As Zhang Xuanzhi told the story, Lin Zixiao gradually understood what happened.
In Zhang Xuanzhi's narration, the First Emperor unified China, pacified the Baiyue in the south, defeated the Huns in the north, and abolished the feudal system!
When the First Emperor was in power, there was an alchemist who told him that there were three dragon veins in China, and that these three dragon veins all had the aura of an emperor!
Therefore, the First Emperor was very worried that a future emperor would be born in the area of these three dragon veins and would compete with him for the world.
So it was decided to occupy the central dragon vein first, and then think of other ways to occupy the other two dragon veins.
But later, the First Emperor had no way to occupy the other two dragon veins. In order to ensure the longevity of the Qin Dynasty, he went to great lengths to destroy the southern and northern dragon veins...
He wanted to use this to prevent the emergence of other emperors and allow the Qin Dynasty to be passed down for eternity.
pity…
The result was naturally failure, and instead led to the death of Qin II.
Finally, Zhang Xuanzhi sighed: "According to the records, it was after the First Emperor cut off the two dragon veins that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth began to dry up, and the mysterious gates of all living beings gradually closed, and it was difficult for cultivators to emerge in the world anymore."
“Although there is still one last dragon to buy, a lot of things happened afterwards. I also heard a lot of legends later that all the dragon veins were cut off?”
Zhang Xuanzhi was not sure either, so he just told it as a story: "It is said that many Feng Shui masters have found out the location of the dragon veins, and either buried their employers in the dragon veins or hid their ancestors in them..."
"Over time, the dragon vein is no longer a dragon vein."
"I see… "
Lin Zixiao nodded and thought for a moment.
Nowadays, she has some understanding of the earth, such as the Qin, Han, Three Kingdoms, Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties.
Although it's not deep, it's not so bad that it doesn't match the number.
After listening to Zhang Xuanzhi's story, I couldn't help but have some guesses in my mind.
"Is it really related to the dragon veins? Are all the dragon veins cut off?"
She said to herself, "But there should be dragon veins outside of China. Could it be that they are also cut off?"
"But even if there are still a few left, they are useless..."
Although the earth is very small compared to many cultivation worlds and planets, it is still a planet after all!
It’s such a big planet with only a few dragon veins, and you want to make the earth spiritual
This is necessarily impossible.
After another detailed discussion, Lin Zixiao said goodbye.
"Daoyou, are you leaving now?!"
Zhang Xuan was stunned, then he stood up and said, "Daoyou, I also have a question, I dare to ask you to solve it."
"Please speak." Lin Zixiao did not refuse.
"Is the day of prosperity still far away?"
"… "
Lin Zixiao looked at Zhang Xuanzhi with a little surprise: "What do you know?"
"You are joking, fellow Taoist." Zhang Xuanzhi smiled helplessly: "As Taoists of my generation, all we can do is to read the Taoist scriptures and cultivate our minds and cultivate our nature."
"The reason why I know some of it is because the Heavenly Master who entered Taoism in the early years left behind a few words..."
"I see!"
Lin Zixiao nodded: "The day of the great rejuvenation of the world... should not be far away."
Is it far
Lin Zixiao himself couldn't tell an exact time point, but now it is basically certain that the main reason why the earth lost its spiritual energy and entered the era of magic is that the dragon veins were completely destroyed.
This is the reason!
How to restore the vitality of the earth
Continue the dragon vein
Lin Zixiao had thought of this method before, but now it seems that it is not feasible.
Too many dragon veins have been broken, so even if they are to be repaired, they need to be "restarted", and this "restart" is a huge project.
It would be better to let the earth possess spiritual energy first. As long as there is a constant supply of spiritual energy nourishment, one day, new dragon veins will be born on the earth.
But when will the earth have enough spiritual energy
Lin Zixiao couldn't explain it clearly, but she had a feeling that that day would not be far away.
"Then, I will wait for good news."
Zhang Xuanzhi smiled and bowed: "If you need any help, please feel free to contact us. Although we are all ordinary people in Tianshi Mansion now, and there are no real Taoists, we still have some power and should be able to handle some unnecessary troubles."
"Can!"
Lin Zixiao nodded: "If there is nothing else, I will leave."
"I'll take you to get the alchemy furnace!"
Zhang Xuanzhilian said he would lead the way.
Out of the room...
Most of the tourists and disciples of Tianshi Mansion who had gathered there had now dispersed.
But, the 'trio' is still there.
When they found a middle-aged man leading the way for Lin Zixiao, they were all a little confused...
"Who is that person?"
"Didn't the old Taoist priest just say that he wanted to talk to him alone? Why did a middle-aged man suddenly appear?"
"Where's the old master?!"
They were confused...
"Quick, follow and see!"
…
Not only were they stunned, several disciples from the Tianshi Mansion nearby were also dumbfounded after seeing this scene.
"Who is that middle-aged Taoist priest? Why does he look familiar?"
"Who knows?!"
“But why is he wearing the old Taoist’s clothes?”
"this… "
"Where's the old master?!"
