Chapter 195 White Lotus Contemplation, the Protagonist of the Times
There is no suspense.
The White Lotus leader had no chance to struggle under that painful palm strike that pierced his head.
Until his death, the White Lotus Sect Leader would never understand why Gu Dan could crush him both physically and mentally, and even cross the sky with his physical body and fly in the air.
This leader of the White Lotus sect, who had led the sect to cause trouble for decades and had passed down the sect through generations, finally succumbed to his own ambition.
Killing a master in such a way would be considered an impressive achievement anywhere in the world, enough to be mentioned over and over again for decades as a rare topic of conversation.
There was no sign of joy on Gu Dan's face.
He just stood there silently, paused, and searched for his spoils.
He found a visualization chart.
The material of the visualization picture looks like silk, but it is slightly different. It feels cool to the touch. The cool touch can even be transmitted to the mind through the contact of the skin, making people calm down and relax their minds unconsciously.
There is no doubt that the material of this visualization map is in no way inferior to the Liuyun Zhuiyue Silk used exclusively by the Dayue royal family, and it is even better. Even if you don't visualize it, it can help people. It is truly a rare treasure. No wonder the White Lotus Sect Leader carries it with him.
When you open this visualization picture, the thirty-six-petal lotus will come into your sight. It is so supreme, so precious, so gorgeous and so beautiful, as if it contains all the power in the world. You can't help but want to immerse yourself in it and throw yourself into it.
Looking at it, the consciousness seems to be constantly emptying, the space is stretched, the scale of time becomes slow, and the mind is slowly gathered together. It is indeed quite magical.
Without being immersed in this feeling for too long, Gu Dan just glanced at it briefly and put the White Lotus Visualization Diagram away. Now was not the time to think about these things, so he put it aside for the time being.
Without hesitation, he rushed towards the Wanshou Mountain Imperial Mausoleum.
The imperial mausoleum is very large.
The place where the previous emperors of Dayue were buried was naturally not without any defenses except for the garrison.
But these preventive measures are fine for dealing with ordinary thieves, but they are too presumptuous when facing a master.
The burial place of Emperor Zong Ming is easy to identify, so there is no need to spend too much energy looking for it.
Qingpingzi rushed to the front first. As the most trusted alchemist of Emperor Zongming during his lifetime, he actually participated in the construction of the imperial mausoleum of Emperor Zongming.
After all, Emperor Zong Ming wanted not only bliss during his lifetime, but also the utmost honor after his death.
Qingpingzi knows the design of this imperial mausoleum!
Therefore, there was no need for any guidance at all. Qingpingzi could determine where Emperor Zongming was buried with just a glance.
Now he just hoped that Emperor Kang Jing would behave like a decent man and bury Emperor Zong Ming in accordance with the standards for an emperor.
It’s not that he had any feelings for Emperor Zong Ming, he was simply afraid that the immortal coffin was not there.
Wouldn’t Gu Dan go crazy after making such a wasted trip?
He didn't want to have a conflict with Gu Dan.
Therefore, his eagerness seemed to be much greater than that of Gong Shangguo. Along the way, he killed anyone he met and broke down walls he encountered. He rushed forward recklessly, heading straight for his goal.
At such a speed, it didn't take too long before the main tomb chamber came into sight.
Without having time to appreciate how reverent and extraordinary this emperor's burial place was, Qingpingzi looked fixedly towards the center.
It was an altar, engraved with countless patterns. Birds, beasts, insects, fish, flowers, plants, trees and all living spirits lived on it, as if they were worshipping together.
The things placed on the altar were not anything of extraordinary craftsmanship. It was just an ordinary-looking coffin, lying obediently in the center of the tomb. There was nothing strange about it.
The moment he saw the coffin, Qingpingzi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The immortal coffin is still there!
"This is the tomb of Emperor Zong Ming. Fortunately, nothing else has happened."
Qingpingzi walked up to the altar. Although the flowers, birds, insects and fish carved on the altar looked lifelike, they were actually just ordinary patterns. No matter how exquisitely crafted they were, they did not possess any power.
On the contrary, the seemingly ordinary coffin is actually a genuine immortal item!
"Is this the immortal coffin you were talking about?"
Before Qingpingzi could push the coffin lid, a figure walked in. It was Gu Dan.
"You're back?"
Qing Pingzi looked around and asked in some doubt: "The White Lotus Sect Leader?"
"Dead."
Gu Dan spoke calmly and walked up to the altar.
