Chapter 35 The Strange Plum Tree

Early the next morning, when Huang Xue woke up, she saw that she was lying on the dragon couch in the upper study, and Shang Wang, Huang Yan and Chanyu were all gone.

Huang Xue was shocked, hurriedly got up, jumped off the dragon couch and ran out.

When I went out, I saw that in a small pavilion in the garden outside, King Shang was talking with Huang Yan and Chanyu.

Seeing Huang Xue coming, King Shang said angrily: "The beauty has gotten up." ”

Huang Xue hurriedly saluted: "The concubine slept late, and asked the king to forgive her sins." ”

King Shang waved his hand and said: "It's okay, I think it's because I've been sucked some energy by monsters these days, and I'm a little tired, so I should sleep more." ”

Huang Xue listened to the tone of the Shang King and asked, "Can the king check with Huang Guifei and Yang Fei?"

The King of Shang nodded and said angrily: "I have already asked, there are monsters doing evil in my Great Shang Palace, do you really treat me as nothing?"

Huang Xue said: "King, I don't know what to do now?"

King Shang said: "Wait a minute, I have already sent the ministers to come to discuss." ”

Chanyu suddenly exclaimed on the side at this time: "King, don't do this." ”

Shang Wang Qi said: "Why?"

Chanyu said: "Back to the king, this monster should still be singing at this time, as far as the courtiers know, the monster is good at changing, and its body may change to anyone who is a court song, the ministers of the court, and the palace concubines are suspicious." If the king wants to investigate this matter, if he is made known, will it not be a surprise?"

The Shang King was furious, "If that's the case, doesn't it mean that anyone around me may be changed by a monster?"

Chanyu said: "It is indeed possible, please be cautious." ”

When the king of Shang heard this, he was silent.

Huang Yan interjected: "The king, the courtiers think that the father King Wucheng and the brother Huang Tianhua are both excellent in martial arts, and they will not be easily harmed by monsters, so the king can summon his father and brother to come to discuss." ”

When King Shang heard this, he thought for a moment and nodded. King Wu Cheng and Huang Tianhua are both masters in Chaoge City, if they can be easily killed by monsters, then this monster is inevitably too powerful.

Thinking of this, he said: "In this way, the generals Chao Lei and Yin are also good at martial arts, so they should be able to believe it." ”

After thinking about it for a while, the king of Shang said again: "It's a pity that these people who can be used are all martial artists, but there is no one to plan for us. ”

When Huang Xue heard this, her heart moved, and she suddenly remembered Yaxiang Zigan. In the TV series, he was later dug out of his heart and died, so naturally it was impossible for him to be killed by a monster at this time, so she spoke: "Your lord, the concubine thinks that Lord Yaxiangzigan can also be trusted." ”

Shang Wang Qi said: "Why?"

Huang Xue thought about it for a moment and said, "The concubine once heard the immortals say that Lord Yaxiang is a Wenqu star, so naturally he will not be harmed by demons. ”

The Shang King exclaimed, "Is that really the case?"

Huang Xue said: "With such a big event, how dare the concubines deceive the king?"

King Shang said: "This is very good, and wait for me to pass these people into the palace to discuss." ”

More than half an hour later, King Wucheng, Yaxiang Zigan, General Chao Lei, Yin Rui, and guard Huang Tianhua all came to the Nine Palaces to face the king.

As soon as the five of them entered the palace gate, they saw the king of Shang sitting on the dragon chair in the center, Huang Xue standing beside the king of Shang, and Huang Yan and Deng Chanyu standing under the steps.

King Wu Cheng only said that Huang Yan had caused some trouble again, and he was shocked, so he was about to open his mouth to scold, but when he turned his head, he saw Huang Xue shaking his head at him slightly, and he didn't know what he meant, so he didn't say anything.

After the five people met the king of Shang, the king of Shang told the five people about the monsters in the palace, and the matter was said by the mouth of the king of Shang, so naturally they couldn't believe it.

The five people were shocked when they heard this, and after a while, Zigan said: "King, if there are really monsters, when the decree invites talented people from all over the world to come to the palace to eliminate demons." ”

King Shang shook his head and said: "This matter still needs to be kept secret, if you give an order to eliminate the demon, it will be known to the world, if you let the monster know, I am afraid it will be self-defeating." ”

King Wucheng also said: "The king, the ministers and dogs know the residence of some immortal people, so it is better for Weichen to go and find it for the king." ”

When the king of Shang heard this, he was a little pleased, nodded and said, "That's very good." ”

When Huang Xue and the three girls heard this, they all looked at each other, not knowing how to speak. After a long time, Huang Xue said hesitantly: "King, father-in-law, this matter ........ Fear....... It doesn't work either. ”

Wu Cheng Wang Qi said: "Why doesn't it work?"

