Chapter 57, the temple of moving mountains
The Hall of the Mountain Monarch
Perhaps few people outside of the Land of a Thousand Hills have heard of it. However, in this lofty mountain range where thousands of mountains converge, the Mountain Monarch Hall has a supreme position.
According to legend, there are a total of eighteen mountain kings who are in charge of the land of a thousand mountains, or they are either grass and trees, or demon beasts. Of course, there are also Terran monks who are transcendent in strength and can convince the crowd in the position of mountain king.
These eighteen mountain monarchs are each in charge of an area of the land of a thousand mountains, and the area is more or less dedicated to the mountain monarch hall. There are more than one or twenty, and there are two or three less, all depending on the mood of the mountain king.
However, the mountain monarch in this area where Qingfeng Mountain is located is the only one among the eighteen mountain monarchs who has become a stubborn stone, and he is called the mountain monarch who moves mountains. And the mountain palace enshrined in several ravines is naturally also called the mountain moving hall.
Whether it is a demon living in the land of a thousand mountains, or a human monk, there is an unwritten custom. That is near the Mountain Monarch Palace, and there is absolutely no fighting.
If you leave the Mountain Monarch Palace, it doesn't hurt for you to fight for life or death, but if you dare to make trouble in the Mountain Monarch Palace, there is basically no one who can get out of the land of a thousand mountains alive.
Over time, because of this rare peace, the Mountain Monarch Hall gradually developed into a fair-like existence in the land of a thousand mountains. Some low-level demons or beginner-level cultivators all relied on the vicinity of the Mountain Monarch Hall to survive. And some powerful people also came to the vicinity of the Mountain Monarch Hall to buy and sell treasures, or exchange information.
In short, the Mountain Monarch Hall is the most prosperous and safest place in the entire land of a thousand mountains.
At this moment, Wang Xuan stepped on the wind and traveled for three days in a row, and finally came to the nearest mountain monarch hall in Qingfeng Mountain.
After Shouyu explained the ghost poison to himself that day, Wang Xuan was not in a good mood when he left Qingfeng Mountain. It was not easy to solve the matter of the black stone species, and it involved things like the ghost king Yuanjing.
But no matter what, within three years, we must find a way to get this ghost king Yuanjing.
Later, when he asked Shouyu about the Thousand Mountains Conference, Shouyu was also surprised.
It turned out that he only knew that the mountain monarch who was in charge of the area near Qingfeng Mountain was called the mountain king, and as for the boiling stone and the Thousand Mountains Conference, Shouyu didn't know about it.
Before leaving, Shouyu recommended Wang Xuan to come to the vicinity of the moving mountain hall and ask the steward of the moving mountain hall about the news, and he might have some gains.
In desperation, Wang Xuan had no choice but to follow the direction pointed out by Shouyu to come to this mountain moving hall.
From a distance, a towering gray hall sits at the highest point of the col. The black tile and gray wall is simple and majestic.
In the vicinity of the giant hall, there are many large and small low buildings scattered around in a messy manner. The crowd is boiling, but it seems quite lively.
After going down the mountain and walking near the giant hall, Wang Xuan was just about to enter the intricate building complex, when suddenly a rabbit-headed man appeared out of nowhere and said to Wang Xuan.
"A new face I haven't seen before, just here?"
Wang Xuan looked at the man in front of him who was half a head taller than himself, with a pair of rabbit heads with red eyes, and a body with some white hair below his neck, showing his muscles and flesh, and looking extremely strong.
"It's the first time I've come here, do you have any advice?" Wang Xuan said without humility or arrogance.
The rabbit-headed man in front of him seemed a little funny, but in fact, the method of recognizing qi looked at the past, and he was the same as himself, and Wang Xuan was naturally a little jealous.
"If you are new to this place, you will be charged twenty spirit stones to enter the door, so bring it!"
The rabbit-headed man was holding a thatch in his mouth and said casually.
And the entrance fee?
Wang Xuan frowned.
To say that now, in addition to the two swords of floating light and shadow, there is only the "Shouyang Sword Technique" and the dragon bone true pill that has not yet been served. As for the thousand-faced illusion crystal, it will also be very useful in the future, and it must not be handed over at will.
