Chapter 152 The Female Corpse in the Tomb
"Master Huang, this is Kun Lake. The tomb of the Nine Lives Immortal, which the Zhou family has guarded for generations, is at the bottom of Kun Lake."
Master Zhou's tone was full of temptation:
"Since ancient times, the tombs of powerful Jindan masters often have five-element foundation-building pools. Moreover, the Nine-Life Immortal is not an ordinary Jindan master. The opportunity for you and me to build our foundation can definitely be found in the tomb."
Tian Lin did not comment. He was touching the token given by Master Zhou, but his mind was drifting to the wooden tablet in the storage bag.
"Master Huang, what are you still hesitating about? Let's go down to the lake!"
Master Zhou urged, Tian Lin glanced at Master Zhou and laughed:
"You are the one who told me about the tomb of the Nine-Life Immortal. You must be very familiar with the tomb of the Nine-Life Immortal, so please ask friend Zhou to go down to the lake first."
Master Zhou seemed to have anticipated what Tian Lin would do, so he was not angry.
He took out a breath-holding pill, put it in his mouth, and jumped into the water.
Tian Lin frowned and turned to look at the man behind him: "You are my subordinate, do you still want me to scout the way for you?"
The man was obviously very wary of Patriarch Yaoyue, so when Tian Lin glared at him, he quickly took a breath-holding pill and jumped into Kun Lake as well.
The three of them went one after the other and went straight to the bottom of the lake.
There is no spiritual energy leaking from Kun Lake, and it looks no different from other lakes. Who would have thought that a powerful Jindan master is buried here?
Even if we know that there are treasures at the bottom of the lake, how can ordinary people find the stone gate hidden under the green algae?
All three of them entered the water, and for a moment no one could make a sound.
Master Zhou walked to a stone wall and lifted up the green algae to reveal a small round hole underneath.
Master Zhou reached out and took out some unknown snails from the round hole, then looked at Tian Lin.
Tian Lin didn't say anything, and directly inserted the token given by Master Zhou into the hole.
There was a "click" sound, and as Tian Lin turned the key, the stone wall that had been tightly closed suddenly shook, and then the stone door appeared.
As the stone door, which had been sealed for who knows how long, opened, a burst of mud and sand stirred up the water at the bottom of the lake, obstructing the vision of the three people.
Tian Lin still looked at Master Zhou and motioned for him to go in first.
Master Zhou was quite calm. He puffed his lips, took out his flying sword, and strode into the cave inside the stone gate.
There was no light in the cave, so it was quite dark.
But the three of them had all reached the twelfth level of Qi Refining, so it was not surprising that they couldn't see anything.
However, Master Zhou still took out a bead from his storage bag. The bead emitted a precious light in the stone cave, instantly illuminating the cave.
"Friend Zhou, why don't you leave?"
The cave is densely covered with stones. These stones look ordinary at first glance, but Tian Lin knows that these stones actually form a formation.
If you take a wrong step, you will die instantly.
He watched Master Zhou take about ten steps and each time he walked, he was moving in the correct direction.
But at the corner of the cave, Master Zhou hesitated to move forward.
Tian Lin suddenly spoke, and Master Zhou couldn't help but be surprised.
He didn't know that Tian Lin had practiced the breath-holding technique, and only thought that Tian Lin entered the water after taking the breath-holding pill.
Who would have thought that Tian Lin could actually speak without breathing.
"Master Huang, in my opinion, we should wait until we are fully prepared before moving forward."
At first, Master Zhou was shocked when Tian Lin spoke. This time, Master Zhou suddenly spoke ventriloquially, and Tian Lin was also a little surprised.
"Each stone has inscriptions on it. The first five steps are Xun, Kun, Gen, Kan, and Zhen. I say, and you walk."
Tian Lin had waited for more than three months to enter this tomb, so how could he agree to give up halfway?
Master Zhou on the other side was skeptical, but he looked at the man behind him.
This man originally invited Master Zhou to kill Tian Lin, and the two of them never thought of going deep into the tomb.
Now seeing Master Zhou looking at him, he shook his head as if pleading.
As the saying goes, it is better to let my friend die than to let myself die. Master Zhou didn't know why Tian Lin's temperament, words and deeds were not like "Old Huang", but he knew that he was no match for "Old Huang", so the task of exploring the way was naturally left to the man.
The man had nowhere to turn to, so he had to step forward and follow Tian Lin's instructions.
He was originally in a desperate mood, but after walking a few steps, he found that there was no danger in the dark cave, so he became braver.
The three of them walked about a hundred steps when three forks in the road appeared in front of them.
The man and Master Zhou both turned their heads to look at Tian Lin, and saw Tian Lin pointing to the fork in the road on the right. The man hesitated for a moment and then went into the fork.
This fork in the road is narrower than the previous cave, but it becomes brighter inside.
I saw that the fork in the road was inlaid with glowing beads. These beads were of different colors and sizes, emitting colorful light.
"It's the Night Pearl!"
Master Zhou's ventriloquy seemed a little excited, but he quickly calmed down.
There were several bodies lying on both sides of the fork in the road.
These corpses were holding night-shining pearls in their hands. It was obvious that they had tried to take the night-shining pearls off the stone wall before they died, but somehow they died.
"This night-shining pearl is poisonous. If you don't want to die, I hope you two won't try to take it."
Tian Lin actually didn't know whether the Night Pearl was poisonous or not, because his entries always turned poisonous things into harmless "food".
This night pearl is not poisonous and can also enhance spiritual energy.
But what Tian Lin wants now is not spiritual energy, what he wants more is the thousand-year-old wood hidden here that he can take away.
