Chapter 282 The Age of Dharma Ending and Spiritual Qi Exhaustion
Start practicing by gaining experience. Text Volume Chapter 282: The Drainage of Spiritual Energy in the Age of Ending Dharma. This irregular cave has an almost semi-circular top, and is inlaid with luminous pearls, like stars in the sky.
The cave below was shrouded in mist. At the bottom, which could not be seen at a glance, there was a stone staircase leading down. A palace was vaguely visible in the mist.
Wang An continued to go down the stone steps, and he heard the sound of running water. Is there a river in this cave?
All the way down, the stairs are not straight, but they have to make a small bend. It takes a relatively long time to reach the bottom. Wang An made a rough estimate, and it is at least more than three hundred meters to go down from the top.
Vertically, that's about the height of a skyscraper.
When he reached the bottom of the stone steps, he saw a small stream with clear water. Going up along the stream, there was an avenue paved with bluestones, with vaguely visible stone pillars on both sides, as thick as an arm's length.
The straight avenue continued to extend forward. It was surrounded by fog and the visibility was very low. However, the distance was only five or six meters. As he continued to move forward, Wang An discovered that the underground space was much larger than he imagined.
The cave seems to be in the shape of an upside-down bowl.
Walking along the street paved with bluestones, two stone statues suddenly stopped in front of him. They looked like lions and tigers, with scales on their bodies. Wang An looked at the two stone statues, and they looked like Pixiu.
Further forward, a stone staircase appeared, going all the way up. Along the stone steps, Wang An came to a palace. The palace was quite tall, with two bronze doors tightly closed, and two stone statues of a dragon and a phoenix on the left and right.
Wang An stood in front of the bronze gate and raised his hand to try. The bronze gate did not move at all.
Hiss, Wang An took a slight breath, exhaled all the strength in his body, and circulated his true energy. With a sudden palm, King Kong slapped the table. With a bang, a loud noise, and a creak, the bronze door was forcefully opened by him and there was a gap. There was light.
It emanated from the palace.
Wang An stood outside and looked in, and then entered the palace. There was a luminous pearl hanging on the dome in the palace, like a nebula.
There were twelve pillars on both sides of the palace avenue, all of which were bronze pillars. At the end was a golden coffin. Wang An walked to the side of the coffin.
This coffin is carved with complicated patterns, which seems to be some kind of talisman. It is inlaid with crystal stones on all four sides. It is not big, only about the size of an egg, and its appearance is completely different from the one on the stone wall outside.
The crystal is milky white, a bit like mutton-fat white jade. The energy emitted from it is also milder.
Wang An did not open the golden coffin, but walked aside and looked at the colorful paintings on the wall next to the coffin.
There is a city painted on it, a city floating in the sky, emitting golden light, and a person standing on the clouds like a fairy.
This picture reminded him of the ancient painting found among the ancient ruins under the crack in Beiyi Mountain, which also depicted a city floating in the sky.
"Could it be that this person has reached that city before?"
Wang An looked at the mural. Outside the Immortal Burial Valley, the person in charge of the base had already reported the situation here to the superiors.
Specialized scientific researchers sealed up the monster's body and took it away.
"He left and came back again, holding a strange stone in his hand. It is most likely a sacred stone. It may be a sacred stone taken from the ancient ruins deep in the Immortal Burial Valley or from Beiyi Mountain. He
Why go in again?"
"Is it possible that it was taken out from the ancient ruins in the Immortal Burial Valley and then sent back after thinking it was no longer needed?"
"Would you send it back if it were you?"
"Well, I will deliver it."
"Your eyelids are twitching so fast. You are lying when you hear it! How can there be any reason to send back the gold you got?!"
"But he is not an ordinary person after all. Maybe his ideas are different from ours?"
"Stop arguing, have you noticed that he can actually hold the sacred stone with his hands? Most people, not to mention holding it with their hands, can't stand the energy radiation emitted by the sacred stone even if they are close? His body is already powerful beyond imagination.
to the point!"
"There are some questions waiting for him to come out and ask. We now need to find out what the monster is and what is in the ancient ruins deep in the Immortal Burial Valley."
