Chapter 103: A Tomb in a Tomb
After solving Wang He's golden pill, Xia Ping and the three of them did not encounter any blockers in the following time.
It doesn't matter if those with ulterior motives have been cleared by Wang He in advance, or if Xia Ping and the three have changed their route. In short, without the obstruction of others, the speed of the three of them was at least doubled, and they soon came to Longxi Province, which is the location of the Ghost King's tomb.
As for why he didn't return to Jiangning City, but came here, it was mainly because Xia Ping was a little uneasy after learning the true purpose of the Ghost King's Tomb from Shen Xuzi.
Although this matter is not very involved with himself, even if something really goes wrong afterwards, there are tall people who are on top of it, and it can't fall on Xia Ping's head at all. Theoretically, Xia Ping only had to wait obediently for those who had benefited from the Ghost King's Tomb to come out, and then he would get benefits from them. It's good to reap the benefits of the fisherman.
It's just that Xia Ping is not the kind of hard-hearted person after all, and he can't watch countless people die because of this incident. After all, the one who wants to be resurrected in the tomb of the Ghost King is the Great Monk of the Yuan Infant Period, and as long as he is resurrected, it will definitely be a catastrophe.
If it was within his power, he would still be willing to help.
"Shen Xuzi, does anyone else know the truth about the Ghost King's Tomb?"
Walking in the desert with Shen Xuzi, Xia Ping couldn't help asking. As for Xue Lin, because of his limited strength, when he left Jicheng, he parted ways with Xia Ping.
Of course, Xue Lin is not without things to do, in fact, her task is very heavy. Because she wanted to spread the news to the Cangming faction, she invited Cangyue Zhenren over by the way. After all, Xia Ping is also a person who cherishes his life, and in this kind of thing, of course, he must first ask a thigh to come over and hug him.
Thinking of this, Xia Ping couldn't help but turn his head to look at Shen Xuzi who had a vicissitudes of life. If what I expected was true, this person should be considered a thigh. But Xia Ping couldn't figure out the character of this old guy, and in terms of life safety, he was still his own beautiful master.
"Since I can deduce it, there will naturally be other people who can deduce it. ”
Shen Xuzi didn't pay attention to Xia Ping's gaze towards him, but explained while struggling to walk through the desert: "Although there will never be many people who know the truth, there must be no shortage of them. First of all, the government and the five major forces are absolutely aware, and secondly, many reclusive old monsters are estimated to be able to deduce the truth. ”
"However, you don't need to worry too much about that ghost king. Basically, every big force will have something to press the bottom of the box, and even if this ghost king is really resurrected, it is not particularly difficult to suppress him. I think this is also the reason why these big forces take the risk of trying to seize the source of life even if they know the truth of the matter. ”
"Shen Xuzi, aren't you a member of the Tianji Pavilion? The Tianji Pavilion also belongs to one of the five major forces, so in this way, aren't you even included in your own sect?"
"What's so strange about that. I'm a member of the Tianji Pavilion, but I'm not a slave of the Tianji Pavilion, so I can't say anything. Just like you work in a company, you look like the company is my home on weekdays, but in secret, you don't have to arrange it how you want. ”
Shen Xuzi glanced at Xia Ping with a surprised look and said.
"Ha, I thought that you people in the True Cultivation Realm would be different. ”
"It's all from mortal cultivation, how can it be different. Unless you really have no desires, then you will really become an immortal. ”
Shen Xuzi didn't know what to think, and smiled strangely: "If the immortal is really like that, I might as well be a cultivator for a lifetime." ”
"That's right. ”
Xia Ping also nodded in agreement, and glanced at the map by the way, and found that it was less than ten kilometers away from the Ghost King's Tomb.
"It's really amazing to say, I didn't expect that the impact of the Ghost King's Tomb on the surrounding environment has spread to a radius of dozens of kilometers. Within this boundary, all means of transport lost power, and they had to walk on foot on their legs, as if they were on a pilgrimage. ”
Xia Ping said helplessly while stepping on the soft desert under his feet. If it weren't for the influence of the Ghost King's Tomb, why bother walking in the desert with Shen Xuzi and the two of them. It's just nothing to blame.
Of course, Xia Ping and Shen Xuzi are not alone in this desert.
