[590] Expectation
Dozens of rainstorm guns shot out one after another in two or three breaths, and the ghost heart full of qi in the clear space was full of holes in the blink of an eye, like a hornet's nest.
With a calm and unhurried clear space, he fell to the ground with a bang under the splash of ghost blood. He was out of breath, and he still had an indifferent smile on his face.
The air was filled with blood, attracting several blue-eyed crows from the underworld. They flew from a distance, fluttered their wings and landed on the roof of the hut where the clear space was, tilted their heads and looked into the courtyard with a pair of green eyes, and opened their mouths to let out a few hoarse cries, which were annoyingly noisy.
Xiao Shizhu, who was feeling sorry for not being able to win over a ghost talent, was upset for a while after hearing the noisy crow call, and instantly a hostile qi rose out of thin air in his body, prompting him to accelerate the circulation of ghost blood. Xiao Shizhu immediately turned his head to look at the crows on the roof, a blue light flashed in his sleeve, and a trace of murderous aura appeared in his eyes.
When the blue-eyed crows saw the murderous aura in his eyes, they panicked, and kept jumping between their feet and flapping their wings, and the hoarse cries from their mouths became more rapid and louder, and a few long black feathers shook off. It was blown by the yin wind and spun in mid-air.
However, a moment later, Xiao Shizhu's mind suddenly sounded the "Ming Lord Holy Monarch" that Jingkong said, and the blue light in his sleeve immediately dissipated, and the murderous aura in his eyes also faded.
"Is the Ming Lord Holy Monarch?" Xiao Shizhu, who had calmed down, was stunned and thought for a long time, then sighed lightly and said to himself: "That must be another difficult thing. ”......
In the Yuque City at the beginning of the lanterns, the lights are bright. When night fell, the overwhelming darkness did not affect the revelry of all the ghosts in the city.
After several years of development, the jade gate with high walls and thick walls is also not what it used to be. As the political and economic center of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, as well as the military center, it has become a rich and civilized and magnificent ghost city in the underworld.
The streets and alleys on the hill and down the mountain are dense, and the roadside pavilions and straight department stores are gathered. No matter day or night, in the ghostly and foggy city, the streets and alleys paved with bluestone are still ghostly, shoulder rubbing. In the city, where you can see green ghosts and fires everywhere, half of the shops not only do not close their doors, but are still full of people.
Xiao Lingling rode her beast soul from outside the city, and behind her were dozens of female ghost cavalry riding Bai Ze, with long knives on their waists and guns, all of whom were guards in her palace. and the one-armed Fan Jinhong, who also followed behind her.
On the bodies of Bai Ze, who were the female ghost cavalry, there were still a lot of wild beast souls that were tied. Most of them are shaped like wild cats, but the top of their heads has long hairs like long hair (the class is a wild beast), and there are some wild deer trees.
Looking at this appearance, the famous Jade Que Weng Lord just returned from hunting outside the city.
After passing the city gate and entering the city, Xiao Fuling went straight to the lower palace gate in the north (the palace gate of Yuque Palace is divided into upper, middle and lower, respectively on the top of the mountain, the mountainside and the foot of the mountain).
After passing the lower palace gate of the black jade gate (the north is Xuanshui, so the north gate of the Yuque Palace is made of black jade), she took her subordinates into the palace and drove the beast along the horse road in the palace towards the Yuque Palace and the direction of the Absolute Fragrance Garden.
Xiao Fuling is not like the lords of other ghost countries, she lived with her mother before leaving the pavilion. Since returning from the Southern Barbarian Conquest, she has her own Weng Lord's Palace, which is a special reward for Xiao Shizhu's heroic performance on the battlefield, just behind the Juexiang Garden.
Bai Ze, who was as white as snow, sweated like rain, carrying all the ghosts through the scattered halls and pavilions in the palace, and the flying beast hooves stepped on the ground, making a burst of clattering sounds.
