- Bamboo slips, which have been in use since the pre-Qin period, vary in length from a dozen centimeters to more than half a meter, and characters are carved on them with a knife.
The piece in Wang Xuan's hand is golden, with a warm luster under the light.
It is eight centimeters long, three centimeters wide, and two centimeters thick, and its length is shorter.
It is heavy and very overwhelming, and it can be expected that it will sink when it enters the water.
What is engraved on the golden bamboo slips is not words, but several patterns, a creature with a human head and a snake body, presenting different postures.
He has long hair hanging loose, and it is impossible to tell whether he is a man or a woman. There is a posture of a snake coiled up, and there is also an engraved picture of Him rolling on the ground. There is also a picture of a snake tail on the ground, standing upright like a sharp sword towards the sky.
There are no words on the bamboo slips, only a few engraved pictures, and it can't be seen that it has any relationship with the old technique. At least Wang Xuan didn't find its value.
"I can't understand it, I can't understand it. It has been in my hands for many years, and I have been playing with it as jade." The middle-aged man wearing a blue mask said.
He has short, thick hair and sits there quietly.
"I got too little. A bunch of golden bamboo slips fell into the hands of the chaebol on Xinxing's side. I only won two pieces back then." He said flatly.
Wang Xuan is convinced that this is a master, and his achievements in old techniques are probably very amazing.
He dared to snatch food from a tiger's mouth, compete with the men and horses sent by the chaebol, and take away two yuan, which is not easy.
This kind of bamboo slips is regarded as a rare item even in Xinxing. After the major organizations obtained it, they have been kept secret since then, and they are all studied in secret, so it is difficult for outsiders to see it.
"Has anyone analyzed anything at Xinxing?" Wang Xuan asked.
"I don't know." The short-haired middle-aged man spoke briefly, unwilling to talk about this topic again.
For a while, the room fell into silence.
Wang Xuan met him two years ago, and it was also at that time that he first knew and saw the dark areas in this peaceful city.
? On the ninth basement floor of a certain landmark building, there is an old art competition every Friday night. The contestants fight in an iron cage, and the blood is extremely bloody. The loser usually loses his limbs.
And the stands outside the iron cage were full of people of unknown identities, all wearing masks, both men and women, watching the fierce competition, roaring and screaming, excitement and chaos blended together.
Wang Xuan rejected the middle-aged man on the spot, and clearly told the other party that he would never walk in a gray area. He liked the study of old arts, but he would not show "bloody art" to others.
The short-haired middle-aged man smiled at the time and told him that he was just showing him another side of the city. The real world was far from what he usually saw.
And the bloody actual battle in the iron cage has little to do with them, they just occasionally pick potential seedlings.
As for them, they are a group of explorers.
What they have to experience is far more thrilling, exciting, mysterious, and even terrifying than this iron cage match, because they have entered the starry sky and are not limited to the old land.
The middle-aged man told him that no matter in terms of future or strength, explorers are very brilliant, far from being comparable to those people and organizations wandering in gray areas.
During that time they chatted several times, but Wang Xuan still rejected him.
The middle-aged man with short hair left him a golden business card, telling him that if he changes his mind after graduation, he can come here to find him.
And as early as that time, that is, two years ago, the middle-aged man with short hair predicted that the old art experimental class would inevitably be disbanded, and this investment project would be stranded.
"Why did you find me?" Wang Xuan asked him seriously back then.
The middle-aged man with short hair told him that it was the investment project of the old art experimental class that first attracted his attention. Then, he observed everyone in the class, and in the end he only took a fancy to two people.
Others in the class are not determined enough and doubt the old techniques. Even if they go down the old path, their achievements will be limited.
In fact, after Wang Xuan embarked on the road of old techniques, he was out of control, and he succeeded in collecting qi and internally nourishing his body in just a few years.
The middle-aged man with short hair believes that Wang Xuan has great potential, and he will probably have extraordinary achievements on the road of old arts.
This organization is relatively free and loose, but its strength is beyond doubt. At the same time, it is very mysterious. Its tentacles have already entered the starry sky and can reach new stars.
"During the formal introduction, you can call me Aoki." The short-haired middle-aged man wearing a blue mask broke the silence.
"Do I count as joining in this way?" Wang Xuan asked.
Aoki said: "Not counting, you are one of the potential seedlings I have selected in recent years, but you are not the only one."
"Do you have to pass any tests?"
"Yes, this is an existing rule. Although I am optimistic about you, I cannot change it."
Aoki, a middle-aged man with short hair, told him that there would be an expedition within two days, which could be used as his assessment, and asked him whether he would participate.
