Chapter 224: Traveling through the woods, bragging to the sky
Legend has it that in ancient times, gods and humans were connected, and the distance between the earth and the sky was not as far as it is now. There was a "ladder to heaven" between heaven and earth, which could be used to travel between the two worlds. In addition to Kunlun Mountain and Dengbao Mountain, the most famous "ladder to heaven" is the Jianmu.
In addition to the mention of Jianmu in Shanhaijing, Huainanzi also described it as "Jianmu is in Duguang, where all the emperors go up and down."
It is about Fuxi, Huangdi and other emperors from the human world who followed Jianmu to and from the heaven and the human world. There were also people from the human world who went in and out of the heaven to steal the fire of civilization, turned into gods, and disrupted the order of the heaven, which angered the Emperor of Heaven. In order to stabilize the order, he ordered people to cut down Jianmu, thus severing the passage between the heaven and the human world.
The shadow of the Emperor of Heaven also appeared in the story of Wu Gang's attack on Guili. As to who this Emperor of Heaven was, there has been endless debate in later generations.
In addition, "Shangshu·Lü Xing" recorded a central emperor who did something similar to sever the connection between heaven and earth. He was Emperor Zhuanxu, the great-grandson of Emperor Huang.
After Zhuanxu ascended the throne, in order to stabilize his rule and restore the order of heaven and earth, he ordered the two gods Chong and Li, one to hold up the sky and the other to support the earth, to push the two apart. This gave rise to the legend of Zhuanxu connecting heaven and earth.
These were ancient legends circulated in ancient books and among the people, but in the eyes of Chen Jue, a human who landed on this strange planet, they all began to seem real.
In addition to the mountain in front of him that looked like a giant tree stump, Chen Jue recalled the several conjectures about the formation of the moon that Ye Guangming had described to him when they were at the lunar space station. He couldn't help but feel terrified when he thought about it. He shivered all over and muttered, "The scientific community speculates that the moon was closer to the earth a long time ago, and not just one side was facing the earth... Could it be that the 'sky' in the round sky and square earth is the moon?"
"The heaven is this strange planet hidden behind the wormhole tunnel on the moon... Jianmu runs through it, connecting heaven and earth... The Emperor of Heaven ordered Wu Gang to cut down the osmanthus tree, and ordered the two gods Zhong and Li to push open the heaven and earth, isolating them from each other... The moon is also moving away from the earth at a speed of 3.8 centimeters every year..."
Chen Jue stared at the huge mountain in the distance that looked like a tree stump. Sparks of thoughts were jumping in his mind, and he always felt that everything was too coincidental.
He turned back and used the [Xuanmen Qi-Watching Technique] to observe the changes in the magnetic field in the distance that looked like a golden barrier. He felt that the barrier should be caused by the terrain magnetic field of the mountain that seemed to be a petrified tree stump.
Only a sacred tree like Jianmu in ancient mythology can support such a large-scale energy magnetic field.
"I have arrived at a strange planet. Maybe I have entered the heaven in ancient mythology?"
"Where are the gods in heaven?"
“Where did they all go?”
Chen Jue thought again of the silence along the way and the fact that he did not find any traces of intelligent civilization. He then thought that maybe he was just overthinking and it might be just another coincidence.
…
Standing on the top of the tree and looking at the surrounding environment for a long time, Chen Jue took a deep breath and dispelled his chaotic thoughts, taking advantage of the quiet and peaceful natural atmosphere around him.
He felt that he had just entered this second home not long ago and had just begun preliminary exploration, so he could not make any guesses or conclusions too early.
If you want to prove whether the mountain in front of you is actually transformed from Jianmu, you can just use a shovel to dig into its roots to see if it exists.
However, Chen Jue had just arrived and there were still many things to be dealt with. He did not have the time to compete with this mountain that was dozens of kilometers wide .
I took out the notebook from my schoolbag and wrote down all my guesses and assumptions, and also listed several problems that needed to be solved in subsequent exploration.
"Once the water source is solved, we can then solve the food source."
"But the lighting time here seems to be somewhat different from that on Earth... Let's go back to the mountain and observe a little more..." Chen Jue glanced at the time displayed on a smart watch on the wrist of his aerospace combat suit. It was already past 5 pm. With a cautious idea in mind, he did not explore further away where there were suspected living creatures. Instead, he planned to go back to the mountain that looked like a tree stump and stay there for a night.
