Star Trace Gate

Chapter 446: Legend of the Witch God, Traveling to the Immortal Peak

In the afternoon, early 3 p.m.

The brigade heading south once again arrived near Loushan Pass.

Inside the carriage, Ren also looked at Lord Rat curiously, and asked in confusion: "Sir, it's so hot in this carriage, why are you still wearing a black robe to cover your face?"

"Ahem...!"

When Master Rat heard this, he coughed twice in embarrassment and said, "My...my appearance has been a little abnormal in the past two days."

abnormal?

Ren was slightly stunned, thinking, "Maybe you've done too many bad things and now you have hemorrhoids on your face, right?"

Seeing Ren Ye's curious look, Lord Rat smiled awkwardly and said, "It is indeed a bit stuffy in the car. I will take off my face towel. I hope King Huai will not laugh at me."

"No, no. Lord Wei is a handsome man, there is no need to embarrass him." Ren also complimented him perfunctorily.

Mr. Rat was actually feeling very hot as well, so he took advantage of the situation and removed the hood of his black robe and then his face mask.

The moment he revealed his true face, Ren Ye's expression froze instantly and his whole body began to tremble.

At this moment, he felt a very strange feeling in his heart, wanting to laugh but also feeling a little disgusted.

In the bright sunlight, an old mouse that has become a spirit has had all its hair shaved off, leaving only its brown-pink, wrinkled skin exposed to the air. It looks like a three-inch bad thing that has been forced to use depilatory cream, and its skin is limp and loose, as if it is too old to fight anymore.

Ren was also surprised: "Are you... hot?"

"We have already said this, King Huai, please do not laugh at me."

"I'm not laughing, hahahaha!"

"......!" Lord Rat's face was droopy, and he covered the corner of his mouth with his hand a little awkwardly, and sighed: "Speaking of this matter, our family is also puzzled."

"Is there any story behind this?" Ren Ye asked curiously.

"The Second Prince has been moody since he returned a few days ago. He specifically ordered people to call me to a remote and deserted place... and forcibly shaved off all my hair. When I asked him the reason, he told me to reflect on it behind closed doors." Lord Rat replied with a look of grievance.

"Hahahaha." Ren laughed even louder: "Then have you reflected on this, sir?"

"Since I left the capital, I have been sitting in the carriage reflecting. Thinking about today, I don't know why he wanted to shave my hair." Lord Rat shook his head and said, "I really can't figure out the Second Prince's thoughts."

"Lord Wei, how long has the second prince been traveling? The emperor summoned me to the capital this time. Is it after the second prince has met him?" Ren Ye asked softly.

Lord Rat glanced at him and said, "I will let the Second Prince tell you about this question in person after we arrive in Kyoto. We haven't reflected on the last incident yet, so it's better not to talk nonsense. However, the Second Prince has been waiting for you since he returned to the capital."

There's no way you can reflect on it!

Your second prince has seen you at your most shameless in the secret realm of Mount Bulao. Shaving your hair is considered a light punishment. I have not covered your back door with mud, which is considered to be taking care of the relationship between master and servant.

Ren Ye heard Lord Rat's answer and basically locked it in. The fat dragon was the second prince. After he returned to the capital, he was probably angry at Lord Rat's performance in the secret realm, so he shaved his hair with a knife to deliberately disgust him.

So comfortable, so comfortable!

Ren Ye looked at his hairless rat head and couldn't help laughing.

Not long after, the carriage arrived in front of Loushan Pass. Ren also looked out through the gap in the curtain and saw that in the center of the Bulao Peak, there was still a scene of black air rising to the sky.

Seeing this scene, he suddenly became curious and asked casually, "Master Rat, what is in this Immortal Peak, and why did it cause such a strange phenomenon?"

Lord Rat was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I don't know either. I have never been to the Immortal Peak."

Ren nodded slightly and asked again: "I have heard people say that there is a witch god altar in the Bu Lao Peak, and that the witch god betrayed the emperor and was hunted by his enemies, so he returned to the Bu Lao Mountain with his clan members and passed away in the Bu Lao Peak. Is this rumor true? There shouldn't be a witch god's tomb in the Bu Lao Peak...?!"

"Your Highness, in our southern border, the witch god is respected, and... the royal family is a descendant of the witch god. You can talk to me about these things in private, but once you enter the capital, you must not make such remarks. This is extremely disrespectful." Lord Rat warned with a "kind heart".

"Of course. As soon as I saw Lord Wei, I felt a sense of closeness to him, so I said some nonsense in private." Ren also hypocritically tried to get close to the other party.

"I have been with the Second Prince since he was young, and he has a close relationship with you, so we are family." Lord Rat nodded, and then added: "However, the rumors outside are not true. In the few historical records in Southern Xinjiang, the Witch God never betrayed the Human Emperor. He led his people back to the Immortal Peak to atone for his sins."

"Atonement?!" Ren Ye was a little surprised: "Why atonement?"

Lord Rat lowered his voice and whispered, "The time when the witch god existed is too long ago, so long that it is impossible to trace it back. Moreover, I have never seen relevant historical materials, and I have only heard people from the royal family talk about it occasionally."

"Well, what do you mean?" Ren nodded.

