Chapter 431: Chapter 44 Something is a little off_1

As he entered the cloud layer, Qin Shou realized that something was amiss. The Lady Xiang Bamboo in his hand suddenly lit up with a layer of oriole-green light, within which flickers of blood-red light shimmered. As the red light flashed, the white fog before his eyes whooshed away, revealing not the towering and imperial-like mountain, but instead a flat expanse of land!

The mountain peaks here were not high, none could break through the cloud layer. Below the mountains, rivers wound like bands of silk, looking very much like a miniature version of the massive Jiuyi Mountain on the outside!

Especially beneath the central main peak, there was surprisingly a sizable temple complex!

Roads intertwined with one another, and there were even people coming and going on the mountain...

Startled, Qin Shou quickly looked around and then his expression became even more bizarre; this place was actually Earth’s Jiuyi Mountain!

Qin Shou’s mind was a bit muddled; he could not understand what exactly was going on before him with Earth, the Earthly Immortal Realm...

Laozi, the Tao Te Ching.

Emperor Shun, Emperor Shun’s Mausoleum.

The Moon Palace, the Jade Rabbit and Chang’e.

Beijing, my protective deity.

Huaxia, descendants of the dragon.

...

The more Qin Shou thought, the more cold sweat appeared on his forehead. Could it be that Earth and the Earthly Immortal Realm’s relationship was far from the typical relation between a small world and the vast world? Could there be other connections between them?

"Rabbit? What are you staring at? Hurry up, the Lady Xiang Bamboo is pointing in this direction," the old swindler slapped Qin Shou’s head and said.

Qin Shou then came back to his senses and glanced at the Lady Xiang Bamboo. Indeed, there was a change on it; the blood-tear spots had turned into small arrow shapes, pointing towards three giant stones behind the main peak of Jiuyi Mountain down below!

The stones were special, appearing to be part of a single giant rock that somehow split in the middle for some reason, resulting in three big stones connected like toothed edges, standing there.

Such large stones were nothing unusual in the Earthly Immortal Realm, but on Earth, they were quite spectacular.

Regaining his composure, Qin Shou caught up with the old swindler and Sun Wukong and asked, "Don’t you find this world strange?"

Upon being questioned, Sun Wukong looked around and then scratched his head, saying, "It is indeed a bit odd; those mortals manage to fly with some junk... huh? Why are there mortals in Emperor Shun’s Mausoleum?"

Qin Shou then realized that Sun Wukong wasn’t ignoring everything due to his vast knowledge; he had simply not been paying attention!

The old swindler seemed very calm and dismissive, saying, "Isn’t it just some tricks of the mortals? In the myriad small worlds, there are many who do this. If I remember correctly, they call these things technology... yet they can’t even leave their own small world, which is truly laughable.

This one is even more pathetic; it looks like they can’t even fly out of their own planet."

Qin Shou looked at the old swindler in astonishment, not expecting him to be so world-wise.

The old swindler had a self-satisfied smile as he said, "This is simply the benefit of living long and seeing much; it’s nothing strange. If there’s anything you don’t understand in the future, just ask me. I only charge half price for consultation fees."

Qin Shou, looking at his smug face, really wanted to slap him.

"Are you saying that we have come to a small world?" Sun Wukong asked with some novelty.

The old swindler replied, "Most likely, those old fogeys in the Earthly Immortal Realm would never expect that the real Emperor Shun’s Mausoleum isn’t in the Earthly Immortal Realm at all. Ha ha... No wonder after so many years, no one has been able to find Emperor Shun’s Mausoleum; they can only worship an idol, ha ha..."

The three of them continued talking, but their feet didn’t slow down in the slightest, afraid of being caught up by Gouyun and his group, which could mean trouble. After all, Gouyun’s group also had Yao Bofu with them, and who knows if he had the real Lady Xiang Bamboo on him.

The three descended from the clouds, and as soon as they landed, they heard cracking sounds all around!

Qin Shou turned his head only to discover that a group of tourists was taking pictures of them.

Qin Shou slapped his forehead, only then remembering that the world had changed... They were being a bit too ostentatious!

Sun Wukong didn’t care about that at all. Seeing these mortals making clicks and snaps at him, he glared, bared his teeth, and roared, "Ah!"

The mortals were so scared that they let out a cry and dropped their cell phones and cameras on the ground as they turned and ran.

Qin Shou sighed as he looked at Sun Wukong’s ferocious appearance, thinking to himself, "Just as I thought, the TV lies. The real Sun Wukong is not the Monkey King but a hideous freak! When he gets fierce, it even scares me..."

With the mortals no longer causing trouble, Qin Shou hurriedly looked at the Lady Xiang Bamboo in his hands. Based on his experience, it was only a matter of time before the police or military would arrive.

If by any chance they mistook them for monsters and it came to blows, it wouldn’t be good if any of these Earthly locals got hurt.

Of course, Qin Shou had considered announcing the name of the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, Sun Wukong, but with a glance at Sun Wukong, who looked like he had been in a car crash, Qin Shou figured that even he wouldn’t believe it, let alone expect others to.

So, Qin Shou decided to act quickly and decisively!

When he looked, Qin Shou was also startled; the blood tears on the Lady Xiang Bamboo were glowing brighter!

The blood inside seemed as if it was about to flow out any moment!

"It’s not going to come out, is it?" Sun Wukong asked.

Before Qin Shou could respond, the old swindler shouted, "Damn, it’s really coming out!"

Qin Shou was also shocked, almost throwing the Lady Xiang Bamboo in his hands, and exclaimed, "No way! Do bamboos also have periods?!"

Seizing the moment, the old swindler suggested, "Quick, drop the blood onto the Shungong Stone!"

Qin Shou flicked his wrist in response!

The blood on the Lady Xiang Bamboo was flung away in an instant!

The moment it was flung, the expressions on the faces of Qin Shou, the old swindler, and Sun Wukong changed!

Because the original, unremarkable drops of blood from Lady Xiang, the moment they left the bamboo, emitted an incredibly ferocious aura! As the aura spread, Qin Shou felt his whole skeleton being compressed as if it was about to explode!

The old swindler immediately sat down on the ground, and Sun Wukong, refusing to kneel even in death, pounded his Golden Cudgel into the ground with a roar, burying half his body in the earth!

Although it was only three drops of blood, Qin Shou felt as if he heard countless creatures roaring in despair, the sounds of battling rising and falling. There were cheers as well, perhaps the sounds of victory in war, but more so the despair... the bloodshed... an aura of brutality verging on madness!

Qin Shou knew that this aura was the very essence of those three drops of blood, the roaring of the creatures was just the experiences of their blood’s owner!

Qin Shou’s mind went blank, and he instinctively asked, "Old swindler, was Emperor Shun this violent back in the day?"

The old swindler was just as bewildered, replying, "I... don’t know! That’s not what the historical records say!"

"Stop it!" Just then, Sun Wukong suddenly shouted, but it was too late; the three drops of blood splattered onto the Shungong Stone with a plop!

...

Meanwhile, in the Earthly Immortal Realm, atop Shunyuan Peak.

Yao Bofu and the others were sprinting all out, about to ascend the mountain when suddenly someone appeared before them!
