The spirit looms in the Taixu Gate Chapter 16 The mural hides the past
In the corridor, the murals on both sides are faintly visible against the backdrop of candles.
The murals are so delicate and lifelike that it's not hard to see that they're made entirely of fire, and each one tells a story.
The frescoes are old and new, and the years have left varying degrees of imprint on their surface.
Even the youngest mural looks decades old, and the oldest one, Huang Chen, can't tell the age for a while.
Seeing that Huang Chen was curious about the murals, Shanshan immediately explained: "Huang Chen is an immortal, these murals record the most outstanding lords of our Jinsha country since the founding of the country, and only the lord who changed the fortunes of the Jinsha country can be depicted on the murals, which will be admired by future generations." ”
Huang Chen nodded, pointed to the nearest mural and said, "This painting seems to have some connection with the Taixu Gate. ”
I saw that the mural depicted a mountain gate, very similar to the Taixu Gate, a girl dressed in rags, staggering, kneeling in front of the mountain gate, blood flowed down the stone steps, and a man in a green shirt helped the girl up.
"Yes, the place in the painting is indeed the Taixu Gate, the girl is my grandmother, when the Jinsha country suffered from the war, the people were not able to make a living, my grandmother regardless of the hardships of the road, alone after a lot of hardships and finally arrived at the Taixu Gate, for which the legs were almost crippled, but fortunately, God bless the Jinsha country, so that the grandmother met an immortal in the Taixu Gate, with the help of this immortal, only then can there be the peace and prosperity of the Jinsha country. ”
"Does the lord know the name of this man in a green shirt?"
Liu Liang listened to this and asked with interest, the matter of Jinsha Country also made a lot of noise in Taixumen, it is said that the two true disciples of the true transmission argued endlessly, some people said that it was the Zhengfa Peak who came forward to calm down the matter, but some people said that there were two voices inside the Zhengfa Peak on this matter, and it was difficult to make a decision for a while, and it was someone else who took action to smooth out the matter.
This grandmother didn't know, but mentioned that after the immortal healed his legs, he sent the white crane to send the grandmother back, and also gave the jade flute calling the white crane to the grandmother, and promised the grandmother not to worry, and returned to China to recuperate with peace of mind. Since then, the jade flute has become a token passed down from generation to generation by the lord of Jinsha Country. ”
Yan Shanxin slowly talked about the past and took out the jade flute hanging on his chest.
Huang Chen and the others saw that it was indeed a jade flute calling for the white crane.
"This person's status must not be low, he can make all the true disciples bow their heads, and the decree issued is obviously biased towards the Jinsha Kingdom, and for the Tang Dynasty and the Yan Dynasty, they will each play fifty boards. ”
Huang Chen thought in his heart.
Along the way, the people and things in the mural were explained clearly by Shanshanxin, and the history of Jinsha Country was roughly understood in a short period of time.
But only the oldest mural was not mentioned, and Huang Chen did not ask questions.
The mural was the largest, but there was only a lonely city in the painting, and there was no one who changed the fortunes of the country.
But it was this lonely city, which was completely different from Jinsha Country, that aroused Huang Chen's interest.
When he was about to walk out of the corridor, Huang Chen suddenly asked, "Lord of the country, Huang Chen has something to ask." ”
"Huang Chen, please speak. ”
"I wonder if the lord of the country has heard of Loulan?"
"Loulan?!"
As soon as the word Loulan came out, the candle flame in the entire corridor inadvertently rose a point, but it returned to calm in an instant.
Liu Liang didn't notice this subtle change, but Huang Chen's cultivation of the Reincarnation Sutra, even if he hadn't opened his mind, he still noticed this strangeness, and couldn't help but look back at the secret room again.
After thinking for a moment, Shanshanxin's face was still full of confusion, and he shook his head and said: "Forgive Shanshan's loneliness, Jinsha has been established here for thousands of years, and I have never heard of such a country as Loulan. ”
"In that case, forget it. Huang Chen only learned from an ancient book that there was once an ancient kingdom between the Tang Dynasty and the Great Jade Dynasty, named Loulan. Since I don't even know the lord of the country, I think it's a mistake in the book. ”
Huang Chen waved his hand and then said.
