Pre-Qin refers to the historical era before the Qin Dynasty in ancient China, starting from the time when human beings were born in ancient times, and ending when Qin Shihuang destroyed the six kingdoms in 221 BC.
Zhong Dingwen, also known as Jinwen, is an inscription carved on Yin and Zhou bronzes. The age of Jinwen's application ranged from the early Shang Dynasty to Qin's destruction of the six kingdoms, with the Zhou Dynasty being the most prosperous.
Inside the Taoist temple, on the mottled ancient walls, there are lines of bells and tripods engraved, which are powerful and majestic, with dense and dense air circulation, and a dignified form.
Ye Fan concentrated on his expression and carefully identified 215 ancient characters here. His brushwork is powerful, his body is thin and tendon-like, and he seems to have life.
He recognized a total of sixty-nine characters, and he didn't know the remaining one hundred and forty-six characters. No matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't understand its meaning.
Among the sixty-nine ancient characters recognized, nine characters were deduced based on the meaning of the context. This kind of ancient characters is really too old.
Even a true old scholar cannot fully recognize Zhong Dingwen. On the other side of the starry sky, descendants of this kind of writing can only recognize part of it.
"Pre-Qin Qi Refiner..." Ye Fan's heart trembled. It really was the inscription left by the ancients from the other side of the starry sky.
After carefully reading these records, although he couldn't read most of the characters, he still initially understood that this person undoubtedly belonged to the pre-Qin period of ancient China.
But who it is, whether they have a prominent status in ancient history, he can't speculate, after all, there are nearly one hundred and fifty people who can't be identified at all.
"A Qi refiner..." This was the first time he heard such a statement.
These three words gave Ye Fan infinite reverie, making him seem to have seen a mysterious time, and there were unknown secrets before ancient times.
Sixty-nine characters can be identified, but they are not connected together, and it is difficult to connect the front and back. He watched it for a long time, but he only vaguely understood part of it.
This pre-Qin qi practitioner didn't cross the void by himself and came to the starry sky. Zhong Dingwen recorded that there was a reason, but he couldn't identify it.
"Is this some kind of secret technique?" The big black dog asked impatiently.
"no!"
"Boy, you're hiding something. We discovered this at the same time. Hurry up and decipher it." The big black dog urged.
Ye Fan ignored it, turned to Tu Fei and said, "Are there other worlds besides this world, have you ever heard of them?"
Tu Fei was suspicious, shook his head, and said, "I've never heard of it."
"What do you know..." Next to it, the big black dog seemed taken aback, and said, "These bird writings are records about this?"
Ye Fan suddenly thought that this big dog is very mysterious, maybe it can know many unknown secrets, and said, "Have you heard of it?"
"I... have heard a little bit." Heihuang replied, and then asked impatiently: "What exactly are these strange words on the wall recorded?"
Tu Fei also looked over, and he also wanted to know what kind of origin this Taoist temple has.
"The things recorded on it are unimaginable, saying that there is another world on the other side of the starry sky..."
"What?!" Tu Fei exclaimed suddenly, "Could it be that there are real immortals?"
The big black dog's eyes flickered, and he asked: "Be more detailed, and translate all the above words, so that we can understand clearly."
"The people in that place call themselves Qi refiners. This is a pre-Qin Qi refiner. He crossed the endless starry sky and left stone carvings after coming here."
"This...how is it possible, is it true or not?" Tu Fei was full of shock, a little dumbfounded, and said: "Are pre-Qin qi refiners so powerful, can they be compared to the great emperor?"
Ye Fan said: "He didn't come here by himself, he came to this world inexplicably along the road left by the ancients."
"The ancients... What kind of people are they, walking among many star fields?" Tu Fei's heart fluctuated, and countless associations arose.
And the big black dog's eyes shot two sharp rays of light, saying: "Where did this guy go, if you can catch him, you will get a priceless treasure."
