Chapter 295: Residents of the Forbidden Land
He stretched out his hands to the door of the temple, and with a gentle push, "Zila", the two wooden doors slowly retreated with the sound of decaying friction.
"This is the palace!" said the Black Jiao King.
Will be silent, looking at the scene inside.
A long red carpet stretches from the doorway straight to the innermost.
On both sides of the red carpet, hundreds of yellow futons for people to kneel down and worship are neatly placed, much like the meeting hall of the ancient emperor.
And the innermost part of the palace is a dragon chair and table that looks like an ancient emperor.
Everything around is in great contrast to the outside.
Outside, there was nothing but white snow and gray rocks, and it was a gray world.
And in the palace, everything looks resplendent, and as you can imagine, there was also a grand scene here!
"Black Jiao King, you go to the tower in the city to check, dominate the two of you, go to the nearby stone house to check, Murong Wudao, you light a fire here, we are temporarily stationed here. Shomori ordered with an indifferent expression.
The Black Jiao King was a little annoyed in his heart, after all, no one had ever ordered him like this, but seeing that there was a solemn look on the face of the general, and he also knew that he didn't know who was the eldest and who was the second at this time, so he didn't say a word, and flew directly towards the towering stone tower in the middle of the castle.
And the two brothers, seeing that the Black Jiao King had gone to check the stone tower, they didn't say a word, and went to the surrounding stone houses to check according to the meaning of the general.
Murong Wudao smiled politely: "Director General, I'll go find wood, light a bonfire, and keep the ninth girl warm." With that, he walked towards the dilapidated stalls next to the stone street.
After all, that's the fastest place to get wood.
Walk the code and the nine into the palace to avoid the wind and snow outside.
Although several people are all great cultivators, it is not a matter to stand in the snow for a long time and be blown by the cold wind, after all, it is still necessary to find a warm place to sleep at night, if not for anything else, just to be comfortable.
A few hours later, the Black Jiao King was the first to return, and after entering the main hall, he said to the general guard: "The tower is hundreds of stories high, I checked the first hundred floors, the ground is full of dust, I can take a step to make a footprint, and there is no other way to climb the tower, I am sure that no one is there." ”
The general nodded, it seemed that the tower in the middle of the castle had indeed been abandoned.
After another half hour or so, the two brothers came back, his turtle-like head stretched slightly, and said, "Father, I've seen the stone house..."
"Don't tell me, just tell the general. The Black Jiao King said coldly.
It seems that he has completely given up the lead at the moment, and since he has decided that he will be the one who will take the lead, the others must first show the attitude of subordinates.
Ba Xialen, turned to the general and said, "We looked at the surrounding stone houses and made a few discoveries. The benches and stoves in the house seemed to show signs of regular use, and the two of us found warm charcoal in one of the stone houses, which seemed to have been used not long ago. ”
The general nodded thoughtfully, there are no less than hundreds of stone houses around the castle, most of the stone houses have traces of being used, and there are even traces of the charcoal fire on the stove that have been used, it seems that there are indeed people here, and there are quite a few people, so the question is, where have these people gone now?
"Not a single person was found in the entire castle?" asked the shomo.
The Black Jiao King didn't speak, and Ba Xia shook his head, confirming that there was no trace of people around.
Jiang Shou wondered in his heart, he also exuded his divine sense, at this moment, his divine sense covered an area of 100 kilometers, even if the castle was big, it could be completely covered, but he didn't find any total, and even the gray-clothed man before didn't find it, could it be that these people left the castle?
"Ignore them for now, it's about to fall into the night, I look at the snow around me, the night here must be very cold, let's camp here first, if there is anything, we will talk about it together tomorrow." After the general finished speaking, he walked towards the fire that Murong Wudao had lit.
Jiang Jiu listened to the conversation between the general guard and the Black Jiao King, and there was no tea talk all the time, just searching around the hall, as if he had a special interest in this hall.
At this time, everyone hadn't eaten for a few days, although they were all people who had stepped into the realm of the gods, but basically no one had practiced Bigu, let alone beast demons such as the Black Jiao King, and their stomachs were all "cooing".
"Father, our two brothers are so hungry. Baxia said.
