Chapter 983 Millstone
She was not on guard, nor was Pu Yanlan. They watched helplessly as Gu Shiyi pushed open the door easily. A flash of light appeared inside, and her whole body was about to be sucked in. Fortunately, Pu Yanlan was quick-witted and grabbed the clothes on her back. With her physical strength alone, how could she resist? She followed behind Gu Shiyi and was sucked into the palace door by a powerful force.

"boom……"

When the two figures disappeared, the huge palace door closed heavily again...

The people below looked at the bewildered Phoenix Clan members with strange faces.

"You three really don't know?"

The three members of the Phoenix Clan shook their heads, and the fourth one spoke up.

"We were captured by a man in a black robe and our minds were sealed. We have been in a daze the whole time and have no idea how we ended up here..."

As he spoke, he looked around with a look of surprise. The twin old men saw this and a cold light flashed in their eyes.
"It doesn't matter if they don't know. I have a way to extract the memories in their sea of ​​consciousness. Although these three people have lost their minds, they can still hear and see. Everything they have experienced, heard, and seen is left in their sea of ​​consciousness. Let me extract the memories from their sea of ​​consciousness!"

The people they brought with them nodded when they heard this.

"This method of Elder Chu Shan is very good!"

The faces of the three Phoenix Clan members changed drastically, and Elder Jin Shan frowned.
"If the sea of ​​consciousness is captured, the person will probably become useless!"

Elder Qingluan also shook his head and said,

"No..."

After saying this, he looked towards the mountain-like palace in the distance, and then the layers of jade steps leading to the palace, and then continued,
"These three people were coerced. Even if their memories were captured, I'm afraid they wouldn't know any secrets. Besides, we're already here. Instead of wasting time here, why not go up and take a look..."

As soon as she finished speaking, a loud "bang" was heard from the distant hall. The sound came from the majestic hall, and everyone's faces changed color when they heard it.

"Could it be that the magic array in the hall has been activated?"

Everyone immediately lost the desire to attack the three people from the Phoenix Clan and rushed towards the huge steps, fearing that if they were too slow, all the treasures would be taken away. The two elders from Chu Shan looked at Elder Qingluan at the same time, and they all dodged and flew over.

The remaining people from Wanmiao Mountain, Elder Qingluan and Elder Jinshan looked at each other and said to the three people from the Phoenix Clan,
"Come on, you can leave now!"

After that, he ignored them and led everyone to fly away. The three remaining Phoenix tribe members looked at each other. After a while, the fourth one asked,

"what should we do?"

The third brother frowned tightly, looking at the flashing people and the huge palace, and said in a deep voice,

"It's dangerous here, we'd better leave!"

The fourth one was a little hesitant.

"One look at this palace reveals that the treasures inside are extremely valuable. It would be a pity to leave like this..."

The fifth brother nodded repeatedly. He had just escaped from the predicament, and his mind became active again.

"Exactly. No matter who brought us here, since we are already here, why don't we go up and take a look?"

The third brother saw that it was two against one, thought about it and shook his head.
"You can go if you want, I won't go in!"

He had just watched the group of people from the sidelines with cold eyes. Among them, there were at least four cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage, and several in the Spirit Transformation stage. Given the realms of the three of them, if they went there, they would not only not get any treasures, but also lose their lives!

Thinking of this, he turned around and walked out without hesitation. The fourth and fifth brothers looked at each other and the fifth brother said angrily,
"He's always been like this. He doesn't stand with me, which makes it clear that he is the only one who is clear-headed, and we are all confused!"

After thinking for a while, he suddenly snorted coldly, flipped his palm and took out a ball of something, and threw it at the back of the leaving third brother. The ball of something unfolded, and it turned out to be a thin long rope. The rope quietly wrapped around the third brother. The third brother did not expect that the fifth brother would attack him, and he was tied up without warning. He turned around and became furious.
"Old Five, what do you want to do?"

The fourth one was also surprised.
"Old Five, how could you attack your own people!"

Lao Wu snorted,

"Fourth sister, don't worry, I won't do anything to Third Brother, I just want to take him with me..."

The eldest brother was furious.
"Old Five, you're crazy!"

Lao Wu snorted,

"Third brother, I advise you to come with us. Now there are only three of us left from the same tribe who came here together. If you go out alone and run into danger, you might even lose your life. It's better for you to stay with us..." Since we are from the same tribe, we would rather die together!
The fourth brother listened, thought about it and advised,

"Third brother, even if we came together, we must retreat together!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a rumble of thunder above her head.
"Thorn..."

In the distance, a dazzling light shone brightly, illuminating half the sky. The three of them turned around hastily and saw that the group of people had already rushed onto the jade steps. It was obvious that they had triggered the magic circle. On the jade steps that looked like a ladder to heaven, several electric snakes appeared and were quickly rushing towards the people on the jade steps...

