Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Game of Catching Ghosts

Under the general trend of the saying "the arm can't twist the thigh" and the elegant saying "people have to bow their heads under the eaves", the envoys of the four countries finally had to rub the fire and reluctantly choose to compromise.

- They all thought maliciously, anyway, this is not to make trouble in their ancestral grave, how to make a mess.

Of course, to say that the strongest relationship between people is the binding of interests, they can accept this ridiculous proposal, mainly because the fish erbium left by Emperor Jing is too fat, and when they think of being able to become the queen of Emperor Jing, a powerful country in Jiuzhou, who can resist this temptation?

Even if they need to fight hard in the process of moving forward, they will not hesitate to do it.

But at the moment, this is not going to the battlefield after all, and they are not desperate with the princess, so the envoys have euphemistically demanded that the Chaoyuan Kingdom must ensure that under the principle of fair competition, the life safety of the princess of other countries will be protected.

When the word "fairness" was spoken, the eyes of the other three kingdoms drifted towards the Ying Imperial Kingdom, intentionally or unintentionally.

I think that although the news of the princess of the Three Kingdoms who almost drowned in Taihu Lake was repeatedly encrypted and strictly sealed, there was still a cracked wall in the end, and someone leaked the news, but because the injured were only the princesses of some small countries, and they were still competitors of each other, most people didn't pay attention at all even if they knew the way, but at this time, they were churned out by them to say that it was obviously a rabbit and a fox.

Regarding this point, the official of Chaoyuan Country really has no way to refuse directly, His Majesty sings black-faced, someone has to sing red-faced, or people have to say that they are bandits, but they don't dare to fully guarantee the words they say, they all know the urine sex of Emperor Jing of Dao, not to mention playing to death the princesses of several countries, that is, taking the lives of the whole world to spoil, it is not a matter in his eyes, this person's heart is always black like his face.

But there is one thing that is good, that is, Emperor Jing has always said that he will do it, never speak, although he is bad behind his back, but he loves to save face and is not difficult for others, thinking that the conditions given by His Majesty are clearly and clearly placed on the surface, either do it, or get out, look, how difficult it is to be strong, the back road and the front road are set aside for people, although the meaning of this is a little more arrogant, but people don't hold you and beg you to force you to agree, right?

Since the four countries agreed, this means that they are willing to sign such a risky contract, but now they have a bad face of being wronged and asking for compensation, to say that the Tang monk has to go to the west to get the scriptures of Pudu sentient beings and have to go through nine hundred and eighty-one difficulties, and it is not possible to do one less difficulty, if you want to get a rich return, can you not show some sincerity in exchange?

To say, although the officials of the Chaoyuan State always secretly bury their own leaders, they never drop the chain at a critical moment, regardless of right or wrong, they are resolutely on the side of the leadership, and they will not waver for a hundred years!

Therefore, they just sympathized casually, and verbally said that they would arrange for people to secretly protect them, and "try" not to have any casualties, but if anything in this world can be prevented, then it is not surprising, so they also euphemistically proposed that regarding the marriage between the two countries, I hope they can reconsider.

Where can the envoys of the four countries not understand the meaning of the official words of the Chaoyuan Kingdom, this is clearly a mud, do not interfere with Emperor Jing's decision-making, and are only willing to come to the rescue of the international community, although they all have the intention of retreating for a while, but in the end they are still forced by the greed in their hearts and the current situation, gritting their teeth, they said that they are willing to participate.

It stands to reason that Emperor Jing put forward such an unreasonable and unconscionable request, no matter how much the four countries who are compromised, they will choose to refuse, after all, it is not child's play to break into the imperial tomb and steal treasures, what is this imperial tomb, it is the place where the emperor sleeps after his death, can this place be easily broken into?

But when Emperor Jing threw out the conditions, he didn't seem to be worried, and he was sure that everyone would definitely participate.

In fact, the behavior of these four countries is indeed somewhat strange, and none of them is willing to withdraw.

But soon the officials of Chaoyuan Country made up the answer in their brains, thinking that today's Jiuzhou Continent is not as good as before, it is called an internal and external trouble, and the natural disasters of various countries are raging and suffering, and they can't be like in the past, as soon as they encounter injustices, they will play prestige together, put pressure on people, and now they are basically too busy to take care of themselves, and they just want to be able to hug a thick and fat thigh and bear the baptism of Jiuzhou's destruction and subversion this time.

- But in fact, what the truth is, that has to be said for another reason.

