035. Palace of Resentment
Don't stay in the city, hate the palace.
In the middle of this large and bustling commercial city stands a huge city within a city.
The huge castle rose from the ground, and the two main rivers that passed through the city converged in the palace of the palace of the Remnant Palace, and then went their separate ways.
It would seem that this huge and luxurious palace, with its eaves inlaid with precious jade and gold carvings, is more like a valve.
A valve that controls the water supply of the entire city.
It is also a valve that can control all the gold and silver fortunes.
At this moment, at the top of the Palace of Resentment, two maids lifted the curtains. An elderly general-dressed man at the back quickly entered, stepping into the chamber, which was decorated with gold wood floors and filled with strong incense. And around this splendid palace, there are many young girls in their twenties. They lit lamps, drank tea, played chess, or read books. Seeing the general enter, the girls turned their heads and looked at him with a smile.
"The Lord of the Enlightened City. ”
The old general did not dare to look up at the beautiful girls around him, and knelt respectfully facing the front, and the direction in which he knelt was a gauze curtain. There was a vague figure behind the curtain, but it did not distinguish between men and women.
"General He, what is it that makes you so excited to come and ask to see the deity? Didn't I say that? At present, I am preparing to build a hall of pleasure for the four princesses, and I don't have time to take care of these messy trivial matters. ”
General Ho's head was lowered. However, he still said very respectfully: "Back to the city lord, last night in a ruined temple in the north of the city, there was an incident of beggars fighting and killing each other. ”
"Is it necessary to report to me a group of beggars who are fighting each other because of the uneven distribution of accounts, and at most a few lives?"
The voice behind the muslin curtain seemed a little indifferent, with a little impatience.
In this regard, General He hurriedly quickened his speech and said loudly-
"If it's just a beggar's fight, there's really nothing wrong with that. However, we found the body of a beggar in it. The state of his death...... The subordinates felt that it was better to let the city lord see it with his own eyes. ”
After a moment of silence, General He saw that the city lord behind the curtain did not object, and immediately clapped his hands.
Soon, four soldiers carried a stretcher up the golden hall. As soon as it was lifted, the stench of the gutter immediately spread throughout the hall, so that some of the beautiful maids who were resting, lighting the lamps, and tasting wine in the hall couldn't help but hide their faces.
"Presumptuous!"
The soldiers who heard the sound hurriedly knelt down, not even daring to make a sound!
General He, who was at the forefront, hurriedly surrendered his hand, and continued to respond under the pressure from the front-
"The cause of this beggar's death is really ...... It's really weird! It's hot and hot weather, and this person died late last night, and it's been more than ten hours now. It stands to reason that the corpse should have begun to decompose a long time ago......! But there was no sign of deterioration in his body......! So ......"
After saying so much in a row, the general finally closed his mouth as if he was a little frightened, and did not dare to speak anymore.
He and the four soldiers behind him just bowed their heads and knelt, not daring to lift up at all.
Long...... After a long time.
Although the girls around were still hiding their faces, the voice behind the curtain seemed much calmer: "General He." You say, for what? ”
"Yes!"
Hearing this voice, General He was like an initiation, and his face hurriedly showed a color of joy!
"When I returned to the city lord, my subordinates examined the beggar's body, but his heart was severely frozen! These stiff conditions began from the heart and spread along the blood vessels to the beggar's limbs, freezing all his internal organs and blood vessels! And these freezes ...... Even in this kind of hot weather, it can still be maintained for a long time!"
Next, this General He doesn't need to say any more.
Because he had his head down, he had already heard the sound of the curtain shaking in front of him.
Immediately afterwards, a sound of slow footsteps came from the front, and at the same time, there was a soul-stirring fragrance......
Footsteps, paragraphs.
He crossed over to General Ho and stopped next to the beggar's body behind him.
At this time, the voice of a maid came from the side: "City Lord, this thing is filthy and dirty, and the small heart has the eyes of the City Lord." ”
"It's okay, don't worry. ”
After that, there was a burst of silence.
General He lowered his head and didn't even dare to look up.
He gritted his teeth, not knowing what he should do now, and whether he could still have a life?
This kind of waiting is like a long wait before being escorted to the execution ground, it is simply the most torturous torment!
