Chapter 32 No Flattery

Xiao Jin asked coldly, "What about your palace master?" Teach her to come out and meet us. ”

The man in red stroked them and said, "The palace master said that he will come to you when we meet again, this is your courtyard, most of us are outside the courtyard, if you have any needs, just ask." ”

At this time, Xiaobai tugged at the corner of He Qingyan's clothes and said, "Brother, I'm hungry." ”

He Qingyun looked at Xiaobai and then at Ji Qingyi, and whispered, "I don't know if I can eat the food here." ”

Ji Qingyi thought for a while and said to the two men in red: Can you give us those foods? We haven't eaten for a day and a night. ”

When the man in red heard this, he stroked them and turned to leave. She turned back to He Qingyun and said, "Let's eat first, we can't let Xiaobai go hungry." ”

He Qingyun rubbed Xiaobai's head and said, "Xiaobai is waiting, waiting for a while, there will be something to eat." ”

Xiaobai yawned, stepped forward and hugged He Qingyan's waist and said, "Brother, hug." ”

"......" He Qingyun twisted his ears: "I want to hug you, but I didn't let you hug it." ”

Xiao Jin walked to the table and sat down, and he said to Ji Qingyi, "When do you say this palace master will meet us?" ”

Ji Qingyi shook his head and said: "I don't know, it's hard to say this kind of thing, but since this is the Nightmare Palace, if it is really as the gods and rivers say that the dragon sees the head and does not see the end, then we may really not be able to go back." ”

He Qing was stunned and said, "Can't go back?" ”

Ji Qingyi shook his head and said, "I don't know, I'm just guessing, I hope this palace master has nothing else to do with us." ”

Xiao Jin glanced at Xiaobai and said to He Qingchen: "You were originally a case investigator, doing dangerous things all day long, and you take this child with you wherever you go." ”

He Qingyun glanced at him angrily: "You don't need to care, take care of yourself." ”

Xiao Bai looked at He Qingyun, stretched out his little hand and patted his arm and said, "Xiao Bai is not afraid of danger, Xiao Bai wants to be a person as powerful as his brothers and sisters." ”

He Qingyun rubbed his head and said with a smile: "Xiaobai said, who is better looking than my brother and that stinky face?" ”

Xiaobai craned his neck and bared his teeth and smiled: "Brother is good-looking!" Brother is the best-looking! ”

He Qingyan raised his eyebrows and smiled smugly at Xiao Jin.

Xiao Jin twitched the corners of his mouth speechlessly.

Ji Qingyi looked at He Qingyi a little helplessly, and then said: "That old man said that the demons in the Nightmare Palace are all women, why are there still men here?" ”

He Qingyun shook his head and said: "I can't say for sure, either the rumors of the rivers and lakes that the old man heard are not very accurate, or maybe this is not the Nightmare Palace, you think, how could a sect like the Nightmare Palace that the dragon see the head and the end of the sect, how could we meet it so easily." ”

Ji Qingyi shrugged her shoulders and said, "Some ordinary people can be picked by the Nightmare Palace when they sleep, and we hurt her subordinates, she naturally wants to teach us a lesson." ”

He Qingyun said: "But how can there be a prisoner living in such a house? ”

Ji Qingyi said: "Maybe there is no cell in this palace, right?" ”

He Qingzhen: "......"

Xiao Jin: "......"

At this moment, the two men in red came over with a lunch box, put it on the table, and withdrew.

He Qingyun walked over, took off the silver needle on his head and inserted it inside, thinking about testing the poison, but Xiao Jin stopped her and said, "No need, there is no poison in these dishes, even if it is poisonous, you can't try the silver needle." ”

Ji Qingyi asked suspiciously, "Why?" How do you know there's no poison in it? ”

Xiao Jin smiled, sat down and said, "I naturally know, people who practice martial arts have learned this. ”

Ji Qingyi looked at He Qingyi, shook his head and said, "There are still differences between people!" ”

He Qingyun was eating a mouthful of food, and when he heard Ji Qingyi's words, he almost choked to death, he blushed and said, "What! I said that I only practiced martial arts for self-defense. Why do you need to know so much? ”

Xiao Jin snorted coldly and said, "Do you know why you want to learn martial arts? ”

He Qing glanced at him and said, "I don't need you to say it." ”

Xiao Jin said lightly: "You practice martial arts because your father is Jing Zhaoyi, you need to investigate a lot of cases in the future, and there will be a lot of enemies, your father was not good at martial arts before, so he couldn't hug your mother when the enemy was looking for revenge." ”

He Qingyan's face turned white: "You have to talk nonsense, my mother died of childbirth when she gave birth to me." ”

Xiao Jin sneered: "That's because your father doesn't want to tell you the truth, if you ......"

"Say no more!" Ji Qingyi frowned and interrupted Xiao Jin's words, and said in a deep voice, "Don't go too far. ”

Xiao Jin had cold eyes, stood up abruptly and looked at Ji Qingyi and said, "I'm just telling the truth, you are too protective." ”

With that, he stood up and walked out.

Ji Qingyi frowned, thinking to herself what was wrong with this person, why were they all so irritable.

