Chapter 8: The Tomb of the Heavenly King

The way of martial arts has been a symbol of Chinese civilization from ancient times to the present, the origin has a long history, different regions have their own different schools of martial arts, the influence of the folk can be said to be deep-rooted, the first was used in military training, after hundreds of years to form a school, from the Qin Dynasty, until the Song and Ming dynasties reached the peak of the heyday, and therefore, during this period there were many martial arts people and martial arts wizards, and the martial arts cheats handed down are countless, but because there are many people who learn martial arts, I couldn't agree with the plan, so there were many schools, sects or sects in various parts of the people, such as the Wudang School, Shaolin Temple, Quanzhen Sect and some other more famous ones in the world, and the people at that time collectively called them [Wulin].

Martial arts is surging, cooking wine on the sword, fighting the strong and aggressive, fighting the sword Jianghu are all martial arts, from time to time which two parties do not like the eye will provoke the so-called martial arts disputes, small social chaos, big is the life of the miserable, and the rivers and lakes are naturally to be solved by the people of the rivers and lakes, in order to maintain the stability of the entire martial arts, we will jointly discuss the election of a highly respected and strong martial arts person to be the head of the entire martial arts, everyone must listen to their orders, not to fight without authorization or provoke indifferent turmoil, And this person is also the so-called [Martial Arts Alliance Master].

However, the territory of Huaxia is so vast, and a single martial arts alliance leader cannot have full jurisdiction, so under the martial arts alliance master, a deputy alliance leader was set up in the east, west, north and south, respectively, called Qinglongmen, Baihumen, Vermilion Bird Gate and Xuanwu Gate, which is the so-called Four Heavenly Kings, and these four people are in charge of the Heavenly King Order, and seeing the order is like seeing the alliance leader, until he dies, the token will be transferred to the next Heavenly King.

The rise of martial arts threatened the dominance of the emperor at that time. Therefore, after the Song and Ming dynasties, the Qing Dynasty began to restrict the practice of martial arts by the people, in order to suppress its momentum of sparking the prairies. Thus dismantling the entire martial arts to maintain the stability of centralized power, also in that period. The so-called martial arts alliance leader and the four heavenly kings are no longer in the zĂ i, and at that time, except for some sects and sects stationed in the mountains, the rest of the zĂ i folk sects can only be called "society" or "pavilion", so there is the so-called [martial arts hall], and then later, martial arts were developed in the form of sports, many moves and routines were bound by the rules, and the actual combat was far weakened until the twenty-first century. Martial artists who can practice to the realm of creation are already pitiful.

Zhang Wenxi was the last king of the Northern Heavenly Heavens at that time, and he was able to reach the peak of chemical martial arts, proficient in the peerless learning of thirty-six top martial arts sects, and created the inner strength of Shinto martial arts "Yin and Yang Fourteen Turns", but a person with such a realm ended up with a tragic end of having no children and no daughters or even a disciple in later life, according to legend, the most widespread is because he went crazy in the last layer of practicing the fourteen turns of yin and yang, as for whether this is the case but no one knows, there is no historical record to investigate, and it has become a mystery.

Yenching Time. 14:50 p.m., Tomb of the Heavenly King of Guihu Mountain.

After Tang Zhongmou and the greedy wolf were fully armed, they walked in one after another from the stairs at the entrance of the tomb under Lian Zhen's worried gaze, the stairs were extended downward, and they couldn't find the end with a flashlight. Obviously, the location of the tomb is at least ten meters or even tens of meters away, as Tang Zhongmou said. The entrance can only accommodate two adults walking side by side, and the surrounding walls are made of dark gold stones. For hundreds of years, it has been covered with a thick layer of dust, which can also be seen. The burial chamber is not ventilated, and the entrance is the exit. There is no other way out.

Since the two of them only had two hours, Tang Zhongmou didn't deliberately study the murals and words on the surrounding walls, and after walking for nearly five minutes, the two finally walked down the stairs, and what appeared in front of them was a stone gate that looked very heavy.

The greedy wolf put on rubber gloves and pressed the stone door, saying, "This door has a mechanism, I can't push it open!" ”

Tang Zhongmou took a flashlight and looked around, and found that there was a desk made of stone next to the door, and there was a compass-like thing on it, with the names of the twenty-eight stars written on it, and said, "It seems that you still have to use this to open the door!" ”

The greedy wolf walked over and looked at it, and said, "I don't understand this thing!" ”

Tang Zhongmou analyzed: "There are twenty-eight constellations above, the owner of the tomb is known as the king of the North Heaven, and the north is Xuanwu. ”

Although he came to a conclusion, Tang Zhongmou still hesitated for a while before starting, after all, he had palpitations about this tomb, and he was afraid that the method of opening the door here was not so simple, but in addition to this, he couldn't think of any other role for the twenty-eight stars on this compass, and finally gritted his teeth or used the dead horse as a live horse doctor, when he turned this compass in a cold sweat, he only heard a bang, followed by a violent shaking of the ground, filled with a cloud of smoke, There are also fine stones falling down, the two hurriedly ran to the position against the wall and stood up, and only when they were calm again did they breathe a sigh of relief, only to see that the smoke was pouring in one direction, and the two of them also walked over cautiously, only to see that the heavy stone door had been opened, and their hearts were instantly happy.

