Lin was secretly provoked by Chu Qianli. He was furious inside, but he was calm on the surface. He said slowly: "I understand that you still remember the little unpleasantness in the past, but we said at the time that we should take a step back and cooperate with each other. Now the development of the ruins should be put before the past grudges."
"You are all good at calculating. If I really had any ulterior motives, you would have known it long ago." Lin raised his eyebrows.
This statement implicitly accuses China of not taking the overall situation into consideration.
Chu Qianli waved his hand: "Oh, what grudges? Don't think too much. We are just looking at each other. We are all fighting for the same goal. Even if you don't enter the ruins, you can still shine in other positions!"
Everyone can say this in public, so she naturally doesn't want to be outdone.
Q saw that everyone was not convinced by Lin, so he suggested, "Then let Abner take charge of the development and exploration, and I will be in charge of the safety around the ruins. Lin will continue to investigate the kidnapped researchers and coordinate with the embassy. How do you think?"
Since the Chinese side resists Lin's participation, Q will have to take the lead himself.
Joe was inexplicably kidnapped in Country H, and his country's embassy also spoke out.
Pan Yicheng: "We have no objection. This arrangement is fine. It won't delay the progress and we can still find the missing person."
After the meeting, everyone agreed, except Lin, who looked gloomy.
After the meeting, Lin turned his pen around in displeasure and said coldly, "This is to marginalize me completely."
Lin had expected China to oppose, but he did not expect Q to give in.
Shi Zhuoqu: "Because Chu Qianli holds the last key, Q cannot ignore China's opinions."
Now, before the sixth bead has even fallen, Mondsen has already started a quarrel with the Chinese side. This is obviously not a wise move.
"It doesn't matter. I don't care about Q's opinion anyway." Lin leaned back in his chair and ordered, "Go contact Country A. I agree to their proposal."
After Country A snatched Ruenshi and Qiao, it contacted Lin and others privately to seek opportunities for an alliance. Although Mondsen is powerful, factional struggles are everywhere, which does not mean that there are no barriers within.
"Do you really want to do this?" Shi Zhuoqu was stunned, "But you are already Monderson's successor..."
"Zhuoqu, you don't think I got my current position for nothing, do you?" Lin said calmly, "Don't you think our names are weird? Q? And Lin?"
"Q used to be called Quinto, and there were countless children in the family whose names started with Q. But when he became the ruler, he had a new name, Q, which represented an era."
This is the rule of Monderson, the family leader is given a single letter name, which is recorded in history. When later generations look through the information, they only know the first Q and the second Q, but they don't know the candidates who were screened out.
Shi Zhuoqu was stunned and had no idea about this.
"So I haven't got everything yet." Lin's eyes deepened slightly, "But I will be the real L soon."
Q brought Mundson to prominence, now it's his turn.
"They will definitely bring the key with them when they enter the ruins. If we can grab it before we place it, we're already halfway there."
As long as Lin holds the key in his hand and joins forces with Country A to force the emperor to abdicate first, Q will be helpless.
On the other side, Chu Qianli found Abner after the meeting and proposed to go to the Gate of Truth again. She still felt dizzy the second time she walked through the corridor, but the headache was much better than the first time.
Tan Muxing kept observing her facial expression, and when they arrived at the spacious hall, he even rubbed her temples.
Chu Qianli came to the hall just to figure out the Seven Stars Beads and crack the secret of the seventh bead.
The crystal ball on the stone pillar cannot be removed now, and it is useless for outsiders to try to bend it.
Chu Qianli looked at the patterns on the stone pillar and asked curiously, "Does this pillar have anything to do with Kabbalah?"
"Yes, the carvings on the stone pillars are similar to the Kabbalah Tree of Life." Abner nodded and said gently, "Many of the mechanisms at the spirit pendant placement sites also share the same origin."
Tan Muxing felt that the stone pillar looked strangely familiar, so he tentatively said, "I remember that the design style of the Mondsen family crest is very similar to this stone pillar."
