Song Qiuyue is not dead?

Common sense infers that this is impossible!

But this place cannot be measured by common sense... Xiao Beichen is not too stubborn.

After all, the Great Elder only saw Song Qiuyue’s eyes being removed and her body burned...

Burning does not mean death!

Thinking of this, Xiao Beichen was full of expectations.

If Song Qiuyue was still here... Xiao Beichen would have countless questions that could be answered.

You can even join forces with her to...leave this birdy place?

Bai Yuege saw Xiao Beichen's face flushed with excitement and slapped him on the head: "What are you thinking? Song Qiuyue... must be dead."

Xiao Beichen: "Should? What do you mean?"

Bai Yuege: "Song Qiuyue was burned, and her body was sealed in a container. It remained the same as it was more than ten years ago. The container blocked the entry of my power. I can't tell, but from the visual point of view, he should be dead. ”

Eh!

Xiao Beichen sighed.

Very disappointed.

"Others, what else did you find?"

After asking this question, Xiao Beichen was filled with expectations again.

Bai Yuege: "There is a big secret room in this palace. Every time the woman in red drinks your blood, she goes to the secret room. I don't know what is going on in it. Maybe all the secrets are in that secret room."

Xiao Beichen was full of expectations: "What's in the secret room?"

Bai Yuege shook his head: "I can't get in."

Xiao Beichen was completely speechless: "Doesn't that mean you didn't say anything... You've been out walking for five days. You didn't even find a hammer."

Bai Yuege: "How could it be?"

Xiao Beichen once again raised a ray of hope: "Then what else did you find?"

Bai Yuege: "I went around the palace and toured the entire castle. This castle is really big! It can accommodate a hundred thousand soldiers. There are also other powerful pottery figurines. If I guessed correctly, This should be a certain royal city built a hundred years ago. It just appeared here somehow."

Xiao Beichen lost interest: "Are there any other living people in the castle?"

Bai Yuege: "No. Just the woman in red."

Eh!

This woman...it's a shame that I kept waiting for her to send the crucial information. I don’t want to go out for fun anymore…

Excessive!

At this time, Bai Yuege said: "However, I discovered a shocking secret. Xiao Beichen, do you want to know?"

Xiao Beichen was lying on the bed, not interested at all: "I like to talk, but I don't want to talk."

Bai Yuege was stunned and looked at Xiao Beichen: "You seem to be angry?"

snort!

Xiao Beichen snorted and said unceremoniously: "I have been sucking my blood here for five days, waiting for you to come back with valid information. But you went to play...you failed me."

Baiyue Singer was dumbfounded.

Want to go crazy.

hold back.

"I asked you not to eat that apple at first, but you insisted on eating it. Later, when you were dragged in by the woman in red, you actually dragged me in too."

"Who failed whom?"

Xiao Beichen was stunned.

That seems to be the case...

"Then, we're even." Xiao Beichen said, "Tell me what shocking secret you discovered."

Bai Yuege then said: "Do you still remember the [-] majestic pottery figurines on the castle training ground when you came in?"

Xiao Beichen: "Of course I remember. It was the strongest warrior army I have ever seen, bar none. It's a pity...it should be pottery figurines, right?"

Bai Yuege said: "It's not a pottery figurine, it's a human. I don't know why, but it suddenly died."

what?

Really people?

Xiao Beichen became more and more surprised: "What else?"

Bai Yuege said: "In addition, I found that all the other people in the castle had become statues. Including the surrounding beasts. The most terrifying thing is that there is a gladiatorial arena in the castle. Tens of thousands of spectators gathered inside, and there were still people on the duel stage. There were two extremely powerful masters dueling. They both turned into statues."

"Their movements all maintain a posture of attack and letting go. The movements of tens of thousands of spectators are all relaxed, and some are eating... You know what this means, right?"

Xiao Beichen was a little horrified: "I know. It means a disaster from heaven. Everyone in the castle, without any reaction... suddenly turned into a statue. No one reacted."

Bai Yuege nodded heavily: "Yes, this is the most outrageous! There are many martial arts masters gathered in the arena. The two gladiators on the duel stage are both strong men who have transcended the holy realm. In the end, they didn't do anything He reacted and became a statue in an instant.”

At the end of the sentence, Bai Yuege's voice was a little hoarse.

A strong man in the Holy Realm turned into a stone sculpture without any reaction?

