"Those who are facing the battle, they all move forward in groups. Every nine characters should always be consecrated, and they are omnipotent. The key points are not annoying, that's what it means."
This passage is recorded in "Baopuzi", written by Ge Hong, a Taoist leader in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. He mentioned the Nine Secrets in it, but he didn't explain its true meaning.
In this day and age, when it comes to the Nine Secrets, most people don't know about it, thinking that it came from Japan. I don't know, it originated from China, and Dongmi made a mistake in transcribing, and mistakenly wrote Lin, Bing, Dou, Zhe, Jie, Array, Column, Zai, Qianqian.
Tracing back to the source, the Nine Secrets can be found in the ancient book "Baopuzi" in our country, but many people regard the nine characters copied by mistake as the truth, which makes people feel a little speechless.
Ye Fan has been in and out of many cultural relics collections that are not open to the public during these days, and read many isolated copies. He wanted to find the secret practice of "Baopuzi", but he was disappointed. What he saw was the one that was passed down in the world kind.
From the records in "Baopuzi", it can be seen that the Nine Secrets have existed since ancient times, and they were not created by Ge Hong. It is a pity that he did not explain them in detail and did not know the true meaning.
All the monks who know the ancient times are well aware that the origin of these nine characters is too great, and few people know their true meaning since ancient times. It is impossible for Ge Hong to say it in "Baopuzi".
As a great sage, Daxia Longque can look down on the entire ancient star. He was still alive in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and finally had a world-shattering battle with Ge Hong, and then disappeared.
Although these people are descendants of the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow, they don't know the outcome of that battle. There are only two guesses. One is that the ancestor was sealed, and the other is that he went outside the territory.
Ge Hong, can be called a generation of heavenly wizards in the history of Taoism, the World Honored Little Immortal, through the ages, how many people can get the word "immortal"? That's enough to explain his astonishment.
His family has a long history of learning, and he wrote Hongfeng. His uncle was a famous monk named Ge Xuan at that time. It was he who led Ge Hong to the road of Taoism, which made him shine in Taoism.
Ge Hong lived in seclusion in Luofu Mountain in his later years. Many people in later generations searched for it, but found nothing. His amazing Qi training formula has not been passed down to the world.
Ye Fan didn't make things difficult for the Longque family, asked a lot, learned a lot of secrets, and then left. He walked all the way along the trend of the terrain and entered Lushan Mountain.
In his opinion, the branch of the Great Xia dragonfinch lived in seclusion in Jiujiang, but it was just a dragon energy from that purple dragon vein. He thought that there must be a more terrifying clan in the real Lushan Mountain.
However, as soon as he came here, he frowned for a while. This purple dragon has been exhausted, and there is not much purple energy overflowing. It will become a dead dragon in tens or hundreds of years.
If the world continues like this, sooner or later, the earth will become a lawless place, a withered star, and no one can cultivate.
Many people know Lushan Mountain from Li Bai's poem of the eternal masterpiece. The silver waterfall falls like the Milky Way, hanging in the nine heavens, which is very spectacular.
Ye Fan was silent, he felt a kind of silence, nothing would last forever, the spiritual energy in this place was almost exhausted, and it was difficult to continue.
In this place, he didn't meet any clan, but sensed some ancient magic circles, he sank into the ground, wanting to see what happened.
As soon as he came down, he was startled. He saw an ancient cave, winding downwards, and he didn't know where it was leading. There were bursts of murderous intent overflowing, and ordinary monks would definitely not be able to resist it.
Although Xiaosong is simple, he has cultivated to the secret realm of the Dao Palace, but when he came to this place, he felt restless, his glistening purple hair stood on end, very disturbed.
Ye Fan propped up a light curtain, protected it inside, and walked down step by step, wanting to see what magic circle the ancient monks had set up here.
The cave is very deep, leading directly into a huge underground palace below. In the end, there are forks and ancient caves everywhere. Ordinary people will get lost if they don't go far.
Moreover, the murderous intent became more intense, and he guessed that even the monks in the Dragon Transformation Realm couldn't bear it, and staying for a long time would definitely damage their health.
"There are no ancient survivors who practiced in Lushan Mountain. It is probably related to this. This is obviously an extinct place. After a long time, it can melt away the Taoism and cut off the mana. For ordinary people, it is harmless."
Ye Fan went deeper for several miles, and the underground palace became even more massive. It was as quiet as death, the ground was dry and hard, and the rocks were mottled. No one had visited for many years.
In the end, he came to the depths of the underground palace, which is the heart of Lushan Mountain, where the flames are burning and lifeless, and there is a huge altar in front of it, which is locked by iron chains.
Arriving at this place, the murderous aura became substantive, like a clanging killing sword, even a leader-level figure couldn't bear it and couldn't get close. Moreover, there was a fiery flame rushing towards it, which turned out to be the essence of fire, and it would turn into ashes if it touched it. If Ye Fan hadn't had the bodhi seed in his body, it would be difficult for Ye Fan to stay here for a long time even if he was a holy body.
Xiao Song grabbed the corner of Ye Fan's clothes, nervously, his big eyes rolled around, looking frightened.
Ye Fan didn't stop, and took a few steps forward, and finally saw what was on the altar at the end of the underground palace, his expression changed in an instant.
The iron chain made of unknown material was shining with a cold black light, even this kind of fire spirit could not be melted, locking a person on the bloody altar, a breath of time rushed over, as if there were thousands of people years.
