Chapter 34: The Origin of the Ghost Army
Seeing that the most noble king in the royal capital actually knelt under them in public, Hua Wuchen and the others couldn't help but be surprised!
Even Han Moli suddenly woke up in the middle of his life, and after waking up, he first wiped a handful of saliva, and then when he saw that it was just Wang Shang kneeling on the ground, he put away his shocked face, turned his head and fell asleep again.
Xiyue thought that Hua Wuchen would respectfully help the king up, but she didn't expect him to just turn and fan to his chest, and his tone was calm: "Say." ”
The king said: "Those are all the mistakes made by the lonely king many years ago...... At the beginning of King Lone's ascension to the throne, the dynasty was divided, and the power had long been hollowed out by the government and the opposition. Therefore, the lonely king trusted Wang Meng very much, who knew that his ambition was gradually rising, and he wanted to kill the king and usurp the throne! And the lone king Xi Wen had no other generals to compete with, so he was almost tortured and killed by him. Fortunately, at this time, a god came and gave the lonely king two strange stones, saying that the power of the strange stones could annihilate the rebels in one fell swoop. The Lone King had no choice but to take the strange stone, as soon as the strange stone came out, the large number of rebels died in an instant, and the corpses were all over the ground, and the terrifying scene was still engraved in the nightmare of the Lone King, lingering......"
When Wang Shang said this, Hua Wuchen and Feng Xiyue glanced at each other, and at the same time thought of the group of dark ghost troops outside the city.
The king continued: "After the rebels were wiped out, their souls reverberated in the city all day long because of their tragic deaths, and even killed the people in the city. Fortunately, with the help of the Heavenly Master's Mansion, he eliminated demons and slashed demons for the royal capital to protect the peace. However, although the Heavenly Master's Mansion had continued to recruit cultivators over the years, it was only able to set up and strengthen formations to keep the ghost army out of the city. On the night of the full moon, when the clouds are at its heaviest, they will make a comeback, and they have no choice but to order a curfew and lock down the city that day. Seeing that the immortal master is very capable, I wonder if I can ask the immortal masters to help solve the year-round troubles for the people? ”
"You mean, you want us to help...... Kill them? Hua Wuchen asked unhurriedly.
The king threw himself on the ground and kowtowed: "That's exactly what it means!" ”
As soon as his words fell, the gourd on Hua Wuchen's waist shook violently again, manic to the extreme, and almost rushed out of the gourd world.
Hua Wuchen looked down at it, still holding it down, but this time a small mana lingered around his fingertips to reinforce and seal the gourd.
When the king saw the shaking gourd, he asked suspiciously, "......What is this?"
"Oh, a little demon caught on the road is extremely restless, and the deity is even a little annoyed. As...... Refining into a pill and giving it to the king, this pill is not of much benefit to me, but if the king takes it, he can restore his body and have children, and he can prolong his life to more than 300 years old. ”
Hua Wuchenyun said lightly, as if threatening, and the one in the gourd was suddenly a lot calmer.
"That's great!" After hearing this, the king exclaimed excitedly, and then staggered to his feet, staring at the gourd with extremely eager eyes, eager to snatch it over, but he still held it steady and said loudly: "What kind of official position are the Xu Immortal Masters?" As...... How about the Heavenly Master's Mansion being handed over to the immortal masters to take care of? That Xiao Tianli will not have an opinion, and he can't get the Immortal Master Commander to ask for it. ”
Hua Wuchen shook his head: "No, we came here to travel and play, and we will leave after solving this matter for Your Majesty, and we don't have the time to take over the Heavenly Master's Mansion." ”
The king was very reluctant, but he had to express deep regret: "Okay then! It is a great luck that the immortal master can solve this matter for the people, and if the immortal masters are unwilling to stay, the lonely king is not reluctant. But...... I heard the Great Heavenly Master say that you live in the Warm Fragrance Pavilion? ”
"How?" Hua Wuchen raised his eyebrows.
"Those custom inns are not suitable for people of the status of immortal masters to live for a long time, it is better for immortal masters to stay in the palace! The lonely king should arrange a good palace to live. ”
"Okay!" Feng Xiyue shouted.
"Not necessarily!" Hua Wuchen said.
The two looked at each other and frowned at the same time.
Feng Xi Yue Miyin: "What is there to live in that kind of dusty place?" I think the palace is good. ”
Hua Wuchen's secret voice: "Listen to me, I naturally have my reasoning." ”
Feng Xiyue: "But...... Just now I sensed that the green color stone is in the palace! And it's just around the corner......"
Hua Wuchen was stunned, and Miyin: "Oh? ”
Feng Xiyue Miyin: "So let's stay, we can secretly go to find the colored stone in the middle of the night." ”
"Huh? Still going out in the middle of the night? Han Moli's secret voice sounded, I don't know when he woke up? even heard the secret voice conversation between Feng Xiyue and Hua Wuchen, and then interjected impolitely.
Feng Xiyue and Hua Wuchen glared at him in unison, he pouted and twisted his face, and then yawned.
The king watched the three of them frowning for a long time, and was so puzzled that he didn't dare to speak.
"I know the importance of colored stones, but warm up the Xiangge, just listen to me."
After Hua Wuchen finished the last secret sentence, he turned around and saluted to the king: "Let's warm up the incense pavilion, the king doesn't have to send each other, the formation is too big, it is inconvenient to visit the street market at night." ”
"Oh, it turns out that the immortal masters want to visit the night market of the royal capital, which can be regarded as the honor of the royal capital! The immortal masters are so happy to play, and the Lone King will not send anyone to disturb him! The immortals had a great time. ”
Hua Wuchen nodded, then turned around and walked out of the main hall, and after Xiyue and Han Moli politely said goodbye to the king, they followed.
