Chapter 15 Ghost Palace in the Deep Mountain Wall

Zhou Zhiruo and Leng Tianyi set off all the way to the Ghost Palace, according to Leng Tianyi, the terrain of the Ghost Palace was hidden and surrounded by mountains, and outsiders would not easily find out.

On this day, the two missed the lodging, so they had to sleep in the wild, Leng Tianyi simply set up a tent, took out dry food, and after lighting a fire, he and Zhou Zhiruo ate it separately.

Zhou Zhiruo said: "How long has the Ghost Palace been established?"

Leng Tianyi said: "Master Zhou, it's not that I don't want to tell you, I just follow orders in the Ghost Palace, usually the rules in the palace are extremely strict, and people in the palace are never allowed to make friends with each other, so I don't know anything about things in the palace!"

Zhou Zhiruo saw that his words were sharp, and he didn't seem to deceive himself, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

After she finished eating the dry food, she felt tired, and then she looked at the Condor and rested again, and thought to herself: "Leng Tianyi doesn't seem to be lying, but if you want to enter the Ghost Palace, you still need to start with him!

But after half an hour, I suddenly heard the cold Tianyi calling softly beside him: "Master Zhou, Master Zhou?"

If Zhou Zhi really didn't want to deal with this person, if it weren't for the rescue of Murong Xue and Song Qingshu, she needed this person to lead the way to the Ghost Palace, and she would have been driven away. Therefore, for her call, I did not pay attention!

The cold sky wing called a few more times, and seeing that Zhou Zhiruo still did not respond, he only said that he was asleep, so he immediately laughed dryly, and left.

Zhou Zhiruo listened to his footsteps getting farther away, and said secretly: "Could it be that he wants to escape?" At that moment, he opened his eyes slightly, and saw Leng Tianyi leaving step by step!

The cold sky wing was also quite cautious, and he looked back after walking a short distance, until he couldn't see Zhou Zhiruo's figure, and then he strode away!

Zhou Zhiruo waited for him to go away, then got up and followed, she knew that this person's martial arts were not weak, if she followed too closely, she was afraid that she would be noticed by him, so she always kept seven or eight feet away!

After walking for a while, Leng Tianyi no longer moved forward, but stayed in place, and Zhou Zhiruo immediately flew up to a big tree next to him to watch.

Not long after, I saw a person appear in front of me, that person gradually approached Leng Tianyi's side, Zhou Zhiruo took a closer look, and almost exclaimed, that person has a graceful posture, Yan is like Haoyu, it is Zhao Min!

Zhou Zhiruo said in her heart: "How could Zhao Min know Leng Tianyi, and what does she have to do with the Ghost Palace?"

saw Zhao Min talking to Leng Tianyi in a low voice, Leng Tianyi nodded again and again, Zhou Zhiruo tried her best to hear what Zhao Min was talking to Leng Tianyi, but because Zhao Min's voice was too soft and too far away, she couldn't hear it at all.

After a while, maybe Leng Tianyi was too excited, and said, "Understood, just do it!" After that, he couldn't hear anything.

Then Zhao Min handed over another thing to Leng Tianyi, and Zhou Zhiruo looked at it from a distance, but it was a small porcelain bottle!

Zhou Zhiruo knew that they had finished discussing, so she immediately flew away, and she returned to the same place!

Although the Condor is not a fairy bird that has become a monster, but from following Dugu to seek defeat, then to Yang Guo, and then to his descendant Yellow-shirted Girl, I don't know how many winds and waves have been experienced, seeing Zhou Zhiruo acting like this, it is naturally clear at a glance, and he nodded immediately.

Zhou Zhiruo immediately lay down and closed her eyes, making the cold sky wing mistakenly think that she was still asleep!

Not long after, with the sound of footsteps approaching, it was known that Leng Tianyi was gradually coming, and he was called again: "Master Zhou...... Master Zhou?"

Zhou Zhiruo didn't answer, Leng Tianyi saw this, took out the porcelain bottle that Zhao Min handed over to him just now, he covered his mouth and nose with one hand, and held the porcelain bottle with the other hand, his thumb moved slightly, flicked the cork, and a stream of green smoke flowed out of the bottle.

Zhou Zhiruo had already expected what kind of medicine Leng Tianyi would use to stun herself, and when she felt a fragrance wafting in, she immediately held her breath, and secretly used the Nine Yin Heart Method to protect her heart and veins, so as not to let the poisonous smoke stun her.

Leng Tianyi kept putting all the poisonous smoke in the porcelain bottle, and then threw away the porcelain bottle, and then said to Zhou Zhiruo: "Master Zhou...... Wake up, Master Zhou...... Wake up, Master Zhou?"

Seeing that Zhou Zhiruo never responded, thinking that she had been stunned by the poison, she was overjoyed in her heart, and said to herself: "The whole bottle of poisonous smoke, you can't wake up without three days and three nights, hahaha!"

But Leng Tianyi seemed to be worried again: "Zhou Zhiruo's martial arts are extremely high, and her internal skills are profound, if this smoke can't charm her for long, and she suddenly wakes up, it will be terrible!" Then, in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, she slapped Zhou Zhiruo's "Huimian" and "Tianzhu" two acupoints respectively, so that even if she woke up, she couldn't move!

Zhou Zhiruo felt that her acupuncture points were sealed, and secretly said in her heart: "This person is really cunning and cunning, and he is really cautious everywhere!" However, she was not afraid, and secretly carried the method of moving tendons and solving acupoints in the Nine Yin True Scripture, although Zhou Tian was running in the body, and the true qi was wandering, but on the surface it was no different from a sleeping person.

