Chapter 1710 Nine Gates
Yangcheng County had a population of several hundred thousand before the dimensional storm, but now the population still living in the county is less than 50,000. This is because there are not too many dimensional areas near Yangcheng County, and there are very few forbidden creatures.
There are several dimensional areas in Yangcheng County, but they are not very famous and there has been no news of any big commotion. Before Zhou Wen came here, he read some information about Yangcheng County and guessed that if Kunlun Mountain is nearby, then the most likely place is Xicheng Mountain.
According to legend, Xicheng Mountain was the place where Shang Tang prayed for rain. Locals also call it Shengwangping because the cliffs around it resemble a city, the middle is concave like a basin, and there are four gates in the east, south, west and north.
Xicheng Mountain is a typical karst geological landform, with large and small limestone funnels scattered all over the mountain. There is a local saying that there are "seventy-two Dulong nests, one hundred and twenty-four ghost mills, and three hundred and sixty small iron pots". It is said that the large caves here can accommodate tens of thousands of people.
However, since the dimensional storm, Xicheng Mountain has become more complicated. People who walk in will most likely get lost inside, and no one has seen any dimensional creatures inside.
There are too many dimensional areas like this where no dimensional creatures are produced and the details are unclear. Generally, few people will take the initiative to explore them.
The reason why Zhou Wen suspected that this was the Kunlun Mountain that Liuyun mentioned was because in the information he found on the Internet, someone had actually said that this was the Kunlun Mountain in ancient legends.
However, this statement was only circulated in a small circle and not many people knew about it. Zhou Wen only saw it after searching on the Internet. He had no idea that such a statement existed before.
"Junior brother, you look so radiant, you must be doing very well recently." When Zhou Wen was still looking at Yangcheng County, Liuyun appeared from nowhere and came over with a smile.
"You don't seem to be doing very well." Zhou Wen looked at Liuyun and found that this guy didn't seem to have been promoted to a natural disaster yet.
"There's no other way. The old guy won't let me go to the other dimension. I can only rely on myself. I don't know when I can be promoted to the natural disaster level. In my opinion, I should not waste the resources of the other dimension. It would be so nice to get the benefits without working." Liuyun complained.
Zhou Wen knew that the old guy Liuyun was talking about was Jing Daoxian. It was said that Liuyun seemed to be Jing Daoxian's grandson, but Zhou Wen was not sure whether it was true or not.
"What's going on now?" Although Zhou Wen was very curious about what Jing Daoxian had been doing recently, he knew it was useless to ask, so he simply didn't ask.
"You didn't bring the little bird here?" Liuyun looked at Zhou Wen for a while and suddenly said this.
"What are you bringing it for?" Zhou Wen frowned. Liuyun took the initiative to mention the bird, obviously he had some plans.
"Didn't I tell you? There is a phoenix in Kunlun Mountain. The little bird in your house should be a phoenix, right? Bring it here. Maybe it can recognize each other as relatives and take the sword without fighting." Liuyun said.
"When did you tell me there were phoenixes in Kunlun Mountain?" Zhou Wen glared at him and continued, "Besides, phoenixes aren't necessarily related to each other. How could such a good thing happen?"
Zhou Wen would never bring the bird to a place like Kunlun Mountain to take risks. It would be better to wait for the bird to be promoted to the heaven.
"That's just what I said. Let's go and take a look at the situation first. If you are sure, we will do a big deal. If you are not sure, then we will go back and make a long-term plan." Liuyun said and turned to head towards Xicheng Mountain.
"The Kunlun Mountains you are talking about are not the Xicheng Mountains, right?" Zhou Wen asked as they walked.
"That's right, the road inside is not easy to walk on. Only I, the world's number one thief, can bring people in and out freely. If someone else goes in, even a god in heaven may not be able to get out." Liuyun was very proud, as if that was really the case.
"After such a long time, your abilities haven't improved, but your bragging skills have become more and more powerful." Zhou Wen teased.
"I'm not bragging this time. What is the mythical Kunlun Mountain? It's the hometown of all immortals. Ordinary immortals in Kunlun Mountain are just ordinary mountain people..." The two chatted as they walked and soon arrived in front of Xicheng Mountain.
The Xicheng Mountain is not very steep. The peaks are arranged in a circle like sleeping tigers, and it really looks like a mountain city.
"Xicheng Mountain has four gates, which are now the four entrances to the dimensional realm. But if you really go in through these four gates, you will never see what the real Xicheng Mountain looks like." Liuyun led Zhou Wen to the other side and did not go to the nearest mountain gate.
"Why?" Zhou Wen asked puzzledly.
"There are four visible and five hidden gates. Xicheng Mountain actually has a total of nine gates. Doesn't the Classic of Mountains and Seas say that Kunlun's void is eight hundred miles square and ten thousand feet high. There are wooden grasses on top, five feet long and five feet wide. There are nine wells on the front, with jade fences. There are nine gates on the front, and there are enlightened beasts guarding the gates... If Xicheng Mountain is really Kunlun Mountain, of course there must be nine gates." Liuyun replied.
"What do you mean by if?" Zhou Wen frowned slightly.
"I'm just guessing. Although my guess is almost right, there is always a chance of something happening. I'm a rigorous person and I can't say anything for sure." Liuyun lied.
Zhou Wen was about to say something when Liuyun stopped by a pool leaning against the mountain wall, pointed at the pool and said, "We're here. This is one of the nine gates of Kunlun Mountain. Only by entering from here can you see what the real Kunlun Mountain looks like."
"No rush, let's take a walk first. Didn't you say there are nine gates in total? Then take me to see all nine gates." Zhou Wen glanced at the pool and did not see the small hand pattern nearby.
Zhou Wen didn’t really care whether he could enter Kunlun Mountain or not, but he had to find the little hand pattern.
"Apart from the four gates in the east, south, west and north, I only know of this one. The other gates are hidden in the dark, and I can't find them for the time being. Besides, what's so good about those doors? Isn't it enough to be able to get in?" Liuyun seemed a little anxious when he saw Zhou Wen turn around and leave.
"Why are you in such a hurry?" Zhou Wen turned around and looked at Liuyun.
"Am I anxious?" Liuyun laughed.
"Anxious." Zhou Wen nodded seriously. He felt that something was wrong with Liuyun. He must be hiding something from him.
"Alas, I'm just anxious to get the sword quickly. Look how majestic the Human Emperor is. If I have that sword, my future achievements will definitely not be inferior to the Human Emperor. Maybe I can even get the title of Thief Emperor... Hey, hey... don't go..." Liuyun saw that Zhou Wen actually turned around and left, and hurriedly chased after him.
When Zhou Wen and his companion were wandering around Xicheng Mountain, a woman in green came towards the mountain. She was dressed in ordinary clothes and didn't look very eye-catching, but when you look closely, you can't see what she looks like, and it's even hard to tell what her figure is like.
I wish you all a happy new year and good luck in the Year of the Ox.
