Chapter 59: Another Universe
After the Fourth Master finished worshiping, he said, "Senior, offended me", and then touched the ancient corpse again, sighed, and shook his head silently.
"Did Mingtu be buried here like this after his death? Did the ancient times be buried in the soil and the coffin cover the body?" Linglong said.
The scholar continued, saying, "This is good, at least the burial of accompaniment is very rich, so many treasures!"
This time we came here mainly to find the ultimate clues, the ancient silk book that records the ultimate route. But there was no valuable clue on Mingtu. He touched the hole in the wall inch by inch, but he did not find anything.
While everyone was gathering together and talking, a messy footsteps suddenly came from the elevator entrance, and A Tu appeared there with a few ghost clan subordinates. However, these people were very embarrassed, all of them were covered in dust and their clothes were broken. A Tu was covered in black, green, and red stains, which seemed even more rustic. The Fourth Master took a step and stood in front of us. Brother Shunli also held the dagger in his hand, blocking Linglong behind him. Everyone stared at A Tu and the others with alert.
A Tu curled his lips, smiled miserably, and said, "Don't be nervous, now is not the time to fight. Originally, our ghost clan and you were not together, but now we must join forces, otherwise no one will think of going out."
"Hmph, what tricks do you want to play? Last time I was hit by your trick, I almost asked our brothers to explain. What poison should I use this time?" said the scholar. Mr. Cao was also staring at A Tu with great vigilance. After all, when they were on the second floor of the stone tower, their eldest lady Linglong had a fight in A Tu's hands.
"Second Master Long, if you want to go out this time, you can only join forces. Otherwise, everyone will die here. Maybe you don't know the status quo, should you listen to me?" A Tu looked around us, then sat on the ground casually, untied his clothes and said.
Several of our headlights were concentrated on him. I saw several bloody wounds on A Tu, who was like a high school student, still oozing out blood. A Tu took out a small bottle of things from his clothes, applied the medicine powder to the wound, and then said to himself: "The cooperation between the two families is about sincerity. I will first show some sincerity and tell the secret here."
"Second Master Long, you must think that I came here by following you. Haha, to be honest, with the strength of our ghost clan, this information is not achieved by following it. Don't forget that the High Priest Mingtu was a member of the Holy Dragon Gate, and the Ghost Bo was also from the Holy Dragon Sect."
"Don't mess with those useless things, pick up important things. The family has no time to listen to you talking nonsense." The scholar said.
A Tu still smiled and said, "Did you find an ancient corpse on this floor? Do you think it was Mingtu? Haha, if I told you that it was not Mingtu at all, would you be surprised or even suspicious?"
"But there is a Holy Dragon Gate man's ancient jade pendant chain on the neck of this ancient corpse." Lao Xu said.
"If you have a pendant chain, you can tell that you are a Holy Dragon Gate? What if you hang the broken chain around my neck? To be honest, this ancient corpse is not a whisper, but a whisper!" A Tu said.
"What?! How is this possible?" Almost everyone here said this sentence together, except for the Fourth Master. From beginning to end, the Fourth Master was looking at A Tu silently, like a statue.
"Hahaha, I knew you would be surprised. However, this ancient corpse is really a scattered corpse, and the scattered corpse is painted on the three layers of the scattered soul jade bed. It seems that you didn't do enough homework before you came here, so let me teach you a lesson." A Tu applied medicine to his wound, put on his clothes, and started "teaching"...
It turned out that the ghost clan was also constantly pursuing the ultimate secret. After obtaining the Zimuluan, he naturally saw the words on the inner wall. Then, like us, he began to mobilize his power to find the ancient silk book. It was just that by chance that we found the first volume of the silk book that records the ultimate secret in the coffin of the old man Longfengdu, while the ghost clan was trying his best to find the second volume of the silk book that records the ultimate path. The clue also pointed to this place - the ancient tribe of the Chiyan. By chance, the ghost clan came to this ancient tower like us. There were many mechanisms and was extremely strange, and A Tu and the others also lost most of it. However, according to A Tu, there were many secrets hidden in this stone tower.
Back then, the last king of the Keyan tribe, named Huo, wanted to weaken the power of the high priest with a jade ring that is said to be able to understand the gods, but encountered the outstanding Mingtu. The two forces fought against each other, and neither could completely gain the upper hand. Later, Huo entered his twilight years and felt that he had not had much time, he began to build this stone tower and set up many mechanism traps in it. Although the ghost clan did not know what the stone tower was used for, A Tu insisted that it was not the tomb of Huo. He gave an irrefutable reason - the ruins of the Keyan tribe were surrounded by mountains, and the ancient tower was chosen among these mountains, with extremely poor feng shui and it was impossible to be the tomb of Huoyan king.
Lao Xu suddenly interrupted A Tu and said, "Did you even look at the Feng Shui here?"
