Chapter 18 Ancient Tomb Stone Room
Yue Fangxing and Linghu Chong protected themselves and walked forward carefully. After a while, the two found that the water flowed deeper and deeper, from their legs to their abdomen, gradually leveling with their chests. They were about to dive forward, and they had to stop.
Yue Fangxing said: "Senior Brother, I don't know how long the waterway is, so I'll go and tent first!"
Linghu Chong knew that although he was a little watery, he was not even a little worse than his junior brother who often practiced swords in the water. Moreover, his internal strength was not high and he could not hold his breath for too long. He had to nod and said, "Junior brother, be careful, the undercurrents underground are dark all year round, beware of evil things inside!"
Yue Fangxing said, "Don't worry, senior brother, I still know this." After that, he held his breath and walked forward.
Although the water flow was an underground submerged stream, the momentum was still amazing and undercurrents were surging. Yue Fangxing was careful and it only took half an hour to emerge. At this time, water was poured into his mouth and nose. He couldn't help but feel it was a blessing that he really didn't know how the people in the ancient tomb came in and out. I think they felt it was inconvenient, so they gave up here!
This was a distorted point of Yue Fangxing. When Wang Chongyang built the underground warehouse of the stone cemetery next to a stream on the mountain, he introduced a small half of the stream into the tomb. The residents in the tomb used stream water for drinking and cooking. In addition, they were washed and cleaned and followed by this stream. This stream originated from a high mountain and flowed down. After using it in the tomb, they stopped for a while and the stream flowed down and became clear. If you want to enter and exit from this path, you must enter the underground submersible stream to reach the flat ground. After the stream flowed to the underground submersible stream, it will be together with other streams, and the water flow increased and the undercurrents became more and more intense. Over the years, the terrain has changed slightly, and the water flow has risen day by day, which has been so time-consuming. If it were troublesome in the past, it would not take so long.
After the water flowed out, Yue Fangxing continued to move forward, turning east and west along the secret road, moving higher and higher. After walking straight for nearly half an hour, he saw a stone door.
Yue Fangxing was overjoyed when he saw this. He thought that behind the stone gate was the stone chamber with the Nine Yin Scriptures at that moment. After working hard for more than ten days, he finally got the result.
However, it was getting late today, and it was probably not a temporary achievement to break the mechanism. Moreover, Linghu Chong didn't know how to worry outside! Therefore, Yue Fangxing retreated along the same path.
When he dived out, Yue Fangxing saw Linghu Chong still waiting for him in the water. He was very moved and said to Linghu Chong: "Senior brother, let's go out first! The groundwater here is cold." As he said that, he walked out with Linghu Chong.
When they got outside, there were already stars. The two men took off their wet clothes, took off their wet clothes, and used their internal strength to drive away the cold air in their bodies. Yue Fangxingfang told Linghu Chong the situation in the cave, and finally said: "I guess that's where the secret door of the ancient tomb is located. Tomorrow we will go to the foot of the mountain to buy a few candles and make a skin bag. Let's go in and take a look together."
Linghu Chong was also extremely excited when he heard this: "Junior brother, then you said we really want to find the relics of the Chongyang Real Person."
Yue Fangxing nodded and said, "That's natural, there is only a stone gate left. I think it's not as thick as the broken dragon stone in front of me. Even if I cut it with a sword, I have to split it."
The two of them worked hard for more than half a month, but they were sure of it until today. They were both extremely excited and couldn't sleep for a while, so they simply went down the mountain overnight to find an inn to sleep.
There was nothing wrong all night. The next morning, Yue Fangxing and Linghu Chong had a full meal, rushed to the market early, bought some cowhide, ropes, candles and other items, and found a tailor to make a big cowhide bag. Yue Fangxing also prepared some rubbing tools, saying that it was used to rubbing the text and images.
The two returned to the cave. They wrapped candles, flints and other items with oil paper before moving forward. Yue Fangxing was diving in front, and Linghu Chong followed behind. When he couldn't hold on, he sucked the air in the cowhide bag. Although he had a lot of water in his mouth and nose, it was safe to pass.
