Three days later, Lin Jingzhe, Yue Long and others returned to Cangzhou City.
When he returned to the city, King Chu Huai held a banquet in honor of him, but he was not interested. He just showed his courtesy and left early.
On the fifth day after returning to the city, King Chu Huai took him to Chu Ling. Chu Ling was located behind Cangzhou City, in the endless mountains.
Cangzhou City is surrounded by mountains and rivers, making it a capital city that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
It is a steep and steep mountain range rising from the sky, endless, uncanny workmanship.
A group of dozens of people set out from Chaotian Palace early in the morning and arrived at the foot of the mountain after ten o'clock.
The Chu Tombs are located in the heart of the mountains. If you want to walk through them, you must climb a steep mountain road covered with thorns.
But as the mausoleum of Chu State, there is naturally another safe and convenient mountain road. However, this mountain road is completely in the minds of King Huai of Chu and several others.
The smooth mountain road leading directly to Chuling was hidden on a waterfall in the mountain range. Dozens of people passed through the waterfall and walked straight for more than an hour. After passing many deep paths, they finally saw a slightly raised mountain. A foot-high hill.
"The entrance to the Chu Mausoleum is right there." King Huai of Chu pointed at the hill and panted slightly.
Lin Jingzhe nodded, said nothing, and let him lead the way.
King Chu Huai left twenty soldiers to guard below, and then climbed up the slightly raised hill with Yue Long and other ten soldiers.
In about half an hour, they climbed up the hill. On both sides of the hill, there were two teams of tomb guards.
There were more than 20 people guarding the tomb. When they saw King Chu Huai dressed lightly, they all bowed down and said, "See you, Your Majesty."
"Get up." King Huai of Chu said, "Is everything okay?"
"Well." Everyone responded. They had received a message from the palace half a month ago. The king was coming to worship their ancestors. But what puzzled them was that the spring blooms in March every year for ancestor worship. Why did it come earlier? The key Haven’t brought any sacrifices yet?
"That's very good." King Huai of Chu said, "If you stay here, I will feel at ease."
So, he took Yue Long, Lin Jingzhe and others to the Chu Mausoleum, and then said: "This is the place where the Xiang family's children rest after death."
Resting place?
Li Jingzhe frowned. Apart from a few tombs, there was only one stone tablet left on the mountain. There were only two large characters "Chu Ling" engraved on the stone tablet.
Where is the real Chu Ling?
King Chu Huai also saw the doubt in his eyes, so he explained: "There is a space under this stone tablet, which can only be opened by the jade seal."
"oh."
"Master, I still need to kneel down and worship my ancestors before I can lead you to open the Chu Tomb."
"Okay, you go about your business."
Lin Jingzhe nodded and waited patiently for King Chu Huai to finish the work.
King Chu Huai, together with Yue Long and others, knelt in front of the Chu Mausoleum Stone Stele, then bowed his head and confessed, talking about future generations Jingyu and unfilial descendants coming to disturb these topics. Anyway, Lin Jingzhe did not listen carefully and did not go to kneel down.
After several minutes of burning incense, King Chu Huai stood up and said to Lin Jingzhe: "Master, it's done."
"Then let's get started."
Then, King Huai of Chu asked Yue Long to take the jade seal and put it into a recessed stone pit next to the stone tablet.
The stone pit was just suitable for putting down the jade seal. When all the jade seals were put down, Yue Long felt a force being drained from his body. Then his eyes lit up, and a large ray of light lit up the area half a foot in front of him.
There was a soft sound, and the stone tablet suddenly sank downwards, revealing a black hole as big as three people standing side by side.
"That is the entrance to Chu Ling." King Chu Huai glanced at Yue Long and Commander Yu next to him, and then said: "Commander Yu, please take a few people in first."
Although it was not the first time for King Huai of Chu to enter the Chu Mausoleum, he must be lying if he said he was not afraid.
"Follow your orders." Commander Yu didn't dare to show his reluctance even if he had 10,000 objections. He could only jump into the dark hole with a few soldiers nearby who were also dressed as guards.
Then came King Chu Huai, then Lin Jingzhe, and then Yue Long and the other two imperial guards.
Lin Jingzhe just felt like jumping into the black hole, and then felt a soft force wrapping around him, and then the soft force sucked him in without him having to move.
Within a few breaths, he found himself in another space.
This is a huge underground space. The dome of the space is more than ten feet high. On both sides of the rock wall of the space, there are more than a dozen huge oil lamps hanging. The light from the oil lamps envelopes the entire underground space. It's still very bright.
King Chu Huai led the crowd and walked in front. When they passed by a rock wall, there was a rusty sword stuck beside the rock wall.
"What's going on?" King Chu Huai walked over, with a look of regret on his face, and murmured to himself: "Ten years ago, when I first met you, you were so cold. How come you have become so cold after not seeing you for ten years? With this rusty appearance now?"
Lin Jingzhe listened to his painful complaint and thought to himself: "This sword can't be the fairy sword he said, right? But judging from the quality of this sword, is it too different from the legendary fairy sword?"
King Chu Huai cried for a while, and tried to pull out the rusty sword on the wall, but the rusty sword was still stuck in the wall, motionless.
"Huh?" King Chu Huai smiled awkwardly, "Master Lin, this is the fairy sword I told you about, but he seems to have turned into a rusty appearance and is unwilling to recognize me as his master."
"There's nothing I can do." Lin Jingzhe spread his hands and said.
"Well, I thought you had something up your sleeve."
"If I had a way, this wouldn't be called a fairy sword."
"Well, that's true. I will take you to read the historical records left by our Xiang family. But why are you so curious about the ancestors of our Xiang family?"
