Chapter 390: The Sun and the Moon Are the Same Day

We continued to move forward according to the map left by the big ghost master, Ye Jiuqing stepped on the ground a few times, squatted down and brushed away the grass, revealing pieces of blocked stone slabs, and with the help of the firelight, we could clearly see the rough and primitive lines on it.

These stone slabs were once used to pave the road, so it is not far from Lingshan, and it was not long before we saw a canyon with a towering peak on the left and right.

"In the great wilderness, there is a mountain named Fengfu Yumen, my grandfather in the study of the Book of Mountains and Seas, has left a note, he thinks that Fengfu and Yumen are two passes, it is difficult to do it, the Fengfu Yumen recorded in the Book of Mountains and Seas is here." Xue Xinrou was excited.

"About Lingshan, I have never thought clearly, since Lingshan exists, what does the sentence "the sun and moon enter" mean, literally, it clearly means that the sun and the moon appear in the sky at the same time." I looked up at the canyon and said as I walked. "But here you can only see the moon, and there is no vision of the sun and the moon in the sky."

"That may not be ......" The palace lord at the front suddenly walked and looked up at the front, his voice revealing incomparable surprise.

We walked up to him and looked through the entrance of the canyon, and suddenly everyone stood there like statues, everyone with the same expression, their faces full of shock written on their faces.

On the opposite side of the canyon is a rolling snow-capped mountain, and in front of it is a towering peak, at the top of the mountain, there is a hole that has been dissolved, the depth of the hole is about 100 meters, the width of the hole is about 40 or 50 meters, when we look at the peak of the mountain a hundred miles away, it is like a rising sun.

And at this moment, we just happen to see the full moon hanging in the sky through the sun impartially.

The sun and the moon enter the ......

This is the true meaning of this sentence in the Book of Mountains and Seas, we can clearly see from the angle from which we stand, the sun and the moon appear in the sky at the same time.

Thump!

There was a sound of kneeling behind him, and when he looked back, he saw all the Wu people kneeling on the ground with tears streaming down their faces, they had never been to Lingshan, and they could only hear some descriptions of their homeland from the mouths of the ancestors.

Perhaps each of them has a different outline of their homeland in their hearts, but the only thing that remains unchanged is that their ancestors will tell them that their homeland is in a place where the sun and the moon are in the same sky.

The Wu clan may only be shocked in our hearts when they see the scene on the other side, but in their hearts, it represents homecoming, this way home, they have walked for thousands of years, and now they see the sign engraved in their memories and blood, this thousand years of waiting finally made them cry with joy.

The moonlight covered the canyon with a layer of silver veil, Ye Jiuqing squinted his eyes and took a step forward, raising his hand to point to the bottom of the canyon: "Look there!" ”

The glow of the moonlight drew an outline under the canyon, and we could vaguely tell from the undulating lines that it was an ancient city, that is, Lingshan, an ancient city rumored to be built with gold!

We and the Wu clan behind us now have a completely different mood, they are full of joy to return to their homeland, and for us, finding Lingshan is just the beginning, this ancient city that has been silent for thousands of years, what secrets need to be uncovered.

Looking at the road not far away, we walked for most of the day, and when the warm sun illuminated this mysterious land, we were amazed by the scenery here, with waterfalls in the canyons, lakes and trees, lined with blue sky and white clouds, and the layers were distinct.

At the foot is full of flowers, green grass, the opposite side of the rolling snow-capped mountains, the peaks are covered with snow and white clouds, the clouds are steaming, the fog is rising, for a time the clouds and snow are inseparable, looking around is beautiful.

But all this is not as clear as the ancient city that gradually clears our eyes, and we yearn for it, and we go to the ancient city hidden in the woods, and their plants cover every corner of the ancient city, which is probably the best-preserved ancient city I have ever seen, and it is still standing here after thousands of years.

Ye Jiuqing stood under the city wall, clearly removing the weeds and vines spreading on it with his bare hands, and when he finally wiped off the thick layer of dust covering it, in the sunlight, a dazzling golden light was reflected in our eyes.

Ye Jiuqing slowly took a step back, this is an ancient city that needs to be looked up, and all the buildings, including the bricks and stones used to build the city wall, are all gold!

Even a rat like Ye Jiuqing, who is used to seeing it, has seen countless rare treasures in his life, but now his mouth is wide open, and the four words Lingshan Jincheng are abstract enough in his mind, and it is difficult to imagine what kind of ruin it should be.

It wasn't until I stood in front of this city and really witnessed it that I realized that the shock of this golden city was beyond words.

But after entering the Lingshan Golden City, this short-lived joy was instantly replaced by a haze, and what surprised us even more was not the gold that filled the city, but the tens of thousands of corpses that could be seen everywhere in the city.

We stared in amazement at the bones lying on the ground in front of us, as if a massacre had taken place, and the city was littered with skeletons in various poses.

"Why, how can this be?" Tian Ji panicked and muttered to himself.

"No, if these people were slaughtered, there should be blood on the ground." Xue Xinrou squatted on the ground and looked at it seriously for a long time and said. "But there is no blood here, and there is no sign of a fight."

