Episode 195: Emperor's Palace
"Boom!"
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”
It's just dawn outside.
In the stone room at the bottom of the lake in the moonlit night, Luo Qingzhou was naked, and began to sweat like rain to practice "Shaking the Mountain Baquan".
In dim light.
The flesh of the arm was tight, the muscles bulged, and the surface of the membrane shimmered with a metallic sheen under the sweat soaking.
The punches are getting harder and stronger, and the wind is getting stronger.
In the silence of the stone chamber, a shrill sonic boom began to sound.
The epithelium, muscles, and fascia are all under the fierce moves of Baquan, from cold to hot, from hot to hot.
Then he throbbed slightly and became sore.
After gritting his teeth and insisting on practicing until noon, Luo Qingzhou's whole body was sore, and he stopped with all his strength.
Eating beef and drinking water.
Take a break.
Immediately, he sat cross-legged and dropped two drops of spiritual liquid to replenish the energy in his body.
Then we start running the inner strength of the mind.
After an hour, all the internal strength and physical strength that have been consumed are restored.
He got up and continued practicing.
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”
Accumulate strength, and the punches are getting more and more ferocious!
Sweat flowed down his cheeks like water, and sweat poured down his whole body.
The only shorts he was wearing, he quickly got soaked.
In the afternoon.
He walked out of the stone chamber, went to the middle passage, and continued to split the stone to open the way, quenching the fascia skin and flesh.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”
In the passage, soon the gravel rolled down and the stone chips flew.
In the evening.
He pushed the blocked passage forward another seven or eight meters.
Out of the passage.
After bathing at the bottom of the lake, he went ashore and entered the bamboo forest, feeling out of his body.
Immediately, the spirit floated out of the bamboo forest and landed on the roof of the Moon Tower.
Bathed in the sunset, the soul is running.
A strange light in the body slowly flowed up and down the body.
Before you know it, night has fallen.
When a silver moon rose in the air, he returned to his mind and left the moonlit night to listen to the rain garden.
Back to the courtyard.
Fluttershy is boiling hot water in the kitchen and heating up her meal.
Luo Qingzhou was already hungry, and after gobbling up and eating, he began to drip tendon refining potion into the bath bucket to take a bath.
Lying comfortably in the hot water, feeling a trace of energy penetrating into the body through the skin, slowly moisturizing the tired and sore fascia, and the comfortable whole body trembled slightly.
The pale green potion in the water is quickly absorbed.
Fluttershy stands behind, rubbing his back as she stretches her neck and stares wide into the bucket.
The water in the bucket gradually became clearer.
Her eyes widened.
"Wow!"
Just as she was about to see it clearly, Luo Qingzhou suddenly stood up, gave her a look at her buttocks with water droplets, picked up the bath towel next to her and said, "Look at the fart, take the clothes." ”
"Uh-oh."
The little girl obediently glanced at his ass again, and hurriedly ran over to get his clothes.
Clean up the room.
Luo Qingzhou closed the door, took out the Jianwu Stone, held it in the palm of his hand, and checked the current body data.
[Strength: 1800]
[Speed: 15]
[Combat Resistance: 900]
[Mental Power: 36]
The effect of cultivation is obvious.
The strength has increased by two hundred, and the speed and resistance have increased a bit.
The most obvious is the mental power, which directly increases by four points.
It seems that as long as he continues to cultivate the Divine Soul, it may be that as the Yue senior said, he will soon break through.
From tomorrow, he decided that when there was a morning sun, a sunset in the evening, and a night, he would cultivate the divine soul.
In a few days, when the scorching sun is thick at noon, he will try it too.
I hope to be able to break through to the realm of imperial objects before the Chinese New Year.
Put away the Jianwu stone.
He confesses to Fluttershy and goes out.
When I came to the Cicada Moon Palace, the courtyard gate was closed, and there was the sound of "swishing" sword practice in the front yard.
He hesitated and knocked on the door.
The sound of sword practice stopped for a few seconds, and then continued to sound.
However, no one came to open the door.
Luo Qingzhou waited for a while, and then continued to knock on the door.
Still no one came to open the door.
"Bailing!"
He knocked on the door and shouted.
shouted a few times, and a cold snort came from inside: "Bailing is not here!" ”
Luo Qingzhou: "......"