This……

Too scary!

Xiao Beichen didn't even dare to think about it.

After a long time, Xiao Beichen finally came to his senses: "What are your assumptions?"

Bai Yuege said: "God's punishment!"

Xiao Beichen was no longer calm: "Are you saying that the entire castle has been punished by God?"

Bai Yuege said: "Song Qiuyue should have discovered the secret of this castle and then inquired about the secret. He was punished by heaven. As for what happened to this castle... I don't know. But, I guess that the woman in red Should be a survivor.”

Xiao Beichen's expression was solemn: "That's reasonable. It's just that... everyone in the castle suffered a disaster from heaven, how could she survive?"

Bai Yuege shook his head: "I don't know about that. In short, this woman in red is going to unlock the key to all the secrets. It all depends on you. I'm very weak, so I went to sleep."

After saying that, Bai Yuege returned to Najie and went straight to bed.

No matter how much Xiao Beichen called, there was no response.

Your uncle...

Such a dangerous thing depends on me alone?

Is there any humanity left?

Xiao Beichen had no choice but to endure it.

The days that followed were no different from before.

day to day.

He sucked blood sixty times.

Almost a month.

Logically speaking, Xiao Beichen should be getting weaker and weaker.

However, it does not.

Every time the red tomato fruit is delivered, the effect is amazing.

Xiao Beichen is getting stronger and stronger.

With such strength, he has actually entered the five-star peak Taoist realm!

This is an incredible achievement!

The Golden Elephant Holy Body of the Body Refining Technique has also reached a level close to its peak. The progress in soul refining is also amazing.

This woman...seems to be pretty good to me?

But the problem is, the woman in red doesn't speak.

Every time Xiao Beichen asked a lot of questions, she turned a blind eye and turned a deaf ear.

This is very disturbing.

Is it possible that you still plan to lock me up for the rest of my life?

This doesn't work!

On this day, the woman in red was about to leave after sucking blood.

Swish!

Xiao Beichen grabbed her hand.

Hold on tight!

"Don't go!"

The woman in red turned back and stared at Xiao Beichen.

A pair of navy blue pupils seemed to see through Xiao Beichen's soul.

It was obvious that she was angry.

Xiao Beichen has had enough and can no longer control so much: "I know, you can understand what I say. Let me ask you, how long do you plan to lock me up?"

The woman in red looked at Xiao Beichen quietly.

Neither speak.

Xiao Beichen: "Speak!"

The woman in red still didn't speak.

Engage in mentality.

Xiao Beichen said: "If you keep making me unhappy, I won't make you happy either. I know you are very good. I can't defeat you here, and I can't win over you. But I don't live anymore. OK?"

"What's the point of living if you do this to me?"

"You're scolding me, I'm not going to live anymore. Let's see how you suck my blood then!"

After spending this time together, Xiao Beichen finally discovered...the only thing this woman cares about is her own blood.

Sure enough, the woman in red spoke for the first time.

His voice was hoarse and low: "Don't think like that."

I am Cao! ! ! !

She spoke.

Finally spoke up.

gosh...

Xiao Beichen was so excited that he couldn't describe it.

calm down!

Must be calm!

This just proves a truth - she is afraid that she will not be able to absorb Xiao Beichen's blood!

This is her only weakness.

it is good!

Xiao Beichen started to bite his nose and face: "It's all because of you."

"I can't live anymore! I can't live anymore!"

Just ask if you are afraid...

The woman in red is scared.

She frowned: "What do you want?"

Xiao Beichen tried his best: "Untie the shackles on me first."

really……

She unlocked Xiao Beichen's shackles.

call!

Xiao Beichen immediately jumped up from the bed, ran a few steps to the ground, and stretched.

comfortable!

It's been a month and I can finally move.

It feels so good to feel free again.

The woman in red said expressionlessly: "Is it okay now?"

"No! This is far from enough!" How could Xiao Beichen give up so easily?

It's hard to find the weakness of the woman in red... It's so hard to make the lion open his mouth.

He held out three fingers: "First, you can't control me. You must allow me to have unimpeded access in the castle."

Woman in red: "Yes. But you can't enter my secret room."

Xiao Beichen: "That won't work, I have to go to the secret room too..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw the navy blue eyes of the woman in red looking cannibalistic.

very scary!

Bear it for a while!

