So, what's going on now?
Everyone knew that she was pretending to be Xiaoyao, and they also knew that she thought they didn't know!
A group of people gathered around her, watching her cover up like a clown?
Yun Jiutang was a little depressed, and Bai Liran comforted him: "Be more open-minded. At least, they are not attacking you now. We can wait and see what happens!"
Just as he was talking, Bai Liran's expression suddenly changed and he looked aside.
At this time, Mu Canglin was seen walking over quickly.
His expression was solemn, as if he was deeply worried.
"But what did you find?" Bai Liran asked excitedly.
Mu Canglin didn't say anything, but drew a strange symbol on the stone with the lake water on it.
"This may be a formation, have you seen it?" Mu Canglin asked.
Bai Liran observed it for a moment, then dipped his hand in water and added a few strokes to the corners of the painting.
"This way, it can be considered complete!" Bai Liran said solemnly, "This should be a formation. I have seen it in ancient books. It should be called the Spirit Gathering Formation!"
"Spirit Gathering Array?"
Bai Liran nodded and said seriously: "I also read that ancient book a long time ago, and I can't remember many details clearly.
But one thing is certain, this formation has been lost for many years! Even if it could be made, it would not be used at all!
So, this looks more like a complex symbol. By the way, how would you know? "
"I saw it in the Yangxin Hall." Mu Canglin said in a deep voice, pointing to the corner that Bai Liran added, "Here is a dark room. Inside..."
Probably because the scene inside was so miserable, Mu Canglin closed his mouth before he finished speaking.
Yun Jiutang could hardly imagine how terrifying it must be inside!
Yun Jiutang couldn't help but look at each other and Bai Liran, both of them saw the same dignity in each other's eyes.
Mu Canglin sighed and asked, "What is the function of this spirit gathering array?"
"It is said that as early as when the spiritual tribe spread all over the world, there was a Taoist priest who could not bear the oppression and created this formation.
This formation can gather the power of the Spirit Clan for one's own use, and can even transform an ordinary person into a Spirit Clan person.
It just takes the blood of a hundred Spirit Tribe people to activate this formation. After that, this formation has always needed the support of the spirit clan's bloodline to continue to operate!
It’s a pretty brutal formation! Is it possible that there are people from the Spirit tribe locked up in the secret room of the emperor's palace? "Bai Liran couldn't help but take a breath.
Mu Canglin nodded and said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid that my father also has such thoughts."
"Your Majesty wants to become a member of the Spirit Tribe?" Yun Jiutang sighed, "Why?"
"Since ancient times, emperors have pursued immortality at any cost. Think about the abilities of the Spirit Tribe people and their extremely long lifespans. Why do you think it is?" Bai Liran sneered,
"If I get to that position, I probably won't be able to resist that temptation!"
The overwhelming power, glory and wealth will completely dissipate with the end of life.
As emperors, they naturally hope to continue this power and wealth forever.
And if all of this is brought together in the hands of one person, it will be a disaster for others.
Yun Jiutang suddenly remembered Zhao Xianchen's words, no one from the Spirit tribe could ascend to the throne of God.
"Why did he suddenly understand this?" Yun Jiutang asked, "Who taught him this?"
These words caused both of them to fall into silence.
Especially Mu Canglin, he knew his father.
Since he can gain a reputation as a benevolent king to the outside world, he has always been considered kind and wise.
Although his throne came from a shady path, over the years, relying on his political achievements, he has almost washed away that stain and turned his reputation around.
Therefore, he was so shocked when he saw those people whose flesh and blood had been cut into pieces in the dark room.
But after thinking about it, he felt it made sense again.
No emperor can resist the temptation of immortality, although the spirit race may not necessarily represent immortality.
But the legendary Spirit Race people live much longer than ordinary people, and they also have various abilities that ordinary people do not have.
In the silence, Mu Canglin said: "Do you still remember the entrance to the secret passage you mentioned?"
Bai Liran nodded, "But I'm not sure if those entrances are blocked."
The emperor could secretly create such formations and dark rooms without them knowing.
No one can be sure whether any manipulation was done in the secret passage.
"It doesn't matter, let's go take a look."
"What do you want to do?" Bai Liran asked cautiously.
"Save someone." Mu Canglin's expression became more solemn.
"who?"
"This king's... mother-in-law."
When these words came out, both of them were shocked.
"Who are you talking about? Concubine Zhuang? Isn't she dead?" Bai Liran said in surprise.
Mu Canglin shook his head, "She is still alive, in the darkroom of Yangxin Palace. The situation is very bad."
He doesn't have deep feelings for his biological mother.
Even when she was dying, she tried to drag him down and kill him.
Therefore, he did not feel very sad about her death.
However, Concubine Zhuang's current state of being worse than death made him unable to ignore her.
Even if he couldn't save her, he still hoped that she could be freed.
"I'm afraid this is very dangerous! It's easy for you to get in there. If you bring someone out, I'm afraid..." Bai Liran couldn't help but shook his head, wanting to persuade him why he should risk his life for such a miserable mother.
But looking at Mu Canglin's expression, he still swallowed the words that came to his mouth.
"It doesn't matter, I'll help you!" Yun Jiutang said, "It's just the Yangxin Hall!"
Hearing this, Mu Canglin looked at her with a complicated expression and remained silent for a long time.
On the other hand, Bai Liran said: "She is right. If she takes action in this matter, it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort."
"Yes! When the time comes, rescue the people and put them in the secret passage, and then they can be sent out easily!" Yun Jiutang said.
"Speaking of the entrance to the secret passage, the one next to Yuehua Palace was very good last time! It is very secret and remote, so it is more suitable to start." Bai Liran said.
Yun Jiutang also agreed, "I probably still have some impressions of the road there. What about you? Do you remember it?"
"Who are you looking down on!" Bai Liran sneered, pointed at his forehead and said, "They are all pretending here!"
Seeing the tacit interaction between the two, Mu Canglin lowered his eyes slightly.
It seemed that when he was with Bai Liran, Yun Jiutang would look relaxed and at ease, and his eyes would shine.
Although he was a prince and held a high position of power, he was associated with conspiracy and calculation, and was bound by cumbersome rules. Compared with Bai Liran, he was ultimately less free and easy.
"Okay, let's do it like this." He glanced around the two people and said softly, "After the matter is completed, I will..."
Before he finished speaking, Mu Canglin's expression suddenly changed, and he suddenly raised his hand and struck the lake hard.
The next moment, a flash of bright red came from the bottom of the water and slowly spread on the lake.
Immediately afterwards, something slowly rose from the bottom of the lake.
