Twilight dim.

Su Jiu thought that there was nothing to do when he returned to Yunxiang Palace anyway, so he lit the lamp of the Zangjing Pavilion, sat down behind the table with a stack of ghost prison geography records, and read it seriously.

The so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, and understanding the geography and culture of the ghost prison is beneficial to her.

The night was like splashing ink, completely enveloping the entire Shangjing City.

Lu Zhi flipped through a page carefully, his fingertips were on the yang engraving font, and he did not continue to slide down.

After years in the dark, he developed a sharper sense of hearing than anyone else.

He heard that the medicine girl was also reading, and that she was turning the pages very quickly, and that she must be a very smart girl.

A few winter thunders rolled dullly, and fine snow gradually fell outside the Scripture Pavilion.

There was a clear silence in the library, Lu Zhi suddenly groped and sat next to Su Jiu, gently held her hands, and his voice was well-behaved and docile, "It's cold at night, I'll warm my sister's hands." ”

Su Jiuzheng was reading carefully, and he was startled in his heart, and hurriedly retracted his hand.

She frowned and looked at the young king incredulously.

He looked to be only about twenty years old, and if you ignored his pretense of old age, he might only be seventeen or eighteen.

It is said that the ghost prison is a place that eats people, but why did the king here have such a gentle temperament?

She held the vigilance and said softly: "There is a difference between respect and inferiority, and the king has self-respect." ”

Lu Zhi laughed.

After laughing, he was silent for a moment, and said, "Okay, there is a difference between respect and inferiority, I will respect myself." ”

He was next to him, Su Jiu couldn't read the book very well, and said tentatively: "Are you so gentle with everyone?" ”

She remembered that night in the mountain temple, he was also very humble and polite to Xiao Tingchen.

Why would such a person who abides by etiquette invade someone else's home and country?

even, even connived at his subordinates and killed so many innocent soldiers and civilians......

"I only treat those who deserve to be gentle." Lu Zhi said with a smile, "It's a fate to meet my sister tonight, I don't know where my sister studied and how did she serve by Concubine Fanxiang?" ”

Su Jiu said frankly: "I am a closed disciple of the Tianlan Mountain Lu Divine Doctor, and this time I went down the mountain not only to help the queen mother, but also to-"

She paused suddenly, and swallowed the words "heal the king" into her stomach.

The Hell's Palace is full of dangers, and she must keep a hole card to save her life.

Quietly touched the elixir hidden in the wide sleeve, this is her hole card to save her life, once she or Xie Rongjing's identity is revealed, she can use the excuse of treating Lu Zhi to save their lives, because she is the only one in the world who can save Lu Zhi.

"And for what?" Lu Zhi was curious, he didn't have a deep relationship with that uncle and grandfather, and he didn't know that his uncle and grandfather also had a female disciple who closed the door, but since it was Fei Fanxiang who personally brought him down the mountain, he didn't expect to cheat.

"To see the magnificence of the royal palace." Su Jiu lied in a low voice, "The folk girl was born in the countryside, and she has never seen such a good palace pavilion." ”

Lu Zhi became interested, "Then do you want to see the rare treasures I collect?" ”

Su Jiu raised his eyebrows, the rare treasures worthy of the collection of the Ghost Prison King are not secrets such as mountains and rivers?

She responded with great interest.

When he came to the palace where Lu Zhi lived, except for Changsheng squatting under the eaves with his face and taking a nap, there was no palace person serving in the huge place.

The palace was lit up with golden carved chandeliers, and she followed Lu Zhi through the beaded curtains and stepped into his dormitory.

Lu Zhi groped and pressed a wall mechanism, and the Bogu frame against the wall immediately moved slowly to the side, Su Jiu looked fixedly, and a secret room appeared in his field of vision.

There are many night pearls embedded in the secret room, all kinds of rare and strange treasures are piled up, and the gold orbs reflect the emerald green light of the pearls, almost dazzling her eyes.

She stepped in in surprise and picked up a phoenix crown to look at, "These are your collections?" This phoenix crown is a gift from the founding emperor of the Great Qi to the queen, and the emerald craftsmanship is at its peak...... There is also this white jade glass cup, which is said to be the most beautiful thing for the empress of Xichan Woman's country, and there are lipstick red marks on it! ”

I glanced at the other treasures, all of them were treasures that had been famous in the Central Plains for a long time but had been missing for a long time, but I didn't expect that all of them were collected by Lu Zhi one by one and found in the ghost prison.

Lu Zhi's face was slightly condensed, "Do you know the goods?" ”

When a layman looks at these treasures, he only knows that they are extremely valuable, but few people can tell the history.

Su Jiu knew that he was speechless, and remedied: "The days of seeking medical treatment in Tianlan Mountain are very boring, and I saw that there are classics about antique artifacts in Dr. Lu's study, so I read it." ”

"I see...... Lu Zhi's lips curled, grabbed Su Jiu's sleeve, and led her through the piles of rare treasures to the end of the secret room, "Look at this." ”

On the wooden shelf, there is a red lotus carved from gemstones, which is as big as a basin, the gems are crystal clear, and the carving is lifelike, and the value is not enough to describe its preciousness and rarity.

The most peculiar thing is that the red lotus has dozens of petals, most of which are blood-red, only the small petal near the stamen is snow-white, and the other petal is red and white.

Su Jiu blinked, "What is this?" ”

"Fire Lotus." Lu Zhi replied as a matter of course, "It is a treasure brought by the ancestors when they were exiled to the ghost prison hundreds of years ago, it is said that this gemstone lotus symbolizes the life of our Lu family, and when all the petals are dyed blood red, it is the day when the Lu family's bloodline completely dies." Changsheng said, now there are only two petals left that have not been dyed blood red, I have to lead the ghost prison to calm the world before they all turn red, this is the fate of our Lu family. ”

Su Jiu only felt ridiculous, "How can the fate of the family be affected by just a jewel fire lotus?" There is no such statement in the world, and even in folk tales, such absurd stories cannot appear. ”

Lu Zhi was noncommittal.

Su Jiu approached the ruby red lotus, and the texture of the red lotus petals was reflected in the dark deer eyes, as if red blood was poured into the crystal clear glass, and the wisps flowed quietly, as if they were alive.

She couldn't help frowning, and raised her hand to cover the gem petals, which felt cold and cold to the touch, as if with a slight evil aura, giving people a very uncomfortable feeling.

It's like ......

This ruby red lotus is a cursed thing.

This thought flashed through her mind, and a chill ran down the girl's spine, and she quickly withdrew her hand, and wiped it on the hem of her clothes as if she were afraid.

"The King?"

She turned to Lu Zhi, the young man who was still standing by the treasure just now disappeared, and the door of the secret room had already closed.

In the large, cold secret room, she seemed to be the only one left.

Su Jiu's heart suddenly skipped two beats, she didn't have time to think about whether Lu Zhi had discovered her identity, she hurriedly lifted her skirt and ran to the door, raised her white fist and slammed the door, "King? King?! ”
