Chapter 313 The Five Elements King and the True Dragon Horn
Inside the Lost Temple, the stone statues of the twelve zodiac animals are broken and incomplete, as if hiding the former glory of this place.

The light from Zhang Wuming's flashlight moved along with the dragon and tiger talismans of the Zhang family on the wall.

Among the three, he was the only one who could identify it.

This is the rune left by Zhang Tiansheng.

Before entering the Shiwan Mountains, Zhang Fan heard from the bald old man that Zhang Tiansheng had been here more than 40 years ago. More than ten years later, he came here again, and at that time he brought the young Zhang Lingzong with him.

"Is he here for the [True Dragon Horn]?" Zhang Fan thought.

His grandfather was very special. In his early years, he gathered with a group of so-called like-minded people.

These people have their own origins and births, and they act in a low-key and mysterious manner. They go by the name of "Carrying the Coffin", and what they do in secret seems to be to explore the legendary nine methods and nine tools.

People like Mo Ranchen, the head of Mount Qiyun, Xu Xuanguan, the reclusive leader of Mount Mao, and Ye Jinzhao, the number one master of Mount Zhongnan, are all members of the Coffin-Carrying Society.

The same goes for Zhang Tiansheng. He is the second child and holds a very important position in the coffin-bearing association.

Naturally, his research on the Nine Methods and Nine Instruments was beyond ordinary people, and he even found some clues.

"The five elements are in chaos, living together, returning to their roots, and surviving forever beyond the calamity..."

Finally, Zhang Wuming finished reading the entire text, with a complicated expression and muttering softly.

"What does it say?" Li Miaoyin asked.

"This senior from the Zhang family is no simple person. He actually followed the clues and found this place." Zhang Wuming exclaimed.

"Tell me in detail." Zhang Fan urged.

"When this senior was young, he made a friend who came from Mount Zhongnan and was a remarkable man of his time," said Zhang Wuming.

"Zhongnan Mountain..." Zhang Fan thought thoughtfully.

The one referred to here should be Ye Laosi, Ye Jinzhao.

"This senior learned from a friend that more than 800 years ago, the Five Elements King, one of the Nine Laws, fell into Mount Zhongnan." Zhang Wuming continued.

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Fan thought of the huge palm print he saw on the cliff of Zhongnan Mountain. It looked like a real dragon and was amazing.

Ye Beichen said that it was left by a senior master in Zhongnan Mountain. At that time, he mastered the Five Elements King, one of the Nine Techniques, and since then he has been able to dominate the world and has no rivals.

"Later, this senior followed the clues and followed the trail all the way. Finally, he found the burial place of that senior near a village on the banks of the Weiliu River in Xijiang Province." Zhang Wuming said in a serious tone.

More than eight hundred years ago, the life and death of the master from Mount Zhongnan who had mastered the Five Elements King remained a mystery, and he did not pass away at the mountain gate.

This also proves what Ye Beichen said, that the King of Five Elements once fell into Zhongnan, but lost it again and became one with the dust.

Although Zhang Tiansheng found the burial place of his predecessor, the cave was dark and hundreds of years had passed, and the remains had long disappeared.

After his investigation, he discovered that there were traces of Wuwei Sect's activities around the village. Following the clues, he found a clue.

Perhaps, hundreds of years ago, the disciples of Wuwei had already discovered the burial place of their predecessor.

Zhang Tiansheng searched through ancient books and with the help of his connections, he finally got some clues.

"During the eight hundred years, there are several time points when the Five Elements King is most likely to appear..." Zhang Wuming said in a serious tone.

He traveled across most of China and finally determined the direction.

"More than five hundred years ago, during the seventh attack on mountains and temples, the Five Elements King was suspected to have appeared in the Ten Thousand Mountains." Zhang Wuming said in a serious tone.

That turmoil was too tragic. Countless predecessors died in the vast Ten Thousand Mountains. With war raging everywhere, many past events were only hidden in the sporadic records of various sects and were not passed down.

In order to find this clue, Zhang Tiansheng entered countless mountain gates and checked countless notes of his predecessors.

"This senior from the Zhang family has come here five times in total, and he finally confirmed that more than five hundred years ago, there was someone in the Wuwei Sect who had mastered the Five Elements King." Zhang Wuming said in a deep voice.

“To cultivate the Five Elements King, one must be a world-shaking master, definitely not an unknown person.” Li Miaoyin said in a serious tone.

"You're right."

Zhang Wuming nodded, looked at the records on the wall, and said in a deep voice: "More than five hundred years ago, that master was the master of the Xuan Palace of Wuwei Sect."

The seventh time he destroyed mountains and temples, the master of Xuan Palace of Wuwei Sect appeared out of nowhere, cultivated the Five Elements King, and killed countless Taoist masters.

This law is not the law of the human world. The five elements are reversed and there are no taboos. The mountains and rivers are stained with blood and the sun and the moon are shocked.

