The Heavens: A Qing, the Yue Girl at the beginning

After a brief arrangement, Zhao Qing and his party quickly walked towards the Jingyan Palace on a hill several miles away. They noticed that these three stone palaces were made of a kind of stone that looked like marble but had a golden essence. It was built with an unknown material like mother's steel, and the pillars of the main hall were covered with reliefs of ancient shapes.

Each of the palace doors is a giant iron door in a modern style. It is two feet high, four feet wide and about one foot thick. It weighs more than 30 kilograms and requires ten second-rate masters to lift it. Pushing it away, one can't help but feel shocked.

In the early Yuan Dynasty, Sihanfei, the younger brother of Kublai Khan, studied the relief patterns on the pillars of Jingyan Palace. He had been conquering the north and south for many years, read countless classics, and traveled all over the world. However, as for the things on the reliefs, But they know nothing about it, which shows that these strange birds and beasts live in ancient times.

However, after all, this is the Yuan Dynasty hundreds of years later. It has not yet experienced the Anshi Rebellion, Huangchao Uprising, and Jingkang Rebellion. The various ancient books preserved by the former Sui Dynasty total 37 volumes and [-] categories. Yang Guang ordered it to be hidden in the Jiaze Hall of Daxing and the Guanwen Hall of Luoyang. However, most of them were not destroyed by wars like in history. By the Tang Dynasty, only more than [-] volumes were left.

It has to be said that the Sui Dynasty did make a great contribution to culture. Yang Jian issued an edict to "dedicate a volume of books and reward a piece of silk" to request books, so that the books left by the people due to the division of the north and the south and the long-term war could be recollected by the government. , restored the cultural inheritance of the pre-Qin and Han dynasties;

During the Yangdi period, although Yang Guang was not very good as emperor, his personal literary and artistic level was still very good. He attached great importance to the collection of books and continued Yang Jian's policy. Systematically organized like the "Palace Catalog", in just a few decades, the number of books collected exceeded that of any previous dynasty.

This is also the reason why Shi Long, the "Supporter", saw Yu Wenhua and claimed that he wanted to dedicate the "Secret of Immortality" to Yang Guang. He suspected that Yang Guang might be able to decipher the content, so he resisted with all his strength and did not want to let the ignorant king prolong his life. location.

Since he had hardly fought with Luoyang during the occupation of Luoyang and the Daxing Dynasty, Zhao Qing inherited all 370009 volumes of the Sui Dynasty Secretary's Provincial Collection, and spent a considerable period of time browsing through the more than [-] volumes compiled in the "Sui Daye Zhengyu Shu Catalog" Volumes of ancient books, including many books that have been lost in later generations, such as the "Zou Shi Zhuan", "Jia Shi Zhuan" and other Spring and Autumn history books, the "Book of Zhou", the history book of the previous dynasty written by the historian of Qin State, and "The Spring and Autumn Annals of Chu and Han Dynasties" written by Lu Jia ", Xiang Yu's military book "King Xiang", etc., made her deeply feel the depth of Chinese culture.

In fact, in the process of reading a large number of ancient books, Zhao Qing also came up with the idea of ​​organizing them like Ban Gu, and planned to collect more ancient books from newly conquered countries, and after sorting them out, he summoned a large number of scholars to refine the essence of their thoughts;

"Mixing hundreds of schools, taking in all schools, being inclusive, connecting and integrating", absorbing the thoughts of hundreds of schools of thought such as Confucianism, Taoism, Mohism, etc., integrating and innovating the thoughts of different schools, thereby forming one's own Taoist school , similar to the situation when Lu Buwei, the master of the Zajia family, asked three thousand disciples to co-author "Lu's Spring and Autumn".

Although Zhao Qing is considered a Taoist, she does not fully agree with some of the negative concepts in Lao and Zhuang's thoughts. On the contrary, she believes that Confucianism, Legalism, Buddhism, Mohism and other thoughts have advantages and values ​​that cannot be ignored, and can be Supplements many areas not covered by Taoist classics.

