casket of old days

Chapter 497 Origin of Inaction
The moon was in the middle of the sky, and under the billowing clouds and mist, the mountains were pitch black.

Only the archaeological site arranged by Chu Qiguang was filled with braziers, illuminating the surroundings brightly.

Dozens of Dharma protectors will wave their knives, guns and sticks, digging up the rock layer by layer.

Surrounded by the soldiers of Zhenma Division, they carefully cleaned up the mud and sand, and transported away the excavated earth one by one by the way.

At the entrance of the construction site, there was also a two-meter-high golden statue of Taoist Xuanyuan. In front of the golden statue were placed sticks of incense paper and sacrificial pigs, cattle and sheep.

Whether it is soldiers, Tiqi, scholars, or tomb robbers, they will pray to Taoist Xuanyuan before and after entering and leaving, and bless them for safety.

Chu Qiguang stood on the cliff in the distance, condescending, and could clearly see the situation of the entire construction site.

His gaze swept across the huge pothole in the center of the construction site, where obvious man-made structures emerged little by little with the excavation.

Chu Qiguang said casually: "How is the excavation work? Have you figured out what kind of tomb this is?"

Behind him, the scholar he summoned from the nearby prefectural city wiped the sweat from his brow, and said cautiously:
"At present, we have opened the first door of the tomb. Judging from the patterns in it, there are deer, sea pomegranate, lotus, peony and other objects. This painting style is obviously the pattern of Xia Dynasty porcelain."

"The shape of the tomb here is extremely high, the area is huge, and the mountain is dug into a mausoleum. This is the style of thick burial in the early days of the Great Xia."

Chu Qiguang's eyes moved slightly: "The tomb in the early days of Daxia?"

He said: "You must attach great importance to this archaeological work, insist on discussing history with objects, and see people through objects."

"Archaeology is not only related to the cognitive research on the history of our human race, but also related to the exploration of the origin and development of our human civilization."

"Remember not to damage the needles and threads in the tomb, so that our descendants can also see the cultural treasures left by these ancestors."

"In particular, all kinds of materials, documents, and albums in the tomb must be well preserved, and there must be no mistakes. If anyone doesn't listen to you, tell me directly, and I will kill him."

Several scholars looked at Chu Qiguang in surprise, what the other party said was beyond their expectations.

Originally, they thought that the digging of tombs organized by imperial eagles like Zhenmensi must be for the treasures in the tombs.

But he didn't expect that Chu Qiguang asked them to keep the things in the tomb well, and he didn't ask about all kinds of funerary objects at all.

As if guessing what the scholars were thinking, Chu Qiguang said casually, "I'm not short of money. The price of the gold, silver, jade and the like in the tomb is insignificant to me."

"The main purpose of this archaeological activity is to explore ancient cultures. You don't have to worry about doing it."

Hearing this, several scholars looked at Chu Qiguang with a hint of respect in their eyes.

Then the archaeological work continued, and the archaeological team gradually discovered various traps such as poisonous gas, quicksand, traps, kerosene, and falling rocks during exploration.

However, the archaeological team at this moment has gathered thousands of people, and there is the Dharma Guardian God General Li Lei summoned by Chu Qiguang in front of him. It can be said that manpower, logistics, and materials are all sufficient to the extreme.

These organs of the ancient tomb are only designed for sporadic tomb robbers, and they are completely useless in front of such an army.

As the multiple walls of the tomb, the antechamber, and the burial room were cleared out one by one, more and more information was summed up in front of Chu Qiguang by scholars.

"Based on the size and shape of the funeral objects, the owner of the tomb is probably a senior official of the Xia Dynasty..."

"The colorful paintings in the tomb describe the achievements of the owner of the tomb, including beheading demons, compiling scriptures and history, and promoting capable ministers..."

"We found a triangular sacrificial vessel among the funerary objects. It seems to be a sacrificial vessel of the Wuwei Sect. This high-ranking official may have believed in the Wuwei Sect..."

"Although Wuwei Sect is classified as a cult in today's Dahan, it was not the case in Daxia. At that time, the ministers in the court believed in different sects, and it was very common..."

