The incident happened, the clan leader asked, and the man got away with it . Qin

Ruqing waited for a while before she heard the echo from the bronze bell.

"You came out?" Wu Lingyu said with a hint of surprise and confusion.

Without waiting for Qin Ruqing to reply, he said again, "Wait for me."

When Wu Lingyu came over, he saw Qin Ruqing curled up into a small ball, sitting on the steps in front of the courtyard gate. When she saw him coming, she raised her head, as if she was a little guilty, and then she became righteous and confident.

When Wu Lingyu walked up to her, Qin Ruqing had already stood up.

With his eyebrows slightly raised and a glance at her, the Fifth Feather said calmly: "Tell me, what happened? Why did you suddenly come out? Did you fail the Hungry Ghost Road?"

Qin Ruqing put her hands together and pretended to be anxious: "Originally, everything was fine. I had passed the fifth trial in the Hungry Ghost Road, found the beast arena in the deserted city, and then triggered the defense mechanism in the ancient palace of the deserted city... Then the judge suddenly appeared and started asking me questions. I answered them, and after I answered, I was suddenly teleported out... Teleported to the outside of the bronze gate of the Hungry Ghost Road, and I couldn't get in again."

"What's going on? Did I answer incorrectly and angered the judge, who then cancelled my trial qualification?"

"Do I pass the level or not, Is there still a rating?"

The Fifth Wing listened in silence, his expression became solemn. He took out his copper bell and cast a spell, as if he was investigating. After a while, he raised his eyes, looked at Qin Ruqing steadily, and said in a deep voice:

"You have completed the trial, but there is no rating."

"What should I do?" Qin Ruqing suddenly raised his voice, "-My reward! If I don't get the rating, then the reward will be stolen by me!"

The Fifth Wing choked and said unhappily: "Such a big thing, you only focus on that little reward..."

Qin Ruqing rolled his eyes, "You are talking nonsense, what else should I focus on if not the reward?"

The Fifth Wing laughed and thought so. She didn't understand what the Four Hells meant at all. The only thing that mattered to her was the reward of the assessment.

This heartless little wolf cub with a big appetite only cares about this.

"Tell me all the details quickly. This matter is very important. I need to report it to the clan." The Fifth Winged Feather put away his casual expression that always showed no concern for everything and showed a trace of seriousness.

As if infected by his serious expression, Qin Ruqing subconsciously shrank his neck and actually pulled the sleeve of the Fifth Winged Feather.

"Well, good director, you, the Fifth Family, will not think that the problems in the Hungry Ghost Road were caused by me..." Qin Ruqing couldn't help but ask the secret worries in his heart.

The Fifth Winged Feather's eyes fell on the thin white fingertips grasping his sleeves, and then raised his eyes to look at Qin Ruqing, and saw that she was really a little guilty and afraid. Of course, this "fear" is more about the fear of getting into trouble.

I couldn't help but sneer and said, "Don't worry."

"If there is really a problem in the Hungry Ghost Road, it's not something a little girl like you can solve. "

He seemed to be in a hurry to report to the fifth family. After asking for the details, he hurried away and told Qin Ruqing not to run around. Someone from the clan might come to ask her for questions soon.

Qin Ruqing looked at the leaving figure of the fifth Lingyu and stood there for another two seconds before slowly sitting back on the steps of the small courtyard. From time to time, she asked someone

Wu Lingyu,

the leader of the Fifth Immortal Clan, hissed after hearing this, and subconsciously twirled his beard in a look of surprise .

"Passed the customs but didn't receive a rating? This is weird. The first thing that came to mind was that there was something wrong on Qin Ruqing's end, "But she didn't meet the qualifications to pass the customs at all?" "

The fifth feather shook his head: "She has already won five trials. In the last trial, she successfully found the ancient temple in the deserted city and discovered the clues of the murals, and knew the truth about the city of sin. Then the judge appeared and asked her how she viewed the residents of the city of sin and how to choose between the resentment of the monsters and the residents of the city of sin. She answered, and soon after, she was directly teleported out of the hungry ghost road by the judge. The bronze bell showed that she had passed the level, but the judge did not give her a rating. "

This is what Qin Ruqing said to Diwu Lingyu, and it was almost true. Diwu Lingyu also relayed these original words to the Fifth Clan Leader.

