"Monster?" Shen Qian frowned, "What kind of weird method?"
"He is not a pure human being." Shi Dingyan spit out four words.
"Not a pure person?"
Shen Qian was a little stunned when he heard this, "What is that?"
"You have to understand that before the spiritual energy was revived and the human race popularized martial arts on a large scale, it went through a difficult time."
Shi Dingyan recalled the past and said with emotion: "It seems that modern human civilization has begun to rebuild more than two hundred years ago, but in fact it was only more than a hundred years ago when everything really settled."
"The ten gates are open?"
Shen Qian has been particularly keen on history lessons recently. When he heard about it more than a hundred years ago, he couldn't help but think of another thing that was not recorded in normal textbooks.
One hundred and twelve years ago, seven stars connected and ten doors opened, and the human race fell into a great crisis.
According to Qu Bai, Zhulong only appeared in human vision from that time.
"Well, probably after that."
Shi Dingyan nodded, "Before that, martial arts was not what it is today. There were many schools, not only the ancient martial arts family was active, but also ancient schools, Taoism and Buddhism were mixed. In short, at that time, even the physical body was built first before the spirit was built. There are huge controversies..."
"What is the cause of the confusion?"
Academic chaos was mentioned in the textbook, but it was too specific and there was no description. Shen Qian couldn't help but wonder after hearing the words.
"Then we have to start with the recovery of spiritual energy. Junior brother, have you ever thought about it. At the beginning of the recovery of spiritual energy, there were not many warriors on the earth. Even if there were some reclusive people, but spiritual energy like this on earth In an environment of scarcity, the state of mind cannot be much higher..."
"How did the earth survive the initial crisis at that time?"
Shi Dingyan waved his hand and asked Shen Qian to sit down by the river. He opened a can of wine and poured a glass for each of them.
Shen Qian glanced at Shi Dingyan in surprise.
Why did the third senior brother become addicted to alcohol? It can be said that he did it occasionally on the rooftop that night, but his subconscious behavior today only shows that the third senior brother has been drinking recently.
However, Shen Qian didn't ask any more questions, he just thought about Shi Dingyan's question.
Today, Shen Qian can already see the essence through the few words in the textbook.
The revival of spiritual energy actually happened after the mysterious comet passed by the earth, or in other words, when the earth was originally unable to produce spiritual energy, there was a dimensional collapse, that is, the emergence of the "door", and then the spiritual energy was revived.
Then here comes the problem.
The emergence of the "door" meant the invasion of alien creatures. How could the earth, which had almost no warriors at that time, resist it?
"Hot weapons?"
After Shen Qian thought about it, this answer seemed to be the only one that seemed more reliable.
"That's a small part of the answers right."
Shi Dingyan didn't seem surprised by Shen Qian's answer. He nodded slightly and said, "For most carbon-based organisms, thermal weapons are a relatively effective method, not to mention that humans also used destructive nuclear weapons at that time..."
"Well, the restricted area will become like this later, which is directly related to this."
"But for creatures of a certain level, this may not be easy." Shen Qian continued thoughtfully.
Take Shen Qian’s current state and the AK47, the king of rifles before the disaster, as examples.
AK47 can probably penetrate a 6mm steel plate within a range of 100 meters, and Shen Qian's anti-blow ability, if all BUFF bonuses are turned on, can withstand a full-force blow from the fourth level of the mountains and seas without being hurt.
The instantaneous explosive force of the fourth level of mountains and seas is at least tens of thousands of kilograms. Not to mention a 6mm steel plate, even a 6-meter steel plate will have to tear out a big hole.
If calculated in this way, it means that Shen Qian can walk in the hail of bullets from the AK47 without any trouble.
And all the prerequisites are that the bullet can hit him.
Mountain and sea warriors are strong in more than just strength.
There are also all kinds of fancy spells, all kinds of powerful psychic equipment, and almost prejudgment-like mental perception.
Let’s take another extreme example.
If a nuclear bomb is to hit the mountains and seas, it can only be a covering type, but not only the price paid is huge, but also how much it hurts the enemy and how much it hurts ourselves is also debatable.
Going further up, that is the level of top mountains and seas.
Today, Shen Qian clearly understands that even between mountains and seas, the gap is huge.
For top powerhouses like Tantai Qin, their personal destructive power is no less than that of nuclear bombs, and they are instant and continuous fire. Otherwise, it would be impossible to destroy the "men" single-handedly.
