After a brief arrangement, Zhao Qing and his party quickly walked towards the Wild Goose Palace on the hill a few miles away, and noticed that the three stone halls were all built with an unknown material that looked like marble but had steel like gold essence and black mother, and the pillars of the main hall were full of ancient reliefs.

Each of the palace doors is a giant iron door of each ancient style, two zhang high, four zhang wide, about one foot thick, enough to weigh more than 300,000 catties, it takes ten second-rate good hands to barely push it open, and people can't help but feel shocked.

At the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, Kublai Khan's brother Si Hanfei studied the relief patterns on the pillars of the palace of the wild goose, he had been conquering the north and south for many years, had read countless classics, and walked all over the world, but for the things on the relief, he did not know anything, it can be seen that these strange birds and beasts are in a long time.

However, after all, this is the Yuan Dynasty hundreds of years later, and has not yet experienced the Anshi Rebellion, the Huangchao Uprising, and the Jingkang Rebellion, and the various ancient books preserved by the former Sui Dynasty, totaling 370,000 volumes, 77,000 categories, were ordered by Yang Guang to be hidden in the Daxing Jiaze Hall and the Luoyang Guanwen Palace, and most of them were not destroyed in the war as in history, and only more than 80,000 volumes were left in the Tang Dynasty.

It has to be said that the Sui Dynasty did make great contributions to culture, and Yang Jian issued an edict to "dedicate a book and reward a silk horse" to ask for books, so that the folk books left over from the division between the north and the south and the long-term war were re-included by the government, and the cultural inheritance of the pre-Qin and Han dynasties was restored;

In the period of Emperor Yang, although Yang Guang was not very good as the emperor, his personal literary and artistic level was still very good, he attached great importance to the collection of books, continued Yang Jian's policy, and carried out systematic sorting like the "Ten Chronicles of Hanshu" and "Wende Hall Catalog", and in just a few decades, the collection of books exceeded that of any previous dynasty.

This is also the reason why Shi Long, the "mountain pusher", saw Yu Wenhua and claimed to dedicate the "Recipe of Eternal Life" to Yang Guang, and suspected that Yang Guang might be able to interpret the contents, so he tried his best to resist and was unwilling to let the faint monarch prolong his life.

Due to the occupation of Luoyang and Daxing, Zhao Qing inherited the 370009 volumes of the Sui Dynasty's secretary provincial collection, and spent a considerable period of time to read more than 37,000 volumes of ancient books after the "Sui Daye Zheng Imperial Book Catalogue", including many lost books in later generations, such as "The Biography of the Zou Family", "The Biography of the Jia Family" and other Spring and Autumn history books, the history book of the former dynasty "Book of Zhou" written by the historian of the Qin State, the "Spring and Autumn Period of Chu and Han" written by Lu Jia, the military book "Xiang Wang" written by Xiang Yu, etc., which made her deeply feel the thickness of Chinese culture.

In fact, in the process of reading a large number of ancient books, Zhao Qing also had the idea of sorting them out like Ban Gu, and was ready to gather a large number of scholars to refine the essence of their thoughts after sorting them out;

"Mixing a hundred schools, taking from each school, inclusive, connecting and integrating", absorbing the ideas of Confucianism, Taoism, Mo and other hundreds of schools, integrating and innovating the ideas of different schools, so as to form their own Taoist school, similar to the situation where the master of the miscellaneous family, Lü Buwei, asked 3,000 disciples to co-author the "Lü's Spring and Autumn".

Although Zhao Qing is a Taoist, she does not fully agree with some negative concepts in Lao Zhuang's thought, on the contrary, she believes that Confucianism, law, Buddhism, ink and other ideas have advantages and values that cannot be ignored, and can supplement many areas that are not covered by Taoist classics.

Therefore, Zhao Qing devoted himself to taking the essence of these different schools, removing their dross, integrating them into one, and integrating them into the scientific thought and rigorous logic of the previous life, aiming to create a new school of doctrine based on Taoist thought, so as to be comparable to or even surpass the pre-Qin princes.

There is a saying in "Zuo Biography": "'There is virtue in the Tai, followed by meritorious service, and then there is speech', although it has not been abandoned for a long time, this is said to be immortal." If the husband keeps his surname and receives the name, in order to keep the ancestry, the world is endless, there is no country without it, and the great one of Lu cannot be described as immortal. ”

Since he has achieved the first two "immortals" of virtue and meritorious service in this world, Zhao Qing naturally tried to write books and words in the most perfect way, in addition to leaving a large number of martial arts classics, he also wanted to achieve certain achievements in ideology and achieve the "three immortals".

