Chapter 130 The Key

I knew that my contest with the Samsara Department had begun again.

The beginning of this game was the map on Ye Yang's wall.

I said, "Let's go back and see how far Ye Yang has gotten in deciphering the map."

Su Su stopped me. "Wait a minute. What did you mean when you said four ghosts entered your cell?"

I briefly recounted my encounter with the Samsara Department's subordinates. Su Su then said, "Have you considered why they would do that?"

I casually said, "To force me to escape from the main gate!"

"If you hadn't arrived in time, I could have controlled that jailer and had him open the door for me, then escaped through the main gate."

"Zhu Zining was counting on my weakness. She knew I would rather die myself than let my father be in danger."

"My only way to break the Samsara Secret Art is to escape the prison before the Blood Moon arrives and prevent my father from falling into the Samsara Secret Art."

"That's probably the gist of it!"

Su Su said at this moment, "Have you considered that Zhu Zining might want you to be the key to triggering the Samsara Secret Art?"

I turned my head sharply. "What do you mean?"

Su Su said, "The appearance of the Blood Moon can actually be divided into two types."

"One is a natural celestial phenomenon. You should know that, right?"

After I ran away from home, I had searched for the reason for the Blood Moon's appearance, but the information I found was all scientific explanations.

That is, the Blood Moon usually occurs when a total lunar eclipse appears.

The atmosphere absorbs purple, blue, green, and yellow light, leaving only red light to penetrate. The atmosphere refracts the red light onto the surface of the moon, and the Blood Moon appears.

I had also checked the records of the Blood Moon's appearance. Sometimes, the Blood Moon would appear twice in two years, and sometimes it would not appear for several years.

That was why my father couldn't calculate when the Blood Moon would appear.

Su Su nodded before saying, "In fact, the reason for the appearance of the Blood Moon is not just due to celestial phenomena. There is also a possibility that demons are born, leading to the Blood Moon in the sky. This situation is even more unpredictable."

"To put it simply, when a demon is about to be born, the demonic energy soars into the sky, and the Taiyin Star (the moon) resonates with the demonic energy, transforming into a Blood Moon to warn the world."

"Or rather, on the eve of a major upheaval in the world, the baleful aura generated between heaven and earth can also stain the bright moon with blood."

Su Su was afraid that I wouldn't understand, so she explained, "All religions in the world have such records."

"Taoism says that the Blood Moon indicates that the righteous energy of the human world is weak, the evil energy is strong, the grievances are strong, and the baleful aura is strong."

"Buddhism believes that the Blood Moon foreshadows disaster. When the Blood Moon appears, demons will surely emerge."

"The European Holy See believes that the Blood Moon will awaken dark magic and release Satan."

"In fact, the Blood Moon mentioned in religion is not a natural celestial phenomenon, but a warning."

I couldn't help but be stunned. "You mean, the Blood Moon won't naturally appear outside the prison? If the Samsara Department wants to complete the secret technique, they need a demon to be born and use demonic energy to collide with the Taiyin, creating a Blood Moon in the sky."

Su Su nodded. "Yes, that's what I mean. The Samsara Department doesn't understand celestial phenomena, but they know what's hidden beneath the prison."

"If you open the restriction below the prison and release the sealed demon, the Blood Moon will appear."

"At that time, when Senior Li comes to save you, he will not only encounter the Blood Moon, but also a peerless fierce demon. This is the most consistent with the situation back then."

Su Su's words made me feel cold.

My previous judgment was that Yu Qingzhu had destroyed the Samsara Secret Art, so I didn't think about it in greater depth.

Now, Su Su's words made sense.

I wasn't sure whether Yu Qingzhu didn't know that Zhu Zining had another ambush, or whether he had made other arrangements.

I couldn't put all my hopes on Yu Qingzhu.

Su Su saw that my face was not right and quickly said, "I'm just guessing, it's just for your reference."

I waved my hand. "Maybe your guess is right. Let's take it one step at a time! Standing here and not moving, you'll never see the truth. Let's go."

When I returned to my cell, Ye Yang was still sitting there, not moving.

I didn't disturb Ye Yang. Instead, I walked to the door of the opposite cell and knocked twice. "How do I address the friend inside?"

The man laughed. "I've lived a long life, what's with the address? Just call me Old Bones! Anyway, all I have left now is a pile of bones."

The man was obviously wary of me.

However, that's how people in the martial world are. Examples of meeting and baring one's heart are rare. Mutual wariness is the norm.

I said, "Old Bones, you probably guessed my purpose. I won't beat around the bush with you. I want to get out of this prison, so I need someone familiar with the prison to guide me."

"How much can you help me? What are your requirements? Feel free to speak your mind!"

"If both parties are satisfied with each other's conditions, we can establish a contract as a guarantee. What do you think?"

Old Bones chuckled. "I don't think so!"
