528 Miling
We flew to Nanning first, restocked our equipment, and then changed to a car and ran for another day and a night, into the mountains, and then rode horses for several hours, and on the morning of the third day, we reached the bottom of the mountain where the secret tomb of the Three Gods was located.
Here is inaccessible, surrounded by a barren mountain, there are many poisonous insects and beasts, hiding the secret tomb here, and the outside world wants to find it more than the sky.
"It's really well hidden," I said with emotion.
Li Qingtan smiled slightly and looked at Ye Huan, "Can your body withstand it?" ”
"Well, I'm fine", Ye Huan smiled.
"A few miles to the south, there is a small village of more than a dozen families," Li Qingtan said, "They are all members of the Three Gods Sect, and they have been guarding the tomb here for generations." I got lost the last time I came, but luckily I met the medicine picker in the village, and I got out. ”
"They should all be disciples of the Southern Trigod Sect, right?" I asked, "Didn't I embarrass you?" ”
"I am Li Ningning's daughter, the holy daughter of the Northern Tritheistic Sect, how can they embarrass me?" Li Qingtan paused, "Let's rest here for a while, and then hurry up and enter the Secret Tomb." ”
"Okay", Ye Huan and I have no opinion.
She looked back at the young man, "Don't follow, go south, go to the village and wait." Tell those people that you were ordered by me to wait for the second lady. ”
"Yes, miss, be careful yourself, I'll go first," said the young man respectfully.
Li Qingtan nodded, "You should be careful, there are a lot of poisonous snakes on the road." ”
Until now, we don't know what this young man's name is, only that he is a member of the Northern Tritheistic Sect and one of Li Qingtan's right-hand men.
After the young man left, we found a place to tie up the horses and sat down to rest for a while. Although it is already late autumn and early winter, it is still very hot and humid here, fortunately supported by the power of the little white deer, otherwise my body is enough to adapt.
"Lin Zhuo, Ye Huan, let's study the plan of action", Li Qingtan opened the formation diagram, "I mean, after entering, quickly pass through the secret tomb and directly break into the Nine Shadows Array." According to the prophecy of the Jun'er County Lord, Queen Huyue may enter Cloud Shadow Heavenly City tonight or tomorrow morning, and our time is very tight. ”
I looked at Ye Huan, "What do you think?" ”
Ye Huan nodded, "Qingtan is right, no matter which angle you think about, the sooner you go, the better." Qingtan knows the situation in Milingli very well, and it is not a problem for her to lead the way; The body of the fourth child is in the Nine Shadows Great Array, and letting him lead the way when breaking through the formation can also save a lot of time; We don't know the situation in Cloud Shadow Sky City, but from the analysis of this name, this palace city should be modeled after the Cloud Shadow Sky in the sea of clouds. Cloud Shadow Sky is very huge, it is like a labyrinth, which is densely packed with formations, and it is almost impossible to move an inch. What I mean, after entering the palace, let Tang Qi lead the way, she is the body of the yang god, there is no obstruction to pass, with her to guide the way, we can quickly find the Taiming Palace. ”
"Ye Huan is right, I agree!" Li Qingtan looked at me, "What do you think?" ”
"Is Tang Qi up to the task?" I'm worried.
Ye Huan smiled faintly, "You, you are just too worried about her, but you restrained her." Tang Qi is not as weak as you think. ”
"I also brought Changyi", Li Qingtan said, "Let her cooperate with Tang Qi, there will be no problem." ”
"You don't have to shy away from her now?" I was stunned.
"Up to now, everything that can be on is available, what else is there to avoid", Li Qingtan paused and looked at Ye Huan, "By the way, what you just said is the sea of clouds...... What is it? ”
"The sea of clouds is located at the intersection of the Three Realms", Ye Huan said, "It is the territory of Shura Immortals and Spirit Immortals, they belong to the Heavenly Realm, but they are relatively independent and have great power. The little raider who was sealed came from the Yin-Yang Shura, and the Yin-Yang Shura was the princess of the Shura Immortal Clan. ”
"That's right", Li Qingtan nodded.
"If I'm not mistaken, according to the legend of the Heavenly Realm, Yin Yang Shura lost the battle when she led her troops to attack Cloud Shadow Heaven, and her hand was cut off at that time", Ye Huan continued, "In other words, for Xiao Xianyuan, Cloud Shadow Heaven is the shadow in her heart. When Emperor Wu of Jin built Cloud Shadow Heavenly City, he should have known this legend, so he used this palace city to lure her into the battle. ”
Li Qingtan breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, you are here, otherwise we would have broken in in a daze, and I don't know what the consequences would be......"
I looked at them both, "I have something to say ahead, and you must listen to me." ”
"What?" The two girls looked at me.
I took a deep breath, "Everything is up to you, but after breaking through the Nine Shadows Great Array, I will enter the Cloud Shadow Heavenly City by myself, and you are not allowed to follow." ”
Both of them were shocked, "Why?" ”
I smiled lightly, "No why, this is my mission, not the two of you, you will only take risks if you follow, I don't want to be distracted." ”
"This can't be", Ye Huan was very resolute, "I won't part with you!" ”
"If you two don't separate, you can't leave me alone", Li Qingtan looked at the two of us, "The minority obeys the majority, Lord Xiaolin, you just listen to us." ”
"That's right", Ye Huan looked at me, "The two of us have already discussed, before entering Cloud Shadow Heavenly City, no matter what kind of test we encounter, let's face it, you try not to use your internal qi, especially not to use the Peerless Divine Spell." ”
"When did you discuss it......" I was a little confused.
