Boom!
The mountains of Changbai shook, the sky and the earth seemed to be rolling like millstones, and there was a terrible sound of thunder tearing the earth apart.
The spiritual energy of Changbai Mountain guided by Taiding continued like a huge wave. The roaring ancient spiritual energy poured into the ground, turned into terrifying continuous dark lightning, and hit Yin Xiu.
The translucent human Wang Dun appeared in front of Yin Xiu and blocked them.
The black lightning struck the human king's shield and was completely absorbed by the shield. Like a mud cow entering the sea or a bird entering heavy clouds, it disappeared without a trace.
Surging mana poured into Yin Xiu's Dantian and flowed through his seven meridians and eight meridians.
The spiritual energy of heaven and earth from Changbai Mountain was like molten lava and ice. After flowing through Yin Xiu's body once, it was quickly drawn out of Yin Xiu's body by another source.
It was Ma Xiaoyu who cast a spell, causing the magic power to be drawn away from Yin Xiu before she was about to explode, and became part of the operation of her magic power.
After reciting the nine-character mantra, two gold and silver dragons roared and flew towards Taiding.
Taiding's eyes widened with anger, and his dark golden pupils became brighter and brighter, like two blazing flames.
As he raised his hand, the aura of the Taibai Mountains that had existed since ancient times gathered here again and guided him.
Two streams of spiritual energy from the Changbai Mountains collided together.
Then in Yin Xiu's eyes, a rainbow bloomed, and a strong white light swept everything around.
Boom!
Before the tomb collapsed instantly, Yin Xiu pushed Ma Xiaoyu aside. When he wanted to take action again, the ground under his feet had completely collapsed.
The huge impact caused him to fall to the ground unable to resist.
In a daze, countless black shadows passed by, flashing before his eyes like a marquee.
……
When Kui Qingshan came to the tomb following the huge noise, there were no tombs or tombs here. There was only a huge pit with countless rubble scattered around it.
At this time, Kui Qingshan was dressed as a scholar, carrying a rucksack and wearing a turban. Even if he was placed in front of him for a few years, this outfit could be considered very retro.
However, this was one of the few useful things in the "land grandfather's" private collection. It was more comfortable and decent than the clothes worn by laborers and porters.
When he was in the mountains, Kui Qingshan clearly felt the terrifying power, a pressure that almost made all living beings in the Changbai Mountains bow down. It was also oppressing him.
But when he came here, everything disappeared.
The owner of the underground palace disappeared, a few annoying people disappeared, and even the underground palace itself disappeared.
Originally, as long as he entered here, he would probably be able to gain a foothold, obtain the authority of the Taibai Divine Lord, and become the new god of Changbai Mountain.
However, now, the energy of the fierce collision, together with the factors that caused the collision, have quietly disappeared.
Changbai Mountain is huge, but this half-empty tomb is just fine. Finding it may not be as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack.
After discovering that there were no clues around him, Kui Qingshan stood up slowly, but his eyes met Tuoba Wenwu.
King Youxian of the White Lotus Sect had overcome many difficulties and arrived at the main tomb.
"It's so lucky to meet an immortal under this earth." Tuoba Wenwu sighed.
"Immortal?"
Kui Qingshan smiled, "You misunderstood, I'm just a passing, uh, ordinary person."
"Hmph, how can ordinary people get in here? No one can survive more than three days in this mountain alone."
Tuoba Wenwu seemed a little tired, so he simply sat on the ground and leaned on the stones.
"And ordinary people don't dress like you. This is something that poor people can't afford, but it's something that children from rich families won't wear.
Even when I was a child, I saw those scholars on the field ridge going to Yujing to take the exam. They were either riding sedans or traveling on two legs. There was never anyone dressed like you.
Generally speaking, only ghosts and immortals wear ancient costumes.
If I said you were a ghost, it would be disrespectful to you, brother, so I can only call you a fairy. ”
"This is also a simple judgment method that distinguishes me from ordinary people."
Kui Qingshan lowered his head and adjusted his wide sleeves, feeling more and more that this outfit had a sour smell coming from rotten Confucianism.
Could it be that the land was occupied by bandits, and they broke the neck of some unlucky guy when they were killing people and selling goods, so they left these clothes?
"Are you from the White Lotus Sect?" Kui Qingshan asked him.
"Don't I look upright?"
Tuoba Wenwu puffed out his chest as if joking.
