Draw lots, no, no!" Shang Xingjie immediately objected, "I almost lost my life by beating those four monsters, how can I decide the ......ownership of the magic weapon that I got with great difficulty? By which ...... Uh......" His words were stuck, because he scanned everyone, and he couldn't find a person who didn't think he had much effort and was not qualified to have a magic weapon at all.

As Xiao Tianhe said, everyone did their best, and everyone's injuries are the best proof.

"I think the way to draw lots is good. Zhou Wenxuan agreed, "Everyone relies on luck, fair and reasonable, and no one will be unconvinced." ”

Xiang Zhongyang also agreed: "Let's draw lots." A girl was willing to sacrifice herself to save us, and the three of us just took a magic weapon, which was really unbearable. ”

"Why can't you even ...... the two of you" Shang Xingjie was annoyed, "That's it, whatever you want, you didn't catch the magic weapon by then, wait and regret it!"

Hua Qingyu touched Ye Linglong and whispered: "Look, the three emperors are of equal strength, but they are of high moral character. ”

"yes. In fact, I don't care about the magic weapon at all, I care more about Xiao Gongzi......" Ye Linglong glanced sideways at Xiao Tianhe, who was full of melancholy.

"He's not going to be out of the cracks, he's stronger than you might expect. The woman he loved at the beginning disappeared in front of him, didn't she survive the same? Give him some time. "Hua Qingyu said.

"Wait!" Shang Xingjie suddenly stopped Shi Potian, who was about to make a lot, and said coldly, "I can't believe what you did." ”

"Fault!" Shi Potian pushed his arm away, and was about to have a seizure, but Jin Chanyu inserted herself between the two and said to Shang Xingjie: "Then it's up to you to make the lot." ”

Shang Xingjie brushed his beard: "That's exactly what I mean." ”

Shi Potian shook his sleeves angrily and stepped aside.

The twelve lots were quickly made and placed in a corner of the table by Shang Xingjie. He just wanted to reach out and grab one, but Shi Potian held down his arm: "Slow!"

Shang Xingjie glared at him.

"How do we know if you secretly made some marks? I can't believe the lot you made!"

"It's ridiculous, I, Shang Xingjie, have always been wise people and don't do dark things!"

"It doesn't matter if you do dark things or not, I just can't believe it!"

"And what do you say?"

Shi Potian grinned: "It's very simple, because you made the lot, so you have to catch it last." ”

"You ......" Shang Xingjie was so angry that his face was red, but he couldn't vent, and his anger showed that he really had a ghost in his heart.

"Heh, it looks like you agree. Shi Potian deliberately took away the lot that Shang Xingjie wanted to catch just now.

"Whatever you want, I didn't do anything anyway. Shang Xingjie took two steps back with his arms crossed, and after watching everyone step forward and take away the lots one by one, he grabbed the last lot on the platform in his hand.

As a result, the three people who caught the word "de" were: Jin Chanyu, You Xuantong, and Xiao Tianhe.

"They were all taken by their gang!" Shang Xingjie's expression looked very unwilling, but he had no choice but to sprinkle his resentment on the lottery, tear it to pieces, and throw it on the ground.

"Alas, who told us that we don't have that luck?" Zhou Wenxuan was much more generous, and when he said that, his expression was not at all frustrated.

In the end, Jin Chanyu took the brush, You Xuantong took the wine glass, and Xiao Tianhe left the folding fan.

After You Xuantong got the magic weapon, he couldn't wait to drip blood to recognize the master, but after the blood dripped on the wine glass, nothing happened. "Isn't it a magic weapon?" You Xuantong exclaimed. You Xuanda answered: "That's too unlucky. ”

"Haha!" Shang Xingjie gloated, "Anyway, you've run out of opportunities." If there is another treasure, the three of you can't ask for it, and we have to draw lots. He's probably forgotten what he said, "Since I'm not a baby, I'll have to have a share when I meet a real baby."

"How can it not be a magic weapon? The feeling of this magic weapon can't be wrong!" Xiang Zhongyang didn't believe it, walked to Xiao Tianhe's side, and carefully looked at the folding fan in his hand.