After hearing this, Diwu Sheng was also shocked. According to this, no matter how the young lady of the Qin family answered the questions, she had indeed passed the test, and in his opinion, her rating would not be low. Why did the judge directly send her out?

Moreover, he, the Immortal Clan Leader, knew the identity of the Judge of Sin City. That big shot was not simple.

After pondering for a while, Diwu Sheng said: "Call her here and I will ask her in person. "

So, Qin Ruqing met the Fifth Immortal Clan Leader again.

When she met him for the first time, they were in a closed space, and the Fifth Clan Leader even transformed a medical forest into a landscape for her. The two got along happily that time, and the Fifth Clan Leader didn't seem to have any airs, and was very amiable. When she saw him

again today, Qin Ruqing felt something was different. This was obviously a study room for meetings, and the study room had a solemn and dignified atmosphere. The Fifth Clan Leader was wearing casual clothes, with his back to her. When he heard the noise, he turned around slowly with a serious look on his face.

Qin Ruqing felt a little sad in her heart, but she didn't hide it on her face. She showed a patient and nervous look, and saluted the Fifth Clan Leader.

The Fifth Clan Leader nodded lightly, and didn't actively put on a smile like last time. He just said solemnly: "Tell me in detail what happened after the judge appeared. "

When the Fifth Feather asked before, Qin Ruqing had already given a general idea, and now the Fifth Clan Chief is asking for more specific details.

Qin Ruqing knew that this was the most crucial battle. After passing this level, it would be none of her business how the Fifth Family investigated the Hungry Ghost Dao.

The difficulty of this level lies in how much "real stuff" she needs to reveal in order to fool the Fifth Family without causing any suspicion.

Qin Ruqing pondered in her heart, and finally bowed and said crisply,

"Ruqing made a major discovery during the fifth trial in the City of Sin. It was discovered that the real arena, that is, the ancient temple, was located inside the deserted city. Ruqing found the ancient temple according to the direction of the hungry ghosts' worship and entered the interior."

"The interior of the ancient temple is old and empty, with only twelve murals engraved with ancient events being the most special. Ruqing naturally paid attention to the murals and discovered clues on them. "

Ruqing discovered that the murals depicting victory in the war were just appearances, and the real murals were actually sealed by some kind of rules or prohibitions."

"Ruqing opened nine of them according to his understanding of the rules of the deserted city, and found that the truth of the sin city was recorded on them. But there were three murals, and I don't know if it was because the seals were different or there was no problem in itself, Ruqing couldn't see the true appearance of those three murals."

"After that, it seemed that the defense mechanism inside the ancient temple was triggered by Ruqing. Ruqing had a fight with the guarding monster and had been invaded by the monster, but it seemed that she was rescued by the judge."

"The judge said that I have passed the previous trials and only need to answer the last question. This question is also a choice. That is, should I save the residents of Sin City or continue to seal them and let them bear the sins of eternal reincarnation."

Diwu Sheng had been listening, and from time to time his eyes flashed with deep thought. Until he heard this, his eyes showed a hint of interest, and his voice became a little softer. He asked:

"Then how did you answer?"

Qin Ruqing lowered his eyes respectfully and said steadily: "Facing the majestic judge, Ruqing dare not lie. Although I wanted to save the residents of Sin City before, I also knew that sealing the resentment of the monsters was related to the safety of the human world. This is a dead end, a question that cannot be answered, so Ruqing finally returned and can jump out of this problem and find another way."

"Oh, looking for another way is quite interesting. Can you tell me how to look for another way?"

"Ruqing's answer at that time was: one method can lead to all methods. If blocking doesn't work, try to dredge. If dredge still doesn't work, then look for other methods. You can't limit your thinking to the unblocking and the residents of Sin City. Because this problem can't be chosen between the two."

