019. Explore the Dungeon at Night
At the end of the luncheon in the Prime Minister's Mansion, everyone was full of wine and food, satisfied, and exchanged ideas in the house in the afternoon, stayed for a while, and thanked the host and left. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Yun Yi and Yun Li were very thoughtful in their hospitality, and before leaving, they also gave each person a small bag of dried Rue Ling grass flowers, and everyone was grateful for the precious gifts.
General Wataru is not a descendant invited by the Prime Minister's Mansion, so he has been staying in the front hall to wait, after Qingming and Qingji came out to meet, in order to avoid people's eyes, the three of them went back to the south of the city.
Walking to a secluded place on the road, Qing Ming couldn't figure it out, and asked: "Anyway, Senior Sister Yun Li can be far from the arts, even if we take such a detour, I'm afraid that she will be in full view?"
Qing Ji smiled weirdly: "Hehe, you care so much about that little girl? Just now she handed you the food, looking at the two of you eyebrows, I knew that you were tired!"
Qing Ming was a little embarrassed, and said hurriedly: "What kind of joke is my uncle making! I just met her, and I haven't said a few words in total, I really wronged my nephew!"
Qingji's whole body approached him, and said mysteriously: "Uncle, I understand, hehe, take your time! However, if there is anything in the future, you must not hide it from me! Hide it from your uncle, then it is really unreasonable!"
General Watari ignored Qing Ji and explained to Qing Ming in a serious manner: "Yuancong Technique, it's okay! At present, the most powerful far-reaching skills in the subject country should be the old prime minister Yunsheng and Master Zhong Quan, but as far as I know, the farthest distance they can obtain information is only within a radius of 100 meters, and beyond the distance, they are at a loss. ”
The group hurried away and returned to the south of the city on the eve of dinner.
From a distance, I saw Long Xing standing at the gate of the courtyard waiting, rubbing his hands and pacing back and forth, looking anxious. Seeing Qing Ming come back, he rushed up and took Qing Ming's hand as if he had seen a savior, and walked side by side.
Long Xing encountered a lot of strange things in the Xuantian Dao, and now he has learned to be vigilant a lot, he saw that there were many people on the side, so he only whispered to Qing Ming: "The black spirit is back! Oh my God, I'm terrified! After eating, I'll go to your house to talk to you!"
Qing Ming asked softly, "Is the black spirit okay?" Long Xing snorted.
Qing Ming and Long Xing, who were preoccupied, hurriedly finished eating, called General Shang Dusheng, and the three of them quietly gathered in Qing Ming's room and began to talk in a low voice.
The black spirit hid in Long Xing's chest, and by the way, he absorbed some of the aura that was naturally lost in Long Xing's body to replenish his physical strength.
Long Xing sat down and began to relay the news that the Black Spirit had inquired about that night.
He leaned forward, his eyes wide, in a state of extreme excitement and surprise, and tried his best to suppress his voice that was about to get out of control: "This morning, after you left, soon after, the black spirit, my little girl, will be back!"
"It wasn't injured, just a little tired, it flew a long way from us to the dungeon of the Criminal Department, and it hasn't replenished its energy, so of course, in the middle of the night, where to collect nectar!"
Qing Ming and Du Sheng held their breath and concentrated, and after listening to Long Xing's narration behind, they were all surprised.
It turned out that last night, the black spirit was ordered to go to the dungeon of the Ministry of Punishment to find out, it did not have any clues to follow, so it had to lurk in the dungeon and wait for the rabbit, it flew extremely fast, and came and went silently, so it was easy to sneak in, and lay on the dark side of the beam. Two hours passed quickly, and nothing happened except for the jailers patrolling back and forth from time to time, and a few restless fellows in the cell yelling. Of course, the prisoners in the dungeon of the Criminal Department were all one by one, separated, unable to contact each other, let alone make trouble, and gradually, the yelling guys also fell asleep, and there was silence in the cell.
The black spirit was bored and was about to fall asleep, and suddenly, it heard a sneering sound from the ground, coming from the corner of the wall, the voice was very soft, but with the intuition of the animal, the black spirit was sure that it must not be a human voice, it should be some kind of animal.
The cell was very dim, and as ordinary humans, the prisoners must not have seen better, especially in those dark corners.
The black spirit was planning to condense his true qi to improve his visual resolution, so that he could see where the comer was sacred. But before it could be done, an instant only a low cry was heard from the prisoner closest to the place where the snort had just been made, and then there was another snort, and the prisoner's low cry was obviously a preparation for a shout, and the scream was coming out, and before it could come out of his throat, it stopped abruptly.
The black spirit reacted extremely quickly, and flew towards the place where the snort last came from, and when it flew closer, even the butterflies were startled. It saw a small flower snake less than a foot long, colorful and agile, ready to slip away from a tiny hole in the corner. The patterns on the body are weird and messy, and it's creepy to look at.
