As a murderer, Goldfish feels that death is wrong.
"This is not the way I killed. The way I killed was not so ugly."
said the goldfish.
Of course, this is not the appearance of the person he killed, and he has no special preference for human hearts. He was already like that after being poisoned by the elixir, and he still had to find time to dig out and devour people's hearts.
"so......"
Lu Yunjia looked around. Although he was looking carefully and warily, and his eyes were very sharp, it had to be said that the main component was confusion.
Who poached Long You's heart?
At that time, everyone's attention was indeed on the goldfish, but Zhuang Junji and Lu Yunjia were both masters.
At their level, even if they don't consciously perceive anything, they can immediately detect any strange movement within such a distance.
However, someone stole a heart, and they didn't notice it at all. Either the person who stole the heart was immeasurably more powerful than they were, or the person who stole the heart was not a human being.
The goldfish couldn't help but ask: "Is there a ghost here?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone subconsciously looked at the statue on the ink jade throne.
If there is a ghost here, it can only be the man named Tuoba Lie who has been dead for a long time.
The throne is empty!
The statue sitting on the throne is gone!
At this moment, even a calm man like Zhuang Junji felt his heart suffocate. After a while, goose bumps appeared on his arms.
The goldfish moved subconsciously. Although he was seriously injured, it did not prevent him from hiding... Although, he did not move at all because he was still in Sui Qing's arms.
inside.
Sui Qingqu only felt a sharp chill on the back of his neck, as if someone blew a breath on his neck from behind.
That's a statue!
Sui Qingqi and Jinyu had both looked at it carefully before, and there was no way they could be wrong. The material of the statue was exactly the same as that of the two bronze armor statues outside. Judging from the craftsmanship, it should have been made by the same person.
"Maybe... there really is a ghost."
Lu Yunjia muttered to himself.
At this time, on this occasion, there seems to be no more reasonable explanation other than ghosts, although the explanation itself is extremely unreasonable.
"That guy Lin Ye said... there are some things hidden under the Great Tianshan Mountain that don't exist in our knowledge, such as snow apes becoming spirits, so it doesn't seem strange that there are ghosts in the world.
"
Sui Qingqu shook his head and said: "There can't be a ghost."
The goldfish asked: "Why are you so sure?"
Sui Qing went and said: "If there are ghosts, there cannot be only one kind of ghost. How many soldiers from the Central Plains have died in battles here in Yunzhou throughout the ages. If there are really any scary ghosts, we must first get through them."
Goldfish thinks it makes sense.
But he soon discovered that something was wrong with these words. It was not that the words themselves were wrong, but that something was wrong with Sui Qingqing seriously speaking these words. The only reasonable explanation was... Sui Qingqu was also afraid, but
He was trying hard to show that he wasn't afraid.
"How about we go back."
The goldfish said: "If you don't take me with you, it would be fine for you to go in and investigate, but now I am a burden to you."
Sui Qing went and said, "I can put you here first, let's go
After exploring, I will take you back."
Jinyu felt that the other party was a little too disrespectful. It wasn't that he didn't give face, but that he didn't give himself face. He even threw him up such a big and flat step, but Sui Qingqu refused to step down?
Sui Qing went and said, "But there is indeed some evil here. We might as well bring more helpers over to investigate after we go back."
Goldfish Heart says you have a conscience.
Zhuang Junji and Lu Yunjia discussed it and felt that it was too dangerous to go in like this. The goldfish couldn't even move now. If there was any danger, he would definitely be the first to die.
Jinyu Xin said it was the first time to do such a big, flat step, and it felt pretty good.
After some discussion, everyone exited the hall along the original route. The moment they walked out, everyone involuntarily breathed a sigh of relief.
Including Sui Qingqu.
It's just that Sui Qingqu's tone of relief was very slight, and he deliberately suppressed it.
"Go back and come back with a large group of people."