"Hiss~"
Hearing Gu Dan's calm voice, Qingpingzi's heart was stirred up and he couldn't help but take a breath.
He had just found the tomb of Emperor Zong Ming, but the leader of the White Lotus Sect was gone?
He was a master! And looking at Gu Dan's calm and composed appearance, without even a trace of injury, he must have been simply crushed!
But the limit of this world should be the martial arts master. Where does Gu Dan's inexplicable fighting power come from?
Thinking carefully and seriously, Qingpingzi had an idea when he recalled the method that Gu Dan had used to cure Gong Shangguo.
If you can heal the flesh and blood, can you heal the five internal organs?! In this way, the five internal organs will be complete, the flesh will be intact, and the true qi will be generated, and you can become a great master!
Even if one does not challenge the rules of heaven and earth and try to cross that gap, in this era when masters have already reached the pinnacle, going one step beyond this is enough to look down on the heroes and be almost the same as an immortal!
Even among the immortals, it cannot be considered the bottom.
The immortal has not returned, and there is no rival in this world!
Thinking back to the first time he met Gu Dan, he was still lying on the sickbed, extremely weak. In the blink of an eye, more than 20 years have passed, and he has been promoted to Grandmaster at an unprecedented speed! Qingpingzi couldn't help but have some doubts, could it be that the immortal is about to return, and the world is going to push out another era protagonist to disrupt the situation?
He once thought that person would be Mo Qiu. After all, such a natural saint is rare in a hundred years.
If he knew the secret of the way to immortality, he would be extremely angry and heartbroken. It would be reasonable for him to want to recreate the way to immortality and directly become the person who drives the trend.
But Mo Qiu still fell, and it was Gu Dan who began to show his edge. Even because of Mo Qiu's change, the other party directly underwent new changes.
His previous attitude of wanting to avoid everything finally disappeared, and was replaced by a determined grandmaster, a grandmaster before the immortal returned!
For a moment, Qingpingzi thought of a lot of things, and even deduced a lot of clues. The look he gave Gu Dan changed a little.
Judging from the look in his eyes, he is someone you can't afford to offend.
Gu Dan didn't have so many messy thoughts. He walked straight to the immortal coffin, pushed open the coffin lid, revealing the flesh and blood inside.
It's really just a lump of flesh and blood.
Even if a skilled craftsman tried hard to restore the mass of flesh and blood into a human form, only a slightly hideous outline could be seen.
After Emperor Zong Ming died, Mo Qiu threw him out fiercely and smashed him to the ground.
What we saw at this time was not beyond our expectations.
What really surprised Gu Dan was that the mass of flesh and blood in the human shape was still full of vitality and energy. At first glance, it looked as if it had not been dead for long, and even the blood was still bright red.
But how is this possible?
It is now the sixth year of Kangjing, and winter is about to begin. Even Emperor Kangjing is already dead. Calculating the time, Emperor Zongming has been dead for more than six years! Although Emperor Zongming likes to seek immortality, he is not a martial arts master, and it is even more impossible for him to complete the barrier of qi and blood. His flesh and blood are almost the same as those of ordinary people. He definitely cannot remain incorruptible for six years after his death.
That can only be attributed to this immortal coffin.
Apart from anything else, at least this fairy coffin is indeed very effective in preserving food.
"Look, even a mass of flesh and blood can be preserved so well, not to mention that Mo Qiu is a master. This is only a small effect of this immortal coffin. Its real use should be in the aspect of the soul, which corresponds exactly to the crux of Mo Qiu at this moment. This is why there is always a way out!"
Qingpingzi took advantage of the opportunity and spoke immediately.
Gu Dan used his true energy to throw out Emperor Zong Ming's flesh and blood. The Emperor Zong Ming, who once enjoyed great glory and power, was now nothing more than a pile of meat.
"Just put Brother Mo in there. How long will it take for him to wake up?"
After cleaning the immortal coffin, Gu Dan asked cautiously.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"this"
Qing Pingzi had cold sweat on his forehead and said carefully: "I never said that this fairy coffin can heal Mo Qiu, I just said that this fairy coffin has the effect of healing the soul."
"Are you kidding me?"
Gu Dan’s eyes darkened.
"No, no!"
Qing Pingzi immediately shook his head. "The wonders of the soul are something that only powerful people at the Nascent Soul level can explore. Even if we are the best in the mortal world, we cannot even begin to understand it. Although this immortal coffin may not necessarily help Mo Qiu wake up, it will definitely nourish his soul and prevent it from suffering from the loss of time, thus leaving a chance for recovery."
