Chapter 514 Lingsha is really cultivating immortality!
"My great-grandfather? He caused the trouble?" Han Lingsha was shocked.
Han Qingjin's face changed, his expression was solemn, and he said: "My great-grandfather, Tianyu Gong, was a master of moving mountains and hills. He had superb skills. Even in my Han family, he was a rare genius in a century."
"When Lord Tianyu was young, he met an extraordinary person and obtained the Thunder Spirit Pearl. With the help of the Thunder Spirit Pearl, his tomb-robbing skills became more and more sophisticated. It seems that he went to rob the Tomb of the Gods for one person, but unfortunately, not only did he fail, but after returning home, he became silent and taciturn, as if he had lost his soul. He became weak and sickly and died not long after."
"The notes he left behind recorded the tomb's digging holes and maps, as well as a mention of the artifact Hou Yi's Sun-shooting Bow that seemed to be in the Mausoleum. Other than that, there was no record of why he went to the Mausoleum, how he went there, for whom, or what happened."
"I always feel that there must be a mystery behind Lord Tianyu's robbery of the Fengshen Mausoleum. Unfortunately, Lord Tianyu has been dead for many years, so we, his great-grandchildren, naturally have no way to ask him. Therefore, I can only bury this doubt in my heart silently."
"Now that you, Immortal Ziyin, have reminded me, it seems that the short life of our Han family really started from my great-grandfather's generation. Could it be that my great-grandfather brought out some curse from the Tomb of the Gods?"
Murong Fu said: "It's not a curse. The punishment of the ghost world on your Han family is very clear, because you have a bad moral character. After you die, your Han family will also enter the ghost world to do hard labor."
"This punishment is very severe. It seems that there must be some shameful secret in the Tomb of the Gods, and your great-grandfather discovered this secret, so he was so depressed that he dared not disclose the matter at all."
"You should know that the Mausoleum of the Gods is guarded by the God General Ju Mang from the God Realm, which shows how much importance the God Realm attaches to this place. There must be a very big secret in it, and it is a taboo."
"It is very likely that your great-grandfather violated this taboo and brought such a disaster to your Han family. Otherwise, there are many bad families in this world, and your Han family is not particularly bad among them. So why can others live a long life, but your family has a very short life?"
"For example, the Five Surnames and Seven Famous Family, they did all kinds of bad things, but they were blessed with long lifespans. Your Han family is just a petty thief, while they are the big thieves. You only stole burial objects, while they stole the country's destiny. You can rob the rich to help the poor and do charity, but they are arrogant and extravagant, doing whatever they want."
Today is the Tang Dynasty. The aristocratic families such as the Five Surnames and Seven Families have enormous influence. They even monopolize the imperial examinations and occupy official positions in the court. This is an evil act that directly drains the country's fortune.
These five surnames and seven families were looked down upon even by the Tang Dynasty royal family, and they committed countless evil deeds in their daily lives. This was why Huang Chao's rebel army later massacred them all, because they were too hated by the common people.
The Han family has only had some unfilial descendants in recent years, but on the whole they still abide by the principle of robbing the rich to help the poor. Han Lingsha once helped Jingtian's ancestors and became a creditor of the Jing family.
It is said to be borrowing money, but in fact it is just charity.
It's really like robbing the rich to help the poor.
From Han Lingsha, we can see that the Han family can only be considered as doing shady business, not really evil.
Those Five Surnames and Seven Families who committed numerous evil deeds were able to die of old age, but the Han family who committed tomb robbery all died young, which was obviously not caused by the tomb robbery.
Considering that Han Lingsha's great-grandfather looted the Mausoleum of the Gods and dug a hole in it to explore the terrain inside the Mausoleum of the Gods, it can be seen that this great-grandfather of the Han family may have access to the core secrets of the Mausoleum of the Gods. Although the divine general Ju Mang did not take the great-grandfather of the Han family's life, he returned with a lost soul.
I'm afraid that like Nian Gengyao in later generations, "the gods and ghosts took away your soul", and even the memories related to the core of the Mausoleum of the Gods were taken away. After he came back, he could not remember what happened at the beginning, and only some unimportant things were recorded.
But even things like Houyi's Sun-Shooting Bow are not very important. The truly important things in the Mausoleum of the Gods are probably quite astonishing.
"It seems that this matter is really related to Lord Tianyu." Han Qingjin smiled bitterly, "But a son should not blame his father, let alone his great-grandfather."
Han Lingsha said firmly: "Then we must go and rob our great-grandfather's tomb. First, to find the Thunder Spirit Pearl, and second, to investigate the truth of the matter. In the future, we may have to go to the Tomb of the Gods."
