Chapter 19: Gains and Losses

Yuxiao just wanted to drag the other party, and knew that his quicksand technique would not cause much damage, but he didn't expect it to be so useless, in a hurry, he had to accept the lock spirit silk first, and then, after thinking about it for a while, gritted his teeth, his handprint changed, and he recited the spell.

As the incantation sounded higher and higher, several large and small stones flew out of nowhere, pieced together, and turned into a stone man more than two meters high, moving his hands and feet twice, and slamming it towards the fake jade xiao.

The fake Yuxiao pulled Shu Kui with one hand, raised it with the other hand to resist, and was suddenly pressed shorter.

Seeing that the attack was effective, Yu Xiao hurriedly urged the stone man to attack again, but the stone man was huge, and his movements were inevitably a little slow.

The fake Yuxiao took advantage of the moment of two seconds, and without dodging or dodging, he actually pulled Shu Kui in front of him.

Shu Kui suddenly saw a huge fist falling on top of his head at a rapid pace, and he couldn't help but shrink his neck and close his eyes in fright.

Yuxiao was also shocked and hurriedly stopped, but Shiren didn't seem to listen to the command much, and didn't stop moving, but the direction changed slightly, and his fist rubbed against Shu Kui's face, rubbing out a long blood mark, and "booming" a hole seven or eight inches deep was made on the ground.

"Little sister, if you want to use a stone puppet, your Taoism is a little shallow." The fake Yuxiao turned his head to look at the pit, and shook his head loudly, "If it continues like this, I'm afraid that not only will it not save her, but it will kill her." ”

Yu Xiao knew very well that with her current strength, she really couldn't completely control the good stone man, but Shu Kui was pinched in the hands of the other party, even if she died in battle, she had to fight with all her might, otherwise, without Ling Jiuchuan to blame, she would also commit suicide to thank her for the sin of poor protection.

Thinking about it, she changed her handprint and chanted the spell again, and a brown ball of light slowly condensed on the stone man's fist.

"Don't you want to live?" Fake Yuxiao frowned.

Yuxiao didn't speak, and after the ball of light rose to the size of a human head, the stone man roared, and his fist shattered into countless small stones, wrapped in the ball of light, and rushed straight towards the face of the fake Yushino like an arrow.

The fake Yuxiao was still a little jealous of this ball of light, and he didn't know what to do, so he suddenly took Shu Kuifei and quickly retreated, flashed, and hid behind a tree.

The ball of light hit the trunk of the tree and disappeared without a sound, leaving only the small stones, which passed through the trunk and fell to the ground.

The tree shook twice and collapsed with a bang.

At this moment, a black shadow flashed, and the guards surrounding it exploded and chased in the direction of the wall.

At this moment, Yuxiao only felt as if his body had been hollowed out, and his eyes were blurry, and he vaguely saw the fake Yuxiao carrying Shu Kui and jumping out of the wall.

At the same time, the alarm bells in the palace were loud.

A guard came running from a distance, and before he could get closer, he opened his throat and shouted: "Lord Yu, someone has broken into His Majesty's room." ”

Yuxiao's body shook, his chest seemed to have been punched hard, his throat was sweet, he spit out a mouthful of blood, and his eyes turned black for a while.

The guards hurriedly held her up, and shouted at the top of their voices for the medical officer.

"Wait." Yuxiao knew that Ling Jiuchuan had gone out, "What did you lose?" ”

"I haven't had time to look into it yet." The guards told the truth.

"I'll take a look." Yuxiao pushed away the guards, barely supported his body, and came to Ling Jiuchuan's room one foot deep and one foot shallow.

The door was not closed, and as far as the eye could see, there were basically no traces of turning, but the windows were wide open, and the breeze blew the curtains and fluttered gently, making them look unusually calm.

Yuxiao asked the guards to guard outside, locked the door, went to the wine cabinet behind the bar, turned a bottle of wine clockwise, the wine cabinet paused, retreated to the wall, and slid to the side, revealing a room of about ten square meters, with nothing in it, only on one side of the wall, nailed two rows of hooks.

This is the secret room that collects the spirit soldiers of the town country, and there are charms in the upper and lower eight corners, so as to form a seal, which has always been only accessible to the king, and only the king and the palace manager know where the secret room is located and how to open it.

That day, as soon as Ling Jiuchuan got the Silence Gun, he immediately put it here, but now, the seal has been broken, and the Silence Gun is nowhere to be found.

Looking at the empty secret room, Yuxiao felt that the sky was about to fall.

She tried her best to calm herself down, closed the secret room, found a piece of paper, wrote a flying crane note and put it away, and finally couldn't support it anymore, and collapsed limply on the two-seater sofa in the living room.

Ling Jiuchuan received the Feihe note two minutes later, and his heart sank when he saw it, and he hurried back to Haocang Palace, and as soon as he entered the door of the room, he saw the unconscious Yuxiao, busy doing a simple examination, and ordered to call the medical officer.

Fortunately, Yuxiao's situation was not very strict, but because he reluctantly used high-level spells, his mana was consumed too much, and he was strongly stimulated, and he was in a hurry for a while, so he didn't breathe and lost consciousness, and he would completely recover after a few days of rest.

