Under the arrangement of the emperor, Yun Che and Wu Ling received the assistance of the palace guards and began a further investigation around the palace.
As their investigation into the unusual events at the palace deepened, they discovered that the black crystal ball that had previously destroyed the basement did not reduce the occurrence of mysterious events.
On the contrary, the strange occurrences in the palace became more frequent, especially the consecutive disappearances of palace maids, shrouding the entire court in fear.
The night grew deeper, and in the deep corridors of the palace, two young palace maids, Liu Yao and Hua Jin, were whispering to each other.
The candlelight in the corridor flickered, casting long shadows and adding to the already gloomy atmosphere.
Liu Yao trembled slightly and said, " Hua Jin, have you heard that many palace maids have mysteriously disappeared from the palace recently?" Her voice was filled with fear.
Hua Jin looked around and replied in a low voice, "I've heard too. Everyone says that there are demons in the palace. These days, I dare not walk alone at night."
The two continued forward, and suddenly several candles in the corridor went out, plunging the surroundings into dimness. Liu Yao exclaimed and tightly grabbed Hua Jin's hand.
"Don't be afraid, Liu Yao, let's hurry," Hua Jin tried to remain calm, but her voice involuntarily trembled.
At that moment, a distant, deep singing could be heard. The voice was ethereal and mournful, yet carried a hint of ominous foreboding. The two stopped in their tracks, looked at each other in disbelief, and listened to the mysterious singing.
"Wh-who is singing?" Liu Yao asked, trembling.
Hua Jin was filled with panic in her eyes: "I don't know, but we'd better leave here quickly."
They quickened their pace, trying to leave this gloomy corridor. Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed quickly from the end of the corridor. Hua Jin exclaimed and pointed at the shadow: "Did you... did you see that? What was that?"
Liu Yao also saw the fleeting black shadow and her face turned pale: "I... I don't know, could it be the ghosts of those missing palace maids?"
"Don't talk nonsense!" Hua Jin's voice trembled in fear, "We need to quickly inform the eunuch, there might really be something unclean here."
They continued to move forward quickly, only to find that the corridor seemed to become endless, growing longer as they walked. At this moment, the doors on both sides of the corridor suddenly opened and closed automatically, emitting a piercing creaking sound.
Liu Yao almost cried out, "Have we... have we walked into the gates of hell?"
Hua Jin gritted her teeth and said firmly, "Don't be afraid, Liu Yao, we will definitely find a way out."
At the end of the corridor, a faint light finally appeared, and the two hurried towards it. When they finally ran out of the corridor and arrived at a spacious courtyard, they found a huge bronze cauldron in the center of the courtyard, emitting a cold green flame.
Hua Jin exclaimed in surprise, "What... what is this? I have never seen anything like this in the palace before."
Liu Yao's eyes were filled with fear, "Could this be a sacrificial tripod? There have been many strange occurrences in the palace recently, haven't there?"
The two were hesitating whether to approach and take a closer look, when suddenly they heard footsteps behind them. They turned around in alarm, only to see a haggard-looking eunuch hurrying towards them.
"What are you two palace maids doing here?" The eunuch's voice was stern and indifferent.
Liu Yao stammered, "We... we were just patrolling the palace and accidentally ended up here."
The eunuch's eyes flashed with a hint of suspicion, "Patrolling? Alright, but you'd better not linger here for too long. The palace has been unsettled recently."
Hua Jin couldn't help but ask, "Eunuch, do you know why there have been so many strange occurrences in the palace recently?"
The eunuch suddenly turned around, a strange smile on his face. "Strange occurrences? Oh, those are just insignificant little matters. You all just need to focus on your own work."
After speaking, the eunuch quickly left, leaving Liu Yao and Hua Jin standing in the courtyard, filled with doubt and fear in their hearts.
Liu Yao and Hua Jin stared at the huge bronze cauldron, only to see wisps of smoke rising from the cauldron, gradually condensing into the outline of a handsome man. The man's figure was hazy and mysterious, as if from another world. He slowly beckoned to the two palace maids, as if inviting them to approach.
Liu Yao was deeply puzzled by the scene before her, her heart filled with curiosity and amazement, forgetting all about the unusualness of it all. She walked unsteadily forward, reaching out her hand to touch the enchanting image.
Hua Jin was also drawn in by the strange sight before her, her alertness replaced by confusion as she too walked forward. In her eyes, the man's image seemed to be filled with magic, guiding them towards unknown territory.
The man in the image looked at the two palace maids, a mysterious smile playing at the corner of his mouth, and said softly, "Come, come to my side. Here, you will discover a wonderful world in the palace that you have never seen before."
Liu Yao and Hua Jin seemed to be deeply entranced. Their hearts were filled with a longing for the unknown, and they felt themselves drawn closer to the image of the man before them.
Liu Yao and Hua Jin were approaching the enchanting image unsteadily when suddenly a figure appeared behind them like the wind. The palace maid moved swiftly and precisely, her palm lightly brushing through the air, emitting a deep inner strength.
In an instant, the male figure formed by the wisps of smoke began to distort, gradually dissipating into the air, like ink blown away by the wind, instantly becoming formless. The palace maid's movements appeared extremely skillful, as if she had honed such techniques through countless practices.
Liu Yao and Hua Jin were stunned by this sudden change, their faces filled with fear and confusion. The man's image, which had seemed so real just moments ago, dissipated like smoke, leaving the two of them questioning whether they had seen it wrong.
