The man in the ice was frozen, but his breath was not extinguished. He was obviously not a mortal.
This person was either trapped by the enemy's spells, or used the mysterious ice seal to isolate his breath, and then drifted away from the enemy by drifting in the river.
It looks more like the latter, but this person's current condition is not good.
He may have thought of getting out of danger and breaking the ice on his own after waking up, but the injuries on his body were too severe. Not only did he show no sign of waking up, but his breath became weaker and weaker.
"Tsk! This guy is going to freeze to death if he doesn't let it out."
How could Suzaku tolerate such a good-tempered nature? He sank his wings, opened his mouth and spit out a mouthful of fire, rolling the ice cubes from the center of the river to the shore.
As he fell down, he said, "Maybe something big happened in front of me. If it's related to the main altar you're looking for, wake him up and ask."
Qin Sang knew that this was definitely not Zhuque's true intention, but she was just worried that he didn't want to meddle in other people's business and just said it casually.
But Qin Sang didn't stop him.
Firstly, what Suzaku said made sense, and secondly, he found that the people in the ice looked familiar and he might recognize them.
'boom!'
Xuan Bing was stirred by the flames, fell to the ground, and immediately fell into pieces, and the man in the ice rolled out.
The man was lying on his back, with his hands on his chest, holding a sword tightly.
His face was very young, he looked like a young man in his twenties, his complexion was pale, his breath was unusually weak, and the white robe on his body was stained red in many places by blood, which was frozen by Xuanbing, including his own blood and others'.
The facial features and temperament of this young man in white robes have changed slightly from those days, but Qin Sang can definitely be the same person.
It was the young man who sold him the Taoist token in Yunding City. He didn't expect to meet again here.
At that time, the young man was only in the Qi refining stage, but now he has reached the late stage of Jindan cultivation and is not far from Nascent Soul.
It takes more than two hundred years to reach the Nascent Soul, and he has obtained a Purple Origin Pill from Qin Sang, so the chance of conceiving a baby is not small.
If Qin Sang remembered correctly, his young father passed away, and he had to show his face at a young age and take risks to do business. There must be no backer behind him.
If the young man had never become a disciple and achieved this result as a casual cultivator, he would be considered outstanding in the world.
When Qin Sang and others landed, they saw the white-robed young man's chest rising and falling slightly, his eyelids trembling slightly and then slowly opening.
The white-robed young man woke up and saw the stranger standing next to him. He was shocked and suddenly jumped up from the ground, subconsciously raising the spiritual sword in his hand.
'call!'
The cold wind picked up the spiritual sword and blocked it in front of the man in white robe, the tip of the sword trembling slightly.
But before the spirit sword could emit its sword energy, a stream of fire struck down hard, easily dispersing the cold wind, and slapped the spirit sword to the ground.
"Hey! Boy, it was this divine bird who saved you, but you dare to draw your sword against me!"
Zhuque stared at the white-robed young man, very dissatisfied, and shouted loudly.
'puff!'
The young man in white robe was already injured, but he was interrupted by Suzaku when he tried to move the sword. The energy and blood in his body suddenly became chaotic, adding to the injuries.
Wiping away the blood from his mouth, he looked at Jiang Xin and the Xuanbing fragments at his feet. He finally recognized the situation, suppressed his injuries, and saluted, "Thank you all for saving me. I am deeply grateful."
Qin Sang's face now was completely different from that in Yunding City, so naturally he couldn't recognize him.
"Seeing how miserable you are, I am too lazy to argue with you," Suzaku said with satisfaction, "Who beat you like this?"
The young man in white robe hesitated for a moment and looked at Qin Sang and the others.
There are birds and horses, old and young, it looks like a family out for fun.
Although the divine bird can speak human words, it is not necessarily a great demon in the transformation stage. In addition to the emperor's liquid, there are also secret elixirs in the world that can assist demon beasts in refining their bones.
"You must not be practicing nearby, right? I was rescued by you, so I should know everything. But my enemy is powerful and acts ruthlessly, so I'm afraid it will implicate you."
Suzaku sneered.
Qin Sang was not interested in understanding his grudges. Although they were old friends, it was just a transaction.
"In the frontier, has anything big happened recently?"
"event?"
The white-robed young man nodded, "There is indeed a strange incident that caused quite a commotion. I don't know if it is a big deal or not. Not long ago, there was a sudden thunder, which is said to have shaken the three states, Yin, Lu, and Nanshu.
I heard that the sky was clear in the three states at that time. The thunderbolt was definitely not thunder. What was even weirder was that no one could tell the source of the thunder. Later, there were rumors that the thunder was an omen.
A rare treasure will be born, and many practitioners have entered the three states to search for treasures. No one has found the rare treasures so far, but the rumors are getting stronger..."
