Strongest Guard - C1485 The Only Woman in a Thousand Years
C1485 The Only Woman in a Thousand Years
There was a small hole in the ceiling above the corridor.
The hole was the size of a bowl.
This way, he could effectively prevent the people inside from escaping through the small hole while they were on their way down to deliver their food.
Shen Yun had only eaten once in the past few days.
White rice in a tube.
The rice was neither salted nor pickled. In fact, there were no chopsticks. It was just plain white rice with some clear water.
In the past, Shen Yun didn’t even bother to take a glance at this tasteless white rice.
When she was first locked up and saw that the rice had been served, she was also too lazy to look at it and too in no mood to do so.
But now, she wished that there would be rice in the hole again. She did not need to put salt, pickles or chopsticks. It was just rice and clear water.
It was a pity that until now, she was so hungry that golden stars were in front of her eyes and she couldn’t sit still. She also didn’t see any more holes open, and some rice had been sent down.
She could only curl up in the corner behind the iron gate and stare blankly at the end of the corridor.
At the end of the corridor, there was a space of tens of square meters.
More than half of it was occupied by black holes.
On the left side of the black hole was the small stage with the Iron Plate.
The never-extinguishing torch on the small platform emitted a dark red lustre that was like the will-o ‘-wisp from hell, causing people to tremble with fear.
When Shen Yun saw those frescoes and thought about the history of Shen Family becoming a family, she knew what her fate was.
She became a sacrificial object that the Shen Family sacrificed once every twelve years, towards the divine dragon.
These days, he had only given her one meal in order to empty her stomach and make her more “clean” so that she could eat more conveniently.
Until that strange cry that had woken her up from her stupor, Shen Yun still refused to believe that her grandfather, who loved her so dearly, would throw her, a female member of the Shen Family for almost a hundred years, into the Room Seven as a sacrifice of the divine dragon.
But it was true.
She was currently within the Room Seven.
In her stupor, she had already heard the divine dragon’s voice.
She suddenly widened her eyes!
The fear in her eyes had never been as strong as it was now, including the desire to live.
But where could she go?
At this moment, she was standing in an ice-cold corridor that was thirty meters long. At the end of the corridor was a black hole.
She had been starved for too long, so she didn’t have any strength left in her.
Shen Yun stared at the end of the corridor with wide eyes filled with fear. Her teeth chattered as a bolt of lightning flashed across her mind.
She finally understood.
Why was this corridor decorated in such a luxurious, smooth and clean manner?
As it turned out, this was only to make it easier for the divine dragons to capture offerings.
It was even more convenient for the Divine Dragon to use water to wash away the blood after the sacrifice.
Bang.
Bang bang.
The fear gave Shen Yun a certain amount of strength, prompting her to lift up her hand and beat against the thick metal door, screaming hoarsely, “Grandpa, grandfather, let me out! I, I don’t want to die. Grandfather, I beg you, please let my granddaughter go. ”
She didn’t see any surveillance equipment, but she knew it must be installed inside.
Ever since she was young, her grandfather, who viewed her as a pearl on his palm, was standing in front of his monitor, silently watching her as she was savagely torn apart and eaten by the approaching divine dragon.
“Why, why!?”
Shen Yun stood up and suddenly raised her head. She was facing the door at the upper left corner as she asked with a hoarse voice.
In her extreme fear, her sixth sense was also incomparably sharp, which was why she was able to detect that there should be a monitor in that place.
Shen Yun’s sixth sense was not wrong. There was indeed a monitor installed there.
Shen Mingqing stood in front of the monitor that was connected to the monitor. His thin face didn’t have any expression, it was as if he didn’t see Shen Yun and more like he didn’t hear her angry questioning.
However, Shen Cunmao, who was standing behind him, saw and heard it.
Shen Cunmao, who was usually calm in front of thousands of people, was pale and cold sweat dripped down from his forehead.
He was afraid, partly because he was infected by Shen Yun’s fear.
Secondly, he could hear the faint, terrifying scream coming from the speaker.
He was already fifty-three years old this year, but this was the first time he had seen the scene within the Room Seven.
Just like that, Shen Cunmao did not understand why his father wanted him to see this.
Could it be that he should not have waited for him to inherit the position of Han City as Patriarch before he could see these things, and know some things?
Drip.
Shen Yun, who was on the monitor, followed the metal door and slowly sat on the ground in despair. A drop of cold sweat finally fell from Shen Cunmao’s chin onto the wooden floor, making an ear-piercing sound.
Shen Mingqing finally spoke up, and without even turning his head, he asked: “Cunmao, aren’t you curious, why would I let you see the things inside the Room Seven before you inherit my position?”
“Yes, yes, Father.” I do, I do. ”
Shen Cunmao immediately bowed and replied in a slightly hoarse voice.
“Because I don’t think I’ll live long.”
Shen Mingqing said softly after being silent for a moment.
