Xu You Rong and Chen Chang Sheng purposely said and did this.
This didn't mean that they were really calm and didn't care as much as they pretended. It was just that this was the only way they could calm down in the shortest time possible.
Xu Yourong's face carried a satisfied and calm smile. Before she died, she had finally seen the legendary mausoleum and approached the true secret of the Garden of Zhou. Of course she was happy.
Chen Changsheng looked at the Yellow Paper Umbrella a few times, and confirmed that there was no movement. The strand of sword intent had already disappeared when they saw the mausoleum, so he did not know what this meant.
That sword intent had already completed its task of guiding the way? The Sword Pool was right next to this mausoleum? The surroundings of the mausoleum were boundless white grasslands. Over ten li away on the opposite side, a few old temples could be faintly seen. They were not sacrificial temples, but rather auxiliary temples. There were no lakes or ponds, so where would the Sword Pool be?
Chen Changsheng did not think for too long. Carrying Xu Yourong on his back, he walked towards the mausoleum. Not long after, he arrived in front of the long stone path that seemed like the Path of Heaven.
Stepping on the stone path, dust flew up from the soles of his shoes. For some reason, he gradually increased his speed until he was running.
Xu Yourong hugged his neck and thought with a smile. After all, he was a young man around twenty years of age. No matter how calm and composed he was, it was just an illusion. That was right, the Snow Mountain Sect inherited the bloodline of the Black Frost Dragon, and the Black Frost Dragon was famous among the dragons for loving gold and silver. This mausoleum definitely had countless treasures, so how could his footsteps not be hurried?
Chen Changsheng's injuries gradually healed. Although he was still tired, his speed was very fast. Not long after, he had run to the end of the several thousand zhang long divine path with Xu Yourong on his back, arriving at the center of the huge mausoleum. Looking at the heavy stone door in front of him that was over a hundred feet tall, he took a deep breath and pushed forward with his palms, only to find that it was unexpectedly easy.
Without a sound, the door of the mausoleum was pushed open. The crack that grew wider and wider spurted out some fine dust.
Chen Changsheng unsheathed his dagger and held it horizontally in front of him. He walked into the mausoleum, very vigilant.
Xu Yourong leaned on his shoulder. Her expression was also solemn. Her fingers kept flexing and stretching as she silently calculated and deduced.
This mausoleum could be said to be the most mysterious place in the Eastern Continent. Within it was buried the man who had once terrorized the entire world.
By now, they naturally already knew that the mysterious Plains of the Unsetting Sun was only the mausoleum of this mausoleum.
Even the mausoleum was so vast and dangerous, let alone the main body of the mausoleum.
No one knew what was in this mausoleum.
Just a few steps into the stone door, suddenly, a ray of light appeared in the darkness in the distance. It was as if someone had lit a bonfire in the wilderness on a starless night.
Chen Chang Sheng stared into the distance, ready to fight or flee at any moment.
In the next moment, a second ray of light shone from the depths of the mausoleum. Soon after, more and more rays of light appeared, heading towards them, forming two bright rays of light.
Finally, the light came to them. It turned out that the luminous pearls embedded in the walls of the tunnel had lit up.
These luminous pearls were perfectly round, crystal clear, and each of them was the size of a bowl.
These luminous pearls were not as perfect as the one Luoluo had given him, but they were definitely not smaller than the luminous pearls on the Dew Platform. Moreover, this tunnel was very long, leading to the depths of the mausoleum. There were at least several thousand luminous pearls on the walls. It was really hard to imagine, back when Zhou Dufu was building his mausoleum, where did he find so many luminous pearls that were almost exactly the same?
Under the soft illumination of the luminous pearls, he carried Xu Yourong into the depths of the mausoleum.
This tunnel leading to the depths of the mausoleum should be the underworld path of the mausoleum designed by the Emperor, meaning that it led to the Netherworld. Of course, in the records of the Orthodoxy, this tunnel was usually called the Path of Light, meaning that it led to the boundless divine kingdom of light in the sea of stars. It was just like the stone path that spanned several thousand zhang outside the mausoleum. It was called the Divine Path, meaning that it led to the boundless divine kingdom of light in the sea of stars.
As they walked in the long tunnel, only the echoes of their footsteps could be heard. Even with the luminous pearls illuminating the path ahead, it still seemed somewhat sinister and terrifying.
Chen Changsheng suddenly felt a faint chill in his heart. He split off a strand of his spiritual sense to observe, and discovered that in the cold lake outside his Ethereal Palace, the Black Dragon seemed to show signs of awakening. He could not help but be slightly startled, then revealed a smile at the corner of his lips. He thought to himself, it really is worthy of being the legendary Black Frost Dragon that loves jewels and crystals the most. Even in its slumber, it can still sense the existence of the luminous pearls.
Xu Yourong saw that his face suddenly revealed a smile. She was very confused, but also felt that it was somewhat strange, so she asked him softly.
Chen Changsheng did not know how to explain, so he could only smile again, looking somewhat foolish.
Out of their expectations, this tunnel did not have any traps, nor did they encounter those fierce beasts that guarded the mausoleum. Just like that, they walked to the deepest part of the mausoleum, and nothing happened.
At the end of the Path of Light was another stone door.
When Chen Changsheng placed his hand on it, he very naturally thought of the scene when he was trapped by Mo Yu in the Tong Palace during the Ivy Festival, walked to the bottom of the Black Dragon Pond, and pushed open that stone door. At that time, he pushed open that stone door with the thought that he would definitely die. He had never thought that he would encounter the Black Dragon behind the stone door, and this encounter had already saved his life several times.
