Prologue: Mysterious Ruins
The night was deep.
The north peak of Mount Huashan was pitch black and silent, with only a few fireflies flickering occasionally.
The mountainside was not quiet, with wild beasts roaring, tigers roaring and apes crying, and all kinds of sounds reaching into the sky one after another, as if they could break away the clouds.
But those wild beasts only roamed the mountainside, and few dared to stop at the top of the mountain, and occasionally a few fierce beast kings would stay for a moment, but they soon shivered as if they were being targeted by a fierce beast that was a hundred times more ferocious than them, and quickly fled.
There is a Taoist temple on the north peak, lonely, I don't know who built it, I don't know when it was built, it seems to exist forever.
There was no one in the temple, the ground was covered with dead leaves and dust, and a wooden statue of the god enshrined in the center was covered with cobwebs because no one had wiped it for a long time.
The strange thing is that in such an abandoned Taoist temple, the three incense sticks in front of the statue have never been broken, the sparks flickering in front of the ancient statue, and the empty eyes of the statue have been staring at the incense, there seems to be some kind of connection between the two, revealing endless strangeness.
Suddenly, there was a strange sound in the silent and strange Taoist temple, and the dilapidated statue suddenly shook, the dust fell, the cobwebs also broke, and the incense in front of the statue flickered and disappeared with a strange rhythm, as if it was calling something across time and space......
"Whew!"
Two dark cyan beams of light suddenly shot out from the pupils of the idol with empty eyes, rushing straight through the clouds and towards the sky, and the fierce birds and beasts in the mountains roared, and they all roared and roared towards the beams.
"Brush!"
The statue that was sitting cross-legged stood up, and in an instant, an inexplicable aura emanated, making the originally restless fierce birds and beasts hibernate in an instant, not daring to make the slightest sound.
The idol that could not have been a living creature really came to life, with a cloak scattered, and its movements were a little stiff and dust fell from time to time, but it seemed to be able to hook the heavens and the earth, making the mountains tremble, and after the dark blue light in his eyes dissipated, he revealed a pair of cold and ruthless eyes, ignoring the heavens, the earth and the living beings. All beasts have feelings, and the original inexplicable fear stems from this statue.
"Huh?"
The idol seemed to sense something, and turned its head mechanically, looking at the south peak of Huashan, if anyone was here, they would definitely be scared half to death, the neck of the idol did not twist like an ordinary person, but turned the whole head a quarter of a circle like a ghost, and then stopped in that direction, the sound of wood rubbing was cold and terrifying.
It moves!
One step forward, the surrounding scene regressed, and the statue of the god appeared on the top of the south peak of Mount Huashan almost instantly, standing in the void, staring at a certain place on the south peak, like a god king patrolling the mortal world in the lower realm, and the aura around his body seemed to collapse the entire Gu Yue!
The sand and gravel in the mountains were splashed, the dust was filled, and even a few cracks appeared on the ground, and the gods and ancient beasts were terrified, and they were overwhelmed by that breath, kneeling on the ground and shivering, and some weak beasts even had a trace of blood spilling out of their fur.
At this moment, in a certain forest on the south peak, a soft light appeared from a distance, swaying like fireflies in this endless darkness, so small, but isolated from the terrifying aura emanating from the idol.
If you look closely, you will find that there are pieces of broken walls and a few broken stone tablets in the bushes, and only a few pieces of rags are left around the doors and windows scattered on the ground, which looks dilapidated. It can be seen that this is the site of an ancient building, this ruin is so decayed that even if anyone finds it, it will only be regarded as an ordinary building that has disappeared in the years, and no one will delve into its origin, but now these broken bricks and stone tablets actually emit wisps of light as if there were life fluctuations to block the formidable statue.
The idol in the void stared at the ruins coldly and ruthlessly, and the aura around him became heavier and heavier, as if even the void around him was about to collapse, but no matter how strong the aura was, the light could always isolate it, and not even a trace could leak in, so after a long confrontation, the idol seemed to have given up, putting away its terrifying aura, and at the same time, the light in the ruins slowly dimmed.
"They have been dead for 10,000 years, and a wisp of obsession will not go away, can you stop it when my real body comes?"
The statue didn't really speak, and after a spiritual fluctuation, it turned around and sat down in the middle of the Taoist temple on the north peak, as if it had fallen into a deep sleep again.
In the mysterious ruins, the soft light lit up again, turning into points of light and scattering to all sides of the South Peak, the ground that had just cracked was closed again, and the injured beast was also rejuvenated after bathing in the points of light, and the entire South Peak was restored to its original appearance.
The sky gradually turned white, and occasionally a little morning glow appeared, making the sky appear clearer and clearer, and a new day was coming, and no one knew what terrible things had happened last night.
