247 (Ancient City Chapter: Crystal Tombstone)
It is said that the body of the princess was buried under the roots of this ancient tree, and when the second princess died, the city lord specially held a grand funeral for the second princess, which lasted for more than half a month. Now that so many years have passed, the city lord still mourns the princess's spirit in the sky every year on the day of the princess's death......" The old man looked up at the ancient tree and sighed deeply.
"Do you want to worship the second princess?" After the old man sighed, he looked at the six people in front of him, and kept asking the second princess, he should have wanted to pay tribute to their great second princess.
"If you can, please tell the second princess where she is hiding......" Qian Yun stared at the old man with burning eyes, waiting for the old man's instructions.
"You guys, come with me......"
The old man was on crutches, looking at Qian Yun's eyes so hot, it seemed that he had come this time to worship the second princess.
They were brought to the side of the ring.
"Is this ring-shaped city where the city lord lives? Why is it built so tall and surrounded by this ancient tree? Hua Xinyue looked at the hundred-foot-high city wall in front of her, and was a little shocked.
The old man replied: "This city wall was built by the city lord thousands of years ago, just when the second princess died...... The lord of the castle claimed that this would be the only way to better protect the ancient tree. ”
The old man led the six of them to a place where they could enter the city wall, where two guards were standing at this time, standing straight. The old man just nodded at them, and the two guards got out of the way, and without saying a word, the old man managed to lead the six into the city walls.
This old man is definitely not simple, after all, they are just outsiders, even if the old man recognizes them as people from Yunxian Mountain, he can't trust them so much, and they don't know the identity of the old man, in case the old man is strong, he can put one person into the six of them, maybe it's okay.
Everyone followed the old man into the city wall while being vigilant.
Within the city walls, the roads are all twisted and turned, and all of them are the roots of ancient trees, as if the palaces of ancient cities were built on the rhizomes of ancient trees.
In the distance, it looks like a mountain road with eighteen bends, and you must always be vigilant when walking on the road, because both under their feet and above their heads, there are the roots and vines of ancient trees, as if they have reached a maze of roots. So much so that everyone walked much more carefully than usual, for fear that one would accidentally tripped over the roots of the tree and fell to the ground.
"Is the palace road of the ancient city so complicated?" Wu Ningnuan pulled the corners of her mouth in embarrassment.
Shuttling between the roots of the tree, looking left and right to observe the rhizome of this ancient tree, the thick roots are very tough, no wonder this tree can grow to the side of the cliff.
The old man ignored Wu Ningnuan's complaints, and just walked forward on his own, urging a few of them to follow.
After walking for a long time, the old man took the six of them to a tree hole, the periphery of the tree hole, surrounded by many ancient tree saucers, like flowers, hovering around the tree hole, after seeing someone coming, they scattered one after another, making room for them to walk, and they landed on other tree roots and vines, slightly fanning their wings, vigilantly observing the people who came.
The old man's crutches were in front of his legs, and he looked at a tombstone in the cave in front of him, and said to the six outsiders behind him, "We have arrived at ......"
Ye Xian'er's tomb has only one tombstone, which is a tombstone made of crystal, crystal clear, and engraved: The tomb of Ye Xian'er, the second princess of the ancient ancient city.
The hollow/interior is unremarkable, but the tombstone is well preserved, and even though it has been erected here for thousands of years, it is still as new as ever.
Everyone looked at this scene and couldn't help but feel sorry for it.
Only Qian Yun couldn't believe everything in front of her, she thought it was at least a tombstone, but she didn't think it was just a tombstone.
Is it because I am afraid that someone will be worried about the princess's body, so I only put a tombstone here?
Zi Ling'er thought about it, turned her eyes to look at the old man, and saw that the old man had seriously worshiped the crystal tablet, and then Zi Ling'er asked: "I have a doubt, I don't know whether to talk about it or not?" ”
The old man turned his head to look at Zi Ling'er's eyes and said, "But it's okay to say it......"
