Chapter 1517: The Kunlun Difference

Kunlun is a large mountain system in central Asia and the main trunk of the mountain system in western China. The mountain range starts from the eastern part of the Pamir Plateau in the west, runs across Xinjiang, Tibet, and extends to Qinghai. It has a total length of about 2,500 kilometers, with an average altitude of between 5,500 meters and 6,000 meters, a width of 130 to 200 kilometers, narrow in the west and wide in the east, and a total area of ​​more than 500,000 square kilometers.

Judging from these superficial data, it seems that the Kunlun Mountain we see today cannot be the title of the ancestor of ten thousand mountains. After all, in terms of area and height, there is a more majestic Himalayas standing in front of it. This is also the reason why Zhou Yi doubted his judgment. He could not have imagined how this ancestor of ten thousand mountains, which is inconsistent with the name, could be the key point in ancient times.

But Gu Yi gave him a very certain answer. Moreover, she also gave such an explanation for this.

"The Kunlun you know is strictly just a part of what I call Kunlun. Strictly speaking, it is only one-third of Kunlun in my mouth. Kunlun, the magical part of this mountain called Ancestral Dragon in the heavens and the Middle Earth Shenzhou is not something that humans can explain clearly. If you want to explore its roots, you have to start from ancient times and the place in the heavens."

"The Great Wilderness West Classic says that there is a mountain called Kunlun Hill south of the West Sea, the coast of the quicksand, and the Chishui River. There is a mountain called Kunlun Hill. There is a god, a human face, a tiger body, a literary and a tail, all white, and it is located. There is a mountain surrounded by weak water, and outside it is a mountain of flames, which can be thrown into things. Some people wear victories, tiger teeth, leopard tails, and caves, which are called Queen Mother of the West. There are all things in this mountain."

"The West Classic of the Sea says that the Xu of Kunlun is in the northwest, and the capital under the emperor. The Xu of Kunlun is eight hundred miles in a radius and ten thousand feet high. There are wood and five long and five circumferences on it. There are nine wells, with jade as the threshold. There are nine gates on the surface, and the gate is guarded by the open beasts, and the place where the gods are located. In the rocks in the eight corners and the Chishui River, no one can climb the rocks in the hills without Ren Yi."

"These explanations of Kunlun do not seem to coincide with the Kunlun Mountains we see on Earth, but if you know there is also a Kunlun in the heavens, you will find that everything can actually be matched."

"The West Sea refers to Qinghai, quicksand refers to the Taklamakan Desert, Chishui refers to the Chishui River in the Yunnan-Guizhou generation, and Black Water refers to the Black Water River in Gansu. By doing this, the Kunlun is now sandwiched in the middle. It can be seen that the records in the Great Wilderness West Sutra are not unfounded. So, what do you say in the West Sutra in the Sea? In fact, at this point, Kunlun no longer refers to the Kunlun on the earth, it refers to the Kunlun in the heavenly realm."

"High ten thousand ren, the capital of the emperor, refers to the identity of Kunlun. It is the highest mountain in the heavenly realm, and it is also the capital of the Emperor when he came to the lower realm. When the heavenly realm was not separated, the Emperor of Heaven and Man set up his own and the other palaces of the gods here for the world to worship. The Queen Mother of the West is the manager of the Kunlun Palace when the Emperor of Heaven was absent. It is also the highest god that people can worship after King Yu. Of course, in order to distinguish these two Kunluns, the original world used the two different titles of Kunlun Hill and the Kunlun Ruins. But later, the heavenly realm was isolated and it was difficult for the world to see two different Kunluns again, so they were confused."

"Thank you for your popular science. I just want to know, what does this have to do with what we are talking about? What I want is a way back, not to verify the allusions of Kunlun Mountain. That is what scholars should do, not what I should do."

Impatiently interrupted Gu Yi's popular science, and Zhou Yi began to urge her to get to the point. Faced with his impatient behavior, Gu Yi said to him angrily.

"Sir, you have to be a little patient, especially when facing a lady. In addition, I think I have already told you. Kunlun is the channel you are looking for connecting the two worlds. If you don't know anything about it, how can you use them?"

"Okay, okay. Please tell me. Say everything you know!"

He raised his hand and Zhou Yi said as he surrendered. Faced with his attitude, Gu Yi shook his head dissatisfiedly before continuing.