Leng Tianyi hugged Zhou Zhiruo behind the horse, and smiled at the Condor treacherously: "Brother Diao, Master Zhou is sleepy, let's go on the road first!"

Because Zhou Zhiruo had instructed the Condor before, everything should not be reckless, although the Condor knew that Leng Tianyi was plotting against him, but seeing that Zhou Zhiruo did not break it, he would not be troubled, so he had to follow Leng Tianyi!

The cold sky wing rode on another horse, and took Zhou Zhiruo and the Condor to the east, whistling along the way, obviously very proud!

Zhou Zhiruo occasionally opened her eyes slightly in the night, and saw that Leng Tianyi had been walking the Huangling path, and said in her heart: "Where is Leng Tianyi going? And what is the relationship between Zhao Min and him? Zhao Min and Brother Wuji have already married, why do you still want to harm me? Does this Ghost Palace have anything to do with Zhao Min or the Tartar Imperial Court?"

This series of questions is simply confusing, but she also understands that as long as she follows Leng Tianyi, these things will be answered sooner or later, and there is no need to rush to get a hair extension.

So until dawn, the cold weather wings got off the horse and ate some dry food, and by the way fed some dry food to the Condor, the Condor is amazing, if it happens, it is not easy for one person to deal with it, and naturally the Condor will take care of it meticulously.

Then he rode eastward for about three hours, and when he came to a valley, he stopped.

Leng Tianyi helped Zhou Zhiruo off the horse, leaned on a stone wall, and let the Condor rest aside!

Zhou Zhiruo took advantage of Leng Tianyi's settling of the Condor, slightly adjusted his eyes to check the surrounding environment, and said in his heart: "Leng Tianyi said that the entrance to the Ghost Palace is surrounded by mountains on all sides, could it be here?"

But after a long time, Leng Tianyi never made any more moves, and Zhou Zhiruo was afraid of startling the snake, so he no longer opened his eyes to watch the movement.

Leng Tianyi looked at Zhou Zhiruo and said to herself: "There is a beauty like you in the world, what a fairy in the world, don't worry, I will never hurt you, and I will not let anyone hurt you, I will be good to you in this life!"

Zhou Zhiruo listened to it in her ears, and sighed in her heart.

Suddenly, a voice came, "Leng Tianyi is really a seed of infatuation, it's a pity that you have the intention to fall into the flowers, and the head of Zhou may not be able to look down on you as a strong man who is nearly thirty years old!"

Leng Tianyi hurriedly turned around to greet him, Zhou Zhiruo took the opportunity to open his eyes and saw that there were four people coming, one was Zhao Min, the remaining three were You Tianhu, Yin Huolong, and the other turned out to be Liu Yunhe!

Seeing that they were gradually getting closer, Zhou Zhiruo immediately closed her eyes, only Zhao Min was a woman among the people who came, obviously the person who spoke just now was Zhao Min, but Zhiruo always felt strange, and said secretly: "I was not wrong last night and now, it is indeed the sister of the Zhao family, but her voice does not seem to be quite right from before, the tone and demeanor of the previous sister of the Zhao family are not like this, is it not someone who is easy to pretend?"

But she vaguely felt as if she had heard this voice somewhere, but it was definitely not Zhao Min! Who was it? For a while, she couldn't think of who it was.

Leng Tianyi said: "County Lord, you are finally here, but let me wait!"

After hearing this, Zhou Zhiruo said secretly: "Could it be that this person is really Zhao Min? But why doesn't the voice sound like it at all?

You Tianhu looked at Zhou Zhiruo and said, "Although Zhou Zhiruo is strong in martial arts, she is ......!" Zhao Min suddenly interrupted him and said, "I still prefer to hear you call me the county lord!"

You Tianhu laughed and said, "Yes, county lord!"

Yin Huolong snorted and said, "I think the prince is too worried, so much trouble to deal with a Zhou Zhiruo!"

Zhao Min said: "Don't be careless, according to Wang Baobao, Zhu Yuanzhang told him that if Zhou Zhiruo is a very smart person, it's better to be careful!"

After Zhou Zhiruo heard this, she secretly said: "Zhu Yuanzhang really colluded with the Mongolian Tatars!" Thinking of this, he couldn't help but worry about Zhang Wuji again.

You Tianhu said: "Zhou Zhiruo has been captured by us now, what else is there to worry about?"

Liu Yunhe said: "What the county lord said is not bad at all, if Zhou Zhi is not an easy person to deal with, my brother from the Ruyang Royal Mansion has suffered at her hands!"

Leng Tianyi said: "County Lord, you said that after we get rid of Zhou Zhiruo and Zhang Wuji, Zhu Yuanzhang will really keep his promise and lead the Ming army back to Jiangnan and no longer invade the Central Plains?"

Liu Yunhe said: "How can you believe Zhu Yuanzhang's words? It's just that now that Zhang Wuji has returned to Mingjiao, the heroes of the world basically obey his command, and we finally recovered the Central Plains, and we originally wanted to recover Jiangnan again, but I didn't expect Zhou Zhiruo and Zhang Wuji to let my Dayuan be defeated in the battle of the Yangtze River, and I lost my troops and generals!"

Zhao Min said, "After solving Zhou Zhiruo and these Ming Sect leaders, the next one will be Zhu Yuanzhang!"

