When Xiang Si asked this, Song Qingxiao immediately reacted to a thought in his mind - Dragon King?

Wrong!

As soon as this idea came to mind, she vetoed it herself.

Although her trial mission was to kill the Dragon King, Xiangsi was not necessarily consistent with her own mission.

Besides, even if the two of them have the same mission, if her mission goal is also to kill the Dragon King, I'm afraid she won't be able to wait for herself and others to come, and she will be the first to do it.

Even if she can't do it and has to wait for others to come and do it, then it is impossible to go around in such a big circle and talk so much nonsense at the first time she meets her.

What's more, the outside of the holy temple looks almost all grooved, and although the top one is the largest and widest, if it is used to hold the Dragon King, it is inevitably too small and too much.

Song Qingxiao thought of this, and looked in the direction of the holy temple again.

The temple was far from the house she was currently living in, and it was the largest building in the Yulun Realm, and she could see the whole temple clearly from the attic.

It is semi-oval in shape, like an inverted round-bottomed cup.

The bottom grooves are about one and a half meters wide and two meters high, and if you look at them from the bottom up, you may have as many as two or three hundred.

On top of the groove, it is sealed with a blue-gray stone tablet, and a simple pattern is drawn with vermilion lacquer, like a sketched figure, and some words are written on it.

From a distance, it feels like a dense juxtaposition of giant sketch frames.

Thinking of this, Song Qingxiao's heart moved:

"Grave?"

This height, width, no matter how you look at it, resembles a nest that is just right for a person to stand on.

In addition, the temple is wide at the bottom and narrow at the top, and the grooves at the bottom are narrow and compact, and the higher it goes, the more spacious it becomes.

Could it be that I guessed wrong before, it's not that there are no dead people and no graves here, but because the place is small, the dead people are dealt with separately?

When Xiang Si heard her say this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but then he returned to his normal color.

She didn't sell it anymore, but nodded:

"Yes, but it's not right."

Xiang Si's words made Pinluo feel both scared and curious.

The conversation between the two women in front of him made him a little confused, but it was as if the door to a new world had been opened.

At this time, he didn't dare to speak rashly, only to hear Xiang Si say again:

"There are 278 grooves on it." She paused deliberately, "But there are 133 grooves in it, and they are all sealed. ”

Song Qingxiao's eyes flashed with darkness, and he said in a low voice:

"That is, 145 grooves are empty."

She quickly grasped the point, Xiang Si pursed her lips and nodded with a smile.

Pinluo couldn't keep up with the two of them's train of thought, and scratched his head: "What does this empty groove represent?" ”

It was impossible for Xiang Si to ignore him, his eyes fell on Song Qingxiao, and Song Qingxiao really said:

"When we came all the way, Chu Rong said that the fixed number of people in the Yulun Void Realm was 147."

"That groove is only ......" Pinluo couldn't react at first, but after saying a few words, he suddenly realized:

"I understand, that is to say, Qinglu and Shutong are not counted in this number......

These two people are the candidates who are going to sacrifice at the Dragon King Sacrifice, so they can be regarded as checkmate people, so the real number of people in the Yulun Void Realm should be to eliminate these two girls from it.

In other words, the girls who are about to be sacrificed, including Xiangsi, may have been tricked into here by Uncle Xiang.

The real fixed number of people in the Yulun Realm may be 278 at the beginning.

But in the passage of time, those 133 people were enclosed in the groove without knowing what happened, and now there are 145 left to live alone.

"Among the 133 grooves, the dead body is sealed?"

Song Qingxiao asked, and Xiang Si shook his head:

"It's not." When she said this, her expression was a little solemn:

"It took me a lot of work to find a way to make a small hole in one of the grooved steles."

It is not difficult to forcibly break down the temple, but the difficulty lies in how to hide the ears and eyes of these strange people and keep quiet.

This holy temple is very eye-catching in the Yulun Void Realm, and it is in the middle of the position, far away from the house headed by Yichang, in a way, it is like being surrounded by the layers of buildings from the outside to the inside in the Yulun Void Realm.

