Three hundred miles away from the eastern outskirts of Gale Imperial Capital is a stretch of mountains. Reflected in the moonlight, the outline of the mountains resembles a fallen dragon.
Legend has it that a long time ago, a dragon fell here. Its huge body never decayed and eventually evolved into this mountain range, so it is also called Dragon Falling Mountain. The mountain closest to the imperial capital is where the dragon head is, also known as It is Longshou Mountain.
Later, not long after the establishment of the Gale Dynasty, the founding emperor died of an underlying illness, so the dynasty chose to build a circular mausoleum at the Longkou location of Longshou Mountain, which means the Dragon Pearl, with the intention of protecting Gale's everlasting prosperity.
Riding on the moonlight, black clouds carried Hu Mingxian all the way and landed outside the cemetery. What he saw was a simple wooden house. Outside the wooden house, an old man in plain clothes had been waiting for a long time.
Regarding this old man, no one knows his name or how long he lived since Dafeng founded the dynasty more than a thousand years ago. They only know that when the dynasty was looking for the address of the cemetery, they found that he was already living at the foot of Longshou Mountain. He already looks like an old man.
When he learned that the Dafeng Dynasty was going to build a cemetery at the foot of Longshou Mountain, the old man didn't say anything, nor did he move away. However, whenever the Dynasty paid homage to its ancestors, he found that the cemetery had been cleaned up. Over time, the Dynasty No one was sent to clean the tomb anymore.
In this way, the old man became the tomb-keeper of the Gale Dynasty.
Looking at Hu Mingxian who came forward, the old man's eyes showed approval, and for the first time, a smile appeared on his face that had not seen a smile for many years.
When he saw this old man, Hu Mingxian couldn't help but be surprised. Although it seemed that this old man had no spiritual power fluctuations and was no different from a mortal, he gave people a feeling of ethereal vastness and uncertainty.
For a moment, he wasn't sure whether the person in front of him was real.
"I've met the seniors, but I don't know how to call them!" Without asking, Hu Mingxian stepped forward and saluted, but was stopped by the old man.
"I was born in this mountain, grew up in this mountain, grew up in this mountain, and stay in this mountain. If you are willing, just call me Shan Lao." He patted Hu Mingxian's clenched hand with satisfaction, and Shan Lao smiled amiably. He smiled, turned around and walked towards the cemetery, saying: "Follow me."
"Yes, Mr. Shan." Hu Mingxian did not dare to neglect and followed closely.
Silent all the way, Mr. Shan led Hu Mingxian through the mausoleums, and then stopped in front of a tombstone on the left corner. He picked up the bamboo broom next to the tombstone and swept the fallen leaves in front of the tomb.
"Shan Lao, what is this?!"
Hu Mingxian's heart was shocked when he looked at the tombstone. What was engraved on it was "The Tomb of Luo Chenfeng, Prince of the Dafeng Dynasty".
"He was supposed to have died in the turmoil in the imperial dynasty that night sixteen years ago, but he survived because of a causal relationship with you. And it will be because of you in the future that he will end this causal relationship and return to this tomb."
Shan Lao spoke slowly, as if he was talking about normal things, but those who listened felt their hearts surge and could not calm down.
"Shan Lao said, will my father die because of me?" Hu Mingxian asked.
"Your father... yes, no, that is his fate, but it is also because of your obsession." Putting down the bamboo broom, Shan Lao pointed to the direction behind the mausoleum and said: "So, do you still want to go there? ?”
At this moment, Hu Mingxian's heart was shaken, and he didn't know how to make a decision.
If he continues to move forward tonight, Luo Chenfeng will definitely die because of him in the future, but if he does not go tonight, Lie Ruting will also die.

He had known this before, but he didn't want Shan Lao to tell him this.
After a long time, Hu Mingxian also asked with a wry smile: "Why did Mr. Shan tell me this?"
"It seems that you have made a decision, come with me." As he led Hu Mingxian towards the back of the mausoleum, Shan Lao sighed and said: "People in the world cannot escape desire, obsession, hatred... these will all happen when they practice cultivation. The ups and downs of the mood caused by this will all evolve into the inner demons of warriors during the heavenly tribulation. Those with a firm Taoist heart can survive it safely, but your next heavenly tribulation...do you understand this?"
Behind him, Hu Mingxian was stunned. Shan Lao could easily provoke changes in his mood with just a few words. If the scenes of the inner demons evolving during the calamity would have affected him to what extent, he really Can you remain still?
As early as in the virtual reality world, Emperor Jiu's ancestors had warned him that because he violated many taboos, the consequences of these taboos in the future would be blessed in the blood coagulation realm.
His Blood Coagulation Realm Heavenly Tribulation is far from comparable to that of other warriors, and the inner demons that evolved during the Heavenly Tribulation are naturally far from comparable to those of other warriors.
Take the elders of the sects who were both good and evil at the auction. Since they have been able to cultivate to the divine soul realm, it means that they have survived three thunder tribulations, and it goes without saying that they have a Taoist heart.
But when faced with the catastrophe of the soul breaking through to the Yuanshen realm, he still went to the mortal world to bid for the Cloud Blood Requiem Fruit King, hoping to help stabilize his soul and Taoist heart during the catastrophe.
And this means that he needs to have a more rock-solid Taoist heart than other warriors!
