Hearing Yan Jiuling's words, Li Yan's pupils shrank.
He had already determined this matter, but from the other two directions.
The first is the Divine Gang. This object originally existed in large numbers in the human world. Those powerful beings in <"Classic of Mountains and Seas">, including various mythical beasts, originally had Divine Gang in their bodies, which allowed them to perform amazing Divine Ability, but now, it has become a myth.
The second is <Heavenly Laws>. The most important thing is to prevent Great Luo Dharma Realm from affecting the human world.
The only thing he was not sure about was how exactly this passage existed?
"Yan XiaoGe! You're finally here!"
At this moment, Zhao the Donkey rushed forward in a few steps, sulking, and obviously a little tired.
"Brother is tired..." Li Yan patted his shoulder.
On the way here, Yan Jiuling already told me the reason.
After Zhao the Donkey came to the Qiankun Academy, it happened that things were secretly transported from Mount Tai, and there was a lack of talents who were good at identifying the soil.
Firstly, I want to help Li Yan find spiritual objects, and secondly, I will be working in the academy in the future, so it is naturally difficult to shirk it.
"Hahaha... Master Zhao is very experienced and has helped me a lot."
Directorate of Astronomy Supervisor Bai Chenshan also came over, with a pale face and tortoiseshell glasses.
Although his body is covered with dirt, he still has a cool demeanor.
"I've met Bai Jianzheng."
Li Yan smiled and cupped his fists, but actually he was on guard.
He had heard of Bai Chenshan before, but this was his first official meeting.
This person is not only good at astrology, but also proficient in various miscellaneous studies such as earth mastering. He is a famous figure in Daoism.
But in "Nine Gates Yin Ruins", Zhao Qingxu once put forward conditions for him to kill Bai Chenshan.
The Central Plains cause is still unknown, so one must be careful.
Bai Chenshan didn't know what Li Yan was thinking. He nodded slightly, still smiling warmly, "I have heard about the names of Li Xiaoyou and 'Twelve Yuan Chen' for a long time, and today I finally meet them."
"Senior has given me too much praise."
Li Yan said politely, while Yan Jiuling next to him stepped forward and muttered a few words in a low voice.
Bai Chenshan was also hesitant, "Logically speaking, this thing should not be leaked, but Li Xiaoyou has been investigating this matter all the time, and the fact that he can find the thing depends entirely on his intelligence. It is naturally an exception. Don't worry, Minister Pei won't mind."
After saying that, he turned around and called a Commandery Commandant Office member to lead the way.
Everyone walked through the yard and came to the backyard Wing Room.
This Wing Room has obviously been converted into a warehouse. It is surrounded by cement slurry buildings like Divine Mechanism Camp. It looks heavy and solid at first glance. There are no windows on the front, rear, left, and right. There is only a huge stone door, which is flush with the wall and airtight.
Bai Chenshan and the captain Commandery Commandant Office took out the keys and inserted them into the two keyholes of the stone door at the same time.
Rumble~
The thick stone door slowly slid open amidst the dull turning sound of the hinges, revealing a smell of camphor wood, dust and metal air conditioning.
Several Commandery Commandant Office members stood outside the door, and Yan Jiuling personally lit the surrounding braziers with fire sticks.
When the light settles, the first thing that catches the eye is a huge stone slab half embedded in a special wooden frame.
The surface of the stone slab is not smooth. It is inlaid with bronze reliefs. It has been covered with patina for a long time.
Li Yan had never seen this kind of craftsmanship, but what attracted him even more was the content above.
In the center of this strange relief is a bronze sacred tree with an extremely complex structure.
The trunk of the tree is knotted like a dragon, winding upward and branching into nine layers of branches.
On each floor, there are ancient totems or strange symbols of different shapes.
There are several vague outlines scattered around the sacred tree.
One with a bird's head and a human body, one with a tiger tail and a star crown, one with antlers and a staff... the images are all different, simple and weird.
