Chapter 425: Insect Shadow
In Ganquan Palace, the queen stood in front of the mirror and tried on the colorful palace clothes offered by the people below.
The skirt of the neon dress palace is exquisitely made, and the name is called: "Wuyun Yan Luo Baoxiang Skirt". The whole body is cut with bluebird down feather silk twisted as feather silk. At the collar, wide sleeves, long placket, skirt, and waist hem, each embroidered with a flying cloud through the xia belt, which is white, green, red, Xuan, and yellow. In accordance with the habit of Yaochi, the shoulders and skirts are also decorated with Chinese sparrow tail feathers, and inlaid with jadeite, agate and other things.
In appearance, the Baoxiang skirt is very gorgeous. And from the perspective of practicality, it is also a good magic weapon. Even in the Western Wilderness, the Yaochi Immortal Clothes are the treasure clothes that many monks dream of. And some male cultivators will also try to buy a set of self-defense for safety.
The queen tried on the mirror, and suddenly put it down again: "It's a pity, this is just ordinary Xian'e's clothes." β
Yaochi has been closed for many years, but the Three Blue Bird Kingdom follows the tradition and prepares to pay tribute to Yaochi every year. However, the Yao Pond was delayed, and too many tributes were accumulated. Under the rule of Concubine Yi, the Three Blue Bird Kingdom was allowed to sell some defective products.
Of course, even if it was Mother Yao. The remnants attached to the production of tribute were also tacitly allowed to be peddled by the Three Blue Bird Country.
Therefore, "Yaochi Tribute" is a popular gimmick in the Western Wilderness.
This time, Qi Yao counted the tributes and took out some of the feather coats, golden bottles, and fans used by ordinary immortals to sell. Even if it is only a shop in a small square, the flow of customers is excellent.
Not far from the queen, the servant stepped forward and whispered, "Your Majesty, the servant heard that the Blue Bird Trading House is offering a treasure of the Divine Mother Phoenix Dress as a town store. Although it is a defective product, if you can, you can try to collect it. β
"Defective?"
Displeasure flashed in the queen's eyes, but when she remembered the majesty of Mother Yao in the past, she couldn't help but be moved.
The goddess mother phoenix dress, even if it is defective, is a rare immortal treasure in the world.
Yao Mu Niangniang is one of the five great monarchs of Xuanmen, and she attaches the most importance to etiquette. She set the seven-grade fairy system in Yaochi back then, and divided the Yaochi fairies into seven grades. Each grade has its own exclusive use and honor guard, and even the fancy on the clothes has special requirements. And all kinds of birds as clothing patterns.
The feather coat that Qi Yao took out and sold was actually the clothes of the fifth-class Xian'e.
As for the phoenix clothes dedicated to the Divine Mother, it refers to the clothes embroidered with the golden Phoenix Emperor, which can only be worn by the Divine Mother alone.
Qi Yao removed a serious phoenix dress from the gem and Hua Ling, and used it as a gimmick for a defective product.
But the flawed product of a phoenix dress is enough to make the queen and a large group of female cultivators excited.
"Go ask and see if they sell. β
At this time, a little boy in red ran over: "Your Majesty, the Seventh Elder is invited." β
"Oh, please come over, so idle?"
The queen instructed the people below to contact her, and she went to the location of the seven elders of Akagi.
These seven elders are the seven travelers who established the Red Woman Kingdom in the past. They obtained a copy of the "Red Girl Dragon King Sutra" from the female corpse, cultivated into a golden pill, and practiced in seclusion in Ganquan Palace.
When the queen came to the Yiguang Palace, she saw seven old men sitting on the diamond prayer plate, and each of them had a red gem inlaid on their foreheads.
"What are you looking for this king?"
The man in the center spoke, his voice hoarse and obscure: "Our plan can be closed, and the people who are waiting have arrived." β
"......The time has come?"
"Emperor Daojun, you deserve to fall. β
......
The queen sent someone to contact Qi Yao. Qi Yao directly proposed to meet the queen in person and go to Ganquan Palace to personally negotiate the price of phoenix clothes.
