"Yes, the temptation of becoming an immortal is too great. Who can resist it? But I'm afraid it will all come to nothing in the end."
"If that's the case, then where is this place of ascension to immortality?" the old blind man asked.
"I don't know. I'm afraid the real answer is still in the Shu tombs, or perhaps there are records in Zhuge Liang's tomb. It all depends on whether we can find them," Xiang Fei replied.
My heart skipped a beat as I recalled the map I had photographed. "Could that be the map to the land of immortality?"
“Let’s take it one step at a time. Our main goal is to unravel this age-old mystery. As for becoming an immortal, let nature take its course,” the old blind man said, and we all nodded in agreement.
“But Xiao Liu, you must become a Yin-Yang Master. I have a feeling that there is an ancient conspiracy hidden here, and perhaps only a Yin-Yang Master can stop it,” the old blind man said again.
Just then, a weak voice came from the corner, "Brother Liu, have you come to see me?"
I turned around and saw that it was Chucky. This was the first time he had ever spoken to me. He looked like a two or three-year-old child, dressed in black clothes and sitting barefoot in the dark.
Because he is a ghost doll, he dislikes light, his face is as white as paper, and his dark eyes emit an eerie light, like a cat's eyes in the dark.
I delivered Chucky myself, so I still have some affection for him. I quickly went over and patted his head. "Checky, are you settling in well here?"
"Yeah, I'm getting used to it. Master Black Cat is very good to me. I just want to go back to see my mom."
"Hehe, good boy, you little devil. We'll go back when you're a bit older. Right now, you should follow Master Black Cat and learn skills properly. Once you're skilled enough, you can go out and make your way in the world."
Action 64 begins
Black Cat and Xiang Fei came over. "The ghost child is already a rare sight, and now that it has shed its evil aura, if it can grow up, it will definitely be a great help to the Yin-Yang Master, comparable to the Ghost King, and able to command all ghosts."
"Master Liu, you have a great opportunity. Perhaps it's time for all of this to come to a conclusion."
I asked the black cat briefly and learned that the ghost doll only needs to go out in the wild to absorb the essence of the moon or go to the graveyard to absorb yin energy. He usually stays in the yin coffin that the black cat prepared for him, which is somewhat similar to a zombie.
"Okay, goodbye Brother Liu, I'm going back now. Come visit me again when you have time," the ghost doll said, and then skipped and hopped away into the darkness.
We ate and drank some wine at the old blind man's house, and the old man started talking nonsense again. He insisted on dragging us up the mountain, saying that he wanted us to point out the best places in the land and find him an auspicious burial site.
"I have no children in my life. When I die, I can be buried anywhere, as long as it is a place with good feng shui. I have no desire to become an immortal. As long as I live this life to the fullest, I don't care about reincarnation."
The old blind man led us up the hill behind his house. It was a very ordinary hill, neither particularly high nor low. We climbed up and looked around, but didn't find anything unusual.
“It’s just an ordinary mountain, old blind man. I think you’re dreaming if you want to be buried here,” Xiang Fei said. “The surrounding mountains are messy, and the entire mountain range has been cut off in several places. Moreover, there is no water nearby. If you’re buried here, you’ll just end up with a bunch of bones.”
I nodded in agreement, "The soil here is dry and loose, making it extremely prone to collapse, and it cannot withstand heavy rain. Burying someone here would result in flooding."
The old blind man shook his head. "Take a closer look. Although this place is messy, there is life within the chaos. It is like a chaotic dragon emerging from the sea."
Hearing what the old blind man said, we were also taken aback. We looked at him again, and after a while, Xiang Fei and I exclaimed at the same time, "Incredible!"
"This is indeed a land of chaotic dragons. Although it is chaotic, it hides a dragon that has broken free of its shackles. Running north to south, the dragon has escaped its confinement here, and beyond the mountain lies a great river. It can be said that the hidden dragon has broken free and finally entered the sea!"
"Hmm, not bad. This dragon came from the north and went south, and its head is right under our feet. Old blind man, you are indeed cunning. You even built your house in the dragon's mouth. You might as well be buried in your house after you die. Maybe you can really ascend to heaven."
"Haha, I just happened to run into you."
“Oh, wait a minute, although this dragon has escaped here, its dragon energy has been exhausted. It will become a dead dragon in less than ten years. What a pity!” Xiang Fei sighed, then muttered to himself, “How could there be a chaotic dragon here? It shouldn’t be like this.”
The dragon's fate was sealed; it was a pity that the dragon had already withered before even entering the sea. At this moment, Xiang Fei walked around and said with a solemn expression, "Something's not right. Why do I feel like this place is a large tomb?"
"The great tomb? It's over there."
“Right beneath our feet, haven’t you noticed the traces of human intervention in this mountain?”
After hearing what he said, I realized that the soil of this mountain was different from that of other mountains. It had obviously been disturbed for a long time, and there were some broken tiles mixed in. It was clear that there had once been a magnificent building here, but it was later destroyed.
I also noticed that on a small hill nearby, there was a grotto that had been carved out. Half of the hill had been carved out, which was obviously used for a huge project. But when I thought about it, there was no huge project around. So where did these stones go?
"Could it be?"
Xiang Fei clearly thought so too, and nodded, "It should be used to build a large tomb."
"So there's very likely a huge tomb right beneath our feet, a tomb of considerable importance. But whose tomb is it?"
"Hmm, several small kingdoms have existed in Sichuan throughout history. Could this be the tomb of one of their emperors?"
