"No matter where you come from, I want you to be safe when you come and follow the rules, or else...... No one can guarantee your safety. ”

I was stunned for a moment, I could understand what she meant, but I didn't know what the so-called rules she was referring to. And this woman, who was transformed into a black panther, seemed to see the doubts in my heart, and said with a smile that as for this rule, it is actually very simple, only one point.

"Don't let anyone here find out who you really are, that's the only rule you have to follow."

"This ...... Well, Sister Black Panther, can you give me a little more details? ”

The woman shook her head, saying that she had said everything she had to say, and that there was nothing else to tell me. If I don't follow the rules during my time here, I'll disappear forever, and if I do, I'll be able to leave safely.

The more I listened, the more confused my mind became, and I couldn't help but ask her what the hell was this place? I entered this space through a prophetic dream, but everything that is happening now tells me that it is not just a dream.

The woman smiled slightly, and said that this is indeed a dream, but it is not your dream. It's a separate space, it doesn't belong to anyone.

This time it was you who came here, but before you, I don't know how many people have been to this place, and some people followed the rules and left alive, but some people didn't make it.

I sighed, lifted my thick arms, and asked her what was the matter with me now that I became a chimpanzee? The woman raised an eyebrow and smiled and said that she needed to change back to the panther during the day, which was very fair.

"Fair? Fair what! When I first arrived, I was treated like a brute, and I was almost slaughtered by a stranger during the day - yes! Now I'm so hungry, how can I survive this kind of life! ”

When she heard my complaints, instead of showing sympathy, the woman covered her mouth and giggled. Later, she told me that it was a curse, that this space did not welcome outsiders, and that every outsider would suffer from the Transfiguration Curse.

As she spoke, the woman also turned her head to look at the altar that seemed to be unremarkable, saying that the curse came from this altar. And if you can follow the rules and stay for a while, you will soon get a short time to recover.

I was stunned for a moment, looked at the woman in front of me, and said Then you mean that you yourself are cursed? Are you an outsider too?

The woman was silent for a moment, and said, "I am none of them, and you will know about this later." And now...... Hehe, I think you should be most concerned about your own problems.

"In this White Deer Mountain, there are birds and beasts of prey, although you have become a chimpanzee, but you don't have the knowledge of chimpanzees, if you want to live in this forest...... It's not as easy as you think. ”

Hearing her say this, I couldn't help crying for a while, and hurriedly explained to her that I didn't come here to experience life as a chimpanzee, but only fell into a prophetic dream in desperation, so I entered this space, and now I don't know how to leave.

The woman listened quietly without interrupting me as I explained, and when I finished, she only asked one question.

"You came to White Deer Mountain, probably to explore the secrets of the Ming Kingdom, right?" I was stunned when I heard this, looked at her calm eyes, inexplicably felt a little weak, and nodded quietly. The woman said that's it, you're not innocent at all.

Even, compared to those who wander on the top of White Deer Mountain all year round, enter the entrance and die because they can't find the entrance to the ruins of Myeongjeong, your luck is already good. This time, it's a great opportunity for you.

If you can grasp it, you will be able to grasp the key to the ruins of Myeongjeong. Doesn't that still appeal to you? Looking at the faint smile on the woman's face, I hurriedly shook my head, indicating that I needed a clue too much now.

I'm good, Hu Lao Liu, I only know a little about the legend of the Ming Kingdom, and now according to this woman, it seems that I am not in danger, but have obtained a golden opportunity?

Hu Lao Liu told me before that finding the Jiuxun elk and then following it all the way is the way to get the key, which is a little different from this woman's statement. So I also truthfully relayed what Hu Lao Liu told me to the woman in front of me.

"This sentence itself is true, but you will be mistaken - you have entered this space now, which is equivalent to starting to follow the Nine Elk."

I was stunned for a moment, tilted my head and said curiously, but I hadn't found the Jiuxun elk before. The woman said, you may not have found the Nine Elk, but the Nine Elk must have found you, otherwise, you would not be able to enter this space.

Young man, you say that you have the ability to dream prophetically—I have seen many demon slayers like you, but you had better remember that with the power of your mortals, it is impossible to probe and find this place. Everything is the choice of the Nine Elk.

I scratched my head, then pointed to my orangutan face, and wondered, "Do you mean that I became a chimpanzee here because of the choice of the Nine Elk?" The woman nodded in satisfaction and said that this was the case.

I asked her what she should do next, and she said that it would be good to just wait and see, and that being the best way for outsiders to keep themselves safe is to follow the rules.

