Chapter 6: Place of Worship (1/2)
Darkness and coldness coexist in space, nine giant dragon corpses floating, the giant bronze coffin, simple but had a strong aura. The coffin seem to be part of the many things floating around the universe.
A few days later, still unable to decipher the mysterious signals arising from the bronze pattern, there is no sure way to handle the situation.
“It moved!” (TL:WHAT?! Did the author finally decide to move the story???)
“It’s going off course the orbit, it’s sinking!”
At this moment, ISS(International Space Station) space astronauts opened there eyes wide. The Jiu Long coffin, out of orbit, is slowly settling sinking to Earth.
Mount Taishan, was towering and majestic, also known as the world mountain.
Since ancient times, Taishan was a Holy symbol. it is located in the most Eastern part of the ancient Central Plains, surrounded by Yellow River and the River Wen. In ancient times, it was regarded as beginning of life due to the sun rising.
There is nothing greater than Taishan. In history, there is nothing more ancient!
The grand mountain Taishan is filled with history. Dating back to the ancient emperors, it was the land of gods.
“The height of the heavens cannot be reached, therefore at the top of Taishan, sacrifices were made. It was believed to be the closest place to the gods.”
Swept away by Qin Shihuang(The first ever emperor), with great skill and strategy of Han Wudi(Emperor of the Han Dynasty. The only dynasty able to unify China as a whole.) both held ceremonies in Taishan.
Prior to those events, 72 monarchs held sacrifices on the mountain.
Pre-Qin Classics Guanzi(A book of an influential and ancient official) worship article states: “Once upon a time a clan head with the surname HuaiZhi abdicated to go to Taishan, ShenMong(The first legendary flame emperor) abdicated, Huangdi(A mythological emperor of china) abdicated, Yao(One of the five legendary emperors) abdicated, Yu(A mythical emperor that controlled the floods) abdicated, all these great figures abdicated to go to Taishan. (TL: Who would have thought the author likes giving history lessons)
In ancient times, many emperors, without exception, are selected for the worship. Taishan shrouded with mist, issued endless mystery.
In the Spring and autumn period, Kong Sheng(A sage of some sort) went forth towards Taishan looking for rewards. However he returned empty handed and was unable to answer the disciple’ questions.
Later people discovered something.
A squad of 20 led by General Ma under the Republic of china stationed on Mount Taishan stumbled upon a multicolored altar. There were two sets of jade book, a stone rope covered with gold hidden under the ground
In ancient times, before the qin dynasty, no emperor dared to open the mysterious things.
Yefan and all the other people spent their night in a hotel, then the next day started to climb Taishan.
For people who has visited for the first time, the mountain will feel majestic and magnificent.
The mountain structure is divided into three layers, like prohibitively stairs, facing south, a long ten kilometer path until reaching the vast peak.
Both from afar and up close. the mountain was majestic and magnificent, peoples hearts were stirred.
In front of Mount Tai, it gave the illusion as if people were ants. Even the heavens witht he moon and stars feel negligible.
It is a shocking feeling. Peoples souls start to quiver.
As the tour guide was talking about ancient worships, people were daydreaming about the mystery of the unknown.
Li Xiaoman walked side by side with Cade, constantly translating and explaining. The shocked young man kept asking questions about the mountain.
Liu Zhi gave Yefan a fascinating look, which was completely overlooked which made him disappointed.
