Chapter 61: Chapter 61: Immortal Relics
On the Pamir Plateau, some small spaceships landed, transported all the bodies away, and cleaned up the mecha that Lao Chen had smashed.
Mo Hai, Xia Qing, and Chen Kai were no exception. They were placed on cold stretchers and covered with several feet of white cloth.
Wang Xuan sighed and said that he must be careful and live well. He must not be careless. Even the Grand Master had fallen to this point, and he was still far from the three of them.
"Xiao Wang, what are you sighing about? You kicked a Grand Master to death." Wu Chenglin said.
Wang Xuan felt that Lao Wu was definitely doing it on purpose. He didn't want others to mention this record now, and wanted to keep a low profile and get away with it.
There were also medium-sized spaceships landing on the frozen soil to rescue the wounded. There were more advanced medical equipment in the cabin and very professional medical staff.
The seriously injured were quickly carried away, and the lightly injured were bandaged on the spot. Soon those people were treated.
Wang Xuan also came over and asked Qingmu to say hello. He pretended to be seriously injured and said that his heart and lungs were shattered and he was seriously injured.
Everything was to keep a low profile. He didn't want to be seen as a newcomer in the old art, and he didn't want to be labeled as the successor of Lao Chen.
Qingmu did go to find someone, but a new female medical staff member came in the middle and told Wang Xuan that he was fine and much stronger than ordinary people.
Wang Xuan whispered to her that there was a problem with his heart and lungs and it hurt a lot, but this girl was very straightforward and got angry and shouted: "You have no problem at all, your heart and lungs are stronger than those of large beasts!"
Wang Xuan turned around and left, not wanting to say another word to her, which actually had the opposite effect. Many people looked at him sideways and grinned when they looked at him.
The battle of Congling ended very tragically. Three grandmasters of the new art were killed. Although the old art won, the only person in the lineup fell down.
One after another, cold warships, interstellar spaceships, etc. cut through the sky and left this plateau.
Wang Xuan and Qingmu escorted Lao Chen back to Ancheng. According to the opinions of the expert group, normal medical methods are no longer useful and manpower has been exhausted.
A group of masters who follow the old art path followed to this city, wanting to send Lao Chen off for the last time, with a sad look.
In fact, some organizations and chaebols in Xinxing and Jiutu also sent people to Ancheng to pay tribute to Lao Chen at the right time.
Wang Xuan felt that this atmosphere was very strange. All parties were probably booking wreaths and preparing to hold a memorial service. What if he brought Lao Chen back to life?
Qingmu's face was full of sorrow. After noticing the movements of all parties, he was really sad. He also thought that his master would not survive.
As for Wang Xuan's talk of saving Lao Chen, Qingmu was completely a last-ditch effort and didn't believe it. Now he was saddened by the scene and was ready to arrange Lao Chen's funeral.
Wang Xuan estimated that if Lao Chen came back to life, he would definitely want to beat up this group of people, including everyone present!
Qingmu took Lao Chen to the manor in the suburbs. The place was very large and suitable for settling the group of people who followed the old art path.
The calm and deep-eyed deputy of the relevant department came in person and talked to Qingmu for a while.
Then he handed out a box, which contained two golden bamboo leaves with rich vitality. This was the pre-Qin wonder under the Greater Khingan Range - the Feathered Divine Bamboo.
There were not many things, but the friendship was there. The deputy of the relevant department was very good at dealing with people. He told Qingmu to give Lao Chen a try first. If the injury improved significantly, he would think of a way.
The effect of two leaves would not be very great, and it was impossible to bring the dead back to life, but he was really thoughtful to send two leaves of the Feathered Divine Bamboo.
Before he left, he told Qingmu that he would come to see Lao Chen again in two days, which was probably an indirect hint that he would come to attend the memorial service.
Seeing this, Old Wu asked Da Wu to quickly book a wreath in advance. Two days later, people from relevant departments would come to mourn Old Chen. By then, all parties would come to join in the fun. Maybe it would be difficult to buy wreaths.
Wang Xuan looked down at Old Chen lying there motionless and sighed, "Old Chen, I am going against the world. In order to save you, am I going to risk the world's taboo?"
Relevant departments and other related parties, all those who promised to send various old things were delivered by small spacecraft at night, filling up a room.
In order to clear himself, Wang Xuan did not contact them at the first time. In fact, he and Qingmu tried to avoid frequent encounters.
However, he still received the note and knew what was sent. At that time, his mood began to fluctuate.
It turned out to be a relic of the immortals, a peach wood sword used by Lu Dongbin, which was said to have been dug out from the place where Lu Zu practiced in Zhongtiao Mountain.
Wang Xuan continued to look at the list. There was also a broken furnace used by Ge Hong to make elixirs. This really shocked Wang again and made him even more unconvinced.
This person was quite famous. There were more than a dozen of his works included in the Daoist Canon. The more famous ones were "Baopuzi" and "Yuhanfang".
Wang Xuan seriously suspected that there was something wrong with the things on the list. Even the relics of people like Lu Zu could be easily found. Then he would not go to Xinxing and stay in Jiutu.
