Chapter 257: The Ancient Myth Arrives in Front

The stone mountain is majestic and majestic, but it is not crude, and it occupies most of the area in sight.

However, it is flat, and there is not even a trace of undulation in sight, which is not only the only undulation on the earth, but also the only mountain.

This mountain is not a dirt mountain, nor is it a low mountain, it is like a gray-white boulder, if you say how high, it is naturally far less than those plateau mountains and continuous overlapping mountains, but it rises from the ground, neither standing on the plateau nor standing on other mountains, it is clearly just an independent peak on the flat land, so it is considered very high, if it is a foggy day, the top of the mountain may be able to penetrate the clouds.

The mountain is not smooth, it is steep, and there is almost no vegetation on the top except for a few ancient pines rooted in the crevices of the rocks. On this vast plain, it is both abrupt and feels like the finishing touch, like the center of the world, giving people a strong visual shock.

Such a mountain would be amazed even if you see it elsewhere, let alone here.

What's more, it grew overnight.

“……”

Anyway, the swordsman's eyes were full of shock.

When the Taoist saw it, he couldn't help but be amazed.

The mountain god of Pingzhou is attentive.

"Let's take a look."

"Good!"

The group immediately got up, packed their bags, and walked towards the towering stone mountain in front of them.

Originally, I had walked a long way yesterday, but when I got up this morning, I saw that this mountain seemed to have arrived in front of me, occupying a large part of the sight, and there was a sense of oppression that was almost overwhelming.

Looking at it from afar, I feel that the momentum is incomparably majestic.

When I got closer, I realized that it was steep and difficult to climb.

Go around the mountain to know how vast the area is.

Such a mountain can really become a famous mountain in any place, but it was borrowed by a Taoist from the depths of hundreds of miles of mountains in Pingzhou to return to the county from Hezhou, where there are no mountains.

The swordsman was shocked, and so was the Taoist.

However, a farewell of thousands of miles must be said in the end, and at this time, the snow field is over, and it is time for them to separate.

"Shu Daxia."

Song You turned to the swordsman and said: "This is already the edge of Hezhou, you go to Gwangju and go south to turn back, Sanhua Niangniang and I want to continue to go north, so don't pass at the foot of this mountain." ”

"Good!"

The swordsman was also very simple, and hugged his fists: "I wish Mr. a smooth journey north!" ”

It's a good thing not to say goodbye here.

"I also wish that the search for relatives will go smoothly and find your own kendo as soon as possible, and Sanhua Niangniang and I will pay attention to your legend in the rivers and lakes." Song You said, "Thank you for sending me." ”

"I hope we will meet again."

"Shu is destined to meet again~"

This journey has traveled all over Hezhou, not to mention thousands of miles, whether it is the company and escort of the swordsman, or the guidance of the Taoist, it is not simple, all the way to subdue demons and eliminate demons, the experience is also unusual, but the two of them and Sanhua Niangniang did not say much thanks or twisted words, saluted each other, and said goodbye.

"Tosh!"

The swordsman turned on his horse and walked behind him.

There was only one man, one horse and one cat left on the side of the mountain, the horse seemed to have no emotion, bowed his head to graze, the cat looked at the departing man and a horse, and the Taoist withdrew his gaze and looked up at the mountain.

"Hoo ......"

I saw the Taoist blowing on the mountain.

"...... Uproar"

The gravel on the mountain rolled down, and the original protruding mountain stone became a stone monument, born in this mountain.

On the stele is a line of words:

In February of the sixth year of Mingde, Shu Yifan and the dark horse borrowed the demon from the mountain god of Pingzhou.

"Let's go."

The Taoist retracted his gaze and turned away from this place.

But as if they had expected it, the people of Angelica County once again mustered up the courage to walk into Heyuan, and the old merchants passed by again and saw the shock of this sudden but steep and majestic mountain. It seems to have been expected that in the next thousands of years, literati and artists will come here and write poems and articles after seeing this mountain.

It is as if I expected the incense here in the future.

It is a tradition in the world to worship the mountain as a god, not to mention such a unique sacred mountain.

And the Taoist has gone far.

The jujube red horse followed silently, and the three-flowered cat stopped in place, looked at the stele a few more times, and after recognizing the words, he turned around and trotted to catch up.

The group headed north.

……

The little official surnamed Jin has been waiting at the North City Gate for nearly two months.

For nearly two months, he often stood at the head of the city every day, day and night, and looked at the north for a long time.

After all, even if the terrain is flat, with the help of the height of the castle, you can't see the scene in the snowfield from a distance, but you can see the sky on that side.

The cold and crisp epidemic was not completely controlled until a few days ago, even if he had the courage to go to the city, he could not go out of the city at will, but a team of medicine gifts came from other places, and doctors, it is said that they came spontaneously after hearing about the deeds of Dr. Cai, they lived in the city, and sometimes went out of the city to go to various villages to see a doctor and give medicine. Some villages are not far from the snowfields, and they can hear about the movement of the snowfields.

In the first ten days, the wind was surging, and the light could occasionally be seen flickering at night, and there seemed to be thunder, but it was too far away to hear the thunder.

More than ten days later, I heard from the people who came back from the city to give medicine that the snow field melted when the ice and snow melted, and when the snow fell, the thunder often raged, which was very miraculous.

Hearing the news, even the nobles in the city couldn't help but go to this city wall, looking at the north, only thinking that there were gods in the lower realm, eliminating demons in the snow field.

The Han Shu people were deeply affected by it, and naturally hoped that this time they could completely exterminate the snow demons.

