Taoist Zijin frowned: "Do you want me to kill him?"
"No!" Zhang Fan shook his head: "You have to remember, he is not a chess piece that can be discarded..."
Taoist Zi Jin seemed a little confused, but he also had a premonition. He gripped the dagger tightly and took a step forward, heading straight for Brother Chongzi's back.
Zhang Fan carried Mr. Fei on his back, followed by Nangong Manyun and Jiang Hai, and the three of them moved forward slowly! On this wide Machi Road, they were like walking on the back of a dragon! Completely the size of an ant, you can imagine how magnificent this ancient city was built, which is amazing. Behind this ancient city, there must be a huge civilization to support it!
After passing through several archway-like gates one after another, old man Jiang Hai was out of breath. When passing through the last gate, he grabbed Nangong Manyun beside him.
"Grandpa, what's wrong?" Nangong Manyun asked curiously!
"Nangong, we passed through several doors!"
"Including this door, there are six in total! We should be at the end." Nangong Manyun took out a handkerchief and wiped the cold sweat off Jiang Hai's head: "Don't worry, old man, we have passed so many hurdles, and we will see the real heaven soon. You will definitely find immortality."
Jiang Hai took off the gas mask with great effort!
"Mr. Jiang Hai, you..." Nangong Manyun took the mask in surprise, only to see Mr. Jiang Hai breathing in the air filled with volcanic ash.
"Look, there are complicated carvings on each of these six doors. I barely recognized some of them and found that they are extremely similar to the Six Paths of Reincarnation!"
"What?" Nangong Manyun widened his eyes in surprise. He was busy on his way and didn't pay attention to these details at all.
If Grandpa Jiang Hai hadn’t mentioned it, no one would have noticed this at all!
Zhang Fan didn't come over, but just glanced at Jiang Hai's face with the corner of his eyes. He heard what Jiang Hai said! And just as Jiang Hai said, when they stepped through the first gate of heaven, that was actually the dividing line between the human world and this mountain!
Wanku Mountain is a world of its own. This was the mysterious feeling he and Taoist Zijin had after encountering the evil infant demon.
Now it has been confirmed that this is indeed the case!
These six gates correspond to Asura, evil spirits, hell, livestock, the human world, and heaven! Starting from the first human gate, to the last heaven gate!
This completes the process of crossing the five paths and entering the heavenly path.
"Nangong, look... the artifacts, people, animals, and other reliefs on these gates are all different from what we know... So the people who built this city were definitely not ordinary people!"
Jiang Hai had only said half of his words, but Nangong Manyun had already understood.
"Old man, I feel these statues are very strange! Could this represent the way of heaven in the eyes of those people? I can't accept it!"
Old man Jiang Hai laughed and turned around with the help of Nangong Manyun!
His eyes swept lightly over Zhang Fan, and finally he straightened up and looked at the last door in front of him!
"After passing through this door, we have arrived in the heaven! This... is truly a majestic place that can be called the Heavenly Palace."
Jiang Hai said it with a hoarse but resolute voice, as if he was shouting out his own beliefs! His fingers trembled as he pointed at the last door.
Nangong Manyun trembled and felt goose bumps all over his body!
When I looked over, I saw Brother Chongzi holding up a flashlight and shining it on a big door!
This gate is so huge that it is jaw-dropping, as if it was used to allow giants to pass through!
Compared to the palace built by the Qiong Snake that everyone saw on the surface before, the difference is like heaven and earth!
Mr. Jiang Hai quickened his pace and took Nangong Manyun and Zhang Fan through the last door together! Everyone stood at the foot of the stone steps, looking at the towering door that seemed to pierce the entire mountain, their eyes filled with surprise and excitement.
"That's right... This is the real gate to Wanku Mountain, the gate to the dragon vein, the source of all mysteries!"
Old man Jiang Hai reached out and touched the stone steps under his feet, as if this was not a dead object, but a living, beautiful life!
Seeing Jiang Hai's feelings about all this, even Zhang Fan couldn't help but sigh! No wonder Jiang Hai, as a mortal, was able to come here! It was because he had complex feelings for this mountain that ordinary people couldn't understand.
Brother Chongzi walked over. He glanced at Jiang Hai's face covered with volcanic ash and coughed lightly, the sound coming from behind the gas mask.
"Everyone, something seems to be wrong with this place! Did you notice that, except for the statues and buildings around the road which are well preserved, everything around the gate seems to have been ravaged by something! It's so tattered and in ruins, what's going on?!"
Following Brother Chongzi’s words, Jiang Hai and others also stepped onto the stairs!
Even old man Jiang Hai was shocked when he saw the ruins that Brother Chongzi had mentioned.
Only the outside pool path and Tianmen can still be seen, and their grandeur can still be seen. The huge black volcanic rocks serve as the main building body of the city wall, supporting this huge ancient city.
But when looking into the city from the top of the steps, one can see countless ruins, and many large buildings are almost collapsed! Judging from the specifications, they are all palaces.
Taoist Zi Jin walked quickly from the gate on the right side of the steps!
"I found that there are traces of large creatures wreaking havoc in this place! But I can't guarantee whether it is a Qiong snake!" Taoist Zi Jin dropped a bombshell as soon as he opened his mouth, causing Jiang Hai and others to tremble.
"This is Qiushe's dojo, he shouldn't destroy his own home!" Zhang Fan expressed his opinion coldly.
"Who could that be!" Brother Chongzi asked with a frown.
"Maybe we are overthinking it!" Nangong Manyun pointed at the surrounding environment: "The smell of sulfur here is so strong, and the temperature is so high! This means that we are very likely on top of a volcano, but this volcano is very dormant, but there is no guarantee that it was not active in the past!"
"You mean, this ancient city was destroyed like this because of a volcanic eruption?" Brother Chongzi asked curiously.
"Yes, this ancient city was built too long ago, so long ago that we have no evidence to investigate the age of the builders. Therefore, time will change many things. A dead volcano turning into an active volcano, or just a minor crustal earthquake, could all destroy this place."
Brother Chongzi touched his chin and said, "So, we are lucky! Many treasures must not have been destroyed."
Taoist Zi Jin glanced at him, especially his eyes resting on the hilt of the sword at his waist, and then he frowned and spoke.
"When I was in the temple in the north, I read some books written by ancient people. There were records of volcanic eruptions in the extremely cold north! Perhaps they were talking about Wanku Mountain."
