C2302 Mausoleum Keeper

The mountains were as vast as a mountain, and they were crisscrossed with dog teeth and numerous cliffs. Although the sky was dark here, the cliffs still gave off a feeling as if they were about to pierce through the clouds.

Although this group of four people were like a beast, with the exception of the useless old swindler, their cultivations were not ordinary people, but they still had to be extra careful. With Lin Bai leading the way, they used the wind and water to travel, avoiding the most dangerous part of the White Tiger's corpse.

The Eastern Azure Dragon Mansion was filled with envious people. The White Tiger in the west was sitting on the Ouroboros, hanging low on all sides. It was blowing in all directions. The temple was gradually stained with grass and smelly dirt!

Along the way, even though he had done his best to avoid the evil spirits brought about by the corpse of the White Tiger, Lin Bai still felt that the Feng Shui terrain was not simple at all. He even had a feeling that this Feng Shui terrain was not formed by the connection of heaven and earth, but formed by some kind of unfathomable manpower.

But this was only a feeling, because even though Lin Bai was at the level of being able to withstand the wind and water, he still couldn't see any traces of an axe. However, the more it was like this, the deeper the feeling of vigilance he had in his heart.

Because if this place was really created by human, and if he could not detect any traces of it, then the cultivation level of the person from the Wind Water Bureau who set up the White Tiger's corpse would be shocking. Even he himself could only look up to it, this method was very close to creation!

"Wait a minute!" And just as they were about to arrive at their destination, Lin Bai suddenly stopped in his tracks. His eyes revealed a trace of wariness as he raised his hand to stop Cheng Wu and the others. He said in a deep voice, "There seems to be someone up ahead!"

Astonishingly, there was a person sitting cross-legged in the midst of the grey Qi. However, it was impossible to tell what that person described under the dim Qi. However, in this strange place, the sudden appearance of a person's shadow was also an extremely strange thing. It was enough to make people take it seriously.

As soon as he said that, the air became silent. The Yin Qi and Water Beast's body was shaking too. The water essence was coming out, as if they were facing a great enemy! However, unlike Lin Bai and the Yin and Water Beast, Cheng Wu, the old swindler, and the Third Master all had relaxed expressions. There was even a smile on their faces.

"Brother Lin, there's no need to make such a big fuss over nothing. It's just a rotten corpse. When we came here earlier, we had seen the corpse of someone else." Noticing the suspicious look on Lin Bai's face, Cheng Wudang smiled as he explained.

Hearing this, Lin Bai heaved a sigh of relief. Curious, he walked towards the skeleton.

As Lin Bai approached, he was shocked to discover that the figure was exactly as Cheng Wu had said, a skeleton. It was only because of the gray fog that he couldn't see it clearly.

The corpse had been sitting in this place for who knows how many years. Although the clothes covering its body could still be seen as a daoist robe, the material and design of the robe were already mottled beyond compare.

Although the corpse had been sitting there for a long time, its body had not decayed like the Taoist robe. Although the water had evaporated and made it wither, its muscles still possessed some kind of astonishing elasticity. He sat cross-legged on top of a huge rock, his back facing the cliff that formed the White Tiger's corpse. It was as if he was guarding the door that led inside!

What was even more shocking was the vigorous Qi that was being transmitted from the skeleton. Although an unknown amount of time had passed, there was still an indescribable powerful aura that came sweeping over from all directions from above the rotten and shriveled corpse. Other than Lin Bai, Cheng Wukong, the old swindler, and the others were basically unable to approach the corpse.

"If I'm not wrong, this corpse should be the guardian of this place!" Gazing at the withered corpse, Cheng Wu couldn't help but sigh. With his own strength, he protected the Boneyard, and even though time had taken away all the vitality and activity in his body, he still faced the Boneyard. His initial determination did not change, and it was hard to imagine it.

Even he was filled with reverence when facing this skeleton, not to mention that countless years had passed since his death. He did not dare to imagine how terrifying the pressure would be if this person did not die and instead appeared before him in his prime!

Such a person would definitely be known as the outstanding person of this person! However, even this kind of powerful expert only remained here. No matter how much life force he used up, he did not dare to leave in the slightest. This showed just how unfathomable this place was!