"Someone came to this world, so no one noticed?" Ye Fan was very disappointed, originally thought that he could get some clues from them.
"People who are not in this world will definitely pay attention to concealing themselves. Now that so many years have passed, if he is still alive, he is already comparable to the great masters." Tu Fei speculates that this Taoist temple has a history of at least two thousand years .
Ye Fan nodded. People in the pre-Qin period were people more than two thousand years ago at the latest. If this person is still alive, he may become the supreme leader of a certain great religion.
"Boy, how do you know these bird characters?" The big black dog stared at Ye Fan with deep meaning in his eyes.
Tu Fei had long been suspicious, and looked over, full of puzzlement.
"I have read an ancient book, and there are some words like this in it, with superficial annotations, so I understand it somewhat." Ye Fan replied calmly.
"Teach me, this kind of writing is very mysterious, I want to learn it." The big black dog said.
Ye Fan replied without hesitation: "Okay, there is no problem, I will teach you a word, you teach me a Dao pattern."
The big black dog immediately rolled his eyes, with a resentful look on his face. Daowen is its secret skill. Ye Fan has been playing with it for a long time, but he still hasn't got anything.
"Heihuang, you haven't said anything yet, have you heard about the world on the other side of the starry sky?" Ye Fan asked.
"I know too little. In the past, a great emperor only said one or two sentences. I don't know the details."
"Can you be more specific?" Ye Fan wanted to thump it.
"How specific, I only know that the great emperor often looks up at the starry sky late at night, and I don't know anything else." The big black dog shook his head.
"Sigou, are you hiding it on purpose?" Ye Fan pressed.
"Woof!" The big black dog bared its teeth and bit it.
"You really don't know?" Ye Fan was suspicious.
"If the emperor knew, would I still ask you? I only know that this is the emperor's secret, and outsiders don't know it at all." The big black dog replied angrily.
As night fell, the fiery desert became colder and colder. In the middle of the night, it was icy cold, and ordinary people would be frozen to death.
Ye Fan looked up at the starry sky, he was looking for his way back.
"The ancients could cross the void, so can I. I will definitely be able to go back in the future..." He felt that there must be many secrets in the ancient times of his hometown.
"Boy, do you really think of yourself as the great emperor?" Heihuang teased after waking up next to the Taoist temple.
"Did the old emperor look up at the starry sky every night?" Ye Fan asked calmly.
"It's not every night, but occasionally I'm lost in thought, and I just sit all night." Heihuang replied with a yawn.
"How do you know so clearly?" Ye Fan asked suddenly.
Tu Fei also woke up, leaning his back against the wall of the Taoist temple, opened his eyes, and said: "This dead dog has many secrets, but he just refuses to tell them, he knows how to greedily grab other people's things all day long, and never shares anything with others. "
"Woof!" The barking of the dog pierced the night sky.
"Okay, don't bite."
"All this is what I have heard. The emperor's secrets are so easy to know. Others will not tell them even if they cry and beg me."
"Which star fields does the emperor like to see?" Ye Fan asked.
"Too many, Ziwei, Taiwei..." The big black dog said a few names casually.
Ye Fan returned to the Taoist temple and observed a line of Zhong Dingwen again. He engraved it with his hands, carefully figured it out, and finally guessed two characters, that is...Ziwei!
The pre-Qin qi practitioner mentioned these two words in Zhong Dingwen, which moved Ye Fan, and then he began to trace it on the wall.
"Srustling..."
Suddenly, the stone wall fell like dust, all the handwriting disappeared, and a large piece of the mottled ancient wall was separated.
Is it too old, or something else? Ye Fan's heart moved, and he swiped lightly with his finger, and the stone chips flew, and this piece of stone carving disappeared completely, falling down a thick layer.
"Ding"
With a soft sound, a dull metal box was revealed from the decaying wall, dull, old and ordinary.
"Dug out the treasure!" The big black dog barked, and rushed forward, grinning, wanting to fight with Ye Fan.