The main pattern of the Mondsen emblem is a snake and an apple, but there are many other similar elements.
Abner explained: "Their family emblem comes from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, which is the opposite of the Kabbalah tree of life. The fall of mankind is the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, which is the process of Adam and Eve being expelled from the Garden of Eden. The reverse ascension and return to eternal life is the tree of life. One must overcome the inner demons to succeed."
Tan Muxing seemed to understand but not quite.
Abner smiled and said, "It is said that Adam and Eve ate the fruit of the tree of life first, and then they lived forever in the Garden of Eden, leading a free and pure life. However, they were not allowed to eat the fruit of the tree of good and evil. But you know the final result."
"They ate the good and evil fruit under the inducement of the snake?"
"Yes, many people only feel that God is arbitrary after reading this story. Why were Adam and Eve expelled because they knew good and evil and rebelled against God's authority? This is really unfair. In fact, they don't understand the metaphor of good and evil."
Chu Qianli continued calmly: "There is no good or evil in the laws of the world. The so-called good and evil are concepts of human self, and they all come from desire."
Abner agrees: “Yes, Adam and Eve already had eternal life. They were free in the Garden of Eden, but they still could not control their desires and broke the covenant with God. This was the first sin of mankind.”
This sin will continue into the future. People can break their covenant with God and with other people, so sophistry, deception, and hypocrisy will continue to emerge.
At this moment, someone in the corridor called out to Abner, interrupting the conversation of the three.
"Although I really want to continue the research with you, Q will deploy personnel here soon, so I have to go over there to help." Abner looked regretful, "Let's talk about this next time."
After Abner left, Tan Muxing recalled what he had just said and wondered, "Why did man fall from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil? Is it bad to know good and evil?"
"Well, how can this be explained? All we can say is that humans know good and evil but cannot differentiate between them. Once concepts are formed, the standards cannot be unified and it is no longer pure."
Chu Qianli gave an example with a smile: "For example, in the past, if Xingxing hit me, it would be defined as evil. Later, it developed into Xingxing being aggressive towards me being evil. Later, Xingxing thinking something bad about me was evil. Later, Xingxing being disobedient to me was evil..."
Tan Muxing said weakly: "...You didn't hint at anything, did you?"
"That's why the standards cannot be unified!" Chu Qianli said with a smile, "Because people are not omniscient and omnipotent, their judgments are subjective, and they may even release greater malice under the banner of goodwill. That's why people know good and evil but can't distinguish between good and evil."
"Others say that God originally intended to give Adam and Eve the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil, but only after they had completed their mission to spread love on earth. However, they ate the fruit before their work was finished. Eating the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil would give them the power of judgment, but they were too eager to have the power of judgment and fell into sin."
Chu Qianli said softly, "People who judge others easily are guilty, because they judge themselves as good when they do something good, and judge others as evil when they make a slight mistake. They don't have a true great love, and any judgment is to protect themselves, so they are even more evil."
Tan Muxing thought thoughtfully: "So that's how it is."
"But these are all discussions among theists." After Chu Qianli observed the crystal ball stone pillar, she walked to the side of the Gate of Truth and said crisply, "If we use the atheist's words, it means that you should judge others less and take care of yourself!"
The two of them squatted in front of the Gate of Truth and began to study the Seven Star Beads. Now they have five beads, which makes six with the Tarot cards, but one bead is missing.
Chu Qianli carefully interpreted the symbols near the Gate of Truth. Soon she felt a headache again. She shook her head hard, trying to get rid of the feeling of overusing her brain.
Tan Muxing asked worriedly, "Are you still feeling very uncomfortable?"
Every time she took possession of a relic, it seemed to be particularly difficult.
The amount of information in the ruins is dense, which may have a great impact on sensitive people.
"Alas, it turns out that modern computers still cannot calculate future programs. The host will definitely overheat." Chu Qianli sighed and sobbed, "But I already have the strongest computing power in the world. I must rely on myself to deduce. Others can't do it..."
