Chapter 130, The Relics of the Evil Emperor, Farewell to the Tang Dynasty
The location where the "Evil Emperor's Relics" are collected is in the circular stone chamber in the center of the four warehouses.
There was a stone table in the stone room. By lifting and rotating the stone table with a special technique, the floor next to the stone table opened up, revealing a small space with a small brass jar inside.
"Is the evil emperor's relic inside here?"
Shan Wanjing said curiously, picking up the small jar with one hand. As soon as she lifted it, she was surprised:
"This jar looks small, but I didn't expect it to be so heavy. I'm afraid it must weigh at least 100 kilograms!"
As he spoke, he exerted a little more strength and lifted the small brass jar weighing over 100 pounds with one hand.
Just as she was about to put down the jar, her expression suddenly changed slightly, her brows furrowed, and a hint of suspicion appeared in her eyes.
"what happened?"
"Sir, this jar is a bit spooky. All sorts of bloody and horrible weird scenes suddenly appeared in my mind, and I seemed to hear the wailing of thousands of wronged souls demanding their lives. It's really scary."
Ouyang Feng pondered for a while and said:
"It should be that the evil spirit of the evil emperor's relics is overflowing and affecting the mind. The copper pot is isolating it, so it won't be a problem."
Before the death of the evil emperors of every generation, they would inject all the true essence and energy they had cultivated throughout their lives into the evil emperor's relics.
Among the evil emperors of the Xieji Sect, even if there were occasionally some good people, most of them were still evil demons. The nature of their cultivation was inevitably negative. As it accumulated from generation to generation, the relics of the evil emperors gradually accumulated extremely terrifying deathly evil energy.
If one's spiritual cultivation is not sufficient and one comes into direct contact with the evil emperor's relic without any shielding, it is possible that evil energy will enter one's brain, causing mental collapse and turning one into a crazy demon who only cares about killing.
After giving Shan Wanjing a brief explanation, Ouyang Feng also reached out and grasped the handle of the copper jar to experience it himself.
Sure enough, not long after he grasped the handle, all kinds of bloody and horrifying scenes of hell emerged in his mind, and all kinds of shrill wails kept ringing in his ears, as if wronged souls were demanding their lives.
But for Ouyang Feng, who had long experienced the test of the "Life-Calling Sanskrit Sound", this mental shock was just like a breeze on his face and he felt nothing at all.
He even felt that he could just hold the Evil Emperor's relic in his hand, use the relic's evil energy to sharpen his mind, and in the meantime eliminate the negative energy.
After a moment of silence, Ouyang Feng said to Shan Wanjing:
"The evil spirit and death energy of the evil emperor's relic are very helpful for sharpening the mind. Of course, with your current spiritual cultivation, I'm afraid you can't touch the relic directly, so you'd better sharpen it through the copper pot."
He then asked Shan Wanjing to hold the handle of the copper jar and sharpen her mind in this central stone chamber, while he returned to the main world to collect objects.
……
The main world, Huashan.
Ouyang Feng walked out of the secret room and went to the training ground, only to see Lin Chaoying standing at the edge of the training ground with her hands behind her back, watching a group of children practicing martial arts.
These children are orphans who were sent here by Huashan disciples such as Wang Wu, He Song, Gao Hu, etc. who went down the mountain to do business since last winter. They were raised for a winter and after passing the test, they officially became the second generation disciples of Huashan and started to practice martial arts in the early spring of this year.
These orphans have all suffered, and they cherish their current lives very much. Whether doing odd jobs or studying and learning to read, they do their best without compromise.
They are even more diligent in practicing martial arts. After half a year of practice since the beginning of spring, almost every child has mastered the two basic Huashan School kung fu skills, "Walking Alone in Ten Thousand Miles" and "Chasing Life with Thirteen Legs".
Some children with excellent physiques have even developed some rudimentary internal strength from the outside in.
Ouyang Feng watched for a while and was quite satisfied with the spirit of the children. He waved to Lin Chaoying again.
Lin Chaoying smiled at him, gave a few words of advice to Huashan's head coach and senior sister Baoqin, and then walked to Ouyang Feng:
"What's the matter?"
In Lin Chaoying's concept of time, it was only a moment since she had parted with Ouyang Feng.
But in Ouyang Feng's time, he had been separated from her for more than three months.
He looked at her for a long time, until her pretty face turned red and her eyes showed shyness, then he said with a smile:
"Come with me."
As he spoke, he took Lin Chaoying's hand, left the sect's headquarters, and headed towards the forest where no road had been opened.
"You're so mysterious. Where are you taking me?"
"Don't worry, Sister Lin. You'll know soon."
After walking for five or six miles in one breath through the steep and rugged mountains and forests, we came to a cliff cave covered with vines like curtains. We lifted the vines, stepped into the cave, and walked along the winding cave for several feet. Suddenly, the front opened up and revealed a huge grotto.
