After returning to the village, start chasing the mountain from binding Emei

Chapter 615 Open the iron gate, Tiger King Tan Jue!

After hearing what he said, the Three Corpses Divine Tree seemed to realize this problem.

On the iron gate, the mouth of the human statue, which it thought might be a keyhole, was indeed about the same size as the tiger's iron certificate.

It also realized what Chen Yang wanted to do.

But based on this point alone, it is a bit premature to say that the Tiger King's Iron Certificate is the key to the iron gate.

At this time, Chen Yang had already picked up the glue and pieced together the fragments of the Tiger King's Iron Certificate piece by piece.

The Three Corpses Divine Tree said, "Do you want to use this thing to try and see if it can open the door?"

"What, no?"

"It's not that I can't, but is this thing of yours glued firmly? If it gets ruined, won't you feel bad?"

It didn't quite understand Chen Yang's train of thought.

"Let it be ruined."

Chen Yang shook his head indifferently. "What's the use of keeping this thing? Command the mountain guards in Shu? Are there still mountain guards in Shu now? Command a chicken feather? As for the secret? I just want to get out now, so why should I care about the secret? There may be a passage out behind this iron gate..."

"Ah."

The Three Corpse Divine Tree smiled helplessly. Anyway, Chen Yang had already made the decision, so he was right no matter what he said.

"Aren't you afraid that there is something extraordinary hidden behind this iron door? I heard from the King of Ginseng that Tan Jue sealed his wife inside, and she has also refined her into a body of a demon..."

"No need to worry."

Chen Yang said, "So what if she has a body of a demon? Why should we be afraid of a dead person? Tan Jue failed to refine the elixir of life in the end. His wife is just a corpse. Are you still afraid that she can rise from the dead?"

He has already used radar to search, and although the results are not clear, there is a high probability that there is no danger inside.

The key point is that he found a passage inside, so he suspected there would be a way out.

The Three Corpses Divine Tree said, "It's best to be careful anyway."

It couldn't find any words to refute Chen Yang, so it could only give him a friendly reminder to prevent him from getting into trouble due to his recklessness.

As he spoke, Chen Yang had already glued the tiger king's iron certificate.

A complete, tile-like arc-shaped iron certificate appeared in front of Chen Yang.

The length and width are about one foot each, and it still feels somewhat textured when held in the hand.

But it’s hard to say whether this thing is glued firmly or not.

Never mind. At least he had a mold. He couldn't melt it down and recast it, let alone weld it. He didn't have the equipment to do so.

The Three Corpses Divine Tree was a little amused and helpless. This operation was too sloppy. You should at least find a professional to repair it. It was too perfunctory to just glue it on like this.

Chen Yang didn't care whether it was perfunctory or not. He came to the iron gate with the iron certificate in his hand.

He first compared it with the edge of the iron certificate, and found that the size and shape were indeed the same.

After a moment's hesitation, he inserted the iron certificate into the hole in the iron gate.

There was a little resistance, but not much. Chen Yang exerted a little force and pushed it all in.

"Kakakaka..."

The iron door vibrated slightly, and there was obviously a sound of a mechanism being triggered.

When the tiger iron certificate was completely sunk in, the vibration of the iron gate became more obvious and violent.

Chen Yang took a few steps back, away from the iron gate.

"Boom boom boom..."

A lot of gravel and dust fell above the iron gate, and the iron gate seemed to move, rising slowly.

“Oh, this is really…”

Seeing this scene, the Three Corpse Divine Tree didn’t know what to say.

He had thought it was sloppy before, but it turned out that this iron gate seemed even more sloppy.

Soon, accompanied by vibrations and the sound of mechanisms, the several-meter-thick iron door was slowly pulled up.

Chen Yang held the Chixiao Sword in his hand, looking ahead vigilantly, ready to deal with any emergency at any time.

A dusty and rotten smell hit me in the face.

Chen Yang held his breath, and it was pitch black inside.

"Crack!"

The iron gate was fully raised, and suddenly there was a sound of mechanism moving, which meant it must have been stuck.

Chen Yang first used the radar to detect and found no danger, then he moved closer to the iron gate.

He looked at the heavy iron gate that had been raised and felt a little uneasy, so he went outside and brought in a large stone and placed it under the iron gate.

