All Heavens: From Joy of Life to The Great Feng Night Watchman

Page 586

……

[Master, the function has been activated, the trial is complete, and I feel it works well. Thank you.]

Number Nine: Whatever you like.

After talking to everyone, he put the small jade mirror into his pocket.

While chatting with several people simultaneously, Li Chang'an once again felt the efficiency of his phone from before his reincarnation.

"I actually feel a sense of accomplishment, like a time management master."

"It's time to go find my little darling in Lin'an. Maybe... it's time for her to experience the joys of adulthood."

"However, the princess seems to need companionship, and the two cannot play together yet."

……

The three Taoist priests, including Jinlian, continued to approach the entrance of the tomb.

Xu Qi'an took the lead and charged ahead without hesitation.

"Entering through the opening, it was initially extremely narrow, barely wide enough for one person to pass through. After walking several dozen steps, it suddenly opened up into a bright and spacious area."

After Xu Qi'an finished reciting, Chu Yuanzhen nodded and remarked, "Master Li's disciple is indeed quite talented in literature."

"My master wrote it; I just copied it," Xu Qi'an said, shifting the blame directly.

Everything was forced upon the master to put on an act, and all the limelight had to be given to the master.

This is Xu Qi'an's survival rule.

"No wonder, no wonder," Chu Zhuangyuan sighed again.

The group entered the tomb and searched the burial chamber, discovering twelve coffins and several corpses that had been dead for several days.

Xu Qi'an twitched his ear and caught the slight sound.

Inside the stone coffin, a dense, undulating sound could be heard.

Chu Yuanzhen flicked his finger and shot his sword intent toward the stone coffin. The stone coffin trembled violently, and the writhing sound stopped abruptly.

He waved his sleeve and then lifted the stone coffin.

Instantly, a foul stench assaulted the nostrils.

The coffin was filled with swarms of poisonous insects, which had been blown to pieces, and dark brown liquid splattered all over the coffin walls.

"The coffins here belong to those who were buried alive with the deceased. The Great Wing Dynasty abolished the practice of funerary sacrifice more than two thousand years ago, so this large tomb is over two thousand years old."

After making a preliminary assessment, the three of them continued deeper into the tomb.

The three entered a more spacious tomb chamber, where a large number of corpses lay on the floor.

None of the corpses were intact; some had their heads torn apart, some had their limbs ripped off, and some were hacked to pieces.

Not far away, there were rows of coffins that had been opened.

A fierce battle has just taken place here.

"Manipulating zombies, is it the Northeast Witch God Cult again?" Xu Qi'an asked.

Chapter 355 Xu Qi'an Fulfills His Mission! Luo Yuheng Seizes the Imperial Seal!

Master Jinlian shook her head. "These zombies have nothing to do with the Witch God Cult. They were just nourished by yin energy and became zombies over time."

"Moreover, these zombies have already been destroyed, so we don't need to do anything more."

As soon as the words were spoken, a series of dark figures slowly stood up from the darkness.

These figures were emaciated, but their fingernails were sharp, their eyes were emerald green, and they were cold and terrifying.

Chu Yuanzhen and Xu Qi'an immediately charged out, their sword energy and fist shadows flying everywhere in the tomb.

Before long, all the zombies were dealt with.

Afterwards, they discovered a huge mural on the walls on both sides.

Looking at the mural, Master Jinlian slowly said, "The lineage of Taoism passed down by the Taoist Master back then, besides the three schools of Heaven, Earth and Man, also includes some other branches."

"One of them focuses on dual cultivation, where yin and yang interact and jointly comprehend the Great Dao."

"This sect is no weaker than Heaven, Earth and Man, and its techniques are more advanced. Many female pilgrims linger in the Taoist temple and voluntarily engage in dual cultivation."

"This is the dual cultivation secret method we've been looking for. Just memorize its complex contents."

