Chapter 193: Secret Realm of Snow Fox King's Mausoleum

Cheng Bai looked from afar, and was shocked: "Another door of choice, so spectacular."

Huang Yunzi's eyes flickered. He was used to a life of luxury, and even if he had hidden support, he was unwilling to take risks easily. He hesitated and said, "It is rumored that this is the entrance to the underground mausoleum of the Snow Fox Country, and it is usually not open."

Yingying said, "You know a lot, that's why I came here now. The gate of the Snow Fox King's Mausoleum will only be open for three quarters of an hour from the beginning of the evening hour, and will be closed again after that time."

Huang Yunzi said: "I have been asking around for a few days, but I still don't know there is a time limit."

Yingying blinked and said, "The skin of the Kui Niu is hidden in the secret hall of the sect. This treasure cannot be stored anywhere else."

Huang Yunzi probed into the Mountain and River Spirit Map with his spiritual consciousness, and communicated with the two ancient gods about what he saw and thought. He said with some hesitation: "The Snow Fox King's Tomb is a forbidden place in the country. It is extremely mysterious and unpredictable. I can't find out the truth."

Bone King said: "The Fiery Flame Sect has been in business for a long time, can't you even touch the door?"

Huang Yunzi said: "The ancestral branch extended to Yinsheng City for the convenience of transactions. The royal mausoleum is kept secret, and both the Beiling Sword Sect and the Snow Fox Royal Family avoid talking about it."

Shan Liu urged, "Just go in and come out within three quarters of an hour."

Yingying giggled and moved lightly through the gap in the stone gate. The dark and deep underworld road vaguely emerged.

Huang Yunzi described what he saw in detail. Bone Emperor, who was staying in the Mountain and River Spirit Control Map, said impatiently, "It's just the Netherworld Road. It's okay to go there. We, the seniors, are capable of protecting you."

Cheng Bai took a step forward and stepped into the door. The space twisted and he traveled to a deep space. In the dim light paved with moonstone, he was in an enclosed area like an abyss.

The surrounding scene is breathtaking. The underground palace is shaped like an inverted pyramid. The layers of stairs extend downward in circles along the edge of the wall. It looks like a huge square pit stretching before your eyes, with a faint light shining through the darkness at the bottom.

Looking up, there was no sun, and the sky above was covered with dark fog, as thick as ink. The whole world seemed like an isolated, silent grave, with only the sound of one's own breathing echoing in one's ears, which was frightening.

Yingying was as light as a kitten. She waved at Chengbai, signaling him to follow.

Cheng Bai looked back and saw Huang Yunzi quietly walking out of the dark and narrow door.

"The Snow Fox King's Tomb is said to have existed for hundreds of thousands of years. It is actually a small secret world, and the great secret of the Beiling Sword Sect is buried inside."

After Huang Yunzi finished speaking, he looked around for traces of the treasure.

Unfortunately, the only thing that can be called a treasure is the moonstone used for lamps. There are nothing but coffins around, which are embedded in the walls of the mausoleum one by one. They are not placed on the ground. Looking up from the bottom of the abyss, it seems like they are on a high cliff. The burial method is weird.

Cheng Bai asked curiously, "Hanging coffins? Why did they build the mausoleum this way? The project is so troublesome."

Huang Yunzi said: "The residence of the earthly immortals, ascending to heaven is like a dream. Immortality, reincarnation and rebirth."

Cheng Bai wondered, "Will this work?"

Yingying walked in front and chuckled, "It's not that mysterious. They just want to be different and die in a superior way."

The three of them walked quickly along the sloping stairs. Countless coffins flew past them. The further they went down, the smaller the area became, but the light of the moonstone became stronger and stronger.

Cheng Bai secretly counted the floors: "One, two, three... thirteenth floor."

The winding stairs suddenly ended, and I stepped on the flat ground. The ancient stone bricks were mottled and the view in front of me suddenly opened up.

The space at the bottom was much wider than expected, and the light was brighter. Unpolished, bright, and slightly glowing moonstone materials were piled up everywhere. It turned out that this was once a moonstone mine.

In the center of the bottom stands a hundred-meter-high stone statue, carved from a whole piece of moonstone. It has spiral hair and a fleshy bun on its head, a simple and deep face, full and beardless, large and fat ears, deep-set eyes that are kind and solemn. It sits upright on a lotus pedestal with a majestic look, and its body radiates light, as if it contains ancient wisdom and profound insight.

Cheng Bai saw that it looked like a Buddha statue and asked, "Is that a statue of Buddha?"

Yingying pretended not to hear and lowered her head.

Huang Yunzi glanced at Cheng Bai, as if looking down on his ignorance, and explained: "This is the highest god of the Shizun religion, 'Acalanatha'. It is said that he is the incarnation of the emperor and the man of destiny. Other sects would not go to great lengths to build similar stone statues. You can tell at a glance."

