Chapter 2166 Thatched Cottage Stone Seal
Qin Sang picked out the jade slips first, one of which was a feng shui map drawn by Si Huang, marking the location of the cave.
After comparison, Qin Sang found that this place was not far from Chihu Lake.
However, after obtaining the Yanshan Pearl, the Siyou royal family gave up that place and have not been there for a long time. No one knows what changes have taken place in the meantime.
The other jade slip was obtained from the cave, but it did not record any secret techniques or skills. Otherwise, Si Huang might have been able to calculate which tribe the Shanshan Pearl came from, and it would not have been Qin Sang's turn.
Qin Sang separated a wisp of his spiritual consciousness and probed into the jade slip, concentrating on observing it carefully. After a while, he let out a light exclamation and his expression became more focused.
The contents of the jade slip are very confusing and disorganized. They are all fragmented and many of them are meaningless. It is like an essay written by a person on a whim, recording the thoughts that suddenly pop up in his mind.
The more Qin Sang read, the more interesting it became.
There are poems about love, flowers, snow and the moon, about the sadness of spring and autumn, and there are a few poems that do not pay any attention to parallelism.
There are many other contents that only record a scene that the owner of the jade slip suddenly glimpsed, without a beginning or an end.
For example, in a place that one has been with for a long time and is extremely familiar with, the mountains and water remain the same, only the weather, time and people have changed, and the scenery is similar to the past. But at a certain time, when the owner of the jade slip suddenly glimpses this scenery, he feels an inexplicable touch.
It was written in the jade slip that this kind of touch was fleeting, and the owner of the jade slip did not know the source of the touch. Sometimes he would stay in the same place, staring at that place for hundreds or even thousands of days and nights, but would never catch it again.
"The owner of the jade slip must be a very thoughtful person..."
Qin Sang thought to himself.
Most people, most of the time, forget this kind of touch in an instant, don't care about it, and may not even realize that this touch has occurred.
However, this touch may be the source of inspiration.
In ancient times, the sages observed the heaven and earth to comprehend the way of cultivation. Today, people still cannot comprehend the way of heaven, as if it is a book that can never be finished, and the practitioners only see the tip of the iceberg. This kind of touch may be that you have accidentally touched some kind of heavenly truth, which contains opportunities.
In mythology, there are many stories of extraordinary people who suddenly became enlightened, ascended to heaven in one step, or even flew into space. To these monks who have gone through untold hardships and practiced step by step, this seems incredible, but who can be sure that such things have never happened?
The so-called skills are nothing but guidance left by our predecessors to future generations. Before the predecessors, when there were no skills, everyone attained the Tao by directly comprehending the Way of Heaven.
Qin Sang read with great interest, almost forgetting his purpose, but felt regretful at the end, because the record of the jade slip owner was very brief, at most adding some simple thoughts and ideas, and then stopped there. Qin Sang wanted to know whether the jade slip owner gained anything from these touches, but there was no follow-up record, as if the record was just a temporary idea, and then it was forgotten.
These inspirations from the owner of the jade slip were of course not suitable for Qin Sang, but Qin Sang did not gain nothing. From those few words, Qin Sang was inspired a lot and was able to understand the law of the owner of the jade slip thinking about things.
He had a feeling that the owner of the jade slip was not like an alien, but had somewhat similar ideas to those of human cultivators.
The alien race and the human race are born with different talents. The alien race is born with bloodline supernatural powers, which will inevitably lead to different understandings of the world itself, cultivation, and even the Tao. Qin Sang has a deep understanding of this. However, he has not come into contact with enough alien races, and the number of times he has discussed the Tao is even fewer, so he is not sure.
Over the years, there have been many human cultivators who have entered the holy land, but it is unknown whether any great human beings have left caves in the holy land. However, if we trace back further, before it became the holy land of the alien race, Yuanjiao Immortal Mountain had other owners, and perhaps it was once controlled by a great human being, thus leaving traces that have survived to this day.
Qin Sang withdrew his spiritual consciousness from the jade slip, put it aside, and looked at other objects. After checking them one by one, he finally locked onto one of them.
This is a golden book, shining brightly, woven from three golden pages, with no words on it. When activated by true energy, it will only emit a more dazzling golden light, without any other magical features.
Other treasures are like the Golden Book and seem to have nothing to do with the Way of Thunder.
Qin Sang thought of the hidden rhythm of the Yanshan Pearl, and activated these treasures over and over again, combining them with thunder magic to continuously test them, and indeed made new discoveries.
