Chapter 347 Dialogue with the Tombbearer, the Secret of the Alchemy Saint
"Qin Yi?"
After the humanoid energy body's eyes shone with wisdom, the first thing he said was to call out Qin Yi's name accurately.
After Qin Yi heard this, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and he nodded and said, "It's me. I wonder what you call me, senior?"
The humanoid energy body floated down from the sky above the cold jade coffin and landed on the other end of the cold jade coffin. He cupped his hands and said to Qin Yi: "I have been a tombkeeper for so long that I have forgotten my name a long time ago. You
Like them, you can call me the Tombbearer."
"How long? How long?"
The tomb man shook his head and did not answer Qin Yi's question. Instead, he asked in surprise: "We have just sent out the invitation. The token has not been sent to you yet, and the person who picked you up has not set off yet. How are you doing?"
Entering the ancestral land?"
"Senior, since he recognized me at a glance, he should have read my resume. I have just returned from the Land of Guixu, and the Land of Guixu is much deeper and larger than this place."
After hearing this, the tomb man was silent for a long time, nodded and then shook his head and said: "The place of Guixu? So that's it... But, even so, if you don't have guidance, I'm afraid you won't be able to find the ancestral land..."
While he was talking, the tomb man saw the life card on Qin Yi's left hand and suddenly said: "Is it the life card? So, did you already have a plan when you asked for Qin Xu's life card at the villa?"
Speaking of this, the tomb owner looked at Qin Yi and sighed: "Sure enough, he is the only person who has returned to the Central Plains from the place of ruins in decades. His research on the tomb of gods is so profound that he can actually turn abandoned life tablets into guidance. It's really
It’s amazing. It seems that the control of life cards needs to be more stringent in the future. Even discarded life cards cannot be given to others at will."
"Is this making a fuss out of a molehill? At least judging from the current situation, no one can do this except me. The life cards are still very safe, and the ancestral hall lineage is doing a good job."
Qin Yi spoke of injustice for the people of the ancestral hall.
It's okay if Qin Yi didn't say anything. When he said this, the tomb owner immediately thought of the people in the ancestral hall who kept the life tablets. He nodded and said: "Yes, the people in the ancestral hall have neglected their duties and are becoming less and less rigorous in their work."
Speaking of this, something suddenly occurred to him. He looked up at Qin Yi thoughtfully and said, "I didn't expect you to be so vengeful at such a young age. A junior in the ancestral hall just provoked you, but later he was killed."
You apologized, but you still cling to the ancestral hall lineage, speak ill of them whenever you find an opportunity, and try every means to weaken them. After all, they are all members of the same clan. It is not good for you to do this. Do you know that from the moment you were in front of the ancestral hall?
After the riot, the Ancestral Hall family has become your staunchest supporters in the Villa, and has been pushing all the forces in the Villa to support you, endorsing your next actions and giving you the greatest support."
Qin Yi acted without any cover-up. Qin Yi was not surprised when his family members guessed his purpose. What surprised Qin Yi was the time it took for the Ancestral Hall to find out.
What those who heard the tomb meant was that after he established his authority in front of the ancestral hall, the people in the ancestral hall immediately guessed his purpose of doing so, and their attitude changed 180 degrees, and they began to actively operate and become his main force in the villa.
My staunchest supporter, this time is too early.
Sure enough, one cannot underestimate the people of the world.
Even with the memory of two lifetimes, he is just a younger brother when it comes to conspiracy.
Qin Yi suddenly figured out something, smiled casually, and said to himself: "I didn't want to hide anything at first. What I did was a conspiracy, and there is nothing to worry about if it is seen through."
Since they are no match for these people when it comes to intrigues, then they should resort to scheming.
Even if the other party knows his plan, the general trend is, and even if he knows what he can do, he can only go according to his rhythm, otherwise, he will go against the trend.
I believe that these aristocratic families that have existed for thousands or even tens of thousands of years should understand that the trend is irreversible, right?
All they can do is follow the trend and seek the benefits they want amidst the general trend.
After thinking about it, the solemn expression on Qin Yi's face instantly relaxed, and he chuckled: "In this case, then the feud between me and the Ancestral Hall lineage will be over. In the future, I will not target the Ancestral Hall lineage again.
