Hua Qian Gu saw thousands of human tongues hanging by red threads from the ceiling. The tongues were in all conditions, all shapes, all sizes. She screamed and turned to run out but bumped into someone. This person wore a large, black cloak and a demonic mask covered his face.
"I'm not edible! I'm dirty and smelly, please don't eat me! I've walked many days without taking a bath."
Hua Qian Gu leaned sideways to sneak away, but he blocked her.
"You broke through the mystic trap, you've discovered Yi Xiu Ge's biggest secret, do you think you can leave easily?"
Hua Qian Gu wanted to cry, who would want to see a horrifying scene of human tongues hanging! She took two steps backward, using the pale sunlight on the walls, she looked down and saw the shadow of the person in front of her, thank goodness, thank goodness, not an evil spirit, not an evil spirit.
"I didn't mean it, I promise I won't say anything, I'm very forgetful, I'll forget everything as soon as I walk out of here! You must believe me!"
"Oh? I can believe you but based on what? Why should I believe you?"
"I, I, I promise! If I break my promise, I won't die peacefully!"
The person in front of her suddenly took out a knife and held it before her.
"Ah! Do you want to kill me to silence a witness?"
"Leave behind a drop of your blood."
"Huh? What?"
"Leave behind a drop of your blood."
"Just one drop, oh, that's easy." Hua Qian Gu gritted her teeth, made up her mind to prick her index finger, then squeezed out a drop of blood. It dropped into something shiny held by him.
"I can leave now, right?" On her head were human tongues, in front of her was a terrifying stranger, this was all too horrible.
"Didn't you come here to ask something? Well, you haven't asked anything but want to leave already?"
Hua Qian Gu was stunned: "You're Yi Xiu Jun?"
"Yes!" The reply was drawn out, sounding cynical. Ha Qian Gu never thought the legendary Yi Xiu Jun would look like this, but she was less scared than before.
"You like radishes?" Suddenly feeling curious, she could not help but asked.
The person coughed drily two times, Hua Qian Gu felt he was laughing behind his mask.
"This is what you want to ask me?"
"Ah no, no, there's something more important. I want to ask, I want to go up Mount Mao to study with a teacher, but I always got lost, is there a way up?"
Yi Xiu Jun thought for a moment.
"Do I need to pay for the answer? Do you want more blood? I have a lot!" Hua Qian Gu courageously rolled up her sleeves.
"This matter is simple, you don't have to pay with blood. You only need to tell me when and where you were born, the more details the better."
Hua Qian Gu frowned in bewilderment, could he be checking her origin? Letting him know should be all right so she decided to answer honestly.
Yi Xiu Jun nodded, then gave her a necklace with a pendant that was translucent like dew. Hua Qian Gu accepted the clear string that glistened like tears. A hint of blood appeared inside the pendant, which looked like a closed flower. Was this the drop of blood she just gave up?
"This......?"
"This is called Tian Shui Di, made out of phoenix tears. If you wear it, you can go up Mount Mao."
