Zhongnan Mountain, also known as Taiyi Mountain, Dilung Mountain, Zhongnan Mountain, Zhounan Mountain, referred to as Nanshan, is located in Shaanxi Province and is a section of the Qinling Mountains. Its terrain is dangerous, the road is rugged, there are five large valleys, more than 100 small valleys, and hundreds of miles in a row. "Zuo Biography" said that "the danger of Central and South Kyushu", and Dongfang Shuo also said: "Nanshan, the obstacle of the world." ”

Zhongnan Mountain has been one of the birthplaces of Taoism since ancient times, and is known as the "immortal capital", "the crown of the cave sky" and "the first blessed land in the world". Legend has it that Guan Yinzi, the real person of Wenshi, met Lao Tzu in the West Hangu when he was building a building in the Zhongnan Mountains, and passed down 5,000 words of morality. Subsequently, Qin Shi Huang once built a temple to worship Lao Tzu in the south of Guan Yinzi Louguan, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty built Lao Tzu Temple in Taipei. During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the famous roads in the north gathered in Louguan, increased the temple, and created the Louguan Taoist school.

Decades ago, after Wang Chongyang, the world's number one master, created the Quanzhen faction on Zhongnan Mountain, the reputation of Zhongnan Mountain resounded in the universe. So far, Zhongnan Mountain is not only a holy place in the hearts of cultivators in the world, but also has a very high status in the hearts of people who practice martial arts in the world.

At the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, a young man in his early twenties was looking at the mountain in front of him with some emotion, and this person was Wang Ji.

At this time, more than half a month has passed since the First World War in China. After the battle that day, Wang Ji left Zhongdu directly and rushed to Zhongnan Mountain.

The purpose of his coming to Zhongnanshan is self-evident, that is, to take advantage of the death of Ma Yu and Wang Chu, and the chaos within the Quanzhen Sect to expand the results of the battle, and then kill a few more Quanzhen Seven Sons, it is best to destroy the remaining five sons in one fell swoop and directly complete the task.

Although Wang Ji was determined to destroy the seven sons of Quanzhen, he did not go directly to Chongyang Palace. Instead, they began to look for another place on Jungnam Mountain, the Tomb of the Living Dead!

The reason why Wang Ji wanted to find the tomb of the living dead was because on the way to Zhongnan Mountain, Wang Ji made an unexpected discovery. That is, in addition to gaining strength through hunting, he can also increase his strength through cultivation just like ordinary people.

It is said that after Wang Ji killed Mei Chaofeng, he obtained the kung fu on the lower volume of the Nine Yin True Scriptures such as the Nine Yin White Bone Claw and the Heart Destroying Palm cultivated by Mei Chaofeng. And Mei Chaofeng didn't know the secret of rooting and practicing internal skills in the first volume of the Nine Yin True Scriptures, and she didn't know the martial arts of her family, so the kung fu on the lower volume of the Nine Yin True Scriptures was practiced by her in a mess, and she completely went astray.

When a slayer acquires martial arts skills, what he has practiced is what he has obtained from the original owner. Therefore, the martial arts on the Nine Yin True Scripture obtained by Wang Wei are also full of fallacies. Fortunately, although Wang Wei didn't know the secret of taking root and practicing internal skills in the first volume of the Nine Yin True Scriptures, after killing Ma Yu and Wang Chuyi, he had obtained the true transmission of Taoist internal skills, but he would not be completely incomprehensible to the content of the True Scriptures like Mei Chaofeng. So along the way, Wang Ji corrected the obvious mistakes and omissions in the martial arts obtained from Mei Chaofeng.

Because the martial arts on the Nine Yin True Scripture follow the most authentic Taoist martial arts path from the inside out, even if the records in the next volume are some external martial arts techniques to defeat the enemy, it also involves some content of true qi handling. Therefore, Wang Ji's process of correcting the fallacy of Mei Chaofeng's martial arts can barely be regarded as a process of cultivating internal strength.

And after half a month of martial arts combing, Wang Ji accidentally found that his internal strength had increased slightly. This was originally a very ordinary thing, but it gave Wang Ji a lot of inspiration. Because of the magical nature of the killer, Wang Ji had always relied on killing to gain strength before, so he had never thought about his own cultivation.

It is true that no matter what kind of cultivation can be achieved in a short period of time, the speed at which it can gain power is not comparable to direct plunder through killing. But gaining power only through killing is actually a certain drawback.

Not to mention that power is only gained through killing, without the various experiences in the cultivation process, the growth of the spiritual realm will not be able to keep up with the growth of strength.

To put it simply, under the suppression of the rules of different worlds, Wang Ji's strength is generally weaker than that of the aborigines at the beginning. Relying only on killing to gain power, in most cases, means that if Wang Ji wants to complete the task, he must constantly find ways to defeat the strong with the weak. In this way, not only is the success rate not high, but also very risky. But if you can gain strength through cultivation, you can first cultivate to a certain level before challenging the goal. Even if you still can't change the situation of being weak and strong, you can close the gap with the other party.

As for the problem of gaining strength too slowly through cultivation, it can be solved by killing a weak target first, gaining a certain strength base, and then cultivating. As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning, and the same is true for cultivation. Regardless of the kind of practice, the first step is always the one that gets stuck with the most people.

After Wang Ji realized that he could increase his strength through cultivation like the aborigines, he couldn't help but think of finding some divine skills to cultivate. At this time, he happened to come to Zhongnan Mountain, so he naturally thought of the Chongyang inscription in the tomb of the living dead.