Both Master Jinlian and Chu Yuanzhen used Taoist magic to inscribe their cultivation techniques onto a jade slip.

Xu Qi'an, on the other hand, relied on rote memorization and eventually memorized it all.

Chu Yuanzhen said, "The technique is indeed exquisite, but it requires finding a woman who is equally proficient in it. Finding a partner for dual cultivation is too difficult."

Master Jinlian sighed, “The Yin and Yang of Heaven and Earth transform into the Five Elements. The Dual Cultivation Technique is the orthodox technique that directly points to the Great Dao.”

"The school I just mentioned, in its eagerness for quick results, created the art of sexual exploitation from dual cultivation techniques, and thus fell into the demonic path."

"Ultimately, they aroused public outrage and were completely wiped out by the imperial army and chivalrous heroes."

Xu Qi'an was overjoyed; he had completed the basic task his master had given him.

Next comes the bonus task, which is to obtain the Imperial Seal.

"That imperial seal, both Master and the Imperial Preceptor probably want it."

"But the couple didn't want to have a falling out, so whoever snatched it from me and Scholar Chu would get it."

Having finished his calculations, Xu Qi'an continued forward with Jinlian and Chu Yuanzhen through the tomb passage.

"Holy crap! There's something here!"

Xu Qi'an, who was walking at the front, tripped over his own feet.

He held up a torch to investigate and saw half a corpse on the ground.

Calling him a corpse isn't quite right, because this person isn't dead yet; although his abdomen has been cut open, he's still alive.

"There are evil creatures here... evil creatures that eat people..."

The man only managed to utter a few words before exhausting his last bit of strength.

"He's a tomb raider," Master Jinlian concluded after examining the man's equipment.

The three continued onward, and soon they discovered a huge creature crawling on the ground ahead.

"Be careful, it's a ghost from the cemetery!"

Master Jinlian gave a timely reminder, and Xu Qi'an stopped in his tracks, standing ready with Chu Yuanzhen.

The creature was gray all over, resembling a tailless lizard, with a head that looked quite human, but its mouth was full of fangs.

"Roar!"

The evil creature roared and then pounced on Xu Qi'an, who was at the front.

Xu Qi'an activated the Arhat's Disarming Technique, forcefully holding back the Yin entity. Chu Yuanzhen's two sword fingers pierced through, killing the Yin entity.

"It doesn't seem very strong," Xu Qi'an muttered.

“It’s because your cultivation method is strange; you’re just one step away from achieving the body of copper and iron,” Chu Yuanzhen said.

Xu Qi'an chuckled, "My master has profound knowledge and skills; he can cultivate a set of techniques from the ninth rank to the sixth rank."

No sooner had the words left his mouth than three or four sinister creatures flew over at the same time.

In an instant, sword energy flew through the passageway, and Xu Qi'an activated Thunder God Speed, speeding through bolts of lightning.

With a single punch, he could disintegrate a malevolent entity.

"Boom!" A sound also rang out not far ahead.

Xu Qi'an looked closely and saw that it was a short girl with blue hair.

The little girl also smashed a Yin object with a single punch, seemingly without any martial arts aura.

"What an amazing girl!"

"But they blackened their faces in the cemetery."

"Lina! You're here!" Master Jinlian rushed forward and carefully examined the little girl.

"Master Jinlian, it's amazing to meet you here!" Lina exclaimed in surprise.

"Come out, all of you! These are my friends!" Lina called out to those behind her.

Then, a large group of burly men timidly came out.

"Lina, what are you doing here?" Master Jinlian asked.

Lina replied, "I went down into the cemetery with a group of people, and then the little mirror stopped working."

"These idiots said there was treasure underground, but they all owe their lives to me!"

"Now that you're here, we can continue our exploration!"

Xu Qi'an and Chu Yuanzhen exchanged a glance, thinking that she must have been tricked into coming down.

I thought he was an easy target, but he turned out to be a pillar of the team.
