Chapter Ninety-Eight: Entering the Palace

Seeing the eagerness in Xie Xiaolan's bright eyes, he groaned slightly, then smiled and nodded.

Xie Xiaolan was extremely happy in her heart, smiled softly, and was charming.

She turned around and turned her back to him, her jade hand poked into her neck and chest from between the collar of her right side, the snow-white and smooth slender jade neck, the full jade breast, and her delicate porcelain face made Xiao Yuesheng swallow a mouthful of liquid, this woman was really shockingly beautiful.

A palm-sized silver lock with the thickness of a palm appeared with her jade hand, and Xiao Yuesheng seemed to be able to smell the slight fragrance on the lock.

The faint lock is printed with the dragon and phoenix pattern, simple and simple, this is a young child's talisman longevity lock, most of them are worn at the age of four, and they are removed when they are four or five years old, and then left for the next generation of children, passed down from generation to generation, and are considered ordinary heirlooms.

Xie Xiaolan blushed with shame, one hand was busy tidying up Yuebai's clothes, her eyes were lowered, and she didn't dare to look at Xiao Yuesheng.

She suddenly crouched down and picked up two stalks of grass from her feet.

Xiao ...... Brother Xiao, help me hold it. Xie Xiaolan hesitated, bit her thin cherry lips, took a breath, and handed the silver lock that was still tied around her neck with a red rope in front of Xiao Yuesheng.

Letting a man touch his personal things is tantamount to touching his own body, which is really embarrassing, but the man in front of him makes himself feel sweet, and takes out his most secret personal things, as if his whole heart is completely open, and he can't help but feel a kind of moving to completely dedicate himself to him, moving himself, and the taste of shame and sweetness is really indescribable.

"Oh, good. Xiao Yuesheng stretched out his hand to take it, and there was something strange in his heart, and when he saw the silver lock, he remembered that the two of them had not exchanged the things they had agreed to, and felt quite regretful.

The silver lock in his hand still has a little warmth, and the feel is delicate, he doesn't have to think about it, he knows that this silver lock has been worn for a long time, and it may have been worn by people, and the red rope tied to the lock is still hanging on Xie Xiaolan's snow-white and smooth neck like ivory.

Seeing Xie Xiaolan pinching a thin withered yellow grass stalk in each hand, gesturing at the silver lock in his hand, he flipped over the silver lock in his hand and faced her with the side with two small holes.

The breeze blew softly, paying attention to the silent two, making their clothes flutter.

Xie Xiaolan pursed her lips shyly, and glanced at the other party imperceptibly, her heart was sweet, and she felt like she was eating a peach.

A dragon and a phoenix on the lock surface, each according to half of the side, looking at each other in the air, although the thin strip is simple, but it is quite god-like, the floating clouds are swirling, showing its fineness, the dragon flies and the phoenix dance, all see the spirit, it must be from the hands of the famous artist, not mortal.

Xie Xiaolan's two grass stalks lightly touched the eyes of the dragon and phoenix, and with a slight force, they both broke off, and it was really a dry stalk and messy grass, which was useless, she looked helplessly and hatefully at the only little broken stalk in her hand, and let go of it and let it fall into the green under her feet.

"Press both eyes at the same time, right?" Xiao Yuesheng asked with a smile.

"Hmm. Xie Xiaolan nodded, frowned and thought for a moment, then raised her hand and stretched out her sideburns, wanting to take off the hosta and phoenix hairpin on the top of her head.

"No hassle. Xiao Yuesheng hurriedly stopped, and after that, he blew lightly, only to hear the sound of "pop", which was issued by the silver lock in his hand, and he handed it back to her.

Xie Xiaolan subconsciously took the silver lock, and couldn't help but smile to herself, how could she forget the omnipotence of the man next to her!

The silver lock was divided into two pieces in her hand, and a thin sheepskin floated down gently, and when it was about to land, it suddenly changed its direction again, quickly rose up, and was taken into Xiao Yuesheng's hand.

Xie Xiaolan calmly closed the silver lock, restored it to its original state, took the sheepskin handed over by Xiao Yuesheng, and unfolded it, Qianqian's jade fingers trembled slightly, revealing the excitement in her heart.

The yellow sheepskin has no gas, but has a few traces of sandalwood, and a few lines are drawn on it with a red pen, which is the shape of several mountain peaks, and the words Qiankun Kang Gong Zhen and the like are written next to it.

