Chapter 621 Seeking the Path
Afterwards, the man told Li Muhan and others a story.
A story about this snow-capped mountain.
Thousands of years ago.
This snow mountain is not yet a snow mountain.
There are four aliens living there.
A bad-tempered, abusive person.
The Ape who knows the past and the Luduan who knows the future.
And the ancient mythical beast Bai Ze, who is like an older brother to them.
Legend has it that when Emperor Huangdi Xuanyuan was traveling, he came to a fairy mountain and asked what the mountain was.
One of his alchemists was named Ning Fengzi. He told Huangdi that there was a great opportunity in this mountain and that an immortal lived there.
This immortal can help Xuanyuan realize his long-cherished wish of immortality.
So Huangdi took Ning Fengzi into the mountains to seek immortality.
Along the way, they met the cursing Shan Gao, the mumbling ape, and the luduan who sighed, "holy lord, blessed by heaven."
When they were finally about to reach the top of the mountain, Ning Fengzi allowed Huangdi to go alone to pay a visit.
Huangdi met Bai Ze on the top of the mountain. He knew that seeking immortality should not be spoken openly.
So he asked the Immortal Bai Ze indirectly, saying that the world was plagued by evil spirits and people were suffering, and he hoped that the immortal could give him some advice.
Bai Ze was grateful to Huangdi for caring about the people of the world, so he allowed him to go to the top of the mountain alone every day during this month, and told Huangdi the weaknesses of all the strange monsters in detail.
During this month, Huangdi climbed to the top of the mountain every day and recorded what Bai Ze said. Later generations compiled it, which is now the "Bai Ze Jingguai Tu".
It contains the weaknesses and habits of 11,520 kinds of gods and ghosts.
From a human perspective, everything Bai Ze did allowed future generations to live in peace for a period of time.
But this also made Bai Ze a sinner who betrayed all the monsters.
After hearing this, Li Muhan finally understood why Bai Ze’s people were being persecuted like this, and also understood who this so-called sinner was.
"Hehehe, don't be impatient, Captain Li. We haven't gotten to the point yet. There are three important characters in this story. One is Ji Xuanyuan, one is Bai Ze, and the other one... is the alchemist Ning Fengzi."
The man looked at Li Muhan with a smile, but Li Muhan said nothing, just nodded, motioning the man to continue.
Ning Fengzi, also known as Longqiao Zhenren, is an immortal in ancient Chinese legends. How did he become an immortal?
That is inseparable from this story.
Ning Fengzi was also the ancestor of pottery making, but there are few records about him in later generations.
But this person is actually not a down-to-earth cultivator, and that's because his methods are somewhat evil.
So at that time, he violated a certain taboo of this world and was hunted by an alien.
No, he didn't even know if it was an alien.
It is said that Ning Fengzi already knew that his end was near at that time, and the alien creature came closer to him every time it attacked.
The next time that disheveled woman and the worn bronze knife in her hand appear, they will definitely take his life.
This was an inevitable fate, so Ning Fengzi used some clever tricks.
He asked Ji Xuanyuan to go into the mountains to seek immortality, and to buy time by making indirect attempts.
He kidnapped Bai Ze's four brothers and killed Shan Gao.
On the last day, Huangdi said goodbye to Bai Ze, but Bai Ze cried and told Huangdi.
His four brothers have been captured by Ning Fengzi, and the things he told him have harmed his brothers instead.
Now Shan Gao is dead, and although he has retained its soul, he cannot revive it.
But Ning Fengzi wanted to become an immortal but used such despicable means. Bai Ze broke off his horn and handed it to Huangdi while crying.
"If Ning Fengzi gets this horn, he can ascend to become an immortal. I hope he will let his other three brothers go."
Ji Xuanyuan was shocked, and then he went to find Ning Fengzi angrily, just in time to see Ning Fengzi ordering people to tie up the other three strange beasts.
Huangdi angrily stabbed Bai Ze's horn into Ning Fengzi's chest.
But this actually helped him to achieve enlightenment and ascend to heaven.
At this moment, Huangdi saw a girl with disheveled hair standing behind Ning Fengzi.
The bronze sword that the girl had raised stopped at this moment.
She looked at Huangdi with lifeless eyes, then sighed deeply, turned slowly and walked towards the top of the mountain.