"Damn it, this is shocking! Master Beast jumped for a long time, and it turned out to be a rotten corpse with its body buried in the ground!" It was at this moment that the Yin Qi Water Beast, which had been scared half to death by the figure that had suddenly appeared, suddenly felt that its cowering was truly a loss of its identity as a Spiritual Beast after seeing the appearance of the corpse. It muttered under its breath, raised its claws and smacked towards the corpse.

"You can't …" Upon seeing the movements of the Yin Master and Water Beast, Cheng Wu felt half of his body go numb, so he quickly spoke up.

"Stupid thing, how could you disturb Senior's rest!" It was not only Cheng Wu, even Lin Bai felt his scalp go numb. He felt that the actions of the Yin and Water Beast were a bit too excessive, but by the time he said those words, it was already too late. The Yin and Water Beast's huge claws had already slammed into the corpse, causing it to immediately collapse and fall to the ground, scattering dust everywhere.

This fellow … when Lin Bai and Cheng Wu saw this scene, they immediately shook their heads and sighed. Although they did not know the true identity of this corpse, just based on the fact that he had guarded this place and had experienced the invasion of countless years without changing his mind, it was enough for them to respect him. Such a person, such ambition, should have continued to stand tall in this place, but now he was turned into ashes with a single slap from the Yin Spirit Water Beast.

However, the Yin Master Water Beast was originally a fool, and since the incident had already occurred, there was nothing it could do about it. Although the spectators were all sighing in their hearts, they couldn't really criticize it harshly for its rude actions.

Dust to dust, dust to dust. It's been so many years, and it's time for him to rest in peace. Beast Lord, I'm here to seek a release for him. Looking at the situation of the crowd, the Yin Qi Water Beast knew that it had gone overboard, but it still refused to back down.

"You silly thing, be careful of your claws in the future. If you dare to make any more reckless movements, be careful that I do not care about my past relationships and will chop off your claws!" Lin Bai could not help but bitterly smile as he shook his head. He angrily rebuked the Yin Master Water Beast. However, he also felt that although the words of the Yin Master Water Beast were justifying him, there was actually some meaning in them.

This skeleton had been guarding this place for hundreds of thousands of years. Although its heart was still intact, it was still a burden to him. Even if its body was rotten, it would still bear the burden. And now, the Yin spirit water beast had scattered his body, turned him to dust, brought him back to earth. Wasn't this the same as asking for a release and redemption?

"What is this?" Just as he was smiling bitterly and shaking his head, Lin Bai suddenly discovered that after the corpse was overturned by the Yin and Water Beast, there were actually some inscriptions on it, as if it was narrating something.

It wasn't just Lin Bai, but also Cheng Wu had noticed this strange phenomenon. He walked forward and swept away the dust on the patterns. Only after that, did the words on the inside become clear. These few lines of text could be said to be completely different from the current script. On the contrary, they were somewhat similar to the beast-tattooed birds of the pre-Qin era.

This passage was left behind by the corpse. The meaning of the words was that the corpse was indeed as everyone had guessed, the guardian of this burial site. Even though it had guarded this place for over a hundred years, no successor had come. Later on, there was a change. Even more people didn't enter, so they had to turn into bones to guard this place. It was truly sad.

"The Mausoleum Guard. It really is a Mausoleum Guard …" After Cheng Wu finished reading, he sighed and said: "From ancient times until now, only these people guarding the mausoleum have had the courage and perseverance to leave a place for generations to live!"

As Cheng Wu said, if one must find a group of people with the most exceptional perseverance and patience in this world, then this group of people would definitely belong to the Mausoleum Guard Faction.

From ancient times until now, countless emperors and generals would guard the tomb a hundred years from now, even if the tomb wasn't stolen by a petty thief. And these people who guarded the tomb would often belong to an entire clan. These people could be said to be the best embodiment of China's moral integrity. As long as they accepted this mission, they would spend their entire lives defending this honor.

There were more than a hundred Chinese dynasties, and there were also countless remaining Mausoleum Guardians. Since ancient times, the number of Mausoleum Guardians who sacrificed their lives to protect their tombs from outsiders was even more numerous.

And as far as Lin Bai knew, even in the current era of Hua Xia, there were still some clan that guarded the mausoleum. Moreover, most of these clans had inherited the mission of guarding the mausoleum for thousands of years. Even so, no matter how miserable their lives were, they would never change their mind. They would still silently guard their own mission until the end of time.

However, what Lin Bai did not understand was, if the corpse in front of him was a mausoleum guard, could it be that the White Tiger's mausoleum belonged to someone? But who could it be?
