After hearing Zhang Ruochen's words, everyone looked at the hill again and observed carefully. Sure enough, it looked more and more like a giant tomb from a distance.
"Since it's a dragon grave, maybe the golden dragon from eight hundred years ago was buried under the hill." Duanmu Xingling's eyes lit up and her eyelashes blinked. She didn't know what she was thinking.
?
Huang Yanchen said: "Even if we know that the dragon relic is at the bottom of the hill, what's the use? We can't get even one step closer to the hill."
"That's not necessarily the case."
Zhang Ruochen looked at the dragon horn in his hand and said: "The reason why those humans and beasts died at the bottom of the hill is because they alarmed the dragon soul in the hill, and their souls were shattered by the breath of the dragon soul.
"
Although the golden dragon died, the dragon soul has not dissipated.
Just now, Zhang Ruochen was almost shattered by the roar of the dragon soul.
Si Xingkong asked: "How can we avoid the dragon soul?"
"Avoid?"
Zhang Ruochen shook his head and said: "The golden dragon was once the mount of the Buddha Emperor, and later it swallowed the Buddha Emperor's relics. How can it be so terrifying to cultivate? Even with our cultivation, we can't avoid its dragon soul. It's impossible.
It's possible. If we want to enter that hill, we can only worship the dragon soul."
After saying this, Zhang Ruochen immediately put his hands together and bowed deeply to the hill in front of him.
At the same time, he released his powerful mental power, communicated with the dragon soul in the hill, and recited a "Quiet Soul Curse".
The "Quiet Soul Mantra" is a basic Buddhist scripture on the Way of Ten Thousand Buddhas. It is not a martial skill, so it is widely circulated and almost every Buddhist monk can recite it.
Naturally, the Ming Emperor's Palace at that time also included "Quiet Soul Curse", so Zhang Ruochen happened to look through it and memorized it.
The main function of "Quiet Soul Curse" is to purify the distracting thoughts, evil thoughts, and murderous thoughts in the mind of the warrior, to save the souls of the dead, and to calm the mind.
If you hear monks reciting the "Quiet Soul Mantra" for a long time, it can also strengthen the warrior's martial soul.
Of course, the "Quiet Soul Mantra" also has a certain degree of aggression. If it is recited by a Buddhist monk, it can even immobilize the warrior's martial soul and put the warrior into hypnosis.
It is said that when Queen Chi Yao led the army to attack the Western Regions, Emperor Buddha recited the "Quiet Soul Mantra" and caused the army led by Queen Chi Yao to sleep for seven days and seven nights. He wanted to use this method to force Queen Chi Yao to face difficulties.
And retreat.
Unfortunately, the Buddha Emperor still misjudged the determination of Queen Chi Yao, and finally the army entered the Western Region and defeated the Ten Thousand Buddhas Path.
The ancient temple, which had been inherited for countless thousands of years, was destroyed in one day.
Later, although the Ten Thousand Buddhas Path was rebuilt, it had lost its former glory.
Zhang Ruochen is not an eminent monk, so he recited the "Quiet Soul Mantra" just with the mentality of giving it a try, with piety in his heart, hoping that it would have a certain effect on the dragon soul.
Si Xingkong, Chang Qiqi, Huang Yanchen, Duanmu Xingling, Zi Qian, and Chen Xi'er also put their hands together and knelt on the ground to worship the dragon soul.
Only if they show enough goodwill, the dragon soul will not be hostile to them.
Gradually, Zhang Ruochen felt that the power of the dragon soul was weakening, so he slowly walked towards the hill.
The others also stood up and immediately followed behind Zhang Ruochen, approaching cautiously.
When the power of the dragon soul completely disappeared, Zhang Ruochen stopped reciting the "Quiet Soul Curse" and whispered: "I'm going to find the entrance to the dragon grave. You guys hurry up and pick the elixirs on the hills. Remember,
You must remain pious and don't offend the dragon soul."
Hearing that elixirs could be harvested, Chang Qiqi couldn't wait any longer and rushed to the hill immediately.
Guo Guo was one step faster than Chang Qiqi. She had already climbed the hill. When she saw the elixir, she gnawed it hard and drank it up.
Except for Zhang Ruochen, everyone else climbed up the hill and started picking elixirs.
Each of the elixirs on the mountain is a rare treasure, including healing medicines, magical medicines for improving cultivation, and tonics for prolonging life.
Every time you pick a plant, it is equivalent to a rich fortune.
Chang Qiqi held a three-foot-tall blood jade-like coral in her hands and kept stroking it. She was very excited and quickly put the blood coral into the space ring given to him by Zhang Ruochen.
Afterwards, Chang Qiqi immediately went to pick other elixirs.
Zhang Ruochen also climbed up the hill, but instead of picking those elixirs, he looked around for the entrance to the hill.
Not long after, Zhang Ruochen saw a stone wall halfway up the mountain. The surface was very smooth, but it was covered with moss and many places were wrapped in sand.
After throwing away the mud and sand, the outline of an ancient stone gate was gradually revealed, reaching a height of seven meters and carved with deep concave patterns.
"Bang!"
Zhang Ruochen struck the surface of the stone door with his palm, and those prints immediately emitted a faint golden light, blocking Zhang Ruochen's palm prints.
This palm also shook off a layer of stone skin on the surface of the stone door, revealing a deep concave pit, like a keyhole.
Zhang Ruochen showed joy and immediately called to everyone, "Everyone, come here quickly. I have found the stone gate into the hill."
Just as everyone was rushing towards the stone gate, suddenly, a harsh laughter sounded from the bottom of the hill: "Zhang Ruochen, thank you for helping me find the dragon relic."
