The palace of the new lotus kingdom, the court.

At night.

"Huilian noble, this light shadow building has been sealed for thousands of years since ancient times, even if you go in, you have to spend some time to find someone to remove the blue brick seal. And it is said that it is still haunted and there are unclean things. In addition, it is night again, it is dirty and messy inside, and the lights are blind, and the subordinates are worried that you have entered the Lian noble, in case of a little mistake, the subordinates can't afford this responsibility. And then the subordinates remember that all the entrances of the Light Shadow Building have royal seals, without the emperor's approval, I'm afraid no one dares to open the seals casually? Please also ask the lotus nobles to think twice. ”

When Yanyu politely asked the two royal guards on duty at the gate of the court if they would like to take her to the Light Shadow Building, one of the royal guards replied with great embarrassment.

"Yes, Noble Lian, what he said makes sense. Not to mention whether it is haunted or not, this royal seal cannot be torn off casually. And even if the emperor agrees, the removal of the blue brick seal will not be completed in a while. It's better to go back first, wait for the emperor's permission during the day tomorrow, and then send someone to remove the blue brick seal, and then send some more people to accompany you in, right? After all, you are now a nobleman, and you are deeply favored by the emperor. If there is a bump in something, the subordinates are seriously derelict in their duties. Please think twice? ”

After listening to the words of the royal guard, Phantom Lotus also persuaded with a worried face.

And Yanyu listened to the words of the royal guards and Phantom Lotus, and also felt that it made sense, it was indeed a little abrupt, and he didn't think it clearly before coming.

However, at this moment, she really wanted to go in and see this light shadow building and a magical woman in it for the first time.

Because when she helped Lord Rong translate ancient books in Wenyuan Pavilion before, the book also mentioned the Light Shadow Building.

also tells in detail the story that happened in that year, that is, a grandmother named Chu Yingxuan was framed and finally hanged inside.

The ancient books also mentioned in detail that Chu Yingxuan was actually not an ordinary person, but a divine insect from the Lotus Immortal Kingdom who was incarnated into a human form.

This divine insect that incarnated in human form and named himself Chu Yingxuan was originally a firefly from the Lotus Immortal Kingdom.

Due to some kind of coincidence, it inadvertently came to the worldly Lotus Kingdom, after the baptism of the years, opened the spiritual wisdom, possessed the ability of human thinking, and after thousands of years of hard cultivation, finally incarnated into a human form, and settled down in the Lotus Kingdom like a human.

Since she is not a mortal, her lifespan is far beyond ordinary people, almost reaching tens of thousands of years, and when she is an adult, about thirty years old, her appearance has never changed, so in order to avoid being seen by mortals that she is eternally young, she has to change places and settle in a new place every few years.

As she became more and more familiar with human society, in order to make it easier to get along with others, she also gave herself a nice name - Chu Yingxuan.

The Xuan in her name is because she has always liked daylilies, so she gave herself the nickname Xuan'er.

And the Hotaru in her name indicates that her body is a firefly.

As for the surname Chu, it is because when she first took on a human form, she was still a little girl of five or six years old, and she was once taken in by a well-wisher family surnamed Chu for a period of time. So in order to commemorate that family, she simply used this surname forever.

But the good times didn't last long, and that family died because of the plague in the whole village.

And she was not a mortal physique after all, so in the end, she was the only one who survived, so she had to go to another village to settle down.

In this way, she herself does not know how many new villages and cities she has gone to, and she has lived a completely different life year after year, so she is completely familiar with everything in human society, and even she has tried to engage in various industries, and she has also come into contact with all kinds of people in society, so for thousands of years, she has also become omniscient, omnipotent, and omniscient.

The only thing she hasn't tried is to get married and have children.

First, she is a person incarnated by fireflies after all, and she is still not used to the so-called marriage of human society, and secondly, she is also worried that she will harm others and herself if she turns back and gives birth to a monster that is not human or insect, so she has made up her mind not to marry in this life.

In this way, she traveled almost all over the entire Lotus Kingdom, and finally came to the prosperous imperial city to settle down.

When she settled in the imperial city for less than a year, because of her bloodline far beyond mortals, she inadvertently saved the queen mother who suddenly became critically ill on the way out.

Then she was admitted to the palace, stayed in the palace of the Queen Mother, and carefully guarded the Queen Mother's side to take care of her for a whole month, plus she has shown incomparable intelligence, excellent management talent, superb cooking skills, and good insight into the special ability of others to think deeply, but also attracted the attention of the Queen Mother who gradually recovered her health, and soon won the appreciation of the Queen Mother.

So, after asking for her consent, she was left in the palace by the Queen Mother and became the most trusted lady in charge of the Queen Mother's side.

It's just that she is simple and honest by nature, and her behavior of often helping the weak offends many ruthless concubines in the harem, and not long after the queen mother's funeral, she was framed and sentenced to death.

Later, the queen mother's dream begged the emperor to be gracious, and she was changed to a light shadow building in the northwest corner of the cold palace of the court for life.

Not long after she was imprisoned in the Shadow Building, she was rumored to have hanged herself in the Shadow Building, and since then the Shadow Building has become a ghost building, and she has gradually been forgotten by people.

It's just that for so many years, what no one expected was that all this was actually arranged by Chu Yingxuan herself.

