As a senior of the same sect, Xu Lingkong instructed Ye Qingxuan for a long time before saying goodbye to everyone early the next morning.
The Uncle Xu Lingkong he met for the first time is a very face-saving person, which can be seen from the fact that he returned to Kunwu Mountain and still wanted to get "Yue Ruyu" back.
The old Taoist priest who was too poor still insisted on giving Ye Qingxuan some kind of meeting gift, and the old Taoist priest who had no property wanted to give Ye Qingxuan his precious donkey that survived the fall.
Damn, I already have a cow!
Ye Qingxuan desperately refused this proposal, and the old Taoist obviously seemed reluctant. Finally, the old Taoist slapped his thigh, took out a rag from his arms, and solemnly gestured and said, "This is where I am. In the land of the Southern Barbarians, a piece of animal skin was obtained from the remains of the senior who obtained the [Proud Yi Xunfeng Jue], except for a sword, a cheat book and this broken animal skin, there was nothing left on that senior. thing.
I don't know what the ghost symbols on this animal skin and these strange beasts mean, but I think they belong to the barbarians, and they are very important... because I accidentally stabbed this picture with a sword, nine The precious sword left only a white mark on it. The origin of this animal skin is extraordinary, and the things that can be recorded on it are also extraordinary.
I see that you like to explore, and this trip is for adventure, so I will give you this picture of animal skin as a gift, and hope that one day you can understand the secrets in it. "
When Xu Lingkong took out this broken animal skin, Ye Qingxuan's eyes showed some strange colors, and when he took the animal skin over with his own hands, he confirmed on the spot that this thing was actually his own back then. The barbarian treasure that I have seen - "The Picture of Barbarians".
It uses barbarian texts and pictures to record all kinds of strange skills and top skills in the heyday of the barbarians. This is what Mu Zhe said when he saw this picture in Ningbi Mountain Villa. Ye Qingxuan had already forgotten about it. Now, because Zhan Yu's meridians in one hand and one foot were abolished, he mentioned the "meridian grafting thaumaturgy" in it, and he remembered this treasure just now, and what was even more unexpected was that today he got it from a senior who returned from the wilderness. piece.
Ye Qingxuan was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked the old Taoist priest.
Xu Lingkong was a little stunned, and said, "Huh? Strange, you don't blame me for fooling you with weird things, but you thank me? I can see that you really mean it... What's going on?"
Ye Qingxuan will not tell him the significance of this piece of animal skin for the time being, because this significance is actually not very important to Ye Qingxuan. After all, this thing only has the same religious meaning as a sacred object for the barbarians. It is said that it is only possible to achieve political rule over the barbarians, which is beneficial to the court, and for individuals... well, for individuals, giving it to the barbarians can also get strong support and sincere friendship from the barbarians in exchange for great benefits .
"Of course I want to thank Uncle Xu!" Ye Qingxuan put the animal skin on his chest and said excitedly: "Although I don't know what this thing is for, but the ninth-grade sword looks like a white mark. , I put it on my chest like this, doesn't it mean that I have an extra layer of strong protection?"
Xu Lingkong was taken aback for a moment, but he had never considered the value of this animal skin from this point of view. If it is used in this way, it is really an incredible item...
Xu Lingkong laughed and sighed at Ye Qingxuan's whimsical idea. If another warrior got this kind of thing, he would hide it as a peerless treasure for fear of breaking it. Unexpectedly, Ye Qingxuan would use it as a shield.
"Okay, okay, no matter how you use it, this thing belongs to you, and I don't feel bad if it is broken..." Xu Lingkong patted Ye Qingxuan on the shoulder and said, "That's it, we will meet later!"
"Congratulations to Uncle Xu—"
Ye Qingxuan was the head of the ceremony, Xu Lingkong laughed and jumped on the back of the donkey, riding the little donkey upside down, staggering towards the west, which is the direction of Kunwu Mountain.
…
After Xu Lingkong disappeared at the turn of the official road, Jiang Shuihan, Wan Guotai and other brothers rushed over.
