Oxhead Mountain is not a high mountain, it is just a remnant of Mystic Mountain.
Behind it is the continuous Mystic Mountain system, a vast sea of forests, solitary peaks and cliffs, layers of pines covering each other, and bluegrass and Ganoderma lucidum hidden behind the rocks.
Song Qi led the way, pricking his fingers from time to time and spilling blood drop by drop to make money for the road.
"The big tomb in Oxhead Mountain has a formation. If you don't have a token, you can only use blood as a guide."
Song Qi He hums, he is old and weak, and his energy is low.
The matter of leading the way was undoubtedly a torment for him.
Lin Jiugong saw it in his eyes, but was speechless in his heart.
Their expenditure began at the Shangqing Sect, but it declined many generations ago.
The so-called half vulgarity and half Daoism is just a way of making a living.
He didn't understand or agree with his senior brother's behavior of digging graves, but he was still a senior brother after all.
If one day a young hero beheads his senior brother, Lin Jiugong will only sigh deeply, and then take his two disciples to clean up Boss Song's affairs.
But today, when I saw my once high-spirited senior brother become like this, Lin Jiugong felt not only sadness but also a trace of self-pity in his heart.
The word "cultivation" is originally about competing with God for destiny. If you can win, you will be an immortal immortal, but if you can't win, you will be an ordinary person who will be born, old, sick and die.
Senior brother has already lost.
What kind of fate awaits you in the future?
The path of spiritual practice is difficult.
Song Qi didn't know that his decaying back inspired his junior brother's desire to follow the Tao.
He led a few people around and finally came to a place.
Looking at a vermilion archway from a distance, there is a blue plaque hanging on it with three gold-lacquered characters "Lingxing Gate" written on it. The paint surface has long been mottled by the impact of time.
Through this Lingxing Gate not far away there is a stone incense burner, which has long been filled with turbid water and has a little green algae growing there.
There are many ancient trees around, and the locust and cypress trees seem to be stained with a layer of smoke and dust, giving off a rusty atmosphere.
"Every temple has this Lingxing Gate. The Ling star is also called the Heavenly Gate star. Crossing this boundary is the separation between immortals and mortals." Song Qi was quite dismissive of the nobles from the previous dynasty who built the tomb here. "When you were alive, you didn't think about practicing cultivation. When you died, you were looking forward to becoming immortals."
"It's just a compliment. Mr. Song doesn't need to be too harsh."
Su Che all have the feeling of traveling alone to certain scenic spots during the off-season.
This place looks like a recently abandoned temple, not a large tomb.
After passing Lingxing Gate, the front is where Divine Path is. The left and right sides of the bluestone slab are covered with stone wengzhong, stone horses, stone generals, and stone camels. They are all lifelike and full of muscles. After hundreds of years, you can still see the skillful hands of the craftsmen back then.
"There was a formation here back then, and it took me a lot of effort to break it." Song Qi seemed to have returned to his own past.
"That Lingxing Gate can accumulate star power. If later people do not carry a token of worship, these stone figurines will come alive and kill them. Although each one is clumsy, they have brute strength."
He pointed to the dots of scar marks on General Shi's forehead and said, "That should be the blood I spattered on it back then."
Su Che Looking at the slightly dull expressions on the stone statues, it is difficult to imagine what these things would look like when they came to life.
But having said that, the blood of Old Song is indeed better to use than paint, and it has not faded after so many years.
"After all these years, all the methods have been lost."
Song Qi let out a long sigh and led the group of people to continue moving forward.
There is a temple not far ahead, and there is also a blue plaque with the words "Grace-Receiving Hall" written on it.
"This is the place where the dignitary from the previous dynasty enjoyed the sacrifices of his descendants. There are a few tablets inside, but there is nothing magical about them. When I came here last time, I hated him for playing tricks on Divine Path, so I went in and pissed on his tablets. Later, I was still angry and set fire to the broken piece of wood."
This time, before Su Che could say anything, Yuan Caiyi on the other side spoke.
"Is it enjoyable?"
"It's been decades, but I still feel a little happy when I think about it today."
Song Qi looked at the palace in front of him.
"Oh, one drink and one peck, could it be the past? When we come out of his tomb, we will burn all this stuff for him."
Chu Yuan looked at the layout before and after.
"Looking at the before and after, except for the Lingxing Gate parts that can be seen to be the methods of righteous people, the rest seems to have been completed by the people's power. To build such a scale, I don't know how much effort it will take."
"I enjoyed it so much when I was dead, but I don't know how extravagant it was when I was alive."
Qin Ben is a little resentful. He has seen many people who are rich and unkind, and today he saw an old ghost who is rich and unkind.
"It doesn't matter if you don't want to look at this ruined temple. Behind it is Treasure City. Once you enter Treasure City, you can see the tomb passage I broke through back then, and then you can enter the big tomb of Oxhead Mountain."
