When the lamp of the Burial Hill was turned off, the imperial monks led by Chao Dongliu suffered heavy losses, which directly led to Chao Dongliu retreating from the court. After many years, this mysterious place was suddenly raised, and Emperor Shen also wanted to explore the Burial Hill again!
Chen Zhining pondered, not in a hurry to express his opinions.
Chao Dongliu looked a little moved, obviously he was still unwilling to that place. If he explored the Burial Hill again, he would have the opportunity to make up for his mistakes.
Chen Zhining secretly observed and found that not only Chaodongliu, but Song Zhiye was the same. It seemed that that place had become an obsession in the hearts of Chaodongliu and Song Zhiye.
Emperor Shen looked at everyone and continued, "I didn't blame Chaoqing for the previous exploration... I had an accident. I didn't blame Chaoqing. I asked you to take the blame at that time, which was unfair. And this time, Burial Qiu was in a strange move. I think my dear should want this second chance."
Chao Dongliu thought it seriously and asked, "What are the abnormal movements in the Burial Hill?"
"The official responsible for guarding the Burial Hill reported that seven days ago, the seven-star eyes of the Burial Hill opened and a group of dark bats flew out from it. But you don't have to worry. The number is not large. They chased hundreds of miles and had all been killed, and they did not cause any damage."
Chao Dongliu and Song Zhiye, two people who had experienced the last exploration of the Burial Hill, were surprised: "The seven-star eyes opened automatically? And the dark bat actually flew out by itself?!"
"Yes." Emperor Shen nodded: "If the two beloved ministers are willing to go, go back and prepare." He spread his hands helplessly and said: "The court cannot draw many people now, so this time the head of the beloved ministers recruits a lot of manpower. Finally, the harvest in the burial hills will be distributed according to their respective contributions. I will only get 30% more than you."
In other words, the emperor will get 30% of the benefits for free, and you will distribute the remaining 70% of the benefits.
Compared with the past, as long as the court came forward, the emperor would take at least 70% of it. Jin Boyan, Ying Gongwei and others also nodded secretly, feeling that there was great potential for things.
"Thank you for your trust." Chao Dongliu immediately made a decision: "Since that's the case, the old minister will go and prepare."
Emperor Shen nodded: "Okay, I'm waiting for the good news! The Tianshan front is at a critical moment. If my dear friends can find the treasure that greatly increases my strength in the burial hill, they will be the great heroes of our dynasty!"
Everyone bowed and left.
After leaving the imperial city, everyone gathered at Chaodongliu's home to discuss.
Chao Dongliu looked at Chen Zhining, with a little sad face on his face and said to Song Zhiye: "You tell him about what happened back then first."
Chen Zhining has heard them talk about the "burial of the hill and lamp extinguishing" incident many times, but he really knows nothing about the incident and the inside story.
Song Zhiye nodded and said, "The Burial Hill is located in the ancient Yanshan Mountain in the northwest of Taiyan. The deadly places around the ancient Yanshan Mountain. Taihu Lianqiu and Mimeng Daze are the most famous wilderness in Taiyan territory. Fierce birds cover the sky and the sun, the ferocious beasts are powerful, and the ninth level stand together like a forest.
The Ancient River of Rage, flowing from the My Dream Lake, is also one of the most famous evil rivers. It goes from north to south and finally injects into the Killing Realm of the Nether Sea.
The giant beasts in the river are huge, and there are often giant beasts in the Nether Sea to go upstream and lay eggs in the Ancient River of Rage.”
Chen Zhining nodded. Around the ancient Yanshan Mountain was the most famous desperate situation in the Taiyan Dynasty. He had heard of it for a long time, but he didn't expect that the Burial Hill was in such a dangerous place.
"Aunt Flame Mountain is naturally extremely dangerous in these dangerous wilderness encirclements. Almost all the ancient Flame Mountain is divided by ninth ranks, and every piece of land is a ninth rank territory.
Even deep in the Ancient Flame Mountain, there are many super ninth-level areas, and those super ninth-level territories are the most core area of ​​the Ancient Flame Mountain. The space structure is complex and not the heavenly realm. Once you enter it, you don’t need to take action at all, and you will be lost in it.”
He took a sip of tea and continued: "The Burial Hill is a special area, which may be an ancient tomb group, an ancient ruin buried under a huge hill, or a ruin of immortals."
Chen Zhining was surprised, and Song Zhiye nodded: "That's right, actually from the beginning, we suspected that there was a building left by the immortals in this world a long time ago.
The surrounding restrictions are extremely high, and it is extremely difficult to enter. Moreover, after entering, there are dangerous things everywhere, mechanisms and formations everywhere, and every step is very difficult."
A look of pain appeared in his eyes, and he paused before saying, "But at the entrance there, half a huge stone tablet was buried, and a Taoist Scripture was engraved on it."
Chen Zhining looked moved and asked, "About the Taoist practice of reckless qi?"
