Chapter 69: Abbot Daoyu (First Order Request!)
Li Weiyi carefully examined the two star maps on the door of the megalithic tomb. The silver and yellow gems contained divine aura. It was unknown what material they were made of. They were large and small, densely dotted, and there were so many of them that he could truly feel the vastness of the starry sky.
He observed the "Milky Way" on the door, compared it with the starry sky in his memory, and looked for Orion, the Big Dipper, and other relatively simple and familiar night sky scenes in order to find the answers to his desires.
But I couldn't see why.
Instead, the more I looked, the more dizzy I became, and my eyelids became heavier.
It is obvious that the star map contains some kind of ancient and powerful mental power, and is not just a simple inlaid decoration.
Senior Shijian noticed that he was not in the right state, and quickly reminded him: "Don't look at it for too long. These two star maps have a great origin. They are related to the God of Jiuli and involve the original secrets of the Jiuli tribe."
Li Weiyi woke up in shock and quickly looked away.
It is worthy of being the ancestral land of the Jiuli tribe. Nothing here is simple or ordinary. If he hadn’t had Master Coffin and the Nine Emperor Banner with his current level of cultivation, he would have died dozens of times already!
Following the instructions of the senior in the sarcophagus, Li Weiyi regularly injected his magic power into some gems on the tomb door one by one.
"Be careful and don't make any mistakes. The two star maps on the door of King Cang's tomb contain tens of thousands of spiritual light formation characters. Once triggered, both of us will be dead." Senior Shijian's tone was very serious.
Li Weiyi immediately held his breath and tried to keep his hands steady.
You know, the more spiritual array texts there are, the more powerful the array will be.
A hundred coins protect a town, a thousand coins defend a city.
A thousand-character article on formation tactics can defend a city.
Setting up an array is not a simple piling up of array texts. Each array text is fixed and may very well be the result of the array master's life's work.
Tens of thousands of spiritual light arrays guard a tomb...
No matter how many tomb robbers come, all of them will die.
Li Weiyi carefully injected his magic power while asking, "I'm very curious. Since King Cang is the ancestor of the Cangli tribe, he should not want his descendants to disturb his peace. No one knows how to decipher the formation on the tomb door..."
Before Li Weiyi could finish, Senior Stone Coffin said, "I cracked it. It took me a hundred years."
Li Weiyi said: "..."
Senior Shijian knew what Li Weiyi was thinking at the moment. He was probably praising him for being "really filial", so he explained, "I was forced to do everything!"
"The Netherworld has experienced many devastating wars, not just the one a thousand years ago. The Jiuli tribe has a long history, and part of their cultivation code was destroyed during the war, especially the cultivation content after the Longevity Realm, which is very incomplete."
"As the leader of the Jiuli tribe thousands of years ago, I want to complete it, and at the same time I want to find my own immortal path, so I opened many ancestral tombs in the ancestral realm to look for the initial chapter of the code. Unfortunately, after hundreds of years of hard searching, I found nothing!"
"In the end, he wanted to break into Jiuli Mountain and disturb the tomb of Jiuli God, but he almost died in it."
Senior Shijian knew that Li Weiyi must have guessed his identity, so he no longer concealed it.
Li Weiyi was secretly shocked at how powerful Master Guan was when he was alive. He could actually live so long. Master Lingwei and Master Guan were probably not much worse. No wonder the three of them didn't die completely even after they died to this point.
It is no wonder that they did not want to reveal their identities before. The gap between their power and glory in life and their current state as a mere wisp of soul burning in the wind is too great, and it is naturally hard for them to accept it.
I don't want my old friends and future generations to know about it at all.
Moreover, once their identities are exposed, both they and Li Weiyi will be in extremely dangerous situations.
"alright!"
Activating the last silver gem, Li Weiyi quickly took two steps back.
The ground shook and a roar was heard.
Complex rune-like array patterns were shaken to emerge from the surface of the stone gate, emitting a faint glow.
Two heavy stone doors slowly opened.
“Woo woo!”
It was pitch black inside the door, and a freezing cold wind blew out, cutting the skin like an ice knife.
Faintly, strange cries could be heard coming from the depths of the darkness. They were so miserable and piercing that they sounded like the sound from hell.
Li Weiyi's expression changed, and he swallowed his saliva and said, "Master Guan... why do I feel... something is not right?"
Senior Shiji was very confident: "Don't be afraid! The tomb has been sealed for thousands of years, and suddenly there is a vent. When the wind blows through some objects, it will naturally make some strange noises. The dangers in King Cang's Tomb were cleared away by me thousands of years ago. Just think of it as going home."