Diwu Sheng actually smiled, "So, what was the judge's reaction after hearing it?"

Only then did Qin Ruqing reveal a trace of embarrassment, shook his head and said, "It seems that Ruqing's ideas are still relatively immature and crude. The judge smiled and asked me, do you think you can do what the ancient great powers couldn't do? Ruqing had to say, I just want to have a clear conscience."

"After that, the judge nodded, and without saying anything more, he sent Ruqing out. After she got out, she found that she had no rank and could not return to the Hungry Ghost Road."

After listening to this, Diwu Sheng was silent for a while, and asked: "What do you think about the fact that you have no rank?"

At this time, Qin Ruqing raised her eyes and glanced at Diwu Sheng secretly, and still chose to answer honestly:

"Ruqing was very scared at first, thinking that there was some omission in her answer and she had offended the judge. But after thinking about it, she felt that it should not be like this. Because the judge didn't look like he was annoyed with me at the time, but rather as if something happened suddenly and she was sent out urgently."

"After leaving the Hungry Ghost Road, Ruqing wanted to cover up the matter. After all, it was a big deal and she was afraid that it would arouse suspicion and bring trouble to herself." At this point, Qin Ruqing moved a little uneasily, and Diwu Sheng looked at her and smiled knowingly.

This kind of mentality is indeed human nature, but she dared to say it in front of him, the clan leader, which was considered brave.

Qin Ruqing coughed and said, "But after thinking about it carefully, I feel that this matter is very important and has many implications. After all... the purpose of Sin City itself is very special. Ruqing is afraid of people's suspicion, but she is more afraid that her concealment will cause greater trouble, so she couldn't help but tell the director a few words."

Qin Ruqing's words were a detailed account of the cause and effect of the matter. After listening to it, Diwu Sheng actually sighed and said with a hint of relief:

"Fortunately, you are smart. This matter is very important. Your concealment has delayed the important matter."

Qin Ruqing nodded.

The Fifth Sheng paused for a moment, then suddenly put one hand behind his back, looked down at Qin Ruqing, and asked, "You said earlier that you only removed the restrictions on nine murals? Why, can't the restrictions on the last three murals be removed?" His tone seemed very calm, yet full of meaning.

Qin Ruqing's expression remained unchanged. He thought for a while, as if recalling the scene at that time, and then he said, "Ruqing remembers that among the twelve murals at that time, the nine that depicted the truth of the Sin City seemed to have adopted the same kind of sealing restriction. That restriction is somewhat similar to the restriction of the Deserted City. As long as one is unlocked, the following ones can be easily unlocked."

"But the last three..." Qin Ruqing said, shaking his head, "the restrictions of those three seem to be particularly different. Ruqing tried all methods and couldn't unlock them. Before Ruqing could come up with a solution, the ancient hall shook and the defense mechanism was activated. Ruqing could only put it aside temporarily, and then he was teleported out..." After

Qin Ruqing finished speaking, there was no sound from the upper head for a long time, so long that Qin Ruqing couldn't help but sneak a peek at the expression of the fifth patriarch and found that he was looking at him. The two looked at each other. Qin Ruqing shrank at first, but when she saw Diwu Sheng laughing, as if she had passed the test, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Diwu Sheng smiled and said gently: "In this case, I know. You can go back first. The Diwu family will send someone to investigate the changes in the Hungry Ghost Road."

Qin Ruqing's tense body relaxed, but she still held back. After bowing to Diwu Sheng, she left

. After she left, a figure walked out of the dark room in the study. It was Diwu Lingyu.

Diwu Sheng looked at him and said, "How is it? You have the most contact with her and know her best. Is there anything wrong with what she said?"

Diwu Lingyu said lightly: "She is very smart and courageous, but she cherishes her life very much. What she said today, not all, but at least 80% is true. This 80% is enough to see something."

Yes, you can see something.

Diwu Sheng sighed: "Based on that girl's performance in the Hungry Ghost Way, she found the ancient temple, discovered the secret of the rules of the Deserted City, and unlocked the seal of the murals. She also has the answer to that question. She can't be said to be able to get a heavenly rating, but at least she can get an earthly rating. It was actually spread out like this, it's really weird."

