Relying on the existence of the "Iron-armored Bronze Corpse Immortal", the White Lotus Sect was often able to catch the Qing army off guard during rebellions in various places, and achieved key victories, so much so that it disturbed the Qing Dynasty. In the end, its vitality was seriously damaged and its foundation was shaken.

The lower-level soldiers of the Qing army even called these "immortals" the "Black Wind Demons" of the White Lotus Sect.

Because on the one hand, they have to keep the secret of the Iron-armored and Bronze Corpse Immortals, on the other hand, the appearance of these "immortals" has undergone horrifying changes. They all wrap their bodies in black clothes and black robes, leaving only their eyes exposed.

Coupled with the fact that they are extremely powerful and as fast as the wind, rushing into the enemy formation is like a black demonic wind blowing!

These great immortals will basically not die in battle or be captured, so when their lives are exhausted, they will be recovered by the White Lotus Sect and then locked in iron coffins for worship.

After all, the White Lotus Sect is a feudal and superstitious religious association. Although the sect highly respects the Iron-armored and Bronze Corpse Immortal, this strange change still makes them wary, and they should still treat matters of ghosts and gods with caution.

After all, it would be too terrible for such "immortals" to die without closing their eyes and raise their corpses. Therefore, iron coffins were specially built to contain their corpses to prevent them from crawling out again, and they were not even allowed to be buried in the soil or exposed to the earth's atmosphere.

Hanging in mid-air, chanting and worshiping every day.

Except that Zhou Deyang's body fell into the hands of the Qing court and could not be recovered.

However, from the perspective of historical development, even with these "great immortals", the White Lotus Sect was unable to complete its great cause of rebellion and overthrow the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and was eventually destroyed by the Qing army.

Not far from this "tombstone", a few lines of blood writing were inscribed on the altar, but the contents had nothing to do with white lotus sacrifices or matters involving gods and ghosts.

Besides, what kind of immortal can this iron-armored and bronze corpse be?

Li Heng no longer had to guess. There was a wooden sign erected next to these piles of corpses. It should have been made from the wooden curtains on the White Lotus Altar using local materials.

And that man was very lucky to live a long time, and probably lived through the entire Anti-Japanese War period!

Because right next to these corpses, Li Heng could see a line of small handwriting every once in a while.

Because on the altar not far from Li Heng, there were corpses on display. The corpses were stacked on top of each other. There were no less than ten corpses in total. There were also a large amount of clothes piled beside them. They were all long robes and coats in the style of the Republic of China.

.

A group of desperate Chinese people, under the iron heel of the Japanese invaders, had no choice but to embark on this road of no return.

"I have no feeling in my lower back. I might be about to die..."

Yes, judging from this final situation, there was indeed a person who successfully survived and became the Iron-armored Bronze Corpse Immortal, and that simple tombstone was erected by him.

Among these people may be some of the senior White Lotus Sect leaders, who told their heirs this deeply buried secret before they died.

Until, the only one succeeded.

The branch that occupied this place [Myojin Sect] was eventually unable to support itself and broke away, leaving behind the ruins of this forbidden area built more than a hundred years ago.

"Brother Tianwen was in danger today! After I took off my black robe, I was almost seen by the Huaer girl. She must not let her see my current appearance, otherwise she will be frightened. I also asked the matchmaker to find a home for her again.

No need to wait for me, just treat me as dead..."

However, based on what he saw, Li Heng discovered that there were still people here after it was abandoned by the White Lotus Sect!

In addition to the foreign explorer Alai Jones, there were still others who came here after the White Lotus Sect was defeated and destroyed.

This is a tombstone.

Although the White Lotus Sect was destroyed back then, not all of its members were killed. Many of them returned to civilian life and hid among the people in various places to continue to survive. There were also people who left behind descendants.

At this point, Li Heng fully understood that these latecomers were not ambitious people who aspired to become immortals, but people with lofty ideals who had no choice but to have no other choice during the tragic period of the Japanese invasion of China.

"Today we have no choice but to invade the mountains. The Japanese enemy bandits are so ambitious that they are poisoning the world and killing tens of millions of Chinese people. The rise and fall of the world is at stake. I hope that the ancestors will hang the curtain in the sky so that the younger generations can seek the most precious treasures, force our Chinese people, clean up the wolves and clarify the world.

The younger generation has no complaints or regrets even though his or her body is lying on top of thousands of mountains. The younger generation Chen Zian, Zhao Hualing, Li Yi, He Tianwen... (another string of names) leave this blood letter to pay homage to our ancestors, and hope that heaven and earth will take pity on me.

With the blood and tears of millions of Chinese sons and daughters, we are willing to transform into ferocious demons of copper and iron, and evil ghosts of black evil to kill the Japanese aggressors and jackals, regain the rivers and thousands of miles, and recreate the sun, the moon, the universe!"

But why do they do this?

Even if you die in such a miserable way, you have to bathe in this pool of essence. Is the desire to become an immortal so strong?

Most of them were naked, and their death was very tragic. Their skin was shriveled and dry, as hard as a dead tree. Their limbs were twisted due to great pain, like a demon tree that was growing wantonly.

The full text is as follows——

Just like when the White Lotus Sect created the "immortal" to fight against the Qing army, they already knew clearly that it was not an "immortal" at all, but just a short-term humanoid weapon.

The gathering of the White Lotus Sect occurred in the middle and late Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty, and it was still nearly a hundred years before the Republic of China.

It was a petition oath.

"We won! We won! We won, the idiots lost, these beasts were defeated and retreated...Brothers, have you seen it...Aha"

"Yesterday I laid an ambush in Sanjiatun and tore off the head of the bandit leader. Blood spurted all over me, but I was also shot. My arm hurts..."

And there is a very simple line written on this simple monument - "Where my brother rests forever"

Li Heng guessed that if nothing unexpected happened, they all died after being soaked in Ksitigarbha Essence but failed to survive the poisonous attack. In other words, they failed to become "Great Immortals" and most of them became the victims of the sacrifice.

More than ninety.

"Today the bandits raided the village at the foot of the mountain. Although I killed those three beasts, I still couldn't save the insulted girl. Alas..."

But they still came to this dark underground without hesitation, and one by one they threw themselves into the pool where they were almost certain to die. After witnessing the cruel and horrific death of their companions, they still decided to walk into it.

"Brother Hualing, I killed the traitor who betrayed your father! Your spirit in heaven rests in peace..."

…

"I killed five more thieves today. Brother Zian, do you know..."

Time passed by in a hurry, and we came to the most chaotic and tragic era in China. These former descendants of Bailian and now the common people of the Republic of China, after the war of aggression against China, devoted themselves to the war of resistance regardless of their own safety.

"Sister Hua'er is getting married. The man is very honest and difficult to work with. I feel relieved..."

However, the disparity in national power at that time made them despair, and finally they reunited and decided to reopen this forbidden land passed down from their ancestors.

They died in some kind of severe pain.

The last line of handwriting is out of shape and chaotic, which shows how excited he was when he wrote this line. Moreover, some of the handwriting is blurred, probably washed away by tears.

This is a fragmented diary, a letter home reporting to brothers in heaven, and a song of years left by a lonely soul here.

Li Heng was silent for a long time before he slowly stood up and looked at the black robes and coats hanging on the side. They were disguises, and they were stained with blood that had dried up and turned black.

"He finally came back here. That story is not a legend."
