Chapter 155 Bronze Lamp
Kunlun was high, but compared to Wei Yuan, who was skilled at controlling the wind, it was nothing.
As for Zhang Ruosu.
Being able to live past a hundred years and still be full of energy, Wei Yuan didn't know how high this old Taoist's cultivation was.
The wind and snow fell around them, but were blocked by their own magic and vigor. The two quickly arrived at the highest point of the entire Kunlun Mountain. The old Taoist flicked his sleeve, casting an ancient talisman. Ripples appeared in the void, illusory and ethereal.
Zhang Ruosu turned back and gestured for Wei Yuan to follow him upwards, stepping across this enchantment.
Wei Yuan looked at the entrance to the Kunlun Ruins and the human world's Kunlun Mountain.
He subconsciously gripped his sword, on guard.
Kunlun Mountain was extremely large and high, almost a landmark of the Mountain Sea Realm. As far as Wei Yuan knew, the northwest side of Kunlun Mountain was guarded by the mountain god Lu Wu, with the body of a tiger and nine tails, a human face and tiger claws. The southwest side was guarded by the divine beast Kaiming Beast, with a body like a tiger and nine human-faced heads. One had nine heads, the other nine tails, both with tiger features and human faces.
This level of characteristics was comparable to the candle dragon of Youdu, with a dragon body and a human face.
Its strength was at least above Xiang Liu in ancient times.
His guard and vigilance were almost instinctive.
But then he realized that this was no longer ancient times.
Behind Kunlun Mountain was no longer the Kunlun of the Age of Gods. Moreover, if one really wanted to calculate it, this Kunlun Mountain should have been called Jade Mountain in the Age of Gods. It was the part of the Kunlun Mountains that belonged to the Queen Mother of the West, while the Kunlun Hill was even further away.
Wei Yuan paused, and when he thought of this, he suddenly had a strange feeling.
Perhaps after this enchantment.
There would be a woman with unparalleled beauty and noble bearing looking at him with a smile, and then asking him if he regretted it? For some reason, when Wei Yuan thought of this, he felt a chill run down his spine, and his mouth twitched.
It shouldn't be...
It shouldn't be.
Wei Yuan shook his head and threw this distracting thought to the back of his mind.
Holding his sword, he stepped into the range of the Kunlun Ruins, and then his pupils contracted slightly.
……………………
Empty, desolate, vast.
This was no longer the abode of the gods in the Age of Gods.
It was as if the Kunlun Ruins had simply disappeared.
What remained were large expanses of flat ground, which looked extremely empty and vast. On closer inspection, the flat ground left on these Kunlun Ruins was even larger than the Kunlun Mountain below. Wei Yuan bent down and lightly touched the ground, which was incredibly smooth and flat, and his expression gradually became solemn.
He couldn't see the reason.
But if he thought about it in the most extreme terms.
It was almost like a sword, a sword that reached up to the heavens and down to the nine hells, slashing horizontally across the Kunlun Ruins, completely cutting down the original mountain of the gods. Wei Yuan frowned and couldn't help but recall the legend he had once heard that Mount Buzhou, which was as famous as Kunlun in ancient times, was knocked down by the water god Gonggong.
If one wanted to split Kunlun, one had to be a god comparable to Gonggong.
And be more angry than the original limit, even forgetting life and death, to be able to do it.
Was it a sword, or an axe...
The Yellow Emperor, or Chiyou, or perhaps Xing Tian...
Even Wuzhiqi at its peak, known as the Water Lord, the master of the Huai River God system, extracting the Huai River, one of the four great rivers, to turn into a weapon, could not break Kunlun Mountain, or even shake the true ley lines of this mountain, because Kunlun Mountain represented the foundation of the divine era of Shenzhou.
Wei Yuan's mind flashed through the names of the strongest batch of people he knew who could possibly do this, the emperors of the divine era of Shenzhou, and the two powerhouses who had the title of War God in that terrifying era. Then he remembered that the Yellow Emperor had already left, and Chiyou's body was sealed under the road between the human world and Qingqiu Country.
Xing Tian's head and body were separated and had long been sealed separately.
So, who exactly could do this?
During the Three Kingdoms period, the Queen Mother of the West once descended the mountain. Was it after that?
Also, if Kunlun Mountain was still normal at that time, the Queen Mother of the West would not have tolerated Jue being trapped in danger for so long.
Wei Yuan's mind was churning, but he still couldn't get any results. He had no choice but to silently remember these things. Zhang Ruosu called him over to take a look. Wei Yuan steadied his thoughts and walked over. This place was too vast. Wei Yuan and Zhang Ruosu walked through it, as if walking on a frozen sea, feeling even more insignificant.
It took a long time before they finally found the place where the old Taoist had arrived before.
"This should be where those immortals used to play."
The old Taoist pointed to the front because the terrain itself was lower than the truncated part of the Kunlun Ruins, roughly equivalent to a scenic spot like an underground cave, so it was preserved. From the traces left behind, one could barely feel the glory of that year.
Wei Yuan was originally from the foot of the mountain, and had only come here once when recording Kunlun, so he was not very familiar with this place.
Zhang Ruosu led the way in front, his footsteps paused slightly, and his gaze fell to the ground.
