Meet the Gentleman

Chapter 978: Return to ancient mythology, or go to the other side of the starry sky?

what is this?
Yan Qing's eyes widened slightly, and a look of disbelief appeared on his face.

How could there be light coming out from Mount Tai?
at this time.

He was not like other tourists who were frightened and ran around like a headless fly.

Because on Mount Tai, no one can escape.

To escape or not to escape.

The end result is the same.

but.

I saw huge pieces of mountain breaking apart at my feet, making loud noises.

It still made him feel terrified.

I don't know when, my forehead was covered with cold sweat.

Rumble!
Mountains collapsed and the earth cracked, as if the world was ending.

All the roads around had been cut off, and only Yan Qing was standing alone on the top of the Jade Emperor Peak, his feet trembling slightly.

Finished!

The surrounding mountains continued to collapse.

All roads were blocked and he had nowhere to escape.

Moreover, as the surrounding mountains continued to collapse, the area under his feet became smaller and smaller.

Shortly after.

The mountain under my feet collapsed and slid down.

The light bursting out from below became more dazzling, but not glaring, and instead appeared very soft.

but.

He suddenly realized.

I was actually standing on an extremely huge white jade pillar.

Rumble!
The earth is shaking.

The mountain that had slid down.

At this moment, it continued to slide in all directions, as if some huge monster was slowly rising from under the original Mount Tai...

And he stood alone on a white jade pillar that was a thousand meters high.

Just one glance downwards and my legs immediately began to tremble, I felt dizzy and like I was going to fall.

I rely on!

Although he is not afraid of heights, anyone would be afraid to stand on top of a giant pillar thousands of meters high.

call--

At this moment, Yan Qing took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

Don't dare to move.

However, there were no safety measures in place while standing on a giant pillar thousands of meters high.

No one can really calm down.

If I were a little more timid, I would have fainted from fright.

At this time, he closed his eyes and tried not to think about his situation, but the more he did this, the stronger the thoughts in his mind became and it was difficult to overcome them.

But at this moment.

He became very confused.

How could Mount Tai hide a giant white jade pillar thousands of meters high? It was also emitting dazzling white light...

How is this going?

Could it be that...the collapse of Mount Tai is related to the stone pillar?

In his confusion, he could not help but walk towards the pillar and look down carefully. Then he was stunned. He saw that under the white jade pillar was an extremely huge white jade ship, at least several thousand meters long...

And myself.

Then stand on the top of the mast of the stone ship.

Seeing the huge white jade ship shining brightly with white light, Yan Qing took a breath and was deeply shocked.

"this?"

At this moment, Yan Qing was shocked and couldn't recover for a long time.

This white jade ship that was emitting white light was slowly rising. The ship was pure white and emitted a faint holy light.

It looks extremely sacred.

"Under Mount Tai... there is actually a huge stone ship hidden?"

Yan Qing was a little dazed.

I really can't believe my eyes.

The stone boat is simple and unpretentious, exuding a desolate and antiquated atmosphere.

It seems to come from the mythical world.

Very mysterious.

now.

It is rising little by little, moving slowly towards the depths of the sky, as if it is about to leave the earth.

This is truly shocking.

Yan Qing, who was standing on the top of the mast, suddenly changed his expression. The stone boat was leaving?
What about me?

He was a little frozen at this moment. What should he do?
However, he did not dare to move, for fear that he would accidentally fall off the top of the column and be smashed to pieces.

call--

Yan Qing took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, while quickly searching for ways to save himself in his mind.

but.

In a blink of an eye.

He found that the stone ship had flown into the earth's atmosphere. At this moment, he was dumbfounded and almost lost the ability to think.

"This……"

His mind went blank.

When he came to his senses again, he found that the stone ship had flown out of the atmosphere and into space.

"This……"

Yan Qing's eyes were a little dull.

The flying speed of the stone ship is really too fast.

It only takes three to five seconds to get from the ground to space, which is countless times faster than a rocket. There is simply no comparison.

The main thing is.

He didn't feel the stone boat moving.

It seems that the stone ship has been standing still...

At this moment, he was sitting on a giant pillar, gazing at the brilliant starry sky, and gradually calmed down.

"It's strange. I didn't fall down at such a high speed?" Yan Qing was a little suspicious. "Also, when entering the atmosphere, the high-speed friction between the stone ship and the atmosphere didn't burn me into charcoal?"

"What exactly is going on?"

