Pre-Qin refers to the historical era before the Qin Dynasty in ancient China, starting from the emergence of ancient mankind to the end of Qin Shihuang's destruction of the six kingdoms in 221 BC.
Zhongdingwen, also known as bronze inscriptions, are inscriptions engraved on bronzes of the Yin and Zhou dynasties. The bronze inscriptions were used from the early Shang Dynasty to the Qin Dynasty when the Six Kingdoms were destroyed, with the Zhou Dynasty being the most prosperous.
Inside the Taoist temple, on the mottled ancient wall, there is a line of bells and tripods engraved with inscriptions, which are powerful and majestic, with dense and dense flow of Qi and a dignified atmosphere.
Ye Fan looked attentively and identified carefully. There were 215 ancient characters in total. His writing skills were strong and his body was thin and muscular, as if there was life.
He recognized a total of sixty-nine characters, but did not recognize the remaining one hundred and forty-six characters. No matter how much he thought about it, he could not understand its meaning.
Among the sixty-nine ancient characters recognized, nine were inferred based on the meaning of the preceding and following texts. This kind of ancient characters is really too old.
Even a truly old scholar cannot fully recognize Zhong Dingwen. On the other side of the starry sky, future generations of this writing can only partially recognize it.
"Pre-Qin Qi Refiner..." Ye Fan was shocked. This was indeed an inscription left by the ancients from the other side of the starry sky.
He read these records carefully, and although he could not read most of the characters, he still had a preliminary understanding that this person undoubtedly belonged to the Pre-Qin period of ancient China.
But he couldn't guess who he was and whether he had any prominent status in ancient history. After all, he couldn't identify nearly one hundred and fifty of them.
"Qi Refiner..." This was the first time he heard such a statement.
These three words gave Ye Fan endless reverie, making him seem to have seen a mysterious period of time, and there were unknown secrets in ancient times.
Sixty-nine characters could be discerned, but they were not connected together. It was difficult to connect them from beginning to end. He watched them for a long time, but he could only vaguely understand some of them.
This pre-Qin Qi practitioner did not cross the void and come to the end of the starry sky by himself. Zhong Dingwen recorded a reason for this, but he could not identify it.
"Is this some kind of secret technique?" the big black dog asked impatiently.
"no!"
"Boy, you are hiding something secret. We discovered this at the same time, so hurry up and decipher it." the big black dog urged.
Ye Fan ignored it, turned to Tu Fei and said: "Are there other worlds outside this world? Have you ever heard of it?"
Tu Fei was suspicious, shook his head and said, "I've never heard of it."
"What do you know..." Next to him, the big black dog seemed surprised and said, "Are these bird writings records about this aspect?"
Ye Fan suddenly thought that this big dog was very mysterious. Maybe it could know many unknown secrets and said, "Have you heard of it?"
"I...have heard a little bit about it." Black Emperor replied, and then he couldn't wait to ask: "What are these strange words on the wall recorded?"
Tu Fei also looked at it, and he also wanted to know the origin of this Taoist temple.
"The things recorded above are incredible. It is said that there is another world on the other side of the starry sky..."
"What?!" Tu Fei suddenly screamed, "Could there really be an immortal?"
The big black dog's eyes also flickered and he asked: "Be more detailed and translate all the words above so that we can understand clearly."
"The people in that place call themselves Qi Refiners. This is a pre-Qin Qi Refiner. He crossed the endless starry sky and left stone carvings after he came here."
"How... is this possible? Is it true or false?" Tu Fei was filled with shock, a little dumbfounded, and asked: "Is the Qi Refiner of the Pre-Qin Dynasty so powerful? Isn't it comparable to the Great Emperor?"
Ye Fan said: "He didn't come here on his own. He came to this world inexplicably along the path left by the ancients."
"What kind of people were the ancients? Were they walking among the many star fields?" Tu Fei's heart fluctuated, generating countless associations.
The big black dog's eyes shot out two sharp rays of light, saying: "Where has this guy gone? If you can catch him, you will get a priceless treasure."
