The three of them went down the tunnel. The tunnel was narrow at first, but it became wider as they went further down. Their vision gradually brightened, and they finally reached a huge underground palace. The three of them had just walked out of the tunnel when they heard the voices of soldiers outside. "…Hmm…Eh? When did I fall asleep?" "…Hmm, strange. Why did I fall asleep unknowingly?……Oh no! My purse is gone, I just got the silver yesterday!”"Aiya, me too! What happened?" "Damn it, which guy did this…ghost…mom, could it be a ghost?!”"W-what? Don't scare yourself!" "B-But, didn't you also hear the screams of ghosts coming from the royal tomb the night before yesterday? Then, at that time, you said that I misheard…" Let's go!" "Hey, don't run so fast! Wait for me!" As the messy footsteps gradually faded away, there was no longer any sound above. The two people were probably scared out of their wits and had long forgotten the orders from above. How could they dare to stay any longer?
Tian He and the other two couldn't help but smile when they heard this conversation. Lingsha's face was filled with pride as she smiled,""Hmph, those two fellows were acting so tyrannically in front of us just now. I didn't expect them to be cowards as well.”
The three of them looked around and saw that they were in an extremely wide and majestic hall. The four walls were made of marble, and the stone walls were extremely smooth. The three of them could clearly see their shadows on them. There were many embossed carved on the pillars in the hall. The contents of the reliefs were all about Taoist priests and immortals. The craftsmanship of those craftsmen was superb. Although the reliefs were dead objects, they looked like real people standing there. The most astonishing thing was the two statues in front of the three of them. They were huge and looked like ferocious beasts. Faint yellow flames were emitted from their eyes. The flames were not big, but they were extremely bright. The entire hall was illuminated by these four flames, leaving not a single dark spot.
Tian He's mouth was wide open, and he asked curiously after a while,""Wow, what is this? A tiger? Your eyes are even burning!" Meng Li thought for a moment and said," This thing, I've seen it in a book before. It seems to be called an Evil Warding Beast."”Lingsha praised,"That's right, Mengli is really knowledgeable!" The Warding Off Evil Beast was set up to suppress the evil aura in the tomb. However, in addition to suppressing evil, the craftsmen also filled its stomach with oil and used it as an 'eternal lamp'.”
Meng Li was very surprised," This lamp…can actually not extinguish for a hundred years?”"A hundred years? It was said that when Qin Shihuang built his tomb, he used a secret lamp oil that could last for ten thousand years. Although the King of Huainan could not compare to Qin Shihuang, the lamp oil he used should not be a problem for thousands of years.”
Meng Li was both surprised and emotional. She sighed and said,""In the past, I only read about the king's tomb being 'majestic and majestic, with a myriad of visions'. Now that I've seen it with my own eyes, it's indeed true.”"That's why I said that if you don't come and broaden your horizons, it'll be a huge loss!" Lingsha laughed. In fact, this Huainan King's Mausoleum was only considered ordinary. If it was the tomb of an old emperor, it would often require the national treasury to pour in money. Hundreds of thousands of craftsmen had to spend twenty to thirty years to complete it. Who knew how beautiful it would be!”
Meng Li said in surprise," Such a waste of manpower and money, just for a dead person, isn't it too, too…" Lingsha smiled and continued her sentence,""You bastard! Right? Good Mengli, I knew that you thought the same as me. So we borrowed this old man's tomb, there's no need to feel guilty at all. Right, Tianhe?" Seeing that Tian He didn't respond, he said a little angrily,""Hey, savage, what are you thinking?"
Tian He frowned." This place isn't good. There seems to be killing intent."”Lingsha was stunned for a moment. She said unhappily," What murderous intent? Stop bluffing." The feng shui of Bagong Mountain was pretty good. Just by looking at the stone forest, one could tell that the mountain here had changed from stone to wood and from wood to stone countless times over the thousands of years. It was a sign of 'stripping and reforming'. It was like a mortal being reborn. It was an extremely auspicious omen! How could there be any killing intent in such a good place?”
"No, there's really killing intent!" Tian He said anxiously.”Before he could finish speaking, a woman in red appeared in the corner of the hall. Her feet did not touch the ground as she floated towards the three of them. Before he got close, Meng Li said in shock,""Be careful! Her body was filled with hostility. She was probably not a living person!”
In the blink of an eye, the woman floated in front of Lingsha. The fingers of her right hand were as sharp as knives as she stabbed straight into Lingsha's face. Lingsha cried out in alarm and hurriedly retreated. Tian He hurriedly stood in front of Lingsha and slashed with his sword, but he missed. " Young Master Yun," Liu Mengli said anxiously," this woman doesn't have a body. Quickly use your celestial technique!"”
