Chapter 12: The Nine Palaces (I)
When Shen Changning woke up in a daze, he found that he was actually in a strange secret room, which was divided into two by several iron bars, and the entire secret room seemed to be made of iron boxes poured into a large mold, and there was not even a trace of gap in all directions, and there seemed to be an arc at the junction of the wall joints? What is this place? How did she come to this place?
She tried hard to remember what happened before, she and the servants of the Shen family went to see Ling'er, and when she walked to the back alley, her eyes suddenly went dark, and then- she couldn't remember what happened below, yes! She also seemed to hear a "croak" sound, as if it was a toad? Or is it a frog barking? She subconsciously touched her wrist, but found that all the accessories on her body were gone, her face changed slightly, fortunately, her yin and yang ring, red silk and peach wood sword were still there, giving her a lot of security.
She subconsciously wanted to stand up, but she didn't want a sharp pain from the dantian in her lower abdomen, she couldn't help bending down to cover her stomach, lifted her clothes and looked at it, the skin on her lower abdomen didn't see anything unusual at all, what was going on? She sat down cross-legged, luck trying to look inward.
"Little girl, if I were you, I wouldn't act rashly." A faint voice sounded in his ears, and Changning was so shocked that he couldn't tell whether the person who spoke was a man or a woman, but the voice was clear and round in his ears, and it sounded good. The peachwood sword flew out of her palm, and was tightly held in her hand, and the red silk and yin and yang ring also felt the master's affection, buzzing in her body, almost about to fly out. Changning's yin and yang ring is in her knowledge of the sea, the red silk is in the lower dantian, and the peach wood sword is being raised by her in the palm of her right hand, and the red silk has its own storage function, the space is not large, only a few square meters, but it is enough for her to put some important items.
"You still have a magic weapon? Little girl, who is your adult? How did you get caught? The voice was a little surprised.
Changning looked intently, only to see a thin and slender figure sitting opposite the iron fence, this stone room is very strange, her eyes can already see at night, but she can't see the situation in the stone room clearly, "My family has gone out, who are you?" What is this place? Why do you want me not to act rashly? ”
Changning's long list of questions made the man smile lightly, "This place used to be called Jiugong Pavilion, as for why I asked you not to act rashly-little girl, you can look at the back of you." ”
Jiugong Pavilion - When Changning heard the name of this place, his heart beat a drum, how do you see that this is not a good place? Why is she here? Who caught her? Changning was puzzled, she didn't think at this time that she would be arrested just because of her physique. When I heard the man say that there was someone behind her? Changning gripped the peachwood sword tighter.
"Put away your magic weapon first, don't worry, the people behind you will already be dead, and they won't threaten you." The man spoke with a faint smile, but his tone was completely unrejectable.
The man's words not only did not reassure Changning, but became more nervous, but she still listened to the man's words and took the peachwood sword back into her palm, the man didn't seem to hurt her for the time being, and she didn't need to resist him in small matters, she also hoped that Tong Guò would understand the current situation. She secretly took a deep breath and walked forward step by step, her steps were not big, but her steps did not stop at all, after walking for more than ten steps, she really saw a few voices lying on the ground, Changning's face turned pale, she had never seen a real dead person in her life.
She slowly moved over, and saw a mushroom in her eyes - Changning blinked, only to be sure that she was not mistaken, it was really a mushroom, but a very beautiful mushroom, like it was carved from white jade, and it also exuded a faint fragrance, the smell of the fragrance made people feel refreshed, but under such a beautiful mushroom, there was a dried corpse with hideous facial features, which added a bit of weirdness to this mushroom, Rao Changning had already made sufficient psychological preparations, and when he saw the black eyes of the dried corpse, he was also frightened and changed his face, " What is it? She asked, trembling in her voice.
"White ginseng mushroom."
White ginseng mushroom? Changning remembered the description of the white ginseng mushroom in the Kyushu Strange Things, which is one of the main ingredients of yellow buds, but shouldn't the white ginseng mushroom grow on rotten wood?
"Now you know why I told you not to mess with your luck, right?" The man said softly.
Changning glared at the dry corpse with a hideous and painful face, and suddenly shuddered, "You mean that I was also arrested to raise white ginseng mushrooms?" ”
"Probably not. The people who used to send in to raise mushrooms were dead, and you were the only living person. ”
"Then why did the seniors fall here?" Changning walked to the iron fence and looked at the person opposite, the person was still a long distance away from him, he should be sitting on a step with a relaxed posture, but the six black shadows around the person's body showed that the person was not in a good condition, and the six black shadows should be something like an iron chain, right?
"You little girl is pretty good at talking." The man moved, and the slight sound of iron chain friction sounded, which confirmed Changning's guess that the person should have been detained by something, "You guessed right, I was also arrested by them." The man's tone was very calm, but it made Changning's heart cold, and the yin and yang rings and red silk in his body trembled even more violently.
This person seems to be very good at talking, but his temper is too incomprehensible, Changning knows that he has no experience, and he can only be deceived when he meets the old rivers and lakes, and the current situation is unknown, although the person does not let himself look inward, but his physical condition must be known, Changning sat down cross-legged, and was not in a hurry to look inward, but first calmed himself down. She can be regarded as a person who has lived two lifetimes, but unfortunately she didn't finish college in her last life, and she is not yet an adult in this life, if she hadn't experienced a crossing, she wouldn't have been able to calm down all of a sudden.
