Chapter 40: Kunlun

If you have to use an Internet term to describe Ye Tian, the word "otaku" is very appropriate, since Ye Tian came to the capital, he has been nesting in his own residence every day, becoming a lady who does not go out of the door. Sometimes, the people arranged by the 749 Bureau to monitor him next door to Ye Tian were all wondering how such a person could solve his food and clothing problems.

Ye Tian had been in this world for more than a year, but he was not in a hurry to leave, because he was deeply attracted by some hidden things in the secrets of the ghost clan.

For more than a year, Ye Tian discovered that there was a macrocosm hidden behind this world in the archaeological materials left by Professor Yang. The words alien ghost race, resurrection, immortality, and refinement mentioned in the materials deeply attracted Ye Tian.

The ghost clan, according to Professor Yang's archaeological records and the confidential files provided by the 749 Bureau.

About 10,000 years ago, a group of people who called themselves the Ghost Cave Clan walked out of Kunlun and came to the Western Regions to establish a country called "Exquisite Country", their king was a woman, revered as "Exquisite Queen", and with a civilization far beyond humans, they soon ruled the entire earth.

Their ancestors came from the Ghost Star and were the true owners of the Nine-Story Demon Tower. The Ghost Cave Clan is sparsely populated, and the Nine-Story Demon Tower is a giant blood exchange machine, transforming humans into their own race through blood exchange.

At the critical juncture when the human race was about to perish, one of the heroes of the human race, Prince Yi, led the human race to set off a war against the rule of the Ghost Cave Clan. The rebel army won one after another, and in the end, Prince Yi sealed the nine-story demon tower with his body, so that the human race won the final victory.

However, although most of the Ghost Cave Clan were wiped out, a few leaders fled the Earth. There are also some Oni Cave Clans who are hiding on Earth, and they gradually acquire the form of humans through intermarriage with humans, and call themselves Oni Clan.

The ghost clan has been passed down from generation to generation, and only by reopening the nine-story demon tower can the leader of the ghost star people return to Earth and crack the death curse on them. When every ghost clan lives to be forty or fifty years old, they will inexplicably spontaneously combust.

Of course, these are all the words of Professor Yang and the 749 Bureau, through archaeology.

Ye Tian believes that it is very likely that only the "Absolute Queen" is from the Ghost Star, and the so-called Ghost Cave Clan is actually a slave she trained through the nine-story demon tower to exchange blood for the captured humans.

However, in order to obtain more slaves, the "Elite Queen" had the Ghost Cave Clan establish the "Elite Kingdom" in the north of the Kunlun Mountains to facilitate their capture of humans for themselves.

Moreover, the "Absolute Queen" did not rule the earth, but only the entire Western Regions.

There is also Prince Yi, if he is a human being, why did the human race at that time face the ghost cave clan, why was he forced to almost perish. Unless he's a descendant of humans and the Ghost Cave Clan, or a hostile alien force from the Absolute Queen. Then, Prince Yi's statement that he used his body to seal the nine-story demon tower makes sense. Of course, the possibility of being mythologized is not ruled out.

Ye Tian also obtained a lot of information from these materials, such as the Kunlun Giant Beast, the Red Lion and the Fire Bat, just like the pets raised by the ghost stars, who are now guarding the ruins of the nine-story demon tower, waiting for the return of the masters.

As for the spontaneous combustion of the ghost people, Ye Tian guessed that it was the reason why the ghost star bloodline and the human bloodline were mutually exclusive. The bloodline of the ghost people is like *, lurking in the human body of the ghost clan. With the passage of time, because of the decline of human body functions, the balance between the two bloodlines has been broken, so that the bloodline of the ghost star people like * will explode, and the phenomenon of spontaneous combustion of the ghost people will occur.

However, these are all secondary, what really attracts Ye Tian is the word "immortality". Ye Tian focused on the Kunlun giant beast and fire bat, which had lived for more than 10,000 years.

A year ago, in order to verify the conjecture of the fire bat that was packed into the space, Ye Tian bought a live chicken and used the same way to pack the live chicken, but it could not be stored in the space. So, the fire bat is a dead thing.

Ye Tian opened the box in the space and found that all the fire bats inside were motionless like dead things. Curious, Ye Tian wrapped it with his mental power and took out one, and when the fire bat left the space, it immediately became alive, and its body turned blue. However, after being pinched and exploded by Ye Tian with his mental power, his entire body turned into ashes.

What kind of power is it that allows a dead species to survive for 10,000 years as if it were a living thing? This made Ye Tian have a strong interest in the "Exquisite Queen".

Professor Yang's father and daughter and Hu Bayi are likely to be descendants of the ghost clan, and Professor Yang's father and daughter have disappeared. At present, Hu Bayi has also been under the surveillance of Ye Tian's spy insects.

"Looks like I have to go to the Kunlun Mountains...... The starting point of all questions is also the origin of all answers......" Ye Tian closed the book, looked at the green poplar trees outside the window, and said softly.

......

It was night, and a small multi-storey building in the compound of the headquarters of the 749 Bureau was brightly lit.

"Da ......" A rush of footsteps sounded in the corridor of the small building.

"Bang......" Han Jiuyang, who was looking at the materials in the office, was taken aback by the sudden sound of the door opening.

Raising his eyes, when he saw the person clearly, Han Jiuyang asked with a dissatisfied face: "Cao Weiwei, what's the matter with you......"

"Director, Ye Tian is gone......" Cao Weiwei, who had long hair over a shawl and was wearing a windbreaker, stood at the door and said eagerly.

