Xu Yue said: "That old fellow Gu Yin is very tough-talking. As early as the day before yesterday, he actually bit his tongue and committed suicide. As for Dong Qiong, he seemed very hopeless. He cried with snot and tears, as if I was dead. "
Gu Yin's suicide was beyond Chu Xiong's expectation. However, the behavior of Dongqiong's fellow was what everyone could have guessed. That fellow was originally a scorched person on the outside, and his spinelessness had become his personality.
"What did Dong Qiong say?" Chu Xiong asked.
Xu Yue said: "He only said that he was confused for a while. He only asked the sect to spare his life. He didn't even think about it. He even had a share in killing the sect leader. There was no way to survive. However, he did say something information."
According to Dongqiong's confession, he and the head of the Third Hall had actually contacted the messenger of the Xinghan Sect half a year ago. The other party not only presented the Shengsheng Good Fortune Pill, but also expressed full support for the four of them to jointly take charge of the Youyue Sect after the matter was completed. .And the four of them are obsessed with it. They have already planned the distribution of power: the leader of the Feng Hall will be the leader of the sect. The leader of the Yu Hall will be in charge of the entire three halls. The leader of the Electric Hall will be in charge of the Guardian Group and the Recruitment Pavilion. Dong Qiong will be in charge of the foundation of the outer sect. Go up and take over the Qingfeng Villa. More importantly, the sect leader is no longer above the elders. It is equivalent to four people dividing up and co-managing the huge Youyue Sect. In short, everyone's power has been expanded a lot. Every little calculation. The dial rang. Unexpectedly, it ended up being a mess.
Dong Qiong was even more anxious to get angry. He sent his close disciples Wu Qi and others to Qingfeng Villa early to prepare for the future takeover. From this, Wu Qi also knew some of Dong Qiong's secrets. This is why When Wu Qi was captured, he said that he knew "important matters concerning the life and death of the sect." Later, Wu Qi was killed in prison. Dongqiong personally sent someone to kill him and silence him.
"It's all because I didn't care too much. If that was the case, I would have questioned Wu Qi in time and secretly reported to my mother who was in the Demon Tribulation Pass. I'm sure my mother wouldn't have..." After saying this, Xu Yue still felt regretful and had circles under her eyes. Slightly red.
"The matter has come to this. Why blame yourself?" Chu Xiong said. "Then. How to deal with Dongqiong."
Xu Yue suddenly felt a chill. It was more like her previous style. She wore silver teeth and said word by word: "Cut off the hands and feet. Throw them into birds to see sorrow. Elders, do you have any objections."
"No objection." Yu Qi expressed her position more promptly than Chu Xiong. So, six more "no objections" followed. Dongqiong's fate was completely settled with these few "no objections"...
****
After the meeting, Chu Xiong prepared some water and food and went straight to the Star Soul Tower. After midnight, it was time for the Babel Tower to open. Although he still had a lot of Zhu Lingguo in his hand and the Bigu Pill he got from Yu, but these It's better to keep things in case you need them in case of emergencies. In fact, you only need to prepare a month's supply of water and food for yourself. You only need to send someone to transport it one more time.
As for preparing for a month, it is because the Tower of Babel will be opened only at the beginning and end of the month. And the time when the mother can guide herself is in the middle of the month.
For two days in the tower, Chu Xiong continued to consolidate his current state. The speed of improvement has been faster recently. He should not be too playful. Of course, with the absorption of a large number of scattered starlight, his meridians unknowingly became stronger.
Two days later, everyone dispersed. Chu Xiong, Qingdai, Yuqi and Yaoda stayed behind. Xu Yue originally wanted to meet the mysterious "second mother". But the sect had too many affairs and had just experienced the sect. The sect has undergone great changes. People's hearts are unstable. The three elders Chu Xiong, Yao Da and Yu Qi have stayed in the tower. Xu Yue, the sect leader, cannot let it go.
"Don't worry. Next time I go to see my mother, I will take you with me." Chu Xiong smiled.
"Yes, but I also know why my mother gave the order in the first place. You will never be allowed to enter the Tower of Babel." Xu Yue said calmly. "Your mother is at the bottom of the tower. My mother must know. Maybe she is just afraid of you. He found out that his mother was imprisoned. Then he did some irrational things."
Chu Xiong had understood this truth a long time ago. He smiled and said: "Actually, my mother no longer hates You Yue Sect and your mother. Go back. We will practice here for a few more days. I will see my mother in the middle of the month. Next time at the tower gate I will go out and join you on the opening day. During this period of time, you should make good preparations for recovering the Demon Tribulation Pass. The troops and horses have not yet used food and grass. There are many things that need to be prepared."
"But you are not around. I always feel that things are complicated and troublesome. Haha." Xu Yue said goodbye to a few people. Before leaving, she suddenly said: "By the way, the entrance to the secret room where your mother is imprisoned in the Babel Tower should be. It's at that location. I don't know anything about the specific method of opening the door. The sect doesn't record it either. You can only find it yourself. Of course, according to you, your mother should no longer be here. Hey, the old man really has magical powers. Guangda. You can actually get out from here without anyone noticing."
The tower door closed heavily. Chu Xiong immediately walked to the location pointed by Xu Yue. It was a cover made of a thick iron plate. It was located at the edge of the first floor of the Babel Tower. This iron cover was firmly embedded in the bluestone floor. It fit perfectly. There are some strange patterns cast on the board. In the middle is an iron ring, slightly larger than the palm of your hand.
