Do not engage in underworld operations in the human world!

Although Jiang Lu has great endurance, it cannot make up for his physical deficiencies. He still needs to replenish water and food, but this ability to survive in the wild is exactly what he lacks.

But this is not a difficult task for the scythe and the performer.

They can reach level 60 and become the best among exorcists. Of course, they are all hexagonal warriors with full abilities and a variety of skills, including the skills of survival in the wild.

Maybe they don't have any use for them now, but when they were still weak, they relied on these skills to survive time and time again.

While searching for food, the three also discovered that although this place was called a different world, everything here seemed to be no different from the real world so far.

At least those plants were the ones they knew.

It was also because of this that they found a lot of edible wild mushrooms. Although they did not find any mountain springs, they still found some sour mountain fruits to replenish water.

They climbed up like this day after day.

After countless days and months passed, the three finally reached the top of the mountain with great difficulty.

By this time, the three men's clothes were already covered in mud and tattered, and they looked like three savages.

“It’s finally over”

After climbing over another hill, the performer saw that what was in front of him was no longer a higher cliff, but a vast plain of a hundred feet square. He couldn't help but burst into tears. He breathed a sigh of relief, but suddenly he lost his strength and collapsed to the ground.

Lying on the ground, looking at the thick, cotton-like clouds above, he had never felt so relaxed.

Shaking off the dirt on the trekking pole in his hand and counting the marks he had carved, Sickle said tiredly, "Counting the days, we have been climbing for forty-nine days."

Jiang Lu immediately scanned the plain.

"What about the temple it's talking about?"

The "Temple" performer struggled to stand up: "Yes, where is the temple?"

The plain is covered with yellow soil, and the whole picture can be seen at a glance. There is no temple here, not even a stone.

"Strange." Sickle, leaning on the trekking pole, also showed a hint of doubt.

At this time, Jiang Lu suddenly asked: "Do you believe in Buddhism?"

"I don't believe it." The performer and the sickle answered in unison.

Ever since the spirit realm began to descend more than 20 years ago, the only ones who can stand out are not monks or Taoist priests, but exorcists who have passed the test of the spirit realm.

Faith cannot protect people in suffering. Only oneself can save oneself. When people realize this, not only Buddhism and Taoism in the world, but also many beliefs in foreign countries have gradually disappeared.

Under such circumstances, it is impossible for the Performer and Scythe, as top exorcists, to believe in Buddhism.

"Why do you ask this suddenly? Do you believe it?" asked the performer.

Jiang Lu shook his head: "I don't believe it either. I just thought it was talking about a temple, and wondered if it was possible that only people who believe in Buddhism could see it."

"It's not that mysterious." The performer retorted, "We were pulled into this spiritual realm because of our strength, not our faith. If you need to believe in Buddhism to see the temple, then this hard condition should have been taken into consideration from the beginning."

"So we must have met the requirements for escorting the immortal corpse, but we don't know what went wrong now." Scythe also echoed.

Jiang Lu thought about it and felt that this was the truth.

“Could it be that we climbed the wrong mountain?”

"No, it was talking about the mountain in front of us, and there is only one mountain in front of us." The sickle replied.

"That seems to be the case." Jiang Lu thought, "Then I'll go and see if it's buried in the soil."

After saying this, he started walking towards the center of the plain with his legs that felt like they were filled with lead.

The performer and the sickle looked at each other, stood up with difficulty, and followed.

Arriving at the center of the plain, Jiang Lu tried to dig the loess under his feet.

However, what surprised him was that this seemingly soft loess was actually very solid, as if it had been compacted by something. Rather than soil, it was more like a huge, integrated rock covering the top of the mountain.

"Will it be covered under this?" Jiang Lu asked.

The performer also felt that the situation was too tricky: "It's not that perverted, right? If it's really buried here, and we don't have any tools or explosives, how can we get it out?"

