Qin Di walked up the stairs and arrived at the second floor of the Tower of Babel. He found two stone tablets on the side of the central staircase. Two golden characters were engraved on them. They were clearly immortal characters "needle" and "nail".
Looking around, there were many sharp protrusions on the ground. They looked like immortal needles and divine nails. They shone with a dazzling cold light and looked very sharp.
Qin Di had learned these two characters from his master. He knew that a long time ago, before humans knew how to use metal, there were already needles. At that time, the needles were bamboo needles, so it was written as "Zhen".
Later, humans knew how to make metal tools, and the word "needle" became "needle".
Then, why was the word "salty" next to the word "Jin"?
It was said that it was because the needle felt bitter when it pierced the flesh, so it was written as such.
The word "needle" was full of history and culture. There were many immortal characters and myths that contained needles.
For example, there were a few lines of poems written in immortal characters behind the stone tablets:
"Mother Yun rests her needles by the window. She lowers her eyebrows and meditates on the zither."
"The night rain turns the sky blue, and the golden needles and threads are hard to match."
"The moon is small, and the needles are dark; the clouds are clear."
"You wander by the Jade Pool, and pick up the flower needle …"
Qin Di looked at these lines of words and unconsciously fell into deep thought.
After a long time, he began to ponder the word "nail" again. He knew that this word also contained rich Great Laws of Heaven.
Be it in the Spiritual Realm or the Celestial Realm, many cultivators used "nails" as celestial artifacts.
There was a poem about traveling immortals that said, "Learning Dao is as unchanging as before. Thousands of devils can't cure the hypocrisy. You need to knock out the void essence and pull out the Vajra nail."
There was another poem that said, "The plum blossom's face is colder than ice. She laughs at the grass pavilion on the mountain. After a night of cold snow, she rebuilds the green glazed tiles and crystal nails."
There were many similar nail-shaped celestial artifacts, including the Rainbow Nail, Mourning Door Nail, Vajra Nail, Crystal Nail, Longevity Nail, and so on. Among them, there was no lack of sixth or seventh grade celestial artifacts.
If they could be made into high-level celestial artifacts, it meant that the immortal character "nail" was rich and could bear a large number of Great Laws of Heaven. Otherwise, they wouldn't have spent so much effort on it.
Qin Di put on the Heavenly Soul Glasses again and carefully observed the beams of light in the sky, carefully trying to figure out the profound meaning contained in the celestial text.
He continued to meditate and comprehend the Dao, sitting there for several months in one go.
Celestial Immortals constantly came and went around him.
Some of them sat down and did not move, while others only sat for a short while before leaving.
The path of cultivation was different. Everyone had their own fate.
Fortunately, Tong Tian Pagoda was a place for people to comprehend the Dao. Killing was not allowed in the pagoda.
Otherwise, with hundreds of Heaven Immortals gathered in an area with a circumference of ten miles, it would be strange if they did not engage in a fierce battle.
Four months later, Qin Di walked out of the Tower of Babel and returned to the Xianwen Sect.
This time, he went straight to Zhong Xianshu and told him about the Immortal Characters he had comprehended. At the same time, he asked him some questions.
"Master, although I've comprehended the words' needle 'and' nail ', and I've combined them into a heavenly rule, I've seen a few sentences on the stone tablet, and I don't know how to understand them. Can you help me decipher them? "
Zhong Xianshu carefully put down a tortoiseshell engraved with the Immortal Characters, then asked, "What are they? Tell me. "
Qin Di said slowly, "'Mother Yun rests her needle by the window, and meditates on the zither with her head lowered. The night rain dyed the sky blue, and the golden needles and threads are hard to match. The moon is small, and the needles are dark, and the clouds are clear. You wander by the Jade Lake, and pick up a needle. '"
Zhong Xianshu pondered for a moment and said, "Mother Yun is the Queen Mother. She is a female immortal, and her real name is' Yang Hui '. "
Qin Di was shocked. "Yang Hui? The legendary Queen Mother of the West? Why is she mentioned on the stone tablet? "
Zhong Xianshu said, "The female immortal, Yang Hui, was a high-level Sengoku, and her strength was not below that of an ordinary Immortal Emperor. However, she was kind and busy helping other female immortals, and did not spend time to prove her dao and become a god. After who knows how many years, she cultivated a golden needle in her hand to the peak of a ninth-grade immortal artifact, and wanted to use it to prove her dao and become an Immortal Emperor. Who knew that something happened, and she did not succeed, and instead disappeared. "
"Master, I've vaguely heard of this. But why would her name appear on the stone tablet? "
"Yang Hui and the Immortal King Ginseng are from the same generation. Her power is much higher than the Immortal King Ginseng's. In the past, she once came to the White Tiger Seven Stars and brought great help to the Immortal Sect. That's why the Immortal King Ginseng carved her peerless beauty on the stone tablet and left behind a few words of praise."
