Uncle Jiu's Senior Brother

Lu Li opened the protective magic shield and attached it to his body to prevent the miasma from invading.

After landing on the ground, he observed for a while and extended his spiritual sense into the cave, but found nothing unusual.

Then he walked in.

The cave is spacious enough to accommodate hundreds of people.

In such a large space, Lu Li only saw rows of bookshelves for storing bamboo slips.

His eyes lit up immediately, these were good stuff.

As a person from the future, he knew too well the importance of knowledge.

This is the foundation for a sect to be passed down.

But he didn't expect that as soon as his hand touched a bamboo slip, it turned into dust.

It seems that the bamboo slips have rotted because they have been stored for too long.

Lu Li couldn't help but feel heartbroken.

Because he saw the name written on the outside of the bamboo slips was "Golden Light Steps".

This was clearly a light-weight martial art, but it was destroyed right before his eyes.

Turning his head, Lu Li saw several bamboo slips on the bookshelf with the words "Medicine Classic" written on them.

He dare not act rashly this time.

I stood there thinking for a long time.

Decided to give it a try.

Lu Li carefully used his magic power to wrap up the bamboo slips.

Then he slowly used his magic power to penetrate the bamboo slips and finally reshaped them.

It was just a few scrolls of bamboo slips, but Lu Li was busy for half an hour.

Finally a smile appeared on his face.

Although it took a lot of effort, it was all worth it.

"It's done! Haha!"

Lu Li carefully unfolded the bamboo slips, on which were vivid paintings of various plants.

Below is also the time when these plants can be used as medicine.

And introduce its habits.

It even introduces what symptoms the medicine can cure.

Although the names of many diseases have changed over the years, the symptoms have not changed.

Lu Li, who had some knowledge of medicine, could tell at a glance that the contents of the bamboo slips were all true.

"nice one!"

Lu Li carefully put the bamboo slips into the storage talisman.

Turning around, I looked at the other large bookshelves here.

There are at least hundreds of bamboo slips on it, all of which are treasures.

In fact, their value is not less than that of the Zhuochen Pearls.

I don't know who put it here.

However, Lu Li thought that this was King Xian’s territory. Could it be that he stored it here?

King Xian himself was also a person who understood cultivation.

There was no way he didn't know the importance of these bamboo slips.

This is the outskirts of King Xian's tomb. I don't know what he is thinking.

Isn't it just left here waiting for someone to take it away?

Lu Li took a quick look and found that some of it contained Taoist scriptures and alchemy techniques.

Others are various magic techniques.

A protective barrier was set up on the bookshelf.

Lu Li walked inside.

Because Chen Yulou and the others are still in the mountain temple.

Now is obviously not the time to sort out these bamboo slips.

It will still be in time for me to deal with it after I send Chen Yulou and the others back.

At this time, a fork in the road appeared in front of him. Lu Li looked at it and chose the road on the left first.

Not long after he walked, another cave appeared before him.

There are stone tables, stone benches and even a stone bed inside the cave.

It looks like someone has lived here for a long time.

Lu Li looked at the thick dust on the stone table.

I guess this person hasn't been back for a long time.

Lu Li wondered if this person was King Xian.

Then he rejected the idea.

How could a man like King Xian live such a hermit-like life?

Seeing that there was nothing noteworthy here, Lu Li returned to the fork in the road.

Went to the right.

There is also a cave here, and light is coming out.

As soon as he reached the cave entrance, he was shocked by the scene before him.

"This is?"

This cave is not smaller than the one where the bamboo slips are kept.

There are several luminous pearls on the top of the cave, illuminating the entire cave as bright as day.

But even so, Lu Li wouldn't be that surprised.

The key is that the ground of the cave is densely covered with various runes.

The rune is dark brown overall, even after thousands of years.

The smell of blood still rushed into Lu Li's nostrils.

Even though Lu Li was an orthodox Taoist descendant, he did not understand the meaning of these rune marks.

All the runes finally gathered on a stone platform in the middle of the cave.

There, an old man in Taoist robes was sitting cross-legged on a cushion.

