The cave under the first line of the Erxian Mountain Tianzhansha Valley is the cave of the Erxin Taoist of the Taiyin Sect.
Due to the chaos in the world, the Taiyin Cult Master and the Taiyin Ghost Mother went north at the same time, trying to find a way to take advantage of the situation and make the Taiyin Sect stronger, just like the White Bone Sect, to conquer a piece of heaven and earth, or even unify the entire world and establish a dynasty!
They were studying, and it was like pie in the sky. The prince and the others happened to be passing by here. The Erxin Taoist priest was recently making sacrifices to the Erxin Mirror. He wanted to capture the living people and extract their essence and soul to refine the treasure. He sent his disciples to cut it outside. On the way to arrest someone, he saw the three princes passing by and went up to arrest them, but Xia Cunxu chopped them off with his sword.
Taoist Erxin saw the soul lamp of the disciple in the palace destroyed, and hurriedly came out to check. The two sides started fighting. Although Xia Cunxu was only in the elixir-forming stage, he practiced the authentic Xuanmen. A pair of fairy swords were invincible to all evils, and Jinxuan was by his side. Help, Taoist Erxin can't capture them for a while.
During the fight, the Taiyin Cult Leader and Taiyin Ghost Mother in the cave came out to check. They cast spells to capture all three of them into the cave. They searched for the jade seal and golden book that the prince was carrying. They were overjoyed!
"I have long wanted to open the tombs of the Thirteen Emperors of the Great Xia Dynasty, and find the bones and souls of the emperors of the past dynasties to refine the Taiyin Tower. Once it is refined, it will not only be invincible against the enemy, but also suppress the luck and ensure my unification. Country!" The leader of Taiyin pinched the prince's face, as if he was looking at some rare treasure. The more he looked at it, the more he fell in love with it. "It's a pity that the imperial mausoleum of Daxia is blocked by the immortal formation. Outsiders cannot enter. Only descendants of the royal family must bear the dragon spirit. Only then can we open it! Now that we have captured this boy, it is God who is helping us to seize this beautiful country!"
The Ming Tombs of Daxia are different from the Imperial Tombs of Taizu. In this dynasty, Taizu unified the world in the south. Later, the Holy Ancestor moved the capital to the north and made the capital the capital. Therefore, Taizu was buried in Huangzhou, which was forcibly broken open by the White Bone Sect. There are also many clan tombs.
Starting from the Holy Ancestor Emperor, the Imperial Mausoleum of Daxia must be buried in an emperor who has made great contributions to the country or family before his death. Even the late emperor opened the mausoleum alone after his death and was unable to enter the Imperial Mausoleum of Daxia.
Because buried inside are the thirteen most powerful emperors of the Great Xia Dynasty since the Holy Ancestor, their luck, merit, kingship, power, and the power they carried in the past to be the incense and aspiration of all peoples, etc., are all the strongest. If Being able to obtain their bones and remnant souls and refine them into magic weapons is extraordinary.
The leader of Taiyin could not wait, because the Lianshan Sect had already captured the capital, and there was no guarantee that they would not use brute force to destroy the imperial mausoleum and steal the treasures. Although the imperial mausoleum was extremely difficult to open, the strength of the Lianshan Sect might not be impossible, and once abnormal means were used If the tomb is forcibly broken, the emperor's coffin inside will automatically catch fire and be burned to ashes. It will also cause a violent explosion, and all the major treasures will be burned to the ground.
The restrictions on Taizu's Imperial Mausoleum are not as good as those on Daxia's Imperial Mausoleum, but there are also similar immortal methods to prohibit them, such as the White Bone Cult, which forcibly explodes and can only get some broken jewelry, gold and silver, which is simply a waste of natural resources.
So, Taiyin Cult Leader and Ghost Mother, along with Erxin Taoist and Erxin Taoist's disciples, all set off and rushed to the Daxia Imperial Tomb.
Taoist Erxin knew that this matter was of great importance, so he only left two young disciples to look after the house, and asked them to follow the method taught to them to keep Xia Cunxu, the one with the deepest Taoism and the most stable soul among the three, and extract the soul. , Sacrifice and refine the two-faced state of mind.
Liang Xingyang cross-examined the two little Taoist priests respectively, and they all got the same answer. He took the Erxinjing on the altar, which was a pure silver mirror with two polished sides. There were embossed talismans on the edges and a handle. .
Looking at the mirror from the front, there is Liang Xingyang inside, with a face full of joy and a proud smile.
Looking at the mirror from the back, it was still the same Liang Xingyang, but with furrowed eyebrows and red eyes, looking extremely angry.
He looked at Xia Cunxu in the mirror. On the front, he looked shy and well-behaved, but on the back, he looked pale and his eyes were bleeding.
Liang Xingyang found this mirror interesting, but he couldn't figure out how to use it for a while, and he was eager to leave, so he kept it in his pocket for the time being.
Xia Cunxu anxiously released the fairy sword and beheaded the two little Taoist priests. Liang Xingyang took out the Nine Heavens Divine Ember, set a fire, and sent out a stream of flames, burning the two heart holes, and then they came out together and rushed to the Daxia Emperor's Mausoleum. .
