"Old Man Zhu, my time is also precious. The stone tablet you mentioned is written in Qing style. Please show it to me first."

Ye Xiao ignored the doubts of those people and spoke calmly.

"Okay, I have some photos taken at the scene, you can take a look first."

After a while, dozens of large-sized high-definition photos were placed in front of Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao picked up a photo of the text on the stone tablet, looked at it for a while, and read it word for word.

"The inscription says that this is the altar of the God of Fire in the Qing Kingdom. If the children of the royal family of the Qing Kingdom pass the test, they can obtain the inheritance of the God of Fire and inherit the divine fire. Anyone who trespasses without any reason will be reduced to ashes."

"He actually knows Qingti calligraphy? He's not making it up..." Wang Qiang said half a sentence, but was immediately stared back by Mr. Zhu.

"I have already understood most of the meaning of the stone tablet. Although what I said to Mr. Ye is exactly the same, I can never make it as easy as Mr. Ye's." Mr. Zhu said in admiration.

"It seems that you are really capable. I take back what I just said, please don't mind Mr. Ye." Chen Yao's face softened a little and he looked at Ye Xiao and said.

"Master Zhuda, if I heard correctly, the stone tablet says that this ruins is the inheritance place of the King of Qing." Wang Qiang asked, his eyes full of heat.

For the development of a sect, the inheritance place of a sect will definitely leave many treasures to future generations.

As a country's inheritance place, it contains even more treasures, and it is very likely that there will be things at the level of national treasures.

This is a huge achievement.

"I wasn't sure at first, but now that Mr. Ye has said so, it must be so."

Mr. Ye stroked his beard, smiled and nodded.

"That's great. Maybe there will be national treasures like the sun-shooting bow and the sky-splitting halberd..."

"Now that it is certain that there is value for exploration, I will report to the headquarters and apply for permission to explore." Chen Yao said excitedly.

"If you want to enter the ruins, you must take me with you." Ye Xiao said calmly.

Immortal weapon Ye Xiao is not interested, but if there is a technique that is above the heaven level, he doesn't mind taking advantage of it.

"Mr. Ye, we know that you are knowledgeable, but no one knows how dangerous the ruins are. If something happens... you should wait for our news above..." Zhou Sinan shook his head.

, no more going on.

"Just tell him straight, kid. Your cultivation is too weak. We don't have time to care about your life or death when you are in danger." Sun Miaocai said.

"Mr. Ye, I understand your desire to see the ruins of the Qing Dynasty with your own eyes. This ruins may be the key to unlocking the secrets of the Qing Dynasty. However, there are indeed dangers in the ruins, so you still..."

Zhuliu looked at Ye Xiao and said earnestly.

He only thought that Ye Xiao was obsessed with Qing Dynasty archeology, so he insisted on entering the ruins.

"Then what kind of strength do you think can enter the ruins?" Ye Xiao glanced at everyone, pointed at Jin Zhanyi who was standing on the side, and asked, "Can he enter with you with such strength?"

"You, you, what did you accuse me of doing? How did I offend you?" Jin Zhanyi shouted.

Since his last trip to Dragon City, his teacher had punished him severely.

Therefore, when he saw Ye Xiao, he already had some psychological shadow.

"Although the disciples of Master Zhu are not very high in cultivation, at least they have the ability to protect themselves in the late stage of Qi refining. Of course they can." Chen Yao said.

"Okay." Ye Xiao nodded.

Walk to an open area in the tent and punch the ground.

boom

A muffled sound

A fist-sized hole exploded in the ground.

"Release your true energy? This is a strength only found in the foundation building stage."

someone exclaimed.

Everyone's jaws were shocked by Ye Xiao's punch, even Master Zhu was stunned.

How could such an ordinary person with no cultivation be able to hit a blow at the early stage of foundation building?

"No, it should be that dark energy was used to compress the air, causing the effect of beating a cow across a mountain."

Zhou Sinan thought for a moment and explained.

"You actually entered Taoism through martial arts?" Chen Yao was secretly shocked that he had actually made the mistake of looking at a person twice.

If you enter Taoism through martial arts, there will be no fluctuations in true energy, so naturally you will not be able to see the realm.

However, it is very difficult to practice, and at most it can only reach the strength of the foundation building stage, so few monks choose this method.

"Is this strength enough?" Ye Xiao clapped his hands and said lightly.

"I just said that you only need to reach the late stage of Qi Refining. This punch of yours has the strength of the early stage of Foundation Establishment. I keep my word. You can come with us tomorrow." Chen Yao said.

...

Early the next morning

Ye Xiao followed everyone to the entrance of the ruins.

The entrance is more than ten meters underground, and many soldiers with guns and ammunition are patrolling back and forth in front of the entrance.

But it's said to be an entrance, but it's actually just a half-meter-high black hole that can only accommodate one person crawling through. It's so dark inside that you can't tell how deep it is.

