Chapter 439: Entering the Sacred Mountain

Agus knew that he was recognized by Wu Luo, he didn't care, he just glanced at Wu Luo with his eyes.

Gu Yunzhe bid farewell to the people of Wuluo, and the demon king Agus, and flew quickly towards the Olympus Sacred Mountain.

In the fog not far from Wu Luo and the others, at the foot of a mountain peak, a gaze followed Gu Yunzhe's back, and only then gradually retracted it until it was out of sight. The owner of the gaze is the prince of Shaohao, he has already come here, but at that time, Gu Yunzhe happened to appear next to everyone and was healing Wu Luo's injuries. For some reason, he stopped and didn't step forward.

Under the leadership of the Demon King, Gu Yunzhe only took one day to see the appearance of the Olympus Sacred Mountain.

Mount Olympus is very tall, surrounded by a ring of dazzling golden light, and looks majestic against the background of the surrounding majestic mountains. It is surrounded by many angels with white wings on their backs, holding steel forks and bows and arrows, wandering and circling, seemingly patrolling.

Gu Yunzhe looked at these angels, and suddenly remembered those people in the demon clan, and there were many people who had wings on their backs, but they were black. He opened his mouth and asked the Demon King, "Brother Argus, is there any difference between those winged people of your demon clan and these white angels on Mount Olympus?" ”

The Demon King looked at those angels, smiled slightly, and told Gu Yunzhe, "It's completely different. Those who have wings on their backs of the demon race, they are because of the fusion of feathered demonic beasts, so that while retaining the human body, the back has wings with magical power. If you look closely, our wings are divided into two types, one is thin wing wings and the other is feathered wings. And they," he said, pointing with his hand to the angels in front of him, "they are not real bodies, but were created by the Heavenly Priests, using formations and meditation to condense the power of heaven and earth. To put it simply, they can be counted as doppelgangers with autonomous consciousness. The reason why the image of wings is used is because these wings are also their weapons and source of power, and they are also the means used by the celestial priests to control them. ”

At this moment, Gu Yunzhe saw those angels, no longer wandering and circling, but greeted the two of them and flew over. Not far in front of them, the angels immediately stopped, and their wings turned into white boulders, connecting with each other and forming the shape of a ladder. And these angels, dressed as blonde girls in white robes, stood on both sides with their hands down.

"It seems that this sacred mountain of Olympus attaches great importance to your arrival. He actually used the highest etiquette of this sacred mountain, the ladder of heaven. This is much more grand than the one I had back then, there are 900 steps. The Demon King looked at the ladder leading directly to the Divine Mountain, and teased, with a hint of jealousy in his words.

Although Gu Yunzhe didn't know what kind of etiquette this ladder was leading, but when he heard the words of the demon king Agus, he could feel that Shenshan attached great importance to his coming this time, "Is there anything to say about this ladder connection?" ”

The Demon King nodded, "The person who can enjoy this kind of etiquette can only be a strong person, and there are differences between these strong people." For this reason, the ladder is divided into three levels: the nine-character ladder, the six-character ladder, and the three-character ladder. The nine-character ladder is the highest, with 999 steps, and I haven't heard of it until now, but now I see it. Speaking of this, he smiled at Gu Yunzhe.

Then he continued, "The six-character ladder is the six hundred and sixty-six steps, and I stepped on this ladder to enter back then. And the three-character ladder is the three hundred and thirty-three steps. However, even this three-character ladder rarely appears, after all, there are very few people who can enjoy the etiquette of this ladder. Generally, it's just a greeting from heaven. ”

After listening to his introduction, Gu Yunzhe nodded, "It's so complicated." I didn't expect that there would be so many rules needed to usher in the send-off. ”

The Demon King smiled, "This is a must-have. These rules are not only a symbol of the country's inheritance strength, but also related to the degree of intimacy between the two races. After all, the higher the specification, the more attention is paid to the description, and the more intimate the subsequent interactions will be. ”

"Is there such a cumbersome procedure in the Demon Kingdom?" Gu Yunzhe asked with some curiosity.

