Zhao Pu and Gongsun went to the palace again, pretending to be looking for Bao Zheng to discuss matters such as greeting, but Zhao Pu quietly told Bao Zheng about the little eunuch with a phoenix tattoo on his arm.

Bao Zheng also felt that this matter was not trivial, so he warned Zhao Pu not to startle the snake, and to pay attention to it secretly.

Zhao Pu found Nangong Ji and Gonggong Chen again.

When Gonggong Chen heard what Zhao Pu said, he was a little puzzled, "What is this......?"

"Father-in-law has a clue?" Zhao Pu asked.

"Oh, no." Gonggong Chen asked, "Can Master Zhan see clearly?" The palace attendants have strict rules that there should be no tattoos on their bodies. ”

"Oh?" Zhao Pu thought about it, but it was also true, the eunuchs in the palace were basically sent in when they were very young, and it was indeed unlikely that they would have tattoos on their bodies.

"But the old slave still went to check, just in case." Gonggong Chen went down to check secretly.

Nangong Ji was also a little worried, could it be that some strange person came to the palace?

Zhao Pu and Gongsun found nothing, so they had to go back to Kaifeng Mansion for the time being.

However, before the two of them could leave, they were intercepted by the eunuch Liu Gonggong in the Queen Mother's palace who happened to pass by, "Oh, the prince and Mr. Gongsun came just in time, and the Queen Mother is sending the old slave to Kaifeng Mansion to find Mr. Gongsun." “

Gongsun was slightly stunned and asked, "The Queen Mother is looking for me?" Feeling unwell? ”

"Alas, no, it's suitable!" The father-in-law covered his mouth and smiled, and said, "The Queen Mother wants to ask, does Mr. Gongsun have any research on numerology?" ”

Gongsun was puzzled, "Well, I just understand a little." ”

"Alas, Mr. is modest, Mr. knows astronomy and geography, who doesn't know." Gonggong Liu led Gongsun and Zhao Pu to the harem and said, "The Queen Mother is choosing a name for Princess Xiangxiang at this time, and I want to pick out some words according to the palace master's eight characters." ”

"Oh......" Gongsun understood, this himself can help.

At this time, the Empress Dowager's palace was lively, Zhao Zhen was also there, there were several books on the table, many civil officials were also there, and everyone was picking out all kinds of words.

The corners of Zhao Pu's mouth twitched, and he said in his heart, why don't you just give it a name, Zhao Xiangxiang is very good.

Gongsun walked in with a smile, and as soon as he sat down, a little eunuch brought him a cup of tea.

As soon as Gongsun raised his eyes, the little eunuch's hand crossed his eyes......

Gongsun was stunned, just now, he saw a little tattoo on the little eunuch's arm exposed on the white sleeve, although it was only a little, but Gongsun was still very sure, he just saw a little tattoo is the tail of a phoenix.

Gongsun frowned, and looked back quietly, the little eunuch was in his thirties, and his figure was very thin and inconspicuous. But Gongsun still felt that he was a little familiar, because he often followed the Queen Mother. At this time, he was also serving tea to Zhao Pu, and after serving tea, he stood aside with his head down.

Gongsun couldn't help frowning - it turned out to be a eunuch who had been with the Queen Mother for many years? He began to wonder if he had read it wrong.

Gongsun's happy face just now suddenly lost his smile, and although he tried his best to hide it, there was still a trace of doubt and shock revealed.

Zhao Pu didn't know if Lu Dao was paying attention to the changes in Gongsun's expression all the time, or if he happened to see it so coincidentally...... In short, Gongsun glanced at the little eunuch's actions, and looked in his eyes without a trace.

Zhao Pu's eyebrows raised slightly-oh?!

……

"Senluo Palace?"

In Kaifeng Mansion, the little fourth son held his face and asked Lin Yehuo in surprise, "What is that?" ”

Lin Yehuo held his face in trouble, and said, "As long as it rains heavily, I will dream of the same scene when I sleep, the fire is in the dim room, and it is very hot all around, and then I will walk alone on a narrow arch bridge, the bricks on the arch bridge are like gold, and under the arch bridge is a raging fire, and there are people struggling and howling in the flames, and it is so noisy all around." I walked across the bridge, and there was a large clearing in front of me, and the ground was full of seriously injured people struggling in the fire, as if they had just crawled out of the fire, and their faces were hideous. And I always felt that those people were so familiar, as if I had seen them somewhere, but I couldn't remember them. I kept walking until I came to a long pontoon bridge. There was water on both sides of the pontoon, the water was blood-red and there was a burning flame, and at the end of the pontoon there was a throne on which sat a man. ”

Xiao Sizi and Xiao Liang both opened their mouths wide and listened nervously, while Zou Liang also frowned, "Who is sitting?" ”

Lin Yehuo shook his head helplessly, "I don't know what to do, I can't see that person's face clearly every time, and I wake up." ”

"Haven't you seen it clearly?" Zou Liang frowned.