"What? Robbing our own tomb?" Han Qingjin was shocked.
They are a family of tomb robbers, and their own tombs are designed to be very secretive and full of traps.
When the experts built their own tomb, they naturally did their best. No one had ever robbed the Han family's tomb from generation to generation.
Just like when Cao Cao was robbing tombs, he was also an expert in tomb robbing, and he designed his own tomb to be shrouded in mystery, so that people later generations could not find Cao Cao's tomb.
Unexpectedly, the Han family's record of having never been robbed was broken by their own family members. Their descendants used their ancestral skills of finding dragons and dividing gold, and moving mountains and hills to rob their ancestors' tombs. This was truly a sin!
It's very similar to a developer named Yang Yong in later generations who dug up the tomb of Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty while constructing a building. It's really a black humor.
"For the sake of our clan members and the fate of our Han family, we can only be unfilial descendants for once." Han Lingsha's eyes were firm, "Brother, can you bear to see all our clan members die young? And to be disrespectful, this disaster might have been caused by our great-grandfather."
"We just robbed his tomb, which is already filial enough."
Han Qingjin sighed and said, "Whatever, whatever, he probably agrees. After he came back, he was completely lost. If he were awake, he would definitely feel very regretful and want to compensate the family. We are not tomb robbers, we are helping our great-grandfather fulfill his unfulfilled wish."
Murong Fu smiled and said: "As expected of Lingsha's elder brother, he is as smart as Lingsha and knows the art of language very well."
Han Qingjin was young after all, and her face turned red when she heard that.
Murong Fu said, "However, in order to make the operation go smoothly, I suggest that Lingsha become the patriarch of the Han family first, and you become the acting patriarch."
"Now we should establish our authority among the Han family and ask them to stop tomb robbing. Although I don't think tomb robbing is an unforgivable evil, it is still shameful. Your Han family has a lot of savings, so switching to the antique business is a good fit for your profession."
Han Qingjin said: "Okay, I will go to the Han family ancestral hall and gather all the clansmen. Alas, there are not many members of our Han family left. At the peak of our prosperity, there were more than a thousand people in our clan. Now several generations have died young, and there are only more than two hundred people left."
"If Lingsha hadn't met you, Immortal Master, what would have been the fate of our Han family?"
Han Qingjin choked up as he spoke.
In his heart, he just felt that Murong Fu’s kindness was still to be repaid.
……
Han Family Ancestral Hall.
Boom, boom, boom!
Han Qingjin ordered the servants to ring the big bell in the ancestral hall.
Since the death of the previous head of the Han family, Han Beikuang, the Han family has had no head of the family, because the family is full of young people. Although they may have good relationships with each other, the young people have no qualifications and no one is willing to submit to anyone else, so they have been unable to elect a new head of the family.
The big bell in this ancestral hall was a signal for the Han family to gather together when they encountered major events.
It hasn't sounded in many years.
Short life makes everyone in Hanjia Village become taciturn, and people don’t like to communicate with each other. After all, even if they have established deep friendships, their relatives and friends may pass away one day. Instead of adding to the sadness, it is better to act more indifferent in normal times. However, the sadness is still buried in the heart, but it is not expressed in words.
Now, the deafening bell sounded again, startling all the Han family members.
"Who rang the bell of the ancestral hall? We don't have a clan leader!"
"No major events have happened in the clan for a long time. What happened?" "Go and have a look! Look! It seems that Han Qingjin rang the bell! I want to see what this kid is doing?!"
Everyone was talking about it, but no one was dragging their feet, and they all headed towards the ancestral hall.
No matter who rings the bell, once the bell of the ancestral hall rings, all the family members must go to the ancestral hall. Otherwise, it will delay important matters and they will feel ashamed of their ancestors.
"Lingsha? This girl is back? I haven't seen her for two years. She has become even more beautiful."
"Who are these outsiders? Why did they come to our Han family's ancestral hall? Don't they know that only members of the Han family can enter our Han family's ancestral hall?"
"Han Qingjin, why did you ring the bell of the ancestral hall? You are not the clan leader!"
After the Han clan members arrived at the ancestral hall one after another, they asked questions one after another.
Because they saw Murong Fu and others, and also saw Han Qingjin standing in front of the bell with a serious expression and a pendulum in his hand. It was obviously him who rang the bell.
It was said that there were more than 200 people from the Han family, but in fact only about 150 people showed up.
Because many members of the Han clan could not stand the sad atmosphere in the clan, and like Han Lingsha, they wandered outside.
Perhaps some people have died in other places and the clan is unaware of it.
