Chapter 569: Sleepless City
The attitude of the demon leader in front of me made my heart that had been tense a little calmer.
At the very least, the Marquis of Sleepless is still waiting for me, which means that Jun Yao should be fine.
The demon commander escorted me in the middle with two teams of guards, passed through the city gate, and came to the Sleepless City.
The city is brightly lit everywhere, the architectural style is majestic, with gray and black, 4X4 pattern is mainly spread throughout the city, walking on the street is full of demons carrying blue lanterns coming and going, but in the northernmost part of the city, a towering magnificent palace towers, no accident, there should be the end of my trip to the sleepless city, Changming Palace.
Not surprisingly, the demon commander took me along the avenue in the center of the city straight forward, the demon clan around seemed to have great respect for the commander in front of him, and he didn't stop walking to salute him when he passed by, until he came to the stairs of the northern highness, the demon commander stopped his figure, turned around and said to me: "At this time, the prince is meeting with distinguished guests, please wait for a while." ”
Guest?
My first reaction was that the one in the main hall at this moment was either the Demon Lord or one of the other Nine Great Infinite Marquis.
At this time, in addition to the matter of Wei Junyao, I didn't want to have too much contact with other Wuji Marquis for the time being, so when I heard that there was a guest inside, I asked the demon commander, there was no place to rest, and I wanted to ask for a cup of tea after a day's journey.
The demon leader smiled slightly, and bowed and said: "It's that the last general is not thoughtful, but the prince has an order, let the last general wait here with his honor, otherwise the prince will blame him, and the last general will not be able to make a difference." ”
frowned slightly, he didn't expect to get such an answer, and at the same time set his eyes on the big plaque of "Changming Palace" on the long steps, and suddenly became interested in the people in the hall.
Time passed in waiting, but even if it was dark, the city was still full of flowers and bustling, I looked around at the bustling crowd with boredom and curiosity, and asked the demon commander: "Is the night of the sleepless city so lively every day, or is it just today?" ”
The demon leader said with a smile: "The reason why it is named Sleepless is that the whole city is over there all night, and the cycle repeats itself, and it will not rest for a day." ”
"Then you won't feel sleepy?" I wondered.
"So it's just the right time for the Venerable to come up, and there is no one in the sleepless city during the day."
"Oh?" I was even more curious when I heard this, and couldn't help but ask: "Why is that, sleeping during the day and going out at night to do activities violates the avenue of yin and yang, and what's the point?" ”
After saying that, I almost covered my mouth, how could I ask a question about the Yin and Yang Avenue? Could it be because of the Dao heart in the body?
The leader of the demon clan seemed to be quite proud, puffed up his chest and said: "The 100,000 night demons in Nanming are all under the control of my monarch, and this sleepless city is specially tailored for the night demons, and there is no second one in the whole world." ”
"Daredevil?" When I heard this, my heart moved, and my eyes swept to the demons who came and went, so I pressed my heart and said no more.
And at this time, I heard the door of the main hall open "rumbling", and then a palace maid wearing a gorgeous costume and carrying a blue lantern walked out of the palace door, stood at the head of the long steps, and said loudly: "The prince has an order, please go to the Huadeng Hall to rest for one night, and then arrange another meeting tomorrow night." ”
Seeing that the little palace maid turned around and left after speaking, I immediately shouted, "Wait a minute! ”
Walking out of the demon guard, I looked at the palace maid who had stopped with her back to me, and asked, "Who is the person that the Marquis of Sleepless is seeing now?" ”
"Bold!"
But who knew that the demon army around him did not react, and the palace maid on the long steps took the lead in anger, turned around, stared at me with an angry face, and scolded: "Who are you, the name of the prince, can you also call it?" ”
"General Chu, what are you eating, someone slandered the prince, are you just looking at it?!"