This Chongyang inscription was left by Wang Chongyang to win the battle with Lin Chaoying, and what was left on it was only a small part of the Nine Yin True Scripture. But just this small part of the Nine Yin True Scripture has already broken through the ancient tomb sect martial arts left by Lin Chaoying. It can be seen that even if it is only a small part of the Nine Yin True Scripture, it can be regarded as the world's most powerful art in the world. But that's not all the reason why Wang Ji wants to get Chongyang's relics.

Wang Ji had already obtained the second half of the Nine Yin True Scripture from Mei Chaofeng, but he did not have the kung fu to take root in the first half of the volume. This made him unable to cultivate the Treasure Sutra without it. Although he relied on the Taoist internal strength foundation of the Quanzhen Sect, he would not be completely unable to understand the content of the scriptures, but the Nine Yin True Scripture was not the martial arts of the Quanzhen Sect after all. Although both are Taoist martial arts, the subtleties are still different. To fully understand the exercises of the Nine Yin True Scripture according to the essence of the Quanzhen martial arts, there will still be deviations after all.

And Wang Chongyang, in order to let people know that what he left in the ancient tomb is a kung fu that can indeed make people practice, he will definitely leave the most basic and rooted part of the scriptures.

Once he has obtained this root-based part, Wang Ji's cultivation of the various exercises in the second volume of the Nine Yin True Scripture will no longer be hindered. Therefore, for Wang Wei, the Chongyang posthumous inscription is not just as simple as the Chongyang posthumous inscription.

If you want to get the Chongyang inscription, you must first enter the ancient tomb, and there are two ways to enter the ancient tomb. The first is to enter through the main entrance of the ancient tomb, but the ancient tomb is full of hidden passages, Wang Ji does not know anything about the art of Qimen organs, and with the temperament of the owner of the ancient tomb, he will never let Wang Ji walk freely in the tomb. So although this road is easy to find, it is actually impassable.

Therefore, if Wang Ji wants to enter the ancient tomb, he has to take the second road, that is, the secret road that is located under the mausoleum and leads directly to the underground dark river. When Wang Chongyang gave the tomb of the living dead to Lin Chaoying, he did not tell Lin Chaoying about this secret passage for the sake of face, so the people of the ancient tomb sect never knew about the existence of this secret passage, so they did not take any precautions in this secret passage. According to the records in the book, this secret passage leads directly to the secret room where the Chongyang remains are kept, and there is no mechanism on the way. Although the entrance to this secret passage is very hidden and not easy to find, for Wang Ji, who has already read the description of this secret passage in the original book, it can always be found with some effort.

So Wang Ji explored around Zhongnan Mountain.

After another half a month, combined with the inquiries of the residents around Zhongnan Mountain, Wang Jian finally found a place at the foot of the mountain that was very consistent with the description in the book.

It was a very remote place, with a hidden cave in the shade of the trees, and a stream flowed from the cave.

When Wang Yi was trained as a killer, in order to be able to perform tasks in various environments, he also learned to swim, and his water resistance was not weak.

Wang Jian saw that the water in the stream was not very turbulent, so he immediately swam into the water. After swimming about a pillar of incense in the water, Wang Wei felt that the water was becoming more and more urgent, and the terrain was getting lower, as if he had entered an underground current. The sound of the water that I only heard in my ears was roaring, and although it was an underground undercurrent, the momentum was still amazing. Wang Ji was in it, but he felt that the resistance to move forward was getting bigger and bigger, if it weren't for Wang Chuyi's strength and strength, I was afraid that he would not be able to move forward at all.

Wang Wei struggled forward in the undercurrent at the bottom of the stream. The underground channels are sometimes wide and sometimes narrow, and the current is also rapid and slow, sometimes the depth of the water is not topped, and sometimes it is only waist-deep. After about a meal, the water slowed down, the terrain gradually increased, and the water on the road was at the same level as the chest, from the belly to the legs. The more you walk, the lower the water gets, and gradually it only reaches the ankle.

After a little further walking, the humidity gradually lightened, but the road became strangely steep, and it was straight up. Wang Ji carried the light skill "Golden Goose Gong", which is famous all over the world, and climbed up on the stone wall as if he were walking on the ground. After about half an hour of ascent, the road gradually flattened and the feet gradually dried. After walking for a while, a stone gate appeared in front of him. Wang Jian pushed open the stone door and walked in, only to see that it was an ordinary stone room inside.

Wang Ji took out the fire fold and shook it in the wind to ignite it. By the light of the fire, he looked up at the roof of the room. But I saw that the roof of the room was densely filled with handwriting symbols, and there were four big characters written on the far right: "Nine Yin True Scripture".

Wang Jian was overjoyed, knowing that he had found the right place, so he hurriedly took out the paper and charcoal prepared in advance from the oilcloth bag he carried with him, and copied the scriptures on the roof of the room by the light of the fire. About an hour later, Wang Ji finished copying all the scriptures, and he wrapped the copied scriptures layer by layer with a tarpaulin, and confirmed that there would never be water, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

Wang Ji wrapped the layers of oilcloth in his arms and carried it, and looked up at the scriptures on it again. Just now he was patronizing and copying, and he only had a rough idea of the content of the scriptures, and at this moment he had the time to carefully comprehend the contents of the scriptures.

As Wang Ji expected, Wang Chongyang left behind the most basic rooted foundation part of the first volume of the canon. Although Wang Ji could not fully comprehend it all at once due to the obscurity of the true scriptures, even if it was only a small part of the comprehension, Wang Ji benefited a lot. Some of the barriers that I couldn't understand when I read the content of the next volume before suddenly became clear.

Wang Jian read it in fascination, until he found that the content on it had begun to coincide with the content recorded on the human skin he had obtained from Mei Chaofeng, and he stopped reading it.