It is no secret that the Mang Qi Taoist scripture may be buried in the Burial Hill. Behind the lantern extinguishing of the Burial Hill is the battle between Mang Qi and spiritual energy, which is the battle between academies and sects that have lasted for tens of thousands of years.
Chaodongliu finally retreated sadly, which was also the result of secretly forcing the sect power.
"No," Song Zhiye nodded. Although some of the people present were not from the academy department, they were also families and occupied important positions in the court. They were actually figures from the academy department. They also hoped to enhance the court's control over the world's cultivators.
Therefore, Song Zhiye said frankly: "After the 'Wandai Stone List' was unearthed, the mortal world realized that in addition to spiritual energy, there was also the existence of rampant energy. Cultivating rampant energy can also ascend to the immortal world.
However, in the past tens of thousands of years, all the various techniques practiced by the Bang Qi were derived from the ancient techniques on the Wanda Stone.
Although the level is very high, the types are single, so the real strength of the academy department is always weaker than that of the sect. If it weren’t for the support of major dynasties, the talents who had long been excluded by the sect have withered."
"And on the half of the stone tablet at the entrance of the Burial Hill is engraved with another Ruo Qidao script that is obviously no less than the Wandao stone. Unfortunately, there is only half of it, so it is impossible to practice at all.
However, this half of the stone tablet also indicates that there is a complete Taoist scripture for reckless cultivation in the Burial Hill. We were very excited and after making enough preparations, we decided to start exploring."
There was a hint of bitterness on his face: "At that time, led by the old master of Chao, there were three heavenly realms, twenty-one desperate realms, one ninth-level great formation master, three eighth-level great formation master, two eighth-level great alchemy master, and one eighth-level great weapon master, and ambitiously rushed to the Burial Hill.
Then, the great formation masters opened an entrance to the Burial Hill - one of the Seven Star Eyes. There are seven entrances in the Burial Hill, distributed in the shape of the Big Dipper.
After entering, we were indeed dangerous everywhere. Four people died on the spot in desperate situation, and one of them was slightly injured in the Heavenly Realm. We became more cautious. Finally, with everyone's efforts, we found that although there were dangers everywhere in the Burial Hill, there was a special "way of life".
On this road of life, there are soul lamps after soul lamps. As long as you keep finding the next soul lamp, lighting it up, and following the guidance of these soul lamps, you can safely explore forward.
After discovering this, we were very excited. As we went on, we found a strange Nine-Origin Demon Bone. We were extremely excited at the time because the thing was very mysterious. Although we didn’t know what it was for, it was obviously the remains of a great demon saint in ancient times.
But I never expected that I would continue to move forward, and suddenly all the soul lamps went out together... and then the entire team continued to lose in the various dangers that kept coming. The desperate cultivator, the powerful heavenly realm, the great formation master, the great alchemist, and the only ones who could escape were me and Lao Chao..."
Chen Zhining had only one thought in his mind: heavier losses!
This time, the main exploration was to Chaodongliu. There is no doubt that the main forces in this team were the people around Chaodongliu. After such a huge loss, no wonder he was defeated and left the court - he had no power to confront political enemies any longer.
Chao Dongliu sighed long and said, "You have learned about the general matter. The Burial Hill is extremely dangerous. The three heavenly realms fell into it back then, so if you don't want to join, I won't blame you."
Chen Zhining said without hesitation: "If the teacher wants to go, I will go."
Everyone looked at each other, and Jin Boyan took the lead and said, "My elders have been thinking about the incidents that year for so many years. I wonder if there are any new discoveries?"
Chao Dongliu nodded: "Yes, I was in a panic back then, and the incident happened too quickly, so I didn't have time to think about it. Later, I kept reflecting on it and I had already figured out some places."
He looked at everyone and said, "If I can still gather the power of the last exploration, I am 40% sure I can succeed. Even if I cannot fully explore the Burial Hill, I can at least bring out some precious Taoist scriptures."
Jin Boyan and others smiled and said, "It's worth the fight. And our strength this time is definitely stronger than the last time."
They pointed at Chen Zhining together.
Chen Zhining alone is already comparable to the strength of the entire team last time. Chao Dongliu laughed silently. He became a little dark under the light. He still regarded Chen Zhining as his student in his impression, but suddenly realized that he was strong enough to become his greatest reliance.
"Okay, please go back and try to recruit as much as possible." He pondered for a moment: "This time, it's more expensive than more. If there are fewer people, it's easier to move."
"Don't worry, sir, I understand." Everyone agreed and dispersed.
Chen Zhining stayed, and when everyone dispersed, Chao Dongliu looked solemn, and said to Chen Zhining: "The Emperor Yin can't help it. I'll transfer us all out of the capital. What do they want to do?"
Chen Zhining thought for a long time and felt that this was a trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain. I wonder if Emperor Shen didn't know or was involved in it.
If Emperor Shen had a share, he felt sad and didn't want to think about these things again.
"Teacher, how should we deal with it?"
Chapter completed!
