In the dense jungle, there is a wide and straight stone path, and on both sides of the avenue, there are a pair of stone statues every few dozen steps. It's just that because of the age, many stone statues have been dilapidated, and their original appearance can no longer be seen. Judging from the specifications of the stone path, there is no doubt that it is a Shinto path of a mausoleum.

It's quiet, not even half a bird call, and there is an atmosphere of isolation and solemnity everywhere. The branches of the trees on both sides spread out, covering the Shinto path densely, and with the rotten branches and leaves in one place, it is difficult to see that there is still a road here.

Although I couldn't see the sun, I could tell that it was noon, and the light and shadow were shining down through the gaps between the branches and leaves, and the pillars of light filled the space, making it even more quiet. But after a while, a sound of "rustling" broke the silence.

As the sound got closer and closer, suddenly, a figure broke in, and before he could stand firmly, he suddenly slipped under his feet~ "Bang" and fell into a "big horse"! The person was still in a daze on the ground, and an insult popped out of his mouth: "It's really unlucky! I have to fall down when I walk, and this place is also slippery!"

The sound was like a torrent of thunder, and the sound of the forest echoed and the leaves fell in a row. As soon as the words fell, three more people came out of the forest, and one of them stepped forward to help the former and said, "Brother Zhang, don't be so anxious, otherwise you will only take everyone to drill into the forest alone, and you will only take everyone farther and farther......"

It was here that Master Zhang and Master You were passing by, and Jin Kui behind him shook his head helplessly, and stepped forward to signal everyone to continue their journey. And Master You, who was staring at the place where Tieren Zhang fell, hurriedly stopped everyone: "Slow!"

After such a call, everyone found out the clue: no matter how you look at it, this place looks like one of thousands of ordinary woodlands in the forest. If Master Zhang hadn't slipped and kicked away the rotten leaves, revealing the brick cracks underneath, they were afraid they would have to miss it again!

The four of them looked up and found that at the end of their line of sight, half of the carved beast body was faintly exposed, and almost at the same time they exclaimed: "Divine Dao!" Only Master Zhang blinked his eyes and said nervously: "Oh! Why did we come here by mistake? I'm afraid it's not good to go to the Divine Way so openly! If it is discovered by the forbidden army, how can you explain?!"

After hearing this, the other three all looked at the former with an idiot look, and Master Zhang reacted in vain, so he had to scratch the back of his head embarrassedly: cough~ Look at me, this Shinto looks like no one has been here for decades, it's a shame...... However, this sentence reminded Master Jin, and he only listened to his doubts and asked: "Everyone, you see~ Is it necessary for us to go in?"

In fact, it is impossible to say that the resting place of the legendary characters is not curious. Seeing the expressions of the other three, Master Jin shook his head helplessly and said, "We've come here, let's go and take a look......

According to the historical records: Xuanling is a large scale, occupies the entire dragon vein of Fengya Forest, including nine spiritual springs, with a radius of ten miles! There is a sacrificial platform outside the mausoleum, and the main shrine is the main shrine behind the sacrificial platform, and there are large-scale spiritual halls on both sides of the shrine. But there is no historical material that describes the underground palace of Xuanling in a few words, and no one knows where its tomb entrance is. Its Shinto Road extends from the sacrificial platform in front of the mausoleum to the south, all the way to the edge of the Fengya Forest, which is a full ninety-nine miles long!

The group of four had been wandering around the forest for a long time, and suddenly found Shinto, but they didn't know how far away from the main shrine was. If a place has been left untouched for decades, it will decay very quickly, and nature is devouring the ruins at a speed visible to the naked eye, if it weren't for a pair of faintly recognizable spirit beast stone carvings every few dozen steps, I'm afraid they would be lost again.

Fortunately, the Shinto paths are straight, but it is not difficult to identify, and the destination is not as far as they imagined, so they have traveled more than ten miles to the north, and their eyes suddenly open up!

Everyone was shocked by the scene in front of them: they saw that in front of them was an indescribably large square, and at the entrance of the square stood a pair of stone carvings of giant elephants as high as four or five zhang, which had been well preserved after hundreds of years of wind and rain, and in the middle of the square, a sacrificial platform was raised high. The altar is divided into eight sides, arranged in eight trigrams and heavenly and terrestrial branches, and each side has nine steps. The sacrificial platform can accommodate 20 or 30 people, and the entire square is even more incapable of accommodating tens of thousands of people! One can imagine what a grand occasion the scene of successive kings coming to worship will be!