When Tian He heard this, he hurriedly chanted an incantation. He had been guided by Meng Li these two days and trained hard at Nvluo Rock, so his immortal technique had improved quite a bit. At this moment, the woman's clothes started to burn with a whoosh. She screamed and disappeared.
Lingsha was still in shock." What, what's going on?" she asked in fear.”Meng Li sighed and said," That woman just now is probably not a living person. Instead, it's like a soul condensed from evil energy. It's very fiendish." But…how could this be…"
"A ghost?" Lingsha was shocked. But, the last time I came here, it was…not good! Something big must have happened in the Huainan King's Mausoleum. Otherwise, there wouldn't be such a change in the Fengshui, and even malicious ghosts and resentful souls would appear!”Then, he sighed." Sigh, I didn't expect that God's plan would fail. It seems that we can't leave the Huainan Royal Mausoleum…"
Meng Li shook her head instead and said," But this mausoleum is so close to Shouyang. What if those malicious ghosts harm the people in the city?" " I want to investigate this matter and see if we can stop the scourge…" Tian He also said,""Mengli, what you said makes sense. I'll go with you!”Seeing that both of them wanted to continue investigating, Lingsha could only smile and say,""Sigh, in that case, I can only risk my life to accompany the beauty. Hehe, if you're not afraid, what else do I have to worry about? However, this is also the first time I've encountered a tomb with such a sudden change in feng shui. Everyone must be careful. The sword immortal has not been completed yet. If something happens, it won't be worth it!”
Tian He nodded and walked in front to clear the way for everyone. The three of them soon arrived at the end of the hall and saw a dark corridor in front of them. The gauze shone brightly and the fire broke, making the corridor not too dark. There were no lack of exquisite decorations and artifacts around the corridor, but there were also many malicious ghosts and resentful souls that appeared from the shadows to attack the three of them from time to time. Fortunately, the Milky Way reacted quickly and always resolved the danger in time.
After walking for a long time, the three of them finally arrived at a hall that was even larger than the front hall. The hall suddenly lit up. There were no Warding Evil Beasts in the hall as "eternal lamps". Instead, there were countless oil lamps embedded in the surrounding walls. The light shone from all sides, making it look even more magnificent. There was a long bench and a long table fixed on the high platform in the middle of the hall. The arrangement was very beautiful. Especially the sculptures on the armrests of the bench, one red and one yellow. They were warm and transparent, emitting a soft light. It was unknown what material they were made of.
"Eh? There are no ghosts here?" Tianhe asked.”Lingsha was also a little puzzled." Logically speaking, ghosts are cold and afraid of yang. I dug a big hole at the entrance of the mausoleum, and the vitality leaked in. Of course, ghosts don't dare to approach. There's nothing strange about it. "But there's no life here. I wonder why there's no ghost in the back hall…" As he spoke, Tian He walked to the bench and said happily,""Lingsha, Mengli, come and take a look! These two toads are really interesting!"
Lingsha and Mengli walked over and saw Tian He stroking the toad sculpture on the armrest, unable to put it down. Lingsha pursed her lips and said," So what if it's a toad? It's so disgusting, why are you still shouting…""I remember that the book called the toad 'toad', but it's still a good thing.”
"That's true!" Lingsha nodded. Legend has it that Chang'e flew to the moon and ascended to become an immortal. There was a very, very big toad in the moon, so this ugly thing became very likable. Humph, but I still don't like this thing.”
Meng Li said," I heard from the books that the King of Huainan was very fond of the art of seeking immortality and cultivation when he was alive. In the end, he and the eight elders consumed immortal pills and ascended. God knows, but I've been to his necropolis and found no bones in his coffin. Maybe he really became a god…" He looked down at the toad on the armrest and said,""Look at these two toads. The jade used is also different. The left is red jade, and the right is yellow jade. My guess is that they should be corresponding to the 'Sun Red Qi High Emperor True Monarch' and the 'Moon Yellow Qi High Yellow Divine Mother'. Haha, the sun and moon are all here. Isn't this the harmony of yin and yang and the unity of heaven and man that is often mentioned in immortal books?”
" I didn't know that toads are so powerful," Tian He said in surprise." Lingsha chuckled and patted the toad's head."" Hmph, so what if he's powerful? He's so ugly…"
Suddenly, the two toads shot out two beams of light, one red and one yellow, towards the mirror hanging on the ceiling of the hall. The two beams of light reflected on the mirror and intersected, creating a gorgeous band of light on the wall. Just as the three of them were watching in surprise, the two beams of light suddenly disappeared again. A rumbling sound came from beside their ears. They saw that the area covered by the light band on the wall had suddenly caved in, forming a secret passage.
