Chapter 54
On Langya Mountain, Young Duanzheng was panting and running all the way.
Langya Terrace is not very high, and even including Langya Mountain, it is only a few dozen feet tall.
However, Langya Terrace is only used by the princes and even the emperor to worship the heaven and the earth, or to praise the merits of the stone, and no one usually goes on the stage.
Therefore, there is no road in Langyatai, and Shaoduan can only walk through the weeds and trees with difficulty.
Fortunately, he was born in Huafa early, but he is only in his thirties. Although he is already old, he can still support himself after climbing a platform of tens of feet.
As for the other village elders, they are used to working hard and inspired by the fairy mountain, so they are more relaxed than Shaoduan, but they are older than Shaoduan and not as agile as Shaoduan, so they fall behind Shaoduan.
At this time, Shao Duan had already torn off his robes, and his bare arms were covered with bloody mouths hanging from branches and weeds. He rushed to the top of Langya Terrace, resisting the feeling of dizziness, and looked at the sky.
Above the sky, the fairy mountain is still there, so close and within reach.
Because the top of the platform is rammed earth, there are far fewer trees and weeds than the bottom of the platform, and the shape of the platform can still be seen.Shao Duan ran in the direction of Xianshan Mountain, but after walking a few steps, he fell to his knees panting.
There were footsteps behind him, but several village elders also climbed to the top of the stage.Young Duan tried his best to speak: "Don't delay, quickly find the way to climb the Immortal Mountain!"
Several village elders also knew the importance. After hearing the words, they took steps. They just took a step, but they stood still.
"Don't blame me, young master," one of them said in shame, "I am already old and decrepit, and I don't know where the fairy mountain is for a while."
"I can't find the fairy mountain either. Can Young Duan give us some instructions?" Another village elder also spoke immediately.
The villagers are old, have bad eyesight, and have just done strenuous exercise, so Shaoduan understands very well.
He didn't take it seriously, raised his head with all his strength, and pointed to the southeast: "The Immortal Mountain is over there..."
Before he could finish a sentence, his eyes suddenly widened.
He stood up straight with all his strength and looked around. Suddenly his vision went dark and he fell heavily to the ground.
"Shaoduan!" Several village elders were shocked, rushed forward and helped him up with all their might.
Young Duan only had a moment of anger and blood, but he recovered in an instant. He threw away several village elders who were supporting him, staggered and fell to the ground, and let out a roar as if he was crying blood.
"Is the sky going to destroy me, Langya County?"
"What do you mean by this?" A village elder asked doubtfully. He reacted instantly, and his face that was originally red from climbing the mountain instantly turned pale: "Could it be that the fairy mountain has disappeared?"
Another village elder's lips began to tremble: "Look carefully, how come it's missing!"
There was a "pop" sound, but a village elder sat on the ground and started crying: "It's strange that when we came up, we never saw the fairy mountain."
"Langya County is beyond heaven!" He repeated Ling Duan's words.
There was a sudden cry of sorrow, and all the villagers burst into tears.
Heaven wanted to offend the people, and there was no rain in Langya County for several months.
The government was unkind and forced young men to build palaces and stone roads, causing the farming season to be delayed.
Immortals have become the last hope of Langya County.And it just so happened that I met Xianshan again, and it was very close at hand.
This may be said, there is no perfect way!
However, the cruelest thing in the world is to give hope in despair and then take it away.
Everyone climbed to the top of Langya Mountain desperately, hoping to beg the gods to save the people, but the fairy mountain disappeared!
"What crimes have we, the people of Langya, committed?"
At this moment, Shao Duan was ashamed, and he cried out sadly: "Even the gods have abandoned us!"
"It's not that the gods abandoned us." A voice suddenly sounded, but it was Xiang Lao.
Xiang Lao was the oldest one, and he was being helped up by several half-grown children.
He sighed and said, "This is not a fairy mountain. It is not a fairy mountain, so naturally there are no gods. Since there are no gods, how can we talk about abandoning us?"
"Isn't it a fairy mountain?" A village elder said in surprise, and even the young man stopped crying.
Xianglao is a descendant of the surname Si, and the surname Si is the original surname of Xia Hou's family in the Xia Dynasty.
In the past, when the Tang Dynasty of Shang Dynasty destroyed the Xia Dynasty, in order to preserve the Miao descendants, the Xia Hou clan abandoned the Si surname and replaced it with Liao, Fei, Xin, Qi, Xiang, Ouyang, Sikong and other surnames.
Although it has been more than a thousand years, the Xiang family is a descendant of the Xiahou family, and their heritage is not comparable to that of ordinary Guizhou people.
For example, Mr. Xiang, whose knowledge is Langya County, and even the most profound person in Langya County, is Shaoduan, and he is respected very much on weekdays.
"This is a mirage." There was also a look of pain on Xiang Lao's face. It was obvious that he had known this before, but still had hope.
"It is rumored that mirages are transformed by the resentful souls of those who drowned in the sea. They use illusions to lure unsuspecting people into the sea and drown them."
"These are all illusions and falsehood."
Xiang Lao looked at Shao Duan and said seriously: "It's like the words of the gods, it's all nonsense. We are lucky, this mirage appeared on Langya Mountain. If it appeared in the sea, we would have drowned by now Yea!"
"Ha!" Young Duan laughed miserably, "Rather than starve to death, I would rather drown in the sea and be buried in the belly of a fish!"
"In this way, we can still fatten the fish, and maybe a few more people can survive!" He lay down weakly on the ground.
All the old people in the village were ashen as dead.
