After resting for two days, the four masters and servants sat in a carriage, touring the mountains and rivers all the way, and slowly marched in the direction of Ankang.

After passing through Xiangyang, it entered the primeval forest coverage of Shennongjia. For this primeval forest full of mysteries, Xiao Yiran is also full of curiosity. Whether it was in college, during the Northern Song Dynasty, and now in the Ming Dynasty, there are records of locals discovering savages in history books. Until the era when science was developed like that of the university, this mystery was still not solved, and there were no savages in the primeval forest of Shennongjia?

Because the group had no urgent matters in their hearts, they stayed in Xiangyang for a few more days. About 20 miles west of Xiangyang City, is the famous Gulongzhong, that is, the place where Zhuge Liang cultivated during the Three Kingdoms period. The allusion of the three visits to the thatched house happened here. Xiao Yiran took Qingwen and the three of them in a carriage and went to Longzhong for a day.

Looking at the scene in front of me, I remembered Luo Guanzhong's description of the scenery of Longzhong in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms": the mountain is not high but elegant; The water is not deep and clear; The ground is not wide but flat; The forest is small and lush; Cranes go on a blind date, and the pine fences are green. It seems that Luo Guanzhong is a person from the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty, that is, a person of this era, why hasn't he heard of the book "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" until now?

"Miss, when I was in the Prime Minister's Mansion, I heard that there was a person named Luo, Luo or something, who wrote a very beautiful book, which seems to be the story of Zhuge Liang."

"Is it called Luo Guanzhong, and the title of the book is "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"?"

Although Xiaomei couldn't read and write, she listened to the conversation between Qingwen Musk Yue and Miss, and heard that it was Zhuge Liang's story, so she interjected.

"Miss, it seems to be the name. Did Miss read that book too? ”

Xiao Yiran nodded, and when Qingwen and Musk Yue saw it, they hurriedly asked:

"Miss, what's written in the book?"

"It's the story of the Three Kingdoms, the three visits to the thatched house, the battle of Chibi, the three qi Zhou Yu, Zhuge Liang borrowing the east wind, the grass boat borrowing arrows, and so on."

Xiao Yiran's explanation of the plot of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" aroused Qingwen's three ** who listened to the story, on the way from Xiangyang to Ankang, as long as she saw Xiao Yiran's love, she pestered her to talk about "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". Xiao Yiran's "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is not the era I watched, but the memories left by my life when I was in college.

Although I knew from Xiaomei's words that Luo Guanzhong's book should have been written, it was only circulated in the hands of a few people, and it had not yet been widely circulated. Xiao Yiran really wanted to find a copy of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" of this era to see if it was the same as the version that circulated six or seven hundred years later.

Since leaving Taicang County, it has been eighteen days since the four masters and servants came to Ankang Mansion. After entering the city, he naturally looked for an inn first, settled down, and rested for another night, Xiao Yiran still didn't plan to leave for Nuwa Temple immediately. First of all, I inquired about the exact location of the Nuwa Temple from passers-by, and bought a lot of tributes, and then took a good bath at night, and only got up early the next morning and went to the Nuwa Mountain Township in the southeast of Ankang Mansion.

The Nuwa Temple is located on the Nuwa Mountain in Pingli County. Because it is more than 30 miles away from Ankang City, when Xiao Yiran and his party arrived, it was already the end of the hour, and it was almost the beginning of noon. When he came to the temple gate, Xiao Yiran took a closer look. I saw that the Nuwa Temple covers an area that is not very large, with four main halls and more than 100 houses. There is a stone tablet in front of the temple, and from the inscription, Xiao Yiran learned that the Nuwa Temple here was built in the Xia Dynasty and rebuilt in the Tang and Song dynasties. All along, incense is in full bloom. It's just that today's Xiao Yiran didn't see an endless stream of pilgrims, on the contrary, the entire Nuwa Temple seemed deserted.

Let Qingwen and Musk Yue stay outside the temple, Xiao Yiran only took Xiaomei to carry the tribute to the main hall. Offerings are placed, incense is burned, and finally kneel on the futon in front of the statue of Nuwa Niangniang. Raising his head for the first time, he took a serious look at the statue of Nuwa Niangniang.

Although it was the first time he had seen the statue of Nuwa Niangniang, Xiao Yiran felt very familiar, as if he had known him for many years, especially an inexplicable sense of intimacy, which made Xiao Yiran feel as if he had returned to his long-lost relatives.

At this point, Xiao Yiran completely believed the words of Xuannu Niangniang, and he was really from Nuwa Niangniang's side.

"Niangniang, disciple Xiao Yiran has come to visit Niangniang."

As soon as the words in Xiao Yiran's mouth fell, a gust of wind suddenly blew in the hall, blowing the curtain in front of the statue of Nuwa Niangniang and the skirt on her body. For no reason, this gust of wind brought Xiao Yiran a feeling of chuckle.

"Mother?"

This feeling made Xiao Yiran's heart completely relaxed, and he couldn't help but stand up, looking up at the statue of Nuwa Niangniang, and the corners of his mouth naturally showed a smile.

"Niangniang, is the disciple really from Niangniang's side? The disciple feels so kind and familiar with Niangniang? ”

"Idiot, haven't you understood what you said in Wutai Mountain Tallinn?"