Behind the sacrificial platform, there is a stone statue to ward off evil spirits, which is also huge. Going up the stairs behind the beast is the main shrine, which is a shrine where people of prestige live after death, and it is the only way to the heavenly realm. The shrine is built on a hill and varies in size depending on the merits of the owner during his lifetime. As far as the eye can see, the Divine Emperor's underworld is even bigger than the Yang Mansion of some princes and generals in the past! Not to mention the large-scale buildings on both sides of the main shrine!

Behind the main shrine is the mausoleum of the god emperor, the mausoleum is directly reclaimed in the mountain, and the whole mountain is a natural mound of sealed soil, and it is rumored that its scale is larger than the palace outside. It's just that due to the strict blockade of news at the beginning, and the historical materials have not described the internal situation in a single word, let alone the location of the tomb of the God Emperor, that is, the entrance of his tomb, I am afraid it will become an eternal mystery......

The mountain where the god emperor is buried is called "Crane Beidou"; don't look at its terrain is not steep or very high, but it is the head of the spiritual vein of the entire Shenya territory! If you take out the topographic map of Shenya, you will find that there is a "dragon" hidden in the middle of it, and the long thin knife ridge is its "dragon body"; and the dragon vein winds northward until the Qiandu River, and the whole dragon body lurks underground, but the mountain range is not broken, it extends from the underground to the Lingfeng Mouth, just like a protruding "dragon horn"; finally, the crane Beidou is the "dragon head" of the entire dragon vein.

The whole mountain of the Crane Beidou is in a high-spirited trend, the top of the mountain is just facing the position of the Big Dipper, the veins in the mountain are by the mountain and the water, accompanied by nine spiritual springs, it is really a rare good hole! The God Emperor can be buried here, and it is well deserved. Moreover, Du Xuan's deeds have been praised through the ages, and future generations have admired him, so his tomb is absolutely not the idea that anyone thinks or even dares to fight it. Coupled with the sacrifices of successive kings for hundreds of years, Xuanling can be said to be a continuous incense.

But the forbidden land of the royal family for thousands of years has been abandoned at this time, and when you look at this place, no one has been here for decades. As far as the eye can see, there are ruins and broken walls, and weeds and vines that reach above the knees. Although the Xuanling is very large, but the only well-preserved ones are the square, the stone carving group, and the main shrine, and the other houses are so incomplete that only one foundation remains, and the original appearance cannot be seen at all. There are still traces of fire and brute force destruction in many places, and it seems that this place must have experienced a catastrophe.

The four of them lingered for a while, and found that it was really difficult to move in this ruin, and as far as they could see, only the main shrine could go in and see. But when he walked to the door, he saw that it was ventilated on all sides, the beams were crumbling, and the cobwebs were dense, and he knew that there must be no one here, so he dispelled the idea of going in to take a look.

In the end, Master Jin shook his head and said: "Ahem~ Everyone, there is nothing to see here, it is estimated that there was a war here decades ago, and everything that can be destroyed has been destroyed." I think we'd better go back first, this trip is in vain......"

After listening to his words, everyone couldn't help sighing, but everyone had a faint feeling of relief: they had come all the way to Fengya Forest, and the closer they got to their destination, the tighter the nerve in their hearts became. The scene before the water dragon surge is still fresh in my memory, and they were able to escape, but it was actually due to luck. If you encounter any situation in this inaccessible deep mountain, plus it is such a place...... It's terrifying to think about!

Just when everyone was about to go home, Master Zhang, who had a loud voice, tilted his head, as if he had discovered something terrible, and hurriedly exclaimed: "Hey, big guy, I seem to have seen a woman?!

When everyone heard this, they quickly turned their heads away, and as far as their eyes could see, where was there still half a figure? They all turned their heads to look at the former with a serious face, Master Jin shook his hand in front of his eyes, and quipped: "I said Lao Zhang, don't be so startled, how can there be a woman in this kind of place? I think you want women to go crazy, right?"

Seeing that the other three didn't believe it, Master Zhang immediately stared at him, couldn't help but say, and directly pushed away everyone and rushed over there. The rest of the people couldn't do it, so they had to follow......

This seems to be close, but in fact it is quite far away, and everyone has been running for nearly two miles on the uneven ruins, walking and walking, and they all feel more and more wrong.

