Chapter 10: The Imperial City
Now, I can finally appreciate the good intentions of the Hades in setting up the ban in the first place.
After a stick of incense, I really forgot what it was like to be sad and angry.
Leopard Tail said, if it weren't for this ban, I might be the most irritable female ghost in Hades.
I felt that he was right, so I thoughtfully sent him out of the Shrine of the Beginning of the Day, and then limped out of the courtyard under my eyes.
Yexun sat in the courtyard and drank tea the whole time, without even raising his eyelids, I didn't want to talk to him, but there were some things I thought about, it was better to make it clear to him.
"Lord Bai is discouraged?" Before I could sit down, he was the first to speak, and his tone was neither salty nor light.
Cut, what you said, I can't help it.
I sat down calmly, my fingers twirling the lines carved on the stone table: "There are some things that I feel necessary to talk to you." ”
He raised an eyebrow and nodded for me to continue.
I swallowed my saliva and turned my face to the side, avoiding his gaze: "That, it was my fault to accept the demon soul at first, if it wasn't for me, you wouldn't have to take the risk......"
Think about it carefully, at that time, the hall was full of officials from the underworld who were waiting to see a good show, and if it was me, I would have to die hard.
It just shouldn't be, I was joking at the time.
Yexun was silent for a long time, and I couldn't help but turn my face to look at his face secretly, only to see him staring at me thoughtfully, chuckling out loud when their eyes met.
The leopard tail is really a bad idea, this is good, sprinkling salt on the wound, making everyone laugh angrily.
The deeper he smiled, the more bottomless I became.
"Lord Bai" he opened his mouth suddenly, a pair of phoenix eyes picked it up, with a little suspicion: "Are you really willing to accept this matter?"
I shrugged my shoulders and looked indifferent: "This matter was caused by me, and besides, you agreed to it, so it's no fun to regret it." ”
"But—", I leaned over to discuss with him, "if you don't want to ......"
"Of course I do!"
Me: "......"
As he spoke, a red note slowly floated down from the courtyard, with some anger, and when it touched his fingertips, it immediately turned into ashes.
The paper is a way for the other prisons in Hades to inform each other of important matters, and it contains tokens that identify evil spirits, such as smells, clothing, etc......
And this time it was the smell that was received.
A smell that I knew déjà vu.
Sure enough, the evil cult I want to detain this time is in the imperial city not far from the mass grave where I burned the corpse last time.
The summer is scorching, the yang energy is the most prosperous, and the city is bustling and prosperous, and all kinds of breaths are mixed together, which actually makes me a little uncomfortable.
In fact, I'm not afraid of traveling during the day, it's just that this imperial city is special, and it is protected by dragon veins and social qi, which can suppress most of my spiritual power.
In order to preserve my strength, I led Yexun to find a secluded alley to cool off.
The scorching midday air was so powerful that I squatted obscenely in the corner of the wall, quite comfortably absorbing the cool air in the deep alley, although the appearance was a little unsatisfactory, but the effect was remarkable.
"Do you know why this is happening?" Ye Xun leaned to the side and said faintly.
I looked at him and explained disapprovingly: "Yin deficiency and yang are hyperactive, and I can't beat the fire!"
He sighed clearly, and then said coldly: "I thought that Lord Bai was what mortals often say this time-if you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself!"
I suppressed my anger, rolled up my sleeves and rolled my eyes at him with a smile, and then turned my face away, not wanting to talk to him.
Gradually, there was the sound of footsteps on the other side of the alley, and I thought it was a living person who had come to enjoy the cool like us, until—
A burst of sandalwood scent approached, and before I could see it clearly, it shrouded a piece of blue, and then there was a little round light, attached to my fingertips, and steadily submerged into my forehead.
In an instant, a cold and comfortable feeling slowly flowed into the whole body from the heavenly spirit, and the weight of Fang Cai was swept away, and the spirit body was comfortable and light.
I looked at Yexun in puzzlement, he had no expression, and he stood against the light, and the shadow was cast on his facial features, and he instantly shook like a god who had nine days under the earth.
"Better?" his voice sounded faintly above me.
I nodded, not knowing what to say for a moment.
After receiving my reply, he nodded and pulled his hand into his sleeve, took a few steps back, and unabashedly disgusted: "That's good, don't delay the time!"
The move was fleeting, and I wanted to argue with him, but for the sake of him just helping me, I let him generously let him go back this time, and only quietly scolded a few words in my heart.
