The Ancient Tomb Beneath the Palace

Another month passed in a flash, during which Nalan Ruoshui treated Frank again, but there was still no "improvement.".Chu Yue once came and gave Frank a book, on which there were several internal skills and mental methods, and asked him to choose one and try to practice again.It can be seen that Chu Yue has no hope of restoring his power.

However, Chu Yue was extremely disappointed. Frank practiced any mental method without any result, and even a trace of True Qi could not be condensed.The eldest princess was a little anxious, and finally took Hou Yi Gong from the palace to Qishi Mansion.Ask Frank to see if he can pull away without internal force, and the result can be expected.Frank pretended to pull, and finally said, "No, I can't."

Chu Yueh-ngo frowned slightly and said, "How could this happen? It doesn't make any sense. Ruoshui never talks nonsense."She said you could theoretically recover, and.. Practicing martial arts all over again shouldn't have any effect.

Frank said at the right time, "I think my body is a little strange, but the feeling of holding Hou Yi's bow just now is very special."I seem to feel that the True Qi in my body is showing signs of recovery.

Chu Yue's eyes lit up and she said, "Really?"

"Really, I do have that feeling."

Chu Yue thought about it for a while and said, "Well, I'll put Hou Yi's bow here, and you can feel it with your heart."Maybe he can regain his power.But I want to send some people to guard it. After all, the magic bow is the treasure of the state of Chu. If the thief knows it,It's not good to come here and steal.

Frank made a grateful look and said, "Your Highness borrowed the national treasure so that I could recover my strength."With such kindness, if I recover my strength, I will serve Chu to the death.

Chu Yue smiled faintly and floated away.

From that day on, there were more guards outside Frank's yard, guarding his yard day and night.

Is it to prevent thieves from stealing, or is it afraid that I will abscond with Hou Yi's bow?On this issue, he did not think deeply, after all, Chu Yue gave him a good impression.

Frank has been a little confused in recent days. He admits that he has always had a slight affection for Nalan Ruoshui, but he doesn't think it's love.But recently, if he doesn't see a beautiful doctor one day, he will feel empty in his heart.

At first, he didn't quite believe his feelings until Nalan Ruoshui had something to do and disappeared from his sight for a few days.Only then did he feel a little shadow of Nalan Ruoshui in his heart.But he thought about it carefully and finally came to the conclusion that it was only a good feeling.

Some things can never be forgotten, and the unforgettable true feelings can never be erased.Frank can't forget his confidante ten thousand years ago until now.The picture of Yuxin's death on his behalf often appeared in his mind, and whenever he remembered the dribs and drabs of the past, he would feel heartache.He doesn't know how long it will take to start a new relationship.

Although Frank did not know the idea of the famous beauty doctor, he felt that Nalan Ruoshui seemed to be running away from something.Face him no longer as calm as in the past, his heart jumped, do not mislead others and yourself ah!

"Could it be that she.."

On this day, Frank went into the ancient library and translated the last few pages of the ancient book thoroughly for the old man.The old man held the book and said, "I have got what I need. Have you found what you want?"

Startled, Frank said, "Oh, what did you say?"

"Hey, hey.." The old man laughed, and the furrow on his face trembled.

"Young man, you are not simple. You are so young, and you are already so amazing, and you also know ancient Chinese. You are really a genius!".

"Ah, old man, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand?"

"Young man," said the old man, "stop acting. I mean you no harm.In fact, since the first day you stepped into the library, I have found that you are a profound practitioner, and your cultivation should have just reached the third level.

Frank was shocked, and the breath of the practitioner that emanated from his body was extremely weak.He did not expect that the old man had seen through him when he first met him.

"If you are not yet twenty," said the old man,Your cultivation is enough to rank in the top 20 among the practitioners under the age of 20 in the mainland. If you are close to 25 years old,Your personal cultivation can be ranked in the top 200 among the practitioners under the age of 25 in mainland China.In either case, you can be considered an outstanding young master.

Frank said nothing and waited to see what would happen.

"Young man," said the old man, "you have covered up very well. I believe not many people can see through your unique skills, but I am not one of them."

Frank nodded and said, "The old man's eyes are really like torches. The younger generation has nothing to hide in front of the older generation."

The old man nodded and said, "What are you looking for?"

Instead of answering, Frank asked, "What are you looking for?"? And what did you get?

