Chapter 486 The world's deception
"You ask, it's okay." Gu Qing smiled slightly.
"I heard Zhao Rui talk about your deeds. I always suspect that you came from Shennongjia, but you are a person who disrespects God and does not believe in gods. This makes me very suspicious. Moreover, Zhao Rui also said that you are hostile to the people in Shennongjia, and your origin is also a mystery, so I want to ask you, where is Kunlun Mountain?"
"Which Kunlun Mountain are you talking about?" Gu Qing asked back.
"Hahaha..." The old man smiled and said to Zhao Rui again, "You go out, I have something to say to him alone."
"I understand." Zhao Rui's eyes were filled with disappointment, but he still listened to the old man's arrangement and walked out of the tent.
"He also wants to go out." The old man pointed at Yang Sheng.
Yang Sheng looked puzzled, but he looked at the old man who was in a twilight age and put down the curtains of the tent and guarded outside.
"You can say it now." Gu Qing looked at the old man.
The old man in the quiet camp looked at Gu Qing, "You ask me where Kunlun Mountain is. I guess you have the answer in your heart, just like me. Let me tell you and I will correspond to each other."
"Okay." Gu Qing nodded, "I suspected a long time ago 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 nothing else in the ice and snow on Kunlun Mountain."
"Information?" The old man was puzzled.
"It's just some experiences." Gu Qing continued to explain, "But the interpretation of Kunlun Mountain on the Mountain and Sea Sutra is full of magicality, so I began to suspect that the so-called Kunlun Mountain in the Mountain and Sea Sutra is not the Kunlun Mountain in the West. The mountains and sea Sutras south of the West Sea, the coast of the quicksand, after the Chishui River, and before the Hei River, there is a mountain called Kunlun Hill. This place may not be what we think. The Great Wilderness Sutra mentioned Jiuge, and I looked for clues in Jiuge, but there were not many annotations in Jiuge."
"There may not be immortality in this world, nor have you ever seen anyone. The so-called Queen Mother of the West may be the profession of the leader of a civilization, just like the emperor here."
"So," the old man had a vicissitudes of smile on his face.
"And there is also a place name written in the Mountains and Seas Classic, that is, Buzhou Mountain." Gu Qing said again, "The Xu of Kunlun in the sea is in the northwest and under the emperor. The Xu of Kunlun is 800 miles in a distance and 10,000 kilometers. The meaning of this sentence is to say that there is a mountain that is as high as ten thousand horses outside the Mountains of Kunlun! It is not difficult to find that this place name is very strange because there is no such mountain near Kunlun Mountain. That is, the Kunlun Mountain in the West is not the legendary Kunlun Mountain. This means that another passage in the Mountains and Seas Classic is that Kunlun Mountain is the dividing line between the world and another world."
"If there is really the 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 deceived all those who want immortality. The legendary Kunlun Mountain, which lives in the Queen Mother of the West, does not exist at all, and there is no so-called immortality in this world."
The tent was quiet for a long time, and the old man fell into deep thought, "Although you said most of the time, you are a little biased and have brought too many speculations."
"What do you think?" Gu Qing asked.
"Old man, my opinion is similar to yours. Eternal life is indeed a lie, but the existence of ancient Kunlun cannot be refuted." The old man whispered, "For many years, people have believed in it for so many years. This is a beautiful dream that many people are pursuing, and it is also something that many people are pursuing. Some lies need to exist, just like in the dark, you can survive as long as you believe in light, and you can run with a goal. Perhaps this goal will not be achieved in this life, but if this goal is broken by someone, it will be a terrible thing."
"There is a great disaster in the world. People pray for the blessing of gods, but are there really gods in this world? No! No, no one has seen it, but people are just willing to believe, and even gods will blame the emperor. This is the world!" The old man said a little excited here, "You can't change it, you can't destroy people's only expectations. Without that expectation, they will only fall into despair. Instead of thinking about changing, it is better for them to live foolishly. This is a waiting and an expectation."
"But I don't believe it. I only believe what I see and what I know is explainable." Gu Qing said.
"Can everything really explain it?" the old man asked again.
"Maybe it can't be explained now, but it can be done in the future." Gu Qing was confident.
"Maybe." The old man nodded.
"There is a world in my heart. The people there are not ignorant. They believe in science and truth and reality. They can walk out of this land and out of the sky until people see this world is very small, as small as a village, and then walk out of the sky to open up a wider world. Believe me, people in thousands of years will wake up, and this lie will be self-defeating."
The old man smiled happily, "Old man, I finally found his heir. When I was young, I gave up, so I was willing to be a tomb guard. My senior brother is a person who is determined to live forever. He also taught many fanatics, who are familiar with it and are not aware that everything is false and a scam. I was extremely disappointed with this world and despair."
"So you became a tomb-seiker?"
"No, I am not a tomb guardian." The old man said helplessly, "To be precise, I am a person who collects corpses for people. Those who are looking for immortality will eventually come to Mangshan. The Yaochi in Kunlun Mountain is a cover, where there is not immortality but a curse, a curse that can entangle people. My senior brother once walked all over the mountains and rivers of the Central Plains because of this curse."
"Your senior brother." Gu Qing shuddered, remembering the old man who was waiting for him that night. He looked at the old man in front of him and felt cold all over. After so many years, he came back. He was the junior brother of Shennongjia. What kind of inheritance is this and what kind of character is their master.
"Your senior brother is obsessed with immortality, but you don't believe it! What kind of master are you?" Gu Qing was puzzled and asked in his heart, "Who are you!"
