Tian Gang Chapter 207 Kunlun (3)
There are shadowy figures near the Unfrozen Spring, and all kinds of Taoist energy are in the air to cover up one's tracks. In this situation, only by using the power of Taoism can one see everything clearly.
Of course, this is just a prelude. If a fight really breaks out, who can hide it? Most likely, the government will find out at the first opportunity, so the fight will not last too long.
Should we go over there now, or... I asked.
The old man from Yuanling thought for a while and said: Let’s go and take a look now. Although there are many people here, the real leaders have not arrived yet, so there shouldn’t be a fight.
The real owner?
The old man from Yuanling hummed and said: The Ling family didn't come, and the four gates of the ancient road didn't come either. One of these two families is a big monster in the northwest, and the other is a leader in the east. If they don't come, this play will never end.
Oh... I nodded, and then asked curiously: What about people from other places? These are only two directions.
The southern part of the country was severely suppressed, and most of them were assimilated like the Zhou family, so very few could come. Among those standing there now, there are probably cultivators from the south. As for the western part...
The old man from Yuanling chuckled twice and said proudly: Except for those lamas, they are all my soldiers.
Well... I curled my lips. It seems that only a part of the cultivation forces in the entire Chinese region can come. Maybe more than half, but definitely not all. Most of the four provinces in Xiangxi are ethnic minorities. The methods of cultivation are different from those in the inland areas. And with a leader like Yuanling Elder, it is normal for them not to come.
It's the south... I looked ahead, trying to find where the Zhou family was. But there were too many people there, and even if I had clairvoyance, it was difficult to tell who was who for a moment.
The fireworks are still going on, and the sky is decorated with colorful gunpowder. This is what technology is like, a kind of violent beauty.
After we entered the void, we headed towards the Unfrozen Spring. As we walked along, we could see several beams of light constantly sweeping across the sky. They looked a bit like searchlights.
My words seemed like a joke, but the old Taoist was lost in thought. When we were getting close to the place, he suddenly said: People say that Kunlun is thousands of miles high, with jade buildings on it, where the emperor travels. But ancient books record that Kunlun has no fixed place, floating in the nine heavens and six realms. Perhaps those light pillars are used to find the location of Kunlun Mountain.
I was filled with longing after hearing this. How magnificent would it be to see mountains thousands of miles high floating in the void? The grandeur of ancient mythology is beyond imagination. What kind of world could have allowed the ancients to pass down these shocking images in words?
Those light pillars shot up into the sky, tens of meters high, and were covered by fireworks. However, at such a low altitude, could they find Kunlun Mountain?
When we arrived at the Unfrozen Spring, dozens of people had already appeared, wading into the water. Although these people were brave, they did not attack, but just stood in the water and sensed it carefully.
But before long, many people began to tremble, and fell to the ground, either lying on their backs or lying prone. The survivors immediately lifted up the bodies of their companions and quickly left the Unfrozen Spring.
This kind of exploration continued many times, and the figures that appeared and disappeared did not make the crew panic. They continued to perform their own plays, as if they did not see those practitioners who appeared and disappeared mysteriously.
From this point of view, these people's minds and acting skills are terrifyingly strong. But if you think about it carefully, they may be another part of the cult's secular forces, so they already know everything that may happen.
Generally speaking, practitioners will not attack ordinary people without reason. This is an iron rule. Therefore, although some people cast malicious glances at the crew, no one paid any attention.
A few of us stood by the Unfrozen Spring, watching groups of people exploring there.
No one could find out the truth, because the cult went too deep into the ground, unless they also went down, or dug up the whole place. The old Taoist was able to get Jiao Ye out of Qinling Mountains, firstly, he used a lot of Taoist power, and secondly, he used Taoist magic to pull him, instead of forcibly opening a passage.
Just like there is no comparison between lifting a thousand-pound object using a pulley and lifting a thousand-pound object directly.
Will they really do it here? I asked curiously.
The old man from Yuanling nodded and said: "They should. After all, it was a cult that caused the shock, so they have reason to take action. Even if the army intervenes, they will only clean up the mess and beat the fallen dogs. For practitioners, the government will suppress them, but will not force them too much. After all, this is a force beyond the secular world and cannot be replicated by science."
However, there are not many people here now. I am afraid that in two days, when everyone arrives, the nights here will be very restless. The old man Yuanling looked around and continued: Maybe the evil sect will choose to act during the day, and many practitioners will be cautious at that time. I just don’t know what their plan is. If the process of ascending to immortality is not long, then it is more likely to happen during the day.
There wasn't much progress that night. In the second half of the night, the light column dissipated and there was no need to set off fireworks.
Because of the large number of practitioners coming, the crew simply did not leave. They dug pits to lay out wires, or set up many small tents, and it seemed that they were planning to stay here permanently.
