In the study, Zhang Yu had been meditating and regulating his breath since he came back, and the source energy present in the three packets of medicinal bones was slowly absorbed into his body.
But at this moment, he suddenly noticed something strange.
The heat flow does not just come to you, but part of it flows to another place.
Because the flow here is very small, if it weren't for this secluded study, it might not be possible to discover this matter.
He reached into his pocket and took out the small golden ring he picked up from the ruins.
It's this thing that is competing with him for source energy.
He thought about it and decided to try to figure out what this thing was.
He stood up, selected a few bone fragments that contained more energy from the medicinal bones, and put them in his pocket. After walking out of the study, he looked after Li Qinghe and walked out.
Just as he stepped out of the door, a golden shadow flashed, and the little ocelot jumped out, came to his feet, raised his head, and meowed at him.
He looked down and said, "Then just follow me."
As he walked along this time, there were quite a few people who took the initiative to say hello to him. Except for people who were familiar with him, everyone else obviously knew that he had successfully returned from his mission and had a promising future, so they became very friendly.
Some of them were attracted by the little leopard cat, but it was a spiritual creature after all. Except for its owner, or people like Li Qinghe who would be responsible for taking care of its life in the future, mortals would not pay much attention to it.
Not long after, Zhang Yu arrived at Xuanwen Hall. When he entered the lobby, the assistants on both sides saluted him and said, "Master Zhang is here."
The little leopard cat also followed in at this time, but no one seemed to have seen it. This is an innate ability of it as a spiritual creature. When it actively hides its body, few creatures can detect it.
's deeds.
Zhang Yu originally planned to say hello to Qu Gong, but after asking, he found out that the latter seemed to have something to do and left in a hurry, so he gave up.
This time he went directly to the fourth floor of the Wenxuan Hall, which is where the old books are stored. In the past, as his assistant teacher, he could not come here. Now that he has been transferred to Xuezheng, he has been let go.
After entering this floor, he found that there were indeed many ancient books that had been properly collected, but many of them had not been sorted out and were still in the same state as when they were obtained, covered with mud and filth.
In fact, except for teachers who specialize in ancient natural history, ancient continental mysticism, etc., few people usually come here. The entire hall is empty and silent, full of dusty smell, as if walking into an ancient tomb.
After a brief glance, he asked his assistant to make a cup of tea, then sat down in a separate quiet room and carefully looked through the index compiled by the teacher before.
Regarding this golden ring, he actually had some speculations in his mind, and now he just wanted to get some verification.
The collection here is indeed rich. It didn't take long for him to find a clue and asked his assistant to move stacks of bark books over. He put on his gloves and carefully turned over these fragile old books.
After some detailed verification and comparison, he finally determined the origin of this thing.
This should be the sealing gold used in the gold sealing ceremony of the gods.
The so-called gold sealing ceremony is a ostentatious act performed by a god or a group of gods after defeating their opponent and severing all their beliefs.
Gold represents eternity and light, and this ceremony is to end and bury it all.
At the end of the gold-sealing ceremony, this thing called a "swallowing ring" is dropped to end the whole process.
It's just that the origin of this thing is unknown. Among the records left behind, some say it was created by the joint efforts of the gods, some are said to be presented by the strange races below, and some are said to be asked by the gods from the "supreme".
What's interesting is that this behavior is not only prevalent among the mainland's indigenous gods, but also among the Yidi people. There are many similar records, and I don't know who influenced whom.
He took out the gold ring from his pocket. The gold ring dragged a gold chain, with a snake's head and tail at its top and end respectively.
He picked up the snake's tail, circled it around the golden ring, and slowly leaned toward the snake's head, trying to pick it up.
He had done this before, but failed.
And he felt that it should be feasible this time.
Because many of these ancient artifacts involving gods are not only on the material level, but also on the spiritual level. Therefore, it requires the integration of body and mind, that is, understanding its origin and function, in order to truly come into contact with its origin.