When he arrived in front of the stone gate, Yue Fangxing lit a candle and said to Linghu Chong: "I think there is a mechanism to open here, so let's look for it carefully."
Linghu Chong nodded, and the two of them fumbled into the mechanism together. Although they had only a little understanding of the mechanism technique, the place in front of the cave was only so large, which was much easier than when they found the entrance in Zhongnan Mountain. When they encountered an abnormality, they fumbled carefully and tried the opening method, which finally allowed them to open the stone door.
Yue Fangxing and Linghu Chong were both very happy. After working hard for more than half a month, they finally found this place. How could they not be extremely excited? There was another test now, and after confirming that it was not hindered, they carefully entered the stone chamber.
When they entered the stone chamber, the two looked along the candlelight and saw traces of rocks pressing down on one side of the stone chamber, and the steps below could be seen faintly. Seeing this, Yue Fangxing guessed that it was the person in the ancient tomb who had left to seal the passage to prevent someone from entering the ancient tomb. He was shocked and hurriedly looked up, afraid that the words on the stone chamber would also be scraped away. Unexpectedly, after seeing this, he suddenly lost his mind.
Linghu Chong felt a little depressed when he saw the blocked passage. Unexpectedly, he was blocked again when he arrived at this point. He was about to discuss with Yue Fangxing how to open it, but he saw Yue Fangxing looking up and couldn't help but look up.
Following Yue Fangxing's eyes, Linghu Chong saw several sword marks, but they looked like traces of blunt attacks from heavy weapons, and still went deep into the stone wall. He didn't understand why, so he continued to look right, but saw that the roof of the room was densely filled with handwriting and symbols, as if it was engraved a long time ago, and some had fallen off. He didn't understand why, and his eyes moved to the far right and couldn't help but recite: "Nine Yin True Sutra." It was a peerless book that was famous hundreds of years ago and known as the general principles of martial arts in the world. The most important purpose of Yue Fangxing's trip was.
Although Linghu Chong didn't know this, he suddenly realized that it was mysterious and sighed that this journey was not false. He had been practicing martial arts for more than ten years and was a famous young master in the world. He realized that his knowledge was quite broad. But now when he looked at it, he found many truths that he had never seen before. Even the master had never said it, and he was immediately addicted to it.
Linghu Chong looked at it for a while and couldn't help but sink into it. Various martial arts knowledge kept circling in his heart. Some martial arts difficulties that he didn't understand were solved one after another, but at the same time, there were more incomprehensible parts. Various thoughts came and his mind was in chaos. After a while, he felt a headache and the true energy in his body seemed to be running with various thoughts.
At this time, Linghu Chong felt a powerful aura emitted from the surrounding area. He was slightly awake and immediately discovered the condition in his body. In shock, he quickly concentrated his mind and calmed down his qi and blood. He knew that his skills were insufficient, and he had a slight understanding. He was trapped in a demonic obstacle and could not look at it. He looked back and saw Yue Fangxing still focusing on the traces on the stone wall. He had already used his skills and emitted a powerful aura. He knew that he was addicted to it and thought: It seems that I lacked skills. These skills are not something I can comprehend now. I should write them down and let the master explain them!" He began to memorize them.
Linghu Chong had a good memory. Even though the mystery of the Nine Yin Sutras was unpredictable, the handwriting was a bit scattered, but it was recorded in just three or four times. He was worried that there were omissions, so he recited them twice more, but he felt that there were no more omissions, so he felt relieved.
At this time, Linghu Chong's ears moved, and he felt that someone was drawing a sword around him. He was shocked. He hurriedly held the hilt of the sword in his hand, looked back, and felt relieved. He saw Yue Fangxing waved his long sword and used the Huashan sword technique upwards, as if he was fighting with someone or a defensive move, and his face was extremely tight.
Linghu Chong was confused and looked up again, and saw that there were still those sword marks. He was shocked. Unexpectedly, his junior brother felt such a great deal of pressure from those simple scratches. He really didn't know what he had learned. He looked at it intently and wanted to find the clue.
