On the top of the mountain, the purple cloud hovered.
It was a clear night. If there were no purple clouds, you could clearly see the stars in the sky on such a high mountain.
But because of the purple clouds, the moonlight could only pour down through the purple clouds.
The moonlight was also dyed purple, falling on the white Taiyuan ruins, and the entire ruins seemed to be dyed purple.
Back then, Prince Taiyuan of Penglai chose Taiyuan Mountain as his new territory. He took a group of relatives and subordinates and settled in Taiyuan Mountain, which was still a wasteland at that time.
There is no historical record of how many people Prince Taiyuan brought with him.
But judging from the number of private houses in the Taiyuan ruins, this number of people cannot be less than a hundred, because there are hundreds of houses in the entire Taiyuan City.
White is the main color of Taiyuan ruins.
The buildings here, from private houses to the main palace of Taiyuan City, are all made of white stone, just like a village in a fairy tale.
Climb up the steps covered with moss.
I could hear the cold wind blowing from the top of the mountain. Late at night, the ruins were completely silent, not even the chirping of insects could be heard.
Keep going forward.
At the highest point of Taiyuan Mountain, on the steepest mountain wall near the ocean, there is a miraculous castle covering an area of more than ten acres.
It was indeed a castle. Compared with the castles in the medieval castle albums that Yun Sheng had seen in modern times, it was more majestic and magical.
This castle is the Taiyuan City Lord's Palace. The Taiyuan City Lord's Palace was built by Penglai Prince Taiyuan at the expense of a lot of money.
When the main palace of Taiyuan City was first built, it was very beautiful. It was like a pearl on Taiyuan Mountain, shining brightly no matter day or night.
But since Taiyuan City was destroyed overnight, this place has become a forbidden place in the eyes of the outside world.
If it hadn't been for the starry sky magic circle in the Dharma Temple to indicate that the Eight Desolate Artifacts were hidden here, I'm afraid no one would break into this place again.
The main palace of Taiyuan City, like other residences in the Taiyuan ruins, is already incomplete.
But compared to the ordinary residences in the Taiyuan ruins, the damage to the castle was more severe.
It seemed that it had experienced an attack similar to an earthquake or hurricane, or it had experienced a terrible thunderstorm, and the entire city lord's palace was split into two halves.
Its dome-shaped roof is like a head chopped off by a guillotine, rolling to the ground.
The walls and doors have also collapsed.
But if you look closely, you will see that whether it is the walls or the masonry, every brick and tile of the Taiyuan City Lord's Mansion is carved from priceless ivory.
Even after the terrible accident hundreds of years ago, every ivory is still as new as new.
Through the broken walls and tilted door panels, you can see the luxurious scene of the former city lord's palace.
The ground was inlaid with magnificent marble, and the magic fountain that had dried up poured to the ground.
There are also a large number of gold coins and precious gems scattered on the ground in the city lord's mansion, including some soul stones.
These things alone have driven most people on the Wuji Continent crazy. Just taking some of them at will is enough to keep many people from worrying about food and clothing for a lifetime.
But all of this has been scattered on the ground silently for hundreds of years.
The night is getting darker.
At this time, a strange sound came from somewhere in the deepest part of the city lord's palace.
Because they were too far away, Yun Sheng and others who were still on the ridge could not hear the sounds here.
The sound was very soft at first, but as time went by, the sound became louder and louder.
"Dong dong dong dong"
"Whoosh whoosh"
It's like someone is underground, banging, trying to break out of a dungeon.
It's also like a prisoner being tortured, overwhelmed and breathing heavily.
The sound of banging and gasping continued all night, and the sound gradually disappeared after the first ray of morning light appeared on the horizon.
On the ridge, Yun Sheng had completed his morning meditation.
She unexpectedly discovered that after entering Taiyuan Mountain, despite the many crises, under the influence of heavenly meditation, the magic power in her body had stabilized a lot, and she had faintly risen from the elementary level of sky magician to the level of sky magician.
level.
It only took a few days and nights to make such gratifying progress. Taiyuan Mountain is indeed a very mysterious place.
"The time is not far behind, we are ready to set off," Lan and Dugu Xiu each organized their troops, and several other major forces also headed towards the ruins of Taiyuan.
After climbing a not-so-steep mountain road, the ruins of Taiyuan finally appeared in front of us.
So quiet.
What a nice view.
This is the feeling everyone has when entering the Taiyuan Ruins.
Apart from the whistling sea breeze, there was no sound around.
This place is like a corner forgotten by the world, with thousands of private houses scattered in an orderly manner on this flat ridge.
Prince Taiyuan of Penglai must be a man who is very good at government affairs. Taiyuan City is not big, just the size of a village, but the houses here are all the same regardless of their height or style.
Outside private houses, there are uniform animal enclosures for keeping monsters and some traces of magic circles.
There are many ditches in the city, making water conservancy construction very convenient.
For example, there is a magic water supply device in the bedroom. When the magic circle is activated, clean water will flow out from the faucet.
In addition, there are a large number of magic arrays arranged in the residences. These magic arrays can be used for heating and cooking. It can be seen that magic was very popular in Taiyuan City at that time, and most of the residents knew magic.
There are neat paths between the houses.
Judging from the situation more than five hundred years ago, Taiyuan City was comparable to any powerful city-state on the Wuji Continent today in terms of economy and residence.
However, this also aggravated everyone's doubts as to why such a peaceful and peaceful city fell overnight.
Because of the purple clouds, the sunlight on the top of the mountain is not strong.
The ground is covered with emerald green weeds.
Everyone did not rush forward to look for the city lord's mansion, but went to nearby private houses to take a look first.
After five or six days of solitary confinement, everyone no longer had much food and water.
Although they didn't have particularly high hopes, they still wanted to see if they could find any food and water in private houses.
Because 60 to 70% of the houses in the Taiyuan ruins have been damaged, either collapsed or their walls collapsed.
Lan and Yun Sheng searched for about a quarter of an hour before they found a private house that was relatively lightly damaged.
They pushed open the ajar door, only to hear a creaking sound.
The door opened.
This is a private house facing north and south. There are three entrances. The entrance is the hall and the bedrooms are on the side.
In the hall, everything is normal.
"Yun Sheng, look," Senior Sister Lan pointed to the dining table in the hall.
On the dining table, there were bowls, chopsticks, and several plates of dishes that had not been finished in time.