The moment he touched the two ends of the chain, there was a slight click, and the snake head had swallowed its tail into its mouth.
And just after this action ended, something seemed to have been activated. A ray of light flowed over the golden ring, and then he suddenly felt a stream of heat slowly drifting towards his body.
It just felt quite forced and seemed a little reluctant.
He changed his mind and tried to untie the snake's head and tail again with a strong hand. After another soft sound, he found that the source energy no longer flowed out, and it still seemed to be solidified on it as before.
And the source energy on the bone fragments he carried was constantly being absorbed by them.
I see.
He nodded. Once the golden ring chain was broken, it meant unilateral severance and claim, symbolizing engulfment and death. Therefore, not only could the source energy carried on it not be absorbed by him, but it would also compete with him for source energy.
Once the chain is connected, it represents communication and integration, symbolizes life and flow, and shares the source energy it carries with him to a limited extent.
When this golden ring was in the ruins, it was probably absorbing source energy.
No wonder he felt that the source energy contained in that ruins was so rare. Logically speaking, this kind of place where the remains of aberrations have been worshiped for generations and ancient statues of gods are buried, should not only have the little discovered before.
He originally thought that more items containing source energy were buried deeper, but now it seems that most of them are likely to be absorbed by this thing.
In other words, it contained more source energy than he imagined.
He felt slightly excited. Although from the current point of view, it is not easy to obtain source energy from this golden ring, which requires gradual accumulation little by little, this thing is better than providing him with divine energy for a long time.
However, he considered that there were two Taoist chapters to watch and read, and it might not be possible to divide them up like this, so it was necessary to look for such items in other places, but it was not so urgent in a short time.
After understanding this matter, he felt a lot more relieved. Then his mind changed. Since he had already come, he would simply check what the writing on the gold plate was about.
Since the Tianxia people first settled on those overseas islands after arriving in the Protectorate, and these places were originally the places where the Yidi people once lived, so the things of the Yidi people have been preserved very much and are relatively complete.
Some.
When he first studied ancient natural history, the civilization of the Yidi people was also one of the larger categories. In the library of Wenxuantang, almost all the excavated documents of the Yidi people are preserved, and many of them are precious originals.
After searching for almost an afternoon, he finally made a discovery.
What is very interesting is that the words on this gold plate are actually related to the legendary "Supreme". They were things that the ancient Yidi priests unconsciously traced when worshiping the Supreme.
What exactly is the Supreme? Scholars in the Protectorate have not yet come to an accurate conclusion.
This may be the highest god of these groups of gods, but it may also be just a concept, or it may be what the indigenous people on this continent believe to be an unpredictable thing that transcends everything and cannot be spied upon.
The Yidi people believe that these words are the key to unlocking deep secrets, through which they can master part of the supreme power.
There is no doubt that this thing has a close connection with the Yidi people, so it is not difficult to guess the origins of the barbarians who attacked him in the wilderness.
Zhang Yu saw this. Although he still had many unanswered questions, he had a rough idea in his mind. After quietly drinking a cup of tea, he stood up and went out.
But as he walked out, he noticed that many people nearby were whispering, talking about Qiu Xueling and the Zhan family.
In the eyes of many people, these two things that were published in the newspapers one after another were really exciting. You exposed your weaknesses, and I exposed your weaknesses. It was a big show.
Obviously, everyone thought that the unknown article exposing Qiu Xueling was written by Duke Zhan. After all, it was so long ago that only people like Duke Zhan who lived for more than a hundred years and sent his son to study under him knew it.
, how could others know?
This is very reasonable.
In short, these people are all despicable and morally corrupt!
Zhang Yu stood on the steps, looking at the blue sky above, where thin white clouds slowly moved in, but were soon carried away by the inadvertent breeze.
The little ocelot came over and squatted at his feet.
Zhang Yu glanced at it and said, "I'm going back." He flicked his sleeves, stepped forward, and walked forward.
