Peach wood

Chapter 86 Muddy Waters

The provocative method really worked, and seven or eight men in black jumped out from behind them in an instant, all of them were tall and burly, holding weapons in their hands, and their silver lights flashed together.Mo Yun glanced back, feeling dizzy, wishing to swipe his palm over to extinguish all the dazzling silver light.But he can only think about it this way, those people don't know where they came from, and they don't know where they learned the technique of hiding their aura, but they are mortals anyway, Mo Yun's strikes have never been light or heavy, and they are usually killer moves. If it hurts the life of a mortal, it will be a big deal. Not only will he not be able to enter the Heavenly Palace again, but even Shuhuai will be dragged down by him and will be punished together with him.

If it was him in the past, he would not have to worry about rewards and punishments at all, but the situation is different now, he is alone and helpless, and everyone wants to grab him and bring him down. Attacking Mo Yun will also use this to lead the conflict to Shu Huai.Now that Mo Yun has a relationship with Shuhuai, he can't just take care of himself. He must be cautious in his daily actions and think more about the other party. He will never do anything that may bring danger. If danger is imminent, He took it upon himself.

But Shuhuai can't just rely on him to stand in front of him, just act recklessly like this, and mess around all day long!The little demon king turned a corner and didn't intend to go to Silin again. At this moment, he wanted to cry but had no tears, so he could only coax the person in his arms in a gentle voice: "Be quiet, be quiet. Don't provoke them, let's go back first." Hades."

Those men in black were not good at quarreling, they chased them all, as if they were going to kill them all, and no matter how fast Mo Yun ran, he couldn't escape the palace in a while, he was holding the book in his arms in the palace Turning and turning, he actually lost his way and came to an abandoned palace.When they got here, they got rid of the pursuers anyway, and the wound on Shuhuai's ankle had healed up to seven or seven times under the repair of spiritual energy. At this time, he was able to walk on the ground, so Mo Yun put him down and supported him. He walked to a more secluded place.

The wound disappeared, but the pain was still there, and Shuhuai gasped in pain.The sound was like that of a wounded animal. Mo Yun listened to it, and suddenly felt that a hundred thousand feathers were tickling his heart, which made him want to hug the person in front of him tightly again and knead it at will.

He finally held back, and he didn't want to do such things as taking advantage of others' dangers. His head grew on his neck, not on his lower body.

Shu Huai had enough of moaning, took out the round mirror from his sleeve, and poked his finger on the mirror.The ghost's face appeared at the other end, and Mo Yun looked over Shuhuai's shoulder to see Wen Yanzhi's expression, and felt that he was showing impatience all over his body.

"You will find trouble every day. Tell me, what trouble did you cause in the human world? Burning, killing and looting, what did you do?" Wen Yan's tone was not kind, as if he had just been angered, Shuhuai had no time to worry about this problem, pointing at himself A large smear of blood on the ankle complained to him: "Look, you have to pay!"

"Excuse me!" Wen Yanzhi scolded him, "Who knows what you're doing!"

After the ghost envoy finished cursing this sentence, he immediately cut off the connection. Shuhuai stared at the mirror that had darkened again, dumbfounded: "This guy, I'm working hard here, and he doesn't even pay me for the medicine?"

"Maybe something else has caught me up." Mo Yun squatted on the ground, rubbing Shuhuai's ankle with distress, "Why did that thing suddenly move? Did you miss it?"

"It's impossible to miss it. It's a dead thing. It probably has spiritual power added to it, so it moves suddenly." Shuhuai stood up and jumped twice. Feeling that there was nothing wrong, he began to look around, looking for a way out of here.They just ran here somehow to avoid those men in black. Seeing the surrounding weeds overgrown, the walls covered with vines, and a desolate scene, it must be the so-called cold palace.

The word "Lenggong" has always been associated with misery. Those who enter here are all unfavored concubines. There will also be great changes in the state of mind, most of which are completely different from before.Shuhuai stood there watching for a while, and listened carefully, only to find that there were no human voices around.It's no wonder that the number of empresses and concubines of the first emperor was not many. After his death, Yan Lingxi's biological mother eradicated dissidents immediately. The concubines who offended her before were all killed to prevent future troubles. Live in the cold palace.

The queen mother is still kind, but sometimes, living is far more painful than dying.Instead of slowly torturing those concubines, she did it simply and neatly, which can even be said to be kind in comparison.

But this is the "kindness" highlighted under the cruel contrast, which cannot be compared with the real kindness.It is impossible for the queen mother not to kill those people, and for those women, life must be happier, but the queen mother has deprived them of the right to live, so they can only choose a comfortable way of death, let themselves Before dying, it can relieve some pain.

