My wife has a secret

Chapter 263 New Discovery

"Perhaps it is to store up troops and food..."

Xu Qing stopped talking halfway through his words, because the scene in front of him stretched out in a straight line into the distance, revealing a huge open square.

The surrounding walls seemed to have been worn down by war, with uneven holes all over them. Only the strange building directly above the head cast a faint light, barely illuminating the objects in the square.

Before the two of them stepped forward, they could see countless figures frozen in the middle of the scene.

The place is full of dust, and the atmosphere is depressing and heavy, making people feel suffocated.

“They are all dead.”

Yang Xianning was extremely sensitive to danger. She realized that these human figures with different shapes and tragic deaths were all long-rotted mummies and posed no threat to the two of them.

After Yang Xianning confirmed the situation ahead, Xu Qing also approached a corpse and began to observe it with a frown.

The other party kept running with a horrified look on his face, as if he was avoiding something in the field.

What happened here that made them so panic?
The first thing Xu Qing thought of was the special abilities of the White Lotus Sect's star gods, but after careful analysis, he felt that it was unreasonable.

This is clearly the White Lotus Sect's special secret room. Did they take so much pains to build such a large venue just to kill people here?

"Did you find anything?"

In response to Yang Xianning's question, Xu Qing shook his head, indicating that he was confused.

"The terrain here is too complicated. We need to survey for more clues. It would be great if Shen Shuangxu was here... She knows a lot about the White Lotus Sect, and maybe she can guess the purpose of this place."

Yang Xianning nodded, and just as she was about to check the surrounding passages and routes, she sensed danger the next second.

She nimbly pushed Xu Qing away, and used the force of the push to move back two steps. The next moment... thick smoke burst out from where the two of them had been standing, and then sparks flew, like brilliant fireworks exploding in the dark night.

"boom!"

"I see Guanyin and see the self; I see Zhenwu and see my true self. I have untied the old shackles of the past, and today I know that I am myself."

The ground where Yang Xianning had just stood was shaken again with a subtle and terrifying earthquake. Sensing that an explosion was about to occur here, she subconsciously shouted to Xu Qing, "Run!"

"boom!"

A heavy and shocking explosion erupted in the square. Xu Qing didn't care about anything else and had to follow Yang Xianning's instructions and run around the square.

A series of explosions sounded like firecrackers during the Spring Festival, never-ending.

At this moment, apart from the colorful fireworks, the only thing left in the scene was the vicissitudes of the sound of chanting.

"When you break through the thousands of waves of the world, the fruit of Bodhi will appear in your heart. When you realize your true heart and return to the true way, you will be free in this life."

After the man finished speaking, the explosions in the square fell silent. Xu Qing, who had been running for his life, was so tired that he was out of breath. He had to support himself with his hands on his knees, half-squatting on the ground and gasping for breath.

However, the next moment, he felt a chill on his back, as if he had fallen on a spider web that had been laid out in advance.

Yang Xianning's eyes were also fixed on behind him, because the elusive Tianji Star Lord, wearing his iconic red mask, was standing in a hole in the wall where only one person could stay, staring at the two of them.

He obviously didn't want to hide his whereabouts and identity. He jumped straight down from above, and when he touched the ground, he dispersed the smoke and dust around him.

Xu Qing couldn't help but click his tongue after seeing this, because the position where Tianji Star Lord was standing before was at least thirty feet above the ground. Converted into the height of his previous life, it was roughly equivalent to a person jumping straight down from the fourth floor.

Yang Xianning had a strange feeling towards Tianji Star Lord.

She bowed her head slightly, clasped her fists and thanked the other party as a sign of respect, just like a senior.

"Girl, why are you bowing to me?"

Tianji Xingjun also found it interesting and couldn't help saying, "We will fight for our lives in a moment. It's either you die or I die... I heard that you hate evil, so why should you show mercy to the enemies of the White Lotus Sect?"

"Before, in the Emperor's Mausoleum, it was you who deliberately adjusted the arrangement of the gunpowder and spared my life. Later, you also saw through the secret weapons of the Liao army in advance, and knew that the fall of Huangling Pass was a foregone conclusion, so you used your hands and feet to destroy the city wall to prevent the two armies from being deadlocked at the city wall."

If it weren't for what Tianji Star Lord did in Huangling Pass, Yang Xianning would definitely have placed her hopes on that city wall.

