Chapter 297 Harvest
The door of the tomb was tightly closed, and the cold wind, if there was any, penetrated directly into the heart. A pressure as huge as a mountain came from above, and the lights in the main tomb room were dimmed.
"Did the act of opening the coffin allow the 'evil ghost' to escape the suppression a little, or did it activate the seal of the entire tomb?"
Such thoughts suddenly appeared in the hearts of Meng Qi and others, as if they were isolated from the world.
They looked at each other and without thinking, they chose to return early at the same time. Anyway, the mission in Zhenwu Xinzhong was initially completed!
If you find a way out, if you encounter the former, it will be extremely dangerous. If you encounter the latter, you will not be able to get out at all. Staying in such a mausoleum for a month will be worse than dead, which is not conducive to cultivation.
A flash of blue light appeared out of thin air, and Meng Qi, Jiang Zhiwei and others disappeared into the main tomb chamber.
The dense beam of light hung down and enveloped Meng Qi. He suddenly felt a chill, and traces of black energy seeped out of his body.
The black energy disappeared quickly like snow meeting the sun, and there was a faint scream: "Yes..."
Meng Qi was shocked. When had he been possessed by the "evil ghost"? He was so unaware that he didn't even notice the green lantern in front of the Buddha. Without the Lord of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, it would be extremely dangerous.
However, considering that the green lantern in front of the Buddha was almost completely destroyed, and the "evil ghost" was Emperor Zhenwu's evil thoughts, it is not surprising that he could achieve this level.
Apart from this, Meng Qi was not injured. After the black energy dissipated, the "seeds" of concentrated Yang energy were untied, the light beam receded, and Jiang Zhiwei and others were seen.
"We were possessed by the evil spirit's breath just now." Jiang Zhiwei's face was slightly solemn, but she was not too nervous, just a little scared, because when she found out, the "evil ghost" had already been uprooted by the Lord of Six Paths of Reincarnation.
"Fortunately, there is the Lord of the Six Paths of Reincarnation." Meng Qi sighed. He is really powerful and specializes in treating difficult and complicated diseases.
At this time, the calm voice of the Lord of Six Paths of Reincarnation sounded:
"The mission of Zhenwu Suspicion Tomb has ended early. Should you choose to leave, or should you stay here and practice the Reincarnation Talisman for the remaining time?"
Hey, there is such a good thing! Without exception, Meng Qi and others chose to practice.
"This mission is really short." Jiang Zhiwei first calmed down her fear of being possessed by an evil spirit.
Because there was plenty of time, everyone was not in a hurry to redeem.
Meng Qi chewed his teeth and said, "The first step of a series of tasks is relatively simple, with low rewards and low risks. Although there are variables, it still basically conforms to this rule."
"Well, if we didn't have the magic of changing the sky and striking the earth, maybe we would have gone more smoothly and less nervously. The real danger lies in the silent possession of evil spirits, and with the Lord of Six Paths of Reincarnation, we don't need to worry." Jiang Zhiwei Nod in agreement.
If Meng Qi hadn't tried the magic of transforming the sky and striking the earth, the evil ghost wouldn't even have shown up, and the same goes for Huangfu Tao, who is at the level of exterior scenes. Everyone faced Huang Gang and other living dead who were only half a step closer to the strength of exterior scenes. Meng Qi himself could It can be dealt with, or in other words, everyone can work together to complete it when they first get the black fur, which is more in line with the concept of the first step in a chain of tasks.
Ruan Yushu's expression was cold, and he looked at his shoulder from time to time, as if he was afraid that another evil ghost would suddenly appear there: "Even if there is a change caused by the magic of changing the sky and striking the earth, there is actually no danger, and I am not too nervous."
Except the evil ghost is a bit scary...
"Yes, it feels strange. The tension comes and goes." Qi Zhengyan breathed out expressionlessly.
This is indeed the case. Along the way, everyone's tension disappeared as soon as it rose, without the depression and fear of marching in the tomb of Emperor Zhenwu.
For example, after discovering a zombie that was close to the level of a half-step outdoor scene, he immediately recognized that it was similar to the Immanent Life and Death Sect, which could be defeated by transforming the sky and striking the earth; for example, after seeing a message about a ghost here, he soon discovered the Zhenlong Terrace and deduced that The evil ghost is suppressed; for example, after encountering the living dead in an outdoor scene, you quickly realize that he is keeping his hands, releasing water, and feeding moves; for example, when your memory fades in the fog, you are reminded and confirmed that the evil ghost cannot take action himself.
