#232 - Severe humiliation
As soon as these words came out, everyone instantly understood.
The destinations that the Second-Rank senior had gone to all contained treasures.
Either they were natural treasures, or the tombs of ancient, top-tier experts.
This couldn't help but confuse people:
"If it were the natural treasures beneath the Tangerine Cliff, it wouldn't be too difficult to find, after all, two experts have already died fighting over them."
"If the Second-Rank senior had good intelligence, it would be understandable for him to go there."
"But this ancient tomb at the bottom of the riverbed has remained undiscovered for hundreds of years, how did the Second-Rank senior know about it?"
These words made everyone feel puzzled.
That Second-Rank expert seemed to really know the locations of these treasures in Dongzhou, not only were his goals clear, but he was also always ahead of everyone else.
At this moment.
Zou Ci Feng's expression suddenly sharpened:
"I know how he entered this Tomb of Demonic Sounds!"
After saying that, he didn't wait for everyone to ask and directly flew into the ancient tomb.
Once they knew that these copper bells killed people through sound, then it wouldn't be difficult to crack them.
Zou Ci Feng was indeed a Third-Rank martial artist, and he was the first to guess how Liang Jin had cracked the copper bells.
Zou Ci Feng arrived at the tunnel filled with copper bell chains, he didn't touch the ground and flew up.
Relying on his powerful lightness skill, he was like a fish, constantly passing through the narrow gaps in the chains.
As long as his head could pass, he could fly through.
As for his shoulders, he didn't need to worry at all, he had already mastered the art of bone shrinking in his early years and could easily pass through narrow gaps.
In this way, Zou Ci Feng flew all the way into the tomb chamber.
There were many ways to crack the copper bell formation, but this method was undoubtedly an efficient one.
After flying through the copper bell formation, Zou Ci Feng noticed a line of words engraved on a stone beam at the end:
"Since you have crossed the Copper Bell Formation, you should know a little about the secrets of my martial skills. This is fate. You can take my remaining secrets and inherit my mantle."
After reading it, Zou Ci Feng was overjoyed.
Could it be that there were also secret manuals passed down from the Demonic Sound here?
Since the Demonic Sound had the qualifications to compete for the title of the world's number one, he was probably a First-Rank martial artist from hundreds of years ago.
How could the secret manuals passed down by a First-Rank martial artist be ordinary?
Immediately, Zou Ci Feng rushed into the tomb chamber.
Soon, he also saw the epitaph on the stone wall, which finally confirmed that this was indeed the Tomb of Demonic Sounds.
Zou Ci Feng then quickly searched.
But after a long time.
He couldn't help but roar angrily:
"Damn bastard!"
"Leaving only a skeleton for me, everything else has been looted!"
"Those who seek wildly in my tomb and disrespect me will not obtain my true inheritance. Only those who piously kowtow a hundred times on this stone slab and respect my will can activate the mechanism here and obtain my true inheritance."
When Zou Ci Feng saw this, he suddenly understood.
This stone slab was in a dark corner, and it would be difficult to find without careful searching.
That expert with lightness skill was only focused on looting wealth and didn't have time to visit this empty corner, making it difficult to discover the secret here.
After all, Zou Ci Feng himself had been chasing from behind, and that expert with lightness skill had limited time and must have been impatient, thus neglecting the details and leading to missing the most important clue.
"It seems that this is fate!"
"I am the truly destined one!"
When Zou Ci Feng thought that he could immediately obtain the Demonic Sound inheritance, he couldn't help but feel overjoyed.
He immediately knelt down respectfully and kowtowed on the stone slab.
As a descendant, it wasn't shameful to kowtow to the martial arts predecessors.
What's more, the object of his kowtow was a top-tier powerhouse who had shaken the world hundreds of years ago.
"Dong dong dong..."
After kowtowing a hundred times.
Zou Ci Feng immediately stared at the stone slab eagerly, hoping that the mechanism inside could be triggered.
But he waited for a long time, but there was no reaction at all.
"Could it be... that I didn't kowtow hard enough?"
Zou Ci Feng thought it was possible.
The engraving already showed that only pious kowtowing could trigger the mechanism.
How to show piety?
Isn't it just kowtowing hard!
Immediately, Zou Ci Feng seriously kowtowed another hundred times.
After kowtowing, he once again waited expectantly for the mechanism to open.
However.
He waited for a long time, but there was still no movement.
This time, Zou Ci Feng was completely angry:
"What a broken mechanism! Could it be that it has been broken for hundreds of years?"
"It seems that I have to rely on my great martial power to break it open!"
Immediately, Zou Ci Feng stretched out his hand and slammed it into the stone slab, then lifted it up.
This lift was very easy, almost without any effort, he lifted the stone slab.
As if... the stone slab had been loose for a long time.
After the stone slab was lifted, where was the mechanism below?
There was only a layer of glutinous rice lime slurry that had hardened for hundreds of years, which was obviously used to prevent moisture at the bottom of the tomb chamber.
And there were even words engraved on it.
Zou Ci Feng fixed his eyes and saw the following engraved on it:
"Did you enjoy kowtowing? Are you happy?"
"You've been fooled, idiot!"
After reading these words, Zou Ci Feng was stunned, blinking his eyes.
The next second, he completely understood.
These engraved words were all the work of that expert with lightness skill!
He... had been severely humiliated and teased!
At this moment.
Zou Ci Feng's old face suddenly turned red, and then quickly turned into a piece of iron green.
He clenched his teeth tightly, his chest rising and falling rapidly, like a volcano about to erupt.