After the envoy returned, the queen invited Qi Yao and his party to Ganquan Palace as guests the next day.
Unlike last time, this time Ren Hong came in through the main entrance. As soon as he stepped into the gate of Ganquan Palace, he noticed a sword intent sweeping over his body.
But he played the role of a low-level monk, pretending to be unconscious, and followed the palace people to the palace.
"The people of the Pure Yang Sword Sect have a good relationship with the Red Girl Country, and they actually took the initiative to help them find out the details of the people who came?"
On the way, everyone saw a red flower garden.
"Jiudanzhi?" Qi Yao suddenly stopped and looked at the palace maids picking saffron in the flower garden: "This is ......"
Seeing this, the official who led the way smiled and asked, "The girl is interested in the 'Jiudan Powder' of our Red Girl Country?" Do you want to bring some with you when you go back?"
Hehe...... This kind of, you don't need it!
But the raw material of Jiudan powder is really Jiudan branch?
A trace of hesitation flashed on Qi Yao's face.
After dealing with the officials, the crowd moved on. Dong Zhu asked secretly: "Qi Yao, are you really sure that the so-called medicinal powder has nothing to do with Jiudanzhi?"
In Dong Zhu's mind, since Jiudanzhi is used in medicine to make powder. So isn't it the easiest way to ruin this flower?
"No, it definitely has nothing to do with Jiudanzhi. β
As if he was informing Dong Zhu, he also seemed to be comforting himself. Qi Yao couldn't figure out how the Nine Dan Branch, which was not at all toxic, could make such an evil thing as Jiudan Powder.
"So what do you think is the source of this powder?"
Qi Yao was silent for a moment, and said faintly: "I remember that the Heavenly Fragrance Moth among the nine great insects has the effect of hallucinating and fascinating the gods. Maybe the Jiudanzhi powder was just a disguise, and they didn't know where to get the Tianxiang borer powder. β
Ren Hong's knee hurt, and he felt like he had been hit by another arrow.
Okay, okay, anyway, this black cauldron, I'm set up, right?
Just now in the flower garden, I saw the palace maids picking safflower for medicine, and Ren Hong immediately understood the relationship between Jiudan branch and Jiudan powder.
"Hey...... Did you find out about this back then?" Ren Hong secretly talked to him.
He said in a strange tone: "No, it's the first time I've known it." The Nine Dan Branches can increase my original divine power. β
Jiudan powder does have the credit of Jiudan branches.
When the Tianxiang borer powder falling in the air is stained on the flower buds of Jiudanzhi, the strength of Jiudanzhi itself increases the hallucinogenic ability of Tianxiang borer powder, and its medicinal power is doubled.
"As Qi Yao said, Jiudanzhi is not poisonous. But it actually contains a wisp of divine power from my previous life, which can increase my creative power. Ren Hong: "Looking at it this way, not only the Tianxiang borer, but also several other insects and even my 'Pure World Pearl' can also be increased?"
The Nine Dan Branches are the creations of three generations, and they contain a little root mana of the three generations. It can have a stimulating effect on other creations of the three generations.
"It's hard to say, the Pure World Pearl is such a world-destroying weapon. It could have destroyed the world and purified the world. No matter how much it is enhanced, it will only increase the efficiency of human purification. β
However, the characteristics of the Jiudanzhi and other three-generation creations did surprise him.
How could he not have noticed this back then?
No, I guess I didn't see a single Jiudan branch at that time.
......
During the conversation, everyone came to the king's palace. The officials asked the crowd to wait a moment before retiring.
In the silent hall, there were only the three of Ren Hong and the four male servants pretending to be Bai Yun, Chi Liang and other maids.
Ren Hong sat cross-legged and silently performed the Tianyan Sutra.
Now that you have learned the reason for Jiudan Powder, then find an opportunity to throw the clue to Qi Yao and let her destroy the Tianxiang Moth. It's just that that thing is a bit troublesome, and it needs some external tools to destroy it without causing the plague of moths. Not...... Maybe you can use Dong Zhu's Nine Earth Scorpion? After all, that thing can also be increased by the Nine Dan Branch.
