Chapter 60: Kunpeng
"Boom!" The third stone door opened, the cold wind howled, and the entire underground palace was enveloped by a cold air in an instant, and the roar of the beast came as promised, making people tremble.
"Senior, what are you?" Yuan Qiyun used to ward off the cold.
"I'm afraid of pulling!" Gu Xian smiled, "Don't worry, there is no danger here at the moment, of course, it won't be easy to say in the future!"
Yuan Qi hesitated, but still pulled Wan Ting to walk towards the stone gate.
Gu Xian smiled: "You have the guts!"
Stepping into the stone gate, there is no imaginary grotto stone wall, what catches your eye is ice and snow, and there is a stone tablet standing horizontally in front of you, engraved with two ancient words, "Ice Valley!"
"Bing Gu was also a very prosperous sect back then, but then an accident happened and it was destroyed in a big war, and Penglai was established on the ruins of Ice Valley!" Gu Xian said as he walked, "When you first came in, you should have seen that stone statue!"
Yuan Qi's heart moved: "Could it be that the fierce beast that is sealed here?"
"Not bad!" Gu Xian nodded, "But the real one is much larger than a stone statue, and in terms of volume, it can be compared to a palace!"
"Ancient Fierce Beasts, I have seen a lot of them in the Hundred Beast Battles!" Yuan Qi asked suspiciously, "It's just that this fierce beast is not recorded in the book!"
"Its origin is very long, you can chase it to the beginning of heaven and earth!" Gu Xian seemed to fall into a long memory, and said silently, "Its name is Kunpeng!"
"Kunpeng!" Yuan Qi was taken aback, "Isn't that a fierce beast that only exists in the verse?"
"Have you heard?" Gu Xian said in surprise.
Zhuangzi Youyun: "There is a fish in the north of the underworld, and its name is Kun." The Kun is so big that I don't know how many thousands of miles it is, and it turns into a bird, and its name is Peng. Peng's back, I don't know how many thousands of miles it is. Flying in anger, its wings are like clouds hanging from the sky!" Yuan Qi said, "It's just that these are things that appear out of thin air!"
"It's well written, it's just that this Kunpeng is not the other Kunpeng!" Gu Xian said lightly, "It is a veritable fierce beast, once it is born, there is almost nothing in this world that can compete with it!"
"Seniors call themselves immortals, isn't there a way?" Yuan Qi said.
"Are you sarcastic about me?" Gu Xian sneered, "The real immortals in this world have long ceased to exist, and if you want to fight against Kunpeng, unless you can reach the realm of the ancient gods, in other words, the supreme goodness in your Qingcheng lineage is like water!"
"Kindness is like water, I heard Master mention it, it is a legendary realm, it is said that anyone who wants to step into that realm will encounter an ominous one, and no one has really stepped over so far?" Wan Ting recalled.
"When the moon is full, it will be lost, and when the water is full, it will overflow, when a person wants to rush to the top, he will always encounter all kinds of weirdness, which is inevitable, only a person with a strong heart can truly transcend!"
The cold wind was blowing, like a beast, and the monkey shrank in Yuan Qi's arms, only revealing a pair of lovely eyes, looking at the snow outside in horror.
This is a plain, in the center, an iceberg is engraved with dense seals, in the depths of the iceberg, there is a huge beast body, jet black hair, the beast body renders a terrifying magic light, those terrible roars, from the tip of its nose, just the most basic breath, two blood-red wings on its back, flickering from time to time, eagle head and eagle wings, but with the body and tail of a kun, almost perfect fit.
"After so many years, the smell of blood on this beast is still there, and I don't know how many people that pair of wings killed back then!" Gu Xian recalled.
Yuan Qi was shocked, the seal on this was much stronger than the monkey's, in the air, the Qiankun Diagram was circling, and there were countless blood-red thunderbolts there, I don't know how many years it had existed.
"This is incredible, using the sea of thunderclouds as the source, to establish such a huge Qiankun seal, in order to seal this Kunpeng that existed in ancient times!" Yuan Qi said.
"Quack—quack!" In the sky, several eagle birds circled.
"Are there any other creatures here?" asked Wan Ting.
"I said, this was once a holy place, and it's not strange that there are birds and beasts!" Gu Xian punched out a magic seal, triggered the seal on the iceberg, and silently sensed it for a long time, and said, "Fortunately, the seal is very strong, and there is no sign of awakening!"
"Is it likely to wake up?" Wan Ting was shocked.
