heaven money

An inexplicable chill arose in everyone's heart. Was 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, with endless changes between movement and stillness.

With this grab, the entire tomb suddenly burned with dark green fire. The fire spread silently and gathered near the gray-white palm, blocking Meng Qi's evasive route.

Meng Qi had just experienced what happened with the Immortal Life and Death Sect, so he was very wary of anything that suddenly emerged from the ground. Therefore, he was not caught off guard. He pushed hard, flew into the air, turned over and slashed down with his long sword.

Ruan Yushu stroked the zither with his right hand, and the clear and melodious sound echoed in the tomb chamber. The soul-calming sound rang out, and the negative energy in the tomb chamber was attracted by the strings on the green jade flow and gathered on the strings.

A figure came out, but did not attack. Instead, he stood straight in front of Ruan Yushu, as if listening to Ruan Yushu's piano playing, or as if waiting for Ruan Yushu's order!

This is the ability of the string on the Qingyu Flow that contains the power of death. It can not only absorb and gather death energy and yin energy, but can also easily control ghosts or corpses to a certain extent.

The living dead in front of him was just like that. He was easily controlled by Ruan Yushu using the Qingyu Flow.

"What a good trick! Miss Ruan's piano music can save us a lot of trouble!"

Meng Qi was shocked when he saw this and exclaimed in admiration. Then he had an idea. The person who came to attack him gave him a similar feeling as the "Ningzhou Hero". They were both living dead and seemed to be born from the same origin!

"It seems that the person just now was also a living dead, similar to the 'Ningzhou Hero'." Meng Qi said it out loud as he thought of it.

He had previously revealed everything that happened in Yangxia and Maoling.

"Really?" Jiang Zhiwei asked subconsciously, "Could it be that the living dead of the Immortal Life and Death Sect are derived from this ancient method of concealing the secrets of heaven?"

Although Xijian Pavilion is not a Taoist sect, it has inherited one of the Seven Swords of Jietian and the "Taishang Sword Sutra", and has a close relationship with Taoism. Therefore, Jiang Zhiwei did not directly say whether the Shengsi Wuchang Sect could be one of the Taoist traditions of the Zhenwu Emperor. Besides, this method of concealing the secrets of heaven may not be understood by only the Zhenwu Emperor.

Seeing the slightly questioning looks from her, Ruan Yushu, and Qi Zhengyan, Meng Qi nodded: "I'm not sure yet. If I meet him again, I'll try the 'Heaven-Changing and Earth-Strike Technique'."

"We will protect you." Jiang Zhiwei said confidently.

Because he couldn't be sure whether it was a living dead or not, Meng Qi's method of changing the sky and striking the earth might not be effective. If he were alone, he would not risk trying it unless he was really desperate or had another way to escape. But now he had Jiang Zhiwei and Qi Zhengyan, even if he failed and suffered backlash, he would not fall into a desperate situation.

Ruan Yushu also spoke:
"Don't worry, Shang Yi and I will keep an eye on your situation after I return. If there is any trouble, Shang Yi's divine power will enable us to arrive in time!"

Meng Qi's eyes lit up when he heard this.

"Thank you very much!"

Ruan Yushu waved his hand and said:

"We are just helping each other. I also hope that when you grow up, you can help my Ruan family take back the Du Ren Qin!"

Several people were very familiar with it, not to mention that they had already read the Book of Divine Weapons, so Ruan Yushu did not deliberately conceal the news of the loss of the Du Ren Qin!
Meng Qi, Jiang Zhiwei and Qi Zhengyan immediately looked serious 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 'Heaven-Changing and Earth-Strike Technique' is so magical that it can awaken deep memories."

Who could have imagined that a spiritual secret technique that happened to be on location could have such incredible uses?
Even if it has little other effect, this alone is worth the merit!
Hearing this, Meng Qi smiled and said, "Brother Qi, do you want to try? Who knows, after awakening your deep memories, you might find that you are really my cousin? And it can also awaken the incomplete memories of past lives. Maybe you were my cousin in your previous life? Don't you want to give it a try?"

Qi Zhengyan's face twitched, he turned his head to look elsewhere, and his hand holding the dragon-patterned red-gold sword tightened again and again.