Leng Tianyi said: "But Zhu Yuanzhang is also a cunning fox, it is easy to deal with Zhang Wuji, but it is not so simple to deal with him, in addition, we have only arrested Zhou Zhiruo, Murong Xue, and that waste Song Qingshu, none of the heroes of the Ming Sect have been caught, I heard that the rebels have reached Haozhou City, that Zhang Wuji passed the 'Wu Mu Testament' to Xu Da, the Ming army is all the way like a bamboo, and the King of Ruyang is almost unbearable!"

Zhao Min said: "You don't have to worry about this, Zhang Wuji, Yang Xiao, and Fan Yao were arrested by me three days ago!" Zhou Zhiruo was shocked when she heard this, and almost exclaimed, but fortunately, she restrained herself in time and did not have a seizure.

The four of them were also shocked when they heard this, and Liu Yunhe said to Yin Huolong: "Brother Yin, Zhang Wuji's martial arts are world-famous, Yang Xiao, and Fan Yao are also top first-class masters, what kind of master in the Ghost Palace can arrest them all in one fell swoop?"

Yin Huolong said: "Zhang Wuji and others were arrested, and I also knew at this moment, I and Leng Tianyi and You Tianhu were originally the same as you, serving under the command of King Ruyang, but the prince suddenly sent us to the Ghost Palace, after we entered the Ghost Palace, although the people in the palace ate and drank well to entertain us, they were also very wary of us, therefore, we had nothing to do with the situation in the Ghost Palace!"

Liu Yunhe said: "Is the owner of the Ghost Palace Zhu Yuanzhang?" Yin Huolong shook his head and said, "I don't know!"

Zhao Min said suddenly: "Okay, you don't need to ask so clearly, you just need to follow orders!"

Liu Yunhe said: "Niangniang......" Zhao Min immediately interrupted and said sharply, "I am the county lord!" The tone was quite strong!

Liu Yunhe said: "Whatever you want, but there is one thing that must be clarified now, this is explained by the prince and the little prince!" Zhou Zhiruo heard this, and secretly said in his heart: "The county lord and the mother, is there any difference? Why is Zhao Min so angry about the name of the mother? Liu Yunhe is under the command of the king of Ruyang, but he doesn't seem to buy the county lord in front of him?"

I only heard Zhao Min say lightly: "What's the matter?"

Liu Yunhe said: "May I ask where is the county lord?"

After You Tianhu and the others heard this, they exclaimed: "County Lord, what County Lord, isn't the County Lord here?"

Liu Yunhe sneered and said, "I'm talking about the county lord of Shaomin, the daughter of the prince, Min Min Temur!" Zhou Zhiruo was full of doubts in her heart: "It seems that this person in front of you is really not Zhao Min?"

Zhao Min said: "Don't worry, when I arrested Zhang Wuji, I had already asked people to send her back to Dadu! Calculate the time, in the past few days, she should already be in the palace! Commander Liu, you go back to Haozhou now to tell the King of Ruyang, and make it clear to him that Zhang Wuji, Yang Xiao and Fan Yao have been arrested, and Zhou Zhiruo is dead!"

After Leng Tianyi heard this, he said, "County Lord, do you want to kill Zhou Zhiruo?" Zhao Min ignored him and said to Liu Yunhe: "You go!"

Liu Yunhe bowed his hand to Zhao Min and said, "Understood!" Then, he strode north!

Zhao Min suddenly said: "You Tianhu, take advantage of Zhou Zhiruo's unconsciousness now, go and kill her!"

After You Tianhu was defeated in the hands of Zhou Zhiruo, he always wanted to be ashamed, and at this moment, when he heard Zhao Min let himself kill Zhou Zhiruo, he said excitedly: "Okay! It's a pity that Zhou Zhiruo didn't defeat her in a bright way, although he was too villainous, but he couldn't do it, Zhou Zhiruo, don't blame me!"

The next knife slashed towards Zhou Zhiruo, Leng Tianyi hurriedly raised his spear and blocked You Tianhu's knife. You Tianhu said angrily: "Brother Leng, what do you mean by this?"

Zhao Min also said: "Leng Tianyi, do you want to rebel?"

Leng Tianyi said: "County Lord, please don't hurt Zhou Zhiruo, I'm ...... I'm ......!"

Zhao Min laughed and said, "Leng Tianyi, it seems that you really like Zhou Zhiruo? But it's no wonder, which man wouldn't like Zhou Zhiruo's flower and moon appearance?"

Leng Tianyi clenched his fists and said: "Please also ask the county lord's subordinates to be merciful!"

Yin Huolong said: "Brother Leng, don't make trouble, get out of the way!"

Zhao Min's face sank, and he said, "If this Zhou Zhi can't stay, cut the grass and get rid of the roots!"

Leng Tianyi hurriedly said: "You arrested Zhang Wuji, Murong Xue, and these people, didn't you kill them, why did you kill Zhou Zhiruo?"

Zhao Min said: "These people will die in the future, but it is still useful to keep them now!"

Leng Tianyi suddenly gritted his teeth, knelt down to Zhao Min and said, "That is the case, it is a big deal to abolish Zhou Zhiruo's martial arts, I will take her overseas, and I will no longer set foot in Middle-earth in this life, so it will not hinder your plan, what?"

Zhao Min said angrily: "No, if Zhou Zhi has to die, Leng Tianyi, if you don't get out of the way, don't blame me for being polite!"

