Tian Gang Chapter 170: Cult (5)
The old Taoist didn't leave immediately because he was held back by Mr. Liao.
Although the longitude and latitude are very accurate, it is still not easy to find the stone beast. As Mr. Liao said this, he took a piece of instrument-like thing from the hand of the person running next to him: Take this with you, it will continuously emit short pulse signals, and the machine will convert the signals into numbers, and you can find it faster based on this.
The old Taoist frowned slightly. Although technology could help him find the stone beast faster, as an orthodox practitioner, he was still somewhat resistant to these external objects.
I quickly took the machine and said: Thank you, Grandpa Liao.
Seeing me take the machine, the old Taoist didn't say much. He pulled me and walked straight out of the laboratory.
Wushan is not just a mountain, but refers to the entire Wushan mountain range. The so-called Bashan and Chushui refers to the adjacent Dabashan.
The Ba family, which intercepted the Tianshi Vein, originated from Daba Mountain.
The legend of the ten witches ascending and descending the heaven and earth is recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas . Many people think that the two witches are related, so they mistakenly believe that the ten witches are in Wushan. But in fact, Jiashan, where the ten witches are located, is still far away from Wushan.
Wushan has beautiful scenery. The Tang Dynasty poet Yuan Zhen's line, "Once you have seen the sea, all other waters are but puddles; except for Wushan, all other clouds are but mists," has been passed down for thousands of years and has remained popular. There is also a poem by the goddess, which left behind the beautiful legend of clouds and rain in Wushan.
The old Taoist and I appeared at the foot of a mountain in Wushan.
Here, the mountains overlap and intertwine, and the river surrounds it, making it a very beautiful tourist destination. However, the old Taoist priest and I are not tourists.
After I stood firm, the instrument in my hand kept beeping. I saw arrows and numbers on the LCD screen, which probably represented the direction and distance.
Go that way. I pointed in a direction.
The old Taoist didn't move immediately, but glanced around and then frowned again.
Now when I see him frowning, I feel like I'm going to die.
What's wrong? I asked.
Here... He looked up at the mountain in front of him. This mountain was incredibly majestic, high and wide, and divided into layers, like a staircase.
This place is... not good? I asked again.
This is Denglong Peak, one of the twelve peaks of Wushan Mountain. The old Taoist said: I have a special record of it in the Five Elements Pulse Classics, but I didn't expect that there would be a stone beast here. It is indeed extraordinary, with a big river flowing under the water and smooth sailing. This mountain carries the aura of an imperial dragon.
Uh, what are the special records?
The old Taoist didn’t want to tell me, he just shook his head and said: Let’s go.
I was a little disappointed, but I couldn't pester him to ask, so I had to follow the instructions of the instrument.
No matter what kind of mountain it is, there is one thing that is difficult to walk on. Mountain roads are difficult to walk on, and this is true all over the world.
The mountain road we walked on was not artificially built, but a natural one. Few people passed by here, and tall plants grew everywhere. The river water was rushing beside, and the wind blew over, which made us feel cool.
The location of the stone beast was not too far from us, but we were dumbfounded when we walked near it.
Because there is a mountain rock in front of us, we can be sure that this mountain wall is definitely not as thin as a piece of paper. So, the stone beast is hidden in the rock?
How is this possible...
What should I do? I looked at the Taoist priest.
The old Taoist didn't reply, he just stood there as if sensing something, after a while, he suddenly stretched out his hand to draw a talisman. A pale blue empty talisman was drawn in the blink of an eye, he pointed his finger, and the talisman slowly floated towards the mountain wall, the old Taoist pinched the magic formula with his hand, and shouted softly: The five elements of heaven and earth, command the gods of the four directions, enlighten my mind, and break the barriers!
The pale blue empty talisman stuck to the mountain wall suddenly caught fire. I was surprised to see that the blue-gold flame had actually burned a big hole in the mountain wall.
No, that's not a burn hole.
Because I clearly saw that the mountain wall dispersed like a curtain of water under the pressure of the flames, and the place where there should have been rocks became empty.
This is... I asked in surprise.
Someone has cast a magic spell here, it's quite powerful. The old Taoist said lightly and walked straight forward.
I was stunned for a moment, then I came to my senses and immediately chased after him: Does that mean there's someone here? And he's very powerful? Then will we be in danger?
It's not dangerous, but maybe you'll meet someone you know, said the old Taoist priest.
An acquaintance? In this godforsaken place? A wild man!
After the illusion was broken, a mountain path appeared, which seemed to lead directly into the belly of the mountain. I looked at the meter and found that the stone beast was not far away, about a few dozen meters away.
It was too dark here, so the old Taoist had no scruples and stretched out his hand to release Taoist fire for illumination.
The mountain path was a little damp, and the air was filled with a musty smell, but it was surprisingly quiet, and not even the sound of insects crawling could be heard.
Although there was a Taoist fire in front of me, I could only see the old Taoist's back, and I couldn't see anything in front of him .
At this time, the road ahead suddenly became clear and we entered the interior of the mountain.
