After returning to the village, start chasing the mountain from binding Emei

Chapter 908 After Yang Ye, the Mountain Lord, the Origin of the Black Jade Fragment!

"Spiritual blood?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang's eyes flickered slightly.

Not impossible.

There's still more than half a vat of spiritual blood in the Mountain Lord's Seal; it's worth a try.

Just as Chen Yang was about to try, the radar detected a large group of people entering the village.

They immediately abandoned the idea.

I put away the scroll and token, and will study them later when I have time.

……

The middle courtyard, the study.

Yang Wenhui was dressed in a long robe, exuding his usual refined and scholarly air.

He looked at Chen Yang with a smile, "You rascal, you're a rare guest indeed. What made you think of coming to see this old geezer?"

Chen Yang sat on a grand chair next to him. "I was just passing by and had some business to attend to. It wouldn't be right not to stop by and acknowledge the place."

Yang Wenhui stroked his beard and laughed heartily, "I went to Chengdu a while ago for a class reunion. I just met your grandfather there. That old rascal Chen Jingzhi was quite proud of you..."

Chen Yang was both amused and exasperated. "You guys have a class reunion?"

"You young people are allowed to have class reunions, but we old folks can't?"

Yang Wenhui shook his head. "The friendships we formed back then were much deeper than those of your generation. Sigh, half a century has passed in the blink of an eye. Every gathering is one less, and the number of people is dwindling..."

Chatting with these old men, you inevitably hear them reminiscing about those turbulent years.

"Your grandfather's physique is almost at the fifth rank. He said you helped him improve it. Is that true?" Yang Wenhui asked.

Chen Yang smiled.

He took out a gift box from behind him and placed it on Yang Wenhui's desk.

Yang Wenhui looked at him in surprise.

Chen Yang said, "I came in a hurry and didn't bring any gifts, just a small token of my appreciation. I hope you won't mind, Elder Yang..."

"You little rascal, you came all this way, but why did you bring a gift? Do you treat me like an outsider?"

Yang Wenhui looked at a health product gift box on the table, unsure of what to say.

I casually took the box down and placed it under the desk.

Since the gift has already been given, and it's a small gift but carries great sentiment, there's no reason for him not to accept it.

"Aren't you going to ask what's in the box?"

Chen Yang felt it was necessary to remind him.

"what?"

Yang Wenhui was slightly taken aback. What could it be but a box of health supplements?
Chen Yang said, "There are some body-tempering pills that I refined myself inside. You can use them to temper your descendants' bodies. You can decide how to distribute them. Also, there is a small bottle of Three Corpse Divine Water..."

"What?"

Yang Wenhui was visibly startled and quickly picked up the box again. Although it was impolite, he didn't care about politeness and opened the box on the spot.

Chen Yang said, "There's not much Three Corpse Divine Water, only about twenty or thirty drops. A person can only use a maximum of ten drops; using more will be ineffective. Ten drops can raise one's physical and mental strength by ten grades..."

"Judging from your current cultivation level, your spiritual power and physique are probably around the twentieth grade, which is the mid-stage of the Spirit Realm. Try to get ten drops of the Three Corpse Divine Water to help you break through to the thirtieth grade, which is the late stage of the Spirit Realm. You're still a bit far from the Creation Realm. We'll think of another way later..."

"However, there is one thing to note: this Three Corpse Divine Water must not be exposed to light. When taking it, pay attention to the environment."

……

"Good lad, that's a good friend."

Upon hearing this, Yang Wenhui nodded repeatedly, clutching the small, dark porcelain bottle in his hand, extremely excited.

He certainly knew about the Three Corpse Divine Water.

When his elder brother Yang Wenguang was nearing the end of his lifespan and had no hope of breaking through to the Creation Realm, it was the Gu God Sect that sent him the Three Corpse Divine Water to help Yang Wenguang reach a higher level.

Yang Wenhui is now over seventy years old, but he is only at the mid-stage of the Spirit Realm. He has only twenty or thirty years left to live. Without a special opportunity, he probably has little hope of breaking through to the Creation Realm in his lifetime.

But now, opportunity has come knocking on our door.

With the Three Corpse Divine Water brought by Chen Yang, his cultivation level can directly advance to the tenth rank and enter the late stage of the Spirit Realm. Even if there are no other opportunities, he will still have the chance to challenge the Creation Realm in his lifetime.

To Chen Yang, these things were just scraps that slipped through his fingernails, but to Yang Wenhui, they were an absolute gift.