"It's about the death of the princess." Zi Ling'er looked at the old man with a serious face. Sanjiu Chinese Network
"Let's talk about this matter when we leave here......" The old man glared at Zi Ling'er, and began to prepare to return the same way with his crutches, after all, they are still in front of the tomb of the second princess, and it is too disrespectful to say that the cause of the second princess's death is now.
"Thank you...... Zi Ling'er bowed and thanked him first, and then followed the old man to prepare to walk back.
It seemed that seeing Zi Ling'er and them leave, those ancient tree saucers began to fall back on the edge of the tree hole and the crystal tablet.
The ancient tree saucer is not afraid of people, nor does it hide, even if Zi Ling'er sees them and wants to touch them, they are not afraid, and let Zi Ling'er touch them.
"Wow, their wings are like real flowers...... Zi Ling'er sighed at the wings of these ancient tree saucers, which felt as soft as moist petals to the touch.
More ancient tree saucers were hovering around Ling Shan, and a few bold ancient tree saucers were lying on top of Ling Shan's head.
"Poof......" Zi Ling'er looked at the top of Ling Shan's head with a smile and patted Hua Xinyue.
Hua Xinyue turned her head, looked at the top of Ling Shan's head pointed by Zi Ling'er, and said with a smile: "Ling Shan, you seem to have a flower on your head, like a big girl with yellow flowers...... Hahaha. ”
At this time, Ling Shan's hair was scattered, his skin was very good, white and tender, his figure was thin, and his appearance was also soft and a little handsome, and the two ancient tree saucers parked above his head became the finishing touch, making Ling Shan look more pretty, and the appearance of Ling Shan was more outstanding.
Seeing this, Ling Shan let those ancient tree saucers leave, and all of them fell on the heads of Hua Xinyue and Zi Ling'er, and soon the two of them couldn't laugh.
"Cut~ Lingshan cheating......" Zi Ling'er pinched her waist and pouted.
"It's ......" Hua Xinyue tacitly agreed with Zi Ling'er, pinching her waist and pouting.
During this time, the old man never turned his head and said that they were not, but walked forward silently, as if he did not see them playing at all.
The Ancient Tree Saucer stayed for a while, and then flew away, because they only wanted to stay next to the tombstone of the second princess, as if they wanted to protect the soul of the second princess.
Since the ancient tree saucer flew away, Zi Ling'er and their group returned quietly the same way.
The old man led them to his house, dragged out a chair and sat down, and then said, "You will stay with me tonight, and you can ask me any questions you have, old man......"
The old man's words seemed to be firm and could not be refused, exuding a sense of oppression.
At this time, you look at me, I look at you, and I don't know what to do next.
The old man's home is very large, like an inn, there are many rooms, enough for them to live in one room, the environment here is good, the yard is full of flowers, the house exudes the smell of wood, and it looks very clean.
"Okay......" Zi Ling'er didn't ask much, and agreed to the old man's arrangement, so it's okay, at least they don't have to look for a place to live.
"Huh? You're not curious, old man, why did I take you in? The old man raised his fairy eyebrows, and a rare expression of surprise appeared on his calm face.
"We're sure you won't hurt us." Zi Ling'er looked at the old man in front of her with a smile and replied quite confidently.
"You girl......"
The old man stroked his beard, looked at Zi Ling'er in front of him, and explained to himself, "If you don't ask, I still have to say it, this is the rule of our ancient ancient city." All the strangers who arrive in the ancient ancient city will stay in my house for a day, let me observe for a day, and if you think that people are suitable to continue to stay and live, our ancient city will take you in, if it is not suitable, I will tell the city lord, and let the city lord give an order to evict guests......"
The old man's words were light and light, as if there was no trace of emotion, as if this incident had happened to him many times, and he didn't care.
"We don't plan to stay in the ancient city for long, I remember we told you......" Wu Ningnuan kindly reminded, but in exchange for the old man's ruthless eyes.
