Immortality: Start Cultivating Immortality From Pingshan Mountain Chapter 136

Chapter 136 The Black-scaled Shark Man's Thousand-Year-Old Cultivated Tree

 “Black-scaled shark?!”

Partridge Whistle once went to the coast of the East China Sea to look for the ruins of Dongmeng.

Because the Red Eyebrow Army was in trouble and the jade beads hidden in Maoling disappeared, he searched through ancient books and history books and found that after the Red Eyebrow Army left Chang'an, it split into two groups.

One branch went south to Luoning, and the other branch went as far as the East China Sea.

  It is also the legendary Ruins of Dongmeng.

 Attempt to travel to overseas fairy mountains.

 He searched for several years along the coast of the East China Sea.

Although no trace of the Muchen Bead was found, he saw countless strange and bizarre things in the deep sea that ordinary people could not imagine.

Deep -sea, crying beads, whalers, whalers of ancient boats, octopus ink fish, and fishing people with eight -claws, and fishing people who salvage the ship of the ship.

 As well as the overseas fairy mountains passed down from ancient times.

 Penglai, Fangzhang, Yingzhou Island.

After several years of walking, Partridge Whistle's horizons have been greatly broadened.

It was precisely because of that experience that when he saw the strange face covered with scales and sharp teeth reflected in the firelight, he was able to tell the truth.

"good."

 Be able to recognize him.

 Chen Yulou was not surprised.

 Just nodded in a low tone.

As the two of them were talking, they seemed to be drawn by the light and fire in the wind lantern. Suddenly, a wisp of flame ignited out of thin air in the shark's open mouth.

 Color is bluish green.

 It is obviously fire.

But it gives people an indescribable deep chill.

 Lighted up with a flame.

In the darkness on both sides of the stone gate, one after another, like will-o'-the-wisps like bean sprouts, slowly ignited.

 There are six lamps in total.

 Looking through a wind lantern.

There is a row of copper pillars embedded in the stone wall. The black-scaled sharks, who are half human and half fish, are chained through the bones of the lute, half kneeling on the ground, their eyes blank.

With their mouths wide open, behind the fangs as sharp as saws, you can faintly see an asbestos-like wick planted in the abdomen and hidden behind the tongue.

 The gloomy will-o'-the-wisp is burning in their mouths.

 See this scene.

Even though Chen Yulou had expected it, he still couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

As early as the Qin and Han Dynasties, some people went deep into the seabed to hunt and kill sharks. After killing them and drying them in the shade, they used their oil to make lamps and candles. One drop of them can burn for ten and a half days.

 It is known as the ever-bright lamp.

 Each one is worth three thousand gold beads.

 Those who are not emperors and nobles cannot afford it.

 At the same time, because of this characteristic, almost all the overseas sharks were hunted down in less than a thousand years.

only…

Even if it is used to make ten thousand year candles or everlasting lamps, fat is mostly melted into lamp oil.

 But here, the body of the shark is used directly as the lamp.

Although as long as the body remains alive, the lights will always be on, but who would be like Xian Wang?

 Still bent on seeking immortality!

After exhaling, Chen Yulou put away his thoughts, pulled out the bone knife with his backhand, and lightly touched the shark corpse with the back of the knife. Suddenly, there was a sound of metal and stone colliding.

 Thousands of years have passed.

 The six shark corpses showed no signs of decay.

Had it not been for the fact that there were no mercury spots on the body, he would have suspected whether it had been dipped in mercury.

These sharks are both male and female. Their upper bodies have obvious human characteristics, but from the waist and abdomen downwards, they have long fins, and their entire body is covered with black scales.

 It's like being wrapped in a layer of fish scales.

 A strange light is refracted under the lamplight.

 Since the Qin and Han dynasties.

The sharks seem to have become extinct.

But if I remember correctly, there is still a group of sharks living in the deep sea of ​​Guixu, South China Sea.

 As a demon in the sea.

The black-scaled sharks are extremely ferocious. Even if it is a Basilosaurus, once it breaks into the coral cave, it will be surrounded and killed until its flesh and blood are eaten away, leaving only a skeleton.

 And their only weakness.

 It is the lunar eclipse fetus.

If you go to the Land of Guixu, you can try to capture a few of them. The Dan people also need a sea penetration formation, but they are natural underwater monsters.

“No, Brother Chen, the Ever-Bright Lamp is also called the Rebirth Candle. It is used to guide the dead souls back to the earth to live a new life. There are six lamps here... but there are only three coffins.”

 Chen Yulou was still looking at the sharks.