"Hey, Seventh, you are not mean. Your uncle has already left and you didn't ask us to see him off. It seems that we are very rude." Meng Yuanyun walked over muttering.
Ye Qingxuan turned his head and smiled, and said, "It's not that I didn't ask you to come out, it's because I saw that my uncle didn't want to call you out."
"Why? Does your uncle hate us so much?" Duan Sanshiqi asked.
Ye Qingxuan glanced at the road away, and explained: "My uncle is too face-saving, and I don't have a lot of money. I only have a few pieces on my body, so I have to give me some greetings. I almost knelt down before letting him He accepted the idea of giving me the donkey. It’s been so hard for me, if you are all here, why wouldn’t he take off all the donkeys and give them to you?”
Everyone burst into laughter.
This old Taoist is really interesting.
Meng Yuanjun asked curiously: "Then you didn't ask for your uncle's donkey, what did he give you in the end?"
Ye Qingxuan glanced at the crowd with a smile, finally set his eyes on Jiang Shuihan, and said, "Eighth brother and I have seen this thing before, but you guys have only heard of it..."
Everyone peeped at each other in amazement, and were extremely surprised in their hearts.
If this thing is not important, Ye Qingxuan will never let it go.
And Jiang Shuihan among the crowd frowned, showing guessing eyes, and murmured: "I have seen... and what everyone knows... that is, Brother Seven and I were alone, and the brothers were lucky enough to see each other when they were not there." .And it was something I mentioned in front of the brothers later, and it was very important... "
Jiang Shuihan's eyes lit up, showing disbelief, but he still asked speculatively: "The days when I was alone with Seventh Brother were two years ago, from when we first met in Ningbi Villa to when Seventh Brother The treasures Kunwu has seen during this time..."
Ye Qingxuan smiled and nodded. With such vague information, Lao Ba can immediately guess whether there is something like a computer chip in Lao Ba's head
Jiang Shuihan thought for a while, and asked lightly: "I have guessed a few important things, only the two of us have seen them, and the other brothers have not seen them... Can you give me another hint?"
"It has something to do with the barbarians!" Ye Qingxuan felt that Jiang Shuihan would definitely guess what he said.
Sure enough, as soon as Ye Qingxuan finished speaking, Jiang Shuihan couldn't maintain his composure, and asked in amazement: "You got a picture of "Savage Beast"!?"
"Oh? Is there that barbarian treasure that reconnects the meridians?"
Suddenly, everyone hurriedly asked.
Ye Qingxuan smiled and took out the broken animal skin from his bosom. It looked ugly, with many marks of knives and axes on it, as well as traces of fire, etc. It was traumatized...
But this thing is extremely extraordinary, enough to guide the hearts of the barbarians.
Jiang Shuihan held it in his hand, kept flipping through it, and finally said: "It really looks like "The Picture of Wild Beasts", have you confirmed it?"
Ye Qingxuan waved his hand, and with a choking sound, the eighth-grade Biluo sword behind his back came into his hands, and he jabbed vigorously at the animal skin, but the animal skin slammed, but it didn't pierce at all.
"Oh, my dear!" Meng Yuanjun snatched it away, and said with bright eyes: "This is really a treasure! What kind of skin is this? Eighth-rank swords can't be pierced, and there's not even a trace, shouldn't it be Could it be a beast?"
Ye Qingxuan and Jiang Shuihan were startled at the same time, grandma, never thought about this question.
The eighth-rank sword can't leave any traces, and the ninth-rank sword just leaves a white spot on it. Could it be that only magic weapons can break this thing? Then the original owner of this animal skin is probably not a divine beast.
Jiang Shuihan snatched the "Picture of Wild Beasts Fragments" from Meng Yuanyun's hands, looked at "Picture of Wild Beasts" carefully, his eyes flashed strangely.
Meng Yuanjun, who had been robbed of the baby, came over and mocked: "Baby, you snatched it fast enough, but can you understand barbaric language?"
Jiang Shuihan ignored Meng Yuanyun, and after a while, he handed the "fragment of the wild beast picture" to Ye Qingxuan, and said with a frown: "Seventh brother, it seems that our brother Mu Zhe didn't tell us about some things. Honestly..."
