Chapter 42: Reunion
A man in Tsing Yi pointed to the lotus root in the hand of Bai Gonggong and shouted to the people around him:
"Look, brother, what he's holding in his hand!"
Seven or eight people from the Tsing Yi Sect glared at Bai Gonggong one after another, obviously seeing him as the culprit who caused the exhaustion of spiritual energy!
Seeing that many people were coming towards him, Bai Gonggong used his last strength to climb up the lotus pond, turned over and rolled into the pool. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Tsing Yi people don't even take off their clothes, one after another jumped off the lotus pond and chased after them.
Su Ji sat by the pond and watched them search from the dark sky to dawn, only to catch a bunch of muddy water and grass, and they couldn't find the figure of Bai Gonggong at all. He must have fled long ago, so he asked:
"Something so big, why are there only a few of you? Mr. Mo?"
A man from Tsing Yi at the head of the sect twisted the sleeves of his soaked robe and replied: "The head of the sect has left for Shenhou Mansion yesterday afternoon to prepare to participate in the Double Ninth Festival Banquet. ”
It's now the ninth day of the new year!
Su Ji was taken aback, he didn't expect that he had slept for so long this night.
It's impossible to get to Shenhou Mansion before dawn now, so there's every reason not to attend that intriguing Double Ninth Banquet.
While he was secretly rejoicing, the man in Tsing Yi, who was talking to him, suddenly took out a dark green tortoise shell from his arms and said:
"Before leaving, the master set up a interception array, saying that when he saw you coming back, the master of the Spiral Spirit Pavilion, let me urge the magic circle to send you to the banquet!"
After that, the people of Tsing Yi immediately pressed the tortoise shell engraved with charms at Su Ji's feet, and recited words in their mouths.
Before Su Ji could excuse himself, he suddenly felt a trance in front of him, and in the blink of an eye, his feet were already standing outside a vermilion gate, and he saw the three big characters "Shen Hou Mansion" written on the plaque.
It's too late to complain about anything now, it's always coming. Humanity is that crossing the bridge is not afraid of soldiers, how can the Jiang family put on such a big scene, how can they not go to a scene.
Su Ji adapted measures to local conditions and said to Fox:
"Father-in-law Bai was originally a eunuch beside Shen Hou, and he was free to enter and leave Shen Hou's mansion. I want to use his identity to go in and save people, do you have a way to help me?"
The fox asked puzzledly: "My brother wants to save people, not kill people." Why sneak around?"
"My son has always been low-key. There is a way to go away after the incident, and hide merit and fame. ”
The fox smacked his tongue and said: "I think my brother is afraid of those who covet the position of the sect leader, and when I learned that it was my brother who saved the original sect leader, I will be angry with my brother!"
The fox said a word, and Su Ji was instantly embarrassed, and said as if nothing had happened:
"Joke! When has this boy ever been afraid! I just don't want to get into trouble. ”
The fox laughed secretly in her heart, and did not expose him again, but said coquettishly: "Brother, just rest assured to go in." Xiao Ji has already performed a nightmare spell on the entire Shenhou Mansion, and now when the people inside see you, they will think that they have seen Bai Gonggong. ”
Su Ji let out a long breath and strode into the door.
This was the first time he had entered the Shenhou Mansion from the main entrance, and as soon as he walked in, he saw the busy little eunuchs coming in and out with wine and fruit plates, and the frequent footsteps came and went, and the scene was like a group of soldiers preparing for war in a hurry.
"Hey, hey, hey, be careful! You idiots, do you know what day it is, dare something go wrong, watch your heads!"
In the busy flow of people, there was a strange shout of yin and yang. It was a tall and thin eunuch who spoke, holding a handful of dust in his hand, pointing at the other busy little eunuchs.
He was commanding others loudly and stingy, and suddenly found Su Ji standing behind him, hurriedly trotted over, made a big salute, and greeted with a smile:
"Oh, my godfather, you're finally here! Mrs. Mo has been waiting for you for a long time, and wants to ask you how things are going during the night. ”
What's going on at night?
Could it be that Li Rumei had long known that Gonggong Bai was going to steal the Qinglian of the world?
Su Ji's face changed slightly, he never expected that Li Rumei would collude with an old eunuch. However, now is not the time to worry about other people's family affairs, and the top priority is to inquire about Shen Hou's whereabouts.
He looked at the eunuch in front of him, and saw that his expression was intimate and flattering, and at first glance he was the confidant of Bai Gonggong. He rolled his eyes and shouted at him in a shrill voice:
"Presumptuous! It's your turn to shout about these things, you little minion who killed a thousand knives, do you remember who you are?"
As soon as the words fell, the tall and thin eunuch was so frightened that he fell to the ground, and hurriedly knelt down and replied:
"Remember! Remember! I'm a little carp! Hello son!
