Chapter 26 Rules
"Are they really craving food?"
Qin Manjing had speculation in her heart, but her thoughts alone were less corroborative after all. She also wanted to hear what Baili Xuanjing thought.
Baili Xuanjing raised his eyes, and he looked around silently.
In the air, the smell of barbecue and blood was spreading, and the group of people looked like they were hungry no matter how they looked.
He shook his head and said to Qin Manjing, "I don't see anything special. ”
Qin Manjing thought back to her experience during this time.
After entering the secret realm, she practiced in the hot spring pool for fifteen days, and when she withdrew from cultivation, she consolidated her cultivation again, so she was delayed for another three days before she came here.
And for the entire eighteen days, Qin Manjing didn't eat a single bite of food, not even Bigu Dan.
As an immortal cultivator, even if her physique is stronger, she still hasn't Bigu, and it is impossible for her to completely stop eating.
She thought it was very strange at the time, but now that she thought of the strangeness of this palace, she brought it up again.
A lot of things came into Qin Manjing's mind in a chaotic manner, but she still didn't find the real crux of the problem.
It also takes a key point that ties all the pieces together.
If she couldn't find this crux of the matter, she might not be able to touch the true face of this palace for the rest of her life.
Qin Manjing pondered, and then asked a question, she asked Baili Xuanjing, "Where did you find the rules of the palace you said before?" ”
After listening to this, he replied truthfully, "At first, my eighth brother told me, and then I found out some of them myself. ”
As he spoke, he pointed to Baili Xuanmin, who was leaning against the wall.
Qin Manjing followed the direction of his finger and looked at Baili Xuanmin, who was sitting in the corner. He wasn't eating like the others, but sat silently, frowning, and endured something.
"That's my mother's brother." Baili Xuanjing thought about it and added this sentence.
With such a relationship, there is a high probability that there will be no hidden things when telling the palace secrets. In this way, Baili Xuanjing wanted to deepen the credibility of the palace rules he had just mentioned.
In fact, Qin Manjing already knew about this matter when she came to the secret realm on the first day.
Maybe Baili Xuanjing didn't realize that from the first day he entered the secret realm, his eyes fell on Baili Xuanmin from time to time, and he always called him 'Eighth Brother'.
If Qin Manjing couldn't detect the relationship between them like this, then she would be really stupid.
Thinking of Baili Xuanjing's identity as the prince, she naturally guessed that Baili Xuanmin was the eighth prince.
At that time, what she estimated was that the second prince and the eighth prince were siblings.
However, Qin Manjing didn't have any other abnormal reactions, just quietly listened to Baili Xuanjing's words.
"The eighth brother came to the secret realm earlier than us, so he should have figured out the rules of this palace."
Qin Manjing is noncommittal, sometimes it is a very vague concept to figure out. Some people think that even if they understand the surface, they will find out, while some people will find out if they have to dig into the root cause and trace the source.
The level of clarification needed depends on why the one thing is needed.
But obviously, in the so-called palace matter, the rules that Baili Xuanjing said were not enough for Qin Manjing to understand this palace thoroughly.
"Once you have been forcibly fed by the palace like this, you will never be able to eat enough food from other foods." She silently recited what Baili Xuanjing had said before.
Suddenly, Qin Manjing found that there was a very important thing that she had overlooked.
"You said that people who have been fed by the palace can't eat enough other food, so what can only be fed if they eat?" There was a glimmer in her eyes, as if she had touched the crux of the problem.
Baili Xuanjing was stunned for a moment when he heard her say this, he thought about it for a while, and then came back to his senses.
She wasn't here just a while, so it was normal not to know about these things.
"There is only one way to crack it, and that is to let the palace eat people and then feed them back to everyone, so that the hunger will disappear for a while." Baili Xuanjing explained.
"Or there is another possible way not to borrow the hand of the palace and eat ...... directly"
He was silent for a moment, "This is all my speculation, I don't know if it's true or not." ”
Qin Manjing was stunned, the impact of this incident on her was not small.
What she had guessed in her mind before was that she needed to eat something rich in aura, such as Bigu Dan. But she didn't expect the answer to be this.
Therefore, the famine that Qin Manjing did was not due to a shortage of food, but the result of the rules of the palace.
The palace made it necessary for humans to eat their own kind to satisfy their hunger even when there was almost enough food, so that humans could kill each other.
Qin Manjing thought of this truth in an instant.
In an instant, her train of thought suddenly broadened, "Baili Xuanjing, let me ask you, when was the last time the palace ate people?" ”
She asked because she had one thing in mind.
Baili Xuanjing said that the palace will feed back the people who eat it to everyone. Whether everyone here is from the side hall or the entire palace.
You must know that although Qin Manjing does not stay with them, she is always in the palace.
Baili Xuanjing thought for a moment and replied to her, "Three days ago." ”
Qin Manjing remembered that three days ago, it was when she had just quit cultivation.
At that time, the system once asked her if she wanted to eat a Bigu Dan, and she replied that she was not hungry, so she didn't eat it.
According to common sense, Qin Manjing would not have a sense of hunger during cultivation. But when she quit cultivating, she would feel the hunger that had accumulated for a long time.
If it happened to be the feedback of Baili Xuanjing's so-called palace at that time, then all this would make sense.
Qin Manjing was also confined to the rules of the palace.
But she never felt anything out of the ordinary, because she didn't feel any hunger until now.
Qin Manjing didn't feel endless hunger like the others in this side hall, and she would endure until she collapsed.
She can almost say that she has no symptoms, or that she has no symptoms for the time being.
Qin Manjing corrected herself in her heart, if she just didn't show the same symptoms like a person in the side hall for the time being, then what could be the possible reason?
Probably because she is an immortal cultivator, which is different from the physique of mortals. Now her body is much stronger than the average mortal.
And whether there were other immortal cultivators in this secret realm, Qin Manjing didn't know.
If you put aside this idea, you can think of the rules of the palace.
Qin Manjing suddenly realized another thing, and this incident seemed to be the biggest difference between her and others.
Even Qin Manjing felt that this was the truth.