But unlike them who focused all their attention on the ground, Scythe seemed to have sensed something and looked up.

"There seems to be something wrong with the appearance of this cirrus cloud."

Jiang Lu was stunned, and subconsciously looked up: "Clouds are just clouds, and rolling clouds? I want to see how rolling these clouds are."

"You are uneducated. I am not talking about cirrus. Cirrus refers to the level of clouds. Cirrus is a high cloud family. The cloud base is generally above 4500 to 10000 meters above sea level. The clouds that we saw when we were climbing the mountain before are just low-medium clouds. This means that we are now at least 4500 meters above sea level. Of course, based on the time we have been climbing, this altitude is likely to be higher."

The performer corrected Jiang Lu's mistake while also looking up.

Following the sickle's gaze, both of them discovered something strange.

Just when they were at the edge of the plain, their view was blocked by the clouds, so they didn't notice it. It was not until they came to the center that they discovered that in the clouds facing the center of the plain, there was a cloud that looked like an upside-down temple.

The palace is jade-like and spotlessly white.

Although it is just a cloud, it is extremely delicate and lifelike, making people wonder whether it is a cloud or not.

"Could this be the temple it was talking about?" the performer exclaimed in amazement.

"Is there anything else here that fits the bill?"

Jiang Lu also smacked his lips, amazed at such a bizarre sight: "Then the question is, it's so high, how do we get up there?"

Scythe looked thoughtful: "Maybe, we don't have to go up."

"why?"

"Did you see nothing else besides that temple-like cloud?"

Jiang Lu looked carefully and indeed found that there seemed to be something like silk floating around the temple.

He had not noticed it before because the temple was already wrapped in the center of the clouds.

Apparently, the performer noticed it as well and asked in surprise, “What is that?”

Scythe took a deep breath: "I think this is probably a seal." "I've never seen it before." The performer frowned.

"You are in Jinghu City, living in the north all year round, so you don't understand normality, but Chishan City is located in the west, in the area where many myths originated in ancient times, so many legends have been passed down."

Scythe explained:
“Since I came to Chishan City to establish a branch, I have inevitably come across many related legends, and I have also studied them specifically because of my interest.

I have heard that Chishan got its name from a mountain that existed in ancient times but has now disappeared and spewed fire all year round.

From today's perspective, it is just an active volcano, nothing special.

But according to legend, this is because there was an evil mountain god in the mountain. In order to seal the mountain god, the gods cast a seal, using clouds as a medium and placing the sealing spell on it. Then the clouds would change into different shapes, always covering the mountain god's head, preventing him from doing evil any more.

Its characteristic is that this cloud with a special shape has a seal next to it to stabilize the seal, which always hovers near the seal.

After being sealed for a period of time, the mountain that originally spewed fire gradually became indistinguishable from a normal mountain, and finally slowly became shorter, hiding in the mountains west of Chishan City. "

"You mean this is that kind of seal?" The performer thought it sounded mysterious: "After all, it's just a legend. Is it really reliable?"

"I didn't believe it before, but this scene is too similar, isn't it?"

The sickle pointed at the cloud temple and cloud seal:

“It’s just like it grew out of a legend.”

"So." Jiang Lu seemed to understand: "I understand, we are standing on the Red Mountain, right?"

"You know nothing." Scythe wanted to curse, but took a deep breath and held back: "Didn't they say that the legendary Red Mountain would always spit fire? This is obviously not the case. I just said that the method of sealing is the same as in the legend."

"Oh." Jiang Lu had no shame on his face, and changed the subject righteously: "Isn't it your fault that you didn't get to the point after spending so long? If you can't get to the point directly, how can you find the immortal corpse? Anyway, there is no other way now. No matter whether it is reliable or not, we have to give it a try."

Scythe sighed helplessly, and then continued: "The key to the seal is that it borrows the original terrain and seals the mountain god that needs to be sealed in the Red Mountain.

So if this seal is the same, then the immortal corpse we need to find is actually right in front of us.

