Covering the Sky: Starting from the Holy Land of Purple Mansion

Chapter 55

In the area behind the Great Hall of Light, three large coffins stood quietly in the darkness, looking extremely strange.

"Six ancient palaces, three large coffins, put together, it is the number nine, the most particular number in Feng Shui." Xu Yu said to himself.

Xu Yu only studied geomantic omens a little bit, and the arrangement of the hall and sarcophagus in the ancient tomb is very particular.

When I walked in, I realized that this place is a space of its own, very empty, larger than the sum of the first five ancient temples.

There is no sound in the empty dark area, it is very quiet, and no breath can be felt.

The ground is covered with bluestones, carved with various patterns, including gods, monsters, ghosts, celestial beings and many other patterns.

"Whoosh whoosh..."

Several brilliance flashed, and dozens of people rushed in, staring at the three large coffins with strange expressions.

There are gray-haired old men in this group, and there are also middle-aged men with extraordinary valor. All of them walk calmly and look indifferent, and they are different from others at first sight.

They are basically the geniuses of the previous generation in Donghuang. Their cultivation has already reached half-step power, and they are the mainstays of the major holy places. This time they were born to protect the way for their own holy son.

A man wearing a blue Taoist robe with an ordinary face and an ordinary figure glanced at Xu Yu, and two sharp rays of light shot out from his eyes, staring at the three coffins.

His name is Qu Zhengzhi, and he is a genius of the Dao Yi Holy Land. Although he was not selected as the Holy Son back then, he was valued by the Dao Yi Holy Master, who accepted him as a personal disciple and taught him the supreme mystery.

"There are three large coffins placed at the end of the imperial palace. What's the point?"

On the other side, a middle-aged man of medium build spoke to himself.

He is a genius of the previous generation of the Ji family, named Ji Yuanqing, of medium build, not very burly, but has a great aura, very ethereal, like a void, people can't catch the trace.

A gray-haired old man stared at the three large coffins, and then looked back at the six palaces behind him. After looking at the engraved pictures on the ground, his face showed a look of astonishment, and he lost his voice: "It's so bold!"

Daoist Qu Zhengzhi heard the words and asked curiously: "Senior comes from a family of origin techniques and is good at observing the situation, but what kind of secret did he see?"

The gray-haired old man paused, and said: "This place looks like a treasure land of the 'silver dragon rolling the sky', but in fact, it has been tampered with and changed into another terrain with great strength—dragon corpse swallowing the sun!"

"Dragon Corpse Swallowing the Sun?" Everyone was surprised and asked curiously.

"This kind of terrain is not uncommon. Throughout the ages, there have been saints who were unwilling to be reconciled to the end of their lifespan, so they set up the terrain of 'dragon corpse spit out the sun', hoping to use the dragon's veins to absorb the world's yang energy, so as to resurrect and return to the world."

"However, the owner of this tomb is even more ambitious. One of the six palaces contains an imperial palace! It seems that he not only wants to be resurrected, but also wants to prove the emperor with his corpse!"

The old man of the Origin Technique family looked dignified and said word by word.

"Ah……"

Qu Zhengzhi let out a sneer, and said mockingly, "Do you want to become emperor even after you die? It's ridiculous!"

Ji Yuanqing smiled and said: "Senior, you are too worried! Those who become great emperors have gone through thousands of trials to succeed, and there has never been an example of using a corpse to prove the Tao!"

The gray-haired old man twirled his beard and said, "That's right. But this tomb was left by a saint, and there may be a big murder hidden in the tomb, everyone, be careful!"

Qu Zhengzhi waved his hand, and said disapprovingly: "It's okay, the great holy masters are waiting outside, even if a ghost king jumps out, he will be easily suppressed and killed!"

"In that case, let's open the coffin first! Maybe the Ninth Secret is hidden in the coffin!"

A group of people ignored Xu Yu and walked towards the coffin.

"boom!"

