Traveling through time, all of them are the protagonist's public enemies

Chapter 214 Thunder God Zhenwu
Meng Qi recalled the previous attacks of the living dead and the changes of "Five Thunders from Heaven". Driven by his Qi, his momentum and confidence rose, and he chopped the tip of the spear with a sharp knife!

Use the recoil force to force back the living dead!
"Brother Yang, is this living dead helping me practice my sword skills?"

Meng Qi guessed.

"That's how it should be."

Yang Chen smiled and nodded.

Jiang Zhiwei and others also agreed.

The living dead still have some intelligence left, and are under limited control of the "evil ghosts". They may still want to use the successor of a similar Thunder Blade technique to break free from their restraints, but it is difficult for Meng Qi to do so with his current level of cultivation.

"The living dead might remind us how!"

Meng Qi entered the next corridor!
The undead attacked again with their spears.

This attack was neither fast nor slow, but it was heavy!

Another variation of "Five Thunders from Heaven" emerged in Meng Qi's mind, and he unleashed the corresponding sword moves to dissolve the attack!
"The Five Thunders of Heaven, don't they refer to the five exquisite principles of fast, slow, heavy, and empty?"

After observing the scene, Jiang Zhiwei gained some understanding of "Five Thunders from Heaven" and guessed that it might contain five essential meanings.

"As expected of the Thunder Blade Mad Monk."

Ruan Yushu teased Meng Qi about his nickname. Although Meng Qi was "angry and embarrassed", he still cheered up and continued to move forward.

"We've arrived at the main tomb!"

Yang Chen led a few people to the main tomb chamber and saw many illusions outside. Ruan Yushu analyzed that they were used to suppress them.

Meng Qi and others guessed that no matter which road they came in from, they would pass through two of the nine levels.

"I'll clear the way."

Meng Qi was the first to step into the illusion.

The living dead attacked with all their strength again.

At the same time, there were thirteen or fourteen other zombies attacking from all directions, besieging the five people, and the situation was dangerous.

"Finally, there's a chance to take action!"

Jiang Zhi smiled and drew her sword to block the electric spear!
Ruan Yushu sprayed blood and essence on the piano while playing.

Qi Zhengyan drew his sword and froze a zombie outside.

Meng Qi seized the opportunity and inspired the "green lamp in front of the Buddha".

The green lamps glowed brightly, and the chanting of Zen music caused the bodies of the living dead who were half a step away from the scene to rot and their souls to dissipate.

The three zombies outside also screamed and retreated. The zombie holding a spear threw out something and left the range of the green lamp.

Only Yang Chen saw:

In the darkness and chaos, a human face wearing a flat crown appeared and drilled down into the main tomb chamber in pain.

"Jade pendant?!"

Meng Qi picked up the green jade pendant thrown by the zombie with a spear, on which was engraved "Jushen Manor... Huangfu Tao..."

No one knows its origin.

"This may be Huangfu Tao asking you to inform his family and help him get rid of his guilt. This is both a mission and an opportunity."

Jiang Zhiwei speculated.

"If I have the chance, I will send the jade pendant to Jushen Manor."

Meng Qi nodded.

"Do you want to enter the main tomb?"

Everyone subconsciously looked at Yang Chen.

"Don't keep looking at me, think for yourself!"

Yang Chen smiled and shook his head.

His initial character was clearly a cold and aloof swordsman who was ruthless and taciturn, so how did he suddenly become the team's intelligent brain?
Jiang Zhiwei suggested:

"I think we should go in. We can find clues and leave as quickly as possible while the evil ghosts and the living dead outside are still affected by the green lamp in front of the Buddha."

Qi Zhengyan and Ruan Yushu agreed, and Meng Qi also agreed, so everyone prepared to enter the main tomb chamber.

Boom!
Meng Qi and others opened the stone door of the main tomb chamber and saw nine dragons transformed from copper spirits surrounding a black coffin. In front of the coffin stood an afterimage transformed from the aura of the Thunder God!

My Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin!
Yang Chen laughed in silence, feeling quite cordial.

"Thor's afterimage?!"

Meng Qi and the others were surprised at first when they saw this, but after being reminded by Jiang Zhiwei, they realized that the afterimage was illusory.

Meng Qi speculated, "Thunder God might have come here while searching for the whereabouts of Zhenwu Emperor after his disappearance."

Qi Zhengyan asked doubtfully:
"Why did the Thunder God allow his aura to leak out and remain?"

Ruan Yushu guessed:

"It may be due to the excitement of the Thunder God."

