In love with the ghost king

"It must be." Tianxiang didn't wait for Meng Jing to walk up this time, and kicked open the palace door one step ahead of time.

With a loud noise, the red lacquered gate slowly opened in front of several people, revealing the scene inside the imperial city.

After a few people went in, they realized that there was a hidden cave inside. There was a small road under the city gate, which led directly to a palace.Surrounding the path are towering ancient trees, covered with countless exotic flowers and weeds.

Chu Sheng wondered: "It stands to reason that no one has been here for a long time, why are the flowers and plants still so lush?"

Hearing this, Meng Jing was startled for a moment, he was silent for a while, and then sighed: "These flowers and plants may not be supported by the earth, but by countless innocent souls in this palace."

As soon as these words came out, accompanied by the cold wind blowing from time to time, the hearts of several people couldn't help but tremble.

"Be careful, don't touch them." Meng Jing continued, "They have stayed here for a long time and have not been contaminated by the breath of living people. If they are allowed to touch, maybe something will happen."

When he arrived in the imperial city, Meng Jing talked more than outside.

How many people know that what he said is not a lie, just imagine, what can happen to the flowers and plants that feed on innocent souls is naturally beyond their imagination.

Chu Sheng said: "Since we have entered someone else's territory, it is better to be careful in everything. Let's not act rashly, go in and have a look first."

What he was talking about was the palace directly opposite this path. Based on his intuition, the things in that palace were not simple.

However, as soon as they entered, they were stunned by the scene inside.

From the outside, this is just a lifeless palace, at best it is relatively luxurious, but when a few people enter, they find that the inside of the palace is brightly lit, spotless, and the big red carpet is spread straight to the throne in front. It's like the place where the Southern Kingdom's imperial palace goes to court.

"When I look from the outside, why don't I know that there are lights here." Although everyone has doubts about this matter, they have experienced so many things in this short day, and it has long been no surprise , only Chi Qian, a silly boy, asked out the doubts in his heart.

However, no one answered him, so he found a way out for himself: "Everyone says there is something evil, and the outside is different from the inside, so there's nothing wrong with it."

After all, he smiled awkwardly.

"Who?" Tian Xiang suddenly pulled out the saber from his waist and pointed at a corner.

"What's the matter?" Chu Sheng was startled, he knew that the sky phenomenon must not be wrong after all the battles.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, an old man came out from behind the curtain in the corner, to be precise, he was a very special old man.

Because of his height, he was only about the size of a four or five-year-old child, but his waist was straight, as if he stopped growing when he was four or five years old.

The old man turned out to be a dwarf.

I saw it walking in small steps, walking in front of several people in a calm manner, stroked the beard that grew to its waist twice with its hands, its eyes were like lightning, it scrutinized Tian Xiang several times, and suddenly grinned He said with a smile: "But there are people who come to die again."

"You..." Tianxiang swung his sword and was about to stab him, but the old man dodged it lightly.

The old man stood beside him, still smiling: "Do you think that this Southern Palace comes and leaves whenever it wants?"

In this strange imperial city, a strange old man appeared, and everyone could tell that this old man's identity was unusual.

Chu Sheng quietly approached Meng Jing, and whispered in his ear: "Is this old man a ghost? Is it a ghost fairy?"

Unexpectedly, Meng Jing's words took him by surprise, and he said flatly, "It's a human being."

His voice was not too loud, but it happened to be heard by several people around him.

Hearing this, the old man laughed loudly: "It's just a living dead. Unexpectedly, more and more people have been sent to death recently."

Chu Sheng originally thought that if he was a ghost fairy, he would be fine if he just let Tianxiang Xingjun end it, but since he is a human being, the priest cannot hurt people for no reason, otherwise it will damage the immortal root. Ways to get it back for others.

So Chu Sheng stopped Tian Xiang who was about to start, took a step forward, saluted slightly, and said: "Old man, we traveled here and heard that this place is not very peaceful, so we wanted to come to the Southern Palace to investigate, I don't know...you Are you aware of this?"

"Mind your own business, it's too peaceful here, what's the matter with you..." The old man had his back to Chu Sheng, but he turned his head while speaking, but when he saw Chu Sheng's face, he stopped suddenly up.

He didn't speak for a long time.

Chu Sheng wondered, "What's wrong with the old man?"

The candlelight in the main hall flickered, and the old man's eyes suddenly became moist. He took a few steps towards Chu Sheng again. His steps were a little unsteady, and he was about to fall. Chu Sheng was so frightened that he quickly supported him, saying: " Old man, be careful."

"Son..."

The old man suddenly knelt down on the ground, facing Chu Sheng, bent down and kowtowed deeply, hitting his head on the ground, which made people's hearts tremble.

Chu Sheng was stunned for a moment, then reached out to support him, and said, "Old man, did you recognize the wrong person?"

The old man straightened up, but he refused to take Chu Sheng's hand no matter what. He still said with tears in his eyes, "Master, it's been 300 years. The old minister has been waiting here for 300 years. You...you are finally back... "

After all, he kowtowed heavily again.

Chu Sheng was very upset and didn't know what to do.

The two brothers Chi Qing and Chi Qian were also stunned, not knowing what happened.

Tianxiang and Zhuke thought in their hearts: Could this old man be an old acquaintance of Chu Sheng when he was a human... But why has he lived for more than 300 years?

Several people were full of doubts in their hearts, but seeing the old man tearful, they were too embarrassed to go up to ask directly, so they could only suffer from it.

After being silent for a moment, Meng Jing said from the side: "I'm afraid you have misidentified the person. This young master's name is Chu Sheng. I wonder if he is the old man you are looking for?"

Hearing this, the old man raised his head and murmured: "No...you are the son of the Southern Kingdom, the master of the old minister."

Chu Sheng was full of doubts in his heart now, but he didn't know where to start asking, and he also murmured in his heart-could it be that when I was a human being, I was really the son of the Southern Kingdom?

"What's your young master's name?" Meng Jing frowned, as if he didn't want the old man to pester Chu Sheng too much.

Ever since seeing the old man, Meng Jing's expression has been weird, and Chu Sheng can't tell what the problem is.

The old man wiped away his tears, and murmured: "In the entire Southern Kingdom, Chu Yunjing is the only one who is worthy of my master, Zhou Yu."
