After finishing the military statistics and writing the memorial all night long, Qin Dong was blinded by the noon sun and suddenly realized that it was already noon the next day.
After Qin Dong ordered someone to deliver the memorial to Luo Jing, he stretched out with relief and walked out of the tent.
Standing on the north bank of the Changhe River again, looking at the miasma-filled scenery in the south, he felt completely different from the last time, with a different style.
"That's right, last time I was thinking about the enemy on the opposite side, but this time I was thinking about the scenery on the opposite side."
Qin Dong noticed something and raised his eyes to see the familiar colorful bird flying over again.
Qin Dong hesitated for a moment and asked tentatively:
"The lantern bearer?"
Sure enough, the colorful bird spoke back.
"Dongshuai has a good eye."
Sure enough, it was the lady with the lantern lantern who had the secret skill of controlling birds who reported last time.
Qin Dong bowed to the colorful bird and thanked him: "Thank you very much for the information of the lantern holder last time. I have specifically mentioned it in the memorial. I also suggested that the pursuit order against the lantern holder be cancelled. I believe that it will be done soon."
There will be results.”
The colorful bird flapped its wings quickly a few times, flew up and then fell down naturally, saying in a cheerful voice.
"Thank you very much."
Cai Yuan was very happy to hear the news. In this case, it would be safer for her to play in the Central Plains in the future.
Even if he was discovered by the court, his life would not be at stake.
It could be heard that the other party was really happy about the news, and Qin Dong also laughed.
"I wonder what I call the lady holding the lantern?"
The colorful bird flew in circles for a while.
This, I should be able to say.
After all, even the Immortal Saint has seen it.
Just tell it truthfully.
"Caiyuan."
Qin Dong repeated "Cai Yuan", and then asked: "Miss Cai Yuan is here this time, but do you need help with something?"
The colorful bird nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, we plan to arrange for people to come to the Central Plains to transform spiritual roots. There may be some movement when the Taoist scriptures resonate, so I want to tell you in advance."
Qin Dong asked with a smile: "The colorful bird appearance on the outskirts of Qinglin County last time was probably the result of your subconscious stimulation when you resonated with the Taoist scriptures, right?"
The colorful bird flew in circles for a while.
Alas, the other party has guessed it. Do you want to admit it or not?
When Qin Dong saw the colorful bird spinning in circles, he knew he had guessed correctly.
Qin Dong didn't wait for Cai Yuan to answer, then continued: "Last time you came to the Central Plains, in addition to passing on information, you also tried to resonate with the Central Plains Taoist scriptures and transform your spiritual roots, right?"
The colorful bird stopped spinning when Qin Dong spoke, and then started spinning again after Qin Dong asked again.
Alas, as expected, these Central Plains high-level officials are so annoying. He guessed it before I even answered. What should I do now?
Qin Dong waited for a while and found that the colorful bird still had no intention of stopping, so he was about to open his mouth to speak. At this time, the colorful bird finally stopped spinning.
As if he was furious when facing a natural enemy, he "bared his teeth and claws" at Qin Dong and asked aggressively: "It's me, what do you want to do?"
Qin Dong was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but shook his head with a smile: "I have no intention of questioning, I am just curious, and I am asking for confirmation from your Excellency. After verification, the previous incident can be eliminated, and there is no need to waste manpower and material resources to investigate.
Already."
After hearing this, the colorful bird seemed to feel that he had done something wrong. His momentum suddenly weakened, and even the fried feathers did not explode. He flapped his wings slowly, turned his head up and down, left and right, and said: "That, indeed
It's me who has caused you so much trouble, I'm sorry."
Qin Dong smiled and said: "It's okay, this is their duty, just like Miss Caiyuan, it is also your duty to come to the Central Plains to send love and conduct reconnaissance, isn't it?"
The colorful bird flapped its wings quickly, nodded repeatedly and said: "Yes, yes, responsibilities, they are all responsibilities."
The lantern holder is indeed not simple.
There are actually agencies that specialize in gathering intelligence.
It's just that the person responsible for collecting intelligence...
Some are too naive.
This should be caused by the environment.
After all, in the Southern Barbarians, the first priority is survival, and the second priority is the barbarians. Even the barbarians will not directly contact them, but indirectly monitor and collect intelligence through the secret technique of controlling birds. As for
They probably couldn't even get in touch with the demon clan that ruled the southern barbarians.
The simplicity of the environment naturally creates a pure character.
Qin Dong then asked: "The lantern holder wants to send someone to the Central Plains. It is related to the safety of the Central Plains. There are some things that I have to ask about. Please forgive me, Miss Caiyuan."
The colorful bird flapped its wings slowly, hovering in front of Qin Dong, and said: "Ask me, I will tell you anything I can. We lantern-bearers have no ill intentions towards the Central Plains. Please believe us on this."
."
Qin Dong smiled and nodded: "I believe this, but the process must still be followed. Please forgive me."
Then, Qin Dong asked: "Is the person here a barbarian?"
