The night was deep, and the dark blue sky was dark at some point, black as ink, like a ghost with a bloody mouth open, and it was heavy on the top of the head. The wind and thunder will rise.

The Qianyuan Palace was not affected by the dark clouds in the slightest, and the palace was full of dazzling colors, glazed tiles, white jade bricks, and jade utensils and pearl curtains. The nine-song cloister is lit with the Qiansha Palace lamp, swaying and fluttering in the night breeze, and the agarwood crumbs are scattered along the wind with this sway. Under the corridor, there are pots of golden chrysanthemums with angry words, and under the reflection of the lanterns of the Akane Palace, they are more and more dazzling and gorgeous.

In front of the hall, there is a rippling lake around the blue waves, and a flying dragon white jade bridge lies on it, like a wide jade belt tied around the waist of a pavilion girl. The white jade railing was lit with crimson lotus lanterns. One end of the white jade bridge goes straight to the palace door, climb the stairs, only to see a huge night pearl hanging in the middle of the door, there are mahogany tables and chairs in the left and right of the hall, the top is the wide golden dragon chair, that is the position of Emperor Zongwu. All kinds of delicate pastries and seasonal fruits on the table complement each other, the color and fragrance are complete, and the cup is changed on the banquet, which is happy.

Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was punished and grounded, it was after the banquet. At this time, he talked and laughed with hundreds of officials and guests, and he was in harmony. The crown prince is wearing a light gold dragon python robe, with a gentle smile on his face, listening to everyone's conversation, compared to the lofty talk of the sky, his words are few but can get to the point, but he is humble and polite, which makes people feel good.

The location of the cold palace is remote, and it has long been forgotten in memory, and there is no trace of festive atmosphere in such a grand banquet as the state banquet, and it is gloomy and gloomy. Walking out of the cold palace to pass through most of the imperial garden, looking from afar, the nine curved corridors on the Qian Sha Palace lamp, as if turned into a bean spark, swaying with the night wind, soaked in the night red like blood.

But suddenly saw three black shadows, gathered to discuss for a long time and then separated directions, one to the west, the other two to the east, quietly left.

The three of them were in a hurry, dodging the guards along the way, and if they really didn't dodge, they came out generously and bowed to them.

These three people are naturally Du Jiuge, Mo Qilan and Beitang Ao, who discovered the prince's conspiracy to force the palace to seize the throne. After the three of them separated, Du Jiu Ge and Beitang Ao walked towards the courtyard of the Praetorian Guards in the northeast of the palace, while Mo Qilan went to the gate of the White Tiger Palace alone, the gate of the White Tiger Palace was the largest of the four gates of the palace.

Moreover, this is the closest palace gate to the East Palace and the Donating Palace, and if anyone has bad intentions, they will enter from this gate.

At this time, in the imperial garden, only a very low frustration complained from the two people who were hurrying, "How can there be such a desolate place in this palace?" It doesn't look like a royal palace, it's more like a mass grave! ”

It's no wonder that Twilight Jiuge complained about this, but the way from the cold palace in the northwest corner of the palace to the Praetorian Guard barracks in the northeast corner was really desolate.

Beitang was silent for a long time, and said lightly, "You're right, the imperial palace is a hundred times more disgusting than the mass graves outside the city, this is a Shura field made of countless white bones. ”

Twilight Jiuge was stunned and looked sideways at him. The man's face, which had always been as bright as the sun, instantly showed a rare depression, not like a casual sigh, but as if he was feeling.

"Someone!" Beitang Ao suddenly reminded Twilight Jiu Ge in a low voice, and at the same time, his long arm stretched out his arms around her shoulders and swept into the half-human-tall artemisia grass next to her.

Almost at the same time as Beitang Ao's exit, Twilight Jiuge also felt the sound of footsteps approaching not far away, and immediately held his breath and hid in the grass with Beitang Ao. This piece of artemisia grass is so tall and dense that people can't see any traces when they hide in it. Twilight Jiuge couldn't help but think bitterly, it was really a good place to kill people and throw corpses.

Although the identities of Twilight Jiuge and Beitang Ao are not hindered in entering and leaving the palace, it is also possible to take a walk in the imperial garden. But this place is close to the Praetorian Guard barracks, and if anyone finds out that they are here, they will be shocked.

Twilight Jiuge and Beitang Ao had just squatted down, and the man had already arrived—it was a palace maid.

She was wearing the simplest plain palace clothes, and her steps were hurried and messy, and she stood not far from the two of them. Twilight Jiu Ge could even clearly see that this palace maid had a delicate face, but under the reflection of the moonlight, there was a panicked and tired look on that face. Fortunately, Twilight Jiu Ge also noticed that the other party's footsteps and aura were quite heavy, not like a person who practiced martial arts, otherwise at such a close distance, even if the artemisia grass was high, she would be able to spot them.

The maid cautiously looked around—of course, she couldn't see anyone—and then took off the basket she was carrying in the crook of her arm, lifted the cloth towel that covered it, and took out the contents one by one.

Wine bottles, a few side dishes, half a roast chicken - if there is some incense and yellow paper, it will taste like a grave.

Twilight Jiuge continued to think bitterly.

There weren't many things, so I quickly took them out and laid them out one by one. The palace maid was not too dirty, so she sat on the grass next to her, clasped her knees and muttered to herself.

