Night without Borders

Chapter 126: The Book That Stumped the Masters of All Generations

Qin Ming also smiled and said, "Qingyue told me about it, but I didn't expect it to happen so soon."

"Who else could it be except her?" Meng Xinghai urged him to go and "test his skills" quickly.

Qin Ming nodded and said, "There are indeed other people, core disciples such as Tang Xumi, Hu Tingwen, and Su Jingshu, who owe me a famous technique."

Those people said that they had found fragments of "Divine Ape Power" in the Scripture Pavilion, a famous Tianguang Power.

I just don't know whether those people will fulfill their promise. Moreover, even if they don't break their promise, they will probably have to send the book to Li Qingyue first.

Meng Xinghai said: "You are quite good, you have gained a lot from this trip."

Qin Ming nodded. He was already satisfied with what he had gained this time.

He did not waste any time and quickly went to meet the person with Meng Xinghai.

The quaint living room is decorated with ancient artifacts such as bronze trees and tripods. Soothing incense is burning slowly in the incense burner, and wisps of smoke are rising like silk threads.

An old man was sitting here sipping tea. He was quite old, and although his hair was white, his complexion was ruddy and he looked energetic.

When Meng Xinghai saw him, he called out, "Uncle Li."

Upon seeing this, Qin Ming consciously lowered his generation and paid his respects to Mr. Li.

The old man's eyes opened and closed like two golden lamps, full of energy and spirit. He stood up, smiled and nodded, saying, "Not bad, good boy. I came here specially this time to thank you, Xiao Qin, for helping Qingyue successfully obtain the near-immortal item."

This person is from a secluded family and should be an elder who is very close to Li Qingyue.

"Actually, I didn't help much. Without me, Qingyue would definitely be the winner in the end." Qin Ming said modestly.

The old man smiled and didn't say anything more about this question. He said, "This time, I brought a special technique with me. It has a long history and is extremely difficult to practice."

He took out three pages of paper and said, "Take a look at it first and think about it slowly. Don't be in a hurry."

Qin Ming was quite curious when he heard him say this. What kind of skill was this? He asked an old man of high seniority to come here in person.

He took it in his hand and could tell it was the latest copy, with the handwriting still smelling faintly of ink.

Li Qingyun said, "This is exactly the same as the original. Even the strokes of each character are copied exactly to avoid any hidden secrets."

Qin Ming was surprised when he heard the old man say this. It seemed that it was really something extraordinary to be treated so seriously.

This is not all. Li Qingyun took out three more copper plates. Each of them corresponded to a vague human figure pattern, outlined with many fine lines.

He told me: "These are three pictures corresponding to the three pages of sutra. They are restored in the same proportions, even the blurriness is the same."

Qin Ming nodded. Seeing the other party's attention to details, his expression became serious.

He held the paper in his hand and studied it carefully, comparing it with the copper plate.

Soon, he frowned. Who wrote this scripture? It was too general. It mentioned the body and the spirit. It was very grand and had a long-term goal.

"Life spans the heaven and earth and has no end..." Qin Ming let out a breath after reading this. He was still practicing Tianguang Jin and had just embarked on a new life, but these three pages were all about talking about immortality.

It should be understood that even the old seniors from the outside world and the top strong men of the esoteric religion cannot be immortal and will all reach the end of their lives one day.

Moreover, their lifespan is not exaggerated.

The most important thing is that Qin Ming felt that the three pages of scriptures were "empty talk"!
Because there is no detailed law at all. The words on the paper are very vague, and with the three vague pictures, you can understand it in any way you want.

If this wasn't Li Qingyue's elder, he would have thought this was a charlatan or a liar.

Li Qingyun said while drinking tea: "Don't put pressure on yourself. There is plenty of time. This scripture has stumped too many people. Even those who have understood it have different insights."

"What have others realized?" Qin Ming asked.

Li Qingyun said: "Very few people can realize something, but those who have achieved something are all famous figures. Some of them have a greatly increased lifespan in their old age, extending their lives by half; some were originally dull, but suddenly became enlightened; some had average talents, but suddenly changed their bones; some had a withered body, but lived a second life with their spirit."

He was quite yearning and lost in thought.

Meng Xinghai added, "The people I just mentioned are all big names, such as the founder of Chunyang Palace, the old master of Yinyang Temple, and the founder of Five Elements Palace."

Qin Ming was shocked when he heard this. The contents of these three pages of paper were more important than he had imagined and actually involved famous people in history.

"Let me take a closer look." His expression became more serious than ever before. He immersed himself in it wholeheartedly, carefully trying to comprehend the mysteries contained therein.

Li Qingyun comforted him, "Don't worry, I'll stay here for half a month, that's plenty of time. As long as your body or mind can feel something special, it means you have a connection with it and you should be able to gain something. This is because all the famous people in history were like this. At first, they just felt something was a little strange. It took years of practice and understanding to finally achieve a 'qualitative change'."

Meng Xinghai explained the origin of this scripture, which was found in the depths of the Night Fog World by accident during the Great Reclamation Period, but only a few people could gain something from it. Even those with profound Taoism might not be able to comprehend it, such as the founder of the Sky-Bearing Power, who had amazing power and a physical strength so strong that he could tear the sky apart. However, he had read this book for three years without any comprehension, and in the end he was so angry that he almost tore the book apart.

