I'm not a psychopath!

Chapter 224 Undead

He couldn't help but start to doubt. After all, the environment he was in was unusual - he was in a golden coffin in the underworld, and next to him was the body of a mysterious woman, but she was pretty...

"Pooh, pooh, pooh! What are you thinking about!" Jiang Qing quickly shook his head and drove these distracting thoughts out of his mind.

It seems that I was indeed too nervous and there was something wrong with my consciousness.

"Relax...relax..." He began to hypnotize himself, trying to relax his body and mind. "Restore your energy first, then consider other things."

This time, his main consciousness retained a trace of clarity, which was used specifically to monitor his physical condition.

He entered a meditative state again, but remained alert in his mind.

"Huh...Huh..." That abnormal feeling appeared again, but this time, Jiang Qing's hair stood up.

He was sure that it was not his own breathing that was disordered; he clearly felt that it was the female corpse lying next to him.

She is actually breathing!!
This discovery shocked Jiang Qing, and his first reaction was vigilance and fear.

But then, curiosity was aroused.

Who is this mysterious woman? Why can her body remain so perfect in this golden coffin and even breathe?
He began to carefully observe the breathing rhythm of the female corpse, trying to find some clues from it.

He found that the female corpse's breathing was very weak, almost imperceptible, but real.

However, the breathing rhythm was a little abnormal, as if there was some strange rhythm.

Jiang Qing knew that the most important thing for ancient Qigong practitioners was breathing method. Breathing method is not just as simple as breathing. With every breath a person takes, the breath in the body interacts with the heaven and earth.

Through a special breathing rhythm, you can not only absorb spiritual energy, but also enhance your physical fitness and combat effectiveness.

Jiang Qing suddenly realized that this might be an opportunity, and he began to try to synchronize his breathing with the female corpse.

Lying sideways, the chest of the female corpse beside him rose and fell slightly... Well, actually, he began to doubt now that the person lying in the coffin might not be a corpse.

The main thing is that the other party looked like he was just asleep.

Not only was there nothing abnormal in appearance, there was no corpse odor, and there was even a faint body odor.

Sure enough, Jiang Qing soon felt that he had recovered enough strength. "It's about 30% more efficient than normal breathing."

Thirty percent. This is an astonishing number. A slight mistake can lead to a huge mistake. How outrageous is thirty percent?

Looking at the symbol between the girl's eyebrows, Jiang Qing stretched out his finger as if possessed.

Click it gently.

Lightly touching the symbol, suddenly, a powerful stream of information flooded into his mind. It was an ancient memory, the story of the woman's life, and her connection with these armors.

It turned out that the woman's father was once a powerful monarch who ruled a vast kingdom.

The king, a master of ancient spells, created these undead armors to protect his kingdom and his people.

However, a sudden disaster struck and the entire kingdom was reduced to ruins overnight. She used up her last bit of strength to seal the armor and her daughter here, hoping that one day someone would be able to unseal them.

Jiang Qing didn't know what kind of disaster it was, because the "female corpse" had no memory of it and she was sealed in advance.

All we know is that the disaster will be horrific, and after one night, everyone will be wiped out from the world.

"How did this coffin appear in the underworld?"

Just as Jiang Qing was deeply immersed in thinking about the unknown disaster, he suddenly felt someone was watching him.

His body froze, and an unprecedented intuition told him that the gaze came from beside him. He slowly turned his head, and sure enough, it was the female corpse.

This mysterious woman opened her eyes at some point.

Her eyes were clear and deep, like the brightest stars in the night sky, twinkling with an elusive light.

Her eyes wandered around, as if she was adapting to the sudden change in environment. Finally, her gaze fell on Jiang Qing's face.

Their eyes met, and time seemed to freeze at this moment. Jiang Qing felt an indescribable feeling in his heart. He was surprised at the woman's sudden awakening, and felt an inexplicable intimacy.

The woman blinked her eyes, as if she finally realized her situation. She raised her head slightly and tried to sit up, but the long period of stillness made her movements seem a little stiff.

