Chapter Ninety-Six: Magical Murder and the Theory of Fang Shi (2nd Update)
The green elixir is full of vitality, and there are circles of golden lines on the outside, like golden auspicious clouds surrounding it.
Although during the refining process, this group of tomb robbers suddenly broke in, fortunately, it did not cause any impact, and in the end, the effect of Cheng Dan was still very good.
After so many days of alchemy, Ye Qin had mastered a lot of experience, and the success rate had greatly increased.
Ye Qin swallowed it, only to feel that the pill melted in an instant, and a touch of sweetness flowed in the snake's cavity, like a spring breeze carrying rain and dew, moistening the five organs.
At the same time, a transparent film is formed, which is attached to it, so that the acquired Qi can be condensed and not dispersed.
As the effect of the medicine spreads, a thin wisp of gas is soon formed in the five internal organs, and flows along the blood to the heart.
Not far from the heart, there was an object that looked like a cloud, and in it the clouds surged, as if from the cosmic void, full of endless wonders.
This wisp of qi quickly merged into it, and compared to the beginning, the qi mass had expanded a lot, formed by countless acquired qi, and gradually had such a scale.
The air mass did not affect the heart, and it stayed quietly in its place, as if it had merged with the entire five internal organs and become the sixth organ, an indispensable part of the life cycle.
What Ye Qin had to do was to continuously expand the air mass, and finally compress it, causing a qualitative change from quantitative change, and finally forming a qi pill.
On the other side, the tomb robbers and others were about to go crazy when they saw the scene of Ye Qin swallowing the green pill.
Everything that happened tonight washed over their worldview, and the string called reason in their minds finally broke completely!
"How could a snake be alchemy! It's a youkai! We're all done, the monster eats the elixir, and the next one will come to eat us! ”
"We're all going to have to die here now."
The timid people in the team had begun to speak incoherently.
Although they are tomb robbers and have seen a lot, they are just ordinary people in the final analysis, and they have never even seen a corpse, let alone see a monster now.
Everyone froze in place, their expressions were a little sluggish, and under the huge panic, it turned out that their heads were really blank.
The sound of rustling was getting closer and closer, it was the unique sound of snakes crawling, and everyone listened to the numbness of their scalps and their bodies trembling more and more.
In the darkness, the green snake scales streaked through a dark light, like the arrival of death.
Soon the snake came to them, and its cold eyes looked them up and down, as if wondering where to start.
Under the huge panic, the tomb robbers and others weakened their knees and knelt down directly.
"Master Snake spares my life, I'm just passing by here, no offense, spare us, our meat is not delicious."
The tomb robbers hurriedly begged for mercy, banging their heads.
"Snake Daxian, as long as you let us go, we will definitely offer you the immortal card, burn incense every day, and the chicken, duck and fish meat will never be cut off every day."
There are also tomb robbers who call themselves snake immortals and make promises.
"These are the treasures we found, if the snake master is interested, I will give them all to you."
Tomb robbers and others began to pick up the antique artifacts on their bodies, which were supposed to be their money, but now they can't take care of it.
Soon, books, bronzes, porcelain, and other things were scattered all over the floor.
These things were covered in dust and even mud, and they looked like they had just been dug out of the soil, plus the sneaky behavior of these people.
Identity is about to come out.
It turned out to be a group of tomb robbers.
Even the backpack that the fifth master had been carrying on his body and the baby's was not good, was opened by him, and it turned out to be a three-legged tripod with a delicate shape!
The fifth master put down the tripod with a bang, revealing a flattering smile, "Snake master, don't you like alchemy, this tripod is for you, it is said that this tripod has a miraculous effect." ”
In order to survive, the fifth master also began to talk a few nonsense.
And everyone has seen that this old monster is really wise, and can obviously understand everyone's words.
Ye Qin glanced at it, this Ding is quite exquisite, just by looking at it, he feels that it is very old, but the specific period is unrecognizable.