My pulse is gone.”
The gravekeeper looked at Qin Yi and said curiously: "You figured it out so quickly? What a good temperament!"
Facing the compliment, Qin Yi seemed shy and quickly changed the subject. He looked around the tomb and asked casually: "Are you personally guarding every tomb in the ancestral land?"
The grave bearer shook his head and said: "Of course not. Only those who have made significant contributions to the family, or who were in the Dharma Realm during their lifetime, need my personal protection."
At this point, the tomb owner suddenly reacted, shook his head at Qin Yi and said, "What are you suspecting? Do you suspect that we used Qin Xu's tomb to set a trap for you?"
The gravekeeper took a step forward, looked at Qin Xu's body in the cold jade coffin, and said: "Those who can enter the ancestral land for burial must be direct descendants of the family. Secondly, they also need strength above the Golden Core level. Only a few people are special cases. You
The teacher is one of them. He contributed to the ancestral land the mysterious cultivation method created by Wen Sheng, and because the contemporary Marquis of Changping was willing to pay a certain price for it, he passed the request and was allowed to enter the ancestral land for burial."
"Originally, it was an honor for Qin Xu to enter the ancestral land for burial. Naturally, I did not need to personally guard his tomb. The mechanisms and formations in the tomb were enough. However, who asked Qin Xu to accept a good apprentice?
?”
"After our analysis of your past experience, we believe that you have great potential and are an important person for the family to prosper again. You deserve our high attention. Therefore, we have improved your treatment in all aspects. Among them, Qin Xu's mausoleum was built by me personally.
Guarding is one of them."
Only then did Qin Yi know the cause and effect of this incident.
It turned out that this was not a game at all, but another attempt by the Weishui Qin family to win over him.
In this world where blood is the bond and clan is the power, this approach is completely normal.
On the contrary, I was affected by the memory of my previous life and couldn't react for a while, and even started to have some conspiracy theories.
Qin Yi did not defend himself. He admitted it generously and laughed at himself: "I judge the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain."
The grave owner did not intend to hold on to this matter, but instead excused Qin Yi: "This is normal. You have received too little from the family before. All the favors were obtained by Qin Xu from his own wisdom, connections, power and
The resources were allocated to you. After Qin Xu passed away, it is reasonable for you not to trust the family."
Obviously, even the forces whose ties are based on blood understand that they cannot unite everyone solely by blood.
A sense of identity, a sense of mission, loyalty, unity, etc. To unite the entire clan requires management, dedication, training, real benefits, and exchanging sincerity for sincerity...
Qin Yi is a person who takes soft things rather than hard things, and he really likes this.
Perhaps, this is human nature, and most people do this.
Qin Yi's attitude improved a lot unknowingly. At the same time, he probably felt that the heat was enough. Qin Yi asked the second question that he was most concerned about.
"The fate card and your current clone puppet both look very exquisite and self-contained. They seem to be made by the same person, but they have not been fully developed and utilized. It is a pity. I don't know who they came from.
hand?"
When the tomb master heard this topic, his eyes were full of regret, and he sighed and said: "The descendants of future generations are unworthy. These things are all from the hands of the Alchemy Saint, but we only have the skin of them and cannot exert their power. It is humiliating
He has gained the reputation of Alchemy Saint."
"Alchemy Saint?"
Isn’t it a product of the last civilizational era of the human race that I used to have a lot of imagination about?
Yes, although it is self-contained, it can also be seen that it is in the same vein as martial arts and is obviously a product of the martial arts era, but it is too "advanced" and somewhat beyond this era.
In the words of the previous life, it was Tuotuo's black technology.
However, even if it was a product of the martial arts era, he really did not expect that it would be created by the Alchemist.
"For future generations, the Alchemy Sage came from the Qin family in Weishui?"
There are many rumors about Dan Sheng's true identity.
He is also the only saint whose identity is unknown among the five great saints.
Very mysterious.
The grave owner did not hide anything from Qin Yi, and said truthfully: "Dan Sheng's origin is a bit bizarre. He was a war orphan from the Zhao State. He lived on the border between Qin and Zhao. His family gathered dead soldiers and brought them back to the Qin State.