"When did you find out?" Han Jiuyang hurriedly stood up and walked out of the door.

"Just now, Lao Li called, since nightfall, he saw that the light in Ye Tian's room had not been on, and no one responded when he knocked on the door, so he couldn't break the door, and found that Ye Tian was not in the room, so he quickly called the bureau......" Cao Weiwei followed behind Han Jiuyang to report the situation.

Han Jiuyang didn't speak, got out of the small building and drove towards Ye Tian's residence. When Han Jiuyang took Cao Weiwei to Ye Tian's residence, Chen Dong had already taken seven or eight people to rummage in the room for something.

"Director, this is a note left by Ye Tian...... In addition, in addition to the archaeological map of Kunlun Mountain drawn by Professor Yang and some related materials, as well as some religious books. Besides, nothing else was taken away......" Seeing Han Jiuyang walk in, Chen Dong hurriedly greeted him and reported.

"I'll go to Kunlun Mountain to confirm some conjectures, and wait for my news ......" Han Jiuyang read the words on the note in a low voice, frowned and looked at Chen Dong and asked, "Didn't bring anything?" ”

"Yes, he seems to be in a hurry, and he didn't even bring some changes of clothes...... Chen Dong also felt strange, but he still replied truthfully.

"When did you find out ......" Han Jiuyang walked into the room and looked at everything in the room, which was indeed the same as what Chen Dong said.

"Forty-seven minutes have passed since Lao Li called...... Cao Weiwei replied by looking at the watch on her wrist.

"It's not too late, he can only take the train to Kunlun Mountain, immediately send someone to the airport, train station, and bus station, and don't let it go, you must find someone......" Han Jiuyang looked at the open window in front of his desk and said.

"Yes......" Cao Weiwei responded.

"Wait, send Ye Tian's photo to the people in the blue sea, let the other side pay attention to it, go quickly......" Cao Weiwei was just about to leave, but was stopped by Han Jiuyang.

"Yes......"

However, it was going to disappoint Han Jiuyang, because he never thought that Ye Tian didn't plan to take the car at all, but flew away directly.

At this time, Ye Tian was holding an inner armor on the edge of the Yellow River and putting it on his body. The previous inner armor, after arriving in the capital, Ye Tian took it off to Cao Weiwei.

After putting on the inner armor, he put the tunic suit that was given to him in the 749 bureau on the outside. Looking at the turbulent Yellow River below, it shows an indescribable beauty in the night. After staying for a while, Ye Tian flew to the southwest in the right direction, he had to rush to the Kunlun Mountains before dawn, it was always not good to be seen flying during the day.

......

"Director, to the Blue Ocean Province, planes, flights, train numbers, as well as bus stations, and the ticket office have arranged our people, and Ye Tian has not been found yet......" Cao Weiwei called Han Jiuyang at the train station to report.

"How did such a big living person disappear out of thin air......" Han Jiuyang muttered to himself.

"Director, do you have any other orders?" Hearing Han Jiuyang's small voice, Cao Weiwei asked.

"Oh...... No, you let people continue to stare at it, if you haven't found it at dawn, come back, you also go back and prepare, you will go to Lanhai Province tomorrow, be sure to find Ye Tian......"

"Yes, Director......" Cao Weiwei hung up the phone and looked at the train on the platform, her eyes flashing with determination.

......

At the beginning of the day, Ye Tian hung above the 10,000-meter-high altitude of the Kunlun Mountains, looking down at the magnificent mountains at his feet, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

The Kunlun Mountains, from the east of Central Asia in the west, stretch for thousands of miles in the east, traversing half of China. The ancients respected Kunlun Mountain as "the ancestor of ten thousand mountains", "the ancestor of the dragon vein", "dragon mountain" and "ancestral dragon". 、

Ye Tian's favorite ancient geography book "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" records.

In the "Xishan Sutra": 400 miles to the southwest, it is said that the hill of Kunlun is the capital of the emperor, and the god Lu Wusi. In the 'Great Wilderness West Classic': the void of Kunlun in the sea, in the northwest, the capital under the emperor. The void of Kunlun is eight hundred and ten thousand high. In the 'Inner West Longitude': the south of the West Sea, the shore of quicksand, after the red water, before the black water, there is a big mountain, called the hill of Kunlun...... This mountain has everything.

Judging from the description of the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", Kunlun Mountain is not only the abode of the gods, but also its bigness, its height, its majesty, and its abundance of things, which can be seen.

Liu An, the brother of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty, the king of Huainan, also recorded in his Taoist classic "Huainanzi": "There is a big rice on Kunlun, about four or five zhang thick. Ye Tian felt that this sentence was a bit empty, and when Liu An wrote this sentence, he definitely swallowed too much 'Wushi San'.

However, there is a sentence that describes the majesty of Kunlun Mountain, and Ye Tian still likes it very much: "Kunlun is 11,114 steps and 2 feet 6 inches, and the mountain is stacked with nine layers. ”

However, whether it is the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", "Huainanzi" or other ancient books, or the secluded beauty of Kunlun Mountain described in mythological stories, it is still missing.

And the feeling that today's Kunlun Mountain gives Ye Tian is just like the description in the seven-character poem "Kunlun Xing" by Lu You in the Southern Song Dynasty:

"I ignored the Sun and Moon Palace, and looked down at the accumulated qi and green clouds. The cold and heat are the same day and night, and the nine passes of Saga's are often gale wind. ”
