!
In those legends and anecdotes, there are indeed stones or plants that are born and raised by nature and can be directly refined into magic weapons. Even some things stained with the blood of true spiritual creatures can become spiritual after thousands of years.

But no matter whether it is an innate spiritual object or the blood of a true spirit, it contains inscriptions and principles of the Tao, so it can be sacrificed.

An ordinary mortal object, nothing at all, that is, something that cannot be sacrificed or recognized as an owner.

But Lin Shan didn't believe it, because the strengthening panel said that it could recognize the master, then it could definitely recognize the master!

If you recognize the master and unravel the cause and effect, it might turn out to be an unimaginable treasure!

He then tried various methods to try to force it to recognize him as his master, but this broken bowl seemed to be an ordinary object and resisted to the end, refusing to budge.

The only thing we discovered was that it seemed to be extremely durable and incredibly hard!

"Eh? No!"

Lin Shan suddenly felt that this broken bowl was not as fragile as he had imagined. With an idea, he directly burned it with the Netherworld Ghost Fire!
Unexpectedly.

The dark green soul fire burned fiercely, and the broken bowl floated up and down in the fire, but it was not hurt at all!
"!!!"

Now even Brother Ji can see that he is extraordinary!
It was not willing to be outdone. White light shot out from its two chicken eyes, and the ghost fire around the broken bowl was directly defeated on the spot!

Then circles of Taibai golden flames emerged.

Lin Shan's sea of ​​consciousness shook, and his soul pill was almost taken over by the golden flame. Fortunately, his spiritual consciousness was strong and it cut off quickly. If it had been slower, he would have had a concussion!

He was secretly surprised. Brother Ji's Taibai Golden Flame was indeed overbearing. No wonder the three evil spirit brothers were so scared. His own Netherworld Ghost Fire was just a younger brother in front of them and he didn't even have the ability to resist.

What was even more surprising was that this broken bowl did not show any unusual signs when being calcined by the Taibai Golden Flame. It just floated up and down in the fire and could not be damaged.

"What the hell!"

It was the first time that Brother Ji saw something that could remain intact in his own flames, and he had to admit that it was definitely a treasure.

Then the man and the chicken started to tinker under the locust tree, and they didn't even bother to pay attention to the old beggar Pu Jie next to them.

Pu Jie originally pretended that he saw nothing, but he couldn't stand the various jingling sounds over there, and occasionally he turned back to take a look!
Hold the grass!

A talking chicken!

The eyes can spit fire!

My three perspectives were completely shattered at that moment, and I almost died of fright.

What kind of monster is this? Oh my god! I can’t see it, I can’t see it, I don’t see anything!
He turned his back to the wall and squatted there shivering.

After a while.

Lin Shan and Ji Ge had to admit that they were helpless with this broken bowl. They tried every possible method but it just wouldn't recognize its owner.

"Why do you insist on recognizing the Lord?"

Brother Ji shook the broken bowl. Since it was very hard, there was no need to worry about it breaking.

Lin Shan couldn't possibly tell it that this was what the reinforcement panel said, and that only by recognizing its master could the mystery be solved, so he had to evade it with a few vague words.

Brother Ji held the broken bowl with his wings and took out a pile of grain from somewhere, all of which were obtained by fleecing the Reed Demon King at the demon conference, and poured it into the bowl.

He then took out a piece of fried dough cake and put it on top.

He smacked his lips and seemed very satisfied with the size and width.

"This bowl is solid enough to be used for eating and also for begging!"

Lin Shan frowned: "Begging for food?"

Brother Chicken jumped up happily, chewing on the oil cake and pecking at the millet, and chattering non-stop.

"Do you know how the legendary Buddhism came to be? Didn't the Buddhas all start from humble beginnings and become monks and beg for alms?"

"My Kun Sect also has lofty aspirations! So we should start with begging."

"Since I can't figure out how to use this bowl, I'll just use it to beg for food."