"Fighting the Ghost Dao Dual-Type Mind Body - Frost. Even among the dimorphic minds, which are very rare in themselves, they are very rare. Like the wind in the north, it was really cold, and it was really cold to the extreme. ”
Finally, the city lord's footsteps began to move again. And General He waited until the curtain in front of him trembled a little again, then he raised his head tremblingly and exhaled.
"Back to the city lord, a month ago, Fang Ji, the master of the Canglan Gate, once announced to the world that the people of the demon kingdom had appeared, and that he had slaughtered Taiping Town, which was not far away, and the power used by one of the demons was Frost Nian. So I thought...... This emissary of the Demon Kingdom may have infiltrated our country and is dormant somewhere in the city. ”
"Hmph, the demons are in the world. Those decent people in Canglanmen are really boastful. Relying on himself to be the number one sect in the world, he can kill whoever he wants, and if he wants to say who is a demon, he will say who is a demon. All demons have been sealed in the icy land of the far north thousands of years ago. How much of what they say is reliable?"
"What the lord of the city said, what the lord of the city said. ”
General He only dared to cater and did not dare to say anything more.
"But...... Previously, they almost sent more than fifty of the strongest masters in the whole sect to hunt down and kill a demon boy named Ao Lingtian, and successfully killed him. The credit is indeed not small. Although the losses were heavy, Fang Ji is now considered to have a head and a face, and he deserves to be the first in the world. A user who can make him feel the tricky Frost Mind Body...... Hum. ”
General He thought for a while, and suddenly asked boldly, "May I ask the city lord, this frost thought body...... Is it really that strong?"
The voice behind the curtain snorted and said, "Strong, indeed very strong." And the owner of this kind of mind body is also very rare. At present, according to the records of the history books, there are no more than three people who have the Frost Thought Body. However, it may also be due to the fact that more owners of the Frost Mind have never done anything prominent in their lives. Maybe more people rely on their own thoughts to make ice cubes in the summer and sell them, and then take the opportunity to make a profit. ”
"However, if it is really a head-to-head confrontation with the owner of the Frost Mind Body, then ...... A terrible thing indeed.................. Forget it, let's not talk about it. General He, go, bring me this person who uses the Frost Mind Body. I don't care what method you use. This person...... It may or may not be a big help. ”
Hearing this, General He was immediately stunned, and hurriedly said, "But...... Will the people of the Demon Clan willingly make a deal with us?"
"Heh, the demons? Why does a demon kill a beggar without doing anything? Just to kill, don't the people of the demon clan know that they want to hide their mind body as much as possible, and kill it purely with their mental power? Do they have to use their mind body to reveal their identity so much?"
These few words, General He's face was ashamed, and he couldn't say a word.
The beggar had his eyes wide open and his hands clenched into fists before he died, clearly hostile. His head was slightly lowered, and his gaze was diagonally downward, and it was clear that the enemy was much shorter than he was. Moreover, there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, it was likely that he thought he had succeeded, but he was caught off guard by the other party and killed instantly. ”
It can be seen that this beggar may not be facing a demon at all, but a person who looks very easy to bully from the outside and is of short stature. Could such a person be those demons who are generally tall and giant? Go quickly!"
General He was really awakened by a word! At that moment, he did not dare to stay here any longer, but hurriedly straightened up and asked his men to quickly carry away the beggar's body.
Just when General He was about to turn around and leave, behind the curtain, the voice of the city lord came out again-
"By the way, the journey along the river to Lu for a month is Xue Meiniang's Great Snow Mountain, this person may go to a different place, you also send someone to search there. ”
"Xue Mei Niang?"
General He was startled, and hurriedly knelt down in front of the gauze curtain again-
"But back to the city lord, although the name of this big snow mountain is soft, the environment there is too dangerous! It is covered by ice and snow all year round, and there are many fierce demon beasts! We have sent some disciples there before, but the results are all ......"
"You say so much, do you want to tell me that you can't do it?"
No matter how excited General He was, the faint voice behind the curtain was enough to make the general shut up and retreat in a panic.
It was also after these people were completely gone that the unpleasant smell in the hall was slightly reduced, so that those girls could finally stop covering their noses.
But, behind that curtain......
"Frost Thoughts...... Is it?"
The corners of the city lord's mouth curled slightly......
