In the forest, the sunlight passed through the leaves.
The weak sunlight made the originally cold weather much colder.
Looking at everything in front of him, Mu Qianhua thought to himself, was the Yuanyang Villa really wiped out?
Ruoyuanyang The Villa is really as powerful as the rumors.
What kind of strength can destroy Yuanyang Villa overnight?
"Qianqian" Looking at Mu Qianhua's expression, Helianshang asked with some worry.
This forest makes people feel like they are living in a fog.
Seeing Mu Qianhua's expression, Helianshang looked at it with some worry , but I don’t know what to say.
At this moment, all comfort is unnecessary.
"I'm fine.
Looking at the situation ahead, we have no choice but to abandon our horses and move forward."
Mu Qianhua looked around and saw that the forest was full of weeds and there was no way to pass, so he said.
"Well, according to the scale of the map, if abandoning the horse is not possible, we should be able to reach the destination before sunset."
He Lianshang put the two jade pendants together, looked at the map and said.
"Let's be careful and hide the horses.
It seems that it's particularly easy to get lost in the woods here."
Mu Qianhua turned around and looked at the surrounding trees.
It seems that these trees should have been planted at the same time.
Yeah, the surroundings are pretty much the same, like a natural psychedelic array.
In the woods, once you lose your direction, it is difficult to get out again.
Because of this, many explorers have died in the Amazon.
Yuanyang Villa is located at the junction of Riyao, Nanchu and Tiansheng, relatively speaking.
It is said that this is a natural Amazon jungle, and the dangers therein come not only from itself, but also from many artificial factors.
"Qian Qian seems to know a lot."
He Lianshang said as he looked around.
"Of course, let's go."
Mu Qianhua said when she saw that An Ye and An Yu had hidden their horses.
After Mu Qianhua finished speaking, Helian Shang directly picked up Mu Qianhua, jumped up the tree, and shuttled through the jungle.
Lu Rui and others did the same.
After about a while, a few people descended to the ground.
"Is anyone following?"
Mu Qianhua asked with doubts.
She had just looked around and found no one following her.
Could it be that there were others she couldn't detect.
"Since the morning, I have been feeling like someone is following me, just to be on the safe side."
He Lianshang said directly.
Since last night, he always felt that someone was secretly watching them.
He thought that the other party would take action, but he never expected that the other party was delayed in taking action and could not clearly see the other party's purpose.
And they were in a hurry, so the only way was to get rid of them. them.
"Let's go, it should be in that direction."
Mu Qianhua pointed to the increasingly dense forest and said, according to the map, starting from here, keep going forward.
She has seen such trees at the prison gate before. .
At this moment, she remembered Wenqin's words again.
Wenqin once said that the prison gate was there to protect her, but she went to the prison gate to see it.
The history of the prison gate was established a long time ago, although it was once rarely seen.

It was known that the prison gate buildings were at least several hundred years old, but she had never found an answer to this.
The group of people shuttled through the jungle, and the sky became darker and darker.
Helian Shang protected Mu Qianhua all the way.
Compared to Lu Rui and Chu Qing, although all their luggage was handed over to An Ye and An Yu, they were not so Fortunately, every step is worth a thousand pieces of gold.
As the sun set, the group finally came to a division gate.
Above the stone gate was carved the words Yuanyang Villa.
Dark Night stepped forward and pushed the stone gate, but there was no movement.
There were high walls around the stone gate.
There are poisonous weeds growing above it.
You don't know the way forward, so you don't dare to enter easily.
Mu Qianhua stepped forward and looked at the stone door.
After a closer look, he saw that there were two small holes on the door, which were similar to the shape of jade pendants.
Mu Qianhua and Helianshang looked at each other, cleaned the dust in the holes, and The jade pendant was put in, and instantly, there was a sound, and the stone door slowly opened.
Through the gap in the stone door, Mu Qianhua looked at the mountains and plains, with flowers blooming, and a long stone staircase appearing in front of him.
It was very clean.
Although there were no traces of human life, there was no sign of being abandoned. .
"Go in and take a look."
Mu Qianhua looked at Helianshang and then said.
Helian Shang nodded, and the group stepped into the stone door.
Compared with the environment inside, they looked a little embarrassed now.
As soon as everyone walked in, the stone door was immediately closed, and then a burst of mist covered the original stairs, making it difficult to see the way forward.