After pausing for a while, Qin Di asked: "Master, did female immortal Yang return to the bottom and die?"
Zhong Xianshu frowned slightly. "This is an unsolved case, and there is still no conclusion. The Lingxiao Hall spread the news that the Queen Mother is in seclusion. But she has not shown herself for a long time. "
Qin Di suddenly said, "Master, I saw Xu Feiqiong a few thousand years ago."
Zhong Xianshu was a little shocked. "Where did you see her? As the Queen Mother's servant, she should know where you are. "
Qin Di smiled bitterly. "Back then, I was still a low-level spirit immortal, and I sneaked into the Queen Mother's side palace in the Desolate World. I saw Xu Feiqiong from afar. Back then, my cultivation was weak, and I did not even have time to hide, so how would I dare to say a word to her? "
Zhong Xianshu said, "The Queen Mother's real immortal palace is at the Ziwei Enclosure. There is a planet that she refined independently there, and it is actually her grotto-heaven world. She opened up a huge immortal peach garden there, and many female immortals were raised there. But in the past million years, the entire planet has been sealed, and those female immortals have disappeared. So, very few people know what happened. "
Qin Di asked, "Master, are there many cases of top Sengoku suddenly disappearing in the Celestial World?"
Zhong Xianshu looked at him and said, "There are so many great immortals in the Celestial World, and such things happen all the time. Look up at the sky, there are so many bright stars, and more than half of them are refined by people above Jin Xian. These people manifest the grotto-heaven that they have cultivated for many years, and it becomes the stars that hang in the sky. And after a few years, Jin Xian dies, and the stars are still shining. He has already gone with the Yellow Crane, and there are only stars left. The Yellow Crane never returns, and the white clouds float in the sky for ten thousand years. "
Qin Di sighed, "It is such a pity to work for others!"
Zhong Xianshu gazed far into the sky and said, "Look at the stars in the sky, some of them are silver, they are left behind by the cultivators of metal element; some are green, they are left behind by the cultivators of wood element; some are red like a ball of flame, they are the crystallization of the cultivators of fire element; some are dim, they are faintly blue, they are the homes of the cultivators of water element; some are pale yellow, they are left behind by the cultivators of earth element. These stars that can be seen by people are called 'Manifest Stars'. Other than Manifest Stars, there are also cultivators who use concealment formations to wrap up their stars, making it impossible for outsiders to see them. These stars are called 'Hidden Stars'. "
"The owners of Manifest Stars often open their grotto-heavens. Even after they die, the stars they leave behind are still open, like palaces with open doors, and other cultivators can come and go as they please. However, after some Jin Xian dies, they don't leave behind Manifest Stars, but Hidden Stars that are sealed off. These stars that have lost their owners are like immortal graveyards. That's why people in the immortal world hire immortal formation masters to try to break these sealed Hidden Stars, just like digging up graves in the mortal world. That's why immortal formation masters like you are so precious! "
Qin Di couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Immortal formation masters can only dig up graves, that's too outrageous!"
Zhong Xianshu warned, "If you don't want to do this, don't expose yourself as an immortal formation master. Otherwise, people might kidnap you and force you to do it because of your low cultivation! Once you break through Hidden Stars, they will kill you to silence you! So you must be careful! "
