The author of the book "The Book of the Dead"

Chapter 83: Guarding the Corpse in the Underworld, the Underground Dynasty

Despite Sima Daozi's verbal bombardment, Liang Yue remained unmoved.

Those who practice Taoism also have their minds tempered.

How can the mentality of the immortal species be understood by the short-lived species?
Although parting is full of regrets, it also makes people full of fighting spirit.

If there comes a day when everything is achieved, then all regrets will be healed.

If one has no hope in practicing in this worldly life, what is the difference between him and a stone?

"Sima Daozi, I don't know whether others will die or not, but you will definitely live for a very long time."

Liang Yue was unwilling to conduct experiments on human beings, especially innocent people, as the foreign blood and energy might affect their foundation.

Therefore, he did not dare to take risks, nor was he willing to do anything that would go against the harmony of nature.

Sima Daozi's face fell, and his arrogant and domineering attitude just now disappeared. He smiled helplessly and said:
"Forget it, forget it. You are the butcher and I am the meat. You can do whatever you want with me. I'll leave this 107 kilograms to you."

He is a serious person, with both zeros and integers.

Liang Yue couldn't help but laugh and said, "Not really. I don't have the habit of torturing people. Prince Langya, please rest assured."

If it was an enemy, he would choose to kill him directly instead of torturing him like an animal.

This is something only the barbarians can do.

Unless there is a blood feud, that is another matter.

After saying that, Liang Yue took a step forward, injected a stream of true energy into his body, used the Qin Wang Mingjing to study Sima Daozi's body structure, and occasionally let him bleed a little to study the Stealing Heaven Pill.

……

Time passes little by little.

After Liang Yue came out of seclusion to pacify the rear, there was no unrest in the Three Wu areas for more than half a year, and people's livelihood recovered very quickly.

Perhaps one day, the Southeast will become an economic powerhouse.

This day, early morning.

The rising sun in the east shone on the rooftops. Not far away came the long howl of the Golden Crow, the barking of Xiaotian's dog, and Xie Xuan who was sitting cross-legged on the rooftops and treetops, absorbing the "purple air from the East".

A figure tiptoed and sneaked towards the Penglai Alchemy Room.

On the way, he met Liang Jingming who was sleeping under a tree. Liang Jingming was awakened by the noise. He happened to meet someone sneaking around. He was about to say hello, but was scared back by a warning look.

Passing by the door, Xiaotian saw this person and immediately ran away with his tail between his legs.

This person was wearing a veil, with a pair of starry eyes as lively as a deer, and her eyes were smiling into crescent shapes.

This person is Liang Heyun.

"I have now mastered the Pure Yang Inner Power to a small extent. Father shouldn't be able to tell, right?"

The Penglai Danshi is a forbidden area in Liuzhuang. No one is allowed to enter unless otherwise notified.

Since childhood, He Yun has always wanted to sneak into the Penglai Alchemy Room, but he would be caught by his father every time without exception.

The game of hide and seek has been going on for sixteen years.

Now that He Yun has become a top-notch master, his confidence has greatly increased, so he comes to challenge again.

“He Yun!!”

Before reaching the Penglai Dan Room, a calm voice came from inside.

With a creak, the door opened and a middle-aged Taoist priest walked out with a smile.

"Dad!" He Yun stepped forward and took his father's arm, "Just let me win once."

"What's the point of winning? You're too old." Liang Yue said unhappily.

He felt a little helpless about his daughter's childish nature, but this kind of innocent heart was rare and precious.

"Father, I heard Master talk about his travels around the world. How about I travel around the world too?"

Liang Yue frowned and scolded, "Don't go. You are still young and don't understand the dangers of the world."

"Yi Fu is with me."

"Yi Fu has to assist your uncle Liu in handling military affairs, so he doesn't have time to fool around with you."

After some "persuasion", he finally gave up his daughter's idea of traveling around the world.

Liang Yue thought to himself, no wonder his daughter was willing to get close to him today, it turned out that she had this trick up her sleeve.

The daughter was depressed, but she recovered in a moment and said, "Dad, I also hid something. You are not allowed to find it. Wait until I get married before you can find it out!"

Liang Heyun did not say where it was hidden because she knew that no matter how deep it was hidden, her father would find it.

"Okay, we'll see when the time comes."

The ghost immortal guards the house and sees through everything, so Liang Yue deliberately skips that place.

After sending his daughter away, Liang Yue returned to his old place.

Inside the alchemy room, there was an extremely detailed diagram of the human meridians hanging on the wall. There were various thin lines on it, which looked like the paths of the internal force, as well as incomprehensible terms.

Liang Yue is studying the Heaven Stealing Skill.

