Chapter 49: Heavenly Demon Chess Game
The Imperial Prison, located in the northwest of Tiandu City, is under the direct jurisdiction of the Daheng royal family.
It is deserted all around, and a demon-suppressing pagoda stands majestically between heaven and earth, surrounded by some podium barracks.
The ground building of the Imperial Prison is only the tip of the iceberg, but its underground cells, torture rooms, and barracks are twisted and intertwined, extending in all directions, reaching deep underground rivers.
The most dangerous criminals in the eyes of the Daheng royal family are imprisoned here, and there are many of them who have cultivated to be the great rebels of the Xuan.
In the after-dinner conversations of the people in the market, this edict prison has even more detained many demons and monsters, which is gloomy and evil, resentful here, and ordinary people dare not approach.
Amid the sound of chariots and horses, a very ordinary-looking carriage stopped in front of the gate of the edict.
Two people walked down, two men in hoods and black cloaks.
The black-clothed man at the head showed his waist card, and all the jailers who had surrounded him because of vigilance dispersed like a tide, kneeling and bowing from afar, trembling and fearful.
One master and one servant went all the way unimpeded, and gradually went deep into the underground of the Imperial Prison, and after some circles, they came to a large iron gate. A jailer hurried to pick the lock, and quickly left.
"Qiuyang-kun, you will guard the outside of the prison door for the widow. Let no one be allowed in without the permission of the widow. ”
The middle-aged woman lifted the black hood on her head, and her voice was cold and full of majesty.
The years have carved some wrinkles in the corners of her eyes, and her eyes are only cold, deep and vicissitudes.
Although the are old, their beauty and charm still exist.
Baili Qiuyang hurriedly lifted the hood on his head, and bowed respectfully: "Yes, Your Majesty the Queen of Heaven." ”
Queen Dugu reached out and pushed open the heavy iron gate, and the door shaft made a harsh clicking sound.
She stepped into this huge, unusual cell.
This is the part of the Demon Suppression Pagoda inserted into the ground, with regular stone walls on all sides, mottled with moss, and the Xuanmen True Mantra on it is faintly visible.
In the center of the cell is a lock demon table, cut from a large white stone, and the stone surface is filled with dense demon-suppressing talismans written in cinnabar.
Eight very thick Beihai Xuantie chains converged on the lock demon platform from eight directions, and there were sharp big iron hooks at the end of the chains, which pierced through the pair of pipa bones of the fox woman one by one.
The fox woman was dressed in a tattered dress and a ragged skirt, her hair was scattered, her body was covered with filth and dried blood, and the four tails behind her were also unable to hang on to the ground. Motionless, like a dead man.
But as if sensing Dugu Xu's arrival, the fox woman moved, and the chains on her body also made a series of "jingling" sounds.
"Dugu Xu ......"
Qishan Yaoyue raised a decadent face full of dirt and no longer beautiful, and a pair of dark fox eyes looked through the dry and fluffy hair, looking at the arrival of her old opponent as cold as a ghost.
Then there was a hoarse sneer: "The queen's seat is very comfortable, right?" After all, it was bought for the life of your own flesh and blood in your womb...... It's a pity that you can't be the queen of the Shenlong Emperor, but you become the queen of his son, what a mother in the world! ”
Queen Dugu's willow eyebrows frowned slightly, her lips pursed slightly, and her right palm suddenly flicked into the void in front of her.
The palm wind turned into an undercurrent and flew out of the air, and finally turned into a big ice palm, slapping Qishan Yaoyue's left cheek fiercely.
"Pong!"
The big ice palm suddenly cracked into ice chips, and Qishan Yaoyue also left a red slap mark on her cheek, and a trace of blood overflowed from her nose and the corners of her mouth.
