A scholar of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

In the quiet camp, the old man looked at Gu Qing, "You asked me where Kunlun Mountain is, you must have the answer in your heart like the old man, tell me and we will correspond together."

"Okay." Gu Qing nodded and said, "A long time ago, I suspected that the mountain in the northwest was Kunlun Mountain, and I was very suspicious of everything on Kunlun Mountain, but I have read a lot of information. There is no ice and snow on Kunlun Mountain. There's nothing else."

"Information?" the old man was puzzled.

"It's just some knowledge." Gu Qing continued to explain, "But the interpretation of Kunlun Mountain in the Book of Mountains and Seas is full of magic, so I began to suspect that the so-called Kunlun Mountain in the Book of Mountains and Seas is not the Kunlun Mountain in the west at all. In the scriptures, south of the West Sea, on the shore of the quicksand, behind the Chishui River, and before the Black River, there is a big mountain called Kunlun Hill. This place may not be the place we think. The Nine Songs are mentioned in the Great Wilderness West Sutra. I have found clues in Jiu Ge, but there are not many annotations in Jiu Ge."

"Maybe there is no immortality in this world, and I have never seen anyone who lives forever. The so-called Queen Mother of the West may be the self-proclaimed leader of a civilization, just like the emperor here."

"Go on." The old man had a vicissitudes of smile on his face.

"And there is another place name written in the Shan Hai Jing, and that is Buzhou Mountain." Gu Qing said again, "The Kunlun in the sea is in the northwest, the capital under the emperor. The meaning of this sentence is to say that there is a high mountain eight hundred miles away from Kunlun Mountain, Buzhou Mountain! Combining the two, it is not difficult to find that this place name is very strange, because there is no place near Kunlun Mountain. There is no such thing as the existence of this mountain, that is, the Kunlun Mountain in the west is not the Kunlun Mountain in the legend at all. This also shows another passage in Shan Hai Jing that Kunlun Mountain is the link between the world and another world. dividing line."

"If there is really a legendary ancient Kunlun Mountain, then the Kunlun Mountain in the west is likely to be a cover. This is a huge scam." Gu Qing said, "A scam that deceives all those who want to live forever, the legend The Kunlun Mountain where the Queen Mother of the West lives in the book does not exist at all, and there is no so-called longevity in this world."

The tent was quiet for a long time, and the old man fell into deep thought, "Although what you said is mostly correct, it is a bit biased, and it also contains too many speculations."

"What do you think?" Gu Qing asked.

"Old man, my opinion is similar to yours. Longevity is indeed a lie, but the existence of Gu Kunlun cannot be refuted." The old man said in a low voice, "How many years, people have believed it for so many years, this is a lie that many people are doing The dream that many people are pursuing is also something that many people are pursuing. Some lies need to exist, just like in the dark, you only need to believe in the light and you can live. You can run if you have a goal. Maybe this goal will not be achieved in this life But if this goal is broken, it will be a terrible thing."

"There is a catastrophe in the world, people pray for the protection of the gods, but is there really a god in this world? No! No, no one has seen it, but people are willing to believe that there will even be gods to blame the emperor. This is This world!" The old man said with a little excitement here, "You can't change it, you can't destroy people's only hope, without that hope they will only fall into despair, instead of thinking about changing, it's better for them to be ignorant. To be alive, this is a waiting, but also an expectation."

"But I don't believe it. I only believe what I see and what I know. Everything can be explained." Gu Qing said.

"Can everything really be explained?" the old man asked again.

"Maybe it can't be explained now, but it will be possible in the future." Gu Qing was determined in his heart.

"Maybe." The old man nodded.

"There is a world in my heart, where people are not ignorant, they believe in science and truth, they believe in reality, they can go out of this land, out of the sky, until people see this world as small, as small as Like a village, and then go out of the sky to open up a wider world, believe me, people will wake up after thousands of years, and this lie will be self-defeating."

The old man smiled very happily, "Old man, I have finally found an heir. I gave up when I was young, so I am willing to be a gravekeeper. My brother is a person who wants to live forever. He He also taught many fanatics who didn't know that everything was false and a scam. At the beginning, the old man was very disappointed and despaired of this world."

"So you became a tomb collector?"

"No, the old man is not the guardian of the tomb." The old man said helplessly, "To be exact, the old man is a person who collects corpses for others. Those who are looking for longevity will eventually come to Mang Mountain. The Yaochi in Kunlun Mountain is just a cover. It's not longevity but a curse, a curse that entangles people all over the body, my senior brother used to travel all over the mountains and rivers of the Central Plains because of this curse."