When Meng Qi approached the afterimage, it faded and disappeared, leaving only a bottomless lightning mark on the wall.

Jiang Zhiwei speculated, "Huangfu Tao might have realized the 'Thunderous Law' here."

Ruan Yushu noticed that the Yuan Bronze Dragon Spirit was lifeless, and the others did not dare to touch it for fear of disrupting the arrangement. Furthermore, there were scrolls on the tomb walls depicting the life of Zhenwu Emperor, but they ignored them for the time being.

Instead, he turned his gaze to the black coffin.

"There are words on the coffin!"

Meng Qi discovered seal characters on the coffin lid: "Cut off any trace of evil thoughts and die in vain...bury your entire life here."

Several people speculated that the "evil ghost" might be a trace of evil thought from the Great Emperor Zhenwu, and wondered why the evil thought had not died.

Everyone speculated: "The coffin might contain the reincarnation of the Great Emperor Zhenwu. The clue may be in it."

Meng Qi, Yang Chen, and Jiang Zhiwei suggested:

"Open the coffin and take a look."

Ruan Yushu did not comment.

Qi Zhengyan sighed helplessly, but did not object.

Yang Chen and Meng Qi worked together to push open the coffin and found that it was empty, with no body from this life.

"If there had been a previous life, there should have been traces inside the coffin, but there aren't any now. The Great Emperor Zhenwu might have passed away suddenly when he was about to sit in meditation and passed away, and didn't enter the coffin."

"It leads to the evil thoughts not being replaced by death."

Jiang Zhiwei guessed this.

No wonder it’s called Zhenwu’s Tomb…

"No, there are traces of something pressing on the bottom of the coffin. It might have been taken away by the Great Emperor Zhenwu or obtained by someone else."

Meng Qi said in surprise.

At this time, the tomb door was closed.

The voice of the Lord of the Six Paths of Reincarnation sounded:
"The second step of the mystery of Zhenwu's fall has begun:
Looking for the Xuanwu Pei."

The second step of the mission has begun?

After Meng Qi and others opened the coffin of Emperor Zhenwu, the tomb door closed and they felt abnormal pressure.

Did the opening of the coffin free the "evil spirits" from their suppression or trigger the seal of the tomb? They chose to return early.

"Um?!"

"Where's Senior Brother Yang?"

After returning to the Six Paths of Reincarnation, Meng Qi, Jiang Zhiwei and others discovered that Yang Chen had disappeared.

During the return process, they were also possessed by the aura of "evil ghosts", but fortunately the Lord of the Six Paths of Reincarnation removed the aura of evil ghosts.

The Lord of the Six Paths of Reincarnation asked:

"The Zhenwu Tomb mission ended early. Should I leave or spend the remaining time cultivating the Samsara Talisman?"

Everyone chose to practice.

One is to wait for Yang Chen, and the other is to cherish the time for cultivation.

"Let's analyze the mission and the next clue..."

Everyone discussed and reviewed the mission.

They all thought that what Yang Chen said was indeed correct. Without using the "Heaven-Changing and Earth-Strike Technique", the mission went very smoothly.

This mission basically conforms to the rule that the first step of a serial mission is relatively simple, low-risk, and low-reward.

"But what about the next mission?"

Meng Qi was completely confused about the next task of finding the Xuanwu Pendant and had no clue at all.

Jiang Zhiwei speculated:

"The Xuanwu pendant must have been taken out of the suspected Zhenwu tomb. Because the living dead are in a state of 'physical death' within the mausoleum, they are unable to cultivate and grow normally. They must have escaped by chance, cultivated to the outer world, and then returned to the mausoleum due to the possession of an evil spirit."

Makes sense...

Meng Qi said, "It's also possible that one of the living dead brought out the Black Tortoise Pendant. I think we should start with Huangfu Tao, who has mastered the true meaning of the Thunder Mark, and first consider Jushen Manor in the Jiuxiang World."

Jiang Zhiwei also put forward her own guess:
"If the living dead didn't take the Xuanwu pendant."

"Consider the origin of that black fur."

Meng Qi nodded.

However, this black fur was obtained by chance when he killed horse bandits in the Western Regions, and it is very difficult to find its origin!

Meng Qi glanced around and frowned:
"Why hasn't Senior Brother Yang come out yet?"

Qi Zhengyan also looked confused.

Ruan Yushu ate the dried dragon fish and shook his head.

Jiang Zhiwei frowned, also feeling a little worried.

Although Yang Chen is strong, the Zhenwu Tomb involves the mythical and legendary ancient figure Zhenwu Emperor!

Anything can happen!
