Chapter 806

The door of the tomb was tightly shut. The chilly wind was faintly discernible, penetrating deep into their hearts. A pressure greater than a mountain came from above, causing the light in the main chamber to dim.

"Did opening the coffin help the 'evil ghost' get rid of the suppression, or did it trigger the seal of the entire tomb?"

This thought came to Mengqi and the others, as if they were isolated from heaven and earth.

They looked at each other and chose to return early without hesitation. After all, the task in Zhenwu's Decoy Grave had been preliminarily completed!

If they found a way out and encountered the former, it would be extremely dangerous. If it was the latter, they could not leave at all. Staying in such a mausoleum for a month was worse than being dead, which was not conducive to cultivation.

With a flash of green light, Mengqi, Jiang Zhiwei, and the others disappeared from the main chamber.

The misty light beam hung down and shrouded Mengqi. He suddenly felt cold and a trace of black gas seeped out of his body.

The black gas was like snow meeting the sun, quickly disappearing. A faint scream came out, "This is …"

Mengqi was shocked. When had he been possessed by the aura of the 'evil ghost'? It was really undetectable. Even the Buddha's Lamp did not give a hint. If not for the Dominator of Samsara in Six Realms, it would have been extremely dangerous.

However, considering that the Buddha's Lamp was almost completely destroyed and the 'evil ghost' was a trace of Zhenwu Great Emperor's evil thoughts, it was not surprising that it could do this.

Apart from that, Mengqi was not injured. After the black gas dissipated, the "seed" condensed by Yang Qi and vitality unraveled. The light beam receded, revealing Jiang Zhiwei and the others.

"We were possessed by the aura of the evil ghost just now." Jiang Zhiwei's expression was slightly solemn, but she was not too nervous. She was just a little scared, because the 'evil ghost' had already been removed by the Dominator of Samsara in Six Realms when they discovered it.

"Fortunately, we have the Dominator of Samsara in Six Realms." Mengqi sighed. He was really omnipotent and specialized in treating difficult and complicated diseases.

At this moment, the calm voice of the Dominator of Samsara in Six Realms sounded.

"The task of Zhenwu's Decoy Grave has ended early. Do you choose to leave or stay here to cultivate the remaining time of the Samsara Charm?"

What a good thing! Without exception, Mengqi and the others all chose to cultivate.

"This task is really short." Jiang Zhiwei was the first to calm down from the fear of being possessed by the evil ghost.

Since they had plenty time, they were not in a hurry to exchange.

Meng Qi clenched his teeth and said, "The first step of the chain task is relatively simple. The rewards are low, and the danger is low. Although there are some variables, it still basically follows this rule."

"Yes, if we didn't have the Supernatural Power of Shaking Heaven and Hitting Earth, perhaps it would have been even smoother, and there would have been even less tension. The real danger lies in the Evil Ghost's Silent Possession. With the Dominator of Samsara in Six Realms around, we don't have to worry about that. "

If Mengqi had not tried the Power of Shaking Heaven and Hitting earth, the evil ghost would not have shown up. So would Huangpu Tao, who was at the level of the Exterior. They would have only been facing Huang Gang and the other Zombies who were close to the Half-step Exterior Scenery. Mengqi could have dealt with them alone, or they could have done it together when they first got the Black Fur. It was more in line with the concept of the first step of the task.

Ruan Yushu's expression was cold. He looked at his shoulder from time to time as if he was afraid that another evil ghost would suddenly appear. "Even if there was a change caused by the Power of Shaking Heaven and Hitting earth, it was not dangerous and I was not nervous."

Except that the evil ghost was a little scary …

"Yes, it felt strange. The nervousness came and went." Qi Zhengyan exhaled expressionlessly.

It was true. Along the way, their nervousness disappeared as soon as it rose. They did not feel the pressure and fear of walking in the mausoleum of Zhenwu Great Emperor.

For example, when they found a zombie close to the level of the Half-step Exterior Scenery, they immediately recognized that it was similar to the Life-changing Sect and could be suppressed by the Power of Shaking Heaven and Hitting earth. When they saw the ghost's message, they soon found the Dragon-subduing Stand and guessed that the evil ghost was being suppressed. When they encountered the Zombies of the Exterior, they quickly realized that they were holding back. They also realized that the evil ghost could not attack them when their memories faded in the mist.