Tan Muxing faced her Versailles scene: "?"
After Chu Qianli finished speaking, she continued to ponder in front of the Gate of Truth. She squatted until her feet felt numb, and then she stood up to relieve the stiffness of her body.
"I always feel that this ruins is not yet complete." Chu Qianli looked up and down and said in confusion, "The information on the door is incomplete, and the traces left behind are from different eras."
If you think about it carefully, the first six key placement points were not completed at the same time. They must have been visited hundreds of years apart. However, they are all classified into the Seven Stars System, so there must be some device that can cover them.
When people found seven keys and saw the seven-star-shaped slots, they presumed that each key corresponded to a hole and that the ruins could definitely be opened. However, they never explored the reasons for the construction of the ruins, and were not even sure whether the ruins were complete.
The mechanism of each key placement point is recoverable. Meiru Z and others have completed the test. The six-pillar plum blossom pile can still be used, but the seven-star chain seems to take seven days to reset.
"Are the ruins incomplete?" Tan Muxing said in surprise, "But I was surprised when I came here. You said that the builders were from different eras, but it feels like the style of each place is similar. If you are a fashion designer, you should at least unify the concept first."
Although each agency has its own characteristics, many parts are similar, such as recording department data and hiding murder plans in deep places.
"Unified concept?" Chu Qianli pondered, "There's no chief engineer here, so it's hard to unify the concept, right?"
As soon as Chu Qianli finished speaking, she suddenly thought of something, and an idea came to her mind. She turned around and ran towards the narrow corridor, looking at the pattern on the wall intently.
If there is a unifying concept, it must be the murals on the wall, which everyone has to pass through when entering.
The builders were all metaphysical geniuses of different times. They must have been extremely sensitive to the murals and perhaps they had learned something from them!
Chu Qianli brought Tan Muxing back to the corridor. This time they did not leave directly, but observed carefully.
After a moment, Chu Qianli felt dizzy. Countless images exploded in her mind, from humans making fire by drilling wood to trains speeding by. A vast amount of information poured in, carrying thousands of years of history, not to mention the potential future.
She managed to get through the corridor last time by avoiding the murals, but she couldn't concentrate on it for more than a few minutes.
Tan Muxing saw her face turn pale and advised: "Maybe they digested it bit by bit. After all, it took a long time to build this place. It's impossible for them to see it all in one day like you did."
Abner said he had a fever the first time he walked through the tunnel, but he made progress every time he walked through it, perhaps because he had to work slowly.
"But the Seven Stars in a Row can't wait that long." Chu Qianli said, "If we can't find the Ruen Stone, it will close soon."
Chu Qianli gritted her teeth and walked in the corridor. The fortune-telling she had done before was nothing compared to this. The mental work the corridor brought her far exceeded that of fortune-telling for 100,000, 1,000,000 or even 10 million hexagrams!
Tan Muxing followed her with a worried look on his face.
Not long after, Chu Qianli finally lost the battle. She squatted down with her hands on her head, curling up into a ball uncontrollably to relieve the pain exploding in her head.
Tan Muxing's expression changed slightly. He blocked her view and said firmly, "You can't watch anymore. You should rest."
She used to be happy studying astrology, but now she seems to be in great pain.
Huang Jue collapsed in the corridor at that time, so there is no guarantee that she would not have a violent reaction.
Chu Qianli originally wanted to endure the pain, but at this moment she saw Tan Muxing's face full of sadness, and hesitantly looked at him, like a small animal observing in the dark.
Tan Muxing was always easy to talk to, but now he said seriously: "It's not okay for you to look at me like that."
This concerns her health, so she cannot take any risks.
Chu Qianli noticed his stubbornness, her eyes rolled, her expression changed immediately, and she said pitifully: "Xingxing, dizzy, dizzy."
“…”
When Tan Muxing corrected her attitude, she immediately changed her tactics.
