Walking by the Abyss on Thin Ice

Chapter 347: Tiandong, the imperial court, a foreign land, a stranger

Views:

Yingying rode on Lingxi and jumped back and forth in the spiritual world of Su Yun and Wutong. Su Yun turned a blind eye and activated Huangzhong, which slowly turned and took Wutong away from Mingjing.

He and Wutong spread out their respective spiritual worlds, breathed the air in the spiritual world, and walked towards the basin.

Yingying stopped jumping back and forth, rode Lingxi to the edge of their spiritual world, and sensed it carefully.

The basin is not big, with a radius of only more than ten miles. The ancient palaces are scattered in an orderly manner. The layout is very similar to that of the fairy palace altar. The surrounding palaces guard the central altar, but it is more complicated than the fairy palace altar they saw under the Northern Crown Great Wall.

"A dilapidated building, an ancient altar, an opening of the immortal scroll leading to the immortal world, allowing the mortals who go there to bathe in the moon pool."

Su Yun walked on the thick moon dust and wondered, "So, who built the altar here? And who ordered them to go to the fairyland?"

He looked at Wutong and continued to ask: "What caused them to disappear from the palace on the moon? Where did they go?"

His eyes were sparkling. Since Wutong could understand the words here and called them fairy words, she must know more.

Yingying rode on Lingxi at this time and quietly came to Wutong's spiritual world. Regardless of whether Wutong would answer Su Yun's question or not, the spirit in Wutong's spiritual world would speak his mind, and this was the moment to spy on the secret of this human demon.

It was with this that Yingying was able to find out many secrets of Su Yun, a young man in love.

However, to Yingying's disappointment, Wutong was much more skilled in magic than Su Yun. Even when she came to Wutong's spirit, Wutong did not reveal any of his inner thoughts.

Su Yun looked at Wutong and blinked.

Wutong smiled sweetly: "Will you know if you awaken the spirit guarding this place?"

She took a step forward, and suddenly saw a stone Qilin sculpture surrounding the altar begin to transform from stone into flesh!

The last time Su Yun came here with Yingying, he also saw the stone Qilin's scales begin to revive!

Outside these palaces, there are not only stone Qilin sculptures, but also white elephants, evil-repelling beasts, Pixiu and other sacred animals!

Yingying has a strong sense of spirits and says that the spirits contained in these stone statues are almost as good as dragon spirits and human-demon spirits!

At this moment, Wutong took that step, and saw that the stone Qilin closest to them was rapidly transforming into flesh and blood!

In an instant, the body of the Stone Qilin turned into flesh and blood, only the chest remained petrified and did not turn into flesh and blood.

Suddenly, Yingying, riding on a small white rhino, leaped out of the spiritual world of Su Yun and Wutong and plunged into the spiritual world of the stone Qilin.

The stone Qilin stood up from the stage, panicking and scratching itself, muttering meaningless words, as if trying to drive Yingying out of its body.

Su Yun saw that the way he was grabbing at his body was completely different from that of a Qilin, but rather a bit like a human. He was startled and said, "He is not a real Qilin, but a golden body of a spirit!"

After the death of a powerful spiritualist, his spirit still has obsessions and is reluctant to leave, so he uses the temple to collect faith for himself, forge a golden body, and survive in another form.

Many ancient saints in Yuan Shuo used this method, such as Emperor Wenchang and Master Dongling.

The Emperor Wenchang's golden body was destroyed in the Seventh Family Rebellion and had to be re-refined. However, the owner of Dongling completely cultivated his golden body and became a god, with his soul imprinting the world.

In the western continent of Xitu, the God Emperor also uses similar methods, but he uses this to practice, not to cultivate a golden body to become a god.

The Qilin that is gradually recovering before his eyes is different from the God Emperor, Dongling, and Wenchang.

"The spirit in this Qilin was not in the form of a Qilin when it was alive. It is not a real Qilin, but it uses the name of Qilin to cultivate a golden body in an attempt to achieve the goal of becoming a god!" Su Yun thought to himself.

On the stage, the Qilin had snow-white eyebrows and beard, long eyebrows hanging to the ground, and dim old eyes. Yingying rode a white rhino and kept crashing into his spiritual world. His spiritual world gradually appeared in front of Su Yun and Wutong.

It was a spiritual world in a state of collapse, with broken holes everywhere. An old spiritual being was trembling with a cane as he chased Lingxi, trying to drive Yingying and Lingxi away.

Lingxi leaped up and took Yingying with him out of his spiritual world, disappearing without a trace.

The golden Qilin immediately pulled out its crutch from the spirit world, stood up on its hind legs, looked around with its long eyebrows covering its eyes, and uttered meaningless noises. Su Yun understood a few words of the noise.

Guanghan.

Wutong once told him how to pronounce Guanghan in the fairy text.

The words that came out of the golden Qilin’s mouth included the word “Guanghan”.

The golden Qilin staggered and moved with difficulty, but it still exuded extremely powerful aura!

It's just that he is too old, and he has not truly cultivated a golden body. Although his spirit is extremely strong, it is on the verge of collapse and extinction.

Su Yun could even see that spiritual power was constantly dissipating in his spiritual world!

That was his spiritual nature collapsing and disintegrating, just at a slower pace.

