"Legend has it that the Goddess of Tongming fell after a battle with the Supreme Corpse Emperor of the Dire Clan, and the Corpse Emperor, who is known as invincible, was also severely injured and sealed. In order to pay tribute to the goddess of Tongming, ancient craftsmen forged ten 100-meter colosses, which were cast by special materials and did not change their color even if they were exposed to the wind and sun. Later, the ten great empires on earth divided these ten colossal statues for the people to commemorate. ”

"Except for the East, the colossas of the other nine countries are all arranged in the imperial capital, and the East Kingdom placed it in the Rising Sun City because the legend says that the location of the Rising Sun City is the birthplace of the Tongming Goddess, but at that time there was no Eastern Kingdom, and there was no Rising Sun City, but the legend was too far away to verify."

A lot of the content of "The Legend of the Goddess of Tongming" is apocryphal, and the legends that are too old are not very credible, but the last statement is worth referencing.

"I see, no wonder such an important statue was placed in the third city of the Eastern Kingdom, not the capital." Zhan Yue nodded, then put down the book and hurried out the door.

"Go to the statue of the goddess." Zhan Yue casually found a car at the door of the inn, and went straight to the statue of the goddess of Tongming.

"The guest officer also went to pay homage to the statue of the goddess? I know a good place to see it. The driver enthusiastically suggested.

"Oh? Yes, it's faster, I'm in a hurry. Zhan Yue went back there only to make sure where that particular throbbing was coming from.

As soon as the driver heard that he was in a hurry, he immediately accelerated. His cart was not a rickshaw, but was pulled by a pony-like creature that was extremely endurable and suitable for transportation.

Soon the driver took Zhan Yue to his destination, which was a nine-story top floor where a teahouse was opened, and the teahouse was facing the front of the statue of the goddess, which was not particularly difficult to admire the statue of the goddess not far away.

"Boss, I've brought you another guest, remember my share," the coachman whispered as he pulled the teahouse owner aside. The owner of the teahouse was a tall and thin old man, with a shrewd look at him, and he whispered: "Naturally, there will be no shortage of you, how much he spends here, one-tenth of which is your reward." ”

Zhan Yue, who was not far away, naturally didn't pay attention to their cattiness, just ordered a pot of good tea, and sat by the window to 'admire' the statue of the goddess.

Sure enough, the throbbing reappeared. What is it? "Zhan Yue still can't determine the source of the throbbing, only that it is near the statue of the goddess." I'm afraid I'll have to get close to the statue of the goddess to find it. ”

The sun was shining obliquely, and soon it was about to set, and the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the body of the 'sun goddess', dyeing her with a sacred color. Soon after, several soldiers in armor appeared underneath the statue of the goddess, operating on a stone pillar behind the statue. Zhan Yue, who noticed this detail, immediately asked the boss who was adding water to him.

"Boss, what are they doing there? Isn't the statue of the goddess guarded by a guard? Zhan Yue asked curiously.

The teahouse owner looked down and knew what was going on, and said not at all strangely: "Maintaining the ban on the statue of the goddess requires a bright stone, and they are replacing the ban with a bright stone." "The owner went to serve the other guests after changing the water.

Sure enough, the prohibition surrounding the statue disappeared for a moment, and the white cordon on the ground disappeared as well. The only flaw is the gap in the replacement of the bright stone! Zhan Yue looked at the time on her wrist and kept this time in mind. In fact, the statue of the goddess does not need any guards, the material is not something that ordinary people can destroy, and there is no need to worry about who steals such a huge statue. The ban was only to prevent anyone from approaching the statue of the goddess, and after all these years, there has been no problem with the statue of the goddess.

Gradually, the guests of the teahouse left, and the people who admired the colossus below also dispersed. Although the city is still bright at night, people have to rest after all. Only a few sporadic lowly migrant workers who work night shifts are still around.

When Zhan Yue left, the teahouse was already closed, and he walked alone on the bright street with some trepidation, "No matter what, I have to confirm it." ”

He was a thief and approached the statue very carefully, but there was no one around the statue at the moment, but he was too worried. Soon, at great speed, he approached the stone pillar he had seen during the day, which was the source of the prohibition.

