Chapter 65 Taiyin Refining
The tomb of an emperor has always been of great importance in the country. The dragon, cave, sand, water, location and direction are all indispensable.
The so-called dragon must be tortuous, the cave must hide wind and gather energy, the sand must be surrounding, the water must be gathered, and the orientation must be in accordance with yin and yang.
Although Longling is hidden deep in the mountains, it also meets these elements.
It is an auspicious place with high mountains and water. It must be said that the person who instructed Emperor Taizu of Ming Dynasty to build Longling had profound attainments in Feng Shui. It was really a stroke of genius that he could build this place where nine bends hide dragons.
But extremes will inevitably lead to decline, and extreme strength will lead to failure. Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty wanted to choose the leader of the dragons to rule the world, but he forgot the principle that things will turn into the opposite when they reach their extremes. In other words, the emperor with great talent and strategy at that time was not afraid even if he knew it. This is because every founding monarch is a heroic ruler.
Jinling has been a land of kings and princes since ancient times. Although its dragon veins have been destroyed many times, they are still not broken.
Longling is located here, gathering the energy of Jinling's dragon veins from past dynasties. It is blessed with unique natural conditions, giving birth to real dragons. Its energy is so strong that it still continues even after the Ming Dynasty fell a hundred years ago.
That is why, when everyone looked at the golden coffin on the nine-story platform in the tomb, they were shocked by the sight of it swallowing the sky and spitting out the earth.
In the tomb, the roof seemed to collapse and clouds of smoke fell down. It was like a whirlpool, circling around the golden coffin. The Taoist was sitting in the seven-star lamp, looking at the coffin with a smile on his face.
A dragon roar was heard from outside the tomb, and blood rose from the four bronze tripods on the platform. They climbed up and merged with each other, gradually merging with the black fog to form a blood dragon that coiled above the coffin.
The blood dragon looked down in all directions, causing everyone in the tomb to fall into silence.
How many people in the martial arts world have ever seen such a mysterious scene? Many people were trembling with fear, and some were so frightened that they were paralyzed on the ground, staring at the blood dragon with lifeless eyes.
"Dragon! It's a dragon!"
"Are there really dragons in this world?!"
The unbelievers screamed at the top of their lungs, while the timid ones knelt down to worship. With the appearance of the blood dragon, most of the people in the martial arts world who were originally fighting fiercely instantly lost their fighting spirit and looked at the blood dragon perched on the high platform.
Upon seeing this, the people in yellow robes guarding the stage knelt down and worshipped, shouting slogans for peace and praying to the unknown Heavenly Father.
As for why it is Heavenly Father, it is because Hong Xiuquan studied "Good Words to Admonish the World" and claimed that he was the son of Heavenly Father and the second son of God. Jesus was his elder brother, and he saved the people in the world, so the people of Taiping respected Heavenly Father as their master.
"King Yi, if you don't come back now, when will you?!" The old Taoist shouted, and the blood dragon leaped into the golden coffin. As the smoke and clouds swirled, the coffin, which was already shaking, shook even faster. The high stone steps collided with each other, making the people present feel depressed.
The Taoist has such a mysterious magic, so the creature that comes out of the coffin must be extraordinary. Can such mediocre people like them really escape unscathed?
Some of the people in the underworld had already retreated and quietly fled out of the tomb. However, not long after they left the tomb, they heard a scream.
Some people stumbled back in pain, but their faces were already unrecognizable, with nearly half of their flesh corroded.
The man lying on the ground was breathing in more than out.
"Outside, outside. A disaster!" He uttered a few words with sobs, and then he was no longer able to breathe.
Seeing this, everyone in the tomb felt heavy and panicked. They all looked at each other anxiously, and finally their eyes focused on Bai Li who was standing in the crowd.
"Ms. Bai, what should we do?" someone from the side door asked worriedly.
There were also Taoists who were angry and pointed their Tai Chi swords at the high platform.
"I never thought that the remnants of the Taiping would use such despicable means to turn this Yanglong land into a place of evil dragons! Such actions are against the harmony of heaven, and the thieves will be punished sooner or later!"
