After Dugu Jiu cultivated his human form, he developed a strong self-esteem and did not want to think of his past identity. After a long time, he almost forgot that he was once a fox, drinking blood and hunting prey.

But today, for the sake of the queen, he is willing to face this disgusting identity again. As long as he can save the queen, he is willing to do anything.

The shackles were also opened.

Of course, the last iron gate couldn't bother him, Dugu Jiu lay prone on the ground, his limbs became slender, and his body was covered with fiery red fur. But seeing a flash of red light, the demon fox appeared in its original form.

It stretched its slender claws out along the rice hole, inserted the key and tossed it a few times. The door creaked open. The only poisonous spider was hidden on Dugu Jiu's body, and Dugu Jiu cautiously slipped out.

After turning around a lot, Dugu Jiu realized that there were three floors in the Imperial Prison.

Those like him, who didn't seem to be in any danger, were often imprisoned on the first floor, murderers and arsonists, or very murderous criminals were all placed on the second floor, and Murong Zhao's position was the last layer.

He was the only one on the third floor.

There were no jailers here, and people were afraid that Murong Zhao would take away the jailer's weapons, so they only arranged for a deaf and dumb veteran to bring him food every day.

This is a place where no light can reach, and the speed of time passing becomes a mystery. You can't tell if it's been ten years or just one day. Dugu Jiu couldn't figure out how Murong Zhao managed to survive until now without committing suicide......

It was so dark that it was frightening, and the end of the prison suddenly resounded with chains.

A muddled voice asked, "Who?"

There was a murderous aura in this voice, which was terrifying. Dugu Jiu said in a trembling voice: "General Murong, my name is Dugu Jiu, and I am in charge of the stars, do you remember me?"

"Well...... Murong Zhao muttered, "I have some impressions that you seem to be a loyal minister. ”

Dugu Jiu sighed: "I don't dare to be a loyal minister, but I am indeed a friend of Her Majesty...... General Murong, could you please save Your Majesty?"

Murong Zhao was stunned: "What's wrong with the queen?"

She ...... She fell for Tuoba Peak's tricks and was imprisoned in the cold palace. She is now pregnant, and if she is not rescued in time, she will probably die there with the child!"

"What?" Murong Zhao's tone rose suddenly, and it was not difficult to hear that anger was pouring out.

"General Murong, listen to me, I will save you out. But first tell me where the key is, and I'll steal it now. ”

The iron chain sounded lightly again, and Murong Zhao said in a deep voice, "It's useless." ”

"What's useless?"

"You can't steal the key. ”

"Why?"

In the darkness, Murong Zhao raised his hands: "Because they were afraid that I would escape, they directly poured the keyholes of the shackles with lead water and died." ”

Dugu Jiu felt a burst of despair, and he finally understood why this third-tier edict was unguarded - because there was no need for any jailers here, and they were confident that they would keep the prisoners in it for the rest of their lives.

Dugu Jiu was frustrated, he couldn't save the queen on his own.

But at this time, Murong Zhao suddenly asked, "Is it night?"

Dugu Jiu replied weakly: "Maybe." ”

Murong Zhao asked again, "Is it sunny tonight?"

"I don't know. What happened to 1 Mao, 2 Lines and 3 Chinese Nets?" Dugu Jiu raised his head, but was surprised to find that the two coal-like eyes in front of him were slightly emitting red light.

"Today, if I'm not mistaken, it should be October 10th, right?"

Dugu Jiu suddenly felt a chill, he thought for a while and said, "It's probably fifteen or sixteen ......."

After he said this, Murong Zhao smiled lowly and said slowly, "Little fox, let me tell you a story." ”

Dugu Jiu was shocked, although he entered the dungeon in the form of a fox. But he couldn't see his five fingers in front of him, how did Murong Zhao see himself?

Murong Zhao said: "Our Murong clan is a Xianbei people, who were expelled by the clan for some reason and fled to the Great Wilderness Mountain.

The ancestors of the Buliu Gu clan took us in and released us from slavery. In order to express their gratitude, our ancestors swore that each generation would be loyal to the Buliu Gu clan and would never betray, otherwise they would suffer from the devouring of ten thousand insects.

The time you have been an official in the court is not too short, you should know that every generation of the Murong family has held important positions in the army, either a general or a forbidden army, guess why?"