Previously, she integrated Taoist Buddhism and turned Buddhist sects such as Cihang Jingzhai and Jingnian Monastery into "Taoism" and submerged them into the new "Taoist League", which was precisely to spread this new school of thought and made preliminary preparations, so that the improved "New Taoism", or "New Miscellaneous School", became the mainstream thought of later generations;

At the same time, according to the interpretation and interpretation of heaven, earth, man and Tao by the "New Taoism" school, it will play a role in guiding its own practice like the Tao Te Ching, and no longer change the core of it due to the subsequent integration and absorption of other advanced ideas and advanced classics, so as to dredge the way forward in the future.

……

To get back to the point, due to having read all the thirty or forty thousand volumes of Zhengyu books, and reading a larger number of miscellaneous books such as pictures and texts, Zhao Qing's knowledge has also been greatly improved.

"Why are there several exotic beasts among them, which seem to be long-extinct ancient creatures such as saber-toothed tigers, giant rhinos, cave lions, etc., and even have patterns that resemble tyrannosaurs, pterosaurs, and plesiosaurs?"

"Is it that the Wild Goose Palace was established tens of millions of years ago, or have the ancient creatures not been completely extinct because of the extra heaven and earth aura, or have some masters obtained their information through some means?"

When Zhao Qing carefully observed the stone hall on the pillar of the temple, the clone controlled by her heart body god also figured out the corresponding mechanism and locked the entrance to the secret passage leading to the underground in the side hall.

Originally, he was going to use the polar cathode and yang qi to attack, trying to forcibly break a gap at the correct passage that continued over time, but when the two divine weapons of "Aurora" and "Cambrian" flew and circled, they were about to output the Yuan Magnetic Storm to crush the strange stones that had been blessed by the large array here;

With the sound of rolling, nine three-foot square entrances slowly appeared on the ground, neatly arranged in the center of the main hall, each entrance was about a zhang apart, and the inside was dark and dreary, as if leading to a bottomless deep pool leading to the netherworld.

Guessing from the simple shape of the Wild Goose Palace, Fu Cailin, who followed Zhao Qing and the others, couldn't help but move slightly in his heart, and his hand showed his world-famous sword, the sword was four feet five inches long and two inches wide, glowing with glowing blue light, and the handle and handguard were covered with snail patterns, and the shape was elegant and clumsy.

is about to enter such a mysterious ruin, and further understand the meaning of life, even with the state of mind of Fu Cailin's Grand Master level, his face shows a little joy, and at the same time, he is also vigilant, beware of the powerful mechanisms and beasts inside, and is ready to attack and defend at any time.

Eight ice swords were condensed in his hand, and they flew into the eight incorrect entrances, in order to explore the operation of the mechanism, Zhao Qing quickly jumped into the entrance that was calculated correctly, and fell dozens of feet in an instant, landing on a silver giant net that was suspected to be made of carbon fiber, and then came to the flat ground below.

Releasing another bright ball of light floating in the air, illuminating the surrounding environment, she saw the nine portals of the giant hall here, and once again condensed eight ice swords into eight of them, and she headed towards the right portal.

After walking diagonally for twenty or thirty miles, theoretically reaching a place a thousand zhang deep from the surface, Zhao Qing absorbed and deciphered the details of the sixteen ice swords to explore the path, and at the same time came to the outside of the waterfall at the end of the secret passage with a red light, and entered the area of the lower lake where the Temple of the God of War was located.

Sensing that when she crossed the waterfall, she seemed to have passed through a strange spatial film, and she thought in her heart, looking at the middle of the lake five miles away from her in the sky above the huge lake underground, a lonely island completely covered by huge buildings, and the stone hall on the island showed the shape of the upper half of the cube with a side length of more than 90 zhang.

A simple estimate, coupled with a huge foundation more than 90 zhang above the water, the stone used in the entire Temple of the God of War is at least 30 million square meters, and the total weight must exceed 100 million tons, even in the previous life, it is undoubtedly the largest and heaviest single building in history.

And looking towards the waters around the Temple of the God of War, I saw that the lake was bottomless, full of all kinds of life, such as the glowing strange fish, in the red light of the lake, thousands of groups of haunts, or monsters that looked like snakes but not snakes, with countless tentacles in the shape of a large round ball, and the giant monsters that passed by, all kinds of strange things.

In the distant gap of the surrounding walls, the earth fire flashed out, although this place was hidden deep underground, the air was fresh and sweet, and the vitality of heaven and earth was extraordinarily abundant, and the environment was very suitable for cultivation.

The calm water surface of the underground lake and sea, constantly turning up the bubbles and waves, full of infinite vitality, occasionally there are strange fish monsters jumping off the water, making a strange sound of slapping water, in the rumbling waterfall, revealing a dynamic rhythm.

These creatures all belong to the strange birds and foreign objects engraved in the Yanxiang Hall of the Wild Goose Palace, but they are not all on the relief, after all, the diameter of this underground lake is only ten miles, but it is not possible for too many species to reproduce for a long time and continue to this day.

