It was too far away to hear what Ji Chongguang said to the mysterious man, only to see that they seemed to have exchanged something with each other.
Even if Ji Chongguang covers most of his face, his whole body still reveals an aura that no one is close to, and those girls who are so soft that they have no bones will be entangled when they see someone. The corner where Ji Chongguang was was seemed to be invisible, and no one approached within three steps.
After the two finished talking, Ji Chongguang got up and left, covering his entire face with a hood, and hiding in a dark corner, where there should be another secret entrance.
The mysterious man who was targeted by Chu Ning still turned out of the entrance, and before leaving, he pinched the waist of a plump woman, causing the woman to laugh again and again.
Jing Yuan turned his head and asked, "The two of them went in different directions, which one should we follow?" β
"We're here to find Forget, of course with the suspicious one." Chu Ning got up and hurried to follow, she already knew that Ji Chongguang stayed in Jing's family to find a suitable opportunity to return to the Jin King City, he was never a passive waiter, of course he had to find an opportunity to increase the chips in his favor. Chu Ning couldn't help but glance back, in that dimly lit corner, there was nothing to see, could it be that Ji Chongguang wanted to reactivate the army used by King Wu? This is not an easy task......
The mysterious man seemed to be familiar with the roads near the ghost market, and after several turns along the winding alleys, he soon reached the city wall.
Chu Ning and Jing Yuanyi hid in the shadows, intending to see how this person crossed the city wall, and when he walked a little farther away, the two of them would do the same. But after a few moments, they were both dumbfounded......
Starting from the fingertips, the man's entire body gradually turned into fine sand, and in the blink of an eye, a large living person was gone, leaving only a small pile of sand on the ground. A gust of wind rose out of thin air, and the pile of sand seemed to be consciously raised and scattered all over the city wall, seeping through the gaps between the masonry and stones.
Chu Ning looked at Jing Yuanyi dumbfounded, Jing Yuanyi shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Don't look at me, I won't either, the Lusha family is born to control the sand, and if we can turn the sand and walk, we will definitely not succeed." β
Seeing that the chasing people chased here, they returned in vain, Chu Ning would definitely not be reconciled. In her bones, like Ji Chongguang, she will never give up easily if she doesn't try to the end.
She sat down on the spot, pointed to her nose and said to Jing Yuanyi: "I'll take a look with the soul, you take care of my body here, don't let people think that there is a corpse here, drag it away and bury it." β
The Lusha family is the most mysterious and unpredictable magic family in the world, and there is a dazed and unknown sea of sand in front of it, which is dangerous and unpredictable, Jing Yuanyi was just about to stop it, Chu Ning had already opened the spell, and the spirit left the body and chased after him, leaving only the original body with slightly closed eyes.
Jing Yuanyi shook his head again and smiled bitterly, sat down next to Chu Ning's body, looked sideways for a long time, tentatively stretched out an arm, hugged his petite body into his arms, and said in a voice that only he could hear: "Little beauty, this is what you said yourself, let me take care of you, I can't turn my face when I come back, you know?" It's windy and sandy here, so don't blow your fine skin and tender meat. β
He looked up at the starry sky, and as a child, he used to do it at the top of the treetops, looking at the stars until dawn. At that time he had the most beautiful mother, twin brothers, and a pair of huge wings that were five feet long and dazzling gold, and then he had nothing.
"Little beauty," he rubbed Chu Ning's slightly cool fingertips, the person who was out of his body was like he was asleep, and he would no longer straighten his face to stop his flamboyant tongue, "I really think you are beautiful, people like me who know how to appreciate are hard to find with lanterns." Whether a girl is beautiful or not, it's all in a pair of eyes, and your eyes are like a whirlpool that wants to suck me in. β
Outside the city walls, Chu Ning didn't know that someone was babbling at her body, and every word was something she had said that she was not allowed to mention again.
After the mysterious man turned into fine sand and passed through the wall, the fine sand gathered and reassembled into a human form.
Chu Ning was not afraid of being discovered at this time, she followed not far away, and when she used the Soul Departure, as long as she didn't want others to see her, others would not be able to see her.
Out of the city all the way to the north, there are more and more yellow sands, and the flying sand that is swept up by the wind blows on the face like a knife, and there is no one in all directions. Gradually, there was already a long stretch of yellow sand with no edge in sight on all sides, and Chu Ning knew that he was already in the sea of sand.
For many years, no one has dared to set foot in this sea of sand easily, and under the sand, I don't know how many white bones are buried.
The man walked somewhere, looked up at the sky, and then turned into a pile of fine sand, which merged with the yellow sand all over the ground.
