This was already the second time for Lian Yue to visit and he was quite familiar with the environment here.
While he introduced me to the situation here, he paid attention to whether the surrounding environment was different from last time.
After walking through the city gate, a small square appeared in front of it.
The square was surrounded by various columns and statues.
The style of the statues was very strange, and the faces of the characters were different from those in the Central Plains.
Lian Yue vigorously patted the thick pillar beside him: "This is not a real miracle."
When we came to the center of the ruins, I finally understood why Lian Yue sighed like this.
Under the noon sun, a golden circular building about fifty feet high stood in front of us.
The sun shines thousands of rays on the ruins of Wuji City, showing her mystery and splendor in front of us at the same time.
The trees on both sides formed tall domes.
Some wild vines and other creeping plants climbed all over the top of the golden building, tangled and climbed up the tree trunks.
Standing there, no matter where you look, you can see a desolate scene everywhere, with beautiful green everywhere.
The round golden building stands like a rock in the center of the ruins, and beautiful birds flutter past it from time to time.
I stared at everything in front of me with excitement.
Will this mysterious Miao treasure bring my lover back to me?
The golden circular building did not leave any traces due to the vicissitudes of time.
I slowly came to the front of the building, bowed down, and gently touched the outer wall of the building.
Lian Yue whispered: "The outer wall of this building is completely made of gold."
I marveled at the miracle of creation and at the same time felt a rare joy.
Putting aside the treasure hidden inside the Miao's Treasure, the gold alone is already an immeasurable wealth.
It is strange that such a large amount of wealth is hidden in Death Valley.
How come it has not been discovered by outsiders for so many years?
Lian Yue seemed to see my confusion and explained: "If it weren't for Leng Guxuan who led the way, I would not have thought that there would be such an ancient city here.
I once asked the people around me, and they had never heard of any death here.
The existence of the valley, in other words, Death Valley has only recently appeared here.”
I nodded.
There were too many mysteries that were difficult to explain.
Some things I'm afraid I will never be able to reveal in this lifetime.
I signaled my warriors to search around.
After making sure that there were no other enemies around, he and Lian Yue walked along the golden steps to the top of the circular building.
Halfway through, they found a narrow crack in the center of the circular building, which was about an inch wide. meters wide and two meters long, enough for an adult's body to pass through.
Judging from the metal debris scattered around, it was obviously man-made damage.
Lian Yue's expression seemed a little hesitant.
It seemed that he still hadn't forgotten the painful experience last time.
The two warriors took the lead in walking through the gap.
After a while, their voices came from below, indicating that everything was safe.
Ten more warriors walked down one after another.
When I was about to walk into the gap, Lian Yue suddenly grabbed my shoulder and whispered: "Master, why do you need to take risks yourself?"
I smiled and said, "With so many people protecting me, you don't have to worry too much about what might happen."
After speaking, he walked into the gap.
The warrior below had already lit a torch, illuminating the interior of the building.
Lian Yue followed me.
We walked forward about ten feet and saw the stairs leading down.
Lianyue said: "From here you will reach a wide stone room, which is probably the square in the building."
The air inside became a little turbid.

In addition, the height of the passage is limited.
Many times, we have to bend down and walk, and a feeling of depression arises in our hearts.
After meeting in the wide stone room in front, Lian Yue pointed to a small door on the right and said: "Go out of this small door, and you will walk into a crystal hanging ladder.
Follow the hanging ladder down about twenty feet to reach the third part of the underground palace. layer."
I once sneaked into the tomb of King Qin with Lianyue.
Although the scale of the place was grand, it was undoubtedly inferior to the magnificence and sophistication of Miao's treasures.
I had a strong interest in Miao Qiwu, but I didn't know it.
Is this wealthy businessman who was the most wealthy in the world the same type of person as Cao Rui?
In order to ensure that nothing went wrong, Lian Yue led a team of 20 people to explore the road ahead.
After making sure that there was nothing unusual, he asked me to come back and invite me to accompany him.
Walking into the small door, a spiral crystal staircase spirals downward.
