Chapter 10 10. Taihang begins to kill
The heavy rain seems to have cut off time, making it difficult to distinguish the stars and the moon.
The sky and the earth are gray.
Gu Yan clenched his fists and dug his nails into his palms.
"When a person dies, it's like a lamp going out. Please give me your condolences." The host, wearing a golden and red cassock, chanted the Buddha's name in a low voice.
"Thank you, Master Tonghui." The old man in white beside him said goodbye, his eyes were calm, showing no emotion or anger.
But the man's face was so gloomy that it could be compared with the weather at this time.
The abbot of the ancient temple had a good relationship with the old man when he was young, and left an ever-burning lamp in the temple with the mysterious Buddhist teachings. The lamp reflected Gu Chuchu's age. His grandfather took him to Mount Wutai in search of this opportunity.
Gu Chuchu died in the Taihang Mountains.
He couldn't accept it, as if he had pushed the girl into hell with his own hands.
"Master, why don't you take the monks away in such a weather?" the old man asked.
"What kind of weather is it like? Where can we go if we leave?" The host smiled, with long white eyebrows and arched eyebrows, kind and kind.
The old man also laughed.
"In this way, Gu took leave."
"Good."
The old man patted Gu Yan on the shoulder and stepped out of the gate of the Buddhist temple.
"The mountain rain contains that person's spirit. Leave as soon as possible to avoid delusions and keep safe." In the ancient temple behind him, the voice of the host seemed to come from a very far away place.
After the old man paused, a loud voice came.
"Although this place is nice, you don't have to stay long. Master, you can leave and you can easily pick up everything when you return soon."
"That's it, no more words!" The old man waved his hand without looking back.
"Amitabha, good, good..."
…………
In recent days, there have been more and more intruders.
They wantonly destroyed the mountains and forests, shot and killed people, and plundered all living things they could see.
A familiar old tree with a big snake entrenched in it.
Li Xian was rarely tired.
It buried the greedy and evil ones in this land. The ancient sword was still stuck in the ground, but there were blood stains that could not be removed. There are too many of them, and some of them are not necessarily rising beings. They can also break through the confusion of mountain rain with some kind of ancient weapon. There are not no rising beings, and there is even a powerful and terrifying one among them, the old man who came to the temple a few days ago.
He didn't come for the spiritual things in the mountains, but for it.
The fierce battle between the old man and the red snake lasted for a long time, and he was finally killed by the ancient sword. The aura-rich blood on the sword came from the old man.
He said that because he was the elder of the Gu family, he had to take care of the whole family. Once he has settled everything in his family, he can act as an elder and avenge his descendants. He had made adequate preparations, and there was nothing to complain about if he failed.
"After me, no one in the Gu family knows Gu Chuchu, and no one knows my name. Everything ends with me. If you are unwilling and still haven't calmed down your anger, and think what our Gu family has done is deeply offensive, you can go I won't complain at all if my bloodline is cut off." The old man closed his blood-stained eyes.
"Finally, I salute you as the mountain god. If you can still listen to my advice, leave here as soon as possible. This is a land of right and wrong, and you can't defend it."
The golden candle flame flickered on and off, and Li Xi'an exhaled deeply.
In the rain are its spirits. These spirits are not inexhaustible. Even with the help of the mountains, maintaining the rain curtain is becoming increasingly difficult.
Knowing that they can't get out of this mountain, they still come one after another, spending a huge amount of manpower, material and energy. They are so crazy. What are the people behind them doing? The old man's dying advice formed a haze in his heart. Taihang was a land of right and wrong, and it couldn't hold it. Why did the old man think it couldn't hold it?
Li Xi'an pondered. The Gu family in the imperial capital left here without a trace, but there were more and more people there. It even felt a blue luan rising from the outside world and swooping into the depths of the mountain to lie dormant. It seemed that there was something in this mountain that made the outside world crazy. People wanted to come in, but some people advised it to leave. It was very crazy.
It's okay, it will know soon.
The huge red creature lowered its head. After about a few breaths, a blue thunder light swept across the small island in the lake.
