"Xiao Lin, wait a minute, I'd better explain to you to prevent you from having problems."
The three of them were about to leave, but I suddenly stopped and prepared to return to Grandpa.
But grandpa had turned around, so I had to follow him. After walking a few steps with grandpa, grandpa stopped.
He turned around and faced me, stretched out his palm and said, "Xiao Lin, give me the map you are wearing."
Although I didn't know what he was going to do, I still handed the map of Kunlun Mountain I prepared this time to my grandfather.
After grandpa took the map, he unfolded it casually, spread it flat on the ground, and reached into his arms to touch it.
Soon, he took out a pen from his arms and drew a circle on the unfolded map.
I asked in confusion: "Grandpa, what are you doing?"
After I took the photo and looked at it, the spot marked by my grandfather on the photo was a bit eye-catching.
When I got closer to the map, I found that it was covered with many symbols. These symbols were all drawn by my grandfather and represented different meanings.
For example, a straight line with a drawn arrow on it represents the route I took previously.
The circle that grandpa is drawing now is located in the middle of the entire map, surrounded by circles of runes.
I was about to ask, but grandpa stretched out his hand and clicked on the circle and said, "Xiao Lin, this is where we are now."
"Grandpa, where is this?"
Grandpa saw what I was thinking and said sincerely: "I researched many of the symbols above based on the Tianxing Feng Shui diagram."
"This map points to some special places, which may be of some help to you on your trip."
Although I am very confused, why did grandpa say that it might help? Why didn't he go there himself if it helped?
"Xiao Lin, you must be careful when you go to Kunlun Mountain this time. This place may be more complicated than you think."
I was not frightened by my grandfather's words. I just nodded slightly but said nothing.
"Okay, you go.
Grandpa said as he put away the map and handed it to me, then turned and walked towards his house.
Lei Zi, Lone Wolf, I, the three of us didn't say anything, we just looked at each other and then walked forward.
When we were far away, I turned around and looked back and found that grandpa was still standing there.
At this time, Lei Zi asked me in a low voice: "Xiao Linzi, what did grandpa say?"
"I don't understand what grandpa means. He just circled a mark on the map for us."
"It seems that grandpa wants us to go there once. The location and geography are a little special, and the situation is unknown."
The three people who had gone away gradually disappeared, leaving only their backs. The old man standing in the distance was a little lonely.
"Xiao Lin, I hope it can remind you of the memories buried deep in your soul."
"Lord Dragon Emperor, once Xiao Lin can recall some of his memories, it will be a good thing for him."
"As for you, I believe it won't take many years before he can release you from Kunlun Xu."
After muttering to himself, the old man returned to his house alone and closed the door.
The three of us strolled and chatted, and then followed the road grandpa told us and returned to the road we came from.
Soon I found a road that looked like it had been walked before. After walking for a while, it started to get dark.
None of the three of us wanted to spend the night on the road, so we speeded up.
Fortunately, the road conditions were good, the visibility was okay, and the three of us were not walking too fast.
Lei Zi, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped. I felt a little strange, so I asked Lone Wolf to go over first to see what was going on.
After the lone wolf walked over, he quickly turned around and said, "There is a fork in the road ahead."
I also hurriedly walked over and looked at the fork in the road they were talking about. I didn't rush to choose, but stood there and observed.
This fork in the road is obvious. One road leads directly forward, while the other turns to one side.
On the map in my mind, Grandpa did not mark the fork in the road here, and the fork in the road was obvious.
Instead, he said to the two of them: "Let's wait here, don't be impatient."
Although the two were a little confused, they still followed my instructions, and the three of them stood there and waited.
This fork in the road looks relatively new, and it should have been opened recently.
This forked road extended deep into the forest, with no end in sight, but nothing happened after waiting for a long time.
"Leizi, Lone Wolf, where do you think this fork in the road leads?
I asked with some confusion, and both of them shook their heads to express that they were unclear.
"Xiao Linzi, why don't we go in and take a look?" Lei Zi whispered.
It seems like a very ordinary fork in the road, but I know that in Kunlun Mountains, every fork in the road is related to life and death.
Now the three of us are faced with a choice, whether we should take this fork in the road.
Lei Zi had already proposed, but I was still hesitant. Lei Zi saw that I didn't answer immediately.
I stopped urging him and just stood there watching and thinking.
I looked at the time and found that there were still more than two hours before dark, so it was not suitable to rush on the road at night.
He said to the two of them: "Now we don't have extra time to waste here, so we can only move forward."
"Although I don't know what this fork in the road represents, one thing is for sure, it is definitely not leading to our original planned route."
When Lei Zi heard what I said, he had no objection and said, "Then let's leave now."
Lone Wolf also agreed with my idea, so the three of us continued to move forward along this fork in the road.
Not long after we walked, we saw a huge valley at the end of this fork in the road.
The three of us continued to move forward along this forked road. After walking for a while, we found that this road was getting harder and harder to walk.
There are many stones on the entire road, as well as many small thorns and sharp weeds, making walking very difficult.
There is a small hill in the middle of the valley, and a dilapidated ancient building on the top of the hill, exuding an atmosphere of ancient vicissitudes.
There are still some broken walls around the hill, which look like they have experienced a total disaster.
A doubt arose in my mind, was this a group of ancient buildings that had been destroyed? Or was it deliberately built to confuse people?
The three of us looked at each other and felt a little hesitant. This place looked too old.
But it was completely dark at this time, so we could only spend the night in this ancient building.
We walked around the hill and found that only the main building was left of the building, the one on the top of the hill.
Other outbuildings are in such dilapidated condition that their original appearance is no longer visible.
I signaled Lei Zi and Lone Wolf to be careful and not to destroy these ruins.
The three of us carefully walked up to the top of the hill and arrived in front of the main building.
This is a temple-like building. Although it is dilapidated, its former glory can still be seen.
Lei Zi walked in front of me, stretched out his hand to push open the dilapidated door, and the three of us walked in.
There is nothing inside this building, just empty ground and some collapsed walls.
The three of them carefully walked around inside, and after confirming that there was no danger, they set up the tent in the corner.
The three of us didn't sleep well that night, firstly because of doubts, and secondly because this building was too cold.
I suddenly thought of a legend. According to legend, Kunlunxu is a place where gods live.
To practice as an immortal, you need some special environment, and the trees in this valley are so dense.
It shows that this is a very suitable place for cultivation, but there is one thing I don't quite understand.
Is that why there are so many rocks and thorns that impede progress?
These stones and thorn spikes are obviously man-made, and look at the ruins.
It is very likely that this place has been vandalized, if it was once the residence of a cultivator.
So why did they destroy this place? And who are they who destroyed this place?
