Chapter 225 Short-lived people
Zhang Jixian, the 30th generation Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain.
He is also the one who in the legend cast a spell to make the mosquito-free village mosquito-free.
Although this person is not famous, many people have actually read the legends related to him - in the first chapter of "Water Margin", Zhang Tianshi prayed to ward off the plague, and Lieutenant Hong mistakenly walked away from the demon. The Zhang Tianshi in it was talking about
This one.
Jiang Xian narrowed his eyes slightly. There was a legend about Zhang Jixian in Mosquito-free Village. It was not surprising that his traces were left here.
When Lin Ruoxue and the knife owner saw his actions, they immediately walked up and caught sight of the text.
Over the course of thousands of years, the carvings on this high platform have become a little faint and blurry. In addition, the person who originally carved the carvings used cursive script, and the writing is sloppy. It is difficult to recognize the specific words and sentences without looking carefully.
Jiang Xian turned to look at Lin Ruoxue: "You have good eyesight and have a deep knowledge of ancient Chinese. You will translate and translate, and I will take a look around..."
Lin Ruoxue rolled her eyes at him, nodded, looked at the carvings carefully, and said slowly: "Zhang Jixian, the 30th generation Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain, came here according to the instructions of his ancestors."
"Before taking over as the Heavenly Master, even I didn't know that the Mosquito-free Village next to Longhu Mountain had such a big secret."
"The creatures recorded in ancient books such as the Classic of Mountains and Seas actually exist!"
"Owls, snipers, corpse insects... Of course, all these are nothing compared to the things at the foot of Longhu Mountain."
"Only when you enter inside do you realize what great things our ancestors did back then, and what the Celestial Masters and Tongtian Mansion leaders of all generations have silently sacrificed."
"It's just that with the changes of the years, no matter how exquisite and exquisite the layout design of the ancestors was, it has gradually begun to lose its original effectiveness. It is okay to have the reinforcements of the Heavenly Masters and the people of Tongtian Mansion at the foot of Longhu Mountain, but here...
It's already threatening to turn into a disaster."
"Corpse bugs, robins, and snipers have formed extremely terrifying numbers during their reproduction over the years!"
"Almost every area has traces of their battles."
"If it weren't for the protection of the heavenly jade, I might have lost my life."
A treasure from heaven!?
Jiang Xian's eyes suddenly condensed. The Tianwai Baoyu that Zhang Tianshi refined in Longhu Mountain for three years? Is this its true effect?
That's right...according to the current information, the place under Longhu Mountain is definitely more dangerous than here, and can even be said to be a lifeless place. Zhang Tianshi knows this situation, and if the refined heavenly jade has no life-protecting effect, it is not worth spending.
So much effort and energy.
He came back to his senses and continued to listen to the following content.
"It's just that it's absolutely not possible to continue like this. Their number is getting larger and larger, and the space they need is getting larger and larger. The corpse oil is becoming less and less a deterrent to the corpse bugs. One day they will come to the edge area. The gaps in those areas
, enough for the zombies and snipers to rush out. Once they rush out of here..."
"All lives will be destroyed!"
Lin Ruoxue couldn't help but paused, and while turning her head, the three of them looked at each other, and they all saw the fear and solemnity in each other's eyes: Corpse Bug and Ai Ru almost rushed out once!
With their terrifying abilities and the characteristics of drum's corpse oil, if they reproduce in large numbers in the outside world...
Fortunately...fortunately it was discovered and solved in advance.
After gathering her emotions, she continued to translate: "This situation must be resolved, but there are so many corpse insect snipers here that they cannot be killed by manpower. After many searches for information and verification, I finally found out
Found a way."
"Since we can't kill them all, what if we completely trap them here so that they can never get out?"
"So, I opened the shadow cellar under Longhu Mountain and took out the thing that was recorded as being able to restrain them - the corpse of the giant beast that had eaten the drum's corpse oil."
"Thousands of years have passed. It was extremely old at first, and by the time it was dying, it no longer had the power to resist."
There was a silence in the hall.
After a while, the swordsman said slowly: "Eating corpse oil and turning into a giant beast...could it be..."
"Yes, it should be the skeleton at the entrance." Jiang Xian's eyes settled, and he moved back here, recalling what he saw along the way: "Among all the murals, the only ones who ate corpse oil and turned into giant beasts were those geckos.
…”
According to what is said on the stone carvings, the gecko lived from the Eastern Han Dynasty to the late Northern Song Dynasty at least!
A full span of thousands of years...Normal vertebrates definitely do not have such a long lifespan.
"Eating corpse oil mutates, the body swells, and has a thousand-year lifespan..." His eyes flashed slightly: "Such a wonderful situation can occur between Gu's corpse oil and the gecko. Is it because Gu has taken the elixir, or is it because Gu has eaten the elixir?
Are there other reasons?"
The three of them tacitly did not discuss this topic, and Lin Ruoxue continued to translate the following content:
"The effect of the giant beast's body is indeed extraordinary. Whether it is a bird, a sniper, or a corpse insect, they all stay away from it and do not dare to approach it at all."