Ruan Yushu observed the surroundings calmly, as if casually saying: "Aren't you always worried about Ananda? You can try it on yourself after you have mastered it."

"I cannot awaken the incomplete memories of my past reincarnations. I can only look for someone with whom I am predestined. I have entangled myself with many people who have gone through reincarnations. By awakening their memory fragments, I can stimulate myself and experience reincarnation again." Meng Qi looked devastated. Such a person is hard to come by.

Jiang Zhiwei, who was thinking nearby, suddenly spoke up: "Something is wrong. The living dead just now had a unique feeling of inner scene showing outside. He must be a strong man at the level of outer scene, but he showed that he was not even as good as half a step of outer scene. He had no pressure, no power, and could only cause the Yin Fire to spread. He was different from the Ningzhou hero."

"Yes, his body is also rotten." Meng Qi immediately recalled this and became more and more unsure of his judgment.

At this time, Jiang Zhiwei found something left in the hole on the ground. She picked it up with her sword and found it was a jade pendant with an inscription on it.

It is infected by yin energy and is gray and mottled.

"It's been quite a few years." The Ruan family was founded on the art of playing the zither and was a prosperous cultural family, so Ruan Yushu was very good at identifying jade pendants.

The text on the jade pendant was similar to the current text in the main world. Although Meng Qi felt puzzled, he still read it out:
"The hometown of the sun, Huanggang."

What a domineering name... Thinking of Huanggang, Meng Qi couldn't help but complain in his heart.

Everyone looked at each other, none of them knew where Rizhixiang and Huanggang were, so they had to put the jade pendant away and look elsewhere.

"There are small words in the coffin." After a while, Qi Zhengyan found the clue.

Meng Qi and his companions gathered around and found that there were words on both sides of the inner wall of the coffin. The right side was originally engraved with tiny seal characters, but they were all erased and only a few could be barely recognized:

“…Day…the true explanation…” Ruan Yushu read out in a low voice.

Jiang Zhiwei thought for a moment and said, "It should be a set of exercises."

Meng Qi turned his head and looked to the other side. There was a line of distorted and ugly words, similar to the words on the jade pendant:

"There are ghosts here, don't take anything!"

Every word was crooked, as if a person with uncontrollable hands had used all his strength to write it, 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. How weird and terrifying it is that it can make a powerful outsider who can communicate with heaven and earth be so scared that he says there is a "ghost"?
"It was carved with fingernails, inside the coffin." Jiang Zhiwei observed carefully for a while and made a judgment.

Ruan Yushu went further: "Each word is different, and the marks left on the coffin are also decayed to varying degrees. It must have taken more than a hundred years, with one stroke carved every once in a while, to form a word."

More than a hundred years had passed... A picture immediately emerged in Meng Qi's mind. A living dead person imprisoned by an evil spirit was lying quietly in a coffin. Every ten years, or longer, he would briefly regain consciousness or physical memory, and rely on instinct or persistence to carve words on the inner wall with his fingernails.

Each restoration took very little time, and only a 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 made Meng Qi and others shudder.

"Earth Spring Ganoderma." Ruan Yushu looked at the mustard seed ring, and his cold voice seemed deep and floating under the change of yin energy.

Meng Qi snorted: "Don't be afraid, I'll exchange it for the Lord of the Six Paths of Reincarnation anyway. If the 'evil ghost' has the guts, just drag Him into the mausoleum!"

Besides, he still has the green lamp in front of the Buddha and the precious thunder sword, which can keep away evil.

Everyone had rich experience and had even been to the sacred mountain. How could they be easily frightened by evil spirits? They all 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, who clearly had the realm of the outer scene, couldn't even exert the strength of a half-step outer scene!"

Without waiting for Jiang Zhiwei and the others to speak, he said to himself: "He is a living dead, not a zombie. It is not that the longer time settles, the stronger he will be. His body is slowly rotting and developing into a real dead person."

"After hundreds of years, it is still at the current level. It must have been extremely powerful back then."

"Yes, it's only been ten years since the Ningzhou hero 'passed away'." Jiang Zhiwei agreed.

