Covering the Sky: I, Wang Teng, truly lack the bearing of an emperor.

Chapter 183 Those Few Jet-Black Dog Hairs
Duan De's face was filled with shock.

He stopped, reached out, picked up a piece of dog hair in front of him, examined it carefully, and even sniffed it intently. His expression immediately changed.

"A living one! It must have just been here not long ago! These few hairs are still quite fresh!"

Duan De spoke very seriously.

As a qualified... no, an excellent historical explorer, he is highly professional in this regard!

You can glean a lot of inside information just from a few strands of hair!
This includes some basic information about the other party.

"That shouldn't be! This place has been abandoned by the Yaochi Holy Land for so many years, and there are almost no records of it in ancient books. How could other living beings from the mortal world have come here?"

Another voice rang out behind Duan De.

It was none other than Wuliang, the compassionate monk and one of the two unscrupulous and immoral individuals!
The two of them had been committing crimes in the Southern Region for too long, and were now being hunted down by the Ji family and the Jiang family of the Yao Guang Holy Land. Even some forces that had not suffered any losses came to join in the fun.

The net of heaven is vast and inescapable; they could no longer survive in the Southern Region and had no choice but to slink away to the Northern Region.

Then, the two of them pieced together their experiences and observations and "surprisingly" found the old site of the Yaochi Holy Land, which led to their current conversation.

“It doesn’t make sense, but there are indeed a few dark dog hairs here…” Duan De pondered, unsure of the situation.

As everyone knows, the scariest thing about tomb raiding is not encountering so-called ghosts, but encountering living ones!

If you encounter ghosts or spirits, you can use your professional knowledge to deal with it; if you can't, there are other methods.

However, encountering them alive means being exposed—not only their actions, but also their identities, which could lead to endless pursuit.

It's like in the Southern Region.

Therefore, Duan De hesitated.

"Don't worry too much, brother. It's probably just some stray dog ​​that happened to crawl into this hole," Wu Liang comforted him.

“That’s the old site of the Yaochi Holy Land. If the location had really been exposed, how could no one else have come? Instead, there are only a few dog hairs left here all alone?” Wu Liang continued.

Duan De thought there was some truth to this, and more importantly, the site ahead was the former site of the Yaochi Holy Land!

The holy land of Yaochi!

A sacred place that produced an ancient emperor!

It has an ultimate imperial weapon in its fold!
Back then, the sudden relocation of the Yaochi Holy Land was a mystery to everyone at that time, and after so many years, no useful information has been revealed.

No one knows why the Yaochi Holy Land was suddenly relocated, or what treasures it was buried at the old site that it didn't have time to take with it.

Therefore, as a professional scholar who is passionate about exploring history, Duan De certainly wouldn't miss this opportunity!
And so, the fat man and the thin man walked along the not-so-large pit.

Neither of them spoke, both concentrating intently.

After all, this was once the site of an extremely glorious holy land. If nothing had happened, why would the Yaochi Holy Land have moved away?
After traveling for dozens of miles, they finally saw the light and came to a dried-up amber.

Wu Liang thought back for a moment and realized that it was indeed the path that Hei Huang and the others had taken.

Just as Wu Liang was pondering, Duan De suddenly let out a wail, looking utterly grief-stricken as if he had lost a loved one. He rushed out in a few steps and grabbed a fish skeleton that was nearly ten feet long.

"Such a large fish, once kept in the sacred spring of the Jade Pool, would probably have become a spirit long ago, its flesh and blood likely turning into a great medicine! But it just rotted away like this! Only bones remain!"

Duan De was heartbroken.

These things are extremely precious. If they were truly alive, each one would fetch an astronomical price, perhaps even the supreme elders of a holy land would make an offer. Yet, here lie so many of these bones. This is utterly a waste!
"We're too late!" Duan De said, heartbroken.

Wu Liang had nothing to say.

After a while, Duan Decai recovered somewhat and led Wuliang to continue deeper into the area.

There are no cultural relics left here, so there is no need to stay here for long.

The former site of the Yaochi Holy Land was incredibly magnificent, and even though it has been abandoned, it still exudes grandeur.

Whether it's the beautiful mountains and rivers, the towering ancient trees, or the abandoned palaces and pavilions in the distance, it's easy to see that the once sacred Yaochi was truly extremely powerful!

Of course, Duan De did not let his guard down even after arriving inside the former site of the Yaochi Holy Land.

His biggest fear was encountering a "prehistoric beast" that looked like a black dog around some corner.

Fortunately, the entire site of the Yaochi Holy Land was exceptionally quiet, without any movement. He could even hear his good brother's breathing.

Even so, he was extremely cautious.

Neither of them were familiar with the old site of the Yaochi Holy Land, so they could only explore as they went.

After some time, they finally found the former library of the Yaochi Holy Land.

The inscription on the plaque above is still in the style of that era. To be honest, if it were an ordinary person, they probably wouldn't know what this hall is even if they stood in front of the plaque.

However, Duan De was no ordinary person. As an outstanding archaeologist, he had a deep understanding of ancient texts and could tell the purpose of the hall with just one glance.

However, when the two arrived inside the library, they were greatly disappointed.

In the vast library, there wasn't a single book that could be called a book, or anything related to written records.

All the books here seemed to have been moved out, leaving only some wooden shelves that held jade slips, which stood forlornly in the hall.

Duan De refused to believe in superstition and split up with Wu Liang. The two of them searched the entire library, but in the end, they found nothing.

All the books here were moved away; not a single one remains.

Duan De gritted his teeth in anger, but he still refused to give up easily. He even squatted there and carefully knocked on some bookshelves in the library, trying to find some classic books hidden in the shelves.

He even carefully examined the walls and pillars of the main hall, trying to see if he had missed anything, but to his great disappointment, nothing was left behind.

"The Jade Pool Holy Land is really something! It didn't leave behind any records!" Duan De said breathlessly.

Wu Liang, however, thought it was perfectly normal.

After all, for any power, inheritance is the most important thing.

Even if the Yaochi Holy Land were to be relocated, or even if they were to be destroyed, their heritage would be well protected and would not be easily found.

"Forget it, the truth of history isn't just in the books! Compared to written records, I'm more willing to believe those tombs that are free from any subjective emotions!" Duan De quickly changed his mind.

With a wave of his hand, he led Wuliang to search for the cemetery of the Yaochi Holy Land.

However, as he searched, he realized something seemed amiss...
