Golden Greenery

Yue Mu walked into Zhongnan Mountain's nest for the third time. It had been 152 years since he last went out to find Lao Zhangtou, and it was also the 267th year since he came to this world.

The Tang Dynasty is still there, but no one takes the emperor who is hiding in the dilapidated city of Chang'an seriously. There are wars everywhere in the world. Yue Mu was not afraid of war, but he didn't like it either, so he returned to Zhongnan Mountain.

The cabin was rebuilt, two ridges of land were replanted, and a plum tree was even replanted, all in the same place.

He has searched every corner of the world, but still has no clue about the key or lock to get home. He didn't know where to look next. Thinking that his first memory was here, he wanted to return here and continue waiting.

This wait is a full fifty years.

Time has no meaning to Yue Mu, but it still plays a role in any other world outside the mountain. Fifty years later, the war is still fighting, and the fighting is more intense. The Tang Dynasty is completely gone.

Zhu Wen destroyed the Tang Dynasty and proclaimed himself emperor, named Liang. He was later killed by his own son.

Li Keyong's biological son Li Cunxu killed Liang again. He thought that his surname was also Li, so he also called him Tang. It's just that this Li is not the same Li, and this Tang is not the same as Tang.

Yue Mu's apprentice, Wu Daniu, who was renamed Li Cunxiao, lived in this world for 15 years after leaving his master, and also died. In 15 years, he has never had a single defeat, and he does not even have a five-level general under his command.

When he was 33 years old, he led 18 of his bodyguard cavalry and fought their way in from the Chunming Gate in the east of Chang'an City, and then fought out from the Jinguang Gate in the west. They say that like Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, he is the most invincible general in the world. People say: The king is not as good as Xiang, and the general is not as good as Li.

It should be better than a cow.

Daniu died because he rebelled against his adoptive father Li Keyong. After being captured by a ruse, he was cut into eight pieces. He was 36 years old when he died.

When Yue Mu, who was nestling in the Zhongnan Mountains, heard the news, it was already ten years later. He did not think about revenge for his apprentice, because Li Keyong was also dead at this time, and his biological son Li Cunxu had already died. died.

Yue Mu just hung the silver hibiscus flower with the word "green" engraved on it on the wall of the cabin and stared at it in trance for a long time.

In the niche next to the wall, two wooden signs read crookedly:

——The Immortal Position of Senior Brother Tiangangzi Yuan Tiangang

——Senior Brother Tongxuan Zhenren Zhang Guozhi’s Immortal Position

The 50th year after entering Zhongnan Mountain for the third time,

Someone walked into the wooden house and saw these two tablets, and he smiled.

"Senior, should I call you Yang Yi or Mu Yue?"

"You can just pick one, and don't call me senior, it doesn't sound good."

"Being respectful is worse than obeying orders. How about I dare to call you senior brother?"

"Can."

"Senior brother, I have been looking for you. Poor Taoist Chen Tuan."

The arrival of Chen Tuan allowed Yue Mu, who had lived in seclusion in the mountains for fifty years, to step out of Zhongnan again, because he brought clues about the key or lock.

.

Chen Tuan is a Taoist priest, and the Tao of Lao Yuan and Lao Zhangtou this year, although the Tao of these two people is actually quite different.

When Chen Tuan was studying Lao Yuan and Lao Zhangtou, he discovered the deeds of Yang Yi and Mu Yue from their classics, and he determined that they should be the same person.

Lao Yuan and Lao Zhangtou have Tao fate, and Chen Tuan also has the same Tao fate.

He began to look for Yang Yi or Mu Yue. After discovering that Mu Yue probably went to the Western Regions a hundred years ago, Chen Tuan embarked on a five-year journey westward to explore Mu Yue.

Yue Mu had already lived in seclusion in Zhongnan Mountain at this time, so Chen Tuan naturally had no chance. He returned to the Central Plains two years ago. Based on the experiences of Yuan Tiangang and Zhang Guo who had passed through Zhongnan Mountain, he searched carefully in Zhongnan Mountain again.

