"Where is Nanchao?" Unfortunately, before he could ask any further questions, Shun had already vanished.
The group fell silent for a moment, when Yan Xuehen's voice rang out: "Come and see, there seems to be a map here."
It turned out that she had just gone into the ancient tomb in front of them to investigate, and Zu An and the others hurriedly followed her in.
I originally thought that since he was an emperor, his tomb should be very large, but after entering, I found that it was just an ordinary tomb.
There were quite a few artifacts inside, but unfortunately, they had long since decayed under the influence of time.
Yan Xuehen was in the central coffin, but there were no bones inside, as if Shun had never existed.
Zuan even began to doubt whether this guy was actually dead.
Yan Xuehen was staring at a picture on the surface of the coffin lid. Compared to the other things in the tomb that were full of age, this simple picture looked very new, as if it had just been painted.
There were some words on the painting that the three women didn't recognize.
Zuan recognized some of the ancient names and read them aloud. Some he had heard of before, and some he hadn't. They were probably place names from this world.
There was a place that was specially circled, and it was marked "Nanchao".
Upon hearing about Nan Chao, Yan Xuehen speculated, "This picture must have been drawn by Shun not long ago. Perhaps because of the great changes in the world, he was worried that he wouldn't be able to survive until we came back to find him, so he left clues in advance. Now it seems that it has indeed played a role."
Hearing that there was hope of breaking the puppet curse in Zaun, Yu Yanluo breathed a sigh of relief, a faint smile appearing on her beautiful face: "It seems that this Shun is a good person after all."
"What kind of good person is he?" Yun Jianyue sneered. "This guy didn't deliver on any of the things he promised us before. For example, he didn't say a word about the elixir of immortality; and he even made us make another trip to deal with Xiao Anzi's puppet curse seal. We don't even know if he can solve it."
The others felt a chill run down their spines; this possibility was indeed quite high.
Zuan remained optimistic: "Haha, at least it's better than having no clue at all. Besides, we've already obtained quite a bit of information about the elixir of immortality. However, the Heavenly Emperor has severed the path between the celestial beings and humans, so it seems that the elixir of immortality is out of our reach. We don't need to worry too much about it."
"That's true." Seeing that he wasn't discouraged, Yun Jianyue breathed a sigh of relief.
The group then set off, heading towards Nanchao according to the map.
Along the way, the women discussed the Path of Heaven and Man. Yun Jianyue said, "At first, I thought the Path of Heaven and Man was a tangible path, but based on what we just saw at Mount Ling and the situation we've encountered along the way, it doesn't seem to be like that."
"It feels like we've suddenly become two different worlds..." Yan Xuehen shared the same sentiment and began discussing various possibilities with Yun Jianyue.
Yu Yanluo kept smiling and nodding slightly. At first, she could understand, but as the two of them talked more and more profoundly, she could only pretend to be like this.
I couldn't understand a word, but I was deeply moved.
Zuan then used the theory of the real world and the inner world from movies and games in his previous life to discuss with the girls. Sure enough, the girls' beautiful eyes lit up, and they felt that this description was more accurate, and their admiration for him increased even more.
This guy is a bit lecherous and usually quite carefree, but I never expected him to have such extraordinary knowledge...
Zu'an sighed inwardly. No wonder the emperors of his previous life called themselves the Son of Heaven. Back then, he thought it was feudal superstition, just to make the monarchy have a more destiny-like deterrent effect on the people. Now it seems that they were not lying.
Because regardless of whether it's Yao from the White Emperor lineage or Shun and Yu from the Black Emperor lineage, they are indeed the bloodline left behind by the Heavenly Emperor on earth.
The emperors of the Xia, Shang, Zhou, and even Qin dynasties could all trace their lineage back to these dynasties to some extent, so it was perfectly acceptable for them to be called the Son of Heaven.
Later emperors naturally adopted this interpretation.
...
Following the map, the group searched their way to the location of Nanchao.
It's a vast mountain range with many lakes, making it a beautiful place with clear waters and lush mountains.
A group of people wandered around this area for most of the day without finding anything.
"What exactly is Shun referring to? Is he looking for some rare treasure in Nanchao? Or is there some person or ferocious beast that can break the spell on this puppet?" Yun Jianyue was getting a little frantic.
Yan Xuehen and Yu Yanluo also looked puzzled, clearly having no clue either.
Zuan's heart skipped a beat, and he finally remembered where he had heard this name before.
So they summoned Moxi, since she had a skill that allowed her to say goodbye to Nanchao.
Her honey-colored skin, paired with a strapless leather dress, gave her a wild and beautiful look.
Her flat stomach and firm, long legs left the three people beside her in awe, even though they were all stunning beauties themselves.
Yan Xuehen's heart was pounding. How could he have suddenly summoned Moxi?
I met this woman, who was like a summoned object, in order to unravel the mystery of the unbreakable bond of love within the temple.
Yun Jianyue was used to it, after all, he had seen Daji before.
She thought to herself, "This guy is such a lecher. Even his summoned creatures are such stunning beauties. Sigh, I feel so much pressure for that silly apprentice's future life."
Yu Yanluo was closer to Zuan, so she wasn't surprised at all; she was just curious as to why she had been suddenly summoned.
Zuan didn't explain, but stared intently at Moxi.
Moxi's eyes were somewhat blank at first, but after she saw the situation around her, she subconsciously tilted her head and looked puzzled, as if she had remembered something.
Without communicating with Zuan, he went off on his own in a certain direction in the mountains.
"Follow them!" Zuan waved to the three women and quietly followed behind.