No one knows what happened between Bai Ze and the woman afterwards.
Later generations said that after helping Ji Xuanyuan achieve enlightenment and become an immortal, Bai Ze returned to this mountain and never set foot there again.
And that mountain has evolved over thousands of years into the snow-capped mountain it is today.
Having said this, the man chuckled twice. He sat on the girl's body and looked at Li Muhan.
"Captain Li, do you know now? Bai Ze is gone, and on the top of the mountain is the nameless alien that Ning Fengzi trapped with some kind of law."
Li Muhan had actually guessed it when he was halfway through listening.
That woman...is Lin Ze.
In other words, it is some kind of existence similar to Lin Ze, and there is definitely not only one such existence.
So far, Li Muhan knew that the woman had appeared more than twice.
Once was in the memory of the cat demon Bai Ran, and the other was in the border city as Yang Er said.
So what exactly is Lin Ze...
"Captain Li, this year's trial is destined to be an extraordinary year. Do you know why?"
"Why?" Li Muhan asked.
"Because General Lu is dead, Border City is destroyed, and Prometheus is gone, the turmoil in China will inevitably lead to the gradual revival of some of the old rules, so..."
The man pointed to the top of the mountain and said with a smile: "It's time for that thing on the top of the mountain to wake up."
Zhou Yichen was confused. He looked at Li Muhan and asked, "Boss, what do you mean..."
"What I mean is..."
Li Muhan smiled and looked at everyone: "What I mean is that I have heard enough stories and it is time to deal with him."
The man was slightly stunned after hearing Li Muhan's words, and then he started cursing.
"Li Muhan! What do you mean?! Do you want to break the contract?!"
"ah......"
Li Muhan glanced at the man slightly sideways, a golden light shining in his eyes: "Didn't your mother tell you not to make a pact with the devil?"
......
At this moment, in the dim room, the girl was holding a pen in one hand and a parchment scroll in the other, looking at what she had written with satisfaction.
Then the door of the room was opened and Parean walked in.
He looked at the dim room and sighed: "Can't you just turn on the light? You've almost carved my name as a villain into your head."
Moriarty raised his eyes slightly and looked at Parean: "Oh~ Because this is your office, I dare not turn on the lights casually~"
"Then don't mess around with my things."
Parean walked to the desk helplessly and said, "Plague is dead, Zhong Huaian is dead, and all his armies are gone. Hecate is being taken into custody by the Tianhai City Special Management Bureau. Moriarty, everything is developing as you said. Now, can you let me see the Heart of the World?"
Moriarty shook his head. "We're just getting started. Forget about that for now. Come and read the novel I wrote."
She handed the parchment scroll to Parean.
"A brave man defeated the Demon King, but he was also infected by the Demon King's evil spirit and became the new Demon King. Many years later, the brave man's child defeated the Demon King again, and the Demon King's evil spirit infected a new brave man."
Parean gave a wry smile and said, "My dog at home can write better than you."
Moriarty pouted and said, "It's not finished yet. The ending of the story is that the princess couldn't stand it anymore and killed these ridiculous demon kings and heroes with her own hands. Hahahahaha."
“…”
Parean looked at Moriarty, who was laughing heartily.
"Laugh."
Moriarty's eyes suddenly turned cold, and a trace of cold sweat broke out on Parean's forehead.
"Ha ha ha ha......"
"Be happy~hahahahaha~"
“Hahahahahaha…”
"Parean, what do you think of the gods?"
Moriarty asked Parean behind him while flipping through the books on the bookshelf.
Parean didn't know what she was hinting at, but he still replied, "The Supreme Being."
"Oh, what about the original god?"
"What do you mean?"
"For example... Pangu, Nuwa, Chaos, God, Ymir, Ra, Brahma, Izanagi, Atum."
"The Supreme Beyond the Supreme."
Parean replied with a smile.
"So do you really think they created this world?"
Moriarty picked up a book and looked back at Parean.
"I think the myths of different countries are different, but they are indeed extraordinary beings. As for whether they created this world..."
"Idiot." Moriarty stuck out his tongue.
"All the creator gods simply carved out existing worlds and built their own civilizations. Have you ever wondered who created them?"
"It's this great world."
Parean finally understood what Moriarty was trying to say. He just had to go along with it...
