Chapter Ninety-Nine: Immortal Scroll
After holding on for a short distance, they finally came to another, more spacious platform. As soon as Lao Gu stepped onto the stone platform, he immediately sat down on the ground with a weak body. And gasped for breath and said, "My grandmother! I can't stand it anymore, kill me... I'm determined not to go up again..."
After walking through this thrilling stretch of road, it is impossible not to breathe. Jiang Qi squatted down at this time, patted Lao Gu's shoulder and said, "Okay, they're all here." โ
"Are you here? Don't you have to keep walking? Gu Jie said without raising his head. It was as if he didn't want to look at the dangling stone path in front of him that almost killed him.
Yu Dong beckoned in front at this time, and everyone followed. Looking at the strong lighting of several lights, several people couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It seems that this path that can be called a peerless danger does not need to be walked again. Because the road ahead of me that continues upward has become a stone staircase built against the mountain.
The stone steps are almost more than 3 meters wide, and they are built by digging the mountain, and the mountain is spiraling straight up. This is much safer than the "Sky Plank Road" just now! The right side is also a cliff, but at least the width and steps make you feel a lot more at ease.
Qin Zhen hurriedly greeted Lao Gu at this time and said, "Hey, buddy! Don't cry and lose your face, come and see! The road ahead is a stone staircase! โ
"Ah......" Gu Jie's listless tone obviously didn't have much confidence in this. He stood up slowly, walked to the stone steps and looked at it, and then said with a little relief: "Yes...... It's like a man's path! Just that place, was it designed for Tarzan of the Apes? I'm all wondering. Who is the one who repaired this temple? What is the mentality of those who build such roads? โ
Yu Dong said on the side at this time: "It may not be deliberately embarrassing, it is very likely that with the passage of time, coupled with mountain movements and large and small avalanches, the plank road that is not wide has been shaken into what it is now." Once that road, it should have been quite spectacular. โ
Lao Gu's reaction was extremely fast, and he immediately grabbed Yu Dong and asked, "Then will this stone step also suddenly fall apart?" "Lao Gu has never trusted this tofu scum project that has been in disrepair for a long time.
Juntian said amusedly on the side: "You have to go up to know if it will fall apart." You'd better pray that there won't be avalanches or earthquakes outside while we walk up the steps. โ
Qin Zhen suddenly discovered that Juntian seemed to be more crow-mouthed than Gu Jie......
Yu Dong was not as idle as Juntian to scare Lao Gu, he just turned his head and asked Jiang Qi, "Is that thing still there?" โ
"Yes." Jiang Qi replied very strictly.
After hearing this, Yudong just nodded slightly and said, "Well, I know, let's go!" โ
No one wants to waste time here, so if you want to rest. It is best to rest when you get to the door of the temple. In this place. It always feels less secure. And if there is a situation, you can't let go at all.
So, after a short pause, Yudong led everyone up the stone steps that seemed to reach the sky.
Several people walked up cautiously one by one. Keep your movements as light as possible. However. When the flashlight shook over the rock wall. They were surprised to find that the rocks here were full of stone carvings!
Juntian stood still and took the portable searchlight. Stick to the rock wall and shine into the distance. I saw that this stone carved petroglyph was like the steps under their feet, as if there was no end at all. The petroglyphs follow the rock walls and stone steps around the mountain. It seems that the end of the final stone staircase is the end of this mural.
Because the whole huge picture scroll is carved in the middle of the mountain, it has never been eroded by the outside world, so it is quite well preserved! Characters, auspicious clouds, magic weapons, mounts, all vivid and realistic!
After reading it, Juntian couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "This is simply the "Immortal Volume" written by Tiangong!" โ
"Immortal Scroll? Can you see who these people are? Qin Zhen asked.
Juntian carefully looked at the shocking stone carvings in front of him, which were more than ten meters high, and said leisurely: "It looks like this, it is the gods and Buddhas of the heavens." I think the end of this road is indeed the Snow Mountain Temple in "The Legend of King Gesar". โ
Qin Zhen said that he agreed with Juntian's statement. While this is indeed somewhat unbelievable, the murals and steps here are clearly artificial. With such a painstaking creation of such a magnificent "holy road", it is impossible to have nothing at the end. Therefore, the palace made of jewels and gold seems to be very close to them!
As they spoke, Yudong had already walked up a dozen more steps. While looking at these huge stone wall petroglyphs, he said in a deep voice: "This place is really like a fairy scroll, and each mural is a representative legendary image of a god and Buddha. From here, to the end, it should be depicted the thirty-three heavens of Buddhism. โ
"Thirty-three heavens?" Lao Gu said nervously: "Dong Shao, where did you get so many heavy heavens?" Ever since I saw the Nine Heavens of the Demon Lord, as long as I mentioned the word heaven again and again, I have a shadow! It's good now, when I get here, I've tripled the Demon King's Nine Heavens and turned around! โ
"Thirty-three heavens is a Buddhist term. Buddhism believes that heaven is the most wonderful, kindest, and happiest place for sentient beings. Only those who have cultivated the ten good karma can enter the heavenly realm. According to Buddhist scriptures, the 33 heavens are composed of 33 cities, such as the Heaven of Joy, the Heaven of Joy, and the Heaven of Purity. And in these thirty-three heavens, there are thirty-three heavenly gods, such as the Great Brahma, the Great Freedom Heaven, the Emperor Shakti, the Devil Mother and so on...... However, all of these are myths and legends that originated in India. Yudong explained lightly.