Leng Tianyi stood up and said, "Forgive me! I'll take Zhou Zhiruo away!"

Zhao Min said angrily: "Eat things inside and outside, You Tianhu, let me kill Zhou Zhiruo and Leng Tianyi!"

You Tianhu stiffened his steel knife and said, "Brother Leng, everyone has a friendship, don't force me to do it!"

Leng Tianyi sneered, poked his gun, and said, "Come on!" He knew that You Tianhu's martial arts were not under him, so he had to take You Tianhu by surprise, first deal with You Tianhu, and then deal with Yin Huolong.

Who knew that You Tianhu had already taken precautions, and without bringing his spear close, he raised his steel knife to block it, and then cut his legs with a knife! Leng Tianyi's marksmanship is accurate, You Tianhu's knife technique is heavy, the two of them have their own strengths in the blade, and their martial arts are between the two of them.

After dozens of moves, You Tianhu had already used a steel knife to hold Leng Tianyi's spear, and then slapped it with a palm, and Leng Tianyi was also secretly lucky, and returned a palm!

Originally, You Tianhu was not under Leng Tianyi regardless of his martial arts internal strength, but a few days ago, he was slapped by Zhou Zhiruo, and his injury had not healed, so he slapped Leng Tianyi, and only felt the qi and blood in his body surge!

At the moment, he no longer faced Leng Tianyi, but attacked directly with the knife, but Leng Tianyi had already seen it in his eyes, so he continued to shoot out the palm power, forcing You Tianhu to retreat again and again, and constantly unleashed all kinds of marksmanship, You Tianhu gradually turned from attack to defense, and Leng Tianyi only attacked but not defended, and suddenly gained the upper hand!

After dozens of moves, the You Tianhu has gradually been unable to parry, Leng Tianyi saw the opportunity, a move "Qiankun throws" to play, You Tianhu raised the knife to block, but felt that his arm was sore, the knife in his hand could not be grasped, and fell to the ground! Seeing that Leng Tianyi slapped out with both palms again, he naturally couldn't stop the drive, so he could only close his eyes and wait for death!

Before the clinker Leng Tianyi's palm power reached You Tianhu's body, he only felt a heavy blow in his back, which was extremely painful, and then a mouthful of blood spurted out and he collapsed to the ground! Leng Tianyi and Yin Huolong had known each other for a long time, and he only said that he would not play the trick of sneak attack, so he was completely defenseless, but he still misunderstood Yin Huolong after all! Leng Tianyi said bitterly: "You ...... Good, good ......!"

Yin Huolong smiled: "I'm sorry, Brother Leng, who made you obsessed and stubborn!"

It turned out that Yin Huolong saw that You Tianhu was about to die, so he raised his double hammer and smashed it at Leng Tianyi's back, he succeeded in one blow, and the corners of his mouth were quite proud. Seeing this, the Heavenly Tiger picked up the steel knife and slashed him on the calf to vent his anger!

Leng Tianyi was stabbed again, and the pain went straight to the bone marrow, and said: "County Lord, you can kill me, but I beg you to let Zhou Zhiruo go!"

Zhao Min sneered and said, "You died in an instant, and you still act as a flower messenger! You Tianhu, you give him another knife!"

You Tianhu slashed down in an instant, and the divine eagle suddenly jumped up, stretched out its wings, and a strong wind headed towards You Tianhu's pavement! You Tianhu couldn't resist it, and kept retreating!

Suddenly, a silver whip rushed to his face, and You Tianhu hurriedly raised his knife to block the whip, but the silver whip came too quickly and was full of strength, and it was really difficult to resist.

Yin Huolong hurriedly thought that he had double-hammered the silver whip and helped the Heavenly Tiger, but unexpectedly, the Condor took a vertical leap and kicked Yin Huolong with both claws, and Yin Huolong could only raise the hammer to save himself!

Without Yin Huolong's help, but seeing the silver whip hit the door of You Tianhu's head, You Tianhu's eyes widened, his mouth spat blood, and he said loudly, "Zhou Zhiruo!" Then he spurted out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground and died!

It turned out that Zhou Zhiruo was quite grateful when she saw Leng Tianyi sacrificing her life to defend herself, but Yin Huolong's sneak attack was too fast, and it was too late to save him, looking at Leng Tianyi who was struggling painfully on the ground, eighty percent of them couldn't survive!

Yin Huolong saw that Zhou Zhiruo suddenly woke up, but he didn't know that she was not poisoned, so he hurriedly retreated to Zhao Min's side!

Zhao Min smiled: "Sister Zhou, you are not poisoned?"

Zhou Zhiruo said sharply: "You are definitely not Zhao Min, who are you?" At that moment, he walked quickly towards Zhao Min.

Zhao Min was forced by Zhou Zhiruo's momentum, and he was frightened in his heart and didn't know how to answer.

Facing Zhou Zhiruo's approaching step by step, Yin Huolong knew that he was not Zhou Zhiruo's enemy, and he could only keep retreating with Zhao Min!

But he heard Leng Tianyi scream and said, "Master Zhou!!"

Zhou Zhiruo hurriedly looked back and leaned over to check Leng Tianyi's injury!

Who knew that Leng Tianyi suddenly held Zhou Zhiruo's hand tightly, and said painfully: "County Lord...... Brother Yin...... There are two horses over there...... You guys go quickly!" At the same time, he pleaded with Zhou Zhiruo: "Master Zhou, read it...... I lay down my life for your sake...... Let them go!"