Queen Dugu's face sank like water, and her voice was like chopping ice and snow: "No one can take away what should belong to me." ”
Qishan Yaoyue spat out a mouthful of saliva mixed with blood, trembling to herself, and laughing to herself: "Don't fool yourself anymore, when that dream witch did it, it took the life of the fetus in your womb!" Dugu Xu, I have never seen a woman as crazy as you, even your own biological bones can be a victim of your upward climb! ”
Queen Dugu's face was terrifyingly cold, and suddenly her left hand was violently pushed out, and a strange cold current turned into a big hand, which grabbed Qishan Yaoyue's neck from afar, and slowly lifted the latter's body until it hung in the air.
The chains clanged.
Qishan Yaoyue was choked by the throat, her face was red and purple, and she looked embarrassed, but she didn't have any extra struggle.
Queen Dugu raised her right hand, and then a puff of green light flew into the air, quietly floating and sinking in front of Qishan Yaoyue's eyes, the blue light was faint, dispelling the darkness of a square foot.
"You should still recognize this jade, right?"
"Cangli...... The Wall ......"
Seeing that the other party said an accurate answer, Queen Dugu let go of her left hand, put Qishan Yaoyue, who was choked by her throat and carried to the air, back on the lock demon platform, and asked coldly: "Say, how many remnants do you Qishan White Fox Clan have?" What other intrigues are behind you? ”
Qishan Yaoyue covered her mouth and coughed a few times, and continued her ghostly sneer: "You have done a lot of evil, made countless enemies, wantonly killed my Qishan White Fox Clan, and now you are finally afraid?" ”
"Say it, don't force me to do it."
Queen Dugu's face became more and more ugly, and the temperature in the cell was also dropping rapidly, and a little bit of ice crystal particles were floating in the air.
Qishan Yaoyue just raised her face, her eyes were full of resentment and resentment, and she smiled arrogantly and proudly:
"The number of great balances is exhausted, the world is collapsing, and the troubled times will come out-
"Once the Heavenly Demon Chess Game starts, everyone will be reduced to pawns.
"Some pieces survive, while others die forever.
"But no matter what the process is, in the end, you Dugu Xu, as well as that Emperor Taikang, and the entire Daheng Dynasty, will definitely become the party that has lost miserably!"
Queen Dugu's eyebrows tightened: "What is the Heavenly Demon Chess Game?" ”
The other party didn't answer, just let out a rampant laugh, and didn't pay attention to her.
Queen Dugu's brow wrinkled a few more black lines: "Let me ask you again, what is the Heavenly Demon Chess Game?" ”
Qishan Yaoyue still didn't answer, and continued to laugh wildly, laughing forward and backward, her hair fluttering, as if Dugu Xu was just a ridiculous clown in her eyes at this time.
A cold glint flashed in Queen Dugu's eyes, and in the blink of an eye, she had already shifted to the front of the lock demon platform, grabbed Qishan Yaoyue's collar with both hands at the same time, and tore and shook it vigorously.
"I'll ask you again what the Heavenly Demon Chess Game is!"
"Are you deaf?"
"How dare you not reply to the widow's words!"
"Hurry back to the widow, what is the Heavenly Demon Chess Game!"
"Don't force the widow to kill you......"
At this point, she was completely enraged, insane, and hysterical.
Bursts of angry roars echoed through the cells, and the layers of echoes produced by encountering the stone walls were as terrible as demons.
At this time, Baili Qiuyang, who heard the abnormality outside, immediately rushed into the cell, pressed her arms left and right, and comforted her in horror and dismay: "Your Majesty, calm down, calm down!" ”
Queen Dugu suddenly woke up and found that the figure of Qishan Yaoyue had disappeared from the lock demon platform, and there were only scattered white bones left.
Eight dark iron chains also drooped on the lock demon platform, and the iron hooks at the end hooked through two large pieces of pipa bones, which were rusty.
Queen Dugu said blankly: "What about the fox woman?" ”
Baili Qiuyang frowned: "Qishan Yaoyue, the fox girl prisoner, died nine years ago, and at that time, you personally ordered that she should not be buried, so let her slowly rot in this cell." ”
After a pause, he boldly asked, "Queen of Heaven, have you forgotten everything?" ”
