    Regarding the question of where the Land of Enlightenment is, although Young Master Shen was very sure, Bao Le failed to guess correctly four times.After about two days of rest and preparation, Shen Wangyan took Shen San, Jun Zhi and Bao Le back to Gu Yu Township again.It was daytime when they went this time, and the bus drove through the deserted path. It was dark last time and didn’t notice that the two sides were full of weeds half the height of a person, and there seemed to be no signs of human habitation.

    There is a thick miasma at the entrance of Guyu Township, and it is easy to get lost. Fortunately, there are signs left by Shen Yan when he was exploring the way.Wearing gas masks, the four of them successfully entered the boundary of Guyu Township after only walking along the marker for half a day.

    At the entrance of the village, Bao Le saw the familiar fishing stone again.It's just that the state of mind at that time and now can be described as two worlds, and the little girl felt mixed feelings for a while.

    During the process of everyone walking into the village, Bao Le started to think about it for the fifth time.

    "The place of enlightenment is under the princess' tomb!" she said.

    Shen Wangyan smiled and asked back, "Did you see it?"

    That must be no, if she saw it, she would enter the soul refining field with them.So, what he meant was that her fifth thought was wrong again.

    Bao Le said unhappily: "Okay, I admit defeat, please ask Teacher Shen to announce the correct answer."

    Shen Wangyan said: "Actually, I have always found it quite strange. I have seen the pure gold double-eared three-legged furnace in the center of the second floor of the Soul Refining Field for a long time. It is indeed a masterpiece of the Warring States Period.I have no doubts about the authenticity of the ground. When I went to pick you up and Jiang Ning later, seeing the layout of the fifth floor, I was even more sure that the prototype of the Soul Refining Field should be an ancient tomb of the Warring States Period."

    Regarding this point, Bao Le had also doubted it, but her point of view coincided with that of Shen Wangyan.

    "You once asked me," Shen Wangyan continued, "why there is a Han-style altar in the center of the tombs in the data, which is clearly the tomb form of the Warring States period. It may be because the construction of the place of enlightenment has a great influence on the Fengshui pattern.According to the high requirements, a suitable place was found in the tomb of the Warring States Period, so the people of the Han Dynasty built a new altar on the basis of it."

    Shen Wangyan led them step by step into Guyu Township. As the surrounding scenery became more and more familiar, Bao Le finally discovered their final destination—the mountain pass from the soul refining field.

    "The land of enlightenment is really in the soul refining field?"

    Bao Le didn't believe it, if it was really that simple, then they worked so hard and sacrificed so many talents to come out, wouldn't it be meaningless at all.Besides, Abu doesn't seem like such a well-meaning person.How could he arrange the real place of enlightenment in the soul refining field that appeared as a trap? Even if it was true, they couldn't possibly be unaware of it.

    However, Young Master Shen did not hesitate, and took the lead in entering the tunnel leading to the soul refining field.

    Bao Le had no choice but to follow quickly.

    On the way, Shen Wangyan asked her a question: "If the soul refining field on the second floor is a trap of the Land of Enlightenment, do you think it's true on the fifth floor?"

    The second layer is all fake, so how can the fifth layer be real?

    Just as Bao Le was about to answer, he suddenly got excited and tasted the question carefully again.Wait, if the entire Soul Refining Field was built based on an ancient tomb of the Warring States Period, then could the fifth floor be the body of the Warring States Tomb... In other words, the second floor is imitated by the charcoal sketches of the Land of EnlightenmentThat picture, but the fifth floor is indeed the place in the photo in the previous data?

    Shen Wangyan saw that she seemed to have realized something, and guessed that with her intelligence, there was no need for him to reveal the final answer to her.

    After a few minutes of walking, they stopped at about 200 meters in the middle of the 500-meter-long corridor.Fortunately, the corridor has been reinforced, and there is no sign of collapse after being shaken by Jiang Ning. This can also be proved from the side, the place where the corridor connects is likely to be a place of enlightenment.Shen Wangyan looked carefully at the wall of the corridor on the right, and stretched out his hand to grope it carefully.