As the true energy began to decline, practicing martial arts had little effect, so I simply turned to studying internal strength. Perhaps in the next life, my soul would break through and my internal strength practice would be greatly improved.

He put the book down, disappeared, and appeared in the basement.

In the basement, Sima Daozi was neat and tidy. When he saw Liang Yue, he said dissatisfiedly:

"Shanbo, bring me some wine, I want to drink!"

When there is nothing to do, call Liang Yue; when there is something to do, call Shanbo.

Sima Daozi had been immersed in officialdom for many years and was well versed in the art of changing one's face.

"If you're hungry, eat the fasting pills on the table. If you're full, who will help you clean up if you poop and pee everywhere?"

Sima Daozi was choked by these words and was speechless.

From childhood to adulthood, I have been in contact with noble families and famous teachers. How could I have heard such vulgar remarks?

When people discuss hermits, celebrities, talented men and beautiful women, they always ignore the fact that they also poop and pee; poop and pee are part of daily life and no one would bring it up in public.

"vulgar!"

But what he said made sense. Sima Daozi gave up the idea of drinking and eating meat. He was determined to maintain his demeanor even until his death. It was impossible for him to poop or pee in front of this person.

Soon, this guy calmed down a lot.

Liang Yue once again took out the Qin mirror and took a look at the man's internal organs. He continued to study the secret method and his medical knowledge grew rapidly.

……

In the blink of an eye, it is the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The autumn wind blows gently, bringing a hint of coolness, and the golden rice fields are everywhere. It is another harvest season.

The official road was covered with smoke and dust, with caravans coming and going, and the prosperous area of the Three Wus had taken shape.

Seven carriages came from Yuzhang.

The knights were guarding the convoy. The leader in the lead was wearing bright silver armor, with a long beard fluttering under his chin and a gleam in his eyes.

If Liang Yue and Zhu Yingtai were here, they would definitely recognize that this person is Zhu Xiongtai.

Xiongtai, who is over 40 years old, even had a grandson this year.

"Fortunately, I have the Pure Yang Skill taught by Shanbo, otherwise I would not be able to escape this time." Zhu Xiongtai was still afraid while riding on the horse.

Yuzhang was in chaos, with various forces competing for power and refugees suffering.

Fortunately, they had listened to Liang Yue's advice, trained a group of soldiers with high martial arts skills, and with the help of the fort to defend the house, they were finally able to withstand wave after wave of enemy attacks.

After discussing it, the family decided to go to their son-in-law for help. It was said that their son-in-law's eldest brother was doing very well now.

When the carriage arrived at Kuaiji, it was indeed a harmonious and peaceful place, and Zhu Xiongtai felt relieved.

Liuzhuang, the servant reports.

Liang Yue's family came to greet them.

“Grandpa!” “Grandpa!”

Heyun and Jingming came forward to greet them. Mother Zhu, who looked much older, held her two grandchildren and said cheerfully, "I haven't seen you for three years. Jingming and Heyun have grown up a lot. Let grandma take a good look at them."

Zhu Gongyuan was very domineering and gave each person two gold locks.

Three or five half-grown boys got off the other carriages, and Zhu's mother took Jingming and the other two to meet their grandchildren.

"Father-in-law, please go to Qingshan Garden to rest." Liang Yue stepped forward to greet him.

"You don't have to be polite, my dear son-in-law." Upon hearing that his son-in-law's title had been raised twice, Zhu Gongyuan became much more amiable.

Several people rested in Qingshan Garden.

Next, more people arrived.

The leading general was none other than Liu Yu, who had just returned from the campaign against the Hu Lu. Liu Yu had once again defeated the attack of the Hu Lu from the State of Yan in Jingkou and had killed several generals in succession. Things had been peaceful recently, and thinking about the approaching Mid-Autumn Festival, he returned with several brothers.

He was chatting and laughing with Lin Jian.

"Second brother, at that time, my elder brother only had 3,000 wounded soldiers, while Murong Chao had tens of thousands of elite soldiers. Fortunately..."

The other people from Liuzhuang followed behind them and listened to their conversation.

In the carriage not far away, Liu Yu's wife Xiao was holding the newly born Liu Yilong.

A group of people entered Liuzhuang.

"Big brother! Second brother! Xianzhi, Daoji, Xiaoming..."

Liang Yue greeted everyone familiarly.

"Third brother, I will definitely take you to the front line to charge one of these days. I can't bear to see you sitting idle like this." Liu Yu scolded with a smile.

Everyone was just like they were in the past, with no respect for age and everyone was close to each other.

Zhu Gongyuan, who was next to Liang Yue, was sweating profusely and extremely nervous.

This person is like Huan Wen and Wang Dao. I am just a poor governor and am not even as good as an ant in front of him.

When Liu Yu looked at him, Zhu Gongyuan quickly saluted.

