The place Qin Yunchuan was pointing to was a plaque that had fallen on the front steps. For some unknown reason, it was broken into three pieces. And there is exactly one word engraved on each broken plaque.
Everyone slowly gathered around. Mu Jingyu stretched out the tip of his sword and read one by one from right to left: "Jin... Xiu... Palace!"
After saying these three words, everyone took a breath and looked at each other. Qin Yunchuan said: "Jinxiu Palace... Jinxiu Palace... How come the name of this palace is exactly the same as Jinxiu Palace! Could it be that..."
Qin Yunchuan did not dare to continue talking. As far as they know, the Jinxiu Palace sect has not been established for a long time, only about two hundred years. If the guess comes true, wouldn't it prove that this sect was the site of the Splendid Palace hundreds of years ago?
Cang Wu, who was standing aside, was speechless, but nodded slightly and said to himself: "Sure enough, it's the same as my guess."
Although Cang Wu confirmed what he was thinking, he did not say it out loud and still pretended to be silent, hoping to see what else he would find inside the palace next.
"Senior Brother Qin, let's not jump to conclusions yet." Su Yingying said: "Maybe... it's just a coincidence that the name of Jinxiu Palace and this plaque have the same name."
Zhou Yan continued: "Yes, yes, let's stop being suspicious and let's go inside and take a look first. Maybe it's just a coincidence as Yingying said?"
The other teenagers silently agreed. There is no way. If this is really the former site of Jinxiu Palace, doesn't it mean that the fairy treasures here are most likely owned by Jinxiu Palace? In this way, if they want to take it out without notifying Jinxiu Palace, once they find out, how will they face everyone in Jinxiu Palace?
"Let's go and take a look inside." Qin Yunchuan's face was heavy. The appearance of the Jinxiu Palace plaque really surprised him and made him feel uneasy.
The second reason for not being able to successfully obtain the Immortal Treasure was that the most important thing was that he could no longer pick the aglossus growing outside at will.
The only thing I can pray for now is that as Su Yingying said, it's just a coincidence.
However, when they entered the palace next, everyone couldn't help but feel worried. I am worried about finding other evidence inside, proving that this is indeed the former site of Splendid Palace.
Firstly, it was because Jinxiu Palace itself was not weak in strength, and its relationship with Mu Jingyu and others was also close. Once their suspicions were confirmed, how could they dare to take away the contents rashly?
However, if it was just a coincidence... when they thought about it more deeply, they thought it was unlikely.
At this moment, everyone is thinking about the records about the Splendid Palace in their books.
According to the records of the Jiuhua School, the Jinxiu Palace was built more than 200 years ago by a woman named Shangguan Wushuang. I don’t know where this originally unknown woman practiced before, but at the age of over forty, her cultivation reached the peak of Kaitian.
As soon as he came out of his seclusion, he made quite a name in Kyushu. Following the recruitment of women, the Splendid Palace was finally established.
After more than two hundred years of inheritance, it ranks among the top nine. The overall strength is second only to Jiuhua Sect and Emei Sect, two famous sects that have been inherited for thousands of years.
It's just that from the very beginning of the establishment of this sect, the first palace master Shangguan Wushuang has set a sect rule to only recruit women and never accept any man, even if he has outstanding talents.
Moreover, every palace lord is succeeded by her heirs. So, this Shangguan Xixi is the descendant of the first palace lord Shangguan Wushuang.
But for more than two hundred years, no one has ever heard or seen that the master of Jinxiu Palace has a husband. Since they don’t have husbands, where do their children come from?
Some people speculate that once the Shangguan family determines the candidate for the next palace master, they will let her move around the Kyushu. Then he concealed his identity and formed a secret alliance with some young heroes. In the end, heirs are born, and the one with the best talent is selected and trained, so that the Shangguan family can continue to reproduce.
It's just that no one has ever personally admitted that he has had physical intimacy with a woman from the Shangguan family, so this kind of speculation is just a guess.
Another speculation is that the Shangguan family is not inherited from the same line. Instead, the next palace master will be selected among the countless female disciples he has accepted. However, after they become palace lords, they have to change their names and surnames to Shangguan. That's why the world thinks that the Shangguan family is of the same origin.
No matter what kind of speculation it is, because the Jinxiu Palace has been secretive for more than two hundred years, and the disciples are very strict in speaking, no internal information about the selection of the palace master has ever been leaked. Naturally, the outside world can only speculate, but do not know the real details.
Everyone was very nervous as they walked up the stone steps, fearing that they would find evidence that Jinxiu Palace was related to this place.
"Everyone spread out, don't just look for the fairy treasures, but also check... if there are any suspicious clues." Mu Jingyu obviously wanted to remind them that once suspicious evidence is found, don't just look for it because it has something to do with Jinxiu Palace. , but hid it and didn’t want to say it out.
"Don't worry, we know what you mean." Qin Yunchuan nodded and looked at Cang Wu specifically.
How could the latter not know what the two of them meant, and said quickly: "You two young heroes, don't worry, although this immortal treasure is good, it is not as important as my life, nor the lives of hundreds of disciples under my Cangdao sect. I I don’t dare to take the risk of offending Jinxiu Palace and insist on winning the Immortal Treasure.”
"It's best if Master Cang Clan understands, so I won't say anything more." Mu Jingyu nodded and walked towards the side of the ruined palace.
As everyone dispersed, they discovered that this palace occupies a large area. Combined with the many palaces seen from a distance, it was almost the second largest. It can be seen from this that this palace with the same name as Jinxiu Palace must occupy a pivotal position in this sect.