"I have already said that there are two Kunlun, Kunlun Hill and Kunlun Ruins. Kunlun Hill is the bottom layer, like the foot of a mountain. Kunlun Ruins is the top layer, like the top of a mountain. In fact, Kunlun has another one, that is Kunlun Fairy Mountain, the middle part of a mountain."

"The bottom of the mountain, the middle of the mountain, and the top of the mountain. These three together are the shape of a mountain. In fact, this is exactly the case. Only this Kunlun located in three different realms can be considered a complete Kunlun Mountain, which can penetrate the dimension of heaven and man in the realm of heaven and man."

"Thousands of years ago, people on this land used Kunlun Mountain to describe him. When it was still in its complete form, they used the title Buzhou Mountain. It was only with the struggle between ancient gods that the Buzhou Mountain of Heaven was collapsed into two parts, which led to the later Kunlun Hill and Kunlun Ruins. Kunlun Ruins are the products left behind by the broken mountain tops in the heavens, and the Kunlun Hill that remained in the middle of the human world is Kunlun Hill."

"Before the Qin Dynasty, the scale of Kunlun Hill was much larger than today. Those ancient gods told me that Kunlun was towering into the clouds and above all the mountains in the world. There was a great way to reach the sky on the top of the mountain, which could be borrowed to directly reach the heaven. The gods guarded and the immortals came to congratulate it, which was the most prosperous place between the two realms of heaven and man. Even the human kings on the earth would come to worship here from time to time. However, until Qin Shihuang unified the Jiuzhou, such a grand scene would never come again. Do you know why this is?"

This answer is not difficult to answer, because this time is really a coincidence. The Qin Dynasty lasted only a few years, and in these years, only one major event could cause such consequences. Zhou Yi knew this very well. So soon, he handed over his own answer.

"The First Emperor conquers the sky?"

"It seems that you did use such words to describe the war between humans and gods?" Although you have lived here for more than 30 years and have been exposed to quite a lot of Chinese classics before this, Gu Yi is more used to the expression of a more Western style. And she also has her own opinion about such a special war. "This war is indeed very meaningful. In fact, except here, I have never heard of any other place where such similar wars will occur. Humans in other places choose to worship rather than hostile to gods. After all, it takes courage to just have such thoughts, and to achieve the final victory, the prerequisites required are even more harsh. Very amazing, very amazing!"

"However, this answer is not accurate. Or, for our question, this answer itself is wrong."

The answer, which was almost certain to be sure, was not correct, which really surprised Zhou Yi. After the accident, he became more interested in the answer itself. What was the answer? Zhou Yi focused on Gu Yi. Not surprisingly, Gu Yi really gave the answer.

"The answer lies with that guy Chi Songzi. In fact, it was him who changed all this and caused a fundamental change in the huge Kunlun Mountain."

"Of course, if you want to understand why he did this, you also need to have a deeper understanding of Kunlun Mountain. Remove those identities on the surface and deeply understand its essence. And what is its essence, we can seek answers from its initial identity."

"Buzhou Mountain is the dimension of the sky. Obviously, this identity, which is considered by ancient gods as the pillar of heaven and earth, is its essence. Why do ancient gods have such a cognition? This is inseparable from its natural role. Buzhou Mountain, also known as Kunlun Mountain. Its natural function is only one, that is, to connect the heaven and the earth like a node. Just like the world tree in the Nordic God Realm and Mount Olympus in the Greek God Realm. Because of its existence, the world belonging to God will overlap with the earth occupied by man. It is the foundation for the coexistence of God and man, and the only connection between the two different worlds of heaven and man."

"Under this premise, it is a very special thing for the god named Gonggong to hit Buzhou Mountain. Because he shakes this foundation, the relationship between the two worlds becomes weak. However, it is only weak. With the deliberate blessing of the gods, the Kunlun Hill and the Kunlun Ruins can still maintain that kind of connection. This is also why the Kunlun is so prosperous and the two realms of gods and humans are unobstructed."

"However, when Kunlun Mountain, which had already suffered heavy damage, was really difficult to maintain this connection. Chi Songzi did this. After Qin Shihuang, he once again cut off the Kunlun Hill in the world with great magic power. Just like cutting off a thread connected to a kite, the heaven and the cut-off half of the Kunlun Hill inevitably fell into the void, and this also caused the previous connection between the heaven and man realm to be truly cut off."

"Okay, I understand the meaning of Kunlun. But, does this have anything to do with what we said?"
