Chapter 1248 Filling the Gap

Akhtawa untied the straps on his body, solemnly took out something wrapped inside, and held it out carefully.

Chen Chuan took a look at it. It was a scroll of green and yellow bamboo slips tied with red silk thread. The style looked vaguely familiar to him. It seemed... to be a Xuanjiao scripture?
Seeing the other party handing it over, he also reached out to take it, and when he opened it, he saw that the bamboo slips were covered with dense golden and red inscriptions.

His heart moved, "Golden Scripture?"

This ink is made from the fighter's own blood, cinnabar and other materials. The red part is actually cinnabar, and the gold part is blood.

The golden blood is exactly the phenomenon that only some fighters in Dongxuan Temple will show, especially those who practice the old religion and have profound merits.

He asked about the origin of this thing, and Akhtawa replied that it was given to him by the priest who presided over the blood-drinking ceremony for him. He said that it was left by a mysterious person from the East Continent in the past. It seemed to be very old and had been passed down in the hands of this priest for more than thirty generations.

Chen Chuan nodded slightly. This should have been left behind by the Taoist priest who came to Yinglu in the past.

In ancient times, Yinglu had some exchanges with the outside world, but most people in Donglu looked down on Yinglu.

The main reason is that local fighters are often placed under the rule of the dynasty. In their area, there are large tracts of developed integrated land, so it is relatively easy to obtain resources, and there are still many that have not been digested. Even if they want to expand the territory, there are plenty of them around, and it is also convenient to establish rule. There is no need to travel across the ocean to other places.

But while there are no state actions, individual and religious actions are not uncommon.

In the early days when Xuanism and Chan were fighting, Xuanism was at a disadvantage for a period of time. At that time, some people did run away, and some of them might have come to Yinglu.

His gaze lingered on it for a while. Although he couldn't quite understand the inscription, judging from the shape of the characters and the strokes, it was indeed something from an early period.

If my guess is correct, it was exactly the period when Xuanjiao was declining, about 1,400 to 1,500 years ago. At that time, there were Zen temples everywhere in the east and south of the country. It was inevitable that Xuanjiao would make plans to branch out and find another way to pass on its heritage, which was similar to the later migration of Zen Buddhism to the East.

This thing is not something that anyone can write. One must be a high-level Taoist priest. In addition to the rituals of the religion, it also depends on one's own practice. In addition, only a high-level priest has enough secret scriptures of the Taoist religion.

He used his mental senses to sense it a little and was able to confirm that as long as he put this thing aside during his practice, the scripture would bless himself and resist alienation and erosion. It could be said to be a very good thing.

However, for those who have not practiced the Xuanjiao method, it may be of no use and can only be regarded as a book.

Akhtawa probably only had a vague idea about this, but he just knew that this thing was a good one, so he gave it to him.

In addition, if you shake it slightly with your hand, you can see faint golden shadows floating on it. It looks a bit like the talisman used to bind old sins. If used well, he can use it to protect himself, but this is just using it as a consumable item, and it may not be magical in the end.

He doesn't care because this thing is written to be used by people, so he will use it when it is necessary, without any regrets.

After reading it, he put the scroll down and said, “Mr. Akhtar, your gift is indeed good and I am also interested in it, so I accept it.

If you have any problems in the future, you can come to me and I will help you to the best of my ability."

He knew that in addition to expressing his gratitude, Akhtawa also wanted to establish a certain friendship and communication with him personally.

Akhtawa did have this intention, but he valued not only Chen Chuan's present, but also his future. He had heard of Chen Chuan's reputation. Such a powerful fighter, who was still so young, would definitely be a high-ranking figure in Dashun in the future. It would be right to make friends with him in advance.

Akhtar said: "I have something I hope Mr. Chen can support me with."

Chen Chuan said: "What's the matter?"

Akhtawa said seriously: “I ordered a batch of puppet guards from Yuanren Company. These guards have a relatively important role.

It’s just that they may not be trusted by the upper echelons of Kavatua, so it’s a little difficult for them to accept it.”

Although Chen Chuan has disputes with the original company, he does not reject the use of the original company's products. If you can use good things, of course I can use them too.

And strictly speaking, the Yuanren Company is not on the side of the Federation. If Kavatua conflicts with the Federation and Dashun is unable to provide support in time, then the Yuanren Company is the only company that can circumvent the law and provide weapons.

He understood Akhtawa's concerns. Kavatua had just been reformed and was very sensitive to the Federation's things. Using the original company's things might send a signal to others or inspire some people's unrealistic fantasies.
Things are good, but the timing must be right, unless they are urgently needed right now.

