Chapter 209 Entering the Mountain Again

Thousands of years ago, Jiang Wuwei didn't want anyone to disturb Yan Zhong's resting place, so he used the only person at the Guanshi realm at that time to set up many forbidden spells and curses to ensure that no one except him could enter.

But he never imagined that one day these forbidden spells and curses would keep him out.

Before setting off, the two brothers from Longtan Mountain and the master and apprentice from Qingming Mountain looked at the nine forbidden spells and a hundred curses listed by Jiang Wulie, and were silent for a full minute. Then Zeng Zhiyang couldn't help but ask, "Who is buried here? Is it an ancient god?"

“…”

Han Zhong coughed lightly, "An ordinary person."

The two brothers naturally didn't believe it. That was Mozi Mountain, the first of the ten most dangerous places. Miasma, carbon dioxide, strong magnetic fields, evil objects... Each of them was extremely dangerous if taken alone, not to mention that modern weapons were ineffective and monks couldn't withstand them all together. How could an ordinary person be buried there? Most likely it was some emperor or general from thousands of years ago, or an enlightened monk.

But they had no choice. The president promised to return their sect's territory to them if this mission was successful. Otherwise, they would not have come here.

"Before liberation, a group of enemy troops disappeared inside. No one was found alive, and no one was found dead. Sixty years ago, a group of independent cultivators went in together and lost their whereabouts. Thirty years ago, a national exploration team went in and lost their news. To this day, no bodies have been found. Half of the team were armed police."

Yan Zhishan's eyes moved from Han Zhong to Jiang Wu Lian, and he said sternly, "Are you sure we can escape unscathed? How can we avoid the curse? There must be something extremely evil inside the extremely evil place. Are you sure we can handle it?"

"Don't worry about the curse, I will make sure you are all safe. As for the evil things, you don't need to deal with them. You just need to help me break the curse and open the formation inside the mountain. You don't need to go in." Jiang Wu said.

Yan Zhishan became even more suspicious after hearing this. The curse did not seem to be a forbidden spell. As long as the conditions of the curse were met, one would be cursed, unless the caster was killed or the caster lifted the curse himself.

In silence, Han Zhong tapped the table with his fingertips and glanced at the Taoist priests present. "In recent years, Chinese studies have become popular. Huayue intends to develop a Taoist tourist attraction to increase incense and boost the economy. Huayue will vigorously support and promote it. If you are interested, we can discuss it after we come back."

Yan Zhishan: "..."

Bai Xianling smiled and said, "Okay, I couldn't ask for more."

On the day of departure, Jiang Wu gave each of Ji Ruoxuan and others a peach wood token. They did not think much about it and just thought that Jiang Wu wanted them to use it for self-protection. They accepted it with a smile and reminded him and Han Zhong to come back early so that they could catch the Spring Festival and participate in the celebration together.

The Spring Festival of Mozi is scheduled for May 30th every year. Yang Chen plans to leave after recording the Spring Festival. As for Mozi Mountain, he never dares to go in again. After all, the lesson last time was too severe. The head office has received Su Mu’s complaint against him. If anyone in this group is injured again, he will have to go to jail with nothing. So this time he could only watch Jiang Wu lead people into the mountain, but he did not forget to tell Jiang Wu what was inside after he came back.

Jiang Wu didn't say that he might not be able to come back, he nodded and agreed.

Compared to the "Exploration" program crew who were completely clueless, Zhou Changming learned from Zhou Yannan that Jiang Wu went into the mountain this time to save his life. If he didn't get the answer he wanted, he might never come back. Therefore, he was extremely silent all the way to Mozi Mountain.

Zhou Yannan could see that his child was not right, so he reached out and touched his head. "When there is only one way to go, you don't need to think too much, just keep moving forward. Any hesitation and worry will consume yourself in advance."

Zhou Changming looked out the car window at the looming mountains and said, "I'm afraid Han Zhong will be upset."

"That is his fate, and no one can do anything about it."

“…”

Two weeks later, Mozi Mountain has returned to its original state. Located in the center of the mountains, Mozi is like a towering pagoda, vast and quiet, filled with an ancient, mysterious and terrifying aura, but many people feel a chill in their backs.

Although he had expected this, Zeng Zhiyang still couldn't help but shudder when he actually stood at the foot of the mountain, "What a strong evil spirit."

Although Yan Zhishan and Bai Xianling did not speak, their expressions were equally solemn. With such a strong evil aura, it was almost certain that there must be something extremely evil inside.

"Now that we are here, let's get started."

Zhou Yannan looked sick, but he was the calmest one. He asked Zhou Changming to drag a heavy cowhide bag from the car. When it was opened, stacks of thunder talismans painted with cinnabar were revealed, weighing about fifty kilograms.

Facing the surprised looks of the crowd, Zhou Yannan explained, "Evil things are not as bad as evil spirits, and living things are harder to deal with than dead things. Formations may not be enough. We need to add thunder talismans that are specifically designed to break evil spirits to ensure that after the forbidden spell is broken, the evil spirit in the mountain will not leak out."

Everyone nodded and agreed with him.

Without saying anything more, Zhou Yannan bit the tip of his right index finger, and quickly changed the finger seals in front of his chest while silently chanting, "Qian Shunjing, Kun Yingling, Sun and Moon Phase, Mountains and Rivers Shape, Drive away thunder and lightning, Move Xuanjing, Push away evil, Henry Zhen... Hurry up, I am following the order of the Great Emperor Ziwei of the North Pole, command!"

