Chapter 64
When Ji Ran reached the top of the Ninth Mountain, she saw a pond, and the water in the pond actually came from the "sky". When she looked up at the sky, there were stars all over the sky.

Corresponding to the position of the sun, I felt carefully that there seemed to be a familiar scent, and it was the scent of the hibiscus tree.If you want to come here, it should be right under the hibiscus tree.

As for the position of Taiyin, Ji Ran searched for a long time but did not find it.So Ji Ran remembered that when she studied "Dharma One Palm Sutra" in her previous life, she read many works of Master Nhat Hanh.

Among them is the "Suyao Sutra" about the constellation of stars.The Sutra says: "The great yang directs the sun and the moon and is conjoined with the tail. The lunar yin directs the sun and the moon and conjoins the heart. The great yang directs the sun and the moon and conjuncts Mao. The lunar yin directs the sun and the moon and conjoins the ghosts."

After observation and calculation, Ji Ran positioned the Taiyin position, but found that the Taiyin position was empty, but there was a bronze mirror vertically below the Taiyin position.

The bronze mirror is suspended above the pond, and the position of the sun is high and the shadow is low, as if the moon has separated from the stars and fallen alone into the world.

The direction the mirror was pointing at was exactly the entrance to the passage.It happens to form a "bright and direct sun" with the position of the sun.

"No wonder the hibiscus tree transforms every 60 years. I'm afraid it's because of this formation."

The view from the top of the mountain was vast and unobstructed. Ji Ran could even see the blurry figures busy at the entrance of the passage in the direction pointed by the mirror.

"It seems that the use of Qiushui Spiritual Eyes has gone a step further along the way. The field of vision has become so far away. Fortunately, I have penetrated Zhoutian and my true energy is endless, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to use this pupil technique." Ji Ran murmured in her heart.

No longer thinking about anything else, Ji Ran began to look at the pond in front of her and the mirror suspended above the pond.

"This mirror is in the lunar position, and the hibiscus tree serves as the solar position. So what is this pond for?" Ji Ran thought.After going around in a circle, Ji Ran looked at the overall layout and found it a bit strange.

"The water in the pond comes from the sky below the ground, bathes in the sun, merges with the lunar sky, and finally turns into pool water. This is to use the power of the lunar yin to neutralize the power of the sun of the hibiscus tree to remove the masculine violence in the sun."

"The yin energy in the pond is extremely heavy. I'm afraid there is a large tomb inside the mountain, and all the yin energy in the cemetery has merged into the pond water. The water overflowed from the pond and watered the entire mountain. It's like..."

"It's like washing the Yin Qi in the tomb with the Zhongzheng homogeneous Chu Yang, as evidenced by the nine Sun Returning Flowers in the pond. The Yang Returning Flower absorbs the Yin Qi in the pond water and refines it for the second time. In the end, the sun combines with Shaoyang. Form pure yang water to irrigate down."

Ji Ran carefully observed the nine sun-returning flowers distributed in nine palaces in the pond.The Sunflower initially has nine petals and grows one petal every 60 years.Now the eight surrounding flowers all have eighteen petals, and the center one has 36 petals.

"I'm afraid this is the Yin-Yang Nine Palaces reversal array arranged by an emperor who wanted to come back from the dead. With 36 petals, it should be more than 500 years old. And it takes another 500 years for a sunflower to bloom from seed to flower."

The Sunflower has a golden appearance, and at the bottom of the flower, there are three grasses growing. These three grasses are the three-soul grass that can hang a person's life for three days no matter how serious the injury is.Sunflowers will mature once every year on the night of the full moon on the [-]th day of the first lunar month, and they will wither at the same time.

All of its own nutrients will be absorbed by the Three Soul Grass. Also at sunrise the next day, it will absorb the nutrients from the Three Soul Grass again and be reborn. It seems like a cycle that will never end, with no beginning or end.

The Sunflower will add one more petal every sixty years, which is the only way to identify the age of the Sunflower.Some people even speculate that Sunflower can eventually grow to have three thousand petals as long as the main road.

At that time, the Huiyang flower will no longer be called Huiyang flower, but will be called Hedao flower.The sun-returning flower that has also lasted for thousands of years also has a name, Datura.

"I'm afraid this arrangement is more than 2000 years old. There were only a handful of people who had such abilities and means more than 2000 years ago."

Ji Ran stepped forward to observe the bronze mirror again, and saw herself in the bronze mirror. "It turned out to be a skeleton. What I saw in the bronze mirror turned out to be just a skeleton, not an appearance."

"Could this be the famous bone mirror of King Qin in later generations, but Ying Zheng hasn't discovered it yet, so I discovered it one step ahead."

