Hearing Xue Tianqing ask this, the woman couldn't help but smile bitterly, and then pointed to the ground.
It turns out that the woman discovered the existence of the underground cave not long after she turned into a soul, but she never dared to go deep because of the unknown mana fluctuations in it.
It stands to reason that after a person dies, the underworld will immediately send someone to seize the soul.
But for some unknown reason, after the woman died, she never saw the evil spirits coming, so she became a lonely ghost wandering around the palace.
After wandering for hundreds of years, the woman was finally driven by curiosity and entered the passage that could not be broken even in snow or clear weather.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she entered it, an indescribable force swept towards her. The woman knew something was wrong, but she tried to escape but it was too late, and was eventually knocked away.
The woman originally thought she was doomed, but who would have thought that in the end, instead of losing her soul, she became a disease.
After hearing this, Xue Tianqing suddenly raised her head: "When I was in the cave just now, you were by the side?"
Seeing the woman nodding, Xue Tianqing became even more surprised as to why she didn't notice it at all.
Looking at Xue Tianqing's expression, the woman smiled: "If I don't want you to find out, even if you are the current Jade Emperor, you won't be able to feel my existence."
Xue Tianqing rolled her eyes: "I don't know your name yet."
"Jin Muyao, I am the maid of the last king of Jialan. I died in the rebellion."
Jin Muyao's words stunned Xue Tianqing: Didn't he say that King Jialan is a monk? Why is there a palace maid?
Jin Muyao explained that although a monk is the king of Jialan Kingdom, there are still maids serving him. There are not only maids in the Jialan Palace, but the king also has concubines.
It's just that these concubines can only serve in bed, but they can't give birth to children.
Seeing Xue Tianqing's eyes opening wider and wider, Jin Muyao smiled faintly: "Why else would they want to be the masters of a country?"
"Could it be that, apart from using the name of Buddhism, Jialan Country does nothing different from ordinary countries?"
"I heard that the founding king of Jialan Kingdom was indeed a monk who abstained from the five kinds of meat and three kinds of food. But I don't know when the palace began to secretly search for concubines and maids from all over the country."
Hearing this, Xue Tianqing immediately started to gossip: "Since there are women in the palace, are there any eunuchs?"
"Never heard of it, at least we didn't at that time."
"So Jialan Country is actually very chaotic, more chaotic than ordinary countries, right?"
Seeing Jin Muyao nodding, Xue Tianqing sighed: "It seems that Jialan's subjugation is his own fault."
Because she was just an ordinary palace maid, Jin Muyao knew very little about Jialan's political affairs.
Xue Tianqing asked for a long time, but found that there was nothing useful anymore, so she could only change the topic to the dragon's breath.
Jin Muyao also knew very little about what the dragon's breath was. He only knew that it was related to the unknown area in the crypt.
In Jin Muyao's view, it was not a dragon's breath, but rather a kind of catharsis, a kind of catharsis similar to the anger that has nowhere to go.
Whenever the dragon's breath occurs, there will be an extremely depressing atmosphere in the underground cave. I don't know where the breath comes from, but it makes people feel heavy.
Xue Tianqing was about to ask again, but felt her eyes light up and then disappear.
Seeing Xue Tianqing disappearing, Jin Muyao also reacted and immediately ducked to the southeast of the Main Hall.
Although she was not slowing down, she was still a step too late. When she arrived, the golden light was gradually disappearing, enveloping Xue Tianqing.
Upon seeing this, Jin Muyao suddenly rushed forward, reaching out to hold Xue Tianqing, but in the end, she passed directly through the figures of Jin Guang and Xue Tianqing.
In a daze, she seemed to feel that she was a living person, while Xue Tianqing was an illusory soul.
Looking at the place where Xue Tianqing disappeared, Jin Muyao stamped her feet: "It's so easy to find someone you can count on, why is it gone like this!"
Besides, Xue Tianqing, he understood what was going on when the golden light just lit up, so he rushed into it as soon as possible.
Just as he entered the golden light, Xue Tianqing felt the surroundings begin to brighten, and when he came to his senses, he was already in a secret room.
Xue Tianqing looked carefully and found that the secret room was not big, only about two feet in diameter. The ground, roof and walls were all made of huge stones.
There is a shrine on the wall on one side of the secret room, with a spiritual tablet on it.
Although the handwriting on the spiritual tablet was clear, Xue Tianqing did not recognize any of it, because these words were the same as those seen in the underground cave earlier. They were ancient writings.
Seeing that there was nothing else except the shrine and the spiritual tablet, Xue Tianqing walked around the four walls of the secret room to see if there was any other way out.
After wandering around for a long time, Xue Tianqing found nothing except a hole the size of a finger on the wall facing the shrine.
The hole is not deep, but it has been carefully polished. It looks like it is used to insert things, but it seems that there is nothing that can be inserted into the hole in the room that is almost empty except for the shrine.
Xue Tianqing retreated to a corner and looked at the secret room again. After a long time, her eyes fell on the shrine.
Before arriving at the shrine, Xue Tianqing leaned down and looked carefully, but did not find anything unusual.