There were several cracks on the dome on one side of the cave, and sparse light penetrated through the cracks, bringing a few rays of light to the cave. Although it was still extremely dark, with the skills of Ouyang Feng and Lin Chaoying, these few rays of light were enough for them to see everything in the cave clearly.
"There is such a huge cave here? How come I didn't know about it?"
Lin Chaoying exclaimed.
"I found it by accident while wandering around."
Ouyang Feng replied with a smile.
He actually wanted to find the cave of Huashan Sect in The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, but he accidentally found this cave. Not only is the space spacious, but it is also dry enough. Even in rainy and snowy seasons, there is not much moisture inside, making it sufficient for storage.
Lin Chaoying looked around, put her hand out to test the dampness of the stone wall and the ground, and said with a smile:
"This place is good. It can be used as a warehouse."
"That's what I was thinking too."
As he spoke, Ouyang Feng released all the armor, weapons, gold, jewelry, rice, flour, etc. that were in the storage talisman and piled them against the wall of the cave.
Seeing him release so many things, Lin Chaoying was slightly startled:
"Where did you get so many things?"
"Sister Lin, there is something I think it's time to tell you."
Ouyang Feng pondered for a while and said slowly:
"You know, I often daydream."
"Ok, I know."
Lin Chaoying smiled and gently stroked the amulet that she wore as a jade pendant around her waist:
"You often travel in the sky, get a glimpse of the secrets of heaven, and learn unique skills that do not exist in this world, even the magic of immortals. So, are you trying to tell me that you are actually the reincarnation of an immortal and have awakened your wisdom?"
This sounded like a teasing remark, but in fact it contained hidden worry: ever since she witnessed his magical powers, she had always been vaguely worried, fearing that this husband who seemed to be the reincarnation of an immortal would suddenly become enlightened, cut off worldly ties, ascend to heaven, and no longer be attached to the mundane world.
Reincarnation is indeed reincarnation, but the previous life was not an immortal, but a mortal who died of illness, and only got the good fortune of an immortal.
Ouyang Feng said silently in his heart, and he also understood the hidden worries in her heart. He took a step forward, held her hand, stared into her eyes, and said softly:
"Don't worry, Sister Lin. I am not practicing the path of ruthlessness. Even if I achieve enlightenment, I will take you with me."
Seeing his extremely serious expression, Lin Chaoying suddenly felt relieved. A beautiful and moving smile appeared on her cheeks, but tears appeared in the corners of her eyes. She took a step forward and hugged him tightly, as if she wanted to rub her whole body into his arms, and whispered:
"I will also work hard on my training and won't hold you back."
"Sister Lin, don't belittle yourself. You and I have always encouraged each other, especially in terms of creating achievements. Sister Lin is a genius and a mentor to me. How could she hold me back?"
Lin Chaoying was more and more moved, she couldn't help but tilt her neck back and offer him a passionate kiss.
After a while of kissing, Lin Chaoying calmed down, snuggled into his arms, and said, "I haven't finished what I was saying before. What do you want to tell me?"
Ouyang Feng said: "I want to tell you that, in fact, not only can I travel to the outer world in spirit, but I can also travel to the outer world in my physical body and explore the outer world."
"..."
Lin Chaoying blinked and looked up at him, her eyes full of surprise: "Are you kidding?"
Ouyang Feng said seriously: "How can I joke about this? Those magical skills, unique arts and strange symbols that do not exist in this world are what I found when I traveled to the outer world."
Lin Chaoying frowned, looking displeased:
"You're going to travel to outer space, but you don't take me with you?"
Perhaps because she had the "Talisman for Absorbing Things and Sound for Subduing Dragons" as a foundation, she had long been accustomed to Ouyang Feng's magical powers, and even once speculated that he was the "reincarnation of an immortal" who had awakened his innate wisdom. Now she naturally accepted the statement that he could go to the outer space in a physical body.
"I can't bring anyone else with me for now, I can only go alone."
"So these things were also brought back from the outer world by you?"
"Yes. I looted some gold, silver, treasures, weapons and armor from other worlds outside the sky, and also bought some food, which I will bring back to the Western Regions during the New Year. In addition, I discovered a huge treasure in another world outside the sky. There are too many things, and the storage talisman cannot hold them all, so I came back to empty the storage talisman, and by the way, I would like to borrow your storage talisman, Sister Lin."
"It can't even hold a storage talisman? How big is the treasure then?"
"A very, very large treasure."
"Are you not in the outer world?"
"Of course not. I'm looking for real treasures."
"Alas, I have no right to control you as to what happens to you in other worlds outside the sky. But you must remember that although you are young, you are already a great master who founded a school. You can no longer be like you were when you were young, happily running to touch the corpses after killing the enemy... In short, even if no one recognizes you in the world outside the sky, you must not do anything that is unworthy of a great master."
"..."
Ouyang Feng was speechless, thinking that since I have servants by my side now, I don't need to touch the corpse myself.
Lin Chaoying gave Ouyang Feng a few words of advice, took off the storage talisman from her waist, took out the sundries inside, and handed the jade talisman to him:
"How long are you going?"