Tan Muxing saw Chu Qianli staring at him eagerly. He really had no way to deal with her, so he carried her on his back without complaint and simply walked straight through the corridor and left the hall where the Door of Truth was.
Chu Qianli lay on his back. She took the opportunity to peek at the mural. She felt a headache again and subconsciously wanted to hold her head.
Tan Muxing noticed her little action and asked hesitantly, "Are you looking at it again?"
"No, no, how could that be!" Chu Qianli rubbed him with her chin and said softly, "I'm really dizzy, really dizzy."
There is no way to deal with Talking about Muxing now. Talking to her is useless. She will whimper and watch the mood, find all kinds of ways to act coquettishly and make trouble, or just pester and annoy people. It can be said that she is extremely cunning.
Tan Muxing said in a good-tempered manner: "If you really want to see it, come back later. You have to take a break."
Chu Qianli lowered his head and hesitated: "...Okay."
She knew that what Tan Muxing said made sense, that staying here for a long time would be too stressful, but she was also afraid that there would not be enough time left.
The two of them rested outside for a while, and when she recovered a little, they went back and forth several times, but still to no avail.
"Xingxing, let's go back. We can only put down the tarot cards first."
This time even Chu Qianli gave up completely and admitted that he couldn't figure it all out in one day.
The changes of day and night in Country H are quite strange. The clear sky is always covered with gray clouds, like a light watercolor painting that slowly unfolds. The sun covers the light clouds with soft light, but in the slightly cold snow and wind, even the sun is frozen and cannot climb up to the sky, and disappears soon.
The task of placing the sixth key came quickly.
There was a huge crowd of people at the place where the tarot cards were placed. In addition to the researchers, there were Chinese armed police and troops from Country H protecting the safety of the place.
Pan Yicheng looked around the surrounding terrain and said, "There is actually a dormant volcano here."
"That's why we are developing it carefully," Abner said with a smile. "If we touch the ruins carelessly, it might bring about a catastrophe, and in the end, nothing will be left."
Although dormant volcanoes are not active, it does not mean they are completely free of danger.
Meiru Z and Xu Zaiyuan were searching for the seventh bead. They were not well versed in western mysticism, so they did not come along today.
The place where the tarot cards were placed was a narrow tunnel leading underground. Since Pan Yicheng was older and had difficulty walking, Liu Jun asked him to wait on the ground and took some armed police officers with him.
Chu Qianli and Tan Muxing moved slowly with the team, and Abner followed them down.
Chu Qianli: "Don't you need to go find Q today?"
"He has already arranged the staff in the lobby and doesn't need me for the time being, so I came here." Abner said, "Compared to other things, I am more interested in these."
The walls of the tunnel are colorful, which are the traces of nature's cleansing.
The group reached the bottom and finally saw the whole structure. In front of them was a huge, deep ravine with no bottom in sight. Three thick columns stretched across the ravine, like three giant bridges suspended in the air.
There stands a stone slab at the edge of the gully, with neatly arranged small grids on it, exactly seventy-eight grids, corresponding to the number of Tarot cards.
Abner was stunned: "This is different from a pendulum. There is no place to put it directly."
The small grid on the stone slab is only the size of an ice cube, which is obviously not enough to accommodate Tarot cards.
Chu Qianli observed carefully, then she took out the Baby Stone Tarot cards and swiftly selected twelve cards. She then asked the people around her for props: "Is there any water?"
Tan Muxing took out a bottle of mineral water from her bag, squeezed it open and handed it to her.
Chu Qianli had originally tried to piece together the major and minor arcana to form a complete starry sky painting, but twelve extra tarot cards appeared. She was now filling the corresponding small squares with water based on the extra cards, trying to see if she could activate the mechanism.
All twelve grids were filled with water, but there was no change in the ruins.
Everyone looked at each other.
Chu Qianli shook his head in astonishment: "Does it mean to fill it with mercury? How did the mystics in the past conduct their research?"
