C967 Yao Guangxiao Harming Me Liu Bowen
The moment he saw the pile of bones underneath the gorgeous flower, all of the doubts in his heart towards this cave abode were completely made clear.
He finally understood why this Blessed Paradise was not recorded in the Chinese Historical Records. He also understood why the 6th generation ancestor did not soar into the sky like he thought he would after obtaining this secret cave. The reason for all of this was very simple. This abode was not some so-called Blessed Paradise, but a plot to lure people in and then murder them!
Just what was the purpose of the person who laid down this cave dwelling? The truth was already covered by time, and no one knew.
However, Lin Bai was still extremely impressed by the person who laid down this cave dwelling. He had to admit that this person's every step of the way, had a firm grasp on the rhythm of the changes in the hearts of people. After expending a great deal of effort, they were finally able to enter the water. When they opened the door of the cave and saw the phenomenon inside, they were able to imagine that all of this was not a sign of a blessed spot, but a conspiracy!
And even if there were people who were suspicious of this Blessed Paradise, as long as they entered the cave, they would be able to smell that strange fragrance. One had to know that anyone who was able to enter this place would definitely have an extraordinary cultivation base in the art of phase change, and would also be well-versed in the various legends of the Blessed Paradises. After smelling the fragrance, how could they not have all sorts of wondrous thoughts in their hearts, thinking that there was some heaven defying treasure hidden in the cave.
When their minds were captivated by the fragrance, their minds would also be devoured by desire. When that time came, it would be like a conspiracy had come to an end.
"Dammit, Junior Brother, what the hell is this? Why does it feel like I'm looking at a Five-Colored Immortal Zoysia?!" Zhang Sanmeng looked at the strange flower in front of him that was still emitting its fragrance, and asked Lin Bai with a lingering fear in his heart. He had always been a fearless man, and in the circumstances he felt a great deal of fear.
Chen Baishan was frowning as well, disbelief written all over his face. He was cursing himself in his heart for not being smart in his whole life, but now that he was covered in pig fat, he had touched the Five-Colored Immortal Zoysia, causing his escape route to be blocked by a giant boulder.
"If my guess is not wrong, this should be a variant of the Devil's Snare Flower. Its name is Mandala, also known as the Resurrection Lily!" Lin Bai frowned and pondered for a while. He said, "This flower only grows in dark and rotten places. Some people say it is connected to the Underworld." "Although this flower is beautiful, it is like a mandala flower. It can bring about chaos to one's mind. However, since this flower exists in this world, it is very rare to see it. I never thought that there would be one here!"
The ugly things in the world would often have beautiful appearances, because they were astonishingly beautiful. Therefore, even if someone were to die under these beautiful things, they would only think that these things were the purest and most beautiful things in the world.
"The Dragon-Breaking Rock has fallen. The only way out has been cut off. Where should we go?" Chen Baian turned around and lightly knocked on the boulder that blocked his way back a few times. After hearing the dull sound, he sighed and looked at Lin Bai worriedly.
This Dragon-Breaking Rock was incomparably heavy. Even though Lin Bai had practiced horizontally since he was young, it still wasn't enough in front of this Dragon-Breaking Rock. How could he even move it the slightest bit?
"Youngest junior brother, come here quickly. It seems like something is written here!" Zhang SanKuang was already in a hurry, and after circling around the stone room a few times, he felt that the flashlight seemed to have found something. He could not help but wave at Lin Bai, greeting him.
Since there were so many white bones here, it meant that a lot of people had died here in the past. Those who were able to enter this place were definitely not ordinary people, and it was not certain that these people would come up with a way to open the path of survival. Even if there was no written method to escape, at the very least, they would be able to understand everything about this cave through what was written here, and even if they died, they would be able to understand it.
Lin Bai and the rest quickly walked in front of Zhang SanKuang, turned on the light and shone it on the wall. There was a line of words written on the wall, and these words were written in ancient script. It was obvious that this was not something left behind by the people of this world. However, due to the age difference, the handwriting was a bit blurry.
However, the person who wrote these words clearly had a great deal of resentment in his heart. Every line was carved deep into the stone, and even after careful observation, one would still be able to see it clearly. After such a short explanation, Lin Bai and the other two felt as if they had fallen into an icehouse. The stone room was completely silent. At this moment, their heartbeats had almost stopped, and only heavy breathing could be heard.
Yao Guangxiao harmed my Uncle Liu!
The words were 'three rows' and 'one line'. It was as if all the strength in his body had been exhausted. It was obvious that the person who had written these words had an extremely strong grudge in his heart! It was already clear that this was not a Blessed Paradise discovered by the Sixth Patriarch, but rather a trap set up by others to harm him. It was obvious that the Sixth Patriarch had perished here!
At this moment, Lin Bai no longer knew what to say to describe his feelings. He would never have thought that the legendary Liu Bowen would die here! Lin Bai could not accept this discovery. It was like a diaosi who had been yearning for a goddess in her class, only to discover that the goddess was just a misstep in a small shop by the side of the street.
