Chapter 817: All Techniques Return to One, Resolving Karma (3)
Editor: Henyee Translations
Su Yun held the old Daoist priest back. Seeing that he was silent, he only shook his head gently. Be it the Tomb of the Living Dead or this Daoist priest, Su Yun had always sighed with emotion. In his opinion, this Daoist priest’s perseverance in the Dao was quite similar to Wang Chongyang’s spirit back then.
This old Daoist priest had been guarding the Tomb of the Living Dead for his entire life just to wait for the day the Dao Ancestor arrived as his grandmaster, Wang Chongyang, had said. In order to wait for the Dao Ancestor, countless people had died with regrets even after spending their entire lives.
It was because Wang Chongyang had entered the supernatural state twice and left behind a gatha for future disciples.
“I have the intention to establish Quanzhen, just to leave the Dao Fire for the disciples of the sect. One day, the Dao Ancestor will return. There will be Dao in the world and there will be Dharma to cultivate. The descendants will naturally continue. The world will be clear!”
This lineage had been passed down for nearly a thousand years. Finally, they saw the light in the old Daoist priest’s area. That was why Su Yun returned immediately after arriving at Mount Zhongnan. In his opinion, it was time to give an explanation to his predecessors and these believers in the future.
This was the first time Lin Xiao and Big Head Yang had e to this place, so they looked around curiously. Su Yun also expressed his intention to e.
“Daoist priest, I’ll open an altar at the peak of Mount Zhongnan tomorrow to preach. Your esteemed master has enlightened me a little. I won’t forget this favor. I heard from you that your lineage has guarded this tomb for generations. I wonder how many people are left?”
Upon hearing that Su Yun was about to preach, the old Daoist priest immediately trembled. Then, he knelt and kowtowed in the direction of Wang Chongyang’s statue.
“Grandmaster in heaven, you should be relieved today. The Dao Ancestor is in the mortal world. From now on, Dao Qi will exist in Great Xia. Cultivators from all sides will not walk the same path as before and regret for the rest of their lives,” The old Daoist priest said as tears fell from his eyes.
Their lineage wanted to see their Grandmaster’s regret be fulfilled. Generations after generations, when it came to the old Daoist priest’s generation, he had already lost hope in the Dao. But ever since he met Su Yun by chance last time, the gloominess in the old Daoist priest’s heart was swept away. He knew that the day of Su Yun’s sermon would e, but he did not expect it to e so quickly.
Lin Xiao and Big Head Yang did not know the reason, so it was a little strange to see the old Daoist priest so excited. It was difficult for them to understand. For someone like the old Daoist priest, who stuck to his Dao heart and knew that what he wanted in his life was very likely to be in vain, he had never wavered.
When the old Daoist priest finally calmed down, Su Yun started chatting with him again.
Lin Xiao and Big Head Yang did not know what Su Yun said to the old Daoist priest. They only knew that he had left the Tomb of the Living Dead in a hurry, leaving the place where he had stayed for his entire life.
After the old Daoist priest left, Big Head Yang curiously went to Su Yun’s side and asked, “Su Yun, what kind of place is this? Although it’s in the scenic area, there doesn’t seem to be anything worth seeing.”
Lin Xiao nodded sincerely. “Yes, it looks lifeless and a little cold.”
As Su Yun walked deeper into the Tomb of the Living Dead, he told the two of them Wang Chongyang’s story. After knowing the ins and outs, the two of them immediately felt deep veneration for this place.
They followed Su Yun through the Tomb of the Living Dead at a leisurely pace. A moment later, Su Yun suddenly stopped in his tracks.
Su Yun was standing in front of a wall that was engraved with obscure and plicated patterns. They looked like words, but they were impossible to recognize. Instead, they looked like scribbles.
Su Yun stood in front of the wall for a long time. Even Big Head Yang and Lin Xiao had never seen Su Yun so serious. At that moment, Su Yun was immersed in his mental world. The surrounding environment was where he was at that time.
After seeing the symbols on the wall yesterday, he had an uncontrollable thought. He slowly sat cross-legged in the spiritual world. The lifeless pattern on the wall in front of him seemed to have e alive at this moment, flickering with a faint golden light.
This made Su Yun seem to sense something. He slowly stretched out a hand and pointed his sword into the air. In this mental world, the originally invisible and formless supernatural aura could also appear in front of him in the form of light.
Su Yun’s fingers slowly swam in the air as a supernatural aura quickly formed in the air. It was identical to the pattern on the wall. He casually pushed the pattern forward. Immediately after, the condensed supernatural aura exploded with a bang. The power that was formed surprised even him. It was also because of this that Su Yun’s initial guess was verified at this moment.
As expected, this was the art of talismans!
The first time Su Yun saw the wall yesterday, he was attracted by the patterns on the wall.
Back then, Wang Chongyang was focused on prehending the Dao in the Tomb of the Living Dead. Although he could not prehend the Great Dao, he had prehended the method of talismans.
However, before entering the Dao, one could not mobilize the spiritual qi of heaven and earth. The spiritual qi of heaven and earth that spell cultivators often mentioned was actually an extraordinary aura.
Therefore, Wang Chongyang could only engrave these talismans on the wall. He did not expect that after so many years, he would unintentionally take advantage of it for his descendants.
This made Su Yun’s eyes light up. A sudden enlightenment lingered in his heart.
