Chapter 64 Map
"Are you dreaming?"
Lin Changqiang was a little amused, and Xiao Diao looked at Lin Dong as if he were a fool. He sneered and said, “Once the top divine object in the world, such as the Ancestral Talisman, appears in the world, let alone two, even if only one is discovered, the entire Great Yan Dynasty will be turned upside down.”
Lin Dong couldn’t help but feel a little embarrassed about this, but soon he became curious: “How many ancestral talismans are there in total?”
"There are eight ancestral symbols between heaven and earth. As for these two patterns? They are just rubbings of the ancestral symbols." Xiao Diao shook his head and said with a sigh in his tone, "I once met a strong man who possessed an ancestral symbol. His strength was so abnormal that even I in my prime was far from being his opponent."
Lin Dong didn’t know how strong Xiao Diao was in his prime, but he thought that he was at least above the third level of Creation and reached the Nirvana level. However, if even this level of strength was terrifying, how exaggerated would the strength of the owner of the Ancestral Talisman be?
“Xiao Diao, you should have noticed that the natal talismans in Lin Dong’s and my Niwan Palace seem to be somewhat similar to the ancestral talisman on the left.” Seeing that the two of them had not yet gotten to the point, Lin Changqiang could not help but remind them tentatively.
“You little brat, you have no respect for your elders! I’m hundreds of years old, you have to call me Master Diao!” Upon hearing Lin Changqiang’s address, Little Diao was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, and his palm-sized body kept jumping on Lin Dong’s shoulder.
"Okay little mink, no problem little mink~"
"you!"
Xiao Diao glared at Lin Changqiang angrily, then turned to look at Lin Dong. Seeing that the latter was still watching the show happily and had no intention of speaking for him, he felt deflated. After all, he really had no way to deal with the two of them now.
"Your natal talisman does have some relationship with this ancestral talisman, but it is just a replica. At most, it is a better imitation and has some of the effects of the ancestral talisman."
"I see. That's a shame. As for the spear, we should leave now."
Lin Dong waved his hand and was about to turn around and leave, but at this moment, Lin Changqiang suddenly stretched out his arm and stopped him.
“Wait a minute.” He blinked and said what he had prepared for a long time, “Lin Dong, do you think that the person who made the ancient vortex seal and the person who left the pattern in the Talisman Master Tower are the same person?”
“Eh? That makes sense. After all, it’s in almost the same place.” Lin Dong was still thinking, but Xiao Diao’s eyes suddenly lit up, and he frowned and observed the pattern on the left.
"Each of you summon a natal talisman and stick it on the rune and try."
Hearing this, Lin Dong hesitated. After all, his natal talisman was a big deal. If he lost one, he would need to practice for a long time to get it back.
He turned around and wanted to ask Lin Changqiang's opinion, but then he found that the other party had already pasted a piece of his life talisman against the wall, and was now looking at him innocently with his big black eyes.
"???"
“…Alas.” Finally, Lin Dong sighed and, as Xiao Diao said, summoned out a natal talisman from the Niwan Palace. Seeing this, Lin Changqiang also smiled.
The natal talismans of the two people emitted a dazzling light in the air, and then under their control, they stuck to the ancestral talisman pattern on the left wall.
"Buzz!"
Under the gaze of the two men and the marten, the two talismans finally slowly stuck to the wall, but at this moment, they suddenly trembled, breaking away from the control of Lin Changqiang and Lin Dong, and twisting in Lin Dong's horrified eyes, and finally turned into two palm-sized whirlpools. "Calm down, it's just a life talisman. Even if it's gone, you can cultivate it back, and your cultivation won't drop. If you can really get some information related to the ancestral talisman, it will be more than a hundred talismans can compare to it."
“Don’t cheat us.” Lin Dong heaved a sigh of relief after hearing that his cultivation level would not regress, but he was still a little worried.
“Tsk, if you two hadn’t helped me last time, Master Diao wouldn’t have bothered with you. If you two could find an ancient artifact like the Ancestral Talisman, you would almost certainly become famous and powerful people in the world!” Little Diao curled his lips and folded his little arms across his chest. When he talked about the last incident at the Danxian Pond, he secretly glanced at Lin Changqiang.
At the same time, subtle mental powers gradually emanated from the two whirlpools, like infinite rays of light, hitting the pattern on the left.
Along with the contact of spiritual power, the patterns on the wall gradually emitted a faint light and shot out rays of light. These rays of light gathered in the air in front of the wall, and finally, they miraculously formed two complex pictures.
"Is this... a map of the Great Yan Dynasty?"
Lin Dong stared at the picture in front of him with his mouth wide open. After observing it for a while, he finally remembered that a small part of this picture was exactly the same as the map of the Great Yan Dynasty! The only difference from ordinary maps was that this map made of light had two very conspicuous red dots marked on it.
"This, could it be that these two red dots correspond to two ancestral symbols?" Xiao Diao also took a deep breath and smacked his lips, "You two really have accumulated great virtues from your ancestors."
"There is another one outside the Great Yan Dynasty. Xiao Diao, do you know where it is?" Lin Changqiang pointed at another red dot and looked at Xiao Diao.
Xiao Diao curled his lips helplessly. He had given up correcting Lin Changqiang's way of addressing him. As long as he didn't call him a rat like he did at the beginning, it would be fine.
"It should be the Chaos Demon Sea. It's too early for you guys right now. You should find the Great Yan Dynasty first."
At this moment, the two spiritual maps suddenly turned into two balls of white light and drilled into the talisman whirlpools of the two people respectively. Afterwards, the two whirlpools kept changing and turned back into two talismans, returning to the Niwan Palace of the two people.
"In such a small Yan Dynasty, someone actually knows the location of two ancestral talismans. This is simply outrageous." Little Marten finally came back to his senses. It was not difficult to see that he was also quite shocked. "There are only eight ancestral talismans in the world, but in this tattered Talisman Master Tower, there are actually locations for two of them!"
"What's the big deal? There are only four fragments of the map of the Pure Lotus Demon Fire next door in the entire continent, but there are two in this corner of the Jia Ma Empire." Lin Changqiang looked at the stunned Xiao Diao and secretly complained in his heart, "This map must have been left by Li Hu."
“Now that the matter here is over, we should go down too. It’s not good to be locked up in here.” Lin Dong quickly calmed down. After all, he was not even a talisman master now, so no matter how powerful the ancestral talisman was, he had no idea what it meant.
"Well, let's go."
"Then I will go back to Shifu too."
Lin Changqiang nodded. Seeing this, Xiao Diao also waved his claws at the two of them. Then, his figure slowly dissipated and turned into a ray of black light, and drilled into the stone talisman in Lin Dong’s palm.
Seeing that Xiao Diao actually said goodbye to the two of them, Lin Changqiang and Lin Dong couldn't help but smile at each other, then walked straight down the stairs.
The Chinese New Year is coming soon, so I have been doing spring cleaning these past two days, so I have been a little slow. Sorry everyone, I will start working hard tomorrow!