Ling Jiuchuan breathed a sigh of relief, and asked someone to carry Yuxiao back to the dormitory, and stayed until the sun was in the west, only to see her open her eyes.

When Yuxiao saw Ling Jiuchuan, he opened his mouth, but he couldn't say anything, biting his lower lip, his face was terrifyingly pale.

"You don't blame you for that." Ling Jiuchuan spoke, "The person who can break the seal of the secret room is either an immortal or a demon, and you can't deal with it." ”

Yuxiao still bit her lip, she was already biting blood, and she was silent for a long time before she whispered: "That person should know my grandfather, and he said that the fire unicorn can't help him." ”

Ling Jiuchuan also fell silent when he heard the words - Yu Xiao's grandfather is the Yu Botian in the mouth of the fake Yu Xiao, he is the most capable warlock in the clan, and he is a high-level fire control technique, and he is only one step away from entering the demon, but unfortunately, in the turmoil nearly a thousand years ago, in order to cover Ling Yukun's retreat, he fought with Lian Candle and Xia Zhi, and was finally defeated and sacrificed.

"If you want to talk about immortals and demons, there are only a few people, I really can't see which one she is." Tamashi continued.

"Did you use the Stone Battle Golem and the Falling Star Technique?" Ling Jiuchuan had already learned the whole thing from the guards.

"Shu Kui is in her hands, I have no other way." Tamashino's voice lowered.

Ling Jiuchuan was silent, thinking that if he encountered such a situation, he would definitely reluctantly use the most powerful tricks, even if the final result was serious injury or even death, it would be better than watching and doing nothing.

"Your Majesty, I don't understand, since she already has the Silence Gun, why did she take Shu Kui away?" This is what Tamashi can't figure out the most.

Ling Jiuchuan looked at her and said, "Maybe you want to use this as a blackmail." ”

After a pause, he lowered his voice and continued: "The details of those people, have you found anything?" ”

Tamashi shook her head, her face full of apologies.

Ling Jiuchuan had already expected this to be the case, and comforted: "It doesn't matter, even the people who stayed in Jinzhai have only given me a vague clue until now, and you can't find anything, it's not strange." ”

It turned out that as early as more than a year ago, a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy came to the gate of the palace and said that he wanted to do a business with Ling Jiuchuan.

Ling Jiuchuan saw him, talked alone for only a few minutes, and then asked the guards to drag the boy down, beat the board, and expelled him from the palace, never to come again.

In the eyes of others, this is just another little ruffian who wants to cheat money, in fact, only Ling Jiuchuan knows that he has indeed brought an inestimable piece of information.

The boy's name is Tao Yinxuan, a native of Youlan Country, who lives at the junction of Youlan Country and Kuixian Country, is very poor, and the house has only three walls, and he can't even say that his house has four walls.

Late one night, he fell asleep and rolled under the bed, and just as he was about to wake up, two people walked in while talking.

"Do you think that lord can really be king?" A man is telling a joke.

The other person was much more serious and quickly "shhh

The man before didn't care, and couldn't help laughing: "Don't worry, look at this place, the dogs don't want to come, there won't be anyone." I just think, if he can really become the king of Kuixian, then we will not be a great hero, when the time comes, eat fragrant and drink spicy, live in the palace compound, and no longer have to go to stay in Jinzhai, and be yelled at by the worm, haha......"

Just as he was about to speak, there were suddenly a few more people in the room, and only one of them shouted "What do you want to do", followed by the sound of fighting.

Tao Yinxuan took advantage of the chaos, moved a few loose bricks, slipped out of the corner, and didn't dare to go home until the evening of the next day.

And the ** dead man lying in front of his house made him break out in a cold sweat, and he felt that his life would not be guaranteed.

When he was anxious, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mindβ€”didn't the two people who came first mention King Kuixian? Then go to the king of Kuixian, tell him what he heard, and maybe he will receive a lot of rewards.

But what I never expected was that when I came to Haocang Palace and saw King Kuixian, the king not only didn't believe it, but also beat him, fortunately, I was lucky enough to meet a kind sister just out of the palace, so I wouldn't sleep on the streets.

Besides, Ling Jiuchuan, seeing Tao Yinxuan's words and clear thinking, it was not like lying, he already had a plan in his heart, he was furious on the surface, but behind his back, he ordered Yuxiao to send someone to properly place the boy in order to protect him and find out more in the future. Then, he hid his identity and went to Liujinzhai to inquire about the two people who were killed and the "bugs" in their mouths.

The strange thing is that no matter how much money Ling Jiuchuan pays, the answer he gets is that these two people have been expelled from the village for misconduct, and as for "bug", there is no way to find out because it is a nickname that is too big.

To this day, Tao Yinxuan still lives in a private house not far from the palace, living a worry-free life of food and clothing but not very free, and has talked countless times about the events of that night and the conversation between those two people. Ling Jiuchuan not only entrusted Liujinzhai, but also worked with Yuxiao to investigate openly and secretly, but there was no result.

Now that Shu Kui has been taken captive and the spirit soldiers have been taken away, he can't help but worry that the people behind the "bugs" should have greater ambition and stronger strength.
