Chapter 293: The King's Tomb
South of the South Ridge.
The road ahead is cut off, and the mountains stretch across the road like huge walls.
The mountain range is simply a natural Great Wall, stretching for thousands of miles, which directly made Fan Li dispel the idea of taking a detour.
With flying?
It doesn't seem to work either.
Rolling mountains, the mountainside is shrouded in mist, and there is a faint sound of thunder.
It is said that black clouds overwhelm the city and want to destroy it.
In front of me is a thundercloud pressing down on the mountain, and there is not even a single bird in the sky.
Fan Li didn't dare to imagine that if his group tried to fly over the mountain range, would they be thundered by the sky?
Bai Nineteen's face showed joy.
"Here we are, this is the South Nest!"
Fan Li suspected that he was hallucinating.
This is the South Nest?
I saw that Bai Nineteen took out a drawing, and it turned out to be a map of Nanchao.
The map is very rough drawn, and the depiction of the terrain and environment of Nanchao is even more dizzying.
He said incredulously, "This was once the land of the ancients? I think it's the Ancient Cage, it's pretty much the same! ”
The topography of the South Nest is actually a vast basin.
The basin, on the other hand, is surrounded by a huge ring of mountains.
From a rough map, the South Nest looks more like a volcanic crater or the site of a large dry lake.
At this moment, Fan Li felt that the towering mountains were clearly the outer walls of the prison.
The dense thunderclouds that cover the entire South Nest are the 'roof' of the prison!
Fan Li thought of a brilliant word to describe Nanchao:
Prison!
"White Holy Lord, how much information about Nanchao do you still have that you haven't shared with me?"
"Even if it's to increase the probability of completing the mission, why don't you tell me?"
Hearing Fan Li say this, a hint of mockery flashed in Bai Shijiu's eyes.
"Duke Jin is too worried, this trip has your help, it's too late to be grateful, how can you hide the deception? Aside from this crude map, there really isn't any information about the South Nest in this seat. ”
After Bai Nineteen finished speaking, he looked at Fan Li with sincerity.
However, the micro-expression in her eyes just now had already been captured by Fan Li.
Lie?
In front of Fan Li, the first traitor of the great Chu, the acting skills of the Holy Lord of Chess are not qualified enough.
Unless there is a Holy Lord of Deception in the Pure Land, a Holy Lord of Drama or something, he may be able to fight with Fan Li.
But that's enough.
Fan Li's original purpose was to determine whether Bai Nineteen still had something to hide.
When you get the answer you want, you can take precautions early.
Bai Shijiu thought that he had concealed Fan Li, and reminded him 'kindly': "Why don't you ask this Mr. Huang?" Since he is a Confucian cultivator in Lucheng, he must be knowledgeable and full of wealth, maybe he knows something? ”
Without waiting for Fan Li to ask, Huang Longshi shook his head again and again.
"Ashamed, ashamed."
"If you don't learn well, you don't know that there are such secrets in the world."
"Even the name of 'Nanchao', Xiaosheng is the first time I have heard of it......"
Bai Nineteen almost laughed out loud!
That's it?
This is Fan Li's last move?
Huang Longshi is the same on the outside and on the inside, he is just an ordinary Confucian cultivator in the Yuan Infant Realm.
Fan Li actually expected Huang Longshi to help him?
"The chess game of the Ancient Emperor of Nanchao will definitely help me break the demons in my heart."
"When the time comes, Fan Li and this surnamed Huang, this seat will kill them on the spot with his own hands!"
Bai Nineteen thought so, and looked forward to Nanchao more and more.
With the help of a rough map, the three of them found the only entrance to the South Nest.
A gap between the great walls of the mountains, an mouth of a valley.
The three of them grasped it from the outside to the valley, but they couldn't see anything clearly.
In the south nest, it seems to be filled with white mist?
"White Holy Lord, the sea of fog obscures your vision, and I am afraid that it will be dangerous." Fan left the mouth and said, "Do you want to wait for the fog to clear before we enter?" ”
Coward!
