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

Chapter 632: Empty Tomb, Tooth Sutra!
"Oh!"

The stone was quite strong, but it couldn't withstand Xuan Jing's tremendous strength.

Chen Yang only felt the ground shaking, and the stone that was tightly stuck on the wall of the cave was directly blown out.

Rumble…

It rolled back more than 20 meters and got stuck on the wall of the cave at a bend.

This place was much more spacious and the stone could not completely block the cave passage. Xuan Jing walked forward and kicked it directly.

"Kaka..."

The stone shook violently, then broke into several pieces, spreading all over the ground.

fierce!
Chen Yang followed behind and was shocked.

Is this the power of the Dao Zhen realm? I wonder if I have the power of ten dragons. If that punch just now had hit me, I would probably have shattered into pieces like this stone, right?
Xuan Jing didn't even look at him and just walked past him.

The passage ahead became wider and wider, and it was dark everywhere. The sound of dripping water was all around my ears, which was quite creepy.

Chen Yang turned on the flashlight, and the bright light illuminated the surroundings.

After walking for a while, a stone gate appeared in front of the two.

The stone gate was more than ten feet high and made of bluestone. Chen Yang used his mental power to probe inside and found that the stone gate had the ability to block mental power and could not be penetrated at all.

Xuan Jing came to the door, reached out and gently pushed the stone door.

"boom……"

The stone door was ajar and was pushed open all at once.

Inside is a stone chamber, which is about one or two hundred square meters in size. Eight stone pillars carved with dragons and phoenixes support the dome.

There are several pearls inlaid on the dome, and the light of the pearls illuminates the stone chamber. There are several dry bones and swords and weapons scattered around.

The clothes on these dead bones have decayed, the flesh and blood have long since turned away, there are obvious scars on the bones, and there are also signs of fighting around them.

But it has been so long that it is impossible to tell the identities of these people.

Chen Yang looked around with a flashlight, and there was nothing around him.

There is a hole in the wall directly in front of you.

The entrance of the cave was jagged, obviously caused by a violent explosion, and there were traces of gunpowder burns on it.

"What a boast! These people even dared to rob a tiger's tomb."

Xuan Jing clasped his hands together and silently chanted the Mantra of Rebirth before looking at the hole. "The stones in this tomb have been specially refined to block spiritual power detection. I can't fully see what's inside. Tombs of this level usually have tomb guardian beasts. There may be danger in this tomb. Be careful."

"Ah."

Chen Yang responded, and saw that Xuan Jing's blood was surging all over his body, and the aura of the Dao Zhen realm was instantly fully opened, radiating forward.

What a good move to alert the enemy.

No matter what monsters and demons are in this tomb, anyone with a little wisdom and feeling such a terrifying aura would not run out to die.

This is the same as knocking on the door before entering a house.

Xuan Jing waited for a while before walking in.

Chen Yang turned on the radar and followed closely.

There should have been a door on the wall, but it was blown away. The wall was more than two meters thick, and I don’t know how much explosives these people used.

Xue Chonghua said that Ding Huanchun and Pang Guanglin had come here before, and it was also here that the two masters and apprentices fell out.

It’s possible that the people who died outside also came here with them.

As for what happened here back then and who these people were, no one knows after so many years.

The space inside is larger, about three or four hundred square meters, and the layout is similar to the outside. It should be the main tomb chamber.

In the middle of the tomb chamber, there is a sarcophagus.

The lid of the coffin had been opened and thrown casually aside. The coffin was empty and there was nothing in it.

"No body?"

Chen Yang was a little surprised.

"Not surprising."

Xuan Jing shook her head. "Let's not talk about whether his real body is buried here or not. The golden body of a celestial being is full of treasures. Even if his real body is here, I'm afraid it has been stolen long ago..."

Chen Yang frowned slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.

Xuan Jing fumbled around in the coffin, looking so serious, like a tomb robber.

But unfortunately, after searching for a long time, I didn’t find anything useful.

"Master, come and see!"

At this time, Chen Yang came to the wall of the tomb chamber. The light from the flashlight in his hand made the wall of the tomb chamber bright and dazzling.

Xuan Jing paused, clapped her hands, and walked towards Chen Yang.

Following Chen Yang's gaze, Xuan Jing looked up and saw obvious marks of sword cuts on the wall.

