Chapter 171: Ancient Ruins
This morning, neither of them mentioned parting, but chatted with each other.
Gu Xiaoxian is not in shape, and she does not have the reserve that her daughter's family should have, although it is due to her personality, but more, it seems to dilute the sadness of parting.
Ling Yan was not as taciturn as before, but he was willing to say a few more words to Gu Xiaoxian. These were once all wastes of time in his eyes, but now he looked at the smiling people in front of him, but he also understood a little why people always like to talk about innocuous gossip.
The leisurely time passed little by little, and after a simple breakfast between the two, Gu Xiaoxian took out another set of tea sets and prepared to make tea.
Seeing this, Ling Yan made a stone table and two stone piers outside the cave.
Although Gu Xiaoxian didn't understand the tea ceremony, every time she went to Ling Yan, Ling Yan would always pour her a cup of tea, so when she went out this time, she also brought a tea set and spiritual tea, which were prepared for Ling Yan.
Although, in the end, it was the spiritual tea provided by Ling Yan, but it didn't matter, after all, Ling Yan's private collection must be much better than the goods sold on the street, the aura was richer, the taste was mellow, and Gu Xiaoxian was also happy to enjoy it.
The two of them drank tea and basked in the sun, which was very comfortable.
After a while, Tang Feng led the person Ling Yan was looking for to ask for a meeting.
Although Ling Yan didn't tell the Tang family the location of his cave mansion, he didn't deliberately hide his aura, not to mention that the cave mansion was not far from Tianyuan City, if Tang Feng couldn't find him in this way, then the Tang family really didn't need to mix in Tianyuan City.
Tang Feng personally brought people here, which was enough to show the sincerity of the Tang family. Except for Tang Feng and the stall owner, there were no other idlers.
After all, Ling Yan chose to build the cave mansion outdoors, so he said that he didn't want too many people to disturb him, as the ancestor of the Tang family, he had lived for thousands of years, if he didn't even have this in his eyes, it would really be in vain.
Therefore, Tang Feng didn't bring extra people this time, just him and the stall owner.
Tang Feng descended the clouds from a long distance and came on foot, as soon as he saw Ling Yan, he hurriedly bowed and said, "Junior, meet the Xuanxing God King." ”
The stall owner behind him fell to the ground tremblingly, kowtowed heavily, and said in fear: "Knock, knock to see Lord God King!"
Then he kowtowed heavily to Gu Xiaoxian and said, "Knock on the fairy girl." ”
"Poof~" Gu Xiaoxian couldn't help laughing when she heard this title, but she quickly retracted again, she was a "fairy girl", and she couldn't embarrass the God King.
"It was the villain who had eyes and didn't know Mount Tai, which angered the god king and the fairy girl, and asked the god king and the fairy girl not to remember the villain and spare the villain's life. The villain, both old and young, are waiting for the villain to feed......" The stall owner was in tears when he said this, and he kept begging for mercy.
Ling Yan only said that he would let the Tang family find someone, but he didn't say anything, this stall owner probably thought that his life was not guaranteed, but it was reasonable to have such a performance.
"Alright, be quiet, this king has something to ask you. Ling Yan frowned impatiently, obviously a little unable to stand the stall owner's noise.
The stall owner was startled, but he quickly shut up, realizing that things had taken a turn for the better, he hurriedly buckled his head and said, "Lord God King, please say, the villain must know everything." ”
"Where did you get the stone that this king bought yesterday?" Ling Yan went straight to the point and asked the question in his heart, which was also the question that Gu Xiaoxian cared about the most.
"Back to the words of the God King, the villain did not dare to conceal it, this stone was actually picked up by the villain on a dead man. The stall owner said.
"Where did you pick it up?"
"Not far away, walk south from here, about four or five hours, you will see the ruins of a palace, most of the people in Tianyuan City know about it. But on weekdays, no one will go, and the villain is also passing by, and when he sees someone falling to the ground, he walks up to check, but at that time the person is already dead, and the villain is interested in wealth for a while, so he takes the man's storage bag. The stall owner told the truth.
Hearing this, Ling Yan looked at Tang Feng again, and Tang Feng hurriedly said, "There is indeed such a boundary outside Tianyuan City. ”
"What's so special?" Ling Yan asked.
"Back to the Xuanxing God King, the history of this palace has long been traceable, and it seems that since the establishment of Tianyuan City, it has been deserted. There was once speculation that the palace was an ancient ruin, so they went in droves to hunt for treasures, but it turned out that there was nothing special about it except waste stones. ”
"That's ......" Ling Yan frowned, looked at the stall owner again, and then probed his divine sense into the other party's sea of consciousness, but it was not to take his life, just to ensure the authenticity of the other party's words.
When Ling Yan read the stall owner's memories and confirmed that the other party was not lying, he was indeed just picking up the dead man's things, Ling Yan waved his hand and motioned for the two to leave.
Tang Feng saluted respectfully, and then left with a confused face, as if the stall owner who had survived the catastrophe.
"Let's go, too. After the two of them left, Ling Yan said.
"Well, there's no need to be in such a hurry. Gu Xiao said weakly.
"If it's too late, things will change, let's go see the situation first. Ling Yan shook his head, indicating that he would go and investigate first. If there is a spatial passage, which is obviously unstable, then it may disappear at any time.
"Oh. Gu Xiaoxian didn't seem to have a reason to refuse.
Ling Yan summoned the dragon horse out, and the two rode together, and the dragon horse could be regarded as resigned to his fate, and he didn't feel sorry for Gu Xiaoxian anymore.
With Ryoma's footsteps, it would take less than an hour to reach the destination, and Ling Yan supported Gu Xiaoxian as usual.
The two of them didn't say anything all the way, even Gu Xiaoxian, who had always been talkative, kept her mouth shut, the closer they got to their destination, the more they didn't know what to say, and it seemed that any words seemed redundant.
An hour is not long, but Gu Xiaoxian feels that he has just gotten on the back of the horse, but after a while, the dragon horse has already landed.
As far as the naked eye can see, there are broken stones all over the ground, and the huge stone pillars are crooked, each of which is ten meters in diameter and tens of nearly 100 meters long, but the original snow-white stone pillars are already mossy and dilapidated.
As far as the eye can see, all these white and green stones are visible, and there is no end in sight.
It is hard to imagine how large a palace should have been located here, and why it has fallen into the shape it is today.
"It's here. Ling Yan said lightly.
Gu Xiaoxian looked at the spectacular scene around her, even the stone pillar that fell to the ground was like a huge barrier to her.
"Lord God King, your Starfall Pavilion is really stingy in comparison. Gu Xiaoxian said.
Ling Yan: "......"