The colorful bird shook his head and said: "No, they are people who practice the way of alchemy and martial arts or people who practice the way of civil and military affairs. I know what Dongshuai means, and I can guarantee that there is absolutely no life poison planted in their bodies."
In this way, the Lantern Man has already established its roots in the southern barbarian land.
There it is absolutely controlled and protected by the lantern.
It ensures that the people there still practice orthodox martial arts as in the Central Plains.
Thinking of the situation of the barbarians, Qin Dong could understand.
However, for the first time, I became deeply aware of the background of the Lantern Man.
After all, he was born in the army, and he knew how difficult it was to create a base completely under his control under the eyes of the demon clan in a place where enemies were everywhere and the living environment was harsh like the Southern Barbarians.
Qin Dong then asked: "Is it Ms. Caiyuan or someone else from the Lantern Man who came to protect the visitor?"
The colorful bird replied almost immediately: "It's me, they all have their own things to do and can't come."
them?
Sure enough, the lantern bearer also had people in charge of other matters.
Qin Dong tried to propose: "I can draw a place near the Changhe River within the control of the Zhennan Army for you to use. However, I need to send someone to monitor the whole process. This is just in case.
To ensure the safety and mutual trust between you and us, please forgive me Miss Caiyuan."
The colorful bird nodded without any hesitation and said: "Okay, we do things above board and we are not afraid of your supervision."
Qin Dong smiled and nodded in agreement.
"Then let's confirm the detailed time and place..."
…
Qin Yi dispersed the spirit seal, relieved the sympathy with Cai Yuan, and said with a chuckle: "Brother is doing things more and more safely, but he is a little suspected of bullying the little girl."
Qin Yi raised his head and looked forward.
"The Secret Realm of Cai Yuan."
Qin Yi looked up and down at the secret place in front of him that belonged to the man holding the lantern.
"Dragon Saint is really not a simple person. He already had the means to transform the secret realm so long ago."
Previously, the Lingxi Secret Realm was completely sealed.
This time, the Caiyuan Secret Realm has undergone a major transformation.
This level of transformation is completely different from the secret realm controlled by the Zhongyuan family.
The Zhongyuan family's transformation of the secret realm is only internal, and it is impossible to do it externally. Moreover, it is only a superficial transformation and cannot touch the core of the secret realm at all.
As for the Cai Yuan secret realm in front of him, Qin Yi not only saw traces of external transformation, but also very obviously touched the core of the secret realm.
"What effect does this kind of transformation have?"
Qin Yi hovered in front of Cai Yuan's secret realm, his eyes flashed with golden light, and different complex patterns appeared in the two holes. At the same time, he used the two major techniques of Feng Shui Formation Tong and Daowen Tong Tong, and observed carefully.
"First of all, the independence from heaven and earth is destroyed."
This secret realm and this world have always been in close interaction with high-dimensional energy.
"These high-dimensional energies... are very similar to the metal nature, but different... they are the same level of energy as the metal nature!"
Like gold, it is the energy of the soul dimension.
Coupled with the high-dimensional energy prevalent in the tomb of gods, Qin Yi named it - divinity.
Qin Yi's eyes flashed with solemnity.
"Divinity, this kind of energy, is too high-end and highly polluting. Surviving in such an energy-rich environment will be very harmful to the human body."
In the Huanglong secret realm controlled by the Qin family in Weishui, the tomb victims were eroded by the Huanglong's divinity and transformed into half-human and half-dragon. They needed to be suppressed by an altar made of cold jade beds in order to maintain their sanity.
Other aristocratic families are much the same.
In this regard, all major aristocratic families have conducted relevant research, but there has been no major progress in the past two thousand years.
On the contrary, the way of immortal martial arts pioneered by Qin Yi alleviated this problem somewhat because it involved the realm of souls.
For this reason, Qin Yicai never worried that the people of the aristocratic families hiding in the secret realm would not change their ways of cultivating immortals and martial arts.
"Dragon Saint actually found a way to excrete divinity out of the secret realm thousands of years ago? Tsk tsk, if those pretentious aristocratic families knew about this, wouldn't they die of shame?"
After discovering this, Qin Yi immediately understood Long Sheng's purpose of doing this.
"In order to prevent alienation from happening to the lantern holders who live in the secret realm?"
The Lantern Man lives in a land of four barbarians. Unlike the Aristocratic Family, he is surrounded by enemies on all sides. He cannot, like the Aristocratic Family, live on the surface for a period of time to alleviate this high-dimensional pollution. In order to better hide and survive, Long Sheng can only come from
Fundamentally put an end to this kind of pollution.
"This kind of transformation of the secret realm is from the inside out. The outside part is only a very small part. The most important part is still inside the secret realm."
After Qin Yi recorded the Feng Shui formation diagram and Dao Wen diagram of the Cai Yuan Secret Realm, he maintained the unity of heaven and man and the invisibility technique, and entered the Cai Yuan Secret Realm in a flash.
"In Ruoda's Cai Yuan Secret Realm, only a few dozen women survive?"
