The Ancient Tomb of Gu Xiu

  It was just a glance from the Black Spotted Chicken Crowned Snake, and Lin Yiyi knew that even if she played all her cards, she might not be its match. She immediately turned around and escaped.

  "What sect are you cultivators from, don't you know the rules?" Lin Yiyi controlled her flying sword to fly quickly, but she turned around and scolded the crowd, of course, she didn't mean to target Guan Yu, it was entirely a question for the others.

  Since ancient times, there has been a taboo about entering the Immortal Island, which is not to disturb any living creatures. Any cultivator who has practiced for a certain number of years knows this rule.

  Most of the monks who broke the rules are already dead!

  "We knew, but at that time this black-spotted chicken crown python disguised itself as a young snake, and we were all deceived." The male cultivator of the Harmony Gate said with shame.

  They all know this rule, but just like school rules, students all know they are not allowed to skip class, yet there will still be students who skip class.

  But the consequences of violating taboos are infinitely more severe than those of violating school rules!

  "Now is not the time to pursue responsibility, let's think about how to get out of this situation!"

  "I once heard a senior say that there's a place where even the island creatures don't dare to approach. If you provoke the island creatures and have nowhere to escape, you can try going there!" Lin Yiyi glanced at Guan Yu and continued.

  "Then let's hurry up and lead the way," Guan Yu said immediately. "I can feel the Black Spot Chicken Crowned Snake speeding up!"

  The black-spotted chicken crown snake is indeed getting closer and closer to everyone, its speed surpassing that of the crowd. However, when it discovers that everyone has changed direction, a hint of cunning suddenly appears in its eyes, and it slows down its speed, but continues to chase after them, just like a sheepdog driving a flock of sheep.

  Guan Yu and others followed Lin Yiyi, constantly shuttling through the forest. About twelve minutes later, two huge rocky peaks appeared in front of everyone.

  These two mountain peaks are very similar, just like the pillars of a gate. Guan Yu and others looked towards the mountain peak, but it was actually a vast expanse of white fog.

  "Are we going inside?" The male cultivator of the Harmony Gate asked with a pale face, and just looking at this place made him feel a chill run down his spine.

  "This is the only way to get rid of the black-spotted cobra, if you don't go in, you'll definitely die, but if you do go in, there's still a glimmer of hope, choose for yourself!"

  As soon as she finished speaking, she flew into the two mountains immediately, and in an instant, her slender figure disappeared into the vast white mist.

  Guan Yu naturally didn't hesitate and flew in directly, disappearing into the white fog.

  Although this black-spotted chicken crown python only showed a hint of its presence, Guan Yu could be certain that it was at least as powerful as the nine-headed giant venomous snake Xide, and his current strength was absolutely no match for it, let alone seal it.

  The creature is so powerful that it has a keen sense of danger, and if he dares to use the seal on the black-spotted chicken crown python, it will probably be instantly killed by the python!

  Others hesitated slightly, but eventually entered between the two mountains. The black-spotted chicken crown cobra stopped in front of the two mountains, and the corners of its mouth actually curled up into a human-like smile before turning around and leaving.

  The rain entered the dense fog and fell to the ground, and in front of him was a vast expanse of fog, but with his spiritual connection, he could feel that Ye Niang and the others were right beside him.

  "What about others?" He asked, holding Night Nai and Bai Yin's hands, while letting Yan Hou hold the other hand of Night Nai.

  Madam Silver heard Guan Yu's question, closed her eyes for a moment and replied: "Master, the fog here is unusual, it can block my perception, I can't scan."

  "Sir, I think we'd better be careful. Even the black-spotted chicken crown snake doesn't dare to enter that place. I don't think it can be a good place, and the hidden danger is probably no less than that of the black-spotted chicken crown snake." Ye Niang said with a slight frown.

  Guan Yu nodded, he also knew that this place wouldn't be anything good, but the more dangerous a place is, the better things it will often have.

  He actually wants to venture into such a place, how can you get the tiger cubs without entering the tiger's lair?

  "Alright, let's go, don't get scattered." He said, and then started moving forward while feeling his way.

  The fog here is very heavy and the visibility is extremely low. The rain can only see less than half a meter in front of him, and at this time he can't even see his own knees.

  After walking for about three minutes, a shrill scream suddenly came, the scream was extremely mournful, revealing an extreme fear, making people feel goosebumps all over their body.

  "Go take a look!"

  Guan Yu felt that the voice was somewhat familiar, and immediately ran towards the source of the sound. The fog around him quickly thinned out and eventually dispersed completely. Guan Yu suddenly stopped in his tracks, releasing the hands of the two women at the same time.

  Before his eyes stood rows of gray stone monuments, each one five meters high, with ancient texts carved on them that he couldn't understand at all.

  A Flying Moon Sect female cultivator was currently pinned to one of the stone tablets, her throat completely pierced by a long sword, fresh blood slowly seeping down along the tablet's carvings.

  She seemed to have no resistance, the long sword that pierced her throat was her own sword. At this time, her eyes were wide open, and her face was distorted by fear, looking extremely terrifying.

  "What's going on?" Lin Yiyi also rushed over at this time because of the voice and saw this scene with a solemn expression.

  Guan Yu shook his head and said, "I don't know, I rushed over and saw this scene."

  "The dead are more important, let's put her down first." Lin Yiyi sighed and stepped onto the flying sword to go up and retrieve the corpse of the Fei Yue Sect female cultivator.

