Chapter 121 - Crystal Coffin (1/2)

Seeing the second mural, Lin Luoran can’t help wondering.

This is the same mountain as the first mural, but the main part is a grand wedding of the cultivation world. In the open square which can contain hundreds of people, a couple is holding hands and looking at each other. Lin Luoran cannot see their faces as there are only their backs in the mural. She can only see them from the back that the bridegroom is wearing a Tang-style robe with a high crown and the bride is wearing a palace dress. What shocks Lin Luoran most is the hairpin worn by the bride — it is not precisely drawn, but Lin Luoran is 100% sure that it is the Sword of Bright Snow!

The bride… Is she White Fairy?

White Fairy is now sleeping. Lin Luoran carefully keeps the details of the mural in mind, but she does not say anything.

Wen Guanjing is still immersed in the magnificence of Zu Mountain in former times. Even if he notices Lin Luoran’s unusual look, he will not notice a small hairpin worn by a woman in the mural.

“What is this?” Lin Luoran asks, pretending to be curious.

Wen Guanjing calms down and carefully watches the mural for a while. He can see that many guests come to the grand wedding wearing different clothes. Some are from the Buddhist School and some are from the Taoist School. He also recognizes that the bridegroom is wearing a Tang-style robe and the bride is wearing a palace dress. He can only be sure that this wedding happens in Zu Mountain — that square which can hold hundreds of people is in their record. It is strange, however, that this unprecedented wedding of the cultivation world is not recorded in any of their notes!

This should not happen… He organizes his thought and tells Lin Luoran, but it has made Lin Luoran even more puzzled.

What is hidden behind the wedding that has not been recorded? Is it possible that it has something to do with White Fairy’s fate? For some reason, Lin Luoran has this strange idea in her mind.

Perhaps the truth she wants to know is inside the palace… Lin Luoran looks at the gate at the end of the pa.s.sage, takes a deep breath and moves on to the third mural.

Unlike the first two murals, the third mural presents something in a new place: a lot of cultivators are in a vast desert, looking at the sky.

There is a colorful halo in the sky. In addition to cultivators who are looking up from the ground, there are many cultivators who are flying to the halo. Some of them are immersed in the halo and some has just reached there.

Lin Luoran’s fingers trembles slightly, “Brother, come and see this.”

“What?” Wen Guanjing carefully watches it for a while, and the expression on his face changes. He recalls a popular story in the cultivation world about the sudden disappearance of cultivators in the level of Gathering Vitality a thousand years ago.

“One day suddenly, colorful light fell from the sky and oracle was delivered from the Upper Land… “Cultivators in lower levels never got the chance to know the content of that oracle. They just knew that after the oracle was delivered, all cultivators in the level of Gathering Vitality disappeared.

According to the mural, it seems that they were taken away by the halo. Wen Guanjing’s heart is beating fast. Now the earth has less and less Reiki and cultivation is becoming harder and harder. If they solve the mystery of the disappearance of those cultivators in the level of Gathering Vitality, maybe they can find a new place for cultivation.

He looks at Lin Luoran. Has she thought about this as well?

They look at the mural carefully, but unlike the secret land with different terrains, deserts all look very similar. After observing for a while, they do not find anything special about this desert. There is no way that they can find it.

Lin Luoran is a little bit disappointed. Suddenly she realizes that this is only the third mural. The pa.s.sage is long enough for another two murals at least. Perhaps there is more information hidden in those murals?

She quickly steps to the fourth mural but she is disappointed that the fourth mural is, unexpectedly, a blank one!

It is not blank because it has not been painted, but because it has been erased by a spell as it is an inch deeper than the first three murals and the wall is clean and smooth.

What on earth was painted here?