For Fan Li's caution, Bai Nineteen only had contempt and contempt.
In fact, this is the second time she has arrived at the South Nest.
The last time she briefly entered the valley basin, she had also crossed the sea of fog, knowing that there was no danger in it.
Bai Nineteen was very willing, and it was here that Fan Li.
It's a pity that the demons in her heart have not been broken, not only can she not hurt Fan Li, but she also has to protect him to live well.
"Don't worry, I'll open the way in front of me myself."
"Please Jin Gong and Mr. Huang follow me, but they will be safe."
Bai Shijiu said, not giving Fan Li a chance to refuse, he turned over and got out of the carriage and strode into the sea of fog.
Fan Li and Huang Longshi glanced at each other, and sure enough, they followed.
Entering the valley, you are immediately overwhelmed by a sea of fog.
With Fan Li's cultivation in the Jindan Realm, although he could not reach out and lose sight of his five fingers, his vision was only limited to a radius of ten meters.
The scene in front of me is indeed the bottom of an ordinary mountain stream.
Beneath your feet, there is green grass and dirt.
Around, there are leaves and petals falling from the trees, ripe to rotten fruits.
Occasionally, one or two animal bones were found, all of which were ordinary mountain beasts.
Fan Li estimated that they had strayed into the valley, and because they could not identify their direction in the sea of fog, they were trapped and starved to death.
The three of them traveled in the sea of fog for about an hour.
Fan Li found that during this period, Bai Shijiu did not stop for a moment, and always moved firmly in a certain direction.
Hehe.
Isn't that exposed?
Familiar with the way, how many times have you been here?
"Ahh We're out of the fog! ”
Bai Nineteen suddenly opened his mouth in surprise.
But both the voice and the expression are obviously a little contrived.
At this moment, the eyes of the three of them suddenly opened up, and they clearly saw a vast valley plain.
There are quite a few stones on the plain, and there are obvious traces of artificial carving.
If you look closely, it is clear that it is the wreckage of the building.
This is the so-called ruins of the ancient country?
Fan Li turned his head and finally saw part of the surface of the sea of fog.
It turned out that the sea of fog was actually a natural protective layer, which was only attached to a large area at the mouth of the valley.
"This must be the South Nest!" White Nineteen Dao.
Fan Li squatted down and looked at the messy grass.
"What did Jin Gong find?" Although Bai Nineteen was asking, his eyes were contemptuous.
The last time she was here, she had already carefully explored the radius of ten miles.
It was definitely not the heart of the South Nest, and she barely noticed it.
"It used to be farmland." Fan Li stood up and slapped the dirt off his hands.
"How does Jin Gong know?"
Bai Nineteen didn't believe it.
Nanchao Ancient Kingdom, thousands of years ago, tens of thousands of years?
Where did Fan Li get his confidence, as soon as he entered the valley, he dared to say that there was farmland under his feet.
"These ......"
Fan Li pointed to the weeds at his feet.
"There's grain in it."
Bai Jiu's eyes widened, and he looked at Fan Li in disbelief, and then at Huang Longshi.
Huang Longshi was also curious, and squatted down to observe the weeds carefully.
"Jin Gong is right!"
"Corn, millet...... And wheat, which must have been farmland! ”
Nanchao has been depopulated for an unknown number of years.
The seeds that were once planted in the soil gradually coexist with the weeds because no one takes care of them.
From generation to generation, winter goes to spring, withering and flourishing, and without the careful care of farmers, the growth of corn, millet and wheat is very poor.
"What about the farmland, this kind of intelligence is worthless." Bai Nineteen said coldly.
Worthless?
Fan Li had some guesses, but he didn't say that he knew with Bai Nineteen.
Nanchao, the geographical location is remote and isolated, and the top of the head is suppressed by thunderclouds all year round.
How can there be a son of heaven, princes and kings, willing to stay in such a broken place?
Fan Li became more and more sure that Nanchao was not a dynasty or a vassal state, but just a huge prison.
