In my coma, I actually dreamt of reaching the underground palace behind Mount Qi. In that unimaginable and bizarre underground building, a giant bug drilled out from a huge face. When I focused on that huge face of mine, it was my "Dad."
When I woke from my stupor, it was already light.
They were still inside the temple, and the bonfire had long since cooled down. Beside me was the female doctor, Snowy, who was sitting up straight and napping.
The morning light on her face was intoxicating. With her eyes closed, she was so serene that even though I had questions in my mind, I was too embarrassed to disturb her.
All these years in Germany, I've seen girls with blue eyes and blond hair, big breasts and perky skin.
When had he ever seen such a beautiful girl from the East? She was hazy, quiet, and elegant, as if she was a young girl from a painting.
I stared at her for a moment. A person walked in from outside. Snowy was shocked awake by the sound of his footsteps.
"Senior apprentice-brother!" she called.
The man lit up a cigarette. After he saw that I had woken up, he said to Xiao Xue and me, "Master and Mr. Leng have already confirmed the entrance to the ancient tomb. They are having breakfast at the camp. Handsome, come and pack up your equipment with us.
I nodded and bitterly smiled. "Don't call me handsome brother. My name is Hu Tianyi!"
The man froze for a moment, as if he had just reacted and was about to enter the tomb. In the end, he didn't even know the other party's name and said, "I'm called Lin Ziqiang!"
Then, he pointed at Snowy and said, "She's my junior sister. "Li Ruoxue!"
After knowing each other's names, their vigilance was immediately reduced by more than half.
We also tacitly opened the large box that had been left behind in the dilapidated temple. Inside were a few military backpacks, as well as hemp rope, hammers, oxygen masks, medical supplies and so on.
Lin Ziqiang, Xiaoxue, and I quickly packed everything into our military packs.
From head to toe, I didn't ask about my confusion yesterday.
I know they won't tell me, even if I ask.
I never understood why they let me into the tomb.
After packing everything, I put the backpack on my back and thought to myself: So heavy.
They carry no less than I do. However, they walked out of the temple with ease. I went out, a little tired.
After leaving the temple, I found myself halfway up the mountain.
Afterwards, he continued upwards, passing through a forest and passing by three mountain springs and small streams.
He stopped in front of a small waterfall. At the front of the line, I forced myself to say, "Here we are." Then I let out a long breath.
It had been over an hour since I left the temple, and I was already exhausted.
In front of the waterfall, there were two temporary tents. The old Daoist and the man in a suit, Mr. Leng, were looking at a map on a table and discussing something.
Lin Ziqiang waved his hand at me and said, "Hu Tianyi, come over and eat something! "It will take a lot of energy to get to the grave later."
I put down my heavy backpack and followed Lin Ziqiang to the front of the tent.
The three hulks seemed to have made breakfast in the morning as a pot of rice porridge smelled tasty. Lin Ziqiang, Xiaoxue, and I carried porridge and drank it while listening to the conversation between the old Taoist and Mr. Leng.
He heard the old Daoist say gravely, "Feng Shui is indeed invulnerable. I'm afraid right now, this is a tomb that we have never seen before."
"I hope it's as you originally guessed. Otherwise, it will be a little troublesome."
"There's no need to talk anymore. They're here. We can act when the time comes."
"En!"
The old Taoist and Mr. Leng stopped talking and came over to chat with us. And Mr. Leng did not say a word, standing together with his three bodyguards.
Taking advantage of the meal, I asked the old Daoist, "Daoist Master Zhang, just what kind of tomb is this? Is there any way to save my mother? "
Perhaps it was because I agreed to follow them into the grave, but the old Daoist didn't hide it from me and said, "There was once a paragraph in the Classic of the Mountains and Seas that recorded a country of Xuan Yuan. The fields of the heavens danced with the Luan and Bird. People eat phoenix eggs and drink nectar. Although the Mountain and Sea Scripture has some untruths, it is not something that is made up out of thin air. "
I have never read the Mountain and Sea Scripture, so I don't know if what this old Daoist said was true or not. However, looking at the expressions of Xiao Xue and Lin Zieqiang, this old Daoist is also speaking the truth.
