Entering the city, most of the buildings have turned off the lights. The nightlife in Xianwu Continent is far less rich than on Earth. Basically, people are either resting or practicing at night, and few people go out for entertainment.
He did not stop and continued to rush to the core city of the Western Zhou Kingdom. Shanguan Zhaorong mentioned that people in the Western Zhou Kingdom used the Tianwen Stone as a sacred object. If there were any, there were only two places, one was the temple or something like that. place, and the other is the palace.
Both of these places should be in the core city.
Not long after Jiang Xiu had traveled, he felt something calling him again. It was that feeling again, and it became very strong, causing his heart to beat faster.
Whoosh!
He flew over the Western Zhou Kingdom. The large continent was not small, but it was not big in the eyes of a god. Jiang Xiu's current speed would take less than a minute to circle the earth.
"Um?"
There was a high mountain in front of him, and that strong call came from the direction of the mountain. "Is it because of this mountain? Is there a Tianwen Rune Stone under the mountain?"
Jiang Xiu also thought that the feeling of summoning would come from his bloodline, but this is the Western Zhou Kingdom, and his bloodline has no direct connection with this place. On the contrary, his natal artifact has a direct connection with this place. Therefore, he guessed that this feeling comes from The natal artifact.
If the Tianwen Stone Talisman was issued and scattered in the mountains, it would take time to find it. Normally, he would have enough patience, but now he is being chased by the Reincarnation Hall and has no time at all.
When he approached the mountain, he was stunned on the spot. His mind was buzzing and his eyes almost popped out of his eyes. He was full of disbelief. There was a huge statue erected on the mountain in front of him. It was a The statue of the woman is exactly the same as the statue of the goddess in the ancient desert city on Earth, that is, Xie Ting.
"how so?"
Jiang Xiu couldn't imagine it. He originally thought that when Bu Zhou Shen fell, a certain part of the rubble fell into space and fell into Xie Ting's world after countless years, and then became related to the earth, and that's how it came to be. Things, but now it seems that this is not the case at all.
If this were the case, the portrait of the saint from the ancient desert city would not appear in the Western Zhou Kingdom in the Xianwu Continent.
"What's the matter?"
It’s really unbelievable how the Western Zhou Kingdom and the earth could be so far apart and even on completely different planes.
Judging from the fact that the statue of Xie Ting, a saint of the Western Zhou Dynasty, was built on this mountain, she was also regarded as a deity and her status must be respected.
He still remembered that the saint's supporter, Xie Ting, was burned at the stake by the Ji family. At that time, the saint's choice was to let another world come rather than give up. Then, her shadow condensed in the shape of a cloud in the sky. He lingered for a long time, seeming to stare at the heaven and earth.
Jiang Xiu flew towards the statue. Only when she landed on the ground did she see how tall the stone statue was. It was carved into the mountain. Under her feet were a series of palace buildings.
"Why did you come to the Holy Mountain late at night?"
An old man was cleaning the fallen leaves on the steps step by step with a broom.
"Can I go in?"
Jiang Xiu asked as he didn't expect to meet anyone again.
"You can get in, but no one has arranged it, so you can't worship God."
Jiang Xiu said: "I was passing by here, so I went in to take a look. Whether I worship God or not is secondary."
The old man stepped aside and said, "Then go in and speak softly. Everyone inside is asleep. It's not good to wake them up." Judging from the old man's attitude, it seemed like an ordinary temple. There is nothing valuable, otherwise it would not be so open to let a person passing by just go in.
Jiang Xiu walked a few steps, stopped and looked at the old man sweeping the floor. He was a little strange. This old man had some magic power. Logically speaking, he didn't need to use such a clumsy method to clean the stairs. A gust of wind would do it. , asked in confusion: "Old man, why do you have to clean so hard."
The old man said: "Sweeping the floor is just sweeping the floor. There is no effort or effort."