So he asked, "Mr. Akhtawa attaches so much importance to these puppets, is it because these puppets have any special functions?"

Ahtawa said solemnly: "Mr. Chen, this is the case. These puppets are not used to supplement the armed forces of Kavatua, but have another very important purpose."

"Kavatua has potential, but I know that the resources of the Holy Land have not been developed. These puppets are precisely for us to obtain the resources of the Blending Land. Only when these resources are developed and utilized can Kavatua truly gain self-rebirth." Chen Chuan looked at him, "Do you know what is going on inside the Holy Land?"

Akhtawa did not hide it: "I know a little."

He said in a deep voice: "It was the old priest who performed the ceremony for me who said that. He used to be the priest of the Great Temple of Hatikhan. He told me about the Holy Land. There are actually seven Holy Gates in the Holy Land. These seven gates are distributed on the Plateau of Life. Only when they are opened at the same time and guarded by people can the Holy Tree gradually approach us and the power of the Holy Land can be used by us.

In the past, each dynasty would send divine guards or even demigods to this ancestral land. They would swear an oath to guard the gate until they themselves finally returned to the sacred tree. The resources obtained from it were not only used to train holy land warriors, but also used to exchange with various dynasties for the construction and improvement of temples.

However, as time went by and various dynasties were established, they were no longer willing to send divine guards and demigods to the temple, so the seven gates were gradually closed. The priests of Kavatua therefore no longer mentioned related matters to the outside world.

Before the old priest passed away, he told me this secret, saying that if the opportunity came, I should open the Seven Holy Gates. If I couldn't find the opportunity, or the Holy Land was occupied by the Federation, I should keep this secret hidden until the end of the world."

Chen Chuan thought for a moment and asked, "Is the old priest the priest of the original Hatikhan Temple?"

Akhtar nods.

Chen Chuan nodded. He knew that there had been resident priests in Kavatua since ancient times. They were a group of practitioners who were the real clergy here.

Until the collapse of the dynasties, the remaining Quetzatecs took advantage of their close proximity to the temple to hide here. The Quetzatec priests merged with some of the original temple priests to form the current Cavatua.

But some high-ranking priests have left. They may be the ones who know the secrets of the holy land. It may be for this reason that the holy tree cannot be touched.

He said, "Mr. Akhtar, you are planning to use puppets to replace the original divine guards, is that right?"

"Yes."

Akhtar had no intention of hiding anything.

“That is the most ideal situation. If there are no divine guards, we can actually use humans to replace them. However, ordinary people cannot withstand the invasion from the other side of the world, so we must use fighters. Such invasion is almost irreversible and will consume batches of people.

We are a small group of fighters, and we cannot afford such a loss, so it is best to use the original security puppets, because these puppets are developed for the convenience of action in the fusion area, they are very strong in resisting invasion, and they are not afraid of death, and their obedience is very high. In this way, with a small number of fighters, we can hold the gate."

Chen Chuanshuo said: "Have you mentioned this to the high priest?"

"I spoke to her and also spoke to the advisors to the great chief, but they were not sure what the Dashun side meant," Akhtawa said.

After a pause, he continued, "When I came out, the high priest told me that Kavatua was willing to share the benefits with his allies."

Chen Chuan understood that this was a hint that after the holy land was developed, a portion of its resources would be set aside in exchange for Dashun's support.

This is very good, which shows that Kavatua has moved away from the previous pattern of obtaining support unilaterally.

So he said: "I personally support this." He said: "Mr. Akhtawa, I will give you a reply after discussing with the members of the visiting delegation. We are happy to see that Kavatua has the ability to generate blood on its own."

When Akhtava heard him say this, he knew that the matter was a sure thing. He was very fortunate to have met a fighter who was both powerful and open-minded. Such people are usually rare because fighters are usually paranoid, and because of their paranoia, they are powerful.

But he could sense that Chen Chuan's situation might be the opposite. Because he was strong, he did not need to be paranoid.

The matter was settled, he didn't bother any more and stood up to leave.

After he left, Chen Chuan nodded. In addition to his strength, Akhtawa was also smart and not pedantic. There was no doubt that he had the support of Dashun.

With this person here, Kavatua's security can be temporarily assured. It is not easy to mobilize multiple fighters at the Changshengguan level. There will always be information leaking out, so they can also prepare in advance.

However, the seven holy gates mentioned by Akhtava just now suddenly reminded him of the seven desires of the primitive sect. He wondered if the two were related?

Due to lack of information, he did not think too deeply about it. Since there were already people stationed here, he decided not to delay any longer and prepared to set off.
