Chapter 1229: Meeting with Zamao
To be honest, the ghost country in the center of the earth is scary to hear, and it feels like it doesn’t even belong to the earthly world.
"The kingdom of ghosts?" Lin Chen asked.
"No, if only it were that simple. The ghost clan is just a kind of spirit, but its power is sinister and its methods are cunning. It's no big deal." Zhou Duobao shook his head.
Indeed, ghosts, or ghost warriors, etc., are only different in the attributes of their cultivation power. It is the power that is different, not the existence itself.
For example, the ghost kings among the eight generals of the Yihuang, after death, are more or less related to ghosts, and are not weird existences.
"The Ghost Country in the Center of the Earth is said to be a country built deep into the earth. The people who live in it are the underground humans, and those who believe in them are ghosts!"
"It's not a ghost, it's not a ghost clan, it's not an evil spirit body, it's the kind of ghost that is superstitious in the world and will become a ghost after death!" Zhou Duobao explained.
Although it was a bit difficult to speak, Lin Chen could understand it.
The two kinds of ghosts are completely different. One kind exists in the world and is a branch of the Taoism of Power, while the other kind exists in people's hearts and where their faith lies!
But in fact, everyone knows that when a person dies, nothing will be left.
To die is to die.
Mortals may not know it, but for warriors, the soul is so powerful that it is impossible to become a ghost after death. How can there be any ghosts after beating the soul to pieces?
There is no such thing as becoming a ghost after death, and there is no such thing as reincarnation!
"This is just a belief, is there anything strange about it?" Lin Chen was puzzled.
There are many ordinary people who believe in ghosts and ghosts. At most, the incense and will power gather together to make those things they believe in manifest themselves and become ghosts and gods.
Incense gods are very common.
Zhou Duobao nodded, this is the truth, but according to the records of ancestors, there are really ghosts in that place!
Lin Chen frowned, always feeling that the surroundings were bright and filled with gloomy energy.
"There is really a ghost. What does this mean?" Lin Chen couldn't help but ask.
Is this going to subvert the entire cognitive system?
"I don't know, and the ancestors' notes didn't explain it clearly. I can only say that there are suspected ghosts in the ghost country in the center of the earth. They firmly believe that they will become ghosts after death, and then go to the ghost country!"
Ridiculous nonsense.
To be honest, Lin Chen didn't believe it, and neither did Bai Shu.
"I don't believe it either, but that's how it's recorded. The ancestor said that he dug up the ruins of the Ghost Kingdom in the Earth's Core by chance, but he came out not long after."
"Unfortunately, not long after he came out, he became confused and confused. In the end, he only wrote down part of what he saw and heard, and then died," Zhou Duobao sighed.
"Where is the ghost country in the center of the earth?" Lin Chen asked.
"I didn't have time to write it down, or it may have been erased, but it is still underground," Zhou Duobao said.
underground.
What is buried under this earth? Lin Chen has an indescribable feeling of powerlessness. He is already so powerful, but standing between heaven and earth, he feels even smaller than before.
Above the sky is the kingdom of the gods. The gods look down on the human world. What is under the earth?
Lin Chen thought of the words above the Sanjiu Diagram: The earth is resurrected, and God is at your feet.
In such a splendid world, the earth has revived, so why is God under our feet?
"In other words, you suspect that this copper coffin was made by the Ghost Kingdom in the Earth's Core?" Lin Chen asked.
"At least there is a connection. After all, apart from that country, there are no similar tattoos," Zhou Duobao said.
Ghost?
Lin Chen looked at the figure on the copper coffin. If he had to say it, this thing did look like a ghost.
Could it be that this is the ghost that people from the ghost country in the center of the earth serve?
The mystery of the copper coffin has been partially solved. The harvest this time is far more than before. Before, Lin Chen could be said to know nothing about the copper coffin.
But now, not only do we know that the copper coffin may be borrowing from the Nine Heavens God-Slaying Technique, but we also know the possibility of its origin.
Although it is difficult to confirm both, it is always a direction.
If we get other copper coffins in the future, we may be able to further solve the mystery.
"So can it be opened?" Lin Chen asked.
"That's ridiculous. My ancestor, who was more professional than me, died in an ominous manner when he dug into the Ghost Country in the Center of the Earth. I don't want to follow in his footsteps!" Zhou Duobao shook his head repeatedly.
He is very confident in his skills, but he is not so crazy that he can compete with the ancestors of the past generations. He can only give up for the time being. When he is ready and his strength improves, he can naturally open the coffin!
"Okay, let's do this first," Lin Chen said.
That's all it can do for the time being.
Zhou Duobao put away his treasure, his eyes were very bright, obviously full of expectations for the future, "I have decided that after digging up the Heavenly Palace this time, I will go to the East China Sea, dig out the legendary East China Sea Tongtian Tomb, and take out Shenlu Haitianyi!"
