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

Chapter 631: Chunyang Temple Zizhi Cave, Tiger Tomb!

"Xiaoyang!"

Before getting into the car, Fiona Sit suddenly stopped, held the car door, turned around and looked at Chen Yang in the crowd.

"What's wrong, Sister Qi?"

Fiona Sit hesitated for a moment and asked, "What does it mean to chop off a corpse?"

"Ok?"

Chen Yang was stunned. He never expected Fiona Sit to ask this question.

"Before Grandpa died, he kept talking about chopping up corpses and being in heaven..."

When Fiona Sit said this, she smiled bitterly, shook her head, and got into the car without waiting for Chen Yang to answer her.

The car drove away quickly.

Chen Yang stood there, a little dazed.

"what happened?"

Li Chunxiao and Qinzhou came over.

Chen Yang came back to his senses and shook his head, "I don't know why, but I feel empty."

"Ugh."

Qin Zhou sighed. His mood was even more complicated than Chen Yang's.

Li Chunxiao said, "Anyway, everything is over. Relax, the future will continue. We have people watching Raojiang. If there is any unusual movement, we will notify you in time."

"Thank you, Aunt Xiao, for letting you come with me." Chen Yang said gratefully.

Li Chunxiao shook his head. "If you have time, go to Mangshan. Your aunt misses you very much."

"Ah."

Chen Yang responded.

Li Chunxiao also said goodbye and left.

……

Following Qiao Hongjun and others to the association building, Chen Yang briefly talked about some of the things Xue Chonghua said before his death.

In particular, he said that he wanted the association to immediately gather strong men from all factions to wipe out the Gu Shen Cult.

After hearing this, Qiao Hongjun and others could only smile bitterly.

In fact, Monk Xuanjing had already conveyed this to them when they were at Tianhua Temple.

Indeed, these words coming from Xue Chonghua have enough weight and are enough to attract attention.

However, although he attached importance to it, he did not explain the reason and did not consider the reality at all.

The association had known about the threat posed by the Gu God Cult a long time ago, and there was no need for Xue Chonghua to remind them. Moreover, the association also had a plan to take action against the Gu God Cult.

But the main problem we are facing now is the cost of the cleanup.

The antidote for the Discipline Worm has not yet been fully developed, the hidden dangers have not been eliminated, and we don’t even know how many masters from various factions have joined the Gu God Cult and are controlled by it.

If you raise your arms and launch a general attack on the Gu Shen Cult at this time, I am afraid that many sects will suffer setbacks.

If that happens, the loss will be too great.

Xue Chonghua was not a person of the spiritual world after all, and he said this without considering the consequences at all.

But from the perspective of Qiao Hongjun and others, there are many things that have to be considered.

opportunity!

It's still about the timing. To wipe out the Gu God Cult, we have to wait for an opportunity, or at least wait for the antidote to come out and put out the fire in our own backyard first.

"I don't quite understand why Mr. Xue is so anxious for us to wipe out the Gu Shen Cult. What exactly does he know?" Wang Yuanchao said in the office.

Chen Yang shook his head. He also wanted to know the answer.

Qiao Hongjun said, "The answer is actually not difficult to guess. I just contacted the headquarters, and our insider in the headquarters sent back a message saying that the leader of the Gushen Cult showed up in Raojiang not long ago. It is said that his realm has entered the late stage of the Daozhen realm..."

"Late Dao Zhen realm?"

Liu Jianguo frowned slightly, "If it's just the late Dao Zhen realm, it shouldn't be so urgent, right? Which of the top sects in the country doesn't have a late Dao Zhen realm strongman in charge?"

Including Emei, there are three great Dao Zhen realm powerhouses, among whom there is one who is in the late Dao Zhen realm.

It is not uncommon to be in the late stage of Daozhen Realm.

Qiao Hongjun said, "For a person in the late Dao Zhen realm, the impact may not be significant, but what if he breaks through the Tian Ren realm?"

"Heavenly Realm?"

Everyone was a little surprised when they heard this.

"How can this be?"

Liu Jianguo shook his head, incredulous. "In the past four hundred years, no one has been able to reach that realm. The late Daozhen realm is already the peak..."

"Yes, isn't it said that the road to heaven has long been cut off, and it is impossible for the heavenly realm to be born in the future?" Wang Yuanchao said.

"Who can say for sure?"

Qiao Hongjun sighed, "Legends are just legends. Unless you have reached the late Dao Zhen realm, who can be sure that it is true? That realm is beyond our imagination. Who can guarantee that the leader of the Gu Shen Cult has extraordinary talent and can connect the severed Heavenly Road..."