Secret cultivation.”
"Alchemy Sage has been gifted with extraordinary talent since he was a child. It only took him three years to break through to innate perfection. He started training at a very young age and was then arranged to become an alchemist apprentice. He worked undercover next to the best alchemy master in Qin at that time.
, monitor nearby.”
"Unexpectedly, Dan Sage is more talented in alchemy. Within a few days, the strongest alchemist in the Qin Kingdom discovered his talent and began to focus on training. In less than three years, Dan Sage's alchemy level has already reached
Surpassing his master, the strongest alchemist in the Qin Kingdom at that time."
"Because Dan Sheng grew up so fast, coupled with his childhood experience and the education he received since childhood, Dan Sheng is very low-key, and even deliberately hides it, never showing up in front of outsiders."
"Alchemy Sage spent another five years researching the Golden Alchemy Realm, allowing the alchemy lineage to truly integrate into martial arts, and even become the mainstream of martial arts."
"Dan Sheng is a real genius. He has been in seclusion in his ancestral land since then, studying the secret techniques of the Danwu lineage. He has played a very important role in the development of the Danwu lineage. One person has promoted the development of the entire martial arts.
"
"Because of Alchemy Saint's achievements, he was given the Qin surname as an exception by the then King of Qin and the clan leader of the Weishui Qin clan. He was recorded on the jade plate and became a core member of the Weishui Qin clan and one of the greatest ancestors of our Weishui Qin clan."
Only then did Qin Yi understand the origin of Alchemy Saint.
"The origin of Alchemy Saint is so clear, why is it not known to the outside world?"
The tomb bearer shook his head and said: "This is the last instruction of Alchemy Saint. His origins must not be revealed to others. Future generations will not dare to disobey him."
Qin Yi didn't understand Dan Sheng's intention of doing this. Maybe it had something to do with his upbringing, so he liked to hide behind the scenes and didn't want to show off to others.
"Isn't Alchemy Saint good at refining alchemy? Why..."
The tomb bearer smiled and shook his head and said: "You have been with Qin Xu since you were a child and have received the most formal teachings from the Qin family's direct line. You should know the origins of the three veins of elixirs, weapons, formations, and so on."
Seeing Qin Yi nodding, the tomb man stopped spreading knowledge in this area and continued: "Back then, when the Alchemy Sage was stuck in a bottleneck in the Alchemy Way, in order to draw parallels, he also practiced the two channels of the Qi Dao and the Formation Dao.
It may be that one method can lead to all methods, or it may be that the talent of Alchemy Saint is really too good. Alchemy Saint has achieved outstanding achievements in both the weapon path and the formation path. In his later years, Alchemy Saint has deduced the skills above the Golden Elixir realm.
, in fact, some achievements have been made, but this technique is too dangerous, except for Alchemy Saint, other people cannot practice it at all, and it was later sealed."
Qin Yi's heart moved and he asked: "The skills above the Golden Dan realm created by Alchemy Sage in his later years are for refining gods?"
The tomb owner looked at Qin Yi in surprise and nodded with satisfaction: "Sure enough, he is very smart. He knows everything about him. He is good at refining gods."
In fact, it's not difficult to guess. You can see it clearly by following the fate cards and clone puppets.
The tomb man continued: "Actually, Alchemy Sage already deduced when he was young that the Qi Refining lineage is most suitable for our human race, so he created the Golden Elixir Realm. Alchemy Sage has never given up on deducing the skills after the Golden Elixir Realm.
In the realm of Dharma, in his later years, Alchemy Sage finally realized that in the realm of golden elixir, single Qi refining had come to an end. If he wanted to make a breakthrough, he needed to introduce the power of the soul. It was just the power of the soul, so he started
Study the power of the soul."
Hearing this, Qin Yi nodded secretly. This point was in conflict with Wen Sheng. The Dharma Realm created by Wen Sheng introduced the power of the soul.
It is also very consistent with the dimensional theory he created.
The process of cultivation is also a process of dimensionality. The dimension replaced by Qi refining is still too low and has limitations. If you want to make a breakthrough, you can only introduce the power of a higher dimension.
