Chapter 11: Tomb of the Kunlun people
“This is very simple. Why do you have to borrow someone else’s strength? Borrowed strength is only temporary and cannot become your own strength! The Immortal Tomb sounds very powerful. There must be some kind of formation, right? There are ways to break formations, and borrowing a little strength at this time is more acceptable!” I said, touching my chin.
Wu Laogui heard this and made a deep bow to me before saying, “Little Master is truly a god. You have guessed the matter so well. As Little Master said, the five of us were foolishly led by him to the mountains in the north, and it was not necessary to say that there were many difficulties along the way. The immortal tomb was indeed powerful. In the end, the five of us died, and that bastard was seriously injured, but he did not break open the tomb of the immortal.
When Cheng Xin heard this, he frowned and asked, “Is the ginseng in the tomb of the immortal?”
Wu Lao Gui replied, “It was in the immortal’s tomb. Although we didn’t manage to break into the tomb in the end, we actually managed to destroy a large part of it. The tomb revealed some of its true appearance, and on the lawn in front of the tomb, there was indeed a ginseng essence. I couldn’t recognize it at first, but I can always recognize ginseng. At that moment, I had already become a ghost. I saw with my own eyes that the ginseng had already become a spirit. The spirit had gathered into a spirit body, which was a fat baby sleeping there. There was no mistake.
Wu Laogui hurriedly explained to us in case we didn’t believe him.
Chengxin said with a smile, “That’s right. You think that with the skills of that middle-aged Taoist and the Five Sons of One Heart formation, they can’t even break the Immortal’s Tomb. What do you think we can do to get the essence of the ginseng? You don’t have to mention this deal.”
I nodded in agreement. In the end, the essence of the ginseng is just an external object, and Chengxin and I don’t need it. I would never be so conceited as to think that the two of us could break the so-called immortal tomb.
Old Wu was anxious to see my and Chengxin’s attitude, and hurriedly explained, “If I really couldn’t get it, how could I possibly go to the ghost market to trade for it? In fact, the big formation has already been destroyed by us, and I haven’t finished talking. Didn’t the thief get hit by the rebound of the formation of the immortal tomb? He was also seriously injured and at that time, he was also about to die…”
Because he was in a hurry, Wu Laogui stuttered a bit when he spoke, but I and Chengxin understood the general meaning and were able to reconstruct the scene.
At that time, the six of them joined forces to break the formation. As the pressure increased later, the Wu brothers had already seen that something was wrong, especially Wu Laoda, who had already shouted repeatedly when he couldn’t hold on anymore: “Master, don’t take the treasure, I feel like my body is about to fly out, I think I’m going to die.”
Unfortunately, once the formation is activated, it cannot be stopped unless the person in the center of the formation stops it. At this time, the middle-aged Taoist also revealed his true nature and said, “If you die, you die. After I obtain the treasure in the immortal’s tomb and obtain the flying immortal, you will also be credited! You’d better not try anything, otherwise the formation will turn against you. If you fight, you might have a chance. If you don’t, hmm… your soul will fly away and scatter, and you’ll endure endless pain before your soul flies away and scatters.
How could the Wu brothers not understand this? Because for the past ten years, they have repeatedly practiced this formation. To use an analogy, once this formation is activated, it is like a very narrow highway, and the soul power they output is like a car driving at high speed on this highway, and it cannot slow down. Only after reaching the end can it slow down. Just imagine what would happen if a car driving at high speed suddenly applied the brakes on a very narrow highway? The car would be destroyed and the people in it would die.
In the past, Wu Laogui and his brothers didn’t think this was a problem. After all, it was their understanding of the combined attack formation, and there was no reason to stop the output.
But at this time, they realized that this was a bitter fruit that they had to swallow.
Therefore, the Wu Laogui Five Brothers had no choice but to work hard to maintain the formation, hoping that the middle-aged Taoist priest would soon break open the tomb of the immortal and let them go. But this idea was also naive. In the end, even if it was broken open, there was no reason for that person to let them go.
In the end, they failed. Except for Wu Laogui, all the other brothers were scattered to the four winds.
