It is not appropriate to say that the Imperial Palace is located in the palace. To be precise, it is built on the back hill behind the palace.

The closer you get to the main entrance of the Imperial Master's Palace, the quieter it becomes. The palace residents and the imperial guards subconsciously avoid this place.

The thick red painted door opened and the carriage stepped inside.

Contrary to what little Zhenshan imagined, the Guoshi Palace is not a luxurious and solemn palace. Instead, there is a bamboo forest behind the gate. Walking along the path in the middle, it seems that you have separated from the beautiful and prosperous world and arrived at a secluded peach garden.

In the valley.

The mountains and rivers are beautiful, the vegetation is sparse, and after three years of travel, little Zhenshan also followed Yan Chu to the territory of the secluded ethnic group in the mountains, but nowhere is it as beautiful and mysterious as here, and it is so peaceful that it feels like being in a fairyland.

"My lord is back."

A young man in white uniform jumped out of the bamboo forest nimbly. When he saw Yan Chu, his handsome face was filled with joy, and his happy voice echoed in the bamboo forest.

"Aman, didn't I teach you not to be so fussy all the time?"

I saw a group of people in white clothes appearing in the originally peaceful bamboo forest. The eight people led by them were all white-haired old men. However, they did not look as lifeless as the old men. Instead, they were bright and energetic, with a pair of eyes that were completely calm.

But that wasn't what shocked little Zhenshan the most. She was even more surprised that these people appeared almost out of thin air.

The Guoshi Palace is indeed mysterious!

People in white clothes saluted Yan Chu one after another, "Sir."

Yan Chu nodded lightly and asked Xiao Zhenshan to step forward, "She is my disciple."

The young man in white looked at little Zhenshan with curiosity and surprise, but the eight old men were not surprised. They just looked at her with a sigh and helpless guilt in their eyes.

When Xiao Zhenshan went to investigate further, they returned to normal and just bowed to her, "I have met my little master."

The eight old men should also have high prestige in the Imperial Master's Palace. As soon as they saluted, the people in white clothes behind them followed to pay their respects to her.

Little Zhenshan looked at his master, but it was really impossible to see any expression on his indifferent master.

However, his silence is usually the default.

Xiao Zhenshan raised a just right smile and returned the greeting in a neither humble nor condescending manner, "You don't need to be polite."

The eight old men showed loving and friendly smiles to her, "Sir, little master, you are tired from traveling and traveling, please go back to your clan to rest."

"Um."

Surrounded by a group of people in fluttering white clothes, Yan Chu took little Zhenshan and walked inside.

Only then did she realize that the dense bamboo forests here were not simple. Each place could be changed at will to form a formation. If she made a mistake, she might fall into various killing formations.

Yan Chu also taught her Qimen Dunjia, but with her current strength, she was still unable to truly crack the formation of the National Master Palace, so she could only follow his footsteps.

It’s also sad that in the past thousands of years, countless people have wanted to explore the Imperial Master’s Palace, but no one has ever actually stepped into it.

Just with the formation outside, no one can get in.

Walking through the bamboo forest, it suddenly dawned on me that there were many bamboo houses. Compared to the mystery outside, there was more of a fireworks atmosphere here.

It's just that the people here are all dressed in white, but no one is insignificant, giving people a very simple and peaceful feeling.

At least little Zhenshan didn't feel any malice from them.

Everyone was very happy to see Yan Chu and saluted and said hello.

But they seemed to be in awe and didn't dare to get too close to him.

Yan Chu nodded towards them, pointed to a woman, and asked her to take Nanny Yu to settle down.

Aunt Yu looked at her young lady, and Xiao Zhenshan gave her a reassuring look, telling her to rest and not worry about herself.

Grandma was in awe of this mysterious Imperial Master's Palace and did not dare to say anything, so she left with the woman.

Yanchu didn't stay long, passed through the bamboo house in front and entered the cave in the back.

It is better to say that it is a cave than a tunnel. There are paintings carved on the walls and lights are burning. It is extremely quiet. There is almost no other sound except for the footsteps of little Zhenshan.

If she hadn't been able to see the master walking in front of her, she would have been really frightened.

The tunnel is not long. It leads out to an iron cable bridge that connects to the cave on the opposite side. The middle is filled with white mist and the temperature is very low. A layer of ice forms on the walking bridge. What is strange is that the iron cable remains dark and has not condensed at all.

ice crystals.

This Imperial Master's Palace is really filled with a mysterious atmosphere everywhere.

Yan Chu raised his feet and stepped onto the iron cable bridge. The ice on the bridge cracked instantly and fell down in the blink of an eye. The entire bridge became empty, and it seemed as if he would fall into the abyss.

Xiao Zhenshan's expression changed drastically, and she reached out to hold him, "Master!"

However, the scene she imagined of the two falling directly did not happen. In just one breath, the bridge surface formed another layer of ice that could be walked on.

But her movement was too big, and she threw herself forward.

Yanchu held her waist and held her steady.

Little Zhenshan was shocked and undecided. She opened her clear phoenix eyes and looked at him blankly, "Master, Master."

Yan Chu didn't say the words he wanted to scold her for being "reckless". He just shook his head lightly and walked forward.

Little Zhenshan blinked, looked at the ice under her feet, then looked at the bottomless abyss, shuddered, and followed her master.

Compared to the previous cave, which was just a tunnel, the back of the cave here is a small building.

The small building is built against the mountain wall. In the front is a courtyard with lush flowers and plants. There are several elegant small houses in the back. Surrounded by clouds and mist in the mountains, the plain gauze curtains are light and quiet. It is quiet and mysterious, just like a fairyland, but it is too quiet.

However, when Xiao Zhenshan looked at his master, it was indeed his style.

Master said that if it sounds good, it means being unconventional and otherworldly. If it sounds bad, it means that you are a homebody, a dead homebody!

"Just choose a room you like to live in."

Yanchu said to Xiao Zhenshan.

Xiao Zhenshan nodded.

He added: "Go and rest first."

"Okay, Master."

Xiao Zhenshan looked at the eight old people coming behind him, but they were standing next to the chain bridge and did not dare to step forward.

Yan Chu turned to them and said, "Follow me."

"Yes, sir."
