Lin Yu stepped out of the temple and looked up at the sky. He saw several black dots rapidly growing larger, accompanied by rolling thunder and wind, whistling closer.
When he saw them clearly, the shock in his heart was hard to suppress. They were nine massive dragon corpses, dragging an ancient bronze coffin, pressing down towards the peak of Mount Tai.
"Boom!"
The bronze ancient coffin heavily struck the summit of Mount Tai. Instantly, the mountain body shook violently, as if the entire world was trembling, like a sudden strong earthquake.
Large amounts of rocks rolled down, with continuous rumbling sounds, like thousands of troops and horses galloping, the momentum terrifying to the extreme.
Many people were caught off guard and were crushed bloody by the rolling rocks, screaming as they tumbled down the mountain. Fearful wails echoed through the mountains, connecting into a single sound that made people tremble with fear.
After the shaking stopped, the mountain body became calm, but Mount Tai was already in chaos. Everyone was in a panic, and people kept falling as they ran, the scene a complete mess.
Many people were bleeding from their heads, their faces full of panic, desperately running down the mountain.
Looking at the chaotic scene before him, memories from his previous life surged into Lin Yu's mind like a tide. He exclaimed in his heart, "Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin, so I actually transmigrated to this world!"
Just then, from the huge裂缝 caused by the dragon coffin, several five-colored altars slowly emerged.
The altars emitted a mysterious and ancient aura, with flickering runes and flowing light. The jade book enshrined on the altars had characters floating in the air like stars, forming a giant Yin-Yang Bagua. It seemed to be opening a door to an unknown place!
A hint of determination flashed in Lin Yu's eyes. The opportunity to change his destiny was fleeting, and he had always possessed an unwavering heart set on the Dao.
Thus, against the panicked flow of people, he ran towards the five-colored altars without hesitation.
When Lin Yu approached the ancient bronze coffin, he saw a group of young people lingering around the bronze coffin, their faces full of confusion and curiosity.
In the裂缝 created by the bronze coffin, besides dozens of smaller five-colored altars, there was also a super altar, firmly supporting the bronze coffin. Lin Yu recognized it at a glance; this must be Ye Fan and his group.
When Ye Fan and the others saw Lin Yu walking over, a hint of surprise flashed in their eyes. They quickly stepped forward to greet him, saying, "Daoist priest, do you know the reason for this?"
Lin Yu smiled mysteriously and said, "This humble Daoist came precisely for this."
Before the crowd could ask further, the five-colored altars suddenly activated, and an even more powerful force instantly sucked all of them in.
In an instant, the world spun. Everyone only felt light flashing before their eyes, their bodies uncontrollably being swept into an unknown spatial tunnel.
Nine dragon corpses, like mountain ranges, soared into the air. Although still lifeless, they pulled the massive bronze coffin slowly into the dark and mysterious passage constructed by the Taiji Bagua diagram.
Lin Yu and the others entered the ancient bronze coffin. Inside the coffin, it was pitch black, permeated with a chilling coldness.
Some female students were on the verge of collapse, their hearts full of helplessness and fear, yet they dared not cry out loud. They could only suppress their emotions and voices, whimpering softly.
In this chaotic situation, Lin Yu stepped forward and said calmly, "Everyone, please don't panic. Let's all calm down first, and then take out your phones to confirm the number of people and the surrounding environment!"
Zhou Yi, Wang Ziwen, and others subsequently echoed, "The Daoist priest is absolutely right. Everyone take out your phones, let's do a headcount."
Some relatively calm people began to act. They comforted the panicked crowd, gradually stabilizing the situation. Afterward, everyone began to count the number of people.
"One, two, three...twenty-eight, twenty-nine, thirty, thirty-one!" When they counted to the thirty-first person, the voice of the student responsible for counting suddenly trembled, saying:
"How can there be...a thirty-first person?!"
"How can there be...an extra person!"
"Who...who is it?"
"Cough cough, it's me, Pang Bo!"
A sturdy figure in the corner responded.
Pang Bo then explained that he hadn't attended the gathering because of something he had to do. By the time he arrived at Mount Tai, everyone had already gone up the mountain, so he had to take the cable car up and was finally sucked into the ancient coffin.
The crowd reluctantly regained some composure, then all turned their gaze towards Lin Yu, their eyes full of expectation, as if in this strange and terrifying environment, Lin Yu was their only hope.
After all, he was the first person among them to calm down and had comforted everyone to do a headcount, showing the demeanor of "remaining composed even when Mount Tai collapses before you."
Someone couldn't help but ask, "Daoist priest, do you know the origin of these Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin, and what should we do now?"
Lin Yu looked at the panicked faces of the crowd, took a deep breath, and slowly said:
"In ancient Daoist texts, there are indeed legends of nine dragon corpses pulling a bronze coffin and sailing through various life planets in the universe.
I originally thought this was just an absurd story fabricated by the ancients, but I never expected it to actually exist. Out of curiosity, I followed.
Now that we are inside this coffin, there is no turning back. We can only accept the situation as it is. Everyone, let's first calm down and work together. Perhaps we can find a way to leave this place."
After hearing Lin Yu's words, although the fear in their hearts had not completely dissipated, they felt somewhat reassured, and their emotions gradually stabilized.
As everyone's gaze focused on the inner wall of the bronze coffin, a mysterious scroll spanning time and space slowly unfolded before their eyes.
Engraved on it were fierce beasts of various forms from mountains and seas: Taotie, with its sturdy body and ferocious face, its gaping maw seemingly wanting to devour everything in the world;
Qiongqi, emitting a strange aura around its body, as if carrying endless evil; Taowu, with its agile posture and fierce eyes, fully displaying the bravery and brutality of a fierce beast.
Besides these terrifying fierce beasts, there were also scenes depicting ancient ancestors hunting.
And the scenes of ancient people sacrificing to deities were even more solemn and reverent. People, dressed in elaborate attire, with pious expressions, held grand ceremonies before the altars, as if conducting a transcendental dialogue with mysterious deities.
Immediately after, everyone's attention was drawn to a large area of strange patterns. This area of patterns was dense and scattered like stars, and between the dots, it seemed to contain a certain ineffable order.
Each pattern was like a twinkling star, they echoed each other and intertwined.
Looking from afar, it resembled a vast and boundless star map, as if condensing the mysteries of the entire universe within it, making people unable to help but immerse themselves in this dreamlike and mysterious spectacle.
Just as everyone was immersed in these mysterious patterns, they were surprised to find that there was a small coffin inside the bronze coffin.
Everyone speculated that the corpse of an ancient ancestor was sleeping within it, having traveled through the long years in this bronze coffin to return to this mysterious place.
However, the calm did not last long. Suddenly, a violent jolt struck without warning, as if the earth itself trembled. In this sudden vibration, the bronze coffin flipped over.
Immediately after, a dazzling light burst forth from the depths of the coffin. The light was like a sharp blade, instantly cutting through the darkness.
Within the light, countless unknown secrets and mysterious powers seemed to be hidden, filling everyone's hearts with both fear and an undeniable sense of curiosity and anticipation.
