Chapter 19: The Innkeeper Fight
After dinner, Princess Jianing and Zifeng fell asleep in a daze, I don't know how long they slept, and suddenly heard the sound of crying. The heartbroken cry of an old woman, which was particularly poignant in the dark night wind, pierced her heart and lungs, like the desperate screaming of an old cat who had lost its cub in the autumn rain.
Zifeng sat up, took the flint and sparked the candle, and listened, the cry became louder and louder, as if it had come to the door foot by foot.
Zifeng jumped to the door, pushed open the two door panels, and a gray-haired mother-in-law was passing by the doorway, almost in a flash, and the cry was made by her. When she passed by the door, she glanced at Zifeng, with a piercing sharpness in her eyes, Zifeng suddenly felt chills all over her body, and she was stunned unconsciously.
The mother-in-law walked to the end of the corridor and disappeared in a corner. Zifeng lowered his head, screamed, and quickly fluttered backwards.
Princess Jianing hurriedly jumped to Zifeng's side and said, "What's the matter?" ”
Zifeng pointed to the door and said, "What do you see on the ground?" ”
Princess Jianing looked down at the door, where there was a roller frame made of slender logs. There were a dozen rats crawling lifelessly on the cage, which was spinning rapidly. The rats are trying their best, but they will never be able to climb the frame. Next to the roller cage was a group of rats with spasmodic limbs, foaming at the mouth and occasionally moving their beards, as if they were dead.
Princess Jianing casually shot out dozens of thin needle-shaped rays, and the rays hit the mice accurately with mystical power, and they were finally freed. Xuan Li pierced through the mouse, and the fur burned a thin line of fire, and a scorched smell suddenly rose in the air.
Princess Jianing looked at the end of the corridor and hurried after her. At the end of the hallway was a utility room, in which the candlelight flickered, and a figure was reflected in the window. Princess Jianing pushed open the door, and the mother-in-law who had just walked by was facing Princess Jianing, sobbing, shrugging her shoulders, still crying sadly, her voice was hoarse.
Princess Jianing looked up and down at her mother-in-law's back. The back looks old but there is an indescribable enchantment, and that kind of enchantment makes Princess Jianing unable to control herself for a moment. She tried to calm down and said, "I wonder why my mother-in-law is crying so sadly?" ”
The mother-in-law was still crying, and her shoulders suddenly shook violently because of the crying, and it took a while to stop crying, and said, "I died a few days ago, and they died so miserably, they were drenched in blood, their bones and muscles were broken, and there was no one to collect their bodies!" ”
Princess Jianing was taken aback: "A group of children? How many children do you have? ”
The mother-in-law suddenly sneered: "My children are all over the world, and there are countless children. ”
When Princess Jianing was wondering, the mother-in-law turned her head, a red ribbon was tied in her gray hair, and there was a scarred face under the messy hair on her forehead: "I have a child here, do you want to see it?" ”
Before Princess Jianing could say whether she wanted to or not, a red object shot out from under her mother-in-law's armpit. Princess Jianing stood still, turned back to avoid the red object, and just straightened her waist, the mother-in-law's steel-hooked hands had already pinched Princess Jianing's throat. Princess Jianing sharply raised her right elbow to block her mother-in-law's attack, and hit her mother-in-law in the abdomen with her left hand.
The mother-in-law smiled and said, "Little girl, it's good, it's not chaotic in the face of danger, no wonder you can kill so many of my children." ”
The mother-in-law lifted her feet off the ground and grabbed the beams with both hands, and three rats screamed and shot out of her sleeves. The space in the house was too small, and Princess Jianing kicked on a broken cabinet, taking advantage of the opportunity to break through the window and float into the corridor, shooting out three thin needle-like rays at the same time. The three rats fell to the ground and screamed, and after a convulsion, they died of breath.
A sinister laugh came from the old woman's throat, and a swarm of rats shot out of her, on the turban, in the neckline, in the sleeves, in the holes in her clothes, the wilder the laughter, the more the number of rats, the faster!
Princess Jianing turned to stand firm, but saw that the red giant rat with a group of rats had already come to her, and the corridor instantly resounded with the squeaky sound of dense rats. Zifeng was just about to go out, when he saw a group of mice, he screamed, jumped on the bed, pulled the quilt and covered his body.
The mother-in-law walked out leisurely and said, "The little girl looks good, I won't say anything about the fine skin and tender meat for my children to eat, otherwise I won't say anything, otherwise I won't ......" She didn't go on, but she did not know whether it was a mouse eating or a mouse attacking.
Princess Jianing smiled: "You are in a nest with the snakes and rats of the Cui Destiny, and the conspiracy is not tricky, just because a few of you also want to go against the Great Qiangong?" ”
The mother-in-law was immediately angry when she heard the three words of Da Qiangong: "Oh, you know how to use Da Qiangong to press me at a young age, right?" What's so good about Daqiangong? It's just a dirty mess (1) place. ”
Princess Jianing said angrily: "Shut up, you are not allowed to insult the Great Qiangong." ”
The mother-in-law smiled and said, "Little girl, you are still too young and don't know too many things, but today you can't leave, I have to forage for the hungry children." ”
Princess Jianing floated in the air, and at the same time, her sleeves were posed with the help of Xuanli, and two endless red circles of light hit the mother-in-law. The mother-in-law turned her figure, and at some point there was an extra crutch in her hand, and she used it to parry the sleeve of Princess Jianing's coat. In just a moment, the apertures of light collided, and after shattering, they were embedded in the walls and wooden pillars in different shapes, and white broken wood chips flew everywhere.
The rats in the hallway squeaked and squeaked, looking up at the people flying around in the air, just out of reach. The giant red rat was even more angry and ran back and forth in the corridor, blinking its whiskers and baring its fangs, and rushed into disarray.