Lin Yehuo nodded, "Every time I was about to get closer and see more clearly, it was as if I was surrounded by flames, and then my body was also hot, and I was awakened, and I thought I was on fire too." ”

Zou Liang frowned, if he was haunted by this kind of dream as soon as it rained, then it was indeed no wonder that Lin Yehuo would be sullen as soon as it rained.

The fourth child felt that Lin Yehuo had a strange illness, so pitiful, "Why don't you tell your father?" Daddy might be able to cure it. ”

Lin Yehuo was helpless, "I'm not sick, I'm just dreaming, will Mr. Gongsun still interpret dreams?" ”

Xiao Sizi pouted and thought about it, "Then maybe there is a way?" Especially if you're hot or something, do you sweat in your dreams? ”

Lin Yehuo shook his head, "No." ”

"Hmm, that's weird." Xiao Sizi touched his chin and couldn't figure it out.

Xiao Liang was also holding his arms on the side and thinking about it, I wonder if Lu Dao had accidentally seen something strange? Or did you have the same dream yourself? Why do you tell the dream of the night fire, so familiar?

However, Xiao Liang also understands that he must have never been to such a terrible place, but it sounds familiar, do you want to write a letter to ask his father if he has ever been to such a place?

Zou Liang looked at Lin Yehuo, "You will live in the Western Regions, also because there is less rain over there, right?" ”

Lin Yehuo nodded.

"Then did your master say that...... About this dream of yours? Zou Liang asked.

Lin Yehuo thought for a while, "I said it, but it's no different from not saying it, he only said that everything is fate, be patient, don't be confused by any demons or something." ”

"Oops." Xiao Sizi was helpless, "Xiao Linzi, why does your master speak so profoundly,"

Lin Yehuo was also helpless, "It's been like this since I was a child, that big monk!" ”

Zou Liang frowned, always feeling that there were many mysteries.

"Hey." Xiao Liang suddenly raised his head and asked Lin Yehuo, "Since you are so afraid of rain, why did you come all the way to the Central Plains?" ”

Lin Yehuo flattened his mouth, "Actually, ......"

"Ryoko Ko." Xiao Sizi felt that Xiao Liangzi had asked a stupid question, "Of course such a serious disease needs to be treated, Xiao Linzi is here to find the reason, right?" ”

"Hmm......" Lin Yehuo didn't know whether to nod or shake his head.

Zou Liang looked at the two small ones on the side, and said quietly, "I'm afraid that long-term poor sleep will affect my skin, so I'll age quickly." ”

After Zou Liang finished speaking, Lin Yehuo covered his face and opened his mouth wide, "Can you see it?" ”

The corners of Zou Liang's mouth twitched, "That's not it, the skin is loose......"

Lin Yehuo's mouth opened a little wider, and then he saw the look on Zou Liang's face that seemed to be smiling, and the fire came up, and he was about to strangle him if he rushed over, "You dare to say that I am old again!" Dare to call me fat again! Slaughter you! ”

The two adults fought, and Xiao Sizi held his chin and shook his head, saying in his heart that Xiao Linzi was so stupid, how could he loosen his skin in his twenties. But Xiao Linzi and Mao Mao and Daddy are just the opposite, who is the cat and Daddy who says they are thin and they are mad, and Xiao Linzi is who says he is fat and he is mad, so interesting......

Thinking about it, he went to get a piece of mung bean cake to eat again, and turned his face to give Xiao Liang a piece, but saw Xiao Liang holding his chin and twisting a pimple between his eyebrows, as if he was thinking about something.

"Ryoko-chan?" The little fourth son called him.

Xiao Liang didn't seem to hear it, scratching his head and looking distressed, "Nima, where have you seen it?" Grandma can't remember?! ”

Xiao Sizi stuffed a piece of pastry into his mouth, and he was colored, "Don't swear!" ”

Xiao Liang looked at Xiao Sizi with wide eyes, and then raised his face - oops, I remembered!

