Ling Mulan and Ling Nianqing finally arrived outside the valley of Xanadu after a three-day journey.
Back then, when Ling Nianqing chose to leave the valley, she did not choose to move far away, but settled down in the small city closest to the valley.
Over the years, according to the memory of the original owner, those outsiders who entered the valley did not stop searching for their traces. In addition to sending people to guard the valley, they also sent many people all over the world to search for their traces.
But they never thought that the two girls they had been looking for for seven years were actually living under their noses.
This is Ling Nianqing's strategy, and she did succeed. Not only did she not hide her whereabouts, but she became a well-known figure in the society by learning medical skills. This also invisibly reduced those who hunted them down , the degree of suspicion towards Ling Nianqing.
Ling Nianqing made good use of these people's psychology and acted in reverse.
As for Ling Nianqing's choice, there was also a reason why the original owner couldn't do without the spiritual liquid of the spiritual spring. But those outsiders must not know the situation of Ling Mulan.
Wait... Judging from this, the adoptive mother left the valley, and as a result, other people came to the valley to hunt her down. Perhaps it was not hunting, but searching.
In the valley, after the adoptive mother left, there were only Ling Nianqing and Ling Mulan.
Then, the target of these outsiders entering the valley is Ling Mulan, who was born with a spiritual body!
Looking back, these people are looking for Ling Mulan, and the Qi family also needs Ling Mulan. From this point of view, these people should also be members of the Taoist school.
Why do Taoist people insist on holding on to Ling Mulan? There must be a secret in it, Ling Mulan frowned and thought, an ominous premonition arose in her heart, maybe... there is a huge conspiracy hidden in it.
Ling Mulan parked the car in a hidden place in the valley, looked at the cabins in the valley through the bushes from top to bottom, and saw that there were still people living there, so even if those people were in the last days, Still didn't leave here.
It's really persistent, Ling Mulan was filled with emotions, but fortunately this time, her destination was not the cabin in the valley, otherwise she would be put on the sidelines.
Ling Mulan took Ling Nianqing's hand, and Ling Nianqing was tied up, and Ling Mulan picked out the treasures that Ling Nianqing picked out from the Qi family's luggage, and the two of them gave up the car and walked along The mountain path climbed up to the side of the valley, a tall and steep mountain.
Ling Mulan followed the plot, Qi Shanzhu searched for the route of the mausoleum, and climbed up step by step.
Ling Mulan is weak, and after walking a few steps, she becomes tired and limp. Every time at this time, she can't help but climb onto Ling Nianqing's back, rubbing against Ling Nianqing's cold neck, making her Ling Nianqing continued to move forward with her on her back.
The roads in the mountains are not easy to walk. There is a lot of water vapor on the mountains and the soil is wet. Sometimes, if you can't walk steadily, you will fall off the cliff.
Halfway through the climb, Ling Mulan tied her and Ling Nianqing together with a rope. Ling Nianqing's strength was as strong as a monster, basically lifting a car of several thousand kilograms, not at all question.
In the memory of the original owner, Ling Nianqing was raised by her adoptive mother to be a monster with infinite strength. She was thrown in the middle of this mountain by her adoptive mother since she was a child, and then she was asked to climb in the mountains, and she would come up every day. Several trips.
The adoptive mother is a very mysterious person, she is very kind to Ling Mulan, and the supply of spiritual liquid is endless.
As for Ling Nianqing, she would boil the foul-smelling Chinese medicine and let Ling Nianqing drink it, and every night, when Ling Mulan was soaking in the comfortable Lingquan water, Ling Nianqing would soak in the almost boiling hot water Among them, the adoptive mother would throw poisonous snakes, scorpions and other poisonous insects and beasts into the water, and let Ling Nianqing soak for a long time.
Those are very irritating things. Once the original owner saw Ling Nianqing taking a bath, he was so frightened that he didn't sleep well for a month.
That is to say, under this kind of non-human torture, Ling Nianqing's physique is much better than normal people. Before she becomes a zombie, she can punch a hole in the wall of the building at will. This is what the original owner personally saw. have witnessed.
But now, Ling Nianqing took Ling Mulan to climb the mountain, and she didn't feel tired at all. If Ling Mulan didn't want to exercise her weak body, she would definitely lie on Ling Nianqing and let her lead her forward.
The road in the mountains is getting more and more difficult to walk. It was still muddy before, but there is still a road, but now, it has become an almost vertical mountain. During this period, there is only a palm-sized path around the mountain, and you can continue to climb up.
Ling Mulan almost stood on tiptoe, and walked over step by step, but she didn't last long, before she was carried by Ling Nianqing on her shoulders, and she carried her back to the top of the mountain effortlessly.
They spent two days and two nights on the mountain. When they reached the top of the mountain, Ling Mulan felt that she was going to collapse. She sat in the corner of the top of the mountain, looked at the direction of the sun, and silently recited Tai Chi gossip From the azimuth map, I found the location of the dead spot, which is a very ordinary pine tree. Ling Mulan thought of the description in the plot, which is such a tree.
She walked forward happily, and rubbed on the trunk of the elm tree for a long time. According to the plot description in her mind, on the veins of the trunk of the pine tree, she drew a pattern of guiding talismans with regular strokes. After a stroke, the pine tree shook, and the open space on the top of the mountain on her left side collapsed, and the stairs naturally appeared one by one. After the shaking was over, a simple staircase winding downward appeared in the listening area. In front of Mulan's eyes.
Ling Mulan bent down to look inside, turned on the flashlight to take a picture, and found that the steps of the stairs were very high and extended downwards, giving people an illusion that they extended deep into the ground.