Li Weiyi was half-believing and half-doubting. He held the Nine Emperor Banner tighter and walked into the tomb.
“Boom!”
The tomb door, which was nearly five feet thick and more than ten feet high, closed in an instant.
The nine skulls on top of the Nine Emperor Banners contain energy that causes the nine white banners and scriptures to glow, illuminating the wide and pitch-black tomb passage.
The ground is paved with smooth jade and the walls are hard rock with metal particles.
The top of the tomb passage is level with the stone gate, also more than ten feet high, giving it a sense of grandeur. In comparison, the tombs of emperors on Earth seem too shabby, like slums.
Senior Shijian said in a very relaxed and natural tone: "Now you believe that there is no danger here, right? Everything is peaceful and tranquil. I have lived here... for several years..."
The words were not yet finished.
A strange female laugh sounded in the darkness deep in the tomb passage, which was both charming and eerie.
Coupled with the layers of echoes, it can scare the hell out of a person.
Li Weiyi's muscles were tense, and he stared at the dark tomb in front of him. He took a deep breath and looked at the sarcophagus on his shoulder: "This laughter... is very clear... It shouldn't be the sound of the wind, right?"
Senior Shijian was silent for a moment, then said, "Maybe it was some kind of auditory hallucination."
“Da da!”
Footsteps sounded in the darkness.
Then, pink mist emerged from the depths of the tomb passage, with wisps of white gauze floating in the mist.
A tall, moving and beautiful figure walked out step by step from the fog. Her face could not be seen clearly, but her slender and white legs, long flying hair, and countless flower rain accompanied her as she walked.
If Li Weiyi saw such a scene somewhere else, he would find it pleasing to the eye and would not be able to help but take a few more glances.
But when she appeared here, Li Weiyi just felt creepy.
He turned around to escape, but found that the tomb door had already been closed.
The voice in the sarcophagus suddenly became unconfident: "It seems that something went wrong... Use the Nine Emperor Banner, it can ward off evil spirits... Let's collect it and see if we can put her in..."
The seductive laughter coming from the beautiful figure in front suddenly turned into a shrill weird cry, like a ghost or a demon.
Blood mist, light gauze, flower petals, and her hideous and terrifying figure flew towards Li Weiyi under the tomb door at an extraordinary speed with her arms spread out.
Li Weiyi mobilized the magic power in his body and injected it all into the Nine Emperor Banner.
“Wow!”
The light radiated by the nine white banners surged, illuminating the tomb passage like daylight, dispersing the blood mist and light veil, and colliding with the beautiful figure.
Suddenly, powerful waves of air and light surged in the tomb passage.
The beautiful figure seemed to be restrained by the Nine Emperor Banner. With a scream, it fled rapidly into the depths of the dark tomb passage.
Li Weiyi let out a long breath. Fortunately, the Nine Emperor Banner could really ward off evil spirits. He said with lingering fear, "Master Guan, let's get out of here quickly. I feel like I can really practice for another two years before trying again."
"You walk forward fifty steps first." Senior Shijian figured something out and said so.
Li Weiyi still dared to walk fifty steps.
After walking fifty steps carefully, Li Weiyi stopped. Without the need for the stone coffin senior to remind him, his eyes were already fixed on a mural on the stone wall on the left side of the tomb passage.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
The painting shows a sea of flowers and a lake. Standing by the lake is a young woman with an extremely stunning appearance. She is wearing a green gauze and feathered clothes, has a graceful figure, and has long, straight legs, which looks lifelike.
Senior Shijian said: "This mural was painted when I lived here. I added a little bit of her demon blood into the paint. What we encountered just now should be the spirit of this painting. An unintentional act a thousand years ago almost caused a disaster... Fortunately, she is still very weak..."
The cold voice of the spiritual elder rang out from the Daozu Taiji fish: "No wonder you often left for years in those years. You actually painted a fairy here. Don't think I don't know who she is, the flower fairy of Qixia Lake, the most beautiful Xia Jin."
Master Guan's voice sounded, and he did not mind making trouble: "I know Xia Jin, she deserves the title of the most beautiful woman. If she were still alive, she would definitely be one of the demon kings in Lingxiao Biosphere. Weiyi, when you go out, help Master Guan to find out, I want to renew my relationship with her."
Senior Shijian quickly explained: "It's just a mural! It's not like you didn't participate in the demon disaster that happened back then. You collected a lot of demon blood during that battle. You live here and you just did it for fun!"