The next moment, the three huge pillars made a loud rumbling sound, and their sides extended several sections, seemingly connected. The pillars were carved with intricate patterns, and there were rings every few steps. With the sudden appearance of the extended stone pillar, it was a legendary existence!
Abner witnessed this scene and exclaimed: "This is the Kabbalah Tree of Life!"
The three columns are the Pillar of Majesty, the Pillar of Balance, and the Pillar of Compassion. Together with the twenty-two paths that just extended out, they form the structure of the Tree of Life.
1-10 are the ten sephirahs, 11-32 are the paths connecting the sephirahs, and they correspond exactly to the twenty-two Major Arcana cards.
Chu Qianli carefully observed the cylinder and found a mechanism on top that could be operated by stepping on it. She thought, "It seems that I have to step on it in a certain order."
It was pitch black and completely silent under the column. No one knew the consequences of falling, and it seemed very dangerous.
Liu Jun wanted to volunteer, but was stopped by Abner.
Abner: "The pattern here is not very obvious. If you don't know it well enough, you might step on the wrong one by mistake."
Liu Jun could understand Taoism, but he was not good at Western mysticism.
Chu Qianli suggested: "We can have multiple people operate it with safety ropes tied to them. If the three columns are far apart, we can find three people. This way it won't be that dangerous. I'll be one, Abner will be one, and then..."
Chu Qianli scanned the team, looking for someone familiar with astrology, but saw Tan Muxing raise his hand and said, "Let me do it."
Chu Qianli was stunned.
Tan Muxing looked at the patterns on the path and said, "Does this correspond to the tarot cards? I seem to have an impression of this."
Chu Qianli once gave him a Fool card, and he later read a lot of Tarot knowledge. Although he did not use it for fortune-telling, he gained some understanding of the cultural background.
"That's enough," Abner said. "One for each of the three of us."
The three of them were fully armed with the help of the people around them. Liu Jun checked their safety ropes before letting them walk onto the three columns.
Chu Qianli stepped carefully onto the balance pillar. Although she was wearing a safety rope, she couldn't help but shiver subconsciously when she felt the cool breeze blowing up from below. She tried to focus on cracking the mechanism.
There are corresponding mechanisms on the three stone pillars and twenty-two paths. The key now is how to find the correct order.
Chu Qianli walked straight to the end of the Pillar of Balance, stepped on the first mechanism first, and then used the Baby Stone Tarot to take a position. She looked at the Wheel of Fortune in her hand and said, "Xingxing, please walk to the middle of the column first, then take a step back and step on the mechanism in the middle path."
Tan Muxing stood on the Pillar of Mercy. He did as she said and stepped on the button with the mysterious letters on it.
The next second, the balance pillar where Chu Qianli was located sank with a loud bang, and was suddenly much lower than the other two, causing panic looks from the people around.
Chu Qianli calmed down and said, "Nothing went wrong, it's just that the mechanism seems to be triggered by the cards."
The Wheel of Fortune represents the ups and downs of life, which is externalized in the ruins as a balance column pointing downward.
Chu Qianli continued to work. She looked at the queen in her hand and said, "Xingxing, it's still you. Please move from this position to the Pillar of Majesty."
Tan Muxing did as he was told and walked across Path 14. The three columns did not change.
"Abner, please move from Route 27 to the Pillar of Mercy."
Abner was very familiar with the structure of the Tree of Life. He followed Chu Qianli's instructions and stepped onto the empty Pillar of Mercy. As soon as his front foot stepped onto the Pillar of Mercy, the Pillar of Majesty behind him slowly sank and reached a level with the Balance Pillar.
Abner stood above, looking down at the two people below, and said with a smile: "Now I am the tallest..."
Just as he finished speaking, there was a loud noise in front of him. The mountain wall on the side exploded violently, like a ball of lightning that suddenly fell. Debris flew everywhere and the smell of chemical materials hit his nose!
Liu Jun was shocked: "What's going on!?"
