Xiao Qianye landed far away. From his angle, he could see the outline of the city. The afterglow of the setting sun reflected it from far to near. Although most of the city walls had collapsed, judging from the remaining ruins, there should have been a majestic building there.

In the majestic big city, the refugees, with their eyes blank and skinny, gathered together in small groups and cooked gruel in old iron pots. Smoke rose from the barren land, and hundreds of people lowered their heads like zombies.

While drinking porridge, there was only the sound of swallowing food in the whole wasteland, which was particularly lonely.

"Qianye, why don't you let me out first? You don't know how to strike up a conversation, so you won't be able to ask me anything." Yun Xiao called him in a low voice, and Xiao Qianye came back to his senses. He rubbed something strangely.

Rubbing the center of his brows, he felt that the gust of wind just now seemed to have knocked him into a trance. Yun Xiao could not see his current expression, so she patted her chest and assured, "Looking at the surrounding environment, it should be plains and cities. Jiuyi Mountain is probably not there."

In this direction, since we are here, we should inquire about the situation first."

"Yeah." Xiao Qianye could only agree. After all, he was really not good at dealing with strangers. The two of them walked to the refugee tent together. They were obviously out of place dressed like this, but they just glanced at it listlessly and waved away.

, "I don't have any extra porridge to share with you. Let's go quickly."

Yun Xiao quickly took out a piece of silver from her arms and gave it to him, pleading angrily: "Brother, we are travelers who accidentally fell here. We walked along the way for a long time before we saw the smoke from the cooking stove. Can you give me this little money?"

Take it first, and then divide it between two bowls of porridge between us, okay?"

"Huh, you can't buy food with money here, go away." The refugee pushed her away unceremoniously, not even bothering to look at the money in her hand. Yun Xiao secretly looked around, but he didn't give in.

She moved closer to an old woman next to her. She took off her coat and put it on the old man's body. She put her hands together in a pitiful manner and continued to beg, "Old man, the temperature will drop when it gets dark soon. You can take this clothes. Can you?"

Can't you share two bowls of porridge between us?"

In this time of hunger and cold, the old man really pulled his clothes and wrapped them around his weak body. He looked them up and down, and sighed with a soft heart: "Ad, give them some."

"Mom..." Although the young man named Ade looked unhappy, he reluctantly agreed because of the thick coat. Yun Xiao took advantage of the situation and pulled Xiao Qianye to sit down beside the iron pot. She looked at

As the sun set over the city wall, I asked curiously, "Old man, where is that place? Although it looks dilapidated, it is so spectacular. It should be a very big city, right?"

"Are you two travelers from other drifting islands?" The old woman's eyes reflected the glorious sunset. She put down the bowl in her hand and turned to the city not far away with her, murmuring, "That was still the imperial city two years ago.

It's called Qindu, but if you come here for fun, don't go into the city. Don't look at the tattered city walls. You can still see the houses and streets at a glance. There are so many evil things in there that you can't get out if you go in. We used to

There are outstanding people, beautiful mountains and clear waters, but now the souls of the dead are disturbed and chickens and dogs are restless everywhere. I advise you to leave early and go somewhere else to play."

"Dead soul?" He immediately heard the most critical word from the words. Yun Xiao feigned fear and moved closer to Xiao Qianye, then curiously asked, "Old man, we heard about this place before we went out to play.

There is Mount Jiuyi, and there is a blue sea at the foot of the mountain. In fact, according to the legend of my hometown, a respected emperor is buried in Mount Jiuyi. It is so coincidental that they have the same name, so we came here out of curiosity.

It opened my eyes. I didn’t expect that I lost my way along the way and ended up here out of nowhere. What do you mean by ‘dead souls’? Could it be that they escaped from the imperial mausoleum?”

As soon as she finished speaking, she felt that several people around her showed panic expressions at the same time. The old man quickly made a hissing gesture to her, carefully looked around the homeless stalls nearby, and after a long time, he continued, "What are you doing?"

I don’t know the legend, but the Cangwu Sea in our Jiuyi Mountain is indeed an imperial mausoleum, and buried inside it is the founding emperor of Qin.”

"The imperial mausoleum was built on the seabed?" Yun Xiao asked in confusion, and the old woman nodded, "Now that place has been completely submerged, but it is said that when the imperial mausoleum was built, the seawater separated to the left and right to expose the seabed.

Emperor Qin ordered skilled craftsmen to design it carefully, and it took decades to finally complete it."

Yun Xiao was confused after hearing this, and more doubts kept popping up: "How can the sea water separate from left to right?"

The old woman laughed and showed a little awe: "You don't know this, right? It is said that in ancient times, a black dragon fell from the sky, and it was it that broke open the Cangwu Sea, causing the sea water to separate from left to right, so Emperor Qin regarded it as

It is the place of destiny, so I will build my own mausoleum there at no cost to bless the people of the world."

"Black dragon...did that black dragon really protect Emperor Qin's people?" Yun Xiao grabbed Xiao Qianye's arm and was shocked. The old woman didn't notice the strange look on her face, but snorted disdainfully.

, "Emperor Qin himself was an enlightened monarch, so the people were willing to take risks to build a mausoleum for him on the seabed. However, his descendants were inferior to each other from generation to generation. Just five or six years ago, a rebel uprising overthrew the last Emperor Qin.

His rule, well, after more than a thousand years of rule, the country has finally changed its dynasty."

Yun Xiao swallowed nervously. Even in the most chaotic years of the war in the Central Plains, openly talking about the four words "changing dynasties" was a taboo among taboos, but the old woman talked without changing her expression and said: "

Before the rebels reached the capital of Qin, the Prime Minister of Qin mysteriously disappeared. Unfortunately, the various rebels against the king were not easy to do. They fought among themselves for several years, causing the entire country to live in dire straits. They finally won the victory.