Ji Ran no longer hesitated, stepped forward and wrapped her hands with zhenqi to directly take the bronze mirror to the system space. "The diagram I envisioned for meditating on the stars in the sky still lacks the lunar object for visualization. This bronze mirror came at the right time. God does not take advantage of it, but suffers from it."

"This 36-grade mandala can also refine the soul and perfect the power of Ziwei Tai Chi."

If you want to pick the Sun Return Flower, you must pick it together with the Three Soul Grass underneath it, otherwise the essence will be sucked out by it and you will die.After taking out the jade box from the system space and holding the 36-grade mandala, Ji Ran picked four sun-returning flowers from the four corners.

In this way, the Nine Palaces Formation turns into the Four Symbols Formation, which can still absorb Yin Qi, but the efficiency is not as good as before.However, if Tai Yin is taken away, the power of Lao Yang will be more powerful, which will not affect the overall effect of the formation, but will make the formation more intense.

"In this way, it should not affect the feng shui of this place. As for what will happen to the big tomb below due to the power of Zhengyang, I don't care."

In this way, Ji Ran's treasure hunting trip to the Ninth Mountain was over. When returning, Ji Ran took out the bronze bone mirror and observed the nine peaks, and found that there was a palace in each peak.

"This bronze mirror can actually penetrate the void." Ji Ran said in surprise.

So Ji Ran used Qiushui's spiritual eyes and used the bronze mirror to see more clearly that the structure of the palaces in each mountain was different, but the same thing was that there was a big tripod in each palace.I can't see the appearance of that big cauldron clearly.

"Nine mountains, nine palaces, nine tripods... I don't know who the owner of this tomb is. 2000 years ago, there was such a big deal, he must be a tribal leader or a dynasty monarch. It should be the Xia Dynasty at that time, and he could have access to the nine tripods."

"It can't be King Yu!!!" Thinking of this, Ji Ran was filled with fear and did not dare to stay.Hurry and run towards the eighth mountain.

Not long after Ji Ran left the Ninth Mountain, she felt unsteady under her feet before she reached the Eighth Mountain to join the others.There was a feeling of the earth falling apart, and soon the rocks on the ninth mountain fell off piece by piece.A palace was revealed.

And in the four corners of the palace, there are thousands of snake people at the entrance of the passage.It's just that the tail of this snake man seems to be a hundred meters long. The four snake men are spiraling from the bottom of the palace, around one wall to the four corners of the palace.

And the mouths of the four snakemen should all have a sun-returning flower, but now Ji Ran took it away.

"I'm afraid I've triggered the mechanism in the tomb." No longer thinking about it, Ji Ran went all out and returned to the top of the eighth mountain in about a quarter of an hour.

Sure enough, the three of them were already fighting with the corpse soldiers at this time. Ji Ran quickly joined the battle and said to everyone: "Retreat quickly. This is the tomb of an ancient king, and there is great danger. Now I seem to have triggered the mechanism, and the guards in the tomb They will all attack outsiders."

"I'll cut off the rear, Yu Shi will clear the way, and retreat quickly."

After another two hours, everyone retreated to the halfway point of the fifth mountain, but the iron cable leading to the fourth mountain was missing.

Yu Qing asked in confusion: "Master, now that the road ahead is cut off, what should we do?"

Ji Ran thought for a while and said: "It is about 75 feet away from the fourth mountain, and it should be [-] feet away from the foot of the mountain. We will slide directly to the foot of the mountain with a rope, and then evacuate from the square."

After that, Ji Ran took out a roll of long rope and tied it to the stone pillar where the iron rope had been fixed. Then, a sword with a slightly curled edge was fixed on the other end of the long rope, and he threw it down the mountain.

"You go first, I'll take the lead." Ji Ran said.He always felt that a pair of eyes were watching him, especially after he took away the things from the Ninth Mountain, this feeling became more obvious.

Half an hour later, the three of them descended to the ground one after another.Ji Ran did not start sliding down immediately. Instead, he slid down five meters and used his sword energy to carve out a foothold just like he had before running up the ninth mountain.

When he sank a hundred meters, the rope in his hand suddenly lost its ability to support.

"Sure enough, someone was spying secretly and cut the rope when I got to the middle. Is it possible to trap me in the mountain so that I can use up my energy?" Ji Ran thought in her mind.

The three Mo Mo people at the foot of the mountain were a little anxious when they saw Ji Ran who was trapped a hundred meters above the ground. Just as they were about to shout, they found that Ji Ran had produced another roll of rope from nowhere and used Amaterasu to dig out the wall. After coming out of the fixed position, it began to slowly slide down again.

Finally landed safely.

