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

Accompanied by bursts of heavenly music, Qin Yangming sang loudly, competing with the strange and collective chanting of the Taoists coming from outside the cave.

Qin Yangming was seen singing loudly. Although the people in the Jade Emperor Hall had a slight headache, they were still sober and were not polluted by the strange chanting sounds outside the cave.

Gradually, the sounds outside the cave subsided and everything returned to peace.

Mo Ying and the others couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Xu Xiaobao asked:

"finished?"

The expressions on the faces of the people in Liyuan were still heavy. Guan Chong said:

"Probably not yet. We have to wait until the light outside returns to normal."

"And every time the light turns red, there's no telling how long it will last. If it lasts for too long, those ghosts will come in waves and won't leave!"

Qin Yangming and the others felt heavy-hearted after hearing this. Are they going to be trapped here forever?

Qin Yangming thought of something and asked:

"But, if the sky turns red, we have to hide in the cave and seal the entrance. How can we know whether the outside world has returned to normal?"

Guan Chong showed a helpless look on his face, and he said:

"There is no better way, we can only try..."

"try?"

Qin Yangming asked doubtfully.

Guan Chong nodded and said:

"We can only send someone to try. Open a small hole in the cave and send someone out. If that person comes back safely, then it's normal. If not..."

Guan Chong did not elaborate on the rest of the words, but everyone understood what he meant and couldn't help feeling a sense of panic in their hearts.

Guan Chong added:

"And when that person leaves the cave, everyone else in the cave must close their eyes tightly and stay as far away from the cave entrance as possible. This way, even if red light leaks in, the impact can be minimized, or even eliminated."

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. This attempt was too risky.

Qin Yangming said:

"Is there no better way?"

Guan Chong shook his head and said:

"No, we can't go out easily after there is no movement outside for a long enough period of time. We have to send people to test it this way. Otherwise, the whole army will be wiped out if there is any mistake."

At this time, no more sound came from outside the cave, as if the Taoists from Baiyun Temple and the strange woman had disappeared.

Inside the cave, Qin Yangming and the Liyuan musicians' ensemble stopped early. No one spoke anymore. Everyone was preoccupied, and the Jade Emperor Hall fell into a deathly silence.

Everyone fell into endless waiting, and time seemed to slow down for them, but they dared not relax, so for them, every second was torture.

I don’t know how much time had passed, maybe a day, maybe an hour, or maybe only ten minutes, before someone finally spoke.

"How about sending someone out to take a look?"

Qin Yangming, who was meditating with his eyes closed, slowly opened his eyes and saw that everyone's faces suddenly became tense.

It's time to send someone out to take a look, but who should we send?

Qin Yangming looked at the crowd that were vaguely divided into two groups, one group was the male and female actors of the opera, and the other group was the acquaintances who had just come up from the first floor and were surrounding him. It seemed that some subtle atmosphere was brewing in the Jade Emperor Hall, and those faces that looked so friendly before now began to become strange and indifferent.

Qin Yangming and Guan Chong looked at each other, and both of them understood each other's meaning from each other's eyes.

拖着。

"Hold on!"

"Wait and see!"

The two said this to their respective people.

Therefore, everyone could only fall into endless waiting again. Their nerves began to become numb. Some people began to become irritable and anxious instinctively, and began to imagine all kinds of terrible things in their minds.

Most of the people here are at the eighth level of the sequencers. Their bodies have been transformed by extraordinary powers, and they can go without food or water for a period of time.

No one knew how much time had passed, but the people in the Jade Emperor Hall still did not feel hungry. They could not infer the passage of time through their hunger. Sometimes, what is more terrifying than the unknown is blindness.

Guan Chong's mood at this moment was worse than anyone else's, because every time he looked at his little daughter, he would naturally think of his wife who was alone at home. Would she be in danger?

The Jade Emperor Hall was quite spacious and the lights were quite bright. Guan Chong finally couldn't help his anxiety and started pacing in the hall, walking from here to there and back again. Some of the relatively calm people began to become restless.

Suddenly, everyone saw Guan Chong changed his walking route and started walking straight towards the entrance of the Jade Emperor Temple.

"Owner!"

Yu Ji shouted hurriedly, walked forward and grabbed him.

Guan Chong turned his head, and everyone saw only his distorted face. Even the Guan Gong mask painted on his face was deformed, turning into a strange mask that added a weird color.

"Oh! It's okay, I just want to go there to see if the hole is blocked firmly!"

Guan Chong said hurriedly, anyone could see that his real thoughts could never be what he said.

Guan Chong was held back by Yu Ji, and everyone in the Jade Emperor's Palace was looking at him with scrutiny, so he had to change his pacing route and move away from the cave entrance.

The Jade Emperor Hall fell silent again. After an unknown amount of time had passed, everyone's eyes began to become dull, as if they had not moved for a long time and were beginning to rust.

There seemed to be no concept of time here, and they felt as if they were in a strange and chaotic space of the universe.

Suddenly, Guan Chong said to everyone:

"There has been no movement outside for a long time. It's almost time to send someone out to check it out!"

Everyone's heart skipped a beat. Yes, they should have sent someone out to check it out long ago. But who should go?

Guan Chong said:

"I'll go!"

He was so worried about his wife that he was willing to take the risk.

Seeing that the owner was determined to leave, everyone in the Pear Garden said nothing. Yu Ji opened her mouth, but when she saw Guan Chong's eyes that were on the verge of madness, she swallowed the words she was about to say.

He wants to go, he must go, and if anyone is to be sent out, it should be him.

Qin Yangming and others had no objections. Qin Yangming said:

"We have to agree on a code word."

Guan Chong nodded, this is necessary.

He asked Qin Yangming:

"What kind of code is appropriate?"

Qin Yangming frowned and said:

"How about this, we knock three times as a signal."

"If it's safe outside, how about you go out for a quarter of an hour and knock on the cave door three times, two short and one long, one light and two heavy?"

Guan Chong thought for a moment and nodded. He said:

"It's not just me who has to exchange secret signals, you all have to exchange secret signals as well, so that I know that you are still you in the cave."

When these words were spoken, Qin Yangming and others were all shocked.

Guan Chong looked at his infant daughter and said:

"My daughter's name is Yinping, which was given by my wife. It was taken from a relatively obscure ancient poem."

"When I wake up from my dream, the screen is still empty, and the cuckoo's voice is mournful behind the curtains."

He glanced at everyone in the Jade Emperor Hall and said:

"When the time comes, I'll say the first half and you guys say the second half. Don't make a single mistake!"

Qin Yangming nodded.

Guan Chong threw away his dark green robe and walked straight towards the sealed entrance of the Jade Emperor Palace.

At this time, everyone stayed far away from the cave entrance. They all leaned against the stone wall of the Jade Emperor Hall and closed their eyes tightly.

But in this way, they would not be able to see whether the light leaking out of the small hole that had just been opened was red light or blue light.

Inside the Jade Emperor Hall, Guan Chong carefully moved the stone lotus platform at the bottom, slowly bent down and looked out from the cave entrance.

The people in the hall who had their eyes closed only heard Guan Chong's surprised cry:

"The weather outside has returned to normal!"

After that, they never heard Guan Chong's voice again until they heard the sound of moving the stone lotus platform.

As everyone knows, Guan Chong has blocked the entrance to the Jade Emperor Temple again.

Only then did they open their eyes. At this time, the entrance of the Jade Emperor Temple was empty, and there was no trace of Guan Chong.
