Chapter 992: Stele Forest
Editor: Atlas Studios
Yu Su nodded. “Alright, I’m done eating. Please show us around today so I can get familiar with the surroundings.”
“Okay!” w.a.n.g Luo’s eyes were filled with respect. He no longer dared to underestimate the woman in front of him.
After dinner, the few of them walked on the stone path on the mountain. There were antique buildings all around them. The people coming and going were in a hurry, and no one spoke to Yu Su and the others.
“Ahead of us are our main halls: the main hall and three secondary halls. The main hall is usually used for discussing important matters and is generally off-limits to outsiders.”
“The three secondary halls are: the Talisman Hall, the Treasure Hall, and the Spell Hall.”
“In addition to the three main halls, there are five departments, including the Alchemy Chamber and the Culinary Bureau.”
Following the main road out of the main hall, they soon saw the sign for the Alchemy Chamber.
The signboard of the Alchemy Chamber hung high, looking very imposing. Yu Su looked up at the sky above the Alchemy Chamber and saw a large ma.s.s of black aura that lingered for a long time.
Walking along the walls of the Alchemy Chamber, they could occasionally hear the cries of beasts, sounds of agony and pain.
Wen Chuan frowned and looked into the courtyard. His gaze seemed to penetrate the walls, seeing a unicorn struggling in pain inside. It was truly a sin. Mount Zhongnan had the reputation of being a Taoist holy land, but it was clearly not living up to its name.
From 9 a.m. to 11:30 p.m., they finally finished walking around Mount Zhongnan, but there was still no problem.
w.a.n.g Luo led them to the last place to visit: Stele Forest. This was the place where the Daoists were buried after they pa.s.sed away.
“Before we enter the stele forest,” w.a.n.g Luo cautioned, “please remember that this is the sacred ground of Zhongnan Mountain. Photography and loud noises are strictly prohibited. Please maintain a respectful silence. Otherwise, the Thunder G.o.d will appear and punish those who are disrespectful.”
Yu Su nodded.
“Are you guys going in? I want to go in and take a look too. Can you bring me along?” Fu Yang appeared out of nowhere and stuck his head out to say. He had a fawning smile on his face.
w.a.n.g Luo frowned. “You’re not qualified to go in…”
Before he could finish speaking, Fu Yang pleaded with Yu Su, “Beautiful sister, let him bring me in too. I’m very curious about the stele forest. I won’t cause trouble when I go in.”
“Alright, bring him in.” Yu Su nodded and said to w.a.n.g Luo. Her words were not a discussion but a notice.
“Okay!” w.a.n.g Luo frowned and nodded. He looked at Fu Yang deeply and reminded him again, “If you cause trouble later, no one can save you. The punishment of the Thunder G.o.d can instantly turn a person into ashes.”
“I know, I know.” Fu Yang waved his hand, his face full of interest.
The few of them followed w.a.n.g Luo into the stele forest. As soon as they entered, they met Master Kong Chen. The master seemed to be preparing to come out.
When Kong Chen saw the few of them enter, displeasure flashed across his face as he reprimanded, “w.a.n.g Luo, why did you bring outsiders in? If something happens, who can bear the responsibility?” This was a forbidden area, and no outsider had entered for nearly a hundred years.
w.a.n.g Luo bowed respectfully, “Master Kong Chen, this is the Great Elder’s order. We have to bring our esteemed guest to the stele forest for a walk. If you have any objections, you can discuss it with the Great Elder.”
“You!” Kong Chen waved his sleeve, his face filled with anger. He hadn’t expected anyone in Zhongnan Mountain to dare defy him. He was practically second in command here, so who dared to show him disrespect? But now he’d hit a snag.
w.a.n.g Luo lowered his head and said nothing more. Kong Chen glared at Yu Su and the others before storming off.
After pa.s.sing through the stele forest, everyone was awestruck. Yu Su walked to the central stele and bowed. The name of Mount Zhongnan’s first master was inscribed on it.
Wen Chuan nodded towards the forest of steles as a greeting, but unexpectedly, the entire forest began to vibrate subtly, as if in response.
The vibration was so subtle that only Wen Chuan, with his semi-immortal cultivation, could detect it. A realization dawned on him. Although these Daoist masters had pa.s.sed away, fragments of their souls still lingered within the stele forest, and that was why they had reacted.
Yu Su closed her eyes and murmured something. After a moment, she opened them again, her mind filled with a vague sense of understanding.
The stele forest, the crazy unicorns, and the curses manifesting as tumors. Who could have cast such a curse? What was the connection between the person who cast the curse and Mount Zhongnan? These questions would require further investigation.
