Qin Hao, a Qi practitioner, naturally knew that it was a title for practitioners, more than in ancient times. He often saw these three words in ancient books. As for the pre-Qin Qi practitioners, although Qin Hao was not sure about it, he roughly You can also guess some.
It is rumored that in ancient times, although the earth's spiritual energy was declining at that time, it was not nearly exhausted as it is now. Many inheritances still existed at that time, just like the academic thoughts at that time, hundreds of schools of thought competed to practice qi. Scholars were also a grand occasion at that time.
It's a pity that later on, due to changes in the environment, resources decreased sharply, so that various inheritances were lost, and it became increasingly difficult for Qi practitioners to survive. They turned from prosperity to decline, and in the end they were almost extinct. They only existed in legends, like Qin Dynasty Certain well-known sects such as Hao or Zhao Guohua basically call themselves practitioners, not Qi practitioners.
"I once saw from the library of the Dragon Guard Clan that the Pre-Qin Qi Practitioners were once a group of very powerful monks. They were far more powerful than today's practitioners. It is not an exaggeration to say that they could move wind and rain and move mountains and seas. Among them The most famous representative should be Xu Fu." Su Yanran said softly.
Qin Hao frowned slightly: "Xu Fu? That warlock who led thousands of boys and girls to overseas fairy mountains to find medicine for Qin Shihuang? Doesn't it mean that he should be looking for the legendary Penglai Fairy Mountains and his ilk, and also the origin of the Japanese people? Wait for the explanation, how can it be related to this place?"
Su Yanran smiled: "That is just a possibility that modern humans have analyzed and speculated from a scientific perspective. As a practitioner, do you think it is credible? In the era of Qi practitioners in the pre-Qin period, it is conceivable that Xu Fu can be a representative How terrifying is his cultivation? Will such a being need to travel on the vast sea? It is estimated that he can run back and forth several times a day."
Qin Hao thought about it and it seemed that this was really the case. Let alone Xu Fu, even if he crossed the ocean now, it would not be difficult. It can be imagined from Xu Fu's cultivation level that there is no need for such a big fanfare. Modern people cannot judge what it is. Because their thoughts are restricted, they will not think about myths and legends at all.
Su Yanran continued: "According to my speculation from various ancient books left over from ancient times, what Xu Fu was looking for was not the Penglai Immortal Mountain at all, but the road to the starry sky, or in other words, the road to hope and the road to survival. At that time, the whole world was The spiritual energy has shown signs of decline. Although it will not have much impact on the Qi practitioners in the short term, it is really hard to say what the situation will be in the future. These people are planning ahead and are gradually unable to let the Qi practitioners if they want to leave. The living earth is looking for a way to survive, so we have such a plan.”
"In other words, Xu Fu is the representative elected by these Qi practitioners? Is he a pioneer? Someone like Magellan?" Qin Hao didn't know that there were still such secrets in the distant era. Although this was just speculation, it was It's reasonable, not impossible.
"By the way, why are those thousands of boys and girls?" Qin Hao asked again.
Su Yanran replied: "I'm not sure about this, but I guess it should be a better seedling. After all, the vast starry sky and the universe are too vast. I don't know how long this trip will take, and I don't know if I can find a way out, but if If we can find them, these children will be the new force of Qi practitioners in the pre-Qin period."
Qin Hao nodded: "Your conjecture is indeed very open, but it seems not impossible to contact this ancient road. After all, we have seen too many strange things before. Now I don't feel anything when I see or know it." How surprised. By the way, do you recognize these pre-Qin characters?"
"Just a little bit, it's of no use."
Qin Hao continued to ask: "How many, what does it mean? Why don't you teach me?"
"It's just a few words, how can I teach them?" Su Yanran said helplessly, "The five words "Pre-Qin Qi Practitioner" are still annotations I saw in an ancient book."
Well, five characters are indeed not very useful. After all, very few things from the Pre-Qin period have been preserved after so many years. Most of them are objects and the like. Words like these are the most difficult to preserve and have long been withered. The long river of history has been wiped out, and it is not easy to be able to recognize five characters. For example, Qin Hao, he is the first to be illiterate.
The two of them continued to walk forward, with the magic medicine constantly hanging on them. Qin Hao didn't have to worry too much about Su Yanran's body. He walked slowly forward with her on his back. The road was dark, damp, cold, and dead, as if Walking on the underworld path of hell is really not a good feeling.
After walking for a full day, Qin Hao was a little impatient. This ancient road seemed to have no end. Eternity was its theme. Walking here, you could hardly feel the passage of time and the changes of space. Follow the same path.
However, just when Qin Hao began to think about whether the future road would be like what he had experienced, with no end in sight. If so, he might as well refine the magic medicine for Su Yanran now. After all, who knows how long it would take, and with such The long stretch of road is almost exactly the same and there is no danger. It is estimated that there will be no danger, but it meets the conditions.
A bright light appeared in Qin Hao's eyes. Qin Hao sped up and walked following the light for about ten minutes. Suddenly his eyes lit up, as if he had gone from hell to heaven. They suddenly walked out of the ancient road. go outside.
The fresh air mixed with the fragrance of earthy flowers and plants flowed into their noses, and both of them couldn't help but take a deep breath, feeling the vitality of the nature outside, and their moods naturally felt much better.
The scene outside and the scene inside can be said to be two extremes. The inside is extremely dark and empty, while the outside is full of green mountains and green waters, like a fairyland on earth.
What surprised Qin Hao the most was that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, which was so rich that it almost liquefied and floated in the air, was like layers of mist, blocking Qin Hao and Su Yanran's eyes, making it difficult to see very far.
This place is ancient and vicissitudes of life. Every big tree is a hundred meters high, and even a small flower is half a person tall. It is obviously different from the earth.
However, Qin Hao didn't find it strange. With so much and rich aura of heaven and earth, it was not surprising that under its nourishment, these flowers, plants and trees would become spiritually intelligent, not to mention they were just huge in size.
After walking a short distance forward, Qin Hao saw that the surrounding area was covered with many strange crystal-like stones. Qin Hao recognized these things. They were exactly the same as the food that the big cat of the Wu clan ate in its cave. Among them It contains a rich aura of heaven and earth. Obviously, it is probably this thing that caused the changes in the environment in front of us.
Of course, it is also possible that the changes in the environment here and the strong aura of heaven and earth led to the birth of this thing. It is like which came first, the chicken or the egg. This kind of question is difficult to answer.
Just as Qin Hao and Su Yanran were observing their surroundings, suddenly there was a burst of bird song in the sky. Looking up, they saw a huge flying bird not far away in the sky that was red all over and had a faint flame burning. Hovering, each of its feathers was like a burning blood-red flame, shining extremely brightly.
"Could this be the divine bird Suzaku?" Even though Qin Hao was well-informed, he couldn't help but be stunned. He had seen this divine bird before in the City of Death. Whether it was a dead body or an existence in a tomb, there was a trace of this divine bird. figure.
Su Yanran was also dumbfounded. The divine bird in front of her really matched the description of the divine bird Suzaku in ancient books. It was really unimaginable. What they had seen before were dead bodies that would not move, but they didn't expect it to be so real here. I actually saw a living red bird. (To be continued)
