【Dreaming of Immortals】(Chapter Six) (Adapted from The Legend of Sword and Fairy 4)

At the city gate, Ling Sha and Meng Li had been waiting for quite some time.
Seeing Tian He, Ling Sha complained, "Ugh~ Why are you so slow? You're only arriving now!"
Tian He chuckled sheepishly. Beside Ling Sha, Meng Li asked,
"Young Master Yun, did you sleep well last night?"
"Good, good... I was fine!" Tian He felt an inexplicable nervousness upon seeing Meng Li.
Meng Li smiled at Tian He, took out a jade-green longbow from behind her back, and handed it to him: "Young Master Yun
, look, this is what I said I'd give you yesterday. Try it out and see if it fits."
"This is... a bow?!" Tian He examined it carefully.
"I noticed that Young Master Yun's bow had been used for a long time and seemed a bit worn, so I had a new one made. Do you like
it?" Meng Li asked with a smile.
"I love it! Haha, this bow is great, absolutely wonderful! The wood is excellent, the grain is even,
the arrows it shoots will definitely be powerful and the trajectory will be perfect. Plus, there are small stones on the outside of the wood, it should be very stable to hold!"
"What small stones... it's clearly jade..." Ling Sha muttered from the side.
Meng Li, hearing Tian He's words, happily said, "That's great, I'm glad Young Master Yun likes it. Actually, I
don't really know much about the quality of bows."
"I love it, of course I love it!" Tian He held the bow, admiring it.
Ling Sha rolled her eyes at Tian He, then turned to Meng Li and said, "Mengli, you have good taste~ The person who made this bow
didn't cut corners at all, the jade pieces are all made of the finest jade, such a 'Jade Waist Bow' must
be quite valuable." Mengli
smiled modestly: "Not at all, I don't know anything. Thanks to Boss Liu of Tiezeju, his craftsmanship
is superb and he is very kind. He really helped a lot. We can go to his place to pick out some self-defense weapons before we leave the city.
"
"Li'er, Li'er~ come and see, Daddy has prepared everything for you!!" Liu Shifeng called out and came to
the side of the three. The three looked in the direction of the voice and saw Ruan Ci carrying a package, Pei Jian leading the carriage, and Liu Shifeng following closely behind.
Seeing this, Mengli was startled: "Father? This is...?"
Liu Shifeng laughed: "Haha! This is a fine carriage that I specially chose for you! A blanket has been laid out in the carriage, and
some refreshments have been prepared~ Aren't you going to Chenzhou? Li'er, you can sleep comfortably in here, and you'll arrive when you wake up
."
Mengli shook her head, and Ling Sha, standing to the side, said sarcastically:
"I say... Magistrate, this carriage looks nice, but if we travel on the official road in it, who knows when we
'll arrive in Chenzhou."
"What? You don't want the carriage?!" Liu Shifeng immediately said, "Pei Jian! Go and fetch three horses quickly,
we don't need this carriage for now!"
Pei Jian responded and was about to go to get it when Mengli stopped him:
"Father, I don't think we need to. Although I've never traveled far before, Miss Han is quite experienced. Let's just listen to her
arrangements. At most, we can bring some extra money with us so we won't be short of cash." Mengli glanced at Tianhe. "As for
snacks, we can take them with us on the road."
Tianhe was delighted to hear about snacks and said, "Great! Great! Snacks are good things!"
Liu Shifeng hesitated for a moment and sighed, "Well... alright, Father will do as you
say. As long as Li'er is happy." Ruan Ci teased from the side, "Sigh, I advised Master not to act on impulse again. See? You really can't argue
with Li'er."
"Mother, it's alright. I know Father is doing this for my own good. It's just that you've worried too much over the years.
I can't rely on you for everything anymore."
"Li'er, you can rely on Father all you want!" Liu Shifeng said sadly.
Ruan Ci hurriedly stopped him, "Master, let's say less. If we keep talking like this, we'll waste their
time."
Meng Li also nodded and said, "Father, Mother, you don't need to worry. It's not like I'm never coming back. Look, this
is a sachet made of fragrant herbs. I'll keep it with me. Legend says that the farther I go from home, the stronger the fragrance will become, and
one day I will return to your side."
At this moment, Liu Shifeng completely lost control and burst into tears.
Mengli comforted him for a few moments, then continued, "Father, there's one more thing to remember. The incense I left is enough for this year's
tribute. Besides, Luzhu and Lurong's skills are improving, so there's no need to worry about incense making. However, you must not
pick the fragrant grass for at least six months. Over-picking is always harmful."
