Gongsun Ang affirmed: "No, I have not left the Valley of the Kings for forty years, so naturally I will not meet your majesty. Perhaps the old friend your majesty refers to is a certain guardian from my Gongsun lineage. "
"Why,"
"Your Majesty, our Imperial Valley Outer Hall is divided into the Shu Hall and the Wu Hall. The master of the Wu Hall is a virtuous man, but the master of the Shu Hall has always been held by my Gongsun family. There is a certain reason for this. The Gongsun family is He is a direct descendant of Emperor Xuanyuan Huang. The appearance of our lineage has almost remained unchanged from generation to generation. According to the writings left by our ancestors, the master of the Imperial Gushu Hall must be a descendant of Gongsun. This move is not nepotism, but is within the Gongsun lineage. There is some special element in the flowing blood that makes it easier for us to communicate with the people in the inner hall. Therefore, for thousands of years, our Gongsun family has had several guardians or guides,"
"Well, it's possible,"
Of course, I can't understand at all what kind of genetics are responsible for the fact that the appearance of the Gongsun family has almost remained unchanged from generation to generation.
"Your Majesty, it's getting late. I'll go to bed early after dinner later. I'll take my leave first."
"Hall Master, can I go see Ling'er?"
Gongsun Ang said: "Your Majesty, Hua Yipin said before that the results will not be available until tomorrow morning at the earliest. He does not want anyone to disturb him during this period. I think your Majesty should not go for the time being. Huo Li will be back soon. Let's Let him accompany His Majesty for a walk in the valley,"
"Okay, then I'll go to Divine Doctor Hua tomorrow morning,"
The Valley of the Kings is located in the north of the Yellow River. The climate is cold at night, but Daofa and others are not afraid at all. Daofa and Yuan Ji lead their apprentices to practice selflessly in this natural oxygen bar. Fang Chenyi and others also In the thatched cottage where Hua Yipin lived, I was the only one with nothing to do, so I lay down on the bed early.
If there is a fate, the guardian will bring me from the bed into the inner hall. With my skills, I will definitely not be able to break the seal of the inner hall, not to mention I don't know the weakness of the seal at all. I can only wait passively, thinking Thinking about it, I slowly fell asleep.
I don’t know when it was, but in a daze I heard Gongsun Ang saying in my ear: “Your Majesty, please get up quickly, the guardian wants to see you.”
"Ah," when I heard it was the guardian, I immediately got up and said, "Master, where is the guardian?"
"Your Majesty, just follow me,"
I got dressed and followed Gongsun Ang out of the thatched cottage where I lived.
Looking up, I saw a sky full of stars. Compared with the outside world, the sky in the Valley of the Kings seemed to be particularly deep, and even the stars here emitted more dazzling light.
As soon as we walked out of the stone gate, we found ourselves on the top of a cliff.
"Hey, where is this?" I remember that we didn't see such a cliff on the way in. Through the dim starlight, I saw that there was no way ahead, only layers of clouds and mist, making it impossible to see through. How deep would it be under the clouds and mist? But Gongsun raised his head and walked straight forward without looking back.
"Is this an illusion or a trap?"
Gongsun Ang, who was walking in front, seemed to understand my thoughts and strode into the clouds. When he stood firmly, he turned back and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this is another Nine Chapters Qimen Formation. You just need to Just stay close to me,"
"Isn't this the legendary unparalleled light skill, walking in the air?" I thought, while slightly bending my left leg and trying to stretch out my right foot. After trying it, I found that I was actually stepping on the ground. superior.
It turned out that there was a road under the cliff, but it was obscured by clouds and fog.
Gongsun Ang stretched out his hand to pull me back and said, "Your Majesty, close your eyes and walk forward."
I once had the experience of passing through the Nine Chapters Qimen Formation, so I closed my eyes, let Gongsun Ang lead me, and walked slowly forward. After walking for a while, I knew that we were going down in a circle. As for the destination, Where I don't know.
This time, the Nine Returns Qimen Formation seemed to go much faster, and no strange sounds were heard along the way. Not long after, I heard Gongsun Ang say: "Your Majesty, you can open your eyes."
I said "yes" and when I opened my eyes, I immediately saw the ancient ruins we had passed by.
"Hey, why is it similar to last night's dream," I thought to myself.
Just then, an arched building suddenly appeared in the center of the ruins. I was even more surprised and couldn't help but let out an "ah" sound.
Gongsun Ang and I walked to the building and said: "Your Majesty, I received instructions from the guardian to bring you here and ask you to enter alone."
"Okay," I whispered, and without hesitation pushed open a stone door in the middle of the building and walked inside.
It was finally very different from yesterday’s dream. Inside the Shimen was no longer pitch black, but as bright as day. I looked around, but I didn’t know how to describe the scene I saw. This was a super building. It was a large palace-like building with no pillars or windows. The bright light came from nowhere. There were only a dozen straw hat-like things floating in the air in the huge palace. I suddenly remembered what the great wizard Jiang Yang said. However, his entry into the Holy Land was purely a fugue of consciousness, but I came in with my body attached. As soon as I thought about this, I quickly moved my hands and feet, pinched my arms, and found that everything really existed.
