Chapter 12: The Mountain Keepers
The sky was bright with moonlight, and a cold wind raged in the air, and a few dark clouds visible to the naked eye floated in front of the moonlight.
"Roar!"
The 100,000 mountains at night doomed it to be unpeaceful, sometimes fierce beasts raged, sometimes fierce birds chirped, and the cyan giant tiger the size of a small mountain walked and shook the ground. A snake as thick as a bucket wrapped around a tree that could only be circled by five grown men. Twisting his waist slightly, he heard a loud click, and the tree broke apart. The eagle with wings stretched out and dozens of meters in size surrounded the sky, covering the sky and the sun, its sharp claws flashed with silver light, turning its eyes and staring coldly at the ground, those black eyes looked extremely gloomy and terrifying under the illumination of the moonlight.
Bang, boom!
In the depths of the mountain, two fierce beasts as huge as a small mountain are fighting. On one side was a fierce tiger, with a mouth of fangs raised, completely exposed to the air, glowing with silver. His eyes were gloomy and terrifying, his eyes showed a fierce light, and he put on a fighting posture. On the other side, there is a one-horned antelope, with a rough breath from the tip of its nose and a long beard on its long chin, which has a bit of a fairy wind bone. On closer inspection, its lips were grinding slightly, and a green grass remained at the corner of its mouth. The corners of the antelope's mouth kept grinding, and it just squinted at the tiger opposite, without a panicked expression, but with a little contempt.
"Roar!"
The roar of the tiger shook the mountains and forests, and the sand flew away from the rocks. The weak animals on the ground are fleeing in all directions without looking back, and there are a few bold beasts that can still stop and watch, but they are also staying five miles away, and they don't dare to go too far ahead.
"Huh!"
When the unicorn heard the roar of the tiger, it did not look panicked at all, but treated it with a very gentle cry. As if to say, "Don't bother me, stay cool, I'm going to graze." ”
The unicorn antelope's lips twitched, and its teeth squeaked. Leisurely eating the grass in his mouth, he didn't want to take care of it at all.
If Ye Chen was here, he would definitely exclaim: "Damn, when will the antelope not be afraid of the tiger? And he doesn't take the tiger seriously at all! Can he not be so bullish?"
Completely rewrite the biological chain.
The antelope didn't want to deal with the tiger, and chewed the green grass in his mouth leisurely, looking like an old god was at ease, and it was completely none of his business. Antelopes don't care, but tigers don't. Revealing a murderous, greedy gaze, staring at the antelope in a daze, with a hazi flowing from the corner of his mouth, that is the look that can only be shown when looking at a prey. It took the antelope as its prey today.
A dark cloud drifted in the sky, temporarily obscuring the bright moonlight.
The giant cyan tiger on the ground let out a terrifying tiger roar, then got off the ground on all fours and flew towards the one-horned antelope. There was a strong wind around the body, and the trees that blew straight up shook and overwhelmed the mountains and seas. Layers of qi waves spread, making the beasts that stopped to watch five miles away almost unsteady.
Rumble!
The two beasts collided, and the sound of concussion swept through, causing the wild beasts that had stopped to watch in the distance tremble.
Rumble!
A hundred miles away, the same crashing sound sounded. Same scenario, except that this time it's two grizzly bears fighting for turf. The two bears were inseparable, the ground was trampled, the trees were broken, and a kilometer radius became a battlefield for them, which can be described as full of devastation.
And in these 100,000 mountains, this situation abounds, which is also its horror, ordinary people can't set foot at all, unless he himself is too long.
The mountains were shaking, but the stone village was extremely calm. But tonight, it is destined to be unpeaceful, and everyone's heart is full of ups and downs, especially Ye Chen. What he has heard and heard today has made him almost detached from his own worldview.
"Old man, what is Wu again? What's going on with Zhou Mountain?" Ye Chen was messy.
Although Ye Chen did read the rumors of Buzhou Mountain in the mythological stories, and even searched and read them carefully on the Internet, what he learned was only a little bit. Moreover, there are many ancient books, and many records are different, which leads to the fact that the answers obtained by later writers are not uniform, and the results of the investigation are also hasty. What Ye Chen saw was just some patchwork answers, which were not comprehensive at all.
It is no wonder that, after all, myths are always just myths, and in the 21st century, when science is developed, it is simply nonsense and unconvincing. Scientists have long since debunked the myth of ghosts and gods. There are no ghosts and gods in the world, and the so-called ghosts and gods are just a saying that people in ancient times could not explain many natural phenomena, so they created the theory of ghosts and gods, so that their hearts and minds can be comforted.
