Chapter 400: There’s a secret! There’s something wrong with you!(1/3)
Si She tied up the two people who were knocked unconscious and tied their mouths with cloth strips to prevent them from suddenly waking up and disrupting their plans...
Shen Lian looked around again. After confirming that there was nothing useful in the hall on this floor, he looked at the stairs aside and said, "Let's go to the second floor and have a look."
With that said, he went directly to the second floor.
Go up the stairs.
Sishe glanced at Tianji and said, "Let's go."
Tianji then followed, with Sishe walking at the end.
The stairs are made of wood, but they are very familiar and there is not much creaking sound when walking on them.
Not long after, they arrived at the second floor.
As soon as Shen Lian arrived at the second floor, he saw the scene on the second floor and said, "It's the Sutra Pavilion."
I can only see that the second floor is different from the first floor.
The second floor is not empty, but rather crowded, because it is filled with bookshelves, and there are many books on the bookshelves.
Shen Lian casually took out a book and opened it at will.
"The Legend of Beidou Empress."
Looking at the title of this book, Shen Lian couldn't help but smile: "This Beidou Club has really put some thought into it!"
"In order to deceive people, you even made up such a legend?"
Shen Lian was really surprised.
He originally thought that Beidou Empress was just a tool that Beidou would use to make money.
Take it out when you need it.
No need to throw it away casually.
But I never expected that the Beidou Society would write such a thick biography and legend specifically for Empress Beidou.
This is really amazing.
Si She was also surprised.
He hurriedly asked: "Master, what is the legend of Beidou Empress? How did they make it up?"
"Let me take a look."
Shen Lian opened the pages of the book, read for a while, and said, "The book says that Empress Beidou was originally just an ordinary girl from an ordinary family, but she was smart since she was a child. She was filial to her parents and kind-hearted."
"When she was little, she was very kind. Every time she saw injured animals, she would bandage them up and let them go. She would also secretly bring them some food to help them. Protect them."
"But the little girl didn't know that these little animals were monsters who were accomplished cultivators. Later, in order to repay their kindness, these monsters took the little girl away and gave her the method of cultivation."
"More than ten years later, the little girl became successful in cultivation, went down the mountain to practice, and began to help poor people."
"He treated people's illnesses, stopped wars and killings, promoted the concept of peace, and did many good things."
"In the end, in order to stop the killings in the two countries and save the people of the two countries from the harm of the war, he sacrificed himself and awakened the good nature of the soldiers of the two countries. From then on, the soldiers of the two countries put down their weapons and lived in peace."
"The people of the two countries commemorated and appreciated her sacrifice, cast a golden body for her, and began to worship her. They also called her Beidou Empress. From then on, the deeds of Beidou Empress were widely spread, and Beidou Temples began to be built one after another. Arise, the number of believers is increasing.”
Shen Lian flipped through some pages and said, "There are many more stories in it, but in general, that's it."
Si She couldn't help but said: "I didn't expect that Beidou Empress would have such a mythical flavor."
"But let the two countries stop killing, which two countries?" Sishe asked.
Shen Lian shrugged: "It's not mentioned in the book, so who knows."
"Perhaps there is no such thing as two countries at all. It is just a fabrication made up to add divinity to her."
Shen Lian wanted to continue to look back, but then Tianji suddenly said: "They are all useless fabrications, there is nothing interesting about them."
"Let's go, there's nothing on the second floor."
With that said, Tianji was about to walk towards the third floor.
Sishe put down the books in her hands and followed.
Shen Lian narrowed his eyes slightly.
"There's something wrong with Tianji."
Tianji rarely reveals anything in front of Shen Lian.
Moreover, Tianji's words seemed a bit abrupt this time.
It looked like they didn't want Shen Lian and the others to stay on the second floor for long.
what happened?
Is there really something wrong with the books on the second floor?
besides……
Shen Lian looked at the book "The Legend of Beidou Empress" in his hand and narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Is it really all just made up?"
Although he just said this to Si She, Shen Lian always felt like he had seen her before.
He always felt like he had seen this story somewhere before.
But for a while, he couldn't remember it.
Shen Lian has experienced too many things, and the human brain has limited storage space.
Therefore, some useless things that he never uses will slowly be piled into the corner of his memory.
These things, unless he encounters something, can inspire him and make him recall it quickly.
Otherwise... maybe I will never think of it again in my lifetime.
So, is this feeling of déjà vu a memory he piled into a corner?
Shen Lian is not sure.
Even if you are as smart as him, you can't remember everything.
Shen Lian glanced at Tianji and Si She and saw that they were about to reach the third floor. He let out a breath and quickly followed them without any further delay.
However, he secretly put the biography of Empress Beidou into his arms and hid it.
He had a feeling that this book definitely had secrets and was definitely useful.
I just don't have a clue at the moment.
But maybe one day in the future, something he experiences in the future will become the key to unlock all the secrets.
When the time comes, maybe this will become a crucial clue.
He didn't hesitate anymore and quickly caught up with Tianji and Mishe. Behind them, he followed them to the third floor of Beidou Tower.
When they arrived on the third floor, after seeing the scene on the third floor, the three of them... were suddenly stunned...
"This is?"
Si She was the first to speak.
I saw that the third floor of the Beidou Tower was brightly lit.
Many candles are lit.
With the beating of candlelight, the light in the room is very bright.
Of course, what surprised Shen Lian and the others was not these bright candles.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! It is a portrait hanging on the wall behind these candles!
That's right, the candle holders of these candles are all mounted on the outside of the wall.
And behind the candle is a portrait.
At this time, with the beating of the candlelight, these lifelike portraits seem to be coming to life, which is a bit scary.
And more importantly, these hundreds of portraits all depict the same person.
Some laugh, some are sad, some purse their lips, some frown, some shed tears, some feel compassion for others, some smile broadly...
The expression in each painting is different.
The clothes in each painting are different.
But their appearance is exactly the same.
beauty.
Beautiful and breathtaking.
And, it was exactly the same as the stone statue they saw on the street before...
No, it is more beautiful than the stone statue.
Because of the carving and the stone itself, it is difficult to express all the beauty of the stone statue.
To be continued...