When we got here, we were close to the bottom of the mountain, and although the houses around us were still dilapidated, the ground in the vicinity was completely different: not only were there no weeds, the rubble on the ground had been flattened, and even the layout seemed to have been intentional. Everyone looked straight ahead, and found that there was an intact building here, not even the plaque of the "Meritorious Workshop" was not damaged in the slightest, and compared to the surrounding ruins, it looked a little out of place.

"This is strange, this place should be decaying, why do we look like it is often inhabited!?" Master Jin muttered to himself as he looked at the tall plaque. The so-called "merit workshop" can be said to be related to the owner of this tomb, or it can be said that it has nothing to do with it. From the beginning of the reclamation of the mountain cliff and the construction of the tomb, to the formation of the outer building complex, and then to the later kings and pilgrims who contributed money and efforts to repair, as long as they have made a contribution, they will leave a great name in this merit workshop.

Master Zhang glanced around, and finally said to the other three: "I did see a person here from a distance just now, and then he went in, if you don't believe it, let's go in and have a look?"

Master Jin also withdrew his gaze, stared straight at the door of this building, and replied: "Look at the situation, there may really be someone hidden inside! As for what kind of sacredness it is, let's go in and take a look! But this merit workshop is well preserved, the doors and windows are tightly closed, and there is something strange, so we will rush in so rashly, for fear of being ambushed, everyone be careful!"

The four of them surrounded the gate in a cornerway, and Master Jin stepped forward and knocked on it, but there was no response for a while. In the end, everyone glanced at each other, and they all took out their weapons in unison, the former paused, stepped back two parts, and suddenly a strong kick!

"Bang!" the door opened, surprisingly, the door was not locked, as the door slowly opened, everyone cautiously scanned for a while, but was surprised to find that there was no one in the room. The four of them went back to back and found that the room was not as dark as they imagined, and all the furnishings were in full view.

In fact, there was nothing in this room, and the first thing that caught my eye was the rows of inscriptions against the wall facing the gate. The stele is carved in stone and wooden, and it is very well preserved, and the handwriting on it is vaguely recognizable, but it is basically covered with cobwebs and dust, and it looks like it has not been cleaned for a long time. In the northwest corner of the left-hand side of the entrance, there are several broken clay pots, but there is nothing else in the lobby of Nuoda.

But what struck them was that everywhere else was dusty, but the floor was spotless, and it was clear that there were often "people" here. Master Jin glanced at Master Zhang and asked, "Old Zhang, are you sure you saw someone coming in?"

When the latter heard this, his head nodded like pounding garlic, indicating that it was indeed true. "This is strange, the place is so big, so where did she go?" the former muttered to himself, but the corner of his eye inadvertently glanced at the waists of the others, and suddenly exclaimed: "Lao You!

When everyone heard this, they quickly picked up the mirror and took a look, but the four mirrors were emitting a faint silver light at the same time, which was very weird! No need to guess, there must be corpses around here, and they must be hiding in a place they don't know, secretly observing them!

Just thinking about it, Leng Buding is a yin and yang strange voice came in from outside the door: "I said fellow Daoists, how long do you have to watch inside?" couldn't help but say, he immediately rushed out of the gate and lined up, all looking at a "figure" standing faintly in front of him, concentrating on vigilance.

I saw a figure standing in front of me, a middle-aged man. Looking at his well-dressed and burly body, the murderous aura in his eyes came to his face, which faintly made people feel a little breathless. The most special thing is that "his" hair and beard are fiery red, windless, and look like a flame is burning!

The other party only looked at the group of four people lightly, as if he didn't pay attention to them at all, Master Jin was a little hairy in his heart, so he couldn't help but shout: "Who are you?

The former, on the other hand, did not answer his question, but asked rhetorically: "It doesn't matter who I am, the question is: You have come all the way here, and you do not hesitate to sneak through the defense line and pass through the water dragons, you are bold enough! Tell the truth, this king has left you all dead!"

The expressions of the four of them froze when they heard this, and from the analysis of "his" words, this guy seemed to know their whereabouts well. But they think they are careful enough, why would they leak their whereabouts? Also, the other party calls himself "this king", is it~ Master Jin stared at its eyes tightly, and blurted out in an uncertain tone: "Could it be~ You are 'Huojun'?!!"