Among the ancient ruins deep in the Immortal Burial Valley, Wang An had already read the murals all around, and also found some ancient relics, ancient swords, ancient paintings, ancient books, and other such things.
Wang An picked it up and looked through it, choosing a few that he thought might be useful to him, and then turned around and left the palace. As for what was in the golden coffin, was it the same as the three coffins outside?
It seemed that there were still living monsters inside, but he did not open the coffin to verify.
After leaving Immortal Burial Valley, he used his true energy to clean himself up, and then found the person in charge of this base.
"Hello, what can I do for you?" The person in charge of the base had his heart beating in his throat. He didn't know why Wang An suddenly wanted to see him.
"Just stand there. I may still be carrying germs. I have already seen the ancient ruins in the Immortal Burial Valley. There are two ancient ruins inside, one outside and one inside. There are four coffins inside, and three of them have been opened.
, I sent away the two monsters." Wang An told the person in charge of the base about the situation of the monuments inside, and then left.
"Well, let's leave now. What did he just say?" After Wang An left, the person in charge of the base did not recover for a while.
During the day, before the sun set, Wang An returned to the mountain village and came to Dongshan. He spent two days on the top of the mountain before returning home.
"Well, I think you seem to be different from when you left." Li Xinzhu stared at Wang And and said.
"It's different. Where is it different?"
"I can't put it into words, I just feel it's different." Li Xinzhu said after thinking for a moment.
"I'll treat you to whatever you want to eat tonight." Wang An said with a smile.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Shall we get a cow to eat?" Li Xinzhu said casually after hearing this.
"A cow? Okay!"
Wang An really managed to get a cow, so much so that when he went to buy beef, the boss was stunned.
"You want this cow?"
"Yes, I want this whole cow." Wang An nodded.
After that, he bought another big pot, took the big pot up to Dongshan, and used the spring water on the mountain to stew beef.
"Good guy, good guy!" Li Xinzhu was a little stunned.
He had eaten beef countless times, but this was his first time eating beef like this.
A cow cannot be cooked in one pot, so he kept part of it in the refrigerator and took most of it up the mountain.
After washing the beef, cut it into large pieces, put it directly into the large pot, filled it with firewood and cooked it vigorously. After a while, the aroma of the beef wafted out.
Wang An prepared some simple dipping ingredients, fine salt, soy sauce, and chili. When the beef was cooked, the two of them cut it up and ate it.
"Well, it's delicious and enjoyable!" Li Xinzhu praised. "Come on, Mr. Monkey, you can try it too."
The monkeys were also eating happily.
"It smells so good, I can smell the meat from so far away!" Xu Qi also went up the mountain.
"Come, let's eat together." Wang An greeted.
Xu Qi reached out and grabbed a piece of beef, "Huh, uh, it's so hot! Mmm, it's delicious!"
"The Special Affairs Bureau asked you to come for questioning again?"
"I can't hide it from sir." Xu Qi said with a smile.
"What do you want to know?"
"Are there sacred stones containing huge energy in those two ancient ruins?"
"Yes, there are ancient ruins under the cracks in Beiyi Mountain, and there are also ones in the Immortal Burial Valley, and there are more than one piece of spiritual consciousness in the Immortal Burial Valley." Wang Andao said.
"Sacred stone, what divine stone?" Li Xinzhu asked curiously after hearing this.
"A magical crystal that contains a lot of energy, like a nuclear fuel rod, or like the spiritual stone described in it that contains the spiritual energy of heaven and earth."
"Oh, there is something like that, can we absorb it?"
"Do you think ordinary people can absorb nuclear fuel rods?" Xu Qi asked.
"Of course that's not possible."
"The energy contained in it can easily kill a person. Not to mention contact, even getting close will be fatally affected. That is to say, people with advanced cultivation like Mr. can directly contact the sacred stone." Xu Qi said.
"What kind of sacred stone do you care about?" Wang An asked.
"Yes, it's not just us, it's the same in other countries. Through research, we found that the sacred stone can cause mutations in the human body."
"Man-made mutations?"
"Yes." Xu Qi nodded.
