Chapter 84: Chapter 74 Entering the Tomb
"Do you dare say you don't know the Five Sacred Peaks Talisman?"
Guo Huijun's killing intent became even stronger. Her sword tip was aimed at Liu Suiyun's throat. "Do you dare say you don't know the Five Sacred Peaks Talisman? What's on your shoulder?"
Liu Suiyun lowered his head and glanced at his shoulder. There seemed to be no problem. But he still lifted his clothes and found that there was a talisman mark composed of five miniature mountains on his shoulder. Although it was only the size of a fingertip, it was extremely exquisite. But the problem was that Liu Suiyun had never seen this thing before: "What is this? Miss Guo, what exactly is this?"
"You really don't know this is the Five Sacred Peaks Talisman?" Guo Huijun asked very suspiciously: "Really don't know?"
Liu Suiyun could only tell the truth: "Before this, I had never even heard the name of the Five Sacred Peaks Talisman! What on earth is this thing? How did it grow on my shoulder?"
"The Five Sacred Peaks Talisman, the Five Sacred Peaks Talisman is..."
Guo Huijun felt that she couldn't speak. Her earlobes were all flushed red. After a while, she finally organized her words: "The Five Sacred Peaks Talisman is a talisman planting technique secretly passed down for several generations in their Xu family. To cultivate a Five Sacred Peaks Talisman often requires endless efforts and time. Then it can be implanted into a warrior's body, giving the warrior the power of the Three Mountains and Five Peaks!"
The power of the Three Mountains and Five Peaks? Liu Suiyun had witnessed the truly overwhelming power of thunder. Although he didn't know exactly what kind of talisman planting method this Five Sacred Peaks Talisman was and how it could give a warrior the power of the Three Mountains and Five Peaks, he clearly knew one thing. That was, this Five Sacred Peaks Talisman probably had earth-shattering power.
You should know that after strength reaches a limit, it is a realm of being invincible. The thunderous power of Ma Qianjun back then was only a reduced version, but it was the toughest battle Liu Suiyun had fought in these years. If there really is the power of the Three Mountains and Five Peaks, combined with Guo Huijun's current spiritual armor, I'm afraid Guo Huijun is an existence that ordinary people cannot resist. Or she could directly pierce him with a single spear.
But he still didn't understand: "Then how did this Five Sacred Peaks Talisman end up on me? I remember now. Just now, Zhaori casually patted my shoulder. Was it implanted in my body at that time?"
"How is this possible?" Guo Huijun felt that what Liu Suiyun said was all lies: "Don't think I don't know the details of this Five Sacred Peaks Talisman. To peel off this Five Sacred Peaks Talisman, one doesn't know what kind of pain and cost one has to bear. Not to mention that their Xu family spent three generations cultivating this Five Sacred Peaks Talisman. Even for Zhaori himself, he has planted this Five Sacred Peaks Talisman since he was in the womb. It has been more than thirty years and he has never been separated from it at all times..."
Liu Suiyun was even more confused. If what Guo Huijun said was true, then unless he died, there was no way Xu Zhaori could peel off this Five Sacred Peaks Talisman: "But he really just casually patted my shoulder, and then this Five Sacred Peaks Talisman was implanted in my body!"
"Nonsense!" Guo Huijun directly refuted him: "Not to mention whether this Five Sacred Peaks Talisman can be peeled off. In this situation, it is not implanted in your body. It is only temporarily deposited on you. After a while, the century-old spiritual energy of the talisman will completely disappear!"
Liu Suiyun shook his hand: "Temporarily deposited? What exactly does Zhaori want to do? Fortunately, when we find Zhaori, I will return this Five Sacred Peaks Talisman to him!"
This time, Guo Huijun's silver sword suddenly carried an extremely cold and fierce killing intent, making Liu Suiyun gasp in surprise. She gritted her teeth and said: "This Five Sacred Peaks Talisman is mine, okay?"
"Yours?"
Liu Suiyun was completely confused. He could only ask Guo Huijun to explain everything clearly at once: "Ever since I was born from my mother's womb, I made a hundred-year agreement with Zhaori. The reason is this Five Sacred Peaks Talisman..."
"The talisman planting technique of their Xu family is learned from immortals and has infinite power. It is said that cultivating the talisman to the extreme realm can give an ordinary warrior the power of the Three Flowers Realm. But this Five Sacred Peaks Talisman is also the most useless dragon-slaying technique!"
Liu Suiyun already understood: "I'm afraid although this Five Sacred Peaks Talisman is cultivated by cultivators with countless energy in their bodies, in the end, it is the warriors who reap the benefits? And it is a pure warrior, not a person who cultivates both martial arts and Taoism."
He himself cultivates both martial arts and Taoism. But this Five Sacred Peaks Talisman has no effect on him at all. And Guo Huijun quickly added more details: "Star Junior Commander, you are right. In fact, this Five Sacred Peaks Talisman is the most useless thing for cultivators. Although it is cultivated by cultivators with countless time and spiritual energy, cultivators cannot gain any benefits. Instead, they will even delay their own cultivation. The decline of the Xu family is mostly because of this."
This is truly learning for others rather than for oneself. No wonder Guo Huijun calls it the most useless dragon-slaying technique. You should know that the Xu family spent three generations and a hundred years. Even the entire Xu family declined because of cultivating this single Five Sacred Peaks Talisman. But in the end, it is Guo Huijun who reaps the benefits.
As for what exactly happened before and after, Liu Suiyun was even more at a loss: "For this Five Sacred Peaks Talisman, you made a hundred-year agreement with Zhaori. But just now, Zhaori suddenly asked me to marry you and even temporarily deposited this Five Sacred Peaks Talisman on me. What's going on?"