Shen Cunmao’s body suddenly trembled and he raised his head in shock: “Father, you can live for a hundred years —”
Shen Mingqing raised his hand and interrupted him: “Everyone wants to live for a hundred years, or even live forever. But since ancient times, how many people had lived to be a hundred years old? Who could live forever? We all know that life and death are the law of nature. As long as you are a normal person, you will definitely not be able to escape from this natural law. ”
Shen Cunmao was indeed worthy of being the next Patriarch of Han City. His IQ was indeed high enough, and he immediately heard the different meaning from Shen Mingqing’s words.
However, he was still somewhat unsure. He could only carefully ask, “Father, do you think that there are people that violate the laws of nature in this world?”
Shen Mingqing seemed to laugh for a bit, and lightly said: “For hundreds of thousands of years, men with Shen Family, didn’t they just do that thing, and never conform to the natural laws of nature, right?”
Shen Cunmao was stunned.
And then he understood.
Shen Mingqing had said that Shen Family men went against the natural order of things and were worthy of having their own generations. They were much larger than the average person and also had unusually strong renal functions.
How strong was he?
For thousands of years, among the women who surrounded the men from Shen Family, no one had ever betrayed them.
Just like in the Russian era, almost all the women in Moscow had been bewitched, or even driven mad by Lasp, who relied on a quarter of a centimeter worth of sleep.
But men with Shen Family were much more low-key than their old friend. They never went around to announce just how big and how good their equipment was.
The ancestors of the Shen Family were only refugees that had fled from the continent to the southern lands. Why would they obtain the favor of the princess, and from then on, create a large clan, known as the number one clan of the Han City, which would prosper forever?
Isn’t this against the laws of nature?
“Lord Father, are you saying that the legends of the Shen Family Ancestors are true?”
Shen Cunmao raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead and asked carefully.
“I suspected it when I was your age.”
Shen Mingqing slowly turned to the side and looked at his son: “Only after I become the family head did I realize that there are some things that do not conform to the laws of nature. Cunmao, once you become the family head, you can open the safe in my study. Furthermore, after the third day of the third month of every year, you can go to the Room Seven to clean up, and take a look at that Sacred Badge that has been worshipped for a thousand years. ”
The Shen Family had a sacred plate, which was placed next to the black hole in the Room Seven, Shen Cunmao knew.
He also knew that the safe in his father’s study had many secrets that only the head of the family was qualified to see.
However, he did not know why his father would speak of cleaning and cleaning so seriously.
He opened his mouth to ask, but the corner of his eye swept Shen Yun’s face through the monitor — his face turned deathly pale.
He finally understood why his father would solemnly say he was cleaning.
Wouldn’t the dragon spill its blood all over the corridor after it had eaten Shen Yun?
That was a holy land where Shen Family was flourishing, so of course they couldn’t be tainted by the tainted blood. They had to take out high-pressure water guns or something like that to wash.
It was no wonder that my father would go to the Room Seven every year after the third day of the third month.
So, he went in to clean up.
Every twelve years, on the third day of the third month, a Shen Family disciple would be sent in as a sacrifice for the divine dragon.
Similarly, on the third day of the third month of every year, the patriarch of the Shen Family would go and clean up the things that were placed in there every month after the third day of the third day of the third month of the previous year.
Shen Yun was the one who was about to be eaten by the dragon!
Today was not the third day of the third month, but it was definitely the “Year of Peace” for the disciples of Shen Family.
That was why the Divine Dragon hidden in the black hole had come today as promised.
“This is fate. Cunmao, you must remember that anyone who obtains something must pay a price. ”
Shen Mingqing walked to his son’s side and lightly patted his shoulder.
“Yes, yes.” Father, I must remember your words. ”
Shen Cunmao bowed deeply, then after bowing to his father, he couldn’t help but ask, “But your son is stupid. I still don’t understand why he would want to make such a mistake in less than twelve years. I think there’s still some credit for it.”
Without waiting for Shen Mingqing to say anything, Shen Cunmao continued, “Just because she ignored the interests of the entire Shen Family for the sake of love?”
Shen Mingqing was silent for a moment, and then said slowly: “I’m actually very supportive of the matter of Yun being in love with Duan Chuhuang. If it was only this matter, since she loved him so much, even if I wanted to fight for benefits for Shen Family, I wouldn’t sell out her love. even more so, lock her in the Room Seven. ”
“Huh?”
Shen Cunmao was shocked, he raised his head and looked at his father, and asked urgently: “Father, what exactly is the reason behind the birth of the only little princess in the last hundred years of Shen Family, to pay tribute to the divine dragon?”
“Good question.”
Shen Mingqing suddenly smiled and said, “Before I answer your question, I want to correct some of your inherent views.”
“Please advise me, Lord Father.”
“Yun Zai is not the only woman in the last hundred years of the Shen Family.”
“Huh?”
Shen Cunmao was surprised again, and blurted out: “Legends are fake? Ah, no, I mean, is the legend wrong? “Actually, our family has other direct descendants girls outside?”
Shen Mingqing shook his head: “No.”
Shen Cunmao was confused. He really didn’t understand what his father was going to say.
Shen Mingqing took a deep breath before slowly saying: “I said that Yun Zai isn’t the only female in the last hundred years because she is the only female in the thousand years that Han City has settled here.”
