Fighter of the Destiny

I have been reading the Taoist canon since I was a child, and there is an iron ruler in the book. After entering the Zhou Tomb, Chen Changsheng looted all the treasures and magical artifacts in the nine stone chambers, but he never thought of finding a way to open the black stone coffin, although it was very likely that his most precious inheritance was hidden inside. Likewise, Xu Yourong didn't make such a suggestion out of respect for the person in the coffin.

After hearing Xu Yourong's words, he realized that even if he wanted to open the black sarcophagus before, he might not be able to do it.

A lock requires a key. If Zhou Du|husband did not want to be disturbed by others, it would be difficult to open this black sarcophagus like a hill.

Xu Yourong said: "The soul tree must have been taken away from Zhou Garden a long time ago and fell into the hands of the demons for unknown reasons. Now that I think about it, they can avoid the main entrance of Zhou Garden and find another way to sneak into Zhou Garden, or maybe they can It is related to this. And the return of the soul tree to Zhou Garden also means that the time has finally come for this black sarcophagus to be opened."

"You mean that before Zhou Du|husband died..." Chen Changsheng thought about how to describe it, and continued: "...he was ready to tell the world about his inheritance or secret hidden in the black stone coffin. That’s why he asked people to take the keys away? But if that’s the case, why didn’t he just do it back then?”

"What you said before actually makes sense. Time is the most powerful magic weapon." Xu Yourong looked at the black sarcophagus and said, "As we all know, Zhou Duhu had no descendants. This means that before he died, He didn't find a descendant who he thought was qualified to inherit his inheritance, so he let the key wander outside Zhou Garden, or he just wanted to take time to choose a successor for him."

He was a little surprised and asked: "Could it be that the knife is really in this black sarcophagus?"

Xu Yourong was silent for a moment and then said: "There is another possibility. As you said, this black stone coffin does not contain the inheritance of Zhou Du|husband, but it does contain his secrets."

Chen Changsheng said in confusion: "I just said it casually, is there really any secret?"

Xu Yourong looked into his eyes and said, "Whether Zhou Dufu is dead or not is the most important secret in the world for thousands of years."

Chen Changsheng thought about Zhou Du's husband's deeds that had long since become stories, legends and even myths, and looked at the black sarcophagus with a more solemn gaze.

He was just solemn, serious, a little nervous, but not passionate. Both he and Xu Yourong seemed a little indifferent to things like treasures and the inheritance of powerful men from previous generations. This kind of indifference cannot even be described as calm beyond his age. No matter how old a practitioner is, they will inevitably become extremely fanatical when they know that they may obtain Zhou Dufu's inheritance. For example, like the Luoyang Sect elder who sucked Xu Yourong's blood in the cliff cave, if this How could he remain calm when he appeared in front of the black sarcophagus?

The reason why Chen Changsheng and Xu Yourong were able to remain calm was because they were geniuses in Taoism and practiced the most advanced Taoism skills in the world. Zhou Du|Fu is undoubtedly the most special one, but they themselves are also special, with full confidence and pride - it is great to be able to get it, but if not, it has nothing to do with fate. Their destiny is always in their own hands. . However, thinking that what they were about to see was most likely the most shocking scene in a thousand years, they were still a little nervous. Chen Changsheng's voice subconsciously became very soft, as if he didn't want to disturb the great soul in the black coffin.

"When will this black sarcophagus be opened?"

Xu Yourong watched the light emanating from the soul hub getting weaker and weaker, deduced for a moment, and said, "It should be soon."

Outside the mausoleum, the beast tide came slowly like a black line. The key to open the black sarcophagus had awakened the soul center, and the opening of the black sarcophagus was right in front of them.

…

…

Right before their eyes, the upper half of the black sarcophagus began to slide slowly.

In the dark and empty tomb hall, a strong wind blew.

The light emanating from the soul hub was dimmed even more, as if a candle could be extinguished at any time.

Chen Changsheng moved to the side and forward to ensure that her body was completely covered. The dagger was already unsheathed and held tightly in his hand.

Boom! The huge black stone coffin slowly opened, and there was a terrible friction sound between the heavy coffin lid and the coffin body, which was really like thunder.

The mountain-like black coffin slowly separated up and down. It looked like a bolt of lightning, directly splitting the black mountain into two pieces.

Looking at this scene, Xu Yourong's eyes narrowed and he murmured in a low voice: "Break in two..."