"Don't ask, just listen to us", the two girls looked at each other and smiled.
"Then my words were overruled?" I'll look at them.
The two girls nodded in unison.
I sighed helplessly, "That's okay, I'm also hypocritical, it's all come to this point, then live and die together, let's face it together!" ”
I don't want them to follow, I don't want any of them to sacrifice their lives for me. It's hard to say whether Li Qingtan will be now, but Ye Huan must be ready. This time was different from the past, I didn't have any fear or anxiety, and my heart was surprisingly calm. I thought to myself, this may be the last time I will do something, no matter what lies ahead, can it be more terrible than death? If there is still something I can't let go, it's just that I don't want to bother my beloved girl, and nothing else matters.
Li Qingtan stood up, untied all the horses, and looked at the two of us, "Okay, enough rest, let's go into the Secret Tomb." ”
The entrance to the tomb is a very secret cave, and this cave should have been very large, but because it was very old, most of it was filled with rubble and accumulated soil. This is not a natural hole, but it is artificially excavated, and after entering, the air is suddenly much drier, and the temperature is much lower than outside.
After entering the entrance of the cave, Li Qingtan pointed ahead, "Go inside along this passage, and you will arrive at Miling in about twenty minutes, there is no mechanism on this road, you just follow me." ”
We followed her closely and walked for more than twenty minutes with flashlights, and after a few rounds, the front suddenly opened up, and a huge karst cave appeared in front of us. There are many stone statues and steles in this cave, and there is a strong aura in them. Although it is already in the middle of the mountain, the air here is very good, so there should be a special vent to connect with the outside world.
"No wonder Qing Tong can hide here ......to cultivate," I said subconsciously, "The aura is so heavy, it's really a good place." ”
Li Qingtan glanced at me, "What did you call her?" ”
I was stunned, "Qingtong, what's wrong?" ”
She didn't speak, but looked at me quietly.
I suddenly realized that something was wrong, I used to call her Li Qingtong, and since that night...... Careless, careless. I quickly changed my words, "Uh...... Li Qingtong, she ......"
Li Qingtan smiled, laughing a little playfully, "You don't need to change your words, just do whatever you want." With that, she continued on her way.
Ye Huan looked at me, "What's wrong?" ”
I was a little embarrassed, "No...... It's okay, let's go. ”
After walking forward for a while, a stele forest appeared in front of her, Li Qingtan stopped, "This is the heart stone record, there is a secret room behind the stele forest, and the soul of the county lord of Jun'er is there", she knelt down and respectfully kowtowed three times in the direction of the secret room.
Ye Huan and I also knelt down.
"Grandma, please protect our ......", Li Qingtan folded his hands and prayed softly.
After praying, she stood up and looked at the two of us, "You guys also get up, there are many tritheistic sect formations going inside, Lin Zhuo can't move his internal qi now, you follow me, Ye Huan is behind, and the two of us will escort you through." If it goes well, in about half an hour, we will be able to see Cloud Shadow Sky City. ”
I stood up and looked at Ye Huan, and she nodded at me.
"Well, thank you guys," I said.
The road behind was a little slow, but there was little danger, and sure enough, as she said, about half an hour later, there was a bright light in front of the passage.
"We're not going to get out of the mountain, are we?" I asked.
"I don't know, I didn't go so far last time", Li Qingtan said, "Ye Huan, you have to be careful in the back, if you find any situation, call me in time." ”
"I understand!" Ye Huan said.
The light was getting closer and closer, and it was gradually clear that it was not daylight, but a pale yellow light, and it seemed that there should be some treasure.
When we got closer, it turned out to be a bigger cave, and when we looked into the hole, we were all shocked to see that it was a pile of jewels!
Most of the jewelry has no light, but this pile is different, there is a lot of jade in it, yellow jade, and the light we see is emitted by this jade.
"What kind of stone is that?" I couldn't help but ask Li Qingtan.
She took a closer look, "It was the Heavenly Light Broken Jade, a sacred object used in the sacrifices of the ancient Tritheistic Sect. Let's not touch them, go around, I guess the Nine Shadows Great Array is almost here. ”
"Something is wrong", Ye Huan looked around vigilantly, "Why is there no yin qi at all?" That's unlikely. ”
Li Qingtan thought for a while and looked at me, "What do you think?" ”
I stared at the Tianguang broken jade in the pile of jewels for a while, "This jade is quite evil, very murderous, we have to leave quickly!" ”
Ye Huan shone a flashlight, "Where do you think we should go?" ”
I followed the light of the flashlight and couldn't help but be stunned, there were more than a dozen almost identical holes behind the pile of jewels, and each hole faintly revealed a thick yin qi.
I frowned, "Trouble...... Can I use a hexagram to calculate? ”
Before they could speak, a dark shadow appeared in front of the hole on the far left, "Master, don't calculate, I'll show you the way!" ”