"You haven't been to the Vulture Palace?" Xiao Yuesheng saw her strong and excited appearance, and guessed that she had never been to the Vulture Palace.

Xie Xiaolan shook her head slightly, her bright eyes were withdrawn from the sheepskin, and she handed the sheepskin to Xiao Yuesheng: "Master said that the enemy around the Vulture Palace is secretly clothed, and if you are not sure, you can't go to the Vulture Palace." ”

"Well, wait for the rabbit. Xiao Yuesheng nodded in understanding and took the sheepskin unceremoniously.

"The craftsmanship of this sheepskin is good!" Xiao Yuesheng touched the delicate and soft sheepskin, and praised it with a smile, this kind of delicate handwork is enough to make a disguise mask.

Seeing that Xiao Yuesheng was not in a hurry to read the content on the sheepskin, but said something irrelevant, Xie Xiaolan couldn't help but glance at him.

The beauty glanced at it, it was enough to **, Xiao Yuesheng smiled, glanced at the sheepskin, raised it again, watched it in the sun, turned it over and looked at it, and then handed it back to her, and said in a deep voice: "It's not around here, your master should have told you the approximate location of the Ethereal Peak, right?"

"Well, the Ethereal Peak is in the south of the Tianshan Mountains. ”

"That's good, let's look for it, hehe, if this is a treasure map, how nice it would be!"

"Think beautifully...... However, according to Master, there are countless treasures in the palace, but they have not had time to take them away, so I don't know what kind of treasures they are!"

"Oh-?!" Xiao Yuesheng pronounced in a slippery way, showing his surprise and eagerness, but his still calm expression was inevitably a little discordant.

Mission Hills Villa has countless money and wealth from all over the world, Xiao Yuesheng has seen countless treasures made by himself, and with his ability, it is not effortless to find what is hidden underground.

It's just that the most in the ground is not treasures, but some skeletons and white bones, which are too bad for the scenery, so he easily does not look at the underground with his supernatural powers, so as not to cause displeasure in vain.

It was a pleasure for him to have treasures to be found, not because he was greedy for money, but like archaeologists, he regarded them as works of art, and he liked to be curious about strange things, which were often regarded as strange treasures, and could only be found in treasures.

"I'm a little impatient for my husband, but I want to see what treasures you have in the Vulture Palace!"

Xiao Yuesheng said with a smile, and his big hand reached into her thin and soft waist, and disappeared in place in an instant.

On the snow-capped peak, the figures of the two flashed, the cold air entered the body, and the hosta on the head sent a warm current into the body, Xie Xiaolan only then knew the wonder of the Zhenshen hairpin.

Xiao Yuesheng stood on the top of the snow peak, his clothes dancing violently, as if he wanted to ride the wind, but his hair did not flutter a little, and his sideburns were not as fluttering as Xie Xiaolan.

He wandered his eyes, looked down at the peaks, his heart was refreshed, and he praised twice, if there was no attraction of the Vulture Palace, he would definitely enjoy the scenery of this snowy peak.

Xie Xiaolan also felt that the scenery here was excellent, which made people feel comfortable, just entered the best situation, the body was tight, the eyes were dark, and when it was bright again, the scenery in front of them changed, and it was no longer the original place.

At the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, there is a remote place, the forest is vast, there are nearly 100 hectares, the trees are lush, and finally the fog is shrouded, enter it, then you are dizzy, you must get lost, it is difficult to see its people again, few people can retreat with the whole body, and after a long time, it becomes a forbidden place.

In this endless cloud and mist, several mountain peaks are faintly visible, but there is nothing else around except this forest, Xiao Yuesheng stood at the foot of the mountain, looking up at the towering peaks, and couldn't help but admire that this was a strange place.

"Awesome! Tianshan Tong's grandmother is really amazing!"

Xiao Yuesheng turned around and looked back at the lush greenery shrouded in mist, and couldn't help but sigh with his palm, he could feel that the surrounding forest had artificial traces, I am afraid that it was done by Tianshan Tong, it seems that Tianshan Tong's chest has hills and ravines, and she is also proficient in the art of Qimen Dunjia.

Xie Xiaolan beside him felt a little inexplicable, although she praised her ancestor, she was happy in her heart, but she didn't know why.

From prosperity to decline, one generation is not as good as the next, and this matter is inevitable in ancient times.