"Wu, from the mountains of Buzhou. It is a perfect combination of a strong physique and a strong bloodline. A body of blood is monstrous, and the hot blood can dye the starry sky red. The skin is hard, stronger than the dragon. The old man's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at Ye Chen as if he had entered infinite imagination.
"Grandpa, hearing you say this, Wu seems to be very powerful, so why have I never heard you talk about it before?" Xiao Man asked suspiciously.
The villagers are also staring at each other, you look at me, I look at you. They were asking if anyone else had heard of it, but they all shook their heads and signaled that no one had listened. In addition to the old man, even the elder Zhou Bo in the village shook his head gently.
Ye Chen opened his mouth, he wanted to say something, but the words came to his mouth and swallowed again. Because Xiaoman has already asked his doubts, although it is not comprehensive, but the meaning is still similar.
Ye Chen knew the legend of Buzhou Mountain, which was first obtained from the Classic of Mountains and Seas. Legend has it that Buzhou Mountain is a combination of all evil and calamities; there is also a legend that Buzhou Mountain is the junction point leading to the fairy world, and you can enter the legendary fairy world by climbing the top of Buzhou, and you will have immortality; it is also said that it is a pillar of heaven, rooted in the earth, holding the sky, so that the sky will not fall. Once the pillar of heaven collapses, destroying the earth, turning the galaxy upside down, and tilting the sky, all living beings will suffer a catastrophe and become a real hell on earth.
I have to say that in ancient China, the impact of Buzhou Mountain on human beings was extremely huge. It adds one mystery after another to it. But later, with the rapid development of the scientific era, people overturned these ideas one after another, and it turned out that there is no such thing as ghosts and gods in the world, it is just all the imagination of the ancients.
The old man said earlier that it was okay to not be in Zhoushan, Ye Chen had seen it in many mythological classics before. It's a myth, but I've heard it. And Wu, Ye Chen is unheard of. A complete blank slate. And until now, Ye Chen still doesn't understand why the old man said this?
"I didn't tell you before, it's because witches are too far away for you. The old man answered Xiaoman's question.
After speaking, the old man sighed softly, and a little melancholy appeared on his wrinkled face. It seems that I don't want to recall anything.
"Wu Zhiqiang has almost run through more than 900,000 years of history. Every 100,000 years, they come out of Buzhou Mountain, and they are extremely powerful, and one person can occupy almost the entire brilliance of heaven and earth. No one knew their cultivation techniques, no one knew how they cultivated, but they seemed to be born with invincible qualifications. In the same rank, even the young emperor has to avoid the edge for the time being, and the Wu of Dacheng can even compete with the emperor. is obviously just a latecomer, but the older generation of people who are directly pressed are breathless. The old man's words were very short, just a general one, but they felt very eye-catching. But there seems to be something hidden, and the old man is deliberately hiding something.
"Shhh
After listening to what the old man said, everyone in the village gasped directly. All of them were full of different colors, and they looked incredible. Looking at Ye Chen's eyes, he suddenly became different, surprised and strange, as if he had seen the most incredible thing.
Well, Ye Chen doesn't know how many times he has experienced this kind of look today. The villagers looked at him unusually unusually, as if he was an animal in a zoo, pointing at him from time to time, obviously he hadn't done anything.
Besides, Ye Chen didn't understand much. But after looking at the performance of the villagers, I only know that it seems to be very powerful, but it doesn't seem to have anything to do with me. What is not Zhoushan, although I have heard of it but I have never seen it, is it okay? What witch is there? I don't know it myself!
The amount of information is too much, and it is still unacceptable to Ye Chen, the earth from the 21st century. Whether it is Ye Chen, even if it is changed to any earthling, it is unacceptable.
"Old man, though it's a bit disrespectful for me to say that. But I still have to say that I didn't understand much about what you just said, but it doesn't seem to be relevant to me. I don't care about what is wrong now, I just want to know if I can go home?"
When Ye Chen said this, his expression became a little excited. That's right, now Ye Chen's concern is only whether he can go home, but Zhou Shan is mysterious, but he has never seen it. Wu is powerful, but what does that have to do with himself? All he cares about is whether he can go home. Nothing else matters.
