An inexplicable chill arose in everyone's hearts. Is this a curse or a prophecy?
Suddenly, a gray hand stretched out from the soil beside the coffin and grabbed Meng Qi's ankle.
The five fingers of the palm form a mysterious seal, which changes endlessly between movement and stillness.
With this grab, the entire tomb suddenly burst into flames of dark green fire. They spread silently and gathered around the gray palm, blocking Meng Qi's evasive route.
Meng Qi had just experienced the events of the Immortal Life and Death Sect, and was very wary of what suddenly appeared from the ground, so he was not caught off guard. He kicked hard, jumped into the air, turned over, and slashed with his long sword.
Ruan Yushu played the harp with his right hand, and the sound of Qingyue echoed in the tomb, and the soul-soothing sound sounded. The Yin energy in the tomb was attracted by the strings above the sapphire flow, and gathered on the strings.
A figure emerged, but did not attack. Instead, he stood upright in front of Ruan Yushu, as if he was listening to Ruan Yushu's piano, and seemed to be waiting for Ruan Yushu's orders!
This is the ability of the string that contains the power of death on the Jade Flow. It can not only absorb and gather death energy and Yin energy, but also can easily control Yin spirits or corpses to a certain extent.
This was the case with the living dead in front of him, who was easily controlled by Ruan Yushu and Qingyu Liu.
"What a good idea. Miss Ruan's music can save us a lot of trouble!"
Meng Qi exclaimed in shock when he saw this, and then his heart moved. The people who attacked him were similar to the "Ningzhou Hero". They were both living dead, and they seemed to be born from the same source!
"It seemed like he was a living dead just now, similar to the 'Ningzhou Hero'." Meng Qi thought about it and said it.
He had told everything about Yangxia and Maoling before.
"Really?" Jiang Zhiwei asked subconsciously, "Could it be that the living dead of the Impermanence of Life and Death Sect are derived from this ancient method of concealing heaven's secrets?"
Although Xijian Pavilion is not a Taoist sect, it has inherited one of the Seven Swords of Jie Tian, including the "Tai Shang Sword Sutra", which has a close relationship with the Taoist sect. Therefore, Jiang Zhiwei did not directly say whether the Life and Death Wuchang Sect is one of the Taoist traditions of Emperor Zhenwu.
Besides, it is true that only Emperor Zhenwu might not understand this method of concealing the secrets of heaven.
Seeing Qi Zhengyan's slightly questioning look on her and Ruan Yushu's eyes, Meng Qi nodded: "I'm not sure yet. If we meet again later, I'll give it a try using the 'Great Technique of Transforming the Sky and Strike the Earth'."
"We will protect you." Jiang Zhiwei said confidently.
Because he is not sure whether he is a living dead, Meng Qi's method of changing the sky and striking the earth may not be effective. If he were alone, he would not take the risk unless he was really desperate or had another way to escape. But now with Jiang Zhiwei and Qi Zhengyan, even if it fails
, it will not fall into despair even if it suffers backlash.
Ruan Yushu also said:
"Don't worry, I will keep an eye on your situation with Shang Yi after I return. If there is any trouble, Shang Yi's magical power will be able to arrive in time!"
Meng Qi's eyes lit up when he heard this and said:
"Thank you very much!"
Ruan Yushu waved his hand and said:
"It's just about helping each other. I also hope that when you grow up in the future, you will help my Ruan family regain the Du Ren Qin!"
They were all very familiar with each other, not to mention having read the Divine Weapon Manual, so Ruan Yushu did not deliberately conceal the news that Du Renqin was missing!
Meng Qi, Jiang Zhiwei and Qi Zhengyan suddenly looked solemn and said:
"We will definitely do our best by then!"
Then the four of them talked about the spiritual method of changing the sky and striking the earth, the spiritual consciousness of the living dead, and the memory of reincarnation.
Qi Zhengyan sighed slightly: "I didn't expect that the 'Great Technique of Transforming the Sky and Strike the Earth' is so miraculous and can actually awaken deep memories."
Who would have thought that a spiritual magic that just happens to be on the outside has such incredible uses?
Even if it has almost no other effect, that alone is worth the good work!
Hearing this, Meng Qi said with a smile: "Senior Brother Qi, do you want to give it a try? Maybe after awakening the deep memory, you found out that you are really my cousin? And it can also awaken the incomplete memory of past reincarnations. Maybe you were still my cousin in the previous life.