It is carved with a variety of graphics, texts and symbols, and the patterns are all over the place, and the patterns are complicated, and it seems to be of great value.
Ye Qin crawled around the tripod, this tripod is not big or small for him, one meter high, about half a meter in diameter, three-legged, and the material is also relatively special, although I don't know what it is, but needless to say, it is indeed more suitable for alchemy.
At least it's much better than your own broken tank.
Now, as the number of alchemy continues to increase, the vat is about to be burned.
Seeing that his attention was really attracted by this statue, the tomb robbers and others couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Master Snake, these things should be regarded as our filial piety to your old man."
Although it is said that without these things, even if they run away in vain this trip, not to mention that they can't make money, even their reputation will be damaged, and they haven't made a deal with the employer behind them.
But compared to life, these are nothing!
Seeing that Ye Qin didn't make any moves, everyone subconsciously took a few steps back.
This time, the jackals and hyenas seemed to have no sight, and turned a blind eye to their actions.
When the tomb robbers saw the show, they thought they could escape.
But he never thought that Ye Qin had no intention of letting them go at all.
These people don't have a word of truth in their mouths, and if they are lowered down the mountain, they may bring someone to kill him the next day, and even want to arrest him in the laboratory for research.
This group of people even makes money from the dead, and what black money they don't earn.
People's hearts are the most unbearable to challenge, and Ye Qin doesn't want to bet on his own safety, let alone believe that a so-called 'snake spirit' can scare humans.
And he didn't expect a few tomb robbers to have any good and noble qualities to keep what they saw today a secret.
So the best thing to do is to do it once and for all, so as not to put yourself in danger.
So......
Crackling!
A dazzling burst of thunder suddenly appeared, and the group of tomb robbers blinked again and again, thinking that it was a flash in the sky, but when they looked closely, they found that there was a light shining on the snake's forehead, more precisely, the light was emitted by a scale of a special color.
There are constantly electric arcs intertwined in it, emitting a sizzling electric current.
Soon the sound grew louder and louder, and the light gradually became stronger, and the original arc of electricity changed from the size of a hair to the thickness of a thumb, to the extent that it was visible to the naked eye.
This is the supernatural power that Ye Qin comprehended when he visualized the thunder before, and finally fed back to the scales on his forehead.
This supernatural power is a bit like the thunder method, but it is different, there is no need to chant a spell to cast a spell, it is more like Ye Qin's natal supernatural power after contemplating.
Ye Qin's realm is limited now, so the power of the supernatural power is also limited, for example, the release of thunder and lightning cannot be too far away from the body, and it is only within a distance of four or five meters, and if it is too far, it will be somewhat untouchable, and it cannot be used for a long time, otherwise the loss to himself will be too great.
As for the power, it definitely doesn't have the strength of the 'thunder law', but it shouldn't be a problem to clean up a few tomb robbers.
And seeing the scene in front of them, the tomb robbers and others opened their mouths wide, and their minds went blank.
How could a snake be discharged?
"Demon law, it must be demon law!"
A group of tomb robbers cried for their father and wanted to escape, but it was too late.
Click!
As Ye Qin concentrated his gaze, the thunder light on his forehead shone more and more, and finally it came out of his body like thunder in his palm.
Purple lightning pierced the night sky, suddenly tearing a hole in the black, and with lightning speed, it landed on the celestial spirit cover of one of them.
"Whew!"
Only a howl of pain was heard, floating through the mountains and forests.
The man's body convulsed and soon fell to the ground.
"Little Liu!"
When everyone saw this scene, they were almost stunned.
The fifth master turned around abruptly and saw the scene that he would never forget.
The serpent stood up half upright, as if a god had descended, filled with supreme majesty, and the beast's pupils looked down on them as if they were looking at a dead man.
The coldness of it scared him to the extreme, and the hairs on his body stood up.
In the center of the forehead, thunder and lightning are intertwined, shining with a unique luster. An arc of lightning was released from it, and the thick lightning was so clear in the dark night that he could barely open his eyes.
