Chapter 37 A Coffin Flying in the Sky

"Alright, everyone, you can all leave now."

"Zhou Fei, take your men back to Yanjing to continue monitoring the Situ family. On the way, send Zhang Tianshi's descendants to the Dragon Shadow Academy for training."

"Chu Yue, you stay in Jiangzhou City and continue to stay by Mr. Gu's side."

"Remember, this doesn't mean you're to spy on him, but to be at his beck and call."

"I no longer expect such a powerful person to join the Dragon Shadow Guard. If he is willing, what's wrong with giving him my position as the leader of the Dragon Shadow Guard?"

"After I return, I will personally petition the Grand Elder to invite Mr. Gu to become a specially appointed instructor for the Dragon Shadow Guard."

"What?"

"Specially appointed instructor?"

"Chief, are you serious?"

"Since its establishment, our Dragon Shadow Guard has never hired any instructors from outside."

"You actually think highly of him?"

Many members of the Dragon Shadow Guard expressed their incomprehension.

"Hmph, what do you know?"

"The Dragon Shadow Guard has always been ranked lower in the world by the United States' Delta Force. We desperately need to inject some new strength."

"I see hope in Mr. Gu."

"In this year's World Military Games, our Dragon Shadow Guard must take first place."

.......

"Mom, there's a coffin flying outside."

On a civilian airliner, at an altitude of 10,000 meters, a child's shocked shout suddenly rang out.

"Hao'er, what nonsense are you talking about? We're in the sky, how could there be a coffin flying around?"

"I've always told you to watch less anime."

Without warning, the young mother looked outside and froze on the spot as if she had been electrocuted, her eyes wide with shock.

At that moment, gasps of surprise rang out from other passengers in the cabin.

"My God."

"Look, there really are coffins flying in the sky!"

"What a ghost in broad daylight?"

Many passengers were terrified when they noticed the unusual situation outside.

"This isn't a coffin, is it?"

"Holy crap, could it be some kind of aircraft?"

"His speed was no slower than that of an airplane."

"Take a picture and post it on WeChat Moments."

"Wait, look! Isn't there someone under that coffin?"

"He... he was flying while carrying a coffin?"

"Ahhhhhh"

"It's absolutely incredible."

"What did I see?"

Similarly, the captain, flight attendants, and other crew members inside the cabin were also stunned into silence by this scene.

The captain had been flying for over ten years and this was the first time he had encountered such a situation.

"Hello, control tower, this is Jiangzhou Airlines 1618, I see a coffin flying in the sky."

"Is this some kind of cutting-edge flying machine?"

Then the tower's voice came through the walkie-talkie: "Jianghang 1618, what did you say? Please confirm again."

"I said I saw a coffin flying a few hundred meters away from my aircraft. It was moving very fast, even faster than my aircraft."

"Yes, control tower received it."

"I will check the flight information immediately. Please fly carefully and make sure you land safely."

"This coffin-shaped flying object is very likely some kind of military aircraft. Please keep your distance from it."

"Has the control tower finished speaking? Does the captain have anything to add?"

"Hello, control tower, but..."

"But there's still someone under the coffin."

"He disappeared. He was too fast; he left an afterimage in the sky."

Tower staff: "..."

Longhushan Taoist Temple is located more than 1,000 kilometers away from Jiangzhou City. Surrounded by mountains, it is one of the important birthplaces of Taoism in China.

The ten Celestial Masters within the Taoist temple are renowned throughout the world.

They are all top-tier experts from China.

Legend has it that the old abbot of Longhu Mountain, Qingshan Daoren, has lived for over three hundred years and possesses unfathomable strength. He is the master of the ten Celestial Masters of Longhu Mountain.

The Taoist Master of Qingshan had been in seclusion for many years and did not concern himself with worldly affairs. In fact, many young people did not even know of the existence of this old abbot.

Many people also believe that the old abbot has probably already passed away and ascended to heaven.

Longhu Mountain is more than 100 kilometers away from the nearest county town. It takes at least three or four hours to walk up the mountain after getting off the car at the parking lot at the foot of the mountain.

But this does not deter countless people from coming to visit.

Some people even kneel down to show their respect for Taoism by climbing each step.

Proposing marriage, praying for a child, praying for wealth, praying for peace.

Everyone who comes here is striving for their beliefs.

Today, the peak of Longhu Mountain was shrouded in thick fog, and the only road on the mountain was winding and steep.

The reason there is no road access is rumored to be because Longhu Mountain is testing everyone on the mountain.

If you can't even get past this first hurdle, how can you talk about faith?

On the winding mountain road, there were mostly young people, but also some middle-aged and elderly people.

It has almost completely filled the mountain path.

For Gu Lingchen, a distance of over a thousand kilometers was not much different from a few hundred meters. In less than half an hour, Gu Lingchen's figure had already appeared near Longhu Mountain.

Looking around, Gu Lingchen discovered that Longhu Mountain was shrouded in an array.

Forcing his way in wouldn't be difficult for Gu Lingchen, but if the formation were destroyed, the treacherous mountain range would definitely be shaken, and countless falling rocks would cause devastating damage to the people on the mountain.

There were so many people at the foot of Longhu Mountain, something Gu Lingchen had never expected.

"Ugh, I'm exhausted."

"How much further is it?"

"Why would I choose to burn incense when I have to choose between going to school and striving for self-improvement?"

"Is it too late to go back now?"

Halfway up the mountain, several college students wearing windproof jackets and carrying trekking poles were panting heavily as they climbed.

"Everyone, hang in there. I've heard that all ten Celestial Masters of Longhu Mountain possess the abilities of immortals."

"My biggest dream in this life is to see it for myself."

"We must get up the mountain today, no matter what."

"come on."

The leader was a short-haired boy whose eyes were filled with the desire to conquer Longhu Mountain.

From their current vantage point, the summit of Longhu Mountain appears to have no end in sight.

This is also what caused their beliefs to collapse.

Mount Tai and Mount Emei are both difficult to climb, but they are winding, undulating mountains with supply stations along the way.

Longhu Mountain is different; the road up the mountain is almost straight up and down, with no gentle slopes or supply stations along the way.

"Everyone, take a break, we'll continue climbing later."

"Xiaoya, how are you? Why don't you let me carry your backpack for you?"

Just then, Gu Lingchen, carrying a coffin, appeared in the distance, stepping through the mist-shrouded mountains. The black coffin was partially obscured by the mist.

The sight instantly sent chills down the spines of many people climbing the mountain.

"Look, everyone!"

"A coffin, a huge coffin flying in the sky."

"Holy crap, wait, there's someone else under the coffin. Is he carrying the coffin and flying?"

"Ah, what kind of method is this?"

The fact that he couldn't go directly up the mountain didn't mean that Gu Lingchen had to walk up the mountain.

Holding the coffin, Gu Lingchen covered hundreds of meters in a single step, and under the gaze of countless people, his figure rose almost vertically with the help of several levers.

It fulfilled countless people's fantasies about the abilities of immortals...
