Chapter 31 Alone is indispensable, and the vicissitudes of the sea become a mulberry field
Fifty years have passed, and the pattern of the Tang Palace has not changed at all.
Blue bricks and white tiles, jasper glass.
The Zhengwu Hall is also the same as the first time, but unfortunately, the emperor who stayed in the Zhengwu Hall is no longer the Tang Emperor who dared to send warriors to besiege and kill him.
Ye Luo looked at it again and again, and finally sighed and walked in the direction of the treasure house of the underground palace.
I didn't expect that when I came to the palace again, it was already a thing.
Time is really the most ruthless butcher's knife to kill mortals, from the Son of Heaven to the mortals, no one can be spared, whether they are noble or ordinary.
Fifty years of change is still like this, I wonder if five hundred years later, can such a majestic palace still stand here?
......
The treasure house of the underground palace is different from the palace's halls, with yellow leaves flying on the ground and thick dust. Ye Luo's sense swept away, but he found that there was only one empty seat left under the bed beam of the hut where Elder Xu once lived.
There was also a thick layer of dust on the mat, like a wisp of veil, which gently covered the mat. Ye Luo frowned, at least ten years, this house has not been inhabited anymore.
Ye Luo didn't know where the Hehuan Sect was, so he came to the palace to find Elder Xu. Elder Xu is the caretaker of the Tang Treasure House, and this position is not comparable to that of the National Teacher, and it is for life.
There will never be a second person unless he dies.
But now, Elder Xu, who was supposed to guard the treasure house here, has disappeared.
Ye Luo sighed, and used his divine sense to explore all parts of the palace again, but still found nothing.
"Presumably, in the past 50 years, important events have happened that I didn't know. Ye Luo shook his head and left the palace.
Since Elder Xu was no longer there, he could only try his luck at Yifeng Garden in the east of the city.
As for the National Teacher's Mansion, there is no need to check it out again, the keeper of the treasure house is closely related to the second position of the national teacher, and if Elder Xu is not there, the national teacher will definitely not be there.
After all, the Hehuan Sect would never only send a small cultivator of the Qi Cultivation Realm to the Datang Capital City alone to refine his heart.
......
Yifengyuan hadn't opened the door at this time, Ye Luo skillfully climbed up to the window on the second floor, and then entered through the window;
I haven't seen him for fifty years, and Xiang Yunxi's room hasn't changed much, except for the bed curtain being replaced with purple, everything else is still the same.
The familiar fragrance could still be faintly smelled beside the bed, Ye Luo was stunned, and couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
I'm afraid that I've been waiting here for a long time.
When I walked out of the door, I happened to meet the old bustard of Yifeng Garden. At this hour, the bustard had woken up early, and she had a lot of work, but she couldn't sleep until three o'clock in the afternoon like a girl who had not yet left the boudoir.
Bustard is also an unfamiliar face, and after a sweep of her senses, she found that there was no one she knew in the entire Yifeng Garden.
It's a great irony to have familiar clothes but unfamiliar people.
Ye Luo laughed at himself and stopped the old bustard who had come down from the third floor to the second floor.
The old bustard turned around and saw a strange man in front of him, and his heart was shocked. After hesitating for a few moments, he said softly with a frowning brow: "How did Childe get in?
Ye Luo didn't answer her doubts, looked at the old bustard expressionlessly, and said, "Do you know where the 'Hehuan Sect' is located?"
The old bustard's eyes showed vigilance, and then disappeared, a slight smile appeared on her face, a finger tapped on Ye Luo's chest, and said charmingly:
"Childe came to the bustard early in the morning to ask questions that the bustard didn't know~
Although I have never heard of the 'Hehuan Sect', I still know a lot about this 'Hehuan'; it is better to accompany the bustard into the room to talk about it, and I can also teach the godfather what it is like to be 'Hehuan'. ”
How could Ye Luo not see the abnormality of this old bustard after hearing the word "Hehuan Sect", and he was relieved, this old bustard really knew about "Hehuan Sect". In this way, he didn't need to go to other immortal cultivators to ask.
