Along the stone wall, from here to there, a total of thirty-seven steps. If you don't walk along the side, it will take forty-five steps from this corner to the opposite oblique corner. She laughed silently, realizing that she must have grown taller again—— A year ago, it took her thirty-nine steps to walk one side of the stone chamber, and forty-seven steps to walk a diagonal. When she first came here five years ago, she needed more steps to measure this secret room. When she was confined to this secret room at the age of eight, she couldn't see anything, she could only stagger and grope carefully while leaning on the wall, tripping over debris on the ground from time to time.She measures the new residence with her footsteps——

No matter which way you go, it's fifty steps. When we got to the bottom, there was a cold stone wall in front of us, and there was a faint light on the wall. Feeling it in the dark, every wall is exactly the same: the wall is damp and cold, engraved with complicated patterns, and there are faint drops of water oozing out and condensing.And the place where the light comes from is smooth to the touch, like the material on the top, it seems to be made of glass or crystal, revealing a little blue light from outside. She stayed there for a while, and knocked cautiously, expecting that a door would suddenly open on the wall, leading to another world.

Yet the wall remained motionless. She turned her head sideways again, and pressed her cheek against the mirror on the wall, but she heard the sound of water coming from outside, as if countless big fish were swimming around outside, stirring up the waves.She wanted to listen more carefully, so she made a handprint without knowing it, and slowly pressed against the stone wall——suddenly she screamed from the heat and fell to the ground. There is an enchantment!The four sides of this secret room have already been densely covered with powerful barriers! It is so powerful that even the evil spirits in the water wandering outside cannot enter, so it is even more impossible for her to go out.

The top of her head is a bottomless blue, through which faint waves of light can be seen, allowing her to understand where she is at the moment.After a long time, the eight-year-old finally sat down slowly, buried her head on her knees, shrugged her shoulders, and cried out soundlessly. It's Red Lotus Prison!This is really the red lotus prison under the holy lake! She... she was really sent to this place to be locked up! The priest didn’t want her anymore, and the elders never pleaded for her, and her father threw her in the cemetery of Manzhushahua when she was three years old—she was like an old doll land, abandoned indifferently by one person after another.In the end, she was thrown away indifferently by the person she admired the most.

——Although before that, she still had the prestigious title of "Moon Worshiping Master" on her head. The priest has raised her for five years, but ever since he captured the girl in Luofu's sword-testing villa, he has put all his thoughts on that eccentric child of the same age.He called the girl "Little Leaf" and pampered her with everything she wanted—even the position of the Moon Worshiper. But that child has always been rebellious and eccentric, always against the priest.Strangely, the priest doted on this bad-tempered child more and more, but dismissed himself who was docile and obedient since he was a child.

When he was deprived of the title of leader and demoted to live in Suzaku Palace, Shen Che looked at the doll in red from a distance, full of sadness—as if a child who had been favored since childhood was suddenly left out in the cold. However, as a child, she did not expect the bad luck to come so quickly. After being deposed as the leader, she didn't even stay in the Suzaku Palace for long, and was directly sent to this claustrophobic chamber under the holy lake—the exile place of the deposed leader. At that time, she was still young, thinking that she had just inadvertently annoyed the priest and would be punished to face the wall.But I still don't quite understand that, there has always been a place where there is no way out.

——Until she got used to the darkness, through the faint light of water above her head, she saw piles of pale skeletons on the floor of the secret room. They were the women who had died for so many years.Each of the skeletons was dressed in splendid and gorgeous peacock gold robes and precious ornaments: they were obviously all the past lords who were imprisoned here after being deposed. In the blurted exclamation, she realized that she might not be able to get out again. At that time, she was thirteen years old. How did the days after that come about? She has completely forgotten. She only remembered the seventh day of being locked up, she was dying, and the hunger made her almost go crazy.But her strong will to survive made her persevere, and kept shouting to the void, praying for the blessing of the moon god.

Sure enough, the god answered her wish and sent a baby to her side.Yingying came out from the wall and handed her a Ganoderma lucidum. She didn't die, and she didn't go mad.She grew up quietly underwater, like a lotus flower slowly blooming under the quiet water.Every day, she looked up at the faint blue water light above the secret room in a daze, watching the light change from weak to strong, and then from strong to weak - she knew that another day had passed. Day after day; year after year. Now, five years have passed. In this underwater secret room, time stopped, and the only thing growing silently was her body.