After informing me of all this, and without waiting for me to ask questions, I saw the woman's body once again transform into the familiar black panther, but this time I saw that it did not feel fierce, but felt that the smooth fur and steady step seemed elegant.

Before leaving, Sister Black Panther rubbed my chest lightly with her huge head, and my heartbeat actually increased inexplicably. After that, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, I really lived for a long time, I didn't expect that one day I would be tempted by a leopard.

But this time, the appearance of Sister Black Panther also brought me a lot of help. First of all, I figured out that I didn't really become a gorilla, but that I had just randomly become what I was because of a spell called Transfiguration.

According to her, it seems that since the past, those who were lucky enough to enter this mysterious space have all been cursed by the Transfiguration Curse without exception. She didn't know why she had to accept this curse, which was why she still needed to turn into a panther today.

As for the entity of this space, although Sister Black Panther said that she has nothing to say, I have also made some guesses myself. I remember that Hu Laoliu told me that Queen Mingjing was a tyrant, and after she took office, in order to strengthen the national strength of her own country, she also adopted a high-pressure policy against many small countries around her.

Queen Mingjing, who burned and looted all kinds of evil, died young after completely ruling the surrounding countries with fear. And after the death of Queen Mingjing, the revenge from the surrounding countries completely washed the Mingjing Kingdom.

This is also an important reason why the Myeongjeong Kingdom finally became extinct and disappeared after the generation of Queen Myeongjeong. According to folklore, there is an explanation that Queen Jing died of disease, and there is also an explanation that Queen Jing was assassinated.

But the most popular and widely circulated theory is the statement that Queen Mingjing was punished by heaven for excessive atrocities and died violently. And Hu Lao Liu also told me that he himself is more inclined to believe in the third type.

Because although the strength of Queen Myeongjeong at that time was not recorded in the annals of history, those who know the truth can probably understand what a terrible person Queen Myeongjeong led the country of Myeongjeong thousands of years ago by speculating a little bit based on clues.

Queen Myeongjeong was the first and last queen of the Myeongjeong Kingdom, and the Myeongjeong Dynasty ushered in an unprecedentedly powerful dynasty in her hands, but at the same time, it gradually went to ruin in her hands.

Of course, you can also say that this is the reincarnation of cause and effect, but you have to admit that Queen Myeongjeong is strong herself. After listening to the story of Queen Mingjing, I personally think that the empress who can be compared with her is estimated to be Wu Zetian.

According to my speculation, the Silk Road princess I saw during the day is likely to be the future Queen Mingjing. And if you think about it this way, you can understand that the space and era I am in now are likely to be the infancy of Queen Myeongjing. That little elk is also proof.

Hu Lao Liu has never seen a juvenile Jiuxun elk, but he has seen an adult, and the adult Jiuxun elk is much more beautiful than what I have seen today. I think we just need to observe this for a while.

Although I don't know if the elk is the same as the average elk, I have heard that the antler velvet of the elk grows very quickly, and even if it is not treated for a long time, it will fall off automatically. It's like a snake shedding its skin.

This time the prophetic dream was full of surprises, but at the same time, it also made me look forward to it. The panther said that I was able to enter this space because of the gift of the Nine Elk, so doesn't this mean that I was chosen by the Nine Elk?

There is no particularly good opportunity in the first place, and this time I must of course take advantage of it, and I must not miss this great opportunity in vain. With that in mind, I threw myself into life as a chimpanzee.

But the days that followed were unexpectedly easier for me, and the reason why it became like this was because of the Silk Road Princess. First of all, with the help of Sister Black Panther, intentionally or unintentionally, I first got the approval of the dragon - I became the guardian of the back garden in a daze.

The back garden in the middle of White Deer Mountain is a separate space for the Silk Road Princess, who often comes here to play on her days off. The main thing is to take care of the Jiuxun elk. The elk is still too young to be in danger if left unprotected.

And the task I was given by the dragon was to protect the Silk Road Princess when the Silk Road Princess came here, and when the Silk Road Princess was away, I took on the bodyguard of the Jiuxun Elk. It's also a great help for me.

I usually don't have much contact with the Silk Road Princess, and I say it's protection, but in fact, I just hang it on a tree not far away, and then watch to see if there are any ignorant beasts trying to get close to the Silk Road Princess and the Jiuxun Elk.

More often than not, I've been with the two elks. At the beginning, Jiuxun Elk was quite resistant to me, and it's no wonder who made our first impression of meeting so bad.
