To reach the so-called "Land of Eight Bears", one has to cross the Mo River. The Dangxiang people did have small rafts, but Lu Ming used a helicopter, carrying four people, him, the East and West Palaces, and the guide Mo Zang Haya, and flew over from the sky.
But in the helicopter, looking at the lush forests and high mountains below, Mei Zang Ha Ya completely lost his sense of direction, until he saw a white mountain, he happily pointed there again and again.
Hunters call this place "Snow Mountain", but there is naturally no snow here. The rocks are just white, which is very similar to the snow-covered mountains in the legend, so it is called Snow Mountain.
However, there was no safe place to stop near the snow-capped mountains, so the helicopter found a grassy slope a few hilltops away to land.
With Bizhu and Liuli around, the dense thorny forest was as easy as walking on flat ground. The group moved forward in the direction pointed by Mo Zang Haya, and saw that the trees automatically fell to the ground on both sides, and the thorns were uprooted and flew to both sides.
In the eyes of the tribesmen, helicopters are already tools used by gods. Now Mei Zang Ha Ya completely regards these people as the legendary ancient immortals.
There were roars of fierce beasts along the way, but none of them came close.
The mosquitoes, flies, ants and other insects that were rampant in the mountains and forests were nowhere to be seen.
Apart from the fact that climbing the mountain required a little effort, Mei Zang Ha Ya completely experienced a feeling of ease that he had never experienced before when climbing a mountain.
"Master, being by your side, I feel so powerful, as if I were floating in the air!" In Lu Ming's ears, Liuli's sweet voice could be heard.
Lu Ming was too lazy to pay attention to her and just kept moving forward.
Even if the gods open the way, the mountain top that seems to be right in front of you is actually very far away.
The sun gradually sets and a bright moon hangs above the dense forest.
Finally, the rocks in front gradually turned white.
Next to a huge rock, Lu Ming gestured for him to take a rest. Seeing that Mo Zang Ha Ya was exhausted, he thought to himself that the old man was old and should not keep him busy, as it would only shorten his lifespan by several years.
Lu Ming and the other two could go without food or water for a long time, so they threw the biscuits and water bottles they brought to Mei Zang Haya.
Looking at the towering white mountains, Lu Ming seemed to be thinking about something. He smiled at Mo Zangha Ya and said, "Old sir, it seems that we don't need you to lead the way." He already had a feeling in his heart.
After listening to Biju's translation, Mei Zang Ha Ya was shocked. If these immortals left him here alone, wouldn't he soon become a meal for the ferocious beasts
Night has fallen, and the roars of fierce beasts in the distance are creepy.
However, he didn't dare to say anything more. He had a sad face and his heart felt like it was in an icy cave.
Lu Ming smiled and said, "It's okay. Let's go back the same way and send you home first. I think we should come back during the day."
Mei Zang Ha Ya immediately said something hurriedly, of course expressing his gratitude.
…
At noon the next day, the helicopter circled around the highest peak of the snow-capped mountain. Under Lu Ming's command, they reached the halfway point of the mountain. Lu Ming and two other people jumped off the helicopter. Lu Ming jumped down while Bizhu and Liuli held onto the safety belt tied around his waist.
This is a stone forest with strange rocks.
Lu Ming led the way, and the three of them soon arrived at an extremely flat stone wall.
There were patterns carved on the stone wall that looked like huge characters. Bizhu asked, "Is it oracle bone script?"
Lu Ming nodded, looking at the strokes of the words in front of him, feeling confused.
The so-called oracle bone script here is similar to the Chinese characters in my previous life, and is very similar to the early official script. There are many characters that I naturally cannot write.
Fortunately, the huge text in front of me is very simple, it is actually half of the word "door".
Lu Ming thought for a moment and said, "Move some stones."
Bizhu waved her hand and a huge rock fell in front of the stone wall. Lu Ming climbed up and wrote the other half on the right side according to the size of the word "门".
No reaction at all.
