Uncle Jiu's Senior Brother

Chapter 145: Sky Bridge

She was the mother of a country, and yet she was stuffed in here after her death.

Everyone was sighing.

"She might not have volunteered, and she might have been stuffed in alive, just to be buried alive with Emperor Muzong of Liao."

Shi Jian expressed his guess.

Lu Li was not interested in the cause of her death, but he opened her coffin.

It can be considered as indirectly saving her.

At least she can be freed from pain and reincarnate.

Uncle Jiu couldn't bear to see her body lying here like this.

He asked several disciples to dig a hole and bury her.

While moving the female corpse, a piece of parchment fell out of her sleeve.

Lu Li picked it up with a handkerchief and unfolded it.

Then I saw a sentence written in Khitan language on it.

The handwriting was very sloppy, as if it had been written in a hurry.

"Who among you knows Khitan?"

"show me."

Ao Tianlong reached out and took it.

"Evil witch, Xiao Gu harmed me."

This simple sentence explains the cause of the queen's death.

"It turns out that he was killed by the witch Xiao Gu. Xiao Gu was really cruel. How many people did she kill?"

The more Uncle Jiu thought about it, the angrier he became. This woman acted too recklessly.

"Master, who knows what is involved between them."

Lu Li even suspected that this might be a complicated love triangle.

Otherwise, why would Xiao Gu torture the queen like this?

None of this has anything to do with why they are here.

At most, it was like eating a bite of ancient melon.

The problem of the hollow ghost willow was successfully solved, and everyone could finally move forward.

But this delay lasted another day.

Although the Maoshan disciples did not participate in the battle, they looked haggard after walking such a long distance.

Let's just rest here.

At this time, the moon was already high in the sky outside.

But in this cave it is impossible to distinguish between day and night.

They can only rest based on their instinctive judgment, just like Hua Lingshi Shaojian and other Maoshan disciples.

After eating and drinking, I started to take a nap.

Shi Jian and Uncle Jiu did not wake them up either.

Lu Li whispered a few words to the two of them and then went forward alone to explore the way.

Without the restraints of others, Lu Li unfolded his skills.

Like a blue lightning flashing forward.

After a while, they arrived at the entrance of the altar.

The view suddenly widened, and there was a cliff in front of me. Looking down from the edge of the cliff, it was pitch black and I couldn't see the bottom at all.

A stone bridge three to four hundred meters long connects the cliffs.

This cliff is full of traces of artificial excavation.

It seems that it was built for this purpose.

No one knows how many mountains Emperor Muzong of Liao hollowed out in order to build such a large tomb.

How much manpower and resources were spent.

It was possible to hollow out a mountain range and then carve out several more large mountains out of thin air.

Lu Li came to the stone bridge.

I saw a monument standing next to it with the words "Wangtian Bridge" written on it.

Lu Li didn't understand how he could see the sky from here, as he was now inside a cave.

Lu Li walked onto the stone bridge. The bridge was very stable and felt solid when he stepped on it.

There are no mechanisms or anything like that on it.

Walk to the middle of the bridge.

Lu Li looked to the side and saw a scene that shocked him.

Looking from this unique angle, there stands a majestic and magnificent mountain that is beyond imagination!

According to his rough estimate, the height of this mountain is at least hundreds of meters, or even higher!

The mountain peak is blocked by the cliff and can only be seen from this angle.

"No wonder it's called Wangtian Bridge. It seems that's where Emperor Muzong of Liao was buried."

After walking across the stone bridge to another cliff, the mountain peak was blocked again.

This cliff, like the previous one, had a cave carved out to be used as a tomb chamber.

Lu Li went inside and took a look.

Gold, silver and jewelry were spread all over the floor, placed so casually.

The boxes didn't even have lids closed.

Pearls and agates are available.

Even though it was dark now, Lu Li felt as if he was blinded.

Another stone door appeared in front, which seemed to be the tomb chamber for the buried people.

Lu Li did not open it but returned to the place where everyone in Maoshan was resting.

"How is Xiaoli? Where is ahead?"

Uncle Jiu asked when he saw Lu Li coming back.

"The apse where the funerary objects are placed is just ahead."

The two of them sat down by the fire. Except for Uncle Nine and the disciple who was on night watch, everyone else had gone to bed.