Seeing this, Zhao Min and Yin Huolong hurriedly jumped to the back of the horse and galloped away!

Zhou Zhiruo looked at Leng Tianyi, and instantly shed two lines of tears, she hadn't cried for a long time, and said, "Leng Tianyi, what's wrong with you?"

In fact, Leng Tianyi was not injured, and he couldn't do it if he wanted to grab Zhou Zhiruo with both hands, don't say that he was seriously injured at the moment! But Zhou Zhiruo was quite grateful to Leng Tianyi, so he let him hold it, and let Zhao Min and Yin Huolong leave!

Leng Tianyi looked at Zhou Zhiruo's beautiful face and said, "You are ...... Are you crying for me?"

Zhou Zhiruo nodded and said, "Hmm!"

Although Leng Tianyi was bleeding and in great pain, there was still a smile on his face, and he said, "Miss Zhou, you are my Leng Tianyi in this life...... The only favorite ...... Take care of a woman...... The Ghost Palace is a ...... Longtan Tiger's Den, very dangerous...... Your friends are locked up there, and you're going to ...... Small...... Heart!"

Zhou Zhiruo hurriedly said, "Where is the Ghost Palace?"

Leng Tianyi struggled and said, "In ...... In ......!" he grew his lips and spat out vigorously, but he couldn't say a word, and gradually he lost his breath!

Zhou Zhiruo saw that Leng Tianyi was dead, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, she buried Leng Tianyi in the valley, and cut a thick tree to erect a monument for it.

Looking at this simple tomb, I couldn't help but say in my heart: "Leng Tianyi, although you and I have only known each other for a few days, I still thank you for treating Zhiruo with affection, if you have a spirit in the sky, please bless Zhiruo to rescue Qingshu and Murong Xue as soon as possible!"

She bowed to the tombstone a few times, and said secretly: "Listening to the words of the fake Zhao Min, it seems that Brother Wuji, Yang Xiao, and Fan Yao have also been captured by her, Leng Tianyi said that Qingshu They were about the Ghost Palace, so the fake Zhao Min may also capture Brother Wuji and them into the Ghost Palace, and it is not known?"

Thinking of the Ghost Palace, Zhou Zhiruo is the six gods and no master at the moment, I don't know what to do? She has never heard of the Ghost Palace, so naturally she doesn't know where it is located? How to find this is a big trouble!

She pondered for a while: "Although I don't know about the Ghost Palace, but the Blue Winged Bat King Wei smiled, the five scattered people, the Five Elements Banner Commander and others may not know?

Thinking of Zhang Wuji's tenderness and sweetness on Spirit Snake Island, he couldn't help but secretly say in his heart: "Brother Wuji, if Zhiji fights to the death, he will save you, you must wait for me!"

Zhou Zhiruo said to the Condor: "Diao'er, let's go to Haozhou to meet the heroes of the Ming Sect!" The two war horses given by Leng Qian had been ridden by the fake Zhao Min and Yin Huolong, so they had to go on foot, stay in a town, and then purchase horses!

Clinker, didn't take a few steps, I saw the eagle biting the corner of Zhou Zhiruo's clothes, going east, after walking a few steps, Zhou Zhiruo stopped and said: "Eagle, I want to go to Haozhou, I should go to the west!"

But the Condor chirped a few times, kept shaking his head to signal, still went east, walked a few steps, looked back and saw Zhou Zhiruo standing still, then turned around again, bit the corner of Zhiruo's clothes, and urged her to go east!

Zhou Zhiruo said in her heart: "This carving can understand what I mean, and insists on pulling me to the east, could it be that it knows the specific location of the Ghost Palace and wants to take me there?"

Thinking about this, I didn't think about it anymore, and followed the Condor to the east, although the Condor could not fly, but spread its wings, and between a vertical and a leap, the speed of running was as fast as a horse!

Zhou Zhiruo started light work, after following the Condor, she was quite worried about the Divine Condor's injury at first, if she overtook it, then it would chase after it, for fear of causing its wound to burst!

Zhou Zhiruo took a deep breath, her childlike heart rose, and she said happily: "Okay, Diao'er, who are we faster than?" At the moment, it is no longer tolerated, and the internal force is transported and floats away as quickly as the wind!

The Condor chirped several times, it seemed particularly pleasantly surprised, and the faster and faster it was, a person and a sculpture were all galloping on the road, the vehicles and pedestrians on the road saw this, they all stopped to watch, a woman in white and the Condor were running, the speed was amazing, and the posture was wonderful, for ordinary people, it can be described as a spectacle.

Later, the local people spread ten, ten and hundred, and gradually mythologized the matter, and it was rumored that a fairy in white with the condor under the seat was driving away demons and evil spirits and eliminating harm for the people!

After galloping to a town, Zhou Zhiruo bought a horse, and when he was about to leave, he suddenly saw that the town had been occupied by the Ming army, so he left a letter and asked the Ming army to hand over the Ming army to the Ming Sect!

The letter contained the news that Zhang Wuji and others were captured in the Ghost Palace, and stated that he was going to the Ghost Palace to save people, and he would leave a mark along the way!

Zhou Zhiruo instructed the Ming army guards to send the letter to the Five Elements Banner Envoy, Wusanren or Wei Yixiao. The guard also participated in the battle of the Yangtze River, and saw with his own eyes the great exploits of the head of Emei in front of him for the Ming Sect.