“Originally, my fourth brother was unnecessary. He was stronger than all of us, but at the last moment, he suddenly stopped transmitting his soul power. You have to know that this formation is a synthesis of power, but before that, it was a combination of the two, forcibly merging the power of the third brother at the same time. Among the five of us, only the third brother was born alone. The fourth brother and I were twins. He stopped , which means that my soul power output has no strength. Then, I was able to preserve my meager soul power at the last moment, and I was able to preserve my soul. My poor fourth brother…” When he said this, Wu Laogui’s face was sad and sad, but he was a ghost and couldn’t really cry. My brother Chengxin and I also gave him a comforting expression. At that time, who would have thought that this situation would be sympathetic.
As it turned out, the old ghost insisted that his fourth brother had shouted revenge in his head before he died. He was confused at the time, but later thought that it could only be explained as his fourth brother having said this to him before his soul flew apart.
The middle-aged Taoist priest was also seriously injured at the time, so badly that he was barely alive. Therefore, he was weaker than ordinary people at the time and was unable to discover that Wu Laoer’s soul was looking at him with hatred. In his opinion, the five brothers had long since been scattered to the four winds, right?
The middle-aged Taoist priest died the next day.
“But he didn’t fly apart, just his soul was a little weak, weaker than mine! I wanted to take revenge, but even if my situation was a little better than his, there was no way I could make his soul fly apart. I didn’t have the ability to do that. You know, I’m just a useless ghost who can’t do anything other than the concentric formation! So, I could only follow it from afar to see what it was going to do?” Wu Laogui said with clenched teeth.
Next, from Wu Laogui’s account, we learned the whole story again. It turned out that although the middle-aged Taoist priest was weak, he still had deep connections. His soul floated all the way back to the so-called “master’s door,” and Wu Laogui followed him.
The journey was naturally very thrilling. On several occasions, Wu Laogui almost got discovered. Fortunately, he felt that the heavens were protecting him, and he was able to follow the middle-aged Taoist to his so-called “master’s door” without incident.
At the temple, it became a “ghost keeper” for one of the middle-aged Taoist priests through some methods, and then let it discover an amazing secret, the secret of the immortal’s tomb!
“All I want is revenge. If you can help me get revenge, I will tell you the secret. The Immortal Tomb is definitely accessible, and the benefits are not just the essence of the Immortals, but I also want to make it clear that the thief has been worshiped for many years and has long since recovered and become a powerful ghost cultivator. Today, his disciples should be coming.” Wu Laogui said seriously.
I and Chengxin looked at each other. It seems that finding the ginseng is really not simple. It seems that we still have to fight with other forces. Our lineage is pitiful. We never form gangs or cliques. When our elders leave, we are ultimately weak and powerless. How can we fight with other forces?
Chengxin sighed and said, “It seems that the ginseng essence is still not destined to be ours. Chengyi, compared to the ginseng essence, life is more important. After all, we haven’t done so much, and I can’t let you take risks for a ginseng essence. That would be for your own good, but it would harm you.”
At this point, Brother Chengxin also apologized to Wu Laogui, saying, “How about this? I’ll still be willing to worship you for ten years. It’s my own dilemma. If I don’t find the ginseng essence, I don’t think you’ll be punished. I sympathize with what you’ve been through, but the fact is, if I go with him, it’s like a chicken trying to fight a rock. I’m sorry.”
Chengxin said this sincerely. Wu Laogui looked at me anxiously and said, “Such a powerful young master, are you really afraid of them?”
I looked at Wu Laogui apologetically. It wasn’t a matter of fear, but of value. Chengxin and I really didn’t care about the so-called treasures, because our inheritance was already rich enough.
I really wanted to help Wu Laogui get his revenge, but this kind of grudge is something that I can’t get involved in, and it would only cause more trouble.
Wu Laogui was desperate. He sighed and said, “Well, the two young masters are also upright people, and they are also self-aware. They are not greedy people. What about the tomb of the Kunlun people? Someone will never care about it.”
The tomb of the Kunlun people? I stood up with a start!