After discussing for a while, the four continued to move forward, maintaining the same formation.

After passing through this tomb chamber, there is another corridor. There are no murals on both sides, and it is all pale.

It became darker and darker as they walked. The light that had come from nowhere before completely disappeared. The darkness in Meng Qi's eyes was so deep that he could only rely on the magic of his eyes to find his way.

Qi Zhengyan took out a tinderbox and lit it. Just as the light appeared, a gust of cold wind came out of nowhere and blew it out. Meng Qi and others tried several ways to cover and block it, but the tinderbox would go out no matter how they tried to cover and block it. In the end, it didn't even burn!

"Be careful." Meng Qi said in a deep voice, and the lightning sword of his precious weapon was surrounded by electric light, illuminating the way ahead.

The lightning snakes appeared and fell one after another, and the light in front was sometimes bright and sometimes dark, which made it feel more eerie.

"There is a large tomb ahead." Meng Qi recalled the contents on the map.

As soon as he finished speaking, under the silver light, the end of the corridor appeared in front of him. It was a tightly closed stone door with ancient seal characters written on it.

"Under the Nine Springs." Jiang Zhiwei read, and the White Rainbow Piercing Sun Sword in her hand did not tremble at all.

Ruan Yushu pursed her lips. As a little girl, she was still a little scared deep down.

Meng Qi held the sword across his chest and pushed open the stone door with his left hand, scabbard and sword.

A heavy rustling sound was heard, sharp and piercing, and a faint silver-white light shone from the tomb chamber.

Through the half-open stone door, Meng Qi saw a magnificent tomb chamber. It looked like a palace, and the dome above was not made of stone, but of water curtains that flowed in the air with a constant gurgling sound.

In the center of the pavilion there is a peculiar jade stele, shining with moonlight, reflecting the water curtain above, making the entire tomb seem like a dream.

There were tiny characters engraved on the jade stele, with only a few characters that were slightly larger, which seemed to be the title.

"The True Art of Taiyin Exorcism." Jiang Zhiwei, who was standing side by side with Meng Qi, also saw the jade stele and read out the larger column of ancient seal characters.

"The name sounds like one of the skills left behind by the Great Emperor Zhenwu." Meng Qi thought of the title of the Great Emperor Zhenwu, "The Patriarch of the Nine Heavens Demon-Extermination", from the word 'Democracy'.

Although it is definitely not the best part, but the status of Emperor Zhenwu is so high that even if the martial arts he left behind are poor, there are still exterior scenes!

Ruan Yushu said calmly: "I have never seen any records."

“Perhaps it was lost in ancient times.” Qi Zhengyan guessed.

Although it was just a guess, Meng Qi felt that there was certainty in his words.

The four people stepped into the tomb and walked directly to the jade tablet engraved with "Taiyin Dangmo Zhen Jue".

The moonlight ripples and the whole tomb looks like a moon palace.

Behind Meng Qi and the others, a ray of "moonlight" twisted and suddenly transformed into a human form with loose hair and claws, pouncing towards Qi Zhengyan.

The person who came had pale hands and extremely long nails that condensed the moonlight and brought extreme coldness.

Between the claws, ice condensed, the violent wind howled, and snowflakes flew, which not only interfered with the vision, but also seemed to be able to freeze the soul and cut the body.

When the "Moonlight Figure" pounced out, the green lamp in front of the Buddha on Meng Qi's chest flickered, and he turned around and slashed with a knife.

The knife was as fast as lightning. Just now, it had already chopped between the claws.

when!
Thunder exploded, shattering the ice. Qi Zhengyan's long sword was like a dragon, carrying the deep cold that had frozen this place, and pierced towards the center of the visitor's eyebrows.

Jiang Zhiwei took a step forward and protected Ruan Yushu first, and her long sword blew warm wind to resist the cold.

Ruan Yushu played the "Nirvana Liberation Mantra", each sound was pleasing to the ears, like the sound of Zen or Taoist chants.

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" seems to be both alive and dead, and is also a living dead man. There is a rotten part on his neck, and the strength he exerts is roughly equivalent to that of a Half-Step Exterior Scene.

Hearing the sound of the piano, he suddenly slowed down as he was about to blend into the moonlight and launch a surprise attack.

