Hearing Huang Rong say this, Guo Mo couldn't help but look at the mountain in front of him.
I can only see this mountain, several hundred feet high, standing at the foot of the mountain, but I can't see its top.
The mountain is a dirt mountain, with lush jungles and birds flying from time to time. There are trails circling in the mountains, and I don't know where they lead.
Not far away, there is a mountain gate-like existence, with a menhir standing on the right, as if there are inscriptions on it.
Because it has not been repaired for a long time, it has been weathered and blurred, and only the last one can be seen as the word "山".
"Rong'er, such a mountain shape is very common. How come you think it's the mountain in the painting in your father's study?" Guo Mo asked after looking at it for a long time.
"Brother Mo, please look at this. The terrain of this mountain is gentle. There is a screen-like shield in front of it. It rises straight from the ground. It is in sharp contrast with the flatness of the hill next to it. It doesn't look like a natural thing at all."
"In fact, it is not a natural thing, but was leveled by manpower. Such a contrasting mountain topography is really unforgettable after seeing it."
Seeing that what Huang Rong said was convincing, Guo Mo also believed it.
But this mountain is in Runan, the Central Plains, and "Peach Blossom Island" is on the East China Sea. Thousands of miles apart, how could such a painting exist?
"Brother Mo, why don't you accompany me to go up to this mountain and take a look? If it's really that mountain, follow the mountain trail and climb over the first ridge, and you'll see a canyon."
Seeing that Huang Rong was really interested, Guo Mo had no choice but to let it go.
The two drove the carriage into the woods and found a tree to tie it up.
I took my belongings and valuables from the car, brought some cooked food and drinking water, and walked up the mountain.
Perhaps the mountain was too far away from human settlements. The two of them walked for a long time, but they didn't see any trace of human activity.
The trail is winding and winding, and the mountain is not too high, but it looks deep enough.
After walking for about ten miles, we reached the foot of the mountain and saw the ridge.
After crossing the mountain ridge, a long and narrow valley appeared in front of us.
This valley, both in width and length, is much larger than the valley where the "Daiyu Mountain" sculpture lives.
In early March, there was still a bit of spring cold outside. This valley was sandwiched in the middle and surrounded by mountains. It was windless and cold, making it a pleasant place to live.
The two of them went down the mountain ridge and came to the mouth of the valley. There was also a standing stone.
Perhaps because there is not much wind here, this menhir is relatively well preserved and has several large characters engraved on it.
Guo Mo stepped forward, wiped off a layer of moss, and carefully identified it. It turned out to be the name of the valley - Deaf and Mute Valley.
"Brother Mo, how come you have such a strange name? But it is quite suitable for 'Peach Blossom Island'. If there is such a valley on the island, it would be quite suitable to name it 'Deaf-Mute Valley'."
Huang Rong thought of the deaf and mute servants on "Peach Blossom Island".
"Brother Mo, could it be that dad has really been here and seen the name of 'Deaf and Mute Valley', and only after he returned did he follow suit and make the people on 'Peach Blossom Island' deaf and mute?" Huang Rong thought more and more.
, I feel that my analysis makes more sense.
Guo Mo ignored the little girl's open mind and just looked at the words "Deaf and Mute Valley" with a heavy expression.
If this is the "Deaf and Dumb Valley", then this place should be "Leigu Mountain".
There is a portrait of this mountain in Rong'er's father's study. Maybe the martial arts on "Peach Blossom Island" came from here.
Guo Mo tried hard to recall that there seemed to be nothing special about what happened in the Deaf and Mute Valley in Leigu Mountain except for the "Zhenlong Chess Game" and the "Secret Room Teaching".
"Brother Mo, I'm talking to you."
Huang Rong saw that Guo Mo was more preoccupied than she was when he saw the words "Deaf and Mute Valley", so she simply gave up her little thoughts and greeted Guo Mo.
But even after calling several times, she didn't answer.