As the decree was uttered, powerful red innate qi instantly covered his entire body. A sudden gust of wind above his head instantly swept away the flowers, plants and trees at the foot of the mountain. The thick cinnabar talisman paper in the cowhide bag flew into the air. Talismans quickly surrounded the majestic mountain in front of him, barely encircling the mountain which covered an area of ​​nearly 10,000 square kilometers, and then merged into the formation and disappeared.

Yan Zhishan's eyes sparkled, and he couldn't help but shout, "What a wonderful innate Qi!"

The formation was completed, and Zhou Yannan's body went limp, and he fell backwards. Zhou Changming, who had been prepared, caught him. Before he could even say a word, he took out a knife from his pocket, cut a bloody wound on his finger, and stuffed the liquid into Zhou Yannan's mouth, urging him as he stuffed it in, "Drink it quickly, it's fresh!"

Zhou Yannan rolled his eyes at him speechlessly, but did not refuse. He lowered his head and sucked a few mouthfuls of blood. When his pale face had recovered a little, he pushed Zhou Changming's hand away and looked at Jiang Wu.

Jiang Wu lowered his eyes and looked at him, indicating that he should speak frankly.

Zhou Yannan's cool, sleepy eyes were rarely serious. "If you had read that memory of the consciousness, you would have known that he never regretted making you his friend. So if there was a chance to start over..."

"It's time to go." Bai Xianling suddenly spoke. It was already the best time he had calculated to go into the mountains.

Jiang Wu didn't have time to ask what Zhou Yannan meant by that sentence. He followed the time and held Han Zhong's hand and stepped into the entrance of Mozi Mountain, followed closely by Rong Anzhou.

There are four eyes of the forbidden spell inside Mozi Mountain, which is the broken stone tablet discovered by Cheng Ye before. Written on it is the spell left by Jiang Wu thousands of years ago. Therefore, when he met Yang Chen and others that time, he was able to temporarily use the remaining spell power on the stone tablet to set up a maze to trap them.

This time they need to divide Yan Zhishan and others into four groups, and go to the east, south, west and north peaks at the same time, and lift the forbidden spell according to the method taught by Jiang Wu, and open the way to the real forbidden area inside Mozi Mountain.

Just like Yang Chen and his team, they encountered miasma on the first night they entered the mountain. Fortunately, Rong Anzhou provided professional equipment for everyone, but inevitably, all the high-tech positioning tools they had were ineffective, the starry sky above their heads was covered by dark clouds, and the entire forest was so dark that no end could be seen.

Rong Anzhou and his four men were banging on the instruments, Long Danshan and his two fellow apprentices began to calculate the direction by pinching their fingers, and Luo Yun watched Bai Xianling casting copper coins and carrot hexagrams to find the way.

Han Zhong looked at Jiang Wu and blinked. Jiang Wu's heart was instantly filled with a surge of responsibility. He raised his hand and blew a long whistle towards the sky. Then, the cry of an eagle was heard echoing in the forest. Then a ferocious white eagle flew over and landed on Jiang Wu's arm with its wings flapping.

Zeng Zhiyang and Luo Yun exclaimed in unison: "Dragon Sleeping!"

Rong Anzhou was just trying to figure out if this albino eagle was the one that led them that night, and his eardrums were startled by their shouting, "What cotton?"

"Originally it was just a species of albino eagle, but legend has it that Emperor Zhaowu of the Great Zhou was injured and lost during a campaign in the northern border. Later, a white eagle led the way and was found by his soldiers. Later, when Emperor Zhaowu ascended the throne and offered sacrifices to heaven, the white eagle also appeared. It also took the edict of sacrifice from Emperor Zhaowu's hand and threw it into the incense burner. Since then, people have regarded it as a messenger of destiny, second only to the true dragon emperor, so it is called Longmian."

"This story is recorded in the biographies of emperors in the History of Zhou. Later, emperors of all dynasties regarded the white eagle as a good omen and called it the Sleeping Dragon. There was also a traitor in a certain dynasty who tried to confuse the truth with the false and usurp the throne, but they never succeeded."

Yan Zhishan rarely spoke at such length. At this moment, his eyes were fixed on the extremely docile white eagle in Jiang Wu's hand, and then he stared at Jiang Wu, "Did you raise this?"

"No." Jiang Wu denied.

Longmian's life span was not long. The one he raised had long died of old age in the palace of the Great Zhou Dynasty. This one should have originally lived in this mountain, but the Longmian clan recognized the bloodline of the Siming clan.

Yan Zhishan certainly didn't believe it, and he was even more suspicious of the man in front of him. He stared at him for a while unconsciously, and the next second, a figure suddenly blocked his sight.

It was Mr. Han who bought their mountain. He stood next to Jiang Wu very naturally and blocked his gaze very seriously. If it wasn't for that casual glance, he wouldn't have noticed it.

Yan Zhishan looked at the president's calm face and healthy body, then looked at Rong Anzhou and the four bodyguards behind him whose brows were unconsciously furrowed and their breathing was slightly rapid, and gradually realized that something was wrong.

Not to mention these ordinary people, even his fellow apprentice and Luo Yun felt uncomfortable because of the evil spirit in the mountain. How come Mr. Han didn't react at all?