Countless smoke and dust dissipated, and debris fell from the balance column and the majestic column, but the two people on the column were safe and sound. If the majestic column had not been lowered first, it would have been affected by the explosion!
Chu Qianli waved away the dust with his hands and coughed violently, "It's a tower. I didn't expect it to be so powerful..."
Path 27 of the Tree of Life corresponds to the Tower in the Tarot card, which represents unexpected and unacceptable changes. The card image shows lightning striking the tower and people falling from the collapsed tower.
If Chu Qianli got the order wrong, I'm afraid both she and Tan Muxing would be blown away!
"If you sink any deeper, we won't be able to see you."
Chu Qianli stood on the balance column and Tan Muxing stood on the majestic column. They had already descended a lot compared to the beginning and began to approach the deep and dark ravine, out of the sight of Liu Jun and others.
"There's no way to stop now. If the order is correct, there shouldn't be any danger."
Chu Qianli has now figured out the common characteristics of the key placement points. The builders will leave a safe zone. As long as they crack the ruins step by step, they will basically not encounter any accidents.
The exploration continues.
Chu Qianli looked at the priestess and justice in her hands. She took two steps forward and came to the Pillar of Majesty, a few steps away from Tan Muxing.
The Pillar of Mercy where Abner was was slowly falling down. He steadied himself and said helplessly, "Very good, I am coming down too."
The three columns sank one after another, and no one knew where they were going to take them. They couldn't even see the expressions of Liu Jun and others at the edge of the ditch, and could only rely on communication equipment to communicate with them.
On the other side, on the hillside covered with light snow, Lin saw the heavily guarded tunnel entrance not far away. He waved his hand expressionlessly, indicating that the operation had officially begun.
There were people patrolling the tunnel entrance all the time, but soon something strange happened.
The H country soldiers, armed with guns and in uniform, suddenly opened fire on those around them, ruthlessly pointing their guns at their former colleagues.
Many people didn't react in time, and blood flowers bloomed in an instant.
Pan Yicheng was originally staying outside. Facing the sudden commotion, he immediately said, "Hurry up and inform Liu Jun, and let them retreat first!"
Someone in the H country team was suddenly backstabbed, and strangers immediately surrounded the tunnel entrance, foreshadowing the beginning of a conflict.
Gunshots rang out and a gunfight broke out.
The Chinese personnel now don’t dare to trust outsiders at all. Fortunately, their uniforms are different from others, so they try to tear a hole in the melee!
"Don't waste time fighting, find the key first!" Lin led his men to rush in. He looked for Chu Qianli with a gun in hand, wanting to take the Tarot Cards for himself. He didn't care about getting entangled with the people at the entrance of the tunnel.
The murderous intent outside spread into the ravine.
In the communication device, Liu Jun said anxiously: "Don't come up yet, stand still and wait!"
Abner looked confused: "What do you mean? What happened?"
In the device, Liu Jun's voice was mixed with noisy muffled sounds and gunshots. It seemed that a fierce battle broke out at the edge of the ravine, but it could not be directly transmitted to the silent ravine. Only some sounds could be sent through the communication equipment.
The three of them stepped on the columns and slowly descended. Now they could no longer hear the chaos above with their naked ears. They arrived in the deep darkness, and Chu Qianli was at the very bottom.
Now, from top to bottom, they are Abner on the Pillar of Mercy, Tan Muxing on the Pillar of Balance, and Chu Qianli on the Pillar of Majesty.
"Xingxing, what's wrong?"
Chu Qianli was too close to the ravine. She could only hear Tan Muxing's voice and couldn't even catch Abner's words.
Tan Muxing also couldn't see the scene, and he looked suspicious: "It seems like someone broke in."
"Then we have to speed up the process. They must be here to steal the key. We'd better finish the sixth one now!"
Chu Qianli moved swiftly, allowing the three cylinders to fall continuously, trying to complete this mechanism.
The Death card and the Devil card caused violent explosions one after another.
Fortunately, the three of them followed the correct order and always stood in the safe zone.