In the dim light, it is difficult to see how many levels this crystal staircase has.
I was escorted by warriors and walked slowly down the crystal stairs.
As we got closer to the tomb chamber on the ground floor, the light began to dim, and various exquisite reliefs appeared on the crystal walls on both sides.
Through the light, you can see that the relief carving is the pattern of flying apsaras.
The flying girl on the screen has a graceful posture and extremely exquisite carving skills.
I couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect that there are such beautiful flying patterns in the world."
What's even more strange is that the hair and skin of the flying girl have been dyed to make it lifelike.
The eyes of the statue are extremely smart.
No matter which direction I go, my gaze is always there.
Stare at me.
Lian Yue was a little frightened and said: "The last time I passed here, there were no such statues."
I smiled lightly and reached out to touch the statue.
The tentacles were cold and hard.
These statues were obviously dead objects.
I think I just ignored them because I was in a hurry last time.
The corridor in front became wider and could accommodate six people walking together.
Lianyue's pace became slower and slower, and he finally stopped fifty feet ahead and whispered: "This road is completely different from the last time I came here.
It's so strange."
He came to me and said: "Master, you'd better leave first and wait until I find out the situation here."
Judging from Lian Yue's expression, what he said was not unreasonable.
I nodded and said, "That's fine.
I’ll go back first and wait until you find out the situation before I come back.”
We turned around and walked back along the original path with a group of warriors.
When we walked back to the front of the relief, a gust of cold wind suddenly blew by.
All the torches in our hands were immediately extinguished, and we felt panic in our hearts.
Four warriors surrounded me, fearing something unexpected would happen.
After a brief panic, I quickly calmed down: "Don't panic, light the torch."
When the torch lit up again, I couldn't help but be startled.
Everything in front of me changed in a short period of time.
Most of the warriors who came down with me had disappeared, and there were only eight warriors left guarding me.
We are in a wide hall, looking at the four walls, we can see that there is no exit.
The eight warriors had obviously never experienced such a strange thing, and they hurriedly took out their weapons and knocked on the surrounding stone walls.
Try to find the hidden exit.
Suddenly there was a strange sound under our feet.

Before we could fully react, the ground beneath our feet suddenly burst open, and we screamed and fell downwards.
When my feet touched the ground again, my eyes fell into darkness, and I heard the voice of the warrior calling me anxiously: "Your Majesty," but it became weaker and weaker, and finally disappeared completely.
I keenly judged that the distance I had descended was not too long.
The ground under my feet was flat and smooth.
When my eyesight gradually adapted to the dark environment, I found that I was in a clean and regular stone room.
I didn't feel too much fear.
My previous trip to Qingshu Mountain had already prepared me.
Nothing weird or mysterious happens to me.
My fingers gently stroked the cold and smooth wall, and an indescribable feeling of loneliness filled my heart.
I was convinced that there was no exit from this stone room to the outside world.
I leaned against the wall tiredly, letting the wall feel a little colder.
Lowering my body temperature, I said silently in my heart: "Cai Xue, are you here?"
There was no wind in the room, and I smelled the breath of death again, if I could not get out of this stone room.
My dominance, my beloved wife, everything I own will be in vain.
Only now do I realize that no matter how hard I try, I have never been able to untie this knot in my heart.
Everything I experienced in Qingshu Mountain has been haunting me like a nightmare.
If I can't find the answer, I will never be truly happy in this life.
I felt a faint burning sensation in my body, and my heartbeat began to become more and more violent.
I subconsciously covered my heart with my right hand, but felt a burning sting.
I unbuttoned my clothes and saw the lip prints on my chest becoming darker in the darkness.
Extraordinarily clear and delicate, like a flower waiting to bloom.
Caixue must have given me some kind of guidance, and my strong fighting spirit returned to me.
I have encountered desperate situations more than once in my life, but I have never been knocked down by difficulties, and it will be the same this time.
I turned around and found that the light from the lip print seemed to be getting stronger and stronger.
I was really excited inside.
The lip print left by Caixue was indeed a guide for me.