The black spirit deceived closer, and saw it more clearly, only to see the little flower snake squinting slightly, with a smug and satisfied look, its mouth was open, not closed, it seemed to contain something precious, and it couldn't bear to bite it, and it was afraid of losing it.
The butterfly spun around quickly, and in an instant flew to the side of the guy, ah, it turned out that it did have something in its mouth, a small round sphere that shimmered with golden light. Then, the attacker twisted his body and fled quickly and nimbly through the hole in the corner.
The black spirit could not follow the little flower snake to drill the hole, at that time the situation was urgent, there was no time to think, and it could not care about hiding its tracks, it could only fly out of the door of the dungeon, and did not want to be seen by a jailer on night duty at the door, causing a commotion, several jailers thought that this butterfly was strange, so they chased after it, and the black spirit finally got rid of their entanglement. In order to find out the whereabouts of the little flower snake, the black spirit immediately rose to the sky to look down, and caught a glimpse of a faint golden light, which was moving rapidly on the ground, the golden light quickly weakened, and then disappeared without a trace in the northeast direction.
The commotion caused by the butterfly caused an even bigger wave in the dungeon, and it turned out that the prisoner's whispering did not attract the attention of the jailer, because the black spirit was exposed, and soon the jailer rushed to the prison to check on the prisoner. It couldn't have been easier for them to find out about the situation, because the crime scene was laid out in front of the jailers plainly and abruptly.
I saw that a fat prisoner who was still alive and like to yell before had now turned into a thin piece of paper, leaving only clothes and shriveled human skin, and all the flesh and blood disappeared without a trace, and there was no trace of blood around.
The black spirit chased in the direction where the golden light disappeared, but it was already in vain, there was no trace, the clue was suddenly broken, and it had to return to the dungeon of the Ministry of Punishment to see if it could have anything else.
Checked the small hole in the corner of the wall where the little flower snake entered and exited just now, but found that the hole was gone, it turned out that the little flower snake had such a strict plan, and when he fled, he did not forget to block the hole and cover his tracks.
The black spirit felt a pang in his heart, and said in his heart This guy is really a master of superior magic skills among animals, and he is thoughtful and thoughtful, and his actions are careful and meticulous, I am afraid that he is far from being his opponent.
At this time, it was heard that the jailers were already messing around in the dungeon.
"Oh my God! How many cases are there?"
"Let's report it, for fear that the chief's face will not look good, so we will hide it, and only report about a dozen!"
"That black butterfly just now, what's going on?"
"Wouldn't that be the culprit?"
"Wouldn't it? A butterfly can do such a horrible thing?"
"Look, let's be careful ourselves! It's terrifying!
Many of the jailers were trembling in their voices, obviously shivering, and their hearts were frightened.
Without more information for a while, the black spirit flew back. The black spirit squatted for a long time, and the incident happened relatively late, so the black spirit returned to the arms of Long Xing in the south of the city, and it was already sunrise.
Qing Ming and General Wataru had been listening carefully, and they didn't dare to let go of a word in Long Xing's mouth. After Long Xing finished speaking, his rapid heartbeat did not slow down in the slightest, which showed that he was still in a panic and couldn't jump out for a while.
The other two people in the room were lost in thought. Inside the room, only the breathing of three people was heard, and the sound of Long Xing's heartbeat.
After a long time, General Wataru spoke first: "According to what the black spirit can see, the golden ball contained in that little flower snake should be the soul of the prisoner who died at that time. Committing such a theft of souls against anyone without a trial by a collegial panel is prohibited in all the countries of the Xuantian Dao without exception, and it is a criminal act, and both the planner and the perpetrator will be punished with capital punishment! What kind of person would take such a reckless risk and be willing to risk the world's greatness?"
Long Xing echoed: "It's actually a snake! The snake did it? It's unbelievable! Will the snake also be sentenced?"
After Qing Ming pondered, he shook his head and said in confusion: "Is this snake in the Xuantian Dao really so powerful?
Immediately, his surprised tone was wrapped with a hint of adventurous impulse, and said, "General, please follow me back to the Qingzhen Palace, I want to ask my father and mother about the situation." ”
Unconsciously, it was late at night, and the two of them comforted Long Xing together, and the black spirit also promised him that he would help him pay attention to the surrounding movements and ensure his safety, so Long Xing took the black spirit and returned to his room to rest.
In the cultivation cave in the back mountain, General Wataru recounted the experience of the black spirit to General Shensheng, of course, compared to Long Xing, he was much calmer in surprise.
The general was thoughtful and sighed: "How is it soul alchemy again!"
That night, in addition to meditating on luck, General Shen Sheng began to explain the method of pranayama and exertion of the Qing Ying series of exercises, and Qing Ming accepted the magic skills taught by Shen Sheng surprisingly quickly and easily, which greatly surprised him and the two generals.
