With the help of the white light, we finally saw who it was. It was the one we thought was dead, Lin Ziqiang!
Snowy exclaimed, "Senior brother, you're not dead!" As he spoke, he moved forward.
The old cultivator grabbed Xiao Xue and gloomily said, "Zi Qiang was poisoned by the corpse poison, so there must be no good fortune. The person before me might not be a son."
When Lin Ziqiang heard the old Daoist's words, he hurriedly said, "Master, it really is me." I am not dead, someone saved me! "
The old Taoist's face tightened and he didn't say anything for a long time. We also didn't know what to do and looked at the old Taoist.
The old Daoist stayed silent for a while, then said to Mister Leng, "Brother Leng, does this great formation have the ability to bring people into the environment?"
Mr. Leng also shook his head, saying, "The ancestor did not mention this point, so I can't be sure."
Lin Ziqian saw that the old Daoist didn't believe him and quickly said, "Master, I'm really strong! Remember that I joined your sect eighteen years ago, Xiao Xue was an orphan you picked up one year later! When we were kids, we loved to play, yet you still beat us on the head with books! "
Lin Ziqiang was afraid that the old Daoist would not believe him, so he hurriedly spoke of his past identity.
When the old Daoist Priest heard what had happened in the past, his complexion also relaxed. After all, he was a disciple who had grown up with him. Although the old Daoist Priest was ruthless, he treated his disciple like his own disciple.
The old Daoist also felt his heart soften, but this was a tomb after all, so he had to be careful.
The old Daoist took out a talisman from his bosom and threw it to Lin Ziqiang. "True Sun Talisman, you know how to use it!"
Xiaoxue looked at the talisman and quickly said, "Teacher, the True Sun Talisman …"
Xiao Xue was interrupted by Lin Ziqiang before she could finish her sentence, "Junior Sister, there is no need to speak anymore. The tomb is too strange and Master should be careful. "Besides, although this True Sun Rune has injured three souls, it's not that serious. It's just resting for a few more days. Junior Sister, you don't have to worry."
Xiao Xue still wanted to say something, but was stopped by the old Daoist. He said in a deep voice, "Xiao Xue, you don't need to say anything. If he is really that strong, when we leave, I will repair three of his souls for him."
Lin Ziqiang was unyielding and said, "Disciple thanks Master first."
Snowy didn't want to say anything, but seeing the resolute expressions on her master and senior brother's faces, she knew that persuading them was useless. Moreover, this Lin Ziqiang appeared too strange.
Lin Ziqiang waved the True Sun Talisman in his hand, causing the talisman to spontaneously combust. In the blink of an eye, it had turned into a pile of black ash. Lin Ziqiang did not hesitate and immediately swallowed the black ash. He then kneeled on the ground in pain.
The old Daoist looked on coldly from the side, while Snowy had a face full of worry. She wanted to go over a few times, but she stopped in her tracks in the end.
After an incense stick of time, Lin Ziqiang stood up with a pale face and said in a low voice, "Master."
The old Daoist Priest was also excited as he said with a trembling voice, "Good, good, good. You really are strong. I have let you down!"
Snowy was also excited. She went up and hugged Lin Ziqiang, saying in a choked voice: "Senior Brother, it's so good that you didn't die!"
After all, Lin Ziqiang had saved his life by leaving behind the last remnants. Once the three of them had calmed down, Mr. Leng asked curiously, "Mister Lin said he was saved by an expert. Who might it be?"
When Lin Ziqiang heard this, he solemnly replied, "I also haven't seen the person who saved me!"
When the old Daoist saw that his disciple had come back from the dead, his heart was agitated. Now, he calmed down and became that meticulous and ruthless expert from the Celestial Sect of Wonders. He said in a deep voice, "Zi Qiang, tell me in detail what happened to you."
Lin ZIqiang agreed and told her what had happened.
It turned out that the old Daoist Priest and his group were battling the Yin Corpses, the old Daoist was ambushed by the Yin Corpses, Lin Ziqian risked his life to save the old Daoist, but he was accidentally poisoned by the corpse poison, he knew that there was no way to remove the corpse poison from the tomb, he would definitely die. Thus, they stayed behind to protect the Yin Corpses and let everyone escape.
But Lin Ziqiang was not a match for the Yin Corpse, he could only fight and escape. Seeing that his life was about to be lost in the hands of the Yin Corpse, at this time it was unknown what mechanism was activated, the tomb directly split open, Lin Ziqiang was caught off guard, and unexpectedly fell into the water, unconscious. When he woke up, he was in an underground river.
Hearing that, Xiao Xue and I looked at each other. Could this underground river be the one we met before?
Lin Ziqiang didn't pay any attention to us as he continued speaking.
After exiting the underground river, the corpse poison started to act up, the wound was extremely cold and unbearable, at this time, the cold wind became stronger, and the ghost soldiers started to cross over. Just when Lin Ziqiang thought that he was going to die, a green flame suddenly appeared around him. Lin Ziqiang's reaction was not fast, and he was possessed by the green flame. He did not expect that not only did the green flame help him get rid of the corpse poison, but it also brought him here.
When we finished listening, we looked at each other. What did this person mean? Why did he save us and gather us together? What was his motive?
Seeing that we were silent, Lin Ziqiang asked, "Does Master know who saved me?"
The old Daoist laughed bitterly and said, "We were also saved by this soul fire, but we don't know who it was. We also don't know what his motive was."
Lin Ziqiang then asked, "Then what do we do now?"
The old Daoist shook his head and said nothing. Instead, it was Mister Leng who said, "Since this person gathered us here, it must be related to the things in the tomb. No matter what, we have to get the things first!"
