Chapter 1019: Nameless Grave
Zhao Qingpeng turned his head to look at Lin Wan and persuaded in a low voice: "Wan'er, let's go." ”
Lin Wan nodded, looked at the little white tiger reluctantly, and said in a deep voice: "Xiao Qi, don't be afraid, I will live in the mountains and will not leave you alone." I will wait for you to grow up, wait for you to become stronger, become a real divine beast, the White Tiger, and then break away from the control of the Golden Python predecessors and return to my side. ”
The little white tiger stopped struggling and looked at Lin Wan in a daze, I don't know if I understood, but the anger in its eyes was even worse.
Lin Wan smiled softly at the little white tiger and comforted: "Don't worry, Xiao Qi, you have to eat more, move more, grow up quickly, and learn skills from the predecessors of the golden python, so that you can protect yourself and protect me in the future." After a pause, he put away his smile and said word by word: "Also, rescue your mother." ”
The little white tiger was stunned for a moment, and suddenly looked at Lin Wan with wide eyes, and his gaze gradually became firm.
The golden python also turned around and looked at Lin Wan suspiciously, his eyes were full of puzzlement, and there was inexplicable anger, as if Lin Wan said something that should not be said, which angered it.
Lin Wan twisted his eyebrows and thought about it, and finally guessed the reason for the golden python's anger, and said: "The golden python senior, Xiao Qi's mother, the white tiger senior, I don't know why I was locked up in a big iron cage on the cliff mountain in the capital, and I may have been locked up for decades. ”
The anger in the golden python's eyes seemed to burn, and only a "snap" sounded when the golden python's tail suddenly hit the hard ground.
Lin Wan only felt deafening, dizzy, and the ground shook. Then I felt myself being pulled by a large hand and fell into a warm embrace.
After a while, the mountain regained its calm, Lin Wan slowly opened her eyes, and saw that Zhao Liniang was holding herself tightly, and Zhao Qingpeng protected them with her body, with her back to the golden python, and used her back to block the fallen stones on the stone wall.
Zhao Liniang asked anxiously in Lin Wan's ear, "Wan'er, are you okay?"
Lin Wan looked at Zhao Liniang with concern, shook her head slightly, and asked worriedly, "Mother, I'm fine, are you okay?"
Zhao Liniang also shook her head, didn't say anything more, turned her head to look at Zhao Qingpeng, and asked worriedly, "Qingpeng, are you injured?"
Zhao Qingpeng smiled faintly, shook his head and said, "It's just some gravel chips, which are not in the way." ”
Lin Wan raised his head and carefully observed the situation in the stone room. I saw that there was no change except for some small gravel falling on the ground. There was no damage to the walls or roof, and there were no cracks in the ground that had been slapped by the golden python.
Zhao Qingpeng saw Lin Wan's doubts, smiled slightly, and explained in a low voice: "The golden python predecessor will not destroy this stone room, it will exert its force in the mountain outside the stone room. All that's falling is the weathered debris on the walls over the years, so you can't see it. ”
Lin Wan took a deep breath, nodded, and turned his eyes to look at the little white tiger, only to see it shrinking in the corner, and it was also looking over at Lin Wan, with a low roar of "whoop" from its mouth, with fear and grief.
The golden python had regained his composure, and glanced at the little white tiger lightly, and the little white tiger suddenly didn't dare to make any more sound. The two chickens in the corner of the wall were also frightened and fainted, and fell to the ground motionless.
The stone room suddenly fell silent, knowing that the golden python was angry, so no one dared to make a sound.
I don't know if the golden python looked at Lin Wan and the others as an eyesore, flicked his tail, opened the mechanism in the stone room, and the sarcophagus was slowly removed, revealing a secret passage.
Zhao Qingpeng arched his hand to the golden python, didn't say anything, motioned to Zhao Liniang and Lin Wan to go down first, and then walked at the end by himself, and the three of them walked down the passage in turn.
After walking for a while, Lin Wan asked suspiciously: "Uncle Qingpeng, will the senior of the golden python not open the door for us if he is angry?"
Zhao Qingpeng was stunned, shook his head amusedly, and said, "I haven't thought about this question, because we have never seen the angry appearance of the golden python seniors before. ”
Zhao Liniang also smiled and said, "Wan'er, don't worry, the golden python seniors won't embarrass us, you see, didn't you let us out?"
Lin Wan thought about it, nodded reassuringly, and asked curiously: "Uncle Qingpeng, you said, are the bones of Feng Qianyu's predecessor really in that sarcophagus?"
Zhao Qingpeng shook his head again and said, "I'm not sure, but I guess the bones of Feng Qianyu's predecessor are not in that sarcophagus." Otherwise, the Golden Python seniors wouldn't always let us pass through this dark passage. Liniang and I found a nameless grave in the cave under the waterfall, I don't know if it was Feng Qianyu's predecessor or the princess of Jianguo. ”
Lin Wan smiled slightly, thought about it, and guessed: "Maybe it's the tomb where Feng Qianyu's predecessors and the princess of Jianguo were buried together?" Maybe it was the golden python seniors who buried them together, but after all, the golden python seniors couldn't write, and there was no way to help them set up tombstones, so it became an unknown grave." ”
Zhao Qingpeng shook his head and said lightly: "I don't think so, I think it should be Feng Qianyu's predecessors who deliberately didn't erect a tombstone, because they didn't want to be disturbed." ”
Lin Wan felt a little strange when he heard this, but it was more like he was talking about himself, and he didn't want others to disturb him and Zhao Liniang's peaceful life in the Medicine King Valley.
Zhao Liniang didn't seem to hear what Zhao Qingpeng meant, and took Lin Wan's hand and walked forward. Lin Wan also obediently followed Zhao Liniang slowly forward, silent.
Soon we reached the exit, which was a large cave, and in one of the innermost corners of the cave, there was indeed a small burial mound. Lin Wan passed by here several times, but didn't find it. Because, if you don't look closely, no one will notice this inconspicuous little mound.
But if you look closely, you will see that the mound is dry, sturdy, and obviously deliberately piled up and cleaned frequently.
Looking at the simple tomb in front of him, Lin Wan's heart was sad, and he didn't know whether to be happy that Feng Qianyu and Princess Jianguo were finally together, or should he feel sad for their unfortunate fate?
Zhao Liniang sighed lightly and persuaded in a low voice: "Wan'er, let's go." Your Uncle Qingpeng is right, no matter who is buried here, let's not disturb them. ”
Lin Wan nodded slightly, and followed Zhao Liniang to the entrance of the cave. Then, I saw Zhao Liniang take out a finger-thick hemp rope from the branch on the side of the cave entrance and hang the hemp rope on a pulley at the entrance of the cave.
The other two ends of the hemp rope are tied to the tallest ginkgo tree in the Valley of Flowers, and the other end is tied to a two-person high peach tree. There are also three small pulleys on the hemp rope, each with a five-foot rope hanging from it. Zhao Liniang tied one of the ropes around her waist, then lifted her chin and motioned for Lin Wan to follow her example.
