Tomb raiding: Carrying a coffin during a funeral procession, rewarded with the Dragon Elephant Prajn

Wu Xie shook his head, got up, walked to the pool, and washed his face.

The icy pool water instantly sobered him up considerably.

"Where's my older brother?"

He returned to the campfire, but when he looked around, he could not see Li Changsheng.

Ma Liang pointed to the pool not far away and explained, "They went into the water."

Before he could finish speaking, Wu Xie heard a splashing sound, followed by a large number of bubbles rising from the center of the pool.

A short while later, Li Changsheng emerged from the pool.

Li Changsheng went into the water just now and saw another transport plane lying at the bottom of the pool.

Two planes crashed inside Zhelong Mountain; both were American transport planes from the Hump airlift route during World War II.

However, one plane crashed into an ancient tree on the outskirts, while the other transport plane crashed right into the pool in the Water Dragon Pool.

Two transport planes, one outside and one inside, disrupted the feng shui formation set up by the King of Xian, allowing them to enter. Otherwise, the endless fog and poisonous miasma alone would have stopped everyone in their tracks.

Li Changsheng went down just now to move the transport plane aside so that it could be used to enter the tomb later.

He walked ashore from the pool, and Wu Xie, being very perceptive, immediately pulled a dry towel from the tent and handed it to him.

"Big brother, here you go."

Li Changsheng glanced at the towel Wu Xie offered and waved it away.

"Need not."

After saying this, he immediately mobilized the Dragon Elephant Prajna internal energy within his body, and white steam instantly rose around his body. In just over ten seconds, his clothes, which had been soaked through, were dry again.

You should know that he possesses the full level of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill, which would make him almost a top master in the ordinary martial arts world.

Drying clothes is a piece of cake.

But Li Changsheng was unaware that his casual display of skill left Wu Xie and Ma Liang completely dumbfounded.

Both of them knew that although Li Changsheng claimed he was not a Taoist priest, he knew Taoist magic and the spell that made his body emit golden light. Wu Xie and Ma Liang had discussed this privately and agreed that the spell that made Li Changsheng's body emit golden light was the Golden Light Spell, one of the three legendary Taoist divine spells.

Now, the two of them were even more eager to become Li Changsheng's disciples.

"Want to become an apprentice?"

Upon hearing the words "become an apprentice," Wu Xie and Ma Liang immediately sat up straight and nodded with utmost seriousness.

Wu Xie added, "Big brother, if we can't learn profound Taoist magic, we can learn these simple tricks for drying clothes. We're not picky."

Li Changsheng chuckled softly and shook his head, saying, "You've really gone for it, but I'm not using magic, I'm using martial arts."

"Martial arts? Is it the kind in novels where you slap a palm and a few dragons appear?" Ma Liang's face was full of surprise, and he couldn't help but widen his eyes.

He's even less picky than Wu Xie; if he can't learn magic, he can still learn martial arts.

Li Changsheng listened to his words and pondered them carefully.

Neither Xiao Feng nor Guo Jing in martial arts novels could summon dragons with a single slap. The Hong Kong TV dramas from a few years ago were simply exaggerated portrayals.

He possesses the full power of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill. If he could learn the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms, it wouldn't be difficult for him to slap out several dragons.

Even now, he can use his abilities to condense a three-foot-long wall of energy, or to gather his inner force to form a phantom image of a dragon and an elephant.

Thinking of this, Li Changsheng casually said, "You can't learn martial arts either!"

Why?

"My martial art doesn't depend on aptitude, but it does depend on lifespan. An ordinary person would probably not even get the basics down in a hundred years, and it would take seven or eight hundred years to reach the mastery level."

According to the original description of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill, an ordinary person can master the first few levels in ten years or so. However, the key point is that the first few levels of skill have little effect and can only increase strength slightly!

However, when ordinary people go to the gym, their strength increases faster and in less time.

Moreover, the time required for each subsequent level of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill doubles, and it is estimated that it would take at least a hundred years for an ordinary person to reach the level where they can generate internal energy.

After hearing Li Changsheng's words, Ma Liang and Wu Xie were immediately filled with disappointment.

Fortunately, neither of them was too attached to it and they quickly let go of their obsession with martial arts.

On the other side, Professor Sun and his daughter also got up, and Sun Xiaomei cautiously came over to ask if it was okay to go into the water.

Li Changsheng quickly finished the roasted pheasant in his hand, then nodded.

"Get ready to go into the water."

He had told Wu Xie and the others about the tomb of King Xian last night, and they all knew that the real main tomb of King Xian was below the pool. Therefore, they were already prepared for going into the water today.

Before long, Wu Xie and his companions arrived at the pool.

The pool was a deep, dark green, its bottom unseen, with only a huge shadow faintly visible beneath.

The group entered the water one after another. Wu Xie dived to the bottom and realized that the shadow they had seen above was actually a crashed military transport plane.

However, the transport plane was moved slightly, revealing a locked water inlet underneath.

Above the water eye is a bronze horse.

The bronze horse is surrounded by long strips of bluestone, which cover the water hole layer upon layer.

Li Changsheng swam ahead, diving directly to the water's edge. Then, single-handedly, he grabbed the bronze horse's legs with both hands and pulled it up.

This bronze horse is nearly the size of a real horse and weighs more than half a ton. With the bluestone covering it, ordinary people cannot move it even an inch.

But with a little effort, Li Changsheng actually managed to pull the bronze horse out.

The moment the bronze horse was pulled out, countless drops of water rushed into the water eye.

The bottom of the pool became murky, obstructing the view, and there were whirlpools and undercurrents formed by the water's eye.

However, Li Changsheng's legs seemed to be rooted to the spot, remaining motionless in front of the water eye.

When Sun Xiaomei was swept into the whirlpool, he simply pulled her gently to steady her.

The whirlpool lasted for more than ten seconds before gradually dissipating.

At this moment, Li Changsheng took the lead and dived into the water eye.

Wu Xie, Ma Liang, and Professor Sun and his daughter quickly followed!

Below this water eye is a deep well. Initially, it went downwards, descending more than ten meters before turning eastwards and extending upwards, forming a hook shape.

The group swam along the well wall for less than two minutes before finally surfacing.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

Wu Xie and Ma Liang were panting heavily, and it took them a while to catch their breath.

On the contrary, Sun Xiaomei and Professor Sun are very good at diving; even after diving for five minutes, their breathing remains steady.

Seeing the curious looks from Ma Liang and Wu Xie, Sun Xiaomei explained, "I've been able to swim since I was little; I used to be on the school swimming team."

Wu Xie suddenly realized and nodded.

Only then did everyone have time to pay attention to their surroundings.

Before us was a tomb path paved with bluestone, stretching upwards into the distance.

Wu Xie tried hard to recall the layout of the pool, and said with slight surprise, "Based on the route we took diving just now, this tomb passage is almost inside Zhelong Mountain!"