"I cut off part of the flesh and blood from the giant beast and buried it in the wall of the exit passage..."
Jiang Xian recalled everything that happened when they first entered here, and his eyes were thoughtful: No wonder when they first entered the first fork in the road, the footsteps of the corpse approached and then quickly moved away... The roots turned out to be here.
Moreover... Mosquito-free Village is on the east bank of the Luxi River. According to what the creditor said before, they are currently under the east bank of the Luxi River.
Since the flesh and blood skeleton of the gecko can repel corpse bugs and snipers, its own breath will only be a stronger deterrent to mosquitoes. Even if only a trace is transmitted to the top, there will be fewer mosquitoes around the village.
He nodded secretly and listened to the subsequent translation.
"The rest of the corpses were all brought to the core palace area. Corpse bugs there covered almost every inch of the world, and the tomb chamber almost became a nest of corpse bugs!"
"With the precious jade and the bones of the giant beast, I walked to the innermost part and saw a scene I will never forget."
"On this stone platform, this giant hand, which is more than three feet long, is slowly moving its fingers."
"The zombie is trying to control the giant hand!"
"And... the corpse insect that landed on this palm is not afraid of the evil spirit of the giant beast, and even got into it to control the giant beast!"
The expressions of the three people suddenly changed, and the person who borrowed the knife even gasped. As they walked along, they knew how dangerous it was, and it was no joke to have their lives hanging by a thread many times. According to the description in the text, Zhang Jixian's situation,
It is several times more dangerous than them now. His biggest advantage is the corpse worm's instinctive fear of giant beasts.
But now, the corpse insect's fear is gone, and instead it controls the giant beast to attack him!
Suppressing their emotions, the three of them focused their eyes on the stone slab again, carefully looking at the content behind it.
"Fortunately, the extraterrestrial jade refined by the founder is still there, and the corpse insects are still a little afraid of the jade. After a hard fight, although they were injured, the corpse insects were finally eliminated."
"But this only treats the symptoms, not the root cause. The corpse bugs inside the palms are still there."
"The giant beasts can't deter them, and I can't completely eliminate them now."
"If you want a real solution, there is only one way...use corpse oil to ignite the heavenly jade, and use the strongest deterrence to lock these corpse insects in the palm of your hand!"
"Let them be unable to reproduce and wait for them to age and become extinct. However, during this period, the treasures and jade left by the ancestors can only be stored here. Whether it is from Tongtian Mansion or Tianshi Dao, if you see the heavenly jade that looks like a white lotus lamp, you will still be able to see it."
Here, and the corpse insects here are extinct, please bring the precious jade back to Longhu Mountain."
The text ends here.
The three people looked at each other. After a moment, Jiang Xiancai said quietly: "If I remember correctly, this thirty-generation Celestial Master is one of the few short-lived Celestial Masters in the past..."
"That's right." The person who borrowed the knife nodded and said in a deep voice: "He emerged in the second year of Jingkang, that is, 1127, and was only thirty-six years old. It was very hasty, and many things were not explained in time. After all,
Before him, most of the Longhu Mountain Celestial Masters were over eighty when they emerged, and none of them died before they were fifty."
Lin Ruoxue's eyes flashed from the stone carving again: "Now it seems...his sudden death is probably related to the injuries here."
Jiang Xian nodded, his eyes falling on the last sentence, with a complicated look in his eyes: "And he didn't expect that this message has not been completed until now..."
The heavenly treasures in Longhu Mountain have been circulating for hundreds of years, but it is only now that they have the chance to return. All this stems from one person——
Mao Ziyuan!
This person who claimed to be an unworthy disciple of the Zhengyi Sect played a vital role in it. When he founded the White Lotus Sect in 1131, he used the White Lotus Jade Feet and the White Lotus Order as sacred objects, indicating that at the latest that time
In the year he got the White Lotus Lamp refined from the Heavenly Treasure Jade.
Due to Zhang Jixian's sudden death, Tianshi Dao and Tongtian Mansion lost information about the bottom and surroundings of Longhu Mountain, and only now have they vaguely learned about it.
"Unworthy disciple... If he is truly a disciple of the same sect, he would be more than unworthy."
Jiang Xian's mind was spinning, his eyes swept around, and he smoothed over the whole process in his mind. A doubt suddenly arose in his mind: "It seems that since Zhang Jixian, everyone who has obtained the white lotus lantern will eventually put the lantern here."
White Lotus Sect, Tiandihui, CC Party, Yang Yongtai...
The people he knew who had received the White Lotus Lantern all chose this way.
It would be fine if the White Lotus Sect and the Heaven and Earth Society made such a choice because of doctrines and the like, but for people like the CC Party and Yang Yongtai, wouldn’t it be nice to have Baoyu by their side?
Based on the ethics of these two parties, something like this that holds a big secret should be held tightly in their arms.
But they didn't do this. Instead, they honestly put the white lotus lantern here.
"When a person makes a choice that is not in line with their character and habits... there are only two possibilities." Jiang Xian's eyes flashed: "One is that someone is pretending to be them, and the other is... they dare not make a choice according to their heart.
!”
That's right, I just don't dare!