"If you are sure that it is a magic weapon, but you can't drip blood to recognize the Lord...... There seems to be only one possibility," Zhou Wenxuan guessed, "These magic weapons still have their own masters!"

"Is there a master?" Shang Xingjie looked around, "The forest is ruined, and the four spirits are indeed dead, where does the Lord come from?"

"Except for us here," "Could it be that there are other people?" Brother You's words made everyone vigilant again.

"That's right. A faint voice came from above, startling everyone, and they drew their swords and swords, witnessing a black shadow slowly falling, standing in front of the stone platform.

The man was wearing a hooded cloak and could not see his face, but judging by his voice and figure, he should be a man. The sleeves of his coat were long and large, and from them protruded a lampstick, from which a lantern hung from it. Strangely, the candle flame in the lantern is not the usual yellow, but the color of red.

"Who are you?" Shang Xingjie asked.

"I am the steward of the Burning Heaven Palace. You can call me ...... Steward Meng. The man replied. His voice was hollow and hoarse, and his tone was steady, and he seemed to be a man of indifferent temperament.

Shang Xingjie laughed dryly: "It's really funny, there is actually a housekeeper in the Burning Heaven Palace? Are you in charge of those monsters to kill us?"

"Come to the Burning Heaven Palace to look for treasures, how can you come at will and leave at will? Steward Meng said.

Zhou Wenxuan said: "We have already died alone, but we haven't caught any treasures, these three magic weapons already have the master." ”

"If you can bring the magic weapon out of the Burning Heaven Palace, the confession will naturally be lifted. Steward Meng explained.

Jin Chanyu played with the brush in her hand: "In other words, it can't be used in the Burning Heaven Palace?"

"Exactly. ”

"Steward Meng, have we passed this level?" asked Hua Qingyu.

"Yes. Steward Meng said, "The earth robbery layer has passed. I'm here to lead you to the next level. With that, he shook his lantern behind the stone platform, and a gate slowly emerged from the ground.

"Before I get into the Martian layer, though, I have a question

I'm going to ask you. Steward Meng turned around, "Are you willing to quit the Burning Heaven Palace, if you withdraw, all the treasures you have obtained will be returned to me......

"Quit, what are you kidding?" After Shang Xingjie learned that those three were really magic weapons, he couldn't wait to enter the next layer.

"Oh well. Steward Meng pushed open the door, and inside the door was a dark and secluded passage. Then, he stepped back to the door and made a "please" gesture.

A group of mermaids rushed in. Xiao Tianhe looked back at the place where Zhao Xianglin had died and sighed.

"Brother Tianxiao, don't be too sad first," He Tianyao dragged him, "I have a faint feeling that Sister Zhao's death is ...... It doesn't seem that simple. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Xiao Tianhe wondered.

He Tianyao shook his head slightly: "I can't say it either." Remember, I once told you that I always felt like something was calling me in the depths of the Burning Heaven Palace. ”

"Yes. It is what you feel after the prince broke the ban on the middle palace ring. Do you still feel that way now?"

"Yes. And after entering the Burning Heaven Palace, that feeling became even stronger. I have another feeling that this Burning Heaven Palace is not the dangerous place where we think of treasures. ”

"What does this have to do with Sister Zhao's death?"

"Now I'm just guessing, what if the so-called 'dangerous' is actually some kind of test?" He Tianyao said seriously.

Xiao Tianhe happily pressed He Tianyao's shoulders: "Ah, you mean, Sister Zhao will 'come back from the dead'?"

He Tianyao hurriedly said, "I didn't say that. No matter how strong the feeling is, it is impossible to confirm it at this time. However, after all, Sister Zhao's soul ascension to heaven and body disillusionment are not normal deaths at all, so no matter what, you have to regain your spirits, and we will work together to reach the deepest part of the Burning Heaven Palace, where all the answers will be revealed. That's for sure. ”

Xiao Tianhe took a deep breath: "Okay! I'll listen to you!"

At this moment, there were only the two of them and Steward Meng left on the side of the door. During the time when the two were talking, Steward Meng always stood motionless by the door, and did not open his mouth to urge.

