Chapter 13: Exploration

The joy of successfully bringing Bai Zetu back to his side only lasted for a few days.

Because the few people I know well in this Nine Heavens have not been heard from for more than ten days. At first, I was the only one who was bored and anxious, and after a few days, Bai Zetu also began to get used to it, and later, several little fairy attendants in Kaiyang Palace also sighed one by one.

One afternoon, Bai Zetu and I were lying on the grass in the warm sunlight of the garden with our eyes closed, when we suddenly heard a little fairy shouting excitedly, "The emperor is back!"

Bai Zetu and I jumped up almost at the same time, ran to the gate, and saw the emperor in a gray robe, and pounced directly, frightening the emperor so much that although his face remained unchanged, he hurriedly took a step back.

It turned out that Bai Zetu and I, as well as the little fairy attendants in the room, were happy too soon.

The emperor came back this time, just to come to see me, and to say hello to everyone by the way. Because he was about to leave for Frozen Sky City to help Ling Shuangying take care of the elves who were infected with fire and evil diseases. It is said that the situation in Frozen Sky City has become more and more unoptimistic recently, and at this time, the city lord Ling Shuangying is already in the city.

"Don't worry, your junior brother will be back with you tomorrow. Throwing off this sentence, the emperor didn't return his head and left without beckoning the clouds.

The next day, the scorching string came.

It's just that when the fox comes back this time, it seems to be a different person, often depressed and depressed, always looking thoughtful. Although he still laughed and amused me when he was with me, there was always something sad in his eyes.

"Fox, what are you thinking?" I asked him earnestly as I put down my chopsticks as I ate.

"No, not really. He didn't raise his eyes, just hooked the corners of his mouth, and continued to pick up the rice.

"And where did you go the other day?" I asked, not moving my chopsticks, continuing to stare into his eyes.

"Help find someone, nothing. He still didn't dare to raise his eyes and answered me prevaricatingly.

The fox really doesn't lie, and he doesn't hide. Just looking at him like that, I don't think I should ask more.

Moreover, what is even more strange is that although the fox lives back in Kaiyang Palace, he always has to go out for a while during the day, and when he asks him where he is going, he will change the topic with a smile, and it has always been. My suspicions grew more and more serious.

And for a day, he did not return all day.

What's even more bizarre is that on the second day after the string didn't return all day, the Yuan Feng came.

"Ning'er, I'll stay with you in Kaiyang Palace for a while. "Yuan Feng is not much different from his usual feeling.

But I know that Genfeng can't hide anything like Burning String, he's a person who can't show anything. Although he still hid it well this time, the occasional distracted eyes still did not escape my eyes.

"Does the prince have something on his mind?" I quietly approached Yuan Feng, who was holding his head and not knowing what he was thinking, with a cup of tea.

He was really slightly startled.

"Oh, no. Ning'er, although as long as I am here, I will protect you. However, you still have to practice diligently and be careful at all times. Don't be like last time, if it wasn't for the frost shadow last time, I really wouldn't dare to imagine it......"

He took the teacup, set it aside, and looked at me fixedly, the starry eyes seemed to have a thousand words but nowhere to put them. He raised his hand slightly to stroke my long hair, but quickly put it back, smiled softly, and told me to go back to the room to rest earlier.

The smart and sensitive Bai Zetu also discovered everyone's strangeness for a while. But she doesn't seem to be as entangled as me, after all, the cultivation time is not short, and this Bai Zetu seems to be more transparent than me.

At night, beside the pillow, Bai Zetu comforted: "Bingning, there are some things, I know that there will be no real answer if I ask, it is better to go with the flow and let time tell you." ”

I pinched her long ears: "When did the little things become so zen, I don't care what they are thinking." Then, he fell into a deep sleep.

Today I am playing against Yuan Feng, of course, it is not so much a game as Yuan Feng is playing chess with me.

A little fairy attendant led a pink old man into the palace gate.

The fan man didn't wait for the others present to speak, dragged a stool himself, sat between me and Yuan Feng, and looked at our chess board with relish.

"Old Moon Immortal!" I exclaimed.

"Well, the old man is thirsty, you go and pour some tea for the old man. Yue Lao unceremoniously commanded the little fairy attendant on the side, and the immortal attendant hurriedly went to pour tea.