"Don't worry, Li'er,"
Ruan Ci said hurriedly, seeing Liu Shifeng's endless nagging. "Father has already had a notice posted, and Pei Jian will handle this matter." "Li'er, and Tianhe, and Miss Han, you all
need to be careful in everything you do and take care of yourselves."
Tianhe replied, "Hehe, Liu Bobo, Liu Bomu, I'll come
find you to play after I learn to fly on my sword!"
At this moment, Pei Jian stepped forward and said, "Young Master Yun, if I may be so bold, my young lady has never traveled
far from home. Please take good care of her."
Tianhe replied generously, "Ha, ha ha ha, leave it to me! I will definitely, definitely not let anyone bully
her!"
"Don't worry, Magistrate. Even if other things don't work out, I know plenty of the rules of the martial world
. Mengli will be fine with me," Ling Sha said, thinking to herself, "This can't go on forever." She quickly added, "We're leaving."
Mengli nodded and said to Liu Shifeng and the others, "Father, Mother, Brother Pei, take care." After saying that, she
went to the town with Tianhe and Ling Sha.
"Think about it, do you want to buy something?" Mengli asked.
Ling Sha quickly said, "How about this, Mengli, Tianhe and I will go buy some weapons and armor, and you go buy some
medicine for healing."
Mengli nodded, "That's a good idea."
So, Tianhe and Ling Sha went to Tiezeju, bought materials, and asked the owner of Tiezeju to forge several
excellent weapons.
Tianhe held the incredibly sharp Fengling Blade and couldn't help but smile. Before, he used a wooden sword for hunting, but
now he had finally upgraded to a powerful weapon, so he was naturally very excited. Ling Sha forged a pair of daggers called the Black Gold Sword, which
was incredibly sharp and far superior to her original equipment. They also forged a fragrant maple wood zither for Meng Li
, another excellent piece of equipment.
After they reunited, Tianhe noticed that Mengli not only carried many medicines but also some strange spices
. "Mengli, what are those spices for?" Tianhe asked curiously.
"Spices have many uses! They can confuse the enemy, help teammates recover from injuries, and even
enhance my sonic attacks!" Mengli seemed excited, listing them off as if they were old friends.
"Alright, alright, let's go out of the city, or it'll get dark soon," Lingsha said with a smile.
The three of them left the city gates and arrived at Mount Bagong. Mengli curiously asked Lingsha beside her,
"You said earlier that you wouldn't take the official road. Is there another way to get to Chenzhou?"
Lingsha replied mysteriously, "Of course! Lady Han has a brilliant plan!"
Lingsha had intended to pique their interest, but after she finished speaking, there was a moment of silence. Lingsha thought: One just
keeps laughing, and the other is completely dumbfounded. Don't you two have any curiosity?!
Seeing Ling Sha's unpleasant expression, Tianhe asked, "Ling Sha, are you having diarrhea? You look so pale
."
Ling Sha angrily replied, "N-nothing! I was just about to say something! Cough, cough, actually, I've already thought it through. This time, we'll take the route through the Huainan King's Mausoleum. If all goes well, we'll reach 　　Wanqiu Mountain
near Chenzhou in no time . It's much easier than taking the official road." 　　 Mengli was taken aback: "Huainan King's Mausoleum?! But... entering there rashly might break the law, which might not be 　　good, especially since your wanted poster was only recently taken down..." 　　 Ling Sha waved her hand: "Don't worry~ There's always a way around things. We're not going there to plunder treasures." " 　　It's just a passageway on someone else's land. A prince shouldn't be so stingy, right?" 　　 Mengli thought for a moment and said, "Well, since you have a plan, let's do as you say." 　　 Tianhe, who was standing to the side, didn't understand: "Going through that mausoleum, we'll encounter a sword immortal?" 　　 Lingsha rolled her eyes: "Of course not! Sword control can cover tens of thousands of miles in an instant. How can we catch up like that? Now 　　we can only try our luck and hope that Huai Shuo and the others stay in Chenzhou for a few more days." Then she encouraged them: "Don't worry 　　! Even if we miss them, the world is so big, I don't believe there's no other way to find clues about that sect!" 　　 Mengli nodded: "Well, there's always a way out. I'll help look too." 　　 "Together? Okay, okay, let's look together, hehe~" Tianhe grinned foolishly. 　　 Ling Sha glared at him angrily, then grabbed Meng Li's hand: "Mengli, let's go! Don't pay any attention to that 　　grinning guy!" 　　 Watching Ling Sha pull Meng Li away, Tian He chased after them, shouting, "Ah! You guys, wait for me 　　!" 　　 