Shi Jian and Ao Tianlong were sitting cross-legged in meditation on the other side.

"Xiao Li, after coming here I realized that there are always people better than you.

So after I finish this matter with you, I plan to return to Maoshan to practice well. "

Lu Li was stunned after hearing this. This was not like Uncle Jiu's style.

"Master, are you hiding something from me?"

Uncle Jiu originally wanted to give Lu Li a surprise, but he didn't expect him to reveal it in one sentence.

I simply stopped hiding it.

"Master feels that he is about to reach the half-step golden elixir realm you mentioned."

Lu Li also became happy after hearing this. It has been a while since Uncle Jiu broke through to the late stage of foundation building.

This time, we are finally going to break through.

"Congratulations, Master. We at Maoshan will have another Jindan Zhenren."

To be honest, there is no sect that has more than two Jindan Zhenren at present.

Didn’t you see that even in the Tianshi Mansion, only the old Tianshi and the current Tianshi are in the Jindan stage?

Half-step Golden Elixir is currently walking sideways in the spiritual world.

Nowadays, Jindan Zhenren rarely appear in the world.

In other words, Lu Li was young and couldn't sit still, so he ran around the world.

Most of the other Jindan Zhenren were in seclusion in their sects.

I generally don't go out unless it's important.

The two chatted for a while and had to travel again tomorrow.

Lu Li asked Uncle Jiu to go and have a rest, and he replaced the disciple who was on night watch and sat by the fire to meditate.

With Lu Li's current level of cultivation, meditation can replace sleeping.

But Lu Li still likes the feeling of sleeping, unless he is out.

Otherwise, he usually sleeps until he wakes up naturally.

The night passed.

The sky outside gradually turned pale.

Lu Li opened his eyes and washed them with clean water.

Seeing that everyone was still sleeping, Lu Li did not disturb them.

Instead, he built a fire and cooked a big pot of noodles.

Uncle Jiu was lured awake by the aroma of noodles.

As soon as he sat up, he saw Lu Li sitting on a rock, eating noodles with a bowl in his hand and panting heavily.

Uncle Jiu suddenly felt even hungrier, and without hesitation he filled a big bowl.

Sitting by the fire, he began to eat with a slurp.

For a moment, the cave was filled with the sound of people slurping noodles.

"In this kind of scene, it's really enjoyable to eat a mouthful of hot soup noodles."

Uncle Jiu patted his stomach in satisfaction after finishing a bowl of soup.

"Brother Lin, you won't lose anything as long as you take Lu Li with you."

Ao Tianlong saw how much Lu Li took away from the inn, including all kinds of seasonings.

He even saw Lu Li take away a complete set of tables and chairs.

Now he even doubted whether there was a bed in the room where Lu Li had lived before.

"That's right. It's a relief to work with my nephew."

Shi Jian and Lu Li had lived together in Chuan Mansion, and Lu Li had served him very well at that time.

From then on, Shi Jian's impression of Lu Li became better and better.

You basically don’t need to prepare anything when going out with Lu Li.

He will arrange it for you.

After dinner, the group continued on their journey.

After walking out of the cave, everyone's eyes suddenly opened up.

This turned out to be a cliff, with a bottomless canyon in front.

And above this canyon, there is actually a stone bridge built out of thin air, connecting the cliffs on both sides.

“Master, this endless mountain range before we came in now seems to have been basically hollowed out.

There are even mountains built inside.

You can see that this canyon is also full of traces of axe carving.”

Lu Li pointed at the mountain opposite and said.

"Why did Emperor Muzong of Liao indulge in so many extravagant things?"

Uncle Jiu really couldn't figure it out, so it was enough to just choose a good location for the cemetery.

You have to do so many tricks.

"Master, you don't understand this. What they want is to ascend to heaven after death."

Uncle Jiu shook his head. Is it so easy to become an immortal?

He has been practicing for decades, but has yet to achieve immortality.

Wangtian Bridge, this name is interesting.

Everyone climbed onto the bridge and looked down from the bridge. The pitch-black darkness made people feel weak under their feet.

Fortunately, this is inside a cave and there is no wind, otherwise the timid ones would have fallen down.

"what is that?"

Shi Shaojian pointed in a direction and said.

When everyone looked in that direction, they saw a tall mountain appear in their sight.

Pavilions and towers can be vaguely seen on the top of the mountain.
