Chapter 296 The second step (asking for monthly votes)
The light is bright but not dazzling, warming the soul and bringing purity. Silks of black air evaporate and disappear, and the gloomy and dead place turns into a Buddhist pure land.
"It is indeed a green lantern in front of the Buddha. Even if it is damaged, it is still so powerful." Meng Qi held the green lantern and praised it with peace of mind.
Jiang Zhiwei gasped slightly and said with a smile: "At least it was once a Dharmakaya-level treasure."
In the previous battle, except for Meng Qi and Jiang Ruanqi, all three of them used the method of suppressing the bottom of the box, which consumed a lot of money and could only barely speak.
Meng Qi was in low spirits, and the lights shrank and returned to their original state, but the light and warmth still fell on him, and for a short period of time, no Yin Qi spread and he was reborn.
"This is..." Meng Qi picked up the object.
It is a green jade pendant with warm tentacles that have not been infected by Yin Qi. There are several carved thunder marks on it, and there are inscriptions on the front and back.
"Jushenzhuang...Huangfu Tao..." Meng Qi regained his energy a little and read out these six inscriptions softly.
Ruan Yushu hugged the guqin again, her face was white, her black hair was disheveled, her beauty was eerie, and she felt more and more like a ghost in A Chinese Ghost Story.
She played "Feng Ming Jiutian" and was low on energy. When she saw Meng Qiwang coming over, she didn't say anything. She shook her head and indicated that she didn't know "Jushenzhuang" or Huangfu Tao.
Qi Zhengyan thought for a while and said, "I don't know where it comes from."
"It should be the strong man in the Jiuxiang world who gave you the jade pendant. I'm afraid you will tell his family and find a way to help him escape." Jiang Zhiwei said thoughtfully, "He has acquired some Thunder God inheritance, and the Taoism he left behind should be It’s also related to this, it’s not just a mission, it’s an opportunity.”
"It makes sense. If you get the chance, you should send the jade pendant to Jushen Manor." Meng Qi recalled the fight just now, and became more and more certain that Huangfu Tao, who was holding a spear, even if he did not obtain the Shenxiao Jiujiu, he still had an outdoor skill derived from the Dharmakaya magic skill. .
He put away the jade pendant and looked at the door of the main tomb: "Shall we go in now? The evil ghost is inside..."
The four of them were in a semi-recovered state, with less than 30% of their strength. If they encountered evil spirits, it would be a disaster, so Meng Qi asked whether he should wait to recover to his peak state, or seize the time and not miss the opportunity.
"Just now the evil ghost was illuminated by the green lantern in front of the Buddha and retreated into the tomb. We must find the clues left by Emperor Zhenwu as soon as possible while it and the living dead in the exterior are still under influence and leave the tomb." Jiang Zhiwei has always been resolute and resolute in doing things.
Qi Zhengyan echoed: "Anyway, it was suppressed and unable to take action on its own. There is no difference between here and in the tomb."
"Complete the mission as soon as possible." A look of disgust appeared on Ruan Yushu's cold face. The change from life to death and the various conditions of the mausoleum made her feel uncomfortable and had no appetite. "If it is dangerous, stop leaving."
"Okay." Meng Qi held the green lantern and Tian Zhizhi deeply and walked to the door of the main tomb. He looked at the dark stone door and took a deep breath. He felt excited about witnessing history and looking back to the ancient times.
The ancient power who once dominated the ancient times, left a lasting legacy in mythology, and was famous throughout the nine heavens and ten earths was about to appear in front of him.
It was an era of long life, measured in hundreds of thousands of years. It was an era of catching stars and the moon, shooting the sun and destroying the world, and Emperor Zhenwu was the top one.
Using his right hand, the stone door slowly opened, making a heavy clicking sound, revealing the scene inside the tomb little by little.
Nine copper-colored dragons spread from all directions to the center, surrounding a coffin, an ordinary black coffin.