Xiao Beichen said: "Okay, I won't go to the secret room."

The woman in red nodded: "Okay. Are there any other conditions?"

Xiao Beichen said: "I haven't thought about it yet. I'll tell you when I think about it."

This is actually quite excessive...

But the woman in red still agreed: "Yes."

After saying that, the woman in red left.

Xiao Beichen clenched his fists!

Cool batch!

After holding it in for a month, I finally found some sense of being a human being...

Without any restrictions, Xiao Beichen immediately went out for a walk.

I didn't take a closer look before, but now after wandering around I realized that this castle is really big!

To be precise, this is not a castle.

But a city-state!

An independent city-state built on a large mountain.

The vertical and horizontal diameter exceeds hundreds of miles.

At the foot of the mountain is a vast moat.

Countless buildings were built along the way.

On the top of the mountain is the royal palace.

Standing in the open area of ​​the palace, you can see the entire mountain.

The weather is amazing!

It is comparable to the Empress Palace in Northern Liang.

Stroll all the way down from the top of the mountain.

Sure enough, it was the same as Bai Yuege said before.

Countless people around him have become stone sculptures.

There are at least hundreds of thousands, or even millions, of people living in this city-state.

All of them turned into stone sculptures.

Time seems to be frozen in the last moment of their lives.

There are two places that attracted Xiao Beichen's attention.

One is the training ground at the foot of the mountain.

One hundred thousand soldiers gathered in the square and turned into stone sculptures without any reaction.

The other place is the arena halfway up the mountain.

In the huge Colosseum, every seat was filled with people, all turned into stone sculptures.

As the years passed, Xiao Beichen seemed to be able to feel the bustle of people at that time.

Unexpectedly, they all turned into stone sculptures.

After spending a long time, Xiao Beichen had a rough understanding of the castle.

This should be the royal city of an empire or a vassal state.

Moreover, the martial arts here have reached an extremely peak level.

Later, I don’t know what happened... The people here instantly turned into stone sculptures.

How pitiful.

For a moment, Xiao Beichen was so shocked by the vicissitudes of history of this city-state that he didn't want to leave.

After withdrawing his thoughts, Xiao Beichen began to think of ways to leave.

Like, he tried to break out of the castle...

But can't get out.

I don’t know what’s going on, but I just can’t get out.

It felt like a car facing a cliff, unable to drive up no matter how hard it was driven.

"Forget it, it's almost time to suck blood. I have to go back. Otherwise, that guy will come to trouble me. I'll figure it out later."

Xiao Beichen gave up and returned to the bedroom in the palace.

Sure enough, the woman in red was waiting for him there.

suck blood.

After finishing, the woman in red bandaged Xiao Beichen's wrist wound.

His eyes were a little unfriendly: "Don't even think about escaping. Otherwise, you will only die faster."

After leaving a word, the woman in red left again.

How could Xiao Beichen listen to what she said?

In the next few days, Xiao Beichen tried every means to escape from the castle.

no way!

can not go out!

An existence beyond Xiao Beichen's understanding.

For this reason, Xiao Beichen went to Bai Yuege and asked: Is this a huge storage space similar to Najie, and does it require the approval of the woman in red to leave?

Bai Yuege gave a clear answer: I guess... it should be yes.

Xiao Beichen had no choice but to give up.

It seems that the key to leaving... lies with the woman in red.

In the next few days, Xiao Beichen began to talk.

He played a trick on the woman in red.

But this woman can’t take advantage of it...

In the end, Xiao Beichen anchored his hope on Song Qiuyue.

On this day, after sucking the blood of the woman in red, Xiao Beichen found Bai Yuege: "Where did you see Song Qiuyue's body before? Take me there."

Xiao Beichen had asked before.

But Bai Yuege said that there was a mechanism in that place and it was quite dangerous. It is not recommended for Xiao Beichen to go.

Now, there is no other way.

Bai Yuege also realized the seriousness of the matter and took Xiao Beichen out of the bedroom. Passing through the central hall of the castle, walking through the long corridor, and finally coming to a very remote courtyard.

The yard is huge.

It seems to be a very big altar!

Xiao Beichen estimated that it should be a place used by Wangcheng to worship heaven.

Beyond the altar, there is an ancestral hall at the end.

Also very impressive.

There are countless ever-burning lamps burning inside the altar.

