"So why does [Shu Mountain] have something to do with the Yin Yang family?" Shu Li was puzzled.
"witch."
"witch?"
"Witches were considered messengers from heaven in ancient times and were respected by royal dignitaries and ordinary people."
Shuli lowered her head and thought.
The Wu Zhu who was 'adopted' by the Yin Yang family was a remnant of the Yin Shang Dynasty. Because the King of Shang suppressed them, they united with the King of Zhou to fight against the Shang, but they didn't want to be stabbed in the back by the King of Zhou again.
From then on, Wu Zhu could no longer influence the situation and influence the monarch's rule.
"[Shushan] is actually a descendant of the Wu clan?" Shuli asked uncertainly.
Bei Mingzi did not give a definite answer to this, because he did not know the exact origin of [Shu Mountain]. He only had a general understanding of it, but not much.
"I can't give you an accurate answer. What I know is that 'Shu Mountain' means 'protection' to them." After a pause, Bei Mingzi continued, "Hundreds of years ago, people were
The Wu Zhu lineage absorbed by the Yin Yang family seems to have come from Shu, and I don’t know more about it.”
Bei Mingzi shook his head slightly.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Beimingzi, for clarifying my doubts." Shu Li thanked him.
"Are you looking for [Shu Mountain]?" Bei Mingzi then asked.
Shuli hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
There are five natural materials, and people use them together, mixing earth with metal, wood, water, and fire to make hundreds of things.
According to Bei Mingzi, [Shu Mountain] is a large tribe consisting of five clans, namely: Shilan, Jingmu, Zhongxuan, Luliu, and Ziyan.
If the sky had no soil, it would not be able to cover the earth; if the earth had no soil, it would not be able to sustain all things on the earth, and grains would have nowhere to grow; if humans had no soil, they would not be able to reproduce naturally and the five permanent things would not be established. Therefore, heaven, earth, and humans cannot be without soil.
If wood has no soil, it will lose the power of cultivation; if fire has no soil, it will not be able to shine in all directions; if metal has no soil, it will be difficult to exert its sharp energy; if water has no soil, it will not be able to flow out in all directions through the terrain.
Therefore, the [Shilan Clan], which represents the ‘earth’, dominates the discourse power of [Shu Mountain]. On the other hand, it can also be said that the [Shilan Clan] is the royal family of [Shu Mountain].
"This avenue is the road to [Shu Mountain]?"
Meng Tian looked at a wide and gentle road ahead. Looking along the road, the end disappeared at the corner of a mountain, as if to tell you: the end is the destination.
Is the mysterious [Shu Mountain] so easy to find?
Meng Tian felt wary.
But this is the road passed down by Master Bei Mingzi. It took them several days to get here successfully. They encountered many misty beasts and poisonous insects on the way. There must be no problems, right?
Shu Li groaned, walked forward slowly, stepped back after a few steps, turned around and said to Qing He and Meng Tian, "Illusion is set up here, you follow me closely, I will take you through it."
Qing He and Meng Tian nodded.
In an instant, Meng Tian, who was close to Shu Li, felt as if he had passed through a thin film, and then he discovered that the environment in front of him had changed dramatically:
The towering woods turned into steep cliffs, and the mountain running across the road ahead was split into two. The road that disappeared under the mountain at the end reappeared with another branch, and continued along the mountain that was divided into two.
.
Just as Meng Tian was thinking about it, he heard Shu Li continue to say, "This illusion is a bit interesting. It only affects people's five senses and judgments, but it has no effect on animals."
Qinghe released his inner force and felt it for a while, then nodded. Sure enough, as Shu Li said, the sense of his released inner force told him that there was an obstacle ahead.
Meng Tian didn't say anything. As a descendant of a military strategist, he had a lot of martial arts and strategies, but he had almost no internal strength, so he could only use what he saw, and he could only be fascinated by the illusion.
While walking, Shuli suddenly turned her head and glanced at the cliff in the distance, and then quickly looked away again, as if taking a casual glance.
Just as Shu Li looked away, a snowflake disappeared in an instant.
distant cliff
"Yun, do you think she glanced at us just now?" A boy of about sixteen or seventeen years old shrank his neck and said with some worry.
The person the boy called Yun was a girl crouching next to him with an indifferent expression and looked slightly older than him.
They are all from the [Liliu Clan].
At the junction of every entrance and exit of the illusion that is connected to the outside world, there will be [Boundary Guards] selected by [Shu Mountain] to take turns on duty. This time it happened to be the turn of this young man who was taking up the job for the first time, so he was a little confused.
The girl has been a [Border Guard] for more than three years and is considered a senior [Border Guard].
Yun didn't look at the young man beside her. Instead, she kept a close eye on the direction of Shuli's group below. Once they entered the barrier without being affected by the illusion, she would immediately ask the young man to go back and convey the news, while she would lead them away.
, delay time.
This is her mission as a [Boundary Guardian].
Closer, closer.
Yun clenched his fists and stared at Shuli with his eyes.
Shuli stopped in front of the mountain wall where the illusion existed.
When the young man saw this, his anxious heart relaxed slightly, he exhaled heavily and sat on the ground.
This was the first time he had truly guarded the barrier since he became a [Boundary Guard], and the way Shuli looked at where they were at the beginning made the boy feel unprecedented pressure.
He had the illusion that he and Yun had been discovered by the woman.
Fortunately, she was also affected by the illusion, and she should turn away from here.
"Chi." Yun called softly.
Chi, is the name of that boy.
Hearing Yun's voice, the boy named Chi squatted down again, "What's wrong, Yun."
"I feel like I should go back and inform the elders that an outsider has invaded."
"Ah?" Chi stretched out his neck without knowing why, looked at Shu Li who was still standing there, and asked doubtfully, "Invasion? But aren't they under an illusion?"
"Go quickly!" Yun turned his head and ordered sternly.
Although there is nothing unusual yet, Yun has an indescribable strange feeling in his heart.
It's like. It's like she's dreaming.
Chi was startled by Yun's sudden stern expression, but he quickly reacted, took a few steps back carefully, swung at the wooden stake on the cliff, and soon disappeared.
Yun looked away, but frowned unconsciously.
The feeling like a dream is getting heavier and heavier.
Shaking her head, Yun wanted to throw this weird feeling out of her mind, which was affecting her to monitor the weird group of people below, who had been standing there for a long time.
Looking at Shu Li and his group who were still motionless, Yun gradually arched his body and touched the dagger at his waist with his left hand.
the other side,
Young Man Chi, who had already entered the forest from the wooden pile on the cliff, suddenly stopped and looked at the dense forest in front of him. Although he paused, he jumped in the other direction.
Bang~
A clear voice sounded in Yun and Chi's minds at the same time.
The vision in front of the two people suddenly became blurred, and then gradually returned to normal.
Chi turned to look at Yun, "I seemed to have fallen asleep just now."
Yun didn't answer, but looked at the road below and found no one at all, frowning slightly.
