Chapter 152 Underground
"That's right..." The oldest master also nodded and acknowledged the matter.
"I have also heard from my ancestors, and haven't you noticed that there are almost no county towns near Qinglian Mountain?"
After hearing what the old man said, everyone immediately started thinking about it.
Yes, the Qinglian Mountains are rich, but there are really no county towns nearby.
The nearest county is Jin'an County, which is quite far away from the Qinglian Sword Sect.
Thinking of this, Nan Yanxi became even more curious. What is the reason?
An An couldn't bear the curiosity in his heart, and everyone walked towards the mountain gate in a vigilant formation.
Stepping on the bluestone stairs, although it is dilapidated, it is not difficult to see its former glory.
Everyone walked up for a long time, and when they reached the top of the mountain, what they saw was a piece of ruins.
But due to the foundation, many wall roots have not yet collapsed.
Nan Yanxi waved her hand and told everyone to look around, but not to go too far.
After receiving the order, everyone dispersed, and Nan Yanxi and Mu Qingyan also walked towards the ruins.
It has been so long that even the hard bluestone has been eroded by wind and rain, not to mention other traces.
Slowly squatting down, gently pushing aside the covering soil, and a small broken stone slab was cleared out.
But Nan Yanxi couldn't recognize the writing on the small stone tablet at all.
Turning to look at Mu Qingyan aside: "Sister Mu... do you know these words?"
Hearing this, Mu Qingyan knelt down and took a closer look, with a look of surprise on her face: "This...is Hulan script!"
"Hulanwen?" Nan Yanxi's face was full of questions.
"Yes." Seeing his confusion, Mu Qingyan slowly explained: "According to legend... there was a Hulan Kingdom seven or eight hundred years ago."
"It was very powerful, very rich, and very glorious, but then, for unknown reasons, the Hulan Kingdom suddenly collapsed."
"There are almost no records in subsequent documents. I happened to have read a few books about this ancient writing."
"Oh~" After hearing this, Nan Yanxi nodded. The collapse of a country and a dynasty is nothing but normal.
Then he asked: "Then...can you recognize some of these words?"
"I just flipped through it casually, give it a try..." Mu Qingyan leaned down and looked at the words carefully.
After a long time, Mu Qingyan said doubtfully: "It seems to say... this sect is called... Tianme Pavilion."
"Specially responsible for protecting something for Hu Languo, and then...it seems that its master developed some kind of medicine."
"I can't see the rest clearly, and I can't recognize some of them."
After speaking, he pointed to the remaining words and said, "This should mean longevity."
"And this should mean running, and this... means time."
He scratched his head in embarrassment: "Well...that's about it."
Nan Yanxi nodded and pulled out the small stone slab, preparing to take it back and study it slowly.
But I didn't expect that under the stone slab, it was actually empty.
There was actually a rotten wooden box lying inside.
"Eh?" The two of them exclaimed, and Nan Yanxi reached out and took out the broken wooden box.
It was so old that the wooden box was in a state of decay, and it broke into pieces with just a light touch.
From inside, a yellowed parchment roll fell out.
I don’t know what method was used to prevent corrosion and insect pests, but the old sheepskin did not rot.
Nan Yanxi opened it, and there were still some Hulan texts inside, and handed it to Mu Qingyan casually.
Unexpectedly, Mu Qingyan only knew a few of the words, which had no meaning.
The two analyzed that what was recorded in this parchment should be some martial arts secrets or formulas.
After putting away the sheepskin scroll and picking up the stone slab, the two returned to the meeting point.
At this time, other people in the team also rushed back one after another, and most of them found no valuable clues.
Later, he brought back some porcelain and several badly rusted weapons.
Several people analyzed it and found that this should be the front mountain, and walking inward is its core.
Nan Yanxi and Mu Qingyan exchanged opinions and decided to walk inside again.
Instruct the team to move forward in alert formation and watch their steps.
The layout of this sect is similar to that of the Qinglian Sword Sect, except that it is larger.
It took everyone two hours to slowly search the back mountain.
During this period, some documentary objects were found, some of which were porcelain and pottery, and some of which were stone slabs.
The area of the back mountain is much smaller, and the gurgling stream leading down from the top of the mountain is still flowing.
It's just that the landscape pond is already full of messy aquatic plants.
Nan Yanxi once again ordered everyone to disperse to see what else they could find.
As for himself, he took Mu Qingyan and walked deeper.
There should be a hall-like building in front of it.
Although it was extremely dilapidated and covered with vines outside, it did not collapse.
I don't know how it was built.
The two of them, holding firecrackers, slowly arrived in front of the main hall, only to see that the doors and windows were all rotten and fallen.
The stone statue in the temple has also collapsed half of its body.
The two of them investigated separately, and there were occasionally signs of wild beast activity in the hall.
On the walls of the main hall, there are some incomprehensible paintings, and I don’t know what they mean.
While he was looking at it carefully, Mu Qingyan's shout came from the next room.
"Yan Xi...come here and take a look..."
Hearing the sound, Nan Yanxi hurried over and saw Mu Qingyan looking at the statue in front of her in confusion.
Seeing him running in, he pointed at the Buddha statue: "Look, this thing... seems to be able to rotate."
As he spoke, he reached out and touched it.
"Hey, don't move!" Nan Yanxi hurriedly stopped her, but it was already too late.
There was only a roar, and then the two of them fell down.
...
When he came back to his senses, his eyes were completely dark.
Someone was vaguely shouting overhead: "Commander...! Commander...! Are you okay?"
Nan Yanxi shook her head and patted the black ash on her head.
Shout to the top of your head: "Hey...I'm here...!"
After a while, there was a response from above: "Commander, are you okay?"
"It's okay, it's okay... find a way to get the vines down! Throw down two more torches for me!"
"yes!"
Everyone above them got the order and hurriedly prepared to go.
Nan Yanxi took out the fire certificate: "Sister Mu...Sister Mu?"
Looking both sides, he saw Mu Qingyan lying not far from him, probably fainted.
Nan Yanxi hurried over, picked her up and called her softly.
After a while, Mu Qingyan woke up leisurely: "Uh? Yan Xi? This... what is this place?"
Nan Yanxi looked around and said, "I want to know too... But it's so dark here that I can't see anything clearly."
Then she complained to Mu Qingyan: "I told you not to move around. It's better now. Does it hurt after the fall?"
"Hehe...it's okay." Mu Qingyan stuck out her tongue playfully.
Suddenly I felt something behind my butt.
Mu Qingyan touched it casually and immediately felt something was wrong.
