Chapter 41 Chapter Seven: Kunlun in Myths and Legends

In this way, the two stopped and talked, and this day has come to the foot of Kunlun Mountain. In the time and space of mythology, this famous mountain is located in the very center of the "Heaven Realm", and there is a very tall and majestic divine tree on the mountain: Jianmu. According to the records in ancient books, Jianmu is the ladder connecting the heaven and the human world. At that time, if ordinary people had any injustices, they could also climb up the Jianmu and go straight to the heaven to make a statement to the emperor. Yao Sheng herself was imprisoned by a force field on a small island in the south when she was in the time and space of mythology, so she never had the opportunity to visit any place. Bring back what you have seen and discuss with Yao Sheng.

Therefore, although she was not able to travel around in the time and space of mythology, she also had a deep understanding of the entire mythology world. She knew that at that time, the boundary around Kunlun was like an isolated island surrounded by a vast ocean. It is called "return to the market". At that time, the celestial world around Kunlun consisted of four celestial pillars. Later, one of the celestial pillars, the "Mountain of Buzhou", broke, and the entire celestial system tilted, which led to major events in the divine world, such as the battle between Gong Gong and Zhu Rong, and Nuwa's sacrifice of her life to mend the sky. , And finally led to the most serious "Battle of Zhuolu".

And the passage connecting the gods and the human world: Jianmu, was later ordered by the emperor of heaven to be cut off by the two gods "Chong" and "Li", the sons of Kua'e, and the gods and people will be extinct forever. But these are the past thousands of years ago. At this moment, the Kunlun Mountain area is full of greenery, and there is a flat wilderness below the mountain. Looking around, the sky is vast, and it has long since lost its divine appearance. It just looks peaceful , is no different from ordinary famous mountains and scenic spots. Yao Sheng stood at the entrance of the mountain road, seeing the majestic mountain, couldn't help but think of the scene when Di Menghun told her about the great events in the God Realm many years ago.

In the vicinity of this famous mountain, there have been too many amazing past events, even if they want to mention it, they may not be able to finish it in three days and three nights. Back then, it was here that the human god Houyi chased the ten suns that ravaged the world, and shot them all down. It was also here that the human god Nuwa cut off the life juice from her body, smelted five-color stones to mend the sky, and finally died of exhaustion in front of Buzhou Mountain. It was here back then that the mad god Kuafu chased the fleeing sun, and in the end he detonated a force field explosion with Xi He, the mother of the sun god, and died at the same time.

It was also here that year that Di Menghun was affected by the huge explosion of the force field and entered the "Ghost City" built by another alien god "Houtu". It was even here back then that the great god "Xian" who loved the people deeply stole the soil from the heaven to save the people who were harmed by the flood, but was killed in Yushan later. Wu Huan has seen these past events more or less in Master Di's records, but Yao Sheng's narration sounds even more exciting, as if one can imagine the magnificence and fantasy of the mythical world back then.

Not a day later, the two of them had entered the mountain environment of Kunlun Mountain. At this time, the mountain road had become rugged, and steep mountains and deep valleys appeared from time to time.At this moment, Wu Huan and Yao Sheng have come to the side of a forest, there are some shopkeepers who have set up a few thatched sheds with boilers, and sell simple pasta. It seems that this is the road to the mountain, and there are not many travelers coming and going. It's not too little, so we opened a pasta shed here. After walking for half a day, Wu Huan felt a little hungry, so she asked Yao Sheng about it, and the two of them went into the noodle shed to have a rest and eat something by the way.

Suddenly, someone protruded from the shed and said loudly: "Of course I know what the problem is, of course it's all because of Jiang Ziya's fault!" The voice was quite clear, shouted suddenly in the quiet mountain area, the voice would spread far away, and echoed in the valley, for a moment, as if joking, only the same voice echoed in the valley In a word. "...That Jiang Ziya is bad! It's that Jiang Ziya that's bad! It's that Jiang Ziya that's bad!..." Wu Huan looked around where the sound was coming from, a little funny, and only saw a small valley nearby. There was only a stone bridge connecting the valley to the opposite mountain. He bowed his waist, as if he was arguing with someone.