"Eh?" Lingsha asked in surprise. "I really didn't expect it. No wonder, no wonder I couldn't find the secret room of the underground palace before. It's actually here…" Meng Li said curiously,"It's really strange."Could…could these two jade stones be spiritual objects?”Lingsha rubbed her head and said in embarrassment,""Hmm, I actually misjudged just now. That wasn't some yellow jade or red jade at all. It's a legendary treasure called the 'Yin Yang Purple Sparrow.' It's my first time seeing it with my own eyes!”
"Yin Yang Purple Music?" Tian He was delighted. I know about this thing. Father told me about it. He said that there's a good thing called the Yin Yang Purple Moon. After eating it, one's body will become very strong. I just don't know how it tastes.”
"Hmph, you're half right, savage." Lingsha snorted. From its name, one could tell that the Yin-Yang Purple Moon was divided into two parts, the Yin and Yang. Originally, it grew together and would only take a thousand years to take the shape of a jade stone. If it was dug out and made into jade, it would already be a priceless treasure! If the Yin Yang Purple Moon Song hadn't been dug out after it turned into jade, it would've been able to fill one's stomach after another thousand years. As for its effects, I'm not sure. " It's just that I heard that once it has spirituality, it will run around. The Yang fruit and the Yin fruit will separate. It's not good for mortals to only eat one of them…" Tian He nodded repeatedly as he listened. He thought that this thing must be much more delicious than roasted wild boar. He wondered if he would have the chance to have a good meal in his life.
Meng Li smiled and said," Lingsha, from what you said, isn't that similar to ginseng that has become a spirit?" How interesting." "There are many interesting things!" Lingsha said proudly. If the Yin-Yang Purple Moon could sense the extreme Yang and Yin Qi, it would activate its spiritual power. However, if they only touched one side or exchanged Yin and Yang, it would be useless. It seems that the King of Huainan hired an extraordinary person to make them into a mechanism. Coincidentally, the man is Yang and the woman is Yin. Tianhe and I encountered it and broke the mechanism.”Looking at the secret passage, he couldn't help but feel happy. He said,"Let's go, we should hurry into the secret passage and see what good things are inside the door that the King of Huainan used such a valuable treasure to open the door.”
Meng Li nodded." Mm, let's go in and take a look. I wonder if this secret passage has anything to do with the malicious ghosts in the tomb…" The three of them walked into the secret passage and saw that there were no ghosts here. The journey was very smooth. Not long after, a secret door appeared in front of him. There was a talisman stuck diagonally in the gap between the two doors. Tian He reached out to open it, but Lingsha quickly stopped him."Wait, this might be a trap!”
"A trap?" Tian He was shocked. Lingsha didn't answer and asked Tian He and the other two to step back. She took out a copper coin, aimed at the gap between the two doors, and threw it out with a whoosh. The accuracy of this throw was just right. The copper coin did not deviate and passed through the crack of the door. The talisman was also cut in half. Lingsha hurriedly jumped back. With a few clangs, a few crossbow bolts were nailed to the ground in front of the secret door and the door respectively. When she used Firebreak to shine, the tips of the arrows flashed with a strange blue light. It was obvious that they were dipped in poison. It was fortunate that Lingsha had been walking in the mausoleum for a long time and was experienced enough to stop him in time. Otherwise, if the Heavenly River had been so careless just now, she would have lost several lives.
"Lingsha, it's all thanks to you. That was a close call…" Tian He thanked her, but Lingsha rolled her eyes at him."Hmph, savage, this is not the mountain. If you don't understand, don't move around. Otherwise, you'll have to be careful of your own life!”Tian He scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly.
Meng Li frowned and said," There's actually such a vicious mechanism here?”Lingsha smiled." This is nothing. It's just child's play. I've seen many more powerful mechanisms than this."”Hearing this, Tian He was a little worried and said,""Lingsha, isn't that very dangerous? "I think, I think you better not…" Lingsha glared at him and said,"I don't want to…""Hmph, what do you know? My Han family has been robbing tombs for generations, and we're considered the best among our peers. If our descendants don't even dare to take such a risk, wouldn't we be disgracing the reputation of our ancestors?”"But…" Tian He said anxiously.
Lingsha ignored him and continued," However, there was already a Yin Yang Purple Moon outside as a mechanism. It's rare to see another one set up here. It's rare to see two mechanisms set up in succession." It seems that there must be something very important in this secret room, hehe…" He took out a short stick from his bosom and pulled it casually. The short stick actually extended several feet. It turned out that the short stick was made of several copper pipes of different thickness. It was usually compressed together for easy carrying, and when it was used, it could be stretched by hand. Lingsha saw that the mechanism was vicious and paid more attention. She stood far away and gently pushed open the secret door with a copper pipe. As soon as the secret door opened, Lingsha and the other two hurriedly dodged to the side, afraid that another hidden weapon would shoot out. Fortunately, there was nothing unusual, but a rotten smell assaulted their senses. The three of them frowned and held their breaths as they carefully walked into the deepest part of the inner hall. The hall was very small, and the decoration was very simple. It was far less magnificent than the previous two halls. There were no extra decorations in the hall, only a few oil lamps placed on the bare stone walls. In the center of the hall was a huge pill furnace, but it was quite luxurious. There were all kinds of strange birds and beasts carved on the wall of the furnace, and they were lifelike.
