Volume 1 The Sword Falls into the Red Dust Chapter 11 Descending to the Grave
Pain spread around Hou Changshan's body.
Every breath he breathed in seemed to remind him that he was still alive, but it was basically half dead.
Finally, after repeated struggles, Hou Changshan fully regained consciousness deep in the sand.
He endured the severe pain around his body, and struggled to use his almost exhausted spiritual power, so that he could dig a hole between the sand and stones.
Hou Changshan, who successfully drilled out, greedily breathed the dry but still clear air and aura on the desert, no matter how you say it, it is better than burying it in the ground.
Hou Changshan looked around and found that the surroundings had already been destroyed by the explosion into a flat ground, and it was difficult to find a slightly higher sand dune as far as the eye could see.
"It's really lucky to survive!"
Hou Changshan was afraid for a while, if it weren't for the spiritual power of everyone gathered before, and the spirit shield brought out by the family was stimulated to the extreme, barely approaching the level of a Divine Realization Realm cultivator, then all of them would probably be crushed into powder by the impact of the explosion.
However, Hou Changshan couldn't feel the fluctuations of other people's spiritual power at this time, according to common sense, he was the one who stood at the forefront, and his injuries should be the most serious.
It's just that Zhang Zhongwu and Xiao Heli's realm is a lot lower than everyone else, and it is very likely that they will be extremely injured in this impact.
Hou Changshan must first stabilize his injuries before he can better find others.
After a while, Hou Changshan felt that his breath had finally smoothed out, and the injuries around him had improved slightly.
Fortunately, during the period when Hou Changshan was recovering from meditation, everyone else was gradually sobering up, and Hou Changshan's divine thoughts were released, and within a moment, Pugong and Zhang Zhongwu had been found.
Both of them are in good condition, and it seems that Zhang Zhongwu's injuries are very light, so he should be standing a little closer to the middle of the people, and the spiritual power of the others has borne the impact for him.
Later, from between the sand and stones, Xiao Heli and Mo Ling were found one after another, although the injuries were of varying severity, but they were generally not serious.
The next thing is that Fu Yao and Huang Qinye are still nowhere to be found.
"These two people are not weaker than me, so they shouldn't be so easy to get into trouble, right?"
Hou Changshan said silently in his heart, he had been searching in the vicinity for more than half an hour, and he had not found Fu Yao and Huang Qinye so far, so he couldn't help but be a little anxious.
It is said that Hou Changshan is a little young, although he is not really sixteen or seventeen years old as he seems, but the actual cultivation is indeed only a few decades, and after years of cultivation in the mountains, his heart is still simple.
Therefore, even if he is not familiar with Fu Yao and the others, after a few days, Hou Changshan will still worry about their safety.
Just when Hou Changshan was anxious, Pugong flew from a distance, and before he could reach the front, he shouted loudly: "Gongzi is at ease, Fu Gongzi and Huang Xianzi have already woken up and recovered, and they are waiting for us to go over together at the ruins of the ancient tomb of Lao Zhenren." ”
When Hou Changshan heard this, he unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, then nodded, replied, "That's good", and then called everyone together and walked towards the ruins.
Walking to the edge of the ruins, sure enough, Fu Yao and Huang Qinye stood side by side, standing at a location where there was probably originally a sand dune, quietly waiting for them to pass.
"It seems that all of you are people with profound blessings, so it's okay if you're all right!"
When everyone got closer, Fu Yao said with a smile, on the surface, he was unscathed.
Huang Qinye, who was standing beside him, listened to him and seemed to feel that it was inappropriate, but her face only changed slightly, and from her pale complexion, she could probably guess that this woman should be worse than Fu Yao, but there were no obvious scars on her body.
"The strength of these two people is so profound?"
Hou Changshan was shocked in his heart, but for now, he only had to hide deep in his heart, but he couldn't help but be a little more defensive about these two people.
After a few pleasantries, everyone did not say any more politeness, but walked towards the original ruins together.
The further they went, the more obvious a cold and dilapidated aura became, until in front of the ruins, everyone felt a little unbearable if they didn't use their spiritual power.
And Hou Changshan, who saw the true appearance of the real mausoleum under the ruins for the first time, couldn't help but exclaim.
Such a pitch-black mountain peak hanging upside down in the ground, how could it not shock this group of monks who had only cultivated for tens or hundreds of years.
Huang Qinye, who has always been silent, also said at this time: "Lao Xiao Zhenren is worthy of hearing the Tao overhaul, such a handwriting is really admirable." ”
After a burst of sighs and boasting, under the reminder of Pu Gong, Hou Changshan stood up and said that since the mausoleum has appeared, in order to avoid long nights and dreams, if other monks are attracted because of the previous differences, it will be worth the loss.
