Chapter 105: The Golden Bell Dragon That Covers the Ground

  The three brothers, Ningyuan, Shibo and San, chatted for a while before Yao Xinyan pointed to the entrance of the tunnel in front of them and said, "Let's go. Since we're here, let's go down together and take a look around. If we can open the tomb chamber and retrieve what's inside before the Jiuxing Gate, that would be even better. It'll also save me from constantly keeping an eye on them."

  Ning Yuan and He Zhengxun naturally had no opinion, especially Ning Yuan, who also really wanted to see Yu Qian's tomb. This Yu Qian was a famous minister of his generation, with clean sleeves and high expectations at the time. Since many people from the Xuanmen sect participated in building his mausoleum back then, it must be absolutely extraordinary inside, which made Ning Yuan's heart flutter even more.

  "Alright, take me through this dark and mysterious formation." Yao Xinyuan smiled faintly, walked forward, stretched out his hand to dissolve the void, pointed at the illusory formation from a distance, and it suddenly broke open, revealing its original entrance.

  "Haha, it's been over a decade since we last met, and Third Brother's array skills have become even more exquisite. He broke the array without harming its foundation, so after we leave, it can be restored to its original state, making it impossible for others to detect anything." He Zhengyun chuckled as he watched Yao Xinyan break the array.

  "Second Master has given his approval." Yao Xinyan smiled faintly and led the way into the entrance, with Ning Yuan and He Zhengxun closely following behind.

  This passage should have been excavated by the people of Jiuxing Gate, and the cave is not wide, only allowing one person to move forward with their waist bent. Yao Xinyan, who was walking in front, also had a flashlight to light the way.

  The passageway continued to slope downward, and after walking for about twenty minutes, the front suddenly opened up, entering a large tomb. Judging from the situation, it should be the outer chamber of the tomb.

  "It should be over thirty meters down here already." He Zhengxun looked around and said.

  "Ah, it should be over 30 meters." Yao Xinyan nodded and said: "This is the outer chamber of the tomb, inside is the main chamber. This tomb is relatively simple, without many branch chambers and surrounding chambers, just an outer chamber and inner chamber."

  "But this inner chamber is not easy to enter." Ning Yuan narrowed his eyes and examined the walls, saying: "The wall in front of us should be made of a special kind of stone brick, made from nine yin soil and burned paper. The entire tomb chamber is an intact yin evil array. Unless we find the eye of the array, there's absolutely no way to open it."

  "Good eyes, little brother." Yao Xinyan smiled and said: "This is exactly the complexity of this tomb chamber. The entire main tomb chamber should not be large, but it forms a large yin evil array. Inside, the yin energy is dense. Once someone randomly breaks open the array, the yin evil energy will not only make the people in the tomb disappear instantly, but also drift out and affect the surrounding area within a hundred miles, shrouding everything in yin evil energy. At that time, it will be a disaster."

  "No wonder the Jiuxingmen is not in a hurry, instead they have time to deal with Chen Yuxin." Ning Yuan's heart was clear, with this large Yin evil array, without finding a way to break it before, the Jiuxingmen also had no choice but to wait, maybe the other side was thinking about how to break the array.

  While thinking in his heart, Ningyuan was checking the surroundings of the outer chamber with Yao Xinyan and He Zhengxun, exploring the feng shui layout of the entire tomb.

  After a while, Ningyuan slowly opened his mouth and said: "If I'm not wrong, this tomb should be the layout of the Golden Bell Dragon, with the entire inner chamber resembling a large bell covering the inner chamber inside."

  "Not bad, little brother has a good eye for this. The tomb is indeed the layout of the Golden Bell Dragon covering the earth." Yao Xinyan nodded and said: "In those years, Yu Qian was a famous minister, and the layout of the Golden Bell Dragon's yin zhai also protected the descendants of Yu to produce another famous minister."

  "If it's the Jin Zhong Long formation, then we can only enter from below the main tomb chamber and go up. There is no way to enter from the sides or top." said He Zhengxun.

  "Heh heh, it's not that simple." Yao Xinyan shook her head and said: "Under this tomb, there is still a layer of nine-yin soil bricks that have been burned with yin fire. This nine-yin soil is thousand-year-old yin soil, often found in deep parts of mausoleums or desolate mountains. The yin energy is very heavy, and after being buried underground for hundreds of years, the yin energy has become even more intense. Any one of these nine-yin bricks can be used to nurture a magic tool, but it's also the best choice for suppressing enemies and guarding the house."

  "It seems that the people who built the tomb of Qian Mu back then were absolutely not simple, this is a big deal, let alone other things, just these nine-yin bricks are absolutely good stuff." He Zhengxun couldn't help but sigh.

  "The Nine Yin Bricks were nothing special in the Ming Dynasty, but this gathering yin array is almost flawless and astonishing." Ning Yuan said from the side.

