Chapter 173: Chapter 146:I promised to be your daughter- in-law!

Translator: 549690339 I

Because of Xu Yang’s “temporary blindness “, the previously planned vacation naturally fell through.

After leaving Lintong, Liu Shishi directly drove onto the freeway.

The moment she got behind the wheel, she seemed to become a different person. Excited and energetic, she put on some music, instantly lifting the atmosphere. Yang Yin, Yue Yuluo, and Yun Mengxi swayed to the rhythm, and even Liu Shishi was dancing in her seat a bit.

Watching them, Xu Yang couldn’t help but complain, “Can’t you guys consider the feelings of the blind man in the car? Yo, yo, check it out!”

Damn.

This song is infectious!

They were on the road for seven or eight hours. Xu Yang, who was blind and unable to kill time by watching videos on his phone, attempted to meditate. But, with the high spirits in the car, he was afraid he would lose control.

Bored out of his mind, he began to daydream.

His thoughts returned to Emperor Qin Shi Huang’s Mausoleum.

The grey mist that enveloped the mausoleum seemed to resemble the aura of a Yin deity transforming into a malevolent being, yet it wasn’t quite the same.

The grey fog formed by the malevolent being’s aura gave off an ominous and cold feeling.

However, the grey mist enveloping Emperor Qin Shi Huang’s Mausoleum had an imposing aura that exerted an unfathomable pressure on anyone who looked at it.

And the abrupt surge of energy that blinded him was as intense as the sun’s glare.

“What on earth was that?”

“The guardian of Emperor Qin Shi Huang’s Mausoleum?”

“A human… or some sort of divine spirit similar to a Yin deity?”

If it was a human power, did the Da Xia authorities know about it? Or perhaps, was it arranged there by the Da Xia authorities?

But if it wasn’t a human, then that’s worth pondering!

Why would such a “powerful being” be present in Emperor Qin Shi Huang’s Mausoleum?

What is the purpose of “its” existence?

To guard Emperor Qin Shi Huang’s Mausoleum?

Why would “it” protect Emperor Qin Shi Huang’s Mausoleum?

Xu Yang suddenly remembered what Yun Mengxi said this morning when looking at the terracotta warriors. She thought she saw one move. He tried to use the Heavenly Eye Talisman to activate his Heavenly Eye, but he didn’t notice anything unusual, assuming Yun Mengxi was mistaken.

“Is there a possibility…”

“That Yun Mengxi wasn’t mistaken, and the reason I couldn’t see it is that I am unable to see it with just the power of the Heavenly Eye Talisman alone?”

A chill ran down Xu Yang’s spine as he took out his phone and said, “Yuluo, help me call Wang Hou.”

Yue Yuluo helped him dial Wang Hou’s number, and as usual, Wang Hou’s female secretary answered. After about half a minute, Wang Hou’s voice came through. Xu Yang relayed what happened the previous night at Yuechun Hot Spring Hotel. Wang Hou didn’t seem too surprised.

He was well aware of the existence of Liu Shishi and Yun Mengxi, and adding Xu Yang, a Daoist who entered the Dao realm through the rules of Thunder, dealing with the “Great Priest of Xuan Mountain Temple” was not a problem.

“But that sneaky bastard!”

Wang Hou sounded frustrated, “He actually played a trick on me… If he falls into my hands, I will make sure he wishes he were dead.”

After a brief vent, Wang Hou switched gears and asked, “So, what do you need?”

“I just visited Emperor Qin Shi Huang’s Mausoleum.”

Xu Yang narrated exactly what he saw. Of course, he left out the trivial part about how he was blinded.

“Ha ha!”

Wang Hou laughed heartily upon hearing this, “You, young fellow, are truly fearless… even daring to pry into Emperor Qin Shi Huang’s Mausoleum?” “What do you mean?”

Xu Yang raised an eyebrow, his eyes aching with the movement, he grimaced as he asked, “From what Minister Wang is saying, it seems he knows what’s going on inside Emperor Qin Shi Huang’s Mausoleum?”

“I don’t know about the situation within the mausoleum, but I had a brief interaction with the entity guarding it… It claimed to be a heroic spirit of the Qin Army, entrusted with guarding Emperor Qin Shi Huang’s Mausoleum for over 2,000 years. It went into slumber after the depletion of spiritual aura and only woke up in recent years.”

“A heroic spirit of the Qin Army?”

Xu Yang subconsciously asked, “How many heroic spirits are there in Emperor Qin Shi Huang’s Mausoleum?”

His first thought…

Was whether he could earn merit points from these Qin Army heroic spirits?

However, he quickly dismissed this thought… earning merit points was good, but life was the most important. If you lose your life, everything else becomes meaningless.

“There would definitely be more than one heroic spirit from the Qin Army. I am not sure how many exactly there are, but Emperor Qin Shi Huang’s Mausoleum has never been disturbed in over 2,000 years due to the fear of these heroic spirits.”

Wang Hou said, “I even suspect that there might be an entire army of heroic spirits inside Emperor Qin Shi Huang’s Mausoleum… Otherwise, do you think that with today’s technology, we really can’t break into the mausoleum?”

Xu Yang voiced out his worry, “Would they come out?”

Heroic spirits are essentially Yin spirits, ghosts!

What might be the size of this army of heroic spirits?

If they break out from Emperor Qin Shi Huang’s Mausoleum and wreak havoc in the world, the entire Lintong County and the surrounding cities could easily fall into chaos, turning the place into a real-life hell.

On the other end of the phone, Wang Hou fell silent for a few seconds.

His colloquial tone turned serious, “I once spoke with the leader of the heroic spirits. Their duty is to guard Emperor Qin Shi Huang’s Mausoleum and the Emperor himself. Unless the Emperor commands otherwise, they are not allowed to leave the mausoleum in this life or any future ones.”