He couldn't help it. He found an opportunity to meet Qingmu and decided to go to the scene in person to see what the strange things were.
There was a room full of old objects, everything from bronze arrowheads to meteorite knives, to broken furnaces, and Tao Te Ching engraved on bamboo slips, and even pots and pans that were said to be dug out from ancient caves.
Wang Xuan was disappointed after taking a glance. What were these things? Maybe they were antiques, but they were definitely not related to the strange things he wanted.
The so-called peach wood sword used by Lu Dongbin looked charred, as if it had been struck by lightning, but there was no mysterious factor in it, so he just threw it aside.
Qingmu was anxious and said, "Slow down, this is a favorite of a certain old man, and it has been placed in the study all year round to ward off evil spirits!"
"Okay." Wang Xuan picked up the broken alchemy furnace that was said to have been used by Ge Hong to make elixirs, but he didn't want to take a second look at it and almost threw it away.
There were a lot of antiques in the room, and he didn't like any of them, and he was extremely disappointed.
He sighed, it was really hard to find strange objects related to the ascension of the immortals, but he was relieved after thinking about it carefully. If any old object was related to the ascension, it would be strange.
"None of these will work." Wang Xuan shook his head.
Qingmu was naturally disappointed and said, "Then go to another yard."
"There are more?" Wang Xuan was surprised.
Qingmu nodded and said, "There is no room here. I asked someone to put the ones sent later in another yard."
This time, as soon as Wang Xuan stepped into the new yard, he realized that there was a "big fish" in it, the feathered wonder he needed, and there was a chance to save Lao Chen.
He didn't even need Qingmu to introduce it. He quickly found a jade box from a pile of old things and opened it directly. There was a black bone in it, emitting a rich mysterious substance that ordinary people could hardly sense!
Wang Xuan was sure that this was a rare feathered wonder in the world. It was so rare that he actually encountered it. He wiped it with his hand, and the black color faded a little, and the bone actually had a light golden luster.
His heart was pounding. Is this the legendary golden bone? And the charred black color on the outside, he guessed that it was probably caused by thunder bombardment!
"Who sent this and where did you get it from?" He couldn't help asking.
"The relevant department later sent a batch of additional items, and there was this bone. Wait a minute, I'll see how it is introduced on the list." Qingmu lowered his head to check.
After a while, he found it and said, "This was found near a collapsed nameless Taoist temple. After excavating and cleaning the site, there were no other important objects, only this piece of bone left."
Wang Xuan sighed: "Mountains are not famous for their height, but for the immortals. Water is not deep, but for the dragons. In a nameless Taoist temple, there are relics of the immortals."
Qingmu was a little confused. Can Xiao Wang be sure that this is a relic related to the immortal through a piece of black bone? He seriously doubted it.
Wang Xuan glanced at him and said, "Trust my judgment. I think this is very likely the bones left by a fairy!"
"Are you overthinking it?" Qingmu looked at him and said, "There are creepy black bones buried in the desolate mountains and ridges and the dilapidated Taoist temple. I think even if there are abnormalities, they are mostly related to the banshee or the devil."
Wang Xuan quickly interrupted him and said, "You should say less. It concerns the life and death of your master. Don't talk nonsense."
Qingmu immediately shut up. At this moment, he was willing to believe that Xiao Wang was fully blessed.
Wang Xuan did not stop, and quickly walked to the side, grabbed a wooden box, and opened it directly. He was immediately very happy. This is another good thing.
In the box was a piece of jade, with part of the stone skin, and the part of the jade flesh exposed was white and delicate, warm and shiny, a rare uncut jade.
"This stone was dug out from the ruins of an old city in the Han Dynasty. It was collected by an old senior and appreciated as a natural raw stone ornament."
Wang Xuan could naturally guess that after someone passed away, the rich mysterious substance melted into this jade stone. It was a very authentic feather fossil.
Then, he found the last strange thing, a broken bone as white as jade, more than half a foot long, and it was hard to tell which part of the body it corresponded to.
"This is something left in the original underground palace after the Buddhist ancestral temple moved to Xinxing." Qingmu said.
"The bones of a monk?" Wang Xuan was surprised.
Qingmu shook his head. This was still something sent by the relevant departments. They were very particular and listed the origins of each artifact.
"It is said that it was dug out from the deep soil layer under the underground palace of the Buddhist ancestral temple. At that time, it was wrapped with iron chains and tied to this bone."
"Could it be a demon or person with a background that was suppressed by the Buddhist ancestral temple back then?" Wang Xuan was a little suspicious.
Qingmu said: "This bone is very normal, and no abnormal incident has ever occurred."
"Let's try it later." Wang Xuan said, there is nothing to be afraid of. No matter how far back she came from, can she compare to the female Taoist priest who lived more than 3,000 years ago?
The female Taoist priest is extremely abnormal, and her body has been preserved until now. She is so amazing that she didn't do anything to Wang Xuan, so Xiao Wang is very brave now!
"Although it is a little different from my expectations, it can be used as a last resort. I hope I can successfully save your master." Wang Xuan decided to take action tonight and enter the inner scene!
