A young man suffering from mental illness silently meditated cross-legged in the ward and carved ancient cultivation methods on the wall!
Li Yunshan didn't know how this young man named Wu Hou obtained the cultivation method on the gold jade and bamboo slips, but he was sure that he had read it correctly!
Old man Li Yunshan had been studying this relic for so long that he knew almost all the words on the gold and jade bamboo slips by heart!
With just these few words, he could be sure that this was definitely the cultivation method left by the First Emperor!
But what's going on?
You know, "The Ancient Secrets of Three Pills" is a book pieced together from hundreds of schools of thought!
It's okay to pick out a single sentence or a single paragraph, but it's impossible to understand it when you look at it as a whole!
Let alone a cultivation method, even calling it a book is a bit inappropriate!
But now, what's going on?
This young man is actually practicing?
How could it be useful?
But no matter how unwilling the old man Li Yunshan is to admit it, what happened to young Wu Hou is still unexplainable!
Whether it's fighting one against many or escaping from a mental hospital, it's completely beyond common sense!
Especially when old man Li Yunshan looked at the surveillance video and saw Wu Hou bending the iron pillars with his hands when escaping from the entrance of the mental hospital, his pupils shrank even more!
You know, each of the iron pillars on these gates is as thick as a child's arm. Although it is not completely solid, it would take at least the world's top strongman to twist it!
How could a young man have such terrifying strength?
And for a young man, this cannot be explained by science at all!
Moreover, there were still several months between Wu Hou's escape from the mental hospital and his arrival in Nancheng.
Where has he been during these few months?
How could a boy who was less than fifteen years old and suffering from mental illness survive on such a vast land with no money and only the clothes on his back when he left?
He even came to Nancheng, which is so far away!
Old Man Li Yunshan was breathing rapidly, his pupils were constricted, and he was thinking carefully. The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and his whole body seemed to be trembling!
From the mouth of old man Cheng Yuanmo, I learned that the time when young Wu Hou appeared abnormal was not long after he visited the underground river channel of Qilian Mountain!
Moreover, when the two of them were on the phone, this young man had appeared and shouted, 'This practice works!'
Neither Li Yunshan nor Cheng Yuanmo cared about it at first!
But now it seems that this mentally ill boy may be telling the truth? !
As soon as this idea came up, even old man Li Yunshan felt a little dry!
Three ancient elixirs!
Could it be that the Three Pills Ancient Art really gave young Wu Hou a power beyond mortals?
But he has also watched the Three Pills Ancient Jue, maybe even a lot more than this mentally ill boy!
Why didn't he react?
Is this the so-called talent? !
Looking at the young man sitting cross-legged on the ground in the surveillance camera, exuding a sharp aura, old man Li Yunshan just felt incredible!
It is definitely the Three Pills Ancient Technique!
At this moment, old man Li Yunshan was convinced, because other than that, he couldn't think of any other explanation!
Old Man Li Yunshan frowned and analyzed all this with his head lowered. The light in his eyes flickered on and off.
In the next few days, old man Li Yunshan declined all meetings, took a piece of paper, found an office, and carefully listed the findings of these days one by one.
From the Ding Qin sword, to the elixir cauldron, to the Qilian Mountain Human Emperor Sutra, the Huashan Massacre Valley, and the Nancheng Fog Statue
All kinds of extraordinary things were listed by the old man Li Yunshan.
Some things that I had not noticed in the past gradually began to surface.
Just like the elixir in the second ruins, after it was placed in the warehouse of the Ancient Xianyang Museum, the number of animals there strangely increased countless times. Every time they entered the warehouse, these animals would crazily want to get in. , as if they want to snatch something, and it has not decreased even so far.
Before that, they were just confused and didn't take it too seriously.
Looking back now, if there really is something extraordinary in the world and everything recorded by the First Emperor is true, then is this black and shriveled gray ball really the legendary elixir?
Have these animals been affected by the elixir?
Moreover, when they returned from the mountains and forests, they were attacked by animals. Even when they were inspecting the Qilian Mountains, they were stolen. The person who took the elixir seemed to be a weasel from the monitoring point of view.
Is this a coincidence?
Not long after taking the elixir, mutated weasel fur appeared in the Qilian Mountains
Looking at the abnormalities one after another, old man Li Yunshan's breathing gradually became faster!
In fact, although the few elixirs left by Ying Zheng are elixirs and are left to future generations, they are not useful to everyone or animals who eat them.
