Chapter 290: Go into the water and work
According to the book "The Tale of Jialan" that Lin Xiangzhi said, Ji Que quickly determined the common denominator of these bewitched people.
Without exception, all of these people have read this "Galan Strange Story".
Through the investigation of the Qingqi Division, this "Jialan Strange Tan" has only been circulated in the past six months.
In fact, there have been all kinds of idle books circulating in the capital, the most of which are all kinds of Yan Q records, what monks descend to the devil Yan Q records, and the gatekeeper romance records, which are always more outrageous and more widely circulated.
After all, the people's lives are hard, and they can only rely on these books to comfort their minds.
But in the past six months, I don't know when there has been a trend of reading tricks in the capital, and most of the stories are mainly horror and excitement, plus a little bit of that kind of content.
This kind of thing has long been strange, no one has thought much about it, who has thought about this investigation, only to find that this "Jialan Strange Tan" is the most widely circulated, as can be seen from the fact that a large family like Ningfu has this book.
This book is said to have been collected by a traveling monk from all over the world, and some of them are even written from the perspective of personal experience, giving people a sense of reality.
It's because of this realism that it's so exciting to read, so it's so popular.
Those who have read this book must have an impression of that kind of strange opera, and if these people listen to this kind of similar play, they may be tricked.
Ji Que couldn't help but analyze, "Could it be a psychological suggestion?"
The evil beast that Ji Que killed was quickly dismembered and studied by the people of the Qingqi Division, and the preliminary conclusion was that it was a centipede.
A large centipede with a human face and eyes on its head, and similar eyes on the inside of its body.
When these eyes come together, it is easy to affect people's minds, even for cultivators like Lin Xiangori.
The theater had long been empty and nowhere to be found, and "The Tale of Galan" was widely circulated, and finding the initiator was tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.
Some officials in the Qingqi Division even analyzed whether this book would be written by this killed centipede.
Because through observation, they found that the big centipede had been disassembled into many pieces, but some of the pieces were still moving, and there were even some careful thoughts, such as that they might bite people secretly, which seemed very smart.
So they thought that this centipede spirit might not be able to change even the wandering monk who wrote the book.
Ji Que and Lin Xiangzhi fished and enforced the law to stop this evil thing, but they didn't know if they had caught the murderer.
As a result, at this time, Ning Hongyu came over with a woman with a figure almost as hot as her.
Leaving the king?
Ji Que is face blind and his memory is not good, but he has a good impression of this king with a different surname.
Because there are very few women who can be equal to the figure of the female Shangfeng.
"You have done a good job with this eucalyptus, go, follow me into the palace, Your Majesty wants to see you both."
Hearing this, Lin Xiangzhi hurriedly said, "I also want to go, there was me in the broken eucalyptus that day."
King Liwang nodded, and said with an appreciative expression, "Your bait is indeed good, but Your Majesty only wants to see them now."
As he spoke, he took Ji Que and Ning Hongyu away.
Lin Kaori stood alone in the wind and was messy.
What is bait, I was obviously the main force that day, and he was the wing, okay?
Ji Que was still a little surprised that Da Sheng Chao, a man standing at the pinnacle of power, suddenly wanted to see him. ….
In the Northland, he is really the number one person, whether it is inside or outside the sub-building of the Demon Suppression Building, or in the large and small sects in the Northland, he has a certain weight in speaking and doing things.
But in this capital, he is indeed a real newcomer, if you have to talk about your identity, it is Miss Ning's good looks.
He didn't expect that he had just come to get a singing centipede and was summoned by the emperor.
At the same time, he also smelled trouble.
The steps to enter the palace are not as cumbersome as imagined, on the contrary, they are very simple.
The king took Ji Que and the two to an elegant side hall, and they didn't see a single eunuch and palace maid on the way.
In the side hall, a middle-aged man in black civilian clothes was sitting there
。
The man's face is not very outstanding, and it can even be said to be very ordinary, but just sitting there, he gives people a temperament that is not angry and arrogant, and people dare not look directly.
Ji Que was pondering how to salute, but Emperor Sheng Yu had already waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite, this time I have asked you."
There were melons, fruits and wines on the tables, and after Ji Que and the three of them took their seats, a homely exchange began.
Before talking about the matter, His Majesty the Emperor naturally praised the Ning family, expressed its help to the dynasty, and recalled that the ancestors had borrowed money from the Ning family.
This is naturally for the sake of getting closer, but the emperor naturally didn't just talk about it, but said in person: "If this thing can be done, it means that I owe the Ning family a favor, and if I can help with something, I will naturally do my best."
