Jin Doudou looked at the beautiful woman wearing a phoenix crown, somewhat confused, and said, "Why is it just the mistress? I think her temperament is enough to be worthy of this Long Night Palace."
Li Chaoyi replied: "Because this statue is too exquisite and full of... love."
"And the style of this underground palace is bold and rough, as if it was made by a man."
"More importantly, look there -"
Jin Doudou followed Li to where he was pointing and saw a thick palm print on the stone wall directly in front of the statue. Even though countless years had passed, there was still a trace of Taoism in the palm print.
That rhyme is obviously a legacy of a male with great supernatural powers.
"This palm print Daoyun seems to be guarding this underground palace and the Fengguan woman." After carefully sensing it, Jin Doudou agreed with Li Changye's judgment.
Li Chaoyi nodded and said: "There should be no mistake. This phoenix-crowned woman is most likely the lover of the owner of the Changye Palace. In other words, she is the Queen of the Changye."
"It's a pity that I haven't seen any records about the Evernight City and the Evernight Queen in any book. There is no text left in this underground palace to tell us what happened in this great night city."
Jin Doudou thought for a while and said: "The Goddess asked us to compete in the Long Night City. Does she want us to uncover the secrets buried in the Long Night City?"
Li Chaoyi shook his head and said: "Probably not. The Goddess Empress should know what happened in the Evernight City, because if even the Goddess doesn't know, then we will definitely not be able to solve it."
"It is impossible for the Goddess Empress to really send us into a strange and dangerous secret realm. Even if she wanted to, Helian Hengshan and Tang Diaolao, two of the ten strongest people in the continent, would not agree."
The girl in the red cloak was confused: "If that's the case, then why did the Goddess choose the Evernight City as the place to compete?"
Li Xianyue smiled and said: "She naturally has her own purpose for doing this. As for what the purpose is, I can't guess it yet."
"But do you think that the name of the Goddess Empress is somewhat similar to the Long Night City, including the three big cities mentioned by the old wine jar senior?"
The girl in the red cloak thought: "Twilight, long night, twilight, dusk, and day are indeed quite similar. Does the Goddess have something to do with the Long Night City?"
Li Chaoyi replied: "The Goddess Empress rose three thousand years ago, and the three cities of twilight, dusk, and daytime mentioned by the old wine jar were also built thousands of years ago. There may be some relationship between the two. .”
"However, according to relevant records, Muye City had long been destroyed before the rise of the Goddess Empress, and dusk and day had long since disappeared. From a time perspective, it seems to have nothing to do with it."
The girl in the red cloak shook her head in confusion, not wanting to think anymore.
She has never read much and is basically illiterate. She has never been good at thinking and is used to talking with her fists and swords.
Li Xiangyi no longer speculated out of thin air. More clues were needed to unlock the secrets buried in this big night city.
However, he did not forget one thing. Before entering the secret realm, Master Fengshen once told everyone that this secret realm of demons was in a period of lost years.
So far, it is not known what the relationship between this Evernight City and the Lost Years is.
Jin Doudou suddenly said: "It seems that the jade slip she is holding can be taken off."
Li went to look at the sound and saw a statue of a woman wearing a phoenix crown holding a white jade slip like mutton-fat jade in her hand. He said: "That jade slip seems to be legendary and can only be found in the outer world." The white fairy jade is not integrated with the statue, so it can indeed be taken off."
Jin Doudou tilted his head and looked at him.
Li Chaoyi smiled and said: "You found it first, go and get it. I have a hunch that the answers we want to know may be in this jade slip."
The girl in the red cloak, who had always been decisive and valiant, heard what he said and did not hesitate. She bowed three times to the statue of the Queen of the Night, then jumped up and took down the White Fairy Jade Slip.
On the surface of the jade slips, there are mysterious patterns engraved on them, which are different from the patterns on the stone door of the underground palace, but the style is the same.
Jin Doudou put a ray of spiritual thought into it and quickly said: "There is indeed a lot of information left in the jade slips."
Then she handed the jade slip to Li Xiang.
After Li Chuanyi took it, he also put in a ray of spiritual thought. After a moment, he breathed out his awe-inspiring aura, and during the day, the fairy jade slip immediately emitted a misty brilliance and turned into a picture that was constantly flowing.
