Chapter 73: The Alien Coffin from Kunlun
Then Cangli introduced Li Weiyi to everyone and told them about the fierce battle that took place by the Sui River a month ago. But soon, everyone's discussion turned to the ultimate battle between Cangli and the inheritor of Longmen at the Sui River.
After listening for a while, Li Weiyi realized that such a thing happened after he escaped that night.
After being completely marginalized, Li Songlin took Li Weiyi away.
He smiled and said, "Don't mind it! You have to know that any brother will not like his sister's lover and will always try to find faults in you. But he brought the experience book of Kai Jiuquan with him, which shows that he still put in some effort."
"It's just that the incident that Xue Zheng had on the street before must have been distorted and spread by others, so he has a lot of opinions about you."
"Young people, especially those with his talent, are very arrogant, so their words are naturally sharp."
"But there is one thing I agree with. You have to fight. If you can't defeat Zutian, how can you defeat Xue Zheng?"
"After the emergence of Cangli, the Jiuli tribe now cares a lot about the success or failure of the younger generation. They want to rise again in his generation and suppress Suizong, Sanchen Palace, Tianyi Sect, and Guanhai Pavilion."
"Don't worry, Fourth Uncle. I will try my best to reach the Ninth Spring." Li Weiyi was very calm and put away the booklet given by Cangli.
Originally, he didn't need it, after all, there were three old antique masters, but how could the number one of the young generation in Lizhou save face by rejecting Cang Li in that situation?
Li Ling caught up with him and said, "I will explain it clearly to my brother! They are just spreading rumors. It's just Xue Zheng. How can you be afraid of him?"
Li Weiyi seemed indifferent and didn't care about their opinions.
He only cares about the revenge of being hunted down by Xue Zheng, Tang Yan and others.
On the stone bridge ahead, a woman in her early thirties walked over. She wore a long robe with a cloud pattern on the outside and a white silk undershirt with wide cuffs embroidered with branch and leaf patterns on the inside.
"mother!"
Li Lingru, a lively antelope, instantly turned into a motionless quail, lowered her head and hid slightly behind Li Songlin.
"Sister-in-law." Li Songlin saluted with his fists clasped.
Li Weiyi knew his limits and bowed without looking directly at the young woman opposite him.
But with just a quick glance, he could tell that the other person was a pure immortal body, with not many signs of aging on his face and his eyes were very sharp.
Without any preparation or greetings, the young woman asked, "What are your plans next?"
Among the three people present, it was obvious that this question could not be addressed to Li Songlin and Li Ling.
Li Weiyi answered truthfully: "For the time being, I just want to practice hard for a while and impact the Ninth Spring Ancestral Field."
"Let's stay at Zaomei Manor for now."
…
When Li Weiyi raised his head again, Li Ling's mother Qin Dan had already gone far away. She had only said two sentences from beginning to end. He said, "Fourth Uncle, why do I feel like I've been tricked by you? I shouldn't have come to Zaomei Manor."
Li Songlin smiled and said, "Do you feel the pressure? To tell you the truth, the mistress of our Li family rarely shows up. Not to mention you, I feel the pressure too."
The head of the direct lineage of the Cangli tribe is Cangli and Li Ling’s father, Li Songgu.
Of course, the head of the family is not the patriarch.
The head of the family sits in the clan residence in Jiuli City, and the clan leader sits in the ancestral mountain.
"It's time to open the coffin from another world. The master needs to open the coffin from another world."
"I heard that the Otherworldly Coffin was going to be opened tonight, so I came here to join in the fun."
"What's the good news?"
"Never mind. The coffin-opening skills of the Cangli Patriarch are enough to rank among the top ten in Lizhou. There are not many people in the older generation who are better than him. Today will definitely be an eye-opener."
…
Not only those young cultivators, but also some Mesozoic figures who heard the news, all rushed to the backyard.
Li Ling was a little surprised: "What happened to my father? He probably hasn't opened the coffin in person for some time, right?"
Li Songlin smiled and said, "I guess your father probably wants to show off his skills in front of his future son-in-law, so that he won't misunderstand the rumors and think that the Li family is really ruled by the mistress."
How could Li Weiyi believe this?
But I was really curious about the coffin from another world.
It is said that the most ordinary coffin from another world is worth tens of millions of copper coins, enough to buy a house in Jiuli City. It is a treasure that only great monks can afford.
The Jiuli tribe became rich by salvaging coffins from other worlds.
As luck would have it, he had hidden fifteen coffins from other worlds carefully selected by the coffin master in the Blood Sea Coffin Dock in the Evil Camel Bell, and he had long planned to sell them.
"You guys go and take a look first. The alien coffin that we are going to open today is quite rare. Maybe we can get something extraordinary from it." Li Songlin said with a meaningful smile.
When Li Weiyi and Li Ling rushed to the backyard, it was already crowded.
The area in the middle where the coffins from other worlds were placed was surrounded by people.
The two did not squeeze into the middle, but found a higher position and looked from afar.
The alien coffin that was surrounded was the size of a normal coffin and was made of black wood. As laymen, none of the cultivators present could see its rarity.
But the coffins from other worlds were salvaged from the sea of blood, and they had been soaked for who knows how many years. If they were made of ordinary wood, how could they be preserved so well? Li Songgu, who was standing next to the coffin from other worlds, was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties. He was quite thin, wearing a simple green robe, a square scarf on his head, and his temples hung down to his shoulders. He looked very energetic and had a refined temperament.