Under the relief, many fragments of intermittent text with clumsy strokes are engraved.
"Is this the Bronze Sacred Tree?"
Li Yan frowned slightly, feeling a little unsure.
"Bronze sacred tree?"
Bai Chenshan was surprised, then shook his head and looked at the relief obsessively, "This thing is clearly a piece of wood."
Li Yan Then I remembered that Sanxingdui has not been excavated yet, and the Bronze Sacred Tree was just a name from its previous life.
Moreover, this thing was quite different from what he had seen in his previous life.
He suppressed the vibration in his heart and asked thoughtfully, "Mount Tai is Five Sacred Mountains, revered as Dongyue. The footprints of Daoist masters of all dynasties are all over the place. How could such a remarkable and rare object not be discovered?"
"It's all about location."
Yan Jiuling points to the edge of the stone slab, and there are some imperceptible water marks and moss fossil traces that appear to be naturally formed. "This object was not found around the main peak of Mount Tai or around the temple. We press According to several vague and vague records in Xu Fu<Seeking Immortality Chapters>, we almost went through the inaccessible and dangerous valleys and streams in the back mountain of Mount Tai."
"According to the people who were sent, they finally found it in a deep underwater cave..."
"Mount Tai local chronicles record that there was Earth Dragon Turning Over hundreds of years ago, and that place also collapsed and was buried under rubble."
Li Yan nodded, "What do these words mean?"
"This is a bronze inscription from the Shang and Zhou dynasties."
Bai Chenshan stroked his beard and said, "It says... wooden construction, nine branches in the sky, teacher's instructions and surrender, Ruo Xing Ruo Qi, Fu Xi Dragon Body, riding on the clouds and soil, Hua Xu's footsteps, completed in seven days, the essence of Lei Ze, entering the world, the Dharma Realm is opened, leading to the great Luo..."
Li Yan heard this, and his heart suddenly shook.
Since he entered the spiritual path, he has studied many ancient books, so he can naturally understand these words.
Jianmu was mentioned above, and Xian Divine Descent lin was mentioned, which is similar to starlight and gas.
More importantly, Hua Xu performed a miracle and gave birth to Fuxi.
Fuxi comes from the Great Luo Dharma Realm!
Before he could say more, Bai Chenshan said with a mysterious look on his face, "The Book of the World says: Make nets to catch fish in the fields and sacrifice them, so the world calls them Paoxi clan. That is Fuxi. It is said that he was born in a thunderstorm. He should be a god. Then there is the Fuxi clan."
"Remember to keep this thing secret. If it gets spread, someone will definitely use it to cause trouble."
"Junior knows." Li Yan nodded seriously.
Since ancient times, there have been many people who have used Prognostication Art to bring chaos to the world. Even if they don't exist, they have to forcibly create them.
Myths, at best, remain just myths.
Bai Chenshan on the side looked at the relief and sighed, "No wonder Emperor First Emperor believed Xu Fu's words. Back then, they might have really wanted to use this Ascension Array to rebuild the country..."
Li Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, "That would be a violation of <Heavenly Laws>, and it will definitely lead to chaos!"
Combining his previous life knowledge, he now had a rough guess.
Great Luo Dharma Realm, maybe another strange space.
The ancient immortal Divine Descent is coming, and maybe he also has a lot of power from the Great Luo Dharma Realm, so he can show a lot of divine power.
But if more people come, the human world will be disturbed.
Great Flood, maybe it appears because of this, and then it will not only be a loss of lives.
The verbal reminder is just to warn Bai Chenshan to prevent Old Taoist from having any ideas.
"That's natural."
Bai Chenshan shook his head and said, "I am a Daoist. <Heavenly Laws> I still know some laws and regulations, but I never thought that this was the reason."
Yan Jiuling Seeing this, he quickly smoothed things over, "There are some more over there. Brother Li, please come with me."
