The water palace shrouded in fireflies, the officials of the upper court, and the strange birdsong that resembles the sound of wanting to learn to speak, set off the atmosphere of this underground space with a ghostly atmosphere.

From Ji Que's point of view, those officials were talking and laughing there, no different from real people.

But that's the weirdest thing.

Because they look like they've lived here for many, many years.

If these people live underground all the time, what do they eat?

Those who were like trees before?

For a while, he couldn't help but be curious about the emperor in it.

He wanted to see what kind of three-headed and six-armed freak the emperor here was.

Also curious are Ning Hongyu and Lin Xiangzhi.

Although Lin Xiangori was afraid, she was also curious.

She knew that curiosity would kill cats, but she just couldn't help it.

At this time, Lin Xiangzhi pointed to a room next to him.

There are some clothes hanging in there.

These clothes turned out to be red, green, and blue official uniforms.

So the three of them tacitly chose their official uniforms to wear with a swagger.

To be honest, seeing these official uniforms hanging in this gloomy room always gives people the illusion of hanging corpses.

After that, Ning Hongyu wore a red official robe, and Ji Que and Lin Xiangzhi walked out in a green official robe.

Ji Que reminded Ning Hongyu to keep a low profile, but the other party said that he liked red.

He was speechless.

This female Shangfeng likes red so much, he once doubted that this girl bottom pants will choose red all year round and will not change color.

As a result, the three of them swaggered to the rear of the group of officials, and the process turned out to be surprisingly smooth.

Someone next to them didn't say much when they saw them, and even some officials still had respect in their eyes after seeing Ning Hongyu's red robe.

Here, they could clearly hear what the officials were saying.

They seem to be really talking about the big things in the court, such as where there are disasters, where there are bandits, and some complain about the emptiness of the granary.

In the Momo Lake, the three of them heard these people talking about the political affairs of a dynasty called "Youguo".

Because he knows too little about this world, Ji Que has made up a lot of knowledge during this time, and there seems to be a description of a secluded country.

That was a long time ago, and it can be said that such a country existed before the establishment of the Dasheng Dynasty.

The Youguo is not big, and for a long time, it can be said that it is living between the two great powers, the Dasheng Dynasty and the Moon Kingdom.

Such a small country, under this terrain, can be said to be wiped out with a snap of a finger.

However, the Youguo has not perished, on the contrary, it once made the Dasheng Dynasty and the Moon Kingdom quite jealous.

Because according to legend, the ruler of the kingdom is not human.

That's probably all Ji Que knows.

To be honest, this world has a long history, and many places are also very ambiguous, like a layer of fog, which makes it difficult to see.

At this moment, a burst of suona suddenly sounded, which frightened Lin Xiangzhi's official hat to move.

Yes, her cat ears almost put her hat up.

After a while, the crowd walked towards the Taihe Temple.

The crowd's chatter quickly faded until it vanished, and in the flickering glow of the fireflies, the group looked like silent ghosts.

Ji Que and the three of them followed behind, and finally came to the rumored "Taihe Palace".

This Taihe Hall is very wide and tall, even if so many people stand in it, it still gives people a sense of emptiness.

The palace lamps reflect the scene inside, and you can see the vicissitudes and antiquity of this building.

This palace cannot only exist for more than 100 years.

On the hundred-level jade steps, there is not a throne, but a huge statue.

This sculpture is very magnificent, a face is at least three stories high, and the appearance is strange.

It's hard to describe what Ji Que saw.

Its body is twisted, like a giant earthworm, and it has a human face with large eyes, and you can even see some traces of pigs in it.

Judging by the length and width of the body, it's not an exaggeration to say that it's a dragon's body, but your first instinct is not to connect it to a dragon.

It's an earthworm.

Huge earthworms with tufts of ominous white hair.

Legend has it that the ruler of the kingdom is not human.

Is this the kind of thing?

The tufts of white hair, and the mildew spots on the skin, looked particularly disgusting.

Directly in front of the statue is a cage covered with cloth.

From time to time, there is that weird birdsong in the cage, and you don't have to think about it to know what it is.

Qixia view up and down, all here?

What are foreign bodies bringing them here for?

Ji Que and the three of them were mixed in the crowd and did not dare to act rashly.

Because next to the sculpture, there are four long-waisted species.