Dugu Jiuxin said: It's not because the Murong family is powerful and powerful, but the words came to his lips: "I think it's because the Murong family uses martial arts to inherit the family and knows the military." ”

Murong Zhao smiled faintly: "Wrong." To be honest, the people of our Murong family have never understood the art of war. We have won this honor entirely by force.

The Murong clan was born to be the best warrior - not an ordinary martial artist in your impression, but the kind that a person is worthy of an army. ”

Dugu Jiu was noncommittal, and Murong Zhao said: "I know you don't believe it, after all, if I really have such great ability, how can I be caught by a few pawns and dragged into this prison like a dead dog?"

The secret is that there is a condition for me to exert my power – and that is a round moon. As long as I can see the full moon, I can fight my way out of the dungeon and save Your Majesty. But if I can't, I'm just an ordinary person. It's futile for you to hope for me. ”

Letting the moonlight shine into the edict is no easier than breaking the chains and breaking out.

Murong Zhao thought that Dugu Jiu would give up this idea, but he only heard him say softly: "Now is about the end of the Shen Shi and the beginning of the unitary time, and I only have a few hours to spare.

General Murong, as long as I can let the moonlight shine in, you can save Your Majesty, right?"

Murong Zhao suddenly felt a determination to become a benevolent if he didn't succeed, so he said with a straight face: "Yes, I, Murong Zhao, guarantee it with my surname, I will definitely be able to!"

Dugu Jiu nodded: "Okay, I understand." ”

He drilled out of the hole in the ground where he came, and sure enough, a bright moon like a silver plate hung high in the sky.

So in the moonlight, in a corner of the high wall of the prison, a fox went mad and slashed the ground with his claws and teeth.

He's making a hole with his life.

The moon gradually moved from east to west, and in the blink of an eye, it was already in the middle of the sky.

The fox's paws and mouth were covered with mud and blood, but he would not stop. The whole point of his life at this moment is to keep digging down. He must let the bright moonlight penetrate the dead black prison.

In the dark, Murong Zhao sat down. When was the last time he waited anxiously with hope? He almost forgot the taste of hope.

There was a slight vibration above his head, and suddenly a speck of dust fell gently on his hair. Murong Jiu raised his head and muttered, "Is this a miracle?"

With a clatter, a dying fox fell from the dome with pieces of broken masonry, followed by the bright moonlight. It is like a staircase from heaven to the ground, as if to say: Come, I will give you back your freedom!

Murong Zhao gently took Dugu Jiu in his hand and said, "You fox did a good job, do you want to finish my story?"

Dugu Jiu opened his eyes weakly and said in a slurred voice, "Why are you talking so much nonsense?"

Murong Zhao smiled, only to see that many fine white hairs had grown on his body, which became thicker and thicker at a speed visible to the naked eye, and they were like iron. His lips bulged forward, turning into a carnivore-like snout, and two bloody fangs protruding from his lips.

"As soon as our Murong clan touches the moonlight, it will turn into a half-wolf, half-human monster. Because of this ghostly appearance, people expelled my ancestors from their homes. That's why I've never had a lot of affection for creatures like 'people'......"

He said as he twisted his wrist slightly. The shackles of cast iron were torn apart like papier-mâché.

"When I show them my fangs, their time of death comes. ”

Murong Zhao howled, and the creepy wolf howl echoed in the edict. That night, the nightmare of childhood fairy tales, the terrifying big bad guy returned—the terrifying wolf.

The queen lies on her side in the cold palace.

She heard an angry howl, and probably guessed that it was Murong Zhao. But she couldn't lift her head, to be precise, her heart was dead.

Half of the soul withered with Lu Feiyun's beheading, and the other half also left the body just now.

The child died at birth.

The queen felt him grow a little cold in her arms, and no matter how much she coaxed him and called him, he would not wake up.

The queen could only lie to herself that the child was asleep, and then sang the lullaby over and over again.

Son, sleep quietly in your mother's arms.

The queen's voice was gentle and poignant, like a ghost crying at night. After humming the song, she found a bunch of sturdy white silk hanging on the beam and committed suicide.

The corpses fluttered in the night wind, but the queen felt extremely relaxed. She stared in amazement at her pale face, protruding eyeballs, and purple lips. And the child lying at the foot of the corpse.

Am I not dead?

