Chapter 2166 The Thatched Cottage Stone Seal

Qin Sang first picked out the jade slips, one of which was a geomancy map drawn by Si Huang, marking the location of the cave.

After comparing, Qin Sang found that this place was not far from Chihu.

However, after obtaining the Yanshan Pearl, the Siyou royal family gave up that place and had not been there for a long time. I don’t know what changes have taken place during this period.

The other jade slip was obtained from the cave, but it did not record the secret techniques, otherwise Si Huang might be able to calculate which tribe the Yanshan Pearl came from, and it would not be Qin Sang’s turn.

Qin Sang separated a ray of consciousness, probed into the jade slip, and looked at it carefully. After a while, he let out a light exclamation and his expression became more focused.

The content of the jade slip was very chaotic, without any rules, and was all fragmented content, and many of them were meaningless, just like an essay written by a person on a whim, recording his sudden thoughts.

The more Qin Sang read, the more interesting it became.

There are romantic stories, sad stories of spring and autumn, and several poems that do not pay attention to parallelism.

There are also many contents that record only a picture that the owner of the jade slip suddenly glimpsed, without a beginning or an end.

For example, it is a place that is very familiar to the owner of the jade slip, where the mountains and waters remain the same, only the weather, time and people have changed, and the scenery is similar to the past. But at a certain time, when the owner of the jade slip suddenly glimpsed this scenery, he felt an inexplicable touch.

The jade slip wrote that this touch was fleeting, and the owner of the jade slip did not know the source of the touch. Sometimes he would stay in the same place and stare at that place for hundreds or even thousands of days and nights, but he could never catch it again.

"The owner of the jade slip must be a very delicate person..."

Qin Sang thought.

Most people forget this kind of touch in a flash most of the time, and will not care about it, or even realize that this touch has appeared.

However, this touch may be the source of inspiration.

In ancient times, the sages observed the heaven and earth to comprehend the way of cultivation. Today, people still cannot comprehend the way of heaven, as if it is a book that can never be finished, and practitioners only see the tip of the iceberg. This kind of touch may be accidentally touching some kind of heavenly truth, which hides opportunities.

In mythology, there are many legends of gods and strange people who suddenly became enlightened, ascended to heaven in one step, and even ascended from the ground. For these cultivators who have gone through untold hardships and practiced step by step, it seems incredible, but who can be sure that such things have not happened?

The so-called practice method is nothing more than a guide left by the predecessors to the future generations. Before the predecessors, when there was no practice method, they all directly comprehended the way of heaven and obtained the Tao.

Qin Sang read with great interest and almost forgot his purpose. He felt regretful when he saw the end, because the record of the owner of the jade slip was very brief, and at most he annotated some simple ideas and thoughts of his own, and stopped there. Qin Sang wanted to know if the owner of the jade slip had gained anything from these touches, but there was no follow-up record on it. It seemed that the record was just a temporary idea and he forgot about it later.

These inspirations belonged to the owner of the jade slip, which were of course not suitable for Qin Sang, but Qin Sang did not gain nothing. From those few words, Qin Sang was inspired a lot and could understand the law of the owner of the jade slip thinking about things.

He had a feeling that the owner of the jade slip was not like the alien race, but had some similar ideas to the human cultivators.

The alien race and the human race were born with different talents. The alien race was born with blood and supernatural powers, which would inevitably cause differences in the understanding of the world itself, cultivation, and even the Tao. Qin Sang had a deep understanding of this. But he had not come into contact with enough alien races, and the number of times he discussed Tao was even fewer, so he was not sure.

Over the years, there have been many human cultivators who have entered the holy land, but it is unknown whether any human great power has left a cave in the holy land. However, if we continue to trace back, before becoming the holy land of the alien race, Yuanjiao Immortal Mountain had other owners, and perhaps it was once controlled by the great human beings, leaving traces that have survived to this day.

Qin Sang withdrew his consciousness from the jade slip, put it aside, and looked at other items. After exploring them one by one, he finally locked onto one of them.

This is a golden book, shining with golden light, woven from three golden pages, with no words on it. When activated by true essence, it will only burst out with more dazzling golden light, without any other magical features.

Other treasures are like the golden book, and seem to have nothing to do with the way of thunder.

Qin Sang thought of the hidden rhythm of the Yanshan Pearl, and activated these treasures over and over again, and continued to test with the thunder method, and indeed made new discoveries.

This golden book also hides a rhythm similar to the Yanshan Pearl!

