I created Qin Tianjian in modern times

Zhao Qi led the team members on the journey to the depths of Kunlun Mountain without saying a word. Along the way, the team members looked a little solemn.

Until this moment, they still had no idea who they were about to face.

However, before they had gone far, the team members caught a glimpse of several boxes placed on the side of the mountain road.

These boxes were obviously items from the Kunlun Military Region, but the team members were full of doubts as to why they appeared here.

Zhao Qi did not show any surprise when he saw these boxes. He slowly stopped and turned to the team members and said:

"Take these boxes with you. They will be our secret weapons against the dragons."

When the team members heard this, their eyes widened.

How could just a few inconspicuous boxes become the key to fighting against the dragon clan as Zhao Qi said?

But at this moment, no one in the team asked any questions, and they all stepped forward to lift the box.

There was a talisman pasted on the seals of these boxes, and the handles on both sides of the boxes were tied with red cloth strips.

There were five boxes in total, and the team members soon discovered that the talismans on each box were different.

Zhu Qingyang observed carefully and found that some of these talismans were used to exorcise evil spirits, some were used to pray for blessings and security, and there were also talismans specifically used for harmony among people, and so on.

The five boxes were all different, and the team members couldn't figure out what they meant for a moment.

Zhu Qingyang, who was well-informed and had extensive research on spells, quickly came up with an idea:
"These five boxes seem to correspond to the five ancient rituals."

Upon hearing this, the team members all turned their eyes to Zhu Qingyang. It seemed that this was the first time they had heard of the Five Rites.

Zhu Qingyang and Han Feng followed behind Zhao Qi, carrying a box, and said thoughtfully:

“The Five Rites of Ancient Times is a general term for the etiquette of the Han nationality.

Sacrificial affairs are auspicious rites, funerals are inauspicious rites, military affairs are military rites, guest affairs are guest rites, and weddings are auspicious rites. Together they are called the Five Rites.

That is, auspicious ceremonies, inauspicious ceremonies, military ceremonies, guest ceremonies, and auspicious ceremonies.

The auspicious ceremony is the first of the five ceremonies, and is mainly a ceremony to worship the gods of heaven, earth, and human ghosts.

Worship the gods of heaven, such as Lord Haotian, the sun, the moon, the stars, Si Zhong, Siming, and the Rain Master;
Offering sacrifices to local gods such as the altar of grain, the Five Emperors, the Five Mountains, mountains, forests, rivers, lakes, and all things in the four directions;

"Sacrifices to human ghosts such as the former kings and ancestors, as well as various rituals of offering sacrifices to the former kings and ancestors, such as the sacrifices in spring and autumn."

The team members were still digesting Zhu Qingyang's words when his voice rang out again:

“The ceremony is a ritual to enhance interpersonal relationships and to communicate and bond with others.

Auspicious ceremonies mainly include ceremonies of eating and drinking, ceremonies of wedding and wearing caps, ceremonies of archery for guests, ceremonies of banquets, ceremonies of eating meat, ceremonies of congratulations, etc.

The guest etiquette is the etiquette for receiving guests, and the military etiquette is the etiquette for military exercises and conquests.

As for the box that the captain and I were carrying, it seemed to represent a funeral ceremony.

Funeral rites are rites of sympathy, condolences and sorrow...

The funeral rites mourn the dead; the famine rites mourn the famine; the mourning rites mourn the disaster; the funeral rites mourn the siege and defeat; the mourning rites mourn the invasion and rebellion.

When the team members heard Zhu Qingyang's words, they were a little at a loss.

They had never heard of the Five Rites before, so they had no idea what they were used for.

Fortunately, at this time, Zhao Qi nodded slightly, which was considered as confirmation of Zhu Qingyang's guess.

Now the other team members finally understood that these five boxes really represented the five ancient rituals.

However, the team members could not figure out what direct connection these five rituals had with the dragon clan.

As the group went deeper into the mountains, the calamity clouds that had gathered above the Kunlun Military Region dissipated with the departure of Zhao Qi.

The long-lost sunshine finally shone on the Kunlun Military Region again, but at this time the Kunlun Military Region had become empty.

Blind Chen sat in front of the Lingbao Pavilion. Although he was blind, he seemed to be able to see. He slowly raised his head towards the sunlight.

And there was a mysterious power lingering around Blind Chen. If the team members were here, they would definitely be able to sense that this power was exactly the same as the power in Shaobing's book.

Each spiritual treasure in the world has its own spirituality. Compared with the confrontational Lingbao Pavilion on the first floor, the Lingbao Pavilion on the second floor seems much quieter.

