C426 Ancient Maps
Su Xin knew that Lei Yang was about to leave, so he brought her to the majestic palace. She wanted to bring Lei Yang to see her grandmother, who was also the patriarch of the Golden Orchid Clan.
The hole left behind by the sudden change in the hall yesterday, had long been repaired. The hall was very spacious, Su Xin's grandmother was seated on the dragon throne, perhaps because she had just cut herself off and was too weak, she was currently meditating with her eyes closed, adjusting her own body, and did not even notice the two coming.
"Grandmother? Grandmother?" When Su Xin came closer and gently called out to her, she slowly opened her eyes and looked at the two of them.
"Grandmother, Young Master is looking for you!" Su Xin softly said to his grandmother, afraid that he would disturb his grandmother. It could be seen how filial she was, and how considerate of a child she was.
"The Lord God of Heaven has arrived. This old man pays his respects to the Lord God of Heaven!" When Su Xin's grandmother saw Lei Yang, she immediately stood up and bowed to him. Now that her cultivation had dropped, she was probably still not used to it, and almost tumbled down the stage.
When Lei Yang raised his hand, a gentle Cultivation Power appeared. It instantly melted into a palm and gently helped Su Xin's grandmother up, then cupped her fists and said, "Old madam, there is no need to be so courteous!"
After Su Xin's grandmother heard this, she immediately nodded her head, but her eyes became even more respectful as she looked at Lei Yang and asked, "May I know the reason why Lord God has come to find this old one?"
"Yes, there are some things regarding this Great Desolate Mountain Range that I would like to consult with the old lady earlier. I hope that the old lady can enlighten me!" Lei Yang cupped his fists and said politely.
"I do not dare to accept your teachings, but maybe I can give you some answers to what you are thinking, Su Xin, wait outside the hall, I have something to discuss with Young Master!" After Su Xin's grandmother finished speaking, she directly faced Su Xin and said this.
Su Xin looked at Lei Yang, then looked at his grandmother a few times, and then obediently walked out of the hall. He continued to mutter in his heart, "Just what kind of secret is it, to actually need me to evade it!"
At this time, Su Xin walked out of the hall, Su Xin's grandmother then walked down the stage and said to Lei Yang: "Master, please follow me!" Afterwards, the two of them entered the back hall.
The room was empty, so there was nothing. However, when she reached the center of the room and stepped on it with her right foot, a rumbling sound immediately came from the ground.
Amidst the rumbling, Lei Yang saw the roots of the hairs on the floor in front of them who were leaning against the wall immediately contract, and they quickly revealed a dark path.
"Lord, please follow me!" Su Xin's grandmother took the lead and stepped into the secret passage. With a casual move, some unknown mechanism was triggered, causing the inside of the passage to immediately light up.
When Lei Yang looked at the shining walls, he realized that they were lanterns that were made of golden roots. The wick of the lanterns were actually a piece of golden leaf, and as the leaves began to emit a golden light, it immediately illuminated the originally dark tunnel bright.
Following the steps of the old lady, Lei Yang and Yue Shan quickly reached the end of the passage. At the end of the passage was a private room, the door to the private room seemed to be sealed with special runic restrictions, it was clearly sealed tight, it was a forbidden grounds of the Golden Orchid Clan.
After the madame stood in front of the door to the secret room, she immediately produced a few bizarre Seal s and pointed at the door. A moment later, the door seemed to have passed the verification and slowly opened.
As the door opened, a thick smell of dust wafted through the air. It was clear that even they themselves rarely visited this place.
After the dust cleared, the two of them stepped into the secret room. The old mistress walked towards the only table in the room, the Eight Immortals Table, which had a stone box placed on it. There was a thick layer of dust on it, making it hard to see the original appearance of the table.
The old mistress wiped the dust off the stone box with a solemn expression and coughed a few times. However, once the dust was covered, it revealed the appearance of the stone box.
The surface of the stone box had a very peculiar natural pattern, like the rings of trees. It seemed to be carved out of a unique piece of wood, giving off an indescribably ancient aura.