Meng Li said suspiciously," I've seen it in a book. Huainan King is extremely good at alchemy. Could it be that this is the alchemy room in his tomb?"”Lingsha nodded and said happily," Yes, I've never been here before. I've been looking everywhere in the mausoleum for the King of Huainan's alchemy place, but I couldn't find it." He didn't expect to get it today without any effort. It was really great!”
Liu Mengli walked to the side of the pill furnace and looked around. She saw that there were many containers that contained pills scattered around the pill furnace. Some of the wooden ones had rotted because of the age, emitting an unpleasant smell. He saw an old piece of yellowish-brown paper beside him. He carefully picked it up and read,"…In the middle of the night, the king dreamed that the Taiyi Divine Lord appeared in the bright wheel. Auspicious qi filled the three realms and he lowered his eyes to show you…The rooster crowed and the sun rose. The furnace was filled with purple qi and dragons. A halo appeared on the top of the furnace. It was stored in a red jade pot. The qi was condensed into a divine pill. Only then did the king know that the 'Taixian Dusk Pill' had been formed. The king and the eight princes kowtowed and ate it. They were finally reborn and ascended in broad daylight!……”
When Lingsha heard this, she was surprised and happy. The legend was right. The King of Huainan had really become an immortal! That was great! He must still have some immortal pills left. Let's quickly find that Scarlet Jade Pot!”
The three of them carefully flipped through the various containers. After searching for a long time, they did not see a single medicinal pill. "This old man ate all the immortal pills and didn't leave any for others," Lingsha complained. Humph, he even said that 'when one person attains the Dao, his chickens and dogs ascend to the sky'(It was rumored that the chickens and dogs in the Huainan King's family also ascended to the sky after eating the remaining immortal pills), what nonsense!”
Tian He picked up a small red pot and asked curiously,""Eh? "This pot, although it doesn't have anything when it shakes, it's so heavy…" Lingsha quickly walked over and took it."Hey, really?" Just as he was about to open it, he suddenly heard a sinister voice coming from the pot." Angry…It's actually angry…"
Tian He and Lingsha were shocked. Lingsha's hands trembled and she almost dropped the pot. She hurriedly put the pot back and retreated a few steps. Meng Li was also shocked and retreated to Lingsha's side. A strange laughter came from the pot."Hahaha, there are actually strangers here. It's really heaven's will, really heaven's will!”
With a bang, the lid of the teapot popped open, and a wisp of black gas came out. Within the black gas, a human figure faintly appeared. That person wore a crown on his head and a brown Daoist robe. Although it was not very luxurious, it was made with great care. It was obvious that he was not an ordinary cultivator. His face was filled with ferocity and a sinister smile hung on the corner of his mouth. It was indescribably gloomy and terrifying. "Hahaha!" The man laughed wildly. I really didn't expect that this king would see the light of day again!”
"This king?" Lingsha was shocked. "Don't tell me, don't tell me you're…" Heavenly River was on full alert."Lingsha, Mengli, be careful! This person's killing intent is very strong!" The three of them took a step back at the same time. That person glanced at the three of them and asked suspiciously,""Oh? Who are you? Why would it appear in this king's tomb?”
Meng Li said in shock," You, you are Huainan King?”"That's right, I am the King of Huainan!" That person said coldly.”Lingsha was shocked." But," she said anxiously," haven't you already become an immortal? Why are you here?"
As soon as he finished speaking, an extremely angry expression appeared on the King of Huainan's face. He said angrily,"Immortal Ascension? Humph, this king had accumulated merit and sought immortality, but I was deceived by a shameless Taoist priest and lost my life after taking the so-called 'Grand Immortal Dusk Pill' with eight sages! That Demonic Priest was bent on swindling glory and wealth. Seeing that it had caused a disaster, he was afraid that this king would take revenge on him. He actually sealed the souls of this king and Eight Duke in this red jade pot and fled on his own!”At this point, his face was filled with killing intent as he said coldly,"I didn't expect that this jade pot had been sealed for hundreds of years and its power was gradually losing. You guys barged into this place again. With the help of the living Yang qi, this king and Eight Duke were able to escape today. When this king is born, I will definitely take that Demonic Priest's life! " Hahaha…" Then, he burst into laughter. His laughter was filled with hatred, like the screech of an owl in the night, causing people to shiver.
