Chapter 159 Green Ox Tomb
After being introduced by Master Duomu, Wu Yan and Mo Ao had a certain understanding of the personnel involved in this so-called meeting of chance. In addition to the three bosses Hu, among the other six people, there are two monks in the middle stage of foundation building. One is an old woman named Madam Jing who is a casual cultivator, and the other is a disciple of the Thousand Illusions Sect of the Eastern Wilds. , named Liu Yefei, is a handsome young man who looks to be in his twenties, but judging from his speech and behavior, his actual age is probably more than a hundred years old. After all, the disciples of Qianhuan Sect are famous for their powerful illusion skills.
There are also four monks who are in the early stage of foundation building. The two casual cultivators are a pair of brothers from Sanchuan Prefecture. The elder brother is called Ba Dingtian and the younger brother is Ba Lidi. The other two, one is Bai Mei Gong from Penglai Island in the East China Sea, and the other is Zen Master Xiudu from the Pagoda Palace.
Brothers Wu Yan and Mo Ao are currently discussing matters in the stone room where Wu Yan lives in the west. Inside the stone chamber, Mo Ao arranged a simple but special soundproof array.
"Brother Mo, there is something fishy about this time." Wu Yan said with a slightly worried expression.
"Yes, these people seem to have no connection. If they really don't know the inside story, I'm afraid they will think that there is a great opportunity to crack the Green Ox Tomb in the ancient monk's cave. You see, among the twelve people involved in this matter , let alone the Taoist Duomu who initiated this matter, the two Buddhist monks Xiuyuan and Xiudu from the Buddha Palace are in the same group, and they are also disciples of the Demon Mansion. Looking at the casual cultivator named Hu, They are also disciples of the Demon Mansion. Now, there are four disciples of the Demon Mansion. I even suspect that Mrs. Jing is called a Sanxiu, but she is actually a member of the Demon Mansion. Among these people, the Baidu Sanren of the Wandu Sect. Liu Yefei from Qianhuan Sect and Baimei Gong from Penglai Island must have been deceived by Duomu Taoist, and they really believed his words. As for the two Ba brothers from Sanchuan Mansion, they are probably the fourth disciple of Tianmo Sect. I'm afraid this trip will be extremely dangerous!" The second senior brother, who has always been proud, although his temper is a bit arrogant, is actually quite thoughtful.
Wu Yan nodded. If the analysis of the five masters and apprentices in the Red Rock Canyon cave was correct, and if the Demon Mansion and the Heavenly Demon Sect really colluded together, they must have excavated the Green Ox Tomb in the ancient monk's cave this time. , these two disciples must join forces. Seven of the twelve people are theirs, and after their dreams come true, it’s hard to imagine how much better the final result will be.
Mo Ao has naturally been to this valley within the valley, because he knows why the spiritual energy distribution in the caves and stone chambers on all sides is like this. This is the gate formation mechanism of the ancient Xiu Cave Mansion.
On all sides of the entrance of this ancient cave, the most common but difficult to break the Four Elephants Spirit Gathering Formation is arranged. In the cave below the three stone chambers in the east, there are the Canglong Seven-Star Stone, the Suzaku Seven-Star Stone in the south, the Xuanwu Seven-Star Stone in the north, and the White Tiger Seven-Star Stone in the west. However, Qingniu Zhenren broke through the White Tiger Seven-Star Stone Array Gate in the west and broke into the ancient monk's cave. After the Seven Star Formation Stone was broken, the effect of gathering souls naturally became worse and worse, gradually becoming inferior to the other three sides.
The Suzaku Seven-Star Stone Array Gate and the Xuanwu Seven-Star Stone Array Gate are connected to the White Tiger Seven-Star Stone Array Gate. They are gradually weakening, and the effect of gathering spirits is also weakening. Looking at this situation, I am afraid that in the next few decades, the spirit gathering effects of these three aspects will become worse and worse.
However, although the gate of the White Tiger Seven-Star Stone Array has been broken open, the entire Four-Elephant Spirit Gathering Array has not been completely cracked. Therefore, if you want to enter the cave of the ancient monk, you naturally have to wait for its cave door to open by itself.
This ancient cultivator's cave originally opened automatically every twenty-eight months, and each time it was opened, it only lasted twenty-eight days. Such a weird method of opening the cave door does not look like a cave where monks retreat, but it looks more like a place where people are imprisoned. However, there is indeed a well-equipped cave dwelling room below, and all kinds of things that monks use in daily life are available below. Any monk who goes down there will naturally think that this is the cave of a monk in ancient times. However, the things in the cave are really not that good, but the portal restrictions above the cave are so powerful, which is quite puzzling.
The White Tiger Seven-Star Stone Formation Gate is absolutely impossible to crack with the abilities of these foundation-building monks. This weird, nameless cave was opened more than 1,400 years ago by a powerful senior in the Nascent Soul stage named Qing Niu Zhenren who spent several years. However, after the senior went in, he didn't seem to find anything useful, so he sealed the place in anger. Hundreds of years later, that senior master who was already in the stage of becoming a god felt that the catastrophe of ascension was imminent, so for some reason he chose to survive the tribulation here.
