From the question just now, he understood one thing, that is, it seemed to be very difficult to obtain knowledge about evil gods, so he had to find another way to ask questions.

"I make a wish: I have been exposed to some information about ancient times, which comes from a long time ago. Now, I want to know about the Thousand-Year War mentioned in the jade guide left by the green bamboo that I obtained earlier. For further information, I hope to obtain this knowledge in a safe way. At the same time, I will not receive the attention of certain beings, including evil gods, because of obtaining or paying attention to this knowledge. At the same time..."

Black text soon appeared on the wishing book, and his wish was successfully recorded. According to Zhang Jing's past experience, he now only needs to wait for his wish to come true and change his career.

Of course, some subjective initiative is also needed. Otherwise, if he really squats at home and doesn't go anywhere, Zhang Jing is very worried that there will be an oolong incident like a meteorite falling from the sky and hitting his house.

Therefore, after getting dressed, Zhang Jing walked out of the house and walked aimlessly along the road in front of his house.As he walked, he looked left and right, paying attention to the movements around him.

Chapter 1 The Tomb of the Heavenly Master

About half an hour later, Zhang Jing, who had found nothing, stopped at a small shop on the roadside, ready to buy a bottle of drink to take with him.Just as he was paying, the conversation between two people who were also paying attracted his attention.

"I came back from a walk in the morning and passed by the Banshan Pavilion. They said that an ancient tomb was dug during road construction. It seemed to be a big tomb. There were many people picking up things there. When I saw it, the police had already arrived... "

"Really? I don't know which family's tomb it belongs to... I remember when I was a child, when the mountains were opened in this area, several large tombs were dug..."

"I thought the tomb of Hou Qi might be bigger. After all, Linzhou was the capital of Southern Qi..."

Zhang Jing listened to the conversation between the two and turned around to see two old men, dressed as if they had returned from morning exercise. One of them was carrying a water bottle.

"Ban Shan Pavilion..." Zhang Jing took a bottle of orange juice and walked out of the small shop. He unscrewed the cap and took a sip, thinking in his mind.

This place is not unfamiliar to him. Not far from here, near Yun Lake, is a pavilion in the mountains. It is said that there are some cultural allusions, but he is not clear about it.The mountain roads in that area have become dilapidated due to disrepair. Recently, I heard that an old man who was doing morning exercises fell and injured, so I heard that an engineering team is renovating the road there. Could it be that my wish must be fulfilled in this matter? superior?

Thinking like this, Zhang Jing decided to go over and take a look. The next moment, he made a seal with his hand and used a concealment method. The next moment, his figure flashed on the branches of a big tree nearby, and he identified it. In the direction, a few ups and downs have already faded away.

....................................

承和36年西历2016年1月6日09:41云湖半山亭

Banshan Pavilion is located on the gentle slope at the foot of the mountain. According to legend, it was built by Sun Li and Sun Banshan, the prefects in the early years of this dynasty. It has been renovated several times since then and is now considered a less popular cultural attraction on the bank of Yunhu Lake.Most of the people who came and went for morning exercises stopped to rest again.

At this time, a flat slope about a hundred meters away from the mid-level pavilion had been completely surrounded by ropes tied with small flags. There was a collapse in the ground, revealing a spacious entrance to the tomb passage.Some people with professional equipment were cleaning the soil at the entrance to the tomb passage.

"Dear viewers, the person I am interviewing now is Professor Li Zichen from the Department of History of Southeast University. Professor Li just led the team to complete the rescue excavation of Wang Dingbang's tomb not long ago. Among them, there were many wonderful discoveries. This time the tomb, It was also Professor Li’s team who conducted the excavation, and we are very pleased that Professor Li was able to accept our interview.”

Not far from the entrance to the tomb passage, Professor Li Zichen, dressed in work clothes, was being interviewed by the media who had just arrived after hearing the news.Then a beautiful female reporter put the microphone marked with the "Southeast News" logo to the mouth of Professor Li Zichen, who was over fifty years old and had a sparse head, and asked:

"Professor Li, as we all know, you are an authority in archeology. I saw that the excavation in front has stopped. Can I ask why this is?"

"In this regard, our team has just made some unexpected discoveries, but it is not yet easy to make a final judgment. Unexpected things may happen, so we will stop now."

"You mean, your team has made a very important discovery, right?" The female reporter was obviously also a very shrewd character, and she quickly caught the unfinished meaning in Li Zichen's words.