Therefore, Zhao Qing is committed to taking the essence and removing the dross from these different schools, integrating them into one, and incorporating the scientific thoughts and rigorous logic of previous lives, aiming to create a new school of thought based on Taoist thought. , thus being able to compete with, or even surpass, the pre-Qin scholars.

"Zuo Zhuan" says: "'The supreme leader has established virtues, the second has meritorious service, and the third has established words.' Even if it is not abolished for a long time, this is called immortality. If a husband preserves his surname and accepts his surname, in order to protect his ancestral lineage, he will continue to worship him from generation to generation. There is no country and no people, and those who have a great salary cannot be called immortal."

Now that he has achieved the first two "immortality" of virtue and meritorious service in this world, Zhao Qing naturally tried to write books and establish his words in the most perfect way. In addition to leaving a large number of martial arts classics, he also wanted to achieve a certain level of ideological achievement. His achievements have reached the level of "Three Immortals" passed down from generation to generation.

She previously integrated Taoism and Buddhism, turning Buddhist sects such as Cihang Jingzhai and Jingnian Chanyuan into "Taoist sects" and included them in the new "Tao Alliance". This was the preliminary preparation for spreading this new school of thought. Let the improved "New Taoism", or "New Miscellaneous School", become the mainstream thought of later generations;

At the same time, based on the "New Taoist" school's interpretation of heaven, earth, man, and Tao, it will play the role of guiding one's own practice like the Tao Te Ching, and will no longer change it due to subsequent integration and absorption of other advanced ideas and profound classics. core, in order to clear the way forward in the future.

Since each world cannot take away its physical resources, it is natural to collect other non-material things from another angle:

At first it was just martial arts secrets, then it was Buddhist and Taoist classics that were the source of martial arts concepts, and then it was extended to a broader school of thought. Finally, it was gradually collected and absorbed the wisdom of people all over the world from ancient times to the present, and integrated it into one. Priceless fortune.

……

Closer to home, Zhao Qing's knowledge has also been greatly improved because he has read all [-] to [-] volumes of Zhengyushu, as well as a larger number of picture albums and other miscellaneous books. Coupled with the modern understanding of his previous life, compared with just a mere A Si Han Fei is more than a hundred times better.

Therefore, she quickly identified some extremely rare ancient beasts on the reliefs of the palace pillars, such as water eagles, salmons, pentagons, etc., which were only recorded in fragments in some fragments of ancient pre-Qin books.

"Why are there several exotic beasts among them that seem to be long-extinct ancient creatures such as saber-toothed tigers, giant rhinoceros, and cave lions? There are even patterns that resemble Tyrannosaurus, pterosaurs, and plesiosaurs?"

"Did the Jingyan Palace have been established tens of millions of years ago, or have ancient creatures never been completely extinct because of the extra aura of heaven and earth, or has an expert obtained their information through some means?"

When Zhao Qing carefully observed the stone hall on the pillars, the clone controlled by her mind body god also figured out the corresponding mechanism and locked the entrance of the secret passage from the side hall to the underground.

I was going to use the combined attack of extreme cathode and yang energy to try to forcefully open a gap at the correct channel that continues over time. However, when the two magic weapons of "Chendan" and "Cambrian" were flying and circling, they were about to output the magnetic storm and crush them. When the strange stones that have been blessed by the great formation here are broken into pieces;

With the sound of rolling, nine three-foot-square entrances slowly appeared on the ground, neatly arranged in the center of the hall. Each entrance was about a foot away from each other. It was dark inside, as if leading to The bottomless pool of the netherworld.

From the simple shape of Jingyan Palace, he guessed that there were ancient secrets hidden inside. Fu Cailin, who was following Zhao Qing, couldn't help but feel a little moved in his heart. He showed off his world-famous Yi sword, which was four feet and five inches long. , two inches wide, glowing with green light, the handle and hand guard are covered with conch patterns, and the shape is elegant and clumsy.