The three chased each other, and soon they saw a huge tombstone. 　　 "Who goes there?! This place is off-limits!" A soldier suddenly blocked their way. 　　 Before he finished speaking, another soldier shouted, "That's right! Get out of here!" 　　 "How dare you! Do you know who this girl behind me is?!" Ling Sha stepped forward defiantly. 　　 One soldier leered at Mengli and sneered, "This... she's not bad looking!" 　　 Another said, "Even if she's pretty, she's still just a woman. Is she some kind of celestial being?" 　　 Ling Sha snorted, "Hmph, this young lady is the daughter of the magistrate of Shouyang County. She's here on her father's behalf to inspect this area. You 　　two are blind and don't know your place! Get out of the way!" 　　 The soldier said disdainfully, "I knew it! If she were a celestial being, would she come to this godforsaken place?" 　　 Another said, "Get out of the way! No matter how pretty she is, you can't pass here! Or... do you want 　　to stay and play with me?" 　　 Ling Sha's eyes widened in anger, "Shut your stinking mouth! How dare you offend even the magistrate's daughter!" 　　 The soldier snorted, "The magistrate's daughter?! So what! Her father was incompetent..." " There have been tomb raiders here lately 　　! Now this former royal tomb is under the direct jurisdiction of the capital, it's none of the county magistrate's business anymore!" 　　 Another chimed in, "I heard that the thief is a woman, I wonder what she looks like. Bah! If it weren't 　　for that woman, why would we brothers be here guarding this godforsaken place? Not only is there no profit to be made, but recently even monsters have started appearing 　　. It's a real chore!" 　　 Upon hearing this, Tianhe drew his sword and roared, "You! Don't swear!!" 　　 The soldiers were startled, but they retorted, "What?! You little brat, are you looking for death?" 　　 Seeing the situation was bad, Lingsha pulled Tianhe aside, "Tianhe, ignore them, come with me!" 　　 Behind them, the two men said, "You're smart! If you say another word, we'll all arrest you and lock you up!" 　　"!" 　　 Ling Sha ignored him, pulling Tianhe and Mengli along until they were far away before angrily saying, 　　 "I'm so angry! Those two are spouting nonsense!!" 　　 Mengli comforted her, "They're just talking rubbish, why bother arguing with them?" 　　 "The worst part is, we've lost the initiative, and we can't just knock them out!" Ling Sha lamented. 　　 "Why not? Those two don't look very strong." Tianhe asked, puzzled. 　　 "Idiot! They already know Mengli's background. What if they cause trouble for the Liu family later? That would be too much... Never mind 　　, I thought revealing Mengli's identity would make things easy..." 　　 Tianhe scratched his head, clearly still not understanding. 　　 Mengli thought for a moment and said, "I have an idea, let's try it." 　　 "Eh?! Good Mengli! Why didn't you say so sooner?" Ling Sha exclaimed excitedly. 　　 Mengli smiled and led the two back to the tombstone. 　　 Upon seeing them, the soldiers cursed, "You're still here?! Are you tired of living?!" 　　 Before the cursing could stop, Mengli flicked her sleeve, and a puff of pink smoke shot out. The two men, 　　before they could even run, were already knocked unconscious by the smoke. 　　 Tianhe, seeing this, exclaimed in surprise, "They're unconscious just like that? So people don't necessarily faint from being hit? 　　I've learned something new." 　　 Mengli laughed, "They're under a spell. They won't wake up for a while, and when they do, they won't remember 　　what happened, including us." 　　 Lingsha couldn't believe it: "Really? Such a spell?! That's amazing!!" She glanced at 　　Tianhe, "Hehe! Indeed, strategy is better than brute force—unlike someone who only knows how to use brute force."

"It's not as powerful as you say. This spell only works on ordinary people.
It's useless against those with even a little cultivation or strong mental power," Mengli said with a hint of pity. "Besides..."
"What?"
"Memories are the most important thing in a person's heart. To take them away so easily is too cruel,"
Lingsha said. "Mengli, you have a kind heart. But these two guys are obviously used to bullying others
; they're not good people at all."
"Yes, yes, yes! So what you did wasn't a bad thing!" Tianhe echoed.
"Yes, Tianhe is right!" Lingsha finally praised him. Mengli
smiled gratefully: "Yes, thank you. I feel much better now. Let's
go before the guards wake up."
"Wait—" Lingsha stopped her. "In my opinion, these two guys said a lot of bad things about Mengli and me
. They even humiliated the magistrate. It would be a shame not to teach them a lesson!"