"Little friend, do you remember the mountain you stayed on at the beginning?" The old man did not answer Ye Chen's question, nor did he blame Ye Chen for his disrespect. He just smiled kindly and asked softly, "It's the mountain you woke up to when you first woke up." ”
"Huh?"
Ye Chen was stunned for a moment. I don't know why the old man said this. Still, he nodded slightly.
For that mountain leaf dust, it can be said that the memory is still fresh. Even he could never forget it for the rest of his life, the white giant bird that covered the sky, the thick heavenly might, and the shadow of the heavenly thunder still lingered in his mind. On the one hand, it exudes a sense of calm and peace. On the one hand, it is full of endless hell, which can be said to coexist with hell and heaven.
"Really?"
Ye Chen was surprised, thinking of this, Ye Chen seemed to understand something. His eyes widened and he looked at the old man in surprise.
The old man also seemed to see through what Ye Chen was thinking, and nodded lightly at the moment when Ye Chen looked at him.
"Old man, is that mountain the legendary Buzhou Mountain?" Ye Chen didn't believe it, and continued to ask, wanting to get confirmed information.
"That's right, that's the mountain of Buzhou. The old man said.
"Wait. That old man, according to what you said, I am the witch in your mouth?" Ye Chen said in surprise.
This sentence was completely shouted, and even the surrounding villagers were almost startled.
In a place a little farther away from the villagers, Xiao Yue'er was carrying a piece of 100 catties of huge meat and was eating hard. The small mouth bar was quite satisfied, and next to her, Shi San was crying and mourning, and was putting the fresh meat on the barbecue grill one by one, all of which were 100 catties. But even if he is like this, he can't compare to Xiao Yue'er's eating speed. Who did he provoke whom? Why did he suffer from this inhuman torture? He was just listening to Ye Chen's story just now, but before the story was finished, he was dragged by this little guy to give her a barbecue, and he had already eaten almost a thousand catties, and he still had to eat it. I really don't know what she became. And after eating so much, I haven't grown any more.
Of course, he didn't dare to say this, otherwise he would be the next little man. Thinking about Xiaoman's appearance of being beaten by Xiao Yue'er, Shi San shuddered.
"I'd better barbecue obediently, but I don't dare to mess with this little aunt. ”
And at this moment, Ye Chen's shout suddenly came, and Xiao Yue'er's delicate little ears moved. With a slight anger on his face, he raised the hundred-pound giant meat in his hand and ran towards the crowd. She also thought that her Ye Chen brother was being bullied, so she ran over angrily. Completely ignoring the image of a lady, lifting the piece of meat is eating.
"That's right, you're a witch. At this time, the old man's expression was extremely serious, very serious, and he was not joking.
"I'll be that powerful witch, but I don't have any special feelings?" Ye Chen felt himself and said slowly: "Old man, are you mistaken? How can a person like me be the powerful witch in your mouth?"
Ye Chen still didn't believe it. He couldn't believe it. Even he had begun to have a panicked look in his heart, if he was really a witch in the old man's mouth, then all this would not be a coincidence. It will not be a coincidence that he came here, the old man just said that Wu only appears once every 100,000 years, this is like a reincarnation, this time it is his turn. It will even be deliberately arranged. It's just not known who arranged it all. If it is really arranged, then if you want to go back, it will become even more difficult.
Ye Chen's mood now became very worried.
The old man shook his head and said, "You can't be wrong, you are a witch." ”
The old man seemed very sure of this.
"Since that incident happened 900,000 years ago, Buzhou Mountain has not allowed any living beings to enter, except for witches. If other creatures break in, they will be expelled or even exterminated by Buzhou Mountain. The old man was melancholy, evoking endless thoughts. Suddenly calmed down, looked directly at Ye Chen and said, "So, you are a witch." Otherwise, you won't be able to survive in the mountains. ”
Ye Chen's heart sank. Expulsion and extermination? Ye Chen thought of the two white giant birds, and began to believe what the old man said.
"Then old man, why can only witches enter Buzhou Mountain, and what happened 900,000 years ago?" Ye Chen asked.
Ye Chen's questions came one after another, he didn't understand too much about this world. Now even the Buzhou Mountain in the mythical story has appeared, and I don't know what else awaits him behind. So now he must accept new knowledge to expand his mind so that he can cope with what follows.
"Why? Maybe they're the mountain guards!"
"Mountain guard?" Ye Chen said in surprise.
"That's right, Wu has another name, and he doesn't ———— the mountain guard. The old man said slowly.