Especially the Shaobing Book, which contains the mysteries of the changes of heaven and earth, and naturally transcends the six realms.

However, recently, Blind Chen seems to be very close to Shaobingshu, and the man and the spirit always discuss topics that outsiders simply cannot understand.

So much so that now the aura of Shaobingshu began to emanate from Blind Chen's body.

Obviously, there was no one beside Blind Chen, but at this moment he spoke quietly:

"Is their journey this time more likely to be good than bad, or more likely to be bad than good?"

It seemed like he was talking to himself, but Blind Chen heard a deep response from an old man:

"Good or bad luck is hard to predict, it is impossible to foresee..."

Blind Chen sighed deeply and sat alone in the sun, looking a little lonely.

……

At the same time, in the theater, an urgently formed exercise director team was rushing to Tongshan, the scheduled exercise location.

The joint exercise instructions issued by the theater were so sudden that the various military regions had no preparation in advance.

The provincial military regions urgently mobilized their subordinate military regions, and batches of military vehicles and helicopters were dispatched.

The entire province and city in the war zone have been making great efforts for several days in a row.

Everywhere you can see columns of military vehicles moving forward, carrying fully armed soldiers.

Even in the middle of the night, the sound of helicopters flying could be heard, so much so that people were wondering if a war was about to break out.

As for the Tongshan area, it is extremely lively, with temporary tents seen everywhere.

The area beyond five kilometers was completely blocked, so even the soldiers who came to participate in the exercise could only walk there with their luggage on their backs.

The ground sign indicator lights stayed on all night, helicopters came and went, and there were several military vehicles transporting supplies.

For the Kunlun Military Region, this exercise has other purposes.

But for other military regions in the theater, this is a real exercise and the largest joint exercise ever.

However, at this time in the exercise directorate, the director team composed of officers from all parties raised questions during the meeting.

“Why is this exercise so sudden? I’ve never heard of it before?”

"I don't know, it seems to be a temporary decision..."

"The influence of this kind of exercise cannot be underestimated. How dare the military approve such a temporary plan?"

Everyone expressed their opinions and was very confused about this sudden large-scale exercise.

This is not the military's style at all and has never happened before.

Wang Zhiguo met with the leader, and the two had a brief conversation, which finally made the leader understand the general idea.

The sudden launch of this exercise means that the Kunlun Military Region seems to be in big trouble.

Now that Zhao Qi and the 543 Exploration Team are no longer in the team, the leader has roughly guessed why Zhao Qi made such a decision.

He was protecting these soldiers and allowing them to quietly get through the crisis during the exercise.

In the leader's mind, Zhao Qi is an expert who will not be helpless in any situation. But this time the commotion is so big, what kind of crisis does it mean that the Kunlun Military Region will face?
However, no matter how the leader asked, Wang Zhiguo remained tight-lipped.

The leader could only suppress his worries and cooperate in completing the exercise.

Many people are concerned about Zhao Qi, especially those who know the situation like Chen Dong, who realize that this time Zhao Qi seems to be facing a major crisis alone.

There was nothing they could do but try their best not to cause any burden or trouble to Zhao Qi.

Therefore, Chen Dong also attended the event in person this time. As the chief director of the exercise, he personally controlled the progress of the exercise.

After all, the entire military is paying attention to this exercise, and other war zones are also watching.

You have to do it beautifully to give an explanation.

With the division of the red and blue sides completed and the exercise objectives formulated and approved, the exercise officially kicked off with Chen Dong's order.

Soon, the first gunshot was heard on Tongshan Mountain, followed by continuous gunshots one after another.

……

The hustle and bustle of Tongshan and the silence of Kunlun Mountain form a stark contrast.

Zhao Qi led the team members deep into the mountains and forests. The flowers and plants around them withered, and the trees died, making it look like a dead zone.

The ground beneath my feet began to crack and turn dark. The mountains that should have been like a paradise were now bare and desolate.

Birds and beasts were scattered, and carcasses of animals that failed to escape could be seen everywhere.

Zhu Qingyang quickly examined the bodies and found that their causes of death were extremely strange.

He looked like he was suffocating, but his body was so thin that it looked like he had starved to death.

These strange corpses make people feel very uncomfortable.

"Why has this place become like this? What on earth happened?" Zhu Qingyang looked around and asked with a puzzled look on his face.

Zhao Qi's heavy voice followed:
“The awakening of the dragon race is a devastating disaster for the world.

With every breath the dragon took, it was forcibly plundering the already weak spiritual energy.

