Chapter 2 (2/2)

Speaking of which, Tibet should have frigid weather this ti had felt a pleasant warmth his entire journey ard these past few days

Several days ago, the yellowed leaves had fallen in piles on the ground, covering everything But now it is different

The ree on the trees seeer falling

This has been particularly true as he neared the Kunlun Mountains Along the hether it eeds, brareen, silken and vibrant in the eather

It is already late autumn, but the air lacked that distinctive bleak chill

“Could the eather caused by the paranor speculated

Shortly thereafter, the Kunlun Mountains came into view

Even across such great distance, he could already feel a sense of oppression

Toweringand majestic, extended unbroken into the distance, as if the spine of the world just happens to run up and down these lands

This y since time immemorial

Chu Feng had originally planned on turning back after entering Tibet But along the way, he continued to hear about the unusual changes around the Kunlun Mountains and decided to take a closer look

“It’s here”

Finally, Chu Feng had arrived at his destination The towering peak see at the foot of the mountain Situated in the Western lands, it’s boundless and i

This is only a small part of the Kunlun Mountains The locals have seen this area bathed in blue light a few nights ago, and few people dare to approach these days

Chu Feng gradually made his way up the mountain

The ascent soon beca of large boulders as the trail beca the as lush green and full of life, which is obviously not normal this late in the season

“Was there really an earthquake a few days ago?” Chu Feng looked around carefully

The round had many wide crevices, with boulders that had apparently rolled down froher up the mountain, and some of the cliffs had collapsed

It was precisely this enorinated

“What is this?”

Chu Feng saw a particular boulder with characters notched deep onto its surface that was partially buried under the earth

After the earthquake, a small part of the mountain broke off and caused a landslide This boulder was unearthed froround as a result

There is a layer of green tinge on the stone that looked like dried moss

“West…Queen!”

Chu Feng gently stroked the lettering on the stone and realized that these words are Bronze scripts; a type of extrerave bells and cauldrons after the bronze was cast

Most people would have difficulty recognizing this

Chu Feng was lost in thought: ould it be these tords?

Seeing the tords “West” and “Queen” here, how can it not let people think of Queen Mother of the West4 from the ancient times?

“Perhaps it was only an inscription left behind by people fro shook his head and reasoned to himself

“Soht!”

A thought suddenly struck hi earlier, he had felt that the so-called “withered moss” was not normal

“Green patina!” This epiphany caused his heart to shake

This stone stele had been covered in dust and buried in the ht, he realized it didn’ttiht of day before the earthquake unearthed it

It was actually made of bronze!

But such a big block of ancient bronze is rarely seen

“The Houhed less than two thousand catties and is already known as the largest piece of bronzeware to survive from the ancient world, but this bronze stele…”

Chu Feng pushed away soravel for a closer look Even by conservative estihed at least five or six thousand catties He was shocked; this is definitely a rare treasure in the ancient times

One look at the rich green patina and he could tell this antique had been buried for many years

If this were a stone stele, Chu Feng ht have still believed that this was left behind by a predecessor who cae to the deceased But he is now uncertain given the revelation that this was a large bronze stele

Who could be so frivolous to do all this in the distant past?

The Kunlun Mountain is a raphical location The story will seem to blend these two distinctions

Classical Chinese texts

The tree that Buddha sat under in Bodh Gaya

A Goddess in Chinese y said to have resided in a palace on the Kunlun Mountain

A rectangular sacrificial vessel and the largest piece of bronzeware to survive from anywhere in the ancient world
