Chapter 139: Surely Not, Mysterious Fist Skill (12k)
Yu Ziqing recalled the location of Jiayin City. It seemed indeed it was in the northern region of Dadui.
According to the rough range that Yang once mentioned, the location of Jinlan Mountain was roughly near the northern border of Dadui, either within the region or outside, there was certainly some margin of error, but the general location was correct.
This left Yu Ziqing somewhat shocked. Had the former half-blessed land of Jinlan Village existed for such a long time?
Thinking of the records in the An History Book, mentioning an Alien Realm falling to the ground, and Alien powers rampant.
In other words, the half-blessed land of Jinlan Mountain wasn't naturally formed but fell on the Wilderness, somehow transforming into a half-blessed land.
The current sealing was the original starting point of the half-blessed land of Jinlan Village.
Moreover, at that time, this ghostly place was filled with Evil creatures, with one major Evil that required County Magistrate Xu Hang of Jiayin City to seal it away to resolve the matter.
The only thing within Jinlan Mountain that might be related to the Evil creatures was that enormous Jade Tomb.
So, according to the speculation in the records, was it that Jade Tomb that was nearly in a stage of awakening when it crashed to the ground?
In the end, Xu Hang sealed away the consciousness and intelligence of the Evil, leaving only a pure Jade Tomb?
Yu Ziqing made a deduction based on the records and the actual situation of Jinlan Mountain, currently considering this to be the most reasonable estimation.
If things were only this, perhaps it wouldn't be much of an issue.
The Jade Tomb was merely a Jade Tomb, and if there was any trace of Evil Qi, it would be impossible to hide from the villagers, who had been "freely charging" on the power of the Jade Tomb during their health-sustaining practice.
Yu Ziqing also "freely charged" on the Jade Tomb's power to sustain his health, returning that power after a certain period, retaining only the pure health-sustaining effect.
Yu Ziqing hadn't detected any trace of Evil Qi.
Moreover, if there was indeed any Evil Qi, it couldn't possibly be hidden from Yang, this old dragon.
Thus, those people likely weren't after the Jade Tomb but something else.
Yang had once said that he was one hundred percent certain that the most secret records of the Three Divine Dynasties would only document the sleeping of the Hungry Ghost King within Jinlan Mountain, waiting endless ages for its true awakening.
Even those who personally experienced the Hungry Ghost King event at the time would think the Hungry Ghost King slept in Jinlan Mountain.
When everyone believed so, it became the truth, despite some discrepancies with the facts.
Overall, what outsiders believed could not be deemed wrong, to some extent, that statement was indeed correct, the Hungry Ghost King was indeed in slumber, indeed in Jinlan Mountain.
Thinking further, according to existing legends or records, regardless of the version, including the internal belief within Jinlan Mountain:
The Hungry Ghost King at that time, only possessed instincts and lacked any consciousness.
Combining this with the records from the An History Book.
"County Magistrate Xu Hang of Jiayin City, severed its source, sealed its God, suppressed with his own body."
Yu Ziqing didn't know whether to laugh or laugh.
Could it be that those people thought the Hungry Ghost King back then wasn't just not awakened but fundamentally lacked "God," and that "God" had been sealed here?
Reaching this speculation, Yu Ziqing was utterly shocked.
Could it be...
But the more he thought about it, the more he felt if things were indeed like this, many things would be clear.
Why did those people expend such great effort and resources?
Exposing the matter of the Abyssal Rift, allowing it to be artificially expanded.
Exposing their ability to poison the Spiritual Energy, where the poison might not be highly harmful outside but could be exponentially dangerous in a closed Grotto Heaven or smaller blessed land.
Moreover, exposing a faceless person.
Spending so much money, Yu Ziqing once thought it was to save some Evil Dao senior who knew exclusive knowledge.
Or their organization had all higher-ups' real fathers sealed inside.
Thus, sparing no expense to rescue them.
If the speculation was true, those people believed they could take away what they thought was the "God" of the Hungry Ghost King and exploit that "God" for various purposes.
After all, according to the An History Book records, Xu Hang, the County Magistrate of Jiayin City back then, was able to seal its "God."
Hence, that "God" wasn't particularly powerful back then.
Without "God," only the body remained, transforming into the Jade Tomb, undergoing an endless slumber of recovery, growing stronger until one day, the place of slumber plunged into the Void, so that creature's instincts allowed it to awaken, returning to the place of slumber, continuing its sleep, waiting for the return of "God."
Speculating this way, the logic seemed sound. After all, the existence of a huge Jade Tomb within Jinlan Mountain shouldn't be a secret, surely known to many after countless years.
Additionally, even Yang had once found intelligence about Dadui in the records of Silver Lake, and the same original text appeared in the An History Book, only with more content in the latter.
Thus, with all the machinations, those people would likely, through records elsewhere, uncover records concerning Jinlan Mountain.
The events at Jinlan Mountain several years ago probably caught many people's attention, prompting deliberate searches for related information.
