Chapter 149: Goddess Yaoji
At night, I took advantage of the snow ape to fall asleep, took out Chen Shisan's notes and flipped through them, I walked outside the cave and saw the world of Changbai Mountain. The moon is as bright as day.
On April 13th, I dragged my tired body back and placed my blood-stained plum spear at the door of the stone room, mourning in my heart.
This time, I killed the Ice Spirit Corpse King in the front hall of the main tomb, and I found that the qi in my body was so strong that the Corpse King retreated, and my plum blossom gun became more and more proficient, and the Corpse King didn't even have a chance to get close to me, and was all killed by me in the front hall of the tomb. When my plum spear pierced their heads, a puff of white smoke rose from their bodies, and they immediately stood still.
I remember my companion Sang Ke'er told me that ordinary people can only kill corpses, and the corpses that have just been transformed are the most fragile, not much stronger than ordinary people, and they can be killed easily, but corpses can live for a hundred years, and the physical body can be trained to be invulnerable, and those who have trained it by force cannot get rid of it.
And the corpse king is a corpse who has been cultivating for a hundred years. With a trace of consciousness and wisdom of his own, if he is a corpse king who has entered the soul, it is even more powerful.
These days, I have become more and more anxious, because most of my hair has fallen out, I feel that my body is not as good as day by day, and I vomited blood a few mornings ago, I originally thought that practicing with Brother Ape could get rid of the curse, or at least extend my life, but now it seems that it is impossible, I still have less than a month to live.
I played chess with Brother Ape every day, and during the day we walked like flying between the mountains and snowy peaks, and when I was very young, I heard the storyteller in the teahouse tell the story of those swordsmen, who were dressed in white, and walked the world with swords, and the road was uneven. Comes.
I used to dream of one day being able to walk like the people in the story, stepping on the snow without a trace.
How I like this kind of life, I can run on the snow of Changbai Mountain every day, watch the snow migratory birds fly freely in the sky, and watch myself be like Brother Ape, controlling the flying snow around me.
And whenever I miss my family and my companions, I will dance my plum blossom gun in front of Ah Fei's snow mound.
Sometimes I would go down the hill and buy some soju, but at first I didn't drink it, but when he saw that I was drinking alone, he tried to take a sip and choked and coughed.
When I saw that Brother Ape could stop the flying snow suddenly at a thought, my heart was really shocked, and I began to practice qi and guns day and night, I wanted to break the many corpse kings in the tomb hall. I don't want my life to end here.
Therefore, when I stand in the front hall of the tomb today, my heart is sad, and I cannot wait any longer.
Like a challenger, I carried a spear on my back, standing in the middle of the tomb hall, waiting for the Ice Spirit Corpse King to break through the ice from the murals of the snow demon one by one, and kill them one by one, I almost tirelessly killed one corpse king after another, when my spear pierced their throats, I saw them wake up from their ignorance, their eyes regained a trace of clarity, they seemed to remember something, there was unwillingness, or relief, or regret in their eyes.
I saw in their eyes the variety of life and the impermanence of the world. When the last powerful corpse king was slain by me, he couldn't help but praise me as he watched my spear dancing like a dragon, beautiful.
I burned them all to ashes, recited the mantra for them, and then I looked at the mechanism in the front hall of the tomb, and looked at the dense arrow holes above the front hall, and I activated the mechanism of the front hall. Hold the blood in your mouth.
When the dense crossbow arrows shot at me from all directions in the front hall of the tomb, I closed my eyes, and I remembered that when I was very young, I was lying outside the crowd in the pear garden and watched the martial artists on the stage sing the tune of Lin Chong's night run sonorously and subduedly, and played the plum blossom gun impenetrable.
At that time, a master in the pear orchard saw that I was in tears and asked me what my name was.
I said, my name is Chen Shisan.
The old master nodded and said, look at your good looks and good figure, go back and tell your father, if you want to learn drama, I will accept you as an apprentice, and in the future, you will enter the pear orchard, and you can afford to work hard and practice your kung fu solidly, and you can eat well.
I nodded excitedly and ran home to find my father, who was out of the stall to tell fortunes, and I couldn't wait to use the bamboo pole at home, tied with the wheat ears on the yellow coat, to make a red tassel gun, thinking about the movements of Wusheng on the stage of the Liyuan stage, dancing with fascination.
Then, my father, who came from outside the door, gave me a slap in the face, knowing that I liked to listen to opera, and he had never allowed me to learn. Father said, bitches are ruthless, drama is unrighteous, big men have to do big men's things, what is the matter of learning a mother-in-law that is not uncommon?
But today, when I faced the thousands of arrows and crossbows in the front hall of the tomb, I suddenly remembered what the old master told me, he said that he handed over several corners on the pear garden, and those children were also the people on the stage back then, or as strong as a bully, or as soft as Jiao'e, and they were so excited that they burst into tears. And in your eyes, there is a kind of attachment to life, and in the future, you will become a master among martial arts.