This scene reminded Mu Qianhua of the stage effect.
Compared with the stage effect, in the mist , with a touch of psychedelic effect.
"One for each person."
Mu Qianhua took out the elixir and handed it to the people behind him.
He Lianshang didn't need it at all, and neither did she.
Lu Rui and Chu Qing were different.
Now, the weather was cold.
If they were lost, they would fall into Coma, the consequences are disastrous.
At the same time, in the villa, just as the mountain door opened, there was a movement.
"After all these years, I never thought that anyone would be able to find the entrance to Yuanyang Villa."
An old man in his sixties, with white hair and a vicissitudes of life in his expression, said.
"Master, do you want to go and have a look?"
An old man in his sixties stood behind the old man and asked.
His expression seemed to be full of hope, but he was also afraid of disappointment.
His expression was very tangled.
"No need, it's been twenty years.
Maybe I should have given up hope long ago."
The old man said.
In the first few years, he sent people to search everywhere, hoping that everything was just a dream.
But after getting the news, he Completely disappointed, he activated the protective formation and sealed off the entire Yuanyang Villa.
He only lived for a moment.
The people who survived the catastrophe were all old now.
He really shouldn't hold him in his arms anymore.
Inexplicably hopeful.

"But, Master, now the mountain gate is open, and the only one who can open it is Master Mu."
The old man reminded that the design of Yuanyang Villa means that if you want to open the mountain gate from the outside, you can only use the Yuanyang Pendant.
If you break in by force, you will be blocked.
You can't get out of the trapped formation unless someone closes the guarding formation.
Even if you use the Yuanyang Pendant to open the stone door, you still have to go through a formation to enter the interior of the villa.
However, there is not much danger, because you only need to walk in and out of the Shengmen.
The premise is that you don't get lost. , over the past twenty years, the flowers and plants cultivated at Yuanyang Villa have formed natural hallucinogens.
"If it were him, there would be no need to see it.
He is familiar with everything here."
The old man said, not many people survived in that catastrophe, and those who survived were no longer willing to step out of the villa.
It is precisely because of this that Yuanyang Villa disappeared from the eyes of the world.
"Guardian Array, it seems we only need to walk up this staircase."
Helian Shang looked around and said.
"However, this road doesn't seem to be easy to walk, so be careful."
Mu Qianhua warned, first from the past, and now to the guardian formation.
Shangguan Yao is pregnant now, and this road is really difficult to walk.
Mu Qianhua thought.
Everyone nodded and followed Mu Qianhua and Helianshang.
The sky was getting darker and darker.
The stairs seemed to have no end.
They were shrouded in fog and couldn't see the way forward.
Through the weak sunlight, they could only Can see clearly from a distance of about one meter.
Time passed by little by little, until the sky was completely dark.
The old man in the house couldn't hold it any longer, thinking, it's just a thousand steps, why has it been half an hour, and the person hasn't arrived yet.
"Master, if you are worried, why don't you go and have a look."
Upon seeing this, the old man immediately reminded.
"That's all, you might as well go and have a look.
I'll tell you to go down and light a few more lamps."
Then there were instructions.
Over the years, the grandeur of Yuanyang Villa still shows its former appearance, but in its grandeur, it reveals the loneliness and helplessness of the years. .
"Yes, sir."
"Hong Lin, do you think it could be him?"
the old man asked Hong Lin behind him.
In the first few years, he heard that Mu Dongchen was looking for Shangguan Yao's whereabouts.
That catastrophe started the killing spree in the guard formation.
Even the people inside the villa were unable to leave the formation, and the time to activate the killing formation was one month.
When they came out one month later, everything had changed.
"Sir, Master Mu cares about the young lady and will definitely come back to see you."
Hong Lin said.
Over the years, Mu Dongchen has never set foot in the Yuanyang Villa.
Perhaps it was because he had been there that month before, and everything was out of the question.
Got it.
"Okay, I'll listen to you.
Let's go over and have a look."
The old man knew that Hong Lin's words undoubtedly meant that he would relax, but over the years, he has lost hope.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Who is it?
Since he came here with a jade pendant , they should go and see him.
"Yes, sir."
Hong Lin immediately picked up the lantern and said.
In the darkness, Helianshang took out a luminous pearl from nowhere.
Unfortunately, the range was limited.
He could only see the distance to his feet.
Just when a few people were thinking about how far ahead they were, a ray of light suddenly appeared not far away.