She could not forget me, just as I could never forget her forever.
She forgot something.
I knocked lightly on the wall, and there was a hollow sound.
It was obvious that the wall was not solid.
I gathered all my strength and punched the wall suddenly.
The wall in front of me was punched through, revealing a hole about a foot square, and fresh cold wind blew inward from the hole.
I punched a few more times to expand the hole until it could accommodate my body.
The scene in front of me made me almost unable to believe my eyes.
A vast crescent lake appeared in front of me.
A bright moon hung high in the sky.
There was fine red sand under my feet.
The cool night breeze was refreshing me.
I opened my eyes wide.
He closed his eyes and took a step forward hesitantly.
The fine sand under his feet was real and soft.
Everything was not an illusion.
I turned around in surprise, but I couldn’t see any building behind me.
Where did I come from and where did I come here?
With confusion in my heart, I stepped on the fine red sand and walked towards the lakeside.

A white boat was moored quietly on the shore.
An old man quietly held the oar, sat with his back to me, and said in a hoarse voice: "Since we have no chance to meet each other, there is no need to meet."
I immediately recognized from the voice that this old man was Qu Zhaoxuan, whom I met when crossing the river at Sanjiangkou.
I said respectfully: "Senior, I want to be younger."
Qu Zhaoxuan made a gesture, interrupted my question, and said coldly: "I have long known your purpose of coming.
I stayed here just to help you meet her."
He slowly turned his head, his cold eyes showing an extremely cold light: "You don't know my ship, how dare you get on it?"
I smiled lightly and boarded the boat without fear.
Qu Zhaoxuan took up the wooden oar, slowly swung the boat away from the lake shore, and said softly: "The smoke has traveled eighty thousand miles, and tomorrow there will be no spring in the world."
I didn't know the true meaning of his words, so I raised my eyes and looked into the distance.
There is a misty mist lingering on the lake, like wisps of light gauze.
The lake is calm and the boat glides smoothly and freely on the lake.
I whispered: "Senior, what exactly is this place?"
Qu Zhaoxuan still had that cold expression on his face: "I have long forgotten my age and my origins.
There is nothing in this world worthy of my concern."
I smiled and said, "Every word of the senior seems to contain a hidden mystery.
It's a pity that Yinkong is ignorant and unable to understand the true meaning."
Qu Zhaoxuan stared at me and said: "You are not stupid, but you are too smart.
Smart people often get into too much trouble.
There is no end to the sea of suffering.
Why don't you understand this simple and obvious truth now?"
I sighed and said, "If I don't understand what happened, I'm afraid I will drown in the sea of misery for the rest of my life and never be able to return to the shore."
Qu Zhaoxuan said: "Injustice, injustice, the consequences of what you have sown will naturally be borne by you.
This is what I have said.
Whether it is a blessing or a curse, you can weigh it yourself."
Amid the smoke ahead, a lush island appeared.
In front of the wharf made of white jade, a tall and graceful young man stood with a smile.
The moonlight shrouded his body, adding a sense of otherworldly mystery to him.
This man was Yuan Tianchi.
There is a dark village in my heart.
Cao Rui's words on that day in Qingshu Mountain already revealed that he would disappear from now on.
Caixue also said goodbye to me on the top of the mountain, but I don't know what happened.
They suddenly stayed again, and I was confused.
I couldn't help but feel extremely happy.
Since the four elders of the Demon Sect have not left, maybe Caixue will still stay in the world.
In other words, she and I still have a chance to get along.
Yuan Tianchi smiled and said: "Long Yingkong is Long Yingkong after all.
As long as you want to do something, no one can stop you."
I stared at this mysterious man in front of me, and to this day I still can't tell whether he is my friend or my enemy.
Yuan Tianchi made an invitation to me.
I stepped out of the boat and slowly came to Yuan Tianchi: "What Yin Kong wants to do, he can't hide it from Yuan Tianchi."
Yuan Tianchi burst out laughing.
He turned around and walked towards the island.
I walked up quickly and walked side by side with him.
I don’t hide my true thoughts: “Is Caixue here?”