Huang Xue said: "The reason for this, I am afraid that the king will be displeased when he hears it, but the concubine does not dare to say it." ”

The king of Shang waved his hand and said, "Beauty, but it doesn't hurt to say, I forgive you for your innocence." ”

So, Huang Xue said that Nuwa hated the king of Shang and that the immortals in the world did not dare to interfere.

Hearing this, everyone was stunned for a while, and they all looked incredulous. Zigan first opened his mouth and questioned: "Nuwa is the god of ancient righteousness and the blessed lord of the song, how can she ignore the lives of her people because of such a trivial matter? ”

Huang Yan on the side interjected: "Lord Yaxiang, I personally heard what Yun Zhongzi Immortal Chang, a disciple of Yuan Shi Tianzun, said in this matter, how can it be false?"

Chanyu also said: "There is indeed such a thing, Lord Yaxiang should not be suspicious." ”

Zigan heard that the disciples of the old mother of Lishan said this, so he had to believe it.

The crowd was relatively silent for a while.

King Shang said: "Everyone, Aiqing, in this case, what other strategies do you have? ”

Yin Po stepped forward and said: "King, General Chao and I will personally lead people to garrison the harem tonight, and we will not let the monsters disturb the king." ”

....... Such brainless words, everyone is too lazy to pay attention. The harem is full of concubines of the Shang king, so what's the matter with you taking a large number of sturdy soldiers to stay overnight? And if there were many people, if it was useful, it would not be the situation it is today.

Chanyu said at this time: "King, the courtiers heard Senior Brother Yun Zhongzi say that if the monster performs this spell, there will be things in the palace that set up the demon array, and there are many things in the array. As long as the monster's formation is broken first, the monster will no longer be able to cast spells to harm people, and the king can slowly think about it in the long run. The king might as well think about it, what is unusual in the palace lately?"

When everyone heard this, they all pondered for a while.

Zigan suddenly stepped forward and said, "King, could it be that you are not defeated Mei?"

When the king of Shang heard this, he also suddenly realized, patted the dragon chair and said, "It must be this thing." This tree was only planted in the palace this year, and it is very strange and often blooms undefeated. This tree must be the thing of the demon array. ”

After that, he passed the decree: "Chao Lei, Yin is ruined, you two immediately take people to cut down all the undefeated plums in the harem." The two of them hurriedly took the order and left.

Then the king of Shang said, "Who gave this tree?"

Zigan bowed down and said, "Wechen will go and investigate clearly." ”

The king of Shang nodded, and Zigan led the order to leave.

After a while, the king of Shang looked at the rest of the people, and when he saw that there was nothing to say, he waved his hand and said, "Come with me to the harem to have a look." With that, he led the way towards the harem, and the rest of the people followed behind him.

When the group arrived at the harem, they saw Chao Lei and Yin Rui commanding two wrestlers to cut down trees. Two wrestlers wielded sharp axes and slashed at the plum tree, which was no thicker than a child's arm, but there was a sound of gold and iron clashing, but the plum tree did not move. The two wrestlers were so tired that they panted like oxen, but they never cut down a single tree.

When Chao and Yin saw the king of Shang coming, they hurriedly snatched the big axe in the hand of the wrestlers and personally stepped forward to cut down the tree. But although the strength of the two men was much greater than that of the wrestlers, it still had no effect, and the plum blossoms on the tree fell one by one, but the tree did not leave a single mark on it.

King Shang said hatefully: "This tree is really a monster, and it can't be cut down!"

King Wu Cheng said on the side: "King, it is better to burn it with fire. ”

King Shang nodded and said, "Accurate." So, King Wucheng asked Tianhua to fetch fire and burn the tree with fire. But I don't know what made the tree, and it can't burn at all. Tianhua and a few guards were covered in sweat with torches, but there was not even a black mark on the body of the tree.

King Wucheng said again: "King, please dig up the soil and dig the roots. ”

The king of Shang hated it to the extreme at this time, and said: "Yes, but it is not wrong to destroy this demon tree." ”

There was a shovel that the guards brought to dig the earth, and Tianhua himself swung the shovel to dig the earth, but unexpectedly, the soil around the tree was harder than the stone, and the shovel was swung down, splashing pieces of sparks, but it did not hurt the soil in the slightest.

At this time, King Wu Cheng also had no idea, and King Shang looked at the plum tree with a gloomy face.

Seeing that it was past noon, the king of Shang asked, "I wonder if Lord Yaxiang can find out the news?"

King Wu Cheng said: "Then let the dog go to Lord Yaxiang to ask." ”

After that, he gave a few words to Tianhua, and Tianhua took the order and left.

After waiting for more than half an hour, Tianhua and Zigan ran into the palace together, both of them sweating profusely.

The Shang King asked, "Can Lord Zigan find out the origin of this demon tree?"

Zigan breathed a sigh of relief and replied: "Your Majesty, this tree is a gift from the doctor You Hun. ”

"You Hun!" King Shang shot two fine lights in his eyes, and shouted: "Chao Lei, Yin is ruined, quickly go and arrest You Hun to see me." ”
