Chapter 1147 Broken Shoes
After leaving Jin Xuanzong, Duan Qing went straight to Xiao'an City.
When we arrived at Xiao'an City, it was just dawn, and the first ray of light from the rising sun shone on the top of Xiao'an Mountain, as if it had been covered with a golden veil.
In the early morning in Xiao'an City, merchants were already running around, but there were not many people and it seemed very deserted.
Duan Qing walked in the city like a stranger, and unknowingly came to the Woniu Inn.
Almost twenty years have passed, and Woniu Inn looks a lot older and run-down, but its antique charm has not diminished, and has actually increased.
At this time, a sturdy young man was removing the old door panel of the inn, preparing to open the door to welcome guests.
Duan Qing couldn't help but be a little stunned when he saw the young man doing the same actions he had repeated countless times.
Seeing Duan Qing standing at the door of the inn, the young man quickly put down the door panel and stepped forward.
"Sir, do you want to stay in a hotel?"
Duan Qing came back to his senses and looked at the young man in front of him.
The young man looked familiar to him, vaguely similar to his older brother Zhang Dasheng.
Duan Qing smiled faintly, shook his head gently, and left slowly without saying a word.
Looking at Duan Qing's back, the young man scratched his head in confusion, as if he couldn't figure out why Duan Qing was standing at the door of the inn, but didn't stay at the inn.
"Qiangzi, why are you so stunned? Come and help mother get water!"
At this time, a middle-aged woman's cry came from the inn.
"Here you go, mother!"
When the young man heard the voice, he immediately looked away from Duan Qing and ran into the inn with flying strides.
Hearing the movement of the young man running behind him, Duan Qing couldn't help but smile knowingly, and his expression became a little more free and easy.
He was really happy for Dasheng when he found out that his family was living a stable and prosperous life.
Although he misses his time at Woniu Inn very much, he is no longer the ignorant boy he was back then.
With Brother Dasheng's family passing on the Woniu Inn, he believed that his parents would also be very happy.
As he walked, Duan Qing came to an imposing mansion in the north of the city.
Looking at the mansion in front of him, Duan Qing suddenly seemed to realize something. He used Bai Mengxing to disappear from the place, and then walked into the mansion as if there was no one else around.
This mansion was owned by Liu Yuanwai, a well-known member of Xiao'an City. I think he and Wu Wen had sneaked in together.
When he walked to the backyard of the mansion, a doghouse in the corner of the woodshed came into Duan Qing's sight.
At this time, there was a newborn black dog lying in the kennel, lying down and soundly asleep.
And in the arms of the little black dog, there was an old cloth shoe that was extremely worn out. It was covered with tooth marks and saliva, as if it had just been ravaged by the little black dog.
Seeing the rag shoes, a scene flashed through Duan Qing's mind subconsciously, and then he smiled helplessly.
He stretched out his hand, took the rag shoes into his hands, and looked at them carefully.
They are really his shoes!
Duan Qing smiled helplessly.
Back then, he and Wu Wen sneaked into Liu's house to watch the fun, but they were discovered by Liu's family's big black dog. When they ran away in a hurry, one of his shoes was taken away by the big black dog.
More than twenty years have passed, and now the big black dog is no longer there. I don’t know what generation the dog and grandchildren are, but I didn’t expect that my shabby shoes are still there!
After staring at the shoes for a long time, Duan Qing sighed softly, put the shoes back into the doghouse, and let the little black dog continue to sleep soundly with the worn shoes in his arms.
No matter how beautiful things in the past are, they are already in the past. Instead of looking back and feeling sorry for yourself, it is better to keep them in your heart and remember them from time to time.
He is about to embark on a new journey. The most important thing for him now is to take every step of the way and cherish the people in front of him.
Next, Duan Qing went to Xiaoan Mountain to pay homage to his parents, and then left quietly without disturbing anyone.
He was already content to go back to Xiao'an City to take a look before leaving the Destiny Star.
…
An hour later, dozens of miles outside Cangzhou City, the capital of Dacang Kingdom.
"Senior Wu, is this really the location of the Little Southern Babel Tower?" Duan Qing looked at the lake that was several miles in size in front of him and said in shock.
"That's right, this is the place. My true body has been sealed as a destiny star for hundreds of thousands of years. How can I not know where the Babel Towers are?"
"The Tower of Babel is the same as the Broken Star Secret Vault. They are both made of Star Yun Mud, but their strength is inferior to the Broken Star Secret Vault."
"However, the Xingyun mud used to build the Tower of Babel is quite special and has the ability to repair itself after shaping."
"Back then, after those people from the Middle Earth destroyed the Babel Tower in the Xiaonan Realm, in order to prevent the Babel Tower in the Xiaonan Realm from repairing itself, they took away the remains of the Babel Tower, leaving only a formation base."
"Now that more than 10,000 years have passed and the sea has changed, the formation foundation of the Xiaonanjie Babel Tower has sunk into the ground. Is there anything strange about it?"
Duan Qing nodded. Over the past 10,000 years, the foundation has settled, which is indeed a normal thing.
He took a deep breath, jumped directly into the lake, and dived to the bottom of the lake.
The bottom of the lake is almost entirely filled with mud, but among the mud, a huge stone can be seen peeking out.
It’s the Babel Monument!
Duan Qing felt happy.
This is indeed the location of the Small South Boundary Tower.
Next, Duan Qing issued two more monuments to the sky.
Based on the positions of the three Babel Monuments, he basically determined the location of the formation base of the Babel Tower and began to clean up the mud.
The location he cleared was chosen at the northeast corner of the Babel Tower formation base.
As far as he knew, the teleportation stone chambers of the Middle-earth Babel Tower were all in the northeast of the Babel Tower, and he believed that the Small South Babel Tower would be no exception.
After some effort, Duan Qing successfully cleared an area of about ten feet in radius.
As he thought, under the mud was indeed the teleportation array of the Babel Tower in the Small South Realm.
However, half of the array patterns of this teleportation array had been damaged, and only a small part was still intact.
Seeing this scene, Duan Qing was not discouraged at all.
As long as the teleportation array was still there, he could completely repair this degree of damage.
Moreover, he had seen this teleportation array many times, and the structure was already familiar to him, and he didn't even need to spend time to deduce the structure of the teleportation array.
Duan Qing didn't delay any longer, and immediately released Xiaohong from the spirit beast ring and began to repair it.
When repairing the large array in the Star Guard Secret Realm, he had deliberately reserved a part of the extra Star Accumulation Stone that was not used, and now it was just right to use it.
With a thought, he showed his true form of the black pot, opened a waterless area at the bottom of the lake, and then took out a Star Accumulation Stone the size of a human head, indicating that Xiaohong could start.
Xiaohong nodded, and a shadow of a lotus flashed between her eyebrows. A dark blue fire lotus instantly appeared, wrapping the Star Essence Stone inside.
Duan Qing saw this and immediately shot out a pure blue fire, which merged with Xiaohong's fire lotus.
The fire lotus that merged with the pure blue fire gradually changed from dark blue to light purple.
As the color of the fire lotus changed, the Star Essence Stone inside the fire lotus gradually began to melt, and after just a few breaths, it turned into a pool of red and yellow liquid.
With the experience of cooperating with the repair of the formation last time, Xiaohong skillfully controlled the fire lotus to fly over the teleportation formation and opened the fire lotus.
Duan Qing used the fire shaping technique to control the Star Essence Stone liquid inside the fire lotus, evenly falling on the damaged part of the teleportation formation, repairing it into a new formation pattern.
