Chapter 10: The Ghost World

The black gradually covered it, the coolness gradually thickened, and wave after wave of wetness came to the face. The five of them stood on a high hill, looking at the noisy green sea among the endless weeds.

The shadowless boy bowed his head and said, "Princess, ahead is the helmsman of the Underworld Sect." ”

Princess Jianing was a little dizzy, lifted her mood, and said with a smile: "Oh, why do I feel dizzy for a while?" ”

The shadowless boy smiled: "The princess doesn't know, this place is undulating, staggered, hundreds of miles, watching this scene is like a boat bumping, and it seems to have drunk countless cold greenery, which will lead to unbearable inner torment, so there will be a feeling of dizziness, and everything will be normal after arriving at the solid place underground." ”

Zhuge Yue put down his backpack, the night did not hide the outline of his smiling face, and said, "I'm afraid there must be something like losing people's hearts among these weeds." ”

The shadowless boy said: "Zhuge Gongzi is very knowledgeable, there is a unique primordial spirit ghost grass in this grass, the fragrance of this grass can be smelled and sniffed into the body, quickly disturbing the will of the moment, coupled with the complexity of the terrain, ordinary people have already fainted, haha...... I'll tell the princess about the rest, so please come with me. ”

The shadowless boy unfolded his short body, jumped up, and after a few ups and downs, stood in front of a swamp. Princess Jianing, Zifeng, and Zhuge Yue quickly followed. The shadowless boy raised his hand and shot out four yin and yang nails, and the yin and yang nails collided in the sky, knocking out three dazzling fire spots.

In the blink of an eye, a flagpole about 100 feet long was drilled out of the ground, and a large flag fluttering in the wind fluttered at the head of the pole.

A rumbling sound came from underground, and the open swamp was parted in an instant. Strangely, the water in the swamp did not flow downward, but turned around. When the swamp parted, hundreds of stone steps were revealed, which moved quickly and silently upward, then stretched horizontally for dozens of feet before remaining still.

The shadowless boy stretched out his hand to make an invitation and said, "Princess, Zifeng Messenger, Zhuge Gongzi, please!" ”

Princess Jianing smiled and walked towards the stone steps, obviously everything in front of her was incredible.

Zifeng followed behind the princess and asked, "Master Zhuge Gongzi, how do you feel when you look at the style of the Underworld Sect?" ”

Zhuge Yue said: "Although my family is proficient in the art of construction, it may not be able to make this kind of fortification alone, the fortification here is large in manpower, complex, and ingenious in structure, which is really amazing." ”

The shadowless boy laughed loudly: "Zhuge Gongzi doesn't know, it's only been four years since the completion of this place, I did consult your father Mr. Zhuge Ming, many of the design and construction are still his ideas, please!" ”

The sound of talking, footsteps, constantly echoed. Unlike the entrance and exit of the ancient cave, everything here is neat and artificially built.

The shadowless boy said again: "The new site project of the Underworld Sect involves several exercises such as dividing the soil and leading the water, so it is difficult to explain it clearly in one or two sentences, in short, the Zhuge family has helped a lot, so I invited Zhuge Gongzi to come as a guest." ”

"What I want to ask is, have the matters of soul attraction, requiem, and soul transfer of the Underworld Sect also been transferred here?" Princess Jianing asked suddenly.

The shadowless boy said very happily: "Most of the affairs of the Underworld Sect are still left in the Santong Ancient Tomb, but this place is also relatively complete, so I don't have to toss back and forth between the general rudder and the sub-rudder, please!" ”

Coming to a pair of vermilion gates, all kinds of red lights in front of the door have been hung high, and there are already two rows of people standing under the red lights, to be precise, people unique to the Hidden Spirit Continent.

The first person led the people to bow and bowed half-way together, saying, "Welcome to the sect leader." ”

The shadowless boy raised his hand and said: "No need to be polite, immediately order to go down, and prepare to go to the palace and wine and food to welcome the princess of Daqian Palace, the envoy of Zifeng, and the prince of Zhuge . ”

The man said: "The subordinates will prepare immediately." ”

Walking to a brightly lit hall, the shadowless boy said, "This is the helmsman of the Underworld Sect. ”

Princess Jianing looked at it, it was no different from the usual palace, and it might even be inferior to the palaces on other continents. But even so, there is no temple of this magnitude in the swamp?

Seeing the question on Princess Jianing's face, the shadowless boy said, "The princess may be wondering why a building of this scale can't be seen from the outside, right?" ”

Princess Jianing smiled: "That's true, this is amazing, right?" ”

"In fact, in the eyes of the Underworld, it is not magical, because the entire Hidden Spirit Continent is shrouded in a fantasy method, and we can already see the original appearance of this continent with good hearts, as long as the Underworld Sect makes some changes to the color outside these buildings, coupled with the abundant water vapor and the patchwork of the terrain here, it is enough to be invisible." Zhuge Yue explained the problem in just a few words.

Zifeng was reluctant: "Use your mouth more?" ”

Zhuge Yue smiled naturally: "The subordinates are rude!" The shadowless boy also smiled: "Zhuge Gongzi is reasonable, everything is true!" ”

"Come out and take a look, take a walk, it's really rewarding, it's much more fun than staying in the Great Qiangong." Princess Jianing rejoiced from the bottom of her heart, "I have to travel everywhere before I go back." ”

Unconsciously, she was a little sleepy, and as soon as she finished speaking, she yawned and smiled embarrassedly: "The sect leader has just returned to the helm, there must be affairs to be arranged, I am sleepy, how about I rest first?" ”

The shadowless boy said: "Okay, the rooms and so on are ready, the subordinates will leave first, come here, and send the princess to the palace." ”

A bewitching woman said: "Princess, please!" After speaking, she took Princess Jianing and the three of them to the left side of the main hall.