As a man standing at the pinnacle of power, the emperor's words will naturally not be empty checks, but it can be seen that the troubles he encountered are estimated to be really troublesome.
There are still troubles in this world that the emperor can't solve.
After that, Emperor Sheng Yu once again told the strange story of raising dragon Tan, and sure enough, it had some connection with the big centipede that Ji Que met that night.
The family members of those who were recruited by the people dreamed that their family members were full of eyes, while His Majesty the Emperor dreamed that the old dragon he raised was full of eyes.
At this time, Liwang introduced, "The centipede you killed, the Qingqi Division has found the relevant file, it may be the legendary 'Touch Dragon,'"
"Touching the Dragon?" Ji Que wondered.
"Touching a dragon is not a dragon, as you say, a centipede. Legend has it that this centipede grows on a tree in the sky, and if a dragon rests on the tree, it will try to burrow into the dragon's body and parasitize in it, and over time, the dragon will gradually decay and be controlled by it, which is very similar to the situation described by His Majesty." Liwang said seriously.
Ji Que and Ning Hongyu couldn't help but glance at each other.
Because after hearing the tree that grew in the sky in the mouth of the king, both of them couldn't help but think of the ancestral tree.
His Majesty the Emperor seemed to have just heard the news, and couldn't help but say, "You mean, someone is raising a dragon that touches the dragon and harms me, but how did the touch dragon come to the mortal world in the sky?"
Ji Que and Ning Hongyu didn't speak, but they guessed that it might have something to do with the foreign body meeting, or even with the gods in the sky.
"You two have a lot of contact with this kind of thing, what do you think?" The Emperor asked.
"If something really goes wrong with that dragon, what is Your Majesty going to do?" ….
"If you can't save it, you have to kill it." Emperor Sheng Yu said with a complicated expression.
Eventually, the four of them agreed on what to do.
The emperor found Ji Que and Ning Hongyu, not only because of their ability to deal with evil things, but also because they were "newcomers".
If this matter is made an article, it may cause a lot of turmoil, and it is most suitable for the two newcomers to take action.
Ji Que's goal is to go down and check the situation.
At this time, Ji Que and Ning Hongyu had already looked at the dossier of raising Longtan.
Ning Hongyu knew about the existence of Yanglongtan, but he didn't know that there was an ancient tomb under this Longtan.
It is actually rare for the palace to have ancient tombs, but it is understandable, because both the dead and the living of all dynasties like the place where feng shui gathers.
This ancient tomb was excavated and built by the third emperor of the Dasheng Dynasty, that is, from this generation of emperors, the royal family of the Sheng Dynasty had a history of raising dragons.
Because there is a strong dragon aura there.
Early the next morning, Ji Que and Ning Hongyu were ready to go into the water.
The water is dark green, and everything is secluded.
There is a row of snow plums planted on the edge of the pond, which shakes off with the wind and leaves a piece of pink, like a pastel dotted by a painter.
Ji Que and Ning Hongyu no longer hesitated, and jumped straight into the water, like a couple who threw themselves into the lake and died in love.
The water in this pool was very cold, a little biting, Ji Que thought about it, and the pores of his body skin closed, and he immediately isolated the cold feeling.
As they continued to dive, the sky above them was getting farther and farther away from the two of them
。
The well water is dark green, and I don't know the depth.
Ji Que and Ning Hongyu took a deep breath and began to dive.
At the same time, the sword bracelet in his hand lit up with a cold light, so that the two of them would not be blind in both eyes and claws.
Ji Que and Ning Hongyu were agile, like two swimming fish, diving rapidly.
In particular, Ning Hongyu, dressed in red, is like the most beautiful and moving mermaid in the world.
This waterhole was much deeper than Ji Que had imagined, and at his speed, he felt that he had been swimming for a long time, as if he had never been able to reach the end.
After a while, the pool of water finally came to an end.
There are several large stones at the bottom of the pool, and the stones are covered with moss, which looks like sticky snot, which is a little disgusting.
Ji Que and Ning Hongyu looked around and didn't find any useful information.
According to the dossier, the Dragon Dwelling was near that ancient tomb.
So, Ning Hongyu closed his right eye.
The flow of the pool was weak, not much stronger than the fluctuation of a butterfly's flapping wings, but as long as it flowed, she could feel it.
It didn't take long for Ning Hongyu to open his right eye and swim somewhere.
There, many of them have a huge water hole in sight.
The water hole is very rough, and it should be brought out when you shuttle, and it is full of potholes.
