"By the way, Brother Dao, the map shows that this is the Divine Medicine Mountain Range. The Burial Territory is still a long way from here. Why does the Burial Territory branch extend here?" Gu Wudi couldn't help but ask curiously.
What he got was a map given by the Lord of the Forbidden Zone. It could not be false, but in fact, the boundaries of the Burial Domain did not match the boundaries given on the map.
"Because your realm often fights with foreign lands, creating a vast desert with countless casualties and strong death aura. This is the favorite environment of the Burial Warrior lineage. Therefore, over the years, the boundaries of the Burial realm to which the branch belongs have been expanding. Approach that battlefield." The Undertaker replied.
While talking, it led the way, and Gu Wudi followed silently.
"What's the so-called shortcut?"
"It's a section of burial veins underground. It can save a lot of time, and can also bypass the places where adults sleep and lead directly to the burial domain." The funeral master explained.
Next, Gu Wudi experienced a wonderful journey.
The burial man took him underground and reached a dark earth vein. Black mist rolled inside and was filled with death energy. According to the burial man, this burial vein was used to absorb the death energy from the battlefield and nourish the life of the burial man. international.
Not long after, they stopped in a place where black mist rolled.
A rusty chariot parked there, like a mine cart left behind by a miner.
The buried warrior took the lead, jumped onto the dark and rusty chariot, and waved to Gu Wudi, gesturing for him to get on too.
The chariot is not big, so two people riding face to face can have their knees just one foot apart.
Gu Wudi did not hesitate, jumped onto the rusty chariot, and sat directly opposite the burial man.
The next moment, the ancient chariot started under the urging of the funeral warriors. It was whispering in its mouth and reciting ancient funeral sayings one after another. The rusty black chariot immediately glowed, and its surface was covered with mysterious lines. With a "swish" sound, he left the place and disappeared.
This is equivalent to teleportation. It only takes an instant, and it travels countless thousands of miles.
When the rusty chariot stopped, it was already a burial site in another domain.
Gu Wudi and the Undertaker jumped off the chariot and stood between a group of sarcophagi. They had all been opened. The Undertaker might have been lying inside, but now, they have left.
The two quickly left the burial vein and returned to the earth.
As soon as he landed on the surface, Gu Wudi vigilantly observed the surrounding environment. Soon, he noticed something was wrong. He felt numb all over his body and his mouth was dry.
Immediately afterwards, he discovered that his body was emitting patches of light, which was very bright.
The next moment, something shocking happened to Gu Wudi. His flesh, blood, bones... were all gone, as if they had disappeared out of thin air. In the same place, only a wisp of Qi existed, making him look like a ghost.
What's even more surprising is that the funeral warrior, who was originally shrouded in black mist and filled with the aura of death, turned into a beautiful and sacred girl, which was simply shocking.
The terrifying black mist has turned into strands of holy fairy energy, and the rotten wings behind it have turned into white wings, which are extremely sacred, just like the arrival of an angel.
"How is it possible? Where are my flesh, blood and bones?" A wisp of air drifting in the void made this sound.
The beautiful female undertaker beside her was also a little surprised. How could a living person turn into a ghost? Is this genius with unparalleled talents essentially just a ray of energy?
"Don't panic. This is the former holy land of my burial domain. It can reflect the essence of living beings and will not affect your life. After you leave the holy land, everything will return to its original state.
However, I really didn't expect that your true body is actually a ray of energy.
This reminds me of some rumors. "The beautiful female undertaker said.
"Once upon a time, there was a Burial King who suffered a great calamity. He died and was buried in a big tomb. However, his obsession persisted, and his flesh and blood turned into a butterfly, soaring in the world. He always thought that he was still alive.
However, as time went by, one day, the butterfly happened to fall into an ancient tomb and saw a withered skeleton. It was immediately confused and asked itself, who am I and who am I?
In addition to this buried king, there is also a skeleton in this holy land. It is said that one day his soul will return and remember his past and present lives.
And you, most likely have the same experience. You are a great figure who was once buried in the domain. After death, your obsession will not go away, and you will be reborn in the next life. One day, the king will return. "
As she said that, the female funeral director's eyes changed when she looked at Gu Wudi, as if it was really what she said.
Gu Wudi had no idea at this moment and could only retort: "Fellow Taoist, you are overthinking. I am not the reincarnation of some big shot."
He understood why his flesh and blood disappeared and turned into a wisp of qi, because he was originally transformed into a wisp of qi, with three bodies of essence, qi, and spirit. The other parts of the body are all refined from various heaven-defying materials through the Yin-Yang furnace. Even if it fits with the three bodies, outsiders can't see any problems. In essence, it is still foreign and does not belong to him.