Tianshan Tong's grandmother is not only a body of martial arts earth-shattering, but the medical appearance Xingbu is also far beyond ordinary people, but the second generation of palace master Xuzhuzi Although the martial arts are profound, but the qualifications are blunt, in addition to martial arts, the rest of the miscellaneous learning, nine tricks are only eight tricks.

As for the subsequent disciples, it is even more unbearable, the Eight Desolations [***] but my sole respect for the merit is really a peerless learning, thirty years of reincarnation, like a phoenix Nirvana reborn and reborn, but it is a pity that no one in the descendants has practiced it, and it is not good.

Xie Xiaolan doesn't know the art of Qimen Dunjia, which is also reasonable, naturally she can't understand how extraordinary the surrounding forests are, as a husband, Xiao Yuesheng is obligated to say it simply.

"Hehe, with such a barrier, it can still let people enter the nest!" Xiao Yuesheng immediately sighed, shook his head and sighed, sighing for the incompetence of the disciples of the Vulture Palace.

"According to the master, it was the inside and the outside that were combined, and the disciples in the palace rebelled. Xie Xiaolan also blushed a little, and she lacked confidence to speak.

After listening to Xiao Yuesheng's explanation, she knew that the surrounding forest was like Guanlan Villa, with protective power, but it was still attacked by the enemy, and she could only sigh that there was nothing absolute in the world.

"Women are outgoing, the ancients are honest and don't deceive me!" Xiao Yuesheng sighed again, but he secretly sighed in his heart, the beautiful man is no worse than the beauty man!

In the mist, everywhere you go, there are withered yellow grass and rotten branches, very bleak, strange rocks everywhere, there is no way up the mountain at all, at a glance you know that this mountain has been untouched for a long time.

Looking upward, the more up, the steeper the mountain, quite difficult, Xiao Yuesheng's eyes were like electricity, through the thicker and thicker fog, he found that although this mountain peak was high, halfway up the mountain, it was covered with snow, but it was not unattainable, his mind immediately unfolded, and found that there was a mountain outside the mountain, the north of this peak, and another peak was more strange and steep, shaped like a knife, it can be regarded as a real peak, and three long ropes connect the two peaks.

Compared with the parchment diagram I had just seen, I knew that the peak was the real Ethereal Peak, where the Vulture Palace was located.

The figures of the two men then disappeared in place, appearing on the snowy and frozen peak.

"Alas, it seems that you really can't underestimate the people of the world!" Xiao Yuesheng hugged the soft and fragrant Xie Xiaolan, looking at the iron cable between the two peaks, and couldn't help but admire.

Standing on the top of the mountain, the clouds and mist are all stepping on the feet, the cold wind here is cold, the fog does not exist, the sky is clear, and you can look at another peak.

This peak is straight and steep like bamboo shoots, it is by no means climbable by manpower, and the height is far beyond this mountain, the distance between the two peaks is about 500 meters, even if the catapult used for the siege of the city comes, I am afraid that there is nothing that can be done, it is really hard to imagine how the iron cable was pulled up in the first place.

"It's scary!" Xie Xiaolan clinged to her man's body, looked down, and then hurriedly retracted, her sideburns had been blown up, and her jade face had faded and was as pale as snow.

Between the two peaks, the mist shrouded and rolled, bottomless, like a giant beast standing in it.

"Huh...... , I didn't expect Madame to be so timid!" Xiao Yuesheng stood in the cold wind, couldn't help but make fun of her, and naturally ushered in a coquettish white eye.

"Let's go!" the figures of the two of them flashed away again, appearing on another mountain, at the other end of the iron cable.

Here is a platform with a radius of dozens of meters, which looks extremely abrupt and incompatible on the straight mountain, as if someone has put this prominent platform on the mountainside.

Xiao Yuesheng stood on the platform amazed, this place is flat and wide like a small school field, he looked up at the sky, the sun shone down along the straight mountain, as if it was a little brighter than under the mountain, but he couldn't break through the clouds and mist under his feet, no wonder he was amazed.

"Looks like no one has been here before. Xiao Yuesheng kicked the white bone with the rusty sword under his feet, and said casually.

"Hmm. Xie Xiaolan replied lightly, her jade face was heavy, looking at the dozen or so scattered skeletons and swords scattered everywhere beside her feet, and the tragic scene of dozens of people fighting seemed to flash in front of her.