The upper half of the black sarcophagus continued to slide until it finally stopped after a long time.

The wind was still whistling in the empty tomb hall, lingering around the black stone coffin. Because of the changes in the coffin body, the sound of the wind became shriller and shriller, making it look extremely eerie, as if someone was not there in the dim netherworld. Stop crying, the sound of endless sobbing was mixed into the previously silent music. The meaning of the soul's return gradually faded, but the atmosphere became thicker and thicker.

The soul hub finally extinguished all light. The tomb hall became dark again. They could not see the picture above while standing on the ground, but it was conceivable that the black sarcophagus had been opened. If the great man was lying quietly in the coffin, or looking at the top of the hall at this time, , of course, it is more likely that he has his eyes closed, or that he has turned into a white skeleton.

But the man in the black sarcophagus was named Zhou Dufu, and no matter how incredible things happened to him, it seemed to be a matter of course.

The sound of the wind has gradually stopped, the sound of music has gradually stopped, and the soul has returned, or may not be there anymore.

There was deathly silence in the mausoleum. Xu Yourong looked at the black sarcophagus like a broken mountain with a complicated expression, and did not speak for a long time.

Chen Changsheng's right hand holding the sword hilt was not sweaty, but for some reason it felt a little sticky and slippery. That was a nervous state of mind.

The old friend is gone, so everything will be fine. What if he was still alive? Or to be more precise, he woke up from a long sleep and resurrected, or he was unwilling to leave this world and go to the lonely and cold sea of ​​​​stars, so before he died, he used some secret to transform himself into an immortal but extremely evil creature. Life, what happens next?

Chen Changsheng's expression remained calm, but in fact he was extremely nervous inside.

Logically speaking, no matter whether Zhou Du|fu is resurrected or transformed using secret methods, as long as he can preserve his sanity, he should help them deal with the powerful demons and the terrifying beast tide that are getting closer and closer to the tomb, because Zhou Du|fu Du|Fu is a strong human being and an immortal hero who defeated the Demon King. This is also the only possibility for him and Xu Yourong to leave Zhou Garden and survive. But for some reason, he has a strong feeling that if Zhou If Du|Fu is really not dead, then everyone in Zhou Garden... will die, and even the entire continent will usher in a bloody storm.

"I want to go up and have a look." Xu Yourong's voice broke the silence of the tomb hall.

She looked at the black sarcophagus, and her eyes, which were slightly dim due to the injury, became very bright at some point.

Chen Changsheng helped her walk to the black sarcophagus, looked up for a moment, confirmed the climbing route, and carried her on his back.

After a while, they stood on the edge of the disconnected Black Mountain cliff and looked inside.

There is a huge space inside the black sarcophagus. Let alone one person, you can hold a party inside and invite a dozen girls to sing.

But now, there is not even a single person inside the black sarcophagus.

No one.

There is no such person.

Zhouyuan is the world of Zhou Du|husband.

This mausoleum was his palace of death.

The dangerous and mysterious grassland where the sun never sets is the cemetery surrounding the tomb, and those extremely powerful monsters are the tomb guards.

It was obvious that he didn't want anyone to disturb his eternal sleep, except for the key that wandered outside Zhou Garden and the new owner he chose with the help of time.

However, he did not sleep in this black sarcophagus.

Still no one has seen his body.

His life and death are still unknown.

There's a huge chance he's still alive.

This is the real secret of Zhou Garden.

This is the real secret that the Sun Never Sets Grassland wants to protect.

…

…

There is no remains of that great man in the black sarcophagus, but this does not mean that the sarcophagus is empty.

The sarcophagus was filled with leaves carved from spar, green grass carved from the finest jade, and rouge stones condensed from goblin fire were scattered randomly.

There are countless treasures in the black sarcophagus.

Xu Yourong has been in and out of the imperial palace and the Li Palace at will since he was a child, and later studied at the Saintess' Peak. He has seen many treasures. Although Chen Changsheng lived a poor life in his childhood, he has also been to the Daming Palace and the Li Palace, and even saw it in the Black Dragon Caves. The golden sea, coral trees and starry sky dotted with night pearls, so they were not moved when they looked at the treasures in the nine stone rooms.

But at this moment, they were really surprised.