"Miss Xia Chan, open the door!"
"Miss Xia Chan is not here either!"
Bai Ling snorted coldly again.
In the courtyard, the sound of sword dancing became louder and louder.
"Is the eldest lady there?"
"Not here!"
Luo Qingzhou stood at the door for a while, and had to say, "Okay, I'll go back." ”
He was about to leave, hesitated, but still said: "If it's because of going to the Qinglou, then I apologize, I should tell you in advance." But I can assure you that I didn't mess around with any of the women in there, I swear. ”
With that, he turned to leave.
After a while.
The courtyard door squeaked open.
Bai Ling stood at the door, stretched out his head, looked left and right, and then pouted and said angrily: "Stinky uncle, if you really leave, can't you say a few good words to others, bah, and Chanchan?" Dislike! ”
The sound of sword dancing in the courtyard stopped.
Under the bright moonlight.
The girl in a light green dress had her chest rising and falling slightly, sweat was flowing down her cheeks, a few strands of hair were sticking to it, the sword blade in her hand was cold, and her pretty face was still as cold as ice.
"Stupid Chanchan, stop practicing, what's the use of practicing well? People don't pay attention to you at all. People will have to take the top exam in the future, and when the time comes, they will have an official body, and they will be surrounded by guards, so they don't need your protection. ”
Bai Ling was indignant when he saw her practicing swords hard.
The girl under the tree clenched the sword in her hand, gasped silently for a while, and continued to practice.
"Whew! Swish! Swish! ”
The figure under the moon, the green silk is flying, the skirt is dancing, and the cold light around the body is dotted, illuminating the entire courtyard.
Luo Qingzhou returned to the courtyard, talked to Fluttershy for a while, and went to the backyard to continue practicing the "Plum Blossom Flying" boxing technique.
It was close to the wee hours of the morning.
He went back into the house, locked the door, took the handkerchief from his bosom, and put it out the window.
Then he closed the window and went to bed.
Calm your mind and go out of your body.
The spirit passed through the window, took the snow-white handkerchief, floated into the air, and flew quickly towards the Heavenly Immortal Tower.
After a while, the brightly lit Tianxian Tower had already appeared in sight.
He cautiously approached from high in the air and slowly drifted towards the transparent orb on the roof.
When the orb suddenly began to flicker, he immediately pulled the handkerchief with his soul power and quickly floated down.
"Poof!"
The transparent orb was about to burst into light when the handkerchief suddenly fell and covered it.
The flickering light in the orb was extinguished in an instant, and it fell into the initial calm.
Seeing this scene, Luo Qingzhou secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and became more and more grateful and admired for that Yue senior.
Immediately, he quickly floated towards the backyard of the Tianxian Tower from mid-air.
As you pass by the back door, you look down.
The burly figure was leaning against the big tree not far from the back door, dozing.
Luo Qingzhou took a closer look in the garden again, but found no one else, so he continued to float forward.
Soon came to the pond and the little bridge.
He stared at the other side of the bridge, cautiously drifted over, and looked down, under the big tree at the head of the bridge, a figure was sitting there, as if he was closing his eyes and cultivating internal strength.
Luo Qingzhou carefully observed the other places again, and after seeing that there was nothing abnormal, Fang quietly continued to float forward.
Soon, he came to the bamboo forest.
Drifting into the bamboo forest, he came to the sky above the small courtyard, overlooking down, the small courtyard was quiet, and there was no one.
Several rooms were also pitch black, and there was no movement.
He was not in a hurry, and waited in mid-air for a while, and Fang cautiously floated down.
The closer he got to the small courtyard, the more vigilant he became, his whole body tensed, his mental power was highly concentrated, and he was ready to jump into the air at the fastest speed at any time.
But until he floated to the roof, nothing unusual happened.
He secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and listened to the room.
The room was silent, and no one seemed to be there.
Odd?
Has it been transferred?
Or did you just go out at this time?
He wondered.
Immediately, he pierced through the roof, floated into the house, and silently landed on the beam, looking down.
The house is very basic.
Nothing but seats and beds.
All the houses were empty and dusty, and there was no one or any sign of any habitation.
This made him even more puzzled.
That night, I saw the woman in the green dress come in with the person named Zhang Gongzi, and under the big tree at the head of the bridge, there was still a warrior guarding, how could there be no one in this house?