But seeing Yue Fangxing's sword technique slower and slower, as if there was some heavy pressure on the sword, it seemed that he could not swing the next moment, and the coherence between the moves was also extremely unsuccessful. Gradually, some basic sword methods such as picking, pricking, wiping, and cutting were more and more, while some moves only used half a move, but it felt more concise. With the turbulence of true energy, the momentum became more and more prosperous.
Linghu Chong felt this momentum and was shocked and ashamed. It was shocked that Yue Fangxing was so skilled that he was not as good as his junior brother as his senior brother. He worked hard for a while when Yue Fangxing surpassed him two years ago, but he didn't take it seriously after a while. After all, he was mentally prepared for this. Although he noticed that Yue Fangxing had improved his skills a while ago, he did not feel this intuitively. After all, they usually only competed and never fought with life and death, nor did they use all their strength. Now seeing Yue Fangxing experiencing his full body skills, Linghu Chong realized that his skills were so high that he almost caught up with his master's wife Ning Zhongze. It was just not as honest as her decades of cultivation. He was immediately ashamed of him. He thought that he had been practicing for longer than his junior brother, but he had lost so much. He secretly decided to work harder in the future.
While thinking about it, Linghu Chong heard a few collisions, but Yue Fangxing slowly reversed the decline and began to defend and attack. The stone chamber was already small, so some of it touched the stone wall. Yue Fangxing's heavy sword was originally used, and his moves were simple and powerful. When he touched the stone wall, scratches suddenly appeared. Some places were even broken by him because of their destruction.
Linghu Chong was shocked, afraid that Yue Fangxing would encounter the roof of the room. He just recorded the complete text of the roof. Some vague parts were not visible clearly now, but they could still be identified after careful exploration. If it was destroyed, it would be broken. Therefore, he didn't care about it and picked up the tools and rubbed them.
Seeing Yue Fangxing's swordsmanship situation, Linghu Chong knew that he was still on the defensive and was unlikely to hit the top of the room, but it would be hard to say after a while. Therefore, starting from the left side of Yue Fangxing, he was carefully printed. At the same time, he was nervous and afraid that Yue Fangxing would suddenly jump up and stab, and he thought to himself with hatred: You must ask your junior brother to pay a few jars of good wine.
After carefully printing the left side, Linghu Chong breathed a sigh of relief, but he was worried that something would happen again, so he kept rubbing the right side quickly. This time it went very smoothly, and nothing happened until the rubbing was finished. He had nothing to do and also rubbed a picture at the corner of the wall.
After sorting out what he got, Linghu Chong watched Yue Fangxing's sword technique again. However, he saw that Yue Fangxing's sword technique was simpler than what he had practiced just now. It was just a simple horizontal strike, vertical chop and other moves, and there was a slight sense of familiarity. Isn't it the sword technique of Shiding Sword Seal?
While thinking, Yue Fangxing suddenly raised his sword and stabbed straight to the top of the room.
Although this sword is simple, Linghu Chong recognized it as a move of Huashan sword technique newly compiled by his master in recent years, called "Purple Qi East" (i.e. "The Unparalleled, Ning's Sword" in the original book. Now it was discovered in a stone cave. Yue Buqun named it Zi Qi East). It is extremely powerful and can be said to be the essence of the Huashan School's sword with qi. Although he can do it, due to his lack of skills, the fire of this sword is still low and has never been used in actual combat. He did not expect Yue Fangxing to use it here. But seeing that this move is full of energy, it is obviously the essence.
But when the heavy sword stabbed towards the top of the room, the entire stone chamber suddenly burst out loud. The sword in the top of the room immediately spread out, and cracks appeared in other parts of the stone chamber, as if they were about to crack. However, this stone chamber was built hundreds of years ago and had no one to maintain it for many years, so it had been unstable. If you suffer such a powerful blow, you will collapse.
Seeing this, Linghu Chong was shocked, so he hurriedly pulled Yue Fangxing, who was still a little stunned to avoid the gravel, and ran out along the road when he came.