"Then, how should we do it?" Tianhe asked curiously.
Ling Sha grinned mischievously and went to the person lying on the ground, drawing a turtle on his face.
"This is fun~ I want one too!" Tianhe ran to another person and drew a wild boar on their face
.
"Haha, come on, come on! Everyone gets one!" Ling Sha shouted as she drew, "Mengli, do you want one?" Mengli
covered her mouth and chuckled, "No, thank you."
Ling Sha glanced at the wild boar Tianhe drew and laughed, "Tianhe, yours is more interesting~ better than mine."
Tianhe laughed, "Really? I know it best~ It looks a lot like it, doesn't it? Haha!"
The two drew for a while, laughing and joking with each other, and then went straight to the back of the tombstone of the King of Huainan.
Mengli looked around and asked Lingsha,
"There doesn't seem to be a door here. How do we get in?"
Lingsha smiled and said, "That's easy! Follow me~" She then walked to a patch of grass and said with a smile
, "Now it's up to Tianhe! Push this rock aside, and we'll have a way in~"
Mengli hesitated, "...Such a big rock...I think we should all go together—"
Lingsha grinned, "What's wrong with that? Boys are strong! I can even move this rock
, though it'll take a bit more effort. Tianhe's strength is definitely no problem! We can just cheer him on from the sidelines
~"
Then she glanced at Tianhe and said, "Right? Tianhe~~"
Tianhe immediately perked up, "Hehe, yeah, I've got it covered!"
After pushing it aside, Tianhe suddenly exclaimed in surprise:
"There's a hole!"
Ling Sha said, "A hole is a hole, and I dug it out myself, shovel by shovel!"
Tianhe suddenly realized, "Oh... so when there's no way out, you just make one yourself! Ling Sha, you're amazing! I
never thought of this method before!"
Ling Sha said proudly, "Hmph, of course. Don't underestimate digging a hole; there are many things to consider! You
have to be careful in choosing the location, and you have to dig evenly. If you dig poorly, you might collapse the surrounding area, which would be terrible."
Tianhe muttered to himself, "I wonder who's better at digging holes, Ling Sha or a rat?"
Ling Sha turned around and saw him, and quickly said, "Huh?? What are you muttering about? Come on, come on! I'll go first, Meng
Li will follow me, and Tianhe will be at the back." After saying that, she somersaulted inside, with Meng Li and Tianhe following closely behind
.
The hole wasn't long; in less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the three of them arrived at the tomb chamber of the Huainan King's Mausoleum.
The three emerged from the tunnel into a vast, open underground palace. Looking around, they saw a palace
over ten meters high and several dozen feet wide. To the north stood a screen wall about five meters high. To the left and right of the screen wall were two enormous
bronze lions, their eyes spitting pale blue flames. Further inside were numerous bronze figures of men and horses
, culminating in a gate at the far end.
All three were stunned by the sheer scale of the palace. Mengli exclaimed, "I'd only ever read about royal tombs in books before—'majestic
and imposing, with a myriad of magnificent sights'—and seeing it with my own eyes, it's absolutely true!" "
Ling Sha laughed, "This is the tomb of Liu An, the last King of Huainan of the Han Dynasty. It's just average. If it were
the tomb of an emperor, it would often require the national treasury to be emptied and hundreds of thousands of craftsmen to work for twenty or thirty years to complete. I wonder how magnificent it would be
!"
Meng Li shook her head and sighed, "Such a waste of manpower and resources, just for a dead man, isn't that too... too...
"
"Too outrageous! Right?" Ling Sha chimed in from the side, "Good Meng Li! I knew you thought the same
thing as me, so we can just pass by this old man's tomb without any guilt."
Tian He frowned from the side, "This place... isn't good... there seems to be a murderous aura around."
Ling Sha mocked, "Ah? Murderous aura again? Don't scare me. The feng shui of Bagong Mountain is quite good. What's most remarkable
is that you can tell from the stone forest that the mountains here have changed from stone to wood and from wood to stone countless times over thousands of years
. It's a sign of 'shedding and transformation,' like a mortal being reborn. It's an extraordinary auspicious sign!" "How could such a good
place have anything unclean?"
"Huh?" Tianhe didn't pay attention to Lingsha's words again, but walked straight to a bronze lion and observed
it curiously:
"What is this? A tiger? Its eyes can even shoot fire!"
Lingsha said angrily, "Why don't you listen to me again!!"
Mengli explained from the side, "I've seen this thing in a book, it seems to be called a 'warding-off-evil beast'."
