Chapter 573: Pretending to be a ghost
Yun Huang shuddered involuntarily, and as she crossed the figures, she saw the ancient castle standing at the northeast corner of the street.
The majestic wind swirled around the castle and flew in through the windows that had fallen into disrepair.
The White Tiger Star and the Ninth House Star collide with each other, and the murder, killing and violent death are inevitable!
Yun Huang's ears kept echoing the conversation between the two Chu officials, and the heavy and ominous premonition in his heart was like a dark cloud pressing on the top, lingering.
"Oops, what's that!"
Suddenly, someone in the crowd pointed to the sky and screamed.
The crowd was unusually quiet after a brief commotion, all stunned by the sudden vision of the sky.
The originally clear blue sky slowly turned red, and the red tide from shallow to deep quickly dyed the white clouds, and a large and heavy cloud layer was like a coagulated blood clot, suspended in the sky above the imperial city, which was extremely weird.
Then, from far to near, there was a thunderous rumbling, like an innumerable number of wild beasts rushing wildly, and like the roar of the wind raising the waves.
The sound seemed to come from the earth, and it seemed to come from the distant sky, making it difficult to discern the direction, but it succeeded in stirring fear in people's hearts.
People looked at the sky in amazement, light red turned crimson, then dark red, and suddenly, there was a slight shaking of the ground, and everything around them was shaking slightly!
The dead silence of the crowd suddenly rang out several screams, people scattered in all directions, and the orderly streets instantly became chaotic.
There were young children who were abandoned on the side of the road crying loudly, and there were vendors who set up stalls who were knocked over on their backs, and the items on the stalls were scattered and trampled to pieces......
Yun Huang saw that a young child was about to suffer, so he rushed over and picked him up and hid in a clearing, looking at everything in front of him in amazement.
However, in a moment, the color of the sky suddenly returned to normal, the ground stabilized, and everything was like an illusion, coming and going quickly.
The chaotic crowd settled down, and after the people looked at each other, they cursed angrily and hurried to their own feet.
A panicked woman ran over to look for the child, and after thanking Yunhuang for her kindness, she hurriedly left with the child in her arms......
"What happened just now?"
Yun Huang couldn't figure it out, so he asked the Qingxin Old Immortal.
"Yunhuang, it was a precursor to the earthquake just now, and it is not advisable to stay here for a long time."
I don't want to, the old immortal of the Qing Lord spoke amazingly.
"Earthquakes? What is that? ”
Yun Huang has never experienced it when he is so big, and he has never heard of it, so he naturally doesn't know what is going on.
"It's a terrible natural disaster. When an earthquake occurs, landslides crack the ground, hurricanes erupt, and the sea swells, causing houses to collapse, bridges to break, flooding, and burning mountains...... Yunhuang, get out of here! ”
There was a rare nervousness in the voice of the pure heart old fairy.
"But what about my royal brother? We hurried to find him. ”
Yunhuang rushed up.
"Alas, hopefully in time."
The pure-hearted old immortal knew that he couldn't stop her, and sighed abruptly.
Yunhuang quickly ran to the ancient castle, but saw that the walls were pitted, mottled, and covered with dense collision marks, and the simplicity and heaviness of the vicissitudes of life came to his face.
The door is closed, tightly sealed, and difficult to shake.
Yun Huang glanced at the gloomy window and jumped in without hesitation.
It is a huge empty hall with two remnant windows on the top of the round arched hall, and the sunlight penetrates through the cracks in the windows, reflecting the ghost shadows in the hall.
The hall is sad and cold, as dead and silent as a tomb.
Yun Huang never thought that this hall was actually a place of execution before.
But I saw that all kinds of torture instruments were placed in an orderly manner, such as sharp knives and crosses, iron stabbing chairs, triangular wooden horses, wooden donkeys, tiger chairs, and decapitated guillotines...... The whole nine yards.