Unexpectedly, the Four Elephant Spirit Gathering Formation in this cave actually had incredible power, helping him withstand most of the power of the heavenly tribulation, and finally helped him successfully survive the catastrophe. This senior also Therefore, he was able to ascend to the fairy world smoothly.
Therefore, some people call this place the Immortal Tribulation Cave. It's a pity that the senior who ascended to transcend the tribulation, because all the power of the Four Elephants Spirit Gathering Array was used to resist the thunder tribulation, so that most of the power of the array was almost consumed. Moreover, because of the tribulation, , this place was covered with tribulation ashes and dusted again. Until later, someone was unwilling to accept it and dug up the ashes along the cracked valley, allowing the Immortal Tribulation Cave to see the light of day again.
Old Taoist Domu invited everyone to come here this time for a sealed tomb in the ancient monk's cave. What was sealed in the tomb was said to be a green bull beast raised by the ancestor who ascended to the immortal world.
This green bull beast was said to have been cultivated to the point of transforming into another form. The reason why it fell here was because it helped its master resist the catastrophe. Master Qingniu was so sad that he buried the bones of the Qingniu beast here and sealed them with a special prohibition method.
Originally, it was absolutely impossible for everyone to discover the sealed Green Ox Tomb. However, the formation of the underground cave that was originally built was too strange. Unexpectedly, after nearly a thousand years, the four-elephant spirit gathering formation would have completely changed. The magic circle is gradually recovering its power. The Green Ox Tomb is right next to the eye of the Four Elephants Spirit Gathering Array. A few years ago, Duomu Lao Tao accidentally discovered that there was a Green Ox Tomb in the underground cave. He was overjoyed and wanted to open it, but who knew that this would happen? Although the sealing restriction of the Green Ox Tomb was obliterated by the power of the Four Elephant Spirit Gathering Formation, there was actually a forbidden formation inside it. With his cultivation, he could not open it at all.
What made him even more unexpected was that there was a time limit for the opening and closing of the underground cave door. This also led to the fact that he later invited a group of people to come here, only to find that the door of the Four Elephants Spirit Gathering Formation had been completely closed. closure.
After searching through the classics, Master Duomu finally understood the origin of the name of this magic circle. At the same time, he also began to plot, looking for helpers again, and organizing a second expedition into the underground cave to excavate the Green Ox Tomb.
"Senior brother, since you have entered this cave before, have you seen the Green Bull Tomb that Duo Mu mentioned?" Wu Yan always felt that Duo Mu's words were somewhat inaccurate, as if he was hiding something.
"Of course not. Jin Jian and I were inadvertently led here by the thief Feng Jiuzhong, and were trapped here for twenty-eight months. If there really was the Green Ox Tomb here, how could we let him go? Pass the opportunity to investigate?" Thinking of this incident, Mo Ao still felt uncontrollably depressed.
At that time, he didn't know that Feng Jiuzhong was the murderer of Mo Lin. The reason why he traced Feng Jiuzhong was because an artifact worn by Feng Jiuzhong was given to Mo Lin by Master Jin, so that he could have some kind of induction. And Feng Jiuzhong had a guilty conscience and changed his appearance. At first he didn't dare to meet Mo Ao and others. Later, he became desperate and killed many of the Jin Ling Peak disciples who were following him. He also brought some of the brothers with the highest cultivation levels here in an attempt to suffocate them below.
However, what Feng Jiuzhong didn't expect was that several people had been running around for a long time because they were chasing him. They were well prepared with food, water, and even things like Bigu Pill. Although Feng Jiuzhong trapped them here for twenty-eight months, he was not able to trap them to death.
After a few people came out, they could no longer trace the whereabouts of the ninth level seal, so they had no choice but to return to the Cultivation Sect in frustration, and the matter ended up being settled. If the variable Wu Yan had not appeared, I am afraid that the masters and disciples of Five Elements Peak might not be sure that Mo Lin really died in the hands of Feng Jiuzhong.
Having been trapped in this underground cave for a full twenty-eight months, one can imagine how familiar Mo Ao will be with the terrain below. Regardless of whether Duomu Lao Dao has any conspiracy, Mo Ao is familiar with the terrain below, which is always a good thing. Even if they really have some conspiracy, I believe that with Mo Ao's advantage, the two of them can be considered to have the upper hand. .
Besides, if this advantage is used properly, it may not be possible to deal with these people one by one or get rid of them and trap them here.
"Junior brother, I have nothing to do these days, so I will take this opportunity to draw and burn a map of the underground cave below for you, so that you can familiarize yourself with the terrain in advance, in case something happens and I am too late to take care of you. , you won’t get lost in there.” Mo Ao thought for a while, suddenly tapped his eyebrows with his index finger, and said to Wu Yan.
"Well, that's fine. No matter what the outcome is this time, one thing can be confirmed. Let's see if the Demon Mansion really controls the Buddha Palace and colludes with the Heavenly Demon Sect. If so, we have to go back to that place We have to hide from him in the underground cave under Hongye Peak for more than ten or twenty years to avoid this catastrophe of good and evil. We, the Dawn Faction, have only a small number of people. If we don’t preserve our strength, how will we have any chance in the future? Carry forward? Brother Mo, are you right?" When he said the next few words, Wu Yan winked at Mo Ao and said with a smile.
