Chapter 356: The clouds disturb the Tianshan Mountains and stir up a thousand layers of snow (3) Ruins

After crossing the overpass, there is a stone path that winds forward, but this road is not straight, and depending on its direction, there are some to the back of the mountain and some to the peak. Xiao Yao didn't know where the Vulture Palace was, so he didn't want to miss any place, so he walked and walked towards the road leading to the back of the mountain.

Following the stone path, Xiao Yao bypassed a mountain col, and a narrow road like a stone alley suddenly appeared in front of him. The clouds and mist in the mountains were drifting, and he couldn't see anything within a few feet in front of him, he walked slowly, and before he could take a few steps, he saw that there seemed to be something on the ground not far away, and when he got closer, it turned out to be two dry bones lying horizontally, apparently dead for some years. Seeing these two corpses, Xiao Yao's heart was shocked, and he hurriedly checked around, but did not see other corpses, thinking that these two people might have been attacked halfway, and after being killed by the enemy, this place became their burial place. Seeing this, he continued to walk forward, but after a circle, there was no other valuable appearance except for a few traces of the fight, and it was obvious that this was not an important place on the Ethereal Peak. However, Xiao Yao was not discouraged, followed the path, and walked briskly towards the peak, he walked higher and higher, the thicker the white fog around him, and in less than an hour, he had reached the peak of the ethereal peak, and in the clouds and mist, there were pine trees everywhere.

Seeing these stout and magnificent pine trees, Xiao Yao's heart was shocked, and he suddenly burst with joy. Although these pine trees in front of me are intricately branched and look very messy, as if they are naturally generated, they are planted in a very particular position, they are all planted on both sides of a bluestone paved avenue, and those bluestones are about eight feet long and three feet wide, very neat. Although the clouds cover the fog and make it difficult to see the scenery in the distance, this alone is enough to conclude that this stone road is by no means a natural formation, and the pine trees on both sides of the road are also artificially planted, as for the reason why it looks very messy, it may be because after the fall of this vulture palace, no one has operated here for more than a hundred years, so it has gradually been abandoned. Xiao Yao stepped on the avenue, and after a while, his body was wet with clouds and mist, but he didn't care, because after walking through the bluestone avenue that was about two miles long, at the end of the stone road, there was a huge stone castle standing majestically, and there was a stone eagle on the left and right sides of the fort gate, which was more than three feet high, with a sharp beak and huge claws, and the horse was extraordinary.

Xiao Yao slowly walked to the gate of the castle, and it was only at this time that he really felt the shock that this building brought him. There is no doubt that this stone fort is the Vulture Palace, which was famous in the past and dominated the coastal heroes of the Central Plains martial arts.

Pushing open the half-hidden fort door, Xiao Yao dodged in, but the scene in front of him surprised him, only to see the huge courtyard in the barren grass, and there were some blades scattered on the ground, as far as the eye could see, a barren and desolate scene, other places were covered by clouds and mist, and the other places were not very clear, but when the breeze blew, they could also vaguely see those pavilions that were missing a corner, or the houses that were falling down. Xiao Yao broke through the clouds and fog, walked in the Vulture Palace at will, only to see that everywhere had lost its vitality, many courtyards had already collapsed, becoming a pile of broken stones and broken tiles, and the only remaining undamaged houses, most of them were occupied by crazy weeds, except through some well-preserved stone carvings, you can still feel the majesty of the Vulture Palace, and the other remaining buildings can only be regarded as broken walls, as far as the eye can see, a dignified.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Yao was also embarrassed in his heart, thinking that even if it was such a behemoth, it could not withstand the passage of time, and the years would make him old. While he was sighing, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, so he stood still and thought about it carefully. Half an hour later, he suddenly slapped his thigh, looked at the ruins, and seemed to say to himself, "There is a problem." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he looked left and right, and walked straight towards a waste rock. The stone, which may have been the wall of a nearby stone house, was now scattered on the ground along with some other rubble. Xiao Yao walked to the edge of the stone, squatted down and stretched out his hand to touch it, and a thick layer of moss mud suddenly stained his fingertips. After rubbing this layer of moss, Xiao Yao stood up thoughtfully, and looked at other places, his face was already full of puzzled looks.

It turned out that after Xiao Yao saw that the Vulture Palace had become a ruined ruin, he suddenly thought that back then, although the thirty-six cave masters and seventy-two island owners who plotted to cooperate in rebellion against Tianshan Tong Ma attacked the Ethereal Peak and did fight with the daughters of Jun Tianbu, but later Xuzhu relied on the skills passed down by Tong Ma to defeat the heroes, and later found the secret room, learned the Tianshan Six Yang Palm and the Tianshan Folding Plum Hand, and pulled out the life and death talisman for these people. He treats each other with sincerity, respects each other, although the heroes are arrogant and untamed characters, but they are also grateful to Huaide, happy and convinced, at that time, there was Duan Yu gags on the side, and the words made the thirty-six cave masters, the seventy-two island owners no longer have the heart of rebellion, when they go down the mountain, they are all grateful and gone, how can this group of people make the Vulture Palace become like this?

It was with this thought that Xiao Yao suddenly remembered the Manichaeism that Du Daxun had inadvertently mentioned before, saying that these people had also come to inquire about the Vulture Palace decades ago, but only because there was "no trace", they left later. He didn't think that Du Daxun deliberately concealed it for Manichaeism and lied to himself, but remembered that maybe the Manichaeans used a trick to hide from the world, maybe they found the Vulture Palace and got what they wanted, but in order to deceive people's eyes and ears, so they lied to the outside world that they didn't find anything, pretended to be angry, and sprinkled all their anger on the local herdsmen. Just now he picked off a layer of moss with his hand, just to test this idea. After all, if it was difficult for Xuzhu to convince the public back then, although he temporarily suppressed the rebellion of the group of heroes, but later he was treacherously attacked the Ethereal Peak again by those cave lords who had been oppressed by Grandma Tong and were accustomed to capriciousness, then it would not be strange that the Vulture Palace became what it is today, but if the Manichaeans found this place and destroyed it, the time between the two was close to a hundred years, which was not a short period of time, and some traces left on the ruins by the time can be clearly seen.

Xiao Yao saw that although the layer of moss was thick and deeply rooted, it seemed to be like a trace left a hundred years ago, but he thought about it, the clouds and mist on this ethereal peak were covered with mist, and the humidity was extremely high, and the moss was a thing that liked moisture, if it was the Vulture Palace destroyed by Manichaeism, the environment here was so humid, and most of the past few decades would be the same. Thinking of this, I can't help but be a little undecided.
