"The tomb of the living dead at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, the Condor Heroes are extinct in the rivers and lakes." People who have read Jin Yong's martial arts novels must be familiar with the tomb of the living dead. In "The Legend of Condor Heroes", this is the main activity place of Xiaolongnu, and it is also the place where Xiaolongnu and Yang Guo met, fell in love, and lived in seclusion. It can be called the witness of their love. In fact, the tomb of the living dead is the place where Wang Chongyang, the founder of Quanzhen Taoism, practiced Taoism.

The Tomb of the Living Dead is located 40 kilometers southwest of downtown Xi'an, in Chengdao Palace, which is 4 or 5 miles away from Chongyang Palace. After Wang Chongyang failed to fight against the gold, he dug the ground and lived in a cave, calling it "the tomb of the living dead", and hung it with a square plaque, and the book said: "The spiritual seat of Wang Zaima". He lived here for two years, and wrote a seven-jue poem "Tomb of the Living Dead Presented to Ning Bo Gong". True emptiness and tranquility, cut off from the mortal world and the dust of the world", describing his special way of practicing in the tomb of the living dead.

Now the tombs of that year are preserved here, and there is a stele in front of which is engraved with the words "Tomb of the Living Dead". Someone once opened a tomb passage here, and there is indeed a basement inside, but it has been resealed for protection. Although you can't go to the underground palace to find out, martial arts fans with a "condor complex" can still come here to see the places where Wang Chongyang, Xiaolongnv, and Yang Guo lived after seeing the Chongyang Palace.