After taking the four princesses together and sending them to the entrance of the imperial tomb, and preparing enough water and food for each of them, he put the four of them in together.

Within the three-day time limit, the Chaoyuan Congress sent people to secretly monitor and protect 24X3 hours without interruption, and once it was confirmed that the princess of a certain country would not be able to continue the competition, they would rescue people from the imperial tomb, and at the same time it also meant that they were eliminated.

The time limit of three days is stipulated, and no help or hints are provided in it, and the location of the four treasures is a mystery, and they must be searched everywhere in the Imperial Tomb, but even if they are lucky enough to find a treasure on the first day, they must stay in the Imperial Tomb for three days, because the Imperial Tomb will only open the exit on the fourth day when the sun rises, and Emperor Jing will come on the fourth day to welcome the final result.

——

Emperor Jianye believed in feng shui, so his imperial mausoleum was built by people until he ascended the throne, and it took 23 years to continuously improve, and finally became a large-scale, well-designed imperial mausoleum.

The imperial mausoleum is built with two rammed earth walls inside and outside, symbolizing the imperial city and the palace city of the capital, and there are all kinds of palaces built in the underground palace, which is similar to most of the imperial tombs, there are many strange treasures displayed inside, and there are a large number of burials and tombs with different shapes and connotations around the mausoleum, and it is estimated that there are hundreds.

Overall, this tomb of Emperor Jianye is very large, very wide, and very TM pit princess!

As soon as you enter the imperial mausoleum, you can not distinguish the southeast and northwest with your eyes wide as soon as you close the stone door behind you.

"Why is this place so dark?"

The purple-shirted princess of the elite luck genius Yangshuo Kingdom groped her way forward with a complaining mouth.

She loves to be top-notch, loves to be the first in everything, and is not willing to lag behind.

In the darkness, Princess Yan Wushuang of the high-end Yan Shuangguo, who is an all-round talent, walked next to the wall and guessed: "This should just be a passage used by the mausoleum builders to transport sand and gravel, and usually only kerosene torches are lit to guide the way, those things are afraid that they have already burned out, let's go forward, and when we really get to the mausoleum, we should see the fire." ”

"It's worthy of Princess Yan Wushuang, she really knows half of the heavens, and she knows everything underground." The beautiful and compelling Princess Beiluo crossed her arms and praised without saltiness.

She stumbled from the beginning to the current gait steadily, her eyes obviously adjusted to the darkness around her, and she could see some outlines clearly.

"Hey, don't talk about these useless things, how long will it take to get there, this underground is full of small pebbles, and it's very crickly." The purple-shirted princess kicked a pebble irritably, and her waxy and beautiful voice, even if she complained impatiently, still carried a coquettish air.

"If I had known that Lu Dao had what happened today, maybe I would have found someone to buy the drawings of the imperial mausoleum of Emperor Jianye and study it carefully, and I would not have been in the miserable situation of a blind man touching the elephant now." Breathing out from the nasal cavity, the slightly sarcastic tone comes from Princess Beiluo.

To say that although the princess of Beiluo is only the princess of a small country, everyone in a country is engaged in the most profitable business of buying and selling, basically the gold and silver of the treasury can be comparable to the family of a strong country, so this opening is closed, and people are really not bad for money.

- That's it.

"It won't be long before this passage is generally not built too long to avoid danger-"

Before Yan Wushuang's words were finished, he heard the purple-shirted princess in front of him screaming in surprise: "There is light, you see, there is light ahead, I see it, hurry, hurry up, let's go faster!" ”

"It looks like we're coming to an end." Princess Beiluo flicked her golden hair in a variety of ways, and walked forward with the fast-jumping purple-shirted princess with light lotus steps.

And when Princess Yan Wushuang was about to step up to follow, she suddenly remembered something, paused, and shouted forward: "Wait, don't you think it's a little strange? She hadn't heard Princess Bao Dai speak since just now, and she ...... It doesn't seem to be keeping up. ”

"What?" The purple-shirted princess turned around in surprise, but heard Princess Beiluo behind her suddenly let out a short scream.

"Ah——!h

"What's wrong?!"

Yan Wushuang and the purple-shirted princess were both startled, and then they screamed together.

In the darkness, only two sounds of "bang" and "pop" were heard, as if a heavy object hit the wall, and then fell to the ground, the two of them looked frightened, when they knew that something must have happened, they shouted "You are okay" and "What's wrong?" "Hey, if you're alive, you should make a sound" while walking towards Princess Beiluo with his eyes open.

