The Secret History of Mars

Ye Qinghe thought that the review was successfully concluded. Just after finishing the curtain call with Yuan Yizhou and Cui Xingmeng, she suddenly received an encrypted consciousness message. She opened it and saw that it was from the Elders' Office without a specific signature.

’ After the meeting, they were invited to come to Bixiao Palace. '

Bixiao Palace! The place where thoughts and brains are formatted, the Xuanhu Pagoda is a secret room that only eighth-level elders of the Presbyterian Academy can enter. Wen Yuze was formatted there last time! Why does the Office of Elders want me to take Yuan Yizhou and Cui Xingmeng there? ! !

Ye Qinghe's mood swings were drowned in the noise of the crowd leaving the venue. Only Wen Yuze, who had been paying attention to her, heard it clearly.

The crowd had almost dispersed. Wen Yuze came to the corner where Ye Qinghe, Cui Xingmeng, and Yuan Yizhou were gathered. He said to Ye Qinghe emotionlessly, "I will accompany you to the Bixiao Palace. After all, you accompanied me last time, so we should reciprocate." Ye Qinghe looked deeply at Wen Yuze and said nothing.

"Bixiao Palace? What are you going there for?" Cui Xingmeng felt Ye Qinghe's uneasiness, and there was something in Wen Yuze's words, so he asked.

Wen Yuze looked at Ye Qinghe and said, "The Elders Hall just asked you to take them two there. It didn't say you couldn't tell them what Bixiao Palace does. I think it would be good for everyone to tell them earlier. Let’s discuss it together and make preparations, what do you think?”

Ye Qinghe nodded and agreed to let him continue.

"The Bixiao Palace is the highest authority on Mars and is directly governed by the Hall of Elders composed of the three major sects." Seeing Ye Qinghe nodding, Wen Yuze directly told Cui Xingmeng and Yuan Yizhou everything he knew. "The Hall of Elders is composed of three eighth-level elders of the Presbyterian House. It is a power organization that is superior to the Presbyterian House. It is composed of the three elders who have veto power."

"Elder Cang Xi from the pioneering faction, Elder Ji Xuan from the neutral faction, and Elder Banquan from the returning faction!" Cui Xingmeng muttered in response to Wen Yuze's statement.

"Yes, it is these three people who decided today's review referendum. Although on the surface your plan passed the referendum with an absolute advantage, the real final review should be completed in Bixiao Palace." Wen Wen Yu Ze deduced and analyzed.

"So I just received the encrypted message from the Elders' Hall, inviting you two to come over!" Ye Qinghe said this, and felt a lot more relaxed.

"I think this trip to Bixiao Palace should not be as simple as the final trial. You two have been to Bixiao Palace before and you don't know why?" Yuan Yizhou obviously found clues and asked.

Wen Yuze sighed softly and said, "Let me explain."

"At that time, I was deeply emotionally hurt and unable to extricate myself. I was used by Elder Ji Xuan to accept the formatting of my thoughts. This was done by Elder Bao Xi personally in Bixiao Hall." Now recalling that heart-wrenching past, Wen Yu Ze, on the other hand, was unusually calm, "The one who accompanied me to the Xuanhu Pagoda was Qinghe."

"What?! Is that the place where thoughts are formatted?!!!" Cui Xingmeng was anxious when he heard this, "Does your Council of Elders still want to format a boat?!"

"Baby, don't get excited," Yuan Yizhou squeezed Cui Xingmeng's hand soothingly, "I think it's not something as simple and crude as formatting me. Otherwise, the Elders Hall wouldn't let Qinghe take us there. , but they should use guards and police to force us to pass."

When Cui Xingmeng heard that it made sense, he was slightly comforted.

"Mars has no guards, police or troops. A civilization with eternal consciousness and shared wisdom does not need those." Ye Qinghe poured a basin of cold water down, extinguishing the little flame of hope that Cui Xingmeng had just ignited, "But once What Zhou said is not unreasonable. If the Council of Elders wants to format Yizhou's thoughts, there will be more coercive means. Unless you voluntarily be formatted, you won't be allowed to take you there." When it comes to "voluntarily" With the word "", Ye Qinghe looked at Wen Yuze with a complicated expression.

"Don't guess here, you're scaring yourself," Yuan Yizhou saw that Cui Xingmeng was a little depressed, and said to boost his morale, "It's a blessing, not a curse. It's a curse that can't be avoided. We'll know if we go over and take a look. And the Martian people , I have already seen my fiancée, even Grandpa Huangdi dares to scold me, if the Elders Hall dares to do anything to me, Xingmeng will not be able to spare them!"

Cui Xingmeng was infected by Yuan Yizhou's optimism, "Indeed, instead of guessing here, I should think about how I can protect Yizhou if they really want to come hard!" ’ Cui Xingmeng thought to himself, clenching his fists unconsciously.

Having said that, the four of them left the Grand Council Hall one after another and got on the geocentric capsule bound for the think tank.

On the way, in order to relieve the heavy atmosphere, Yuan Yizhou took the initiative to talk, "The Bixiao Palace is in the Xuanhu Pagoda, so why didn't we see it last time?"

"That's the secret room of the Hanging Pot Tower. You can't find the entrance along the spiral staircase. Last time I accompanied Yu Ze, I just sent them to the door. I don't know where I can send you this time." Ye Qinghe obviously said I have no desire to chat, so I just chat to death.

"You must have authorization from the Elders' Hall before you can enter the straight staircase leading to the Bixiao Palace. The last time I went there, I was not in a very good mood. I was looking forward to death and didn't pay much attention to its specific location. Now that I think about it, it should be in Xuanhu The top floor of the tower." Seeing that Ye Qinghe was not in the mood to chat, Wen Yuze took over and continued.

Yuan Yizhou was noncommittal, but he felt in his heart that Bixiao Palace should not be the top floor of Xuanhu Tower. Last time Yuan Yizhou and Cui Xingmeng followed Ye Qinghe to the fifth floor of the Xuanhu Tower. That floor had a hemispherical dome with light shining in from the central dome, and he had confirmed that the energy of seeds was stored under the dome. Crystal is not a holographic image but a real object. If the top floor of the Xuanhu Tower is the seed bank, then which top floor is the Bixiao Palace that Wen Yuze mentioned?

"Mr. Wen, do you still remember what happened in Bixiao Palace?" Yuan Yizhou felt that instead of just waiting for death, it would be better to get more information.

"Last time I voluntarily requested to be formatted, and I never received an invitation from the Elders Hall," Wen Yuze recalled. "After entering the Bixiao Palace, Elder Bao Xi tried to persuade me to think carefully and not to act out of emotion. , and told me a lot about formatting ideas and possible consequences.”

"What are the consequences?" Cui Xingmeng, who had adjusted his emotions at this time, also began to participate in the discussion.

"How can I remember? What's more, at that time, I even wanted to die, so I didn't care about the so-called side effects," Wen Yuze said with a bitter smile, "Then I was hypnotized, and when I woke up, I was already like this. It’s the clear state of sadness without joy!”

As Wen Yuze spoke, he fondled a yellow crystal men's ring on the middle finger of his left hand, "I still have this ring. Elder Bao Xi has repeatedly told me not to leave it!"
