Eight hundred and ninety-eight, the hidden spirit stone

Latest website: After exchanging pleasantries, the two parties sat down in a remote corner on the second floor of the tavern.

Just as he sat down, Su Yu got straight to the point: "Senior Wang Mang, you should have heard from the relevant departments about the purpose of Prime Minister Cao and I's trip, right?"

"Yes." Senior Wang Mang nodded slightly.

He seemed to be hesitant, and replied carefully, "You two are here for the matter of the 'Lingshishi', right?"

"Yes." Prime Minister Cao said: "This special stone can completely block the monk's aura and is a great threat to us, so we want to understand its origin."

After hearing what Prime Minister Cao said, Senior Wang Mang nodded slightly.

But he did not answer Su Yu and the others directly.

After a brief thought, he sighed softly: "Forget it, I'll tell you two everything. In fact, the 'Shielding Stone' may involve a huge secret. Both of you are trustworthy, so I can Let me tell you this secret."

"A huge secret?" Su Yu and Prime Minister Cao were surprised.

After looking at each other, Prime Minister Cao asked calmly: "I dare to ask my friend, what is the secret?"

Senior Wang Mang stroked his long beard and said slowly: "This secret is my own guess, and it has not been confirmed yet. But you two, please don't tell anyone after listening to it, so as not to cause more trouble."

After hearing this, Su Yu immediately promised: "Please rest assured. I can guarantee that only the three of us know this secret, and it will never be spread to anyone!"

"Well, I can also guarantee it with my name." Prime Minister Cao said solemnly.

Senior Wang Mang smiled casually: "Actually, you two don't need to guarantee too much. The biggest problem with this secret is that it has not been confirmed. I'm afraid that if it gets out, it will end up making a big mistake and being ridiculed.

As long as you two don't tell anyone, that's totally fine. "

Next, Senior Wang Mang gathered his thoughts and said slowly: "As for the 'spiritual shielding stone', I didn't even know that such a thing existed half a year ago.

But while browsing ancient books by chance half a year ago, I discovered this special thing. "

"Ancient books?" Prime Minister Cao became interested: "What kind of ancient books are they?"

"It is an ancient bamboo slip, probably from the Warring States Period." Senior Wang Mang replied: "Unfortunately, it is quite difficult to preserve this kind of bamboo slip. I just took a look at it and the whole bamboo slip was reduced to ashes. I was just in a hurry. I wrote down most of the words on the bamboo slips."

"So that's it." Prime Minister Cao looked thoughtful.

Su Yu asked seriously: "Senior Wang Mang, what exactly is written on the bamboo slips?"

"This bamboo slip records the origin of the 'spirit-shielding stone'. When I found the bamboo slip, there were two soul-shielding stones placed next to the bamboo slip."

Senior Wang Mang said and subconsciously touched his pocket, but found nothing.

At this time, he realized that he was in the game, not in the real world, so he retracted his hand in embarrassment: "Well, we are not in the real world now, otherwise I can show you two what the two spiritual shielding stones look like. "

Next, Senior Wang Mang told Su Yu and Prime Minister Cao the contents of the bamboo slips based on his own memory.

Although there are not many words on the bamboo slips, the content is very rich.

It took him nearly 10 minutes to fully read the contents on the bamboo slips.

Su Yu and Prime Minister Cao listened silently without interrupting.

While listening, they fell into deep thought at the same time.

The main content of the bamboo slips is - During the Warring States Period, the 'Lingshishi' was discovered by monks and spread, eventually causing a huge catastrophe among the monks.

The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period can be said to be the most abundant period of psychic energy in the entire history of China, even worse than the earlier Shang and Zhou dynasties. Valley

At that time, hundreds of schools of thought were prosperous, and even mortals could attain enlightenment and become immortals.

There are as many monks as there are crucian carp crossing the river, and even the farmers in the mountains know a few tricks and can split rocks with their bare hands.

But at this moment, the "Shielding Stone" appeared.

"Spirit-shielding stones" can block the monks' perception. After the monks lost their proud perception, a large number of assassins appeared in every corner of the monk world.

As long as they hold the "Spirit Shielding Stone", high-level monks will even be assassinated to death by monks several levels below themselves. The competition for resources in the monk world has never stopped, which has led to the death of many well-known high-level strong men.

These high-level powerful men will more or less control some forces.

Their fall caused these forces, large and small, to completely lose control, eventually leading to a tragedy that swept the entire monk world.

In just a short period of nearly a hundred years, the number of monks in the entire Huaxia region dropped by almost one-third, and it has never recovered since.

Moreover, at that time, most of the high-level monks were concentrated in the Central Plains, and the border areas were less affected.

Because of this, monks in border areas began to rise, which ultimately laid the foundation for the "King of Qin's Conquest of Liuhe".

…

After listening to Senior Wang Mang's description, Su Yu sighed softly: "I have mentioned what you mentioned to Senior Yang Jian. He was one of the people who experienced it, but it was not as detailed as what you said.

I just didn’t expect that the catastrophe was actually related to the ‘spiritual shielding stone’. "

Prime Minister Cao also nodded thoughtfully.

However, he quickly wondered: "Fellow Taoist Wang Mang, this catastrophe is related to the spirit-shielding stone, but it shouldn't be considered a secret, right?"

"Of course not." Senior Wang Mang smiled.

Then he said: "Do the two of you know where you are going after the Soul Shielding Stone?"

"I know this." Su Yu said, "I have heard from my seniors before that all the spiritual shielding stones in the country were confiscated by Qin Shi Huang and then destroyed."

Senior Wang Mang stroked his long beard, smiled and shook his head: "This is the key to the secret. In fact, these spirit-shielding stones were not destroyed, but collected and used in other places.

Think about it, if you were Qin Shihuang Ying Zheng, after obtaining such a useful thing, would you want to make good use of it? Or destroy it? "

"Of course... take advantage of it. Find Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyuan.com "

"Emperor Qin had the same idea at that time."

"Then how exactly did he use it?"

"Actually, I'm not very sure about this." Senior Wang Mang slowly shook his head and said:

“In the past six months, I have been investigating where these ‘spiritual shielding stones’ have gone, and the result is that during the reign of the First Emperor, he built a cemetery in Rongcheng, and the main structure was entirely made of ‘spiritual shielding stones’.

Because this kind of stone can obscure the perception of our monks, it is perfect for building cemeteries. It will definitely not be targeted by monks, and ordinary tomb robbers will have no way to deal with it. "

"So that's what happened." Su Yu nodded.

It turns out that the tomb of Qin Shihuang is in Rongcheng in the southwest rather than Chang'an.

No wonder after so many years, people have only discovered some terracotta warriors and horses in Chang'an, and no one has discovered the location of the real tomb of the First Emperor.
