In this way, everyone arrived at the door of the fifth floor.
At this moment, the door is still closed.
And these believers knew for the first time that there was actually a door on the fifth floor of the Beidou Tower.
There are no doors or anything like that on the first four floors.
But unlike last night, today, the door was not locked.
Xin Yuheng stood in front of the door and looked at everyone. She knew that Qin Wenyuan must be hidden among these people, but she was not sure who it was yet.
However, Shen Lian can definitely hear what she said.
She took a deep breath and said, "Behind the door is the fifth floor closest to Empress Beidou!"
"The fifth floor has a different situation from the previous four floors."
"So, no matter what you see, I hope you can stay calm and don't yell and disturb Empress Beidou's rest."
These believers quickly covered their mouths and disturbed Empress Beidou while she was resting. This was the most unforgivable thing for believers like them.
Xin Yuheng glanced at them, and then said: "Let's go, officially enter the fifth floor!"
After saying that, she walked directly to the door, put her hands on the door panel, and pushed hard.
Hearing a creaking sound, the closed door that had blocked Shen Lian last night was suddenly opened.
Xin Yuheng was the first to enter.
The other believers also followed in with pious hearts.
Shen Lian and Tianji looked at each other, then their eyes flashed, and they also walked in.
And when they entered the fifth floor, their expressions changed significantly.
Tianji's eyes widened.
Shen Lian narrowed his eyes.
But also because the expressions of other believers were similar to theirs, full of surprise, so their change of color was not that special.
But even so, the expressions of Tianji and Shen Lian changed for a moment even when they were prepared, which can also explain the surprise in their hearts...
"no the same!"
Tianji lowered his voice and said.
Shen Lian squinted his eyes, looked at the scene in front of him, took a deep breath, and said, "It's different."
What they saw in front of them was not a courtyard like the one in Taihe City.
This isn't even a courtyard.
This place... is a ruin!
No.
It's not correct to say ruins.
It should be called - a semi-finished product that was abandoned due to some reasons after the construction was halfway through!
In front of them was a building like a temple.
But half of the building collapsed.
And in the collapsed building, you can see a statue of a god that has not yet been painted, lying there.
That statue is the smiling statue of Empress Beidou!
Not the sad statue enshrined in Dali City!
But it’s the same smiling statue as Taihe City!
Collapsed temples and toppled statues of gods, all of which were full of a sense of decadence, filled these believers with wonder.
If Xin Yuheng hadn't reminded them not to shout, they would have screamed again and again.
After all, no one expected that this fifth floor would be like this!
At this time, they suddenly discovered that in the collapsed temple, in front of the toppled statue of the god, there was a person sitting.
This man had gray hair, was wearing a monk's robe, and was facing away from them.
"Congratulations, you have arrived on the fifth floor!"
At this time, the man suddenly spoke.
After hearing this man's words, everyone immediately looked at him.
Shen Lian and Tianji also looked at each other, looking at this man's expression, full of vigilance and suspicion.
Who is this person?
This person is the only one on such an important fifth floor!
That shows that his identity is absolutely extraordinary!
So, who is he?
Could it be...
Both of them had a twinkle in their eyes!
Could it be... that it's Beichen?
In other words, Beichen's puppet?
In front of the fallen statue, the white-haired Taoist still didn't turn around. He continued to speak, "Heng, there are a lot of people."
Xin Yuheng is a little embarrassed.
She wanted to touch her nose to relieve her embarrassment, but she was wearing a mask, so she had to lower her raised hand.
She said: "There were some accidents on the way, which resulted in a large number of people."
The white-haired Taoist's tone was still calm and calm. He said gently: "It is normal for accidents to happen if he is here. If he is not here, then there will be no accidents."
"So, this is a good thing, don't worry about it."
Xin Yuheng was silent for a moment, then nodded.
But those believers found that they could not understand the plain language.
What does "He is here?"
who is he?
Isn't this the test of Empress Beidou?
Shen Lian and Tianji, on the other hand, frowned slightly.