“Of course…”

“Over two thousand years is a long time, and not all heroic spirits can tolerate loneliness. Hence, we have masters from the Supernatural Affairs Bureau stationed outside the Mausoleum of Emperor Qin Shi Huang. If any heroic spirits come out, they will be taken down,” said Minister Wang.

Xu Yang sensed Minister Wang’s desperation.

This situation was too passive.

Who knew if those heroic spirits would collectively go mad and violate the martial rules to escape?

Plus, the leader of the heroic spirits had stated that without Emperor Qin Shi Huang’s orders, they would not step out of the mausoleum in any life… but what if they were ordered by Emperor Qin Shi Huang?

After all, considering the current situation where the heroic spirits of the Qin army have all emerged, who knew if the deceased Emperor Qin Shi Huang would be revived?

Soon, Xu Yang hung up the call.

Liu Shishi then turned up the DJ volume.

The sun had already set when they got half way through their journey from Lintong County, and darkness gradually enveloped everything.

Xu Yang instructed Liu Shishi to refuel at the service area, and he himself bought some food at the supermarket. By the time they got back to Wu City, it was 11 pm.

They didn’t go straight back to the villa, instead they headed to the People’s Hospital of Wu City.

Locals commonly referred to Wu City People’s Hospital as “Shangqiao Hospital”. It was the largest and best hospital in Wu City. Xu Yang intended to get his eye checked and get some eye drops for the pain.

Upon arrival, he found that… the ophthalmologist didn’t work nights at Shangqiao Hospital, so he had to go to a big pharmacy nearby to get a box of Levofloxacin Eye Drops.

On the way back, they picked up some grilled food. By the time they got back to the villa, it was midnight.

Xu Yang tried to open his eyes, but everything before him was still blurry. He could vaguely make out some silhouettes, but his eyes were so painful that he had to close them again.

Of course, this didn’t affect his daily life.

After all, Xu Yang had “entered Dao”. By discharging the charm of Dao or relying on his spiritual power, he could clearly sense everything around him. It was just that he was so used to using his eyes that he found it strange without them.

After eating a late night snack, taking a shower, instead of going to his bedroom, he sat on the sofa in the living room on the first floor and started cultivating.

About an hour into his cultivation, a thought suddenly popped into Xu Yang’s mind. “Right… now that I have entered Dao, I can cultivate the Heavenly Eye Skill recorded in the Divine Ascension Scripture!”

The Heavenly Eye Skill was one of the few Daoist skills recorded in the Divine Ascension Scripture!

The effect of this Daoist skill was similar to that of the ‘Heavenly Eye Talisman’.

However, the Heavenly Eye opened by the ‘Heavenly Eye Talisman’ had a time limit and the things it could ‘see’ were limited, which were achieved by borrowing external forces!

But if one cultivates the ‘Heavenly Eye Skill’ one’s self, one could open it anytime and anywhere. If cultivated to a high level, its effect would be far greater than that of the ‘Heavenly Eye Talisman’. It could see through all illusions and make malevolent beings incapable of hiding.

In the realm of Daoism, the ‘Heavenly Eye Skill’ was not considered a secret skill. Almost every Daoist sect had methods of cultivating it.

But there were only a rare few who could successfully cultivate it… not to mention those in the Entering Dao Realm, even among the entire Daoist communities of the Da Xia realm, there were probably very few Supreme Sages in the Divine Transcendence Realm who could cultivate the ‘Heavenly Eye Skill’.

Because the cultivation of this ‘Daoist skill’ was extremely dangerous.

The cultivator had to inject spiritual power into their eyes to stimulate the acupoints and veins in their eyes…

But the eyes were among the most delicate parts of the human body. The slightest mishap could lead to blindness… If you ever encounter a blind Daoist in the martial world, do not be surprised. He is most likely blinded by forcibly practicing the ‘Heavenly Eye Skill’.

But Xu Yang was not afraid.

“After all, I’m blind already… I might as well give it a try.”

“Besides, compared to others, I don’t need to forcefully practice or open the Heavenly Eye, as long as I get a head start..”

He decided to practice and immediately started to channel his spiritual power very carefully into his eyes.

In a flash, another wave of piercing pain came through.

Xu Yang endured the pain and continued to cultivate.

Just as he was practicing, a resentful voice suddenly came, whispering in Xu Yang’s ear, “Junior Harrison… I can’t sleep!”

Xu Yang was overjoyed. He immediately stopped cultivating and jumped up, saying, “Great… come, let me tell you a story…”

Yun Mengxi: ”  ”

Before she could say anything, Xu Yang grabbed her hand and headed straight for the nanny’s room.

“By the way.”

Xu Yang added, “Do you want to sleep in the coffin or the bed?”

Yun Mengxi’s look at Xu Yang became even more resentful. She didn’t go into the coffin, but instead said, “Xu Yang, there’s something I must tell you honestly…”

Xu Yang’s eyes were tightly closed as he smiled, “What is it? Just say it.”

“Actually, I lied to you.”

Yun Mengxi said seriously, “After I was injured by the Daoists of Maoshan Sect, I returned to my tomb to recuperate… Five years ago, your grandfather suddenly broke into my tomb. He seemed to know me, as if he had a perfect understanding of my background. At that time, I was still weak and not a match for your grandfather. With no choice, I signed some unequal treaties with him…”

“No matter.”

Xu Yang waved his hand and said, “I’m the boss now, those unequal treaties don’t count.”

Biting her lower lip, Yun Mengxi whispered, “But I have taken a Heavenly Oath and promised your grandfather that I would become your wife…”

Xu Yang: ”     ”
