Lan Mu was not in a hurry to enter Shambhala.
After finding the temple for the third time, he circled the temple to study it.
After all, it was a supernatural anomaly that made people disappear. What if the so-called disappearance was not to enter Shambhala, but to be instantly vaporized like the Eye of Obliteration on the Lost Island?
Lan Mu, who was cautious by nature, repeatedly scanned the temple with his psychic power, but he could not find anything.
"Tsk …"
The temple instantly disappeared, and this time it returned to the tomb inside the mountain.
Lan Mu could not help but laugh at himself. "Anomalies are supernatural because they can't be understood."
"But I can still see some characteristics. It seems that once the temple is discovered by a creature, it will return to its original location within five minutes."
Lan Mu relied on his instinct to find treasures, and found the temple many times, but did not enter it.
Regardless of whether he observed it or not, as long as a creature near the temple saw it, the temple would disappear within five minutes and instantly appear in a random place ten to fifty kilometers away.
That place could be outside the mountain, or inside the mountain.
Many of the mountains had abandoned collapsed tunnels, and the temple often squeezed into them in an instant, making it difficult for humans to find it.
Even Lan Mu had to dig for half a day to find the temple.
"The reason why the temple is rarely seen is because it enters the mountain, and the probability of being discovered by small animals is very low, so it hides in the mountain all year round."
"Occasionally, creatures like pangolins and ants will inadvertently discover it, and it will be possible to see the light of day."
Lan Mu found the temple for the twelfth time, and this time he was determined to go in and explore.
"Phew …"
When he walked in, he immediately fell into a half-awake state.
It might have been five minutes, or it might have only been a few seconds.
When he came back to his senses, he looked around, and he was still standing in the temple.
The internal structure was exactly the same as the previous temple, but the scenery outside the temple was completely different.
"This must be Shambhala."
Lan Mu only took a glance and immediately knew that he was in Shambhala.
There was no other place in the world with such a beautiful scenery.
Eight grasslands and eight towering snow-capped mountains. The snow-capped mountains and grasslands were separated by a very regular arrangement.
If one were to look down from above, Shambhala would look like a standard octagon if the adjacent snowy mountains were connected by lines.
These eight grasslands and snowy mountains were shaped like lotus flowers, surrounding and protecting a magnificent town in the center.
The town was surrounded by all kinds of fruit trees and lakes. Birds chirped, flowers bloomed, and butterflies danced in the air.
The forest and the lake were separated by eight lotus flowers, arranged closely together. Big, plump fish jumped on the surface of the lake, and ripe fruits swayed on the treetops.
However, this was actually a sealed world. Lan Mu was in the temple on top of the snowy mountain, and his spiritual power probed into the distance.
The snow mountain seemed to be the edge of the world. Any further and his spiritual power would be blocked.
"The world has borders?" Lan Mu didn't choose to go to the city. Instead, he climbed the snow mountain and ran towards the so-called border.
When he stood on a relatively flat slope at the top of the snowy mountain, he stopped in front of an impassable wall.
The wall was like a mirror, reflecting Lan Mu and the scenery behind him.
"This is the wall, the entire Shambhala is wrapped in it."
"Legend has it that Shambhala is a happy kingdom made up of 9.6 million cities, but this is the 9.6 million?"
There was only one city-state that Lan Mu had seen.
The mirrored wall reflected the city's shadow, in the sky, on the ground, a mirror within a mirror …
In the mirror, there was an infinitely deep world. Because of the many layers of reflection, it really did look like 9.6 million cities.
But that was only the reflection of the mirror. Shambhala was sealed in a small world, less than 100 kilometers from east to west, and there was only one city.
"Even so, the world of Shambhala is already amazing …"
"The temple is an anomaly. Then, did the temple create this world, or was it just an entrance?"
Lan Mu was sure that this was no longer Earth, because he couldn't sense the 1080 anomalies from before.
But the world of Shambhala also had anomalies. Excluding the Bastet Metal he brought with him, there were only 3.
Lan Mu didn't go to the town, but instead spent a day going over one snow mountain after another, entering one temple after another.
Eight snow mountains had eight temples, and all of them looked exactly the same, but Lan Mu couldn't sense anything when he entered.
There was no ability to teleport within 5 minutes, nor was there any ability to make people disappear.