Lingsha was not interested in hearing him talk about these old things. She said unhappily,""I say, old man, you're already dead, yet you still asked your subordinate to write some 'Jade Tripod Spirit Pill Scripture' to deceive people. You even built the underground palace so mysteriously, making this lady happy for nothing!”The King of Huainan flew into a rage. How dare you be impudent in front of this king!" Lingsha wanted to mock him, but Liu Mengli quickly waved her hand and said gently,""The world has long changed dynasties. You are no longer the King of Huainan, and the Taoist priest you are looking for is no longer in this world. How can you take revenge? I think you should reincarnate early and reincarnate.”
"Nonsense!" the Prince of Huainan said angrily. How can I let this go before I take my revenge? Since that Demonic Priest is dead, then this king might as well go out and kill all the Taoists in the world to vent this king's hundreds of years of hatred!”"How can you be so cruel?" Meng Li said anxiously. The person who harmed you is long gone, so how can you hurt the innocent with this resentment?!”
Killing intent surged on the Prince of Huainan's face as he said in a deep voice,""You trespassed into this king's tomb and now you're talking nonsense. This king will sacrifice you to the flag today! Little ones, attack!" With a wave of his hand, countless ghosts appeared around the pill room and pounced on the three of them. Tian He shouted loudly and chanted a spell. The few ghosts closest to the three of them were instantly burned to ashes. Lingsha and Mengli also cast immortal spells to stop the ghosts twenty feet away. The King of Huainan roared repeatedly, but the ghosts were still unable to get close. However, the three of them were also struggling to cast spells continuously. Lingsha said angrily,"Old man, if you have the ability, fight us one-on-one! He was not afraid of ruining his reputation by asking these shrimp soldiers and crab generals to help!”
The Prince of Huainan sneered and said sinisterly,""The ignorant villagers really don't know the immensity of heaven and earth! Since you all are courting death, this king will let you all experience the power of resentment!”Before he could finish his words, countless voices came from beside the King of Huainan,"Your Majesty, please save me…""Your Majesty, I am willing to follow you faithfully…""Your Majesty, I am here…" The King of Huainan laughed loudly and waved his hands."Dear ministers, you only need to work together with this king to kill these ignorant fellows. This king has a way to avenge you! Even cultivating the immortal path was not difficult!”There were cries of gratitude beside him. Then, countless resentful souls could be seen revolving around the soul of the King of Huainan. The little ghosts in the hall also came forward to surround the King of Huainan. The ghosts spun faster and faster, occasionally letting out eerie and terrifying laughter. Tian He and the others felt dizzy and nauseated.
All of a sudden, there was a loud bang. All the spirit souls merged into the body of the king of Huainan. His body expanded rapidly and doubled in size. A fierce light flashed in his eyes, and his fingers turned into sharp bones like a skeleton. He let out a few strange laughs and pounced on the Heavenly River. The Heavenly River had already experienced this. It knew that he did not have a physical body, so it no longer attacked him with its sword. Instead, it leaped back and used an immortal technique at the same time. A flash of fire was seen, but the King of Huainan was unharmed. It turned out that the King of Huainan reacted quickly. When he saw Tian He chanting the incantation, he quickly used his evil technique to resolve this attack. Then, he grabbed out with his five fingers and pointed them at Tian He's face. Lingsha and Mengli hurriedly used their immortal techniques and two bolts of lightning struck down. The Prince of Huainan hurriedly retracted his hand and almost had his fingers cut off. With a loud shout, he attacked Meng Li again, but was forced to withdraw his move to protect himself under the attacks of Lingsha and Tian He. The three of them took advantage of the situation to counterattack, and the King of Huainan was forced to retreat.
In fact, the King of Huainan was already very powerful when he was alive. After his death, he was eager to take revenge. He practiced the evil skills used by ghosts day and night. His strength was above Tianhe and the others, not to mention the power of the eight princes and the ghosts. However, although he was strong, he was alone. Although the three of them were weaker, they could attack together and help each other, so they had the upper hand. The Prince of Huainan also thought of this, and he secretly hated himself for being too arrogant and being easily provoked by Lingsha. After fighting a few more rounds, seeing that he could not win, he floated back and pointed his hands at the sky as he shouted,"Sh-"
A ball of black gas suddenly appeared in the sky above the tomb. It soon turned into a human face with two eyes as black as ink. It suddenly opened and shot out a black arrow of light that pointed straight at the celestial river. When Meng Li saw the situation, she was greatly shocked and said anxiously," Young Master Yun, dodge!" Tian He was fighting with the King of Huainan. When he heard this, he hurriedly jumped back. The arrow of light shot into the ground, and with a bang, a huge pit was created in the ground!