"This……"

Liu Jianguo and others were all stunned, and for a moment, they didn't know how to express their opinions.

Chen Yang was confused. "What are you talking about? What is the Heavenly Road?"

Several people shook their heads.

Qiao Hongjun said, "It is said that this is the only way for Dao Zhen Realm masters to break through to Tian Ren Realm. I am not a Dao Zhen Realm master, so I cannot tell you exactly what it is..."

Chen Yang looked at King Liu and the other two.

The two also shook their heads, "We are only in the spiritual realm, so we don't know much more."

Chen Yang's eyebrows were raised one higher than the other in a grin. If you don't know anything, then what's the point of talking about it?

"Do you think that the leader of the Gushen Cult is very likely trying to reach the Heavenly Man Realm, so Xue Chonghua is so anxious?"

"It's not impossible. Mr. Xue must know something, but for some reason, he can't explain it..."

"Yes, [Heart-eating Gu], maybe Elder Xue has also been infected by [Heart-eating Gu], and he is speechless..."

……

The three old men were talking to each other, all guessing. Chen Yang was sitting next to them and didn't say a word.

Is it true that Xue Chonghua doesn't dare to tell the truth because of the [Heart-Eating Gu]?

Chen Yang thought otherwise. He was already a dying man, so what was there for him to worry about?
Moreover, he is a miracle doctor. Even though the poison is powerful, he should have no way to suppress it, right?
Xue Chonghua said at the time that it could not be told, because if he told it, he would know.

Who is this [he]?
The leader of the Gushen Cult?
Could it be that Xue Chonghua was also being monitored by someone using some means, just like Xiao Sanhuai monitored Murong Qian, and that there was someone's mental imprint left on him?
So that's why Xue Chonghua was hesitant, afraid that if he revealed certain information, it would be discovered by the person behind the scenes?

Chen Yang had such a guess in his mind.

Of course, it's just a guess.

There were too many questions that troubled him.

Whatever the truth is, perhaps they will know once they and Xuan Jing go to the mountain lion's tomb on Mount Er'e.

……

The three old men chatted for a while.

Qiao Hongjun said, "Things here are settled now. The General Assembly will call me back. I have to leave for Beijing tomorrow!"

"Is it so urgent?" King Liu and the other two were a little surprised.

"This time when I came to Shu, the task given to me was to deal with the [Twelve Zodiac Tai Sui Chaotian Bureau]. This matter has been over long ago, and then so many other things were involved. It has been delayed for too long. Now that the dust has settled, it's time to go back!" Qiao Hongjun said.

Chen Yang said, "Mr. Qiao, Zhang Guohua hasn't been caught yet!"

Qiao Hongjun shook his head. "Master Yuanlong and the others are watching over Zhang Guohua's matter. It doesn't matter whether I'm here or not. I'll keep in touch..."

The matter with Zhang Guohua was just an accident, not the mission of Qiao Hongjun's visit to Shu this time.

His mission was only to resolve the [Taisui Chaotian Situation]. After the battle in the Bamianshan Underground Palace, his mission had actually ended.

Moreover, the headquarters is also waiting for his detailed report on Xiao Sanhuai's death.

"You left too suddenly!" said Chen Yang.

"Yes, it would be nice to stay a few more days!" Wang Yuanchao said.

Qiao Hongjun smiled and said, "The world is unpredictable. All good things must come to an end. It's not like we will never see each other again. Before I go back to Beijing, I have to go back to Zixia Temple. Senior Brother has summoned me, but I don't know what he wants me to do..."

Having said that, there was nothing anyone could do to stop him.

……

In the evening, Liu Jianguo and others hosted a dinner and set up several tables in Sufangzhai as a reward for Qiao Hongjun.

It was a completely vegetarian banquet, and the people present were a bunch of old men, who were very boring. They were still chatting non-stop after the meal.

The show didn't end until almost twelve o'clock, and Chen Yang went to Wang Yuanchao's house to stay.

As for Qinzhou, Xue Chonghua's death made him feel a little bad, and he went back to Lingjiang alone after the dinner.

Chen Yang did not plan to take him to Er'e Mountain. After all, the old man was a little weaker now. Last time, he almost lost his life in the bottomless cave of Longmen Mountain. Although Xuan Jing was with him this time, he was not a bodyguard. If he encountered any danger, he might not be able to take care of him.

in the room.

Chen Yang took out the things Xue Chonghua gave him.

A cocooned corpse worm and a dragon-shaped jade pendant.

Chen Yang could feel a faint breath in the cocoon of this corpse worm.