"You still haven't forgotten her in your heart" I nodded, not only did I forget Cai Xue, but also Xuan Ying.
Yuan Tianchi said meaningfully: "I always thought that in your mind, the most important thing is the country, the country, the country, but now it seems that maybe I was wrong."
Under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, celadon wine sets have been placed on the bluestone table.
The night breeze blows gently and the aroma is overflowing.
Yuan Tianchi smiled and said: "In front of the flowers and under the moon, it is a beautiful thing for you and me to have a drink and talk."
I smiled calmly and said, "If I could choose, I would rather have a drink here with a beautiful woman."
Yuan Tianchi nodded and sat down opposite me: "Do you know why we are still detained here?"
I had already guessed in my heart that they must have encountered unexpected troubles, but I didn't say it out loud.
I smiled and said, "Brother Yuan is not willing to leave because he misses our friendship."
Yuan Tianchi raised his glass and said, "You are really good at joking.
To be honest, the reason why we haven't left yet is because we encountered some troubles."
"Is there anything I can do to help you?"
Yuan Tianchi said: "I need a lot of coal, and this matter must be within your ability."
I stared into Yuan Tianchi's longing eyes.
I understand in my heart that now the largest mineral deposit in the world is in my hands.
It seems that the amount of coal Yuan Tianchi needs is quite staggering, and collecting it from here obviously meets his needs.
Yuan Tianchi saw that I had no reaction and whispered: "We are not asking you for nothing.
As you can see, that dome made of pure gold will be our reward for you."
He He touched the wine glass in front of me, as if he wanted to quickly conclude this seemingly reasonable deal with me.
But I gently moved the wine glass away, because I had learned from the past, and naturally I dared to drink the wine from them.
Yuan Tianchi was a little surprised and said: "Do you agree that these golds can't satisfy you?"
I shook my head and said: "For you, coal is your urgent need now.
In your heart, coal cannot be measured by value, but in my heart, no matter how much gold there is, it can also be measured by value.
This transaction is not fair to me." ” Yuan Tianchi's eyes flashed.
He immediately understood what I really wanted: "Please forgive Yuan for being so foolish, but please let Brother Long speak clearly."
I stared into his eyes coldly.
He said word by word: "I want to see Caixue, agree to this condition, and I will allocate all the coal from all over the world here."
Yuan Tianchi nodded slowly, put the wine glass in his hand on the table, and whispered: "She is not here."
I burst out laughing, and the laughter stopped for a long time.
I leaned closer to Yuan Tianchi and lowered my voice: "If I can't see Caixue, there will never be any deal between us."
Yuan Tianchi's expression changed, and then he said: "Brother Long is in trouble at the moment.
If we want to do harm to you, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to escape unscathed."
I sneered: "If I heard correctly, you are threatening me."
Yuan Tianchi calmly said: "Dare" I stared at Yuan Tianchi and said: "I don't care what you want coal for.
I only know that returning to your hometown is more important to you than anything else.
To me, collecting snow is the most important.
You have no choice."
Since then, I have been passively beaten in front of Yuan Tianchi and his gang, but today I suddenly discovered that they also have weaknesses.
It was not invincible, the initiative of the matter fell into my hands for the first time, and I seemed to see the hope of meeting Caixue.
I must seize this opportunity to force them to give in to me.
Yuan Tianchi sneered: "Long Yinkong, I didn't realize until today that you are not as smart as I thought."
I smiled and said: "Perhaps for people like Brother Yuan, there is no need to use too clever methods."
There was a hint of cold murderous intention in Yuan Tianchi's eyes: "If I kill you, the Central Plains will fall into chaos again.
The coal I need can be traded from other people."
I said calmly: "You may have the ability, but I'm afraid you don't have the courage."

"Why don't I dare?"
I stood up with my hands behind my hands, looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and took a deep breath of the alluring fragrance of flowers: "Whatever I think of Caixue in my heart, Caixue will do to me.
If you hurt me, I'm afraid Caixue will never hurt you."
Take you away"
Yuan Tianchi's face has completely lost all color.