Beneath these traces, there are vaguely some words carved, but many of them are difficult to recognize.

The tomb chamber has eight sides and eight walls, with many words engraved on the walls. However, without exception, all of them have been damaged by swords and knives, and only a few words can be recognized.

"It looks like it was destroyed intentionally. It should contain some important information. Master Xuan Jing, look here..."

Chen Yang stood at the foot of the north wall. Although it was severely damaged and only a few words could be recognized, there were a few words engraved deeply at the top of the wall.

Although it was intentionally damaged, traces of the writing can still be barely discerned.

"Three, one, five..."

Chen Yang used all his eyesight to identify it carefully, "Master, it looks like a number, could it be a code?"

Chen Yang looked around, trying to find where the code mechanism was.

"No."

Xuan Jing took a closer look, but shook his head repeatedly, with a slightly surprised expression on his face, "It's the [Three One Five Tooth Sutra]!"

"What sutra?"

Chen Yang was stunned for a moment and didn't hear clearly.

What the hell is 【315 Ya Jing】? Why is the name so weird?
March 15?
Consumer rights protection or something?
Xuan Jing said, "The Three-One-Five Tooth Sutra is a Taoist classic. When I was young, I heard about the existence of this classic from my teachers and elders. According to legend, in ancient times, the Supreme Taoist Lord incarnated as Tian Huang Zhenren and taught the way to Emperor Xuanyuan Huangdi in Emei. The immortal method taught by the Supreme Taoist Lord is called the Three-One-Five Tooth Sutra."

Chen Yang was stunned. Just tell a story. Is there any need to go so far?

It was all done back to the ancient times.

How many years ago was that?

At this time, he looked at the wall again.

The two words after 【三一五】are a little blurry, but after Xuan Jing's hint, it seems that they are really 【牙经】.

The Three One Five Tooth Sutra?
Isn’t this name too weird?
"So, there is a set of skills engraved on this wall. Someone came in here, got the skills, and then destroyed them?"

Chen Yang raised his eyebrows.

Cross the river and demolish the bridge?

The person who destroyed the wall only wants to see it himself and not let others see it. He has an extremely narrow mind.

Xuan Jing didn't say anything, but just kept looking at the stone wall carefully, trying to identify what was on it.

But unfortunately, the stone wall was so badly damaged that it was simply not realistic.

Xuan Jing's mouth moved slightly, and she was obviously cursing.

"Master, is this 315 Tooth Sutra very powerful?" Chen Yang asked curiously.

Xuan Jing shook her head. "I have only heard of the legend. How can I know whether it is powerful or not? But if the legend is true, the technique passed down by the Supreme Taoist, and passed on to Emperor Xuanyuan, must be a rare book of immortals, a first-class magical skill..."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang looked at the marks of damage on the wall and felt a little sad.

Xuan Jing said, "I don't know much about this technique. I just heard from my seniors that the [Three One Five Tooth Sutra] seems to be a technique specifically for cultivating the Yuan Shen. I'm afraid I'll have to go back and look for more information on the specific situation."

Chen Yang had no objection.

He searched the stone chamber again, but didn't see anything suspicious.

No other secret rooms or secret doors were found. "This mountain king tomb is only this small, it's a bit too shabby." Chen Yang said.

It is indeed shabby, just this big. Apart from an empty coffin and some destroyed scriptures, there are only some innocent souls who died here in vain.

Xuan Jing shook her head. "Life is nothing but a dream. No matter how glorious your life is, it is enough to have a three-foot burial site after death. What's the point of having a bigger one?"

After checking around and finding nothing else, he took Chen Yang out.

Chen Yang said, "The mountain king's tomb in Si'e Mountain is much bigger than this one. There is also a beast of the Creation Realm guarding it. The scene is indeed much bigger than this one..."

Xuan Jing said nothing.

Coming out of Zizhi Cave, Chen Yang said, "Master, it's still early. How about we go to the Si'e Mountain? I know the location of Zhao Shanjun's tomb..."

He was thinking about the mountain king's tomb in Si'e Mountain. With Xuan Jing's strength, it should not be difficult to get rid of the beast guarding the tomb. Who knows what good things there might be in the tomb.

Hearing this, Xuan Jing shook her head and smiled bitterly, "Do you really think I'm a tomb robber?"