There was a scream from his companion around him, and when he looked again, another person had fallen.
Everyone panicked, but how could their speed be faster than Ye Qin, and the speed of thunder and lightning.
Soon, as the people around him fell one by one, in the end, only the fifth master was left.
Looking at the scorched corpses of the people around him, his spirit finally collapsed completely at this moment, ushering in his own moment of death.
Click!
With a thunderbolt, it seemed to be mixed with the power of thunder, and the fifth master's body slowly fell.
Since then, the tomb robbers have been wiped out.
Ye Qin looked at the corpses, in addition to Xiao Ding, who was interested, there were also many books that were also quite interested, so he simply commanded the animals to bring them back together.
As for other bronze utensils, porcelain and other things, Ye Qin didn't feel cold, so he simply stayed where he was.
A good tomb robber sent this tripod, and it seems good to use it to refine it.
Moreover, most of the ancients used the tripod as a tool for alchemy.
It must be a bit exquisite.
"Looks like there's an ancient tomb around here."
The animals on the entire mountain can act as Ye Qin's eyes and ears, and it is not difficult to find the ancient tomb, so he conveys the instructions.
Soon Ye Qin discovered the robbery hole dug by the tomb robbers.
"Looks like they're supposed to go down from here."
Ye Qin looked around at the surrounding mountains, which were open on all sides.
The raised peaks in the east are like divine horses, like horses galloping in the wilderness, and the endless mountains in the west are like big birds waving their wings and flying high.
The tomb is probably in this area, the terrain is a little lower, and the north side is close to the mountain, which is just a good place for Tibetan wind to gather qi.
The mountains on all sides are locked in smoke, and if you are buried here, you can let future generations get this shade, and the blessings are deep and long.
Ye Qin, as an animal now, has a strong perception of the nature of heaven and earth, although he does not know much about feng shui, he can feel the subtlety of nature here.
"It seems that the owner of the tomb is buried here with great attention, either he himself understands feng shui, or he has asked a master to survey it before."
Ye Qin entered the tomb, the entire tomb was still relatively large, probably to save time, the tomb robbers did not explore the entire tomb.
The feng shui terrain here is good, coupled with the shade of the tomb, which makes Ye Qin feel very comfortable.
There are also many frescoes around, in addition to the large bronzes and porcelain, as well as some scriptures, which the tomb robbers could not move.
"If you cultivate here, it's a good choice."
Ye Qin had a hunch that judging from the scale of this tomb, it was not a small tomb, and now that the tomb robbers were patronizing, although it had been solved by him, it would inevitably cause a storm.
"Maybe there will be others going up the mountain in the future."
Ye Qin is not afraid of things, but he doesn't want to take the initiative to cause trouble.
"It seems that it is necessary to reduce the amount of activity during the day, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble."
Ye Qin left the tomb with a plan in his heart.
As the sky reveals a slight light, it evaporates into a few special colors, and the colorful glow of the morning sun and the silver glow of the moon are intertwined, creating a dreamlike picture.
After Ye Qin absorbed the Qi of Heaven and Earth and ran for a week, he also completely let the medicinal effect spread to every corner of his body, and he felt that the qi mass in his body had grown a lot, and he immediately left here.
……
It's still early, but the town is already full of traffic, and people are bustling with people who wake up in the morning.
The local town government received the news that the city's archaeological investigation team would arrive on the same day, and they needed to coordinate and act.
The police were even mobilized to cooperate with the archaeological investigation mission and escort the experts up the mountain.
The archaeological investigation team is led by Professor Zhang Xuedong, who has good achievements and achievements in this area, and is also very famous in the industry, focusing on the history of the Han Dynasty and the Qin Dynasty.
Professor Zhang has gray temples, but he is very energetic and looks very approachable.
Because of the tiring travel, he originally wanted to let the professor rest in the town for a while, but Professor Zhang couldn't wait to say that he was going to leave soon.
There were dozens of cars on the road, including police cars.
