The distance of eight hundred miles is only one night for the three people to travel. It is estimated that it is already midnight, but the surrounding night is still thick.
Here, only when the time comes, the weak sunlight will shed a trace in the dense forest, and then quickly fall below the horizon. It's like someone who got up after a long nap, stretched out and went back to sleep.
In the dark space underground, Qingya didn't know how much time had passed outside. I just remember that when I followed the Tana Shushu clan into the mountains, the sun was still above people's heads. It seemed that more than a month had passed since then.
In the blink of an eye, it has been a long time since I left Chang'an. I don't know where Li Jinyan, who followed the Young Palace Master of Yingxue Palace, has gone. I don't know if Tana Shushu has successfully arrived in Chang'an. What happened here? , then go back quickly.
We must solve the trouble in Chang'an before New Year's Eve and then return to Yaoguang Peak. I haven't seen the master for more than half a year, and I don't know if she is doing well on the mountain alone.
Suddenly, Qingya heard the sound of running water. The sound of running water was particularly obvious on this land with only frozen soil. Through the thick woods, a river several feet wide lay in front of the three of them.
Even in such a cold weather, the rushing water in the river has never frozen. Only pieces of ice are constantly flying in the water, rising and falling. There are still white smoke rising above the river surface, but there is no swimming in the clear water bottom. Fish, you can guess how cold the river water must be at this time without even trying.
Fortunately, their destination was not on the other side of the glacier.
All the way down the ice-capped river, the number of trees gradually decreased, while the noise of the rolling waves in the river grew louder and louder.
There were even many icebergs lifted up by the waves, jumping out of the water and falling on the shore. Qingya walked over curiously, picked it up and looked at it carefully, but saw that the bubbles in the water were frozen at the moment. Some of the bubbles burst when they were frozen, and the blooming shapes were like huge snowflakes carved in the ice. Same as in the block.
Qingya couldn't help but wonder why the temperature that could instantly freeze the bubbles in the water could not freeze the river?
Putting down the doubts in his heart for the time being, Qingya threw the ice cube into the river again and kept up with the pace of the two people in front of him.
Just as Di Xi said, at the end of the river, a high mountain blocked the three people's eyes. The glacial water stopped abruptly here, as if it had stopped flowing, and it was unknown where it flowed.
The high mountain standing in front of them reminded Qingya of the time when he broke into Hua Qing'er's fantasy world, when he crossed the boundless wasteland and came to the cliff before the snowfield. The same steepness, the same smoothness.
Looking up, on the mountainside, on a cliff, there is a small cave hidden under the dark rock formations. If I hadn't been reminded before, it would have been difficult to find at first glance.
At such a height, ordinary monks with swords could reach it. The three of them easily arrived in front of the cave, lined up in a row, and walked in at once.
The narrow cave can only accommodate one person walking sideways through. Qiu Chiyu walked in the front, while Qingya was responsible for blocking the rear.
For some unknown reason, Qiu Chiyu and Hua Qing'er's steps seemed a bit slow, as if their bodies were stuck in a rock crevice. However, when Qingya passed by, it was extremely smooth and there was no obstruction at all.
"Seeing as you usually eat, drink, and don't practice regularly, you must have gained weight now. You can't even fit through such a wide gap."
Unexpectedly, after saying these words, Qingya was immediately turned back to look down upon with contempt by both of them.
"You are a big man, but your back hurts when you stand and talk. What do you know at such a young age?"
"That's right, I'm not fat."
Although she didn't know where she said something wrong, Qingya knew what she should do now, which was to keep her mouth shut and accept their criticism honestly.
After walking forward for about an incense stick, the originally narrow rock crevice gradually opened up, and a glimmer of light appeared in front of us. This tunnel would soon come to an end.
Facing the bright light, the three of them finally reached the exit of the cave. Looking around, they saw that this was no longer a mountainside suspended in mid-air. A road paved with solid blue bricks stretched forward.
On both sides of the road, patches of fertile land were neatly divided, filling the vast land in an orderly manner.
The vegetables in the green vegetable bed are round and plump, just waiting for the farm girl to come and pick them. The heavy rice in the golden rice fields is bending down, and another year's harvest is just around the corner.
Not only that, there are also rows of peach and plum fruit trees with colorful fallen flowers, covering the ground with bright colors, bees and colorful butterflies are constantly flying, and the fragrance of flowers is overflowing. Walking in the wilderness, if you are not careful, you will step on a large, round, dark green watermelon. With just a light touch of your toes, the watermelon will split open on its own, revealing the crispy and red flesh inside.