A man wearing a metal mask moved his body laterally and turned into a series of afterimages, appearing at the bottom of the hill. Then, he kicked his feet, riding on the water waves, and rushed up from the bottom of the hill towards the stone gate.
Rush in the direction quickly.
"No, it's Di Yi, the young master of the Black Market First Grade Hall." Si Xingkong said.
Huang Yanchen was the closest to Di Yi, and immediately used the wind-controlling flying dragon shadow. With a movement of his body, he turned into a dragon shadow and rushed in front of Di Yi, preparing to stop him.
"Whoosh!"
Huang Yanchen pulled out an eighth-level true weapon-level war sword, shook his arm, rolled up thirteen sword flowers, and stabbed Di Yi in the heart.
After breaking through to the Tianji Realm, Huang Yanchen's speed was incredibly fast, his body movements changed unpredictably, and nine figures appeared, as if he had stabbed nine swords at once.
“Don’t overestimate your own capabilities.”
Di Yi snorted coldly, and without stopping, he struck out with a palm and struck the sword that Huang Yanchen was stabbing at.
Before the palm print collided with the sword, Huang Yanchen was hit by a gust of palm wind and vomited blood. He flew back and hit the stone door with his body.
In Huang Yanchen's current semi-conscious state, it was impossible to activate the defensive inscriptions in the space pendant to protect herself. If she really hit the stone door, all her bones would fall apart and she would die on the spot.
Fortunately, Zhang Ruochen was standing next to the stone door. When he saw Huang Yanchen being knocked away by Di Yi's palm, he immediately rushed forward, released his true energy, and held Huang Yanchen's back with both hands.
The two of them kept retreating until they reached the stone door. Only then did Zhang Ruochen completely resolve the impact on Huang Yanchen and stop.
"Zhang Ruochen, you are my enemy, how dare you distract yourself from saving people?"
Suddenly, behind Zhang Ruochen, Di Yi's sneer sounded.
Without any hesitation, Zhang Ruochen immediately injected his true energy into the space ring and activated the defensive inscriptions. A layer of white brilliance burst out of the space ring, forming a spherical protective cover.
Just when the protective shield was just forming, Di pointed out one by one and hit the main meridian on Zhang Ruochen's back, the Tianxin Meridian.
"Wow!"
Despite the protective shield, Di Yi's fingertips still penetrated slowly, getting closer and closer to Zhang Ruochen's back.
Di Yi's pair of gloves, called "Black Dragon Ghost Claws", is a set of tenth-level true martial arts treasures. It is precisely because he wears a pair of gloves that he can defeat the defense of the space ring layer by layer.
If the emperor's heart really hits him, Zhang Ruochen's martial arts cultivation will be abolished.
At the critical moment, a dazzling light appeared between Zhang Ruochen's eyebrows, and the heart of the sword intention suspended in the sea of qi emitted a bright white light.
Motivated by the heart of the sword, Shen Yuan's ancient sword immediately left its sheath and flew out, leaving a beautiful arc, dragging out a sword light more than ten meters long, and slashed towards Di Yi's arm.
"Killing with a sword, the heart of the sword is clear."
Di Yi exclaimed, immediately retracted his fingers, and slapped Shen Yuan's ancient sword with his palm.
The pair of black dragon ghost claw gloves are tenth-level true martial arts treasures. Under the influence of Di Yi's true energy, the inscriptions in the gloves were activated, forming a huge black dragon claw mark more than ten meters long, marking
go out.
The paw prints are condensed and formed, like a black cloud, with astonishing power and infinite power.
"Bang!"
Shen Yuan's ancient sword was knocked backwards and crashed into the mud and rocks of the hill, leaving only a deep sword hole.
Zhang Ruochen stretched out his arm, and Shen Yuan's ancient sword flew back, flew around Zhang Ruochen's body, and struck at Di Yi again.
"Haha! You have cultivated to the point where the sword's heart is clear at the end of the earth. It seems that I still underestimated you before. You are better than Bu Qianfan in terms of swordsmanship."
Although he knew that Zhang Ruochen had reached the state of clear sword heart, Di Yi was not afraid. He laughed loudly and waved his arm again, creating a huge black dragon claw mark.
An overwhelming force came down from top to bottom, pressing on the top of Zhang Ruochen's head.
In normal times, Zhang Ruochen would definitely not choose to fight Di Yi head-on. Instead, he would use swordsmanship to fight Di Yi from a distance, looking for Di Yi's flaws and seeking opportunities to win through exquisite sword skills.
But that was not possible now. He had to protect Huang Yanchen, who had fainted, and could only use his own weaknesses to resist Di Yi's strengths.
Emperor Tian was born with a holy body and his physique was extremely powerful, so close combat was naturally his strength.
"Dragon-shaped shadow."
Zhang Ruochen moved his body, kicked off his feet, and rushed out.
His body was divided into two, as if there were two Zhang Ruochen, one Zhang Ruochen was wrapped by a dragon shadow, and the other Zhang Ruochen was wrapped by a phantom of a god.
The two Zhang Ruochen attacked from the left and right directions at the same time, using dragon claws and elephant palms to hit Di Yi.
"Boom!"
With a hard blow, the two of them jumped back at the same time.
It's just that Zhang Ruochen took thirteen steps back, and Di Yiyi took three steps back.
"It's interesting. Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm is worthy of being the top palm technique among Ten Thousand Buddhas."
Di Yi knew in his heart that Zhang Ruochen's palm skills were very powerful. If he hadn't been wearing the tenth-level true weapon "Black Dragon Ghost Claw Gloves", he might not have been able to occupy the top position in the previous confrontation.
