In the ancestral vein of Wen Mountain, Miao Jue had used the prayer beads in his hand to force Chen Yangting to retreat. In front of the Han family's Heavenly Master and Longhu Mountain, he had said that he would save my life.
I still remembered what he had said. He said that I had a predestined relationship with Buddhism. He had even asked me to visit Crouching Buddha Temple when I had time.
If I hadn't seen those Sanskrit words, I would have thought that Miao Jue's invitation was just an excuse to protect me at that critical moment.
From the appearance of the prayer beads, they were more or less related to Crouching Buddha Temple. Perhaps the monk called Fa Yuan was an eminent monk of Crouching Buddha Temple.
Prayer beads were a kind of magic tool for monks. A powerful magic tool was very important to a sect.
I was sure that the prayer beads in my hand weren't inferior to the one in Miao Jue's hand.
Moreover, I didn't know much about Buddhism, so this thing could only be used as an ornament.
It seemed I had to find time to visit Crouching Buddha Temple and return this thing.
After putting the prayer beads back into the Xiangliu pouch, I called out to Chiyou, the evil sacrificial spirit, to leave this place.
Although this place was Chiyou's tomb, I was still scared after what I had just experienced. I couldn't stay here any longer.
However, I stopped halfway. I had forgotten that there was something I hadn't done yet.
The evil sacrificial spirit behind me saw that I had stopped. He gently approached me and asked, "What's the matter?"
I had promised Wuyue that I would bring Liu Ruxu's body out and find a place to bury it.
I told him about it briefly. The evil sacrificial spirit didn't say much. He just told me that he would wait for me here and that I should come back as soon as possible.
I nodded, turned around, and walked toward the Ten Terminal Formation.
The fatty and I had broken the Ten Terminal Formation, and I had the prayer beads in my hand. It wouldn't be activated again.
I didn't encounter any obstacles along the way. When I returned to Blood Maple Forest, I couldn't help but feel sad when I saw the devastation on the ground.
The tragic scene where Wuyue had imitated Nezha in cutting his intestines and scraping his bones to repay his parents was still vivid in my mind.
I had thought that Wuyue and his wife would have a new beginning when they reunited after a hundred years. Who would have thought that this would be the result?
After searching for a while in the Blood Maple Forest, he finally found the remains of Liu Ruxu. Unfortunately, Wu Yue was a Guqin Spirit and did not have a physical body.
Their love for each other moved me. They had suffered a lot when they were alive. Now, one of them had become a ghost, and the other's life and death were unknown. I wanted to see if I could find Wu Yue's belongings so that I could bury her and her husband together. This was the best I could do.
But now, it seemed that the couple's joint burial would not be completed.
Just as I was about to return, I glanced at the ground and saw a few thin white silk threads.
This reminded me of how Wuyue had resolutely severed his soul. Are these the strings of the Fuxi Zither?
I held them in my hands. They were no different from ordinary zither strings. They didn't have any spiritual energy fluctuations.
I clenched my fists. Since Wuyue was a Guqin Spirit, these strings were no different from her body. Burying them together with Liu Ruxu's remains would be a perfect ending for the couple.
Before leaving the Blood Maple Forest, I subconsciously looked at the cave behind me. The cave had become a ruin. According to Liu Ruxu, the people from Mount Longhu were all trapped inside.
It seemed that they wouldn't be able to escape for a while.
I couldn't help but feel happy when I saw this scene.
Although I didn't have a big grudge against those cow-noses, they had treated Wuyue and her husband. They had even forced Wuyue into a dead end. This kind of punishment couldn't resolve the hatred in their hearts.
As early as when Wuyue told me about her and Liu Ruxu, I unconsciously thought of Hua Hua and me.
Perhaps it was because we had the same experience, but my attitude toward this matter was clear. I would do my best to protect the two of them.
It was also a way to comfort myself. If I could successfully save the two of them, it would greatly stimulate my desire to be with Hua Hua in the future.
Although the ending wasn't ideal, Wuyue was still alive and Liu Ruxu had successfully escaped. It was only a matter of time before the two of them met again.
With this thought, I couldn't help but snort and shake my body. It was a disguised form of encouragement for myself.
After leaving the Ten Terminal Formation, the evil sacrificial spirit was still waiting. Seeing my relaxed face, it didn't say anything. It just nodded and strode forward, ready to take me out of this place.
The fatty and I had mysteriously entered this tomb. We didn't know which way was north, south, east, or west. Fortunately, this was a place where evil spirits were worshiped. We didn't have to spend much effort on the way out of Chiyou's tomb.
The place where we were standing now was the Holy Mother Temple. I turned around and gazed at the sacrificial altar in front of me.
At this moment, it was a little damaged. Perhaps this formation would be damaged after each use.
I didn't linger on this matter. I was thinking about whether I should destroy this sacrificial altar or not.
Although I didn't know how many exits there were in Chiyou's tomb, since the evil sacrificial spirit had taken me out of this place, there shouldn't be any other exit.
If that was the case, I was inclined to destroy it. First, I didn't need to keep this Chiyou's tomb. Second, I was afraid that Lu Zhenyang would escape from the tomb after receiving Chiyou's inheritance.
