"It's reasonable to say so..." Qin Wangzheng sat on another stool, twirling his fingertips, holding the bamboo slip and thinking about something.
"Brother Chao, who is your respected master? Can you extradite him?"
The relationship between Qin Wangzheng and Ji Chao is very subtle. They seem to be normal monarchs and ministers, but they are definitely not normal monarchs and ministers.
In the first month of last year, Ji Chao, who had always liked strange and obscene skills, found his master and was able to seek immortality.
"Master's words..." Ji Chao looked a little hesitant, "To be honest with you, Master, he is not in Qin for the time being."
"Is that so... I'll think about it for myself first, but there is a place that I'm very interested in." Putting the bamboo slips aside, Qin Wangzheng had a faint smile on his face, "Wei, Qi, Song
, the junction of the Three Kingdoms, do you know?”
"Your Majesty, are you referring to the Yin Ruins?" Ji Chao put down the pen in his hand and looked at Qin Wangzheng.
"Exactly." Qin Wangzheng nodded, stood up, and knocked on the table, "It has been a long time since the Shang Dynasty. If there is any place where some things from the Shang Dynasty can be left, it is only the Yin Ruins.
Bar."
Turning around, Qin Wangzheng looked at his friend with a smile on his face: "How about it? Are you willing to go for me?"
Ji Chao was stunned for a moment, then stood up with a smile on his face, bowed to Qin Wangzheng and raised his hands: "Chao must obey the orders of the Lord."
...
Although it was said that Ji Chao would go for him, the two never found a suitable time. In the twelfth lunar month of 243 BC, Ji Chao's master returned to Xianyang and found Ji Chao.
At this time, Xianyang was discussing the war in the Central Plains. Even if Ji Chao's master wanted to see Qin Wangzheng, Qin Wangzheng did not have time to see him.
That Taoist is known as "Taoist Si Ji", he is knowledgeable about world affairs, and knows all kinds of magical techniques to avoid death and prolong life.
"Disciple, you have to be prepared." Taoist Si Ji was very old and looked to be over fifty years old.
He squeezed Ji Chao's shoulders, with worry in his eyes: "The relationship between you and the King of Qin is irreversible. You still need to bring the words that I can't bring."
"Then what are you going to do, master?" Ji Chao looked at his master.
"I have other things to do." Taoist Si Ji let go of his hand and looked embarrassed.
"I'll explain to you what needs to be explained clearly first. By the way, I forgot to ask you. Can you learn the thought key patterns I taught you a few years ago?"
"Disciple has mastered it." Ji Chao let his spirit sink slowly, his magic power drove the spell, linked the thought key pattern, and then let the power of the thought key pattern permeate his whole body.
"That's good, that's good." Taoist Si Ji breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and touched Ji Chao's head, "Fortunately, I didn't choose the wrong person, fortunately..."
"Then, let me explain it to you, disciple."
Bang——
Taoist Si Ji stepped on the ground next to him, and his spirit also sank into the depths of his thoughts, connecting to the thought key pattern.
His hands seemed to be holding something, and Taoist Si Ji's pupils reflected light.
The object in his hand flew out, Taoist Si Ji got off his horse and slapped the ground with his palm.
Boom boom boom——
A three-dimensional and huge map appeared in Ji Chao's yard.
"Master, this is..."
Ji Chao looked around in surprise.
"This is one of the celestial arts recorded in the thought key pattern. It is also called magic, but in the final analysis it is just a name. In essence, it is a phenomenon formed by magic power." Taoist Si Ji put his hands behind his back and looked serious, "Disciple
Son, the place under your feet is Xianyang today, but it’s just... a shrunken Xianyang.”
"And where I am, toward the southwest of Xianyang, is the Qiang tribe." Taoist Si Ji stamped his feet, "It is the territory of foreign tribes, a barbaric land outside the Central Plains."
"Disciple understands."
Ji Chao nodded. He had discussed this matter before when he was talking to Qin Wangzheng.
The Qiang tribes are located in the southwest of Qin State. Even among the foreign tribes outside the Central Plains, they are a quite powerful force.
"After becoming a god, the mystery gradually disappears into the inside of the world."
"But the order of concealment is first and then last."
Taoist Si Ji drew marks on his hands and continued to use his magic.
The map shrinks and the radiated territory becomes larger.
"The Central Plains is right here, where we are."
"As powerful beings, the gods were the first to be rejected by the world and entered the inner world, but alien species are different."
"They are weaker than gods, but stronger than humans. When there are gods, they naturally don't dare to make mistakes."
"But now, the gods have disappeared, and humans have become the only masters of the rich Central Plains."
"Isn't that a foreign race..." Ji Chao frowned.
Taoist Si Ji smiled and said: "An Xin, the gods know the cause and effect, so they naturally left a backup plan."
"The great formation covering the Central Plains, which can only go out but not in, is the back-up of the gods." Taoist Si Ji said with a smile while stroking his beard.
"But... the great formation itself seems to be regarded as mysterious, and with the wear and tear of time, it is gradually losing its effectiveness. Some alien races and spirits have entered the Central Plains through loopholes."
"In the past two years, when I went out, I naturally defeated those alien races and spirits."
"I see, but the big formation is still losing its effectiveness?" Ji Chao pinched his chin.
Taoist Si Ji did not speak, but looked at Ji Chao with a smile.
Ji Chao's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Master, you said before that the gods are familiar with cause and effect, so they should have taken this into consideration, so..."
"Don't say it, don't say it." Taoist Si Ji laughed twice, put away his magic, and got out of the state of thought key patterns, "You just need to realize it, but you must not say it."
"...Yes, my disciple knows." Ji Chao nodded solemnly.
"You only need to tell King Qin that the aliens are ready to make a move. He will naturally know what to do." Putting his hands behind his back, Taoist Si Ji nodded, "Qin Chu and Zhao Yan have suffered from the aliens for a long time. Even if they are mortals, they are just aliens."
It can also be dealt with."
"When you and I, Master and Disciple, meet again, that's when the dust has settled." Taoist Si Ji walked out without any hesitation, "Until then, just let nature take its course."
Seeing Taoist Si Ji disappear at the door of his house, Ji Chao hurriedly chased after him and bowed to say goodbye: "Master, I have remembered what I said, master, please go slowly!"
Taoist Si Ji waved his hand with his back to Ji Chao, and disappeared from Ji Chao's sight after a while.
Ji Chao then straightened up, with a little cold sweat on his cheeks.
Returning to the bedroom, he grabbed the little wooden bird, connected the thought key patterns, snapped his fingers, and the wooden bird flew towards the Qin Palace in a swaying manner.
