Zhao Deyan's voice was very soft, but it was enough for Song Xing to hear what he wanted to say.
"Starve to death?" Song Xing glanced at him in surprise, "Are you kidding?"
Zhao Deyan shook his head, with a serious look in his eyes, "I never joke with people who are better than me."
Looking back at the people watching Lao Jun not far away, Song Xing took a few steps forward and came to a protruding rock. He sat on it casually with a leisurely attitude, as if the entire cliff was his throne.
Zhao Deyan didn't say anything, and then came to stand by the rock.
Song Xing looked down at him from a high position: "Tell me, what's going on?"
Faced with Song Xing's condescending attitude, Zhao Deyan showed no dissatisfaction. Instead, he respectfully replied: "I wonder if the viewer has ever heard of "Random Thoughts on the Demonic Path" written by Xie Bo, the first evil emperor of the Evil Ji Sect?"
Song Xing nodded: "I have heard about it, but this book has been leaked from the Xieji Sect since Xie Bo's death. It has passed through many hands and has almost disappeared. Very few people have seen this book."
Zhao Deyan said: "The Capriccio of the Magic Way is in the Moxiang Sect at the moment. When my ancestor was young, he went on a mission to the Turks and accidentally obtained this strange book of the Holy Sect in the hands of a Turkic noble."
Song Xing frowned: "Why are the techniques from the Holy Sect wandering on the grassland?"
Zhao Deyan explained: "The Capriccio of the Demonic Way records the practice experience and hand-over notes. It mainly records the experience of practicing the Dao Heart Demon Technique and Xie Bo's strange insights about ancient martial arts from the ancient tombs of the Shang and Zhou Dynasties. It’s like a tomb robbing notebook.”
"Although it records many theoretical conjectures about superb martial arts, experiences of tomb robbing, and some residual mental techniques from the Shang and Zhou dynasties, most of them are incomplete. At first glance, they look more like some kind of weird writing, so they don't attract much attention. Turks He often raids the border, so he may have accidentally obtained this book from a caravan."
Song Xing asked casually but didn't take it seriously: "What did Xie Bo record that made you talk alarmist here?"
Zhao Deyan was slightly stunned. As the third person in the Demon Sect, no one had dared to speak to him in this tone for a long time. However, he still tried to get used to this kind of treatment. He looked at Song Xing and said:
"There is a passage in the Random Notes on the Devil's Way that records some of Xie Bo's speculations about the origin of the Evil Emperor's relics."
"Evil Emperor's relics?" Hearing this, Song Xing became somewhat interested. "Xie Bo dug it out from an ancient tomb during the Warring States Period. Is there anything special about it?"
The Evil Emperor's relics were originally a funerary object found by Xie Bo in an ancient tomb belonging to the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods while searching for a set of silk books on medicine.
This tomb is located in the ancient Qi Kingdom. The tomb is grand and magnificent, and the burial objects are extremely luxurious. However, there are hundreds of horses buried alive. It can be seen that the owner of the tomb was not a prince or general during his lifetime, but his position of power was also very high.
However, the Demon Sect only records the miraculous ability of the Evil Emperor's relics to store essence. There is not much record of the identity of the original owner of the Evil Emperor's relics.
Seeing Song Xing's interest, Zhao Deyan's eyes showed a bit of wonder, and said: "It's not only the evil emperor's relic that is special, but also its original owner. After Xie Bo noticed the strangeness of the relic, he went to investigate the owner of the tomb. I found out that this tomb turned out to be the tomb of Jiang Shang, the first king of ancient Qi."
When Song Xing heard this, he waved his hand to signal Zhao Deyan to stop: "Jiang Shang? Jiang Ziya, the man who promoted Zhou and destroyed Shang?"
Zhao Deyan nodded: "It's Jiang Ziya's tomb."
Song Xing stared at the flash of green emerging from the cracks in the rocks under his feet, with a flash of doubt in his eyes.
His understanding of Jiang Ziya is limited to historical records. He was humble for half his life, never met his master, and wandered uncertainly. However, he was able to be patient and patient, observe the situation, wait for the opportunity, and finally met the master of the Ming Dynasty. He assisted Zuo Jichang, cultivated virtue and strengthened martial arts. Qiuxing Zhou.
