C572 black cat (2/2)
Looking at the things here, he was somewhat disappointed. However, it was only for a moment.
At this moment, she was still more concerned about finding Yue Lao's shrine.
”Naturally, the things left behind by the previous dynasty would not be taken seriously by the Emperor of Yue. The reason why they were left here was probably because the Emperor was afraid of being punished by the heavens.” Mu Ru Yue asked coldly.
However, he had to admit that everything that happened here was extremely shocking.
At this moment, she finally understood why the other party would want to trade at this place. There were many temples here, and even though it was dilapidated, it was impossible for others to find it if they hid within it.
Since the other party was trading here, they could attack and defend. No matter what, he could put himself in a safe place. He had to admit that the other party was indeed a smart person.
Mu Ru Yue thought and couldn't help but sigh. From the looks of it, it was going to be difficult for them.
The temple's location was extremely hard to find. Murong Yue and Ling Xi had walked for nearly an hour on Mount Whitesnow, but they still hadn't found the Moon God Hall. This made Ling Xi a bit anxious.
”Princess, could it be that we've taken the wrong path?” Ling Xi couldn't help but ask as she looked at Murong Yue. When Mu Ru Yue heard that, she was a little stunned. She looked around and shook her head. ”I don't think so. If we went the wrong way, how could that cat appear in front of us?
Furthermore … In my opinion, the other side might be watching us from all around. ”Be patient.” Mu Ru Yue continued to dig at the surrounding grass as she spoke, searching for traces of Yue Lao's shrine.
Although Ling Xi was a little worried that she had chosen the wrong path, she definitely wouldn't disobey Murong Yue's words. Thus, she nodded her head and chose to trust Murong Yue as she continued her search.
”Wangfei, take a look!”
After approximately half an hour of searching, Ling Xi called out to Murong Yue. When Murong Yue heard this, she walked towards her direction and saw a signboard beneath a banyan tree. The signboard was inscribed with the three words' Yue Lao Shrine '.
However, other than the signboard, there was nothing else.
No temples, no idols.
”Esteemed wangfei, your servant will go take a look.” Looking at the idol, Ling Xi gritted her teeth as she spoke first. When Murong Yue heard this, she looked at Ling Xi with some surprise. After pondering for a moment, she nodded and said, ”Alright.”
As she finished speaking, Ling Xi was already walking in the direction of the Yue Lao Shrine's signboard. However, before she could reach the bottom of the signboard, she suddenly saw the ground beneath Ling Xi's feet collapse.
”Be careful!” When Mu Ru Yue saw that Ling Xi was about to fall, she hastily tried to stop her. But in the next second, even the ground beneath her feet had already collapsed. The two of them fell into a huge pit beside Yue Lao's shrine.
The pit was about three meters deep, and Ling Xi and Murong Yue fell into the dry grass at the bottom. Ling Xi was a little flustered. She crawled up from the ground and worriedly asked, ”Esteemed wangfei, are you alright?”
The hole was dark, making it difficult to see the situation clearly.
Mu Ru Yue lit up the fire piston she brought with her.
What entered her eyes was Ling Xi's face, which was full of worry. Murong Yue looked around, then said calmly to Ling Xi, ”It's fine, what about you? Are you hurt? ”
”No, this is a field of hay, and we seem to have fallen on it. Princess, where are we? ” Ling Xi asked in a slightly flustered manner.
Mu Ru Yue got up from the hay and looked at her surroundings. There was a hole as big as a hundred square meters. If she headed forward, it would lead her to a turning point.
It was as if this place had been built.
And it shouldn't be a coincidence that she and Ling Xi fell here. Thinking this way, Murong Yue didn't respond to Ling Xi's question. She walked towards a corner within the cave and turned around. What entered her eyes was a small memorial archway.
There were a few words on the memorial hall: Yue Lao's Ancestral Hall.
These four words made Murong Yue feel a bit more at ease. It seemed that their fall had been planned by the other party. She had deliberately chosen this place.
However, what was surprising was that Yue Lao's shrine was actually underground.
”Princess, should we go in?” At this moment, Ling Xi had already followed over. When she saw the words' Yue Lao's Ancestral Hall ', Ling Xi was stunned. However, it was already dark, and the cave was too strange, causing her to be a little unsure as to whether Murong Yue wanted to follow them in.