Each copper-colored dragon is lifelike, with the breath of a real dragon emanating from it. It seems that they have all the characteristics of a real dragon, including the mysterious and mysterious real dragon apertures.
"Yuan Tong became a spirit and transformed into a dragon..." Qi Zhengyan blurted out, but stopped immediately because a figure stood in front of the ordinary black coffin.
He is tall and tall, giving people a majestic feeling. His muscles are crisscrossed, his armor is bulging, his long hair is dancing wildly, and he is accompanied by an electric light.
On the armor, every black scale gives people an unusually heavy feeling, as if they are all mountains and stars.
This feeling of familiarity... Meng Qi swallowed hard: "Thor God..."
He actually appeared in the tomb of Emperor Zhenwu!
This change was completely beyond the expectations of Meng Qi and others, and there was no reaction for a moment.
After a while, Jiang Zhiwei came back to her senses and whispered: "It's just an afterimage transformed by the breath, which has survived until now with the help of the mausoleum's hidden secrets and suppressive arrangements."
After her reminder, Meng Qi realized that the back of the God of Thunder was illusory and devoid of substance.
"Perhaps after Emperor Zhenwu disappeared, as a friend who joined forces to suppress Jiuyou and subjugate demons, the God of Thunder once searched for his whereabouts and found him here." Meng Qi speculated.
Qi Zhengyan still had no expression: "But this kind of power, unless it is intentional, will not let the breath leak out, and it remains to this day. What news does the God of Thunder want to tell those who come after him?"
"Perhaps he was agitated and couldn't control his breath." Ruan Yushu thought for a moment. If someone robbed him of his delicious food, he must have been agitated and his breath was exposed.
So what happened that shocked Thor's mind to this extent? Meng Qi approached slowly, wanting to walk to the front of the Thunder God to see if there was any news left.
Jiang Zhiwei protected his rear, while Ruan Yushu and Qi Zhengyan followed suit.
Before he could get close, the figure of the God of Thunder gradually became blurred and disappeared on the spot. Only thunder marks remained on the opposite wall.
These many thunder marks have no sense of agility, nor the majesty of thunder. They are just bottomless, as if they lead to the world of darkness.
"This is caused by the overflowing aura of the God of Thunder, and some of the true meaning inside is gone." Meng Qi, as a person with the inheritance of the God of Thunder, could see the reason at a glance.
Jiang Zhiwei said thoughtfully: "Huangfu Tao should have realized the 'Thunder Dharma' here."
"I wonder where these thunder marks lead..." Qi Zhengyan looked at the bottomless thunder marks and muttered to himself.
What lies behind them is not walls or other tombs, but deep blackness.
"These copper-colored dragon spirits have lost their vitality and have become dead objects again." Ruan Yushu looked at the nine copper-colored dragons with slightly bright eyes. He did not have so many copper-colored dragons at home, and he still became a spirit and became a spirit. Yes, if converted into good deeds, converted into delicious food...
However, Meng Qi and others did not dare to touch the Yuan Bronze Dragon Essence for fear of destroying the arrangement, so they let the "evil ghost" go. Moreover, even if they wanted to move, the mustard ring could not be put down and could not be taken away at all.
On the surrounding walls, except for the side damaged by thunder marks, there are paintings on each side. Some are of an old man in Taoist attire lying on nine layers of clouds with a sword spreading the heaven and earth. Some are of an emperor in Gongpao holding a tantalized snake and sitting on a black turtle, shouting in front and behind. There were two figures fighting in the void, and stars like the sun fell one after another around them.
They are all paintings of images without any real meaning. The paintings here may be about the life of Emperor Zhenwu.
The four people ignored these scrolls for the time being. They seized the moment and cast their eyes on the black coffin surrounded by dragons.
It is ordinary, slightly lifeless, and normal, but in the tomb of Emperor Zhenwu, it appears abnormal against the backdrop of other extraordinary things.
"There are words on it." Meng Qi had a very sharp eye and noticed two lines of seal characters on the coffin lid.
