Chapter 61: The Tomb of the Living Dead
Feng Yu was apprehensive, thinking in his heart whether he should follow Ji Haoran and enter the mysterious and weird ancestral hall of the Ji family? It is completely opposite to the place where she is familiar with the Jingwang Mansion where the ancestors and ancestors are enshrined, it is not a magnificent and magnificent temple, but an ancestral hall dedicated to the ancestors of the family, and there will be servants to clean it on schedule.
On the contrary, this place is more like a mysterious tomb that does not want to be known, and the secret is hidden underground! Thinking of this, Fengyu couldn't help but shudder. The originally naturally strong curiosity has been instigating her there, bravely going in to find out.
But the girl's fear of the unknown made her wander for a while, and she couldn't help fantasizing about the scene inside, and slowly slowed down, eager to see if the scene inside was the same as she thought, and desperately hoped that this road would never have an end, and the tangled mood made her more and more panicked. No matter how long the road is, there will eventually come to an end.
Ji Haoran opened the heavy door, Feng Yu knew, stepping in, she knew if everything inside was the same as she thought, she stood still, did not move forward, did not retreat. She secretly glanced at Ji Haoran, and when she saw the eager and pleading gaze of the old man Ji, her psychological defense line was shocked by emotion, and she secretly screamed in her heart, it seems that if you don't enter, you have to enter, who called her a soft-hearted girl, forget it, she has to go forward hard!
"Hehe, you dolls, you like to fantasize, Miss Feng, don't be afraid, the scene inside is not as terrifying as you imagined." Ji Haoran said with a smile, his face full of warm smiles, which made Feng Yu feel a little at ease.
Ji Haoran, who has lived for countless years, has read countless people, how can the performance of a little girl like Fengyu just now escape his eyes? Everything appeared on his face, and at first glance she was the kind of girl who had just entered the cultivation realm, with a simple mind and a kind heart, which made him very happy, and he loved this little fairy with a complicated expression on her face.
Ji Haoran thought to himself, if the girl in front of him is a kind person and has a Tianlinggen physique, then it is not a bad thing for him to pass on all the secrets of the family to her, after all, in his generation, it is impossible to find a Tianlinggen in his own family, although Yang'er is smart, but he is not a Tianlinggen, and he has no chance to explore the secrets of his family.
In desperation, he could only pin his hopes on the person who was destined, but after years of waiting, he slowly lost his expectation, and he might meet a person with a fire attribute heavenly spirit root physique, which was as slim as looking for a needle in a haystack. And the arrival of Fengyu has added a new luster to his fading hope, how can this not make him happy?
"I'm not afraid, I just think there is something strange here, it doesn't look like someone else's ancestral hall, why should it be built underground? It looks very weird. Feng Yu clarified his doubts.
Ji Haoran replied, "To be exact, this is indeed not an ancestral hall, let me go in and have a look!" ”
With a solemn look on his face, he walked into the stone gate with a somewhat heavy pace, and Feng Yu also walked in after him.
Feng Yu couldn't help but be stunned by the scene in front of her, a vast hall inside, in the middle of which was burning a large group of Yuan Fire that Jiyang had given her, an extremely similar silver-white flame, without the slightest incendiary, it was burning out of thin air, it seemed extremely evil.
What shocked her even more was the dozens of male and female cultivators sitting around the flames, they formed a circle, crossed their knees around the silver flame, closed their eyes tightly, showing the posture of meditating and practicing, as if they hadn't woken up for a long time, but they were not lifeless like dead people, which made people not look very terrifying.
"Who are these cultivators?" Feng Yu asked Ji Haoran, who had been staring at a beautiful woman in surprise, and did not continue the following words.
"Oh, these are people from the Ji family." Ji Haoran put away his melancholy and replied softly, as if he was afraid of disturbing the cultivator who was sitting quietly.
"What? You say these are all Ji family members? What's wrong with them? What about retreats? Feng Yu asked three questions in succession.
"Sort of, but I'm afraid I'll never wake up from this retreat." Ji Haoran said.
"What the hell is going on, they can't wake up again, isn't it... Dead? Feng Yu said back, his voice was very low, as if he couldn't hear it.
"Ah, sort of, they're dead, so to speak." Ji Haoran said, his tone heavy and weak.
"Shibo, can you tell me? What are you asking me for? I don't believe that if it has nothing to do with this, you will bring people with you at will. Fengyu asked.
"Since I've let you see the secret things that even the Ji family rarely knows, then I'll tell you the family's secrets! It is said that my family has practiced fire attribute exercises for generations, and the ancestor used to be a person with a heavenly spirit root physique, and then he was about to ascend to the immortal realm, but for the longevity of the family, after the ancestor ascended, he took a lot of risks and left the fate fire brought back from the other world to the family, and did something against the sky. Ji Haoran said.
"Otherworldly? Against the sky? I don't know any of this! Feng Yu said suspiciously.
"The other world is in addition to the human world where we are, another space exists, and unlike here, the other world has spiritual power that is very suitable for the cultivation of people who cultivate the truth and countless cherished spiritual grasses, spirit stones, etc., it is the place that every cultivator yearns for, because the things there should not appear for us in the human world, so if you forcibly bring it in, you will be jealous of heaven, and then you will be punished by God." Ji Haoran explained.
