ers left behind, all around the vast expanse of land.after Guguan burst, there were no overly magnificent ruins, and everything was almost destroyed.the only way, silent, bleak, temporarily does not r...Bamboo slips, which have been in use in the pre-Qin period, vary in length from more than ten centimeters to more than half a meter. They are engraved with knives.

the piece in Wang Xuan's hand is golden, with a warm luster under the light.

it is eight centimeters long, three centimeters wide, two centimeters thick, and its length is shorter.

it is so heavy and so heavy that it can be expected to sink as soon as it enters the water.

what is engraved on the golden bamboo slips are not words, but several patterns, a creature with a human head and a snake body, showing different postures.

with long loose hair, he could not tell whether it was male or female. There was a snake-coiled posture, a picture of him rolling on the ground, and a picture of a snake landing on the ground, standing upright to the sky like a sword.

there are no words on the bamboo slips, only a few carvings, so it has nothing to do with the old art. At least Wang Xuan did not find its value.

"do not understand, do not understand, in my hands for many years, has been playing as a jade handle." The middle-aged man in a cyan mask spoke.

he sat there quietly with short hair and thick hair.

"I got so little that a bunch of golden bamboo slips fell into the hands of the plutocrats on the other side of the new star. I only won two pieces that year." He said calmly.

Wang Xuan is convinced that this is a master, and most of his achievements in old skills are amazing.

it is not easy for him to snatch food from a tiger, compete with the men sent by the chaebol and take away two pieces.

this kind of bamboo slips is regarded as a wonder even in the new star. After the major organizations got it, they kept it secret. They were all studied in secret, and it was hard for outsiders to see it again.

"has anyone at Nova deciphered anything" Wang Xuan asked.

"I don't know." The short-haired middle-aged man is short and unwilling to talk about this topic.

for a moment, the room fell silent.

Wang Xuan met him two years ago, and it was then that he first knew and saw gray areas in this peaceful city.

on the ninth floor of a landmark, there is an old art match every Friday night. The contestants fight in iron cages, and the losers usually break their hands and feet.

and the stands outside the iron cage are full of unknown people, wearing masks, men and women alike, watching the fierce match, following the roar, screaming, excitement and confusion.

Wang Xuan rejected the middle-aged man on the spot, clearly telling him that he would never walk in a gray area, and that he liked to study old arts, but would not show people "bloody performances."

the middle-aged man with short hair smiled and told him that he was just showing him the other side of the city and that the real world was far from what he usually saw.

and the bloody actual combat of iron cages has little to do with them, they only occasionally go to pick 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 match, because they have entered the starry sky and are not limited to the old land.

the middle-aged man told him that the explorers were gorgeous in terms of future and strength, far from being comparable to those who wandered in the gray area.

they talked several times during that time, but Wang Xuan refused him anyway.

A middle-aged man with short hair left him a blond business card and told him that if he changed his mind after graduation, he could come here to see him.

and as early as that time, that is, two years ago, the short-haired middle-aged man predicted that the old art experimental class would inevitably be disbanded and the investment project would run aground.

"Why did you find me" Wang Xuan asked him seriously at that time.

the short-haired middle-aged man told him that first of all, the investment project of the old art experimental class attracted his attention, and then he observed all the people in the class and finally took a fancy to only two people.

the rest of the class is not determined enough to doubt the old art, and even if they follow the old road, their achievements are limited.

as a matter of fact, after Wang Xuan embarked on the old art road, it really got out of hand, and he succeeded in collecting gas and nourishing himself in just a few years.

A middle-aged man with short hair thinks that Wang Xuan has great potential and will probably make extraordinary achievements on the road of old art.

this organization is relatively free and loose, but its strength is beyond doubt, and it is so mysterious that its tentacles have already entered the starry sky and can reach the new star.

"officially, you can call me Aoki." The short-haired middle-aged man in a cyan mask opened his mouth to break the silence.

"am I in now" Wang Xuan asked.

Aoki said, "not yet, you are one of the potential seedlings I have selected in recent years, but you are not the only one."

"do you have to go through any tests"

"Yes, it's an established rule. Although I like you, I can't change it."

short-haired middle-aged man Aoki told him that there would be an expedition within two days, which could be used as his assessment and asked if he would participate.

& lt;r/>

(adsbygoogle = indo.adsbygoogle | | []) .ush ({});

"join!" Wang Xuan nodded.

