Modern Onmyoji

Chapter 354 Beware of Li Tianjue

I just noticed that here is a quite wide space.There are burning oil lamps on the surrounding walls. This is simple in ordinary ancient tombs, but it is quite strange. After all, there has been no one visiting here for at least 1 years. What kind of oil lamps can burn for 1 years.Of course, in this kind of ancient tomb where even an atomic bomb can't blow up half of the scum, everything is another matter.

All three of us have good night vision capabilities. Although the oil light is very dim, it is enough for us to see the surrounding environment clearly.Unexpectedly, the furnishings here do not resemble ancient tombs, but more like a house.Except that there is no sunlight coming in, it feels like an ordinary house to me.Over there are stone chairs and stone tables, and further inside is a fairly large room.The house is not a dead and closed environment like a yin house, the doors and windows are still open, as if there are still people living in it.Open the windows to let the sunlight in.

If it weren't for this house being hidden in such a cave-like environment, it would really be like a Beijing Hutong courtyard.Our first reaction was that we were shocked by the layout and environment here.

"This is really an ancient tomb?" Alina looked at the surrounding environment and said subconsciously.

"Could it be an illusion?" Sun Dasheng said the same thing, "Even if the burial system of the two civilizations is a little different, it's not like this."

"Each ancient tomb of the four great totem beasts has its own style. The tomb of the green dragon is majestic and the tomb of the white tiger is dangerous. This may also be a style of the tomb of Xuanwu." When I said this, I was also No idea, after all, this is too different from the tomb I imagined.

"Anyone who comes is a guest, don't stand outside." Just when we were all wondering, there was a faint sound from inside the room, which really startled us all of a sudden.All eyes looked towards the direction where the voice came from, which was the room over there.The few of us stared at that side for a long time in a daze, without moving, wanting to wait for another call from there.The result is exactly as we thought, "Come in, I have already said that whoever comes is a guest. If I can come here, I would also like to have a cup of tea with you and have a good talk."

I hesitated for a moment, and walked over first.It is not impossible that there are signs of life in the ancient tomb.At least in the tomb of Qinglong, we talked with the remnant soul of Qinglong.Both Sun Dasheng and Alina followed closely.As soon as I entered the room, I could smell the fragrance of tea, and saw an old man with white beard and hair sitting in the main hall.The old man couldn't see his figure, because his silver hair had grown so long that it covered his whole body.All we can see is his protruding head.

"Sit down." The old man motioned us to sit on a stool beside him. There was already a cup of tea on the tea table next to it. I checked the temperature and it was just right.I didn't think about it any more, just took it up and drank it.I am a rough person, and I don't know how to taste tea.Anyway, I thought it was quite fragrant, and Sun Dasheng and Alina saw that I had no special reaction after drinking it, so they both drank it.Seeing that we all drank, the old man smiled and nodded.

"Let me introduce myself." The old man said in a very calm tone, "Old man Xuanwu, one of the four ancient totem beasts. You are here to take me away."

"You already know, and you're still so calm." I couldn't help but say.

"Everything is fate." Xuanwu said with a sigh, "Do you know what my Xuanwu is good at?"

"Defense?" Sun Dasheng said first.

"That's just one of them. Our Xuanwu clan is really good at deducing the secrets of the heavens. As a descendant of heaven, our back armor is born with lines that hide the secrets of the heavens. After some deduction in my early years, I got a glimpse of the secrets of the heavens, and finally cultivated it. , sitting among the four great totem beasts." Xuanwu said slowly, "Although our family has been spying on the secrets of heaven, we still haven't received the punishment from heaven. That's because we didn't try to change. Everything is fate, we have to do it. It’s just about accepting it.”

"So, you already knew in the early years that you will be found after ten thousand years." I asked, "Or, you have already deduced that the battle between your four great totem beasts and Rochinade will end in the end." Fail and your entire civilization will be destroyed."

"Well, those have all appeared in my eyes." Xuan Wu nodded and said.

"Then you are too resigned to fate. Since you know the future in such detail, maybe you can already compete with Luo Jinade, the representative of the will of heaven." Sun Dasheng asked.

"Yeah, what you said seems to make sense." Xuanwu said here, his eyes drifted, as if recalling the past, "This kind of thinking has appeared in my family before, but their end is death and punishment. As we gain strength, we also wear shackles. For many generations, no one can break them."

