The castle gate is one of the busiest places in Kyoto, and there are many people coming and going on weekdays, so there are many vendors doing small business on the streets, and it is a bit noisy under the loud shouts.

Jiang Zuiyao and Qin Nanxian were talking, their eyes looked at the osmanthus cake sold outside from time to time, Qin Nanxian beckoned the man to come over and asked, "How do you sell osmanthus cakes?" ”

The vendor carried a wooden box on his back, lifted the food cloth, showed the osmanthus cake and said: "One penny a piece, five pennies and six yuan, try it, the osmanthus cake I made is a must at the city gate." ”

Qin Nanxian took out five cents and handed it to him, the vendor happily accepted it, neatly wrapped the osmanthus cake with paper, handed it to Qin Nanxian, and then turned around and shouted to sell himself, and walked into the crowd again.

Qin Nanxian handed the osmanthus cake to Jiang Zuiyao and said, "Here you go." ”

Jiang Zuiyao took the osmanthus cake and said, "I didn't want to eat it, it's just that he always turns outside the carriage, I just take a look." ”

Qin Nanxian replied with a smile: "It's okay, it's good to eat something to pad your stomach." ”

The osmanthus cake in his hand was hot, Jiang Zuiyao picked up a piece of it, and the taste was really delicious, sweet and glutinous.

While eating, Jiang Zuiyao suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, why hasn't there been any movement in the medical mansion of the Taixuan clan?" ”

Qin Nanxian, an ancient person, was a little incomprehensible for a while, and asked suspiciously: "Are you referring to the secret building?" ”

Jiang Zuiyao nodded, and Qin Nanxian said, "It's not that there is no movement, but the Queen Mother doesn't plan to let you know about the future." ”

Jiang Zuiyao asked suspiciously, "What's the matter?" ”

Qin Nanxian shook his head again: "I don't know, although I am the nephew of the Queen Mother, there are many things that the Queen Mother doesn't want me to know, and I don't know." You don't have to worry, the reason why the Queen Mother spoils you so much is because of the secret building, the news will not be broken, and when the Queen Mother wants you to know, she will naturally let you know. ”

Hearing this, Jiang Zuiyao suddenly lost her appetite, holding the osmanthus cake in her hand, and she didn't have the heart to eat anything in her mouth.

Nowadays, a lot of things are just sitting and sitting aside.

Although she escaped from the Medical Building, she still left a lot of unfinished things, but she never knew anything anymore, and the Taixuan clan never came to trouble her, almost cut off contact.

There is also the epidemic in Beiyuan, she developed an antidote and handed it over to the imperial court, she doesn't know what the situation in Beifu is now, and she wants to ask the Queen Mother several times, but she can't ask every time.

Many things seem to be very mysterious, just like Qin Nanxian said, everything is decided by the Queen Mother, as long as she finishes the Queen Mother's instructions, there will be one more thing left for her to know.

At this time, the curtain of the carriage was opened, and it was Yuhyuk.

Yuhyuk only carried a small package, changed into a black robe, and had an extra cloth bag around his waist, and he didn't know what was inside.

Qin Nanxian looked at the sun outside and said, "You're late." ”

Yuhe replied: "There is something to delay halfway." ”

Qin Nanxian didn't ask why he was delayed, but said: "You should know the way, you can drive." ”

Yuhyuk nodded, picked up the whip in the carriage, sat outside and shouted, and the carriage went out of the city.

The rest of the day was peaceful and boring, hurrying during the day, sleeping at the inn at night, and walking like this for about twenty days.

After getting out of the carriage, Jiang Zuiyao only felt that his feet were a little weak, this was because of the bumps in the road, and he looked around, it was a very desolate wasteland.

Jiang Zuiyao asked, "Where is this?" ”

Qin Nanxian shook his head: "I don't know, Yuhe should be clear." ”

But Yuhyuk has already gone away, and it seems that he can't wait.

Qin Nanxian and Jiang Zuiyao followed him all the way, walked from the wasteland into a dense forest, climbed over a mountain, and did not stop until evening.

What catches your eye is the wall of a castle tower, there is no plaque, and I don't know what kind of city it is.

The walls were mottled and dirty, and the empty gates were in tatters, which should have been an abandoned city.

Jiang Zuiyao looked at the surrounding environment, except for the endless mountains, there was nothing, but it felt a little hot compared to before, and I didn't know why it was hot.

Who would build a city in such a desolate place? Who lives inside?

The city gate is heavy and thick, and Yuhe used a lot of strength to push the city gate open a gap that can pass through people, and the ground is cut out by the city gate, and it seems that it has really been abandoned for a long time.

Yuhe and Qin Nanxian went in first, and as soon as the two of them passed through the city gate, they were stunned.

This made Jiang Zuiyao even more curious, and she asked, "What's wrong?" What's inside? ”

Neither of them spoke, Jiang Zuiyao walked sideways through the gap in the city gate, and when she saw everything in front of her, she was completely stunned.

Inside the city gate, there was not an unobstructed street, but a wild place, with lava flowing under the potholes, and when she looked up, it was a huge volcano, no wonder she felt a little hot outside.

This...... Where is this city?

To put it bluntly, it's just a city wall at the foot of the volcano, and there is no street to talk about, and there is not a single house.

Jiang Zuiyao asked in surprise, "What kind of place is this?" ”

Qin Nanxian didn't reply, because he didn't know either, he just looked at Yuhe.

Jiang Zuiyao reacted at this time, could it be said that this is the place where Yuhe was born? But how could this place be inhabited?

Yuhe said, "I'm going to go in and have a look." ”

Qin Nanxian said: "There is magma flowing underground, which is very dangerous. ”

Yuhe said coldly: "If you are afraid, wait for me here." ”

After saying this, he left directly.

Jiang Zuiyao followed, and Qin Nanxian asked, "It's not safe inside." ”

Jiang Zuiyao jumped over the pothole, avoided the hot magma, and replied, "Don't you wonder why this place is inhabited? I want to check it out. ”

Since Jiang Zuiyao went, Qin Nanxian followed.

In the potholes, you can see that the magma flows very slowly, but it is really hot, and the ground is hot.

When you go to the depths, you can realize that this wall is not on all sides, but on three sides, and the other side is connected to the volcano, enclosing such a place, and the whole city will go from the city gate to the end in less than an hour, very small.

Under the volcano, there is a large crater with a diameter of five zhang, which in modern terms, that is, about 16 meters, and the pit is full of magma, and it feels very hot and hot when it is far away.

Along the way, the hot Jiang Zuiyao was thirsty, she picked up the water belt and drank a sip of water, looking at Yuhe looking at the big pit, her face was very desperate.

Jiang Zuiyao walked over and asked, "Are you sure this is where you were born?" How can people live in such a place? Are you mistaken? ”

Yuhe replied firmly: "I won't be mistaken, I came to this place, and I remembered a lot of things along the way. ”