After a while, a female official came over to invite Qi Yao: "The queen is bathing in the Baoqing Palace, and it is inconvenient to see male guests." Please follow me into the Baoqing Hall to meet Your Majesty. β
Going to Baoqing Palace?
Qi Yao looked at Ren Hong and Dong Zhu, their faces were as usual, and they acquiesced in Qi Yao's acting alone.
After thinking about it, Qi Yao still brought Bai Yun and another men's maid, Changguang.
"Don't worry, the female officer, they will walk with me, only outside the Baoqing Palace. After all, I am a small weak woman who walks in the palace, and it is inconvenient. β
After hearing this, the female officer acquiesced to Qi Yao and the second servant to accompany her.
The three of them left, and only Ren Hong, Dong Zhu, Chi Zhuang, and Li Yan were left in the hall.
Dong Zhu saw that the outside of the hall was deserted, and couldn't help but say, "Hey, do you think they will hurt the killer and snatch the phoenix dress directly?"
"This kind of tasteless thing, I can't do it as a king of a country. Ren Hong: "And there are still people to take care of the residence, don't be afraid." β
Ren Hong deliberately asked Dongguo Ancestor to protect Qingyun and Huang Fei's daughters. With him, how can the Red Girl Country do a small thing?
Dong Zhu was a little uneasy, reached out and took it out in his arms, and then asked, "Do you have any copper coins on you?"
Copper coins, how can we immortals bring this thing-don't say, there really is.
Ren Hong remembered that he had "accidentally" gotten a copper coin, and gently threw it to Dong Zhu: "Is one enough?"
"Divination is auspicious, one is enough. Dong Zhu stood the copper coin on the back of his hand, and said something in his mouth.
The heavenly qi in the underworld is used to wrap around the copper coin.
This copper coin, which Ren Hong used to practice hand speed, was crumbling under the drive of Xuan Qi, deflecting to the left for a while, and falling to the right for a while.
But after a long time, there was no result, and he was still standing on the back of his hand, swaying from side to side.
Ren Hong smiled: "Dong Zhu, what do you mean by this?"
It means that the auspicious fortune is unpredictable and cannot be divined. Dong Zhu's expression was solemn, but he had already eaten the Wai Dan, and he couldn't calculate it with the mana of the Yuan Shen?
Is it so troublesome to be in a country of red women?
Ren Hong was surprised, and used the Tianyan Sutra to calculate the Heavenly Dao vein of the Red Girl Kingdom. He calculated the seven elders of Chicheng and the cultivation of the lord of the Red Maiden...... But this point of cultivation does not pose a threat to the three of them at all.
"Qi Yao went to Baoqing Palace, it was impossible to go wrong. Could it be that the two of us will be attacked by the Sand Sky Tower?"
Ren Hong kept thinking nonsense, and suddenly Bai Yun ran back: "Oh no, no! The eldest master, the second master, the lady is missing in the Baoqing Palace!"
"What?" Ren Hong was startled and suddenly got up.
Dong Zhu also stood up and asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter?"
"I don't know, we came to the outside of the Baoqing Hall with Madame. Suddenly, a gloomy wind blew, and the lady was nowhere to be found, and even the female officer who led the way disappeared. When we went to the Baoqing Palace to investigate, we heard that the Baoqing Palace was closed, and the queen was not there at all today. β
That's right, there was a big fuss a while ago, and it's strange that Baoqing Hall can be used normally.
Ren Hong's face was ugly, and he secretly blamed himself: Why didn't he think of this step?
"I've kept you waiting!" At this time, Shanshan, the Red Female Country Lord, walked out from behind. The queen dressed in men's clothes had a heroic look on her face: "I was hunting in the beast mountain just now, and I was delayed a little, please don't blame you." β
The lord of the country is here, so the female official just now is really a trap?
Ren Hong and Dong Zhu looked at each other and asked in a deep voice: "Lord of the country, Humble Jing was just taken to Baoqing Hall by the female official of your country, I don't know if there is such a thing?"
