Queen of Nongmen: Hexagrams determine the universe

Chapter 422

A smile finally appeared on the woman's face, and even her voice softened a lot: "Finally, the emperor pays off, let's go up!"

The remaining 300 people filed up and climbed up the high mountain top along the chain hanging ladder. After they went up, Ye Qiongdan and Ye Qinghan followed them quietly after a while.

Different from the mountain and stone wall, the top of the mountain is lush and lush, with birds singing and flowers fragrant, pavilions and pavilions everywhere, and there is a natural lake in the middle of the top of the mountain, the water of the lake is as clear as a drop of crystal tears.

However, because no living people have lived on the mountain for many years, the originally delicate wooden pavilions have collapsed at this time. There are mushrooms growing on the rotten wood, and there are even one or two open trees between the wood. A small yellow wild flower.

What can be vaguely seen here are bones and large alchemy furnaces next to the bones. Some alchemy tools from many years ago have rusted and are scattered among the weeds.

Some of the containers containing the elixirs are well airtight, and the elixirs inside have not been moldy after so many years.

Of course, this elixir does not know its function, and no one dares to take it indiscriminately.

Everyone searched around the top of the mountain, but found nothing of value, and a look of disappointment flashed in their eyes.

Some books on alchemy are long gone. The power of time has made the vegetation luxuriant, and the civilization of the past has been buried in the mud, rain and snow.

A look of disappointment flashed in the woman's eyes, she sighed, and signaled with her eyes that everyone should follow her down first, and go to the mountainside tomorrow to see if they could find the last emperor.

After everyone came up through hardships, they found that there was nothing of value here. They thought of those companions who died or were seriously injured, and a flash of resentment flashed in their hearts.

But resentment is resentment, they still dare not speak out.

So, everyone filed down, went to the plank road again, and then walked along the plank road back to the camp where they were stationed last night.

This day's experience made everyone a little tired, and the person in charge of the patrol returned to the camp after a cursory tour.

Everyone cooked the food numbly, and after eating some casually, everyone went to rest except for the sentinel.

Not far away, Ye Qiongdan took out the dry food in the backpack. The dry food was wrapped with several layers of oil paper. Even if it was wet, the dry food was not soaked by water.

"Tomorrow they will enter the mountainside, and if they want to enter the underground palace, the mountainside is the place to go. If we think about it, we will be able to find those funerary objects soon," Ye Qiongdan distributed the dry food to Ye Qinghan, gently shaking his head Leaning on his shoulder, "Do you feel that you are getting closer to your goal?"

Ye Qinghan distributed most of the dry food to Ye Qiongdan, leaving only a very small part for himself.

"You eat so little, aren't you hungry?" Ye Qiongdan frowned, "Before I came in, I was a little worried about you and prepared for a protracted war, so I brought a lot of dry food in, so you don't have to be so frugal. Besides Now, the once small country is now covered by vegetation, and there are animals and plants everywhere, do we still have to worry about food?"

"Eat more, you've lost weight." Ye Qinghan looked at her fixedly, with a touch of tenderness in his cold eyes.

"I've grown up, and my five senses have opened up." Ye Qiongdan smiled slightly, and stretched out his hand to touch his face, "It's just that the baby fat is gone. How can it be as exaggerated as you said? Besides, you will share it with me." I can't finish eating so much dry food, if I'm full, I can't even find a medical center in this ghost place, don't you feel bad?"

Speaking of which, Ye Qiongdan broke off a small piece of dry food and handed it to Ye Qinghan's lips.

Ye Qinghan's cheeks were a little flushed, he opened his mouth to eat, and accidentally touched her finger on the side of his lips, the heat on his face couldn't help but get even higher.

He is usually an extremely cold person, but when he meets her, he is always in a mess.

"You...you eat by yourself..." He lowered his eyes slightly, and said a little unnaturally.

"Okay, I'll eat it myself," said Ye Qiongdan kissing him on the lips, and then broke more dry food and stuffed it for him, "I eat this is enough, you are not allowed to give me any more, if I am full If it breaks, it's a trivial matter, if I get fat because of it, how can you be responsible?"

Ye Qinghan lowered his head, with a faint smile on his lips, why is the person he puts on top of his heart so cute?

"I'll go pick some wild fruits for you, these dry foods are too dry." Ye Qinghan said softly, and gently raised his hand to remove a leaf on top of her head.

"Okay." Ye Qiongdan nodded.

After a while, Ye Qinghan found a lot of ripe wild fruits in the vast mountains, those wild fruits had been cleaned by her, and now they were covered with transparent water droplets, looking very attractive.

Ye Qiongdan took a bite of a fruit. The juice of this mountain fruit was rich, sweet and sour, which made her frown.

"It's delicious, you can eat it too." She smiled sweetly at him.

"Ah."

After the two settled their dinner, Ye Qiongdan leaned on Ye Qinghan's shoulder, looked at the stars in the sky, and said softly: "The last time the two of us looked at the stars, it was still in Shanghe Village, do you remember? "

"Remember." That night, the fireflies were beautiful and the moon was shining.

