[279] Six days of return
The black clouds pressed down on the city, bringing a chill in the Jade Que City, and in the Jade Que Palace in the sinkhole, it also became dark all of a sudden.
The maids came out one after another, adding oil and lighting up the various stone lamps placed on the roadside in the palace one by one.
Letting Mo Zhai Hu come and ignore this risk, Xiao Shizhu can't afford to take it at present. After a long war, his people need to recuperate and not suffer too much damage, but they can't leave the Nine Shadows Kingdom with the hidden danger of being invaded by evil spirits.
He made a decision in his heart that he had to strangle Mo Zhai's plan before it began.
When Xiao Shizhu thought of this, a trace of seriousness appeared on his face, and at the same time, the dull sound of deer hooves came from far and near not far outside the lobby.
When he turned to look away, he saw a nine-colored deer, which was larger than an ordinary stag, passing through the second gate of Chachasi, and was coming in this direction, and it was not his ghost riding on the back of the deer, but the holy Maiden Yingying.
When she came to the lobby door, Ying Ying gently patted the deer's head, and the nine-colored deer immediately stopped. She also jumped off the deer, pestleed the snake staff, and walked in.
"Lord, is it Mo Zhai's news?" Ying Ying, who had always looked indifferent, inadvertently flashed a trace of anger between her eyebrows when she said this.
In the dimly lit lobby, the erratic ghost fires flew around the silent cards and water and fire sticks standing on both sides of the room, reflecting her fair face uncertainly.
"Yes. Although that anger quickly disappeared from Ying Ying's eyebrows, it did not escape Xiao Shizhu's eyes. He saw that it was a hatred to the bone, and when he and Ying Ying were fighting, this anger appeared on the other party's face, and at the moment he nodded in response, but he couldn't help muttering to himself in his heart: "Does this Mo Zhai also have a grudge against my national teacher?"
He handed the note in his hand to Yingying, and after the other party fumbled for it, he put the note under his nose and sniffed it.
After a while, she had embroidered the content written on it by sniffing the ink and reading it, and couldn't help frowning and scolding: "Crazy!"
The five fingers of his right hand, which was holding the spirit snake staff, bent hard and clenched the staff in his hand.
"I thought he was crazy, no, from the first day I arrived in Xudu, I knew he was a madman. And as far as I know, although there are not many guards inside the hell, there are soul-bound ghosts who are born to absorb soul energy for food, and are called the nightmares of ten thousand ghosts. The fact that he Mo Zhai was able to release the evil ghosts so confidently shows that among those soul-detaining ghosts in hell, there is also his inner response. Xiao Shizhu sighed lightly, shook his head, raised his eyes to look at Wu Qiushou, and asked, "What do you think?"
"His crazy behavior must be stopped. Wu Qiu Shou also gritted his teeth, he had already been extremely disgusted with what Mo Zhai had done, and after thinking about it for a while, he spat out two words in a deep voice: "Assassination!"
"Hmm. Xiao Shizhu nodded thoughtfully, lowered his head, looked at the tips of his shoes and thought for a long time, and said: "And considering that he has a ghost as an internal response, it is best for us to carry out the assassination in the secret passage, and I don't want his death to be known immediately by the Emperor Xudu." ”。
Ying Ying and Wu Qiu Shou nodded in praise at the same time, he groaned again, paced slowly in the lobby, turned around, took the opportunity to think about it again, and still felt that it was too risky at this time; After thinking for a long time, Xiao Shizhu finally stood opposite Ying Ying and Wu Qiu Shou, and said resolutely: "This kind of thing, it's better for me to do it!" Judging from Lin Cong's secret letter, Mo Zhai will only take Lin Cong, Meng Sheng, and Tian Xiangzi to Xudu in order to hide his traces at that time. It is said that Meng Sheng and Tian Xiangzi are both capable of ghost and magic arts, and their actual combat experience is not low, I am afraid that ordinary Xuanjiao disciples will be difficult to ......."
"Nope. Before she finished speaking, Ying Ying shook her head, used the head of the cane in her hand, through her clothes, and gently tapped Xiao Shizhu's abdomen, and said softly: "That's in Xudu, as long as you cast a spell, Emperor Xudu will be able to detect it." ”。
Xiao Shizhu is so smart, the epiphany Ying Ying is hinting at him, once he casts a spell in Xudu, the mysterious power of his physical strength will be detected by the Emperor Xudu. But if you want to assassinate an old ghost like Mo Zhai, who is also full of ghosts and magic skills, it is impossible to win without using magic and relying only on hand-to-hand combat.
If it weren't for Ying Ying's reminder, he would have almost forgotten about it, when he first entered the Xudu Capital, he didn't know how to use ghosts and gods, and he couldn't make Xuanli have a chance to fluctuate. In addition, as soon as his physical body was destroyed, his Xuan power was skillfully used by black and white impermanence to lock the gods and suppress them, so the Emperor Xudu could not detect it, otherwise he Xiao Shizhu would not have survived to this day!
Faced with the overstretched situation, Xiao Shizhu suddenly felt anxious, took a deep breath to forcibly calm himself, and frowned slightly again and thought about it.
