Volume 2, The Journey of the Husband and Gentleman Chapter 19, Green Mountains Outside the Mountains
There is a plaque on the stone gate of the Tang Tomb, and the word Tang on the plaque represents the belonging of this place. Only the Divine Lack Realm can enter the Tang Tomb, Bai Jiu didn't understand what kind of rule this was, until he walked into the stone gate, he suddenly realized.
It turned out that this gate was a formation, and when Bai Jiu entered, he obviously felt a strange power, swept over his body, and then floated away. Even after a hundred years, this force is still powerful and terrifying, and the meaning of the expression is still unquestionable.
Bai Jiu felt that if he was not a god at this time, even if he was more powerful in the Pure Observation Realm, he would still be directly torn to pieces by that force.
Just a gatekeeper formation can be so powerful, how many such formations exist in this Tang Tomb, and how powerful the Tang Dynasty was back then.
The hundred cultivators passed through the stone gate one by one and came to a meadow, which was very small and surrounded by dense woods, and it was unknown where it led. Through the gaps between the branches, you can see that there seem to be several towering mountains in the distance, and Tangling is such a small world, which is even bigger and more vast than the mountains and rivers.
Some people came to say goodbye, most of them were students from the Tianqi Fourth Academy, among which there were more natural Qingfeng Courtyards, Bai Jiu responded one by one, Tang Chun stood beside him, looking at the world of Tang Ling, and seemed to be full of emotion in his heart.
It didn't take long for there to be no one on the grass except for Bai Jiu and Tang Chun, and the surrounding woods became quieter.
Bai Jiu's gaze fell around, his divine sense swept through the surrounding woods, but found that it was still blank, and there were no lines in the sea of consciousness, it seemed that everything in Tang Ling needed to be seen with eyes, and divine consciousness such a thing as cheating could not be used at all.
Tang Chun had no intention of leaving, Bai Jiu reached out and touched his shoulder.
Tang Chun, who was slowly sobering up from his trance, looked around and said softly, "Let's go too." ”
The two walked into the mountains and forests, and they didn't know where to go, but they kept moving forward.
Bai Jiu said: "We don't have a clear understanding of the structure and topography of the Tang Tomb, so it is too wasteful to look for it aimlessly. ”
Tang Chun said: "The emperors of the Tang Dynasty all liked mountains and rivers, and loved big rivers and mountains, so a small world like Tangling will also have mountains and rivers, and there will be rivers. ”
Bai Jiu said: "Without the exploration of the divine sense, the deeper you go, the more dangerous it is. ”
Tang Chun said: "The Tang Tomb is a cemetery mausoleum, no matter how beautiful the mountains and rivers are, the dead air is still heavy, and the deeper you go, the closer you will get to the place where those people died, the more dangerous it will be." ”
Looking at Tang Chun's calm face, Bai Jiu suddenly asked, "Why does Senior Tang also want to participate in Tang Ling?" I don't think it's as simple as Vice Dean Mo proposed. ”
Tang Chun did not stop, but was silent for a moment and said, "For an answer." ”
The branches and foliage of the green tree were not too luxuriant, but they were far away from the green mountains, and the two walked side by side, and their figures gradually disappeared into the forest.
A moment later, two sect disciples dressed in black walked into the meadow.
Looking at the mountains and forests not far away, the two took off the hats on their heads, revealing two young faces.
One of them was a short-haired girl, her eyes were clear, with a pair of black and white cut-out eyes, she was not very good-looking, but she was a little more beautiful than usual, and the black gown did not have a trace of gloom on her body, but made her face look cleaner.
The other was a young man who looked to be in his mid-twenties. His appearance is handsome, his demeanor is modest, and his figure is a little tall and straight. There was a smile on his lips, but even then he still did not seem to have the slightest complacency or pride, because his eyes were calm, and that smile came from the calmness and confidence in his eyes.
Cultivators who came here from outside the Sword Gate would turn their eyes to the surrounding woods, and then see the mountain peaks in the distance. The two were no exception, but the man didn't look at it, but the girl was a little curious.
After a while, the girl asked, "Senior brother, is there really an immortal life in this Tang Tomb?" ”
The man shook his head and said, "Who is sure of the word immortality?" ”
The girl was a little annoyed and said, "If not, wouldn't we be working in vain in this green mountain?" ”
The man smiled and said, "I didn't say no, I just said I'm not sure, there are too many secrets in the Tang Tombs, countless times more than the ruins of the Nantian Dao Gate in Qingshan Ridge, not to mention that the previous Nantian Dao Gate was originally for the Tang Dynasty royal family." ”
The girl said: "The Nantian Dao Gate records that the heavenly falling spiritual objects can be refined into an elixir and can be immortalized. ”
The man shook his head, his face was kind, and said, "If you can really live forever, where do you need a dead man's graveyard like Tangling." ”
...........
