Of course, the nearest building in front of you is not Gaoling itself, but a funerary mausoleum.
The Gaoling of Emperor Taizu Li Luoshu of the Tang Dynasty was the largest and most rigorous imperial mausoleum in the Immortal Tang Dynasty.
At that time, there were also 10,000 mausoleum guards with the cultivation level of the God of War (Martial God) stationed there for a long time.
During Li Sui's reign, he led his ministers to pay homage to Li Luoshu's Gaoling on many occasions in accordance with etiquette and against his will.
Gaoling is not only an imperial mausoleum, but also a city. Around the imperial mausoleum complex, a city was once formed: Gaoling City.
Today, Gaoling City has long been annihilated in the sea of sand. Only the tallest mausoleum building remains.
The yellow sand is rolling and the sea is boundless. A generation of peerless heroes from ancient times rest here.
Jiang Yao looked up at the huge tombs with a complicated expression.
After getting over Yang Xuanming's obsession, Jiang Yao recalled history and had to admit a fact.
Li Luoshu is a more powerful historical figure than Yang Xuanming!
As the Immortal Emperor, Yang Xuanming had huge power and resources, and the Sui Dynasty was still very powerful at that time.
However, Li Luoshu made a sudden comeback, replaced the Sui Dynasty, and established the Tang Dynasty, which had the longest reign and was the most powerful in the history of the immortal world.
Back then, Li Luoshu and Yang Xuanming were both disciples of Grand Master Jiang Wang when they were young. Jiang Wang was Jiang Yin's previous life.
In this way, the three of them can be regarded as masters and disciples for two generations.
This is the mystery of cause and effect.
Today, Li Luoshu's second life has long since fallen with the demise of the Immortal Tang Dynasty. His third life established the Post-Tang Dynasty in China and became the Tang Taozu.
In his third life, he also established the Ming Dynasty.
Looking at Gao Ling, Jiang Yao couldn't help but feel a little dazed. It seemed that history, present and future were intertwined, making time and space look like a dream.
It gives people an infinite and eerie feeling about the grand history.
Jiang Yao recovered his thoughts and then moved forward.
Li Luoshu is not Li Luo. He must enter the Gaoling of Emperor Taizu of the Tang Dynasty.
It was absolutely impossible to set foot in this place or break into it. However, the Tang Dynasty had been destroyed for a long time, the walls of Gaoling had long ago collapsed, and the strict formations that restricted the area had long since disappeared.
There are many accompanying tombs in Gaoling. Except for some important officials of Yuan Cong, the most special one is the Qingniu Tomb.
Li Luoshu's mount is a green bull. After Li Luoshu became emperor, he was granted the titles of King Zhengrong and General Qianniuwei, ranking above the Duke of the country.
It was the only monster that was crowned king in the Tang Dynasty.
After Jiang Yao entered Gaoling, the first thing he entered was the majestic King's Green Ox Tomb.
On the tombstone that was annihilated in the desert, you can still see the words "King Zhengrong".
As soon as he approached the entrance to the tomb, a blood-red shadow rushed towards him.
"Bang!" Jiang Yao raised his hand and fired, and the blood-red shadow was killed.
Almost at the same time, a black snake emerged from the desert, its tail turned into joints. Then, the surrounding sand surged, and piles of snakes all crawled out.
These desert monster snakes are all low-level monsters and are nothing outside. But in this forbidden desert, they are terrifying existences.
As native monsters, although they have low cultivation level, they can possess mana.
This is also a strange phenomenon in all forbidden magic lands. Only native creatures can have magic power. However, the strength of indigenous creatures is also limited, and the highest level is level three.
"rustle-"
"Chichi—"
Countless indigenous black snakes emerged, spitting out snake letters, and instantly formed a snake domain.
At this moment, the pistol is not easy to use at all.
But Jiang Yao was still not afraid.
A small gray snake crawled out of the ginger medicine sleeve.
As soon as this little gray snake appeared, all the indigenous black snakes stopped moving.
Although Ah Jiu has lost his magic power, his bloodline is sensed by these strange snakes.
"rustle-"
Large black snakes invariably burrowed into the sand and never came out again.
"You guys know each other." Jiang Yao touched Ah Jiu and said, "Ah Jiu, it's lucky to have you. Otherwise, I really wouldn't be able to deal with these weird snakes."