This shouldn't be a dream, could it be a strange gate array?
Facing such an empty big house and thinking of last night's dream, I became a little anxious and looked back involuntarily, for fear that "Miracle Doctor Jiya" would appear behind me.
Suddenly, I smelled a smell similar to the fragrance of jasmine. The fragrance lasted and gradually calmed down my irritable mood. Strangely enough, when I became calm, I suddenly saw a straw hat-shaped object closest to me. A looming figure appeared, and the straw hat-shaped object began to descend. Soon, the figure became clearer and clearer, and finally appeared completely in front of me.
It's like my eyes are constantly adjusting the focus, and finally the focus is successful. Maybe this is caused by the spatial difference. Even if the X-axis does not change, the Y-axis will become half of its original size, not to mention the Z-axis. I subconsciously It reminds me of the mathematics of later generations, the oblique method.
From such a close distance, I recognized him at a glance. The old man in front of me was the man in black I had seen in front of the Young Emperor's Mausoleum that day.
The old man sat on the straw hat-like object and said: "Master Huyan, His Majesty the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, welcome your arrival. This is the leading hall between the inner hall and the outer hall of the Valley of the Kings. The air here is suitable for two different planes. people,”
"Thank you," I asked first, "you are the guardian of our Han people."
"good,"
"Senior Guardian, are you the elder I saw in front of the Young Emperor's Mausoleum?"
"Yes and no,"
Although I didn't understand, I thought about it and asked another question: "Are you Senior Gongsun?"
"Well, my name was Gongsun Honghao when I was in the outer hall of the Imperial Valley, and I am also the ancestor of the master of the martial arts hall in the outer hall of the Imperial Valley today." After saying that, Gongsun Honghao grabbed a straw hat-shaped object floating in the air. He handed it to me and said, "Your Majesty, please sit on it."
I took the thing from Gongsun Honghao's hand and touched it with my hand. It felt soft, a bit like a sofa.
"Your Majesty, this kind of object is unique to the inner hall. You will be able to feel its benefits after a while," Gongsun Honghao continued after seeing me sitting down, "Your Majesty, what happened in front of the Young Emperor's Mausoleum that day was also It is a fate that is destined, Your Majesty, please don’t delve into it any further,”
"Whatever comes, take care of it. Since the Lord Guardian has entrusted me with the fate of the Chinese clan, I will go all out to lead the Song Dynasty to resurgence and let it stand on top of the world, no matter whether this is the case or not. I will fight for my destiny,"
For the first time, a slight smile appeared on Gongsun Honghao's face: "Well, it seems that we have chosen the wrong person. Your Majesty, the guardian is in a different plane, which is the different space you mentioned. We will be affected by our space. Therefore, the guardian cannot directly interfere with human affairs. Since the Jin Kingdom invaded Bianjing, we have begun to look for the inheritor, but we have never met anyone who is destined until we meet you. Your Majesty, you know what is inside the Valley of the Kings. Do you know Tang’s origin?”
"Well, I heard it from the great wizard Jiang Yang of the Miao family,"
Gongsun Honghao nodded and said: "The Holy Land is a special plane created by the ancestors of the Han and Miao tribes using the male and female swords of Guangcheng Immortal as a medium. With the passage of time, the magic power of the swords began to fade, especially in the past year. Over the past hundred years, we have found that the power of the Holy Land is getting weaker and weaker, which has led to the weakening of the guardian's power. At the same time, the Song Dynasty, as the main body of the Chinese clan, is facing a desperate situation. For this reason, ten years ago, I went to I visited a more advanced plane, that is, the evolutionary plane of the guardians. There, the senior guardians and I carefully calculated and agreed that it was impossible to find a successor in the current Song Dynasty, so we came up with the idea. In order to find a way to find the inheritor in the future, after many guardians worked together to deduce, the time and place where the inheritor appeared was finally determined. That was when you came to the Young Emperor's Mausoleum that night. After that, the evolved guardians taught I use the clone technique and designate my clone to complete this task,"
"That means the old man in front of the Young Emperor's Mausoleum is your clone,"
"Exactly,"
I sighed: "This, this is too amazing,"
Gongsun Honghao said: "There is no other way. According to my estimation, the time left in the Holy Land is running out. The speed of human development has exceeded the expectations of Emperor Xuanyuan, but people's hearts have also begun to become unbearable, greedy, and selfish. , jealousy, laziness, etc., all of which have caused human faith to gradually change or even disappear, making the 'air' that supports the holy land become dirty. This is the root cause of the decline in the power of male and female swords,"
I didn't understand for a moment and asked: "Senior Guardian, the Holy Land is another space different from the human world. Why does it need the air of the human world to maintain it?"