This golden book also contains a rhythm similar to that of the shining pearls!
Qin Sang was overjoyed and tried to capture the rhythm, but failed. After some thought, he raised the Yanshan Pearl and casually performed a thunder spell.
The moment the thunder technique is sealed, the rhythm in the Yanshan Pearl will appear.
Qin Sang put the two treasures together and activated them at the same time, trying to make the rhythm appear at the same time.
Hard work pays off. After Qin Sang's continuous attempts, he finally reached a certain opportunity. Qin Sang clearly felt that the rhythm hidden in the golden book was triggered by the beads!
‘Wow! ’
The golden book opened by itself, shining with golden light.
Qin Sang looked intently and saw mysterious patterns emerging on the golden page, accompanied by countless mysterious runes. When all the patterns were activated, these patterns combined together, and at first glance, they seemed to be a formation.
However, Qin Sang soon changed his inference. What was engraved on the golden book was not a formation, but more like a guide. The real mystery could only be understood by seeing this spiritual formation.
“I wonder if that spiritual formation is in the cave. It seems I need to go there in person,” Qin Sang muttered as he closed the golden book.
He glanced at the geomancy map, then looked towards the direction of Chihu Lake, his face showing a pensive look.
Chihu was very calm and there was still no sign of the enemy.
The two places are not far apart, and it is completely possible to just take a look. I am just afraid that something will happen and I will be trapped there and unable to get out.
Finally, Qin Sang couldn't resist his curiosity and decided to go and take a look.
As for Chihu, the hope of eliminating the enemy here is not great, and Qin Sang is more trying to explore the enemy's strength.
The Qianjun Ring flickered and emitted a faint light, and Min Zhuo, who had turned into a refined corpse, was summoned out by Qin Sang.
After killing Ji Qiong and the other man, Qin Sang was given a corpse and the corpse of a ferocious beast. However, considering that there might be limitations in replacing the body and now is the time when help is needed, he still left the black gold skull on Min Zhuo.
Leaving Min Zhuo staring at the Red Lake, Qin Sang left the cave, identified the direction, and escaped quietly.
Two hours later.
Qin Sang slowed down his speed, looked down at the earth, and kept moving his eyes, searching for his target.
Soon he made a discovery. His figure flashed and he landed on the ground. He walked through the mountains and fields and soon came to the water.
'Crash...'
The sound of waves hitting the rocks on the shore is crisp and pleasant.
A ray of morning light appeared on the horizon, and there were ripples in the water like fish scales. A light morning mist floated above the water, flowing like water.
Qin Sang stood on the shore, gazing into the depths of the morning mist, and vaguely saw the outline of an island. It was on this island that the Shanshanzhu was discovered.
From a distance, the island was unusually quiet. It would be a good place to cultivate one's character if the environment here had not changed. Qin Sang had this thought in his mind, and he disappeared, stepped on the water, and walked through the morning mist for a while. The island was already in sight.
The island was much more vast than it looked from the shore. Qin Sang glanced over it and saw dark and deep mountain shadows. There was nothing unusual to be seen with the naked eye.
In fact, this island has a large island protection formation, and it is because of this island protection formation that this island can exist to this day.
Qin Sang sensed it and confirmed that the island protection formation was still there, but it was unknown whether the cave inside was still there. The Si You family was not the only one who knew about and entered this island.
Sensing the change in the power of the formation, Qin Sang deduced it in his mind for a while, then suddenly took a step forward and landed on a black rock on the shore.
'call! '
A gust of cold wind blew, and the scenery in front of me suddenly changed.
It was still the same island, but the black stone under Qin Sang's feet was gone, and he had been moved somewhere else without knowing it.
The island protection formation is a maze formation. The target seems to be close at hand, but in fact it is far away. If the monks are not proficient in the method of exploration, they may be trapped and killed here if they rush in rashly.
However, the rules of this formation have been figured out, and Qin Sang did not choose to break the formation in a high-profile manner because he considered that there might be other people on the island.
In this kind of maze, if you take a wrong step, all your efforts will be wasted. Qin Sang remained calm and walked slowly forward without being moved by any changes in the surrounding scenery.
Gradually, Qin Sang saw fog rising around him, the scene became hazy, and it became more difficult to break the formation. He would occasionally pause for a while to deduce the formation, but his speed was getting faster and faster.
Suddenly, Qin Sang stopped in his tracks, as if he sensed something, and looked ahead with a frown.
