Chapter 11: The Lord of the Witch Moon
"Meet His Royal Highness the Witch King!" The hoarse voice echoed in the empty palace for a long time, and the black-robed old ghost knelt on one knee, not daring to raise his head.
Dozens of dim stone lamps in the empty stone hall are lit with dim candles, and the whole palace is made of tens of thousands of white stones, but it has not undergone any carving, simple and solemn.
There is a Xiao Xiao altar in the palace, the altar is surrounded by clear water, there are several white water lilies blooming on the water surface, the pool and the altar are connected by several white stone carved water lilies, the huge dome above the head throws the white and cold moonlight, the moonlight cast in the water is reflected by the water surface with slight ripples, and the cold waves are scattered in the stone hall, so that the whole stone hall seems to sink in the blue waves.
There was silence for a long time, and the white veil on the altar was lifted by a gust of wind, and in the veil was a woman, dressed in a white robe gently attached to her body, she lay on her side on a white stone couch, and looked down at the kneeling people of His Highness.
"Do you want to see the main palace?" the witch king looked at the visitor with interest.
"Back to ......the Witch King!"
"Raise your head!" the woman on the altar turned her head away, and suddenly let out a soft snort, and there was an inexplicable oppression in the ethereal voice, which overwhelmed the person.
Under the cold mask, the face changed color slightly, and the black-robed old ghost slowly raised his head, but he was shocked by the scene in front of him, his eyes widened, and he looked at the man in disbelief.
After entering the Moon Worship Palace just now, he kept his head down, not daring to look at the palace of the master of this southern barbarian land, and he only glimpsed the furnishings in the palace from the corner of his eye.
This look shocked him incomparably—where was the moonlight falling from his head! It was clearly it, it was an incomparably huge luminite stone, embedded in the caisson in the center of the dome, emitting a faint fluorescence, bathed in the dark light and making people shudder.
He retracted his gaze and looked respectfully at the woman on the altar - just, just that one glance, which he will never forget!
Where is the legendary seventy-year-old man lying on the side of the altar, obviously a woman in her thirties, with a white and flawless face, jade bones and ice muscles, and slender legs stacked together, lying on her side on the white stone couch, through the white veil, her whole person seems to be in a sea of smoke, and the flowers are not clear in the fog, like a white lotus blooming in the fog.
"What, you're afraid that Hongu is a monster?" the witch king turned his head to look back at the visitor, a smile on his lips.
"Ah!" the black-robed old ghost blurted out, quickly retracted his gaze, and said respectfully, "The villain is just amazed at the immortal appearance of His Royal Highness the Witch King, not as ...... as the world has rumored"
"What do they say about the main palace?" The Witch King on the altar retracted a smile on his face, and there was a faint fluctuation on the altar, extremely subtle, and in an instant, a stream of spiritual power burst out, and the surrounding air quickly condensed, and then it seemed that the heavens and the earth began to shake, and the clear water in the pool trembled rapidly.
"Hahaha......" The witch king looked at the terrified black-robed old ghost, and suddenly laughed, "I know, they say that this palace is a seventy-year-old woman!"
"The years go by, the face is old, and no one escapes. This palace is indeed seventy years old this year!But those mortals, how can they know that this palace is a person favored by the moon god, how can their physical mortals compare with this palace!" In an instant, the suffocating aura of the oppressed person disappeared without a trace.
"Old ghost!" the Witch King yawned, and she covered her mouth with her white hand like congealed cream, and for a moment, she was so beautiful, and then she continued, "You are far worse than your leader! ”
"Tell me, why did that person send you this time?" the Witch King said indifferently, "Could it be that he has figured it out and is willing to marry us Xuewei?"
"Returning to His Royal Highness the Witch King, I came here this time to send God to the fourteen counties in the south of the country on the order of the chief, and I came to send God to the fourteen counties in the south of the country......" Before he finished speaking, he felt that there was a fierce murderous aura in the depths of the stone corridor, and the black-robed old ghost suddenly flashed, turning into an afterimage, and in an instant, a white light passed through his body.
In the snap of his fingers, the dark afterimage condensed again, and in the black shadow was a man in a black robe, the black shadow dispersed, and he stood in place unharmed.
"Hmph" A cold snort, there was a cold figure above the main hall, her white coat fluttering, her sleeves swinging without wind, and said coldly: "It is easy to ask for priceless treasures, and it is rare to have a heart." ”
"The villain has no intention of annoying the priest!" The black-robed man saw that it was her, he first shook his head, and then said in a low voice, "If there is any offense to the priest outside the hall, the villain is willing to die to apologize!"
