Chapter 24: Ji Zhenxiang. Dense forest changes
I was hovering between two forks in the road.
One of the small forks in the road is still along the lotus pond and back to the same place.
The other is a small stone arch door, and the top of the stone arch door is written in a dark font, vaguely written: Jungle.
From the perspective of my antique studies, this small stone door, including the font written on it, shows that it has gone through a hundred years of vicissitudes. The font above, I can't even tell which year and which generation, it stands to reason that it can be figured out which year and which generation it belongs to through the traces of its font, but I can't figure it out at all.
The stone gate is old and mottled.
It's really like a hundred years of time.
I have always had a keen interest in monuments, and when I was studying antiquities at university, the professors of the college praised me for my talent in this area.
With a little curiosity, of course, I also want to get through this dense forest and reach my dormitory as soon as possible, and I am a little tired and excited now.
Bewitched, I stepped inside.
I found that behind the door is a dense field of flowers and trees Cordyceps, the trees are flourishing, all the trees planted here are hundred-year-old trees, densely gathered, in the gaps between the flowers and trees, the sunlight does not seem to be able to penetrate in, a trace of secluded, deep refreshing.
You can make up in your mind, ten meters away is a sunny day, ten meters away is a deep one, two completely different worlds.
If you have ever seen >, then I am very responsible to tell you that I am like suddenly stumbling into the cobweb-covered forest on that day, with a century-old tree shrouded in silence, and you feel like a speck of dust in this forest.
So small that all I could do was breathe.
I've had so many strange things happen during this time, and anything is possible here.
I bet that Feng Zirui is a talent, and the gentleman is frank. In my mind, he is a rare decent person in the palace, and his sweetheart is still Aunt Mo Ya. Is this a guarantee of credit, anyway, I believe in him, at least his vision is pure and unblemished.
It's not like a certain man who turns his face faster than he turns a book, and he pulls me here very hard.
So in the end, I bet that the prince will be honest with me, and he has no possibility of deceiving me, because there is no conflict of interests between the two of us.
He is just an idle prince, and I am just a concubine who has been left out in the cold.
With intuition, I continued to walk forward without hesitation, Prince Zirui said, through this dense forest, will you reach the Vulture Palace? Then I'll have to get out of here.
Wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes, he didn't hesitate and continued to go deeper.
The deeper I go, the more curious I feel, all the plants here feel very strange, it seems that the plants of the ancient times are still slightly different from our modern things, and after thousands of years of continuous evolution, they will evolve to the plants I recognize in 2019.
So if somebody had told me that they had something like dinosaurs here, maybe I wouldn't have thought it was particularly fantastical, because I was in this era thousands of years ago.
Just like Spielberg's >, anything is possible.
The more I watched, the more excited I became, for an archaeologist like me, this was a rare experience, which I couldn't learn from books, and even didn't necessarily exist in books. I thought to myself, if I can really travel back to 2019, then I publish these things, maybe I should make a fortune too.
I walked all the way and observed everything around me deeply.
The leaves of these trees are thick and peach-shaped. The edges are a ring of dark brown with a layer of fluff on the page, like the succulents I grow regularly, or to be exact, the super-large succulents I see.
I'm afraid this is the ancestor of the meat plant.
The flower was still very small, as big as a sunflower, but its color was very peculiar, all delicate deep purple, really beautiful, and it was so lovely that people couldn't put it down.
The meadow was full of all kinds of flowers, many of which I could hardly name, as brilliant as the stars in the sky, and like the soul of the universe.
The wind occasionally comes out, these flowers sway with the wind, and this sentence of flower Xie gently swirls on the ground, wafting a burst of confusing dark fragrance, even this fragrance feels very strange.
It's the kind that refreshes the spleen, or disturbs the mind.
I couldn't help but wonder slightly, and I even felt as if I had strayed into a sea of flowers by mistake.
You can imagine that this is a very strange thing: flowers need sunlight to grow more vigorously, and here it is rare to find a ray of sunlight, and flowers can grow so lush and beautiful without photosynthesis.
It's incredible.
More importantly, I kept walking inside, I didn't feel that I could find a path or a path that allowed me to cross quickly, and what I saw was a vast expanse of land that suddenly opened up.
The so-called meandering path is impossible to find.
Every trail, every trail leads you to a wider realm.
You can even imagine that the place you go to will only allow you to reach another one that may not reach your so-called Vulture Palace.
I have a faint feeling that if this place can also lead to the Vulture Palace, then the Vulture Palace should be a big cliff in this land.
There was a faint lead to a high mountain peak, and I could even see the outline of the mountain in the distance.
There was a cold war, maybe this was not the way out of the Vulture Palace, or maybe I was wrong, or it could be another exit from the palace.
When I changed my mind, I was shocked by my own bold idea.
As far as I can tell my limited knowledge of archaeology, royal palaces are impenetrable, and all the precautions can be taken beyond all your assumptions, to use one word: impregnable.
But in this iron-walled imperial city, there is such a big crack that can lead from the inside to the outside, which means that the palace is not an iron wall.
So in this case, there is such a big security defect, why don't the palace people repair it or don't use high walls to enclose it?
I swallowed, I didn't admit it, and I was even afraid to admit the possibility:
Maybe even the emperor can't do anything to block this mouth, so this mouth is extremely dangerous, so vicious that the world can't dare to take a step!
I was sweating profusely, and when I realized the possibility, I looked back and couldn't find my way back.
All traces of coming, without a trace.
There is no way to retreat, and there is no way to advance.
I almost wailed, looked up and asked the sky, which was covered by this row of dense forests, and vomited......
