Chapter 858: Endless Life
Speaking of the state of Yu, Chen An's first reaction was naturally the neighboring country of the Kingdom of Yu, and the Tianyuan feudal country that was canonized by the Son of Heaven in general. However, he did not jump to conclusions, but took the patience to carefully consult the relevant classics.
Because there is no calendar, there is no chronology, I don't know how many years have passed from the middle of the Dark Ages to now, and time has passed, and the so-called "Yu" city-state may not be today's Yu country, and it is very common for ancient and modern places to have different names.
Sure enough, under his careful comparison, the current Yu State and the Yu City-State of the past are not matched at all, it seems to be near several small countries in the extreme west, as for the specific location, there is no way to determine it with only a few pages of incomplete ancient books.
"Looks like we'll have to go and check it out on the spot. ”
Chen Anxin summed up, but his eyes looked at the door of the study and said, "Since you're here, come in." ”
As his words fell, Yi Tong's figure directly crossed the closed door and appeared in front of Chen An, this time she did not hide her appearance, the goose-yellow cardigan dress showed a feminine and feminine state, and when she saw Chen An, she greeted first: "Shangqing, don't come unharmed." ”
Chen An frowned and said, "For your request, I have given you as much convenience as possible, what else are you going to do?"
The bloodline magnates were made a little noisy by the existence of the "Mysterious Star Venerable", so that the warlocks wandering in the Danshu Royal City were extremely tightly controlled, even if they were not for the purpose of killing and arresting, there were still some drives and threats.
The trend of the times, even Pu Wen and other extremely enlightened Shangqing did not dare to have too much contact with the warlocks on the cusp of this storm, and gave them a little convenience in their fiefdoms in accordance with the previous agreement.
During this time, Chen An also did the same, providing warlocks with convenient transportation, activity locations, helping them buy research materials, and sell related items. Doing so also allowed Nanheguo to have more gray income, which was actually not beneficial to Chen An himself.
What he wanted had to come into direct contact with the Warlocks.
But Danshu Wangcheng is so strict, and he can't give up the Shiqu Pavilion in the palace, so he has not been able to make the trip until now.
But he didn't want to, he didn't go to the other party, the other party would come to him.
"This time, I still want to ask Shangqing for a favor. ”
"What's the busy?"
Yi Tong didn't have the consciousness of being regarded as a plague god at all, and said bluntly: "We want to transport a batch of materials into the royal city, it may be a little troublesome, so come over and say hello to Shangqing in advance." ”
"What do you want to do?"
Chen An's face was vigilant, but in fact, what he muttered in his mind was: It's my business. As the secretary of the kingdom of Qiu, he still has to be vigilant in the face of warlocks on the surface.
But Yi Tong no longer eats his set, and she is also a little vigilant, she may have the shortcomings of being a woman who is easy to be emotional, but she is very able to sum up lessons and grow wise.
The bad memory of being led by Chen An's nose last time surfaced in her heart, making her a little suspicious of Chen An's deliberate performance.
Gradually retracted the expression on his face, looked at Chen An seriously, and said frankly: "We want to save someone in the dungeon of the Falling Star Pavilion. ”
"Still coming?" Chen An raised his eyebrows and said, "Didn't you destroy the entire Star Council last time?"
Yi Tong's face remained unchanged and said: "That was the last time, this time the person we want to save is just transferred from the Lu country, and he is also temporarily staying in the Yu country, and he will be sent to the big star sky in the near future." ”
"Who deserves to be mentioned by Da Xingtian like this? Aren't their attitudes towards you all based on killing?" Chen An was a little curious, but before he asked, he said, "Forget it, you don't need to answer me, I'm not interested in your affairs." As for the material you mentioned, I will pay attention to it, and you just have to wait to accept it. ”
Itong was stunned for a moment and didn't react.
The matter of smuggling materials can be big or small, once the incident happens, even if the other party is the honor of the emperor, he has to eat and fall, and even a bad one may follow in the footsteps of the previous generation of Nan and Bo.
Although after the last incident, Da Xingtian's attitude towards the bloodline nobles has been greatly eased, but who can say this kind of thing well?
The other party agreed to such a big thing without even asking, it's incredible, with Yitong's understanding of Gongsun Jingyang, the other party is by no means a good gentleman who is kind to others, and there must be a demon when things go wrong.
She was a little incredulous and tentative: "Shangqing just agreed?"
"Of course not. ”
Chen An choked Yi Tong and rolled his eyes at a word, and just when the latter couldn't help but show an annoyed expression, he added: "I have always advocated mutual benefit, and even if I don't say anything about what you ask for, you should know how big the risk is, so should you also help me with one thing in return?"
Yi Tong's eyes narrowed, and he felt that this was like a normal Gongsun Jingyang, and couldn't help asking, "I don't know what Shangqing commands?"
Chen An quietly glanced at the various materials spread out on the table, and said, "I have been very interested in the history of the countries south of Yinxu recently, and I want to verify the traces of the existence of the dark city-state there, I wonder what help you can provide?"