    Bao Le remembered that day, when she went back to rescue Jiang Ning, it seemed that there was indeed a gust of wind blowing from the right.

    But at that time, all her thoughts were on Jiang Ning, and she was confused if she cared about it. If Shen Wangyan hadn't reminded her of this matter today, she might have forgotten it.

    Bao Le, who had guessed everything, also joined in the search for the door.

    Since the wind is blowing from the right, it means that there must be a door on the right.

    With the cooperation of Shen Wangyan and Baole, the door hidden under the wall was slowly pushed open, and the place of enlightenment that had been searched for for so long was finally completely presented in front of everyone.Different from the previous fake land of enlightenment, although the huge furnace in the charcoal sketch did not appear in this tomb, the moment Shen Wangyan and Bao Le saw the furnishings inside, they both got a certain feeling in their minds at the same time.Revelation——

    This is the real place of enlightenment.

    Shen Wangyan took off the gas mask, and was about to remind Bao Le, but the little girl saw his movements, and then took off her mask spiritually.Young Master Shen was speechless, thinking that he wanted to remind her not to pick it up, but looking at Bao Le's expression of "I'm smart, please praise me", the young master couldn't say that.

    Shen Wangyan turned to Jun Zhi and Shen Sandao, "You guys wait here."

    Shen San was still a little worried, but Junzhi nodded, stood to the left, closed his eyes, and got ready to wait.For Shen San, after all, it was the first time for him to come to the Land of Enlightenment with the young master of the Shen family, so experienced Jun Zhi didn't feel nervous, and it seemed that he really didn't have to worry too much.

    Shen San said: "Young master, Xiao Jiang, we are waiting for you here, if you need something, please shout."

    Bao Le answered with tears in her eyes, thinking that with Shen San's words, she would feel more relieved.As a result, when he turned around, Young Master Shen's figure was almost out of sight, so he hurriedly trotted after him.

    ...

    As the two of them stepped into the land of enlightenment, a wall suddenly rose at the exit when they entered, enclosing the two of them.

    The strange thing is that there is obviously no lighting in the tomb, and they didn't take out the flashlights. It is supposed to be a completely dark environment, but they can see clearly.The octagonal tomb structure, a circular platform in the middle, and a one-meter-wide water channel surrounding the platform.Bao Le could even see the sparkling light reflected off the water.

    But there is no light source in this tomb.

    She didn't seem to see all this with her eyes, but she seemed to feel it from her heart if she had to say it.

    So for the things in the Land of Enlightenment, people will have a feeling that is a hundred times clearer than simply seeing with the eyes.

    As for the murals on the eight walls, Bao Le finally had the opportunity to witness it with his own eyes, and they were indeed exactly the same as the ones she took in the princess tomb.Judging from the pigments and painting forms of the murals, it is preliminarily judged that they were handed down at the end of the Han Dynasty.Although it is a long time ago, it is still relatively complete today, which should have benefited from the preliminary repair work of the predecessors of the archaeological team at the beginning of the last century.

    The little girl was looking at the mural, when she suddenly heard the sound of something falling into the water, she quickly pulled Shen Wangyan.

    The two looked towards the canal in the center, and were shocked to find that there was something under the water.

    The whole body of that thing is silvery white, its tail looks like a blooming hibiscus, and it looks like a fish from its physical appearance.This thing is familiar with Bao Le, isn't it the thing marked in the charcoal sketch, which confirms the authenticity of the land of enlightenment.

    Jiang Ning came out of the soul-inducing umbrella and whistled in a good mood.

    "Hurry up, what should I do?" Bao Le urged her, "The air here is not good."

    Jiang Ning asked her: "Did you bring a pen?"

    The little girl nodded. After all, Shen Wangyan said before that she was not sure whether the final restoration of the eight murals had nothing to do with restoration in the traditional sense, so she still brought some basic tools.For tools such as pens and brushes, she brought more than a dozen of them by model.

    Jiang Ning gave Shen Wangyan a look.

