C168 Kunlun Ruins
C168 Kunlun Ruins
Here, the sky was blue, and the temperature was pleasant. The lawn and shrubs complemented each other, and not far away, there was a swan swimming in the lake. The entire environment was at least ten times better than Qin Family Manor.
The people of the outside world probably wouldn't have imagined that there would be such a paradise, a land that was covered in snow all year round, in the middle of the cold mountains.
The car continued forward, and finally stopped in front of a castle that had its back against the cliff.
The dark brown ancient castle seemed to have an ancient and unadorned aura, as if it was formed from nature along with the mountain cliffs that reached straight into the clouds.
At the entrance of the castle, two elderly men dressed in dark gray robes led two hundred men to stand by the side.
The two old men had hair as white as snow, but were in high spirits, and their waists were perfectly straight. They were the two main stewards of Kunlun Ruins, the thin one was called Hee Tu, and the fat one was called Luo Shu.
After the car stopped, the driver quickly opened the door and stood aside respectfully. Shen Lang carried Qin Mingyue and got off the car. The two old men were the first to bow and shout, "Welcome, High Lord!"
Behind them, over two hundred people also bowed and shouted at the same time: "Welcome, High Lord!"
Shen Lang scanned the crowd and said with mixed feelings, "It's really been a long time since I came back …"
He lowered his head and looked at the sleeping Qin Mingyue in his arms. "Look, my wife, this is my home. This is the place where I was born and raised."
Hee Tu and Luo Shu walked a few steps forward and stood in front of Shen Lang. Hee Tu said, "High Lord, we have prepared a stretcher and asked someone to send Lady High Lord to the bedroom to rest. Old Man Luo and I will personally check on Lady High Lord's situation. "
"No, I'll carry her."
"Yes, High Lord."
"Everyone else can leave."
"Okay, High Lord."
Shen Lang carried Qin Mingyue into the ancient castle. The inside of the ancient castle exuded a grand and vicissitudes of life. The marks left by the wind on the walls showed that this building had existed for an extremely long time.
Unlike the luxurious manors and castles, there were almost no ornaments on the sides. Although it was rather lonely, there was a solemn and quiet atmosphere to it.
In the hall of the castle, there were two long circular staircase leading to the upper level. In the middle of the circular staircase, there was a huge window facing the entrance of the hall.
Under the ancient exterior of the castle, all kinds of modern equipment could be seen. However, these equipment were all perfectly hidden in every corner, and didn't have the slightest bit of incompatibility with the overall style.
They passed through the hall, the butler pressed the elevator for Shen Lang, and a door opened silently in front of Shen Lang.
They got on the elevator and walked through a long corridor. The room to the east was Shen Lang's room.
The grand Kunlun Ruins room didn't look luxurious at all. It was about a hundred square meters, with a bedroom, a cloakroom, and a bathroom. It also had a large study with a circular balcony.
The furniture inside was all made of wood, but the wood had a jade-like texture. Not only was it impervious to water and fire, but it also emitted a faint fragrance. These were all made from a type of ancient wood that was thousands of years old, unique to the Kunlun Mountains.
Shen Lang placed Qin Mingyue gently on the bed and ordered Hee Tu and Luo Shu to check on Qin Mingyue's condition.
The two Chief Stewards stood next to Qin Mingyue and stretched out their right hands, a golden light slowly spiraling out from their palms and entering into Qin Mingyue's forehead.
"How is it?" Shen Lang asked.
Hee Tu glanced at each other and withdrew the golden light. The pair of hands clasped together. Hee Tu said, "Lady High Lord's situation is very special. However, you can rest assured that Lady High Lord will not be in any danger." I hope that High Lord will be patient and wait for me. Old Man Luo and I will study it carefully and we will definitely wake up Lady High Lord. "
Shen Lang narrowed his eyes slightly: "Did you guys find out why she fainted?"
"I don't know yet."
"Mm, you guys can leave first."
"Yes, High Lord."
When the two of them turned around, Shen Lang looked at the sleeping Qin Mingyue and frowned. He didn't know if he was thinking too much, but he felt that the two old men were hiding something.
Shen Lang turned around and looked at Hee Tu's leaving figure. He suddenly said, "I want to have a meal with grandpa tonight. You guys can make the arrangements."
Hee Tu was stunned for half a second before he turned around, "High Lord, you forgot, Old High Lord is still in closed door cultivation."
"Oh …" "Right, look at my memory. It's fine now."
Shen Lang was trying to test Ye Zichen on purpose, but Hee Tu didn't seem to have any flaws.
After accompanying Qin Mingyue in the room for a while, Shen Lang walked into the study, opened a door beside the bookshelf and walked in.
This was a passage, which led to the peak of the mountain behind the castle.
The top of the mountain was covered in snow all year round. Shen Lang's figure appeared behind an unremarkable boulder in the cold wind.
Shen Lang, who was wearing only thin clothes, slowly walked forward. Step by step, he walked leisurely around the freezing temperature of -30 degrees Celsius.
Previously, his favorite thing was to come here alone and gaze at the boundless snow-covered mountains. The majesty of the Kunlun Mountains was beyond the imagination of many people. No one had ever seen such a wondrous sight in their entire lives, but this was the scenery Shen Lang had witnessed since he was young.
"Woosh ~ ~ ~"
The sound of water flowing was heard amidst the cold wind. Shen Lang continued moving forward and finally arrived beside a mysterious giant lake.
On top of the snowy mountain, there was actually a lake that stretched as far as the eye could see. The temperature of -30 degrees Celsius did not freeze the lake.
About ten meters away from Shen Lang, the surface of the lake was covered with layers of water.
All of a sudden, a white fish no less than five meters long leapt out of the water. Before it could land back on the water, another huge orange figure emerged from below.
Shen Lang was slightly surprised. He realized that this orange coloured monster seemed to be... Taotie!
"Aooouuu ~ ~ ~"
The Taotie released a thunderous roar, opened its mouth and bit the fish into two. With a twist of its neck, it swallowed all of them in the blink of an eye.
"Little mischievous brat!"
Shen Lang shouted.
Amidst the splashes of water, the Taotie's red eyes that were bigger than a truck tire revealed a hint of surprise. Its hill-sized body quickly submerged into the water.
Just as the lake was about to return to its calm state, the water on the shore exploded like a bomb. Accompanied by a deafening sound, the Taotie jumped out once again!
Bringing with it the overwhelming lake water and the terrifying force of impact, it pounced towards Shen Lang.