After all, countless years have passed, and the efficacy of the medicine has been reduced many times. Even if it is taken, it may not be effective.
For things like weasels, eating them is useful, and that's because of some mysterious reason.
The weasel followed all the way from the mountains and forests. So many clouded leopards, bears and wolves had fled away, but it was the only one that did not escape Ying Zheng's eternal gaze and followed the archaeological team all the way.
In the dark, it has already been decided.
But old man Li Yunshan didn't know about all this. He was breathing rapidly, and the more he thought about it, the weirder he felt.
Although decades of materialistic scientific views told him that there could be no supernatural beings, gods, or demons in the world, these were just human fantasies and thoughts.
But now, looking at the abnormalities one after another, old man Li Yunshan really can't remain firm!
He was breathing rapidly, frowning, and clenching his fists!
"Perhaps there really are extraordinary existences in this world!!"
"Everything recorded in the remains of the First Emperor may be true!"
At this moment, the materialistic realistic worldview that has influenced old man Li Yunshan his whole life began to waver!
A vast ancient world view of cultivation was vaguely constructed in his mind!
After accepting that there might be extraordinary beings in the world, old man Li Yunshan's expression became somewhat relaxed!
But what makes Li Yunshan still a little unsure about all this is that everything is his inference, although many things related to the remains of the First Emperor show some extraordinary trends.
But among these trends, there is no truly conclusive evidence!
He has never seen any truly extraordinary manifestations, nor has he seen any evidence of the existence of true gods!
Although whether it was the young Wu Hou or the weasel, or the hallucination he saw due to the underwater statue this time, it was not conclusive evidence after all!
These are not enough to become the most critical evidence! !
He must find a certain point to determine whether this world is truly extraordinary!
He had a hunch that this young man Wu Hou and the weasel might be the key to all this!
But what makes old man Li Yunshan helpless is that both the young Wu Hou and the weasel are too slippery.
It's as if they can become invisible. The surveillance cameras in many cities have no effect at all. Even if a large police force is deployed, no one can find them.
There is simply no way to find it.
"If these two anomalies cannot be found, then there are still things left to prove it." At this moment, old man Lu Changling came over.
After the old man Li Yunshan thought everything over, he told the old man Lu Changling all his doubts.
Little did he know that the latter actually had the same idea as him. Even when he went to find him, the latter was listing what was wrong these days!
After listening to old man Li Yunshan's thoughts, he gradually began to feel that there might really be extraordinary beings in the world!
"If there really is something extraordinary in the world, and if the records of the First Emperor's remains are correct, then is this formation really useful?"
"Under this lake, the First Emperor once left behind a huge formation."
"Whether it is true or false, can't we know it once we try it?"
Old man Lu Changling has bright eyes.
When he heard this, old man Li Yunshan's breathing suddenly became a little faster!
yes!
If everything recorded in the relics of the First Emperor is correct, then this formation can logically be activated!
Thinking of this, the two people immediately took action, called people, and went to the lake near Mount Emei again to try to activate the formation!
After Li Yunshan, Lu Changling and others returned to the vicinity of Shentan, many archaeological experts had already heard the news.
Many of them are even close friends of Li Yunshan and Lu Changling.
However, when they heard what Li Yunshan and Lu Changling said, they were stunned for a moment.
"Try to activate the formation under this deep pool? Maybe what the First Emperor recorded is true? Are there really practitioners and Qi masters in the world? Old Li, are you too tired recently?"
"What about Qi Practitioners, cultivators, and formations? This is just an ancient relic. How could there really be Qi Cultivators in the world? Everything on that stone tablet is just the exaggerated words and delusions of the ancients."
"Then how do you explain everything in the mass graves? The DNA is abnormal, how do you explain that a teenager can beat dozens of people to fractures? When we were digging the Qilian Mountains, a lot of strange things happened, and many of you have experienced it too Right? How do you explain the green valleys of trees in Hua Valley in winter and the weasel skins in mass graves?"
Old man Li Yunshan answered without raising his head. He took the latest picture of the underground statue altar formation to study the rules here, and transcribed all the six cultivation methods including the "Human Emperor Sutra" previously excavated in the Qilian Mountains, and prepared to try it in the Qilian Mountains. Try out the key nodes of these formations.
Since it is possible for a mentally ill teenager to use these things to practice, there is no reason why they would not use them if they started talking about them.
Even if their talents are not good, there should be some connection between the two relics of the First Emperor, right? If there really are extraordinary beings in the world.
