Save the Bachelor of Heaven

Xiang Nan immediately rode to Tianshan Mountain.

Day and night, it took half a month, and finally came to the foot of Tianshan Mountain.

However, the Tianshan Mountains are 5,000 miles long from east to west, and 600 miles wide on average from north to south. It is the largest independent latitudinal mountain system in the world.

The Vulture Palace is a branch of the Xiaoyao Sect, and has never liked to be ostentatious and mysterious. Even Murong Fu, who has been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, has never heard of Tianshan Child Elder's name.

Therefore, although Xiang Nan arrived at Tianshan Mountain, it still took about half a year to find out the location of Vulture Palace.

In the past six months, he has traveled almost all over the Tianshan Mountains, looking for elders, and asking for news about Misty Peak. It was really hard work.

Fortunately, he didn't completely waste the past six months.

He happened to meet a Persian businessman in the Western Regions, learned Persian characters from him by the way, and just happened to practice the martial arts in the Torch Order.

The Holy Fire Order records the essence of the martial arts of the old man in the mountains, which is quite different from the martial arts of the Middle Earth. It should be front to back, left to right, mysterious and wonderful, and it is the pinnacle of heresy.

However, the level of this martial art is actually not high, it still wins by moves, it is only equivalent to the first level of sword level of Dugu Qiubai, and it has not even reached the level of [Great Skills and Unworkable Skills]. It's not as good as treating real masters.

...

The so-called hard work pays off, after half a year of searching, Xiang Nan finally found out the location of the Vulture Palace on Misty Peak through the mouth of a herdsman.

It turned out that when his grandma was ill, she was treated by the people of Vulture Palace. After his grandmother recovered from her illness, she took the most delicious mutton, the most mellow cheese, and the sweetest melons and fruits to Misty Peak to thank her, and was fortunate enough to enter the Vulture Palace.

According to what she said back, Vulture Palace is like a fairyland. Majestic and majestic, with a myriad of scenes, beauties like clouds, laughter, delicious food, and fine wine, it is completely different from the diet of the world.

It is precisely because of this that it left a deep impression on the herdsmen, imagining countless times that he would also climb Misty Peak, enter the Vulture Palace, and live a fairy life.

It's just that Misty Peak is hidden in the mountains and is heavily guarded. If you climb up without invitation, you will be beaten at least, and at worst you will lose your life.

Therefore, for hundreds of years, none of the surrounding people dared to climb the mountain at will, and regarded it as a forbidden area.

After Xiang Nan heard about it, he was overjoyed and immediately went to Misty Peak.

When I came to the foot of the mountain, I looked up and saw that the mountain peak was covered with clouds and mist.

Xiang Nan used his lightness kung fu to skyrocket all the way.

What surprised him was that along the way, he didn't see any maids from Vulture Palace, instead he saw some white bones scattered on both sides of the mountain road.

"Could it be that Vulture Palace is no longer there?" Seeing this, Xiang Nan couldn't help thinking.

He rushed straight up all the way, passing many natural dangers on the way, but he passed them all one by one.

An hour later, he came to a cliff. Under the cliff is a bottomless valley, while on the opposite side there are some faint pavilions, hidden in the clouds and mist, looming.

"Then it must be the Vulture Palace." Xiang Nan was overjoyed, then took out the rope he had prepared earlier, and threw it far away to the opposite side, entangled a big tree.

Xiang Nan immediately pulled the rope, and the whole person flew over the cliff at a high speed, landed steadily on the opposite mountain, and then continued to follow the trail to the peak.

After walking for another hour, we have reached the top of Misty Peak. I saw that the top was covered by clouds and mist, and there were pine trees as far as the eye could see, but no human voice could be heard.

Moreover, more and more bones were seen along the way, as well as some swords, shields, crossbows, hidden weapons, etc. Most of them were destroyed and corroded, which clearly showed that there had been fierce fighting before.

Xiang Nan faintly felt that something was wrong, and continued walking along a road paved with bluestone slabs. After walking for less than two miles, he saw a huge stone castle towering in front of him. The ferocious vulture is more than three feet high, with a sharp beak and huge claws. It is an extraordinary horse.

However, if you look closely, you can find that the outer wall of the stone castle is mottled and scorched, obviously showing signs of being set on fire. Moreover, the gate of the fort is also covered with marks of chopping with knives and axes. Even after decades, one can still imagine the brutality of the battle at that time.

...

Xiang Nan stepped into the stone fort, and saw that the inside of the stone fort was even more dilapidated, with ruined walls, dead branches and leaves, bony bones, and rampant snakes and ants.

Seeing this, Xiang Nan couldn't help frowning.

Afterwards he searched the castle carefully, and found that although the entire Vulture Palace occupies a very large area and has hundreds of houses, there is not a single complete house at this time.

And every house showed signs of being burned, so that nothing of value was left. As for the classics and books in Vulture Palace's collection, there are none of them, it seems that they have all been emptied.

Xiang Nan also found that most of the bones of the dead present were blackened, which was obviously a sign of poisoning.

According to his guess, about 30 years ago, the Vulture Palace was poisoned collectively, and then washed in blood. Afterwards, the Vulture Palace was completely emptied and burned. The huge foundation, accumulated over hundreds of years, turned into ashes.

But Xiang Nan knew that the most valuable things in the Vulture Palace were not gold, silver, jewels, or rare and exotic objects, but those were all things outside the body.

Its most precious thing is the stone carvings in the stone room, which is where the essence of martial arts in Vulture Palace lies. As long as the stone carvings are still there, even if the Vulture Palace is destroyed, there is still the possibility of a comeback.

...

According to the records in the book "Tianlong Babu", Xiang Nan first came to the garden of Vulture Palace, and then tried to move the rockery in the garden.

Seeing that the originally magnificent and peculiar rockery in the garden had been smashed to pieces, Xiang Nan felt a pity when he saw it. It can also be seen from this that the person who took the shot really hated the Vulture Palace, so he refused to let go of the rockery, and he had to smash it to pieces to be happy.

After Xiang Nan removed the rubble, he found a passage, and he walked in with a candle.

Because he knew that this passage was full of hidden weapons and traps, Xiang Nan walked very carefully along the way. Fortunately, he had learned mechanics from Huang Yaoshi, and with his profound martial arts skills, even casual tricks couldn't do anything to him, so the journey was safe and sound.

After twists and turns, circling downwards, and walking for about two miles, there was finally no way ahead.

Xiang Nan settled down, and then pushed away the rock on the left side, revealing a huge stone hall.

Xiang Nan stepped in and held up a candle in front of the stone wall to shine a light on it, his heart immediately turned cold. It can be seen that the stone wall here is also covered with traces of potholes, and the stone carvings on it have long since disappeared.

"Made, who on earth is so ruthless that I won't leave any scum to me?" Xiang Nan was speechless for a moment.

He was greedy enough, but he didn't expect this person to be more greedy than him. When he went to Shaolin Temple to steal scriptures, he just read them and did not empty the scripture cave of Shaolin Temple. But this person removed all the stone carvings in Vulture Palace and Xixia Palace, and uprooted them, it was too much.

"You've moved, so you can practice? Those martial arts, if you don't have enough internal strength, it's harmful to practice, so you should seek death." Xiang Nan couldn't help cursing.