"The construction site was digging the foundation at that time, and the sealing soil on the entrance of the cave was accidentally broken. The stone tablet was discovered at that time." Chen Yao explained, bent down, and climbed in neatly.

The light of a flashlight lit up in the black hole.

Everyone followed Chen Yao into the cave and discovered that the cave was actually a space of its own.

There is a road paved with stone slabs on the ground, extending towards the bottom of the cave. On both sides of the road, there are pairs of statues, either prone or kneeling, arranged in a row as the stone road extends into the distance.

It's just that it's so long ago that both the roads and the stone statues are in dilapidated condition.

"The emperor of the Qing Dynasty was so elegant that he even arranged for so many stone figures to kneel on both sides during sacrifices." Sun Miaocai patted the ashes on his body and joked.

"We can't dig more into this hole, we have to crawl in." Wang Qiang complained.

"There are already some damaged ruins at the entrance of this cave. This is a building from more than a thousand years ago. Naturally, the smaller the damage, the better." Elder Zhu explained.

"It's enough to be able to come in. We are all cultivators. Can't we bear this little hardship? Talk less and do more. There is probably a formation here. I will be responsible for exploring the path in front. You should follow me and keep ten meters away from me.

distance." Zhou Sinan glared at them both and said angrily.

"Okay, be careful."

Chen Yao nodded, picked up the searchlight, and illuminated the direction where the stone road extended. It was still dark there.

The four members of the Zhengqi Alliance protected the three people, Zhu Lao, in the middle of the team and walked towards the extension of the stone path.

Everyone walked in the passage for half an hour.

The road still has no end in sight, and the scenery that everyone can see is still the same - depressing caves, and stone statues whose appearance is unclear on both sides.

"Damn it, we've been walking this road for half an hour, why haven't we reached the end yet?"

Sun Miaocai cursed.

The people in the team are all practitioners. They move very fast without stopping. They can walk seven or eight kilometers in half an hour at least.

But the road ahead still looks like there is no end.

Except for Ye Xiao who looked calm, everyone looked a little anxious.

"Captain, are we going in the wrong direction?" Zhou Sinan also realized something was wrong and turned around to ask.

Chen Yao fiddled with the detector in his hand, shook his head helplessly and said:

"The detection instruments have failed here. But there are no forks in the road, and we have marked it along the way, so we should be on the right track."

"Did Master Zhu discover anything?" Wang Qiang asked.

"The Qing Kingdom has existed for a total of twelve years. Logically speaking, there should not be time to build ruins of this scale. What's more, this road is completely built underground, so construction is extremely difficult. Mr. Ye, what do you think?"

"If there is a person in the realm of earthly immortals in Qingguo, it would only take a few hours to build such a ruin. It is not impossible." Ye Xiao said.

Now that the earth's cultivation world has declined, and even the Nascent Soul Stage has become a legendary existence, Zhu Lao and the others naturally cannot imagine the grace of the Earthly Immortal in the Mahayana Stage.

But Ye Xiao had seen it before, the earthly immortals could only think of the mountains and rivers flowing backwards, and the sun and the moon spin in their hands.

"Humph, if there is such an earthly immortal in the Qing Kingdom, will the country be destroyed by others?" Jin Zhanyi asked disdainfully.

"Jin Zhanyi, how many times have I told you not to be impudent in front of Mr. Ye."

Master Zhu looked displeased and scolded.

Jin Zhanyi shrank his neck, not daring to say another word.

"I don't know how the Qing Kingdom was destroyed. But I know that if we continue like this, we may still have to walk dozens of miles," Ye Xiao said.

When the Qing Kingdom fell, Ye Xiao was in seclusion. By the time he came out, it was already the third year since the Liang Dynasty destroyed Qing.

The Liang Dynasty mysteriously destroyed all traces of the Qing Dynasty's existence, and the history books are also vague about the reasons for the Qing Dynasty's demise.

Therefore, Ye Xiao has always had a guess in his mind.

This archeology of the ruins was conducted to verify this speculation.

"Mr. Ye, did you discover something?"

"Not to mention discovery. According to legend, when the leader of the Zoroastrian Cult was still an ordinary person, he walked a hundred miles alone in the desert and impressed the God of Fire with his sincerity. Since this place is the inheritance place of the king, I think this road

Just for testing, right?"

"You mean a trial similar to the mental training?" Zhou Sinan said.

In order to test the mind of the disciples, many sects set up many difficulties and obstacles on the road leading to the sect, which is called the road of refining the mind.

Ordinary people who want to find immortality, the first test they have to go through is this path of mental refining.

"Yes, the stone walls here are made of moonstone, which can absorb light, so the light cannot reach far away. The stone statues are made of volcanic rock, which can absorb sound." Ye Xiao patted the stone statues on the roadside and said slowly.
