Everyone was thoughtful when they heard this, Xu Xingkong nodded and said:

"So, only the absolute number of the strong can be reduced?"

He Zhi smiled, and the meaning in his smile was a little complicated:

"Reduction, the predecessors have done more than we thought, in fact, the strongest cultivators today are only in the soul refining stage, and the great power of the ancient period has already reached the strong stage of merging the Dao, that is really..."

Xu Xingkong's eyes lit up, He Zhiwei's statement happened to be consistent with his guess, in fact, there was no need for He Zhiwei to confirm it personally, Xu Xingkong had discovered the truth of the matter from many clues, those ancient powers, really took the initiative to cut off the Dao system of cultivation, and what surprised Xu Xingkong the most was that even the strong man of the demon clan made the same move.

However, unlike the Terrans, the Demon Race wants to prevent its descendants from becoming too powerful, and the way is to make a fuss about the bloodline inheritance, which is obviously more convenient than the Terrans cutting off the inheritance of knowledge.

"So, the seniors are the ones who guard the precious knowledge, not the tombs?"

Xu Xingkong's words made everyone else present startled, and a lot of thoughts involuntarily appeared in their hearts, after all, every cultivator hopes that they will continue to become stronger and move towards a higher stage, which is basically the most universal value of cultivation, so when they heard that the path of progress was actually around them, everyone was inevitably a little excited.

He Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Xu Xingkong deeply, and said:

"You're guessing right, but we are indeed guarding the tomb, and at the same time, we are also guarding those inheritances, how about it, is Elder Xu interested in taking a look at this knowledge that is considered to be sealed?"

Xu Xingkong did not answer, but asked with some curiosity:

"Did you see it, senior?"

He Zhiwei shook his head:

"I'm just a grave keeper, and I'm not qualified to read that precious knowledge. ”

Xu Xingkong glanced at Lin Xiaofeng, who looked indifferent, and smiled:

"To be honest, I really want to see it, but I'm not sure if I should see it, do my seniors think I should see it?"

He Zhiwei did not answer Xu Xingkong's question, but took a sip of tea from the teacup and turned the topic in another direction:

"We also have the responsibility of supervising the Huaxia Dragon Vein, which Elder Xu must already know. ”

Xu Xingkong didn't care about He Zhiwei's jumping thoughts, but replied naturally:

"Yes, but I'm also thinking about it myself, and I don't know if it's right or not, and I ask my seniors to teach me. ”

He Zhiwei waved his hand:

"This is my duty, the so-called dragon vein, in fact, does not exist naturally, but with the gradual growth and growth of the intelligent life group on this land, its causes are very complex, but probably related to the thoughts and expectations between the races, prayers, etc., after the dragon vein gradually grows, it will assimilate a part of the spirit of ordinary life, forming a vein all over the Chinese civilization circle, as long as there is a place where intelligent life gathers, there will be the existence of dragon vein, the difference is only the size of the strength and weakness. ”

"Is it true that the stronger my Huaxia civilization, the stronger the dragon vein?"

"Yes. ”

"So other civilizations also have their own dragon veins?"

He Zhi smiled and nodded:

"Of course, especially the modern Western civilization and the YSL civilization, both have strong dragon veins, but both have shown signs of decline and division this year, while our Chinese dragon veins are rapidly recovering and growing. ”

At this time, Zhang Chaodong couldn't help but interject:

"Is that the competition of civilizations the competition of dragon veins?"

He Zhiwei glanced at Zhang Chaodong and shook his head indifferently:

"Not exactly, if you look at this problem from a higher perspective, in fact, they are all the dragon veins of the earth's civilization, and the different dragon veins are not completely isolated or competitive, but also have the aspect of integration and promotion, from our point of view, I mean the perspective of the same dragon vein guardians, we will not launch hostilities against each other's dragon veins, once we do this, it will be your mortal enemy. ”

Everyone nodded, Xu Xingkong still had a lot of questions in his heart, but he couldn't help but ask, he wanted to know what He Zhiwei wanted to say.

He Zhiwei glanced at everyone and continued:

"The power of the dragon vein is extremely powerful, everyone must have seen the grandeur of the city Guiyuan array, in fact, the city-level magic circle and the dragon vein cannot be compared at all. ”

When Xu Xingkong heard this, he immediately asked:

"Senior, but the dragon vein I saw in Zhongnan seems to be smaller than the scale of the city Guiyuan array, I mean the city circle of Pengcheng's level. ”

"Well, as I said earlier, the dragon veins are strong and weak, and what Elder Xu entered not long ago was only a very small branch vein, and because it had already been quoted and exposed to the surface, the strength of the dragon vein decreased extremely quickly. ”

"Did the senior say that the dragon vein would be interrupted?"

"No, it's just a shift, such as moving down, or diverting or something, and the dragon vein is very difficult to block, unless a powerful spiritual weapon is used, or large-scale engineering construction and must also be operated by the person in charge. ”

Xu Xingkong sensed a very key word from He Zhiwei's words, the person in charge!

"The person in charge that the predecessor said refers to the grave keeper?"

"Hehe, we are just guardians, not rulers, Elder Xu may know something about the rulers, right?"

Everyone's eyes looked at Xu Xingkong, especially the head of the Changying Dao, his eyes when he looked at Xu Xingkong were quite complicated, Xu Xingkong pondered for a moment and smiled:

"I seem to understand a little bit, the person in charge that the predecessor said is someone who can manipulate the dragon vein in a broad sense?"