In the huge ancestral hall, these people seemed sparse.
Most of these people have young faces, the oldest are only around 30 years old, and the youngest are probably in their teens.
Many more are widows.
This overly young lineup is a reflection of the short life span of the Han family.
"Everyone, please be quiet. My sister Lingsha has something to say!" Han Qingjin said loudly.
Everyone in the Han family suddenly quieted down, with only a few people still mumbling and complaining in low voices.
Han Lingsha said: "My fellow tribesmen, my uncle passed away two years ago. I was heartbroken and determined to find a way to prolong the lifespan of our Han family. So I left Hanjia Village and went to the outside world. I heard that sword immortals can live forever, so I thought about looking for immortals. If I can get the immortal method of longevity and pass it on to my tribe, it can also help everyone. I have been running around in the past two years, almost all over the Tang Dynasty."
The expressions of everyone in the Han family softened. After all, even the most heartless person knew that Han Lingsha was doing this for their own good.
"Lingsha, we all understand your intentions. Who among us doesn't think so? But seeking immortality is not that easy. Even the emperor couldn't find an immortal. Emperor Taizong Wen (Li Shimin) was in poor health and wanted to find an immortal, but not only did he fail to find one, he also took the so-called elixir, which resulted in his death even faster..."
"Yes, Emperor Wu of Han also wanted to seek immortals and ask for the way. Qin Shi Huang also wanted to seek immortals and ask for the way. But which one of them did it? Such people all turned into a handful of yellow earth. How could our Han family possibly meet an immortal?"
"Qiao Liu also thought so. He went out to look for immortals a few years ago, but he only learned a few martial arts, which were of no use!"
Everyone in the Han family spoke, their tone pessimistic and their expressions sad.
As early as when the curse of short life began, the Han family went to seek immortals for advice, but to no avail.
No matter how simple the truth is, Qin Shihuang, Emperor Wu of Han, and Emperor Taizong Wen never achieved any results in their search for immortals and the way to the Tao, let alone the Han family.
Either there are no immortals in this world, or the so-called immortals are nothing but an illusory legend, a dream, a mirage.
There are immortals in this world, but even with the emperor’s resources, he cannot impress the immortals. So what can the Han family do to impress the immortals?
"Everyone, what I want to say is that I succeeded in my quest for immortality. I really found an immortal and joined his sect!" Han Lingsha said, "Look, this is my master, Immortal Ziyin! He is an immortal from the Qionghua Sect, and he can chat and laugh with the ancient immortal Guangchengzi! I am also a disciple of the Qionghua Sect, and have entered the immortal path, but I haven't become an immortal yet!"
With Han Lingsha's qualifications and prestige, she certainly cannot become the clan leader, let alone persuade the clan members not to rob tombs.
Therefore, the first trick Han Lingsha used was to use the tiger's skin and raise the banner.
"He is an immortal? Impossible! Impossible!"
"Lingsha, have you been deceived?"
"Yes, Lingsha, this man has nothing good except being handsome and elegant. Could he be your lover?" A young woman from the Han family teased.
"He is indeed handsome, and I can't take my eyes off him. Lingsha, you didn't find a perfect husband and are joking with us, right? We are really envious!"
"Well, he is handsome, with an upright figure, starry eyes and sword-like eyebrows, and a noble demeanor. He is a perfect match for you, Lingsha. You are indeed a perfect match."
"Lingsha, you have grown up..."
Seeing that the rhythm was completely distorted, these Han family members gossiped that Murong Fu was Han Lingsha's lover. Han Lingsha didn't know whether she was angry or shy, her face turned red, and she stamped her feet repeatedly: "Master, please prove it to them! I really can't stand it!"
Murong Fu smiled and said: "I am indeed your lover, Lingsha."
"Ah, Master, you... you are so shameless!" Han Lingsha said angrily, "You shouldn't be like this!"
Seeing that Han Lingsha was really anxious, Murong Fu did not provoke her. He smiled slightly and said to the Han family: "I am indeed an immortal, Lingsha's master. I will take you to heaven to have a look!"
After saying that, Murong Fu waved his hand and launched the group sword-controlling technique.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
The Han family members were lifted up by Murong Fu's sword energy one by one and flew into the air with Murong Fu. They saw low green mountains, trees like grass, white clouds on the side, and a cold wind. They were all stunned with shock.
"I flew?"
“Too high, too high!”
"What? Lingsha, are you really cultivating immortality?!"
"Ah, Lingsha, you really practiced Taoism. Can I join you?" The one who said this was naturally Han Lingsha's best friend, A-mo, Han Momo.
