Chapter 1 The Graveyard
An old friend bid farewell to the Yellow Crane Tower and fireworks in Yangzhou in March. This poem by the great poet Li Bai of the Tang Dynasty expresses the beauty of Yangzhou's spring.
March fireworks are the most beautiful time in Yangzhou. On the wide road, I saw young men wearing furious horses, roaring away in groups of three or five. Pedestrians on the roadside walked sideways and hid beside each other, bent, and laughing freely on the horse's back was filled with the spring breeze, and there was a smell brewing in it.
The sun sets westward, and pedestrians are becoming increasingly rare. The most hardworking farmers have completed their work for a day and returned home. The distant mountains have swallowed the last ray of light of the sun, and the dim and dimness cover the earth. Yangzhou, with its pride of spring, gradually exudes haze.
The fog slowly rose. More than ten miles away from Yangzhou City, there was a bare graveyard with stone tombstones standing on the graveyard. Even when the sun rises at the sky, it was gloomy. What's more, the breeze blew at dusk, adding a hint of gloom. The timid people are afraid of being scared to get sick at this time.
The endless chivalrous chirping in the distance and the roars of unknown beasts added a layer of silence, silent, and silent.
A blue light suddenly appeared on the west side of the grave, suddenly tightened, and the blue light went from far to near. A tall figure in the blue light slowly walked up to the grave with a strange lantern. His body was dirty and his hair was tied up randomly. In the blue light, there was a gully all over his face, at least seventy or eighty years old, but his feet were very steady, and the rugged mountain road was walking very smoothly. Under the blue light, his face covered with gully, his eyes suddenly opened, and a splendid light flashed in his eyes.
I slowly walked up, sometimes far and sometimes near, along the way up the mountain, slowly walked to the center of the treasury treasury, and stopped in front of a grave. The grave was very big, seven or eight feet in a circle, round like a bun, without even a tombstone. On the treasury, there were countless such treasurys, and I don’t know how many people died of life and were buried here, without even a tombstone.
The old Taoist priest stopped here, motionless. In the slowly falling night, like a statue, only the blue lantern in his hand swaying in the wind.
I don’t know how long it took, but the moon slowly rose, and a faint mist enveloped the graves. The blue lanterns were extinguished at some point. On the black mountain, there was only one person and one grave, standing quietly.
In the sky, dense stars appeared. The moon shyly hid in the clouds. In the distance, it was shrouded in the faint starlight, adding a layer of green air. Suddenly, a white light flashed, from far to near, as fast as lightning. In a short while, when I arrived at the grave, it turned out to be a huge sword light. The sword light was gorgeous and ostentatious, and it seemed that I saw the old Taoist. With a slight sway, there was a strong man next to the old Taoist.
What a man, about forty years, with a pair of glaring eyes, his beards thrust out, and Zhang Fei was so scary that he was lit up. The most terrifying thing was that a sharp light shot out from the man's body, as if it was a sword unsheathed. The sword energy was everywhere, and everything around him was centered on him and dispersed everywhere.
The old Taoist suddenly turned around and looked at the strong man deeply. The strong man felt a stern in his heart and did not speak. He stood beside the old Taoist, and his sharp aura was captured without a trace in an instant. The strong man couldn't understand it. Like the old Taoist, he turned into a sculpture and stood on the grave. The statue on the grave changed from one to two.
After a long time, a faint sound came from the distant horizon, as if Nina was hugging her soft fragrance in the garden. When she listened carefully, she couldn't help but blush and wanted to enter that moving situation. The ink-colored sky, six peach blossoms were blown by the wind, floating, sometimes far and sometimes approaching, slowly coming up the mountain.
The strong man standing behind the old Taoist turned his eyes and cursed with a smile: "The dead witch is pretending to be a ghost again. The boss has arrived, why don't you come here soon!"
The sound roared, but it was not emitted. The pink light flashed away. A beautiful woman in exposed clothes had a graceful figure and was full of charming light. She looked like a disaster to the country and the people. She rushed to the grave and said, "Boss, little sister is here!"
The old Taoist nodded slightly. He raised his head and could no longer see a trace of old age. The divine light flowed in his eyes. He looked back at the strong man and the beautiful woman. The two of them felt a stern, put away their thoughts, and stood respectfully.
"It's been 20 years. I've been waiting for today for 20 years. Are you all ready?"
"Boss, you're ready!" The strong man made a random move, and sword lights flew out from his body, gathering into thousands of light spots. A huge and complex array was arranged on the graveyard. In the sight of mortals, the graveyard seemed to suddenly become blurred.
"Haha, my second brother is always so violent, I'll make up for it!" As soon as the woman finished speaking, countless fragrance breezes wafted, and the petals gradually fell. The graveyard once again appeared in the world's vision, as usual, gloomy and terrifying. However, the three figures on the grave disappeared without a trace.
Any monk who has just changed will definitely exclaim if he passes by the changes, the Ten Thousand Swords Shadow Shadow Array and the Ten Thousand Flowers Mistake Array are among the three evil spirits in the North Sea, the two evil spirits, the Deadly Soul Chasing Sword and the Three evil spirits, the Peach Blossom Woman. The Three evil spirits have a strong cultivation and are skilled in hiding. They have been circulating in the world for hundreds of years, but they still have no reputation. Why do they come to this ordinary chasm?