I have completely torn off his disguise as a strong man.
He no longer has any advantage in front of me.
I turned around and smiled: "Brother Yuan, have you thought about it?"
A clear voice in the distance replied: "I promise you."
I don't know when Cao Rui appeared behind me, his expression as calm as ever.
He must have heard everything I just said, but there was no change in sadness or joy on his face.
"Follow me" Cao Rui turned and walked towards the center of the island.
I was surprised and happy.
He was the key figure in all events.
I didn’t know that his appearance would make everything turn around.
"I thought you had already left," I said to Cao Rui, trying my best to suppress my excitement.
"If we can leave, why should we stay here?"
Cao Rui's words showed a little loneliness.
The more he gets into trouble, the more happy I feel.
This is great news to me.
Their fate is completely in my hands.
Even if I see Caixue, I will not fulfill my promise. , I am not stupid enough to send my lover away with my own hands.
"Remember Xuan Ying?"
When my heart was filled with the figure of Caixue, Cao Rui suddenly mentioned Xuan Ying.
I nodded.
Cao Rui's voice became a little heavy: "She is sick.
I could tell from Cao Rui's tone that this was not as optimistic as I thought.
"How is she?"
A white stone house appeared in front of him.
It appeared so suddenly, standing before my eyes like a ghost in the dark night.
I even suspected that it was an illusion created by Cao Rui.
He could make me think that Haiying and Huan Xiaozhuo jumped from a high cliff that day in Qingshu Mountain, and he can also create the illusion that Xuanying is seriously ill today.
His real purpose was to disturb my mind and shake my original firm stance.
Cao Rui whispered: "I wanted to wash away all your memories, but I didn't expect Caixue to be there after all."
I completely understood what he meant.
Cao Rui sighed and said, "Actually, forgetting is much happier than remembering."
I carefully opened the door and saw Xuan Ying lying there quietly on the white jade bed, looking haggard and looking like she was seriously ill.
I quickly came to her, held her catkins in my hands and said tremblingly: "Xuan Ying" Xuan Ying smiled lightly and said: "I thought you found me after all.
I felt sour in my heart, and tears immediately moistened my eyes.
He said softly: "You don't have to be afraid, I'm by your side.
Everything can be solved."
Xuan Ying sighed quietly and said: "Now I finally understand the meaning of fate.
The more I want to leave this land as soon as possible, but I can't leave."
I said sadly in my heart: "In your heart, there really is nothing worthy of your nostalgia in this land."
Xuan Ying breathed lightly for a moment and then said: "The elder actually has another reason for asking you to come to see me."
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
I had vaguely guessed Cao Rui's purpose just now.
Now that I saw Xuan Ying's appearance, I already understood at least seventy-eight points in my heart.
Could it be that Xuan Ying's condition was serious?
If you continue to stay on this land, there is no chance of survival.
Xuan Ying said softly: "If I can see you again, I will die in peace."
Her image suddenly disappeared in front of me.
I was still standing on the empty grass, Cao Rui watching me calmly.
My expression still hasn't recovered from the worry and shock.
"Everything you see is true," Cao Rui said coldly.
I shook my head vigorously, I couldn't believe what just happened.
The reason why Cao Rui created this series of illusions was to disturb my mind.
Cao Rui said: "I thought I could leave here smoothly, but I didn't expect something went wrong along the way.
Xuan Ying was hurt because of this, and she doesn't have long to live.
If you don't help me, she will die soon."
This land.”
I suddenly thought, if Xuan Ying leaves me, what is the difference between her death and me?
Cao Rui's eyes flickered and said: "You don't believe me."
I nodded.
Cao Rui said: "Cross the small bridge in front and keep walking forward, you will get the answer you deserve."
Scattered snowflakes suddenly floated in the sky, and the surrounding green grass and trees instantly turned yellow.
The snowflakes soon covered the grass, and the whole world became silvery and pure.
I saw the small bridge in the distance, which looked particularly hazy in the wind and snow.
With every step I took, the image became clearer and clearer in front of my eyes.
