Chapter 044: Has There Ever Been an Immortal?
Strangely enough, the silent mantra her master taught her could actually be used for defense after the apocalypse.
As long as she concentrates and recites the incantation silently, combined with the set of hand gestures taught to her by her master, she can hide anything she wants to hide.
She calls it a mark.
The place that bears her spiritual mark can last as long as she wills.
She used this method to avoid many dangers and saved many people.
She guessed that it was because after the end of the world, the entire Zhongwei Mountains and Seas changed, the air also changed, and the mantras and marks also became extremely different.
Maybe the energy has changed.
Otherwise, how could people with super powers appear?
The master also didn't know the true function of the mark, because it was passed down by the abbot of Xingyun Temple and passed down from generation to generation.
She used to think the hand gesture was very beautiful. Jiuxiao saw that she was interested and thought it was just a hand gesture, so he taught her.
She memorized it and practiced it in her free time.
At the end of the world, she was bored and played with the incantations, but she found that Chen Jiaer and the others could not find her location. Only then did she realize the role of gestures and incantations.
By the time she had finished all this, Chen Jiaer had already boiled the water and put in the frozen dumplings.
The four of them took ten minutes to finish their lunch. Yang Zengyue and Chen Jiaer went back to the room, put on their big backpacks, and took flashlights and other outdoor tools.
Jiuxiao asked Chen Jiaer and Shi Rongchuan to wait outside the hall, and asked Yang Zengyue to follow him into the hall first.
They each lit three incense sticks and knelt in silence for five minutes. Then Jiu Xiao spoke, "According to your previous memory, find the box containing the two knives and take them with you."
"Yes, Master." Yang Zengyue stood up respectfully, walked to the statue, squatted down, and pressed a mechanism.
After a "click", the base of the statue was opened, and Yang Zengyue took out a long box from it.
In her previous life, after returning to her home in Sikun Mountain, she did not find her master, so she immediately went to Xingyun Temple, but still could not find any trace of her master.
Looking at the ruined Xingyun Temple and the statue of Xingyun Patriarch with half of its body destroyed, Yang Zengyue remembered a sentence her master had said to her when she was still very young:
The north of the moving clouds is not the north, it is one foot and three meters forward.
The south of the shrine is not south, it is two feet and nine inches back.
Even when she was completely desperate, she did not forget these two sentences.
Then, as her master had said, she found the knife under the shrine of the statue of Master Xingyun.
Yang Zengyue took out the box again and opened it. Inside were indeed her weapons, the Jiusheng and Yizhao swords.
The Nine Saints were all black, while the One Day was a rare white, and the two swords were either black or white.
Jiuxiao looked at the two swords with an ambiguous look in his eyes: "Zongyue, you will carry these two swords with you from now on. I guess their mission is not yet completed."
"Yes, Master, Zengyue will definitely live up to their name." Yang Zengyue closed the box, wrapped it with cloth and put it into the space.
Jiuxiao looked at the statue of Xingyun Patriarch and said slowly, "Also, after those two sentences, there is actually another sentence. I have never told you before because I don't want you to take on the heavy mission of Xingyun Temple."
He originally thought that the secret of Xingyun Temple would end in his hands, but unexpectedly, it would one day see the light of day again.
Because in his view, it was the ultimate, hopeless fantasy.
There have never been immortals in this world.
Legends are just legends after all.
However, Yang Zengyue's return from the apocalypse is a miracle in itself.
Human physical fitness can actually transform without anyone noticing, which means that if there is an opportunity, a breakthrough is not a problem.
That's why Jiuxiao decided to say this sentence again. He believed that this might be the answer that Yang Zengyue needed to find in his new life.
"The following sentence is: The great Dao of cultivating immortals has already detached itself from the mundane world. Only by breaking the confinement of this place can there be a glimmer of hope."
Yang Zengyue didn't quite understand why Master Xingyun left such a message.
In this world, there are people who practice cultivation, but there are no people who practice immortality.
There is only a small difference between cultivation and cultivating immortality, but the gap between them is huge.
"Master, there are no immortals in this world. Even when my abilities reached their peak later on, I was only faster, had a shorter recovery time, and was stronger. Others were about the same." Yang Zengyue spoke very seriously, but his tone was a little uncertain.
Because in the last days many people have supernatural powers.
Also, what the Yan family had gone to great lengths to obtain was indeed something from Xingyun Temple.
She once saw a corner with the emblem of Xingyun Temple on it.
Also, some people think that the mark she made might be a way to cultivate immortality?
Jiu Xiao was no longer sure, so he said, "It's very likely that the confinement of this world was broken at the end of the world. What remains should be a method, a method of cultivating immortality."
Jiuxiao was very sure that this method was in the underground palace.
Otherwise, why would those families have been so persistent in pursuing the answer?
He took a key from his waist and handed it to Yang Zengyue, "Pry open the bottom of the box."
After Yang Zengyue fumbled around for a while, he indeed saw a depression that was the same shape as the key.
Yang Zengyue stepped forward and put the key in, but there was no response.
Jiuxiao took out another key and asked Yang Zengyue to put the key in according to the direction he said.
After Yang Zengyue put away all the keys, a total of eighteen, a "clicking" sound was heard, as if a door was opened.
Sure enough, behind the statue of Master Xingyun, a hole appeared next to the shrine where the fortune sticks were placed.
After appearing at the cave entrance, Jiuxiao called Shi Rongchuan and Chen Jiaer in.
When Chen Jiaer came in, he closed the door of the hall and tied it from the inside with wood.
Unless the entire door is removed, people outside cannot get in for the time being.
Yang Zengyue walked over and added another mark. Jiuxiao was a little surprised when he saw it.
I don't understand what she is doing.
He was familiar with the gesture, but he didn't know what it meant.
But he didn't ask.
It’s not too late to ask once we get into the underground palace.
When Shi Rongchuan saw Yang Zengyue's gesture, he felt nothing except that it was very graceful and beautiful. He even thought it was unnecessary.
But Chen Jiaer knew what Yang Zengyue was doing.
In the apocalypse, thanks to the energy she expended, their team was able to escape disaster after disaster and survive until the seventh year of the apocalypse.
After doing all this, Yang Zengyue put on the headlamp for outdoor exploration, pressed the switch, and asked Jiuxiao to follow her, intending to enter the cave.
At the entrance of the cave, Yang Zengyue looked around cautiously and sniffed the smell inside. She could feel the air flowing and there were no extra impurities in the smell. She shone the flashlight up and down and left and right again. Only when she found no problems did she take a step forward.
"Master, be careful." Yang Zengyue hung the anti-lost rope on the buckle around Jiuxiao's waist.
"Well, don't worry, it's very safe in there. I've been down there once before." Jiuxiao was not too worried about this issue.