The Imperial Tomb of Daxia is located on the eastern outskirts of the capital city. There are many trees on the mountain. They are full of towering trees that have been around for thousands of years and are full of aura.
At this time, the Lianshan Sect occupied the capital.
The troops were divided into two groups, heading west to continue to pursue the White Bone Sect, and heading south to attack the south of the Yangtze River. The 30,000 black cavalry armored army was intercepted by Liang Xingyang in the north of Tianmu City, and was defeated and retreated.
The remaining people race around the capital and rob the cities and towns when they see them! If you see any living people, go and kill them!
The closer they got to the capital, the more people were killed. It could be said that there were almost corpses all over the ground. Those who were far away were inevitably affected. The two flew straight towards the imperial mausoleum. On the way, they saw more than a dozen villages and towns, all of which had been looted, including humans and animals. They were all killed, and even one city was completely killed. The city fell into deathly silence, and not even a living creature could be found.
This much flesh and blood essence is a great tonic for all kinds of demons and gods.
The Lianshan Sect claims to support a hundred thousand demons and gods, big and small, including wolves, dogs, cats and rabbits, snakes, rats, pythons and pigs, bears, deer, eagles, falcons, fish, turtles, shrimps and crabs. All kinds of beasts rely on their magical powers to swoop in the city full of corpses, sucking blood. Eating semen, sucking the vitality of the remaining soul.
The demon gods only have souls and no physical bodies, but they can summon their own kind, summon all kinds of animals that are not psychic, and gnaw bones and eat meat. Under the cover of night, they can see wild dogs, raccoons, wild wolves and rats, There were also wild deer, wild sheep, hares and monkeys that were originally herbivores, and they all came to eat the flesh and blood of the corpse.
There were even many wild birds flying over, jumping around on the corpse, and constantly pecking at the flesh.
This kind of miserable situation in the world is comparable to hell!
However, Liang Xingyang didn't have time to kill these demon gods, he had to rush to save the prince.
The two rushed to the Daxia Imperial Mausoleum. The Lianshan Sect had not yet had the energy to occupy the place, but the restriction on the mausoleum gate had already been opened.
The door was made of two solid pieces of white jade, with pure gold animal head door knockers and many cloud-patterned talismans.
The leader of Taiyin used the prince's blood to open the door. After entering, the jade door closed again and the restrictions were restored to their original state. Outsiders could no longer enter and could only wait for the descendants of Taizu inside to reopen the door.
"What can we do?" Xia Cunxu was dumbfounded.
Liang Xingyang was also very anxious: "How about I try to see if I can break in by force?"
Obviously, this is not a good idea. It would be very troublesome for anyone to forcefully break through the Imperial Tomb of Taizu. The restraining power of the Imperial Tomb of Great Xia is far more than ten times greater than that of the Imperial Tomb of Taizu. He may not be able to break through it, and even if it does. If it is broken, the noise caused by it will definitely be loud, which will definitely alarm the demon gods in the capital. Once the Lianshan Cult people invade in large numbers, even if they escape, the Great Xia Imperial Tomb will probably not be saved.
Of course Xia Cunxu disapproved. He walked to the door anxiously and said, "Let me try. I am also a direct descendant of Taizu, although I don't have dragon energy..."
He bit his index fingers and grabbed the two gold rings. The restraint did not bounce back. He relaxed a little. If an outsider dared to grab the gold ring, he immediately triggered the restraint. Thunder and fire appeared. The first time he warned, the second time he would kill the enemy. Lightning strikes, fire burns, and it is refined into ashes.
"It's okay, it's okay..." Xia Cunxu grabbed the golden ring and used it according to the Xia family's ancestral collar-opening technique. He muttered in a low voice, "Forefathers... Cunxu, an unfilial child, has to go to the mausoleum to save the prince. , please, bless the child, let me in..."
As he prayed, light appeared on the jade door, and there was a rumble inside. Xia Cunxu pulled back hard, and actually opened the door!
"I succeeded! The door is opened! Master, I can open it without dragon energy!" He was harmed by demons!"
Seeing the opening of the Jade Gate, Liang Xingyang was not happy at all, but his heart sank. He looked at the excited Xia Cunxu and felt the dragon energy emanating from him. Although it was not strong, it was real. He saw I have been with the emperor and felt the dragon energy in him. I have also been in contact with the prince and officials in the court, and they also have the dragon energy from the emperor.
Xia Cunxu is a branch of the royal family and has no official position. Logically speaking, he should not have the slightest trace of dragon energy in his body, but now he does!
Liang Xingyang thought of an extremely distressing possibility, but he didn't say it out loud.
The two quickly entered the imperial mausoleum. As soon as their front feet entered, the jade door behind them closed automatically and the restrictions were restored to their original state.
Huanglingli
It is a very large complex of buildings, comparable to an imperial city. There are a large number of roads paved with jade, and many palaces and pavilions. Each of the thirteen emperors has an independent large courtyard. , is not a simple palace, but a courtyard with nine entrances, as well as east-west courtyards. The pavilions and pavilions in each courtyard are better built than the palaces of princes and princes on the ground.