After doing all this, it was getting late, Zhou Zhiruo and the Condor rested in the town, and the next day, they went on the road non-stop, leaving the flame mark of Mingjiao along the way.

After traveling for seven or eight days, Zhou Zhiruo looked at the boundless sea and said, "Leng Tianyi once said that the Ghost Palace is surrounded by mountains, how can Diao'er bring me to the beach now? Could it be that the Ghost Palace is on the island?"

For several days, Zhou Zhiruo kept walking along the coast, constantly asking coastal residents about the Ghost Palace, but the local residents said that they had never heard of the Ghost Palace.

So Zhou Zhiruo thought that maybe the Ghost Palace was on a certain island in the sea, so he rented a boat to go on a cruise, and indirectly checked more than a dozen islands in half a month, but found nothing, and couldn't help but feel more and more disappointed.

On this day, Zhou Zhiruo looked at the rough sea and said, "After looking for so many days, I can't see the Ghost Palace, it seems that the Ghost Palace is not here!"

The Condor suddenly stretched out its wings and pointed ahead, and then jumped away, Zhou Zhiruo saw this, quickly followed, walked about six or seven miles, and arrived in front of a big mountain, but the Condor did not go up the mountain, but walked around the foot of the mountain!

After walking for a while, the Condor suddenly stopped, stretched out his wings and pointed at the stone wall in front of him!

Zhou Zhiruo stepped forward to take a look, and was shocked to find that there were actually three big characters of the Ghost Palace more than two zhang above the stone wall! And those three big characters were not engraved on the mountain wall, but each word was made of pure steel, and was firmly nailed to the stone wall from left to right! Zhou Zhiruo was overjoyed, but after looking around for a long time, he did not find any entrance.

But I saw that the Condor suddenly spread its wings and jumped, next to the spirit characters in the three big characters of the Ghost Palace, hooked the mountain wall with one claw, and turned around with the other claw on a small stone that was one foot long and protruding outside the mountain wall, and then the Condor jumped off the ground again.

But in a moment, a gap suddenly cracked in the stone wall below the three characters of the Ghost Palace, and this gap slowly became larger, gradually forming a hole, but the hole could only allow one person to pass through, and the body of the eagle was too big, but it couldn't enter anyway!

Zhou Zhiruo made a mark on the side of the mountain, and said to the divine eagle: "Diao'er, you wait for me outside, if I don't come out within a month, you don't have to wait, go back to Zhongnan Mountain!"

The Condor suddenly blocked the entrance to the cave with his body, stretched out his wings and patted Zhou Zhiruo, Zhou Zhiruo knew that the Condor didn't want to risk his life to enter the Ghost Palace, he was grateful, and said softly: "Diao'er, get out of the way, Brother Wuji is trapped inside, I'm going to rescue her!"

The Condor looked up at the sky, remembering Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu back then, and couldn't help but nod and let it aside!

Zhou Zhiruo saw that the Condor finally gave way, so he took out all the dry food and divided it into five parts, kept one for himself, and handed the remaining four to the Condor, and said: "Diao'er, after you finish eating these dry foods, if I haven't come out yet, you don't have to wait for me!"

Subsequently, Zhou Zhiruo couldn't bear to look at the Condor anymore, so as not to make the Condor sad, so she flashed directly into the stone cave, and said secretly in her heart: "Brother Wuji, you have to wait for me, hold on, Zhiruo is here to save you...... You're going to wait for me!"

The more Zhou Zhiruo went inside, the more incredible he felt, when he first entered, the entrance to the cave was extremely narrow, and after walking for a while, he found that the two sides gradually became wider. And the terrain is getting lower and lower, and it is in a state of decline! I can't help but secretly say in my heart: "It seems that this ghost palace is built underground!"

And every two zhang away, there are oil lamps on the left and right stone walls, Zhou Zhiruo checked, found that the lamps were full of oil, obviously someone often refueled it, and kept the cave bright.

After another moment, Zhou Zhiruo saw that the ground was already flat, and he must have arrived at the underground palace, only to see bursts of white light shining in front of him, as if he had faintly reached the exit.

Zhou Zhiruo walked quickly, and instantly got out of the hole, clinker, the scene in front of her made her feel very strange and terrifying, it turned out, she saw white lanterns hanging everywhere around here, and she couldn't count how many lanterns there were for a while?

In addition, there are bursts of sound from time to time

"Mortals go back, ghosts come in!"

"Mortals go back, ghosts come in!"

And the voices were mixed, and at least dozens of people shouted in unison!

Zhou Zhiruo looked around, and couldn't help but feel creepy, and she could only walk forward step by step!

Suddenly, a relatively thick and sharp voice came: "Zhou Zhiruo, your longevity is not over, let's go back quickly!"

After hearing this, Zhou Zhiruo said secretly: "How does she know my name? And what ghosts and spirits are there in this world? I just want to see, who is pretending to be a ghost in this ghost palace?" Although she was amazed in her heart, she was still silent on the surface!

Soon, the woman's voice came again: "Zhou Zhiruo, your yang life is not over, hurry up and turn back and return to the yang world!"

After hearing this, Zhou Zhiruo ignored her, and still walked forward, but suddenly bursts of white smoke appeared in front of her, she was shocked in her heart, she was afraid of poison, but as soon as she was lucky, she found that there was no obstacle at all!

But when he heard the voice, he said: "Zhou Zhiruo, you have one in twenty this year, and the book of life and death records that your yang life is eighty and three, so you still have sixty-two years to live, go back, and come back in sixty-two years!"