At the edge of the ravine, Lin started a chaotic gunfight with Liu Jun and others, but when they didn't see Chu Qianli for a long time, they couldn't help but feel suspicious.
Amid the hail of bullets, a woman pulled down her mask, revealing a familiar gypsy face, and shouted, "She's not here, follow me!"
Lin was skeptical: "You..."
"Just because I'm lazy in the selection doesn't mean I can't get the right pick!" Lilith was hiding something during the initial screening. She was concentrating on the key, and she actually had a high level of metaphysics.
"If you don't want to believe me now, just wait until the ruins are opened." Lilith turned and left the battlefield, saying coldly, "She will be finished soon."
Lin decisively said: "Follow her!"
In the ravine, the three columns were still sinking. When the three men looked up, they could only see a small light.
The Pillar of Mercy came to a steady stop, making a dull sound, as if it had been stuck in a slot.
Abner stood on the Pillar of Mercy. He checked the area around him and said tentatively, "It seems that I can't move this one."
There is a descending track at the top of the column, and the Column of Mercy has reached the bottom.
"Because there aren't many left."
Chu Qianli and Tan Muxing were now standing on the balance column. She stepped lightly onto the majestic column, and saw the balance column and the majestic column fall at the same time.
After a moment, the balance column also made a muffled sound and was inserted into the slot intact.
Tan Muxing: "Mine has also reached the bottom."
"Now we are still two short!" Chu Qianli realized that victory was in sight, and she continued to take the spoils happily. Unexpectedly, she turned over a Hanged Man, and her face changed slightly.
The Hanged Man represents giving up what you have and accepting the test, so that you can do what you should do in this life.
What does she have now?
Chu Qianli stood on the Majestic Pillar and looked at Tan Muxing subconsciously.
Tan Muxing looked back at her in confusion. He looked at the tarot cards in her hand and asked, "Is it almost over?"
"Well, after stepping on this one, there is one left." Chu Qianli hesitated for a moment, then she slowly stepped on the Hanged Man corresponding to Path 23 and said with a smile, "Star."
"What's the matter?"
"……thank you."
Thank you for walking so far with me.
The next moment, the Majestic Pillar carried her down continuously, as if falling into an endless abyss, causing Tan Muxing to panic for no reason.
He quickly leaned his head to look for her, but the darkness swallowed her completely, and the majestic pillar that fell seemed to have no end!
"I'm glad Xingxing came with me, so now I have no regrets."
Tan Muxing's mind suddenly flooded with her words that day, and he couldn't suppress the ominous premonition, but he was trapped on the balance column at this time and couldn't find a way to leave.
It was quiet all around.
The Majestic Column is still falling.
This time it took longer than the previous ones, as if it was taking her to the darkest hell.
Tick-tick, tick-tick. There is a faint sound of water.
The Majestic Pillar finally reached the bottom, and Chu Qianli even untied the safety rope halfway, otherwise there would be no way for him to get down.
Before she could steady herself and check the surrounding situation, she felt the mountain wall on the side suddenly explode, a scorching hot wave came over, and countless people rushed in!
Lilith ordered Lin's men to blast open the mountain wall and forcibly create a passage in the ruins. She waved and smiled, "Surprise!"
Chu Qianli faced the group of people holding guns and with unfriendly faces, and said calmly: "Sorry, I only understand Chainis."
Lilith was looking for Chu Qianli's traces, so they did not hesitate to destroy the interior of the ruins, just to grab the key before the other party finished the work. Fortunately, the time was just right, and the sixth bead did not fall, so they caught the target!
Everyone is targeting Chu Qianli who is alone on the Majestic Pillar!
Lin pointed his gun at Chu Qianli, a hint of coldness flashed across his eyes, and he whispered, "You seem very calm, which is quite surprising."
He originally expected to see Chu Qianli panic-stricken and at a loss, but now she was much calmer than other people of her age, even indifferent.