When a few people walked out of the palace, they happened to pass by the main road at the door, and Xiyue walked on the road sensing the direction of the colored stones.
She looked left and right, except for the empty flat land on both sides, there were colorful flowers, under the scorching sun, steaming delicately, there was no hiding place for colored stones at all! But Xiyue clearly sensed that the green color stone was close at hand......
As you walk out of this avenue, the induction of the green color stone gradually weakens, which is extremely strange!
"Walk as you walk, don't always look left and right, watch your step!" Hua Wuchen shook his fan and looked ahead, he reminded as he walked.
At this time, Xiyue's toes really hit a raised stone, almost stumbling and tripping.
After being shocked, Xiyue rolled her eyes and followed with a puff.
On the way back, they did not exert any mana, but walked slowly, strolling while enjoying the street scene of the royal capital, as the sun gradually set, the lack of moon hung quietly in the sky, and the lights of the entire royal capital were not extinguished late at night.
The streets were filled with juggling and shouting for buying and selling, all of which were interesting, including face masks, delicate flower umbrellas, rouge weaving women, and crowds of people setting up stalls and rings...... The royal capital was shrouded in brightness and prosperity.
Xi Yue ran back and forth between several stalls, very happy, while Hua Wuchen and Han Moli followed behind slowly, the two walked side by side in silence, but looking at Xi Yue Huanyue and the two of them smiling at the same time, it didn't look like they had just fought last night for a while.
Under the peaceful light, a roast duck shop towered in the middle of the street, and Xiyue was standing in front of the shop waiting for them, and when she saw them finally slowly coming over, she raised her hand and pointed to the sign.
"Hungry, eat!"
Hua Wuchen raised his eyebrows and said disdainfully: "Why is it a roast duck restaurant again?" Do you still want to try a roast duck from the royal capital? ”
Xiyue's face was expressionless, but her tone was fierce: "I like to eat duck!" ”
Hua Wuchen took a breath speechlessly and turned his face to look into the distance.
Han Moli disagreed, raised his hand and pointed at the tip of Hua Wuchen's nose: "Hey, it's just a roast duck, it just so happens that Bengong is also hungry." ”
Saying that, he quickened his pace and walked into the store with Xiyue, Hua Wuchen shook his head, helplessly following.
Xiyue wiped her mouth full of oil after she was full of wine and food, and then suddenly stood up according to the table, covered her stomach and said, "This girl wants to go to make it convenient, you eat first." ”
After saying that, she left the dining table and strode out of the private room.
At this time, Hua Wuchen also got up slowly, he shook his fan and said to Han Moli elegantly, "I'll go and make it easier too." ”
Han Moli, who was stuffy, suddenly raised his head, he looked at Hua Wuchen's departing back, and wondered, "Could it be that you two have the same spleen and stomach?" ”
Then he didn't think much about it, lowered his head and bit the duck leg in his hand and continued to chew......
The lights are gorgeous, and the stars change.
Feng Xiyue stood not far from the roast duck restaurant with her arms crossed, while Hua Wuchen leaned sideways with a fan on her chest.
At this time, Han Moli flicked his sleeves and walked out of the store angrily.
"What makes Hongu pay so much? Sooner or later, dismantle your duck shop and change it to a custom inn! ”
After speaking, he patted the dust on his sleeve, and was so angry that he stomped his feet again and again, and said to himself angrily: "Okay, you two, deliberately left me in the store waiting for the checkout, right?" ”
Feng Xiyue, who was not far away, looked at everything, and she shook her arm and bumped into Hua Wuchen.
Feng Xiyue tilted her head and said, "Look, this is better than the backtracking technique, right?" ”
Hua Wuchen nodded, with a smile on his face: "Yes, it works very well." ”
When Han Moli began to look for them, Feng Xiyue and Hua Wuchen appeared behind him.
"Yikes! Young palace master, how did you settle the bill? That's embarrassing. Xiyue pretended to be surprised.
Hua Wuchen echoed: "Thank you for a meal, thank you Brother Han!" ”
"You don't pretend to be garlic! I don't check out, will you show up? Han Moli looked at their smug faces, and he was angry!
Then, Xiyue walked up to Han Moli and patted her shoulder solemnly: "In the future, you will be our money bag!" The Zixiao Palace family is so poor that they only have money left, and our senior sisters and brothers will definitely share the worries of the young palace master. ”
Han Moli waved Xiyue away, pouted and muttered: "If you promise to have a child with me, whatever you want!" ”
Xiyue shrank her head and didn't care, and then she jumped and walked away, as lively as a deer, and shouted as she jumped: "You dream!" ”
Hua Wuchen sneered, and also turned over and walked away.
Under the bright lights of the night market, the three of them walked leisurely to the vicinity of Nuanxiang Pavilion.
I saw the crimson yarn on the warm incense attic slab flying vertically and horizontally, dancing softly in the sky. On the scorching red light are several layers of railings of the Warm Fragrance Pavilion, and on the side of the railing on the top floor is a soft lady sitting alone.
The white moon emitted a soft light, shining through the land for hundreds of miles, and at the same time lightly touched her crimson shirt flying in the wind, and beside her was an urn of general brew, and a celadon cup was placed, and she drank alone in the void, cup by cup, as if she wanted to drink until the surrounding people were lonely, and the night was as cold as water.
Then she slowly looked at Mingyue, her eyes were far away, and she didn't notice that they were all looking at her downstairs.