"Grandpa, is it really that little bit of stuff that makes you so excited? Your Yang family is one of the Eight Families, and it's said to be the most mysterious of the Eight Families. You should have some resources, right?" Chen Yang asked.

Upon hearing this, Yang Wenhui couldn't help but smile bitterly. "Foundation? How can past glory be considered glory? Our Yang family ancestors were indeed wealthy, but that's all in the past. Now, each generation is worse than the last. If it weren't for my eldest brother supporting us, where would our Yang family have a place to stand in the Panshan Eight Veins?"

"I'm not afraid to say something that might sound ridiculous, but our Yang family only maintains its image through so-called mystery. Outsiders think our Yang family is mysterious, but in reality, it's just like that. Apart from my eldest brother, who has already broken through to the Creation Realm, there are only three people in the clan, including myself..."

……

Such a lineup is indeed a bit meager, but the Yang family are body cultivators, and some of them at the third or fourth rank can even exchange blows with those in the Spirit Realm, so we can't judge a book by its cover.

Among the eight lineages, there are not many who can reach the Creation Realm. The Yang family is one of them, so they are not as bad as Yang Wenhui said.

"Grandpa, I wonder what important figures your Yang family ancestors were?"

That’s all I have to say.

Chen Yang was rather curious about the Yang family's ancestors.

This curiosity stemmed from the being in the ancient cultivator's cave in Jinjia Mountain.

What a coincidence that the Yang family's Crimson Sky Sword could remove the sword platform in the cave.

What a coincidence, Yang Wanyue's surname is Yang, and the Yang family also has the surname Yang.

What a coincidence that Longtai Mountain, where the Yang family lives, is so close to Jinjia Mountain.

There were too many coincidences, which made Chen Yang wonder if the Yang family's Yang was the same Yang as Yang Wanyue, and if the Yang family of Longtai Mountain were descendants of Yang Wanyue.

Yang Wenhui smiled and said, "You might not believe it if I told you, and you might think I'm bragging, but our Yang family genealogy records that six hundred years ago, our ancestor was named Yang Ye..."

"Oh?"

Chen Yang raised an eyebrow. Yang Ye?
He was very familiar with that name.

Yang Wenhui continued, "Our ancestor was no ordinary person. It is said that he once served as a mountain lord, a being at the Celestial Realm. Unfortunately, he still perished. To avoid disaster, his descendants hid in the deep forests of Longtai Mountain and settled here..."

A hint of regret crossed his face. Although he didn't know how much of it was true, it was indeed recorded in his family's genealogy. His ancestors wouldn't have written such things carelessly when recording the genealogy.

Of course, we can't rule out the possibility of exaggeration. After all, when compiling their family genealogies, many people try to associate their family with historically significant figures to highlight their noble lineage.

That being said, anyone who has survived to this day must have had some remarkable ancestors. Whose ancestors weren't once wealthy?
The ancestor of the Yang family was actually Yang Ye, the last mountain lord of Kunlun Mountain in the Western Frontier.

Although Chen Yang had already guessed, he was still somewhat surprised after hearing Yang Wenhui say all this.

According to the information he knew, Yang Ye was once the mountain lord of Kunlun Mountain, but he did not reign for many years and died due to the turmoil of the three sects of the Secret Sect. Since then, Kunlun Mountain has never had a mountain lord.

Yang Ye once claimed to be a descendant of Yang Wanyue.

So, everything makes sense now.

The Yang family does indeed have an inextricable connection with the ancient cultivator in the cave of Jinjia Mountain.

The reason why the Crimson Cloud Sword is a family heirloom is probably because it was passed down from Yang Ye.

Chen Yang chatted with Yang Wenhui for a while, mostly asking about the Yang family's ancestors.

However, Yang Wenhui seemed to only know Yang Ye and was unaware of Yang Wanyue's existence.

Their Yang family genealogy only goes back to their ancestor Yang Ye, who lived six hundred years ago.

“It’s so inconvenient to do anything in this deep mountain forest, old man. Times have changed. Haven’t you ever thought about moving out?” Chen Yang asked.

Yang Wenhui waved his hand, "Our ancestors have been here for generations, we're used to it, there's no such thing as inconvenience. Besides, there are ancestral precepts that have kept us here for generations. We, as their descendants, can't possibly disown our ancestors..."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang's eyes flickered slightly. "Ancestral precepts? Your family's ancestral precepts forbid descendants from leaving Longtai Mountain?"

Yang Wenhui nodded.

"why?"

