It is said that after Ling Muyun left Lin'an, he bought a healthy horse to travel, all the way to the north, successively crossed the Yangtze River, Huaishui, and the Yellow River, and then turned into Shaanxi, and went straight to Zhongnan Mountain, trekking for several months, traveling thousands of miles, and finally reached the boundary of Zhongnan Mountain.

Zhongnan Mountain, also known as Taiyi Mountain, Dilung Mountain, Zhongnan Mountain, Zhounan Mountain, referred to as Nanshan, is a section of the Qinling Mountains, known as "the fairy capital", "the crown of the cave sky" and "the first blessed land in the world".

Stepping into the area of Zhongnan Mountain, as far as the eye can see, you can only see the hills and mountains winding, the pines and cypresses are reflected, the mountains are stacked on top of each other, the greenery is lush, it can be said that Zhong Lingyu is beautiful, and the scenery is extraordinary. Wang Wei, a great poet of the Tang Dynasty, once said: "Taiyi is close to the sky, and even the mountains are connected to the sea." The white clouds look back, and the blue mist enters to see nothing. The peaks in the field change, and the clouds and sunshines are different. If you want to stay with someone, ask the woodcutter across the water. "To depict the grandeur and ever-changing charm of Zhongnan Mountain, the beauty of Zhongnan Mountain can be seen.

Seeing Zhongnan Mountain, Ling Muyun finally breathed a sigh of relief. His journey has not been smooth sailing, not only encountered several robbers, but also stayed in a black shop, if he is not alert, plus the swordsmanship is okay, I am afraid that he will be solved halfway before Zhongnanshan. Especially when he stayed in the black shop, if he hadn't seen the situation wrong, he didn't eat and drink the wine and food prepared for him by the black shop, he might have to be killed by someone else to chop Chengren meat bun filling.

Entering the boundary of Zhongnan Mountain, Ling Muyun suddenly felt that the law and order were at ease, although he couldn't talk about the road, he didn't pick up the leaves and didn't close his door at night, and he basically couldn't see the matter of annihilating criminals.

But this is not surprising, after all, Zhongnan Mountain is the territory of the Quanzhen Sect, the Quanzhen Sect has opened its doors since its inception, at this time there are thousands of sword-wielding disciples under its command, and the momentum has even overshadowed the Shaolin Temple, the ancestral court of Zen Buddhism, which has been famous for hundreds of years, and the world's largest beggar gang jointly governs the Central Plains Martial Arts Niu'er, although it is not an official government, but as far as the Zhongnan Mountain boundary is concerned, its deterrent power is much greater than that of the government.

Bandits and robbers and the like did not dare to set foot in this place, lest they be given chivalrous righteousness by the disciples of the Quanzhen Sect who claimed to be chivalrous and righteous, and the people in the official mansion were brainwashed by chivalrous thoughts because they drew their swords and cleaned up, knowing the power of chivalry and forbiddenness, they did not dare to oppress the people like other places.

Although Ling Muyun came to Zhongnan Mountain for the first time, he didn't know the way, but it was difficult for him, the Quanzhen Sect was really known to everyone in the Zhongnan Mountain Realm, Ling Muyun just casually asked someone to figure out the location of the Quanzhen Sect. With the Quanzhen Sect as a signpost, the tomb of the living dead is naturally not difficult to find.

Ling Muyun followed the instructions of the locals and went to Zhongnan Mountain, all the way to the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, where the Quanzhen Sect was located. From the local population, it is known that some important passes and paths of Shangzhong Nanshan are guarded by disciples of the Quanzhen Sect, and no one can enter or leave. In order to avoid trouble, he did not go up the mountain directly, but first found an inn in the town at the foot of the mountain to rest temporarily, and prepared to wait until the evening to quietly touch the mountain.

With the time to rest, Ling Muyun also made some preparations. Since he came for the "Chongyang Legacy Inscription" this time, he naturally wanted to enter the tomb of the living dead. There are two ways to enter the ancient tomb, the first is to enter through the gate, which is naturally unrealistic. The tomb of the living dead is now occupied by the ancient tomb faction handed down by Lin Chaoying, although the patriarch of the founding school, Lin Chaoying, has long since died, it can be estimated from time that the master of Xiaolongnu and Li Mochou, that is, Lin Chaoying's personal maid back then, should still be there. Although Ling Muyun didn't know what her martial arts were, if she was able to teach apprentices like Xiaolongnu and Li Mochou, she must not be weak, at least she had to be a first-class Seven Sons of Quanzhen, with Ling Muyun's three-legged cat kung fu, if she really broke in, she might not be able to play with one hand.

Another way is to dive through an underwater tunnel. This underwater secret passage was only discovered by Xiaolongnu and Yang Guo by accident in the era of the Condor Heroes, and it is still unknown, even the people of the ancient tomb sect who live in the tomb of the living dead in China do not know, and the only one who knows Wang Chongyang has already been a ghost at this time, and it is safest to sneak into it. Therefore, Ling Muyun had already made up his mind to dive into the tomb before coming to Zhongnan Mountain.