"Here is the tomb of a green bull, who was titled King Zhengrong and was the mount and pet of Emperor Taizu of the Tang Dynasty. Let's go in and have a look."
"What a pity." Ah Jiu murmured, "Although these strange snakes are of low level, they are actually very nourishing to me. But I have no magic power and cannot eat them."
"Forget it. Don't eat anything casually." Jiang Yao said with a smile, "It will insult your status."
"Hmph." Ah Jiu snorted coldly, "What status can I have? Xiaohei is a fifth-grade person, this Qingniu is even a king, but I am nothing."
"Haha!" Jiang Yao couldn't help laughing, "You are too important to me, I can't think of how to ban you."
"Yang Xuanming also had a nine-headed Yuan Hui back then, who was named Kui Tianjun. He also had a dog, which was named Mrs. Xiaoyue. How about I make you Princess Linghui?"
"How about it? I'll make you the princess, so I won't humiliate you."
"Then thank you master." Ah Jiu was very satisfied with this treatment.
With the title banned, that hateful black dog no longer dares to pose as the "first slave" in front of him.
Jiang Yao entered the tomb passage, and several more blood evil spirits rushed towards him. Jiang Yao killed all these 'powerful' low-level evil evil spirits with a few "bang bang" shots.
The underground palace has long been half filled with sand. Some scattered corpses are half buried in the sand. The time of death of these corpses is only a few decades.
Jiang Yao entered the deepest part and found a tall cow skeleton.
A pair of powerful horns still exude an awe-inspiring and noble aura.
Jiang Yao recognized at a glance that the cow skeleton was the cow Li Luoshu rode back then.
Back then, Li Luoshu rode this green bull, operated the Jiuding, and fought Yang Xuanming in the void.
There is a bell on the neck of the cow bone. Jiang Yao recognized it as the Mountain-shaking Bell. As long as the green cow mooes, the bell can produce a range of vocal attacks that can shake the mountain.
It is a very powerful musical treasure, and it is also a burial gift for the majestic king.
Jiang Yao unceremoniously took off the mountain-shaking bell, put it in his bag, and prepared to give it to his pet dog Xiaohei.
But to be honest, Xiao Hei really doesn't deserve this treasure.
In fact, King Zhengrong's skeleton and horns are of the highest quality, but Jiang Yao cannot use the ring and cannot take it away at all.
Even if he could take it away, he would not be so cruel as to take away all the cow bones.
Jiang Yao patiently knelt down and dug at the sand under the cow bones with a knife.
King Zhengrong is a ninth-level demon. After his death, he should leave behind the Immortal Demon Pill.
The Immortal Demon Pill is a precious medicine with a long shelf life. It can form Immortal Demon Crystal and be immortal for millions of years.
This object not only has majestic demon power and charm, but it is also one of the top hexagram tools, and it is also something that strong hexagram masters like.
With a "ding" sound, the long knife suddenly hit a hard object under the sand.
Jiang Yao was shocked and started digging quickly. But soon, a corpse appeared underneath.
This corpse is extremely hard, like iron stone. He is dressed in feathers and looks lifelike.
When Jiang Yao saw this corpse, he couldn't help but blink and look shocked.
Easy to hide!
He never expected that Yi Guizang would die here.
On Yi Guizang's left hand, he wore a ring specially made by Shen Gua Tang. There were three words on it: Shen Gua Tang.
He looked at Yi Guizang's hand and saw that in the right hand of the corpse, there was indeed a golden spar, exuding an ancient and quiet aura.
King Zhengrong’s Immortal Demon Crystal!
Jiang Yao did not immediately take the Immortal Demon Crystal. He began to examine the cause of Yi Guizang's death.
As soon as you touch it with your hands, you will understand the ginger medicine.
He was poisoned to death.
Yi Guizang's body had many wounds left by strange indigenous snakes.
When he was looking for the Fairy Demon Crystal, he was surrounded by strange snakes in the desert and was bitten to death by a poisonous snake.
Because of the poisoning, the bodies became as hard as stone.
Alas, I can’t think of it. The only great sage of Gua Dao in Shenzhou, the master of Shen Gua Hall, and a big shot known to the world, died here, quietly and no one knew about it. How can it not make people sigh?
Jiang Yao was sighing, and suddenly felt something was wrong.
wrong!