There were black blood stains on the ground, on the walls, and on the torture instruments, which were black and shiny, and had a stale bloody smell......
Yun Huang held a shrunken golden tin Zen staff in one hand and a dragon chant in the other, and after looking around vigilantly, he saw a hanging ladder in the corner of the wall.
The hanging staircase leads up to the second floor and down to the dungeon.
Yun Huang carefully bypassed the torture instrument in front of him and walked towards the hanging ladder, and rushed out of the stairs with a majestic style, "Be careful, the wooden ladder board is not strong, come up, over here!" ”
Yun Huang hurriedly followed, pushed open an old wooden door, and saw that the octopus god would be incarnated into an old way, and he was holding the key to open the lock of a door in the middle, Chen Zhendong was tied to a pillar, his face turned purple, and his eyes widened angrily, "Let go of me!" Let me drive! ”
Chen Zhendong twisted his body desperately, but the rope was thick and strong, and he couldn't break free for a while, so he scolded, "Are you here to help?" You're here to make trouble! Let go of me, let go of me! ”
Hearing the sound of the door, Chen Zhendong turned his head, saw Yunhuang, was stunned for a moment, his eyes turned red, and he choked up, "Imperial sister ......"
Yun Huang approached, and was startled to see Chen Zhendong's appearance, he hadn't seen him for a few days, his shape was erect, and the bulging blood vessels were clearly visible, which was shocking to see.
"Brother Huang, don't be afraid, don't worry, the royal sister is here to save you."
Yunhuang was just about to untie the rope for him, when the octopus god turned his head and shouted angrily, "Don't move him, stay away from him!" There is more than one Gu worm in his body, don't get too close! ”
Yun Huang gasped, "Brother Huang, you hold on a little longer." Tell the royal sister, how do you know that the key to this door lock is hidden in Han Chenge's bedroom? ”
"I finally fell asleep every night, and I would have the same dream, which was to guide me here, and then a voice kept telling me to go to Han Chenge's bedroom to find the key to open this door." Chen Zhendong gritted his teeth and endured the pain, "Imperial sister, you shouldn't come to save me, I don't have much time, so I want to find Han Chenge to return this vicious Gu worm to her, and treat her body in the way of others, so that she can also taste the pain of eating bones and burning hearts." ”
Yun Huang's heart ached, "Brother Huang, you are suffering for me, how can I abandon you?" ”
Chen Zhendong was just about to speak, when he suddenly coughed violently, lowered his head and spat out a mouthful of black blood.
After vomiting blood, Chen Zhendong closed his eyes and gasped for a moment, and when he opened his eyes, the person was a little more depressed, and his eyes were a little sluggish.
Yun Huang was so anxious that he turned his head and ran to the side of the octopus god general, snatched the key, "I'll open it!" ”
No, the octopus god gave her a look and whispered, "Can't open it!" ”
"How?"
Yunhuang was puzzled.
"I suspect this is Han Chenge's trick! I'm afraid that there is no secret book for solving Gu in this room, but there are poisonous snakes and beasts and the like. The octopus god will send a voice over, "I'm just making a show here, don't fall for it!" ”
Yun Huang's heart tightened, and he glanced back at Chen Zhendong.
He was looking at her faintly, with a shallow smile on the corner of his lips, "Yunhuang, if you're afraid, don't open it, the imperial brother can still see you before he dies, and he is already content......"
Yun Huang looked down at the key in his hand, then at the old copper lock, and frowned, "Even if there is a glimmer of hope, you can't give up!" If there really is any poisonous snake and beast, let's kill it! ”
After speaking, Yun Huang decisively inserted the key into the lock hole.
At that moment, there was a sudden sound of killing from the room!
The sound of the piano was as rapid as a shower, noisy and harsh, startling Yunhuang.
Listening again, the sound of the piano stopped abruptly, and there was silence all around.
Who is pretending to be a ghost in there?