"When did the thunder sound?"
Qin Sang's heart moved and he asked quickly.
Taiyi also thought of it, excitement flashed in his eyes.
If the time of the thunder can be matched with the time when Qin Sang activated the three thunder altars, it is likely that the three sub-altars echoed the main altar, causing the strange phenomenon.
This shows that the main altar was not destroyed!
The young man in white robe was also in Sanzhou that day and heard the thunder with his own ears, which is still fresh in his memory.
After asking, it turned out to be the same day!
It was indeed a bright future. Qin Sang nodded secretly. He was confident that the main altar was still there, and he felt confident in searching for it.
When it doesn't work, let Taiyi go back and activate the branch altar. He will stay here to listen to the thunder. If he listens a few more times, he will definitely find out the clues.
"Hurry up!"
Suzaku couldn't wait. He was curious about everything, and this matter was no exception.
If Lei Tan can make Qin Sang reach the sky in one step, and having the power of the Mahayana in one body, what do Yun Dutian and Luohunyuan mean?
It can walk sideways, it can be a boss wherever it goes, and it can bully anyone it wants!
Everyone nodded to the white-robed young man and immediately took up the Escape Light and flew away through the air.
"etc……"
The young man in white robe did not expect these people to act so vigorously and was stunned as he looked at the retreating light in the distance.
He hasn't had time to ask these people about their identities, how can he repay them in the future?
Thinking of this, he realized that he had even forgotten to declare his home address, and the other party did not know his name.
Meeting by chance is like a dream.
The young man in white robe was silent, thinking of the hatred he carried, and murmured: "That's fine... that's fine."
He took out the elixir, swallowed it, and escaped into the mountains.
…
"No wonder I haven't seen Jiang Shen, and the soldiers of the government are probably hunting for treasures..."
The crowd flew along the river and entered Yinzhou, one of the three states.
After entering Yinzhou, Qin Sang quickly sensed the aura of practitioners, whether they were Shinto or Immortal, they were searching for something everywhere.
He showed up and contacted some people and used spiritual stones to buy information. As the young man in white robe said, no one could tell the source of the thunder.
Everyone was like headless flies. If the thunder hadn't really happened, many people would have given up long ago.
After some exploration, Qin Sang learned about the nearby terrain.
When Taiyi came, there was no such division into the three states of Yin, Lu, and Nanshu.
Among them, Yinzhou and Luzhou are located on the west and east along the Pingjiang River. The river passes through a state, and the capitals of the two states are built on the banks of the river.
The two states occupy an advantageous geographical location and are one of the richest state capitals in Yan State, second only to the capital.
The territory of Nanshu Prefecture is the widest among the three prefectures, but it is the most barren. The territory is mountainous, and the south of Nanshu Prefecture is the border of Yan State, where frictions and wars occur from time to time.
All forces concluded that the most likely place for the treasure to be found was at the junction of the three states.
It is the most lively place now, with people from all walks of life gathering and a mixture of good and bad.
However, Qin Sang was in no hurry to join in the fun, as these people could not provide any more useful information.
The area he deduced from the three thunder altars was within Nanshu Prefecture, but the scope was indeed quite large, covering most of Nanshu Prefecture.
It passes through Yinzhou and cuts diagonally into Nanshuzhou.
Qin Sang ordered Suzaku to fly at low altitude and sit on Suzaku's back. Taiyi and others protected him and searched carefully.
This search lasted for three months and found nothing.
"Is the main altar in a sealed state?"
Qin Sang thought to himself.
The main forum was able to respond, but the sub-forums could not sense it, and even after the silence, no energy leaked out.
If the main altar is sealed, the seal must not be weak. It seems that Taiyi must make a trip.
Qin Sang drew three thunder talismans and asked Taiyi to bring them, which can be regarded as the 'key' to the thunder altar.
Taiyi's cultivation level is a bit poor, but since he is the spirit of the Thunder Talisman, he only needs to activate three sub-altars without triggering more changes, and he can still do it.
Zhuque and Taiyi went together.
After they left, Qin Sang landed on a mountain in the middle of Nanshu Prefecture and waited quietly.
…
The junction of three states.
The passion for treasure hunting has not faded.
The Xianzong family and the city god of the state capital gathered here, almost destroying the area by three feet.
What can drive so many practitioners crazy is not just a sound of thunder.
There is also the throbbing that comes from the depths of the soul when hearing the thunder.
That kind of throbbing is fleeting and ordinary people will ignore it, but practitioners will not. The higher the cultivation level, the more clearly it means.
The search area gradually expanded from the junction of the three states.
Qin Sang watched with cold eyes the rays of light flying across the sky, waiting for the thunder to appear.
"In the first three levels of Qi refining stage, although we only need to consider accumulating true energy, we also need to think about the essence of the techniques..."