I didn't know what he had done in his previous life. Every time he encountered danger, he could turn misfortune into fortune.
With the power of the evil sacrificial spirit, he wasn't afraid of Lu Zhenyang.
If he didn't worry about leaving Lu Zhenyang in the tomb and letting him receive Chiyou's inheritance, he must have believed that this tomb could trap him inside.
On the other hand, I felt a little guilty. If I let Lu Zhenyang escape, it would be even more difficult for me to deal with him.
While I was hesitating, the evil sacrificial spirit saw my anxiety and said, "You don't need to worry too much. You're a person who cultivates shaman energy. You've become a target for everyone.
When you become successful, you won't need to be afraid of these clowns! "
I grinned. I was the one who was a little cowardly. After going through so many things, I no longer had the pride that a young man should have. I just wanted to return to the Fire God Temple and stay with Hua Hua for a long time. To say something irresponsible, even if the world turned upside down, what did it have to do with me?
Thinking about this, I couldn't help but feel a raging fire in my heart. I waved my hand and sent streams of energy towards the sacrificial altar. In an instant, the sacrificial altar exploded and turned into dust.
I waved my hand and brought the evil sacrificial spirit out of the Holy Mother Temple. I was going to find a good place to bury Wuyue and his wife.
After searching around the mountain, I finally found an auspicious spot.
This spot was located in the small forest on the mountainside. This forest was a slightly auspicious spot, one of the four perilous spots. I had originally planned to bury Wuyue and his wife here, but I didn't expect to meet the young Daoist from Mount Longhu.
He probably didn't expect me to come out alive. He looked surprised and happy. He shouted at me, "Master, are you okay?
Did you see my Martial Uncles and Daoist Son inside? Are they okay?
They'll definitely be fine. Daoist Son and the rest are so strong. They'll definitely be fine. "
I looked at the little fellow and had mixed feelings. I didn't know how to tell him what had happened. In the end, I patted his head and said, "Yes, I'm fine!"
The little fellow nodded and wanted to ask something.
I raised my hand and interrupted him. I really couldn't bear to continue being entangled with this ignorant child. I could only lie to him and say that his master and Martial Uncles had already come out. They had encountered some matters on the way, so they returned to the sect first.
The little Daoist was a little disappointed after hearing that. He scratched his head and thought for a while. He looked up at the Holy Mother Temple and said softly, "I won't disturb you anymore. I'll return to the sect to report!"
After saying that, he cupped his hands and turned to go down the mountain.
Looking at the little Daoist's back, I couldn't help but think of what Liu Ruxu and Daoist Son had said in the tomb.
The Daoist of Mount Longhu probably wouldn't be able to come out. It seemed that Celestial Master Zhang would have to choose a new Daoist. I could only hope that this kid was lucky and wouldn't be chosen.
After the little Daoist left, I took the evil sacrificial spirit to walk around the forest. Finally, I found a relatively good place and prepared to start digging the tomb.
I originally planned to go down the mountain to find some villagers to help me dig the tomb. However, when they heard that I was going to bury people in the mountain, they were unwilling to come. Not only that, but they also earnestly advised me not to bury people in the mountain. Otherwise, the family that was buried would have no descendants.
Of course, I knew that this place wasn't suitable for burial. This was a suicide position, the most dangerous place among the four ominous positions. Even the safest place in the suicide position wasn't a place to bury old friends. Otherwise, a sudden epidemic would be a small matter. A sudden disaster from the heavens would cause the family to have no descendants.
After all, whether it was in their or my heart, continuing to have descendants was a big matter that couldn't be underestimated.
However, Wu Yue and his wife's situation was different. They were dead, and they didn't have descendants. As long as there was a place to preserve their remains, it would be fine.
And, the position I had chosen was just the right place to do that.
After talking for a long time, the villagers still didn't want to go up the mountain with me. In the end, I could only take the evil sacrificial spirit and return. The two of us spent half a day to make that area suitable for the couple to be buried together.
Normally, if a couple didn't die at the same time, they would need to leave the left for the man or the right for the woman. This way, the details of the burial would change, and it would be difficult to be buried together.
There were three types of burial in the cemetery: "Burial in the same cave", "Burial in different caves", and "Burial in the same grave but different caves". These were different types of burial. The next was "Burial in the same cave".
In the Loess Plateau of the North, this type of burial was very popular. When one of the couple passed away, they would be buried first. When the other died, they would dig up the grave, with the man on the left and the woman on the right. The coffin would be placed side by side, with a red cloth tied across the coffin. It was similar to the knot a couple would tie at a wedding.
Among the minority groups in the Southwest, there were also couples who were buried in the same coffin. The cliff burial of Bai Ku Yao in Guangxi was like this. One could see the bones of a man and a woman in one coffin.
Burial in the same chamber was relatively simple. First, we would put the coffin of the deceased in the chamber. Then, we would open the door of the tomb and put the new coffin in.
After digging the Yin well, I prepared everything for Wu Yue and his wife, such as coffins and burial clothes.
According to the customs of Hebei, burying the dead had many procedures, such as the first death, the announcement of the funeral, the mortuary, and so on. However, Wu Yue and his wife's situation was special, and we didn't have much time. So, we simply followed my procedures.