"Soul Seizing Yao Art?" How could you use such a vicious spell?”The spell that the King of Huainan had just used was one of the most vicious spells among the demons. If a human had been hit by that light arrow, his soul would have been scattered and he would have died on the spot. It was vicious and vicious, and it was truly terrifying.
The Prince of Huainan laughed loudly and said,"" Humph, that's just a move that This King has been painstakingly practicing these few years. Using it to deal with you unruly people is really using a sledgehammer to kill a chicken-""I heard from the books that when you were alive, you always sympathized with the people, sincerely did good, and wholeheartedly wanted to become an immortal. Why did you practice this kind of evil yao art? Aren't they afraid of being punished by the heavens if they fail to cultivate? Even if you don't care about yourself, the eight dukes who cultivate with you are also kind people. Don't you think about them?”
The King of Huainan sneered." Humph, I have been cultivating for decades and have done countless good deeds. I believe that my heart of cultivation is sincere. I didn't expect that I would be harmed by a demon in the end. The heavens are too kind to me!" Alright, since the heavens won't let me become an immortal, I'll become a demon or a monster. Why not? As for the Eight Duke, hehe, all of their powers are now in my hands. What do I want to do, how would they dare to say no?”
"Mengli, don't waste your breath on this old man!" Lingsha said angrily. Let's defeat him together!" The Prince of Huainan laughed wildly and shot another light arrow at Lingsha. Lingsha hurriedly dodged and the light arrow shot down again and again. It hit a perfectly fine alchemy room and left a hole all over the ground, sending dust flying everywhere. Just as he was feeling smug, Meng Li had already circled behind him and struck down with a thunderbolt, hitting the head of the King of Huainan.
The King of Huainan screamed. He had only been focused on attacking Lingsha and had forgotten his own defense. Mengli's attack was accurate and ruthless. He had a splitting headache and could no longer use the Soul Seizing Technique. He turned around and pounced at Mengli. Suddenly, his Taoist robe caught fire again. With a wail, he could not stand steadily and fell to the ground. Tianhe and Mengli did not dare to be careless. They quickly made a few more moves. Seeing that the King of Huainan was covered in fire and his face was black from the lightning, they heaved a sigh of relief.
The Prince of Huainan gathered his last bit of strength and raised his head. He glared at the three of them fiercely and squeezed out his words from between his teeth,"" I…I want thousands of years…ten thousand generations…to live…as long as…the heavens…I can't accept this…I…curse…you…" With a loud bang, the body exploded into countless resentful souls and dissipated. Lingsha wiped her cold sweat and said," That was close. I thought we were really going to meet the Jade Emperor this time."”Meng Li let out a long breath and said," Fortunately, we stopped him. This King of Huainan failed to cultivate when he was alive. His heart was filled with hatred. If he were to run out, I really don't know how many commoners would suffer…"
Lingsha sighed and said regretfully,""In short, it's all that smelly old man's fault! He clearly didn't become an immortal, but he was still deliberately mystifying and wasting his feelings! Sigh, I thought I could really find the Elixir of Immortality, but it turned out to be a false hope again…"
Meng Li saw that she could not forget Huainan King's immortal pill and could not help saying suspiciously,""Lingsha, are you looking for that medicine because you want to live forever?”Seeing that Lingsha didn't answer, he sighed and said,"" Maybe…Maybe I shouldn't say this, but although life is only a few decades, as long as I can be with the person I like, it's better than being alone for hundreds or thousands of years. Isn't that kind of life more painful…Sigh, the method of immortality is envied by everyone, but how many people really understand what they want…"
Suddenly, she heard Lingsha interrupt her with grief and indignation."No! You don't know anything! I-"
Along the way, Meng Li and Lingsha felt that she was cheerful, lively, and optimistic. She always spoke with a playful and cute tone. They did not expect Lingsha's voice to be so sad at this moment, revealing the kind of heartache that seeped into their bones. They could not help but be stunned. Tian He had seen Lingsha's sadness twice and knew that Mengli's words must have touched her heart, which was why she was so sad. He wanted to persuade her, but he didn't know where to start, so he could only say anxiously,"" Lingsha, you…Mengli doesn't know…Don't be sad…"
Lingsha turned her head, tears flashing in her eyes. She almost choked as she said,""I…I want to save people. I want to find the longevity medicine and save the entire village! If I don't find them, they'll have to suffer forever... Every time I think of that... I just, I just..."
Meng Li's face was full of apology. She said in a low voice," It's all my fault. I really don't know anything. I…Is there anything I can help you with?"”
Lingsha wiped her eyes, turned around, and shook her head." Thank you, but... this is our Han family's business... I don't want to talk about it anymore..." Seeing that she was in a better mood, Tian He said happily,""Hehe, if you don't want to say it, then don't say it. Anyway, I'll help you find that medicine! I didn't expect that Lingsha would not only know how to play, but also like what Father said, to save people from danger. He said that this kind of person was the most amazing!”
