Chapter 60: A Night Trip to the Palace
The sunset of the royal palace city is very beautiful, the sunset is slowly sinking against the golden sand dunes, the line close to the desert loess is dark and dull, and a large empty sand land in front of it is sparkling and sprinkled with gold.
The yellow sand on the street was swept up by the wind, covering the entire ancient city of Wangshe with a gray veil.
There are no more pedestrians on the road.
The rune beads closed the window to prevent the yellow sand from sweeping into the house.
She sat down at the table, poured a cup of hot tea, held the cup and asked, "What did you mean when you said that Wangshe City was dangerous?" ”
The sun and gently fell on the table, and took off the hibiscus flowers above his head to make a seat. The little man in the center of the stamen shook his head a few times, and said in a soft voice, "There is a very powerful ghost king in the city, and no one who enters the palace can get out." ”
The golden pupils of the sun showed a look of memory, at that time, she was still a hibiscus flower, growing on a very ordinary earth and stone in Wangshe City.
She saw a lot of monks coming and going, some to kill evil spirits, and some to find the ancient pearl of the king's house.
But none of them were able to leave the city in the end, and the whole city seemed to be a place where they could only enter and not leave.
In the end, the people of the city were trapped and died here.
I don't know how long it took, she found out that she had changed her shape, but she couldn't get out of Wangshe City, so she hid everywhere every day, until three hundred years ago, the barrier of Wangshe City suddenly opened by itself, and she escaped.
Fu Zhu asked, "Do you know what that ghost king looks like?" ”
Riji scratched his head and thought for a while, and shook his head slightly, "I haven't seen her appearance." ”
Riji said apologetically: "My transformation is too weak, even if I raise my head, I can only see the corners of the ghost king's clothes." ”
She seemed saddened that she couldn't provide useful information to the rune beads.
Fu Zhu put the villain in the palm of his hand and bowed his head to talk to her, "It's okay, don't feel sorry, maybe that ghost king is not that powerful!" ”
Riji burst into tears and smiled, nodding again and again, "Fu Zhu is very powerful." ”
Fu Zhu was the most powerful person she had ever met.
The girl was amused by her, and her solemn mood was swept away.
She became more and more curious about the secrets of Wangshe City.
The prayer flags hanging by the window sway leisurely, and occasionally the quaint hexagonal palace bell rings, which looks very abrupt in the quiet of the royal palace.
Two windows opened quietly, and several figures jumped down, but the squirming movement was not loud, and it did not wake up the others in the inn.
Fu Zhu looked at the three people who stayed in the inn today, sneakily going in one direction, and she subconsciously wanted to follow.
Remembering that Wusheng and Riji were still sleeping, they crept back to sit back.
A pair of eyes looked at her fixedly in the dark, and suddenly said, "You want to go along?" ”
Fu Zhu was startled by this sudden sound, and the dark room suddenly lit up with fire.
Riji rolled over, rubbed her eyes and sat up, she didn't have the patience to be disturbed by sleeping, she asked softly, "Fu Zhu, what's wrong with you?" ”
Fu Zhu was also surprised that Wu Sheng opened his mouth to speak, she raised her eyes to look at Wu Sheng again, he had already closed his mouth, as if the voice just now was not what he said.
Fu Zhu gently touched the small flower on the top of Riji's head and said, "It's nothing, just now a few figures sneakily left the inn, just a little curious." ”
Riji covered his mouth, only opened his two thumbs, and said, "Did Fu Zhu just want to save them?" The innkeeper said that it would be dangerous to go out of the inn at night. Fu Zhu must be very kind-hearted, so he wants to save people regardless of his own safety. ”
Wu Sheng raised his eyes and looked at the rune beads.
He knew that she was not such a kind-hearted person.
Fu Zhu had a nonchalant face, how should she explain it to Riji, she really didn't think about it that way.
I'm just curious about those few people going out in the middle of the night, knowing that it's not safe, where are they going?
It was too troublesome for Kazuri and this one-tendon elf to explain, so Rune Zhu acquiesced to her idea.
Riji flew to the window, opened a small slit, and squinted one eye to look outside, there was no one on the road.
She tilted her head and asked, "Fu Zhu, which direction are they going?" ”
Fu Zhu stepped to the window in one step, opened the window wide, and pointed in the direction, "No, that's over there." ”
Riji exclaimed, "It's the palace, they're going to the palace!" ”
"The palace?" Fu Zhu muttered rhetorically, and looked in the direction of the palace, where a huge bright moon was covering the sky above the palace.
Those monks should have wanted to find Wang She Guzhu.
"Let's take a look, too." Fu Zhu tilted his head and said to Riji and Wusheng.
Wu Sheng had already naturally climbed up to the frost and snow, but he hesitated a little, "But the palace is very dangerous, and the rune beads must be careful." ”
The girl promised softly, but her tone was extremely firm, "I will protect you and Wusheng." ”
Riji smiled and flew to the body of the frost and snow sword.
The long sword broke through the air, and the silver-white sword qi was like a bright moon and clear light in the ancient city of the king's house.
The palace was very large, and when they arrived, they could no longer find the monks.
But there seemed to be a lot of people here, and they could hear a lot of rustling sounds and small conversations.
"Are you sure that the royal house is in the palace? We've been looking for so long, and Mao hasn't found it either. ”
"Big brother can't say that, isn't there still a lot of jewelry!"
A chestnut fell on the speaker's head, and he shouted angrily, "We are monks, what is the use of asking for this mortal jewel?" ”
A graceful woman took the jewel from the monk's hand and couldn't put it down, "Why is it useless?" How beautiful, I can't find the ancient pearls of the royal house, so it's good to take some jewelry with you! It's better than going home empty-handed. ”
The eldest brother was silent and approved of what the woman said.
"But it's strange to say, this royal palace has already been flooded with a large number of people, why is there no one to take the jewels of the palace?" The woman held the pearl and jade and asked suspiciously.
The man at the head didn't seem to have thought about this problem, he was stunned, suddenly reacted, and hurriedly took the woman's hand and shouted, "Hurry up!" ”
The woman was pulled by him and staggered, and the pearl and gem in her hand fell to the ground, bouncing and rolling towards the palace gate.
The younger brother behind him was still pretending to be jewelry, and when he heard the voice of the eldest brother and raised his head, his eyes widened suddenly, and he didn't know what he saw, and his figure fell to the ground with a bang.
The woman who had just stepped out of the palace gate turned around abruptly, and what she saw was this scene, she covered her eyes with a scream, and asked in a trembling voice, "What's wrong with him?" ”
The man's heart sank, "Do you remember what the madman on the street said on the first day he came to Wangshe City?" ”
The woman tried to think about it for a moment, looked at the man, and said in unison, "Don't go to the palace!" ”
At that time, none of them took this sentence to heart, after all, everyone came for the royal house, how could they not go to the palace?
She hated that the madman had soiled her clothes, and with only a slight kick, he was dead.
The woman suddenly became frightened, and she held the man's hand, "I don't want to be crazy, let's go!" ”
A little lost