He was confused after he finished speaking, and murmured, "It seems that this secret tomb originally belonged to the World Honored Sect. Later, it fell into the hands of the Beiling Sword Sect, and was entangled with the Snow Fox Royal Family. The relationship is really complicated."

Cheng Bai thought, "World Honored One? Is this another way of saying Buddha?" He asked, "What does the incarnation of the Emperor mean?"

Huang Yunzi snorted and said, "The Buddha's teachings are about self-promotion, and what they mean is the Great Emperor. For those of us who have achieved enlightenment through cultivation, our fate is determined by our own hands, so why should we rely on faith in others?"

He had not come to see the stone statue, and could not help asking, "We have come to the end, where is the skin of the Kui Niu? Where is it hidden?"

Yingying said, "It's right below the statue of the Buddha."

Huang Yunzi looked closely and saw that the stone statue of the Immovable Buddha was sitting cross-legged on a lotus seat with his right foot, his right hand resting on his right knee, his slender fingers lightly touching the lotus seat, his left hand was in a Dharma protector seal as if picking up a flower, and his left foot was lightly stepping on a huge stone drum under the seat.

The drum was not entirely carved from moonstone. The surface was covered with a layer of green animal skin. After many years, the ancient and majestic leather still retained its charm.

Huang Yunzi was overjoyed and took a few steps forward. Just as he was about to take the skin, he suddenly stopped and questioned, "Why is the drum placed here? No, there is a problem. The statue of the Immovable Buddha has his hands in a seal, with the left hand protecting the Dharma and the right hand conquering demons, and his feet are stepping on the stone drum. It is clearly used to suppress evil spirits. What is sealed here?"

Cheng Bai asked casually, "Is the spirit of Kui Niu sealed?"

Yingying played with the ends of her hair with her fingers and said in a tender voice, "I don't know. The royal treasures are all here, who will move them?"

Cheng Bai looked around. The huge amount of moonstone was indeed valuable. The drum made from the skin of Kui Niu must be a treasure. There must be a large number of burial objects in the many coffins.

Huang Yunzi's consciousness once again probed into the Mountain and River Spirit Map and talked to the two old monsters: "The statue of the Immovable Buddha is hidden deep in the secret realm of the Snow Fox King's Tomb. It is definitely not that simple. In my opinion, it is used to suppress evil spirits."

Bone King asked curiously, "What kind of evil spirit is this?"

Huang Yunzi had no clue, so he followed Cheng Bai's words and said, "Some people speculate that it is the spirit of Kuiniu's dead soul, but we can't be sure."

Shan Liu laughed and said, "If I could take the essence of Kui Niu into the Immortal Map and use it for my own benefit, wouldn't that be exactly what I want? Go and take off the skin."

Bone Emperor urged, "With the Immortal Weapon in hand, you are invincible. Are you still afraid of wolves in front and tigers behind? Time waits for no one, go quickly."

With the support of two old monsters, Huang Yunzi remained calm. He strode forward and, relying on his years of experience in refining equipment, he took off the skin of the Kuiniu.

At first contact, it was impossible to shake it.

As a master of weapon refining, Huang Yunzi is confident of his profound skills and rich experience.

He first used traditional methods, condensed his true energy at his fingertips, and made hand gestures, hoping to use his powerful magic to remove the skin of the Kuiniu. However, the stone drum was not moved at all.

Huang Yunzi was not discouraged. It was certainly not easy to obtain high-end treasures.

He took a deep breath of true energy, adjusted himself to the best condition, and then used more powerful methods, gathering his magic power into sharp sword energy, trying to cut through the skin of the Kuiniu through the gap.

The result was disappointing. The stone drum was flawless. The sword energy hit the leather surface, causing only slight ripples before disappearing without a trace.

Huang Yunzi tried various methods again and again, circulating his true energy to continuously increase his magic power. He used all his skills until his face turned red, but he still failed to remove the skin of the Kuiniu, and the stone drum remained perfect.

The master of weapon refining pondered for a long time without any result, and was greatly embarrassed.

Yingying giggled when she saw this.

Huang Yunzi was quite embarrassed, and tried to save face by saying, "This treasure was made by an ancient weapon refiner, who might have been a master who had reached the level of an emperor. He has many restrictions and mysteries to use. Compared to the senior masters, I am far behind them."

Cheng Bai asked Yingying, "Senior, do you know how to take the skin?"

Yingying said seriously: "Call me Yingying."

Cheng Bai felt a little embarrassed, so he had to ask humbly: "Sister Yingying, how do I take off the skin of the Kui Niu?"

Yingying said: "Apply the blood of a human male to it. If the Yuan Yang Qi is sufficient, the skin of the Kui Niu can be easily peeled off."