Because most of the place was dilapidated, it didn't take long for several people to move around and gather together again.
Mu Jingyu asked: "Have you discovered anything?"
Several people shook their heads at the same time, and Qin Yunchuan said: "Jingyu, maybe we are thinking too much. There is no connection between this place and Jinxiu Palace. It's just the same name."
"Then...where are the traces of the Immortal Treasure?"
Cang Wu replied: "I have no clue either. I think it should be deeper. How about... let's go inside and have a look?"
When Mu Jingyu inspected the surroundings, he found no trace of the Jinxiu Palace, and there was no trace of the Immortal Treasure either. Moreover, because his cultivation level was higher than that of others, he knew that Cang Wu was right, and the aura of the immortal treasure should still be somewhere inside.
"Okay, let's take a look inside again." Since there is nothing suspicious here, Mu Jingyu naturally agreed with Cang Wu and continued to look inside.
Walking out of the palace along the relatively complete ground, there is still a void in front of you. A winding bluestone path suspended in mid-air, along with a small palace not far to the left and below.
After Mu Jingyu greeted a few people to go out, they all stepped onto the bluestone path at their feet. Bi Yun, who was at the end, couldn't help but look back again, and saw another plaque hanging diagonally in front of the palace door, with the same three characters "Jinxiu Palace" written on it.
However, Bi Yun's eyes fell on the crimson wooden pillar next to her. This seemingly ordinary wooden pillar is engraved with countless patterns of flowers.
At first glance, there is nothing strange about it, but in the center of each flower, there is a brocade character shaped like a flower!
Perhaps others didn't notice it, but Bi Yun first discovered it in the patterns on the palace walls, and then saw it on the wooden pillars outside.
And from her impression of seeing the disciples of Jinxiu Palace several times, all the disciples have such a brocade character embroidered with flowers on their sleeves and collars!
It's just that these brocade characters are too small and intertwined with the surrounding flowers, so you can't find them without looking carefully.
Bi Yun judged from this point and suspected that this palace was really the original site of Jinxiu Palace? If this is really the case... then the Jinxiu Palace was not what the world thought, but was built by Shangguan Wushuang more than 200 years ago!
So...why do they hide their true origins? Which sect destroyed this old site? Does Jinxiu Palace know about this place?
Bi Yun was not like Mu Jingyu, who was only worried about enmity with Jinxiu Palace. She wanted Qin Yunchuan and others to get the dragon tongue grass more. After all, there were still many powerful enemies to deal with in Kyushu today.
There are too few strong people on their side. As for what others think, Mu Jingyu's relationship with the Jiuli Tribe, Lingjue Temple and other factions is relatively good, but it has not reached the point where he can truly trust his life. Once the situation changes, who can guarantee that these people will firmly stand on Mu Jingyu's side?
Only Qin Yunchuan and others are worthy of true trust. Only by improving their cultivation can we help them at the critical moment.
That's why Bi Yun hid her discovery and decided not to tell it for the time being. Take a look at the situation and decide whether to tell them what you have discovered next.
The empty void space, coupled with the lonely bluestone path suspended in the air, looked extremely strange. Even people like Mu Jingyu and others who are cultivating immortality and seeking knowledge can't help but feel fear in their hearts.
After a quarter of an hour, everyone finally walked through the bluestone path. They looked at the dark void space below with lingering fear, and they all covered their chests.
The palace in front of me is much smaller than the Splendid Palace. And around it, there are many paths connecting many houses.
Qin Yunchuan and others have been worshiping Jiuhua Mountain since childhood, and they can tell at a glance that this is where this unknown sect should settle its disciples.
After everyone searched separately again, they found nothing suspicious. Of course, I also found that this place was not related to Jinxiu Palace, so I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Just as Qin Yunchuan, Mu Jingyu and others were relaxing, Cang Wu and Bi Yun frowned slightly.
If there is something similar to the Splendid Palace here, it can further prove their guess. But if not...it proves that both of them guessed wrong. The Splendid Palace in front of them really just happens to have the same name!
"Jingyu, which palace should we go to next?" After searching around and finding no trace of the immortal treasure, Qin Yunchuan and Mu Jingyu walked through the palace side by side, looking at the many palaces in front of them. said.
The place where the two of them were at the moment was a martial arts training ground outside the palace, with three bluestone paths extending from the front and the left and right sides. When Mu Jingyu looked around, he found that after the three bluestone paths extended separately, there were many more paths connecting them, each connecting dozens of large or small palaces and houses.
But without exception, all the palace buildings are the same as the two seen before. The difference was that, looking from above, they found that there were still traces of the war on the tops of these palace buildings.
This can also prove from the side that their previous speculation was good, that this place was wiped out by a strong person or sect.
After Mu Jingyu glanced around, he pointed to a palace slightly smaller than the Jinxiu Palace in front of him and said: "Brother Qin, I think the size of that palace is second only to the Jinxiu Palace. How about we... go there and take a look. look?"
Qin Yunchuan looked in the direction of Mu Jingyu's finger, and sure enough he found that among the dozens of palaces and houses he could see, which one was the largest.
At this time, the other people all came to the two of them and stepped onto the bluestone path under their feet again.
Because the palace was still far away from here, and there were many forks in the middle, it took everyone almost half an hour to get here.
However, everyone gradually realized that what Mu Jingyu said before was true. This place was originally built in a certain mountain range. Whether it was the previous Splendid Palace or countless other palaces and houses, they were all moved to the void space according to their original appearance.
It was still Qin Yunchuan. When he looked up as usual, he found the same plaque with the name Jinxiu Palace, but the three words that appeared on it were Lingxiao Pavilion!