Tu Fei was behind and grabbed its bald tail, preventing it from going forward.
"Wow!"
Just like a tiger's butt that can't be touched, the big black dog's bald tail is definitely a forbidden area. It turned around and began to bite wildly.
Ye Fan cut open the wall and took out the metal box. It was long and made of bronze. It was more than three feet long and the width of a palm. It fit tightly and was tightly sealed.
The bronze metal box was heavy, with a hint of coolness coming out, and there was a faint divine power on it.
Ye Fan instantly understood that the wall was originally sealed, but due to the age, the divine power leaked out and a lot of stone chips fell off.
"Wow!"
The big black dog bit Tu Fei a few times, finally stopped, and quickly moved closer to observe the long bronze box.
"Stay there obediently, don't snatch it!" Ye Fan warned it.
"Don't worry, the emperor just wanted to see, why would he rob his own people?" The big black dog replied with its bald tail.
"Damn it, dead dog!" Tu Fei cursed, a row of teeth marks appeared on his calf, and he walked over staggeringly.
The two of them and the dog were all looking forward to it. After all, this was left by the Qi refiners on the other side of the starry sky, especially Ye Fan, who was even a little nervous.
He took out the tripod, hung it over his head, and let down streaks of dark yellow energy to protect his body, and then slowly opened the long metal box.
When the bronze box cover was lifted, there was no precious light blooming, no auspicious color lingering, not even a little bit of divine power fluctuation.
Inside the metal box, there is a wooden whip, which is very simple, engraved with many Dao patterns, very mysterious, and the more you look at it, the more attractive it is.
It is more than three feet long and has more than 20 sections. Each section has several complicated lines, which are clearly branded on it, natural and mysterious.
"A wooden whip, from the other side of the starry sky, what kind of treasure is this?" Ye Fan was surprised.
Among the known pre-Qin figures, who holds a wooden whip? He thought about it carefully.
The big black dog is an expert, when he saw this wooden whip that was like an iron sword, his saliva almost flowed out, because there were mysterious dao patterns in every section.
"Could it be that this is a treasure, but why can't I feel the fluctuation of divine power?" Tu Fei asked.
"Buzz!"
The wooden whip trembled slightly, and unexpectedly floated out of the metal wooden box, flying towards the big black dog.
"A dead dog, are you really robbing?!" Ye Fan said angrily.
"This emperor is destined to be with me when I see this treasure. I don't want the source I snatched from Niubi. I will give it to you. I want this wooden whip!" The big black dog hugged the wooden whip tightly with its big paws.
"This greedy big dog really wants to grab a treasure!" Tu Fei gritted his teeth.
"Aw..." Suddenly, the big black dog screamed and threw the wooden whip on the ground. Standing on the ground with its hind legs, it jumped up and down, its front paws hugged its head, and it opened its mouth wide, howling in pain. .
"What's wrong with you, dead dog?" Ye Fan asked.
"Damn it, the emperor's consciousness has been attacked." The big black dog barked in pain.
"It deserves it, who told you to be so greedy!" Ye Fan didn't sympathize with it at all. Last time it twitched to the ground because it snatched the fruit cut from the stone mill, and today it committed the old problem again.
"What kind of treasure is this?" Tu Fei was suspicious, he didn't dare to touch the wooden whip, and looked around it, but found nothing unusual.
"Ah..." Suddenly, he also screamed and covered his forehead.
"Brother Tu, are you okay?" Ye Fan was surprised.
"Don't probe it with divine sense, this wooden whip attacks the divine sense." Tu Fei said.
With a thought in his heart, Ye Fan picked up the wooden whip, held it in his hand, and said to himself, "Could this be a wooden whip dedicated to hitting spiritual consciousness?"
The magic whip left by the pre-Qin Qi refiners came from the other side of the starry sky. Such a treasure is likely to be left by a relatively famous Qi refiner.