Lu Ming's heart moved slightly, and then he bit his finger and wrote the word "door" on the stone wall again.
Rumble, the earth shook.
The stone wall suddenly retreated, slowly revealing a dark cave entrance.
"Wait for fresh air to come in." Lu Ming stood outside the cave entrance and acted according to a normal person's first reaction.
Bizhu and Liuli stopped talking at this time, but just stared at the cave entrance with serious expressions. Probably, they were also using different methods to investigate the situation inside.
After an hour or two, Lu Ming couldn't wait any longer and stepped in. In fact, for a normal person, it would take a few days before he could enter, and he would also have to send small animals in first to check it out.
The three of them walked forward in the dark corridor. After turning a few corners, they saw a faint light ahead.
Turning again, there was an empty stone hall in front of me, with a hole on the top, through which sunlight shone.
The dusty stone chamber is extremely empty. Although it is obviously not a natural stone cave but was dug by man, there are no weathered tables, chairs, beds or the like, no stone tables or chairs either. It is just an empty stone chamber. Apart from the way you came from, there is no corridor forward. This is the end point.
Bizhu suddenly waved her hand, and the thick dust, stones, dirt, etc. on the ground suddenly retreated to the side as if blown away by the wind. The wind was extremely gentle, and these debris slid on the ground without any dust flying up, and soon retreated to a corner of the stone room.
Some patterns were revealed on the ground.
There were three diagrams distributed in a triangle. Lu Ming stared at them in a daze. They were somewhat similar to the Tai Chi diagram, but not entirely. There was a big difference. However, they also contained the philosophy of Yin and Yang, one gives birth to two, and all things change.
There are also similar engravings of text on these three Tai Chi diagrams. On one corner of the Tai Chi diagram, there is the official script "Northwest", and the text on the other corner seems to be "Wang Lang". Lu Ming guessed for a long time before he suddenly had an idea and felt that it should be these two words.
In the third corner, probably due to age, the carved pattern is badly damaged and the text can no longer be discerned.
Lu Ming looked at it quietly for a while, then walked to the "Looking at the Wolf" pattern, and immediately a familiar and wonderful feeling arose in his heart.
It was similar to the way he changed between different bodies. At this moment, he seemed to be in this stone chamber, and also seemed to be in a desert. Not far away, he could even see the black outline of Wanglang City and the temporary military camp built by the coalition forces.
With a slight movement in his heart, he took a step forward. The scenery in front of him changed. Sure enough, he found himself standing under a towering ancient tree near Wanglang City.
Teleportation array
Lu Ming scratched his head. Although he was used to mysterious things, this kind of abstruseness really left him speechless.
He walked to the ancient tree again, and the magical feeling of being in two places appeared again. Lu Ming's mind moved, and he took a step forward, and sure enough, he was in the stone chamber.
"Teleportation array?" Bizhu asked. Apparently, the secret book she inherited had records of this kind of magic.
Lu Ming smiled and said, "Yes, on the other side is Wanglang City, you guys go and take a look."
Bizhu and Liuli looked at each other, and Bizhu stepped onto the "Wolf-Watching" pattern first.
But Bizhu frowned slightly and didn't say anything for a long time. After a while, she stepped down from the drawing board.
Lu Ming asked: "How is it, have you seen Wanglang City?"
Liuli whispered beside her: "Master, you just stood there for a while, but as soon as you took a step, you disappeared." As she spoke, she also stood on it out of curiosity, but after a while, she rolled her eyes and said, "Forget it, my cultivation is not enough!" and got down from the diagram.
Lu Ming was immediately helpless. He suddenly had many ideas just now. The northwest was probably the Western Regions. The Yinping Ancient Road ended in the Western Regions.
So he was excitedly thinking that he could quickly deploy his armed forces to the Western Regions from Wanglang City. It would be a surprise force, and with careful planning, he could inflict a huge loss on the Sonya people.