Xiaobai was afraid that he also felt that the atmosphere was a little weird, so he lowered his head and pulled the rice, and he didn't dare to look up.

When they had finished eating, they saw the two men walk by and clean up the things on the table.

Xiao Jin stood under the tree outside, and he didn't know what was going on, but he was inexplicably irritable and on fire in his heart. He tried to breathe and meditate to relax his mind. At this moment, he suddenly felt someone approaching, and when he looked at it, he realized that it was one of the two men in red.

The man was still a teenager, he walked up to Xiao Jin and said, "Are you feeling very irritable now?" ”

Xiao Jin glanced at him coldly and ignored him, the man puffed out his mouth, walked up to him and said, "You can't stay in the Nightmare Palace for so long, you will lose your mind after a long time." ”

Xiao Jin laughed and said, "Then you can't let us go." ”

The man said, "My name is Hongchen, and I am a disciple of the Nightmare Palace, but I am not a Nightmare. ”

Xiao Jin didn't want to deal with him, so he only said lightly: "What's your name, what does it have to do with me?" ”

Hongchen smiled, with a bright smile: "I don't know, I just want you to know my name." By the way, in fact, the sky above the Nightmare Palace has always been filled with this kind of spice, which is caused by flattery and can confuse people's minds. ”

Xiao Jin raised his eyebrows: "Listening to your explanation, I think it's a suspicion." ”

Hongchen was stunned and smiled: "Naturally not." ”

Xiao Jin asked again: "Is there an antidote?" ”

Hongchen nodded and said, "The antidote is naturally there, but it's ......."

Seeing this, Xiao Jin said, "You are so close to me, but what are your intentions?" ”

Hongchen blinked his eyes and smiled at him: "Exactly!" ”

"What attempt?" Xiao Jin squinted at him.

Hongchen slowly approached him, leaned in to him and sniffed, and then said softly: "I smell your sweetness, otherwise you let me eat it, right?" ”

Xiao Jin frowned in disgust and took a step back.

Seeing this, Hongchen burst out laughing: "What are you afraid of?" ”

Xiao Jin said coldly: "I'll leave if there's nothing to do." ”

Hongchen stopped him and said with a smile: "I was joking just now, I thought that if I give you an antidote, then if you really escape, can you take me out?" ”

Xiao Jin looked at him with his eyebrows and said, "You...... Haven't been out? ”

Hongchen's eyes darkened, and he said softly: "Just like what is said in the rivers and lakes, people outside can't get in, and people inside can't get out except for nightmares." ”

Xiao Jin asked again, "Then how did you become a disciple of the Nightmare Palace?" I've heard that there have always been only women in the Nightmare Palace, and I haven't heard of men ever hearing of them. ”

Hongchen was stunned and said, "I don't know...... I don't know how I got in, but I've been here for as long as I can remember. There were a lot of people my age with me, but none of them knew how they got in. ”

Xiao Jin asked again, "Haven't you tried to go out?" ”

Hongchen smiled bitterly: "I can't find a breakthrough, this place is made of illusion, it is invisible to outsiders, and we can't find an exit." ”

Xiao Jin thought for a while and said, "Then how can I take you out?" ”

Hongchen lowered his voice and said: "I heard the previous palace master say that our existence is to maintain the illusion of this Nightmare Palace, so we have been learning illusion with Wumei since we were children, although there is no powerful way to enter and exit this illusion freely, but it is still no problem to hide it on you." ”

As he spoke, he took out a handful of sand powder from his arms and sprinkled it on the ground and said, "You stand here, this is the sand powder I made myself, you dip it, and then I can hide it on you and leave secretly." ”

Xiao Jin frowned, stood on the sand powder in the eyes of Hongchen Qiyi, and then said, "Is this method feasible?" ”

Hongchen hesitated and said, "It should be feasible, right?" ”

Xiao Jin was a little angry and said, "Have you ever tried it?" ”

Hongchen shook his head and said aggrievedly: "How can I try?" You're the first people from the outside world I've seen since I came to the Nightmare Palace. ”

Xiao Jin didn't want to say anything to him anymore, so he turned around and prepared to go back.

Hongchen walked past him, walked in front of him and said, "Then do you agree or not?" ”

As soon as Xiao Jin heard this, he remembered that the antidote was not yet available, so he stretched out his hand to him and said, "Give me the antidote first." ”

Hearing this, Hongchen took out four pills from his arms, put them in his hand and said: "This antidote is a day's amount, in order to ensure that you don't tear down the bridge from the river, you have to ask me for the antidote every day in the future." ”

Xiao Jin was already in a violent mood, but now he really wants to blow up Hongchen's head: "Aren't people like you who are isolated from the world supposed to be very simple, why do you have so many eyes?" ”

Hongchen bit his chin and said, "Wumei said, the people outside are very cunning, so of course I have to be careful." ”

Xiao Jin approached him and smiled: "Then have you ever thought that you give it to me once a day, if we have to leave that day, it's okay not to have your antidote." ”

Hongchen was immediately stunned, and Xiao Jin looked at his stunned expression and returned to the house with a smile.