It is a cold winter outside, but here, there are flowers in spring, melons in summer, and fruits in autumn, but there is no snow in winter.
In the Taiyuan period of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Wuling native who made a living by fishing accidentally broke into this paradise?
Walking further, the houses are like row upon row, and small ponds are scattered at random. The ponds are very shallow, and a few carps are swaying carefree in the water. Beside the pond, several children want to fish for the fish in the water. Before they even got close to the swimming fish, their parents found them and took them home.
Most of the people here still retain the clothing styles of the Qin and Han Dynasties. The villagers coming and going were not surprised when they saw outsiders passing by. They just smiled and nodded to the three of them, and Qingya also smiled in return.
Sheltered from the wind and rain alone, living outside the world, it is a peaceful and contented scene.
"I never thought that there is such a dreamy place in the forest, sea and snowy fields. If we fail to find immortals in the future and time is running out, we will move here. Like the villagers here, you go I will plow the fields and weave, raise some cats and dogs for companionship, and spend the rest of my days in a normal way, Qingya, do you think so?"
Touched by the scene, Hua Qing'er has already begun to dream about the last days of her life.
"No, our end point will not be here. We will follow the ancient fairy road to a world that no one has ever set foot on. There will be no end to your and my life. I will always be with you until the end of time. , I won’t let you die either.”
Qingya held Hua Qing'er's right hand and said firmly.
"I don't have such big ideals. Anyway, I will go wherever you go. If you want to find immortals, I will accompany you all over the world. If you get tired of it, I can also wear Qingchai's cloth skirt."
Hua Qing'er lowered her head and answered softly with a blushing face.
"Hey, don't you feel embarrassed when you say these words? I almost have goosebumps all over the floor, but you don't feel anything at all."
Qiu Chiyu has no emotions, and she cannot understand the thoughts. She only feels that if she is asked to say these words, it may be easier to break through to the final stage of Canglong Qifeng.
Hua Qing'er, who was blushing, also took advantage of the situation and changed the topic.
"Is this the place where the Mohists lived in seclusion in the past? Do you think they can really recreate the glory of Mozi by studying the art of mechanism for generations?"
In fact, the answer to this question is already in front of you.
Nearly 1,500 years have passed from the pre-Qin Dynasty to today. Even if the current Mo family can reach half the level of their ancestors in organ skills, the production level of this society and the military strength of the dynasty will be several times what they are now.
Obviously, even if they make a breakthrough in mechanism technology, they are still in the experimental stage and cannot yet achieve mass production. You know, back then Mozi had the power to equip the entire country's army with one person.
Nowadays, the spiritual energy in the world is declining, and the immortal road above the head is nowhere to be found. Those immortals and gods seem to have abandoned this world and have not been seen for thousands of years.
The monks in the human world can only touch the threshold of the first level of catastrophe even though they spend their whole lives. I'm afraid that in the future, Mozi's demeanor will only become more and more distant, until people in later generations no longer want to believe that their ancestors have such power, and will classify it as an ancient legend.
Only then will the dream that the Mo family has worked for for generations will shatter like a dream, and the Mo family, who have been addicted to it for thousands of years, will wake up.
Now, no one will tell this matter, even if they already know it in their hearts. Let them continue to immerse themselves in an ideal country, just like this paradise. Although it is out of place in dreams, it can still accommodate this group of romantic idealists.
But now, there is an issue that has to be considered before Qingya. The Qiongqi Core in his hand was released to destroy the monks in Chang'an City, because the people behind the scenes miscalculated the strength of everyone. , only then did Qingya get the core.
Earlier, the Xiangliu giant beast hidden in the void had been coming to Chang'an City for seven consecutive years to absorb people's mutual admiration. None of the above was something that a famous family could do.
If the core technology of this piece really comes from the Mo family here, does it mean that after more than a thousand years of surrender, the Mo family finally turned against them and secretly carried out their own conspiracy behind the emperor's back? What about Daye?
If this is really the case, then the three of them have fallen into the tiger's mouth, but they don't know whether the teeth of the tiger entrenched here are sharp enough to bite through a layer of their own skin.
But if they hadn't done it, where in the vast world would he have gone with this illusory clue?
At the moment, Qingya can only pray that in this Mo family, they can give them the answers they want.
The slanting light lengthened the shadows of the three of them, and cast an orange-red halo on them. The tall palace in the distance was like a huge black box, waiting for their arrival.