There was thick fog ahead, and the scene on the island could not be seen clearly with the naked eye. Qin Sang sensed an unusual aura there, as if it was another cultivator.
When he stopped, the energy also stopped moving, confirming Qin Sang's guess.
Neither of them can see each other.
Qin Sang secretly activated his divine power of the Heavenly Eyes, but what he saw were the shadows of several mountains in the fog. It was not that his divine power of the Heavenly Eyes had failed, but that the opponent was not in front of him. The opponent might be at the other end of the island. Because of the maze formation, the qi of both sides was drawn together.
The two sides confronted each other in the air. Qin Sang remained motionless and showed great patience, while secretly calculating the other party's position.
After a while, the other party lost his patience first, and a burst of pressure burst out and attacked Qin Sang.
Qin Sang snorted coldly, then launched a coercive attack, confronting the opponent head-on.
The two forces of pressure collided in the air, with no clear winner. Qin Sang was aggressive and took a step forward, unleashing an even stronger force of pressure.
The opponent did not show any signs of defeat, but he was clearly hesitant, probably because Qin Sang was too strong, which made him worried. After a short stalemate, the opponent's aura suddenly subsided, and the pressure quickly faded.
'boom! ’
The island shook.
Qin Sang looked up and saw a streak of blue light passing through the thick fog, which disappeared into the sky in an instant.
This surprised Qin Sang a little. The other party actually chose to retreat directly. It was too cautious. But on second thought, they met here. The other party might have explored the island and happened to run into him when he was about to leave.
The figure in the blue light was difficult to see clearly. Qin Sang didn't know what tribe the other party belonged to, and had no intention of chasing after him, so he put away his pressure and continued to move deeper into the formation.
outside the island.
A blue light shot out, and a figure appeared in the morning mist.
This person was tall, with unusually long limbs, and four fingers on each hand, connected by webbed flesh. He flew out of the island, turned around and looked back at the island, his eyes flickering, as if he was weighing something.
After a moment, the man shook his head slightly, flew away into the air.
……
A storm was resolved without a trace.
Qin Sang didn't know what this person would do next, but he didn't let his guard down. The cultivators who took part in the trial all came in groups, and there were only a few who fought alone like him. Now that he had only found the whereabouts of one person, how could he take it lightly?
Finally, Qin Sang passed through the island protection formation and entered the island.
It was already early morning, but the island was not dark at all. The light was bright, and the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant. There were no ferocious beasts making trouble here. Just like the normal world outside, there were many birds and beasts living here, full of vitality.
This island is very large, and the cave where the Qishan Pearl was obtained is only in one corner of the island. There are similar secret caves in other places on the island.
However, according to Si Huang, after the island's protective formation was broken, it attracted many cultivators, and almost all the secret places and ruins on the island had been looted.
He did not go straight to the cave, but searched around the island. On the one hand, he was on guard against the possibility that the man or his companions were hiding there, and on the other hand, he was looking for traces that could support his previous judgment.
If he encountered other secret ruins, he would go in to explore. As Si Huang said, they had already been looted, leaving only some empty pavilions and towers, and even the decorations inside had been moved away.
After this investigation, Qin Sang confirmed that there was no one else on the island, so he flew towards the cave.
‘Boom! ’
There is a white silk thread on the horizon and the sound of water is deafening.
Qin Sang flew to the top of the waterfall and saw a pine and cypress forest. He flicked his fingers and several streams of light disappeared into the forest. In an instant, a large formation was formed, isolating the inside and the outside.
He landed on the ground and walked in the woods for a while. Suddenly, the front opened up and a thatched cottage appeared. The cottage was old, low, dilapidated, and rickety, but it had survived until now.
Seeing that this place had not been destroyed, Qin Sang felt relieved. He took a step forward and gently pushed open the half-open wooden door. What came into view was a long altar, or to be exact, a stone platform.
Qin Sang's gaze turned and fell to the left side of the stone platform.
The stone platform was where the jade beads and other items were placed. It was unknown how long they had been there, leaving marks on the surface. Qin Sang saw a square mark at a glance. It was obvious that the golden book had been placed here before.
Being in the thatched cottage, Qin Sang did not sense the existence of the formation, but when he saw the imprint of the golden book, he suddenly had an urge to put the golden book back to its original place.
His expression changed slightly, but he did not rush to move. He turned and walked out of the hut, stood in front of the door, and stared into the sky.
After waiting for a long time and seeing that person not returning, Qin Sang returned to the house, took out the golden book, gently placed it into the seal, and immediately triggered the rhythm hidden in the golden book.