Wei Yuan followed his gaze.
On the white snow, Wei Yuan and the old Taoist saw the bones hidden in the snow, and not just one. Zhang Ruosu narrowed his eyes, reached out and touched the bones. His white eyebrows twitched slightly: "Strange, when the old Taoist came last time, I didn't encounter this thing. Alas, I misjudged it last time."
"I'm old, I'm old."
The old Taoist raised his hand and lightly touched his forehead, his face full of self-deprecation, as if he really misremembered it.
But Wei Yuan sensed something was wrong.
Zhang Ruosu's cultivation would not allow him to make such a misjudgment.
In other words, he was deliberately reminding him that these bones appeared during this period of time, then there was likely to be some kind of demon or beast here, still hiding in the dark...
Wei Yuan quickly reacted and said without changing his expression, "After all, Fellow Daoist is getting old."
"It's normal to misremember things like this."
The two Taoists exchanged glances.
Their expressions were as usual.
Wei Yuan walked forward step by step, sweeping across this place where the gods once gathered. It was once so magnificent and glorious, but in the end, it ended up like this. Naturally, there were many feelings at this moment. Just as he was sighing in his heart, Wei Yuan's gaze froze slightly.
It landed on a stone carving.
The old Taoist noticed Wei Yuan's abnormality and asked, "Fellow Daoist Wei, what's wrong?"
Wei Yuan stared at the stone carving. It was in the shape of a lamp, simple and elegant as a whole. A bird with its wings spread was perched on the lamp. Wei Yuan's eyes recalled scene after scene. When he once climbed Kunlun and recorded this place, he was entertained. At that time, a maid came holding a lamp, just like this one, but at that time it was clearly made of ancient bronze.
He pondered for a moment, reached out his hand, and landed on the stone carving.
The touch was just ordinary stone.
Just as he was thinking about whether to simply pull out this stone carving and carry it down the mountain for Jue to see.
The Kunlun Jade on his pendant showed a trace of warmth.
There were Kunlun cloud patterns personally carved by the heavenly maidens on it, and Jue was the youngest of the Kunlun heavenly maidens, and also the most beloved by the heavenly maidens. A trace of warmth flowed out along Wei Yuan's arm and fell into the Kunlun stone carving. Accompanied by the sound of cracking, the stones on that stone carving shattered, revealing a bronze texture, exactly the same as what he had seen back then.
The dust dissipated, only a glimmer of green light remained lit in the lamp, as if thousands of years had not changed it.
In the rustling sound.
Suddenly, a surge of aura erupted.
The demon hidden in the dark could no longer hold back when it saw this bronze lamp. It directly attacked Wei Yuan's back. Wei Yuan's expression did not change. Holding his sword, he turned around and saw the appearance of the demon. It had transformed into a human form, with a sheep's head and a human body, and four sheep horns, sharp as halberds, with an extremely fierce aura.
Wei Yuan's pupils emitted a golden divine aura.
The old Taoist was stunned, and then seemed to be startled by the main body of this thing: /
"Tu Lou?" (A mythical beast)
The Kunlun Hill is the capital of the emperor Shiwei, and the god Lu Wu manages it. There is a beast there, which looks like a sheep with four horns, named Tu Lou, and it eats people.
Seeing that Zhang Ruosu seemed to be startled, Tu Lou was extremely swift, instinctively spitting out majestic spiritual energy and wind and thunder.
Wei Yuan drew his sword.
Zhang Ruosu then raised his hand, his right hand's Three Mountains Finger directly pointing at the center of Tu Lou's eyebrows. Wei Yuan originally intended to attack, but he saw with his own eyes that the old Taoist sealed Tu Lou's divine soul in an instant. He only sealed it for an instant, but it happened to interrupt the smoothness of this Mountain Sea fierce beast's attack, forcibly holding back the wind and thunder.
The finger technique changed accordingly, pulling downwards, pointing at the base of the nose and throat.
Tu Lou roared and attacked.
The old Taoist moved his feet, appearing on Tu Lou's side with prescience. He stepped forward with his right foot, spun around, and then suddenly raised his left knee, using majestic yang energy, heavily hitting Tu Lou's tailbone three inches up, which was wind, thunder, water, and fire. His right hand seemed to support and send, directly blocking the throat, using yin energy to evolve heaven, earth, mountains, and marshes.
The Eight Trigrams of Taoism.
Inverted combination.
The sound of cracking bones was clear and unmistakable.
Wei Yuan had just drawn his sword, and watched Tu Lou's waist and throat being hit in reverse at the same time, his entire human form almost folded into three. The old Taoist stepped on the fallen Tu Lou with one foot, stroked his chest with one hand, breathed a sigh of cold air, and his face was slightly pale:
"It scared the old Taoist, didn't this thing become extinct long ago?"
"It suddenly jumped out, the old Taoist thought he had misjudged it."
"Huff..."
Wei Yuan looked at the Tu Lou, which was almost folded up directly.
He looked at the old Taoist who was breathing heavily, who seemed to have been startled.
The corner of his mouth twitched.
He silently put away his sword.
ps: Second update today... Thank you Chang Le Zhizu for the ten thousand reward.
No, Yuan and Jue are still clearly in the friend stage, complaint... resistance from the author.