Because there are too many treasures in the black sarcophagus, and it is too wasteful. The crystals carved into leaves can only maintain less than one-tenth of the original effect. It is clear that the best jadeite can be used to make countless wonderful works of art. , all carved into blades of grass, not to mention the rouge stone condensed from goblin fire... What is this if not a waste of nature?

What shocked them the most was that there was no beauty in those leaves, grass and stones.

The black sarcophagus is full of treasures, emitting light into the dark tomb hall, but it just makes people feel tacky.

These buried treasures are absolutely enough to match no matter how powerful the princes and nobles are in the world, no matter how powerful the practitioners are.

But who is worthy of the owner of this black sarcophagus?

In the imagination of the world, Zhou Dufu should be a perfect person, especially in terms of momentum, he must despise mountains and rivers and ignore the stars.

The Zhou Garden, the grassland on which the sun never sets, and this magnificent mausoleum are all proof.

How could such a person fill his sarcophagus with these extremely valuable but inferior jewelry? Standing on the edge of the black sarcophagus, looking at the golden leaves, green grass and blood rouge inside, Chen Changsheng couldn't help but shook his head, his eyes were stung by the jewelery aura emanating from the coffin, and he said, "Why do you feel so fiercely? ?”

Baoqi is a local dialect of Wenshui. Tang Sanliu often used these two words to describe the elders of the Tianhai family and the court in the National Education Academy. Chen Changsheng heard it often, so he naturally remembered it.

The focus of Xu Yourong's concern was obviously not on the means of showing off wealth in the coffin. She looked at the empty black coffin, and after a moment of silence she said: "When all practitioners enter Zhou Garden, what they want to find most is Zhou Ling. I It is no exception, but I have thought about it many times. If I enter Zhou Ling, what I want to do most is to confirm whether he is dead or not."

Because of these words, she remembered a lot of the instructions given by her elders before entering Zhou Garden, and her shoulders became heavy again.

The things she had temporarily forgotten on the stone platform because of Chen Changsheng's clear eyes all came back to her because of this black sarcophagus.

Although the inheritance of the national religion, the merger of the north and the south, and the fight against the demons are not tied to her, she must do something because of this new discovery.

"If... you can leave Zhouyuan alive."

She looked at Chen Changsheng and asked very seriously: "Please tell the world that he may still be alive."

When she spoke, her face looked very pale. This had nothing to do with the unrecovered injury, but rather the shock to her spiritual world.

Before the black sarcophagus was opened, Chen Changsheng also had an inexplicable and unknown fear of Zhou Du|husband. At this time, listening to her solemn request and looking at her pale face, his confusion became more and more... Deeply, I thought that Zhou Du|husband was a hero. Why didn't she or she have that kind of admiration for the senior masters, but were very wary?

"He is a hero and a devil."

Xu Yourong looked at him and said: "Back then, when he went to the Northland and seriously injured the Demon Lord with a knife, he was a hero. Just for the sake of spiritual advancement, he killed countless strong human beings. He was cold-blooded and extremely cruel. At those times, he was... He is a devil, and it is actually more appropriate to call him a hero. If he is still alive and really reappears in the world, I am afraid that the mainland will fall into great turmoil and chaos."

Although Chen Changsheng was familiar with Taoism, he didn't know much about the history of that year, and he didn't have any understanding of Zhou Dufu's character. Seeing the worried look on her face, he explained: "I haven't seen the remains. It means he is still alive. It is possible for a mythical figure like this to return to the sea of ​​stars without leaving a physical body."

"But his sword is not in this black sarcophagus either." Xu Yourong said.

Chen Changsheng was silent when he heard this. Yes, the knife was not there either.

Zhou Du's husband defeated all the invincible opponents in the world, relying on that knife.

The name of the knife is broken.

Cut in two.

Before the blade, no matter how powerful the opponent, no matter how solid the weapon, or even the vast earth, will be broken into two pieces.

Just like the hill-like black sarcophagus that slowly separated before their eyes.

The Two Broken Swords ranked second in the list of 100 weapons, second only to the Shuangyu Divine Spear, which ranked first.

But in fact, or everyone in the mainland believes that if the Shuangyu Divine Spear had not been Emperor Taizong’s sidearm, and if it had not left too many magical scenes in the war between humans and demons, then in the There is definitely no way to rank higher than the Two Broken Swords on the Hundred Weapons List. In other words, in the hearts of the world, the Two Broken Swords are the real number one on the Hundred Weapons List.