When I took off again, the sun was already firmly blocked by the clouds, and most of the obstacles of the sun's qi were removed, which was a huge help to me in finding yin and evil.
Looking around, there are undulating green tiles and vermilion eaves in the distance, and the glazed beast spine is very conspicuous in the light.
I've been here before!
I remember the last time I came, it was still pouring rain at night, and between the vast rain curtains, I just thought that this city was very rich, but I didn't know that it was so big.
Ye Xun groaned slightly: "Lord Bai entered the imperial city alone, aren't you afraid to go in vertically and come out horizontally?"
I was so angry with this that I decided to give him some color: "Hey, did you see the palace over there?"
I tilted my head, stretched out my hand and nodded in the direction of the palace, and said hurriedly: "Now the little emperor's Lao Tzu is what I took away!"
Ye Xun glanced at me lightly, noncommittal, perhaps amazed by my great achievements, for a moment, he suddenly smiled, his narrow eyes narrowed slightly: "You are a little capable!"
I humbly waved my hand: "It's just a gesture." ”
In fact, that year was the mediocre old emperor who was about to run out, but he was reluctant to give up the harem of the throne, and privately used the evil way and demon law to continue his life and increase his life, violating the rules and laws of heaven and yin, and making a nation miserable, which had retribution.
So, on a beautiful night when the wind was dark and the wind was high and the night was quiet, I clicked him with my own hands, which was exchanged for today's Guotai and Min'an, and now I think about it, it might as well be a beautiful talk!
It was not easy to find a trace of the faint yin qi hidden in Lang Lang Qiankun, and it took a little more time for Yexun to deliberately find fault all the way.
Following the breath, we settled in a wide courtyard, a wealthy house, but the nobility of the house was dim and weak.
Looking at the style of the courtyard of this house, it should have been well organized with flowers, plants, mountains and stones, but at this moment, it was a trend of defeat, and the corners and eaves of the walls seemed to be covered with a layer of ash.
There is a large willow tree planted by the pond in the garden of the house, and the willow tree is one of the ghost trees, and this pond is backwater.
Combined with the gloomy black air in the shadows of this continuous house, you will feel a cool breeze just in the blue sky and daytime, let alone at night.
But the strange thing is that this mansion is dull and deadly and gloomy, a typical omen of a murderous house, but there is indeed not a single ghost in it.
With a "bang", the crisp and piercing sound of the cup breaking came from the wing room opposite the courtyard, and at the moment when the cup cracked, a woman's sharp and thin cry sounded.
"That wolf-hearted cheap girl, I have fed and drunk her for six years, and I also let her marry into the Imperial History Mansion, and now she is dead, and she is still haunting my family when she is dead!"
Yexun obviously didn't have the hobby of listening to the corner, and when the crying and scolding sounded in the house, he had already jumped lightly onto the eaves to check the situation of the entire mansion.
After a hard time, not looking for a ghost inevitably made me a little lost, which also means that we have to work hard tonight to keep vigil.
There was another hot smashing in the room, mixed with the crying of the little woman.
I sighed, and patted a little black gas on my body, since it comes, it's safe, let's hurry up and watch the play!
I had just poked my head in, and I was greeted by a fruit saucer, which made me reflexively squint.
Then, the fruit saucer went straight through me and landed on the stone steps outside the door, shattered to pieces.
It's so dangerous, at that moment, I really took myself as a person.
The room in front of him was in a mess, and on the curly carved couch sat a woman with unkempt hair and a panicked expression, and it was two maidservants who were trembling with fear who were lying on the ground and weeping.
I floated in, found a clean and tidy beam and sat down, but unfortunately a few people in the room were stimulated by my breath, and shook tacitly, and their faces were as white as earth in an instant.
The woman shrank down tremblingly, grabbed the shoulders of the two maidservants, spoke sharply, and her voice trembled: "Is that little beast here?"
The two maids didn't dare to say anything at this moment, they just shook their heads vigorously, and their arms tried to break free from the woman.
Without an answer, the woman shook off the two maidservants and stumbled out of the door.
The two girls in the house dared to stay anywhere, and they also fled in a hurry after the woman with the carved door on her back.
It's not interesting, just run, what does it mean to bring the door shut?
Now I was the only one left sitting on the beam of the room and shaking my legs in boredom, and my eyes swept roughly around the room, but finally I was attracted by the sudden bright red under the couch cushions.
I picked it up in the air, and the red slipped out on its own.
It is a new and beautiful red embroidered shoe.
The mind spun and turned, and then spun again.
Could it be her......?
