Netherworld Chapter 113: Qinling Imperial Vein (5)

A bunch of searchlights suddenly turned to the old Taoist's face, and I suddenly felt relieved. These dozens of old men were too lethal, and it was more stressful than being stared at by dozens of young girls.
What fairy text? I asked.
Immortal text is the text used by immortals. The old Taoist said: Immortals were very active in ancient times. But immortal texts are rarely circulated. There are five ancient books in the Five Elements, which record some immortal texts. But after thousands of years, the books have been lost, so I can't fully decipher these secret texts.
How much can an expert see? Dong Barang asked with concern.
Most of them. The old Taoist frowned slightly: But some words are difficult to understand. Judging from the words, they are the key things. The Emperor of Heaven seemed to be deliberately making things difficult, not wanting people to understand what happened back then.
Oh? Dong Barang was surprised and then a look of astonishment suddenly appeared on his face: Everything that happened back then... Master, is this not the secret code for the Emperor of Heaven to be resurrected?
The old Taoist shook his head: No. This secret text, recording the words of the Emperor of Heaven, seems to be related to his disappearance, but it does not explain how to make him reappear in the world.
There were cries of astonishment everywhere, and the old men around shook their heads in astonishment, shouting that it was impossible. Dong Barang also looked disappointed and had an ugly face.
But it is hard to be sure. The old Taoist suddenly said: Because the last part of the ciphertext was not recorded in time, perhaps, that is the most critical part.
Dong Balang's eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly: The master is right! I have only copied most of the secret text, and there are still some...
Well, let me interpret this part first. The old Taoist stepped forward and took a brush and some new rice paper from an old man. He spread the paper flat on the ground and wrote on it while comparing the secret text.
The old Taoist wrote very slowly, perhaps because the code was too difficult to understand, and the lack of some key words made it even more difficult to understand the meaning of the sentence. He wrote and paused, and the thoughtful look on his face never changed.
Dong Balang and a group of old men stood there quietly, not even daring to breathe. I was behind the Taoist priest, watching him squatting on the ground, writing on rice paper.
The old Taoist's calligraphy is very beautiful, vigorous and powerful, like a dragon, with extraordinary momentum. Each word seems to weigh a thousand pounds, and when you look at it, you will feel a sense of grandeur as if you are admiring the scenery of the world.
This unique charm made me unable to help but recite the words he wrote silently.
The stars in the sky cover the sun, and the immortals descend to earth...
An immortal fell from this peak, his limbs shattered. Golden blood fell from the sky, and roars were heard.
A black object covered the sky.
The Great Demon Lord wanted to fight with him, and broke through three levels of heaven, but was finally seriously injured and returned.
His words shocked the world and a great disaster was about to happen.
The stars move, the six realms of reincarnation change, and there are great troubles both inside and outside.
The Great Demon Lord is invincible in the world, and there are few in the world who can match me.
It is difficult for two people to accomplish great things.
The contemporary Basuo comes and wants to join forces to accomplish the task.
The origin of the Five Classics is about to come out, in an attempt to seal the underground palace.
Three tombs bring peace to people, and nine hills bring order to the world.
Immortal bone fossils, great disaster is coming, no more difficult...
The record of the secret text ends here. Every word and every sentence is shocking.
The question mark is not because I can't type the word, but because the old Taoist drew a question mark. That is a key word that cannot be interpreted.
This ciphertext contains a lot of information, which makes people feel excited and a little dazed.
I seemed to see a tall figure standing in front of the Imperial Palace, gazing up at the sky shrouded in darkness. Beside him, corpses of immortals were floating up and down.
The major event two thousand years ago actually included six of the most powerful inheritances of the contemporary era.
The ciphertext was too deceptive, and it was cut off at the most critical moment. I was eager to know what happened next.
Because in the secret text, I saw the eight ropes.
The head of the Basuo family of that generation was my ancestor. He found the Emperor of Heaven and intended to relieve the disaster of heaven and earth, but what was the final outcome?
The only thing we know is that after that, immortals appeared in large numbers in the world. But in the following thousand years, they gradually disappeared, and the myth ended there and could no longer be heard of.
Are these related to the catastrophe recorded in the secret text of the Emperor of Heaven?
Is it because the great event that the Emperor of Heaven has accomplished has caused myths to disappear and immortals to be hard to find?
I originally thought that after deciphering the secret code, I would know the answer and reveal all the mysteries. But when the Taoist priest wrote everything down on paper, there were even more mysteries.
Not only me, the old Taoist, Dong Balang, but also those dozens of old men, all had complicated expressions.
They were all shocked by the contents of the secret message, because the inheritance of everyone present was related to that disaster .
Find enough stone beasts as soon as possible to reveal the subsequent secret code! Dong Barang shouted in a deep voice, his tone impatient.
Most of the old men flew out at a speed so fast that it was shocking. It was only then that I remembered that they were not only old men copying secret texts, but also advanced practitioners of the Qinling Emperor Vein.
Someone came over, carefully took away the rice paper written by the old Taoist priest, and bowed to express his gratitude. The old Taoist priest nodded slightly and accepted it calmly.
The secret code appeared. Do I need a lot of stone beasts? I looked at the big stele next to me.
Dong Barang nodded: "It would take about half an incense stick of time for the secret code to appear after using ten stone beasts ." Dong Barang confirmed.
Ten... I couldn't help but smack my lips. This number is too much. No wonder the Qinling Imperial Vein, with such a huge force, has not yet copied out all the secret codes.