At this moment, he couldn't help but look back and saw the huge earth getting smaller and smaller in front of his eyes.

It gave him a very unreal and absurd feeling.

In space.

Business as usual.

Yan Qing didn't feel any discomfort at all, just like he was on the earth.

However, as he watched the earth getting smaller and smaller before his eyes, he felt an indescribable bitterness in his heart.

For no apparent reason, he left the Earth.

After a while.

The stone ship flew out of the solar system.

Yan Qing looked at the starry sky in front of him which was becoming increasingly colder, and felt a little desperate.

Where will this stone boat take me?
This is a journey into the unknown.

He didn't know, was the stone boat carrying him back to ancient mythology or to the other side of the starry sky?
"Forget it. If you survive a disaster, you will have good fortune in the future!"

slowly.

Yan Qing had no choice but to accept it.

"We can't just sit here forever, we have to get off the boat..."

Yan Qing regained his previous composure, frowned and looked around, then carefully stuck his head out to observe the stone boat below.

This stone ship...

Could it be built by aliens?
he thought.

I wonder how many years it has been hidden under Mount Tai?
Where is it going?

Do you want to return to the aliens’ homeland?

Shortly after.

Yan Qing realized that he was thinking too far, so he slapped his head. Now the first thing he had to solve was how to land on the boat safely.

"sail?"

His eyes fell on the huge canvas.

The canvas is also pure white, emitting tiny dots of light in the dark starry sky, looking very mysterious.

……

……

after an hour.

Yan Qing finally landed on the deck.

However, he looked at the top of the pillar in a daze, feeling that he had fallen down for no apparent reason.

Logically speaking, falling from a thousand-meter-high pillar should be a near-death experience, but he was inexplicably safe...

He shook his head.

Also, he couldn't quite remember the details of falling from the top of the pillar.

At this moment he didn't think much about it and looked at the stone boat curiously.

The stone boat is spotlessly white.

The soft white light makes people feel very comfortable...

It seems to be made of huge white jade strips, emitting a faint holy light.

just.

These stones...

It looks a little weird, but I can't tell what's wrong.

Yan Qing squinted his eyes and looked at it, but he was extremely shocked in his heart. This ship was really too huge.

An ancient stone sailing ship actually flew out of space and sailed in the boundless starry sky.

It seems like a fantasy just thinking about it!
"Is anyone here?" Yan Qing looked around and walked around cautiously.

Although the stone boat exuded a holy light, it gave him a weird feeling.

It seems that there is some terrifying existence hiding in the stone boat.

Called a few times.

There was no response from the stone ship.

but.

This was what he expected.

The stone ship was very large and the deck was very empty, and it seemed very quiet under the starry sky.

Or.

There was dead silence, not a trace of life.

Yan Qing looked around and found that there were many scratches on it like swords and knives.

It seemed like it had experienced an extremely fierce battle.

However, there was nothing to see on the deck, so he walked towards the cabin, but after taking a few steps, he suddenly stopped.

He felt a sense of oppression, as if something was stopping him from moving forward.

"Hey, what's going on?"

Yan Qing was slightly surprised.

At this time, he looked at the entrance of the cabin, but it was dark inside.

Can't see clearly.

He thought about it and took another dozen steps forward.

but.

The feeling of oppression became stronger and stronger, causing him to feel creepy.

As we got closer to the cabin.

That feeling of oppression seemed to turn into a terrifying pressure.

Every step he took was extremely difficult, as if a mountain was pressing down on him, making it impossible for him to move forward.

"What's in the cabin?"

While Yan Qing was curious, he felt an ominous feeling in his heart.

See so.

He did not force his way closer to the cabin, but slowly backed away.

At this time, he was standing on the deck at the bow, looking up at the starry sky.

He saw the vast universe and the endless starry sky, filled with coldness, darkness and deathly silence, which suddenly gave rise to a sense of loneliness in his heart.

The stone boat is like a lonely ant.

Crawling slowly in the dark, cold and boundless universe, it seems very lonely.

This is an unknown journey, and no one knows where the stone ship is going.

Yan Qing walked slowly beside the boat.

I look at the colorful starry sky from time to time, wondering what I am thinking.

"I am probably the only one in history who can travel through space like this?"

Yan Qing said.

as time goes by.

In the vast universe, Yan Qing felt more and more lonely and isolated, and even spoke to himself.

finally.

He decided to explore the cabin to see what was inside.

Step by step closer.

