Chapter 30: Bones on the Mountaintop

The top of the mountain is very cold, in the center of the mountaintop, the fog is shrouded, and there seems to be a cave in the middle of the thick fog, and the dense fog will disperse and gather again, and the whole mountain top is like a fairyland.

"No wonder those people chose such a place to put turtle talismans, this place is simply a good place for natural immortal cultivation, full of spiritual energy, cultivating in this kind of place, three or four years a year. Chen Dongyang used the technique of gathering qi to his heart's content, frantically absorbing the aura of heaven and earth.

When I went up the mountain, because it was too fast, the aura in my body was consumed very much, and I was able to replenish the aura in the dantian.

At this time, it was almost dawn, the dense fog happened to be very large, although the purple qi cultivation could see at night, but it could not penetrate the dense fog, there was no way, Chen Dongyang could only take out a flashlight to illuminate, but the flashlight could not shine far, but it was much better than being blind.

At this time, Chen Dongyang finally began to be able to see the situation on the top of the mountain, there were remnants of corpses lying everywhere on the mountaintop mountain, and a corpse could be seen every ten steps away, all of these people had become white bones, and some of the bones were covered with broken Taoist robes.

This kind of robe is not like the orthodox robe worn by Chen Dongyang's master, but a robe with another characteristic.

Their robes also have Yin and Yang Taiji charms on their chests, but they also have the pattern of the Big Dipper on their clothes, which makes Chen Dongyang very puzzled, in his mind, there is no sect in the Taoist sect that wears a Taoist robe with the pattern of the Big Dipper.

Unless these Taoist priests are from the sect after the Northern and Southern Dynasties, if you think about it carefully, it will be clear that these people came hundreds of years ago according to what the Baimei Taoist said, but at that time, Chen Bomao had already died in his previous life for thousands of years.

As for the sect, he can only slowly look for clues to see if he can find them, in addition to the bones, Chen Dongyang also found some packaging bags, all of which are some bread and instant noodles and the like, as well as fruit peels, it is obvious that these things were left by Li Zimu and his party.

Chen Dongyang began to continue searching, he looked at each corpse very carefully, and after looking at each corpse, he found a common denominator, that is, these Taoist priests died of internal injuries.

Because there were no signs of damage on the bones of each of them, it was clear that the death had been caused by severe internal injuries, and if there were external injuries, the marks on the bones would have been easily found.

Why did all these people collectively die of internal injuries? This made Chen Dongyang very puzzled.

After checking all the bones outside the cave, half an hour had passed, and at this time, Chen Dongyang also saw the monkey.

It took a lot of effort for the monkey to finally climb to the top of the mountain, and he panted and said to Chen Dongyang: "Ouch me, but I'm tired, my aura is exhausted, Lao Chen, you quickly lend me some aura and let me slow down." ”

A cultivator has an aura in his body, and he usually doesn't feel tired, but if the aura is exhausted, once he is the kind of person who doesn't exercise all year round, his body's skills will immediately feel exhausted after losing his aura to protect his body, and this is the situation in front of the monkey's eyes.

"You don't need to borrow it, the aura on the top of this mountain is very full, you hurry up and use the qi gathering technique, and your aura will be full in less than half an hour." ”

When the monkey heard this, he used the qi gathering technique, and sure enough, he found that the aura in his body was rapidly converging at an incredible speed.

"I'm grass, this is a good place, Lao Chen, I'm going to live here for a year and a half, and I'll be able to go purple soon." ”

Chen Dongyang nodded: "Well, if nothing else, we will be able to enter purple in a year, but at the moment we don't have time, we have to do the right thing, I will find a way to do your cultivation later." ”

As soon as the monkey heard this, his mood that had been excited just now suddenly withered.

The monkey continued to gather his energy, and Chen Dongyang began to search the cave in the middle, and as soon as he entered the cave, he saw a white skeleton sitting on a futon.

At first glance, a person's bones appeared, and he was sitting facing the entrance of the cave, and his two empty eyes kept staring at the entrance of the cave, which made Chen Dongyang suddenly feel goosebumps all over his body.

However, after being slightly frightened, Chen Dongyang quickly regained his composure and carefully observed the situation in the cave.

The area of this cave is not very large, but it is enough to be dozens of square meters, and the walls around the cave are painted with some murals, interspersed with some text.

Behind the bones of the dead corpse, there was a Dharma Phase, Chen Dongyang took a closer look, and did not recognize which way the Dharma Elephant was.

There are not many immortals who have the Dharma Phase, and only the Founding Patriarch or those who enjoy great merit in the world will have the Dharma Phase.

Because the Dharma Xiang eats the incense of the world, once there is no incense supply, the existence of the Dharma Xiang loses its meaning, because without incense, even if a mortal makes a vow to the Dharma Minister, it will be invalid.

This also explains why the incense in some temples is more vigorous, and the Bodhisattvas and Buddhas he worships are more effective, and the same is true in Taoist temples.

Immortals don't eat grains, only eat incense in the world, the more vigorous the incense, the stronger his mana will be, so many immortals will occasionally descend to the mortal world and show their true body, in order to let the mortals in the world know that he is real.

However, this aspect of the law here is a little different, and the appearance of this aspect is very different from that of other immortals.

Ordinary immortals are kind and kind-eyed, but the whole face of this Faxiang in front of him really looks very serious, and it seems to be a very unreasonable person.

The eyes of this Dharma Appearance are very fierce, the nose is high, and the lips are turned out, this kind of character, but anyone who is born is either a wicked person or a cool official, like a monk who is a Taoist priest and cultivates into an immortal with a Dharma Appearance, it is really rare.

