The dim indoor lights suddenly brightened.
A man in white with long hair and a handsome face stood in front of the two people, and behind him stood two silent men in gray clothes and iron masks.
"Miss Ge Qing, I am the master of Yi Lanshan. I wonder if she is here for the contract."
Ye Qing carefully looked at the man who claimed to be his master. He saw blond hair and blue eyes, and his eyebrows were as confident and proud as a sword: "Are you the mountain master?"
"The girl came here alone and didn't care about her own safety at all. This courage impressed Yi." Yi Lanshan did not answer Ye Qing's question, but said directly: "Do you really think that as a college student, you can Protect yourself here?"
"Never." Ye Qing replied calmly: "Since the Mountain Lord knows what I am here for, then if you have any requests or opinions, we can discuss them. This is the meaning of the Elders Council. I hope the Mountain Lord understands."
Yi Lanshan laughed loudly and said: "The West Market and the Presbyterian Church have lived next to each other for hundreds of years, and they respect each other. This Shadow City has also existed for hundreds of years and has never changed. It may be difficult to change it overnight."
As he spoke, he clapped his hands gently, and a person behind him immediately entered a wooden box that had been prepared: "Please open it, girl."
Ye Qing took it and handed it to Ge Sheng. Ge Sheng opened it and saw that there was a red rope knot, which was made of an extremely thin red silk thread. It was densely packed into a knot, which was the size of a fist. It had no head and no head. tail.
"This knot is called the Mystery of Thousand Secrets. No one has been able to open it since its birth. If the girl can solve it, then everything will be according to the girl's words."
"To be honest, the matter in the Shadow City is like this knot. There is no beginning or tail. There are tens of millions of things inside. Don't act rashly. This dead knot is the only solution."
Ge Sheng handed the knot to Ye Qing again. Ye Qing looked at the knot in his hand and asked confusedly: "Are you serious?"
"The Lord of the Mountain makes a promise, and he never lies."
Ye Qing smiled happily: "Please forgive Qing'er for being rude."
After saying this, he pointed it as a sword, and ice-blue rays of light shot out from his fingertips.
One stroke down.
As if the blade of ice and snow were submerged in the red lotus flame, Ye Qing pursed his lips and cut off the tightest knot with his fingers.
Just like a spring breeze blooming flowers, the knot instantly breaks into thousands of pieces and scatters like fiery red petals.
The knot is untied immediately.
Yi Lanshan remained silent. He glanced behind him slightly and was about to speak.
Ye Qing stretched out his hand to a man in gray clothes behind Yi Lanshan and said with a smile: "The matter in the Film Market is like this knot. The reason why it has not been solved for so long is that no one can imagine it being so vigorous and resolute."
"What do you think, Mountain Master?"
Yi Lanshan's face changed several times, and finally he turned back to look at the man in gray clothes and the iron mask, and knelt down on one knee: "Ye Ge is not doing his job well, please punish me, Master of the Mountain."
The man in the iron mask waved his hand slightly: "You go down, I want to talk to these two people alone."
The two people retreated and closed the door tightly. Then the man with the iron mask smiled and said, "The ninth princess has good eyesight."
Qingge and Qingge were shocked at the same time.
Ye Qing held his hands on his chest and said coldly: "How do you know my identity?"
The owner of the mountain remained calm: "Three years ago when the princess left the palace, did she dig out seven sweet potatoes fifty steps in front of the igloo by the lake, five large and two small, and one had a mold spot the size of a silver coin?"
"Two years ago, on the eve of the opening of the City of Eternal Night, when the princess was setting up a stall in Lanyin City, there was a young couple with clay dolls next to them. Did the princess give them an ice sculpture of a branch?"
"A month ago, when the princess came to the West Market and met the owner of Qixia Hall, did she ever buy five kilograms of Ruoguo and was given a handful of pearl fruits by the stall owner?"
Qing Ge was shocked to the extreme. Ge Sheng pointed his fingers at the same time and secretly conveyed the sword intention of heaven. He raised his fingers to the side of his face and asked: "Who are you?"
"Gesheng, the successor of the contemporary saint, who has been practicing for thousands of calamities, has also been taught the Heavenly Sword." The mountain master said calmly, every word seemed to hit the two people's hearts directly: "But you are not persistent in your mind at this time, even if you write this mark, It can’t hurt me either.”
Ye Qing had the illusion of being stripped naked in front of him, and took a deep breath: "Yi Lanshan, please don't continue to anger me."
The man in the iron mask looked at Ye Qing. The eyes behind the iron mask were light purple, with an unspeakable strangeness: "Princess, please rest assured, I have no ill intentions towards the princess. I even treated her against her because of my past relationship with Xi Che." There’s something caring about it.”
"As for following and monitoring the princess before, it was just to ensure the safety of a Lanye royal family member."
"Ye Ye's underground city master, the king of the dark world, actually keeps saying that he wants to protect a Lan Ye royal family?" Ye Qing sneered: "If you don't explain it clearly, then all the consequences will be unpredictable."
"I hate the feeling of being played around like a chess piece."
Yi Lanshan said quietly: "Princess, don't overestimate yourself. Your power is actually worthless in our eyes."
"Of course, princess, don't underestimate yourself too much. The only people who can use the princess as a chess piece are the gods on the other side. Those two saints came to the holy lake at the same time. In addition to their interest in you, princess, they are more interested in you. A message to us shadows in the night that enough is enough.”
"In addition to the behemoth Dark Star, there are many organizations that are interested in the princess."
"But before the arrival of the saint, the reason why you are so comfortable, princess, is that in addition to the protection of the two shadow guards, our wings also wrapped you up."
"As for the reason for doing this, it's actually very simple."
"We need the balance of order. A princess who runs away may be just an insignificant wave, but the death of this princess will cause a tsunami that overturns the ark. Some people are eager for this kind of chaos to come, although no one dares to bear the responsibility of the royal family. anger."
"As for me, I am just an idle person, neither a city lord nor a king. I just want to walk quietly through this world and take away a few fallen trees and dead trees."
The master of darkness spoke in a relaxed and leisurely tone, but the content he talked about was all the secrets of this world.
But he said it so normally and naturally.
Ye Qing's expression softened slightly and he said, "The mountain master was too modest. Qing also knew that he was too naughty and perverse at that time."
"I want to know why the mountain master exposed my identity to my face and revealed so many secrets to me?"
"I think it's not just the contract that was brought to me."
The real Yi Lanshan did not answer directly: "Why did the princess never see us in Lanyin City two years ago until the end?"
"The answer is simple. Dark Star sent out that unparalleled weapon to drive away all the dark shadows in Lanyin City."
Then he pointed to Ye Qing's right hand and motioned for her to open it.
Inside is the knot cut into countless sections with one finger.
Then Ye Qing followed her gaze and opened the wooden box, only to see a dagger with a cold blade.
"Now that the princess has come to Ye Ye, I hope to achieve friendship with you."
"A sharp blade that can cut through all the mysteries of branches and vines with one sword is also what we need."
"In return, I will give the princess all the assistance I can."
"The dark star is about to become a shadow that envelopes the world."
The mountain master showed a fierce smile.
"I hope the princess can accompany me to tear it apart."