"Since you already know that the future is destined to be found by us. Then why do you have to arrange such a complicated defense. Maybe we think it's too troublesome and give up." Sun Dasheng said.

"Hahaha, the young man has asked the important point." Xuanwu smiled bitterly, "Ever since I became the Four Great Totem Beasts, I have been thinking about it. Do we, the Xuanwu clan, really want to bear this curse forever? What? Is there any way to fight—even if it’s just a small and insignificant struggle. Finally, I really thought of one, what fear is there for God’s punishment, it’s nothing more than killing me. But if I’m already dead, What is the meaning of God's punishment? This tomb is my insignificant struggle against heaven and fate. My body was annihilated by the spokesman of heaven, Rochinade, and my soul was restrained by Rochinade. There's nothing left to lose."

"As for this? The other three totem beasts are definitely not as complicated as you think." I couldn't help but say.

"Maybe, after all, they also have their own destiny." Xuanwu said with a sigh.

"Okay, you asked us to come here to sit and drink tea, you can't just express your emotions with us." I interrupted Xuanwu's words.

"For me, there may be only one thing I want to complain about. But for you, I really have something to warn you." Xuanwu stretched out a skinny hand and pointed point to me.I froze for a moment, looked around and made sure he was referring to me, "Do you have something to tell me?"

"That's right, this is a heavenly secret. It sounds like it will definitely be a catastrophe. I believe you don't want the people around you to suffer." Xuan Wu said.

The three of us looked at each other, and finally I sighed and said, "You go out first, I'll talk to him alone."

Although Sun Dasheng and Alina were a bit reluctant, they still left the house.Only Xuanwu and I were left.

"Okay, let's talk quickly if you have something to say." I approached Xuan Wu and asked.

"I already know your plan against Luo Jinard." Xuanwu's voice seemed to tremble a little when he said this, "Your master Li Tianjue is really a talent."

"Fuck, you already know this!" I couldn't help but say, you know, I haven't told anyone about this plan until now.Is it possible that Xuanwu can really deduce everything in the future?
"No, are you deceiving me?" I looked at Xuanwu suspiciously and said.

"I have no reason to lie to you." Xuanwu said, "Of course, you can also choose not to believe it. But I must give you a warning, little-xin-li-tian-jue."

Although there are only five words, I just feel my brain explode with a buzzing sound.Subconsciously took a few steps back and looked at Xuanwu with complicated eyes, "What do you mean? Why do you want me to be careful about my master? You are deliberately sowing discord, right! You want to make me doubt the master's plan Isn't that right! You and Luo Jinard are in the same group! It just makes me have doubts, so I don't go ahead with the plan, right! You made it clear! Why do you want me to be careful about my master!"

"This is a heavenly secret, don't let it out." Xuanwu was like an old monk sitting in meditation. After saying this, he closed his eyes and sat there motionless.Seeing his appearance, I felt a burst of anger for no reason, and I couldn't help going up and punching him off the seat.His silver hair was loose, and I saw that he had a stooped figure, and he was carrying a huge tortoise shell that was out of proportion to his body.But even though he was beaten by me, he still looked calm and breezy.This state is not the kind of torture that underground party members are tortured after being arrested.It's just that the cloud is calm, as if what happened next, whether it is injury or death, doesn't matter to him.Seeing him like this, I was so angry that I didn't know how to vent it.Standing there panting for a long time, Sun Dasheng and Alina who were outside also heard the movement and ran in.Seeing the appearance of Xuanwu and me, we are both full of strange faces.

At this time, my mind gradually regained its calm.He took out a holy order and threw it to Sun Dasheng, "Use the holy order to subdue him. His absolute defense should be able to offset the damage of the blue-black flame to your body. Besides, after subduing him, I have something to ask him."

Sun Dasheng was also unambiguous, directly picked up the holy order, and followed the steps to awaken the Xuanwu Shield.When the brilliance of the holy decree dissipated, a quaint shield appeared in Sun Dasheng's hand.The shield is the kind of small buckler that doesn't actually look very big.

"Hey, Xuanwu, I have something to ask you." I said coldly to Xuanwu Shield.

"After listening to your order." A dull voice came.

"What did you mean by that one you just told me!" I said.

"I'm sorry, when I just accepted the summoning of the Holy Order, I was already exposed to the punishment of heaven. That memory seems to have been erased by some kind of power." Xuanwu Shield said slowly, "I swear to the Holy Order, I will There is no lie in the words.