As soon as he landed on the ground, Ji Ran ordered everyone: "There is a tomb guard here. His strength is unknown. Evacuate quickly. Mo Qinggong can eliminate me the fastest. Go straight to inform everyone in the Yu clan to withdraw from the underground and guard on the other side of the passage."

"I'm going to go around to lure out the peepers, otherwise I don't know what will happen to this place in the future. You two will follow the ink."

Just as Mo Mo was about to speak, Ji Ran said, "Don't forget that what they are most afraid of is the sun's energy, and Yu Qing gave me two hibiscus leaves before, which are their nemesis."

The three of them said no more and rushed towards the entrance passage. Unfortunately, they were blocked by countless blue fireflies halfway, so the three of them had to find another way.At the same time, the bronze iron door at the entrance of the passage slowly closed.

The four of them completely became turtles in the urn.

The three of them returned to where Ji Ran was, and Yu Qing asked, "Master, what should we do now?"

Ji Ran thought for a while and said: "The passage, the arch bridge, the gate, and the Ninth Mountain are all on the same straight line. Since the entrance is not possible, then walk along the straight line. Maybe there is an exit over there."

Everyone can only move forward along the straight line just mentioned by Ji Ran and make marks along the way.Ji Ran, on the other hand, still stayed at the foot of the fifth mountain and did not move.

After a while, the shaking stopped, and a nine-story high platform on the Ninth Mountain was also displayed in front of Ji Ran.It's a pity that Ji Ran didn't look much, but kept staring at the location of the chains on the fifth and fourth mountains.

A strange voice said: "You really have some abilities, otherwise you wouldn't be able to take away my king's precious mirror. Return the precious mirror, and I will keep your whole body."

At this time, a snake man with a tail length of one meter and a body length of one meter stood upright with his upper body and at the same time slowly crawled towards Ji Ran with his lower body.

"Who is your king? What race are you from?" Ji Ran asked calmly.

The snake man didn't know if he hadn't communicated with anyone for a long time, but he actually answered all questions: "My tribe is a citizen of Xuanyuan. After being trapped in the future, we intermarried with the Black Snake tribe, and the tribe gradually lost human wisdom and wisdom. Ability."

"Only the royal family, relying on the opportunity to connect with the outside world every 60 years, will kidnap some women and come back to maintain the immortality of the royal family. And I am the contemporary royal family, Xuanyuan Dapan."

Hearing the snake man's description, Ji Ranben had a solemn look on his face, because whether the guy was talking about the Xuanyuan Kingdom or the Chang Snake Clan, they were all legends in the "Book of Mountains and Seas".But when she heard the other person's name, Ji Ran wanted to beat him.

Because Ji Ran thought of a person with the same name in another world: "Xuanyuan Jingcheng asked the ancestor to die!"

This ancestor is called Xuanyuan Dapan.So Ji Ran asked: "Do you have a descendant named Xuanyuan Jingcheng?"

Xuanyuan Dapan said strangely: "The Xuanyuan royal family has been passed down from generation to generation. This generation was supposed to look for women after the passage was opened. Unfortunately, you blocked it. It is difficult to plunder a human woman this time. Fortunately, there is one among you." "

"And he seems to have very good qualifications. He will definitely be a good source of nourishment for my son."

Ji Ran asked curiously: "Why is it your son's nourishment? Shouldn't it be the mother?"

Xuanyuan Dapan said: "Because the newborns of our clan will absorb all the nutrients from the mother's body and turn them into their own essence. If it is that woman, maybe my son can awaken the innate magical power of our clan."

"So who is your king? He should be the one who lets you in, why do you still protect him?" Ji Ran asked again.

Xuanyuan Dapan said with admiration: "My king is named Qi, and he is the lord of the great Xia Kingdom. And my king once predicted that he would wake up again after 2000 years. Now it is the period of 2000 years. Maybe your It exists to be a sacrifice to awaken my king.”

"The greatness of my king is unimaginable to you. Be happy, be glorious, dedicate yourself devoutly, and become a sacrifice to my king!"

Hearing this, Ji Ran knew that this snake man was already mentally ill.Maybe the ancient ancestors did have such devout beliefs, but it's a pity that Ji Ran did not.Moreover, we know that the owner of the tomb is not King Yu, but Qi, the founder of the Jiatianxia system.

Ji Ran won't feel any guilt anymore. After all, King Yu is one of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, a sage of the human race. "Yu spread the soil, planted trees along the mountains, and built mountains and rivers." This is clearly recorded in "Shangshu".

After all, Ji Ran is a Chinese, and he still respects the noble character of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors from the bottom of his heart, and even hopes to fight alongside them if there is a chance in the future.

