When Ma and San gathered again, there were many awkward moments. Add to that my own understanding and Wu Jinluan's perception of him at the time, which carried some distance.
However, in the end, the additional journey through the mountain paths allowed Wu Jinluan and Mao You San to chat a lot, further enhanced by Mao You San's "not being concerned with trivial matters."
We seem to have left no gaps behind.
Yet, I still maintained that sliver of distance towards Mao You San.
You should believe him, but not too much.
I would feel that way, I'm just the fish in his bamboo sieve.
Lao Gong did not come to me but went to Wu Jinluan instead.
Wu Jinluan instructed the Mr. to go to the back of the Three Mao Zhenjun Temple and look at the layout of the array there.
Soon, I and Mao You San walked to the door on the north side of the hall.
Mao You San led the way inside, and I followed behind.
This is a passage that is more than two meters wide, sloping downward, with stone walls on both sides.
From the front, it was not discovered, and now it is only understood that this hall is built on the mountain body, and this passage directly enters the mountains?
After walking about a hundred and ten meters, we pushed open a door, and everything in front of us opened up suddenly.
The moonlight casts its glow, the round moon is bright and clear.
Yet, the surroundings are not downhill paths nor slopes, but rather sloping upwards. It's as if this place is a volcanic crater, concave inwards. The height here, the height around, is about forty to fifty meters?
The vegetation is lush, and the air is filled with the fragrant aroma of medicinal herbs.
You can see that there are holes spaced out on the sloping walls, one after another, and inside them, it's not clear what is stored.
I was slightly puzzled and asked, "Why haven't they come in?"
In theory, the door is right in the hall of the Taoist temple, so open, would the people of the eight mansions just look at the door and not enter?
"Is it that simple? You yourself have been here several times and have you ever seen the door? This door is a mechanism, which is hidden in the array. I have carefully looked at the array and found its flaws and patchwork. When opening the door, I also help to fix the array."
"I believe those Daoists have seen the array here, but they didn't want to fix it. Even if they knew there were some unusual things under the mountain, even they didn't want to provoke trouble. Naturally, they missed this Feng Shui treasure. " Mao You San's small eyes looked very lively, and there was even a bit of fighting spirit.
"You're really aiming for such a grand feat? Do you absolutely need eight human corpses?" I couldn't help but ask this, as I had finally mustered the courage to speak.
"Eight human corpses are not enough, I need to obtain spiritual beings." Mao You San emphasized.
A slight chill ran through my heart.
Indeed, he had mentioned earlier that he had hunted many Taoists and wanted them to manifest as spiritual beings, but he had failed.
"What exactly is manifesting as a spiritual being?" I thought of Ding Rui Pu and asked Mao You San.
"I will tell you. I can even let you observe." Mao You San was eager to walk towards a hole.
I asked the question, but Mao You San didn't answer a single one.
"Oh, by the way, I can tell you something that will at least alleviate your worries. Wu ling is not that easily handled by the Four Rules Mountain. That Chimera ancestor is an existence between manifesting as a spiritual being and manifesting as a celestial being. He can affect the world because he can still appear, and in addition, there is that Chimera Jade Pendant."
"Moreover, there is a person on the Si Guoshan who is similar to Gong Liangfei of Juqu Mountain after being dead and reborn as a Taoist. However, the people on the Si Guoshan themselves have forgotten his existence, believing that he has already died."
"This is what the Si Guoshan Taoist told me. That person is considered a villain of Si Guoshan, which is his reason. It was because of him that the White Bloodline was cut off. Therefore, he voluntarily underwent corpse decomposition, but unexpectedly managed to wake up, and even his strength had been enhanced."
"He will never forgive himself, and he will never leave that place of atonement unless the Si Guoshan Ming Mirror appears in front of him. Then he will do something or when there is a risk of the Si Guoshan gate collapsing, if he is still alive, he will appear."
Mao You San's words were like a thunderclap in the clear sky, stunning me and leaving me dizzy.
"Wu Ling does not know the details of this person, but those behind him will tell him about the risks of the Chimera ancestor. Moreover, thank goodness you did not use the Si Guoshan Mirror to find that person and send him to kill Wu Ling. He thought that the White Bloodline had been completely cut off." Mao You San added this sentence, leaving me especially scared and cold sweat rolling down my back.
This is equivalent to finding the person who kills Wu Ling, which actually provides Wu Ling with a huge bottom card?
For a moment, I was still digesting all this information.
Mao You San, however, walked to the entrance of a cave.
These sloping mountain walls have ramps connecting each cave entrance.
The caves are not deep, about three meters deep, and the interior is quite elegant, with some ritual objects, paintings and calligraphy, and Taoist robes, which resembles a small room.
The coffin is quietly placed in the center, like a bed.
Mao You San rubbed his hands together and opened the first casket.
The deep purple Taoist robe was so dazzling that even looking at it for a few moments made one's eyes spin. The slightly purple corpse, although withered, seemed to still contain immense vitality.
The deceased's mouth was tightly shut, and his hair and eyebrows had fallen out completely.
This was not death by dismemberment, but by the practice of corpse dissolution.
However, he did not wake up, and his breathing had ceased.
Mao You San looked stunned, but his face was full of disappointment.
"The time is too long, and the ancestral qi has been cut off. It's useless."
Shaking his head, Mao You San left the cave and moved towards the next one.
Only after I closed the coffin did I continue following Mao You San.
He had already opened the second casket in the second cave!
In this casket, there was also a body inside, but on top of its head was a sword piercing down, and one could still see the blade in the slightly open mouth.
The deceased was lifelike, and there was a faint vitality emanating from it. Even a little white down grew on its head.
This body was heading towards featherization, but it had not yet achieved it.
Moreover, he had not manifested as a celestial being.
I have come into contact with many corpses that have reached the level of manifesting as celestial beings, and I can tell the difference.
"Good!"
Mao You San's eyes finally showed a trace of surprise!
"One has been found, we'll see the next one later. Hahaha." He smiled even more on his face, and walked towards the third cave mouth.
In this volcano-like valley, there are twenty-seven such caves. However, only six corpses satisfied Mao You San.
His standards are too high.
It's either that the corpse dissolution has not completely cut off vitality.
Or, it's either one that's still in the process of corpse dissolution and has not yet completely lost its vitality. Or, it has a bit of featherization, but not a completely lifeless body.
The six cave mouths had all been marked, and I followed Mao You San back down below. Mao You San was still pacing back and forth, he was still making calculations with his hands.
I had a slightly unsettling idea, just about to voice my objection.
But Mao You San spoke first, "Spirit manifestation, I have an idea. You must agree, it's very important, you can't refuse."
