Chapter 143: Ancient Plains and Old Strange Hills
In the Dongting Mansion, Cui Yue was entertaining visitors in the guest pavilion.
This is a seventeen or eighteen-year-old Taoist, who said to him: "Senior brother, the teacher said, this grand drama you presented is good, you can watch it, the teacher said, I want the senior brother to do a good job in the East Garden, and the teacher is also watching." ”
Cui Yue made a joke and said, "Please go back and tell the teacher, the disciple has a rare opportunity, and he will not take responsibility for himself." ”
The Taoist also gave a salute and said, "The words have been brought, and the junior brother will turn back to the upper echelons, and the senior brother will not send it." So saying, he turned and went out, and then looked, and leaped away, and flew away.
Cui Yue saw his people leaving, so he returned to the room, and he was deeply impressed when he watched the drama, so he sent it to his teacher Chen Tingzhi.
In fact, if Chen Tingzhi was stationed in the Heavenly Dao Chapter, then there would be no need to be so troublesome, and he would have sent it directly, but for some reason, this person has not done so far.
He guessed that it might be due to some big picture consideration, which was not something he could ask anyway.
He calmed down, cleaned up, and left this guest house on the outskirts of the city, and flew away in the direction of Ruiguang City.
It's just that he was only halfway through when someone in the Heavenly Dao Chapter told him: "Xuan Zheng, the few people we were staring at before who were suspected of seeing the Divine Resurrection Eyeliner had all died of taking medicine in their residences. ”
Cui Yue's eyes froze, and he asked, "Has anyone contacted them?"
The person who told the priest said, "We have sensed a faint supernatural power beforehand, and the other side must have communicated it to the believers in the form of an oracle. ”
Cui Yue's first reaction was that these people had already found that they were spying on them, so in order not to expose themselves, they cleared them in advance.
It is not surprising that the Fushen Society will do this, they have always not treated people as human beings, and these people's positions in the Dongting Mansion Continent are not high, and if they give up, they will give up.
But just as he was thinking about it, there was movement in the Dao Zhang, but several news came to him one after another, all of which said that some suspected strongholds of the Restoration God Society were also places he had deliberately left before, and now the building was empty.
Because these strongholds are far away in the deep valleys of the dense forest, and there are many indigenous tribes and spiritual creatures around them, it is not easy to monitor, and the other party used supernatural means to cover up before withdrawing, so they could not be discovered in time.
Cui Yue looked at it and found that the means of withdrawing all the strongholds were the same, and they all happened at about the same time, so this was undoubtedly an orderly retreat.
There are signs that the power of the Restoration Society is shrinking.
His first reaction was that this matter was related to the last blow, but after thinking about it again, he found that it was wrong, the two things were separated by a long time, and the other party reacted, and it was impossible to wait until now.
So did you decide to give up the East Court Fight, so you turned to shrinking?
He thought about it and shook his head, as long as the Restoration Society itself still exists, then things will not end so simply, there must be some other schemes, but now that he has completely lost those strongholds, it is not easy to grasp the movements of this generation.
He looked at the Ansan Ridge in the distance and said secretly, "What is this generation planning?"
At this moment, in the depths of the land and earth east of Ansan, most of the members of the Restoration Society scattered among the tribes are in action, using the indigenous people of the tribe to hunt a large number of spiritual creatures, and at the same time promising certain benefits, encouraging some alien gods to deal with some hostile alien gods.
It was the sacrifice of the One they were preparing to awaken.
By the time July approached, it was all set, and three members of the Restoration Order in metal masks had gathered in an indigenous tribe.
The woman in the bronze mask said suspiciously, "Is this the place? There are less than fifty people in this tribe, right?
The golden mask said, "If it weren't for the fact that this tribe is so small, I wouldn't have found a clue until now." ”
He stepped on a muddy ground full of dead branches and leaves, and came to an altar made of clods of earth under a large tree, and the pillar in the middle of the altar had been slightly polished, painted with bright blue and red dye, and had drawn two eyes, as if staring at the comer.
The man in the gold mask took out a glass bottle, uncorked it, and poured some golden powder towards the altar.
After the powder was sprinkled, the eyes on the stone altar blinked, and a strange light flashed, and then an old man with a child on his back appeared on the stone pillar.
He was on a tall cane, his features were bloated and twisted, his body was gray-black and gray-white feathers, the rest of his body was wrapped in tough leaves, and his lower body was a cloud of smoke, floating there out of thin air, and he looked at several people, with a strange smile on his face.
The man in the golden mask said in a deep voice, "God Queenie, according to the agreement, I have given you sacrifices, and you need to take us to the god hill. ”
Queenie's voice hissed, "Come with me." He floated down from the stone altar and led the way into the dense forest behind him.