"Is there such a past?" The queen looked surprised: "This king has always been in the palace, and he has never been set up in the harem, let alone going to forbidden places such as the Baoqing Palace. β
"What's more, there was a treacherous infiltration in the Baoqing Palace before, and the palace has been sealed now. β
Hearing the reply, Ren Hong and the others changed color and got up to rush to Baoqing Palace.
"Waitβ" the queen: "Perhaps Madame Ling is lost elsewhere?" β
Ren Hong looked at the queen and his eyes darkened: "Dong Zhu, you stay and wait for news." I'll go to the Baoqing Hall to have a look. β
He followed Bai Yun's disguised manservant and hurried to the Baoqing Palace.
Halfway through, however, he suddenly stopped.
Bai Yun: "Master, why don't you leave......?"
"Okay, it's just you and me here, no need to pretend anymore. β
Bai Yun's face was pale: "If something happens to the palace master, does Mr. have a way?"
Ren Hong stared at her and muttered, "It seems that I know more than I expected, soul searching, or questioning?
Gou Chen Ruyi appeared in his hand, and the major divine beast Yuan Ling surrounded him: "This time I came to Ganquan Palace to meet the queen, and I really didn't make a mistake." The queen actually had the breath of a heavenly fragrance moth on her body. Isn't that the spirit of the worm in the air? As for you......"
The Emperor smiled in a low voice: "I didn't expect that I still left Yu Gen in the original action. β
"The Creator is worthy of being the Creator, and even after reincarnation, he is aware of our existence. β
A red gem slowly rose on Bai Yun's forehead, and a small insect was dimly seen inside.
The king lice, a monster that is said to control others with the art of a puppet. More than 1,000 years ago, he personally destroyed all the king lice.
But now, this long-extinct insect has reappeared.
If you count it again, it may be the queen who is the reincarnation of the Tianxiang borer...... Ren Hong vaguely guessed what was behind the scenes of the Red Girl Kingdom.
"You little worms have gone to great lengths, could it be that you are deliberately waiting for me?" Ren Hong's words were arrogant.
This is also a matter of course, after all, the nine great insects come from his previous life, and he knows the root of his weaknesses.
Just with the king lice and the heavenly incense borer, at most counting the possible Soul Snatchers, what is the use of just three small insects?
"That's right, we've been waiting for you. Ever since you killed me in your previous life and returned my soul to the netherworld, you've been waiting for this opportunity. β
"Bai Yun's" delicate face gradually became hideous, and her words were full of monstrous hatred: "One thousand seven hundred and twenty-five years, I have waited so long. is waiting for your reincarnation, the Creator. I'm going to take your body with my own hands and resurrect yourself for real!"
Hehe......
A sneer appeared at the corner of Ren Hong's mouth.
didn't take the king lice seriously at all, but communicated with the emperor: "How did you get it in the first place, and this thing can still survive?"
"I didn't expect that a mere spirit could be classified into the netherworld. It stands to reason that the spirit of the Nine Great Insects is not enough to enter the Netherworld as a ghost. The king lice should have another fate, but in the netherworld, it should be called ghost lice. Forget it, capture it first and ask Jiang Yao's whereabouts. β
"Nonsense, do you still need to say this?"
Ren Hong's thoughts moved, and the major divine beasts surrounded him, "Bai Yun." β
"Do it!"
Bai Yun shouted, and seven red figures appeared out of thin air, surrounding Ren Hongtuan.
"Seven Elders of Akagi, you don't think that there are only seven golden pillsβ"
Suddenly, Ren Hong's face froze. After the Seven Elders surrounded him, a large golden net enveloped him, wiping out all of his mana with a familiar force.
"Dragon Qi?" Seeing this golden spider web made of dragon qi, Ren Hong's face was ugly: "Zhen Dragon Spider?"
Once, he used the peasant emperor as an imaginary enemy to make a strange insect, but he didn't expect that now it has become a trap that he stepped on.
"So there's still a dragon spider? You bugs are very united. β
The golden spider web was like a swamp, firmly entangled Ren Hong. He thought quickly, the dragon qi did not appear for no reason. With such a huge reserve of dragon qi, could it be that the dragon spider stole the dragon qi of the Middle Earth. In this way, the Daojun Emperor he ......
