Chapter 11: The Ghost Prince
Yin Tiancheng followed Ah Zhu to the living room, and found himself in an extremely gorgeous lobby, full of rare antiques that he had never seen before. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info sat an old man with a white beard in front of him, with a kind expression on his face. Judging from his clothes, the old man is indeed a prince, but he does not look like the prince of this dynasty. The nine crowns, scarlet robes, and jade brocade ribbons on his body, although they are all royal clothes, are not the styles that Yin Tiancheng usually sees.
At this moment, the prince was staring at Yin Tiancheng, his eyes were as sharp as an arrow.
"I have admired the name of Yin Gongzi for a long time, and it is really a great pleasure to see it today."
"It's just a little false in the next place, but fortunately, the prince is wrongly loved. I don't know the prince, I don't know where you know your name? Yin Tiancheng didn't want to dwell on polite words, the most important thing for him now was to know the roots.
"A few years ago, a thief named Duan Zhengan broke into my mansion by coincidence, and I heard some things about Yin Gongzi from his mouth."
"Spicy thief Duan Zheng'an?" Yin Tiancheng remembered the bizarre encounter with Duan Zhengan that night.
"That's him. Although he died at your hands, he admired you when he talked to Gu, thinking that you were a rare strange person in martial arts for a hundred years. ”
"That's just a lift to the bottom......"
"If you can get praise from the enemy, you can see that what you say must be true, so why should you be too modest."
Yin Tiancheng turned his words and asked, "When I first arrived in your mansion, I don't know what kind of place this is?" ”
"One sand, one world, one flower and one paradise. This is just the most inconspicuous of the countless immortal mountains in the God Realm, which was nameless in the past and is nameless now. ”
Of course Yin Tiancheng didn't believe it, he asked again: "May I ask the prince's surname?" ”
"The name is just a symbol, I haven't been out for thousands of years, and there are no guests to visit, and I have long forgotten the name."
replied to Ah Zhu in a tone, it seems that they are really a little tricky.
"But you can call me the Second Emperor."
"Second Emperor?" Yin Tiancheng remembered what Duan Zhengan said to him again, "I dare to ask, is what Duan Zhengan said to me about you true?" ”
"What's the matter?" The second emperor asked.
Yin Tiancheng told the second emperor in detail about what happened to Duan Zhengan that night.
The second emperor smiled: "Hehe, there is no such thing. He is just a murderer full of evil, how can Lone pass on his art of immortality. If this person lives one more day, I am afraid that there will be many disasters in the world. ”
"The prince is very right. There is something unclear below, and I hope the prince will answer. ”
"Please."
"Duan Thief died at my hands a few years ago, how could the prince meet him?"
"I don't have to see living people."
"Is it his ...... that you are seeing? Ghost? Yin Tiancheng said in a lost voice.
"Not bad. If a mortal does not have an immortal fate, how can he set foot in the immortal mountain? ”
Are there really ghosts? Yin Tiancheng still didn't believe it. He smiled and said, "I wonder if the prince can ask Duan Zhengan's ghost to come out and catch up with me?" ”
"It is a capital crime for this person to trespass on the Immortal Mountain, and after asking me about the things I am interested in, he will be beaten to pieces, and Yin Gongzi will never see him again."
Sure enough, there was no proof of death, Yin Tiancheng sneered and was speechless.
A dark expression flashed on the second emperor's face, and he said to Yin Tiancheng with a smile: "Yin Gongzi sits less, and he will come if he goes alone." After saying that, he walked into the inner hall.
Only Yin Tiancheng was left in the huge hall, and the atmosphere became a little weird.
After waiting for a long time, Yin Tiancheng didn't see anyone come out to greet him, so he couldn't help but feel a little anxious. Boredom, he had to admire the antiques to pass the time.
Just as he was playing with an azure glazed string bottle, he suddenly heard a beast-like wail from the inner hall. Yin Tiancheng's heart sank, and he hurriedly put down the porcelain bottle and walked lightly to the inner hall.
The gorgeous inner hall is full of gold and jade. There is an agarwood bed in the hall, with pearls as curtains and shark yarn as tents, and the only thing that makes people feel terrifying is that the bed is not a person, but a gray-white skeleton. The skeleton looked like a living thing, the ribs between its ribs rising and falling in regular motion, like a living person breathing. The teeth under the skull were also constantly opening and closing, and every time he opened his mouth irregularly, the wail like a beast reached Yin Tiancheng's ears. On the golden clothes rack at the head of the bed hung nine crowns and scarlet robes, which were exactly the clothes worn by the second emperor who was chatting with Yin Tiancheng just now.
This skeleton is the Second Emperor? Could it be that he used the name of an immortal to confuse Yin Tiancheng, but in fact he was a skeleton monster who had cultivated to perfection? Seeing this terrifying scene, Yin Tiancheng's expression was as usual, and he was not at all panicked when he first entered the Immortal Mountain. He just hid lightly behind the screen, observing the skeleton with cold eyes, not missing any clues.