…
Once upon a time, somewhere in the world, there was a country called Long Night.
The King of Long Night came from a humble background but had great ambitions. After bidding farewell to his master and going down the mountain alone, he led a group of equally humble people to seize a territory from thousands of evil spirits and establish the Kingdom of Long Night.
Ever since the establishment of the Kingdom of Everlasting Night, it has been peaceful and peaceful. The Lord of Evernight has great supernatural powers, which not only prevents scary monsters from peeking into the world, but also spreads what he has learned to the people of the country, hoping to create a heaven on earth where everyone is like a dragon.
In the Changye Kingdom, from the civil and military officials to the ordinary people, they naturally worshiped him, were grateful, and regarded him as the supreme king and father.
During one of his long journeys, King Longye brought back a young and beautiful woman and made her his queen.
Because the queen is beautiful, virtuous, and kind, she is also loved by people all over the country.
Just as the King of the Evernight and the Queen were singing and dancing in harmony with each other, and wanted to lead the Evernight Kingdom to sweep away the evil nests and move towards the dynasty, a rumor suddenly spread throughout the country.
"The queen is the evil sub-master. The king has been charmed. Please stand by your side and kill the demon master!"
This rumor spread throughout the Long Night Kingdom overnight, and even the weeds along the ancient road and the three-year-old child in the city knew about it.
I don’t know who took the lead, but countless people gathered outside the Evernight City, wanting to meet the king to distinguish between pure and dirty, good and evil.
At that time, the King of the Long Night was in seclusion to practice his strongest magical power in order to fight the evil lord, and was not allowed to leave the seclusion, so the queen had no choice but to come forward to appease her subjects.
In order to prove that she is not a demon, the queen even opened up her heart and showed her origin to everyone. However, because of her special origin and non-human body, even if her origin proved to have nothing to do with the demon, she still could not let her restless. Public approval.
Finally, at noon, no one knew who was instigating or taking the lead. The red-eyed people rushed to the palace under the banner of "Qing Jun, Save the King, Kill the Demon Queen".
Later, in addition to the five commanders who guarded the palace and the queen's personal soldiers, all the imperial guards of the royal city also joined the people. The queen and the five commanders were invincible.
In the end, all the queen's soldiers died in the battle, and the five commanders were captured after all their efforts. The queen was caught by the people, tied up in the square in front of the palace, and was to be burned to death.
The restless people, the sounds of fighting, and the queen's screams could not pass through the retreat of the Long Night King. Finally, under the scorching sun, the Long Night Queen was buried in the fire.
And when the last ray of flame dissipated, the Evernight City with the scorching sun in the sky instantly turned dim, just like the flame, which remained in the sky forever.
Then in a very short period of time, it turned into a long dark night.
The Night City begins to live up to its name.
"Is this the reason why the night is long in the upper and lower cities, and the day is dim and short?" Jin Doudou couldn't help but sigh after watching this light and shadow scene.
Li Chaoyi sighed: "This must be the reason. I really didn't expect that the sky in Long Night City would be so dark."
"Have you noticed that the headless phantoms we killed before, except for the fact that they have no heads, are actually very similar to those restless people?"
Jin Doudou nodded: "It is indeed them. It seems that something strange happened after the death of Queen Changye, which is why they became like that."
"Did the Lord of the Night do it?"
This cannot be determined for the time being. After all, as of the cutoff just now, the Lord of the Night was still in seclusion and did not know what was happening outside.
However, Li Changyue was basically certain about one thing, saying: "When you were in the lower city, did you meet a powerful swordsman wearing a black-patterned flying fish robe? He is the guardian of the lower city, and I suspect he is that One of the five captured palace commanders.”
Jin Doudou said: "I met another similar guardian, but he was not wearing a black patterned flying fish robe, but a black python robe."
"At that time, he wanted to drive all the geniuses from the Three Continents he met out of the Night City, but he was blocked by Buddha Sanwu. From what you said, he seems to be one of the five palace commanders."
"However, his face and body shape have changed to a certain extent, but his temperament matches."
Li Chaoyi said: "Perhaps in the process of agitating the people and turning into headless phantoms, the leaders of the five palaces also encountered some strange things, so that some changes occurred in them."
