Chapter 308: Taiyuan Castle
At the top of the mountain, the purple cloud hovered.
It was a clear night, and if there were no purple clouds, the sky would be full of stars on such a high mountain.
However, because of the purple clouds, the moonlight could only pour down through the purple clouds.
The moonlight was also dyed purple and fell on the white Taiyuan Ruins, and the entire ruins seemed to be dyed purple as well.
At that time, Taiyuan, the prince of Penglai, chose Taiyuan Mountain as his new territory, and he took a group of relatives and subordinates to settle in Taiyuan Mountain, which was still a wasteland at that time.
How many people Prince Taiyuan brought with him is no longer historically accurate.
But judging from the number of houses in the Taiyuan Ruins, this number will not go down to a hundred, because the number of houses in the entire Taiyuan City is as many as hundreds.
White is the main color of the Taiyuan Ruins.
The buildings here, from the private houses to the mansion of the lord of Taiyuan City, are all polished with white stone, just like a village in a fairy tale.
Follow the moss-covered steps and climb the stairs.
The cold wind blowing from the top of the mountain was blowing in my ears, and in the middle of the night, there was silence in the ruins, and I couldn't even hear the sound of insects.
Keep going.
At the highest point of Taiyuan Mountain, on the steepest mountain wall near the ocean, there is a miracle castle covering an area of more than ten acres.
It was indeed a castle, more magnificent and more magical than the castle in the castle album of the Middle World that Yun Sheng had seen in modern times.
This castle is the Taiyuan City Lord's Mansion, which was built by the Penglai prince Taiyuan with a lot of money.
When the Taiyuan City Lord's Mansion was first built, the scenery was infinite, it was like a pearl on Taiyuan Mountain, shining with dazzling light both day and night.
But since Taiyuan City was destroyed overnight, this place has become a forbidden place in the mouth of the outside world.
If it weren't for the Starry Sky Magic Array of the Law Temple this time, the Eight Desolation Artifacts were hidden here, I'm afraid no one would have broken into this place again.
The Taiyuan City Lord's Mansion, like the other dwellings in the Taiyuan Ruins, is already incomplete.
However, compared to the ordinary dwellings in the ruins of Taiyuan, the damage to the castle is even worse.
It seemed to have experienced something like an earthquake or a hurricane, and it was like a terrible thunderstorm, and the entire city lord's mansion was shattered in half.
Its dome-shaped roof rolled to the ground like a guillotine's severed head by an executioner.
The walls and gates have also collapsed.
But if you look closely, whether it is the walls or the masonry, every brick and tile of the Taiyuan City Lord's Mansion is carved from priceless ivory.
Even after the terrible changes hundreds of years ago, every ivory is still as new as new.
Through the broken walls and sloping door panels, you can see the luxurious scene of the former castle lord's mansion.
The ground was inlaid with magnificent marble, and the magic fountain that had dried up fell to the ground.
There were also a large number of gold coins and precious stones scattered on the ground in the City Lord's Mansion, including some soul stones.
These things alone have already made most of the people on the Wuji Continent crazy, as long as they take some away at will, it is enough to make many people worry about food and clothing for life.
But all this, for hundreds of years, has been sprinkled on the ground like this, silently.
The night was getting darker.
At this time, from the deepest part of the City Lord's Mansion, a strange sound came from somewhere.
Because it was too far away, Yun Sheng and the others, who were still on the ridge, could not hear the sound here.
The voice was soft at first, but as time went on, it grew louder.
"Knock Knock Knock"
"Whew"
It's like someone is underground, banging, trying to break free from some dungeon.
It is like a prisoner who has been tortured, who has been severely punished, overwhelmed, and panting.
The sound of beating and panting sounded all night, and it was only after the first rays of morning light appeared that the sound gradually faded away.
On the ridge, Yun Sheng had finished his early morning meditation.
She unexpectedly found that after entering Taiyuan Mountain, despite the dangers, under the effect of celestial meditation, the magic power in her body had stabilized a lot, and she had faintly jumped from the first level of the Sky Wizard to the middle level of the Sky Magician.
It's just a few days and nights of hard work, and there is such gratifying progress, Taiyuan Mountain is indeed a very mysterious place.
"The hour is not much worse, we are ready to go," Lan and Dugu Xiu each reorganized their people, and several other major forces also walked towards the Taiyuan Ruins together.
After turning over a not too steep mountain road, the ruins of Taiyuan finally appeared in front of me.
So quiet.
It's beautiful.
This is the feeling of everyone entering the Taiyuan Ruins in order.
There was no sound around except for the whirring sea breeze.
It's like a forgotten corner of the world, with thousands of houses scattered across this flat ridge.
Taiyuan, the prince of Penglai, must be a very good person in government affairs, Taiyuan City is not large, but it is the size of a village, but the houses here, no matter how tall or short, are the same.
Outside the house, there are unified animal circles for captive demonic beasts and some traces of magic arrays.
The ditches in the city are vertical and horizontal, and the water conservancy is very convenient to repair.
For example, there is a magic water supply device in the dormitory, and when the magic array is driven, clean water will flow out of the faucet.
In addition, there are also a large number of magic arrays in the dwellings, which can be used for heating and cooking, and it can be seen that Taiyuan City at that time had a high degree of magic popularization, and most of the residents knew magic.
Between the houses, there are neat paths.
Judging from the situation more than 500 years ago, Taiyuan City was comparable to any powerful city-state on the Wuji Continent today, both in terms of economy and residence.
It's just that this also increases everyone's confusion about why such a quiet city outside the world would decline overnight.
Due to the purple clouds, the sunlight at the top of the mountain is not strong.
The ground is covered with emerald green weeds.
Instead of rushing forward to find the City Lord's Mansion, everyone went to the nearby houses to take a look.
After five or six days of trumpeting, there was not much food and water on everyone.
Although they did not have great hopes, they still wanted to see if they could find any food and water in the houses.
Because of the Taiyuan ruins, sixty or seventy percent of the houses have been destroyed, or collapsed or the walls have collapsed.
Lan and Yunsheng searched for about a quarter of an hour before they found a relatively lightly damaged house.
They pushed open the hidden door, and all they could hear was a creak.
The door opened.
This is a north-facing south-facing house, with a total of three entrances, the entrance is the hall, and the side is the bedroom.
In the hall, everything is set up normally.
"Yun Sheng, look," Senior Sister Lan pointed to the dining table in the hall.
On the dinner table, there were still dishes and chopsticks, as well as a few plates of dishes that had not been eaten in time.