Zifeng looked at the bewitching woman and said, "Wow, wow, it's really rare for the Hidden Spirit Continent to have such a symbolic figure!" ”

"The Hidden Spirit Continent can't all be as ghostly as Cui Ming, otherwise how will the people here live, right, sister?" Princess Jianing obviously hasn't gotten used to being a princess yet, and calls the woman her sister.

The woman was just about to speak, Zifeng took over and said, "Also, there are living dead people everywhere, and looking at it makes people sad and depressed, and a little red in the flowers can also make people feel good." ”

Princess Jianing understood Zifeng's intentions, and she couldn't surrender her identity, right?

The woman smiled lightly again, and in the shallow smile, there was a kind of charm in her eyes, a charm that penetrated deep into the man's bone marrow. Princess Jianing looked sideways at Zhuge Yue behind her. Zhuge Yue's attention was all on the jagged buildings in the vicinity. His serious look caused Princess Jianing to smile slightly.

The stars are dotted and the lights are blooming.

The warm wind blew off the white and purple petals of the branches, and the bright red petals in the center fell like a rain of flowers, falling on the tile arches, in front of the light-lit windows, and on the flowing water of the small bridge.

The scent of stamens wafted into the room, into Princess Jianing's nose.

Princess Jianing sat at the table and slowly sipped tea, the delicate wolf lay on the head of the bed obediently after taking a bath and slept peacefully like a child, Zifeng held a small teacup in the middle of the ground. The two of them occasionally glanced out the window, and their expressions were much better.

Zifeng took a sip of tea and said, "You chased from the Great Qiangong to the Santong Ancient Tomb in the Hidden Spirit Continent, encountered the Cui Ming Rebellion and the Shadowless Boy to help, and when you came out of the ancient tomb, you met the annoying mutant eagle bat and red pig rat, is that right?" ”

"Well, you'll be here as soon as you get out of the tomb, and you know the rest of the story." Princess Jianing was also thinking about the daytime.

Zifeng asked, "That little second is Cui Ming?" ”

Princess Jianing smiled: "Yes." ”

"How did you find out that Xiao Er is Cui Ming?"

Princess Jianing put down the teacup, got up and walked to the window, and said: "This discovery is very simple, although he has changed his appearance, changed his voice, and changed it very thoroughly, but when he sent Xuanbing water and snacks, he accidentally revealed the scratches on his arms, because the body of the underworld sect is not an ordinary human body, it is as hard as a dead branch, so the scratches are very clear and cannot be repaired in a short time, and he is a little unfavorable when he walks, it was bitten by a delicate wolf, these two conditions are added together, it is easy to judge." ”

Zi Feng said: "Then why didn't he put poison in the Xuanbing Clear Water?" ”

"Because Zhuge Yue is already drinking Xuanbing water, Cui Ming is asking us to relax and drink, but that is just confusion, when we relax our vigilance, we will naturally not guard against his dim sum, but he never expected that the scratch would reveal his identity."

"Can Cui Ming be the murderer?" Zifeng drank all the tea and put the teacup on the table.

Princess Jianing said with certainty: "It's definitely not him, although his martial arts are first-class in the rivers and lakes, but he is absolutely not sure that he can get out of the situation in the Great Qiangong Palace, wouldn't it be a bad thing if he was caught?" What's more, he was a man, and the murderer was a young woman. ”

"From this point of view, Cui Mingzhi's mind is also out of the ordinary, it seems that the shadowless boy can't touch his pulse, I always feel that the shadowless boy's brain is not bright." Zifeng said with some complaints.

Princess Jianing hurriedly said: "This is the Underworld Sect, don't talk nonsense, I think the sect leader is also very confused now, and it is normal that he can't make a correct judgment for a while, I have a hunch in my heart, this time the matter is more than ten thousand times more complicated than I imagined." ”

"Your worries are not unreasonable, the only son of the Zhuge family in the Jianling Continent is also here, can he have anything to do with this matter?" Zifeng was looking at Princess Jianing.

Princess Jianing said: "It's hard to say how complicated this matter is, but judging from the appearance of Zhuge Gongzi, it will not have anything to do with him, if you put the rebellion of the Protector of the Underworld, the red pigs and rats of the Earth Dragon Gang, and the mutant eagle bats of the Lingfei Gang together for study, it is not excluded that the Zhuge family has something to do with this, so from now on, we must be careful in everything." ”

Zifeng was silent, as if he was thinking about something. She said suddenly: "It's okay, as long as there is danger, get Zhuge Yue out and block it for us, his sincere protection of the princess shows that Zhuge Shiban has nothing to do with this matter, if he has two hearts, he will make him a living dead." ”

Princess Jianing patted Zifeng: "Sister, you are so bad." ”

"It's not that I'm good or bad, it's that I want to know if Zhuge Gongzi is attractive!" Zifeng hurriedly ran away after speaking. Only then did Princess Jianing react and chased after Zifeng. The sound of the two of them woke up the Delicate Wolf, who let out a long howl.