Qin Sang was overjoyed and tried to capture this rhythm, but failed. After some thought, he sacrificed the Yanshan Pearl and casually performed a thunder method.

The moment the thunder method was sealed, the rhythm in the Yanshan Pearl would appear.

Qin Sang put the two treasures together and activated them at the same time, trying to make the rhythm appear at the same time.

Hard work pays off. After Qin Sang's continuous attempts, he finally reached a certain opportunity. Qin Sang clearly felt that the rhythm hidden in the golden book was triggered by the Yanshan Pearl!

‘Wow! ’

The golden book opened by itself, and golden light shone.

Qin Sang looked at it intently, and saw mysterious patterns emerging on the golden page, accompanied by countless mysterious runes. When all the patterns were activated, these patterns were combined together, and at first glance it seemed to be a formation.

However, Qin Sang soon changed this inference. What was engraved on the golden book was not a formation, but more like a guide. The real mystery can only be understood by seeing this spiritual formation.

"I don't know if that spiritual formation is in the cave, it seems I need to go there myself," Qin Sang closed the golden book and murmured.

He glanced at the geomancy map, then looked towards the direction of Chihu, his face showing a thoughtful look.

Chihu was very calm, and there was still no trace of the enemy.

The two places were not far apart, and it was completely in time to just take a look. I was just afraid that something would happen and I would be trapped there and unable to get out.

In the end, Qin Sang couldn't help his curiosity and decided to go and take a look.

As for Chihu, there was not much hope of getting rid of the enemy here, and Qin Sang was more to explore the enemy's strength.

The Qianjun Ring flashed with spiritual light, emitting a faint light, and Min Zhuo, who had become a refined corpse, was summoned by Qin Sang.

After killing Ji Jian and the other two, Qin Sang was given a corpse and a beast corpse, but considering that there might be restrictions on changing the body, and now was the time when help was needed, he still left the black gold skull on Min Zhuo.

Leaving Min Zhuo to stare at the Red Lake, Qin Sang left the cave, identified the direction, and quietly escaped.

Two hours later.

Qin Sang slowed down his speed, looked down at the earth, and kept moving his sight to find the target.

Soon he found something, his figure flashed, fell to the ground, walked through the mountains and fields, and soon came to a waterside.

‘Hua La La…’

The waves hit the rocks on the shore, crisp and pleasant.

A ray of morning light appeared on the horizon, there were fish scale-like waves in the water, and a faint morning mist floated on the water, flowing like water.

Qin Sang stood on the shore, staring into the depths of the morning mist, and vaguely saw the outline of an island. The pearl was found on this island.

From a distance, the island was unusually quiet. It was a good place to cultivate one’s body and mind, if the environment here had not changed. Qin Sang flashed this thought in his mind, hid his figure, stepped on the water, walked through the morning mist for a while, and the island was already in sight.

The island was much wider than when he looked at it from the shore. Qin Sang glanced over it and saw dark and deep mountain shadows. The naked eye could not see anything unusual.

In fact, there was a large island protection formation on this island. It was because of the island protection formation that the island could exist until now.

Qin Sang sensed it and confirmed that the island protection formation was still there, but it was unknown whether the cave inside was still there. It was not only the Siyou family who knew about and entered this island.

Sensing the change in the power of the formation, Qin Sang deduced in his mind for a while, and suddenly took a step forward and landed on a black stone on the shore.

‘Huh! ’

A gust of cold wind blew, and the scenery in front of him suddenly changed.

It was still the island, but the black stone under Qin Sang’s feet disappeared, and he was moved somewhere else unknowingly.

The island protection formation was a maze formation. The target seemed to be close at hand, but in fact it was far away. If the cultivator was not proficient in the method of exploration, he might be trapped here if he rushed in rashly.

However, the rules of this formation have been figured out. Qin Sang did not choose to break the formation in a high-profile manner because he considered that there might be other people on the island.

In this kind of maze formation, if you take a wrong step, all your efforts will be wasted. Qin Sang was calm and let the surrounding scenery change. He was unmoved and walked slowly forward.

Gradually, Qin Sang saw fog rising around him, the scene was hazy, and the difficulty of breaking the formation became higher. He occasionally paused for a while to deduce the formation, but the speed was getting faster and faster.

Suddenly, Qin Sang's footsteps suddenly stopped, as if he sensed something, frowning and looking forward.