The old man laughed, and the wrinkles on his face piled up and trembled gently, looking a little scary.

"Hey, young man, I asked you to translate ancient books, but you messed up the arrangement of sentences. You must be very dissatisfied with me, right?"

"No, you think too much," said Frank.

"I can't help it," said the old man. "That book is heretical and involves many taboos.It is unacceptable to ordinary people. I was afraid that when you learned about it, you would despise me and not translate for me, so I came up with this bad plan.

Frank said, "a heretical thing?"

"Yes," said the old man, "I have no choice but to do so. Now I am more than 170 years old, and my body is already out of shape.I can't practice martial arts, and I don't have the talent to rejuvenate my body.

More than 170 years old! Rejuvenate again?! Frank exclaimed.

Yes, more than 70 years ago, I became a master of martial arts, and at the age of 100, I was rejuvenated. Over the past few decades, although I have become more and more skilled,But always unable to step into a higher level of the realm, the body gradually aging, time waits for me ah! The realm of immortals and warriors is getting farther and farther away from me.

Frank opened his mouth wide in surprise, and did not expect that the old man in his twilight years was actually a peerless master.What the old man calls "a little success" is definitely not "a little success." It must be a great achievement.

The old man went on to say, "In order to continue my life, I have to study evil books and develop other methods, so that one day I can understand life and death."

Surprised, Frank said, "Study the evil book and understand life and death."

Yes, in fact, there is no distinction between good and evil in this world. 'Good' is only in line with the understanding of most people."Evil", on the other hand, is not tolerated by most people.At my age, I have seen through everything, and there is no distinction between good and evil.I don't care what book I want to practice. As long as I can continue my life, it is'right. '

Although Frank felt that there was a grain of truth in these words, he still felt a chill in his back. He secretly said in his heart, "People say that the Buddha has become a demon."This old guy didn't fall into the devil's way after he reached a certain level of skill, did he?He was now certain that the old man's cultivation had at least reached the fifth level.

"What are you looking for, young man?" The old man asked.

As the senior said, I am really looking for something.I have said that I am very interested in ancient myths and legends, especially the origin of the cemetery of gods and demons, which makes me fascinated.I want to uncover the mystery with the help of the vast royal books.

With a flash of green light in his eyes, the old man said, The Mausoleum of Gods and Demons has been a mystery for thousands of generations.If you can find any trace of it, it will certainly stir up the whole continent. Have you found anything?

"No," Frank said dispiritedly, "I've searched almost the whole ancient library, but the cemetery of gods and demons is like a piece of nothingness in an endless void.There is no record of its origin in any book.

The old man said, "Alas, the truth has long been lost in history. If you want to understand what happened ten thousand years ago,I'm afraid you have to step into a fairyland to understand.

Frank nodded in agreement. Chu was one of the most powerful empires in the eastern continent, and its royal books were all-inclusive.However, there is no record of the origin of the cemetery of gods and demons, which shows that the truth can not be found out from the historical records.

Then he suddenly felt a strange wave rippling gently in the ancient library.It's exactly the same as when I first stepped in here on the first day.Last time he didn't care, this time he closed his eyes and felt the wave with his heart, and slowly his face showed a look of shock.That wave actually came from the ground.

When the old man saw his face change greatly, he nodded and said, "Young people are really not simple. Even this subtle fluctuation can be felt."You can see that you have spiritual roots.

"Senior, what is that?" Frank asked.

"Well," said the old man, "in order to repay you for translating the ancient scriptures for me, I'll take you to have a look."

The old man led Frank to a bookshelf, pushed it aside, and then groped on the ground.A dark * * appeared in front of Frank's eyes, and it was from there that the wave came out.

Frank couldn't believe his eyes that there was such a place in the royal ancient library.

"Seventy years ago," said the old man, "I became a master of martial arts, and when I opened my spiritual roots, I accidentally sensed this strange wave.I didn't expect you to be born with spiritual roots. Alas, people can't compare with people!

Frank wondered, "How could there be such a secret hole in the Royal Ancient Library?"

The old man laughed and said, "I dug this hole in secret."

"You dug it up?" Frank was a little surprised. The old man was too bold.

"Why not? Even if I were to open a cave brazenly under the emperor's throne, he wouldn't dare say anything, because I'm his great-great-grandfather."

