Chapter 164 The Truth of the World, the Mysterious Gate of Heaven and Earth
The rising sun in the east, although it did not add much warmth to the cold winter day, at least it illuminated the light.
Today was the day for the emperor's funeral. The Tianshi had already taken measures to ensure that the weather was clear and there would be no rain or snow.
Chen Mo rode in the front to lead the way, and behind him was a team that stretched for hundreds of miles.
Civil and military officials, nobles in the court, all came to see him off.
The rules for the emperor's funeral and burial were naturally different from those of small families. Fortunately, these matters were specifically handled by the Ministry of Rites, and Chen Mo did not have to worry about them.
Although the team was long, the speed was not slow.
According to Chen Mo's estimation, they should be able to reach the imperial mausoleum before noon.
Either the coffin should not be moved, or since it was moved, it must be buried today.
The funeral team was not very solemn, because there were too many people participating, but it felt chaotic.
Not long after riding the horse, Chen Mo could see the imperial mausoleum from afar.
The emperors of Daqian were all buried in the imperial mausoleum, so the mausoleum was built more and more extensive. Near the mausoleum, there were also thousands of Yulin Guards and tens of thousands of imperial guards stationed to guard the imperial mausoleum.
However, the Yulin Guards stationed here were far less powerful than those in the palace.
Most of them were nobles or royal children who had made mistakes and were sent to guard the imperial mausoleum.
As the team got closer to the imperial mausoleum, imperial guards gradually appeared on both sides to guard. The imperial mausoleum of the current emperor had been built more than ten years ago.
Although the emperor died suddenly, its main structure had been built long ago.
During this period, the craftsmen responsible for building the imperial mausoleum made some sacrifices and abandoned some minor details, so that the entire imperial mausoleum could be completed before the emperor entered the mausoleum.
As for the craftsmen who built the imperial mausoleum, of course it was impossible to kill them. These were all talents, and the next emperor's mausoleum would still have to be built by them.
Walking along the mausoleum road for hundreds of feet, a semi-underground palace city appeared in front of us.
As long as the coffin is sent into the tomb for burial and the stone is pressed down, ordinary acquired warriors will not be able to enter.
Although innate warriors can break into it, there are gold and silver in this tomb but no cultivation resources. Not to mention innate warriors, I am afraid that acquired warriors will not look down on it.
"Let the coffin be buried normally first. I am in this mausoleum now." Chu Tianxiu's voice came, obviously using the secret method of sound transmission.
Chen Mo looked at the Minister of Rites and signaled him to continue the ceremony.
The officials of the Ministry of Rites who had been waiting here for a long time played the sound of bells, and the solemn mourning music sounded, which made people feel refreshed.
The whole ceremony was huge and complicated, and no mistakes were allowed.
When the coffin was completely put into the mausoleum and the stone was lowered, it was already evening.
At this moment, all the civil and military officials were relieved. The national mourning was finally over.
At most, in two or three days, the new emperor will be able to ascend the throne and reward civil and military officials.
Chen Mo found an opportunity to quietly leave and came to a house in the royal mausoleum.
Entering the courtyard, Chen Mo walked all the way to the main hall, where more than a dozen innate warriors had gathered.
But most of them had a dark aura, obviously seriously injured.
Chen Mo was a little surprised by this. Logically speaking, even if it was to discuss the life and death of the emperor, there would not be so many innate masters showing up.
"Senior Zhao, you have also escaped from that mirage." Chen Mo was quite surprised to see Zhao Xuanxin here.
Zhao Xuanxin nodded gently. Since he escaped from that mirage, he originally planned to return to the capital directly, but on the way he received a message from Chu Tianxiu and learned about everything that had happened since he disappeared during this period.
This really shocked and surprised him. In just a few months, the outside world had turned upside down.
The life and death of the emperor was unknown, and almost all of the innate masters of Daqian were seriously injured. Although the situation has improved slightly now, they still cannot act casually.
These things are really overwhelming.
Not to mention that the King of Pingxi actually wanted to seize power and usurp the throne. If he really succeeded, Daqian would most likely fall into civil strife.
Fortunately, Chen Mo took action and rectified the chaos in time, so that no disaster could be caused.
"This time, the King of Pingxi still relies on your help. We will definitely reward you in the future." Zhao Xuanxin promised.
Given his status and position, these words are definitely not just polite words, but will definitely be rewarded.
"Everyone, I am the only one who knows the situation here best, so let me explain in detail." Chu Tianxiu spoke, attracting everyone's attention.
At the same time, he released his own innate true energy, covering and sealing the entire courtyard to ensure that no one could spy on the situation.
"I have told you about Chen Mo's talent and cultivation before. He has innate cultivation at such a young age. I believe you understand what this means.
Compared to other geniuses, or you and me, with his talent, he is more likely to break through the realm of heaven and man.
So I suggest that we tell him the truth of this world first, and then I and Lao Zhao will take him to the Gate of Xuantian to see it another day."
Chu Tianxiu looked at everyone and spoke slowly.
Chen Mo frowned slightly, and his expression was even more puzzled, but he could guess that the so-called truth of this world must be an extremely important news.
At the moment, he did not say a word, waiting quietly to listen attentively.
"I have no objection to this. Mr. Chen is indeed more likely to break through the realm of heaven and man than us." An old Zen master wearing a coarse cloth monk's robe and a compassionate face spoke.
Looking at his clothes, Chen Mo could roughly guess that this old Zen master should be from Kuchan Temple.
The disciples of Kuchan Temple have the philosophy of guiding people to be good, and all disciples who have achieved success in practice should be born to experience.
Along the way, I will never take a penny of gold or silver. I will eat whatever food I can ask for, and I will not eat if I can't ask for it.
If a good believer is willing to provide a shelter from the wind and rain, he will stay there. If not, he will sleep in the wilderness.