 I was thinking wildly in my mind, and suddenly there was a doubt in my ears.

The partridge whistle held the wind lantern and looked around, even behind the gate, but except for the three demon coffins, there were no other corpses here.

 This number obviously does not correspond.

Even including those who were buried together with the king, there were only five bodies.

 Still not right!

 “Six lamps?”

 Chen Yulou came back to his senses, pointed to the depths of the coffin, his eyes were cold and he smiled.

"What?"

 I could hear something wrong in his tone.

The Partridge Whistle seemed to have thought of something, and turned around suddenly. Only then did he realize that... three more will-o'-the-wisps had appeared from behind the array of three coffins in a chaotic pattern. I don't know when.

 Add the six in front of you.

 That is the Nine Paths.

  This means that at least nine corpses were buried in Xuan Palace.

How can this be?

Thinking of this, Partridge Whistle's mind instantly sank to the bottom of the valley. The six corpses were beyond his expectation. There was no reason to bury nine corpses in a mysterious palace.

You must know that there is no room for others to sleep soundly on the side of the bed.

 Let alone a tomb?

 Three demon coffins and the bones of three hells were buried, which is barely fair.

 But what about the other bodies?

 At this moment, even though he was well-informed and had extraordinary vision, he couldn't help but feel confused.

 The afterlife candle is made in ancient times and should not be wrong.

 So, there is only one possibility, Xian Wang's behavior is indeed different from ordinary people.

 “Brother Dao, would you like to take a look?”

Ignoring the six shark corpses, Chen Yulou strolled through the tomb.

Just the shadow bone tomb chamber is so weird and complicated. You can imagine how amazing the heavenly gates, the earth, the shrimp tail and the crab body must be.

"good."

Partridge Whistle didn't dare to think too much at this moment.

Especially the six shark corpses, staring straight at them with their empty, lifeless eyes.

 There is always a feeling of being peeping in the dark.

　　It makes people shudder.

Hurry up and follow, the copper coffin is open, and the air is still filled with a lingering rotten smell. As for the side, the partridge whistle subconsciously sweeps away with a lamp.

 Just one glance.

 He was a little unable to walk.

 Looking at the shape, the first one is a wooden coffin, with a coffin but no coffin.

　　Burial scriptures according to the Zhou system.

The emperor had five coffins and two coffins. The first coffin was a coffin covered with silk skin. The second coffin was made of basswood as the ground. The third coffin was called a casket. The fourth coffin was a small coffin. The fifth coffin was a large coffin covered with two coffins.

 The princes had four coffins and one coffin, the officials had two coffins and one coffin, and the scholars had one coffin and one coffin.

 Poor people with white bodies are buried only in coffins.

 So he didn't think much about it after taking a look at it from a distance. After all, the three demon coffins, bronze and stone, are each more amazing than the other, and this wooden coffin is the least conspicuous one.

But at this moment, through a layer of wind lamp leather paper, and in the flickering firelight, he could clearly see that under the accumulated dust, the coffin was like charcoal, and the wood was even more dense and tough.

  As if it had been burned in a fire.

 “Coffin!”

 Partridge whistled and recognized him immediately.

This kind of wood is clearly the legendary cassia wood.

It is said that only in places where sunlight does not reach the eternal night, the cassia tree can grow. It can take tens to hundreds of years to add a ring of growth. If you want to grow into a towering tree, it will not take thousands or even tens of thousands of years.

 In addition, the cellar wood can isolate insects and mice and is not corroded by water vapor.

 So it has been respected by emperors since ancient times.

only…

This type of wood is extremely rare.

Let alone making a coffin, even making a wooden seal is as difficult as climbing to the sky.

 With no choice but to choose golden nanmu.

There is even a saying that there is one tael of gold per gram of golden nanmu.

The cassia tree is a priceless treasure.

At least for so long, I have only heard of the name but never seen the real thing.

At this moment, he couldn't care less about the ghost lights and lamps, and carefully wiped off the thick layer of dust on the coffin.

 In an instant, a black golden light floated.

Under the charcoal wood grain, circles of growth rings are clearly visible.

Partridge Whistle specially counted a hundred and thirty-six times, which means that the wood used to build this coffin must be at least thousands of years old.

 The most amazing thing is.

The coffin is completely integrated, with no wood edges at all. It is carved from the middle section of the letter.

As the old saying goes, if you break a cellar tree, it will take eight inches of plank.

 It has not been tens of thousands of years, and it will definitely not grow to this extent.

He couldn't even imagine what kind of person it would be to be buried in the coffin of a thousand-year-old man.

Another point.

