Chapter 57: The Gigantic Eye Black Hole

  Wu Huang smiled mysteriously, as if there was something unsaid. He led Kalamayi and Lao San into the altar, while a group of blue demons grabbed my grandfather and Zheng Ju Zhang followed closely behind. My grandfather stopped at the entrance of the stairs, looked back at me with a farewell gaze, and said: "Remember what I told you, go to Qipan Mountain, don't worry about the corpse poison. Old Xiao, do you still remember what that senior said back then?" After finishing speaking, he walked down the stairs with Zheng Ju Zhang.

  I watched as my grandfather's figure gradually disappeared, and I loudly shouted: "Grandfather!" The sound echoed in the great hall, but Grandfather didn't respond. I faintly felt that this might be the last time I see him in this lifetime.

  I turned around and asked Fu Ma: "Are you okay?"

  Fu Ma nodded: "It's just that I'm afraid we won't be able to hear the voice of our hearts anymore." Xiao Lao let out a deep sigh.

  Yang Cangcang said with a puffed up face: "Ma Ge, wait till I see Li Long, I'll definitely help you get justice."

  "Let's go down together." I looked at Wu Zihan and asked, he nodded, I carried Wu Zihan on my back, Can Can and Xiao Lao supported Fu Ma to the entrance of the stairs, inside it was dark and seemed like an endless abyss. I thought about taking out the flashlight from my bag, most of our medicine and tools were in Karamay, that is, Mother Bureau's bag, there were only a few things left in my backpack, we only had this one flashlight, really need to take good care of it.

  As we walked down the layered stairs, our group of five walked and stopped, not knowing how long we had been walking. The air below was damp and cold, with a faint smell of blood that made people feel dizzy. Two of us were already injured, Xiao Lao and Cang Cang had also been poisoned to varying degrees, and I couldn't let anything else happen, so I called out Jiu Chong to protect everyone. He flew around us, looking like a small bodyguard.

  The smell of blood grew heavier, and from time to time, a faint sound like drumming could be heard. A faint yellow light gradually appeared in front of me. To save battery, I turned off the flashlight and continued walking along the light until I reached the end of the stairs. Before my eyes was a relatively spacious great hall, its size comparable to the palace above.

  They stood in the center of the great hall, saw us coming and didn't say anything, just called the blue demon to block our way, perhaps afraid that we would disturb the sacrifice. This underground palace should be a secret altar, with a three-headed goddess statue at the front, its expression similar to the carving in the grand hall above, but different from it, only the three heads of the goddess statue were enshrined here, without a body. The head was almost as tall as a person, and unlike the golden material above, this one was all black.

  On the ground in front of the three heads, a huge eye-shaped totem was carved, and this eye looked almost as big as the three heads. I asked Xiao Lao in a low voice, "What is this place for?" Xiao Lao was also confused, "I've never seen such an array before, don't know, let's just wait and see."

  Wu Huan made a gesture, and the Blue Demon people all quieted down. The temple hall was so silent that you could hear a pin drop. Wu Huan knelt in front of the three god statues, and his mouth began to make a hissing sound. I thought to myself, how come another me can speak ancient Wuguo language, but I couldn't?

  Xiao Lao seemed to see through my thoughts and said, "If old man hasn't guessed wrong, the ancient Wu National Language is like a genetic gene that has long been deeply embedded in your blood vessels. You won't be affected by the seal of Luosha Ghost Curse."

  I nodded and turned to Yang Cangcang, asking in a low voice: "What is he saying?"

  Yang Cangcang furrowed her brow and listened for half a day, shaking her head and saying: "I don't know, the words are all understandable on their own, but when they're put together I have no idea what they mean. It's probably some kind of spell."

  Wu Huang finished reciting the incantation, stood up, and said to my grandfather and Director Zheng: "The two array spirits of the Great Qiankun Array, it's your turn to take the stage."

  After Wu Huang finished speaking, we couldn't help but stare at each other in shock. It turned out that my grandfather and Director Zheng were the array spirits of the Qiankun Array, so the Qiankun Array had never lost its effect. Wu Huang saw my stunned expression and said: "What's wrong, Zhou Junyang? Are you very surprised? Everything you encountered in the Qiankun Array was all thanks to them, and I have nothing to do with it, including the corpse poison."

  Yang Cangcang spat and said: "Fake goods, you really have no shame. Director Zhou would never do that. You must be coercing him."

  Yang Cangcang gave me a cold glance: "I don't want to be on the same level as women." He made eye contact with Mother Director and Old Three, who then carved a small cut on the arms of Zheng Director and my grandfather. To our surprise, their blood was light blue in color. The blood flowed onto the ground and eventually gathered into the giant eye totem, or rather, it was sucked in by the eye. After a while, the entire eye turned light blue. A loud noise erupted, and the three goddesses' heads suddenly opened their mouths, startling us all.

  Grandfather and Director Zheng were pushed to one side, the two of them sat weakly on the ground. I wanted to go over and take a look at Grandfather's situation, but was blocked by several blue-robed men baring their teeth. Xiao Lao whispered to me: "Don't act rashly, this sacrifice is probably inevitable, no one can stop it now, let's just wait and see."