Jiang Ziya's life was full of ups and downs and mysterious. Looking at Jiang Ziya's achievements throughout his life, he made outstanding contributions in terms of military, political, economic and ideological aspects, especially military. Later generations talked about military affairs and Zhou Zhiyin's power. They are all based on the Taigong, who can be called the originator of military strategists and the source of military affairs.
After the rise of the Zhou Dynasty and the destruction of the Shang Dynasty, the Emperor of Zhou first granted Jiang Ziya the title of Yingqiu in Qi, established the ancient Qi State, and became the first monarch of the Qi State with a lifespan of 139 years.
You know, that was during the Shang and Zhou dynasties, when being able to live to the age of fifty was considered a long life. Jiang Ziya actually lived to be nearly 140 years old, which is an incredible thing in itself.
Song Xing waved his hand at Zhao Deyan and said, "Keep talking."
Zhao Deyan heard this and continued: "When Xie Bo discovered the ancient tomb, he did not know the identity of the tomb owner at first, but he saw that the strange stone behind his neck was different, and he also saw that Jiang Shang's body remained incorruptible after hundreds of years. It is so lifelike that I know in my heart that the identity of the tomb owner must be extraordinary."
"Subsequently, Jiang Shang's name was identified in the ancient text written on a stone tablet in the tomb, and we realized that this tomb turned out to be that of Jiang Ziya."
Song Xing pondered for a moment, then keenly grasped the key point and asked: "Is it the effect of the evil emperor's relics that has not decayed for hundreds of years or is it Jiang Ziya himself?"
"Xie Bo recorded that Jiang Shang had a longevity of 140 years, which was probably due to the effect of the evil emperor's relics. However, his physical body did not decay. It was Jiang Shang who practiced a unique skill that made his golden body indestructible. He estimated that Jiang Shang should have died before his death. It’s infinitely close to the Shattered Void.”
The amount of information provided by Zhao Deyan was a bit large, and it took Song Xing a few seconds to sort it out clearly, "Jiang Taigong, who assisted King Zuo Wen to prosper the Zhou Dynasty and destroy the Shang Dynasty, has a martial arts cultivation level of Shattering the Void?"
】
Zhao Deyan corrected him: "It was close to the Shattered Void, otherwise he would not have died, but would have directly ascended."
Song Xing suddenly felt something in his heart: "What you just said about starving to death in this world, did you mean Jiang Ziya?"
"Exactly," Zhao Deyan said: "After Xie Bo obtained the relics of the Evil Emperor, he was also curious about Jiang Ziya, a legendary figure from thousands of years ago, and also wanted to get the skills he practiced, so he dug three feet into the ground to find a place in his grave. Dig out more objects."
Song Xing was curious: "Is there anything gained?"
"No, apart from the Evil Emperor's relics, no techniques he practiced were found. I think they were left to future generations."
Zhao Deyan's eyes flashed a few times and he recalled: "In addition to his martial arts skills, Xie Bo is also unparalleled in his medical skills. After finding nothing, he turned his attention to Jiang Ziya's corpse and found that the corpse was stronger than diamond, better than all metals, and swords could not Injure him at all."
"According to ancient records, the indestructible Jiang Ziya has reached the rumored state of Shattering the Void, so Xie Bo is curious about why such a strong man did not Shatter the Void, but died in the world of mortals."
"After careful inspection, he found that although the body was stronger than a diamond, it was skinny and skinny. It looked like it was starved to death after being consumed too much and unable to be replenished."
Speaking of this, Zhao Deyan's eyes flashed with unspeakable horror. Shattered Void. In martial arts legends, he was almost like an immortal, far superior to a grand master, but he died in such a bizarre way. How could he not be frightened?
Song Xing was also in disbelief. He was stunned for a moment before hesitatingly said: "You mean, Jiang Shang broke through to the realm after the Grand Master, but failed to reach the Shattered Void. In the end, the energy in his body was not enough to support the physical consumption. , starved to death in the ancient Qi Kingdom?"
Zhao Deyan nodded, his tone a little erratic: "According to what Xie Bo recorded in the Magical Thoughts, there is a high probability that it is."
