The group of three people continued to move forward. The road in the middle was just like what Tantai Ying said, which was exactly twenty miles. At first, the messy footsteps of the Eagle Guards could still be seen. The further back they went, the smaller the footprints became.
Less, eventually it disappeared, as if it had been erased by something.
Soon, the three of them came to the end, which was also a dead end.
"It shouldn't be like this. Even if it is a mausoleum, it should have a tomb chamber. We cannot say that this is an unfinished mausoleum with only three tomb passages." Qi Xuansu said while looking at the earthen wall in front of him.
Wu Niang said, "Let me come."
Before Qi Xuansu could agree, Wuniang had already taken action, and a horizontal pillar of fire struck the earth wall in front. Under the blazing high temperature, the soil directly crystallized, and Wuniang used the flames to create a crystallized passage.
It seems that just as Tantai Ying said, the excavation of this seemingly unfinished passage stopped here, and the front is solid.
However, Wuniang does not believe in evil, or she firmly believes that if she is strong enough, miracles can happen.
Therefore, instead of stopping the flames to open a path, Wu Niang increased the firepower and continued to burn the soil into crystals, extending the crystallized path forward for about two miles.
Then Qi Xuansu discovered that he had gotten through.
Separated by two miles of soil, there is a cave on the other side. .??.
It cannot be said that Tantai Ying is wrong. Two miles is equivalent to one thousand meters for Westerners. With such a thickness, it is difficult to say that it is not solid. With such a long distance, it is reasonable to dig into another adjacent tomb.
Qi Xuansu actually didn't like this kind of investigative experience. He preferred to fight with people instead of solving mysteries here. He couldn't help but secretly think that Chen Jianchou should be brought here.
The three of them passed through this cramped crystal passageway that only allowed one person to bend forward, and came to the other side, where they discovered that it was an underground palace.
In the middle of the palace is an altar, and above the altar there is a small mountain of corpses - probably made up of about forty corpses, all of which have turned into skinny mummies, twisted and hideous, but judging from their clothing,
, it is the Eagle Guard who has been missing for a long time.
They were sacrificed.
These Divine Eagle Guards are all people with advanced cultivation, and the quality of their souls is higher than that of ordinary people.
An ordinary living soul is worth the output of a thousand ordinary believers who are not so devout in one year. How can one Eagle Guard be worth ten, which is the output of ten thousand ordinary believers in a year.
One hundred Eagle Guards is the output of one million ordinary believers in one year.
Calculated into devout core believers, there are one hundred thousand people.
This number becomes very scary.
Maybe for Daomen, this is just a small number, only one million. There are more than that many people in Jinling Mansion, not to mention that Jinling Mansion is only in the south of the Yangtze River.
Jiangnan is only a part of the Central Plains, and there are many overseas territories outside the Central Plains.
Don’t forget, the Taoist sect needs to use its divine power to support a huge army of spiritual officers, including twelve first-grade spiritual officers at the pseudo-immortal level and seventy-two second-grade spiritual officers. There are even more third-grade spiritual officers, not counting Qi Xuansu.
This kind of Taoist priest consumes a lot of divine power.
Therefore, the consumption of Daomen is also huge.
For a specific person, it is difficult to obtain so much divine power in a short period of time.
With so much divine power, what are the people behind the scenes going to do?
Moreover, the divine power obtained through blood sacrifice carries the fire of karma, and is in danger of falling.
This result cannot be said to be so unexpected, but it is followed by many incomprehensible things.
How do these condor guards pass through a kilometer-long earth barrier? Not all of them can master the art of earth escape.
Who built this altar?
Qi Xuansu carefully observed the underground palace and the altar, and then he found that the styles of the two could not be said to be incompatible, but they were also in strong conflict. It can be concluded that the temple was built first and the altar was built later.
Qi Xuansu approached the altar. Since it was a sacrifice, there must be a clear direction. Usually, some obvious signs would be left, such as the holy emblem corresponding to the god.
Qi Xuansu found no corresponding symbols around the base of the altar, so he had to move the corpse on the altar to reveal a holy emblem in the center of the altar.
It's not the scythe, bones, and raven's holy symbol of Samuel, but a black sun.
Wu Niang also came to the altar, looked down and said, "Where did this holy symbol come from? I have never seen it when I was in the Southern Continent. Is it really the symbol of Sirila?"
Qi Xuansu checked the corpses of the Divine Eagle Guards again and found that these corpses indeed had black sun tattoos on their bodies, which were exactly the same as the corpses parked in the Juesheng Church.
Qi Xuansu let out a long sigh, "Let's go to the other two forks and take a look."
Next, the three of them returned to the fork in the road and went to the left road, which was the road where Tantai Ying picked up the obsidian knife.
At the end, it is still a dead end, with only unfinished earth walls.
Wu Niang signaled the two of them to retreat and prepared to repeat the same trick.
"What's wrong?" Wu Niang's palms were already burning with colorful flames, eager to try.
Qi Xuansu
It was not a random move. Just at that moment, the "Return to Tibet Light" that had been silent suddenly came into effect.
But this time, instead of seeing the future, I saw the past.
Although the earth energy here has been chaotic and it is impossible to trace the earth energy back, the "Guizang Lamp" is not affected by the earth energy. It looks at the past and future in a higher level and higher dimension.