A voice that was exactly the same as the one he heard in Wutai Mountain suddenly sounded in Xiao Yiran's mind. Xiao Yiran subconsciously turned his head to look at Xiaomei at the entrance of the temple, and saw that the other party looked elsewhere, but he didn't find anything at all.

"Leave your body behind, clone come with me."

The voice in his head sounded again, Xiao Yiran suddenly escaped from his clone, stayed in the temple, turned around and went out, took Xiaomei to the outside of the temple, and stepped on the carriage to return to Ankang Mansion City.

After the doppelganger came out, he immediately saw a small bow-shaped door on the back wall of the main hall, and a young, beautiful, and solemn woman was waving at him. Needless to introduce, Xiao Yiran knows that it is Nuwa Niangniang.

"Mother."

"Ran'er, follow me."

Follow Nuwa Niangniang and walk towards a high mountain. At first, it felt that the mountain was far away, but after only three or five steps, the two of them had already come to the front of the mountain. Seeing that there was a scenic valley in front of the mountain, Nuwa Niangniang turned to Xiao Yiran and said:

"Ran'er, do you still know each other?"

Xiao Yiran raised her eyes, and the first thing that caught her eye was a tall poplar tree by the stream in the valley. It's just that when Xiao Yiran's gaze condensed on the poplar tree, where he saw was still the poplar tree, it was clearly the poplar that made him puzzled.

"Topol?!"

"Yes."

This was the first time Xiao Yiran had heard Poplar talking to him, and he was calling his own name. At the same time, two more petite calls came from under the tree:

"Sister Ran'er."

Xiao Yiran saw a crimson and blue flower, swaying, as if greeting himself. The qiē in front of me is so familiar, I have seen it twice in a dream alone. However, Xiao Yiran still didn't get back his former memories, he just felt familiar, but he didn't understand what the relationship between this qiē and himself was.

"Come with me."

Nuwa Niangniang waved her hand and took Xiao Yiran to a cave mansion halfway up the mountain, looking at the qiē in the cave mansion, Xiao Yiran also felt very cordial and familiar, but she couldn't remember when she had been here.

"Hehe, sit down, it's no wonder you. After all, your current three souls and seven spirits have not yet gathered, and it is normal that you can't remember what happened before. ”

"Niangniang, what three souls and seven spirits, what was the previous thing, why can't the disciple understand?"

"Don't worry, wait a minute."

After speaking, I saw Nuwa Niangniang waving to the sky outside one after another, and every time she beckoned, a girl would appear. The first is Xiao Yiran, who is in college for a lifetime, dressed up and has not changed his age and appearance in the slightest. It seems to be the appearance in the memory of Xiao Yiran's clone, the appearance of the twenty-eight years old.

The second is Xiao Yiran in the ancient era. This Xiao Yiran's age is Xiao Yiran, who went to Longshan and fell into the abyss at the same time as Tulou, he is in his thirties, wearing the clothes of that time.

The third is Xiao Yiran in the Northern Song Dynasty. Thirteen or fourteen years old, she is a slightly young girl. is not only Xiao Yiran, but also followed by Qingwen and Musk Yue.

At this point, Nuwa Niangniang stopped her hand and said to Xiao Yiran's clone:

"You should have guessed who the fourth one is, right?"

"Is it the body that just left?"

Nuwa Niangniang smiled and nodded. Immediately, his hands were closed, and he saw that three Xiao Yiran of different ages were instantly squeezed into the clone, and suddenly there was only one Xiao Yiran and Qingwen Musk Yue.

"Miss."

The two shouted in unison.

"You two go down first."

"Yes, sissy."

Following Nuwa's instructions, Qingwen and Musk Yue turned around and disappeared.

"What do you remember now?"

At this time, Xiao Yiran was startled by something that suddenly popped up in his mind, and when he heard Nuwa Niangniang's question, he hurriedly responded:

"Yes, sis."

"What do you remember?"

was asked by Nuwa Niangniang like this, Xiao Yiran blushed. He actually asked Nuwa Niangniang to call her sister, not only that, but even when Xuannu Niangniang came here as a guest, she also asked Xuannu Niangniang to call her sister. No wonder when I saw Xuannu Niangniang for the first time in Huashan Xuannu Niangniang Temple, when she said that the two had a relationship, Xuannu Niangniang chuckled for a long time.

"Niangniang, the disciple was young and ignorant, please don't blame Niangniang."

"Hehe, Ran'er, no one blames you. If it's about age, Ran'er is indeed a sister. ”

Xiao Yiran's sweat flowed down, and he hurriedly waved his hand and said:

"Niangniang, don't say that again, it's tormenting the disciple."

"Do you feel like your memory is a little messy?"

"Yes, mother, it seems that something is missing, and I always feel incoherent."

"Yes, your three souls and seven souls, now only two souls and one soul have returned, and there is still a lack of one main soul. Naturally, it is difficult to recall all the things that happened before. ”

"Niangniang, I don't know where the other main soul of the disciple is now?"

"Before telling you the location of the soul of the other master, let's tell me where you came from. And why there are so many lifetimes of experience. ”

"Thank you Niangniang for solving the doubts of the disciple."

Nuwa Niangniang looked at the current Xiao Yiran, thought about the original Xiao Yiran, and chuckled again. After that, like telling a story, he told Xiao Yiran eloquently.