After serving tea, Yue Lao took the tea and poured it, and after quenching his thirst, he patted his chest and said, "Oh, how can this horn of Brother Wuyang be so far away!"

Eh, how come in the eyes of the immortals under the moon, everywhere is a horn.

"Oh, where did the Immortals under the Moon come from?" Yuan Feng was not interested, but he still cooperated with his chin and showed great interest.

No wonder the old immortals like him so much, he is really a typical example of gentleness and politeness!

"Guanghan Palace!" Yue Lao pouted: "It's not that I have time to thank Fairy Chang'e for returning the rabbit!"

I landed in the circle, one Guanghan Palace is not far from our "horns" at all, and it is the only way, and the other is obviously that I went to Chang'e Fairy to return to Bai Zetu, what kind of relationship does he have with his old age?

"But I don't know what kind of wind is blowing today, blowing the immortals under the moon to us to shine?" Yuan Feng naturally helped Yue Lao take away the empty teacup.

Yue Lao sighed: "I said my Feng'er, Wuyang is not here, what are you doing here? Don't you fall in love with this fairy maid in Wuyang Palace? But this girl doesn't talk much, you have to educate and educate well!"

Thunder rolls, thunder rolls!

Obviously, he promised to help me go back to Bai Zetu, but he didn't do it at all, I didn't blame him for not talking, he came to beat him up first!

"What is the Immortal Master talking about, how can I Bing Ning ever lose my trust to the Immortal Master?"

"You said that if I help you get the rabbit back, you go and clean it for me for three months, and give me ten or twenty years of spiritual power, but is there such a thing?"

"Yes, yes, but ......"

"Is that so?"

Yuan Feng and I are in the same voice, well, the content is not quite the same.

Yue Lao pulled his beard: "How many days have it been? Why haven't you reported to the Palace of Love?"

I looked at the sky and said, "The rabbit is coming back on my own!"

Hearing this, the old man's beard trembled again: "Is it?"

I looked at him and nodded heavily.

"Hey, you little girl! Young people nowadays, turning your face is faster than turning a book! Why are you coming back by yourself? Without the old man greeting Fairy Chang'e in advance, she would have returned the rabbit to you so easily? Do you know how much her brother Yu loves that rabbit? If it weren't for the old man, hum, tsk, the young man now, the old man was stunned, so stunned!" Yue Lao looked like an old tear and was heartbroken, of course, I didn't see half a tear when I looked closely.

Well, when he said that, I was a little convinced.

Yue Lao Er didn't say a word, and stuffed my arm under his armpit: "Let's go, be a fairy and talk about it, the boy who cleans my house happens to be sick, you go to make up for it, make up for it!"

Yuan Feng didn't know what to do for a while, and a gentle smile was on his face: "Immortals under the moon, don't delay for two days, and wait for the emperor to come back before ......."

"When he comes back, he came and went without a trace, and the old man waited for him to wait for what year and month?" The old man looked at me sadly and continued to choke: "Ice girl, aren't you also fascinated by my wind? Can you not be a murderer, you rob a man with her, and you must not be ground into powder and crushed into slag by her? Follow me to the palace of love, the old man is in charge of marriage, the old man chooses a wishful husband for you, it is really not enough, two or three are fine!"

"Ahh

"That, Immortal Master, why don't I report to the Palace of Love tomorrow?"

"Really?"

Seeing me nodding, the folds on Yue Lao's face finally spread out, "That's okay, the old man is also looking for a room to live here today, well, let's live in Brother Wuyang's room, and we will go to the Palace of Love together tomorrow, hehe!"

The thunder of heaven has just rolled a few times, and now it is rolling back together.

Unexpectedly, in the midst of some tugging and entanglement, Ye Yu suddenly broke in, without the guidance of the little fairy attendant, he still had his usual gloomy face, leaned over and said something in Yuan Feng's ear, I didn't hear half a word at all.

But I'm sure he must have said something very bad, because, as soon as he finished speaking, Yuan Feng's complexion changed imperceptibly.

"Ning'er, you can go to the Palace of Love with the immortals today, and be more careful yourself. He hurriedly said this, patted me on the head, and left Kaiyang Palace with Ye Yu quickly.

Everything has been so unbelievable lately that it's hard to imagine.

