True enough, there were two gates within the Sentence Mountains that were much more dilapidated than the main gate. Both gates were completely empty, indicating that all the disciples had gathered in one place. Most of them had died in battle, and a small number had been hidden away.
Under the guidance of Old Gong, they discovered formations in the two mountain gates, which were indeed recently repaired and not very stable, and immediately set about reinforcing them.
According to Wu Jinluan's assertion, they and Old Gong deduced that the Juxu Mountain is a formidable dragon, with three cave entrances on the mountain collectively exerting downward pressure, and using such a long copper pillar implies there might be an unfavorable corpse beneath it, not merely an ordinary unfavorable corpse.
These things, I only have a superficial understanding of; I know nothing at all about the content of the formations.
However, I dimly recall that during the time of expelling the plague ghosts, Zhang Canglang had a conversation with Mao Xi, who had said that there was an unfavorable corpse buried under the Juxu Mountain. If all three True Immortals were not present, it always made people uneasy. Therefore, they were so eager to retrieve Guan Liangfei in order to hope that he could awaken from the zombie state.
"Old Gong has explained that the reason for the sentence mountains needing three True Immortals is because we went to the place you previously found the Night Light Cave before, but we found nothing," Wu Jinluan said with a bitter laugh. "However, with Mr. Mao and your guidance, as well as Old Gong's advice, this formation should have been unprecedentedly stable since its existence. As long as it is not destroyed by external forces, it should be able to maintain itself for decades."
"Several decades of time is enough for Juxu Mountain to catch its breath again and allow one of those individuals to become a True Immortal."
Wu Jinlan became serious.
I nodded, indicating that I understood.
Old Gong returned to my shoulder, scrutinizing Mr. Mao repeatedly and glancing around persistently.
Apart from that, he didn't make any other overly aggressive moves, so I didn't stop him.
Shortly after, the gentlemen carried out all six corpses.
None of the corpses were an exception; their skin had a purple hue. Out of the six, three had not awakened from the zombie state, while the other three had some downy feathers.
The former were those who willingly entered this state, while the latter were those who died peacefully and had no courage to be reborn, or had not reached the necessary strength to do so.
"Please take these bones to Jin Yang. As God of Mysteries, I am sure you know how to use the tomb. This should not be difficult for you?" Mao San said.
I nodded.
"Well, since that is the case, I will wait for you in Jin Yang. I will wait for you to bring the other two corpses. This time, you must not break your promise. We need to complete that thing before him." Mao San's demeanor was resolute.
Regarding what that thing is exactly, as well as information about the person behind Wu Leng, he still refused to disclose much. To know more about its intricacies, it seems I will have to wait until I bring two more true corpse bones.
I nodded again in agreement, and Mao San burst into a cheerful laugh before he started walking forward.
Wu Jinluan tested me, and I informed him that I would let the gentlemen follow with the corpse.
We followed at the end.
During this time, I explained the situation and the plan to Wu Jinluan. We would go to Si Gui Mountain, as there were two missing corpses. We would need to use those from the Bai family, who must have true immortals.
"It's outside the plan, but it makes sense," Wu Jinluan nodded.
Old Gong grunted and then said, "I'm very dissatisfied."
"Hmm?" I looked at him in confusion.
"Hmm?" I looked at him in confusion.
Only I and Wu Jinluan, as well as the two gentlemen in front, could roughly hear it. Any further on, no one else could hear.
Wu Jinluan had a stunned expression, as if deep in thought.
As for the things about Master's Numerology, I was completely ignorant and couldn't understand at all. Therefore, I didn't ask any further.
Old Gong complained for a while, and then we exited the passage back into the main hall.
The statue of the Three Martial Immortals still looked majestic.
I'm not sure if their Yin-spiritual essence is still lingering within the mountain gates.
What kind of feeling does it evoke to witness the destruction of the mountain gate with your own eyes?
Maybe Mao San is right. Since they are gone, the Juxu Mountain itself has encountered great problems. Perhaps this generation doesn't even have a disciple who can bear the Yin-spiritual essence of the True Immortal.
But if there were even one, the Ba Zhai would have no chance to assert their dominance.
On the way down the mountain, there were no accidents, and we didn't encounter any surviving disciples of Juxu Mountain. During the journey, I contacted Cai Zhi and asked him to instruct the ghost chambers near Juxu Mountain to send people to transport the bodies.
And I informed Cai Zhi that this matter must be kept secret. After these corpse carriers pass through the ghost chambers, he must personally oversee them and make sure they don't leak out.
The seriousness in my voice made Cai Zhi tense up, and he assured me that there wouldn't be any problems. He said he would personally select people and have them sent to Juxu Mountain immediately. He also stated that he would go to Jin Yang right away to prepare for the rendezvous.
After the phone call ended, it was a monotonous descent down the mountain.
It took almost a day and a half for us to descent with the heavy burden of those corpses.
The location was pointed out by Mao San, avoiding the town.
After communicating with Cai Zhi again, we finally met up with the people from the ghost chamber.
The number of people who came was not many, just two. They greeted me, and I learned that they were the leader and the deputy leader of the ghost chamber near Juxu Mountain.
The two saw so many corpse of Taoist, they were quivering and extremely confused.
One of them asked me, "Sir... Did you inherit your father's trade and dug up the old tomb in Juxu Mountain?"
The man next to him stepped on his foot suddenly.
The man who spoke felt a sharp pain and still looked scared.
It's not about anything else. All these corpses are without exception wearing purple robes, and it's clear that they are the bodies of True Immortals. Who wouldn't be scared? That would be unnatural.
"Quiet down, focus on doing things, and follow Mr. Mao." I spoke in a calm tone.
Mao San did not want Wu Jinluan's help. He would follow along to transport the bodies and there wouldn't be any unexpected incidents.
The two men dared not say more. After placing the corpses on the vehicle, Mao San got on as well, closed the door, and they drove off.
Our group then left Juxu Mountain and headed directly towards Si Gui Mountain.
The time spent was not long.
Moreover, as we approached Si Gui Mountain, there were no obstructions.
The people from Si Gui Mountain had been patrolling around Si Gui Mountain, and they may have known about the mass murder of the sentence mountains, so they went back to intercept us.
This is also a residual force of Juxu Mountain. After they merged with the people on the mountain, their number should still be significant. A legitimate Daoist school will not be easily completely wiped out, and there will always be some remaining strength.
When I met He Youtian, it was about the fifth day since Juxu Mountain was attacked.
He Youtian was very joyful because I had safely returned.
Si Gui Mountain was however, on edge.
This has nothing to do with anything else. In the Yinyang realm, the four Daoist sects do have a bit of an understanding that everyone can agree on, which is: when the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold.
The news of the destruction of Juxu Mountain has always been spread.