The old Daoist nodded and said, "Now's the time."
Everyone had made up their minds and no longer wasted any time. Mr. Leng first released a white light and led the way. The group of five carefully followed the white light and continued forward.
When I was free, I secretly asked Lin Ziqiang, who was behind me, "Do you think that this Soul Fire was able to remove the corpse poison in your body?"
Lin ZIqiang nodded his head and said, "I also find it strange, but it's the truth."
I couldn't help but ask, "Then why didn't my corpse poison get burned by the soul fire?"
Lin Ziqiang said, "I don't know either, but it's also possible that …"
He paused and did not continue.
I couldn't help but ask, "Could it be that your master gave me medicine to speed up the spread of the corpse poison and also blocked the spying of this Soul Fire?"
Lin Ziqiang took a look at it and said in shock, "You already know about it?"
Seeing me nod, Lin Ziqiang continued: "Since you already know, there is no need to hide it from you. It is indeed possible!"
My heart was filled with sorrow. It seemed that I was destined to die here.
Lin Ziqiang saw that I no longer had the desire to speak, so he kept quiet and continued on his way.
As we went deeper and deeper, the number of these platforms at first gradually increased, but in the end, the number of platforms became fewer and fewer. However, the platforms at the back got taller and taller, until they finally reached a height of over eight meters.
The coffin on the high platform also grew bigger and bigger. Listening to the meaning behind the old Daoist's words, the coffin on the high platform had already moved beyond the fifth floor. It was likely that all the high-ranking officials of the Southern Han Dynasty were buried here.
As we went deeper, the forest came to an end. As we turned the last high platform, we were surprised by what we saw.
The high tower's forest was built on the edge of a cliff. The opposite side of the cliff was pitch black. Using the remaining searchlight, the pillar of light disappeared halfway, as if it had been devoured by the void.
There was a stone bridge not far away, and it seemed to go straight to the other side, but when we walked in, we saw that it was only half a bridge! The stone bridge extended out from this side of the cliff, and then strangely vanished into thin air, as if it led to another world.
From time to time, ethereal clouds would rise up from the bottom of the cliff, lingering around the stone bridge, making it seem like a road to immortality. Snowy was also shocked speechless. She couldn't help but exclaim, "So beautiful!"
Indeed, it was not bad. If not for this strange tomb, this place could truly be called a paradise on earth.
Mr. Leng's face lit up as he muttered to himself. He had finally found it.
When the old Daoist heard this clearly, he could not help but ask, "Brother Leng, are the things we want on the other side of the cliff?"
Mr. Leng could not help but nod his head and say, "That's right. Ancestor once recorded that one could reach the Immortal Realm after stepping on the Immortal Path!"
The old Daoist nodded and said, "Then, I presume this stone bridge is the path to becoming an Immortal?"
Mr. Leng said: "I guess you can't be wrong. This stone bridge is so indistinct, it is worthy of its name on this Immortal Path!"
I've always been curious about how the clouds around this stone bridge came about. Could it be that there's water under this cliff?
Out of curiosity, I shone the searchlight down, but I couldn't help but let out a cry and took three or four steps back.
My shout woke everyone up and they quickly looked down the cliff.
The cliff was not high, and it was filled with clear water. The water was clear enough to see the bottom, and looking down through the water, one could see the bluish corpses underneath. Under the light of the lamps, the water lightly swayed, and the corpses seemed to come to life!
This corpse layer upon layer, Ben could not see the ground, nor did he know how many corpses there were! If the corpses were piled up together, perhaps they could really form a mountain of corpses!
Looking at this scene, everyone's expressions changed. This Misty Immortal Realm was actually like the underworld. This huge difference left everyone speechless.
After a moment of silence, the old Daoist opened his mouth and said, "How many people have died here? "Could it be that all the people of the Southern Han Country died here?"
His voice was hoarse, and he was also shocked by this scene. The old Daoist Priest definitely had many lives on his hands, but he was still intimidated by this mountainous corpse.
Previously, although he knew that many people had died outside, he hadn't been able to get a clear view of the situation. Now that countless corpses had suddenly appeared in front of him, it gave him an unimaginable impact.
Mr. Leng also said in a tight voice, "What exactly is inside this Immortal Stage? If this is the price of longevity, then it's really a bit too big. "
Our hearts were also filled with sadness, was all of this really done by Snowy?
If what I said in my dreams is true, then Snowy will be buried here. For the sake of staying together for a thousand years, these people will all die here because of Snowy. However, I do not believe that Snowy would do such a thing.
In her dreams, Xiao Xue was so gentle. She was definitely a kind-hearted girl. How could she let so many people die with her for her own selfish desire?
The more I thought about it, the more unwilling I became to admit that it was Xiao Xue's doing. In the end, I actually shouted, "You definitely didn't do it, it definitely wasn't yours!"
My shout startled everyone. The old Daoist suddenly thought of something and frowned. "That's not right. Why hasn't the corpse poison exploded yet?"
Everyone was shocked, how could I, who should have been turned into a living corpse, still be alive?
The old Taoist's eyes revealed a fierce light as he extended his hand to grab at me. I wanted to dodge but with a turn of his wrist, he tightly grabbed my arm.
This old Taoist had such great strength that my arm felt as if it was tightly clamped by an iron pincer. I could not help but cry out in pain.
Snowy looked at me nervously but she didn't dare to stop me.
The old Daoist paid no attention to my reaction and tore off his sleeve. He saw that the green aura that had originally spread to his shoulders had now only curled his arm and actually began to slowly dissipate.
