Chapter Eighty-Eight: Entering the Holy Land Alone
Although Lan Jing'an didn't talk to Wan Ping about the child, he talked to her about his opinion of Yuwen Moyuan. This is the first time she has told others about her feelings for Yuwen Moyuan.
He had calculated her, and he had really helped her, and to say that he didn't have her in his heart, even if it was her, it would be hard to believe. It's just that he used the means she hated the most, deceived and coerced, and caused her to become his person for a short time. Weave a dream for her, and then make her even more painful when she wakes up. So she hated him more than anyone else in the world.
But Lan Jing'an's feelings for Yuwen Moyuan are not as simple as hatred. In addition to the deep hatred, the mixture of intense humiliation, fear and a hint of inexplicability made her really want to escape.
Intellectually speaking, she knew that she would inevitably see Yuwen Moyuan again one day, and if she couldn't stand in front of him as a victor, it would be a dead end.
But in the deepest part of her heart, she didn't want to see him again, as if as long as she didn't see him again, she could treat herself as if she had never met this person, and everything he brought her would dissipate with the wind.
Lan Jing'an spoke very calmly, but the two lines of tears flowed strangely. Wan Ping looked at Lan Jing'an, who didn't seem to care, how she didn't know the waves and pain in her heart.
She reached out and hugged her friend, hoping to give her a little warmth. The two closest friends, who talked all night, got the greatest comfort and encouragement from each other.
Before going to bed, Wan Ping gave Lan Jing'an a gift for her birthday, a pair of deerskin boots. This deer was hunted by Wan Ping herself, hoping that Lan Jing'an would have something warm by her side even on the coldest winter day. is like the family affection that Bai Qingfeng brought her, the friendship between himself and her, and the love between Xiao Qingyun and her.
Lan Jing'an was very moved, after she lost her country, relatives, and children, there are still so many heart-warming beauties waiting for her. She hugged Wan Ping well, and the two of them went back to the bedroom inseparably.
On the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, this is the day of Lan Jing'an's seventeenth birthday, and it is also the day when she will enter the sacred mountain to accept the test of being promoted to the rank of young master. She got up early in the morning, carefully dressed up, put on the auspicious clothes of Xiao Si Ming, and under the escort of Feng Yan and others, she went to the sacred mountain located in the northeast of Jiangling City.
Originally known as Luofeng Mountain, Mt. Kinabalu is located on the shore of Changhu Lake, less than ten miles north of Gangneung Castle. Legend has it that one day a colorful phoenix flew from the southwest and landed here, and was rescued by the ancestors of the priestess who passed through here, and later chose to recuperate here.
Since then, the surrounding people have had a bumper harvest every year. What's even more amazing is that this mountain continues to grow taller, birds on the mountain are constantly singing, and flowers and fruits are full of branches.
The colorful god phoenix healed her injuries, and before leaving, she passed on her magical ability to the ancestors of the Si Ming clan, and ordered her and her descendants to protect the people living on this land, and gave the country the name Qian. It means that the country has a good time, and it is prosperous and prosperous. This mountain where the colorful phoenix once lived has since been called Luofeng Mountain, and it is also revered as the sacred mountain.
Shenshan is a forbidden place in the Qianguo, and no one is allowed to enter unless they are the descendants of the Si Ming clan. If there are unruly people who break in, they will never want to come out without the guidance of the priestess.
When Dayong captured Jiangling, there were once soldiers who did not believe in evil and forcibly broke into the sacred mountain, but as a result, no one was alive or dead. Later, the Dayong people also believed in the legend of the sacred mountain, and no one dared to enter it for so many years.
The gate of the sacred mountain is majestic and magnificent, the mountain city is shaped like a city, the shape is like a city wall, and the north and south hanging gates are hung in the middle. The city gate is surrounded by high and low mountain peaks, there is a canyon under the northwest corner of the mountain city, the mountain stream is small, winding endlessly, the green pine cliffs on both sides, the forest waves are bursting, the mountains and rivers reflect each other, both pleasing to the eye and mysterious and difficult to find.
When Lan Jing'an led everyone to the main city gate in the south, Feng Yan and Jiang Xianlin took the lead in stopping, as Qianguo people, they wanted to strictly abide by the taboo of the sacred mountain, and hoped that no one from the Si Ming clan would not enter the mountain.
But Bi Luan, Bai Qingfeng and Wan Ping were not at ease to let Lan Jing'an enter the barren mountain alone that had not been trodden for many years, and insisted on accompanying her in. They and Feng Yan were at a stalemate, and in the end, Lan Jing'an took the idea.
Lan Jing'an believes that all the small priests have been brought into the sacred mountain by the great priests, so now no one knows what is in this sacred mountain and what the so-called test is. And since there has been an experience of the priestess taking outsiders into the sacred mountain before, it proves that the sacred mountain is not inaccessible to outsiders, but it may be that some places are the secrets of the Siming family and are not allowed to be touched by others.
On the one hand, she considered that if she was to be tested, she would need witnesses. On the other hand, considering that this mountain is so big and there are two gates, if you come out from other places and find everyone, it will take a lot of time. So she planned to take five people into the mountain together.
As for the other sergeants who escorted her, she asked them to send a part of them to wait outside the north gate of the sacred mountain, and once they came out of the sacred mountain, no matter which gate they were in, they would be able to meet the people of the Qianjun.
As soon as Lan Jing'an stepped into the mountain gate, the whole person felt different. She couldn't tell what was different, but there was an instinct that drove her forward. The other five people saw that although she had never been here, it seemed that there was a mysterious power guiding her path, and they all followed her honestly, allowing her to lead the way by instinct.
Lan Jing'an walked in the forest without saying a word, she felt as if she had been here in a dream, otherwise how could she be so familiar with the scene here? But she didn't remember having such a dream. She didn't know where it came from, but she felt that something in the dark was leading her to a very important place, a place she had to go.
When several people walked through the dense forest for nearly two hours, everyone's eyes suddenly lit up, they had reached the bottom of the canyon in the northwest corner, there was a narrow hole in the mountain stream at the bottom of the valley, and a huge stone was also erected on the side of the hole, and the stone was engraved with the ancient seal: the holy land of the goddess, and then it was ascending. Those who break into the thieves shall not die.
It seems that this is the most sacred place for the Siming clan. Feng Yan insisted that no one except Lan Jing'an be allowed to enter. In fact, Lan Jing'an was able to find here, which already explained her divine bloodline.
According to the ancient seal on the stone, as long as Lan Jing'an successfully enters and comes out, it should be equivalent to completing the test of changing from a small commander to a young commander. And if others break in by force, they will be cursed, and they will not die.
Lan Jing'an chose to listen to Feng Yan's words this time. She had already found this place by instinct, and since this was the sacred place of the ancestors, she didn't want to blaspheme the gods. She chose to enter alone, leaving the crowd to wait outside the cave.
The entrance to the cave is narrow and deep, and you can't see what you see in front of you. Lan Jing'an didn't light the torch and walked into it alone. But instead of feeling any fear or depression, she felt a sense of steadiness. There was only one road in the cave, and after a few turns, I got out of the hole.
Lan Jing'an's eyes suddenly brightened, and she arrived at a place that looked like a patio, and she was at the bottom of the well, and the cliff above was as high as a hundred feet. It was the first time Lan Jing'an saw such a strange scene, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl.