Yue Lao was a little stunned, and then smiled happily: "Very good, very good, the old man is very relieved, relieved!"

Bai Zetu saw that I was going to leave with Yue Lao, and jumped into his sleeve smartly.

Yue Lao happily took me and Bai Zetu to the Palace of Love.

Familiar places, familiar breaths everywhere. It's strange to say, for those 20,000 years, I have been fixed on the opposite side of the dust viewing mirror, and I have never seen other places in the Palace of Love, why do I feel so familiar.

"Alright, Ice girl, rest today, and start cleaning tomorrow. The old man is also sleepy, you can play with your pet beast by yourself, the old man is going to sleep for a while, that is your room. ”

Yue Lao pointed to a side room, pinched my face, and yawned and went to his dormitory.

This palace of love is not like other palaces, I found out last time I came, there is not a single fairy maid, it is very empty. However, although there are no people, they are indeed full of joy, I think it is because the surrounding decorations are pink and pink.

"Bingning, Guanghan Palace is near here, can I go play for a while?" Bai Zetu jumped on my shoulder and lay on my ear, two rabbit paws holding my side face, a coquettish and cute tone.

I squinted at her, "But you're going to play with that rabbit disciple?"

"Brother Yu is not a disciple!" Bai Zetu screamed at my ear with his throat pulled at his throat, almost bursting my eardrums!

"Hurry up, don't come back. I picked up her long ears and threw them at the door.

"Hee-hee, I'll be back in the evening, goodbye!" Before I could reply, she didn't know where to go.

This rabbit even said that I was heavy on color and light on rabbits, and I think she is the school of heavy color and light on the master!

Now I am alone, and I have come to an oak door, which is the place I went around when I came out to look for Bai Zetu some time ago. It was here that my map was blown away, and then caught by the Moonlight Immortals. Why is it that such a big palace of love, I have gone around here again.

Driven by curiosity, I pushed open the hidden oak door.

It was dim inside, but through the crack in my unclosed door, a glimmer of light could shine through. But the room looked so big that it was almost impossible to see what was in the distance.

It was still too dark, and I turned back, thinking that I might as well leave the oak door open.

However, strange things happened, as soon as my hand touched the oak doorknob, the door slammed shut as if someone was pulling it outside, and it could not be opened again!

I turned my head in fright, looked at the room where there was no light at this time, and large beads of sweat began to form on my forehead.

"Is there anyone?Old Moon Immortal Master!Is there anyone?Hey!" shouted desperately, I don't know if it was because the room was weird, this shout sounded so faint to me! Sure enough, there was silence all around, and no one answered!

I don't think I'm a cowardly person, but the atmosphere here is really weird and terrifying, and I'm scared to the extreme, even when I was forced to the blood river by the Red Lotus, I wasn't as scared as I am now!

Calm and reasonable!" I raised my hand, which was still trembling slightly, and whispered a mantra to conjure a candle. Although the light is weak, it can illuminate the road clearly.

When the spiritual power is used, I hate it less, and I regret that I didn't have enough energy to practice after arriving at Kaiyang Palace, otherwise I would be able to change into a bigger and brighter palace lamp at this time.

This oak door won't open, maybe there's a back door on the other side to get out.

I carried the candle and walked slowly in the opposite direction, hitting walls everywhere, going around and around! Be cautious all the way, as if facing a great enemy, and my breathing would scare me half to death if I breathed a little louder!

There's light ahead!

The light was getting closer and brighter, and I suddenly felt that the warm light was like the frost shadow I had seen in the Blood River last time, it was like a savior from heaven!

The light was like a demon flower that bloomed suddenly in the darkness, which made my eyes light up when I jumped into the light, and at the same time I was surprised!

Dust Viewing Mirror!

I've been staring at it for 20,000 years across the dust mirror in this room, and even though it's so weird now, I still can't mistake it!

Standing still in front of it, I looked towards the mirror.

There are no pictures and sounds of the year, no red dust, no sun and moon, no flowers, no mountains and rocks, no birds and animals, nothing, just a mirror like water, not even my reflection!

Everything was too weird, I couldn't help but stretch out my hand, learn what Yuan Feng did against the transparent glass of the Demon Punishment Ding, chant the mantra, and rotate my palm in the air.

