Chapter 86 [Milipede] (Part 2)

Luo Xingmu said: "The husband and wife are birds in the same forest. When the disaster comes, they fly away. It is a wise move to leave now." He did not mean to stop Yan Tianxin from leaving. After all, his main purpose was to control Luo Lie, let Luo Lie accompany him into the Nine Netherworld secret realm, and use the Xiawen knowledge he has mastered to help solve the problem. It is not important to him whether Yan Tianxin will leave. What's more, if Yan Tianxin leaves, it means that Luo Lie's power will be further weakened, which is definitely not a bad thing for him.

Yan Tianxin said: "It is precisely because of this that I want to watch you!"

Luo Lie originally wanted to persuade her, but when he saw Yan Tianxin's resolute gaze, he knew that he could not change her decision at all, so he gave up his plan to continue persuading her.

Perhaps in order to express his determination, Yan Tianxin took the lead in walking towards the Ice Palace. Luo Lie was afraid that she would make any mistakes, so he hurriedly followed.

A huge relief is carved on the north wall of the Ice Palace. The picture depicts the scene of a war between the two armies. Luo Lie and Yan Tianxin came to the front of the relief to stop, one to appreciate the relief, and the other to see the way forward. The two sides fighting on the relief, humans, gods, monsters and beasts, each showing their abilities, should be the scene of ancient wars. Luo Lie identified the identities of the war between the two sides from the flags of both sides. One side should be Huangdi, one of the Chinese ancestors, and the other side is Chi You. This relief should be the scene of the Battle of Zhuolu.

Luo Xingmu's gloomy voice sounded aside: "This relief carved is the Battle of Zhuolu, you should know about this battle."

Luo Lie nodded and said, "I have heard of ancient myths!"

Luo Xingmu said: "People often call things that they have not witnessed with their own eyes and lack the so-called evidence as myths and legends, so they deny too many facts that have existed before, but history is history after all, and no matter whether you admit it or not, it cannot change the facts that exist in history!"

Yan Tianxin whispered: "Do you mean there really was a battle to fight in history?"

Luo Xingmu smiled indifferently and said, "I can't prove it, but I believe it! In fact, history does not need to be proved, nor does it require future generations to admit it!"

Luo Lie pondered quietly. When Luo Xingmu's words carefully evaluated, there is a profound philosophy. Indeed, although history is submerged in dust, future generations may no longer see the true nature of history. However, whether modern people can prove the existence of these history, they cannot change the facts that history has already happened, and whether it is proved or not can not change the trajectory of history. In this way, the archaeology and exploration of later generations are nothing more than to satisfy their curiosity and have no help in the direction of history. So what is the significance of these behaviors of later generations?

Yan Tianxin said, "But there seems to be no road ahead."

Luo Xingmu said: "I don't know the true face of Mount Lu, because in this mountain, you see a relief sculpture of ingenious craftsmanship, a battle that makes people's bloody, but I see a shoulder that can be pedaled."

A word woke up the dreamer. Yan Tianxin secretly felt ashamed. She only saw the surface, but ignored the hidden paths in the relief. Using the characteristics of the relief, she could climb up smoothly and reach the top of the wall. The snow steak just now also came in this direction. The snow steak has a huge body and is not easy to hide, so there must be a passage leaving.

Luo Lie said with concern: "Your shoulders!"

Yan Tianxin's right shoulder was shot through by a crossbow arrow before. Although it did not hurt the bones, it affected the normal movement of the right arm after all. The relief in front of her was dozens of feet high. If you want to climb up, you must use your hands and feet. This must be an extremely harsh test for Yan Tianxin. Perhaps the wound she just sealed will collapse because of this.

Yan Tianxin said: "Don't try to persuade me to stay!"

Luo Lie laughed, revealing his white and neat teeth: "I just want to ask for your opinion, whether to carry you or carry you up."

