Volume 3: New Dynasty Ginseng Fruit Chapter 3: Meteorite Soul-Suppressing Nail
Under the guidance of Liu Xiu, Wang Liang began to wander around in this abandoned city.
Perhaps he thought he could completely seal off the abandoned city of Kunyang, so the seal against Liu Xiu was directly placed out in the open.
After three hundred years of ups and downs, the walls collapsed and the city was in ruins, but Wang Liang still successfully found the meteorite nail that Liu Xiu mentioned.
Wang Liang felt that he had found the reason why he had nothing in common with these ancient people: their concepts were different.
Wang Liang could never have imagined that Liu Xiu would call this thing a nail.
This is clearly a pure iron statue that is almost as tall as Wang Liang.
These figures are very similar to the situation in which Wang Liang was buried before, with their bodies buried underground with only their heads exposed.
The expressions of the portraits are quite subtle. A mere portrait is given seven completely different expressions. Different styles can be seen from different angles.
After digging out the iron statues, you can see that the clothes on these statues are all well processed and all the details are cast quite well, making them look like the Weng Zhong in front of the emperor's tomb.
Looking more closely at the technique used in painting this portrait, Wang Liang felt more and more familiar with it, as if it carried some style from the Spring and Autumn Period.
"Is this... a golden man?"
"Hey, you actually figured it out." As Wang Liang dug out several human figures, Liu Xiu's range of movement became larger and larger. He could even stir up a gust of cold wind to block some of the sunlight and allow him to appear on the ground.
"It can be seen that this is the way the King of Qin collected the world's soldiers and cast twelve golden men. However, the King of Qin did not come up with the idea of casting golden men on his own. Some of the things here also have a heritage source. There are actually records in the Zhou Library. You can see it at a glance if you trace the origin.
At first glance, this golden man is similar in style to the pre-Qin period, and has not changed much. I think it was made from twelve golden men that were left behind as samples.”
After hearing Wang Liang's explanation, Liu Xiu became curious, "How do you know so much?"
"I...how do I know?" Liu Xiu's question made Wang Liang fall into deep thought. Finally, he said slowly and affirmatively: "I saw it with my own eyes."
As soon as he said this, purple energy surged from Wang Liang's body. He then slapped a statue with his palm. The statue's face, which had been full of emotions, slowly changed into an expressionless and rigid face.
"That's right. See? I said that everything can be traced back to its origin. No matter how much it changes, it can't go away. As long as you know the most fundamental things, that's all."
As Wang Liang spoke, he kept hitting the statue with his hands.
Every time he hit, some of the purple energy in his body would be injected into the portrait.
At this time, Wang Liang only felt that his thoughts were like the tide. Some things that he did not understand when practicing "Taixuan Jing", "Xiantian Qiankun Gong" and "Yijing" were answered one by one.
At the same time, some things that were only hidden in his memory were also turned out. It was a huge library, which was full of purple bamboo slips. There were often less than ten words on each bamboo slip, but different meanings could be understood from the combination of these words.
As Wang Liang's movements became faster and faster, the size of the statue became smaller and smaller. Finally, the iron statue, which was almost as tall as Wang Liang, turned into an iron statue ornament that Wang Liang could hold in one hand.
Reaching out and grabbing the statuette in his hand, Wang Liang showed a slight smile on his face.
[Meteorite Soul-Suppressing Nail (Ancient Weng Zhong)]
[Quality: White (9-piece combination upgrades to green, 27-piece combination upgrades to blue, 54-piece combination upgrades to purple, 81-piece combination upgrades to red)]
[Description: Made of meteorite iron that fell from the sky and suppressed the fortune of the Han Dynasty for three hundred years, it was taken out and recast using ancient witchcraft techniques. It has three special effects and can be used to set up formations or to refine magic weapons.]
[Special Effect 1: Destroy Luck, a special effect brought about by a flying rock smashing the child of destiny to death, which can ignore the influence of the enemy's luck and accurately lock onto the enemy, so that the enemy cannot dodge through means such as luck.]
[Special Effect 2: Suppression, a special effect brought about by suppressing the luck of the Han Dynasty for three hundred years. After the formation is set up, those who enter the formation will be affected by the loss of luck and can only exert half of their original luck.]
[Special Effect 3: Guardian, a special effect brought about by the activation of ancient witchcraft. After returning to human form, the Meteorite Soul-Suppressing Nail has the effect of automatically protecting the owner of the magic weapon.]
Looking at this series of explanations, Wang Liang said calmly, "Now that you have seen my methods, can you tell me what the forbidden spirit formation you mentioned is all about?"
At this time Liu Xiu also walked out from the shadows.
When he was suppressed, although Liu Xiu did not become emperor or even king, the fortune of the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years was concentrated on him, so he had already changed his clothes.
He was wearing a black crown with red dragon and phoenix patterns. If you look closely, you can see that there are seven kinds of emblems on his body, including the sun, moon, stars, dragon, phoenix, white rice and water plants, which do not match the style of the crown in front of you.
Liu Xiu, whose skin was already somewhat dry, lowered his head as he looked at Wang Liang. "You can see that I have not yet been crowned emperor, so even if I wear the imperial crown, I cannot have twelve emblems. To have seven is already a blessing from the Han Dynasty."
After saying this, Liu Xiu bowed to Wang Liang again and said, "I haven't thanked you in person for saving my life yet."
"There's nothing to thank me for. If you have something to say, just tell me. What do you mean ?"
Liu Xiu looked at Wang Liang helplessly, wondering why this man looked so rude. However, Wang Liang had a stronger aura and was shrouded in a layer of purple air. He also knew more about the Meteorite Soul-Suppressing Nail than he did. From this point, it can be seen that Wang Liang should be more polite than him. Could it be that he learned it incorrectly?
Thinking of this, Liu Xiu lowered his head, "Xiu didn't learn much since childhood, and many things were studied by myself, Xiu..."
"Stop talking about so much useless stuff and get down to business."
As Wang Liang spoke, he dealt with the other statues that had been dug out earlier.
Looking at Wang Liang's actions, Liu Xiu could only talk about his own affairs.
“I actually don’t know anything. I figured out a lot of things little by little during the three hundred years I was sealed. I’m not sure what the formation Wang Mang used to suppress me is called, but I feel that with this formation, I will never be able to get out. I can’t even sense anything outside the formation. I can only stay in darkness, so I call this formation the Forbidden Spirit Formation.
But I can sense the arrangement of this formation and the flow of power through the Han Dynasty Qi. Don't ask me how I know. I have been trying to get out for years, always risking my life to get out . I know where I hit a wall and where I can't go. "