Ouyang Feng took the Absorption Talisman and said:
"No matter how long the time passes in the outer world, it only takes a moment here. Sister Lin is waiting for me here."
Lin Chaoying said with a smile:
"Go."
……
The world of Twin Dragons, Yang Gong’s treasure house.
In the central stone chamber, a bright moonlight suddenly lit up, and Ouyang Feng appeared in the stone chamber out of thin air as if he was walking on the moon.
Shan Wanjing was still sitting cross-legged on the ground with her eyes closed, just like when he left. A small brass jar was placed in front of her. She held the two ear-shaped handles of the jar with both hands. Although her brows were slightly wrinkled and her cheeks were a little pale, her overall aura was still relatively stable.
Ouyang Feng nodded in satisfaction, and without disturbing her, he went straight to the gold and silver treasure house, first collecting all the wooden boxes containing gold and silver, and then went to collect the weapon boxes - after all, gold and silver have high density, and a million taels of gold can't take up much space. Therefore, the majority of the space occupied by the storage symbol is mainly occupied by the weapon boxes.
Those tens of thousands of large wooden boxes filled with various military weapons would have to be moved nearly ten times using at least two storage talismans.
From Lin Chaoying's perspective in the main world, Ouyang Feng disappeared in a flash, then reappeared in a flash, and then went to the edge of the cave, and with a wave of his hand, he released a densely packed large wooden boxes, which were neatly placed against the stone wall.
After that, he smiled at her and disappeared in a flash. Before she could go over to count the items in the box, Ouyang Feng reappeared in a flash and released a large wooden box filled with densely packed items...
After nearly ten trips back and forth, Ouyang Feng finally stopped, handed her Absorbing Talisman back to her, and said with a smile:
"We've finished moving."
"Is the move finally finished?"
Looking at the huge wooden boxes piled up like a mountain, occupying almost half of the open space in the cave, with their number exceeding ten thousand, Lin Chaoying was shocked even though she didn't know what was inside them.
So many big boxes, even if they are filled with scrap metal, are still a fortune worth a huge amount of money.
"Sister Lin, please wait for a moment. I will count with you later."
After saying this, Ouyang Feng disappeared again.
……
Yang Gong's treasury.
When Shan Wanjing let go of the handle of the copper jar and ended her "heart refining" at Ouyang Feng's request, almost two hours had passed.
"Come on, it's time to go out."
"Go out? Have all the treasure chests been moved away?"
Shan Wanjing went to the door of a warehouse and took a look, only to find that it was empty, without even a wooden box left. She then looked at the other three warehouses, and they were all empty as well.
Even though she knew that Ouyang Feng had the "magic art of moving things", the miracle of tens of thousands of large wooden boxes disappearing in just two hours still shocked Shan Wanjing and filled her with admiration.
Ouyang Feng put the copper pot into the storage talisman and walked towards a secret passage, saying:
"After the main hub of the treasury is opened, all the secret passages that were originally closed will be opened at the same time. One of the secret passages can lead directly to the outside of the city. We will leave the city now and return to Chang'an to play for a few days tomorrow. After that, you should return to Ryukyu."
Shan Wanjing understood the meaning of his words:
"Sir, are you leaving?"
"Yes. The purpose of this trip has almost been achieved. I need to retreat for a while to sort out and digest what I have gained."
"But Ryukyu is far away from the Central Plains, peaceful and worry-free. Isn't it just right for you, sir, to retreat?"
"Ryukyu is great, but I have been here long enough. It is time to go back."
Even though Shan Wanjing knew that he would not stay in the "lower world" for long, when she heard him talk about going back, her heart ached, her eyes turned red, and she was about to cry.
Ouyang Feng smiled, "It's not like you'll never come back, why are you sad? After you return to Ryukyu, I'll come to Ryukyu once a month to guide you for a few days."
Shan Wanjing finally burst into laughter and took Ouyang Feng's arm, pressing her chest against his arm, "I knew that you would never abandon me."
Ouyang Feng said: "You have also made contributions in this expedition. When I figure out a method to absorb the essence of the evil emperor's relics, you will have your own luck."
Shan Wanjing laughed:
"Wan Jing is not greedy for this good fortune. As long as the gentleman can come to see Wan Jing every month, I will be satisfied!"
"The reward still needs to be given. Besides, you are already a mature swordsman, so you can go on your own on this journey from Chang'an back to Ryukyu."
"Ah?" Shan Wanjing was stunned. "But if we encounter danger on the road..."
In fact, she was not afraid of danger, but she didn't want to be separated from her husband so soon and wanted to stay with him for a while longer.
Ouyang Feng knew what she was thinking, but he did not reveal it. He just said:
"With your martial arts, there are not many people in the world who can embarrass you. Now the Queen of Yin values you, and the largest evil sect in the world will not embarrass you. How can there be much danger? Even if you really encounter a crisis that cannot be solved, the 'Tongtian Spirit Seed' will warn me in time. For me, falling from the sky is just a moment. In short, this journey home is your experience."