The huge claws pressed against the dirt, and a giant red and black tiger stepped out of it.
"I brought the person you wanted."
Qing Yan looked around at the dozens of cold ancient swords stuck on the island, especially when there were still blood stains on some of them, his eyes became even more fearful. It threw the person in its mouth under the old camphor tree of Li Xi'an.
"He was reluctant. In order to calm him down, I broke both of his legs." Qing Yan licked the hair on his arms and smoothed out the long hair. Cats don't like rain, and the feeling of wet fur makes them uncomfortable. This fact has not changed even if it rises.
The man who was thrown down lay with his head stuck in the mud, looking miserable. When had his rise to power been treated like this? He immediately roared angrily: "Demon tiger, if you let me go, I can still save your life when the mountains are cleared! Otherwise, I will kill you and make it into tiger skin, and your hard work will be wasted!"
The ferocious light in Qingyan's eyes was strong, and thunder surged among his minions.
At this time, the man heard a sound coming from above the old tree. It was very high and far away, as if it came from the sky.
"Clean the mountains?" The thing spoke, like a drum beating on the man's heart.
He felt a mountain of pressure falling from the sky, crushing his spine and pressing his whole body into the mud. He suddenly heard something that the elders in the clan had asked him to pay attention to. The "snake" deep in the mountains was named the mountain god. The rising genius of the Gu family was ruined by it before. He thought he was far behind Gu Chuchu, and even What space does Gu Chuchu have to deal with something that he can't resist?
The red giant is looming among the old branches and leaves.
Just now he was pressed into the mud, and now his head was lifted up by an inexplicable force.
The huge snake's head hangs down, its ferocious bony protrusions make it look like it is wearing a mask, and golden flames are burning in its eye sockets.
Qingyan was stunned for a moment. He noticed that Nanzhu's head had undergone slight changes. Bone spurs were extending from the back of the snake's head. It was very subtle, but it was definitely there. It puts its doubts back in its heart. There is nothing wrong with this. Nanzhu's strength is good for the creatures in this mountain. It does not like to fight for it, but will protect the mountain from outside interference.
"I ask, you answer." The big snake said in a low voice.
Under this kind of oppression, the man almost suffocated, and all the defenses in his heart were broken, leaving him unable to resist.
"Why clear the mountains?"
The man's face was dull, and he spoke slowly, "The clan elders sent soldiers across the river to test the mountains, and use the spirits obtained to determine whether they are resurrected ancient mountains. If confirmed, they will clear the mountains. The cost of using civilization crystals is high. , so crazy testing is needed. In this environment, human life is the cheapest.”
"How long will you continue to test?"
"It's over."
"Soon there will be an army with heavy firepower to conquer Taihang and liquidate every rising creature here." As the words fell, Qingyan involuntarily contracted his muscles. Although they are powerful, at this level of life they are still unable to compete head-on with the destructive power of modern civilization. .
Humans have been in charge of this world for many years, and the power of civilization is superior to all living things. At the dawn of a new era, they are still unwilling to let go of power and plan to use violence to resist. Their thinking is simple. When existences like Li Xi'an disappear, all the "spirits" in the mountains will naturally fall to them. in hand. This kind of thinking is simple and violent, but it is really effective.
"All the famous mountains and rivers are recovering. It won't be long before the world will completely wake up. The old era will end and the new era will come. Existences like you will be buried together. There will be no way for you in the new era." The man's face was expressionless. He was Li Xi'an's spirit was crushed and he completely confessed his feelings.
The golden flames in the big snake's eyes are blooming.
The man was like a broken machine, twitching repeatedly.
It was useless, Li Xi'an was silent. This man was completely overwhelmed and could no longer say anything.
The huge head retreated back to the old tree, and when viewed from below, only burning golden candles could be seen.
Qingyan didn't understand what the big snake meant.
"What do you want?" it asked. This passage was too scary. There was almost a dead end ahead.
A long sigh sounded from high up, and the metallic roar of the friction of scales could be vaguely heard.
"After all this time, human beings still have not learned to respect nature."