"That's right, that's right, Mengli is knowledgeable! Unlike that savage... hmph." Lingsha glared at Tianhe from the side
, "The warding-off-evil beast is to suppress the evil spirits in the tomb, there must be one in the royal tomb. As for this pair, in addition to
suppressing evil, their bellies are also filled with oil, and they are used as 'everlasting lamps'."
Upon hearing this, Mengli asked in surprise, "This lamp... can it really burn for a hundred years without going out?" Lingsha
laughed, "Hehe~ More than a hundred years
. Legend has it that the lamp oil for the ever-burning lamp is made with a secret method, and once lit, it can burn for tens of millions of years. The old man, the King of Huainan, is a regional governor, so it's not surprising that he can afford such a treasure
!"
Mengli exclaimed in amazement, "The things in this world are truly amazing and wonderful, which broadens one's horizons greatly."
Ling Sha looked around again and sighed, "Actually, others have been here before. They even
dug a large hole in the tomb passage leading to Wanqiu Mountain. I guess they've taken almost all the valuables from the Underworld Palace." She then
pointed ahead and continued, "This place we're in now is called the 'Front Hall,' so if we just follow the tomb
passage south, we can easily reach Chenzhou."
Tianhe looked and asked strangely, "South? That's not south, is it?"
Ling Sha blushed slightly and said awkwardly, "Not south? Then it's east? It's east, right? Haha, I misspoke
, you..." "Stop being so petty!"
Tianhe shook his head: "That's not east either."
Mengli tried to smooth things over: "It's dark in the tomb, and it's probably not easy to tell directions."
But Tianhe said: "Directions? They're quite easy to tell—north is in front, south is behind, west is to the left, and east
is to the right, so we're going north?"
Lingsha was already furious: "Yun~Tian~He!! Don't be so unreasonable! Even if
I'm a little bit bad at directions, a little bit directionally challenged, I can tell
where the exit is just by smelling it! Anyway, we're going that way!!"
"N-no, I just wanted to ask clearly." Yun Tianhe said aggrievedly.
Ling Sha was still angry: "Hmph, why ask so many questions? Less talk, more walking!"
Meng Li quickly smoothed things over, saying, "I think we should just follow the direction Ling Sha pointed out. I trust Ling Sha
; she won't be wrong."
"Meng Li, you're the best! Unlike that savage... hmph."
After walking a few steps, Tian He cautiously looked around: "Ahead... there really is murderous intent!"
Seeing that Tian He didn't seem to be joking, Meng Li also said nervously, "Could it be a wild beast that has accidentally wandered into the tomb
?"
Ling Sha also looked curiously: "There's not a sound at all..."
As soon as she finished speaking, a woman in red slowly "floated" over from behind the screen wall ahead.
"Huh? It's a girl?" Ling Sha asked curiously.
"Wearing so little?" Tian He couldn't help but wonder.
"Be careful! She has a lot of malevolent energy!" Meng Li shouted. The woman in red let out a strange cry and suddenly pounced
on Tian He. Tian He only felt a chill on his face, and in an instant, the woman was right in front of him.
Suddenly 　　 , 　　 a 　　flash 　　, 　　 and 　　Tianhe 　　fainted 　　.
**********
... A delicate makeup, a pretty face, and an incredibly alluring 　　figure, all shrouded in a light veil, made her even more seductive. Tianhe scratched his head, feeling a 　　little uneasy… (Why does this feel a bit like a beautiful woman flirting with me…) 　　 But the person opposite him was clearly not a beautiful woman, but a female ghost who had been craving desire for a thousand years. In an instant, she 　　pounced on Tianhe, her lower garments vanishing in a wisp of black mist… She suddenly sat down, 　　swallowing Tianhe completely into her body. 　　 Tianhe's first sensation was a chilling, bone-piercing feeling… as if there were blocks of ice inside her 　　. Then came an unparalleled smoothness and wetness. The perfect touch moved Tianhe deeply, and then, with force, 　　he thrust upwards into the woman's honeyed passage, quickly penetrating to its deepest point. Her tender red labia were turned inside out. Under 　　the relentless pounding of the penis, the woman's vaginal walls writhed rapidly, suddenly tightening and sucking the penis pressed against her clitoris 　　. A stream of cool nectar poured from her womb, drenching the glans. 　　 Tianhe, unable to withstand the woman's tight vaginal grip, was about to ejaculate his pent-up semen. But at that moment 　　, a burst of intense colored light flashed, and the person on top of him transformed into another. 　　 Simultaneously, Ling Sha, who was struggling to wake Tianhe, suddenly fainted. 　　 "Silly Tianhe, you actually had sex with a female ghost! Aren't you afraid of being drained dry by her…?" 　　The beautiful woman sitting on Tianhe, diligently manipulating him, tapped his head as she spoke. 　　 Tianhe was utterly helpless… "Sister… it wasn't that I wanted to do that with her, she just rushed over and 　　knocked me down… what could I do?" 　　 "Luckily I reacted in time, otherwise I really would have been drained dry." The beautiful woman laughed, using her warm vaginal walls 　　to manipulate Tianhe's large penis. "Since she didn't drain you dry, then I'll drain 　　 you 　　 dry 　　, 　　little one 　　 , 　　 hehe 　　... " 　　 ********** 　　... (Actually, he had nothing to say, after all, the matter of the beautiful sister 　　was also his privacy.) 　　 Mengli nodded slightly and said, "Since everyone is alright, let's hurry on our way, otherwise 　　it will be troublesome if we encounter some wandering ghosts again." 　　 Mengli had observed carefully earlier, and now, thinking about it again, she said, "That woman is probably not a living person, but rather seems 　　to be a spirit formed from malevolent energy, extremely ferocious."

