Chapter 33 of the Strange Rock Island Chapter: The Rugged Moran Imperial Palace
"Na Lan Lin, do you know the origin of this ruin?" I asked quietly.
"I think I've seen it in some old books...... Master, do you remember the Xuanyuan Sect I mentioned to you last time?" asked Na Lanlin.
"Remember, what's wrong?" I asked, puzzled.
"This palace and Xuanyuan Sect are from the same era...... I remember that there was a person named Jia Gu at that time, this person was born with a high attainment in building rooms, and it is said that the palaces of the late Gu Shen Clan and the early Xuanyuan Sect were built by him. At that time, a person found him, and this person's name was Qi Nanzuo. He was a very ambitious person, and he wanted to take advantage of the weakening of the ancient god clan and the failure of the Xuanyuan Sect to rule the entire world realm in one go. He founded a kingdom called the other side by himself, so he hired Jia Gu to help him build a palace. Na Lan Lin said.
"And what happened later?" I asked.
"Later...... The ancient god clan gradually declined, but the Xuanyuan Sect rose rapidly. In less than a year, the last force of the southwest was wiped out by the Chihi Valley River. Therefore, this rugged Moran Imperial Palace has not yet been built, and it has become an ownerless thing, and the most difficult thing may be because the mainland is gradually divided, and no one knows the palace anymore, and it has slowly become what it is now. Na Lan Lin said.
"That's a shame. I said.
"But there's another legend that has been handed down...... Nalanlin said.
"What legend?" I asked.
"Legend has it that Jia Gu disappeared after the construction of the Rugged Gu Moran Imperial Palace, and some people say that he hid in this Imperial Palace. Na Lan Lin said.
The three of us walked together in this ancient palace with a history of hundreds of billions of years, and we didn't know what Lu Dao's sister was doing in this kind of place? I just heard Indigo say that this is her sister's dream since she was a child, what kind of dream is this......
"Shengtian, it's so dark in here!" Zhao Weiwei said, pulling my clothes.
So I condensed a fire orb to illuminate it, but even if it did, we still got lost in it, and the place was a huge labyrinth.
"Brother Tiansheng, it looks like we're lost. Indigo said.
"I'm not afraid to get lost...... I quickly spread my soul power perception out of the labyrinth, and soon saw the layout of the entire labyrinth clearly, but if I were an ordinary person, I would have been trapped to death by this labyrinth.
I now admire two people very much in my heart, one is Jia Gu, the builder of the palace, it is a miracle that he actually built a huge palace like a labyrinth in just over a year. The second is Indigo's sister, how did she get out of this labyrinth, or is his sister still getting lost in a corner of this labyrinth.
"Ah...... Be careful!Zero-Freeze" I instantly released Zero Freeze as I sensed several short guns flying towards me. I hugged Zhao Weiwei and rolled out of the way, and the few flying robberies directly smashed and froze and stuck on the ground.
"Brother Tiansheng, the only sister, are you all right?"
"Shengtian, thank you for saving me again. Zhao Weiwei stood up and said shyly.
"If you die here, then I didn't save you in vain last time. I said with a smile.
We navigated around the traps and finally got out of the huge labyrinth, where we were presented with a place similar to a sacrificial use, with a huge altar and some strange totem poles.
"Indigo, where is your sister?" I asked, looking around.
Suddenly, the torches around the altar were suddenly lit, and the whole place was made clear, and life was noisy, and we saw a group of people around the altar and coaxing as if they were going to kill someone.
"That'...... That's my sister. Indigo pointed to the man tied to the crystal pillar of the altar and shouted loudly.
"Indigo, calm down, it's just a memory image left by our ancestors. I grabbed Indigo, who was about to rush up, and said.
......
"Your Royal Highness, you will go on an expedition tomorrow, and you will sacrifice her ......flag today," a young man said loudly.
"What did she do wrong to kill her?" asked an old man.
"She has an evil dragon totem that symbolizes bad luck, and she will bring terrible disasters to our country. The young man said loudly.
"Kill her...... Kill her......" The people below began to heckle.
"Everyone, be quiet...... This is just an old legend, and you don't think it's cruel to kill a living life with such an illusory thing......" said the old man.
We don't need to be merciful to such evil spirits. Our beloved Royal Highness the King was going on an expedition yesterday, and if keeping this woman would bring any bad luck to His Royal Highness, I wonder if Lord Lu Dao Guocheng will be able to take on this responsibility?" the young man asked.
"This ......," the old man didn't know what to say.
"Alright, don't talk about it, let's start the sacrifice. King Qi Nanzuo said.
The young woman was burned alive by them tied to a crystal pillar, and in the fire I could see a young black dragon detach from the woman's arm and then fly away and disappear from sight.
......
"These people are so cruel that they actually burned a woman alive for a legend. Zhao Wei said indignantly.
"What a legend, the most rearly saki Nanzuo is not dead. I said angrily.
"This burned man looks exactly like my sister, and I remember that my sister also had a totem on her arm, as if it was the dragon totem they said about representing bad luck. Indigo said.
"Let's go inside, your sister should be inside. I said.
After reading this memory image, I seem to understand something, Indigo's sister should have found that this burned woman was the same as herself, so she came to unlock the secret of this totem on her arm.
Soon after, we walked into a splendid hall, where all the decorations were made of various precious stones, and the six pillars used for support were carved with dragons, phoenixes, lions and tigers. Directly above the hall is a golden throne, gold and gems make the whole throne look golden, it is simply a tool used by local tyrants to show off their wealth.
"This should be the place where Qi Nanzuo is meeting. I said.
"It's so luxuriously built here, I don't know how many coins it cost. Zhao Weiwei said.
"He's a king, and that's not surprising. I said.
We didn't stay here long because our purpose was to find Indigo's sister. So we continued inside, and after passing through the dormitory, the prison, the kitchen, and so on, we came to an open field.
"Shengtian, what kind of place is this?" Zhao Wei asked.
"If I'm not mistaken, it's a garden without flowers. I said.
"Indigo, why are you here?" asked a woman as she walked over.
Because I had seen the woman who was burned to death before, I knew that the person who came from the Tao was Indigo's sister. After all these walks, I finally found it, but I have to admire how she got here.
"Sister, I've found you!" said Indigo with a smile.
"Looking for me?" said Indigo's sister suspiciously.
"Brother Tiansheng, the only sister, let me introduce to you, she is my sister Shan Rou. Indigo said.
After that, Indigo explained his purpose and introduced me and Zhao Weiwei to Shanrou, and Shan Rou was also surprised that the three of us were able to get to this position for the first time. I heard her say that she had spent ten years entering this place again and again, just like playing a game, each time she traveled a certain distance to understand the structures and mechanisms, so that she could go further next time.
"Sister, I still don't understand what you're doing here again and again?" indigo asked.
"It's for that dragon totem on your arm. I said.
"You...... That's right, the impact of that burned girl was too great for me, and although she died in no apparent terms, I had to find out the secret of a totem. I don't believe in that so-called legend, I don't believe that this totem can bring bad luck...... If...... If it is true as the legend goes...... I've been staying in this palace all the time, and I want to bring bad luck to my mother and the whole of Dew Drop Island. Shan Rou said.
"I don't believe my sister will bring bad luck either!" Indigo said firmly.
"I don't believe it either!" Zhao Weiwei said.
"Let's go with you to find it. I said with a smile.
In this way, our team became four people, and together they walked towards the deepest part of the rugged Moran Imperial Palace. There will be something waiting for a few of us there, and will there be a secret of the evil dragon totem......