In my mind, I kept thinking about his words, in the future, I will become a master among martial arts.
I carried a spear and flew all the crossbow arrows whistling in the temple in front of the tomb, and I was like a white ape gliding freely in the mountain stream, like a flying bird, and let the crossbow arrows come in.
Those crossbow arrows were all shot into the ice of the snow demon mural, killing all the corpses who had not yet cultivated into the Ice Spirit Corpse King, and the four walls of the tomb hall collapsed, I was looking for the corpses of Zhejiang Sanye and Sang Ke'er in those corpses, but I didn't see them for a long time.
Did they escape?
With great doubts in my heart, I entered a hole covered with gold through the passage of the tomb hall, and a layer of gold rust had grown on the gold, and several of the bones in the hole were rotten, and I stirred up a skeleton with my spear, and the skeleton was like a piece of paper, and it broke when I picked it, and a joint fell to the ground, and then the whole skeleton was scattered on the ground and turned to ashes.
I don't know how long this Snow Demon Ice Palace has been built, and even the bones can be weathered.
We found the Snow Demon Ice Palace according to the treasure map in the tomb of King Chu Xiang, and the famous deeds of King Chu Xiang during his lifetime are the love story with the goddess of Wushan, is the owner of this Snow Demon Ice Palace the goddess of Wushan?
According to myths and legends, the goddess of Wushan was the twenty-third daughter of the Queen Mother, named Yao Ji. Yao Ji is pure in heart and beautiful in appearance. The Queen Mother loved her and treated her as a pearl in her palm.
Yao Ji is carefree in the sky all day long, she has seen the heavenly palace, she feels that she has no pursuit, so she thinks that one day she can go to the lower realm, she heard the old heavenly official say that once the gods are in the lower realm, they don't want to come back, Yao Ji didn't believe it, and her heart was even more curious.
Yao Ji secretly pushed aside the clouds and looked at the world, saw the white cranes flying in the sky, saw the carp swimming in the water, saw the wind blowing through the maple forest, saw the sun rise and the moon set, and people's day and night.
She also saw that most of the people lived in thatched huts, ate chaff, wore tattered clothes, and were always worried about their own death.
After Yao Ji peeked at the world and was known by the queen mother, the queen mother was furious, so she promised him to a beautiful young man in the heavenly palace, Yao Ji was unwilling, fled to the world, came to the foot of Wushan, she saw many refugees who fled in the years of war, all the way to lament, the heart was sad.
But at this time, an evil dragon came out of the deep pool of Wushan, biting and biting many people, Yao Ji was furious and fought with the evil dragon, and then the evil dragon was killed by Yao Ji, Yao Ji saw that the people at the foot of Wu Mountain were not living, there was no harvest, and the people were not clothed, so she stayed in Wushan to help the people tide over the difficulties.
Later, people renamed the Wangxia Peak of Wushan as the Goddess Peak to commemorate Yaoji.
As for the story of the goddess of Wushan and the king of Chuxiang, it is said that the goddess of Wushan secretly admired the king of Chuxiang and met him in a dream in private, and the king of Chuxiang woke up and remembered the woman he saw in the dream, and he remembered that the woman said that she was the goddess of Wushan, so he went to Wushan in love to find the whereabouts of the goddess of Wushan.
There are many later versions of the legend, but in the historical materials about the construction of the royal tomb of King Chu Xiang, a woman named Yaoji is indeed mentioned.
These myths and legends such as the Heavenly Palace and the Queen Mother cannot be believed, and the goddess of Wushan must also be human, but the age is too old and covered with a layer of myths and legends.
I walked through the golden passage, broke a few mechanisms and came to the door of an ice palace, the temperature inside the ice palace was extremely cold, I had the qi trick taught to me by my ape brother, although I was thinly dressed, I could still bear it.
When I opened the ice palace, I saw a scene that made me creep, a woman leaning against the wall, looking at me in amazement, the woman I had seen, the same beautiful woman I had seen on the mural in the front hall.
I saw her sitting on the jade chair in the ice palace in a thin red dress, her eyes glazed, and I realized that she had a hosta stuck in her neck, which seemed to be dead.
I walked up to the platform of the Ice Palace, looked at this beautiful woman, and remembered the poem "Dan is the morning clouds, and the twilight is the rain", is the person in front of me really Yao Ji more than 2,000 years ago?
I don't believe it, even if the temperature in this ice palace is extremely low and the air is frozen in the air, it is impossible to preserve the body of a dead man so intact and lifelike.
I don't know much about the business of touching mountains and fighting upside down, and I have only learned the surface of what I have been with the team for a year, I don't know if this is the main burial chamber, but I can be sure that this dry corpse that has been dead for I don't know how many years must be the rumored Yao Ji.
I looked at this huge palace, thinking that Wang Tong had taught me the secret of touching gold and finding a coffin, my time was running out, and I had to find the secret of immortality.
But before I could look around, I suddenly found something in horror, and that was the hosta stuck in Yaoji's neck.
That hosta belongs to Sang Keer.