The skeleton has been extended to the huge stone wall, the moss is oily, it is still difficult to hide the fact that this is a huge wall, the width is three people long, the height is about five people, it is on the rectangular giant wall, the marks of the sword slash are like eyes, and there are two skeletons lying on the wall, forming a standing posture, revealing a little unwillingness.

Xiao Yuesheng shook his head, and with a wave of his big sleeves, it was like a long wind sweeping by, but the skeleton was divided into two, except for three or two, all of them were swept off the platform and fell into the abyss of rolling mist.

"You ......" Xie Xiaolan was immersed in his imagination of the tragic battle, but suddenly saw that the skeletons in front of him were swept away and thrown under the cliff, naturally he was shocked and angry, these skeletons must have the disciples of the Vulture Palace, and they should be buried in a good tomb.

"Alas, they were born as disciples of the Vulture Palace, desperately protecting the palace, respectable and lamentable!" Xiao Yuesheng pointed to the three skeletons rolled up under his feet, his expression solemn.

The disciples of the Vulture Palace are all women, and there are no men, and the skeletons of men and women can be identified at a glance, in this pile of skeletons, only these three women, and the remaining dozen or so people, all of whom are middle-aged men, were thrown into the abyss under the platform by Xiao Yuesheng.

Xie Xiaolan was a little shy, her surname was too anxious just now, and two fiery clouds rose on her snow-white face like jade at this time, and she nodded lightly: "I will bury them well in the future,...... But it's strange that there's no wind here. ”

Xiao Yuesheng smiled secretly, at this time, it was a north wind, which was coming from the back of this peak, and it was naturally blocked behind the mountain.

He looked up at the huge stone door, between the big sleeves, the moss on the stone was wiped off, only to find that on the bluestone door, in addition to the marks of the sword slash, there are still a few clearly visible palm prints, alas, these people who attack the mountain are not mediocre hands, the palm prints are three inches into the stone, the depth is even, I am afraid that it is his father-in-law's eighteen palms of dragon descending, but that's it, Xiao Yuesheng secretly thought in his heart, it seems that the Vulture Palace was broken, but it is not all incompetent.

Xiao Yuesheng looked at it at a glance, and knew that this bluestone door was more than two feet thick, the original design of the mechanism, I am afraid that it was painstaking, this tens of millions of catties of boulders, the manpower spent, I don't want to know, this is similar to the broken dragon stone in the ancient tomb of his second brother and wife, this stone, inside and outside, is indeed a stone of the closed palace.

Xie Xiaolan took out the sheepskin in her sleeve to see how it was opened.

Xiao Yuesheng had already moved, the golden light flashed in his eyes, and then he slapped his palm, and the sound of the bell was like hitting an iron stone, indicating that it was in his heart.

Immediately take this as the center, the main circle is two feet, forming a diagram of gossip, and the eight palms are struck, all of which have the sound of Ding bell, which is not like bluestone, but like iron and stone hidden in it.

The method of opening written on the sheepskin flashed in his mind, one away from two shocks, three kans and four kun, five dry and six gen, seven Xun and eight exchanges, this is the order of high-fives, and it must be based on the eight wilderness [***] I only respect the merit, Xiao Yuesheng feels that this is quite like an eight-digit password, which is very interesting.

He once used Xie Xiaolan to shape the veins and create the intestines, and he was familiar with the internal force of his mental method, and the Eight Desolations [***] Solipse Skill was running in his body, and his fluency was as if he had practiced for decades.

A roaring sound sounded, and on the east side, which was more than ten meters away, there was a hole, and as the heavy stone door slowly opened, the hole became bigger and bigger, and finally became the size of two people.

Looking at Xie Xiaolan's stunned appearance, she knew that she didn't know the existence of this entrance at all.

Xiao Yuesheng was anti-guest, grabbed her thin waist, and said with a smile: "Let's go!"

Xiao Yuesheng had played in the ancient tomb of Zhongnan Mountain for a while, and he was quite adaptable to the authentic architecture, so he did not look around curiously, but Xie Xiaolan was looking forward to it and was surprised.

Walking in the cave, broken swords and broken knives can be seen everywhere, and several white bones are a little whiter than those on the platform outside the gate.

The cave is like a big tree with lush branches, and there is a fork in about 20 steps, and one fork after another, which actually constitutes a labyrinth.