Dizzy, crazy dizzy, Frank is really a little at a loss, did not expect this old man to be so big.

"Stay behind me, and I'll take you down to have a look."

The cave spiraled down to the ground, and Frank followed the old man with one foot deep and one foot shallow, somewhat perturbed in his heart.After walking down the dark tunnel for about thirty meters, a piece of light came from below, and it dropped about a dozen meters.The two men came to the place where the light was, and the tunnel dug by the old man intersected with a tunnel in a "T" shape.

The historic site of the tunnel is mottled, and the four walls are diamond rock as hard as iron. You can imagine how difficult it was to dig such a road in those days.Above the tunnel, a luminous pearl is inlaid every thirty feet, and the light is placed by these pearls.

Frank exclaimed, "What a big hand! A pearl is already priceless. I didn't expect it to be here."So many pearls have been used for ordinary illumination. With that, he stared at the pearls without blinking.

The old man said, "Better off. You don't want to rob a grave, do you?"

This.. Is this a tomb? Frank felt a chill in his back and noticed that the light from the pearls was a little strange.

"Of course, the living live underground."

"Oh, no. The royal palace of the State of Chu was built over a tomb?"

"When the palace was first built, who knew what was underground? Who would have dug 50 meters into the ground?"

The old man led Frank along the old tunnel to the brighter end. There was only the sound of footsteps in the empty tunnel.It makes the tomb look very quiet and cold.

Along the winding ancient tunnel, two people came to a bright hall, although the hall is underground, to avoid the erosion of rain, snow, wind and frost.But it is also carved with the traces of the years, and the historic sites are stained.The four walls of the hall are exquisite reliefs, mostly gods, demons, demons and monsters in myths and legends. There are pearls embedded in the reliefs.Make the whole hall as bright as day. Under the light of the pearl, the lifelike relief is like a soul, which seems to break through the wall.

In the middle of the ancient hall is a white jade platform, which is glittering and translucent, emitting a soft light, and looks like the best precious jade.What attracted Frank's attention was not the white jade platform, but the people on the jade platform, a tall and burly middle-aged man standing in the center of the jade platform.

The middle-aged man had long dark hair floating freely on his shoulders, a bronzed face, long eyebrows, straight nose and square mouth.A pair of black and bright eyes frighten people, and it is frightening to look at them.But the most shocking thing is the momentum of middle-aged people, peerless domineering, and the majesty of the world.It makes middle-aged people look like demons overlooking all living beings.

Frank's eyes were hot and tears almost rolled down. The middle-aged man's expression was too similar to his father's, and his eyes were equally wise and sharp.The imposing manner equally dominates the world, that kind of overweening matchless appearance shocked him deeply.

"See," said the old man, "that strange wave is coming from the person who has passed away. This senior is really a great man!"!」

Frank couldn't believe his ears when he heard the word "gone." He looked at the person in front of him again.At last he found a little light in his long hair, and it was a sword hilt.The word "flying sword" flashed through his mind, and the peerless and domineering middle-aged man was killed by the flying sword.

Dead, such a peerless master actually died under the flying sword?Frank did not believe that the middle-aged man in front of him was by no means weaker than his father, Chen Zhan, and must have gone beyond the fifth level.When Chen Zhan set foot on the peak of martial arts, even those practitioners of Taoism and Mahayana were unable to reach the peak.He had heard his mother say that when Xiuwu reached that kind of heaven and earth, there was no sword to hurt in the world, and it was difficult to meet a resistance.

He circled around the Jade Platform and found a piece of bone powder behind the Jade Platform, not far away.And a bunch of broken bones.Without even thinking about it, he knew that the two men had died under the unparalleled skill of the middle-aged man on the stage.

"This is where I got my book," said the old man, "judging from the typefaces on it.Everything here should be six or seven thousand years ago.And this senior's body is immortal, and he is still standing tall and proud. It's simply unbelievable.

Frank sighed in his heart, "This elder has great skill, and has condensed his body into an immortal body. The strong will always be the strong."After death, the momentum is still so pressing.

"Go," said the old man, "go up and see. There is writing at his feet."

"Oh?" Frank was in high spirits and jumped onto the Jade Platform with the old man.

On the glittering and translucent jade platform, a few lines of characters are carved by finger force, like iron hooks and silver strokes, vigorous and powerful.And there is a sense of desolation in the face, which makes people sigh infinitely in their hearts.

