Chapter 34 34. Kunlun Ancient Road
The light dimmed and night fell.
The huge creature on a mountain peak near Kunlun opened its eyes, and its golden pupils were like the sun rising again.
The red dragon waited until the line of sight from the distant sky completely disappeared and then flew for dozens of miles continuously. Finally, it found a hidden mountain peak to stop, and hung up the heavenly cauldron to cover the air. The petals of the lotus were too terrifying and astonishing, and he could not delve into them for the time being. Even though Li Xi'an had a hunch that this petal had a lot to do with his past or his time beyond other rising creatures.
Can't think of much more than that.
But since the petals can resonate with ancient Kunlun, there must be clues he needs in the sacred mountain range in front of him.
Everything is in Kunlun.
Li Xi'an stared at the star characters gradually lighting up in the sky, and the ancient road to Kunlun spread out in his eyes.
The red dragon slowly snaked its body, its scales rubbing against the mountain.
The rock fragments cut by the iron scales fell into the mountain stream, causing waves and scaring away a few large fish leisurely in the water.
Looking up at the peaks from below, you can see a red shadow passing over the top of the mountain, stretching out a dazzling golden light, like a ghost entrenched in the mountains.
…………
Deep in the vast snow-capped mountains, nine pairs of huge eyes suddenly lit up. The pupils are intense, and ancient scriptures are intertwined into a chain.
The heavy breathing evacuated the air under the deep valley for a moment, and then blew out the strong wind. He stood up, the dark aura thick as ink and burning like fire. However, most of the body is still hidden in the valley and cannot be seen clearly.
"There are creatures that do not belong here entering Kunlun."
One of his heads whispered.
Nine pairs of eyes narrowed and glowed, that was what he was looking for. When the other creatures in the mountains were glanced at by these strange eyes, a chill of horror arose in their hearts, as if they were being stared at by a wild beast, and the next step would be to open its bloody mouth and devour them.
"No trace." Another head said.
"Maybe it's just a little bug, we don't need to worry about it." Several heads argued with each other. Some thought that this creature could tear apart the field and should be taken seriously, while others thought that it was just a coincidence following a corner and there was no threat.
Because they did not find any strange creatures with powerful auras in the mountains.
The middle head remained silent. After a long time, he closed his eyes in silence. The sound of the argument disappeared, and the other heads closed their eyes one after another. When the nine pairs of lantern-like pupils in the darkness were extinguished, this terrifying being with supernatural powers lay down again.
The valley fell into silence again.
The Kunlun peaks are covered with pale snow, and melted ice springs dance in the cracks of the rocks.
The spring water and rocks play music, and the bluebirds are humming.
This is an ancient song, a tune she has sung to this sacred mountain countless times.
The dragon-like creature had a big cauldron hanging on its back. The wind in the mountain lifted his forehead, exposing the pair of golden candle-like eyes to the air, and Augu's stern aura filled the air.
But the girl's singing voice neutralized this majesty.
"How?" Qingniao finished humming the tune, turned slightly sideways from the bronze tripod, and looked at Li Xi'an below.
After being raised in this mysterious cauldron for a whole day, she could manifest in human form. At this moment, the girl in green is sitting on the bronze tripod, feeling the response of Kunlun Mountain. The mountain wind blowing and the spring water hitting the rocks are all signs that this mountain range is glad that she has finally returned home after millions of years.
"I heard Kunlun's response." Li Xi'an raised his eyes.
The golden pupils reflected the luster of the stars in the sky, twinkling one by one, like a river of stars living in his eyes.
"Kunlun, like Taihang, will fully recover."
"I'm going to visit your mountaintop when I have time." The girl suddenly thought of something, "By the way, you don't live in a deep pool or lake, right?"
"On the tree." "The dragon lives in the tree?"
The girl was stunned. She looked at Li Xi'an for a few times and then compared his body size. She couldn't imagine how such a big guy could lie on the tree.
It’s not like it’s a mythical ancient tree that’s about to be resurrected, right?
"Before I became a dragon, I was on a tree. Now I am waiting for my family tree to grow up slowly. It is just an ordinary old camphor tree. It is not as exaggerated as you think."
Li Xi'an explained. After hearing this, Qingniao's expression softened a little. After all, this red dragon possesses the Five Elements Killing Technique and half of the Great Luotian Technique. If it is accompanied by a mythical ancient tree, it is difficult not to think that it is a great supernatural power in Kyushu. The present incarnation of.
In fact, the magical power of this red dragon is already difficult for birds to comprehend.
She served the Queen Mother of the West in ancient times, and it became a habit for her to see the geniuses of the Nine Provinces come and go. After tens of millions of years, a creature like this can still appear in this world where all laws have ceased to exist.
She couldn't help but sigh.
Perhaps their fallen future generations were saved by such creatures one after another.
Li Xi'an didn't know what the girl was thinking, he was concentrating on exploring the way.
Following the guidance of the stars, there will be lighted projected beacons along the way. He was walking across a dry riverbed. The surface of the pebbles is rough and full of traces of wind and sand. This river has been dry for who knows how many years.
"Huh?" Li Xi'an was stunned and stopped.
A touch of yellow sand blown up by the mountain wind.
At this time, the dry riverbed turned into a prosperous ancient road, with people coming and going on the road, vendors shouting on the roadside, and children playing. He looked around, but the Heavenly Cauldron was gone, and the sound of the blue bird disappeared along with the yellow sand rising from the ancient road. There were carriages running, escorts hauling goods passing by, and even beggars begging. It happened that the chipped porcelain bowl was stretched out in front of Li Xi'an. It was shaking, and there were only a few silver coins in it. .
All things are happening in the world of mortals.
Ancient creatures that resemble dragons and humans are out of place here.
Li Xi'an looked a little dazed. Why did the prosperous ancient road appear deep in Kunlun? What's more, everyone here is mortal.
At this time, a wrist as white as jade was lifted from where Li Xi'an was standing, and the sleeves of the robe were lightly gathered, covering the graceful and plump body curves.
The woman took out a silver coin and put it into the beggar's bowl, bowing her body as if whispering something.
When the woman raised her head, Li Xi'an was stunned.
There was a cinnabar-colored tear mole on the left corner of his almost demonic face, which was the same as the Jian Tiansi he saw in the imperial capital that day.
The woman chuckled, and the beggar backed away.
No, to be precise, everyone on the entire ancient road retreated. People of all kinds retreated to both sides of the ancient road, watching the woman in green clothes and dark hair walk by. When she reached the end, she looked back, as if looking at Li Xi'an.
At the end of the ancient road, earthly people are rising, mysterious lines are being written, and ancient auspicious clouds are filling the air. There is a burly heavenly king holding a pagoda, a lotus incarnation with three heads and six arms, and a sacred man with a heavenly eye hanging on his forehead. The phantoms of immortals and gods all over the sky appeared in this moment, and then disappeared in an instant.
By the time Li Xi'an looked away from the phantom of the immortal god, the woman had already walked away. Her green clothes and red clothes were scattered in the wind of time, and the lines of snakes, dragons and elephants seemed to come alive and roar and fight.
After coming back to his senses, he looked at the broken bowl and the beggar with a stooped body in front of him.
He gently put down a similar coin.
But the silver coin did not fall into the porcelain bowl, but fell to the ground. With the crisp sound of the silver coin and the stone, Li Xi'an woke up. Everything disappeared, only a few strands of yellow sand carried in the wind told him.
"You can enter Kunlun."
