Night.

The moon is dark and the wind is high.

"Not very lucky."

Zheng Xiu stared at the black night sky, the cold moonlight, and said a word.

"Okay meow."

When the watchman sounded the gong of the two watches, two figures, one big and one small, quietly swept out of Zheng's house.

Zheng Xiu was dressed in a tight-fitting night suit, and his well-proportioned body was undoubtedly revealed. On his back, a black-clothed cat in the shape of a "cat", also dressed in tight-fitting black, with a hole in the buttocks, and a fluffy tail sticking out of the clothes, swinging bewitchingly.

The orange cat flew in the sky grabbing the man's clothes with both hands.

There were a few twists and turns in the matter of the orange cat's defense in the daytime, but the final result was good - this incident successfully made the orange cat make up his mind and stand on the same front as Zheng Xiu.

They share a common purpose.

They planned to explore the palace at night and go straight to the entrance of the underground Changyan.

Zheng Xiu wanted to use Qing Shisan's [Ferryman] to reach the key point, but unexpectedly, Qing Shisan, who was full of confidence, looked at it after a fierce operation, and was dumbfounded.

The "hole" that shouldn't exist in the world of the red point, even Qing Shisan, who is a "ferryman", can't reach it through the Bund.

"I can't go, it's normal."

The orange cat was very calm about this: "If that place is really the 'hollow' leading to Changyan, the surrounding area is equivalent to Changyanzhong." With his current capabilities, the Bund cannot dock with it. ”

In the night sky, a humanoid twist silently approached the palace from the sky.

In the distorted blackness, a pair of invisible wings stretched out.

On the way to the Royal Palace.

Zheng Xiu asked the doubts in his heart.

"Fifty paths, three paths of heaven, earth and man, why do you think that the main core of that authority is the 'emperor'?"

At that time, the orange cat was convincing, Zheng Xiu did not refute it, and when he thought about it, he felt that there was something wrong in it.

"Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, Three Venerables and Nine Streams?"

Unexpectedly, the orange cat sneered, squinted at Zheng Xiu, and showed a look of disdain.

Zheng Xiu looked back and sighed in his heart. Compared with the lonely back in the attic, he still likes the unruly appearance of the orange cat, which is orange in orange, which is very good.

"Ahem."

"That's just an 'outside'." The orange cat pointed to his cute eyes and said proudly: "We exist and can see through the outside and look directly at the essence and the core. ”

"Really?" Zheng Xiu nodded vigorously in agreement, but said a questioning sentence on his lips.

"The world needs all kinds of 'people', and the containers occupy an important position, and it is these positions that form a complete whole, a world that you can feel."

"There is also a division of authority; What you think of as wind, flowers, snow, moon, thunder, swamps, mountains, forests, and flames are just the most basic elements that make up a world. ”

"They are equal, they exist forever, but they cannot dominate."

"Any dominance of any one will inevitably cause a serious imbalance, and 'here' will never converge in such a stable and mirror-to-mirror manner."

"Mirror?"

"Changyan, and Changshi."

There's always something fresh to dig out of the orange cat's mouth.

This is also the reason why Zheng Xiu misses the unruly meow.

Decadent cats don't speak.

Rebellious cats love to beep.

When Zheng Xiu heard this, his eyes flickered, and after a while, he couldn't help but smile slightly: "It seems that the world I am in is very small, and the 'world' outside is very large, and I am starting to look forward to it." ”

The orange cat fell silent suddenly.

Zheng Xiu hugged the orange cat, let the breeze come slowly, and spontaneously passed by the ear. He put aside the depression of Fengbei for the time being, and looked forward to the excitement of the outside world through the words of the orange cat, staring at the dim stars in the sky, as if he could see through the night and beyond the night sky.

"In my cognition, the universe is infinite, beyond the sky, there is a bright sea of stars, and the stars are the last fireworks left when the planet is annihilated hundreds of millions of light years away."

"Say, what's going on out there? Do you have authority and can fly freely? ”

"Fengbei is detached at this moment, can he wander among the stars as he likes?"

Under the moon, the man's eyes were blazing, and he opened his arms and looked up firmly at the stars. This scene made the orange cat look slightly stunned, and Zheng Xiu at this moment reminded her of a long, long, long, long time ago, in a dilapidated and decaying world, in the ruins of high-rise buildings collapsing and monsters raging, lonely and helpless looking up at the sky.

"You won't want to know."

The orange cat shook his head, his expression a little amused.

"Tell me, you won't die."

"If I told you that what you thought was the world was just a shipwreck, would you believe it?"