If someone hadn't stopped it, the book would probably have been lost even though it was made of special materials.

Qin Ming looked at it for half an hour. He felt heat and some swelling and pain between his eyebrows, so he stopped and took a rest.

Li Qingyun put down the teacup and said, "In a sense, it is a mother scripture. It may not give you specific methods, but it can bring you a lot of inspiration and possibilities."

This sutra is considered to be more suitable for people who take the path of variation, because most of the people who have gained something from understanding it in history are celebrities on this path.

Seeing Qin Ming temporarily put down the three pages of paper, Meng Xinghai also spoke: "In the outside world, there is a powerful old senior, Li Qingxu's master. More than a hundred years ago, he was very arrogant and conceited. He also studied this book for five years, but in the end he got nothing. It is said that the old senior's face was black for more than half a year because of this."

Qin Ming was surprised. This book seemed to be too famous.

Li Qingyun nodded and said, "Well, the original copy of this book is currently in the Pure Land outside the Pure Land. It has been collected and kept by them, but it has been covered in dust in the Scripture Pavilion for many years."

This is frustrating. A book that is useful for the path of mutation has fallen into the hands of outsiders. This is enough to illustrate the current status and gap between the two paths.

Meng Xinghai said: "In this world, according to public records, there are only a few people who have gained something from studying this book."

"It seems to be really difficult. In an era, only a few people have some understanding." Qin Ming studied it again, and he found that his forehead was hot again.

His heart moved. Is this what they call a strange feeling?

Li Qingyun nodded and said, "That's quite a few. Looking back over the past thousand years, how many people can understand this book? To be exact, no one can understand the whole book. They can only comprehend some chapters from it."

Qin Ming had to stop again. He also drank some tea, trying to understand the state a little bit and sense whether there were any abnormal changes in himself.

Meng Xinghai said: "This time, the Li family asked Lu Zhen, the core disciple of Yin Yang Temple, to temporarily serve as a golden armor guard to help Li Qingxu fight for the near-immortal items. In addition to sending a lot of treasures to Yin Yang Temple, the Li family also promised Lu Zhen to help him make arrangements to go to the outside world to read this book."

Although this book fell into a foreign land, it has not been sealed. If you pay a certain price, you can comprehend it.

For example, Cui Chongxuan, who has practiced the Six Imperial Powers, is being actively arranged by the Cui family to allow him to go there to gain insights.

As for Cui Chonghe, the core disciple of Fangwai Di and the undisputed seed-level figure, he had already studied this book. As to whether he had gained anything from it, outsiders did not know.

Qin Ming was an outsider, so the reason he was able to read this sutra this time was naturally due to Li Qingyue's active efforts.

Meng Xinghai was worried that Qin Ming would not be able to comprehend it and felt stressed, so he comforted him, "Studying this scripture depends entirely on fate. After all, the founder of the Sky-Bearing Power was indifferent to it and threw it out of the window with a curse. If it doesn't work, we can go and get another miracle skill."

"Is a master-level figure so down-to-earth?" Qin Ming was surprised.

Meng Xinghai said: "You don't seem to have grasped the point. I'm asking you to relax."

"I'm just relaxing, and my brows feel a little hot."

"Just relax... huh?!"

"What did you say?!"

For a moment, both Meng Xinghai and Li Qingyun put down their teacups, and their eyes gradually became full of bright beams as they stared at him.

Qin Ming said: "I have a preliminary feeling, but it is too weak. Let me think about it further."

Li Qingyun stood up suddenly. How many great men had been stumped by this book? It was known as one of the most difficult ancient scriptures, and one could only understand it by "fate".

In fact, not only the founder of Qingtian Jin, but also the founder of Liuyu Jin, had tried to "figure it out" secretly, but ended up being completely in the dark.

However, the ancestor was more concerned about his reputation and warned those who knew the truth not to leak it, otherwise he would use the Six Imperial Heavenly Light to split the person into 108 pieces.

Li Qingyun had also read three pages of scriptures in his early years, but he did not understand anything. Now he witnessed with his own eyes that a young man might be about to understand something. How could he not be shocked?
This is on par with the rumored celebrities!
Meng Xinghai's mood was up and down. Xiao Qin, whom he had high hopes for, seemed to exceed his expectations every time. Seeing such performance in front of Uncle Li made him feel very proud.

He originally thought that Qin Ming would probably fail this time, but the facts proved that little Qin was still as vigorous as ever, and he was able to extract some essence from one of the most difficult ancient scriptures.

Qin Ming said: "I'm not in a very good state today. It's very difficult to comprehend it. My forehead is always hot and sore. I continue to go deeper and feel like I have grasped something. These three pictures seem to have become clearer and different."

"Even if you are not in good condition, you can still comprehend part of the content of this ancient scripture?" Li Qingyun was suspicious and wanted to ask Meng Xinghai, does this young man usually speak like this?
He felt really unhappy after hearing this. It was useless even after taking a bath, burning incense and meditating. This was really infuriating!

Li Qingyun felt that if Li Qingxu's master knew about this and if those old guys heard Qin Ming's words, they would probably want to jump out and beat him up.

"He is usually very good at comprehending scriptures." Meng Xinghai said with a cough.

"I feel like my body is gradually getting warmer." Qin Ming said, having a brand new experience.

Li Qingyun couldn't sit still anymore. He had two strange feelings in succession. He had never heard of such a behavior before.
