Chapter 294 The Secret of the Hidden Family
Hearing what Lin Shi said, Qi Yi was a little anxious.
Although Qi Yun once said that even if Li No. 2 is Lin Shi, even if Lin Shi knows his life experience, he may not help.
But hearing Lin Shi's ruthless words at this moment, Qi Yi couldn't help clenching his fists, and despair flashed in his eyes.
If Qi Yi had other options, he would never beg Lin Shi in such a low voice.
"The young master was hunted down by an elder from another faction of the Qi family. Now his life and death are unknown, and the master has also been killed. It was the young master who asked me to come to you."
Qi Yi thought of the instructions given to him before parting with Qi Yun and said:
"Before the young master disappears, I must find you and tell you the secret of the hidden family."
...
The origin of the hidden family cannot be studied.
According to the general history of the hidden family, the four major hidden families were members of the same tribe tens of thousands of years ago.
In ancient times, the living environment was harsh, wild beasts were ferocious, and wild beasts were everywhere.
The air is very rich in source substances.
In order to survive, the ancestors of the hidden family invented a method that allowed the body to absorb source substances and become stronger to adapt to the environment.
That is to say, special exercise methods are used to unlock the genetic lock and achieve self-evolution.
After hundreds of years of evolution and gradual adaptation, the method of unlocking the genetic lock is achieved.
The ancestors possessed strength and wisdom that ordinary people could hardly possess, and they stood out during that period.
The most powerful tribe at that time was formed, hunting all kinds of origin beasts, and it was very prosperous for a while.
Then one day, the ice age ended, the concentration of source substances in the air dropped significantly, and the source beasts began to become extinct.
The evolution of tribal humans grinds to a halt.
External threats diminished, and internal strife began among the tribes.
Eventually the tribe split.
Many tribesmen led some tribesmen to leave the tribe.
The descendants of these people used the method of absorbing source materials to unlock genetic locks in various places, leaving many legends and historical footprints in various dynasties in history.
Some immortal cultivators and myths and legends also came from this.
As times change, so do the changes.
Some people have been lost in history.
Some people have reproduced to this day, which are the four major hidden families that still exist.
It’s just that since tens of thousands of years ago, there have been fewer and fewer source substances in the air. By the time of modern society, the source substances in the air have almost returned to zero.
These reclusive families try their best to find and extract source materials from deep underground to achieve evolution.
But in modern society, thermal weapon technology is so powerful that no matter how powerful human beings are, they cannot compete with it.
In order to protect themselves, the reclusive family gradually disappeared from the world and secretly accumulated strength.
Unexpectedly, a new round of ice age started again, and the source material exploded again.
…
"Your hidden family has a history of tens of thousands of years?"
Qi Yi sounded a little proud and said:
"That's right. The Hidden Family has been passed down from generation to generation. Although there have been divisions and civil strife in the process, the inheritance has never been cut off."
It was impossible for Lin Shi not to be shocked from the bottom of his heart.
What shocked him even more was that the source material exploded during the last ice age.
It turns out that humans experienced a rapid evolution 10,000 years ago.
Recall what the cornucopia showed before it opened in the apocalypse:
The Blue Star Doomsday Reset has started for the third time, and this process will accelerate the progress of species evolution.
It was detected that the "Cornucopia" has identified intelligent creatures as the main ones and started a host protection plan.
This life is the third time it started, so was the previous life the second time, and the one tens of thousands of years ago was the first time?
Lin Shi's brain was thinking rapidly.
"What else?" Lin Shi asked.
"And about my Qi family's heirloom, the cornucopia."
Hearing the word cornucopia from others, Lin Shi's pupils couldn't help but shrink suddenly.
Even though he tried hard to restrain himself, he couldn't help but his eyes changed.
Fortunately, Qi Yi knelt down and lowered his head to tell the story, and did not notice any changes in Lin Shi.
"What is a cornucopia?"
Lin Shi kept his voice steady and asked knowingly.
Qi Yi raised his head and glanced at Lin Shi, shook his head and said:
“I don’t know either, I only know that the cornucopia has always been the hidden family’s treasure.
Our ancestors opened the cornucopia thousands of years ago. It is said that the cornucopia is very powerful, but what is its use? Because it is so long ago, the contents in the records are very unclear.
The cornucopia was actually lost once, and was later found by our Qi family thousands of years ago.
But we have not found a way to use the cornucopia for thousands of years, and there is no record of how to use it.
Just enshrine it as a treasure.
Until twenty years ago, because my aunt eloped and left the Qi family, the cornucopia was lost. "
\\"......\\"
Did the cornucopia exist thousands of years ago? !
And have you ever recognized someone as your master? !
Lin Shi felt like a turbulent wave was rising in his heart.
The information Qi Yi brought was too great!
Lin Shi had carried the cornucopia with him for so many years in his previous life, and he knew very well that although the cornucopia was rough in workmanship, it was definitely not something that humans could have made thousands of years ago.
Before the cornucopia was opened, Lin Shi always thought that the cornucopia was an item from recent times or hundreds of years ago.
If the cornucopia existed thousands of years ago.
So where did the cornucopia come from? Made by whom?
Its existence seems to be closely related to every ice age.
If every ice age is a reincarnation, then what is the purpose of the cornucopia?
Is it for the record?
At this time, Lin Shi was even more suspicious that the cornucopia was the product of a higher civilization.
The garbled characters that have appeared in the cornucopia before are also in line with the characteristics of technological products.
This is an existence that has exceeded Lin Shi's cognition.
As for the interface displayed by the cornucopia, Lin Shi didn't think that humans ten thousand years ago would have known this kind of writing today.
The only reasonable explanation is that the cornucopia can convey a display method that is easiest to understand based on the cognition of intelligent creatures who recognize its owner.
For example, Lin Shi is from the Xia Kingdom, and the cornucopia displays the characters of the Xia Kingdom.
If Lin Shi is from another country, then the cornucopia displays the characters of other countries.
And if Lin Shi is an ancient person, then the cornucopia displays graphics or other expressions that can be understood by ancient people!
This means that the cornucopia is a very smart, high-end technological item.
And this item must have been created by a more advanced civilization and intelligent creature!
Perhaps such existence, to the humans on Blue Star, is not an exaggeration to call it a god!
Lin Shi did not think of the magic weapon in the novel and the supernatural direction of cultivating immortals. Lin Shi believed in science more than those supernatural powers.
There are some things, the more you think about them, the more terrifying they become.
Just like Lin Shi, he was already thinking about it and was extremely frightened.
He suddenly felt that there was a pair of big hands hidden in the sky, treating all creatures on Blue Star as guinea pigs in a laboratory, controlling everything in secret.