It's a nice tomb, why are you disturbing it?
If Xue Chonghua hadn't said he had an answer, he might not have come here today.

It is not a good thing for a good person to go to someone's cemetery and mess around, disturbing their rest. What's more, Xuan Jing is a highly respected monk.

Chen Yang was disappointed, so he gave up his little idea.

"Are you going back just like that?"

Not to mention finding any clues, he didn't even encounter a spiritual creature blocking his way. He felt like he had made a wasted trip.

In the past, when I came to places like this, there would always be some trouble, but this time it was surprisingly smooth. I didn’t find any clues, and I didn’t encounter any danger.

Xuan Jing didn't say much. She looked up at the sky. It was not even noon yet. "Accompany me to the Nine Emperors Temple."

"Nine Emperors Temple?" Chen Yang looked at him puzzledly.

"I'm visiting an old friend. I haven't been here for a long time."

Xuan Jing shook his head and sighed.

He then left Chunyang Temple and continued walking into the mountains with Chen Yang.

"Xue Chonghua told me that as long as we come to Chen Shanjun's tomb, we will naturally understand cause and effect. However, there is nothing in the tomb. Master, have you seen anything?"

Xue Chonghua also said that with his intelligence, he would be able to tell at a glance when the time comes. However, it now seems that Xue Chonghua obviously overestimated him, and he is still completely confused.

This guy is the same. He is dead, but he still leaves some mysteries.

Xuan Jing said, "He wouldn't be aimless. The problem might be the destroyed scripture on the wall..."

Chen Yang nodded slightly. "The scripture was destroyed intentionally. It's obvious that they were hiding some secret. Unfortunately, we only know the name of the scripture, and its content is destroyed beyond repair..."

At this point, Chen Yang thought of something and looked at Xuan Jing who was walking in front of him, "Master, is the content of this scripture preserved in Baoguo Temple?"

"Ah."

Xuan Jing shook her head and smiled, "That is a Taoist classic. Although there are many Taoist classics hidden in the temple, the [Three One Five Tooth Sutra] is an ancient book that has long been lost in Taoism. No matter how rich the collection of books in the temple is, it is impossible to have this classic..."

Chen Yang frowned slightly.

Xuan Jing slowed down his pace. "There's no need to rush this matter. After I get back, I'll ask someone to look up the information about this scripture. Although the ancient books have been lost, there should be quite a few legends about it circulating in the cultivation world..."

Chen Yang nodded and said suddenly, "There is no body in the coffin. Master, you said that Mr. Chen is not dead?"

"Oh, young people, your mind is so active, right?"

Xuan Jing smiled, "Could it be that you want to say that Chen Shanjun is still alive today, and the last thing Xue Chonghua wanted to say but didn't dare to say was this Shanjun? Or even that he is the mysterious leader behind the Gushen Cult?"

Chen Yang pinched his chin, "Is there no possibility at all?"

Xuan Jing shook her head. "Every mountain lord of Shushan must not only be powerful, but also have noble character. Someone like Tan Jue who is possessed by a demon is just an exception."

"The seventeenth generation of the Mountain Lord, Chen Tianyang, was recorded in the Emei Annals. He died in the battle of Northern Mongolia. The history books speak highly of him. Such a heroic figure could not be the kind of person you are talking about."

"Besides, if he could live till now, he would probably be over a thousand years old. A cultivator in the Creation Realm can live for more than two hundred years, twice as long in the Dao Zhen Realm, and twice as long again in the Heavenly Man Realm..."

"The celestial beings are not immortal. They also have a time when their life span runs out. The so-called Five Decays of the Celestial Beings comes from this. The strong ones in the celestial realm can live for more than 800 years, and some can even live for more than a thousand years..."

“However, the path of cultivation is bumpy and rugged. Over a thousand years, one will encounter various accidents, such as vendettas or minor calamities that occur once every sixty years. These may cause a Heavenly Man Realm expert to fall, especially during changes of dynasties, wars on earth, and catastrophes of heaven and earth. Once a Heavenly Man Realm expert is involved and swept up in the general trend, the probability of his fall is extremely high…”

"Besides, do you know how long a thousand years is? I have only lived for two hundred years and have seen countless births and deaths. Sometimes I feel like I've lived enough. In history, there are many powerful people in the Heaven Realm who chose to end their lives because they had lived enough..."

