One Qi Chaoyang

Chapter 399 Mao Ri
Zhao Fuyun frowned slightly, holding the Red Flame Divine Lamp in his hand, and walked towards the door. The other party stepped aside to open the door, but when Zhao Fuyun approached, he could see the man clearly.

This man's head turned out to be that of a chicken.

It's a rooster.

He tilted his head slightly, revealing his one eye, with which he looked at people.

The one-eyed creature's eye sockets were circled in red and had another circle of golden hair. If it were a rooster, it wouldn't have made him feel scared. But when a rooster that looked like a human stood here and looked at him, he couldn't help but feel a sense of terror in his heart.

This is a monster.

The hat on the other person's head prevented Zhao Fuyun from seeing him clearly before, and he couldn't tell whether there was any hair under his thick black robe.

Zhao Fuyun looked at him, and he also looked at Zhao Fuyun.

This chicken eye is weird.

Zhao Fuyun clasped his fists and said, "May I ask your name?"

"I don't have a name, I'm just a key keeper." The rooster demon said in an unclear voice.

Zhao Fuyun looked at him, his whole body covered by the black robe, and looked into his eyes. He felt that his eyes were like a small sun.

The cock crows and the sun rises.

Rooster is masculine.

Such words flashed through his mind, but after listening to the other party's words, he said: "Everyone has a name, and you must have a name too. It just depends on whether you are willing to say it."

"People with the surname Yun always speak nicely. The last person who chased me and asked my name was Yun Yiqing. I can also tell you that my name is Mao Ri." The rooster demon replied.

Zhao Fuyun had an inexplicable sense of familiarity with this name, because he remembered a 'Maori Star Official' deep in his memory, who was a star god, but also a demon.

Zhao Fuyun clasped his hands and bowed once again.

The other party made way, and as he moved, the sound of keys was heard. Zhao Fuyun walked past him, but did not walk any further. Instead, he asked, "Where are you taking me?"

"Of course we have to leave here. This place is a cage." said the key keeper Mao Ri.

Zhao Fuyun lowered his head slightly to glance at his feet, but saw nothing because the black robe was dragging on the ground, covering his feet.

When Zhao Fuyun looked at him again, he found a hint of anger in his eyes.

"What are you looking at?" asked the Key Keeper Mao Ri in a somewhat cold voice.

"Nothing, just checking if the ground is flat." Zhao Fuyun said.

The other party tilted his head, half-believing and half-doubting, and said: "Come on, I'll take you to a place."

"Where?" Zhao Fuyun asked casually, his eyes looking at the corridor in front of him. The corridor was very long and formed an arc. It was not clear from a distance. There was a row of dark red lanterns there.

The dark red lanterns blended with the darkness, forming a strange color.

"Follow me, you'll know when you get there." The key keeper Mao Ri led the way in front. Zhao Fuyun looked back at the room he came out of.

I saw that the door of the room behind me was wide open, and there was darkness inside, as deep as an abyss, and I was walking out of it.

For some reason, when Zhao Fuyun turned around, he felt that there was a pair of eyes staring at him in the room.

Looking at the Key Keeper Mao Ri who was swaying as he walked in front of him, he had some doubts about what the other person said.

At his age, it is impossible for him to believe anything else easily.

Even if what the other person said was consistent with what he thought, he would still have doubts.

When he looked back, he saw the darkness. The darkness was so deep and terrifying that even after he had walked so many steps, he still felt that the darkness was enveloping him.

The room was like an abyss, and he felt that he had not yet walked out of the abyss. The key keeper in front, Mao Ri, was still walking. Zhao Fuyun, holding the Red Flame Divine Lamp, followed behind him step by step and asked, "How far do we have to go?"

"Soon." The key keeper Mao Ri answered vaguely and in a low voice.

Zhao Fuyun looked to his left and right and found that the window he had walked past several times before was missing, and his brows frowned slightly.

Continuing to move forward, the void in front of him opened up a part in the light, and a window appeared in his eyes.

He stopped at the window and remembered that there was also a person locked in this window.

Of course, there could be someone hiding in there.

I couldn't help but ask: "Excuse me, do you know who is in here?"

"There are many rooms in the Hall of Rebirth. Some people come here to escape disasters, some are imprisoned here by design, some break in by accident, and some come here on their own initiative to meditate. I shouldn't know who is here, but I happen to know the people in this room." The key keeper Mao Ri explained slowly.

This Mao day looks weird and scary, but it will answer all questions.

"Who is it?" Zhao Fuyun asked naturally.

"The person here is called Mei Zhen. It is said that she is the head of a sect. She has been imprisoned here for quite some time. Of course, there are many people with such status in the entire Rebirth Hall. She is nothing special. However, she has not yet passed away in the darkness, which is rare."

The words of the key keeper Mao Ri suddenly made Zhao Fuyun think of a person and an identity.

He once wrote on the secret wall of precepts in Tiandu Mountain that the first name after Master Xiyi was Mei Zhen.

How come Master Meixian, the Taoist companion of the founder of Tiandu Mountain, is here?

Is it the same person, or just someone with the same name?
He remembered that when he saw the name on the secret wall, the light on it was dim, as if it was in a difficult state.

Is it because I’m trapped here?

He stopped beside the window and tried to shine the light on it, but the key keeper Mao Ri also stopped and said, "You'd better not disturb her. If she is in seclusion, you will interrupt her practice."

Zhao Fuyun half-believed and half-doubtedly stretched out his hand to block the light of the lamp.

Continuing to walk forward, he looked back and saw that the room he had left had become dark and could not be seen clearly.

When I looked back forward, I found a big door at the end of the long corridor.

The door was closed, he walked over and said, "We're here. You've been locked up here for quite some time, you must be hungry. Let's go eat something first."

Zhao Fuyun was surprised. Is there anything to eat in such a place?
The key keeper Mao Ri pushed open the door. Surprisingly, it was not pitch black inside, but there were lights on. The lights seemed depressing in the darkness, only the size of a bean. The fire was also suppressed and could not spread far.

After he walked in, he felt a mixture of light and darkness. Under the light, a table appeared, with people sitting on both sides of the table.

No, they were not people, but chickens. They were all wearing black robes and pointed black hats, with half of their faces hidden under the hats.

When Zhao Fuyun walked in, he found that those 'people' tilted their heads and looked at him with the one eye under their hats.

He discovered that these "chickens" were not all roosters. Judging from the one eye, there should be hens as well, both old and young. There were about twenty of them in total, like a large brood of chickens.

He was stared at by these twenty or so chickens that looked like "humans", and his heart instantly felt frightened.

The door behind him suddenly closed. He looked back and saw that the key keeper Mao Ri who had brought him in had closed the door. Then he said, "The meal is here. Get ready to eat."

"meal?"

Zhao Fuyun couldn't help but look at the empty table, and the plates and meat knives on it.

He began to feel uneasy.
