Peerless Xiaolong

"So many dead people?"

Looking at the corpses around him, Leng Bing couldn't help but be surprised.

Chu Yuan did not hesitate and walked quickly towards one of the mummies.

Chu Yuan knelt down in front of the mummy and illuminated it with a flashlight.

This meandering hall is close to the entrance of the cave, and the wind can blow in. Most of these corpses are air-dried.

The corpse in front of him was sitting cross-legged, which was very strange.

"Their movements all seem to be the same."

Zhu Liuying looked around and frowned slightly.

All the corpses maintained the same posture, that is, sitting cross-legged.

Some corpses were blown down by the wind, but even when they fell to the ground, their movements were already in the cross-legged position.

It's as if the people who died here are praying some kind of prayer.

"It's so strange. Why do they do this? Could it be that they are offering sacrifices or praying?"

"But how could these people die here?" Leng Bing's face was full of doubts, and he couldn't help but be extremely surprised.

Chu Yuan quickly scanned all the mummies.

Frowning, Chu Yuan said: "These corpses are not from the same dynasty. Look at the clothes they are wearing, they are not from the same dynasty."

When Chu Yuan said this, Leng Bing and Zhu Liuying soon discovered it.

"The clothes on that person over there seem to be from the Zhou Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty, and even the Qing Dynasty. Is this the intersection of time?"

"People who were not from the same period actually died here?" Leng Bing was extremely surprised.

Judging from the clothes on these corpses, these people belonged to different dynasties.

"What are they doing?" Zhu Liuying squatted down in front of one of the mummies and shined a flashlight on the face.

"There is another one in the coffin." Chu Yuan turned around and looked at the coffin.

On the other side, Leng Bing had already walked towards the wall, wanting to see if there were any records on the wall.

"Chu Yuan, eldest sister, look quickly, there is a tomb painting on it, but it seems to have been weathered, so you can't see what it is." Leng Bing shouted at this time.

Chu Yuan and Zhu Liuying both walked over.

There are traces of carved murals on the walls. They may have been worn away by the wind after so many years, and it is difficult to tell what the paintings are.

Chu Yuan looked for a long time, but didn't see anything.

"Open the coffin and take a look." Zhu Liuying said.

Chu Yuan did not refute, and the three of them walked towards the coffin.

Arriving on the coffin, Chu Yuan pulled out the Dragon Tiger Blade from his body, and Leng Bing and Zhu Liuying also pulled out a knife one after another.

The three of them worked together to pry open the coffin and lift the lid directly to the ground.

Boom!

There was a loud noise and dust was thrown up.

When the dust cleared, Chu Yuan and the two women looked into the coffin.

Lying in the huge coffin was not a person, but a huge stone.

This stone is not smooth, it is completely black, and it is covered with dense lines, but it is impossible to tell what the lines are.

Somewhat similar to Oracle.

"It's the same as the stone we got last night, except the one here is bigger." Zhu Liuying glanced at Chu Yuan and said.

"Why is there a stone in the coffin?"

Leng Bing said, reaching out to touch the lines on the stone: "Is this an oracle bone inscription?"

Chu Yuan pulled Leng Bing's hand back, turned around, and looked at the corpses around him.

"I understand." Chu Yuan said.

"What do you understand?" Zhu Liuying was confused.

"Chu Yuan, what's wrong?" Leng Bing also asked.

Chu Yuan took a deep breath and pointed at the corpses around him: "These people are practicing."

"Cultivation... practice?" Leng Bing and Zhu Liuying looked at each other.

Zhu Liuying said: "Are they practicing? What are they practicing? Are they becoming immortals?"

Chu Yuan did not answer Zhu Liuying's words immediately, but looked at the stones in the coffin and the dense lines on them.

After a while, Chu Yuan replied: "I was thinking last night about what this stone is that would make a person hold it in his hand after death."

"If I'm not wrong, people from the ancient feudal dynasty believed that this stone was a sacred stone that could enable them to attain enlightenment and become immortals, so these people are practicing here."

"I'll go, you're too outrageous." Leng Bing pouted.

"It's not outrageous. The top of this stone is very cold, like ice. This is spiritual energy, the legendary spiritual energy." Chu Yuan stretched his hand to the top of the stone.

To this day, the stone still exudes a hint of coolness.

Zhu Liuying said: "Chu Yuan, you mean that people in the past knew how to practice? And these stones are the legendary spiritual stones?"

Chu Yuan nodded: "Other than that, there is no better explanation. The person behind Cao Bao must have something to do with these stones."

"Then will we encounter some immortal here?" Leng Bing asked.

"Your idea is too crazy. In a society where science is paramount, how could there be something like this that transcends scientific knowledge..."

Chu Yuan interrupted Leng Bing: "If science can't explain it, that's because science hasn't developed to the point where it can explain it. If science can't explain it, it doesn't mean it doesn't exist."

"From a scientific perspective, is what science says necessarily correct? There are too many unknown things in the world that cannot be explained by science."

After saying this, Chu Yuan closed his eyes.

The six paths of mind were recalled again in my mind.

Chu Yuan was sealed by the jade pendant for five years. During these five years, it was like a dream to him.

But Chu Yuan knew that it was not a dream.

In other words, everything is back to where it started.

The answer Chu Yuan really wants to find is, what is the jade pendant that Chen Qiu left to him back then?

Why are there six mental methods in the jade pendant?

In Chen Qiu's words, the jade pendant was given to Chen Qiu by his grandfather Chen Changye, and Chen Qiu gave it to Chu Yuan before his death as a souvenir.

"Chen Changye!"

"Jade pendant!"

"Six Paths of Mind!"

Countless pictures flashed through Chu Yuan's mind.

It was as if at this moment, everything Chu Yuan had ever experienced was reappearing scene by scene.

Chu Yuan recited silently: "The Cao family is guarding something. Grandpa and the others left Beiwang Mountain incognito. Chen Changlong, Chen Changkong, and Chen Changfeng don't have this thing in their hands."

"Chen Changye! Jade pendant!"

The next moment, Chu Yuan suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes filled with blood red: "I know, what Cao Bao and those people are looking for turns out to be on my body."

"what?"

"Chu Yuan, what are you talking about?" Zhu Liuying and Leng Bing were confused.

Chu Yuan showed a sneer: "I see, that's it. Grandpa is really smart. He knows that the deeper you hide it, the easier it will be known, so he hid the thing on my mother's body."

"They never imagined that the jade pendant they wanted to find after searching the ancient tomb would be in Chen Qiu's hands."