Unfortunately, the throne was bloodbathed by Xin Mo even before he was in power. Since then, the imperial city has become a dead city with no way in or out. It is rumored that the dead souls who guarded Emperor Qin in the imperial mausoleum really came out to take revenge."

The two exchanged glances tacitly, and naturally knew that the Xinmo tribe mentioned by the old woman was Jinhe. Yun Xiao thought of the mysterious living dead around Tang Xian, and couldn't help but feel a chill in her back and asked: "

Old man, I heard that the imperial mausoleum was stolen by a man named Tang Xian, and the souls of the dead...were they released by him?"

"Stolen?" The old woman stared at the two people in surprise. She had no knowledge of the matter and retorted without thinking, "What nonsense are you talking about! The imperial mausoleum is guarded by the power of the black dragon. Let alone robbing the tomb, he will definitely continue to do it."

You can't even enter the Cangwu Sea, it's impossible, absolutely impossible."

Seeing that she was so confident in her words, the two of them wisely did not argue with the old woman on this topic. After nightfall, Ade helped her back to the tent to rest, while he drove her away with disgust: "You guys should go quickly, don't say that you are the emperor now."

The whole city and the entire island are filled with mourners, I don’t have time to play with you, just go back to where you came from.”

Yun Xiao was ready to find an excuse to run away. Since they took the initiative to issue an eviction order, she neatly pulled Xiao Qianye away. The two of them came to the broken city wall along the way. Although there was moonlight tonight, the city was still dark.

The sky above seemed to be shrouded in a thick fog, and the light was sucked into it and no light could shine through. Xiao Qianye pulled her vigilantly and reminded her in a low voice: "The last emperor disappeared only five or six years ago, and Tang Xian also happened to be around this time.

Duan stole the imperial mausoleum under the Cangwu Sea, there must be something involved."

Yun Xiao thought about the old woman's words and stared at the dark street ahead. Even if the fire was not in her body, she could feel a strong evil spirit coming towards her face. She frowned and said: "Jinhe should be Tang Dynasty."

Did Xian invite him? Tang Xian is the master of the giant turtles in Shanhaiji, and he started out as a tomb robber. He does have the capital to invite a pure-blooded Xin Mo. However, although Xin Mo is strong, his behavior is simple and violent, and he will not

It must be Tang Xian's fault that turned the imperial city into such a gloomy and weird look. Come on, go in and have a look."

"Be careful." Xiao Qianye pulled her into the city. The imperial capital, which had been abandoned for two years, was destroyed by Xinmo. The streets were full of various debris left after the bloodbath. Xiao Qianye picked up a piece of armor and held it casually.

In his hand, he couldn't help but be shocked, "This is a very rare material in the army. It is light, compact and very strong and durable. However, it is expensive and complicated to forge. It is usually only used by the elite troops in charge of the imperial city. This thing can be resisted by swords and guns."

, to be torn into pieces with bare hands, truly worthy of being a frightened Xinmo tribe."

Yun Xiao sighed and continued: "I only knew that Xin Mo was very strong before, but I had no idea how strong he was. Until that day in Luozhou Bay, Zhong Lan was able to stop hundreds of half-dogs by himself.

The orcs can also make the surrounding sea beasts afraid to make trouble. Jinhe's strength is already on par with Zhonglan, but his personality is more extreme and dangerous. If he accepts Tang Xian's commission, he can destroy it all by himself.

It is entirely possible to build a city. Even if the human army has strong armor, it will be difficult to resist the Xinmo tribe who are born with divine power."

"The Xinmo tribe is actually not short of money." Xiao Qianye threw away the piece of armor, looked solemnly at the dilapidated ruins in front of him, and said seriously, "Even if they don't take over Shanhaiji's business, they can just do it on the black market.

Robbing a few unlucky people is enough to live a lifetime of debauchery. Most of the Xinmo people only take action when they become interested in something. For a person with Jinhe's personality, if Tang Xian just gave him a sky-high reward, I would

I don’t think he will be moved. Even if you add a ten-thousand-year dragon blood bead, it will be too poisonous for him to use at all."

Yun Xiao stopped and suddenly felt a chill, as if some strange eyes were staring at the two of them. She carefully took Xiao Qianye's wrist and blurted out: "You mean there is something here that aroused his interest?"

s things?"

"Let's look around first." Xiao Qianye couldn't explain it for a moment. She swallowed nervously and whispered, "Qianye, do you feel like something is following us?"

"Yes." Xiao Qianye cautiously held her hand with one hand and quietly held the bone sword with the other. The two continued to walk forward and came to the entrance of a bank. Although it was night, Yun Xiao could see the scattered things inside at a glance.

There were jewelry all over the floor. She stopped, rolled her eyes, took a deep breath, clapped her hands happily, and winked at him, "There's no one there anyway, so take some treasures and sell them back for money!"

"Okay." Xiao Qianye replied calmly and followed her into the bank. Just when Yun Xiao reached out to pick up the huge night pearl that fell on the ground, a gust of cold wind blew across their cheeks, and the darkness

A sharp sword light burst out from it!

He immediately swung his sword to fight back. Yun Xiao also noticed the source of the sword light at this moment, and said in surprise: "It's so far away, at least several thousand meters away. Who is so powerful?"

"Let's go!" Xiao Qianye shouted in a low voice. The two of them jumped out of the bank and looked at the faint light left by the sword light - the place was filled with smoke, and the afterimage of the palace could be vaguely seen. Someone didn't know who made a sarcastic sneer.

, a contemptuous warning, "You little thief who knows nothing about life and death, now that you are here, stay and be my death warrior!"
