"It seemed to be a Zombie just now, similar to the 'Swordsman of Ning Province'." Mengqi said as he thought of it.
Previously, he had told them everything about Yangxia and Maoling.
"Really?" Jiang Zhiwei asked subconsciously, "Could it be that the Life-changing Sect's Zombies are derived from this ancient method of hiding the mysteries of heaven?"
Although the Sword Washing Pavilion was not a Taoist sect, it had inherited one of the Seven Strokes of Heaven Interception and the Swordplay Sutra of Supremacy, so it was closely related to Taoism. Therefore, Jiang Zhiwei did not directly say whether the Life-changing Sect was one of Zhenwu Great Emperor's orthodoxies. Besides, Zhenwu Great Emperor might not be the only one who knew this method of hiding the mysteries of heaven.
Seeing her, Ruan Yushu, and Qi Zhengyan's slightly doubtful eyes, Mengqi nodded and said, "I'm not sure yet. If we meet again, I'll try using the 'Supernatural Power of Shaking Heaven and Hitting Earth'."
"We'll protect you," Jiang Zhiwei said confidently.
Because he was not sure if it was a Zombie, Mengqi's Supernatural Power of Shaking Heaven and Hitting Earth might not be effective. If he was alone, he would not take the risk unless he had no other way out. But now he had Jiang Zhiwei, Qi Zhengyan, and Ruan Yushu with him. Even if he failed, he would not be in a desperate situation.
Qi Zhengyan sighed and said, "I didn't expect the 'Supernatural Power of Shaking Heaven and Hitting Earth' to be so magical. It can even awaken deep memories."
Who would have thought that a spiritual secret method that happened to be on the Exterior level could have such an incredible use?
Even if it had almost no other effect, this alone was worth the Karma points!
Hearing this, Mengqi smiled and said, "Senior Brother Qi, do you want to try? Maybe after awakening deep memories, you'll find that you're really my cousin? And it can also awaken incomplete memories of previous Samsara. Maybe you were my cousin in your previous life? You really don't want to try? "
Qi Zhengyan's face twitched. He tilted his head and looked in another direction. He tightened his grip on the Dragon Stripe Golden Sword.
Ruan Yushu looked around coldly and said casually, "Haven't you always been worried about Ananda? You can try it on yourself after you master it. "
"I can't awaken the fragmented memories of my previous life's Samsara, so I can only find a fated person. I've pestered many people who have gone through Samsara and awakened their memory fragments to stimulate myself so that I can experience Samsara again." Meng Qi looked as if he had suffered a great blow.
Jiang Zhiwei, who was deep in thought, suddenly said, "Something's not right. The Zombie just now had the unique feeling of manifesting the Interior. He should be an expert of the Exterior level, but his performance was not even as good as that of the Half-step Exterior Scenery. He had no coercion or power, and could only cause the spread of Yin Fire. He's different from the Swordsman of Ning Province.
At this time, Jiang Zhiwei found something left in the pit. She picked it up with her sword and found it was a jade pendant with inscriptions.
Just then, Jiang Zhiwei found something left in the hole on the ground. She picked it up with her sword and found that it was a jade pendant with inscriptions.
It had been infected by Yin Qi and was mottled grey.
"It's been a long time." The Ruan family was established by the Way of the Zither. Their culture was flourishing, so Ruan Yushu was very good at identifying jade pendants.
The words on the jade pendant were similar to those in the main world. Although Meng Qi was puzzled, he still read it out.
"What a domineering name …" Thinking of Huang Gang, Mengqi couldn't help but think.
Everyone looked at each other. They didn't know Sun Village or Huang Gang, so they put away the jade pendant and looked elsewhere.

They looked at each other. They didn't know about the Sun Village or Huang Gang, so they put away the jade pendant and looked elsewhere.
Meng Qi and the others gathered around and found that there were words on both sides of the coffin. The right side of the coffin was originally full of small seal scripts, but they had all been erased. They could barely recognize a few words.
Jiang Zhiwei thought for a while and said, "It's a skill."
Mengqi turned to look at the other side. There was a line of twisted and ugly words similar to the words on the jade pendant.
Meng Qi turned to look at the other side. There was a line of twisted and ugly words, similar to the words on the jade pendant:
"There are ghosts here. Don't take anything!"
Every word was crooked, as if someone's hands were not listening to them and they were using all their strength to write. Meng Qi felt a chill run down his spine.
Judging from the words, it should have been written by the Zombie just now. How strange and terrifying would it be to make an expert of the Exterior who could communicate with heaven and earth so scared that he would say that there was a ghost?
"He carved it with his fingernails while lying in the coffin." Jiang Zhi Wei made her judgment after observing it carefully for a while.
Ruan Yushu went one step further. "Every word is different. The marks left on the coffin have different degrees of decay. It must have been carved at intervals of more than a hundred years."
"More than a hundred years …" An image appeared in Mengqi's mind. A Zombie, imprisoned by an evil ghost, lay quietly in the coffin. Every ten years or more, it would regain its consciousness or memory. Relying on instinct or persistence, it would use its fingernails to carve words on the coffin.
Every time it recovered, it could only carve a word or a few lines. As time passed, it finally left a warning for future generations.
Meng Qi and the others shuddered at the mere thought of such a scene.
"Underground Reishi Mushroom," Ruan Yushu looked at the Space Ring. His cold voice sounded deep and drifting under the influence of the Yin Qi.
Mengqi snorted. "Don't be afraid. It's the Dominator of Samsara in Six Realms anyway. If the evil ghost can drag him into the mausoleum!"
Besides, he still had the Buddha's Lamp and Heaven Inflicted Pain.
