The Candle Palace was originally deserted. After the lantern festival was held in the palace, the palace people who had stayed here to sweep the sprinkles also attended the lantern festival.

It was a huge palace, spacious, luxurious, and magnificent, but since entering the palace, Ji Qingzhuo discovered that the palace was only luxurious in terms of architecture and furnishings. These were the legacy left by the previous generation and had nothing to do with the current Emperor Liang.

She is in charge of the palace's accounts, and she knows all about the expenditures of the palace. This palace is extremely simple. Even the annual lantern festival is held in a simple manner.

Therefore, there are not many palace people serving the monarch in the palace, so they came to the Candle Palace smoothly, and did not meet anyone along the way.

Tonight was snowing heavily, in order not to leave footprints on the snow, Shen Rongyu suppressed his breath to the minimum, summoned the Snow Burying Sword, only one inch off the ground, and flew to the Candle Palace with Ji Qingzhuo.

The palace gate of Candle Palace was locked, except for the gate, the rest of the place was banned by Candle Moth - this demon is cautious.

The lock could not be broken, nor would it leave any traces of violently opening the lock. Shen Rongyu directed the red blood spring to hide, sneaked into the inside of the lock cylinder, and relayed the structure to Ji Qingzhuo.

He can also unlock the mechanism in the lock himself, but Ji Qingzhuo is faster than him.

Ji Qingzhuo turned the internal structure of the lock cylinder into a three-dimensional image in his mind through Shen Rongyu's retelling, and quickly calculated the key to unlocking.

The invisible red blood spring opened the lock of Candle Palace according to Ji Qingzhuo's command. After they entered, they sealed the lock again.

Walking into the main hall of the Candle Palace, the wind blew outside the hall and blew the translucent gauze up. There seemed to be countless ghosts dancing in the hall. blow out.

At the end of the hall is the incense table and seats with red candles, but from the outside, the main hall is definitely more than this size. Behind the incense table is a dark golden wall carved with reliefs. After this, there should be something special.

The relief wall is a mechanism, and the delicately arranged mechanism is not as simple as the formation method. The relief on the wall is a dragon soaring in the clouds.

The territory of the Liang Kingdom is much larger than the current Liang Kingdom. Before the Desolation Rebellion, the Liang Kingdom was a small and not small country in the Yunliang boundary. Later, it was disrupted by the war, the country was torn apart, and multiple forces were divided. Going out and doing things on their own, the original Liang country only has a small space left.

Later, after the current Emperor Liang took the throne, those lost territories were slowly recovered. The village where Ji Qingzhuo crossed Huayu was originally a territory of Liang.

Ji Qingzhuo looked at the dark golden relief wall in front of him, while Shen Rongyu instructed the invisible red blood spring to slowly tap every inch of the relief wall to estimate the thickness change of the relief wall. According to the information he fed back, Ji Qingzhuo was very impressed. Find the switch position to turn on the relief wall soon.

"Xiaoyu, here." She whispered, tugging at Shen Rongyu's sleeve.

Ji Qingzhuo grabbed the corner of Shen Rongyu's sleeve and took him to the lower right corner of the huge relief wall. This part of the map is the land that Liang Guo has not yet recovered.

She stretched out her hand, took out the handkerchief, held her hand, and put her palm on the map. Soon, the pictures of these maps were scattered, and a small door that only one person could pass through appeared on the embossed wall.

Ji Qingzhuo walked in directly, while Shen Rongyu bent down and passed behind her.

After they entered, the embossed wall closed automatically. Ji Qingzhuo looked up at the other side of the embossed wall. The thickness of each metal brick that made up the wall was different. You could adjust the arrangement of these metal bricks to set a password, even if human beings Without mastering spells, the mechanisms they do are not weaker than spell bans, and they even have a sense of wisdom cohesion.

After the relief wall, it is another world. There are still heavy curtains. The first curtain is lifted, and a huge formation appears in front of Ji Qingzhuo and Shen Rongyu.

For the first time, Ji Qingzhuo felt that the evil formation was a desolate Earth Vein and Star formation. At this time, the formation that appeared in front of them also gave Ji Qingzhuo an uncomfortable feeling.

She is proficient in calculation, and with just one glance, she can see that driving this formation requires energy, and above the source of the formation's eyes, stands a slender candlestick. On the side of the candlestick, there is a groove for water diversion—or rather, it is not a water diversion groove. This groove extends all the way to the center of the array. Any fluid on the top will flow down the groove and spread to the entire formation, providing energy to the formation.

The essence of this formation is "transaction", in which the sacrifice on the candlestick is exchanged for something else.

Shen Rongyu raised her hand and pressed her shoulder.

Ji Qingzhuo was a little afraid of this formation, and did not dare to look forward to it. Shen Rongyu raised his sword and walked forward. He saw that there was still dried blood on the candlestick. The blood stains provoked a little.

Humans and demons are different. The so-called blood of demons is only the embodiment of the energy of the earth veins and ghosts, while the blood of people carries vitality.

The Snow Burial Sword swallowed the dried blood clot, which showed that the blood on the candlestick was not from the candle moth.

"Is it... Emperor Liang?" Ji Qingzhuo asked softly.

"This formation only connects Emperor Liang and Candle Moth. Even if the others drain their blood on the candlestick, they will not let this formation start." Shen Rongyu's voice was indifferent.

Although he still doesn't know the relationship between Candle Moth and Emperor Liang, this does not prevent him from thinking that Emperor Liang is stupid.