Demon King Agus nodded proudly, "That's nature, after all, we are also a strong clan that has been inherited for many years. ”

"If you are dissatisfied with the rules of your reception, will there be disputes or even wars?" Gu Yunzhe continued to ask.

The Demon King glanced down at him and smiled, "Yes, but very little." After all, this kind of etiquette comes from the side of the strong, and the tribes who come to worship do not dare to touch the anger of the strong at will, even if they are dissatisfied. He can only direct his anger to the tribe that he considers to be equal to his strength and a threat to him. ”

Gu Yunzhe looked at the ladder in front of him and said faintly: "What a strategy to kill two soldiers with one peach." With that, he turned to the side, bypassed the ladder on the side, and flew towards the sacred mountain of Olympus.

The demon king on the side didn't expect that Gu Yunzhe would ignore the ladder and take a detour. He moved in his heart, took a deep look at the ladder in front of him, and instantly comprehended Gu Yunzhe's thoughts, and couldn't help but express admiration for him in his heart.

Then he looked at Gu Yunzhe's back, sighed twice, smiled and nodded, and chased after Gu Yunzhe.

And the angels on the side didn't know Gu Yunzhe's thoughts, they stood with their hands down, but found that the person they wanted to greet ignored this ladder and walked around. They didn't dare to take back the ladder rashly, and raised their heads one after another, only looking sideways.

The two of them were very fast, and in a moment they came outside the protective light curtain in front of the sacred mountain. The light curtain is very large, and the front of it looks like an ant. Above the light curtain, there is a huge arc doorway, and the ladder passes through this doorway and extends all the way to the palace on the top of Mount Kinabalu.

Gu Yunzhe stepped into the entrance cave first, and the Demon King followed closely and also walked in. When I entered it, I found that the area inside was as large as that of a bear city.

In the middle is the sacred Mount Olympus, which is lined with tall palaces. In front of each palace, there are rows of huge stone pillars, with vaults in the middle, which is where the gates are located. In the middle, there is a wide staircase path that leads from below to the palace at the top. The ladder on the side is also a platform that extends to the other end of the road.

At this moment, on both sides of the staircase road, there were neatly filled with soldiers with spears in their hands, and at the other end of the road, a group of people in gorgeous costumes were looking here. Seeing the figures of Gu Yunzhe and the Demon King appear, the eyes of those people immediately gathered. It's just that their faces are full of incomprehension.

Gu Yunzhe and the Demon King were on the side of the ladder and went straight to the palace group. And beneath their feet, there is a circle of calm waters. There are many islands of various sizes. You can see a lot of fish-like creatures on the island. There was also a faint singing voice, coming from below. The song was full of grief and lonely thoughts, like a beautiful young woman telling the bitterness in her heart.

The Demon King told Gu Yunzhe that the water below was called the "Sea of Love." "Those fish-like creatures on the island are actually mermaids, and they guard that water. Once someone attacks, they will be confused by their sound and dragged into the water. Corrupted and dissolved by the waters of love, it becomes part of the island in the water.

At the same time, the Demon King pointed to the light curtain behind him, which contained the "Ten Punishments" that protected the sacred mountain. Under the incursion of foreign enemies, they will strayed into it, and then in the land of ten punishments, they will endure extremely strong pain and die. If you can break through, you can't escape the devouring of the sea of love. Therefore, for thousands of years, no intruder has been able to set foot in the "land of heaven".

"It's paradise!" Gu Yunzhe was extremely shocked in his heart, looked at the palace full of mountains, and asked in surprise.

Demon King Argus nodded, "Exactly! It's called paradise. ”

Who is the one who is called God in the mortal world? Chi You? Gu Yunzhe felt like he was dreaming.

"Heavenly Priest. He is the man who is called God by the world. And Chi You is the God Emperor, but he does have another name, the god Zeus. It's just that that was a long time ago. The Demon King said faintly.