The palace is so scary, it can eat people, and eat people without spitting out bones.Thinking of the half-rotten corpses of the palace servants, Shuhuai felt a little uncomfortable.Everyone thinks that if you get close to the royal family, you can enjoy supreme wealth and glory, but they don't know that there are evil man-eating ghosts hidden under the gorgeous appearance, and if you are not careful, you will fall into its bloody maw.

Only plainness is long-lasting, and most ordinary people don't understand it.

No one has pulled out the weeds, and they have long grown taller than a human calf.Shuhuai was walking through the grass, and he couldn't help but feel anxious, lest there would be a poisonous snake lying in the grass, and while he wasn't paying attention, he would bite that troubled ankle again.Mo Yun supported his arm and let him walk slowly on the fallen stones. They didn't go far when a small door appeared in front of them.

The little door was not the way they had come, and it looked odd in the wall.There is no sunlight on the door, and the faded vermilion flakes are peeling off like blood, which is even more terrifying than the gate of Hades at first glance.Shuhuai's back was covered with cold sweat, and he couldn't help but grabbed Mo Yun's arm, trying to turn around and look for another exit. However, when they turned around, they were surprised to find that all directions were blocked, and the high wall stood coldly, and there was no other exit at all. the door.

"Did you come in from here just now?" Shu suspected that he was careless, turned around in the cold palace, and asked Mo Yun in a low voice.The latter didn't answer, and the hand holding him tightened a little, staring at the weird door vigilantly.

There was a slight knocking sound from behind the door. It became louder and more intense. Shu Huai stepped back immediately, drew his long sword out of its sheath, and pointed at the strange door.On the other side of the door is another unknown creature, and its pure white figure can even be seen through the gap.A subtle feeling rose out of nowhere in Shu Huai's heart. Before Mo Yun could draw his sword, he swung his sword towards the wooden door in front of him.The vermilion fragments splashed everywhere, and the mysterious creature revealed its true face, and the moment it revealed its full face, Mo Yun couldn't hold back, and scolded Cunxue's mother.

"Sure enough, it's a formation!" Shu Huai laughed loudly, "Just smash it into pieces, no need to tie your hands and feet!"

The guy who kept banging on the door panel was actually their old acquaintance, the beast king who fought with Mo Yun earlier.

Cunxue gave it another space to move around. Now it doesn't live in the snow mountain, but lives in the cold palace.

Perhaps this also means that its status in the mind of its master has declined. The "beast" that Cunxue values ​​most now may be the Dragon King of the East China Sea.Indeed, other creatures were rendered very small in front of the dragon. The two white snakes in the East China Sea looked very fierce, but they also died tragically under the claws of Changqing's dragon. As for the beast king, he was defeated by Mo Yun's subordinates.Cunxue probably also understood its strength, and no longer used it as his trump card. It lived in the cold palace, more like being exiled.

Although the strange beast can't speak and doesn't have such a delicate mind, it can feel the change of its master's attitude.Shuhuai licked his lips, looked at this "big cat" intently, and thought that if it followed him, he would live in the underworld to eat delicious food and spicy food, how could it be reduced to such a situation!

If this is the case, it is estimated that there will be a fight with the wolf cub, so it is better to stop its journey here.

Previously, Shuhuai was still worried about other people in the palace, and he didn't dare to make too much noise. Now that he knew that he was in an illusion, he immediately let go of the restraint, and prepared to kill the beast king with Mo Yun. Its a relief.Cunxue may have been observing their movements in the dark. Like the snow mountain illusion before, this illusion is also used to hold them back. They must break through as quickly as possible, otherwise Changqing will not be able to see Yanlingxi. I'm afraid something will happen to the emperor and the cup.

It would be great if the spiritual power of the cup spirit was stronger, and it would be better if the black dragon's brain was more flexible.Shuhuai sighed, the pressure on his shoulders was as heavy as a hill.

The Beastmaster let out a low growl, and rushed over in a deadly posture. The most vulnerable part was directly exposed to Shuhuai's sword, but Shuhuai didn't stab it in the stomach. Instead, he stepped on the ground and jumped to another piece. on the clearing.His choice was correct. Not long after he jumped up, there was a deep pit where he was standing just now. His dark eyes could not see the bottom, as if he was going straight to the underworld.

Shuhuai didn't dare to imagine the consequences of falling.Cunxue was not so kind to send him home. Once he fell into the deep pit, what awaited him in the pit would be an even more terrifying scene.

In the blink of an eye, the sharp claws came again, Shuhuai kicked the Beastmaster's chin, and was about to smash the "array eyes" on it, but suddenly realized that the "array eyes" were not on the Beastmaster this time.

It was too miserable, not to mention being assigned to the cold palace, and even lost the qualification to guard the eyes of the formation.Shuhuai avoided its claws and began to look around again.He originally wanted to save energy, not to cause damage, and to save his energy to deal with the troubles from Silin, but Cunxue insisted on forcing him, so he had no choice but to give the other party some face and first tear down the cold palace.

