Chapter Seventy-Eight: Shadow Island, Ten Thousand Phoenix Palace
The air on the island is humid, the soil is fertile, the thick branches and leaves above the head form another vigorous sky, the roots of the plants on the soles of the feet are coiled, twisted with each other, occasionally a clear spring flows out of the roots, with the green and yellow of resin, although the flowers and plants are very common, but with the arrogant wildness, there is no delicacy of the land, even the insects and ants are unscrupulous, buzzing around several people.

As the two subordinates walked a mountain road, they came to an open-air and empty corridor built of white stone, the corridor was very clean, extending from the depths of the forest, and the two subordinates stood side by side on both sides of the corridor, bowed to the Dao Gong, and suddenly stopped talking, not even expression.
"At the end of the corridor, that's it." He knew that he couldn't speak clearly, and he said it slowly, and several people heard it clearly.
The corridor was originally built on a flat mountain, and then it meandered in the steep halfway up the mountainside, overlooking it, like a huge white snake in the mountains, connecting two hump-like peaks, walking for half an hour, this corridor seems to have no end meaning, Xiao Ai's legs were stiff, he looked at Ye Zongdu, saw that he was still calm and relaxed after his serious injury, and felt a little ashamed in his heart, and continued to move forward, soon, to a canyon, the corridor became a small bridge across here, filled with a cloud of water vapor, the stone walls on both sides of the canyon flowed out of the clear spring water, forming a falling white waterfall, tilting down, rattling, hitting the wall and splashing beads, the valley bottom could not be seen in the distance, walking on it, the foot is like a cloud, so that people dare not look at it again.
At the end of the corridor, a building appeared in the gap between the branches and leaves, Xiao Ai breathed a sigh of relief, decided to find a place to treat his legs and feet, walked into it and saw that it was a big flat-topped pavilion, the pavilion was built in a pond of lotus, after the pavilion, after a section of Xuanxie, to a glorious hall, a large incense burner was burned on the 100-step stone steps, more than a dozen women in Tsing Yi were meditating around the incense burner, with a solemn expression, and did not pay attention to the arrival of several people.
"What kind of place is this?" Xiao Ai couldn't help but be curious, Ye Zongju also had this question, and without waiting for Meng Zhaolin to answer, he heard a voice sounding faintly: "This is 'Absolute Shadow Island', 'Ten Thousand Phoenix Palace'!"
The voice came from the main hall, ethereal, ethereal, more than a dozen women in Tsing Yi who were originally meditating got up one by one, bowed to the main hall, retreated one after another, walked one by one, disappeared in front of them along the side of the aisle, the door of the main hall opened, and out came a woman with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and gorgeously dressed.
"Night Crow?!" Xiao Ai and Ye Zong were shocked, and couldn't help but take a step back, they had known that they would see her, but they didn't expect that she was actually the owner of this "Shadow Island", and what was especially surprised was that there was a red-clothed Hongling flying beside her, with resentful eyes!
Seeing Hong Ling, Fu Yibo and Da Po were also trembling, at this time they were in a dilemma, if they were too enthusiastic about Hong Ling, then claiming to "take refuge in the corpse king" would naturally be exposed, if they turned a blind eye to her, as a brother and sister in the same school, they were also a little unkind, Fu thought about it: "Look at the current situation, Xiao Ai and Ye Zongju are in a weak position, and Ye Zongzhu is highly poisoned, can he help himself to sit on the gang leader or a matter of nine clouds, as for Meng Zhaolin, if this person openly provokes himself to 'take refuge in the corpse king', then the time comes." ......" thought for a moment, and said overjoyed: "Senior Sister Hongling, how did you see you here, it's really a coincidence, the two of us are on the orders of the master and looking for you everywhere." β
"Oh?" Hong Ling saw the same door, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask, "My father-in-law really wants you to come to me, doesn't he hate me at all?"
Da Po opened his mouth and said: "Senior sister, Master didn't hate you, and let our brothers ......" He stopped talking, and the next sentence "I'll give you a letter" was broken in his throat.
Fu Yibo was slightly angry, and said: "Let our brother persuade you well, don't hurt your body because of this matter, if you have time, I hope you can go back to see his old man." After he finished speaking, he glanced at Xiao Ai, who knew the content of the letter.
