The candlesticks on the table swayed gently with the evening breeze blowing through the cracks in the doors and windows. In the wick, there was also a "crackling" sound.

Hearing this, King Yama was silent, his eyes widened as he watched the black and white impermanence that had also chosen to remain silent, and the entire hall suddenly fell silent.

Even their breathing was extraordinarily clear.

"Well, it seems that this is the only way to go. After a moment of silence and thought, the king of Yama, who couldn't think of any other good way, had to say this, and the anxiety and tension hidden in the depths of his eyes still did not dissipate.

Then, a long lament full of helplessness broke the silence for a long time.

"You just follow the original plan, be a loyal Hades, and use your power more secretly in the future to allocate more new ghosts to the Nine Shadows Kingdom. After Bai Wuchang looked at King Yama and shook his head slightly, he lifted his wine jar again, lowered his head and stared at the wine that was about to bottom out, forcibly suppressed the anxiety in his heart, tried his best to continue to maintain the calm on his face, and said in a calm tone: "This matter is an unavoidable calamity for the young master, and it is even more difficult for us to meddle too much, everything can only rely on himself; ”。

"Hmm. King Yama nodded his head, and after being stunned, his eyes flashed with a little worry, and he frowned and continued: "But I'm still a little worried about the ghost mother, this ghost still has some city governments, and she never takes the initiative to contact us, but she is the old divine servant of the Emperor Xudu, and now the young master has taken her as his wife, will he raise a tiger for trouble?"

"What kind of tiger is raised, she was the divine servant of Emperor Xudu back then, yes, but she also secretly supported the old master and the old master's mother. She has her unspeakable difficulties, and she never takes the initiative to contact us, and it is also because the spies of Emperor Xudu are all over the world that she does not dare to contact us rashly, and also to ensure the safety of our lives. Bai Wuchang hurriedly waved his hand again and again, and denied in a firm tone: "Plus the old master and the old master mother both trust her, then we must trust her." And the young master also chose her, then she is our master mother, and her loyalty cannot be questioned. ”。

King Yama said no more, put away the worries in his heart, and after nodding his head, his face once again returned to the fierce appearance of his previous serious look.

The three ghosts tacitly changed the topic, drinking and eating peanuts, chatting about their work in the past, and also chatting about some interesting stories in the city, and sometimes there would be a few arguments or laughter in the main hall.

After chatting happily, the three ghosts drank more, but they left all their previous anxieties and impatience behind, and it was not until midnight that the wine party was dissolved.

The drunken King of Yama walked out of the small courtyard with a stagger, and walked slowly towards his mansion.

Bai Wuchang waited for him to leave, then stood at the door of the main hall, staring at the open courtyard door without saying a word, staring at the direction where King Yama had gone.

"Lao Xie, what's wrong with you today?" Hei Wuchang angrily stood beside Bai Wuchang and asked sharply, "How can you come up with such an idea that doesn't care about it?"

"This is tempering, without grinding, it will be difficult for him to become a great tool, and he will not be able to complete the old master's last wish to unify the ten continents and create a prosperous era that is different from the era of the ancient gods. Bai Wuchang, who had always been giggling in the past, suddenly smiled without saying a word, his face was full of seriousness, and then he waved his robe, and the courtyard door was closed, and he turned and entered the main hall......

Xuan Yanzhou, in the city of Yuque.

Xiao Shizhu walked slowly towards the bottom of the sinkhole along the steep stone steps built on the mountain wall, while listening to Julong introduce everything in the Yuque Palace to him.

"When this ancient shrine was built, it was what it is now, and we haven't rebuilt it for thousands of years, but we have done proper repairs and protection. Ju Long pointed to the scenery around him, and said slowly: "Every corner of the palace is blessed with talismans, even if there are natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes, fires, etc., all the buildings in the palace can be safe and sound and will not be damaged." And there are seven major views in the palace, with the jade tree in the square in the middle as the center, and the other six scenes extend out to the north and south, and the arrangement is in the direction of the Beidou in the sky. Legend has it that these seven views were still blessed by the ancient gods, forming a transparent barrier above the sinkhole, enveloping Yuque City in it, forming an invisible barrier. However, we have never seen this barrier, and it is all a legend. ”。

As he spoke, the group of ghosts had reached the bottom of the sinkhole. All the palace lights in the palace have been lit, and all the buildings have been lit up in the dark, becoming more transparent and crystal clear. Brick by brick, beam by column.

And those talismans engraved on the beams and pillars of doors and windows also flashed blue in the dark. It not only adds a bit of decorative beauty to all the halls and pavilions in the sinkhole, but also makes these jade houses in front of them look even more crystal dignified, bright and pleasant.

At the same time, the splendid and beautiful soft brilliance also makes the meandering streams and clear spring pools, flowers and trees, rockeries and stone paths around the hall colorful.

