The world's ambitions are unparalleled

Chapter 62
Three months later.

In the southwestern border of Qingyue, there are rolling mountains, majestic Kaohsiung, lush green tops, shrouded in clouds and mists, and there seem to be thousands of secrets hidden in them.

Here is the place where the Nayi people lived and lived in the past.

At the entrance of the mountains, there stood a dilapidated signboard with the words "Forbidden Land" written on it.

Jinse reached out and pushed the high pole covered with scars, only to hear a "squeak", and then the sign fell tremblingly.

"Get away!" Lu He hurriedly pulled her aside, and the two of them watched the sign fall to the ground, and immediately fell to pieces, but it was a pity that it hadn't been broken into powder yet.

Jin Se suddenly laughed: "Who came up with the idea to put up such a broken sign here, and it's still forbidden, who can stop it?"

Lu He said: "There is a small town a few miles away from here, but this sign has been standing here for so long and has not been destroyed by anyone, which shows that it still has a deterrent effect on the people nearby."

Jinse went up to pick up a fragment of a sign and looked at it, before answering: "In the beginning, Qingyue must have sent people to guard here to prevent outsiders from entering this place, but now it has been more than 20 years, and they live in a corner The Nayi people are almost forgotten by the world, right?"

What's more, the current emperor Su Ran, although Jinse knew that this person's thoughts were unfathomable, but he always felt that he would not bother with the destroyed Nayi clan.As for where his thoughts are spent, probably only he knows.

Jinse put on her skirt and was about to enter the mountain, but Luhe held her back: "This mountain is so big, and it has been deserted for more than 20 years. Just the two of us go in. Whether we can find the place where the Yi people live, I'm afraid we won't even be able to find it." I couldn’t find the road in the old days. I’d better go back to the small town first, find one or two people to go with me, and prepare enough dry food before going into the mountain.”

Jinse reluctantly looked at the high mountain for a few more times, then took Lu He's hand, turned around and walked back, and said with joy, "Lu He, you know, when I come here, I always feel that Mother will definitely protect me."

Lvhe paused, and said, "How much impression do you have of Madam?"

Jinse shook her head: "I don't have many memories, I only vaguely remember some very faint scenes, but I really can't remember the appearance of my mother at all. But I guess my sister should be born like my mother, so my mother My dear must also be very beautiful."

Lu He laughed: "Yeah, I think Madam won't look like you."

Jinse was furious, and rushed to pinch her face.

The people in the nearby town were really afraid of the forbidden area in the mountains, and they kept secrets about it.With great effort, Jinse finally found out that more than ten years ago, the forbidden area was still guarded, and anyone who approached the forbidden area was mercilessly killed, and no one was spared.Even now, ten years later, the locals still have lingering fears and dare not approach the mountain.

It is indeed frightening to add so many killings to a place where thousands of creatures have already been wiped out.

Jinse and Luhe stayed in the small town for another two days, but they couldn't find anyone who was willing to accompany them into the mountains.Moreover, the people in the town looked at them more and more defensively, and almost regarded them as foreign enemies and drove them out of the town.

On the third day, Jinse finally couldn't hold back, and planned to enter the mountain with Luhe alone.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked out of the hostel's house, he saw several galloping horses coming towards them, and stopped in front of them.The people on the horse turned over and got down, all bowed their heads and saluted: "The villain waits to see the girl."

Seeing that these four people were all heroic, Jinse couldn't help but feel stagnant: "Who are you?"

The leader replied: "The villain's name is He Ying, and he belongs to the Hui army under King Ning. The four of us were sent by King Ning to protect the girl."

Hearing this, Jinse was slightly taken aback.Although Su Li's emotions have always been repeated, but Jinse had heard Luhe's story about her coma that day, and only felt that Su Li was really angry this time, and would never turn back easily, but he didn't expect it to be so fast. Someone was sent to protect her.

Lu He sneered at the side, and said: "King Ning really has a heart. But since you are under the command of King Ning, I'm afraid that you will be as virtuous as your master. If you do something desperate, it's better We go into the mountains by ourselves!"

He Ying's expression remained unchanged, and he said: "The villain will surely fulfill his mission if he takes his orders to come here."

Luhe still wanted to say something, Jinse gently tugged at her cuff: "It's important to go into the mountains, let them open the way for us." After speaking, she looked at He Ying and the others, and said, "You guys Get up, everyone."