At this moment, the main hall of the tomb was finally opened, but there was nothing to be seen in it except the bottomless darkness, which even the flames could not break through.

The Dharma protector will enter it, and contact will be lost soon.

Some animals were brought into it with ropes, but after being dragged out, they fell into a coma, but it seemed that there was nothing serious on the surface.

Then they sent a few more tomb robbers into it, and they also fell into a coma after being dragged out with a rope. After waking them up, none of them remembered what happened.

'Is it a ghost land?But it seems that this tomb ghost is not too fierce. '

According to Zhenmosi's data, tomb ghosts are the most powerful of many ghosts, and they are also the ghosts that Chu Qiguang can only supersede after entering the fourth chapter of "The Record of Ten Thousand Ghosts".

After a series of experiments, Chu Qiguang decided to go in and see the situation himself.

But before going in, he first recruited Lin Lan with the technique of "spiritual seance".

Accompanied by a gust of dark wind rolling in, pouring into his body, Chu Qiguang's muscles also trembled instinctively, just like ordinary people being blown by cold wind.

Then Lin Lan's voice rang out, turning into a chill and spreading to Chu Qiguang's whole body: "Who do you think I am?"

Chu Qiguang comforted: "Xiao Lan, am I not here for us to stay together forever? As long as I deal with this ghost in front of me, my cultivation can go further, and then we will be able to stay together day and night."

Lin Lan snorted triumphantly, looked at the ghost scene in the main hall in front of her, and frowned: "What a powerful guy, I can't see through him."

But the next moment she laughed again: "But he doesn't seem to wake up yet, this is a good opportunity."

"After you go in, don't act rashly. It's best to find out what supernatural powers he has first."

After being reminded by Lin Lan, Chu Qiguang first shunned everyone in front of and behind the main hall, then opened the door of the Buddhist world, and brought in a few laborers.

Tie a hemp rope around your waist, and hand the hemp rope to the laborers behind the gate of the Buddhist realm.

Chu Qiguang pointed to the censer on the ground and said, "If I can't come out after the incense is burned, you can let the laborers pull me out."

Zhou Yujiao's voice came from the darkness of the Buddhist world: "I know, I will pull you out after the incense burns."

After finishing the order, Chu Qiguang took a deep breath, stepped out and entered the endless darkness of the main hall.

The next moment, it was as if a large bowl of oil had been poured into the brazier.

The darkness in front of him shook violently, like layers of clouds and mist rolling wildly.

Lin Lan said coldly: "Be careful, he woke up..."

But before Lin Lan continued, Chu Qiguang was completely swallowed by the darkness.

Light and shadow flowed, and when Chu Qiguang came back to his senses again, he had already appeared in a huge library.

In front of me are rows of bookshelves that can't be seen at a glance.

"Is this the inside of the tomb?"

"The space has been changed?"

"Xiao Lan..."

"Xiao Lan?"

Chu Qiguang rubbed his eyebrows, feeling a little troublesome.

He clasped his hands together, but there was no response.

'Buddhist world can't be opened? '

But at the same time, he could feel the burning heat coming from his chest like a volcanic eruption.

At this moment, an old voice sounded behind him: "Chunyi...help me bring the "Moving Volume"."

Chu Qiguang was slightly taken aback, and just wanted to turn around to see who the old man called him was.

But just the thought of turning back suddenly gave him a chill in his heart.

Then he turned his head a little, only to see a vague black shadow from the corner of his eye, and the chill instantly spread all over his body.

'If you turn around and see the old man... something very bad will happen. '

When such a thought came to his mind, Chu Qiguang simply kept his position and gave up his intention to check on the old man.

As for Chu Qiguang's rear, it seemed that he didn't feel Chu Qiguang's reaction. The old man said again: "Chunyi? Didn't you hear what I said?"

"Hurry up and get the "Fudo Volume"."

With the urging of the old man, a chill suddenly rose from the soles of his feet.

Even with the strength of Chu Qiguang's qi and blood, he still felt a feeling of being about to freeze.