"This... we have indeed made some discoveries, but... we still need further confirmation."

"Can you disclose some information first?" The female reporter asked excitedly: "I think everyone will be looking forward to it."

Out of caution as a scholar, Li Zichen obviously didn't want to say more at first, but he couldn't stand the female reporter's repeated questioning.At the same time, more or less out of some considerations to enhance his own popularity, he finally relented: "Then I will briefly say it, but let me state in advance that this is only a preliminary discovery, and we need further excavations to prove it."

"As you can see, the collapse is located at the entrance to the tomb," Li Zichen turned around half-way and pointed at the excavation site behind him. At the same time, the photographer behind the female reporter also moved his lens there.

"This is relatively lucky, which means that the main structure of the tomb should not be damaged, and the funerary objects inside will be better protected." Li Zichen continued: "What we can confirm at present is that the tomb The standards are very high and it is not an ordinary folk cemetery. Especially, we found an imperial monument at the entrance of the tomb passage."

"Imperial Monument?" The female reporter was immediately interested. As a citizen of the empire, she understood the majesty of imperial power better than Zhang Jing's previous life, so she naturally also knew the news value here.

"Yes, looking at the inscription, it seems to be the inscription written by Emperor Xuanzong of Qi. If the inscription is true, then the owner of the tomb buried here is most likely that..."

Li Zichen's face turned solemn, and he cupped his hands toward the tomb: "Tongyuan Miaoyou is the true king of Taoism, and the heavenly master Song Shouxuan."

As soon as these words were spoken, the female reporter's eyes instantly lit up. Celestial Master Song Shouxuan, one of the four great Celestial Masters of Xuanmen, was said to be a famous Taoist priest in the Southern Qi Dynasty.This is really big news!

The Taoist priests in this world are somewhat similar to the Taoist priests in Zhang Jing's previous life. Because Taoism has always preached the theory of self-transcendence, ascension, and immortality, its practitioners are called Taoist priests.

Being listed as one of the Four Heavenly Masters, this Song Celestial Master is naturally not comparable to ordinary Taoist priests. His life legend can be called the most exciting among the four Celestial Masters. It is said that he was taught several volumes of heavenly books by immortals. There is a record in an ancient book about the deeds of the Heavenly Master of the Song Dynasty.Even at that time, after the envoy Fusang returned to the country, he praised his "superb skills, unpredictable ghosts and gods, and beyond the comprehension of ordinary people" in the memorial he gave to the king.

It is said that the reason why Qi Xuanzong was obsessed with Xuanmen all his life, and even the name of his temple was named "Xuan", was because of this Song Tianshi.For this reason, in the field of history, some scholars denounced it as "monsters bringing harm to the country." However, due to the huge influence of Taoism in this world, this view has not become mainstream after all.

In history, the reason why Song Shouxuan was regarded as one of the four heavenly masters was mainly because he created the strange book "The Genealogy of the Immortals of the Ten Directions", which divided the previously complicated Xuanmen's sacrifices to gods and immortals from all over the world. They are divided into nine levels, upper and lower, thus unified within a system.

Unlike monotheistic religions such as Shengqijiao in the West, Xuanmen and Futu in the East both worship polytheism and do not admit that there is only one god in the world. However, before Song Shouxuan, the gods worshiped by Xuanmen in various places were different and complex, with different schools. There are still many discords among them, and their opinions are not consistent with each other.

After Song Shouxuan wrote "The Genealogy of the Immortals of the Ten Directions of Shangzhen", he traveled far and wide, visited famous mountains and grand temples, and almost single-handedly persuaded various sects, and finally unified the various Taoist beliefs that were originally messy and did not belong to each other. within a system.Therefore, his evaluation within Taoism is quite high, and he is respected as one of the "Four Heavenly Masters".

Most of the legends about Master Song's manifestations came about during his wanderings.

According to historical records, this Song Celestial Master did not live long, and he "died from his corpse and ascended to immortality" when he was only over 40 years old.Of course, this has also become evidence for some people to prove that they "cheat the world and steal the reputation."

In any case, there are too many historical controversies and mysteries about Song Tianshi, so that a large number of film and television comics in later generations have more or less included him as one of the characters.

"Professor Li, could you please tell me more about this inscription?" the female reporter asked excitedly.

However, no matter how much she pressed, Professor Li was unwilling to reveal anything more. He just repeatedly emphasized that the people involved in this tomb were too sensitive and involved religious figures.