?Really don’t want to give it a try?”
Qi Zhengyan's face twitched, he turned his head and looked away, his hand holding the dragon-patterned red gold sword tighter and tighter.
Ruan Yushu observed the surroundings coldly and casually said: "Aren't you always worried about Ananda? You can try it on yourself after you master it."
"I can't awaken the incomplete memory of my previous reincarnation, so I can only look for the person I'm destined for, and I've entangled many reincarnated people. By awakening his memory fragments, I can inspire myself and go through reincarnation again." Meng Qi looked like he was deeply shocked.
This kind of person is rare but rare.
Jiang Zhiwei, who was thinking next to him, suddenly said: "Something is wrong. The living dead just now had a unique feeling of interior and exterior scenes. They were considered to be strong men at the level of exterior scenes, but their performance was not even as good as half a step of exterior scenes. They had no pressure, no power, and could only
Causing the spread of yin fire, it is different from Ningzhou heroes."
"Yes, his body is also rotten." Meng Qi immediately recalled this and became increasingly uncertain about his own judgment.
At this time, Jiang Zhiwei found something left in the hole on the ground. He picked it up with his sword. It was a jade pendant with an inscription on it.
It is infected by Yin energy and is mottled gray and white.
"It's been a long time." The Ruan family was founded on Qin Dao, and its humanities were at its peak, so Ruan Yushu was very good at identifying jade pendants.
The words on the jade pendant were similar to those in the main world. Although Meng Qi felt confused, he still read it:
"Hometown of the Sun, Huanggang."
What a domineering name... Meng Qi couldn't help but sneered when thinking of Huanggang.
Everyone looked at each other in confusion. None of them knew where the land of the sun was or Huanggang, so they had no choice but to put away the jade pendant and look elsewhere.
"There are small words in the coffin." After a while, Qi Zhengyan found the clue.
Meng Qi and others gathered around and found that there were words on both sides of the inner wall of the coffin. The right side of the coffin was originally full of small seals, but they were all erased and they could only barely identify a few:
"...Sun...True solution..." Ruan Yushu read out in a low voice.
Jiang Zhiwei thought for a while: "Think of it as a practice article."
Meng Qi turned to look at the other side, where there was a twisted and ugly line of words, similar to the words on the jade pendant:
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "There is a ghost here, don't take anything!"
Every word was written crookedly, as if someone whose hands were not in control had used all his strength to write, which made Meng Qi feel a chill in his heart.
Judging from the text, it should have been written by the living dead just now. It can make a strong person who communicates with the world and the outside world be so scared that there is a "ghost". How weird and terrifying must it be?
"It was carved with fingernails. It was carved in the coffin." Jiang Zhiwei observed carefully for a while and made a judgment.
Ruan Yushu went further: "Every word is different, and the traces left on the coffin also have varying degrees of decay. It must have taken more than a hundred years, and every time a stroke was carved, it became a word."
More than a hundred years, years apart... A picture immediately emerged in Meng Qi's mind, a living dead person imprisoned by evil spirits, lying quietly in a coffin. Every ten years, or more, he briefly regained his consciousness or body.
Memory, relying on instinct or persistence, uses fingernails to carve words on the inner wall.
Each recovery time was very short, and only one word or a few strokes could be engraved. As time passed, a warning was finally left for future generations.
Just thinking about such a scene makes Meng Qi and others shudder.
"Diquan Ganoderma." Ruan Yushu looked at the mustard seed ring, and his cold voice seemed to be deep and drifting under the change of Yin Qi.
Meng Qi snorted: "Don't be afraid, anyway, it will be exchanged for the Lord of Six Paths of Reincarnation. The 'evil ghost' will pull him into the mausoleum if he can!"
Besides, I still have a green lantern in front of the Buddha and a treasured thunder sword, which makes it difficult for evil spirits to invade.
Everyone has rich experience and has even entered Lingshan Mountain. How can they be easily frightened by evil spirits? Everyone nodded when they heard this.
Suddenly, Meng Qi patted the back of his right hand with his left hand: "I know why the living dead just now clearly has the realm of outdoor scenes, but can't even show half of the strength of outdoor scenes!"
