"The smoke sinks into the cold water, the gauze curtains are covered with moonlight, and light mist rolls in. The shallow mountains are picturesque, and the courtyard is sparsely drizzled...

Wandering around in the clouds for amusement, dreaming back to a desolate place at midnight, vaguely... what year it is...".

It seemed that there was a faint sound of a piano, an ancient fragrance, melodious, and lingering. Lan Tianxing followed the direction in which the music came from and kept searching.

A trace of mist on the horizon has not yet dissipated. Rose-colored clouds are reflected on the flowing springs and waterfalls on the cliff. In the dazzling and dazzling halo of colorful neon lights, a woman with long hair and a white skirt is stroking the piano.

string.

The melodious melody flows from her slender fingers, with a hint of loneliness and lovesickness.

"Dream? Meng'er... Meng'er, it's Tianxing, I finally found you..." Lan Tianxing flashed and wanted to rush up the cliff. He found his Meng'er and he wanted to take her home.

.

A bunch of green and soft branches bounced off the cliff and stood in front of him. Lan Tianxing sidestepped and tried to move the branches away. He didn't want to waste time on a tree.

Unexpectedly, the bunch of branches swayed in the wind, and the silver light suddenly appeared. In an instant, a huge ivy tree covered the entire cliff, and the dense branches and leaves also isolated the melodious sound of the piano, and the sky suddenly became dark.

It got dark.

Chen Meng's floating long hair and white dress gradually faded out of his sight, and only the chaotic clouds and mist lingered in front of him.

"Meng'er, my... Meng'er..." When Lan Tianxing woke up, the sky had just dawned. Huatang stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and looked out at the sea view, seeming to be thinking about something. Kangran sat in front of the tea table holding a painting.

The hand-drawn map I am looking at is a sketch that Huatang drew based on the pictures he saw in the old well in the old house.

Opposite Lan Tianxing, Rose King looked at him with her cheek in hand, and asked with a smile, "Young master, are you awake? Did you sleep comfortably? I heard you shouting all the time, did you dream of your wife?".

"Oh... um! Why did I... fall asleep?" Only then did Lan Tianxing realize that he was leaning on the sofa with a thin blanket covering him. He looked like he had just woken up.

Yesterday, Xiang Guang sent back news that he was almost certain that the area shrouded in thick fog was the 'Pear Blossom Valley' he had been looking for. However, they walked around the valley because of the tangible scene that could be seen in front of them.

Four days, almost a repeat of the journey twice, still failed to find the passage into the valley.

Xiang Guang also searched carefully and in all directions according to the map Ji Lang sent him, but the fog at the edge of the valley was too thick and could not be blown away by the wind no matter day or night, so it was easily swallowed up after entering.

They also tried to explore several times, but after entering, they completely lost their direction and could only go around in circles. In the end, they all returned in vain. After nearly a week, they still could not find a passage or a gap in the valley that could allow people to enter.

Able to rest on the periphery and wait for orders.

Since the disciples below couldn't figure it out, they could only take action personally, as the overlords, so Kang Ran and Huatang also rushed over to work out an action time and route, and come up with an action plan based on the specific situation of the valley.

An effective response plan to achieve their desired goals while minimizing accidents.

Because that area had just experienced a major earthquake, there would be aftershocks at any time. They had to ensure that they could enter the valley in absolute safety and escape safely after finding things, so many details had to be planned very accurately.

Just fine.

But when Kang Ran and Hua Tang, who came to help him, were busy preparing for the operation, he unexpectedly fell asleep.

"Your condition is not very good. I put some calming powder in your tea..." Rose King said again, "That valley is so strange and dangerous. You should take a good sleep to adjust your condition. Otherwise, if an accident occurs, what will happen?

How to deal with emergencies and ensure the safety of brothers?".

"Oh...sister, you are right..." Lan Tianxing smiled helplessly. Everything the Rose King did was for his benefit. Even if he was impulsive sometimes, it was reasonable. He couldn't say more.

Can't even blame.

