Now that Xia Ziying had no objections, Mu Lianlong discussed the course of action with the spirit guardians. Since the snow mountain was covered with ice and snow for thousands of years, it was not suitable for walking, so two spirit guardians were specially sent to protect the two of them.

After the discussion, they started to set off. When they came, they lost all their equipment. Now they have nothing, so the elder gave each of them an ice skate for climbing, and then gave them a piece of fur. Clothes to make sure you don't get frostbitten.

After the preparations were completed, the group began to march towards the mountain.

It snows all year round in the snow mountain, and the wind is fierce. At a glance, the sky is full of snow, which is beautiful with a touch of sadness.When I came to the foot of the mountain, I felt the hugeness of the snow mountain. The towering snow mountain is as high as a thousand feet, and it is very steep. Inadvertently being crushed by an avalanche on the mountain, that is the explanation of this life.

The Mysterious Bird of Destiny, a mysterious existence, Xia Ziying looked at the misty mountain top, imagining the scenery on the top of the snow mountain, and couldn't help but fell into deep thought, why the mysterious bird of Destiny was sealed on the top of the snow mountain and was still under protection. Willing to guard it for generations, is it just because it is a mythical and legendary existence.It is impossible to explore now, maybe some things have created the fate of their descendants as early as the beginning.

Under the orders of the elders, the young people of the clan climbed up first, watching their vigorous figures shuttle back and forth on the snow mountain, Xia Ziying suddenly felt a little illusion, as if this matter itself was not a heavy matter , if you look at it with the sunshine of appreciation, it is a moving picture.

"Wan Ru, be careful later, I will tie you and my body together with a rope later, in case anything happens to you." Mu Lianlong looked at the intoxicated Xia Ziying and said.While talking, the corners of her eyes rolled unconsciously, as if she was afraid of getting the answer she least wanted. Xia Ziying turned her head and just said in a normal way: "Thank you."

Mu Lianlong nodded, smiled slightly, and prepared the rope to be used later.

Looking at his busy back there, there is a trace of warmth in my heart. I could stay together, but because of the so-called fate, I hated him for no reason. Very strange feelings.

It's hate, but it looks very innocent; it's pain, but it looks very pale.It's love, but I don't know how to start it.

Wandering endlessly in my mind, so that sometimes I can't face him seriously. At the foot of the vast snow mountain, there are snowflakes floating in the sky, but it's a pity that I saw it for the last time.

Forget it, no matter how much hatred or pain or love there is, after reaching the top of the snow mountain, everything will be reduced to nothingness, and will disappear without a trace.

"Wan Ru, what are you thinking? It's our turn." When Xia Ziying was contemplating, a familiar voice suddenly sounded in her ears.

"Oh, um, let's go!" Waking up from her contemplation, she immediately covered up her embarrassment, and hurriedly walked to the side of the rope hanging from the snow mountain.

"Wan Ru, wait, tie the rope, safety first." Mu Lianlong shouted eagerly from behind.

"Oh, I forgot. Thank you." Xia Ziying suddenly thanked very politely.

Mu Lianlong didn't say anything, he knew that in this woman's heart, he was now an out-and-out bastard, a liar who deceived his feelings and conscience.So no matter how Wanru treats himself, he has no complaints or regrets. These are the prices he should bear and pay.

After Mu Lianlong passed by, he tied the rope to Xia Ziying's soft waist, sniffing the familiar smell, he didn't feel that he was getting closer, but Xia Ziying subconsciously stepped back.Mu Lianlong looked up at her, "I'll help you tie it firmly." Xia Ziying stopped moving and let Mu Lianlong tie the rope.

After tying the rope, he looked at her and said with concern: "Be careful."

Xia Ziying nodded silently.

The elders on one side saw that these two people suddenly looked like two different people, so they couldn't help looking at them with strange eyes.I don't know what misunderstanding there was between them, why they suddenly became like two strangers.

The middle-aged men of the Guardian Spirit Clan hammered iron nails down one by one on the high place of the snow-capped mountain, and then threw them down after tying them with ropes. Logically, they are also very strong. As long as there are no accidents with the ropes, nothing will happen.

It is also the first time for Mu Lianlong to climb a snow mountain. After all, he is a man, and his physical strength is several times stronger than Xia Ziying's, so his speed is much faster than Xia Ziying's. When he climbed up by himself, he grabbed the rope with one hand and lifted it up. , to help Xia Ziying go up, and with his help along the way, after two hours, he finally arrived halfway up the mountain safely.