Without waiting for Jiang Zhiwei and others to speak, he thought to himself: "He is a living dead, not a zombie. The longer time passes, the more powerful he becomes. His body is slowly decaying and developing into a real dead person."
"After hundreds of years, it can still reach its current level. I'm afraid it was extremely powerful back then."
"Yes, the Ningzhou hero 'passed away' only about ten years ago." Jiang Zhiwei agreed.
After discussing for a while, the four of them continued to move forward, maintaining the same formation.
After passing through this tomb, there is another corridor. There are no murals on both sides, and they are pale.
It became darker and darker as he walked, and the light that had come from nowhere completely disappeared. The darkness in Meng Qi's eyes was so deep that he could only rely on the magic of opening his eyes to find the way.
Qi Zhengyan took out the fire stick and lit it, and then the light appeared. A gust of wind came out of thin air and blew it out.
Several times in a row, Meng Qi and others tried several methods, but no matter how they covered and blocked the fire, the fire would go out, and in the end, it would not even burn!
"Be careful." Meng Qi said in a deep voice, and the thunder sword of the treasure weapon was entangled with lightning, illuminating the way forward.
Thunder snakes rise and fall one after another, and the front is suddenly bright and dark, making it even more eerie.
"There is a large tomb ahead." Meng Qi recalled what was on the map.
As soon as he finished speaking, under the silvery white light, the end of the corridor appeared in front of him. It was a closed stone door with ancient seal characters written on it.
"Under the Nine Springs." Jiang Zhiwei read, without trembling at all with the White Rainbow Sun-piercing Sword in her hand.
Ruan Yushu pursed her lips. As a little girl, she was still a little scared deep down.
Meng Qi held his sword across his chest and pushed open the stone door with the sword in its sheath in his left hand.
A heavy clanking sound sounded, sharp and harsh, and a faint silvery white light shone from the tomb chamber.
Through the half-open stone door, Meng Qi saw a majestic tomb. It was like a palace. The dome above was not a stone, but a curtain of water. The sound of gurgling was endless, flowing out of thin air.
There is a strange jade tablet in the center of the palace, which shines like moonlight and reflects the water curtain above it with sparkling light, making the entire tomb like a dream.
The jade stele is engraved with small characters, only a few characters are slightly larger, like titles.
"The True Secret of Taiyin Conquering Demons." Jiang Zhiwei, who was standing side by side with Meng Qi, also saw the jade stele and read out the row of larger ancient seal characters.
"The name sounds like one of the techniques left behind by Emperor Zhenwu." Meng Qi thought of Emperor Zhenwu's title of "The Patriarch of the Nine Heavens of Demon Danger" from the word "Dang Mo".
Although it is definitely not the best part, given the status of Emperor Zhenwu, no matter how bad the skills left behind are, there are still exterior scenes!
Ruan Yushu said calmly: "I haven't seen any records."
"Perhaps it was lost in ancient times." Qi Zhengyan guessed.
Although he said it was a guess, Meng Qi felt that there was certainty in his words.
The four of them stepped into the tomb and walked directly to the jade tablet engraved with "The True Secret of Taiyin Dang Demon".
The moonlight is rippling, and the entire tomb is like a moon palace.
Behind Meng Qi and the others, a "moonlight" twisted and suddenly transformed into a human form, with hair disheveled, hands turned into claws, and pounced on Qi Zhengyan, who was the last person.
The visitor's hands were pale and his nails were extremely long, which condensed the moonlight and brought severe cold.
Between the claws, ice condensed, the storm howled, and the snowflakes not only disturbed the vision, but also seemed to freeze the soul and cut the body.
When the "Moonlight Figure" pounced, the green light in front of the Buddha on Meng Qi's chest swayed for a moment, then he turned around and stabbed him.
The knife was like lightning, swift and unparalleled. When I saw it just now, it had already struck between the two claws.
when!
Thunder exploded and shattered the ice. Qi Zhengyan's long sword resembled a dragon, carrying the deep cold that was frozen in the place, and pierced the visitor's forehead.
Jiang Zhiwei took a step forward and guarded Ruan Yushu first, using her long sword to stir up the warm wind to resist the severe cold.
Ruan Yushu popped up the "Mantra for the Liberation of the Past Life", and the sound reached my ears, like the sound of Zen or the chanting of Taoism.
This time, in order to truly test the fighting power of the living dead, she did not use the power of death.