This man's words made them all feel a little pressure.
Although the Taoist didn't say much, his confidence in controlling everything and his calm tone let Shen Lian and Tianji know that everything they did was within this person's expectations.
Of course...this is nothing surprising.
After all, Shen Lian knew from the beginning that this test was a trick of Beichen or Xin Yuheng.
The reason why he caused these accidents was to increase his leverage.
After all, the more people there are, the harder it will be for them to find themselves.
The Taoist still looked at the smiling statue of the god that had fallen over opposite him and said, "No matter what the process is, you are able to come here. This is worthy of celebration."
"And when we get here, we will give you all what you agreed upon."
"If you want to join the Beidou Club, you can join directly after you go down!"
"This is the opportunity you deserve."
"Then you can go down."
When these believers heard this, they couldn't help but whisper.
They thought that after arriving on the fifth floor, they would be in such an exciting situation.
But the current result was completely beyond their expectations.
There is no splendid palace on the fifth floor, but only a pile of ruins.
And as soon as they arrived, they were asked to leave.
So they worked so hard to get to the fifth floor, and just like that... it's over?
Is this the reason for the five levels we passed before?
And... who is this Taoist?
Why can he stay alone on the fifth floor?
Why do Heng from the headquarters treat him with such respect?
Could it be that he is a higher-ranking person in the headquarters?
Countless puzzles filled their hearts.
But they could all feel the unquestioning tone in the white-haired Taoist's tone, and the endless majesty made them dare not disobey, so even if they had a lot to say, they would not dare to say it.
In the end, he could only turn around and leave after hesitating for a moment.
Shen Lian and Tianji looked at each other, and they both didn't understand this guy's purpose.
Do you want to let them go?
Isn't he afraid of letting the tiger go back to the mountain?
If that's the case, why bother designing so many levels?
Even Shen Lian, at this moment, I don't understand what this person is thinking.
At this moment, the white-haired Taoist's voice sounded again: "You can stay!"
who?
The believers subconsciously turned to look at the white-haired Taoist, but the Taoist still had his back turned to them, as if he was not talking to them.
The white-haired Taoist continued: "If you stay, I can tell you a secret that will definitely interest you."
"I will play a game of chess with you. If you win, I promise that this time, I will let you leave safely!"
"If you lose, it won't necessarily be that bad based on your ability, but you can know an important secret. No matter what, it's all your profit!"
"so……"
The white-haired Taoist laughed, rolled out a chessboard, and said: "What is your decision... to stay, or... not to stay?"
The white-haired Taoist's voice echoed within the fifth floor.
The believers who were about to go downstairs were very confused.
They found that they had no idea what the Taoist said.
Xin Yuheng, on the other hand, stared at these people with his blue eyes.
She understands what the Taoist means!
I also know who the Taoist is talking to!
This is the Taoist invitation to Shen Lian!
Next, it depends on whether Shen Lian will agree!
If Shen Lian agrees, then Shen Lian will definitely stay here.
Then, when the time comes, she will know who the deeply hidden Shen Lian is!
Her eyes swept over these people one by one.
She really can't wait to know who is Shen Lian!
Is it the tall guy?
Or the stronger guy?
Xin Yuheng wanted to see something from the faces of these people.
But it was obvious that she had gained nothing.
This made her a little depressed. Unless Shen Lian showed up, she found... that she would not be able to find any trace of Shen Lian at all!
At this moment, Tianji was also looking at Shen Lian.
She also heard that the man in front of her was inviting Shen Lian to a fight.
Then Shen Lian...will he agree?
At this time, she discovered that Shen Lian didn't hesitate at all and walked directly out.
"He doesn't want to stay and know the secret?"
Tianji was confused.
But when she saw Shen Lian left, she didn't say anything. At this time, she still believed in Shen Lian's judgment.
"It seems like you really won't stay if I don't come up with something real!"
At this time, the white-haired Taoist sighed.
He spoke again and said: "Don't you want to know about your father? Don't you want to know how your father... died?"