Now I think that I took it for granted. Even Bizhu and Liuli didn't have that wonderful feeling, let alone ordinary people.
"Let me see where the other side is!" Lu Ming stood at the northwest corner. No matter what, he had to see where this teleportation array led to.
A strange feeling surged in his heart, and Lu Ming smiled bitterly after taking a step forward.
But it is the "Thousand-Steps Venerable" temple on the outskirts of Bat City.
When he was fighting a lawsuit for Liu Laocai in Batcheng, he became the messenger of the local deity "Three Dragon Gods", called "Thousand-Step Messenger".
However, as his status grew, the new generation of minions here, such as the powerful Luo and the economic Luo, also continuously raised their status as gods. Now, he is already the "Venerable Thousand Lines". In the chanting of the bards, he has become the master of three dragons.
This is the Temple of the Venerable Qianxing, which is magnificent and has huge stone statues with bright colors.
But there was no one in the temple and people were usually not allowed to enter. The only days for worship were weekends.
Lu Ming was at the center of the temple.
It seems like everything is destined by God.
At this moment, Lu Ming suddenly felt an inexplicable awe for some unknown mysterious power.
Back in the stone chamber, Lu Ming said, "That side is the Bate City in the Western Region." But he was a little disappointed. What's the point of only being able to use it? His four bodies can be in different locations in this world, which is much more mysterious than this teleportation array.
"Your Highness, can you try to send items?" Bizhu suggested, and then said: "Your Majesty's clothes are intact, perhaps Your Highness can bring the items over.
Lu Ming's eyes lit up. He looked at the jade beads and glass jewelry, thinking that he could definitely bring them over, and said, "Wait for me to call a helicopter to drop a few supply packages."
Naturally, the orders were given using another body.
About half an hour later, there were several green supply bags under Lu Ming's feet.
After thinking for a while, he said to Bizhu: "I'll go first. You guys put the supply bag in the teleportation array later."
Lu Ming then went to Wanglang City. A helicopter flew over from a distance. All the people on board, including the pilot, were members of the Red Feather Guard.
A green supply bag soon appeared under the ancient tree.
Lu Ming did not move. He waited for several Hong Lings to come over. Lu Ming asked them, "Can you see that thing?" and pointed to the green supply bag.
The red feathers all nodded and reported to their master in unison that they could see it.
"Okay, bring it here!" Lu Ming made a gesture.
You Hongling hurried to get the supply bag.
Lu Ming nodded, took two steps to the magic circle, and returned to the stone chamber.
"When did the supply package disappear?" Lu Ming asked Bizhu and Liuli.
"It was there for quite a while, and it suddenly disappeared just now." Biju replied.
Lu Ming then understood that this "teleportation array" was actually similar to the folded space-time imagined in science fiction works.
The two points of time and space here and under the ancient tree are folded together. If the supply package is placed at this point, it is equivalent to existing here and under the ancient tree.
People nearby can see it here, and people under the ancient tree can also see the supplies packed under the ancient tree.
In fact, the same is true for imagined superluminal travel, which is to fold time and space together, so that you can jump from one space to another instantly without being constrained by the maximum speed of light.
From a scientific point of view, there is no problem with this. However, how to realize the folding of space-time is something that cannot be imagined at present, even if we want to.
The talented people in ancient times achieved this through magic, or they discovered folded time and space and made use of it.
However, except for those with super powers who already have four bodies that can exist simultaneously in different locations in this space and time, this magic circle seems to be unusable on "living things" but usable on "dead things", which can only be explained by the limitations of the magic.
Pure folded space-time in scientific theory cannot have such restrictions, otherwise what is dead matter? What is alive
But no matter what, this magic circle is very useful. It makes it convenient to transport materials to the Western Regions. Even transporting barrels of oil back from the Western Regions is ten thousand times more efficient and ten thousand times less costly than before.
While pondering, Lu Ming glanced at the damaged corner again, stood on it, but there was no reaction, so he had to give up.