Jiang Xiu smiled, but slowly he felt that his words were quite Zen-like, but he did not chat with him in detail. He walked inside. The doors everywhere were open and it was very empty. , also very lonely.
On both sides of the road along the way, there are pieces of Wentian stone talismans written with strange runes. They are all imitations and not real Wentian stones. They should have been left behind by the faithful men and women who came here to make their wishes.
After going around a circle, he didn't see the main hall. Now Jiang Xiu was surprised and had to turn back: "Old man, where is the main hall?"
The old man stopped and said, "There is no main hall. Everyone who wants to worship has to worship the mountain."
"oh!"
Jiang Xiu finally understood why the old man let him in so easily.
"If you want to worship God, go to the mountain to find a stone, then go to Tianwen Hall and write down a rune in the scriptures. Then write the rune you still remember on the stone and place it somewhere on the mountain to worship. But don’t put the stone in the middle, otherwise I will have to move the stone with my old bones. Besides, it won’t work if I move it.”
Jiang Xiu nodded again and turned to ask: "I am from another place, dare I ask where God comes from?"
This is a taboo question, and it is blasphemous to ask God’s source. But the old man didn't seem to be shy and said, "Our god is a descendant of Buzhou God."
"According to legend, a long time ago, one day there was an earthquake, the sky collapsed, and the sea water poured in. Even though Bu Zhou Shen struggled to hold on, he couldn't bear it, and finally collapsed from exhaustion. The whole world was submerged in the ocean, and the tsunamis continued. It swept across the world and almost submerged the whole world."
"But at this time, the world was suddenly surprised to find that no matter how high the sea water rose, it could not submerge the statue of the god on this mountain. After struggling to no avail, the sea water finally receded unwillingly, and humans were able to survive."
Jiang Xiu's thoughts seemed to return to that vast ancient world, where everything was barren and human beings were still very weak. Everything depended on the gods. Life was difficult and food was scarce.
"Descendant of Buzhou God!"
The old man said: "Yes, God protects us, and it is the same now. No matter how severe the tsunami occurs, Buzhou will never be submerged by the sea, and this mountain and the statues on it will never be submerged."
All the land back then has sunk, and only this piece of land still exists in the middle of the sea.
Jiang Xiu was very surprised when he heard it. His description was just like the people on earth's understanding of the temple, rather than a divine cultivator. It gave Jiang Xiu the feeling that it was a real temple.
"Besides this?"
The old man smiled and said, "Young man, don't be so greedy. It's good enough if the weather is smooth. Don't imagine that God can give you everything."
Jiang Xiu smiled, he didn't need God to give him everything, because he was God and knew what God was like, but this goddess was a little strange.
"Is there a Tianwenshi here?"
The old man pointed to the side and said, "These are all."
Jiang Xiu said: "I mean the real Tianwen Stone, which you enshrine as a holy object..."
The old man shook his head and said, "This is our sacred object."
Jiang Xiu was helpless. The old man probably didn't know that Tianwen Stone was a part of Bu Zhou's body. Although Bu Zhou was huge, it was also limited. After so many years, I'm afraid there's nothing left. Judging from the old man's words and deeds, There may not be a real Tianwen Stone in the palace.
But suddenly, Jiang Xiu's eyes narrowed and he thought of something. He couldn't help but look up at the goddess statue in the distant mountains. Just now the old man said that after the death of Buzhou God, the goddess appeared here. Isn't that the largest piece of sky? Ask Shi
Thinking of this, Jiang Xiu's heart skipped a beat.
"Old man, how do you get up to the goddess statue?"
He could fly up directly, but he didn't want to arouse the old man's ism, so he asked.
"Then, keep going up this staircase. Remember, if you want to worship God, you must first copy the Tianwen Sutra, then go find a stone and write down what you remember, and then..."
Jiang Xiu nodded and after hearing what he said, he started to walk up the stairs. His steps were very fast. Although there were thousands of stairs, he was only under his feet in an instant. .
The next moment, he stood in front of the statue of the goddess.