Qin Yi swept his consciousness and had a rough understanding of the number of people living in Cai Yuan's secret realm.
"It seems that this Cai Yuan inheritance is only suitable for women, not men."
Otherwise, the entire secret realm would not be filled with women.
Moreover, these women all have some traces of Cai Yuan's inheritance in their cultivation.
"This kind of inheritance specifically suitable for women, that is, the way of Longwu is still possible."
Other orthodox traditions are dominated by men.
There is nothing wrong with women at all.
Of course, even the Way of Dragon Martial Arts has only a very small number of inheritances that are suitable for women to practice.
Most of them are only suitable for men to practice.
Qin Yi did not disturb the people living in the secret realm. After walking around in a circle, Qin Yi finally had a deeper understanding of the transformation of the secret realm.
"Although I don't know what theory Long Sheng is to transform the secret realm, but according to my analysis of it using Feng Shui techniques, Dragon Saint uses the secret realm to connect with the underground dragon veins, and uses the underground dragon veins to absorb the secret realm of Cai Yuan.
Divine way.”
This method can not only maintain a reasonable concentration of divinity, but also effectively transform the living environment in the secret realm to be more suitable for the survival of the human race.
"It's the underground dragon vein again. It seems that Dragon Saint has done a lot of research on the underground dragon vein."
However, Dragon Saint's method of using underground dragon veins is completely different from Qin Yi's Feng Shui technique.
"He used... murals?"
Qin Yi looked up at the sky, his eyes shining with golden light, recording the "murals" on the inner wall of the secret wall that were like totems and invisible to ordinary people.
"These 'murals' are the core of Dragon Saint's transformation of the secret realm."
External transformation and internal transformation are only auxiliary.
"These murals seem to have a repair function. As long as there is enough energy, they can be repaired indefinitely."
The key is to maintain its energy.
If the energy is exhausted, development will be in vain.
"The energy that maintains these 'murals'...is actually the secret realm itself?"
After Qin Yi argued carefully, he got an unexpected and reasonable answer.
"No wonder, after thousands of years, there have been no mission problems with Dragon Saint's transformation."
As long as no one changes these murals, the depth of the divinity of the Cai Yuan Secret Realm will remain very low, and the Cai Yuan lineage of the Lantern Man can survive forever.
"However, there is one thing that makes people wonder. Since Long Sheng has such means, why was the Lingxi Secret Realm sealed instead of transformed?"
After pondering for a moment, Qin Yi analyzed: "There are only three explanations."
"It may be that Lingxi is in front and Caiyuan is behind. When dealing with Lingxi Secret Realm, Dragon Saint's level is still too low, so he can only deal with it like that. If he wants to change it later, it will be too troublesome, so he can only keep it as it is."
"Perhaps, the divinity of the Lingxi Secret Realm is too special and is very different from the divinity in the ordinary secret realm. Even the Dragon Saint is not sure about it, so he has to seal it."
"There is a very small probability that Long Sheng did this on purpose and had a deeper and unknown purpose."
Thinking of the end, Qin Yi suddenly laughed.
"If it's the first two situations, it's fine. If it's the last situation, it would be interesting..."
Qin Yi recorded all of this, and his figure flashed to the center of the secret realm. Qin Yi looked at the bronze hall.
"The center of the secret realm is the most important part of the internal transformation, and it has been specially designed so that no one else can enter except those who meet the requirements."
Of course Qin Yi didn't meet the requirements, but this arrangement couldn't stop him.
A transparent barrier as tall as a person appeared on Qin Yi's body. He ignored Dragon Saint's arrangement and stepped into the bronze hall.
"The carvings inside this hall..."
Qin Yi originally planned to go directly through the Bronze Hall and go to the place where the colorful kite beast was shed, but when he saw these murals, he couldn't help but slow down.
"The Dragon Saint's legacy..."
"The origin of martial arts..."
"The history of the lantern bearer..."
"The life story of Cai Yuan through the ages..."
"Chronicles of Major Events in the Central Plains..."
Unknowingly, Qin Yi had reached the end of the murals. Looking back at these murals, Qin Yi couldn't help but sigh: "These historical inheritance are the foundation for the longevity of the human race."
These inheritances contain the essence and spirit of the human race. As long as these inheritances are still there, the Lantern Man Caiyuan lineage, no matter where they live, no matter how far away from the Central Plains, will still be the same as the Central Plains human race, and will always be the purest human race.
Facts have also proven this. The Lantern Man has lived in the barbaric lands of the four barbarians for thousands of years, and still maintains his original intention to protect the Central Plains. He has gone through many hardships and has not changed.
In this regard, the lantern holder does it better than the aristocratic family.
Recalling the life stories of Cai Yuan in past dynasties, and the rich feelings hidden between the lines, Qin Yi suddenly felt something in his heart.
"Perhaps, it is precisely because they are far away from the Central Plains, living in hiding under the rule of the demon clan, and seeing the numbness and miserable current situation of the human race who are fed by the demon clan, that their hearts will become purer and their beliefs will become stronger.