Xiao Ai wanted to get half an antidote from Fu Yibo, so he didn't say much, but Meng Zhaolin was completely different, his triangular eyes slanted, and he glared at Fu Yibo and said: "Who swore yesterday, saying what 'good birds choose trees and perch', abandoned the Hongling Gang, and switched to the Lord of Chubao, the King of Fraudulent Corpses, and said that this girl in front of her is the 'daughter of the Fraudulent Corpse King', and she has no second thoughts, why did she come here today and see the same door, but she changed her words?"
Da Po's face turned white, and he pointed at Meng Zhaolin and shouted, "You don't want to talk nonsense!"
Fu Yibo said: "We said that yesterday, it was because you attacked your master in the Hongling Gang that day, and were beaten by our Hongling Gang, so you hold a grudge, and our senior brother is afraid that you will be blackmailed behind your back, so we just said that, intimidate you!"
Meng Zhaolin was furious: "This kid has been poisoned by me, if you have nothing to do with them, why do you help?" His fingers moved slightly, as if he was going to shoot a hidden weapon, since Weng Fu's death, he had looked for Weng Fusheng's disciples, and he also had some understanding of his hidden weapon, and even the kitchen knife made by Weng Fusheng's wife was also a fusion of mechanical techniques and hidden weapons.
"You are simply a villain, you don't inquire, which of our Hongling Gang is not a righteous gentleman, do you want us to see the villain fall for it, and we will not save it when we see death? You led us here under the pretext of an antidote!" Fu Yibo finished speaking, very happy, "But I should also thank you, not only found my junior sister, but also had the honor to see the demeanor of the island owner." He bowed to the night crow.
Meng Zhaolin was furious, such a person who reversed right and wrong was really worse than himself! Suddenly, he laughed and said, "You are not afraid of being heard by the Corpse King when you say this?"
The night crow said unhappily: "Enough! Meng Zhaolin, your words are a little too much, I didn't let you come here to bite indiscriminately!" Meng Zhaolin smiled stiffly, and replied again and again: "What the island owner said, what the island owner said." β
Xiao Ai squinted at Hongling, seeing that her appearance was no different from before, she didn't know what color her heart had become, the night crow took Bai Luo, and she didn't know how she was doing in her hands, so she said: "Since you are the owner of the island, I will not give you face when I go to your territory, I want to see someone!"
"It's a guest at the door, everything is negotiable, who are you going to meet?" After the night crow finished speaking, he suddenly hid his face and laughed in a low voice, as if he remembered a very good joke.
"What did you do to him?" little Ain smiled and shuddered.
"What can I do to him, it's better for him to follow me than to follow you, I've always loved men, what else can I do with him?" the night crow retracted his smile and reminded, "Don't forget, I took him away at the beginning, but the two of you personally agreed, and he didn't resist himself, didn't he?" β
Xiao Ai's heart sank instantly, looked at the night crow, and said word for word: "We want to see him." β
"Hahahaha...... You see that he is worse than death, but you don't have the slightest way, and you still have the face to see him, if I are you, find a place where no one is around, and cut off your own flesh with a knife to make up for this self-righteous 'affection'!" The night crow turned around abruptly and said to Hong Ling, "Take them to the side hall!"
"Wanfeng Palace" It's really big, even if it's the Fuxi Villa of Mingyue Willow, the corpse fort of Chu Chopping River, it's just a drop in the bucket here, in addition to the dozen or so women in Tsing Yi who were seen in front of the main hall at the beginning, there are more plain-clothed maids with their heads pierced, at this time Dao Gong is gone, Hong Ling led a few people to turn a bluestone path, and walked past a few cleaning maids, they saw strangers, and they didn't dare to look up, but a good-looking maid with a broom in her hand suddenly coughed, Ye Zong decided to follow the sound and looked over, his brows frowned slightly, and suddenly stretched out, his dark eyes smiled into a line, and the maid also glanced at him very boldly, and hurriedly turned around, revealing a look of surpriseγ
Fu Yibo and Da Po followed closely behind Hong Ling, "These two people will really meet the wind and rudder." Meng Zhaolin was unhappy in his heart, gritting his teeth and racking his brains to find some flaws, he remembered Ye Zongju and Xiao Ai behind him, and hated Fu Yibo and the two even more, "If they hadn't intervened in it, this stinky boy would have seen the king of Hades earlier, and this girl, for no reason, why did Fu Yibo come to the rescue, is it really for what justice, I! I, Meng Zhaolin, am smart and confused for a while, and I fell for a few dolls, this revenge will not be avenged, and I will not be a man!" The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, the white smoke in his palm rolled, and he wanted to hit it several times, but he never had a chance.