Ling Sha nodded in agreement: "This is bad! Something terrible must have happened in the Huainan King's Mausoleum, otherwise
the feng shui wouldn't have changed, and even vengeful ghosts would have appeared!"
Meng Li sighed: "This... how could this be..."
Tian He, hearing their conversation, hurriedly asked: "So that's what 'ghosts' are... After Father died... will he also
become like that?"
Mengli shook her head and said, "That one just now must have been a maidservant who was buried with us back then. She's full of vengeful ghosts. I believe Uncle Yun
would never become like that." Lingsha
sighed beside her, "Alas, man proposes, God disposes. It seems we can't go to the Huainan King's Mausoleum."
Mengli thought for a moment and said, "This mausoleum is so close to Shouyang. What if those vengeful ghosts harm
the people in the city? I want to investigate this matter and see if we can stop the scourge..."
Tianhe nodded and said, "Mengli, you, you're right! I'll help you!" Lingsha also laughed beside her, "Ah~ Since that's the case, of course I have no choice but to risk my life to accompany the beauty. Hehe, 　　aren't you all afraid?
"
"What else do I have to worry about? But this is the first time I've encountered a tomb with such a sudden change in feng shui.
Everyone, please be careful. We haven't become sword immortals yet. If something goes wrong, it would be too much of a loss!"
Mengli said gratefully, "Yes, thank you."
Tianhe patted his chest, "No, it's nothing. I'm not afraid of ghosts. I also need to protect Liu Bobo and Liu Bobo
's mother."
Lingsha teased, "Nonsense... If it were your father, would you be afraid?"
Tianhe shook his head and went straight to the gate behind the screen wall. With a forceful pull, the gate creaked open
, creating a gap more than a person's width. Tianhe turned around and called out, "Come on!" Then, he went in first.
Lingsha exclaimed, "What a savage!" After saying that, she followed Mengli in.
Once inside the passage, there were no ever-burning lamps, and it was completely dark inside, with only a few faint blue lights
floating in the distance.
"There's light, Lingsha!" Tianhe pointed to the light ahead and shouted.
Ling Sha scoffed, "Idiot, those are will-o'-the-wisps." She continued, "Let's not disturb them. Let's head straight north. Once we
reach the main room, we'll take another look."
Meng Li and Tian He nodded, and the three of them cautiously crept forward along the wall. If a will-o'-the-
wisp drifted by, they held their breath. Beneath the blue will-o'-the-wisps were pale-faced male and female ghosts.
"Ah... there are vengeful spirits here!" Ling Sha cried out. A vengeful spirit blocked their path.
"Damn it, watch this..." Tian He roared, drawing his incredibly sharp spirit blade and
cleaving the vengeful spirit in two with a single, powerful strike. But the sound attracted countless vengeful spirits, surging towards them.
"Oh no, this is a huge problem." Ling Sha smiled bitterly, assuming a fighting stance. The vengeful spirits surged forward
faster and faster, and Ling Sha's face grew paler and paler.
"Ling Sha, don't worry, watch this move." Seeing the situation was dire, Tianhe took out his jade bow, aimed it at
the countless vengeful spirits, and, wielding the beautiful "This is a Sword," focused his mind and gathered his energy.
Suddenly, he shot it upwards, his eyes flashing with a sharp light. The "This is a Sword" flew into the sky, then suddenly transformed
into countless points of light, falling...
