Song Qingqing and others understood this.
The people watching also understood this.
Many of the interrogating officials also understood this.
As a person involved, Chu Qingxiao naturally understands all this better.
He felt the eyes of everyone, but he did not answer the question immediately. Instead, he looked back at Chu Zhaozhao and others who were full of worry and nervousness.
He nodded slightly towards them, as if telling them not to worry, and then turned his attention to the young Siming of Baili Mansion who asked the question.
"Report to your lord."
"My dear, twelve years ago, my cultivation level was no more than Level 2. It was a fluke that I survived Zhuyin's siege for several months. How can I know why the Ancient God Zhuyin sealed us in the Eternal Night Realm?"
"We?" The official of Baili Mansion was keenly aware of the strangeness in Chu Qingxiao's words. He asked in a deep voice: "You mean you are not the only one trapped in the eternal night world you mentioned?"
"Yes." Chu Qingxiao did not shy away and nodded at that time: "Not only me, but the entire people in Wuling City are trapped in the Eternal Night Realm, but I am the only one alive among them, and they are all souls. "
"But neither I nor they know the fact that they are dead. Everyone has even forgotten that Wuling City was once besieged by Zhu Yin. Everyone is living in the beautiful illusion created by the ancient god Zhu Yin. , day after day, year after year.”
"It wasn't until Miss Chu Zhaozhao, Tianxuan Mountain's disciple, arrived that this false illusion was broken and I woke up."
Upon hearing this, Lu Zhaoran, the young commander of Bailiu Mansion, immediately said: "The souls of the dead? Huh! Boy, tell me, why does Ancient God Zhuyin imprison the souls of those who died in Wuling City?"
"According to records, Ancient God Zhuyin himself is the god in charge of souls. For him, the souls of living beings are excellent nourishment. If he wants to escape from the black abyss, he will imprison the souls of Wuling City and wait for the right time to devour them. It's indeed something that makes sense." But this time, before Chu Qingxiao could respond, the voice of Qiao Qingzhi, the young commander of the Tiansi Supervisory Division, rang out first.
Chu Qingxiao lowered his head, but narrowed his eyes slightly.
When the Seven Halls Trial was confirmed, Lu Sandao once mentioned that the Tianxian Division was most likely the only one among the various forces involved in the trial who would help Chu Qingxiao.
Chu Qingxiao's story was ambiguous and left room for ambiguity, just to test the reaction of everyone present.
As the presiding judge, Qiao Qingzhi obviously did not need to explain to Chu Qingxiao, and by doing so, she was sending a certain signal.
Lu Zhaoran glanced sideways at Qiao Qingzhi, who had a calm face on his side. He frowned, but still suppressed the anger in his heart and asked Chu Qingxiao again: "Okay, can you explain why in the entire Yongye Realm? You are the only one alive, and the others are all dead souls?"
Chu Qingxiao responded: "As I said, I am just a commoner, and my cultivation was weak twelve years ago. How do I know what an existence like the ancient god would think?"
"Huh? So you can't explain your own experience? How can you convince the public?" Lu Zhaoran asked with a sneer.
Lu Zhaoran made it clear that he wanted to make it difficult for Chu Qingxiao to step down, and every question he asked went straight to the point.
But before Chu Qingxiao could answer, Qiao Qingzhi's voice sounded again: "I have read the information handed over by Tianxuan Mountain. It is said that when he just left Wuling City, he met Zhou Shengzhou, the guard of Ganquan Peak in Tianxuan Mountain, in Feiyu City. Pass."
"Zhou Sheng checked his physical condition and found that he suffers from spiritual devouring disease."
"This symptom will slowly wear away the spiritual power and blood power in the patient's body, making the blood power in his body far weaker than that of ordinary people."
"In this way, when the candlelight pulls them into the eternal night realm, it is indeed possible to mistake them for souls instead of living people."
The suppressed anger in Lu Zhaoran's heart could no longer be restrained at this moment. He looked at Qiao Qingzhi with an unkind expression and said: "Qiao Siming, if I remember correctly, you should be the chief judge of this trial. Why are you doing everything for me?" Defend the thief?"
Qiao Qingzhi said without changing his expression: "Just because I am the presiding judge of this trial, I naturally have to ensure the fairness of the trial. The Supervisor of Heaven is responsible for supervising the gods in the world, and has specializations in the art. It may be possible to explain it." , isn’t it also to allow the adults present to better judge the truth or falsehood of what Chu Qingxiao said?”
Having said this, Qiao Qingzhi paused, then looked at Lu Zhaoran with a playful expression and asked: "But Mr. Lu, who cares so much about this matter, could it be that before the trial started, he had already convicted Chu Qingxiao in his heart, so he could not tolerate others. Can you give him a fair word?"
Crime before trial is a taboo in torture.