Afterwards, she reviewed the situation several times before gradually realizing that even if the terrifying monster was surrounded and killed in front of the city wall, Huangling Pass would be abandoned and become a wasteland and poisonous land.

If the city wall had not been breached, and it was not the Liao army but ourselves who had to deal with the monster's corpse, I wonder how many people would have sacrificed their lives for it.

Tianji Xingjun laughed and asked, "Have you ever thought about how many people have died directly or indirectly at my hands?"

"I know... so Xian Ning wants to uphold justice for them and claim the lives they have lost from you."

The surging internal energy made Yang Xianning's tight dress rustle. Her figure was like a ball of burning red flame, glowing brightly in the dimly lit square, looking majestic and awe-inspiring.

Tianji Star Lord also seemed to have realized something and nodded.

"Similar, too similar...If this battle becomes my final destination, it can be considered a good way to say goodbye."

Then he raised the sleeves of his black robe and said to Xu Qing who was watching the fight: "Are you sure you want to stay here? My Thunderbolt Fire is not very smart, and the power of the fight will often hurt innocent people."

Xu Qing realized that these two people had some secrets that were difficult for outsiders to tell, so he boldly bowed and asked: "Then may I ask, old sir, where should we go next?"

When Tianji Xingjun saw Xu Qing also asking him for directions, he couldn't help but laugh again, feeling that the couple looked the same.

"If you want to know something, you can go through the cave on my left hand. If you are timid, you can leave here through the cave behind me."

What Xu Qing is most concerned about is definitely not the secret of this place, but the whereabouts of Princess Danyang.

He couldn't wait to ask, "Where is the Saint?"

"Saint?"

Tianji Star Lord was silent for a moment before answering, "This place is called Futu Realm. It is the secret place where all the Star Lords of all generations were born. It contains the secret of the Holy Church standing for a thousand years. The Saint holds a high position and power here. It is not something that we can spy on."

Xu Qing knew clearly that if Tianji Star Lord entangled Yang Xianning, he would have to explore this area alone.

Intellectually speaking, this is a simple and easy-to-understand multiple-choice question.

"The Buddha Realm can only be opened by the Saintess and the Autumn Harvest Envoy, once every twenty years... You can accumulate strength within twenty years, and then you can bring the power of Qi to set foot here."

Tianji Star Lord's advice was well-intentioned, because the two Star Lords Yaoguang and Tianquan who stayed behind were not as easy to talk to as himself.

Not to mention Yaoguang Star Lord, who is obsessively loyal to the Holy Church, the mysterious and unpredictable abilities of Tianquan Star Lord alone are enough to make people fearful.

Tianji Star Lord originally thought that after his kind words of persuasion, Xu Qing would leave this place rationally, but he obviously underestimated the other party's courage and obsession with finding Xiaohuan.

Xu Qing hesitated for a moment and then walked deeper into the Buddha world.

Seeing this, Tianji Xingjun couldn't help but frown and reminded: "There are two Xingjuns in the Futu Realm. As his wife, don't you care about the safety of your husband?" "Others can't persuade him to make a decision."

After Yang Xianning finished speaking calmly, she looked at Tianji Xingjun in front of her with her beautiful eyes and continued, "And Xingjun, don't worry, Xianning will deal with the things here as soon as possible and catch up with her husband... Apart from Huangling Pass, he is the one Xianning cherishes most in her heart."

"Hahaha……"

The brows on the Tianji Star Lord's mask relaxed, and the long-lost fighting spirit surged in his chest.

He could already feel the passionate moments of his youth flashing before his eyes. Two round thunder balls appeared from his sleeves and he shouted, "Come on."

……

The connecting holes in the Buddhist world are the countless holes on the four walls.

The shapes of these holes are complex and each one is rugged, but the inside is interconnected like an ant nest, crisscrossing and reaching every corner of the building.

There is no doubt that such a complex structure of the pagoda world must have countless mechanisms and traps hidden inside.

But Xu Qing followed the instructions of Tianji Star Lord and remained safe and sound. He successfully arrived at a new nest from that strange square.

The reason why this place is called a nest is that Xu Qing was surprised to find while holding a fire starter that although the new venue is huge, every corner of it is packed full.

This place is like a nest for a giant beast to lay eggs, filled with goose egg buildings more than one meter tall.

These buildings are connected by countless threads that penetrate into the walls, as if they are absorbing some nutrients.