I don't know if it was the reflection of the fire, or the hair of that person was always like this, messy like red weeds, and there was almost no flesh and blood on his body, only dry bones.
Ye Fan's eyes flickered, and he stood there motionless watching. What a powerful person he was, he was trapped here, and the leader couldn't get close to him even with this murderous intent.
It's a pity that after endless years passed, it was impossible for this person to still be alive. The fire essence burned him until he was skinny, and if you look closely, his torso and head have been severed.
At that time, his opponents seemed to be afraid of his resurrection, so they locked him here, suffered thousands of years of torture, and locked him on the altar to obliterate his god with fire essence.
Ye Fan didn't get any closer, because it wasn't worth it for a dead person, because he found that there were killing formations engraved on the altar, most of which were saint-level, and there was no need to take risks.
"Huh!"
Suddenly, Ye Fan was taken aback. When he stood in the air and looked down from the top, he saw a stone picture engraved on the altar, which was clearly visible.
"This is… "
He opened his third eye and found that it looked like a topographic map with complicated mountains and rivers, and he didn't know where it was referring to. What frightened him the most was that this stone carving was made more than a hundred years ago, which is incomparable to the age of iron chains and altars.
Ye Fan took a closer look, and was even more surprised that it was left by the person whose torso, limbs, and head were all separated, and it was forcibly carved by the right arm locked by an iron chain.
"What kind of person is this? At least he was trapped here in the ancient times, and he lived until more than a hundred years ago..."
Ye Fan was convinced that he was already dead at this time, and he had no life left. Most likely, he had finished carving the stone map and fulfilled his last wish, and that was the end of it.
"Back then, he was locked here. Could it be that someone wanted to force him to hand over this secret?"
He took down the stone map carefully, and didn't stay for long. It was a Jedi set up in ancient times, and there might be some unknown danger. After a while, he came to the ground and left.
Ye Fan is in Jiujiang, Jiangxi Province, he is not in a hurry to go back, he wants to go to another place in the province... Longhu Mountain.
Longhu Mountain is the ancestral home of Zhengyi. It has the status and function of inheriting the past and opening up the future in the history of Taoism, and has great influence.
However, Ye Fan's cell phone rang at this time, interrupting his trip and had to return to City B.
Xu Qiong looked uneasy and asked him for help, because Yang Xiao was about to go south and enter Baling Mountain to explore the tomb of the Warring States Period.
"Can't you just tell him not to go?"
"I've said it before, but this nerd is usually dull. If he really makes up his mind, he won't be able to bring back nine cows. He said that he doesn't need to go deep into the ground, and just wait outside to verify the cultural relics."
Ye Fan nodded when he heard the words, and told her to rest assured that he would go all the way south with this team of archaeologists to Jiangling County.
It is said that during this period of time, many supernatural things happened in that ancient tomb, which caused panic in the local area. The higher-ups issued a deadly order to let them conduct a thorough investigation this time, and they would not hesitate to use the army to assist in the excavation. The manpower is sufficient.
Baling Mountain, composed of eight mountains and ridges, has the posture of leaping dragons. It was called Longshan in ancient times. There are many tombs of kings.
As soon as Ye Fan arrived at this place, he noticed something unusual. Eight dragons co-existed, looking as if they were about to soar into the sky, pulling the tomb into the nine heavens.
Baling Mountain is majestic and deep, with bursts of pines and green clouds, and the mountain is extraordinary. Although it is not high, it has the air of a dragon.
Ye Fan observed carefully and found that this large tomb is very strange, the terrain is like a Taoist sleeping soundly, who will transform into an immortal, and the eight dragons will guide him to ascend to the immortal position.
The large tomb has been dug up, and a large amount of earth and rocks have been excavated, which has been piled up in the distance to form a hill, surrounded by a lush green area, covered with towering old trees.
As Yang Xiao said, there are enough manpower and modern tools, and truckloads of soil have been transported away. This ancient tomb has caused a very bad influence in the local area and must be resolved as soon as possible.
Apart from some diggers and archaeological experts, there were actually troops coming over, armed with live ammunition, waiting for the ancient tomb to be fully excavated.
"It's not good, it's the same as last time, someone died inexplicably again." Someone was terrified.
The entrance of the tomb was dark, leading directly to the ground, like an abyss, bottomless, the stretcher was sent down, and several black corpses were brought up soon.
Seeing this, Ye Fan sighed. He came a step too late and failed to stop and rescue.
People found a pair of huge stone gates underground, but they couldn't open them no matter what, and several people died, and finally the army went down.
"boom!"
There was a loud noise, and the pair of underground stone gates were forcibly blasted open with explosives, and an extremely cold aura rushed up, causing everyone to retreat involuntarily.
Ye Fan made a secret move and stopped the aura with mana. There were bursts of inexplicable voices from the underground, and all the archaeologists withdrew, feeling horrified.
Not long after, the celestial music sounded, as if it came from the underworld, which made people feel unbelievable. At this time, an old Taoist and several others took advantage of the chaos and sank into the ground, entering the large tomb.
"The tomb of the Warring States Period is related to the ancient Qi refiners..." Ye Fan entered in a flash, and saw a stone door that had been blasted open. On it was engraved with the characters of Changsheng Xianfu, which was the seal script before Qin.