I have never seen such a luxurious side hall, the jewelry of the entire capital combined, can barely reach a pillar of pure gold casting in the main hall, not to mention that there are seventy-seven forty-nine pillars in this hall, each carved with lifelike patterns, dragons, phoenixes, unicorns, snakes, beasts....... Extending from the girders to the soles of the feet, the large chair in the most square shape is comparable to the emperor's throne, blending in with the frescoes carved on the four walls, and when connected, it looks like a raging flame.
Even the tea table placed on both sides is also the best wood, fine workmanship, shiny throughout, emitting a scorching brilliance under dozens of golden pillars, Meng Zhaolin's eyes jumped out, stretched out a hand and trembled to caress a tea table, and exclaimed: "This is a treasure, these materials are more valuable than gold, put in the soil, not only will not rot, but will also take root and sprout, if you use it to make a mechanism, then I will have no regrets in my life!"
"Hmph, these are made of wood after all, and if you chop them with a knife, they will still be sparse!" Fu Yibo looked at him with a mouse-eyed look and sneered, "A tattered wood, you are a treasure!" Da Po looked at him disdainfully.
"You guys who don't know what to do!" Meng Zhaolin said with his hand behind his back, "I have been dealing with wood since I was a child, what kind of material makes what kind of thing, I never resist, but people are different, just learned a little skill, I feel that I am covered in hair, and I want to fly into the sky!" He suddenly pointed at Fu Yibo and said: "I say it again, if you speak disrespectfully again, don't blame my subordinates for being ruthless, if you think you can win against me, I will accompany you to the end!"
Hongling said unhappily: "Meng Zhaolin, what do you mean, these two people are from my Hongling Gang, you say that, you just don't take my Hongling in your eyes." β
"Okay, even if I lose my words this time, it's hard to guarantee that I will miss next time!" Meng Zhaolin didn't give Hong Ling much face, but it wasn't mean either.
"You'd better not miss, if you miss, you will only have one end!"
Ye Zong said angrily: "Hong Ling, you killed Du Laobao, I want to settle this account with you!"
Hong Ling's eyes were cold, and he said without warmth: "This account will be settled sooner or later, but now is not the time, you still have to worry about yourself!" As soon as she left with her front foot, Fu Yibo and the two followed with her back foot, and above the main hall, there were only three people left, Meng Zhaolin, Ye Zongdu, and Xiao Ai.
Meng Zhaolin glared at the two of them, suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Xiao Ai's wrist, and said sharply: "Say, are you the daughter of the Corpse King?" His move surprised the two, Ye Zong never had time to stop it, a sharp blade flashed out of his other hand, sticking to Xiao Ai's throat, threatening: "You better be obedient, otherwise, I will solve you immediately!"
Xiao Ai yelled: "Are you so dizzy that you have nowhere to vent before you attack us?
"You don't have the damn to scare Lao Tzu!" Meng Zhaolin's hand squeezing the blade suddenly tightened, and he said angrily, "Is it the daughter of the Lord of Chubao, give me a happy answer!"
"Is she the daughter of the Corpse King, and what does it have to do with you?" Ye Zong decided to see that Meng Zhaolin had gone crazy, for fear of hurting Xiao Ai, so he changed his words again, "Regardless of whether it is or not, if you let her go, I will tell you!"
There was a burst of laughter outside the hall, hearing someone coming, Meng Zhaolin let go of his hands and patted Xiao Ai on the back, Xiao Ai fell into Ye Zongdu's arms, at this time, a man with a handsome face and a dashing demeanor walked into the hall leisurely, followed by a few maids with fruit plates, as soon as he saw this scene, he clapped his hands and smiled: "The two of you are so interested, when you come to our 'Shadow Island', you are still in good spirits, you and me, so interested!"
