Sequence: Waking up in the secret room and letting me play the fortune teller

Inside the Jade Emperor Hall in Baiyun Temple, there was darkness, complete darkness. Nothing could be seen, only pure darkness.

Everyone was deprived of their sight. They were in a panic for a moment, feeling very nervous and insecure.

The unknown is the most terrifying thing, and darkness is a synonym for the unknown.

"Grandmaster!"

"Taoist Priest!"

"Owner!"

For a moment, the Jade Emperor Hall was filled with noise. Someone accidentally bumped into someone next to him, someone fumbled around and touched something, then suddenly screamed, scaring everyone...

"quiet!"

Qin Yangming acted promptly and a loud thunder blasted in the Jade Emperor Hall, shocking everyone. For a moment, the Jade Emperor Hall was completely silent.

Then, Qin Yangming raised the iron sword in his hand high, and a bright flame burned on the tip of the sword, bringing light to everyone.

Only then did everyone see everything clearly. They looked at the pale faces around them illuminated by the flames, and felt a little uneasy for a moment.

After a while, Li Yuan and others quickly stood together, and those who came up from the first floor also gathered around Qin Yangming.

Qin Yangming inserted the iron sword diagonally into the stone wall of the Jade Emperor Hall cave, using it as a lamp. He walked up to Guan Chong and said:

"Owner, what is going on?"

Guan Chong's face, which was painted with red mask, became extremely solemn. He said in a deep voice:

"My benefactor, you may not know that although there are no trials in this second layer, the sky will turn red every once in a while!"

Guan Chong saw that Qin Yangming and others were puzzled and said:

"My benefactor, do you still remember the blue light that can be seen everywhere here?"

Qin Yangming nodded, and Guan Chong continued:

"What do you think that light is?"

Qin Yangming pondered:

"This second floor is full of caves, and you can't see the sky at all. That light can't be moonlight, right?"

Guan Chong nodded and said:

"You're right. The second floor as a whole can be described as a huge cave. The light from outside can't reach inside at all."

Qin Yangming recalled the scene on the first floor. It was like an extra-large underground parking lot with no doors or windows, and no light from outside could come in. The only light source was the old light bulbs on the low roof.

Qin Yangming recalled the places he saw after he went up to the second floor. The light blue light was evenly spread everywhere, just like the light bulbs evenly installed on the roof of the first floor.

Only then did he remember that it seemed that all caves, big and small, had light. No matter how narrow and deep the cave was, or how spacious and magnificent the large cave was, the intensity of the light was the same.

In a huge cave with no light source, there is light everywhere you go, and it is the same light. This thing in itself is very strange.

Guan Chong saw that Qin Yangming's brows were furrowed, so he didn't keep him in suspense and just said:

"My benefactor, these pale blue lights are actually emitted from the stone wall on the top of the cave."

Qin Yangming looked at the stone wall above his head with some surprise.

That's not right. Why does the light disappear when the cave is blocked?

Yu Ji knew what Qin Yangming was thinking, and she said:

"You can think of these connected caves, big and small, as individual lives."

"Life?" Qin Yangming asked in surprise.

Yu Ji said:

"Yes, it is life, a life that needs to breathe."

"When a cave is open, it is connected to the outside world and can breathe freely, and it will emit this blue light."

"If you block its hole, it will be cut off from the outside world, unable to breathe, and unable to emit light."

Bai Lu suddenly said:

"It's a bit like photosynthesis in plants, taking in carbon dioxide and water and releasing oxygen."

Yu Ji nodded, thinking that this understanding was correct.

Mo Ying stared at the roof of the Jade Emperor Temple in surprise, his mouth open in amazement and unable to speak.

Qin Yangming's thoughts suddenly jumped far away, and he asked:

"That means there must be an opening in this huge cave on the second floor. Otherwise, if the second floor is completely sealed and a closed system, all these caves, big and small, would not be able to 'breathe'!"

“Can the entrance to the entire second-level cave lead to the third level?”

Guan Chong looked at Qin Yangming with some surprise and said:

"Your thoughts are really jumping around, we don't know about this..."

Qin Yangming waved his hand, indicating that he should continue.

An idea suddenly flashed through Yu Ji's mind, and she said:

"The lady just now compared this reaction of producing blue light to the photosynthesis of plants."

"Then the reaction that now produces red light can be likened to the opposite of photosynthesis - respiration."

No one reacted to this sentence for a while, Yu Ji explained:

"Now suppose there are two substances, let's call them substance x and substance y. When the cave performs 'photosynthesis', it absorbs substance x and produces substance y. At this time, blue light will be generated in the cave."

"When this x-matter is exhausted, each cave will consume y-matter and produce x-matter, and then it will emit red light."

"Then the sky will turn red!"

Guan Chong said solemnly:

“When the sky turns red, it will be dangerous!”

Qin Yangming asked: "Why?"

Guan Chong said:

"When the sky turns red, some people will become delirious, talk nonsense, and even start killing people for no reason!"

"There will be some very strange things happening, and many people will die for unknown reasons!"

Listening to Guan Chong's words, Qin Yangming and others felt very heavy in their hearts, as if a huge rock was pressing on their chest, making it hard for them to breathe.

Guan Chong continued:

"Don't be exposed to the red light at this time. Find a closed place to hide until the sky outside turns back to its previous light blue color."

"Also, at this time, no matter what sound you hear or who is shouting at the entrance of the cave, don't go out."

"Because you don't know whether the person outside is a human or a ghost!"

Having said that, Guan Chong sighed heavily, he was worried about his wife who was still in the garden.

Qin Yangming suddenly thought of something. Can x substance and y substance be understood as yin and yang energies?

At this time, Xu Xiaobao had a question that had been in her mind for a long time, and she finally asked Guan Chong:

"Owner, why do you want to give birth to a child in a place like this?"

Guan Chong's strong face showed a hint of tenderness, and he said:

"Even in a place like this, you will fall in love with someone and want to live a good life with her..."

Some people in the opera house made mocking sounds and booed, and Guan Chong's face turned even redder.

At this moment, a rapid cry for help came from outside the Jade Emperor Hall:

"Is there anyone inside? Help me!"

For a moment, the Jade Emperor Hall was completely silent, and one could hear a pin drop. An extremely weird and terrifying atmosphere overwhelmed everyone like a wave. They felt their hair stand on end and they ran cold all over.