"The hawks and dogs of the imperial court are not lucky enough to see an immortal. Even if they do meet you, brother, they will only run away immediately, because they will think that retribution is coming. Brother, you are here to punish them."
"I thought you should call me Your Excellency, or Your Excellency?"
Kui Qingshan frowned, obviously dissatisfied with the title Tuoba Wenwu gave him.
After all, the other party is a mortal, and he himself is one of the immortals, even if he is not yet in the immortal class.
However, Tuoba Wenwu still didn't seem to care. Whether he was angry at Kui Qingshan for correcting him or nervous because he made a mistake in front of the immortal, none of these emotions appeared.
He just looked as indifferent as he did at the beginning.
This was of course the first time that Tuoba Wenwu met an immortal. In the past, these characters only existed in storytellers’ stories, martial arts novels at roadside stalls, and occasional anecdotes from the countryside. Now I met the real Buddha. , he was not surprised.
Because they have encountered enough strange things.
"Speaking of which, brother, you asked me if I am from the White Lotus Sect. This is a redundant question. Didn't you already see me before?"
"Huh?"
Kui Qingshan only found it interesting and asked him calmly: "When?"
"When you entrusted a dream to the White Lotus Saint, disguised as the Great Master of the Nine Palaces, and guided us into the tomb."
"How did you know?"
Kui Qingshan couldn't help but be a little surprised that Tuoba Wenwu could recognize him.
"I didn't say that I was some great master of the Nine Palaces."
Kui Qingshan affirmed: "I never said that from the beginning to the end. It was the White Lotus Saint's wishful thinking. She made up a lie for herself that she thought she could accept. She deceived herself, that's all."
As he spoke, the smile on his face became more and more obvious, "Sometimes people are so funny and like to lie to themselves.
His wife was robbed. He thought that good people will be rewarded and bad people will be rewarded. But who said that bad people will not be rewarded?
When the situation is not good, it means that the talent is not recognized. You always think that one day you will be appreciated by the nobles and become a successful person, but in the end, don't you end up depressed?
What you are afraid of in this world is not that others will lie to you, but that you will lie to yourself.
So, how did you figure it out? ”
"Without setting up an altar or doing anything, Holy Maiden White Lotus could suddenly see the true person of Jiugong. That means she was either lying or she was possessed by evil spirits.
But I grew up watching the Saint. She never lies, let alone makes fun of Jiugong Zhenren and Wusheng Old Mother. Whatever she says is what it is, and there is absolutely no fabrication, exaggeration or deception. "Tuoba Wenwu felt a little dry in the mouth. He picked up the water bag next to him and raised his head to drink water.
As soon as he lifted it up, he discovered the two holes in the water bag. He didn't know whether they were poked by Ren Qi's sword or hit by stray bullets fired by the army's muskets.
In any case, the water ran out from these two holes, not a drop was left.
When he threw the water bag aside with some annoyance, Kui Qingshan handed him a gourd.
Tuoba Wenwu glanced at him without any politeness, took the gourd, opened it and poured it into his mouth, and then took a deep breath.
"Good wine, wine from immortals, really different!"
"Not mine."
Kui Qingshan smiled and said, "It was just an old daughter's red that I got casually. Tell me, if you found out but didn't say anything at that time, wouldn't it make the White Lotus Saint a liar?"
"How could I have the ability to discover it on the spot?"
Tuoba Wenwu shook his head, "I also thought about it myself later, and the more I thought about it, the more wrong I became, and then I finally reacted.
Then I met you and it was decided.
Although I don't know what your intentions were in guiding us into the tomb, you did solve our urgent need at the time.
If the White Lotus Saint cannot give a direction and tell everyone to live or die together, the White Lotus Sect may really fall apart from now on.
If the White Lotus Saint can't guide us, wouldn't it mean that the Inanimate Mother actually doesn't exist? What we do will also become meaningless and stupid.
In that case, there will be disagreements within the White Lotus Sect, because the rifts caused by those differences will not only affect the present, but will become bigger and bigger in the future.
Even though everyone always says that grudges can be washed away over a glass of wine and that it's good to talk things out, but in fact, a knot is a knot and a crack is a crack. If you paint a layer of white dust on it, it will only cover it up, rather than smoothing it over and repairing it.
One day in the future, it will become the fatal wound that kills the White Lotus Sect.
So we might as well die here together and not let any White Lotus cultist escape alive. In this case, the White Lotus cult will not split and will continue to exist. ”
"So you didn't say it, but came here with the determination to die?"
