The group of people followed Bai Ling up the mountain. With her leading the way, there were far fewer obstacles on the road. It was obvious that this little girl traveled frequently and was already familiar with the road conditions.

When they reached a cliff halfway up the mountain, everyone looked at Bai Ling. Since she had brought everyone here, she definitely didn't just take a look. There must be some mechanism. After all, the mausoleum was full of mechanisms and there was no reason to go back. There are no traps on the road. If it were so easy to find, wouldn't this place have been known to the world for a long time?

Sure enough, under the expectant eyes of everyone, Bai Ling walked to the side and lifted up a weed on the ground. This weed was ordinary and was not conspicuous at all when mixed with other weeds.

But after Bai Ling lifted it up, some mechanism was touched. Everyone felt their feet begin to vibrate, and then a stone bridge stretched out from under their feet, and gradually extended to the middle, and finally merged into one place.

Seeing this, the little girl showed a proud and proud smile on her face and said:

"This is the secret of my Ji family. Even if outsiders accidentally enter the valley, they will not be able to find the hiding place of our Ji family. Moreover, this mechanism is constantly changing. Even if you know the grass I just found, you can't kill it." Turn on the mechanism, after all, the mechanism will keep changing, only my Ji family knows how to turn on the mechanism."

Everyone nodded clearly. They had no interest in this. It would be great to live outside. Why come to this deep mountain and old forest? It is inconvenient to do anything.

Bai Ling naturally didn't know what they were thinking. In her heart, the place where she grew up was the best place.

For her, as it is for everyone else, her hometown will always be buried deep in her heart.

Bai Ling took the lead and walked onto the stone bridge. Everyone followed her and walked slowly towards the opposite side of the cliff. Unexpectedly, the stone bridge was extremely stable when stepped on. It was not as simple as they thought. Therefore, they could also imagine that this stone bridge was created back then. How powerful the people in the agency must be.

After getting off the stone bridge and walking for almost five minutes, they finally arrived at the Ji's house that Bai Ling had mentioned.

When everyone slowly stepped onto the steps and saw a palace towering in front of them, their eyes all lit up.

This palace looks old and shabby, but when you walk in, it is extremely luxurious. Under the tiny sunlight, it shines with tiny brilliance, and a feeling of sacredness and solemnity arises spontaneously, giving people an indescribable feeling.

When they saw this palace, everyone finally had a deep understanding of the century-old family Bai Ling talked about.

Even though it is hidden deep in the mountains, its simplicity and solemnity cannot be concealed. The solemnity generated by years of accumulation is incomparable to the newly built courtyards outside, not to mention the bricks and tiles, plants and trees inside. , as well as every ornament and every wood carving, are exquisite.

If people outside see it, I don't know how much turmoil it will cause. I think even the wealthy families in the Yan Kingdom are not even one-tenth as wealthy as here.

Everyone entered the palace and found that there was a cave inside, with gardens, rockeries, pavilions, various small houses, and even a huge lotus pond.

Around the lotus pond, there are rows of rockeries with various flowers and plants planted on them.

It is early autumn, and the fragrance of osmanthus lingers around everyone with the breeze. In addition to osmanthus, there are also many seasonal fruit trees.

For example, oranges, persimmons, pomegranates, grapes, and even many chestnuts fell to the ground without anyone picking them up. Everything showed the luxury of the Ji family.

Everyone was amazed, looking at everything in front of them, not knowing how to react.

"Is this, is this the Gabonet Weng who paid tribute from the other countries? Black agate?" When Wei Wu said this, he also deliberately imitated the tone of the envoy when he said this name, which made everyone laugh.

"I don't know what it is. Anyway, our tribe calls it black pearls. They grow too much, and they can't be kept for long after being picked off. Except for young children like us, the tribe doesn't eat much. Every year, black pearls are produced. It fell to the ground and rotted.”

Hearing what she said, everyone looked at Bai Ling with a look of wastefulness.

This is a fruit paid tribute by foreign countries. Except for the emperor and empress in the palace, no one else can eat it even if they want to. Even if the emperor wants to eat it, he can only taste a few of it every year.

The people here are so ignorant that they won't eat such a good thing even if it falls to the ground and rots. If it were them, they would finish it even if they didn't eat.

Everyone walked through the path beside the lotus pond and followed Bai Ling all the way, their voices of surprise never stopping.

Bai Ling led the way and met many tribesmen along the way. When they saw Bai Ling, they all saluted her respectfully.

After seeing Xiaoye's appearance, he stood there blankly, and it was Bai Ling who introduced them: "This is our prince. I will take him to see Uncle Li first, and then I will bring him to see everyone."

Everyone responded hurriedly, Bai Ling nodded to them, and then led everyone to continue walking towards the center of the palace.

"We're here!!" Bai Ling turned around and looked at everyone.

Everyone finally entered the real palace, but there was a different world inside.

The interior of the palace is very elegant, with doors, windows, tables, and chairs all made of sandalwood. They are estimated to be more than a hundred years old. All the decorations, even a painting hanging in the corner, exude a faint fragrance.

This palace seems not as big as the outside, but it has a heavy feeling.

"Follow me to the backyard. Uncle Li is probably in the backyard. He doesn't know we're back so soon."

Bai Ling happily led everyone into the backyard. As soon as everyone entered the backyard, they saw a man in his forties, holding a water ladle to water the vegetables in the field.

He didn't seem to notice the movement here, and was patiently watering the cabbage on the ground. He was more careful than he was when he treated the precious fruit trees in the flower forest just now.

The water ladle he used for watering was actually made of gold. Who knew who had such good craftsmanship to make the gold thin but not sharp, so that it could water water without hurting people's hands.

"Let me go, even the water ladle for watering your house is made of gold. Isn't it enough money to spend all the money?" Wei Qi complained in a low voice.

"Uncle Li, I'm back with the prince." When Bai Ling saw him, he quickly ran over and took his arm.

Uncle Li looked up. When he saw the handsome young man behind Bai Ling, he was stunned for a moment, then his eyes turned red and his voice choked up: "Prince, you are finally back. I have been waiting for you for ten years." After a few years, you finally came back."

"You have been waiting for me for more than ten years? How are you so sure that I will come back?" Ono asked with a frown. The others, like him, didn't understand where the old man started talking.