“…… If you don't say it, you won't say it, is it interesting to talk nonsense? ”

The corners of Zheng Xiu's mouth twitched, and his interest was extinguished by the orange cat's words.

"Whew, stupid container."

After a while.

The two of them came to the top of the palace.

Zheng Xiu closed his mouth and kept quiet.

Looking down at the palace from above, the walls are lit up inside and outside, as if it was heavily defended.

Zheng Xiu's "Phantom Yarn" only has an effect similar to "camouflage", and it is not really invisible. It's easy to fool ordinary people's eyes, but if you get too close and meet a stranger, it is still easy to see through with the five senses of an alien.

The Jingzong has already settled in the imperial palace, and the palace contains a "secret factory" that has been inherited for hundreds of years, which is not as simple as it seems on the surface.

"Don't move!"

High in the air, the orange cat flexibly pulled Zheng Xiu's clothes, changing from a back position to a posture of stepping on Zheng Xiu's head. She stood on Zheng Xiu's skull, and her cat pupils glowed faintly green.

"I didn't move."

Zheng Xiu spread his hands.

The orange cat stared at the vast palace and fell into deep thought.

"What do you see?"

"Sure enough." The orange cat held his chin: "It's a 'flower'." ”

"Speak human words."

"I said, it's 'flowers.'"

"Forget it, come on, take a picture." Zheng Xiu nodded his eyebrows with his tail finger and motioned for the orange cat to interject an eye.

When Lu Zhen faced the "Yuan Baby", Zheng Xiu was fortunate to be "opened" by the orange cat and saw something deeper hidden under the surface. This "eye-opening" is much better than "inspiration". In other words, [Inspiration] should be promoted to the end, similar to the kind of vision that orange cats open their eyes.

"Tsk, scum."

The arrogant Lord Anne was disdainful, but obediently stretched out her claws and nodded on Zheng Xiu's forehead.

Lady Anne and Zheng Xiu now have a solid cooperative relationship, or an almost contractual relationship. She refuses verbally, but her body is honest. She obviously understood that to tide over the difficulties, she urgently needed Zheng Xiu's help.

The cat's soft and swollen meat ball pressed on Zheng Xiu's head, making a seductive soft sound. In an instant, Zheng Xiu's eyes suddenly brightened.

The lights of the palace at night faded and changed to black and white like a mime movie. The silhouette of a human figure appears in Zheng Xiu's field of vision, either clear or dim.

Among them were four of the brightest outlines, as harsh as ink on white paper, a rich black.

"Inhuman, four."

Zheng Xiu felt something, and the next second his eyebrows jumped suddenly, and his heart was stunned. What shocked him the most was not the four "familiar" aliens from the Pure Sect that he expected, but ...... Root.

At some point, the underground of the palace was covered with huge rhizome veins, twisted roots like terrifying tentacles, centered on one of the palaces, radiating to all sides, encompassing the entire palace.

"Don't stare at that place for too long, be careful of being discovered."

The orange cat yawned, saying to be careful, but his tone was unimpressed.

Zheng Xiu soon understood the "source" of the tentacle net, Changyang Palace, the hall where the eldest princess lived, she used to be Erniang and is now the eldest princess, holding a baby waiting to be fed in her arms, and several women kneeling beside her, who were taking turns to feed the saint with the "rations" of white flowers.

This scene made Zheng Xiu feel ridiculous, but he couldn't laugh at all. The funny thing is that the first person who is supreme in the Daqian Dynasty, the current emperor, has not yet been weaned. What makes Zheng Xiu unable to laugh is that Erniang's state at the moment is obviously abnormal.

"You say it's ...... Flower? ”

Zheng Xiu lowered his voice and turned his head to stare at the orange cat: "Is this a flower?" ”

At least...... Gotta bring a stamen!

It's all tentacles, how can it be flowers?

There was no time to complain in his heart, Zheng Xiu closed his eyes a little helplessly: "The 'flower' in the ten days and nine earths? Erniang became a stranger? ”

"Wrong."

The orange cat shook her head and denied Zheng Xiu's speculation: "The stupid container, the alien you said, is a 'container', but she, no." She is the 'flower'...... Itself. ”

"I don't understand."

The orange cat thought for a moment: "'Snatching the house', do you understand?" ”

Seeing that Zheng Xiu still looked unconvinced, the orange cat explained patiently for the first time: "The amount of mortal weapons is not enough to accommodate 'them', so in the long years, soaked in the filth of Changyan, the container that is enough to hold them was born, and with the container, they have a place to live, and the two combine to give birth to something else." ”

The orange cat thought for a moment: "Reluctantly, it can be regarded as a god." ”

"God?"