There weren't many people left in the bus on the road, and many people got off the bus and went into the tent to rest. This blatant way of grabbing territory was very interesting to the old man from Yuanling. The cult was really too cautious to cover up to this extent.
So far, no government agencies have come here. It seems that they have opened up many connections, and the current cover-up is just to deceive public opinion.
It was naturally inconvenient for us to stay here. Although the Ling family might know our plan, many practitioners would still feel that they were tricked. You know, mad dogs never care whether you are human or not, they just want to bite. Therefore, for safety reasons, we left there an hour after the light column dissipated.
Fourth, the four gates of the ancient road finally brought people. There were so many people that they covered the sky and landed like locusts in the evening.
The Four Sects of Ancient Dao is a traditional sect that practices the four methods of wind, fire, water and earth. They believe that this inheritance comes from Pangu, who created the world, and is the bloodline left by ancient myths. Therefore, they also believe that when the methods are practiced to the extreme and become one, they can create the world like Pangu, and determine the destiny of the universe.
This is of course a luxury. Humans are just tiny creatures. Cultivation is to make you stronger and better able to adapt to the rules, but it is not to make you a GM. Otherwise, God will not be willing. How can you, a minor actor, steal the limelight from me, the protagonist? I will kill you in a minute.
But in general, the four gates of the ancient road are still very powerful. Last time they fought with the Heavenly Corpse Vein, they only brought a part of their people, and even the Qingfu Heavenly Corpse of the Walking Corpse Vein could hardly cause them much damage.
As the leader of the Eastern Region, they came with great force this time, all wearing clothes of different colors according to their respective cultivation methods. From a distance, they looked like cheerleaders. However, the cheerleaders were made up of beautiful girls, while this group was made up of old men with beards.
My idea made the old man from Yuanling very happy.
On the fifth day, the Ling family arrived.
There weren't too many people, probably more than a thousand, and the team was a bit messy. But this group of people, led by the Ling family, had gleams in their eyes and murderous intent. The old man Yuanling looked at them, curled his lips and said nothing, but it could be seen that he was a little surprised by the strength of the Ling family's allies.
The legendary monster did not appear, only dozens of ferocious beasts accompanied the people. The deafening roar made people tremble with fear.
If I draw a circle around the area where the Ling family is, and put railings around it , I can sit there and collect admission fees. I think there should be many people who are willing to appreciate the Kunlun Zoo.
The real masters have all arrived, so naturally they gather together to discuss. In fact, there is no third way to discuss, either they force a passage or wait for the cult to show up.
Since they are ascending to heaven, they must be going up to the sky. The cult can hide on the ground for five or ten days, but it is impossible for them to stay underground forever.
Soon, the idea was finalized, and everyone, led by the Ling family and the four ancient roads, gathered at the Unfrozen Spring. Their figures were no longer concealed, and when these people appeared together, the whole land seemed crowded.
There were dense crowds of people, in the sky and on the ground, filling up the area within a few thousand meters. With so many people, it was actually difficult to achieve any effect, and the possibility of accidentally hurting one's own people was relatively high.
However, considering that many people are just there to join in the fun, those who are really willing to take action are those within the core circle of 100 meters.
The Ling family's demon tribe suffered heavy losses in the last attack by the cult. This time, they brought demon beasts infused with demon blood, which looked more powerful than before. But the old Taoist priest next to me shook his head: Using demon blood to give birth to demon beasts will make the Ling family prosperous in a short period of time, but it will be difficult for the Ling family to recover in two hundred years. Another family is going to be lonely, really...
He sighed, but I didn't take it seriously. Such a big family, even if they have to fight to the death, they have to fight to the death. For Shanbo and Niejingtai, the three families of Tianshi Clan, a total of nearly 2,000 people, all died. What a huge price to pay? If the plan didn't succeed in the end, they would be left with nothing.
In order to achieve extreme prosperity, practitioners are willing to take risks that ordinary people cannot imagine. They firmly believe that instead of slowly declining, it is better to shorten a hundred years to a day and fight for a brilliant glory. Even if they fail, it only brings the time of failure forward, which in turn gives them more time to think about what to do after failure.
Everyone has different ideas, and it is hard to say whether they are right or wrong. Just like in a TV series I watched, a businessman sold a project that could earn 300 million in three years for 200 million. Why? Because he had made a lot of money with 200 million, but it would take three years to make another 100 million. And he believed that he could make more money with 200 million in three years, or even double it.
This is the value and the length of vision. Different brains have different thoughts.
When the Ling family and the four gates of the ancient road stood beside the unfrozen spring and raised their right hands, I couldn't help but hold my breath. The brilliant fireworks finally reached the moment of blooming.
At this moment, a puff of black gas emerged from under the Unfrozen Spring, and I heard a voice coming from below: Wait a minute! Don’t you want to enter Kunlun?
