Hearing Sun Quan's words, Shi Zimiao was instantly happy.
"Did you find the entrance?!"
Sun Quan nodded.
So Shi Zimiao took Sun Quan and returned immediately without saying a word. Although she didn't need the fire seals, she had to light a fire at night when Shangguan Di was here. Therefore, there were some fire seals stored in a broken house next to the central square.
on the road,
"I brought some dry food, enough for us to eat for two to three days." Shi Zimiao said to Sun Quan.
Sun Quan shook his head and said directly,
"not enough."
Although Sun Quan firmly believed that there would be a way to make a living in the War Temple, he could not yet guarantee how much time would be spent before arriving at the War Temple. Apart from anything else, if he was less lucky, it might take Sun Quan three days to reach the nine gates, so he had to prepare more rations.
soon,
Sun Quan wrapped up all the remaining fire dumplings, and together with Shi Zimiao, each carried two large bags of water and food. As expected, these were enough for two people to survive for ten days.
After doing everything well, Sun Quan did not dare to delay too much and hurried towards the mechanism that opened the entrance. At the same time, he also used his important "Invulnerable" card. Although there is only one impeccable card in Sun Quan's spiritual world, in reality, it will be completely gone once it is used. But don’t worry, in the past half a year, Sun Quanke has accumulated two more “Creating Things out of Nothing”. Just like when he used “Plundering Things”, he could still use “Creating Things out of Nothing” to create a random card in the spiritual world. As long as the last one is used up, everything can be created out of nothing.
Come back here,
Sun Quan took Shi Zimiao and quickly traveled through Qimen Dunjia. Shi Zimiao, just like before, gradually discovered the relationship between Sun Quan's steps and the clues left by Zuo Ci.
"Why didn't you notice the Qimen Dunjia here before?" Shi Zimiao asked curiously.
This time, Sun Quan did not hesitate at all and replied directly,
"It has something to do with the stars. Only special stars can make the mechanisms here appear."
Shi Zimiao's heart moved.
"So, this special star phenomenon only appears once every thirty years?!"
"That's right." Sun Quan nodded.
"How long will this star phenomenon last before it ends?" Shi Zimiao asked quickly.
Sun Quan frowned slightly,
"If nothing else, it will last only about half an hour."
This is Sun Quan's judgment based on the illusion of thinking twice just now.
Shi Zimiao's expression changed and he exclaimed,
"So short!!"
Sun Quan nodded,
"Yes, so once we take this step, we won't be able to come out in a short time." Sun Quan paused and reminded Shi Zimiao, "Do you want to leave some clues now?"
Shi Zimiao shook his head,
"No need. I have already arranged what should be arranged."
soon,
The two traveled through Qimen Dunjia,
"Help me."
This time, Sun Quan did not ask for trouble and directly ordered Shi Zimiao to act according to his instructions. Shi Zimiao is not the kind of person who relies on her status. She will do whatever Sun Quan says. In addition, she is not good at these things, so naturally she will not question what Sun Quan does.
Finally, eight pieces of ground sank one after another, forming a strange pattern. At the same time, there was a rumble in the distance.
"The entrance is open!" Shi Zimiao showed joy.
"Hurry up." Sun Quan reminded, if the entrance to the Temple of War is really closed according to the astrology, then its duration is not calculated according to the opening time. For example, it was originally closed at five o'clock, but it will be closed now. It closes at five o'clock, rather than counting down one hour from the time it opens.
Now it was different from the last time in the illusion. It took some time to prepare the fire dumplings and food. Out of caution, Sun Quan hoped to enter the entrance as soon as possible.
The two of them quickly rushed towards the entrance. On the way, Shi Zimiao suddenly spoke,
"Thank you. I will always remember this kindness."
Sun Quan knew what Shi Zimiao was talking about. Without his help, Shi Zimiao would not have been able to enter the Temple of War, nor would she be able to pursue the way of heaven she had always longed for. Sun Quan could have pretended not to know anything and just sit back and watch Shi Zimiao miss this once-in-30-year opportunity! But Sun Quan didn't do that.
This kindness and virtue are no less than the kindness of teaching. If Shi Zimiao can finally take that ultimate step, Sun Quan will be her guide on the way to ascension.
"No need to thank me. You just need to remember our original agreement." Sun Quan replied calmly.
Shi Zimiao's heart moved, and he remembered Sun Quan's murmur at the beginning - 'Ten years. . . Thirty years. . . Still, less than ten years. . . '
"Are you so anxious to get out?" Shi Zimiao asked.
Obviously, Sun Quan made a choice about the time it took for him to cultivate his Taoism and regain his freedom. On the one hand, it was ten years of peace and stability, but on the other hand, he was gambling for thirty years to seek a breakthrough in a shorter time. What on earth made Sun Quan make such a crazy decision? He's obviously still so young, isn't he?
Sun Quan looked into the distance with a melancholy look on his face.
"Ten years is still too long. From a certain perspective, it is no different from thirty years."
No one has ever known what kind of pressure Sun Quan, a little child, was under. When the Sun family was at its peak, Sun Quan was on guard against changes. After Sun Jian disappeared, it was even more impossible for Sun Quan to watch his eldest brother "go down the same old path"! In history, Sun Ce was killed by assassins in 200, and Sun Quan regained his freedom ten years later in 203! By then, everything will be cold, and even the Sun family may be destroyed. What is the difference between Sun Quan going out at that time and going out thirty years later? !
Therefore, Sun Quan finally made the decision just now. Even if he takes the risk of being trapped for thirty years, he must take a gamble and bet that he can graduate from school before 200 AD!
The two came to the entrance and looked at the nine deep holes on the ground. Shi Zimiao was stunned and asked subconsciously,
"which one?"
Sun Quan did not hesitate and pointed directly at the one they had chosen in the illusion.
"Follow me and be careful."
"kindness."
Seeing that Sun Quan was so determined, Shi Zimiao did not hesitate at all and jumped down with Sun Quan.
Falling, unable to see his fingers, falling into the giant net,
Everything is business as usual,
Shi Zimiao was smart and Sun Quan was familiar with the road. The two quickly jumped off the net and stepped on the ground.
"There is a lot of space here, there should be no danger." Shi Zimiao said simply.
Sun Quan nodded, opened the fire seal in his bag, and lit it.
So, for the first time, Sun Quan was fortunate to be able to see the underground scenery.
big! Although I had expected it for a long time, it was only when I actually saw Sun Quan that I realized that this place was even bigger than I imagined! Above the two people's heads is a very elastic giant net. The four corners of the giant net are each led by a long rope to the edge of the square space. There are three portals on each of the three walls. Each portal is so deep that even if the light shines on it, you can't see what's inside. On the remaining wall, there was a huge circular mural in the middle. As expected, it was a star map.
"This is......"
Shi Zimiao's exclamation sounded in his ears. Sun Quan turned his head and found that Shi Zimiao's eyes had opened at some point, and he was staring motionlessly at the huge star map in the distance.
“So beautiful~~”
