Chapter 0003: Bronze Kunlun

Copper Mountain

He attempted to forcefully push open a bronze door, and a slightly jarring sound of metal scraping was heard as the door swung open

When ! ''

According to his conjecture, this area must have once had a brilliant bronze civilization, existing in an extremely ancient time, which is not recorded in any existing historical texts

This area is composed entirely of copper material, a cold metal, and initially, there were no signs of vegetation, completely bare.

The mountain is magnificent, and as I walk alone upon it, I feel its grandeur. Reflecting on the many legends surrounding it, a sense of peculiarity arises within me. Gazing into the distance, the great mountain connects with the sky, presenting a truly majestic sight

Chu Feng looked up and searched carefully

If it were to be leaked, it would undoubtedly cause a sensation

This is even more shocking than the bronze tablet seen earlier

The matters here are indeed quite astonishing and extraordinary

Finally, he approached and saw clearly

Chu Feng was truly astonished, unable to calm his heart.

Upon careful examination, nothing has been overlooked; the copper house is indeed empty

When he saw the copper house, he did not react this way either

The bronze tremor vibrates, carrying the weight of the years' vicissitudes

Perhaps, a long time ago, there was an extraordinarily brilliant bronze civilization here, he mused, making such a conjecture

This is a sensational discovery, a bronze artifact of such magnitude, equivalent to several bronze houses, buried deep in the Kunlun Mountains

In the distance, he saw a patch of green, rusted and mottled, right at the edge of the cliff; this was not just a small cluster, but rather a large expanse.

He is very eager to excavate this copper tablet to examine it closely; however, it is buried underground with a small portion exposed, and without tools at hand, it is quite difficult to succeed

Who buried it in Kunlun Mountain

The large fissure on the mountain is wide and deep, dark and shocking, presenting a scene of desolation

The truth remains unknown, but at the very least, this two-hundred-meter-high mountain is made of bronze, which is enough to astonish the world

After lingering here for a moment, he ascended once again

He has never been superstitious; even though Kunlun is steeped in mythological significance, and upon unexpectedly encountering a massive bronze stele inscribed with the words "Western King," he remains skeptical of those legends

This is not a small area, located nearly two hundred meters from the summit, and this vast expanse has already revealed a bronze texture

Three bronze houses, ancient and silent, are built against a stone wall, with some parts buried under earth and stones, yet most of them are still visible

There is no road along the way, the mountains are steep and perilous, with massive boulders scattered about, making the ascent increasingly difficult.

The bronze house style is ancient, exuding a grandeur that carries a profound sense of history

However, there is an eerie atmosphere here at the moment, which is difficult to explain

A small, lush green tree, over three feet tall, has surprisingly taken root on the bronze cliff, bearing a flower that is yet to bloom.

Not long after, although I still could not reach the summit, I was able to see it clearly

On the copper house, those tiles are also cast from bronze, arranged neatly and systematically, resembling green scales laid out at a glance

How can this not lead one to other thoughts, this mountain is made of bronze, its exterior concealing earth and stone, only beneath lies the "true scenery"

In front, there is a large pile of earth and stones, as a section of the mountain wall had recently collapsed.

Chu Feng discovered scorch marks on the mountain, indicating it had been struck by lightning. Large areas of vegetation had turned to ashes, leaving a scene of utter darkness.

This area at the summit is actually made of copper, which was once buried beneath the soil.

Chufeng was taken aback; this was a mountain within Kunlun, made of bronze, overturning his thoughts and challenging the long-established notions of the past

That area already belongs to the mountaintop region. After retreating, he searched again from other directions for a path to climb upwards, gradually getting closer, wanting to observe more carefully

After a large section of the cliff on the mountain has collapsed, the exposed area, adjacent to the steep part of the mountain, reveals the long-hidden truth

Chufeng believes that even if the West Queen Mother truly existed, she might have merely been the leader of a powerful ancient tribe, and this place is merely a relic.

What era is this from, and who built it

Chu Feng paused here for a long time, and finally ascended the mountain again. After several hours, he was nearing the summit, with about two hundred meters remaining, and he had sweated profusely.

Chu Feng was convinced that he had not seen incorrectly; there was no soil or stone there, only bronze, which was rooted in the copper cliff, truly astonishing

Standing atop the towering mountain, gazing up at the azure sky that seems so close at hand, one cannot help but feel a sense of exhilaration, allowing all worries to fade away. Personal honor and disgrace, everything, appears trivial in comparison.