Mo Yun focused on looking for the subsidence on the ground, so he accidentally missed the book pocket and made someone run to the roof.In an instant, rocks and broken tiles fell like rain, and the beast king was walking in Shuhuai, knocking down roofs one after another. Mo Yun covered his mouth and nose, coughing choked by the raised dust.This person doesn't look like an old man who has recuperated for 800 years, he is just like a vigorous child.The little demon king shook his head, feeling as if his nose was full of dust.Shuhuai was ashamed to complain to the ghost messenger, and when he turned around, he went to Mingjun and cried, asking Mingjun to restrain this troublesome guy.

The current situation is quite different from the snow mountain illusion, the beast king is reduced to a foil, and the real protagonists are the deep pits on the ground.In order to avoid them, Mo Yun was so busy flying around that he didn't care about attacking the Beastmaster at all. After a while, there was not even half a flat area left on the ground, which was full of large and small potholes.Shuhuai dodged to the side, kicked on the Beastmaster's head, boldly looked into the pit, and saw bright lights like stars, all of which were the eyes of unknown creatures.

There was a hissing sound, and the strip-shaped creature crawled out from the ground, his scalp was numb, and he wondered if Cunxue had any special attachment to snakes, the ground in this illusion was full of white snakes.

Fortunately, these snakes are just ordinary snakes, without horns on their heads and wings on their backs, otherwise, if they fly into the air, it will be a rare occasion in a hundred years.Shuhuai sneaked under the beast king's belly, trying to find a clean place away from the snakes, but found that the ground was densely packed with big pits, and there was no place to set foot.

Could the eye of the formation be on which snake this time?How can I find this!Shuhuai was dizzy for a while, anger rose in his heart, and he cut off the pillars around him.The beast king let out a long cry, fell from the roof, and stood precisely on the flat area between the pits. However, before it could stand still, it was kicked down to the bottom of the pit by Mo Yun, who suddenly appeared.Although those white snakes won't hurt it, it definitely won't be able to climb up.

Cunxue raised such an idiot, it's really embarrassing and humiliating, but the Beastmaster is indeed not suitable for activities in such a narrow environment, and the snow field is more suitable for it.Standing on the ruined wall, Shuhuai looked down at the struggling beast in the deep pit, thinking that it might not be able to crawl out for the rest of its life.

It was still not reconciled, its red eyes were fixed on the pocket of the book on the high place, and a low growl came out of its throat.But those who are hostile to it don't plan to pay attention to it, and its attraction is far less than that mysterious eye.

"How to break the formation?" Mo Yun also jumped up, squatting on the broken beam, looking at the Beast King at the bottom of the pit with great interest, as if laughing at its defeat again.The beast king understood his eyes, and growled more and more angrily, but Mo Yun turned a deaf ear to it, still smiling.

"I can't see where the eyes of the array are..." Shuhuai clicked his tongue, "Just dismantle them all."

"If you don't feel tired, then dismantle it now." The little demon king took a breath, and suddenly began to miss the snake soup he had tasted back then.I don't know if the snake raised by Cunxue is poisonous, if it can be eaten, and if it tastes delicious after being made into meat soup.

His saliva was almost drooling, and he caught a glimpse of this scene from the corner of his eyes, and was a little surprised in his heart.Who knows what kind of thoughts this wolf cub has in his head, but he picks his mouth at this moment.

Shu Huai always kept his word, he said he would demolish all the buildings here, but actually started to do it, and Mo Yun followed him to destroy everywhere, his stomach growling loudly.Shuhuai only said that he didn't eat anything in the morning, and agreed to take him out to eat candy cakes, but the scene in front of him suddenly changed.The broken walls and ruins have all disappeared, the ground is flat and there are no traces, the cold palace is still the cold palace, although it is dilapidated, it is still strong, and there is no sign of collapse.They broke the illusion and returned to the real palace.

Deliberately planting flowers but not blooming, unintentionally planting willows and willows to make shade, Shu Huai froze in place, not knowing what happened just now.Maybe he accidentally destroyed the eye of the formation, or Cunxue who set up the formation suddenly gave up the illusion, no matter what the reason is, as long as they leave the illusion.

But they were not fully prepared yet, and they were still a little uncomfortable when they came out suddenly. When Shuhuai saw the man in black jumping from the wall, he immediately cursed, dragged Mo Yun and fled.

It was the first time in his life that he was chased away by a few mortals, and he was quite ashamed.

This account should be recorded on Cunxue's head, and it will be settled slowly after he is caught.