Therefore, in the so-called burial domain holy land that can reflect the essence, external things are hidden, and only the essence of the Qi body remains.
"Maybe, who knows?" The female undertaker obviously didn't believe it, and still believed that Gu Wudi was transformed by the breath of the big man after his death. To put it bluntly, the breath that couldn't be swallowed was of the same nature as obsession.
Chapter 215 Bad Earth
Later, Gu Wudi asked about the sacred bones again. He was suspicious, thinking that the "holy bones" mentioned by the beautiful female burial mage might be the bones left by Shi Hao from the Emperor's Fall era.
In the original work, Shi Hao was sent to the Land of Heaven by the Lord of the Forbidden Zone. With the help of that rough stone room, he dreamed back to the Emperor's Land and survived eight lives in that Dharma-ending world, leaving behind a lot of legacy.
Then, when Shi Hao returned, he landed in the border wasteland adjacent to the Burial Domain.
Everything shows that the holy bones buried in the Holy Land of Burial Domain are his remains.
"This used to be one of the three major sacrificial holy places in our burial domain. Every long period of time, the burial kings would come here to perform sacrifices. However, all this changed because of one thing.
This holy land was the burial place of a supreme being. Since then, strange things have happened one after another. The once prosperous holy land has become deserted, and all the undertakers have retreated.
Because of this, the holy places you see today are all ruins and piles of rocks. "said the beautiful female undertaker.
Then, she continued: "According to legend, one day, the immortal obsession of the holy bones will return in the form of a butterfly, and by then, this holy land will be restored again."
Gu Wudi understood in his heart that this was the same scene as when Shi Hao arrived here, which meant that the so-called "holy bones" were the bones of Shi Hao during the Emperor's Fall.
He didn't think about looking for "holy bones" because the female burial mage said that all creatures who want to find "holy bones" are haunted by strange things, and a few people even encounter accidents and die.
Gu Wudi is not so arrogant as to think that he is special and can avoid strange erosion.
"What should we do next? Do we want to cross this sacred land?" he asked.
The female burial mage pondered for a while and decided that it would be better to cross the Holy Land, because the Holy Land is now deserted and is no longer a special taboo place.
As long as you don't mess with the "sacred bones" left by the big shot buried beneath the holy land, there won't be any problem.
If you bypass the Holy Land, it is equivalent to taking a long way around.
"Well, we are crossing the Holy Land. After the Holy Land, there is the Burial Domain." The beautiful female burial priest nodded.
Then, she took the initiative to lead the way, asking Gu Wudi to follow closely behind her, and kindly reminded not to touch certain taboos in the Holy Land, otherwise it would cause huge trouble.
"Don't worry, I'm not interested in holy land, holy bones or anything like that. I just want to quickly find the lineage of the Buried King and seek Taoism." Gu Wudi replied.
So, the two set out on the road.
"By the way, fellow Taoist, can you teach me the language of the Burial Warrior lineage? It will be very inconvenient if you don't know the Burial Warrior language in the depths of the Burial Domain." Gu Wudi from behind suddenly asked.
The beautiful female burial mage is not surprised. It is indeed inconvenient to communicate with spiritual thoughts alone. After all, the two people have taken different paths, one is full of vitality, and the other is full of death.
"it is good."
She agreed, and continued to teach Gu Wudi the funeral language along the way. Although it was a bit difficult and difficult to pronounce, it was nothing to the monks. Gu Wudi was soon able to use the burial language to communicate normally with the female burial priests, and , became more and more proficient, and eventually, he was no different from a funeral practitioner.
When you reach the depths of a foreign land, as long as you don't use Taoist magic, you will be no different from the Golden Funeral.
The two passed through ruins one after another. On the way, they could still see the grand ancient palace that had collapsed and the dark red tomb standing there, full of terrifying energy.
Every time she passed by such a place, the female funeral director would remain silent with deep awe.
According to her words, supreme figures were buried in those dark red tombs, and the legendary holy bones were among them. Since ancient times, the burial men who explored those big tombs have been haunted by strange things and made it unknown, even if the remains inside There may be a treasure buried with him, but don't think about getting involved.
What she said was so evil that Gu Wudi felt cold all over and just wanted to leave quickly.
Not long after, they arrived in front of a huge monument. They were extremely tall, but they were dilapidated and eroded by time.
Behind the giant monument, the two saw a magnificent Taoist platform, which was a hundred feet high. It was about to collapse, but it was still standing upright.
