As Wei Changtian had guessed before, there is indeed a mausoleum hidden under Yun'an Temple.
Because the man lying in the middle of several ebony trees, surrounded by hundreds of golden lotuses, was obviously a dead man.
But what was different from what he had guessed before was that in addition to being a mausoleum, this place also looked very much like a sacrificial occasion.
The hollow stone wall with a radius of 100 feet is covered with golden Buddhist scriptures, making people dizzy after just a few glances.
Countless night pearls are scattered high and low in all directions, illuminating the entire hollow like day.
In the center of the cave is a "lotus pond" the size of a basketball court. The water in the pond is mercury and the lotus flowers are gold leaves.
Surrounded by many golden lotuses, an old monk wearing a bright red cassock, white hair and beard, and twelve ring scars on his head was lying quietly on a golden lotus platform, his eyes lightly closed, and there was no breath at all.
In fact, this scene alone, although a bit strange, has nothing to do with sacrifice.
but......
"..."
Taking a deep breath, Wei Changtian carefully pulled out the Longquan Sword, and then slowly walked to the lotus pond.
He squatted down, chopped off a lotus petal with his sword, held it in his hand and looked at it for a while.
The petals are made of gold, and the workmanship is very fine, even the tiny leaf veins are there, and it feels very much like a real lotus flower.
But that's not the point.
The key is that Wei Changtian actually felt a very powerful and slowly flowing internal force from this golden petal.
Although the Three Thousand Dao Dao breathes the same true energy of heaven and earth, the internal power condensed by each sect is different.
Therefore, Wei Changtian immediately recognized that this was the internal power of Buddhism.
But why does this golden lotus have internal power?
Wei Changtian frowned, and his brain was working rapidly.
He has long been very clear about the "cultivation rules" of this world.
To put it simply, there is "true energy" like air between heaven and earth. The existence of true energy gives everything in this world different characteristics from the previous life.
For example, this world can breed "spiritual medicines" with all kinds of magical effects, can give birth to all kinds of strange monsters, and even ordinary crops are not as good as those carefully selected "excellent varieties" in previous lives.
difference.
But if there is only true energy, this place is undoubtedly not a world of cultivation.
Because true energy comes from heaven and earth, it cannot be used directly.
Only after cultivators convert the true energy into their own internal power with the help of the techniques of various schools and sects can they display various wonderful magical powers.
In other words, the process of cultivation is actually the process of converting true energy into internal energy and storing it in the Dantian.
The difference between different realms mainly lies in the upper limit of the internal energy that the Dantian can "accommodate" and the purity of the internal energy.
The higher the upper limit, the more magical martial arts you can perform.
The higher the purity, it means that you can display stronger magical powers and martial arts.
It's somewhat off track.
In a word, internal strength must be generated by cultivators.
Except for humans and monsters, nothing else can convert true energy into internal energy, and it cannot even store internal energy for a long time.
This is also the reason why there are no "blue bottles of blood" in this world.
Except for the "Tian Yuan Pill" sold in the system, Wei Changtian has never seen any pills or treasures that can directly replenish internal energy.
Even the top masters can only meditate to recover if their internal strength is gone. At most, they can use demon spirit pills, a treasure that can store true energy, to speed up their recovery.
Internal strength cannot be borrowed or stored. This is almost a rule similar to truth in this world.
But now, the golden petal in Wei Changtian's hand is indeed flowing with an extremely large amount of internal energy.
Let’s not talk about why these golden lotus can store internal energy.
Because there is something even weirder now.
Where do these internal forces... come from??
...
...
"Ms. sir..."
After a while, Yangliu Shi, who also picked a golden petal next to her, also discovered something was wrong.
She stared blankly, her face filled with disbelief.
"Why, why is this happening?"
"I don't know, but..."
Compared with Yangliu Shi, Wei Changtian came from time travel after all, and the "world view" he just constructed is not too deep-rooted, so he has now regained his composure.
He frowned and thought for a moment, then analyzed softly:
"But this inner strength cannot be faked."
"So either someone in Buddhism has found a way to use dead objects to store internal energy."
"Either...there's something alive in this cave."
"Living thing?"
Yang Liushi suddenly raised her head and looked at the body lying in the middle of the lotus pond, her mouth opened wide instantly.
Obviously, if there is a living thing here, it seems to be this corpse.
"Ms. sir, I can't feel any breath from the slave family..."
After taking a few quick breaths, she asked Wei Changtian in a low voice: "Would you like to go take a look?"
"There's no rush yet."
Wei Changtian shook his head, narrowed his eyes and played with the gold leaf in his hand, but did not move rashly.
This mausoleum hidden under the phantom formation is full of weirdness, and it doesn't have the aura of a protagonist, so it won't be worth it if it capsizes in the gutter.
What's more, even if you really want to take this risk, you have to get the benefits you're talking about first.
"Liu Shi, how much internal energy is there in this lotus petal?"
"This... is probably equivalent to all the fourth-level warriors."
"How many petals does a golden lotus have?"
"A dozen petals."
"How many golden lotuses are there here?"
"Hundreds of flowers...ah!"
Suddenly, Yang Liushi screamed.
Only then did she realize that she had just been thinking about why there was internal power in these golden petals, and she had forgotten this!
The internal energy stored in a lotus petal is basically equivalent to what a fourth-level martial artist's Dantian can contain.
And there are so many golden lotuses here, nearly two thousand petals... Isn't this equivalent to the reserves of two thousand fourth-level warriors?
Two thousand fourth-grade warriors!
Even if converted to the second level, the empty Dantian can be filled dozens of times!
To know how to compete among masters, it is very important to reasonably distribute internal strength.
Just imagine, when the two of them are fighting to the bitter end and are running out of ammunition and food, one of them suddenly takes out a golden petal, and his inner strength is instantly full...
"This this......"
Yang Liushi's face turned red as her mouth opened wide in shock.
At the moment, she didn't care to think about where these internal powers came from, she just looked at Wei Changtian and said with a trembling voice:
"Mr. Xianggong, then let's..."
"Well, let's do it."
Wei Changtian smiled, stood up and looked at the entire lotus pond. His eyes seemed like he was looking at a bank vault in his previous life.
"We'll talk about the rest later, but let's get all these first!"
"But remember to be careful and run away immediately if something goes wrong."
"Yeah! The slave family remembers it!"
Yang Liushi also stood up at this time, nodding her head repeatedly, with only excitement in her eyes.
The two looked at each other, and immediately the ink marks disappeared. The next moment, they turned into two black shadows and rushed towards the golden lotus in the pond from the east and west sides.
"..."
"Ms. sir! Take off your clothes quickly!"
"Ah? Take off your clothes?"
"Yes! There are too many! The slave family can't take them down!"