"With the Shenlu Haitianyi in hand, no matter how powerful the strange power is in this coffin, it can be isolated!"
I have never heard of the Tomb of Tonghai Tongtian in the East China Sea and the Heavenly Clothes of the Sea of Gods, but it sounds very high-end. I guess this is the top challenge in the world of tomb robbing.
"Let's dig up the Heavenly Palace first, and then we won't be able to do it again," Lin Chen said with a smile.
"I am the best shovel in the world in Luoyang, but where can't I dig through?" Zhou Duobao was extremely arrogant.
As for the copper coffin, this thing cannot be included in the space ring or the Kingdom of God. Only the present world can accommodate its existence.
Lin Chen couldn't carry the coffin for a fight, so he asked Catherine Quinn to carry it back.
They are professional and trustworthy.
The two demons have the secret channels of the demons to borrow, and with Catherine's divine revelation, it is not a problem to send the copper coffin back to the demon realm from the demon country, let alone just transport it to the Middle Earth.
"Is it okay not to send it back?" Quinn said.
"What are you afraid of? Just say that we were attacked by the hateful human race on the way, and the copper coffin was lost. We stayed to find the murderer. What's the problem?" Catherine said.
"We are demons after all. Isn't this a bit bad?" Quinn hesitated.
"...", Catherine was slightly entangled, and then relieved, "We are prisoners now. We have to submit under the power of Miss Tianxue and the adults. This is not betrayal of the family. What's the problem?"
"Makes sense!"
Quinn nodded. Lin Chen was so good to them that they almost forgot that they had no capital to resist, and there was no option for them to choose.
For a moment, they breathed a sigh of relief and felt at ease.
In this way, Lin Chen took Zhou Duobao to Shenyuntian Lake. At their speed, they could arrive the next day.
Shenyuntian Lake is a huge lake that you can't see the end of at a glance. The vastness is almost the same as the ocean.
Of course, it is only visually so. The scale is completely incomparable, and it is not even as huge as the Sea of Bitterness.
Shenyuntian Lake is surrounded by continuous wilderness mountains and many forbidden areas. Ordinary monsters cannot reach this place. They are all natural dangers.
But these are not obstacles for Lin Chen now.
"The spiritual energy flowing in the air is indeed different from other places. Is it because of the impact of the fall of the Heavenly Palace?" Lin Chen's eyes flashed.
His perception is sharp and he can detect slight differences. The atmosphere here is a bit similar to the Shenyun Land in the Kingdom of Heaven. It should be that after the God Curtain was opened, the power of the God Realm fell into the world and partially transformed this place passively.
It can be seen that when Donghuang Taier ascended, he really blew through the God Curtain.
Lin Chen stood by the lake and looked into the distance. At the end of his vision, in the center of the lake, there was a faint light column that penetrated the sky and the earth.
That was the guiding light emitted by the Tianhu Fortress. The stability of the passage to the God Realm was also related to this.
Lin Chen looked at it and compared it with the fortress structure diagram shown in the previous file to determine the current position.
"Let's go see if the mixed hair has arrived first," Lin Chen whispered.
Without going deep into the lake, Lin Chen quickly rushed to the designated coordinates along the lakeshore. Yuwen Mu had great means, and he personally caught this matter, so I believe there would be no accidents.
Sure enough, after arriving at the place, Lin Chen saw a mixed hair chicken in the bushes, with its butt raised and its head down to peck at insects, but the feathers on its butt were gone, and it was bare.
Was it plucked?
"How can there be a chicken in this place?" Zhou Duobao was surprised.
This thing is not a monster, and it seems to have nothing to do with the chicken tribe of the Monster Country.
No matter how you look at it, it's very strange to have a mixed hair chicken in such a place.
"This mixed hair chicken is so cool," Zhou Duobao said in amazement, admiring that a chicken can survive in such a place and look for food so unscrupulously.
Ordinary monsters dare not approach this place.
Lin Chen shook his head helplessly. This bastard is definitely not a simple guy. After he "died", he ran with the pig to hug Xiao Xiaosu's thigh. How could he be an ordinary chicken?
Very smart!
"Alas, why hasn't this little Chenzi come yet? He made me wait. He is really bold. When we meet, we have to give him a beating!" Zamao stretched out his chicken head from the bushes and looked around, sighing slightly.
This is why Xiaochenzi is ignorant. I invited him from afar, but he didn't come yet. Is there any rule?
"If you don't come, I will go back. What a mess, let me do it myself?" Zamao was very disdainful.
If it weren't for the old man Jiansheng, it would not come!
"Zamao, you are a little arrogant recently", but a voice sounded, and Lin Chen stood in front of Zamao, squatted down, and looked at it kindly.
Zamao was so scared that all its feathers stood up, and it flapped its wings and tried to run away, but this chicken couldn't even fly, so how could it escape? Lin Chen grabbed its neck and lifted it up.