  The nine yin soil is hard to find in modern times, but it was not that rare in ancient times. After all, there were many barren mountains and wild ridges everywhere back then, unlike now when large-scale development has taken place everywhere. As a result, the nine yin bricks made from this soil are still relatively easy to find.

  This tomb is astonishing because this gathering of yin energy, also known as the Nine Yin Array, has somehow merged all nine bricks into one.

  A piece of Jiuyin brick's evil spirit is nothing, but all these Jiuyin bricks merge into one body, this evil spirit is not something ordinary people can withstand. Let alone the three Ningyuan, even a top-notch Yuan Shen master would fall here if they're not careful.

  Several people investigated, but there was no clue. He Zhengxun said bitterly: "The three of us have been investigating for so long and still can't find any clues. I'm afraid the Jiuxingmen also has no way to break this formation. Since we can't open it, let's not worry about it anymore. Let this tomb rest in peace here."

  "Hehe, can't be broken, won't see it."

  Ningyuan suddenly chuckled and narrowed his eyes, looking at a certain spot on the wall of the inner room, as if he was thinking deeply.

  "Little brother, what's going on?" He Zhengxun and Yao Xinyan were both slightly startled and hastily came to Ningyuan's side to ask.

  "This tomb is the Golden Bell Dragon, so there must be a lid. As long as we find the right lid and strike it with a ritual instrument, the evil energy of the entire gathering yin array will be temporarily dispersed. It takes three hours to reunite, which is enough for us to enter the tomb."

  "The cover is easy to find, but what can be used to knock on the cover? Ordinary magic tools can't withstand the huge evil spirit of this gathering yin array, and it's likely to be counterattacked and destroy a magic tool." He Zhengxun said.

  "Hehe, others may not have it, but I'm not necessarily without." Ning Yuan smiled faintly and reached into his pocket to pull out the Blood Qilin.

  As Ningyuan took out the Blood Qilin, both Yao Xinyan and He Zhengxun's eyes lit up. Yao Xinyan even burst into laughter: "Haha, I had forgotten that you still have this Thousand Year Calamity Instrument. This Thousand Year Calamity Instrument is forged from the fusion of high-altitude blood jade and yin energy, possessing the effect of absorbing yin calamities. It's indeed worth a try."

  "All right, please ask the two seniors to retreat. I will come and strike the lid of the gate, dispersing the gathering yin array." Ning Yuan nodded and said to He Zhengxun and Yao Xinyan.

  He Zhengxun and Yao Xinyan both retreated a few steps, standing three meters behind Ning Yuan, one on the left and one on the right, helping Ning Yuan to guard against evil spirits while also preparing to support him at any time in case of an accident.

  After He Zhengxun and the other retreated, Ningyuan's two hands suddenly released the Blood Qilin, his spiritual sense probed out, and the Blood Qilin in his hand suddenly flew high into the air. At the same time, his two hands pinched a seal, striking out several strange hand gestures.

  As Ningyuan's gesture struck out, the Blood Qilin that had originally fallen from high altitude to Ningyuan's head suddenly floated in mid-air, looking very eerie.

  Fortunately, those present at this time were all insiders of the Mystic Sect. If there were people who didn't understand the secret techniques present, they would have been scared to death by this scene.

  The Blood Qilin floated in mid-air, and Ning Yuan's hands quickly changed gestures, various seals were constantly printed on the Blood Qilin in mid-air.

  The originally palm-sized Blood Qilin suddenly emitted a bright red light, trembling non-stop, and its body began to slowly grow at a visible speed, the entire Blood Qilin becoming lifelike, as if it were about to come back to life.

  He Zhengxun and Yao Xinyan, standing behind Ningyuan, exchanged a glance, their faces filled with astonishment. Yao Xinyan couldn't help but whisper to He Zhengxun, "Second Brother, our young brother is indeed gifted, at the age of twenty he has already achieved Spiritual Awareness and his grasp of magic is so profound, I really don't know what words to use to describe him."

  "Hehe, little brother is indeed a freak, absolutely a rare talent that can be encountered in a thousand years, and compared to him, it's absolutely possible to get knocked out." He Zhengxun chuckled.

  "Hmm." Yao Xinyan nodded, and couldn't help but feel a sense of pride: "It's good that Little Brother is one of our Jiu Xuan Men. With Little Brother leading the way, we might even surpass Master's generation."

  Just as Yao Xinyuan and He Zhengxun were talking in low voices, the Blood Qilin in mid-air had grown to half a meter in size, its red light dazzling, with dark winds whistling around it, making people tremble with fear.

  "Go!"

  Ningyuan, who had been continuously casting the law of decision, suddenly pointed with both hands empty and shouted loudly. The Blood Qilin in mid-air shook violently and transformed into a blood-red light pillar that fiercely crashed towards the wall of the nearby tomb chamber.