The goldfish said: "If it doesn't work, use thunder bullets to blow this place to pieces..."
Lu Yunjia reached out from the side and covered his mouth.
Jinyu asked what was wrong with his eyes. Only then did he notice that Lu Yunjia and Sui Qingqu's expressions became strange again.
"Here, just now..."
Lu Yunjia said in a very soft voice: "There were two very tall guards, but now they are gone."
The goldfish only felt his scalp numb.
Because he was carried out by Sui Qing, he didn't notice that the two bronze armor statues were missing.
Those two guys are nearly one foot tall. As long as they are human beings, you wouldn't think those two statues are real people.
Moreover, even if
Those two people were so huge and heavy. Why didn't there even be a sound when they left?
At this moment, fear began to emerge uncontrollably in everyone's heart. If fear had appeared in the hall just now, now this fear has become a storm.
"Will..."
Zhuang Junji frowned and said to himself: "What illusion are we under now? Everything we see is not real?"
"Illusion?"
Lu Yunjia shook his head and said: "Everyone's physical strength, spirit, and will are different, so even if they are affected by illusions, it is impossible for all four people to have the same illusions."
Goldfish said: "I heard that there is a kind of mushroom in southern Xinjiang. People will be poisoned after eating it, and the poisoning will cause hallucinations. If several people eat the same mushroom, they will indeed have hallucinations."
Lu Yunjia still shook his head: "It's not that easy to make people enter hallucinations, and the biggest goal after letting people enter hallucinations is of course to kill the other party. Since we are all in hallucinations, why doesn't anyone come to kill us?"
The goldfish asked: "Will we kill each other in that moment?"
Sui Qing moved his eyebrows.
"Go out first and then talk."
Zhuang Junji stepped forward: "I will open the way, you follow me closely."
Sui Qing went to hand the goldfish to Lu Yunjia: "You are in the middle, I will take the back."
Jinyu originally thought that Lu Yunjia would hug him like Sui Qingqu did, but Lu Yunjia reached out and grabbed Jinyu's belt and left.
The four people exited along the same path they came in, but did not encounter any danger, so the questions in their minds became more and more serious, because this was completely unreasonable.
Just after they left
In the open space in front of the main hall, the moment they flew out of the tall city wall, half of the face peeked out from the side of the main hall door and looked at them. After they jumped out, this half of the face shrank back again.
The way back was obviously much easier than when we came in. Perhaps because we were walking more quickly, the time it took us when we came out was half as much as when we went in.
Only when Jinyu got outside did he realize that the previous few people had been subdued.
Now they were back at Tianshui Cliff, halfway up the mountain. The moment they entered the main hall, they felt the warmth return to their bodies.
It has to be said that the main hall of Shangyang Palace still has an aura of greatness and righteousness.
After entering the main hall, Lu Yunjia put down the goldfish and said, "I'm going to look for medicine."
After saying that, he left.
Sui Qing went to sit cross-legged on the ground, closed his eyes and began to recall the things he encountered in the underground palace of the ghost market. He thought carefully from the time he entered, not wanting to miss any detail.
The goldfish knew what he was thinking, so he closed his eyes and started thinking about it.
"Is Tuoba Lie not dead?"
At this moment, Zhuang Junji interrupted Sui Qingqi and Jinyu's thoughts with one sentence.
"probably not."
Sui Qing went and said: "Before Tuoba Lie died, the Supreme Saint saw him personally. If it was a fake Tuoba Lie, it would be impossible for him to hide it even from the Supreme Saint."
Jinyu said: "It's not that impossible. Before this, Taishang Shengjun and Tuoba Lie had not seen each other for at least ten years."
Sui Qing went and said, "In less than ten years, the Supreme Sage has been to Yunzhou before."