He and another brother have been staying in the Yuan Shen Ring that they will guard, and although they have been in the Yuan Shen Ring for several months, they have not felt hungry, but after leaving the Yuan Shen Ring, their bodies have been hungry, which is indeed very strange.
"I'm hungry, I'm too, what should I do? Let me eat you? After all, I'm your father, and you two are my children!"
The tyrant was so frightened that he hurriedly shrank his neck and stopped talking.
Jiang Shou felt funny, watching the Black Jiao King's father and son arguing, and didn't bother to interject, he turned to look at Murong Wudao and said, "Senior Murong, since I call you a senior, you can tell me why there are traces of people stationed here, but we can't find anyone?"
Murong Wudao was originally filled with firewood, and the general guard suddenly called him, which made him stunned.
He thought for a moment and said, "If I'm not wrong in my guess, they're still here, just hidden, and we haven't found out." “
The general was stunned for a moment, and continued to ask, "Why do you say that?"
Murong Wudao thought for a moment and continued: "There is such a big castle here, there should be no big buildings around, since they found so many stone houses with traces of use just now, it means that there should be a lot of people here." So in other words, there is no place around that for so many people, so where did they go? We didn't find them, and most likely, they were hiding in an enchantment that didn't work with the spells we detected. ”
Jiang Shou smiled slightly, nodded, and said secretly, this Murong Wudao is really old, delicate, and his analysis is very reasonable.
"No matter where they're hiding, they always have to come out, let's stay here and see how long they can hide!" said the shomori.
The Black Jiao King suddenly asked, "According to the number of stone houses, their number is not a lot, and if we deal with them, if there is still a God King, wouldn't we be killing ourselves?"
Jiang Shou smiled without saying a word, did not turn to look at Murong Wudao, and said, "Senior Murong, can you tell me?"
Murong Wudao's eyes rolled, a little embarrassed, because this question was raised by the Black Jiao King, and it was estimated that no matter whether the answer was good or not, he would be slapped for a while, so he was a little hesitant.
Jiang Shou saw Murong Wudao's thoughts, and secretly said that this old man was quite cowardly, so he spoke: "Senior Murong, although you are bold to say it, I asked you to say it, and no one will be rude to you again." ”
Murong Wudao forced out a smile, then glanced at the Black Jiao King, and saw that he was not unusual, so he coughed his throat and said, "Actually, I feel that the people here should be very afraid of us. Because if they had not feared us, they would have destroyed us when we stepped into the forbidden land of the snowy mountains. But we are still alive and well now, and even came to the depths of the Snow Mountain Forbidden Land, in this castle, there are no people in the Snow Mountain Forbidden Land, which means that they don't want to meet us, and even are very afraid of us, and the gray man who has been three times and twice also confirms this, so I think they know our strength, so they will have such a reaction, and the gray man is a little suspicious of testing us, according to this conclusion, they will not attack us, we are safe. ”
Jiang Shou looked at Jiang Jiu with a smile, and saw that she also had an expression of approval.
"Hmph, I know that, too. After saying this, the Black Jiao King lay down directly beside the fire and began to pretend to sleep.
After all, here, there is really nothing to do other than sleep.
I didn't have anything to eat, I didn't have anything to play, I just wanted to do something, I didn't have anything, I was really bored to the top.
Soon, the cold wind blowing sounded outside the main hall, and the Black Jiao King was lying on the outermost, as if he felt a little cold, so he said to the overlord: "You, go and close the door of the main hall." ”
Baxia stood up and went to close the door.
Jiang Jiu looked around the hall, and suddenly said to the general: "This place is very big, let's go around, right?"
The general nodded with a smile, stood up, and began to patrol the rectangular hall with Jiang Jiu.
Jiang Jiu looked at the futons around the red carpet, stretched out a finger and counted them carefully, and touched the suede on each futon he passed.
As the two of them walked from the gate to the throne, the shogun asked in a low voice, "Did you find anything?"
Jiang Jiu frowned, and said in a low voice: "There must be someone here, and the number is more than a hundred, if I count correctly, it should be one hundred and thirty-two!"
Jiang Shou was taken aback, turned his eyes to Jiang Jiu, and asked, "One hundred and thirty-two people, why are there so many? Where did you count them?"