Because outside Luoyang City, the Shuangyu Divine Spear in Emperor Taizong's hand was defeated by the two broken knives in Zhou Du|fu's hand.

If Zhou Du|husband really died, leaving no body behind and turning into a blue smoke and returning to the sea of ​​​​stars, then no matter how you think about it, his knife should stay in this black sarcophagus.

If the knife is not in the black sarcophagus, it should still be with him. Is this the most important evidence that he is alive?

Xu Yourong stopped thinking about this matter and began to face the coming tide of beasts and prepare for what was to come. He looked at him and said, "Nan Ke is a disciple of the black robe, and the key to Zhou Ling, the piece of soul wood, is In her hands, Heipao and Zhou Du|fu were contemporaries, so he cannot be Zhou, but it is obvious that there should be some connection between Heipao and Zhou Du|fu."

Chen Changsheng was a little confused as to why she was saying this to him.

Xu Yourong looked into his eyes and said: "If you can leave Zhou Garden alive, remember to tell the whole world about this discovery. This will be of great help to find out the true identity of the black robe and help mankind fight against the demons." War may even play a decisive role."

This was the second time she asked him.

Ask him what he would do if he were alive.

Well, first of all, she is asking him to live, ignore herself, and live to take this news out of Zhou Garden.

When the phoenix is ​​about to die, its cry is also bright.

If it were normal times, Chen Changsheng would be moved by her calmness and persistence, and he would agree to her request without hesitation, and then use all means to try to leave Zhou Garden alive. But at this time, after spending so long together on the run, and after a conversation in Shitai Qingwuli, he could not agree to her request.

"Even if I throw you in the mausoleum, it is basically impossible to break through the beast tide and leave Zhou Garden alive." Looking into Xu Yourong's eyes, he said: "There is only one chance in ten thousand, but you have to go against the law." Heart, I don’t want to, because what I cultivate is to follow my heart’s will.”

The tide of beasts brings the shadow of death. At this moment, how can we be content with our hearts? All he wanted was to accompany her, either to escape, or to die here.

Xu Yourong's face turned pale, unable to accept his decision, but his eyes were warm, happy with his decision.

Chen Changsheng no longer gave her a chance to persuade him, put the dagger back into its sheath, and began to collect the gold leaves, green grass and blood rouge in the black sarcophagus.

These jewels are indeed very tacky. The carvings are good, but the aesthetics are inferior. However, they are made of the best materials and are very rare and valuable. And since Zhou Du|husband is not dead, then this is not considered tomb robbing—— The iron ruler in Three Thousand Daozang was just bypassed by him.

Of course, given his temperament, the reason why he was willing to go around like this was because he noticed that in the lake outside You Mansion, the black dragon was already showing signs of waking up. He didn't want to be scolded by the bad-tempered Uncle Long later. Yeah, it's impossible to feel good when your head is covered in blood, and it feels terrible to be covered in ambergris.

The dagger was sheathed and its edge was hidden, but it was still invincible. At the point of the scabbard, the golden leaves, green grass, and blood rouge disappeared one after another, and were quietly taken away.

After doing these things, he supported Xu Yourong and prepared to get off the black sarcophagus. Suddenly, Xu Yourong didn't know what he saw and let out an exclamation.

He turned back and followed her line of sight, only to see that the black sarcophagus where the treasures had been taken away was empty, with nothing in it.

Somewhere on the inner wall of the black sarcophagus, there were faintly carved lines.

Those lines are not patterns, they seem to be words.

Some lines look like pictures.

(First of all, today I found out that The Book of Destiny has been heavily promoted on Qidian. Well, I feel a bit complicated. I didn’t expect to meet some friends at Qidian again in such a short period of time. Now I still can’t manage the book review area of ​​Qidian, either. I can't upload it myself, so I can't communicate with you. I'd like to say hello and thank you all. Also, there are tasks for this month. Vice Edition The Ugliest helped me count several times. As of the end yesterday, there were still 8,000 words left. I did the math by myself, but it turned out that it was still more than ten thousand short... In the end, both of them were confused. No matter what, they just wrote according to the upper limit. This chapter is five thousand words, so today there will be more than five thousand words updated. About Things about the New Year, things about the golden keyboard, things about thanking you all, I will come back to you after I finish the work, see you tonight, I wish you all a happy meal and fun tonight.)