Only then did He Ying and the others get up, but saw He Ying took out another item from the bundle and handed it to Jinse: "My lord, tell me, this item must be handed over to the girl."

Jinse took it and opened the brocade box outside. When she saw the objects inside, her heart skipped a beat.

That was what she tried to get back after she was shocked to find out that her mother was a member of the Nayi tribe. It was the Nayi script that her mother had personally taught her when she was young with incomplete memories.

How could it be in Zurich?Jinse couldn't believe it, and turned the yellowed pages of the book. When she touched every word written by her mother, she couldn't help but shed tears in her eyes.

Not wanting to be seen as vulnerable by strangers, Jinse turned around and fell on Luhe's shoulder, weeping softly: "Lvhe, look, I just said it, mother will protect me..."

The road to the mountain is naturally bumpy and difficult, but with He Ying and the other four clearing the way ahead, Jinse and Luhe actually made it quite easy.He Ying came prepared, and even brought a map from more than 20 years ago that he did not know where to search, and searched all the way in the direction indicated above where the Nayi people lived.

A group of people walked in the mountains for five full days, and finally a flat and wide area appeared in front of them, but everyone stopped.

It was a large area of ​​ruins, and none of the houses were intact. Between the broken walls and ruins, traces of being burned many years ago could still be vaguely seen.

This is a land poured with countless Nayiren's blood. Here, countless relatives of her may be buried.

After a long silence, Jinse finally let out a long breath: "It's finally here."

Although this settlement has been deserted and devastated, Jinse decided to settle here temporarily.

He Ying and others quickly used the dilapidated house and the mountain forest to build two huts for Jinse and Lvhe to live in. After two days of camping in the dilapidated house with four guards, they finally returned to the house. After building a simple hut, it can be regarded as settling down here.

It was midsummer at this time, but the climate in the mountains was surprisingly good. The weather in July was not hot and dry, nor did it have frequent thunderstorms in summer. Only the sound of rain could be heard occasionally at night. When we woke up in the morning, the weather was fine again. Cool and pleasant.

And this seemingly deserted land, in fact, except for the ruins that still make people feel desolate, all other places show vitality.

In the nearby mountains and forests, there are all kinds of rare trees and fruit trees, most of which are no more than the size of a bowl. It can be seen that they only grew after the Nayi tribe was exterminated. Many times, some Jinse knew each other, but most of them had never seen each other at all.In Jinse's view, this wonderful scene is comparable to Zhongli's Hundred Gardens where flowers bloom all seasons.

And what is amazing is not only these, there are all kinds of rare herbs growing in the mountains and forests. Jinse does not understand medical science, but she also recognizes some rare herbs like Ganoderma lucidum, plus Luhe recognizes some, He Yingsi People can also recognize some of them, but after a few people summed up the herbs that everyone recognized, they were all silent.

The mountain forest where the Yi people live is not only a garden of hundreds of fruits, but also a garden of hundreds of medicines, and these medicines are all rare and rare outside.

At this point, Jinse suddenly understood something—the Nayi people are a nation bred by heaven and earth, and the place where they live gathers the aura of heaven and earth.Such a unique nation, if coupled with the legendary "Tianxia Zhi", would indeed make any ruler uneasy.

Jinse loves this place very much, but when enjoying the peace and beauty here, she feels uneasy in her heart. She always feels that such a place like a fairyland on earth may not be affordable for ordinary people. one of the causes of extinction.

A few days later, Jinse discovered a natural hot spring with a radius of about five feet in the back mountain. This is really a great surprise. Apart from living a peaceful and comfortable life every day, I can also go to the hot spring with Lvhe After taking a bath, and then returning to the residence along the rugged mountain road by moonlight, there is really no more comfortable day than this.

In her free time, Jinse would go alone to the mountains and forests, looking for a branch for lying down and resting, carefully studying the book left by her mother, chewing hard on the strange words in it.

In fact, she was always diligent and eager to learn when she was young. She learned everything her husband taught her very quickly. He always praised her for being smart.It was only after her sister passed away that she became tired of studying, and she stopped reading books, and lived in a daze.

She didn't expect that picking up the book this time would be extremely difficult, and she couldn't remember those weird characters no matter what.Even if I manage to remember a few today, when I wake up the next day, I will always forget them all.

