Between the vast sea of ​​clouds

Chapter 191 Plank Road

The sky is about to dawn, the mountains are hazy, and the dense fog gradually dissipates, but there are thousands of hectares of golden light covering the continuous mountains, dyeing the thin clouds hovering on the peaks red.At the beginning of the day, the morning glow is all over the sky, the clouds are rising, the splendor is gorgeous, and people are so fascinated that they almost forget how many innocent souls were buried under this magnificent scenery.

Qingping thought about things all night, closed her eyes and fell asleep at dawn, and had another dream at the end of the day. She was disturbed and upset, her chest was swollen, and she was dizzy when she woke up. It took a while before he could see the bright light in front of him clearly.Hearing the movement on the right side, she turned her head and saw that she was making eye contact with Jin Huan. The two looked tired and preoccupied.

Seeing her opening her mouth, Jin Huan hesitated to speak, Qing Ping washed her face by a mountain spring, and then she became sober, turned around and said, "My lord, you seem to have something to say?"

Jin Huan rolled the words in her throat for a few rounds, even she herself found it unbelievable, let alone said it out.So she swallowed it abruptly, and said in a nonchalant manner: "My relatives and friends at home must have missed Mr. Li very much these days when he came to Chenzhou for business."

When she talked about relatives and friends, the first thing Qingping thought of was the figure that appeared in the dream last night. She was a little stunned for a while, and it took a while to recover. She didn't know how she opened her mouth. The sentence in her heart had already been said. Come out: "She may not miss me much."

Jin Huan tasted a hint of anger from these words, and couldn't help but think of the red and gorgeous marriage letter, but she explained the infatuation of her children for a while, and immediately comforted her in the tone of someone who has come over: "Master Li doesn't have to go like this." Think about it. Waiting for the matter here, you go back to Beijing to report on your work, and the marriage letter will be effective after His Majesty's royal approval, so you can meet day and night?"

Qingping opened his eyes wide, and asked in confusion: "Marriage letter, what marriage letter?"

Jin Huan only knew that she was a young man with a thin skin, and she smiled inscrutably: "Who doesn't know about the good things between you and Mr. Shao's family? I have already delivered the marriage letter on the table to His Majesty for you. Don't forget to invite me to drink this glass of wedding wine!"

Qing Ping nodded numbly, only felt that there was something wrong with her ears, she followed Jin Huan off the platform in a sloppy footsteps, and only when she stood on the wet and soft mud in the valley did she recall the whole story of the incident.The marriage letter with Shao Ming was a fake, but it was signed by her own name!

There is no love between her and Shao Ming, they are just false Luan and phoenix.Thinking that the marriage letter might be on Chu Jun's desk now, she couldn't even hold back a forced smile, and the corners of her mouth completely collapsed.But she still had some luck in mind, what if Chu Jun didn't look at it?This just in case luck can't comfort myself, on the contrary, I feel even more empty in my heart.She thought about it uneasily, because of emotion and reason, no matter how old the emperor is, he still can't control the marriage of his courtiers!But reasoning aside, she thought of Chu Jun's deep eyes, but felt a chill behind her.

Jin Huan didn't know what was going on in her mind, she stepped over a section of broken wall buried deep in the soil, borrowed the guard's sword to poke the wet soil downwards, and picked up a long and thin object at the corner of the wall, she carefully After looking at it for a moment, he said: "Master Li, look, this is a water plant."

Qingping put away her thoughts, and tried to tell herself to discuss the matter as it stands. Jin Huan also had a good heart, and if she wanted to blame it, she would blame herself for letting go of that thing... She looked at the black thing seriously, and looked upright at Mr. Jin, Weakly said: "It's a water plant, but it's already dried up."

Jin Huan walked back and forth among the abandoned houses in the hinterland for a long time, and found a bunch of bits and pieces. She signaled Qingping to come over, and said: "When the big water rushes into this place, the people who live here will inevitably die." It’s too late to prepare, look at these walls, they are all high in the east and low in the west, and the heavier houses were washed to the corners and stuck, so it can be seen that the water must have poured in from the west at that time.”

Qingping looked around, and what he saw was green screen-like mountains, embracing this hinterland.A snow-white bright line winds from the distant mountains, which is extremely dazzling in the sun.She temporarily calmed down her turbulent thoughts, and felt that she could talk to Jin Huan normally, and asked, "Is that the Huaihe branch that Master Jin said?"

Jin Huan covered her eyes with her hands, looked at the direction she was pointing at, and looked at the confluence of the river, which was where the Biluo City was located. She said: "The exit of this river must be behind that mountain—"

She paused at the end of the sentence, but Qing Ping knew what she meant, if the rapid current under the city was the outlet of this river, it would be full of corpses by now.

Zhao Yuan suddenly said: "My lords, there are only some ruined walls and broken tiles left in this mountain, and I can't see anything famous even if I look at it again. But the student just looked at the Biluo City, but he didn't see any cableway. How can we get across the trestle bridge?"

Jin Huan also remembered that she came here for this Biluo City, and other things need to be put aside, so she said: "It's important to find the way." Then he ordered the guards to search on both sides.

But after a few people came back, they all said that they didn't see any road.Qingping glanced over the heights, and saw rows of dilapidated houses. Although they were preserved in the flood, they could not escape the erosion of the years. Nearly half of the roofs had collapsed and were covered with green vines.These vines wantonly expanded their territory, covering the original residence like a green velvet blanket. Among the intertwined green leaves, Qingping saw a cornice.