Gu Yunzhe regretted that he came in too much hurry and didn't do his homework in advance at all, but fortunately, the knowledge he once had in school was not lost. I quickly understood that in the mouth of the demon king, the reason why Chiyou was called the god Zeus was a long time ago. After all, the time when Zeus appeared was also thousands of years ago, and there was a fusion with the time when Chiyou appeared.

Only now did he feel that he had grasped a trace of context, but the information was still too little to help him completely sort it out. He decided to cure Chiyou as soon as possible, hoping to learn some about the past from his mouth. Just when Gu Yunzhe was thinking, he unconsciously came to the platform at the end of the ladder.

"Gu Sheng and His Majesty the Demon King are here, my sacred mountain is shining, and I am fortunate to have three lives." The celestial priest wore a red gold robe, but there was no helmet on his head, and his face was not covered with a mask, revealing a handsome countenance, and he spoke respectfully.

Gu Yunzhe was awakened by the words of the Heavenly Priest, looked up, and was stunned for a moment, he felt a kind of familiarity on the face of the Heavenly Priest. Fortunately, the demon king on the side noticed the abnormality and pushed him. Only then did he react, "Ah! Pander to! Hello! Hello, I'm also flattered. ”

The Heavenly Priest smiled slightly, "These are the gods of my Divine Mountain. The god of the sun, the god of thunder, the god of love......" he introduced the people beside him one by one.

Every time Gu Yunzhe heard someone's name, his face showed surprise, in the past, he could only read their stories in textbooks, but today he saw the real person, how not to be surprised.

After the introduction, the Heavenly Priest smiled slightly, flicked the sleeves of his robe, and turned sideways, "Please, come with me!" "There was no mention of why Gu Yunzhe and the Demon King didn't take the ladder at all, and directly led the two of them to the palace above.

Being in the midst of it, Gu Yunzhe felt the majestic momentum of the palaces on both sides. Each palace is dozens of zhang high, and its appearance is completely different from that of China, without too much decoration, however, there are countless murals carved on it. There are singing and dancing, hunting animals, battle scenes, etc., and there are several pictures depicting several balls and countless triangles, galloping in the stars.

The Heavenly Priest on the side also gave him a brief introduction, and along the way, Gu Yunzhe finally fully understood that the murals on each palace were actually some customs and traditions of their clan. There is also some of their historical record mixed in.

Soon, we came to the palace at the top, which was the most magnificent and the most quaint and mysterious. There is no pattern on it, except for a huge bull's head, which hangs in the middle of the palace gate. The bull's head was lifelike, as if it had just been cut off from its neck. Huge horns, raised high, black at the tips and shimmering in the surrounding light. The bull's eyes were half-open, and a wave of anger shot out of his eyes.

Coming to the gate of this main hall, the Heavenly Priest sent everyone away, leaving only Gu Yunzhe and the demon king Agus. Originally, the demon king was also asked to leave with the sun god, but the demon king politely refused. He was willing to stay outside the door and wait for Gu Yunzhe to come out.

The Heavenly Priest didn't say anything, but asked the soldiers on the side to bring a table to the Demon King, which was full of fresh fruit and wine. The demon king was not polite, sat directly on the ground, and enjoyed it slowly.

Gu Yunzhe, under the leadership of the Heavenly Priest, walked into the palace. The palace was very empty, and there was nothing but an octagonal platform in the center. And on that high platform, there was nothing. He swept around the palace without seeing Chiyou's figure, and then turned his gaze to the Heavenly Priest.

The Heavenly Priest walked forward unhurriedly, and then stood three feet away from the octagonal platform. Both hands pinched at the same time, silently recited the incantation in his mouth, and after a while, the index fingers of both hands stretched out, and the fingertips bloomed with a red basket and two rays of light, and then slowly moved forward.

As his finger moved forward, he touched something, and the light on his fingertips dissipated instantly, and immediately after, a wall of glittering crystals suddenly appeared. Those crystals were like thousands of stars, moving slowly in a certain direction.

Behind this wall of crystalline light, a vaguely tall figure appeared.