They were like guards, like eunuchs, guarding the "emperor".

The four long-waisted species were very similar to the one they had killed, with slender waists like noodles and large eyes that took up almost half of their faces.

In the dim light, their huge eyes radiated a breathtaking brilliance, like a yellow-brown abyss, as if a few more glances could suck a person's soul in.

They glanced at the officials one by one, with a great sense of oppression.

Ji Que and Ning Hongyu are both bold people.

Of course, this is a high EQ statement.

The not-so-high EQ statement is that both of them are a little bit head-tied and don't know whether to live or die.

But even the two of them don't think they are the opponents of these four things at this moment.

Killing only the one outside, Ning Hongyu felt tricky, and the true qi in his body was exhausted many times, let alone four.

At this time, only if the Venerable Chen Laoshi made a move, they would have a few chances of winning.

But Chen Laoshi is still nowhere to be found.

Most likely, he was not nearby at all.

They are bait, but it is an old man who is fishing, and he is asleep fishing, or he is entangled in other things, and he has no time to take care of it.

At this time, this group of officials began to go to court.

Unlike when they were talking before, these people were no longer speaking human words at this time, but languages that the three of them could not understand.

"Guilty, evil."

"Yes, yes."

......

These officials reported the situation one by one, and their expressions were cautious.

After a red-robed official in front of Ji Que and the three finished speaking, the court deliberations that had been going on suddenly fell silent.

Done?

Ji Que just thought so, and suddenly found that the eyes of many officials were looking at them.

Especially on Ning Hongyu beside him.

At the same time, there are also the four long-waisted species.

Obviously, everyone is waiting for the red-clad minister to speak?

Ji Que said secretly: "Damn, I told you not to wear red, right?" ”

As a result, at this time, Ning Hongyu arched his hand and replied: "Mian Shouhu, Kuang Bang." ”

"Hold on, squeeze."

......

After a while, Ning Hongyu finished speaking, and everyone looked back up.

Ji Que and Lin Xiangzhi were shocked.

Ji Que looked at Ning Hongyu, and there was only one meaning in his eyes - "You can even speak this kind of ghost dialect?" ”。

Ning Hongyu replied with his lips: "No, I'll talk about it casually, I didn't expect to pass the test in confusion." ”

Ji Vacancy: "......"

Looking at the four long-waisted species and the strange-looking sculpture, Ji Que's plan for the three of them was to shake people after they got over.

This kind of thing should be the appearance of that honest guy.

But at this time, I saw a long-waisted species lift the cloth on a cage.

Inside the cage was indeed a feathered man.

Lin Xiangori's eyes widened all of a sudden.

It can be seen that this feathered man is dead.

His body was only half cut off, his face was covered with broken feathers, and his flesh was black.

Lin Xiangzhi couldn't recognize who it was, but the cyan rag glued to his arm still showed that this was a member of the Qixia Temple.

The cage was opened, and a red-robed officer at the head stepped forward.

This red-robed official was born with a tiger's back, but his face was white and pure, and it looked as if his head had been removed from someone else.

He first bowed respectfully to the towering statue, and then came to the cage, and took out half of the "feather man" with a respectful expression, and said something in his mouth.

"Sorry."

"You have to know the same thing."

......

Strange words rang out in the temple, and immediately after, the feathered people in the surrounding cages were visibly uneasy, and let out the sound of birdsong and the fluttering of the wings of large birds.

The officer held the remains of the feathered man in both hands and paced on it.

If everything before seemed like a court meeting, now the scene is like a strange sacrifice.

Eventually, the officer stood in front of the statue and held the body aloft in his hand.

"Cotton, iron!"

The next moment, the huge eyeballs of the statue moved, and dozens of wriggling "tongues" suddenly poked out of its mouth, and the corpse was rolled into its mouth at once.

With such a picture, Rao is Ning Hongyu was startled.

Because to her eyes, it wasn't a living thing before.

But in an instant it came to life and ate.

Then, the white hairs near the face suddenly surged, and scarlet blood flowed from the huge eyes.

The officials below suddenly stirred.

The long-waisted species also looked a little uneasy, and one of them quickly ripped open the cloth of the other cage.

"Da Xuan Xu Xuan!"

The official who had been enshrined before suddenly spoke.

