Yishan is located in the central area of China. Ancient books once asserted that Yishan is the place where the entire Chinese civilization originated.
The location of Mingyang Mausoleum is not as simple as being surrounded by mountains and rivers. The location of the mausoleum faces the east and is surrounded by a total of 286 rivers with abundant water flow.
Countless spiritual beings from ancient times to the present have entered Yishan in an attempt to open the tomb, but they all died in the formation.
Although I don’t know who spread the news that Mingyang Mausoleum is about to open this time, the more people come, the greater the chance that they will get close to the mausoleum.
Because these people who entered Yishan were running all over the mountains and plains, it helped to dissipate the intricate formations to a certain extent.
It helps those who have the ability to move forward and clears obstacles.
The group of people just continued walking along the path that Shen Kuo had scouted in advance. The closer they got to the mausoleum, the more Mu Qian felt the spiritual energy in his body begin to stir.
She didn't know why, but the closer she got, the more familiar she felt.
"Are you scared?" Fu Hong noticed something was wrong with her expression and comforted her with a smile, "Don't be scared, aren't we here?"
Although she has strong spiritual power, she is still a young girl after all. After all, they are going to open a tomb.
It's normal to be scared when walking in the mountains in the middle of the night.
"Have you ever been in front of the mausoleum before?" Mu Qian asked.
Fu Hong shook his head and said with a smile, "If you can just go to the tomb gate casually, how can this Mingyang Tomb be held so high?"
He and Mr. Kuo spent more than a month in the mountains and visited countless places before carefully drawing this map.
She thought it was easy.
"No, I feel like I'm getting more and more familiar the longer I walk." Mu Qian moved her hand to the side and involuntarily grabbed Chi Si's wrist.
"Have you been here?" Chi Si looked at her and asked.
Mu Qian shook her head. She was sure that she had never set foot in Yishan in all her years in this world.
Why is it that the more she walks forward, the more she feels like someone is calling her.
"Follow me and don't get lost." Chi Si looked down at her.
Mu Qian always felt that something was not right. To be on the safe side, she could only stay with Chi Si.
"The front is full of miasma, wait for me to pick the detoxifying grass."
As Shen Kuo's words fell, their progress stopped.
Generally, in places with miasma, the plants and animals that can grow nearby are more or less equipped with some antibodies. As long as you look for plants growing lushly along the edge of the miasma, you can detoxify them.
Before Shen Kuo could go far, Mu Qian saw the intruder struggling and falling to the ground in the woods through the moonlight.
"Need help?" Mu Qian said and followed Shen Kuo's footsteps.
Chi Si looked at her retreating back, the corners of his mouth raised unconsciously.
"Do you need to follow me, Miss?"
"Do you think she is really scared?" Chi Si chuckled.
Eight hundred eyes were on her body. Although she kept saying that she was afraid along the way, only Chi Si knew that she was trying to eat a pig.
Mu Qian followed Fu Hong and Shen Kuo towards the edge of the miasma forest.
"Miss Hong Zhi, be careful, there are many more plants here than just plants." Shen Kuo reminded.
Mu Qian nodded and followed the two of them to explore in the moonlight.
"Is this it?" Mu Qian pulled out two grasses and handed them over.
Shen Kuo glanced at it and shook his head with a smile, "No."
"What about this?" The grass on Mu Qian's left hand lifted again.
Seeing the expectant look on her face, Shen Kuo laughed out loud, "No, I think you just stay here and don't move, and we can look for her."
Shen Kuo said and turned around. The man's back was extremely clear under the moonlight. He seemed to know all the plants very well.
Fu Hong could identify every herb he handed over. Such an ability was indeed not something ordinary people could possess.
Mu Qian felt that Shen Kuo was very mysterious when she first met him. Although he was smiling, his amusement never reached his eyes.
Soon there was movement from Fu Hong's side, "Here!!"
Following his cry, Mu Qian looked up and saw Fu Hong running over there. In front of him was a moving tree...
Mu Qian opened her eyes and saw clearly, it looked like a green grass.
"Grandpa, catch it!!"
The grass escaped very quickly. Fu Hong missed it several times and fell to the ground in disgrace.
Shen Kuo took out a red rope from his pocket. After quickly forming a spell, the red rope flew out and surrounded all the places he walked along the grass.