It seems that Yi Guizang has been dead for at least a hundred years. Even if he has no magic power now, he still has this judgment.
After all, he is an archaeologist by training.
Judging from Yi Guizang's clothes and the time his body was wrapped in pulp, it seemed that he had been dead for at least a hundred years.
That's the problem.
Since Yi Guizang has died here for at least a hundred years, then who is the Yi Gua Sage in the Divine Gua Hall of Tiancheng Palace?
That Yi Guizang was released from seclusion more than thirty years ago. As soon as he was released from seclusion, his monthly vote list was restored.
Before that, Yi Guizang had been in seclusion for a hundred years.
Who would have thought that instead of being in seclusion for a hundred years, he would die here for a hundred years.
This dead man is the real Yi Guizang.
But the Yi Gua Sheng who came out of seclusion thirty years ago cannot be the real Yi Guicang.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yao couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
He knew the relationship between Yi Guizang and Yu Kuan. According to Yu Kuan, Yi Guizang was her hexagram master.
The more Jiang Yao thought about it, the more strange he felt.
Yu Kuan seems to have no interest in hexagrams, no matter in his previous life or in this life.
Why did she worship Yi Guizang as her teacher and practice hexagrams?
In ancient times, the Immortal Emperor was not suitable for cultivating hexagrams because he was contaminated with the luck of the king and had great karma.
It's impossible for Yan'er not to know this. But she worshiped Yi Guizang as her teacher...
Jiang Yao had not thought of this before, but now that she thinks about it, it feels a little unreasonable.
In particular, Yi Guizang turned out to be a fake. Will Kuner be in danger?
He couldn't help but feel a little sad for Yu Yan.
Yu Kuan's several powerful masters and the Taoist Master of the Martial Arts Shrine turned out to be Dong Sheng pretending to be a man who wanted to marry Ling Ling because of her qualifications.
The biggest backer, Mu Xianyan, the master of Xukonghai, turned out to be Concubine Silkworm Yao. He wanted to seize her and then control the power of the Zhou Kingdom.
And this Yi Guizang is actually fake again...
She is like a piece of Tang Monk meat, with more than one person surrounding her with ulterior motives.
emmm...it's a bit miserable.
If Kuan'er knew, would she become autistic?
Relatively speaking, his master, Jiang Yin, was pretty good. Although he was henpecked, he at least gave him a lot of treasures and paved a lot of paths for him.
That ghost master Jin Hui is actually pretty good to me.
Unfortunately, Yu Yan cannot be contacted here.
Jiang Yao took off Yi Guizang's ring, took away the fairy crystal in his hand, and buried his body on the sand dunes outside.
It's worthy of him.
Is there any secret in his ring?
Jiang Yao buried Yi Guizang while thinking.
Who is pretending to be Yi Guizang? What is the purpose? Is it related to Luo Hong and Li Shizhen's group?
Yi Guizang practiced Gua Dao, which was classified as a Taoist secret technique in ancient times and was a branch of Taoism.
From this perspective, Yi Guizang also belongs to a Taoist priest.
Jiang Yao had a vague feeling that many things seemed to be related to the "Tao Sect".
wrong!
Jiang Yao suddenly thought of something.
Yi Guizang was a powerful martial saint, and his physical body was far superior to that of ordinary people. Even if he was bitten to death by a strange snake after losing his magic power, he would not die immediately.
This process may last several days.
So after Yi Guizang was poisoned, he may have been active nearby for several days. He must have left some clues.
Would a person like Yi Guizang do nothing before his death?
Is it possible?
He is a great sage of hexagrams!
Jiang Yao immediately returned to King Zhengrong's tomb and searched everywhere.
Not long after, I actually found a stone wall. The area near this stone wall seemed to have been disturbed.
The ginger medicine was pulled under the stone wall a few times, and sure enough, a line of words appeared:
"Cause and effect are out of the world, and the world of mortals moves too little. Immortals and mortals are separated by heaven and earth, and they return home with a single door and six fingers."
The title is exactly that of Yi Guizang.
This is a prophecy! The hexagrams and words left by Yi Guizang.
Although it is a divination deduced from the hexagram path, how to interpret the divination may not be correct even by the hexagram master himself.
Therefore, Yi Guizang only left the inscriptions, but not his own interpretation, in order to avoid misinterpretation and mislead others.
