Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 359 Nine Palaces in the Divine Capital
  "If you don't do it... Miss Yan Fei actually came up with a good word for me." Gu Xun heard what Yan Fei said and responded with a disapproving smile.

"But doesn't this also represent my actions?" Gu Xun defended himself, "No matter what, I have solved everything that needs to be solved, such as snares, nightfall, or other miscellaneous things..."

"Did you really solve Ye Mu?" Concubine Yan asked, interrupting.

"The leader of the night is still here."

"But there is only one leader left. I don't need to deal with Ji Wuye's fool anymore." Gu Xun raised his hand to emphasize Ye Mu's current situation.

Concubine Yan seemed to think of Han Fei and others. She snorted softly and did not comment on Gu Xun's rebuttal. She just sighed and said:

"Most of the actions you do are meaningless in my eyes, neither to you nor to others."

"I... don't understand what you are doing."

Gu Xun thought about it for a moment, then suddenly smiled and asked:
  "Is it true that people from the Yin Yang family are as purposeful as you?"

Concubine Yan did not answer, but responded with a tit-for-tat question:

"Is it possible that Doctor Gu doesn't have his own purpose in doing things?"

"Of course." Gu Xun spread his hands and replied with a smile, "But my purpose is relatively simple, either to make money or to help friends."

Gu Xunhua simply ignored that he sometimes had to deal with enemies, because his enemies were often caused by the above two actions.

"Making money...friends..." Concubine Yan couldn't help shaking her head with a strange look on her face, muttering to herself.

"What's wrong? Is there any problem?" Gu Xunyi raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile.

Concubine Yan turned her head and glanced at him before replying, "I really don't understand, how did you become so powerful with such thoughts?"

"Miss Yan Fei devotes herself to practicing Yin and Yang. What is the purpose of strengthening herself?" Gu Xun grinned and asked the question without answering.

"..." Concubine Yan did not answer.

Gu Xun guessed and gave an answer, "In order to help Donghuang Taiyi realize his...well, how should I put it...ambition?"

"..." Concubine Yan's pupils couldn't help but shrink.

She was a little unsure about what Gu Xun knew... He always knew some secrets that ordinary people should not know.

"My personal suggestion is not to use your own life to pave the way for other people's ambitions. It's best for people to live their own lives."

After Gu Xun said the last words, Concubine Yan remained calm. He smiled nonchalantly and stopped talking.

The two of them fell into silence again and just walked on.

After passing Baqiao, both sides of the road began to become more and more desolate and lonely. The houses and passers-by were gradually thinning out. Gu Xun and his wife no longer simply walked, but instead used Qinggong to drive. Not long after, they arrived at Lishan Mountain. underfoot.

The ancient mountain peaks were naturally not populated by many people and maintained their most primitive natural features.

Lishan Mountain can also be regarded as a peak, with an altitude of over a thousand meters, but it is not steep, but very beautiful. As far as the eye can see, it is full of lush green pines, and there are also smoke and clouds from high up, making it like a scenic spot on earth. A certain famous emperor of the Zhou Dynasty destroyed the country and divided the east and west weeks on the beacon tower here - by the way, he also died at the foot of Lishan Mountain.

Of course, Gu Xun and his two men were at the southern foot of Mount Li at this time. If they were transferred to the north, it would be much more lively, because there was a large group of people building the royal tomb, Ying Zheng's tomb.

It has been almost ten years since he ascended the throne. It is estimated that he has barely laid the foundation... maybe not yet.

Gu Xun did not rush up the mountain. He stood at the foot of the mountain and looked around, intending to take in the magnificent natural scenery in the mountain. Unfortunately, before he could take a closer look, Concubine Yan walked up on her own.

She has been living here since she was a child and has seen everything there is to see. Besides, she is not someone who has the leisure to appreciate the beautiful scenery.

There was no other way, Gu Xun had no choice but to follow.

The road up the mountain... actually wasn't much of a road. Obviously there weren't enough people walking on it, so they just barely managed to make a small, narrow, twisty dirt road.

After walking a short distance, there was no more broken road. What was left were shrubs and grass densely distributed among the pine forests and green trees. Now, midsummer has just passed and autumn has not yet arrived. It is the time when the vegetation is lush. If there is no suitable Ordinary people will never be able to move on if they don't have the tools.

Gu Xun and Yan Fei are naturally not ordinary people.

Without Lu Zheng and Gu Xun's thoughts, they immediately jumped up, then stepped on the top of the tree with the delicate branches and leaves, and Concubine Yan also flew up the tree top with ease.

Qinggong is also the strength of the Yin Yang family. Concubine Yan's whole body seems to be flying, floating gracefully and comfortably above the dense forest. Her long black hair and gorgeous skirt are floating in the wind, like a fairy coming to the dust.

However, Gu Xun always had some bad taste. He followed behind, like a ghost, and kept flashing unexpectedly on the top of the trees one after another, destroying the atmosphere created by Concubine Yan.

Just like this, the two of them, a fairy swaying and a ghost flashing, walked in a long circle in the mountains before finally arriving at their destination, the headquarters of the Yin Yang family in Lishan and the Nine Palaces of the Divine Capital.

The Nine Palaces of the Divine Capital, as the name suggests, is built around nine palaces. Its core is the central hall - the Divine Capital. Most of the secret forbidden areas of the Yin and Yang family are located here, including the stargazing hall where Donghuang Taiyi lives all year round. The palace is surrounded by eight palaces of the Yin and Yang family: sun, moon, stars, metal, wood, water, fire and earth.

To be honest, when Gu Xun first saw this huge palace complex, he couldn't help but secretly be speechless.

It is actually not difficult to build such a palace complex. Any of the palaces around Xianyang are several times better than this one, but the Nine Palaces of the Divine Capital of the Yin Yang Family are built in a secret place deep in the mountains.

The most important thing is that there are no traces of construction at all, not even a road. How did the craftsmen and servants get here to build it? How are materials transported?

Under these restrictive conditions, the Nine Palaces of the Divine City are set off like a miraculous palace, which makes people feel emotional.

Gu Xun suspected that this palace was probably built a long time ago. After it was built, the Yin Yang family deliberately tried to restore the original appearance of the mountain forest and hide the palace again among the peaks of Lishan Mountain.

It’s definitely a huge project!
  It seems that in order to hide this headquarters, the Yin and Yang family also spent a lot of money!

Of course, it is still far behind the Mo family's government city, which took three hundred years to build.

"I said, don't you think it's troublesome to go over mountains and ridges every day to go home?"

After arriving at the empty square at the entrance of the main hall, Gu Xun turned around and looked around, and asked casually.

"... If we are in trouble, others will be in more trouble." Concubine Yan thought for a moment, then answered the question directly.