Chen Yang was very puzzled. As the saying goes, a tree dies when it is moved, but a person lives. Who can guarantee that their descendants will not migrate? What if they encounter something that forces them to migrate? Wouldn't this so-called ancestral teaching be deadly?

"grandfather……"

Just as Yang Wenhui was about to say something, a childish voice came from outside, "Grandpa, lunch is ready."

"Let's go, have some food and then we can talk."

Yang Wenhui carefully placed the gift box from Chen Yang under the table before patting Chen Yang on the shoulder and leading him out of the study.

A little boy, about six or seven years old, stood outside the study. He was chubby and had a shrewd look on his face.

Yang Wenhui's grandson, named Yang Tao, nicknamed Erbao, is the second child of Yang Wenhui's son, Yang Qingshusheng, and the younger brother of Yang Bo.

Yang Wenhui rubbed Yang Tao's head and picked him up. He adored his grandson.

"You're covered in mud, where have you been playing again?" Yang Wenhui asked.

"Grandpa, Xiaohua and I went treasure hunting in the back mountain. Look, here's the treasure I found!" The six-year-old was at the age of losing his baby teeth, and when he opened his mouth, his two front teeth were missing, which looked somewhat comical.

Yang Tao held two stones in his hand and waved them in front of Yang Wenhui as if to show off.

"You brat, running off to the back mountain again. Your dad beat you last time, and you've already forgiven him, haven't you?" Yang Wenhui blew his beard and glared at him.

At this moment, Chen Yang's gaze fell on the stone in Yang Tao's hand.

"Little friend, can you let me see the stone in your hand?"

He looked like he was trying to trick a child into giving him candy.

"all right."

Yang Tao wasn't stingy; he handed one of the stones in his hand to Chen Yang.

Chen Yang took the stone, but his brows immediately furrowed.

This is an irregularly shaped piece of black jade, only half the size of a palm, and looks like a piece of broken black glass.

There are words on it.

A language that Chen Yang both knew and found unfamiliar.

It was familiar because it was the kind of tadpole-like Daoist pattern he had seen many times.

It was unfamiliar to him because he didn't recognize the script.

There are only three words on this stone.

After communicating with Shi Ling, I learned that these three characters should be translated as "Night God Light".

Heavenly light and earthly light, divine light day and night, gods and Buddhas arrive of their own accord, and evil spirits vanish.

This is the content of the Vajra Mantra.

Chen Yang's heart tightened. The material of the black jade in front of him was exactly the same as the fragment of black jade in his hand, and it also had the same Daoist patterns and Vajra Divine Mantra. It must have come from the same source.

How did it end up here, in the hands of a junior member of the Yang family?

Chen Yang looked at Yang Tao and asked, "Little friend, where did you get this stone from?"

"I found this stone in the back hill today, brother. Is it a treasure?"

Yang Tao immediately became interested, his eyes sparkling with dazzling light.

Back mountain?

The back mountain of Longtai Mountain?

Chen Yang's heart skipped a beat. How could this thing appear on the back mountain of Longtai Mountain?

He stood there, completely stunned.

Their trip to Jinjia Mountain was indeed fruitful, but they did not find the origin of the black jade fragment.

Therefore, Chen Yang once suspected that there were mysterious areas on Jinjia Mountain that they had not yet explored, but now it seems that his guess was wrong.

The black jade fragments may not have originated from Jinjia Mountain, but rather from Longtai Mountain, which is dozens of miles away.

Chen Yang's piece of black jade was cut out of the belly of that big fish.

Huang Can said that the big fish communicated with him before it died, and that it came from Jinjiashan.

Therefore, Chen Yang naturally assumed that the black jade fragments cut out of the big fish's belly must also have come from Jinjia Mountain.

But now that I think about it again, maybe I was wrong from the beginning.

It's true that the big fish comes from Jinjia Mountain, but who says that what's inside the fish's belly also comes from Jinjia Mountain?
Longtai Mountain is not far from Jinjia Mountain. Moreover, when he first arrived, he saw a river at the foot of the mountain. If nothing unexpected happened, this river should also be one of the sources that flow into the Qingyi River.

One can imagine that the fragment of black jade came from Longtai Mountain. A heavy rain washed it down the mountain, into the river, and into the Qingyi River, where it was swallowed by a large fish that also came down from Jinjia Mountain.

This is entirely possible.

Moreover, the possibility is very high.

Chen Yang stood there, stunned, as if he had discovered something extraordinary.

Seeing his unusual expression, Yang Wenhui asked, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with this stone?"

