Chapter 2: A Count of the Stars

Xuyue said: "The old man who is lonely and has a hard mouth. As early as the day before yesterday, he actually bit his tongue and committed suicide. As for Dongqiong, it seems to be very unproductive, crying with a handful of snot and tears, as if he is dead. ”

Lonely's suicide was beyond Chu Xiong's expectations. However, the performance of the East Dome is what everyone can guess. That guy is a charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and his spinelessness has become a personality.

"What did Dongqiong say?" Chu Xiong asked.

Xuyue said: "He only said that he was confused for a while, and he only begged the sect to spare his life. I don't want to think about it, even killing the sect master has his share, where is there a way to live. Still, he did have some news. ”

According to Dongqiong's confession, in fact, he and the master of the third hall had contacted the envoy of the Xinghan Sect half a year ago. The other party not only gave away the Life Creation Pill, but even said that after the matter was completed, he would fully support the four of them to jointly take charge of the Youyue Sect. And the four of them have already calculated the distribution of power: the head of the Wind Hall is the sect master, the Lord of the Rain Hall is in charge of the entire three halls, the Lord of the Electric Hall is in charge of the Dharma Protector Group and the Zhaoxian Pavilion, and the East Dome is in charge of the Qingfeng Courtyard on the basis of being in charge of the Outer Sect. More importantly, the sect master is no longer above the elder group, which is equivalent to four people dividing up and managing a huge Dark Moon Sect. In short, everyone's power has expanded a lot. A small abacus rang, but in the end, the chickens flew and the eggs hit.

And Dongqiong was even more anxious, and sent his henchman disciple Wu Qi and others to the Qingfeng Courtyard early, so as to prepare for the takeover in the future. From this, Wu Qi also knew some of their secrets in the East Vault. This is also why when Wu Qi was captured, he said that he knew "a major matter related to the life and death of the sect". Later, Wu Qi was killed in prison, and it was Dongqiong who personally sent someone to poison him, killing people and killing people.

"It's all because I don't care too much! If you interrogate Wu Qi in time at that time, and report it secretly to your mother who is in the Demon Tribulation Pass, presumably your mother won't ......" Saying this, Xuyue still kept remorseful, and her eyes were slightly red.

"It's come to this, so why blame yourself. Chu Xiong said, "So, what to do with the East Dome?"

Xuyue suddenly let out a chill, more like her previous style. With silver teeth, she said word by word: "Cut off your hands and feet, and throw them into the bird." Elders, do you have any objections?"

"No objection!" Yu Qi was more timely than Chu Xiong's statement. Thus, six more "no objections" followed. The fate of Dongqiong was completely concluded in these few sentences of "no objection......

After the meeting ended, Chu Xiong prepared some water and food, and went straight to the Star Soul Tower, and after the early hours of the morning, it was the time for the Tower of Babel to open. Although he still had a lot of Zhu Lingguo in his hand, as well as the Bigu Pill he got from Yu, it was still good to keep these things in case he needed them. In fact, to prepare water and food for yourself for a month, you only need to send someone to deliver it one more time.

As for preparing for a month, it is because the Tower of Babel will be opened at the beginning of the month and the end of the month. And the time when the mother was able to take her lead was on those days of the month.

In the tower for two days, Chu Xiong continued to stabilize his existing realm. Recently, the speed of improvement has been relatively fast, and it can't be too child's play. Of course, with the absorption of a large number of scattered stars, his meridians were unconsciously stronger again.

Two days later, everyone dispersed, but Chu Xiong, Qing Dai, Yu Qi and Youda stayed. Xuyue also wanted to meet the mysterious "second mother", but there were too many affairs in the sect. Moreover, the sect has just undergone a great change, and people's hearts are unstable, the three elders of Chu Xiong, Youda and Yuqi have already stayed in the tower, and the sect master of Xuyue can't let it go.

"Don't worry, the next time I go to see my mother, I will definitely take you with me. Chu Xiong said with a smile.

"Well, however, I know why my mother ordered you to never enter the Tower of Babel. Xuyue said indifferently, "Your mother is at the bottom of the tower, my mother must know." Perhaps, she is afraid that you will find out that your mother is imprisoned and do something irrational. ”

Chu Xiong had already understood this truth, and said with a smile: "Actually, my mother has long been jealous of the Youyue Sect and your mother. Let's go back, we'll practice here for a few more days, see Mother in the middle of the month, and go out to meet you on the next day the tower gate opens. During this time, you should first prepare for the recovery of the Demon Tribulation. The soldiers and horses have not moved the grain and grass first, and there are many things to prepare. ”

"But when you're not around, I always feel that things are complicated, and I'm going to die of trouble, hehe!" Xuyue said goodbye to a few people, and suddenly said before leaving: "By the way, the entrance to the secret room where Babel holds your mother should be in that location." I don't know anything about the specific method of opening the door, and there is no record of the sect, so you can only figure it out by yourself. Of course, according to you, your mother should no longer be here. Hey, the old man really has great powers, and he can go out from here without knowing it. ”

The door of the tower closed heavily, and Chu Xiong immediately walked to the position pointed by Xuyue, which was a cover made of heavy iron plates, located at the very edge of the first floor of the Tower of Babel. The iron cover is rigidly embedded in the bluestone floor, and it fits perfectly. On the iron plate, some strange patterns are cast. In the middle is an iron ring, slightly larger than the palm of the hand.