His face was even blowing his beard and glaring, and sparks seemed to be about to burst out of his round, glaring eyes.
His fists clenched tightly, veins bulging, his hair bristling with rage.
Finally.
He could no longer restrain himself and raised his head, roaring:
"Ah!!!"
"You dog thief!!!"
"How dare you make a fool of this old man!!!"
The newest novels are first published on Liu_9_Shu_Ba!
His roar was deafening like thunder, echoing endlessly within the ancient tomb.
It was as if even collapsing the tomb chamber wouldn't be enough to vent his anger.
........
On the other side.
A tea stall beside an official road.
The tea stall had several square tables and more than ten long benches, catering to travelers passing along the road.
Liang Jin was sitting at one of the tables, sipping tea and flipping through the two secret manuals he had obtained.
Although these two secret manuals were old, they were very well preserved.
Especially since these manuals were not recorded on paper, but on leather, so they could still be read normally even now.
After reading them, Liang Jin couldn't help but sigh inwardly:
"These are actually two Earth-grade secret manuals!"
"That Demon Sound Yue Xuefeng, he truly was a genius!"
These two Earth-grade secret manuals were both created by Yue Xuefeng.
For one person to be able to create an Earth-grade martial art is already worthy of being called a grandmaster.
But this Yue Xuefeng actually created two Earth-grade martial arts all by himself, he was simply a genius among geniuses.
These two Earth-grade secret manuals, one is called 'Phoenix Dance of the Seven Strings', and the other is called 'Immortal Spirit of the Nine Melodies'.
Among them, 'Phoenix Dance of the Seven Strings' mainly relies on the seven-stringed zither to perform, while 'Immortal Spirit of the Nine Melodies' mainly relies on the flute to perform.
Yue Xuefeng searched all over the world and finally found the best zither and the best flute of all time.
That is, the Heavenly Demon Zither and the Emerald Immortal Flute that Liang Jin obtained.
Using these two musical instruments as weapons to perform 'Phoenix Dance of the Seven Strings' and 'Immortal Spirit of the Nine Melodies' can unleash the greatest power.
Liang Jin didn't know whether the Heavenly Demon Zither and the Emerald Immortal Flute could be considered rare treasures.
But seeing that these two musical instruments had been buried underground for so long without even a hint of damage, he knew that they were definitely not ordinary items.
And within 'Phoenix Dance of the Seven Strings' and 'Immortal Spirit of the Nine Melodies', it's not just the two martial arts that are recorded.
The Sound Demon Yue Xuefeng also recorded all of his lifelong research experience on the combination of sound and martial arts.
This is equivalent to explaining the principles clearly.
After understanding the principles, even using ordinary musical instruments, or some special sounds, can produce the effect of attacking enemies through sound.
This also means that people who understand the principles can easily create the kind of copper bells in Yue Xuefeng's tomb that can cause hallucinations.
This is really amazing.
Liang Jin not only learned two Earth-grade martial arts, but can even extend and expand on this basis.
What extent he can achieve depends on Liang Jin's innovative thinking.
"It is said that geniuses are often prone to mental illness."
"According to Yue Xuefeng's description, he really suffered from split personality."
The book describes that Yue Xuefeng often felt that there was an evil self in his body, or that there was a good self in an evil body.
Yue Xuefeng himself could no longer distinguish which of the two was the main body and which was the illusion.
He only felt that his cultivation of sound martial arts had gone seriously awry, which caused him to fail to complete the final step—creating a Heaven-grade martial art!
That's right, Yue Xuefeng had great ambitions and wanted to create the highest level of martial arts in the world, the Heaven-grade martial art!
He wanted to use the human body as a musical instrument to release the strongest sound in the world.
Unfortunately, because he suffered from the torment of another personality in his mind, he failed to create it before his death.
He could only point out the direction for future generations in the book, hoping that future generations could complete his unfinished great cause.
After reading it, Liang Jin didn't intend to inherit this great cause.
He knew his own limitations and knew that he was not that kind of genius.
If he really could meet a musical genius like Yue Xuefeng in the future, then Liang Jin wouldn't mind letting such a genius complete Yue Xuefeng's legacy.
As for whether these two Earth-grade martial arts require a lot of resources and energy to cultivate, Liang Jin was also a little hesitant:
"Me playing musical instruments?"
"Wouldn't it be a bit uncoordinated?"
Liang Jin glanced at the reflection of his body in the water bowl.
A bald, strong man, two meters tall, with a ferocious face, thick arms and legs, and particularly terrifying scars on his face.
At first glance, he doesn't look like someone suitable for making music.
He found it hard to imagine such a fierce humanoid beast running to play the zither, blow the flute, and sing songs.
Isn't this too uncoordinated!
It's a pity that the Heavenly Demon Zither and the Emerald Immortal Flute can't be put into the [Inventory], so they can't be handed over to other clones.
Otherwise, if the handsome and fair Qingzhou clone were to use them, wouldn't he captivate thousands of young girls?
As for the idea of entrusting someone to transport them over, Liang Jin directly rejected it, he didn't feel safe handing over the treasures to others.
While Liang Jin was hesitating, he glanced behind him again:
"Why haven't those people who have been chasing me for two days continued to chase me?"
He had been here reading the secret manuals for a long time, but no one had chased after him.
Even that Third-Rank martial artist was completely gone.
This also made Liang Jin not understand what happened.
"Could it be that they are still trying to find treasures in Yue Xuefeng's tomb?"
"They should have seen the words I left for them."
"Could it be that I teased them so much that they… broke down?"