And because of its conspicuous target and the small size of the place, it can be said that the existence of the temple is under the watchful eye of the people here at all times.

Judging from the attitude of Chu Rong when he mentioned the Holy Temple, the Holy Temple is like a forbidden place for the people here, and he attaches great importance to it.

Xiang Si and another girl, as candidates for the upcoming sacrifice at the Dragon King Sacrifice, were firmly guarded, and it was impossible for them to move very freely.

Under such circumstances, she was able to open the stone tablet on the outside of the temple from under the noses of these people, and she did not alarm the prohibition, which was considered to be a bit of a skill.

"I found out through that hole that it contained a cocoon."

Xiang Si said this and spread out his hands.

Her palms were snow-white and soft, and her fingertips were slender, and as she spoke, a black silk suddenly appeared on the palm, which stood out in her palm.

This magical scene had a huge impact on Pinluo, making his eyes widen and looking at Xiangsi 'out of nothing'.

"Look at it."

She handed the things to Song Qingxiao, but Song Qingxiao was not polite to her, picked it up, took the strand of silk, put it in front of her to take a closer look, and probed her divine sense into it.

The velvet felt a bit like torn cotton, and there was a faint fluctuation of yin qi in it.

Song Qingxiao looked at the color of this velvet, and couldn't help rubbing it, and the small fluffy velvet was twisted by her with a small short rope, and she folded the slender rope in half with each other, and immediately smiled.

After folding in half, the strings were arranged in several rows, like a small piece of cloth woven in a short way, and Pinluo leaned over to take a look, and then said:

"It looks a bit like the skirts they wear."

"It's not like." Song Qingxiao corrected him, but his eyes did not take his eyes off the twisted string arrangement:

"The skirts of Yichang and others are woven from this."

She's sure.

Pinluo is just an ordinary person, and he can't sense the yin qi in the wisp of velvet, which is the same as the breath on Yichang and the others, it is the same thing.

Xiang Si nodded, "It's indeed the same thing, the skirts worn by these people are made of this cocoon skin." ”

She rolled her eyes, looked at Song Qingxiao again, pursed her lips and smiled:

"Song San, guess again, what's inside that cocoon?"

"Corpses?" Pin Luo opened his mouth, but Song Qingxiao corrected lightly:

"It's people."

"Not bad." Xiang Si ignored Pin Luo at all, and only looked at Song Qingxiao with a smile:

"The people who are bound in the cocoon are people, but these people are no longer conscious, only their bodies remain, but strangely, there is still a trace of spiritual breath."

When she noticed this, she was taken aback, "It's just a pity that after I tore off a piece of this thing at that time, I was discovered, and I had no choice but to retreat for the time being." ”

The situation here is unclear, and in the case of the trialists not yet arrived, the task situation is half-understood, and it is not suitable to startle the snake.

When Xiangsi broke open the stele and tore off a strand of silk on the giant cocoon, it caused a sensation in the Yulun Realm, and Yichang ordered the whole territory to search for those who dared to break into the temple, and she and Qinglu, who lived in the house on the left, were the first to be inquired because they were the candidates for the upcoming sacrifice.

Although with Xiang Si's methods and the cultivation of the middle level of the Infant Transformation Realm, these people did not search for anything, nor did they catch her.

But when the temple is touched, it is like a passive scale for the people here.

It was also after that day that the people in the Yulun Realm strengthened their guards, and put locks on the entrance and exit gates, prohibiting the people inside from entering and leaving, and not allowing others to enter easily.

"With your strength, such a subtle movement can arouse the vigilance of these people, and it is conceivable that there may be some mysterious prohibition in the temple."

Song Qingxiao frowned, Xiang Si is a mid-level powerhouse in the Infant Transformation Realm, if she has a heart, she can come and go without a trace, and it is impossible for these people to notice it.