Professor Zhang sat in one of the brown cars, with several students sitting next to him.
"The teacher came from the city, it's better to rest first, anyway, the tomb is there and you won't run on long legs, what if you can't stand it."
Professor Zhang waved his hand disapprerovingly.
"I'm not old enough to take a breath when I walk a few steps, in the early years, I didn't sleep for a few days and nights, and even the rotation of the axis was a common thing, so you can rest assured."
Looking at Professor Zhang's mental condition, he was in high spirits, a little excited and excited, but he didn't see any tiredness, and everyone was relieved.
In recent years, as he got older, Professor Zhang rarely led archaeological activities in person, and most of them waited for the cultural relics to be unearthed and transported back to the institute for research.
Now that he offered to lead the team to the tomb, it is inevitable that people will be a little curious.
"Professor Zhang, you haven't carried out this kind of mission for a long time, why did you choose to go out of the mountain in person this time."
Professor Zhang had an unfathomable expression on his face, "You don't understand this, according to the news, this tomb is still more valuable for research." ”
Someone couldn't help but joke, "Professor, which of our tombs has no research value." ”
Professor Zhang said with a smile: "You should all know that since the Qin and Han dynasties, Fang Shi Huang sent Xu Fu to cross the sea to seek immortal islands, and then Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sought immortals, and Fang Shi was all over the world, and even built immortal mountains for this purpose, and he didn't wake up until his old age. ”
When everyone heard this, they became more and more curious, "Professor, is this tomb related to these things?" ”
Except for a few core figures in the research institute, most people don't know much about this tomb, only that it should be from the Han Dynasty.
Professor Zhang nodded, "That's right, the tomb master this time is a magician. ”
When "Hanshu Art and Literature Chronicles" summarized the "hundred schools of thought" of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it talked about a "fairy family".
He said: "The immortals, so keep the truth of life, and those who seek to the outside are also." Talk about peace of mind, the same realm of life and death, and no fear in the chest ......".
Some people believe that this is the "school" to which the "Fangshi" belongs.
In addition to Qin Shi Huang, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was also deeply influenced by it, and even surpassed it, so much so that the famous "Witch Gu Disaster" was also involved later.
Since then, the world has been secretive about this, and the theory of magic has gradually calmed down, no longer intensifying as before, and there is no longer the glory it once had.
In fact, not only them, but also many people have wanted to seek immortals and ask, through some means or swallowing pills, in order to be able to live forever, and even caused a lot of trouble.
However, it is undeniable that Fangshu has left a strong mark in history, leaving countless space for future generations to explore.
Everyone's expressions were a little embarrassed, "The ancients just believed in the theory of magic too much, so that they were used by people with intentions and brought disasters, which shows that these feudal superstitions are really harmful, and the theory of seeking immortals and asking questions is even more nonsense." ”
Professor Zhang had a different opinion from them, and just smiled.
"You are still too young, and I have taught you that there are two sides to everything, and that you cannot only look at things by appearances."
"The honey of the first, the arsenic of the other, some methods are indeed harmful, but on the other hand, they can be regarded as promoting the progress of medicine."
Everyone couldn't help but show puzzled expressions.
"But I remember that there are records that in the past, there were many people who believed the words of those warlocks because of indiscriminate medicine, and there were not a few people who died for this, and some monks were even more harmful."
"That's a good reason, but you have to look at it in light of the conditions and environment at the time."
To be more precise, Fangshu refers to the number of techniques and techniques, the so-called Fangshu, in ancient times, refers to: medical scriptures, scriptures, fairy arts, room techniques, etc.; The so-called arithmetic, in ancient times, refers to: Yin and Yang, the five elements, the eight trigrams, the restraint of mathematics, etc.
Because of the prevalence of Fangshu, it also led to the development of medicine, astronomy, the five elements, and counting.
"It is precisely because of the prevalence of these techniques that many people have studied in them, and the mistakes have also led to other developments, and there are some methods that are integrated with other academics."