After hearing what Old Man Li Yunshan said, many archaeological experts were obviously hesitant.
They have indeed experienced all of this personally, and it is indeed difficult to explain.
But compared to these, the fact that there are cultivators in the world is even more incomprehensible to them.
"All this is just a coincidence. There will be an explanation for everything. It's just that we haven't studied it yet." Some archaeologists frowned and said: "How can there be practitioners in the world? As archaeologists, how can you Can you believe this?"
After living in this world for decades, one day, someone suddenly told him that this world was unusual and that there were gods. No one would believe it so easily.
However, Li Yunshan and old man Lu Changling didn't expect them to believe it so quickly.
After all, how could the materialism accumulated over decades be defeated so easily?
Especially if you are an archaeologist, who would dare to dig a cemetery if you really believe in some monsters?
In fact, even now, they are still a little confused.
"Yes, it's probably just a coincidence. The DNA is a bit difficult to understand, but it doesn't involve cultivating immortals, right? I personally think it's more likely to be caused by mutation or disease."
"What happened in the Qilian Mountains should be due to the influence of the magnetic field. As for the four seasons of spring in Huashan Mountain, it is because of the warm currents underground."
"The heavy fog and heavy rain in Nancheng are somewhat difficult to explain, but aren't we studying it? After all, it is just a natural weather phenomenon."
"Yes, there are still many coincidences in this world."
Hearing the frowning words of many friends, Li Yunshan and Lu Changling tried their best to explain to many friends, but no matter how he explained, they didn't believe it at all.
Because everything Li Yunshan said was just speculation after all, and all his theories had no actual evidence.
Although there are many weird and weird things, it is still incredible that there are cultivators, Qi masters, gods and the like in the world.
Faced with all this, Li Yunshan and the two were helpless. Fortunately, not everyone did not believe it. There were still a few people who supported them and chose to believe it all.
In the next period of time, old man Li Yunshan and others began to study how to activate the formation here.
Although many relics related to the First Emperor have been excavated, as well as many things such as altars, this is the first time I have seen the formation.
Fortunately, after experiencing so many ruins excavations, they can already have a little 'feeling'.
Although they still couldn't understand the function of the formation of the underwater altar, they finally determined a few points and began to try various means to activate the formation.
However, what makes old man Li Yunshan and others a little helpless is that they have tried various methods here, but they have not been of much use at all!
Whether it was chanting sutras and chanting Buddha's name, kneeling down and kowtowing, or repeating the previous sacrificial rituals in Nancheng, there was no response from this altar.
Even the "Human Emperor Sutra" and other six cultivation methods excavated from the foot of Qilian Mountain were recited, but they were of no use!
"Mountains have no permanent shape, water has no permanent shape, time is long, and people are eternal."
In order to activate the formation, even Li Yunshan and Lu Changling, two old men in their sixties, tremblingly put on diving suits and went underwater to try to study and recite the Human Emperor Sutra.
But even so, it still has no effect at all!
In the end, they even wished they could go back to the Ancient Xianyang Museum and bring the Ding Qin Sword and the Golden Silk, Jade and Bamboo Slips!
But this is unrealistic. Although these two cultural relics were discovered by them, they cannot use them at will.
Seeing this scene, many archaeologists suddenly started laughing.
"Hahaha! Lao Li, Lao Lu, I said you two should stop messing around here. Where are the practitioners and formations?"
"This is a relic left by the First Emperor. Although it can be called a cultural treasure, it doesn't have anything to do with Qi Refiners and the like, right?"
"That's right, I think you two are tired these days. Go and rest for a while. We can just study this ruins, but I guess it will be difficult to salvage it."
"What a Qi Refiner, this thing doesn't exist. I admit that the First Emperor was the only emperor through the ages, but these things he carved are really outrageous."
After hearing the smiling words of persuasion from many friends, old man Li Yunshan felt a little helpless!
It shouldn’t be!
If there really are Qi Practitioners in this world, the research they just conducted should logically work!
Could it be that there are no cultivators and immortal Buddhas in this world?
No, it should exist, it’s just that we didn’t find the right way.
The original ideas of Li Yunshan, Lu Changling and others gradually began to waver, but they still did not give up after all.
Now there is no proof here, so only the diamond-shaped scales are left.
"Let's go."
Looking at the silent pool, old man Li Yunshan left helplessly.
However, just when Old Man Li Yunshan and the others left in despair, before they had gone far, under the deep pool, where they had originally stood to recite the Ancient Human Emperor Sutra, suddenly several lines buried under the water plants slowly shone. stand up.