At a certain distance away, Chu Feng noticed something unusual. He displayed a look of astonishment and quickly advanced, climbing upward, eager to confirm whether what he saw was real

The mountainside here has previously experienced a landslide, with a thick layer of earth and stones rolling down, revealing a metallic texture

If this is discovered by the outside world, it will undoubtedly be regarded as a treasure-level bronze artifact, as there has never been an object of such enormous size seen before, which is revolutionary

It is truly inconceivable

Historical records indicate that during the Shang Dynasty, the casting of the Simuwu Ding required the involvement of two to three hundred craftsmen, who worked in close coordination to accomplish this challenging task

In addition, the mountains and rocks have been split apart, resulting in significant damage to the mountain body

Undoubtedly, the construction of such dwellings is more difficult than that of casting a tripod

Climbing over a thousand meters, traversing the mountains after the earthquake, this is not an easy journey. It is extremely dangerous when encountering loose rocks that may roll down.

There are no other objects, whether on the ground or on the wall

The Simuwu Ding is renowned as the largest ancient bronze vessel, yet it now appears not only lighter than that bronze stele, but when compared to the houses before us, it can hardly be considered a heavy object.

The other two bronze houses are similar, with spacious interiors and no tables or chairs.

In ancient times, how great would the difficulty be to cast three bronze houses

The sound of Chu wind striking the bronze tablet resonates with a continuous metallic vibration, but unfortunately, he is not an archaeologist and cannot draw any valuable conclusions

Really!

This further convinced him that a few days ago, there was heavy fog here, with blue light swirling, which was actually lightning, and this area had previously experienced a lightning strike

He does not believe in those mysterious matters and has always regarded the so-called legends as mere stories

The scene revealed after the large-scale collapse of soil and rock is truly astonishing

This is too astonishing, somewhat incomprehensible

The intense earthquake triggered anomalies in the mountain's magnetic field, causing discharges in the cloud layers, and coupled with the exposure of a massive bronze structure on the mountain, this led to the swirling of lightning

However, when he turned around and reached the other side of the mountain, his body slightly stiffened, his pupils contracted, and for the first time, he felt such shock

Chufeng has always been very composed in the face of events, but today he cannot remain calm. The existence of such bronze relics in the mountains of the western lands is truly astonishing

As one approaches the mountain summit and gazes into the distance, the undulating mountains and the vastness of the earth make the individual appear exceedingly insignificant, akin to dust

Chu Feng did not enter immediately; he stood outside for a moment, and after taking a breath, he cautiously stepped inside. It was very quiet within, as if it were isolated from the outside world, the sound of a falling needle could be heard, yet it was bare and empty, devoid of anything.

In that distant ancient time, this was truly extravagant

Chufeng climbed up along Tongshan and stopped nearly one hundred meters from the summit, as it was exceptionally steep here, a sheer cliff of bronze, making it very difficult to ascend further

At the same time, he caught a whiff of a fragrant scent carried by the wind

After being struck by lightning, the truth of the bronze mountain peak is revealed

The road ahead is difficult to traverse, with boulders piled up and the Chu winds swirling, prompting a desire to ascend from the other side of the mountain

The altitude here is already quite high, yet there is no snow to be seen, and there is still vegetation, which strikes Chu Feng as somewhat strange

Chu Feng set down the stone in his hand, convinced that this was undoubtedly a bronze tablet. This left him somewhat incredulous; a bronze artifact weighing thousands of pounds was no trivial matter

Chufu increasingly felt that this might be the reason

While feeling startled, he also experienced unease and confusion

The bronze house is cast, molded together, exuding a sense of grandeur and solemnity intertwined with mystery

There are traces of lightning strikes

Like verdigris

His physique is excellent, with a tall and strong body; however, climbing such a high mountain for an extended period still leaves him very fatigued

Against the stone wall, where green rust spreads in patches, there is an ancient structure imbued with mystery. This is a copper architectural body, revealed as parts of the mountain slope away.

The words "Xi Wang" are engraved above, carrying the weight of time, exuding an ancient charm intertwined with mystery, captivating the heart and mind, leaving one to wonder from which era it originates

He changed his position and chose a place that was more conducive to climbing upwards. The distance was closer, and he could see clearly that the small tree was indeed rooted in the bronze

Indeed, I saw it; on the cliff of Bronze Mountain, there is a plant

Chu Feng stepped back, gazing at the three bronze houses, filled with an abundance of confusion. Were these structures inhabited by the ancients, or were they used during rituals?