At the other end of the stone bridge was a man with the appearance of an Orion. The Orion looked desperate and helpless, and he was carrying a large bundle of heavy firewood, because he could neither advance nor retreat on the stone bridge. But the Taoist showed no mercy, just blocked Orion's way, not letting him go, no matter how loud Orion yelled, he would not let him go. The waiters in the tea shed started to snicker at this moment, and one of them said, "Shen Gongbao, a lunatic, has sex with someone again, and that old Orion man is really unlucky." I saw that the Taoist named Shen Gongbao still pointed to the sky and the earth, first he said that he had read poetry and books, and he was full of Taoist magic power. If Jiang Ziya hadn't hindered him, how could he have fallen to this point.After a while, he said that the Orion didn't know right from wrong, he was obviously just a stranger on the mountain road, and it was too hurtful to swear at him just because he crossed the bridge slowly. The men sent by Jiang Ziya are going to drive Shen Gongbao to a dead end?

Wu Huan was listening, but the more he listened, the more he couldn't help but laugh.This Taoist seemed to be a entangled person, and the Orion didn't know how powerful he was, and provoked him for no reason, so he started chattering unrelentingly. What's more interesting is that this Taoist not only speaks freely, but also speaks freely. The most interesting thing is that he can blame Jiang Ziya for everything, and everything is Jiang Ziya's fault. It's just... Wu Huan wondered curiously in his heart whether this Jiang Ziya and Naxiqi's military adviser Jiang Ziya were the same person.

I saw that poor old Orion man propping up on the stone bridge for a while, and then he couldn't bear it any longer, so he retreated to the other end, unloading the firewood and panting.Then Shen Gongbao accused him for a while, and then he crossed his hands in satisfaction, and shouted fiercely: "Brother Orion, is what I said justified?" The old Orion man snorted and didn't answer. Shen Gongbao laughed out loud. "What does 'hmph' mean? Come on, let me ask you again, do you think it's all Jiang Ziya's fault?" The Orion held back his breath and reluctantly replied: "I'm afraid it is!"