Since the news of the accident in the Tomb of the Ghost King has spread among the major forces, there are many people who have come here to explore. Every now and then, you can meet one or two "travel friends". And the closer you get to the Ghost King's Tomb, the denser the crowd becomes. People who don't know the truth really think that this group of people are pilgrimages.
"Hehe, maybe it's really a pilgrimage. ”
I saw Shen Xuzi show a meaningful smile at this time and said: "According to historical records, in ancient times, this kind of pilgrimage was actually very common. After all, he is a great monk of Yuanying, and if his mausoleum is inconspicuous, then it is strange. ”
Speaking of this, Shen Xuzi couldn't help but look at the ancient tomb in the distance with a look of envy, and said, "If only I could have this treatment after I die." ”
"No problem, when you leave, let me know, how luxurious are we coming. ”
Xia Ping suddenly opened his mouth and smiled: "Anyway, it won't be worse than the current mausoleum." ”
"That's fine!"
Xia Ping didn't expect that Shen Xuzi was really thinking about this question seriously: "If it were you, I'm afraid you would definitely be better than me by then." If you build me a mausoleum, it will be better than others, and it will save me some small nights to disturb my sleep. ”
"Fortunately, this is the era of the end of the law, otherwise, the old man, I don't have the luxury of cultivating at all. ”
At this moment, Xia Ping suddenly paused. As if he suddenly thought of something, he looked at Shen Xuzi with a strange expression and said, "Old man, what did you just say?"
"I mean, this little bit of cultivation of mine can only be majestic in the current era of the end of the law, and in the ancient period, it was not even a fart at all. ”
"Yes, that's it. I saw Xia Ping suddenly clapped his palm and said, "Then do you think that the Yuan Infant Stage was very powerful in the ancient period?"
"Huh?"
After hearing Xia Ping's words, Shen Xuzi immediately stopped, his brows furrowed slightly. Apparently he also noticed a problem that he had been overlooking.
"I see!"
I saw Xia Ping's eyes suddenly light up and said, "Old man, don't you think this Ghost King Tomb is a little weird? Do you think that if you were this ancient monk, you would build this tomb so luxuriously and eye-catching?"
"And I thought it was a little weird before. ”
Xia Ping touched his chin and said contemplatively: "Although there is some danger outside the cemetery, according to the auctioneers, even if you don't enter the cemetery, this cemetery will fly out from time to time Some natural treasures, or Gongfa pills, isn't this clearly telling others that I have good things here for others to rob the tomb?"
"Well, your words are not unreasonable. ”
After hearing Xia Ping's words, Shen Xuzi also felt that something was wrong.
Originally, it was not difficult for a person like him to think of this at all. But the difficulty lies in the mindset.
In today's cultivation realm, not to mention the Yuanying realm, even the Jindan period is rare to see for decades. Therefore, when it comes to the Yuan Infant Stage, people naturally take it for granted that he is an old-timer at the level of a master in the cultivation realm.
A senior in the Peerless Cultivation Realm, cultivating the cemetery to this specification is naturally unbeaked.
But if this primordial infancy is brought into the ancient period of full aura, then this cemetery is somewhat intriguing.
In ancient times, the Yuanying realm was probably the same as the current Qi refining period, and it was simply a commodity that could be seen everywhere. Repairing the mausoleum to a specification comparable to the power of antiquity is a very fatal act.
And he deliberately put in the treasures of heaven and earth, for fear that others would not notice.
But the strange thing is that this cemetery has experienced the turmoil of antiquity and thousands of years of evolution, and it is still intact.
Then there are only two possibilities, the first one may be that this mausoleum has only recently begun to appear in this situation, in ancient times it has always been a man with his tail between his legs, no, a mausoleum.
But this speculation is not reliable.
Because even the great powers of the ancients could not have predicted the current era of the end of the law. Therefore, the owner of this cemetery must not have expected today's situation, and this statement that there is obviously a backhand is obviously untenable.
As for the other speculation, it's a bit scary.
That is, the owner of this mausoleum is not a Yuan Infant at all. The Yuan Infant Stage is just a front to attract greedy tomb robbers, who then drain their life essence to accelerate the cultivation of the source of life.
If this is the case, then it is likely that this Ghost King Tomb will have a tomb within a tomb.
And what is inside the tomb is the truly terrifying thing.
Thinking of this, Xia Ping and Shen Xuzi couldn't help but glance at each other, and they both saw the fear in each other's eyes.