"When someone comes to this world, no one notices it?" Ye Fan was very disappointed. He originally thought he could learn some clues from them.
"People who are not from this world will definitely take care to hide themselves. Now that so many years have passed, if he is still alive, he would have been comparable to the major saints." Tu Fei speculated that this Taoist temple has a history of at least two thousand years.
.
Ye Fan nodded, a person from the pre-Qin period, at least two thousand years ago, if this person is still alive, he might even become the supreme leader of a certain great religion.
"Boy, how do you recognize these bird characters?" The big black dog's eyes shone brightly, staring at Ye Fan with deep meaning.
Tu Fei had already suspected it and looked over, full of confusion.
"I once read an ancient book, and there were some words like this in it, with superficial annotations, so I knew them somewhat." Ye Fan replied calmly.
"Teach me, this kind of writing is very mysterious, I want to learn it." The big black dog said.
Ye Fan answered without hesitation: "Okay, no problem. I'll teach you a word, and you'll teach me a Taoist pattern."
The big black dog immediately rolled his eyes with a look of resentment. Dao Wen was his secret skill. Ye Fan had been trying to get it for a day or two, but he still didn't get anything.
"Black Emperor, you haven't said anything yet. Have you heard anything about the world on the other side of the starry sky?" Ye Fan asked.
"I know too little. In the past, a great emperor only said one or two sentences like this. I don't know the details."
"Can you be more specific?" Ye Fan wanted to punch it.
"How specific? I only know that the great emperor often looks up at the stars late at night, but I don't know anything else." The big black dog shook his head.
"Damn dog, are you hiding it on purpose?" Ye Fan pressed.
"Woof!" The big black dog bared its teeth and tried to bite.
"You really don't know?" Ye Fan was confused.
"If this emperor knew, would he still ask you? I only know that this is the emperor's secret, and outsiders don't know it at all." The big black dog replied angrily.
As night falls, the scorching desert becomes cooler and cooler. By late at night, it is bone-chilling. An ordinary person would be frozen to death.
Ye Fan looked up at the stars, looking for his way back.
"The ancients could cross the void, and so can I. I will definitely be able to go back in the future..." He felt that there must be many secrets in his hometown in the ancient times.
"Boy, do you really think of yourself as the emperor?" The Black Emperor teased as he lay beside the Taoist temple when he woke up.
"Did the great emperor in the past look up at the stars every night?" Ye Fan asked calmly.
"It's not every night. Occasionally I'll be in a trance and sit there all night long." Hei Huang replied with a yawn.
"How do you know so clearly?" Ye Fan suddenly asked.
Tu Fei also woke up, leaned against the wall of the Taoist temple, opened his eyes, and said: "This damn dog has many secrets, but he just refuses to tell them. He only knows how to greedily grab other people's things all day long, and he never shares anything with others.
"
"Woof!" the dog barked across the night sky.
"Okay, don't bite."
"I have heard all this. How can it be so easy to know the emperor's secrets? I won't tell others even if they cry and beg me."
"Which star fields does the emperor like to see?" Ye Fan asked.
"More, Ziwei, Taiwei..." The big black dog said a few names casually.
Ye Fan returned to the Taoist temple and once again observed the lines of bells and tripods. He copied them with his hands, carefully studied them, and finally guessed two more words, that is - Ziwei!
A pre-Qin Qi practitioner mentioned these two words in Zhong Dingwen, which moved Ye Fan, and he began to trace them on the wall.
"Susu..."
Suddenly, the stone wall fell like dust, all the writing disappeared, and a large piece of the mottled ancient wall broke away.
Is it too old, or is it for other reasons? Ye Fan's heart moved, and he scratched lightly with his fingers, and stone chips flew away. The stone carving completely disappeared, and a thick layer fell down.
"Ding"
There was a soft sound, and a dull metal box was revealed in the decaying wall. It was dull, old and ordinary.