The palace lord examined several corpses, and said at a loss: "It shouldn't be a massacre, these people don't have any wounds on their bodies." ”

Ye Jiuqing estimated from the extent of the decomposing bones and broken clothes that these people would not have been dead for more than fifty years, which meant that the Wu clan in the Lingshan Golden City was still isolated and living here at least fifty years ago.

Judging from the number of these corpses, almost the entire Lingshan Wu Clan, looking at the strange scene in front of them, what was the reason for the sudden death of an entire group in the ancient city.

We walked into the city's houses and were littered with bones of various shapes, some of them dead at the table, which also contained pottery bowls containing rotting food residues.

The more we walked into the ancient city, the more corpses we saw, and gradually we all realized a startling fact, the death of the extermination that happened fifty years ago should have happened on the same day, and it happened without warning.

For we can infer from the posture and position of these corpses that in the moment before death came, the people who lived here lived the same day after day, some were eating, some were walking in the ancient city, and they did not seem to notice anything unusual.

But in an instant, the entire group died in the ancient city as if they were violently killed, so by the time we found Lingshan Golden City, it had become a ghost town full of corpses.

"Something must have happened." Xue Xinrou said while taking pictures.

"But this corroborates what the Ma Gang told Professor Xue, the person who came out of Lingshan was found the next day, and only a pile of dry bones remained, and it seems that the time of this person's death happened to be the time when Lingshan had a mutation." Gong Jue said.

"Almost, Uncle Ye deduced that this death of the whole clan happened fifty years ago, and judging from Ji Lao's memories, the time coincides." Tian Ji nodded.

"In fact, it is not difficult to understand, Ji Lin did not record it on the silk cloth, in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the same thing happened in the Qi State, although the people who have been at sea for many years returned unharmed and their appearance did not change, but as soon as they came ashore, everyone grew old quickly, and fifty years passed in an instant on these people." I thought about it, looked at the corpses around me, and said.

"Those craftsmen who go to sea should be influenced by the Nine Dragons Boat of the Moon Palace, so their life will be extended." Gong Jue began to rub his forehead again, and after leaving the labyrinth, his head began to ache again. "That person said that the people of Lingshan have a long lifespan, and it must also be related to the Nine Dragons Boat of the Moon Palace."

"Then it's not the right time, huh?" The field chicken is at a loss.

"Where's the point?" Ye Jiuqing asked.

"Those strange craftsmen are because they left the range of the Moon Palace Nine Dragon Boat, so their lifespan is lost, which means that if you want to live forever, you must be with the Moon Palace Nine Dragon Boat."

Tian Ji said to us in a serious way, from the Kyushu dragon vein map found in the Vientiane Shrine, it is inferred that there is a dragon vein that extends to the southwest, and Lingshan Jincheng is likely to be the land of dragon qi, so the Nine Dragons Boat of the Moon Palace will be anchored here.

But the time of berthing, as well as the time when the Wu people told about seeing the gods descend, were all around the time of the Western Jin Dynasty, but the problem was that the Nine Dragons of the Moon Palace had already left here.

"Wang Gongchang's ambush!" I also reacted, and said with a frown. "The Moon Palace Nine Dragons Boat wants to go from this place to another place in Liaodong where the dragon qi is, and it is bound to pass through Wang Gongchang, and this law is cracked by the eyes of the earth, so it will be ambushed in Wang Gongchang, which shows that the Moon Palace Nine Dragons Boat has left Lingshan Jincheng at the end of the Ming Dynasty."

"According to our previous inference, once the Moon Palace Nine Dragons Ship leaves, people who have a lifespan beyond ordinary people will die due to rapid aging." Gong Jue was also at a loss. "It stands to reason that if the Wu clan in Lingshan Jincheng wants to die, it should also happen at the end of the Ming Dynasty."

"But the people here lived to be fifty years ago, and according to the people who came out of Lingshan, the Wu clan here has always had a long lifespan." Xue Xinrou was puzzled. "That means that they can still have such abilities after they break away from the Nine Dragons Boat of the Moon Palace, but why did these people suddenly die at the same time fifty years ago?"

There must have been something that we don't know about in Lingshan Golden City, and until now, we haven't come into contact with the traces left here by the Nine Dragons Boat of the Moon Palace, and according to the rumors of the Wu Clan, they once built a palace for the snake god.

According to the rules of the ruins we found before, this palace should be the dock where the Nine Dragons Boat of the Moon Palace is moored, and I asked Xue Xinrou to ask the old lady of the Wu clan to see if she can know a little about the whereabouts of this palace.

When we turned our heads, we found that all the witch people who had been following us had disappeared, and in their eyes we were divine envoys, and they would never leave us without permission.

"Shh The Lord motioned for us not to speak. "They're not far from here, and I hear them chanting just like they did the last time they caught us."

"Those lyrics are the ancient sacrificial language of the Wu people." Xue Xinrou was taken aback and said. "It's a ritual to sacrifice to their gods, isn't it...... The god of the Wu clan is still in Lingshan Golden City?! ”