The old Daoist continued, "This earliest scripture of the Mountain and Sea Scripture was originally a record of what Yao Shun had seen and heard when he treated the water. It also contained some secret text of a hermit, and after the summer ended, the complete scripture of the Mountain and Sea Scripture fell into the hands of Shang Tang. After that, Shang Taiyi ascended to the throne, but this Tai Yi was a short-lived ghost who died after just a year of reign. The ancestors of our Yinyang Sect had the good fortune to visit the tomb of the Emperor Taiyi, and from the frescoes on the tomb of the Emperor, we found out an enormous secret recorded in the Mountain and Sea Scripture. "
"What secret?" I didn't expect that before I came out, Snowy was already worried.
The old Daoist continued, "The Mountain and Sea Scripture's records of the Xuanyuan Kingdom were not entirely fabricated!"
I was shocked. Could it be that this tomb contained the secret that the residents of Xuanyuan Kingdom could live to the age of 800? Did my father want to find this secret so he could live with my mother? Could this secret bring someone back from the dead?
The old Daoist Priest didn't know what I was thinking and continued, "At that time, Shun Chan was located in Yu, so there were naturally many people who disagreed. At that time, Shun Chan was in Yu, and there were naturally many people who disagreed.
One of the remnants of the Xuanyuan Kingdom's descendants was constantly migrating, arriving at the current location.
Xiaoxue asked, "Is this tomb the tomb of the descendant of Xuanyuan Kingdom?"
The old Daoist shook his head and said, "Of course not. Ever since the migration, the Xuanyuan Kingdom has always had a small number of people, and now that they're in such a harsh situation, it's already hard for them to survive. Furthermore, from the records of history, they experienced a huge change and seemed to have lost their country in just one night."
When I heard this, I was shocked. He could not help but say, "It's too cruel!"
When the old Daoist heard my words, he sneered and said, "I, as a dignified Chinese, have almost annihilated a country several times. What does this little Xuanyuan count for? Let's not talk about the recent chaotic times. The entire Central Plains were empty without even a single one. How could Xuanyuan be comparable to us? "
The old Daoist choked me to the point that I couldn't speak. After being resentful for a long time, I couldn't help but say curiously, "You don't know whose tomb this is. How do you know that there is a secret you want?"
The old Daoist sneered and said, "Do you think an ordinary tomb like this can cause a disaster like the one in Hu Village? I can't even find two of my most outstanding disciples easily. "What's more …"
The old Daoist Priest did not want to speak anymore, so he just continued to eat his breakfast.
Seeing that the old Daoist Priest stopped speaking, Snowy and the others stopped asking. They could only keep their questions in their hearts, as they actually had some means to confirm that there was something they wanted in the tomb? What did they say last night after I fainted?
After we finish eating breakfast and rest.
The old Taoist clapped his hands and said to us three juniors, "Let's start the construction! Let's prepare to go down to the grave! "
I looked around stiffly. How do we start? Where to next? Lin Ziqiang walked up to me and patted my shoulder. "Don't look around. Just follow us."
Everyone picked up the equipment on the ground. To my surprise, the three muscular men under Mr. Leng's command were able to pick up a bag that was twice my size with one hand. Eight people, a total of 14 bags of equipment, majestically walked towards the 200 meter waterfall in front of them.
The three hulks took out eight sets of diving equipment from their respective backpacks, including oxygen bottles, waterproof clothing, goggles, and so on.
"Change your clothes!" After Lin Ziqiang said this to me, everyone except me had already started to change their clothes in front of the waterfall. Even the only female, Snowy, did not hesitate to quickly take off her clothes.
I quickly turned my head and took the diving suit from a burly man. Then, I started to change my clothes.
"Can you dive?" The old Taoist asked.
"I used to play with my friends in the Mediterranean." I nodded.
"Xiao Xue, bring him with you!"
"Yes, Master!"
"Zi Qiang, lead the way!"
Snowy came up behind me and buckled up the oxygen tank and helped me with the strap around my waist.
To be honest, I've played before, and I know how to do it. But now, the beauty Xiao Xue has personally made me some equipment and my face is slightly blushing.
"When you reach the water, don't be afraid to see anything. I'll guard you from behind."
I'll be right behind you. I felt a sudden warmth in my heart when I heard this.
"En!" I nodded.