"Xianjun..." Seeing the blood overflowing from the mouth of the man in white in front of him, the man was taken aback, and hurriedly wanted to call the doctor, but Cunxue waved his hand to stop him.Cunxue originally wanted to set up an illusion to trap Shuhuai and Mo Yun to death, but he ignored his injuries and forcibly operated the formation. The result of the formation was that the old wounds that had not healed would come back again. Right now, he was in a state of uncertainty, and he was suspicious for the first time whether your own judgment is correct.

The development of the situation has gradually exceeded the scope of his control, and the runaway horse is no longer under the control of its owner, and no one can tell where it will go.Cunxue wiped the blood from his mouth, dark red marks stained his sleeves, and he let out a long sigh helplessly.

I have to recuperate again.

"Xianjun." Seeing that Cunxue's expression softened, the man dared to speak up, "The layout of the palace is already in order, dare I ask Xianjun, when are you going to do it?"

"Tonight is fine, and tomorrow night is also fine. Do whatever you want, no need to ask." Cunxue glanced at him, showing impatience.

Ordinary people are really stupid, and they have to ask for opinions from others again and again for what they want to do. Wouldn't they act according to their heart?Sure enough, a bunch of brainless idiots.

The curtain was lowered slowly, covering Cunxue's face, the man stepped back in fear, and the wooden door closed softly.With her chin propped up, Cunxue was fiddling with the chess pieces on the table, black and white crisscrossed, changing from neat to messy.The water in the palace is about to become muddy, and he is the big fish that disturbs the muddy water. Let's see if that person can accurately find his figure through a pool of ripples.

When returning to the emperor's bedroom, the first thing Shuhuai saw was Chang Qing, who was lying on the bed with his mouth open, sleeping soundly. This guy occupied the little emperor's bed, and slept soundly under the quilt. , it may not be able to wake him up.Yan Lingxi was magnanimous, she didn't argue with him, she just leaned quietly beside Silin to study, but seeing that his complexion was not good and there was still a medicine bowl on the table, it might be that something went wrong again.

Shuhuai had never been ill before, so naturally he couldn't understand the feelings of the little emperor, but even a person who rarely gets sick would certainly be able to understand the pain of the patients. He could not help lowering his voice to Yan Lingxi. It was jealousy, and even wanted to pretend to be sick to win his sympathy, so that he could speak to himself in such a soft voice.

During the time they left, Yan Lingxi was not in danger, which made Shuhuai heave a sigh of relief.It seems that most of the injuries on Cunxue's body haven't healed yet. Now he has more energy than energy, and he can't do anything if he tries to plot against others.

At the same time, Shuhuai was a little surprised, he never thought that Cunxue would be at a disadvantage.In his impression of Cunxue, he was a guy who would never let him suffer. The words "seriously injured and unhealed" seemed to have nothing to do with this person.

Is he really recuperating, or is he designing a bigger conspiracy?Shuhuai took a sip from the teacup on the table, moistened his thirsty throat, and confirmed to Yanlingxi again that no one came.Seeing this, Silin put down the book in his hand, and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?"

"I'm afraid someone will sneak attack these few days, you have to be more careful." When Shuhuai said this, he happened to see Changqing on the bed waking up leisurely, so he pointed at the black dragon and betrayed his brother without hesitation, "First, put the black dragon on the bed. He stays with you, and if something happens, let him carry it."

"What?" Just as Chang Qing woke up, a big thunderbolt fell on his head. He was so frightened that his face was blue, and he hurriedly waved his hands to evade.However, Shuhuai had a tough attitude and pushed him back without any explanation, persuading him to focus on the overall situation, and said that he would help him take care of his wooden wife.

The wooden empress of Changqing didn't need him to take care of her at all. Heilong was crying and couldn't figure out why he was entrusted with such a heavy responsibility the moment he woke up.He didn't want to be the patron saint of the little emperor in the palace, he had no big ambitions, he just wanted to hide in the room holding the little wooden figure and talking to himself.

"Be brave if you're a man." Shuhuai couldn't understand his appearance, but he just lived in a different place for a few days, and it's not like he hasn't lived there before. Why is he so resistant this time?Do you think the palace is lonely and boring, or do you think that there is no heater in Yanlingxi, and your hands and feet are cold?Or is it timid and afraid of getting into trouble, blindly escaping?

"I, I'm not a man." Chang Qingqing was not upright, lacked confidence, and dared not speak, so he could only retort in a low voice, "I am a dragon."

"Then what you look like now, are you a human or a dragon?" Shuhuai once again used his sophistry skills, and waited for Changqing to drill into it himself.Hearing this sentence, Mo Yun felt familiar. Just as he was about to say something to remind Chang Qing not to speak, Hei Long replied stupidly: "It's a human!"

"Then it's over." The old fox succeeded in his tricks, hehehe laughed dryly, and while Changqing was still reminiscing, he hurriedly dragged Mo Yun along and ran away.
