Although her eyes were slightly closed, her appearance was exactly the same as Ling Shuang's.
However, the hair ornaments on her head, the expression between her eyebrows, and the aura she exuded were completely different from Ling Shuang's.
"Who is Ling Shuang?"
Old Lord Taishang asked curiously.
Luo Zheng told him about Ling Shuang's origin and how she disappeared.
Old Lord Taishang pondered for a while. "So, I'm afraid it's not a coincidence …"
It was not rare for women in the world to look exactly the same. The key was that Ling Shuang's origin was very mysterious. She probably had a lot to do with the woman on the throne.
Unfortunately, Ling Shuang was nowhere to be seen. It was difficult to verify the relationship between the two.
After retreating from the fork, Luo Zheng returned to the fork and chose the ice gate in the middle.
When Luo Zheng touched the ice gate, an extremely heavy feeling was transmitted to his hand.
"This gate is so heavy …"
Luo Zheng remembered what Phoenix said.
Pouring the water of the sea into the Cold Prison would only result in a piece of solid ice the size of a thumb.
It was unknown how much water was used to condense this ice gate …
However, Luo Zheng's strength was not what it used to be. He placed his hands on the ice gate and the strength in his arms burst out fiercely.
The pure aura of strength surged around Luo Zheng. The aftermath of the aura had a terrible destructive power. It was like a whip, whipping the surrounding ground and leaving marks.
"Open!"
"Boom, boom, boom …"
The ice gate kept rubbing against the ground and opened up a fist-sized gap.
A gap.
Just as Luo Zheng was about to push the gate with more strength, a hand reached out from the gap and clasped the side of the ice gate. It gently pulled inwards. The gate opened …
It was a stooped old man with only one eye. His skin was deathly grey, without a trace of vitality.
Luo Zheng took two steps back reflexively. On one hand, he was surprised that there was a living person inside. On the other hand, the old man opened the ice gate so easily. His strength was too great.
After the old man opened the gate, he only looked at Luo Zheng for a moment before turning to leave.
"Senior …" Luo Zheng called out from behind.
The old man turned a deaf ear to him and left on his own.
Behind the ice sculpture door was a wide circular ice palace, and inside the ice palace, there were many "corporeal bodies" lying around. These corporeal bodies were the same as the corporeal bodies of the human spirits outside, they were not dead objects, but they had all lost their souls.
The old man picked up one of the corpses on the ground and placed it on an ice platform in the middle of the room. Then, he began to carefully clean it.
The body seemed to have been stored for a long time and was covered with a layer of brown dust.
The old man held a horsetail whisk in his hand and cleaned the dust on the body bit by bit. Then, he put the body down on the ice platform and replaced it with another body.
"Senior, why are you cleaning these things …" Luo Zheng asked again.
However, the old man still didn't answer Luo Zheng's question. He just worked like a machine.
"Luo Zheng, go and check if this old man has a soul in his head," Taishang Laojun suggested.
"Isn't that too rude …"
Luo Zheng was a little hesitant, but on second thought, he understood Taishang Laojun's meaning. He reached out and pressed the old man's forehead.
The old man didn't get angry, nor did he resist.
The moment Luo Zheng pressed the forehead, he felt a treacherous aura. This treacherous aura was very strong, and Luo Zheng felt very uncomfortable. He was completely enveloped by this extremely unpleasant emotion.
"There is a soul … No, it's a treacherous body, and it's a treacherous body that hasn't been awakened," Luo Zheng said.
"Sure enough, it's a kind treacherous body." Taishang Laojun was right.
Many treacherous bodies had obsessions. Before they met the conditions for awakening, they would always act according to their obsessions.
Some kind treacherous bodies wouldn't be extremely vicious, but would constantly repeat the same thing.
This old man was obviously such a kind. As long as Luo Zheng didn't stop the old man from cleaning the corporeal bodies, the old man wouldn't attack him.
He cleaned the corporeal bodies over and over again, and then placed them neatly one by one.
Presumably, the human spirits piled up neatly outside were all the old man's masterpieces.
"He can't respond to us without awakening …" Luo Zheng was a little depressed.
It wasn't easy to awaken a treacherous body. Back in the Wailing Path, "Tian Chuan" had been held hostage all the way to the Clear Sky Platform.
It was unrealistic to awaken the old man in a short time. They could only look for other clues.
After Luo Zheng passed through the scattered corporeal bodies, he came to the innermost layer of the Ice Palace, where there was a door.
When Luo Zheng approached, the old man suddenly turned around and sang rhythmically.
"He spoke!"
Luo Zheng turned around abruptly.
The old man tilted his head and looked at Luo Zheng, opening his mouth and saying something.
Luo Zheng quickly activated the core of the Heaven's Executor and began to decipher the old man's Sanskrit.
After a while …
The core of the Heaven's Executor passed the old man's words to Luo Zheng.
"That's the master's room. You can't go … It's very dangerous there. You'll have to face the master's anger …"
The old man repeated this sentence over and over again.
That wasn't something that could be said logically. It was more like a mechanical prompt.
Luo Zheng asked tentatively, "Who is the master?"
The singing team in his inner world began to work, helping Luo Zheng to sing.
"It's our king, Master Ku Shu …" The old man still said in a numb voice.
Hearing this sentence, Luo Zheng and Old Lord Taishang's heart beat wildly.
Finding the Ku Shu was the biggest goal of this trip. This sentence meant that they had succeeded more than half.
"How do you know it's dangerous?
Have you been there? "
Luo Zheng asked again.
The old man shook his head, "I haven't been there, but Sin has been there and died there …"
"Sin …"
"The Spirit Snake King?
Died there? "
Luo Zheng was surprised again.
If the door of the Earth Altar required the key of the Soul City, he should be the first person to enter.
But how could the Spirit Snake King enter here?
Luo Zheng told Old Lord Taishang what he had heard, and Old Lord Taishang was also lost in thought.
The old man's unintentional words made the situation very strange.
After a while, Old Lord Taishang said, "What if the Spirit Snake King already knew about the existence of this key?"
"You mean it once used the key to open the door of the Earth Altar?"
Luo Zheng asked.
Old Lord Taishang nodded, "Yes, if that's the case, then the Spirit Snake King must have wanted to get something from the Human Spirit King. Not only did it not get it, but it also failed, and even its own Treacherous Body was destroyed …"
"So the Spirit Snake King quietly put the key back into the Soul City?"
Luo Zheng said, "That's not right. The Spirit Snake King can't be so confident in me."
Old Lord Taishang thought for a while and seemed to figure it out, "The Spirit Snake King's confidence in you doesn't come from your strength, but from your identity."
"My identity?
What identity? "
Luo Zheng was a little suspicious. He thought of the Divine Blood of Origin, but even if the Spirit Snake King could predict things, it was impossible for him to predict that he would inherit the Divine Blood of Origin.
"The identity of a human," Old Lord Taishang said.
Perhaps the Bitter Tree would kill other races, and it would also kill the Shift that entered it, but it might not necessarily kill a human.