Several nimble guards climbed up the vines, lifted the vines, and revealed a small temple. The temple was only half the height of a human, with high eaves and corners. It was unknown which god was enshrined.The guards climbed down the ivy again, and one of them took something from his waist and offered it, saying: "My lord, this is what I got in that temple just now, and I presented it to my lord."

Qingping took it and found that it was a fish-shaped jade carving with a strange shape.The fish has beards on its lips, long and thin eyes, and a bead on its forehead. The most bizarre thing is that this fish has grown hands and feet, standing like a human, as if bowing to salute.

Jin Huan couldn't help but said: "This thing looks weird, how can a fish grow arms and legs?"

Qing Ping was about to nod, but Zhao Yuan said cautiously from the side: "Student's humble opinion, this fish... looks a bit like a human, why does it seem to be smiling?"

Qingping raised the jade carving a little higher, the sapphire is transparent under the sunlight, showing a warm and moist texture, which is extraordinary.It's just that such a good piece of jade was used to carve such a strange fish, and I don't know what the purpose is.The eyes of this fish are thin and long, the corners of the mouth are upturned, and the two long whiskers are flying in the air. Matching the movements of its hands, it looks like a person with a wide mouth grinning, how strange it looks.

She asked Zhao Yuan: "Have you seen this thing?"

Zhao Yuan was dumbfounded, waved his hands and said, "I...students have never seen this thing before, we Yunzhou people don't eat fish, we think it has too many thorns!"

Qingping glanced at her with both a smile and a smile: "There is no point in that book of yours?"

Zhao Yuan looked at the fish very hard for a while, and probably exhausted all his thorns in his life. He swept the fish from head to tail several times, and then shook his head: "My lord, I really can't remember... "

Qingping looked at it several times, but he didn't see any difference, so he handed it to Zhao Yuan and said to her: "Then look at it a few more times, maybe you can think of something."

Zhao Yuan accepted it with a bitter face, holding it in her hand for fear of falling, so she had to put it in her arms. She looked down, and the corner of the murloc's mouth seemed to be laughing at her, but the smile had a malicious taste, Zhao Yuan A chill ran down his spine, thinking that this place was full of weirdness everywhere, so he turned the jade carving in his arms upside down, so that only the murloc's tail was exposed.

Qingping was in a better mood, and looked in the direction of the temple a few more times, feeling that the temple was a bit ridiculously high, and it didn't seem like a place for people to worship.She had a rough guess in her mind, and asked Jin Huan: "My lord, otherwise you will stay here, and I will take someone up to have a look first?"

Jin Huan looked up at the high place where the temple is located, and said: "Master Li thinks there will be a way there? Why don't we go together."

The guards cleared the way, cleared the vines with their long swords, and finally found a vague trail in the mountains, and they didn't have to bother the two adults to climb together in an indecent manner.It's just that the road is narrow and trembling, and very slippery. Qingping looked down and saw that the soil was stepped on by her. It turned out that the road under her feet was inlaid with small and smooth stones. The eyes are decorated with black stones, distinguishing the beginning and the end, facing the small temple on the high place.

When Qingping climbed up with the guard's hand, he realized that this narrow road was actually a divine way.

This small temple rests on half of the rocks, and there is nothing left in the temple except ash, Qingping pushed aside the ivy on the ground, it is still a barren area, without any trace of the road.

She looked at the city above the clouds, could it be that this city was really built out of thin air, if the people who lived here at that time wanted to worship, it would be impossible to fly up there?Qingping's eyes fell on the temple roof with four corners upturned, covered with glazed tiles, which looked particularly eye-catching.Compared with the temple, there is almost no dust on the tiles.Jin Huan swept around and saw ivy everywhere, and told the guards who were searching: "Be careful with your feet, don't step on the ground."

This place was no bigger than a palm, and the guards returned quickly.Qing Ping stood beside the temple for a while, and wanted to talk about it before reconsidering, but when she turned around, a gust of wind came in, blowing her temples flying, but this place is just in a sheltered mountain, how could there be wind?

The wind disappeared after it passed, Qingping walked back and forth towards the wind, happened to be on the edge of the mountain wall, she pushed aside the dense ivy, revealing a natural gap in the mountain.The gap is not big, only one person can go in and out, Qingping put his hand on the edge of the gap, and he felt a bit of wind, which means there must be a passage here.

She then called the guards to cut most of the ivy at the gap, and by the light, she could see that there seemed to be a staircase inside.Under the steps, it was dark and nothing could be seen.A guard held a torch and led the crowd into the gap.It was very narrow at the beginning, and you had to walk sideways. After descending a section of steps, it gradually opened up. The firelight illuminated the mountain walls on both sides, and you can see that there are grooves for fixing torches on the top. Obviously, people have come and gone here.

From time to time, the mountain wind gushed through the gap, blowing out a few strands of red fluff from the fire ball. It took them nearly a stick of incense to see the light, and finally reached the exit.

The wind was also blowing more and more fiercely, pouring into her sleeves, Qingping covered his eyes with his hands, and opened them after a while.

She found herself standing on a very high cliff, with a boundless forest in sight, and a big river flowing around it, shining in the sun, like a jade belt.Birds flew up from the mountains and landed on the cloud-like treetops.The cliffs on both sides of the cliff are covered with plank roads. This plank road is paved in such a dangerous place, and goes to the high place according to the situation of the mountain.Looking up, I can only see a mist shrouded in mist, but I don't know how high the mountain is, which is amazing.

Qingping suddenly realized that the plank road here must be the way to Biluo City!