Kui Qingshan felt more and more that Tuoba Wenwu, a warrior, had a wisdom that was beyond ordinary people. Even those old masters, Taoist priests and monks may not be as thorough and clear as him.
"Almost."
Tuoba Wenwu said calmly: "There must be a way to solve it. If you want to succeed, you must be prepared to pay any price.
If we fail, we must fail quickly, never be sloppy, and do not let the wound widen. This is all the contribution we can make to future generations. ”
After expressing his opinions, he began to care about the "immortal" Kui Qingshan in front of him.
"So, this Great Immortal, why did you guide us here? Bringing us a group of desperadoes into the mausoleum, is this the merit you want to do? You are a good Immortal, and you have to do three thousand A good thing?”
Kui Qingshan was obviously amused by these words, and even the depression caused by finding everyone missing disappeared a lot.
However, he did not answer this question directly, but asked Tuoba Wenwu: "What are the teachings of the White Lotus Sect?"
"A vacuum hometown, a birthless mother."
Tuoba Wenwu murmured: "Actually, I'm just a martial artist. I don't know much about the teachings. I only mentioned it to me once when an elder first joined the religion.
From then on, I only heard it vaguely two or three times on other occasions, and spent the rest of the time fighting and killing.
You don’t think that my reputation as the Righteous King of the White Lotus Sect is because I have memorized all the scriptures and teachings, right?
But I remember a rough idea, popular and simple, that is, if we work hard and are pious enough, after accumulating enough merit, everyone will transcend and go to the residence of the Inanimate Mother.
There is no pain there, and naturally there are no disputes. It is a happy and blissful world, which is what we call a vacuum home. ”
"That's it."
Kui Qingshan nodded, obviously not surprised by this statement.
"Then what I want to do is pretty much the same. One person can achieve enlightenment, a chicken or a dog, and ascend to heaven. I plan to take all of you to heaven to achieve righteousness and achieve enlightenment and become immortals."
Hearing this, Tuoba Wenwu frowned and had a bad premonition in his heart.
"Is the heaven you mentioned the same place as the abode of the Inanimate Mother?"
"I don't know, but it probably isn't." Kui Qingshan smiled.
"When I was wandering around in the world, I saw a lot of evil ways, and their rhetoric was similar to yours.
As long as the people below work hard, contribute material and manpower, and help the leader or master achieve enlightenment and become an immortal, finally when the master ascends, everyone will be transcended and go to heaven together, where they will be rewarded based on their merits and become immortals. ”
"Oh? This rhetoric is timeless. People often said this in my time."
"It's like this, you can't always make up new lies."
Tuoba Wenwu glanced at him, "However, those people I saw were either defrauded of all their property, or lost their lives and became the playthings of the leader. What's even worse is that many of them even lost their lives. Willing to die, collectively in a cave
Either poisoned or burned, it was terrible.
So I know that generally speaking, it’s not a fun thing to lead others to ascend.
Tell me, what do you need us to do for you? ”
"No need."
Kui Qingshan shook his head, "You have done enough when you came in. The next thing you have to do is to die in battle."
"Death in battle?"
"That's right, it means dying in battle. Whether it's fighting the imperial court or killing each other, as long as you continue to fight and spread your blood all over the palace, the aura here will revive and once again be like the ancient times. It will also become a blessed place and help me ascend
So I don't need you to contribute property, wives and daughters, as long as you fight each other, that's enough. ”
"Asshole!"
Tuoba Wenwu glared at Kui Qingshan, but the latter was still calm and composed.
"You cannot disobey my plan."
Because Kui Qingshan knew that even if he revealed his plan, the hatred between these people would not let go just because they knew the truth.
This is a knot that cannot be untied. Only when one party bleeds out all the blood will the dispute stop temporarily, but the knot will always be there.
"This is your conspiracy. No one can stop it. Even if he is extremely smart, he still has to move forward step by step according to your plan. However, I am the Righteous King of the White Lotus Sect!"
Tuoba Wenwu violently rose up, the muscles on his arms became knotted, and he suddenly burst out with surging power and punched Kui Qingshan.
At this moment, Kui Qingshan's figure suddenly became transparent, allowing Tuoba Wenwu's punch to pass through.
When Tuoba Wenwu quickly turned around, Kui Qingshan's figure had disappeared without a trace.
He and the night merged into one. (End of chapter)