Princess Beiluo didn't reply, Yan Wushuang and the two of them sank in their hearts at the moment, and hurriedly helped the person up one by one, and sent them to a bright place in front of them to rest.

But as soon as this person put it down, Princess Beiluo suddenly opened her eyes, and her eyes were full of blazing fire.

"Ahem-you—you dare to plot against me?!"

Princess Beiluo staggered to her feet, and then pushed the two of them away, staring at them both as if she were staring at them as prisoners of class struggle, full of hatred.

"What are you talking about?" The purple-shirted princess was petite, and she was pushed by the tall and tall princess Beiluo, and she was immediately so angry that the eyes of the two watery deer were bulging.

"What a plot, we haven't done anything!" After Yan Wushuang stabilized his body, he also said angrily.

"Do you think I didn't see anything?! Do you think I can be plotted by you so easily?! You must not know that I actually know martial arts, otherwise I would have been beaten to death by you with that palm just now! ”

Princess Beiluo pointed at them, because she had Westerner blood, her skin was white, and she was angry and excited in her heart, and her face immediately turned red, and her face was full of blood.

The two of them were stunned, and there were some subtle flickering in their eyes.

- It turns out that she can also do martial arts.

"It was so dark just now, I couldn't even see the road clearly, you said you were plotted by us, what about the evidence? What did you see, so sure the two of us were plotting against you? Purple Shirt's delicate baby face was full of doubts.

"Hmph, I was hit from behind, who else can there be in this imperial tomb besides you?"

"Behind the scenes? That's none of my business, at that time, you were behind Yan Wushuang, and besides, I don't know martial arts, how can I have the ability to beat you away with one palm. The purple-shirted princess shrugged innocently.

"You-" Yan Wushuang saw that the purple-shirted princess actually shirked her suspicions of the club, and her face immediately sank, she looked at Princess Beiluo and said: "Although the person standing behind you is me, it is not necessarily me, what posture were you standing in at that time, and some of them may be tricky." ”

Hearing Yan Wushuang say this, the purple-shirted princess became anxious: "Hey, don't frame others, I said it, I don't know martial arts!" ”

A sneer appeared on Yan Wushuang's magnolia-like gentle and atmospheric face: "You won't, can't I be?!" ”

"You said you wouldn't, wouldn't?"

"You're not the same."

"Yan Wushuang, don't think that if you look like a good person, you are a good person, let me tell you, I know you, you are a femme fatale!"

"What kind of person I am, I just need to know the Tao myself, and I don't need you to take a mouse."

"You're rude! It's a shame that you're pretending to be like a pure immortal......"

"I have to look at someone who is high, I'm sorry for you, I can only be rude."

If you want to talk about the war of words, this purple-shirted princess is really not Yan Wushuang's opponent.

"That's it! Stop dog-eat-dog! "Princess Beiluo was so noisy by them that her eardrums hurt.

The purple-shirted princess turned her head suddenly, her eyes glaring like lanterns: "Who do you say is a dog!" ”

Yan Wushuang seemed to be touched by something, and suddenly shouted: "Wait a minute, I think we may have been tricked!" ”

"Huh? What do you mean? Princess Beiluo and Princess Purple Shirt turned their heads to look at her.

Yan Wushuang said solemnly: "I think, we have been ignoring one person. ”

Princess Beiluo immediately reacted: "You mean Princess Bao Dai?!" ”

"Yes...... But does she know martial arts? The purple-shirted princess wrinkled her little apple face suspiciously, in her mind, this princess Bao Dai was a woman, except for some vulgar embroidery skills, it was just a waste, where could she understand these methods.

- Speaking of which, she just saw that the smart Yan Wushuang was not pleasing to the eye, and she felt that she was full of conspiracy theories, and if she wanted to engage in conspiracy, she had to have a good brain, can this Princess Bao Dai have a good brain?

Yan Wushuang knew that these two people didn't like her, and they had always regarded her as the first competitor in this competition, so compared to the inconspicuous Princess Bao Dai, who was easy to solve, they wanted to solve her first.

"It doesn't matter if she will or not, or if she did it or not, but the four of us came in together, but why did she disappear alone, don't you think this whole thing is suspicious?"

"Maybe you fall down in the dark, and you can't get up for a while, and when you get up, you're already lost." The purple-shirted princess didn't care.

Princess Beiluo pursed her lips with disdain: "Hmph, what's suspicious, why don't I think she is lost, maybe she was killed in the dark like me, and I don't know where Lu Dao died!" ”

As soon as these words fell, the purple-shirted princess and Yan Wushuang both changed their faces.