Compared with the top of Xiaoyu Mountain, the palace made of all brass, this place is a little less majestic, a little more quiet and elegant atmosphere, and it has a unique flavor.

Xiao Shizhu stood up, looked around, and after taking in the full view of those talismans, he suddenly remembered that when he went to the Vientiane Palace for the first time, he saw the talismans engraved on the pedestal outside the palace, as well as the talismans on the top of the palace, which were almost very different from the talismans he saw in front of him. ”。

Thinking of him, he looked up and looked above him. Secretly and quietly luck, the soul energy in the body is gathered into the meridians around the eyes. But seeing that there was nothing on the sinkhole, a thin purple light suddenly appeared, extending to the east, west, north and south, forming a huge semicircle that enveloped the entire sinkhole. Presumably, this is the legendary enchantment mentioned by Julong.

There is also a golden light in the purple light, and after drawing dots and lines on the enchantment, it forms a strange rune seal, as well as patterns such as stars, spirit beasts, and gossip;

Looking down again, he saw seven purple qi in the palace rising into the sky and injecting into the enchantment. For the purple light in the sky, it provides an endless stream of energy.

Since Xiao Shizhu's last battle with Ying Ying, his perception has also improved invisibly, and he can now clearly feel that those seven purple qi contain a powerful force of nature, which is similar to the mysterious power in his body.

Xiao Shizhu was stunned and secretly happy, fortunately, he did not attack the city at the beginning, and the Gonggong father and son were in this battle, because of the rush to attack and cut and the enemy was lightened, and they went out of the city to meet the enemy without thinking. Otherwise, the Xiao family's artillery and firearms were ten times more advanced, and they would not be able to break through this powerful barrier at all. And the ghosts in the enchantment can easily shoot bows and arrows from it, and the Xiao family army will inevitably suffer heavy casualties.

Thinking of this, after he secretly collected his soul qi and returned to the dantian, he moved his gaze to sweep left and right, but saw that the purple light and purple qi had disappeared from his eyes.

And the architectural decoration of this place is also very unique; on the carved beams and painted cornices and corners, the carved paintings are not dragons, phoenixes, turtles and cranes, nor fairy grass and qionghua, but all kinds of strange snakes.

Even the two sides in front of the door of each hall are not stone lions and stone unicorns, let alone green dragons and Xuanwu and other things, but stone carvings of a man and a woman, with two heads and snake bodies.

Xiao Shizhu remembered the appearance of Julong and Gonggong and smiled, looked back at Julong, and said, "You and your father are very narcissistic, and you have made the decorations in the palace into your own appearance." ”。

"...... this" Ju Long looked at him stunned, then looked at the decorative sculptures around him, and suddenly realized, and said with a smile: "This is not the appearance of me and my father, but the two leaders of the Huaxu clan of the ancient god clan, Nuwa Niangniang and Emperor Fuxi. ”。

"Mom and Dad?" Xiao Shizhu said secretly in his heart, and then silently looked at those stone statues, but a sense of intimacy suddenly appeared in his heart.

"This palace was built by the two ancient gods, and it was also their palace back then. And the saints of the generation of the Gonggong country are the divine servants of these two ancient gods. Julong paused, and continued to explain to Xiao Shizhu: "Out of respect for the two ghosts and gods, after Emperor Xudu ruled the underworld, he never touched a single grass or tree in this palace. ”。

Xiao Shizhu just nodded, but didn't speak.

It was left by Changqin, and Changshan, who didn't talk much on weekdays, snorted heavily after hearing the words, and said coldly: "What kind of respect? It's that he can't touch this palace with the Emperor Xudu; it is said that the enchantment in the legend is specially used to restrain the Emperor Xudu." ”。

After Xiao Shizhu and the other ghosts heard this, they frowned slightly.

Everyone knows that under the reign of terror of Emperor Xudu, no ghost dares to speak ill of him in public. But Changshan said it, not saying it in front of the ghosts, and said it so justifiably and indignantly, as if the Emperor Xudu had a hatred for taking his wife and killing his father.

And Changshan's words and deeds that he knew he couldn't do naturally aroused Xiao Shizhu's vigilance.

Changshan is not a ghost of the world, and he can suddenly and recklessly say a reckless and impulsive word at such a time, which can only mean two things.

One is that this ghost is a little scheming and the city, and the other is that he has some kind of conspiracy.

Xiao Shizhu's palm couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, such a ghost with a city government had been by his side for a long time, and he actually only noticed it today.

Xiao Shizhu took Emperor Xudu as a clue, and quickly thought about all the possibilities in his mind, and finally suddenly recalled Chen Ruo, remembered her previous identity, and combined with Changshan's tone just now and what he said, he guessed Changshan's true identity.