The picture gradually appeared, the traffic in the mirror was so lively, and gradually the sound was there, familiar, people's booing and asking for warmth, bargaining.

It's really interesting, in the noisy and lively atmosphere in this mirror, my nervous mind gradually calmed down, and I didn't know where to give birth to a curious idea, and I did the previous palm rotation action in the air, and the picture disappeared, and only disappeared for a moment, and a completely different new picture appeared!

A boulder, exuding a strange glow, the boulder is engraved with two big characters with the ancient seal dragon flying phoenix dance:

Prison!

Two long shadows suddenly fell, one red and one white.

The two of them were silent, and they walked over the boulder without speed or slowness, and walked directly in front of the back of the boulder. The picture in the mirror moves clearly and appropriately with the path of the two men.

Even though I only have my back, I still recognize the scorching strings and the wind in the mirror at a glance. It was quiet in the mirror, the wind was blowing, and the surrounding grass and trees made a bleak rustling sound.

The fear returned, and it was like a snake burrowing into my internal organs, gnawing at my body, and I felt myself getting colder and colder, almost confronted.

This is obviously a dust viewing mirror, how can there be such a picture that is not mortal?

That's not the point, the point is, Burning String and Yuan Feng, what are you going to do in the prison?

Damn, I was so scared that I should have closed my eyes and stopped looking! But I couldn't control myself, staring at the backs of the two of them in the mirror, wishing I could get in and see what was going on!

I gradually felt an attraction to the Dust Mirror, and the more I concentrated on it, the stronger the attraction became!

The ghost sent the gods, I was full of spirit, mobilized all the spiritual power, perception and spiritual power, and passed through the mirror!

Falling behind them, I shouted their names and patted them on the shoulder, but there was no response. Moreover, I couldn't hear my own voice, and I couldn't touch their bodies at all.

I realized, I was just a ghost through the mirror, and now I couldn't see my body, and they couldn't feel me at all, so I had to walk silently beside them.

They stood at the gate of the blue brick prison, and their expressions were solemn and sad, as I had never seen before. Yuan Feng next to him had a cold face, his starry eyes were dim, and he reached out and gently patted the shoulder.

Then, Burning String took a deep breath and stepped into the prison door with Yuan Feng.

Inside the prison door, the prison wall came into view, and when you turned the wall, there were four corners, five doors, and a one-person wide corridor. Every corner is guarded by a fierce celestial soldier.

Every time Yuan Feng and the Burning String passed by the Heavenly Guard, they would bend down: "Prince", and then they would squint and glance at the Burning String next to them.

Although these heavenly soldiers looked as difficult to deal with as bulls and horses, because of the presence of the prince of the wind god, the two of them also passed all the way to the inside without hindrance.

Unexpectedly, at the last pass, the caretaker came up and said: "What is being detained inside is a repeat offender of the Heavenly Court, not an ordinary demon, and without the edict of the Emperor of Heaven, no one will be allowed to visit the prison." Your Highness, God-Monarch, please go back. ”

He sneered and said, "Don't talk nonsense with Benjun! If it's really as you said, how did Benjun get all the way here?"

Yuan Feng beside him immediately stretched out his hand and put his hand on the man's shoulder: "Suzaku Jun, my father and emperor only have one son, this prince, and there are some things, I don't think I need to say too clearly." Yuan Feng's eyes were sharp, and there was a trace of biting cold, and the cool breeze gradually rose around him.

The Vermilion Bird Jun hesitated for a long time, slightly looked sideways at the white and slender fingers of Yuan Feng on his left shoulder, and at this time the knuckles were distinct, pursed his lips, and retreated.

Then the two of them flashed through a half-man-high secret door, and I followed. The eerie cast-iron fence prison inside made me feel suddenly enlightened.

The four stone walls of the prison were cramped and dim, and a pot of flames burned faintly not far away. One of them sat with their back against the stone wall in crimson, closed their eyes and lowered their eyes, and fell into a dream. Instead of a trace of the despondency of being imprisoned, it reveals a bit of charm and ease of escaping from the world.

But seeing the scorching strings standing in front of the cell door in a daze, his eyes were filled with moisture, and his upper and lower lip flaps opened and closed slightly, and he choked with sobs that were about to break out of his throat, and trembled:

"Queen Mother's ......"