Chen Dongyang didn't know who this Dharma Aspect was, so he could only put him down first and start observing the other parts of the cave.

According to the style of the bone, Chen Dongyang found that this corpse was a male, because the pubic symphysis of this corpse was higher, which is an obvious feature of men, and according to this corpse bone, it can be inferred that the height is not short, it is one meter seventy-five, and it is generally difficult for ancient women to reach this height.

Moreover, although Taoist monks are not divided into men and women, there are still many men and few women, so Chen Dongyang can easily determine that this corpse is a man.

If the body is examined more closely, it is found that there are no injuries on the bones, and there are no signs of being injured by a sharp weapon, then it can be determined that the person did not die by the sword.

The blackening of the bones below the sternum to the pubic bone indicates that the person most likely died of internal injuries or poisoning.

The blackened position, especially the position of the chest, is the most serious, which is the middle dantian position among the three major dantian of the human body.

There are three dantians in the human body, the upper dantian is located in the middle of the two eyes, which is the place where the pulse is sealed, and it is also called the 'mud pill palace'.

The center of the chest is the middle dantian, which is the position of the Jizhong acupoint in the chest, which is the place where the spiritual energy of the people in the cultivation gathers, so the Jizhong acupoint is the heavy acupoint of the practitioner, once it is hit hard, it is very likely to die.

In particular, the people who practice martial arts and the Taoist priests who practice qi are even more interested in this acupoint, because once the middle dantian is hit, it is very likely that the dantian qi sea is unstable, and once the breath is unstable, the aura in the body will scatter and wander around, and the direct consequence of this will be that people will be dispersed and die.

The lower dantian is located above the navel eye, where the location is the place where people hide their essence, when the aura in the body is not continued, you can extract the natal true element of the lower dantian, that is, the essence, so that you can forcibly cast some spells that you can't cast, and skip the level.

But the consequences of this are also serious, ranging from serious injuries to bed rest, and at worst, it can directly take the life of a cultivator, so ordinary cultivators in the lower dantian will not draw their own natal true essence at will.

The corpse in front of him did not have much damage to the lower dantian and the upper dantian, but only the middle dantian was seriously damaged, which means that this person was severely injured at that time.

But this person's sternum is not fractured, which means that this person was not killed by outsiders, but it is very likely that he went crazy because of his practice, which caused the aura of the sea of qi to run wild, and finally he was directly killed by his own aura and the dantian.

"Alas, what an unlucky ghost, he actually practiced to death!" Chen Dongyang sighed and saluted the bones.

The deceased is greater, and giving gifts is a sign of respect for the deceased.

Putting down the bones, his eyes looked at the pictures on the wall again, these pictures were very old, many of them had been faded, and some of the handwriting was so blurry that it was impossible to distinguish at all.

But through some bits and pieces of these pictures, Chen Dongyang can still see that these people should be painting the mental method of cultivation, but because the pictures have long been blurred, Chen Dongyang can't see which school of mind this is.

It's just that I saw that the Big Dipper was painted in the picture many times, and I guessed that these people were very likely to practice sect spells related to the Big Dipper.

These sects did not appear during or before the Northern and Southern Dynasties, but there seem to be historical records in the Song Dynasty, and Chen Dongyang judged that there should have been people here during the Song Dynasty.

"Hey, Lao Chen, where are you?" came the cry of a monkey outside.

When Chen Dongyang heard the monkey's cry, he hurriedly walked out of the cave and shouted to the monkey: "I'm here!"

"Lao Chen, we seem to be late, someone has already come, I see that there are still bags of biscuits and instant noodles on the ground!" The monkey seemed to have discovered a new continent, and came to report his discovery.

"Well, I already knew, it's been almost a day or two since they're gone, monkey, we can't delay, we must speed up, get ahead of that Li Zimu and them, and rush to the second place, otherwise we will be very passive." ”

At this time, the environment on the top of the mountain had already been explored by them, and no trace of the turtle talisman was found, and the white-eyed real person in front of him also said that a Taoist priest had come a few years ago, and he also taught the Xiangshe real person the method of practicing qi, and took the tortoise shell away.

Even if they didn't take it, Li Zimu and the others had already come, so there was almost no need to think about it, those people were very likely to have already obtained the turtle talisman and rushed to the next location.

As for the purple breath painted on the clip, Chen Dongyang has not seen it so far.

This shows that there are two situations, one is that the person with purple cultivation or the alien is very likely to have left, this one Chen Dongyang is not worried, because after all, after thousands of years, that person may have died a long time ago, and after the guardian died or left, the tortoise shell was taken away by the Taoist priest that Baimei Zhenren said.

But the second one made Chen Dongyang a little worried, because Baimei Zhenren was not a Xiangshe Zhenren, and what he said was very likely to be compiled in order to hide his identity and confuse him when he was transfigured, so there would be a second possibility, that is, the person guarding this place had been killed by Li Zimu and others, but if you think about it carefully, this possibility is almost zero.

As for that incense roe deer, his cultivation was no more than light purple, and he was certainly not the guardian of that purple aura, and it was impossible for these dead people in the cave and on the top of the mountain.

But whenever a human cultivates the Dao, how deep the Dao is when he dies, his bones will exude the aura of his cultivation, and the highest of these people on the top of the mountain is only a blue cultivation, and none of them have purple qi.

Therefore, in order to catch up with Li Zimu and the others in front, the two of them had to leave immediately, without the slightest delay.
