From a Zhengyi Taoist Child to a Master of All Laws

Chapter 47: Bai People's Hanging Coffins
Li Yang stopped to observe. The circle of rocks outside the Sheshen Cliff was basalt formed by the cooling of magma from a volcanic eruption about 2 million years ago. It was hard and black, but the exposed rock surface was covered with criss-crossing cracks.

The more Li Yang looked at it, the more confused he became. These gullies on the cliff, which were more than ten meters long and wide, did not seem to be formed by geological movement and weathering. Instead, they were somewhat similar to the sword marks he left in Yang Family Canglang Garden.

"Master, what are you looking at?" Zhao Ziyao suddenly jumped out from the side, followed Li Yang's gaze and looked at the scenery of the Cliff of Sacrifice, curling her lips.

"What's so interesting about Sheshen Cliff? You might as well go with us to the Big Buddha to take pictures."

Although Mount Emei is one of the Taoist paradises, in modern times, the influence of Taoism in Mount Emei is obviously not as great as that of Buddhism, and there are very few Taoist temples along the way up the mountain.

"Oh? The Sheshen Cliff?"

"Yes, I am not making this up. My teacher told me this during my geology internship. In recent years, the Emeishan Buddhist Association has clarified that the "Sheshen Cliff" is actually the "Sheshen Cliff" because Buddha's light often appeared there in ancient times."

"Because the Buddha's light captures the image of the human body, it is called 'body-capturing light'. 'Sacrificing the body' is actually a misunderstanding of 'capturing the body'."

Zhao Ziyao talked incessantly and explained the origin of Sheshen Cliff in a serious manner.

At this time, most of the tourists were waiting for the sunrise at Duguangtai and Xiuxintai, and not many people paid attention to this place.

"Master, don't lie on the railing. Be careful not to fall down. Many people have jumped over this cliff." Seeing that Li Yang's body was almost leaning out of the iron railing, Zhao Ziyao hurriedly spoke up to remind him.

Li Yang smiled apologetically, but still did not move away from the railing.

"Buddha's light, Taoist, Yangji Genfa, Sheshen Cliff..." Looking at the gullies of basalt on the cliff, Li Yang's eyes became brighter and brighter.

"Master...Master, what are you doing?" Zhao Ziyao looked at Li Yang's increasingly fiery gaze and felt a little scared: "Why don't we go to the Xiuxintai and talk away from here? It's a bit windy here."

Zhao Ziyao swallowed and tried to pull the corner of Li Yang's clothes.

"No, I think I've found what I was looking for, thank you."

"?What's the meaning?"

Zhao Ziyao looked at the Sheshen Cliff where the sea of ​​clouds was rolling and the bottom was invisible, and then looked at Li Yang's eager expression, and an incredible idea popped into her mind.

"...Master, you don't want to jump down from here, do you?"

Li Yang didn't answer, but nodded.

If I'm not mistaken, the ancient sword immortals who lived in seclusion in Mount Emei should be living under this Self-Sacrifice Cliff.

As for the Buddha's light that has been rumored since ancient times in Mount Emei, Li Yang thought of the Taoist priest in the Ming Dynasty who was as big as the sun in the "Jiading Prefecture Chronicle". It is obvious that the practice of this lineage is more masculine, which is very similar to the Yang extreme root method that Chi Yanhong has been looking for.

"According to Chi Yanhong's personality, if he really confirmed that there was a legacy of the Yangjigen method under the Self-Sacrifice Cliff, relying on the talisman in his hand, he would probably jump down without caring about anything."

No matter if it was for Chi Yanhong or the Yangjigen Method, he had to jump off this cliff.

"Fuck, Taoist priest, please don't let this get you down. This place is at least 700 meters high. If anyone jumps down, they will definitely die!"

"Life is still long, why do you want to commit suicide? You are still so young, you probably don't even have a girlfriend, why bother..."

Zhao Ziyao wanted to persuade him again, but suddenly her eyes blurred and Li Yang was no longer on the cliff.

"?!"

"?!!" Zhao Ziyao suddenly reacted and looked down the cliff. She saw a black dot falling directly into the undulating sea of ​​clouds without causing any ripples.

The tourists nearby noticed the situation and gathered around.
"Ah, did someone just jump off the cliff?"

"Hurry up, someone! Another person jumped off the cliff!"

"What is that girl doing standing there stupidly by the iron railing? Damn it, stop her! She might be trying to commit suicide for love!"

There was a lot of noise and chaos on the field. Zhao Ziyao, who looked confused, was quickly pinned to the ground by a few enthusiastic aunts...
-
The cliffs here are straight down, and all you can see are rocky cliffs and rolling sea of ​​clouds.

Li Yang is already very experienced in jumping off cliffs, and his current strength is a far cry from what it was when he was in Baiyun Mountain.

A cloud-patterned golden light covered his body. Li Yang used a protruding rock to flip his body and then landed safely.

After stabilizing his body, Li Yang opened his eyes and began to look around.

This is a place that has not been tainted by human footprints. The dense tree canopy covers the sky, and the ground is covered with various green grasses and exotic flowers that cannot be named. When looking up, there are still white clouds that block the view, and it is dark below.

Unfortunately, there is no trace of Chi Yanhong here.

There was a strange movement in the pocket, and the golden toad poked its head out. Li Yang's jumping off the cliff just now had woken it up.

After jumping out of the pocket, the golden toad looked around with its eyes closed, as if it sensed something.

Li Yang was not in a hurry either. He stood aside and waited quietly.

The three-legged golden toad is also known as the "fortune-attracting toad" among the people. It is very sensitive to all kinds of treasures, whether it is the red fruits of Baiyun Mountain, the Kunlun earth milk, or the peak of Emei Mountain with the highest concentration of spiritual energy, they all reflect the unique talent of this Taoist species, the golden toad.

Now there are such unusual movements. It seems that there is indeed something strange at the bottom of the cliff.

After a moment, the golden toad began to move. It raised its front legs and waved its claws at Li Yang coolly, then jumped in one direction.

Li Yang's face turned dark. This guy must have learned the waving gesture from the fat squirrel.

Jin Chan led Li Yang along the cliff for several hundred meters.
We arrived at an open-air stone cave. This cave had some traces of human intervention. It was more than ten meters long and wide, hollowed out at the bottom of the cliff, and a Tai Chi image was faintly visible.

Li Yang looked from afar and saw weeds and moss growing everywhere in the cave, which obviously had been abandoned for who knows how many years.

The golden toad jumped into the cave. Just as Li Yang was about to follow, he heard a crisp sound under his feet, as if he stepped on something.

Li Yang pulled away the weeds under his feet and found that it was actually a thin piece of jade. The jade had been stained yellow by the mud and was broken into several pieces when Li Yang stepped on it.

After clearing the weeds around, I found many strange objects underground.

I was curious and wanted to pick up a piece, but a familiar and clear female voice suddenly came from the hole.

"Fellow Taoist, there is a folk custom of burying people alive with their dead in southern Sichuan called 'Hanging Coffins of the Bai People', which involves inserting wooden pillars on the cliff to place coffins. The things under your feet are the burial objects that the Taoist priest at the bottom of the cliff put into his coffin. However, the coffin on the cliff has decayed for hundreds of years, and the burial objects fell out. You can't just pick them up casually..."

Li Yang was slightly stunned. When he looked up, he saw a beautiful female Taoist in Taoist robe looking at him with a smile.