There was a lotus lantern floating above the small bridge.
Only when I arrived in front of the bridge did I realize that The seven characters of "Sorrow, Contemplation, Li Sao" were clearly written on the lotus lantern.
The past events many years ago suddenly came to mind.
It was this lantern riddle that opened a legendary page in my life.
At the top of the small bridge, there is a snow-wind pavilion carved from ice and snow.
On the pillars on both sides of the small pavilion, there are carved couplets.
The left couplet is the mist of the Five Hundred Miles Tianchi Lake, rushing towards the eyes.
The shore is draped with lapels, and the joy is vast and boundless.
Look: the divine horse is flying in the east, and the spiritual instrument is in the west; it is winding in the north; it is flying in the south.
A master of arts and crafts, why not choose to win and ascend.
Taking advantage of Xieyu Luozhou, combing the wind and mist on the temples.
More frequently, the sky and reeds are dotted with green feathers and red clouds.
Don’t live up to this: surrounded by fragrant rice, vast hectares of clear sand; nine-summer hibiscus; three-spring willows The right couplet is about thousands of years of past events, which are brought to my heart.
Drinking wine, sighing where the hero is.
Think about it: the Han Dynasty practiced building boats, and the Tang Dynasty marked iron pillars; the Song Dynasty wielded jade axes; the Yuan Dynasty crossed leather bags.
Great achievements, great efforts, and great efforts to move mountains.
The bead curtains and painted buildings are not as large as the evening rain and morning clouds.
Then the ruins of the stele were broken, and they were all illuminated by the mist.
I only win: a few pestles and sparse clocks, half a river of fishing fire, two rows of wild geese, and a pillow of clear frost.
I couldn't help but burst into tears because of the scene.
I have kept this couplet in my heart all the time, but today I have just appreciated the real taste of it.
In the snowy wilderness, the beautiful woman was wearing white clothes and holding a red paper umbrella, slowly walking towards me.

Everything was like a dream.
If everything was a dream, I would rather never wake up.
The name Caixue that haunted me finally came to my mind, but I couldn't call it out.
Our eyes met for a long time, and we both saw the affection in each other's hearts.
The long-standing lovesickness turned into rolling tears.
I rushed over desperately and hugged Caixue's delicate body tightly.
The warmth and body fragrance were so real but so clear.
Everything in front of me was not a dream.
"I won't let you go" was my first sentence.
Caixue gently stroked my tearful face, and after a long time she said softly: "You have lost a lot of weight.
The caring greetings as usual opened the floodgates of my feelings again.
I have never shown such an uncontrollable expression." own vulnerability.
We sat down in the pavilion hand in hand.
Caixue said softly: "Mr.
Cao didn't lie to you.
Xuan Ying is seriously ill.
If he can't leave as soon as possible, he may not live long."
I sighed sadly: "Why do you have to let him leave?"
Caixue said with tears: "If I could choose, I would rather be the carefree Caixue of the past, serving the young master safely.
If there is wind and rain, the young master will hold up a sky for Caixue.
If there is danger, the young master will hold up the sky for Caixue." , the young master will save Caixue from the fire and water."
I held Caixue's slender hand tightly and said, "It was okay in the past, and it is still okay now.
As long as you have me in your heart, I will still treat you as usual."
Caixue bit her lower lip gently and said with red eyes: "Young master has not changed, but Caixue has changed.
The Caixue in front of you is no longer the Caixue of the past."
I yelled loudly: "You have never changed.
In my heart, you will always be Caixue when I first met you.
I single-handedly rescued you from Prince Qin's Mansion.
You once said that your life is mine, without me."
With my permission, you must never leave me."
I hugged Caixue roughly into my arms, feeling the trembling of her delicate body.
I clearly realized that her trembling was not because of fear, but because of the feeling in her heart.
Very touched.
After embracing each other for a long time, Caixue finally broke away from my embrace.
"If I ask you for that matter, will you agree?"
I shook my head decisively and said: "Not only will I agree, but as long as I have the chance, I will destroy all the coal mines in the Central Plains.
I will never let you leave me."