However, the pavilions and pavilions are not for living people to live in, but are like temples, enshrining human statues.
For ministers who have made great achievements, the emperor will grant special permission to enter the Daxia Imperial Mausoleum, which is equivalent to enjoying the Ancestral Temple. The coffin is stored in the back hall, while the front hall is carved with a statue of the person, and a merit monument is erected to record the events during his lifetime.
They first came to the nearest Wuzong Underworld Palace and saw a bloody hand hanging on the black plaque in front of the palace.
Seeing this hand, Xia Cunxu's heart suddenly lifted, and he flew up to take it off: "This... this belongs to the prince..."
Liang Xingyang shook his head after looking at it: "It's not the prince's, it's Jinxuan's."
He is very familiar with the prince and knows what his hand looks like. If it is a similar hand, he may be able to tell that this hand is very different from the prince's hand. And among those brought here by the leader of Taiyin, besides the prince, there is also Jinxuan. It can only be his.
Hearing that he was not the prince, Xia Cunxu's mood eased slightly: "They killed Jinxuan!"
He had just met Jinxuan not long ago and admired him very much. He had both intelligence and good temperament, and he was very comfortable with others.
The two of them continued walking inside. There was a human part hanging on the plaque in front of each Hades palace, including hands, feet, arms and legs. When they arrived at the twelfth palace, there was a bloody human head hanging on it. Sure enough, it was Jinxuan!
Liang Xingyang's heart twitched when he saw the staring, unblinking face, but now was not the time to feel sad and grieved, so they immediately rushed to the last palace as quickly as possible.
The thirteen palaces of the underworld are not horizontally and vertically regular, but follow the momentum of the underground mountains, like dragons, with many forks. It was the first time for both of them to come here, so the walking was not smooth.
Finally, they arrived at the innermost Holy Ancestor Hades Palace. In front of the gate, an altar had been set up, and six Taiyin flags were erected, each flag burning with pale white flames.
In front of the altar, there is a copper pot with green flames burning inside. A person is lying in it lifelessly like a rag doll. His head is tilted back to the outside of the edge of the pot, motionless... …
"Prince!" Xia Cunxu shouted out loudly. He flew over with his sword, but was grabbed by Liang Xingyang.
The leader of Taiyin was practicing magic in front of the altar, and the Taiyin Ghost Mother led her disciples to protect the law. She didn't care about the people who came in: "Why are there only two of you? The more people come, the better, just in time to offer sacrifices to the Taiyin Pagoda... …why you?!"
She turned around and met Liang Xingyang's eyes. Both of them were stunned.
Taiyin Ghost Mother did not expect that Liang Xingyang would come. Liang Xingyang founded the Tianxin Sect. Although he was often missing, his two disciples were very active. One was the master of the Yaowang Sect in charge of the Ambergris Valley, and the other was the master of the Tianjian Sect in charge of the Fire Copper Mine. Lord, appears often.
Liang Xingyang led his disciples to kill Patriarch Youzhai. The other three people who were also members of the Four Evils in Bianshan were all horrified and fearful. This Taiyin Ghost Mother had an affair with Patriarch Youzhai and had given birth to a child. She knew full well that Ancestor Youzhai's magic power was not inferior to hers, but all of her disciples were destroyed in the hands of Liang Xingyang. She knew that several disciples of the Taiyin Sect had died in the hands of Liang Xingyang, but she never thought of coming for revenge. I know that Liang Xingyang is very powerful.
Liang Xingyang was also surprised when he saw her, because she looked familiar, not in appearance, but in aura, and he felt that he must have seen her before.
His brain quickly retrieved memories from the past: darkness, ghosts, corpses, black clothes, women... old women...
After being stunned for more than ten seconds, Liang Xingyang finally remembered that when he left Yuxiao Mountain in the west and arrived at Kunyuan, he met an old woman outside Qiaoshan County. A few days ago, Qiaoshan County went through a bloody battle. The officers and soldiers retreated and fled. The people inside were looted by the White Bone Cult. Those who ran away were killed, and the rest were hijacked by the White Bone Cult and dragged away the strong men. take away.
In the end, Qiaoshan
All that was left in the county was an empty city and corpses strewn all over the ground.
Then, there was such an old woman, skinny as a stick, with dark and dry skin, no teeth, stooped body, and wearing tattered cloth clothes. Liang Xingyang remembered that scene. At that time, her dark arms and thighs were exposed. Outside, they said they wanted to find some food from the corpses...
At that time, I only walked around the city and came out. The old woman disappeared, and there were only rats everywhere eating the corpse!
Liang Xingyang thought the old woman had been eaten by a rat, so he ran to find the rat king Li Zhenghao.
The old woman in my memory is both different and very similar to the Taiyin Ghost Mother, very similar but not very similar. It can only be said that the old woman at that time looked like the ghost mother who had aged, while the ghost mother now is What that old woman looked like when she was young!