Then he looked up at the spiritual place and nodded slightly.
He took two steps back and bowed to the spiritual throne: "Senior, I am in trouble today, so I will use your spiritual throne to atone for my sins."
After speaking, he walked to the shrine in two steps, grabbed the spiritual tablet and crushed it to pieces.
When Xue Tianqing opened his hand again, as sawdust fell one after another, a green jade rod appeared in his palm.
Xue Tianqing looked at the jade stick and smiled softly, then took a few steps to the opposite side and inserted it into the small hole.
I thought that the door to the secret room would open next, but after waiting for a long time, there was no movement: Could it be that I guessed wrong?
Thinking of this, Xue Tianqing took out the jade stick again, turned it with his hand and looked at it carefully. After turning more than half a circle, I was stunned because there was a nine-tailed sky fox carved on the jade stick!
The portrait of the nine-tailed sky fox is small, but lifelike. It doesn't feel like it has been carved when touched by hand. This makes Xue Tianqing very curious: how on earth it was carved on.
Seeing the nine-tailed sky fox, Xue Tianqing thought of the white fox spirit. Fast forward more than 20 years, and I don’t know what has happened to her who proclaimed herself in the underground fairy palace.
When Xue Tianqing was in a daze, her eyes seemed to blur, because the nine-tailed sky fox on the jade stick seemed to move. But when he looked carefully, Tianhu was still the same.
Seeing that the jade rod didn't work, Xue Tianqing simply took out the magic iron, and with a thought, turned it into an iron rod that was about the same size as the round hole but much longer, and then stretched it into the hole.
But then, something unexpected happened to Xue Tianqing. No matter how much the divine iron was stretched, it seemed that it could not reach the bottom of the round hole.
It shouldn't be, the round hole is not deep, only half a foot at most. But now the Divine Iron has been extended for at least ten feet, so why hasn't it reached the end?
Thinking of this, Xue Tianqing took out the magic iron again and put his eyes to the round hole to look carefully. In the end, he saw the bottom of the hole at a glance. There was something fishy about this round hole.
Thinking of this, Xue Tianqing made the divine iron even thinner, and then slowly stretched it in under his gaze.
At the beginning, there was nothing strange about Shente.
But when it reached two-thirds of the way into the round hole, it seemed to have stopped and could no longer move forward. However, Xue Tianqing was clearly still sending the divine iron inside steadily.
In the past, Xue Tianqing might have been confused, but after experiencing the Jade Purifying Ping disaster, he came to understand what was going on: there was a strange space inside the round hole that violated common sense of physics!
After understanding this, Xue Tianqing secretly rejoiced. Just now she wanted to smash the surrounding walls with a stick. If that were the case, I don’t know what would happen.
It's just that although no accident has happened now, being trapped here is not a problem. How can I get out of this damn place?
Looking at the round hole in front of her, Xue Tianqing had the urge to go in and check it out in person, but she resisted it later.
He was not sure whether this place was the same as in the Jade Purifying Vase. If he really went there for hundreds of years, he didn't know what would happen.
After wandering around in confusion but still finding nothing, Xue Tianqing came to the shrine again: If there are places like this around the secret room, what is the purpose of the people who built the secret room?
A spiritual place? Not so!
If it is not a spiritual position, what else can it be?
Thinking of this, Xue Tianqing turned her eyes to the jade stick in her hand: Could it be this thing?
But soon, he shook his head again: This is just an ordinary jade stick. Even if it has the image of a nine-tailed sky fox on it, it is still an ordinary jade stick.
The reason why the person who built the secret chamber sealed it in the spiritual throne may be because the jade rod is the beloved thing of the owner of the spiritual throne.
It's not a spiritual throne or a jade rod, so what's the purpose of building this secret room?
Is it a shrine?
Thinking of this, Xue Tianqing touched the shrine again, and with the last force, it shattered into pieces.
Seeing that there was nothing but debris on the ground, Xue Tianqing scratched her head in confusion: Didn't you just use too much force and shatter the things inside?
Thinking of this, he squatted down and scratched the ground with a jade stick to see if there was anything else among the debris.
However, after searching for a long time, except for the fragments of the shrine, there was nothing else on the ground.
Seeing this, Xue Tianqing became more and more puzzled: Who was enshrined in the secret room, why did he spend so much time building this secret room, and how could he leave?
And the most important point is, what kind of power can bring me here instantly? According to the current level of cultivation, even if the Jade Emperor comes in person, it is impossible for him to just throw himself to one place, right?
When she was stunned, Xue Tianqing glanced at the jade stick in her hand unconsciously, her expression blank.
If I remember correctly, what I was holding just now was the other end where the image of Tianhu was. Why did it reach the end of my hand now?
Thinking of this, Xue Tianqing took a closer look at the image of the Sky Fox on the jade stick, only to find that it still seemed to be the same as before: Could it be that he had inadvertently turned the jade stick around?
After pondering for a long time, Xue Tianqing suddenly raised the jade stick high: "Whether you are a human or a god, come out now. If not, I will smash the jade stick immediately!"
