Chapter 53: The Palace
For a long time, the two flew for an unknown amount of time and finally came to the foot of the mountain.
Standing at the foot of the mountain to know what is called magnificent, what the world's highest peak, Mount Everest, is nothing compared to this mountain.
The peak of tens of thousands of meters is majestic, majestic and upright, and the vicissitudes of life are coming.
"Hiko, have you ever seen such a high mountain?"
Wang Ye had never seen such a high mountain, he couldn't imagine how such a mountain was formed, and he couldn't describe it as a giant mountain.
"No, the movement of the earth's crust extrudes to form mountains, but the mountains formed are affected by various external factors, and it is difficult to imagine how many years it will take for such a high mountain."
Hikoya looked at this mountain in shock, in her thousands of years of life, she had seen many mountains, but it was also the first time she had seen a mountain like this.
But what shocked the two the most was the rolling palace complex on the mountainside.
This palace occupies thousands of miles on the mountainside, covering the sky and the sun. Several streams flow through the palace walls, mighty and mighty.
A few dozen steps away is a pavilion, the corridor lingers like a ribbon, and the teeth are arranged like cornices pecking high like a bird's beak. The pavilions are built according to the slope of the terrain, and the lower corners hook the high center of the house, and the corners of the houses facing each other side by side. Coiled and staggered, twists and turns. The whole palace complex is like a dense beehive, like a swirling water vortex, towering high, and I don't know how many tens of millions of it has.
If there is no cloud, why are there dragons? It turned out to be a long bridge lying on the waves. It's not that the rain is sunny and the sky is clear, why is there a rainbow? It turned out to be a flyover walking in the air. High and low, deep and blurred, making it impossible to distinguish things. A winding stone staircase leads from the foot of the mountain to the palace on the mountainside.
This palace complex can no longer be described as luxurious and solemn. Quaint, heavy, majestic and other words you can think of to describe it can be well reflected.
At this time, the two of them were already stunned and silent for a long time.
Asgard.
Wang Ye felt that it was appropriate to use the fairy palace to describe it, but only the fairy palace that existed in people's fantasies but had never seen it was worthy of it.
Hiko felt that this place was more magnificent and solemn than the City of Angels. Compared to the City of Angels, it is undoubtedly more like a royal palace, more suitable for a great king.
"Go up?"
Wang Ye turned his head to Yan who was holding Xiao Xiaoyue and asked.
Yan came back to his senses when he heard Wang Ye's voice and said, "Come on, why don't you go up!" ”
"Fly up?"
"Walking, if there is a powerful presence in the palace, it is a faux pas."
Yan's words made Wang Ye pout secretly, there are so many rules for angels.
After that, the two of them didn't say anything, and walked side by side along the path to the palace on the mountainside. Looking up at the palace on the horizon, both of them couldn't help but feel like devout believers going to worship.
The path winds and turns, sometimes walking on top of the rocks, sometimes sinking between the boulders, twisting and turning.
The mountain road is very long, and the physical fitness of the two of them is also good, one is now the strength of the second-generation divine body, and the other is a high-level guardian angel, and he doesn't feel tired.
Along the way, there are strange rocks and cliffs, but the cliffs have a unique flavor.
After several hours of climbing, the two finally saw the end of the mountain road. Climbing the mountain road, you can see a platform, the whole platform is made of huge ashlar stones, each of which is carved with intricate ornamentation.
Across the square is the main entrance to the palace complex. Only when you are really close can you deeply appreciate the grandeur of this building.
A huge bronze door blocked the gaze of those who wanted to peep inward, and on both sides of the bronze door, four thick golden pillars carved dragons and phoenixes, and a broken plaque hung diagonally on the eaves.
"It seems that there is no one here, otherwise how could the plaque be broken and hung on the eaves at will."
Wang Ye knows that the plaque is like a façade, which represents the status and cultural heritage of the owner's family.
In ancient times, the more noble the status, the more powerful people paid more attention to the plaque, which was also a status symbol to a certain extent.
Hiko carefully looked around and saw that many places had accumulated as dust and had not been cleaned up for a long time.
"Looks like there's been no one for a long time."
The two of them came to the bronze gate together, Wang Ye looked up at the broken plaque hanging obliquely, and could vaguely see the words Kunlun on it, but the two words on the back were the same as the huge ancient monument in the hall outside, which had long been indistinguishable or had been shattered.
"Wang Ye, come here, there are words here."
Yan stood in front of the golden pillar on the left, looked up at the words on the giant pillar, and shouted to Wang Ye on the side.
"Here we are."
Wang Ye agreed, came to Yan's side and looked at the words on the giant pillar. He was curious to know what it was, but the most valuable clues were undoubtedly the ancient monument and the broken plaque outside. But both of them are badly damaged, and they can only vaguely distinguish the word Kunlun, and the latter two words are not clear or have been destroyed.
The words on the giant pillar are also golden texts, and Wang Ye carefully identified them.
"Kunlun Cave Heaven."
Wang Ye carefully identified it for a long time and finally confirmed that these big characters were Kunlun Cave Heaven. Therefore, Wang Ye also has a basic conjecture here, this is where a cave is located, and it is a supreme power to create.
But who is this power?
Recognizing the words on this side, Wang Ye hurriedly came to the other side, he wanted to find the answer from the giant pillar on the other side. Usually the couplets are symmetrical, and since there is a word on the left pillar, there should also be a word on the right.
Sure enough, there are also five big characters on the giant pillar on the right. From beginning to end, Wang Ye carefully identified each word by word, listed several possibilities for the existence of each word, and compared them one by one.
Wang Ye recognized these five words for a long time, and finally recognized them, but the meaning of these five words was too great, which made Wang Ye sweat coldly and tremble in his heart.
"Yaochi Immortal Blessed Land."
Yaochi, what does it represent? This is the head of the fairy in myths and legends, and she also has a thunderous title - Queen Mother of the West.
In myths and legends, the Queen Mother of the West is the goddess of immortality who is in charge of immortal medicine, punishes evil, and warns of disasters. In Taoist mythology, the Queen Mother of the West lives in the Kunlun Mountains in the west and is the leader of the female immortals, who dominates the yin qi, as opposed to the head of the male immortals, the Eastern Prince. She is the goddess of creation who gives birth to all things. In some Qiang mythology, the Queen Mother of the West is also sometimes considered to be the creator god.
Even now, there are records about the Queen Mother of the West in many ancient books and legends. The Shang Dynasty's "Returning to Tibet" compares with the "Zhou Yi" of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and it can be seen that the Queen Mother has the elixir of immortality. In "The Bamboo Book Chronicle", the image of the Queen Mother of the West is a graceful image of a female emperor. The image in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" is: "Its shape is like a person, the leopard tail and tiger teeth are good at howling, and the hoopoe is fluffy, which is the power of Si Tian and the five remnants." ”
Wang Ye didn't dare to imagine that if this was the residence of this great god, then what happened to make her give up here, and where did this great god go?