Jiang Yao deciphered the first two lines of divination at a glance. Even Yi Guizang himself may not have understood these two lines correctly, but he knew they were about the Immortal of Cause and Effect and the Immortal of Red Dust.
It's not that Jiang Yao Gua Dao is better than Yi Guizang, but that he has a previous life and has more knowledge.
The God of Cause and Effect was born together with the world of mortals, affecting the energy of the world. This is the interpretation of the first two divination sentences. Now it has come true.
For Jiang Yao, the most difficult part is the third and fourth sentences.
"The world and the world are separated by a single door and six fingers." What does it mean?
Immortals and mortals are separated by heaven and earth. This sentence seems to be nonsense and extremely straightforward. But Jiang Yao feels that this seemingly simple oracle is actually the most obscure!
There is no mortal class in the true world. In ancient times, almost all of them were monks. There were very few people who were unable to practice due to special reasons.
Therefore, in ancient times, there was no "difference between immortals and mortals".
Even the Immortal Emperor and the ordinary monks are only distinguished between the king and the people, not the "distinction between immortals and mortals".
So in the current real world, are monks and mortals "different from immortals and mortals"?
Neither.
Because first of all, there have been no immortals in the real world for tens of thousands of years, so the idea of immortals has long since ceased, and immortals have become legendary existences.
The powerful martial saints of the true world never consider themselves immortals, nor are they regarded as immortals.
Since there are no immortals, then where is the "difference between immortals and mortals"?
The difference between monks in the real world and ordinary slaves is difficult to describe as "a world apart". Although the gap between the two is huge, they still live on the same land.
Mortals can also practice and become monks if they have the conditions. The difference between the two is, to put it bluntly, the gap in resources and status.
It's more like the difference between slave owners and slaves. In essence, there is no difference.
Just like Jiang Yao, he was once a mortal slave, but now he is a great monk.
At least, mortals can see the monks often and are not surprised by the monks.
But the phrase "there's a world between immortals and mortals" makes people very uncomfortable.
Jiang Yao seems to have seen the immortals who are above, transcending everything. But the mortals below the immortals are crawling in the world of mortals, worshiping the immortals in the sky!
No, the immortal should not be visible!
The immortals are in the sky and not on the same earth as them. So it is difficult for them to see the immortals, but they know their existence.
Therefore, immortals are the mysterious gods in their hearts, who are believed and worshiped forever.
This is the feeling that "the world is separated from the world" brings Jiang Yao.
Very uncomfortable feeling.
This kind of ecology did not exist in ancient times, nor does it exist now. It seems to exist in the legendary ancient times and in earth mythology.
Does it look like a world dominated by gods?
"Separated between heaven and earth" is a world dominated by gods? In this world, the number of gods is very small, but they are the absolute rulers and masters?
What is this? This is divine power!
Only the theocratic world is the real difference between immortals and mortals. The polarization between immortals and mortals is to the extreme, to the point where gods and believers are insurmountable.
"Pa!" Jiang Yao suddenly clapped his hands, "Yi Guizang's oracles refer to the emergence of a theocratic world dominated by gods, with extreme polarization?"
The more I thought about the ginger medicine, the more uncomfortable I became.
What about the last sentence?
Shanmen Liuzhigui... Liuzhi, may refer to the Six-fingered Immortal. So what about Shanmen?
After all, Jiang Yao was familiar with ancient history. He thought about the word "single door" and immediately remembered a word.
Explain!
The ancient "Tianshe", which is suspected to be a forgery, records that in the very early ancient times, there once appeared an ancient Taoist religion called Chanjiao, or Chandao.
The record of "Chan" in "Tianshe" is unclear and extremely brief, with only two sentences:
"Elucidate the Tao and confer gods as heaven, but the Taoist ancestors intercept it. The debates do not know the time, and they have changed the sea and the world."
"We fought in Japan, the gods of the Chan religion fell and the sky collapsed, and the cataclysm of destruction lasted for hundreds of years."
There are only a few crosses, which can be said to be very secretive.
Such a simple and difficult-to-distinguish record has little historical value.
Could it be that the "single door" deduced by Yi Guizang really refers to interpretation?
What’s the connection with Six Fingers?
Jiang Yao was in a daze when he suddenly felt a shadow beside him, shaking slightly on the stone wall.
He also has a shadow, but this is not his shadow!
Whose shadow is this?
Who is behind you?