"King Chu Huai, you are too curious about me." Lin Jingzhe stared at King Chu Huai with a smile and said: "If you don't know something, don't try to ask. After all, I will tell you what I want you to know." ,, and I’m just following my teacher’s orders.”
On orders from the teacher?
King Chu Huai could only feel the chill in his smile, and the words "obey the master" made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. One person could resist an army. If the entire Immortal Sect descended from the mountain, the entire country would be destroyed in an instant.
"Master Lin, how dare I, I will lead you there right now." King Chu Huai's feet were trembling slightly, and he led a few people to walk slowly in front.
"There is a trap here. Follow me closely and don't step on the trap." King Chu Huai said as he led the way. After a while, he came to a cave room.
"You also set up a separate cave to store historical records?"
King Huai of Chu replied: "Yes."
"oh."
"Master, you read here while I wait outside. If you need anything, just call me."
"OK."
King Chu Huai led several people out of the cave.
Lin Jingzhe was left alone in the cave.
With the help of an oil lamp, Lin Jingzhe flipped through the wild notes and historical records placed on it.
These historical records and wild notes seem to have been written by the emperors. They carved their life stories and what they saw and heard in specially made bamboo tubes to preserve them for future generations to read.
Some of these bamboo tube books have been stored for hundreds of years, and they still retain the handwriting recorded at that time, which is enough to prove that these bamboo tubes are of great importance.
After browsing for more than half an hour, Lin Jingzhe finally found the records left by Xiang Shaolong, the ancestor of Chu State, and saw that the historical records recorded that the mirror was found in an ancient tomb, and at that time, it was with the ancestor of Chu State. There were three people who entered the ancient tomb, but only one person was mentioned in the records, and that person was the Taoist master who founded the Liluo Sect.
Liluo faction?
Lin Jingzhe suddenly remembered the conversation between Taoist Gu and Wang Lu. They said that there was a Liluo sect at the end of the world. That Liluo sect could not be the Liluo sect mentioned here.
"It looks like we have to go to the ends of the earth, but where are the ends of the world? And where is the Unseen Sea?"
Lin Jingzhe sighed. He originally thought that after entering the Chuling Mausoleum, the secret of the bronze mirror would be revealed. Who knew that it would be like a matryoshka doll, tempting you step by step to choose the next step? Who knows when you arrive at the Liluo Sect? The tomb robber who dug the tombs of the Chu ancestors is still there.
Besides, even if the tomb robber is alive in the world because he has practiced immortal magic, people may not tell you. Even if they do tell you, the ancient tomb must have been destroyed long ago.
But now this is the only clue. This end of the world, the sea of Nanwang, Liluo Pai, must be visited.
It's really a headache, but I promised Miss Lin that I would try my best to complete it for her.
Now that the next clue has been found, there is no point in staying here, so Lin Jingzhe called King Chu Huai, and the group of people left Chu Ling.
Before leaving, King Chu Huai pulled out the rusty fairy sword again, but the fairy sword didn't want to pay attention to him at all. No matter how hard he tried, it still remained motionless.
King Chu Huai sighed, turned around and left reluctantly. Since Xianjian didn't want to talk to him, there was nothing he could do. He couldn't stay in the mausoleum and get entangled.
Several people walked out of Chuling along the way they came, returned to the hills, then followed the mountain road down the hills, and then followed the way they came, walking through many secluded paths, which took about two hours. Road, they returned to Chaotian Palace.
It was already dark when he returned to Chaotian Palace. King Chu Huai wanted to host a banquet for Lin Jingzhe, but he declined. At this time, he needed to be quiet.
Lin Jingzhe, who wanted to leave directly, suddenly remembered the three streams of light falling from the sky a few days ago, and then asked: "King Chu Huai, have you encountered other immortal disciples visiting your home in recent times?"
"Other immortal disciples are visiting? When do you mean?"
"That night I got your notification that there was an emergency at the border."
"I'll think about it carefully." King Huai of Chu was respectful to him and responded to his requests.
"No." King Chu Huai thought for a while and said no without hesitation.
"No?" Lin Jingzhe was stunned for a moment. Didn't those three streams of light come towards Cangzhou City that day? But the direction those three streams of light flew towards was obviously Cangzhou City.
"Master Lin, are you ready to leave Cangzhou City?" King Chu Huai asked.
"The war has been quelled and the Song Dynasty has surrendered. There is no point in my staying here."
"still coming back?"
"Not sure."
"Oh." King Chu Huai was dejected, but he remembered that Wang Aiqing's son was practicing in the Immortal Sect, and he couldn't help but feel happy. The Chu State was also a country covered by the Immortal Sect.
Lin Jingzhe didn't care about the change in his expression, so he bowed and said, "Infinite Heavenly Lord" and prepared to leave.
But at this moment, King Chu Huai pointed to the horizon and exclaimed: "Meteor?" What a bright shooting star. "
When everyone heard the sound and went away, they saw a dazzling meteor falling from the eastern sky, then flashed away and fell into the darkness.
"That's the direction of the mountains."
"Then the meteor won't fall into the mountains, right?"
"It's possible that the meteor should be an extraterrestrial meteorite."
"The meteor is so dazzling, it won't directly ignite the mountain range, right?"
"Shut your crow's mouth."
"Hey, why is the black sky suddenly so bright? And there is thick smoke? No way..."
"Oh, whose crow's mouth was it just now? The place where the meteor landed really lit up a large mountain forest."
"Where are the others, Mr. Lin?"
While the officials were busy thinking about countermeasures, when King Chu Huai, Yue Long, and Grand Master Wang looked at where Lin Jingzhe had just stood, the young Taoist priest in purple robes had long since disappeared.
