Chapter 33: Change in the Kingdom of God
To travel from the Land of Meditation to the Kingdom of the Gods, one has to pass through the entire barren grassland, and the barrier between the two worlds is located on an abrupt stone mountain. Standing on the edge of the barren grassland, you can see a dark stone mountain on the skyline in the distance, like a dark jungle that has lasted forever. Stone Mountain was named Tianshen Mountain because it led to the kingdom of God, replacing the original name Yunmeng Mountain, although Tianshen Mountain is very famous, but because it is the junction of two worlds, there are almost no people in the surrounding area. The space here is very unstable, there are often inexplicable time and space cracks, and there are very few people who go to the area around Tianshen Mountain to cultivate and hunt. Especially in recent times, the mountains have often made loud rumbling noises, which made several nomadic small tribes on the barren grassland cautious, and no matter how fertile the water and grass were at the foot of the Tianshen Mountain, they did not dare to go there to hunt and graze.
A large river flows slowly from the Tenjin Mountain, winds its way through the entire barren grassland, and flows into all corners of this world. This is the source of the Yunmeng River, one of the three major water systems in the whole world, why this river is called Yunmeng River, some people say that it is because the legend of the river god of this river is called Yunmeng Fairy, so the river is named Yunmeng River, and some people say that this river is named Yunmeng River because it originated from Yunmengze in the Tianshen Mountain. If Akasu had stopped here, he would have sent down the river, which was similar to the water he had been on when he heard the woman in white singing in Longtan. This long river may be created by the god of time, Zeus, according to the river Daze in memory, but it is a pity that no matter how similar the river is, people don't know where to find it, just like the song sings, "Who is on the riverside? What year is Jiang Yue? Life has been endless from generation to generation, and Jiang Yue is only similar every year. I don't know who Jiang Yue will treat? But when I see the Yangtze River, I send flowing water. ”
In a river bend far away from the Tenjin Mountain, several people sit on the ground and are barbecuing a yellow sheep, the autumn yellow mutton is fat, the grease squeaks under the flame, and a smell mixed with the aroma of wood and meat permeates the fire. Seeing that the yellow sheep was almost roasted, a middle-aged man took out a close-fitting dagger from his arms, unloaded the calf of the yellow sheep, sprinkled it with salt, and respectfully sent it to a white-haired man. said: "Patriarch, please taste this freshly roasted yellow mutton"
The white-haired man took the leg of mutton, put it to his mouth and bit it gently, the fat came out of his mouth, and he chewed it carefully. The white-haired man said, "Kuimu, you don't have to take care of me, let's eat it quickly with my brothers, and after eating, we will rest quickly, and we will continue to look for Seke tomorrow."
"Nuo" The middle-aged man saluted the white-haired man, turned around with a smile and said: "Brothers, the patriarch said that we will rest here today, sleep well after eating the yellow sheep, and set off again tomorrow, we will never go back if we don't find our good brother Seke" "The wind god is going, the long sword is fearless" Several tired men around him were all energetic and energetic at this time, and shouted in unison.
A few men will divide a huge yellow sheep in a moment of time, laughter, fighting, meat, wine, are all good medicine to dispel fatigue. After eating the yellow sheep, Kuimu found a slightly higher hillside to sit down, and today he was in charge of the guard in the first half of the night. He took out a bone from his arms, looked at the Tianshen Mountain in the distance and the slowly setting sunset, and whimpered. The sound was low and desolate, and the faint sound spread like water, and the men who were still playing and laughing just now were also quiet at this time, some of them closed their eyes and rested by their wind wolves, and some of them lay on the grass and looked at the gradually brightening stars and thought about their own thoughts.
Kuimu quietly blew his bones, and at some point the patriarch was already standing beside him. Kuimu saw that the patriarch was about to get up and salute, and the patriarch Tengger raised his hand to signal that he didn't have to salute. Tengger also sat down against Kuimu, looked at the dark Tianshen Mountain and said, "Do you want to Seke? Don't worry, I asked the Great Heavenly Master to divinate before leaving, this time Seke is in danger, don't worry too much." You brothers also have to take care of your body, the old brothers who fought together back then are the only ones left," he patted Kuimu on the shoulder, took out a wine bag from his arms and handed it to Kuimu.
Kui Mu took the wine bag and took a big sip, and the crisp spirit monkey wine slid down his throat and into his stomach, a trace of cold and a trace of heat. Kuimu was a little excited, tears came out of his eyes, and he choked up and said, "Patriarch, it's all my fault." If I hadn't gathered Seck to go with me to explore the altar of the Divine Ape Department on Mt. Tenjin and see what they were doing, nothing would have happened. In order to cover my escape, Seck will not be separated from me by resisting the strange armor warriors who emerge from the Celestial God Mountain alone. ”
"I can't blame you entirely, those armorers are a kind of dead things, called undead armorers, which are unique spells to the archmage of the Divine Ape Department, and if you want to set up an altar on Tianshen Mountain, I am afraid that he also wants to summon the undead on Tianshen Mountain to cultivate secret methods. If you really want to find someone to be responsible, it should be someone from the Divine Ape Department who is responsible. Tengger said comforting Kuimu. "We've been searching for ten days, and if we still can't find Seck, I'll try to break into the altar of the Ape Department and see if there's any clue," Tengger continued
"No, the patriarch must not be alone. Those armorers are different from the summoning undead armorers of the Divine Ape Archmage that we have seen before, this time the armor warriors don't seem to be completely dead things, just like the living warriors, they have spells and secret arts, but they don't know the fear of death, no matter how many injuries they have, they can continue to fight as if they were fine, it is very difficult" Kuimu recalled the battle situation he saw at that time and said slowly, even if he recounted the battle at that time, he could see the danger of the day and the fear in his heart from Kuimu's eyes.
Tengger didn't say anything more, looking at the Tianshen Mountain in the vast night, there was a glimmer of light in his eyes, and no one knew what he was thinking at the moment. He patted Kuimu on the shoulder, told him to remember to use a felt blanket to keep out the moisture at night, and not to fall asleep against the wind wolf like he had done two days ago, and turned around and walked down the hill by himself. Kuimu looked at Tengger's back as he left, his eyes moistening again.