She studied hard for more than half a month, but made no progress, so she simply took the book to Lu He and asked her to read it.

Unexpectedly, Lu He was not like her, she memorized a few words casually that day, and when she woke up the next day, she still remembered them clearly.

Jinse felt sad, and felt that something was wrong with her, and she couldn't even learn the simplest part of the Yi language.

From then on, she threw the book away, but she couldn't help but worry about it, and she was depressed for a long time.

Unexpectedly, she was gloomy, but Lv He looked even more gloomy than her, and often looked absent-minded. Often times when Jinse called her, she had to call several times before she could hear her.

This situation seems very strange to Jinse, because Lv He never seemed to have any worries, but she never thought that living here for a while would make her quite different from before.

The moonlight was gentle, and Jinse was immersed in the warm and pleasant hot spring water. She looked up at the green lotus with a somewhat erratic expression on the opposite side, suddenly picked up a handful of water, and splashed it on the head of the green lotus with a "crash".

Lu He couldn't help screaming, and then looked at her angrily: "What are you doing?"

Jin Se swam to her side, Lu He seemed to be still annoyed by her previous actions, and turned away from her.Jinse felt a little sad in her heart, lay down on the shore, and said in a low voice: "You have something on your mind, but you don't tell me."

After a short pause, Lu He wiped her face and said lightly: "What can I have on my mind, don't make random guesses."

Jinse also paused for a moment, then chuckled and said: "Yes, what's on your mind, I really can't guess if you don't tell me. We grew up together since we were young, and you are only one year older than me, but you seem to be I have never had anything on my mind, and now I finally have it, but you refuse to tell me."

Lu He listened, but just snorted softly: "What's the use of telling you? Wouldn't it be better for you to sort out your own thoughts first?"

Jinse sank slightly, closed her eyes and took a deep breath before she floated up again: "This is really a rare place in the world. Living here is somewhat similar to living in a monastery, but It is more comfortable here than in the monastery, and people’s hearts are more peaceful.”

"Oh?" Lu He finally turned her head to look at her, "Then tell me, what about King Qin and King Ning?"

Jinse tilted her head, with a playful look on her face: "Are you testing me? I don't like exams, so I'll deal with you today."

Lu He looked at her with slightly raised eyebrows, waiting for her answer.

But Jinse said calmly: "I think very clearly, Su Mo is the enemy who harmed my sister. Even if I am willing to annihilate all grievances and enmities now, I still can't change this fact, so why don't you treat him as a stranger. And Su Li, since I promised him life, I will wait for him with peace of mind. Now there are only two years left, whether it is two years or ten years, I will wait for him."

Hearing the words, Lu He seemed to be in high spirits, and turned around and lay down on the bank, facing each other with Jinse facing left and right: "Then you don't care about the Queen Mother forcing Lord Hou to death?"

Jinse's eyes flickered slightly, and Fang said: "I said I don't care, and you won't believe it, right? But you don't know, I always have an idea in my heart, I always feel that my father seems to have predicted that something will happen to me early in the morning. From the very beginning, there was no way out for myself.”

"You mean, even if the Queen Mother doesn't force him, Lord Hou will commit suicide?"

Jinse lowered her eyes slightly: "I am not shrinking back, nor am I making excuses for Su Li. Ever since my father wanted to sever the father-daughter relationship with me, I have had a faint feeling of ominousness. It's just that I didn't understand it at that time. Only then did I vaguely understand. The reason why my father took refuge in Su Li and insisted on me marrying Su Li was actually to find a way out for me. He had expected that sooner or later, the events of that year would be exposed. To keep me, the best way is for him to keep silent and bring this secret to the underworld..."

Lu He looked at her quietly for a moment, and said: "Since you understand, you won't waste the painstaking efforts of Lord Hou."

Jinse slightly hooked the corners of her lips: "But, instead of living in the court so frightened, why didn't my father take me and Erniang to retreat? Even if I begged him later, he would not, and still wanted to Risking his life to stay in the court."

Lu He paused for a moment, before saying: "I'm afraid, Lord Hou won't be able to let Madam's death go."

Jinse heard the words, and the smile on the corner of her mouth became more and more bitter: "I thought about it too. I heard from the old man in the Hou's mansion that although my mother was in love with her father, she was unhappy all day long. Now it seems that she may not be able to let go of the death of her family members, so that Then he died in depression. But if my father really couldn't let go of my mother, and wanted to avenge my mother's people by helping Su Li in rebellion, why did he marry Erniang later? So, I really can't figure it out."

