The master comes down the mountain: I don’t want to be a son-in-law

The inscription on the stele reads "Leave the Dragon in Chu", which coincides with the legend of King Wei of Chu burying gold.

But what puzzled Li Muchen was that after coming down the Ming Xiaoling Shinto Road and passing through the Yin-Yang Gate, there was no obstacle and he arrived here first.

This shows that Zhu Yuanzhang or Zhu Di knew this place and even visited it.

Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum is the tomb of Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma, and it is guarded by Shinto and [-] Yin soldiers. If Zhu Yuanzhang knew and entered the secret realm during his lifetime, it means that he became the guardian of the secret realm after his death.

So his identity during his lifetime, other than the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, or before he became the emperor...

Li Muchen vaguely guessed something, although this guess was too bold.

Zhu Xiaoyuan looked at the huge stone tablet and sighed: "It turns out that we were all wrong. The King of Chu buried gold to cut off the dragon's veins, not because King Jinling was too angry, but because he was afraid that the dragon would enter the East China Sea and disappear without a trace, so he wanted to leave the dragon's veins in the Chu land. .”

Everyone also lamented that history is sometimes so magical. Legends are very close to the truth, but there is only a small difference, but it is this small amount that makes us so wrong.

Stone monuments stand tall, giant turtles crouch, and gold shines. These are the realities before our eyes.

But the Western Zhou Dynasty was always hazy and illusory, as if it were in a dark and dull picture.

There is no starry sky above, and the mountains rise and fall like dragons on the earth.

The magma is like a sea, burning hot and flowing flames.

"Leader Li, Mr. Zhu, what should we do now? Do we want to move the gold back?" Lou Xiangtai asked.

Li Muchen didn't think about gold. He had no interest in gold.

Zhu Xiaoyuan pondered and said: "With so much gold, moving it out would be helpful to the country. However, the King of Chu buried the gold to keep the dragon in Chu. Now there is no Chu country, but China is still there. Burying the gold will break the veins, although Let the king's energy dim, but as long as the dragon veins are still there, China will not die. For the two dragons in the north and south, there is always a king's energy. It is better not to move this gold. "

Everyone agreed with Zhu Xiaoyuan's opinion. Anyway, these people are not here for money.

Lin Manqing stared at the Bixi for a while, then stepped forward and touched the Bixi's head.

"This turtle beast is so strange. It's different from our common Bixi statues."

"What's weird?" Li Muchen knew that Lin Manqing would not pay attention to such small details for no reason.

"Bixi is one of the nine sons of the dragon. He is also the hegemon. He is good at carrying heavy loads. This thing is often carved under the stone tablets of the past dynasties. But there is another saying that Bixi is a change of Xuanwu. The Chu Ci said, 'Summon Xuanwu and rush to the subordinates' ’, do you think this thing is not Bixi, but Xuanwu?”

Zhu Xiaoyuan nodded and said: "It's very possible! As for the origin of the name of Xuanwu Lake, there is a saying that it is because it is in the shadow of Zhongshan Mountain, that is, it is called North Lake, and Xuanwu is in the north. It is also said that during the Three Kingdoms, the mother of Danyang Xuanqian was in the lake He bathed in the lake and transformed into an old turtle; he also said that black dragons appeared in the lake during the Liu and Song Dynasties... All these theories are too far-fetched. But if the King of Chu built a Xuanwu stone tablet here, then the name of Xuanwu Lake would be logical."

Li Muchen suddenly said: "I'm afraid this Xuanwu was not cast by King Chu."

"Oh?" Zhu Xiaoyuan was puzzled, "The stele was carved by the King of Chu. The Xuanwu is under the stele. How could it not be cast by the King of Chu?"

"Because it is alive." Li Muchen said.

Everyone was shocked.

"Live?!"

"That's right. I just felt that there was spiritual energy floating on the stone turtle, but it was blocked by the surrounding golden energy." Lin Manqing put her hand on the turtle's head and stroked it gently. "It seems to be petrified. I don't know if it's because of the gold." If there are too many, the monument will still be too heavy.”

"It's not gold, it's not a stone tablet, it's dragon veins!" Li Muchen looked at the undulating mountains, "Only when the dragon and turtle are combined, it's called Xuanwu. Now that the dragon veins are cut off, Xuanwu is only an empty shell."

"You mean, this thing and the underground dragon vein are one and the same?"

"I don't know if they were originally one, but after King Chu Wei erected the monument, it was no longer possible for them to be together."

Lin Manqing sighed softly: "Why does it sound like a miserable love story to me!"

Everyone else was stunned. Sure enough, the brain circuits of women and men are different. No matter how hard they tried, they couldn't connect the dragon and turtle compatibility with the love story.

At this moment, the sea of ​​magma in the distance surged, and a heat wave hit his face.

"What's going on?" Everyone was shocked.

Li Muchen was also very surprised, because when he turned the compass just now, this place was already at the bottom of the secret realm. From there, the dragon veins traveled far and scattered across the land of China, and his spiritual consciousness could no longer trace it with the help of the compass.

But the sea of ​​magma suddenly turned from virtual to real, and the hot magma surged over like waves.

And Li Muchen clearly felt that powerful magic power was surging in the heat wave.

With a wishful wave of her hand, Lin Manqing rolled up a purple cloud and stood in front of everyone, blocking the heat wave of magma.

But the rock waves rise one after another, stacking up like mountains. As high as the purple cloud rolls up, it piles up as high as it can, seemingly competing to climb over the cloud wall and annihilate them.

Lin Manqing once again felt that it was difficult for Ruyi to exert all her magical power in her hand, and she always felt that there was something missing in this magic weapon.

Just when she was about to be unable to resist, Li Muchen swung the Xuanming Sword, and a black sword light crossed the cloud wall and split the red waves.

Everyone felt like they were in a dream, especially several martial arts masters, seeing such a powerful fighting technique for the first time. The shock in their minds was unparalleled, and their worldview collapsed almost in an instant.

Even the two monks couldn't help but be speechless. They didn't expect that this secret realm was so dangerous and that the seemingly delicate Mrs. Li could be so powerful.

The red waves retreated with a roar.

Lin Manqing also put away Ziyun.

People saw that the sea of ​​magma shrunk rapidly, and a coffin was exposed in the hot magma.

This scene is simply bizarre, even more fantasy than fantasy novels.

Everyone was shocked, especially Zhu Xiaoyuan, who vaguely thought of something, but couldn't believe it was true.

He felt nervous again. The state of mind he had practiced for hundreds of years had been disrupted countless times today.

Li Muchen and Zhu Xiaoyuan had similar thoughts at this time, but he thought more than Zhu Xiaoyuan. Not only did he guess the identity of the coffin, he also felt the smell of the red sea of ​​fire in the magma field.

The magma is still receding, and where it has retreated, there is only a scorched blackness, like the underworld.

Finally, he retreated to the bottom of the coffin, leaving only a pool of fire.

The flames in the pool continued to shrink, flowed upward along the coffin wall, and flowed back into the coffin.

This process looks like an inversion, which makes people think that the magma sea just overflowed from the coffin, as if the coffin was connected to hell.

Li Muchen and Lin Manqing stepped forward slowly.

Only then did the others wake up from the shock and followed with anxiety.

The walls of the coffin are nearly as tall as a person. If you were shorter, you would have to stand on your tiptoes to see inside.

There is no lid on the coffin, and there is a coffin inside the coffin, which also has no lid.

Two people were lying side by side in the coffin.

Their bodies were covered with a blanket of red fire.

Others thought it was a blanket, but Li Muchen could tell at a glance that it was a red flag.