"Because to be honest, I had a hunch about this." Chu Qianli said, "I'm quite surprised that you guys can actually cooperate."
Lilith was once caught stealing a crystal ball, and now she has teamed up with Lin. Country A is really wavering.
Lilith threatened with a cold tone, "I didn't settle with you for what happened last time, but today it's finally your turn. Hand over the key honestly. If you cooperate well, I can guarantee your personal safety for the sake of your ability, just like I did for Joe."
"I know you are completely helpless without your bodyguards and can't do anything." Lilith smiled, "It's not easy to find the moment when you separated."
"He's not my bodyguard." Chu Qianli corrected seriously, "He's my star."
Lin's face darkened: "Stop talking nonsense! Hand over the key now, or we will shoot you!"
Countless cold gun muzzles were pointed at Chu Qianli, leaving her with no way to avoid or retreat.
Chu Qianli calmly scanned the fully armed enemy, then sneered softly, which inexplicably contained some sarcasm.
"What does this mean?" Lin's eyes turned cold.
"I think you guys are very interesting. You actually come to catch me now." Chu Qianli glanced at Route 31 in front of him and said calmly, "Do you know what I'm most worried about these two days?"
"I'm so afraid that Xingxing will always follow me. If I die in front of him, I'll be completely finished." She said with her eyes lowered.
When Chu Qianli placed the compass, she once took a look under the aurora.
She told Tan Muxing that the focus of fortune-telling is on the process, but to put it another way, it could mean that the results are invisible, or that she has no results.
No result means the end, the end of everything, everything returns to zero.
The Baby Stone Ruins is a place with extremely strong karma, far more than any ordinary Feng Shui treasure land. With her fate, coming here is either to change her fate or to die here, which can be said to be a narrow escape from death.
"Now I am very grateful to the broken pillar for not losing the chain at the critical moment and separating the two of us." Chu Qianli smiled, "Do you know where we are standing? According to theism, this is the end of the tree of life. Only the last person to break through can succeed on the road to eternal life."
"Each of us is born with sin. Only by accepting judgment and reflecting on our past actions can we reach a new level."
Chu Qianli clenched the stone in her hand, which she had just picked up accidentally. Route 31 corresponds to the judgment card, but she didn't have time to rush over and step on the mechanism, so she couldn't reach the safe zone.
She wasn't sure if the explosion would fall on her.
If the sixth bead falls, even if the tarot key is lost, Meiru Z and Xu Zaiyuan may be able to figure out the secret of the seventh bead.
Lilith sensed her intention to perish together with her, and said hurriedly: "We can definitely cooperate. Don't you want to live?!"
Lilith was afraid that Chu Qianli would risk her life. Whether the sixth bead was completed or the key was lost in the chaos, it would be a fatal blow to them.
"To live?" Chu Qianli curled his lips and said mockingly, "I want to, I want to so badly, I want to live more than anyone else..."
She had been pursuing this for so long that she even felt a little tired.

Because she wanted to live so badly, she occasionally burst into resentment. Why was it so easy for others? Those who couldn't see their own fate could live a long life, but she had to suffer this for no reason?
If everyone has a life goal, is her goal to accept death?
Everyone has a dark side, she has thought about it more than once, so let it be.
She is not that important. Her short life does not matter. The world can go on just as well without her. Why must we pursue a result that has no end in sight?
If it weren't for the spirit of astrology binding her, if it weren't for the stars accompanying her without regrets, she would have given up long ago.
The rock hit the judging card accurately, and then the surrounding mountain walls exploded with a loud noise. Countless flames exploded at the same time, which was far more powerful than other cards!
Mortals do not have the power to judge; only God can judge impartially.
"What's wrong!?"
The others were terrified by the successive explosions and had no idea what was going on here.
Several fire dragons fell from the sky, leaving charred marks as they swept across the mountain wall. Heat waves surged in, almost knocking everyone over!
The silent ravine suddenly became like a purgatory on earth, with blinding flames spreading upwards, mercilessly