If he pushed open this stone door, what would he encounter?
Accompanied by an extremely soft grinding sound, the stone door was slowly pushed open.
This stone door had not been opened for several hundred years.
Behind the door was a world that no one had visited for several hundred years.
Stone pillars several dozen zhang tall supported the dome.
The space seemed incomparably large.
In the depths of the mausoleum, it was not a tomb, but a palace.
In the deepest part of the palace, there was a black stone coffin.
Chen Changsheng carried Xu Yourong on his back and walked in front of the black stone coffin. Only then did he discover that the black stone coffin was incomparably large, just like a mountain of black stone.
Standing in front of the black stone coffin, their figures were very small.
This stone coffin was made from Black Nightmare Stone. Its surface was dull and lusterless, giving off a sense of serenity. There were no cracks or traces of being pieced together. It was extremely likely that it was made from a single piece of Black Nightmare Stone.
Chen Changsheng silently thought, could this really be a mountain of black stone?
There were no patterns on the surface of the Black Nightmare Stone Coffin, nor were there any words that indicated the identity of the person in the coffin. This made it even more solemn.
At this moment, the man that was quietly lying in the Black Nightmare Stone Coffin did not need any patterns to add luster to him, nor did he need any records to sing his praises.
When that man was young, he was once known as the number one expert of Luo Shui.
Afterwards, he defeated Emperor Taizong outside of Luoyang, and thus became known as the number one expert of the Central Plains.
Afterwards, he traveled far to the south, defeated countless experts from the Longevity Sect and Scholartree Manor, flattened the mountain gate of South Stream Temple, and tore off the veil of the current Holy Maiden. From then on, he was known as the number one expert of humanity.
Afterwards, while surrounded by countless experts of the demon race, he heavily injured the Demon Lord and drifted far away. As a result, he was known as the number one expert of the continent.
The number one expert of the continent did not even have a time limit. It was not limited to that era, but looking back five hundred years and looking back five hundred years, he would always be the strongest.
As a result, he had another title, the number one expert in a thousand years.
Looking around the universe, he was invincible. Perhaps it was that lonely feeling that caused him to disappear, leaving behind a legend that could not be replicated.
In the end, people called him the number one expert under the starry sky.
He used an entire Black Nightmare Stone Mountain as a coffin, used a grassland where the sun never sets as a cemetery, and used a world as his own seal. Why would he need to erect a tombstone and carve his name on it?
He was Zhou Du Fu.
He could only be Zhou Du Fu.
… …
… …
Standing in front of the huge Black Nightmare Stone Coffin, Chen Changsheng was silent for a while. After a simple bow, he carried Xu Yourong on his back and continued forward, not stopping for a long time.
Xu Yourong was somewhat unable to understand his calmness and asked, "You should know who the person in this black stone coffin is."
Chen Changsheng said as if he was reciting from a book, "The number one expert under the starry sky, the undefeated legend, the sworn brother of His Majesty the First Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty."
"If it was only strength, it would not have been enough for him to be remembered by the world for such a long time."
Xu Yourong said, "There was actually a most important reason why humans were able to defeat the demon race, but it had always been deliberately forgotten by the history books and people. That was because Zhou Du Fu defeated and heavily injured the Demon Lord."
Chen Changsheng did not stop his steps, instead, he quickened his pace and said, "I know about this matter, and I also understand the importance of this matter."
"As a result, other than being a legend, he is also a hero." Xu Yourong said, "Most of the young cultivators I have met saw him as an idol and worshiped him fervently. If they could come before Zhou Du Fu's coffin, they would definitely kneel down and worship him. They would not be as indifferent as you."
"If it was any other time, I would probably be the same." Chen Changsheng said, "But right now, we do not have the time to reminisce about the past, and he is after all already dead."
Xu Yourong asked, "So?"
Chen Changsheng said, "No matter how much of a hero, no matter how great a legend, as long as they are dead, they cannot wake up again. They have no way of telling us how to continue living. Our current situation is very bad. If we still only think about mourning our senior at this time, then we will very quickly become the target of mourning. Of course, it is even more likely that we will be quickly forgotten by people. "
After saying these words, they had already arrived at the stone steps at the back of the mausoleum. In front of them was a row of doors. The ground in front of the doors was covered in a thin layer of dust. There were no traces of it, not even the traces of wind. It seemed that this mausoleum had indeed never been opened, and no one had ever entered. They were the first group of visitors.
Just like the mausoleum's mausoleum doors, the doors of these stone rooms also did not have locks.
Walking into the first stone room, a turbid wind with a rotten smell blew against his face. He held his breath and squinted his eyes. Borrowing the light that leaked in from behind him, he looked into the room. He saw that there were many rotten wooden racks in the stone room, and at least several hundred magical artifacts were scattered everywhere. From their shapes, those magical artifacts were definitely not ordinary. It was just that because they had been left unused for too long, the Qi on the magical artifacts had already dissipated. They were no different from scrap metal.
Suddenly, Xu Yourong let out a soft cry of surprise.
Chen Changsheng followed her gaze and looked over. He saw that in the pile of rotten wood at the very corner, there seemed to be something.
… …
… …
(The most annoying part is the forbidden words. Zhou Du Fu had to appear so many times in the Heaven's Chosen Record. It's tiring, but the problem is that it doesn't look good! Also, the problem of how the ferret became the roasted meat in Chen Changsheng's hands after being turned into smoke by Xu Yourong … is completely unsolvable! I can only say that for the sake of sacrifice, I dare to have the ferret die three times! The next chapter is still after seven in the evening.)