After a long while, she finally opened the box gently and took out a thick leaf from within. She then handed it over to Lei Yang and said, "Lord God of Heaven, this is a map of the Wasteland that was passed down from our ancestors, there are many things recorded within this great wasteland. I think that there are things that you would like to know and understand inside this box!"
Lei Yang took the thick stack of leaves, and immediately felt that it was a very unique plant leaf, and these Ye Tian Xie leaves were around the thickness of a book, each piece had a few mountain ranges and rivers sketched out with simple lines, one look and it was clear that this was indeed a map.
Lei Yang was immediately overjoyed, he did not think much about it, and started to flip through the pages. Soon enough, he found that the leaves were recording a complete map, and not a set of small maps.
It turned out to be an indescribably huge map that recorded almost all of the topography of the entire mountain range world. This made Lei Yang extremely happy.
It had to be known that within the great wasteland, even a small map was extremely rare, let alone a complete map like this. However, what made Lei Yang excited was not only this, but the next discovery.
After the complete map appeared before Lei Yang's eyes, he quickly realised that there were many places on the map that he did not recognize marked with words. After that, under the introduction of the old lady, Lei Yang realized that the markings were all about the dangers of the Wasteland, the treasures of heaven and earth, and other things.
Originally, was already excited enough to have a map, but now that he had a map as well, it was like a treasure.
But right after, Lei Yang looked at the old lady with suspicion. He could not imagine, that the clan in front of him, was not considered a strong clan in the Great Wastelands Mountain Range, but why would they possess such a treasure like map.
Lei Yang was suspicious in his heart, but just as he was about to ask about the origins of the strange map, the old lady waved her hand and spoke out first, "Lord God of Heaven, I know what you want to ask me. Just as you have guessed, we are not the ancestors of the Golden Orchid, but are just a branch family of the Golden Orchid.
When my clan members and I left, we originally wanted to travel through the great wastelands, but we never expected that the road would be dangerous. When we arrived at this place, I was the only one of the elders left, and I decided to take root here and set up my tribe here.
My clan's ancestors were very powerful, and the map came from our clan, and because we were young and reckless, we did not understand the dangers of the great wastelands, we stubbornly refused to turn back. However, in the end, when we wanted to return, we could only become an unattainable dream! "
"Oh, I understand!" Hearing the old lady's explanation, Lei Yang nodded his head, and all the doubts in his mind were immediately dispelled.
Lei Yang's memories were superhuman. With the assistance of the old lady, Lei Yang only needed two hours to memorize all the information on the map. Originally, the Old Granny had wanted to give the map to Lei Yang, but he refused to accept it. He knew that this might be their chance to return to their clan.
Two days later, when Lei Yang left the basin, all of the Golden Orchid s came to send him off. The plaza was covered by a crowded sea of trees, but no one made a sound.
After Lei Yang bade farewell to the old lady, he took a deep look at the sculpture of himself woven with golden roots at the center of the plaza, and soared into the sky, flying far away at top speed under the watchful gaze of the masses.
But at this time, Lei Yang was still deep in his thoughts, just now when he left, he did not know why he did not see Su Xin, which made Lei Yang feel a little surprised, he did not understand why she did not come to send him off, and he even specially asked the old lady, but the old lady did not reply.
However, this time around, he saw a different Golden Orchid with a single glance. At this time, he was actually standing in the center of the plaza, and the head of the huge sculpture that was weaved with golden roots was looking silently at him, as if he was looking at a young lady dressed in a golden dress. She was precisely Su Xin.
With a thought from Lei Yang, a leaf immediately appeared in Lei Yang's hand. It was a golden leaf that Su Xin had gifted to Lei Yang last night, and the reason why she did not dare come and give it to him was because she was afraid that she would not be able to control her emotions.
At this moment, Su Xin, who was standing on top of a tree, revealed a brilliant smile. That smile was filled with an indescribable reluctance, and even from so far away, Lei Yang could still clearly feel it.
At this moment, Lei Yang seemed to have understood something a little. He could not help but smile and mutter to himself, "Silly girl, thank you for accompanying me these past few days. I will always remember you!"
After he finished speaking, Lei Yang took the golden leaf and swayed it towards Su Xin, then he placed it on his chest. Seeing Su Xin reveal an even more brilliant smile, he turned around and rushed toward the distant sky.
