Chapter 213 [Going to the Mountain] (1)

Yan Tianxin said, "I can't read it wrong." After pausing for a long time, he said, "Didn't you see the golden light?"

Luo Lie walked towards Song Changjin not far away and whispered: "Is there any building over Helan Mountain?"

Song Changjin was very satisfied with Luo Lie's attitude. This nephew was obviously much more polite to him than others. Of course, a person's cultivation is often proportional to his scheming. The better the cultivation means the deeper the scheming. If a person can face someone he doesn't like, he can still be polite, but he cannot do it simply by relying on quality and cultivation.

Song Changjin couldn't help but sigh that the old Luo family general Men Huzi was not convinced. The old Luo family was all smart people, and they were very scheming. He pretended to say, "There are too many buildings, abandoned stone forts, dilapidated temples, and hunters' shacks..."

Luo Lie laughed, revealing his neat and white teeth: "Uncle San, did you see that golden light just now?"

Song Changjin nodded, and said some boring nonsense in front of such a smart nephew, which made him seem boring.

"What do you think?" Luo Lie continued to ask.

Song Changjin said: "Mirage."

Luo Lie was stunned for a moment, his expression full of surprise.

Song Changjin saw his doubts about himself, and even understood that there was a sarcasm in it. He lowered his voice and said, "You can see different scenes under different celestial phenomena. If you haven't seen them before, it doesn't mean it won't happen."

Although Luo Lie could not agree with Song Changjin's mirage, he thought that Song Changjin's words were very reasonable: "Uncle San thought the golden building just now was just an illusion of nothingness?"

Song Changjin said: "I didn't say that everything in this world has cause and effect, and the same is true for the golden buildings you see. Even if it is a mirage, there must be real objects in front of you to trace the root of the virtual image in front of you, and of course, it cannot rule out the real existence we just saw."

The two of them looked at each other and instantly understood each other's thoughts. The best way to prove the truth is to go and take a look. After all, the distance is not far.

Martha took the initiative to find Luo Lie. Luo Lie thought she was angry with her because of her father's affairs. Now it seems that Martha should have passed that hurdle. They had just started, and Fengsha forced them to hide for a while. Martha took advantage of this opportunity to come to Luo Lie and whispered: "Brother Luo, I have something I want to talk to you alone."

Luo Lie looked around. Yan Tianxin had already walked away tactfully. Looking at her back, Martha bit her lip, her bright eyes were filled with guilt. She said to Luo Lie: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't treat you like this, I'm revenge."

Luo Lie laughed: "Actually, you can tell her directly that she won't mind." She naturally pointed to Yan Tianxin.

Martha said: "I didn't want to attack her last night, I can't even remember what I did at that time."

Luo Lie nodded. He remembered Martha's situation very clearly at that time. Martha obviously lost consciousness and comforted Martha and said, "Think about it carefully, can you still remember some things?"

Martha shook her head and said, "I can't remember anything." She raised her eyes and said, "I lied to you in something." After that, she looked around nervously, sure that everyone else had gone away, and took the initiative to avoid the conversation between the two of them, and then continued, "Do you remember Tan Zicong's pursuit of us?"

Luo Lie nodded. He naturally remembered that Tan Zicong blocked the Tajik caravan and massacred the people of Martha. His purpose was to seize a volume of Quran. These Tajiks would rather sacrifice their lives to protect their faith. Too many things happened during this period, so Luo Lie did not pay much attention to this thing that had passed. Martha mentioned it again, and that the reason behind it was that it should not be that simple to start looking back and think about it.

A Qur’an is a priceless treasure to the believers, but according to Luo Lie, Tan Tiande and his son have no religious beliefs. What is the point of snatching the Qur’an?

Martha said, "You saved me. I did not say goodbye to you, but to fulfill my father's wish. I went to Heilong Ancient City."

Luo Lie understood when he heard this that when Tan Zicong led his people to besiege the ancient city that day, Desiri had already buried the Quran somewhere in the ancient city. Even if he left at that time, he did not take the Quran away because he was worried that he would be surrounded and intercepted by bandits when he encountered risks in the middle of the journey.

Desiri did not make any mistakes, and in the end they were still caught up by Tan Zicong. Although they met Luo Lie and Yan Tianxin again, they encountered a group of infected people in Laoyingpan at that time. Desiri was accidentally infected with the zombie virus and finally chose to die.

Martha said, "I thought it was a Quran, but... when I dug out the Quran, I found that the book was not a Quran at all." She took out the Quran hidden with her and handed it to Luo Lie.