At the moment, even the golden leaves that walked in the mundane world have been used up. Could it be that you really have to be stopped outside the palace of this mountain monarch when you are penniless?
Seeing that Wang Xuan was a little worried, the rabbit-headed man spit out the thatch in his mouth with a "phew" and said,
"If you don't have money, you can pay off your debts with something else. ”
Just as Wang Xuan was thinking about whether there was anything else of value on his body, a light voice came, which was difficult to distinguish between male and female, but it was quite pleasant.
"Bunnyhead, you're messing around again. ”
Hearing this voice, the cynical expression of the rabbit-headed man immediately put away, and he turned his head to the owner of the voice and said,
"Kidding, messing around with this little brother!"
"Have you had enough?"
"Hehe, enough is enough, the little one is gone!"
After finishing speaking, the rabbit-headed man did not stop, and quickly slipped away on the soles of his feet.
"Alright, come in, there is no distinction between dignity and inferiority, and there is no cashier. It doesn't matter if you are a human, a ghost or a demon, the Mountain Monarch Hall will not be turned away. The soft voice rang out again.
Wang Xuan turned around to look, and saw a person in a gray smock standing quietly in front of him, looking quite thin. It's just that his face is wearing a silver-gray mask, and he still can't see men and women.
"Whether you're here seeking asylum or bartering for goods, remember that don't mess with you. In addition, if you are new to the house, it is recommended that you go to the red-roofed mountain vine house first, and he will arrange a temporary accommodation for you. ”
With that, the masked man also turned around and walked away.
"This person is interesting!" Wang Xuan said secretly, and walked into the range of this mountain monarch hall
。
As the masked man said, there are layers of houses of different heights and different colors, and the people who walk have their own merits.
Dressed like an ordinary human Terran Confucian student, he lay in front of the house with a book scroll and basked in the sun. The shape-shifting demon clan with the head of a beast on his head sells a meat stall, and there are several pieces of red meat on top of the meat stall, which are obviously not mortal. The ghost woman standing in the scorching sun was guarding a stall, with all kinds of bones and corpses, looking a little infiltrating. All kinds of demons and ghosts are strangely shaped, but they all live in harmony, which is really eye-opening.
Stepping on the slippery bluestone steps, squeezed between two mud houses, Wang Xuan walked up from the bottom of the col again.
On the eaves on one side of the roof lazily lay a large snake with the thickness of a water tank, spitting out letters and basking in the sun. Seeing Wang Xuan walking by, he seemed to have some ill intentions and turned his head to look at Wang Xuan.
Wang Xuan already understood the rules of survival here, so he was not afraid of this big snake that swallowed more than enough for him, but smiled at it and asked,
"May I ask which way to go to Yamafui?"
The big snake's scarlet snake letter spat a few times, turned his head again, and a somewhat rough female voice sounded,
"Climb three steps up, turn right ten zhang, and go up two steps. ”
Wang Xuan bowed his head slightly,
"Thank you!"
No longer disturbing the big snake basking in the sun, Wang Xuan followed the direction it guided all the way up, and soon saw a rather magnificent red-topped stone house.
This red-roofed stone house is a bit shoddy and elaborate unlike the surrounding houses. The carved beams and painted columns, the stone beast town gate, and the three-story attic built outside are different styles, which are obviously carefully designed by people who are proficient in the way of architecture.
In front of the door, a black-edged plaque is hung, and the imposing book is written with three large gold characters of "Mountain Vine House". At this moment, the door is ajar, and I can't see if there is anyone inside.
Wang Xuan walked to the door, pushed open the black door with a "squeak", and saw that the room was empty in the middle, and an old man was holding his hands, half-lying on a rattan chair.
"Excuse me!"
Wang Xuan walked in the door and closed the door behind him to prevent the dazzling sunlight from shining in.
"What's the matter?"
The old man on the rattan chair didn't move his eyelids, but some vicissitudes of life came over.