About to enter such a mysterious ruins and learn more about the meaning of life, even with Fu Cailin's state of mind at the Grand Master level, there was a bit of joy on his face, and at the same time he was wary of the amazingly powerful mechanisms inside. Strange beasts, ready to defend at any time.

He condensed eight ice swords at random, and controlled them to fly into the eight incorrect entrances to explore the working methods of the mechanisms. Zhao Qing quickly jumped into the correct entrance and fell instantly. After tens of feet, it landed on a giant silver net that seemed to be woven from carbon fiber, and then came to the flat ground below.

Then she released a bright light group floating in the air, illuminating the surrounding environment. She saw the nine portals of the huge palace here, and once again formed eight ice swords and drilled into eight of them, and she headed towards the correct portal. go.After walking diagonally downward for about twenty or thirty miles, theoretically reaching a depth of thousands of feet from the surface of the earth, Zhao Qing absorbed and interpreted the details of the sixteen ice swords to explore the path, while coming to the red light flashing at the end of the secret passage. Outside the waterfall, we entered the area of ​​the underground lake where the Temple of War is located.

Feeling that she had also passed through a strange space film when passing through the waterfall, she thought thoughtfully and looked over the giant underground lake at the center of the lake five miles away from her. She saw a building completely covered by extremely huge buildings. On a lonely island, the stone palace on the island takes the shape of the upper half of a cube with a side length of more than 90 feet.

A simple estimate, including the huge platform that is more than 90 feet above the water, the entire War Temple uses at least 3000 million square meters of stone, and the total weight must have exceeded [-] million tons. Even in the previous life, it was undoubtedly the largest in history. Heavy single building.

Looking towards the waters around the Temple of War, I saw that the lake was bottomless and full of all kinds of life, such as glowing schools of strange fish. Thousands of them appeared in the red light of the lake. , or monsters that look like snakes but are not snakes, large spherical shapes with countless tentacles, giant turtles parading by, and all kinds of strange things.

In the gaps in the surrounding distance, the earth fire flickered out. Although this place was hidden deep underground, the air was fresh and sweet, and the vitality of heaven and earth was exceptionally abundant. The environment was very suitable for training.

The calm water surface of the underground lake is constantly churning up bubbles and waves, full of infinite vitality. Occasionally, strange fish and monsters leap out of the water, making strange sounds of splashing water. In the rumbling sound of the waterfall, there is a dynamic atmosphere. Rhythm.

These creatures are all among the strange birds and foreign objects carved in the Yanxiang Hall of Jingyan Palace, but not all of them are on the reliefs. After all, the diameter of this underground lake is only ten miles, which cannot allow many species to reproduce for a long time, and it continues to this day.

According to the results deduced by Zhao Qing's induction of heaven and earth, underground lakes with rich aura like this are equivalent to the "acupoints" on the planet Earth. They are connected to the "Dantian" where the core of the mantle is located through the "meridians" of the mantle plume, with a total of 360 Places, taken together, are the entire living area of ​​these ancient alien species.

Although she valued the God of War who had only visited the island once in a hurry, she did not fly directly across the lake to the other side. Instead, she condensed the water and turned it into an icy boat. The three of them were Board the boat and sail slowly toward the center of the lake.

Soon, surrounded by a group of strange fish, the head of a monster with a human head and a fish body surfaced ferociously from the water. Its head of green hair fluttered backwards in the water, and a pair of giant eyes flashed with green light. It looked horrifying.

"The Book of Mountains and Seas - Hai Nei Nan Jing says: 'The Di Ren Kingdom is in Jianmuxi, and it has a human face but a fish body, and no legs.' This monster actually has a human head. Could it be related to the Di Ren tribe?"