Because based on the performance of the Fifth Family's disciples in the Hungry Ghost Way over the years, more than half of them would be able to win the game in the rules of the Deserted City, and most of the remaining half would not be able to discover the secret of the murals, and only a very small number of people could unlock the seal and induce the judge to ask that question.

Diwu Lingyu mentioned something at this time: "She said she only unlocked the restrictions of nine murals."

Diwu Sheng raised his eyes, "Do you think there is a problem with this? So far, no one in the Fifth Family has been able to unlock the restrictions of the last three murals. Isn't this exactly right?"

If Qin Ruqing said that she didn't notice the problem with the murals, or unlocked all the restrictions, and didn't mention the number nine, Diwu Sheng would be suspicious.

Because according to the Fifth Family's investigation of the Hungry Ghost Road for so many years, they knew that there was a great man who had survived from ancient times buried in the Hungry Ghost Road.

It seemed that he was living in the last three murals.

But that great man seemed to be quite indifferent to them, the Fifth Family, or didn't care. The Fifth Family asked for an audience several times, but the great man never showed up.

Therefore, it was reasonable for Qin Ruqing to say that she could not open the restrictions on the last three paintings, because even the Taichang Elder of the Fifth Family could not open the last three paintings.

It was because of this that Diwu Sheng dispelled the last bit of doubt about Qin Ruqing.

Diwu Lingyu was silent for a while, shook his head, and said nothing more.

Afterwards, Diwu Sheng personally invited the three great elders of the Fifth Family. Two of them had been in seclusion for many years, and one of them guarded the Wanjuan Pavilion. She was the old woman who practiced under the astrology map of the Wanjuan Pavilion.

The three great elders plus the Fifth Clan leader personally went to the Hungry Ghost Road. They went straight to the ancient temple of the deserted city and came to the twelve murals.

The old woman felt the three murals for a while, frowned and said: "The mysterious fluctuation has completely disappeared."

Diwu Sheng checked the environment in the temple, and then went to the core of the formation and looked at the beast statue on the wall of the main hall for a while. He confirmed that the formation was still there and functioned well, and he breathed a sigh of relief. Another great

elder went to see the judge of the trial court. The senior leaders of the Fifth Family actually knew that the judge of the Sin City was actually just a trace of divine thought of that mysterious and powerful person.

Wearing a Taoist robe, she looked at the very simple Tai Shang and said solemnly: "No wonder the little girl has no rating. That divine thought has completely lost consciousness and no one is controlling it."

The old woman made a guess: "The great man may have passed away, or fallen into a deep sleep, or..."

Everyone can hear what the old woman didn't finish. The great man who lived for so many years usually used some secret method to prolong his life, but man cannot fight against heaven, and if the great man died, it would be a normal phenomenon.

Diwu Sheng was shocked, "Isn't that great man the guardian of the Hungry Ghosts and the human world? How could he fall so easily?"

The old woman said, "It's just a possibility. I'm more inclined to believe that he left temporarily for some reason, so the order of the Hungry Ghosts is normal, but there is no ranking."

But no matter which one it is, it can't be called good news.

The old woman said, "The barrier between the human world and the beast world has become thinner, the beast tide has come earlier, and then the ancient great man has disappeared. It has to be said that this is a sign, and the Diwu family should have responded early."

After talking for a while and checking the formation, they confirmed that there was no other movement in the Sin City except that the mysterious great man had lost contact, and then they planned to leave.

Before leaving, Diwu Sheng looked at the screen wall and sighed, "It's a troubled time!"

Going to the Immortal Tomb to find the complete inheritance should be put on the agenda as soon as possible.

It's a pity that the little girl from the Qin family, who is so compatible with the Fifth Family's original heritage, is not from the Fifth Family.

That's the Supreme Road, what a pity.

