Bamboo slips were used in the pre-Qin period, with varying lengths, ranging from more than ten centimeters to more than half a meter. They were engraved with a knife on them.
The piece in Wang Xuan's hand was golden and had 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 heavy, and you can imagine that it will sink when it enters the water.
The golden bamboo slips are engraved with not words, but several patterns, a creature with a human head and snake body, showing different postures.
He had long hair loose, and he could not tell whether he was a man or a woman. He had a serpent body wrapped around his body, a picture of him rolling on the ground, and a picture of him having a tail on the ground, standing upright towards the sky like a sharp sword.
There is no text on the bamboo slip, only a few engraved pictures, and it is impossible to tell what it has to do with the old art. At least Wang Xuan did not find its value.
I can't understand it or understand it. I have been playing with it as a jade for many years.The middle-aged man wearing a blue mask spoke.
He had short hair, very thick, and sat there quietly.
I got too little, and a bunch of golden bamboo slips fell into the hands of the chaebol on the Rising Star side. I only won two of them back then.He said plainly.
Wang Xuan was sure that this was a master, and his achievements in old techniques were probably very amazing.
It is very difficult for him to dare to seize food from a tiger's mouth, compete with the troops sent by the chaebol, and take away two pieces.
This kind of bamboo slip is even regarded as a strange thing on the new star side. After major organizations obtained it, they will never show it to others. They are all secretly studying it and it is difficult for outsiders to see it again.
Has anyone analyzed anything on the Rising Star?Wang Xuan asked.
Not clear.The middle-aged man with short hair said brief words and was unwilling to talk about this topic again.
For a moment, the room fell into silence.
Wang Xuan met him two years ago, and it was at that time that he first knew and saw a dark area in this peaceful city.
On the nine underground floor of a landmark building, there are old art competitions every Friday night. The contestants are fighting in an iron cage, which is extremely bloody, and the losers usually have their hands and feet broken.
The stands outside the iron cage were filled with people of unknown identity, all wearing masks, both men and women. They watched the fierce confrontation, followed by roaring and screaming, and excitement and chaos blended together.
Wang Xuan rejected the middle-aged man on the spot and told him clearly that he would never walk in the gray area. He liked to study old techniques, but he would not be able to perform bloody art to show people.
The middle-aged man with short hair smiled and told him that he would just take him to see the other side of the city. The real world is far from what he usually sees.
The bloody actual combat of the iron cage has little to do with them. They just occasionally choose 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 competition, because they have entered the starry sky and are not limited to the old soil.
The middle-aged man told him that both in terms of future and strength, the explorers are very gorgeous, far from comparable to those who wander in the gray area and organizations.
They chatted several times during that time, but Wang Xuan still refused him.
The middle-aged man with short hair left him a golden business card and told him that if he changes his mind after graduation, he can come here to find him.
And as early as then, two years ago, a middle-aged man with short hair predicted that the old art experimental class would inevitably be disbanded and that the investment project would be stranded.
Why found me?Wang Xuan asked him seriously back then.
The middle-aged man with short hair told him that first, the investment project of the old art experimental class attracted his attention, and then, he observed everyone in the class and finally only attracted two people.
The rest of the class are not determined enough and doubt the old techniques. Even if you follow the old path, your achievements will be limited.
In fact, after Wang Xuan embarked on the path of old techniques, he was indeed out of control. He successfully collected qi and nourished himself in just a few years.
A middle-aged man with short hair believes that Wang Xuan has great potential and will most likely achieve extraordinary achievements on the road of old techniques.
This organization is relatively free and loose, but its strength is unquestionable. At the same time, it is very mysterious. Its tentacles have already entered the starry sky and can reach new stars.
For the official introduction, you can call me Aoki.The middle-aged man with short hair in a blue mask spoke, breaking the silence.
Will I join this way?Wang Xuan asked.
Aoki Dao: Not to mention it, you are one of the potential seedlings I have selected in recent years, but it is not the only one.
What kind of test should be passed?
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.
join!Wang Xuan nodded.
After joining us, you have roughly known what you have to experience, but now I still want to emphasize that what adventure means will naturally be dangerous and even have life worries. You must consider it well.
Wang Xuan said: No problem, I have considered it clearly.
