At first, Xiao Shizhu only knew that Mo Zhai wanted to steal the soul umbrella, that is, to package himself as the son of a god by saying the prophecy in the umbrella, so Xiao Shizhu asked the ghost mother to list his behavior of stealing chickens and dogs one by one, and then sent a secret letter to tell Emperor Xudu.

The purpose of this was also to cause Mo Zhai to flee, and the Leng Zi who he had personally planted in various places and only had one-way contact with him, as well as the children of the Mo family in various places, lost contact with him for a while. At the same time, Mo Zhai trusted Lin Cong more, and let Lin Cong lurk well.

Xiao Shizhu's original intention was to teach the other party a lesson, and to use this to find out Leng Zi on Shuoyue Island; judging from the current situation, if what Lin Cong said is true, then Leng Zi is definitely not Aoki; Aoki is very likely to be just a substitute ghost.

And the letter mentioned that Bodhi, who should have died but was still alive, was able to contact Mo Zhai, and the task given by Mo Zhai to the other party was still an umbrella, which made Xiao Shizhu feel confused.

In addition, in the secret letter that Lin Cong gave him, there was also a message that Mo Zhai's target was not only an umbrella, but all the underworld artifacts, which made Xiao Shizhu suddenly feel that the matter was no longer as simple as Mo Zhai using the umbrella to prophecy and disguise himself as a son of a god.

After listening to the legend of the artifact, although Hu Hui and Wu Qiu Shou repeatedly emphasized to him that this was nothing more than a myth, and almost all beings in the underworld thought so, Xiao Shizhu still didn't think so, he thought that as long as it was related to Mo Zhai, this matter could not be just a legend.

He knew that Mo Zhai's soul was already very purposeful, which made Xiao Shizhu firmly believe that the other party would never do anything useless.

"Hu Hui, keep an eye on the raccoon Tianying. Xiao Shizhu, who was heading towards Nancheng, said to Hu Hui who was following closely behind him as he walked: "I understand that he has remorse on his face, but I am worried that his guilt will make him do the stupid thing of recovering the country, and we will be in trouble at that time." ”。

"No. Before Hu Hui responded, Xiao Shizhu spoke again: "Secretly investigate whether the artifact and the myth of Huangquan are true? Is there a ghost who deliberately turned the fact into a myth passed on by word of mouth?" ”。

This situation is not uncommon in the human world, so he thinks that it should be commonplace in the underworld, but the ghosts of the underworld do not dig into it. But if it is related to Mo Zhai, he must dig deeper.

As he spoke, he had already taken Hu Hui and Wu Qiu Shou to the outside of the city, and after bidding farewell to Hu Hui, he boarded his flagship without saying a word, commanded the sailors to raise anchor, and drove the sea falcons towards the way they came.

Xiaoyu Mountain City, in the Ghost Mother Palace, in the Absolute Fragrance Garden.

The ghost mother, who was tired for a day, looked at the bookbooks on the bookcase in front of her, shook her head slightly and sighed softly. The phoenix beside her also let out a crisp name with her sigh.

"It would be nice if Xiao Shizhu was here. The ghost mother raised her cheeks, glanced at the table full of musicals, turned her head to look at the two phoenixes standing on the birdstand, and after seeing that the two phoenixes also turned their heads to look at her, she smiled and said, "You can also help me review the musical, you say?" In his heart, he couldn't help but worry about Xiao Shizhu, who was fighting outside.

The two psychic phoenixes suddenly rolled their eyes, then shook their heads, and turned their heads away, which meant that they understood the words of the ghost mother. With white eyes and shaking his head, if Xiao Shizhu is here, you don't want him to sit down and help you review the book.

"Yes, with his ADHD personality. The ghost mother looked at the actions of the two phoenixes, giggled, and said, "The guy with a thorn in his buttocks, where can he sit still." ”。 After finishing speaking, he got up, walked in front of the phoenix, raised his hand and touched the heads of the two phoenixes.

The two phoenixes chirped, stretched out their heads with their necks high, and rubbed the palms and backs of the ghost mother's hands.

After a few moments, the Ghost Mother stretched and turned and walked slowly towards the door.

When I came to the door, I saw Ghost Qian'er standing by the door, and when she saw the ghost mother coming out, she hurriedly lowered her head; tonight, she was the personal maid of the ghost mother, responsible for the ghost mother's daily life.

This former pampered Linglong county lord also had confusion and fear after being captured, and also resentment;

But as time passed, she saw Xiao Shizhu's sincerity, and although she and her father were slaves, Xiao Shizhu and the ghost mother never bullied them. and knew that they were used to living a life of fine clothes and food, and the food and clothing they were given were not bad. Even if there is anything delicious in the palace, the ghost mother will give her some points.

Under the sincerity of Xiao Shizhu and his wife, the confusion in Ghost Qian'er's heart gradually subsided a lot. At first, he wanted to assassinate Xiao Shizhu, or use yellow thorn to sterilize the ghost mother, so that Xiao Shizhu would cut off his children and grandchildren, but he also completely dispelled it.

"My lord. Ghost Qian'er called softly, but never raised her head.