As for the princes, they need not be included in the scope of discussion.
When the boss Gao Bu captured the sky with one hand, he grabbed the galaxy with one hand, which was a scene that almost overturned Shen Qian's imagination.
If the legendary gods really exist, this is probably the case.
"Yes, although human beings are very effective in science and technology, they are too weak individually. In the vast galaxy, technology must not be the only force that can be called an advanced civilization."
Shi Dingyan confirmed Shen Qian's conjecture.
"Then how did the first batch of pioneer warriors grow up?"
Shen Qian asked curiously, "Logically speaking, they shouldn't have much time."
"Is there a possibility that there is actually another group of people existing?" Shi Dingyan said softly.
"Another group of people?" Shen Qian was stunned.
"You can call them 'ancient warriors'." Shi Dingyan said lightly, "The period when they were active was probably during the thousands of years when the feudal dynasty was active in Chinese history."
"But Third Brother, didn't you just say that it was impossible for high-level warriors to exist in the earth's environment before spiritual energy was revived..."
Shen Qian suddenly thought of something in the middle of speaking, and said with horror: "You mean, they are not from the earth?"
Shen Qian reacted very quickly, and at this moment he had thought of many things like lightning.
"You can only say that they were not from the earth at that time."
Shi Dingyan smiled and said, "Now that you have learned that this is not the first time that spiritual energy has revived on the earth, and that there have been human warriors who opened the way in ancient times, where did those previous practitioners go?"
"In other words, the earth's aura revives, all the 'doors' appear, and those who may have grown up from the earth in the past have also returned and helped the human race survive the crisis?"
Shen Qian murmured.
"That's right or wrong." Shi Dingyan shook his head.
"What do you mean?" Shen Qian was startled.
"Those ancient warriors... let's call them that. The purpose of their appearance at that time remains to be explored. In other words, not every ancient warrior was to help the human race, otherwise they would not have been suppressed."< /p>
"Suppression?"
Shen Qian narrowed his eyes, this word is not very pleasant!
According to the records in the textbooks, the pioneer warriors were all tall and powerful beings, and most of that group died in the early stages of spiritual energy recovery, which was tantamount to sacrificing themselves for the re-emergence of the human race.
"Half and half, maybe there is someone who sincerely helps the human race. King Jiangling came from a grassroots background, but he was able to grow up in that era. This itself also explains something."
Shi Dingyan recalled, "It was really an era of great chaos. In addition to ancient warriors, it is said that immortal warriors also appeared even longer ago. Coupled with the rise of new martial arts, that's why there were so many martial arts schools."
"Is King Jiangling a modern human being?" Shen Qian asked a question that he had been unsure about before.
"Well, he is the leader of the new warriors. It is also under his control that he has reintegrated the human order. Nowadays, not many people know about the existence of ancient warriors and immortal warriors... Oh, it is said that there are some ancient warrior families in existence. It’s the inheritance left by the ancient warriors, but it can’t become a thing.”
After Shi Dingyan nodded, he changed his tone again, "But few of the other eight kings seem to be new warriors."
"Oh?"
It was the first time Shen Qian heard this kind of secret, and he couldn't help but become more focused.
"I'm not sure about the others. King Qian Wu is said to have lived for a long time, but I don't know exactly which era he was from. In addition, there is King Zhou Yi... Hey, do you know why he is called King of Zhou Yi?"
Shi Dingyan suddenly placed a barrier around him and lowered his voice.
Shen Qian shook his head in confusion.
"It is said that the establishment of Zhou Dynasty, the third feudal dynasty in ancient China, had something to do with him..."
"Zhou Dynasty?"
Shen Qian was startled.
The Zhou Dynasty was more than three thousand years ago.
So, King Zhou Yi is at least three thousand years old?
Shen Qian was speechless.
He was more surprised by the longevity of the top princes.
There are no mountain and sea warriors who have died of natural old age, but according to scientific judgment, the lifespan of a mountain and sea warrior may only be a few hundred years.
But the prince can live for such a long time, what is the difference between that and eternal life!
"Are you surprised?" Shi Dingyan chuckled, took a sip of wine and said, "What's even more exciting is that he once wrote a book known as an ancient book, which is also related to his title. Guess Which one is it?"
"..."Book of Changes"?"
"Correct answer."
"Fuck!"
Shen Qian had to take a sip of wine to calm down.
Can you trust any of this damn history book?