The temple is so big, there are more than 200 grooves inside, and there are as many as 133 caves where giant cocoons are stored, but as soon as Xiang Si moves one of them, it quickly causes a storm in the Yulun Realm, which shows the depth of vigilance of these people.

They can find out the movements of Xiangsi, or the strength of the people in them is far superior to Xiangsi; Either the temple is connected to them, and if one of them is touched, it can alert the others.

For example, if the temple and these people are a complete 'person', and someone pulls a hair of this 'person', it can quickly arouse the 'person's notice, and this is probably the truth.

The temple is closely connected to the people in the Yulun Realm, and the grooves inside also store some strange cocoons.

According to Xiang Si, the people in these cocoons have lost consciousness, but there is still a trace of spiritual breath left, that is, they are not completely dead, and they are in a half-dead state.

"Giant cocoon, human ......" Song Qing had these two key words in his small mouth, and muttered softly:

"Want to break out of the cocoon and be reborn?"

Her voice was so soft that Pinluo couldn't hear it clearly, but she couldn't hide it from Xiangsi's ears.

This guess coincided with Xiang Si, and she nodded:

"That's what I thought, too."

These people are not dead in the true sense of the word, but they are not alive either, and may be in some mysterious form, waiting for the day when they will be reborn from the cocoon.

Song Qingxiao fell her gaze on the intertwined silk in her hand again, her fingertips carried spiritual power, and gently rubbed the silk thread-

Under the spiritual power, where could the thin rope withstand it, it was suddenly crushed by the powerful spiritual energy and turned into powder.

"You-" Xiang Si couldn't help but be anxious when he saw that the things he had worked so hard to get were destroyed by Song Qingxiao, and as soon as he made a sound, he saw that the powder was twisted by the spiritual power, and it turned into wisps of black smoke.

Song Qingxiao's divine sense moved, and the 'Lin' character technique turned into a field about the size of a fist, trapping those wisps of black smoke in it.

"This is ......" Xiang Si saw this scene, and immediately swallowed what he was going to say back into his throat.

That black gas seemed to have become the climate, impacting the domain, but with Song Qingxiao's current strength, this black qi could not break the blockade of the domain at all, no matter how it impacted, it was still firmly sealed in it.

Xiang Si subconsciously reached out to grab it, but the moment his fingers touched the field, it seemed to be blocked by an invisible prohibition.

No matter how hard she tried, her fingers could not break through the confines of the 'Pro' word technique.

A hint of coldness flashed in her eyes, and when she struck again, she had already brought out spiritual power in her hand, and her fingertips turned into afterimages, and she grabbed it hard, making a 'bang' sound.

The realm didn't move, and it wasn't even shaken by her aura at all.

She released her divine consciousness at the same time, only to sense that this mass of black qi was bound by some invisible prohibition, which should be formed by a powerful divine consciousness, but with the strength of her divine sense, it still could not be broken.

Xiang Si's eyes changed suddenly.

Of the five trialists, the other four didn't know about her, but she herself couldn't know more about her own exercises.

Her exercises themselves can only be performed by relying on her divine sense, so the strength of her divine consciousness is definitely above that of a middle-level cultivator in the general infant realm.

Song Qingxiao understated that she didn't even sense this person's move, so she didn't know when she used her divine sense to make such a thing and trap these black qi.

And neither spiritual power nor divine sense can break through it, which is enough to see the power of Song Qingxiao's move.

Fortunately, from this trick, it seems that the area of this prohibition is slightly smaller, and it can only be used in a small area, and it cannot be used on a large scale, otherwise the ban will be large, and in the battle, once she is restrained, the consequences will not be terrifying.

Xiang Si analyzed it in his heart, and he was still rejoicing.

But even so, Song Qingxiao's strength has already made her very vigilant, at least she can use this trick, it can be seen that she should also focus on cultivating her divine sense, and the strength of her divine sense is not below herself.

She was thinking about things, but her face was silent.

Song Qingxiao didn't see what she had just done, and when she saw her reach out to grab it, she loosened the field.