Similar to the square, these silk threads also had a faint fluorescent light flowing on them, which gave Xu Qing an ominous feeling.

“These things seem alive.”

"It's meant to be alive."

The sudden response startled Xu Qing. He looked up suddenly and found that Yaoguang Star God, wearing a jade-white facial mask, was standing high up, holding a long dim lamp.

There was nothing to support him there, causing Yaoguang Xingjun to appear to be floating in the air.

"I thought Tianji Xingjun could stop all outsiders, but I didn't expect... he still let you in."

Yaoguang Xingjun stared at Xu Qing, as if thinking for a while, and replied: "Well, it should be that it is difficult to use your full strength when you are present. After all, you have to take into account the safety of the destiny people at all times."

Facing this familiar face who had appeared in Suzhou City, Xu Qing couldn't help but tease: "According to what you said, it would be better for me to stay there?"

Yaoguang Xingjun did not answer this boring question, but asked calmly: "Tianmingren, you sneaked into this place alone, aren't you afraid of me?"

"I'm here to see Princess Danyang."

Yaoguang Xingjun shook his head and replied, "We are also looking for the Saint Girl... She had a disagreement with Tianshu Xingjun and left the last plan of the Saint Church."

Just as Xu Qing had previously speculated, although Princess Danyang was the Holy Maiden of the White Lotus Sect, conflicts arose within the sect.

But what Xu Qing didn't expect was that Yaoguang Star Lord did not shy away from this matter and told him directly.

"Why do you look so surprised?"

The dim lantern in Yaoguang Xingjun's hand illuminated Xu Qing's face and said, "Anyway, the fate of the people destined to be with the Holy Church is the same. You know these things, it's only a matter of time..."

Looking at Xu Qing's silent and quietly listening expression, Yaoguang Xingjun had the rest of his words stuck in his throat.

"What do you know?"

"nothing."

Yaoguang Star Lord did not continue talking about this topic, but left with a lantern from a cave somewhere high in the sky.

Seeing that he had left him here without caring about him, Xu Qing quickly moved sideways a few steps, trying to see the route he took to leave.

But what he couldn't believe was that the place where Yaoguang Star Lord left was actually a cave as wide as an arm. No matter how he gestured, he couldn't squeeze his body in.

"Is this man a monster?"

Xu Qing became more and more confused. First, after seeing him, Yaoguang Star Lord had no desire to attack him and just let him go.

Secondly, there are many accessible caves here, and for him who is unfamiliar with the terrain, searching for Princess Danyang is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Third, the structure of the pagoda world is completely different from ordinary buildings, which left Xu Qing completely confused and he did not understand what the purpose of this place was.

After a moment of contemplation, Xu Qing stepped on a silk thread, and his body became unstable and fell to the side.

In a hurry, he stretched out his hand and placed it on a huge cobblestone building. In an instant, the round egg burst out with an extremely dazzling light, almost blinding Xu Qing's eyes.

When the strong light slowly dissipated, Xu Qing opened his eyes and was shocked to find that there was green liquid floating in the strange building in front of him.

Floating in these liquids was a naked, plump and round baby.

"What's this……"

Xu Qing was completely horrified by what he saw and was speechless. He felt a strong sense of tearing.

He simply could not imagine that in the ancient times when the ground was still the age of cold weapons, there would be such a strange device beyond his knowledge underground.

Judging from its structure and appearance, this seems to be a feeding device of some human being.

"An abnormal biological invasion has been detected. The defense mechanism is being activated... Checking..."

The round egg that was originally emitting a faint glow suddenly dimmed, as if covered by black ink. At the same time, Xu Qing felt that the silk threads around him seemed to come alive at the same time, instantly binding his whole body and tying up his feet.

He wanted to escape, but he couldn't move an inch.

"The biometric identification code is 039875, and the species is confirmed to be ancient human... Verification completed, the crisis is resolved."

"We are reporting all the information to our superiors and requesting that they grant us all permissions."

"Uploading data failed, uploading data failed... An unknown error occurred, communication was blocked, and the communication system was requested to be repaired."

A series of responses from a mechanical female voice left Xu Qing deeply shocked.

After a moment, the restraints on his body were removed at the same time, allowing him to move freely.

What was somewhat different from when he first entered this place was that all the round eggs in the entire room lit up with fluorescence at the same time, and there was a baby floating inside each one, which made Xu Qing so frightened that he was speechless.