The night breeze was blowing, and the yellow sand on the ground was slowly flowing. Chu Ning knew that this place should be very close to the royal tomb of King Wu, and the tomb of the Son of Heaven was completely closed, and ordinary people could not enter the inside of the royal tomb even if they followed here.
Chu Ning closed his eyes and waited for a moment, until the yellow sand on the ground stopped again, and estimated the time, it should be enough for the sand that person turned into to seep into the interior of the royal tomb. She gathered her mind and prepared to continue to follow up with her Soul Departure......
"Grandma," Chu Ning whispered angrily, "it's sealed." β
King Wu continued to kill all his life, and finally unified the originally divided land, and he left a powerful Great Zhou, but also left many hidden dangers. No matter how wise and resolute a king is, he is no different from anyone else when it comes to what is after his death, and his greatest hope is eternal peace. Therefore, King Wu not only deliberately hid the location of the royal tomb, but also added a ban around the royal tomb to prevent people who are proficient in magic from entering the royal tomb in special methods.
Chu Ning is no longer reconciled, and he can't think about it at this time, and the feeling of falling short is really frustrating. When she was frustrated, she suddenly heard a voice coming from her sleeve: "When the day is about to break, when the daylight moves here, there is no prohibition on the line where light and darkness intersect, facing the position of the morning star." β
A round fleshy worm rolled out of Chu Ning's sleeve, landed in the soft yellow sand, and rolled back into the appearance of a round Qinyuan bird.
"How do you know? How can you still ...... Came along? Chu Ning lifted Mingxian's tail and lifted it upside down. Entering the land of the Jin Kingdom, everything became less normal. When you leave your soul, you can bring your clothes, shoes and socks with you, and you've never heard of a beast pet in your sleeve.
Ming instantly shook his head and feet on the ground a few times, and chirped in a dumb voice: "Who am I, I've been traveling south and north for a long time, and I don't know how much I have heard this kind of secret." If you want to go in, hurry up, and when the sun covers the entire sand sea, you won't have a chance, and then the sand sea will be so hot that you can roast the whole cattle and sheep, and how we can get out is a problem. β
This sounds very reasonable at first, but when you think about it, there are many loopholes. It is true that ordinary people will not deliberately avoid an ordinary-looking bird when they speak, but ordinary people will not easily talk about the method of entering the underground palace of King Wuwang's tomb. The shadow of the sun is gradually moving, and the sentence that time is running out is true, Chu Ning didn't have time to worry about it, so he dived underground according to the method it said.
Under this sea of sand, there is indeed a hidden royal tomb, where Chu Ning is located, is a long passage, on both sides are huge stone walls. The dungeon is dim and dark, every dozen steps away, a place is carved out on the stone wall, and a huge night pearl is placed, and the entire dungeon is illuminated by the faint light of the night pearl.
Chu Ning walked along the passage, and at the end of the passage could faintly hear the sounds of talking and moving. She searched for the voice, and in the empty main hall of the underground palace, there were more than a dozen people dressed in black. They were all the same as the mysterious man Chu Ning had seen, even in such a secret underground palace, there was a hood covering their heads and faces, revealing only a pair of hollow eyes.
She couldn't recognize any of the people she had followed, because everyone looked almost identical, the same clothes, the same movements, the same boring gestures, the same dead eyes.
Someone took out the jar, opened it and brought it to his mouth, tasted it, put it down again, and muttered: "What kind of wine, it has no taste at all." β
When the wine jar was opened, there was obviously a strong aroma of wine emanating from it, and even Chu Ning could smell it. She wasn't good at wine tasting, but she could smell that it was supposed to be a good wine.
These people, who were once the proudest warriors of the Great Zhou royal family, the best horses, and the best wine, were all given priority for them to choose, and the surplus would be distributed to other royal nobles. But now, those wanton pleasures only exist in memories.
Since that incident happened a few years ago, a crack has appeared in the originally sealed underground palace, and they can turn into sand and sneak out. But the outside world is very different, no one cheers at them like heroes, no one even recognizes them, they can't go to the open market, they can only go to the black market where the inferior people are mixed, and exchange for a little food and use.
They no longer need to live by eating and drinking, they just want to taste the taste of the past, the taste of memory.
Everyone is like a walking corpse, and when they have nothing to do, they wander aimlessly in the empty underground palace, where there are countless precious funerary goods, but everything is meaningless to them.
Chu Ning poked his head out and glanced at it quickly, on the other side of the main hall, his hands were tied and tied to a stone pillar.