'This old guy... is stronger than Lin Lan? '

'Is he the ghost of this tomb? '

'You can't confront him head-on, you have to figure out what his abilities are. '

Chu Qiguang immediately returned: "I heard it, I'll go get it right away."

"En." With a soft reply, the old man seemed to focus on the book in front of him again.

Chu Qiguang felt the chill on his body gradually dissipate, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

But looking at the endless bookshelf in front of him, he couldn't help but feel troubled: "Where is this "Fudo Volume"?"

At the same time, the scorching heat from the Ring of Fool in his chest became more and more intense.

Even if he faced so many ancient books on the second floor of the big library, or in the Tianyi Pavilion of the Han Dynasty, Chu Qiguang at that time did not feel so excited by the Ring of Fool.

He looked at the rows of books on the bookshelf, and thought to himself: "Is there anything special about the books here?"

"The Ring of Fool is so excited?"

His eyes swept over the bookshelves, and after a few random rows, he could vaguely see some titles on the spines of the sides of these books:
"Ten Powers of the Tathagata", "Nine Heavens Slaying Demons and Thunder Jue", "Major Sutra of Zhengyimeng", "Explanation from Beyond the Heavens", "On the Buddha's Unbelievable Laws", "Heaven and Earth Magic Mind Intangible Heart Knife", "36 Swords of the Holy Spirit" "Law", "Wanlihong"...

'However, it looks very powerful. '

Chu Qiguang looked at the rows of book titles, and felt that each one was more bluffing than the other. He subconsciously wanted to take out one to have a look.

But the old man's voice sounded again, urging: "Chunyi! What are you dawdling about? Hurry up!"

Accompanied by the old man's urging, a more turbulent chill rose from the soles of his feet.

But this time, even though Chu Qiguang agreed to go immediately, the chill did not dissipate immediately, but entrenched from the soles of the feet to the ankles, and never dissipated.

A hint of understanding surged in Chu Qiguang's heart: "It seems that every urging will intensify the chill in my body..."

As for the coldness covering the whole body, what will happen in the end, although Chu Qiguang doesn't know, he can feel that it is definitely not a good thing.

'But there are so many books, how can I find the "Moving Volume?" ""

Chu Qiguang's eyes quickly scanned the rows of bookshelves in front of him, and the titles of each book jumped into his mind.

With the old man's urging again, the chill had spread to his knees.

During Chu Qiguang's rapid thinking, a flash of understanding flashed in his eyes: "The bookshelves here seem to be sorted according to the pronunciation." '

Because when Chu Qiguang was studying and writing at the University of Sinology, he had never been exposed to phonetic notation and phonetic symbols similar to pinyin.

So he originally thought that there was no such thing in this world, and when he looked at the bookshelves in front of him, he didn't think of it for the first time.

But at this moment, comparing the titles of the books on the bookshelf, he could feel that they were arranged in a certain order according to the pronunciation of the titles.

The next moment, Chu Qiguang started to run quickly, his eyes swept across the bookshelves like lightning, and the old man's urging came again and again, and the chill gradually spread to his waist and abdomen.

At this moment, Chu Qiguang stretched out his hand to grab it, and finally pulled out a book, on which was written "Moving Volume".

Chu Qiguang hurriedly sent the book over. He didn't dare to look at the old man along the way, so he could only trot all the way to the old man with his head down, and handed the book over.

He took the "Moving Volume" handed over by him with one hand, and Chu Qiguang felt a slippery and moist feeling when he touched it slightly.

Immediately afterwards, the old man's voice came again: "Well, I took it right."

The chill that had already spread to his waist gradually dissipated, and Chu Qiguang was slightly relieved.

He tentatively said, "Can I look at the books on the shelf?"

There was silence.

Just when Chu Qiguang thought that he had failed, or triggered something bad, the old man's voice sounded again: "Chunyi, go and read "Questions and Answers on Inaction", as a teacher, I will test you later."

Chu Qiguang frowned slightly, and he didn't know whether his conversation just now triggered this reaction, or if the old man planned to say that in the first place.

He turned and left, and when he passed a row of bookshelves, he tried to touch a copy of "Heaven and Earth Demonic Invisible Heart Knife".