When the immortal returns, with your strength and talent, you will definitely be able to find an immortal to become his disciple. Then you can ask him for help, and it may be possible to revive Mo Qiu. This is really the best way I can think of. Even if you kill me, I can't come up with any other way!"
"After all, it is still possible only by relying on the means of the immortal way?"
Gu Dan clenched his fists. Where could he find an immortal at this time? Not to mention an immortal!
"Human power is limited, but the way of immortality is infinite. The highest realm of the way of immortality is to bring the dead back to life, not to mention that Mo Qiu's condition is far from that bad, there is still a good chance of saving him."
Qingpingzi said without any negligence.
A skilled cook cannot cook without rice. How can the mortal world reach the realm of the soul?
No matter how much sand is piled up, it will not be solid stone, and the grand master can only sigh in despair.
"Of course, if we think on the bright side, this immortal coffin may be just the right place to treat Mo Qiu's injuries. Maybe it won't be long before Mo Qiu wakes up on his own and gets out of the coffin!"
Qingpingzi added.
But no one laughed at this joke.
Gong Shangguo listened to the conversation between the two silently, and then looked at Gu Dan - the emotions on that face were so complicated, and there was almost no shame that could be concealed.
He walked to Gu Dan's side and patted him on the shoulder gently. "Don't put too much pressure on yourself, and don't be too sad. On the day we founded the Mohist School, Brother Mo and I thought about the possibility of today. It's just a matter of time."
Gong Shangguo said calmly, "The Mohists can die, and so can the Great Masters. We have already prepared to be torn to pieces, and it is already good enough that we still have a chance to save them."
Gu Dan didn't respond.
He looked at the immortal coffin, then looked at Mo Qiu who was quietly lying in Gong Shangguo's arms, and felt sad.
Long time ago, when Mo Qiu left the Mo family martial arts gym, he knew that Mo Qiu was ready to face everything, and was also ready to die.
At that time, his martial arts skills were just ordinary, so even if he wanted to help, he could only prepare more medicine bags.
Shortly after he was promoted to Grandmaster, Mo Qiu left the imperial capital and rushed to an even more dangerous battlefield.
With great difficulty, he was promoted to Grandmaster. He cast aside all his worries and was finally ready to go out to save the world and fight alongside Moqiu. However, it was too late.
Gu naturally blamed himself because of his worry.
If he was promoted to Grandmaster faster, if he did not go to the White Lotus inheritance site first but went to the battlefield first, if... There can be many ifs, but there is only one reality.
He arrived late.
This criticism was of no use, he could only try every possible way to make amends.
The things you miss require greater effort, and you may not necessarily see the results, but if you don’t do it, there will never be any results.
"Put it in."
Gu Dan did not force Qing Pingzi any further, trying to pry out of him a way to directly save Mo Qiu.
As long as the person is still alive, there is still a chance to save him.
Mo Qiu was very tall, two heads taller than others in the crowd. When he was lying in the immortal coffin, the coffin seemed a little small for him.
It seems that the owner of this immortal coffin is not a tall and strong man.
Mo Qiu, who was lying quietly in the immortal coffin, looked very good, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep.
Gu Dan slowly closed the coffin lid. This saint who was concerned about the country and the people and was willing to die for the people was too tired and needed to take a rest.
When the coffin lid was about to be completely closed, Gu Dan's hands were shaking.
Staring at the familiar face, Gu Dan said with some pain: "Brother Mo, why don't you think about yourself?"
No answer.
Gu Dan stood there and said nothing for a long time.
People like you who are versatile are doomed to a short life, while people like me who have a leisurely nature are also pitied for their talent.
"Rest, have a good rest. The Mohist school will not fall, the Mohists will not fall, and morality will not fall."
Gu Dan stood in front of the immortal coffin and said seriously, "I will complete your unfinished business for you first, but that is your ideal after all, and you have to do it yourself. So, don't sleep too long."
The coffin lid was finally completely closed, as if sealing off a piece of history, a legend, and a period of time that was difficult to trace back.
A new era is about to come, but all the efforts of future generations should not forget to rely on the shoulders of their predecessors.
When we occasionally look back, we realize that it was our ancestors who sacrificed their lives and shed their blood in exchange for the awakening of others and the creation of a new world.
This cycle repeats itself over and over again, and this is inheritance.
Gu Dan took over the heavy burden from Mo Qiu and looked towards the distant future.
The road ahead is as hard as iron, but now we can start over.
Starting from the beginning, the mountains are like the sea and the setting sun is like blood.