After a while, Bai Ze, who was running with four hooves, took Xiao Fuling and them to the palace gate of the Weng Lord's Palace. The eaves pillar does not fall to the ground, hangs under the eaves, and there is a palace gate that is usually painted as a petal in the form of hanging beads, and there is a square jade bi, and the three big characters on the book are vigorous and powerful - the Palace of the Stars;
On the left and right sides of the door, there is a pair of jade and stone beasts with treacherous images, a man and a woman with snake tails, all of whom are making their mouths open to show sharp teeth and spit out snake letters. The human body is decorated with cloud patterns, the snake's tail is full of diamond-shaped patterns, and two fist-sized turquoise stones are embedded in their eye sockets, flashing with a strange green light under the ghost fire of the palace lamp.
The stone carvings from the palace walls to the gates and doorways are all left over from ancient times, when the gods ruled the underworld. At that time, the underworld was not called the underworld.
It's just that because of the age, no ghost can remember what this palace was used for a long time ago.
Xiao Lingling stopped in front of the palace gate, turned over and got out of the beast soul, handed the reins to the guards, and strode into the palace.
Behind the palace gate is a palace garden with a two-entry courtyard pattern, the main hall of the front yard of the top of the hill of Huanglong jade tile is five rooms wide, three rooms are deep, and the front eaves are in the middle to hug the three rooms. Open the door in the bright room, four doors with ancient money pattern lattice flowers, and the rest are sill windows.
Just because it is Xiao Ling's palace, there are also two swings under the front porch of the main hall in the front yard.
Xiao Fuling buried her head forward, ignoring the palace maids who were saluting on the side of the road. But when she came to the jade steps at the entrance of the front hall, she found that a ghost shadow was cast from above, enveloping her.
Xiao Fuling, who was slightly stunned, stopped suddenly, looked up and looked forward, only to see the ghost mother with a gloomy face, standing above her, behind the jade steps in front of the temple.
Xiao Fuling was stunned again, and then secretly screamed that it was not good, knowing that she had skipped school to go hunting, but she was afraid that the ghost mother already knew, and she would inevitably be reprimanded tonight. Xiao Fuling hurriedly put on a well-behaved appearance, and after grinning, she made a blessing: "The child meets the mother." ”。
"Where are you going to the wilderness again?" The ghost mother who snorted angrily, her face was gloomy but increased, her red lips were white, and she scolded sharply: "Do you still know how to return to the palace? Do you know what time it is?"
Having said this, his eyes swept towards Xiao Fuling, and he saw Fan Jinhong walking in with Xiao Fuling's palace maids, carrying mountain delicacies and game, and immediately questioned Fan Jinhong: "Fan Jinhong, Lord Weng skipped out of the school palace, why didn't you stop it?"
Fan Jinhong, who was standing behind Xiao Fuling, hurriedly lowered his head and returned: "The lowly duty is blocked, but the lord Weng doesn't listen to the lowly one, saying that it is okay to go to class at any time, but hunting is rare several times a year." ”。
Xiao Fuling was startled again, turned her head suddenly, glared at Fan Jinhong fiercely, and then turned her head to face the ghost mother, her face was no longer resentful, and there was a bright smile.
"Okay, you Xiao Ling, you still learned to skip school, if it weren't for the doctor in the school palace who saw that you didn't go to school for a day, thought that something had happened to you, and hurriedly entered the palace to report, I really didn't know that you had such a great ability. As she spoke, the ghost mother had already taken out a bamboo ring ruler from her sleeve, and at the same time stepped forward, slowly standing in front of Xiao Ling.
It is precisely because of Xiao Fuling's skipping school and not going to Juexiangyuan to eat that the ghost mother specially came to her palace to wait, that is, to educate her daughter well.
Xiao Fuling, who knew that a meal was inevitable, turned her head and glared at Fan Jinhong, who was talkative, obediently stretched out her hands, and then whispered to the ghost mother: "Mother, I'm a master anyway, give me some face, don't fight here?"
After speaking, she looked around, and her scruples swept over the faces of the palace ladies around her.