  Wu Huang spoke in a low voice to Director Mu and Old Three, and they left through another door from the center of the main hall. Wu Huang slowly walked to Director Zheng's side, squatted down, tilted his head and asked: "Old man, I'm asking you, more than thirty years ago, besides that little girl, who else did you two old men send out, and where did they go?" Wu Huang pointed at Yang Cangcang.

  Director Zheng looked up at the sky and burst out laughing, putting on an air of nonchalance, weakly saying: "You're not calling yourself Wu Huang, are you? If you have the ability, go investigate it yourself."

  The face of the Wu Huang drew closer, his tone heavier: "Even if they are from the Xuan tribe, it's impossible for them to remain unchanged for nearly forty years. What method did you use? Could it be that there really is some secret to longevity, just as he said?"

  "Who?" Director Zheng hummed softly, "Sorry, I don't know who you're referring to."

  At this moment, Mu Ju and Lao San have returned, with several Blue Devils still following them. Each of them is holding a stone vat in their hands, which seems to be very heavy. They are walking with great difficulty, one step at a time. The vats look just like the ones we saw in the secret room earlier. The Blue Devils behind them are also carrying one.

  Seeing them return, Wu Gui kicked Zheng Director's body and cursed: "Dead old man, I'll use your heart to sacrifice the god statue soon. If you blame anyone, blame those few who broke into the secret room, and now the last heart is not fresh."

  The witch pointed at the stone statue with its mouth open and said: "Offer human hearts to the stone statue."

  The mother bureau director, who had previously been so majestic in the hidden tune bureau, had never suffered such a fate. Now he looked like a slave, his face gloomy, yet not daring to erupt, could only puff out his cheeks and slowly lift up the stone vat, opening its lid. I almost heard the sound of a heartbeat still echoing inside. The mother bureau director covered her nose, with extreme disgust, pushed the stone vat into the mouth of a god statue. As soon as it was poured in, the statue's mouth closed, and a rumbling sound came from inside, as if the god statue was chewing. Old Three had no expression, almost as if Wu Ziheng had possessed him, he also followed the mother bureau director's example, pouring the second vat of heart into another god statue's mouth. The god statue reacted in the same way as before. The last vat was poured in by Blue Demon.

  I finally realized that the people who were missing hearts in the secret room were all dug up to sacrifice to this god, and I couldn't help but feel a chill run down my spine. What kind of thing would harm so many people?

  Yang Cangcang's face was twisted in a mixture of anger and hatred as he asked Xiao Lao, "What kind of evil god is this that still wants to eat human hearts?"

  Xiao Lao couldn't bear to look anymore and said in a low voice, "This god should be the master of the dark side. As for what exactly happened, I don't know either."

  Wu Huan suddenly appeared beside my grandfather, with a sinister smile saying: "All that's left is your heart, old man." His fingernails instantly grew extremely long, and I immediately shouted loudly: "Stop——" Wu Huan's hand hovered in mid-air, unable to move down, his face filled with astonishment.

  Yang Cangcang was overjoyed: "Jun Yang, you can control that fake."

  Fu Ma shook his head and said: "I don't think so, Director Zhou is Jun Yang's grandfather, and also the grandfather of the fake one, he can't make a move."

  "How can he still have a conscience? Who would believe that?" Yang Cangcang snorted softly.

  Grandpa burst out laughing: "Good grandson, come on?"

  He couldn't bring himself to do it, and immediately shifted his attention to Director Zheng's side, "Use his instead." He gritted his teeth and said. I immediately called out the Nine Worms' command: "Quickly freeze him in place."

  Nine worms came out, saw two identical me, immediately stunned, after a mournful cry, Director Zheng opened his eyes wide and fell to the ground. Wu Huan held a bright red heart in her hand, covered in blood, staring at me: "You're really stupid, you are you, I am you, we can both control him, unless your Rasetsu curse is lifted." He casually threw Director Zheng's heart into the mouth of the god statue.

  Grandpa wiped his eyes with a trembling voice and said, "Old Zheng, you've been pretending to be dead for over ten years. This time, you finally don't have to pretend anymore." I stood by, staring blankly, feeling my own incompetence deeply for the first time.

  When the last god statue closed its mouth, the giant eye totem on the ground suddenly emitted a white light, and the entire eye began to sink. The ground turned into a black hole in the shape of an eye. Wu Huang's face was full of evil smiles as he shouted loudly: "I've waited for so long, and finally this day has come."

  The mother-in-law on the side had a big mouth and looked into the black hole with her head stretched out, and asked loudly: "What can you see now?"

  The mother looked at it for half a day, shook her head and said: "A piece of darkness."

  Suddenly, the ground began to shake and a strong gust of wind blew out of the black hole, sucking everything in as if it was going to swallow everything. The mother director was at the edge of the cave and almost fell in. She quickly grabbed onto the statue, scared and covered in sweat.

  "Wu Huang shouted loudly: 'You all quickly hide behind the statue, otherwise you will all be sucked into this black hole.'"