She frowned and hesitated for a few seconds, then took another photo, finally sighed, and let Ling Nianqing walk ahead to open the way helplessly, while she followed her and walked in together.
When the two of them reached the last step, the mountain shook again. Ling Mulan thought there was going to be an earthquake, so she jumped on Ling Nianqing in fright, but after a while, the shaking stopped and the light dimmed , Ling Mulan looked up, and saw that the cave on the top of the mountain was naturally and slowly closed.
Ling Mulan took a deep breath, followed Ling Nianqing, and continued to walk forward.
The road here is relatively narrow, but it is not a problem for two people to walk side by side. Fortunately, they entered the mausoleum through regular channels, so the defense device here was not activated, so Ling Mulan was relieved.
After walking through a section of the tomb passage, they walked into a hall.
There was a sudden warm current in the air, and Ling Mulan felt warm all over her body, and then, the large oil lamps placed in every corner of the hall were automatically lit up.
Ling Mulan looked at the hall with these bright lights.
On the walls of the hall, colorful pen and ink are used to depict compact images.
Ling Mulan walked over curiously, and of course she didn't forget to hold Ling Nianqing's hand to go together. She used a flashlight to shine on the murals in the hall, and looked at one mural after another. She found that it depicted the mythical and fantastic scenes of Pangu creating the world and Nuwa mending the sky.
The first painting is the beginning of chaos, followed by a man holding up the sky and the earth... Then a woman in a long gown with a human body and a snake tail, holding a huge stone, pushes it against the sky... Houyi shoots the sun, Chang'e Flying to the moon... Immortality... Spring and Autumn and Warring States struggle...
Ling Mulan painted these exquisite murals with her fingers. Looking at the myths and legends in ancient China, in the next picture, Qin Shihuang unified the whole country. A young man with a fairy spirit walked in front of Qin Shihuang, holding a A plate with a huge and ugly pill inside.
Ling Mulan's heart tightened, and she thought: This could not be the medicine of immortality, could this man be the ancestor of Taoism? !
She continued to watch, and saw a woman in an exquisite gown was brought in front of Qin Shihuang and the man by the guards. The man said something to Qin Shihuang, and then, the next painting was the woman being forcibly opened by the guards The mouth, that ugly pill, was stuffed into her mouth.
Ling Mulan was horrified, what is this
The picture was broken here, and she walked to another wall, wanting to continue watching, but the next picture seemed to forcibly skip the narration, and began to describe this fairy man , kneeling beside three young children.
The three children were brought up by him, and each of them learned different things. When the children grew up and became youths, the man of immortal demeanor still did not age. When countless human beings knelt beside these three youths, on the mural, Instead of describing this fairy-like man, he talked about the behavior of these three young people afterwards.
Among them, one became the head of imperial orthodox Taoism, one became the patriarch of a folk Taoism family, and the other lived in seclusion in the mountains with a few members of his clan.
The murals that followed focused on the rise and fall of the orthodox Taoist sect that became the head of the imperial power.
The world has changed, and the sea has changed. From the Han Dynasty to the Tang and Song Dynasties, and then to the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the pen and ink were cut off at the end of the Qing Dynasty, and the emperor of the Qing Dynasty abdicated.
The next mural is not as exquisite as the previous one. The painting is very rough, and the strokes are coherent, and the painting style is the same. It can be seen that it was done by one person. It depicts the birth and reproduction of a family, and the children grow up. After that, he lived in Xanadu and lived a life indifferent to the world.
From the end of the Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China, from the Republic of China to the founding of the country, from the founding of the country to the period of the Cultural Revolution.
Men with red armbands on their arms broke into this paradise. They abused the tribes here, took the girls away, and disappeared, while the other tribesmen, like the original owners, were harvested and killed alive. The bones are made into sharp weapons, and the blood is made into talismans.
Thousands of clansmen were all killed just like that.
The painting style of the mural became frenzied, and it could be seen that the person who painted it was very excited. The next mural was like an omen.
Repeat the painting of the chaotic scene in the early days of the universe.
Against the background of the dark sky, there are countless bones lying on the ground.
Then, the bones became the walking dead, and the bones and humans killed each other. It is obvious that it depicts the present end times!
The person who drew the picture actually foreshadowed the existence of the end of the world!
Who is this person? Could it be her adoptive mother
Yes, it is very possible that this is definitely written by the adoptive mother, because in this valley, for a long period of time, only the three of them stayed here, and no outsiders ever entered it.
Who is the adoptive mother? Why did she paint these murals
Ling Mulan continued to read in a daze.
But the next mural depicts three people, still three people, the same as the three children led by the immortal man in Qin Shihuang's period, three young children.
They practiced together, grew up together, and in the end—lay together in a coffin.
Ling Mulan's hair was standing on end, she shook her body, and immediately walked to Ling Nianqing's side, took a few deep breaths, and then regained her composure.
She looked around, but there was nothing else besides the murals.
As mentioned in the plot, Qi Shanzhu did not enter this room, and Ling Mulan felt chills in her heart. Did she go the wrong way, or... In fact, Qi Shanzhu thought she had entered the mausoleum, but actually On, but entered the wrong path
It is indeed very possible, Qi Shanzhu entered the mausoleum and recuperated for two years, after going back again, Ling Nianqing had already recovered her memory and began to search for Ling Mulan's location.
Therefore, the key to the mausoleum lies in the body of Ling Nianqing.
Ling Mulan's body stiffened in an instant, she swallowed her saliva, looked up slowly, and saw Ling Nianqing, whose eyes were originally gray and white, now his eyes became blood red, and he was looking at her without blinking.