Su Che looked at the Grace-Receiving Hall in front of him.
"Why don't you go in and take a look."
Su Che said something.
"Brother-in-law, there's nothing good to see inside."
Qin Ben Now I kind of want to see what kind of virtues this extravagant and lustful old ghost has.
"You want to see it?"
Among this group of people, the one whom Song Qi values the most is "Liu Yidao".
Not for the Mysterious Nether Dao True Pill or Old Song in his hand would not have made this trip.
"Not bad."
Su Che Respect yourself and others.
If I were one of the nobles from the former dynasty, I would still be able to leave something behind for future generations.
A thousand-year field, eight hundred owners.
People have their fortunes in life, and families also have their ups and downs.
If Lineage declines in the future, I am afraid that I will only be a lonely ghost in the tomb.
Su Che feels that if he were a noble person in the previous dynasty, he would definitely leave a way for future generations to stand up in case of decline.
"Then go in and have a look."
Song Qi led a group of people, pushed open the dusty door of the Grace-Receiving Hall, and entered the palace.
There's nothing inside either.
A high blue brick platform was built in front of it, presumably where the tablet of the God and Lord was placed.
Behind the high platform are painted a series of palaces and pavilions, with auspicious clouds guarding the pavilions. It looks like a palace of an immortal family, which is nothing more than saying that the owner of this place has ascended to immortality and passed away.
It's just that there aren't even half-immortals in this fairy palace, which looks quite scary.
There is a disguised picture painted on the left and right sides.
The content is quite coherent.
The painting on the left depicts a blue lion rising from the sea. It is supernatural in nature. In addition to the head in the middle, there are six other heads, each of which is extremely ferocious.
This Seven-Headed Azure Lion fights all kinds of prey in the sea, including humans, demons, aquatic tribes, etc. The corpses of all kinds of prey pile up under it to form a hill.
Later, Seven-Headed Azure Lion seemed to have a great enlightenment. He wandered on the sea and finally worshiped at the mountain gate on a fairy island and transformed into a majestic Daoist.
The picture on the right is not as well preserved as the one on the left, but it can be vaguely seen that the Daoist later transformed into an ancient Buddha with a lion's head and a six-foot-long golden body.
Then there was a scene of a group of little people worshiping the Ancient Buddha, one of whom looked particularly tall.
It seems to be the origin of Lion Azure Lotus Perfected Tathagata and the roots of the owner of the tomb here.
Could it be that the owner of this big tomb was once a disciple of Old Lion?
Su Che After thinking about this, he frowned even more when he looked at the destroyed picture on the right.
The traces on the mural on the right do not appear to have fallen off naturally.
The left and right sides should have been made during the construction of this tomb. The left side is intact and has exquisite paintings, but the right side is mostly damaged.
If it is caused by nature.
The degree of damage on both sides should be about the same.
Someone on the right side obviously tried to cover it up on purpose, but I don't know who did it.
However, as long as we can enter the tomb, these problems may be easily solved.
Su Che Looking around, everything here is bare. Except for the murals on both sides, which have a relatively high artistic content and can be entered into museums, there is nothing valuable to be found.
Suddenly Su Che saw the blue bricks under his feet and had some thoughts in his mind.
A ruthless person like the coffin shop Old Song probably has little respect for the owner of the tomb.
If the owner of the tomb here really wants to leave something for future generations, it must be that only those filial sons and grandsons can get it.
Thinking of this section, Su Che carefully groped on the blue bricks according to the position where the tablet of the God should be placed.
"Brother Yue, Boss Song is so lonely and cold. Even if there are two kilograms of scrap metal here, he will take it away."
Chu Yuan chuckled, "Don't step around here."
Su Che As I stepped on it, there was indeed a piece of looseness between the blue bricks under my feet. There seemed to be space underneath, but the looseness was very weak. If I hadn't intentionally explored it, I would have definitely missed it.
Feeling delighted, Su Che opened the blue brick with all his strength. Sure enough, there was a rusty copper box hidden underneath, about the size of a book.
"My dear, Old Chu, you must have made a mistake." Qin Ben came over curiously. "Brother-in-law, if you follow Boss Song, you will make a fortune sooner or later."
In fact, I also have a pseudonym called Hu Bayi.
Su Che was also a little excited. Speaking of it, the contents of this copper box could be regarded as the second treasure that he had picked up entirely by his own abilities.
Looking at the size of this thing and the possible relationship between the tomb owner here and Old Lion, could it be that a page from Nine-Page Golden Book is hidden here?
Su Che opened the copper box with joy and took a look. Inside was a piece of Zhang Su silk with a line of small characters crookedly written on it.
Seeing this made Third Young Master Su angry for a moment.
Several people around him laughed.
"You're late, Kongkong'er Yazheng."