Su Ji laughed secretly, and already knew in his heart that this tall and thin eunuch was called Xiao Lizi. He hooked his hand, motioned for the little carp to stand up, changed his words, and said bitterly:
"Little carp, it's not that the Sprinkle family underestimates you, just rely on your virtue and don't want to mix up for the rest of your life! I think that when the Sprinkle family was serving by Shen Hou's side, there was only one way to make the master treat me like a right-hand man!"
When the little carp heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he secretly raised his eyes to look at Su Ji, and whispered:
"My son has always been stupid, can my godfather teach the younger one that good way, so that my son can serve you better in the future......
Su Ji saw that the little carp in front of him had been hooked, so he immediately pretended to be tired, held his head and said:
"The sprinkler family is tired, you carry the sprinkler family to Shenhou. If the Sprinkler family is in a good mood, maybe they will be willing to tell you. ”
The little carp was so overjoyed that he forgot to pick up the dust on the ground, so he walked towards the depths of the Hou Mansion with Su Ji in his arms.
Su Ji observed the buildings along the way and found that the Shenhou Mansion did not follow the layout of the "Nine Rooms of the Ming Hall" in the gossip of King Wen the day after tomorrow, and the entire mansion was built like a labyrinth of dense forests.
The little carp carried Su Ji around in many circles, stopping many times halfway to avoid the hidden grid of the mechanism. Su Ji glanced at it a few times with his unforgettable ability, and then firmly remembered the order of opening and closing those mechanisms.
An hour later, the two stopped outside a building called the "Requiem Temple". Su Ji must have been inside, and as soon as he wanted to go in, he heard the little carp behind him say in a slurch:
"Godfather...... That solution hasn't ...... yet."
Su Ji didn't even look back, and replied impatiently:
"The solution is: ask less, say less, don't see, can't see, when it's time to leave, get out of now!"
The little carp was like an initiation, and suddenly realized, and a flash of inspiration appeared in front of him, and he thanked again and again:
"Thank you, thank you godfather for your advice! Son, get out of now!"
With that, he ran away without a trace.
Su Ji pushed the door and walked in, only to hear the fox smile and say:
"My brother just looked like a tricky and eccentric old eunuch!
Su Ji seemed to have not had enough of the drama addiction, and responded in a strange tone: "Thank you sister for cheering, but, in terms of acting, where can I compare to my sister and you? If it weren't for my brother, my life would be great, and I would only be afraid of ......"
Fox Xi hurriedly interrupted him, and said coquettishly: "I didn't expect my brother to watch Xiao Xi as a play! The past is over! Don't always pull other people's pigtails!"
Su Ji snorted, closed the door of the hall, and glanced into the room, and saw a large bed, surrounded by a circle of fiery candlesticks.
Shen Hou was lying in the center of the bed in a gorgeous imperial robe,
The starry candlelight illuminates Shen Hou's fat face and the big belly that rises high. Fleshy hands on a flat wooden box. The wooden box was intricately elaborate, with intricate mechanisms, and must have contained something important.
Now he is no longer the skinny old beggar of the past, and when he wakes up, he will return to his original identity, not only the lord of a country on a high level, but also the lord of a religion admired by all people.
Su Ji took out the Shadow Lamp, and at this time its wick had been replaced with lotus seeds from Shengmen.
"Good sister, it's up to you. ”
The Fox Flame Urges the Wick with the Pure Breath! The Shadow Lamp bursts out with brilliance, and the dazzling light instantly overshadows all the candlelight, illuminating the entire Anling Hall with golden brilliance!
Su Ji looked at Shen Hou and found that his body had not changed at all, so he leaned down to listen to his heartbeat.
"Gollum!"
A strange sound came faintly from Shen Hou's chest, not like a heartbeat, but like something was actively flowing through his body.
Hearing that the source of the sound was his stomach, Su Ji put his face on his stomach and listened carefully......
"Gollum!"
He suddenly felt that his face was pushed by something, and he quickly subconsciously retracted his head and lifted the clothes on Shen Hou's stomach, only to see that his belly was propped up with small bulges, as if there were many small insects crawling violently in it.
Su Ji instantly got goosebumps.
"Gollum!
In an instant, Shen Hou's belly was like being pregnant for ten months, and it was getting bigger and bigger, and if this situation continued, the belly would soon be unbearable and could burst at any time!
"Smack!"
The wooden box that Shen Hou was holding with both hands fell to the ground, and the lid of the box was easily broken, and the box was empty.
How could such a delicate trap box be empty?
Su Ji felt an ominous premonition, and seeing that this place was not suitable for a long time, he rushed out of the door, took the temple door, and hid in the grass outside the hall to observe the situation.
Strangely, half an hour passed, but there was still no movement in the Requiem Temple.
Su Ji was really impatient to wait, and just wanted to get up to see what was going on, and suddenly realized that he didn't know when he had a peachwood sword on his neck!
"Don't move!"
A cold voice came to my ears.