Oh, I see, this is my soul, I'm going to hell.

"No, how could you possibly go to hell?" An echo was heard in the distance, agitated and clear.

The night sky suddenly lit up, the wind emitted a burst of fragrance, and the rain began to fall. Hundreds of graceful celestial maidens slowly landed waving their water sleeves.

Among them, above a colorful auspicious cloud, is an immortal who shines all over his body.

He looked so sacred and majestic, awe-inspiring and inviolable. He flipped it over and said, "Ghost Blood Sheep takes the order!"

The queen muttered, "Who is the ghost blood sheep?

The immortal looked impatient. He snorted and said, "Who else is there besides you? Buliu Guyu was born in the emperor's family. It was originally the reincarnation of a ghost blood sheep in one of the seven southern quarters of the twenty-eight heavenly houses.

You violated the rules of heaven, were relegated to the world by heaven, and suffered the pain of losing your husband and child. Now that the punishment is full, you can return to the immortal urn, congratulations. With that, he slapped his slap twice listlessly.

The queen trembled: "So I ...... say"

The immortal official scratched his head and said, "Yes, everything that happened to you was arranged by Heavenly Court. Just to punish you. Okay, let's take the order, I'm going to go to someone else!"

The queen suddenly asked, "Dare to ask the Immortal Officer, what sin did I commit when I was in Heavenly Court?"

The immortal official had never seen a prisoner who talked so much, and he said impatiently: "It is definitely not a big crime to be able to return to Heaven in such a few years. It's nothing more than kicking over a wine glass or breaking a plate at a banquet......"

The queen's eyebrows rose suddenly, and her eyes were full of anger: "Can you kill my husband and son for a cup and a plate?"

The immortal official said: "Do you understand? You are immortals, they are mortals, what is the big deal about their life and death?"

"Are my relatives like ants in your eyes?" said the Queen.

The immortal official's face also sank.

"Ghost blood sheep, don't put on a show! Do you think that you are great if you are twenty-eight nights? Tell you, Lao Tzu has seen more officials than you have eaten!

Don't feel wronged. What's wrong with the dead people? Aren't all like this? Do you have the ability to reason with the Jade Emperor!

I warn you, give me the order quickly, or I will be punished for disobeying it!"

The Queen's eyes were full of cold hatred, and she said fiercely: "You killed my beloved, and you want me to pretend that nothing happened, this is impossible!"

"Bold!" the fairy officer shouted angrily, and the celestial maidens stopped dancing.

"Ghost Blood Sheep, since you don't know how to lift, I'm going to ask for another will!"

The light in the air dimmed, turning into dazzling lightning in a moment, and a thunderbolt rolled down every word the immortal official spoke.

But the queen was not afraid, and her eyes were fixed on him.

Suddenly, there was a low laugh from underground, and the earth's crust trembled.

The immortal official was taken aback and shouted, "Who dares to be presumptuous in front of this official?"

A bright red crack opened in the ground, and a bloody wind erupted from it.

The voice said contemptuously: "Insignificant garbage, be careful that I crush you to death with my fingers." ”

I saw the pitch-black armor rising from the pool of blood, it was a demon, his eyes darker than the night.

Someone once said that gods, immortals, demons, and demons were originally of the same origin, and there was no difference. It's just that those who obey the management of heaven are called immortals, those who don't obey are called demons, and those who don't obey and are particularly powerful are called demons.

The one who came was a demon king. When he didn't say his name, it made the immortal official and the heavenly maiden tremble.

He was the first asura, the embodiment of darkness - Rahu.

He tilted his head to look at the queen and asked, "Do you want revenge?"

"Yes, of course!"

The corners of the Demon King's mouth rose slightly: "Okay, follow me." ”

"Wait, Ghost Blood Sheep!" the immortal official shouted, "If you follow this demon, you will be the enemy of the Heavenly Court in the future, and the Heavenly Court will hunt you down forever until your soul is destroyed." Do you understand?"

Luo Hu smiled and said to the ghost blood sheep: "He is right, you have to think about it carefully." If you follow me, you will fall into the path of demons, and you will never be reincarnated. And I can't promise you anything but revenge. ”

The queen glanced at the immortal official coldly, and said to the demon king: "Only revenge is enough, I don't ask for anything else." But before I leave, I want to ask you to do one thing. ”