  However, Guan Yu looked around and immediately frowned and stopped him, saying: "Wait a minute."

  "Hmm?" Lin Yiyi lowered her head and looked at Guan Yu.

  Guan Yu looked up at Lin Yiyi and asked, "Don't you want to know who killed her? Don't you think this stone monument looks like a tombstone?"

  "Does this have something to do with putting her down?" Lin Yiyi frowned, but looking around at the stone tablets, she also started to feel that this place was like a tomb.

  "If I'm not mistaken, this should be the tomb of an ancient cultivator. She was probably killed by something in this graveyard!"

  "You mean if I go put her down, it might attract the attention of some creature?" Lin Yiyi said softly, she looked around but didn't find any suspicious place.

  Gu Yu glanced around and said calmly: "It's not certain yet, but with a burial ground like this, even if it's hiding a terrifying monster beyond compare, I wouldn't be surprised."

  Lin Yiyi immediately dispelled the idea of releasing the female cultivator and carefully looked around with the sword in her hand.

  "Don't be too nervous, it's just speculation, but I suggest not to touch her body." Guan Yu smiled and slowly walked towards the stone tablet.

  These stele can no longer be dated, emitting an aura of ancient eternity, and the words on them make one wonder what kind of meaning they represented in ancient times.

  However, this question is probably one that even Gong Nanbai cannot answer. After all, although Gong Nanbai's age is not small, it still hasn't reached the level of several hundred thousand years.

  Suddenly, a task panel popped up in front of Guan Yu, he was slightly stunned, and then saw that the system had given out a branch task: Within one week, use the Wu Shen Luo Pan to find the 'Wu Shen Mausoleum', Reward: One Wu Shen Eye, Failure: Deduct 99% life value, Expel from the instance.

  "What is Wushen Luopan, and what is Wushen Mu? It's a tomb?" Guan Yu sighed inwardly, this task was completely without a clue.

  However, he then thought of the system's convention, generally there would be a task only if there was such an item. He opened his backpack, but did not find any Wu Shen Luopan. He immediately looked around and soon discovered that the mud under his feet had a hint of gold.

  He squatted down and parted the mud, only to see a round compass suddenly appear, but it was tightly grasped by a white bony skull. Guan Yu finally managed to pull it down with great difficulty.

  ——————

  Martial God Luo Pan

  Spiritual tool

  The mysterious astrolabe with a pointer that forever points to the tomb of the God of War may lead to some unexpected discoveries.

  ——————

  Guan Yu opened the lid of the compass, and indeed there was a pointer similar to a compass needle inside. However, no matter how Guan Yu turned the compass, the direction of the pointer did not change.

  "East, south, west, north, this side should be north, sir, is that a compass?" Ye Niang said as she looked at it.

  Guan Yu shook his head and said, "No, if we move, its direction will change. It has always been pointing to the Wu Shen Mausoleum."

  "We're going to the Musashi God's Tomb?" Ye Niang said softly.

  Guan Yu nodded and said: "There is a mandatory task, we must go!"

  Deducting 99% of the lifespan is really too cruel, and this task is a received task, which means forced completion, can't not go.

  After finishing speaking, he walked in the direction of the pointer, and Ye Niang and others naturally followed him.

  "Where are you going?" Lin Yiyi originally was still looking at the stone tablet, saw him slowly leaving, and immediately asked.

  "Go take a look at something."

  Looking at Guan Yu's back, Lin Yiyi hesitated for a moment, then followed up. Although she was very strong and independent, this place really made people feel uncomfortable. She was very clear about Guan Yu's strength, and following him would definitely be safer than acting alone.

  "You've changed a lot, I almost didn't recognize you. What sect have you joined now?" She said after walking for a while.

  In fact, if it weren't for Madame Baiyin's sharp cut that triggered her memories, Lin Yiyi would hardly recognize Guan Yu.

  Guan Yu is now wearing a white robe, with his long hair casually draped behind him. The whole person looks like a bookish scholar; if he were to carry an ancient zither on his back, he might even be able to pass himself off as a romantic poet.

  "People will always change, as for the sect... have you heard of the Six Paths Heavenly Gate?" Gu Yu smiled and said, his smile was very similar to Gong Nanbai's, exuding a warm and elegant atmosphere, perhaps this was his biggest change in the past two months.

  Lin Yiyi shook her head and said, "I've never heard of it, could it be a hidden sect?"

  There are some hidden sects that are very unique, because there are always only two people, one is the master and the other is the apprentice. When the master passes away, the apprentice becomes the new master and finds another apprentice to continue the tradition.

  These sects often have their own unique aspects, but because of the small number of people, many hidden sects are not even known to the old cultivators in the cultivation world.

  Moreover, they often did not take longevity as their goal.

  Lin Yiyi knew that there was a hidden door called Jingtu Men, their goal was to draw all the scenery of the world into the "Brocade Mountains and Rivers Picture".

  This brocade landscape painting is the token of the Jingtu Gate's generations of leaders, and it's also a terrifying magical artifact. Once it's activated, it can forever trap people inside the painting!

  The master of Jingtu Gate was infamous because of the Brocade Map of Mountains and Rivers, and basically, as long as he appeared in the cultivation world, he would be pursued and killed by countless cultivators.

  Guan Yu naturally knew the implication of the Hidden Gate Sect and smiled slightly, but neither denied nor explained.