"Status Backtrack!" Zhan Yue came to the Ten Thousand Souls Realm to exert his ability for the second time, but he used it to steal chickens and dogs. Soon the state of the stone pillar was traced back to the moment before the replacement of the Tongming Stone in the afternoon, and the entire prohibition instantly lost its effect, and the forbidden wall that blocked outsiders from entering disappeared silently. A large living man walked in without triggering any alarms.

When Zhan Yue entered, the energy of the Tongming Stone once again awakened the prohibition.

"Not good? How did the ban restart? Zhan Yue was shocked, this was not in his plan, but he didn't know about the forbidden backup energy, although the stone pillar was retraced by him, back to the time when there was no energy replenishment, causing the ban to expire for a short time. However, the prohibition actually has a backup energy source underground, but when the stone pillar cannot provide energy, the backup energy will be automatically activated.

"It's over..."Zhanyue knew that she was locked inside, and she couldn't get out now. He was too eager to know the answer, and he underestimated the caution of the people in this world.

"If you want to die, you have to be a ghost, I want to know what is calling to me!" No longer thinking about what was going on, Zhan Yue soon came to the soles of the Colossus' feet, and the throbbing became clearer and clearer as he approached the Colossus.

"Sure enough, the center is this colossus, but my contract can't be such a big colossus." Zhan Yue was a little dazed, this matter is too weird, what's the use of contracting such a big statue? What's more important is how to explain and explain to others, whoever blasphemes the idol will die, and if the idol is contracted, it will be fine.

"No, if it is true that the deed statue is contracted, maybe I still have a chance of life, after all, according to the "Contractor's Regulations", the ownership of the deed's deed belongs to the deed, and the original owner of the lost item will be paid by the state in advance, and the money will be slowly repaid to the state by the decontractor. The law of the eastern kingdom is strict, and if I really contract the idol of the god, then according to the law, the idol belongs to me. ”

However, when Zhan Yue placed his hand on the idol, the expected contract was not concluded, and the idol was not his contract! At the moment when Zhan Yue panicked, his whole person was pulled into the statue by a mysterious force.

The statue was extremely empty, but it emitted a faint white light, and there was only a crystal coffin in the empty space, and the transparent coffin could vaguely see a corpse lying inside.

"It's... What the hell is going on? My contract can't be this coffin. Zhan Yue had the courage to put her hand on the coffin, and at this moment she had too many doubts in her mind, where was this place and whose coffin it was. Yet nothing happened, and the coffin was not his contract.

“…… Could it be that my contract is a funerary object in this coffin...... It's a lot of fun. Zhan Yue already had some cold sweat on his forehead, how could he be so close to the opening of the museum.

"My lord, although I don't know who you are, I don't mean to offend, but the throbbing in my heart comes from the coffin, and if there is no deed, I am afraid that I will not escape death. So offended. Zhan Yue mourned at the coffin, he didn't want to disturb others' rest, but there was no way.

Push the lid of the coffin open, and what lies inside is not white bones, but a 'living' corpse!! The female corpse was dressed in a white dress and a white dress, and wore a golden crown on her head, which was inlaid with a sunburst case, and a red gemstone was inlaid in the center of the sunburst case, which was dazzling. Long black hair was pillowed under the head, up to the waist, black and bright.

When Zhan Yue stopped looking at the woman's face, the whole person was stunned, and the pale skin showed the fact that she was a corpse, but the perfect facial features had not been seen in this life. The bright red lips were like red plums in the snow, and the closed eyes made Zhan Yue feel a pain in her heart, and such a beautiful woman like a fairy lay cold like this. Zhan Yue never imagined that he could feel the word holiness from a dead corpse, yes, it was holy, so holy that he had some urge to bow and worship, this is the so-called 'divinity'.

Dressed in white and dressed, wearing a golden crown, holy and pure, who is this corpse? What is the object of my contract? Zhan Yue looked at the empty coffin and said, where are the funeral goods inside.