"What is it!" Shen Gongbao laughed loudly, and then he stepped aside contentedly, and took out a feather fan from somewhere, which looked like a fairy, "You just said that earlier?" The old Orion man was finally able to cross the bridge. He strenuously carried the firewood on his back and walked across the stone bridge with difficulty, but his face smelled like something was stinky. As soon as he crossed the stone bridge, the expression on his face suddenly became ferocious. He roared furiously, unloaded the firewood and swung his fists, intending to rush towards Shen Gongbao and beat him up. Seeing that the Taoist Shen Gongbao was about to suffer from Orion's good fight for a while, but saw that he was calm and calm, and he took out a sword from nowhere in his hand, and cut off his head with a "chi" sound, "Gudong "It fell to the ground with a sound. The Orion's eyes widened, his anger turned into limp legs, and his whole body was limp on the ground like mud. But Shen Gongbao's head fell to the ground, and he couldn't stop laughing. Seeing such a spectacle, Wu Huan couldn't help being dumbfounded, there were a few heavy inhalations behind her, and then the waiters and the guests screamed out in agony as if they had seen a ghost escape. Only Yao Sheng glanced at the fallen human head coldly, and said with disdain: "This is a technique commonly used by barbarians, called the 'head-off technique', but it can only be used to bluff people, as long as you are not frightened by it." , kick the head into the deep valley, and after one hour or three quarters, as long as the head is not attached back, it will bleed and die." Even so, it is amazing to see a head that has been separated from the body and still be able to speak and move. I saw that the old Orion man was frightened and couldn't get up no matter what he did, and he didn't care about the mountain firewood he had gathered so hard. I can only run away by rolling and crawling. Shen Gongbao laughed loudly with his head on the ground, looking at the empty surroundings in a blink of an eye, he was even more proud. Suddenly, his laughter stopped abruptly, but his eyes looked at Wuhuan and Yao Sheng in surprise, and his leisurely reaction to them was even more impressive. It is puzzling. Shen Gongbao's headless body came over, picked up the fallen head in his arms, turned around, and walked in the direction of Wu Huan and Yao Sheng, but deliberately did not attach the head. Around the empty pasta shed, there was no one left at this time, only the three of them were left. "Please," Shen Gongbao said with his head in his arms, and then he said something that made people laugh and cry: "Do you two know that bastard Jiang Ziya?" Yao Sheng turned his head coldly, refusing to talk to him.Although Wu Huan had heard Yao Sheng's explanation, she still felt a little uncomfortable seeing a headless man holding her own head, so she just smiled reluctantly. "I saw it once." "Then you must be able to tell," Shen Gongbao actually put his head on Wuhuan's table with a "broken" sound, "Then Jiang Ziya is a treacherous boy, isn't he?" "I..." Wu Huan forced a smile and said, "I can't see it." Shen Gongbao's eyes widened and he was about to have a seizure when he heard Yao Sheng say coldly, "Aren't you connected at the other end? It's almost 1:30, how about I kick your head down the valley?" Such a sentence is far more effective than any golden decree. Shen Gongbao's face changed drastically, and the headless body hurriedly picked up the head and put it on the neck. Let him take it back. He accepted it, but he still tried to be brave and said: "Hmph, my Shen Gongbao's technique of leaving the head is not just for a short while, but I just took it back because I was afraid of embarrassing you little lady." After muttering for a while, he turned back to Wuhuan and asked, "Where did I just say?" Originally, before Shen Gongbao's head was taken back, it was 70% scary and 300% funny, but when the head was taken back, Wu Huan found that his face was like a crown jade, with three shiny black beards on his face. He looked like a man of 30 years old, but he was actually a Taoist with outstanding appearance. But thinking of his behavior, people can't help but shake their heads. However, Wu Huan couldn't help but interface: "Speaking of Jiang Ziya." "That man! He's a perfidious person," said Shen Gongbao angrily at this reminder, "I'm his junior brother who has practiced Taoism for many years! On the top of Kunlun Mountain that day, I heard that he assisted Xiqi Jichang, I also won the list of gods on Kunlun, and I was planning to come and talk to him, but I couldn't think of it... Humph!" Yao Sheng and Wu Huan both paid attention to his words, Yao Sheng frowned and asked, "What's the 'Feng Shen Bang'?" Shen Gongbao rolled his eyes strangely, and said, "Aren't you brothers and sisters for decades? Why do you meet strangers like this when you are proud, man! Is it worth it?" Yao Sheng held back his temper and asked again: "I'm asking you, what's the 'Feng Shen Bang'?" Shen Gongbao looked at her