There was bright light, and several people walked past it.
"Yao'er" Mu Qianhua and Helianshang had just walked out of the stairs when an old man appeared in front of her, with tears in his eyes, he called softly and rushed over.
When Helianshang saw this, he immediately hugged Mu Qianhua in his arms. , avoiding the old man.
"Yao'er, you're not dead.
You are my Yao'er, right?"
The old man asked, looking at the very similar face, with two tears appearing in the corners of his eyes.
"You are talking about my mother."
Mu Qianhua looked at the old man and said, thinking, could this be her grandfather Shangguanxuan?
Didn't Mu Dongchen say that Yuanyang Villa was destroyed in the catastrophe that day?
Is it possible that it was revealed?
What's the secret?
"You are Yao'er's daughter.
Yao'er is still alive.
Yes, these are these two jade pendants.
Are you really Yao'er's daughter?"
Shangguan Xuan said in disbelief.
He was so excited that his words were a little incoherent.
"Well, my mother is Shangguan Yao."
Mu Qianhua said directly.
She seemed to be able to feel the restlessness of the blood in the old man in front of her.
There was a deep longing in the old man's expression.
"You are my granddaughter, how is Yao'er?"
Shangguanxuan quickly pulled Mu Qianhua over, looked around, and then asked.
"Mother is very good.
She will be here in a few days."
Mu Qianhua looked at Shangguanxuan and thought to himself, since he is still alive in these years, why has he sent anyone out to search?
Why has he been there since twenty years ago?
There are rumors that Yuanyang Villa has disappeared.
Now, looking at everything in front of me, there is loneliness in the grandeur.
"Really, Yao'er is really alive, just be alive," Shangguanxuan said excitedly.
He had given up hope.
He thought that he could only wait to see each other in the underworld after death, but he didn't expect that he would still be alive when he was alive.
Can meet.
Helian Shang saw the old man's excited expression and did not come forward to disturb him.
He just let the old man pull Mu Qianhua.
"Sir, Miss Sun's journey has been dusty, and it's cold outside.
It's better to go inside and talk."

Hong Lin on the side said to the excited Shangguan Xuan.
Over the years, everyone has died in Shangguan Yao, but he didn't expect that he was still alive.
"Yes, you are Yao'er's daughter.
Come on, call grandpa."
Shangguan Xuan said seductively, with hope shining in his eyes.
"Grandpa."
Mu Qianhua looked at the old man with a smile and said, no matter what the reason was, the old man did not search for Shangguan Yao's whereabouts.
The original answer is not important to everything now.
"Grandpa, I am only Helianshang, Qianqian's husband."
Helianshang couldn't bear it anymore, walked to Mu Qianhua, put his arms around Mu Qianhua's waist and said.
Lu Rui and others were almost knocked to the ground by Helianshang's words.
They knew that Mu Qianhua and Helianshang were already husband and wife, but Helianshang might have been too direct.
"Well, girl, let's go in with grandpa."
Shangguanxuan glanced at Helianshang, then ignored Helianshang and said.
Under the cover of night, the panoramic view of Yuanyang Villa could not be clearly seen.
Hong Lin immediately ordered people to prepare hot water so that the tired group wanted to freshen up.
Shangguan Xuan also seemed to be more energetic, and Hong Lin was also very happy.
After the meal, Shangguan Xuan asked about what happened in the past years.
Shangguan Xuan did not expect that Shangguan Yao had suffered so much in these years, especially after sleeping for ten years.
But now he is still alive, and he is more happy than sad.
"Girl, it's not easy to walk on this road."
This road down the mountain has been abandoned for nearly twenty years and is now overgrown with weeds.
"Fortunately, compared to that section of the road, the formation is the most difficult.
The mist in the air makes it almost impossible to see the stairs."
Mu Qianhua replied.
Time passed little by little, and it was not until late at night that Hong Lin reminded Shangguan Xuan that it was getting late.
"Miss Sun, you and my uncle will rest here tonight.
It's getting late and it's cold on the mountain.
You should rest early."
Hong Lin said after taking Mu Qianhua and Helianshang to the courtyard.
The courtyard looked very clean, but there was no The breath of life.
Over the years, the people in the villa must have held on to this glimmer of hope and preserved the appearance of the past.
"Well, thank you."
He Lianshang said immediately, so that he could live with Mu Qianhua openly, and felt beautiful in his heart.