"Or, to put it another way, you don't want to know whether your father...is dead?"
Tianji was a little confused.
Why is Father Shen Lian suddenly involved?
Is Shen Lian's father still entangled with Beidou?
Shen Lian had already determined it when he was on the third floor. Although Tianji could find a portrait of his father, he didn't know that the person in the portrait was Shen Lian's father.
Therefore, Tianji naturally doesn't know about the entanglement between Shen Lian's father and the Beidou Society.
At this time, Tianji suddenly noticed that Shen Lian's steps had stopped.
He looked at Shen Lian's back and saw that Shen Lian suddenly shrugged his shoulders, then sighed, suddenly turned around, looked at the white-haired Taoist, and said: "You are really a annoying little goblin. Catch him to death."
"In this confrontation, you win."
Shen Lian took the initiative to show up.
In fact, this white-haired Taoist said it was something he was really curious about.
What finally made him stop was the white-haired Taoist's words about whether his father was dead or not.
Is his father not dead?
As soon as this idea came up, Shen Lian really couldn't remain indifferent anymore.
Shen Lian stood up.
The believers looked at him with some confusion.
Could it be that everything the white-haired Taoist just said was about this dull guy?
The most shocking thing, without a doubt, was the new Yuheng in front of him.
At this moment, Xin Yuheng's expression suddenly collapsed.
Without tearing off her mask, you can know her extremely complicated heart at this time based on the confusion, shock, disbelief, collapse, and madness in her eyes.
Xin Yuheng stared at Shen Lian, completely in disbelief, and his voice trembled: "You... you... you are Shen Lian!?"
She was really surprised.
It’s really unbelievable!
The person in front of me is Shen Lian!
How could the person in front of me be Shen Lian?
This dull guy could actually be Shen Lian?
Xin Yuheng had doubted anyone, but not this stupid guy!
But who knew, he... turned out to be the real Shen Lian.
Shen Lian looked at Xin Yuheng's shocked eyes and showed a smile. His face was full of wisdom, but there was still a little bit of dullness.
He smiled and said: "Heng, you are really stupid. Think about it, among so many people, I am the only one who defeated you... Don't worry about the method, just look at the result alone. You should be more suspicious of me."
"But in the end, you excluded me first, so..."
Shen Lian shook his head and said with emotion: "You are not suitable to be a bad person. You will be killed sooner or later, so you should abandon the darkness and turn to the light."
Shen Lian's words made it difficult to describe the feeling in Xin Yuheng's heart.
She only felt that at this moment, it was as if a condiment bottle had been knocked over twice, and the flavors were really mixed.
Xin Yuheng just stared at Shen Lian, not looking away for a long time.
"alright."
At this time, the voice of the white-haired Taoist rang out: "Heng, don't be influenced by him. The title of the smartest man in the Tang Dynasty is not just called casually. I have suffered many losses from him. You will suffer a little." , couldn’t be more normal.”
Shen Lian walked out with a smile. He looked at the white-haired Taoist and said, "Who are you?"
"Beichen?"
"Or a puppet?"
"Or someone else I don't know about?"
The white-haired Taoist said calmly: "According to seniority, you should call me uncle."
"Tsk, tsk, are you now a relative?"
Shen Lian clicked his tongue in surprise: "Don't tell me, you and I are still related by blood?"
The white-haired Taoist's tone remained unchanged: "Your father and I are brothers. Although we are not related by blood, you should still call me uncle."
Shen Lian narrowed his eyes and said, "Brother?"
real or fake?
Don't try to deceive me with your nonsense just because my father is dead and has no evidence to prove it?
The white-haired Taoist said: "We can learn from heaven and earth. We were sworn to the Emperor and the Empress at that time. Whether you believe it or not, this is the fact."
fart!
Is there anything we can learn from heaven and earth?
Why don't you tell Empress Beidou to testify for you?
Shen Lian felt that what the white-haired Taoist said was most likely true.
After all, there is absolutely no need for him to be related to him at this time.
But even if it were true, it had nothing to do with him.