Hu Mingxian has already been mentally prepared for this, and this will also become his first real life-and-death threshold.
"Thank you, Mr. Shan, for your advice!" After thinking about this, Hu Mingxian quickly thanked him.
Since leaving Hongdou Village, his mind has been focused on various plans and calculations for the current situation, and he has almost forgotten all of them. If Shan Lao hadn't woken him up today and rashly confronted Luo Yan and others, what would have happened? He is the one who suffers.
"Haha, guidance is out of the question. When the time comes, you might as well think more about how you entered the practice." Waving his hand, Shan Lao said nonchalantly.
Arriving at the tombstone at the back of the mausoleum that was engraved with 'Tomb of Luo Haotian, Lord of the Gale Emperor', Mr. Shan waved his hand gently and saw that the tombstone moved away, revealing a stone staircase leading underground.
"Go ahead."
Waving his hand, Mr. Shan didn't look at Hu Mingxian anymore, turned around and walked towards the outside of the mausoleum.
"Thank you, Mr. Shan."
After looking at Shan Lao's back, Hu Mingxian no longer hesitated, turned around and stepped onto the stone steps.
The stone steps leading to the underground are winding and winding. They are only about one person tall and can only be passed by one person. The surroundings are polished very smooth, but there are no lighting fixtures.
The entire passage was pitch dark, and Hu Mingxian was not in a hurry. He just walked slowly along the stone steps step by step. At the same time, he also took this time to understand what Mr. Shan said.
As time passed, maybe he had some understanding, or maybe the dark passage was too quiet, and Hu Mingxian's state of mind gradually became calmer.
Almost an hour later, a beam of light finally came to the end of the winding passage. Hu Mingxian stepped into the light without hesitation.
What you see is a huge rocky space, about the size of three or four football fields. Directly in front of it, in front of the rocky wall, is a huge portal, with a dragon carved from two stones, nearly a hundred meters high. Presenting an upright body looking at each other in the air.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
The front paws of the two dragons clasped a huge stone plaque with the two characters "Dragon Gate" written on it. The fonts were vigorous and powerful, giving a sense of weight. The back paws were bent against each other, forming a circular concave in the middle. groove.
In front of the door, there is a stone table with two figures sitting cross-legged on both sides.
The person on the left, wearing a white gown, looks like an old man in his sixties, with a ruddy complexion and only some light wrinkles.
His long white hair was tied up with a jade hairpin. At this moment, the man was holding a yellowed book in one hand and twisting a chess piece in the other, landing on the chessboard carved on the top of the stone table.
The man on the right looks to be only about forty, wearing a black dragon robe and a jade crown with a coiled dragon on his head. At this moment, the man is sitting cross-legged, closing his eyes and regulating his breath, with his hands placed squarely on his knees. Beside him was a broad sword carved with dragons stuck into the ground.
These two people are Luo Haotian, the former emperor of the Gale Dynasty, and Luo Lintian, the current emperor!
When he saw these two people, Hu Mingxian had already confirmed their identities, but what surprised him was that the emperor of the Gale Dynasty was actually retreating in the ancestral lineage of this forbidden land.
Thinking about it this way, Luo Lintian has always been in contact with Luo Haotian. I am afraid that he is the only one in the Gale Dynasty who knows whether Luo Haotian is alive or dead for so many years. Moreover, what happened in the Gale Dynasty, Luo Haotian also You should know it.
Walking towards the two people, Hu Mingxian was also controlling his emotions. The two people in front of him were one of the masterminds who poisoned Lie Ruting and Luo Fan, and the other was the mastermind of suppressing Luo Chenfeng.
Thinking of Lie Ruting, whose life and death were still unknown, the anger in his heart couldn't stop rising. Especially when he saw Luo Lintian, if it hadn't been for what Shan Lao said a moment ago, he would have rushed to her without hesitation. Go over and kill Luo Lintian!
"Are you the Blood Hell Shura that these rumors are making so much noise about?"
Ask and get up!
"Are you Luo Fan, the evil son who should have been poisoned to death?"
When asked, hold the knife!
"You just want to ruin my son's good deeds?"
As soon as he asked, the tyrannical momentum of the Seventh Heaven of Bone Casting burst out, crushing the slowly approaching young man like a tide. With a flick of his wide dragon robe sleeves, Luo Lintian suddenly turned around and pointed the broad knife in his hand at Hu Mingxian.
"If your confidence is in him, I can tell you accurately that he cannot protect you."
With his hands behind his back, Hu Mingxian still walked towards Luo Haotian step by step, not caring about the pressure of the crushing bone. Even this pressure could not trigger his own Qi reaction.
Weak, too weak!
Although Hu Mingxian didn't fight much along the way, and most of the battles he fought were monsters, but every strong person he encountered and saw was much stronger than Luo Lintian.
No, to be precise, Luo Lintian is no longer on the same level as the strong men he met, and cannot be compared with those strong men at all!
Even in the virtual reality world, Wang Ruosong, who was sealed to the blood coagulation realm, his pressure is countless times more powerful than Luo Lintian...
I didn’t want to waste words with Luo Lintian, but just for Luo Haotian’s sake, I still gave him a piece of advice before he died. If he ran away now, maybe he wouldn’t catch up and kill him right away. After all, this time before I came here to ask Luo Haotian about something.
These things are far more important than killing a Luo Lintian.
"presumptuous!"
