Chapter 802

The light was bright but not dazzling. It warmed the soul and brought peace. Wisps of black gas evaporated and disappeared. The gloomy land of death had turned into a pure land of Buddhism.

"It is indeed the Buddha's Lamp. Even though it is damaged, it still has such great power." Mengqi held the lamp and praised it calmly.

Jiang Zhiwei panted lightly and smiled. "It used to be a Dharmakaya-level treasure after all."

In the battle just now, except for Mengqi, the other three had used their trump cards. They had consumed a lot of energy and could barely speak.

Mengqi was exhausted. The lamp shrunk and returned to its original size. However, the light and warmth still fell on him. For a short while, there was no Yin Qi spreading and regenerating.

"This is …" Mengqi picked up the item.

It was a green jade pendant. It was warm to the touch and had not been contaminated by Yin Qi. There were a few thunderbolt marks on it and inscriptions on the front and back.

"God-gathering Heights … Huangpu Tao …" Mengqi's energy recovered a little and he softly recited the six inscriptions.

Ruan Yushu hugged her zither again. Her face was pale and her hair was loose. She looked gloomy and beautiful. She looked more like a ghost.

She was exhausted after playing the Ninth Heaven Phoenix Cries. She saw Mengqi looking at her but did not say anything. She shook her head, indicating that she did not know about God-gathering Heights or Huangpu Tao.

Qi Zhengyan thought for a while and said, "I wonder where it came from."

"It should be a master from the Nine Villages World. He gave you the jade pendant to ask you to tell your family and find a way to free him." Jiang Zhiwei said thoughtfully, "He inherited some of the Thunder God. The orthodoxy he left behind should be related to this. This is not only a task but also an opportunity."

"That makes sense. If there is a chance, I should send the jade pendant to God-gathering Heights." Mengqi recalled the fight just now. He was even more certain that Huangpu Tao had an Exterior skill derived from the Dharmakaya Divine Skill even if he did not get the Nine Annihilation at Heavenly Nights.

He put away the jade pendant and looked at the door of the main burial chamber. "Should we go in now? The evil ghost is in there … "

The four of them were half-recovered and had less than 30% of their strength. If they encountered the evil ghost, they would be in danger. Therefore, Mengqi asked if they should wait for them to recover to their peak or seize the opportunity.

"The evil ghost was under the Buddha's Lamp and retreated into the tomb. We have to find the clues left by Zhenwu Great Emperor before it and the Exterior Zombie gets rid of it. We have to leave." Jiang Zhiwei said. of Qi. and of.

Qi Zhengyan echoed, "Anyway, it's suppressed and can't fight on its own. There's no difference between being here and being in the tomb."

"It is. of. A hint of disgust appeared on Ruan Yushu's cold and elegant face. The changes in the Living Dead and the various situations in the mausoleum made her feel uncomfortable and lost her appetite. "If it's dangerous, then stop and leave."

. Mengqi walked to the door of the main burial chamber with the lamp and Heaven Inflicted Pain in his hand. He looked at the dark stone door and took a deep breath. He felt the excitement of witnessing history and looking back to ancient times.

The ancient mighty people who had dominated ancient times and left their names in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths were about to appear in front of him.

That was an era of long lifespans. It was an era where people could catch the stars and take the moon, and destroy the world. Zhenwu Great Emperor was at the top of that era.

Exerting force with his right hand, the stone door slowly opened. With a heavy creaking sound, the interior of the tomb was revealed bit by bit.

Nine bronze dragons extended from all directions to the center, surrounding a coffin. It was an ordinary black coffin.

Each bronze dragon was vivid and had the breath of a real dragon. They seemed to have all the characteristics of a real dragon, including the mysterious Real Dragon's Aperture acupoints.

"The Primordial Copper turns into essence and transforms into a dragon …" Qi Zhengyan blurted out, but he stopped when he saw a figure standing in front of the ordinary black coffin.

He was tall and gave off a majestic feeling. His muscles bulged and his armor bulged. His long hair danced in the wind and was followed by lightning.

Every single black scale on the armor gave off an abnormally heavy feeling, as if every single one of them was a mountain or a star.

"This feeling of familiarity …" Mengqi swallowed with difficulty. "Thunder God …"

He had actually appeared in Zhenwu Great Emperor's mausoleum!

This change was completely out of Mengqi and the others' expectations. They did not react for a moment.

After a while, Jiang Zhiwei came back to her senses and said in a low voice, "It is only an afterimage formed from his breath. He borrowed the mausoleum's concealment of the mysteries of heaven and suppression to survive until now."

With her reminder, Mengqi realized that the Thunder God's back was illusory and did not feel real.

"Perhaps after Zhenwu Great Emperor disappeared, as a friend who worked together to suppress the Nine Serenities and subdue demons, the Thunder God searched for his whereabouts and found this place," Mengqi guessed.

Qi Zhengyan remained expressionless. "But such a powerful being would not let his breath leak unless it was on purpose. What is the Thunder God trying to tell those who come after him?"

"Perhaps his mind was agitated and he could not control his breath." Ruan Yushu thought about it. If someone had stolen his food, his mind would definitely be agitated and his breath would leak.

So what could have caused the Thunder God to be so agitated? Mengqi approached slowly, wanting to walk in front of the Thunder God to see if there was any message left behind.

Jiang Zhiwei guarded his back while Ruan Yushu and Qi Zhengyan followed closely behind.

Before they even got close, the Thunder God's figure gradually turned illusory and disappeared. Only the thunderbolt marks remained on the opposite wall.

