Chapter 52: White Bones

To the north of Qin and south of Yan, there is a winding Dongyue mountain range. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Along the mountain range to the west, across the mighty Spring Tide Lake, across the vast spring grassland, you can see the snow that does not melt all year round.

This is the Tien Shan.

Snow-capped, the mountains are steep, and at the top of the mountain, where the peaks have already fallen into the clouds, there is a magnificent palace of ice and snow, which is the most mysterious vulture palace in the world, where there are clouds and mist all year round, hovering vultures that have become bloodthirsty demons.

"My home is in the Vulture Palace, if you have any difficulties, you can ask my father for help. ā€

Nangong Wan'er stroked the messy hair around her ears, and when she looked at Xu Qingyun, her eyes were full of gratitude, and her voice was very sincere: "Although my family is not visible in the countries, if there is really something big, the price of saving me only for you once should be able to help." ā€

Xu Qingyun was a little flattered, he thought that there might be few people in the world who could know the strength of the Tianshan Vulture Palace, but if it was a person with some real strength, it was impossible to ignore the existence of the behemoth of the Vulture Palace.

He thought for a moment and asked, "Are you from the Tianshan Nangong family?"

Nangong Wan'er raised her head a little stunned and asked, "Do you know the Tianshan Vulture Palace?"

She really can't believe that there are really very few people in the world who can know the history of their family. It's not because of a mediocre family background, but because he's too prominent that he can say this about the Vulture Palace, and he just thinks that Xu Qingyun doesn't know about his own existence, but he can clearly know the affairs of the Nangong family, how not to surprise himself.

Xu Qingyun explained: "I have read a lot of ancient books, the "Zongmen Lu" of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, which has a record of the Tianshan Eagle Palace. ā€

"You like to sleep in class, but you read a lot of books. ā€

Nangong Wan'er nodded convincingly, and there was only such a reason to make her believe, but she was a little reluctant to say too much, and said: "My family's affairs are a little too troublesome, not simple to explain clearly, let's go out and have a look." ā€

Xu Qingyun naturally understood what he meant, he slowly opened a gap between the ink-colored bamboo leaves in front of him, and the bright light was a little dazzling, but he could clearly see the surroundings.

The sun is setting in the west, there is an evening breeze blowing, the ink bamboo is vigorous, shaking the straight branches, scattered and messy bamboo leaves.

It was empty, gloomy and lonely, and there was no longer the shadow of the three people just now.

"It should have been gone. ā€

The two of them shook off the bamboo leaves covering their bodies, and the cool evening breeze blew between their eyebrows, and they both felt a sense of relief. Xu Qingyun tidied up his clothes, but as soon as he raised his head, he looked at Nangong Wan'er in front of him, and suddenly couldn't help laughing.

"Xu Qingyun, what are you laughing at?" Nangong Wan'er was a little dazed, she thought about something wrong, and quickly touched her cheeks, only to see her white fingers, which were covered with dust. Her little cheeks were a little red, and she seemed to be rarely so embarrassed.

Xu Qingyun looked at Nangong Wan'er's little flower face, forced a smile, and comforted her: "You clean up slowly by yourself, I'll go to the front to take a look first." ā€

Nangong Wan'er lowered her eyes and was silent, just nodded silently, her red cheeks made her look particularly cute.

Xu Qingyun walked through the bamboo forest alone, and he looked at the place where the man in ink had just stayed, there was nothing special here except for the messy bamboo leaves on the ground.

He frowned slightly, thinking about the murderous aura of the three men in ink, and said in a deep voice: "No, it shouldn't be here." ā€

"Of course not here. ā€

Nangong Wan'er walked out with the corner of her clothes, she had already wiped the dust off her face, her white and tender little face looked a little ruddy, but her eyes were unprecedentedly calm. She looked at Xu Qingyun and said seriously: "I can smell the blood in the air, it's not very far from here." ā€

Xu Qingyun pondered for a moment and said, "Take me to see." ā€

Although she knew that the man in ink had left, Nangong Wan'er still had some lingering palpitations about the pungent blood in the air.

But she hesitated for a long time, but nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take you there!"

The twilight is deep, the ground is full of golden bamboo shadows, the two silently walk among the vigorous ink bamboo, the cool breeze blows slightly, only the warmth of looking at each other without words.

Nangong Wan'er's thin eyebrows, with a cute look slightly frowned, looked extraordinarily serious. Xu Qingyun was also looking at her, only feeling that there was a place for her, even if the vast bamboo forest in front of him couldn't block his eyes.

Until the blood was filled, the ink-colored bamboo forest seemed to have a blood-red color, and even Xu Qingyun could feel the smell of blood in the air.

His face changed slightly, and he suddenly stepped forward and blocked Nangong Wan'er's eyes with his hands.

This is the depths of the bamboo forest, which is rare in human relations, the vigorous and upright ink bamboo, there seems to be a feeling of deepening here, the bamboo shadow swings, empty and lonely, there is a kind of indescribable weirdness. There are also protruding mountain ridge stones, which exude a blood-colored sheen in the twilight.

Nangong Wan'er pursed the corners of her lips, her little face was a little pale, although her eyes were dark and she couldn't see her surroundings, but the blood in the air made her point to the stones in the distance without hesitation, and her voice trembled a little and said, "It seems that it's here." ā€

Xu Qingyun was slightly awe-inspiring, he tore off the corners of his clothes and slowly tied them in front of Nangong Wan'er's eyes, but he didn't want the little girl to see the filth of this world. He took a deep breath, endured the fear in his heart, and slowly walked forward.

There are a lot of scattered bamboo leaves on the ground, and there are obvious footprints on them, some messy, and even some faint blood stains.

He hesitated for a moment, then slowly crouched down, looking at the blood-colored stones dyed in the twilight, his heart a little heavy.

But he still reached out and slowly moved the stones away.

One, two, three, four, five......

Nangong Wan'er couldn't see the surroundings, but she could feel the blood around her, and when Xu Qingyun moved the stones, it became more and more unpleasant and pungent.

Her little face was a little pale and terrible, but she held back the fear in her heart, and just wanted to wait for the result silently.

Until Xu Qingyun stopped moving, there was only his heavy wheezing voice in the air.

Nangong Wan'er pursed her thin lips and asked, "Xu Qingyun, what did you find?"

Xu Qingyun was silent, just quietly looking at the scene in front of him, somewhat expected, but incredulous.

"Xu Qingyun, why don't you speak?" Nangong Wan'er asked a little nervously.

Xu Qingyun thought for a moment, hesitated for a moment, and said, "There are dead people here!"

Nangong Wan'er was a little stunned, her cheeks were pale, and her whole person was a little trembling, just the smell of blood in the air, and even a burning painful feeling, so that she couldn't help but take off the corner of her clothes that was blocking her eyes, and looked at the scene in front of her.

I only feel twilight, blood, white bones,

It was painful for her to speak.