They were all experienced and had even entered the Holy Mountain. They would not be easily frightened by the evil ghost. They all nodded at his words.
Suddenly, Mengqi patted the back of his right hand with his left hand. "I know why the Zombie just now couldn't even exert the strength of the Half-step Exterior Scenery even though he was in the realm of the Exterior!"
Before Jiang Zhiwei and the others could speak, he said, "He's a Zombie, not a zombie. The longer he stays, the more powerful he becomes. His body is slowly decaying. He's developing into a real dead man."
"After hundreds of years, he must have been extremely powerful when he was at his current level."
"Yes, the Swordsman of Ning Province 'passed away' only ten years ago," Jiang Zhiwei agreed.
After discussing for a while, the four of them continued to move forward, maintaining the previous formation.
After passing through the tomb chamber, they came to another corridor. There were no murals on either side, and it was all white.
The further they went, the darker it became. The light from an unknown source had completely disappeared. The darkness in Mengqi's eyes was deep, and he could only rely on the magic of opening his Eye Apertures to barely see the way.
Qi Zhengyan took out a match and lit it. As soon as the light appeared, a gust of Yin Qi came out of nowhere and blew it out.
This happened several times. Mengqi and the others tried several methods, but no matter how hard they tried to hide and block, the match would always go out. In the end, it couldn't even be lit!
"Be careful," Mengqi said in a low voice. The electric light of "Heaven Inflicted Pain" wrapped around them, illuminating the road ahead.
The thunder snakes rose and fell, and the road ahead flickered, making it even more gloomy.
"There's a large tomb chamber ahead." Mengqi recalled the contents of the map.
As soon as he finished speaking, the end of the corridor appeared in front of them under the silver light. It was a tightly closed stone door with ancient seal script written on it.
"In the netherworld," Jiang Zhiwei read, and the Sword of the Sun-Penetrating Rainbow in her hand did not tremble at all.
Ruan Yushu pursed her lips. As a little girl, she was still a little afraid.
Mengqi held "Heaven Inflicted Pain" across his chest, and pushed open the stone door with the sheath and the sword in his left hand.
There was a heavy, sharp, and ear-piercing sound, and a faint silver light came out of the tomb chamber.
Through the half-open stone door, Mengqi saw a magnificent tomb chamber. It was like a palace, and the dome above was not made of stone, but of water curtains. The gurgling sound was endless, flowing out of thin air.
There was a strange jade tablet in the center of the palace, shining like the moonlight. The water curtains above sparkled, and the whole tomb chamber looked like a dream.
There were small characters carved on the jade tablet, and only a few of them were slightly larger. They seemed to be questions.
"The Tai-yin Devil-Rinsing Skill," Jiang Zhiwei, who stood beside Mengqi, also saw the jade tablet and read out the larger ancient seal script.
"It sounds like one of the skills left by Zhenwu Great Emperor," Mengqi thought of Zhenwu Great Emperor's title of "Ninth Heaven Demon-rinsing Grandmaster".
Although it was definitely not the best part, Zhenwu Great Emperor was so powerful that the skills he left behind were at least of the Exterior level!
Ruan Yushu said calmly, "I've never seen any records of it."
"Perhaps it has been lost since ancient times," Qi Zhengyan guessed.
Although it was a guess, Mengqi felt that Qi Zhengyan's words were full of certainty.
The four stepped into the tomb chamber and walked directly to the jade tablet with the "Tai-yin Devil-Rinsing Skill" carved on it.
The moonlight rippled, making the entire tomb chamber look like a palace on the moon.
Behind Mengqi and the others, a "moonlight" twisted and suddenly transformed into a human figure. His hair was disheveled, and his hands formed into claws. He pounced on Qi Zhengyan who was the last.
The newcomer's hands were pale, and his fingernails were extremely long. The moonlight condensed and brought with it a bitter cold.
Ice condensed in front of his claws. The wind howled, and snowflakes fell. It not only interfered with vision, but also seemed to be able to freeze the soul and cut the body.
When the "moonlight figure" pounced, the Buddha's Lamp on Mengqi's chest flickered. He turned around and slashed with his blade.
The blade was as fast as lightning. Just a second ago, it had already slashed between the two claws.
"Clang!"
Thunder exploded and shattered the ice. Qi Zhengyan's long sword was like a dragon, piercing toward the newcomer's mid-brows with the deep coldness that could freeze this place.
Jiang Zhiwei took a step forward and guarded Ruan Yushu. Her long sword swayed a warm wind to resist the bitter cold.
Ruan Yushu played the "Rebirth Liberation Incantation". The sound was like the sound of Zen or Taoist chanting.
The "moonlight figure" seemed to be alive and dead at the same time. It was another Zombie with a rotten neck. Its strength was equivalent to that of a Half-step Exterior Scenery.
When he heard the zither sound, he suddenly slowed down. He was about to merge with the moonlight to launch a surprise attack.
Seizing the opportunity, Mengqi's temperament changed. He had the strange charm of a demon. He blended with heaven and earth and looked down on the Samsara.
A deep and calm sea appeared. The golden light was hidden like collected sunlight. The surrounding was filled with black fog, shrouding and binding everything.
Mengqi tried his best to awaken the memory fragments.
The waves undulated and the golden light jumped, trying to break free from the black fog.
Suddenly, the black fog sank and turned into a figure in a black robe and crown. He had a thin face and deep eyes. He turned his head to look at Mengqi.
With just one look, Mengqi felt as if his head had been struck by lightning. He screamed and his nose bled. His ears were buzzing, and he could no longer sense the sea of soul!
"Zhenwu Great Emperor?"
