Chapter 2518 2520 [Empty Joy]
According to the records in the book "Tianlong Babu", Xiang Nan searched carefully in Qingfeng Pavilion, and finally found a secret passage in the northeast corner.
The secret passage extends smoothly, and I don't know how long and deep it is.
Seeing this, Xiang Nan lit a candle and walked in.
After walking about forty feet, two large stone gates appeared in front of them. According to the book, as long as you tap the stone door with a metal piece a few times, the stone door can be opened wide.
Xiang Nan immediately took out his short sword and knocked on the stone gate a few times, but the stone gate did not budge.
Xiang Nan was taken aback for a moment, and then changed the number of taps. But from two attempts to twenty times, the stone door was still tightly locked, with no sign of opening at all.
Xiang Nan frowned, then suddenly laughed,
The book records that the maid knocked a few times with a metal plate, and the stone door slowly opened.
He originally thought Shimen was voice-activated. Although it looks like a black technology, it may not be impossible to do this with the technology of the Happy School.
But now that I think about it, the lady-in-waiting's knocking on the metal plate was actually a signal to the people inside the door. Once the password is matched, the insider will be responsible for opening the door.
But now that a hundred years have passed, the people inside the door have already turned into dry bones, so who will he ask to open the door for him.
After Xiang Nan laughed, he tried to open the door violently.
He slapped the stone gate several times in a row. Although the stone chips were flying, it didn't help. Because the stone gate is very thick, I'm afraid it won't weigh ten thousand catties.
Although Xiang Nan's martial arts are high, he doesn't have the ability to move mountains and fill seas. With his own strength, he really can't open this stone gate, which makes him a little disappointed.
…
Xiang Nan stood at the stone gate, thinking carefully about the way to crack it, and suddenly had an idea.
He remembered the records in the book "Tian Long Ba Bu", led by the palace maids, Qunhao first passed through three stone gates, then crossed a deep stream, and finally passed through a large pine forest to a cave. After entering the cave, he walked through another corridor before arriving at Li Qinglu's inner study, which is where the stone carvings of the Xiaoyao School are located.
He began to think that the inner study was built underground. But since there is a large pine forest, it must be on the ground. Otherwise, how can pine forests grow underground.
Xiang Nan immediately exited the secret passage, and headed north according to the direction of the secret passage. I saw a small hill behind Qingfeng Pavilion, with lush green trees, stone steps and pavilions on it. It was supposed to be a place for people in the palace to play and repair.
Xiang Nan crossed the hill, and then walked north, he saw a towering palace wall, and the sound of gurgling water came from outside the wall, which just echoed the "deep stream" recorded in the book.
Xiang Nan was overjoyed, and immediately jumped out of the palace wall, and saw the sound of water coming from the moat.
He searched upstream along the moat, and after a while, he found a spring upstream. I saw the river gurgling out of this spring, the water flow was quite strong, obviously there was an underground water vein underneath.
Xiang Nan searched around again, but did not find the pine forest, but found the dilapidated Xixia Royal Garden. The location relationship between the Western Xia Palace and the Royal Garden is like the Forbidden City and Jingshan Park, they are not far apart.
I saw that this imperial garden is full of rocks and magnificent houses, but it has not been cleaned and repaired for many years, so it is already dilapidated. Even the trees in the garden have been secretly cut down by the people, leaving only the wild grass, fallen leaves, and broken walls all over the garden. ruins.
Xiang Nan guessed that this royal garden should be Li Qinglu's inner study, which is where Li Qiushui's practice room is located.
Li Qiushui wanted to practice martial arts, so in order to avoid being disturbed, he had to find a quiet place. But inside the palace, there are so many people, it's hard to be quiet for a moment, so she set up the practice room in the imperial garden. So quiet and elegant, no one will disturb you.
It is only a hundred years later. The Xixia Kingdom, which was in great prosperity at that time, has long since declined after internal power struggles and foreign invasions. Xia Xianzong, the penultimate emperor of Xixia, was even frightened to death by Genghis Khan.
Even the emperor lived such a humble life, how could Yuyuan be spared.
…
"The ruins are ruins, I hope the stone carvings are still there." Xiang Nan immediately searched in the imperial garden.
At this time, the imperial garden was already in dilapidation, and there was no one guarding it at all, so Xiang Nan had no scruples.
After searching for a long time, I finally found the stone cave gate.
Probably no one opened it for nearly a hundred years, the stone cave door was covered with dust, weeds and thorns grew, so Xiang Nan couldn't find it at first.
After he removed the weeds, thorns, and dust, the stone cave door finally appeared.
Xiang Nan searched around, and found the activation mechanism in the corner.
He immediately opened the engine cover, and there were a few creaks, and the stone cave door opened to both sides with a tooth-piercing noise. However, the door has not been opened for nearly a hundred years, and the mechanism has long since ceased to be as smooth as it used to be.
The stone cave door was only opened a thin crack, and it could no longer be moved.
Seeing this, Xiang Nan came to the door, inserted his hands into the slits, and then moved the universe to move, using his full potential to push the door open.
He was originally very powerful, but now he is running the Great Teleportation with all his strength to maximize his potential. In this way, the strength can reach more than ten thousand catties.
Under such a huge force, the stone door finally creaked open. When the gap was about **** wide, Xiang Nan stopped exercising, and then used the bone shrinking enamel, and got into the cave.
Passing through a thin corridor in the cave, the eyes suddenly opened up and saw a huge stone chamber. It was originally a natural cave in the mountain peak, and it was artificially modified with a huge size.
There are only some stone benches and tables in the stone room, and there are no other furnishings, so it looks very empty. Xiang Nan didn't care about these things, and immediately came to the stone wall.
But there are pits and holes on the stone wall, which seems to have signs of being destroyed.
Xiang Nan was taken aback, and quickly looked around, but found no stone carvings.
However, he could tell that those stone carvings were not smashed, but were pried away in their entirety.
"Who pried away these stone carvings? Not a single one was left behind." Xiang Nan was disappointed.
He came in with great difficulty. Originally, he was very happy to see that the Shimen cave was covered with weeds. He felt that there was no sign of breaking into the cave, and the stone carvings inside should be well preserved.
Unexpectedly, it was moved away long ago.
"There are many people who know about the stone carvings of the imperial palace, how can I find them now?" Xiang Nan asked worriedly.
When Li Qinglu was recruiting relatives, many heroes and young talents have been here, knowing that the stone carvings on the wall are advanced martial arts, and they may come to steal them afterwards.
As a result, there are too many suspects, and there is no way to find them, making Xiang Nan scratch his head.
"I'll go to Misty Peak in Tianshan to have a look, maybe there's still the Vulture Palace there." He then thought again.
Although after a hundred years, it is still a question whether the Xiaoyao faction exists or not, but after all, there is something to think about. Xiang Nan then set off for Tianshan.