Aoki was very serious and said: Just live here. We must make sure that no news can be missed before this, because this action is very important!
Wang Xuan expressed his understanding, and there was no problem staying there.
He held a golden bamboo slip in his hand, looked at Aoki behind the mahogany desk, and said: Can I ask some questions?
Aoki Dao: It depends on what the problem is. If some amazing secrets are involved, even if you successfully join us, you still need to exchange it equally.
Wang Xuan asked: I want to know, at the end of the old art path, is it the top strongest among the alchemists, and there is really no way out ahead?
Aoki sighed and said: I understand your mood, because I also started with practicing the old techniques. This road is too difficult. It took countless hard work and sweat, and it took decades to achieve success. The highest peak in theory is the alchemist, and the end point has been determined.
It is indeed the same answer, the same conclusion as the Life Research Institute on Nova.
In fact, what is most pessimistic is that even if you already know where the end of the road is, few people can reach that level. After the passing of the pre-Qin period, fewer and fewer people can reach the level of alchemy, and there are no more since ancient times.
The old techniques are becoming increasingly declining, and alchemists have long been a legend and are difficult to peek.
The location where the alchemist stands is the end of the road. Has no one tried to continue exploring?Wang Xuan asked.
It’s not easy to talk about. Over the years, even real alchemists have been unable to appear again. How can future generations dare to think about these things?Aoki shook his head bitterly and said: In ancient times, there were some powerful people with great ambitions who wanted to continue deducing the road, but unfortunately, no one has ever succeeded.
Why can those alchemists deduce the old techniques to the extreme? Can latecomers never surpass them?Wang Xuan raised a question.
Do you think it was the result of the hard deduction of several alchemists?No, it was the result of generations of powerful alchemists constantly improving the old techniques. Later, there was no way out, and the top strong ones among alchemists may be the strongest individuals among ancient humans.
……
That night, Aoki asked someone to prepare various equipment needed for Wang Xuan for the adventure, including alloy knife, dagger, protective clothing, imitation human leather mask, etc.
In addition, there are thermal weapons!
The next morning they set off and came out of the city first. They boarded a small spaceship in a secret manor and headed to Qingcheng Mountain.
Small spacecraft are very advanced and cannot be monitored by old earth satellites.
This was the first time Wang Xuan had been in such a spaceship and felt very novel about everything, but he just observed calmly and did not ask randomly.
He felt that he had a lot to learn.
Aoki personally participated in the action, which shows his importance to this action.
In addition to Wang Xuan, the other four people were wearing imitation human skin masks, and they didn't know what their real expressions were.
Aokidao: Target Qingcheng Mountain, this time, a chaebol sent troops to secretly dig in the mountains, and our target is also there!
What was discovered in Qingcheng Mountain and attracted the new star chaebol?Someone asked.
Before the action, they were kept confidential and they didn't know the destination earlier.
Aoki was very serious and said: Someone seemed to have found some amazing records from the bamboo slips left by a pre-Qin alchemist, and the target was directed to Qingcheng Mountain.
Are they still interested in the inheritance of alchemists?Someone asked a question. With the super skills on the new star side, the old skills have been officially abandoned.
Aoki was very solemn and said: There were some secrets recorded on the deciphered bamboo slips. Qingcheng Mountain seemed to have something that made the alchemists excited and excited, so this time the chaebol came secretly again.
How many people were so energetic that even Wang Xuan was shocked. Are there new discoveries in Qingcheng Mountain?If you make the alchemist care about it, will it be related to... the immortals?!
The top strongest among the alchemists is considered to be immortals.
But some people do not agree with it, thinking that it is more mysterious and powerful than a sage.
The Zhou family and Ling family members dug up the underground palace and found the target!Aoki whispered, he had just received the latest secret report.
Wang Xuan's heart was shocked. What were the two families?!
The time is not long, they are close to their destination.
Qingcheng Mountain is known as one of the four famous Taoist mountains and one of the five immortal mountains.
It is also considered to be one of the birthplaces of Taoism. Zhang Daoling once made a thirst in Qingcheng Mountain. There is a saying that he eventually passed away in this mountain.
The piece in Wang Xuan's hand was golden and had 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 heavy, and you can imagine that it will sink when it enters the water.