"Don't think about it if you can't figure it out." Lu He patted her on the head, "Now that you can see things openly like this, I am also happy in my heart."

Jin Se stared at her with eyes that were distinct, and after a long time, she suddenly said, "We seemed to be talking about your thoughts just now."

Lu He immediately avoided her eyes, and was about to go ashore as soon as he moved.

Jinse hurriedly stretched out her hand, grabbed her, and then said: "Lu He, tell me the truth, do you have a sweetheart?"

Lu He sneered, took her hand away, and went straight to the shore.

Jinse also got up in a hurry, put on her clothes and followed Lu He's footsteps: "It's not Song Heng, right? We've been back from Zhongli for so long, and you haven't seen anything unusual, but you just started to get worried when you came here." Heavy. So that person is from the capital? Who is it?"

Lu He finally stopped, turned around to look at her, and said calmly: "If I don't want to say it, will you force me?"

"Of course I won't force you." Jinse said, "I'm just afraid that there will be a rift between us. I'm afraid that you have to separate from him because you want to come here with me. I'm afraid that you will be unhappy like this. I made it myself."

Lu He paused for a moment, and finally took a step closer to Jinse, holding her hand.

"Actually, I never thought of locking you by my side." Jinse stared at her and whispered, "I also know that you can't be with me forever. So, if there is someone in your heart, you can go Go to him. You don't have to worry about me, now, I can take care of myself. "

Lu He couldn't help but clenched her hand, and after a long time, said: "Master Hou and Madam have treated me with the kindness of nurturing me, and you and I grew up together, how can we say that we can let go of such a relationship? , if you want to give up for that person, it's really not worth it. He doesn't deserve it. "

Although Jinse had already guessed a little bit, she was still a little surprised to hear Lu He admit that she had someone in her heart: "He betrayed you?"

"It doesn't mean much if we don't mention him." Lu He responded lightly, took her hand and turned to walk back.

"Lvhe." Jinse couldn't help calling her again, Lvhe stopped and looked at her, and she said again, "In the future, if you meet a very good person again, then go with him Let him go, don't worry about me."

"Don't worry, if that person is worth it, I will definitely kick you and follow him without mercy." Lu He returned to her sharp-tongued appearance, and said coldly.

"No conscience!" Jinse cursed with a smile, and the two bickered all the way back to their residence.

Perhaps what the two of them said that night was a bit of a heart-to-heart conversation. Since then, Lu He's mental state has also recovered, although occasionally she still cannot avoid being slightly absent-minded. From Jinse's point of view, it can be regarded as recovery normal.

Entering October, the climate in the mountains has not changed much, and the trees are still full of various fruits. Jinse and Lvhe start to prepare for the winter, lest the mountain will be blocked by heavy snow, it will be inconvenient to go in and out, and there will be no food. Several people will be trapped to death in the mountains.

After they had prepared everything, when the time entered December, all the preparations turned out to be useless—there was no winter in the mountains!
In December, most places in Qingyue should have been bleak from the north and snowed like goose feathers, but this mountain seemed to be separated from the world. The trees were still luxuriant and the climate was pleasant, not much different from autumn.

Jinse couldn't help marveling at such a situation, but at the same time felt that the Nayi tribe was incredible, and couldn't help but think of the legendary "Records of the World", wondering if it really existed?If it really existed, then when the entire Nayi clan was wiped out and all the rare treasures were looted, the "Records of the World" could not be found. Where is it?

Jinse became curious, so she opened the book left by her mother again, and still struggled to read the words on it. Although there was still no progress, she seemed to enjoy it this time, and she did not forget to take it with her when she soaked in the hot spring. Write a book and study it.

On this day, due to the rain at night, the weather was slightly cool, and Luhe stayed in the house and was unwilling to come out, so Jinse ran to the back mountain by herself, and Meimei soaked in the hot spring, letting the spring water dispel the slight coolness , while continuing to study Nayiwen.

The mountains and forests are extremely quiet, occasionally one or two bird calls and the gurgling sound of hot springs can be heard.

In such a natural tranquility, Jinse suddenly heard one or two slight movements, as if—the sound of human footsteps!

Jinse suddenly pricked up her ears and listened attentively.
