"Lan Jinxi Xiangling, Hu Qin Zhidong?" Nangong Jingchen read it softly, and then said, "Lan'er, can you write this sentence down?" ”

Picking up a branch, Baili Lan wrote these words on the wet soil, and Nangong Jingchen carefully analyzed these words by the moonlight. After a quarter of an hour, Nangong Jingchen hooked his lower lips and said elegantly, "I think I've already guessed the answer." Lan'er, look at it, if we only read these four words, what would this sentence be? ”

Baili Lan read out according to the four words drawn by Nangong Jingchen, "Lan, Ling, Hu, Dong." Baili Lan blinked, then looked up at Nangong Jingchen and repeated, "Lanling Lake East!" ”

"That's right, it's Lanling Lake East!"

Looking up at the Big Dipper in the sky, Baili Lan pointed in the direction ahead and said, "That's the east, let's go there and have a look!" ”

The two of them searched along the road, but there were branches and blades of grass everywhere, and there was nothing special. Supporting the branches with his arms, Nangong Jingchen looked around and said, "Lan'er, even if it is east, the range that needs to be checked is still very large, and it is still very difficult for the two of us to find it." Otherwise, we will go back to the Lanling soldiers to search, inch by inch, and we will definitely find out. ”

"No," Bai Lilan rejected the proposal without thinking, and said, "This is the news that my father told me, it belongs to the top secret of the family, and I don't want outsiders to know." If you find it troublesome, you can go back first and I'll find it myself. After speaking, Baili Lan no longer paid attention to Nangong Jingchen.

Picking up a relatively thick branch, Baili Lan made a torch and searched all over the woods.

Looking at Baili Lan's stubborn figure, Nangong Jingchen shook his head helplessly, and could only follow behind her and look for it with her.

The night was getting deeper and deeper, Bai Lilan's forehead slid down with sweat, her condensed gaze gradually became irritable, and there was an inexplicable urge to hit someone in her heart.

"Lan'er, let's take a break!" Nangong Jingchen noticed Baili Lan's strange appearance, so he grabbed her hand and said softly.

Bai Lilan also knew that after all kinds of changes for most of the day, she really needed to take a break now, calm down by the way, and sort out the things she had just encountered.

Sitting on the stones, Baili Lan looked at the large and small rocks in front of her, and for some reason, she suddenly remembered the story that her father liked to tell her the most when she was a child, Li Qing shook the rock. At that time, the father told the little Baili Lan that when she grew up, she should be like Li Qing and not be intimidated by the difficulties in life, and the father also said that if she was a boy, her father would add a "stone" to her name. Rock, Rock......

Standing up suddenly, Baili Lan looked around, and then suddenly rushed forward.

"Lan'er, where are you going?" Nangong Jingchen was afraid that Baili Lan would be in danger, so he didn't dare to follow her down until Bai Lilan stopped in front of a huge rock and panted roughly.

Reaching out and taking out all the jade pendants from his arms, Bai Lilan even closed his eyes and was able to put these jade pendants on the rock, in the shape of the matching position.

When the finger leaves the last rock, a "boom" is heard, and the rock opens in response, revealing an underground corridor.

"This ......" Nangong Jingchen looked inside and asked a little at a loss, "Lan'er, do you want to go in alone?" ”

Looking at Nangong Jingchen sideways, Baili Lan said unhappily: "What, you want to be lazy?" ”

"No, I didn't mean that, it's just that you just said that outsiders are not allowed in, and I don't know...... Oh, now I know. Scratching the back of his head, Nangong Jingchen said with some embarrassment, "Lan'er, then let's go in now." ”

Seeing that Nangong Jingchen was so satisfied because of a trivial matter, Baili Lan was a little helpless, thinking to herself that she was very harsh on him in the past?

Through the torches, Baili Lan could see all kinds of strange totems painted on the walls on both sides of the secret room, from primitive tribal life, to the use of iron tools, to the mutual attack between tribes, and finally the emergence of civilization and commercial transactions, just like in Bac Ninh today.

These pictures, in Baililan's view, are like looking at a history of civilization evolution, similar to what is in a modern museum. But these totems brought Nangong Jingchen shock and disbelief.

His gaze was fixed on the last image, Nangong Jingchen pointed to the thing on it and muttered, "Oh my God, this is a prophecy!" ”

Looking at Nangong Jingchen's excited appearance, Baili Lan couldn't help but look over and found that it was a picture of a monarch dominating the world. Although the painting is simple, judging from the colors painted, it is already old.

Meimu stared at the words under the picture, Baili Lan said: "This is the Chenlan Dynasty, not Beining, why are you so excited?" ”

Turning around and looking at Baili Lan, Nangong Jingchen's eyes were indescribably excited, and he said: "Because, the new country name I agreed with the ministers is Chen Lan!" Take one word from each of your and my names! ”

At this moment, even Baili Lan was a little stunned, is there really an unpredictable prophet in this world?

"This is supposed to be the afterlife that a prophet had speculated on, but why did it come here and be broken?" Nangong Jingchen stretched out his hand and rubbed on the totem, his face full of incomprehension and uneasiness.