Ling Sha stared in disbelief as the countless points of light turned into tiny stars, rapidly falling from the sky, then exploding into
clusters of flying energy, utterly obliterating the vengeful spirits.
"Tianhe... you sometimes give people a little surprise... When did you learn this move? It's amazing
!" Ling Sha said to Tianhe, her eyes sparkling.
"No, my dad taught me, but it's too powerful, it often breaks the bow, so I don't dare use it often
," Tianhe said, scratching his head.
Mengli glanced at Tianhe, whose face was already pale but who was forcing a determined expression, shook her head, and with a flick of her sleeve
, a fragrant aroma enveloped Tianhe, instantly making him feel much better.
After walking for a long time, they arrived at a strange place. Looking at the plaque, they discovered it was the rear hall.
Upon entering, they were greeted by several ever-burning lamps and a massive staircase. The three of them laboriously climbed the stairs,
only to find a door and two small, exquisite toad statues on the platform.
"We've been in the tomb for so long, and aside from ghosts and monsters, we haven't found a single other clue..." Mengli
sighed involuntarily.
But Ling Sha smiled and said, "Mengli, don't be impatient. Take a close look at this back hall. It's likely hiding a big
secret!" Tianhe asked curiously, "Really? It looks almost the same as the other rooms..." Mengli, however,
understood before Tianhe: "Ling Sha, you mean... there are no ghosts here?" Ling Sha nodded and said, "Hehe, good Mengli
, you're so smart~"
"I didn't look closely when I came into the Huainan King's Mausoleum a few times before. Now that all the fierce ghosts have come out, I feel this place is very strange
. Logically speaking, 'ghosts' are yin and cold and fear yang. I dug a big hole at the entrance of the mausoleum, and the vital energy leaked in,
so of course the ghosts wouldn't dare to come near. I don't know why there are no ghosts in this back hall..."
Tianhe exclaimed, "Look! There are toads, and two more~"
"...Toads are toads, they're disgusting, why are you making such a fuss..." Ling Sha said helplessly.
Liu Mengli: "I remember in the book, toads are called 'toads,' but they're still considered auspicious."
Ling Sha: "That's true! Legend has it that Chang'e flew to the moon and ascended to become an immortal. There was a very, very big toad in the moon
, so this ugly thing became quite likable." Meng
Li: "It is said that the King of Huainan was obsessed with seeking immortality and cultivating immortality during his lifetime. In the end
, he and eight old men consumed elixirs of immortality and ascended to heaven. 'Mount Bagong' got its name from this. I wonder if it's true or not..."
Ling Sha: "Who knows? Anyway, I went into his underworld palace. There were no bones in the old man's coffin.
Maybe he really did become an immortal..."
Ling Sha: "Look at these two toads, they're made of different jade. The one on the left is red jade, and the one on the right is yellow jade. I
guess they correspond to 'The Supreme True Lord of the Crimson Qi in the Sun' and 'The Supreme Divine Mother of the Yellow Qi in the Moon,' respectively
. Haha, the sun and the moon are both here! Isn't that exactly what the immortal tales often refer to as the harmony of Yin and Yang, the unity of heaven and man?"
Tianhe: "I don't quite understand... but so toads are such powerful things..."
Then, Tianhe and Lingsha each touched a toad, and immediately after a roar, the back of the hall opened...
A door.
Ling Sha exclaimed, "Huh?! What's going on?! I never expected this... No wonder, no wonder I couldn't find
the secret chamber of the underground palace before..."
Meng Li: "Could these two jade stones be spiritual objects?"
Ling Sha: "Hmm... I was mistaken just now. Those aren't yellow or red jade at all; they're the legendary
treasure called 'Yin Yang Purple Gate.' This is the first time I've ever seen one in person!"
Meng Li: "Yin Yang Purple Gate? What a unique name..."
Tian He: "I know about this stuff—it's edible! I just wonder what it tastes like~"
Han Ling Sha: You? "...Who would believe you, a savage, know anything...
" Tianhe: "Really! My father told me. He said there's a wonderful thing called 'Yin-Yang Purple Jade,'
and that eating it will make you very strong!"
Lingsha: "...Hmph, you're half right."
Lingsha: "As the name suggests, the Yin-Yang Purple Jade is divided into two parts, Yin and Yang, which grow together. It takes
a thousand years underground to take the shape of jade. Once it's dug up and made into jade artifacts, it's already a priceless treasure
!"