It turned out that Chu Yingxuan was suddenly tired of the life in the mortal realm since the death of the Queen Mother, after all, her body that could not die for tens of thousands of years was too different from that of mortals, so she had to change to a new city every few years to start a new life.

Otherwise, if she is found to be immortal, it will be sad to be executed as a monster.

And now that she was framed and her life was not guaranteed, in order to keep herself alive, she had an idea, and finally thought of a good way the night before she was sentenced to death.

That is, she first used some kind of psychedelic magic to make the emperor have a dream that night, and in the dream she dreamed of the Queen Mother who was mourning, and asked the Queen Mother in the dream to beg the emperor to be gracious and not to punish her with capital punishment, but to imprison the Shadow Building for life.

The reason why Chu Yingxuan had to let the emperor deliberately imprison her in the Light Shadow Building was because she once inadvertently went to the Cold Palace to run errands, passed by the Light Shadow Building, and was pleasantly surprised to find that there was an ancient stone tablet inside.

The words on this stone tablet turned out to be the ancient characters of the Lotus Immortal Kingdom, so no one knew it in this mortal realm.

As for the stone tablet, what is recorded is a kind of secret technique of the Lotus Immortal Kingdom - the Shadow Dormancy Illusion.

It is said that after mastering this dormant hallucination, you can enter a state of immortality without eating or drinking.

At that time, after Chu Yingxuan looked at this stone stele, she also kept a note in her heart, thinking that if she was desperate one day in the future, this would be her final destination.

It's just that this secret technique has a disadvantage, that is, once you cultivate this illusion technique in the way recorded on the stone tablet, and successfully enter a dormant state, you can't wake up, and you can only wake up when you meet someone like her who comes from the bloodline of the Lotus Immortal Kingdom, otherwise you may sleep forever.

In other words, unless you have to, don't easily practice this illusion.

However, she had already been ordered by the emperor to be sentenced to death at that time, which was completely a last resort, so she couldn't care so much, and immediately decided to use a dream at midnight to let the emperor exempt her from the death penalty, but instead imprisoned the light shadow building for life.

And after she was imprisoned in the Light Shadow Building, she also quickly found the stone tablet and began to practice the Light Shadow Dormancy Illusion on it.

It didn't take long for her to fully learn.

So, she chose the night of the full moon, started the faint shadow dormancy illusion, and completely entered a dormant state by hanging herself.

That way, she will be able to live forever in the Lotus Kingdom. It's just that she can't wake up until she meets someone who can wake her up.

Fortunately, she has always been smart and far-sighted, and she has already left a hand for herself, that is, before she entered the state of pale shadow dormancy, she deliberately wrote a detailed account of her own experience in the Lotus Immortal Kingdom script, and how to awaken herself, in a book.

and used the method of confusing the mind to manipulate a passing royal guard to send the book out of the palace, and Chu Yingxuan had no way of knowing the specific whereabouts of the book.

The purpose of her doing this is that no matter how much this book is tossed and turned outside, no matter how many people it goes through, once it finally falls into the hands of someone who can understand the characters of this Lotus Immortal Kingdom, then she will hopefully be awakened.

And her purpose in deliberately writing this book in the Lotus Immortal Kingdom script is to make this book look more mysterious, to give ordinary mortals a feeling worth cherishing, and they will not destroy it at will.

The second is to ensure that the person who understands this book is also a person who has the ability to awaken her, otherwise it is meaningless for someone who does not have the ability to awaken her to understand.

The above is the story of the legend of Danying House and Chu Yingxuan in ancient books.

And after Yanyu finished translating this ancient book in Wenyuan Pavilion before, he knew that there was such a magical legend in the light shadow building in the northwest corner of the palace Yeting Cold Palace.

Therefore, I know that the so-called haunting in the light shadow building is actually different.

That is a woman named Chu Yingxuan, after actually cultivating a kind of faint shadow dormancy illusion of the Lotus Immortal Kingdom, she entered a special dormant state, but she used the blinding method of hanging and feigning her death to confuse everyone, and let her dormant body wander in the light shadow building all day long by possessing other shadows.

And the reason why she allowed herself to enter this shadow-like dormant state was that she could live forever without eating or drinking.

Second, she is also waiting for the day when someone like her who belongs to the bloodline of the Lotus Immortal Kingdom will wake her up, and then take her back to the Immortal Kingdom to live a new life completely different from the mortal realm.

Moreover, it is also mentioned in the ancient books that if one day, if anyone can wake her up and promise to take her back to the Lotus Immortal Kingdom one day, she will recognize the other party as the master, and will never abandon her, and will always protect her master wholeheartedly.

It is precisely because the experience of this woman named Chu Yingxuan is too magical, and she has unfortunately fallen into the Liansheng Kingdom like Yanyu, so Yanyu also has a feeling that the end of the world has fallen at the same time.

I couldn't bear to be so pitifully in a state of permanent dormancy all the time, so after coming out of Wenyuan Pavilion, I rushed here with the Phantom Lotus as soon as possible, wanting to use her Lotus Immortal Kingdom bloodline to try to help wake up Chu Yingxuan.

It's a pity that the words of the royal guards made her understand that this light shadow building is not a place where she can enter casually if she wants to.

I'm afraid everything has to be considered in the long run......