When passing by the edge of the stone platform, He Tianyao glanced at the square bricks, so he asked Steward Meng, "Can I take these bricks?"

"Huh...... Listen to it. Steward Meng replied.

There were a total of four square bricks on the platform, He Tianyao took three, and one of them seemed to be stuck to the stone platform, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't take it down, He Tianyao had to give up.

Xiao Tianhe stepped forward to take a look, and each of the three bricks had some patterns composed of dots, lines, circles, triangles, and squares. It's not like it's decorative, it's very peculiar.

"Brother Yao, what are you doing with these?" Xiao Tianhe asked curiously.

He Tianyao smiled self-deprecatingly: "I don't know, I feel that these square bricks and magic weapons are placed on the stone platform together, there should be some kind of meaning." Since you haven't gotten the magic weapon, it's better to take these away. ”

"It's a feeling again...... Your 'feeling' is really weird. ”

The two brothers entered the gate, but Steward Meng had no intention of following them, he closed the door and disappeared. The gate slowly sank into the ground. At the same time, countless trees slowly emerged from the ground, and the forest returned to tranquility as if nothing had happened.

The shadow of the forest of the earth robbery,

Divide and end the contract Taoist.

Trees, flowers, vines and grasses are all difficult,

Solidarity forges the soul of women.

......

The passage to the second floor was the same as when I first entered the Burning Heaven Palace, dark and gloomy. This time, however, the light at the end of the passage could be clearly seen. The crowd quickened their pace and rushed out of the passage.

"Whew", a surging heat wave rushed to the face, burning the face painfully. In front of everyone was a moat, and the hot lava below was constantly tumbling and surging, and it was from this that the heat wave came from. The position where everyone stood was only a zhang wide, and behind them was a cliff of ten thousand feet, towering into the clouds. The only way to move forward is to find a way to cross this magma chasm.

"There's a bridge there!" Jin Chanyu pointed not far away.

After seeing the bridge, everyone gasped in shock. Where is it called a bridge? It's just a narrow path over a chasm. With a hint of luck, everyone came to the "bridgehead", but looking at the trail closely, everyone couldn't help but be even more disappointed. The trail was less than half a foot wide at its widest point, and it zigzagged toward the "opposite side". Why is it said "opposite" and not "on the other side", because the situation on that side is completely unclear. The trail didn't stretch far before it sank into the smoke, so it was impossible to tell how wide the magma chasm was.

At the head of the "bridge" there is a stone with some handwriting carved on it. If you look closer, it reads: "The abyss of Mars can only be passed by one person." ”

"Isn't this nonsense? With such a thin road, two people going up at the same time will definitely be broken!" Shang Xingjie said.

Zhou Wenxuan rejoiced: "It's good that I'm not fat, otherwise it would be really troublesome." ”

"Who's going first?" Shi Potian looked around at everyone.

"Since you asked, go first. "Shang Xingjie is not competing for the lead this time.

Shi Potian glanced at him obliquely: "Do you think I don't dare to take the lead?" As he spoke, he raised his feet and was about to walk down the path.

"Wait. Qu Xingxuan stopped him, "Some things still have to be made clear first." ”

"What's that?" Shi Potian was puzzled.

"No, it's not just for you. Qu Xingxuan said, "I don't know how long this trail is, and I don't know what the situation is on the other side, and those who go over first may indeed encounter danger." But," he said aggravatedly, "if there is no danger on the other side, and it is just a baby, then it should be first-come, first-served." ”

When they heard this, the crowd fell silent.

"You're welcome. Whoever wants to take the baby first, can go first. Qu Xingxuan said again.

Still no one answered.

"Since no one is going to go first, then you're welcome. "Stone breaks the heavens.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he lifted his foot, he was pulled again. This time it's Ye Linglong. Shi Potian was surprised: "Miss Ye wants to go first?"

"Don't worry about the stone master, this sentence on the stone

There is ambiguity. Ye Linglong explained, "Does 'only one person pass' mean that only one person can pass through this road at a time, or does it mean that only one person can pass through this road? ”

"Oh, there's really an ambiguity, I didn't even notice it. Zhou Wenxuan said.

