Jingnancheng was just a small village when King Zhennan came.
After Prince Nan was "assigned", he worked hard for a period of time and worked hard to build a village into a fortress-like city.
This can be seen from the architectural style of the city.
The streets in the city are straight and horizontal, and are well-organized. They were obviously built after planning.
And in the middle of all the streets, there is a very famous scenic spot.
It's called the "Statue of the Empress."
It is said that King Zhennan admired the Qijue Empress who left various legends five thousand years ago, so he ordered someone to move a huge jade blank and polish it with precision.
Next to the statue of the empress, there is a stone tablet without words.
The style of the stone monument is incompatible with the new streets, and it bears the traces of history.
The local residents of Jingnancheng have long been accustomed to the existence of the statue of the Empress and passed by it one after another without stopping.
today.
A young man with a pale face, waving a fan, came here.
The young man stopped and looked up at the specious face of the empress.
"It really doesn't look like that."
Yi Lin shook her "Mu Xiu Yu Lin" fan and looked at the appearance of Xiao Xi that others imagined, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
He has seen Xiao Xi's true appearance with his own eyes. Others don't know whether it looks like him or not. Doesn't he have the right to speak?
The Statue of the Empress is not an important official site, and it is not even guarded. It is equivalent to a local landscape.
Yi Lin drove [Like a Shadow], and almost no one paid attention to him. He put his hand on the wordless stone tablet and read the message on it.
The first time is new, the second time is familiar. This is already the third time for Yi Lin. She has no worries in her heart and is waiting patiently.
Soon, the message came out.
…
【Decoding in progress...】
[Working hard to decode...]
[We are working very hard to decode...]
【drop.】
【Decoding successful.】
【You finally found this place.】
【This is message number two.】
The opening remarks above are exactly the same.
Yi Lin felt that Xiao Xi was wasting the precious memory of the stone tablet.
It turns out this is number two!
Yi Lin suddenly realized.
He recalled the scene when he first met Xia Xiaoman.
That is to say,
Assuming that he did not refuse Xia Xiaoman's request, after leaving Qingniu Mountain, his next step should be to follow the principle of proximity and come to Jingna City along the way, instead of going straight to Tianjianmen to become a monk.
Xiaoxi... made a mistake in judgment?
Or does it mean that all the choices he makes in this world will not have any impact on the outcome?
Yi Lin frowned, feeling the familiar touch in her palm, and remained silent, patiently reading the message.
…
[Five thousand years is still too short, too short, too short for the birth, development, and strength of a civilization.]
[A short period of time is not enough to make a civilization strong, and it will be annihilated in the source river.]
【then,】
【I made a decision.】
[Before ‘you’, I selected a group of people, gave them the qualifications of a paradise, and put them into the endless ‘game’. 】
【But in the end, they all died.】
[They are the first generation after the ‘Great Annihilation of the Age of Gods’. 】
【I failed.】
[My ship, the remaining ‘source’, cannot bear repeated failures. 】
【So, I came here secretly.】
【I... took away the ‘source’ here.】
…
I see.
"It turns out that we are not the first apostles."
"The first batch, all dead."
"We may be the second batch, the third batch, or even..."
"Xi tried once, and again, and again."
Yi Lin closed her eyes and thought about Xiao Xi's complicated mood when she recorded this message.
Desperate?
…
"The Empress of Qijue interrupted reincarnation with her own hands."
…
"But there is no reincarnation in this world...except for you."
…
Yi Lin thought of the ancient legend told by Zen Master Ku Ye of Dali Temple.
Then I remembered the words Xiao Xi left during the reincarnation.
"We are all carrying a heavy burden and moving forward."
Yi Lin opened her eyes.
In his eyes, there was no disturbance.
He walked on the street and watched people coming and going.
As he walked, he noticed something was wrong.
Many people are busy on the streets.
The shops along the road are all busy being repaired and renovated.
There are even guards who act as street sweepers and clean the streets.
The entire city gave Yilin the feeling that she was about to welcome a distinguished guest.
Yi Lin was like an invisible shadow, walking through the crowd.
He inquired for a while, but unfortunately, there was no unique place like Wanxiang Tower in this city.
"It's a pity."
Yi Lin secretly regretted it.
If there is Wanxianglou, based on his brand, let alone free prostitution, I should be able to get a lot of important information with a little money.
Wanxianglou is an organization under the Qingluanshu Sect used to collect intelligence.
It is not incomprehensible that King Zhennan would have evil intentions and not let Wanxianglou's claws extend into his territory.
Think of this.
Yi Lin finally found the waist badge of Commandment Mountain from the large chain of waist badges.
He was in the corner, quietly touching the waist badge of Commandment Mountain, silently reciting Jian Nanchun's name in his heart.
"Call Brother Jian, call Brother Jian, please answer if you receive it, please answer if you receive it, over."
After calling, she waited for a while, but there was no reply. Yilin could only wait patiently.
While waiting, he continued to check the spots.
About half an hour.
Yi Lin spent some effort to get the layout of Jingnancheng almost complete, and regenerated a three-dimensional structural diagram in his mind.
Jingnan City is divided into four gates: east, west, south and north.
Zhennan Prince's Mansion is located in a luxurious garden in the middle and north of the center. It covers an area of 99 acres and is surrounded by heavy military guards.
In Jingnan City, eight "military camps within the city" were actually installed.
The number of troops in the military camps in the city is unknown, but the distribution of the military camps is located in the eight geographical directions of "due east, due west, due south, due north, southwest, northwest, southeast, and northeast".
On the three-dimensional map in her mind, Yi Lin silently clicked on the red dots at the locations of the military camps.
"Huh?"
Yi Lin closed his eyes and looked at the three-dimensional map of Jingnancheng in his mind, as well as the small dots on the map. As he looked at it, he frowned, then relaxed, and couldn't help but laugh: "This city is a bit...
Meaning."
Just when Yi Lin was rejoicing at her major discovery and feeling happy because she had unintentionally gained new knowledge, the token in her arms trembled, and the reply from Brother Jian Nanchun, the swordsman, came belatedly.
"Junior Brother Lin, Junior Brother Lin, Junior Brother Lin, Senior Brother Jian call Junior Brother Lin, please answer when you receive it. Encirclement."
Jian Nanchun didn't understand foreign languages, but he vaguely felt that Junior Brother Lin Yi's calling method was simple and classy, which was particularly suitable for his identity, so Senior Brother Jian couldn't help but imitate Yi Lin's tone, but the imitation was a bit nondescript, and he couldn't help it.
Know.
"...Have you seen King Zhennan over there?"
The two brothers finally talked to each other.
"Junior brother Lin, as you expected, King Zhennan did not see us immediately, but placed us in a courtyard in the corner of the east wing of King Zhennan's palace."
"Are there any soldiers guarding the area?"
"have."
"Then you are surrounded?"
"Junior brother Lin has a keen eye." Jian Nanchun first smiled disdainfully, and then snorted coldly: "But this siege, to me, is in vain... It's okay not to mention this predicament!"
"That's wrong." Yi Lin kindly reminded: "If junior brother is not mistaken, there is another mystery in Jingnancheng. I suggest senior brother not to fly around."