Not only that, Lin Bai's heart was in a much more tragic state of mind compared to that of a diaosi. It had to be known that in the hearts of all the descendants of the Celestial Sect of Patriarchs, the Sixth Ancestral Master had been an omnipotent person. He had even set up techniques such as reversing the Five Elements Formations and setting up the Eight Lock Dragon Diagram, which was a heaven-defying technique.
However, how could such a legendary figure be tricked to death in such a shabby cave? This was simply a joke!
"Youngest junior brother …" You... Tell me, all of this is not true! " Zhang Sanmeng no longer had his usual flamboyant and boastful demeanor, staggering back as he tightly held onto Lin Bai's arm. His voice was a little choked up, and even his words had a hint of sobbing.
At this moment, Lin Bai's face was full of worry. Tears welled up in his eyes and his lips moved, but he could not even utter a single complete sentence.
He did not dare to imagine, that after pursuing so many sixth generation ancestors for China, he would actually die here. When he raised his head, there was no sunlight, no life. He did not hear the sound of the well, only loneliness. He could only accompany the dried up bones and rotten meat, ultimately dying in the solitude.
Seeing the sorrowful looks on the faces of his fellow brothers, Chen Baian sighed softly. He was very clear that the Celestial Sect was a very united sect. When the two brothers learned that their ancestor died tragically here, they naturally felt both rage and grief. How could they have the leisure to think about other matters?
"Yao Guangxiao, I never thought that this Yao Guangxiao would have such a sinister plan!" Chen Baian sighed softly, feeling a little bitter in his heart. Yao Guangxiao was a well-known figure in the history of China's Qimen Family. However, because he was of the same generation as Liu Bowen, his glory was overshadowed by Liu Bowen and was not known by his descendants.
Yao Guangxiao was a famous politician at the end of Ming Dynasty and also a high monk. He was Zhu Di's advisor at the time of the Yan King and also the most important strategist in the battle of appeasement. He was also known as the 'Black Cloaked Prime Minister' in the future. Moreover, compared to his real name, perhaps even more people knew of his magical name.
He was born in a chaotic era, had read a lot of poetry, and after he turned seventeen, he became a scholar. He was proficient in the three schools of Confucianism, Taoism, and Shi. However, although this person was a monk, he was extremely keen on the art of political games. Furthermore, his methods were extremely ruthless.
Yuan Wu, who was in the same era as him, observed his appearance and made such a comment. "What kind of monk is he?" The triangle eyes, like a sick tiger, the nature must love to kill. "It was said that Yuan Wu's skill was the best in all of history, and the rumors said that he would burn two torches in the middle of the night to look at the color of a person's figure, and then with that person's date of birth, there was no mistake!
If it was written here that someone else had cheated on him, perhaps Chen Baian would have some doubts. However, according to his understanding of Yao Guangxiao and his people, it was not strange that Liu Bowen would fall into his hands. This person was sinister and meticulous. In the past, he had been on good terms with Uncle Liu, but now, he had suddenly made a move. Uncle Liu was definitely unable to guard against it, and would definitely fall into his trap.
"The way of the world has long changed. Grief is useless. Yao Guangxiao had also passed away, there was nothing he could do even if he wanted to take revenge. I will let them get to know each other's grudges in the underworld. You two seniors, clean up this pile of bones and after finding the way out, bury it in the tomb of the ancestor of your Celestial Sect. This will fulfill his wish. " Chen Baian patted Lin Bai and Zhang Sanmeng on the back gently as he consoled them.
Lin Bai responded with silence and slowly walked to the pile of bones. He slowly kneeled down, heavily kowtowed a few times, and said while choked with sobs, "The Heaven Faction's unfilial younger generation, I didn't know that the ancestor was trapped here and had come late to rescue them! "On the day that I exit the cave, I shall welcome the ancestor back to Mao Mountain and bury him, so that you won't feel lonely underground."
After kowtowing, Lin Bai reached out his hand to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes and looked into the darkness of the depths of the cave. There were only two paths in front of them. One was to keep walking forward and see what was here so they could find a way out. The other was to stay here and die, leaving behind a few bones in the cave. What was he going to do now? What was he going to do next?
Along the way, Zhang SanKuang and Lin Bai still could not react to the situation, and the atmosphere was unusually gloomy. Furthermore, the ground in front of them was filled with black mud, which was covered with debris of unknown origin. Furthermore, in the thick mud, there would be a few pale white skulls from time to time, exposing pale white foreheads and empty eye holes, seemingly ridiculing them.
Staring at the scene before them, the crowd was speechless. Looking at the situation in front of them, they felt like they had never been this depressed before. If they couldn't find the way out, they would end up like the seniors in the cave, turning into a pile of bones.
Within the quiet cave, the sound of dripping water could be heard from time to time before falling into the mud.
The mud path was extremely long, and the hearts of Lin Bai and the rest were hanging by their throats. They did not know when they would be able to land steadily on the ground.