Plus, they could return at any time. The only time they felt nervous was in front of the main burial chamber, when many Zombies attacked. The rest of the time, they felt nervous and quickly disappeared. In short, it was in line with the description of the first step of the task. It was relatively simple, less dangerous, and less rewarding.

"Where should I find the Black Tortoise Jade Pendant?" The past was the past, and it was a less dangerous task. Other than some messages and murals in Zhenwu's Decoy Grave to remember, Mengqi had already forgotten about it. He began to think about the clues for the second step. "Could it be somewhere else inside the mausoleum?"

Jiang Zhiwei pondered for a while and said, "It should have been taken out of Zhenwu's Decoy Grave. The Zombies can't be born with such strong strength. Huangpu Tao obviously started to practice the proper method after comprehending the thunderbolt mark. If he completed it in the mausoleum, he would be in a 'dead body' state and would not grow. He would only rot and not be able to practice normal skills."

"They should have entered the mausoleum and had a fortuitous encounter. Then they left and cultivated to the Exterior. In the end, they were possessed by the evil ghost's breath and returned to the mausoleum, becoming the Zombies." Qi Zhengyan judged. "If we don't have the Dominator of Samsara in Six Realms, they will end up like them."

Ruan Yushu said calmly, "Even if we don't have the Dominator of Samsara in Six Realms, as long as they don't act up immediately, they can be seen by a master."

The master she mentioned was at least at the grandmaster level.

Mengqi nodded and said, "In other words, it's very likely that one of the Zombies brought the Black Tortoise out of the mausoleum as a family heirloom. According to the fact that the thunderbolt mark will dissipate once its meaning is comprehended, the first Zombie to enter the main mausoleum should be Huangpu Tao. We have to start from him. Hmm, Nine Villages World, God-gathering Heights."

Everyone chimed in one after another, slowly outlining the outline of the matter.

"If the Zombies didn't take it, we can consider the place where the Black Fur was." Jiang Zhiwei changed the topic. "To be able to draw the internal route map and know about Zhenwu's Decoy Grave, he must have a close relationship with Zhenwu Great Emperor."

Mengqi nodded and said, "The person involved is already dead. We won't be able to find the Black Fur in a short time. Let's think about Nine Villages World first. I think if the serial task continues, we will go there sooner or later …"

This was an inexplicable intuition.

Without the Samsara talisman, they couldn't go to Nine Villages World for a while. After the discussion, they put the Netherworld Reishi Mushroom and the "Tai-yin Devil-Rinsing Scripture" into the Central Light Pillar.

"Netherworld Reishi Mushroom, 150 years old … worth 700 Karma points."

"Tai-yin Devil-Rinsing Scripture (with some changes), Exterior skill … worth 1,500 Karma points."

Mengqi and the others didn't find it strange that the Netherworld Reishi Mushroom was only 150 years old. The previous ones must have been taken by those who had entered the mausoleum to refine medicine or directly consumed. As for the "Tai-yin Devil-Rinsing Scripture", if they were evil spirits, they would also make some changes to it. Anyway, they didn't plan to practice it or eat it, so they exchanged it for Karma points.

After dividing it evenly, each person received 550 Karma points, which could be considered as the reward for the first step of the serial task.

Mengqi kept the elixirs he had obtained from the Six Fan School and exchanged them all for Karma points. About two months' worth of salary would be 400 Karma points. It wasn't a lot, but it wasn't a small amount either. If the interval between tasks was a year, it would be more than enough for him to spend his energy to collect scripts and eradicate mountain bandits.

"950 Karma points." Mengqi opened his mouth and said, "River East is full of unpredictable things. We must be on guard. I plan to exchange for a Recover Pill and two months of practice. I'll try to stabilize my Seven Acupores, adjust my Inner World, and master the 'Heavenly Fairy'."

He had 50 Karma points left.

Jiang Zhiwei exchanged for the things she had collected during this period and had a total of 900 Karma points. Hearing that, she said happily, "I'll also exchange for a Recover Pill and two months' time. Let's practice and learn from each other."

They hadn't completely digested the things they had exchanged last time. What they needed the most was time. Now that there was an opportunity, Jiang Zhiwei certainly wouldn't let it go.