He was also very curious.
Who is being held here?
What sin did he commit?
And who set up this prison?
"When a farmer cultivates, he must provide for those who are in high power."
"Ordinary peasants are not worthy of this prison."
"The Superior ...... Prisoner ......"
It's so bizarre.
Ancient things, myths, legends, facts, who can tell the difference?
Before the crossing, Fan Li had suspected that many of the monsters described in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" might be some kind of creature that had become extinct. It's just that the ancients' descriptions of them were so bizarre that they led to the mythologization of ancient creatures.
"Jin Gong, it's time for us to go." Bai Shijiu said coldly: "This time is definitely not the center of the South Nest, we are looking for the Ancient Emperor's Mausoleum." ”
Fan Li nodded.
This time, Bai Nineteen was right.
Finding the farmland of Nanchao Ancient Country just proves that the three of them have not yet reached their destination.
"Where does the Holy Lord think we should go next?" Fan Lixiao asked.
Bai Nineteen thought that Fan Li was testing himself.
Her face was pale, and it was obvious that she had been prepared.
"If we want to find the ancient emperor's mausoleum, we naturally have to follow the site selection method of the ancient emperor's mausoleum to determine the location."
"Throughout the ages, the location of the emperor's mausoleum has been the law of the soil meeting, the law of the soil suitability, and the law of the soil gui."
"The emperor's mausoleum is mostly in the back of the mountains and rivers, and it is not easy to flood."
"I also heard that in ancient times, the emperor's tomb was respected by the West."
"According to this standard, if we go to the west to find a place with mountains and rivers behind us and not easy to flood, it should be the emperor's tomb."
Bai Nineteen said triumphantly, satisfied that he would receive the praise of the two men.
Unexpectedly, what was waiting was silence.
She exasperated, "What? Isn't this seat right? ”
Fan Li smiled and said nothing.
It was Huang Longshi, who cautiously opened his mouth to remind.
"White Holy Lord, what you said about the law of Tuhui, the law of Tuyi, and the law of Tugui are all from the "Zhou Li". If the Ancient Emperor of Nanchao was earlier than Zhou, I am afraid it would be useless. ”
When Bai Nineteen heard this, he was immediately speechless.
Huang Longshi's words were not finished.
"As for the West as the supreme respect, that is the pre-Qin custom."
"The emperor's tomb chose a place with mountains and rivers behind it and not easy to flood, and it also started from Qin."
"Nanchao Ancient Emperor...... Why is it earlier than the Qin Dynasty? ”
In the end, Huang Longshi's voice weakened.
The Qin Dynasty was a county system, and did not divide the princes, so Huang Longshi had this saying.
Bai Nineteen's cheeks were flushed, and it might be more appropriate to change the name to Red Nineteen now.
She's so angry!
If she had been refuted by a mere Yuanying Realm monk in normal times, she would have slapped Huang Longshi to death a long time ago!
But Bai Nineteen's heart had just started with the murderous intent, but there was no burst of aura disorder and realm shaking, as if he was about to go mad!
"Oh my God! Am I wasted? ”
"Even if Fan Li is next to me, but I kill irrelevant people, I will actually touch the demons?!"
Bai Nineteen was deeply afraid of the horror of the demon in his heart, and hurriedly suppressed the killing intent in his heart.
She gritted her teeth and said hatefully: "Thank you Mr. Huang for reminding me, but this seat is lonely and unheard." ”
"How dare you? It's a little abrupt. ”
Huang Longshi was also nervous.
How could he be so quick that he dared to point out the mistakes of the Holy Lord of the Mahayana realm?
But...... He peeked at Bai Nineteen, only to feel that although this woman was beautiful on the outside, she was very mediocre on the inside.
To be honest, Huang Longshi was far more afraid of Bai Nineteen's identity as the Holy Lord than of herself.
"I'm wrong."
"Just ask the two of you to speculate on the location of the emperor's mausoleum, and this seat will not be ugly!"
