Section 18 The Underground Palace

The cold and mysterious underground palace silently displays many unknown aspects of the Infernal Sea.

A long dark passage, along the way had to pass through three guards and checks, after the last sentry, there was a light shining above, there were many houses in the huge underground palace, but there were only three prisoners, each held in different rooms.

The entire underground palace is more like the underworld, the light is dim, there is no trace of popularity, and it is ghostly.

In the first room, there was a black-haired monster imprisoned, a pair of beast-like eyes were revealed in a cloud of black hair, and his lower limbs and one upper arm were hung on the wall by a dark iron chain.

Su Ziang was startled, put down the food and left.

In the second room, there is a petite and delicate woman in linen, who is embroidering alone, a black iron chain is handcuffed to a white jade-like bare foot, and when she sees Su Ziang, she smiles slightly, and her smile is like spring returning to the earth, butterflies dancing on the branches.

Su Ziang's heart suddenly jumped, and he felt that the Mai woman's eyes seemed to contain a faint magic, and he wanted to step forward and touch it, and scoop up the Mai woman in front of him.

"Old man Niu was thrown into the sea to feed the turtle, what's your name? The woman in sackcloth asked softly?

"My name is Su Ziang, and I'm here to deliver food. ”

"You look so handsome, come and sit with the slave family, talk, and relieve boredom, okay?" The Mai woman's voice was softer and more charming, and her eyes showed a touch of brilliance, and Su Ziang's heart was rippling.

Su Ziang didn't understand why he had such a shy heartbeat, he panicked in his heart, hurriedly put down the food, and fled to the third room, only to hear a soft sigh from behind him:

"It's old, the slave family is so old, and even a hairy young man can't be charmed!"

The door of the third room was wide open, and the tables and chairs inside were complete, and I saw a pile of books, among which there was a copy of "Master's Training" that Su Ziang had memorized, but I didn't see anyone.

"Is there anyone?" asked Su Ziang loudly.

"Who?" An old man with snow-white hair suddenly poked his head out from under the bookcase, looked Su Ziang up and down with his eyes like lightning, and suddenly sighed: "A hundred years have passed, the calf has a thin life, who is the child's surname?"

"My name is Su Ziang. Su Ziang Yile, I feel that the old man speaks with ancient meanings, as if he is chanting poetry, but his literary talent is limited, and he can just understand the meaning, but he doesn't know how to take the next words.

The old man got out from under the bookcase and stood up, wearing a square scarf on his head, and a jade pendant on his waist fell on his white robe like snow, like a showman rushing to take the exam, but there was no iron chain on his feet, and he was leaning on the side of the desk and counting the numbers, and there were words in his mouth.

"Su Ziang's five elements of life are less water and fire, only civil engineering and gold, and the main murderer is short-lived, but if people are born on the winter solstice, the sky is at the point of extreme yin, and they can be transferred step by step in the future. ”

"Is Grandpa a fortune teller?" Su Ziang was confused and asked, "What's your name?"

"The old man Tianji Xiushi is the eye of the dynasty, he has been in the Tanhua, and he was born in Xiucai. Tianji Xiushi was tall, and he reported a lot of official names with great momentum, and said with a smile: "Asking fortune telling is a ninth-rate, and the old man is just entertaining himself with this." ”

Su Ziang had studied in the Red Leaf Valley for a few years, and he knew a little about it, and he praised at the moment: "Grandpa Tianji is so powerful, he is both a role model and a flower explorer, has he ever won the champion?"

"Indeed, it is the champion from nothing. Tianji Xiushi's old face was red, and a wave of wind and mist faintly flashed in his eyes, and he said with some embarrassment: "The old man is hiding in the Infernal Sea and reading hundreds of poems and books, that is, he will rush to Luodu to take the top prize in the future, and fulfill his long-cherished wish for many years, can the child be willing to accompany the old master to read?"

