Regarding Xinxing, there should be mysterious phenomena and supernatural powers, but Wang Xuan and Qin Cheng have limited knowledge.
The main reason is that there is information asymmetry. They live in the old land and it is difficult to obtain the most cutting-edge secrets.
As for the Immortals, they are even more elusive.
Wang Xuan believes that a long time ago, there was a group of people who either practiced Qi collection techniques or focused on meditation to regulate their body and spirit, and gained strength far beyond that of ordinary people.
His speculation can be corroborated with some ancient books.
Wang Xuan saw similar records in the "Huangdi Neijing": Ancient people's methods were based on yin and yang, and they were combined with magic numbers, so they were able to combine form and spirit.
In ancient times, if a stranger appeared in the mountains and swamps with one arm crouching on a tiger, he would most likely be revered and worshiped by the ancestors.
As time goes by, the stories spread may become "out of shape" and gradually become myths.
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that there were extremely strong individuals among the ancients who practiced meditation to the highest level and cultivated their bodies internally, thus gaining incredible power.
For example, there are a few cases recorded in ancient books where the alchemist was extremely strong in body and spirit and could throw elephants with one hand.
Wang Xuan feels that if he practices the old skills to the end, it is possible to achieve this step."
When personal power reaches this level, what does it mean to the ancients? That is the embodiment of myth.
Wang Xuan believes that there have never been immortals and Buddhas, but only a group of people who were once very powerful.
Therefore, in the field of old arts, he is not superstitious, but continues to explore along the footsteps of his predecessors, and wants to verify this path himself.
After Wang Xuan told his guess, he made some additions.
"It is unknown whether any of the deified people will continue to improve and reach a level of strength that we don't understand. After all, the old technique is now in decline and has long since declined."
Perhaps the Immortals are the improved embodiments of those legendary strangers and alchemists?
Wang Xuan believes that they are just a few and special individuals among human beings.
Long years have passed, and neither myths nor immortals have left any trace.
Professor Lin smiled at Wang Xuan and said: "According to your guess, immortals and Buddhas are also human beings, so all immortals and Buddhas have disappeared."
Wang Xuan nodded: "As long as they are human beings, their fate has already been determined and they will all perish."
Qin Cheng was fascinated by what he heard and was very interested. Then, he felt it was a pity and said: "If those extremely powerful individuals among ancient humans lived to this era, with the help of high technology, they could reach out to the supernatural power that existed in Xinxing.
, is it possible to extend one's life, or even have the hope of immortality as the chaebol desires?"
"In the past dynasties, whether they were wealthy people or powerful people, they have been diligently pursuing it after reaching a corresponding height, and their ambition for immortality has never changed."
Professor Lin was inspired because he had personal contact with some people who are now promoting these studies and investing a lot of money.
"If you want to study old skills, I won't stop you. I have something here to give you." Professor Lin stood up and took down some papers from the bookshelf.
He was very serious and handed it to Wang Xuan and asked him to put it away.
Qin Cheng was immediately curious and leaned over to take a look.
Professor Lin glanced at him and said: "If you want to learn, I won't stop you, but practicing this kind of thing requires an extremely solid foundation. You have to work hard, otherwise, you may have very serious problems and your life will be affected."
damage."
Professor Lin made it clear that if you have not yet completed Qi collection, you will not be able to nourish your body internally, so you cannot touch this thing.
When Qin Cheng heard this, his face suddenly fell.
When Wang Xuan heard this, he immediately understood that this should be some kind of very powerful "root method".
Internal nourishment, Qi collection, meditation, etc. can fundamentally change a person's physique and spirit, which is called the root in old techniques.
Although physical skills and so on are gorgeous and vital in actual combat, they need to be based on root skills.
"I deciphered the things recorded in the pile of bamboo slips in the photo and recorded them on these papers." Professor Lin informed the origin of Genfa.
The things recorded on the paper actually came from the tombs of the Pre-Qin Dynasty.
Wang Xuan was deeply surprised. This was truly an ancient method. It was so old.
During that period, it was not easy to preserve especially the bamboo slips.
The bamboo slips had already rotted away before the ancient tomb was opened.
Even if it is not rotten, at the moment it is opened, due to drastic changes in the internal and external environment, 90% of the bamboo slips will be destroyed, let alone leaving any written records.
Professor Lin said: "Nowadays, technology is becoming more and more advanced, and some good things left over from ancient times can be quickly processed and preserved the moment they are unearthed."
Qin Cheng thought for a while and asked: "Thousands of years have passed two or three years ago. Are these records still useful? Are they outdated?"
Professor Lin nodded: "What you said makes sense. Times are always moving forward, but the records on this pile of bamboo slips are of great value. After all, some extremely powerful alchemists appeared during that period, and the root methods of the same era are not too bad.
."
Moreover, Professor Lin clearly informed that this method has been verified and is a good thing, even very remarkable.
After Wang Xuan listened, he put it away solemnly.
Professor Lin continued: "After the old art experimental class is disbanded, you will face two problems. One is that there is no medicinal diet prepared with rare ingredients, and the other is the lack of more profound old art scriptures."
Regarding the former, Chu Feng has already realized that it is a problem, but regarding the latter - the old skills, he has learned a lot, and they all have a good background, such as the original books in the museum, the rare collections of the plutocrats, etc. Is there anything better than these?
Something more amazing?
Professor Lin told him that the teaching materials in the experimental class were indeed very good and came from extraordinary sources, but they were only part of the records in their respective rare secret books, and what he learned was incomplete.
Even Professor Lin didn't have the chance to see those subsequent chapters.
"Because those things are very precious, they only gave you the first part of the root method. If someone really masters them all, someone will naturally send you the follow-up method."
