Zhou Yu stopped and waited for Shen Yijin's instructions.

Chen Yijin: "Take half a step to the right, then about five steps forward. Don't stop and walk towards the nine o'clock direction... Be careful, there may be other traps over there."

A drop of cold sweat slid down Zhou Yu's forehead. He took a few deep breaths and moved according to the route Shen Yijin said.

When he was halfway there, Zhou Yu was nearly pricked by a steel needle. His heart beat faster and he narrowly avoided all the traps and came to a safe place.

Zhou Yu looked around while panting. He found a switch, hesitated for a few seconds, and finally pressed it.

The lights came on instantly, and Nan Mingcheng took a deep breath when he saw the situation clearly.

There were more than twenty mechanisms of various sizes on the road ahead of him. The safe route that Zhou Yu had taken now had many more obstacles, all of which were mechanisms that had just been triggered.

Shen Yijin looked at the situation in front of him, pondered for a moment, turned to Nan Mingcheng and said: "Let's go together. If you can't avoid it, I can help you block it."

"Okay." Nan Mingcheng didn't try to be brave. He went over Zhou Yu's route in his mind, then took a run-up and rushed out.

Shen Yijin followed beside him, covering his rear.

Under Shen Yijin's protection, Nan Mingcheng passed smoothly.

What they faced next was a bronze door with an electronic lock.

The electronic screen of the bronze door detected Shen Yijin and the other two, and a question popped up.

Zhou Yu leaned in to read the question: "Excuse me, what was the cause of death of the five villa hostesses?"

"What kind of question is this?" Zhou Yu widened his eyes. This question was incoherent and he had no idea what the answer was.

He even suspected that there was no answer to this question at all.

When Shen Yijin heard this question, her face turned ugly.

She was sure of one thing - this was not a secret experimental base where female ghosts were imprisoned. Bei Lanshan knew that she would come to rescue the female ghost, so he specially led her here.

Shen Yijin stepped forward and said, "Death by heart disembowelment."

Despite having multiple wounds on their bodies, the five female ghosts had one thing in common: the area where their hearts should be was empty.

A big red check mark appeared on the electronic screen, and two seconds later, the second question appeared.

Zhou Yu looked at Shen Yijin in surprise: "You actually know the answer?"

Shen Yijin ignored Zhou Yu and stared at the screen intently.

The second question is the same as the first, even the punctuation marks are unchanged.

But Shen Yijin knew that the answers to the two questions were different.

She recalled the fortune she had told the female ghosts when she first arrived at the villa. Although the female ghosts all lived in the villa and called each other sisters, the blood connection between the five ghosts was very weak.

They were cousins ​​separated by many generations. By chance, they lived in the same villa and died on the same night.

The day they died was a winter day...

Shen Yijin had the answer in her heart, and she whispered: "They are all descendants of the Sun family in Qianfang Village, and they died due to karma."

The fox fairy helped the Sun family boy a lot, but the Sun family not only did not repay the fox fairy, but also took the lead in demolishing the fox fairy temple.

Cause and effect will always be cyclical, and retribution will always come.

The bloodline of the Sun family from a thousand years ago finally continued. A thousand years later, the Sun family had to use another way to repay for what they had done to the fox fairy.

But the Sun family's retribution shouldn't have come so early. Bei Lanshan must have played a driving role in it.

A red check mark appeared on the electronic screen again, followed by the third question.

"The third question is also the last one. Are you willing to resurrect the fox fairy?" Zhou Yu looked at the last question and was completely confused.

He looked at Nan Mingcheng's expression and found that his eyes were also full of confusion, and he felt a little more balanced.

He is not the only one who doesn't know the answer, which means there is nothing wrong with him, but the question itself.

When Shen Yijin saw the last question, she didn't know how to answer it.

She knew what answer Bei Lanshan wanted. He wanted to resurrect Hu Yunrong and was willing to pay any price for it.

People have to pay the price for their words and actions. Shen Yijin cannot say something against her will just to answer the question correctly.

If her answer was that she was willing to revive the fox fairy, even if she was unwilling, the heaven would push her forward and help Bei Lanshan revive Hu Yunrong.

She had no idea what would happen in the process of resurrecting Hu Yunrong, or how many lives would be required to do it.

Chen Yijin closed her eyes and spoke after a long while: "As long as it does not violate the rules of the world, does not harm innocent lives, and follows the Tao, I am willing to resurrect the fox fairy Hu Yunrong."

The check mark and red cross flashed alternately on the electronic screen. It was obvious that this was not the correct answer set by Bei Lanshan.

But Shen Yijin found a loophole, and the system couldn't tell whether the answer was right or wrong, and eventually it malfunctioned and became scrapped.

The warning light on the electronic lock illuminated and the self-destruct mechanism was activated.

Shen Yijin felt that something was wrong. Bei Lanshan's intentions were already very clear.

Those who follow him will prosper, and those who go against him will perish.

Since Shen Yijin didn't give him a satisfactory answer, he wanted Shen Yijin to die here.

There was an explosion in front and a trap behind, and Shen Yijin and the other two had no way to escape.

Chen Yijin no longer cared whether Bei Lanshan could sense her presence or not. She used her spiritual power to erect a protective shield to cover herself, Nan Mingcheng and the other two.

As soon as the protective cover was put up, the electronic lock exploded.

A hole was blown in the protective shield, and before Shen Yijin could patch it up, the electronic lock exploded again, as if it was afraid that the first blow wouldn't kill anyone.

"It's too late to replenish the protective shield, you guys hide for a while!" Shen Yijin was shocked and quickly used his spiritual power to resist.

Before her spiritual power could touch the bomb's wave, a sword appeared in front of her.

The broken sword, which was only the size of a palm before, suddenly enlarged a hundred times. The broken sword, as tall as a person, blocked Shen Yijin and the other two, blocking all damage.

Chen Yijin was standing at the front and immediately noticed that the tip of the broken sword was repairing itself bit by bit. When the aftermath of the explosion dissipated, Nan Mingcheng's broken sword had been repaired to its original state.

Nan Mingcheng looked at the intact sword in front of him and felt his blood boiling.

He walked forward, reached out and grasped the hilt of the sword. The sword returned to its normal size and trembled slightly, as if it was talking to Nan Mingcheng.

"The Sword that Slays Evil..." Chen Yijin finally understood why she felt that the Broken Sword looked familiar. Isn't this the sword of her old friend?

The Evil-Slaying Sword was the first sword forged by her old friend, and it had been carefully kept in a storage bag.

No one knew what happened, but this sword actually became Nan Mingcheng's natal sword.

Nan Mingcheng looked at the sword in his hand, the corner of his mouth slightly raised: "So it's called the Evil-Slaying Sword. This name suits it very well."

Chen Yijin didn't know what to say for a moment. She tried to predict Nan Mingcheng's past life, but came up with nothing.

"Do you know someone named Jingxuan?" Chen Yijin asked Nan Mingcheng in a hoarse voice. She didn't notice that her hands were shaking when she asked this question.