In the face of the princess's aggressiveness, I didn't speak, but turned my gaze to the demon general known as General Chu, and found that half of his face covered by the helmet was instantly gloomy, but then quickly returned to normal, hugged his fist and said: "The prince has commanded, this person is my guest in the city of sleeplessness, and it is the first time to set foot in this city, the words are a little inappropriate, the lamp envoy should be Haihan." ”
I looked at General Chu in surprise, I didn't expect him to intercede for me at this time, and at the same time I was surprised that the little palace maid in front of me, who was short and looked to be no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, turned out to be a lamp envoy.
Then he turned his head to look at the lamp envoy again, and found that a trace of anger flashed in her eyes when she looked at General Chu, and said in a deep voice: "In short, the prince has an order, and the guest will see you tomorrow night, if you have anything to say, just go and ask the prince directly!" ”
After speaking, the lantern envoy turned and left, leaving me and a group of demons standing in the square at the bottom of the long steps.
I heard a sigh in my ears, and General Chu came to my side and said apologetically: "Please also move the Huadeng Hall to your honor." ”
That's the case, and I can't say anything more.
Hua Lantern Hall is located in the southwest of the sleepless city, the whole palace flies the eaves and warped corners, up and down five layers, the long corridor bucket arch is hung with colored lanterns, although it is not as good as the Changming Palace in scale, but the overall look, the momentum is also quite good.
"Was that palace maid the lantern envoy of Sleepless City just now?"
Walking on the long steps of the Hua Lantern Hall, I asked nonchalantly.
General Chu nodded: "She is one of the seven lantern envoys under the monarch's seat, and she is also the most important lantern envoy at present. ”
Lamp Maker? Palm Lamp Maker?
I was slightly stunned, and somewhat understood the relationship between them.
However, along the way, especially after what I have just experienced, I have a good impression of this General Chu, and at the same time, I also realize that no matter which race of people, demons, and gods, it is not all black and all white.
Hua Deng Hall can be regarded as a special place for guests to rest in the city of sleeplessness, the wing room inside includes a lot of maids who are responsible for costumes and guests, after arranging a side room, General Chu took the guards to retreat, but when he left, he seemed to hesitate, or whispered: "It's best not to go out at night, rest in peace, and wait until tomorrow after dark, I will come to ask you to go up to see the prince." ”
I was slightly stunned when I heard this, looked at his expression of wanting to speak and stopped, and couldn't help asking: "Why, is it possible that there is no balance in this sleepless city?" ”
General Chu shook his head, pondered for a moment and said: "The blue lantern envoy is used to running rampant in the city, you an outsider just rushed into her in front of the guards, I am afraid that she will wait for the opportunity to retaliate, after all, this is the sleepless city, even if she does something that should not be done, there is a lantern to protect her, the prince will not do anything to her, respect the good and do it yourself." ”
After General Chu left, I stood alone at the door and was stunned for a while, then shook my head helplessly and closed the door, and sat in the room alone, sinking my mind into the dantian to explore what kind of mysterious power the new Dao Heart hid.
The Dao Heart now exudes bubbling power flowing in the body without me deliberately urging it, and then returns to the Dao Heart, repeating itself, like a never-ending perpetual motion machine, always working in the dantian.
My body has been precipitated under the flesh and blood of the true dragon for half a year, and it has long been renewed, and with this extraordinary Dao heart, I am no longer the same person I used to be.
But I also know that with my current strength, I may be able to deal with ordinary demons with ease, but if I fight against a top powerhouse like Wumei Hou, the odds of winning don't need to be considered for the time being.
But since I have made up my mind to rescue Wei Junyao this time, no matter who the enemy is or what the result is, I will do my best to do it.
"Tuk Tuk!"
While I was immersed in the infinite wonders that the Dao Heart brought to my body, a soft knock on the door woke me up.
Was it really said by General Chu?
I exhaled softly, got up from the ground, looked at the candle fire still burning in the room, and didn't respond immediately.
"Tuk Tuk!"
Listening to the knock outside the door again, I coughed lightly and said lightly, "Which one?" ”
"Your Excellency, the prince has asked your Excellency to go to Changming Palace immediately to talk about it, and I hope that Your Excellency will set off immediately."