"Normally, no, unless something special happens, for example, ten years ago, before Emperor Ming died, he once punched the Heavenly Book Secret Power to enter here, if I hadn't stopped it in time, it would have woken up a long time ago!" Gu Xian glanced up at a few vultures in the air, licked his mouth, and said to himself, "It's been a long time since I tasted meat!"
Yuan Qi was speechless, and suddenly there was a cooing sound around him, and when he looked back, he saw that Wan Ting was holding her stomach in embarrassment.
The cold qi in Gu Xian's hand gathered to form an ice bow, handed it to Yuan Qi, and said, "Boy, I'll leave it to you!"
Yuan Qi took the ice bow, looked at the vultures above his head, and said in his heart: "This old man is very greedy!"
Yuan raised his bow, two spirit arrows shot into the air, and the two vultures screamed and fell to the ground.
"Hehe, good, good, good!" Gu Xian praised again and again, the original Dao Bone Immortal Wind disappeared in an instant, and the ghostly light in his hand flashed, and in an instant, two blue flames were born on this land of ice and snow.
"Didn't the seniors want to roast this Kunpeng beast too!" Yuan Qi looked at the old man's eating appearance and joked.
"Then it has to be able to be roasted!" Gu Xian laughed, "This beast has been sealed here for thousands of years, and its body has long been stained with frost gas, and it is impossible to roast it with ordinary flames!"
"Senior!" Wan Ting picked up an eagle's leg and said, "With your cultivation, you should have stopped eating grains for a long time, how can you still covet this worldly thing!"
"The reason why I use the name of the grain is this, the world is inseparable from the grain, this is the nature of human beings!"
Yuan Qi ate barbecue, staring at the Kunpeng murderer, not knowing what he was thinking.
Gu Xian turned his eyes and said, "Okay, for the sake of you inviting me to eat barbecue, I'll tell you about this Kunpeng!"
Yuan Qi and Wan Ting looked at Gu Xian together.
"Legend has it that in ancient times, when the heavens and the earth first opened, in addition to Nuwa Niangniang, there were three ancient gods in the world, the Mandate of Heaven, the Earth Evil, and the Burning Mo, the Mandate of Heaven was in charge of the heaven and the earth, and the so-called turning over the hands for the clouds and covering the hands for the rain came from him. There is no doubt that the earth is in charge of the realm, the underworld is powerful, and all the plagues and diseases come from him. As for Burning Mo, it is like a beacon, leading all things in the world and allowing them to evolve slowly!" Gu Xian said slowly.
"These three great gods have such a division of labor, there should be contradictions!" Yuan Qi asked.
"Not bad!" Gu Xian glanced at Yuan Qi and said, "But they are all existences with great wisdom, so they naturally understand the truth of this." Before Nuwa didn't create people, they got along very well, playing chess, playing the piano, and traveling the world!" Gu Xian said this, his face became obsessed, as if he was talking about himself.
"Nuwa took pity on the lack of vitality in the earth, evolved vitality at the cost of her own life, created man, and at the same time plunged herself into a catastrophe! In one day there, a group of human beings was formed!" Gu Xian said, "This race is different from wild beasts, they have wisdom, know how to create, and they have become the masters of the world with almost no effort! It was at this time that the contradiction between the three great gods finally appeared!"
"Then have they ever thought about resolving it?" Wan Ting said.
"Of course there were, but do you know that all the contradictions in this world will be quantified, especially when the greedy, evil, cunning and murderous nature of human beings gradually leaks, and the original contradictions between the three great gods have disappeared, one day, the Mandate of Heaven is angry, and wants to destroy all this, overnight, the earth flooded, countless people were displaced, and the world became hell!" Gu Xian paused and said, " At that time, he had great prestige in the world and was respected as the emperor, and he was very disgusted by what the Mandate of Heaven did, thinking that the Mandate of Heaven only saw the ugliness of the world, and did not see love in the world, and returned to the heart of the world!
"What did they say?" Yuan Qi asked subconsciously.
"No one knows what they are talking about, only that these two ancient gods finally parted ways!" Gu Xian shook his head and said, "So this didn't really solve the contradiction, and finally one day, the Mandate of Heaven rained down again, and this also led Burning Mo to the edge of anger, the sky and the earth fell apart, the sea withered and the rocks rotted, and the mountains and rocks collapsed, but at that time, the human race was the dominant belief in the human emperor, which caused the strength of Burning Mo to be extremely strong, and finally the Mandate of Heaven was invincible, and he retreated in defeat!"
