Chapter 1188 Kunlun
(Note: All the plots about Cudgel and Kunlun written in this chapter are all plots that need to be modified, not the original setting of Marvel, hereby declare)
Gunsou has been away from this land for many years, and he never thought that he would come back here in his lifetime. There are too many memories here, both good and bad.
This place in China is the origin and foundation of everything. This is where my strength comes from. My own happiness also comes from this.
He still remembers the vast and boundless land of the Western Regions of China. The majestic and majestic mountains. That dreadful wilderness.
And the grapes that are as sweet as honey juice, honeydew melon. And the mutton pilaf and baked naan shops that can be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys.
Of course, there is also the sacred mountain that I have been revering for so many years: Kunlun.
Originally, he was an ordinary apprentice practicing in Kunlun. That was very, very many years ago. At that time, this land was still experiencing warlords' melee in the Central Plains. At that time, a man named Zhang Tong almost unified the whole country.
Even Gun Sou, who was far away in the Western Regions at that time, knew about it. Because even the warlords in the Western Regions were considering surrendering to the Central Plains King Zhang Tong.
Gun Sou, who was only a teenager at the time, didn't know much about war, about leaders, and about politics. But in that chaotic era, the old man desperately hoped that someone could end this chaotic world.
Even if you can become the emperor again. As long as the war is over. It's a pity that the sky doesn't follow people's wishes. This man who almost unified China was really only a little bit close in the end.
On the eve of reunification, Zhang Tong disappeared. His army split up and fought independently, and split into more small warlords of different factions. They made the already chaotic land even more chaotic.
Only a teenage stick is wandering in this world, just wanting to find a place where he can settle down.
Until he met the Kunlun warriors who came down the mountain from Kunlun and came to the world of mortals to practice. After seeing them driving away bandits and robbers and defeating warlord soldiers who were more fierce and ruthless than horse thieves, the young stick man was eager to join their group and become a member of them.
He paid a lot for this. In order to find the legendary Kunlun Mountains. Carrying dry food and a water bag, he started his endless search in the vast Western Regions. He climbed countless high mountains and waded through swift and dangerous rivers.
In the process of searching for Kunlun Mountain, he also did many things and helped many people. Perhaps it is the so-called sincerity where gold and stones are opened. It took Gunsou three years to finally find the way to Kunlun Mountain.
It is a hidden place. Originally, I should practice there with peace of mind, avoiding the disturbance from the outside world.
Maybe I will re-enter the earthly experience, but I should go back to Kunlun after all. But because I spied on a secret that I shouldn't have known.
Also because of his recklessness, he lost his eyes. And was driven out of Kunlun. I didn't even dare to step back on this land.
For so many years, Stick has been trying to make himself forget everything that happened back then. He did.
He has his own new life in Toyo. And became the leader of the Innocence Society. Lead this oriental organization against their evil offshoot: Hand and Society.
And now it seems that this confrontation has been successful, and the Hand has been completely wiped out and annexed.
Originally, the old man thought that his life had almost passed like this. But he didn't expect that he would set foot on this land again for his most beloved disciple. And go to Kunlun again.
Although so many years have passed, Gunsou is no longer the vigorous young man he used to be. But the tempering of the years has made him old and strong.
Although his eyes were gone, his mind was open. There are many things in this world that he no longer needs to distinguish with his naked eyes, he can see the true and false in the world deeper.
The road to Kunlun this time is much easier than it was decades ago. It took almost no effort for Gunsou to come to the intersection of Kunlun Mountain again.
This intersection looks like an ordinary hill in the Western Regions of China. The vertical drop from the top of the hill to the ground is only more than 200 meters.
Among the heavy mountains, this small hill looks very ordinary without any conspicuous place.
But Gunsou knew that this place was the road to Kunlun. But the door to Kunlun must be opened by Kunlun. Otherwise, outsiders would not be able to force their way into Kunlun's territory.