**********
The night was getting deeper and deeper. At the center of the protection of the two formations, the huge tomb had turned into a big hole. The method of cultivation was so exquisite. Not to mention ordinary tombs, even made of fine steel, it could not stop the footsteps of the three evil spirits. They had already gone underground.
Three or five meters ahead of the tomb, where San Yao stood before, the ground shaking, and an arm suddenly emerged from the soil.
It was late at night and people were in a chasing grave again. If such an arm that appeared suddenly, even if someone was bold, would be scared to death. Could it be that the one who came out of the soil was a zombie?
The owner of the hand was very versatile. His hands were in the soil, as if he had entered a state of no one. Soon, he looked fourteen or fifteen years old, and he had emerged from the soil, with mud all over his body, with only a pair of smart big eyes, flashing with a cunning light.
"The breathing talisman and the breathing talisman have worked. I have deceived the three great masters of the Infant Condensation Realm. I am not reborn. How dare I be so bold!" The young man said to himself, but his hands and feet were not stopped, and he bent his body and entered the cemetery.
"Tomb of Emperor Donghua! Who would have thought that there would be such a tomb of such a big man hidden on a chasing grave in the west of Yangzhou City? Tell me, the cultivation world of the four realms of Jiuzhou may cause endless troubles. It's really a blessing for the old Taoist Miejue to find clues from an ancient book. It took 20 years to prepare and find the location. I'm really patient!"
The boy seemed to have been holding his breath for a long time, or was nervous, and kept talking to himself, saying that his hands and feet were changing. Soon, he followed the path opened by the three evil spirits and arrived at a magnificent gate. Of course, the door was opened. Obviously, the three people had been in for a long time.
Because underground, most of the gate was blocked by loess, it was seen that it was gorgeous, with all kinds of gems, gold, silver and jewelry, almost everything. The night pearls the size of the head and the emeralds the size of the fist were casually embedded on it. While it was gorgeous, it had a little nouveau riche's rustic atmosphere.
The door in front of you is probably used to build a palace. Gold and silver are supreme temptations for mortals, but for monks, they are unnecessary things. Unless you want to develop some power in the mundane world, they will be like sand.
The boy's purpose was the gate. Of course, he was not for jewelry. Although he was not dirt, he moved any point under the nose of San Yao. He was afraid that he would have the life to take it and have no life to flower. He looked left and right and groped down the door, touched the left and right, and showed a puzzled expression on his face: "No, it should be here, Zhou Liang, don't be afraid, they will definitely not be able to get out after entering the tomb of Emperor Donghua in less than two hours!"
With his hands constantly, Zhou Liang felt a little anxious. There were not any kind men and women inside. They were the famous Three Evils in the North Sea. There were countless monks who died at their hands. As for mortals, there were countless. The formations of the two Evils and the three Evils were all refined with the souls of mortals. The number of mortals who died in them was probably less than ten thousand. Once discovered, death was light and they might never be reborn.
Zhou Liang took the risk here and took such a great risk. The reason is that that thing is too important and related to his future height. He has a high hope of success, so he came here, but now, he can't find it in a hurry.
A trace of anxiety appeared on the young face, but his hands and feet were not slow. As he touched, his right hand went down the door and finally encountered a slightly lower place. His eyebrows raised and he pressed hard. With a light sound, a cave appeared silently in front of the door. When he went down, he snatched it. The cave was not big, and there was a thin piece of silk. I don’t know what material it made of, but it looked very ordinary, but the tentacles were extremely flexible and pulled. The thin silk was wrapped in a mutton fat jade bottle.
"Finally found it!" Zhou Liang cheered, reached out and put the two objects in his arms, turned his head and ran away. Behind him, silently, the cave was restored to its original state, as if no one had ever been there.
After returning from the same road, he didn't bother to see what he had found, so he dug a hole and buried himself. A golden talisman was ignited, and the surrounding spiritual energy was overflowing. On the flat ground, he returned to its original state, and there was no trace of it.
The graves returned to their former peace. The breeze blew through the clouds. The moon showed its face at some time, and it spread its light on the earth without hesitation.
Two hours later, San Yao left the cemetery with joy expression, and said excitedly: "Brother, I didn't expect that the old man Donghua actually left the Sun Three Yuan Sword here. The three of us formed a sword formation, and the world can go!"
"Yes, brother, and the Zixiao Tianyun Umbrella and the Huagai Five Agglomerations are all ancient treasures!" The peach blossom evil girl also said excitedly.
"Okay, the treasure has not been refined yet, so it is not suitable to stay here for a long time. Let's go!" The old Taoist waved his hand and the big tomb was restored to its original state. A common cemetery on a chasing trough, all the treasures inside were taken out. Who would have noticed it?
The Three Evils of the North Sea are considered to be the few masters in the universe. They have mysterious origins and strong strength. However, the treasures obtained from the tomb of Emperor Donghua still made them very excited. This time, the three of them gained a lot and were in a high mood. Without checking whether there were anyone around them, the Two Evils and the Three Evils directly retreated the formation, controlled the sword light together, and fled north. The cultivator's methods flew in the air. In the blink of an eye, they disappeared into the night sky, leaving no trace, leaving the huge grave, standing in the night sky for a long time.