"This battle is also the end of the ancients!" Gu Xian paused, and then said, "The strength of Burning Mo made the Mandate of Heaven feel great pressure, so he went to the Earth Realm, found the Earth Demon who was good with him, and said that the Earth Demon joined forces with him!"
"Didn't you hesitate a little bit?" asked Yuan Qi.
"Naturally, there is, but at that time, the world believed in the human emperor, and the huge power of faith could make Burning Mo the most powerful god in heaven and earth, this situation was not allowed by the earth, he was in charge of the earth, and naturally he didn't want the world to be dominant, so he agreed to the mandate of heaven, and the combination of the two made the world rampant in an instant, and the plague and heavy rain almost covered the entire world!" Gu Xian said, " When he came back, he saw that the world he had created had become so miserable, and you could imagine his anger at that time, especially when he saw the death of his wife in the world and the plague, he became even more uncontrollable, and he found the destiny and the earth shatter in the heavenly realm at that time!"
"That must be another unimaginable battle!" Wan Ting said.
"Yes, this is also the last battle in ancient times, Burning Mo is like a demon, the moves are all desperate postures, the Mandate of Heaven and the Earth Demon also don't want to let go, the two sides fought for seven days, and the final result is that the Earth Demon is half wasted, and the Burning Mo will kill the Mandate of Heaven on the spot, and he is already full of holes!" Gu Xian looked at the bright fire in front of him, as if he was showing the scene at that time, "At this time, the Spirit of Nuwa appeared, she persuaded this battle, and at the same time threw the problem of the Mandate of Heaven to Burning Mo!"
At that time, the divine power of Burning Mo faded greatly, and his whole person began to fade, but he still answered this question, he said that good and evil exist in people's hearts, that is the real person, no matter how upright and good a person is, there will always be an evil side in his heart, the same reason, in the evil person, there will also be good thoughts in the heart, this is unavoidable, evil thoughts can be controlled, but can not be eliminated, he hopes that human beings can have a chance, a chance to let good defeat evil, for this he is willing to take himself as a guide, turn into a pure water, absorb all evil thoughts in human natureEvery other life, there will be a host body in the world, divided into two levels, to achieve a kind of balance, he is born and he dies, never to see each other!" Gu Xian said.
"The willow leaves are like smoke and faint poems, and the desolate dreams are like ghosts!" Yuan Qi said silently, "Could it be that the so-called two levels are these two people?"
"Yes, one good and one evil, achieve balance!" Gu Xian nodded.
"And what happened later?" Wan Ting asked.
"Later, the spirit of Nuwa agreed to his approach, but the resentment of the destiny was deep, and he sat down and the strange beast Kunpeng had already gone to the world! So the half-ruined earth demon was ordered to hunt down and kill Kunpeng, and after several twists and turns, he sealed it in the ice valley!" Gu Xian said lightly.
"Senior, this is a true story?" Hearing this, Yuan Qi was shocked, "Could it be that you are the earth demon in the story!"
Gu Xian shook his head, and there was a hint of loneliness in his eyes: "The Earth Demon has long since died, most of his divine power has dissipated between heaven and earth, and the remaining Earth Demon power has long since disappeared!"
The more Yuan Qi thought about it, the more frightened he became, the peaceful old man in front of him was actually a great god who had lived from ancient times to the present, which made him really unbelievable, and he asked again: "Then what does this have to do with Emperor Tianming, could it be that Emperor Tianming has the power of earth evil in his body?"
"On the contrary, I sensed the power of Destiny in him!" said Ceres, solemnly.
"Isn't Destiny dead?" Wan Ting asked.
"It's true that it's dead, but when the three great gods were together, they wrote three strange books, the Mandate of Heaven, the Earth Evil, and the Book of People, these three books are immortal, I suspect that the Book of Destiny is hidden somewhere in the Demon Sect!"
"Uh!" Yuan Qi paused, and suddenly asked again, "Senior, you just mentioned pure water, where are you now?"
"The so-called pure water is related to the ancient poem you just recited, it is rumored that the blood of these two people fused together under a certain specific situation, and a huge pool will be summoned, since ancient times, pure water has also appeared in the world a few times, no one can say clearly!" Gu Xian thought for a while, and said, "Of course, if you can find the descendants of the burning Mo back then, it is also possible to make the pure water appear in the world!"
"Descendants of Burning Mo?" asked Yuan Qi.
"Boy, I advise you, don't be delusional, tens of thousands of years have passed, the pure water has long been different, no matter how pure the water has absorbed countless evil thoughts, it has long become impure, Penglai's Tianchi is an example!"
