After passing through the so-called stone gate in the Valley of the Kings, the first thing that comes into view is a dozen simple and irregular thatched houses. Among them, two old men in black robes stood in front of one of the thatched houses near the stone gate. Judging by their age, Jiya is a few years older than Daofa. The black-robed man on the left looks very similar to the old man I saw in front of the Young Emperor's Mausoleum. Even his expression is quite similar.
There is a stream running through the back of the thatched cottage. The stream is surrounded by flowers and plants that last all year round. It is elegant yet gorgeous. There are many tall trees in the distance. It is simple yet profound. But I don’t know that the edge of the Valley of the Kings is there again. where.
In addition, there are no large-scale mountain villages or farmhouses in the valley. There are no rice fields or vegetable gardens. It only makes people feel natural and simple.
The entire Valley of the Kings seems quiet and peaceful. The passing birds occasionally leave crisp calls, which makes people feel that this is not a landscape sketch.
It's completely different from what I imagined. I thought the Valley of the Kings would be like the scene described in "The Peach Blossom Spring". The land is flat and the houses are like-looking. There are fertile fields, beautiful ponds, mulberry trees, bamboos, and traffic. Chickens and dogs hear each other. There is traffic in it. The men and women are dressed like outsiders. Their yellow hair hangs down and they look happy.
The old man in black robe on the right smiled when he saw us and said: "Junior Brother Fire Dragon, you are back."
Yuan Ji hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Huo Long has met Hall Master Gongsun. He has met Senior Brother Huo Li."
Master Huo Li glanced at our group of people and said to Yuan Ji: "Early this morning, Hall Master Gongsun came to tell me that there would be distinguished guests coming at around noon today. I didn't expect so many people to come at once. Fire Dragon, give it to us. Let me introduce you."
Yuan Ji first pointed at me standing at the front and said, "Two senior brothers. This is Mr. Hu Yan from Lin'an Shifeng Trading Company."
"Young Master Huyan, welcome to the Imperial Valley as a guest." Gongsun Ang, the master of the Imperial Valley Art Hall, looked at me with a peaceful face and said.
"Junior Huyan Donghai came uninvited and disturbed all of you. I hope you two gentlemen can forgive me."
"Young Master, you're welcome." Master Huo Li also stared at me and said.
Yuan Ji continued to introduce: "This is Senior Jiya, the Mongolian miracle doctor."
Gongsun Ang was slightly surprised and said: "Mongols."
"Exactly." Jiya bowed her hands and said, "Jiya has met these two gentlemen."
Gongsun Ang nodded and said calmly: "Welcome Divine Doctor Jiya to be our guest."
Jiya said: "Thank you two gentlemen."
"Two senior brothers. The rest of you are also my friends."
"Well, welcome," Huo Li said. "Fire Dragon, please invite the guests to the guest house."
"Yes. Senior brother."
Yuan Ji took us to a nearby thatched cottage. This guest house was simply furnished. There was only a simple long table and more than a dozen wooden stools. After we sat down, we saw two boys entering with cups and teapots respectively. He also gave each of us a cup of tea. Yuan Ji said: "Everyone, it is simple in the mountains. A cup of thin tea is not respectful. Please."
After Fang Chenyi finished a drink, he hurriedly said: "Sir, can you go see the miracle doctor Hua Yipinhua first?"
Yuan Ji knew that I was also worried about Fang Ling's affairs, so he said: "Sir, you guys sit down for a while. I'll go find my senior brother right now."
"Yeah. Go ahead."
Not long after, Yuan Ji returned to the house and said: "Miracle Doctor Jiya, please follow me to the residence of the God Doctor Xiahua. Mr. Fang, Miss Lin. You two will take Miss Fang with you. Quan Yi, Xiu Yan. You will also come together." By the way, I’ll help the two miracle doctors.”
After Yuan Ji and others left, Daofa and I drank tea for a while. Then we saw Hall Master Gongsun and Master Huoli walking in.
The outer hall of the Imperial Valley is divided into the Shu Hall and the Martial Arts Hall. Gongsun Ang and Huo Li, the masters of the two halls, are actually the owners of the outer hall of the Imperial Valley.
Master Huoli said first: "Master Daofa. We have been separated for twenty years. I heard that you have been promoted to a Sanren of the Dragon and Tiger Sect. I am very happy and congratulated."
Daofa smiled: "Thank you, Master Huoli."
"Taofa. Now that you are a Sanren, you can compete with others. Let's go and do some activities outside."
"Okay. Master Huoli invites you. If you dare to disobey the Taoism."
Master Huoli said "grace" and said to Wen Zhang and Shen Mo: "You two should come and watch together."
Wen Zhang was overjoyed to be able to see the discussion between Master Huo Li and his master. It was undoubtedly like watching a Taoist discussion at Longhu Mountain. After looking at each other with Shen Mo, they both looked at me.
"Go ahead." Of course I understood what they meant. I smiled and said, "This is the Valley of the Kings. There is no problem with my safety."
Gongsun Ang signaled the two boys beside him to leave together. Then he gave me a half-ceremony salute and said: "Gongsun Ang, the master of the Imperial Valley Arts Hall, has met His Majesty the Emperor of the Song Dynasty. He is an outsider and is not polite enough. Please forgive me." Your Majesty Haihan."
"Hall Master Gongsun is welcome."
