"Who!?"
I instantly raised my tone.
The being in this stone chamber cannot be a person.
It depends on what kind of ghost it is.
The other party didn't respond to me, instead silently disappearing from sight...
The spirit of a deceased abbot from the Tian Shou Taoist Temple?
Without a Yuchi Yujian on me, if there are such ghosts, they pose a threat to me...
I was about to retreat and close the door again, but suddenly, an unknown force pushed me from behind, causing me to stumble and directly enter the doorway!
In the midst of the dull sound, the stone door slowly closed.
I was about to grab the door, but it stopped halfway when closing...
Quiet, yes, that instant felt eerily quiet.
Cold sweat kept dripping from my forehead and back, sliding down.
I looked outside with a glance, but no one was there.
Is the ghost in front of the deepest coffin pushing me?
My heart was pounding, and I stared at the door for a long time. It still hadn't closed, which gave me a slight relief.
The ghost inside this stone room wants me to come in, not close the door, so that I can be at ease and leave at any time.
I scanned the coffins once more, not seeing anything odd. Taking a deep breath, I walked towards the deepest one.
But as I approached, I realized that this coffin was actually open.
The lid of the coffin had moved to a third, and I could see what was inside.
However, as soon as the flashlight shone in, I felt my scalp prickle.
A body lay quietly inside the coffin, but his face was covered with bronze swords!
Some of the swords were rusted and turned green, while others were still in good condition.
There were so many swords that I couldn't see the face clearly, even though the eyes were pierced and there were three swords in the mouth!
The skin was a light purple, similar to that of the Taoist Master Gao Tian.
My heart rate is increasing, are these the bones of a deceased Taoist master from a generation of Tian Shou Taoist Temple?
But why did he have to endure such treatment?
The deceased should be treated with respect, especially the head of a sect...
The other coffins were very well-preserved, and even from the material, they looked different from this one.
The one in front of me is a stone coffin, and the coffins seem to be part of the whole ground. The stone house was carved out, and the coffins were carved out from the original foundation.
My eyelids twitched slightly, and I immediately counted the number of coffins, there were thirteen.
I walked to the wall where the spirit tablet was placed and counted, there were only twelve!
Thirteen coffins and twelve spirit tablets...
It means that one of the coffins does not belong to the Tian Shou Taoist Temple!?
That one is the originally Xing Ping Shan Taoist Temple's Huasci Ting Tian Master who died from the energy of the storm?
A sense of suffocation surged up, being occupied by someone at the gate of the mountain, and having one's body so desecrated...
Perhaps the soul of the real person is wandering around in the surroundings, feeling incredibly hopeless and bitter...
Ascending to heaven was a scam, and it's better for him to go to the underworld and be reborn, undergoing the next cycle of rebirth. At least, he won't have to endure this endless loneliness, watching the moon and sun change, watching Lei Ping Shan become what it is today...
I walked back to the coffin again, reached out, and one by one, I pulled the swords from his face.
The holes left by the sword tips looked very creepy, extremely cold, as if a chill wind was blowing from inside.
After all the swords were pulled out, I whispered: "My junior brother, Luo Xian Shen, a Taoist from Si Gu Shan. Seeing the humiliation of the senior's body, I am filled with anger but can only do nothing. Perhaps you witnessed the previous scene, where the Tian Shou Taoist master was filled with evil deeds. Senior master, please appear and help me. I will uphold justice and take vengeance on behalf of heaven!"
My tone was especially sincere.
Applause and clapping sounds can be heard.
My expression changed again. I suddenly turned my head and saw that the person standing behind the stone door was the Tian Shou Taoist master!
He had silently returned.
My sweat beads became as big as marbles, sliding down my face. I tensed my body and slowly approached the coffin, almost touching it.
"You like dealing with ghosts very much, the senior master Gao Tian is like this, and the Yangshen Ghost is like this. It must be inherited. Your parents are experts in manipulating ghosts. I know all your moves in Jin Yang. All the details, you are more suitable for Tian Shou Taoist Temple."
"Even, you have worshipped our first ancestor."
With his words, the corners of Tian Shou Taoist master's mouth widened into a smile.
Me: "..."
The first ancestor.
I worshipped the wrong coffin?
But why is there one less spirit tablet?
"Just... tell the ancestor that I am filled with evil deeds and want him to deal with me. It must be said, you are very bold and somewhat immature."
"He won't come to see me. He's sorry for this lineage of ours. He is a selfish person."
The Tian Shou Taoist master shook his head again.
"Ai."
Another deep sigh, seeming to sigh, seeming to be helpless, and there was a trace of regret.
I tightened my brow, and I could only make do with a spell.
This place has no use for heavenly thunder, and it is barely effective to use the land thunders. But for Tian Shou Taoist master, it might even have no effect at all.
"The Master here originally believed that if one is sincere, the stones and gold can be opened. But I never expected that Luo Xian Shen is as unyielding as the ice that does not melt for ten thousand years. No matter how earnestly I speak or how many paths I think for you, you still do not accept. Even with this elusive thought in your heart, you want the person who once aspired to ascend to heaven to come back and kill me."
"Even if it's wild thinking, it doesn't belong to our Tianshou lineage. Indeed, just like those people from Yunjinshan, Gucang City, Jujushan, and even Sangu Mountain and Sifu mountain, you are indeed hard-headed."
"Fortunately, I was enlightened by the senior master Gao Tian. No wonder he was angry before and why he handled me so ruthlessly. It turns out that I misunderstood him. He is a senior master who has ascended to heaven, but when he returned to the mountain gate and was nostalgic, he encountered you plundering the mountain, stealing tombs, and your use of such items as the Sifuguan Mingjing also caused him to fall from his realm."
"Luo Xian Shen, Luo Xian Shen, do you know that you have repeatedly missed great opportunities?"
My sweat is gradually increasing. There are doubts in my eyes, a dense sense of confusion.
Pointing out?
If the residual soul of Gao Tian has been eliminated and the host body has become dust, how can it be enlightened?
My dad is basically fooling the ghosts.
But he actually managed to fool the Tian Shou Taoist master!?
"What do you really want to say?" I took a deep breath, and asked with my forehead against the wall.
Because I really don't understand the purpose of the Tian Shou Taoist Temple, nor do I know what my dad said. I have to ask from the side to get it, perhaps my dad has some plan, and I need to cooperate with his actions.
"Haha, what do you want to say?"
"No, I just want to tell you that it's too late, Tianshou Daoist Temple, you missed the opportunity. Gao Tian senior also treasures you and considers you extraordinary. He even allowed you to see him after ascending to heaven. But you were obstinate and arrogant, damaging his soul."
"Before, I tried repeatedly to take you as my disciple, but you still refused."
"Now I understand that it is a matter of destiny. Senior master Gao Tian wants you to die before his body, to wipe away the stain on the Gao Tian Taoist Temple. I also have the opportunity to explore the secrets of ascending to heaven. By the time you arrive at Gao Tian Temple, he will take me as his disciple in name."
"Even let me ascend to heaven!"
"You refused the opportunity, but gave the Master here the chance. What do you think in your heart?"