These lines became more and more shiny, flickering on and off, and lasted for about ten minutes.
During this time, the many fish in the surrounding lakes and the surrounding snakes seemed to have noticed something, and they prostrated respectfully on the ground, motionless.
Even on Mount Emei not far from Hubo, countless animals noticed this fluctuation and screamed and fled, as if they had sensed something incredible, running for their lives in embarrassment.
The monkeys in Mount Emei, who used to be arrogant in the past, were now trembling on their knees, kowtowing respectfully towards the distant lake.
And just when all the tourists in Mount Emei were shocked, wondering why these monkeys suddenly went crazy, all the spirits were kowtowing.
Under the deep altar in Hu Bo, two streams of light suddenly shone from the faceless and majestic statues of gods and demons.
At this moment, it seemed as if the brilliance of all the worlds appeared in these two points of light. Wherever there seemed to be the opening of heaven and earth, and the birth and death of all spirits.
The ancient formation was slowly activated due to the appearance of the Human Emperor Sutra.
Then an invisible torrent of spiritual energy from heaven and earth gradually spread out, filling a large area of heaven and earth.
Not many people realized what happened in the deep pool statue near Mount Emei in the distance. The two brilliant light spots only appeared for less than a breath and then dissipated. Except for a few interested people, there was no one at all. Can be detected.
At this time, old man Li Yunshan and others had no idea that all of this was happening.
They are on their way to Yanjing, because there is a golden scale waiting for them to study.
However, on the way, old man Li Yunshan and others did not go to Yanjing immediately, but first went to the Ancient Xianyang Museum to collect all the cultural relics related to the First Emperor, such as elixirs, gold silk jade bamboo slips, Ding Qin sword, etc. All are kept in the deepest part of the museum.
Then they arrived at Yanjing.
Not long after they arrived in Yanjing, the scale test report under the deep pool came out.
The scientist in charge of the test was also an old man and a leader in academia. He reported all this to Li Yunshan with an excited look on his face.
"Lao Li! Lao Lu! You two are really gods!"
"Not long ago, I learned from Lao Nie that you had unearthed an ancient skeleton with a different DNA variant. But I didn't get very excited for long before you gave me another surprise!"
"Where did you get these scales? Is archeology really so popular?!"
Looking at the excited old man, Li Yunshan and Lu Changling were also a little nervous: "How about it, what have you discovered? What kind of creature are these scales?"
Hearing this, the old man shook his head, but he was still excited.
"That's not true!"
"The scales are very hard. In order to cut them open, we spent a lot of effort and used many diamond blades. In the end, we borrowed the most precise laser instrument to cut it open!"
"Judging from the structure of the scales, this seems to be an unknown amphibious creature!"
"We have never found the DNA of this kind of creature in any known biological species on Earth!"
"Its hardness is unprecedented and its quality is appalling, but those are not the most terrifying things!"
The old man spoke excitedly.
"From these scales, we found a lot of clues and information, the most important of which represents the message of time!"
"Judging from this piece of information, the existence of this scale is very likely to have been preserved from the era tens of thousands of years ago!"
"This may be a creature from ancient times!"
"It's simply unimaginable that he is still so completely preserved and has never been petrified!"
The old scientist was talking excitedly, his expression was extremely excited, and he was completely unaware that he was cutting through the scales of some terrifying species.
In fact, the scales of the Dragon King of the East China Sea are not so easy to be cut. The reason why they can be cut by current technological means is because the spiritual energy is exhausted for too long.
In addition to the reasons for the obliteration of the formation and the destruction of the Heavenly Punishment, the inside has been almost completely shattered, with all kinds of morality and spirituality gone, and even the original quality of the Dragon Clan has been removed by 99%.
This resulted in being chopped into pieces by the laser. Otherwise, how could human beings cut a dragon scale using only human technological means?
But after hearing the excited words of the old scientist, Old Man Li Yunshan and others frowned!
Isn't this a little different from what they imagined?
Can these scales be cut open? !
In the next period of time, they began to study the scale with the old scientist, and at the same time called old man Nie Weiguo to study the DNA information in it.
But the more they studied, the deeper their frowns became.
The doubts in his heart became more and more shaken.
And in the distant modern times, a group of old scientists were studying Ao Guang's scales carefully, wondering how to define whether there were cultivators in the world.
Thousands of years ago, there was also a huge wave that gradually began.
And the very beginning of all this.
It appears on the highest heaven in the three realms