Finally, the grass was successfully tied up.
"We can go back." Shen Kuo carried the spiritual grass tied with a red rope, "It can relieve the miasma."
Fu Hong rushed over panting, "I almost died of him, this little thing is too difficult to catch."
"These spiritual grasses grow by absorbing spiritual energy. They are different from ordinary elves. All the spiritual energy is used for speed and cannot be caught casually." Shen Kuo looked at him and smiled.
Mu Qian walked between the two of them and raised her own question, "Master Kuo, with your ability, why do you want to listen to Chi Si?"
People like Shen Kuo have developed their skills by traveling across continents, but what is revealed in their bones is a stubbornness that is unwilling to obey others.
Such people never value money.
"I didn't listen to him. It seems that Miss Hongzhi misunderstood me." Shen Kuo glanced at her.
Now he has reacted and corrected his statement, "It's cooperation, you two are in a cooperative relationship."
Shen Kuo didn't pay much attention to her correction and just said lightly, "There are always things that need to be done and must be done in life."
Mu Qian watched the two people walking further and further away, and Shen Kuo's words seemed a bit confusing.
With the help of spiritual grass, they successfully passed through the miasma and arrived one mile away from the mausoleum. Although they encountered many spiritual beings who had lost their minds, they avoided them one by one.
The journey was peaceful, and the closer they got to the tomb, the more dangerous they were.
Following the route on the map, they successfully arrived at the entrance of the central cave in Yishan Mountain.
"Keep walking along this cave and you will reach the location closest to the tomb door." Shen Kuo pointed to the cave in front of him.
In the middle of the night, cold air was blowing out from the entrance of the cave. In addition to the cold air, there was also a hostile air blowing towards me.
Suddenly there were several loud bird calls in the sky. Mu Qian and Chi Si looked up at the same time and saw the mighty red spiritual birds with red light in the sky.
She couldn't be more familiar with this spiritual bird.
"It's a bird."
Each bird carries two people on its back, both wearing black cloaks. The caps attached to the cloaks are wide enough to cover half of their faces.
"Twelve Rakshasa." Shen Kuo looked stern and took a step forward.
There is probably no one in this world who understands the ghost gate better than him, and he can tell who is coming without even looking at his face.
"All twelve are here." Chi Si looked over coldly.
Mu Qian was pulled back by the man and blocked tightly behind her.
"Although it is not impossible to defeat them, if you waste time, this trip will be in vain." Shen Kuo said and looked at Chi Si, "Fourth Master, please go ahead by yourself. I will go to you after I deal with them. "
If you get entangled by these people, I'm afraid you will be tormented until dawn.
For them now, it doesn't matter how many people come or how powerful they are, what they can't afford to waste is time.
So don't waste it. Once that time is exceeded, all your efforts will be in vain.
"Hurry up and catch up."
After speaking, Chi Si took Mu Qian's hand and entered the cave. Heng Li nodded to the two of them and followed.
The bird flapped its wings and landed on the ground. The leader jumped off the back of the bird and lined up in a row to stare at the people opposite.
"I didn't expect that you, a traitor from the underworld, would still be alive."
Fu Hong stood beside Shen Kuo, not being overwhelmed by the person opposite him.
Following Shen Kuo for so many years, he has seen all kinds of storms and waves. Not to mention that the twelve Rakshasa are not here today, even if they are, he is not afraid.
"Polo, I haven't seen you in the past few years. You really haven't made any progress at all." Shen Kuo stared at the person opposite and said coldly.
The two groups of people stood face to face, their momentum was tense. Although there were few people, the momentum of the two people did not diminish at all.
"Shen Kuo, I said that as long as you don't do what you shouldn't do, I won't target you, but now, you are really stubborn."
Po Luo took off his cloak as he spoke, revealing a face that disgusted Shen Kuo to the extreme.
"Stop talking nonsense. If you want to fight, just come."
Shen Kuo and Fu Hong transformed into magic weapons at the same time and stared at the person opposite.
There was a loud collision outside the cave, and Mu Qian couldn't help but look back. She was not worried about Shen Kuo. A person who could be hunted by the Ghost Sect and the Soul-Sucking Department for so many years without dying would not have something happen to him like this.
"We are walking a little too slowly." Mu Qian looked at Chi Si and said.
Chi Si understood what she meant and held the girl's wrist.
