Although the Heavenly Book is difficult to compile, it is not necessarily precious. It is just that it is rare. Ji Yuan estimates that although the requirements for materials are not high, the requirements for the compiler are high, so reading it is difficult and troublesome.
It is impossible for this land god to have a clear understanding of the Tao, and he should not be able to understand the mysteries. As for those with wisdom and fate, he may not be able to do so either.
When Ji Yuan mentioned the heavenly book, the God of Land became a little excited.
"Sir, it's an incredible treasure, isn't it?"
"This heavenly book is just a way of recording textual content. It is not necessarily valuable in itself. It depends on the content itself. The content written on the yellow paper book of the Earth God is called "Zhengde Baogong Records."
Ji Yuan pointed at the yellow paper book and explained to the God of Land, then glanced at the beginning and explained a few more sentences.
"It seems to be a treasure book of revelations involving Shinto and the cultivation of connecting to earth veins. The opening words mentioned some Shinto confirmations, but I haven't read the rest in detail yet."
Firstly, Ji Yuan didn't know much about Shinto and wasn't interested in it. Secondly, this was a book by the God of Land after all, so it would be inappropriate to read too much of the content before asking for his opinion.
"gentlemen!"
The God of Land hurriedly got down from the millstone and bowed respectfully to Ji Yuan.
"Please read the contents of the book for me, sir. I have kept this book here for more than a hundred years. It cannot be torn or shredded, and it cannot be damaged by water or fire. It also does not absorb spiritual energy or incense. I also asked the county god to take a look, but he also found nothing. I hope you can teach me!"
"Hmm? The city god of a county can't see it?"
Ji Yuan asked in surprise.
"I'm not lying. In fact, the City God mentioned the Heavenly Book at the beginning, and he also said that this yellow paper book is not it. Since you can see the words on the yellow paper, I hope you can teach me!"
"Don't bow to me yet, God of Land. Let me think about it!"
Ji Yuan reached out to support the God of Land and frowned as he looked at the folded yellow paper without a cover or any casing.
Although the heavenly book is difficult to read, with the spiritual practice of a county god, if he looks carefully in a state of concentration with no distractions, he will definitely be able to see the words. This is not a guess but a confirmation.
Regardless of the strength of the City God or the power of his magic, his status as the City God of a county is still there.
In other words, this might not be an ordinary heavenly book, or it might require some other conditions
Of course, it is difficult for Ji Yuan himself to make an analogy for this condition. After all, his eyes are really special, so the most likely reason may be found in the book.
"Lord of the Land, let me take a look at the contents of this yellow paper first."
"Okay, sir, please look carefully!"
The God of Land wished that Ji Yuan would read it carefully and then dictate it to him. It would be even better if he could pick up a pen and write it down for him.
Ji Yuan had already focused his attention on the yellow paper and unfolded the entire piece of yellow paper, which was about the same size as a newspaper in later generations.
The more Ji Yuan frowned, the more the whole content seemed to be no different from other heavenly books, but upon closer inspection, he found that the writing was not smooth in some places. This might be possible for a student with little knowledge, but it was extremely unlikely to happen in such a mysterious heavenly book.
'Like some irrelevant words squeezed in every other paragraph?'
The God of Land did not dare to say a word and stood carefully aside. He saw that the mysterious master's eyes, which had been half-open, gradually widened, allowing him to clearly see the calm blue color of the ancient well.
In Ji Yuan's eyes, the yellow paper book in his hand was changing. The awkward words and phrases that were originally interspersed between the paragraphs actually had energy flowing, circulating on the entire yellow paper to form a blurry picture covering the surface of the paper.
Moreover, the colors kept changing, showing white gold, black water, green wood, red fire, and yellow earth in order, and finally turned into the simplest black and white. In Ji Yuan's eyes, the yellow paper had been completely covered with white, and the black formed a big word in the center.
"Imperial Command..."
After reading this word subconsciously, Ji Yuan felt a chill in his heart.
Boom... Suddenly, there was a faint divine light flashing, and the whole piece of yellow paper was charred in many places at this moment. All the originally awkward words disappeared, leaving only the original text of "Zhengde Baogonglu".
"Well… "
Ji Yuan felt very embarrassed at the moment, and felt like he was about to sweat on his back. Did he damage the yellow paper book
The God of Land on the side was also staring in amazement at the yellow paper book that he had been treasured for a long time. However, before he could get angry or have any other reaction, he suddenly saw words appear on the yellow paper, and felt a coherent aura throughout the whole paper. He knew at a glance that the content was intact and not damaged.
