Chapter 744 The Gate of Ten Thousand Ghosts in the Peach Blossom Forest
The location of the Queen Mother of the West became a mystery, and Li Heng didn't do much research and didn't understand it.

"This is easy to explain," Zhang Minglan said from the side, "You have read the Book of Mountains and Seas, right? Some ancient myths are preserved in it. The Queen Mother of the West was the goddess who was in charge of the underworld and longevity, disease, punishment, and disaster. Holding a few blue birds, the ancestors believed that blue birds have the ability to travel through the three realms of heaven, man and earth, not only as auspicious omens, but also as messengers leading the souls of the dead."

"People in the ancient times, let me call them the ancestors. In the thinking of the ancestors, they did not think that after death, the soul would enter the bottomless hell, but return to the space between the heaven and the earth, together with the heaven and the earth. Turn into that nothingness."

Zhang Minglan raised her head and looked at the sky, "Do you think the sky is foggy and the sun is still invisible?"

The layer above the head seems to be a barrier, and the sun cannot shine directly on the ground through this barrier.

Li Heng raised his head: "Really, what does this have to do with the sun?"

"Do you know that in Qu Yuan's "Heavenly Questions", there is a saying in it, "If the day is not peaceful, how can the candle dragon shine?" It is the world, otherwise it is the world of the dead. Since the Queen Mother of the West can control life and death, the fairy mountain she lives in is Kunlun Mountain to the outside and Youdu Mountain to the inside. It is heaven and hell... pass."

When Qiu Qianduo heard Zhang Minglan's words, he nodded in agreement.

Li Heng touched his nose, so there are so many things to say. It seems that the level of thinking of the ancestors and ancients is different from that of mediocre modern people like them.

But looking at the whole world, there are almost all conceptual divisions of heaven, earth, and human beings, but there is absolutely no such thing as Shan Hai Jing that writes about the coexistence of humans and alien beasts in the human world—is it a legend, or is it real? That is still doubtful.

After solving the first doubt, everyone continued to walk forward. There was only one road here. Other than that, it was a field of grass. There were no clues as to whether there was another way, so they simply followed this road. .

After a while, it has come to an end.

But at the end, it turned out to be a forest full of peach blossoms, where the peach blossoms bloomed quietly, but Li Heng didn't know why he remembered the story of Peach Blossom Spring he had learned before.

Let’s not talk about the geographical location that is very inconsistent with this season, let’s talk about the peach blossom. Since ancient times, the peach blossom has many connections with the theory of ghosts and gods, and it is a kind of existence that evil things hate and fear.

Li Heng looked at those peach blossoms, and his mind became wild.Since this peach blossom is something to ward off evil spirits, what exactly is it to ward off?Outsiders can't get in, and the people inside have no intention of coming out to see the world...

"There's a door here." Li Shuang didn't know what he saw, so he beckoned people to go over and have a look.

That door is just located in the northeast of the entire peach blossom forest, and it says "Wan Guimen" on it.

The statues standing on both sides may have been weathered due to a long period of time, and it is impossible to tell what the original face looked like, but if you look closely, the statues stand on the left and right in front of the door, and their movements are also very mighty. Holding a war halberd, one is leading a tiger, which is a bit like a door god.

"These should be two ghost-suppressing door gods. This one is Shentu with a halberd, and that one is Yulei." Qin Tianen observed it and came to a conclusion.

There is a gate of ten thousand ghosts, and two gods to suppress ghosts. Needless to say, everyone has already guessed it.

"It seems that we have really found the treasure of the Queen Mother of the West, the last residence of the Wusun Kingdom!" Qiu Qianduo was a little excited, and his body trembled.

Brother Snake and Zhang Minglan had unclear expressions on their faces, as if they were a bit taboo.

But Li Heng was "threatened" by Qiu Qianduo, so they had no choice but to follow.

The main reason is distrust. Li Heng and the three of them have a lot of interactions with each other, but they still have a lot of trust. But for a team like Qiu Qianduo, who is full of scheming, you still have to be on guard.

Qiu Qianduo and his group walked in the front, while Ah Wen stared at Li Heng and the others from the rear.

In fact, Qiu Qianduo himself was afraid that Li Heng, the boy, would fight the people he brought with him to the death, intending to seize the treasure. However, after getting along with each other in the past few days, he himself felt more relaxed.

But relaxing doesn't mean he can relax.

Human beings are greedy creatures, and their desire for money and everything in the world is endless. If they are faced with a piece of wealth that can make them live comfortably, it is difficult to guarantee whether they will fulfill their promises Gentleman's Treaty.

"Wait." Li Heng called out from behind. "Walking forward, you're about to fall."

Li Shuang, who was walking in front, paused slightly, and subconsciously grabbed Qiu Qianduo who was beside him.

Qiu Qianduo staggered at this moment, and sat back down. The intimate contact between his buttocks and the ground caused Qiu Qianduo pain. When he was about to speak, he seemed to see something and swallowed the words he wanted to say. went back.

What appeared in front of me was a cliff, and below it was the rushing river.

There is also a crumbling rotten wooden bridge on the side, but fortunately, the distance between the cliffs is not large, only about three meters away.

Everyone crossed the bridge cautiously one by one.

They didn't dare to rush up that bridge all at once. It looked old, and they didn't know how to bear the weight. If they walked halfway, the bridge broke and they fell directly into the river. That's the real thing. There is nowhere to call for help.

It's a bit aggrieved to die in this place before the internal strife.