The mechanism of the iron gate has been in place for thousands of years, and it is very difficult to trigger it. I am afraid that after I go in, the iron gate will suddenly fall down again. By then, won’t I be trapped in a jar?
Having such a stone to support me gives me some psychological comfort.

Chen Yang then carefully walked into the stone chamber, scanning the surroundings with the radar, fearing that he would trigger any mechanism.

"Puff puff……"

The wall lamp suddenly lit up, and the dark stone room soon became as bright as day.

The stone chamber is very empty. At first glance, there is only a pool in the middle.

The octagonal pool was about ten meters wide. There was water in the pool, but the water was black, and a coffin was floating on the water.

The coffin was made of wood, also black, and had very obvious signs of decay.

"Hey!"

The Three Corpse Divine Tree clicked its tongue, as if it had something to say.

"What's wrong?" Chen Yang asked.

The Three Corpses God Tree said, "What about the medicine liquid? The medicine liquid in this pool has turned into sewage. The coffin is so rotten that the person inside must have turned into bones long ago!"

After all, it has been hundreds or thousands of years. The power of time is enormous, enough to erase many things.

When Shanjun Tan Jue left this place, he probably didn't expect that it would take so long for someone to come and open it, right?
If the coffin is rotten, can people still be immortal?

Even if it is the body of a god or demon, it is still a dead person after all, and will eventually be corroded by time.

Chen Yang used radar to detect inside and found that there were only some dry bones left in the coffin.

It must be the wife of Shanjun Tan Jue!

A dignified mountain king, in order to revive her, did not hesitate to fall into the path of evil, but he had no idea what kind of beauty she looked like.

Chen Yang was still a little curious.

However, no matter how beautiful a beauty is, she will eventually become a pile of bones.

"Don't you want to open it and take a look?" asked the Three Corpses Divine Tree.

"It's already an offense for us to barge in here, so let's not disturb the peace of the deceased!"

Chen Yang shook his head.

He came here more to find out if there was a way out.

This pool was said to be filled with liquid medicine, but now it seems that the pool is full of sewage. After so many years, how can there be any medicinal properties left?
Not to mention the medicinal properties, Chen Yang didn't even feel any of the evil energy.

The Three Corpses Divine Tree said, "Perhaps there will be some burial objects in the coffin, for example, a pill formula, such as the recipe for the [Resurrection Pill]."

"Do you think there is a pill in this world that can bring the dead back to life?" Chen Yang asked.

"This……"

The Three Corpse Divine Tree paused. Chen Yang's question stumped it.

After a person dies, unless the soul survives, the spirit collapses, the consciousness dissipates, and nothing exists.

Is it realistic that you want to bring a dead body back to life?
"Well, haha, the world is so big, there are all kinds of strange things. What if there is one?"

Although the Three Corpse Tree could not say for sure, it did not deny its existence. "Ghost Doctor Tan Jue is known as the descendant of the King of Medicine. He is also a powerful person in the Heavenly Man Realm. In addition, he is the Lord of Mount Shu. No one can tell what methods he can use."

Chen Yang shook his head and remained silent.

There was nothing buried in the coffin except some dry bones. His radar detection could detect it clearly.

"I didn't mean to bother you, please don't blame me if I'm wrong."

Chen Yang bowed towards the coffin, and then walked towards a stone door on the left wall.

The walls and stones in this stone chamber can block the detection of spiritual power, but the radar can still detect it.

Although it was not clear, it at least gave him a general idea.

There is a passage behind the stone gate. Chen Yang is not sure how deep it is, but the passage goes upwards, so it may be a way out.

He walked forward and pushed. The stone door was not very heavy. After a rumbling sound, he finally pushed it open.

The passage made of bluestone was very cold. The moment the door opened, it seemed as if some kind of mechanism had been triggered, and the oil lamps in the passage lit up one after another. After hundreds or thousands of years, these lamps could still be lit. Chen Yang had to admire the wisdom of the ancients.

The tunnel goes up diagonally, somewhat winding its way upwards.

Chen Yang didn't know how far he had walked before the front suddenly opened up and a huge cave space appeared.

