It's the beauty that brings disaster. I'm also desperate.

Obviously, I was planning to go to the Rain Master Temple that I had visited during the day, but because all the buildings in the city collapsed into ruins, I lost my way and went to the wrong city.

The shrine in the southern city is guarded by the Rain Master, while the shrine in the western city is guarded by Xiao Ji...

this moment.

Sheng Sheng also understood completely that in order to enter the four major divine palaces, one needs their respective immortal official orders.

But no one knows what this Immortal Official Order is and where it came from.

Of course, getting lost is a small problem. The big problem at this moment is...

Although the words used were exactly the same as those of the Rain Master Shrine, the guards before them were all dry bones... so dry that they looked like skeletons that would completely fall apart if poked with a finger.

Their bones are gray, with countless dark yellow spots remaining on them.

Moreover, the skeleton is incomplete. Except for important parts such as the skull and hip bones, other parts such as ribs, toe bones and even arm bones are generally missing.

It was like a skeleton that had been there for tens of thousands of years, and was protected by some force so that it did not fall apart completely, but it was already withered beyond recognition. At this moment, seeing someone trying to break into the shrine, a pile of broken bones was forced to move...

This situation is not unique to the few guards in front of Sheng Sheng. Looking at the entire Xiaoji Temple, all the guards are like this.

Also.

They also saw four slightly strange skeletons sitting cross-legged in the four corners of the shrine.

The four skeletons were in a relatively good state of decay, at least they were not missing any limbs, but they were still dry, so dry that even the joints between the bones were gray and black.

The dark yellow bone marrow once flowed through these cracks, leaving behind traces...

Xia Li and Si Xin looked at each other, then politely excused themselves and left.

Although these withered bones were tattered, the two sisters felt that the guards were still strong and posed a huge threat to them. The most important thing was the four withered bones sitting cross-legged at the four corners of the shrine, which were extremely dangerous!

no doubt

Those four dry bones are the Taiyi monks of the seventh realm.

Four Taiyi guard the four corners of the palace, which should be the standard configuration of the palace guards... Of course, there must be Daluo as well, but the Daluo on the side of Xiaoji Palace seemed to be hiding there and the two sisters could not sense it for a while.

——The four major shrines use the four plus one defense mode.

This shows how extravagant the Shengxia Dynasty was during the Emperor Taiwang era. Four Daluo immortals who were sent to guard the gate died, and as many as sixteen Taiyi immortals died.

From their bone structure, we can confirm that they are all human.

It's so extravagant!

This time when Shengsheng came to investigate at night, he also found a clue.

The secret stone tablet did not have the same special reaction to the Xiaoji Temple in front of it as it did during the day. I don’t know if it’s because of the wrong time, or if it has nothing to do with the Xiaoji Temple itself...

This cannot be confirmed now.

Shengsheng planned to go to the four major temples after dawn to judge certain things.

After making up their minds, the two sisters stopped running around, even though there was nothing around... but there was no guarantee that running around wouldn't trigger some difficult-to-deal-with incidents.

In this dead silent ancient holy city, they snuggled up to each other until dawn...

When the dawn light appeared in the east, the thick white fog dissipated.

At that time, the city was prosperous again!

This was consistent with Xia Li's guess last night. With this guess in mind, she went to the street she had wandered around yesterday afternoon and observed at the same time and place...

same.

same.

All, all are the same!

All people, all events, every conversation, every man and woman who talked and smiled as they walked by... including the angle at which the sunlight cast a shadow through a stall, were all accurate to the millimeter!

All of this is a repeat of yesterday's scene.

At this moment, Shengsheng finally confirmed all his guesses.

Suddenly, an inexplicable palpitation arose in my heart...

"Sister, Chan'er feels so sad and a little painful."

At this time Si Xin suddenly spoke.

She held Xia Li's hand tightly, interlocking her fingers with his, as if trying to grab some power to soothe her soul from it.

"Don't be afraid, Chan'er. This encounter is indeed bizarre, but it's not too dangerous."

The only danger.

I am worried that they will also fall into this endless cycle.

As she said this, Sheng Sheng used force with her five fingers, trying to convey warmth to the other person through this action.

Of course, she was trying to comfort her sister.

But I also feel this discomfort deep down in my heart...

now.

Xia Li and Si Xin both thought that this ancient capital had been repeating itself endlessly like a curse for 30,000 years, and they felt uneasy about the tragic fate of their ancestors who were imprisoned here.

I didn't think about it as a blood relationship.

This afternoon.

In fact, it was the ninth day since they left the imperial capital, Chiyang City.

......

"Sister, it is finally confirmed that this stone slab is only related to the Rain Master Temple, right?"

"Ok!"

Shengsheng fiddled with the secret stone slab that had grown to half the size of a palm since the first night fell, and nodded in response.

During the day.

The slate will not reproduce any of the sounds or images of the final moment.