The old Taoist once again released a ball of Taoist fire and directed it to circle around. Under the reflection of the Taoist fire, I could roughly see the current environment I was in.
This place is not very big, about 200 square meters, square in shape. What surprised and worried me was that there were many scattered items in front of me, as if they were left behind.
The Dao Fire was running too fast, and I couldn't see clearly what it was, but this also proved that there was indeed someone here.
But where is that person?
I looked around, but the old Taoist just kept walking forward.
Behind me was a pitch-black mountain path. I was afraid that a ghost's claws would suddenly appear and scratch me, so I hurried to follow him.
The mountain path was full of rocks, but here it was all mud. If I had to explain it clearly, the whole mountain was like an inverted funnel, empty in the middle, supported only by the surrounding mountain walls.
However, this hollow spot is not very large and should have no impact on the mountain.
The soil was very wet and felt sticky when I stepped on it. I followed the Taoist priest, looking around nervously and asking: What are you doing?
At this time, the beeping sound of the instrument became brighter and more rapid.
I took a look and saw that the arrow had turned into a dot and the number had turned into zero. This meant that the place where I was standing was where the stone beast was.
We found the stone beast! I said excitedly.
The old Taoist simply hummed and did not turn around immediately. Instead, he continued to walk forward two steps before stopping.
Daohuo returned to his side, and I could see clearly that what was scattered on the ground was some black and golden objects. Some looked like decorations, but many were completely irregular shapes, like fragments of objects, and I really couldn't figure out what they were.
The old Taoist stood there as if observing very carefully. He rarely showed such unusual behavior.
I was extremely curious. What made the old Taoist ignore even the stone beast?
What are you looking at? I asked.
Look at the ground, the old Taoist priest replied.
Ground? What's so good about the ground? It's just mud. I was totally confused.
This place is not simple, the old Taoist priest said again.
Oh? I looked around and saw that the stone passage was obviously dug by humans. It was indeed not simple. However, the Taoist priest definitely did not mean this. After looking around, I asked him again: Why is it not simple?
There is a very strong and mixed smell , including the smell of an imperial dragon and the smell of a corpse, and it seems... The old Taoist said uncertainly: There are two other smells that cannot be identified, and they are very special.
Even you can't see it? I was even more surprised: That's really not easy. But, corpse qi? Corpse qi!
I was shocked, and the Taoist seemed very satisfied with my reaction. He circled around within a meter and said after a while: There might be a corpse under your feet.
I looked at the ground in surprise, but I could only see a piece of black soil. The old Taoist waved his hand, and the Taoist fire floated up and down. He continued: This place is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, like a funnel. It contains the spirit of the emperor dragon, and the river flows eastward. It is a good place. However, in such a terrain, someone buried the body instead of burying it with a grand ceremony. It is really...
Is there a difference? I asked curiously.
Burying is a way of not caring about the world. Burying is to do one's best. Do one's best and then there will be destiny. If destiny is chosen, it is not surprising to see a true dragon emperor. But burying without burial is another matter.
What?
Maybe there will be a corpse in the sky, the old Taoist priest replied.
At this moment, I was almost breathless from shock, God raised the corpse...
The old Taoist once told me that there are five kinds of zombies: red-haired green ghosts, natural zombies, earth-raised zombies, and human soul zombies. I have seen earth-raised zombies, but they were not only destroyed by the old Taoist, but even the earth-raised corpse pills were taken by Gamu to refine zombie kings. But I have only heard of the other kinds of zombies but never seen them.
I used to feel quite regretful, but when the Taoist priest told me that what we were stepping on was most likely a corpse of a god, I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
The corpses need to be raised in a place with excellent Feng Shui formed by the natural world. This place is very good, so the chance is very high. When the old Taoist spoke, his tone did not change at all, as if he was talking about something very ordinary: However, the places where the five major zombies are raised will be destroyed when the corpses are formed. The spiritual energy here is also being sucked away by the corpses below. I think it won’t take too many years for this place to become a wasteland. Not only is there no more spiritual energy, even ordinary plants can’t survive.
So scary... I couldn't help but smack my lips.
However, it seems that there is more than one body buried there, which is very strange, the old Taoist said again.
My hair is about to stand on end. One Tianyang corpse is enough to scare me, and now I am told that there is more than one down there!
In this case, the corpse raising ground may not be able to raise real heavenly corpses. The old Taoist responded to my fear: Why do people who come here do this?
Uh... can't you raise it?
Hmm. The old Taoist replied: The energy of the living beings in the world is limited, and it is impossible to breed infinitely. A corpse-raising ground can only raise one corpse. Otherwise, the corpse would not have to look for a new corpse-raising ground.
That's fine... Eh? What are you doing? I watched the old Taoist draw a talisman and point it at the ground.
Dig out the body and see what they want to do. The old Taoist priest replied, and the empty talisman in his hand fell to the ground.
Every time the old Taoist takes action, it can scare people half to death. That's a corpse! Even if you can't keep the corpse all day, it should be very powerful! The old Taoist does this not to harm himself, but to push a good young man like me into the fire pit!
