She got off the carriage with a smile and got on his horse. Ji Yannuo raised a smile at the corner of his mouth, raised his horsewhip, and left.
Everyone finally arrived at Qingyi City in the morning.
"Why is the gate of Qingyi City closed in broad daylight?"
King Chu pointed forward and said, "What's going on?"
Qingling poked his head out of the car window and said with a solemn expression: "I am afraid that all the people in the city have rushed to the Holy Mountain. For the sake of safety, the remaining people have closed the city gate."
This was mentioned before when I heard Grandma Qingyi talk about the past of the Holy Mountain.
"Then how are we going to get in now?" King Chu jumped off his horse and asked.
"Try using the pass order given to us by the Lord of Qingyi City." Ji Yannuo thought for a moment and said.
When everyone arrived at the city gate, Eunuch Xu went to the city gate with the passage order.
Sure enough, when the guards guarding the city saw that there was a movement order, they let them into the city.
After everyone entered Qingyi City, they saw not even a single pedestrian in the previously bustling market.
They finally found an open inn, and the innkeeper was a little surprised to see everyone coming in.
"The Holy Mountain will descend at midnight today, and all the tribesmen will follow the patriarch to the Holy Mountain."
The old man took them to the guest room and said, "My leg is lame, otherwise I would have followed the people to the Holy Mountain."
"Now our Qingyi tribe will finally have a saint!" He said with emotion, "Since the death of Saint Qinglan thirty years ago, there has been no saint chosen."
Everyone listened to the lame old man say a lot more, and then returned to their guest rooms one after another.
Entering the guest room, Ye Fuxun grabbed Qing Ling and asked, "Ling'er, did Grandma Qingyi tell you what the shopkeeper just said?"
Qing Ling shook her head and said: "My great-grandmother only asked Ling'er to come back as soon as possible."
Ye Fuxun nodded slightly, his eyes moving slightly.
"Ling'er," Ye Fuxun asked, "under what circumstances does the Holy Mountain usually come?"
"There are three conditions required for the coming of the Holy Mountain." Qing Ling said, "Holy Mountain Stone, Holy Cloth and Holy Key."
"There is a sacred mountain stone in our clan. Only the clan leader has the right to activate the sacred mountain stone."
Once the Holy Mountain Stone is activated, it means that the Holy Mountain has received an invitation to come.
"Within one month after activating the Holy Mountain Stone, the Holy Mountain will respond."
Qing Ling talked eloquently, "After receiving the response from the Holy Mountain, the Saint can wear holy clothes and worship the Holy Mountain stone, and then she can sense the location where the Holy Mountain is about to descend."
"After learning the location of the Holy Mountain, the clan leader will lead the tribe to find the Holy Mountain."
Ye Fuxun discovered the problem: "Ling'er, you said that the saint can sense the location of the holy mountain only after she puts on the holy robe and worships the holy mountain stone..."
If she remembered correctly, Aunt Qingyi said that Lou Tu wanted to make his daughter Lou Ting a saint, but Aunt Qingyi also said that Lou Ting was not a saint at all.
"The Holy Mountain has not yet chosen a saint, so how do you know who the saint is? If you are not a saint, can you sense the location of the Holy Mountain?"
I feel like there is something wrong with the logic in the middle.
Qing Ling was stunned: "My great-grandmother never said anything about this. She told Ling'er that the saint must be passed down through blood, so when Ling'er's grandmother succeeded the saint, everything went smoothly."
Ye Fuxun buried his doubts in his heart and continued to ask: "What about after finding the holy mountain?"
"After finding the Holy Mountain, use the Holy Key to open the Holy Mountain Realm in the middle of the night," Qing Ling responded. "You can lead the people into the Holy Mountain Realm and select the Saint Girl from the Holy Mountain."
"Then the shopkeeper said just now that there was something wrong with the Holy Key," Ye Fuxun thought about it, "Do you know what the problem is?"
Qing Ling shook her head: "Ling'er doesn't know."
But the next moment, she said to Ye Fulun, "Aunt, Ling'er wants to go back. My great-grandmother might leave some news."
"I'll go back with you." Ye Fuxun and Qing Ling quietly left from the back door of the inn and went to Jiazi No. 1, Qingyi Street.
Qingyi City was like an empty city, and no one noticed their arrival at all.
The two of them entered the Jiazi ship smoothly, Qing Ling quickly ran into the inner room, and Ye Fuxun was waiting outside.
About half an hour later, Qing Ling came out holding a purple wooden box: "Aunt, my great-grandmother left a message for Ling'er."
"The first time the Holy Mountain came, it was my great-grandmother who summoned me, not Lou Ting."
Qing Ling still couldn't hide her shock, "My great-grandmother said that the holy key has a spirit and returned to my great-grandmother when she died. However, the holy key in the patriarch's hand is a fake left by my great-grandmother."
"Because the holy key in the patriarch's hand is fake, so the first time the holy mountain comes, the holy key cannot open the realm of the holy mountain?" Ye Fuxun suddenly realized.
"That's right." Qing Ling nodded vigorously, "My great-grandmother also said that Lou Ting is definitely not a saint. Because even though she wore holy clothes and worshiped the holy mountain stone, she still did not get the guidance of the holy mountain's location."
"At that time, Lou Ting was crying and told the old patriarch about this, and her great-grandmother heard her."
When Lou Tu learned that Lou Ting had not received the call from the Holy Mountain, he originally wanted to suppress the matter and not publicize it, so he postponed the matter of electing a saint from the Holy Mountain until further discussion.
Qing Ling clenched her fists: "My great-grandmother said that she used magic to entrust Lou Ting with dreams and informed her of the location of the Holy Mountain. Therefore, the patriarch believed that Lou Ting must be a saint, so he happily led the tribe to search for the Holy Mountain. The result was natural.
it goes without saying."
"Why did Aunt Tsing Yi do this?" Ye Fuxun's many confusions in his mind were solved, but he still could not understand Aunt Tsing Yi's true intention.
"My great-grandmother said she wanted to get back into the eyes of her people."
Qing Ling's eyes suddenly turned red, and she lowered her head and said, "Since the Jiazi was destroyed, the old patriarch deliberately made the people forget the existence of my great-grandmother."
Aunt Qingyi didn't care about this in order to take care of Qingling.
"Decades have passed, and the clan members have changed one generation after another. Who can still remember the great-grandmother who worked so hard for the Tsing Yi clan?"
Qing Ling wiped the corners of her eyes with her hands, "My great-grandmother said that Ling'er must become the new saint. If she returns to the Qingyi tribe and wins the recognition of the tribe, Ling'er's chances of being chosen as the saint will increase."
"My great-grandmother did it all for Ling'er." Qing Ling threw herself into Ye Fuxun's arms, "Although she didn't say it, she will definitely be hit hard if she resists the wrath of the Holy Mountain."
"Auntie, Ling'er has to rush to the Holy Mountain, and we can't let my great-grandmother's efforts go to waste."
The two returned to the inn and informed everyone of the situation.
"Tonight at midnight is the time for the Holy Mountain to choose a saint," Ye Fuxun looked at the crowd and said, "It's not early, we have to set off to find the Holy Mountain as soon as possible."
"But the city gate is closed. If we leave the city now, will it attract attention?" King Qin's voice was clear.
Qing Ling raised her hand: "Ling'er knows a secret passage out of the city, but only one person can pass through the secret passage. I'm afraid it won't be convenient for us to take our carriage and luggage with us."
