1172 Chapter 1,168, too easy to mend a mountain (second update)
The Dragon Qilin, Yan ‘er, and the little earth count turned their heads and saw an old man dressed in plain clothes carrying a small iron bucket and staggering over. There was water in the small iron bucket and a willow branch.
The dragon qilin looked around in surprise. The twenty-eight heavens in the azure azure glazed sky were still there, still guarding this place. It was not easy to pass through this world’s number one treasure, the heavens!
But where did this old man come from?
The old man came to the cracked Big Black Peak, put down the small iron bucket, and took out the willow branch inside. He swept the water in the bucket and said breathlessly, “I’m old, why aren’t you helping me?”
The Dragon Qilin hurriedly transformed into the head of a qilin and landed on the top of the mountain. Yan ‘er transformed into a young girl and also came to the side of the old man. The small earth count’s expression was solemn, and he also intended to change. He snorted twice, but was unable to change, he could only walk over dejectedly.
The old man handed the Willow Branch to the Dragon Qilin and let Yan ‘er carry the small metal bucket. He said, “Use the willow branch to hold the water and sprinkle it on the cracks. Sprinkle all the cracks once. This is to prevent that thing from the past from running over here.”
The dragon qilin obeyed and used the willow branch to sweep the water in the bucket. He then pulled out the willow branch and threw the water on the crack in the mountain.
“What?”The Little Earth count raised its head and looked at the plain-looking old man with a serious expression.
“I’ve always lived here. I didn’t barge in.”
The old man had a kind look on his face as if he understood what it was asking. He smiled and said, “I’m not an intruder. You guys are the intruders. You barged into my house, built a house, and even attracted Void Beasts.”
The Little Earth count was puzzled. “Moo?”
The old man sat next to it and supervised the Dragon Qilin and Yan ‘er. He said loudly, “Be careful. Don’t empty the water. This water is not easy to find.”
He said to the little earth count, “I could have left, but I was not welcomed. Moreover, this tree is dead. Someone wants to climb here from the past through this tree. “I can only stay and guard here. I Can’t let them climb out.”
The Little Earth count was puzzled. He pointed to the foot of the mountain and said, “Moo?”
“Yes.”
The old man nodded. “They live down there, but they have been dead for a long time. Or rather, they died before the birth of this universe.”
The Little Earth count was even more confused. He scratched his head and said, “What?”
“It’s not that you can’t say that.”
The old man thought for a moment, he said, “The boundary between life and death is actually not that strict. “Life and death are just different states of matter. They seem to have died when the universe was destroyed, but they were still alive before the universe was destroyed. As long as they can seize the opportunity to crawl from the past to the present before the universe was destroyed, they can survive.”
The small earth count scratched his head, still puzzled.
That old man had a good temper, he continued to explain, “Why did the corpses of these void beasts disappear? “They were pulled into the past. The past universe had a part of the present matter, so they could take the opportunity to replace it. “This is the reason why they were able to crawl from there to the present.”
“Moo?”
“There’s no need to doubt it. It’s very simple. This big black wood is still alive. Its roots are connected to 16 universe eras. One universe era is a year, and its material has been through countless years.”
The old man explained patiently, “Some terrifying creatures had designs on it. They followed its roots and climbed from the past to the present. “It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand. Think about the heavenly venerate mu who created you. He brought you back to the past on the ghost ship, and you’ll understand.”
The Dragon Qilin and Yan ‘er sprinkled water with the willow branches and returned to the mountain top. They saw the old man still talking to the little earth count, talking about some unknown topic.
The Dragon Qilin put the willow branches into the small iron bucket and returned it to the old man. The old man stood up and supported himself with both hands, stretching his muscles and bones, he sighed and said, “This is also my sin, so I can only stay here to repair it. It’s not your Celestial Master’s fault. The water is almost gone, so I have to get some more. Thank you, Little Friends. See you another day.”
The Dragon Qilin was about to speak, but he saw the old man leave with the small iron bucket and quickly disappear.
“Another strange incident!”Yan ‘er said in fear.
She did not see how the old man disappeared.
At this moment, the Big Black Mountain suddenly let out a rumble. The cracks closed and the Big Black Mountain returned to its original state. Even the five scratches on the mountain disappeared.
That night, the Dragon Qilin and Yan ‘er left the small earth count on the Black Mountain. The strange phenomenon reappeared, and all kinds of strange phenomena came in waves. It was as if there was a huge creature trying to break through the mountain peak, madly crashing outwards, the tremors caused the mountain to shake violently.
However, the mountain did not crack open. The torment only gradually stopped in the second half of the night.
At dawn, the Dragon Qilin looked around and saw that two more mountain peaks in the Hundred Thousand Mountains had cracked open. There was even a face-shaped dent on the inner wall of one of the mountain peaks!
He and Yan ‘er were discussing whether there was someone growing inside the mountain when they saw a handsome little woman carrying a small iron bucket walking over. She waved at them and said, “We meet again.”
The two of them were bewildered.
The woman put down the small iron bucket, she said with a chuckle, “Yesterday, that body was too old and couldn’t do anything. Today, let’s change to a younger one. Today, I brought more water and an extra willow branch. The two mountains have split open, so the repair time might be a little longer.”
The Dragon Qilin opened his mouth wide and stammered, “Wife, are you that old man from yesterday?”
The woman smiled and said, “It’s him, but it’s not him. I hope that the three of you can help me. Hurry up and mend it so that they won’t run out when it gets dark.”
The Dragon Qilin and Yan ‘er immediately went forward to help. The dragon qilin lifted the willow branch and sprinkled water on it. He said carefully, “May I ask where you came from, Little Wife?”
The woman smiled and said, “I’m the same as all of you. I’m just an ordinary person. I’m also born and raised. “However, our ways of living are different. I’m more tired, so I’ll go and fix a leak somewhere. I’ll go and mend a spot where it’s broken. It’s all hard work.”
The Dragon Qilin and Yan ‘er helped her fix the two mountains. The water in the bucket was also used up. The woman sighed and said, “My spring doesn’t produce much water. If it cracks a few more mountains, there won’t be any water to mend it.”
She carried the small iron bucket and left, while the two Black Mountains closed on their own and returned to their original state.
The dragon qilin saw her disappear just like that, and he was even more surprised. He thought to himself, “This big black wood doesn’t seem like a good place. It scares people to the point that they can’t sleep every night. Should I tell the cult master to choose another Good Place?”
Another night passed. The earth shook and the mountains shook, and more than a dozen Black Mountains split open. The dragon qilin saw more than ten youths with small iron buckets in their hands. Willow branches were inserted into the buckets.
One of the youths said to him, “Help me sprinkle water these few days, and I’ll give you a benefit. A new void mother has been born, and it’s still very weak. Now is a good opportunity to subdue the void mother.”
The Dragon Qilin was greatly moved, and said, “How to subdue the Void Mother?”
The youth said with a smile that wasn’t a smile, “Didn’t your cult master already teach you?”
The dragon qilin carefully recalled what Qin Mu had taught him. After a long while, he finally remembered that there was a method to subdue the void mother beast in three walls upper consciousness and great Luo’s supreme divine consciousness. His heart calmed down and he smiled. “May I ask Dao Brother, where is that Void Mother Beast Now?”