Lingsha's face turned slightly red as she mumbled,"" What, what, you savage suddenly said such serious words, I really can't react…" Tian He smiled and said to Meng Li,""Mengli, you said that if you see someone pleasing to the eye, you will want to marry him, right?”"Yes." Meng Li nodded.
"That's good!" Tian He laughed. Lingsha, the more I like you, the more I like you. Why don't I marry you? In the future, we can play together and look for anything together!”
As soon as Tian He spoke, time seemed to stop. Lingsha and Mengli widened their eyes and stared at Tian He blankly, not moving at all, as if they did not know him. The Pill Room suddenly became quiet, and the three of them could hear each other's breathing. After a moment, Meng Li could not help but laugh out loud. Lingsha's face became redder and redder as if she was burning up. Tian He felt that the atmosphere was not right and whispered,""Lingsha, did I say something wrong again?”
Lingsha couldn't stand it any longer. She punched Tian He hard, feeling both embarrassed and angry."You! You idiot! Pig head! Marry, marry me! I don't want a savage like you! No, no, that wasn't the problem at all! I'm so angry! I don't know if I did something wrong in my previous life, but I met you in this life because of retribution!”He felt as if his face was on fire. He couldn't stay there any longer and ran to the side while covering his face. " Ling…Lingsha, don't go…" Tian He said anxiously. He wanted to chase after Lingsha when he saw her run away.
Meng Li smiled as she pulled Tian He and asked,""Young Master Yun, you like Lingsha so much that you want to 'marry' her?”"Yeah." Tian He nodded. However, I, I also find you very pleasing to the eye. If it's possible, I'll marry the two of you. In the future, the three of us will play together and look for anything together!”Meng Li held back her laughter with great difficulty and shook her head and said,""Young Master Yun, only girls can get married. Boys can't.”
When Tian He heard Meng Li's words, he was stunned at first, then he said anxiously,""Ah, how could this be? Isn't that boy very pitiful?" Meng Li snickered again. Although she heard that Tian He grew up on the mountain and did not understand the world, she did not expect him to be so silly and cute. Seeing Tian He's confused and anxious expression, he smiled and said,""Young Master Yun, there's no need to think so much. At least Lingsha isn't so sad now. Let's leave this place quickly.”He walked to Lingsha's side and whispered a few words into her ear. Lingsha couldn't help but smile. Although Tian He was still confused, he felt much better when he saw Lingsha happy.
Tian He and the others walked out of the elixir room and returned to the main hall. Most of the ghosts in the underground palace had already disappeared. The remaining ghosts knew how powerful the three of them were and avoided them as much as they could. They no longer dared to provoke them. Lingsha regained her spirit and looked around for a while before finding the way out. She led the two of them through many turns and soon, they left the underground palace through another tunnel. The three of them came out from an extremely hidden exit covered by trees and came to the side of a mountain road.
The air in the underground palace was very turbid. When the three of them returned to the ground, they suddenly smelled the fresh air outside. Mixed with the faint fragrance emitted by the green pines and cypresses around them, they felt refreshed and relaxed. Lingsha looked ahead and smiled." Yes, that's right. I remember that this road is the shortcut to Chen Province!" If we walk faster, we can reach Chenzhou in the afternoon!”He ran into the forest and Lingsha asked curiously,""Hey, what are you doing?" " Oh, that…" Tian He answered. He ran as he spoke. In the blink of an eye, he had run more than ten feet. The two of them could no longer hear him clearly.
Lingsha stomped her feet and said angrily," What? You ran away before you finished speaking!"”However, Meng Li smiled and said," Young Master Yun probably needs to relieve himself. I'm embarrassed to say it. Let's wait for him here."”
Tian He didn't want to go to the toilet. He saw a blue bird flying around in the forest just now, and he was slightly happy. He thought that today's lunch would be settled again. He took the " Jade Waist Bow " and " This is a Sword " that Meng Li had given him and ran over. When it arrived in front of him, he couldn't help but be surprised and delighted. It wasn't a bird flying, but a blue animal with wings on its back. It looked like a young boar, but its head was unusually big, almost taking up half of its entire body. Its face was as small and cute as a newborn baby, and it was babbling something. Opposite it was a huge toad, more than three times bigger than its peers. It stared at the boar, its long tongue sticking out of its mouth. He wanted to entangle it and swallow it whole. The " wild boar " kept dodging, and its cries became more and more urgent. Seeing that his lunch was about to be taken away, Tianhe was not willing to give up. He rushed up and slashed at the toad. The toad was shocked and did not dare to look back. It hurriedly jumped away.