Ye Qingxuan was silent and didn't answer. He just held the animal skin tightly, shook his head, and led his brothers back to the private house.
"Old Ba, tell me quickly, what did your big brother Muzhe lie to you?" Meng Yuanyun, who is active in gossip, asked Jiang Shuihan as soon as he entered the room.
Jiang Shuihan smiled, and after everyone sat down together, he slowly said to Ye Qingxuan: "Back then, our brother Muzhe said that this thing was a sacred object of their barbarians. The sacrificial rituals and some thaumaturgy of the barbarians are probably not so simple... "
"Why do you say that?" Ye Qingxuan was also confused, but he still wanted to hear Jiang Shuihan's opinion first.
Jiang Shuihan spread the animal skin on the table, pointed to several scars and said: "Brother Seven tried it just now, and the eighth-rank sword can't leave any traces, but the few traces on it are enough to show that someone once used a sword of eighth rank or above. The weapon has cut this 'fragment of the wild beast picture', otherwise it would never have left such obvious marks, and what can leave marks should be a blow with all the strength of a master above the innate level... "
Everyone nodded.
Those who can leave traces on this must be more powerful weapons and stronger men.
Jiang Shuihan continued: "If it is said that the barbarians killed each other for this treasure, leaving traces, it is reasonable. Anyway, according to what Mu Zhe said, this thing is important to the barbarians, not to the Chinese. But I want to say that Mu Zhe must have lied about this matter. Please look at the scars..."
Jiang Shuihan pointed to a mark on the animal skin and said, "This mark is a mark of a sword, not a mark of a knife and an axe. As we all know, barbarians don't use swords... That is to say, a long time ago, this piece of animal skin was used for fighting. Those who robbed were not only the barbarians themselves, but also the Chinese warriors... "
"This doesn't explain anything..." Duan Sanshi said, "Maybe the barbarians themselves hired Chinese experts to help a certain tribe to snatch this treasure..."
Meng Yuanyun nodded and said: "It's possible. But the third brother may not know that the 'fragment of wild beasts' we saw back then was found by Mo Yeli from the temple of the Yeli tribe in the Shiwanda mountain. Yes, and it was found on the remains of a Chinese master in a sacrificial well. In other words, this picture was first snatched by this master at the time. A Chinese master traveled thousands of miles and risked his life What is the purpose of robbing the holy relics of foreigners in danger?"
"Didn't everyone guess it at the time? That person is the real Jiulei of the Shenxiao sect. He robbed the animal skin to obtain the grafting thaumaturgy. Department] Infuriating..."
Jiang Shuihan said with a smile: "I remember what Brother Mu Zhe said. But... what if it wasn't? How did Taoist Jiulei know that the Yeli tribe had this animal skin picture in their hands, and also happened to know that this picture contained this picture? Thaumaturgy...Mr. Mu Zhe said that the "Picture of Savage Beasts" was divided into six parts at that time. Did Master Jiu Lei see the other five sets of animal skins to confirm that there was no such thaumaturgy before going to the temple of the Yeli tribe? I think Master Jiu Lei still doesn't have this ability..."
Ye Qingxuan fell into deep thought.
This is indeed a question. It is impossible for Master Jiulei to know that this thaumaturgy is on the animal skin in the hands of the Ye Li tribe, unless someone from the barbarian tribe told him, and the division of the barbarian tribe back then was not easy for Master Jiulei at that time. It was hundreds of years ago, or even nearly a thousand years ago. How many people in the barbarians now know the specific information on the animal skin
Jiang Shuihan continued: "Of course, this is all my guess. I wonder if Senior Xu has explained how he got the 'fragment of the wild beast' that he taught you..."
Ye Qingxuan took a deep breath, and said: "It was also found from the remains of a Chinese warrior who was lost in the wilderness..."
Everyone was in an uproar.
It is the "Picture of Savage Beasts" that the Chinese warriors went to the Southern Barbarians to seize!
What a coincidence...
In other words, there is really a problem!