"Participate!" Wang Xuan nodded.
"After joining us, you have a general understanding of what you will experience before, but now I still want to emphasize that what does exploration mean? Naturally, there will be dangers, and even life-threatening risks. You have to think about it."
Wang Xuan said: "No problem, I have thought it through."
Aoki was very serious, and said: "You can live here, we must make sure that no news will be leaked before this, because this operation is very important!"
Wang Xuan expressed his understanding, and it is no problem to stay here.
Holding the golden bamboo slips in his hand, he looked at Aoki behind the mahogany desk and said, "Can I ask some questions?"
Aoki said: "See what the problem is. If some amazing secrets are involved, even if you successfully join us, you need an equivalent exchange."
Wang Xuan asked: "I want to know, is the end of the old art path the top alchemist, and there is really no way to go?"
Aoki sighed, and said: "I understand your feelings, because I also started from practicing old techniques. This road is too difficult, and it takes countless hard work and sweat. It takes decades, and it is difficult to achieve success. The highest peak is the alchemist, and the end has been determined."
Sure enough, it is the same answer, the same conclusion as the life research on Nova's side.
"In fact, the most pessimistic thing is that even if you already know where the end of the road is, few people can reach that height. It¡¯s completely gone since then.¡±
The old techniques are declining more and more, alchemists have long been legends, and it is difficult to spy on them.
"The location where the alchemist is standing is the end of the road. Has no one tried to continue exploring?" Wang Xuan asked.
"It's easier said than done. For generations, even true alchemists have never been able to appear again. How dare future generations dare to think about this." Aoki shook his head bitterly, and said: "In ancient times, there were some powerful people who wanted to continue to deduce the road. But unfortunately, no one has ever succeeded.¡±
"Why are those alchemists able to push the old techniques to the extreme, so that the latecomers will never be able to surpass them?" Wang Xuan asked.
"Do you think it is the result of several alchemists' hard work? No, it is the result of generations of powerful alchemists who have continuously perfected the old techniques. In the end, there is really no way out, and the top alchemists may be ancient humans. The strongest individual in the world."
That night, Aoki asked Wang Xuan to prepare various equipment needed for the expedition, including alloy knives, daggers, protective clothing, imitation human skin masks, etc.
In addition, there are thermal weapons!
They set off in the early morning of the next day. They first came outside the city, boarded a small spaceship in a secret manor, and headed to Mount Qingcheng.
The small spaceships are very advanced, and the old earth's satellites cannot detect them.
It was the first time for Wang Xuan to sit in this kind of spaceship, and he felt very novel about everything, but he just observed calmly without asking random questions.
He felt that he had a lot to learn.
Aoki personally participated in the operation, which shows that he attaches great importance to this operation.
Apart from Wang Xuan, there were four other people who were traveling with them, all wearing imitation human skin masks, and they didn't know what their real expressions were.
Aoki said: "The target is Mount Qingcheng. This time there are chaebols on the Xinxing side who are secretly digging in the mountain. Our target is also there!"
"What was found in Qingcheng Mountain that attracted the new star chaebol?" Someone asked.
Before the action, they have been kept in secrecy. Even they didn't know the destination earlier.
Aoki was very serious, and said: "Someone seems to have discovered some remarkable records from the bamboo slips left by a certain alchemist from the pre-Qin period, and the target was directed at Mount Qingcheng."
"Are they still interested in the inheritance of warriors?" Someone questioned, the new star has super skills, and the old skills have been officially abandoned.
Aoki was very solemn, and said: "On the deciphered bamboo slips, there are some secrets recorded. It seems that Qingcheng Mountain has something that makes alchemists excited and excited, so this time the chaebol came secretly again."
Several people were so excited that even Wang Xuan's heart skipped a beat. There is a new discovery in Mount Qingcheng? Let the alchemists worry about it, maybe it has something to do with Lie Xian? !
The top powerhouse among the alchemists is considered to be an immortal.
But there are also people who disagree, thinking that it is more mysterious and powerful than alchemists.
"People from the Zhou family and Ling family dug into the underground palace, and they found their target!" Aoki whispered, just now he got the latest secret report.
Wang Xuan's heart skipped a beat, who are those two? !
The time is not too long, and they are close to their destination.
Qingcheng Mountain is known as one of the four famous mountains of Taoism and one of the five great fairy mountains.
It is also considered to be one of the birthplaces of Taoism. Zhang Daoling once preached in Qingcheng Mountain. There is a saying that he finally emerged in this mountain.After digging into the underground palace, I found the target! "Aoki whispered, just now he got the latest secret report.
