Chapter 0178: The Secret in the Mural
The old fairy and Nie Xiaoqian woke up, and the sky was not yet bright. The distant horizon shone brightly, and lead-gray clouds piled up, slowly spewing out the whiteness of the fish's belly.
Nie Xiaoqian's eyes cleverly turned around, and she exclaimed in surprise: "Hey, where is Brother Xiao Qiong?" ”
The old immortal took a deep breath and secretly sank into the dantian. He stood up and stretched, facing the east to make a breath, ignoring Nie Xiaoqian's overreaction. With Xiao Qiong's ability, she can't be so worried.
After doing the magic skill, the old fairy quickly found the palace according to the weeds that had been cut down all over the street. Xiao Qiong was lying at the gate of the palace, sleeping soundly. The old fairy smiled proudly at Nie Xiaoqian: "How is it?" Your brother Xiao Qiong has lived in the palace. ”
Xiao Qiong was awakened by the voice of the old fairy. When I opened my eyes, I saw no king and the crowd of court maids. The old fairy took Nie Xiaoqian and looked at him happily.
Nie Xiaoqian naughtily twisted Xiao Qiong's ears, looking unforgiving, and shouted: "Brother Xiao Qiong, you are very good at enjoying it, you left us outside to blow the wind all night, and lived in the palace by yourself." ”
"Xiaoqian, don't be unreasonable!"
The old fairy's face changed drastically. Xiao Qiong's mana is boundless, it's terrifying. If you upset him, it's not a joke. Xiao Qiong saw the old fairy's thoughts, and smiled with relief: "Naughty Xiaoqian, I like it." ”
"It's good to like it. I'll marry you when I'm older. ”
Nie Xiaoqian stared at Xiao Qiong half-truthfully, not afraid of life at all, which made Xiao Qiong cry and laugh.
The old fairy had no choice but to reprimand her helplessly: "Little girl, talk nonsense." Master Xiao, tell me, how do you feel after staying overnight? ”
People are old ghosts. Not at all. If a person lives to a certain age, he will naturally become an immortal. The old fairy didn't need to pinch his fingers at all to know that Xiao Qiong had gained.
Xiao Qiong asked, "Grandpa Wang, do you know where Brother Mo's hole is?" If we find this place, maybe we will find our way home. ”
"Oh?"
The old fairy stroked his white beard and fell into deep thought. He has lived in Taoyuan for decades, creating a new world, and he has never heard of the place name "Mo Gelong". Since Xiao Qiong can say this place name, it is definitely not groundless.
Seeing that the old fairy had no answer, Xiao Qiong was not reluctant, patted the dust on his body, got up and walked towards the depths of the palace. In this deep mansion compound, hundreds of rooms are connected, and people will get lost when they walk in.
Xiao Qiong, the old immortal and Nie Xiaoqian walked around for most of the day, and all the rooms were empty, not even the lives of mice, spiders, cockroaches and the like. What exactly did the Rakshasa Kingdom go through? The more you go, the more scary it becomes.
It's a lonely dead city!
They walked across a small bridge under which water murmured and dark green wild plants floated on the water's surface. No fish and shrimp. From time to time, one or two skeletons can be seen, staggered in a corner. The ancients grinned at strange visitors.
Nie Xiaoqian boldly walked over, reached out and touched it, and the whole head rolled down. These things that have long been calcified can actually be blown off by a breeze. Is it also providential to be able to have a close contact with future generations?
In front of it is another ancient building. Xiao Qiong pushed the door in, the door creaked, and the dust fell one after another. Enter the room and find that there are walls full of murals.
There are nineteen frescoes in total, which tell the love story of a king and a beautiful woman. The king paid a private visit to meet a folk woman. The king fell in love with this beauty and brought her into the palace to become a court maid. Although the status of the palace maid is low, it makes Long Yan happy. The king sang every night and indulged in wine all day long. The government was deserted, and the government and the opposition were shocked. Uncle Wang colluded with foreign forces to launch a palace coup. The ancient city of Rakshasa set off a bloody storm. Thousands of people were captured and beheaded. In the end, the palace maid was captured by Uncle Wang, and the king fled for his life, and was shot by an arrow from a soldier on horseback, and fell in a pool of blood. The king loves beauty, and as a result, he loses his country and his beauty. The palace maid was forced to become Uncle Wang's concubine and served Uncle Wang night and night.
The last painting shows the palace maid holding a sword in one hand and the head of Uncle Wang in the other, resolutely walking towards the mountain and disappearing into the vast primeval forest. The picture ends here, and what else happened in the ancient city of Rakshasa is not shown on the screen.
These scenes seem to show a real piece of history to later generations. As for the corpses on the streets of the city, whether it is related to this history, Xiao Qiong does not know. The beautiful palace maid, holding a sword in one hand and a head in the other, has changed from the original beauty and innocence to a hideous face, and her eyes are full of hatred.
Is the direction in which the palace maid is going? A huge doubt rose from Xiao Qiong's heart. The last picture is displayed in the background, behind the palace maid, there is a tower, Xiao Qiong counted, the tower is nineteen stories high!
In other words, the direction in which the palace maid went was the vast mountains where Xiao Qiong was standing in the nineteen-story tower. Is this a historical coincidence? Or is it a mystery that the painter deliberately left behind?
The ingenious fit made Xiao Qiong very excited! The Nine Heavens Xuannu said that if you find Mo Geyao, you will find your way home.
The old immortal saw hope in Xiao Qiong's eyes. He didn't break it, but asked with a smile, "Can you go home?" ”
Xiao Qiong nodded, reluctantly left the mural, and returned to the empty ancient street. The avenue, although not as spacious as a modern street, is paved with granite. Weeds and trees stubbornly emerge from the cracks in the granite, turning the city into a forest. Buildings of all kinds have been hiding in the forest for hundreds of years. Wordlessly recounting the prosperity of the past life to the people who came after.
The way home has never been easier. Xiao Qiong held the wind-chasing sword in his hand and slashed at the wall formed by tiger thorns, and in just two minutes, the entire wall collapsed, opening a road leading directly to Taoyuan Village.
The three of them did not return overnight, and the underground palace of the gymnasium was naturally chaotic. Dai Xiaoxiao and Ah Xiang are both stakeholders, crying, making trouble, and going out to find someone overnight. Ling Xiaoyun used a lot of strength to calm them down. And promised them that if they didn't come back the next day, they would take them to find someone himself.
When Xiao Qiong appeared in the dungeon with an old man and a young man, he was still holding a sword shining with cold light in his hand, and the somewhat panicked scene in the dungeon was finally controlled. And all the faces of the people turned from sorrow to joy.
Xiao Qiong saw a pair of eyes full of expectation, and deeply felt the mystery of the Nine Heavens Xuannu's dream. Confidently announced to everyone: "Have a good day of rest today, and tomorrow, I will take you out of here!" ”
The three Taoyuan villagers, Old Immortal, Ah Xiang and Nie Xiaoqian, were stunned for a moment, and asked in unison, "What did you say, you are leaving?" ”
They could see from Xiao Qiong's attitude that he was definitely not joking. Where is the way home, the old fairy naturally did not understand the mystery.