Having said this, the tomb bearer sighed and continued: "Unfortunately, the power of the soul is too dangerous. Even with the talent of Alchemy Saint, I can't avoid it. I only studied it for less than a year, and... what I left behind
The secret techniques are also very dangerous and can only be sealed."
Qin Yi thought about the dangers he faced when he condensed the golden elixir for refining gods. Everything was ready, but he could only break through by leaving the sea and returning to land. He did not have the most dangerous "questioning the heart" level. Until now, in retrospect, Qin Yi
I still had some lingering fears the next day.
If it weren't for the power of the game panel, Qin Yi really couldn't guarantee that he would be able to pass the test of questioning one's heart.
When the tomb said this, he couldn't help but sigh: "I saw the half-finished god-cultivating technique created by the literary saint Qin Xu in his later years. He is indeed the saint who created the realm of Dharma. Actually, when he was studying the soul in his later years,
The god-refining technique he created is also so gentle, it’s really amazing.”
The deceased is not saying that Wen Sheng is better than Dan Sheng. He can only say that Dan Sheng was born at the wrong time. Wen Sheng stood on the shoulders of Dan Sheng and created a new realm after the Golden Elixir realm, and on the basis of the Dharma phase realm.
When I studied the spiritual exercises, my situation was naturally very different.
If the two were exchanged, Dan Sheng might have achieved greater success.
Of course, this is only a possibility.
As the saying goes, there are no ifs in this world.
Reality is reality, that’s why there are so many regrets and so many difficult feelings.
The tomb owner turned to look at Qin Yi, with a kind smile on his face, just like an elder who sees his promising children and grandchildren and says kindly: "Qin Yi, I see the shadow of the Alchemy Saint in you, as long as you persist
Persevere and never forget your original intention, and you may achieve the same level of success as Alchemy Saint."
Qin Yi is very confident about this.
With the memory of his previous life, the golden finger of the game panel, and the powerful deduction ability, there is no reason for him to be worse than the Dan Sheng and Wen Sheng who do not have golden fingers.
His achievements will only be stronger!
"Since it was created by Alchemy Saint, then the inheritance should remain in the family, right? How..."
How could this situation happen now?
Is there something wrong with the inheritance?
The tomb owner naturally saw Qin Yi's doubts, glanced at Qin Yi with a complicated expression, sighed and said: "There is nothing wrong with the inheritance left by Alchemy Saint, but not everyone is like Alchemy Saint and you.
With extraordinary talents, we can thoroughly study the refining method, refine it, and pass it on from generation to generation. It is already very difficult to keep the inheritance going. As for fully understanding it and fully utilizing their effects,
If you show it, it will really be difficult for mediocre people like us."
Qin Yi looked at the tomb owner in disbelief.
The inheritance has been left behind, but you still can't understand it thoroughly. You only know it but don't know what it is?
Is the inheritance of the Alchemy Saint so difficult?
However, when I thought about it, I realized that both the life cards and the clone puppets involved the divine soul. The divine soul was strange and unpredictable to him who had already condensed the golden elixir of refining the gods, not to mention other people who had not been exposed to the way of refining the gods.
.
It makes sense to think so.
The tomb man continued: "Actually, the Qin family in Weishui is not the only one who cannot fully understand the inheritance. This is a common problem among aristocratic families. Every few hundred years, a genius with the appearance of a saint will appear in every aristocratic family, and then create a new world.
Develop a new martial arts and develop a unique set of magical powers and secret techniques. However, these cannot be popularized. Only a few people can practice and pass them on. However, they can only pass them on, understand them thoroughly, and even introduce new ones.
There’s no need to think about it.”
It turns out that this is a common problem in aristocratic families?
I have created my own martial arts but cannot popularize it. Is it because I don’t want to? Or because I can’t?
Qin Yi didn't know other people's answers, but he himself was willing to popularize them, and he also had the ability.
"As for ordinary geniuses who are gifted with the posture of a saint, they exist in every generation of various families, and they emerge in endlessly. Many of them can also create some unique secret techniques, although they cannot compare with the martial arts and a series of magical powers created by geniuses with the posture of a saint.
Compared with the secret arts, they are also extraordinary and have their own characteristics. However, they are also not popular and only a few people are suitable. The good thing is that because the difficulty is low, the practitioners will more or less perfect it, and this is how it goes from generation to generation.