Jiang Jiu turned to look at the futon in the main hall and said: "Look at these futons, there is a little dust on the suede at the back, indicating that no one has taken care of it for a long time, and the futon in the front position in the middle, I found that there is no dust on the suede, which must be the result of someone often using it." I have just counted carefully, and from the clean futon in front of the middle road, there are one hundred and thirty-two, that is, at least one hundred and thirty-two people are sitting here at the same time. If one more is needed, then it could be..."
She said no more, but turned to look at the throne.
Apparently she meant that there were one hundred and thirty-two people in the futon, but if you count the people on the throne, the number here would be one hundred and thirty-three!
The shogun nodded, and it seemed that there were many more people than he expected.
"Click!" came the faint sound of wooden planks rubbing.
Jiang Shou's ears moved, Jiang Jiu also heard it, and wanted to turn his eyes to follow the sound, but he heard Jiang Shou say: "Don't look, let's go back as if we didn't find anything." ”
Jiang Jiu instantly understood the meaning of Jiang Shou, he actually wanted to wait for the rabbit and fish!
Let the residents of the forbidden land of the snow-capped mountains that are hidden take the initiative to come out.
As if they hadn't discovered anything, Jiang Shou and Jiang Jiu walked towards the Black Jiao King.
After the two sat down, the general said directly: "I'm still a little sleepy, I'll lie down for a while." ”
Jiang Jiu smiled sweetly, and gently supported Jiang Shou's head with both hands and put it on his beautiful legs.
Murong Wudao didn't look at the generals and Jiang Jiu, staring at the fire intently, as if he hadn't noticed the ambiguous behavior of the generals and Jiang Jiu.
The Black Jiao King turned his head and was too lazy to eat the "will keep the card" dog food.
Soon, the snoring sound of the general guard sounded, and the sound was a little loud, but Jiang Jiu did not have any disgust, but gently rubbed the general guard's face with his slender jade fingers, with a sweet and happy look.
The two brothers, on both sides of the Black Jiao King, leaning on the pillars of the main hall, also fell asleep one after another.
Murong Wudao glanced at the general guard with his residual vision, and smiled secretly in his heart, this is definitely a repetition of the old trick, he believed that the general shou had fallen asleep before, didn't he know that people were waiting for him to act, but he was caught, and in desperation, he handed over the fox demon god fetus, but at this time, the general shou pretended to be asleep again, did he find something and want to lure something out?
Murong Wudao was very fast, and he also lay down upright, his eyes closed, and he didn't make the slightest movement for a long time.
As the night falls, a cold wind blows around, and you can hear the sound of the outside whistling outside even when the door is closed.
At this time, there was no other sound in the hall except for the snoring of the guard.
Time passed minute by minute, until after the early hours of the morning, at the throne, which was about less than two hundred meters away from them, there was a sudden slight sound of a wooden plank cocking "Zila".
The sound was very small, and it was difficult to hear the generals guarding them a hundred meters away.
Suddenly, on the ground next to the throne, a long plank was lifted.
A pair of eyes, secretly looking around, and even more looking at the guards in the distance.
The owner of these eyes is very cautious, and even has a bit of Murong Wudao's style, after making a move, he has to wait for half a day.
When he confirmed that the guards were asleep and completely unresponsive, he quietly leaned out of his upper body and shouted something like a bamboo stick.
His body was completely off the ground, his feet lightly stepped on the floor next to the throne, and after a glance, he waved his hand into the cave, signaling that it was safe to come up.
Then, two more people, also holding a bamboo stick in their mouths, lightly drilled out of the ground.
When all three of them came out, the first person to come out pointed to the position of the guard, and then waved his hand to the two places next to him, signaling to detour from both sides, and the action must be light so as not to be discovered.
The two of them nodded, and then lightly walked around the table in front of the throne and slowly moved towards the guard.
Although the movements of several people were very light and barely made any sound, their speed was not slow, and the three of them quickly approached the generals from three directions.
The three of them suddenly stopped when they were more than ten meters away from the guard, and then inhaled in their chests, and their lips were tightly wrapped in bamboo sticks.
"What do you want to do?" a familiar voice sounded above the trio's heads.