He glanced calmly at the crowd, then made some finger gestures.
“Wow!”
The spiritual eye between his eyebrows opened, and a mist of spiritual light like the aurora burst out from his body and reached the sky. A powerful aura enveloped the area several feet around the coffin from another world.
"Sprinkle some red cinnabar, just in case." He shouted softly.
The two older assistants threw a kind of red soil into the alien coffin.
After the bright cinnabar flew onto the spiritual mist held up by Li Songgu, it automatically slid down and formed a circle with a diameter of about three meters on the ground.
Li Ling whispered, "This is to prevent the existence of dead souls in the coffin! Once a dead soul rushes out, it will be blocked in the circle by the red cinnabar."
"Bang! Bang! Bang..."
Li Songgu made finger gestures and knocked on the coffin in all directions, especially the bottom, twelve times.
With every strike, ripples of spiritual light surged out.
After a moment, he frowned and said, "Based on my many years of experience in opening coffins, this is a coffin from another world, Kunlun. This wood may be made of divine wood. The coffin itself has extraordinary medicinal value and can be called a thousand-year-old fine medicine."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"boom!"
All the cultivators in the courtyard were shocked.
The coffin boards are all made of thousand-year-old refined herbs? Even one or two ounces of thousand-year-old refined herbs can be sold at a sky-high price.
How much does this coffin weigh? How much is it worth?
Li Weiyi was naturally jealous. If he could get a pound of coffin boards to feed the seven Phoenix-winged Moth Kings, perhaps he could feed them to a level where their combat power was comparable to that of a Five Seas Realm martial artist.
Of course, the premise is that this coffin from another world is really comparable to a thousand-year-old elixir.
Li Songgu saw that everyone didn't believe him, so he took a magic-grade dagger from an older assistant and slashed the top of the coffin.
The magic weapon could only leave a shallow mark.
A faint aura emanated from the scratched mark. Those with keen perception discovered that the surrounding vegetation was obviously affected and became greener.
There were bursts of exclamations in the courtyard, and many people were jealous and anxious.
Li Songgu's face turned serious: "Just like the legend says, this alien coffin can no longer be opened!"
After making such a big show and hammering for a while, it didn't open! What does that mean? Li Songgu clasped his fists and apologized politely: "It's not that I don't want to open it, but with my current mental power, I can't control it. This kind of sacred wood coffin from Kunlun was once opened by the Nine Li sages..."
He paused halfway through his words and said, "Forget it. This matter is of great importance, so it's better for you to know less. Put it away, put it away quickly, and transport it back to the ancestral mountain as soon as possible."
Not to mention the cultivators present, even Li Weiyi could hardly bear it anymore and wanted to curse.
He was very interested in this alien coffin that was comparable to a thousand-year-old elixir, but he was even more interested in "Kunlun" because it was the most mysterious place in the myths and legends of the earth, the mountain of the gods.
Why is the name so coincidental?
After everyone had left, Li Weiyi took the initiative to step forward and greet them, performing the etiquette of a junior.
Li Songgu has a very good personality and is very kind: "You are Li Weiyi, right? I heard Lao Si talk about you. You are a good person. Yes, you are a good person."
Li Weiyi couldn't stand the gazes tonight, and asked impatiently, "May I ask, Patriarch, how did you determine where a coffin from another world came from?"
Li Songgu was very talkative. He said carefully, "Everyone thinks that the most valuable things in the coffins of other worlds are the secret treasures and the remains of the deceased. But I think the most valuable things in the coffins are the books and volumes. You should know that although the words on these volumes are different, they can be interpreted using telekinesis."
"The various books and volumes in the coffin record and describe real worlds. However, no one knows where these worlds are."
"I really want to go out and look for the worlds recorded in the alien coffins in my lifetime. Unfortunately, the Netherworld is vast and the sea of blood is endless... Well, I'm getting off track. It's like this. As long as you have enough experience and read enough information, it's not difficult to determine the origins of the alien coffins."
Li Weiyi asked, "Has the word Kunlun ever appeared in some of the classics of the alien world?"
"Kunlun should be a large world, and there are quite a few coffins from other worlds. However, the one in front of us is too special, and the wood is extraordinary, so we cannot move it rashly." Li Songgu said.
Li Weiyi asked: "In the coffin from Kunlun, are there any words related to the Queen Mother of the West in the classics?"
Li Songgu frowned and shook his head after recalling the past carefully.
Li Weiyi pondered the myths and legends related to Kunlun, and asked, "What about Tianyong City? Xuanpu Palace?"
Li Songgu shook his head again.
Li Weiyi gave up. It seemed that although this world had some overlap with the myths and legends of Earth, they did not match at all.
Li Ling rushed over and said anxiously, "Dad, uncle and aunt are here to ask for the exotic medicine stained with fairy mist that uncle picked. They are already arguing. You should go and have a look."
"How worrying! What does the medicine collected by the fourth brother have to do with them? It's a family shame! Weiyi, you stay here for now. We can talk about the alien coffin later in the evening."
Li Songgu sighed and walked quickly towards the corridor.
Li Weiyi took a look at the alien coffin being carried away, then looked at Li Songgu's back, and gradually came to his senses. Recalling everything that had happened before, he thought to himself, "Could this patriarch be fishing on purpose? This alien coffin is not an ordinary bait."
Li Weiyi certainly didn't think that he was being baited or tested. A small shrimp like him was not qualified to be so carefully calculated by a family head.