Passed down from generation to generation, these secret techniques have formed a specific inheritance, and some of them are even more practical in terms of application in specific environments than the inheritance left by a genius with the appearance of a saint."
Qin Yi couldn't help but think of the secret skills of Qin Jun, Qin Yu, and Qin Hui, which seemed to be this kind of secret skill.
These three secret techniques do have their own unique advantages in detective work, and the secret techniques are simple and not difficult to practice and understand. Practitioners can completely understand them and innovate on their basis.
After such accumulation from generation to generation, there are some aspects that perhaps cannot be underestimated.
After clarifying the two issues he was most concerned about, Qin Yi couldn't help but feel much more relaxed.
The tombkeeper's knowledge was so profound, it seemed like there was nothing he didn't know.
When Qin Yi looked at the tomb again, it was like looking at a walking dictionary.
With this rare opportunity, Qin Yi then asked the third question he was most concerned about: "Senior, how come the ancestral land of our Weishui Qin family is the Dragon Tomb? In fact, is the ancestral land of the aristocratic family also the Dragon Tomb?"
The tomb owner was very patient with Qin Yi: "The ancestral land of our Weishui Qin family is the Dragon Tomb. Other aristocratic families, just the ten thousand-year-old families inherited from the military era, basically have ancestral lands, and their ancestral lands are also the same as those of the Long Tomb."
The dragon tombs in our ancestral land are similar, but they may not be dragon tombs, but they are all divine tombs that were naturally opened after the divine beasts of the last era fell and sank into the earth."
"In the last era, divine beasts and divine tombs?" Qin Yi's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this, and he excitedly repeated several keywords that interested him.
"Yes, the last era." When talking about this topic, the tomb owner's tone was also a little heavy, and his voice couldn't help but have a sense of history: "We call it the era of mythical beasts."
"The Age of Divine Beasts? Senior, can you explain it to me in detail?"
Qin Yi had previously wildly guessed that the life cards and clone puppets were the products of the previous human era. Unexpectedly, he guessed wrongly, but that they were the legacy of Dan Shengjian.
However, I didn't expect that there really was a previous era, but it was not the era of humans, but the era of mythical beasts.
The tomb man sighed and said: "Our knowledge about the Era of Divine Beasts is limited. After all, the era when our human race appeared was too short. The only one with clear historical records is the Yuanwu Era. We have almost no history before the Yuanwu Era.
It’s a blank. As for the era of divine beasts, it’s still speculation after we discovered the tomb of the gods.”
When the teacher explained it to him, he also started explaining it from the Yuanwu era. It seems that the history of the Central Plains human race can only be traced back to the Yuanwu era.
"Senior, do you know the Lampbearer? The Lampbearer is very good at robbing tombs. If I guessed correctly, their secret base should also be the tomb of the gods. Legend has it that the Lampbearer was created by the Dragon Saint himself and is the direct descendant of the dragon pair. There is no relationship between our family and the Lampbearer.
Is there any secret relationship?"
The tomb bearer took a deep look at Qin Yi, shook his head and said, "Are you still grudged against the man holding the lantern?"
"We dare not forget each other's revenge for killing each other."
Qin Yi hated the Lantern Men. In addition to assassinating him twice and even banishing himself to the land of Guixu, Qin Yi hated the consequences of their banishment even more.
If he had not been exiled to the Land of Return to Ruins, the teacher would definitely not have taken the risk to practice the half-finished secret cultivation method left by the Wen Sheng, and there would be no possibility of what happened next.
He will create a Feng Shui formation step by step, and then cure the teacher. In this way, maybe the teacher will not die from this.
Whenever he thinks of this, Qin Yi hates the lantern holder with all his heart.
"The Lantern Men are actually not bad. They have never touched the Central Plains before. Instead, they hid in the land of Sebara. They took decisive action during the spiritual tide to protect the Central Plains and the human race. They ensured that the inheritance of our Central Plains human race will not be extinguished. However, in the near future,
It took decades for the Central Plains to have traces of the activities of the Lantern Man."