"The wicked in the human world are in charge, the weak eat the strong, so many unfair things, God is not jealous, the ancestors left something for their own descendants, and they were pulled by jealousy! What an unfair heavenly principle this is! Feng Yu said angrily, although he knew what Ji Haoran said very well, but because of his righteous heart, he expressed his own opinions.
"The rules of the Heavenly Dao have their inevitable laws, and this is also the conclusion that countless generations of our people have summed up with the lessons of blood, and the price is very heavy! We know that people can't fight with heaven at all. Although the Ji family has been able to maintain its longevity in the past dynasties, there must be a person with outstanding fire attribute skills in each generation, and he has ended up in the fate you see now, just like this, sitting there quietly, never waking up, this is a cold tomb of the living dead. ”
Ji Haoran's resolute face showed infinite sorrow, thinking about his father, wife and other relatives who had fallen into eternal sleep in front of him, his heart was like a knife, dripping with blood. He looked at the beautiful woman again, she was still as peach-like as before, her skin was like clotted cream, as if she was asleep, beautiful and peaceful, but she looked a little sad, sitting in Ji Haoran's sight.
"The living dead? Are you saying that they are not completely dead, but alive? Feng Yu asked in surprise.
"Well, they just fell into a deep sleep forever, not really died, all of this depends on the fire in the middle to keep them from dying for a hundred years." Ji Haoran pointed to the mysterious silver flame in the middle.
"This is the same as what Senior Brother Jiyang once gave me, this little flame is the same!" Feng Yu took out the bottle containing the small silver flame from the Qiankun bag, compared the extremely similar colors of the two, and waited for Ji Haoran's reply.
"It's not exactly the same, but it's the same, what you have in your hand is the Yuanhuo that has been subdued by the predecessors of the Ji family, and it can be refined by the person who owns it and used it for your own use. But the group in the middle is the Origin Fire brought by the ancestors from the other world, and it has not been subdued at all, like a wild horse that cannot be controlled. Ji Haoran said.
"Then what can I do to help your Ji family? As long as I can do it, I will do it. Feng Yu said sincerely.
She has been an orphan since she was a child, and her desire for family affection is stronger than anyone else, and she is more able to experience the despair and pain of losing her loved ones, so she thinks that even if she makes a big sacrifice, as long as she can help the Ji family, then she will not refuse.
"Thank you so much Miss Feng, it's so rare that you can have such a compassionate heart, no matter what, I thank you on behalf of the family for giving us a hope." Ji Haoran said with a hint of excitement on his face, and his gratitude was overflowing.
"Then please show me what to do? I'm just a beginner in the cultivation realm, and I don't know anything about it, and I don't know if I can help the Ji family? Feng Yu said.
"Yang'er said that on the basis of never practicing any fire attribute exercises, you actually resonated with the Yuan Huo, which is an important sign of having a heavenly spirit root, and you can sense the existence of the fire element, once you cultivate the exercises passed down from your ancestors to your descendants, it is very likely to urge these origin Yuan Huo and awaken the Ji family again." Ji Haoran said a little excitedly, as if hope was beckoning to him right in front of him.
"But even the predecessors of the Ji family have subdued those silver flames, why don't you continue to subdue more, can't you help the people in the clan awaken and pull! Why are you looking for me, a lowly friar? Fengyu asked.
"Do you think this is going to be easy? It is already a rare thing for a mortal realm cultivator to be able to forcibly subdue a small cluster of otherworldly edge fire, let alone more, just take the wisp of edge fire in your hand as an example, it will only be obtained after hundreds of years of fire cultivation masters, cultivation and spiritual power cultivation in the body. Ji Haoran said with a light smile.
"Huh? Then, as you said, if I want to be able to cultivate the secret art of the Ji family, won't it take long? It seems that even if it is really a Heavenly Spirit Root, it is not something that can be achieved overnight. Feng Yu said with a helpless look on his face.
"Then it depends on you and the fire element, in addition to the innate fire cultivation qualifications, you can also have an affinity with it the day after tomorrow, if you have both, you can cultivate all the secret techniques in a short period of time, and it is not impossible to subdue the fate of fire." Ji Haoran explained.
"When I was a mortal, I had an indissoluble bond with fire, and I was a little girl who burned fire since I was a child, I don't know if this is a kind of cultivation?" Fengyu asked.
"Hehe, that can only increase the affinity between you and the fire element, and it will be easier to practice the fire attribute exercises, but the spiritual root is innate, and it can't be improved by the day after tomorrow. Everyone has different qualifications, and their ability to cultivate various attributes is also different, but the Heavenly Spirit Root is the most advanced qualification, which means that the cultivation of the exercises will be the fastest. And if you want to save the Ji family, you can only rely on the people of the Heavenly Spirit Root. Ji Haoran said.
"Then let's confirm whether I am a Heavenly Spirit Root! I hope I'm Tianlinggen, so I can help your Ji family. Feng Yu said