These plants and animals rely on spiritual energy to grow and oxygen to survive.

But now, the most important spiritual energy has been taken away, and those animals that didn’t have time to escape have become corpses.”

Zhao Qi's words once again made the team members realize the seriousness of this crisis.

Only then did they understand that dragons relied on spiritual energy to function, not oxygen.

When the dragon clan was flourishing, the heaven and earth were full of spiritual energy, so naturally there would be no impact.

But now is the Dharma Ending Age, the spiritual energy is thin, and the ecological balance is barely maintained.

The sudden awakening of the dragon clan, every breath is destroying the most important foundation of this world.

The trouble is bigger than the team members imagined...

As we continued walking, the temperature suddenly dropped below zero.

The dissipation of spiritual energy caused abnormal changes in temperature, and the team members began to feel some impact.

The Kunlun Mountains, which were originally lush with trees, birdsong and flowers, have undergone such a huge change in their depths that the team members were shocked with every step they took.

"Chief, what should we do now? The Tianchi Lake is getting closer and closer, but why haven't we seen any dragon yet?" Yang Xueli carefully noticed something unusual and asked in confusion.

Zhao Qi looked towards the direction of Tianchi Lake on the distant mountains and shook his head slightly:
“Of course you can’t see it here. Dragons rely on spiritual energy. Even if they absorb the spiritual energy of the entire Kunlun Mountain, it is still not enough for them to fly freely.

That's why I want you to take the initiative and look for it first.

By the time the dragons come to Kunlun Military Region to call for justice, it means that the spiritual energy in this area has been exhausted, and this is irreversible damage."

Han Feng then said:

"That's right, the dragon vein here is already dying..."

Looking in the direction Han Feng pointed, the mountain range where the dragon vein was originally located has now completely cracked.

The cracks in the ground were ugly and shocking.

Zhu Qingyang threw out a talisman, and the dragon vein appeared under the power of the talisman. It was a gray-brown mountain dragon vein.

At this moment, the mountain dragon vein was lying there quietly, dying. Losing its spiritual energy would be equivalent to depriving the dragon vein of its source of life.

"Let's go, there are some things we need to solve after all..."

Zhao Qi said this calmly, and then walked along the mountain road towards Tianchi.

The further we went, the lower the temperature became. Before long, black snowflakes began to float in the sky.

All this was beyond the team members' understanding and made them feel terrified.

Kunlun Mountain is heading towards irreversible extinction. If this problem cannot be resolved in time, I am afraid that the holy land of Kunlun will no longer exist in the world.

The players still don’t know how to respond.

Zhao Qi didn't say much about this.

After seeing these shocking scenes, Wang Ye couldn't help himself:
"Captain, how are we going to subdue the dragons? And what are these boxes used for?"

In response to Wang Ye's question, Zhao Qi pondered for a moment and replied:
“Right now we don’t know much about the dragon clan’s situation, so we first need to figure out how many dragons have awakened, and to what extent the other dragons have awakened.

Only then can I be sure that these boxes will work.”

After hearing this, the team members all showed puzzled expressions.

Seeing this, Zhao Qi patiently explained:

“The dragon itself is not an evil creature, but a sacred creature created by heaven and earth.

In the Age of Dharma-rectification, although dragons need to absorb a large amount of spiritual energy to sustain themselves, their breath can also create a large amount of spiritual energy.

The dragon formed a certain harmony with nature, so in the records of later generations, there was an image of the dragon that could call the wind and rain and turn the rivers and seas upside down.

But now the spiritual energy is thin and is no longer suitable for the existence of dragons.

Although a dragon's breath can produce a large amount of spiritual energy, this spiritual energy will only be absorbed by other dragons.

In this way, it is only a matter of time before all the dragons wake up. During this period, all the spiritual energy will probably be consumed.

If we don’t handle this properly, we will be opening the door to a new era.

The Dharma Ending Age will end with the awakening of the dragon race, but because the awakening of the dragon race breeds a large amount of spiritual energy, the next Dharma Establishing Age will arrive ahead of schedule.

This is the most terrifying future, because Heaven will surely send down great disasters to eliminate all things that should not appear in the Age of Fa-rectification.

For example, humans who adapt to the Dharma Ending Age..."

Zhao Qi's voice was calm, but the content of his words shocked everyone.

They finally understood why Zhao Qi didn't tell them about this in advance. Taking on such a responsibility was indeed stressful.

Looking at the team members, Zhao Qi continued:

"So we can't let this happen. The only way to solve this problem is to use courtesy first and then force. (End of this chapter)