A Tu glanced at Lao Xu contemptuously and said, "Hmph, when I just found the site of Chiyan, I began to pay attention to the surrounding terrain and Feng Shui. The classics say that the land has four forces, and the energy comes from all directions. Therefore, the burial is the Qinglong on the left, the White Tiger on the right, the Vermillion Bird in front, and the Xuanwu behind. The Xuanwu bows his head, the Vermillion Bird flies and dances, the Qinglong winds, and the White Tiger tames the thorns. The situation is contrary to this, and the law should be broken.'. I have seen this stone tower. The two mountains are in front and behind, and the left and right sides are higher than the mountain. The bow and arrow are raised towards the mountain in the distance. It can be said that the Xuanwu raised his head and tilted away, the Qinglong lies in the plate and lies in a domineering position, and the White Tiger holds a corpse and looks fiercely. People cannot be buried here at all."
"What you are talking about are all Feng Shui knowledge mentioned in the "Burial Sutra" written by Guo Pu. However, in the era of the Keyan tribe, there were no such classics at all. Perhaps there was no Feng Shui at that time. Just based on these mountains, it is concluded that this stone tower was not a tomb, which is a bit arbitrary." Lao Xu said.
"The Feng Shui theory has been around since ancient times. Even if there was no "Burning Sutra" at that time, it would not have been built in such a dangerous place. What's more, the one who really "burned" here is not the burial, but the high priest Mingtu!" Although A Tu's voice was not loud, these words really shocked all of us.
Is it true that the "person" on the soul jade bed we encountered on the third floor of the stone tower is the real Mingtu?
A Tu continued, "My dear brother told you responsibly that Mingtu was not dead at all, or he was not dead. Now he is a living dead man, just on the third-layer soul jade bed. However, Mingtu is very powerful and is half-dead, unable to penetrate swords and guns, and is not invaded by all means. I also suffered a great loss. However, if you want to leave this stone tower, you must pass Mingtu's level."
"Hmph, when we were on the second floor of the stone tower, you took advantage of our hypnosis and plotted against me, and put me in the coffin. I haven't finished the calculation with you yet." Linglong said viciously.
A Tu said: "Haha, the Cao family is really worse than the other. Your old man was a figure back then. When he came to you, he was really getting more and more useless. It would be easy to kill you. I didn't want your life at that time, but I just wanted to disguise myself as you and see how Master Long found the ancient silk book. I didn't expect... Cough cough, speaking of it, Master Long has such a good vision and good skills!"
Before A Tu finished speaking, Linglong's slender hand moved, and a flying shadow shot straight into his head. The movement was too fast and too ruthless, we didn't see clearly at all. But the faster and more accurate one was A Tu. To be honest, I didn't see any movement at all. I only heard a "" sound, and a dagger was bounced onto the stone wall and then fell to the ground. Although the light in the room was not very good, I could imagine that Linglong's angry face must be ugly. Guy Cao also had a sound of a bolt pulling, waiting for their eldest lady to give the order.
"Hehe, this little brother is really good at it. Unfortunately, his emotional intelligence is too low and his words are really unpleasant." Linglong said gritting his teeth.
"This is how women are. They always make conclusions easily based on their appearance. You will not suffer any loss by calling me uncle. You will know when you go back and ask your old man." A Tu said with a smile.
"Forget it, Linglong. This Atu is the eldest disciple of Gui Bo. In terms of age and seniority, it is indeed your father's generation. But he is practicing evil martial arts, so he always looks like a young man." The Fourth Master whispered.
"Believe it or not, I have already said what I should say. If you want to go out alive, you must join forces with us." Atu looked around and said.
We don’t know if what A Tu said is true. If this kid arranged a story to fool us, he would definitely be hit by his trick. Do you believe what A Tu said?
"I believe him." The Fourth Master said only one sentence, but it represented the highest action instructions. "The situation is indeed very dangerous now. We can only believe him once. Maybe we can find clues to the ancient silk book, and we can work together to open the passage to go out."
"Since we have said it, I believe you, let's join forces to open the passage. But I would like to remind you, don't play tricks with us, otherwise I will kill you with one shot!" Ashun stared at Atu and said.
A Tuli ignored Ashun and said to the Fourth Master: "Second Master Long, the space of this upgrade ladder is narrow. Let's go down separately and gather at the third floor. Then I will take you to the secret passage leading to the exit. I think you should also know that it is necessary to be quieter on the third floor. I don't want to join forces with a few hedgehogs."
We packed our luggage and went down to the third floor with Atu and the others in batches. I saw the Soul Jade Bed, but the bed was empty and there was still no "person". I wonder if he was the high priest Mingtu, as Atu said.
A Tu waved to us and made a follow-up move. Everyone still quietly entered the soul cloud bed as before. A Tu moved his finger and a Vajra nail shot out, nailed it to the stone wall next to the elevator. So the mechanism activated again, and thousands of arrows were fired at once, and the hidden stone wall above his head fell down again, isolating us from this half. It seems that A Tu also understands the function of this mechanism.