Seeing that this monster, which was more than ten feet long, contained power comparable to that of a top master, but its intelligence was only as intelligent as that of a savage. Zhao Qing's thoughts moved slightly, and he became interested in the origins of his tribe, and took the initiative to drive the ice ship towards Go in the direction of the mermaid.

Seeing the green flames igniting in his eyes to express his dominance over this small area of ​​water, the other party still did not stop invading the territory. The mermaid monster couldn't help but became furious, opened its bloody mouth, and brought a white stream along the way. The waterline rushed straight towards the ice boat.

In the blink of an eye, the water on the bow of the boat parted with a "swish". The monster couldn't wait and rushed away from the lake. Two claws like fish fins were waving in the air, as if they were ready to bite the enemy on the boat and start a battle. A brutal fight.

At the same time, Fu Cailin's Yijian also glowed with a green light. He has drawn moving lines that are beyond the beauty of the world, and have the truth of heaven and earth. The immortal starlight inside rushed towards the position between the mermaid's eyes like a shooting star.

Although the power of "Yi Sword Technique" cannot be fully exerted when encountering an unfamiliar enemy, and it takes a while to create a favorable situation, but holding a magical weapon against a monster without intelligence, even if he does not know its habits, he is still very confident. Killed it in a few moves.

Before the Yi sword's blade could penetrate directly into the mermaid's brain, a rainbow-like sword shadow suddenly lit up around the ice boat, forming a sphere ten feet in diameter, with dozens of semblance of substance inside. The human form flickered and swayed out a second, more intensive sword light.

In an instant, a dozen strange beasts, including this mermaid and two nearby little mermaids, were penetrated into their acupoints and meridians with sword threads. While sealing their ability to move, it also allowed Zhao Qing to explore clearly. Understand the structure of these monsters.

As if being grabbed by an invisible giant hand, the mermaid monster was pushed back on the deck of the ice boat without any resistance. The green hair and other unnecessary decorations disappeared in the blink of an eye, leaving only one of them lying on its back and exposed. The naked fish in the belly has lost its ferocious look.

Standing next to me, I marveled at the mysterious changes that Zhao Qing performed with his sword, and vaguely realized that if he wanted to further develop his "sword playing skills", he needed to break the original rules of the chess game, from playing one piece at a time to playing multiple pieces in a row. The chess pieces were even turned into "chessboards". Fu Cailin couldn't help but feel his heart tremble, and he showed an expression of eagerness to inquire.

However, when he took back his sword and didn't know which Zhao Qing to ask for advice, he caught a glimpse of the other person's face changing slightly, showing a solemn expression. They approached the monster with a human head and a fish body, and after a slight hesitation, Then he released it back into the lake.

"Except for the extra gills, the organs and tissues in the mermaid's body are almost the same as those of normal people. They are very different from ordinary fish, except that they are much larger and seem to be born with the ability to control the power of the green flame."

"Referring to the statement in the Classic of Mountains and Seas that the Di people are descendants of Emperor Yan, could it be that this kind of mermaid was originally transformed from a human being?"

This was a casual inspection, but Zhao Qing's heart was filled with doubts. He suspected that this type of mermaid might have a bizarre and tragic past. Then he sensed the magic dragon swimming nearby and the figure of the river on his back at the bottom of the thousand-step stone steps. Shigui, and the middle-aged man who was slowly walking out from the entrance of the Temple of War.

He was a stalwart man, with a body like an ancient rock that had been tempered by time, tough and stable. He wore plain cloth shoes and his eyes were as deep as the sea, as if containing an indescribable wisdom and insight. He could see clearly. See everything in the world.

"Pursuing the meaning of life and obtaining more powerful power, sometimes you have to pay the price of failure... right?" This person turned out to be the "Heavenly Demon" Cang Cui whom Zhao Qing had seen from behind once. The entrance was opened on the Shuofang battlefield, and I don’t know why.
