Taiyi Mountain Repair (Second Update)

Chapter 1172 Taiyi Mountain Repair (Second Update)

Long Qilin, Yan'er and Xiao Xiao Tu Bo turned around together, and saw an old man in plain clothes hobbling towards them carrying a small iron bucket. There was water and a willow branch in the bucket.

Long Qilin looked around in surprise. The twenty-eight gods of the Glazed Blue Sky Tower were still there, still guarding this place. It was not easy to pass through this treasure that was the most precious in the world!

But where did this old man come from?

The old man came to the cracked black peak, put down the small iron bucket, took out the willow branches inside, swept the water in the bucket, and said breathlessly: "I am old, why don't you come to help?"

Long Qilin quickly transformed into a human body with a Qilin head and landed on the top of the mountain. Yan'er transformed into a young girl and came to the old man. Little Tu Bo had a serious look on his face and also tried to transform. He hummed twice and was unable to do so. He had to walk past dejectedly.

The old man handed the willow branch to Long Qilin and asked Yan'er to carry the small iron bucket. He said, "Dip the willow branch in water and sprinkle it on the cracks. Sprinkle all the cracks once to prevent the things from the past from running in here."

Long Qilin followed his instructions and swept the water in the bucket with a willow branch. He then pulled out the willow branch and splashed the water on the crack of the cracked mountain.

"Scared?" Little Tubo raised his head, looked at the ordinary-looking old man with a serious expression, and asked.

"I have always lived here. I didn't break in."

The old man had a kind face and seemed to understand what it asked. He smiled and said, "I am not an intruder. You are the intruders. You broke into my home, built a house, and attracted void beasts."

Little Tubo asked in confusion, "Moo?"

The old man sat beside it, supervising Long Qilin and Yan'er's work, and said loudly: "Be careful, don't use up all the water. This water is not easy to find."

He said to Little Tubo: "I could have left, but I was not welcomed, and this tree is dead. Someone wants to climb here from the past through this tree. I have no choice but to stay and guard this place to prevent them from climbing out."

Little Tubo looked puzzled, pointed down the mountain and said, "Moo?"

"right."

The old man nodded: "They live down there, but they have been dead for a long time, or they died before this universe was born."

Little Tubo was even more confused and scratched his head, "Scared?"

“It’s not impossible to say that.”

The old man thought for a moment and said, "The boundary between life and death is not that strict. Life and death are just different states of matter. They seem to have died when the universe was destroyed, but they were still alive before the universe was destroyed. As long as they can seize the opportunity and crawl from the past before the universe was destroyed to the present, they can survive."

Little Tubo scratched his head, still confused.

The old man was in a good mood and continued to explain: "Why did the bodies of these void beasts disappear? They were pulled into the past. The universe in the past had some of the current matter, so they took the opportunity to replace it. This is why they were able to crawl from there to the present."

"Moo?"

"Don't be confused. It's very simple. This big black tree is still alive. Its roots are connected to sixteen cosmic eras. One cosmic era is one year. Its matter runs through infinite years."

The old man patiently explained, "Some terrible creatures have set their sights on it and followed its roots from the past to the present. It doesn't matter if you don't understand. Think about the Lord Mu Tianzun who created you. He took you back to the past on a ghost ship, and you will understand."

Long Qilin and Yan'er sprinkled the water with willow branches and returned to the top of the mountain, only to see the old man still talking to the little Tu Bo, chatting about some unknown topic.

Long Qilin put the willow branches into the small iron bucket and returned it to the old man. The old man stood up, supported his waist with both hands, stretched his muscles, and sighed: "This is also my fault, so I can only stay here to repair it, but it’s not your Mu Tianzun’s fault. The water is almost gone, I have to get some more. Thank you, my two friends, see you another day."

Long Qilin was about to speak when he saw the old man carrying a small iron bucket and leaving, and soon disappeared.

"Another strange incident!" Yan'er said in horror.

She didn't see how the old man disappeared.

At this moment, suddenly there was a rumbling sound on the Big Black Mountain, the cracks closed, and the Big Black Mountain returned to its original state. Even the five scratches on the mountain disappeared.

That night, Long Qilin and Yan'er stayed on the black mountain with little Tu Bo. The weirdness reappeared, and all kinds of strange phenomena came one after another. It seemed that there was some huge monster in the mountain trying to break through the peak, rushing outward frantically, shaking the mountain violently.

However, the mountain did not split. The commotion gradually subsided in the second half of the night.

At daybreak, Long Qilin looked around and saw that two more peaks among the Ten Thousand Mountains had cracked apart, with a face-shaped dent even appearing on the inner wall of one of the peaks!

He and Yan'er were discussing whether there were people growing inside the mountain when they saw a pretty young woman carrying a small iron bucket coming over. She waved at them and said, "See you again."

The two were confused and puzzled.

The woman put down the small iron bucket and chuckled, "Yesterday's body was too old to do the work, so today I'll replace it with a younger one. Today I brought more water and a willow branch. The two mountains are cracked, so it may take longer to repair them."

Long Qilin opened his mouth wide and said, "Madam, are you the old man from yesterday?"

The woman smiled and said, "It's him and it's not him. Please help me fix it quickly, or they won't run out before it gets dark."

Long Qilin and Yan'er immediately stepped forward to help. Long Qilin held up a willow branch to sprinkle water and asked carefully, "May I ask where the young lady came from?"

The woman smiled and said, "I am just like you, an ordinary person, born and raised by nature. But our ways of living are different. I am more tired. If there is a leak in the sky, I will go and fix it. If there is a crack in the ground, I will go and patch it up. It is all hard work."

Long Qilin and Yan'er helped her repair two large mountains. The water in the bucket ran out. The woman sighed, "My spring doesn't produce much water. If more mountains are cracked, there will be no water to repair them."

She walked away carrying the small iron bucket, and the two black mountains closed together and returned to their original state.

Long Qilin watched her disappear like that, and was even more surprised. He thought to himself, "This Big Black Wood doesn't seem like a good place. It scares people so much that they can't sleep every night. Should we tell the leader to choose another good place?"

Another night passed, the ground shook, and a dozen black mountains were cracked. Long Qilin saw a dozen young men coming, each holding a small iron bucket with willow branches stuck in it.

One of the boys said to him, "You have helped me sprinkle water these days, and I will give you a favor. A new Void Mother Beast has been born, and it is still very weak. Now is a good opportunity to subdue it."

Long Qilin was very tempted and asked, "How do we subdue the Void Mother Beast?"

The young man smiled and said, "Hasn't your master already taught you?"

Long Qilin carefully recalled what Qin Mu had taught him. After a long while, he finally remembered that both the Three Yuans Supreme Consciousness and the Great Luo Supreme Divine Consciousness had methods to subdue the Void Beast. He felt relieved and asked with a smile, "Excuse me, Brother, where is the Void Mother Beast now?"