Ji Que saw it in his eyes and couldn't help asking, "What did he say?" ”

Ning Hongyu translated: "You want to eat it alive." ”

And when he saw the feathered man in the cage, Lin Xiang's hat was a little taller, and his eyes were staring at it.

This feather figure is very complete, and he is even wearing a neat Taoist robe.

The beak of a face occupies almost a third of the area, but there is a serenity in his eyes.

Looking at the clothes and the eyes, Lin Xiangzhi already knew that this was the master.

Is it the master who died this time?

She knew that in this situation, she really couldn't do anything.

She couldn't help but look around, hoping only that the legendary Demon Slaying Venerable would appear and change everything.

But she saw no signs.

At this time, Ji Que's voice floated in slightly, and said, "Wait a while, turn into a cat, pounce on me as much as possible, I won't slow down." ”

"Huh?"

Before Lin Xiangzhi could react, he saw Ji Que and Ning Hongyu walking forward.

After the officials in front were squeezed, they were a little dissatisfied, but after seeing Ning Hongyu's red robe, they immediately stopped drumming and looked respectful.

And Ji Que and Lin Xiangori endured more white eyes.

For a while, Lin Xiangzhi was a little dazed.

Aren't these two afraid of death?

At this time, the contemplator in the cage has been raised.

He was pinched by the neck by the official, like a goose being lifted, and could only flapp his wings.

Who would have thought that the master of the Five Realms Natal Realm would now be humiliated and manipulated at will like this.

The bear-backed officer pinched him by the neck, lifted him up, and leaned against the statue.

The strange statue's eyes were still dripping with blood, and the red fish could sense that it had turned back into a dead thing.

"Cotton, iron!"

Seeing that the officials concocted the same method, they raised Lin Xiangzhi's master in front of the "earthworm lead".

As a result, the next moment, he suddenly felt empty in his hands.

The official hurriedly turned his head, only to see a green-robed official hook hooking the sacrifice with an iron hook, and ran away with the three iron cages next to him in an instant.

The remaining two cages were carried away by a red-robed official.

At this moment, a roar sounded, and the four long-waisted species reacted and chased after them with long legs.

At this time, Ji Que had rushed to the bottom of the steps.

Before the officials could react, they were knocked out with a bang.

Bang la la blah!

It was the sound of the long-legged species running on the road.

They are three zhang high, and their legs are not short, and one step is equal to the distance of six steps between Ji Que and Ning Hongyu.

But at this time, Ji Que's legs had already swayed like crazy and turned into a phantom, and if this long-waisted species ran one step, he could run ten steps.

His hair fluttered in an instant, and his tight skin rippled like water.

Lin Xiangzhi grabbed the iron cage and turned back into a cat's body, and at this moment the body has completely turned into a straight line.

The wind was howling all around, and she couldn't even open her eyes.

Yes, without any hesitation, Ji Que, who had just run a distance, was full of firepower, and the Zhenyuan Lian behind him fluttered like fire.

Ning Hongyu followed behind the other two cages, his legs also shook into a phantom, and his plump chest shook violently.

This was the second time she'd found it in the way.

The first time was also with Ji Que and when he was fighting with Xu Qingqing.

Ji Que has four belts, and there is a cat hanging on it, and she only needs to carry two cages, which is definitely a big advantage.

But Ning Hongyu soon found that he was gradually unable to keep up with the season.

"Hahahaha!"

Ji Que, who was running wildly in front, rushed out like a madman, bringing gusts of wind.

When he rushed to the woods where he had entered, he struck several human trees and broke them on the spot, leaving only two legs to move underneath.

But what could be clearly seen was that the eyes in the bark were full of relief.

The long waist is not slow, tearing and chasing.

Ning Hongyu saw that he was about to be approached, and he swam on land and ran into the crack with the cage.

The crevice in the underground mountain is quite spacious for them, but it is crowded for the long-waisted species.

But what Ning Hongyu didn't expect was that the speed of those long-waisted species was not slow after entering, because their bodies were as flexible as snakes in an instant, and they could continue to accelerate by squeezing the mountain wall.

Ning Hongyu breathed rapidly, frantically stepped her legs, and the demon knife behind her buzzed out of its sheath and followed behind her.

If she is overtaken, she will have to fight!
