There were indeed a lot of weeds growing in the yard, and it looked like no one had been there for years.

The search in the house was fruitless, and the two walked towards the yard again, the weeds planted in the yard were almost as tall as a human being, and Leng Xi just took a few steps and felt that the touch under his feet was not right.

He looked down and was instantly terrified, it was nothing else under his feet, it was a skull, he squatted down to remove the weeds, and found that there was more than one skull around, and it was all over the place.

The third princess saw him squatting down and walked over, but soon she stayed where she was, and human bones appeared under the weeds that had been pulled away by the cold stream, and there was such a place in the palace that looked like a mass grave.

But soon Leng Xi discovered that the skulls were arranged in a regular manner, and the bones were arranged neatly one after the other, not like they were discarded at random, but on purpose.

The third princess also found this, she stood a little higher and looked at the skulls, because the weeds were too deep, she could only see the general pattern that was set aside by Leng Xi, the third princess frowned: "It seems to be a pattern, a little round, and a little square." ”

The third princess walked towards Leng Xi, only to hear Leng Xi's mouth counting something: "Forty-seven, forty-eight, forty-nine!"

"Hey, Stinky Daoist, what are you doing?"

Leng Xi didn't reply, his face was already bloodless, he even began to tremble with his hands, and looked at the third princess with a solemn face: "We are trapped." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the skulls under his feet began to rotate in one direction, and the bones continued to rise as they rotated.

The two stood vigilantly back-to-back, the bones pulled up from the ground as if they had been manipulated, revealing a complete humanoid skeleton that approached them like marionettes.

Leng Xi had no mana, so he could only pull out the sword at his waist to protect him, and the third princess pulled out the whip from Qiankun's sleeve, and those skeletons rushed towards the two of them like crazy.

"Stinky Daoist, what's going on?"

"This is a formation, burying people alive on the ground, only revealing a head and waiting for them to die slowly like this, a powerful resentment formed this formation, are you sure you didn't see ghosts or anything?"

"No, no ghosts. ”

"That's strange, usually this formation uses the resentment of these people, and the ghosts must be attached to these skeletons. ”

Leng Xi said as a skeleton lunged at him, and he swung his sword to cut the skeleton in half, but soon the skeleton turned into a complete skeleton again.

The third princess also found this problem, and the skeletons that she had whipped out of their skulls would soon return to the skeletons.

Those skeletons waved their skull arms, and the long hand bones were so great that the third princess was almost caught, but the corners of her clothes were not so lucky, not only were they scratched, but the places where they were caught were also a little black.

The third princess immediately reminded: "These skeletons are poisonous, be careful!"

But as soon as she finished speaking, she was grabbed by a claw on her arm, and in an instant blood flowed, she screamed and threw out the whip in her hand, and several skeletons closer to her were knocked out, and the bones on the skeletons fell to the ground and scattered, but soon returned to their original shapes and attacked the two of them again.

"Are you alright?"

Leng Xi saw that the third princess was injured and immediately protected her behind him.

The third princess shook her head and said stubbornly: "These skeletons will be automatically restored, and if it goes on like this, watch me burn them to ashes with a fox fire, and see how they recover!"

"No, you forgot that this is in the palace, you can't use mana!"

Leng Xi grabbed the third princess's hand and stopped her, but soon Leng Xi found that the person behind him had fallen.

"Ruwu!"

There was no response, and the third princess had completely fainted.

Leng Xi looked at the forty-nine skeletons around him, and then looked at the third princess who had fainted, and was at a loss for a moment, so he had to carry the third princess on his back and retreat towards the house.

After entering the house, Leng Xi immediately closed the door, and a skeleton hand suddenly came through the door, almost inserting it into Leng Xi's hand that was closing the door, Leng Xi was so frightened that he took two steps back, and kept having skeleton hands pass in from the door, and after a while, the door was densely packed with skeleton hands.

The door was full of holes, and it was already vulnerable, and Leng Xi once again carried the third princess on his shoulders and jumped out of the back window.

As soon as he jumped out of the window, he saw Sisi standing on the wall, and Sisi saw a group of skeletons chasing behind Leng Xi, and took a cold breath and asked:

"What's going on?"

Leng Xi immediately approached Ji Si as if he had seen a savior, and handed the third princess on his shoulder to Ji Si.

"You're just in time, get her out. ”

She stretched out her hand and pulled the third princess to the wall, and finally pulled the third princess to the wall and put her on her stomach, the skeletons behind Leng Xi were close at hand, and she stretched out her hand to him, he jumped to pull the hand of the third princess, and Leng Xi also reached the wall.

And when those skeletons came to the wall, a golden light came out of the wall and bounced them out, Leng Xi looked at all this in confusion, it seems that there is something on the wall to stop these skeletons, no wonder there is such a thing in the palace but it is not running around to harm people.

"What's going on?" asked Grace again.