Chu Xiong looked at the huge iron cover with a diameter of two meters, and a kind of hatred rose. That's what kept my mother in imprison. But Chu Xiong knew that in fact, his mother was no longer here, but in another space.

"Xiong, I don't think there's any need to go in, my mother isn't here anyway. Qingdai said. Yuqi and Youda both felt strange, how could Qingdai's girl call "mother" so appropriately and naturally? The two of them seemed to be a little awkward every time they shouted this word.

Chu Xiong shook his head and said, "No, do you still know what your mother said that day?" She said that she woke up at that time, and she was in that strange world. In other words, she didn't leave this secret room on her own initiative. Then through this secret room, maybe we can find some clues to see how the small world where the mother is located and this Tower of Babel are connected. ”

It also makes sense! The three girls nodded at the same time. Anyway, it's been close to half a month and I've had nothing to do, so it's better to investigate.

But when they tried to open the iron cover, they ran into a lot of trouble. Judging from the size of the iron cover, even if it is as thick as a foot, it is nothing more than a few thousand catties, and Chu Xiong should be able to open it. He stabbed his eagle sword into the gap between the iron plate and the ground, but he couldn't pry it back. "Is it to be pulled apart by the iron ring? It's just that according to the principle of mechanics, it is impossible to stand on the iron plate and pull the iron plate by yourself. ”

Yuqi smiled, flew up in the sky, and went to pull the iron ring. Chu Xiong immediately slapped his forehead and was overjoyed: Why did you forget this method!

But something even stranger happened: I saw Yuqi pull the iron ring, and the huge iron cover actually flashed a strange purple light. The light flickered, like lightning, and rushed straight to Yuqi's arm holding the iron ring. With an "ah", Yuqi's body flew upside down, and she fell all over her body in pain.

Could it be that there is any special prohibition on this iron cover?

"Damn!" Yu Qi rushed over again in a huff, and there was some momentum that did not stop until he reached his goal, but he was stopped by Chu Xiong. "Wait a minute, take a closer look at the pattern on this iron cover. ”

The four of them leaned over to watch together, but saw that the concave pattern on the iron cover was a little mysterious, and it seemed to have an unfathomable feeling. And after staring for a long time, I actually developed a little dizziness, as if those patterns began to twist and turn.

"This, isn't this the Eight Stars of the Demon Demon?" Eda finally realized and said, "Look, this is the first star, this is the ...... What's going on, how can the eight stars revolve around the sun? What's even stranger, how can there be an extra one in between?"

But Chu Xiong sighed a little: Which master cast such an inconspicuous iron cover? Because the extra one is actually the location of the planet under his feet. And the eight stars of the demon are not sorted according to the name of the soul martial world, but are arranged one by one according to their distance from the sun. The position of the sun is just under the iron ring in the middle of the iron cover.

At this time, Chu Xiong's heart set off a turbulence: Could it be that under his feet, it is really the earth? So, he is in a certain period of prehistory? But it is impossible, the appearance and landform of this soul martial world are not the same as the earth in the previous life! Moreover, even if it is a prehistoric period, it should not be discovered by later generations at all. However, even a little fossil has never been found by future generations.

More importantly, who forged this seemingly inconspicuous iron cover? The person who cast the iron cover must be familiar with the great mystery of this soul martial world!

Chu Xiong felt that the mysteries of this soul martial world had exceeded his imagination. He looked at Qing Dai, but saw that Qing Dai also had a big mouth. Obviously, she and Chu Xiong thought about it the same.

"You two, what's wrong?" Youda looked at Chu Xiong and Qing Dai a little abnormally.

"Whew!" Chu Xiong took a breath, made up his mind, and said, "It's nothing, I just think it's very mysterious." Well, let me give it a try. ”

As he spoke, Chu Xiong placed his palm on the position of the sun in the middle. The star soul power is exerted, but it is very weak. Suddenly, a faint rebound force came. When your star soul power output increases, the rebound from the iron cover will also increase.

It seems that you can't start with the sun pattern. And what Chu Xiong didn't think about was to try again with the so-called earth pattern. Sure enough, there was no rebound this time. This is followed by Mars, Venus, Mercury, Jupiter...... All the way to Pluto. The order is all according to the distance between the stars and the earth, from near to far. Of course, in the soul martial arts world, the names of these stars are not called this. And every time he exerted his star soul power, he never encountered a backlash again.

Watching Chu Xiong groping on the iron cover, except for Qing Dai, he didn't understand the specific reason.

Until the end, Chu Xiong put his hand in the position of the sun. When the star soul power was output, a purple light suddenly flashed. However, this purple light did not bounce Chu Xiong out, but made everyone feel a faint relaxation.

"Okay, Yuqi, you try again. Chu Xiong said, in fact, he was not completely sure in his heart.

Yuqi once again held the air in the air, and her hand gripped the iron ring tightly. Once the capacity was lifted, the iron cover was unexpectedly loosened! Everyone was overjoyed, and Yuqi increased his strength a little, so the "iron cover" was pulled out forcefully -- good guy, this is not a "cover" at all! Because of its thickness, it has reached half a zhang. In other words, this thing is simply a giant iron ingot!

After pulling open this strange iron ingot, a deep and pitch-black hole naturally appeared in front of the four of them.