……

Bai Yutang followed the man in black all the way, ignoring the man in black who was chattering.

Zhan Zhao carefully held Bai Yutang's knife and followed him in secret, he didn't dare to follow too closely, but he didn't dare to throw it too far, in case something happened, he could throw the knife to Bai Yutang in time.

In the distance, Tianzun and Yin Hou, who followed, were relatively relaxed.

Yin Hou looked at Zhanzhao in front of him helplessly, and the word "worried" could be seen from the back alone.

Tianzun followed while observing Yin Hou's expression.

"Ugh." After the last, Tianzun seemed to be unable to help it and asked Yin Hou.

"What?" Yin Hou looked at him.

"Did you find something?" Tianzun asked, "I thought you were weird from just now. ”

Yin Hou looked at him with a surprised expression, "You only found out that I was weird just now?" I've been blaming it for more than a hundred years, and you didn't notice it before?! ”

Tianzun looked at the sky and stretched out his hand to pull Yin Hou's hair.

"Hiss......" Yin Hou was dragged by him, and looked at Tianzun with wide eyes, "You light, the master is more than a hundred years old, what should I do if I can't grow bald?" ”

Tianzun squinted at him, what does that mean- do you say it?

Yin Hou Wangtian rolled his eyes, "I remembered something, the Silver Demon King didn't tell you before?" ”

"What are you talking about?" Tianzun was puzzled, "Don't sell Guanzi, you know that I don't have a good memory." ”

Yin Hou was helpless, and continued, "I have heard a saying about the Senluo Hall and the Shura Hall before. ”

"What Senluo Hall Shura Hall?" Tianzun was puzzled, "Hell?" ”

"Have you heard of the Demon Palace?" Yin Hou asked suddenly.

Tianzun raised his face, "Hmm...... Familiar. ”

Yin Hou nodded, "Familiar?" ”

"yes!" Tianzun was serious, "Where have I heard that...... Ah......h

Before he finished speaking, Tianzun's mouth was covered by Yin Hou, and the reason why he screamed was because Yin Hou pulled a handful of his hair.

Tianzun twisted his brows and touched his head, looking at Yin Hou, what does that mean-why are you pulling me?!

Yin Hou pointed to his nose, "Demon Palace!" ”

Tianzun blinked, "Oh......" He touched his nose a little sneeringly, "I forgot that you are the palace master of the Demon Palace, who asked you to ask this, didn't you react for a while." ”

Yin Hou looked at him with admiration, "What about the Evil Palace?" Have you ever heard of it? ”

Tianzun was stunned and shook his head, "What's the matter?" ”

"You haven't heard of it." Yin Hou hugged his arm but was a little surprised, and said, "The Demon Palace was the largest gathering place of evil demons back then, and it was a specific place, although the Demon Palace was not easy to find, but at least everyone knew that he was on the ground." ”

Tianzun nodded.

"But the Evil Palace is different." Yin Hou said, "I heard the old man Feng mention it back then, it was a refining furnace for practicing internal skills. ”

"Old man wind?" Tianzun thought for a moment, "Oh...... That white-bearded old man with so much internal strength. Furnace ......"

"Do you know the way of refining the furnace?" Marquis Yin began to seriously suspect the matter of the Evil Palace, and Tianzun also knew about it, but he forgot about it.

"I know the way of refining the furnace." Tianzun nodded, "At that time, it was rumored that there were holy places to practice several kinds of internal strength, the ice furnace to practice cold internal force, the fire furnace to practice to yang internal force, the iron furnace to practice rigid internal force, and the water furnace to soft internal force, a total of four furnaces, it is said that there are four underground palaces, right?" ”

Marquis Yin nodded, "I know that the location of the Ice Palace is the thousand-year-old Extreme Cold Island, and Yutang's grandfather should live there." ”

"Yes." Tianzun nodded, surprised, "The thousand-year-old Extreme Cold Island turned out to be an ice furnace?" I'll just say that Lu Xue'er's girl is like a popsicle, and Yutang is also so cold. ”

"Actually, you are also ......," Yin Hou said, "It's just that you were born on the top of the Tianshan Mountains, and it is also cold there, and your talents are different." ”

"Hmm." Tianzun touched his chin and motioned for Yin Hou to continue.