Zhongnan Mountain is not a mountain, but a mountain range that stretches for hundreds of miles from east to west and two to three hundred miles from north to south. Even Zhongnan Mountain in a broad sense is connected to Kunlun in the west and Funiu in the east, which is more than a thousand miles from east to west. How can it be easy to find a person hiding in it?

After wandering around for two years, Chen Tuan walked into the cabin under God's will. When he saw Yue Mu and the two tablets, he knew he had found it.

Although Chen Tuan went to the West for five years without meeting Yue Mu, he did not gain anything.

"I went to Kunlun, the real Kunlun. It was on the edge of the sand sea in the far west. There were several huge "Lun"-shaped stone towers."

Yue Mu knew the place he was talking about, he had been there too.

"Kunlun came first, and then Kunlun Mountain came into existence today. In fact, Kunlun is not a mountain at all, but the stone pagoda." Chen Tuan said: "The location of the stone pagoda is completely consistent with the location recorded in the "Book of Mountains and Seas". It is south of the West Sea, The shore of quicksand, behind the red water and before the black water.”

"The Book of Mountains and Seas also records that there is a god in Kunlun, with a human face and a tiger body, with writings and a tail, all white. This god is now beside the stone tower."

Yue Mu knew what Chen Tuan was talking about because he had seen it before.

If the stone tower is not Kunlun, why do all the black Kunlun slaves come from there?

"'Kunlun' is the location of the former imperial capital, so it can never be on the inaccessible snow-covered plateau. There are legends of Xia in the Central Plains, but no traces of Xia can be found because the Xia people originally lived in Kunlun and in the far west. Kunlun, the stone tower of the earth.”

Chen Tuan said: "The ancestors of Shita Kunlun suddenly disappeared 2,600 years ago, and everything in Shita Kunlun was over. And 2,600 years ago, the Yin Shang appeared in the Central Plains."

"It is said in Shita Kunlun that there was a king three thousand years ago, who unified the place and led the Kunlun people to control the floods. They called him the 'Scorpion King'. Three thousand years ago, our ancestors had King Yu, who started Xia."

Is the Scorpion King Dayu?

Chen Tuan's showoff made Yue Mu hurt.

After showing off for a long time, Chen Tuan got to the point.

He met a person in Stone Tower Kunlun, a black Kunlun slave.

He is a dead man, a dead man who has lost himself like Yue Mu and does not belong to this world.

The dead Kunlun slave has a very long name, but his name is shorter - Molihei.

The clues brought by Chen Tuan stunned Yue Mu. Yue Mu had been to the place he was talking about, more than once, and there was nothing too strange about it.

But the second 'dead person' appeared in this world, and for Yue Mu, it was like a thunderbolt that tore a big hole in the sky.

Could he be my key? Will I be his lock? When I meet him, will everything be unlocked?

Of course Yue Mu believed what Chen Tuan said, because he was the same person as Lao Yuan and Lao Zhangtou.

"Junior Brother Chen, I want to go to Kunlun right away to find that Kunlun slave. Let's leave now."

"Senior brother, go ahead, I really can't run anymore... Junior brother, I'm sixty-one this year, please forgive me."

"How would I know who the person named Chen is if you don't go? What if I can't recognize him even if I walk across the street?"

"Senior brother, don't be impatient, everything is God's will. When you see him, you will recognize him naturally. If God's will allows you to miss him, even if I go together, you will never find him again."

Yue Mu suddenly felt that what Chen Tuan said made sense. If it wasn't for God's will, how could he have become a goblin who has lived for 314 years and is still not old?

And Chen Tuan is not tired because of his old age. He should be talking about the principle of destiny.

"Thank you, junior brother, for your advice. Please accept my courtesy."

After living in seclusion for fifty years, Yue Mu once again walked out of Zhongnan Mountain, walked through the Western Regions and reached the vast Western Sea. Go find Kunlun Nu Molihei who comes from the same world as him.