The dry face and the still chest indicated that the old man had died long ago.

He was covered in dust, but his face looked as if he had died peacefully.

A worn-out bag of gossip was placed next to him.

Lu Li was very cautious and did not go near him, nor did he even step into the cave.

Because he was not sure if there was any mechanism set up.

What if the entire cave collapses as soon as he goes in?

There are still hundreds of his bamboo slips outside.

Standing at the entrance of the cave, Lu Li used his magic power to pull the bag over.

Then he opened it and saw an eight-diagram compass inside.

A seal, loose copper coins and some things written on animal skin.

Lu Li picked up the seal and saw the words "Grand Historian's Seal" engraved in seal script on it.

The Grand Historian?

Lu Li was well-versed in Taoist classics, so he naturally knew what the position of Tai Shi Shi Zhao was.

This was the department in the Han Dynasty that was in charge of feng shui, climate observation, calendar calculation, and divination of good and bad luck.

It is similar to the work that the Imperial Observatory was responsible for in later dynasties.

But he is an official, how could he die here?

Lu Li turned over the animal skin.

After a moment, he looked at the body of the man in front of him with a sigh.

I also understand why he died in there in such a strange way.

This man's name was Fan Mingzi, and his school had always been on good terms with the Han court.

They often sent disciples to join the court, and the Han Dynasty never treated them unfairly.

All of them were granted the post of Grand Historian and Imperial Assistant.

Don't underestimate this position. Due to the limitations of the times, Taoism had a great influence on the imperial court at that time.

Later, the Emperor of Han asked King Xian for the Zhuchen Pearl.

As a result, when King Xian found out, he took the Zhuchen Pearl and some of the people and migrated.

This caused dissatisfaction among the emperor at that time.

So he sent troops to attack King Xian.

This Fan Mingzi is among them.

He was also one of the Taoists used to resist King Xian's magic.

Then they came here.

At that time, King Xian was obsessed with becoming an immortal and built a huge palace in heaven and King Xian's tomb.

After Fan Mingzi and his men arrived, they went to war with King Xian.

The people brought by King Xian were in trouble. Some died, and some ran away.

However, they did not expect that King Xian, with the Zhuchen Pearl in his hand, would be so powerful.

Even though his army was weaker than theirs, he turned the tide of the battle single-handedly.

In the end, almost all the soldiers and generals brought by Fan Mingzi and his men were killed.

Even the Taoists who came to help were killed one after another by King Xian's powerful crystal eyes and Zhuchen beads.

Fortunately, they also seriously injured King Xian and trapped him in King Xian's tomb.

Later, King Xian tried to break out several times but was repelled by Fan Mingzi and his men.

Since then, King Xian has been silent.

To prevent him from escaping.

Fan Mingzi and several seriously injured Taoists were guarding in the Insect Valley.

And sent the surviving soldiers to report the news to the court.

But no matter how long they waited, no support came.

Not long after, these injured Taoists died one after another due to exhaustion and severe injuries.

After burying these people.

Fan Mingzi felt that his life was coming to an end.

He used a secret method to carve out this large miasma formation.

Turn yourself into the eye of the formation.

The purpose was to seal off the tomb of King Xian and prevent the people in the tomb from leaving.

Those bamboo slips were left behind by the dead Taoists, and Fan Mingzi couldn't bear to have their hard work buried with them.

They were sorted into different categories and left in the cave.

Only then did Lu Li understand why King Xian’s cultivation was so strong.

But he died inexplicably.

Although the realm of the monks at that time was different from now.

But the end result is the same, which is to cultivate oneself.

With King Xian's level, there is no problem living for a thousand or eight hundred years.

But he looked to be only about a hundred years old when he died.

He had long suspected that something was wrong here.

I didn't expect that I would be seriously injured.

This explains why he sealed his son in a bronze coffin.

A man like him would be crazy if he knew he was going to die.

Will try every possible way to find a way to survive.

He was also gambling that he could become an immortal.

It seems he lost the bet.

Lu Li and their arrival ruined his plan.