"Rong'er, do you still remember the story I told you about Tianlong a hundred years ago?"
"This 'Deaf and Mute Valley' was also very famous at that time. The senior 'Drunkard Monk' we met also participated in the 'Deaf and Mute Valley' meeting that year."
When nothing happened, Guo Mo briefly told Huang Rong the old events that happened in the "Deaf and Mute Valley".
"Rong'er, when I knew that what your father had learned was all-encompassing and everything was accurate, I boldly made a guess."
"Now, you have proved that there is a painting of this mountain hanging in your father's study. Maybe your "Peach Blossom Island" martial arts is really passed down from the "Deaf and Mute Valley" lineage."
"'Deaf Mute Valley' also belongs to the lineage of Xiaoyao Sect, so when we were in Shaolin, senior 'Doujiu Monk' gave you 'Lingbo Weibu' without any scruples."
Although Huang Rong was shocked after hearing Guo Mo's analysis, she also felt that this was probably the truth of the matter. If she wanted to truly understand it, she would probably have to wait until she met her father to get the answer.
Huang Rong suddenly missed her father. It had been more than a year since she came out. In addition to wanting to see her father, she also found that she had a lot of problems that she had to wait for her father to solve.
"Rong'er, no matter what the facts are, since we are here, let's take a walk around and maybe we can find our own opportunity like your father."
Now that it's come, let's make peace with it. What's more, how many people can withstand the temptation of hunting for strange things and treasures?
Hearing what Guo Mo said, Huang Rong suddenly became interested.
The two of them walked into the valley and followed the road on the ground for about two quarters of an hour before arriving at a cave.
A narrow mountain stream serves as a gateway, and there is a cave inside.
Entering the cave door, there is an open-air courtyard inside.
Several thick ancient locust trees are scattered among them. Between the two ancient locust trees in the middle, there is a large blue stone, which is five feet square.
The stone surface is very smooth. "There are nineteen vertical and horizontal paths, which have never been the same throughout the ages." On top of the big stone is a pair of chessboards.
If you look closely, you can see that there are many potholes and deep scratches on it. Even the corner on the right side has been peeled off for many years.
"The chessboards of the past are still there today, but the people who played them are nowhere to be seen."
The two of them continued walking inside, and when they actually entered the cave, they discovered that the cave was not a natural cave, but was obviously carved by the hands of skilled craftsmen.
The space is not too big, but it is very reasonably arranged with a living room, kitchen, several bedrooms, and an area that looks like an alchemy room.
Although many years have passed, the original design can still be seen.
The two of them came to a cave at the end. It was a place closed on six sides, with only one entrance and exit, but it didn't seem stuffy and didn't know how to ventilate it.
Guo Mo knew that this should be the place where Wu Yazi taught Xu Zhu his skills, and it was also the place where he ascended.
"Brother Mo, it seems our luck is not very good." Huang Rong laughed at herself.
Guo Mo didn't care. He had not yet mastered the magic secrets and the "Nine Sun Magic Skills" he had practiced, and he hadn't even started practicing the "Six Meridians Divine Sword" yet.
Why should we covet other people's skills? As the saying goes, "I am lucky to get it, but I am destined to lose it." Everything naturally has a predestined relationship. Isn't it tasteless to force it?
Guo Mo thought like this, and suddenly felt something in his heart. After achieving great success, he no longer bothered to practice the "Quan Zhen Xin Dharma", as if he had taken another step forward.
"What is going on? After Dacheng, is there still a realm?"
Guo Mo hurriedly sat down cross-legged, with the three flowers gathered at the top and the five qi facing the yuan, feeling the full inner power in his body with his heart.
Quanzhen's internal energy, which was originally "simple and heavy", has now become ordinary and unremarkable, as if he has just started practicing.
Is this reincarnation or a return to nature?
Opening his slightly closed eyes, Guo Mo saw a strange painting carved on the top of the cave through the faint light shining through the cave entrance.