It turned around and jumped to the corner, looked at the old beggar Pu Jie, and asked with a "oh oh oh" sound.

"dont you agree?"

"Ahh. Yes, yes, yes!"

"Do you want to eat the oil cake?" "No, no."

Pu Jie didn't understand what Kunism was, but that didn't stop him from agreeing with it. It was unbelievable that chickens could become spirits these days. If he angered this old man and got eaten by him, there would be no way to complain.

Brother Chicken patted him gently with his wings and told him not to be afraid.

"We chickens eat grains and rice, and occasionally we eat bugs and earthworms. Don't worry, we don't eat people!"

The old beggar trembled and said, "You have become a spirit, how can I know whether you really don't eat humans or whether you are pretending to eat humans?"

Next, Lin Shan lived in the yard for a few days.

Mainly sitting.

As the saying goes, save people to the end, send Buddha to the west.

Since I have to take care of the younger generation for Master Pu, I can't just leave. I have to take care of everything before leaving.

For example, after the transfer of the house deed, it was necessary to report to the government, so he accompanied the person.

After that, many hooligans and creditors from casinos came to his door, but he dealt with them one by one.

In the end, Pu Jie was married to an older widow who was able to have children.

Now the Pu family is no longer extinct.

Of course, whether the old beggar can regain his strength and have a child in his old age is not a problem he needs to consider.

Out of devotion, he secretly left him some aphrodisiac that was used exclusively in the cultivation world but was not very strong.

Now that I've done all this, I can finally take Master Pu's heirloom with peace of mind, right?

"Ohhhh, where are we going next?"

On the way, Brother Ji asked Lin Shan about his next itinerary.

Lin Shan had just solved the mystery of the dream and fulfilled Master Pu’s long-cherished wish. He felt relieved and at ease.

In fact, now that I am setting off to return to Lu, I can say that I have no regrets.

However, he was a little reluctant to give up the Black Lotus Sect. After all, this evil cult was closely linked to ancient culture, and it would be a shame not to get involved.

Besides, he is also a legitimate descendant of the Black Lotus Sect!
In the past, as the messenger of the altar, those who stole food would be skinned and have their tendons pulled out by the upper layer.

Now that I am in the Jindan stage, is there any senior member of the sect who can control me?
After finally returning, he unexpectedly learned about the remnants of the Black Lotus Sect. He felt uncomfortable if he didn't look for the Black Lotus statue.

"I plan to visit the Black Lotus Sect. After all, it is my old employer."

Before he could finish his words, the chicken on his shoulder jumped three feet high.

"Oh oh oh! Lin Shan, I was right about you!"

"That's right!"

"As the founders of a new sect, we should learn from each other's strengths and make up for our weaknesses. We should draw on the experience of the old sects so that we can avoid taking detours!"

"I actually had the same idea. We finally think alike!"

“Looking back many years later, the leader of the Xun Gu Sect and the leader of the Kun Sect teamed up to visit the Black Lotus Sect together. This must have become a legend!”

Brother Ji is obviously not a quiet person and will go wherever there is danger.

"Uh"

Lin Shan didn't know how to refute for a moment. He actually wanted to grow up very much. If it wasn't necessary, he didn't bother to find the Black Lotus Sect. It was just that it was not convenient to talk about Gu Yun's matter.

No matter how trustworthy Lin Fan and Brother Ji are, the secret of the golden finger must never be revealed. He is the only one in the world who knows it!

"Well, if you want to learn from me, then we can go together."

Brother Ji wanted to learn from the sect's experience, so Lin Shan found an excuse to return to the sect and seize power.

When he heard the word "seize power", Brother Ji became even more excited and urged him to go find the Black Lotus Sect as soon as possible.

"But, from what you said, the Black Lotus Sect was wiped out by the righteous, and only a few remnants are left hiding in the sewers. Where can we find them?"

Lin Shan pondered for a moment and told it not to be anxious, as he already had an idea.