Bai Jiu and Tang Chun walked forward in the forest, and along the way, neither of them spoke.
Leaving the not-so-dense woods, we came to a mountain hill full of blue eyes.
It turned out that when they entered the Tang Tomb, everyone was already on a mountain.
Standing on a cliff bank, Bai Jiu looked at the scenery in the distance, the stacked green peaks bathed in the sun and the long river like a silver ribbon in the distance. He suddenly felt that his heart was open, and a cool spring breeze blew, but that's it.
Tang Ling is really as open as the legend, such a small world, can be the area of the Tang Dynasty at that time, such a small world, than the world in the realm of mountains and rivers is countless times larger.
Walking through the mountains, after a short time, I saw a mountain road that was not very wide, this mountain road was nine curves and long, extending into the mountains and forests in the distance, and disappeared above the green mountains.
Bai Jiu wanted to say: It turns out that there is a road here.
Tang Chun looked at this road, but his face was a little solemn.
Bai Jiu was a little puzzled and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Tang Chun thought for a moment and asked, "Have you ever thought that in such a place, there will be strange beasts?" ”
"Alien beasts?"
Bai Jiu frowned, and suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, over the years, because of the cultivators' development of unknown things, there are now very few hidden places on the entire continent. The only ones are the snowy fields in the north, the deep sea in the south, and the dense primeval forests in the east. The existence of alien beasts is even rarer, and in the past hundred years, there have been almost no such so-called rumors.
Because their living environment is already very harsh, there are even fewer alien beasts that can breathe out the breath of heaven and earth like humans.
But Tang Ling is different, Tang Ling has been isolated from the world for a hundred years, there is very little human activity here, most of the time is a dead silence, and the qi of heaven and earth here is several times that of the outside world, which is very suitable for the survival of those strange beasts. What's more, no one knows whether the Tang Emperor would deliberately raise some fierce beasts in the Tang Mausoleum to take care of their royal mausoleum.
Tang Chun continued: "Look at this mountain road, although the traces on it have been washed away very clean because of time, you can still see the messy traces. ”
"Even if there were royal members buried in this hill, it wouldn't be the only trail. This trail is likely to have been artificially walked out of the past, but a hundred years have passed, and it still looks like a new step out without paving. ”
Bai Jiu asked, "Why not people?" ”
Tang Chun said expressionlessly: "If there are people, they will be aware of it the moment Tang Ling is opened, with the power of the Shimen Formation, as long as they are willing to trigger it, we will already die before we enter Tang Ling." ”
Bai Jiu suddenly felt a little chill behind him, and turned his head to look at Tang Chun.
Tang Chun understood what Bai Jiu wanted to say, and said slowly: "It's not impossible. ”
Tang Ling was too mysterious, and it wasn't until Tang Chun's words that Bai Jiu understood that the place they came to could be said to be the most mysterious unknown place in the whole world.
It has not been opened for a hundred years, and even if it was opened a hundred years ago, there has never been a record, and all the books recorded about the Tang Tomb only mention the royal mausoleum located in the Qingshan Ridge, and never say anything about the area or structure in it.
The Unknown Land, also known as the Unknowable Land, no one knows what will happen to them next.
The trail leads to the high mountains in the distance, stretching deep into the forest, where there is still mist.
Bai Jiu looked up at the sky, and it seemed that it was noon on a spring day. From the beginning of entering the Tang Tomb, they had already passed through a forest and came to the side of the Qingshan Cliff, and then saw this mountain road, and stayed here for a while. According to this reckoning, there will be at least an hour. But Kasuga is still in that position, impartial.
"There is no sunset."
"At that time, the royal practice of the Tang Dynasty surnamed Li was mainly based on the sun, and it was the burning of the sun, and the sun did not set in the Tang Tomb, which should be related to the character of the Li family."
"The sun is in the sky, and the empire lives forever."
"It's a pity that it's just a dream that has lasted for thousands of years."
"Let's go"
Tang Chun said.
Bai Jiu retracted his gaze, he thought for a moment and asked, "Where should we go?" ”
After drinking tea with Vice Dean Mo, talking about the great cause of the thousand years, Bai Jiu thought about where he was going in the Tang Tomb. First of all, there are the landscapes, and then there are those hidden places to find your own answers.
Tang Chun said: "Let's walk along the mountain road. ”
Bai Jiu was a little puzzled, and just mentioned that there may be risks in this.
Tang Chun explained: "Since there were people who walked out before and still exist, it means that this road will definitely lead to a place." And we were the last of the group to set out, and there must have been someone on this road before, so maybe something would be discovered. ”
Bai Jiu said: "I think of a sentence that risk and reward coexist. ”
Tang Chun paused for a moment.
Bai Jiu continued: "There is another sentence, except for life and death, it is all trivial. ”
