Chapter 24: The Price of Curiosity
He blinked, turned stiffly to the west, and said with He Shiqi's stunned expression, "I...... I'll go over there. With that, he also quickly left, disappearing among the neat trees.
Lian Youyou sighed and strode forward.
The whole palace was trapped for a certain amount of time, as she had judged, and this time was in the spring. The surroundings are full of flowers, peach blossoms, and the warm and humid air is filled with the fragrance of flowers.
As she walked forward, she admired the frozen time. In fact, God can also freeze for a certain period of time, so that some good things can be imprisoned forever during this time, so that he will not change with time.
It's just that right now, Lian Youyou can't be sure how long this period of solidification will last. And where is the source of energy that allows this time to freeze?
You must find this energy source in order to crack this game, open the closed loop of time, and take everyone out. However, once the time outside merges with the time inside, these people inside will still disappear into this time, because they will be swallowed up by time.
Except for those who came in not long ago, such as Duanmu Qingchen.
Therefore, the longer you stay in this time loop, the more unfavorable it will be to Lianyouyou and the people who come in.
The whole palace is very quiet, occasionally palace maids and eunuchs pass by, but there are not many, it can be seen that it is a deep palace. Fortunately, this is the Deep Palace, if you trap a city, the time impact after breaking the game will hurt more people.
Avoiding eunuchs and palace maids, Lianyou's leisurely posture is more like visiting the entire palace. Then, she saw a group of eunuchs with white silk in their hands walking towards a palace. That should be the legendary eunuch who gave the concubine death. Since everything started because of the death of that concubine, then, Lian Youyou has to go to see that concubine.
"Oh no—no—" Suddenly, two old mothers rushed out of the palace, "Run, run—" The old women ran to the group of eunuchs, "Concubine Jing ran away with the piano master!"
"What?!" the eunuch shouted at the top of his voice, "What's the matter today? I just caught a trespasser in the harem and sent him to the worship room, causing us to be a little late, why did this Concubine Jing run away with the piano master? Don't catch it?! Don't catch it!" The eunuch screamed at the eunuchs behind him.
The eunuchs hurried away, and the old mothers panicked and searched around.
Lian Youyou was stunned for a moment, and just grabbed one and sent it to the worship room?! This idiot doesn't know how to hide when he enters someone else's palace?
Lian Youyou held his forehead, but Duanmu Qingchen's kid even dared to touch her secret realm, where else did he dare not enter?
Lian Youyou sighed, jumped off the wall, and went to save Duanmu Qingchen first, otherwise there would be no future. Here the couple also ran away, so let them get together for a while, not in a hurry at this time.
"Beer!" Suddenly, a strange sound came from behind Lianyouyou, Lianyouyou turned around, and saw a little eunuch waving to her.
Lian Youyou squinted at the little eunuch in front of him, with red lips and white teeth, but he was demonic. She raised her lips and smiled, this should be the ......
The little eunuch beckoned to her, then turned and left.
Lian Youyou smiled and followed behind him. Soon, the little eunuch led her into a small courtyard in the middle of nowhere, and then sneakily looked around.
Lian Youyou looked at him funny: "No one is following." ”
The little eunuch was slightly surprised, and quickly turned around and shouted, "My lord, my lord, another one has come in!" The little eunuch shouted as he ran inside.
With this shout, three people suddenly came out of the originally quiet courtyard. A man, a woman, an old man. They are all dressed as eunuchs and palace maids.
Looking at Lian Youyou, it is already clear that this group of people should be the people who were trapped here back then.
The little eunuch looked back at Lian Youyou and beckoned: "Come in, don't be afraid, we are protecting you." Otherwise, you will be dragged to the worship room, just like the previous one. ”
Lian Youyou came back to her senses and immediately went into the courtyard to ask, "What about now?
The little eunuch shook his head: "I have become a eunuch, and I will be sent to the back room to stop the bleeding." ”
"Smack!" Lian Youyou slapped his face, this idiot prince is really worrying, this indifferent thing will only be encountered by that idiot. At this time, Duanmu Qingchen became the first eunuch prince in the ages. It's hard to imagine how he's feeling at the moment.
A man and a woman in the courtyard helped the old man to step forward, and the old man looked at Lianyouyou's appearance and asked with concern: "Girl, shouldn't you be with the young man just now?" ”
Lian Youyou sighed with one hand on his waist and nodded to the old man: "Yes, I took him out." ”
Several people were stunned for a moment, but then showed a weak expression.
"Girl, it's not that the old man wants to scare you, but come in here...... I really can't get out. The old man shook his head again and again, his face was tired, and his face was apologetic, "I'm sorry, I didn't save him......"
A man and a woman beside him also sighed, as if they had been thwarted by fate and had given up hope.
The youngest little eunuch was already full of sadness, and couldn't help crying: "I, we have been here for almost a hundred years...... Can't get out...... I can't get out......" The little eunuch cried very sadly, sobbing again and again.
Lian Youyou looked at the four people in the courtyard who sighed and smiled: "I'm here, you can go out." ”
The four of them couldn't help but be stunned together, looking at Lian Youyou, where did she get her confidence.
Lian Youyou continued to smile: "You should be the Nine Gates of the previous dynasty." ”
At this time, the four people became surprised.
Lian Youyou put her hands behind her back and began to circle around them: "Two demons, an old mage, and one who has cultivated immortals, En...... Yes, no wonder you still have memories, unlike others who lose their memories when they reboot during this time......"
The astonishment of the four of them grew even greater, and it was almost jaw-dropping! How did this woman know the secrets of this palace? Moreover, she clearly knew very well what would happen to this palace, because she said that time would restart.
Indeed, the palace will be restarted in time!
Every afternoon and evening, the palace restarts time with the sound of a piano, and then returns to the morning of the day, and so on, day after day. For those who are inside, one day outside, in fact they have already spent two days inside. And all the people who are inside, when time restarts, will also lose their memories at the same time, only the people of their nine gates.
However, leaving every minute and every moment of memory is a kind of torment for them. It's better for those who have lost their memories and don't know that they are trapped in this half day and can continue to live their lives as usual.
I have been there every day repeatedly, and I have been trapped in this palace again, maybe for a day, or two days, and I will feel novel. But a year, two years, it starts to get boring, and ten years, a hundred years later? It's like a prison.
