Chapter 166: Prime Minister's Mansion (3)
After pondering it, Shen Zhifeng suddenly understood who the enemy General Cangqi was talking about.
It turned out that this person actually had a grudge against the god of Pengyu.
She secretly swore in her heart that no matter what happened, she would never let him know that she knew that she could spell, otherwise her identity would definitely be exposed.
In a moment's time, they had already walked out of the ghost market, and what appeared in front of everyone was a large hall that shimmered with golden light. The entire hall is made of gold, absorbing the essence of the moonlight, so that it will shine in the darkness even more dazzling than the sun.
Shen Zhifeng was so flashed that he could barely open his eyes, so he could only look away.
At the door of the main hall, General Cangqi suddenly stopped, turned his head and stared at Shen Zhifeng with eyes that seemed to see through everything, and said slowly: "I still think something is wrong with you, why are you still so unhurried until now?"
"I was stupefied. Shen Zhifeng summed up very seriously.
General Cangqi pulled out a huge knife and put it on Shen Zhifeng's neck, and said, "You don't look like you're scared stupid, but you seem to be confident." What's the matter, where are you a Taoist priest who is ready to rescue a trapped mortal woman?"
Shen Zhifeng's face did not change and his heart did not beat: "You think too much, I am really a mortal." ”
General Cangqi still didn't believe it, and he didn't bother to talk to her more, so he directly picked up the big knife and slashed down! The knife was very fierce, and his body was wrapped in a strong evil aura.
Shen Zhifeng closed his eyes and gambled that his knife would not be cut down.
General Cangqi's knife stopped at Shen Zhifeng's forehead, and he also shaved off a few hairs. He clenched his fists and said sharply, "Why don't you hide?"
"How can I hide!" Shen Zhifeng glared and said, "So many people are holding me, your knife is still so fast! You cut me in the middle here, I may not have come to my senses yet!"
Hearing this, General Cangqi couldn't help but feel a little less suspicious in his heart. In the face of such a critical moment, there is no Taoist priest who does not use spells.
He put away his knife, turned around indifferently and said, "Go in." ”
The two ghost soldiers immediately escorted her into the main hall, while the others guarded outside.
The hall is full of jewels, but they are very harmonious, and even have a sense of freshness.
Shen Zhifeng couldn't help but admire the taste of the ghost prime minister.
General Cangqi pushed open a large door that was heading towards the entrance, and a staircase leading to the underground appeared in front of everyone.
The staircase is so steep that it was only chained for 200 years. Shen Zhifeng looked down and could see the red magma below, and Bai Sensen's hand stretched out from time to time.
Shen Zhifeng couldn't help but grasp the chains, restraining his trembling legs and going down. It's not that she's afraid of the magma below, it's that she's a little afraid of heights.
General Cangqi couldn't help but laugh proudly when he saw that she finally showed a scared expression.
After walking for a while, I finally came to the end of the stairs. There was a stone bridge over magma, and there were a pair of red eyes watching through the cracks in the stone bridge.
When you cross the stone bridge, you will see a series of ornately built houses. These houses are surrounded by enchantments, and the outside is guarded by ghost soldiers. Locked up inside is a mortal woman who was captured, and her daily life is served by the ghost soldiers, which is much more comfortable than in the mortal world, the only pity is that there is no freedom.
Shen Zhifeng was curious whether these women would marry the ghost prime minister, or if they would pick one of them.
General Cangqi entered it with Shen Zhifeng, and the ghost soldiers immediately surrounded him. He told the ghost soldiers to find a room for her to live in, and the ghost soldiers immediately took her to an empty room.
Shen Zhifeng took a special look before entering, and found that these enchantments couldn't trap him, so he was relieved.
The ghost soldiers ushered her into the room, and stood guard at the door, taking care of her daily life.
Shen Zhifeng looked around the room and found that it was quite big. Not only are there living rooms, bedrooms and bathrooms, but there is even a back garden. For most mortal women, life here is indeed much better than in the mortal world.
After Shen Zhifeng walked around the room, he came out of the house to greet the other mortal women who were trapped. They didn't seem to like life here, and they all had melancholy faces.
She wanted to know the specific situation of the ghost prime minister, and glanced around the faces of many women, and finally fixed on a woman with gentle eyes.
Shen Zhifeng immediately leaned over and said with a smile: "This girl, I don't know what to call it?"
"Xiao Rou. The woman was timid.
Shen Zhifeng laughed and said, "Hello Miss Xiaorou, I don't know anything about this when I first arrived, I don't know if you can be invited to my room to understand the situation?"
Most of the women who were arrested here cried and cried, eager to be hit headlong and killed. Now seeing a person who warmly greeted her to drink tea, Xiaorou was naturally a little surprised.
The ghost soldiers still stood at the gate with expressionless faces, and as long as they didn't run away from here, they would hardly bother.
The two of them sat upright in the room, and Shen Zhifeng ordered the ghost soldiers to make tea. They had never seen anyone who called themselves like servants, and because of General Cangqi's explanation, they had to pour tea for them.
When all the ghost soldiers withdrew, Shen Zhifeng immediately got straight to the point and asked, "What are we doing when we are trapped inside?"
Xiao Rou sighed and said, "We have to wait for the ghost prime minister to marry." ”
"Does he marry all of us?" Shen Zhifeng was curious.
Xiao Rou shook her head: "Will choose one of us." ”
Shen Zhifeng frowned and asked, "How did he choose, did he look at his appearance, or his personality, or what skills he liked?"
When Xiao Rou heard this, she couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Shen Zhifeng was confused, and heard Xiao Ju say: "There are no rules for him to marry, it depends on whose life is better." ”
"If you don't get selected, will you be released?" Shen Zhifeng then asked.
Hearing this, Xiao Rou's face became gloomy, and she sighed and shook her head: "If you are not selected, you will become food for other ghosts, and it is impossible to go back." ”
Shen Zhifeng was stunned, he didn't expect that not only could these women not go home, but they would also face the result of being devoured.
Xiao Rou looked at the teacup in her hand, her eyes were covered by heat, and she said lightly: "I shouldn't have been attracted by this scenery in the first place, otherwise I wouldn't be worried about life and death now." ”
"Then, haven't you thought about escaping?" Shen Zhifeng said.
"We can't go out at all, there are invisible walls around us that keep us inside. Our only hope of survival is to become the object of the ghost prime minister's marriage, otherwise we will only face death. ”
"Can you survive if you marry the ghost prime minister?" Shen Zhifeng frowned.
Although I don't know the real purpose of marrying a ghost, it will definitely not be just a simple marriage.
