Chapter 093: Into the Holy Land

The crowd listened to Qingchen's command. Clean up the corpses a little. Sort out a way out that can walk people. And then move on. Found a place to rest. I plan to do it after dawn the next day. Then enter the Holy Land.

Maybe it's the calm before the storm. Nothing happened that night. There were no men in black. There are no killers. There are no former acquaintances who run to Qingchen to find death.

After a night of silence. It is a new dawn. But everyone knows. Real danger. This is just the beginning. Because no one knows what is in the Holy Land. What kind of mystery is there.

Many people think. The holy land in southern Xinjiang must be in southern Xinjiang. But no one could have imagined. The so-called Southern Xinjiang Holy Land is actually located on a mountain in the territory of the Heavenly Star Kingdom. Hundreds of years ago. This mountain actually belongs to southern Xinjiang. But after years of change. This mountain has become the territory of the Celestial Star Country.

Entrance to the Holy Land. It is a stone staircase that descends downward. View from the bottom of the stone steps on the ground. I couldn't see it all at once. I don't know how long it is. But everyone knows it in their hearts. The door to the Holy Land. Right at the end of this stone staircase.

"I thought the holy land was in the mountains. I didn't expect it to be underground. Yu Tianqi looked at the stone steps in front of him. He sighed. There was a strange light in his eyes.

Ever since I knew where I came from. And the regent told him. She's looking for a holy place. The holy land of southern Xinjiang. There are all sorts of treasures inside. But Yu Tianqi's influence on the Holy Land. It's always a few lines on the picture that are not clear. Or a few vague words from the mouth of the regent.

There was never a moment. between him and the Holy Land. Only so close. Near...... There is only one stone staircase that I don't know how long.

"Shall we go in now? "Tomorrow stands by Qingchen's side. asked.

"Let's go. It's already at the door. No matter what. and all of them will see and see. Qingchen said. "Hope this so-called holy place...... Don't let us down. ”

Qingchen's voice fell. He was the first to raise his feet. Embark on the first stone steps. Went down into the bottomless underground.

Tomorrow and Mingyue are still walking very responsibly by Qingchen's side. The people behind him followed one by one. In order. Fish rush in. Step by step, we approached the Holy Land.

It didn't take long for a few people to leave. And he came to the bottom. This stone staircase is about 500 steps. Just because it leads to the underground. And it's winding and rugged. That's why there's no end in sight. The end of the stone steps. It's a swarthy black hole. Take a few steps towards the cave. Then we arrived at the true Holy Land.

The two vermilion iron doors were closed. There is not a single crevice. The iron gate is carved with fierce animals. It turned out to be an ancient dragon. The dragon gave birth to nine sons. The Nine Sons are entrenched in these two doors in various forms. But they all have one thing in common. It is the person who stands in front of the door with his head facing forward. It seems that the next second. They will become beasts. Lunge at them.

"That's what it is...... The holy land of southern Xinjiang. Mingyue looked at the vermilion door. Frowning. The eyes are full of disbelief. Muttered in his mouth.

Qingchen saw these two doors when he saw them. There was also infinite doubt in my heart.

Reverence for dragons has always been a tradition in the Central Plains. And the emperor of the Central Plains is also known as the true dragon son of heaven. And use the dragons to guard the treasure or the mausoleum. It is also a custom in the Central Plains. The so-called dragon vein. That's where it came about.

But. Qingchen didn't expect it. A sacred place handed down from southern Xinjiang. He even used the dragon clan as a guardian beast. Even on the gates of this holy place. It is also carved with gluttony. Pixiu these beasts.

"As far as I know. Southern Xinjiang women worship bats. Men worship snakes. This is a tradition in southern Xinjiang since the founding of the country in ancient times. When. even admired the dragon clan of the Central Plains. Qingchen looked at the door in front of him. Sneered. Speak.

"There's nothing surprising about that. Back in time immemorial. Shikoku is one family. There is no split yet. There are no stars and moons now. The so-called Southern Xinjiang people, Tianxing people and Ningyue people. It's all from the same country. So. There will be the same beliefs. Not surprising at all. Yu Tianqi said. "Maybe. This holy place. It was handed down much earlier. Only later. It was divided into southern Xinjiang. ”

"You say so. There seems to be some truth to it. Nightshade nodded. Said. "But which country is this holy place? Belief in what. It doesn't matter. What we're going to do now. It's to open the door. Then walk in. Uncover the true face of this holy place. ”

"Yes. Yu Tianqi nodded hurriedly. Said. Mother said. The key to the Holy Land is in the hands of Miss Mu. Ask the girl to take it out. Open this door. ”

Qingchen glanced at Yu Tianqi. A smile tugged at the corners of his mouth. Then he pulled out the box from his sleeve that he had taken from the regent. Looked at the two doors. Trying to find a place to fit this box.