Yu Lang sat cross-legged in front of Qin Sang and listened carefully to his master's sermon.
During this time, he had entered Taoism and cultivated his first ray of spiritual power.
Qin Sang won't talk in depth, but he won't be too straightforward either, giving his disciples room to think.
Feeling the spiritual power running in his body, bringing him great vitality, Yulang suddenly asked a question, "Master, are true energy and spiritual power different?"
When he was young, his father taught him martial arts. He once said that those who have cultivated Zhenqi can be called a first-class martial artist, and those who have developed innate skills can be called a peerless master.
From then on, he set his sights on cultivating true energy.
Now being led to the path of immortality by his master, he learned that the so-called innate masters could kill monks in the Qi refining stage, but that was all.
If a monk in the Qi refining stage is proficient in some powerful and strange spells and uses magic weapons, the innate master will have little power to resist them.
Not to mention the stronger foundation building, golden elixir.
Is it true that innateness is the limit of martial arts, and warriors are destined to be unable to compare with immortal cultivators?
"True energy is the essence of a warrior's energy and blood, as well as the warrior's tenacious mind. A monk absorbs the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to cultivate spiritual power, but it will also blend with his own essence."
Qin Sang also practiced martial arts and failed to develop true energy, but he also thought about this problem.
The higher the level of practicing "Tian Yao Shape", the deeper the understanding will be.
Qin Sang had a feeling that there was more than one way to go with strength.
For example, "Celestial Demon Form Refining" is probably not a pure body training. The two most important functions of this technique are to cultivate the physical form and to temper the power of blood.
Neither of these two seems to be purely about strengthening the body.
Qin Sang's Dharma has not yet been completed. There are only some guesses, but we are not sure yet.
If you practice the way of Dharma to the extreme, will you simply give up your physical body, take away all the energy and spirit in your body, integrate it into the Dharma, and reshape your body?
Pure physical training should be about constantly exploring the potential of the body, tempering the body, and reaching the peak step by step. The body is the strongest weapon, and you will never abandon it no matter what.
Warriors are obviously different from pure physical practitioners.
If you follow the path of martial arts, will there be another bright future?
"There are three thousand avenues, but there is no small path. Martial arts may not have no way forward. Maybe no one can get out of it yet..."
Qin Sang paused, "Maybe there are people who have stood at the pinnacle of martial arts for a long time, but we haven't seen them yet, and I haven't seen the real world yet."
"The pinnacle of martial arts."
Yulang was thoughtful.
Suddenly, Qin Sang stood up and stared southward with bright eyes.
Seeing this, Yulang knew that he had to get down to business. He quickly put away his thoughts and followed his master's line of sight, but he felt nothing and heard no thunder.
"Xiaowu, let's go, Luohou, you guys will follow."
Qin Sang led Xiao Wu, stepped out, and disappeared.
He mobilized his body and galloped towards the south.
Although there was no thunder, he sensed an extremely obscure fluctuation. If he had not personally repaired three thunder altars, he would probably have ignored it.
Obviously, Taiyi and Suzaku have activated three sub-altars.
In the blink of an eye, he flew over countless mountains and rivers, and Qin Sang discovered that this fluctuation was gradually accumulating.
The thunder must have accumulated to its peak and exploded.
At first, after Qin Sang activated the three sub-altars, he activated them for a long time in order to understand them carefully.
The fluctuations are becoming clearer and clearer.
Finally, Qin Sang arrived nearby, and the first thing he saw was a city. The source of the fluctuation was in a mountain less than a hundred miles outside the city.
‘Whoosh!’
Qin Sang fell from the sky and landed on the mountain. His eyes turned and immediately locked onto a Taoist temple in the front mountain.
The Taoist temple is extremely dilapidated. The courtyard walls have collapsed, weeds have grown out of the cracks in the tiles, and there are several holes in the roof of the front hall. It has lost popularity and incense for a long time.
The fluctuations originate from the underground of the Taoist temple.
Qin Sang's eyes were slightly closed, his consciousness penetrated into the ground, and he quickly smiled.
"There is indeed a seal!"
The seal and the Thunder Altar have the same origin, and it was probably left by the owner of the Thunder Altar. It is unknown who it was for protection.
Qin Sang used the earth escape technique, escaped underground, touched the edge of the seal, and after some fumbling, he came up with a way to break the seal.
Use your finger as a pen to draw on the surface of the seal, and finally press it firmly with your palm.
'puff!'
The seal breaks.
The fluctuations accumulated in the seal suddenly burst out.
'boom!'
The creatures within the three states once again heard a thunderbolt from the blue.
This thunderous sound not only came from inside the seal, but the altar in the seal seemed to make the heaven and earth resonate with it!
