Volume 2 Troubled Times Chapter 125 The Secret Land of the Mountains (I)
The deep ridge of Huanglong Mountain
An inconspicuous wild mountain, halfway up the mountain, there is a rock wall that is slightly smooth, and it should be covered with mossy vegetation but it is as clean as if it has just been washed and dried, but it is also buried in this barren mountain and wild place, and it is inconspicuous.
I wanted to raise my hand to caress it, but I found that the mountain body could melt through the past without hindrance, and in a trance in front of me, I turned out of another world.
When I woke up again, I was already standing on a plank road that started from the middle of the mountain, and this plank road stretched down against the mountain and disappeared into the dense forest at the foot of the mountain. In the endless forest, you can only hear the sound of birds, beasts, and streams, and just when you thought that the world was completely covered by vegetation, a vast world suddenly appeared in the vista, like an oasis in the desert.
Different from the slightly noisy dense forest, the quiet sound of even the wind blowing the grass blades here is very clear, and the flat low grass is all over the view, and any piece of grass that is higher than it seems abrupt. A few towering trees stand in it, and it has become a good place for retreat. And the most conspicuous thing in this area is the ancient tree in the middle of the sky.
From a distance, it shrouded the area like a mushroom cloud rising from the ground, and I felt that there seemed to be a sharp eye watching me. Trepided, the ancient tree stood in front of him like a palace, surrounded by ancient trees, but they were less than half a minute wide, the trunk skin was cracked into countless dragon-like lines around the trunk coiled upward, and the huge branches and leaves enveloped the area formed a sharp contrast of light and shadow and temperature with the outside world.
When he was sighing at the appearance of this ancient tree, he suddenly found that something seemed to be pressed under the tree - the white stone body that was intertwined and entrenched, and the deep carvings that penetrated into the bones, like a blurred beast lying nearby, and then looked closely, it was clear that it was a giant snake statue entrenched here.
The huge snake's head squeezed out of its body, and its mouth allowed the snake to believe it, and a pair of blood-red eyes seemed to be scrutinizing, and it seemed to be contemptuous of the thing in front of it.
Hurriedly avoided this sight, but found that a stone door with a width of zhang appeared in the corner of the stone body, and there was a stone snake standing on the left and right sides in front of the door, which seemed to be a doorman, which was quite similar to the coiled snake pressed by the ancient tree. And the edge of the door was engraved with rune patterns side by side, and when the stone door opened, it glowed with a blood-red color that was indistinguishable from the snake's pupils.
It took a while to get used to it, thinking that the interior was similar to the structure of the palace, but who wanted to face it was a straight staircase with the same width as the walls on both sides, and there was nothing else in this wide and dim space except for the faint white light below that could reflect a little light.
"Dash...... Da ...... Da-da-"
The staircase was quite deep, and the faint white light that had been walking for a long time had become stronger, and after the last section had settled, it was already as bright as day.
"Phew—is there still such a scene in this place?"
Zhang Fan panted slightly, opened a gap in his fine eyes and looked around, although it was not obvious, but it was already the most surprised expression in his eyes.
I saw that a few people were standing on a suspended platform, which was connected by a stout object that resembled the roots of a tree, which was wide enough to accommodate several cars side by side without being half crowded.
"Da-"
As soon as I got down to the end of the tree's roots, I felt that a noise extinguished the sense of underground silence.
"Whew-"
A gust of wind hit, Xiao Li was startled, only to feel that something was running from the side, hurriedly dodged so that he didn't hit a strong one, and then stabilized his body to look, it turned out to be a white horse, and there was only a background galloping away. It's just that the place where it runs wildly is full of traffic and people, but it is not disturbed at all, and the pedestrians are extremely light and subtle to avoid each other, which seems to be as elegant as the "light work" in film and television dramas.
And the countless figures, whether in clothing or appearance, are all white skin, delicate faces, how graceful the women are and how strong the men are—there is no doubt that they are the Nine-Tails.
The road is very wide, stretching out in all directions with countless branches, each branch either up or down, and then falling in a vast area, there are villages in the forest, noisy cities, and quiet places for chatting and cultivating. Only the "sky" overhead, shining like the sun but not dazzling at all, covered all corners.
"The sky is so beautiful."
Zhang Fan pointed to the ethereal white light in the sky and praised, but Sang Luo on the side smiled bitterly: "In the eyes of my clan, it is far less rainy than the outside world. ”
Xiaoli, Zhang Fan and Lu Yushan were puzzled by what they meant, and Sang Luo was obviously reluctant to mention it, so he quickly led a few people to a building similar to a sentry box, where there was a pair of young men and women snuggling and talking, and after seeing Sang Luo, he hurriedly stepped forward, raised one hand and stretched out four fingers, put his palm on the side of his ear and bowed slightly, and then asked:
"Your Excellency wants to go back to the Hall of Elders?"
Sang Luo saluted with the same gesture, which is a unique etiquette here. Then Sang Luo signaled, the couple immediately lowered their bodies and turned lightly, a burst of light emanated from all over the body, and the figure gradually changed and elongated in the light, until it could no longer be extended, and the light gradually faded, and Zhang Fan stayed in place for a long time speechless.
The slender fairy legs like a white crane, the tail feathers of peacock satin, the lines of the extremely slender and graceful neck slightly tilted back, a pair of thin beaks pecked delicately and delicately, a pair of Peng wings slightly retracted, and suddenly unfolded in front of these mortals, and the originally extinguished light and light appeared again, and the purple edges of the wings scattered countless fine light dust drifted around with the breeze.
As if reborn from the fire, the soft light in the sky will be dim by a hundred?!
"Feng ...... Feng Feng ...... Phoenix! ”
Zhang Fan was so shocked that he finally called out.
…………
Phoenix: The phoenix has six elephants and nine buds. "The head is like the sky, the eyes are like the sun, the back is like the moon, the wings are like the wind, the feet are like the earth, and the tail is like the weft. Nine buds, mouth life, heart fit, deafness, tongue stretching, color brilliance, crown moment Zhu, distance sharp hook, sound excited, abdominal Wenhu. Xingming said to return to play, stop singing to help, night Ming said good, morning Ming said He Shi, Feiming said Langdu, food only sycamore bamboo. Therefore, the son wants to live in Jiuyi, from Fengxi. Things fly and give birth to children. - The Analects of Confucius
