Chapter 14: A Ray of Heaven and the Road of Bones

The carriage went all the way south, and when it reached Longcheng ten miles away, Nangong kept paying attention to Longcheng behind him, and after confirming that no one was tracking, he asked Lao Zhang, who was driving the car, to turn the carriage to the east, bypass Longcheng, and then go all the way north.

The two of them did not stop, eating and drinking all in the car, and stopped every six hours to rest for two hours, for the horses to rest, day and night.

There were countless beautiful scenery along the way, but Nangong and the others had no intention of appreciating it, and one day later, they had reached three hundred miles north of Dragon City.

An ancient mountain, stuck in the way.

This is the destination of Nangong's trip, North Zhou Mountain!

Standing at the foot of the Northern Zhou Mountain and looking up, Nangong understood what Liang Siqin said, "As soon as you see that mountain, you will know that it is the Northern Zhou Mountain", what this sentence meant.

Along the way, a horse and a flat river, only a big mountain suddenly appeared in front of them, with a cliff all over, like a huge stubborn stone, standing on the ground, blocking the way of the two.

According to the record of "Mainland Mountains and Rivers", the Northern Zhou Mountain, also known as Tianzhu Mountain, is located in the northwest of the mainland, the mountain is high and ten thousand, the birds are weak, the strange rocks are craggy, the apes are difficult to climb, it is said that it is the pillar of optimus, the abode of the gods, and then it was destroyed in the war of the gods, nine out of ten, leaving only one percent left in the world.

Legends or something, there is no way to be exquisite, and the mountain is a bit exaggerated, but it is more than ten miles high! Nangong looked at the desperate cliff on the mountain wall, and after just one glance, he affirmed that this was the Northern Zhou Mountain they were looking for.

Liang Zi asked, "Is this the Northern Zhou Mountain?"

Nangong nodded, and then took out a book from the bracelet, which was a copy of "Mainland Mountains and Rivers". This was specially brought by him before he went out, and there was a map of the vicinity of Beizhou Mountain.

He can't cultivate, but he is extremely proficient in strange books and miscellaneous studies, and of course such things as Suoji according to the map can't be difficult for him.

Flipping through the book, finding the relevant records of the Northern Zhou Mountain, and then thinking of what Liang Siqin said before going out, Nangong pointed to a certain place at the foot of the mountain and said: "Look at that! There is a cave there, your mother said, enter that cave, you will see the way up the mountain!"

"Then what are you waiting for, let's go!"

Liang Zi greeted and took the lead in front.

When he went to the bottom of the cliff, Nangong found that the cave was more than ten zhang high from the ground, and the mountain wall was steep, almost perpendicular to the ground, and he couldn't climb up at all.

Liang Zi smiled: "Look at me!"

As he spoke, he ran a few steps, jumped hard, and climbed a protruding rock, and the whole person was firmly attached to the cliff like a gecko.

Agile, she climbed up to the mouth of the cave in a few moments, then found some vines that clinged to the mountain wall, twisted them into ropes and threw them down. Nangong stretched out his hand and pulled it a few times, but it was quite strong, so he climbed up with the rope.

One climbed, the other pulled, and soon went up.

Looking at the pitch-black cave that looked like a monster's giant mouth, not knowing what danger was waiting for them in the cave, Liang Zi hesitated and glanced at Nangong.

Nangong smiled slightly, took out the long sword from the bracelet, pressed the button of the hilt, and a ready-made torch appeared. He held a sword in one hand and Liang Zi in the other, and walked into the cave.

The entrance to the cave is wide, but it gets narrower and narrower, and at the end, it becomes more like a gap in the belly of a mountain, and only one person can go sideways. The two of them groped their way forward in the cave for an unknown amount of time, only to feel that they were going higher and higher, closer to the inside of the mountain, and the two turned a corner, and suddenly saw a bright light ahead.

Nangong sped up two steps, and when he encountered a mountain rock that stood out from the road, he directly swung his sword and cut it, and after walking less than ten zhang, the front suddenly opened up.

"A glimmer of heaven!" Nangong exclaimed.

What appeared in front of the two of them was a passage as wide as three zhang, from west to east, sandwiched in the belly of the mountain, as if a god was holding a sword and slashing down from above, and a sword split the Northern Zhou Mountain in half!

On the passage less than a mile in front of them, between the two mountain walls, many huge rocks were suspended in the air, undulating and undulating, forming a natural staircase leading to the top of the mountain.

Nangong was overjoyed, and smiled at Liang Zi: "Let's go!"

didn't go far, Liang Zi suddenly stepped on something, and after a "huh", he exclaimed: "Nangong, look!"

Nangong looked back and saw that there was a skull half-buried under Liang Zi's feet, white bones, weathered to the point of decay, I don't know how long he had been dead. was kicked by Liang Zi, half of his head was kicked into powder, and the other half rolled out with a grunt.

Nangong's face changed, looking at the half of the skull, he suddenly felt that the road under their feet seemed to be buried something.

In order to verify the idea in his heart, Nangong drew his short sword and dug it in the ground.

After a while, Liang Zi let out an "ah" and exclaimed! Nangong's face sank like water, and he changed places to continue digging, but the result was still the same.

Bones!

It's all dense white bones!

In the belly of the mountain, in the soil under the sky, all the bones are buried! Occasionally, there will be rusty weapons that almost blend with the soil, and its age is not known how long ago.

This road is actually a road paved with white bones! The Northern Zhou Mountains are dozens of miles in circumference, and this road is dozens of miles long, and I don't know how many corpses have been laid!

A breeze blew from the mountain stream, and although the sun was in the middle of the day, the two of them couldn't help but feel numb on their scalps, and they shivered, as if they were in a ghost domain.

"It seems that the legend is true!" Nangong said through gritted teeth.

"What legend?" Liang Zi asked, shrinking his neck.

"According to legend, in the ancient era of the gods, the Northern Zhou Mountain was originally the abode of the gods...... Nangong recalled the record in the book, and said: "Later, in the war of the gods, he was split in half by a sword. After that, the gods went to the fairy world, but left countless caves. After the gods left, the major races began to search for the caves left by the gods, and in order to compete for the treasures of the gods, they launched a great battle, and this Northern Zhou Mountain is one of the tens of thousands of battlefields. ”

"It was a dark and chaotic history, and the harm to the continent was not in the slightest under the war of the gods! Life is the cheapest thing, countless creatures are born in the flames of war every day, and more creatures die in the flames of war every day. This lasted for thousands of years, perhaps because the caves of the gods were excavated, or perhaps because they were all tired, and the war finally subsided and has been thriving to this day. I think the bones on this mountain road are left over from that era!"

Nangong sighed, thinking about the scene back then, shuddering.

Liang Zi asked, "But after such a long time, shouldn't all these white bones be weathered into ashes?"

Nangong shook his head and said, "I don't know, maybe it's because this is a relic of the gods, so there is something special." ”

"Let's go! It's always eerie and uncomfortable!"

Liang Zi felt as if a cold air was coming up from behind, and hurriedly said hello, and then ran out as if he was flying, jumping onto the ladder!