"One man can block the pass from ten thousand men..." Zhang Wuming sighed.

Just one Master of Xuan Palace was enough to catch the entire Taoist sect off guard. Even though many experts gathered, they were unable to stop him.

The Five Elements King's ferocity and tyranny were undoubtedly demonstrated at this moment.

At the time when the two sides were in a tense situation, a strange man appeared in Baihe Temple. He got a treasure from somewhere unknown. The treasure was so strange and inexplicable that it actually broke the [Five Elements King] of the Lord of Xuan Palace and nailed him to death in the Ten Thousand Mountains.

"Real dragon horn!"

Zhang Fan and Li Miaoyin said in unison.

Zhang Wuming curled his lips, looked at the two people, and said immediately: "It seems to be this treasure."

The True Dragon Horn, one of the Nine Weapons, is the nemesis of the Five Elements King, one of the Nine Methods.

In that battle, the extraordinary man of Baihe Temple died, the master of Xuan Palace died and all the Taoist masters present also died in the mountains. The world was so vast that they could never be found again.

As for the real dragon horn, its whereabouts are unknown.

"Has this senior found the true dragon corner?" Li Miaoyin asked.

"It doesn't say that." Zhang Wuming shook his head.

"Maybe not found." Zhang Fan murmured softly.

He now knew why Zhao Jiexuan appeared here, he was also looking for the Nine Weapons.

Of course, for him and Zhang Fan, the most important of the nine weapons is the [Innate Seal]. After all, it is the nemesis of the Holy Fetus of Gods and Demons.

But the real dragon horn is still extremely important. What Chenlong refined is the Five Elements King.

"Let's go. There should be many palaces and temples like this in this place. If we search one by one, we will always find clues." Zhang Fan said in a serious tone.

This deep valley is known as an ancient sacrificial site. It was once very popular and there must have been more than one Taoist temple.

Perhaps, Zhao Jiexuan is hiding among them.

"Etc., etc……"

At this moment, Zhang Wuming stopped him.

He turned around and began to grope around in the collapsed and dilapidated temple, sometimes turning the statue and sometimes knocking on the wall.

"What are you doing?" Zhang Fan asked.

"I was wondering why this senior left a message here alone. Is he bored?" Zhang Wuming said lightly.

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhang Fan and Li Miaoyin looked at each other and saw a glimmer of light in each other's eyes.

"You mean..."

Zhang Wuming groped his way and came to the back of the altar. Behind the human portrait there was a stone statue with three heads and six arms, each holding a magical weapon, looking ferocious and angry.

"This is the statue of Tai Sui!" Zhang Fan whispered.

The human zodiac and Tai Sui are two sides of the same coin. The zodiac signs rotate and control good and bad luck.

Zhang Wuming took a quick glance, then faced the rock wall in front of him and touched, knocked, and sniffed.

He turned to look at Li Miaoyin and waved.

"Sister-in-law, come here for a moment."

"Okay..." Li Miaoyin just took a step forward and suddenly stopped, a look of surprise appeared on her pretty face.

"What did you call me? Who is your sister-in-law?" Li Miaoyin said angrily.

Zhang Wuming blinked and looked at Zhang Fan.

"Why are you looking at me?" Zhang Fan's eyes widened.

As soon as he finished speaking, a strong wind swept past, like a sledgehammer being swung up and smashing down heavily. With a loud bang, Zhang Wuming's hair stood up, and cracks suddenly appeared on the rock wall behind him, and continued to spread, making a crackling sound.

"This..." Zhang Wuming swallowed.

"Who did you call sister-in-law just now? Who is your sister-in-law?" Li Miaoyin groped her slender palm, looked at Zhang Wuming, and showed a gentle smile.

"My brother has the final say." Zhang Wuming laughed dryly.

boom……

At this moment, the collapsed rock wall suddenly fell off, and a beam of bright light actually came through it.

"It really is a different world."

Zhang Fan's eyes lit up, and he leaped up like a bulldozer, knocked the small hole open, and rushed over.

There was actually a huge cave on the other side of the rock wall. A beam of light fell from the hole in the dome, illuminating every corner.

“This place is so special…”

Li Miaoyin looked at the walls around her. Sticky liquid continued to seep out and gathered under her feet, forming an underground river that flowed through the criss-crossing gullies.

In addition, there are five graphics on the wall, symbolizing gold, wood, water, fire and earth respectively.

It's just that the order in which they are arranged is slightly different.

The conventional five elements' generation and restraint are: metal generates water, water generates wood, wood generates fire, fire generates earth, and earth generates metal, in a cycle.

But the order on the wall is exactly the opposite.

"The five elements are reversed to produce wonderful effects, and the one who makes the mistake becomes the king and sees the divine opportunity!"

Zhang Fan looked at the images on the wall, which were surrounded by various talismans and ancient seal characters, and his eyes couldn't help but focus.

"Is this the place where the former master of Xuan Palace practiced the Five Elements King?"

