Chapter 450 Damang Mountain
There was no body inside the coffin.
There wasn't even a single burial item.
Bai Xiao gasped, his face turning deathly pale.
"This……"
Where is Zhao Si's body?
The servants looked at each other in bewilderment.
"It was definitely there when it was buried the year before last..."
"Oh no! Could it be that we've been robbed by grave robbers?"
"You're talking nonsense. Butler Zhao has lived a life of poverty. What valuable things could he possibly have?"
"That's hard to say..."
Lu Yuguan stood there, his expression changing.
really!
Zhao Si is definitely not dead!
Jiang Cong exclaimed, "Holy crap, Guan'er was right!"
Emperor Xuanyu narrowed his eyes.
"interesting."
Lu Yuguan stepped directly into the coffin.
"Wait!" Bai Xiao exclaimed.
But Lu Yuguan had already lain down inside.
The inside of the coffin was narrow and smelled of rotting wood chips.
He closed his eyes.
An extremely familiar aura enveloped me.
"Tong-chan," Lu Yuguan asked silently in her heart, "doesn't it feel... familiar?"
【…】
[It's very similar to the feeling you experienced when you first entered the outer void.]
Lu Yuguan suddenly opened his eyes.
Yes!
That's the vibe!
He propped himself up against the coffin wall, his expression shifting between light and dark. "This coffin is very similar to the one I encountered in Nanzhou."
Jiang Cong leaned closer: "What do you mean?"
"Back when we were fighting demons in the Southern Continent, we were swept into the outer void because of a coffin."
Lu Yuguan jumped out and dusted off his robes.
"I suspect that Zhao Si didn't die at all, but instead traveled away through the coffin."
Xuan Yu Taizu frowned and stepped forward, reaching into the coffin and touching it with a solemn expression.
"Even in the Immortal Realm, I have never seen such an artifact... It doesn't seem to be the work of immortals..."
"What is that?" asked Emperor Taizu Jinluan.
"Hard to say."
Bai Xiao was alarmed and quickly ordered his servants, "Move the whole coffin out, be careful!"
Several servants worked together to lift the thin coffin out of the pit.
The bottom of the coffin was exposed.
A dark-colored piece of cloth was half-covered by mud.
"Huh?" A servant reached out to pull at it. "What's this?"
"do not move!"
Emperor Jinluan stepped forward, his fingertips brushing against the fur. "This robe is of high quality; it's not something an ordinary servant could have."
Upon hearing this, Bai Xiao suppressed his shock and leaned closer to take a closer look.
This look.
This gave him a jolt.
"This...this robe..."
"I recognize it!"
He suddenly looked up at Lu Yuguan, his eyes filled with surprise and uncertainty.
"Zhao Si wore this back then!"
"They said it was a gift from Aunt Lu, something Aunt Lu brought from her maiden home!"
Reed catkins!
It's Mother again!
Lu Yuguan's heart pounded as he snatched the beast-patterned robe from Jinluan Taizu's hands.
It is warm to the touch, its fur is smooth, and you can faintly feel a rich, powerful aura.
This is no ordinary item.
The Golden Phoenix Ancestor gathered a wisp of immortal energy at his fingertip and gently touched the edge of the inner lining of the beast robe. Instantly, a hidden mark appeared, like some kind of anti-counterfeiting mark.
Bai Xiao's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed, "It's the beast robe from Da Mang Mountain!"
"I visited the Cao family in Damang Mountain years ago and saw the robes they wore, which are almost exactly the same as this one!"
The Cao Clan of Da Mang Mountain!
A name flashed through Lu Yuguan's mind instantly—
Cao Yin!
That fierce young master of the Cao family!
Why was the animal-patterned robe that Zhao Si's mother had given him buried under the coffin?
Where did Zhao Si go again?
What is his relationship with his mother and the Cao family of Damangshan?
The clues point in a new direction.
【Ding! ——】
[Main Quest丨Mystery of Life]
Current progress: 80%/100%
Lu Yuguan gripped the beast-patterned robe tightly in his hand, looked up towards the northwest, where the Great Mang Mountain was located.
Emperor Xuanyu stroked his beard and chuckled.
"Damang Mountain?"
"I know that place well; I even brought the Cao family a great fortune before."