and smiled approvingly. "You little girl has some knowledge." He didn't see Yao Sheng's background for a moment, he just thought she was an ordinary woman, "that Jiang Ziya and I are fellow teachers who practiced together under Yuanshi Tianzun's sect. Brother, he doesn't recognize each other, and his tone, can you bear it?" After a few words, he didn't hear Yao Sheng's question. He still didn't want to finish it, and turned his head to ask Wu Huan: "I said, brother, if it's you, can you please?" Can you bear it?" Yao Sheng's face was slightly sullen, but he couldn't do anything about the entangled Taoist for a while.Wu Huan had seen such people in the market, so he smiled and made a cup of tea for Shen Gongbao. "Yes, yes, Jiang Ziya is really ruthless. How could his brothers and sisters do this for decades? Come, please drink tea." Shen Gongbao was so happy that he picked up his teacup and drank it down in one gulp. "You are really famous, kid!" He kept nodding: "The list of the gods! Jiang Ziya got it from somewhere, and he wanted to go to Xiqi to confer the gods and defeat King Zhou!" "List?" Yao Sheng also showed a curious expression when he heard the words, and looked at Wu Huan.She was there when Wuhuan talked to Jiang Ziya that day, but Jiang Ziya said at that time that he didn't know what was in the "Decree of the Gods". "I caught up with him in front of Qilin Cliff in Kunlun Mountains, so I called him! 'Brother Jiang, Brother Jiang'," Shen Gongbao imitated the tone at that time, and shouted: "And you know what? I turned a deaf ear to it, and let me scream my throat, but I didn't look back. I just want to fight for a breath, but this time, I want to catch up with him. Once I catch up, I will hold him, I said, "Brother Jiang, I am Shen Gongbao, your junior brother! I have been studying in the same discipline for decades, don't you recognize my voice?" Shen Gongbao said angrily, "You know what he said?" "How to say?" "He actually said, 'I didn't know you called me, but someone told me that when I was on this mountain, no matter who called me behind me, I must not turn back, so I didn't answer you.' I said Say it! 'I don't want to argue with you about this, but what is that in your hand?', I knew it was the list of gods, but I came to ask him on purpose. Sure enough, the old thief rolled his eyes and said that it was just An ordinary piece of yellow paper. I just couldn't get angry, so I yelled at him: "You are a senior brother, and you have come to deceive me. It is obvious that you are going to help Xiqi's list of gods!"" Wu Huan was amused by what he heard, and couldn't help but ask, "Then what did he say?" "He denied it desperately again, saying that he didn't know what a god list is, and what he was holding was indeed an ordinary yellow paper. I forced him to swear a heavy oath, or burn the paper for me to see, hehehe , the old thief saw that he couldn't speak up for my righteousness, so he proposed to have a bet with me." "So you bet with him?" "Just bet, I, Shen Gongbao, am I afraid of who is coming?" Shen Gongbao opened his eyes and said proudly: "Li is on my side, who is afraid of who is coming?" The old thief said, "I am senior brother, bet." It’s unfair that my moves are good, why not bet on yours!’” Wu Huan listened, and suddenly thought of something. "Then you bet with him?" He laughed and said, "Bet him with your trick of getting away from your head?" "Bijibi, am I afraid of him?" Shen Gongbao said with emotion: "My master has dozens of disciples, and I am the best at practicing the technique of leaving the head. Because it is not as deep as mine, we will compare!" "Who wins?" After hearing Wu Huan's decisive question, Shen Gongbao immediately became frustrated. However, he straightened his chest out again. "I didn't lose!" He said proudly, "It was Jiang Ziya's trick that made me lose!" "What kind of trick did he use?" Wu Huan asked curiously, "Can he fool a capable person like you?" Shen Gongbao was happy again when he heard Wu Huan's high hat. "I will bet against Jiang Ziya on the technique of leaving the head, betting that whoever can leave the head for a longer time can get the list of gods. Let me tell you, I don't care about those things! I just can't get angry with Jiang Ziya's arrogance. But if I get a military advisor in Xiqi, I will be so arrogant, if I, Shen Gongbao, are willing, needless to say Xiqi, even the emperor will treat me like a guest... What did I say just now?" "The Taoist priest just talked about the technique of betting against Jiang Ziya." "Yes, yes, then I cast a spell to separate the head. In order to convince Jiang Ziya, I also performed the technique of flying the head. As soon as the head is separated from the body, it flies to the sky like a bird. How beautiful it is It's so pretty, wait until it's 1:30, and then drive it back, so Jiang Ziya will be convinced? Who knows..." He gritted his teeth and said, "Who knew that the traitor actually used a vicious trick! " "What kind of trick?" "The thief didn't know what method he used, but he actually got a crane to