"But I remember when I was studying biology, I learned that mutation is not directional."
"In fact, it is controllable to a certain extent, and relevant scientific research departments have made certain progress." Xu Qi said.
Wang An then told Xu Qi what he saw in the Immortal Burial Valley, and he told Xu Qi in great detail.
"Immortal Burial Valley, Immortal Burial Valley, is it possible that there is really an immortal buried there?"
"It's best not to open the golden coffin deep underground without absolute certainty. The contents inside are definitely extraordinary and far better than the contents of the three coffins outside." Wang An said.
He gave a reminder.
"I will definitely convey what sir said to them." Xu Qi said immediately after hearing this.
On the east mountain, the three of them finally ate half of a cow with one monkey, and the eating utensils were cleaned and put into the cave.
Wang An stayed in the mountain village for two days and then left again. This time he went to Yuxiao Mountain. He wanted to completely refine the "liquefied" Qi in his body.
While he was practicing in seclusion, Xu Qi also reported the information he learned to the headquarters of the Beijing Special Affairs Bureau.
"Oh, what a pity. You said he took out all the sacred stones, why did he return them?"
"It's understandable that things should be returned to their original places."
"What do you understand? Can't you just give it to us? It's fine now. He has put it up again. The entire corridor is a radiation communicator, and it also has certain enhanced functions. How do we go in and get it?"
"Let's put aside the sacred stone for now. What is inside the golden coffin he said is underground?"
"According to our current data analysis, the golden coffins are all related to the so-called "immortals" in ancient times. Could there be an "immortal" inside?"
"Okay, let's assume that there is an immortal lying there. The former immortal, is he still alive now? According to Wang An, the three coffins outside are full of monsters. One of them has run out. I don't know now.
The remaining two were killed by Wang An.
The ones outside are so powerful, but what about the one inside?"
"That's why Wang An warned us not to touch the golden coffin inside if we're not sure."
"Move, how to move? We want to move, but the problem is that we can't even get in now."
"Do you think there is such a possibility that he woke up the person lying in the golden coffin after entering?" One person asked such a question. As soon as he said this, everyone in the conference room turned their attention to
On his body.
"It's possible!" After a long silence, a person spoke first.
"Then who will take the blame, us?"
No one spoke, but almost everyone was swearing secretly.
"Fuck, can't you stop us?!"
"What happened to the autopsy results?"
"A very special fungus was found in his body. This microorganism formed a magical symbiotic relationship with his body, which preserved his physical activity to a certain extent, but also turned him into a
A monster, she is still alive, but has no thoughts, and her actions rely entirely on instinct, similar to ancient zombies.
The microorganisms carried in his body are extremely toxic. Once inhaled into the human body, they can cause fatal threats within tens of seconds, including cardiac arrest, organ ulcers, and massive bleeding."
"Another terrifying microorganism. Why do these ancient corpses carry deadly microorganisms?"
"Scientific researchers analyzed that this may be because their bodies are different from those of ordinary people, and in addition, special mutations have occurred under the radiation of the sacred stone.
The people from the Special Affairs Bureau were discussing the matter of the monuments. On Yuxiao Mountain, Wang An was refining the energy in his body and converting it all into his own true energy.
During this retreat, he stayed on Yuxiao Mountain for a month.
When we went up the mountain, some trees in the mountain had just sprouted buds. When we came out of the mountain, some flowers in the mountain were already in full bloom.
Wang An stood on the top of the mountain, looking at the sun in the sky.
The surrounding mountains and fields were still the same as before, and the world in front of him was also the same as before, but in Wang An's eyes, it was different from the past.
Energy, he felt the energy floating between heaven and earth. Different from the vague feeling before, this time the feeling was clearer. If the previous feeling was like being separated by a transparent film, then now it is
The thin film between him and heaven and earth had disappeared.
A layer of shackles on his body has been opened, and he can communicate better with heaven and earth. He can even absorb the energy floating between heaven and earth. It's just that they are too weak.
"At the end of the Dharma era, the spiritual energy is exhausted?" Wang An suddenly thought of these two words that often appeared in some articles.