"Today is your first seventh, but Miss won't allow me to worship you, but fortunately she has more important things, so I have time to slip out."

"I ...... I'm useless," the palace maid said, and suddenly her voice trembled, and when she heard the sad voice, she knew that she was crying, "I can't even find your corpse, I asked Miss, and Miss rewarded me with two slaps." I...... I can only come to your burial place to worship you, and if you have a spirit under the spring, you can dream with me......"

Twilight Jiuge and Beitang Ao glanced at each other, and they both saw a look of horror in each other's eyes. This place is really the place where people are killed and corpses are dumped!

The palace maid continued to cry, "What should I do when you leave?" You said that when I was released in three years, they would marry me, and we would do some small business and live in peace. I've been waiting for this day...... Who would have thought that you would be chosen by Miss to be the blood tripod ......"

Twilight Jiu Ge didn't know what the so-called "Blood Ding" meant, but Beitang Ao's expression changed! Twilight Jiu Ge looked at him in surprise, not knowing what the "Blood Ding" in the mouth of the palace maid was actually making Beitang Ao also show such a shocked look!

Seeing that Twilight Jiu Ge looked puzzled, Beitang Ao said to her, "I heard that there is a strange ** in this world called the Nether Seal. Once you cultivate, you will make rapid progress. However, you must know that everything in the world is equal, and to obtain extraordinary results in a very short world, you must pay a certain price, which is the reason why martial arts are not achieved quickly. However, those who cultivated the Nether Seal did not have this concern at all. Because all the backlash that arises in the course of cultivation is borne by the blood ding. ”

"Blood Ding, is the person who was selected by the cultivator to bear the backlash generated in the process of cultivating the Netherworld Seal, this person needs to be the same as the cultivator's eight characters, the breath is in harmony, and it is extremely difficult to find, because the backlash of the Netherworld Seal is stronger than any other ** backlash, and the higher the level, the greater the backlash. The Blood Ding only bears the backlash and does not get any benefit, and the flesh and blood body cannot withstand it for a few days at all, and it is extremely easy to die. ”

"Because the Netherworld Seal is too vicious to cultivate, it has been listed as a forbidden technique in the Xizhou Continent, and the world has not been allowed to cultivate it for thousands of years, but I didn't expect that there are still people practicing this technique in this Yanhua Palace today......"

After listening to Beitang Ao, Twilight Jiu Ge seemed to think of something, but she would not transmit the sound into the secret, and her words would inevitably alarm the palace maid, and she scratched her ears and cheeks in a hurry.

Beitang Ao noticed her expression and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

In a hurry, Twilight Jiu Ge grabbed Beitang Ao's hand and wrote quickly in his palm, "What can I do if I have cultivated the Nether Seal?" ”

Beitang said proudly, "This Netherworld Seal is a martial arts method, so it can naturally quickly increase the Yuan Force. Except that the cultivation process is more vicious, there are no other special functions. ”

Twilight Jiuge shook his head and continued to write on Beitang Ao's hand, "If someone is seriously injured, can it be transferred to the Blood Ding?" ”

Beitang Ao frowned and thought for a while, then nodded, "If it is an ordinary injury, it can theoretically be transferred to the blood ding." But if the injury is blessed with mental power, then the injury will live and die with one's own flesh and blood, and cannot be transferred. ”

Twilight Jiu Ge suddenly understood that the "Miss" in the mouth of this palace maid should be Su Shao without accident. On the same day in the western suburbs of the hunting ground, she was clearly injured by the strength of Du Jiu Ge, such an internal injury should have been ten days and a half months to get out of bed, but Su Shao not only had nothing to do, but a few days later, he had the strength to knock Du Jiu Ge off the cliff.

At that time, Twilight Jiu Ge felt very strange, but she didn't know that there was a "Nether Seal" in the Dao, and the matter was never solved.

But if this is the case, Su Shaoyao can completely transfer the injuries on her body to Xueding's body, and when she went back to retaliate that day, she only quenched the poison on the knife, but she did not bless any telekinesis......

No, no, that dagger!

Between the calcium carbide firelight, Twilight Jiu Ge suddenly remembered that at the moment when Su Shao was about to catch up with her, the dagger in her hand suddenly emitted a strong white light and saved her life. Later, she knew that it was Bei Jueyang who set a ban on the dagger to protect her, but now it seems that he did not just set a ban on that dagger.

Several thoughts flashed through Twilight Jiu Ge's mind in an instant, and he planned to ask Bei Jueyang when he was free, so that he would know if the person who cultivated the Nether Seal was Su Shao.

The palace maid is still crying sadly, telling the pain of losing the dead. Twilight Jiu Ge was very moved at first, but then she gradually became impatient - she still has important things, but she is not here to listen to the love story!

However, just when she was about to ask Beitang to order the palace maid's sleeping hole, she heard something that made her angry.

"The current blood tripod is almost gone, and according to Miss's cultivation speed, he won't be able to survive tomorrow...... How I wish that Miss would never find the Blood Ding again, and she would not be able to practice this terrifying kung fu. However, the young lady still found it, she had already set a trap, and she was going to arrest him tonight, and I heard that the person was the prince of the Yue Guo Mansion......"
