Chapter 2: The Top of Mount Tai, the Mysterious Portal
After leaving Yunyan Village, we were still within the scope of Dragon Vein. There was a forest of huge trees, towering into the clouds. We knew the direction, put our hands behind our heads, and walked very slowly.
Ding ding ding~
A small bell was tied to each of Bai Ye's ankles, and a crisp jingle sounded as he walked.
"The art of the gods, the most spiritual body technique!" The dense jingling sound lingered in his ears. Bai Ye stared at the two bells closely, but the master actually asked him to use the bells to practice his body skills.
"Whenever the bell stops ringing when you move around and twist it, that's when you have started to learn skills and entered the palace." The master's words echoed in my ears.
Bai Ye tried not to let the bell ring, but it still kept tinkling. As long as it was moved, the bell would make a clear ringing sound.
He moved his feet carefully, trying out the changes in the ring tone at different speeds.
Looking back, suddenly, an idea flashed in Bai Ye's mind, and he turned back.
Wang Hua has strictly prohibited him from getting close to Mount Tai since he was young. Mount Tai is just a vague outline in his heart. At this moment, Bai Ye's heart is itching like a cat scratching.
The footsteps are sometimes fast and sometimes slow, the ringtone is sometimes urgent and sometimes slow, and the real Mount Tai is getting closer and closer, majestic and majestic, like a sleeping giant, gradually becoming clearer.
"Hey, who is that person?"
A man floated towards us from Mount Tai, emitting endless light and supporting a sky with his back. It was sacred and strange.
"What method is this?"
Stepping on a giant cauldron, the seven-color breath is flowing, the white clothes are fierce, the grace is graceful, and there is a crow standing on the right shoulder, like the legendary "Exiled Immortal".
Bai Ye suddenly remembered Wang Hua's words in his heart: In the forbidden area of the holy mountain, gods come and return to silence, and immortals come and perish.
The man glanced at Bai Ye, a jade fan reflected in his eyes, and asked doubtfully: "It feels so familiar. Isn't that person dead?"
Bai Ye cupped his hands and saluted: "Boy, pay homage to the immortal!"
The man in white was close in an instant, his skills were close to the Tao, and he said indifferently: "Can you see me?"
At this moment, Bai Ye realized that the man's appearance could not be seen clearly at all, as if he was separated by endless fog.
It's so close, yet so far away, so real and so illusory.
"The boy is not blind. He has eyes to see and ears to hear. Why can't he see?" Bai Ye's heart trembled, and his eyes were filled with laughter.
The man in white said: "The Ancient Holy Body, are you willing to practice with me?"
"I already have a master," Bai Ye said weakly.
Hearing this, the man in white smiled and said, "He can't teach you! Has he ever taught you how to practice?"
Bai Ye shook his head.
The man in white patted Bai Ye on the shoulder and said with a smile: "We both started from this mountain and have a connection in the past. I hope we have the opportunity to meet again in the future."
It gradually went further and further away until it disappeared without a trace. The figure seemed to have crossed six reincarnations and disappeared into the long river of time.
Bai Ye felt an inexplicable feeling of sadness and despair in his heart, and it took him a long time to calm down.
There were two men who left an indelible impression on him. Wang Hua was a mortal who had experienced hardships and had great wisdom.
Then this man is the real banished immortal. In his gentle and elegant appearance, the unconcealable tyranny can be seen clearly.
Bai Ye continued to approach Mount Tai. Since this man could go up there, he believed he could too.
Mount Tai has been ranked first among the Five Mountains since ancient times and is known as the ancestor of all mountains. The Three Emperors, the Five Emperors, and later the Emperors of the People have all climbed to the top of Mount Tai to worship the gods. This undoubtedly adds a strong sense of mystery to it.
The sunset on the horizon is about to end, and the overwhelming red clouds are as dazzling as blood, and are terrifyingly eerie.
As night falls, the demonic voice gradually replaces the divine voice, making people cry like complaining. Mount Tai is shrouded in a terrifying shadow, as if something has come to life and a group of demons are dancing wildly.
At the foot of the mountain, Bai Ye stepped into the real mountain. In an instant, a ghostly chanting sound enveloped him, like a body of cocoon bones. In an instant, his body stopped obeying him, and a strange voice shouted in his mind:
Kill, kill, kill, kill him and turn the world upside down!