Seeing this, the ghost mother slowly put down the ring ruler that had been raised, turned around and said, "Follow me." ”。 After finishing speaking, he took Xiao Fuling and walked to the front hall.
After a while, there was a heart-pounding sound in the front hall, and there was a rhythmic sound. Fan Jinhong, who was standing outside the door, listened carefully, and secretly counted in his heart. When the sound of the board stopped abruptly, no more, no less, exactly twenty times.
Fan Jinhong, who was silent, sighed lightly.
In the front hall, Xiao Fuling, whose palms were red and swollen, gasped. Looking at the red palm, she didn't have any grievances.
She has been personally educated by Xiao Shizhu since she was a child, and she knows that she will be punished if she makes a mistake, and she has no complaints about this board.
"Mother will give you some medicine to reduce swelling and relieve pain. After hitting the board with her own hands, the ghost mother, who was no longer hard-hearted, looked at her daughter's swollen palm, and her heart was like a knife for a while.
"It's okay, it'll be fine tomorrow. Xiao Fuling was as unimpressed as always, rubbed the hem of her skirt with both hands, gasped again, and raised her head and smiled.
The ghost mother had already taken out a medicine bottle from her sleeve, pulled Xiao Poria's hand in front of her, and after dipping her index finger in some bottles of medicinal ointment, she carefully wiped it into her daughter's palm.
Starting with the ointment, Xiao Lingling suddenly felt cool in her palm.
"Do you dare to skip school next time?" the ghost mother asked again, but her tone was much softer than the previous question. After speaking, he waved his hand and motioned for the palace maid on the side to retreat first.
In the blink of an eye, only their mother and daughter were left in the huge front hall.
"Don't run away. Xiao Fuling stared at the ghost mother's index finger that applied the ointment to her, and smiled.
"Your father is coming back, let the news from the fungus people come back tonight, the country of corpses has been destroyed, and the rest of the things in Dongyi Continent can be handed over to the ghost officials and ghost generals who stay behind. The ghost mother, who had applied the ointment to her daughter, held Xiao Fuling's white and tender little hands and gently blew into her palms.
"Really!" Xiao Lingling suddenly became excited, pulled her hand back, and jumped up. Frightened, the ghost mother hurriedly helped her who fell to the ground, and said urgently: "Be careful." ”。
"I'm just going to tell you about this, but don't tell it to the outside world. Now in this underworld, the ghost who wants your father's life is as vast as the sea of stars, and his itinerary and route must be kept absolutely secret. The ghost mother lowered her voice and explained again.
"Yes. Xiao Fuling nodded her head heavily, and the smile on her face became even brighter.
The long-lost father is coming back, and the joy in Xiao Fuling's heart is like a turbulent wave, instantly washing away the pain of being beaten before and the resentment against Fan Jinhong.
"In addition to this, your father also said that he had brought you a master who would teach you how to march and fight. Seeing that her daughter was happy, the ghost mother was also happy, and a smile bloomed on her face.
Xiao Fuling was stunned suddenly, and the smile on her face before froze instantly.
"Who? I have a master in the school palace, and I still want to hire it?" After being stunned for a moment, Xiao Fuling scratched her head and muttered, and then asked: "My father won't give this ghost a fortune, right?
"Since it's your master, of course you have to give it to Yulu. The ghost mother had long been accustomed to Xiao Fuling's strange thinking, like Xiao Shizhu, and just smiled lightly and said, "It turns out that there is a princess of the Bear Country. ”。
"Huh?" Xiao Fuling, who blurted out in surprise, stared at the ghost mother with wide eyes.
During her time in prison, she had seen a lot of information about Youxiong Country, and she mentioned this female girl. It was mentioned in the intelligence that the female ghost used soldiers to enter the gods, if it weren't for the fact that there was no gun in the bear country, this female ghost could turn the tide of the battle in Fenglin Continent.
Since then, Xiao Fuling has had a lot of respect for the female slu.
When she learned that Nulu was about to become her master, she was pleasantly surprised and full of anticipation.