In his perception, the treasure hunting ability also didn't care about the temples. Obviously, they didn't have any supernatural abilities.
"These are only the entrances, not the exits?"
"An anomaly in the sky, and two on the ground 50 kilometers away …"
"No abnormal radiation detected …"
Lan Mu ran towards the center of the world. He wasn't fast, and it would take him a long time to run a few dozen kilometers.
There were many gold and silver mines under the snow mountain, but most of them were exposed on the ground, and no one cared about them.
There were herds of cattle, sheep, and horses grazing on the grassland, and no one cared about them at all. The cattle and sheep grazed freely, and the horses ran happily.
Just going through the grassland to the forest took half a day.
It had been a day and a half since he entered Shambhala, and Lan Mu was shocked to find that there were no pests in the entire Shambhala …
The animals were very monotonous, and there were only some that humans liked. There were no ugly, fierce, or aggressive animals at all.
"Hmm … except for the snakes."
In the forest, Lan Mu found a few snakes, but they were all non-venomous.
"This is definitely not a natural world … There are signs of artificial creation everywhere. This kind of ecosystem is too unscientific."
"However, an unscientific world has an unscientific ability to make up for it …"
Lan Mu remembered that when he crossed the grassland, he saw many areas that had been eaten clean by cattle and sheep. The bare surface showed that the ecosystem was beginning to be destroyed by the invincible cattle and sheep.
At that time, he thought that such grassland wouldn't last long, and in a few years, it would become a desert!
But … when he was about to enter the forest, there was a heavy rain.
The sky was covered by strange clouds all year round, and the fresh rain poured into the grassland, and the grass that had been eaten grew back.
"This rain … is definitely an anomaly, right?"
"It can be absorbed!"
The life orb spun, and Lan Mu was pleasantly surprised. This rain contained a trace of an anomaly.
Although it was very little, the effect was different from before …
Lan Mu had already sensed the anomaly in the sky, and this rain allowed him to know that it had the ability to revive plants.
As long as it was an anomaly, Lan Mu was determined to obtain it!
…
The eight lakes divided the forest into eight sections. Beside the lake, near the town, there was also a circle of fertile farmland.
Behind the farmland was a cluster of houses. A group of Asian people were bored to death, teasing the watchdog and eating juicy fruits, but they stayed a few meters away from each other and didn't chat.
Lan Mu crossed the farmland and saw that the corn and rice here were already ripe, but no one was willing to harvest them.
"The people here are a bit strange …"
Everyone's expression was very calm, so calm that it was numb.
Because there were no walls, Lan Mu directly passed through the buildings, and the deeper he went, the more luxurious the buildings became.
At the center of the town was a towering palace, surrounded by temples, dojos, and Confucian halls.
This was a city where Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism were all gathered.
People were either chanting sutras, sleeping, or having sex.
On the wide bed, silk cloth covered the activities of men and women. Lan Mu wasn't interested in looking at it, as he knew what they were doing without even looking.
Lan Mu was secretly amused, and suddenly realized that there was something wrong with the people of Shambhala.
More than 30 hours had passed here, and the sun didn't change at all, remaining bright and beautiful.
The weather was pleasant, neither hot nor cold. There were no four seasons, and there was no difference between day and night.
The lakes were always filled with fat fish, the farmland grew on its own, and the cattle and sheep were freely grazed. None of this required any effort from the people, and the resources were abundant to the point of numbness.
This place was like heaven, but also like hell.
There were no thieves, because everything that everyone had, everyone else also had.
There were no disputes, because everyone lived in harmony and contentment.
There would be no novelty, because everything here was the same, in a kind of awkward eternity.
All the information that Lan Mu's spiritual power explored made him feel that the biggest feature of this place was boredom.
The spiritual world was extremely empty, and there was no pain or crime. Perhaps the only entertainment was the primitive behavior of human reproduction.
If a person had lived here since birth, then they would be peaceful.
However, if someone had experienced the outside world and then entered here, what they would feel … was extreme emptiness.
In the corner of the town, Lan Mu suddenly found a group of different people with depressed faces.
They gathered together and communicated in English, and Lan Mu found Fang Moqi and others among them.
"It seems that the missing people are indeed here, did they band together?"
On the clean street without a trace of dirt, Lan Mu quickly ran to the palace in the center of the town.