“So, there are indeed powerful people in the Heavenly Man Realm who can truly live for a thousand years and live for more than a thousand years, but they are rare, and many of them die before reaching that age.”

……

Chen Yang just felt that his eyes were opened. Isn't the purpose of cultivation to achieve immortality? Are there people who have lived enough and think their life is too long?
You've reached the state of heaven, but you still want to end your life?
Simply amazing.

However, he thought of Tan Jue. Wasn't it because of a woman that this former mountain king was willing to fall into the path of evil, give up his prominent status, and abandon all his cultivation?

So, just because you haven’t encountered this kind of thing doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.

"Throughout the dynasties, the position of the Lord of the Mountain was basically a lifelong system. The next Lord of the Mountain would be elected only after the previous Lord of the Mountain passed away. Therefore, if Lord Chen had not died, Lord Zhao would not have taken the throne."

"Even if he can survive, four hundred years ago, the Heavenly Road collapsed. In that catastrophe, all the people in the Heavenly Realm died. No one can escape..."

……

"What is the Heavenly Road?"

This was the second time Chen Yang heard this word.

"Oh! I don't know either. I want to know, too."

Xuan Jing sighed, "It is said that this is the only way for practitioners to enter the realm of heaven and man. What exactly is it like? Ha, if you are interested, I will tell you after I break through to the late stage of the Dao Zhen realm and take a peek."

When saying this, Xuan Jing's face showed some longing and some regret.

"Then, why is the road to heaven broken?" Chen Yang asked curiously.

Xuan Jing shook her head. "There are many different opinions about this incident in history. Some say that a certain peerless strongman forcibly cut off the Heavenly Road. Others say that it was the impact of national destiny that caused the Heavenly Road to collapse... Anyway, in the next four hundred years, no one has ever broken through the Heavenly Man Realm..."

"Has no one abroad ever broken through the Heavenly Man Realm?" Chen Yang asked.

Xuan Jing shook her head, "No."

Chen Yang said, "So the theory of national destiny should not hold water."

Xuan Jing did not comment, "What I say now is just like flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water. When we really reach that state in the future, we will see the truth."

As the two chatted, they passed through a dense forest and a dilapidated Taoist temple appeared in front of them.

A long staircase leads to the mountain gate, which is covered with dead leaves, grass, vines and moss. The mountain gate has fallen to one side and rubble is everywhere.

The place was devastated and in ruins.

A plaque was hung diagonally at the door, with three words written on it, vaguely visible.

Nine Emperors Temple.

There are more than ten palaces in the temple. The palace walls are mottled and in ruins. There are weeds everywhere in the cracks of the stones in the courtyard. There is a big tripod in the middle, which has been eroded beyond recognition by wind and rain.

The statues in the temple had collapsed, tiles were scattered everywhere, and the beams had become a haven for birds to build nests.

Xuan Jing said that he came to Jiuhuang Temple to see an old friend. This place is in such a dilapidated state. Does it look like anyone lives there?
Following Xuan Jing to the backyard, a peach forest appeared in front of Chen Yang.

The peach blossoms were in bloom, some pink and some white, dotted on the trees. The fragrance of the flowers wafted in the wind, and Chen Yang felt relaxed all over.

There are several old graves in the woods.

"Wait for me here, don't go too far."

Xuan Jing said something to Chen Yang and then walked straight towards the old graves.

It turned out that this was the old friend Xuan Jing mentioned.

It would not be appropriate for him to follow others when they were visiting the graves, so he wandered around in the peach forest for a while. Xuan Jing was still chanting in front of the Buddha, and he didn't know how long it would take to finish.

The Taoist priest was reciting Buddhist scriptures in front of the grave. I really don’t know what he was thinking.

Chen Yang was bored, so he went to Jiuhuang Temple alone.

……

Seven stars shine in the Big Dipper, and the Nine Emperors shine in the sky!

The Jiuhuang Temple covers a large area and has more than ten temples, where the Nine Emperor Star Gods of the Big Dipper, including Tan Lang, Ju Men and Po Jun, are enshrined.

Most of the palaces are in ruins. Some have even collapsed due to the erosion of time, and their former splendor is no longer recognizable.
