Chapter 96: Ways to Break the Impasse
"Taoist Priest, do you know why I returned to this world?"
Su Chen asked.
"Know one thing, there is something from the past in you."
Taoist Guanshan nodded.
"Object of the past? What is that?"
Su Chen wasn't sure.
"I don't know much about the objects of the past life. I just know that these are not things in the mortal world, but come from the underworld, which is Huangquan Naraku."
"There are all kinds of wonderful things in the past. Your coming back must be related to this."
Having said this, Taoist Guanshan looked at Su Chen with a smile.
"Do you know how you look to me now?"
"What image?"
Su Chen was curious.
"Ghost!"
Two words popped out of Taoist Guanshan's mouth.
"What? Am I a ghost now?" Su Chen couldn't believe it.
"Yes, it's a ghost. It's just that this ghost is not that ghost. Although you bear the name of a ghost, you are actually still a living person. It's just that you have no name in this world, so you are not counted as a living being in the world, but in the underworld. Creatures. And what are the creatures in the underworld? They are naturally ghosts!"
"The raven on your shoulder is proof of that."
Taoist Guanshan pointed at the crow on Su Chen's shoulder that never crowed.
"It?" Su Chen looked at the crow on his shoulder with wide eyes, "I just met it by chance that day. I saw that it was very spiritual, so I took it with me."
Su Chen said.
"That's right. This is the raven, the messenger of the underworld, and naturally has spirituality."
"As for being close to you, it is inevitable, because it was your arrival that gave birth to it. It can only recognize you as its master. It is also your talisman in this world and the proof of your existence in this world."
"If it does not appear, then even if you return to this world, no one will recognize you, remember you, or see you. Only with its existence can you be observed and participate in the operation of this world."
"The success is the raven, and the failure is the raven. The appearance of the raven gives you a sense of existence in this world, but it also makes you trapped in this world forever and cannot escape."
Guanshan Taoist said.
"Is that what happened? Then I can't go back now?"
Su Chen asked.
"No, there are no absolutes in this world. There is always a way to solve it."
Taoist Guanshan shook his head and said.
"Please give me some advice from the Taoist priest."
Su Chen stood up and bowed respectfully.
"Kunlun Mountains!"
Guanshan Taoist said.
"Kunlun Mountain? Where is my solution to the problem?"
Su Chen asked.
"Yes. The hint given to me by someone is indeed there."
Taoist Guanshan nodded.
"How could it be possible? How could Kunlun Mountain have a way to break the situation?"
Su Chen didn't quite believe it.
"Kunlun Mountain is the place where mythology originated. If there is something extraordinary, it can only be there. But there is no extraordinary thing in this world, so Kunlun Mountain is just a place full of mythology. Ordinary people will naturally not find anything when they go there. But there is no extraordinary thing in this world. You are different. You are no longer from this world. In a sense, you are closer to the gods in myths and legends than we are. In other words, you are the gods. So if you go, the result will be different."
Guanshan Taoist said.
"Been taught a lesson!"
Su Chen nodded.
After getting the answer, Su Chen didn't want to stay for a moment and wanted to go to Kunlun Mountain as soon as possible, so he got up to say goodbye.
"Wait a moment!"
Taoist Guanshan stopped Su Chen.
"Does the Taoist Master have any other instructions?"
Su Chen turned around and asked.
"Leave the raven on your shoulder here! You will never gain anything with it."
Taoist Guanshan said with a smile.
Su Chen thought for a moment and then took off the crow from his shoulder.
"That's it, it's hard work!"
"Haha, don't worry! What's yours is yours after all, and no one can take it away. When the time comes, this raven will eventually come back to you, no matter where it ends. But, not now. Now, it will only hinder you."
Taoist Guanshan took over and said from Raven.
Su Chen nodded and left.
Taoist Guanshan looked at Su Chen's back and narrowed his eyes slightly: "There's another world! Taoist, I have lived for such a long time, and I have really gained a lot of experience."
A few days ago, Taoist Guanshan was meditating, but he felt that an interesting guest would come to his door.
So Taoist Guanshan has been waiting for these days.
Now on the day of the temple fair, Taoist Guanshan has been waiting for him.
Immediately he sent a boy to invite him in.
The first time he saw Su Chen, Taoist Guanshan was deeply shocked.
Unexpectedly, I can't see this person's destiny at all, and this person doesn't belong to this world.
If Su Chen hadn't been secretly connected to this world, and the skills practiced by Taoist Guanshan were blessed by this world, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to tell the details of Su Chen.
In fact, Taoist Guanshan was able to see Su Chen, Su Chen was able to go to the temple fair by accident, and then came to Tianyun Taoist Temple to offer incense, and finally met Taoist Guanshan inexplicably. This was entirely intentional on the part of Tiandao Fang.
The purpose was to use Taoist Guanshan's words to answer Su Chen's questions and come up with ways to break the situation.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be a problem for a gangster like Su Chen to stay in this world all the time.
The past has passed, and Su Chen will eventually return to where he belongs.
So Tiandao played like this.
After leaving Tianyun Taoist Temple, Su Chen's mind was full of thoughts about how to get back, and he had no interest in visiting the temple fair.
Su Chen did not plan to go home, and planned to set off directly from Gui Province to Kunlun Mountain.
After returning to the hotel, Su Chen began to place orders online.
Going to Kunlun Mountain is not a joke. Su Chen is now just an ordinary person with a mortal body.
If you go to Kunlun Mountain without any preparation, you will die without knowing how.
Three days later, all the things Su Chen ordered arrived.
Cold-resistant clothing, hiking boots, hiking poles, skis, oxygen cylinders, safety ropes, etc.
In addition, Su Chen also ordered an off-road vehicle from the 4S store.
It turned out that the old broken car was OK on the city roads, but it was not good enough to go to Kunlun Mountain.
If you encounter some snowy roads, I am afraid it will break down directly.
To go to Kunlun Mountain, Su Chen must have a reliable means of transportation.
Although the old Taoist said that the solution is in Kunlun Mountain, he did not know where it is exactly.
But how big is the Kunlun Mountains?
The Kunlun Mountains, a tall mountain range that runs across the west, is located on the northern edge of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. It starts from the eastern part of the Pamir Plateau in the west and ends at the upper valley of the Qaidam River in the east. It is more than 2,500 kilometers long. The widest part from north to south is 350 kilometers, and the narrowest part is 150 kilometers.
The Kunlun Mountains are majestic and steep, with snow on the peaks all year round. They stand to the south of the Tarim Basin and the Qaidam Basin. The altitude difference between the north and the basin is 3,500-4,500 meters, and the altitude difference between the south and the plateau is 500-1,500 meters. The highest peak is Kongur Mountain, with an altitude of 7,649 meters. There are 7,612 glaciers in the Kunlun Mountains, totaling 12,259.55 square kilometers.
The main mountains in the Kunlun Mountains include Taxkuzuk, Karatag, Ustentag, Jiugeshandaban, Qimantag, Aerge Mountain, Hoh Xil Mountain, Bokalektag, Burhanbuda Mountain, Bayankala Mountain, Animaqing Mountain, etc. from west to east, and the main peaks include Kongur Mountain, Yuzhu Peak, Yuxu Peak, Xianglu Peak, etc.
It would be a big project for Su Chen to find them one by one.