The black aura was rising, Xiang Si cleaned up the shock in his heart, and forcibly calmed down and stretched out his hand again-

This time, the realm formed by the 'Lin' character technique was unraveled, and she easily grabbed the wisp of black mist into her palm, and sank into it with her divine sense, and her face immediately changed:

"Demonic energy?"

"Not bad!"

Song Qing nodded.

The shell of the giant cocoon stored in the recess in the temple was actually formed by a strong demonic aura.

It can make the demonic qi form and weave into a cocoon shell, and you can imagine how heavy the yin qi of the cocoon is.

This kind of demonic qi comes from the Nine Springs, and it comes from the same origin and has the same breath, so it can prove that there is some kind of connection between this group of people and the Nine Springs.

What is at the bottom of the spring, not to mention supporting the Yulun Void Realm, you can also use the demonic energy in the spring to weave cocoons to trap these people living in the Yulun Void and hide them in the holy temple.

The trace of demonic energy wrapped around Xiang Si's white and slender fingers, and began to squirm and try to invade her body.

But after discovering that there was no way to break through its anti-lock no matter what, it gradually dispersed and disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Pinluo didn't dare to breathe when he saw the atmosphere, and everything that happened in front of him broke through his previous cognition.

During the conversation between the two, the holy temple mentioned in the temple, the big cocoon that wrapped the 'people' in the temple, and Xiangsi took out the black velvet out of thin air like magic, and Song Qingxiao rubbed the velvet into black mist with his bare hands, all of which made his mind blank, and he couldn't even speak.

"Looks like we'll have to find a way to enter the temple and get into the water at the same time." Song Qingdao.

Xiang Si forcibly suppressed the thoughts in his heart, and after hearing her words, he said:

"After the Dragon King Sacrifice."

The people in the Yulun Realm have now determined that they are inseparable from the demonic qi in the Nine Springs, and the existence of the holy temple is also an indispensable part of it, so the Dragon King Sacrifice two days later may be able to see some clues.

Song Qingxiao also planned to do so, but she still had doubts:

"In general, how many sacrifices do you need for the Dragon King Festival?"

When the first appearance was introduced, it was only said that it was necessary to select a beautiful girl and sink it under the nine springs, but the process and requirements were said one by one, but the number of people was not said.

At present, it seems that Song Qingxiao and Xiang Si have the same appearance conditions, and since the other girl who lives in the house on the left side is locked up as one of the candidates, I am afraid that all the conditions meet the sacrifice standards.

So in other words, at this time, the Dragon King Festival and the newly arrived Song Qingxiaowai have a total of three candidates.

If only one person is needed for the Dragon King Festival, then what does the existence of the other two mean?

And if the Dragon King Festival needs two people, or even more than two people, then when Song Qingxiao asked Chu Rong before, why did he flatly deny it?

Song Qingxiao suspected that the Dragon King Sacrifice might just be a certain kind of sacrifice here, but in fact, behind the scenes, these people might also need a more important sacrifice, which is being prepared and brewing.

According to her speculation, if Chu Rong hadn't lied, and the Dragon King Sacrifice only needed one person, then Qinglu, who was currently living in the left wing, should be the girl who was sacrificed to the Dragon King prepared by Yichang and others.

"After all, if you choose a concubine for the Dragon King once every three years, it is impossible to get together the big and small wives at one time."

The corners of her mouth were slightly hooked, her smile was a little cold, and then she said:

"Your existence may be something else that these people have planned."

The girl who lives in the wing room on the left has a weak breath, just an ordinary person, and has no spiritual power to cultivate.

On the contrary, Xiangsi is obviously different, if Yichang and others are really old and refined, they can see their extraordinaryness at a glance, and they must also see the difference in Xiangsi.

So they are preparing to use Xiangsi for other purposes.

And Uncle Xiang suddenly brought himself over, which surprised Yichang and the others, and at the same time, it should also make them ecstatic, so they also sent themselves and Xiangsi together.

"That's what I thought, too."