Halfway up the mountain was on a relatively flat ground, just enough space for five or six people to stand. After the elder was pulled up, he took out a purple-red box, opened it, and took out a sparkling The luminous bead, this bead looks dazzling to everyone at this time, you can't tell how big it is, it is very dazzling consciously, and with the wind and snow drifting, it looks blurred and erratic.

I saw that he entered the bead and slowly approached the rock wall of the snow mountain, and the frozen covering layer slowly dissolved, gradually revealing the original color of the rock.

Then he put the bead in the air, and the bead actually stagnated in mid-air. The elder folded his fingers together and slowly put it near his mouth, chanting a mantra, and a hole appeared on the rock wall that was slowly melted by the bead, like a It was like a small door, you only need to bend down to enter, the hole appeared in front of you, the elder looked at the two of them with a smile on his face, and made a gesture of invitation with a smile.

Xia Ziying and Mu Lianlong looked at each other, and Mu Lianlong got in first.Seeing Mu Lianlong go in, Xia Ziying also followed closely. The inside is not completely dark, but a very crystal bright color, as if the light is refracted through the ice covering it. As for this rock Why it is also transparent, she has no way of knowing.

This is a meandering path upwards. The inside is artificially built. It is very difficult to see the construction. There are some murals on the walls on both sides, and there are some incomprehensible words, which follow the The text I read in the hole in the foggy forest is basically the same.

"What are these paintings?" Xia Ziying asked curiously. Mu Lianlong suddenly stopped, took a closer look, and suddenly the corner of his mouth twitched: "It seems to be describing something. They are paired next to each other, very coherent, maybe this is the story about the mysterious bird of destiny."

After hearing Mu Lianlong's words, Xia Ziying started to look at the first mural. The first mural was engraved with a chaotic picture, which looked a bit like a piece of dust together.

The next picture is that suddenly a huge ax appeared between the sky and the earth, splitting them, and suddenly the turbid things began to fall, and the light things began to float.When sinking and rising, five rocks of different colors suddenly appeared between the sky and the earth. They have been wrapped in chaos, and after being split, they appeared. The five rocks exude different colors. Cyan, white, orange, red, blue.These five colors just floated in mid-air, and have been floating for several murals. It seems that these five rocks have been floating for a long time.

In the mural in the middle, the five rocks exploded one after another.Transformed into the legendary beasts, Qinglong, Baihu, Suzaku, Xuanwu, and the mysterious bird of destiny.

Afterwards, the scene on the mural was exactly the same as what Mu Lianlong knew. It seemed that the legend was true. After reading it, Mu Lianlong realized that his father had not deceived himself anymore. messenger.

After reading the murals, Mu Lianlong remained silent, didn't say a word, just stared blankly at the murals, as if he had heard a rather mysterious story.

Xia Ziying liked to listen to her father tell her some mysterious legends since she was a child, God's will tricks people, but now she has really fallen into this legend, and it is a legend that has been passed down from ancient times.

"Is this the responsibility that your family has been fulfilling since ancient times?" Xia Ziying asked suddenly. This was the first time that Xia Ziying asked him actively since she went up the mountain.

"Yes, this is the responsibility that our family is destined to pass down from generation to generation." Mu Lianlong sighed for no reason.

"What will happen if you don't fulfill this responsibility for generations?" Xia Ziying continued to ask.

"Do you know how many years my father has not been in court?" Mu Lianlong asked suddenly.Xia Ziying didn't say a word, just looked at him, she had not been in this era for more than a year, how could she know that Emperor Mu hadn't been in court for many years.

"It's been 20 years." Mu Lianlong said suddenly.

"No, didn't you go to court a few days ago and saw your father?" Xia Ziying asked curiously.

"Hehe, if the monarch of a country does not go to court for 20 consecutive years, you probably can't imagine what it will look like. Every time the ministers see that person is not the real body of my father, it is just with The puppet of my father's human leather mask, every time he goes to court, he only symbolically propagates some policies and intentions, and the real father has been trapped in the palace's bedroom. For 20 years, there has never been a moment without pain." Mu Lian As Long spoke, he began to sob, and the uncomfortable expression immediately spread to his entire face.

"Why? Is there something unspeakable?" Xia Ziying asked curiously.

Mu Lianlong stopped the painful expression, suppressed it with difficulty, and then said, "This is a strange disease inherited from generation to generation. The moment every prince is born, the beginning of pain is doomed. We only need to have it after we get married. Later generations, this disease will show up, every night at three o'clock, the whole body will be in pain, and the face will be even more painful, it is a kind of pain and itching from the bottom of the heart, and it is unbearable every moment."