"Gongyuan pays homage to the Duke of Jun!"

Liu Yu quickly returned the greeting and said, "You are my elder, just call me Deyu."

"Don't dare."

The two of them were being polite to each other until someone interrupted them.

It turned out that the two Taoists, Ge Xuanpu and Xu Jingming, had come.

"Xuan Pu, you are finally here."

Ge Xuanpu seldom came to Liuzhuang, but he would send someone a letter every few months, and this process never stopped for more than ten years.

"I'm busy with housework, please don't blame me, Master." Ge Xuanpu bowed and apologized. It was not that he had forgotten his roots, but he was indeed busy with affairs.

Soon, the banquet began.

Zhu Yingtai couldn't help but sigh and said, "It's really a peaceful time. Everyone is here this year."

The parents who hadn't seen each other for several years now wanted to stay in Liuzhuang to reunite.

This scene greatly reduced Zhu Yingtai's homesickness.

Seeing this, Zhu Gongyuan couldn't help but sigh: "Fortunately, I had the foresight to choose such a son-in-law."

Zhu Xiongtai and his mother sneered and were too lazy to refute.

"We are together less and apart more often. There will be fewer opportunities like this in the future." Liang Yue couldn't help but sigh.

History always repeats itself.

In the past, everyone was alone and could express their opinions freely. However, as their power expanded and everyone represented different groups, they had no control over their own behavior.

When prosperity fades away, fireworks fade away.

The song ends and everyone disperses.

Early tomorrow morning, Liu Yu and his men will be ready to go and fight for the world again.

Liu Yifeng will follow his father to travel all over the country, fight against the rebellious forces in various places, and guard the new lands.

On the road, the daughter, dressed in men's clothes, brought Xiaotian's son and two warrior maids, and waved to her parents.

"Dad, Mom, Yi Fu and I are traveling around the world!"

Zhu Yingtai was about to stop him, but Liang Yue stopped her.

"For all the children of Jianghu, there will always be a time to fly solo."

"Go slowly! Be careful on the road!" Zhu Yingtai could only wave goodbye with tears in her eyes.

As his children gradually left home, Liang Yue felt sad. All good things must come to an end.

But it won't last too long. The separatist forces in the south are not worth mentioning. It will take at most one year and at most three years.

It was the moment of parting, and Zhu Gongyuan complained inappropriately, saying: "This girl is just like her mother, Shanbo, now you can understand my feelings, right?"

"Haha." Liang Yue laughed continuously, and Zhu Yingtai was quite helpless.

night.

Everyone rested, Liang Yue said to Zhu Yingtai: "Wait a few years, when Jingming has the ability to take charge, we will go travel around the world. Don't give up the burden."

On the one hand, it is to prevent the decline of Taoism, and on the other hand, he really wants to travel around the world and explore the secrets.

The days that followed were simple and plain.

Zhu's family came here to settle down, and Liuzhuang became a lot more lively for a while.

Liu Yu killed the nobles of Shangyu and transferred their strongholds to the Zhu family.

After that, the Poyang Zhu family had another branch, the Shangyu Zhu family.

Liang Yue was also not idle. He was studying the internal skills of stealing the heavens, while sorting out matters related to corpse reincarnation, ancient myths, and so on.

The next morning.

After Liang Yue finished his breakfast, he walked to the library.

Xie Lingyun was reading at his desk.

The Sima family's collection of books is far more than one might imagine, and there are endless rare and forged works, making it extremely difficult to identify them.

Liang Yue occasionally comes to help.

Fortunately, this kid likes reading books, so it’s not a torture.

At this moment, Xie Lingyun suddenly raised his head and said:

"Master, I discovered something."

"What's the matter?"

"From King Mu of Zhou, Qin Shi Huang, Emperor Wu of Han, and even the most recent Cao Pi, why did they all pursue immortality so much? These people were outstanding people of their generation, with extraordinary wisdom, but they were still obsessed with these ethereal paths?"

Xie Lingyun pointed to a book in Sima's collection called The First Emperor's Journey to the East.

"Emperor Qin Shihuang……"

Liang Yue suddenly thought of the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang in Mount Li and the legendary Qin Shihuang's grand ambition for an underground dynasty.

"If I were to be reborn in this life, would I have to continue to live in the next life after my resurrection? Perhaps I could find a paradise, guard my body, and run a magic house."

The difficulty increases with each corpse transformation.

The second life is 120 years old; decades after the death of the first life, the descendants may have pushed the internal strength to a higher level. So starting from the beginning, it is estimated that the difficulty will increase.

Dayu's secret realm, the place where dragons are raised, and even the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang can be used as a place to guard corpses and a lair of monsters in the future.

Hidden in this great catastrophe of the Dharma Ending Age.