That night, he hoped that time could stop, so that he could keep that beautiful her forever.

Unexpectedly, time has been passing like this, and it did not bring him any regrets, but brought him a better ending.

Only in his dreams did he dare to secretly imagine the day when they could hold hands like lovers.

"Actually, I wanted to be with you back then, but I didn't dare to say it, because I was afraid that once I said it, I wouldn't know how to face you in the future," Ye Qiongdan said shyly, "Fortunately, the situation is not bad. After we leave here this time, shall we hide it from our family first, or make it public first?"

"It's all up to you," he said, pausing again, and said decisively, "When the time comes, you will put all the responsibility on me."

This era is extremely harsh on women. It is obvious that two people are in love with each other, but people will always blame women. Ye Qinghan can't bear her being wronged like this.

"Are you afraid of the old man making trouble? Or are you afraid that the villagers will gossip?" Ye Qiongdan laughed, "As for the old man, then you don't have to worry at all, I don't care what the old man says. If he seeks death and life at that time, I will also I just pretend I can’t see it. As for what the villagers say, I don’t even care. I don’t eat their rice or drink their water, so why should I care about their gossip? Life is only a few days. Ten years, why should I give up the precious happiness for the barriers of this world?"

"It's just, I'm not sure..."

Even if he thought of the decisive and strategizing self in the past, he was still not sure whether he could bring her happiness. In the years before he was frustrated, he was full of courage in facing this malicious world.

But after falling in love with her little by little, he became less and less confident in himself. He wanted to be with her, protect her, and give her the best, but he was always worried that he was not doing enough. .

Because he fell in love with someone, even if he offered his whole world, he felt that it was far from enough.

Because it is the person I like, I feel that the other person deserves the best.

"I'm sure!" Ye Qiongdan said firmly, and pressed her forehead to his forehead, repeating, "I'm sure!"

Then she put her hand on his chest, feeling his strong heartbeat, and said slowly: "As long as our hearts beat for each other, there is nothing invincible."

"Don't you feel wronged?" He asked distressedly.

"I, Ye Qiongdan, never use these things to wrong myself," Ye Qiongdan smiled slightly, "The thing that makes me feel wronged the most is that you never fell in love with me."

This time, Ye Qinghan tried to close his eyes and kissed her gently.

The two kissed lightly and tenderly.

After a kiss, Ye Qiongdan stared at him, and found that his eyes were filled with only her, more beautiful than the stars.

Tonight, the stars are like a dream.

Early the next morning, after a night's rest, everyone started their journey again after washing up.

Xiaoqiu walked among the crowd, and said in a low voice: "Look, I'm not wrong, that thing is an ominous thing, you have only gone to the top of the mountain, and you have lost so many people, if you really go The underground palace, maybe the whole army will be wiped out."

"Shut up!" The person escorting Xiaoqiu slapped him across the face, and said angrily, "If you don't shut up, I'll find a veil to cover your mouth .”

"Don't fight, don't fight," Wang Chenggong began to plead, "Xiaoqiu is ignorant, Xiaoqiu is still a child. You stop, we have the blueprint of the underground palace, and this trip will definitely go smoothly."

"That's human talk," said the man.

Wang Chenggong took a long look at Xiaoqiu, and signaled him to stop talking nonsense with his eyes, so as not to make trouble for himself.

After getting along with each other for the past few days, Xiaoqiu's face was bruised and swollen, and her eyes were squeezed to the point where there were only two slits left due to the swelling on her face. She looked very pitiful.

Xiao Qiu pursed her lips, but did not speak.

He doesn't believe in adding an official to a noble.

When they lead these people into the underground palace and find the last emperor, he will die unexpectedly.

These people are ruthless and will never let them go, because in this matter, there is no need for extra insiders.

Xiaoqiu is always in fear that my life is over, and can only vent the resentment in her heart by cursing.

As long as he stopped cursing for a moment, he would fall into deep panic again.

As a human being, he was terrified of death.

Originally, he thought he was afraid of being poor, so he thought of coming here to find funeral objects so that he could live a better life in the future.

But unexpectedly, one day he was no longer afraid of poverty, and he was even more afraid of death.

In the face of death, it seems that poverty is no longer so unbearable.

But what can be done?A thousand gold is hard to buy, I knew it earlier, ten thousand gold is hard to buy regret medicine, Xiao Qiu touched her swollen face, gasped, her eyes were a little moist.

Immediately, he took a deep breath, not wanting to show his fragility, lest he be underestimated by these executioners.

Half an hour later, everyone walked to the foot of the mountain and saw a bronze gate hidden under a towering tree. In front of this bronze gate stood two huge stone statues, which were fully ten feet high.

Over the years, some dust has accumulated on the stone statues. Some moss first grew out of the dust, and then some flowers and trees grew. If you don't look carefully, you can't find these two stone statues at all.

Everyone hurriedly cleaned the copper rust on the bronze door for a while, and the bronze door finally gradually revealed its original appearance.

This is a sophisticated mechanism door covered with gears. There is a circular lock in the center of the bronze door. Hundreds of animal totems are carved on the circular lock. Above the circular lock is a groove.