In addition to being able to return at any time, the only tense moment was in front of the main tomb, when many living dead attacked. The rest of the time, the tension just started and then subsided quickly. In short, it was more in line with the description of the first step of the chain mission. It was relatively simple and not dangerous. Big, the harvest is also low.
"Where should I go to find the Xuanwu Pendant?" The past has passed, and it is a less dangerous task. Except for some message murals in the Zhenwu Tomb that need to be remembered, Meng Qi has forgotten it and started thinking about the clues for the second step. , "Could it be somewhere else inside the mausoleum?"
Jiang Zhiwei pondered for a moment and said: "They should have been taken out of the Zhenwu Suspicious Tomb. It is impossible for the living dead to be born with such strong strength. Huangfu Tao obviously began to practice Zhengfa after comprehending the thunder marks. If it is completed in the mausoleum, , in the state of 'physical death', it will not grow, it will only rot, and it is impossible to practice normal skills. "
"They should have entered the mausoleum, had an adventure, then left, practiced on location, and finally returned to the mausoleum and became the living dead because of the possession of the evil ghost's breath." Qi Zhengyan judged, "If we don't have the Lord of Six Paths of Reincarnation, This should be their fate.”
Ruan Yushu said calmly: "Even if there is no master of the six realms of reincarnation, as long as the attack does not occur immediately, an expert can still detect the possession of evil spirits."
The expert she calls is at least the master level.
Meng Qi nodded and said: "In other words, it is very likely that one of the living dead wore the Xuanwu out of the mausoleum as a family heirloom. According to the fact that the true meaning of the thunder marks will dissipate after being understood, the first one to enter the main tomb chamber The living dead must be Huangfu Tao, we have to start with him, um, Jiuxiang World, Jushen Villa."
Everyone talked and slowly outlined the situation.
"If the living dead didn't get it, you can consider the place where the black fur was obtained." Jiang Zhiwei changed the subject, "Being able to draw an internal route map and know the suspected tomb of Zhenwu, he must have a close relationship with the Great Emperor Zhenwu."
Meng Qi hummed: "The person involved is dead, and it will take a while to find the source of the black fur. Let's consider the Jiuxiang world first. I think the serial tasks will go there sooner or later..."
This is an inexplicable intuition.
Everyone didn't have the reincarnation talisman, so they couldn't go to the Jiuxiang world for a while. After the discussion, they put the Diquan Ganoderma and "Taiyin Demon-Slaying True Solution" into the central light column.
"Ganoderma Lucidum, grows for 150 years... worth 700 merits."
"The True Solution of Taiyin Demon-Slaying (edited), the external scene method... worth 1,500 merits."
Meng Qi and others were not surprised that the Ganoderma Lucidum was only 150 years old. The previous ones must have been taken away by people who had a chance encounter in the mausoleum to make medicine or swallowed directly. As for the "True Solution of Taiyin Demon-Slaying", he would also change it at the key points if he was an evil ghost. Anyway, he and others did not plan to practice or eat it, so they all changed it into merits.
Equally divided, each person got 550 merits, which was the first step of the serial task.
Meng Qi kept the necessary part of the elixir he got from the Six Gates and changed it all into merits. About two months of salary would have 400 merits, not much but not too little. If the interval between tasks was one year, it would be worth the energy he spent collecting secrets and eliminating bandits and horse bandits.
"Nine hundred and fifty merits." Meng Qi said, "Jiangdong is full of troubles and the situation is treacherous. We must be on guard. I plan to exchange for a pill of Da Huan Dan and two months of practice to stabilize the seven orifices, initially adjust the inner world, and practice to become a 'flying fairy from the sky'."
The remaining fifty are for use.
Jiang Zhiwei exchanged the things she had collected during this period of time, and a total of nine hundred merits. Hearing this, she happily said: "I will also exchange for a Da Huan Dan and two months, and we will practice together."
The things everyone exchanged last time have not been completely digested. What they need most is not other things, but time. Now that they have this opportunity, Jiang Zhiwei will certainly not let it go.
