From Xiaoao to travel around the world

Chapter 102 Vulture Palace Ruins
When it was getting dark, Yang Qing finally entered the city with the caravan.

It is said to be a city, but it is actually just a few more earthen walls than ordinary villages and towns.

Because the city is not big, it is no longer a strategic point.

Although there are many people coming and going for business, there is no strict identity check, as long as you give money, you will be allowed to pass.

After entering the city, Yang Qing took a rough look around and saw Turks, Khitans, Hans and even Western Semu people intertwined in the crowd with different clothes and hair accessories.

Or peddling along the street, or walking shoulder to shoulder.

Compared with the people's livelihood in the cities of the Southern Song Dynasty, although it is dilapidated, it is also more rough and open.

The strong exotic atmosphere is in stark contrast to the Central Plains.

After staying at the inn with Lao Yu, Yang Qing walked around the city again, and when he came back, the former had already brought an old man with a goatee waiting in the room.

After Lao Yuju's introduction, the old man named Li Yin cut to the chase and said, "I heard that you are going to Misty Peak to find the Vulture Palace?"

"Exactly."

Li Yin shook his head and said: "In this way, young master can go back home tomorrow."

Yang Qing frowned slightly, "Old man, if you have something to say, just say it."

"Young Master, don't worry." Li Yin took a sip of tea and said seriously: "You saved my old friend's family, and I can't fool you.

To tell you the truth, if it was more than a hundred years ago, no one would have dared to mention the name Vulture Palace within a radius of several hundred miles.but now……"

Seeing him cheating, Yang Qing didn't answer, just waiting for him to continue.

"Cough cough." After coughing twice, Li Yin continued: "I only remember that one year when I was a child, I heard someone say that Misty Peak suddenly collapsed and a palace was pressed under it.

Since then, people from all walks of life have been going to the mountains in an endless stream, some are talking about digging for treasures, and some are talking about looking for secret books.But what happened?
All went away empty-handed.

Some were unwilling to find someone to dig the mountain for a long time, but not only found nothing, but the cave collapsed and killed many people.

I also led people there at that time, there is no Vulture Palace, there is only a piece of rock left. "

"Has there been an earthquake in Tianshan?"

"Earthquake?" Li Yinwei frowned, and quickly said: "You mean an earthquake? No, I grew up here and never had an earthquake.

No one knew how the Vulture Palace collapsed. "

Yang Qing was both disappointed and thankful, disappointed that the Vulture Palace was buried deep underground, and someone had already explored it more than once.

Fortunately, I thought it would take a long time to search like Langhuan Fudi, but I didn't expect this to be no secret at all.

But since it's here, there's no reason not to take a look.

"Old man, please tell me the exact location."

Li Yin was entrusted by others, seeing that Yang Qing still did not give up, and did not shirk, he took a pen and paper and drew the route.

As for the gold and silver given by Yang Qing, he insisted on not accepting it.

After sending the two away, Yang Qing asked the clerk in the store to bring the food, and after they were full, they packed the dry food in advance, and then adjusted their breathing and exercised their kung fu overnight in the room.

Just after dawn, he left the inn alone.

According to the sketch drawn by Li Yin, from here to the Vulture Palace ruins, it takes about 400 miles of mountain road.

Although his power has only recovered [-]-[-]% now, it doesn't affect his performance of lightness kung fu.

Yang Qing only walked for one morning on this road that would take six or seven days for ordinary people.

The Vulture Palace is located in a warm and humid basin at the southern foot of Misty Peak. There used to be a market here, but it is now deserted.

When Yang Qing arrived, he saw that the place was covered with fresh flowers and plants, as if no one had ever lived here.

In the direction of the north towards the snow-capped mountains on the top of Misty Peak, there are obvious faults highlighted. A Wangqing Spring flows down along the faults on the mountain wall, merges into a stream in the basin, and then flows to the lower terrain with the exit.

There are jagged rocks below, and huge boulders can be seen everywhere, but there are no traces of buildings.

There were some dark holes around, and he went up to check them one by one, and some of them were blocked by bluestones after digging only a couple of feet;

Most of the deeper ones were blocked by falling rocks halfway, as if they had experienced landslides.

He followed the cliff to the top, and saw that there were several narrow holes dug straight down on the ground. Over time, they were covered with fragrant grass from the inside to the outside.

After throwing two stones in, there was a dull landing sound the next moment.

Knowing that the road was blocked, Yang Qing wandered around the mountains for a long time, but there was no clue.

As a last resort, he went back to the broken mountain wall and sat down.

Back then, this was probably the roof of Vulture Palace, but now it has collapsed into a pile of rocks below.

Stretching out his hand into the spring water next to him, he took out a ball of smoothie and put it in his mouth to chew.

He was thinking about going to another place to look, when out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw some tiny crystals behind the falling spring water, refracting the light.

Yang Qing leaned over to take a closer look, but there was a piece of thin ice adsorbed on the surface of the bluestone.

After being washed by running water, it will melt away after a while.

Seeing this situation, he was puzzled.

Although he used his true energy to condense ice to fetch water just now, his hands never touched the stone wall.

Suspicious, he watched patiently for a while, and sure enough, a thin piece of ice appeared on the bluestone after a while.

The bluestone on this cliff has been scoured by spring water for many years, and it has long been as smooth as a mirror.

The ice layer was transparently attached to the stone surface, covered by the water flow, and melted again in an instant.

If it wasn't for his extremely keen five senses, there would be absolutely no possibility of discovering it.

Realizing that there was something wrong with the stone wall, Yang Qing drew his sword and pierced a few holes in it, and then held it with one hand and lifted it. This piece of bluestone, which can only be hugged by two people, was lifted in the air.

And behind the bluestone, a cold mist suddenly emerged from the exposed hole.

When the fog cleared, he looked inside through the light of the sky, and saw that the hole was slanting downwards, how deep he had dug, and even with his eyesight, he couldn't see the end.

After thinking about it, he still put the bluestone aside and walked into the cave.

There were traces of chiseling around the wall of the cave, obviously someone dug it from the outside in, and it was not a way out arranged by the people from Vulture Palace.

After walking about 50 feet along the road, the entrance of the cave began to narrow, and after turning to the right once, the light gradually disappeared and the temperature in the air dropped sharply.

After lighting the fire folder, Yang Qing continued to move forward, until he was almost crawling on the ground, and finally found a vertically downward cave at the end.

He tore off a piece of clothing and lit it, throwing it in.

When Mars landed, he also followed to the ground.

After getting out of the cave, Yang Qing held up the fire and looked around. He was already in a simple and simple hall, and the surrounding was getting colder and colder.

This palace should have been very spacious in the past, but now most of it has collapsed, leaving only the corner where he accommodated, because of the stronger bearing capacity, it survived.

I don't know who dug this hole. Not only did they cut through all the hard stone walls, but they could also accurately find the only remaining space in the Vulture Palace, which is really incredible.

Seeing a portal ahead, Yang Qing walked over there.

As soon as he passed the door, he saw that in this small quiet room, there were actually four elderly women with goose skin and white hair, staring at him with sinister eyes!
……

　Since I wrote the novel, I have dreamed of the primary school head teacher twice.

　　I vaguely remember that when I was a child, she valued me very much. She often called me in front of the whole class, shouted at my face, and asked me: Why don’t you hand in your homework?