Lu Zhaoran's expression changed, and he said: "Qiao Siming, don't slander anyone. Everything you said is possible, but you still can't explain how this guy escaped from the eternal night world he talked about!"
Qiao Qingzhi showed a smile and said: "I am just stating the possibility of what he mentioned. I have never made a conclusion whether it is true or not. As for how he escaped, Mr. Lu has to ask him, not me. "
"After all, Mr. Lu and I are different. Whether he is true or false, guilty or not, I have to listen to his story before making a judgment, but I don't have Mr. Lu's ability to decide without trial."
Lu Zhaoran naturally heard the sarcasm in Qiao Qingzhi's words, but he had no way to argue. He could only vent his anger on Chu Qingxiao and look at him angrily.
Although Chu Qingxiao was unwilling to offend the big shots in front of him, at present, it seemed that Qiao Qingzhi, who represented Supervisor Tiansi, was the only one who could help him. He could only say at this moment: "Master Lu is too impatient."
"I only have one mouth, so how can I explain everything clearly in one breath? I hope you will be patient and calm. I will tell you the story of escaping from the Evernight Realm one by one."
It didn't matter that Lu Zhaoran was ridiculed by Qiao Qingzhi. At this moment, Chu Qingxiao actually dared to tease him. His face suddenly turned red and he said angrily: "Okay! Then tell me how you, a mere mortal, escaped. Sealed by the Ancient God!"
"If there is any omission, I will kill you on the spot, a liar!"
Chu Qingxiao cupped his hands and ignored Lu Zhaoran's threat, but said: "The dead souls of Wuling City and I stay in the Evernight Realm, but reincarnations continue in the Evernight Realm. About every one or two months, This reincarnation will happen once."
"Let us clear our memories of this period of time. Twelve years ago, we experienced almost a hundred reincarnations."
"Hmph! Reincarnation?" Lu Zhaoran obviously couldn't wait to operate on Chu Qingxiao. As soon as Chu Qingxiao said these words, Lu Zhaoran interrupted Chu Qingxiao: "Boy, the more you talk, the more mysterious you are! Since the ancient god has imprisoned you, what else do you want to do? If I want to eat you as food, I can just feed you, so why go to all the trouble to let you fall into the so-called reincarnation?"
Chu Qingxiao was silent when he heard the words, but turned his head and looked pitifully at Qiao Qingzhi beside him.
Qiao Qingzhi was stunned. She probably didn't expect that the suspect under interrogation would dare to ask her, the chief interrogator, for help in such a big way.
Qiao Qingzhi had an inexplicable feeling of being used as a spearman by Chu Qingxiao, but when she thought of what Grand Commander had told her before leaving, Qiao Qingzhi rolled her eyes, but still said at that time: "The ancient god is very weak, that's why he needs to swallow The souls of the people in Wuling City serve as nourishment."
"It is precisely because of his weakness that he cannot rely on brute force to imprison tens of thousands of dead souls, so he needs to create an illusion that everyone is living happily so that they cannot resist."
"But the longer the illusion lasts, the more various accumulations will be produced. Just ask anyone who is good at this method to explain this. Therefore, in order to maintain the stability in the eternal night world and reduce the burden of Zhuyin , reincarnation is necessary.”
Lu Zhaoran, who was already secretly annoyed, heard Qiao Qingzhi defend Chu Qingxiao again. He could no longer contain the anger in his heart. At that time, he slapped the table and said: "Qiao Siming! I don't think you are here to interrogate the prisoner today?" Is it to help him get out of jail?"
Qiao Qingzhi blinked and said, "What are you talking about, Mr. Lu? He is not a prisoner in the first place, just a suspect."
"We are not here to convict him or exonerate him. What we have to do is to judge whether he is guilty through evidence. Mr. Lu is so eager to convict him. I would like to ask Mr. Lu if he is guilty. What are you afraid of?"
Lu Zhaoran was stunned for a moment and opened his mouth to argue, but for a moment he couldn't come up with a reason.
Qiao Qingzhi was very satisfied with Lu Zhaoran's performance. She smiled proudly, then turned to look at Chu Qingxiao, and glared at him fiercely, as if to warn Chu Qingxiao not to be too presumptuous.
Chu Qingxiao scratched his head, naturally he didn't want to offend his only support, so he restrained himself a little, looked at Lu Zhaoran and said: "Master Lu, do you still want to listen, how did I escape?"
Hearing this, Lu Zhaoran looked at Chu Qingxiao and said, "Okay! I want to hear how you can escape!"
Chu Qingxiao took a deep breath, and everyone around him looked sideways at Chu Qingxiao, either solemnly or curiously. They all knew that whether this answer was good or not would determine Chu Qingxiao's life or death.
Chu Qingxiao was silent for a while, and then said: "It was Xizhou Jianjia who saved me."