After the stick man reached the gate, he didn't speak too much, nor did he yell for someone to open the door for him.
He just knelt down slowly, facing the direction of Kunlun. And this kneeling is ten days.
...
Inside the Kunlun Mountains is another scene, just like Kamateki is built among the Himalayas.
Kamateki is a special region built in the real world. Without the permission of the mages, it is almost impossible for outsiders to enter Kamateki.
The same is true for Kunlun, they are also a special area established in the real world, they exist in this world but are independent of this world.
Behind the invisible gate is an even taller and taller mountain. It is majestic and majestic at the foot of the mountain and on the mountainside in Changchun all the year round. But the top of the mountain is covered with snow all year round. A huge palace towered over the snow-covered mountain.
The terraced fields extending from the foot of the mountain to the mountainside are like a ladder for giants to ascend to the sky. People want to lament the uncanny craftsmanship of human beings. During the planting season, the terraced fields are filled with clear water, and under the sunlight, a piece of sparkling light is reflected, just like the Queen Mother of the West smashed the mirror of the Heavenly Palace and scattered it on the earth.
The foot of the mountain is the place with the most buildings, and it is also the main activity place for people living in Kunlun.
The buildings here are mostly in the style of Han and Tang Dynasties, occasionally mixed with some Ming and Qing buildings, but there are very few buildings of this type.
It's more like moving the ancient Xianyang and Chang'an directly here. The buildings here have the thickness of the Han Dynasty. But the color matching is matched with the white walls and red columns of the Tang Dynasty. There is no lack of agility in the solemnity.
Compared to Kamateki, where only a few hundred mages live and study, Kunlun is undoubtedly bigger. There are at least 50,000 people living and working here. This is a city in its own right. It has its own school clinic and market.
The actual controller of Kunlun is named Lei Gong. It's not the Lei Zhenzi in the myths and legends. Calling him Lei is just because his surname is Lei, and he is old and dignified, so everyone respectfully calls him Gong. As for what Lei Gong should be called, no one knows anymore.
How long did Lei Gong live? It's hard to say. If you put aside his silver hair and just look at his appearance, he is as strong as a 50-year-old Stallone.
But there is a legend in Kunlun that Lei Gong will celebrate his 300th birthday this year. But now the 300-year-old birthday star asked the Kunlun gatekeeper with a blank face: "Has he left yet?"
The him that Lei Gong said was referring to the stick man who was kneeling at the door, and he had been kneeling for ten days. No eating, no drinking, no wind, no sun, no sign of moving.
Even though Gunsou's internal energy is already very strong, kneeling outside like this for ten consecutive days is still very detrimental to his energy and life.
The gatekeeper reported back to Lei Gong: "Yes, he hasn't left yet, and in the past ten days, I haven't seen him drink a drop of water or eat a grain of grain. , didn't feel the danger and wanted to leave. His willpower is very firm."
"Yes, I know that his willpower is very firm. I have seen it during training." Lei Gong said in a low voice.
When the gatekeeper heard Lei Gong say this, he was a little curious: "So, he is also from our Kunlun, won't I open the door and let him in?"
"Hey." Lei Gong sighed: "He is a very stubborn person. Let me go out and meet him."
………………
Outside the Kunlun Mountain Gate, Gunsou has been kneeling here for ten days, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he is on the verge of exhaustion.
He's kneeling here not just to save Kick-Ass David. At the same time, I also want to make up for the mistakes I made back then, and make up for the guilt in his heart.
So even if the wind and rain hit him, he didn't have the slightest thought of wavering. But kneeling outside like this for ten days has put a lot of burden on Gunsou's body. Even though his internal qi has been cultivated well, after all, his age has gone up. Physical function has begun to slowly degenerate.
Just when he felt that he was going to be unable to hold on, a brilliance flashed, and the gate of Kunlun opened. And the tall and mighty old man in his memory appeared in front of him again. Just like decades ago. He stood there majestically and asked himself: "Why are you looking for Kunlun?"