Xiangsi had no consciousness of being regarded as a sacrifice, but laughed wildly, and the silver bells on his clothes also followed the sound of 'bells':

"Maybe if you sacrifice together, you can know the secret of these people's immortality."

The two had a general understanding of each other's abilities and strengths, and after exchanging information, they reached a preliminary cooperation.

Therefore, Song Qingxiao no longer cared about her, and asked directly:

"What's your mission?"

Xiang Si smiled and narrowed his eyes:

"Kill the Dragon King."

Song Qingxiao listened to her words and nodded.

At present, the two seem to have the same task and the same goal, so there is no suspense in cooperation.

As soon as her question was asked, Xiang Si also asked unceremoniously:

"What number card did you choose?"

Song Qingxiao didn't speak, and what responded to her was to spread out the hand that she had been putting on the wooden railing, the palm was up, the fingertips were slightly curved, and under the movement of spiritual power, a golden dot slowly appeared on the white and soft palm, about the size of a peanut, as if someone had dipped her fingers in gold paint and lightly clicked it.

"You were the first to make a choice?"

Xiang Si glanced at it, and a complicated look appeared on her face, as if she was a little surprised, but also as if she expected it.

In the trial space, before the task was opened, this card appeared out of thin air, and when it was Xiang Si's turn to choose, there were three of the five cards left, and she was the same as Song Qingxiao at that time, realizing that this card was most likely selected according to the divine consciousness of the five people.

Among the five, her strength is in the center, so the third pick.

There were a total of five cards, but they had already been selected by the two of them at that time, and the black-robed man who came in last was extraordinary at a glance, Xiang Si faintly felt his danger, and guessed that he should be the strongest person in this trial.

So she dared to conclude that one of these five cards must have been drawn by him first.

She has been guessing that there is another card that was picked by someone first, and after thinking about it, she never thought that it would be Song Qingxiao's choice, until she saw the dot that appeared in her palm at this time, it was certain.

Just thinking about it, Xiang Si felt that this situation was just expected.

Thinking about Song Qingxiao's previous move to trap that wisp of demonic energy, he was not an ordinary mid-level monk in the infant realm, at least his divine sense was strong, and he was still faintly above himself, no wonder he had the qualifications to take the lead in selecting cards.

Xiang Si settled down, and as soon as his voice fell, he also spread out his hand.

In the palm of her left hand, two golden dots appeared: "I am the third to make a choice." She glanced at Song Qingxiao and said what she knew:

"There is also a number '5' that has been picked in front of you."

Xiang Si's words had a great effect on Song Qingxiao, and it could be regarded as making up for her weaknesses after she took the lead in selection.

She chooses the card first, and although it means that the initiative is in her hands first, she doesn't know what the card means.

At the same time, because she chooses first, who picks later, and what the number is, she doesn't know anything.

On the contrary, although the people in the back lack more opportunities to choose, they can clearly know the number of people in front.

But now that Xiang Siyi said it, Song Qing was careful.

The strength of the last No. 5 is extraordinary, if Song Qingxiao is not mistaken, he should be the one who made the choice after himself and before Xiang Si.

According to what Xiang Si said, before she picked, if the missing numbers were '1' and '5', the number plate representing the number '1' was in her hand, then the number on the palm of the black robe man No. 5 should be '5'.

The remaining Ma Yi and the cold-looking woman in red were numbered '3' and '4', respectively.

"What do you mean by this card?"

After deciding to cooperate with Song Qingxiao, Xiang Si's expression seemed much more casual than before, and the whole person's defense was not as heavy as before, she even leaned on Song Qingxiao's side and turned her head to ask.

"I don't know." A glint flashed in Song Qingxiao's eyes, "But if the others can come over earlier, they will know then." ”

Three more in one...

6,000 words......

Alas, I haven't asked for leave for a long time...

I thought I was too old to write...

I didn't expect that during this period of time, because of the virus, I was locked up at home and had nothing to do, but I didn't do anything else except codewords, and then I didn't break off......