Yan Tianxin sighed and said, "Actually, you should care about yourself. Will the eye on your hand suddenly crawl in, but you should be more than one eye if you have so many eyes." Although her tone was joking, she was deeply worried about Luo Lie. The Tianmu Millipede was absorbed in Luo Lie's left palm. If Luo Lie accidentally touched the Tianmu Millipede when he was climbing, it might penetrate into his body.

Luo Xingmu looked at the two young men in front of him who were still thinking about each other at the critical moment of life and death, and slowly shook his head and said, "Life and death are destined, wealth and honor are in heaven. If God doesn't want you to die, you have to continue to suffer in this world." He waved his hand, and the one-eyed ape man slowly crawled to Yan Tianxin's side, but he wanted to carry Yan Tianxin on his back.

As for Luo Lie, he could only hope Luo Xingmu could help. He smiled and said, "I'm working hard." It was also intentional to call Luo Xingmu as his uncle, hoping to awaken the little conscience left deep in Luo Xingmu's heart.

Luo Xingmu sneered and untied a black rope about five meters long from his waist, tied it to Luo Lie's left wrist, and the other end was tied to his left wrist. He did not choose to carry Luo Lie like an ape, but used this rope to help Luo Lie. In this way, he only needed to appropriately leverage Luo Lie, which not only avoided direct contact between the two people, but also avoided Luo Lie's left palm from exerting force.

Luo Lie sighed inwardly that Luo Xingmu was cunning, and indeed he didn't even give him any chance.

Luo Xingmu had already climbed upwards with the relief, and Luo Lie followed closely behind. Although his left hand did not dare to touch anything, whenever he needed to force, Luo Xingmu would pull him just right, which prevented him from exerting force with his left hand to prevent him from touching the Millipede. Luo Xingmu didn't want Luo Lie to die too early, at least not even happening before he translated those Xia texts for himself.

Although Yan Tianxin, the ape man's back, was activated a little later, but the speed of climbing was far higher than Luo Xingmu. In a blink of an eye, he had climbed to the top of the relief. There was a gap of three feet high between the top of the relief and the wall of the ice palace. Because of the dim light and the angle, he couldn't see this gap when standing under the relief. He thought that the relief and the dome of the Ice Palace were directly connected.

Yan Tianxin turned around and looked back, but saw Luo Xingmu and Luo Lie climbing to the middle of the relief one by one. The ape man's arms had already grasped the upper edge of the relief, and pulled it hard, and when he was about to jump up, the wind sounded loudly above his head. Looking up, he saw a big axe slashing on his head, hitting its forehead. The incident happened in a hurry, and the ape man didn't have time to dodge. The ape man was ready to gather the strength of the whole body. Although the ape man's skull was hard, it still could not resist the axe's advantage. The skull was split and blood was splattered. It screamed, and both palms broke away from the upper edge of the relief. Its body leaned down and fell down. Yan Tianxin was lying behind the ape man. Her life was completely tied to the ape man. The ape man fell down. Naturally, she could not escape the fate of falling from a high place. She cried out and let go of the ape man's neck. It was too late to escape.

At the critical moment, an arm stretched out from the side and grabbed her left arm. Yan Tianxin stopped falling, but saw the ape man waving his upper limbs and falling down heavily on the ice below. Blood flowed from his head and face, but he was afraid that it would be a little bit of good luck.

Yan Tianxin was still in a state of fear. He looked at her carefully. The person who pulled her back from the brink of death just now turned out to be her grandfather Yan Kuohai. Yan Tianxin was gasping for a while, standing in the relief depressed place. After a long time, he came to his senses and said tremblingly: "Grandpa..."

Yan Kuohai's clear-cut face was as hard as an ice sculpture, and there was no fluctuation in his turbid eyes, as if the granddaughter in front of him was just a stranger who had never met before. Yan Tianxin was about to talk to him. However, Yan Kuohai had already climbed out of the hidden den, looking coldly at Luo Xingmu who had already climbed to the middle of the way.