The space is as big as a football field. Some of the rugged stalactites grow on the ground, and some hang upside down on the cave wall, like the bared teeth of an ancient ferocious beast. Although the entire space is lit, it is a little dark.

With the light of the oil lamps, the shadows of the stalactite corpses danced on the cave wall, like ghosts with bared fangs and claws, making people feel uneasy involuntarily.

Chen Yang walked into the depths of the cave.

There was a cluster of faint blue light, attracting his attention.

Closer.

Deep in the stalactite forest, there is a small stone platform.

There is a figure on the stone platform.

Chen Yang's heart skipped a beat and he instinctively stopped and took a defensive stance.

The stone platform was only two or three meters high. A figure was sitting cross-legged on it, holding a lotus copper lamp in both hands.

The flame in the copper lamp was burning, emitting a faint blue light.

The figure was motionless, like a stone sculpture.

His hair was loose and his head was buried, so his face could not be seen clearly. Chen Yang could no longer sense any life from him.

Either it's a stone sculpture or it's a dead person.

Chen Yang was about ten meters away from the stone platform. He scanned the surroundings with radar and found nothing unusual. He immediately used his mental power to probe over there.

"Ugh!"

A long and leisurely sigh, as if it had traveled through endless time and space, appeared in Chen Yang's ears.

Chen Yang paused for a moment, almost thinking that he had heard it wrong.

His eyes fell on the stone platform. The figure didn't seem to move at all. Was he hallucinating?
"My friend, what's your name?"

The voice rang in his ears again, sounding young, but full of vicissitudes of life.

"Who?"

Chen Yang was startled and looked around vigilantly, but found no clues.

"Don't panic, my friend. I'm right in front of you."

"what?"

Chen Yang was stunned and his eyes fell on the stone platform in front of him again.

The figure still had his head buried, without moving at all. The flame in the lotus lamp flickered, and the dim blue light reflected its figure, making it look somewhat eerie and weird.

"you?"

Chen Yang stared at the figure.

"Yes, it's me."

With a sigh, the voice said, "After so many years, you are the first person to come here. My friend, can you tell me your name?"

Chen Yang was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and bowed to the man, "Junior Chen Yang, I wonder who you are..."

"Chen Yang? Hehe..."

The man let out a bitter smile, which was somewhat tragic and meaningful. "My name is Tan Jue, the sixteenth generation king of Shushan."

"Uh……"

Chen Yang stopped dead in his tracks and looked at him in amazement.

It's him?

How could it be him?
Shouldn't he have died a long time ago?
It is clearly recorded in the Shushan Chronicles that the sixteenth mountain king, Tan Jue, was killed by Chen Tianyang and others from the Qitian Temple on the Golden Summit of Emei Mountain.

That was hundreds of years ago, how could he be here?
To be honest, at this moment, Chen Yang was a little confused.

"Have you heard of me?"

The voice was obviously weak, giving Chen Yang a feeling that the signal was bad and might be disconnected at any time.

Chen Yang shook his head first, then nodded, "I just heard something about it. According to historical records, the sixteenth generation of the Mountain King died on the Golden Summit of Mount Emei hundreds of years ago. How did you..."

"Haha, look at me like this, do I look like I'm still alive?" The other party said something meaningful to Chen Yang.

Chen Yang looked at him in surprise.

However, Chen Yang did not feel any vitality from this body.

But, maybe the other party is very powerful?
Shanjun Tan Jue is recorded in historical documents as a being at the level of a celestial being. For a being at the level of a celestial being, it shouldn't be a big problem for him to hide here and practice in seclusion, living for hundreds or even thousands of years, right?

"Senior, what are you doing..." Chen Yang looked at him in confusion.

Tan Jue sighed, "You guys named Chen and I are really entangled in cause and effect. In the battle on the Golden Summit, I fought one against five, but was eventually defeated. My three flowers were cut off and my life force was destroyed. Chen Tianyang and his men were grateful for my love for my wife and let me take care of my funeral..."

"I came back here and soon passed away here. Now, time has passed, and you are the first person to come here. Your last name is also Chen. My friend, are you related to Chen Tianyang?"

Chen Yang didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Senior, I only know that he is the seventeenth Lord of Shushan. Apart from that, I have no relationship with this Lord Chen..."