"I said that you have to live, and I will personally take the disciples who are in the middle of Sutian and have good cultivation to do this, and I will ensure that the task will be completed. When Xiao Shizhu was still thinking about countermeasures, Ying Yingben was still frowning deeply, and suddenly expanded, already pursed her lips and smiled, and said in a flat tone: "This matter is urgent, you don't have to hesitate anymore, my perception of different ghosts is the absolute advantage of assassination, and this task is perfect for me." ”。
The look on his face was indifferent rather calm, mixed with a little fearlessness.
"Inform the Xuanjiao disciples in the capital to cooperate with my actions. Without waiting for Xiao Shizhu to agree, Ying Ying had resolutely turned around, walked outside the door and rode her nine-colored deer, smiled lightly, and said, "In exchange, if I can't come back, please be kind to Xiao Si." ”。
After finishing speaking, she patted the neck of the nine-colored deer with snow-white hair, and the deer suddenly raised its head, turned around and left after a hiss, and disappeared from the sight of Xiao Shizhu and Wu Qiushou after a while.
"With all due respect, I like you, my lord. After being stunned for a moment, Wu Qiu Shou looked directly at Yingying's distant place, sighed leisurely, and said: "It is true love to be able to send you to death for your hegemony and life, and to go without hesitation and hesitation." ”。
"Fart. Su Tianju ancestral training, but those who inherit the position of the saint cannot be emotional, don't you know?" Xiao Shizhu, who was also looking at Xiao Shizhu in that direction, was suddenly stunned when he heard the words, and said softly......
Under the Yellow Spring Sea, in the blood-yellow water, it is difficult to see underwater creatures, but the exiled lonely ghosts can be seen everywhere, cruising in those fishy seawaters.
The unique sea water in the Yellow Spring Sea, like the river water of the Lechuan River, has a strong binding force on all lonely souls and wild ghosts. It doesn't matter if you are a demon soul or a human soul, as long as you belong to the category of lonely souls and wild ghosts, once you are thrown into it, you can't leave the bottom of the water to death.
It is said that the Yellow Spring Sea and the Lechuan River are just yellow water, just like the Yellow River in the world, turbid but not smelly. But when there were several wars in the world, the lonely souls and wild ghosts were everywhere, and after the Yin Si officials caught them day and night, they threw them into the Yellow Spring Sea, which actually made the huge Yellow Spring Sea filled with lonely souls and wild ghosts.
And there was nothing to eat in the sea, and most of these lonely souls and wild ghosts who died in a foreign land and could not return to their roots in the flesh soon starved to death. The only way for the rest to survive was to eat the same kind, so the situation of ghosts eating ghosts spread in the Yellow Spring Sea, and the bodies of the dead lonely souls and wild ghosts turned into a large red powder, and the Yellow Spring Sea and the Lechuan River were gradually dyed blood yellow.
Since then, the Yellow Spring Sea and the Lechuan River have become fishy and bloody.
At this time, a boat ten zhang long, shaped like a cone, sinking to the bottom of the sea without water immersion, is diving in the Huangquan Sea, heading west.
This completely sealed ship, made of unsinkable wood, is the product of the ancient gods. Now that the era of the ancient gods has come to an end, in the huge underworld, among the many kings and kings, only the sailor of the Emperor Xudu is allocated to this kind of rare diving warship.
But at this moment, the boat that was sneaking under the turbid Yellow Spring Sea was definitely not Emperor Xudu's. On the hull of the ship, you can see a black dragon painted with teeth and claws, the same length as the hull, and at a glance you know that this is the ship of the Mo family.
This was built by Mo Zhai himself after spending a lot of money and a lot of time collecting and studying the ancient book fragments left by the ancient gods.
The blue light of the water-repellent charm flashes in the upper and lower cabins, not only to keep the cabin watertight, but also to illuminate it, making it feel like daylight in the cabin.
Looking at the turbid sea water outside the ship, Lin Cong was excited.
"Big brother, you are amazing, this is the ancient god divine skill, right?" After a long time, he turned to Mo Zhai, who was sitting in the middle of the cabin, and shouted happily like a child, dancing with his hands and shouting: "I have only heard in the legends of the underworld before, the story of the ancient god sailing a hundred thousand waves to ride the wind and waves, and fighting with the water demon for ten days. Later, when the earth flooded, the good gods built ten more boats for humans to take refuge in. I always thought it was just a legend, but I didn't expect that I, Lin Cong, would also be lucky enough to see the truth. ”。
"Don't get excited, there are still a lot of things that big brother will know. Mo Zhai smiled slightly, twisted his beard and said, "It will open your eyes in the future." ”。
"Okay. After Lin Cong stroked his palms and laughed, he put away a slight smile and wondered: "Then what are we doing in Huangquanhai?"
"Didn't I tell you?" Mo Zhai asked in a daze.
Lin Cong shook his head silently, and the confusion on his face was a little heavier.
"Haha. Mo Zhai smiled, didn't hide anything, and said bluntly: "Of course, it's back to the Six Heavens Continent." ”。
[Falling wave boat - this thing is really not made up by me, the original is the Eastern Jin Dynasty Fangshi Wang Jia, he wrote the fourth volume of the "Collected Memories" record: There are people of Wanqu, come by snail boat, the boat is like a snail, sinking to the bottom of the sea, and the water does not immerse, a wave boat. 】
