Chapter 175 Cloud Feather 34
(Neither the original drama nor the novel provides a specific explanation of what Boundless Flowing Fire and the Extraordinary People are, so the following is all based on Xianggu's personal interpretation!)
As it turns out, knives forged from pigs are just as formidable.
With a crisp 'clang,' the knife in Young Master Hua's hand broke in two.
Gong Ziyu's Three Realms Trial has come to a successful conclusion, and the secrets of the back mountain have been officially revealed to him.
It turns out that the reason why the palace gates have lived in the Old Dust Valley for generations is because a terrifying strange person lives deep in the back mountain.
To prevent the alien from wreaking havoc on the world, a hundred years ago, the first generation of the Palace Gate's Blade Master, along with the elders of the four families of Wind, Flower, Snow, and Moon, joined forces to imprison the alien and swore a blood oath to ensure that their descendants would forever guard the back mountain.
The Boundless Flowing Fire that Wu Feng longed for was created by the four clans of Wind, Flower, Snow, and Moon in the back mountain using meteorite iron that fell from the sky. Their purpose was to use the Boundless Flowing Fire to perish together with the strange people in the back mountain when the palace gates could no longer control them.
However, because the Boundless Flowing Fire is too powerful, the consequences would be unimaginable if it fell into the hands of a wicked person. Therefore, the palace sealed the Boundless Flowing Fire. This secret can only be known by those who have passed the trials in the three regions of the back mountain.
Later, in order to better protect the secrets of the back mountain, the palace gate was divided into the front mountain and the back mountain.
The Gong clan guarded the front mountain, built the four palaces of Shang, Jiao, Zhi, and Yu, and used weapons, hidden weapons, poisons, mechanisms, martial arts techniques, and sword skills to intimidate the martial arts world and make their mark on the world.
Four palaces—Wind, Flower, Snow, and Moon—were built on the back mountain to protect it and provide continuous support to the front mountain.
Later, under the influence of the strange man, Elder Feng not only repeatedly violated the ancestral rules of the palace, but also ultimately broke the blood oath made by his ancestors, leading the Feng clan to rebel against the palace.
Not long after Elder Feng betrayed the palace, a new force quietly rose in the martial arts world—Wu Feng.
The elders and the Blade Masters were furious about this and wiped the Wind Palace from the history of the palace. Even the statue in the Flower Palace Sword Tomb was ruthlessly cut in half. From then on, only the Snow Palace, Moon Palace, and Flower Palace remained on the back mountain.
The three elders sighed and told Gong Ziyu all the secrets of the palace without reservation.
Gong Ziyu: ?
Gong Ziyu: ? ? ?
……
Half an hour later, inside the Flower Palace cave.
Gong Ziyu looked at the dozen or so neatly arranged "gates" of Boundless Flowing Fire before him and felt utterly absurd.
In this era of cold weapons where even firearms didn't exist, how could they have created such a powerful cannon?
Yes!
Gong Ziyu recognized this thing!
The weapon referred to by the palace gates as "Boundless Flowing Fire" was none other than a cannon.
Back then, he used this thing to conquer the west, defeating the surrounding countries so badly that they couldn't even raise their heads.
The dozen or so cannons in front of him are similar in appearance to the cannons made during his Qianlong period, but they are made of higher-grade materials.
But how were these palace gates made?
With his furnace that doesn't even have coal?
And what exactly is this strange person in the back mountain? Why does it require cannons to control them?
At this moment, Gong Ziyu's questions reached their peak!
"I need to see the imprisoned superhuman!" Gong Ziyu said directly.
The words had barely left his mouth when the three elders' expressions changed drastically, and they hurriedly spoke up to stop him: "You mustn't draw your blade!"
Elder Yue said worriedly, "That strange person is far too dangerous. Everyone else is trying to avoid him, yet you insist on going to see him! You must know that strange people are extremely good at bewitching people. Elder Feng was bewitched by him and that's why he betrayed the palace!"
"I won't go near them, I'll just take a look from afar!"
Gong Ziyu said, "Besides, as the guard of the palace gate, I should know exactly what the palace gate is guarding, right?"
Elder Hua said solemnly, "Ziyu, we know you are curious about extraordinary people, but you are now the Palace Guardian, bearing the safety of the entire Palace on your shoulders. You cannot act solely based on your own likes and dislikes."
Elder Xue added, "The methods of the superhumans are bizarre. Our ancestor went to great lengths to imprison them and even created the Boundless Flowing Fire as a backup plan, which shows how powerful they are."