"That's it, that's it!" the woman waved her sleeves, her back to the man, her face was full of sorrow under the 'moonlight', and she was dressed in a white coat and floated without wind, like a fairy coming out of the moon - the bright moon was in her arms, and the breeze was cold.
"Good skills!" the Witch King slapped twice, "It turns out that you attacked my northern Huanlou tribe at night, and you also planted the blame on the head of the Emperor Linguo." ”
"The villain also acts on the orders of the chief. The black-robed man immediately knelt on one knee.
"The people of the Huanlou tribe came to report: There is an emperor from the country, who is like a phantom, and attacked the clan village in the middle of the night, it turned out that you did it!" The woman in white was cold, and her murderous aura suddenly appeared, pointing at the man and asking the woman on the altar, "Grandmother, do you want Xue Wei to execute him?"
- High Priestess, Xue Wei!
"Wei'er, don't be anxious, and listen to him. "The Witch King is obviously interested in what he just said, the fourteen counties in the southern part of the Emperor's Landing Kingdom.
"Presumably the Witch King and the Priest have already heard that our Ten Nights Organization has always sought wealth, and the leader's long-cherished wish is to destroy the Emperor and rebuild a new order!"
"So, your leader wants to call himself the new emperor?" scoffed the woman on the altar.
"How dare you be delusional!" the black-robed old ghost shook his head and said, "Ten nights are asking for wealth!"
"Really?" the witch king smiled playfully, smiling and charming, "How much do you want, this palace is happy today, reward you!"
"His Royal Highness the Witch King's reward is far from enough, what we want is a wealth that can make the whole world tremble!" A cold light flashed under a cold mask, and the black-robed man's words were meaningful, "The wealth of the Emperor Linguo, we want three points for ten nights." You and I cooperate, ten nights of seeking wealth, His Royal Highness the Witch King, you have this world, isn't it!"
"How can you be sure that this palace wants this world?" The beautiful face was slightly moved.
"Presumably, His Royal Highness the Witch King already knew that the attack on Huanlou was not the work of the Emperor Linguo!" he raised his head and looked at those sharp eyes, "No matter how true you are, you can't escape your piercing eyes! Actually, you're testing the Emperor's Kingdom!"
"So, the intention of this palace has long been seen through by you?" The woman on the altar looked at this man for the first time, and she was a little surprised, it turned out that this person was far from being as simple as he appeared on the outside.
The black-robed old ghost didn't rush back, but continued to ask: "The Northern Desolate Snow Country is desolate, the Thirty-six Buddha Countries in the Western Regions are barren, the East China Sea Sky Island Country is vast, and the Southern Xinjiang Wuyue Country is barbaric. Looking at the five countries in the world, only it is the emperor of the country in the middle of the earth, the mulberry field is fertile, the people are numerous, the country is rich, the fertile fields are thousands of miles, and the savings are abundant. Who doesn't envy ?—— put such a powerful opponent here, and the Witch King can be safe under his pillow?"
The Witch King's face turned pale, he stood up, and shouted angrily, "You dare to question this palace?"
"Look for death!" Xue Wei, who was as cold as ice, took a step forward, her eyes were cold, and blood-red demon flowers suddenly bloomed on the white stone slab under her feet.
- "Flowers on the other side!" exclaimed in a hoarse voice of the black-robed old ghost, only to see the strange blood-red demon flowers that grew out of thin air on the ground, spreading wildly towards him.
The figure flashed, like a ghost dodging around, the dark afterimages in the stone hall collided with the weird blood red, and the black shadow was always one step faster, every time the weird blood light touched him, he could always flash in time, and the blood light could only touch his flashing afterimage.
In a moment, a few beads of sweat appeared on Xue Wei's forehead, and she shouted: "Where to run!" Suddenly, a red glow lingered around her, and the red aura wrapped her like a blood mist, and the air around her gradually began to heat up, and her clean and cold eyes gradually became a layer of scarlet.
Suddenly, the entire stone hall was shrouded in a blood-red flower on the other side, and the black-robed old ghost knew that he had no place to stand, and swept towards the pool that had not yet been swallowed by the flowers on the other side, Xue Wei's mouth hooked a chuckle, and with a wave of her white sleeves, countless blood-red flowers dripping with blood attacked the black shadow.
The black-robed old ghost tapped the water surface with his toes and dodged to the side, but saw that on the water surface where he had just stepped up, several blooming white water lilies were lightly touched by the demon flower, and they disappeared in an instant, quickly withered, and turned into wisps of embers.
"—This demon flower can absorb life?" the black-robed man looked startled, and muttered to himself in astonishment.