At this moment, Qi Xuansu saw thirty or so Eagle Guards coming to the end of this passage. They were confused and with gray faces, like walking zombies, and then they walked towards the earth wall that was already a dead end.
At this moment, the earth wall came to life and began to squirm, like a soft-bodied species like a slug, filled with juice.
The first condor came into contact with the earth wall and was swallowed directly. It was as if it was squeezed by some external force and forced through the film and entered the mucus. However, the film was not damaged.
Very magical.
The Condor Guard who entered it continued to move forward muddleheadedly in the mucus, and the Condor Guard behind it passed through the membrane and entered it in the same way.
Now, Qi Xuansu finally knew how these condor guards passed through the thick soil. It was not that the condor guards could use the earth escape method, but that there was something strange about these soil layers.
These layers of soil are alive, like a giant translucent slug that is one thousand meters long. It can disguise itself as a layer of soil, but it is this slug that blocks the road.
Moreover, this slug seems to be able to move, erasing the footprints of the Eagle Guards as it squirms.
Wu Niang had violently opened the way before, probably killing a giant slug directly, and the flames directly evaporated everything, turning it into crystals.
This is no wonder Wu Niang, who would have thought that such a thing existed in the world.
In fact, in the early years, there were many similar ghosts in the Central Plains. They cannot be explained clearly. They may be some legendary beasts. They adapted to the changes of the times, followed the development trend of the times, and also developed
They came up with some new tricks, pretended to be gods and ghosts, boasted about magic, and tried to do harm to all human beings at every turn. They had stared at the world for hundreds of millions of years, and they actually started to spread their religion.
People in the world don't know the inside story and believe it to be true. They regard it as an indescribable god and worship it. They often cause some cruel and strange events, which have a very bad impact. But these people don't think about it, they really have such power.
Where is the use of hiding one's head and showing one's tail?
After Taoism defeated Buddhism, it was finally free to deal with these things. Throughout the entire tenure of the three generations of great masters, while developing the economy, they never stopped dealing with these monsters and monsters, cleaning up all kinds of mud and muddy water hidden in dark corners and crevices.
, even without hesitation
Then Tiangangtang was used, and later the tradition of Tiangangtang targeting secret societies was also left at this time.
The final result is remarkable. These things are rarely seen in the Central Plains today, and only a few of the large and small associations that were originally as small as cow hair are left with ancient immortals as their backers.
In the generation of Taoist priests like Qi Xuansu, monsters were very rare and dragons were almost extinct, not to mention these things. They had little contact with them. For them, the biggest enemy was human beings.
However, the Southern Continent is different. It is still in a wild state and there are still many undiscovered secrets.
After coming back to his senses, Qi Xuansu said softly, "This is a living slug, let's call it a slug."
Wu Niang was startled, "Slug?"
Immediately, Wu Niang spread her spiritual thoughts and began to explore the things in front of her. Then she was a little shocked, "This southern continent is really evil, there is such a ghost thing. However, this reminds me of a past incident, that was our
What happened when I first arrived in the Southern Continent.”
Qi Xuansu asked, "What's the matter?"
Wu Niang slowly said, "At that time, in the Central Plains, Southern Continent, Nanyang and other places where Taoist people set foot, a way of cultivating immortals was spread, known as the inner alchemy sect. It was said that swallowing a special elixir could greatly increase the cultivation level.
Some people call this kind of elixir the 'Foundation-Building Pill'. After taking the so-called 'Foundation-Building Pill', you can build the foundation. Then there are other things like refining qi and condensing liquid. You can quickly form the elixir and enter the so-called metal.
Dan period.”
Tan Taiying couldn't help but said, "The so-called golden elixir, gold, is a strong and everlasting thing; elixir is a perfect, bright, pure and undefeated thing. The ancient immortals borrowed the name of the golden elixir to describe the nature of the original enlightened true spirit.
.This nature is called Tai Chi in Confucianism, Yuanjue in Buddhism, and Jindan in Taoism. Although it has three names, it is actually one thing. If it is cultivated by Confucianism, it will become a saint, if it is cultivated by Buddhism, it will become a Buddha, and if it is cultivated by Taoism, it will be a sage.
Fairy."
"The so-called golden elixir road uses the body as a furnace, the essence and air in the body as bait, and the spirit as fire. If the three are unified, you can achieve immortality. What the hell is this elixir? The golden elixir is not alchemy, so is it still possible?
Do you want to cultivate an elixir in your body? The golden elixir is a state that cannot be seen or touched. It is an abstract concept rather than a specific thing. What constitutes a golden elixir is just a matter of words for a layman.
If you only know the literal meaning of what you create, it will be far-fetched."
Wuniang agreed that this statement was indeed far-fetched. Later we discovered that the so-called elixirs are actually insect eggs, the so-called cultivation process is actually the process of hatching insect eggs in the body, and the so-called formation of golden elixirs is actually the cocoon of larvae.
When the so-called Dan Po gives birth to a Nascent Soul, the larvae breaks out of the cocoon and becomes an adult insect. At the stage of the adult insect, the internal organs are eaten away by the adult insect, leaving an immortal body empty. The whole person becomes the puppet of the insect, and most of the medicine is useless.
