Chapter 10: The Ancient Tomb

Yang Kang stood on the mountain peak behind the Chongyang Temple, looking at the lush woods, and he knew that the ancient tomb was here.

After dozens of days of observation, he had confirmed the general location of the ancient tomb, because every day there was smoke rising from there, curling endlessly.

This shows that the people in the ancient tomb also have to eat, no one can live only by eating honey, even the little dragon girl at the bottom of the valley is also dependent on eating the fish and shrimp in the cold pool at the bottom of the valley to survive for sixteen years.

After actually exploring the situation of the ancient tomb, Yang Kang made certain adjustments to the previous plan.

The current situation is that there may be three people in the ancient tomb, Lin Chaoying's maid, Grandma Sun and Li Mochou, Lin Chaoying's maid and Grandma Sun should be there, Li Mochou is not sure.

Yang Kang recalled that there was no mention in the story of when Li Mochou was adopted and entered the ancient tomb, and no one knew Li Mochou's background.

According to time calculation, Li Mochou was only about three or four years old at this time.

To know this, a detailed investigation is required, starting with the food and drink in the tomb.

If the people in the ancient tombs want to eat, they must go out to buy rice and vegetables, and it is unlikely that they can reclaim wasteland in the ancient tombs to be self-sufficient, and it is okay to grow some vegetables, but rice, flour, salt, and these daily necessities need to be bought outside.

It was difficult for Yang Kang to imagine the scene of martial arts masters bending down to plant vegetables and harvest wheat, not to mention that there was no shortage of money in the ancient tomb, so they didn't have to torture themselves to experience the life of the farmhouse.

In terms of rank, Grandma Sun is the one who goes out to buy things, and Grandma Sun has a strange appearance and is easy to identify, as long as you inquire in the town below the mountain, you can know what they eat on weekdays.

If they have bought food such as goat's milk or milk within two or three years, it means that Li Mochou has entered the ancient tomb, if not, it means that there are only two people in the ancient tomb.

This clue is very important, and it is the key to whether Yang Kang can get in.

Habit becomes nature.

If they have already adopted a child, then adding another child will not have such a great rejection, just like after adopting Li Mochou and Xiaolongnu, Yang Guo will easily enter the ancient tomb, if there is no experience in the first two times, Yang Guo is afraid that he will be sent back to the Quanzhen Sect.

One of the important figures is Lin Chaoying's maid, the peerless master who has no name, even Xiaolongnu doesn't know the name of her master, it can be seen that this maid is the same as the sweeping monk of Shaolin Temple, she is a nameless master.

The only recorded battle of this maid was with Ouyang Feng, who had gone crazy, and as a result, because Ouyang Feng reversed the practice of the "Nine Yin True Scripture" to guide the displacement of the acupoints of the whole body, the maid was killed by Ouyang Feng instead of hitting Ouyang Feng's acupoints.

This shows that her martial arts should be below the four uniques, but they are not too close.

She adopted Li Mochou and Xiaolongnu, proving that she is at least a caring person, of course, maybe she is just lonely and wants to find a child to raise, like a pet.

But from the analysis of Li Mochou and Xiaolongnu's personalities, she is at least not a warm and cheerful person.

Li Mochou is ruthless and vicious, and Xiaolongnu is cold, if they have a master who often smiles and chats with them, it will definitely not be like this.

This involves the issue of martial arts of the Tomb Sect, which requires cultivators to think less, think less, desire less, do less, talk less, laugh less, worry less, be happy less, be less angry, be less good, be less evil, and so on.

If you really practice like this, there is no great joy and sorrow, no emotional fluctuations, it is no different from a puppet, even if you can maintain your health and maintain your appearance, it is not interesting to get along with such a person.

Yang Kang finally understood why Wang Chongyang would rather be a Taoist priest than be with Lin Chaoying.

It stands to reason that there is nothing to be embarrassed about being with a woman with excellent martial arts and not too ugly, Lin Chaoying was already forced to marry when he came to Zhongnanshan and Wang Chongyang to compete, but Wang Chongyang blindly pretended to be stupid, and in the end he was forced to become a Taoist priest.

Yang Kang suspected that it was because Lin Chaoying had no interest in life, and Wang Chongyang was unwilling to face a puppet every day.

Of course, this is just his speculation, and it cannot be ruled out that Lin Chaoying only cultivated the Jade Maiden Skill after entering the ancient tomb, so it is necessary to doubt Wang Chongyang's sexual orientation.

But in any case, Lin Chaoying's maid is a little weird in terms of personality, and the only normal person in the ancient tomb is Granny Sun, who has become the key to Yang Kang's entry into the ancient tomb.

If Yang Kang jumped off the cliff, rolled into the forest with countless bees, and was stung unconscious, but the people in the ancient tomb did not come out, then he could only wait to be stung alive by the bees.

Therefore, in order to ensure that the plan goes smoothly, he has to choose an appropriate time.

He had to wait until Grandma Sun came out to buy food, and he had to make sure that he could be spotted by Grandma Sun in time when he rolled down, so that even if he couldn't enter the tomb, he wouldn't be stung to death by bees.

If you want to seize this opportunity, you must investigate the date and route of Grandma Sun's food shopping to ensure that nothing goes wrong.

After comprehensively analyzing the above situation, Yang Kang left the back mountain, returned to Chongyang Temple, and began to do his homework in the evening.

At this time, the apprenticeship ceremony had ended, and Yang Kang became a member of the Quanzhen Sect honorably under the witness of the seven sons of Quanzhen, and was issued with a trumpet robe and a bamboo piece similar to an ID card.

This is not a degree issued by the government, and only real Taoist priests can have it, and it has a relatively strict management system.

Yang Kang naturally can't really be a Taoist, this bamboo piece is a token of the Quanzhen disciple, if you meet other Quanzhen disciples in the future, in order to distinguish the authenticity, you only need to take out this bamboo piece to compare.

The bamboo tablets have the name of the holder and the name of the master, and there is a secret mark on the corner, which is unique to the sect and is extremely difficult to imitate.

With the wide spread of Quanzhen Christianity, there are more and more Quanzhen Taoists, and the matter of impersonating Quanzhen Taoists to collect money from time to time occurs, especially in the Jiangnan area.

Among the seven sons of Quanzhen, Ma Jue sat in Chongyang Palace, Sun Buer and Qiu Chuji were in charge of missionary affairs in the Jiangnan area, Wang Chuyi and Liu Chuxuan were in charge of missionary affairs in Jinguo, and Tan Chuduan and Hao Datong stayed in Chongyang Palace to assist Ma Jue.

This is mainly because Ma Jue is not a big director, and the Chongyang Palace, which is the ancestral court of the Quanzhen Sect, is a place of worship for believers from all over the world, and everything is complicated, so he has to leave two people to deal with the chores in the sect.

This time, the seven sons of Quanzhen are enough to gather because of Yang Kang.

After all, he was the first of the three generations of disciples, and the seventh son of Quanzhen had high expectations for him, but it was not a good thing for Yang Kang, and he finally realized Guo Jing's distress.

He should have felt happy to be taught by the seven masters, but he was also under a lot of pressure, and his daily homework was full, so he still took advantage of the meal to observe the movements of the ancient tomb.

He was now thinking about how to sneak down the mountain to find out Granny Sun's whereabouts, thinking that he was going to follow an ugly middle-aged woman, Yang Kang felt a chill.
