Chapter 6: The Change of Nantianmen
Qin Tian looked up, Nantianmen was like a huge monster in front of him, full of red walls, a yellow glazed tile roof, the forehead inscription "Nantianmen" three words, it was indeed majestic after reading it.
Qin Tian remembered the description of this place in his grandfather's diary, saying that "the earth has auspicious energy, and the soil rises with it", which should be the direction of the terrain here, but what clues will there be here?
"When the earth is auspicious, the earth rises with it."
Suddenly, the crazy old man on the side spoke, Qin Tian looked sideways at the crazy old man in surprise, what he said was the same as what his grandfather said in his diary, could it be that he knew his grandfather or had something to do with his grandfather's disappearance?
"How do you know that?"
"Divination, and it's not that simple."
The crazy old man raised the tortoise shell in his hand and said casually.
"I'm afraid it wasn't easy for the ancients to build this Nantianmen, as far as I know, in addition to this Taishan Nantianmen, there are many locations with Nantianmen."
After hearing the words of the crazy old man, Qin Tian felt that there was some truth, why were the ancients so keen on establishing the Nantian Gate?
Although the Nantianmen is the entrance to the human world and the immortal world in myths and legends, and it is also the main gate of the ancient heavenly court, did those ancients hope to pass through the Nantianmen and arrive at the heavenly court to become immortals and immortals?
Moreover, in his grandfather's diary, he also mentioned the gate of the ancient heavenly court ruins, that is, the South Heavenly Gate in front of him may really be related to the mythical and legendary heavenly court.
Even so, this Nantian Gate is indeed not simple, but with Qin Tian's current ability, it is impossible to figure it out, just the ruins of the Ancient Heavenly Court mentioned by Grandpa, to be honest, Qin Tian has not seen it yet.
"Do you know the ruins of the Ancient Heavenly Court?"
Qin Tian tried to ask the crazy old man beside him, thinking that he had a good knowledge, maybe he would know something.
The crazy old man shook his head, although he was proficient in divination and fortune-telling, he still didn't know much about myths and stories.
"Ancient Heavenly Court Ruins? It sounds a bit like the heavenly court of myths and legends, you won't think this is it, it's impossible. ”
Under the crazy old man's joking answer, Qin Tian nodded hesitantly, thinking that this Nantian Gate was very likely to be the gate of the ancient Heavenly Court ruins, after all, grandpa would not deceive people.
"You really believe it, okay, okay, let's go, this is an attraction now."
The crazy old man didn't want to talk to Qin Tian about these illusory things, and strode towards the inside of the South Heaven Gate, he just wanted to take Qin Tian to finish walking around Mount Tai quickly, and then ask him to borrow the jade talisman for a look.
Qin Tian followed the crazy old man and walked forward, it was indeed the same as the crazy old man said, no matter how strange Nantianmen was, it was only in the past tense, and now it was just a scenic spot for people to take pictures.
Stepping through the Nantian Gate, Qin Tian found that the crazy old man's face suddenly changed, the tortoise shell in his hand instantly turned milky white, and a faint fragrance like milk escaped.
The crazy old man quickly took out a piece of dark yellow rune paper from his bag, pasted it in the middle of the tortoise shell, and at the same time smeared a little dark red blood on his left hand and drew strange words on the rune paper.
Qin Tian looked at the crazy old man's series of actions curiously, this was as exciting as the plot in a fantasy novel.
"What's going on?"
The crazy old man drew the rune paper by himself, ignoring Qin Tian, his face gradually became a little more dignified, and large drops of sweat fell down his face to the ground.
The words on the rune paper became clearer and clearer, and Qin Tian felt a little familiar when he looked at it, like a kind of oracle bone inscription he learned in college, but he still didn't know what the specific words were.
As the words on the rune paper appeared and printed on the tortoise shell, the milky white tortoise shell gradually gathered its luster and returned to its usual color, leaving only a little light to swim in it.
Seeing this, the crazy old man also let out a long sigh, completely relieved, looked at Qin Tian who looked curious on the side and said,
"Boy, I believe you now, this Nantianmen is really a little strange, we just stepped over, this tortoise shell actually happened to this situation, if I didn't bring this bottle of blood, maybe I would encounter some strange things when I went up."
"However, since it is the ruins of the Ancient Heavenly Court, how can these ghost things appear?"
Qin Tian listened to the crazy old man's incomprehensible words and didn't understand what those ghost things were, but this also proved that the queen of Nantian Gate was really extraordinary.
"Then let's go, there's still some way to go, as for that, can you tell me about it?"
There is definitely no way for the two of them to crack the secret of Nantianmen, so it is better to go to Daiding first to take a look, maybe there will be new discoveries.
The crazy old man nodded, after the strange tortoise shell discoloration, even the mysterious crazy old man had to be a little vigilant.
"After passing the Nantian Gate just now, we were very unlucky to bump into a Yin soldier, and it turned out to be from the underworld, if it weren't for the fact that the bottle of blood and yang qi I brought with me was very sufficient, otherwise the two of us would probably have to explain here."
"You won't tell me that we met a Yin soldier, it's too much like the plot of a novel."
After hearing this, Qin Tian remembered a novel he had read, which talked about Yin Bing's excuse, but it was a false novel after all, how could there be such a ridiculous thing in reality.
The crazy old man glanced at Qin Tian blankly, thinking that Qin Tian was too imaginative, and patiently explained to Qin Tian,
"Yin soldiers borrow the way? That's not it, I guess it was just a random bump, after all, there was a major incident here thirty years ago, and the Yin soldiers from the underworld came to take away the unjust spirits who didn't want to leave here. ”
Qin Tian nodded suddenly, although the existence of the Yin Soldier is still a bit unbelievable, but it is better to accept it than the Yin Soldier borrowing the Dao, after all, Mount Tai is the Venerable of the Five Mountains, and it is too weird for the Yin Soldier to borrow the Dao.
They continued to advance towards Daiding, and along the way, the crazy old man changed his previous taciturn attitude and patiently explained to Qin Tian what happened to the Yin soldiers just now.
"Originally, Mount Tai was the most yang, and it was impossible for Yin soldiers to appear, but if it was the Yin soldiers of the underworld who came to collect the souls of the wronged, it would be a different matter, they were on a mission to perform on duty, and it was recognized that they appeared in the Yang Realm for a short time."
"Then why did it appear behind the Nantian Gate? Is it really the ruins of the Ancient Heavenly Court as I said? This question has been swirling in Qin Tian's heart, and it stands to reason that the Yin Soldier does not appear where it should not appear.
"This is also my doubt, if it weren't for the Yin Soldier's presence there because of its mission, then there must be some special reason, and I can't answer this for the time being."
The crazy old man shook his head, saying that he didn't know the answer either, after all, when it came to myths and legends, he might even be inferior to Qin Tian.
Forget it, don't get entangled, Qin Tian comforted himself like this in his heart, anyway, the Yin soldiers are gone, and the main purpose of his trip is not to investigate where they appeared, but to go to the top of the Jade Emperor first, which is also the most important place in Grandpa's diary.