"As for the iron furnace, I heard that it is a soldier's ruin, in a ravine outside the fortress, leading to the ground." Yin Hou continued, "The water furnace is at the bottom of a pond under a dangerous waterfall in Wushan, and it seems to be a dangerous place where thousands of waters converge. And the furnace, that is, the Senluo Hall and the Shura Hall, is said to be in hell. ”

"Huh." Tianzun raised his eyebrows, "Why does this sound so unreliable?" After talking for a long time, what does it have to do with the evil palace? ”

Yin Hou smiled faintly and said, "Don't you know the Dao, the other three major furnaces in the world cannot be built, and you can only go to the spiritual land where the spiritual energy of heaven and earth gathers to find it!" ”

Tianzun nodded, but it is also, the thousand-year-old extreme cold, the deep ditch under the ground, and the confluence of thousands of waters, it is not something that can be built casually. ”

"But this furnace alone." Yin Hou raised his eyebrows, "It can be built!" ”

Tianzun frowned, although he was a little confused, but he was smart, so he asked, "Could it be that this evil palace is a man-made furnace?" ”

Yin Hou nodded, "Back then, there was a master who built a man-made underground palace, which was divided into Senluo Hall and Shura Hall, which was built in imitation of the legendary furnace, but after practice, he went mad......"

Tianzun's face changed slightly, "Didn't you burn to death, but went mad?" ”

Yin Hou nodded, "According to the Evil Palace, it was already very vast back then, and many people went to the furnace to practice internal strength, and there were thousands of sects. However, the palace master of the evil palace suddenly went mad, so he ......"

"So, the evil palace became purgatory, and all the people who practiced the exercises died inside?" Tianzun frowned, "Another tragedy created by a madman who has practiced martial arts." ”

"More is yet to come." Marquis Yin continued, "It is said that in order to make the fire of the Senluo Hall and the Shura Hall never be extinguished, the palace master of the Evil Palace made a lot of wax, which is enough to burn for a thousand years. ”

The corners of Tianzun's mouth twitched, "Is there such an evil sect?" No wonder it's called the Evil Palace, but it's not that there is no everlasting lamp, so what does it have to burn? ”

"The Evil Palace was built underground, and it is said that someone put down the jack at the end, so ......," said Marquis Yin, "the Evil Palace became a palace that burned all the time. ”

"The jacks have fallen, but the fire has not been extinguished?" Tianzun was puzzled.

"I guess there's a vent." Yin Hou raised his eyebrows, "I just heard about it, and he also heard about Old Man Feng, in other words, this evil palace has existed for a long time, but Old Man Feng said that there is a lot of resentment in that place, and the internal strength of the master is stored in the palace, although it is not a real furnace, but it has been burned for so long, it may be more powerful than a real furnace!" ”

"It's a mistake." Tianzun frowned, "What kind of Sen Luo Palace's ...... do you suspect Does it have anything to do with the evil palace back then? ”

"I'm more curious about what it would be like if someone really practiced there." Yin Hou said, and added, "By the way, I also heard Old Man Feng say that in order to ensure the efficacy of the furnace, all sides of the evil palace are repaired with gold bricks. ”

Tianzun was stunned for a moment and asked, "Isn't that the same as the Golden City that follows the fire?" ”

"Perhaps, the Dragon and Phoenix Ancient City has also become another furnace, and Chen Mao has achieved great success in it, so he came out to take revenge?"

"But what is he looking for tortoiseshells for?" Tianzun felt that there were some clues at any end, but he couldn't make sense at any end...... At this time, Yin Hou gently pulled him.

Tianzun also sensed that Bai Yutang and the others had stopped at this time, so the two of them jumped on a high branch and looked into the distance.

I saw a huge carriage parked on the side of a hillside deep in the forest.

The carriage was all black, surrounded by red lacquer painted with fire patterns, and looked very strange at night.

Zhan Zhao squatted on a tree a little in front of him, frowning and looking at it, slightly worried...... There are people in the carriage, and the internal force is strong, which is not as simple as an ordinary master.

At this time, I saw that the curtain of the carriage was slightly raised, and in the dark night, the person in the carriage was hidden in the carriage, and he could not see his face at all, but his hand stretched out outside, but he could see it clearly—the hand was miserable white, the nails were black, and the white hand like a dead corpse was covered with burn marks.

Bai Yutang stood in front of the carriage, and the man in black who guided him walked to the carriage and said a few words to the people in the carriage.

Then they heard a strange hoarse laugh coming from the carriage, which was harsher than the cry of the night owl in the quiet woods.