"Lord, it's not too early, so the two of us will retire first and go to the Huoluo Mine to investigate. ”
Liu Liang said.
Yan Shanxin nodded, took out a sheepskin map from his arms, drew a line from it and said: "Second-line immortals, tomorrow I will inform my uncle of the route of the fire spirit, as for the horse bandits, it depends on the two immortals." ”
The two nodded, took the map, and hurried to the Huoluo Mine.
Yan Shanxin looked at the back of Huang Chen, who was leaving, with a complicated look in his eyes.
The temperature difference between day and night in the desert is huge, but the sudden drop in temperature cannot dampen people's enthusiasm in the slightest.
Jinsha Country Middle School is still bustling with hustle and bustle.
Huang Chen and Liu Liang put on their cloaks again, bought a horse each, and rushed to the Huoluo Mine.
"Senior Brother Liu, I don't know how much Senior Brother Song Yang knows?"
In the face of Huang Chen's sudden question, although Liu Liang didn't know why Huang Chen suddenly asked about Song Yang, he still said: "I don't have a deep relationship with Song Yang, so naturally I don't know much. He is a member of the Great Yan Dynasty, and he started a few years earlier than me, but unfortunately his cultivation path is not smooth, and he is still in the realm of qi and blood when he is over thirty years old, and he has not been able to open his mind for a long time, so he can only continue to be a disciple of the Taixu Outer Sect. Later, the Jinsha Kingdom began to pay tribute, but there was a lack of a caretaker, so Song Yang was sent to the Jinsha Kingdom and became a national teacher. ”
"Was it given up by the master?"
Huang Chen muttered, although Liu Liang said it very tactfully, Huang Chen understood the purpose of Taixumen's arrangement.
If you are over 30 years old, it means that your talent has not been fulfilled as expected, even if you are lucky to open up in the future, how much longevity can you fight for?
"Senior Brother Huang, don't be so sad, qi and blood cultivation may not be anything in the Taixu Gate, but in the world, it is enough to ensure the safety of one party. Being a national teacher of Jinsha Country is a good choice for Senior Brother Song, and now Senior Brother Song has won the hearts of beauties in the eyes of this Jinsha Country, and his cultivation has also improved into the realm of dirty essence, and I believe that there will be a breakthrough soon. ”
Liu Liang couldn't help but comfort Huang Chen when he heard Huang Chen's whispering.
Huang Chen shook his head and said, "Senior Brother Liu, I think you underestimated Song Yang, he has already been a Ming Qi Realm cultivator. ”
"What? Why did Senior Brother say this? The injuries on Senior Brother Song's body can't be faked. ”
Liu Liang asked puzzled.
"The injury is true, but he has already woken up, and he has just been pretending to be dizzy. As early as when I saw Song Yang, I found that the fire vitality in the fire spirit jade bed was dissipating little by little, to be precise, the jade bed was not warming Song Yang, but Song Yang was devouring the fire spirit little by little. I didn't know for sure, but when I left the corridor, a sudden hint of fire from the secret room confirmed what I was thinking. ”
Huang Chen slowly explained the cause and effect.
"Is there such a thing!? Then why is Senior Brother Song like this?"
Huang Chen was silent.
Seeing that Huang Chen was speechless, Liu Liang continued: "Senior Brother must be too careful, if it is really as you said, presumably Senior Brother Song must have something unspeakable, you and I should eliminate the bandits as soon as possible, and it is important to return to Taixumen as soon as possible." ”
It seemed that Liu Liang was only slightly surprised by what Huang Chen said, but he didn't take it to heart, urging Huang Chen to continue on his way.
It's just that at this time, Huang Chen felt that this mission was becoming more and more interesting, with Song Yang pretending to be asleep in the front, and Shanshan lying in the back.
When Shanshanxin was asked about Loulan, although there was confusion on his face, he directly said that there is no such country as Loulan, and Huang Chen has never said that Loulan is a country.
And the oldest mural engraved in the ancient city of Loulan described in "View of the World", Jinsha and Loulan must be inextricably linked.
Seeing Liu Liang walking away, Huang Chen did not stay, and chased after him.
