It took us five hours to finally reach the location. This is a basin surrounded by mountains. The light is the sun's rays reflected by the clouds shrouding the basin and reflected by the sun.
We followed the footprints in front of us and went down the mountain, passing through the clouds. As soon as we passed through the clouds, the three of us were stunned. Wang Xuan murmured: "Tao Zun is indeed worthy of his reputation!"
I saw a city inside the basin. The city was made up of palaces. In the center of the city was a square. Eight roads led to the square from all directions. The roads in the city were distributed like a spider web.
The basin is surrounded by snow-capped mountains. The melted snow-capped mountains formed more than a dozen waterfalls, large and small, hanging around the basin. The water gathered into the city, forming lakes of various sizes.
There are a large number of animals living in the basin, and we can see at least dozens of birds and beasts walking around here.
I murmured: "This is the first time I have seen such a nice place. It seems I am really a bumpkin!"
Xiaozhen smiled and said, "Let's go. If you don't leave, you really won't be able to arrive before the meeting. Look at what time it is now."
I looked at my watch. It was already one o'clock in the morning. Although the road ahead was much easier to walk, the distance was still here. According to our current speed, we would need to walk for about six hours. If something unexpected happened along the way, we would have to walk for about six hours.
There's no way we can arrive at eight o'clock, so we'd better try not to be late.
In this way, we carefully started to go down the mountain, and saw some strange animals and plants along the way, but nothing beyond our imagination.
Finally, we walked out of the inaccessible area and walked onto a path, which was winding and winding through the woods. We kept moving forward along the path, and the path became wider and wider, and finally reached the end in front of us.
At the end of this is a road. This road is paved with stone slabs. The stone slabs are cut into three-meter-square stone slabs, arranged four side by side. Then the road is twelve meters wide and goes straight into the city.
center.
At this time, some short houses can be seen beside the road. Around the houses, there will be some fields and vegetable gardens. From a distance, you can't see these at all. They are all submerged in the woods and tall trees.
Under the palace.
Xiaozhen looked at it and said, "Zhang Xiao, have you noticed that there is a self-sufficient system here?"
I nodded and said, "Yes, there is food and drink. This place is really a paradise on earth. I understand why this is the birthplace of Taoism, but it is not easy for ordinary people to get here.
Just that coldness can kill an average person."
At this moment, there was a thunder in the sky, almost together with the lightning. The lightning directly hit a big tree not far away, and the big tree was split into two with a snap.
Half, this scene completely shocked me.
Wang Xuan saw this and said: "Let's hurry up as soon as possible. Not everyone can come here. If we don't do it right, we will be shattered to pieces."
We quickened our pace, but as soon as we started walking, we heard the rain falling behind us. The rain was right behind us, the clouds in the sky were chasing us, and there was constant lightning and thunder.
We had to run, and the rain kept following us. The rain was pouring behind us, but we didn't get a drop of rain. We ran like this for a full hour, and the rain stopped abruptly behind us, and then the sun was shining brightly.
Rising above our heads.
I looked at my watch and said, "It's still late. It's already nine o'clock. But why doesn't the sun come out until nine o'clock?"
Xiaozhen waved her hand and said: "I don't think you may be late. The time zone here is different from ours. Maybe it's only seven o'clock here. We'd better hurry up and maybe it's still in time!"
Wang Xuan straightened his clothes, untied his hair, and led the way coolly. He pointed to the front and said, "It shouldn't be far, I can already feel the scent of people."
I thought you had a dog's nose, but he was really right. As we walked further, it was obvious that there were more palaces, one after another standing on both sides of the road. We walked faster and faster, and finally arrived at ten o'clock.
We arrived at the square in the middle.
At this time, the square was full of people. As soon as we arrived, the gate of the palace across the square opened, and then the bell rang.
Nine times in a row!
The sound of the bell was long and long, and it made me feel relaxed. I finally wiped my sweat and sat on the ground, but everyone started walking towards the palace.
The three of us were the last to follow, but when we arrived at the door, there was a middle-aged man there accepting invitations. Both Wang Xuan and Xiaozhen had them, but I didn't even touch them when they arrived.
"Where's your invitation?"
The man was skinny, but looked good, and his voice was deep and strong when he spoke!
"It's lost. I'm Zhang Xiao. You can go check it out."
"I'm here to accept the invitation. Why are you here if you lost your invitation? Go, go, go and wait outside."
At this moment, a team of people came over and said, "Brother Zhang, I saw your invitation letter, give it to you!"
I took it over and took a look, and it was really there. I thought to myself, how could you have picked it up? We are too slow, how could you be behind us? I threw the invitation to the middle-aged man guarding the door, and I said to the
The man thanked us, and the three of us went in. After entering, someone guided us into a large palace, which looked like a school cafeteria.
After entering, each of us was given a salted duck egg, a bowl of porridge, a plate of pickles, and a piece of bread. To tell the truth, the food was delicious, but I was not full.
After eating, everyone walked through the palace and arrived at a location similar to a school field. Some chairs were placed here, with names written on the backs of the chairs on white paper. From a distance, they looked like neatly arranged tombstones.
Some people have seats, and some people don't. In short, there are fewer people with seats and more people without seats.
I stared in front of me and murmured: "What kind of fucking rule is this? I can't bear it anymore. To be honest, I've already given him face by coming here, but he's trying to intimidate me!"
Wang Xuan smiled and said: "Who says it's not true? I don't belong to the human world. I just live at the junction of yin and yang. Since you invited me here, you can at least arrange a place for me. Now, I am nothing.
How unbecoming is this?"
Xiaozhen looked around and said: "But look at these people, they seem very excited standing here. It seems that they will have great honor just by coming here!"