Hong Lin waited for Mu Qianhua and He Lianshang to enter the room before leaving the yard and returning to Shangguanxuan.
"Hong Lin, am I not dreaming?
Yao'er is still alive and has a granddaughter."
Shangguan Xuan said in disbelief.
"No, sir, it's all true.
This will put my wife at ease."
Hong Lin said.
Since Shangguanxuan's wife passed away, Shangguanxuan has survived to this day relying on her last words.
Now, all this is worth it. of.
At night, everyone slowly falls asleep with a happy mood.
Early the next morning, Mu Qianhua and Helianshang got up early.

They had just washed up and walked out of the yard.
Shangguanxuan was already waiting at the door.
Everyone said that the old man didn't get much sleep.
For Shangguanxuan, it was probably difficult to sleep well last night.
Shangguanxuan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Mu Qianhua.
Fortunately, everything was not a dream.
"Grandpa, this is really like a fairyland on earth."
The sun has just risen, and there is still a thick mist in the air.
Through the mist, the villa is like an ink painting, extremely beautiful.
"As long as you like it, I will live here from now on."
Shangguanxuan said kindly, and his whole person changed overnight.
"Okay" Mu Qianhua nodded and said, although not now, one day, she might really live here.
"Grandpa, I want to ask what happened that year and why you thought my mother was dead."
After breakfast, Shangguanxuan took Mu Qianhua to visit everything in the villa, and Mu Qianhua asked.
"This starts from twenty-two years ago.
Back then, your grandma went to Yucheng once.
On the way back, she rescued a disfigured girl.
Your grandma took her to the Silent Valley and gave her to Gui Guzi for treatment.
The girl's appearance was completely disfigured.
Destroyed, out of desperation, your grandmother used you Mother's portrait, after curing the girl, your grandmother brought her back to the villa.
The girl lived in the villa for a while, and then left the villa," Shangguan Xuan said with memories, but he didn't expect that the momentary kindness at that time would turn out.
This is the result.
"What happens next?"
Although Mu Qianhua had already roughly guessed the reason, she still wanted to know more clearly.
"Two years after the girl left, she returned to Yuanyang Villa again, but she brought a group of masters from different places.
In order to obtain the treasures of the villa, they went around killing people.
Although there were many masters in the villa, most of them did not know how to do that.
A martial artist, in desperation, had no choice but to turn on the machine Everyone left through the secret passage and hid in the shelter built since the villa was established, but it was already a month later when they came out again.
When they came out, they only saw bones everywhere in the villa," Shangguanxuan recalled. , if possible, he would not want to recall the scene at that time.
"What about mother?"
"At that time, your mother was clamoring to find your father.
I didn't agree and walked out of the village angrily.
All I found was a skeleton wearing your mother's clothes.
Fortunately, Yao'er is still alive."
Shangguan.
Xuan said, but there was a touch of sadness in his expression.
If Shangguan Yao was not the one who died that day, he was also from the villa.
"Haven't mother and father seen that woman?"
Mu Qianhua asked.
If Mu Dongchen had seen that person, he should have found that clue.
"No, she only lived in the villa for more than a month.
At that time, Yao'er and the others were on the island in the middle of the lake on the other side of the mountain."
Shangguan Yao pointed directly at the mountain behind him and said.
He still remembered that after the catastrophe, his wife It would be nice if she didn't have a soft heart.
She has been living in self-blame all these years.

"Grandpa enters the villa.
Is there any other way besides the way we came in?"
He asked, thinking that Shangguan Yao was physically inconvenient and would be too tired to walk through the jungle.
"It's not like nothing, it's just that no one has passed by in decades.
After lunch, I will take you to see the island in the middle of the lake."
Shangguanxuan thought for a moment and then said.
In the afternoon, Shangguanxuan took Mu Qianhua and Helianshang and walked towards the pavilion on the side of the mountain.
They walked into the house where the pavilion was leaning against the mountain.
Shangguanxuan opened a secret passage with his skills.
In an instant, a secret passage appeared in front of everyone's eyes. , Shangguanxuan walked in first, and after walking for about two-quarters of an hour, a bright light appeared at the end of the dark corridor.
Coming out of the secret passage, Mu Qianhua was very surprised by the scene in front of him.
Surrounded by it was a large sinkhole, about dozens of acres in size.
There were several wooden houses here.