"There's not even a keyhole on this door. Where to insert the key. Ning Chen looked at the box in Qingchen's hand. I looked at the door again. Then he asked.

"Take a closer look. Is there really no keyhole? Qingchen smiled lightly. said. Take a step forward with the box. Aim at the gluttony with the mouth open. Then he stuffed the box in his hand into the glutton's mouth.

It turned out. Among the nine dragons on the door. Only the gluttonous open mouth is hollow. Everything else is solid. And the gap between the gluttonous teeth was exactly as wide as the box. If you look closely, you'll find out. The gluttonous mouth. It's the keyhole of the door.

Just as Dusty would expect. The moment she put the box in her gluttonous mouth. The scarlet door made a rumbling sound. It's very harsh. It was as if the iron door that had been silent for many years was suddenly forcibly pushed open. The mottled and heavy sound that came out.

Gradually, the door opened. The things behind the door gradually appeared in front of everyone's eyes. It's another long secret passage with no end in sight. By the glimmer of daylight coming in from outside. The dust is about visible. Both sides of the secret passage. A few feet away there is a candlestick. The intention is to light the way forward.

Tomorrow has already found all the fire folds and candles that have not been used up before. After lighting it, it was handed to everyone. One for each person. At the suggestion of dust cleaning. The crowd walked towards this secret passage with no end in sight.

Tomorrow and the moon walk on both sides. Light all the candles in the secret passage. Makes the whole passage brighter. Everyone looked at the seemingly endless road in front of them. There was a chill in my heart for no reason. It was as if he was on his way to the Shura Hell.

This road seems to have no end. The crowd was gone for a long time. No one spoke again. Qingchen didn't say anything. It's just expressionless. No one could figure out what she was thinking.

However. when the people did not see it. Qingchen frowned slightly. Look at it all in front of you. The uneasiness in my heart grew stronger and stronger.

The map is right. The key is right. The dangers encountered on the way to the Holy Land. It's exactly the same as what Long Xiang said.

All right. But what's wrong?

Why walk down the stone steps from her. When I saw those two doors, I started. in her heart. on this trip to the Holy Land. Deep suspicions arose.

After entering the Holy Land. She thought she was going to encounter a rain of guns and swords. I thought I was going to encounter a trap. I thought that the Qimen Dunjia Formation Occult would be waiting for her in the Holy Land. There is also the divine beast that Long Xiang said about guarding the holy land. A divine beast that requires a breath technique to avoid......

But. She never thought about it. Behind that door. It could have been so calm. Calm enough to make her think. She didn't come to a dangerous holy place. Rather, an ordinary place. Nor did they come to explore the secrets of the Holy Land. Instead, I came to play in this deep mountain forest with a few confidants and friends.

The calmer. The more apprehensive Qingchen's mood became. Because the more you go inside. The more she discovered. This holy place and the dragon incense describes. It's like two places.

According to Long Xiang. The overall layout of the sacred sites in southern Xinjiang is a circle. After entering the gate. These are two separate branches. One left and one right. But it doesn't matter which way you go. Eventually all on the opposite side of the gate. The other side of the Holy Land meets. Because of two directions. It's just half a circle of the Holy Land.

But now. She didn't see the two forks in the road, one on the left and one on the right. She saw only one way. A road that stretches inward infinitely from the gate. And by her own sense. The place she entered. It's not the round shape in the mouth of the dragon. It's square.

But Long Xiang told her this information in private. The others didn't hear it. I never knew what the Holy Land was like. So everyone else thinks. This is the holy place shown on the map. That's what they're here for.

Map.

These two words suddenly flashed through Qingchen's mind. It seems to be initiated. Something poured down from the head. Something came to her mind.

That's right. It's the map.

The map she had gathered. There are eight words on it: Ghost Realm. The trespasser dies. But this time. She went from leaving the capital of southern Xinjiang to entering the Holy Land. I haven't seen these eight words along the way. It doesn't matter if it's on a tree or a stone. These eight words. It never appeared in front of her eyes.

But what the hell is going on? When would she make such a careless mistake. I didn't even see these iconic eight words. I walked here without hesitation. Then he entered this so-called holy place.

Qingchen walked quietly inside. There are more and more thoughts in my heart. The doubts are getting deeper and deeper. She finally knew something was wrong. But...... She didn't know why she hadn't noticed something was wrong sooner. It's such an obvious loophole.

I kept thinking about everything about the Holy Land. From the first time I heard the name Holy Land. Then find the map and key. Get clues from the map. Then, under Xiao Yi's reminder, I got the last atlas and found all the clues...... Then the dragon incense appeared. Told her about the Holy Land. And what do you need to go through to get to the Holy Land......

Everything is so logical. There is nothing wrong with that...... However. Why did she still go to a completely different place from Long Xiang's mouth.