Emperor Taizu of Jinluan glanced at him.
"You know everything."
Bai Xiao looked at the empty coffin, then at the robe in Lu Yuguan's hand, and sighed deeply.
"Third brother, what exactly is going on?"
Lu Yuguan carefully put away the animal-patterned robe.
"Big brother."
"There are some things I can't explain, I hope you can understand."
Bai Xiao said helplessly, "You can decide for yourself. My cultivation level is not high, so I can't help much. If you are tired, remember to come back and rest."
Whether it's for their own origins or to uncover the connection between the two worlds.
Damang Mountain.
He has to go.
"Grand Ancestor, could you please help me send this coffin to the Xuanyu Sect?"
“I remember there are three identical coffins in the sect. The demonic cultivators were also looking for these back then. I think there might be some connection between the two.”
Emperor Xuanyu readily agreed: "No problem."
"What about me? What about me?"
Jiang Cong was as excited as a puppy, "Do you want me to go with you to that mountain?"
"I'm afraid not."
"what?"
Jiang Cong visibly deflated.
Lu Yuguan comforted him, saying, "This matter involves my mother, so it might be inappropriate to bring you along."
"Besides, you've only just adapted to this body and don't yet know how to use your strength. I'm afraid you might be in danger."
Jiang Cong scoffed: "Anyway, it's not real. At worst, we can just try it again. What's there to be afraid of?"
Lu Yuguan shook his head: "Jiang Cong, it's hard to say what the current situation is like."
"Ok?"
"I suspect both sides are true."
Jiang Cong pouted, looking at him as if he were a simpleton.
"never mind."
"as long as you are happy."
"Hurry back! I'm waiting to find Li Ziming and the others with you!"
Lu Yuguan smiled at him, turned his head and chanted a spell, tearing through the void and heading towards Mount Damang.
Jiang Cong couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.
Ouch!
Guan'er, this immortal cultivator, is kind of handsome!
"Boy, just now...did you mention Sect Master Li's name?"
Ancestor Xuanyu narrowed his eyes and asked.
……
Damang Mountain.
Cao family.
Cao Yin was shirtless, his muscles bulging, and sweat glistened on his bronze skin.
"Didn't you eat?!"
His voice was as loud as a bell, shaking the dust in the training ground.
"Punch hard!"
"Keep your lower body stable!"
A group of Cao family disciples gritted their teeth, punching and kicking with great force, each possessing the cultivation level of the Foundation Establishment stage.
Cao Yin looked around and nodded in satisfaction.
After recovering from his injuries, he returned to seclusion and successfully broke through to the Golden Core stage.
A servant jogged up to him.
"Young Master, someone outside the manor requests an audience."
"Who?"
Cao Yin grabbed a handkerchief to wipe his face, not caring much.
"They say he is Lu Yuguan, the third young master of the Bai family in Kyoto."
Cao Yin paused, his eyes flashing with surprise.
"Brother Lu?"
He grabbed his outer garment and haphazardly put it on. "Please come quickly! No—I'll go greet you myself!"
……
The gates of the Cao residence opened.
Cao Yin strode out and, upon seeing the familiar figure below, burst into laughter.
"Brother Lu, it really is you!"
Lu Yuguan smiled and cupped his hands in greeting: "Brother Cao, it's been a long time. I hope you've been well."
Cao Yin stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder with his large hand.
"It's okay!"
"Thank goodness you found a doctor back then, otherwise I would definitely have developed a chronic illness!"
Lu Yuguan smiled awkwardly.
"I've heard a lot about your deeds these past two years," Cao Yin said, pulling Lu Yuguan inside. "Come on, let's have a drink and chat!"
Lu Yuguan shook his head slightly.
"Brother Cao, let's not rush the wine."
"I have come here today with a question I would like to ask you."
Cao Yin raised an eyebrow.
Seeing his serious expression, he waved away his attendants and said, "Speak freely."
Lu Yuguan took out the animal-patterned robe from his bosom and gently unfolded it.
"Brother Cao, do you recognize this?"
Cao Yin's gaze sharpened, and he reached out to stroke the fur on his robe, his fingertips pausing at the marked spot.
"It is indeed the beast-patterned robe of my Cao family!"