That feeling of oppression once again turned into pressure falling on my body, as if I was carrying a mountain on my shoulders.

but.

He gritted his teeth and continued walking forward.

Huhu——

Sweating profusely and gasping for breath.

However, Yan Qing did not stop and continued to move forward step by step.

The cabin was getting closer.

Looking around, it seems vaguely visible inside.

"Hey, what is that?"

After a while.

Yan Qing saw a huge object in the cabin, shaped like a rectangular block.

puff--

Yan Qing couldn't bear the pressure.

A mouthful of blood spurted out and splashed onto the white deck, and his face turned pale.

……

……

"What on earth is that?"

"It looks like an enlarged version of a coffin..."

Yan Qing lay on the deck at the bow to rest, thinking about everything about the stone ship.

The stone boat seems to be something from mythology and has a magical power.

I don’t know how much time has passed.

Maybe three days.

Or maybe five days.

Yan Qing didn't try to remember it, so he didn't remember it very clearly.

After not eating or drinking water for a few days, he became extremely thin and his eyes no longer had the same luster as before.

now.

He walked away again.

"What a coffin!"

When Yan Qing saw clearly what was inside, he was shocked.

The ancient coffin is simple and unadorned.

But it is very huge, exuding a shocking and mysterious aura.

There are some vague ancient patterns on the coffin, which are full of the vicissitudes of time and make people feel endless desolation and antiquity.

Who is buried in the coffin?

Yan Qing was extremely surprised. He actually needed such a huge coffin. Could it be a Titan?
At this moment, he was staring at the ancient bronze coffin. Gradually, the ancient patterns on the ancient bronze coffin began to become clear.

It seems to be right in front of you, composed of several pictures.

Yan Qing was stunned for a moment, then began to observe carefully.

but.

Even though the engravings have become clearer, they are still too old and the traces are a bit blurry, so they are not very clear.

The first picture is engraved:

There are countless magnificent and mysterious palaces. Each palace is huge, shining with a sacred aura, which is awe-inspiring.

Outside the temple.

There are also rows of heavenly soldiers and generals guarding behind them with great power.

It seems to be the temple of the gods.

But at this time, even the armor on their bodies gradually became clearly visible.

This made Yan Qing stunned.

seem……

What I was looking at was not an ancient engraving.

They are real palaces...

The second picture is engraved:

There are countless mountains, looming in the sea of ​​clouds, looking very elegant.

It is just like the legendary fairy mountain.

The third picture is inscribed:

Above the dark land, there was a huge blood-red devil moon hanging in the sky, and there were terrifying figures on the horizon.

As hideous as a devil.

The fourth picture is inscribed:

Under a ten-foot-tall Bodhi tree, sat a very young monk, with the Buddha's light behind him shining in all directions.

The fifth picture is inscribed:

The sky, the earth, and the ocean are all filled with groups of ferocious birds and beasts.

The sixth picture is inscribed:

A strong man with an axe on his back stood on the ground and broke the void with one punch...

The seventh picture is inscribed:

I saw only wind, fire, thunder, and lightning...

The eighth picture is inscribed:

Hundreds of ghosts roam at night.

The ninth picture is inscribed:

A group of scholars sat in the yard and discussed theories...

After reading the nine engravings on the ancient bronze coffin, Yan Qing immediately retreated, but he was somewhat shocked.

The nine carvings on the ancient bronze coffin seem to represent something.

The first one represents the Temple of the Gods?
The second picture represents endless fairy mountains?
The third one represents the bloody devil moon?
The fourth picture represents the Buddha’s light shining everywhere?
The fifth picture represents the rampant evil spirits?
The sixth picture represents Wu Po Xukong?
The seventh picture represents wind, fire, thunder and lightning?
The eighth picture represents the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons?
The ninth picture represents the discussion of various philosophers?
When Yan Qing sorted out the nine pictures with a few words, he discovered an astonishing mystery.

"The Temple of the Gods represents 'Gods', the Endless Fairy Mountain represents 'Fairies', and the next ones should be Demons, Buddhas, Monsters, and Warriors. But what does the seventh one, Wind, Fire, Thunder, and Lightning, represent?"

Yan Qing frowned and thought.

However, I couldn't think of a suitable word to describe it at the moment.

"The eighth and ninth ones should represent ghosts and Confucian scholars. Immortals, demons, gods and Buddhas, this seems to be the rhythm of mythology..."

Is it...

Is this stone ship going to carry the ancient bronze coffin back to a mythical world?