There was a loud roar, the ground shook violently, and the coffin kept shaking.If it weren't for the array pattern guarding this place, the surrounding area would have already been shattered.

Ji Yuanqing showed a strange expression, staring at the first big coffin, said: "It's really interesting! Dozens of us shot together, but we couldn't even open a sarcophagus!"

The gray-robed old man from the Yuanmu family frowned and said, "There are restrictions on the coffin lid, which can offset the divine power!"

"No problem! Just work harder, just do it a few more times!" Qu Zhengzhi said.

"boom!"

The wizards of the previous generation in the Holy Land shot one after another, causing the coffin to shake continuously, and the stone cover slid open, revealing a corner.

"Be careful that there are murderous things hidden in the coffin!" the gray-haired old man reminded.

"Boom!"

The lid of the coffin slid open and fell heavily on the ground, revealing the scene inside. There was a stone tablet lying inside the coffin.

In an instant, the atmosphere became heavy. The wizards of the previous generation in the Holy Land were wary of each other and secretly wary of others.

After all, there may be nine secrets hidden on the stele!

The stone tablet is simple and remote, with the breath of time flowing on it, but the contents of the five stone carvings on it are so strange that people can't figure it out.

It is the fifth engraved picture, with staggered engravings and messy weeds. It can be seen that the person who destroyed this picture had a complicated mood at that time, but in the end he chose to erase this secret.

"What exactly is recorded in this last engraved picture?" Xu Yu thought to himself, confused.

He stared at the first four engraved pictures in a daze, only felt that the above scenes were inexplicably familiar, but he still couldn't think of them.

On the other side, Ji Yuanqing and his group were also puzzled.

The fact that the stele was buried in an ancient coffin shows that the owner of the tomb attached great importance to it during his lifetime, but the content recorded on it is very strange and unheard of.

"Brother Yuan Qing, your family has profound knowledge and a long tradition. Have you ever heard of the scenery recorded on the stone tablet?" Someone asked.

"I've never heard of it." Ji Yuanqing shook his head.

Everyone checked the stone tablet carefully, and after confirming that there was no magical power recorded on it, they silently wrote down the contents above, and prepared to open the sarcophagus in the middle.

The ancient coffin in the middle is the largest one among the three large coffins. It is simple and ordinary, nothing unusual, and it is made of yellow clay.

However, to everyone's surprise, this yellow clay coffin was extremely hard, and no matter what method it could not shake it.

"This yellow clay coffin seems to be mixed with world stones!" Someone was well-informed and recognized the material of the sarcophagus.

The world stone he was talking about was not born after the destruction of one universe, but condensed from the void. It could open up a small world hundreds of miles away, but it could not be used to refine weapons.

"No problem! I brought a secret treasure." Ji Yuanqing said.

His brows glowed, and an ancient mirror flew out, sinking and floating, exuding a misty and chaotic atmosphere.

"Void Realm! Your Ji Family actually brought the Emperor Soldiers!" Someone said with a gloomy expression.

Ji Yuanqing's tone was flat, and he explained: "It's just an imitation, at best it can only be regarded as a king's weapon. What's more, other holy places also brought similar Taoist soldiers."

He spit out the boundless innate energy and sprinkled it on the ancient mirror.The ancient mirror vibrated, and a river of stars spewed out, dropped from the nine heavens, and hit the yellow clay coffin.

The void roared, and the Tao was like the sea, erupting from the yellow clay coffin, and the terrifying energy ripples one after another, making it difficult for everyone to stand.

When the energy fluctuation dissipated and everything calmed down, everyone was surprised to find that the yellow clay coffin was still intact, standing there quietly.

With a bang, there was a loud noise from the side, and the lid of the third sarcophagus was shaken open and slid on the ground.

"This is... the prohibition above has been broken, and the coffin lid has been loosened!" Someone said.

Ji Yuanqing was puzzled, and after glancing at the coffin lid, his expression changed suddenly, strands of chaotic energy hung from the ancient mirror on his head, protecting him tightly.

