Chapter 427 Unpredictable people, descendants of the Bai family
The old man smiled slightly, stroked his beard and said, "Before answering your question, little brother, I have a question I want to ask you."
"Please say it."
"Do you know, little brother, who was the number one warrior in the Qin Dynasty under the First Emperor? What kind of troops were the most elite troops in the world at that time?" the old man asked lightly.
Li Rufeng frowned slightly, and then he thought of something and his eyes suddenly narrowed.
Looking at the mysterious old man, Li Rufeng's pupils tightened and he spoke in surprise: "Bai Qi? Are you... his descendant?"
The number one warrior of the Qin Dynasty was naturally the god of war Bai Qi, who was famous all over the world.
The old man nodded with approval, and his eyes became a little deeper in an instant, as if he was recalling something: "At that time, the spiritual realm launched a large-scale invasion, and his ancestors killed tens of thousands of powerful people in the spiritual realm, and became one of the few strong people to survive."
"His Majesty the First Emperor enfeoffed the treasures of the spiritual realm and hid them in the nine states of the world. Later, the First Emperor's tomb was built and the secret techniques were kept in the tombs. Then, our clan's generation guarded this Qianlong Island. Think about it, it has been more than three thousand years since it passed down for generations, right?"
"We say it is the Qianlong clan, but in fact, our lineage should be called the tomb guardian!"
Listening to the old man's words like recalling the past, Li Rufeng was a little surprised.
He had guessed the identity of the old man, and even the origin of the Qianlong clan, but he did not expect that they were descendants of the war god Bai Qi. How could he not surprise him?
"There is another thing I want to know, what's going on with your cultivation? As far as I know, since the shocking changes in the Qin Dynasty, no one has been able to enter the realm of all things. Why can you step in?"
In the battle between the Spirit Realm and the Great Qin Dynasty, the earth's spiritual veins collapsed and all the strong men fell. Even the powerful Emperor, who was extremely powerful, died in just two years. Not to mention now, even if he pushed forward for a thousand years, no one had ever heard of the existence of a powerful man in the Wanxiang Realm on Earth.
The old man smiled faintly and said, "There is no secret, it's just a secret method..."
The old man smiled and explained that after the tomb of Emperor First Emperor was built, the Bai family was entrusted by Emperor First Emperor to important tasks. While becoming the tomb guardian, Emperor First Emperor also passed on a secret method to them.
Similar to the transmission of power of initiation.
After the death of the tomb guardian, they can teleport their cultivation level into the body of the successor. This is a secret script that requires the cost of life and has also become the birth of every new tomb guardian.
Just like Bai Suxin, her cultivation was passed down by her mother. Her mother was the real world of everything.
After hearing the old man say it, Li Rufeng finally understood. It seems that he has really guessed it right. They do have secret methods.
"The third question, please come here, what are your intentions?"
"I want to ask for your help, it's related to the tomb of the First Emperor."
Li Rufeng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows gently, and said with a serious expression: "Then the question is again. My strength is just an ordinary realm of suffering, but you are half a step, even a real strong man in the world. How could you need my help?"
Li Rufeng thought of what Yi Tianxing said before and finally understood why Yi Tianxing knew so much, probably from the descendants of the Bai family. He continued: "If there is really a secret method to deal with the powerful people in the spiritual realm in the tomb of the First Emperor, I think you can take back that thing yourself, so why do you need me, an outsider?"
The old man sighed: "Little brother, do you think that I have never thought about this? But we are not qualified to enter the First Emperor's Mausoleum."
Speaking of this, the old man raised his eyes slightly and looked at the center of Qianlong Island in the distance.
There, a Tianshan Mountain with clouds towering across the sky suddenly appeared there.
It had no end, only white clouds were shrouded on the mountainside, but above the sky, there were countless dark clouds, which seemed to never dissipate.
In the dark clouds, it seems like there is something hidden in the power of destruction, as if it will descend and destroy everything at any time.
Li Rufeng's eyes followed the old man's gaze. When he saw this, his eyes suddenly narrowed: "Such a powerful formation?"
"Sure enough, the little brother has a deep understanding of the research on formations and can see the secret on the Tianshan Mountain at a glance. So, I don't need to explain it too much. The little brother should also know what the reason is, right?"
Li Rufeng was silent.
He didn't fully understand, but he thought of the general reason and said calmly: "It seems that the First Emperor, and even your ancestors, do not trust you descendants of the tribe so much. Otherwise, why should he set up such a formation that even the powerful people in the Wanxiang Realm can kill?"
The old man didn't mind, but just smiled and said, "The human heart is unpredictable, especially the things inside, which are also known by the Spirit Realm. The First Emperor and the ancestors naturally have to consider any possibility. Not only do they need to stop the destruction of the people in the Spirit Realm, but they also have to do it well. The betrayal of our tribe members cannot let His Majesty's arrangements go to waste, right?"
Li Rufeng nodded lightly: "That's true."
After Li Rufeng asked his questions, the mysterious old man chatted with him for a few more words and then walked away, but before leaving, he kept Li Rufeng.
The dusk of Qianlong Island is very beautiful.
Li Rufeng had already agreed to the old man, but he did not go to the tomb of the First Emperor as soon as possible, because it was not yet time.
The opening of the First Emperor's Mausoleum will be half a month later, and even Li Rufeng cannot force it to open it.
Of course, this also told Li Rufeng that it was only half a month since the strong men in the spiritual realm officially arrived.
However, this is good. What exactly is there in the tomb of the First Emperor and what crisis is there? Even the Bai family members of the tomb guarding the tomb are not very clear about. Li Rufeng can take advantage of this for half a month to practice his cultivation.
The rich spiritual energy here is so strong that it is unbelievable, so Li Rufeng readily agreed to the old man and temporarily live in Qianlong Island.
Although he lives here, not everyone welcomes him, such as Bai Suxin.
As for why she was unwilling to pay attention to Li Rufeng, Li Rufeng understood a little bit, because he was the first to come in when he first arrived in Qianlong Island, which may have hit her self-esteem.
Li Rufeng did not take Bai Suxin's disregard for her, but lived in the bamboo building assigned by the old man and devoted himself to practicing.
He already knew the old man's name, Bai Yi and the middle-aged man, who was his son and Bai Suxin's father Bai Zhan.
After living for a few days, Li Rufeng discovered some secrets, such as Bai Suxin's personality is relatively lively, but her father Bai Zhan is a taciturn man.
The relationship between the two is obviously not very good.
At least, during the days when he moved into Qianlong Island, Li Rufeng had never seen anything between the father and daughter. He could even clearly feel that Bai Suxin seemed a little afraid of Baizhan.
Moreover, sometimes when Li Rufeng came out in the middle of the night, he saw Bai Suxin sitting alone by the lake in a daze, while Bai Zhan looked at her back from afar, and was also dazed.
Bai Zhan's eyes often showed a complicated look, including guilt, regret, anger, and self-blame.