"It's so terrible!" Wan Ting was shocked.
"Okay, it's time for us to leave!" Gu Xian got up and looked at the sky, "Staying in this place for a long time, although it can exercise people, but my old arms and legs are really unbearable!"
Returning to the underground palace, Yuan Qi was like in a dream, a door, connecting a world, this is really unbelievable, seeing the stone door closed, the original seal covered again, which made him think that he was in a fantasy world.
"It's so cold!" Wan Ting shuddered, and was about to close the stone door when she came to the door of the Shy Mansion.
"Stop!" Gu Xian dodged and grabbed her, "Now that the monkey is not there, the gate of the Boo Mansion is connected to the Qiankun seal above, if it is closed, this entire Penglai forbidden land will be in a sealed state, until someone can see through the three thousand ancient knots, and it can be reopened!"
"It's so serious!" Wan Ting patted her chest and said in fear.
"Do you think the head of Penglai is so easy to do?" Gu Xian said, "In the past, I don't know how many heroes and heroes were buried in this mansion!"
"Senior, then how do we leave?" asked Yuan Qi.
"We?" Gu Lao asked rhetorically, "It's me leaving, and as for you, I can show you the way!"
As he spoke, Old Man Gu smiled, with a hint of loneliness in his eyes, his body slowly faded, and said, "Now that my strength is different from the past, how can I still have the ability to take you away?"
"Then seniors, please advise!" Yuan Qi said respectfully.
"Come with me!" Gu Xian held a water-repellent bead in his hand, and his body emitted a ghostly light, and he dived into it along the cold pool.
Yuan Qi grabbed Wan Ting, did not hesitate, and quickly followed.
In the cold pool, Gu Xian's eyes were re-transformed into the netherworld, floating corpses one by one, and unwilling resentment came from the surface, like a powerful ghost, all kinds of ugliness, which made people frightened!
Wan Ting leaned close to Yuan Qi, and the monkey in her arms shrank even more, looking around in fear.
"Don't look around, just when they don't exist!" Gu Xian reminded, "In order to seal Kunpeng back then, there were no less than a thousand people who died here, and they were all first-class masters!"
The black pool water poured in, and even with the water-repellent beads in his hand, Yuan Qi could still smell the smell of corpses.
"Here we are!" In front of us, there is another underground palace, unlike before, there are two pools sinking here, and there are countless corpses piled up on the bones by the pool, and the corpse chrysalis is wriggling, making people sick.
"Senior, what are you doing here!" Yuan Qi frowned, feeling uncomfortable here.
"For you, this is the only exit!" Gu Xian glanced at Wan Ting and said with a smile, "Of course, the premise is that you are not afraid of being dirty!"
Yuan Qi patted Wan Ting's back and comforted, "It's okay!"
"Okay!" Gu Xian's appearance suddenly became a little scary, and a series of strange sounds came out of his mouth, as if he was calling for something. Gradually, in another pool, huge waves waved, and a huge figure emerged, it was a corpse chrysalis, full of ten zhang high!
Yuan Qi looked familiar, this was the corpse chrysalis that chased them in the whirlpool at the beginning.
"Senior, don't you want to, let it take us away!" Wan Ting said tremblingly.
Gu Xian was silent, he came to the corpse chrysalis and muttered a few words softly, the corpse chrysalis moved his head, it seemed to be extremely familiar with this old man, it seemed very intimate, small eyes, staring at Yuan Qi and Wan Ting, and finally opened its mouth full of fishy smell.
"This, is this going to eat us?" Wan Ting took a few steps back.
"If you want to leave, you have to bear it!" Gu Xian suddenly became very indifferent, he handed the water-repellent bead to Yuan Qi, and spoke again, "You enter its belly, it will take you to the Lethe River Pier, this water-repellent bead can prevent you from being corroded by its gastric juice!"
"But!" Wan Ting looked at the pouring mouth, very disgusted.
Yuan Qi held the water-avoiding bead in his hand and blocked in front of Wan Ting and persuaded: "This is the only chance, let's go!"
Enduring the fishy smell in the mouth of the corpse chrysalis, those saliva drips, although they were resisted by the barrier formed by the water beads, it was still unacceptable.
"Senior, there will be a period later!" Yuan Qi said while standing in the mouth of the corpse chrysalis.
Gu Xian nodded, let the corpse chrysalis close his mouth, and slowly dived into the water, a mysterious smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he said to himself: "Boy, do you think that the trapped dragon tribulation will be so easy for you to get through?" I promise you will come back!"