"after joining us, you used to know something about what you had to go through, but now I still want to emphasize that what exploration means will naturally be dangerous, even life-threatening, and you should consider it well."

Wang Xuan said, "No problem. I've thought it over."

Aoki was very serious and said, "you can live here. We have to make sure that we don't leak anything before that, because this operation is very important!"

Wang Xuan understands that it's okay to stay.

with golden bamboo slips in hand, he looked at Aoki behind his mahogany desk and said, "can I ask you some questions"

Aoki said: "see what the problem is, if some amazing secrets are involved, even if you succeed in joining us, you still need an equivalent exchange."

Wang Xuan asked, "I wonder if the end of the old art road is the top one among the scholars, and is there really no way to go"

Aoki sighed and said, "I understand your feelings, because I also started from practicing old skills, but this road is too difficult. It takes countless painstaking efforts and sweat, and it takes decades, but it is very difficult to achieve. And the highest peak in theory is Fang Shi, and the end point has been determined." Sure enough,

is the same answer, and the same conclusion as the life research on the other side of Nova.

"in fact, the most pessimistic thing is that even if you already know where the end of the road is, few people can get there. After the death of the pre-Qin Dynasty, fewer and fewer people can reach the level of scholars, and there has been no such thing since modern times."

the old art is becoming more and more declining, and the scholars have long been legends and difficult to spy on.

"the position where Fang Shi stands is at the end of the road. Does no one try to continue to explore" Wang Xuan asked.

"it's not easy. Through the ages, even real scholars can no longer appear. How can future generations dare to think about this" Aoki shook his head bitterly and said, "in ancient times, there were some bold men who wanted to continue the road, but unfortunately, no one ever succeeded."

"Why can those scholars deduce the old art to the extreme that the newcomers can never surpass it" Wang Xuan asked questions.

"do you think it is the result of the efforts of several scholars No, it is the result of the continuous improvement of the old skills by generation after generation of powerful scholars, but in the end, there is really no way to go, and the top strong among the scholars may be the strongest individual in ancient mankind. "

.

that night, Aoki asked people to prepare all kinds of equipment for Wang Xuan's expedition, including alloy knives, daggers, protective clothing, simulated human skin masks, etc.

in addition, there are hot weapons!

they set off early the next morning. They first came to the outside of the city and boarded a small spaceship in a secret manor and will go to Qingcheng Mountain.

small spaceships are so advanced that old-fashioned satellites cannot detect them.

this is the first time Wang Xuan has been in this kind of spaceship, and he feels very strange about everything, but he just observes calmly and doesn't ask questions.

he feels that he has a lot to learn.

Aoki personally participated in the operation, which shows the importance attached to this operation.

in addition to Wang Xuan, there are four other people who are wearing simulated human skin masks and do not know what their real expressions are.

Aoki said, "Target Qingcheng Mountain, this time the chaebol sent men to dig secretly in the mountain, and our goal is there, too!"

"what has been found in Qingcheng Mountain and attracted the plutocrats of the new stars" Someone asked.

was kept secret before the operation, and even they didn't know their destination before.

Aoki was very serious and said, "someone seems to have found some remarkable records in the bamboo slips left by some pre-Qin scholars, aiming at Qingcheng Mountain."

"are they still interested in the inheritance of local scholars" Some people question that the new star has a super skill, and the old skill has been officially abandoned.

Aoki was very solemn and said, "there are some secrets recorded in the deciphered bamboo slips. Qingchengshan seems to have something that excites and excites all the scholars, so this time the chaebol came secretly."

how many people are in high spirits, and even Wang Xuan's heart beats. Is there a new discovery in Qingcheng Mountain Let all the scholars miss, it will not have anything to do with. Does it have something to do with immortals!

the top one among the scholars is considered to be the immortal.

but there are also people who do not agree that they think it is more mysterious and powerful than Fang Shi.

"the Zhou family and the Ling family dug up the underground palace, and sure enough, they found the target!" Aoki whispered, he just got the latest tip.

Wang Xuan's heart beats. Which two are they

the time is not long, they are close to their destination.

Qingcheng Mountain, 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 preached in Qingcheng Mountain. It is said that he finally feathered in this mountain. During theperiod, Wu Yin's father showed up and talked a lot with Wang Xuan about Wu Yin's details in the secret land. He was worried about Wu Yin's delay in returning.in the Wu family, Wang Xuan was...