"I originally thought that during the few days that I was in Qinghe County dealing with Master Pu's funeral, there should be some news from Lin Fan, but there has been no news from him so far, so we naturally can't just sit there and wait for him."

"Why don't we go to the neighboring Zangke County first? I happened to have made a move there in my early years. There is a local snake family that I can use to get information."

"Moreover, as the intersection of Southwest Guizhou and the Southern Barbarians, the Nightingale branch there has a large number of people and a wider range of contacts, and is much more informed than Qinghe County. We can also use this channel."

"As long as we can get some clues about the Black Lotus Sect, the next step is to follow the clues and find out who is behind it."

Seeing that Lin Shan was confident, Brother Ji couldn't help but nod his head frequently and crowed.

The man and the chicken made up their minds to cross the mountains and head straight to Zangke County.

Zangke County City is an important town in southern Xinjiang.

Since the King of the Southern Barbarians established the Dali Kingdom in the south, he had frequently sent troops to harass the Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty was extremely annoyed, but was not good at fighting deep in the jungle, so it could only build fortresses to defend itself.

In fact, behind the Dali Kingdom of the Nanman King is the top sect in the South China Sea, Linyuzhai, which secretly supports it in the world of cultivation.

The dispute between the southern part of the Song Dynasty and the Dali Kingdom is also a microcosm of the thousand-year-long fierce battle between the Beast Taming Valley and Lin Yu Zhai.

Although Zixiao Sect and Qianyun Pavilion are both the three major sects of the Song Dynasty, they will naturally not care about it for their own interests. Letting an external enemy watch at the doorstep of Yushou Valley can play a role in restraining internal strife.

The balance of power in the world of cultivation is basically reflected in the mortal world.

However, the county governor and garrison commanders of Zangke County have been replaced one after another, but the local powerful people are deeply rooted here and have hardly changed.

Zhao family.

He rose to prominence several decades ago and became the aide of the county magistrate at that time, gaining his trust. Later, when the county magistrate left office at the end of his term and returned to Beijing for promotion, he was promoted to a clerk.

Then, in the following days, he rose through the ranks from clerk, attendant, chief clerk, and chief clerk, and his family behind him also gradually rose with the tide and became more and more prosperous.

Its main business areas include antiques, jade articles, stone rubbings, calligraphy and paintings, etc. Later, it developed the gambling stone business and made a lot of money.

All this was thanks to the fact that before Lin Shan left, the head of the Zhao family provided a list of mortal enemies, and Lin Shan went to warn them one by one, making these people mistakenly believe that the Zhao family had a martial arts master who had reached the state of innate perfection!
From then on, no one dared to target them, which is why they have been able to get along smoothly until now.

West City Antique Shop.

Magnificent and magnificent.

It has now become a landmark building in the city of Zangke County, and the things inside are priceless.

"Hey, sir, please come in!"

The waiter at the door had a good way of judging people. The young man in white in front of him was very graceful and had a distinguished temperament. It was obvious that he came from a noble family.

Although he had secretly checked the names of all the famous families in the city and found that none of them matched this one, it did not affect his judgment in receiving distinguished guests over the years.

He bent his waist, guided Lin Shan inside with his empty hand, and praised him audibly.

"The young master is handsome like jade, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes. The chicken on his shoulder is also majestic and proud, colorful and eye-catching, and handsome! It can be said that the silver saddle shines on the white horse, and it gallops like a meteor!"

In the first half of the song, Brother Ji felt very comfortable hearing the compliments. He straightened his chest and erected his comb, looking so proud!
It's just that the second half of the sentence is a little off.

What's the point of a silver saddle on a white horse? Am I not a chicken?
Just as it was about to ask a question, Lin Shan had anticipated it and directly covered its mouth with his hand to prevent it from speaking and causing shock to these mortals.

The waiter led the way to the reception hall and pointed to a treasure in the middle.

"This golden bell was unearthed from the ancient tomb of Yelang. It is not for sale. It is the treasure of our antique shop!"
