"Young man, you should have gone out more and seen more in the past. There are mountains beyond mountains and towers beyond towers. One person is taller than another. Your definition of high people is too shallow. According to what you said, each person in the Ba Zhai lineage is a high person, right? Very high people?" Old Gong's eyes held a touch of mockery.
Wu Jinlan and others got up without understanding the reason.
However, I thought of something that is very similar to the present situation.
In the General Mountain, we left last time was to use the Yin Dragon Water to escape.
This is not the key. Qiu Ji explained that the Yin Dragon Water here is full, so it wouldn't be like the scene we encountered, where after entering the water for the final time, we came out quickly.
The key was that one of the monks under the hat used an unknown art to enter a special state, his breathing was barely there, and he was as if he had been said by Old Gong, dying but not dead.
After that, the people from Bai Mu only inserted the white feathers into his body and finally swallowed the Corpse Dan.
That state, people from the Ba Zhai can use, then Ji Qi can also use it!
So can we put it into this Yin Dragon Water?
"Alright, then Old Gong will let you see something." Old Gong spoke again and explained the unique breathing method of the Ba Zhai lineage to Qiu Ji. Then, Old Gong also expressed a doubt, "There's still a little problem with it. He can't keep staying in the water, can he? The breathing method is indeed special and can keep someone alive for a long time, but it's impossible to live in the water for months. Is he being unreasonable?"
"That's it." Qiu Ji's face turned pale, and the two words he said made the atmosphere in the field change.
"Qiu Ji, do not suddenly say depressing words. There is no such terrible situation." Liu Yujie spoke up in a deep voice.
"He went in, we couldn't get in, Second Elder, something big is about to happen!" Qiu Ji's emotions were still difficult to calm down, and he looked particularly desolate.
"Young man, you need to make things clear. You start crying right away like that, what kind of thing is that?" Old Gong's eyes and tone were particularly disgusted.
Wu Jinlan and others also talked in turns to comfort, implying that they wanted Qiu Ji to calm down and speak clearly.
With his head hanging low, Qiu Ji stared at the water mouth for a moment before saying, "In the Yin Dragon Water, there is also a coffin. Inside the coffin is a body that guards the most important place of our ancient Qiang city. The Yin Dragon geomancy nourishes and also suppresses. Once there is a change in the geomancy, it will open the coffin. Usually, it moves through the Yin Dragon. If that Ji Qi followed the coffin and used the breathing method from earlier that Old Gong has taught you, then he could get in."
"The coffin will be exposed to the surface at certain specific times from the only place, and then it will sink back into the water, continuing this cycle."
"We can't go in through the path he entered. No one can breathe that way."
"And my strength is not enough. The Master died suddenly, and there are too many things he didn't get to say. We can only watch helplessly, unable to stop him. He's in there, as if he's in a place where no one exists..."
Qiu Ji raised his hand and slapped himself heavily on the face!
"I am powerless, I am useless, I deserve to die!" In the crisp slap sound, five bloody marks appeared on his face.
"You say you're powerless, and you really hit yourself hard." Old Gong was not in a hurry or angry.
"The point is, isn't the place where Ji Qi is going not the place for suppressing evil spirits?" Wu Jinlan asked again.
Qiu Ji remained desolate, and he nodded.
"However, the entire ancient Qiang city is a trap. If he goes there and gains more opportunities to obtain things, he can suppress the evil spirits. The entire ancient Qiang city will be destroyed!" Qiu Ji spoke with certainty.
"And Mr. Qiu, this is where you're wrong. If it's so dangerous, why don't you find a way? Yet you only say 'finished'? In front of our Daoist Temple of Ascension to Heaven, many geomancers have encountered situations more hopeless than yours. None of us have said 'finished'.”
"And besides, the Burial Shadow Observing Mountain Technique may not be unbeatable. We are completely unfamiliar with this kind of geomancy, yet we have entered a great geomantic site with such a technique. Although people died there, we still saw the master...” Wu Jinlan changed his tone and said, "the main mausoleum."
The tomb chamber under the deep pool appears to be the main tomb, but in fact, it's not. One has to look from the top of the tomb to see the projection of the bone skeleton emitting purple gas, which is where the real tomb is located.
We were just tricked.
But what Wu Jinlan said isn't wrong either; this indeed represents that we have entered the geomancy of the Burial Shadow Observing Mountain Technique.
Qiu Ji admitted that he had become weaker, but he was still able to understand. Entering such a geomantic setup again was not necessarily impossible!
Ji Qi must be captured, and it must be done alive!
"Qiu Ji, why are you still hesitating and worrying?" Liu Yujie spoke up.
Qiu Ji finally had some backbone.
He didn't say anything else, just looking at the water mouth, motionless.
"Old man, I'll go in first to check the situation. When the coffin comes by, I'll hitch a ride," Old Gong said, which meant he was getting involved in this matter.
I was about to nod, but Qiu Ji shook his head and said, "The Yin Dragon forms a pattern of its own, a natural and permanent formula. The coffin can move here, nourish the corpse, and this is related to the method of making the coffin itself. The mountain above is also a formula, and if Master Gong enters, he will also be constrained and may even be trapped or sealed within it."
"Apparently, the old boy can go through the back door, and we can only go through the front door?" Old Gong suddenly appeared dissatisfied.
At this moment, an inexplicable coldness surged through the entire cave.
The water mouth is no longer black, but a white, forming a strong contrast. That white is a jade-like quality, and there are many inscriptions on top. It is cold and constrained by something.
Everyone fell silent abruptly!
In just a few breaths, the jade coffin disappeared...
"This cold air not only freezes people, ghosts are cold enough as well." Even Old Gong couldn't help but shiver.
"Liu family is lacking something." He glanced at Liu Yujie.
"The Pure Yang Temple indeed does not have that breathing method. We won't merely hang on by our fingertips, but we will hold our swords and say, 'Let's fight.'" Liu Yujie's determination prevents him from being affected by Old Gong's sarcastic remarks.
"Please, Second Elder, seal this water mouth first. I will call for people to come and seal this cave as well, then we will take the villagers back and bury them properly." Qiu Ji finally managed to calm down.
Liu Yujie moved.
He had one less sword on his back. His shadow flickered over several raised stone surfaces on the ground, and he managed to cut them flat. The stone slab that was cut off was then kicked by him onto the water mouth, sealing it shut.
Moreover, he stepped forward and directly inserted his sword into the rock wall on the slant above the water mouth! With his hand moving quickly, he broke down a considerable amount of stone, quickly sealing those slabs.
I have drilled through a smuggling tunnel. I drilled through the mud hole beyond the deep pool for half a month, which was very laborious. Every day, my wrists were sore and aching. How could Liu Yujie break stones so easily?
"Look at this, is this what a person does? Do you understand? It's about combining hardness and gentleness! Who told you to be so stubborn?" Old Gong spat out his words with foam flying.
"The Liu family lacks the combination of hardness and gentleness. The two words 'Pure Yang' are not empty words." Liu Ziyu looked at Liu Yujie with admiration and respect, but his words were directed at Old Gong.
"The old man doesn't have any interest in women, so don't come here, miss Silk Mountain. You're like an iceberg, and they suppress you." Old Gong was truly talking nonsense, directing his remarks at Silk Mountain again.
