The place where Lien Daozhen and I are, from one mountain wall to another, spans tens of miles away. At such a long distance, one can imagine how terrible the deep pit below is. Just looking at it, I felt that my soul was about to be sucked down. The deep darkness is more frightening than the shadow of the candle dragon.
Above the huge bottomless pothole, about a few kilometers from my location, it was a giant that shocked even Daozhen.
It was there, circle after circle. Each body is hundreds of meters high, layered on top of each other, resembling a huge mountain of thousands or even tens of thousands of meters high. And that place, where the eyes can see, it is at least tens of miles long.
Looking up at each other, that kind of full oppression makes people feel that a big mountain will be pressed down at any time. I only looked at it for two seconds, and felt that my body was about to be crushed, so I quickly lowered my head and stopped looking.
Lian Dao is really much better than me. He looked up at the sky and let out an awe-inspiring voice: "As the legend says, it is connected end to end for thousands of miles! Such a giant beast is considered a god!"
It was obvious that the candle dragon was in front, but I couldn't watch it carefully, which made me a little annoyed, so I said: "What is the god or not, is it still being pressed here and immobile."
"Don't talk nonsense!" Lian Daozhen's tone sank, and said: "While the candle dragon is swallowing, it is the arrival of winter and summer. Even if it is crushed under the mountain, it is not a god we can blaspheme!"
Knowing that I had said something wrong, I looked up again. It is so huge that it is impossible to imagine what a giant dragon that is thousands of miles long would look like without seeing it in person. It seems so pale and feeble to describe it in any language.
However, every time you look at it, you can feel more and more the mighty power hidden in that huge body.
Insignificance, weakness, these derogatory words, can be used at this time. Because what is in front of you is a god in mythology.
I can't see its head or even its tail. The only thing I can see clearly is the scales stacked on top of each other, the size of a tall building. The scales were still bright in the dark, but they couldn't tell what color they were. It looks white, but in reality it is blue and purple, very hazy.
I can see clearly, but I feel as if I'm looking at a cloud of mist. This extremely contradictory feeling makes people turbulent, almost vomiting blood.
Normal people will be crushed by terrible pressure even if they are close to the body of the candle dragon. I can't imagine how Zheng Qiuyuan took away the Soul of the Candle Dragon. This is simply not something human can do.
At this time, Lien Daozhen once again let out a suspicion, and said, "There are ropes in the sky."
I looked up, but couldn't see anything, so I lowered my head and asked, "What rope?"
Lian Dao really took a closer look and said, "Almost equal to the candle dragon. It seems that someone had planned to approach it, or had already contacted it."
"Zheng Qiuyuan?" The only thing I can think of is this name.
"It's possible, but if you want to get your soul, you don't have to get close to the body of the candle dragon." Lien Daozhen said: "Those ropes should be used by other people. They look very unusual, like some kind of metal." Lien Daozhen said.
"It may be steel wire, or alloy rope or something." I said.
"Zheng Qiuyuan only took away the Candle Dragon Soul, why is this?" Lian Daozhen asked suddenly.
"Such a big dragon, he can't take it away if he wants to take it away. On the contrary, its soul is invisible and easy to carry." I said naturally.
Although Lien Daozhen didn't think so, but from the current point of view, there was no other answer except for this reason.
I looked at the candle dragon curiously and asked, "Why did you say that the candle dragon floats in the air? It is so big and it must be so scary. If there is a soul, it can be explained, but its soul has been taken away, why hasn’t it been? drop down?"
"The things in mythology are very reasonable and can be explained." Lian Daozhen said.
I curled my lips and said, "Isn't it said that the candle dragon was crushed under the mountain, it is so big, what mountain can hold it?"
Lian Daozhen shook his head and said, "Many sacred mountains recorded in ancient books have an average radius of over a thousand miles and are more than ten thousand miles tall. Such a big mountain is enough to hold down the candle dragon."