"Let's keep going and see, maybe there will be new discoveries." Bai Lilan still didn't believe this, so she dragged Nangong Jingchen and continued to walk forward. But as she continued to go deeper, Bai Lilan found that the white bones of people began to appear around her, three by two, two by two, although there were not many, but it was still very scary.

Frowning at these bones, Nangong Jingchen said, "Could these people be tomb robbers?" ”

"No, you see that the bones on their bodies are intact, there are no signs of a fight at all, and the color of the bones is grayish-yellow, which is obviously a natural death. If they were tomb robbers, the only reason they would have died here was that the spoils were unevenly distributed, and the bones would not have been preserved so intact. ”

"And how do you think they should have died?"

Stopping next to a corpse, Baili Lan took a closer look at it and said, "From the color of their bones, it can be seen that they didn't die here at the same time, so I guess they are the painters here." ”

Nangong Jingchen raised his eyebrows and said, "You mean, those totems were painted by them just now?" ”

"Quite possibly."

The doubts in his heart became deeper and deeper, and Nangong Jingchen decided to go to the deepest part of this secret room to take a look.

Before they reached the innermost, the two of them found that there was enough shadow and light in front of them, which couldn't help but make the two secretly take precautions, not knowing what they would face in a while. But when they cautiously walked inside, they found that the light they had just noticed was actually emitted by countless rare treasures, among which, especially the dozens of night pearls were the brightest, making this place shine.

Grabbing a bead chain casually, Bai Lilan smiled: "As long as you have them, you can build another country without much effort, and you don't need to work as hard as you do now." ”

Hearing this, Nangong Jingchen took the jewelry in his hand and said: "Indeed, having money can make a country's internal affairs more stable, and it can also benefit the people, which can be said to be a lot of benefits." ”

As a quasi-emperor, seeing so much wealth, he shouldn't show such a stunned expression, Bai Lilan couldn't help but feel curious, and asked: "So much wealth can't be exchanged for a smile for you, is it because you are too greedy, or is your mind not here?" ”

Nangong Jingchen shook his head and said, "Lan'er thought about it a lot, I'm just curious why the predicted picture was broken when it came to me. ”

"It turns out that it's because of this," said Baililan, "I said why are you still struggling with this matter, maybe there will be painters before the arrival of each dynasty and draw the prophecy on the wall, or maybe the destruction of the earth is also possible, what are you worried about so early." ”

"Lan'er, you're saying something I don't understand again." Nangong Jingchen said helplessly, "But you're right, it's too early to worry about these things, I shouldn't be mediocre." ”

patted Nangong Jingchen on the shoulder, and Baili Lan gave him a wordless comfort. The moment she raised her eyes, Bai Lilan found that among the many jewels, there was one place where the luster was different, revealing a strange feeling, which made people cringe. After realizing this thought in her heart, Bai Lilan couldn't help but laugh at herself in her heart. I haven't experienced any storms and waves, how can I still be shocked by the light of the Dao?

Smiling self-deprecatingly, Baili Lan walked in the direction of the glow. When she stood next to the light source and stretched out her hand to touch it, Nangong Jingchen's voice suddenly came from behind her.

"Lan'er, who the hell are you?"

The action froze, Bai Lilan turned around and looked at Nangong Jingchen, the corners of her lips hooked, and said, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Nangong Jingchen's eyes had an indescribable loneliness, he slowly approached Baili Lan, and said: "The closer I get to you, the more difficult it is for me to understand you, you are always so elusive." What is the county lord of Dingnan Palace, this is definitely not your identity, where will there be a lady who knows so many things to survive? Your intelligence makes men sigh to themselves in front of you. And you often say things that are hard to understand, so I guess you're not from here, are you? ”

Her eyes were fixed on Nangong Jingchen, Bai Lilan opened her lips, but she couldn't even make a sound. If he told Nangong Jingchen the truth, would he believe himself? Or do you think you're crazy and even get a wizard to exorcise ghosts? Nangong Jingchen, what will you do?

Nangong Jingchen could also see the struggle in Baili Lan's eyes, so he didn't urge her to answer himself, but just encouraged Bai Lilan with his eyes, hoping that she could open her heart to himself, he didn't want to spend his whole life in boundless speculation, he wanted to know everything about Bai Lilan, including the unspeakable secrets in her heart.

Staggering her gaze, Bai Lilan clenched her fists and took a deep breath.

She thought that since she wanted to stay here, it was very likely that she would continue to be entangled with this man, and there should be no suspicion between them.

And it is difficult to explain her maverick with other excuses, the simplest and most direct way is to tell the truth, and she doesn't think it's a mistake, it's just a coincidence that is hard to believe, if Nangong Jingchen can't accept it, then she should be blind before Baili Lan and see the wrong person!

Finally, Baili Lan mustered up the courage and decided to tell the truth to Nangong Jingchen, she likes to be frank and open, and she doesn't want to cover it up like this anymore, so she took two steps forward and said, "I actually ......"

"Lan'er be careful!"