Qu Zhengzhi also had a serious face, his eyes shot out a gleam, and the bell on his head was long, cleansing people's souls.

"This coffin was opened from the inside!" Someone lost his voice when he saw the dark palm prints on the coffin board.

Everyone was shocked, and their bodies were a little hairy. This was very evil, and it was so weird that it made people feel chills down their spines.

Countless years have passed, how could the corpse in the coffin crawl out again. !
"Could it be that a murderous creature has emerged from this place!"

Qu Zhengzhi and Ji Yuanqingyuan looked at each other with solemn expressions, very alert.

Although it is just a joke to prove the Tao with a dead body, after so many years, it is inevitable that terrible ghosts will be born in the tomb.

The rest of the people were also very nervous, and sacrificed magic weapons to protect their bodies one after another. After all, the tens of thousands of years of fierce creatures are extraordinary, and they may die here if they are not careful.

However, after a long time, there was no movement in the coffin, and someone boldly stepped forward to check.

Inside the sarcophagus lay a middle-aged man with loose gray hair and black blood on his body. Even after dying for thousands of years, his appearance was still lifelike, as if he would come back to life in the next second.

Qu Zhengzhi shot two real dragons out of his eyes and penetrated into the corpse of the middle-aged man. After a while, he breathed a sigh of relief: "There is no corpse change!"

"Look! There are words in the sarcophagus!"

Someone with sharp eyes noticed the inscriptions in the sarcophagus and pointed.

Everyone came back to their senses and hurried up to interpret it.

On the inner wall of the sarcophagus, some blood characters were densely written. Even though the blood had dried up long ago, the remaining bloodstains still permeated with the aura of Dao.

"This is the trace of the holy blood. According to the years of weathering, it was left by the saint of the ancient family thousands of years ago!" Qu Zhengzhi frowned and made his own judgment.

"Unbelievable, I escaped alive..."

At the beginning, a line of scrawled blood characters seems to have the joy of escaping from the sky, but if you carefully sense the fluctuations in the words, there is also a kind of fear that penetrates into the bone marrow.

Everyone was puzzled, and then looked at the interpretation.

"Escaping from that... strange place, and getting another Emperor's Scripture, should be a joyful thing, but why am I so afraid?..."

"Hundreds of years of belief collapsed in an instant, Dao Xin was destroyed, and there is no possibility of progress in this life..."

This passage made people feel dizzy and even a little horrified. The fear and despair expressed by the person who left the blood was obvious.

It's like the word "creepy place", which was painted over and over again before finally using "creepy place" to describe it
It can be seen that he seems to have encountered something taboo, his life's beliefs have been subverted, and his Dao heart has also collapsed.

Everyone thought about what could frighten a saint's heart to collapse.

"When did this road originate? Is it natural? Or man-made?..."

Having said that, it is obvious that the writer is already confused, and his mood is ups and downs.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, discussing with each other, not knowing why.

"Can the heroes of the past reappear? Or, they have returned, and they are the same flowers in the legend..."

"'At the end of reincarnation, everything will end, the underworld is the destination of all spirits.', where did this sentence come from, and does the person who spread this sentence know the way..."

Everyone was stunned, and after thinking for a moment, someone asked: "Hell? Isn't that a myth and legend?"

Ji Yuanqing shook his head and said, "According to the ancient records of our clan, the underworld is not a legend, but a mysterious forbidden area outside the territory!"

Qu Zhengzhi stared at the bloody words, wondering: "According to the record above, this saint seems to have strayed into a restricted area. Could it be the underworld?"

"Sitting in a well and looking at the sky, when the frog in the well sees the world outside the well, there is no joy, only fear!"

"The truth is so hopeless! Even the ancient emperor could not find the truth..."

People looked at it in a daze, not knowing what was going on, and only felt a sense of depression in their hearts.

What did the saint see?To leave such disrespectful words, I think that the ancient emperor did not investigate clearly.