    The young master of the Shen family silently took out a folding knife. This knife looks very strange. It is different from ordinary folding knives. It has two folding handles. When the blade is opened, they are joined together, a bit like the wings of a butterfly..Bao Le has heard that there is an atypical pocket knife, which is different from the ordinary pocket pocket knife, and its appearance design and function are more exquisite.

    This kind of knife has a name - Butterfly|Knife.The name was first taken from a small town called Balisong in Batangas, Philippines. It is said that the skills of this unique knife were passed down from generation to generation by their ancestors.

    Long story short, the reason why Bao Le has an impression of Butterfly|Knife is because he has seen a few videos.When this thing turns, it's really handsome and cool, and it's a blast to watch.

    Just like what Young Master Shen is doing now - he put the butterfly|knife in his right hand and turned the knife in a fancy way. Although the blade passed across his fingers several times, it didn't hurt him at all.Butterfly | The knife starts and turns, and the rotation speed is fast and crisp.

    Bao Le applauded: "Boss Shen is not showing true self!"

    Shen Wangyan threw the Butterfly|Knife towards Bao Le, while holding the handle of the knife so that the tip of the knife pointed directly at Bao Le.

    The little girl quickly surrendered: "I'm complimenting you!"

    "Does it look good, Jun Zhi taught it."

    The young master showed a proud face, and it could be seen that although he was very good at playing swordsmanship now, it was because of the hard work he had put into practice.Shen Wangyan finished showing off, and then asked her, "Is there a paint tray?"

    Bao Le swallowed: "Is a stone mortar and mortar okay?"

    "Anything is fine."

    After getting an affirmative answer, the little girl stretched her backpack, and finally took out a palm-sized mortar from the corner, which was used to grind paint.But this time she mainly brought ready-made paints, which didn't need grinding, so her mortar was the smallest one.

    Shen Wangyan raised the hand holding the butterfly|knife, and swiped at the palm of his left hand, blood beads rolled from his palm into the stone mortar and mortar.

    His wound was just the opposite of Jun Zhi's, it was of a constitution that was not easy to heal, so he bled for a long time, and the mortar that was half full or a little more was filled.Bao Le just felt very painful just looking at it, and Jiang Ning also had the same thought, she was so distressed that her eyes almost went straight, and she even sucked her saliva.

    After bleeding, Young Master Shen bandaged himself briefly.

    "Let Jiang Ning teach you the rest."

    After saying this, Shen Wangyan strode across the ditch behind him and walked to the center of the platform.He looked up, revealing the beautifully curved white neck under the beige sweater. He didn't know what he was looking at.

    Jiang Ning said to Bao Le: "Let's go, I'll teach you how to open the Land of Enlightenment."

    The eight murals in the tomb are relatively complete, no matter in terms of the glossiness of the paint or the integrity of the preservation, so Bao Le doesn't quite understand what she needs to restore.In this way, the restoration of murals is not in the traditional academic sense, but more likely through some kind of ceremony.

    Jiang Ning and she first walked to the mural of Wangchuan Naihe Bridge.

    Jiang Meiren asked Bao Le: "What do you think is the subject of this painting?"

    Bao Le just wanted to answer.

    "The subject I'm talking about is not the subject in the sense of a painting," Jiang Ning reminded her again, "but something that needs to be experienced with heart. If this painting doesn't have such a thing, there is no need for it to exist, a subject in this sense.Do you understand what I mean?"

    She didn't understand, but the little girl already had the answer in her heart, and she was very sure.

    Bao Le said, "The other shore flower."

    Jiang Ning smiled slightly, very satisfied with her answer, and at the same time pointed to the one next door.Bao Le is also familiar with this painting, it is the one of a group of relatively small people kneeling down to a giant."What about this?" Jiang Meiren asked again.

    Bao Le tilted his head, didn't think for a long time, and there was another answer: "Bell."

    Jiang Ning said with emotion: "You are indeed the most suitable candidate."

    The little girl blinked in confusion, she couldn't understand this sentence even more.

    "Now that you know what the main body of the mural is," Jiang Meiren gave Bao Le the seat with a smile, "then let's do it, try it, use Shen Wangyan's blood to outline these things."

