Caiyun smiled at this time: "Xiao Na, I didn't expect you to be very interested in historiography." However, this place has been destroyed to the point that it is not in shape, and I am afraid that the documents of that time have long been burned clean by the flames. ”

"Not necessarily, important documents are usually kept in hidden places and heavily protected, perhaps not affected by the war. Now all we have to do is find out the whereabouts of those documents. Marlena gave her opinion.

Caiyun was about to nod her head in agreement at this time, but suddenly remembered something, and wondered: "Cortana, wait a minute, have we deviated from the content of the task arranged by Miss." Mademoiselle just asked us to investigate the location of the dragon mound, and we didn't seem to need to bother with the history of this city. ”

"You have a point, Senior Sister really only needs to know the location of the Dragon Tomb. But at the beginning, we thought that there was only one ruin of the dragon mound under the abyss, but we didn't expect that there would be a huge underground space. Now that you've come here, you'll have to investigate everything in this space and leave no regrets. There are still more than ten days before the opening of the dragon mound, which is enough for us to explore this place, and in order to be prepared when we come again in the future, we should not be lazy. ”

After listening to Marina's explanation, Caiyun had thoroughly understood her thoughts, and couldn't help but secretly admire the thoroughness of her thoughts.

"I thought you were so interested in the history of this city that you forgot about our original mission. I didn't expect you to think so thoughtfully, and sure enough, my thoughts are still too superficial to make you suspicious. Caiyun said in a tone of "self-blame".

"You are very responsive and the timing of your reminders is very precise and not superficial at all. If I do forget the task, I will be pulled back on track by your few words in an instant. You've done a good job, so why do you look like you're sorry?" said Marina sincerely.

"As long as you don't feel disgusted. ”

"How can I be disgusted? You and I are like sisters, so why do you dislike the word, I think you always treat me as an outsider, so I will feel very unhappy. You can say whatever you want, there is no ** between you and me, and there are no taboos, understand?" said Marina categorically.

A smile rose at the corner of Caiyun's mouth, his heart was full of emotion, and he said softly: "We married Jinlan hundreds of years ago, and the friendship between each other is better than that of sisters. I'm sorry, but I didn't get my mindset right. ”

Marlena shook her head and said with a smile: "Don't do this in the future, you can treat me as your own doppelganger, so that you can speak freely." ”

"Don't worry, I won't respect you anymore in the future, and it's hard to say whether you're willing to be sisters with me at that time. Caiyun said exaggeratedly.

"Whatever 'respect' is required between sisters, as long as it doesn't always distract me from my tasks. ”

"Of course not. Otherwise, if you sue me in front of the young lady, I won't be able to eat and walk away. ”

Marlena was amused by Caiyun's "frightened" expression when she mentioned the word "Miss", covered her mouth and laughed twice, and then said, "It's good to know." ”

Marlena will pick it up

The plan was told to Caiyun.

"There are some houses in this area, and it is impossible for those documents to be hidden in this vicinity. Caiyun, do you see those palace-like buildings in the distance? Let's go there and see if we can find a place like the Scripture Pavilion. As long as we succeed in finding the Scripture Pavilion, we will have a great chance to learn about the history of this land. ”

"Now Cortana is my leader, and I will listen to whatever you say, and I will never resist your orders. ”

"Well, I really don't know if you're stupid or lazy, are you stupid and lazy?"

After saying this, a strange feeling surged in Marina's heart, and she secretly thought to herself: "I feel that I have been assimilated by Caiyun, why is it her style to even speak now?"

Caiyun didn't say anything to refute, but stuck out her tongue at her, revealing an "arrogant" expression of "I'm just stupid and lazy, what can you do with me". Seeing this, Marlena could only shake her head, indicating that she was helpless.

The two of them walked together in the direction of the "palaces" in the distance, and with the strength of their feet, they reached their destination in a few moments.

When they came closer, the two of them were deeply shocked by the scene in front of them at the same time.

I saw a number of magnificent "palace" buildings appear in front of me. Although most of them have been destroyed by the fire, the hard materials and solid structure make these buildings not collapse as easily as private houses, and they still stand in place.

