People in Zong Tomb, Jieling Pirates

Chapter 240 Sheng Ji appears!

"This... might really be a ghost place!" Chen Ziyan hesitated and said.

When he spoke, his eyes never left the eight-armed guards.

Chen Ziyan had some guesses about these weird-looking guards, but he couldn't be sure.

"Mr. Chen, these are not alive, are they?" Hu Bayi could no longer think about the temple, and all his attention was focused on the eight-armed guards who looked like sculptures.

Compared to this identical temple, this weird eight-armed guard made him feel more dangerous.

Chen Ziyan said softly: "It should be."

Although the eight-armed guard looked motionless like this, the looming threat let him know that these were not dead objects.

"Then...should we continue to move forward?" Hu Bayi asked.

He felt that they were in a dilemma now. If they retreated, the dark-faced men around them might not agree, but if they moved forward and woke up these eight-armed guards, the result would not be much better.

Chen Ziyan answered decisively this time: "Let's go!"

He knew they had no other choice now.

He even guessed that if he retreated like this, not only would the black-faced men around him not agree, but the eight-armed guards would also immediately revive to stop him.

Now that these things are not attacking, it is probably the result of secret manipulation by a certain existence, and the other party's intention is obvious, that is, they want them to continue exploring.

Thinking of this, Chen Ziyan took the lead and stepped onto the steps of the temple.

Instead of worrying in vain here, it is better to move forward headlong.

Although Chen Ziyan usually acts cautiously, he does not lack the courage to face dangerous situations.

Chen Ziyan had set an example, so the others would naturally follow suit. They all shook off the distracting thoughts in their minds and followed suit.

Just as Chen Ziyan expected, when they moved forward, the eight-armed guards did not move at all.

With vigilance, they walked through the stairs guarded by the eight-armed guard, and the scene inside the temple came into view.

Although this temple looks the same from the outside as the one we encountered before, there are big differences inside.

The core of the temple we met earlier was a giant bronze cauldron, and other than that there were only murals on the top.

But inside the temple that appeared in front of them, the most eye-catching thing was the bronze throne in the depths.

The bronze throne is of normal specifications. It stands to reason that it would appear relatively inconspicuous if placed in a temple enlarged to this proportion.

But the fact is exactly the opposite. This simple bronze throne seems to have some unique attraction, making people involuntarily focus on it.

If it weren't for Chen Ziyan and the others who are determined people, they would probably have nothing else in their eyes at this time.

Chen Ziyan stared at the bronze throne for a long time, and then forcibly looked away.

After he regained his attention, the first thing he looked at was the top of the temple.

Because of the previous temple, he suspected that there were also murals engraved here.

But what disappointed him was that unlike the previous temples, there was nothing on the top of this temple. Not to mention the imaginary murals, not even a single extra line could be seen.

And just when Chen Ziyan was about to observe other places, he suddenly felt that the scene in front of him became hazy, and at the same time, the space seemed to be stretched, becoming extremely vast.

He subconsciously turned his head and found that the other people standing beside him had disappeared, leaving him standing alone.

This sudden change made Chen Ziyan immediately alert to the highest level.

While holding the weapon in his right hand, three short arrows appeared in his left hand, which were caught between his fingers, as if he was ready to take action at any time.

But even after making such preparations, Chen Ziyan was still walking with anxiety.

After all, he has never experienced this kind of situation.

He couldn't tell now whether this was some kind of illusion, or whether he had really entered a special space without knowing it.

If it's an illusion, that's fine, but if all of this is real, things won't be good.

Just when Chen Ziyan was filled with doubts, he vaguely heard a voice.

Although I couldn't hear the specific content of the voice, I could tell it was a woman's voice.

This discovery made Chen Ziyan hold his breath and listen carefully, trying to understand what the sound was about.

"Come...meet...me..."

After listening quietly for a while, Chen Ziyan finally heard clearly that the voice kept repeating these three words.

He looked around again and found that he could not determine the source of the sound, so he decided to walk forward directly.