Goldfish said: "Then, what if the Tuoba Lie that the Supreme Saint saw at that time was fake? From that time on, the real Tuoba Lie has disappeared, and the fake Tuoba Lie has seen
When we arrived at the Supreme Saint Monarch, the Supreme Saint Monarch didn't see any flaws, so he became more convinced of Tuoba Lie's idea of faking death to escape?"
Sui Qing went silent.
After Lin Ye arrived in Yunzhou, Taishang Shengjun actually did go to Yunzhou.
But before that, Taishang Shengjun and Tuoba Lie had not seen each other for almost ten years.
So the goldfish speculation is not impossible.
The one Taishang Shengjun saw when he came was fake, so when Taishang Shengjun saw him again before Tuoba Lie's death, he didn't notice it because the first time he saw him and the second time he saw him were both fake.
It's the same fake Tuoba Lie.
The more Sui Qingqu thought about it, the more complicated it became, and the more he thought about it, the bigger his head became.
What was Tuoba Lie's purpose in arranging all these things? Did he really never think about rebellion from the beginning to the end?
Did he just want to really drag him to the point of exchanging his life?
But if this is the case, then what is the purpose of spending so much manpower and material resources to build the palace in this underground ghost market in Yunzhou?
This doesn't make sense at all.
Moreover, to build such a huge underground palace, let’s not talk about material resources, but just how much manpower is needed? What about these people?
"If Tuoba Lie is not dead and is hiding in the underground palace of the ghost market, then why did he let us go today? This makes no sense."
Zhuang Junji seemed to be talking to himself: "If he lives, he will have no problem killing a few of us with his strength. Even if he can't do it himself, he will definitely have helpers..."
Sui Qing went and nodded: "Let us leave, and the secrets of the underground palace will naturally be leaked to us. Then what's the point of the underground palace that he devoted all his efforts to build?"
The goldfish is lying there, here
There are only three feelings.
First, what happened today is very bizarre. Regardless of whether Tuoba Lie is dead or alive, it seems very unreasonable.
Second, the underground palace is full of weirdness. If it is really an illusion, does the underground palace not exist at all? Were they already under the illusion before they saw the underground palace?
Third...the ground is really cold.
Sui Qing went to look at Zhuang Junji and asked, "Which one do you think is bigger, Mr. Zhuang? Mr. Zhu said before that we might have been under an illusion. Could it be that we were under an illusion before seeing the underground palace?"
Zhuang Junji nodded and said: "This seems to be the most reasonable explanation... Although each of us is different, if we pass through the same trap one after another, we are likely to fall into the same illusion.
"
Sui Qing went to recall carefully and found out that the four people took the same route. Zhuang Junji and Lu Yunjia relied on the marks they left to find their way there.
So it's not a problem if four people fall into the same trap one after another.
"But the question is...what is the purpose of letting us enter the hallucination?"
The goldfish lay there and looked at the roof of the hall and asked: "As I said, an illusion without a purpose is meaningless. Could it be just to scare us? We were under the illusion, but the enemy did not take action. It is unreasonable."
At this moment, Zhuang Junji looked aside: "Why hasn't Priest Lu come back yet?"
Sui Qingqu raised his eyebrows, and suddenly he stood up. In a daze, he disappeared outside the main hall.
Zhuang Junji did not dare to act rashly. He wanted to guard the seriously injured goldfish.
Sui Qing left after two full moments.
He came back with a serious look on his face, and his first words after seeing the two of them were... Lu Yunjia is missing.
When a disciple saw Lu Yunjia running out of the hall, he saluted Lu Yunjia, but Lu Yunjia ignored him and ran directly over.
However, Sui Qing went to look for Tianshui Cliff and found no trace of Lu Yunjia. The disciples also did not see Lu Yunjia going out after returning.
"It's a little scary."
Goldfish's mood was a little complicated. He seemed to be back to the time when he was a child and faced the darkness alone.
Sui Qing looked at Zhuang Junji: "Mr. Zhuang, now..."
Zhuang Junji took a deep breath and stood up: "Let's shake him."