She carved the traces of her growth on the stone wall. After completing the necessary daily work of measuring footsteps, she stood against the wall, pressed her fingers over the top of her head, and used her nails to carve a shallow trace on the stone wall behind her head--compared, it was actually higher than the one carved last year. by two inches. She laughed in the dark, shook her head, and there was a smug expression on her face that no one else could see. "Baby, look, I've grown taller again!" She happily said to her only companion, completely forgetting that it doesn't matter how tall she grows, "Even if I only eat mushrooms, I can still grow so tall." High! I think even if Miubi is outside, she won't grow as fast as me."

Without exception, the silent companion did not answer, but raised his eyes, looked at her quietly and smiled. "Baby, tell me something!" she said angrily. However, the companion in white was still sitting in the corner as usual, with long hair hanging down to cover half of his face, smiling quietly at her. "I think, you must be dumb." She dejectedly made a conclusion that she had drawn a thousand times.After a short period of frustration, she jumped up again, looked at the squares on the ground, and suggested, "Baby, let's play hopscotch together today!"

The faint blue water light penetrated from the top of the head, faintly illuminating the room. Those arranged vertically and horizontally on the floor of the stone room are actually pale human bones! Dismantling the bones of previous Moon Worshipers and arranging them in a grid, she was not afraid at all, jumping happily among the bones, and leaped over one after another with one foot cleverly—that is, she was killed by the dead. One of the few games learned underwater is now the only joy in a meager existence. She jumped faster and faster, laughing happily. Following her accelerated figure, a small whirlwind blew up in the secret room, and after a slight sound, the bones scattered on the ground stood up one by one! "Giggle...Okay, let's dance together!" She clapped her hands and laughed, jumping more and more flexibly on her feet.One by one, the white bones stood upright, with one end touching the ground, neatly arranged, followed behind her with a clatter, and jumped up! The faint blue water light penetrated into the secret room. In this dim light, there are only white bones standing upright in the room, following a thirteen-year-old child to jump lightly. The companion in white still just sat there looking at her, smiling with one eye, not speaking. "Baby, why don't you dance?" Tired from dancing, she turned her head and asked, wiping the fine beads of sweat from her forehead, looking at her companion sitting in the corner of the dark secret room, "I won't do it next, Won't you teach me?" The moment she stopped, the countless white bones following her stopped suddenly, and then scattered all over the ground. The girl was still just sitting quietly, smiling, not speaking. "Okay, I'm hungry." She finally stopped jumping, walked towards the place where the girl was sitting, and stretched out her hand, "Baby, I want to eat mushrooms." The companion in white smiled brightly, raised his hand wordlessly, and held out a crystal clear white thing. It was not a mushroom, but a nine-leaf Ganoderma lucidum, emitting a white light in the dim room, with a compelling aura. "It's so strange, where did it come from? Are there mushrooms growing where you are sitting, or are mushrooms growing on you?" As usual, the white "mushroom" melted into a luscious juice as soon as it entered the mouth.Immediately, she was no longer hungry, but she couldn't help being full of curiosity, and asked that companion who always liked to sit in that corner since she appeared. In the past few years, every one or two days, when she feels hungry, Ying can always conjure a mushroom. It was also because of the baby that she was imprisoned for five years, but she did not starve to death. Ying smiled slightly at her, a mysterious expression flashed in her one eye, she suddenly stood up and took a step forward. She has only one leg. The wide white cassock hung down to cover her thin body.Ying took a step on one foot, looked back at her, smiled, and invited her with his eyes, and she happily jumped up. After eating the mushrooms, she suddenly felt a little lighter in her body, and she was extraordinarily flexible when she jumped.Following the baby's steps, she kept jumping, memorizing the complicated steps. "The seventeenth floor!" The moment Ying stopped, she shouted happily, "I have learned it!" With her cheering, those bones were subdued one after another, and fell into pieces in silence again. Baby smiled at her, jumped back to that corner with one foot, and sat down again. "Baby, you always sit there." She leaned over curiously, and put her hand on the stone wall, "I was so hungry that day that I was about to pass out, and I was talking nonsense there, and the result was vague, just watching Until you float