"You... who are you?" The woman's voice was weak and hoarse. It was obvious that her throat was a little uncomfortable due to not speaking for a long time.

Jiang Qing quickly adjusted his mood. He knew that now was not the time to panic. He gently replied, "My name is Jiang Qing. I came here by accident and found you."

There was a trace of confusion in the woman's eyes. She looked around at the scattered bronze armor and the empty hall, as if she was trying to recall something.

"Where...is this place?" she asked, with a hint of trembling in her voice.

Jiang Qing replied softly: "This is the Yama Palace in the underworld. I don't really know why we are here, but I think we can definitely find a way out."

The woman was silent for a moment, then she nodded slightly, as if accepting the fact.

She looked at Jiang Qing again, with a hint of determination in her eyes.

"Please take me away from here." She begged. Although her voice was weak, it revealed an unyielding will. "My name is... Yaoguang."

Jiang Qing nodded slightly. Yaoguang... sounds pretty nice.

"You...can you see me?" Yaoguang asked suddenly, with a hint of uncertainty in her voice.

Jiang Qing nodded and smiled: "Of course, I'm not blind."

Yaoguang smiled slightly, but her smile could not hide her worry: "My father once said that if I am sealed, no one can see me or hear me unless there is a destined person."

Jiang Qing's heart moved. Could it be that he was the destined person?

"What do you mean destined person? I have a family, and my little Sui is still waiting for me!"

"Is that so?"

Jiang Qing turned his head and looked at her again. I am a gentleman and I will never be lustful!

“Well, not necessarily.”

Yaoguang:?
Jiang Qing didn't ask any more questions, but became more determined to take Yaoguang away from here.

"We must find a way out," Jiang Qing said in a deep voice, "Although this place is temporarily safe, the underworld is definitely not a place to stay for long.

Those armors outside are supposed to protect you, right? If you show up, they won't attack me, right?"

"Ok!"

Yaoguang nodded in agreement. Although she had just woken up, her noble temperament and innate intelligence allowed her to quickly adapt to the current situation.

"Although I don't know the situation here, my father left me some memories." Yaoguang said, she closed her eyes, as if recalling something, "I remember there is an ancient spell, maybe, maybe..."

"Maybe what?"

"Maybe you can remove the seal on me, but I forgot... and the seal on my body hasn't been removed yet, so I still can't move my body."

Jiang Qing: "Forgot..."

Oh shit, could this be Qin Xiaosui No. 2?

Her body still can't move, doesn't that mean she won't resist no matter what I do now? Jiang Qing:? ?

Why am I thinking this?

Jiang Qing frowned deeply, these thoughts popping up as if out of control.

There is something weird about this woman!
"It doesn't matter if you can't move, I'll just carry you out, you can think about it slowly." Jiang Qing was about to push open the coffin lid, "By the way, I'll take you as a hostage when I get out later.

Anyway, those armors are used to protect you, so they won't dare to act rashly.

We can talk about other things after we get out."

Yaoguang saw him push the coffin lid open a crack, and immediately became anxious, and said quickly: "Stop, they don't have very high intelligence.

If you go out, you will be chopped into pieces."

"clatter--"

The coffin lid closed heavily and Jiang Qing lay down again.

"I think so too. It's better to take a long-term view." Jiang Qing coughed and asked, "Do you have a way to get rid of the other party's armor?"

"Of course, if I can remove the seal."

"That is to say, our top priority now is to solve the seal problem..."

Jiang Qing pondered for a while, and suddenly said:
"Oh, right, there are many symbols carved on the outside of your golden coffin, which are very similar to the symbols on your forehead. I just tapped your forehead, and then you woke up."

"Symbol?" Yaoguang said she knew nothing.

It seems that these symbols were left behind after she was put into the coffin, which means that the king left the secret method to unlock the coffin outside.

Instead of giving it to her daughter?

Well, it actually makes sense. She was lying in the coffin, naturally waiting for the right time to be born, and she couldn't know about the outside world while lying in the coffin.

Therefore, it was designed from the beginning to be opened by outsiders.