Bai Shijiu was very annoyed, and directly became the shopkeeper.
She wanted to see how Fan Li and Huang Longshi found out where the emperor's tomb was?
The Nanchao Basin is vast and vast, although it is not as large as the Central Plains countries, but at least it is larger than a prefecture and a state.
If you look aimlessly, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack.
"Okay."
Fan Li agreed very happily.
He said directly to Huang Longshi beside him: "Please sir look for it, the most fierce, the most yin, and the most desperate place, I think it should be where the emperor's tomb is located." ”
"What did you say!?"
Before Huang Longshi could start working, Bai Nineteen had already screamed.
The fiercest?
The most yin?
The best?
Is this still an imperial tomb?
If anyone is buried here, I am afraid that future generations will be plagued by disasters, and even the family will be wiped out, and children and grandchildren may be cut off!
Huang Longshi also wondered: "Duke Jin wants to find a place of great evil? It's not that hard, but are you sure? ”
With Huang Longshi's bachelor, he is not very good at feng shui.
But Lu Cheng is erudite and knows the essence of a hundred schools, and Huanglongshi's feng shui is also an entry.
"Sure." Fan Li smiled: "You just have to find it." ”
In fact, Fan Li himself is an erudite Confucian, proficient in hundreds of miscellaneous studies.
The trivial matter of finding a fierce place does not need to borrow the hands of Huang Longshi at all.
But if he didn't arrange some work for Huang Longshi and let him stay idle, Fan Li was worried that it would arouse Bai Nineteen's suspicions.
"Fan Li!"
Bai Nineteen was furious and called him by his name.
"Are you deliberately causing trouble? What we are looking for is the Emperor's Tomb, what are you doing in the place where you are looking for the murderer? I don't have the heart to waste time with you! ”
"The Holy Lord is angry."
Fan Li smiled slightly.
He stretched out his hand to the sky, and then to the towering mountains in the distance.
"Hasn't the Holy Lord seen it yet?"
"Where is Nanchao, what kind of vassal state?"
"It's clearly a huge prison here."
"My father believes that if there is really an ancient country here, it will definitely not come here voluntarily, and I am afraid that he was forced to migrate to Nanchao."
Bai Nineteen was dumbfounded, and Huang Longshi realized.
Truly.
From the inside of the Nanchao Basin, the feeling of a cage becomes more and more intense.
Especially when the sky is cloudy, is there a thunderous sound, it seems that the heavens are venting the anger that has not gone away for thousands of years!
Bai Shijiu already believed in his heart that Fan Li was right.
Her face turned pale and she struggled to speak.
"Even if Nanchao is really a prison, the ancient emperor is also dignified, how can he be buried in the Jedi?"
"We passed by the farmland just now, and it can be seen that the ancient emperor had his own people. After his death, are the people of Nanchao going to the Jedi to worship their king? ”
This kind of argument made even Bai Nineteen himself feel pale and powerless.
Fan Li shook his head.
"If he is a king of a dead country, what qualifications does he have to talk about dignity?"
There is no doubt that Nanchao is a fact.
As for whether the ancient emperor Bai Shijiu was looking for was the king of the fallen country, Fan Li was just guessing, but the probability was really big enough.
Finally, the trio decided to look for the Jedi.
Jedi, surprisingly easy to find.
A mountain of children.
The so-called Tongshan is a desolate and dead place within a radius of ten miles, where not even a single weed can grow.
The three of them walked to the foot of Tong Mountain, Bai Shijiu felt the yin wind penetrating her bones, and she couldn't help but tremble slightly with her cultivation.
"Here...... It must be a Jedi, right? Bai Nineteen said with difficulty.
There is no need for Fan Li to answer, the scene in front of him says everything.
Even the Emperor's Tomb has been found!
Just a little lower on the mountainside, everyone clearly saw a tombstone and a deserted grave.
Three words are engraved on the tombstone: Tomb of King Ji.
The code word is annoying, it is annoying to check the information, I want to break the change, and I want to travel.