If it is "only one person can pass at a time", then it is not a big problem, and twelve people only need to pass one after another. But if "only one person can cross this path", it means that whether it is a blessing or a curse on the other side of the chasm, that person will bear it, and the remaining eleven people will not be able to move forward.

"It stands to reason that it should be the previous meaning, right? If it is the second meaning, isn't there only one person who can pass through this layer?" Shang Xingjie said.

"Then the Lord Shang can give it a second try. Jin Chanyu said.

"What's the use of saying 'second' now? The key is who will be the 'first'!"

Shi Potian said: "It's still the same sentence, if any of you want to go first, just go, no one wants to come to me." ”

"I'll go first. Qu Xingxuan said, "Anyway, I'm blind now, and I can't see the magma below no matter how terrifying it is." ”

"Brother Qu, but you can't see the trail......" Jin Chanyu was very worried.

"Don't worry, I know it. Qu Xingxuan was full of confidence, and then he asked the three emperors, "You have no opinion, right?"

Xiang Zhongyang sighed: "Let me remind you, now you can't fly, and if you accidentally fall down, you will die." Of course, we won't stop you if you have to die. ”

Qu Xingxuan nodded, took a deep breath, and cautiously stepped onto the trail. He stood on the path for a while, and after making sure that there was no problem, he took out two iron rods from the storage magic weapon and held them in his hands. Qu Xingxuan turned around and smiled at everyone: "This is the tool I use to arrange the mechanism, I didn't expect it to come in handy here." Then he put an iron rod against the left and right sides of the path, so that he could know the width and direction of the path. In everyone's stunned gaze, Qu Xingxuan strode forward.

Witnessing Qu Xingxuan's figure disappearing smoothly into the smoke, Zhou Wenxuan couldn't help but admire: "He's really smart......

"Now the question has just come, how can we know that Qu Xingxuan has passed?" Shi Potian asked.

Everyone looked at each other, and it seemed that there was still a problem that should have been considered in advance.

"Ahh

Everyone hurriedly turned their heads to look, and sure enough, the trail was gone! Even the rock with the words engraved on the 'bridge' was nowhere to be seen.

"It's over, that sentence seems to mean the second thing!" Shang Xingjie slapped his thigh with remorse, "I knew I would have gone first!"

"What are we going to do? Stuck here?" said Xiang Zhongyang.

Zhou Wenxuan said with a grin: "It's a big deal to go back from the passage and find that Steward Liu, he will definitely be able to send us out." ”

"Come on, return Steward Liu, his surname is Meng! I even remember my name wrong, it's strange that I will ignore you!" Xiang Zhongyang said sarcastically.

"It doesn't matter if his surname is Liu or Meng, listen to what he means, as long as we are willing to give up what we get, we can go out of the Burning Heaven Palace. Zhou Wenxuan looked at the three people who had caught the magic weapon lot in the earth robbery layer.

"It's too early to say give up." The You brothers pointed into the distance, "Look over there," "There is another way." ”

Near the entrance of the dark passage that connected the two floors just now, a narrow passage similar to the one that disappeared suddenly appeared. When the first person walked out of the dark passage, the chasm in front of him was clearly empty. It can be seen that this new trail appeared after the trail disappeared just now.

The group returned to the entrance of the cave. The same narrowness, the same twists and turns, even the stone engraved at the head of the "bridge" is exactly the same.

Seeing this situation, Jin Chanyu's heart sank, not long after Qu Xingxuan entered the smoke, the "bridge" disappeared, could it be that he had encountered an accident?

"No, your demon clan has already passed alone, it's our human turn! I'll go the second one!" Shang Xingjie refused to give in. Of course, he definitely didn't rush for the opportunity because he was worried about Qu Xingxuan's safety.

"Let's go, let's go, don't waste time!" Jin Chanyu didn't bother to argue with him, so she simply let him go first.

Shang Xingjie snorted coldly, stepped onto the trail, and strode forward. After he also entered the smoke area, Jin Chanyu stared at the trail tightly, without even blinking her eyes.

After a few breaths, the trail disappeared.

Jin Chanyu breathed a sigh of relief instead, it seems that the disappearance of the trail does not mean that the person who entered the smoke is dead.