It's not dead yet, but it will be soon.

The Three Corpses Divine Tree said, "This bug has already possessed Xue Chonghua's body once, and has been fused with his for decades. It can still be separated. It can only be said to be a miracle. Even if my original body takes action, it may not work. This Xue Chonghua, or Ding Huanchun, is indeed quite capable."

Chen Yang picked up the insect and looked at it carefully. It had fallen into a dormant state and its breath was extremely weak.

"It has run out of energy and is no longer able to possess another body."

The Three Corpses Divine Tree seemed a little regretful. “If only my real body was here, I could try to recover it. Maybe I could even read some of its memories.”

"Oh?"

Chen Yang's eyes lit up when he heard this. "Are you sure? Can you read its memory?"

"I'm not sure about its current condition, but if my original body takes action, I should be able to read part of it."

The Three Corpse Divine Tree didn't dare to say anything. After all, his current body was in a sealed state. If Chen Yang really took this thing to the underground palace to let it read, it would consume a lot of his body.

Some parts are good too!

As long as we can obtain Xue Chonghua's memory, we will naturally know what he wants to say but dares not say.

"It seems that I need to go to the underground palace again?" Chen Yang raised his eyebrows.

The Three Corpse God Tree was annoyed, a little regretful for having said too much just now, "We have to hurry up, this bug won't last for a few days. If it dies, there's nothing I can do."

"Ah."

Chen Yang nodded slightly, without saying anything more, and put away the Three Corpse worm cocoon.

He picked up the dragon-shaped jade pendant again.

The jade pendant is not big, the material is translucent, the shape is very simple, the surface is delicate and smooth, and it is covered with patina.

After studying it for a while, I still couldn't figure it out.

"You say, this thing won't have a pit, right?"

Chen Yang did not dare to rashly probe his spiritual sense into it. After all, this thing was given to him by Xue Chonghua, so he was still on guard.

“Who knows?” said the Three Corpses Divine Tree.

Chen Yang said, "How about you use your soul to go in and take a look?"

"Is there something wrong with my brain?"

The Three Corpses Divine Tree refused awkwardly, you are treating me like a devil, you are afraid of traps, so why shouldn’t I be afraid?
Chen Yang picked up the jade pendant and held it up to the light.

Apart from its crystal clearness and high-quality jade, there is nothing strange about it.

Forget it, no matter if it’s a scam or not, I’ll just throw it into the system warehouse. Even if it’s a scam, what can it do to me?
Thinking of this, he stopped studying it blindly and directly put the jade pendant away.

Go out and come to the balcony.

It was just past twelve o'clock and the moonlight outside was bright.

Chen Yang sat cross-legged on the balcony, sacrificed the Three Flowers, and began to practice the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head magical skill.

……

-

One night without words, the next day.

At the foot of Er'e Mountain.

A Song poet wrote: "The two E'em Mountains face each other, with the Small E'em Mountain leading the Middle E'em Mountain. The beauty of the three E'em Mountains is the best in the world, so why bother crossing the sea to find Penglai?"

Er'e, also known as Suishan, is located south of Shao'e City. Ge Hong said in Baopuzi: "Da'e and Er'e are both mountains where true gods reside, or where there are earthly immortals."

After the Song Dynasty, the Taoist sect on Mount Da'emu gradually moved to Mount Er'emu and Mount Qingshen, and Buddhism on Mount Da'emu flourished, becoming the place of practice for Samantabhadra Bodhisattva.

The Qitian Temple and Chunyang Temple that Chen Yang knew were both on the Er'e Mountain.

But now they have all declined and there is no heritage left.

With the death of the last mountain king of Shushan and the chaos in the late Ming Dynasty, the Er'e Mountain Taoist sect suffered heavy losses.

With the passage of time, the palaces and temples on the mountain have withered and the broken walls and ruins are buried in the deep mountains and dense forests. The fairyland of the past is now only a desolate mountain and a cold moon, which is miserable.

This time I came to Er'e Mountain, not to sightsee or reminisce about the past. According to Xue Chonghua, the tomb of Chen Tianyang, the seventeenth mountain king of Shu Mountain, is in Er'e Mountain.

There were eighteen generations of mountain kings in Mount Shu, all of them were celestial beings. They left behind long-standing legends in the mountains of Shu, but only a few of them left behind tombs.

The strong people in the realm of heaven and man are extremely powerful and have a very long lifespan. Whether they are dead or not, where they died, and where they are buried are all mysteries.

Xuan Jing should know more information.

An old man and a young boy went up the mountain early in the morning and walked through the woods in the morning sun.

