Chapter 222: The Strange Black Tower
The sound of the arrival in the black tower seemed to be amplified, and it became even more weird, Lu Qingjin looked at Xiao Fuzi who was trembling on the ground, his expression was calm but he didn't say a word, Qin Zhao looked at him quietly for a long time and sighed: "Is it really that important?" Didn't you already know about Concubine Jiu'an? The Black Tower is nothing more than a legend. ”
Lu Qingjin smiled softly as if he recognized this sentence, and a gust of wind that came from where it gently blew through Lu Qingjin's sideburns, Qin Zhao's face instantly became extremely ugly, and before he could say anything, the voice of the guard outside the door rang out: "Your Majesty, the general has been waiting in the imperial study for a long time, do you want to see if it's time to go back?" ”
Qin Zhao stiffened for a while and didn't speak, until Lu Qingjin shook his head and smiled as if he saw his helplessness: "This matter is over here, you can go!" I'll just take a casual stroll here, and I'll have Xiao Si with me. ”
Xiao Fuzi ran out of the door as early as when the voice sounded, Qin Zhao could only nod when he saw this, and after a while, only Lu Qingjin and two people were left in the entire Black Tower, Xiao Si looked left and right and felt that his master still had no intention of going out, so he could only wilt and follow.
Lu Qingjin took a few turns in the black tower and found that this black tower was very peculiar, not only was it very empty, but there was nothing in it that could reach the upper level, let alone the ninth floor, this tower really looked like it was built for immortals who could fly without walking.
Lu Qingjin looked at the black and white mural and frowned and asked softly, "You have been in the palace for so many years, do you know anything else about this Black Tower?"
Xiao Si pursed his lips and sighed helplessly: "Niangniang's words are too embarrassing for me, this black tower is a famous hoodoo even in the previous dynasty, and we palace people can't hide every day!" Where will come to see, as for the legend, I don't know much about it. I only know that there are ashes of Concubine Jiu'an in it, but everyone knows that it is fake, and slowly no one is curious. ”
Lu Qingjin nodded and left slowly with Xiao Si, the moment the black tower closed the door, it made an amazing clicking sound as if something was loose, but unfortunately Lu Qingjin, who had already left, didn't hear it.
The two of them walked between the gray buildings as if they had been forgotten by the whole world, Lu Qingjin thought that it was okay to have something on his mind, Xiao Si slowly couldn't stand it anymore, and said while rubbing his hands: "Have you finished reading it?" Let's go back! Most of the palaces here are useless wall paintings, and they look too eerie. ”
Lu Qingjin just thought about the matter of the Black Tower and didn't pay attention to it, knowing that a cold wind was blowing before he became a little conscious, Xiao Si looked around tremblingly, as if he was afraid of something coming out of somewhere, Lu Qingjin looked at her scared look and shook his head with a smile: "Are you too bold, it's just a gust of wind, what else can you do in this deep palace?" ”
As soon as the words fell, there was a burst of laughter, the voice was hoarse and weird, as if it sounded in his ears, Xiao Si closed his eyes in fear and grabbed Lu Qingjin's arm tightly, Lu Qingjin felt goosebumps all over his body at this time, even if he didn't believe in any gods, ghosts, and ghosts, he felt goosebumps all over his body, but there were only two people left in the dark and dilapidated deep palace, and it was difficult to ask for help.
After a while, the voice slowly disappeared, Xiao Si opened his eyes and said with some cringe: "Niangniang really can't watch anymore, let's go back, this place is really scary, if you like to watch it, let's bring some people back in a few days." ”
Lu Qingjin knew that something was indeed wrong now, whether it was artificial or something else, it was not suitable to stay in this place, thinking of this, she took Xiao Si and slowly turned around and walked towards the Queen's Palace.
There was a sneer behind him, this time it was not far away, as if it was in his ears, Lu Qingjin quickly turned his head, and saw the little eunuch who took her away last time standing behind her, although his expression and movements were all deferential, but his expression was very weird, Xiao Si was so frightened that he screamed and couldn't stand for a while, and the little eunuch's miserable face slowly pulled out a mocking smile: "If the queen wants to explore the deep palace in the future, let's bring more people!" What can you do with this little guy? ”
Lu Qingjin was really taken aback before, but looking at the little eunuch's posture and appearance, he was obviously a living person, Lu Qingjin said while comforting Xiao Si beside him: "Isn't it because there are fewer people around me today?" If there is anything in my father-in-law, it is better to say it as soon as possible, otherwise if the emperor comes back, you really won't be able to leave, and I don't know if your master will save you at that time. ”
The little eunuch was not angry, smiled lightly and said: "Niang Niang is really smart, our master said that please don't go to the Black Tower in the future, the master himself has no intention of harming you, but if something happens to you in an ominous place for a long time, the master can't help it." ”
This sentence is not so much a warning as a reminder, Lu Qingjin nodded indifferently, his heart was already turbulent, I don't know if there is really the blood of the Xie family, Lu Qingjin feels that the truth of this matter is getting closer and closer to him.
Just thinking about the matter, Xiao Si next to him startled Lu Qingjin, Xiao Si trembled and pointed to the palace wall not far away and said, "Didn't Niang Niang just see it, that little eunuch entered from that wall, what can I do now?" Are we coming across something unclean? ”
Lu Qingjin looked at the cold wind blowing slowly and smiled softly, a few apricot blossoms on the other side of the palace wall elegantly threw out the petals, Lu Qingjin took Xiao Si and walked not far away and said, "What a strange thing is this!" It's just that some people are not willing to be lonely, and it is now lunch time and we should go back. ”
Even if Lu Qingjin didn't say this, Xiao Si had already followed quickly, it seemed that if Lu Qingjin hadn't walked slowly, Xiao Si would have run back a long time ago, and a long sigh came from the palace wall behind him.
The little eunuch who had disappeared just looked at the woman under the apricot blossom tree, and the woman slowly turned around as if she felt his gaze, although the face was a little old, it was still what Lu Qingjin had seen, and it was difficult to hide the vicissitudes and weakness in the peerless elegance, and there was a lot of indifference on it, just like the transparency and indifference after going through the world, with a slight helplessness.