Except for these weird bronze reliefs and jade sacrifices, the rest are obviously artifacts from the Qin Dynasty, and there is everything.
Bai Chenshan shook his head and said, "These are the formations of the Qin Dynasty. They may be related to the method of offering sacrifices to heaven and earth. Unfortunately, Earth Dragon Turning Over, the damage is a complete mess. I will try to restore it and find the method of those monsters to set up formations to deal with it."
"Well, that's what senior said."
Li Yan responded without paying attention.
Nine Cauldrons is no longer the Nine Cauldrons of the past, and this Ascension Array plan has long been abandoned.
Now that Jianmu is planning Nine Cauldrons, he must have other plans.
Thinking of this, Li Yan turned to look at Yan Jiuling, "Does Zhao Qingxu have any clues?"
Yan Jiuling shook his head and said, "We have re-checked the teaching staff of the academy, and there is nothing abnormal. Don't worry, Grandmaster Huo Yin is sitting in the academy right now, and there are experts patrolling secretly. If the demon really dares to sneak in, he will never come back!"
After visiting those ancient relics, Yan Jiuling took Li Yan back to his residence.
After the tea was served, Li Yan asked, "Brother Yan, have we become Attendant?"
"Look at my memory."
Yan Jiuling patted his head and said with a wry smile, "The academy supervisor is not here, and Bai Jianzheng is only teaching and does not want to get involved in the affairs of the academy. The opening ceremony almost fell entirely on us, and we are so busy that we are dizzy."
"Don't worry, this Attendant position is the most suitable for you. You don't need to stay in the academy all year round, and you have more freedom."
"In the future, the academy will definitely have a collection of rare treasures and many masters. If you want to use it, it will be justified. This quota is not obtained casually. It requires His Majesty's consent. Minister Pei has put in a lot of effort, and Brother Li has done several important things, so he can be admitted."
Sha LiFei was unhappy when he heard this, "We have been through life and death, and the others have never heard of it. Why should we be selected?"
"Of course there is a reason."
Yan Jiuling explained patiently, "Now, the academy, together with you, only has four teams hired as Attendant, so it is naturally not easy."
"Let me talk about this 'Sea Treasure' first. It has a big background. Its leader is named 'Sea Moon Monk'. He is a descendant of Master Jianzhen who was on the same ship when he sailed to the East. He has been hiding spying information from Japan for many years. He is familiar with the sea lanes and is recommended by Open Sea Faction. They mainly operate at sea, so their reputation in Divine Land Xuanmen is not obvious..."
"'Dragon Erosion' walks in the wilderness all year round. The leader is Treasure Hunter. There are many strange people in the team, and they are dedicated to exploring the dragon veins for the royal family..."
"As for the 'Cloud Guest', they are a team secretly cultivated by the imperial court. There are many roosters and dog robbers, and they never make mistakes..."
After saying this, Li Yan suddenly understood.
No wonder they don't have a good reputation. It turned out that they were all teams trained by the imperial court.
From this point of view, only they "Wandering Immortals" are outsiders.
"Right."
Yan Jiuling stood up again, "Brother Li, wait for me for a while."
After saying that, he hurried out the door.
After a while, he turned back again, followed by two guards, who together carried a heavy square wooden box.
The two of them were sweating profusely. After putting down the wooden box, they said goodbye and left.
Li Yan stepped forward to look at it, and saw that the wooden box was dark in color and made entirely of century-old Dark Wood. The emblem and layers of talismans "Qiankun Academy·Baiku Forbidden" were engraved on the surface. When he sniffed, it was filled with the strange smell of wet cold vegetation and old coffins.
"What is this?"
Li Yan asked with some doubts.
Yan Jiuling said, "Brother Li, isn't he looking for a treasure that contains vitality?"
"I asked the supervisor for permission to exchange your contribution to <Seeking Immortality Chapters> in advance. I have been looking for it in the book for a long time."
"There are not many treasures containing vitality. This object is classified as 'Jia Zi Qi'. I have thought about it and this object still fits the bill."