At this time, the old Taoist suddenly grabbed me and said: Let’s go.
I subconsciously asked him: Huh? Where are you going?
Go back, the old Taoist priest replied.
Dong Balang also asked: Where are you going, Master? Do you want me to send someone to lead the way?
The old Taoist turned to look at him: The Emperor's pulse is completely insincere, so let's just pretend the deciphering of the secret code never happened.
Dong Barang's expression suddenly changed, and he quickly said: "Master, what are you talking about? Since my Emperor Bloodline has said it, I will do it. But the Heavenly Emperor's treasure house has not been opened yet...
It has nothing to do with the treasure house. The old Taoist shook his head and then took me away.
I looked at Dong Barang and found that he was stunned for a moment, and then he seemed to remember something. He immediately felt a little embarrassed and hesitant.
The Taoist said he was leaving, and he was definitely not fooling me. Just as he was about to pull me out the door, Dong Balang caught up with us from behind, stopped us, bowed his head and bowed his hands, saying: It was our fault, but we definitely didn't mean to deceive the master. There are some things in this...
The Taoist priest didn't respond, he just stared at him but didn't move. I was confused by their actions, and I couldn't figure out why the Taoist priest suddenly got angry.
The return of the Emperor of Heaven is indeed not in the secret code. The Emperor's Bloodline has preserved the secret scroll of the Emperor of Heaven, which records the actions of the Emperor of Heaven when he returns to the world. It is said that it was written by the Emperor of Heaven himself. The opportunity for resurrection is the reappearance of the secret code. Dong Barang lowered his head and said: The return of the Emperor of Heaven is of great importance and cannot make any mistakes. I have no intention of hiding it from the master, but the various forces in the Emperor's Bloodline are complicated, and I am alone... Alas, I only hope that the master will consider that the Emperor of Heaven has a connection with the Five Elements and Eight Ropes...
I finally understood why the old Taoist was angry. It turned out that Dong Barang lied. The secret code had nothing to do with the resurrection of the Emperor of Heaven. They already knew the real method.
So what do you do when you crack the ciphertext? I asked curiously.
Dong Balang said: The secret text records the truth about the disappearance of the Emperor of Heaven two thousand years ago. This is the biggest key to whether we can now use the imperial bloodline to fully revive the Emperor of Heaven.
What does that mean? I'm a little confused.
Everyone in the world knows that the imperial bloodline is not a unified inheritance, but a mixture of countless inheritances, divided and governed. Only when the Emperor of Heaven was there, the Qinling Mountains were unified. Dong Barang explained: After the Emperor of Heaven disappeared, the families were scattered again. Although there is now an opportunity for the Emperor of Heaven to be resurrected, many people have changed their minds. Two thousand years have passed, and even a stone has changed. Many people say that the resurrection of the Emperor of Heaven may cause a disaster because his disappearance was too strange. Therefore, they want a reason, and the major event recorded in the secret text is the key.
I can understand what Dong Balang said.
People's minds are unpredictable and can change at any time. Beliefs vary from person to person. Some people can persist, while others cannot. It is hard to say whether it is right or wrong.
However, I feel that Dong Balang's words are not very convincing.
You invited an old... an expert here just to crack the ciphertext? I asked doubtfully.
Of course not. Perhaps because he had revealed his true colors, Dong Barang simply said: The Five Elements originate from the Five Classics, and they know everything in the world. Although they do not have the origin of the Five Classics, the Five Elements Method is the best in the world and will be of great help to the resurrection of the Emperor of Heaven. Therefore, he invited the master and the little brother together.
I understand you want to invite him, but why do you want to invite me? Although the Jade Pendant is somewhat useful, I have just learned how to use it, so I can't help you at all. I asked the most curious question I have ever asked.
Your usefulness is even greater than that of a master. Dong Barang said: The Eight Ropes can lead to the netherworld, and this is the help we want most.
Emperor of Heaven... The old Taoist priest suddenly spoke, and I turned to look at him, and saw a look of astonishment on his face: Could it be...
That's right. Dong Balang nodded again and said: According to the secret scroll, the whereabouts of the Emperor of Heaven is in the underworld.
Hell...When this word came out, even I was shocked.
What is the underworld? It is a place that is said to be in charge of reincarnation in the human world. In Journey to the West, Monkey King beat up King Yama and even scratched the book of life and death. But in fact, King Yama is not as weak as described in the book.
At the ancient battlefield of Changping, I summoned the Ten Halls of the King of Wheels with the help of the Taoist priest, and countless ghosts were sealed by their Dharma images. And this is just a Dharma image.
The underworld really exists... I was very surprised. I originally thought it was just a place in myths and legends, but I didn't expect it.
At this moment, I suddenly remembered what the Taoist said at the ancient battlefield of Changping: Nothing can come out of nothing. If there is a Dharma image, there must be a real existence.
At that time, I thought he was just talking, but unexpectedly, I heard things related to the underworld from Dong Balang.
But why did the Emperor of Heaven go to the underworld? Did he want to cross his name out of the Book of Life and Death? I asked curiously.
At this moment, an idea suddenly popped into my mind.
In Journey to the West, it seems that the time when Sun Wukong caused havoc in the underworld was two thousand years ago.
Could it be that the prototype of Sun Wukong is actually Qinling Tiandi?
Oh my god, this is too ridiculous, which author would arrange it like this...