Yi Tong frowned a little puzzled, he didn't understand how the other party could be interested in this kind of thing, you must know that even the most idle magician among the warlocks is rarely interested in this kind of thing, so he has nothing to do when he is full.
She wanted to ask, but just now Chen An made it clear that she didn't care about her, and it was really unreasonable for her to open her mouth to ask Chen An now.
After pondering like this for a long time, she said: "Last time, we copied the Star Council and rescued some of them in the underground black prison of the Stargazing Tower's Meteorite Pavilion, some of our fellow Daoists, among them, there is a Fang Shi from the land of Weiheng south of Yin Ruins, maybe he can give Shangqing some help." ”
Warlock is a relatively broad concept, and anyone who has a skill is a warlock, and this sentence already explains a lot. Therefore, a spiritual master who walks yin and yang and masters the five elements can be called a warlock, a heavenly master who understands the compassion of the common people in the heart of heaven can be called a warlock, an earth master who seeks dragons and points and establishes a fashion can be called a warlock, and a monk who seeks immortality by unscrupulous means can also be called a warlock.
In fact, the Fang Priest is also a despised and even hated existence in the Warlock cluster, so when Yi Tong talks about some of his colleagues, he is really a little reluctant.
Chen An didn't think so much like Yi Tong, he was overjoyed when he heard the words, he only felt that his expectations had been settled, and he used the phaseless algorithm to calculate that it was most appropriate to use this identity to explore the secret, but he didn't want it to be so, this was simply a sleepy pillow.
"Okay, that's it. ”
He put the matter to rest, and then asked, "By the way, I don't know what that alchemist is good at?"
In fact, a monk is just a title like a warlock, not a profession, he can be a spirit master or an earth master, but he is greedy to enrich himself for the purpose of seizing, and he is despised by others.
The three major sects of the Youtian Alliance had no choice but to include the Seven Veins Fangshi into the alliance, which did greatly increase their own strength, but it was also criticized by the world, that is, from that time on, the bloodline magnates began to drift away from the Youtian Alliance, and they had the position of fully supporting the Great Star Heaven today.
"She's an eight-star witch. Itong hesitated, but finally told the truth.
Chen Anxin said Sure enough, the three major sects didn't really choose their partners at the beginning, although the seven veins were all seeking immortality, they were all more orthodox, if they belonged to them, Yi Tong would not be so embarrassed.
There are still some alchemists in this world, all outside the seven veins, with grotesque behaviors and cruel methods, which are not tolerated by the world, and wizards are the mainstream among them.
Especially the blood witch, life witch, and corpse witch among the wizards, in Chen An's opinion, they are all people who cannot die well, and it is not wrong for nine out of ten to send them directly to hell.
But now that I want to use the other party, it's different, I just sigh that the other party is not a geographer or a corpse witch's profession, and can't help much in exploring the ruins.
After sending Yi Tong away, he took the initiative to go out and pay attention to the batch of materials that the other party said. This is actually a small thing, he can do it casually, and the difficulty is only in the risk that needs to be borne.
But Chen An didn't care at all, the big deal was to expose his level of the Ten Star Source Master.
For a nine-star, you can not care about all aspects, but the ten-star source master is different, that is a superior who does not need to be crowned. If a nine-star is dead, he will die, but for a ten-star source master, in many cases, it is difficult to sentence him to death even if there is conclusive evidence.
Besides, this time Chen An is determined to go to the south of Yinxu in person, if he can get something that satisfies him, it is not impossible to directly abandon the identity of Gongsun Jingyang, then what else is there to care about. The right is not used at the moment, and it will be invalid when it expires.
Therefore, he didn't pay too much attention to covering it up, so he helped the warlocks to smuggle materials.
After turning around, Chen An returned to the study, continued to bury himself in the pile of old papers, memorized some relevant information, and focused on the conjecture of the source force.
Much like the martial arts of the central realm, the scriptures and chapters contain the principles of the whole world, and while the martial arts practice understands these truths, it can get twice the result with half the effort. This world seems to be the same, just like the conjecture about creation that Chen An began to see.
The spiritual masters believe that the sea is the source of life, and then the land is elevated, which means that the earth is better than water, the vegetation is flourishing, covering the land, representing the wood is better than the earth, and then the man-made tools are cut down and the houses are built, which represents the gold is better than the wood, and finally the fire creates civilization, and the whole is the rotation of the five elements.
In other words, the five elements are the original source power, and it is they that give birth to life and civilization, and this is the most basic Tao of this world, the Tao that belongs to the spirit master.
And Chen An also saw the essence of the source power from it.
Endless growth is the source of power.
The life of the star master is endless, drawing on the power of the stars, and the life of the spirit master is endless, and the cycle is repeated......
So what does it mean to be endless?
When Chen An looked at the classics in his hand, it suddenly became clear in his heart, it was historical information, civilization, inheritance, from the bloodline, and belonged to the traces of ancestors.