Previously, he also had a tendency to dissipate and disintegrate, but because he was in a petrified state, the speed of dissipation was much slower and difficult to detect. But now that he has awakened, the speed has greatly accelerated, and even Su Yun can sense the collapse of his soul!

"Most of the spirits in Tianshiyuan are not on the verge of collapse and dissipation, which means that the golden body of Qilin has been guarding here for a longer time than the history of Tianshiyuan!"

Su Yun's heart was slightly shaken: "What's more, he is in a petrified state, which prolongs the life of his soul."

Suddenly, Wutong opened his mouth, but what came out of his mouth was not Yuanshuo language, but another obscure and difficult language, which was somewhat similar to the so-called immortal language that Su Yun heard on the Zhulong chariot that day.

Wutong's tone was inquiring. The golden Qilin calmed down, hobbled forward with his crutches, and came to Wutong's side.

He was tall and sturdy, and even with a hunched back he was still about 160 or 170 feet tall. He raised his other paw, pushed aside the eyes covered by his eyebrows and beard, and almost stuck in front of Wutong, looking at her repeatedly with his dim eyes. After a long time, he uttered a line of immortal text.

Su Yun was impatient and asked, "What is he talking about?"

Wutong did not answer, but continued to speak in an obscure language with no clear meaning. The golden Qilin also replied, and the two of them had a conversation with each other through questions and answers.

The golden Qilin became more and more silent and depressed, and its voice became more and more bitter.

At this time, Yingying rode a little white rhino out from nowhere and entered Su Yun's spiritual world. She shook her head and said, "Master Su, most of the other golden bodies can't wake up."

Su Yun walked towards the Guanghan Palace. Under his feet were rubble and broken bricks, collapsed wall corners, and stone statues and pillars pressed under the wall.

"There are ninety-six stone statues here, including the coiled dragon on the Huabiao column, corresponding to the ninety-six gods and demons."

Yingying said quickly: "Just now, Xiaobai and I tried to enter the spirit world of some sleeping spirits. Those spirit worlds were like a world made of sand, collapsing everywhere. There were still spirits in there, but they were not complete. Some had no legs, some had big holes in their bodies, and some had no heads. Their spirits also disappeared like dust and could not wake up. I think they have been completely forgotten by their people."

"Completely forgotten?" Su Yun's heart was suddenly struck by a great sense of desolation.

When the soul is completely forgotten, there is no way to wake up and one can only let oneself drift away slowly. This empty feeling of slowly dying is filled with loneliness and helplessness.

Where have their people gone

Su Yun turned back to look at Wutong, and silently said in his heart: "Wutong, are you one of their people? Where are you from? Why did you have to come to our world? What is your relationship with these golden bodies?"

Wutong was still talking to the old golden statue and didn't look over here.

Su Yun walked in Guanghan Palace and asked, "Yingying, is there no one else here besides the golden body?"

Yingying shook her head: "Xiaobai can enter anyone's spiritual world. If there are other people, Xiaobai will definitely take me there."

The palace was lined with stone statues of all sizes. Some of them were broken, while others seemed to sense the intrusion of strangers and were trying to revive, but they were still unable to turn into flesh and blood.

Su Yun came to the altar and carefully looked at the altar, Guanghan Palace and the layout of these stone statues.

"These golden bodies must have been placed around palaces and altars at some time in prehistoric times. People worshipped and offered sacrifices to them here, and revered them as gods." Su Yun stood on the altar and said silently in his heart.

This altar is actually a huge immortal tablet!

He looked around and whispered, "On the winter solstice, they will open the immortal scrolls and send the chosen people to the immortal world, allowing them to win laurels in the Moon Palace and bathe in the Moon Pool. At that time, the Moon should be very prosperous, right? Was that the era of the robbery monsters?"

Su Yun thought about the language of the Robbery Gray God King, compared it with the language of Wutong and the golden-bodied Qilin, and shook his head.

The Jiehui language and the immortal language spoken by Wutong are actually completely different!

"That is to say, the civilization on this moon may be even older than the time of the Grey Robbers!"

He turned around and looked at Wutong who was still talking to the golden Qilin. What was the purpose of this human demon crossing the starry sky from Arcturus to rush here? It couldn't be just to fight with the real dragon, right

"Mr. Su, Arcturus is called Tiandong, which is the imperial court of the King of Heaven." Yingying sat behind Lingxi's rhino horn and said while holding the horn.

"The Imperial Court of the Heavenly King?"

Su Yun was shocked. He looked at Wutong and murmured, "How could someone who came out of there become a human demon?"

Yingying was also confused. Baixi looked up at the question mark floating above her head, her mind filled with confusion.

At this time, Wutong came over and said, "Junior brother, the golden statue said that tomorrow, they will use their last strength to open the immortal scroll and send us to Guanghan Mountain in the immortal world. However, we must come back before they completely disappear."

"What if I can't come back?" Yingying asked.

Wutong said calmly: "I'm just going to take a shower, I'll be back soon."

Su Yun noticed that when this human demon talked about the disappearance of these golden bodies, her mentality was surprisingly disturbed, as if sadness swept through her heart of Taoism.

——This is a fairy scroll, no, it’s money! It’s love! It’s your love for the human-demon lady!!!