Jin Doudou agreed with this speculation. In their current state, they would generally not recognize the wrong person.
The Queen of the Long Night is dead, and the restless people have turned into strange headless phantoms. However, the five commanders still retain their sanity, but their realm has declined and they remain in the lower city.
It seems that a lot of things happened in this.
Li Chaoyi also told Jin Doudou about the fact that he met Feng Zhenglu, the genius of Northwest Fenghuo Continent, who was caught by the people in the lower city and almost burned to death.
He guessed that this incident was not entirely caused by the evil boy, but also had a certain connection with the burning of the queen.
This scene is so similar.
Jin Doudou agrees.
While the two were discussing, the light and shadow scene emanating from the jade slip suddenly changed again.
The entire Long Night City was still in darkness. After the Queen was burned to death, the people in the city were still restless and chaotic. However, outside the Long Night City, a dense army of evil spirits suddenly appeared and surrounded the entire Long Night City.
Among the evil army, there is a king's chariot. On top of the king's chariot, sits an extremely tall and terrifying evil demon, who is the rumored master of the evil spirits.
Next to the evil lord, stood a young and beautiful woman.
The woman was equally beautiful as the queen, but not similar.
As for the evil spirits around you, treat them with the courtesy of a minor master.
Seeing this scene, some people in the restless crowd finally woke up and realized that everyone had wronged the queen and that the queen was not an evil person.
At this moment, some people were regretful, some were afraid, and some were horrified.
The king was in seclusion, but the queen, who was the only one who could lead the Kingdom of Evernight to fight against the evil spirits, was burned to death. Even the palace guards only had five commanders left.
Now that the two evil masters are personally leading thousands of evil spirits to besiege the city, how can they resist it?
The restless crowd was in panic. Some people knelt on the ground to repent, begging the queen's soul to return and lead them to resist the evil spirits.
Someone immediately ran to release the five palace commanders who were captured and prepared to be executed at dawn next time, and asked them to lead everyone to defend the Night City.
There were also people who ran outside the King's retreat formation, wanting to ask the Supreme King to leave the retreat early in order to suppress the evil spirits and restore peace to the Night City.
The queen's soul has not returned.
But the five palace commanders shouldered their responsibilities, temporarily forgetting their hatred, and stood on the city wall to organize everyone to resist the evil spirits.
However, without the king and queen sitting in charge, who in the entire Long Night Kingdom can resist the two evil masters?
Soon the Night City was breached, and the five palace commanders had no choice but to lead everyone to temporarily separate a city on the mountainside and establish a position again.
From this, the Long Night City has two cities: upper and lower.
However, the temporary defense of the upper city was still unable to stop the continuous incoming demons. When the people in the city fell into despair.
The king is out of seclusion.
The King of Long Night walked out of the retreat and was very surprised. He did not expect that his strong and peaceful country would be invaded by the evil army overnight.
And when he learned that the queen was dead, his face turned darker than the dark night.
All the people in the city knelt down to beg for sin, and no one dared to argue.
Seeing this, Li Chaoyi and Jin Doudou were both curious about what King Changye would do.
The country and his beloved wife are all destroyed because of these people. As the supreme king, how will he deal with it?
The two of them didn't wait too long. In the picture, the King of the Night glanced coldly at all the prostrate people, then took a step forward, crossed the city wall, and came to the front of the evil army.
After about a cup of tea, all the besieged demons, including the demon lord, were wiped out. Only the demon lord, the young and beautiful woman, escaped with half his life because of the demon lord's protection before his death. Missing.
Afterwards, the King of Night returned to the upper city.
Looking at the people kneeling on the ground who were once so familiar but now strangers, King Changye said indifferently: "The people I used to protect to the death and wanted to take with me to the dynasty and to the immortal dynasty, this is how they rewarded me. .”
"My beloved wife."
"The peaceful country I built with all my heart has left me overnight."
"You tell me, what should I do?"
The whole city was silent except for the sound of countless people fighting against each other with their heads on the ground.
But this could not dissolve the coldness on the face of the King of Night.
He made a big move with his hand, and a beautiful and illusory woman condensed in the air, walking towards him with flames all over her body.
It was the soul of the queen that the people had knelt down to beg for, but could not come back.
"Husband..."
"My wife, what do you think I should do with them?"