Therefore, he has communicated with the government. The next step may be made by the government cultural relics authority and the Religious Affairs Bureau before confirming whether to further excavate it and how to excavate it.

Such an answer made the female reporter a little disappointed, but she also knew that this kind of thing was reasonable. It was not that Professor Li was fooling her casually. After all, it was easy to accidentally excavate the tombs of religious figures recorded in history books. We must be extremely cautious in causing mass incidents.

Of course, it was absolutely impossible for her to leave at this time, so after interviewing Li Zichen, she sent the first-hand news back to the headquarters.Then I found a seat with the photographer and other team members and sat down, ready to wait and see if there would be any further information.

At this moment, Zhang Jing appeared silently on a tree more than 50 meters away from the excavation site, carefully looking at the excavation site not far away.

Soon, he noticed that there was a camera set up outside the site, tied to a tree nearby. The camera was always facing the direction of the entrance to the tomb. Judging from the situation, it should be used to take photos for archiving. Zhang Jing fell to the ground and picked up a A small pebble, tossed casually.

The pebble accurately hit the camera, tilting it 90 degrees and facing another direction. However, this tiny change was not noticed by anyone at this time.

After further observation and seeing that there was no photography equipment pointed at this place, Zhang Jing jumped lightly, crossed the surrounding isolation line, and walked to the excavation site.

He just walked straight towards the entrance of the tomb. When he came to the wide entrance of the tomb passage, he saw a black stone tablet being cleaned out at the entrance of the tomb passage. The carvings of clouds and dragons around the stone tablet were extremely complicated, and the center of it was engraved with seal characters. There was the word "imperial system" on it, and below it was a neat inscription in regular script. Zhang Jing scanned it briefly. This inscription should be used to commemorate someone, but Zhang Jing didn't have time to read the specific content above, so he simply took it out. I pointed my phone at the inscription and took a photo, planning to read it carefully when I get back.

Chapter 121 The sword that cannot be looked at directly

There were several staff members around him who were cleaning the soil around the entrance to the tomb and the imperial monument. However, these people seemed to have not seen Zhang Jing who was so close at hand.

And Zhang Jing did not leave any footprints in the areas he walked, as if he was just a non-existent ghost.

Zhang Jing casually picked up a flashlight from a toolbox on the ground, held it in his hand, and walked straight along the tomb passage to the depths.The tomb passage is very deep, but not high. It is only slightly higher than Zhang Jing standing straight. The four walls are made of stone slabs, and the stone slabs are carved with various kinds of cranes, clouds, boys, fairies, four elephants, and eight trigrams. And so on, patterns with Taoist religious significance.

Although the tomb passage was dark, Zhang Jing could still clearly see the surrounding scene with the faint light coming from the entrance of the tomb passage.

After walking forward for about fifty meters, Zhang Jing saw that the front was blocked. In front of him was a stone wall made of stone bricks. In the center of the stone wall was carved a lifelike three-layered stone door. The stone door opened on the opposite side and was carved with Copper nails, pull tabs.Two huge stone lions are carved on both sides of the stone gate, staring coldly ahead like tomb beasts.

Zhang Jing took a closer look. It was obvious that this stone door was carved and not a real door that could be opened. When the door was made, there was obviously no means to open it.

Zhang Jing guessed that behind this stone wall, there should be the real tomb chamber.

However, before that, it needs to be confirmed again.

Zhang Jing stretched out his right hand, made a fist, and lightly hammered the stone wall...

"Boom~~~~~~~~" The entire stone wall trembled, and a dull sound came from the stone wall.

Zhang Jing reached out and punched the stone wall of the tomb passage on the right: "Servant~~~" his voice was much deeper.

Zhang Jing hammered at the stone wall again: "Boom~~~~~~~~"

Nodding, Zhang Jing was able to confirm that the back of the stone wall should be hollow.It looks like it is indeed a tomb.

The next moment, his figure disappeared in place.

....................................

"Senior Brother Yu, did you hear anything just now?" At the entrance of the tomb, a thin young man who was cleaning up the loose soil at the entrance of the tomb was listening suspiciously.

"What's the sound?" Not far away from him, another slightly fatter young man who was using a small brush to remove the soil embedded in the inscriptions on the imperial monument raised his head and asked inexplicably. .