Jiang Zhiwei tried hard to identify: "Cut away any evil thoughts and die..."
The more she read, the softer her voice became, as if she was afraid of disturbing the evil spirits: "I will be buried here for the rest of my life."
"Death for evil thoughts, a lifetime..." Meng Qi was shocked when he heard the words, chewing these words over and over again.
"Could it be that the 'evil ghost' was the evil thought of Emperor Zhenwu, but why is it not dead yet?" Jiang Zhi slightly frowned, expressing confusion. Even Emperor Zhenwu could not escape the fate of his death, and he used it as a substitute for death. Why can evil thoughts survive until now?
Everyone looked at each other in confusion, really unable to understand the mystery, so they had no choice but to turn to look at the coffin.
"Is the body of Emperor Zhenwu inside?" Qi Zhengyan's face, which seemed to be paralyzed, changed slightly, showing a rare hint of excitement.
Meng Qi looked intently: "It should be so, maybe the clue lies in his lifetime..."
"Could it be that Emperor Zhenwu has reincarnated? But that is considered a fall. If we find his life, we should have completed our mission... The answer to the mystery of Emperor Zhenwu's fall is that he has re-entered reincarnation..." There is a precedent for Ananda. Before, it was not difficult for Jiang Zhiwei to guess this, and she became more and more confused.
After a long pause, she and Meng Qi both said at the same time:
"Why don't you push it aside and take a look?"
Ruan Yushu looked at the guqin and was noncommittal about their suggestions. Qi Zhengyan looked at the sky and sighed. This was indeed their style of doing things.
Anyway, they were able to interrupt their return, and the two of them did not object.
Meng Qi crossed a bronze dragon spirit and walked to the front of the coffin with Jiang Zhiwei at the same time.
This coffin looked ordinary, but it was isolated from all spiritual prying eyes. Meng Qi was completely unable to sense the situation inside, as if he was facing a deep and heavy cliff.
The two looked at each other, Jiang Zhiwei raised his sword to gain momentum, Meng Qi held the green lantern with his left hand, fearing that the corpse would transform, he stretched out the Heaven's Wound, stabbed the gap under the coffin lid, and struck hard.
Do not move……
It's so heavy! Meng Qi took a deep breath, his true energy reached its peak, and all his strength burst out.
There was a harsh friction sound, and the lid finally moved. Meng Qi blushed and exhausted all his strength.
The wound of the sky was bent, as if it was about to break, and the lid partially moved back, allowing the two to see the scene inside.
The base is red, empty, intact, without the life-long body of Emperor Zhenwu!
"This..." The two of them were shocked at the same time. They had clearly said that they would be buried here for the rest of their lives, but no changes occurred, and the current emptiness surprised them!
Where did my whole life go?
Could it be combined with evil thoughts?
"That's not right." Qi Zhengyan and Ruan Yushu leaned over, stared at each other, and muttered to themselves.
Jiang Zhiwei immediately realized: "It is indeed wrong. If there is a real body here, the breath will escape after death, leaving indelible traces inside the coffin, but there will be nothing inside, intact."
"In other words, Emperor Zhenwu built the mausoleum and was about to sit here and bury his body for the rest of his life. He suddenly floated away without even entering the coffin. Therefore, his evil thoughts did not replace his death?" Meng Qi frowned and asked, "No wonder the Thunder God's mind Agitated, the breath leaked out!”
No wonder it’s called Zhenwu Yinzhong...
Meng Qi suddenly saw the mark of a small piece of something pressing down on the bottom of the coffin, so he said solemnly: "Emperor Zhenwu once put something in it. I wonder if it was taken away when he left, or was obtained by someone else?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a gust of wind blew by, and the tomb door closed with a bang!
At the same time, the cold voice of the Lord of Six Paths of Reincarnation sounded in their ears:
"The second step in the mystery of Zhenwu's fall: Find the Xuanwu Pendant."
It’s late. Please vote for me. I’ll start adding more updates tomorrow