"Your senior brother." Gu Qing shivered, thinking of the old man who was waiting for him that night, seeing the old man in front of him with chills all over his body, and after so many years, he came back again. He is the junior in Shennongjia. What kind of inheritance is it, and who is their master.

"Your senior brother is obsessed with longevity, but you don't believe it! What kind of sect are you guys?" Gu Qing was full of doubts, "Who are you!"

"We are mortals." The old man looked at Gu Qing with a smile, "You are very good, the old man has been waiting for you for so many years, and I invite you to go to Mangshan with me."

Chapter 488 Ancient Scroll

"Wait!" Gu Qing interrupted him, "Are we familiar? Why should I go to Mount Mang with you?"

"We just talked so much..."

"Grandpa, this is your fault." Gu Qing said leisurely, "The two of us have never met before, but you suddenly asked me to follow you to Mangshan, and said very deeply that you have waited for me for many years. I suspect that you want to take me to the deep mountains, and then chop it up and eat me up."

"So it's all for nothing?" The corner of the old man's mouth twitched violently.

"Not so bad." Gu Qing nodded seriously, "Think about it, if a stranger suddenly tells you that you are him, he has been waiting for you for many years and wants you to sit at his house and have a meal by the way , I will suspect that person will poison the food."

"I don't have any food or drink to greet you."

"There are also traps, poisonous smoke, hidden weapons..."

……

The old man: "I have no malice."

Gu Qing: "People's hearts are not ancient."

The old man: "The old man is sincere."

Gu Qing: "The world is hot and cold, so be careful not to be careful."

The old man: "Farewell!"

"No." Gu Qing waved lazily.

Just as the old man was about to leave angrily, he stopped and stood there for a long time.

"Did you leave anything behind?" Gu Qing asked suspiciously.

The old man turned around and sat down in his original seat, "Why did the old man wait for such a person? That's all! The old man will sit here until you want to go to Mangshan."

"Grandpa, Pengci is not what you play, we are strangers, you don't have to deal with me like this." Gu Qing was a little impatient, "Do you have any family members? I will ask your family members to pick you up. Where's the young master? I'll let him take you back."

"No need." The old man continued, "Unless you go to Mount Mang."

"Mangshan..." Gu Qingchang sighed, "Whatever you like, I still have a lot of things to do, so you should rest for now."

Seeing Gu Qing walk out of the tent, the old man sighed again.

Zhao Rui, the second son of the Zhao family, saw Gu Qing coming out and stopped him, "Gu Qing, what did he say to you?"

"You brought the person here. Now you turn around and ask what the old man said to me. Mr. Zhao, you embarrass me like this." Gu Qing vigorously shook the fan in his hand, "Hurry up and give me the person." Take him away, I don’t have time to take care of him, besides, I don’t want to go to Mang Mountain, so I’m still desperately asking me to go.”

"Is it true that he asked you to go to Mount Mang?" Zhao Rui stopped Gu Qing excitedly.

"What's wrong with you?"

"Is it true?" Zhao Rui asked again.

"A group of inexplicable people." Gu Qing avoided him.

"Stop!" Zhao Rui yelled again, and in the middle of speaking, he felt that he was a little rude, and hurried forward and said, "He is just an old man in his dying years, and his time is numbered. Maybe this is his last wish. You Why don't you agree? What kind of threat does an old guy pose to you?"

"Let me think about it." Gu Qing said discouragedly, "You don't know what happened these days, do you?"

"I know, in fact, many inexplicable people have come to Mang Mountain." Zhao Rui replied.

"That's right." Gu Qing continued, "Give me some time to think about it."

"Gu Qing!" Zhao Rui stopped him again.

"You're never finished!" Gu Qing yelled out annoyed and suppressed.

"Please, just take a trip to Mount Mang!" Zhao Rui said, "There are some things that he doesn't want to tell me until he dies. Maybe he has already told you all. In my heart, he is my grandfather. He taught me everything. I have a lot of reasons, I just hope you can satisfy him, now he may die of old age at any time, I don't want this to become his last wish."

"Let's go." Yang Sheng stood aside and said, "This matter has been entangled with you for so long, and there must be a conclusion."

"Let me think about it!" Gu Qing walked outside the barracks, looking at the vast Qinling Mountains alone.