Moreover, without her guidance, it would be a bit difficult for Meng Qi to practice to become a "flying fairy from the sky" within three months, even if he has already shed his mortal body.
Meng Qi suddenly felt warm in his heart. This is a life-and-death friendship!
Most of the things Qi Zhengyan had were prepared for traveling, so he was not in a hurry to exchange them for merits. The rest only added up to a few dozen: "In that case, I will also exchange for two months. Otherwise, with my current strength, I will be a little uncertain when I arrive in Jiangdong."
His seven orifices were not stable, and he was far from adjusting his inner world, so he planned to practice hard with Meng Qi and Jiang Zhiwei, and exchange the remaining merits for various things to assist in practice.
Ruan Yushu frowned: "I'll join you too."
The elixir in her mustard ring can still be used in the next mission, so she didn't let the Lord of the Six Paths of Reincarnation get away with it, and the remaining 150 merits were not used.
"Is it a bit of a waste to keep so many?" Meng Qi asked subconsciously.
Ruan Yushu didn't even raise her eyes, and said coldly: "Can you practice fasting in three months?"
Meng Qi was speechless, fortunately he kept 50 merits.
After they settled down in their rooms, Jiang Zhiwei first found Meng Qi and asked directly: "Do you plan to adjust your inner world based on the Golden Bell Cover or the Eight-Nine Mysterious Art?"
"Of course, the Eight-Nine Mysterious Art." Meng Qi answered without hesitation.
Jiang Zhiwei chuckled: "It's the same as I thought. According to the description of the Eight-Nine Mysterious Art, I think its focus is not strength, not physical strength, nor change, but the enlightenment behind it."
"Ah?" Meng Qi was a little confused. He practiced but didn't think much about the Eight-Nine Mysterious Art.
Jiang Zhiwei chuckled: "Enlightenment is a Taoist saying. For Buddhists, it is the Buddha nature of oneself."
She paused: "The Eight-Nine Mysterious Art is about control and change. If you practice to the extreme depth and become Brother Qi, whether it is the physical body, breath, behavior, habits and unique characteristics of the soul, they are the same as his. Can outsiders tell the difference?"
"No." Meng Qi is still very confident in the ability of the Eight-Nine Mysterious Art to change.
Jiang Zhiwei nodded gently: "Then on the other hand, if you see someone whose body, breath, behavior, habits and unique characteristics of the soul are consistent with mine, can you be sure that it is not me?"
Meng Qi's face suddenly became solemn: "No."
Jiang Zhiwei's expression became solemn: "So, what is true and what is false? The characteristics seen by the eyes, the sounds heard by the ears, and the traces felt by the mind are all subject to their own limitations and external influences. Without the full picture, everything gained is bound by the body, mind and heaven."
"In the Buddhist way, everything you see is a combination of cause and effect, not real, and everything you see is non-appearance. Therefore, if you can see through external interference and your own shackles, you can see your own Buddha nature. The Eight-Nine Mysterious Art is to seek the real method through changes. If you want to adjust your inner world, you must consider this aspect."
Considering that Meng Qi was born a monk, she replaced some of the statements in the "Taishang Sword Sutra" with Buddhist terms.
"... I didn't expect that you, Zhiwei, have such a high level of cultivation." Meng Qi was silent for a while, then sighed.
Jiang Zhiwei held back her laughter: "I also only partially understand it. Most of it was what Master said when he explained the 'Supreme Sword Scripture' to me. I saw that the Eight-Nine Mysterious Skills have similarities, so I reminded you."
"Although Jiang Hengchuan and others are superior to you in realm and can achieve unity of man and nature, the Eight-Nine Mysterious Art is also varied and good at avoiding disasters. If you can harmonize with it in the inner world, you may be able to conceal your own situation under the unity of man and nature. At that time, at least in knowing the enemy, they will not be better than you, and can even create illusions, bury "flaws", and defeat the enemy."
Huh, Meng Qi exhaled, this is the peerless magic skill!
…………
Outside Maoling City, in a hidden place, a green light flashed, and Meng Qi appeared.
His breath was a little ethereal, making people unpredictable, and then he was calm and there was no abnormality.
"I finally practiced the Fairy from the Sky." Meng Qi looked at Maoling City from a distance, smiling, but the biggest gain was not this!