Now this old bustard obviously doesn't believe in herself, although she can "search for souls" on her, but after the "soul search", she will probably die because of this.
This person has no grudge against himself, and it is too cruel to do so. Ye Luo thought about it, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly took out a jade pendant from his waist.
"It's you!"
The old bustard took the jade pendant, looked at it again and again, and was shocked.
When the previous old bustard returned to the sect, he told her that Master Yunmeng, who lived on the second floor, had taken in an apprentice in Yifeng Garden, but then disappeared for some reason. Although she had never seen the real thing, she had already seen it countless times from the portrait, so she recognized it directly at a glance.
She hurriedly saluted Ye Luo, and the flattering smile on her face disappeared, replaced by a respectful face. She used to be a "miscellaneous disciple" of the Hehuan Sect, so she naturally knew what the identity of the disciple of Yunmeng Master Ancestor represented.
It can be said politely that with this level of identity, even the high-ranking Zhuji elders dare not show him a face at will.
Through her explanation, Ye Luo also roughly understood who the old bustard of Yifeng Yuan could be.
The Hehuan sect is highly competitive. Those disciples with extremely poor qualifications and no prominent background can only start as "miscellaneous disciples" after entry; during this period, if they successfully cultivate the aura and reach the first level of qi training, they can be promoted to "outer disciples".
And if there is no trace of spiritual power cultivated within ten years, they will be expelled from the mountain gate, and only a very small number of people who are smooth will be sent to the "Yifeng Garden" in the mortal realm to be bustards, and when they are over forty years old, they can return to the sect to be a "miscellaneous elder" and continue to cultivate.
Therefore, the position of bustard is also very sought-after among the miscellaneous disciples of the Hehuan Sect.
......
"Uncle Shi, Master Yunmeng left three years ago, and Huan Sect is ready to get married. Bustard said respectfully.
In the Hehuan Sect, cultivation is the basis for seniority, so although this bustard is separated from himself by several generations, he only needs to call himself "uncle".
"I know," Ye Luo said, "I'm here for you. ”
"Coming for me?" the bustard was startled, with a little surprise and trepidation on her face.
"Well," Ye Luo nodded, "I haven't been back to the sect, so I don't know where the sect is." I was going to look for Senior Brother Xu, but I never thought that Senior Brother Xu and the national teacher who were supposed to guard the treasure house were all gone. ”
The old bustard was a little disappointed, but in a flash, she thought about it and said to Ye Luo: "I don't know about the National Teacher's Mansion, when I started, the sect canceled the task of the National Teacher for a long time. However, I know the location of the Hehuan Sect very well. ”
"Uncle Shi knows the Eighteen Broken Peaks?"
Ye Luo nodded: "I know, the master once told me that my Hehuan Sect was built on the 'Eighteen Broken Peaks', but I have memorized the map of the Tang Dynasty since I was a child, and I know that there is no place name 'Eighteen Broken Peaks' in the territory of the Tang Kingdom......
"At that time, naturally, 'Eighteen Broken Peaks' was just the name of the people within our Hehuan Sect, how could it appear on the map drawn by mortals. ”
The old bustard spit out his small tongue and said to Ye Luo, "The real name of the 'Eighteen Broken Peaks' is 'Fengxu Mountain Range', which is located in the north of the border of the Tang Dynasty. If Uncle Shi is not in a hurry, I can write a letter for Uncle Shi, if Master Yunmeng knows your news, he will definitely come to the capital to pick you up in person. ”
"No, I'll just go myself. Ye Luo directly refused.
The time for the master to marry the baby is in mid-August, and if he delays it because of his own affairs, it will be his own sin.
casually thanked the old bustard, and Ye Luo performed the "Divine Walk" technique and left the Tang capital.