"Your Majesty, the Valley of the Kings was left by Xuanyuan Huangdi, the founder of the Han people. Its function, Huolong Zhenren, has also told your majesty. It is to continue the inheritance of our Han people. Since Emperor Gaozong's southward journey a hundred years ago, our emperor's star has no longer been dazzling. It has even become more and more prominent. The weaker. In recent decades, the sudden rise of the Mongolian Emperor Star in the north almost swallowed up the last light of our Emperor Star. So five years ago, the Emperor Valley sent the Fire Dragon Master to Lin'an to see if this disaster could be resolved. .Until the end of October of the year before last, the Song Dynasty’s destiny star suddenly mutated in an instant.”
"At that time, we thought it was a flashback, and we were shocked." Gongsun Ang continued. "That night, we gathered the joint efforts of the martial arts hall to deduce the celestial phenomena. We found that it was not as we imagined. On the contrary, it was extremely rare in the celestial phenomena. The phenomenon of rebirth from the ashes is quite similar. After that, every seven or forty-nine days, we will observe the sky and make deductions. As time goes by, we have basically determined the mutation at the end of October. It is the legendary image of a phoenix rising from the ashes."
I nodded slightly and said, "The Phoenix's rebirth is a good sign."
"Yes. Your Majesty. Although the twin stars are still shining, the light of the Mongolian destiny star has shrunk a lot. The Han and Mongolian sides are basically on the same starting line." Gongsun Ang looked at me, a little excited. He said, "Perhaps Your Majesty is the inheritor chosen by the Guardian."
I didn't deny it. I smiled and said, "Master, judging from the celestial phenomena, what will be the final outcome?"
Gongsun Ang said: "Judging from the current situation, it is still difficult to deduce what the outcome between Song and Meng will be. Perhaps only the guardian knows. Your Majesty, I have something to tell you. Even though the ancients said, it is up to the people to decide. Everything depends on God. But I think that the success or failure of any thing is half divided by God and man. And in many cases, the weight of man is greater than the so-called will of God. Although we cannot say that man can defeat God, man can definitely influence God's will. of."
"Well said. Thank you, Bishop, for your teaching."
"Haha. My humble opinion. Just my humble opinion."
"No, no. Hall Master, I also firmly believe that people can influence heaven." I continued. "Hall Master Gongsun, I once heard Jiang Yang, the great wizard of the Miao family, say that the Imperial Valley Nei Hall and the Miao Family Nine
Lishan is one of the two most holy places in the world. It is also the place where the guardian is located. Today is September 29th this year. It is the time when the seal of the holy place is at its weakest. Relatively speaking, it is the easiest time for communication between the two worlds.
Is that so?"
"Your Majesty, what Great Wizard Jiang Yang said is half right." Gongsun Ang smiled. "If ordinary people want to enter the Holy Land, today is the best time. But if it is a guardian who wants to contact the world, it can be done at any time. Your Majesty
.Could it be that you also want to go to the Holy Land?"
"I have such an idea. As the emperor of the Song Dynasty, I really want to listen to the instructions of my Han guardian."
Gongsun Ang said: "Your Majesty, Junior Brother Fire Dragon must have said that there is no fixed door in the world to enter the inner hall of the Valley of the Kings."
"Yes. Mr. Yuan Ji said it."
"Three hundred years ago, Emperor Taizu, the founding emperor of the Song Dynasty, once visited the Valley of the Kings. It was also on the 29th of that year. However, in the end he missed the Holy Land. Now that your Majesty is here, whether you can enter the inner hall depends on your Majesty's will.
It’s fate.”
"Hall Master, where should I go to try this fate? I heard Mr. Yuan say that hundreds of years ago, a senior from the outer hall of the Valley of the Kings entered the inner hall."
"Your Majesty, there is no fixed door in and out of the Holy Land. So it is the same everywhere. Your Majesty will stay in the Valley of the Kings tonight. If you are lucky, a miracle will happen. As for the senior from back then, he was summoned by the guardian and entered the inner hall.
But he never returned to the outer hall. According to our guess, that senior has become a guardian."
"Master Gongsun, what is going on in this holy land? Is it like the ancient mythology? There are thirty-three heavens."
Gongsun Ang smiled and said: "Your Majesty, we have no way of knowing the exact reason. But according to our research in the outer hall for thousands of years, the Holy Land should be in a special space. It is also the so-called Tianwaitian. Well, let's put it this way. The guardian's
Where we are and where we are may be two intertwined alien spaces. Each has its own development trajectory. Although Tianwaitian is far ahead of the space we are in, it cannot go offside at will and affect our space. The guardian has
Special abilities that span two realms will appear in our world by chance. Every time a guardian comes into the world, it will form the source of myth."
"What the hall master said makes sense. This is probably a multi-dimensional space."
I don’t know if Gongsun Ang understands the meaning of multi-dimensional space. He continued: "Whether I can see the guardian depends on fate. Master Gongsun, I came to the Valley of the Kings this time because of Ling'er. But
I wonder if the Chinese miracle doctor has the ability to cure this 'living dead' condition."
Gongsun Ang hesitated for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, with all due respect, even if Hua Yipin and Jiya join forces, they can only delay the spread of Miss Fang's symptoms. As for a radical cure, there is no way."
My heart sank. I thought to myself: If even two miracle doctors can't cure Ling'er together, then who else can cure Ling'er?
Gongsun Ang continued: "Your Majesty, even so, I have seen Miss Fang's appearance. It seems that she should not die like this."
"Maybe Hall Master Gongsun has another way."
Gongsun Ang shook his head and said: "There is God's will in the dark. I can't figure it out. Maybe Miss Fang has another destiny."
I sighed. I drank two cups of tea in a row. I slowly said: "By the way, Hall Master. I always feel that you look very similar to an old friend I have met. I wonder if Hall Master has met before."
