The top of the mountain was mottled with light and shadow, the nearby maple trees were bright red, the woods in the distance cast large shadows, and occasionally night birds were startled and cried in the darkness.
Many people got drunk that night and spoke their minds. Some were passionate and ambitious, saying that this was a great era and that we should seize the opportunity to become extraordinary people, and even had ambitions to become gods.
"Light the sacred fire, step onto the high altar..." Even a girl who is usually quite quiet is no longer so reserved.
Another boy said loudly, "What are immortals? I think they are extraordinary beings. The myths of the past may not be false. Bodhisattvas, the Three Pure Ones, immortals and Buddhas, and monsters may not be impossible to appear. Of course, I am saying that people of this level can still appear, not that the Bodhisattvas, monsters, and other extraordinary beings of the old times are still alive. After all, time is ruthless, and those who should be wiped out have been wiped out. The Three Pure Ones, immortals and Buddhas are still human beings, and it is impossible for them to live to this day. Back then, they were just flesh and blood people when they were alive. Although they were very strong, according to the records of the pagodas, Taoist temples, relics, etc., as well as the various unearthed documents, they were far less powerful than we imagined, and there is no need to over-deify them. Several life research institutes have joined forces to analyze their remains. The strongest individual among the extraordinary creatures could not withstand modern scientific and technological weapons, and a nuclear bomb would still destroy them all."
The person who said this was a male classmate from Xinxing. He was obviously drunk and said some shocking news, which were secrets that the old classmates had never heard before.
The tycoons of Xinxing have dug up some amazing things in the old soil, and even found Buddha bones?!
The classmate added: "It's nothing strange, and there's no need to be amazed. For example, in some religions, there are underground palaces under pagodas, which contain stone caskets, iron caskets, jade caskets, gold caskets, etc., which contain Buddha bones and relics. These have been discovered in various places in the old land. In addition, there were unexpected gains in the Taoist ancestral temple, and I explored it many times later. Those relics and the underground stone carvings tell a lot of past events. Coupled with the analysis of those relics by several of the most prestigious life research institutes, they naturally came to corresponding scientific and accurate conclusions. Bodhisattvas, immortals, the Three Pure Ones, etc. should all be flesh and blood people..."
Wang Xuan asked Zhou Kun beside him whether these words were reliable.
"It's not very reliable. The bones, hair and various relics dug out from the underground palace can't say anything definite." Zhou Kun whispered.
What was rare was that he was not drunk yet. He continued, "Those who discovered that there were some discrepancies between the legends of the immortals were considered to be powerful people who were similar to alchemists."
Wang Xuan asked, "So, the research from Nova has definite evidence that even the most powerful alchemists in the pre-Qin era could be killed by technological weapons?"
"That's true. Some research institutions were fortunate enough to obtain the remains of several alchemists. After testing, they were indeed flesh and blood people. Many technological weapons can kill them."
Wang Xuan sighed, which was rare for him. This kind of emotion was very rare.
For those who study the old techniques and want to continue along this path, even if they are determined, they will feel disappointed to hear such a conclusion.
The most powerful alchemists in the pre-Qin period had already reached the limit of the old techniques, and they could only go that far. However, with the rise of scientific and technological civilization, it was easy to strangle the small group of the most powerful individuals among ancient humans.
In this era, the brilliant science and technology have killed the former brilliance of the old arts. A neutron bomb will kill you all, no matter you are a legend or a powerful alchemist standing at the top of the pyramid.
"Where are the immortals?" Wang Xuan asked.
Zhou Kun said: "After in-depth research, some people believe that Liexian is the most advanced alchemist, or someone who is stronger than the alchemists of the pre-Qin period. They have been deified by word of mouth, but they are still human after all, and they cannot escape death in the face of technological weapons."
Wang Xuan sighed for the second time.
Living in this era, for those who devote themselves to old arts, there seems to be no way out, the prospects are bleak, and the end can be seen at a glance.
"You don't want to go to the end of this road and become someone like the alchemists of the pre-Qin period, do you?" Zhou Kun looked at him in amazement, then shook his head and said, "If you take this road now, you can see the end directly. The ending has already been determined. Some consortiums and organizations invested in old techniques in the past, not for the pursuit of its offensive power, but for the purpose of prolonging life. In terms of lethality, it is far behind modern technology."
He added: "Now there is the option of new arts, which involve supernatural powers, and the old arts have even been replaced by such things as prolonging life."
Zhou Kun lowered his voice and said: "The new technique has great potential. It may not be impossible to be deified in the future. Some research institutions are already preparing for research in this area."
"When I master the new technique, if there is a chance, I will ask someone to send you some information to see if you can embark on this path."
After saying this, he deliberately emphasized that he was drunk and didn't know what he said.
But he still didn't stop and continued talking to himself.
"Finding new techniques is just a side benefit. What is truly valuable is the discovery at the end of deep space. If I tell you that someone wants to take risks based on a strong technological civilization, would you believe it? Although I don't really believe it, there are rumors coming out from time to time."
After saying this, he said he felt dizzy and wanted to sit in the room for a while.
A long time after Zhou Kun left, Wang Xuan was still silent, thinking about the old way.
"Can I see the end at a glance? The prospect is bleak. But I still want to go on and take a look at the end. I want to continue exploring there." Wang Xuan said to himself.
Qin Cheng came closer and said, "Old Zhou is quite a nice guy. He vaguely told us a lot of information."
Wang Xuan nodded.
Not long after, he and Qin Cheng said goodbye to everyone and left.