Therefore, after some discussion, the seven of them decided to take a short rest, and immediately went down to the upside-down black mountain, which is the mausoleum of Lao Wei Zhenren.
A quarter of an hour later, this group of seven people, looking at each other, were all full of confidence, Hou Changshan saw this, no longer hesitated, still took the lead, took everyone, and went to the underground palace.
Since the mausoleum of Lao Wei Zhenren is an upside-down hanging stone mountain, it is naturally wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, with a flat top and a sharp tail.
Against the gloomy wind emanating from the mausoleum, everyone landed on a large stone platform on the top floor.
They had already explored the ruins carefully, and although they could not see the whole picture of the lower part of the peak, they could still see the topmost terrain more clearly.
This square stone platform, in the strange rocky mountain, is particularly prominent.
On the stone platform, there are the same strange runes on the previous spiritual wall, and there are several cyan stone tablets with a height of several feet in the center, which makes everyone curious.
A group of seven people, after carefully landing on the ground, followed suit, for fear that there would be some mechanism on the road.
However, when I approached from the vicinity of the stele, nothing unusual occurred.
Look at the eight stone tablets arranged in a patchwork manner, seven of which are engraved with hundreds of words of ancient scriptures.
Zhang Zhongwu and Xiao Heli recognized at a glance that this was an ancient character that had been circulated in the previous Huiyuan, and it was generally used for the arrangement of formations related to the stars, but some people would use it to write notes.
Zhang and Xiao's teachers, because they often study astrological academics, happen to know something about this kind of ancient characters.
Thinking that the layout of the ruins before was also arranged according to the astrological signs, everyone couldn't help but wonder, could it be that this Lao Zhen Zhen was still a monk who was famous for his astrological formations?
However, according to Fu Yao, the legacy of the Nightmare Gate in Fengchuan Prefecture, and the current Nightmare Peak lineage, has no Taoism in this regard, and there are not even some book rumors.
Suddenly, Xiao Heli exclaimed, although the voice was not loud, but everyone's attention was still attracted to it.
Fu Yao and Hou Changshan asked "what did you find" one after another, Xiao Heli frowned, not knowing how to answer.
Zhang Zhongwu replied: "On these stone tablets, it is actually our two-day itinerary, which is so strange, even where we started, where we stopped, and what we did around the ruins in the end, it is clearly written." ”
After speaking, Zhang Zhongwu stopped talking, but retreated to the rear with Xiao Heli, his eyes full of horror.
"Isn't there a way to enter the mausoleum?"
Hou Changshan asked.
Zhang Zhongwu checked a few more stone tablets and shook his head silently.
Everyone looked at each other speechlessly, not knowing what to do, and suddenly Hou Changshan felt that something was wrong, since the information of the seven of them had it, then, why are there eight stone tablets here?
As he thought, he expressed his doubts to the crowd.
As soon as these words came out, everyone felt a chill behind them, and their faces changed greatly, could it be that there was an invisible person who had been following them all the time?
Several people probed left and right, trying to find out where the eighth person was, but only Mo Ling, suddenly lost his mind, and walked to the eighth stone tablet without words in a daze, and read words with a strange tone in his mouth, but he was planted headlong into the stone slab, as if sinking into deep water, and there was no trace.
The remaining six people were even more surprised when they saw this scene.
Later, after exchanging a few words with Xiao Heli in a low voice, Zhang Zhongwu said to the others: "What Mo Ling read out just now is the content on the stone tablet with her name, and it is possible that the way to enter is to read out the words on their own stone tablet, and then they can enter the mausoleum through this eighth stone tablet." ”
After speaking, several people discussed, and Zhang and Xiao passed the pronunciation of the slate text to everyone, and with the strong memorization ability of the cultivator, they insisted on memorizing the pronunciation.
After that, Fu Yao, who was the most courageous, took the lead in reading out the words, like a bell, and sank into the stone slab.
Later, Huang Qinye, Xiao Heli and Zhang Zhongwu also entered the stone slab one after another.
Hou Changshan and Pu Gong stayed at the end, and Pu Gong said that he wanted to take care of Hou Changshan, so let Hou Changshan go first.
Hou Changshan didn't think much about it, and then drew a scoop according to the gourd and decisively drilled into the stone slab.
After a strange look of whirling the sky, Hou Changshan felt as if he had been falling in the air for a long time, and finally fell heavily to the ground, but there was no trace of injury on his body, only a slight dizziness.
Hou Changshan stabilized his mind and stood up again, but he was deeply shocked by the scene in front of him.