If he guessed correctly, the owner of this voice was the mastermind behind manipulating the black-faced beast to force them into the temple.

The other party's purpose for doing this was probably to let Chen Ziyan enter this weird space to see him.

So after he couldn't think of a good countermeasure, Chen Ziyan simply didn't think about it so much, and simply came up with a plan.

If the other party doesn't want to meet him by himself, then he should go there and take this opportunity to find out what's going on.

After all, I'm always guessing here, and I can't get the answer no matter what.

With this thought in mind, Chen Ziyan walked steadily in this strange space.

While walking, he discovered that this place did not seem to be a product of real existence, because only an area beside him was relatively real, and the rest of the place showed a distorted state.

This is why he felt it was hazy here at the beginning.

Chen Ziyan didn't know how long he had been walking, but something different finally appeared in his sight.

When he got closer, he discovered that this was actually another temple, exactly the same as the two temples he encountered before.

But speaking of it, the temple that appeared in front of him at this time was more like the second temple he encountered, because both had weird eight-armed guards outside.

But the difference is that it was unclear whether the eight-armed guard he just saw was dead or alive, but now he can be sure that he is alive with just one glance.

Because the eyes of the eight-armed guard were open, as Chen Ziyan approached, they all looked at him with a silent look.

When Chen Ziyan met such eyes, his steps subconsciously stagnated, but he soon returned to normal.

By now he has figured it out, as long as there is no order from the person hiding behind the scenes, everything here poses no threat to him, so there is no need to worry too much.

Of course, the reason for thinking this way is mostly because he knows that it is useless even if he worries.

If the other party really wanted to harm him, there was nothing he could do to stop it.

Resisting not to look at these eight-armed guards, Chen Ziyan walked into the temple again!

The layout of the temple was the same as before, with a bronze throne, but Chen Ziyan didn't even look at the bronze throne. After entering, his attention was already focused on the masked woman on the throne.

In fact, it may not be too accurate to say that the other party is a human, because this woman has the same eight arms as the outside guard.

But to say that she is not a human is actually not quite right, because apart from having more arms and a larger body proportions, this woman is no different from a human in other parts.

This eight-armed woman wears something that looks like a gauze scarf, with only one pair of eyes exposed. She wears a simple and elegant robe with strange human facial patterns printed on it.

After seeing this robe, the first thing Chen Ziyan thought of was the statue on the altar.

If these eight arms were replaced with spider legs, the woman would be exactly the same as the overall image of the statue.

"You came."

The eight-armed woman looked at Chen Ziyan and said.

"I'm here, don't know what to call me?" Chen Ziyan was not surprised that she could speak.

After all, I had heard it before, but it was just a little blurry at the time.

"You can call me... Sheng Ji!" The eight-armed woman hesitated and said a name that Chen Ziyan had thought of but couldn't believe.

Sheng Ji!

The moment he heard this name, Chen Ziyan was really surprised.

If the weird-looking woman on the throne in front of me is really the Sheng Ji from the Western Zhou Dynasty, wouldn’t she have survived for nearly three thousand years!

If we think about it further, even Sheng Ji can live to this day, then the longevity plan of King Zhou Mu, the initiator of all this, really failed?

"Wait, your..." At this moment, Chen Ziyan suddenly realized something was wrong.

If the person in front of me is really Sheng Ji, why is her way of speaking so advanced?

It is impossible to talk like this in the Western Zhou Dynasty, right?

Maybe she guessed what Chen Ziyan was thinking, so before he could express his doubts, Sheng Ji took the initiative to give the answer: "The progress of the times is inevitable, and learning is even more natural. I will also learn from contemporary

knowledge."

Chen Ziyan really felt that he had gained a lot of knowledge. He didn't expect that this ancient man from three thousand years ago actually understood the principle of advancing with the times.

"Then I don't know Sheng Ji... Your Majesty, do you have any instructions for bringing me here?" Chen Ziyan thought about the words and finally decided to use the title "Empress".