"When the younger generation first arrived, a man with a silver mask told the boy to come here first. Wang Xuan thought for a while, but still lowered his head and replied.
"It's the mirage again," the old man muttered as if dissatisfied, and finally slowly got up.
"What's your name?" the old man's cloudy eyes looked in the dim light.
"Junior Wang Xuan!"
"Oh, don't have the surname Shi. The old man snorted, and stretched out with some satisfaction. However, just as the old man stretched his waist, Wang Xuan noticed that there were dozens of tiny long vines attached to the rattan chair behind the old man. Looking at it again, the old man's legs were also tightly attached to the legs of the rattan chair. The old man turned out to be one with the rattan chair, and countless fine roots grew under the rattan chair and dug into the ground.
"Just call me Shi Teng. The old man didn't seem to notice Wang Xuan's somewhat surprised gaze, and said with his eyebrows lowered.
Before Wang Xuan could answer, the dozens of thin roots connecting the rattan chair behind the old man suddenly stretched out, and he came to Wang Xuan with the old man in his hands.
The old man named Shi Teng suddenly twitched his nose around Wang Xuan and sniffed carefully, then he retreated with satisfaction and said again,
"Well, without the breath of the rest of the mountain kings, it doesn't look like they're here to make trouble!"
"Stone vine... The seniors and juniors are here to ask each other!"
Wang Xuan, who was startled by the old man who suddenly stretched over, said helplessly,
The long vine on the rattan chair lifted the old man of the stone vine, looked at Wang Xuan condescendingly, and said in a somewhat questioning tone,
"What are you asking?"
"A Thousand Mountains Conference!"
"The Thousand Hills Conference?"
The old man Shi Teng, who originally had a peaceful face, was suddenly startled when he heard these four words, and Chang Teng held him up and stretched out in front of Wang Xuan.
"Where did you hear that?"
Looking at the old man Shi Teng, whose face had changed greatly, Wang Xuan didn't know why he was so excited, so he had to bite the bullet and say,
"It seems to have been heard from the mountain king, the mountain king invited the kid to the Thousand Mountains Conference, but the younger generation didn't even know what the Thousand Mountains Conference was and where it was held, so he came to the Mountain King Hall to ask what was going on. ”
"Shanjun!
Hearing what Wang Xuan said, the old man Shiteng's face became even more excited, and he couldn't tell whether it was ecstasy or sadness.
"Tell me what the mountain king you see looks like!"
"Uh," Wang Xuan thought for a moment, and then replied, "Dressed quite well... Rough, and then his face was a little dirty, he couldn't see clearly, and he was dressed in gray. ”
Before Wang Xuan finished speaking, the old man Shi Teng actually had two lines of tears on his face, and his voice trembled a little,
"Lord Shanjun, it's finally back!"
About a hundred miles away from the temple of moving mountains, a man dressed in gray and unkempt sat on the edge of a cliff. At his feet, a sea of lush forests. The mountain wind blew, and the forest sea turned up a turquoise wave.
Behind the Mountain Mover, there was an extremely strange monster standing on the empty cliff.
One large, two small and three pairs of translucent antlers, covered in blue-gray scale armor, lion head, elk body, and three long tails on the back. The four hooves floated on the ground, each stepping on a gloomy phosphorus fire.
"Moving mountains, are you sure that person will really bring the Hidden Dragon Book to this Thousand Mountains Conference?"
The strange monster beast spoke, and asked the mountain-moving mountain monarch in front of him.
The king of the mountains did not look back, and the voice came,
"Heiqi, apart from this opportunity, do you still have a choice?"
This strange monster turned out to be a rumored extremely rare monster beast - the Black Kirin.
The black unicorn was silent for a moment before he spoke,
"No, at most, there will be a year at most, and the thunder tribulation is coming, and I am never sure that I will survive this thunder tribulation!"
"That's not enough, in this Thousand Mountains Conference, the Hidden Dragon Book is your only hope. Remember, don't forget our promise!".
The black unicorn was silent for a moment, and did not answer, stepping on four phosphorus fires and flying away.
The mountain mover who stayed here alone looked at the forest sea under his feet and sighed a little abruptly.
