She couldn't let him have a weakness, so she could only become stronger and stronger.
A truly powerful person should never be emotionless.
Only when there was someone he really wanted to protect, would he have the motivation to become powerful.
They protected each other, and it was precisely because of this that they helped each other.
"I've temporarily cut off the connection between me and the system. I promise you that everything is under control. I have always been a person who is most afraid of death. How could I bear to lose my life here? "
She forcibly pulled down his face and rubbed her forehead against his.
"Ya 'er, if I take you away today, will you still come here?"
Long Tianhao stared into her eyes and asked helplessly.
She chuckled and kissed his lips.
"Promise me that no matter what you're going to do here in the future, you must let me accompany you down. Otherwise … "
He narrowed his eyes and looked at her, who pretended to be obedient in his arms. Finally, all the worries in his heart turned into a compromise, "Otherwise, you'll make me really sad."
Lin Mengya immediately nodded, like a chick pecking rice.
"I promise you. It's so dark here. Without your company, I don't dare to come down."
"There are times when you're afraid?"
Long Tianhao squinted at her, expressing his deep doubt.
But what could she do? She could only force a sweet smile to show her sincerity.
In the end, Long Tianhao was defeated.
But he was still worried about her body. He refused to let go of her no matter what she said. She had to hold him.
Riding on the "Long Tianhao" train, they soon reached the deepest part of the tunnel.
Lin Mengya didn't turn on the system, so she didn't feel any discomfort.
Long Tianhao also kept staring at her face, deeply afraid that she would fall ill again.
"Put me down first."
Her keen sense of smell allowed her to smell something hidden in addition to the smell of metal.
Long Tianhao thought there was something wrong with her, so he hurriedly asked her and felt her forehead and pulse. After making sure there was nothing wrong, he finally let her stand on the ground.
"The smell seems to come from inside. Let's go and have a look."
The deeper they went into the tunnel, the darker it became. In the innermost part, it was completely dark, without any light.
They carried the lantern carefully and Long Tianhao protected her. Both of their strong senses played a great role in the dark.
After traveling for an unknown period of time in the darkness, Zhang Xuan suddenly stopped.
Lin Mengya could smell the scent of incense and candles in the air.
"There should be lights here, and there seems to be the smell of sandalwood."
"Follow behind me. I'll go look for it."
He had been holding her hand all this while. At this moment, he put her hand on his waist.
After making sure that she had a firm grip on his belt, he let go of his hands to look for the light here.
In the darkness, other than the deprivation of vision, other senses were magnified infinitely.
The beating of their hearts could be heard clearly.
The two of them moved cautiously, while Long Tianhao held the only light source and searched around bit by bit.
Lin Mengya had a keen sense of smell, so she could give him directions from time to time.
Finally, with the cooperation of the two of them, Long Tianhao found a wall lamp that was embedded in the wall.
The oil in the lamp had become solid, but when Long Tianyu gently wiped it, he found that it was actually an extremely sticky and greasy paste.
He took out a match and lit the paste.
In an instant, a cluster of orange-red flames ignited, illuminating the darkness in that area.
"This ointment is so strange."
Long Tianhao looked at the rapidly melting ointment and felt a little surprised.
Lin Mengya twitched her nose and sniffed the smell after the ointment was burned.
"It's not animal fat, but like some kind of plant fat."
Without the system, she didn't know much about anything other than medicine.
But the situation just now was too sudden. For safety's sake, she felt that it was better to connect to the system after they got out of the tunnel.
With the first candle light, there was a second one.
Like two children, they looked for the wall lamps embedded in the wall.
As the light increased, the fear and oppression brought by the darkness also receded like the tide.
Lin Mengya stared at the bright lights and was lost in thought.
It seemed that the oil lamps they lit were arranged according to some rules.
Lin Mengya tugged at Long Tianhao's belt and pointed to the wall, saying, "Yu, don't you think that these wall lamps look like a painting?"
Long Tianhao lit the nearest lamp. After hearing her words, he took a few steps back with the others.
It was very blurry when they were close, but when they walked a little further, they could see it clearly.
Long Tianhao squinted and nodded, saying, "It looks like a person's foot."
"Well, look over there, it looks like a skirt. Let me help you, okay? In this way, we can quickly see what the pattern is. "
Lin Mengya pointed to a few of the oil lamps and said. Long Tianhao had reminded her many times not to go too far, and to call him immediately if anything happened, and so on, before he agreed.