So I passed the test?
Jiang Qing was a little confused. This coffin must not be openable by everyone.

"So that's how it is..." Jiang Qing quickly understood that this space was behind the throne of Yama.

In other words, the person truly responsible for the test should be King Yama. Only after passing Yama's test will one be qualified to open the golden coffin.

Just for some reason.

Even the underworld was shattered, and the ghosts and gods in the underworld were nowhere to be found.

He was lucky to have found a bargain.

He also had some guesses as to why this coffin appeared in the underworld.

This coffin is in the underworld. The country must have suffered an extremely terrible disaster at that time, so much so that it had to send living people to the underworld to pretend to be dead in order to escape.

He slowly pushed open the lid of the coffin and stood up again. The bronze armored warriors seemed to have sensed the movement and immediately turned towards him, but they still did not attack.

“There are many densely packed symbols carved on the outside of your golden coffin, which should be the formula to unlock the seal on you.

But that is not the language of our time, I can only understand part of it.

In this way, you open your sea of ​​consciousness, and I will transmit it to you in the form of spirit."

"it is good."

As segments of obscure symbols were transmitted to Yaoguang's sea of ​​consciousness, the princess in the golden coffin seemed to react, and her body began to radiate a soft light.

After Jiang Qing finished transmitting, she closed her eyes and her eyelashes trembled slightly, probably digesting the information.

About a quarter of an hour.

"Okay."

Jiang Qing opened the coffin without saying a word and stood up.

The moment Jiang Qing appeared, all the men in bronze armor looked over. There was a cold light in their hands, and they seemed to be shouting with their mouths open.

"kill!"

At this moment, Yaoguang frowned slightly and raised her foot to walk out of the coffin. Perhaps because her joints had not been exercised for a long time, she lost her balance when her foot landed on the ground and fell violently to the ground.

Jiang Qing: ...

Yaoguang's face also turned a little red, but now was not the time to be embarrassed. She supported herself with her hands, climbed on the wall of the coffin, and began to recite obscure spells.

Jiang Qing discovered that the moment they heard the spell, the hostility of these bronze armors disappeared.

Instead, he felt a sense of relief and joy, and the bronze armor began to disintegrate.

Rays of light lingered on the armor, pulling out the indestructible armor like pulling out wool.

As the spell was chanted, the light in the hall became brighter and brighter, and the armor began to gradually dissipate, turning into starlight that floated in the air.

……

Qin Xiaosui touched the light circle released by the bronze bell, and instantly, the bell was shining with golden light.

Everyone then discovered that there were pictures engraved on the clock. The explosive force did not harm Qin Xiaosui and the others, and the five of them were unharmed.

However, these points of light floated around them, lingering and interweaving into pale pictures and texts, presenting a piece of ancient history before their eyes.

In ancient times, there existed a dynasty called Eternity. In this eternal kingdom, lived a mysterious group called the Undead.

The reason why the undead are immortal is not because they are immortal in terms of life, but because of time. Time has stopped for all people and no longer flows.

Therefore, not only can their lives be frozen forever, but no force can cause harm to them and they are immune to all attacks.

They live forever in their time, and time for the undead is the past, a period of time that has not been harmed and does not exist in the future.

In the long river of time, the past is certain and cannot be changed. You cannot change the past from the future.

This is a force at the level of cause and effect. Unless someone is powerful enough to span the entire river of time, the undead will never be destroyed.

"The Immortal Clan..." Baili Ye murmured, "Since ancient times, kings have been pursuing immortality. Even the most powerful cultivators are crying and pursuing the realm of immortality, just for the sake of immortality.

The Undead actually possess such a secret method, why have I never heard of it before?"

"Maybe there's a fault." Luo Shui said casually, and several people continued to look down.

Although the time of the Undead is forever frozen and they cannot practice cultivation, this characteristic is enough to make the Eternal Kingdom a divine kingdom, revered and yearned for by countless living beings.

However, all things are interdependent and mutually exclusive. The more dazzling something is, the more coveted it is.

Someone discovered that the time-stopping ability of the undead was not innate, but acquired.
