I travel through the heavens as a human being

Chapter 15
When the morning sun dispels the darkness, it emits infinite light to illuminate the heaven and earth.

In Qingmu Temple, Xu Yang, who had just walked out of the house, looked at the mountain wind whistling in Zhongnan Mountain, and immediately showed a joyful smile on his face, and couldn't help but praise again and again:
"Good wind! Good wind! What a good wind!"

"Fellow Taoist is really in a good mood. I have been enjoying the scenery so early in the morning."

A slightly old voice came from behind Xu Yang, and without even looking back, Xu Yang knew that it must be the old Taoist priest from Qingmu Temple.

During this period of stay at Qingmu Temple, Xu Yang would chat with the old Taoist priest every morning after he finished exercising.

At such an old age, the old Taoist priest must have experienced a lot of ups and downs. Xu Yang likes to listen to such old people talking about the past the most.

Sometimes he can extract useful information for himself from the old Taoist priest's words.

For example, if the old Taoist priest had not accidentally mentioned the matter of water pools and geological disasters, he would still be looking for water pools all over the mountain to dive and play.

It was windy in the mountain today, and Xu Yang was not ready to go out after chatting with the old Taoist priest.

It's really a blessing from God. With such windy weather, people must be able to enter the ancient tomb that has been open to the wind since I opened the hole for robbery.

The strong wind blew all day long, and only subsided at night when Xu Yang was about to rest.

At dawn the next day, Xu Yang left Qingmu Temple and went to the robbery cave he had opened.

On the way, Xu Yang also caught a sparrow, tied it up and hung it on his body.

When Xu Yang arrived at the robbery cave, he first carefully checked whether the warning device he had set up when he left was intact, lest he didn't know that someone had entered the robbery cave.

After checking, all the warning devices were in good condition, and Xu Yang was relieved when he saw this.

Then Xu Yang threw the torch toward the depths of the robbery cave. Only when the torch slowly extinguished did Xu Yang confirm that the air inside was up to standard and it would be okay for people to go in.

Xu Yang immediately threw down the food and water, then jumped into the robbery hole and entered the ancient tomb.

In the ancient tomb, after standing firm, Xu Yang put the captured, still alive sparrow in his hand so that he could observe the sparrow's life state at any time.

This trick is also commonly used by tomb robbers, but they usually go to the grave holding the rooster.

In people's understanding, after all, tombs are inherently yin, where yin and evil spirits gather, while roosters belong to yang and are naturally capable of restraining all evil spirits.

Of course, the scientific explanation is that poultry have a faster metabolism and are more sensitive to air. Once problems with the poultry are discovered in time, people will still have time to escape.

The ancient tomb is dark and dark, and the road is winding. In some places, only one person can pass by, and there are many forks, making it easy for people to get lost.

However, Xu Yang came prepared and had the patience and time to look for it. When he encountered a fork in the road, he marked it and drew a simple map.

Route 1 (crossed out)

Route 2 (crossed out)

Route 3 (crossed out)

······
After Xu Yang ate dry food and water and took a rest, he finally found some clues on Route No. [-].

In a rather wide cave, Xu Yang saw some man-made objects:

A dressing table, a washbasin, a few pieces of yellowed silk cloth, a bronze mirror, and some other odds and ends and decayed wood.

Is this where Yang Guo and Xiao Longnu sleep?

Xu Yang guessed in his heart, but when he looked around, he didn't see the ice bed, a rare martial arts treasure. It was just empty with some sunken marks.It seems that the ice bed was taken away by someone.

Xu Yang sighed with regret in his heart, and began to look for the coffin room of the ancient tomb again.

Half an hour later, I finally found the secret room where the Double Ninth Festival inscription was located.

However, in this secret room, there were two withered bones lying on the ground, one sitting cross-legged on a large stone.

After seeing this scene, Xu Yang did not enter rashly. He saw that the three corpses died inside and then decayed. Who knows how much poisonous gas would accumulate inside.

Thinking of this, Xu Yang threw the sparrow he had captured into the secret room, and then closed the door of the secret room.

Another half an hour passed before Xu Yang opened the door to the secret room again. When only a gap was revealed, he saw a black shadow flying over his head. When he turned to look, it was the sparrow from before.

It looks like everything's okay inside.

After thinking about it, Xu Yang entered the secret room.

Then under the light of the fire, Xu Yang discovered that the inscriptions on the wall of the Double Ninth Festival had been scraped away, leaving only the words "Double Ninth Festival will not be weaker than others in life".

Just when Xu Yang was disappointed, he found a small wooden box next to the corpse sitting cross-legged on the big rock.

Seeing this scene, Xu Yang's heartbeat accelerated inexplicably.

After entering the box, in order to prevent the presence of hidden weapons inside, Xu Yang hid at the other end of the big stone and used his long sword to jump out of the box.

Hey, it’s okay!

After the box was opened, nothing unexpected happened, but Xu Yang still did not take it lightly. Instead, he came out of the secret room and caught the sparrow again.

Wrap his palms with cloth several times, then hold the sparrow, reach into the box, and close the lid.

He was afraid that the things in the box were poisonous. After all, this was the world of martial arts. It was impossible to prevent things with poison, so it was always right to be careful.

It can be said that this operation fully demonstrated Xu Yang's fear of death.

When Xu Yang felt that his hand was a little stiff, he had to retract his arm.

But the sparrow he was holding looked at Xu Yang, blinking its small eyes full of grievances, as if accusing Xu Yang of being an inhumane person.

Seeing that the sparrow was fine, Xu Yang was relieved, and then he stuck his head out to see what was in the box.

The top one is a letter, with the words "personally addressed to the latecomer" written on the envelope.

When Xu Yang picked up the letter, his heart started beating hard and his face turned red.

"Nine Yin Manual", "Eighteen Palms for Subduing the Dragon", "Dog Beating Stick Technique", "Quan Zhen Internal Skills", "Quan Zhen Heart Technique", "Jade Girl Heart Sutra", "Jade Girl Sword Technique", "Gloomy Ecstasy Palm" , "Xuantie Sword Technique", "Toad Technique".

Ten secret books were neatly placed in the wooden box. How could this excite Xu Yang, who had given up hope.

Resisting the urge to yell in excitement, Xu Yang carefully took out the secret books one by one.

He couldn't help but be careless, because after so many years, the paper would become brittle under the action of time. If he damaged a secret book by using too much force, wouldn't he cry to death!
The first thing Xu Yang opened was the "Nine Yin Manual". Looking at the opening chapter "The way of heaven, it damages more than it can but makes up for what it lacks..." Xu Yang did not bother to delve into the meaning of the scripture, so he started Take out the pen and ink and copy it.