"Just now, I seemed to hear a sound coming from the tomb passage..." The thin young man said with some uncertainty.

Both of them are students at Southeast University, students of Professor Li Zichen, and they have a good relationship on weekdays.

"Tum~~~~~~~~" As soon as he finished speaking, another voice came from the tomb passage. This time, both of them heard it clearly.

The two looked at each other and swallowed at the same time. Finally, it was "Senior Brother Yu" who said, "How about... we go and notify the teacher first?"

"Yes, yes, this is a bit weird, I'd better tell the teacher first..."

....................................

Not caring about the trouble his behavior caused to the two students, Zhang Jing had already appeared behind the brick wall.

Relying on the skills he mastered from "The Secret Scroll of Heaven's Escape", Zhang Jing hid in the interlayer of space and easily passed through the physical barrier in front of him.

Behind the bricks was an empty tomb. The surroundings were pitch black. He couldn't see his fingers. No light could shine in. Zhang Jing immediately held his breath. Now, he can survive in a place without oxygen. He It is even suspected that with the strength of his body, he can even stand in the universe without protection.

However, his current eyesight was still unable to see clearly the surrounding situation in this complete lack of light, so Zhang Jing took out the flashlight he had picked up before.

A bright white light shone from the flashlight. There was still a tomb passage ahead, and the ground was covered with a thin layer of floating dust.

Zhang Jing looked around for a moment, and then continued to walk inward. His steps were very light, and with a tap of his toes, he slid forward several meters as if floating.So much so that there were not many traces left on the dust on the ground.

In this case, even if there are so-called "mechanisms" in the tomb passage, they cannot be touched. After all, in ancient tombs, most of these mechanisms are of the "pressure" type.

Of course, Zhang Jing was still very careful. After all, this wish involved the "evil god". He held a flashlight in his right hand and put on an arm shield with his left hand, ready to block and protect at any time.

However, I didn't encounter any surprises until I reached the end of the tomb passage.In front is a large octagonal tomb, which is slightly larger than half a standard basketball court.

There is also a stone door on one side of the tomb, which seems to lead to another tomb.

Zhang Jing used a flashlight to illuminate the environment in the tomb. There were a large number of furnishings in the tomb, from tables and chairs to books, ornaments, porcelain, various cabinets, and clothing.

There are also some pottery figurines made into boys and girls. Tao Yong is lifelike, but in this environment, these dull-looking figurines look a bit weird.

It is a characteristic of traditional Eastern tombs to serve the dead as if they were servants, and this tomb clearly reflects this characteristic.

On the walls surrounding the tomb, murals are carefully painted in bright colors.

Zhang Jing was amazed that these murals still maintained vivid colors after so many years. However, recalling some trivial knowledge he had seen in his previous life, he roughly guessed that this should be the reason why the tomb had always been empty. The circulating air contains a large amount of inert gases, so that these paintings oxidize very slowly. Once the tomb is actually opened, the colors of these paintings will probably fade in a short time.Zhang Jing once heard that the terracotta warriors and horses in previous lives faced this problem.

What was painted on the murals could be seen to be patterns related to gods. What Zhang Jing noticed was that these murals were not traditional Xuanmen legends, but a large number of battle scenes. There were many gods and men on the paintings. They had angry eyes and were holding various weapons, and those who opposed them were some strange and vicious demons.

This kind of murals of gods and men subduing demons is actually not common in traditional Taoist paintings.Zhang Jing picked up his mobile phone and carefully photographed these murals.

The top of the tomb is carved with the innate Bagua pattern, which is a typical Taoist symbol.

At the next moment, two golden flames lit up in Zhang Jing's eyes, and at the same time, in his field of vision, seven large and small light spots of different colors appeared in this eight-gram-shaped tomb. .

His eyes narrowed slightly. This was the first time Zhang Jing had seen so many powerful treasures concentrated at once outside of Dongtian.I suddenly understood in my heart that perhaps my wish should be here.

Among all the treasures, the one that attracted Zhang Jing's attention the most was a sword hanging on the wall.The reason is very simple. The halo emanating from this sword is actually green with cyan color. In Zhang Jing's field of vision, although the halo is not very strong, but if he looks closely, it gives him a feeling like the Nine Heavens Thunder. The dazzling feeling of punishment, even if he examined it carefully, and the unexplainable depth made him dare not look further.