But for Qi, there is no respect at all.People whose selfish desires outweigh the righteousness of the human race are not worthy of concern.

So Ji Ran took the lead in fighting the opponent with the "Three Forms of the Ruyi Demon".Through the conversation with the other party, Ji Ran knew that this snake man probably did not have very rich combat experience, especially when dealing with a warrior like himself.

Because whether it is swordsmanship, swordsmanship or boxing skills, the moves are the crystallization of the wisdom of countless people over countless years.It is definitely not what such a savagely growing intelligent body can think of.

Sure enough, under Ji Ran's series of attacks, Xuanyuan Dapan quickly fell into a disadvantage, and his physical injuries continued to accumulate.Although each wound is not deep, the accumulation will affect his actions.

Xuanyuan Dapan laughed loudly and said: "The beating was really enjoyable. I thought my stone skin was already the strongest thing in the world. After all, even my king's sword couldn't pierce it. I didn't expect your sword to be so sharp." .”

Ji Ran did not answer Xuanyuan Dapan, but suddenly changed the move in his hand to "Nine Soul Searching Styles" because Ji Ran found that Xuanyuan Dapan was quickly adapting to his own moves.This is what Ji Ran wants to see.

Some people may think that facing an opponent with little combat experience, Ji Ran should kill him with one blow and use powerful moves from the beginning.But just like Xuanyuan Dapan didn't understand Ji Ran's moves, Ji Ran didn't understand Xuanyuan Dapan's weaknesses.

If you use a powerful move like Snow Queen Chuqing, but one hit is ineffective, it will be difficult to get another chance to kill with one hit.Another reason is that Ji Ran has too few moves that can determine victory or defeat.

As Ji Ran's most familiar swordsmanship, the Soul-Searching Nine Styles are also the easiest to use. When he first dealt with the Black Fox King, he also used this set of swordsmanship to test out the enemy's weaknesses.After more than fifty moves, Ji Ran also discovered Xuanyuan Dapan's weakness.

Speaking of which, this place is somewhat sensitive. It is a bulge at the intersection of the snake's body and the human body, similar to a man's sensitivity.There are also two similar places on the snake's tail.

As for attacks on the heart and other positions, Xuanyuan Dapan didn't even care much, and often used injuries in exchange for lives.To be on the safe side, Ji Ran suddenly used the first move of the Small Samsara Hand, "The Beginning of Samsara," and penetrated Xuanyuan Dapan's heart with one finger.

As a result, the opponent didn't even vomit a mouthful of blood, and gave Ji Ran a slap in the chest with his backhand. Fortunately, Ji Ran's body skills were good. While dodging, he also widened the distance between him and Xuanyuan Dashan.

Xuanyuan Dapan said proudly: "Are you curious why I'm still alive and well even after it penetrated my heart? Hahaha, I'm not afraid to tell you that my Xuanyuan clansman's heart is not here."

It seems that Xuanyuan Dapan is talking nonsense, but in fact, he is shaking Ji Ran's fighting spirit.After being unable to attack for a long time, the accumulated injuries on the opponent's body can logically affect the opponent's actions greatly, but in the end, the opponent seems to be fine.

This was indeed a shock, but how could Ji Ran, who had experienced many battles and even fought to the death and wounded the enemy, be swayed by mere words.

This time Ji Ran didn't hold back any more, and activated the eclipse of heaven and earth. At the same time, he cooperated with Heguang Tongchen and slashed his head with a knife.Point to the sensitive area where the human body and the snake body meet.

Only one third of the neck was cut off with one stroke, but Xuanyuan Dapan's head could still move. Ji Ran even saw Xuanyuan Dapan's proud smile.

Just when Xuanyuan Dapan smiled proudly, another finger hit the weak spot that he had tested before.Xuanyuan Dapan's smile also stopped abruptly.A ball of blood mist exploded, Xuanyuan Dapan covered the wound with both hands, and the snake's tail wrapped tightly around himself.

The sound of wailing is endless.Seeing Xuanyuan Dapan like this, Ji Ran didn't have many other emotions, but when Ji Ran was about to step forward to hit him, countless snake people swarmed towards him again.

Even so, Ji Ran still stepped forward and slashed at Xuanyuan Dapan's exposed snake tail with one knife after another. Xuanyuan Dapan, who was in unbearable pain, had already lost the will to do it.

Ji Ran was not careless because of his opponent's inaction, when Xuanyuan Dapan looked at Ji Ran with hateful eyes.The knife pierced Xuanyuan Dapan's eye, and at the same time, through the power of the exterior totem, it inspired the power of the sun in the fusang tree and burned it.

Without a command, the snake man retreated in fear after Ji Ran killed more than a dozen of them.