Nine thousand nine hundred and ninety.

The oil and wick used are very special and will last for hundreds of years.

At the end, there are six spiritual tablets.

Divide into three rows.

There are three spiritual tablets in the bottom row, two spiritual tablets in the middle row, and one spiritual tablet in the top row.

Takes on the shape of a pyramid.

Xiao Beichen leaned over to take a look.

There are three names on the first row of spiritual tablets: Taishitu, Taishidi, and Taishinu.

There are two names in the second row: Taishi Shi and Taishi Fu.

The name of the top spiritual tablet: Taishi Jun.

After seeing the name at the top, Xiao Beichen fell silent.

Most people may not know what it means.

But Xiao Beichen knew it.

Taishi is a major surname in ancient times.

Almost extinct.

In earlier times, Taishi was not a surname. It is a position in a country that is specifically in charge of astronomical calculations.

Specifically, it records historical events, writes history, supervises national books and documents, astronomical calendars, sacrifices, etc. He could even draft documents on behalf of the king and appoint princes.

Later, the number of descendants of Taishi's surname gradually decreased, and Taishi's authority was divided among successive dynasties. The task of compiling history was specially given to Zuo Lang, while Tai Shi was only responsible for astronomy and calendar.

That is to say, the later Si Tianjian, Astronomical Academy, Taishi Bureau, etc.

But in the earliest days, Taishi was an absolutely remarkable being.

Xiao Beichen never expected that he would be able to see Taishi's ancestral temple.

"It seems that Mr. Taishi should be the founder of this castle. But what does this woman in red have to do with the Taishi family?"

"Is she a descendant of the Taishi family? Or is she from outside?"

"It stands to reason that this castle existed at least forty or fifty years ago. It might have existed during the Daqian Dynasty. It might have been a hundred years old. The woman in red doesn't look very old. …”

Xiao Beichen instinctively felt that the woman in red was not a descendant of the Taishi family.

foreign?

Who did that person from the castle turn into a statue?

After condensing for a long time, Xiao Beichen couldn't figure out the reason, so he turned to Bai Yuege and said, "Where is Song Qiuyue's body?"

Bai Yuege pointed to a transparent jade coffin not far away: "There."

Lean over to have a look.

Sure enough, it was a small jade coffin.

Transparent color.

There was a woman lying quietly inside.

The whole body was burnt.

Moreover, it is still on fire...

Although the flames were not big, they were still burning.

The body is like a red-hot iron.

Very scary.

The jade coffin isolated all Xiao Beichen's power.

Unable to probe.

But judging from the situation, he should be dead.

"Why is her body still on fire? The fire of divine punishment has been burning for thirteen years and has not been extinguished?"

This is too scary, right?

Bai Yuege shook his head: "I don't know either..."

Xiao Beichen approached the jade coffin and looked at the weak flame inside at close range: "Is this the fire of divine punishment?"

Although the breath was completely cut off by the jade coffin, Xiao Beichen could still feel the terror of the flames.

As if just a spark could burn him alive.

At this moment, Bai Yuege suddenly entered Najie: "Xiao Beichen, the secret room where the woman in red retreats is behind this ancestral hall. I feel... something is coming out. You have to be careful."

Swish!

A breath came from a stone door on the left side of the ancestral hall.

Xiao Beichen was so frightened that he hid quickly.

For a long time, there was no movement.

Xiao Beichen stuck out half of his head and looked forward.

I saw the stone door on the side open.

The door is ajar.

Inside, red light flashed.

Scarlet red like blood, very scary looking.

I don't know why, Xiao Beichen felt very scared, but he couldn't help but take steps forward and walked towards the stone gate little by little.

These days, the woman in red only does two things.

Vampire, seclusion.

What on earth is this Diaomao so closed about?

It's obviously already so powerful.

Still in retreat?

Xiao Beichen was so curious.

Tiptoeing, he walked to the stone door.

He stuck out half his head and looked towards the stone room.

I saw a huge space inside.

Outrageously large.

Filled with red light and blood mist.

I can't see clearly.

After confirming that there was not much danger, Xiao Beichen walked in slowly.

As soon as I entered the door, I heard a "click".

The stone door was actually closed.

Xiao Beichen's heart instinctively "thumped".

Lift your head and look ahead.

hiss!

He took a breath of cold air, his hair stood on end...
