Although I had the identity of Emperor Ku, I was only a reincarnated soul after all. I didn't have the memories and experiences of the past. Shang Qi was different. He had lived for so many years and had most likely interacted with Wang Hai. This was also the reason why I had always wanted to tell him about Wang Hai.
I thought that after knowing about this, he would have some emotional fluctuations. Who knew that he would just sigh.
It could be seen that in the endless years, Shang Qi had already seen through everything.
I didn't say anything else. I nodded and led the fatty out of the Fire God Temple.
After I came out, I heard Shang Qi's voice behind me.
He bowed and said to me, "Imperial Father, take care on this trip."
In a day, we traveled thousands of miles. It was already late at night. After I brought the fatty down the mountain, I didn't rush through the night. Instead, I found a hotel to stay in and prepared to leave for Kunlun Mountain the next day.
Perhaps it was because I had come to the Fire God Temple, but after lying down at night, I couldn't fall asleep. Tao Wu's figure kept appearing in my mind.
Since I had embarked on the path of cultivation, saving Tao Wu had basically become my only goal. Although I was going to Medicine King Valley for Wuyue, in reality, I was planning for Tao Wu.
If Wuyue could reconstruct his bones and flesh, then Tao Wu should be able to do so as well.
Of course, with Tao Wu's identity, there would definitely be more difficulties and twists. However, as long as I could explore this possibility, it was fine. No matter how difficult the road ahead was, I would do my best to complete it.
I didn't sleep after thinking for the whole night. When the fatty woke up the next morning, he was surprised to see me like this. He asked me why.
Naturally, I didn't mention Tao Wu and only said that I was worried about the trip to Kunlun Mountain.
Seeing this, the fatty waved his hand and comforted me, "There will be a way when we get to the mountain. Why worry so much now?
How about this, I will give you a divination to see if this trip will be safe. What do you think? "
For Wuyue and Tao Wu, I had to find the true dragon bones. Hearing the fatty's words, I thought for a moment and nodded. "There is no need to divine for safety. Why don't you try to divine the location of the true dragon bones? Even if you can't find the exact location, it would be good to narrow the range."
The fatty nodded. "That's fine."
After saying that, he flipped his hand and tossed out three copper coins. But this time, he didn't throw them on the table. Instead, he held them in his palm and looked down at them. His brows were already furrowed.
A moment later, his expression turned serious. Without saying anything, he wiped his eyes with his other hand, causing the sun, moon, and stars to appear in his eyes. He looked at the copper coin in his hand again.
After a while, he returned to his normal state, but his brows were still tightly knitted. He said doubtfully, "There's something strange …"
The matter of the true dragon bone involves Kun Lun. This is a power that far surpasses me and the fatty's cultivation. It is normal that he cannot divine it.
I patted his shoulder and comforted him. I didn't take it to heart. However, the fatty's mood seemed to be affected. He didn't say anything.
In the morning, I checked out of the hotel and brought the fatty with me to the airport. We were ready to depart for Mount Kunlun.
As we all knew, Mount Kunlun was located at the junction of Qinghai, Sichuan, Xinjiang, and Tibet Provinces. That area was barren, and it was extremely cold. Of course, we couldn't go there directly. That was why we decided to go to Golmud Airport, which was the nearest airport.
In the afternoon, we arrived at Golmud Airport.
As soon as we got off the plane, we could feel the cold wind around us. I guessed it was around minus ten degrees Celsius.
After I had become a Yang God Heavenly Master, my body was a hundred times stronger than before. I wasn't afraid of the cold.
However, the fatty wasn't as relaxed as me. He had goosebumps all over his body. Fortunately, he was able to adapt to the cold.
We didn't hurry to Mount Kunlun. Instead, we found a hotel to check in.
I thought that since Mount Kunlun was covered in snow all year round and its altitude was high, we would need to make some preparations to get there.
Moreover, with the fatty's body, he couldn't endure the cold.
We spent the whole afternoon and finally finished our preparations.
However, it was a bitterly cold place, and the wind and snow were even stronger at night. It wasn't convenient for us to travel.
Feeling helpless, we had to wait until the next morning. Then, we left the hotel.
Since Mount Kunlun was too vast, we couldn't explore it one by one. We had to choose the Kunlun Mountain Pass, which was relatively well-known.
However, no car was willing to take us there. I heard that the foot of Mount Kunlun was impassable.
However, it was more than four hundred miles away, and we couldn't fly there.
After considering it carefully, we decided to drive our car there.
Unexpectedly, it was just as the drivers had said. Due to the heavy snow, we had to walk for a whole day before we could see Mount Kunlun. However, the snow was too thick, and the car couldn't move forward.
After we got out of the car, we planned to fly to Mount Kunlun.
However, I suddenly sensed two strong auras in front of us.
There was no one around. It was obvious that they were coming for us.
I stopped and signaled the fatty to stop.
The fatty was puzzled and asked, "What's going on?"
Those people were at the early stage of Yang God Heavenly Master, so it was natural that the fatty couldn't sense them.
I explained the situation to him. After listening to me, his face became serious. He wanted to take out the Devil Refining Gourd from his chest pocket.
