An hour later, Lao Zhang sent Ning Chen and Xiaoya home.
Ning Chen also used his mobile phone to transfer the remaining fee to Lao Zhang, waved to Lao Zhang, and took Xiaoya upstairs.
He took Xiaoya back to where Xiaoya's parents lived, tidied up, and took some things Xiaoya used, clothes, and memorable things.
Xiaoya won't go back to live in that house, and Ning Chen doesn't intend to help Xiaoya get rid of it. Let's just keep it like this as a souvenir so that Xiaoya can go back and see it when she grows up.
It's the same here, the house is left like this.
Although Ning Chen is not rich, he is not short of money. He ranked first in the city in the martial arts test, and the school gave him a bonus of 200,000 yuan. Adding the savings left by his grandfather, it is about more than 300,000 yuan.
That's enough for now.
Xiaoya's parents didn't leave much money, because Xiaoya's mother was ill and the family's savings were almost spent.
"Brother Ning Chen... Well, brother, are you hungry?" Xiaoya was still a little uncomfortable with the new title, and looked at Ning Chen with big eyes, "How about I cook you a bowl of noodles?"
"Can you cook noodles?" Ning Chen asked with a smile.
Xiaoya nodded and said: "I can not only cook noodles, but also cook rice and stir-fry vegetables. My father is busy at work and also has to go to the hospital to take care of my mother, so sometimes I can only cook for myself." As he said,
Thinking of my parents again, I lowered my head and felt depressed.
Ning Chen put down his backpack and said, "I'll do it. You watch TV for a while. You'll be fine soon."
While Ning Chen was cooking, Xiaoya did not watch TV, but stood at the door of the kitchen. It seemed that only in this way, she would not feel lonely and helpless.
There was some meat and vegetables in the refrigerator. Ning Chen fried shredded pork, a plate of vegetables, and cooked tomato and egg soup.
"Okay." Ning Chen took off his apron and said, "Eat."
Xiaoya sat in front of the table, eating her food, and asked: "Brother, are you going to the capital to study? Then...what should I do?"
Ning Chen smiled and said: "Don't worry, I won't leave you. You follow me to the capital, and I will find a school for you when you get there."
After receiving the assurance, Xiaoya laughed happily.
After dinner, Xiaoya was asked to go back to her room to sleep. Ning Chen also returned to his room, but instead of sleeping, he closed his eyes and came to the Bronze Palace.
Ning Chen has been busy these days, and since his grandfather is gone, Ning Chen doesn't have the time to check out the Bronze Palace.
Now standing outside the Bronze Palace, Ning Chen felt a difference, as if the Bronze Palace had a closer connection with him.
"Now that I'm at the first level, I don't know if I can open the door." Ning Chen stretched out his hand, placed it on the bronze palace door, and pushed hard.
Click!
There was a soft sound, and the bronze palace door was pushed open through a gap.
Ning Chen felt happy and pushed hard again. As he pushed, the door of the bronze palace slowly opened, revealing the scene inside.
This is a huge space, very empty, like a huge square, the ground and walls are also bronze, carved with strange lines, simple and mysterious.
There is a gate at the end of the square, which leads to the next building of the Bronze Palace, but the gate is closed at this time.
These are nothing.
What surprised Ning Chen was that there was a man standing in the middle of this empty space. He was wearing a battle armor and holding a long sword. He struck the ground with the long sword and stood there quietly.
Even when the door was pushed open and Ning Chen walked in, the man did not move at all, just like a statue that had been standing there for who knows how many years.
"That...senior." Ning Chen shouted tentatively.
no respond.
"Master?"
"Brother?"
However there was still no response.
Ning Chen looked around. It was empty and there didn't seem to be any danger. He walked forward and stood in front of the man. Now he was face to face and could see more clearly.
This man was probably in his thirties. He looked very ordinary. His eyes were closed and his face was gray. He really looked like a sculpture.
But this is not a sculpture, it is very real.
"This is a person." Ning Chen was shocked in his heart. He was sure that this was a person.
In other words, this is a corpse.
This man is already dead. He has been dead for who knows how many years. His skin has turned gray-white, but for some unknown reason, it has not decayed and is lifelike.
"That's right. I don't know how many years this bronze palace has been there. If there is someone there, what will they eat and drink? They will be dead long ago." Ning Chen exhaled and stretched out his hand. Although he thought it was impossible, he still wanted to further confirm whether the person was breathing.
and pulse.
"You came."
However, at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded.
Ning Chen was startled, and retracted his outstretched hand as if he was electrocuted. He quickly took a few steps back and looked at the man in horror.
"This... you are still alive?" Ning Chen was shocked that this man was still alive. After all, he was still alive!
"You're here." The voice appeared again, but Ning Chen found that the man did not speak, and the voice did not come from the other person's position, but sounded directly in his mind, saying to him: "Don't be afraid, I have already
died."
If you are dead and you can still talk, can I not be afraid?
Ning Chen couldn't help but complain in his heart.
"What you see now is just my body, and the voice you hear is my last ray of spiritual thought." The voice sounded again: "I know you have many questions, but I don't have much time, so I can only tell you a few.
Simple message…”
After a long while, Ning Chen calmed down. He looked at the other party. The corpse was still a corpse, but the voice sounded in his mind.
This feels very strange, very weird.
The voice said: "You can call this Bronze Palace the Bronze Immortal Palace. As for me, you can regard me as the gatekeeper of this Bronze Immortal Palace, or you can call me the Sword Holder. I have been waiting here for countless years.
, someone finally walked in."
Bronze Immortal Palace, the sword holder, the sword holder has been waiting for countless years, so how many years has this bronze palace existed?
Ning Chen was shocked.
"I'm just a gatekeeper. There are many things I can't tell you. Of course, with your current strength, you don't need to know." The sword holder continued: "You only need to know that this Bronze Immortal Palace is your opportunity. At the same time,
It’s also your responsibility.”
"This Bronze Immortal Palace has a total of seven palaces. Each palace has a door. You cannot open it if you are not strong enough."
"Just like you opened the door just now, you can only open the next door when you are strong enough." The sword holder said: "As for what is inside these several palaces, I can't tell you. You can discover it yourself later.
"
Listening to this, Ning Chen's heart was filled with confusion and he could not calm down.
This was unbelievable, like a fantasy. Even though he had already known that the Bronze Palace was extraordinary, the words of the sword holder still surprised him.
The seventh-level palace requires sufficient strength to open it. So what kind of strength do you need to fully open this seventh-level palace?
Also, what’s in it?