"Oh, what on earth is it?" Li Yan suddenly became interested.
Yan Jiuling shook his head and said, "I am not a practicing person, so you have to open this thing."
Li Yan didn't waste any time, took the key, pulled off the talisman, and opened the three bronze locks on the lid.
As soon as the lid of the box was opened, a cold and damp atmosphere instantly filled the air, like dead leaves rotting in the ground.
The box was lined with a thick layer of black cloth, and a strange bluish-black stone the size of a bowl was embedded in the center.
The surface of this strange rock is rugged and porous, covered with strange spiral patterns. Upon closer inspection, it looks like countless tiny vortices are slowly rotating.
"Stone?"
Li Yan frowned slightly when he saw this.
He has experience and can repair Great Luo Dharma Body's spiritual objects, which must have contained great vitality, such as Azure Dragon Mountain dinosaur eggs, the mountain god Tai Sui...
Stones are dead things.
But before asking, his pupils shrank and his eyes became excited, "What is this thing?"
At this moment, Great Luo Dharma Body is trembling crazily and appears extremely hungry.
Yan Jiuling also came up and said, "This thing has quite a lot of background."
"The chapter on unusual stones recorded in Volume 5 of the ancient book <Garden of the Strange> contains: 'When the emperor of Qi was deposed, a sea visitor presented a bluestone and placed it in the garden. After three days, all the exotic flowers and trees withered like frost, and the heart of the stone glowed faintly, as if it were condensed with blood.' According to the classics, this was the thing, and it later ended up in the secret vault of the palace..."
"In the early years of this dynasty, it was moved under the base of the pavilion deep in the imperial garden, using its coldness to calm the earth's atmosphere and promote the early blooming of precious flowers. However, in the winter months, all the plum trees, daphne, narcissus and other green things in the winter around the pavilion withered, blackened and decayed overnight! The roots were as if burned by a fierce fire..."
"Shanglin Garden officials dug three feet into the ground before recovering the stone under the foundation of the pavilion. The soil covered it was completely reduced to ashes, and there was no life left. Because something strange happened, it implicated the forbidden palace, and was later confiscated by the Enforcement Hall. It was designated as the source of disaster and sealed and stored in the warehouse."
As he said that, Yan Jiuling hesitated, "Enforcement Hall once checked and said that this stone has strange properties. It can swallow up the vitality of the surrounding vegetation and trees, turn it into its own use, and condense it without dissipation. Therefore, it contains strong vitality, which is really rare, but it is also sinister and evil. For ordinary people, if you get close to it, your qi and blood will be stagnant in the least, and the vitality will decline in the worst case."
"Brother Li, let's see if it works. If it's dangerous, I'll change it..."
"No need, this is just right!"
Li Yan interrupted him, resisted the desire to absorb, and closed the box again.
"As long as it works."
Seeing him like this, Yan Jiuling laughed dumbly and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Master Yan, there is Old Sha me too!"
Sha LiFei saw this and quickly said, "Where is the thing I asked you to find?"
Yan Jiuling smiled and said, "Your achievements are not enough for the treasures in the warehouse. Moreover, they are all treasures appropriated by the imperial palace Imperial Treasury. Each piece is priceless. It is not cost-effective to use it to refine firearms. There are also treasures in the firearms workshop, and Master Thunderfire Craftsman is in charge."
"I have already mentioned it to him, but the opening ceremony of the hospital is coming soon, so he can't take care of it. Then he will help you refine firearms."
"That's great!" Sha LiFei nodded with satisfaction.
Li Yan, who was next to him, hesitated for a moment and asked, "Where is the artifact?"
Yan Jiuling heard this, his face became solemn, he looked outside the door and whispered, "I haven't seen it either, but the supervisor has already sent word."
"Because this matter has made a big fuss, during the opening ceremony of the hospital, His Majesty will announce the artifact to the world!"