Seeing his action, I hurried to tell him not to show the Devil Refining Gourd to others.
After I had learned about the functions of the Ten Great Divine Tools from Nangong, I knew that they were very important.
I didn't know the purpose of these people. If they had come for the divine tools, the fatty's action would have been exactly what they wanted.
Although the fatty didn't know why I was doing this, he seemed to be able to guess it. He stopped what he was doing and stood next to me, looking forward.
I had already taken out the Armor Removing Sword and channeled thick Taoist energy into it.
After a few seconds, those people landed on the snowy ground. At the same time, the Armor Removing Sword was filled with Taoist energy and could be used at any time.
When they came closer, I could see their faces clearly.
The three of them were dressed like Tibetan Buddhist lamas. The auras that I had sensed earlier came from the two people behind them. As for the one walking in front, I couldn't sense any fluctuations in his aura.
In other words, this person's cultivation was higher than mine.
Unexpectedly, three powerful lamas had come. This was going to be troublesome.
Thinking about this, I extended my hand to the jade bracelet, wanting to quickly recover the Taoist energy in my body.
I didn't dare to be careless and watched their movements closely.
When they were only two meters away from us, they stopped. Then, they put their palms together and bowed to us, saying the name of Buddha.
Seeing this, I became suspicious. I didn't know what they wanted to do.
The fatty seemed to have sensed something was wrong. He came over and whispered, "Third Baby, I don't think they have any ill intentions."
The fatty's words reminded me that I hadn't sensed any murderous aura from their eyes.
However, I had dealt with Buddhism many times before. It wasn't like I didn't have sanctimonious people. We couldn't let our guard down because of this.
After listening to me, the fat man nodded repeatedly and his complexion returned to normal.
While we were talking, the people straightened their bodies and looked at us.
The lama standing in the front looked older. He didn't mind that I was checking him up and down. Quite the contrary, he wore a smile on his face.
His appearance reminded me of Monk Miaojue and the Jinshan Temple's Long Pu Village. However, he looked kind, so I didn't dislike him.
After a while, no one said anything. I couldn't help but ask, "What business do the three Masters have with us?"
After listening to me, the leader of the lama immediately answered, "Benefactor Zhou, the snowstorm here is really strong. I'm afraid it will hurt your body. Why don't you come to my humble temple for a chat?"
The lama spoke respectfully and didn't sound arrogant. Moreover, the way he addressed me didn't sound like the way Tibetan Buddhists usually addressed me. It sounded more like a Han Buddhist.
However, from his words, I could tell that these people knew me and knew that I would pass by this place today. That's why they came to invite me.
However, since these people didn't reveal their identities, I couldn't trust them.
The lama seemed to read my mind. He explained, "This poor monk was careless. We are monks of Taer Temple.
When we learned that Benefactor Zhou would come to Mount Kunlun, our master sent the three of us to invite you. "
His words made me even more confused. Taer Temple was several hundred miles away from here, and these people had flown here. They didn't seem to have wasted any time.
However, I didn't have any dealings with Tibetan Buddhists, so there was no need to mention it.
Moreover, since these people were in such a hurry, they didn't come here just for a chat. They must have a purpose.
Our purpose this time was the True Dragon Skeleton in the Kunlun Mountain Range. Since we were already here, how could we go with them?
I cupped my hands and declined. "I don't have any dealings with your honorable temple. Moreover, I have an important matter to deal with today, so I won't disturb you.
I'll have to trouble Reverend to thank your master on my behalf. After I'm done with my business, I'll pay you a visit. "
The lama didn't seem surprised when he heard my words.
Instead, he moved closer to me and said, "Master knew that Benefactor Zhou would refuse.
Before we left, he specifically told me to bring his words to him.
Master said that if Benefactor goes there now, you won't gain anything.
If you come to Taer Temple for a chat, our humble temple is willing to lend you a hand. "
I was shocked when I heard this.
Not only did this lama's master know my name, but he also knew why I was here. Perhaps he had already predicted this.
I didn't know how to deal with this situation.
However, from his confident tone, I guessed that he wasn't lying.
I was hoping to get lucky and didn't have much confidence in this matter.
However, from what he said, it seemed that Taer Temple had a way to help me find the True Dragon Skeleton.
If that was the case, I would have to think about it carefully.
While I was pondering, the fat man seemed to have thought of something. He moved closer and whispered to me, "Third Child, they don't look like they're lying. Anyway, we're not in a hurry. Why don't we go to Taer Temple? What if they really have a way?"
The fat man had never had any ideas, but now he suddenly made a suggestion.
I pondered for a moment. It was most likely that he had seen something in his previous divination. That was why he said this now.
With this thought, I finally nodded and said to the lama, "Fine. Since your honorable temple has invited me, there's no reason for me to refuse.
Moreover, it's my first time here, so I should pay a visit to your esteemed monk.
However, you must have expended a lot of energy to come here.
Why don't we drive to your temple? I can also ask the Reverend for some Buddhist teachings on the way. "
It was a journey of several hundred li, so it would be hard for the fat man to travel.
Moreover, if we talked on the way, we might be able to get some information from these lamas. If we knew the purpose of Taer Temple, I would be able to plan ahead.
