Chapter 674 The power of divine craftsmanship and the wonder of Tianhe!
After the war, everything was devastated.
Thick smoke billowed outside the cracked city gate, and various smells spread and made people sick, lingering day and night.
After a series of battles, all the men and horses at Lanshang Pass were exhausted, and it was their limit to collect the corpses of their comrades. As for the remains of the aliens, they were naturally burned to the ground.
"Nothing in the world is more cruel than this."
In the Banshang Pass, on a flat martial arts field, the disheveled Qi Changfa sighed.
He didn't come to block Shangguan voluntarily, but after arriving, he naturally couldn't just sit idly by.
However, the plague was so big and so severe that he was unaware of it and had no time to prepare. If he hadn't practiced it himself, he would have been able to survive, and his bones would have been cold.
But he is still alive after all...
"Ahem~"
Lin An helped his brother, Lin Jing suffered from the plague. If Qin Si had not intervened, he would not have been able to survive for a few days. At this time, the injury seemed to be getting better.
"Miss Qin."
Seeing Qin Si, Qi Changfa took the initiative to salute.
"Sir, you don't need to be polite."
Looking at the smoke billowing outside the city, Qin Si felt a little absent-minded.
As the place where the plague first appeared, Lanshan Pass was severely damaged. More soldiers and civilians died from the plague than died on the battlefield in more than a year.
This plague was premeditated and did not appear at first. By the time it was discovered, it had spread to more than ten urban areas and even military camps.
Even if Fang Zhenghao and Feng Junzi dealt with it properly, the casualties were still heavy. There is still plague in the city at this moment, but those who can support it until now are mostly warriors, and there are not many.
In one day and night, the treatment was almost complete.
"Brother Yang has the power to rival a martial sage and the ability to fly to the sky and escape from the earth, so nothing will happen to him."
Seeing her thoughts, Lin An said hurriedly.
During the months when the plague was raging, there were heavy casualties in Lanshan Pass. His brother, Qi Changfa, was isolated in a barracks. If Qin Si hadn't rescued him, he might not have been able to survive this time.
Naturally, I am very grateful.
"Yes, Miss Qin, don't worry."
Lin Jing was still a little weak, but his spirit was very good. In the past few months, he almost thought he was dead.
The horror of the plague lies in the fact that there is no cure.
"Um."
Qin Si reluctantly responded.
"Miss Qin, this is a small gadget that I carved in my spare time. If you don't mind it, please accept it..."
It was a dark red and black object, square in shape, and as thick as an iron ingot. Qin Si couldn't help but feel something in her heart when she looked at it:
"I don't know what this thing is?"
The two brothers Lin An had already secretly told her who Qi Changfa was.
What is this that can make such a big shot in charge of Tiangongyuan cherish it?
"This thing, I call it 'Tianhe'."
Mentioning this item, Qi Changfa's smile couldn't help but contain a bit of pride and emotion.
Only he himself knows how many times he tried, how many detours he took, and how many rare treasures he spent on this object.
"Trina?"
Before Qin Si opened her mouth, Lin An was thinking quickly and was already guessing:
"Unity of man and nature?"
"You boy, you are quite a slippery boy!"
Seeing him yelling, Qi Changfa couldn't help but glance at him, and then nodded:
"That's right! The principle I used to carve this thing comes from the 'unity of man and nature' that only great master-level warriors can get involved in..."
"Is it possible that by taking this object, we can enter the realm of unity between heaven and man?"
Lin Jingdu's eyes widened.
What is the unity of nature and man?
According to legend, this is a state that only great masters with many years of experience can enter. It is an indispensable step toward the gate of martial sage, and many great masters cannot understand it.
However, he thought his guess was bold enough, but Qi Changfa just sneered:
"The divine arm crossbow and Thunder Fire Pill that I improvised at random are enough to threaten the Martial Saint. Is this 'exotic treasure' that I spent decades carving just to become a great master?"
He, of course, disdains it.
Even if he himself has not yet become a Grandmaster, for him, creating a great Grandmaster or even a Martial Saint is not something he can be proud of.
"I wonder what the magical use of 'Trina' is, sir?"
Qin Si's eyes lit up.
She is not very interested in gold, silver, treasures, etc., but if it can improve her martial arts practice, it would be too precious...
“To understand ‘Heaven’s Harmony’, we must understand what the unity of heaven and man is.”
Qi Changfa pondered for a moment and spoke in as simple a tone as possible:
"Everyone knows that there are many views on the so-called unity of nature and man. Among them, Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism are the most deeply rooted in people's hearts. However, my understanding is different from theirs. Of course, it is also the opinion of the same family."
"Throughout the ages, it is called the universe, and all directions are called the universe. I believe that the heaven and the earth itself are composed of all things in the world, and they also carry all the mysteries and qi..."
At first, Qi Changfa's explanation was relatively simple and easy to understand, but later, not to mention the two brothers Lin An, even Qin Si was confused.
This is different from what the world says.
In Qi Changfa's understanding, heaven and earth are just a "message group" that contains endless mysteries, and the so-called unity of heaven and man means that the spirit of the practitioner is consistent with a certain piece of information.