It just so happened that there was a large amount of innate Qi that could be absorbed, and he planned to try to practice the attributes he had accumulated and the two skills that he had not yet practiced.
He gathered all his strength, shifted his center of gravity, and exerted force with his feet. The thick branch under his feet was like a bent slingshot when Chen Jue stepped on it, and it catapulted Chen Jue out with a .
Chen Jue, with the bonus of [As Light as a Swallow], was like a swallow flying low at altitude, rising and falling, jumping at high speed on the tops of the vast tall trees in front of him.
Every time he leaped, he relied on the elasticity of the branches under his feet to jump a distance of nearly thirty to forty meters. He had to use his eyes to lock the foothold every time he jumped. The tension, stimulation and speed of flying on the treetops made Chen Jue's adrenaline rush. He felt that this vast world seemed to be tailor-made for him!
“So cool !”
"Ha ha!"
As Chen Jue flew, he approached the huge mountain in the distance. There were no such giant trees and environment for him to play around in before on Earth. When he was practicing, he mostly avoided the curious eyes of ordinary people.
Now that he has arrived on this strange earth, without surveillance, without worldly eyes, and without external constraints, Chen Jue feels like a fish in water, fully releasing his powerful panel attributes.
The sound of "thump thump thump" echoed in the silent woods, and there were also the sounds of leaves shaking and branches being broken by Chen Jue's powerful stomping. Wherever he went, the shadows of the trees shook and the big trees trembled violently.
It took Chen Jue less than ten minutes to fly the distance of dozens of kilometers. However, after such an indulgence, he felt a little drunk.
When he reached the edge of the woods, he didn't even think about braking to slow down, but instead jumped off the top of a big tree!
Good job!
A parabola over eighty meters high is equivalent to a leap of faith from the top of a twenty-story building!
An ordinary person would definitely be smashed to pieces even if there was a rescue air cushion underneath.
In mid-air, all kinds of complex emotions flashed through Chen Jue's mind, including confidence, happiness, and excitement, but there was not the slightest fear!
He stretched out his hand and pressed a touch point on the right side of the helmet of the aerospace combat suit. The connecting part of the helmet bounced with a bang, and the mouth and nose part was lifted up very cleverly. He used the 8 [Red Dust Golden Body Skill] to keep his body in the strongest defensive state. He concentrated and held his breath. When his body was about to face the ground, Chen Jue took a deep breath and opened his mouth to spray downward. A ball of white gas as big as a heavy truck tire spurted out of his mouth.
You know, Chen Jue's current physical attribute has reached 6.66, and his cardiopulmonary capacity is comparable to that of an iron man under various state bonuses. The sound waves he spit out are just like the working principle of the deceleration engine when the lunar module landed on the moon!
This [Tiger Roaring in the Mountains] sonic killing move not only created a circle of dust several meters square on the ground, causing sand and rocks to fly everywhere in an instant, but also his body, which was falling at high speed, was suddenly slowed down by the recoil force of the sonic waves, and then his figure landed steadily on the ground.
"It's really exciting!"
"It seems that I have to practice this secret fighting technique, as well as various body movements and light skills. It would be better if I could integrate a few more advanced light skills. Before the void level, there should be many ways and directions for martial arts skills to extend to the extraordinary level. Otherwise, it would be such a disgrace for a human being like me to fall to death accidentally." After Chen Jue landed, he glanced at the traces on the ground left by his own breath and thought to himself.
I recalled what was mentioned in an old boxing classic: a certain martial arts master became an immortal after practicing martial arts. After coming out of the mountains, he showed off his skills in front of people. He could blow a cow up into the sky with just a breath.
Even if he couldn't blow the cow up into the sky with the breath he just exhaled, he should have no problem blowing a cow weighing several hundred kilograms to the ground.
“When I was having midnight snack with my roommates, they always said that one could brag to the sky. Well, not only did I go to the sky, but I also blew air to hold myself up. What level of bragging ability is that?” Chen Jue was secretly happy. He thought it was a pity that he could not post on WeChat Moments about this strange planet. He looked back at the silent forest and thought that the subsequent exploration should be very interesting. He felt that his steps were much lighter when walking up the mountain.