However, this has happened several times, and no one can be sure.

Until the first month passes, February comes.

The haze in the sky had clearly lifted, and the person who had gone to give the medicine had come back to say that the blizzard that had been lingering on the snowfield was also stopping, and even the snow was melting.

Later, Shu Daxia, who went to the snow field with his husband, arrived at the city and asked himself for some dry food, so he hurriedly rode away, not knowing where to go. It seems that since then, I have heard that the snowstorm has completely subsided, and the haze above has completely dissipated, and the snow is getting thinner and thinner day by day, and there is snow water flowing out of the snowfield.

All the officials and the people in the city were overjoyed.

The little official surnamed Jin was naturally also happy, but in the midst of the great joy, he was a little more shocked.

Late February.

The plague was removed, and the gates were opened again.

Although there were still few people in and out, those who survived the city also left their homes.

After all, there was a figure on the street.

People condoled with each other and talked with emotion, as if they had gone through a catastrophe together, and there was an inexplicable emotion.

Naturally, no one has forgotten the spiritual rain last winter, no one has forgotten the shrine god who supported the dream, and no one has forgotten the Taoist and monk who went into the sick relocation workshop to eliminate disasters and solve problems for the sick.

The most crowded place on that day was the temple in the city.

The most incense is not the gods and Buddhas in the main hall, but the small temple on the left side of the door that will be half a person high, and the mud square in front of the temple is placed one after another, full of grass incense, and the fireworks are like clouds.

However, it is also a coincidence that on the night of the opening of the city gate, the people of Hanshu County all had a dream at the same time, and the dream was still the shrine god who came to remind the people in the city to go out to bathe in the rain, but it was a kind old woman named Luo Yinghua, but her figure was taller than the last time she dreamed of it.

The shrine god informed them that on the first day of the first month of this year, an immortal stepped into the snow field, and with the assistance of Lei Gong, it took 7749 days to suppress the Heyuan Demon King, and the future Heyuan returned to peace.

When people woke up, they were naturally shocked again.

It was still early in the morning, and the city was boiling, and it was clear that there were not many people left, but the streets and alleys were full of mutual evidence and discussions.

Willing to believe, but also worried.

I wanted to investigate, but I didn't dare to go.

The same is true in the county government, there is a voice of discussion.

Some people say that they should send someone to take a look, some people want to wait a little longer, some people have full trust in the land wife, and some people are more cautious. I finally decided to send someone to see it, but over the years, the image of the Snow Demon King among the cold officials and people has been extremely terrifying, who dares to lead the team?

The little official surnamed Jin was originally just an insignificant official in the city, and his status was very low, because under the epidemic, a lot of officials in the city died, and his brother contracted the disease because he took the initiative to take over the sick relocation workshop, so he slowly had a place to speak in the county office, and when he heard the tangled hesitation of the nobles, he thought about it for a while, gritted his teeth, and took the initiative to stand up.

"My lord, my subordinates are willing to go!"

"Would you like to go?"

"Yes!"

"Good! That's great! Then you will lead people to go and come back from the investigation, and the official will remember you again! ”

"Thank you, sir!"

And the little officer agreed.

If there is someone who leads the team, who will he take to go and change to another official, it may be difficult, but he also feels that it is easy to find.

Although his brother has recovered, his health is not very good after recovery, and he has been recuperating at home, so it is inconvenient to go. However, there were other servants in the sick relocation workshop at the beginning, some of them were mildly ill, and they were controlled on the first day of the red eye, and now they have returned to their original duties, and these people all know what kind of people the gentleman and master are, and if you go and explain to them yourself, there will probably be someone who is willing to go with them.

As expected, just the next day, the little official took a few men and a donkey and left the city for the north.

Half a day, to the snowfield.

As rumored, the haze has long since disappeared over the snowfield, the blizzard has stopped, the snow has melted, and grass has grown, bathed in the sun, and suddenly like a dream.

Those temples are still standing, like a line, indicating that the demon king who was once imprisoned here was great.

Everyone looked at each other, and under the urging of the little officials, they dared to cross the temple and enter the snowfield.

It's business as usual, but it's terrifying.

The group walked all the way forward.

The snow and ice were gone, but melted back into water and filled the ravines and rivers on the roadside, and not only did the grass emerge from the soil, but some trees that seemed to have died sprouted. If it weren't for the fact that all the houses peeking out of the snow and ice were empty, there were often white bones, and there was no one on the road, it even made people think that this was not a snowfield, but just a very ordinary place to return to the county.

Until you go a little deeper......

Some of the huge carcasses of birds and beasts on the side of the road were already rotting, some were only white bones, and some were just beginning to rot. Some are still very complete, others are beaten to tatters. All of this indicates that there have been many frightening battles here.

The group watched in horror.

Those who were a little less courageous didn't go far before they proposed to go back, but the little official surnamed Jin had the courage to continue to move forward, and everyone went deeper and deeper.

However, it didn't take long for them to be shocked again.

A mountain appeared in the distant sky.

From Guijun, where there are no hills, there is actually a mountain.

At first, it was vague, but as everyone approached, it slowly revealed its true face, and the whole process of approaching was also a process in which everyone was gradually shocked.

Until a group of people came to it.

This is a mountain that many Hezhou people have never seen in their lives, and people seem so small in front of it.

At this moment, the shock in everyone's hearts is beyond words.

It's as if an ancient myth has come to the fore.

……

On the last day of the month, ask for a monthly pass!