out of this wall." After a pause, she pressed the wall with some hesitation: "Over there, what is it? Where are you from?" There was a mirror inlaid on each wall, she leaned her head over and looked hard. However, the outside is only a blur of dark blue, and huge white stones can be vaguely seen scattered on the bottom of the water. But at this moment, the entire secret room suddenly shook violently! The shock came from top to bottom, accompanied by a low rumbling sound, as if a thunderbolt had fallen in the waters of the holy lake, startling the evil spirits in the lake water to swim away one after another, and making the bones scattered in the room jump in unison. Jump. She looked up in surprise, suddenly her eyes were stung by the light, and she was almost completely blind for a moment. The Chamber of Secrets is open!The chamber of secrets has opened again! She was overwhelmed with surprise, and stretched out her hand towards the white light above her head—finally, finally, someone came to let her out?The priest is not angry with her anymore, do you think it is okay to let her out?So, can she go out and be with Funan and Miubi again? She stretched out her hand in ecstasy towards the white light and greeted hoarsely, but no one pulled her out. The white light flashed for a moment, then disappeared. Something was thrown down, and there was a piercing sound of metal rubbing. Amidst the low rumbling sound, the door of the secret room above the head was closed again, blocking everything. She was still stuck in the blindness caused by the brief exposure to light, she stretched out her hands helplessly, and the ecstatic expression on her face gradually froze. Could it be that...five years is not enough, should she be locked up again? She began to sob, but the tears hadn't flowed yet, but she felt something was falling on her face drop by drop, warm and moist—was it tears...it was blood!who is it?Whose blood dripped on her face? She looked up in surprise. In the dark blue water waves, a huge golden rope hangs down, and a person is pierced through the golden rope. No, it should be said that it runs through the wreckage of a person. That person should have been thrown into the holy lake dungeon just now, and he died when he was thrown down.It seemed that when he fell into the water, he was bitten by the evil spirits in the lake. His whole body was bloody and bloody, revealing his white skeleton. He was tied by a golden rope piercing through his chest and thrown into the red lotus prison at the bottom of the water. It's so pitiful... She sighed softly, looked up at the corpse on the golden rope, and wanted to untie this person. However, when she just touched the golden rope, a string of blue fire suddenly burst out of thin air! "Ah!" A violent force pushed her away unexpectedly, and her back leaned heavily against the wall, almost out of breath.Ying pushed her away violently when he couldn't wait, looking at the wreckage on the golden cable, his eyes were a little panicked, and motioned her not to go forward. "Evil... Devil." For the first time, she heard a vague sound coming out of Ying's mouth, and she couldn't help being horrified. What does it mean?She wanted to ask, but Ying's figure stopped and disappeared into the corner in an instant. what happened?Could it be that there is a seal on this golden rope? She looked up and down in surprise, and couldn't help reaching out her hand again. "Don't...don't move!" Suddenly, she heard a voice say indistinctly, "There is blood... a blood curse!" The voice was close to her ears, reaching her hearing along with the dripping blood.She jumped back in fright, and the bones all over the ground also jumped back with her.She looked up at the skeleton pierced through the golden rope, and was so surprised that she couldn't speak—how could it be possible?The flesh and blood have been devoured by the evil spirits, leaving only a skeleton, how can this person still speak? "I... am coming back to life." The wreckage made a vague voice, "You...don't touch me." She obediently stopped and stepped aside. The skeleton stopped talking, as if it was accumulating strength.The blood dripping like rain really stopped slowly, and in the faint blue water light, she saw that the corpse hanging on the golden rope had undergone an astonishing change! Flesh and flesh regenerated from the white bones, and intact skin was stretched out inch by inch, the broken chest and abdomen began to heal, and the limbs were reshaped—in a short period of time, the skeleton was actually revived! What kind of power should that be... Even Yun Xi, the supreme priest in the sect, would be difficult to achieve, right? She looked up with a sigh, watching the scene of reversal of life and death. "Ah!" When the skeleton's face was fully recovered, she stared blankly for a moment, saw the gem ring on the forehead of the skeleton, and suddenly screamed loudly, causing the bones all over the floor to tremble with fright— "Master Yunxi! Is it you? How could it be you!"