Luo Qingzhou searched all the rooms, but found no traces of occupants, and he was puzzled.
He floated out of the house, observed in the courtyard for a while, and then drifted all the way to the door where the two had walked that day.
Immediately, he floated in through the door.
His gaze looked through the darkness and suddenly to the ground.
A few footprints clearly appeared on the ground!
The room was covered with dust, so those few footprints could be seen very clearly in the sight of the spirit.
His heart moved, and he immediately followed the footprints to the room in the back room.
Immediately, he stopped in the corner in front of the window.
The footprints disappear here.
His gaze froze, and he drifted to the ground, suddenly realizing that he seemed to be able to penetrate the ground directly.
He'd tried it a few times before, even in his room. Nor can it penetrate the ground.
And last night, I heard from that senior Yue that there is some kind of prohibition underground, and ordinary gods and souls cannot enter.
Now he can go in.
That means that the underground is not underground, but there is a dark room!
His heart suddenly lit up, and immediately he became short, carefully penetrated the floor, and floated down.
Sure enough, it's empty down there!
First, there was a dark passage, and then, at the corner in front, there was a faint light.
He floated silently down the top of the passage.
When I came to the corner, I suddenly found that the front suddenly opened up, and it turned out to be a spacious stone room!
At this time, there were oil lamps lit in the stone room, and a group of people were talking together.
In the corner next to him, two young women sat in a whisper.
Luo Qingzhou counted carefully.
There were six people around the table talking, including four young men and two middle-aged men.
There were a few maps on the table.
One of the middle-aged men pointed to the map and spoke with a gloomy face.
The blood in the house was vigorous, like a flame burning.
Obviously, the people in the house are all warriors.
Luo Qingzhou stared at it and found that three of the young men and two women were quite similar to several of the fugitives from the Song family!
There are not only portraits of fugitives in the city, but also portraits and identity information of various members of the Song family in the Song family materials that Zhu'er brought him.
It seems that he was not wrong in his guess!
What is hidden here are the fugitives of the Song family!
In addition to the children of the Song family, several other people may be the guards of the Song family.
Now they have all become treacherous sinners, and they will definitely die if they are caught by the government, so they get together and are ready to take revenge on the Qin family desperately!
Luo Qingzhou cautiously approached, wanting to hear what they were saying, but as soon as he floated in from the door, he suddenly felt a hot blood rushing to his face!
One of the middle-aged men frowned, as if sensing something, raised his head, and looked at the location of the door.
Luo Qingzhou was shocked, and hurriedly burrowed into the wall next to him, holding his breath and concentrating, motionless.
The middle-aged man glanced suspiciously at the door, and then looked back at the map on the table.
Luo Qingzhou's whole body tensed, and he didn't dare to continue to move forward.
The room was full of martial artists with strong qi and blood, he was now just a god soul in the realm of day travel, if someone else punched out of thin air, it was estimated that he would be hit hard.
If he is discovered, he will do it together, and his blood will be like a rainbow, and he may be scattered on the spot.
Just as he was about to leave, two figures suddenly walked in quickly at the entrance, a man and a woman.
The short man was carrying a sack with scarlet blood oozing from it.
The woman followed, a sword in her hand and a few pools of blood on her clothes.
As soon as the man and woman entered the door, they attracted the attention of everyone in the room.
"Uncle Zi, how's it going? Nothing happened, right? ”
The middle-aged man, who had just been pointing to the map and talking, asked.
The short man stopped in the light of the doorway, and with a sinister smile on his lips, he suddenly opened the sack in his hand and poured out the contents of it.
"Gollum ......"
Five bloody heads suddenly fell out of the sack and rolled on the ground.
The woman holding the sword behind him sneered: "The shopkeeper of the two shops, the housekeeper of the two manors, and the woman of the garment workshop are all surnamed Qin. ”
The people in the room looked at the heads on the ground, and their faces were full of hatred.
"Good! Good kill! ”
"You're not being followed, are you?"