What Xiang Lao said is true. Although Langyatai is a place of gods, for the people of Langya County, the so-called Langyatai can be seen every day and there is no mystery about it.
For thousands of years, there have been countless legends about Langya Immortal, but no one has ever seen it with his own eyes.
If there are no gods in Langya, where are there?
Coupled with the calamity of alchemists, Langya people have long believed in immortal alchemists.
Just as Xiang Lao said, it’s all false!
Elder Xiang also had a look of despair on his face, just as he was about to speak, a clear whistle suddenly came from the side of Langya Terrace.
"Ow!"
This whistle was full of joy and vitality, and the villagers felt their hearts suddenly relaxed.
"What is this?" Shaoduan also felt refreshed, turned over and sat up.
"It smells like a mortal beast."
Xiang Lao frowned and listened carefully. His expression suddenly changed and he said in surprise, "I seem to hear someone preaching?"
Not only him, everyone heard it at this time.
This voice was extremely soft and indifferent, like a cloud high in the sky, and everyone couldn't hear what he was saying at all.
However, the mysterious thing is that although the voice was not clear to the ears, it exploded in the hearts of everyone, and their minds became clearer in an instant.
"Go and have a look!" Shao Duan only felt his body instantly full of vitality, he quickly got up, and walked in the direction that Qing Xiao had heard just now, other village elders also followed with puzzled faces.
After a while, Young Duan and his group had arrived at the edge of the stage, and at this time, the soft and indifferent voice was much clearer.
"Jiao Zhe belongs to the water element!"
"As the saying goes, the best is like water!"
The voice exploded in Shaoduan's heart like a thunderbolt, making him feel that his eyes suddenly went dark!
It's dark?
He raised his head in astonishment. He didn't know when the sky had turned into a dark color. There was a strange light that seemed to come from outside, tearing apart the black clouds, and the sky began to flicker.
"It is also said that water is good for all things without fighting."
The sound of the Tao sounded again, like a bell and a bell, and the heaven and the earth seemed to ring in unison.
At this time, the elder Xiang also rushed over with a group of village elders panting, his face full of shock.
One word can move the world!
Who is this preacher?
He subconsciously looked at Shao Duan, only to see that Shao Duan was looking at the sky with a shocked face and trembling body.
It was only then that Xiang Lao discovered that the bright day, which was still hanging high in the sky just now, had quietly disappeared without knowing when.
The surroundings have become dark, like dusk.
There was an uneasy silence between the heaven and the earth, and a faint coercion descending from the sky, making Xiang Lao unable to help but want to kneel down and bow down.
"Those who do not fight, say, thwart their sharpness, resolve their disputes, unite their light, and unite their dust!"
The sound of the Tao sounded again, and waves began to surge in the distance on the sea surface, seeming to follow the rhythm of the sound.
"Also, it is said that the way of heaven is to benefit without harm. The way of saints is to work without fighting!"
However, there was a wind that seemed to come from the nine heavens, and it caused a chill in the body, and there was also a sense of numbness, which spread all over the bodies of the villagers.
"Now, I will teach you the Tao of non-fighting. You should understand the true meaning of the Tao, do no harm and do not fight!"
"Ow!"
As the sound of the Tao fell, the clear whistle sounded again. Although it was immature, there was a majestic meaning in the whistle, and there was also a touch of determination to die without regrets.
The next moment, a loud "boom" sounded above everyone's heads. Several village elders were shocked and fell to the ground in fright.
But it was thunder!
Everyone raised their heads subconsciously, only to see wind and thunder surging above the sky.A cloud that came from nowhere was gathering towards the top of the head.
A large swirling cloud is forming rapidly in the sky. There is a large hole in the vortex, which is like the eye of heaven and earth, making people feel heart-stopping.
A trace of electric snakes began to linger among the clouds, and everyone felt their scalps go numb.
If this thunder landed on the top of his head, not to mention all the villagers present, even Langya Terrace would probably blow a big hole.
"What is this?"
At this time, people still don't know the reason of drawing thunder from a high place, so a villager spoke tremblingly.
Not only him, but other village elders also turned pale.
The two young Fu Xiang Lao who came on stage immediately hid behind Xiang Lao with their heads held in their hands and their buttocks stuck out, not daring to say a word.
But Xiang Lao was trembling all over now, but it wasn't just because he was afraid of the power of heaven and earth.
Xiangshi is a prominent surname in Langya County. Although the Kingdom of Empress Xia has been extinct for nearly a thousand years, social development was slow in ancient times. A thousand years is no different from ten years later, and the foundation of Xiangshi is still there.
The so-called background is not the property of goods, but knowledge!
These days, due to limited communication channels, wealth is easy to come by, but knowledge is hard to find!
Xiang Lao cultivated and studied in his family and had countless books in his family. He was said to be rich in learning.
Therefore, he also knew what Li Si, the Prime Minister of the Qin Dynasty, said about Zhi Niao, but he did not explain it so thoroughly unless it was reported to the court.
Although he had never heard the Qingyue howl that sounded many times just now, he always felt that he had seen such records.
At this moment, when he saw the thunderclouds gathering in the sky, he suddenly remembered.
There is a saying in the ancient strange book "Shan Hai Jing", that to the east of Xuanshan Mountain, Yishui River flows out.And to the east, there is an island.There are mulberries on the island, fifty feet in size.Under the mulberry, there are those who are like snakes, but they are not reptiles, but belong to scales.
Its voice is like that of a young cow, that of a tiger, or that of a young phoenix.
It feeds on water vapor every day, so it is a good ocean.If it is struck by lightning from the sky, if it does not die, it will increase by two feet and live a thousand years!
This is called, jumping in the sea!