After Qin Ruqing returned to the waterfall courtyard, a few days passed. During these days, the Fifth Family seemed to be doing the same as before. Qin Ruqing even deliberately mixed in with the young disciples of Diwu Yingjun to inquire about the news and confirmed that the upper and lower levels of the Fifth Family had not received any news at all.

This matter was kept secret.

During this period, neither the Fifth Clan Leader nor the Fifth Lingyu came to see her. Qin Ruqing breathed a sigh

of relief. This shows that her words were basically accepted by the Fifth Family. Even if there are doubts in some places, it is not a big deal. It's a small matter. Her contribution to unlocking the seal for the Fifth Family in the Immortal Tomb is enough to offset those doubts.

That's it.

When Qin Ruqing was preparing for the speech, she had already set the tone of "nine parts true, one part false".

Most of the things she explained to the fifth patriarch were true, and she only concealed a few things about the murals and the conversation between the powerful and her.

Qin Ruqing wanted to say nothing about the murals, but later found that it was inappropriate. Because the twelve murals in the ancient temple were so conspicuous, it would be strange if she didn't mention it.

If she wanted to mention it, the question would become whether she should be honest about discovering the restrictions, and how many restrictions on the twelve murals were solved in total.

This is a very critical number. If there is anything wrong, Qin Ruqing will be in trouble immediately.

After thinking about it, she decided on the number "nine". It was not random, but had a deep meaning.

Because there are only nine murals that explain the truth of the Sin City, and the other three, the most mysterious three, have different seals than the first nine.

When Qin Ruqing found that her method of unsealing with the rules of the deserted city did not work, she tried using the Tao body, and only then was she able to unlock the last three.

Qin Ruqing's process of unlocking the ban seemed to be smooth, but she later thought that not everyone has the Qinglian Tao body.

All the wonders she found in the Four Hells proved that she, or this Tao body, had something to do with the inheritance of the Four Hells .

Later, she also awakened the powerful who had been sleeping here for many years, and asked the powerful to directly give her two heavenly tokens.

With all these things added up, Qin Ruqing had to say: She might be a little special in the Four Hells.

This might not be her belief, but a kind of reality.

This actually means that the restrictions on the last three murals that she could open easily might not work for other people in the Fifth Family.

In the end, Qin Ruqing decided on the number nine. It was good enough to be able to see the truth of the City of Sin, but it would not exceed the Fifth Family's imagination.

People are often afraid of things that are beyond their own knowledge. As long as what she mentioned did not exceed this range, Qin Ruqing would be sure to get out.

As for the agreement made between her and the mighty one, about the map, she would certainly not mention a word.

Qin Ruqing was almost 100% sure that the mighty one was not closely connected with the Fifth Family, and the Fifth Family only knew of the existence of the mighty one at most.

Otherwise, why did the mighty one only give the token to her and not to the people of the Fifth Family? No one in the Fifth Family has ever collected four heavenly tokens.

This is obviously a choice.

After a few days, Qin Ruqing still didn't hear any movement, and she knew that she had indeed gotten away with it.

Before she could breathe a sigh of relief, the Fifth Wing, who had not been a thief for a long time, suddenly knocked on the door in the middle of the night.

Qin Ruqing opened the door, and the Fifth Wing leisurely folded his hands. Seeing her, he said calmly: "You have been in Penglai for a while. Do you want to go out and take a look?"

The Fifth Wing took her to the coast outside the sacred mountain. At this time, there was a clear and beautiful scene of a bright moon rising from the sea. The Fifth Wing invited her to watch the moon.

Ha! Watching the moon! It's quite poetic, isn't it? But Qin Ruqing just felt creepy.

She twitched her lips and said, "Director, you called me out in the middle of the night, didn't you just want to watch the stars and the moon with me?"

Fifth Feather glanced at her and said lightly, "Is it not possible?"

Qin Ruqing sighed and sat next to him, "Okay, but I'm not the kind of poetic person."

Fifth Feather smiled and said lightly, "That's right."

Turning his head to look at Qin Ruqing, his eyes reflected the light of the sea, and there was a hint of chill.

He said, "So, of the twelve ancient murals, you really only looked at nine?"