It's not the first time she's experienced this kind of thing, the first time she wakes up from her grandfather's arms, she can't see her parents, she has become a little baby again, and there are only strangers around her, she really has a feeling that the sky is falling. This time, she has a little cultivation in her body, and she has three treasures to defend herself, which is better than the first experience. She looked at the dried corpse in the dark, the growth environment of the white ginseng mushroom must be a rotten and damp environment with sufficient aura, although she didn't understand how the owner of this place used people to raise white ginseng mushrooms, but the aura must be indispensable.
She was thrown to this place, could it be that the spores of the white ginseng mushroom were already planted on her body? The nutrients in the human body should also be able to raise mushrooms, right? Changning remembered that in the novels of his previous life, there were often some evil sects that would also raise heavenly and earthly treasures on people, and it was hard to guarantee that there were also evil sects here who invented this method. Inner vision is to stimulate spiritual power, spiritual power is the nutrient of spores, and her luck is equal to catalyzing the development of spores? So the man told himself not to mess with his luck? If it were someone else, it would definitely be difficult to encounter this situation, but Changning easily condensed his ancestral aperture, entered the sea of consciousness, grabbed the golden light of the Taiji Diagram, and used the golden light of the Taiji Diagram to see through his skin and bones, without using any spiritual power at all.
Under the perspective of golden light, Changning easily found the unusual place of her body, her dantian actually had something similar to a lotus seed, the lotus seed was quite weird in appearance, and a few slender tentacles actually emerged in the center of the lotus seed, stretching and squirming rhythmically, Changning was covered in goosebumps and stood up in rows, anyone who saw such a strange thing in his body would not be able to accept it, fortunately, the red silk sent out a red ray to surround this lotus seed, and constantly absorbed a trace of milky white gas coming out of the lotus seedThe tentacles of the chain squirmed even more, as if they were struggling.
Changning watched it for a long time, and vaguely felt that Hong Aya seemed to like the milky white gas very much, and I don't know if the yin and yang ring likes it or not? She also moved the yin and yang ring, when the yin and yang ring moved near the lotus seed, the double ring struck lightly, spewing out black and white gas, surrounding the lotus seed, the milky white gas on the lotus seed overflowed even more, and the lotus seed's body began to tremble, but the suppression of the red silk and the yin and yang ring made it unable to move at all. Seeing this situation, Changning is inexplicably happy, let you have nothing to enter my body! She was relieved to let her two treasures handle this strange thing. At this time, there was another voice in the secret room, because the secret room was very quiet, it seemed that the sound was particularly loud, she looked up at the sound, only to see a round thing jumping in, and when the person jumped in front of Changning, Changning saw that the person who came was actually a person who looked similar to a toad.
The man jumped in front of Changning, stared at Changning with a pair of toad eyes, and threw out a porcelain bottle in his hand, "It's time to eat, quack-"
Hearing the last "quack-", Changning suddenly heard the last voice he heard before he fell unconscious, "Who are you?" "The toad she guarded against, if she can't see that it's a toad, she's a fool.
The toad spirit ignored her, gave the pill and wanted to leave, and the person who had been silent for a long time spoke, "The light here is too dark, you turn it up a little brighter." The tone of the commanding voice was not like a prisoner at all, but like the master of a toad.
The toad's eyes bulged, and he was about to scold, but he pressed it down again, and he didn't see any movement, the light in the secret room suddenly lit up, and the toad spirit turned his head to stare at Changning, of course, his drum eyes seemed to be staring at people whenever and where, "That person is not a good thing!" Murder and arson, do all kinds of evil! I like to eat children like you the most, and you don't talk to her much! Stay here for a month, raise the lotus, and we'll let you go home, you know! If you're a little more behaved, I'll give you candy to eat, quack—" The toad spirit uttered a long series of words like a cannonball, and at the end of it did not forget to scream as a threat. He has been in the world for a long time, and he is very skilled in human language.
Changning: "......"
The man snorted lightly, and after killing the man with his gaze, the toad spirit slashed out again.
Changning didn't pay attention to the actions of the toad spirit, she was looking at the person who had been talking to her in shock, the light in the secret room was bright, so that she could see the person's face clearly, that person was actually a woman, and a very beautiful woman, she looked only in her early twenties, her face was beautiful, her long hair reached the ground, a dark robe was half-torn, six black chains were pulled out of the wall, penetrating the woman's collarbone and limbs, and through the broken clothes, you could see that the woman's skin was half burnt black, as if it had been scorched by fire.
This woman looks very wolf, but these wolf bèi do not damage her demeanor at all, such a harsh environment, this woman still looks calm, her long body is like a sheathed sword, a pair of phoenix eyes are full of eyes, and the glory of her face almost makes people dare not look directly. Of course, this beauty is also incomplete, because part of the skin on the woman's left jaw is also burned, but the skin that is perfect is as white as the finest jade, and no flaws can be picked out.
The woman looked at Changning's shocked gaze and smiled slightly, "Am I scary now?" ”