Since King Xian put it here.

 Must be aware of the high value of the cellar coffin.

 He did not occupy the magpie's nest.

From this point of view, it can be seen that King Xian was not a moral gentleman. In order to build the Tiangong Tomb, he killed many people and the blood flowed into rivers. There were more than ten thousand people buried with him?

If you think so.

Then there is only one possibility.

 The coffin he prepared for himself was even better than a cellar coffin.

only…

Partridge Whistle really can't think of any better material in the world than muslin wood.

Could it be that King Xian really ascended to the sky on a dragon and became an immortal, and the Xuan Palace here is just his tomb?

 That's why he didn't even bother to look at the cellar coffin.

　　　　　訳木, is indeed a good thing.

 While he was in a daze.

Chen Yulou, who walked around from the other side of the sarcophagus, fell on the wood grains that were shaped like black gold, and couldn't help but sigh.

 “Brother Chen also recognized it.”

Partridge Whistle took a deep breath, still unable to conceal his surprise on his face.

The world's sacred objects and spiritual trees are as vast as the sea, but even if he has been walking around the world his whole life, it is difficult to catch even a ten thousandth of them.

“Don't approach the sunken coffin or bronze coffin if it's not hard.”

 “Chen has heard of these formulas of the Touching Gold Sect.”

Chen Yulou smiled.

However, another thought came to mind.

 When it comes to the spiritual beings of heaven and earth in King Xian's tomb, it is natural that it must be the Ten Thousand Years Tai Sui plant. The second one is the fleshy stem plant in the back mountain that is about to become essence. Both of them are born from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

 As early as I planned to come to Zhelong Mountain.

 He then thought about practicing Qingmu Gong with two large herbs.

This cellar coffin has never given any thought to me.

But the aura contained in the ten thousand-year-old vegetation cannot be measured in words at all.

 Subliminally.

Chen Yulou stretched out his hand and gently pressed it on the coffin body.

 Green light floated in the palm of my hand.

Quietly activate the Aoki Kung Fu, and your spiritual consciousness travels along the green wood like lightning.

"pity…"

 Not long.

 He then retracted his hand and patted it to disperse the contaminated dust, a trace of pity flashed in his eyes.

Ten thousand-year-old vine trees are indeed rare to see.

Unfortunately, it took too long to be cut down and made into a coffin, and it was left lying in the dark Xuan Palace, and its spiritual energy was invisibly consumed.

“Using cassia wood as a coffin, I don't know what kind of demonic corpse this shadowy skeleton must be.”

Partridge Whistle didn't notice anything strange.

Just staring at the coffin, his eyes flickered.

“Who knows, maybe it's an empty coffin…”

Chen Yulou shrugged and smiled meaningfully.

The bronze coffin was used to bury demons, the copper coffin was used to bury ghosts, and the stone coffin was used to bury a ghostly stone spirit.

 Ghosts are invisible and hard to see by ordinary people.

 He said it might be an empty coffin, but that's not nonsense.

 “Empty coffin?!”

Partridge Whistle raised his eyebrows, obviously in disbelief.

but.

 Chen Yulou had no intention of explaining anything.

Holding the wind lantern, he pointed at the three will-o'-the-wisps not far away.

  I don't know why.

 Compared with the six shark corpse immortality lamps at the back.

Those three rays of light fluctuated in brightness and darkness, as if someone was hiding in the dark night and blowing in a breath of air-conditioning from time to time.

Made it look even more eerie.

Seeing this, Partridge Whistle immediately understood and without further delay, he pressed the keel of the mirror umbrella with his backhand and went straight around the cellar coffin.

 The two people quickly approached each other, one from the left and the other from the right.

 In the tomb at this moment, there was no sound of the demon corpse scratching across the copper coffin, but it also fell into a deathly silence.

 Except for the slight footsteps of the two people.

There is only the sound of the wind as the wind lantern cuts through the fog.

 Not long.

 In the light of the two wind lanterns on the left and right.

Threads of patingreen light emerged. They were three...no, four copper pillars lined up.

 The middle one is as tall as several people and has a strange shape, like a bull's head.

Partridge Whistle couldn't figure it out, and his eyes subconsciously moved towards the remaining three copper pillars.

 I thought it was three more shark corpses.

 But the moment the three will-o'-wisps became brighter, his pupils shrank suddenly.

Three faces of children with their heads lowered and eyes closed, with peaceful expressions, as if they were just sleeping children, emerged one by one in the halo.

 “Human figurines?!”

It's two or three days since the end of the month. Please give me a monthly ticket for 2,000 tickets! !