"The treasure has been dug out!" the big black dog shouted, lunging forward, grinning, trying to compete with Ye Fan.
Tu Fei was behind and grabbed its bald tail to prevent it from moving forward.
"Woof!"
Just like a tiger's butt cannot be touched, the big black dog's bald tail is definitely a restricted area. It turned around and started biting wildly.
Ye Fan cut open the wall and took out the metal box. It was in the shape of a long strip and was made of bronze. It was more than three feet long and a palm wide. It fit tightly and was sealed very firmly.
The bronze metal box is heavy, with a hint of coolness coming out, and there is a weak divine power on it.
Ye Fan instantly understood that the wall was originally sealed, but due to its age, the divine power leaked out and a lot of stone chips fell off.
"Woof!"
The big black dog bit Tu Fei a few times, then finally stopped and quickly came closer to observe the long bronze box.
"Stay still and don't grab it!" Ye Fan warned it.
"Don't worry, I just want to see how you can steal your own things?" the big black dog replied with its bald tail erect.
"Damn, dead dog!" Tu Fei cursed, a row of teeth marks appeared on his calf, and he staggered over.
The two of them and the dog were all looking forward to it. After all, this was something left by the Qi Master on the other side of the starry sky. Especially Ye Fan, he was even a little nervous.
He took out the cauldron, hung it on his head, and let down streaks of black and yellow energy to protect his body, and then slowly opened the long metal box.
When the lid of the bronze box was opened, there was no precious light blooming, no auspicious colors lingering, and not even a slight fluctuation of divine power.
Inside the metal box, there is a wooden whip. It is very simple, engraved with many patterns, very mysterious, and the more you look at it, the more attractive it becomes.
It is more than three feet long and has more than twenty sections. Each section has several complicated lines, which are clearly imprinted on it, making it natural and mysterious.
"A wooden whip, coming from the other side of the starry sky, what kind of treasure is this?" Ye Fan was surprised.
Among the known pre-Qin figures, who was armed with a wooden whip? He thought carefully and again.
The big black dog is an expert. When he saw this wooden whip that was as good as an iron sword, he almost drooled because there were mysterious Dao patterns in each section.
"Is this a treasure? But why can't I feel the fluctuation of divine power?" Tu Fei asked.
"Buzz"
The wooden whip trembled slightly, floating out of the metal wooden box and flying towards the big black dog.
"Damn dog, are you really robbing me?!" Ye Fan said angrily.
"The emperor was destined to me as soon as he saw this treasure. I don't want the source I snatched from Niubi. I'll give it to you. I want this wooden whip!" The big black dog hugged the wooden whip tightly with his big paws.
.
"This greedy big dog really grabs treasures when they see them!" Tu Fei gritted his teeth.
"Ouch..." Suddenly, the big black dog screamed and threw the wooden whip to the ground. A pair of hind legs stood on the ground, jumping around, a pair of front paws hugged the head, and opened its mouth. The wolf was in pain.
howl.
"What's wrong with you, dead dog?" Ye Fan asked.
"Damn, my emperor's consciousness has been attacked." The big black dog screamed in pain.
"You deserve it, who told you to be so greedy!" Ye Fan didn't sympathize with it at all. Last time it twitched to the ground because of grabbing the fruit cut out of the stone millstone, and today it suffered from leucorrhea again.
"What kind of treasure is this?" Tu Fei was confused and did not dare to touch the wooden whip. He looked around it, but found nothing unusual.
"Ah..." Suddenly, he screamed and covered his forehead.
"Brother Tu, are you okay?" Ye Fan was surprised.
"Don't probe it with your spiritual consciousness. This wooden whip attacks your spiritual consciousness." Tu Fei said.
Ye Fan's heart moved, he picked up the wooden whip, held it in his hand, and said to himself: "Is this a wooden whip designed to hit the spiritual consciousness?"
The divine whip left by the Qi Refiners of the Pre-Qin Dynasty came from the other side of the starry sky. It is very likely that such a treasure was left by a more famous Qi Refiner.