Chen Yang came to his senses and said, "There's a problem, a big problem."

Yang Wenhui's eyes flickered slightly, and he was about to ask more questions when he saw Chen Yang say to Yang Tao, "Little friend, can you take me to the place where you found this kind of stone?"

"No, that's our secret base." Yang Tao shook his head vigorously upon hearing this.

A black line appeared on Chen Yang's forehead.

"You brat, are you itching for a beating again?" Yang Wenhui tugged at Yang Tao's ear. "Don't be rude."

Yang Tao was only six or seven years old, and he burst into tears.

Chen Yang was both amused and exasperated.

He really is a darling grandson; you can't touch him.

His son, Yang Qingshu, came over upon hearing the noise and took the child away.

A moment later, even louder cries came from the front yard.

Yang Wenhui felt heartbroken, but he was even more curious about what Chen Yang wanted to say.

Chen Yang reached into his pocket, took out a piece of black jade, and handed it to Yang Wenhui.

"This……"

With Yang Wenhui's keen eye, it was not difficult to see that the two pieces of black jade were made of the same material, and although the writing on them was illegible, it was clear that they were written in the same handwriting.

On the veranda, Yang Wenhui looked at Chen Yang with a puzzled expression.

Chen Yang didn't hide anything and gave Yang Wenhui a brief explanation of the situation.

After listening, Yang Wenhui remained silent for a long time.

Chen Yang said, "The Vajra Mantra is a secret technique of the Vajra Temple. I only parted ways with Monk Langse and the others this morning. Monk Langse told me that this mantra is used to suppress powerful demons and monsters. It is engraved on black jade and is already an extremely high-level seal..."

After listening for a while, Yang Wenhui finally came to his senses. "You mean, what kind of great demon or monster is being suppressed in the back mountain of our Longtai Mountain?"

"It's possible."

Chen Yang nodded slightly, "Look at this fragment of black jade, the break is still very fresh, it must have been damaged recently..."

Upon hearing this, Yang Wenhui looked at the fragment of black jade in his hand, and his expression immediately changed.

Banning, great demons and monsters?
Yang Wenhui understood the weight of those words, but quickly calmed down. "Let's have lunch first. After lunch, I'll go find my older brother. Then, I'll take Erbao with me and we'll go check out the back mountain..."

"Ah."

Chen Yang nodded slightly.

The ban has been broken for quite some time now, so there's no need to rush it.

……

Today is the Yang family's ancestral worship day. Hundreds of people in the village are eating together from a large pot. Dozens of tables are set up outside the clan house in the middle of the village.

The scene was quite large, and the atmosphere was very lively.

Every year on this day, the Yang family does the same thing: they go up the mountain together to worship their ancestors, then return to set up a feast and share the offerings. It is a tradition.

After the meal, Yang Wenhui took Chen Yang to see Yang Wenguang and explained the whole story.

Yang Wenguang had just broken through to the Creation Realm not long ago and had already passed through the period of weakness. After the breakthrough, his lifespan was extended, and he no longer had any signs of old age. He even looked younger than Yang Wenhui.

Upon learning what had happened, Yang Wenguang clearly took it very seriously.

Yang Tao was immediately called over.

Yang Tao, a six or seven-year-old child, could usually laugh and play around without any restraint in front of Yang Wenhui, but he still held Yang Wenguang in great awe.

Yang Wenguang asked him a casual question, and he confessed everything.

Today, while paying respects to their ancestors at the Yang family ancestral graves on the back hill, Yang Tao and several playful children ran into the depths of the cemetery to play. According to Yang Tao, the jade was found in a cave deep within the cemetery.

Both old men were furious. These kids were really out of control, daring to run around in the ancestral graveyard and even set up some kind of secret base.

At this moment, finding out the situation is the most important thing, so the two old men did not punish Yang Tao anymore. After all, if Yang Tao hadn't been so playful, he wouldn't have discovered the existence of the black jade.

……

At that moment, Yang Wenguang, Yang Wenhui, and Chen Yang left the village together and went to the back mountain.

"Xiao Yang, do you think these great demons and monsters really exist? How powerful would they be?"

Yang Wenhui brought Yang Tao along to his secret base to identify the scene, but he was somewhat unsure of himself.

If there really is some powerful demon or monster that has been sealed away, can they handle it with just a few of them?

"I don't know, but let's prepare for the worst."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang shook his head. Anything that could be sealed with the Vajra Divine Mantra, even Lang Se would say such a thing, must be extraordinary.
