Chapter 21: The Events of Fifty Years Ago
Han Xiaofeng looked intently at the words on the paper, cold sweat flowed frequently, and when he finished reading the letter left by Mu Bing, he completely understood the cause of the earth-shattering accident more than fifty years ago.
Everyone in the world has desires, mortals chase fame and money, and cultivators chase immortals, but thousands of years ago, the immortal road was inexplicably broken, and the cultivators retreated to the second, and began to pursue immortality while searching for the cause of the immortal road break.
More than 50 years ago, a group of monks accidentally found an ancient tomb in Changbai Mountain, after careful research, accidentally found that it was the tomb of Xu Fu during the Qin period, ancient records record that Xu Fu was looking for the elixir of immortality for Qin Shi Huang, traveled all over the north and south of the river, visited the famous mountains, and even crossed to the east, but did not find the elixir of longevity.
However, the ancient text is wrong, the cultivators all know that Xu Fu had found the elixir of immortality back then, but after he found it, he did not return to the Qin State, but ate it himself, and after getting immortality, he began to concentrate on cultivation, as for Xu Fu's final takeover, it is a matter of opinion, some people say that he died under the catastrophe, and some people say that he has become an immortal, however, no matter what it is, the mausoleum in Changbai Mountain is indeed the tomb of Xu Fu, and it is very likely that there is an elixir of immortality in the tomb.
When they found Xu Fu's tomb, all the cultivators were extremely excited, they broke through the layers of the tomb, and finally came to the main tomb, but to their disappointment, the main tomb was empty, except for a small tree, there was nothing in the tomb.
The monks who went through a lot of hardships to reach the main burial chamber, now they found nothing, of course they were not reconciled, they scattered and carefully searched in the main burial chamber, after everyone dispersed, three monks walked to the small tree, there is no light and no water in the burial chamber, how can there be trees growing, this makes the three monks very strange, they carefully studied this small tree, and found that the leaves on the tree actually flashed with golden light, the three monks immediately felt that this tree was extraordinary, but this small tree was a little strange except for the leaves, The rest was gone, and the tree did not bear fruit.
The three cultivators studied carefully for a long time, and did not see anything, just when they gave up, one of the cultivators suddenly found that there were three pieces of ancient jade under the tree, and these three pieces of ancient jade formed a formation to wrap the small tree in it, the cultivator was overjoyed when he saw this, and together with the other two, the three of them joined forces to break the formation, after the formation was broken, the small tree suddenly emitted a strange light, after the light, the small tree took on a new look, the trunk exuded fairy energy, all the leaves turned golden, exuding golden light, at this time the small tree, The immortal aura on his body was full of golden light, like an immortal tree, and what shocked the cultivators even more was that there were four fruits on the immortal tree.
The fruit looked like a baby, fragrant, exuding bursts of fairy energy, and the body was even more golden, after seeing all the faces of the fruit, the three monks were stunned, and the name of the fruit appeared in their minds at the same time, ginseng fruit! Ginseng fruit, also known as longevity fruit, mortals eat it to live long year after year, cultivators can live forever after eating, and ghosts eat it, without reincarnation, you can be a human again.
The three cultivators looked at the ginseng fruit, their hearts were extremely excited, their desire burned to the extreme in an instant, their eyes were like spitting fire, the fairy tree had four ginseng fruits, but only three were fully ripe, and the other one was still growing, the three cultivators picked the ginseng fruit almost at the same time, and just after they picked it in their hands, the remaining six monks also found the ginseng fruit, so a big battle began.
The battle was earth-shattering, very tragic, in the end, only one of the nine people survived, in the fight three ginseng fruits, two were damaged, the only survivor ate the last ginseng fruit, obtained immortality, when he left the tomb, set up a spirit array to seal the tomb, and then left.
The survivor thought that this was the end of everything, but he never expected that this was just the beginning of a nightmare, the eight people who died tragically in the ancient tomb, because they were cultivators, their souls were trapped in the ancient tomb after death, nourished by the fairy tree, and in just a few months, they turned into ghost kings, and the eight ghost kings broke the seal of the survivors and came to the world. After the survivors learned, they immediately summoned all the cultivators in the world to start a life-and-death duel with the eight ghost kings, this earth-shattering battle, fought for three days and three nights in Changbai Mountain, and finally the cultivators paid a heavy price, killing seven of the ghost kings, and the other most powerful ghost king, was sealed by the three Qingdao Dao, the Spirit Array Gate, and the Maoshan faction with the magic weapon of the town gate.
The war ended, and the Taoists all over the world were greatly injured in this war, and what they didn't expect was that the eight ghost kings did not hesitate to spare the lives of their descendants, and took their lives as a guide to arrange the anti-heaven gossip devouring array, and the big array was launched, causing more than 3,000 people to die in Baishan City.
But what no one expected was that more than fifty years later, the sealed ghost king broke a gap from the seal, and his resentment broke out of the seal, turned into a ghost king clone, and began to arrange the anti-heaven gossip and soul devouring array again, if you want to save all beings, you must gather the three Taoist sects and seal the ghost king again.
This is the end of the letter, after Han Xiaofeng read the letter, many things are understood, how the tragedy happened fifty years ago, and why it is repeated now, he doesn't understand, and Mu Bing's mysterious identity can also be explained, that Mu Bing is the original survivor, so that the mystery of his bizarre age can be explained, and his strength can also be explained.
However, what puzzled Han Xiaofeng, why didn't Mu Bing tell him the method of sealing the ghost king, and the three doors could gather together? I guess I need something else! What does the ancient jade he left behind mean? The letter said that there were three pieces of ancient jade, why is there only one piece now, where is the rest of the ancient jade? Also, the letter only mentions the three ginseng fruits, where is the one that is not ripe? When they entered the burial chamber, they found no ginseng fruit on the small tree.
Han Xiaofeng felt that there were still many things, Mu Bing didn't tell himself, the next time he met him, he must ask clearly, just when Han Xiaofeng was thinking, the phone rang, he answered the phone, and an anxious voice came from the other end, "Han Xiaofeng, where are you?" The vice-captain is injured! "What?"