Gu Wudi's eyes flickered, and he remembered some things in the original work. When Shi Hao arrived at the Taoist platform in later generations, there was a fairy tree taking root on the back of the Taoist platform, and it was suspected that it had escaped from the depths of the burial ground. Later, this fairy tree The tree not only played with Shi Hao, but also introduced Shi Hao to the evil land.
That bad land is right next to this holy place, where a dark red tomb stands, with rotten wooden boxes buried there.
Endless years ago, when Yu Tuo was excavating an ancient burial area, he accidentally obtained an ancient scroll. Although it was broken, it recorded a mysterious place where ancient artifacts were buried.
Some people say that buried in the mysterious place is a book of scriptures, which is unpredictable to immortals and demons, shocking the world and weeping ghosts and gods, and contains supreme secrets that even the immortal king is tempted by.
Some people also say that what is buried in the earth is a burial artifact, which is specially designed to restrain the creatures of the Burial Warrior lineage. It is a treasure of great significance to the Immortal King who has always wanted to explore the ancient burial area.
In addition, there are other theories. For example, there is a mysterious power contained in the Etu Tomb, which can be taken out. Once obtained, it will be invincible in the world. Another example is that there is a creature planted in the tomb that has always been there. During the gestation, its Tao body is unparalleled and unparalleled. If someone injects the soul into it and replaces it, they will have an invincible body.
There are many legends like this, which are spread in foreign lands. However, perhaps only the Immortal King can guess what is in the Great Tomb of Ertu. However, they will not tell what the treasures are inside, but they just keep sending creatures into it. Etu, try to open it.
Gu Wudi, who has a God's perspective, naturally knows that these legends are nonsense. Buried in the Ertu Tomb is a rotten wooden box, and there is a temple inside, which contains a part of the pure soul of the corpse Immortal Emperor.
This thing is important even if it is not important. Even if you get it, you cannot open it. It can only be used as a solid and immortal artifact. Its only purpose is to check and balance the corpse immortal emperor on the other side of the world sea.
However, if he is not strong enough and blindly crosses the boundary sea with a rotten wooden box, it will only help the Corpse Immortal Emperor and make him achieve perfection, just like Shi Hao in the original work.
Generally speaking, rotten wooden boxes are still more important.
However, for now, Gu Wudi has no idea of looking for the rotten wooden box. The thing is sealed in the dark red tomb, and the method to open it is in the ancient scroll dug by Yu Tuo. Even if he knows the method to open it, the foreign side Many supreme beings still died.
He didn't want to touch the taboo and die young.
Pulling back his thoughts, Gu Wudi stared at the old Taoist platform and walked around it, but found nothing special. There was no trace of the fairy tree, which meant that the fairy tree was in the Burial Domain at the moment. Deep down, I haven’t visited this place yet.
"This Taoist platform belongs to the most powerful of the burial warriors. He once sat cross-legged on the Taoist platform and left a mark on it. Do not touch it to avoid being killed." The beautiful female burial warrior saw him circling the Taoist platform. Circle, I thought Gu Wubi Daotai had some ideas.
There may indeed be some treasure hidden in such a Taoist platform, but it must be a life-saving treasure.
"Don't worry, I'm sensible, let's go." Gu Wudi replied.
Seeing that Gu Wudi gave up the exploration of the Taoist platform, the female burial sergeant breathed a sigh of relief.
However, Gu Wudi's words immediately made her nervous again.
"I heard that one of the three holy places in the Burial Domain is next to Etu?"
"Who did you listen to?"
"There is a black skull marked on the map, which means it is extremely dangerous there."
Upon hearing this, the female undertaker sighed and said, "That's right. Once you leave this holy land, you will encounter a piece of bad land. Because the holy land has been abandoned for endless years and no undertaker has come here, the bad land has been forgotten. If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have remembered it."
Then, she showed a look of reminiscence and searched for information related to "Er Earth" in her mind. After a long time, she determined a direction leading to the legendary Er Earth.
"Hmm, is that the direction of Etu? Let's go and have a look." Gu Wudi said.
"Are you sure?" The beautiful female undertaker had a look of disbelief on her face. That was a cursed land, and it was too late to avoid it, so who would take the initiative to approach it?
"Sure, don't worry, we're not going in, we're just watching from a distance." Gu Wudi nodded.
Hearing him say this, the female undertaker breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, the two people set out on the road, which was not far from the edge of the Holy Land. It didn't take long before they were out of the Holy Land.
As soon as they left the Holy Land area, a surprising change occurred in the two of them.
The originally extremely beautiful female burial mage with a holy aura was shrouded in thick black mist. The sacred aura was no longer replaced by the unique aura of death of the burial mage, and the pair of white wings behind her became rotten again. ,dark.