"...We have to find a way to enter the Rain Master Temple. This should be the only clue to exploring the Scarlet Ancient Abyss."

The girl's tone was a little serious.

They have been in Yanzheng City for about half a month, and it has been proven that no matter what method they use, whether it is day or night... they cannot get out of here.

You can walk at most a hundred miles from the four main city gates, and after taking the next step, you will return to the main road in front of the city gate.

"But even if Chan'er and sister join forces, they can't defeat those guards."

Si Xin also had a sad face.

The shrine is heavily guarded, the same day and night, and it is extremely difficult to sneak in.

"If I had known, I shouldn't have stunned Jiang Xuan and asked her to come with us. After all, she is also a cultivator who is about to reach the peak of Daluo."

Si Xin felt a little regretful.

I should not have thought about eating alone in the first place. Happiness is better shared with others than happiness alone. The ancients were right!

Shengsheng didn't reply, but just rolled her eyes at her sister...

But seeing that he was truly upset, I felt a little pity for him.

She couldn't help but speak to comfort him.

Chapter 41: Outside the Rain Master Palace

"Don't even think about it. Even if Yingyingying comes along, she may not be able to get in. Chan'er, have you forgotten?"

Shengsheng comforted her like this.

"...If you think carefully, over the past thousands of years, how many Daluo monks have set foot in the Central Region and never returned."

"Eh? Sister, are they all trapped in Yanzheng City, so..."

Having said that, Si Xin shuddered.

Not willing to finish talking.

"impossible!"

"The Ancient Abyss of Feijin has only reappeared recently. Before, those cultivators wanted to enter Yanzheng City but had no way to get in..."

Shengsheng analyzed the situation calmly.

In fact, I was also very panicked, but fortunately the situation was indeed paradoxical to the known conditions.

She finally calmed down halfway through the analysis.

"Hmm... Chan'er, actually I have a discovery, which can also be regarded as a guess."

"What conjecture?"

"Do you think this slate could be the 'Rain Master's Order'?"

Hear the words.

Si Xin was stunned for a moment, and thought about it seriously...It's true, the possibility is not small.

They have tried it many times. During the day, this stone slab will make no sound in the city. At night, it will guide Xia Li to watch the scene of Yanzheng City being swallowed by the Feijin Ancient Abyss 30,000 years ago.

Last night, Shengsheng was bleeding from all seven orifices.

She forced herself to read further, but because her soul began to disintegrate, Huanchan immediately chose to close the stone slab, interrupting her exploration.

Because I read more later...

Sheng Sheng saw someone holding a stone tablet that looked the same as the secret stone tablet before it changed, rushing towards the Xiao Ji Temple, shouting, "Masters, save me, I have the Xiao Ji Order! I have the Xiao Ji Order!"... This scene left a deep impression on Sheng Sheng.

At that moment, she suddenly remembered that "Liqi Old Years Chronicle" recorded that the secret stone tablet was brought out from the four great temples by Queen Nuwa.

It doesn’t say which Queen Nuwa it is here, but it is most likely Emperor Taiwang Cangyou!

And Cang You might have used some means to predict in advance that Feijin Ancient Abyss would devour Yanzheng City, so she took the stone tablet away early...

On the surface, this secret stone tablet is just a piece of recording stone tablet engraved with desolate runes.

Actually.

This thing is also the order to enter the shrine!

It has the same function as the tiger talisman and military talisman.

There are four such stone tablets (commands), corresponding to the four major palaces of the Queen of Gods, the Master of Rain, Xiao Ji, and Da Ji. This speculation, combined with what I saw and heard last night, is very likely to be correct...

Shengsheng decided to go to Yushi Palace to give it a try.

of course.

She didn't just hand the slate to the guards for inspection. This was the only clue to whether the two sisters could get out of Yanzheng City! They were no match for the guards. If the slate was forcibly detained or something unexpected happened, the guards would suddenly arrest them.

There is really no way to reason.

and so.

Shengsheng wants to use a clever method.

During the repeated attempts over the past half month, she discovered that the guards of the shrine would not disappear into dust at night like other people in the city... They also guarded the shrine at night, and anyone who entered the vicinity of the shrine would be stopped and questioned.

But one thing is crucial.

After nightfall, or the second day falls...

The memories of the Shrine Guardians will be reset!

However, if you step into the shrine for the second time during the same day and night, the guards' attitude will change drastically. Specifically, if Sheng Sheng gives you a look or a slightly wrong expression, they will arrest you.

Between this.

Shengsheng decided to go to the Rain Master Temple to test it at dusk and nightfall.

At the end of the evening, they would hand over the slate to observe the other party's attitude. If there were any changes, they could take it back or respond immediately... because when night fell, the memories of the shrine guards would be reset, and the other party would think they had just arrived.

The two sisters discussed it and felt that this method was reliable.

After they felt that nothing had been missed, they began to wait for the transition from day to night.

......