    Is it so powerful? Bao Le was skeptical, so he just evenly stained the brush with the blood in the mortar.

    When raising her hand, the little girl paused for a moment, and said helplessly, "I can't reach it at my height."

    This mural is eight meters high, and she is not even 1.7 meters tall!When Jiang Ning used the sword in the soul-inducing umbrella to carve murals before, she did it with the help of a load-bearing pillar. She didn't think she had this kind of skill.And it’s fine if there’s only one string of bells. In this mural with the flowers of the other shore, there might be hundreds if not a thousand flowers. Just this bit of blood may not be able to fully outline this one.

    Jiang Ning thought about what she said was indeed reasonable.

    Jiang Meiren said: "Open the soul-inducing umbrella."

    Bao Le looked at her suspiciously, then put the mortar in his hand on the ground, held the brush in one hand, and opened the white umbrella with the other.A miraculous scene appeared, and Bao Le found that the umbrella was floating upwards by itself.Although she wasn't heavy, she obviously didn't have the arm strength to lift herself up with one hand. Just when she thought she was going to fall, she subconsciously closed her eyes.

    Then Jiang Ning also flew into the air and appeared near her.

    "You can't fall," Jiang Meiren said with a smile, "I am supporting you with my soul power."

    Bao Le felt it with her body, and there was no feeling of falling, so she slowly opened her eyes again.At that time, she was almost five meters above the ground, and her body was very light, as if she could fly.Although she is not afraid of heights, no one is not afraid of being so high off the ground.So this kind of feeling is very strange, moving up, down, left, and right is all based on the mind, and there is really an illusion that you can fly, so even if it is a few meters above the ground, it will not make people feel scared.

    The little girl who discovered the New World flew back and forth excitedly for a while, and then, under Jiang Ning's unbearable reminder, she remembered the business.

    Bao Le took up the pen again, randomly picked a Bianhua flower on the mural, and began to outline the outline seriously.

    Just as she finished drawing the Bianhua flower and put down the last stroke, the mural in front of her suddenly shone with light.It seems that she doesn't need to tick all the flowers of the other side, just one.The original stone wall is like the surface of a lake, forming a ripple from the end of the pen and spreading outward.When the ripples disappeared, the whole mural came alive.

    The water of the Forgotten River suddenly flowed eastward from the solidified state, and the believers in white on the Naihe Bridge also followed the original track and worked hard to cultivate the Ten Mile Flower Corridor by the river.

    Although this is the second time have seen this scene, Bao Le still feels that the world is so big and full of wonders.

    Jiang Ning whistled.

    It was rare for her to praise Bao Le in a good mood: "You did a good job."

    ...

    After mastering the skills, Bao Le found that everything became very simple.The sequence determines the subjects of the murals in turn, and these subjects may be bells, guqin, scepters, or some kind of totem.The biggest one is the one-winged and one-legged firebird saw last time. It looks like a phoenix but is not a phoenix. More than half of blood was used to paint it, but fortunately, it is also the last painting.

    After all the eight murals came to life, the entire tomb was as bright as day.

    The ceiling of the tomb was suddenly opened by something, and a beam of light poured from top to bottom on the circular altar in the center, completely enveloping Shen Wangyan inside.Before this beam of light appeared, Jiang Ning returned to the soul-inducing umbrella, and the soul-inducing umbrella slowly landed on the ground with Bao Le.

    When she touched the ground, the original floor tiles disappeared, and the entire ground was like a mirror, reflecting the moving murals on the eight sides.

    But when Bao Le bent down to look at it, she found that there was no reflection of her in the mirror.

    Before he could figure out what was going on, something came out of the ground, which startled Bao Le.At first glance, it was a black ribbon.But when she took a closer look, she realized that where was the ribbon, there were clearly countless black characters, and the characters were connected to each other to form a black collection like a ribbon.She didn't know the characters above, they were not Chinese characters, nor were they ancient Chinese, nor were they English or other foreign languages.

    It's just a kind of... word.