A door was pushed open, causing the rats to retreat to both sides. Two streams of black powder erupted from inside the door, and soon fell down the hallway. The black powder was sprayed three times in succession, and the smell of sulfur was faintly smelling in the air.
The mother-in-law shot the crutches in her hand into the door: "Little rabbit, do you dare to play yin?" ”
The crutch was covered with purple light, and it pierced through the door panel, pierced into the floor, and with a click, the door panel and floor tiles were shattered. Zhuge Yue had already hid next to the table and casually threw the burning candle on the table into the corridor. In the corridor, two lines of fire burned to the ends on both sides, and the flames were one after another, and the rats were screaming and running around in the fire, and there was a sudden smell of burning in the air.
The mother-in-law cried out, "My child." "Leap to the patio and blink away.
Princess Jianing searched carefully, and suddenly turned around and looked up at the top of the patio, where the ghostly mother-in-law was in the corridor of the patio at a high place.
The mother-in-law said in a strange way: "Look at the wall! ”
When Princess Jianing looked at the wall, she immediately felt unsteady on her feet. It turned out that the walls shook, and suddenly the patio became smaller, and the square corridor became two halves to be pasted together, and suddenly the patio became larger, and the square corridor became farther and farther away, and suddenly the patio became irregular, and it was shaken like a rope.
Princess Jianing leaned under the pillar, Zifeng was thrown to the door at some point, and clung to the door panel.
The ghost mother-in-law laughed and said, "This inn is modeled after a python, now is the time for the python to shake its body, haha......" Her laughter alarmed the birds in the dark night, and they flew to the black and blue sky.
The inn is indeed shaking more and more violently, but the supplies in the room are not misplaced at all, and the teapots and cups on the table are not on the ground.
The ghost mother-in-law was even more proud, and said, "Little girl, look at the corridor above, you listen to the voice in the corridor." ”
Princess Jianing looked up, and felt the red pressing on the top, and finally couldn't stand still. Zifeng only glanced at it, and then lay in the door, unable to move, and his heart seemed to jump out.
Thousands of red rats ran down the corridor above, running faster and faster, running more and more, squeaking and laughing to fill the patio.
Princess Jianing grabbed Zifeng's ankle, closed her eyes, stood up suddenly, and then tapped her feet on the pillar behind her, and floated towards the corridor below. Falling into the hallway, he couldn't stand and fell far away. The red above has spread to the hallway where it was on fire.
Princess Jianing suddenly remembered Zhuge Yue and said, "Sister Zifeng, it seems that Zhuge Gongzi has not come out. ”
Zifeng's face turned pale, and he said angrily: "Waste! "Anger seems to be self-deprecating.
When Princess Jianing looked up, she saw that the corridor that had been on fire just now was on fire again. Zhuge Yue lit the quilt and curtains, and threw the broken tables and chairs into the fire, and the fire gradually grew. The red rats could not make it out of the fire, and they huddled together again, and many of them were squeezed into the patio.
The ghost mother-in-law smiled: "This is indeed a clever trick, but it is also a stupid trick, haha......"
The rats in the patio fell more and more, countless, and the ground was red, and the rats were constantly surging like a red river. Stimulated by the smell of blood, some rats crawled into the hallway and came up from below. It turned out that this is what the ghost mother-in-law said about the stupid trick, and she was hit up and down.
The inn was still shaking.
Zhuge Yue released the Zhuge sculpture from the room. The Zhuge eagle spread its wings quickly and silently like a machine, and flew up. When it flew over the top of Ghost Granny's head, it lowered its head and knocked on its abdomen, and countless thin needles came out, forcing Ghost Granny to retreat into the room behind her. After lowering the altitude, the thin needle hit the swarm of rats running upward, and the red mice were hit countless times, suppressing the attack of the swarm, and at the same time it chirped, and the blue-eyed eagle flew over and flew to Princess Jianing. Princess Jianing and Zifeng jumped on the blue-eyed eagle at the same time, and the blue-eyed eagle flew out of the afterlife inn smoothly.
Zhuge Yue held the Linglong wolf in his left hand, and with a flick of his right hand, the wood-shaped hand suddenly grew several feet, grabbed the corridor beam, and swung out of the afterlife inn after a few swings.
After Zhuge Yue landed, he said, "It should be okay now, princess, please look!" ”
At this time, there was a violent noise in the inn of the afterlife, which shook the earth, and a cloud of black smoke came out. Princess Jianing smiled: "It seems that Zhuge Gongzi is still of some use. ”
Zifeng was disgusted, and after controlling it, she said, "Jianing, let's get out of here, right?" ”
Princess Jianing said: "Isn't this very good, accompanied by beautiful women and beauties, the old witch and the son of the mouse are still here to make trouble, this is a fairy tale world." ”
Zifeng slapped Princess Jianing and said, "I always think this place is weird and quite crazy." ”
Princess Jianing said: "It's very strange, what do you want, we want to find the Earth Dragon Gang, and the people from the Earth Dragon Gang in the Pure Land Continent will send it to the door by themselves." ”
Zi Feng said: "You said that the mother-in-law just now is a member of the Earth Dragon Gang? ”
Princess Jianing stared at Zifeng and said, "Yes, not only that, but it should also be a more powerful character, I want to make a bet with you." ”
Zifeng pointed at himself and Princess Jianing: "You bet with me?" What to bet on? ”
Princess Jianing said: "I bet that Ma Impermanence is dead, if I lose, I will serve you for three months when I return to the Great Qian Palace, how about it?" ”
Zifeng sneered, there seemed to be sarcasm in his laughter, and responded: "I didn't want to make this bet, but this condition is too tempting, okay, I'll make this bet with you." ”