A demon is a demon after all, and at the moment when the negative energy combines with the ghost energy of the earth pulse, the demon no longer has any humanity.

"There's something behind." Ji Qingzhuo pointed to the heavy curtains, lifted his skirt, and planned to walk over.

But before the formation that was once full of blood, she flinched again. She would not be afraid of any specific demons, but... she was afraid of blood and death, because the latter was truly losing everything.

Shen Rongyu stretched out his hand towards her and picked her up with only one hand. He stepped on this formation without feeling any discomfort.

Ji Qingzhuo put his hands on his shoulders and whispered, "Xiaoyu, I'm sorry."

She knew that she was hesitant to move forward, and she was afraid of a dried blood formation, which was annoying, but...she just didn't like it, and subconsciously refused to contact these things.

"It's better for Zhuozhuo not to look at these." Of course Shen Rongyu knew what she was taboo about, he knew that Ji Qingzhuo had bad eyes and couldn't see the bright red color.

She dared not look at red, just because red was the color of blood.

He didn't know what she had been through, she was a very strange person.

After the sacrificial formation, Shen Rongyu put down Ji Qingzhuo, and behind the triple curtain, it seemed that something was still sealed.

Shen Rongyu walked in front, he used the Snow Burying Sword to lift the gauze curtain in front of him, the falling sword wind swept up the curtain, and the thing hidden behind the heavy curtain finally revealed a corner.

It is a corner of an old portrait. The figure of the person in the painting is painted in the royal style, solemn and solemn. Because of the age, the painting has been returned, and it even has the original beautiful cheek of the painter. Mottled cracks.

- No one is maintaining the painting, it seems that it is just hanging here, so that it can be so weathered and aged to disappear.

The moment Shen Rongyu saw the person in the painting, his pupils shrank suddenly, and then he immediately covered Ji Qingzhuo's eyes.

He was always calm and ruthless, but at this moment, his hands were trembling, and his up and down palms were pressed against the eyelids covered by Ji Qingzhuo, revealing his inexplicable emotions.

Ji Qingzhuo only saw one side of the portrait, and saw that the person in the painting was a woman with solemn and dazzling jewelry, and then her eyes were covered by Shen Rongyu.

She still couldn't see what the person in the picture looked like.

"Xiaoyu?" She raised her hand and held Shen Rongyu's wrist, her tone puzzled.

She didn't understand why Shen Rongyu suddenly covered her eyes.

"Don't look." Shen Rongyu's voice trembled with forbearance.

He raised his eyes and looked at the person in the painting, a tyrannical mood rose, he didn't understand why her portrait appeared here, and now he just wanted to hold the sword, destroy the painting, and watch it shatter into thousands of pieces Millions of fragments are burned with fire, and the dust is scattered into the wind, erasing all traces of its existence.

Shen Rongyu's hand holding the sword clenched tightly, but Ji Qingzhuo's eyes blinked under his palm, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, scratching his palm, itchy and gentle.

"I don't see it." Ji Qingzhuo was not curious about everything around her. Even if the portrait made Shen Rongyu's emotions fluctuate so much, she could still forget about her curiosity after a moment of curiosity.

It's okay to watch it, or not to watch it. Since Shen Rongyu told her not to watch it, she didn't watch it either.

Her answer was so obedient that it could even be called a wise man's approach.

But Shen Rongyu's emotions still did not calm down, his fingertips slid across Ji Qingzhuo's cheek, and his fingertips were still trembling.

"Why aren't you curious?" Shen Rongyu asked, his voice was low, even with a hint of incomprehensible madness.

It seems that as long as Ji Qingzhuo's answer makes him dissatisfied, his fingertips will move down, taking his life directly.

Ji Qingzhuo felt that she couldn't understand Shen Rongyu's brain circuit. He covered her eyes and didn't let her see it. She didn't want to see it. Now he came to ask her why she didn't want to see it.

Shen Rongyu, you really are a big villain.

Ji Qingzhuo's temper was still good, she said softly, "Xiaoyu, you won't let me see it."

"You won't..." Shen Rongyu quickly suppressed his inexplicable emotions when he saw the portrait, and focused his attention on Ji Qingzhuo.

Her every move can easily draw people's attention.

He began to engage in a fruitless contest with her again - in the end it was his compromise.

"Don't you say, 'Xiaoyu, I want to see it, please let me see it'?" Shen Rongyu decided to teach Ji Qingzhuo how to express her demands.

Ji Qingzhuo said, "I won't."

Shen Rongyu hugged her tightly, but still covered her eyes.

If it was in the past, she would have been silent, just like this until the end.

However, when Ji Qingzhuo was holding his hand at this time, she could sense that his emotions were still unstable.

She sighed lightly, thinking of the bones of the sea of ​​blood again.

Ji Qingzhuo felt a little distressed about him, so he thought and coaxed him.

So she said, "Xiaoyu, do you want me to say this?"

She threw the question to Shen Rongyu again, and this rhetorical question caught him off guard.

Want her to say, of course, he wants her to be interested in him, at least a little curious about everything about him.

But, does he want her to see it? He did not want.

He is the most secretive, the most unspeakable, the secret that he most wants to bury.

Ji Qingzhuo was still waiting for his answer quietly, her breathing was shallow, like a well-behaved little animal lying in his arms.

After a long time, Shen Rongyu's low sigh came from the empty hall.

"Think," he said.