Mengli: "Since it's 'jade'... how can it be ingested?" Ling
Sha chuckled, "Well, that's its most magical aspect! If the Yin-Yang Purple Jade becomes jade
and isn't unearthed, after another thousand years, the jade marrow will become sentient and can be used to fill one's stomach. As for its effects
, I don't know."
Ling Sha continued, "I've only heard that once it gains sentience, it will run wild, and the Yang and Yin portions will separate. If a mortal only gets
one and eats it, it's actually not good!"
Meng Li exclaimed, "Isn't that similar to a ginseng that has become sentient? That's really interesting!"
Ling Sha replied, "There's much more to it than that! If this Yin-Yang Purple Jade senses extremely strong Yang energy and Yin..." "Qi will
stimulate spiritual power, but touching only one side, or switching yin and yang, will have no effect."
Ling Sha: "It seems that the King of Huainan hired a strange person to make them into a mechanism. It just so happens that male is yang and female is yin.
Tianhe and I happened to come across it and broke the mechanism. Let's go, let's quickly enter the secret passage and see
what's inside the door since the old man of Huainan used such a precious treasure as a lock."
Meng Li: "Hmm, I wonder if it has anything to do with the evil spirits in the tomb..."
Ling Sha: "Tianhe, let's go—"
But then she saw Tianhe draw his sword and forcefully chop at the Yin-Yang Purple
Gate. Ling Sha: "You! What are you doing?!"
Tianhe: "Ling Sha, didn't you say this thing would turn into food if buried underground for another thousand years? Such a strange
thing, I'm taking it with me and burying it somewhere~"
Mengli was stunned: "..."
Ling Sha retorted angrily: "Do you think you can live for a thousand years before eating it?"
Ling Sha: "...Let's go! That thing is so big, we still have a long way to go, carrying it would just be a burden...
"
Tianhe sighed: "That's true, well... what a pity..."
Ling Sha shook her head and said to the two of them: "Let's go, let's hurry into the secret passage and see
what's inside the door that the old man from Huainan used such a precious treasure as a lock."
"Hmm, I wonder if it has anything to do with the vengeful ghosts in the tomb..." Mengli muttered, and followed Tianhe and the other
into the secret passage.
This time the secret passage was not long, and there were no ghosts or monsters around. Soon, the group arrived at another gate.
This time, Tianhe easily pushed the door open, and a thick, putrid stench immediately hit them. The three of them
hurriedly covered their mouths and noses and went inside.
A huge alchemy furnace stood in the center, surrounded by many moldy pills; it seemed the stench
was emanating from these pills.
Curious, the three approached the furnace. Mengli looked around, and suddenly, a bamboo scroll caught her eye
.
Mengli picked up the book, opened it, and read: "At midnight, the king dreamt above the blue clouds that the Supreme God appeared amidst the bright moon, auspicious clouds
in thousands of layers, light spreading throughout the three realms, his eyes lowered to show you... At cockcrow, the sun rose, purple qi rose from the furnace, a
dragon soared, a halo appeared on the top, gathering in a crimson jade pot, the qi condensed like a divine pill, only then did he know that the 'Supreme Immortal Elixir' was complete. The king and the Eight Dukes bowed and worshipped, happily consuming it, and
finally transformed themselves, ascending to heaven in broad daylight!"
Lingsha, upon hearing this, excitedly exclaimed, "Wow! So the King of Huainan really became an immortal! That elixir is so miraculous
... The book says 'gathered in a crimson jade pot,' what is this pot? There's no such
funerary object in the King of Huainan's underworld palace as a burial item, was it stolen?"
"There's a murderous aura! Very strong!!" Tianhe's words interrupted Lingsha.
"Where?!" Lingsha, having experienced Tianhe's abilities, dared not be negligent.
Tianhe looked around, puzzled. "That... the killing intent seems to be strong one moment and weak the next.
"
Lingsha, annoyed, slapped Tianhe again. "Killing what?! You've been muttering to yourself ever since we entered the Huainan King's Mausoleum. Instead of wasting time like this,
why don't you help us find the treasure!"
Just as Lingsha finished speaking, they heard a few scattered sounds of porcelain clattering and scraping. Everyone was startled.
How could such a sound come from a place like this?
"Lingsha, did you hear that? I'm not mistaken, am I?" Tianhe said.
Lingsha also tensed up. "Oh no! Could we have encountered a vengeful ghost?"
Mengli followed the sound and suddenly pointed to a small purple porcelain pot not far away, exclaiming, "That's
the sound coming from that pot! Everyone be careful!"
Just as Mengli finished speaking, a plume of black smoke shot out from the pot, and vaguely, a figure seemed to be visible within the smoke
