Chapter 181 Secret Path
The two chatted for a while, and Xu Yang felt that although there were many houses in the city, they had obviously been plundered by treasure robbers who had sneaked in before. There were probably no valuable things left. Huo Qingtong also thought so.
After taking out the map and comparing it, Xu Yang pointed to the front of the mountain and said, "The map says that the palace is in that direction, let's go and take a look."
After saying that, he went straight toward the palace.
When he walked to the palace shown in the map, Xu Yang was disappointed. Where was the magnificent palace in his imagination and the palace inlaid with gold and jade?
This is the foot of the white mountain. However, when you look closely, the white mountain is more beautiful. The whole is a huge white jade. The jade is of excellent quality, snow-white all over, and the light is pure. This mountain should only be found in books. If there was such a pure white jade peak in the real world, wouldn't it have been seen long ago?
But, what about the palace that was agreed upon?
Could it be?
Is this palace built in the hillside? What a big project?
Previously, the Red Flower Association was built on the shore of Taihu Lake, and most of them were built on the hill. However, the hill was not big, so Xuyang could understand such a project, and this jade mountain was obviously much taller and more majestic. The project volume was probably ten times, a hundred times that of the Red Flower Association, right?
If so, then the original king here should be very powerful to exploit the people.
It reminded Xu Yang of the old man Qin Shihuang who built Afang Palace.
However, the warriors of the returning troops searched everywhere but still could not see the trace of the palace. Xu Yang had to open the treasure map again, and Huo Qingtong also came up to watch it. Xu Yang simply handed the map to Huo Qingtong. Anyway, he couldn't understand it, so why not let her study it.
Huo Qingtong looked carefully for a while, then looked around the surrounding scenery, and said with certainty: "It should be here, but there are many roads on the mountain in front of you. What's the reason?"
Xu Yang nodded: "It's true. I thought about it for a long time. This palace must be built in the belly of the mountain, but I don't know where to enter?"
Huo Qingtong pointed to a passage on the map and said, "If you want to enter the palace, you can go to the top of the big tree and shout three times to Shenfeng: 'Along Abhasheng', where is this big tree? What kind of spell is 'Along Abhasheng'?"
Xu Yang was also puzzled and accidentally swept the ground a few steps away, and something raised up, with a different shape. Xu Yang bent down and looked carefully. He saw that the object was mixed and it turned out to be a huge tree root, so he shouted: "The big tree is here!"
Huo Qingtong came over and looked at it, and said, "That's it. Thousands of years have passed, and the plants and trees here are gone. I think the big tree has already died, and only this piece of tree roots are left."
Xu Yang thought so too. Since he found the big tree, Xu Yang stood on the tree stump and shouted a few times: "Love Long Ah Barson! Love Long Ah Barson!"
Then, nothing was born...
The warriors of the returning troops turned around and saw what method Mr. Xu was using?
Xu Yang felt a few crows flying over his head, and several black lines appeared on his face.
It's so embarrassing.
Huo Qingtong held back his smile and said warmly: "I think this is the slogan for the exchange of guards inside the palace to open the door. It's just that thousands of years have passed, and those guards cannot be still there. But since they are calling for slogans here, I think there must be an entrance to the palace nearby, so why not just look here carefully?"
Xu Yang naturally agreed, so Huo Qingtong called everyone to search for clues nearby.
Finally someone looked up at the mountain and suddenly shouted: "Mr. Xu, look, someone seemed to have dug up the mountain!"
Xu Yang looked up and noticed the traces of axe on the mountain. He also smiled and said, "I'm afraid the cave door is there. Look, aren't there any chiseled footsteps on it?" Huo Qingtong and others also saw the traces on the mountain, and they all liked it very much.
This clue is so secret that no one has noticed it for many years. This treasure should still exist, and everyone feels that this time it has never been in vain.
Xu Yang said, "I'll go up and take a look." He then concentrated his energy and ran up the cliff, reaching more than two feet. He raised the Lengyue sword and poked it into the gap between the jade peaks. After leveraging the force, he jumped more than one feet high, and had reached the place where he stepped on. Everyone cheered in unison.
Xu Yang's light skills were already rare in the world at this time, and they also had the advantage of a precious sword. If he changed himself, he might be able to jump up, but he would never be as easy as he did.
Xu Yang cleared the sand near his foot, cleared a little space, and hollowed out the sand and stones accumulated in the abdomen of the mountain for many years, barely opening a hole that was enough for one person to enter and exit. Then he put down the rope and pulled Huo Qingtong and a dozen of the best-in-class warriors up, while the rest were responsible for guarding the bottom to prevent someone from intervening suddenly.
When everyone entered the cave, they saw that it was pitch black inside. Someone had already opened the fire slit. The space inside the abdomen of the mountain was wider, with a height of more than ten feet downward, which was far more exaggerated than the three or four feet outside. It was obvious that the previous generations dug the hole and reached the depths of the ground.
Xu Yang put down the rope again, but it was not long enough. It was still five or six feet away from the ground at the end. Xu Yang used the rope to slide halfway through the way, and then used his light skills. He pointed his toes on the mountain wall and slowly descended, so that he could keep his feet on the ground.
Open the fire break and observe the four sides. It is now very vast. Xu Yang used the fire break to ignite the oil lamp on the mountain wall next to it. Fortunately, the lamp oil from a thousand years ago could still be used. For a time, this palace, which had been around for thousands of years, appeared in front of everyone again.
Xu Yang shouted loudly and asked the people above to come down. Huo Qingtong was the first to climb down the rope. When he reached the end of the rope, he let go of his hands and fell down. Her light skills were far inferior to Xu Yang, but out of trust in him, he still chose to jump down.
Xu Yang jumped in the air, spread his arms and hugged Huo Qingtong. The two of them slowly fell down. Huo Qingtong's face was flushed with shame, but he didn't seem to be angry.
The remaining warriors, Huo Qingtong, ordered a few guard ropes to be left behind, and Xu Yang also caught them one by one, but the process was far less beautiful than before.
After everyone came down, they searched the surrounding situation as instructed. This place should have been the foreground of the palace, and there were no treasures stored, only some tables and chairs still maintained their appearance back then.
There was no strong wind blowing in the abdomen of the mountain, so everything was preserved very well. Xu Yang ordered everyone to fold down the feet of some tables as torches and go straight ahead along a corridor that was obviously the only passage.
The corridor was not long. After walking for a while, it was almost over. Everyone saw a golden light flashing in the distance. They were a little surprised and dared not move forward.
