Interstellar: Condor Heroes

4. Tomb of the Living Dead

at the foot of zhongnan mountain

Lorraine sat on a stone bench under the pine and ate steamed buns with water. When she turned her head, she suddenly saw a stone tablet behind the pine, covered by long grass, revealing the word "Changchun".Lorraine's heart moved, and when she walked over to brush the grass to look at it, what was inscribed on the stele was a poem by Changchunzi Qiu Chuji, which said:

"The sky is dark and the earth is descending, why don't you save all the souls? All the souls are lingering day and night, swallowing their breath and dying speechless. They look up to the sky and shout that the sky should not answer. Every trivial thing is in vain. Safe enough to return to chaos, so as to avoid Teach creatures to make elves."

After seeing this poem, Lorraine couldn't help but feel more fortunate that she had read the novel version of the original work, otherwise she would be a little white, her eyes darkened, and she would not know anything. This poem was written by Qiu Chuji to encourage his disciples because of the hardships of the world. If you study art with heart, you will achieve great success in the future and benefit the world.

He said indignantly, "Hmph, but no matter what, they are all hypocrites, and they will definitely vent their anger on Xiao Longnv's behalf in the future."

Suddenly, someone behind him said "Hey", the tone seemed to be very surprised.Looking back, I saw two middle-aged Taoist priests standing at the gate of the mountain, staring intently, with a look of anger on their faces. I must have taught them to listen to what I accidentally said just now.

"Who are you? How dare you speak out against Quanzhen's sect and slander us?"

The two Taoist priests looked at each other, and before Zhao Luolin could answer, they left the temple.Luo Lin saw that the two walked lightly, obviously possessing martial arts, and thought that this place is not far from Zhongnan Mountain, these two people are probably from the Chongyang Palace.Both of them were around forty years old, or they were disciples of Quanzhen Seven Masters.

Immediately, the soles of his feet strengthened, and he rushed out of the mountain gate, only to see the two Taoist priests were already running more than ten zhang away, but they couldn't help looking back.

Seeing that she was about to stay away from her, Lorraine hurriedly shouted: "Two fellow Taoists, wait a minute. I have something to ask you about this unintentional move." I thought I would ask you to settle the matter slowly. Her clear voice resounded around and could be heard far and near. , the two roads did not stop, but walked even faster.Lorraine thought to herself: "Are these two people deaf? Pretend they can't hear you." Immediately, she mustered up all her strength and ran towards them, "May I ask where the tomb of the living dead is?" "I'm going, I'm so tired, I forgot this is the world of martial arts"

Unexpectedly, the second ear tip heard the ancient tomb, and stopped back and said in surprise, "Why are you looking for the tomb of the living dead?"

"Hey, I'm not here to apprentice. I heard that the ancient tomb is only for women, and I only know that it's on Zhongnan Mountain. I don't know the details. I don't know. You can tell me so that you can let me know." Huh, tell me, maybe you will eat less in the future some flesh and blood

The two thought for a while and said, "That is the forbidden area of ​​my Chongyang Palace. I advise Gu Liang not to go there, but you want to be a teacher, so you might as well tell you that this tomb is in the forest on the west side of Chongyang Palace, but I can't tell you the exact location."

"Okay, thank you fellow daoists, I'll just resign from both of you, I won't send you off" I thought I'd just put on a show, who wouldn't, but I know that the position is probably good

Lorraine walked around in the mountains, and couldn't help wanting to be rough. She walked and watched, but she didn't see anyone until dawn. Zhao Luolin felt overly nervous.

"Fuck!" She looked up to the sky and scolded, looking at the damned weedy mountain road, there was not even a human figure, didn't she say there was an ugly old woman!As she was walking, a hale and hearty old lady came to meet her, and she saw that she was the person she missed. This made Lorraine, who hadn't seen anyone for a long time, couldn't help but stop the person, choking slightly: "Grandma, I It was hard to find you, why did you come here?"

The old woman was taken aback by the messy Guliang, but she still said gently, "Why is Guliang here? We don't seem to know each other. What can you do with me?"

"Wow, mother-in-law, my grandma passed away not long ago, and I was left alone in this world. I was originally a 'weak woman'. I don't know why I came here. There was no sign. I was hungry for days. , I have nowhere to go, woo woo woo" Listening to the soft voice of the old woman, Lorraine burst into grief, thinking about her two time travels, thinking about her tragic fate, thinking that she might never be able to go home, The more he thought about it, the sadder he became, and he started to cry. He had never cried before in the interstellar world, so it was obvious that he was extremely sad.