Xiao Yuesheng was in a daze, leisurely, and actually came to the other side of the mountain, what appeared in front of the two of them was a horizontal iron cable and a more precipitous and higher peak on the opposite side, the mist on the peak was more like clouds, and the white clouds like cotton wool were arranged, clustering the opposite peak, and a stone castle loomed in the clouds.

Xiao Yuesheng was a little impatient, this was the real Ethereal Peak, she hugged Xie Xiaolan and appeared on the opposite peak.

Looking down, a stone castle is built on the mountain, although it has gone through countless wind and rain, it still stands proudly in the wind, this is the Vulture Palace.

The Ethereal Peak is like an upright triangular body, only the position of the Vulture Palace at the peak is slightly inclined, and below it, all are standing straight, unless they come with wings, there is no possibility of climbing.

On both sides of the stone castle, there is a stone statue of a vulture more than one zhang high, with a huge mouth and sharp claws, a mighty demeanor, with a terrifying aura, lifelike, as if trying to devour people.

It's a pity that the two cedar doors are half-hidden, and the one on the right has been dug out of a hole more than one person high, through which you can see the lush green pines inside.

"Alas, this is the Vulture Palace!" Standing on the neat bluestone road in front of the palace, Xie Xiaolan looked up at the flying vulture stone sculpture that wanted to devour people, and had mixed feelings in her heart.

She never thought that one day she would be able to enter the Vulture Palace, the Palace Master of the Vulture Palace is just a title, but now her long-cherished wish has been fulfilled, but there is only misery in her heart.

Xiao Yuesheng saw a deep and complicated emotion on her delicate jade face, and did not disturb her worries, the scene in the Vulture Palace had flashed in her mind, and if she looked closely, there was nothing to see, he had seen a lot of buildings and palaces, and there was nothing surprising about the Vulture Palace.

First is the main hall, and then a pavilion of eight arches around a single high building, and there are pavilions and pavilions mixed in with it, elegant, the evil spirit is faint, the white bone skeleton in the east and the west is more dense than the place before, Xiao Yuesheng counted it, there are forty or fifty white bones, which makes this palace more tragic and tragic.

He took Xie Xiaolan's little jade hand and stepped into the hall, the hall that had not been populated for decades finally ushered in its owner, Xie Xiaolan was worried, let him pull forward, and his mind was all attracted by what he saw.

There is no thick dust in the hall, this peak is extremely high, I am afraid that the dust is difficult to get on, the white bones and skeletons scattered everywhere, the bluestone is the ground, the blackened blood is almost invisible, the tables and chairs are scattered, the swords on it are vertical and horizontal, and few are spared.

Xiao Yuesheng found a good bench in the hall and sat down, and let Xie Xiaolan stand there in a daze, looking around, dizzying.

After staying for a while, Xiao Yuesheng was a little impatient, there was really nothing to see in this hall, and there was a picture of a tiger descending the mountain in the middle, which was magnificent, and the majestic aura seemed to be about to come out of the painting.

Draw a jujube wood couch, carved vulture pattern next to it, can lie down and sit, under the six steps, is the guest seat of the hall, two rows of Teng chairs, can accommodate dozens of people, quite atmospheric, look at the layout of this hall, it really does not seem to be from the hands of women, it seems that this Tianshan Tong grandmother does not let the women shave their eyebrows.

It's just that at this time, the chair is scattered, and even the long couch under the picture of the tiger going down the mountain has been cut off two couch legs and fallen to the ground, which is quite downtrodden and desolate.

"Madam, okay?!" Xiao Yuesheng stretched out a finger and tapped on the coffee table beside him.

Xie Xiaolan turned her head to look at him, her crystal eyes a little confused.

"There are no secret rooms here?" he asked, asking the question he was most interested in.

"Secret room?" Xie Xiaolan frowned and thought for a moment, then her eyes lit up, "Ah! there is a secret room!" Then she raised her head: "Do you want to see it?"

"Of course!" Xiao Yue was physically upright, he knew that there was a secret room in the Vulture Palace, engraved with the martial arts of the Tianshan Tong Grandma, he was not interested in those martial arts, and he was worried about whether there was any treasure hidden there, after all, he remembered that it was written in the book that during the first rebellion, those thirty-six caves and seventy-two islands had been struggling to find the treasures of the Vulture Palace.