The bed squeaked, and the skeleton sat up, reaching out to remove the clothes hanging from the hanger and ready to put them on. Gradually, the skeleton began to change, first black eyes appeared in the hollow eye sockets, and the whole skeleton also plumped up with flesh and blood. Immediately afterwards, skin grew on the flesh, and hair sprouted like grass in early spring. As the clothes were put on, the skeleton also became the second emperor.
"Ahh The skeleton let out a soft cry of relief, a cry full of evil and joy, and as the cry stopped, the inner hall fell silent for a moment. The second emperor moved his muscles and began to comb his clothes in front of the bronze mirror, and Yin Tiancheng quietly withdrew from the inner hall and sat back on his chair when he turned his back to him.
"Yin Gongzi, I'm sorry to keep you waiting." The second emperor walked out of the inner hall with a smile, still with that amiable expression, and there was no terrifying and gloomy taste of Shicai at all.
"It's okay. It's just that he is on official business, and it is inconvenient to stay for a long time, so he will retire for the time being, and he will come to visit the prince in the future. ”
"There is no way to go in Xianshan, Yin Gongzi, I'm afraid I can't help you." Ah Zhu, who had not seen anyone for a long time, suddenly poked his head out from behind him and talked to him.
"Miss Azhu, what do you say?"
"You already knew when you played yesterday that the fairy mountain is isolated in the vast sea of clouds, how do you go down the mountain?"
Yin Tiancheng said coldly: "Do I want to be alone here for the rest of my life?" ”
The second emperor smiled and said to him: "Yin Gongzi, don't worry, you can enter this immortal mountain, it is enough to show that you have an immortal fate, why don't you worship me as a teacher, cultivate your temperament and cultivate the truth, he will be able to ascend to the flying immortal one day, and finally prove the avenue?" ”
"I'm just an ordinary man, chasing fame and fortune, obsessed with the sound. For the matter of cultivating immortals, I hope that the prince will find someone else. ”
The second emperor sighed: "In the past, Emperor Qin and Han Wu devoted all their strength to seek immortals and seek the way. In life, birth, old age, sickness and death, eventually we will still fall into reincarnation. Immortal cultivators, knowing yin and yang, knowing the world, avoiding death and prolonging life, is the ultimate pursuit of people, why is Yin Gongzi obsessed? ”
Yin Tiancheng replied: "Immortals are two heavens, Yin's heart is not over, and he would rather be a lover in the world than an immortal." ”
The second emperor asked: "What other knots do you have, is it more important than cultivating immortals?" ”
"There are frequent murders in the capital, and the murderers are still at large, and if the thieves are not brought to justice, I can't sleep well."
"Karma gives birth to the law, Yin Gongzi is really unfinished, it is better to cultivate in our mansion for a few days, maybe you can comprehend the mystery of the fairy road."
Yin Tiancheng was anxious when he heard it, I have to rush back to solve the case, how can I have time to listen to you talk about the scriptures. He was about to open his mouth when he heard the second emperor say to him: "I know that Yin Gongzi didn't have a good lunch today, and it was a mistake to be lonely and lazy. Lonely is about to eat, how about Yin Gongzi accompany him? ”
"It's better to be respectful than to obey." Yin Tiancheng said with a smile, it is true that he did not eat enough today.
With a wave of Ah Zhu's hand, a delicate dining table appeared between the second emperor and Yin Tiancheng, and the table was full of fragrant delicacies. The jade-like wine, poured into a turquoise jade cup through Ah Zhu's jade hand, is full of color, flavor and flavor.
Yin Tiancheng sniffed the wine and couldn't help but praise: "Good wine." ”
"Don't worry, Childe." The second emperor smiled: "The wine and food are clean." ”
Yin Tiancheng also laughed and said: "I have lived with the prince in the next life, how can the prince cause harm." ”
"Yin Gongzi is not only very intelligent, but he also seems to have good guts." The second emperor asked him: "I don't know what case made Yin Gongzi so fascinated that he could give up cultivating immortals for it?" ”
Yin Tiancheng then roughly talked to him about the facts of the case and the inference of his own case.
The second emperor listened carefully to Yin Tiancheng's words, and his face became more and more cloudy. Especially when Yin Tiancheng said that he judged that this series of murders was committed by one person, the left hand that the second emperor put under the table slowly stretched out from his sleeve, which was a bone-like ghost claw.
Yin Tiancheng was unconscious, and was still talking about the case. Ah Zhu's hands were already lightly pressed on the shoulders of the second emperor, as if he was massaging him and comforting him. The Second Emperor's expression slowly calmed down, and the ghost claws retracted into his sleeves.
Yin Tiancheng finally finished speaking, and the second emperor put down his wine glass and said softly: "People in the rivers and lakes call you 'God Hunting', which does make some sense. ”
"Since the prince knows the details, I hope you will allow me to go down the mountain to solve the case as soon as possible."
"Ah Zhu has already said that this is a fairyland, and when the world arrives here, there will never be news to the world." When he said this, the Second Emperor's eyes kept staring at Yin Tiancheng, as if observing his reaction.
Yin Tiancheng drank all the wine in his hand and said in a deep voice: "It's a pity, this is not an immortal mountain at all. With that, the corners of his lips turned up, and he smiled. This is his habitual expression, and every time he solves a haunting puzzle, he can't help it.