"According to rumors, the God of Sorcerers was defeated only once in his life, and the defeat was to an opponent who did not exist at all." Lord Rat narrated in a mysterious tone, "So, he returned here to atone for his sins and was suppressed forever. Some people say that he has long passed away in the long years, and the God of Sorcerers Altar is his burial place; others say that the God of Sorcerers has not really passed away, but that his original body has gone to another unknown world."

Ren Ye heard this and was very curious: "What does it mean to lose to an opponent who doesn't exist at all? It sounds so contradictory."

"I don't know either." Lord Rat shook his head slightly: "This kind of thing is not something I can inquire about. And it's really too long ago. Maybe even His Majesty doesn't know the inside story."

Ren also sat in the carriage in a daze, his mind active.

It is recorded in the ancient books of the people who keep the year, that those who are not gods are not worthy of the title of gods. In other words, if there is a word "god" in the witch god, it must be a supreme being who is ranked among the gods and is shrouded in mystery.

But according to rumors, such a person was defeated by a person who did not exist at all.

This sounds a bit too weird and curious.

Ren pondered over it for a long time, but couldn't come up with any related stories. He could only sigh that stories with the word "God" in them were too stream-of-consciousness and were totally incomprehensible to normal people.

……

In the evening, at the beginning of Youshi.

The team heading south entered Mount Bulao and bypassed the Tombs of the Twenty-Four Heavenly Kings.

Ren also followed Lord Rat out of the carriage. He looked up at the scenery around him and suddenly felt a chill coming over him, and goose bumps appeared all over his skin.

This place was a long distance away from the Dragon Lord's Mausoleum that he had explored, and in front of him stood the towering Immortal Peak.

When he was watching from a distance, Ren had not yet felt that this place would be so shocking. But when he got closer, he saw that the dark Bu Lao Peak had no grass growing on the whole mountain, and there was no end in sight on both sides.

It stands there like a sword splitting the sky, rising from the ground and forcibly blocking the flowing clouds in the sky. It looks majestic and magnificent.

In front of the Bulao Mountain, black gas rose up, covering the scenery halfway up the mountain.

However, the rolling black gas did not spread around, but only rushed into the sky and disappeared above the flowing clouds, disappearing without a trace.

Xu Bangzi looked at the scene, shook his head and sighed, "This kind of scene will never be seen in Qijia Town. It seems that following His Royal Highness Prince Huai is not all bad... At least I can do some harm and broaden my horizons."

Li Yan glanced at him and felt that this person was not very intelligent and seemed to be able to make a fortune: "If you want to broaden your horizons, it's easy. I can develop a travel program specifically for you at the Fraud Chamber of Commerce... As long as the money is in place, you can go anywhere."

Xu Bangzi ignored him and thought that King Huai's friends were all fish looking for fish, shrimps looking for shrimps, and none of them were good enough.

Not far away, Lord Rat glanced at Ren Ye and said softly, "We will wait here. Please allow Your Highness Prince Huai to come in."

Ren Ye was stunned when he heard this: "What do you mean, just let me go by myself?"

"That's right." Lord Rat smiled and replied, "We are not of high enough status to face the Immortal Peak directly."

Is this human language?! There is a dark aura in there. You want to find out why, so you use me as a guinea pig?

Lord Rat bent down and held out his hand: "Please, please...!"

Ren also gave him a look that showed deep resistance.

Lord Rat paused for a moment and said in a voice transmission: "This matter was personally ordered by His Majesty. He said that only people with good fortune can reach the Immortal Peak, so we cannot enter."

Ren was also stunned when he heard this, and suddenly remembered that when the dark energy first appeared that day, it was because of the power of his luck that he illuminated a piece of light and protected everyone as they entered the Dragon Lord's Mausoleum.

Therefore, Lord Rat’s words were not lies, and he would not dare to falsely convey the imperial decree.

Ren also thought about it for a while, and was extremely curious, and wanted to see what the inside of the Bu Lao Peak looked like.

He was silent for a while and then said, "Okay, I'll go in."

"I'll wait here." Lord Rat clasped his fists.

Not long after, Ren also stepped towards the Bu Lao Peak, and when he approached the black gas, he instantly summoned the Human Emperor Seal and the Human Emperor Sword and placed them at his side.

In the back, Feng Lin looked at the towering Bu Lao Peak and murmured softly, "It reaches up into the sky, majestic and magnificent, as if it were a dream that lasted for eternity."

Li Yan added: "I looked directly at the Bu Lao Peak and felt an indescribable sense of fear."

"Me too." Fenglin advised, "Let's not discuss this."

Li Yan nodded slightly and said no more.

……

In the dark air.

The Human Emperor Seal illuminated a bright area, and Ren took a step forward.

He felt like he had been walking for a very long time, but he could only see the outline of the Eternal Peak, which was neither getting closer nor farther away, as if the road to meeting it was as long as the Milky Way.

"Shh!"

Walking on the gravel, Ren slowly raised his head and looked towards the clouds.

At just one glance, he saw that the dark Eternal Mountain seemed to be alive, as if it had a beating heart, or as if there were people living in the mountain, and with every breath it took, it was in sync with the heaven and earth.

"Ugh...!"

A breeze blew by, and a corner of the black fog in front slowly dissipated.

Ren Ye immediately looked up, but was stunned for a moment.