Moreover, without her guidance, it would be difficult for Mengqi to master the 'Heavenly Fairy' within three months, even if he had already shed his mortal body.

Mengqi felt warmth in his heart. This was the friendship of life and death!

Most of Qi Zhengyan's things were prepared for traveling, so he wasn't in a hurry to exchange them for Karma points. Adding up the rest, he only had dozens of Karma points. "In that case, I'll also exchange for two months' time. Otherwise, with my current strength, I won't be confident when I get to River East."

His Seven Acupores had not been stabilized, so he was far from adjusting his Inner World. Therefore, he planned to practice hard with Mengqi and Jiang Zhiwei, and exchange the rest of his Karma points for various things to help with his practice.

Ruan Yushu frowned. "I'll go with you."

The elixirs in her Space Ring could still be used in the next task, so she didn't let the Dominator of Samsara in Six Realms take advantage of them. She didn't use the remaining 150 Karma points.

"Isn't it a waste to keep so many?" Mengqi asked subconsciously.

Ruan Yushu didn't even look up. She said coldly, "Can you abstain from eating for three months?"

Mengqi was instantly speechless. Fortunately, he had kept 50 Karma points.

After settling down in their respective rooms, Jiang Zhiwei first found Mengqi and asked directly, "Do you plan to adjust your Inner World with the Golden Bell Shield or the Eight Nine Mysteries?"

"Of course, the Eight Nine Mysteries," Mengqi answered without hesitation.

Jiang Zhiwei chuckled. "Just as I thought. According to the description of the Eight Nine Mysteries, I don't think its focus is on strength, physical strength, or changes. Instead, it's on seeing one's true nature."

"Ah?" Mengqi was a little confused. Although he practiced, he didn't think much about the Eight Nine Mysteries.

Jiang Zhiwei chuckled. "Seeing one's true nature is a saying of Taoism. In Buddhism, it's about one's own Buddha nature."

She paused. "The Eight Nine Mysteries is about control and change. If you practice it to the highest level and become Senior Brother Qi, your physical body, breath, behavior, habits, and the unique characteristics of your soul will be the same as his. Will others be able to tell the difference?"

"No." Mengqi was very confident in the transformation ability of the Eight Nine Mysteries.

Jiang Zhiwei nodded gently. "Then, if you see someone with the same physical body, breath, behavior, habits, and unique characteristics of my soul, can you be sure that it's not me?"

Mengqi's expression suddenly became solemn. "No."

Jiang Zhiwei's expression became solemn. "So, which is real and which is fake? The characteristics seen by the eyes, the sounds heard by the ears, and the traces sensed by the soul will all be limited by the body and the external influence. You can't see the whole picture. Whatever you have gained will be restrained by the body and the world. "

"In the words of Buddhism, everything you see is an illusion of karma, not reality. Everything you see is not reality. Therefore, if you can see through external disturbances and your own shackles, you can see your own Buddha nature. The Eight Nine Mysteries is a cultivation method that seeks the truth through changes. If you want to adjust your Inner World, you have to consider this aspect."

Considering that Mengqi was a monk, she replaced some of the words in the Taishang Book of Swordplay with Buddhist words.

"… I didn't expect you to have such a high state of mind and cultivation." Mengqi was silent for a while and sighed.

Jiang Zhiwei held back her laughter. "I don't understand much myself. Most of it was taught by my master when he was explaining the Taishang Book of Swordplay to me. I see that the Eight Nine Mysteries is similar, so I want to remind you."

"Jiang Hengchuan and the others have a higher realm than you and can achieve the Oneness of Heaven and Men, but the Eight Nine Mysteries is also full of changes and is good at avoiding disasters. If your Inner World is in harmony with it, you may be able to hide your own situation under the Oneness of Heaven and Men. At that time, at least in terms of knowing the enemy, they will not be better than you. You can even create a false impression and bury a 'flaw' to defeat the enemy."

"Phew." Mengqi exhaled. This is the Peerless Divine Skill!

…

Outside Maoling, in a hidden place, a green light flashed and Mengqi appeared.

His breath was a little vague and unpredictable. Then, it became calm and there was nothing unusual.

"I've finally mastered the Heavenly Fairy." Mengqi looked at Maoling from afar with a smile. But this was not the biggest gain!