He didn't linger too long, and in the flash of light, a black shadow swept towards the altar. The woman on the altar stood there quietly, her eyes were full of contempt, her face did not change, and she was calm and calm.
"Grandmother be careful......" Before Xue Wei finished speaking, she felt that the heavens and the earth trembled, and a pressure so strong that people couldn't breathe instantly filled the whole body, making people unable to move. In the corner of his eye, he saw a black shadow being knocked out by a huge spiritual power the moment it touched the altar.
The black shadow slammed to the ground, and was instantly devoured by the flowers on the other side of the blooming land, and the demonic blood-red flowers were like greedy hungry spirits, frantically converging towards him. In the snap of his fingers, the black-robed man was wrapped like a huge flower ball.
"In the shadows, on the other side. Born to live flowers, the name of the other side of the flower. The Styx flowers bloom and die in life and death. Life and death are wrong, and the two do not see each other. Xue Wei groaned softly, showing loneliness.
A moment later.
Xue Wei only felt that something was strange, and a sense of uneasiness welled up in her heart, her "Flower of the Styx" was born today, the flowers on the other side of the past bloomed, and under the touch, everything withered, withered and decayed rapidly, but today it has not been able to swallow that person completely - is it?
Just when she was still hesitating, there was a strange movement from the flowers on the other side not far away, and in an instant, they began to quickly wither and turn into ashes, and a low and hoarse voice came: "What a dead one!"
A pitch-black figure walked out of the ashes, surrounded by a layer of black death aura, and gradually the black aura faded away, and the black-robed old ghost came from the black aura, with a few more residues on the black robe on his body.
"How is that possible!" Xue Wei's eyes widened and she exclaimed in disbelief.
"The old ghost was ordered by the leader to send God to the Witch King today in the fourteen counties of the southern land. The black-robed old ghost knelt down at the woman on the altar, the eyes under the mask were cold, and his voice was hoarse, word by word, "I'm not here to fight, no one in this world can kill me!"
"Who the hell are you?" the Witch King panicked for the first time, pointing to the man and asking, "Only the dead will not be devoured by the flowers of the other side, are you really a ghost?"
"In the next ten nights, the old ghost! It doesn't matter if it's a person or a ghost, today I came to visit the Witch King, just to send it to the fourteen counties of the Southland, if His Royal Highness the Witch King doesn't want it, then the villain will leave and no longer disturb His Highness the Witch King. He stood up and turned to leave.
Suddenly, the white shadow stopped in front of him in a flash, Xue Wei's face was pale, and there was a trace of fear in her cold pupils, staring at the black-robed old ghost in front of her without speaking.
"You can't stop me!" whispered the black-robed old ghost, "Lord Priestess, you are indeed as powerful as rumored, but your 'Flower of Styx' is indeed helpless. ”
With that, he walked towards the outside of the stone hall without looking back.
At that moment, Xue Wei seemed to be stabbed in the heart. She was cultivated by her grandmother since she was a child, and at the age of five she began to practice the "Flower of the Styx", which was called the forbidden art by the Wuyue clan, and at the age of thirteen, she singled out the entire southern frontier incognito, and was proud of the southern barbarian land with a complete victory, but today she was so easily defeated by a stranger.
"Stop!" shouted.
The Witch King sat on the stone couch, looking down at the seat, and the majesty emanating from his body made people feel a sense of solemnity - this is the master of the Southern Barbarian Land!
The woman changed her previous laziness, and her body was full of majesty and solemnity filled the entire stone hall, and under the fluorescent light of the secluded forest overhead, the whole person seemed to have come into the world.
"His Royal Highness the Witch King has thought about it?" the black-robed old ghost turned his head and looked at the woman.
"This palace accepts gifts from your chief, but you have to tell this palace what exactly do you want for ten nights?"
"The villain just said that what we want is wealth that can make the world tremble!" Under the mask, those eyes revealed endless longing and greed, which was the desire for the wealth to come, and the endless greed for money.
"Good!" the woman on the altar stood up, lifted the curtains, stepped on the stone lotus, dragged a long skirt behind her, looked at everyone, and walked towards the two of them as if she were proud of the world—at that moment, as if the world was at her feet.
In a moment.
The king of Wuyue Country walked to his side, she stretched out a hand as white as condensed fat, and spoke to the black-robed old ghost in a gentle tone: "Wuyue Country is willing to cooperate with you, and in the future, you will be friends with our Wuyue Kingdom forever!"
The black-robed old ghost also stretched out his black-gloved hand and shook it with the woman.
At this moment, no one knows what kind of disaster these two will bring to the world when they hold together.