The old woman was very frightened by Lorraine, she hadn't been like this before, but now she burst into tears, seeing the grievance on her face covered with tears, the fluffy hat was slanted on her head, matching the pair of watery eyes Her blue eyes looked very pitiful, and she couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.So the scary-looking face became even more kind, and he couldn't help but softly said: "Gu Liang, don't be too sad, if you have any grievances, I will tell the old lady, maybe I can help one or two."

Lorraine cried even more when she heard the old woman's words. Since the orphanage, no one has ever spoken to her so tenderly!Not to mention that after traveling to the interstellar world, I had to endure the discomfort and had to face all dangers bravely and bravely. To the extreme, he hugged the old woman fiercely and burst into tears.

Seeing her crying harder, the old woman couldn't bear it, so she hugged her slowly and stroked her back to comfort her.

It wasn't until a long time after coming here that Lorraine slowly regained her strength. She had never lost her composure before. When she remembered crying in the old woman's arms just now, she suddenly felt ashamed. She slowly raised her head and looked at the ugly old woman in front of her. Although ugly, but the eyes are soft, the face is kind, and I feel very kind.

Seeing that Lorraine stopped crying, the old woman looked at herself blushingly, feeling a little relieved. Seeing Lorraine's profound features and handsome features, her blue eyes were wet from crying, like an abandoned puppy, I feel pity when I see it, and I feel even more tender-hearted, and her beauty is not inferior to that of the dragon mushroom in the ancient tomb, unlike the dragon mushroom that does not eat fireworks and is cold all year round.But she is more humane than her, and more eccentric.She immediately liked Lorraine from the bottom of her heart, and felt very cute.So he asked: "What's Gu Liang's name? How come I come to this wilderness alone, and I'm not afraid of meeting bad people!" Luo Lin wiped away her tears and said with a smile: "My name is Luo Lin, it's good for my mother-in-law to call me Luo Luo. I wandered here for a long time, lost my way, didn't see anyone, felt very uncomfortable, and couldn't control my excitement when I saw my mother-in-law. I know that you are a good person, mother-in-law. When Luo Luo saw you, she felt kind and kind.

Let the mother-in-law see the joke, so I dare to ask the mother-in-law's name, so that I have someone to think about in my heart."

The old lady smiled and said, "Okay, Luoluo, my surname is Sun, and I'm just a servant. If you don't mind, just call me Grandma Sun." Then she said, "Where are you going? Why are you alone in this mountain?" ?” She looked at the man who had nothing but clothes on.

Lorraine trembled and said: "I don't know where I'm going, my home is gone, and my family has already passed away, maybe I'm wandering around."

When Grandma Sun heard that Luo Lin was very pitiful, she thought that she was an orphan and a homeless person, so she felt more pity for her, so she comforted her: "Lolo, don't be too sad, you If you don't mind, go to the ancient tomb with the old lady and I will talk to Long Guliang and let you stay with me in the ancient tomb, what do you think?" Yes, you may not be used to it, but no matter what, I will beg Long Guliang to take you in, so don't worry."

Hearing this, Lorraine couldn't help but smiled sweetly and said, "Hee hee, mother-in-law, you are so kind to me" (this is the duty of releasing the coolness of the earth)

Grandma Sun smiled and took Lorraine's hand, then walked back.She saw that Lorraine's footsteps were heavy, she seemed to have no internal strength, she probably didn't know martial arts, and she thought to herself that a weak woman (weak??) is still so beautiful, what if she meets a thief?He couldn't help but hold her hand tightly, leading her to walk slowly together.

After Grandma Sun arranged Lorraine's bedroom, it was already sunset, and the ancient tomb was completely dark

"Hungry, drink some honey syrup. This is what we raised by ourselves. It's too late. We'll rest today. I'll take you to see Longgu Liang tomorrow." Granny Sun said kindly and gently, looking at Lorraine's tired expression.

After drinking the honey syrup, Lorraine's eyelids couldn't help but she fell asleep on the stone bed in a daze

Grandma Sun looked at the person who had fallen asleep, and gently covered Lorraine with a thin quilt. Seeing that she couldn't wait to wrap herself in the quilt, she couldn't help but softly said, "Go to sleep, child, I will cook a chicken for you tomorrow." , have to nourish the body"

Take care of Lorraine and go to bed. Grandma Sun went out to prepare ingredients. The chicken must be stewed early, fresh...