How could Chen Yang be related to a person who lived hundreds of years ago? There were many people with the last name Chen in the world, and he didn't have the habit of randomly claiming ancestors.

Tan Jue was somewhat surprised. "The seventeenth? Then, who is the current Lord of Shushan?"

"There are no mountain kings in Shushan now."

"Oh?"

"After Chen Tianyang, the eighteenth generation of Shushan Mountain Lord was named Zhao Quanzhen. After Zhao Quanzhen passed away four hundred years ago, there has been no more Shushan Mountain Lord."

"Why?"

Tan Jue was obviously puzzled. How could the mighty Shu Mountain, with its thousands of mountains and peaks, be governed without a mountain king?

Chen Yang told him about the current situation.

Not to mention the mountain king, now even the mountain guards are gone.

Times have changed.

After listening to this, Tan Jue remained silent for a long time.

Obviously, the modern world that Chen Yang introduced to him was too different from the world in his memory, and he was unable to understand it for a while.

"hehe."

Liang Xiang smiled bitterly, full of emotion, "Time has really changed, the world has changed, the new generation replaces the old, time can really erase everything..."

Chen Yang raised his eyebrows, "Senior, you said, you are dead?"

"Yes, the body is dead and the soul is extinguished, so isn't that death?" Tan Jue said.

"Then you now..."

Chen Yang looked at him in confusion. Since your body is dead and your soul is extinguished, who is talking to me now?
Tan Jue said, "It's just a remnant soul that lives on because of its obsession. If you come later, once this treasure lamp goes out, I'm afraid this remnant soul won't be able to hold on..."

"Remnant soul?"

Chen Yang's gaze fell on the lotus lantern in his hand. The faint blue flame was only as big as a bean, and it seemed as if it would be extinguished by a gust of wind.

"Since you know me, you should have heard my story, right?" asked Tan Jue.

Chen Yang nodded and told Tan Jue the story he had read in the book. "I wonder if there is any deviation from what is said in the book?"

"Oh, that's pretty much it. Back then, I did make a big mistake for my own selfish desires. This may be God's punishment for me."

Tan Jue said sadly, "My friend, if we want to meet, it means we are destined to meet. Could you please do me a favor?"

Chen Yang frowned slightly when he heard this. "Senior, you don't want me to help you revive your wife, do you? This is probably beyond my scope. I don't know if the corpse in the coffin outside is your wife. If so... Senior, the body has already decayed. Even if a Daluo Jinxian descends to the world, I'm afraid he won't be able to revive her..."

"Well, if you don't mind, listen to me nagging for a while."

Tan Jue sighed and told his story, "Lian'er and I were childhood sweethearts. We entered the Emei Xianfeng Temple together, practiced together, and grew up together. We were never apart for a day. That year, we both broke through the spiritual realm. Master asked us to go down the mountain to gain experience. When we passed through southern Hunan, we were ambushed by villains. I was poisoned and my body was covered with sores. I knew I would not live long. It was she who tested the poison on herself and found the antidote for me..."

"When I woke up, I couldn't find her. I panicked and couldn't find her anywhere. The old lady who took care of me told me that she had ruined her appearance by testing poison for me. She didn't want me to see her, so she left me and went away..."

"I have been looking for her. I have been looking for her everywhere, from the south to the north. My efforts paid off. After thirty-three years, I finally found her in Yuzhou. She is very good, and so am I. We got married and settled down in Yuzhou. We have lived a stable life for more than fifty years. During these fifty years, I tried my best to help her restore her appearance. We both entered the realm of creation..."

"Originally, I thought we would continue like this, becoming a pair of immortal lovers living in seclusion in the city. However, things did not go as planned. The war broke out, the master called us, and the interests of our family and country forced us to go back..."

"That year, during the battle of Xianren Pass, we followed our master's order and went to help. That battle... was truly a turbulent one. A fierce general appeared among the Jin people, holding a sledgehammer and with unparalleled combat power..."

"The battlefield at that time will have established rules. The Daozhen Realm and Tianren Realm cultivators can only supervise the battle and cannot fight on the battlefield. The main force of the battlefield will fall on us, the Creation Realm cultivators..."