take my head off in the sky, so that my head couldn't go back." Wu Huan was stunned, and couldn't help asking: "Then what do you do?" "Fortunately, I am blessed with a great life, and this life should not be terminated. That day, a ferocious goshawk suddenly appeared in the sky. The crane was startled and let go, which made my head turn away. Finally Returning to the side before 1:35 is really dangerous, very dangerous." After hearing this amazing and funny scene, Wu Huan suddenly found it very interesting, so she couldn't help laughing out. But Shen Gongbao was not angry, but heaved a long sigh. "After I came back, I found out that Jiang Ziya had quietly fled. It turned out that he never wanted to compete with me. He said that he wanted to fight me, and even wanted to kill me. Just imagine, if it were you, would you be angry?" Speaking of the agitation, he couldn't help knocking on the table: "Therefore, I swear that I must stop Jiang Ziya from assisting Xiqi, and I must let him become a god. Going to assist Chengtang, tell me, is this good?" Wu Huan just smiled wryly and didn't have an answer. Yao Sheng listened silently at the side, and at this moment, he opened his mouth to ask a question, and the question was about the list of gods, as if it was an extremely important key. "The list of gods..." she asked, "Where did Jiang Ziya get it?" "I don't know either," Shen Gongbao said, "Jiang Ziya told people that it was given to him by 'God', but there is no 'God' in Kunlun except monks! However, I do know that he went there before he got the list of gods." Tongtian Cliff, and later went to Qilin Cliff." After thinking for a while, he seemed to remember something, and slapped the table: "Also, I also know that he has been to 'Nandou Tianchi'!" As soon as these words came out, Yao Sheng couldn't help being shocked. "'Nandou Tianchi'?" She lost her voice: "What is that place?" "Nandou Tianchi is a very deep and dark place in the back mountain. We monks usually don't go there," Shen Gongbao frowned and said, "Yes! What does Jiang Ziya, that old thief, go to such a place?" He pondered for a while, but then Said: "But you don't have to worry too much, there are no cultivators in the 'Nandou Tianchi', and it is impossible for him to get something like the 'Fengshen List' from there." While talking, Shen Gongbao suddenly slapped the table again and stood up. "Okay! You weirdos!" He himself was extremely weird, but he also called other weirdos, "If you want to trap me, you have already done it. If you don't leave now, let's wait until later. See you later." Although this person is entangled, he is not out of his mind. Yao Sheng nodded secretly when he said such words at this moment. He patted the robe sleeves on his body, and squinted at Wuhuan as he patted: "Little brother, I think you are also an outstanding person, can you promise Shen Gongbao?" Wu Huan was stunned, rolled his eyes, and then smiled wryly: "Teacher, please tell me what's going on first?" Shen Gongbao laughed. "I just see that you are so talented. One day, that evil Jiang Ziya will definitely come and ask you to work for him," he said solemnly, "I only hope that by then, you will never agree to him!" I didn't expect such a thing. Although Wu Huan didn't intend to serve any camp, but she suddenly mentioned it, but she didn't know how to answer it. "Don't forget," Shen Gongbao didn't say much anymore, turned around, and walked away lightly. "Don't help that bastard Jiang Ziya." He laughed loudly without looking back, "As for me, I'm going to go down the mountain to help Chengtang Tianxia and turn against Jiang Ziya!" Wu Huan could not help crying or laughing as he watched the figure of this strange man gradually go away, and when he turned around the mountainside, he could still hear his loud cries faintly coming from the wind. The shout was actually: "Jiang Ziya! You bastard!" Wu Huan shook his head with a smile, but saw Yao Sheng sitting on the chair, as if he was thinking about some difficult problem. Wu Huan didn't bother her either, just sat aside, quietly watching the mountain mist spit out silently. After a while, Yao Sheng said slowly: "In my opinion, there is a very big problem with this 'Fengshen Bang'." "What's the problem?" Wu Huan wondered. "I can't say it, I just have this feeling," Yao Sheng said, "This feeling was called the sixth sense in our 14th century era, and we already knew at that time that this intuition is sometimes not groundless, it is It is likely to be something accumulated by your experience and wisdom." When it comes to things in the 24th century, Wuhuan always has some blind spots. Some words and vocabulary are hard to understand their meanings, like Yao Sheng's "sixth sense". What is that, I only know a little bit, it is something similar to "on a whim". But Yao Sheng didn't pay much attention to his opinion, many times, she just murmured something for herself. For example, now. "Nandou...why is the place name here related to Nandou?" She murmured, "But at that time, this was the place where he went in and out, so..."