"Brother, don't be angry, I just said those words for fun, why are you so serious, you know, I only follow your lead!" Zamao shouted hurriedly.
"Humph!" Lin Chen snorted, but he didn't get angry because of these few words.
He grabbed its neck and swung it around for a few times, and then let it go.
Zamao was dizzy and said vaguely: "Brother, why are you so angry? Just one word from you, and I came directly from the Central Region without hesitation for a second!"
It's better!
Lin Chen rolled his eyes and asked, "I heard that you went to live with my daughter?"
Za Mao heard this and immediately flattered, "Brother, look at what you are saying. At that time, we all thought you were dead. Zhutou and I were worried that Sister Huan would get into an accident and be sought after by her enemies, so we went to protect her!"
Sister Huan?
The name is quite interesting.
"Did you know that Sister Huan was my daughter at that time?" Lin Chen snorted.
It was obviously because of the strange phenomenon in the world caused by Sister Huan's birth that he decided to hug her thigh.
Za Mao laughed and said, "Brother, what's the point of caring about such trivial matters? The point is that we have served Sister Huan comfortably in the past two years, and Sister Huan likes us now!"
Then it twisted its butt to show Lin Chen, "See, all my hair was plucked by Sister Huan herself, ouch, it hurts so much!"
Lin Chen was very amused when he heard this.
He had never seen his daughter before, so he smiled and asked, "Why did she pluck your feathers?"
"She plucks them a few times when she is unhappy," Zamao lamented.
"Unhappy? Why not!" Lin Chen's eyes suddenly became sharp.
"Don't, don't get excited, it's the old man Jiansheng, who is very perverted. He has extremely high requirements for Sister Huan and is very strict. If she can't do it, he will hit her palm!"
"Sister Huan is only two years old, I don't know why he is so strict! This old thing, wait until Sister Huan grows up and can't beat him to death!" Zamao shouted.
"..." Lin Chen was speechless.
Jiansheng is the number one person under the current emperor, the number one person in swordsmanship, and the only one who is suspected of mastering the Nine Tribulations Sword Intentions.
He himself is the world's number one peerless, so naturally he will have high requirements for Sister Huan.
But hitting the palm is too much. Find an opportunity, Lin Chen has to beat Jiansheng up and vent Sister Huan's anger!
"Brother, is this considered a work injury?" Zamao looked at his bald buttocks and couldn't help asking.
"It's nothing," Lin Chen snorted, "How is Sister Huan now?"
"I don't know what the Sword Saint is thinking, sending Sister Huan to Jiangshan Shejiyuan. The old dean is quite nice, and loves Sister Huan very much. He is teaching Sister Huan to learn to write."
"This is good!" Bai Shu's eyes lit up.
As expected of the dean of Jiangshan Shejiyuan, he is on the right track!
Lin Chen also smiled a little. Knowing Sister Huan's recent situation, he was in a much better mood. His daughter was waiting for him. No matter what, he couldn't die in such a place!
"You are more familiar with the Tiangong than us. This time I asked you to come here just to see if there is any hidden place where the Tiangong fell!" Lin Chen said, pointing to the lake.
Zamao's eyes lit up when he heard it.
"Brother, then you have found the right person. I follow the Emperor of Heaven. I know every brick and tile of the Tiangong!" Zamao promised!
At this moment, without further delay, several people sank into the Shenyuntian Lake, intending to look for traces of the Heavenly Palace first.
Underwater, it was not quiet either. There were many water monsters in the lake, shrimp soldiers, crab generals, and even dragons, and the network spread all over the bottom of the water.
And these monsters are also part of the fortress defense. The water is their world.
However, Lin Chen is also a dragon, swimming in it, and it is naturally impossible to be easily detected.
Going all the way to the bottom of the lake, you can vaguely see some broken walls and ruins, which have not been buried by mud and sand to this day.
And some buildings are relatively well preserved, and there are even deep corridors, which look like caves at this moment.
Just as he was about to enter, Lin Chen noticed a little bit of paralysis in the water. It turned out that this ruin had become the nest of the red electric eel.
The monster had already turned this place into its own territory.
"It looks like the buildings are decayed, and the patterns on them are only decorative effects, without the former divine power." Zhou Duobao was covered by Lin Chen's power without revealing his breath.
He walked into a corridor and checked a half-destroyed stone chamber, but unfortunately he didn't find anything.
After looking around, Lin Chen didn't find anything special. After all, it's been so many years, and it's not their turn to find anything so easily.
"Alas, has the once glorious Heavenly Palace become like this?" Zamao sighed.
Fortunately, the Nine Heavens are preserved, and what fell here is the outer part of the Heavenly Palace, or in other words, the base of the Nine Heavens.
Of course, having said that, this base is actually an extremely amazing part, enough to rival any imperial city in the world!
"Don't sigh, have you found anything?" Lin Chen asked.
"It seems that a few places are missing, such as the explosives depot built by His Majesty himself," Zamao said.