Bai Ye's energy and blood were boiling, his veins were exposed, his eyes slowly became fierce, and he rushed towards the top of the mountain, charging all the way, leaving a mess behind.
Bai Ye's body was covered with wounds, deep enough to the bone. Fortunately, he had a strong ability to heal himself. If it had been anyone else, he would have collapsed long ago due to excessive blood loss.
Slowly, Bai Ye's wounds healed slower and slower. There was a strange power in the whole mountain. With the loss of blood, Bai Ye gradually became dizzy.
However, at this moment, a mysterious and cool breath spurted out from between the eyebrows, covering the whole body, and the wound healing speed was slightly accelerated.
After receiving the impact of this breath, his mind gradually cleared up and his rationality revived, just in time to suppress his violent will.
It was dawn, and Bai Ye ran for who knows how long or how far he ran when he lost his mind. In front of him, a huge stone tablet loomed. He glanced at the sky and gritted his teeth and rushed away.
He was not willing to give up halfway at this point. He had already made a plan in his heart. As long as he went down the mountain before dark, there would be absolutely no problems.
A broken stone tablet appeared in front of him. A corner of the tablet was missing. Only the last word "men" was clearly visible. The previous word was incomplete, and it could be vaguely seen that it was the word "hui".
There is also a line of small words on the stone tablet, crooked and crooked: Taichu came here for a visit! A small corner of the stone tablet was forcibly smashed by someone, and the traces are still new, and it was only a short period of time from now.
Only then did Bai Ye realize that he had reached the top. After crossing the incomplete stone monument, he suddenly saw a world covered in white mist, looming, as if hiding a great terror!
His heart was trembling, but he still didn't want to leave. Wang Hua once said to him: Man's plan and God's will bring success!
I groped forward cautiously, my attention was focused as never before, and I walked extremely slowly. However, it seemed that there was really nothing in this place. I walked for a long time, but I didn't see those things.
Bai Ye decided to go back to where he was. When he looked back, he didn't know where he came from. He was shocked and could only move forward.
Finally, he saw a withered skeleton, feeling happy and scared at the same time. He was happy that he finally saw something and there might be a way to get out, but he was worried that there was something terrifying ahead that would cause him harm, even something like that person.
Same death.
The withered skeleton was lying on the ground, its right hand stretched forward in a grasping shape, as if something within reach was moving away, very unwillingly.
The whole white bones are shining with radiance, and the divine radiance flows, showing a powerful divinity. After countless years, it remains immortal. He must have been a powerful figure who shocked the world during his lifetime!
Walking in the direction pointed by the white bones, Bai Ye didn't notice that his hair was gradually turning white, his skin was getting older, and his movements were getting slower. It seemed that there was a terrifying force dominating everything, making the years pass at an extremely fast speed.
In the end, only desolation remains.
His back is stooped, his face is full of wrinkles, and his movements are slow. You can vaguely see the appearance of the young man Bai Ye. Even his bright eyes have become weathered. Maybe this is him a hundred years from now.
Many things that should not exist seem to appear out of thin air in the memory. They are blurry and unclear, but they still have a vivid feeling.
Along the way, Bai Ye saw nine white bones crawling forward. Some of them were obviously not human, with wings growing on their backs or slender tails.
The longing in their eyes is the same. They were once very close to something, something that would be difficult to let go of until death.
One step, two steps...
In the white night, he saw a huge bronze door carved with dragons and phoenixes. It was covered with patina, as if it had gone through many vicissitudes of life. It was also carved with many strange birds and beasts that he had never seen before. The whole giant door connected the sky and the earth. However, at a height where people were high,
There is a hole and a palm print...
Slender and slender, it was obviously left by a woman.
Bai Ye was very confused as to what kind of person could leave a transparent palm print on such a huge bronze door!
Out of curiosity, he slowly put his right palm into the palm print on the door, wanting to feel the figure up close... But at that moment, a white flower flew out of the door, and Bai Ye lost consciousness in an instant.
.
At the last moment of consciousness, Bai Ye felt extremely regretful. He regretted not listening to his master and entering Mount Tai without permission.
Gods come and return to silence, immortals come and perish!
He vaguely saw a figure standing in front of him, as if he was the legendary Impermanent Soul, waving to him gently...