It is already April and the weather has long since warmed up. There are many peach trees on the mountain and the peach blossoms are in bloom, with the fragrance of flowers everywhere.

Xuan Jing said, "It is said that during the reign of King Cheng of Zhou, the immortal Ge You carved a sheep out of wood, rode the sheep into Shu, ate peaches from Mount Sui, and ascended to heaven in broad daylight. The peaches from Mount Er'e are quite famous. In a few days, when the peach blossoms are in full bloom, the mountain will be a wonderful sight again."

Chen Yang looked up and said, "The scenery is beautiful, but unfortunately, most of the Taoist temples on this mountain are in ruins. It's really a pity."

"Ugh."

Xuan Jing sighed, "The world has changed so much. When we were young, the Daoist sects on Er'e Mountain were still able to stand firm. There were many well-known temples at that time, such as the Qitian Temple, the Chunyang Temple, the Jiuhuang Temple, and the Chongtian Yihe Temple. At least some of them were in the realm of creation. Unfortunately, after a great war, they all withered away. Even our Da'e Mountain Buddhist sect was greatly affected..."

What he was talking about was the great battle between the Qitian Temple and the Pingtian Sect's Shi Zunzhu more than a hundred years ago.

The number of strong men participating in that battle and the number of strong men lost were beyond imagination.

Since the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Taoist sect of Er'e Mountain, which had finally recovered some vitality, fell into complete decline. Even the Buddhist sect of D'e Mountain was severely damaged by that battle.

The past is hard to recall. Xuan Jing was also an eyewitness of the battle back then. Although Da'e and Er'e are respectively Buddhists and Taoists, they are of the same blood. Everyone calls each other senior and junior brothers. Now when he revisits the old place and looks at the ruins, he naturally thinks of the familiar faces back then.

All kinds of emotions came to my mind, and in the end, only sighing and sadness were left.

"Ugh!"

Xuan Jing let out a long sigh, expressing all his helplessness.

……

It took them an hour or so to reach Chunyang Temple.

The palace was in ruins, with weeds and moss everywhere. No one had taken care of it for a long time. It looked desolate everywhere, and an inexplicable sadness came over me.

The Yu Lianshan that Chen Yang was looking for was the Kun faction disciple of the Chunyang Temple. Unfortunately, no one could be seen in the temple now.

Under Xuan Jing's leadership, the two went around to the back of Chunyang Temple.

Zizhi Cave!
Zizhi Cave, also known as Pig Liver Cave, is located on the cliff behind Chunyang Temple. According to legend, Chunyang Zhenren Lu Dongbin once sat in seclusion here to make elixirs, and Ganoderma lucidum was also produced in the cave.

It is said that Chunyang Temple was once very popular and flourishing, but now it has become history.

Chen Tianyang, the seventeenth generation mountain lord of Shushan, was a disciple of Chunyang Temple, but that was nearly a thousand years ago.

The last mountain king, Zhao Quanzhen, came from Qitian Temple, which was also several hundred years old.

Xuan Jing obviously already knew the exact location of the mountain lion's tomb and walked straight into the Zizhi Cave.

Dao Zhenjing is just arrogant. He doesn't care whether this is a dangerous place or not, or whether there is any danger. He completely ignores it.

This is called being skilled and daring. No matter how dangerous it is, in my eyes, it is not dangerous.

Following Xuan Jing, Chen Yang also felt safe.

It's great that he encountered a spiritual creature from the Daozhen realm, but how many of the spiritual creatures from the Daozhen realm could stand up in front of this divine monk?

The cave was quite humid. After walking about a hundred meters inside, I could hear water dripping down from the cave walls and a musty smell filled the air.

No one has been here for a while, so there are quite a few spider webs.

We didn't encounter any danger along the way.

The tunnel went from wide to narrow, and then from narrow to wide, winding back and forth. After walking for about ten minutes, a round stone blocked the road ahead.

The cave was blocked by stones and covered with moss.

Chen Yang used radar to detect and found that the stone should have rolled in from the tunnel at the back. The tunnel at the back was obviously much wider and there were traces of rolling on the ground.

But the traces are very old, and I'm afraid the stone has been blocking this place for some time.

He walked forward and pushed the stone.

Very heavy.

The stone itself is very heavy and it is stuck firmly on the wall of the cave.

Chen Yang tried it, but the stone did not loosen.

Although he did not use his true energy, he still had the strength of a dragon. Even if he used all his strength, he might not be able to move the stone.

"Step aside."

Xuan Jing said this, came to the stone, and punched it without saying anything.