Lan Tianxing opened the window and blew the sea breeze for a while before he woke up a little. The dream just now was very sad. His dream was right in front of him, but he tried his best and still couldn't catch her, but she was so close.

Let him miss it.

Is it because the legendary time has not come yet or because his dream is too shallow to touch the real her, but no matter what the reason is, the close distance between them is truly insurmountable

So close and so far away!

"Tian Xing, are you... worried?" Rose King came over and put his arm around his shoulder, asking with concern, "Don't think too much, no matter what happens, it can be solved!".

Huatang turned to Lan Tianxing and smiled. Maybe everyone thought he should have a good sleep and did not blame him for neglecting the guests. Moreover, no one seemed to regard themselves as guests who could not be neglected.

After studying for a long time, Kangran suddenly pointed to a gap in the valley on the map and asked Huatang, "Master, what direction is this supposed to be? Why can't I seem to understand...".

"Oh? Hmm... I don't understand either!" Hua Tang stood behind him and looked over, but he only glanced twice and shook his head.

He didn't know much about this area and couldn't give any constructive suggestions. He just restored the information he saw on the well wall of the old house based on his memory. As for what the information contained, he couldn't interpret it.

"Sister Mei, what do you think?" Kangran had no choice but to ask again. Lan Tianxing was mentally and physically exhausted at this time and he didn't want him to be too tired, so this question was addressed to Rose King. Rose King shook his head directly.

She doesn't understand either.

When Ji Lang copied the map before, they studied it carefully. Although the map looked like a 'map', they wanted to find the specific traversable routes and landmark geographical coordinates from the map. Who was it?

A task that cannot be completed.

That is to say, if you look at this map from a normal map understanding perspective, it is actually nothing and its reference value is almost zero.

Maybe the clues marked in the map are very secretive, and they haven't found the correct interpretation method yet, or the angle of their observation is not very correct, and the authorities are confused, or maybe this is not a map at all, but they think it should be because it looks very similar.

Yes, I was deliberately misled from the beginning.

"That one looks a lot like Taniguchi..." Lan Tianxing also sat at the tea table, but also shook his head, "Unless it can really go up to the sky and into the earth, otherwise... it has no direction at all!".

"What if...we use reverse thinking to look at it?" Kangran guessed, "Maybe those are all illusions, and only by getting rid of the illusions can we see the original truth? Just like some things seem not to exist, but they are actually everywhere!

”.

Huatang couldn't help but nodded in agreement with this statement, "Brother Kang is right! Why not go to that valley and take a look, maybe you can see a different scenery?".

In terms of his ability to find paths, explore caves, and follow mountains to locate locations, Xiang Guang is one of the top brothers in the industry today. Although he cannot compare with Senior Brother Zhang back then, he is absolutely unmatched by anyone in this generation. If he is helpless,

, what clever tricks can laymen like them have? It sounds like they are not sure.

"This map has no reference value at all, but the overall outline is very similar!" Lan Tianxing analyzed, "could it be a map of the valley a thousand years ago, and a thousand years later, the topography of that valley will be different.

Has something changed, or was it affected by the earthquake that the originally marked entrance was moved, so that’s why it has never been found?”

The analysis is still very reasonable, but it does not help to solve the problem itself. It seems that it is just talk on paper and has no practical significance.

"Why don't Master Hua and I go take a look first? When we're almost done, Tianxing, you can go there with Chen Meng. Is that okay?" Kang Ran asked.

Huatang answered briefly and kept walking out, "Okay! I'll get ready and set off after dawn...".

"Hey, Senior Brother Hua..." Lan Tianxing seemed to still have doubts. Kang Ran stood up and smiled before he finished speaking, "That place just experienced a big earthquake, and the road traffic must have been paralyzed. Look.

We may have to be delayed there for a few days. I will make preliminary preparations first. If necessary, we may have to rebuild the road. So you don't have to worry, just wait for my news..."

"That's good, Brother Lao Kang is here!" Lan Tianxing could only express his thanks with a smile. What Kang Ran said were all practical difficulties before him. Even Ji Lang could do them well, but Mr. Kang's

He couldn't help but follow his thoughts.
Chapter completed!