"Broadly speaking, the word Elder Xu is used very well, which shows that Elder Xu has a correct understanding of the essence of the dragon vein, yes, using some skills or spiritual weapons, it is indeed possible to partially manipulate and quote the power of the dragon vein, such as what the Xuanyi Daoist did not long ago, but that is just the skin of the power of the dragon vein. And like Elder Xu's enshrinement of the Dragon God, it is the correct way to use the dragon vein. ”

Let's say, He Zhi looked at Xu Xingkong with a smile, except for Lin Xiaofeng, everyone else looked at Xu Xingkong with more or less shocked looks, Lin Xiaofeng's eyes were as calm as ever, but Xu Xingkong, who was familiar with Lin Xiaofeng, could see that Lin Xiaofeng was in a particularly good mood at the moment.

Xu Xingkong laughed dryly, touched his chin and said:

"The predecessor means that the object of the edict is not limited to the well-known demons or monsters, but also includes people, even unknown people, as long as the person in charge in a broad sense opens his mouth to seal it?"

"Yes, of course, the better the qualification of the object of the edict, that is, the higher the recognition in the Chinese civilization, the stronger the power it obtains, you can completely regard the edict as a bonus, as long as it is in the Chinese civilization circle, this bonus is everywhere all the time. ”

Xu Xingkong nodded, thought for a while, and said:

"Then there doesn't have to be only one person in charge?"

"Of course, any person who can influence the overall pattern of China may become the person in charge, and the influence I mean refers to the positive influence, and those who are anti-human and anti-Chinese are definitely not among them. ”

"Somebody's got to judge that, huh?"

He Zhiwei hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled:

"No, since the dragon vein is the sum of the consciousness and civilization inheritance of all living beings, why do you think it is ignorant?"

Xu Xingkong was shocked, and everyone was even more surprised that it was difficult to control themselves, the dragon vein turned out to be wise?

However, Xu Xingkong quickly broke free from the shock:

"Like the spirit of the city circle?"

He Zhiwei nodded and smiled:

"Yes, the spirit of the dragon vein does exist, but its wisdom is limited, to be precise, this spirit only has the ability to logical, not the ability to learn and the way of thinking, but it can judge who is good for its own existence and growth. ”

Xu Xingkong frowned and said:

"I've always thought that the more powerful the energy level of the Yuan Spirit Aggregate, the more difficult it is to produce wisdom, so there is a limit to the monster strength that can be awakened, and the same is true for the spirit of the city array, it is difficult to produce real wisdom, is there anything worth thinking about, senior?"

He Zhiwei's eyebrows twitched slightly, and he nodded and said:

"Yes, it seems that Elder Xu has figured it out, yes, it's because the purity of the Yuan Spirit is at fault, in fact, several of the great powers of the ancient period were born from the dragon veins, such as Bai Ze, the ancestor of the Xuanyuan clan and the Bai clan, the dragon veins at that time were relatively pure. ”

Xu Xingkong was stunned, and then looked at the white-haired old Taoist priest with a little narrow eyes, and the Changying Taoist gently pulled the corners of his mouth, of course he understood what Xu Xingkong meant by that glance, Xu Xingkong was accusing the Yixue Research Society of going against the trend.

"Senior, that is to say, I have now become one of the leaders of the dragon vein, so as long as I don't die, I will be protected by the dragon vein?"

He Zhi smiled and nodded:

"You can say that, but luck is a very mysterious thing, no one can tell, if you don't take the initiative to quote the dragon vein, of course the dragon vein will not spontaneously protect you. ”

Xu Xingkong looked around thoughtfully, and then his mind moved, the scenery that was originally close to the end of the world suddenly disappeared, and what surrounded the circular enchantment of the end of the world was the vast starry sky, everyone looked at Xu Xingkong in surprise, Xu Xingkong grinned and said:

"I tried to move the space separated by the end of the world to the top of the earth, and I succeeded. ”

Everyone looked down, through the transparent ground, they could see the very familiar blue planet, the side could see the pitted moon, and on the right side of the top, there was the radiant sun, but the sunlight was weakened by the nearby end of the world, and it didn't look dazzling.

Although Xu Xingkong didn't elaborate, everyone knew that Xu Xingkong must have borrowed the power of the dragon vein just now, and he didn't expect that the power of the dragon vein could be extended to such a distance, it was really a terrifying power, of course, what was even more terrifying was the person who controlled this power.

He Zhiwei's expression remained unchanged, he believed that Xu Xingkong, a person who was recognized by the dragon vein, was definitely not a madman, and would never abuse the power of the dragon vein.

Xu Xingkong waved his hand, and everyone returned to the quiet Taoist temple annex in the blink of an eye, ignoring everyone's eyes, Xu Xingkong asked He Zhiwei with a smile:

"Senior, my wife has always told me that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, I want to ask the senior, what is the responsibility I should bear?"

He Zhi smiled slightly, shook his head and said:

"This question is stumped for me, Elder Xu is the one in charge, and he should know better than me what kind of responsibility I have to bear, but since Elder Xu asked, I might as well talk about my own shallow views for Elder Xu's reference. ”

Xu Xingkong nodded with a smile and looked at He Zhiwei expectantly.