In his words, it is a 'thread' that exists in the void but is invisible to the naked eye...
Therefore, one can develop wisdom and realize the Tao.
This statement had never been heard by the three of them, and they found it a bit shocking.
"Don't you understand this?"
Seeing the three people, mainly Qin Si, who seemed a little confused, Qi Changfa frowned slightly and said:
"The passing geese leave traces, and the passing people leave their shadows. When all things arise and die in the world, they will always leave traces, just like the 'fairy and demon illusions' that have emerged one after another in recent years. The fundamental reason is not that immortals and demons have this ability to survive, but that
Their birth and death also belong to the pulse of heaven and earth..."
"..."
The two brothers looked at each other.
Qin Si, on the other hand, was thoughtful. She had entered the fantasy realm of immortals and demons: "According to your wishes, this 'Tianhe' can receive the 'message' from the underworld?"
"Yes! I have been working on this for decades. However, I have always lacked the means to touch and tie the 'thread' in the dark. It was not until a few years ago that I obtained an 'absorbable spiritual energy' in Longyuan Palace.
'Token..."
Qi Changfa let out a long breath and was quite pleased:
"This piece of 'Tianhe' is my attempt. It can capture the mysterious 'lines' and spiritual energy day and night..."
"... Just tell me directly, what is the use of this thing?"
Lin An really couldn't bear it any longer.
What the hell is this nonsense...
"……Um……"
Qi Chang was speechless in French, and after a long while he said:
"In terms of use, if you hold this thing, if you are lucky, you can receive the insights from masters throughout the ages who have entered the realm of unity between heaven and man..."
"You mean, holding this thing is equivalent to occasionally getting advice from masters of the past and present?"
Lin Jing was a little stunned.
"...bad, almost."
Qi Changfa gave up.
It seems impossible for them to understand how great this thing is...
"This thing is so valuable..."
Qin Si was a little frightened.
Lin An and others only thought of the martial arts masters of the past and present, but if we go further, there are immortals, Buddhas and monsters...
"There is no way to repay the kindness of saving a life."
Qi Changfa said solemnly.
In his life, he disliked receiving favors from others the most, let alone life-saving favors.
"This younger generation deserves to receive this thing with shame."
Qin Si was a little moved, but after thinking about it, she still refused. No matter what he said, she just refused.
After refusing several times, Qi Changfa was helpless and sighed:
"Miss Qin insists on not accepting it. She probably wants me to serve your King Yang, right? It's just that the northwest is bitterly cold, so I'm afraid..."
"I don't dare to repay a favor, but I just want to ask the elder to go with the junior to the northwest road..."
Qin Si did not hide anything.
After knowing who Qi Changfa was, she had this idea. If such a person stayed on the Northwest Road, he would be a big help to Brother Yang.
"That's fine."
Qi Changfa had no choice but to agree: "It's just that, as I said before, when we reach the northwest road, Miss Qin can no longer force me to stay..."
"It should have been like this a long time ago!"
Seeing him relent, Lin An immediately smiled:
"What kind of person is Dongyue Tie Hengliu? I'm just hearing about it, but the day before yesterday, my brother Yang had three arrows to block the mountain and retreated the Martial Saint with all his strength, but you also saw it!"
His former colleague suddenly became the master of his group and an extremely powerful person. Some people were sad, some were envious, but Lin An only felt honored.
He also gave me advice along the way.
"I have accepted the trip to the northwest, but Miss Qin should accept it. Perhaps it will be of great help to your martial arts."
Qi Changfa glanced at Lin An, turned around and left, but still left 'Tianhe' behind.
Qin Si hesitated slightly, but accepted it. The former's last words really touched her.
After a few people left, Qin Si also returned to the small courtyard. The Taoist had already packed everything for her, and Kuni was also sent by him to take care of her daily life.
"I wonder when Brother Yang will return? I think he will be very interested in this thing, right?"
Talking to herself, Qin Si played with the heavy 'Tianhe'.
The object was completely smooth and weighed about thirty kilograms. I didn’t know what material it was made of, but it was very smooth. She looked over and over, but couldn’t see anything.
If others saw it, they would probably just think of it as an iron ingot.
Buzz~
Suddenly, a trembling sound came.
Qin Si hesitated slightly, but still followed Qi Changfa's instructions and placed her fingers on the iron ingot.
Wow!
The next moment, she felt her body light up, as if she had flown high into the sky. She was startled, and when she looked intently, she saw darkness in front of her eyes.
There is only a faint line spreading towards the void.
"This is……"
Qin Si was a little surprised.
She was actually skeptical about Qi Changfa's words. After all, it was a bit unbelievable to connect ancient and modern things.
But at this moment, she had to believe it a little bit.
Wow!
Suddenly, the sound of water sounded in her ears.
Immediately, I ‘heard’ an old man’s sad sigh:
"The legendary world of heaven and earth, the first world of ten tribulations. Unfortunately, I'm late..."
"This is how fate should be, so what can I do?"
"It's a pity that this great magical power catalog of 'Taishi Mountain' has no separation between the two realms, no separation between the two realms... Anyway, just sleep with me in the Dragon Palace of the Wild Realm...