Su Ziang saw the strange look flashing in Tianji Xiushi's eyes, he was shocked in his heart, but he didn't dare to ask in detail, and replied casually: "In the future, if I have nothing to do, I will come to accompany the old master to read." ”

Boil soup and deliver rice, chop wood to sleep.

The days in the Infernal Sea went on day after day, everything was as empty as a towering gray temple, nothing would ever change, everyone was numb and repeating everything, and the end of the road seemed to be only death, and only death could free it all.

All the time, new prisoners are brought in, and all the time old prisoners go crazy or disappear.

There was a thin, skeletal-like big-eyed prisoner who stood outside the fence and refused to leave every time he received a big bone, and he did not look at Su Ziang much, he was obviously very greedy but never asked for it, and tried his best to maintain his last dignity, because of his unique appearance and demeanor, Su Ziang was deeply impressed, and he suddenly disappeared recently.

Yan Qianhu secretly told Su Ziang that the person had died, and he had already been thrown into the Infernal Sea to feed the turtle.

The prisoner who was still receiving food yesterday suddenly said that it was gone, and Su Ziang felt scared and shocked at first, but after a long time, he slowly became numb, and maybe in a few decades, he would also be thrown into the Infernal Sea to feed the turtle.

Yan Qianhu persuaded him afterwards that there is nothing difficult in life except death!

In order to please the little prince who had never met, he often taught Su Ziang some new recipes for boiling soup, and after a little pointer, he let Su Ziang boil it himself.

According to Gonggong Feng, each pot of soup is worth more than ten thousand spirit stones, so a bowl of soup is worth at least thousands of spirit stones.

No matter what kind of soup, Su Ziang drank two bowls of one pot by himself, and then added two more bowls of water, but no matter how precious the soup is, it is no different from drinking ordinary vegetable soup, the most obvious change is that as a large amount of black oil in the body continues to seep out, the skin on the body becomes whiter and whiter, and a layer of jade-like luster shines.

Another change is that the feeling of strength has become greater, in the past, when chopping firewood, you need to hold the handle of the knife with both hands and chop fiercely, but now chopping firewood is just a knife, and a thick piece of firewood is halved with the knife.

Su Ziang was worried that Gonggong Feng would find out about his abnormality, so he used stove ash to smear his face and neck with gray complexion, and even rarely took a bath to cover it up, but fortunately, it was gray in the Infernal Sea, and most of the stoves were steaming, and no one noticed Su Ziang's subtle changes for a while.

With the passage of time, he gradually became familiar with the prisoners, and occasionally said a few words that were not salty or light, Su Ziang scooped two more spoonfuls of soup for familiar people such as Helian Blood Wolf, etc., and picked the smallest one for a bag of disgusted people like Shi.

On this day, it was the day of bathing and rest, and at the request of Yan Qianhu, Su Ziang took a little delicious food from the kitchen and gave it to Yan Qianhu.

"Grandpa Yan, I gave you a piece of fragrant snow donkey meat today, eat it quickly, don't let people find out. ”

"Okay, okay, bring it quickly!" Yan Qianhu's eyes lit up and he nodded again and again, and after taking the snow donkey meat in Su Ziang's hand, he didn't look at it, he stuffed it directly into his mouth, and was about to chew and swallow it.

Two figures rushed from the side, one hugged his waist, the other hugged his neck, tightly wrapped Yan Qianhu, and shouted in a low voice: "Yan Lao'er, I saw that it was wrong for you two ghosts and ghosts to worship, and it is good to give a little to your brother to eat, otherwise it will not be over." ”

Yan Qianhu raised his elbow, smashed the weakness of the man who hugged his neck behind his back, and the man behind him felt pain and his arm strength was loosened, Yan Qianhu performed bone removal surgery, and his neck shrank like a turtle's neck and came out of the man's arms.

The man with his waist behind his back fell to the waist and dragged Yan Qianhu to the ground, without waiting for Yan Qianhu to move, the man who hugged his neck and his body pounced, and hugged Yan Qianhu tightly, and the three of them suddenly twisted into a ball and fought endlessly.