…
After crossing half of the Tianshi Mansion and causing quite a few people to be shocked, Zhang Xuanzhi led Lin Zixiao into the small courtyard.
"I'm ashamed to say that."
The old Taoist priest smiled awkwardly: "Over the years, no one has been able to enter the Dao. Many of the things left by our ancestors have now become junk..."
"This small courtyard is where the sundries are piled up."
"I remember there was an alchemy furnace, and it was left by the third generation old Heavenly Master, but I can't remember exactly where it is. Daoist friend, wait for me to look for it."
“No need.”
Lin Zixiao shook his head slightly: "I know where it is."
She slowly stretched out her right hand, and under Zhang Xuanzhi's gaze...
Buzz!
A pile of "junk" not far away suddenly shook, and then a furnace about one and a half meters high flew out by itself.
Boom!
The alchemy furnace was heavy and fell in front of Lin Zixiao. At first glance, it was already covered with dust.
"hiss!"
Even though he knew that Lin Zixiao was an immortal cultivator, Zhang Xuanzhi couldn't help but be extremely shocked when he saw this scene.
"A magical weapon?"
when!
Lin Zixiao flicked his fingers and the ancient alchemy furnace shook violently. Countless dust particles fell off, revealing its original color.
The whole thing is brass in color, and there is a faint medicinal smell coming from it.
At the same time, Lin Zixiao could clearly sense some fluctuations of "spiritual power" within it, but unfortunately, it was almost wiped out.
"That's right. In an environment without spiritual energy, even spiritual tools or even magic tools will lose their spirituality after a certain period of time and gradually degenerate into ordinary tools, let alone magic tools?"
Magical alchemy furnace...
In the world of immortal cultivation, this is just an entry-level alchemy furnace, but on Earth, it is already rare and valuable.
"Fortunately, I came at the right time. If I had come a few years later, I would have completely degenerated into a mortal weapon, right?"
Dharma Instruments…
This level is not really high, but for now, it is just right!
In addition, Qi Zixiao glanced around and saw several former magic tools among the many miscellaneous items...
But now, its spirituality and magic power have been worn away by the years, and it has transformed into a mundane object of little use.
This situation made her sigh.
Then, she looked at Zhang Xuanzhi: "So, I'll take you away?"
"You can take it away..."
"but."
Zhang Xuanzhi suddenly asked: "Can you take this big furnace away?"
"able."
Lin Zixiao nodded slightly, then tapped the alchemy furnace lightly, and then... injected true essence.
Buzz!
The alchemy furnace began to tremble instantly. At the same time, a brass light flashed. Although it was not dazzling, it was still very eye-catching.
"this… "
Zhang Xuanzhi opened his mouth wide, unable to remain calm.
"Can it be shrunk?"
"cannot."
Lin Zixiao responded: "It can become lighter..."
What she had to do was very simple, which was to make the alchemy furnace recognize its master, or in other words, to refine it!
Magical weapons are just treasures of the lowest level. They can become bigger or smaller, which is something that a general alchemy furnace of this level cannot do.
After all, the alchemy furnace is used to refine elixirs and it is not often moved around. Moreover, cultivators have storage bags and are not afraid of trouble.
Of course, except for flying swords.
Even for a flying sword at the magical instrument level, enlarging or shrinking is a 'basic operation', but the 'multiplier' for enlarging or shrinking is very different.
But no matter what kind of magic weapon is refined, it will become "light" to the owner.
This way, it will be convenient to take away.
Even if Lin Zixiao didn't refine the alchemy furnace, he could still take it away. How could a dignified Jindan cultivator not be able to carry an alchemy furnace? !
However, it will be easier after refining...
And just when she was refining the alchemy furnace and all the light was fading, a group of people came in noisily.
…
"Uncle Master, he's inside!"
The voice reaches you before you arrive.
"Yes, we saw a middle-aged man wearing the old Taoist's clothes, and then he brought the Taoist priest in!"
"And we couldn't find the old Taoist priest. I'm afraid he must have been... murdered!"
"Wow, old master, you died miserably!!!"
"Don't look for it, just follow me in and find out what's going on!"
…
Zhang Xuanzhi's face suddenly turned dark: "..."
I've been 'reborn', I don't know how good it is now, how come I died so miserably?!
Lin Zixiao looked at Zhang Xuanzhi and said, "Your trouble is coming."
"… "
Zhang Xuanzhi was slightly stunned, then he understood what Lin Zixiao meant.
In short…
Such huge changes!
Half an hour ago, he was still an old man in his seventies or eighties. Although he was not dying, he was not far from it.
But what about now
I am clearly a strong man in his forties!
How do you explain this
It's easy to explain it, but the problem is, how to prove that 'I' am 'I'? If you can't prove it...
Hey, that would be fun.
"Don't worry, fellow Daoist!"
"I will handle this matter. I will make sure that you will not regret this trip. No one can stop you from taking the furnace away!"
Zhang Xuanzhi immediately walked towards the gate of the courtyard with a dark face and bumped into the person who came.