There was thick fog ahead, and the scene on the island could not be seen clearly with the naked eye. Qin Sang sensed that there was an unusual aura there, as if it was another cultivator.

When he stopped, the aura also stopped moving, confirming Qin Sang's guess.

They couldn't see each other.

Qin Sang secretly activated the divine power of the sky eye, but what he saw were the shadows of several mountains in the fog. It's not that the divine power of the Heaven's Eye has failed, but that the opponent is not in front of him. The opponent may be at the other end of the island. Because of the maze array, the qi of both sides is pulled together.

The two sides confronted each other in the air. Qin Sang did not move, showing great patience, and secretly calculated the position of the opponent.

After a while, the opponent was the first to lose his temper, and a pressure burst out and attacked Qin Sang.

Qin Sang snorted coldly, and then launched a pressure, confronting the opponent head-on.

The two pressures collided in the air, and there was no winner. Qin Sang was aggressive, stepped forward, and burst out a stronger pressure.

The opponent did not show signs of defeat, but clearly showed some hesitation, probably because Qin Sang was too strong, which made him worried. After a short stalemate, the opponent's breath suddenly shrank, and the pressure faded rapidly.

'Boom! '

The island shook.

Qin Sang looked up and saw a blue light streaking through the thick fog, disappearing into the sky in an instant.

This surprised Qin Sang. The other party actually chose to retreat directly. It was too cautious. But he thought about it again. They met here. The other party might have explored the island and bumped into him when he was about to leave.

The figure in the blue light was hard to see. Qin Sang didn't know what tribe the other party was from, and he didn't want to chase him. So he put away his pressure and continued to walk deeper into the formation.

Outside the island.

A blue light shot out, and a figure appeared in the morning mist.

This person was tall, with long limbs, and four fingers on both hands, connected by webbed flesh membranes. He flew out of the island, turned around and looked at the island, his eyes flickering, as if he was weighing something.

After a moment, the man shook his head gently, flew away with the escape light, and left in the air.

...

A storm was resolved invisibly.

Qin Sang didn't know what this person would do later, but he didn't relax his vigilance. The cultivators who participated in the trial came in groups. Only a few of them fought alone like him. Now that he only found the whereabouts of one person, how could he take it lightly?

Finally, Qin Sang passed through the island protection formation and entered the island.

It was already early morning, and the island was not dark at all. The light was bright, and the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant. There were no ferocious beasts here. Like the normal world outside, there were many birds and beasts living here, full of vitality.

This island is very large. The cave where the Zhusui Zhu was obtained is only in a corner of the island. There are similar secret mansions in other places on the island.

However, according to Si Huang, after the island protection formation was cracked, it attracted many cultivators, and the secret mansions on the island were almost all looted.

He did not go directly to the cave, but searched around the island. On the one hand, he was on guard against the man and his companions hiding here, and on the other hand, he was looking for traces that could prove his previous judgment.

When he encountered other secret places, he would also go in to explore. As Si Huang said, they had been looted long ago, leaving only some empty pavilions and towers, and even the decorations inside had been moved away.

After this exploration, Qin Sang was sure that there was no one else on the island, so he flew towards the cave.

‘Boom! ’

There was a white silk in the sky, and the sound of water was deafening.

Qin Sang flew to the top of the waterfall and saw a pine and cypress forest. He flicked his fingers and a few streams of light sank into the forest. A large formation was formed in an instant, isolating the inside and the outside.

He landed on the ground and walked in the forest for a while. Suddenly, the front was open and a thatched cottage appeared. The thatched cottage was old, low and dilapidated, and it was about to fall down, but it had survived until now.

Seeing that this place had not been destroyed, Qin Sang felt relieved. He took a step forward and gently pushed open the half-closed wooden door. What came into view was a long offering table, or more precisely, a stone platform.

Qin Sang's eyes turned and fell to the left side of the stone platform.

The stone platform was where the beads and other items were placed. It was unknown how long they had been there, leaving marks on the surface. Qin Sang saw a square mark at a glance. It was obvious that the golden book had been placed here before.

Being in the thatched cottage, Qin Sang did not sense the existence of the formation, but when he saw the mark of the golden book, he suddenly had an impulse to put the golden book back to its original place.

His expression moved slightly, but he did not rush to move. He turned and walked out of the thatched cottage, stood in front of the door, and stared into the sky.

After waiting for a long time, Qin Sang did not see the man return, so he returned to the house, took out the golden book, gently put it into the mark, and immediately triggered the rhythm hidden in the golden book.