But unfortunately, the experimental class was disbanded and the old technique research project was abandoned, so there was no follow-up root method.
Qin Cheng smiled and said: "The root method recorded on this bamboo slip can help Wang Xuan solve a problem he faced. If one day he becomes a powerful alchemist in modern times, it would be interesting and worth looking forward to."
"If he really digs into it thoroughly and masters it, maybe he will also solve another problem, and he will no longer need rare ingredients and medicinal diet to practice the technique."
Professor Lin's words surprised Wang Xuan.
What does this mean? The root method recorded on the bamboo slips is extremely mysterious and amazing!
"So powerful?" Qin Cheng was surprised.
"Of course, the things left by those alchemists are not simple. The old arts of that period were quite brilliant, and the search for elixirs of longevity were all related to the alchemists.
Professor Lin informed that at a certain period of time, Xinxing's chaebols spent a lot of manpower and money to search for ancient tombs in the old land, hoping to excavate things related to the alchemists.
Nowadays, many tombs of past dynasties under the old land have been rummaged through, and few fish have slipped through the net.
"So, even if you want to take the old path, you have to go to Xinxing, because many precious classics, secret techniques, etc., and rare scriptures from the past are no longer in the old land."
Qin Cheng muttered dissatisfied: "Do some people in the chaebol have some special collecting habit? What is the use of so many old techniques?"
"It is naturally useful. After verification, the old techniques have been analyzed and applied by some life research institutes. In the biological field, some modern results have been developed in a targeted manner, which can delay the aging of some old people."
Professor Lin told many secrets.
In fact, many good things have been unearthed from ancient tombs. For example, someone once unearthed a golden bamboo slip. It is a special kind of bamboo that has not decayed over time and is still as hard as iron.
However, this plant has long since disappeared in the old soil, and the existence of this type of plant was not known before it was dug up.
It is conceivable that the things recorded on such bamboo slips are absolutely extraordinary and must be extremely extraordinary.
But it is a pity that after such things are obtained by those organizations, research institutes, and plutocrats, they are kept secret and difficult for outsiders to see.
At a certain period of time, those chaebols and various types of organizations spent a lot of money searching for this kind of thing in the old land all year round.
Professor Lin unbuttoned his shirt, revealing old wounds on his body. There were two scars as big as fists on his chest next to his heart.
It seems that some external force penetrated his body back then, and it still looks terrible now.
"Back then, because of the bamboo slips in the photo, I was injured one after another, all fatal injuries. One place was punched through by someone with a fist, and the other was shot through by someone with a modern weapon."
It is precisely because of this that Professor Lin, a former master of the old arts, can no longer fight in actual combat. It is a miracle that he survived afterwards.
It can be seen how fiercely the major organizations and chaebols fought for such things.
Seeing Wang Xuan now, Professor Lin seemed to see himself in his younger days, with a strong desire to explore old techniques. Unfortunately, his own path had long been cut off.
Wang Xuan comforted him that new medicines might appear in the future that could solve Professor Lin's physical problems.
"At such an old age, I have already let go of what I should have let go of." Professor Lin shook his head.
Qin Cheng said: "So, even if Wang Xuan wants to follow the path of old skills, he still needs to go to Xinxing. All the good things have been looted by people over there."
Professor Lin was very serious: "More than that, the key is that the discovery there may have far-reaching impact, and may even trigger some changes in the future."
"What I said are all my own speculations. They are not information obtained from inside the research institute or some organization, so there is no need to keep it confidential."
The mysterious phenomena and supernatural powers reported in Xinxing are related to some items.
Moreover, there were actually clues about these rumors and news decades ago, but it was only in recent years that some true facts were gradually revealed.
Regarding those secrets, there seems to be a breakthrough.
Otherwise, the old art projects here will not be abandoned.
"So, it's a rare opportunity. Now that Xinxing seems to have found another way, the rare bamboo slips and various root methods collected by the chaebol may be spread out and no longer taken seriously. They are far easier to obtain than in the past!"
When Wang Xuan heard this, his heart skipped a beat. He really wanted to go to Xinxing, far more eagerly than before.
Until now, Qin Cheng is still very dissatisfied: "What kind of path did Xinxing find to abandon the old skills and us? They simply abandoned us like worn out shoes and ruthlessly eliminated us and gave up."
"It's probably more than just one path." Professor Lin said about his feelings.
In recent decades, some rare new species have appeared on the new star, such as a certain small tree called "Anshen", which is white in color and has fragrant leaves. It can nourish the mind and soul. Eating a few leaves every day has anti-aging effects.
.
It is said that this exorbitantly priced small tree was discovered in the wilderness during the development of Xinxing.
Similarly, there are other plants, herbs, and special small creatures.
Professor Lin was a master of ancient arts in those days. In his early years, he traveled alone through the mountains and rivers of Xinxing and never discovered those species at all.
"I suspect that what they discovered is not just a road, but they may have discovered another planet with life, perhaps involving the supernatural."
This is undoubtedly astonishing. Xinxing seems to have discovered it a long time ago and explored such a place very early, but it was hidden from the general public for many years.
Professor Lin added: "In the past few years, they have probably run into trouble, and they have only made progress in recent years. But I feel that no matter what they discover, it is not realistic for them to immediately obtain supernatural powers."
One thing Professor Lin emphasized in particular was that if a new world was really released, the herbs, various resources, extraordinary items, etc. there would definitely be of great help to the old techniques.
He looked down at the woman in the photo album, hesitating a little whether to meet this old friend and get a spot for Wang Xuan.
The new book has just started to be uploaded and I encountered Shura Field. It is actually four times the monthly ticket time. I also ask all book friends to vote for it. Thank you. Thank you.