Zhou Zhiruo said: "Pretending to be a ghost, why don't the seniors dare to show up?" As soon as her voice fell, she heard a burst of "haha" and "hee-hee" sounds, which made people frightened and irritable!

After another moment, the fog and white smoke in front of him gradually dissipated, but the white smoke above the head and on the ground was still there, this kind of wonder was really unheard of!

Zhou Zhiruo walked for a while, but saw that there was a river in front of him blocking the way, the other side of the river was still white smoke and fog, if the river was not wide, Zhou Zhiruo could jump over with light skills, but if the river was too wide, this jump would definitely fall into the river!

When she was in a dilemma, she saw a faint voice not far away, and she was in good spirits. Walking along the river bank to the left, but after a while, I found a long white bridge, although the white bridge is not very wide, but it is enough to accommodate three people to walk side by side, and there is a tea shed a foot away from the bridge.

The shed is very simple, there are three tables of eight immortals, twelve benches, some dishes, chopsticks, dishes and spoons, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, and teapots and bowls are placed on the table! In addition, there is a big pot in the innermost part of the shed, the bonfire at the bottom of the pot is booming, there is a middle-aged guy next to the fire, and most of the pot is boiled in the pot, and the soup is fragrant, and anyone who sees it wants to taste it!

Zhou Zhiruo swam underground for a long time, and her stomach was already hungry, so she took out a silver needle to test, but the soup was non-toxic, and when she saw that the soup had a sultry aroma, she said to the guy: "Big brother, how do you sell this soup?" I'm hungry, bring me a bowl!"

Zhou Zhiruo said again, but the guy still ignored it, and seemed to be indifferent to the people and things around him! Zhou Zhiruo looked closely and said secretly in his heart: "This person seems to be a deaf and dumb person, but why would he open a tea shed in such a ghostly place?"

Zhou Zhiruo couldn't help but feel pity for him, took out a certain amount of silver from his arms, put it into his buddy's arms, and said, "Big brother, I'll drink you a bowl of soup, and this silver will be given to you!"

But I heard a voice from behind: "Wait!" After Zhou Zhiruo heard it, she found that this voice was exactly the same as the sound of reading the book of life and death just now, and it was obviously the same person.

Zhou Zhiruo immediately turned around, but saw that the woman was over forty years old, extremely fat, her face was covered with rouge gouache, her lips were black, and her eyebrows were red! This woman's appearance can only be described as ugly, but her clothes are very gorgeous, and she seems to be a middle-aged woman.

Zhou Zhiruo saw that she was older, so she stepped forward to salute and said, "Emei Hou Xuezhi Zhou Zhiruo has seen her seniors, I don't know why your seniors want to stop me from buying this soup?"

The middle-aged woman said: "Zhou Zhiruo, you don't need money to drink soup here, but you can only drink it if I personally serve it to you!"

Zhou Zhiruo listened to her voice with a sense of fear, and her heart couldn't help but feel creepy, fortunately, her martial arts have gradually improved over the years, and she has become brave and courageous, but she is not afraid, otherwise she must be scared to death!

Goodbye, the woman took a bowl of soup in the pot and brought it to herself, and the woman said, "Drink!"

Zhou Zhiruo stared at her the whole time, and did not see her poisoned, although she was hungry, she was still cautious, and secretly said in her heart: "Maybe it is poisonous, colorless and tasteless, it is better to be careful!"

After Zhou Zhiruo took the soup, put it on the table, and tested it with a silver needle, but saw that it was still non-toxic, so she drank it! I felt that the soup was delicious, and the gravy in the soup was silky and smooth, which made people have an endless aftertaste! After drinking the soup, she said to the woman: "Thank you seniors, this soup is delicious, I want another bowl!"

The woman shook her head and said, "No, one bowl per person, this is the rule of the underworld!"

Zhou Zhiruo said with a smile: "This is obviously the Ghost Palace, how did it become an underworld? Such a delicious soup, it's a pity to drink only one bowl!"

The woman said with a straight face: "The ghost palace is the underworld, don't you know that there is a bowl of Meng Po soup for one person on Huangquan Road?"

Zhou Zhiruo was shocked: "You...... Are you Meng Po?"

Meng Po said: "Exactly, you drink Meng Po soup, and you can reach the Ghost Palace after crossing the Nai He Bridge! When you get to the other side of the bridge, naturally someone will receive the ghosts who come in from the yang world, and it is you!"

Zhou Zhiruo smiled: "I am a human, not a ghost!"

Meng Po said lightly: "After drinking Meng Po soup, you are dead, no longer human, you are now a ghost!"

Zhou Zhiruo said coldly: "Yes, then I'll make you, Meng Po, a ghost, a ghost first!"

At the moment, he bent his backhand, and was about to cast the Nine Yin White Bone Claw, but he saw that Meng Po holding the middle-aged guy who was burning the fire with one hand, and the two jumped into the river together!

Zhou Zhiruo exclaimed: "Are these two people killing themselves?" I couldn't help but feel faintly numb at this strange thing in my heart!

Zhou Zhiruo crossed the bridge, and suddenly felt shocked, and said: "Brother Wuji is locked up in this kind of place, I don't know if he is still alive?"

After getting off the bridge, the white smoke and fog in front of him became thicker and thicker, and he couldn't see his five fingers, and he secretly said in his heart: "Such a fog, if you encounter a river in front of you, how can it be good?"