Chu Xiong looked at the huge iron cover with a diameter of two meters. He felt a kind of hatred rising. It was this thing that imprisoned his mother. But Chu Xiong knew that in fact, his mother was no longer here, but in another dimension.
"Xiong. I don't think there's any need to go in. Mother is not here anyway." Qingdai said. Yuqi and Yaoda both felt strange. Why did Qingdai call "mother" so appropriately and naturally? Whenever the two of them shouted out It seems a bit awkward when using this vocabulary.
But Chu Xiong shook his head and said: "No. Do you still want to know what your mother said that day? She said that as soon as she woke up, she entered that weird world. In other words, she did not leave the secret room on her own initiative. Then through this secret room, we might be able to find some clues to see how the small world where my mother lives is connected to the Tower of Babel."
It makes sense. The three women nodded at the same time. Anyway, I have nothing to do for nearly half a month. Why not do some research.
But when they tried to open the iron cover, they encountered a lot of trouble. Judging from the size of the iron cover, even if it was one foot thick, it weighed only a few kilograms. Chu Xiong should be able to open it. He opened the iron cover. He thrust his knife into the gap between the iron plate and the ground, but couldn't pry it off. "Could it be that it has to be pulled apart through the iron ring? It's just that according to the principles of mechanics, I stand on the iron plate and pull the iron plate. It's basically impossible. It’s impossible.”
But Yuqi smiled. She flew up in the air and went to pull the iron ring. Chu Xiong immediately slapped it on his forehead and was overjoyed: How could he forget this method?
But something even weirder happened: Yuqi pulled the iron ring. The huge iron cover suddenly flashed a strange purple light. The light flashed away, like lightning, and went straight to Yuqi holding on to the iron ring. With a "Ah" sound, Yuqi's body flew out, causing pain all over her body.
Could it be that there are any special restrictions on this iron cover?
"Damn it." Yu Qi angrily rushed over again. She seemed to be unwilling to give up until she reached her goal, but was stopped by Chu Xiong. "Wait a minute. Look carefully at the pattern on the iron cover."
The four of them went over to watch together. They saw that the concave patterns on the iron cover were a bit mysterious. They seemed to have an unfathomable feeling. And after staring for a long time, they actually felt a little dizzy. It seemed that the patterns began to twist and rotate.
"Isn't this the eight stars of the demon?" Yaoda finally realized. "Look, this is the first star, this is... what's going on? How can the eight stars revolve around the sun? What's even more strange is... this Why is there an extra one in the middle?"
But Chu Xiong felt a little emotional: Who was it that cast such a seemingly inconspicuous iron cover? Because the extra one was actually the position of the planet under his feet. And the eight stars of the demon did not follow the instructions of the soul. The names of the martial arts circles are arranged one by one according to their distance from the sun. The position of the sun is just under the iron ring in the middle of the iron cover.
At this time, Chu Xiong felt a wave of excitement in his heart: Could it be that the earth beneath his feet was really the earth? In this way, he was in a certain period of prehistory. But it was impossible. The landforms of this Soul Martial World... and There is nothing the same as the earth in previous lives. Moreover, even in the prehistoric period, future generations should not discover anything at all. However, even a little fossil has not been discovered by future generations.
More importantly, who cast this seemingly inconspicuous iron cover. The person who cast the iron cover must know the great secret of the soul martial world.
His head was getting bigger. Chu Xiong felt that the mystery of the Soul Martial World was beyond his imagination. He looked at Qingdai and saw that Qingdai also had a big mouth. Apparently, she had the same thought as Chu Xiong.
"What's going on with you two?" Yao Da saw that Chu Xiong and Qing Dai were a little abnormal.
"Huh." Chu Xiong took a breath, gathered his thoughts, and said, "It's nothing. I just think it's very mysterious. Let me give it a try."
As he said that, Chu Xiong placed his palm on the sun in the middle. The star soul power was exerted, but it was very weak. Suddenly, a weak rebound force came. When the output of his star soul power strengthened, it came from the iron cover. The rebound will also be enhanced.
It seemed that we couldn’t start with the sun pattern. But Chu Xiong without thinking, tried again with the so-called earth pattern. Sure enough, there was no rebound this time. Then came Mars, Venus, Mercury, Jupiter...all the way to Pluto. The order is all based on the distance between each star and the earth, from near to far. Of course, in the soul martial world, the names of these stars are not this. And every time the star soul power is used, there is no rebound.
Watching Chu Xiong groping on the iron cover, no one except Qingdai understood the specific reason.
Until the end, Chu Xiong put his hand on the sun. After the star soul power was output, a purple light suddenly flashed. However, this purple light did not bounce Chu Xiong away. Instead, everyone felt a faint sense of relaxation.
"Okay. Yuqi, try again." Chu Xiong said. In fact, he was not completely sure.
Yuqi once again flew in the air. Her hand tightly grasped the iron ring. Once the force was exerted, the iron cover became loose. Everyone was overjoyed. Yuqi increased her strength a little, and the "iron cover" was pulled out forcibly. ..Good guy, this is not a "lid" at all, because its thickness reaches half a foot. In other words, this thing is basically a huge iron ingot.
After pulling open this strange iron ingot, a deep and dark hole naturally appeared in front of the four people.