Luo Lie took the scriptures and opened the oil paper wrapped around the surface. It was an ancient book bound in leather, written in Uighur text. The cover meant the Quran. When he opened the homepage, he found that there were a lot of blood stains on it. The handwriting of any place where the blood stains faded away, and some strange graphics appeared.

Luo Lie said: "What's going on?"

Martha said, "This is a map. My father asked me to find the Quran and destroy it. After I discovered the secret, I did not destroy it. I followed the above instructions and came here."

Luo Lie turned back and saw that there was no blood stain behind him, and the words were still normal.

Martha said, "As long as you deal with it in a special way, the map will appear. Because it is the Quran, believers will not do such disrespect to Allah."

Luo Lie understood that in fact, this Quran is a hand-painted map. Because the writing materials are special, the drawn patterns are hidden after they are dry and then copied on them. On the surface, it looks like a Quran, but in fact there are maps hidden in the scriptures. Could it be that Martha came here based on the fingerprints on the map?

Martha pointed to the Quran in the hands of the hunter and said, "Take it."

Luo Lie did not expect that Martha would choose to hand over this book to him. Although he did not know what kind of secrets it was hidden, the things that could make Desiri sacrifice his or her tribe's lives to protect would inevitably be priceless. Tan Tiande and his son should also know the preciousness of this book, otherwise they would not mobilize all their troops to snatch it.

Martha had a chance to burn the book, but she didn't do that, but chose to give it to herself. Was it just to repay her life-saving grace? It's unlikely that Luo Lie would think about it.

Martha said, "I have only one request, you can take me to find Tianmiao."

Luo Lie was stunned. It turned out that Martha had arrived here just to find the Temple of Heaven.

Martha said, "The real Quran is enshrined in the Temple of Heaven. When I get there, I only have that Quran, and everything else belongs to you, okay?"

Luo Lie couldn't help laughing. Martha really had the conditions. She finally understood the reason why Martha was so generous. Martha should have realized that she could not do this by herself, so she thought of using her own strength.

Luo Lie whispered: "Have you seen all the maps?"

Martha nodded and said softly: "I also saw the golden light on Helan Mountain. The real Tian Temple is near Helan Mountain."

Luo Lie said: "I promise you."

A hint of relief appeared on Martha's face. Although she had two people of her tribe who could not be called lonely, the power of the three of them alone could not achieve what she wanted. After hesitation, she decided to borrow the power of Luo Lie. Martha was not a girl who was ignorant of the world. She knew that everything in this world had to pay a price. If Luo Lie wanted to help her, she had to express enough sincerity. This map represents her sincerity. In fact, even if this blood-stained Quran was handed over to Luo Lie, Luo Lie, who did not understand the Uighur words, could not understand the meaning of it in a short time.

Martha said, "I will lead you. You must keep this secret for me and not tell the third person that he will know, even Yan Tianxin is no exception."

Luo Lie nodded and handed the Quran back to Martha: "This is your thing, I can't ask for it."

Martha said, "You keep it, I can't protect this thing."

Luo Lie pondered for a moment. What Martha said was the truth. With her personal ability, it was impossible to protect this scripture. On the contrary, he would keep it properly. He said to Martha: "I will help you with it first, and I will return it to you after this matter is over."

When the wind and sand were slightly weak, everyone continued to walk towards the foot of Helan Mountain. Although the sky was still filled with sand and dust, the visibility might have been much better than before. The pale sun again showed its face from the sky, because the sand and dust blocked the sunlight and lost its due scorching and brilliance.

Yan Tianxin didn't ask what Luo Lie and Martha were talking about just now. Instead, Arnold couldn't help it and gathered an opportunity to come to Luo Lie and whispered: "What are Martha talking about with you?"

Luo Lie had already thought about how to deal with it, and said to Arnold with what he had been preparing to say to Yan Tianxin: "It is to thank me and apologize for some of the previous things."

Arnold nodded, and for no reason he sighed: "Cute!"

Luo Lie looked at this guy with a little strangeness, thinking that he had drunk again, but he didn't smell the alcohol on him at such a close distance.

Arnold smiled and said embarrassedly: "I like it, you won't argue with me..."

Luo Lie then understood why this guy was so moved and couldn't help laughing.

Arnold said: "Don't laugh, people should not be too greedy. There are so many beauties who like you, but I don't even have a friend of the opposite sex."

Luo Lie reached out and patted his shoulder and said, "I can't help you."