At that moment, she took out Murong Xue's Shenxiao Sword, the scabbard had landed on the ground, and before each step, she used the sword to explore the way ahead, making sure that the ground was ahead, and only then did she take this step!

So cautiously, walked for more than half an hour, heard a noise in front of me, there seemed to be a lot of people, at this time the white smoke and fog gradually faded, and after a while, I saw a tall city wall in front of me, and when I walked to the city gate, I saw three big characters above, which was the Ghost Palace.

Zhou Zhiruo saw that the city wall was seven or eight zhang high, and there were countless troops guarding the city and under the city, and the armor worn by those soldiers was painted with countless skulls.

In addition to two rows of soldiers standing guard in front of the gate of the palace, there is another pair of tables and chairs, on the chair is a thin man in official uniform, behind him stands a group of black-clothed maids, in front of him there is a group of people standing in line, this group of people are not the same costumes, men and women, old and young!

But I heard the man in the official uniform say: "You are all ghosts now, and it is the destiny of heaven to come here! I am the judge, I have sent you official documents one by one, and you can go into the city to get a house to live in! Don't make a noise, otherwise I will let the soldiers beat you into the fire cave, hehe, that taste is not pleasant!"

Then the judge said to the woman at the front of the line, "Name, identity!"

The woman was quite young, obviously scared, and said tremblingly: "Tan Ling, I don't have any identity, my father is a ten-master of the imperial court!"

The judge gave her a piece of paper with a silent face, asked her to sign her name, and said: "This official document is your certificate, you take it well, you must not leave your body for a moment, if you lose it at any time, you must come to me to reapply for it quickly, remember, without this certificate, the city army will throw you into the fire cave!" Then he instructed a black-clothed maid beside him: "Take her to Room 1823 in Xiyuan!" The maid took the order and took Tan Ling into the palace!

The judge immediately judged the next person, although Zhou Zhiruo felt strange, but once he came, he was at ease, and he mixed into the palace first, so he also followed behind that group of people!

After a while, the group of people in front of him had finished processing, and the judge was obviously very tired, and he didn't look at the person in front of him, and said, "Name, identity?"

Zhou Zhiruo said in her heart: "That Meng Po seems to know my identity, so it's useless to hide it!"

The judge was suddenly startled, looked at Zhou Zhiruo, and sighed: "Sure enough, it is worthy of its reputation!"

Then he wrote the word Tingxiangju on a piece of paper, and then asked Zhou Zhiruo to sign his name on the paper!

The maid didn't say a word along the way, and Zhou Zhiruo followed her, not asking anything, just secretly guarding against anyone making trouble!

After entering the ghost palace, I found that it was crowded with people, laughing and entertaining, no different from ordinary people, and there were all kinds of shops such as restaurants and embroidery villages, just like a city!

The black-clothed maid took Zhou Zhiruo around seven or eight alleys, and passed through rows of houses, and then came to a courtyard, where there was a plaque in front of the gate of the courtyard, on which the words "Listening to Xiangju" were written!

After entering the gate of Tingxiangju, he found that there was no one in the courtyard, and the maid took Zhou Zhiruo to approach a room in the center of the courtyard.

At this time, a burst of fragrance wafted in, and there were bursts of magpie cuckoo calls, Zhou Zhiruo looked around, there were no flowers in the courtyard, and there were no birds, and wondered: "Where did this fragrance come from? Where did this bird call come from?"

The maid said: "There is a waterfall behind this courtyard, which goes straight into the Nai He Bridge outside the city, there is a cave behind the waterfall, there are all kinds of strange flowers and plants in the cave, so the fragrance of flowers will come at any time, there are many small birds nesting in the cave, and sometimes of course you can hear the birds' calls, so this courtyard is called Xiangju, here is the hall of Xiangju, outside the hall is the courtyard, the left side of the hall is the kitchen, wine, meat and vegetables will be sent to the girl regularly, there are two rooms on the right side of the hall, the girl can choose any one as a boudoir!"

Zhou Zhiruo said in her heart: "The people who come here are so well arranged, this is not a ghost palace, but a paradise on earth!" Thinking of the people outside being ravaged by the Tartars and suffering from the war, the people here are much happier than the people outside, and then said: "Every person here ......!"

The maid hurriedly interrupted: "Girl, be careful what you say here!

Zhou Zhiruo sneered and asked, "Then every ghost or ghost who comes here will be treated so well?"

The maid said: "No, if a person has no status in the world, then no matter whether he is a man or a woman, regardless of age, when he comes here, the treatment is very poor, every five people live in a room, and there are still many things to do, I was an ordinary country girl when I was alive, so I can only be a maid when I come here!

Zhou Zhiruo said: "I heard you say just now that you still have to do things when you come here, so what do you need me to do?"

The maid shook her head and said: "The people who need to do things are some ordinary people from the human world and ghosts with low status, like the girl was the head of the Emei faction when she was alive, so she doesn't have to do anything after she arrives!"

When she said this, she paused and said, "I should go, the girl should rest!" Then, she walked out of Tingxiangju!

Zhou Zhiruo saw that the maid had left, so she casually strolled around the Tingxiang Residence. After a while, he became tired and returned to a room in the courtyard to rest.

She lay on the bed and said in her heart: "This Tingxiangju is also exquisite, but it is strange everywhere here, where should I go to inquire about the whereabouts of Brother Wuji? and who is the owner of this Tingxiangju?" After a while, he fell asleep deeply......