Qin Yi naturally also knows the contribution of the lantern holder. At worst, he will not implicate the innocent, but only find the culprit.
However, Qin Yi somewhat disagreed with the tomb bearer's statement.
"No, senior, I heard that the Lantern Man has been secretly operating in the Central Plains since ancient times. I heard that he has stolen many people's tombs. The purpose is to find the inheritance left by the Dragon Saint in the Central Plains."
The tomb bearer shook his head and said: "Do you believe these market rumors? They are just some people robbing tombs in the name of the Lampbearer for the sake of the inheritance in the tomb. You also know that the Lampbearer is the direct descendant of the Dragon Saint.
, will their inheritance be interrupted? On the contrary, in our Central Plains, in the era of the Military Saint, because of the suppression of the disciples of the Dragon Saint, because the Military Saint regarded the skills passed down by the Dragon Saint as evil practices and evil methods, they have long-term interference with the inheritance of the Dragon Saint.
After hundreds of years of destruction, later generations also had a lot of prejudice against the disciples of Dragon Saint, and this discrimination has not disappeared until now."
Jianghu was indeed not considered mainstream in the era of literary sages. It was excluded from temples and not tolerated by aristocratic families.
It turns out that the roots are here.
However, the Military Saint has destroyed the Dragon Saint inheritance for more than a hundred years, but has not completely destroyed it. It is still passed down to this day, which shows how strong the vitality of the Dragon Saint inheritance is.
Wait, perhaps, the lantern-carrying man hiding in Siyi also secretly took action during this process, deliberately preventing the Dragon Saint inheritance from being cut off in the Central Plains.
It is really possible that the Dragon Saint has been dead for many years. With the family's control over the Central Plains, if they really want to extinguish the Dragon Saint's inheritance, how can they really let him pass it on?
Only the action of external forces can make the Dragon Saint inheritance so tenacious, invincible, and constantly resurrected.
However, there does seem to be some problems with the Dragon Saint inheritance. The demonic path seems to branch off from the Dragon Saint inheritance.
Among the five major inheritances, only the Dragon Saint inheritance seems to have such huge side effects.
It’s no wonder that the military sages hated it so much, and the saints in subsequent dynasties strictly guarded against it.
It is estimated that the current situation in the world is the result of mutual compromise between the aristocratic family and the Lantern Man.
The legendary lantern holder in history who was good at robbing tombs was not the authentic lantern holder, but a fake?
Is it faked by people in the world in order to inherit the inheritance, or is it faked by the aristocratic family in order to obtain the inheritance of other small and medium-sized families?
Qin Yi never thinks of those with vested interests with the greatest malice.
Moreover, if you think about it carefully, in fact, the appearance of tomb robbers under the guise of the Lantern Man does not pose a threat to the family.
After all, the ancestral tombs of aristocratic families are all in secret realms.
Even if those tomb robbers robbed the family, they couldn't steal it.
If you think about it, it's really possible.
The thief shouts to catch the thief.
Moreover, doing so can also ruin the reputation of the lantern bearer and prepare in advance to prevent the lantern bearer from actually entering the Central Plains in the future.
This is probably the real reason why tomb robbers under the guise of the Lantern Man have continued throughout the ages.
Having said this, the grave bearer sighed and said with a look of regret: "The military saint dealt a huge blow to Long Wu and destroyed a large number of documents. Now, the only history we can clearly trace back is the period after the military saint.
Even further back in the Longwu and Yuanwu eras, although we know their existence clearly, there are too few historical documents that we can find."
Unexpectedly, the deceased was also a lover of history and literature.
"There are no relevant records from the aristocratic family?" Qin Yi asked puzzledly.
"The current aristocratic families were gradually formed in the middle and late military era. Although there are some records, they are very few. Moreover, many of the records are vague and unclear. Even the records of different aristocratic families are inconsistent and logically confusing."
Having said this, the tomb man sighed again and said: "Alas, the history of the Longwu era and the Yuanwu era is no longer possible."
Qin Yi discovered that the teacher likes history, Zhou Boyuan likes history, Feng Yu also likes history, and the deceased also likes history... It seems that many older people or people with certain experience like history. Of course, he has been born in two generations.
, also like history.
And these people are knowledgeable and wise people.