Monks chanted, thieves calculated, and martial artists worried. All living beings gathered here, each with their own plans.
The woman in white, who was highly expected by others, just looked at the situation on the platform, her expression did not change at all. "The place where the evil dragon lives will not last long, and the heaven and earth cannot tolerate its existence." She said calmly. "This person is already at the end of his strength, how long can he maintain this situation?"
The evil dragon is trapped. It is the place where the true dragon is trapped and the place where disasters come to the common people.
It is said that the Land of Evil Dragons is enough to bring down a real dragon and damage the country's fortune.
The famous place of the dragon of disaster is called Shaqiu, and there is a palace on it called Shaqiu Palace. King Zhou of Shang and King Wuling of Zhao both died here, and the emperor Ying Zheng also died in Shaqiu Palace. After these three people, their countries were destroyed and dynasties were ruined. Only then did the world know what the place of the dragon of disaster was like.
Today, the Taoist priests have changed the formation through blood sacrifices, using the flesh and blood of rich people as sacrifices, reversing yin and yang, and then creating the world, turning the original land of true dragons into the land of evil dragons.
Everyone listened to Bai Li's words and agreed with them. They were still feeling uneasy but didn't let it go, and looked at the situation on the platform again.
There was only a crisp sound of jade breaking, and then the shaking coffin stopped. The entire tomb was silent, and even a pin drop could be heard. Everyone stared at the golden coffin, waiting for something to happen.
At this moment, a chill swept through the entire tomb. Everyone felt their skin and hair go cold, and a tingling sensation came from the back of their heads.
Li Daoxuan touched his arm and felt goose bumps rising. He knew that something strange was about to come out of the coffin.
"Here it comes." Li Daoxuan whispered softly, and then he heard the sound of a copper bell vibrating.
A figure slowly stood up from the coffin accompanied by the sound of crisp bells.
"May God bless you! I am so lucky!" the Taoist said in a high and long voice. "King Yi! I have finally waited for you to come back! We will continue what we have not yet done! Let the wicked Manchu country return to the Han Dynasty!"
The Taoist said this with a look of joy on his face. He was about to stand up, but found that he had no strength left.
He is now extremely old, a languid old man, half a step into the earth. After all, changing one's fate against the will of heaven is against the will of heaven. The Taoist used the Seven Star Lamp to forcibly extend his life, which has already damaged his own vitality.
"I'm afraid I can't accompany King Yi anymore." The Taoist sighed.
The person who stood up from the coffin was wearing armor inlaid with white jade, with a jade pendant hanging on his chest. His hair was long and reached his calves, and his fingers, hidden under the jade armor, had long and hard nails.
He listened to the Taoist's words and seemed to understand what he meant. He just mumbled something in a low voice, and no one could know what he was saying.
Bai Li looked at the man in jade armor who stood up from the coffin, and her expression changed slightly. She took a deep breath, stared at the Taoist priest and said, "Taiyin Refining Form, you actually used this method by force."
"I have no way to retreat." The Taoist listened to Bai Li's words and said in an old voice. "King Yi has been dead for more than ten years. Even if I have great ability, I can't save his soul. Only this method can make him live again in the world."
"The Taiyin Form Refining Technique is a forbidden technique. Do you know what kind of monsters and demons will be created if the Form Refining Technique fails?" Bai Li asked coldly. "When it becomes a disaster in the world, it will not only harm the Manchu bannermen, but also the innocent people in the world who will be trapped in purgatory!"
"I naturally know, but it's too late." After the Taoist said this, he sat back where he was and did not move.
Li Daoxuan, who was listening in the audience, heard the conversation between the two and had a better understanding of the current situation.
"I didn't expect that this Taoist actually used the Taiyin body refining technique." Li Daoxuan said in shock.
Taiyin Refining Body is a unique method of Taoism. The old Taoist once mentioned this method when he taught me, but he said that this forbidden technique had long been lost. I didn't expect that today in Longling, this Taoist would perform the Taiyin Refining Body Technique.
