Chapter 33: The White Jade Gate
On this day, Mei'er wandered alone on the Xiwang Mountain, she sat on her knees on the boulder platform at the top of the peak, looking at the turbulent and changing fog in front of her, for two years, she had already adapted to the lonely and honorable life in the palace, although her face was reflected in the bright light, but the people in the palace were still in awe of her, and did not dare to slack off half a point.
She flickered the swaying bead curtain in front of her, thinking back on the past few years, and felt like she was having a bizarre dream.
She took out the wooden box from her bosom, and for the past two years, she had spent a lot of energy studying it, hoping to find a way to open it, but no matter what method she used, the wooden box was a solid piece of wood, and there was no trace of it.
She rubbed the complicated patterns on the surface of the box, and my uncle said that this wooden box was the mark of my father's line, and if I could open the wooden box, I would be able to find my roots, but why didn't my mother want me to be entangled?
She walked aimlessly along the mountain road with a melancholy mood, Xiwang Mountain is one of the most precipitous mountains in the Heavenly Palace, the green pines and cypresses inside, the strange rocks are craggy, the scenery is very quiet, she believes that the horses are wandering around, and unconsciously came to a secluded stream.
She paused and glanced in, and couldn't help but be a little surprised, the trees in the stream were yellowed and overgrown with weeds, which was incompatible with the lush style of the Xiwang Mountain.
Her mind moved, she moved her steps, and was about to walk into the mountain stream, when a blue light flashed in front of her, and a bronze fighter appeared, she was startled and took a step back.
Bronze Fighter?
Mei'er frowned, since the chance encounter outside the Tianqian Palace, she deliberately asked the wise man about the origin of the bronze fighter.
The Bronze Fighter is the most mysterious organization in the Heavenly Palace, when a little emperor is born in the palace, there will be twenty-four bronze fighters in the Chenming Cave, they will only obey the emperor's orders for life, and after sixteen years of cultivation, they will hide in various parts of the Heavenly Palace, and only appear in case of some emergencies or the emperor's summons.
The bronze fighter saluted Mei'er and said, "Mastermother, this mountain stream has been abandoned for many generations, and the inside is barren. ”
Mei'er is already in a dull mood today, and she is disgusted with this roadblock, since you call me a master, it will be easy to do, she has a pretty face, and said: "Barrenness is also a kind of scenery, let me go in and take a look, to see what kind of situation it is?" ”
The bronze fighter's face was embarrassed, his body moved, blocking the entrance, he bent down again to salute: "This mountain stream is an ancient relic, there are still many uncivilized beasts in it, fierce and abnormal, the master mother is the body of ten thousand gold, you can't enter this dangerous place." ”
Mei'er let out a faint sigh, raised her slender hand lightly, and a cold wind hit the eyes of the bronze fighter, who raised his head back to avoid the cold wind.
Mei'er praised in a low voice: "Good skills." ”
She clapped her hands and smiled lazily: "The old gentleman told me that Tianqian Palace is a forbidden place, but he didn't say that this is also a forbidden place, in this case, why not if I go in for a visit?" ”
Fine beads of sweat oozed from the tip of the bronze fighter's nose, and he lowered his head and said: "This secluded stream contains danger, if it frightens the master mother, his subordinates can't afford it." ”
Mei'er jumped over the bronze fighter in front of her with light steps, and said lightly: "If you frighten me, I will take it myself." ”
The bronze fighter's face changed, and he turned his head to look in the direction of the temple.
The mountain stream is silent, the trees are sparse, the weeds are overgrown, Mei'er brushes away the thick weeds, and says in her heart: "There are trees and grass, how can this scene be considered barren?" It seems that the guy didn't want me to come in, and said big things to scare me, but I know that I have been to this place a hundred times more desolate. ”
Thinking of the mysterious ruins of the West, she couldn't help but stop in a daze, looked at the undulating grass in the wind, and said to herself, "That was a few years ago? Five years have passed, things have changed, and it has been five years!"
Walking alone for a few miles, the grass became denser and denser, after turning a sharp bend, Mei'er couldn't help but whisper, in front of her was a long grass obliquely to the slanting, the wind swept the grass Lang, rattling, the landscape was extremely shocking, she carefully looked at the terrain, frowned and thought, suddenly understood, it turned out that the front was a slowly rising soil slope, the grass was dense, inadvertently made people have the illusion of a trance, thinking that the grass grew to the sky.
She suddenly got up to explore the curiosity and seek the seclusion, flew on the tip of the grass, followed the long grass swaying under her feet, swept towards the top of the slope, and soon reached the top of the grass slope, staring at it carefully, she didn't feel quite disappointed, the top and the bottom were the same, all dense long grass, the ancient beast in the mouth of the bronze fighter didn't even see half of the fur, she sighed softly, and muttered: "I thought there was something abnormal, it turned out that there was just too much grass." ”
There is no new and interesting thing, then there is no point to stay, she picked a few long grasses, right as a souvenir, turned around and wanted to sweep down the grass slope, between the eyes of the light, feel a bright light piercing, the corner of her eyes curled, turned her head to look, deep in the dense grass, there seemed to be something shining, she waved her sleeves to brush open the dense grass, only to see that on the slope, there stood two small white jade doors with cold light.
Door?
Her eyes twinkled, and there were two doors hidden in the mountain stream?
Guards are guarded by full-time bronze fighters outside the stream, does this indicate that there is some secret hidden here?
With her curiosity together, her footsteps immediately moved, approaching the white jade door.
An anxious call came from the wind: "Master, stand still, don't approach that door." ”
Mei'er turned her head slowly, only to see the wise old man who had always been calm and composed, crawling towards the dirt slope, Mei'er said strangely: "Old man, what are you nervous about?" ”
The sweaty wise man hissed and called, "Master Mother, please come down, there is an ominous place above." ”
Mei'er glanced back at the jade gate, the white jade was smooth and round, and the quality was good, so she couldn't see anything ominous? While he was groaning, the wise man had already swept up the top of the slope, and he stepped in front of the white jade gate, panting like a cow and said: "It's the old slave who was negligent, fortunately, I came one step earlier, and the master mother please go down with the old slave." ”
Mei'er glared at him and said, "What's wrong with the old man?" Is there anything odd about this door? ”
The wise man raised his sleeves to wipe the sweat on his face, and his voice trembled: "Please go down with the old slave, this place is a place where the palace hides anger, and the emperors of all dynasties rarely enter this place, especially the emperor and queen, it is not appropriate to get close to half a step." ”
He couldn't help but pull Mei'er's sleeve and swept down the slope, Mei'er's sleeve flicked, waved his hand away, and said: "Old gentleman, you have to make it clear, didn't you say that in the palace except for Tianqian Palace, I can move around everywhere?" ”
The wise man smiled and said: "The master mother, please calm the anger, this is the old slave's negligence, please follow the old slave back to the temple, and the old slave will talk slowly." ”