As a result, just as the hand was about to touch it, the hoarse voice of the old man rang out: "Chunyi! I asked you to read "Questions and Answers of Wuwei", don't take it by mistake."

With the old man's reminder, Chu Qiguang felt the chill begin to spread from his feet again.

He could only immediately give up his plan to touch the book, and turned to find the "Questions and Answers of Wuwei".

When Chu Qiguang picked up "Questions and Answers of Inaction", he felt a scorching heat coming from the circle of foolishness, and immediately understood that the knowledge in it was what the circle of foolishness longed for.

Next, he opened the book and read it carefully, and saw that it said: The holy emperor'trace' will rule the world, end the chaos of demons, and establish a great man.

After the Great Han, there was the Great Zhou.

The Tianshi Mansion was rebuilt by the court of the Great Zhou Dynasty to explore the mystery of the operation of the Dao of Heaven...

After Chu Qiguang read it carefully, he discovered that this book actually explored the origin of Wuwei Cult.

Lines of writing came from the seeker's eyes.

"Questions and Answers of Inaction."

"Books written by historians in the Great Zhou Dynasty."

"Records the origin of Wuwei Sect and the mystery of ascension."

"Since ancient times, ascension to immortality has been one of the long-cherished wishes of seekers."

"But the enlightened people in Wuwei Sect understand that the essence of ascension is not to go, but to escape."

Chu Qiguang still remembered that Tianshi Mansion was supposed to explore the mystery of immortality for the Holy Emperor's trace during the Han Dynasty.

But with the outbreak of the disaster known as Immortality, and the assassination of the Holy Emperor by the Heavenly Sword Sect, the great man fell apart, and the Tianshi Mansion was also missing.

Now according to what is said in this book, in the Great Zhou Dynasty after the Great Han Dynasty, the royal family helped rebuild the Tianshi Mansion.

The Tianshi Mansion specializes in helping the royal family study Taoism.

'Could it also be the study of the mystery of immortality? '

'However, I remember that this Tianshi Mansion seems to be the predecessor of Tianshijiao. In the former Han Dynasty, because of the study of immortality, it split into the Tao of Immortals. '

Chu Qiguang continued to read, and found that the author of this book had even found some historical materials left by the Tianshi Mansion of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

……

The royal family wanted to know how the big man failed.

But some secrets remain secrets for a reason.

Humanity has paid a huge price to turn secrets back into secrets.

Now it will be untied again.

Maybe the so-called souls are just so unrepentant.

……

The cat tribe was the first to discover it.

The Dragon Clan was the first to know.

Buddha first contact.

Dao Zun was the first to communicate.

But according to the last words left by the Holy Emperor, they all failed.

What about us?

……

I saw it, is that the big man's opponent?

Words can no longer describe that thing.

It is impossible for any language to describe the profundity full of roars and ancient madness.

That terrifying thing violated all things, spiritual energy and the order of heaven!

……

Knowledge destroys our body and mind like poison.

But that might be the luckiest thing we've ever had.

As long as life maintains this small body and weak brain, it will never be able to truly comprehend the way of heaven.

Only by shielding oneself in the darkness of ignorance and ignorance can one hide from... hide from their gaze.

But in the near future, they will come eventually, and the terrifying scenes will fill the whole world, and the creatures in the world will usher in an inevitable doomsday.

At that time, we will either turn into monsters completely, or flee, flee to a new darkness, and find a new shelter in ignorance and ignorance.

……

While Chu Qiguang was reading books.

In the Buddhist world, the laborers vigorously dragged the rope out continuously.

But in the end, all they could see was a broken hemp rope, and Chu Qiguang on the other end of the hemp rope had disappeared.

Zhou Yujiao was also slightly taken aback when she saw this scene: "What are you doing?"

"Where's my brother?"

"What about the big Ergou?"

……

On the other side of Chaoyao Mountain.

Lin Lan suddenly raised her head.

The janitor at the side asked cautiously: "What's the matter, Xiaolan?"

Lin Lan frowned, thoughts fluctuating in her mind.

After a long time, she shook her head and said strangely, "I really want to forget something."

"A very important thing."