At this time, Gu Shiyi and Pu Yanlan had already entered the main hall. They leaned against the door, looking at everything in front of them with their eyes wide open and shocked. Before coming in, they had imagined a lot about the main hall. Maybe the real god was sitting inside, or maybe it was full of mechanisms and arrays, extremely dangerous, or maybe as the man in black said, there were magic weapons hidden here that could interfere with reincarnation, bring people back to life, and recreate their bodies. They thought a lot, but they didn't expect the scene in the hall to be like this.

This hall is extremely wide, about the same size as the square below, but it is completely occupied by a huge millstone. This terrifyingly huge millstone is made of stone, and is completely black in color. It has mottled marks on it, and you can tell at a glance that it has a long history. The appearance of this stone millstone is almost the same as the millstones used to grind grain in the countryside of the mortal world, except that it is much larger. There is no one pushing the millstone, but it is slowly turning by itself, and what slowly flows down from the gaps in the millstone is bright red blood...

Gu Shiyi and Pu Yanlan looked at each other, both with shock on their faces, unable to figure out what this millstone was used for. Gu Shiyi thought for a moment and pulled her forward.

"Now that we're here, let's go take a look..."

Pu Yanlan nodded, and the two of them walked down the jade steps and took only one step forward.
"Om..."

The magic circle in the hall was activated, and the two of them only felt a flash before their eyes, and they were already floating above the millstone.

"what……"

Gu Shidingqing took a look and pointed at the millstone and said,
"Yan'er, look... there's a person on top of this millstone..."

Pu Yanlan took a closer look and realized that the huge millstone was actually densely packed with people. They all had numb expressions, stiff movements, and were naked. There were men and women, old and young. These people were next to each other, connected to each other, so crowded that they covered the entire surface of the millstone. She was far away and didn't notice them at first glance!

These people moved forward slowly, body to body, step by step, from the outside to the inside, circle after circle, until they reached the center of the millstone, and then jumped into the grinding hole in the middle without hesitation. As the millstone rumbled, bright red blood flowed out from the gap...

The two of them were inexplicably surprised and looked at each other. Gu Shiyi raised his hand and transformed it into a huge dragon claw to grab a man with a dull expression who was about to jump into the grinding eye. The man slowly raised his head and looked at Gu Shiyi. Suddenly, his stunned eyes suddenly became clear, and then he showed a look of horror. He looked at Gu Shiyi as if he had seen something terrifying.
"what……"

He screamed, waving his hands wildly, kicking his legs, and struggling desperately. Gu Shiyi was startled and let go, causing him to fall back into the grinding eye.

"Yan'er, what's going on?"

Gu Shiyi turned around to ask Pu Yanlan, but the person behind him was gone. He looked around for her, but saw that Pu Yanlan's eyes were wide open, her face was dull, and her expression was dreamy.
"Ah...what did you say..."

She murmured, but her body had already fallen into the crowd on the millstone. Gu Shiyi was startled and quickly chased after her, reaching out to pull her back.

"Yan'er, how are you?"

"Um……"

Pu Yanlan's eyes were confused, and she knew something was wrong. Gu Shiyi thought about it and made a simple and rough move, raising his hand and slapping her.

"Snapped……"

Pu Yanlan's eyes immediately cleared up, she came to her senses, and a look of horror appeared on her face.

"Eleven, let's get out of here!"

Gu Shiyi hurriedly took her away from the huge millstone. Pu Yanlan's forehead was covered with sweat and she looked at Gu Shiyi with a strange expression.

"Eleven, you...don't have any feeling when you see the millstone?"

Gu Shiyi shook his head in bewilderment.
"What do you mean?"

Pu Yanlan raised her hand and wiped her face.
"I just looked at the millstone. I didn't see anything at first. After I looked at the numb faces for a few more times, all sorts of memories from my past and present lives suddenly emerged in my sea of ​​consciousness..."

At that moment, Pu Yanlan seemed to have returned to the small mountain village, to the childhood where she was beaten and scolded, to the boy who studied hard to change his fate, to the young man who thought he had grown up and could run for freedom, and then was forced to get married, and then escaped and fell into the dark and cold water.

"…At that moment, I seemed to be back in the cold water…"

She stayed in the water for many years. The water was cold and dark, with endless darkness. Without Eleven and the Spirit Mirror, she would never be able to get out. Her heart was filled with boundless fear and despair, and she had an idea in her mind.

"Rather than this, it is better to be destroyed... it is better to be shattered... that's it!"

After that, Pu Yanlan's mind was no longer clear, and she unconsciously wanted to join the crowd of people with dull expressions and mechanical movements, and follow them to jump into the eye of the giant millstone. It seemed that as long as she entered this magic eye, there would be no more despair and fear, and no more pain!
