Cardinal enthusiastically tried to use his internal force to open the eight-treasure box, but after several attempts, the eight-treasure box still did not move at all.
"What kind of crap is this? I don't believe it can't even be burned by my Incinerator!"
In desperation, Hongque took out a fire-burning technique with one hand and prepared to use the flame knife to split the eight-treasure box.
"Do you want to burn the contents inside too?"
Yang Xuan was particularly speechless about this girl. If this flame knife were hit, the box of eight treasures would definitely be burned, but since then, the contents inside must not be burned to ashes by the high-temperature flames?
With that said, Yang Xuan took the Eight Treasures Box from Hongque and weighed it in his hand. He found that although the material of the Eight Treasures Box was extremely hard, it was very light and very suitable for carrying around.
Then Yang Xuan began to try to use his internal force to shake it open. He used 30% of his internal force at first, and then directly increased it to 50%. The eight treasure box still did not move at all.
"I didn't expect this thing to be stronger than I thought."
Yang Xuan sighed, then shook his arm, condensing 70% of his internal strength into a single palm, and then struck hard at the Eight Treasures Box.
There was just a cracking sound, and a crack was finally made in the extremely sturdy box of eight treasures. Yang Xuan grabbed both ends of the box and broke it with force, finally breaking the extremely strong box of eight treasures into two pieces from the middle.
.
What came out was something wrapped in butter paper. It was square and looked like a book.
"Let me see what treasure is inside!"
Cardinal hurriedly opened the butter paper and found that inside was a thin, dark yellow thread-bound scroll.
"What is this, a martial arts secret book?"
Hongque opened the remaining scroll with confusion and muttered, "But that's not right. Who would rob tombs and carry martial arts secrets with them?"
After unfolding the fragment, some densely packed strange symbols appeared inside, which looked like some kind of special writing.
"What is this?"
Yang Xuan frowned slightly. He was familiar with the languages of most countries in the world and many minority languages. He even knew a little bit of Sanskrit.
But Yang Xuan had never seen the dense symbols on this fragment.
After gazing at these densely packed symbols, Hongque exclaimed in shock, "It turns out to be Whispering Text!"
"Bishawen?"
Yang Xuan said doubtfully, "I have heard someone mention that there was a Whirling civilization in ancient times. It is said that the Whirling people respected martial arts and were naturally fierce."
"After conquering many different tribes, they established their own unique Whirling Civilization."
"It's just that this civilization existed for a very short time, and it suddenly disappeared before even a hundred years."
"But no one knows why the Whispering Civilization suddenly disappeared. There are currently two main theories."
"One type moved to other places, and the other type was exterminated during the war."
"But I feel that neither theory can stand up to scrutiny. They finally established their own civilization, so why would they migrate suddenly?"
"And even if they migrate, their descendants will be found later, and after they migrate, they can't destroy the civilization sites they established together, right?"
"As for the second theory, that the Posuo tribe was wiped out due to war, this is even more ridiculous."
"The Posu tribe is a nation that respects martial arts. They are all born with magical powers. They have been martial practitioners since they were born, and they have powerful martial arts."
"It is absolutely impossible for such a powerful nation to leave no traces even if it is defeated."
"And it is said that they disappeared very suddenly, without any transition at all. In just two or three days, it was as if they had disappeared from the world."
"Based on the combat power of the Posu tribe at that time, which civilization could wipe out all the Posu tribe in two or three days?"
"So both of these speculations are unreasonable, and the sudden disappearance of the whirling civilization has become an unsolved mystery."
After listening, Cardinal nodded and said, "What you said is roughly consistent with what I know about the Whirling Civilization. The disappearance of the Whirling Civilization is indeed an unsolved mystery."
"But now the mystery seems to be solved."
Hongque pointed at the fragment of a book with densely written text and said.
Yang Xuan asked doubtfully, "Do you recognize the writing on it?"
Cardinal nodded and said, "The Whispering Civilization was famous for its martial arts at that time. They created many secret techniques and techniques with great lethality."
"The Burning Fire Technique that I practice is modified from a few pages of a technique from the Whispering Civilization."
"Not only the Burning Fire Technique, but most of the exercises in our Red Clothes Sect are related to the Whirling Civilization."
"My godfather once said that the Red Sect can only exist in this world thanks to the whirling civilization in ancient times."
"Back then, our Grandmaster of the Red Clothes Sect, the Great Emperor, accidentally obtained some burned fragments of the Whirling Civilization's secret manuals."
"Although these fragments are just the tip of the iceberg of the Whirling Technique, our founding emperor deciphered the Whirling Technique through various methods, and learned many new techniques from these Whirling Technique."
"It is these exercises that have made the Red Clothes Sect possible, and it is because of these exercises that the Red Clothes Sect has grown from strength to strength until it reaches today's scale."
"So before I practice the Burning Fire Art, I have to learn the Whispering character, so I know all these characters."
Hongque pointed at the thread-bound fragment and said, "The words on this thread-bound fragment should be left behind by the Whirling Civilization. It records the reasons for their disappearance."
"The above mentioned their brutality and killing. They treated prisoners of war and surrounding tribesmen like animals."
"One day, an old man dressed strangely came outside and said that he knew the secret of a huge treasure and wanted to tell King Posuo."
"So the old man was brought to King Posuo. The greedy Posuowan couldn't wait to ask the old man the secret of the treasure."
"But the old man said that the treasure is in the hearts of his people, and if they put down their butcher knives with all their heart and repent for the mistakes they have made, they can avoid disaster."
"If you continue to persist in your stubbornness, you will definitely be punished by God and suffer the catastrophe of annihilation."
"After hearing this, King Posuo became furious and ordered the old man to be burned alive."
"But during the burning process, the old man's body suddenly turned into a golden light and shot straight into the sky."
"Three days later, a crimson red cloud suddenly floated over the country, and thousands of thunders shot out from the red cloud."
"The entire whirling civilization was instantly destroyed by thousands of thunders."
"Since then, the Whispering Civilization has completely disappeared from this world, leaving only a few traces, including the fragments of the exercises that were not burned clean by the thunder, which were found and taken out by later generations. "
"If what is recorded here is true, this is not an emperor's tomb at all, but the ruins of the Whirling Civilization!"