Since you are going to dive into the tomb, you need to do some preparation for diving. If Ling Muyun's memory was not bad, it seemed that it would take quite a while for Xiaolongnu and Yang Guo to dive out along the underwater secret passage in the original book, as for how long it was, although he had forgotten it, it was definitely not within three or five minutes, it seemed to take three or two moments.

At that time, Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu were already successful in their internal skills, and their breath was much longer than that of ordinary people, and they learned the method of holding their breath in the "Nine Yin True Scripture", and it was naturally okay to hold their breath underwater for a period of time. But his current body has not practiced any internal strength, and it is okay to hold a minute and a half of qi, and if he holds it for so long like Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu in the original book, he can only suffocate to death. Therefore, Ling Muyun planned to make a few oxygen bags to carry with him in case of emergency.

Fortunately, the oxygen bag does not have too high requirements for materials, and the production process is also very simple, Ling Muyun went to the market to buy some pig urine bubbles and came back, and it didn't take long to make more than a dozen simple oxygen bags.

At nightfall, Ling Muyun left the inn where he was resting with seven or eight oxygen bags and quietly climbed Zhongnan Mountain. After all, the Quanzhen Sect is only a martial arts sect, and the vigilance is no better than the army, and after the evening, most of the disciples guarding the mountain road checkpoint were taken back, and only a few sentry posts were left near the mountain gate, so Ling Muyun did not encounter the slightest obstacle on the way up the mountain.

According to the memory of the plot of the original book, Ling Muyun came to the forbidden place behind the Quanzhen Sect to look carefully, but fortunately, it was just in time for the night of the full moon, and there was moonlight illuminating, and Ling Muyun could not see the path clearly. It's just a huge Zhongnan Mountain, how can it be so simple to find a place that you haven't been to?

It took most of the night to find the location of the ancient tomb until dawn.

But then Ling Muyun made another difficulty, because although he found the location of the ancient tomb, he did not find the entrance to the underwater secret passage. Although he discovered the main entrance of the ancient tomb, he didn't dare to enter from here even if he lent him another guts.

Fortunately, the Tomb Sect is only two or three big cats and small cats, and they are all standard house girls who live in simple places, and the Quanzhen Sect has divided a large area of the back mountain where the ancient tomb is located into a forbidden place, and Ling Muyun is not afraid of being disturbed and discovered, so he calmed down and searched around.

From dawn to evening, Ling Muyun walked around the entire ancient tomb, and did not find the exit of the underwater secret passage, but his stomach growled with hunger.

"Forget it, let's find this place today, my stomach is almost hungry, it's better to go down the mountain first to fill my stomach, and then it's not too late to go up the mountain."

Ling Muyun was tired and hungry, so he had no choice but to give up for the time being, find his way down the mountain, and prepare to go back to the inn where he was resting to have a full meal, and have a good rest.

I returned to the inn where I rested in the town down the mountain, had a hearty meal, and then slept all night, and did not get up until the next day, near noon. After a combined breakfast and lunch meal in the inn's cafeteria, he turned back to his room, thinking about his next move, trying to recall his previous actions, and guessing in his mind where the exit to the underwater passage of the ancient tomb was.

"So where can the exit of the underwater secret passage be hidden, why did I go around the ancient tomb and not find it? Could it be that this secret passage exit can still fly into the sky...... Wait, the exit of the underwater passage can't be at the bottom of the mountain, right? Since it is from the ancient tomb down, along the underground waterway, the water flows low, and the exit of this underwater secret passage is really not good, it is really possible that it is under the mountain! ”

The more Ling Muyun thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible, the tomb of the living dead was originally the place where Wang Chongyang hid the weapons of the righteous army, and the scale was extremely large, it was a large underground warehouse, and it was almost the same if the belly of the mountain was not emptied. Think about it, if the exit of the underwater passage is in the mountains, why does it take so long to dive out of it? It is very likely that this underground waterway leads directly to the bottom of the mountain, if this is the case, then he looked for the entrance to the underwater secret passage on the mountain before, and it makes sense if he can't find it.

After thinking about the reason, Ling Muyun made up his mind to go again, so he started to look for it at the bottom of the mountain first.

After thinking about it, Ling Muyun also relaxed, rested in the inn for another night, got up early the next morning and came out of the inn, avoided the eyes and ears of others and entered the mountain again, and began to look for it at the foot of the mountain. It took only half a day to find a cave at the foot of the mountain, and there was a small waterhole in the cave.

Ling Muyun was not sure that this was the entrance to the underwater secret passage of the ancient tomb, jumped into the water and dived to check it, and sure enough, he found a long underwater passage at the bottom of the pool.