According to the results deduced by Zhao Qing's sense of heaven and earth, an underground lake with a rich aura like this is equivalent to the "trick point" on the planet of the earth, and it is connected to the "dantian" where the core of the mantle is located through the "meridians" of the mantle pillar, with a total of 360 places, which together are all the living areas of these ancient xenomorphs.

Although she attached great importance to the Temple of the God of War, which had only been visited in a hurry with the intention of traveling, she did not fly directly across the lake to the other side, but condensed the water into an ice boat, and the three of them boarded the boat and slowly sailed towards the middle of the lake.

Soon, surrounded by a group of strange fish, the head of a human-headed fish-body monster surfaced hideously, its green hair fluttered backwards in the water, and a pair of giant eyes flashed with green light, which looked terrifying.

"The Classic of Mountains and Seas, the Classic of the South of the Sea" says: 'The country of the people is in the west of Jianmu, and it is the face of everyone and the body of a fish, and there is no foot.' This monster actually has a human head, could it be related to the Di people? ”

Seeing that this monster with a length of more than one foot contained a power comparable to that of a top grandmaster, but the level of wisdom was only at the level of a savage at most, Zhao Qing's heart moved slightly, and he became interested in the origin of the group where he was located, and took the initiative to drive the ice boat in the direction of the mermaid.

Seeing the green flame burning in his eyes to express the ownership of the hegemony of this small area of water, the other party still did not stop invading the territory, the mermaid monster couldn't help but be furious, opened its bloody mouth, and brought up a white water line along the way, rushing straight towards the ice boat.

In the blink of an eye, the lake at the bow of the boat parted with a "bang", and the monster couldn't wait, and the whole boat rushed away from the lake, and two cattle-like claws like fish fins waved in the air, as if they were ready to bite the enemy on the boat and start a fierce fight.

At the same time, Fu Cailin's sword is also full of green and blue light, drawing moving lines that transcend the beauty of the world and have the truth of heaven and earth, and the blade of the sword instantly condenses a mist, like an immortal starlight in the clouds, and rushes towards the position between the mermaid's eyes like a meteor.

Although it takes a while to create a favorable situation when encountering an unfamiliar enemy, it will take a while to create a favorable situation, but even if he doesn't know what his habits are, he is still very sure that he can kill it in a few moves.

Before the blade of the sword pierced directly into the mermaid's brain, a sword shadow like a rainbow of light suddenly lit up around the ice boat, enveloping the formation of a sphere with a diameter of ten zhang, and more than a dozen substantial human figures flickered inside, wielding a second, denser sword light.

In an instant, more than a dozen strange beasts, including this mermaid and the two little mermaids nearby, were pierced into their acupoint meridians with sword wires, sealing their ability to move while also allowing Zhao Qing to explore the structure of these monsters' bodies.

As if grabbed by an invisible giant hand, the mermaid monster was pressed against the deck of the ice boat without resistance, and unnecessary decorations such as green hair disappeared in the blink of an eye, leaving only a naked fish lying on its back to the sky to reveal its belly, which faded its hideous and fierce look.

On the side, he marveled at the mysterious changes displayed in Zhao Qing's sword, and vaguely realized that if he wanted to further develop his "sword skills", he needed to break the original rules of the chess game, from playing one piece at a time to playing multiple chess pieces at a time, and even turning the chess pieces into "chessboards", Fu Cailin couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart, revealing a look of eagerness to ask questions.

However, when he withdrew his sword and didn't know which Zhao Qing to ask for advice, he caught a glimpse of the other party's faces changing slightly, revealing a solemn demeanor, approaching the monster with the human head and the body of a fish, and after a little hesitation, he released it back into the lake.

"Except for an extra gill, the organs and tissues in the mermaid's body are almost no different from normal people, very different from ordinary fish, only much larger, and it seems that they can be born with the power of green flame."

"Referring to the statement in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" that the Di people are the descendants of Emperor Yan, could it be that this kind of mermaid was originally transformed from a human being?"

It was a random inspection, but it made Zhao Qing's mind fluctuate, suspecting that this kind of mermaid might have a bizarre and tragic past, and then sensed the demon dragon swimming outside Li Xu, the stone turtle carrying the river map at the bottom of the thousand-level stone steps, and the middle-aged man who was slowly walking out of the gate of the God of War Temple.

It was a sturdy man, his body was like an ancient rock tempered by time, tough and steady, wearing unpretentious cloth clothes and shoes, and his eyes were as deep as the sea, as if he contained an indescribable wisdom and insight, and saw through everything in the world.

"The search for meaning in life and the acquisition of greater power sometimes come at the cost of failure...... Isn't it? I saw that this person was the "Heavenly Demon" Cangxuan who Zhao Qing had seen the back once, and he opened the entrance of the Wild Goose Palace on the Shuofang battlefield, and he didn't know what the reason was.