When a demon becomes an immortal, the law of heaven cannot tolerate it. Kill the demon and get rid of the evil, so as to destroy the world. Sigh, the demon has a younger brother, just in time to return.Wounded body, against it, unable to recover, perish together. The body of Ang Zang, the cave of silence and destruction of demons, my body is ashamed, and I seal myself here!

So that's it, alas!Frank sighed and said, Although the demon way has just stepped into the realm of the immortal way, it is already an immortal after all.This elder was so heroic that he destroyed the immortal. I admire him, I admire him!

The old man also sighed with emotion: "Yes, if he hadn't missed one person, I'm afraid there would have been another powerful warrior between heaven and earth."

Frank sighed, "When I was alive, I had unparalleled skills and indomitable spirit.". After death, the body is immortal and stands proudly.A thousand years of domineering, congealed but not dispersed, peerless heroes, look down on the world.

Then he burst out laughing: "Ha ha …" I am now full of confidence in martial arts. How powerful the immortal is!But it was not destroyed by a person who reached the peak of martial arts. It can be imagined that if a person who practices martial arts steps into fairyland, heh heh..

The old man said, "Let me take you to the place where the demons practice."

Frank followed the old man through the ancient temple and along the tunnel to an ancient cave like purgatory on earth.The pearl was shining with a deep and quiet light, and there was a vast expanse of whiteness on the ground. Looking carefully, it turned out to be thousands of dry bones, some of which had been completely shattered.The air current slightly surges, then swings the powder, a Yin gas diffuses in the ancient cave.In the center of thousands of dry bones was a dry pool of blood, the walls of which were black, red, and strange, with a dense chill.As if a ghost were floating above it.

It was a grim and horrible mass grave, and in the silence, it seemed that thousands of souls were howling, which made people's scalp tingle.Feel a chill in my heart.

Frank looked at it with fear and said, "Is this where the cultivation of the evil way lies?"?It's really cruel and inhuman. To satisfy one's own selfish interests, one would go so far as to slaughter thousands of people. Heaven can't tolerate such a person becoming an immortal!

With that, he couldn't help looking at the old man, and if he hadn't guessed wrong, the so-called evil book in the old man's hand.It must be the evil method that the demon had practiced. He could not help but feel a chill on his body. The person standing in front of him might be the second demon.

The old man laughed, his wrinkled face quivering, and said, "Young man, don't be afraid. I'm a martial arts practitioner."How can you go to practice Taoism again? Besides, it is a very dangerous way of blood cultivation.People who practice martial arts can't change to practice Taoism without the talent of heaven and earth. The two are essentially different.I just borrowed some unique ideas from that evil book, that is, the need for blood.I think the animals that the imperial kitchen slaughters every day are enough.

Frank felt a little less cold, and then the two of them left the spooky cave.

After arriving at the ancient hall, Frank came to the Jade Terrace, gazed at the peerless strong man, and said to the old man, When I was in the ancient library,I have felt this strange wave twice before and after. Why didn't I feel it during that time?

The old man said, "These two times you are approaching the night of the full moon. Only then will the fluctuation become strong. I think it has something to do with the layout here."There may be some ancient formations hidden here that gather the vitality of heaven and earth.

"Is there an ancient array here?"

Yes, I think it was laid down by the demons in those days. If you practice here, you'll get twice the result with half the effort.However, the risk will inevitably increase, if the practice is too smooth, and has not experienced the corresponding state of mind.It will certainly cause the growth of demons in the mind, and it is very easy to go crazy.

Frank nodded in agreement and said, "As the saying goes, there are gains and losses. The world is balanced. People should learn to have and give up.".The demon way was too greedy and ferocious in those days, and after setting up a big array to gather the vitality of heaven and earth, it also slaughtered so many living beings.Otherwise, you wouldn't have been killed.

"Saying is one thing, doing is another," said the old man. "Many bad qualities are rooted in the depths of the human soul.It is difficult to control in the face of great temptation. For example, now you have the possibility to get the peerless skill of a peerless master, can you not be tempted?」

Frank laughed and said, "I'm tempted. Of course I'm tempted. But I don't have the chance."

"What if there is such a chance?" The old man asked.

"I'm tempted, but I'll give up in the end."