Guo Huijun's killing intent became even stronger. But her whole face was as beautiful as a peach blossom. Even her neck became flushed with shame: "Tell me, what kind of magic potion did you give Zhaori?"
Liu Suiyun finally understood: "Could it be that implanting this Five Sacred Peaks Talisman into the body requires sexual intercourse?"
"Don't say it!"
Guo Huijun directly threw the shield and sword on the ground and sat on the ground and sobbed. Liu Suiyun had just taken two steps when he was scared back by her icy gaze. Only then did she say with shame: "If it weren't for him having such a Five Sacred Peaks Talisman as a dowry, our family would not have betrothed me to Zhaori. But shortly after we made the engagement, their Xu family completely declined..."
Guo Huijun continued: "This Five Sacred Peaks Talisman can be said to be a real burden for cultivators."
To cultivate this Five Sacred Peaks Talisman, the most difficult point is that cultivators must continuously provide the spiritual energy in their bodies to cultivate the talisman. They cannot stop for a moment. The greater the power of the talisman, the more astonishing the spiritual energy required. Even though Xu Zhaori implanted this Five Sacred Peaks Talisman in his womb, he still has to use at least half of his spiritual energy to cultivate the Five Sacred Peaks Talisman. Otherwise, the Five Sacred Peaks Talisman will have the danger of backfiring.
Now although Xu Zhaori is young and strong, if he wants to establish a foundation and achieve longevity, he also has to quickly implant this Five Sacred Peaks Talisman into Guo Huijun's body. It was supposed to be in these few months. But now both Liu Suiyun and Guo Huijun are completely confused and have no idea what's going on.
Liu Suiyun also had to explain the detailed process clearly to Guo Huijun. Guo Huijun finally picked up the silver spear and became firm in her will: "This Five Sacred Peaks Talisman is mine, but I am Xu Zhaori's fiancée!"
"I know, I know!" Liu Suiyun stretched out his hands and said: "I am a married man. I told you."
"In that case, both you and I have to figure this out!"
What exactly happened that caused such a big change in Xu Zhaori? Liu Suiyun still clearly remembered the scene of Xu Zhaohua holding flowers, with fallen petals everywhere and a fragrant aroma. He also thought of the Supreme Demon Sect he encountered earlier and the mysteriously missing Chen Chaonan. All of this formed a huge mystery waiting for them to solve: "Okay, let's go find Zhaori!"
"Go find Zhaori and figure out what exactly is going on."
After only walking a few steps, Liu Suiyun could already feel that this Five Sacred Peaks Talisman was slowly devouring the spiritual energy in his body. And it was slowly starting to accelerate. Although the total amount was not large, but thinking that this Five Sacred Peaks Talisman would automatically operate all the time, it was simply an insatiable bottomless pit. Liu Suiyun could already understand how the Xu family declined.
Fortunately, Liu Suiyun cultivates the Extreme Yuan Huang Lei Forging God Record, which is known as the number one for quick success. He has plenty of blood, qi, and souls accumulated when he joined forces with Guo Huijun some time ago. Such spiritual energy operation is not a difficult thing for him.
But now Guo Huijun couldn't completely trust Liu Suiyun. She was now tightly holding the silver spear and was ready to stab it over at any time. Liu Suiyun felt that the atmosphere was very dull and the walk was too slow.
Fortunately, they finally arrived. In front of True Monarch Beihe's mausoleum, they didn't see Xu Zhaori. Instead, they saw Xia Jingjue waiting there: "Where did Lao Xu go?"
"Master Xu, along with Senior An and the two fellow Taoists from Tianhong Sect, have already entered the tomb through this hole!" Xia Jingjue replied: "Master Xu asked me to guard here and inform the commander. With them, it's enough. Please, commander and Miss Guo, do as you please!"
"Enter the tomb!" Guo Huijun said without hesitation: "Even if it's a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, a dragon's pool and a tiger's den, I have to venture in once!"
"I'll accompany you!" Liu Suiyun also faintly felt that Beihe Mausoleum might not be as simple as he imagined. It must be full of crises: "I have to return the Five Sacred Peaks Talisman to Zhaori?"
"The Five Sacred Peaks Talisman is clearly mine, okay?"
Guo Huijun gave Liu Suiyun a glance but found that she seemed to have said the wrong thing. Did the meaning in her words encourage Liu Suiyun to implant the Five Sacred Peaks Talisman into her? That would be so embarrassing.
Xia Jingjue laughed: "Commander, I will come too!"
As they spoke, the three of them had formed a three-person combined formation and walked down the tunnel opened by some unknown tomb robber. Liu Suiyun called out: "Lao Xia, do you have a torch?"
"Yes, a high-quality tallow torch specially prepared for entering the tomb!"
But before he finished speaking, the silver armor on Guo Huijun's body was already shining with silver light, illuminating the entire tunnel as bright as day. She coldly said: "All of you follow me obediently!"
As she spoke, Guo Huijun had already walked in the front majestically with a shield in one hand and a sword in the other. Soon, the tunnel, which originally could only accommodate two or three people, became suddenly spacious enough to allow four warhorses to charge at the same time. The ground was full of broken weapons, stone statues, jewels, and carriage wreckage. From time to time, there were also several skeletons.
Guo Huijun led the way for about two hundred feet but still didn't see Xu Zhaori. Her anger grew even stronger. But suddenly, she heard Liu Suiyun beside her shout: "Be careful, Huijun!"