At this time, Qin Zhen suddenly pointed to a rock wall with a flashlight and said, "Look! Demon Pestle! โ
Several flashlights all shone towards the place that Qin Zhen was pointing at. The image depicted on this rock wall is the great Brahma. And among the magic weapons in Brahma's hand, there is the demon pestle that the demon lord gave to Yudong. Buddha's head and ghost face, triangular sharp weapon.
Looking further up, there is also a god holding this demon pestle. According to Yudong, this god is the god Shiva in Hinduism, which integrates the creation of zร o and the destruction of miรจ, and Buddhism is also known as the great freedom of heaven.
Yu Dong looked at the two gods who had demon slaying pestles on the petroglyphs, and said slowly: "It seems that the ones who can hold this demon slaying pestle are the three main gods. โ
"The three main gods? But we've seen two of them so far. Qin Zhen walked up and carefully observed the petroglyphs. I tried to find the pattern of the demon pestle that I had missed.
Yu Dong looked at Qin Zhen, hooked the corners of his mouth and pulled out a chuckle of unknown meaning: "The three main gods are Brahma, Shiva, and Vishnu. The petroglyphs here seem to be images of the Emperor Shakti and the Great Freedom Heaven. The last one, of course, is the Great Black Sky. โ
That's right! Qin Zhen actually forgot about the god who was most involved with them! Yes, there's also a big black sky. I don't know if the one enshrined in the Golden Wood Palace will be the Great Black God.
Yu Dong carefully observed the magic weapon demon pestle on the petroglyph, and its appearance was exactly the same as the one in his hand! Especially the weird shape on the end of the handle, without exception, can be found on almost every petroglyph! Some of these patterns are on the clothes of the gods and Buddhas, some are on the ornaments of the jewels, some are on the armor of the mounts, in short...... Each of the thirty-three heavens bears that symbol.
"What does this mean in particular......" Joonte cupped his forehead and inadvertently brushed away the broken hair that was blocking half of his face. And at that moment, Qin Zhen happened to find that those red lines seemed to suddenly flash on the half of Juntian's face!
Qin Zhen couldn't help but snort lightly, because judging from the previous situation, only when he encountered extreme danger, the blood-colored marks on Jun Tian's face would appear! This...... Does this mean that they are about to encounter unknowable dangers? But why didn't they even notice it? Or, as Juntian said, he couldn't fully control that domineering power......?
Qin Zhen's abnormal behavior of looking at Juntian in a daze because of surprise naturally attracted the attention of Juntian and Yudong. This is probably also because Qin Zhen subconsciously shone the flashlight on Juntian's face, and looked at him in a daze, but he didn't know it......
Juntian narrowed his eyes slightly, but he didn't avoid Qin Zhen's flashlight, but asked coldly in a condescending attitude: "Qin Zhen, do you think I'm Da Heitian?" Could it be that I also have that weird pattern on my face? As he spoke, he deliberately approached Qin Zhen suddenly. As if he wanted him to see more clearly.
The position where Juntian was standing was originally two levels higher than Qin Zhen, and at this time, he suddenly approached so closely, startling Qin Zhen a lot.
Realizing his gaffe, Qin Zhen hurriedly removed the flashlight and said, "No, it's nothing......"
Yu Dong also felt that something was wrong when he looked at Qin Zhen like this, so he pulled Juntian by the hand, let him face him, and then carefully looked at his face.
In the end, Yu Dong didn't see anything, so he had to frown suspiciously. But Juntian slapped Yu Dong's hand away and said coldly and angrily: "Xia Yudong! His nerves are just that, and you follow the nerves? โ
"Juntian, do you think there's something wrong with you?" Yu Dong asked seriously.
"Nope. What's wrong with me? Jun Tian subconsciously touched his face. Probably he could also realize that Qin Zhen and Yu Dong's surprise was likely to come from his face......
Qin Zhen looked at it, and hurriedly smiled and said, "Brother Jun, it's okay, it's okay!" Just now, I just happened to see your handsome and charming face, and I couldn't help but feel a little emotional, why is there such a big gap between human faces and human faces? If I were to look like you, I guess the children would be running all over the place. But then I thought about it, looking at Lao Gu's face, and then thinking about myself, I felt very content and balanced. Qin Zhen was duplicitous and engaged in irrelevant jokes. First, he didn't want to distract Juntian at this time, and secondly, the red lines on Juntian's face just now were fleeting, and now he wasn't sure if he really saw it. (To be continued......)