Firstly, he was not sure whether Sheng Ji was a queen or a princess during the Western Zhou Dynasty. Secondly, this title was a relatively common one. He thought that this lady who loved learning should be able to understand what he wanted to express.

When Sheng Ji heard this, she nodded slightly: "I need your help with something. Of course, I will also give you corresponding reward."

After hearing this answer, Chen Ziyan instantly felt a little unreasonable.

It's not that he has any strange habits, but Sheng Ji's attitude is really unreasonable.

It stands to reason that she, a female aristocrat with a high status at the time, and an immortal who had lived for thousands of years, would actually talk to herself in such a...kind manner, and even offered to pay her. This was somewhat strange.

It fits the character.

Shouldn't you give yourself orders directly in a commanding tone?

Just when Chen Ziyan was thinking about this, he heard Sheng Ji on the throne speaking again.

"It seems like you have some doubts. You might as well tell me."

The implication is very clear, that is, let Chen Ziyan express his confusion and she will give some answers.

"Your Majesty, I think your mentality is very good." Chen Ziyan thought for a while and expressed the doubts that had just arisen in a complimentary way.

He believed that Sheng Ji would be able to understand what he wanted to express.

Sure enough, Sheng Ji immediately understood what Chen Ziyan meant and said softly: "As an awakened person of an ancient descendant, you are qualified to have an equal dialogue with me."

Her words made Chen Ziyan understand instantly.

It turns out that everything is caused by his own blood.

But this also gave him new doubts. He knew that his bloodline was very powerful, but it seemed that he shouldn't let Sheng Ji give him such face.

Perhaps sensing Chen Ziyan's confusion, Sheng Ji said: "The old glory has been lost. I can't tell you much. The only thing I can tell you is that your bloodline is far from as simple as you think."

What she said made sense to some extent, but she didn't mean it thoroughly.

However, Chen Ziyan didn't ask further questions. He was a real big shot. People were willing to tell him to save face. But now that they have said so, if you continue to ask, it would be a case of ignorance.

Chen Ziyan put the question aside for the time being, and then asked: "I wonder what your Majesty wants me to do?"

He thought it would be better to ask the other party's purpose first. Regardless of what Sheng Ji said, this deal was unfair from the beginning because Chen Ziyan had no right to refuse.

To be more precise, he didn't have the confidence to reject the other party.

Who knows what terrible consequences it would have to reject a three-thousand-year-old woman rashly.

As we all know, women are such creatures, but the older they get, the more terrifying they become!

Especially if this is a woman who is suspected of being ageless and may have extraordinary powers, it would be even more terrifying, okay!

Facing Chen Ziyan's question, a trace of recollection flashed in Sheng Ji's eyes, and then she slowly uttered six words: "Help me find the king!"

Upon hearing this request, Chen Ziyan's pupils suddenly shrank.

He had just suspected that King Zhou Mu was still alive, but in the final analysis it was just a suspicion and there was no substantial evidence.

But now that Sheng Ji's words came out, it proved that his guess was correct. King Zhou Mu had indeed lived to this day.

This made Chen Ziyan silently sigh again, the water in this world is really deep.

First, in the Longling Cave, a Sheng Ji who had lived from the Western Zhou Dynasty to the present suddenly appeared, and then it was revealed that King Zhou Mu was not dead at all.

If we add in the Queen Mother of the West who also lives in a humble place, then there are already three immortals that Chen Ziyan knows.

What's even more amazing is that there are some connections between these three immortals.

Thinking of this, Chen Ziyan suddenly thought of Wang Kaixuan's strange attraction, and asked: "By the way, there is another question I want to ask the empress..."

"What you want to ask is the little fat man?" But before he could finish speaking, Sheng Ji said the rest of his words for him.

Chen Ziyan was silent for a moment and nodded: "Yes, I want to know why he attracts black cockroaches."

"because this."

Sheng Ji stretched out her hand, and then mist rose in her hand, and finally something familiar to Chen Ziyan appeared.

That’s the jade pendant passed down from Wang Kaixuan’s family!
