The person lying in the coffin is none other than Master Kong, the eternal master who has stood for eternity in the Hall of Famed Masters!
Didn't he ascend to a higher plane?
Why is the body lying here?
Feeling trembling all over, Zheng Yang didn't dare to think too much, for fear that thinking too much would cause the entire Famed Master Hall to collapse.
Master Kong, the spiritual pillar of the Hall of Famed Masters, has disappeared. Everyone thinks that he has ascended to a higher world, become a god, or an immortal. They never dreamed that he would die here, just like the statue standing outside, the corner of his mouth
With a faint smile, he seemed to be teaching.
It seems that he was killed while he was giving a lecture.
With his strength, who can kill him?
And who buried him here without even the Hall of Famed Masters and hundreds of schools of thought knowing about it?
His heart was beating rapidly, and Zheng Yang's throat was dry. He wanted to say something, but felt that he couldn't say a word, so he had to sit cross-legged on the ground, not daring to move.
Seeing the corpse of ancient sage Ran Qiu, he was just shocked, but now he was already terrified.
Anyone can die under the sun, but news like this about Master Kong... will definitely collapse the faith of countless people.
For a moment, I was in a daze and didn't know what to do.
"I'll understand when the teacher comes..."
Struggling to stand up, Zheng Yang didn't dare to think too much.
Having followed the teacher for many years, he knew that difficult things were nothing in front of the teacher. Since he couldn't figure it out, it was better to wait peacefully. He was about to leave along the passage when his feet suddenly froze.
As if being shrouded by some force, his vision went dark.
Plop!
Zheng Yang lost consciousness.
…
Sitting in the room where he taught before, Zhang Xuan was in a relaxed mood, with his thoughts quickly spreading into the distance.
In his previous life, he was just a librarian at an ordinary university. He never dreamed that he would travel to such a world after his death.
When I first arrived, I was full of hesitation and confusion. I didn't know what to do. I just wanted to live well.
Now it has completely stabilized, integrated into this world, and become a part of it.
Travel through time, be reborn, and carry the Library of Heaven with you...
The past life slowly merged with this life, and an inexplicable emotion emerged. Zhang Xuan had a clear understanding in his heart. It seemed that the power beyond heaven began to sprout, and it would pierce the soil and emerge from the ground at any time.
Just as he was comprehending, he heard a hurried cry ringing in his ears. He slowly opened his eyes and saw Wei Ruyan's figure.
"You said... you found the body of Ancient Saint Ran Qiu?"
After listening to the other party's words, Zhang Xuan stood up suddenly.
How could the ancient sage Ran Qiu, the most powerful among Master Kong’s many disciples and a being he had always admired, die here and have his body buried dozens of kilometers underground?
"Go over and have a look!"
Unable to hold on any longer, he followed Wei Ruyan and flew straight in the direction of the corpse. Soon he entered the underground palace and saw the coffin.
He took a closer look and frowned more and more: "Looking at the appearance and aura, they are all ancient saints..."
When we were in Baixi Mountain, we had seen the remnant soul of the ancient sage, and we had a chance to meet him. The corpse in front of us was exactly the same, exactly the same.
It seemed that Wei Ruyan was right, this was indeed his body.
"Come and see!"
With a flick of his wrist, the Dragon Bone Divine Spear turned into a divine dragon floating in the sky. He looked down at the coffin below, swayed, and fell directly to the ground.
"Owner……"
It kept whimpering, and its huge dragon body was trembling.
It was refined by the person in front of me. I thought that the latter had already ascended with Master Kong, but I never imagined that the body would be left here, breathless.
"It seems to be true..."
Seeing the confirmation of the Dragon Bone Spear, Zhang Xuan frowned again and looked at the girl beside him: "Where is Zheng Yang?"
"I don't know, this guy should be here..." Wei Ruyan was also stunned.
Since he was asked to report the news, he should be here to guard, why is there not even a single figure?
Zhang Xuan looked around for a week and found no trace of Zheng Yang. Then he came to the body of ancient sage Ran Qiu and gently touched it with his palm.
If you want to find out, the best way is to use the library.
"defect!"
The library was shocked, and Zhang Xuan shook his head.
No books were produced.
I don't know if it's because of the other party's corpse, or because of the existence of the power to isolate the way of heaven.
"It should be that this place has the power to isolate the way of heaven..."
Zhang Xuan looked around for a week.
He has also inspected the corpse. At most, he couldn't find anything about his life, but it was still easy to detect the level and so on.
This is somewhat similar to treasure exploration.
Nothing has appeared now, which only means that this place is isolated from the way of heaven. Because of this, countless Tianji masters cannot deduce or even know that Master Kong's most powerful disciple died here.
"This is an ancient place. It is said that it has never been baptized by the battles of the foreign spirit tribe... There is a chance that the weakened bloodline can be restored. Ran Qiu left the body of the ancient saint here. Is there anything to say?"
The more he thought about it, the stranger he felt, and Zhang Xuan fell into deep thought.
In addition to the thin spiritual energy that makes this ancient land unsuitable for cultivation, there are too many magical features in this ancient land. Ran Qiu's corpse of the ancient sage was actually found here, and he also traveled here. Is there any connection?
The Eye of Understanding moved, and Zhang Xuan walked around the coffin again.
"There is a passage down here..."
He raised his eyebrows and suddenly stepped out from a certain place.
Squeaky!
The coffin moved, just like when Zheng Yang was there just now, and an underground passage slowly appeared in front of it.
After looking at each other with Wei Ruyan, Zhang Xuan walked in without any hesitation.
The girl followed closely.
The layout of the second stone chamber is exactly the same as the first, and the position of the sarcophagus is also exactly the same, giving people an ancient and vast feeling.
The room was empty, not a soul in sight.
"Teacher, Senior Brother Zheng Yang seems to have been here..."
Looking around, Wei Ruyan suddenly said.
"Has he been here?"
Zhang Xuan looked over.
"Well, the marks on the wall that someone bumped into, judging from their shape, should have been left by my senior brother..."
Wei Ruyan pointed.
Zhang Xuan looked around hurriedly, and sure enough he saw a deep hole in the wall appearing in front of him. His body shape was almost the same as Zheng Yang's. He guessed correctly that he had knocked it out with his back.
"Sure enough, I've been here before. It must have been because I saw the corpse in the coffin and felt scared..."
After taking a look, Zhang Xuan analyzed it, with curiosity in his eyes.
What is in this coffin that can bring more horror than the corpse of Ancient Saint Ran Qiu?
"Open it and take a look!"
Unable to hold it any longer, Zhang Xuan came forward in two steps and exerted force with his palms.
Squeak!
The coffin lid slowly opened, and a figure slowly appeared in front of him, quiet and peaceful, as if he had just stopped breathing.
His pupils shrank and Zhang Xuan's whole body tensed up.
The corpse that appeared in the coffin turned out to be... Zheng Yang!