And along the way, if you encounter bandits and bandits, you should first persuade them to put down the butcher's knife. If that fails, then use diamond methods.
If there is a river without a bridge or an uneven road, the disciples of Kuchan Temple will find ways to build roads and bridges.
If it doesn't work, I will try to make a small boat and cross the river.
After this series of experiences, only those who can return to Kuchan Temple in the end can be called the true disciples of Kuchan Temple.
It is also because the conditions are so harsh that the population of Kuchan Temple has never been prosperous.
Fortunately, there is a secret method in Buddhism that can condense relics. As long as future generations of disciples are successful in Buddhism, they can swallow the relics, refine them, and turn them into their own cultivation.
Although this process involves great losses, it can also ensure that innate warriors can be born in every generation of Kuchan Temple.
Therefore, even if its population does not flourish, its inheritance has never been cut off.
"I have no objection. He is indeed more likely to break through to the realm of heaven and man than we are."
The Taoist master of Daoxuan Mountain is dressed in seven-star treasure clothes and holds the Bagua Spirit Sword.
Daoxuanshan is the leader in Taoist sects in the world, and Daoxuanshan is master of all the talisman and elixir arrays.
In addition to several innate warriors within the sect, there is also a Jindan Daxiu who is in charge. It can be said to be the top sect in the entire world.
Today, the imperial court has been in a state of both coaxing and guarding against Daoxuan Mountain.
Because unlike Kuchan Temple, Daoxuanshan once really led the poor people who could not survive and caused the rebellion of the previous dynasty.
At the beginning, Daoxuan Mountain could even be said to be one of the princes in the world, but later he was unwilling to use weapons to destroy lives, so he was recruited by Da Qian.
But to this day, in Daozhou, where Daoxuan Mountain is located, it still responds to hundreds of calls, so the court has to guard against it.
And as far as Chen Mo knew, about two hundred years ago, a disciple of Daoxuan Mountain stood up for the poor people outside and was framed and died by the local powerful.
The powerful man's family background was extremely deep. In his family, there was not only a marquis, but also a minister of the six dynasties.
The imperial court originally wanted to smooth things over and ask the powerful man to pay compensation to Ashido Xuanshan, hoping to expose the matter.
There are no detailed records of the specific circumstances during this period. We only know that not long after, three thousand Yuyi entered the capital, and hundreds of thousands of imperial troops and several innate experts from the imperial court were mobilized with them. Everyone in the world thought it was strange.
Three days later, the court brought order to the chaos and executed the powerful man and his father, and exiled his family for five thousand miles.
After seeking justice, Sanqian Yuyi retreated. After that, the imperial court's fear of Daoxuan Mountain increased to a higher level.
And this Taoist Zhang is not only the mountain master of Daoxuan Mountain, but also the Taoist master of the entire Taoist sect. If he raises his arms and calls out, most Taoist sects in the world will respond.
"We and the royal family have no objection to this." Zhao Xuanxin said, representing the royal family's innateness.
All of them agreed, and the remaining innate warriors naturally nodded.
"Okay, since everyone agrees, I will take care of this matter."
Chu Tianxiu spoke and then looked at Chen Mo. Not only him, but all the innate warriors in the main hall were looking at Chen Mo at this moment.
“Young friends must have heard about mirages. You must have heard many people say that our world will be submerged by mirages in a thousand years.
Being submerged by the mirage is indeed good, but the time is far from a thousand years. According to our calculations, it may only take a hundred years before the mirage will completely submerge this world.
It may be a little later to hide in the paradise of cave heaven, but it will only be able to survive for more than ten years. "
Chen Mo looked surprised at first, and his brows couldn't help but frown deeply. This news was indeed too shocking.
In the past, he knew that the mirage would destroy this world, but he never took it to heart.
Thousands of years are too far away. Although my physical body is full of energy and my lifespan should be much longer than that of ordinary innate warriors, it is unknown whether I will be able to survive until that time.
But a hundred years are different, and it is foreseeable that I will still be alive by then.
Compared with the former, the latter becomes a problem that one must find a way to solve, otherwise everyone will die in a hundred years.
However, he still did not speak. He believed that since Senior Chu went to great lengths to summon dozens of innate experts and then told him this matter in front of them, it meant that there must be a solution to this matter.
The solution may be difficult, but it is there.
Because if not, they don't have to do it in vain.
"There is only one way to solve this matter, and that is to open the Mysterious Gate of Heaven and Earth and connect with the other world.
Use the power of the two worlds to fight against the mirage, only in this way can we prolong the time when our world is submerged by the mirage.
And if you want to push open the mysterious door of heaven and earth, you need at least cultivation in the realm of heaven and human.
Among all of us, you have the best talent, and you are the only one who is most likely to break through the realm of heaven and man to solve this matter. "
After Chu Tianxiu finished speaking, he stopped talking and gave Chen Mo enough time to slowly digest and understand these things.
In fact, pushing open the Mysterious Gate of Heaven and Earth is just another level of lingering, and cannot completely solve the mirage.
Although the mirage will one day submerge the entire world.
But the laws of heaven and earth in the world are like dams, which will resist the erosion of the world by the deep sea.
Now, with the power of their side of the world alone, they can no longer resist for long.
Soon, the water of the mirage sea will completely cross the dam and sweep over.
And if the two sides of heaven and earth work together, they can fight against the mirage sea more effectively.
Of course, if we do this, one day, the world may still be completely eroded.
But it is better to live than to die. Even if it cannot be completely solved, it is a good thing to live a little longer.
Only by living, maybe there is a chance to see more hope. If you die, there will be nothing.
"Then may I ask what is the mysterious gate of heaven and earth, and where is it?" Chen Mo asked with a curious look on his face.