These buildings occupy a territory of nearly ten miles, and there are no less than 100 palaces of all sizes, and the scene is extremely spectacular. From some corners that have not been touched by the fierce fire, the appearance of the once golden and brilliant here can be restored, and at the edge of several palaces, several ancient jades have been found that have long been lost in the world.

Marina showed a surprised look at this time, and said to Caiyun, "Caiyun, have you seen the jade used to decorate the palaces located in the center?"

"I see, is there anything unusual about these jades?"

"I've only seen this pale blue jade on Hefina's body, and the one she wears has a golden 'spirit' engraved on it. She never told me about the provenance of the jade, and I was not interested in other people's private affairs, so I never asked her about it.

But then I saw a description of this jade in a 'book of treasures', and although it was only a few sentences, it left a deep impression on my mind. This jade, called 'Shiling Jade', only exists in Beiju Luzhou, and the time of circulation in the world is unknown, but it is at least thousands of years ago, and it is now extinct.

The 'Spirit Jade' is said to be able to sublimate the spiritual power released by the wearer, greatly increasing its power, so it should be an extremely precious and priceless treasure at all times. ”

Caiyun then answered: "You mean that this 'Shi Ling Jade' is very likely to be the only piece left on Fei Fei's body in the world, but it is used as a tool to decorate the palace here. In fact, I think this place looks very similar to the royal palace in the world, maybe this ancient city is the imperial city of an ancient country, this history is far more complicated than we imagined, it may involve several countries, or even a full-scale war between several races. Cortana, what do you think?"

Marina gave Caiyun an appreciative look, and said, "You and I are basically the same judgment, and this 'Spirit Jade'

The appearance of this ancient city also shows that the history of this ancient city may be even further back than we originally thought, perhaps going back thousands of years. This part of the past seems very interesting, and we must find some records left by the original literati to solve the mystery that envelops this ancient city. ”

"My interest has been piqued by what Cortana said, so without further ado, let's set off now to find the location of the 'Scripture Pavilion' in this 'Imperial Palace'. ”

Marina and Caiyun stepped into the confines of the "Imperial Palace" and began to look for the location of the "Scripture Pavilion".

Both of them knew the appearance of the Scripture Pavilion, and knew that its structure must be very different from ordinary palaces, so it would not be difficult to spot.

Sure enough, the two of them only tossed and turned for a moment before finding a different building, most of the palaces in the "Imperial Palace" were square, only this one looked like a pagoda, towering high.

Although the pagoda is only eight zhang wide, it is nearly 20 zhang high and has 18 floors.

The whole pagoda is made of fine pine wood, and the color is slightly dull, but it can highlight an antique atmosphere. From the inside of the pagoda faintly emanated a smell of incense candles, I don't know what kind of structure the incense candles are, after thousands of years of baptism can still leave a little trace.

There are no ornaments to be found in this pagoda from top to bottom, not even any carved patterns, it is extremely simple, ordinary as if it were a folk building, but the moment Marina saw this design, she felt awe-inspired, and her heart deeply admired the craftsmen who built this pagoda in the first place.

"The tower was clearly built for the aristocracy, but it was not decorated at all, and I don't know how much opposition to this design was met with at first. But I have the same opinion as this craftsman, no decoration is the best decoration, to be extravagant and frugal, back to the basics. This persistence, this thought, is really remarkable. ”

Seeing Marina's longing expression, Caiyun reached out and patted her on the shoulder and asked, "Cortana, what are you thinking? ”

"It's nothing, I just think this wooden tower is very beautiful and has a unique style. ”

"Well, I don't see anything special about this tower, but I have a question. ”

Marina bowed her head and said, "I know what you're thinking, but I have the same confusion. The palaces were much stronger, but almost all of them were spared, and they were so burned that they could barely be distinguished. But this wooden pagoda was not affected by the fire, which is really incredible.

We have only carefully investigated, and found that this tower is indeed made of pine wood, almost without a trace of impurities, this material can be destroyed in an instant if it encounters a fierce fire, but there is not even a trace of the flame left in this vicinity. ”

"That's right, when you say that, I realize that there are no charred black marks on the ground in this area. The clouds looked across the ground around them, and they were clean, without any dark stains left by the burning fire.

"This is obviously unreasonable, and it can be said to be very strange. I suspect that there is a spell such as an enchantment within this wooden tower, which can protect the radius of this few zhang from the effects of natural disasters**. ”
