The sky is blue, the lake is blue, the clouds are white, and the snow on the mountain is white.
The ancients said that where the heart is at peace is my hometown, and the entire Kunlun Mountains is a place where people feel at peace.
Otokogawa walked for many days in the snowy mountains, without a purpose or direction, walking, looking, listening, and feeling by instinct...
Tao follows nature. It sounds simple, but it is difficult to do it.
Even though Xiao Yi's brain development has reached level 4, it is still of no substantial help for this kind of talent perception that relies entirely on understanding.
It is impossible to increase your strength by just walking around and traveling to famous mountains and rivers.
The wind was biting cold and the mountains were covered with snow.
Feng Xu’s flying is not true flying, but it is a way to make one’s body light and can leap over mountains and rivers.
Suddenly, Xiao Yi stopped.
In a valley, colors other than white appeared.
With such heavy snow and such a high altitude, there were actually buildings exposed outside the snow.
In this situation, he was naturally surprised to see the building, which was more exciting than encountering an awakened beast, so he glided over quickly.
This turned out to be a Taoist temple. It was not grand, and was not adorned with pearls or beautiful jades. It was built entirely of ordinary stones. It was plain and simple, but it gave people a feeling of the boundless Taoism.
This stone Taoist temple is not simple.
This was Xiao Yi’s first reaction.
Who knows how many years have passed, but the Taoist temple built of stones has not collapsed and is still standing upright.
"How could there be such a stone Taoist temple deep in Kunlun Mountain?"
Xiao Yi took a step, but did not go in directly. Instead, he walked around it several times. Seeing that there was nothing unusual, he walked into the ancient temple without a door. He looked around and his expression froze.
The stone pavilion had obviously been abandoned for a long time. In the middle stood a stone man with a Taoist bun and wearing a Taoist robe. The wooden buildings around it had turned to dust and had long since disappeared.
This was not surprising. What surprised Xiao Yi was the words on the wall, a strange font, a bit like the large seal script from the pre-Qin period, but also different.
"Let me see what's written..."
With great excitement, Xiao Yi carefully looked at these ancient texts and asked the system to translate them.
Pre-Qin refers to the historical period before the Qin Dynasty in China, starting from the period when ancient humans emerged and ending in 221 BC when Qin Shihuang conquered the six kingdoms.
Inside the Taoist temple, on the mottled ancient walls, there are lines of large seal characters engraved, which are vigorous, majestic and beautiful, with a well-detailed arrangement of lines and a solemn atmosphere.
Xiao Yi looked very focused as he carefully identified the characters. There were a total of 365 ancient characters. The strokes were powerful, the shapes were thin and slender, and they looked as if they had life.
The system appraisal is completed. This is not a Taoism, nor a scripture, but an insight.
The general meaning is "Thoughts after viewing Kunlun Mountain"!
Slightly disappointed.
It’s just a review.
As night fell, the cold was biting and an ordinary person would have been frozen to death.
Yi Xiaochuan looked up at the starry sky, thinking that perhaps he didn’t know how many years ago, there was also a person who walked through the Kunlun Mountains and came here on the same night, writing down his feelings.
I should leave something behind too.
Has Otoshigawa been here
It's so tasteless!
"Leave the Purification Mantra for the right person!"
Using his finger as a pen, he began to write: "I wash my body with the sun, refine my form with the moon, the immortals help me up, the fairies accompany me..."
"Rustle..."
At first it was fine and every word was clear, but soon after, the stone wall seemed to be falling down like dust, breaking off into large pieces.
Is it because it is too old, or is there some other reason
Yi Xiaochuan had an idea and lightly scratched it with his finger. Stone chips flew everywhere and the stone carving completely disappeared, leaving behind a thick layer of stone.
With a slight sound, a dull metal box appeared in the rotten stone wall, dull and ordinary.
"Did you dig up the treasure?"
Yi Xiaochuan looked around, with all six senses open, and heard nothing except the sound of the wind, nor did he sense any dangerous murderous aura.
They quickly cut open the wall and took out the metal box. It was in the shape of a long strip, made of bronze, more than three feet long and as wide as a palm, and it was tightly sealed and very solid.
The bronze metal box was heavy and gave off a slight chill. There was a kind of spiritual energy contained in it that sealed the things in the box.
Yi Xiaochuan understood instantly that the wall was originally sealed, but due to its age, the divine power leaked out and a lot of stone chips fell off, exposing the bronze metal box.
At this time, her chest trembled slightly and Princess Tushan woke up.
"I sense something very familiar..." Jiuer's voice was as pleasant as ever, just like a silver bell.
"This was found in the Taoist temple. Do you know what's inside?"
"I don't know, but it feels very familiar. It seems to be something from the Third Age. Open it and take a look..."
"I just tried it, and it seems to be sealed."
"Use your energy..."
There was light flickering between Yi Xiaochuan's fingers, which kept hitting the long metal box. After a long time, the bronze box lid was opened. There was no shining precious light, no auspicious color, and not even a trace of spiritual fluctuation.
Inside the metal box, there is a piece of wood. To put it nicely, it is very rustic, but to put it bluntly, it is just a rotten piece of wood.
"It's... Jianmu!" Tushan Jiuer said with certainty at the chest.
Jianmu is a sacred tree worshipped by ancient people.
Legend has it that Jianmu is a bridge connecting heaven, earth, humans and gods.
Fuxi, Huangdi and other emperors traveled between the human world and heaven through this sacred tree.
The bronze sacred tree unearthed in Sanxingdui in Guanghan has branches, leaves, flowers, fruits, birds, beasts, hanging dragons, sacred bells, etc. The prototype of this sacred tree is Jianmu.
Otokogawa asked very practically, "What is the function?"
If you take the wood out, there is nothing magical about it. Even if you throw it on the ground, you will definitely think it is just a piece of rotten wood.
"Jianmu has no other uses. It has only one ability, which is to connect the two worlds. It is the main material for building the immortal gate between the two worlds."
"Hmm?" Yi Xiaochuan's hand holding the piece of wood froze, and he asked, "You mean, there is a world behind this piece of wood? Is this a door to time and space that can be traveled through? But it's not a door!"
“Who says a door has to be a door?”
"The door is not shaped like a door? I am obsessed..." Xiao Yi immediately rubbed his hands and said, "Since it is something from the Third Age, does it mean that the world behind this Jianmu is a world of immortals? It seems a bit difficult for me to play and digest the role of a Taoist priest on Earth!"
"I don't know! Why don't you give it a try!"
A pure white furry fox tail stretched out from the chest and touched the rotten wood. In an instant, Xiao Yi felt a huge suction force emerging from the Jianmu in his hand.
biu!
In the stone Taoist temple, Yi Xiaochuan and the rotten wood disappeared, only the copper and iron box fell to the ground with a "clang", making a loud noise.
Outside the Stone Taoist Temple, the sound of the wind became increasingly shrill.
And at some point, a stone statue sitting cross-legged in the middle of the Taoist temple seemed to open its eyes...
Staring at the wind and snow with indifference.