But if you think about it carefully, the history books did not mention who wrote the "Book of Changes" in advance. They just guessed that it was the crystallization of ancient folk wisdom.
At this moment, Shen Qian thought of more.
Titled princes are those who have blazed a trail for themselves, or have made significant contributions to the development and survival of the human race.
Is writing a book... actually one of them?
"Speaking of Third Senior Brother, I heard before that King Zhou Yi seems to have a good relationship with Duke Yanshan?"
Shen Qian coughed and asked.
"Why, weren't you so cool when you killed Wang Shuo and humiliated Ji You just now? Now you're giving in?"
Shi Dingyan glanced at Shen Qian with a half-smile.
"Damn it, isn't my third senior brother protecting me? Of course I'm not afraid, I just want to ask, ask..." Shen Qian could only laugh dryly, but he was cursing in his heart.
Nonsense!
Who can be honest when facing a top prince who has lived for thousands of years, a terrifying existence whose shadow can even be found in human history?
"They have a good relationship."
Shi Dingyan nodded, "But you don't have to worry. With the status of King of Zhou Yi, how can he personally target you? At most, he doesn't have a good impression of you. Besides... there is a teacher here."
Shen Qian thought so and stopped worrying.
If King Zhou Yi really wants to kill him, there is no need to wait until now.
"In addition to King Zhou Yi, King Zhenbei who is also the honorary president of the Chinese Martial Arts Association, and King Qianwu, who is confirmed to have fallen, where have the other seven kings gone?" Shen Qian asked a long-standing question.< /p>
"You ask me who should I ask?" Shi Dingyan rolled his eyes and said, "It is related to the traces of the Nine Kings. It is a huge secret. Probably only the teacher will know something about it, but since the teacher has never mentioned it, I asked. It’s no use asking.”
"That's hard to say, what if you just asked in vain..." Shen Qian muttered something in his heart, but didn't say it out loud.
"Back to business, about Xu Nian's question..."
Shi Dingyan seemed to realize that the topic had strayed far away, so he took the initiative to bring it back.
"You can understand it this way. In that era of chaotic thinking, countless ways were tried in order to become stronger quickly. Among them, there was one way that many people believed in, called... genetic modification."
"What kind of transformation method?" Shen Qian asked curiously.
"For example, extracting the DNA of powerful creatures and mixing it with human genes to give birth to so-called 'new humans' from the mother's womb, but this approach has obviously failed."
"You mean, the one named Xu Nian... is one of the test subjects?" Shen Qian thought of something and couldn't help but be shocked.
"Well, when the secret experimental base was exposed, all the tens of thousands of scientific researchers and warriors inside died. The only surviving baby was later adopted by Duke Yanshan."
Shi Dingyan said quietly, "That baby is now Xu Nian."
……
"Hoo!"
When the figure in the black cloak finally disappeared from the high tower, Ji You was obviously relieved.
"Actually, you don't have to be so afraid of Second Senior Brother. His character is a little weird, but you should also know that it's because he has been burdened with too much since he was a child..."
Guo Zhouyuan on the side frowned.
"Third Senior Brother, I understand. I'm just a little worried. Hasn't the Martial Arts Association banned Second Senior Brother from entering the country? If he appears in the Magic City so openly now, will it be..."
Ji You smiled dryly.
"You don't need to worry about this. Haven't you noticed yet? A big change is coming. Otherwise, why would the teacher call him back at such a sensitive moment?"
Guo Zhouyuan put his hands behind his back and said, "As long as the King of Zhenbei doesn't say anything, who dares to stand up and talk nonsense?"
"That's good. Does Senior Sister know that he is back?" Ji You thought of something.
"I don't know about that." Guo Zhouyuan frowned, "I just hope that the second senior brother will not annoy her again."
Ji You nodded lightly and asked tentatively: "By the way, the second senior brother just said that the younger brother can still be saved, but if we don't use the 'creation' pill recipe, what else can we do?"
"Have you forgotten why the teacher accepted Wang Shuo as a disciple?"
Guo Zhouyuan glanced at Ji You and said indifferently.
Ji You was horrified, "You mean that...he's already awake?"
"It's time to wake up if you don't want to. In the final analysis, this is his own business. He can't always let us, Meiyuan, clean up his mess for him, right?"
Guo Zhouyuan chuckled.
"If that person can come back, even if the second senior brother appears again, there really won't be any worries."
Ji You's eyes flashed coldly, "Hey, there's that boy named Shen Qian, I want to see how long he can be arrogant!"