    When Bao Le wanted to reach out to touch these words, countless tapes of words jumped out from the ground, and hundreds of tapes of words eroded, wrapped, surrounded and filled this huge space in an instant.space.

    Those words that are automatic without wind are like countless streamers, decorating the originally quite empty tomb with black.

    Bao Le looked at Shen Wangyan, there were no such words on the central platform where he was, although he also saw the situation on her side.

    The young master of the Shen family smiled slightly at her.

    Suddenly, a silver fish jumped out of the ditch. Before the fish fell into the water, it transformed into a dragon in the air, and then changed from a dragon to a human.The figure is dressed in a robe embroidered with hibiscus, and the face is covered by a veil, but judging by the headdress it appears to be a woman.The woman walked up to Shen Wangyan, prostrated herself on the ground, and raised her hands towards him in a very respectful manner, not even daring to look him directly.

    Not long after that, another goldfish jumped out of the ditch. Like the whitebait before, this fish transformed into a dragon and became an adult.It's just that this person is wearing a gown embroidered with gourds, covering his face, and he looks like a man in terms of body shape.The man also walked up to Shen Wangyan, raising his hands respectfully like a woman.

    This scene reminded Bao Le of what Shen San had said in the false enlightenment land.

    After jumping over the dragon gate, the fish turned into a dragon and transformed into a messenger of heaven, perhaps conveying some kind of message to the world.

    The surrounding black ribbons slowly began to vibrate violently. Bao Le watched them swim towards the central platform at the same time. The closer they got to the center, the looser the strings made up of characters became. After breaking through the critical point, all the characters broke in an instant.The original restraint trajectory became disorganized.

    Several different characters jumped out of the sea of characters, and after they were confirmed by the two people in front of Shen Wangyan, they formed a brand new tape.

    Between their raised hands, a long scroll appeared.

    Shen Wangyan stroked the scroll with his hand, and the black words invaded his body through his fingertips.

    Bao Le opened his mouth wide in shock—one word after another emerged under Shen Wangyan's fair skin, and these words flowed through his body like blood.He raised his head and looked in her direction.The little girl discovered that the right half of Young Master Shen's face was slowly being eroded by something made of jade. This erosion did not stop until his entire right face turned white.

    This scene was so weird that she almost thought she was hallucinating.

    After rubbing her eyes seriously, the little girl opened them again.

    However, everything she saw just now disappeared completely in the blink of an eye.

    The tomb is still the dark tomb, and the young master Shen on the central platform is still the same young master Shen. There are no characters on his body, and there is no face that has turned into white jade. The two messengers turned into fish have disappeared.Bao Le was taken aback for a moment, and when he looked back, he saw that even the eight murals behind him had returned to silence.

    Everything seems to be just a sweet dream.

    As Bao Le strode towards Shen Wangyan, Jiang Ning also came out from the umbrella again.

    Young Master Shen looked down at his hands, not knowing what he was thinking, when he saw them coming, he raised his head and smiled gently.

    "It's a lot simpler than you think," he said.

    "It's the first time I said that." Jiang Ning disagreed.

    Bao Le was very nervous, she even wanted to check Shen Wangyan from beginning to end: "Those words..."

    Shen Wangyan said with a smile: "This is the Shen family's Yin-Yang Dao book, which is essentially the same thing as the Aisang people's memorized script. It's just that I can't fully understand the words I got just now."

    So these words are what Shen Wangyan said before, the way of heaven gave something that can spy on the secrets of heaven?

    Is it really that simple?

    Under the suspicious eyes of the little girl, Young Master Shen said helplessly: "No matter what, let's go out first."

    Rolling his eyes, Bao Le finally chose to suppress his curiosity and agreed with him.

    At this point, the story can actually come to a successful conclusion.

    No matter how much hardship we endured and how much we paid, the ultimate goal of this trip to Ya'an has been achieved.For Shen Wangyan, his life trajectory has since moved towards his destined direction.For Bao Le, she also inadvertently opened a door called destiny.

    Many lines that shouldn't have intersected have rewritten their direction at this moment. No one can predict what the future will hold.

    But there is something less important about this story that I thought you might want to know.