"Is this recorded on it the cultivation method of the Five Elements King?" Zhang Wuming's eyes lit up.

"Art has rules, Tao is inaction."

Li Miaoyin shook her head: "There is no specific method for practicing Taoism at that level."

"What you study is the Tao, and what you cultivate is the principle."

"But everyone knows the principle, but how many people can practice it?"

The basic principle of the Five Elements King is as recorded on the wall.

In the natural birth and death, the five elements rotate clockwise, representing the natural flow of acquired energy in the human body.

For example, the lungs belong to metal and the kidneys belong to water. The lung metal regulates the body's water channels through the respiratory system, thereby sinking into the kidney water and promoting fluid metabolism.

This is the law of "metal produces water", and it is also the basic activity of life. However, although such activities lead to death, they are accompanied by the continuous consumption of energy.

Whether it is sweating during exercise or performing a skill, once the body fluids flow out, the essence is dissipated.

In fact, all activities in which the five elements of the human body flow in the right direction consume energy.

Just as food is transformed into qi and blood, the spleen earth produces lung metal.

This process also consumes energy, but it also maintains life.

Therefore, from the moment people come into this world, they are destined to live towards death by following the laws of nature.

Therefore, it can be understood that every person is an extroverted system that consumes energy.

The King of the Five Elements is to sublime in reverse, to reverse the flow of energy, to return to the original innate source, and to achieve immortality and transcendence.

Therefore, a person who has mastered the Five Elements King Technique has an internal system of energy circulation.

In Taoism, various life skills, all involving the retrograde method of "extracting lead and adding mercury, taking Kan and filling Li", all come from the "Five Elements King", but they are not as mysterious and magical as this.

For example, the [Southern and Northern Sects] that Zhang Fan practiced before also came from this contradictory lineage.

"The five elements moving in the right direction become the fire pit of the Dharma Realm, while the five elements moving in the wrong direction become the seven treasures of the earth..." Li Miaoyin whispered in a concentrated voice.

"The truth has existed since ancient times, but who can comprehend it?"

"Come and see."

At this moment, Zhang Wuming shouted.

Zhang Fan looked in the direction of the sound and saw a skull in the corner. It was crystal white with a glassy sheen.

The skull is huge, as big as a table.

"Is this a human skull?" Zhang Fan was in a daze, then he walked forward to take a look and confirmed that it was not a model.

"Whose skull is so big? Are there really giants in this world?" Zhang Fan marveled.

"And here..."

Zhang Wuming made another new discovery. Not far away, he found another arm bone. It was no different from that of an ordinary person, except that his fingers were extremely slender, with seven in total. His nails had completely ossified and were as sharp as knives.

"There is also..."

After taking two more steps, I found a section of spine covered with bone spurs that continued to extend outward, like a thorn bush.

"What kind of strange creatures are these?" Zhang Fan showed a strange look.

"If I'm not wrong..."

Li Miaoyin pondered for a moment, then said: "These should be the remains of people who practiced the Five Elements King."

"What?" Zhang Wuming's face suddenly changed.

“I have only heard about it before. Practicing this method will violate the will of heaven and bring about a great calamity.” Li Miaoyin whispered in a serious tone.

The life structure of a normal human being is a system of five elements, which is naturally harmonious. Even so, once the five elements are out of balance, the body will undergo various changes and reactions.

For example, if you often stay up late, the liver will produce excessive fire, which will cause acne, oily skin, bad breath, etc.

When the kidney water is depleted, hair loss will occur, etc.

This is true for the positive five elements. People who practice the wrong five elements have an anti-five elements system in their bodies, which is against the will of heaven. Once the five elements are out of balance, the slightest disharmony will have a greater impact.

"This is the catastrophe of body transformation." Li Miaoyin said as she looked at the strange skeletons.

When practicing the Five Elements King, once one falls into the [Body Transformation Tribulation], various abnormal changes will occur in the physical body, such as male becoming female, female becoming male, big becoming small, and small becoming big.

Most of the people are like these losers, turning into monsters that are neither human nor ghost.

"Besides this, there is also the [Body Destruction Tribulation]..."

The Anti-Five Elements System is a process of energy recovery. Because it is too powerful, the body will often collapse and needs to be constantly repaired and replenished, and constantly evolve.

If you are not careful, you will fall into the third level of calamity.

"Body annihilation calamity!"

Even if one succeeds in practicing the Five Elements King, there is a high probability that one will eventually be killed in this calamity.

However, such an existence, even if the body is destroyed, is not something that ordinary people can imagine and understand.

"We seem to have come to the wrong place..." Li Miaoyin's expression changed again and again.

"What do you mean?" Zhang Fan raised his eyebrows, as if he had guessed something.

"This may not be a cave..."

"What you mean is..." Zhang Wuming's heart skipped a beat.

"Could this be the stomach of the Lord of Xuan Palace!?" Li Miaoyin's expression changed again and again, and she said with some uncertainty.