I knew that there was no chance of winning in arguing with Lian Daozhen, so I looked at the deep pit below and asked, "You said, where is the road leading down here? Could it be the fabled underworld?"
There was no wind in the middle of the mountain, and naturally there was no terrible whistling sound, but whenever I looked down the pit, I couldn't help but make up for the sound. Going back and forth, but it scared me horribly.
Even Dao really didn't know what was under the pit, but he was sure that it was definitely not the underworld. According to him, if the underside were the underworld, countless ghosts would have climbed up to destroy the Peach Blossom Spring, and it would be our turn to explore.
We have been observing for a long time, although the huge body of the candle dragon is shocking, but there are more to see, so I don't care. Even Daozhen said that the sacred mountain in the ancient books is tens of thousands of meters high, and it can definitely be used to crush the candle dragon. So I imagined a majestic mountain tens of thousands of meters high on top of the candle dragon. I thought it was too science fiction, but then I thought about it, thinking that if the mountain suddenly fell, wouldn't the earth be smashed into a hole
Maybe, the deep pit below was caused by the falling of the mountain.
People get scared when I think too much, and I have to force myself to divert my attention. At this moment, Lian Dao really looked at the light in the distance and meditated, and I asked him, "Are you thinking, where do those entrances lead?"
Lian Dao really didn't deny it, but he thought something different from mine, saying: "I don't know whether those entrances are good or bad. If something strange comes out of there, isn't it possible to enter Taohuayuan at any time?"
I almost didn't mention it in one breath, and said: "You are too unreasonable... Peach Blossom Spring has existed for thousands of years. If there are any monsters at those entrances, it should have been crawled over and eat Peach Blossom Spring from wheat to people."
Lian Daozhen stretched his brows, as if he was relieved. He turned his head to look at me, smiled and said, "If you care, you don't think it clearly."
I snorted and said, "Don't even think about going to those entrances to check again. I always find this deep pit very weird. We'd better go quickly."
Even Daojin thinks so. Like me, he feels the smell of danger in the pit. The two of us didn't hesitate too much, we just looked at the candle dragon, such a behemoth behemoth, if you want to see it in the future, you may not have a chance.
After that, we walked down the stairs. Along the way, I joked: "Let’s go up and go to a strange place that doesn’t know how high. I hope that when we go down, don’t walk for a long time and find that we have gone to a place we don’t know.
Lian Daozhen glanced at me and said with a smile, "Don't want a crow's mouth, there is no such strange thing as you said."
"Isn't it weird!" I said: "Our current height is almost the same as the mountain wall around Taohuayuan, obviously we have entered another world."
"That's just weird, and we can't call it weird." Lian Dao really corrected it seriously.
I rolled my eyes and said, "You are a Virgo..."
Lian Dao really gave me a stern look and said, "Boy with no full hair, don't talk nonsense, I'm a serious man, how could it be that? What made it!"
I was stunned for a moment, and then I realized that he would be wrong, and he burst into laughter right now. Regardless of how Tao really seems to know everything, in fact, all he knows are things that he needs to know. It is estimated that he is not much better than kindergarten with his pastime knowledge like astrology.
We talked about something like this all the way, and gradually went down the stairs. I don't like being too dull, so I always ask him about things from his childhood, such as if he ever caught a bird, climbed a tree, or stole a little sister next door. Lian Dao was really annoyed by my question, so he snorted and stopped talking.
I was wondering whether to ask him if he was once dressed as a little girl, but he grabbed his arm. The strength was so great that I couldn't help but shout out, but listened to him in a deep voice: "Look at your feet!"
These words were almost the same as when I was ascending the last step before, and I couldn't help but stunned. I looked down and was stunned.
A layer of water appeared on the stairs under our feet. The water is dark and looks dirty, but I know very well that it's black is not dirty, just because it comes from the red water in the crevice!
"It's impossible!" I shouted in surprise: "How come there is Chishui here!" (End of this chapter)
