Such and such, such and such.
Yue Guanchao and the others used their hands and feet to explain clearly the news they had inquired about with Lao Xi. When Song Siyuan heard this, she had suppressed part of her shock, but her eyes were still full of surprise.
"What you mean is that the old god of the Qinling Mountains is actually the East Prince. He is the Yang God consort of the Queen Mother of the West in ancient mythology. At the same time, he guards the ghost gate of East Kunlun and plays the role of transferring souls from east to west and from south to north and governing the destiny of the world. Over the course of thousands of years, with the decline of ancient myths and the rise of new myths, his main godhead was elevated to the title of Emperor Donghua, while the remaining distractions remained in the Qinling Mountains and were alienated by the rural people into the Qinling Old God, becoming the Qinling Old God. The protector of the Qinling Mountains!"
After Song Siyuan finished speaking, Yue Guanchao and the three of them nodded hard.
"If we go by what the old blind man said, Cave Mountain is probably the place where the souls of the world remain. Then the Soul Palace outside Cave Mountain is surrounded by tens of millions of soul mist, does that mean it was built at the Ghost Gate?"
She looked at the crowd and took out her collecting notes: "In the past few days, Mr. Tang has been mentioning all kinds of news about Kushan. It may be because he is old and there are always ambiguities in his words. What's more, There are some inconsistencies, so if I have time in the past half day, I will sort out the information we got from him starting from the first time he mentioned Caoshan."
"After my compilation, the steps to enter Cave Mountain were completely spelled out from just a few phrases."
According to Mr. Tang, the Ten Thousand Eyes Cave they saw has been around since ancient times. The caves exposed in the mountains of the Qinling Mountains are only the name Wanyan Cave Mountain, and they are part of the labyrinth that must be passed before entering the Ten Thousand Eyes Cave Mountain. The cave, the real cave mountain, needs to go around the cave to truly see it!
At the same time, combined with the description of the Ghost Gate in East Kunlun, it is very likely that the Soul Palace is built in the Ghost Gate. It is precisely because the Soul Palace is protected by the Ghost Gate that the ghosts of the 100,000 slaves who were killed around the cave mountain are still there. Ten thousand wronged souls form a soul mist that swallows all living creatures.
The soul mist is the palace soul produced to protect the soul palace.
They seem to be living things with self-awareness. Under the protection of these soul mist, the soul palace and the real cave mountain have become forbidden places that no one can approach. Their soul mist extends to thousands of caves on the surface, forming Some kind of barrier prevents living people from entering Cave Mountain.
If you want to enter the cave and find the real cave mountain, you must use six animals to sacrifice to the ancient gods. At the same time, you must use corpse oil to eliminate the human breath and disguise yourself as the undead. In this way, you can successfully bypass the Ten Thousand Eyes Cave on the surface. Go to the real Manyan Cave Mountain located deep in the center of the earth.
However, at this point, it is true that you can see the Ten Thousand Eyes Cave Mountain. If you want to go further to find the Soul Palace, you must unravel the prophecy of the Ancestral Soul Palace, which is the four-character ballad that the old man chanted.
"Uncle Tang, is this what you mean when you say these days?"
Song Siyuan looked at Tang Baoguan. The old man fumbled with his cane, knocked on the ground and praised: "Woman, you are right. Over the past few decades, my ability to speak has deteriorated. I have been talking nonsense these days. After a while, No living person can see the cave mountain, and then he points to the Wanyan Cave and says it is the Wanyan Cave Mountain, but you must not understand."
"In the final analysis, this woman has the most complete meaning. The information she compiled is exactly what I want to say."
With Tang Baoguan's confirmation, everyone's doubts about Kushan these days have become much clearer. Yue Qingshan puffed on his dry pipe and sighed: "According to what my daughter said, this Soul Palace is built on the Ghost Gate. Could it be that the Soul Palace is really the underworld built in the ghost gate?"
"If you explain it this way, it also confirms what Brother Tang said that the Soul Palace is invisible to the living, and indeed only the dead can see the underworld."
When everyone heard Uncle Yue mention this, their hearts became heavy and they took a deep breath.
"Since the Soul Palace is for praying for blessings, why was it built in such a vicious place?"
Tang Dayang vaguely remembered that the Soul Palace was obviously used by the Li Tang royal family to summon souls in the country. It was somewhat unreasonable to build the Soul Palace in the evil ghost gate when they wanted to pray for blessings.
"No, no, as the saying goes, blessings and misfortunes are interdependent, yin and yang are interdependent, and good and bad are interdependent. It is not impossible for this evil place to be turned into auspicious place in Feng Shui. Yuan Li is also a Feng Shui master. They all have the ability to observe the wind and change the water. At the same level, maybe Li Tang Jiangshan Guozuo only had a few decades, but they used this evil technique to allow Li Tang to live for another three hundred years."
Sun Daqiao's Feng Shui theory gave them some new ideas. Yue Guanchao nodded to everyone: "Sun Daqiao is right. In short, the cave mountain is not a good thing, and the soul palace is not a good thing. Now something else has been added." Kunlun Earth Gate, I am one head and two older now, why do I feel so mysterious when I go to the Soul Palace this time!"
After saying that, Yue Guanchao lowered his voice and looked at the crowd: "You guys think there might be some kind of ghost hidden in this Qinling Mountains?"
No one can guarantee whether this is true. Song Siyuan shook her head: "We can't be sure yet. What we have come into contact with is just folklore. We don't even know whether the soul mist is a living thing or something else. The only thing we can know now is, It’s the things in the corpse oil that can restrain the soul mist, making them temporarily ineffective, allowing us to see the Ten Thousand Eyes Cave Mountain.”
"As for other situations, we don't know anything about it. We can only consider it when we are near the cave!"
