Chapter 115: Three Lives And Three Worlds, Abode Of The Heavenly God
Su Mo listened and couldn’t help but smile knowingly, reaching out his hand to hold Xue Li Yang’s.
Xue Li Yang’s hand was held by him, and her face immediately bloomed with a joyful and happy smile.
Women are like this, always liking this kind of occasional unintentional little romance, even the heroic Xue Li Yang couldn’t escape it.
Before this, she had never held hands with Su Mo.
But at this moment, after the two held hands and walked past, she felt her heart full of sweet joy, as if she had just received a promise for three lives three worlds!
Behind them, Hu Ba Yi and Wang Pang Zi saw the two holding hands as they walked past the Three Lives Bridge, and couldn’t help but grin and wink with laughter.
Only Zhang Qiling remained expressionless, as if everything in this mortal world had little to do with him, and he had little interest.
Three lives three worlds, to him, was just another cycle of reincarnation!
Soon, several people walked past the Three Lives Bridge, but the next scene made them all stunned.
In the tomb chamber ahead, there were actually three coffins arranged in a triangular formation: one was a bronze coffin suspended several feet off the ground by iron chains as thick as a child’s arm, one had coffin boards about eight inches thick, pitch-black like charcoal with extremely dense and tough wood texture of yin chen wood coffin, and the third was a Jiaoshi Coffin entirely gleaming white!
Wang Pang Zi saw this scene, couldn’t help but widen his eyes, his face slightly paling:
“Good grief, bronze coffin, Yinzi Coffin, if your birth characters aren’t tough don’t come near, these three coffins have gathered all the sinister coffins!”
What he said was exactly the proverb often quoted by Mojin School Lieutenants.
Bronze coffin, Yinzi Coffin, if your birth characters aren’t tough don’t come near.
Man lights the candle, ghost blows out the lamp, when the rooster crows and the lamp goes out don’t tomb raid.
These were all rules passed down among Mojin School Lieutenants for thousands of years.
This bronze coffin was usually used to seal corpses that had already undergone corpse transformation, and the one in front of them, forged from bronze and tightly locked with eight arm-thick iron chains, clearly had a corpse inside that had transformed.
Additionally, the other Yinzi Coffin, also called yin chen wood, came from pitch-black strange trees in deep mountains and old forests that never saw sunlight year-round; corpses buried in such wood could remain undecayed and intact for millions of years.
And the third coffin was a Jiaoshi Coffin, which also had its own peculiarities.
Usually in ancient times, such stone coffins were used to bury criminals, whose corpses had often suffered extreme torture before death; such dead often had deep grudges in life and unextinguished resentment after death.
The three coffins in this tomb chamber were all top-tier sinister coffins that Mojin School Lieutenants turned pale at the mention of!
Therefore, Fatty was greatly shocked upon seeing these three coffins.
Hu Ba Yi laughed beside him:
“Commander Wang, how come the more you mix around, the smaller your courage gets? I actually appreciate your old fearless ignorance more!”
Wang Pang Zi gave a dry laugh:
“Isn’t this all taught by you, Commander Hu? Feels like you used to scare me with these things, and now you’re mocking me!”
Hu Ba Yi said:
“Didn’t I teach you another one: red-clothed sinister, smiling corpse, ghost laugh is worse than ghost cry? Didn’t we hear it in the Immortal Gathering Hall before? We’ve seen terrifying things like Gu People, killed the Huo Clan Undying Worm, what are you afraid of with three coffins!”
Wang Pang Zi couldn’t help but flush red, then grabbed his entrenching tool and loudly declared:
“Whoever’s scared is a grandson, it’s just one bronze coffin! Watch Fatty open it right now!”
He had just raised the entrenching tool when Su Mo stopped him:
“Don’t open it!”
Wang Pang Zi was stunned:
“Master, you’re afraid there’s a zombie inside too?”
Su Mo shook his head:
“There is a zombie inside, but there’s no need to open it at all, because none of the coffins here contain Xian Wang, they’re all his substitutes!”
“Substitutes?”
Hu Ba Yi and the others were all stunned.
Su Mo turned back to glance at the Three Lives Bridge and said:
“Everything arranged here has purpose; if you look outward from here from Xian Wang’s perspective, you’ll understand!”
Hu Ba Yi and the others were stunned for a moment, then turned to face the direction of the Three Lives Bridge. After pondering for a while, Hu Ba Yi suddenly slapped his thigh:
“I get it!”
“If these are three substitutes of Xian Wang, then he’s using three people born in the same year, month, and day as himself, buried here to walk the three lives three worlds for him. That’s why the Heavenly Gate outside has a ascension opening left!”
“He’s borrowing these three dead people to sever all his mortal ties for himself, then withdrawing to become an immortal!”
Wang Pang Zi also understood, gritting his teeth:
“This old bastard really has plenty of twists and turns; in the end, he’s just gone mad wanting to become an immortal!”
Xue Li Yang couldn’t help but frown:
“Since none of these three coffins contain Xian Wang’s true body, then where is his coffin?”
Su Mo gave a cold smile, suddenly reached out and grabbed one of the iron chains suspending the bronze coffin, then yanked hard.
Boom!
The copper beam on the tomb roof was instantly yanked off by him, revealing the white tomb roof above, with a pile of white quartz rock crashing down.
Zhang Qiling raised his Wolf Eye Flashlight and shone it at the spot where Su Mo had pulled the copper beam, only to see a black hole exposed above.
Clearly, there was space above!
Hu Ba Yi was startled:
“So there’s actually a tomb chamber above!”
“More than that!”
Su Mo sneered:
“There’s also a tomb chamber below. The position we’re in is actually just the middle layer tomb chamber, forming upper, middle, and lower three layers with the one above. This is all the layout Xian Wang arranged for becoming an immortal. There are some things inside, but our time is limited; there’s really no need to delay here!”
Hu Ba Yi pondered for a moment and said:
“I understand. Xian Wang not only used three corpses as substitutes buried here to walk the three lives three worlds and redeem his mortal sins for him, but also arranged upper, middle, and lower three layer tomb chambers, representing Heaven, the human world, and Hell!”
“Since the place we’re standing is the middle layer tomb chamber, then the upper layer tomb chamber is…”
Su Mo nodded with a slight smile:
“Abode of the heavenly gods!”
With that, he swung his sword with a wave of his hand, severing one iron chain, threw it directly into the broken hole opened in the upper layer, then held the iron chain and jumped through the hole to the upper layer.
Hu Ba Yi and the others hurriedly climbed up along the iron chain upon seeing this.
Upon arriving above, they saw it was actually a huge circular cavity, over ten meters in diameter, with a slope spiraling upward along the edge, and the four walls carved with countless majestic heavenly gods.
Under the Wolf Eye glow, countless heavenly gods stood tall, their pairs of eyes emitting divine light, appearing soul-seizing.
“It really is the abode of the heavenly gods!”
Wang Pang Zi exclaimed.
Su Mo said gravely:
“The eyes in these portraits are made of fluorite, and combined with the painting, they have a soul-bewitching effect. Everyone just keep your head down and walk; do not look directly at their portraits!”
Wang Pang Zi was already somewhat dazed by then, snapped awake by a slap from Hu Ba Yi, realizing he had unconsciously become muddled just from looking at the heavenly god portraits!