"Old Coffin, why are you talking so incoherently?" Master Guan said with a smile.
Senior Stone Coffin said, "I have painted more than one picture in the tomb passage. I have painted all the evil spirits whose blood I collected... Could they have given birth to painting spirits?"
Li Weiyi said: "..."
Senior Lingwei said: "Weiyi, don't be afraid of these painting spirits. Use the sword to scrape away the murals, and the painting spirits will naturally turn into ashes."
"good!"
Li Weiyi was very panicked, so he was very decisive and immediately took out the Yellow Dragon Sword.
Deep in the dark tomb passage.
That beautiful figure seemed to be aware of the danger and rushed out again riding the red mist veil.
Accompanying her was a giant saber-toothed ape demon that was several meters tall and had four arms. Both spirits were very ferocious and wanted to stop Li Weiyi from destroying the murals.
“Wow! Wow!”
Two swords were swung out.
A deep cross-shaped sword mark fell on the mural, and gravel and dust flew out.
That beautiful figure quickly turned into ashes amid screams.
“Ouch!”
The saber-toothed giant ape demon roared, the sound shook the tomb passage, and he clenched his fists and swung his arms to attack Li Weiyi. He came with great momentum, but his aura was only strong, and his strength was not as strong as Tang Yan of the Five Seas Realm.
Li Weiyi did not confront it head-on. Instead, he used the Qingxu Chanbu step to slip under it.
Rush to the depths of the tomb at the fastest speed.
After walking dozens of steps, I saw a mural depicting a four-armed saber-toothed monkey.
“Wow! Wow!”
Two swords were slashed out, and the mural was damaged.
The saber-toothed giant ape demon that had caught up let out an unwilling roar, and then dissipated like smoke and dust.
Li Weiyi moved forward all the way. Whenever he encountered a mural of a demon, regardless of whether it gave birth to a painting spirit or not, he would use his sword to destroy seventeen murals before reaching the end of the tomb passage.
Carrying the coffin out of the tomb passage, they came to an open area.
The light emitted by the Nine Emperor Banners could not illuminate this place, and the air was extremely cold, like entering an ice cellar.
Looking up, it was pitch black above and I couldn't see the top.
After walking in this open area for a quarter of an hour, a circular formation made of huge stones appeared in front of them. It had a diameter of one hundred meters. Each stone was several times taller than Li Weiyi, and it was very magnificent.
But the damage was severe, with many huge rocks falling to the ground, destroying the original formation structure.
"Master Guan, is this also your work?"
Li Weiyi was amazed and felt that the Stonehenge in front of him was very unusual, but he didn't know what its purpose was.
Senior Shijian said: "This formation has always existed in King Cang's tomb and has nothing to do with me."
"The stone used to build the formation is quite special. I have never seen this kind of stone in Lingxiao Habitat. I have studied it for a while, but I don't have much clue. Don't worry about it. Let's go to Tianfa Diquan to get the insect eggs first, and go around from the right. There is a hidden passage there."
"Heavenly Law and Earthly Spring" is a spring in the heaven and earth, similar to the spring in a warrior's body, which draws the law between the surrounding heaven and earth, transforms it into law energy, and gushes out continuously. A large-scale Heavenly Law and Earthly Spring can transform the surrounding area into a Dao domain, such as the one in Jiuli City.
This Tianfadi Spring in King Cang's Tomb cannot naturally be compared with the one in Jiuli City. It is just a small spring.
Li Weiyi walked through the hidden passage and saw the Tianfa Diquan in the distance.
The Tianfa Diquan is suspended in the air several meters above the ground. The spring eye is only the size of a bowl, but it is extremely magical. Not only does it spew out thick Dharma energy visible to the naked eye, but there are also light spots and particles pouring out, illuminating the darkness and making this vast space vast and desolate, like a fairyland.
Moreover, you can hear the sound of spring water.
In the abbot's area below the spring, the strong Dharma energy condenses into mist, which can be called a small Taoist area.
At a distance of several dozen feet, Li Weiyi performed breathing techniques.
Suddenly, the spirit above his head vibrated slightly, and the solid barrier of the Seventh Spring was like a thin film that seemed to be able to be broken with a slight touch.
"The Dharma energy is so strong. No wonder everyone is vying for a place to practice in Jiuli Taoist Temple. Practicing in the Taoist realm will definitely double the speed of cultivation." Li Weiyi sighed.
Senior Shijian said: "This Tianfa Diquan seems to have grown a little bigger and has formed a Fangzhang Dao domain. The insect nest is placed on the stone platform below the spring."
