Chapter 189: The Nine Yin True Scripture on the stone walls!
Li Mochou naturally knew about the Ancient Tomb Sect's rules.
But she also knew that the reason the Ancient Tomb Sect forbade men from stepping into the tomb was mainly because of the history between Lin Lin Chaoying and Wang Wang Chongyang.
After all, the second rule of the Ancient Tomb Sect was to spit on Wang Wang Chongyang's portrait.
If it were really as Jiang Chen said,
and the Nine Yin True Scripture was indeed carved on the stone walls inside the tomb, then this would actually be a good thing for the Ancient Tomb Sect.
Compared to the Nine Yin True Scripture,
the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra was merely a technique to counter the Quanzhen Sect.
However, the Nine Yin True Scripture could counter all the martial arts in the world; there was no need to say which was stronger.
Li Mochou believed that
even if her Master came out of seclusion and found out about this, she would certainly not blame her and her Junior Sister.
Even if Master comes out of seclusion by then and finds out about this, he certainly won't blame me or Junior Sister.
Furthermore...
With her and Xiaolongnu's strength, if Jiang Chen were to force his way in, the two of them would not be able to stop him at all, especially with the Quanzhen Sect as a precedent.
"Sen... Young Master, will you keep your word?"
Li Mochou looked at Jiang Chen and said earnestly: "If there is no Nine Yin True Scripture in the Ancient Tomb, you will agree to do one thing for us?"
"Naturally."
Jiang Chen smiled lightly: "As long as it does not violate morality, anything is fine. For example... taking you to the Quanzhen Sect to demand an explanation from that old Daoist priest Wang Wang Chongyang for your Grandmaster."
Although he was at the foot of the mountain just now,
with his strength in the Immortal Realm, he naturally heard what Xiaolongnu and Li Mochou had said earlier.
Sure enough,
upon hearing Jiang Chen's words,
Xiaolongnu and Li Mochou were both startled, then showed expressions of pleasant surprise.
Although they didn't know exactly what realm Jiang Chen was in,
since he could injure Quanzhen disciples within the Quanzhen Sect and still retreat unscathed, his strength would at least not be weaker than their Master's.
The two of them knew their Master's strength.
Although not as powerful as the Five Greats of the Great Song,
her strength had already reached the peak of the Swaying Realm.
And this time, the other party was in seclusion to break through to the Great Carefree Realm.
In the Quanzhen Sect,
the only ones who had reached the Great Carefree Realm were Wang Wang Chongyang and Zhou Zhou Botong.
"In that case, Young Master, please follow us."
Li Mochou glanced at Xiaolongnu and said with a smile: "If we don't find the Nine Yin True Scripture later, I hope Young Master will not break his promise."
After saying this,
Li Mochou took the lead and walked into the Ancient Tomb.
Seeing this, Jiang Chen
smiled and followed.
Xiaolongnu followed closely by Jiang Chen's side.
Clearly,
although they had agreed to let Jiang Chen enter the Ancient Tomb, the two of them were still somewhat uneasy.
"Although your Ancient Tomb Sect's Jade Maiden Heart Sutra is a top-tier technique, it has far too many restrictions."
Jiang Chen said to them with a smile: "After we find the Nine Yin True Scripture later, you might as well change your technique. After all, one lives but once; you cannot be trapped on Mount Mount Zhongnan for your entire life."
"Young Master actually knows about the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra?"
Xiaolongnu looked at Jiang Chen in surprise, then smiled gently: "The Jade Maiden Heart Sutra was passed down by our founder, after all; it's not something one can just change. Besides, even if we wanted to change, we would need Master's approval."
"As the number one martial city in the world, Snow Moon City, although located in the Northern Li Dynasty, has records in our Library Pavilion of affairs in other dynasties, and your Ancient Tomb Sect is naturally among them."
Jiang Chen explained with a smile:
"After all, your founder Lin Lin Chaoying was considered a top-tier martial arts expert in the Great Song Dynasty; even Huang Huang Yaoshi and Hong Hong Qigong, who are currently among the Five Greats of the Great Song, are slightly inferior to Lin Lin Chaoying."
"Young Master, are you so certain that the Nine Yin True Scripture is in the Ancient Tomb?"
Just then,
Li Mochou also turned back and smiled:
"To be honest, Junior Sister and I have lived in the Ancient Tomb for over a decade. We can say we know everything inside like the back of our hands. Let alone the Nine Yin True Scripture being carved on the walls, we could even point out every single scratch on these walls for you."
Since she had already let Jiang Chen in,
Li Mochou naturally hoped that it was as Jiang Chen said and the Nine Yin True Scripture was indeed carved on the walls.
"You will know in a moment."
Jiang Chen smiled indifferently, then looked at a portrait hanging on the wall to the side: "Is this person Wang Wang Chongyang?"
"Does Young Master want to spit on it?"
Li Mochou raised an eyebrow and said with a smile: "According to our Ancient Tomb Sect's rules, everyone who enters the Ancient Tomb must spit on Wang Wang Chongyang's portrait..."
Looking at the slightly expectant eyes of Li Mochou and Xiaolongnu,
Jiang Chen smiled and shook his head: "I am not a member of your Ancient Tomb Sect, so let's skip that."
Xiaolongnu and Li Mochou looked at each other, feeling somewhat helpless.
Jiang Chen was indeed right.
Spitting on Wang Wang Chongyang's portrait was indeed something every Ancient Tomb Sect disciple had to do upon entering the sect.
But now, although Jiang Chen had entered the Ancient Tomb,
he was not a disciple of the Ancient Tomb Sect, which was something that had never happened before.
"However..."
Jiang Chen looked at the two and suddenly smiled: "This portrait is a bit in the way. I'll move it aside first."
As soon as he finished speaking,
he flicked his sleeve.
At the same time,
Wang Wang Chongyang's portrait fell directly from the wall and dropped to the side.
"Young Master, you...?"
Xiaolongnu and Li Mochou looked at Jiang Chen in astonishment.
They weren't blaming Jiang Chen for moving the portrait; after all, they had no affection for Wang Wang Chongyang at all, let alone a mere painting.
They were just puzzled as to why he had suddenly taken action against Wang Wang Chongyang's portrait.
Facing their confusion,
Jiang Chen did not explain, but smiled and signaled for them to wait a moment.
Immediately after,
he reached out his arm and tapped the stone wall lightly with his palm.
Accompanied by a dull thud,
countless tiny stone fragments and powder fell from the wall where Wang Wang Chongyang's portrait had been.
Subsequently,
in the astonished gaze of Xiaolongnu and Li Mochou, lines of text slowly appeared.
Nine Yin True Scripture, Volume One.
The Way of Heaven, to diminish the excess and supplement the deficiency; thus, the void overcomes the solid, the insufficient...