"Look up, Qian'er. The ghost mother smiled indifferently and said softly: "Last month, didn't General Xiao announce to the people of the whole country and start to implement the Datong policy from now on? Even if you are a slave and a servant, don't grovel to any ghosts? We are no different, please raise your head." ”。

"No. Ghost Qian'er replied and raised her head.

The ghost mother nodded with satisfaction, and turned her head to look at the Absolute Fragrance Garden in the night ahead.

Under the light of the blue moon, the grass is shining. Surrounded by fireflies, the grass blooms quietly in the dark. The buds are like delicate palace lamps bathed in the moonlight, quietly opening their white mouths under the gaze of the ghost mother, and then emitting a faint fragrance, with the night wind, diffuse in the Absolute Fragrance Garden.

"This epiphany is blooming, come with me and enjoy the flowers. The ghost mother said, taking a deep breath of the fragrant air, and walked forward slowly.

After spending a long time with Xiao Shizhu, she is also much more approachable than before. The current ghost mother rarely calls herself Lone or the King anymore, and she also learns from Xiao Shizhu, who calls herself me no matter what.

"No. Ghost Qian'er answered again and followed.

The two female ghosts walked slowly in the Absolute Fragrance Garden. Through the faint blue moonlight, I admired the flowering tubes among the flowers slowly raised, revealing the whiteness of dust and the beautiful petals.

It is pleasing to the eye, and the fatigue of the ghost mother is gone.

After they had walked around for a while, they came to a place where there were many epiphany, and watched carefully at the epiphany, which slowly opened its petals completely, and then began to wither after half an hour.

"It's really beautiful in a moment, eternal in a moment. Ghost Qian'er was amazed, and couldn't help but sigh when she saw those epiphany, and the petals slowly fell to the ground.

The ghost mother was slightly stunned when she heard this, then turned her head to look at the surprise and joy on her face, and asked curiously: "Qian'er, haven't you seen an epiphany before?"

"The land on Black Dragon Island is barren, and this 'beauty under the moon' can't grow. As she spoke, Ghost Qian'er shook her head slightly.

"Tomorrow I will ask the gardener in the palace to send you a few plants to your residence. The ghost mother didn't think about it, but as soon as the words fell, she saw that not far behind Ghost Qian'er, a black shadow flashed in the fluorescent dots, and then melted into the darkness. Immediately aroused the vigilance of the ghost mother.

The ghost mother, who was familiar with everything in the palace, knew that the place where the black shadow flashed was the western wall of the Juexiang Garden. Except for herself and Xiao Shizhu who could enter this Juexiang Garden, only the palace slaves on duty could, how could a black shadow suddenly flash? Without thinking about it, she jumped up on tiptoe. With her arms stretched out like wild geese, she easily crossed the top of Ghost Qian'er's head and flew towards the place where the black shadow flashed.

After the ghost Qian'er who stayed in place came to her senses, she hurriedly turned around and chased after the ghost mother, and couldn't help but ask, "My lord, where are you going?"

The ghost mother flying in the air did not answer, and was puzzled in her heart: "I obviously saw a black shadow, but why can't I feel the ghost qi other than me and Ghost Qian'er in the Absolute Fragrance Garden?"

In just two or three breaths, the ghost mother came to the place where the black shadow flashed just now, the corner of the west wall. looked around, but seeing that in addition to herself and some flowers and plants, the suspicion in the ghost mother's heart was a little heavier, which made her frown subconsciously.

Ghost Qian'er, who caught up after a while, stood still behind her and hurriedly asked, "My lord, what's wrong?" The ghost mother still didn't talk, just looked left and right.

There were no trees planted in the vicinity, so it could not have been her dazzled eyes that saw the shade of the trees as a dark shadow. After being sure that she had indeed seen a black shadow flash again, the ghost mother jumped up again, flew up the wall, and looked left and right.

But she couldn't see anything but the shadows of the buildings under the moon, and she couldn't detect the unusual aura around her, which made her even more confused.

"My lord. Ghost Qian'er, who was standing in the corner of the wall, looked up at the ghost mother standing firmly on the high wall, and asked curiously, "What are you looking for?"

"Ghosts. The ghost mother replied casually and continued to look left and right.

"Ghosts. Ghost Qian'er was slightly stunned, and then looked left and right with nervous eyes. But there was nothing but dead silence and patches of dappled shadows. This not only did not dispel the tension in her heart, but also added a little fear.

The trees planted not far away, their branches and leaves moving with the night wind, the shadows of the trees dancing with them, and the flowers and plants under the trees swaying, gave her the illusion that the more she looked at those black shadows, the more she felt like devils with teeth and claws.

She couldn't help but grab the hem of her shirt with her hand and hold her breath.

"Let's go. After a long time, the ghost mother jumped off the high wall and left on her own. Ghost Qian'er hurriedly followed, following closely behind.

The ghost mother looked around the wall for a long time, but she still found nothing, but before she did see a dark shadow flashing, and her heart was suddenly puzzled.

Her frowning eyebrows tightened a little, and she asked herself in her heart, "Am I really dazzled?