Where we are standing now is actually equivalent to a huge coffin.

With the sky as the cover and the earth as the foundation, the immortal corpse is in this huge space, but we can't see it."

"As expected of a reliable adult, you have served as branch president for many years for real." Jiang Lu gave a thumbs up: "So there must be some way to see it, right?"

"Of course there is." Scythe nodded.

"Then tell me quickly." the performer asked anxiously.

"But I don't know." Scythe spread his hands in shame. "After all, I used to think of it as an anecdote, and I didn't really believe it, let alone delve into it."

"Ah," the performer sighed, "It's meaningless to know the principle if you don't know how to solve the problem."

Jiang Lu couldn't help feeling a little discouraged, but he soon thought of something.

"But even though we can't see it, it doesn't mean it doesn't exist, right?"

"Well, it should be somewhere on the plain." Scythe nodded.

"If the space we are in now can be regarded as a huge coffin, it could exist in any corner. If we take the initiative to look for it, it is actually like looking for a needle in a haystack. And we are blindfolded, and we don't know if we can touch it. We may never find it in our lifetime."

Jiang Lu stroked his chin:

"So instead of actively looking for it, we should lure it out."

"Lure it out?" the performer questioned, "It's called a fairy corpse, so it must be a corpse. How can you lure a corpse and make it move?"

"Haven't you heard of corpses resurrecting?" Jiang Lu asked back, "A normal corpse can resurrect if it has resentment. This immortal corpse has been sealed for so long that who knows how much resentment it has accumulated. Isn't it normal for a corpse to resurrect?"

"No, no, no, these are two different things. Pretending to be dead is a superstition. How can you take it as a basis?" the performer argued.

"It's so funny. The spirit realm has appeared, and you're still thinking about superstition?"

Jiang Lu shook his head.

He knew that the resurrection of the dead was real. As long as the soul did not enter the underworld for reincarnation after death, but remained in the corpse because of some obsession, then it was possible to "come back to life" under certain circumstances.

In addition, the current mission is to escort the immortal corpse to a designated place. If the corpse itself has nothing special and is just a corpse with nothing left, then Jiang Lu believes that such behavior is completely meaningless.

And according to the legend told by the sickle, the mountain god of Chishan was not killed and then sealed, but was locked into the mountain while still alive.

However, sealing is not a one-size-fits-all approach. There are extremely detailed divisions and distinctions according to the various situations of the sealed targets.

If it is the same kind of seal, then the situations of the immortal corpse and the Red Mountain God must be very similar.

So he felt that there was a high probability that some kind of will was retained in the immortal corpse, at least it was still alive when it was sealed.

"So how are you going to lure it out?"

Scythe asked.

He was willing to believe Jiang Lu and give it a try.

After all, he himself mentioned the legend and directly matched the legendary seal to the current situation.

In other words, he was the first to be superstitious. So if he did not support Jiang Lu, who was also superstitious, wouldn't that be slapping himself in the face?

"Okay, let's give it a try." The performer also gave up.

Since there is no other way, I can only risk my life and give it a try.

However, he thought that Jiang Lu's method might be a bit ridiculous, and he was mentally prepared for it. But when Jiang Lu really told him his method, he was still surprised.

"The rule is this: take the center of the plain as the base, treat the entire plain as a square, find the corners of the square on the four edges of the plain, then face down the mountain, and never look back.

When the game starts, the person in one corner walks to the other corner, gently taps the shoulder of the person in front, and stays in that corner.

Then, the person being photographed walks to another corner in the same way. Everyone walks in the same direction, either clockwise or counterclockwise, and then pats the shoulder of the third person. When they reach a corner where no one is, they cough and continue to the next corner, and so on, until they take a picture of everyone. "

"You actually want to play a psychic game in broad daylight?!"

Jiang Lu thought about it and snapped his fingers: "Then wait until night to play!" (End of this chapter)