These thunderbolt marks were not sentient, nor did they have the majesty of thunder. They were bottomless, as if they led to the World of Darkness.

"This is caused by the Thunder God's breath. The Gist of Trueness inside is gone." As the one who had inherited the Thunder God's legacy, Mengqi could tell the reason at a glance.

Jiang Zhiwei said thoughtfully, "Huangfu Tao must have comprehended the 'Thunder Execution' here."

"I wonder where these thunderbolt marks lead to …" Qi Zhengyan looked at the bottomless thunderbolt marks and muttered to himself.

Behind them was not a wall, nor was it another tomb chamber, but a deep, pitch-black darkness.

"These Copper Dragon Essences have lost their vitality. They have become dead objects again." Ruan Yushu's eyes lit up as he looked at the nine bronze dragons. Even he did not have so much Copper Essence at home. Moreover, they were sentient and refined. If they were converted into Karma points or food …

However, Mengqi and the others did not dare to touch the Copper Dragon Essences. They were afraid that they would destroy the layout and release the "evil spirits". Even if they wanted to touch them, they could not put them in the Space Ring.

On the four walls, except for the ones damaged by the thunderbolt marks, there were paintings. Some were of an old man in Taoist robes lying high in the clouds with his sword developing heaven and earth. Some were of an emperor in a royal robe riding a flying snake and sitting on a black tortoise. Some were of two figures fighting in the void with stars falling around them.

They were all paintings without Gist of Trueness. Perhaps they were paintings depicting the life of Zhenwu Great Emperor.

The four of them did not pay attention to these paintings for the time being. They hurriedly looked at the black coffin surrounded by the dragons.

It was ordinary, with a slight air of death. But in the mausoleum of Zhenwu Great Emperor, it seemed abnormal when compared with the other extraordinary objects.

"There are words on it." Mengqi's eyes were sharp. He saw two lines of seal script on the coffin lid.

Jiang Zhiwei tried hard to identify them. "Cut off a trace of evil thoughts to die for me …"

The more she read, the softer her voice became, as if she was afraid of alarming the evil spirits. "Buried here for one lifetime."

"Evil thoughts to die for me, body for one lifetime …" Mengqi was shocked. He repeated these words over and over again.

"Could it be that the 'evil spirit' was formed by Zhenwu Great Emperor's evil thoughts? But why is it not dead yet?" Jiang Zhiwei frowned, puzzled. Even Zhenwu Great Emperor could not escape death. How could the evil thoughts he used to die for him survive until now?

The others looked at each other. They could not figure out the mystery, so they turned to look at the coffin.

"Is the body of Zhenwu Great Emperor in there?" Qi Zhengyan's paralyzed face changed slightly. There was a rare trace of excitement.

Meng Qi looked straight ahead. "That should be the case. Perhaps the clue lies with him in this life …"

"Did Zhenwu Great Emperor reincarnate? But that's still considered death. If we find his body, we should have completed the task … The answer to the mystery of Zhenwu Great Emperor's death is that he reincarnated … "With Ananda as a precedent, it was not difficult for Jiang Zhiwei to make such a guess. She became even more puzzled.

After a pause, she and Mengqi spoke at the same time.

"Should we open it and take a look?"

Ruan Yushu looked at the zither and did not comment on their suggestion. Qi Zhengyan looked up at the sky and sighed. This was indeed their style of doing things.

Since they could stop and return, they did not say anything.

Mengqi and Jiang Zhiwei walked to the front of the coffin at the same time as Mengqi passed by a Copper Dragon Essence.

The coffin looked ordinary, but it was isolated from all spiritual prying. Mengqi could not sense the situation inside at all. It was like facing a deep and heavy cliff.

They looked at each other. Jiang Zhiwei raised her sword, ready to attack. Mengqi held the bluish white lamp in his left hand. Fearing that the corpse would turn into a zombie, he stretched out Heaven Inflicted Pain and stabbed it into the gap below the lid of the coffin.

It did not move …

It was so heavy! Mengqi took a deep breath and operated his genuine Qi to its peak. His whole body burst forth with strength.

There was a harsh sound of friction. The lid finally moved. Mengqi's face was red as he used all his strength.

Heaven Inflicted Pain bent as if it was about to break. The lid moved a little, allowing the two to see what was inside.

The bottom was red. It was empty and intact. The body of Zhenwu Great Emperor was not there!

"This …" The two were shocked at the same time. They had clearly said that the body of a lifetime was buried here, but no change had surprised them as much as the emptiness in front of them!

Where had the body of a lifetime gone?

Had it been combined with the evil thoughts?

"No," Qi Zhengyan and Ruan Yushu leaned over and murmured to themselves.

Jiang Zhiwei immediately came to a realization. "It's indeed wrong. If the body of a lifetime was really here, its breath would have dissipated after death and left an indelible mark in the coffin. But there's nothing inside. It's intact."

"In other words, when Zhenwu Great Emperor finished building the mausoleum and was about to die here, he suddenly floated away without even entering the coffin. That's why the evil thoughts didn't die in his place?" Mengqi frowned. "No wonder the Thunder God's spirit was agitated and his breath leaked!"

"No wonder it's called Zhenwu's Decoy Grave …"

Mengqi suddenly saw a small piece of something pressed down at the bottom of the coffin. He said gravely, "Zhenwu Great Emperor once put something in here. Did he take it away when he left or was it taken by someone else?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a gust of chilly wind blew and the door of the tomb closed with a bang!

At the same time, the cold voice of the Dominator of Samsara in Six Realms rang in their ears.

"The second step of the mystery of Zhenwu's death: find the Black Tortoise Pendant."