The dive had finally begun. Our dive place is in the creek pond in front of the waterfall
Zhang Ziqiang jumped in first. Immediately following that, Mr. Leng, the old Taoist also jumped in.
Snowy pointed forward, indicating that it was my turn.
Without hesitation, I jumped in after him.
"Splash …" Although I was wearing a diving suit to keep my body warm, I could feel the icy coldness of the mountain spring stream wash over me.
The bottom of the lake was slightly deep, around 7 to 8 meters deep, but one could still see the bottom.
I followed the Taoist in front of me as he continued his descent, swimming under the waterfall.
As the impact energy of the waterfall was not great, there was no water pressure at a depth of 4 meters.
In front of him, the old Daoist turned nine corners and eighteen turns before swimming into an ancient cave.
There were two stone lions beside the ancient cave. The two stone lions were covered in grass and moss.
I followed the old Daoist into the ancient cave.
This cave was abnormally narrow. At most, the two of them could swim past it side by side. It was like a pipe.
The passageway was crooked, and the old Daoist in front would often disappear from sight.
As I turned a small bend, I saw a corpse appear in front of me.
I was surprised to see a lot of bubbles that I had spat out.
The corpse's clothes were completely black, and its entire head had turned into a skeleton. A small stone crab even crawled out from its eye sockets. Seeing me, she shrank back.
Who was this person? Looks like he's been dead for a long time.
I composed myself, ignored him, and continued swimming forward.
The passageway continued to take nine bends and eighteen bends. Thankfully, there was only one path. Otherwise, it was very possible that he would get lost.
As I was making the final turn, I suddenly realized that there was no more road ahead of me.
In front of him was a bare rock wall.
Where did the old Taoist in front of me go?
He thought of the corpse that had died here.
Suddenly I had an ominous feeling. Could it be that there was some sort of mechanism?
There was only one path in this passage, how could they possibly be gone?
The more I thought about it, the more flustered I became.
Suddenly, a hand grabbed me from behind.
I struggled a bit, and when I looked back, it was Snowy.
I let out a long breath.
When I saw Snowy here, all my worries were immediately swept away.
At this moment, Snowy seemed to have understood my thoughts.
She pointed a finger at the top of her head.
I looked up.
A passageway appeared above our heads.
It turned out that the old Taoist had already gone up.
With Snowy, my heart felt a little more at ease, so I swam upwards.
The upward passage was a little long, and we swam for almost five minutes before we emerged.
When I emerged from the water, Lin Ziqiang was already on the shore.
Snowy and I came to the shore. Three strong men behind us carried four large waterproof military packs from the water to here. From one of the bags, we took out different sizes of sports wear. All eight of them had been changed for easier clothing.
After changing into a sports outfit, he carefully observed his surroundings.
This was a cave covered with stalactites, not far from the top of the mountain. There was a huge opening above his head, and a weak light poured down from above.
Unfortunately, this beam of light was too far away. When one reached the bottom of the cavern, they would only be able to vaguely distinguish their surroundings.
It was cold and damp all year round, but the air was fresh and fresh.
The stalactite cave was extremely vast, and all eight of us lit our flashlights.
Directly in front of us was a tall wall.
The wall was flat and smooth. It did not seem to have been naturally created, but rather to have been constructed by humans.
As the old Taoist led us to the smooth wall, he exclaimed, "Tsk tsk tsk! This tomb has a good layout! A waterfall flowed from the Heavenly Palace into the ground and led the stream around the Spirit Tomb. It was built into a mountain, but was independent of the other mountains. "
"There is no lack of any of the five elements in the underground palace, dragons are hidden in the clouds, and spiritual energy flows freely!" "From ancient times until now, there has always been a way to bury the dead without saying a word. Corpses are not to be feared, and the effect of turning into immortals has never been felt. Just what kind of expert in history possessed such earth-shattering methods?"
After a moment of surprise, the old Taoist nodded and said, "It's a good acupoint! That thing is definitely inside! "
I do not understand the Feng Shui that the old Taoist said, I am just very curious about this tomb.
Thus, I asked, "Dao leader, who was the one buried in this tomb?"
I am curious to know who will be buried in the tomb that even the old Taoist has praised.
"For the time being, I don't know!"
The old Daoist pointed at the big wall that was just inches away from him and said, "We have arrived at the entrance of the Mystical Palace!"
