Chapter 356 Clouds Disrupt the Tianshan Mountains, Stirring Thousand Layers of Snow (3) Ruins
After crossing the bridge, the road ahead was a stone path, spreading forward windingly, but the road was not straight. Judging from its direction, there were both those leading to the back of the mountain and those leading directly to the top of the peak. Xiao Yao didn't know where Lingjiu Palace was, so he didn't want to miss any place, so he walked around and walked towards the road leading to the back of the mountain.
Following the stone path, Xiao Yao walked around a valley, and suddenly a narrow path like a stone alley appeared in front of him. Clouds and mists floated around the mountain, and he didn't look at things within a few feet. He walked slowly. Before he could take a few steps, he saw something on the ground not far away. When he got closer, he found that it was two horizontally placed dead bones, obviously he had been dead for some years. Seeing these two corpses, Xiao Yao was shocked and hurriedly checked around, but he did not see other corpses again. It was thought that these two might have been attacked halfway.
After being brutally killed by the enemy, this place became their burial place. Seeing this scene, he continued to walk forward, but after a circle, there was no other valuable discovery except for a few traces of fighting. Obviously, this place was not an important place on Piaomiao Peak. However, Xiao Yao was not discouraged. He followed the path and walked quickly to the top of the peak. He walked higher and higher, and the white fog around him became thicker. In less than an hour, he had reached the peak of Piaomiao Peak. In the clouds and mist, there were pine trees.
Seeing these stout pine trees, Xiao Yao was shocked and suddenly felt joyful. Although the pine trees in front of him were twisted and looked very messy, as if they were naturally formed, they were planted in a very particular way. They were all planted on both sides of a bluestone road, and the bluestones were about eight feet long and three feet wide, and very neat. Although the clouds and mist were surrounded, it was impossible to see the scenery in the distance, but this alone was enough to determine that the stone road was not formed naturally, and the pine trees on both sides of the road were also human.
For the sake of planting, the reason why it looks very messy may be that after the destruction of the Lingjiu Palace, no one has ever managed it for more than a hundred years, so it gradually became deserted. Xiao Yao stepped on the road, and after a while, his body was wet with clouds, but he didn't care at all, because after walking through this bluestone Avenue, which was about two miles long, a huge stone fort stood tall at the end of the stone road. There was a stone-carved violin on each side of the fort gate, which was more than three meters tall, with sharp beaks and giant claws, and extraordinary virgins.
Xiao Yao slowly walked to the castle gate, and it was not until this time that he truly felt the shock brought to him by this building. There is no doubt that this stone fort was the Lingjiu Palace, which was famous in the world and ruled the heroes of the Central Plains martial arts coastal areas.
Pushing open the half-covered fort gate, Xiao Yao flashed in. The scene in front of him surprised him. He saw that the huge courtyard was covered with weeds, and some weapons were thrown scattered on the ground. There was a deserted and blew-stricken scene wherever he saw. Other places were covered with clouds and mists, so they could not see clearly. However, when the breeze blew, they could vaguely see those missing corners of pavilions or collapsed houses. Xiao Yao walked through the clouds and mists and walked casually in Lingjiu Palace. He saw that he had indeed lost his vitality everywhere. Many courtyards had long collapsed and turned into a pile of broken stones and tiles. Most of the remaining undamaged houses were occupied by wild weeds. In addition to some well-preserved stone sculptures, they could still feel the majesty of Lingjiu Palace back then, all the remaining buildings were only considered broken walls and ruins, and the sight was solemn.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Yao was also sighing in his heart, thinking that even though he was such a giant, it could not withstand the passing of time and the years urged him to grow old. While he was feeling, he suddenly felt something was wrong, so he stood still and thought about it carefully. After a while, he suddenly slapped his thighs, looked at the ruins, as if he was talking to himself: "There is a problem."
After saying a word, he looked left and right and walked straight towards a waste stone. The stone might have been the wall of a stone house next to him, but now it was scattered on the ground with some other gravels. Xiao Yao walked to the edge of the stone, squatted down and reached out to touch it with his hand, and a thick layer of moss mud suddenly touched his fingertips. After rubbing the layer of moss, Xiao Yao stood up thoughtfully and looked elsewhere, with a look of confusion on his face.
It turned out that after Xiao Yao saw that the Lingjiu Palace had become a ruin, he suddenly remembered that the 36 Cave Lords who planned to rebel against the Tianshan Tonglao, the 72 Island Masters attacked Piaomiao Peak and fought with the girls of the Juntian tribe, but later Xu Zhu defeated the heroes with the skills passed down by Tonglao. Later, he found a secret room and learned the Tianshan Liuyang Palm Palm and Tianshan Zhemei Hand to remove the life and death talismans for these people. He treated each other with sincerity and respected each other with courtesy. Although the heroes were all arrogant figures, they were also grateful to Huaide and convinced. At that time, Duan Yu was making jokes and used his words to make the 36 Cave Lords. From then on, the 72 Island Masters had no intention of rebelling again. When they went down the mountain, they all thanked each other. How could these people make the Lingjiu Palace look like this?
It was precisely because of this that Xiao Yao suddenly remembered the Manikhism that Du Daxun mentioned accidentally before, saying that these people had come to inquire about Lingjiu Palace decades ago, but they left in disappointment because they were "no trace". He did not think that Du Daxun intended to conceal the Manikhism and lied to him, but he remembered that perhaps the Manikhists used a trick to hide the truth from the world. Maybe they found Lingjiu Palace and got what they wanted, but in order to deceive others, they lied to the outside world that they had not found anything. They pretended to be angry and scattered all their anger on the local herders, and after killing and oppressing them, they
Then he left with satisfaction. He just picked off a layer of moss with his hands to verify this idea. After all, if Xu Zhu couldn't convince the public back then, although he temporarily suppressed the rebellion of the heroes, but later he was bullied by the cave masters and island masters who were used to capriciously attacking Piaomiao Peak again, then it would be no wonder that Lingjiu Palace would be like today. But if the Manichaeists found this place and took action to destroy it, the time between the two was nearly a hundred years, and this period was not short. It could be clearly seen through some traces left on the ruins by time.