The "Moonlight Figure" looks both alive and dead, and is also a living dead. There are rotten spots on his neck, and his strength is roughly equal to that of half a step outside.
Hearing the sound of the piano, he suddenly paused as he was about to merge into the moonlight and launch a surprise attack.
Seizing the opportunity, Meng Qi's temperament changed, taking on the strange charm of a god and a demon, blending with the world and looking down at reincarnation.
A deep and waveless sea appears, with golden light hidden deep, like collected sunlight, surrounded by black mist, covering and binding everything.
Meng Qi tried his best to awaken the memory fragments.
The waves rise and fall, and the golden light jumps, trying to break away from the black mist.
Suddenly, the black mist subsided and turned into a human figure, wearing a black robe and a crown of peace, with a pale face and deep eyes, looking sideways at Meng Qi.
Just at this glance, Meng Qi's head felt like it was struck by lightning, and he was in excruciating pain. He screamed, his nosebleed spurted out, his ears buzzed, and he could no longer sense the ocean of his soul!
"Emperor Zhenwu?"
Meng Qi's nosebleed spurted wildly, and blood overflowed from the corners of his eyes and mouth. The pain penetrated deep into his bone marrow. He felt dizzy and blended with the heaven and earth. The feeling of looking down like a god and demon disappeared immediately, and the hands holding the sword and the Ziwu Sword trembled violently.
At the same time, a howl with endless hatred and anger erupted from the ground, echoing in everyone's souls.
It seems to be hidden deep in the mausoleum, under the real nine springs. Due to the awakening of the soul by Meng Qi's "magic method of changing the sky and striking the earth", it feels violated and revives with anger, which makes people shudder.
"唳~~~"
A cry suddenly awakened several people from their confusion. It was at the critical moment that the black bird's cry protected everyone's souls.
The "living dead" who can blend into the moonlight still seem alive and dead, with weak breath and no signs of madness. It seems that the "magic of changing the sky and striking the earth" is useless.
However, "it" still stagnated significantly, allowing Jiang Zhiwei and others to see clearly what "it" looked like.
This is a woman with disheveled white hair and deep wrinkles, but her clothes are elegant and graceful, like an old lady from a big family.
Her eyes glowed silvery white, like two bright moons. Just standing there, the surrounding temperature dropped a lot. She was definitely a strong person who could not be underestimated when she was alive, but now her neck is rotten and pus is flowing, and she can only perform an ordinary half step.
The level of the exterior scenes is as if someone has imprisoned the soul alive in a body that will rot and die, and it is difficult to escape.
Given the opportunity, how could Qi Zhengyan, who had already made a move, let it go? Suddenly, the sword light suddenly surged from the tip of the "Dragon Marked Red Gold Sword", and it shot out three feet of sword light!
The sword light was crystal clear, condensed and bright, as if it had been melted by thousands of years of ice. It crossed the final distance in one go and stabbed the living dead between the eyebrows.
At this moment, a bolt of lightning lit up, rushing from a distance, and was blocked in an instant, illuminating the moon palace-like tomb as if it were daylight.
Meng Qi could barely recognize that it was a spear, but the speed was too fast. It was countless times faster than the "Aurora Electric Sword" Xiao Zhenhai's sword, and completely exceeded Meng Qi's ability. Just as he felt it, it
It's so far in front of you that you don't even have the chance to raise your sword to parry. Although it's not as thunderous as real thunder, it's not ordinary!
Within his line of sight, lightning leaped, filling Meng Qi's pupils with silvery white.
In front of it, I and others were like clay puppets.
Suddenly, a sword light lit up, like a startling giant, like flying clouds, it was so beautiful that the void shook, and the heaven and earth changed with it. There was no one, no self, no object, no form.
The sword energy surged, and the moonlight in the tomb was directly cut off, making it half bright and half dark. Apart from that, there were no sword marks caused by induction. It seemed that the internal force of the sword energy was highly condensed and did not leak out at all.
The sky exploded with light, the east wind blew thousands of trees into bloom at night, the sword energy overflowed, and the lightning flashed randomly. The ground and walls were either scorched black or scarred, showing signs of destruction.
Bang!
Boom!
It wasn't until all this happened that Meng Qi and others heard the sound of swords and spears clashing, as well as the rolling thunder.
