Chapter 409 Leading People to Their Deaths 3
Meng Die said, "Legend has it that there are eight coffins in the coffin gate, three above and five below."
"The three upper coffins are Po Jun, Qi Sha, and Tan Lang! It is said that the great palm masters who control Po Jun and Qi Sha are already among the supreme ghosts and gods. Only the Tan Lang coffin has never appeared. Therefore, everyone is looking for the reincarnation of Tan Lang."
The Meng family maid said, "Why do they have to find a person instead of looking for the coffin?"
"That's the most magical thing about the three upper coffins," Meng Die said. "The three upper coffins all have people first, and then coffins."
"In other words, the three upper coffins are the three great ominous stars, who have created the treasure of the coffin gate themselves after experiencing hardships. Without Tan Lang, there would be no Tan Lang coffin."
"I've always had a suspicion..."
Meng Die hesitated before saying, "I suspect that Li Po is the reincarnation of Tan Lang, or rather, he is one of the wolves vying for the Mandate of Heaven."
"Back then, Li Chunfeng came to the Meng family and made a marriage agreement with my father, but he never mentioned Li Po's birth date."
"At that time, my father suspected that Li Po's birth date involved some secret. After several probes, Li Chunfeng vaguely said that he was helping Li Po change his fate."
"If there were no great dangers and secrets involved in Li Po's fate, Li Chunfeng wouldn't have changed his fate for him. You must know that changing fate is defying the heavens, and a little carelessness can lead to eternal doom."
"Li Chunfeng's disappearance is very likely related to Li Po's changing his fate."
Meng Die paused again and said, "And Li Po's master, Qu Mo."
"Qu Mo may just be a code name. I suspect that he is Qu Wuqing, who was once famous in the art world and known as 'rich but ill-fated'."
"We have never found out the origin of Li Po, but his double sabers are somewhat similar to Qu Wuqing's."
"According to rumors in the art world, Qu Wuqing reappeared in the world a year ago, and then suddenly disappeared. The time of his disappearance coincides with the time of Li Po's debut. I suspect that Qu Mo is very likely to have gone to a place with Li Chunfeng."
Meng Die said as if talking to herself, "After Li Po debuted, he only did three things: Jie Ming (borrowing life), looking for Li Chunfeng, and looking for Qu Mo."
"Because Li Po's several battles were too stunning, people ignored the fact that he was secretly inquiring about these two people."
The Meng family maid couldn't help asking after hearing this, "Miss, I don't understand what you mean?"
Meng Die shook her head and said, "What I mean is: Li Po is actually only doing one thing. That is, looking for Tan Lang!"
"Li Po wants to avoid Tan Lang again and again, but fate makes him approach Tan Lang again and again."
"If Li Chunfeng and Qu Mo disappeared in order to change Li Po's fate, then Li Po is destined to be entangled with the fate of Tan Lang, whether he is the reincarnation of Tan Lang or not."
Meng Die looked in the direction where I disappeared: "Just like this time's breaking off the engagement. Li Po originally wanted to leave the Meng family after breaking off the engagement, but he ran into the secrets of the coffin gate again."
"Isn't this the arrangement of fate?"
The Meng family maid said in a low voice, "Is this really the arrangement of fate? Why can't warlocks escape fate? Miss, what is the relationship between Li Po and Zhen Shen coffin?"
Meng Die said, "When the coffin gate suffered a catastrophe, all five lower coffins were scattered into the world."
"Some of the five coffins were taken away and hidden, and some were sent to the secret burial of the coffin gate for sealing. In order to protect the five coffins, even the disciples of the coffin gate did not know the true whereabouts of the coffins."
"After successfully escaping a massacre, those dismissed disciples of the coffin gate began to look for the five coffins left by their predecessors."
"Unfortunately, they sadly discovered that the inheritance of the coffin gate had been broken in their generation. Not only could they no longer restore the glory of their predecessors, but they couldn't even get the secret burial left by their predecessors."
"Just like Niu Tianlu, he is guarding here just to get the Zhen Shen coffin."
The Meng family maid opened her eyes wide and looked at Meng Die: "Miss, how do you know these things?"
This time, Meng Die looked in the direction where I disappeared and smiled without saying a word.
Meng Die sent out the news, but it made all four major families brave the heavy snow and advance into the deep mountains.
They couldn't resist the temptation of the Zhen Shen coffin.
Ye Yang and I arrived at the scheduled target, "Dead Man's Gulch," a day later!
I was stunned when I stood at the entrance of Dead Man's Gulch. The peaks on both sides of Dead Man's Gulch were covered with white snow, but Dead Man's Gulch was not covered with a single flake of snow. Looking from the entrance of the gully, all I could see were mounds of earth of the same size and coffins placed by the roadside.
I squatted down and glanced into the gully: "Are those mounds graves?"
Fang Xuan said, "This is Dead Man's Gulch, a place only for the dead."
I glanced at the graves scattered at different heights at the entrance of the gully: "Who are the people who died here?"
Fang Xuan said, "I don't know. When someone discovered Dead Man's Gulch, it was like this. Look..."
Fang Xuan pointed ahead and said, "After three hundred steps from here, you won't be able to see anything. I guess it should be a slope, or it turned a corner. So far, no one can say what you can see after three hundred steps in Dead Man's Gulch?"