Because of the light, Long Tianhao did not protect her as strictly as he did at the beginning.
But they were only a few steps apart, and he was always on guard, so that he could rush to her in the first place.
Lin Mengya took a small oil lamp and carefully lit the wall lamp.
Gradually, the air was filled with an elegant fragrance.
It smelled like flowers and spices, and involuntarily released people from the previous tension in the darkness. Her mood also became pleasant.
Lin Mengya was sure that the smell was not poisonous, and then she used both hands and feet to light up the surrounding.
And with the arrival of the light, the cold darkness also gradually faded.
They also found that it seemed to be a stone wall.
"Yu, there's more up there!"
Lin Mengya stood on tiptoe and pointed to the top.
Long Tianhao also saw it, but it was still a little difficult to climb this height, unless he climbed up.
But soon, Lin Mengya saw a very long ladle and a wooden bucket in the corner.
She asked the man to walk over, and found that the ladle seemed to be made of pure gold, and there was more than half a bucket of lamp oil in the covered gold bucket.
"Our ancestor is really extravagant."
Lin Mengya raised her eyebrows, but then she thought of the mountains of gold and silver outside. Well, well, it was just a drop in the bucket.
She instructed Long Tianhao to first put the lamp oil in the ladle, lit it, and then poured it into the wall lamps above.
Relying on this method, they quickly lit all the wall lamps.
"Let's go and see what this pattern is!"
Almost impatiently, Lin Mengya took Long Tianhao's hand and retreated.
The pattern formed by the lamp was very big, and they almost completely retreated into the darkness just now before they could barely see it clearly.
It was a woman formed by the lamp.
"She" was wearing an elegant long dress, looking calmly in front of her.
The orange candlelight made "her" shine with a warm color.
Suddenly, Lin Mengya had a feeling that the woman in the painting seemed to be waiting for someone.
It also seemed that she was looking at herself in the darkness with a faint smile.
And with "her" guidance, it seemed that the darkness also lost the power to make "her" afraid.
Because "she" was in front, with light and warmth, with tenderness and love, quietly waiting for the arrival of the person who passed through the darkness.
"Why are you crying?"
Long Tianhao was also a little shocked by the woman formed by the lamp.
He tilted his head and saw tears glistening in her eyes.
Lin Mengya felt a little embarrassed, immediately wiped her eyes, and said, "Nothing, maybe because the light is too dazzling."
Seeing that she did not tell the truth, he did not continue to ask.
He just hugged her tighter in his arms, constantly reminding her that he was there.
"Who do you think the woman on the stone wall is?"
For some reason, she liked "her" very much.
It was also because the craftsman who made this portrait was too ingenious.
Although the lines were so rough, they could immediately touch the softness in her heart.
Just at that moment, she thought of her mother.
The woman who did not stay in her memory, but used her whole life to love her.
With the Shen Nung system, she could record everything in this world, but she could not remember her mother.
Wasn't it a great regret for her?
Long Tianhao kept looking at her, and his eyes were filled with passion and affection.
"Probably, one of the masters of the Gong family."
"Why?"
"This is the underground cave of the Gong family. Only the masters of the Gong family and the people who are deeply trusted by the family can come in. Look, it is very orderly, and there is not a single broken lamp. Obviously, before it was covered with dust, someone carefully took care of it. Apart from the ancestors of the Gong family, who else could be worthy of the careful and generous treatment of the masters of the Gong family? "
Lin Mengya felt that what he said was very reasonable.
She raised her head again and looked at the woman formed by the lamp.
"I think she should be the master who proposed to move the main city here. If not for her, maybe the Gong family would have become the slaves of the Immortal City. "
Long Tianhao also agreed with what she said, took her hand, and walked under the stone wall.
"Please rest assured, ancestors of the Gong family, I will protect Gong Ya and do my best to solve the old feud of the Gong family. I will love her for the rest of my life, and never be separated from her. "
His vow was loud and clear.
His long black eyes were filled with his deep love and no regrets.
Under the witness of the ancestors, he and she once again made a vow to stay together for the rest of their lives.
And at this moment, she also deeply felt that their lives were intertwined like a husband and wife tree.
From life to death, from death to life. Generation after generation, they lived together.
"Don't cry, it's time for the ancestors to laugh at you."
