Chapter 90 Give me face
The group walked down the steps along the cliff face to the high platform.
Once they reached the main road leading directly to the main hall of the Heavenly Palace on the Cloud Top, they could finally see the vines coiled around the stone carvings.
"The Heavenly Palace on the Clouds is indeed magnificent, but compared to the feng shui of Kunlun, this place doesn't seem to have anything special about it."
Huo Ling held a submachine gun in her hand. By this time, she and Chen Wenjin had taken off their thick cotton-padded coats.
It's a volcanic crater and there's no wind here, so it's not as cold as outside.
“There must be something special about this place, otherwise Wang Zanghai wouldn’t have kept thinking about it.”
Chen Wenjin said with great certainty.
In fact, the Nine Gates are all very wary of the fact that there is a bronze gate in Changbai Mountain.
Because they betrayed Zhang Qiling in this matter.
During the Nine Gates period, the members of the Nine Gates, led by Zhang Dafoye, promised Zhang Qiling that they would send one person every ten years to help the Zhang family guard the Bronze Gate.
Thus, he gained Zhang Qiling's help.
However, many people died in the exploration of the ancient city of Tongjing organized by Zhang Qishan.
As the leader, Zhang Qiling took the blame for this tomb raiding trip, and he also lost his memory.
Having lost his usefulness, Zhang Qiling became a discarded pawn and was sold to it by Zhang Qishan.
As for the promise to guard the bronze gate, that was naturally reneged on.
These old guys from the Nine Gates felt ashamed and would not tell the next generation about their dark history unless absolutely necessary.
Therefore, Chen Wenjin and Huo Ling didn't know much about Changbai Mountain; they had only heard their families mention it.
There are great secrets here, and clues pointing to the Heavenly Palace on the Cloud Top of Changbai Mountain were also found in Wang Zanghai's tomb.
That's why they placed all their hopes on this place.
"This Heavenly Palace on the Clouds is actually divided into three levels. The top level is a palace built by Wang Zanghai."
It was later buried by an avalanche.
This is the second floor, a site from the Yin-Shang period, which was transformed by King Wannu into a treasure vault.
Our destination is the third level, where the King of Wannu is finally buried.
As they spoke, the group had already walked more than halfway, and the main hall in the distance could be vaguely seen through the beam of their flashlights.
Just then, the sound of flapping wings came from above.
The group stopped and looked up, where they saw a huge bird with a wingspan of more than three meters circling down.
"Don't make any rash moves. It doesn't seem like it's going to attack us."
Cheng Feng stopped Chen Wenjin and Huo Ling from raising their guns. After the incident at the Insect Valley, they were not very fond of birds.
Soon, the large bird landed in front of the group, and only after it folded its wings could they see its appearance clearly.
This large creature resembles an owl, but the markings on its face are similar to those on a human face.
His large, bright eyes were incredibly intimidating.
Its strong wings give it remarkable flight capabilities.
Its claws are sharp and look very dangerous.
"This is a human-faced owl, a bird of prey recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas."
Cheng Feng explained while keeping an eye on the human-faced owl's sudden attack.
"So what is it trying to do by blocking our way now?"
Chen Wenjin gripped the gun tightly, ready to fire at any moment.
Cheng Feng shook his head; he didn't understand what the bird was trying to do either.
Just then, the human-faced owl moved, swaying and running toward Cheng Feng in an extremely comical manner.
The two women involuntarily took two steps back, and just as they were about to attack, they discovered that the human-faced owl had actually grabbed Cheng Feng's trouser leg with its beak.
Then she pulled Cheng Feng as if to take him away.
Full of questions, Cheng Feng looked back at the crowd, then at the big bird that was desperately pulling him along.
"What's wrong with this guy? Does he have a crush on me?"
As he spoke, Cheng Feng took two steps forward, following the force of the human-faced owl.
The next second, countless human-faced owls flew out from the cracks on both sides of the mountain wall.
They attacked the group that was a little distance away from Cheng Feng.
Seeing the large number of human-faced owls approaching menacingly, the crowd immediately opened fire in return.
However, the human-faced owl flew extremely fast, and the reaction speed of the crowd was completely out of control. A large number of bullets were fired, but only a few bird feathers fell.
"I see. So these owls don't want to attack you, they sent one over to lure you away before attacking us?"
Taking advantage of the break during the reloading, Huo Ling widened her eyes and shouted at Cheng Feng.
Cheng Feng slapped his forehead, realizing that he had gained animal affinity, and since the human-faced owl was also an animal, it would naturally be affected as well.
But their duty is to attack any creature that tries to reach the Bronze Gate.
On the one hand, she didn't want to hurt Cheng Feng, and on the other hand, she was driven by instinct, which led to this situation.
One bird pulled Cheng Feng along, while a flock of birds attacked the others.
Helpless, Cheng Feng bent down and picked up the human-faced owl that had pulled him up, then jogged over to the group.
He shouted, "Stop! Let me talk to them!"
Without saying a word, the members of the Unloading Ridge faction put down their guns, leaving Chen Wenjin and Huo Ling speechless.
What can you discuss with a flock of birds?
But remembering that Cheng Feng had always been reliable and had never done anything without certainty, he lowered his gun as well.
Without the threat of bullets, the man-faced owls should have attacked them immediately.
However, they hovered in mid-air and showed no intention of continuing their attack.
"Gentlemen, please give us the honor of letting us pass!"
Cheng Feng, holding a human-faced owl in his arms, looked up and shouted.
Perhaps understanding what Cheng Feng meant, the human-faced owls seemed to hesitate for a moment, but soon they all left.
In the end, only the one in Cheng Feng's arms remained.
"That's impressive, even the birds are giving you face!"
Chen Wenjin couldn't help but give a thumbs up; she had really learned something new today.
Cheng Feng ruffled the feathers of the large bird in his arms a couple of times, then chuckled and said:
"Everyone knows I'm a kind-hearted person, and it's normal for kind people to care a little about their reputation."
After speaking, the human-faced owl nodded its head in a very cooperative manner.
The onlookers were filled with astonishment.
"Can they really understand human speech?"
Huo Lingren kept her distance, but that did not diminish her curiosity in the slightest.
"Never underestimate any life, especially those living in Changbai Mountain, a place where dragon veins converge."
After exchanging pleasantries with the human-faced owl, Cheng Feng took a few steps.
"Go ahead, I'll come visit you again sometime."
After saying that, Cheng Feng tossed it gently, and the human-faced owl spread its wings in mid-air.
After circling above Cheng Feng's head once, it reluctantly flew back to its own tribe.
"Since these people are giving us face, we'll have much less trouble from now on, and we can go directly to King Wannu."
Without the human-faced owl blocking their way, the group quickly arrived at the entrance to the main hall of the Cloud Palace.
The imperial mausoleum in this crater is a site from the Yin-Shang Dynasty, which looks spectacular and adds a sense of solemnity.
The group climbed the steps and arrived at the entrance to the underground imperial mausoleum.
The doors of the main hall were dilapidated and covered in accumulated dust. Through the light, a huge, unidentified statue could be seen standing tall.
Passing through the palace gate and entering the main hall, there are statues of different shapes on both sides, and the walls are engraved with simple and ancient patterns.
"These statues are indeed in the style of the Yin-Shang period, but some parts still show signs of later modifications."
Chen Wenjin said after carefully observing a statue next to him.
