Chapter 477: The Ridge of the Eight Immortals! Triple Evil Heavenly Coffin!
The Ridge of the Eight Immortals!
It was located in the northeastern part of Hong Kong Island’s New Territories. In the 1970s, when Tang Yuanshan smuggled into Hong Kong from the mainland’s Guangdong Province, he made his fortune by collecting goods from the mountains. The location was the Ridge of the Eight Immortals!
Subsequently, Tang Yuanshan rose rapidly as a small figure who collected goods from the mountains. He invested in real estate, jewelry, finance, film, and television companies. In just a few decades, he had laid a solid foundation for the Tang family.
Later on, Tang Yuanshan remembered his past and applied to the then governor of Hong Kong to buy a place in the Ridge of the Eight Immortals! Then, he secretly moved the ancestral grave there.
At this moment, Ye Chen was sitting in a car with Tang Yuanshan who looked at the scenery along the way through the window. Tang Yuanshan said with a wry smile, “Mr. Ye, to tell you the truth, the ancestral grave of my Tang family was chosen by the current Master Xiao Buyi!”
“I’ve heard this name more than once. Is this person really that magical?” Ye Chen asked with interest.
“Not magical!” Tang Yuanshan shook his head and showed respect on his face. “To be more precise, Master Xiao’s life can be summed up as a living legend. He was a highly respected expert in the outside world. He didn’t seek fame or fortune. Despite living a life of divine arts and powerful Daoist skills, he cares about all the people in the world.”
“That’s right!” Qi Qingfeng said from the side, “Master Xiao has done many good things for the people of Hong Kong. When Hong Kong was still in the concession area, countless people were displaced at dawn and tortured by illness. Master Xiao used all his wealth to build a shed, set up a porridge shop, and even personally treated the people.”
He sighed softly, “Unfortunately, even someone as strong as Master Xiao can’t escape the cycle of life and death. You don’t know that on the day the news of Master Xiao’s death spread, a total of 50,000 people in Hong Kong put on mourning clothes for him.”
“Until now, many people in Hong Kong still have a statue of Master Xiao in their homes,” Tang Yuanshan said with a sigh.
When Ye Chen heard this, he was immediately moved. 50,000 people had mourned for him. This fact alone proved that this person was really like what the duo said.
He could not help but ask, “Then, where was this person buried?”
“That’s a mystery,” Qi Qingfeng shook his head and said.
Tang Yuanshan wanted to say something but hesitated. In the end, he said, “Mr. Ye, to be honest, Master Xiao was buried in the ancestral grave of the Tang family.”
As soon as he said this, everyone in the car, apart from Ye Chen, was shocked. Even Tang Guodong and Tang Ning were no exception.
“What?” Qi Qingfeng was stunned for a moment before he looked at Tang Yuanshan in disbelief. “Elder Tang, was Master Xiao really buried in the ancestral grave of the Tang family?”
“That’s right!”
“in reality, when Master Xiao selected the Tang family’s ancestral grave, he asked me to agree to two requests. I originally thought Master Xiao wanted money, but he actually shook his head.”
Tang Yuanshan smiled apologetically and said, “firstly, he asked the Tang family to donate 30% of their assets to charity. Secondly, he also wanted to be buried in the Ridge of the Eight Immortals after his death.”
“Grandfather, does this mean Master Xiao already knew when he was going to die?” Tang Ning asked in confusion.
“Yes!” Tang Yuanshan nodded his head and said in a deep voice, “Someone like Master Xiao has long understood life and death. It’s understandable that he knew when he was going to die. So, I immediately agreed and promised not to tell anyone.”
“Dad, why did Master Xiao have to be buried in the ancestral grave of my Tang family? You should know that he isn’t a member of the Tang family, right?” Tang Guodong frowned and asked suspiciously.
“I didn’t understand this at the beginning.”
Tang Yuanshan shook his head slightly and then glanced at Yinshi who sat behind Ye Chen. The reason behind Master Xiao’s request suddenly became apparent.
Ye Chen suddenly understood as well.
Xiao Buyi also knew that with his status, he would definitely be cared for by countless people after he died. Therefore, he could only be buried in the Tang family’s ancestral grave. With the Tang family’s power, they could only keep this secret.
As they were talking, the driver in front announced, “Master, we’re here!”
After the group walked out of the RV, they looked around. What they saw was a winding mountain peak. Every tip of the mountain peak was separated, so it looked like eight mountain peaks that were very majestic.
“Mr. Ye, that’s Hsien Ku Peak!” Tang Yuanshan leaned on his walking stick and extended his hand to the peak on the east side. He introduced, “The one next to it is Sheung Tsz Peak, Choi Wo Peak, and Tsao Kau Peak…”
The Ridge of the Eight Immortals was named after the eight immortals.
After the introduction to the last mountain peak, Tang Yuanshan paused and said, “That is the Shun Yeung Peak. The peak is named after the leader of the Eight Immortals, Lü Dongbin’s secular name, Chunyang Zi. It is also where the ancestral grave of our Tang family is located.”
Everyone gazed in the direction of his finger.
They saw that the mountain peak at the very edge was currently surrounded by a faint black gas. The black gas was constantly spreading out, and the grass and trees on the peak were all wilted. It was very decadent.
At the same time, a faint layer of light screen[1] spread out from Ye Chen, Qi Qingfeng, Yin Shi, and the others. These light screens enveloped Tang Yuanshan and the others.
“Master Xiao once said that the Tang family’s birth element is water and wood. Our family lacks metal, fire, and earth among the five elements of Feng Shui. Therefore, after traveling all over Hong Kong Island, we chose Shun Yeung Peak,” Tang Yuanshan said as he led the group forward.
“Shun Yeung…Of course, it has strong metal and fire elements,” Qi Qingfeng said with a nod.
As the group approached Shun Yeung Peak, they were surrounded by black gas. However, they were isolated from the black gas by the light screens on their bodies.
A grave that covered an area of less than 20 square meters appeared in front of the people, but the ground around the grave had already cracked like a dry field.
Meanwhile, there was also a wave of heat emitted from the area.
Tang Yuanshan’s expression changed. “That’s strange. How did it turn out like this?”
“What’s that?” Tang Ning suddenly exclaimed as she pointed to a pillar of black gas in the distance. Shock was written all over her face.
“It’s a sign that the Corpse Qi is extremely strong.” Ye Chen chuckled as he looked at Tang Yuanshan. “Elder Tang, you may not know this, but not only are two people buried in the Tang family’s ancestral tomb, but there’s also an outsider!”
“There’s an outsider?” Tang Yuanshan was confused. “That’s impossible, right?”
“I can tell with one look!” Ye Chen walked up to the grave and clapped his hands. A Yellow Talisman shot into the sky and he roared, “Thunder!”
Dark clouds covered the sky in the blink of an eye!
Boom!
Under everyone’s terrified expressions, a bolt of lightning struck the Tang family grave. Countless dazzling electric currents were transmitted into the ground.
Roar!
A moment later, the ground shook violently. An angry roar came from underground like the roar of a ferocious beast.
“Wh-what is going on?”
Tang Yuanshan and the others looked at each other in shock.
In the next moment, a huge black coffin broke out from the ground and smashed heavily onto the ground. Despite the impact, it was not smashed into pieces.
Everyone gaped at it.
They saw that the black coffin was covered with dense black gas, and the coffin had sunk more than 20 centimeters into the ground. The coffin was shaking incessantly as if something was trying to escape.
Upon seeing this, Qi Qingfeng and Yin Shi both sucked in a breath of cold air. They exclaimed in shock, “This…this is the Triple Evil Heavenly Coffin!”