The old man stared at Frank without blinking and said, "Why?"

Frank said, "The power from the outside world is not as pure as the power from one's own cultivation. I am afraid it will shackle the development of one's own power."

The old man sighed, "Young man, you are very conceited, but you have the right to be conceited. I can't. Death is always threatening my life."If there is such a powerful force, I will never give up.

Frank smiled and said nothing.

"Young man," said the old man, "are you willing to help me? Let me be free from the shadow of death.

Frank looked puzzled.

The old man's wrinkled cheeks quivered and he said, "Young man, do you know?"?When you first stepped into the ancient library, I sensed the spirit in your body. When I observed carefully, I found that you were born with spiritual roots.If I can get the help of those who are born with spiritual roots, I may get a huge power, so that I don't have to practice evil books.They can also extend their lives for decades.

The old man pointed to the domineering and awe-inspiring master on the jade platform and said, "Do you know why there is a strange wave coming out of him?"?That's because there is a huge power in his body, which is his unparalleled cultivation. If he can draw out those powers..

After hearing this, Frank felt a chill in his heart. He was wondering just now that even if the old man repaid his kindness, he didn't have to bring him here.It turned out that all this was premeditated by the old man.

Senior, you've been thinking too much. Thousands of years have passed, and the soul of that peerless master has long disappeared.How could there be a great power hidden in his body? I think it is the result of the resonance between his immortal body and the vitality of heaven and earth.

"I don't rule out that possibility," said the old man, "but it's also possible that it's what I guess. How can I know if I don't try?Will you help me, young man?

Frank said, "My cultivation is far worse than yours. How can I help you?"

The old man said, "It has nothing to do with cultivation. You have spiritual roots, and it is very easy for you to attract the vitality of heaven and earth. If you and I work together,I'm sure I'll be able to bring out the power in that peerless master's body.

Frank was very reluctant to help the scheming old man, and even more reluctant to insult the peerless master, but considering his current situation,He had to comply with the old man's request.

The old man was very happy and said, "Your spiritual roots are innate. My spiritual roots are acquired. They are far inferior to yours.".After a while, put your palms on his back, feel the power in his body with your heart, and then guide it out. I will help you.

After mounting the Jade Platform, Frank said to himself, "I have offended you.".He put his hands on the back of the immortal body and felt the strange wave with his heart.

The old man also put his hand behind the immortal body and closed his eyes to feel it carefully.

A complex and inexplicable emotion seemed to come from ancient times and spread into Frank's heart.He felt as if he had experienced a thousand years in an instant, and his heart was very lost.He was startled, if not for the cold tentacles of the immortal body, he really thought that the peerless master would be resurrected.He knew that the complex emotions were the feelings of the peerless master when he was dying, with loss and helplessness.

Frank meditates, excludes all distracting thoughts, and carefully senses the strange fluctuations in the immortal body.Suddenly strange fluctuations seemed to resonate with him, and a great force began to surge in the immortal body.Frank was surprised that there was a huge force hidden in the body of the peerless master.He was shocked. It was beyond his imagination. A person had been dead for thousands of years.He still retains the power of the world in his body.

Frank stole a glance and saw that although the old man's hands were also on the back of the immortal body, he seemed to feel nothing.He secretly made a decision in his heart that this huge force must not be guided out and injected into the old man's body.He felt that the old man was too scheming to be seen through all the time.If we let him, who is already extremely powerful, absorb this force, we do not know what terrible consequences it will lead to.

After a long time, Frank put down his hands and said with a deep sigh, "Except for that strange wave."I don't feel any power flowing through this immortal.

Hearing what he said, the old man put down his hands and could not hide his disappointment on his face.

After coming out of the ancient temple, Frank felt uneasy in the empty ancient tunnel.He was afraid that the scheming old man would silence him here. He did not breathe a sigh of relief until the hole in the ancient library was drilled out.

The old man pushed the bookshelf back to its original position, smiled at Frank and said, "Hey.." Don't be afraid, young man.I won't do you any harm. You are a hero of the younger generation of Chu. How can I destroy the future master of Chu?

The old man patted him on the shoulder and said, "Work hard. I can live for 20 or 30 years on that evil book."In the meantime, I can give you some advice.

Frank nodded dully, and it was not until he returned to Qishi Mansion that he felt the cold sweat on his body.