This is the first time Zhang Jing has seen a halo of this color. Even the halo he saw when he obtained the Demon Refining Pot was not of this color.Zhang Jing was thinking as he looked at the sword carefully, trying to look deeper. However, at this moment, a strong burning sensation rose from his eyes...

"Ah!!" Zhang Jing screamed, immediately retreated from the state of "Refining Eyes with True Fire", and reached out to cover his eyes.

After a while, Zhang Jing slowly recovered from the burning sensation and wiped away the tears in his eyes. He felt it for a while. Fortunately, his eyes were not really injured, but even so, he could not see it again in a short time. Used "Real Fire Eye Refining".

This was the first time Zhang Jing encountered such a thing when using real fire pupils, but Zhang Jing also knew that this just showed that the long sword in front of him was extraordinary and was not a bad thing.

Of course, to prevent accidents, Zhang Jing did not pick up the sword first, but started with other items. Among the remaining six items, except for a key and a silver box, the rest were all jade tablets or jade tokens. After Gui and Zhang Jing collected these items, they simply went to Lishan Cave and put all the collected things in, and then returned to the tomb.

Still not touching the sword on the wall, Zhang Jing first chose to go to the stone door on the side of the tomb and shined a flashlight inside. He saw that the space inside was small and rectangular, with a complicatedly carved stone coffin placed in the middle. It seemed that, This is where the remains of the tomb owner are located.

The golden flames in Zhang Jing's eyes had not receded yet. He looked at the stone coffin, only to see darkness in the coffin without any light.As Zhang Jing's cultivation level improved, he became more and more proficient in using the secret technique of "Refining Eyes with True Fire". At present, some barriers such as stone slabs can no longer prevent him from spying on the treasures behind. This is just like when he was gambling on jade, he could see through When you pass the stone skin, you can see the stone heart.

Therefore, Zhang Jing can basically confirm that there are no items with traces of power hidden in the coffin.

In this case, there is no need to open the coffin to find out what is going on. After all, this behavior is still quite impolite in traditional folk customs.

After thinking about it, Zhang Jing straightened his clothes, bowed to the coffin and raised his hands: "Senior, this junior had no choice but to take a few of your belongings. I hope you won't blame me. I thank you here."

After doing this, Zhang Jing turned around and walked to the sword hanging on the wall. This sword was wider than the ordinary swords used by the elderly in the park for fitness. The sword body was wrapped in the scabbard. , so it is impossible to see the specific style. We can only see that the sword grid and the hilt are made of quite strange materials. They are neither gold nor wood. There are mysterious patterns coiled on it. The tail of the hilt is carved with a dragon head, with its mouth open in a gesture of killing. , lifelike.The scabbard seemed to be made of some kind of wood, with fish skin wrapped around it, but perhaps because of the passage of time, it had become somewhat rotten, and the fish skin had become loose.

Chapter 122 The Heavenly Master Appears

Zhang Jing withdrew the "Refined Eyes of True Fire". Under ordinary vision, the sword was like an ordinary ancient object, without any strange aura.

Reaching out, Zhang Jing carefully held the sword with his right hand and took it off the wall.

It seems that nothing happened.

This sword is heavy to hold. Compared to an iron sword of the same size, it is at least twice as heavy, which is very strange.Zhang Jing grabbed the scabbard with his left hand and pulled it out. The scabbard was rotten. As soon as he pulled it out, a large piece of the scabbard fell off and fell to the ground.

This turned out to be a broken sword, and it was quite damaged. Only about one-third of the sword body remained, and the rest was missing.

Zhang Jing ignored the fallen scabbard and raised the blade to take a closer look with a flashlight. He saw that only one-third of the sword was left. At first glance, it gave people an inexplicable feeling of tragedy.The sword body is dark, and I don’t know what kind of metal it is made of. The surface is mottled and uneven. The blade is full of jagged gaps and cracks. The sword is covered with blood-red rust-like lines. However, Zhang Jing He scraped it with his hand, only to find that the "rust stains" could not be touched. No matter how hard he applied force, he could not move at all.

You must know that with his current finger strength, it is easy to rub iron as hard as clay.The material of this sword is obviously unusual.

And just on the sword body close to the sword grid, there are two clear divination characters-"Tianchu" carved on it.

Zhang Jing experimentally used the Qi in his body and his spiritual thoughts to refine the long sword in his hand at a specific frequency. This method of sacrificing and controlling magical weapons was something he had also used on the "Demon Refining Pot" before. Pass.