Although this idea is naive, after all, things in the fantasy world cannot be brought into reality.
But Tian Lin was at his wits' end at this moment, as he had not found the thousand-year-old tree on the Wendao Mountain.
Tian Lin thought about it and asked about the stone steps and hillsides on the mountain that he had never stepped on, except for the higher ones. Only this tomb was related to Zhou Shoufan and was a place he had never explored.
"Temple Master Huang is right. These are just a few night-shining pearls. As long as we find the main chamber of the tomb of the Nine-Life Immortal, we will definitely get a lot more treasures than these few night-shining pearls. It's best not to lose the big picture for the small."
At this moment, Master Zhou has changed from "killing" Tian Lin to exploring the tomb with Tian Lin.
He didn't know how Tian Lin knew the Zhou family's map.
However, none of this matters.
What’s important is that the tomb of True Man Jiu Ming may really help him build his foundation.
The three of them continued to move forward, and in this fork in the road, they saw more and more dead bodies.
"This tomb is so huge that if you want to walk through it completely, it will probably take you three days and three nights."
The further he went in, the more shocked Master Zhou felt.
Along the way, the three of them saw a lot of treasures, but they all restrained their impulse and did not take them rashly.
Finally, a secret room appeared in the eyes of the three people.
A few people walked out of another fork in the road and saw a lake within a lake appearing at the bottom of the lake.
The so-called lake within a lake is a lake separated by five huge pools.
The five pools were paved with stone bricks - the stone bricks not only separated the five pools, but also formed five paths leading to the central stone bed.
"These five pools are the Five Elements Foundation Building Pools!"
Looking at the five pools of water with rising mist, Master Zhou walked to the shore and knelt down involuntarily.
He started to cheat and defraud people when he was young, and later he made a living by selling Hwahwalang across the sea alone.
He has walked step by step to today, his hair and beard have already turned gray, all for the purpose of building a foundation one day.
This time he teamed up with Tian Lin's subordinates to kill 'Master Huang', but the other party promised to use the followers of the Blood Cult to help him find the foundation pool.
But now, killing 'Master Huang' is no longer important. What is important is that he can really build a foundation.
"What kind of fruit do the lotus flowers in those ponds bear?"
Tian Lin walked up to Master Zhou and looked at the lotus flowers in the pond.
These lotus flowers have lotus pods and lotus leaves, but the fruits on the lotus pods are completely different.
These fruits are big and small, and of different colors. They look very tempting yet extremely strange.
"This is probably the Dao fruit of the Nine-Life Immortal."
Immortal Master Zhou said: "When you reach the Golden Core Realm, you have already established the Five Elements foundation and cultivated various magical powers. A Dao Fruit represents a Dao of the Nine-Life True Man in his lifetime."
After saying this, Master Zhou suddenly stood up and pointed at the man from the Blood Sect and said, "The Five Elements Foundation Building Pool is below. The Five Elements Foundation Building Pool is full of Dao Fruits. Why don't you go down?"
The man was not stupid, he immediately said: "I am a blood believer, I cultivate blood Qi. Although the Five Elements Foundation Building Pool is good, it is of no use to me."
After hearing this, Tian Lin and Master Zhou both frowned.
The man was also shocked and couldn't help asking, "How can I speak?"
Master Zhou and the man were both briefly frightened, but they were absolutely reluctant to let the two leave at this time.
"Get off here!"
The flying sword in Master Zhou's hand turned into a sword light and stabbed at the man. The man quickly took out a piece of talisman paper to protect his body.
While the two of them were fighting each other, Tian Lin's eyes were looking at the surrounding stone walls and the flying boat in the pool.
The Blood Cult man was obviously no match for Master Zhou. With a splash, the Blood Cult man was knocked into the pool by Master Zhou.
Water splashed in the Shuiling foundation-building pool, causing the lotus flowers in the pool to sway.
The man closed his eyes in despair, waiting to die, but after a moment he said in surprise: "There is no poison in this pool, I won't die."
Master Zhou was overjoyed and jumped into the Shuiling Pool.
They were eager to grab the Dao fruit, but Tian Lin was not in a hurry. Instead, he pointed to a boat in the pond and asked, "What kind of boat is this?"
Immortal Master Zhou said: "This ship is covered with runes. It must be a treasure ship."
Tian Lin frowned and said coldly: "Isn't this a thousand-year-old tree?"
Zhou Xianshi said: "The boat planks are made of thousand-year-old wood."
Tian Lin was overjoyed. When he raised his hand, he found that the treasure ship began to shrink and fell into his palm as he wished.
Tian Lin put the palm-sized wooden boat into his storage bag and then looked into the pool.
Nearly half of the hundreds of Dao fruits in the pool had been snatched away by Master Zhou and the man, but Tian Lin's eyes were fixed on the stone bed guarded by five pools.
The stone bed is a stone step-out bed, which is covered by an unknown curtain.
But as soon as Tian Lin entered the cave, he saw a high stool next to the stone bed, and on the stool was a plate covered with runes.
There was a fruit on the plate that looked crystal clear. Tian Lin didn't know what this fruit was, but based on the information displayed in the entry, this fruit was obviously completely different from the fruits in the pond.
"Not to mention the thousand-year-old wooden boat, just this fruit is worth the trip."
Tian Lin took out the Immortal Binding Rope in his hand, which wrapped around the plate from a distance and flew towards Tian Lin.
Just as the plate was rolled over by Tian Lin, the curtains on the bed opened.
Tian Lin only saw a woman's body suddenly appear on the empty bed.
The woman lay flat on her back and did not stand up. Although the opened curtain revealed her figure, Tian Lin could not see her face from his angle.
"Brother Yu, are you here to see me?"