In an instant, the two disappeared into the cave. Hengli reacted and looked around.
"Just leave."
His spiritual power can only use short-distance teleportation spells, so he can't be as powerful as them.
Knowing that he had been left behind, Heng Li could only accept his fate and rush forward.
If you use the teleportation spell without knowing the destination, you will either not have enough spiritual energy to reach it, or you will use too much force and directly exceed it.
Originally they were flying well, but the two of them were blocked by a barrier. After the impact was relieved, Mu Qian was protected by Chi Si in his arms.
The two rolled far away and landed on the ground.
"Ahem..."
Mu Qian only felt a soft feeling behind her, which was not like the feeling of ordinary ground. Chi Si held her tightly against her chest, but she was not injured.
When she opened her eyes, there was a bright light. It was dark just a moment ago, but now it was suddenly so bright, it was really dazzling.
After her eyes adjusted to the light, Mu Qian's eyes were filled with a dazzling golden color.
"Please slow down, don't believe me." Chi Si helped her up and raised her hand to pluck the leaves from her head.
"Is this...the tomb?" Mu Qian blinked.
Counting the time, it's only eleven o'clock in the evening, how can it be dawn now?
And it seems a bit unrealistic to enter the tomb gate in one rush.
It was as bright as day here, and the most important thing was that they were located in a golden maple forest. The tree trunks were so thick that they looked like trees that had been growing for hundreds of years.
"This place is full of spiritual energy. Someone must have set up a formation." Chi Si held her hand and raised his head.
You can feel a steady stream of spiritual energy being drawn from all directions by the formation to support these maple trees.
"Don't you think it's strange? It's not late autumn, so these leaves can't be this color." Mu Qian said.
A thick layer of fallen leaves had accumulated on the ground beneath their feet. The blowing wind caused the layers of leaves to float like waves, and golden leaves fell from the trees.
It's so beautiful, like a fairyland.
"This is the Condensation Formation. Time here has been stopped, in late autumn."
That's why this forest is so beautiful.
Mu Qian took a step forward, and a sense of familiarity came to her heart. There used to be such a maple forest in Suolin Pavilion, and every year in late autumn, the fallen leaves were so beautiful.
She had been playing hide-and-seek with her senior brothers and sisters in the maple forest since she was a child. In a trance, she seemed to see the children running among the woods.
As an adult, every time she was punished by her master for not practicing well, she would hide there. When her senior brothers brought her snacks from the mountain, they would always go there to look for her immediately.
The girl walking in front of him raised her head, the sunlight fell through the gaps in the leaves, and the fine light danced in her hair. Looking back, Chi Si saw the smile in her eyes and the softness on her face.
In a daze, he saw the familiar figure in the dream again, the girl dancing in the golden field.
His heart suddenly hurt, and this time the pain was so surging that it spread from his heart to the depths of his soul. The pain was so painful that he couldn't breathe, and he squatted on the ground.
Mu Qian, who was picking up leaves, turned around and saw this scene, and was so frightened that she dropped everything in her hands.
"Are you okay!"
It's already reached this point, don't let this person get sick at this time.
Mu Qian was caught off guard and was pulled into his arms. His hands tightly controlled Mu Qian's wrists and held her in his arms.
The two of them fell down on the golden fallen leaves together, and Mu Qian was a little confused.
"Chi Si?"
She struggled a little, but was hugged tighter.
"Don't move."
The man's voice was hoarse, and the hands holding her were shaking a little, "Don't move..."
What he couldn't be sure of before, he can now be sure of. Mu Qian is the person in his dream.
Those hysterical nightmares disappeared little by little after meeting her, but the heartache became more and more profound.
Mu Qian couldn't feel it, but he could feel the magic surging in the forest. He knew what was going on after just one glance.
Somehow, everything seems to be connected.
"Don't let your guard down at the critical moment. We are already very close to the tomb door." Mu Qian patted him on the shoulder.
Although they don't know why there is such a formation in front of the mausoleum, and there seems to be no murderous intention in it, they are almost there.
"If you fall down here, I won't care about you." She threatened lightly.
"Oh……"
The man with his face buried in her shoulder suddenly chuckled.
"You really are..."
He didn't say the next words, so Mu Qian asked curiously, "What?"
"Heartless."
These four words successfully made Mu Qian throw the person away.