Although not grand, they were very delicate.
They came and went. , seeing Shangguanxuan arriving, everyone came over immediately.
There is a courtyard in the middle, surrounded by water.
The life here is very comfortable, like a paradise hidden in the world.
"Grandpa, this is the real Mandarin Duck Villa."
Mu Qianhua looked around.
Around the lake, there were occasionally two or three mandarin ducks swimming by.
If this was the case, then everything outside was just a cover.
"Yes, according to records, the ancestors of the Shangguan family chose to live in seclusion because of the natural terrain here, which makes it difficult for people to notice.
However, the geographical location here is difficult to attack, and it is also difficult to defend.
It is surrounded by cliffs, making it impossible to Let people come in, but if someone intends to destroy this place, a fire is enough, because there is Yuanyang Villa outside.
People who can enter here are trustworthy people.
When no outsiders are around, it is usually very difficult.
Shaohui lives in a villa," Shangguan Xuan introduced.
After Shangguan Xuan introduced the people living here to Mu Qianhua, everything here was self-sufficient and no problem at all.
Shangguan Xuan took Mu Qianhua to the lake, got on the boat, and set off to the island in the middle of the lake.
"We have been living here, girl, compared to the outside, it is much more beautiful here."
After arriving on the island, Shangguanxuan said.
"Well, indeed."
Shangguan Yao nodded.
The so-called tiankeng was formed by the movement of the earth's crust.
Although it does not belong to any dynasty in the previous life, other things are very similar.
The island in the middle of the lake is not very big, but it is enough for a family to live here.
There are many exotic flowers and plants planted on the island, and they are all good medicinal materials.
Helian Shang was also very surprised by the scene in front of him.
If the previous villa was a paradise created by man, then this is a paradise created by nature.
No wonder there have been countless rumors about Yuanyang Villa since ancient times, but people who have been here But very few.
Through the cliffs on all sides, Mu Qianhua saw a familiar mountain peak.
"Grandpa, that's the back mountain behind Silent Valley, right?"
Mu Qianhua said, looking at the mountain peak.
"Girl, have you been to Silent Valley?"
Shangguanxuan asked in surprise.

"Not only that, Gui Guzi is also my master.
I have lived in the Silent Valley for five years.
Grandpa, wouldn't you say that there is a secret passage leading to the Silent Valley?"
Mu Qianhua asked after looking at it.
Surrounded by cliffs, Helian Shang was very surprised.
How much labor was needed to dig a tunnel, and how many years of time would be wasted.
"However, the secret passage is over there.
It has not been opened for twenty years.
The place where the secret passage leads is the secret passage in the Silent Valley.
One leads to the Silent Valley and the other leads to another place."
Shangguanxuan pointed out Said in the direction close to the mountain peak.
Later, Shangguan Xuan painted for Mu Qian the origins of the Silent Valley and the Prison Gate where the generals competed.
The Prison Gate was actually born to protect the Shangguan family and was also a member of Yuanyang Villa.
Gui Guzi was the leader of the secret guards at that time.
In fact, In the final analysis, the relationship with Shangguan Xuan is more like that of brothers.
At this moment, Mu Qianhua finally understood why Guiguzi said that the prison gate existed to protect her.
Perhaps it was because when Guiguzi saw her appearance, he had a suspicion, just because at that time he thought that Shangguan Yao had already died.
Die, and Yuanyang Villa ceases to exist.
"Then can't we come directly from the secret passage in Silent Valley?"
Mu Qianhua suddenly remembered that when she walked through the secret passage, there was indeed a fork in the secret passage.
At that time, she had thought about where it would lead to, but she didn't expect it.
It's here.
"Yes, but the mechanism designed for that door requires a key to open, and the key is the jade pendant in your hands.
No one else knows about that passage except the head of Yuanyang Villa, and people who pass through that road , It can only be from the Shangguan family," Shangguan Xuan said.
Mu Qianhua nodded immediately.
Although she knew that the Shangguan family had a deep history, she didn't expect it to be so deep, which made her unable to react.
"Shang, please tell me, when we get old, we can live here, okay."
Mu Qianhua released a carrier pigeon to send a message to Mu Dongchen, and then said to Helian Shang behind him.
"Okay, then we will also farm and be self-sufficient."
Helian Shang said, looking at everything around him.
The tranquility here can make people calm down consciously.
There is no fight over rights, but only peace