The three of them immediately followed him into the dense forest, and wherever the old man passed, there would be a path through which he could walk, but soon, a mist rose in the forest.
They found that they seemed to have melted into the mist, and even their bodies and limbs seemed to have disappeared, except for the figure of the god Queenie in front of them.
And here, blurring time, blurring thoughts and consciousness, I don't know how long it has passed, as if waking up from a drowsy dream, the three of them woke up at once, I don't know when, the fog around them has dissipated, and they are standing on an empty, dirt slope full of fine gravel.
Queenie took the staff and pointed ahead, saying, "It's here." And there it is, the 'Quimesimpa Hill', the place of the birth of the gods, the place of supreme blessings. ”
The three of them looked up, but when they first saw it, except for the man in the golden mask, the other two had a doubt in their hearts, and even had a trace of doubt about whether this was the place they were looking for.
Because on the opposite side is an inconspicuous conical earth mountain, which looks like a common fire crater on the ground, and the surrounding area is bare, and there is no vegetation, except for a larger and more regular one, there is no imaginary magnificent building on it, and there is almost nothing to praise it.
The woman in the bronze mask couldn't help but wonder, "Shenqiu, is this it?"
Queenie said, "It's here, it's just that because you're not close to her, you can't feel her greatness yet." ”
The man with the blue mask and the bun did not question it lightly, for he could see that such a large hill was symmetrical from any side, which was not something that could be done by man, and the beauty of the lines was very much in line with the legend.
The Golden Mask said: "Yes or no, you will know until the front." ”
The god Queenie floated down from the mound, leading the three of them on, it was very quiet, there was no sound, no sense of time passing, only the feeling that he was getting closer to the mound.
The woman in the bronze mask muttered, "At the beginning of His coming, there was no sound in this world, the waters were still, and the stars were solid......"
The Cyan Masked Man knew that it was a psalm in praise of an ancient god, but at the moment, it seemed to be an unexpected fit for the present scene.
After a long journey, they came to the bottom of the hill, and then two identical trapezoidal doors appeared in front of the three of them.
The trapezoidal door was attached to the mountain wall, showing a slope, the edge of the door was wide, the lines were straight and stiff and immaculate, it was extremely tall, and it looked like it could accommodate the giants passing through, but it was pitch black inside, and it was impossible to see anything, as if any sound and light had been swallowed up in it.
When the woman in the bronze mask saw this, she was obviously shocked, and exclaimed: "This is the legendary ......"
The man in the golden mask said in a deep voice: "The Twin Gates of Ildo, the legendary gate of the bad land and the good land, I also found this place, so I can be sure that this is the place we are looking for, the legendary 'Kui Mesipa God Hill'. ”
After a moment of silence, he turned to the side and continued, "Now it's up to us to decide which door to take, and we can only choose one of them. ”
The cyan masked man said, "Can't you go separately?"
The golden-masked man said in a voice that seemed to be reciting, "The Divine Fruit bears twins, and only one of them falls to the ground. Behind the door are two gods sleeping, one is the good god Ichmandan and the other is the evil god Irukuga. ”
The woman in the bronze mask said in an interested tone, "Legend has it that the two of them look exactly the same, and even their father can't tell them apart, only their mother, Icche.
When the other gods asked her how she did it, she said that she would eat a clover every time before meeting the two brothers, and that whenever the good god came, the lost clover would bloom, and when the evil god came, it would close.
Someone asked, what if two brothers showed up together?
Iche replied that she would never see two people at the same time, and that after saying this, the two brothers had never appeared together in front of other gods, and that there would be no good gods where evil gods appeared, and no evil gods where good gods appeared. ”
The cyan masked man was thoughtful, these poems tell the story of the "Ipar Divine Race", the "Ipar Divine Clan", which is a race called ancient gods by Tianxia, and they are here today to awaken one of them.
Although the stories in the psalms seem very ordinary, he knows that the legendary psalms are often not as simple as they seem to be, and many blood, barbarism, and cruelty are hidden behind seemingly simple but actually obscure narratives.
For example, if you think about this matter deeply, you can't help but feel a sense of horror.
The two brothers no longer appear at the same time, does that imply that the two brothers are actually only one person left in the end, and they are both good and evil at the same time, as for where the other has gone, it is difficult to think about it.
Also, it is recorded in the Psalms that the two brothers would go to meet the mother goddess Cheney every two days, and from the metaphor that the three-leaf clover fruit eaten would blossom and bear fruit the next time, was it really the same person who came out of there every time?
He shook his head, didn't think about it anymore, but looked at the two doors in front of him, and said, "If you look at the story from the point of view of the story, the divinity of the two, good and evil, must be separated, so we can only choose one of the doors. ”
