Chapter 14 Abridged Version
Yang Kang was not sleeping on the legendary cold jade bed, and he was not bothered by the cold air invading his body, but he still couldn't fall asleep because time was tight and he needed to take action as soon as possible.
There was a minor omission in his words, and that was that he came to Mount Zhongnan to worship with his parents. If Grandma Sun took him down the mountain tomorrow to look for his completely missing parents, the secret would be exposed.
Of course, Yang Kang could argue that he didn't know, maybe his parents left because they couldn't find him, but a couple looking for a child in a small town would always attract attention, and a little inquiry would tell.
Originally, Yang Kang could arrange the couple, but he only had Peng Lianhu available, and he didn't want Peng Lianhu to get too involved, so he gave up the arrangement.
Anyway, he doesn't plan to stay here for a long time. The longer he stays, the harder it will be to fool him. That maid and Granny Sun are not fools. They can think about this matter clearly as long as they are given time.
The reason why they chose to believe Yang Kang's words was that their memory of Lin Chaoying played a major role. They would rather believe it than have this hope dashed.
Time is also an important factor. Yang Kang's sudden appearance gave them a huge psychological shock. It is difficult to think normally when they are emotionally excited. Emotions are greater than reason, thus giving Yang Kang an opportunity.
What Yang Kang needs is this time difference.
This time difference is only about one to two days. If he can't find the scripture after this time, he will have no choice but to prepare to run away.
Although it was winter and it was still snowing outside, it didn't feel cold inside the ancient tomb. Yang Kang, who couldn't sleep, decided to do a small experiment first.
He got up from the bed and walked forward in the dark, acting as if he was sleepwalking. He guessed that the maid and Grandma Sun would not be able to sleep tonight either, and might be watching him in the dark.
Yang Kang groped forward and turned around when he hit a wall. Anyway, he was just walking around like a headless fly. This was a more risky thing. There were many traps in the ancient tomb.
There is a risk of death.
He believed that the people who were observing him secretly would not let this happen and would come to the rescue when in danger.
"Miss, where are you going?" After Yang Kang touched the stone wall countless times, a voice finally sounded in the darkness, and it was Grandma Sun who couldn't stand it.
"I don't know either. I just feel that there is an important place to go to and someone is waiting for me there." Yang Kang said confusedly, "I dreamed that there were several stone coffins there. They must be somewhere here, but I
I just can’t find it.”
These words sounded a little creepy in the darkness, and both the maid and Granny Sun couldn't help feeling a little chilly. There were five sarcophagi in that stone room, one of which contained Lin Chaoying's bones.
Could it be that the lady was calling the little girl in the sarcophagus?
Even martial arts masters can't help but be suspicious when they encounter this kind of ghosts and gods. They used to follow Lin Chaoying all over the country and had a wide range of knowledge. They heard about zombies in western Hunan, and there were also weird stories such as borrowing corpses to resurrect the soul. Now they encountered it in person, or in their own home.
The young lady didn’t know what to do for a moment.
The two discussed for a while, then carried the candlestick and led Yang Kang into the stone room.
Yang Kang saw five sarcophagi placed side by side in the stone chamber. Only the lid of one sarcophagus was tightly closed, and the lids of the other four sarcophagi were only half pushed up. He knew that what was stored in that tightly closed sarcophagus was Lin Chaoying's.
Bones.
He pretended to be inspired and walked straight towards the sarcophagus. When he came to the sarcophagus, he touched it gently with his hands, making a nostalgic look, but he kept praying in his heart, hoping that Lin Chaoying's spirit would be in heaven.
Don't trouble him.
Seeing this scene, the maid and Granny Sun were really frightened. They stared at the sarcophagus nervously, as if the young lady who had been dead for many years would suddenly pop out of the sarcophagus.
The reactions of believing in ghosts and gods and seeing ghosts and gods with your own eyes are completely different. The former will gain psychological comfort, while the latter may be frightened and pass out.
"I want to stay here alone for a while." Yang Kang said in an unquestionable tone.
"This..." Grandma Sun said hesitantly.
She and the maid looked at each other, left the candlestick, turned around and exited the stone room, but they did not stay away, but listened outside to hear what was going on inside.
This thing is really weird and beyond their understanding.
Yang Kang waited until they left and did not act rashly. Instead, he continued to sit in front of Lin Chaoying's sarcophagus, recalling which sarcophagus contained clues about the scriptures.
Before Xiao Longnu and Yang Guo discovered the scripture, three people had died in the ancient tomb, which meant that the first three sarcophagi contained bones, and the clues were hidden in the fourth sarcophagus.
He took the candlestick and came to the outside of the fourth sarcophagus. He looked inside and saw that there was indeed a line of large characters on the inside of the sarcophagus lid.
"The Jade [Women's Heart] Sutra, the skills are superior to those of Quan Zhen. During the Chongyang Festival, you will not be weaker than others in your lifetime."
Yang Kang felt excited, he realized that right here, there was a secret room under the sarcophagus, and in the secret room was engraved the "Nine Yin Manual", the ultimate martial art.
He first calmed down his mind and prevented himself from screaming, then placed the candlestick on the sarcophagus, then used his Quanzhen internal energy, jumped lightly, and landed in the sarcophagus. He then took off the candlestick and placed it inside the sarcophagus.
The sarcophagus was very large. Yang Kang raised his head and read the small characters engraved on the lid of the sarcophagus by candlelight.
Wang Chongyang wrote in a very lengthy manner, not only describing his past with Lin Chaoying, but also boasting about the martial arts of the Quanzhen Sect, and finally pointed out that there was a more profound martial arts in the secret room under this stone chamber.
Yang Kang groped inside the sarcophagus and soon found a groove at the bottom of the sarcophagus. There was a handle in the groove that could be pulled by hand. He tried turning it left and right and then lifting it up. Sure enough, a passage appeared, and a smell of moldy gas hit his face.
It almost made him sneeze.
He quickly pinched his nose to relieve his anger so that no one outside would notice anything strange.
After waiting for a while, he felt that the smell was no longer so pungent. He went down the stone steps, passed through the long corridor, and after turning a corner, he saw a stone room.
Yang Kang raised his head and looked at the top of the stone chamber, which was covered with dense writings and symbols. On the far right were engraved four large characters "Nine Yin Manual".
In an instant, a full sense of happiness filled his body. After making so many preparations, he finally saw this legendary martial arts secret book.
He didn't have much time, so he had to memorize these words and symbols as soon as possible. So many words had to be memorized by rote, which required a strong memory. Fortunately, Yang Kang was good at this.
Behind Yang Kang's back, he discovered something strange. What Wang Chongyang had engraved here was not the entire Nine Yin Manual, but only a few martial arts. Not only was there little mention of the inner strength and mental methods in the first volume, but there was also no such thing.
General outline of Sanskrit.
What is this concept?
The general outline plays the role of an outline and is the essence of the "Nine Yin Manual". The upper-level internal skills and mental methods are the basis of the manual. These are the top priorities, but Wang Chongyang only engraved a few types that can be used to decipher Lin Chaoying.
The unique skills of martial arts, such as acupuncture points and soul-moving techniques.
Don't be so irresponsible, okay? The abridged version will kill people.