The short man sneered: "Originally, we wanted to go to the mansion of the fourth master of the Qin family, but we were discovered by the guards in the mansion. We got rid of them in the alley, and they didn't dare to chase us any longer. Rest assured, no one is coming. ”
"Excellent! It is to assassinate them one at a time, so that they live in fear every day! ”
"Uncle Zi, call the rain, come and look at the map. There is a good opportunity tomorrow night, someone from Chengguo Mansion will come to inform you during the day, and Qin Wenzheng's family may go to Chengguo Mansion for a banquet tomorrow night. At that time, there may only be their second daughter and other maids in the Qin Mansion, I don't know if the son-in-law will go, it is said that the son-in-law and their eldest daughter should go......"
"When the time comes, we will go out together to wash the entire Qin Mansion in blood! Kill all the people left in the house, and leave no one behind! ”
"Uncle Ming, could it be a trap?"
"Hmph, don't worry, that person was sent by Mrs. Wang of Chengguo Mansion. That Mrs. Wang wished that the concubine died earlier, and she wished that the Qin family would all die. She and Cheng Guofu were almost implicated, how could they help Qin Wenzheng and those people? ”
"Rest assured, our goals and interests are aligned. Tomorrow night, while Qin Wenzheng is leaving, we will dispatch, and when the time comes, we will kill them and make them pay for the blood debt of the Qin Mansion! ”
"Good!"
The ten people in the room were all agitated and full of hatred on their faces.
Luo Qingzhou glanced at the five bloody heads on the ground again, then quietly withdrew from the wall and left the passage silently.
When he came out of the ground and floated to the surface, he took a few deep breaths, then penetrated the roof and floated out.
He quickly floated to the top of the Heavenly Immortal Tower, and then used his soul power to pull and take the handkerchief.
As the orb on the roof shimmered, he immediately took his handkerchief and left as fast as he could.
Rushing all the way to the wind, what lingered in my mind were those bloody heads.
He didn't go to the Mandarin Duck Tower again, but returned directly to the Qin Mansion.
Just about to float into the small courtyard, he suddenly saw a familiar figure standing at the gate of the small courtyard.
Dressed in a green dress, with a thin body and a sword in her arms, she stood motionless in the doorway like a sculpture, her long supple hair swaying in the night breeze, and the look on her cheeks was still as cold as snow.
Luo Qingzhou glanced at it a few times in mid-air, returned to the house, and returned to his senses.
He just opened the door and walked out.
"Squeak......
When he opened the courtyard door, he immediately said outside: "Xia Chan, I have something to ask you for." ”
The cold girl who was still standing at the door just now, at this time, was already ten steps away, standing behind a big tree, and seemed to be preparing to hide in the flowers next to her.
But Luo Qingzhou's words made her stop suddenly.
Luo Qingzhou walked out of the door, looked at her motionless figure and said, "Xia Chan, I did go to the Qinglou that night, but I was here to find someone, to find those people in the Song family." I went tonight too, I found them. So, I want to ask you for help. ”
The girl stood behind the tree and was silent for a moment, then turned to look at him.
Luo Qingzhou walked over, took out a hairpin from his arms, handed it to her, and said, "I bought it for you when I visited the night market last time, but you didn't ask for it, maybe you think it's useless." This time, I hope you will accept it. ”
The girl's gaze fell on the jade hairpin in his hand, the look in his eyes was in a trance, and before he could reply, Luo Qingzhou approached her, gently inserted the jade hairpin in his hand on her head, took a look back, and said, "It's beautiful." ”
After a pause, he said: "Miss Xia Chan is already very beautiful, and after wearing this jade hairpin, she will be even more beautiful." ”
He hesitated for a moment, and added, "Prettier than a lark." ”
The girl's eyes looked at him, as if she wanted to reach out and take off the jade hairpin on her head, hesitated for a moment, and did not move, and in her other hand, she clenched the sword in her hand.
"Let's go, go to my house, I want to tell you about my plans for tomorrow."
Luo Qingzhou invited softly.
The girl stood still.
Luo Qingzhou suddenly walked in front of her, grabbed her cold little hand, and couldn't help but say, turned around and walked towards the small courtyard.
The girl followed him, looked at the hands held by the two, bowed her head slightly, did not speak, did not struggle, and was obediently and skillfully pulled into the small courtyard and into the house......
Wait for the courtyard door to close.
Behind a big tree outside, a slender figure in a pink dress slowly walked out.
She looked at the closed courtyard door, stunned for a moment in the moonlight, Fang turned around, alone, bowed her head, and left silently.