According to Mu Zhe's explanation, this thing was divided into six parts. When the barbarians split up, the major tribes divided it up. Including the Yeli tribe who entered Shiwanda Mountain, the six barbarian tribes got it. Zhe's Shuman tribe doesn't have anything like this sacred object.
Now the "Picture of Savage Beasts" that was obtained from the Yeli people is placed in Shuman's tribe, and is closely guarded by envoys sent by the Huangfu Dynasty and Shuman's warriors. Which tribe do you belong to
The piece of animal skin from the Ye Li tribe was the size of a table, and the one in Ye Qingxuan's hand was about one-third the size of that piece. Could it be cut from some tribe's animal skin
A ninth-grade sword could only cut a white mark on the "Picture of Savage Beasts". Could it be that the barbarians used divine weapons to cut it off
Ye Qingxuan took a closer look at the edge of this piece of animal skin. It was extremely irregular, as if it had been split rather than cut. And after looking around, the edges are disconnected at about the same time, not one after another...
If this is a piece produced when "The Picture of Savage Beasts" split, does that mean that this is one of the six pieces? If so, which tribe among the barbarians lost its treasure
Or Mu Zhe was lying completely at that time. The "Savage Beast Picture" was not split into six pieces, but more pieces, but only six pieces were left in the hands of the barbarians, and the rest were taken away by other ethnic groups. Masters got...
Ye Qingxuan expressed his observation...
Jiang Shuihan said indifferently: "Please allow me to make an inference, a bold inference! Chinese warriors went all the way to the barbarians to find and snatch this "Barbarian Picture" not because of its political and religious significance, but because of its political and religious significance. Practical benefits! For warriors, the greatest benefit in this world is the improvement of strength, and in this "Savage Beast Picture", there may be a way to directly improve strength, of course it is definitely not a miracle like "grafting meridians" It's a small skill, but it should be... "
Jiang Shuihan's expression changed, he was taken aback by his guess, and he remained silent with a livid face.
"Why? Why don't you keep talking?" This time Ruhua, who was burning with gossip, couldn't bear Jiang Shuihan's silence, and urged her.
Meng Yuanyun curled his lips and said, "What else could it be? The thing that can make the strong innate go to the outside world to pursue it is of course the supreme secret of the martial art of 'Broken Void'..."
"Shatter the Void!?"
Everyone's breathing suddenly became rapid.
Obtaining this secret is definitely not only helpful to the martial arts practitioners who have the last move. Even if the knowledge that can shatter the void does not make people shatter the void, at least it is enough to make the person who gets it feel that martial arts are second to none in the world. Number one and number two.
According to this conclusion, the reverse deduction can also explain why this animal skin is so strong and precious. Just to record sacrificial ceremonies and various thaumaturgy, any sturdy animal skin can be used to record, and it can be preserved for a long time. It is really unnecessary to use such a piece of animal skin that is already considered a ninth-grade treasure to record.
Jiang Shuihan stroked the "Brutal Beast Picture Fragment" and said: "Perhaps, at that time, it was the foreign experts who knew the precious piece of "Brutal Beast Picture", or the tribe of the barbarian tribe themselves, and a conflict broke out in order to compete for the cheat book of 'Broken Void' , a few strong men no less than the 'Heavenly Master' snatched this animal skin together, and as a result, their true energy erupted at the same time, tearing this intact animal skin apart... Otherwise, why are the edges so uneven?"
Ye Qingxuan finally let out a long breath, and said: "The idea makes sense. For thousands of years, there have been many "shattered void" strongmen in the Chinese race. How could there be no strongman of 'Shattered Void'? Perhaps this "Picture of Savage Beasts" is not only a treasure for barbarian sacrifices, but also a cheat book left by a strong man of 'Shattered Void' back then. Collect all these fragments, Maybe we can get the inheritance of this barbarian strongman, and get the secret of 'Shattered Void'..."
Wan Guotai said in a deep voice: "Only in this way can we explain why there are so many strong Chinese people who go deep into the southern barbarians to find this thing... and only the secret of 'Shattered Void' is worthy of these inborn talents. The strong, those who give up their lives to find it!"