This rough cavern is not long, and it will come to an end in about half a tea time.
There was also a waterhole at the end of the cave, but the water was much shallower, and Ji Que and the two went upstream, and then got up from the water wet.
The two soon found themselves in a side hall.
The cyan brick walls, the cyan lamps, and the faint glow of the blue fire on the lamps all prove that this is a corner of the underground mausoleum. ….
In addition to this side of the waterhole, there are only a few bluestone pillars left in this side hall, which looks very simple.
If this is really an underground imperial mausoleum, Ji Que feels much more cold than he imagined.
However, Ji Que quickly thought that this tomb was built by the three emperors of the Sheng Dynasty, and the style at that time was relatively primitive, which was quite different from the current style.
Those cyan flames had been burning, reflecting the walls in cyan, Ji Que couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said, "This fire won't burn since the time of the three emperors, right?"
He knew that there were friends in the South China Sea, and legend had it that the people were not mermaids, but just human-shaped fish tails, with a terrifying and hideous appearance.
Not only do they not shed tears, but they sing beautifully, and it is said that they are particularly cruel when eating people, and many small fishing villages along the coast are deserted.
And the fat of the author is said to be able to last for thousands of years if it is used as fuel.
So Ji Que couldn't help but suspect that the lamp oil might be the fat of the handsome.
Thinking that he still had something to do, Ji Que no longer dwelled on this little thing, what he had to do now was to find the dragon.
But even Ning Hongyu lost his direction for a while.
Even the traces of the Qingqi Division officials who came down before were not found.
Ji Que thought for a while and jumped into the pool again.
He circled the pool at an astonishing speed, making sure there was nothing he was looking for.
In addition to the water, there are only a few statues in this pool of water.
These statues are supposed to be based on some strange beasts, sunk under the water, except for the fact that they look a little strange, there is nothing special about them.
As a result, at this time, Ning Hongyu went into the water, pointed to the bottom of a statue, and gently waved it with his hand.
The floating algae and mud in the water dispersed, revealing a hole made of silt.
This is also supposed to be left behind by the dragon.
The two of them continued deeper, and then came to a stone temple in the water.
This stone hall should be a side hall, and it is not very large.
But right there, Ji Que and Ning Hongyu heard a clang at the same time, and suddenly turned their bodies.
They must have touched the mechanism, and the ground drilled out in an instant
Countless sharp thorns.
These sharp spines are long, pointed, and glowing with a faint green light, enough to pierce a person's calf.
Ji Que looked at his feet and muttered, "Grandma's, shoes don't cost money?"
As he spoke, he lifted his foot, and found a sharp hole in his shoe, and the sharp thorn that was going to penetrate the sole of his foot, for the dissipation had not pierced his epidermis at all.
And Ning Hongyu relied on his reflexes far beyond his peers to dodge.
The two didn't stay long, their bodies swept like light and shadow, and they went out of the side hall.
Outside the side hall is a very empty space, but the four walls are still rocks, and there is no entrance to be seen.
In this empty space, there were still only a few gruff pillars, burning cyan flames, and rows of statues of alien beasts that resembled those in the water before.
I don't know if these statues are too old or for some reason, they always give people a sense of model.
It's that you know its form, but it's hard to get to know its facial features, but it obviously has five senses.
It's like they're from an extremely distant place, so far away that they don't seem to be in the world, and it's hard to see.
Ji Que and Ning Hongyu continued to explore, and soon found a stone platform.
The stone pestle is there, and it looks like an altar.
At this point, the traces of human repair can't help but be obvious, unlike the previous pillars and sculptures, which are between artificial and natural.
The stone platform is cyan in color, with stairs on all sides, and the four corners above the platform are four stone carvings of human faces.
Ji Que walked up, only to feel that there was a layer of sand on the stone steps, and as soon as he left, because there were holes in the soles of his shoes, the sand got into his shoes.
"Corrupted?" Ji Que walked up step by step, frowning.
Soon, he walked to the platform and saw a room.
A room suddenly appeared on this altar, and Ji Que and Ning Hongyu were a little surprised.
The room looked like a coffin box magnified several times over, rectangular in shape, with windows and no doors.
I saw that the window paper in this room had decayed into a lake, and it looked a little terrible under the blue and blue firelight.
Ji Que stood in front of the window, and his brows couldn't help but raise slightly.
There were no beds, no chairs, no tables, only a well.
It was a very large well, and tiny bubbles kept coming out of it, as if something was living in it.
Dragon?.
The sword flew in the rainstorm