Zheng Xiu was stunned, and looked down at the tentacle net with the orange cat's field of vision, with a complicated mood: "That's it?" ”

"Stupid container, don't be stupid! Its ontology is naturally outside the ordinary world, so I said it was 'taking away', the Erniang you said in your mouth is not an alien now, but it has the power of a stranger. ”

"Is she still the person I know?"

The orange cat thought for a moment and said, "It's hard to say. If her relationship with Him is similar to that between me and you, it may not be a complete erasure of the human soul. The containers will be attracted to each other, at least they will look ...... It's like a container. If I'm not mistaken, there's a good chance she's still staying true to herself. ”

Hearing this, Zheng Xiu took a deep breath, temporarily put aside his distracting thoughts, and stared intently at the net under the palace.

"This big net of roots and whiskers was laid by her after she returned to the court, and in just one day, this place has become her territory."

Zheng Xiu's gaze wandered and he muttered, "Huh? I found it, the entrance to the secret passage should be in the secret compartment of the imperial study, no wonder she lives in Changyang Palace, not far from the imperial study. The net is too dense there. ”

"It's a monk...... No, it's a fan ballad! He stood guard on the roof of the study. ”

Zheng Xiu's eyes froze, and he suddenly smiled: "Fortunately, I was prepared." ”

"Oh?"

The orange cat's eyes lit up.

Zheng Xiu lifted his sleeves and proudly revealed to the orange cat the shackles he had drawn on his wrist in advance.

"Exile stance."

The shackles were revealed, and Zheng Xiu established a connection with his heart in the dark.

"Isn't your 'prisoner' useless?"

"Nonsense, one day is a prisoner and a lifetime prisoner, that is the foundation of this king's life, how can it be said that it will be abolished."

The panel of the [prisoner] doorway was garbled, and Zheng Xiu speculated that it should be caused by distorted interference. His avatars are all on the table, and he can't use them, but there are other things in the prison.

The effect of the [Dark Cooking Technique] talent reminded Zheng Xiu that even if the [Prisoner] was disturbed, he was still a [Prisoner], and the orange cat did not understand the gold content of the [Prisoner].

When Orange Cat talked about the fallen authority, Zheng Xiu suspected that his [Prisoner] was what Orange Cat was looking for. But the orange cat knew the path Zheng Xiu took, but still denied it, Zheng Xiu could only trust the orange cat's vision and intuition.

Besides, "prisoner" is the nemesis of all things, and "prisoner" is a verb. Perhaps, the meaning of the existence of the [prisoner] is to seize this authority?

It's possible.

While thinking, Zheng Xiu activated the "Exile Posture", and five "mayflies" swam out of the void and slowly swayed beside Zheng Xiu.

The appearance of the five mayflies made the orange cat look disgusted.

Zheng Xiu smiled, didn't explain, and let the five mayflies burrow into his body.

In an instant, Zheng Xiu's body turned into a translucent posture, and illusory tentacles like smoke and fog appeared on the surface of his body.

"No matter how weak the life is, if it is placed in the right position, it can bloom with its own brilliance, don't underestimate these mayflies, they look inconspicuous, sometimes I just need him to be inconspicuous."

Zheng Xiu grabbed the orange cat's tail, and the orange cat's body also turned into a translucent and illusory shape.

"Stupid container, you did a good job this time."

As soon as the orange cat's words of praise came out, the cat's face collapsed in an instant. It suddenly occurred to her that this weak being, even with its special "abilities", could never have any effect on the great, proud, extraordinary, and eternal Lord Anne.

Now that the ability of "Mayfly" is in effect, doesn't it mean that she is becoming more and more like a kitten?

Sad.

The orange cat was in a sad mood, and was sullenly grabbed by Zheng Xiu's tail and burrowed into the ground.

"Shall we go straight into that hole now?"

Unlike the formlessness of the incarnation, the ability of the "mayfly" is illusory, and it can travel through any tangible body. And this kind of shuttle gave Zheng Xiu the illusion of merging with the earth, and he was a little uncomfortable at first, but he drilled about three or four zhang deep before he gradually got used to that strange feeling.

"Go in?" The orange cat, who was in a bad mood, spoke like a fish bone, and she smiled coldly: "If you want to die, just say it." ”

"Then we are ......"

"If the 'Emperor' had really been there, he would have already gotten his hands on it, and there was no need to do anything more. I'm also a little curious about what He's waiting for. While reminding Zheng Xiu not to touch the other party's tentacles, the orange cat touched his chin and muttered, "I need to observe it up close,"

"The source of the twist."