Tang Zhongmou was the first to walk into the stone gate, but he didn't take two steps, and suddenly he accidentally stepped on a mechanism made of stone under his feet, and when he felt his feet sinking down, his heart also jumped, only to hear a loud sound of breaking wind from far and near. The greedy wolf's eyes are fast, and with his superb hearing, he protected Tang Zhongmou to dodge back and forth in the dark arrow rain, and it took a minute or two to stop, at this time, there were already wooden arrows around them and under their feet, which scared Tang Zhongmou into a cold sweat, if it weren't for the greedy wolf, a master, I am afraid that he would have ten thousand arrows through his heart now.

"Mr. Tang, are you alright?" Greedy Wolf asked worriedly.

"I'm fine," Tang Zhongmou patted his chest and abdomen and breathed a sigh of relief, and said gratefully: "Thank you just now!" ”

The greedy wolf said: "This is what I should do!" ”

Tang Zhongmou shone the flashlight inside, confirmed the surrounding situation before carefully taking every step, with the lesson just now, he definitely didn't dare to mess around now, the space here is very large, except for the dead people's bones all over the ground, a cursory look, it seems to be an eight-array diagram, including the one they came in, there are the other seven entrances. Tang Zhongmou carefully investigated, and was surprised to find that these seven entrances turned out to be the seven doors of rest, life, injury, Du, Jing, surprise, and opening, according to the eight gates, the last door of death is the door they are entering now, the book reads: Shengmen, Jingmen, open the door and enter the auspicious, injured door, shocked door, and closed door to enter the injury, Du Gate, death door to enter the death, so this door they enter or not?

"What's the matter, Mr. Tang, is there any problem?" Seeing that Tang Zhongmou's face was a little embarrassed, the greedy wolf couldn't help asking.

Tang Zhongmou breathed lightly, thinking that a gossip array without an army of 100,000 could trap Lao Tzu, seeing that I broke your formation, he gritted his teeth and said: "Greedy wolf, the one in front of us is called the Nine Palace Bagua Array, and the one in front of us is called the Death Gate, according to what I know, entering this door is entering the Hades Palace, if I can't break this thing, the two of us may be trapped inside and unable to get out, I want to hear your thoughts, because this time even I am not very sure!" ”

The greedy wolf said without hesitation: "I believe in Mr. Tang, you just have to tell me, and I will do it!" ”

Tang Zhongmou nodded and said, "There are seven other doors in front of us, and I have never entered through the door of death, so I can't think of which door to go out from after entering through this door, but isn't there an old saying that if you put yourself to death and live later, then we will go through the door of death!" ”

The greedy wolf didn't object, he didn't know anything about this kind of thing, and he had already come to this point, so there was no turning back, just like every time he was ordered to kill someone, he didn't think about what would happen to kill that person at all, whether he was alive or dead, the only purpose was to complete the task given to him by the above.

This is the most headache Tang Zhongmou has ever encountered in the tomb, the previous ones can be solved as long as he uses yin and yang techniques, and now he still has some psychological bottomlessness when he encounters this kind of guy who does not follow the routine, thinking that he has done so many immoral things, not to mention that he will go to hell if he dies, and now he has to go back to the palace of Hades when he is alive, if he can make him blind, then it proves that Hades still disdains to accept his life now.

Slowly walked into the tomb, the cold and humid air made Tang Zhongmou shiver, and when the greedy wolf also stepped into the tomb, the heavy door suddenly slammed shut, which startled both of them, and after the door closed, the temperature in the tomb dropped sharply, and even the greedy wolf felt a biting cold air filling the surrounding air, followed by a burst of bone "Gadagada" sound, in this dark tomb It looked extremely weird, At this time, Tang Zhongmou remembered the dead man's bones all over the ground just now, and couldn't help but tremble, and exclaimed: "I'll go, corpse Gu technique!" ”

At this time, there was already a skeleton standing in the place where the greedy wolf and Tang Zhongmou's flashlight were shining, holding ancient weapons in their hands, swords, guns, swords, halberds, but they looked dilapidated, but Tang Zhongmou believed that he would definitely have to see Lord Yama if he was stabbed by this thing, and said with a solemn face at the moment: "When my master was alive, he took me to Dian Zhou to see Gu art, and there are many black Gu who manipulate the dead, if I guess wrong, these cold qi around me should be Gu poison, using our breath as an introduction to trigger Gu art, so listen to me now, Hold your breath and slowly lean towards the birth gate!