"The Records of Zhengde Baogong! I can see it too! I can see it too! Thank you so much for breaking the law, thank you so much for breaking the law~~!"
The God of Land bowed and saluted repeatedly, and his already hunched body rose and fell exaggeratedly. Ji Yuan was only awkwardly stunned for a few moments, but he had to bow and salutation countless times by the God of Land, which showed how excited the God of Land was and the frequency of his movements.
Ji Yuan reacted quickly and reached out to support the other person, and returned the yellow paper book while talking.
"Please don't bow to me, God of Land. It's your fate that you can see this. It's just that I have left some burn marks on the yellow paper today."
"It's okay, it's okay. Sir, you have great magical power. You have broken the prohibition without damaging the basic style. I am very grateful!"
The God of Land excitedly took the yellow paper back with both hands and kept scanning the contents.
Ji Yuan naturally knew that the burnt part had no effect on the main text, and it seemed to have affected some kind of energy, allowing the God of Land to easily see the heavenly book. He must have a connection with this yellow paper book.
"But... I'm afraid that what happened just now is not just a restriction on this yellow paper book!"
Thinking of this, Ji Yuan's heart moved again. After a little contemplation, he found that amazing changes were taking place in his artistic conception. At the same time, a mysterious sense of heaven's heart arose, which made him obtain something extraordinary.
The God of Land has already read several hundred words, and just these few hundred words have made him realize the extraordinary content of this article. As a ghost after death, he relied on the villagers' offerings for many years to achieve his achievements. He could not practice and improve himself like those mountain and water gods in the beautiful places. Zhaojiazhuang was so small that the incense from the villagers' sacrifices could barely maintain his status as a god, and his achievements in practice had long been limited.
But this "Records of Zhengde Baogong" actually gave him a glimpse of the change from cultivating spirits as ghosts to cultivating spirits in mountains and rivers. It was a real qualitative change, allowing his small piece of land to see the opportunity to pursue the great way.
Even though the God of Land had never seen the world, he knew that it was really extraordinary. He also understood how lucky he was to have met a truly great master who was willing to help. It would be hard to say what would have happened if it had been someone from some other immortal palace.
"Lord of the Land, I would like to ask you, where did you get this book from?"
Hearing the sudden question from the master who had been in a daze just now, the God of Land suppressed the urge to learn, put away the yellow paper book, and then solemnly answered Ji Yuan's question.
"In reply to your question, sir, to be honest, I found this item when I was digging in the fields. At that time, I saw that it was not covered with much dirt, and paper was precious, so I took it home. Later, perhaps I forgot where I put it, and I didn't care about it when I couldn't find it. It was not until many years later when I died and turned into land that this yellow paper book appeared in the underground temple again. Only then did I realize that this item was extraordinary."
"It seems like this is really meant for you. Actually, the restriction just now is quite interesting. If the God of Land could break it himself, it would be of great significance. Now it's a bargain for me..."
Ji Yuan was not in a position to say it explicitly, but he still mentioned it vaguely.
"I am content, I am already content. Without your help, I will still be staring at this yellow paper and thinking hard for many more years!"
The God of Land naturally thought that Ji Yuan was just being humble. Even if there were any benefits, to such a master it was just a word "interesting", and the main part was still the magic formula on paper.
Ji Yuan stopped talking. What the God of Land got was already extraordinary for a ghost cultivator. If there was one more bit of fate, even the land would not be able to bear it!
He couldn't explain why, but Ji Yuan had this feeling. Thinking of this, Ji Yuan solemnly warned the land.
"Lord of the Land, the origin of this book is extraordinary. In the future, ordinary people should not show it to others easily. After obtaining this method, no matter how successful you are in the future, you must not forget your original intention as a landowner. I don't want you and I to bear some avoidable consequences in the future because of Ji's actions today."
When the God of Land heard Ji Yuan's tone, he knew the seriousness of the situation and even felt a lot of pressure. Although the gentleman did not say it explicitly, he left a blank message of "I will help you today, but if you dare to act in violation of the law, I will do it myself..."
"Zhao De, the landowner of Zhaojiazhuang, follows the master's teachings."
The land god who did not dare to be negligent bowed solemnly again, but this time his movements were too slow and he could not lift his bow for a long time. Ji Yuan had no choice but to bow in return.
A new Xuzi only flashed by after the two sides bowed to each other, but did not appear when the yellow paper book was returned, which made Ji Yuan fall into deep thought.