Seizing the opportunity, Meng Qi's temperament changed, taking on the strange charm of a god or devil. He merged with the heaven and earth and looked down at the cycle of reincarnation from a high position.

A deep and calm sea appeared, with golden light hidden deep inside, like collected sunlight. Black fog filled the air all around, enveloping and binding everything.

Meng Qi tried his best to awaken the memory fragments.

The waves rose and fell, and the golden light jumped, trying to break free from the black fog.

Suddenly, the black fog sank and transformed into a human figure wearing a black robe and a flat crown. He had a gaunt face and deep eyes. He turned his head to look at Meng Qi.

Just with this one glance, Meng Qi's head felt as if struck by lightning. He felt excruciating pain and let out a scream. Blood spurted out of his nose and his ears buzzed. He could no longer sense the ocean of his mind!

"Emperor Zhenwu?"

Meng Qi's nose was bleeding profusely, and blood was oozing from the corners of his eyes and mouth. The pain penetrated deep into his bones, and he felt dizzy. He felt as if he was merging with the heaven and earth. The feeling of being looked down upon by a god or demon disappeared immediately, and the hands holding the precious sword and the Ziwu sword trembled violently.

At the same time, a howl filled with endless hatred and anger erupted from the ground, echoing in everyone's soul.

It seemed to be hidden deep in the mausoleum, under the true nine springs. It felt violated by Meng Qi's awakening of the soul with his "Heaven-Changing and Earth-Strike Great Method", and its anger revived, making people shudder.

"唳~~~"

A cry suddenly awakened several people from their trance. It was at the critical moment that the cry of the black bird protected everyone's souls.

The "living dead" who could blend into the moonlight still looked half alive and half dead, with a weak breath and no signs of madness. It seemed that the "Heaven-Changing and Earth-Strike Technique" was useless.

However, "it" still had an obvious stagnation, allowing Jiang Zhiwei and others to see "it" clearly.

This is a woman with loose white hair and deep wrinkles, but her clothes are elegant and graceful, like an old lady in a large family.

Her eyes glowed silvery white, like two bright moons. Just by standing there, the temperature around her dropped a lot. When she was alive, she was definitely a powerful outsider who should not be underestimated. But now her neck was rotten and pus was flowing. She could only perform at the level of an ordinary half-step outsider. It was as if her soul was imprisoned alive in a rotten and dying body, and it was difficult to escape.

Now that there was an opportunity, how could Qi Zhengyan, who had already made a move, let it go? Suddenly, a sword light burst out from the tip of the "Dragon Patterned Red Gold Sword", and a three-foot sword light shot out!

The sword's light was crystal clear, condensed and brilliant, as if it was made of ten thousand years of ice. It crossed the final distance and pierced the living dead's forehead.

At this moment, a flash of lightning lit up and rushed from afar. In an instant, it was blocked and illuminated the moon-like tomb as if it were daytime.

Meng Qi could barely recognize that it was a spear, but its speed was too fast, countless times faster than Xiao Zhenhai's "Aurora Electric Sword", and completely beyond Meng Qi's ability. Just as he felt it, it was already in front of him. He didn't even have the chance to raise his sword to block. Although it was not as fast as real thunder, it was also extraordinary!

Within his sight, lightning leaped, filling Meng Qi's pupils with silver-white.

In front of it, he and others were like clay puppets.

Suddenly, a sword light appeared, like a startled wild goose, like flying clouds, so beautiful that the void shook, and the heaven and earth changed with it. There was no person or self, no object or form.

The sword energy was surging, and the moonlight in the tomb was directly blocked off, leaving it half bright and half dark. Apart from that, there were no sword marks caused by the induction, as if the sword energy was highly condensed and there was no leakage at all.

The sky was filled with explosions of light, thousands of flowers bloomed in the night of the east wind, sword energy was overflowing, lightning flashed everywhere, the ground and walls were either charred or scarred, all signs of destruction.

boom!
Boom!

Not until all this happened did Meng Qi and the others hear the sound of swords and spears clashing and the rumbling thunder.

This is truly a spear that is faster than sound! (End of this chapter)