Leng Xi shook his head: "The place where I sensed the fragments of the divine sword before is here, not long after the two of us came in, we found that the ground was full of skulls, and then we fell into this formation, but the strange thing is that there is no soul in this formation, it stands to reason that there should be a soul, but fortunately there is no soul, and thanks to your timely arrival, otherwise neither of us can leave today." ”

Leng Xi breathed a sigh of relief, but soon frowned again, the wound on the third princess's hand was already black, and she had to find a way to heal it as soon as possible.

The skeletons hit the wall again and again, and each time they were bounced out, and finally they could only keep moving their mouths and make helpless clicking sounds.

Leng Xi spat out a mouthful of blood inexplicably.

"Are you alright?"

Leng Xi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and shook his head: "I don't know why this is happening, let's get out of here first and take Ruwen to treatment!." ”

Yu Si nodded, the third princess herself was still injured, and now she was injured again, and seeing that the blackening degree of her arm was not an ordinary poison, it couldn't be delayed any longer.

Leng Xi jumped off the wall first, and the three princesses were carefully handed to Leng Xi on the wall, and the sound inside the wall became strange, as if something was breaking through the ground, and she looked back and found that there was nothing breaking through the ground, but those skeletons seemed to sense that they were leaving, and after a while, only a skull was left on the surface.

She jumped off the fence and patted the dust on her body: "Those skeletons are back in the dirt, as if someone is manipulating them. ”

Leng Xi nodded, those skeletons did not have a soul possessed, but they could move, as if someone was manipulating, but in this imperial city where mana could not be used, who was controlling everything, Leng Xi had only one candidate in his heart, and that was his senior brother Leng Fangxuan.

But soon he denied his conjecture, although the senior brother can use mana, but this formation is very evil, not the handiwork of Taoism, but after so many years, the senior brother took refuge in the demon clan, and now what kind of person he has become, Leng Xi doesn't know, and he can't know.

"Could it be my senior brother?"

"Speaking of your senior brother, when we met the emperor together just now, he and Lang Shao suggested that the emperor recruit exorcist Taoists, did your senior brother really take refuge in the demon clan?"

Leng Xi shook his head, he didn't know, but he heard his senior brother say that he was in the demon clan.

"Those skulls are decades old, and this formation can't be my senior brother's doing, but in this palace, so far I can't think of anyone other than my senior brother who can use mana. ”

"Just because you can't think of it doesn't mean that you don't, maybe this matter really has nothing to do with your senior brother. ”

The two of them left the confines of the cold palace as they spoke, and Sisi immediately pretended to be a weak woman, and when she met the guard, she shouted in panic: "Come on, the princess of the imperial doctor has fainted."

Immediately, a guard heard the voice and ran to check the situation, and the guard who took the lead methodically instructed people to pass on the imperial doctor and inform the emperor.

There were guards with a few people directly to the third princess's original dormitory Pingji Palace, after a while the imperial doctor arrived, and then the emperor also arrived, the emperor just noticed that his daughter was a beautiful embryo and heard that something was wrong, and immediately put down what he was doing and rushed over.

The imperial doctor diagnosed the pulse for a long time, cold sweat broke out, and even his hands trembled, and when he heard that the emperor was coming, he was so frightened that he couldn't even speak...... The minister is incompetent, and I don't know what poison the princess has suffered. ”

One by one, the imperial doctors stepped forward to try and finally shook their heads, indicating that they could not do anything, and their whole bodies knelt on the ground, praying in their hearts that the emperor would not condemn them.

The emperor slapped the table with a snap, not only the imperial doctor who was kneeling on the ground, but even those maids and guards were so frightened that they immediately knelt down and begged for mercy: "The emperor is angry!"

"Who found Cher?"

At this time, Leng Xi can't be allowed to come forward casually, otherwise his fake guard identity will be easily exposed, so Yu Si stepped forward: "Back to my father, it was my daughter-in-law who found the third princess fainting on the ground during a walk, and this is called the guard to pass the imperial doctor." ”

"Where did you find it?"

"At the gate of the cold palace. ”

She was called the guard shortly after leaving the cold palace, and many guards were able to testify that she was at the gate of the cold palace when she saw him and the third princess, so she didn't plan to say anything else.

But she soon noticed that the emperor's face changed when he heard the word "cold palace", and he almost became bloodless.

is worthy of being the emperor, his face changed, and he immediately regained his majesty in an instant: "Why did you go to the cold palace?"

"The father forgives the sin, the daughter-in-law has just arrived, and she is not familiar with the palace, she originally wanted to walk alone, but she walked to the gate of the cold palace, and then she met the third princess who fainted on the ground. ”

There was no flaw in this answer, and the emperor didn't say anything more, and transferred his anger to the imperial doctor: "What's the use of keeping you if you can't cure the princess?"

"The emperor forgives the sin! This poisonous minister has really never seen it, and he doesn't dare to use medicine for himself. ”

The one who spoke was the imperial doctor who sprinkled poison powder on the face of the third princess last time, fortunately, the third princess was in a coma at this time, otherwise according to Ruwen's temper, even if the emperor was here, this imperial doctor would inevitably be beaten.

The poison on the third princess's arm had begun to spread, and even her lips had turned purple.