" Looks like the toad isn't that impressive," Tian He said proudly." I don't know why Mengli said it's a lucky item…It's too weak!"”He looked at the flying pig and thought to himself,"" Hmm, it seems that this pig skin is very thin. I don't think I need to peel it off. I can just roast it directly…" The pig flew around the celestial river with a happy expression on its face and babbled something. When Tian He saw that it could fly, he was initially worried that he could not catch it. But when he saw that it was only flying around him, he could not help but feel surprised and puzzled."Eh, why isn't this pig running away? It's different from the other pigs…Hmm, why does it give me the feeling that it looks very courageous? It's rare to see such a brave pig. It's actually not afraid of me. Impressive!”
The pig flew in front of Tian He and barked several times. It nodded at Tian He and smiled brightly. Tian He looked at it carefully and felt that the pig was too small. He couldn't help but feel discouraged.""Sigh, forget it. I'll let you off today. I'll look for you again in the future. Haha, remember to eat more and fatten yourself up.”Seeing that it was really cute, she couldn't help but feel a little fond of it. She waved her hand and said,"Goodbye, flying pig ~ Hehe, I'll call you Courage from now on.”He turned around and walked back the way he came. In a short while, he returned to Lingsha and Mengli's side.
Lingsha saw that Tian He had returned and said unhappily,""Hey, where did you go? Why did you come back so late…Eh, Tianhe, what's that behind you?”He pointed behind Tian He in shock. Tian He turned around and saw Courage flying behind him. Seeing Tian He turn around, Courage smiled at him again.
" Oh, you mean this one?" Tian He laughed." I just saw this flying pig. It's called Courage…Eh, why is it following me?"”Seeing that Courage was following him, he was also surprised. He was very happy." That's great. This pig has been following me all this time. Then, the next time I roast meat, I can…Haha, hahaha…" He couldn't help but laugh.
"Hey, what are you giggling for?" Lingsha asked, feeling both angry and amused. How could a pig fly?”"Isn't it a pig?" Tianhe asked. I think its cry is similar to the wild boar's 'oh-oh ~ oh-oh ~' sound! They should be of the same species, right?" Courage shook his head repeatedly, letting out a whimpering sound. Meng Li listened attentively and asked Heaven River,""Young Master Yun, did you save it from the monster?”
" Yeah," Tian He laughed." But, it should be said that I'm snatching it, hehe."”Meng Li nodded and said," That's it. It said that it's a Five-Poison Beast. It was accidentally targeted by a toad that became a spirit and was almost eaten. It's all thanks to you saving its life. It's very grateful to you.”
"Mengli, you, you can understand what this little thing is saying?" Lingsha asked curiously.”Meng Li said," En, since I was young, I could recognize some voices that ordinary people couldn't hear and words that I couldn't understand. I didn't feel it when I was young. Only when I gradually grew up did I understand that I'm not quite the same as others…" As she spoke, her tone was actually a little lonely and also a little uneasy. Seeing her expression, Lingsha smiled and advised,""Good Mengli, what's wrong with this? Being talented is a good thing. If I had such ability, I would be so happy!”He then looked at Courage carefully and sighed,""So this is the Five Poison Beast! I've heard from my family that it's a very powerful immortal beast. The Five Poison Beads they give birth to can cure all poisons in the world. He did not expect it to be such a small one.”
The more Tian He listened, the more confused he became." Is this non-poisonous beast a pig?" he asked. Also, why is it following me?”Courage mumbled again and Meng Li said,""It said that you saved its life and it is very grateful. It even wants to recognize you as its boss.”Lingsha smiled." This little fellow is really too cute. I didn't expect it to know how to repay kindness."”She suddenly liked Courage. She reached out to touch it, but Courage flew away and went around the Heavenly River, crying out.
Tian He scratched his head and said in confusion,""But…I don't want to be the boss. I thought it was a flying pig and wanted to roast it. But that immortal beast can also be roasted, right?”Courage seemed to have understood what he was saying. He was shocked and quickly flew away. Lingsha was anxious. She stretched out her hand to stop Courage but failed.
Seeing her courage fly away, Lingsha stomped her feet angrily."Are you kidding me? You savage, it's so cute, and you actually want to eat it!”"But…" Lingsha said angrily,"I'm not going to let you go."But what? Annoying! It's all your fault for scaring it away. I haven't even taken a good look at it!”
Seeing Lingsha angry, Meng Li said gently,""Forget it. It's not our pet to begin with. Isn't it good to let it fly freely?”As he spoke, his courage had already flown away. Tian He only lost a meal of roasted meat for the future, so he didn't mind. Lingsha, on the other hand, seemed to have lost a good friend. Her face was resentful and somewhat unwilling. Seeing that their courage had disappeared, they could only give up and continue to walk towards Chen Zhou.