The former was frightened, and the latter heard Princess Beiluo's words, which was suspected of using her as a murderer.

"Are you looking for me?"

At this moment, a flat and waveless, ethereal and cold voice like a ghost sounded from behind the three of them.

Suddenly! The pores of the three of them stood up in unison, and when they looked back suddenly, they saw the figure of Princess Bao Dai belatedly coming from the dark passage.

- The three of them gasped and were shocked, this person suddenly came out from behind, almost scared them to death!

"Where have you been?!"

The three of them were like fighting cocks, and they questioned Yu Ziying together with a fierce attitude.

This is all looking for the face that was scared just now.

"Does this have anything to do with you?" Yu Ziying asked calmly.

The three of them were suffocated, and their faces were ugly.

"I heard you guys arguing about something just now, I want to give you a piece of advice before we officially start, one of the three of you is Yin Sheng's spies, if you don't want to be assassinated or used like an ignorant pig, it's best to know how to be suspicious."

Yu Ziying's eyelashes are as black as lacquer, his eyes are dotted with a wave of secluded pools, and the still water flows deeply, sweeping away at a glance, only making people tremble.

The game of catching ghosts was about to begin, and before that, Yu Ziying felt that she had to remind them of the rules of the game and the consequences of losing the game.

Only one of the three may be a ghost, if you don't want to be eaten by a ghost, then you need to have a pair of eyes, keep a good eye on all the suspicious places around, as long as you find the ghost to get out of this imperial tomb alive.

"Yin, Yin Sheng?!" The purple-shirted princess was stunned.

"The Yin Sage who made Jiuzhou face the destruction of the world?!" Princess Beiluo is stupid.

"Are you telling the truth?" Princess Wushuang was stunned.

"Aren't you curious what I was doing?"

Yu Ziying's dark eyes seemed to be covered with a creepy smile, which looked very weird and terrifying.

- As for what the other three people think so.

"Y-What did you just do?" Unconsciously, the rhythm of the three people's speech was completely controlled by Yu Ziying, and as soon as she changed the topic, they went to that topic.

"I'm going to examine the body." Yu Ziying said.

Hiss~ The three of them gasped again: "What, what corpse?!" "To say that the purple-shirted princess is the least daring of the three, and she speaks with a sheep's trilling voice at the moment.

"The people who protect us...... of corpses. ”

Yu Ziying's emotionless eyes became deeper and darker.

"Hey, what the hell are you talking about, what kind of people protect us, what corpses, how did those who protect us become corpses?!" Princess Beiluo was about to be startled by herself, and her nerves were crazy with Yu Ziying's weird atmosphere, so she shouted at her angrily.

Yu Ziying glanced at her, a shallow smile appeared on the corner of her lips, and her indifferent and almost pale face did not become soft and natural because of this little smile, but was even more gloomy and uncomfortable.

"What kind of place do you think the Imperial Mausoleum is, just like the three of you can do martial arts, if there is no one to rescue you when you encounter poison gas hidden weapons and traps, you will still die, so it is impossible for Emperor Jing not to send someone to protect it, even if Emperor Jing will not, in order to reduce some trouble, the officials of Chaoyuan Kingdom will also arrange it like this, this is a very simple and easy to understand thing."

Yu Ziying paused for a moment, as if giving them time to digest, she put away her smile and said expressionlessly: "And now those people who were sent are all dead, in that dark hole, a total of thirteen human lives, all of which were killed by someone through the chest, and among you who can take the lives of thirteen masters in an instant, guess who that person will be?" ”

Yu Ziying's expression was very calm when she said this, as if she was flipping through the file of a murder case, asking who the suspect and murderer were.

And her words were simply not too informative, and they simply shocked the three of them.

She broke the fact that the three of them actually know martial arts, and there is no question mark in this statement, but they are directly convicted with a full stop.

Then the master who protected a few of them was killed, and in the next three days, the safety of the four of them was completely unguaranteed, if there was any problem, don't expect others to help, and you should be grateful to Dade if you don't fall into the ground.

There is also the most terrifying and unacceptable news, that is, among the several of them, there is actually a fine work sent by Yin Sheng, and the martial arts of the fine work is called a high character, killing thirteen masters of the Chaoyuan Kingdom in seconds, this matter is on them, this minute is the rhythm of the scythe of the god of death resting on the neck to be cut.
