MTL - Do You Know How to Capture a Villain?-Chapter 95 95%

The Candle Palace was originally deserted. After the lantern festival was held in the palace, the palace people who had stayed here to clean up also went to the lantern festival.

It was a huge palace, spacious, luxurious and resplendent, but after entering the palace, Ji Qingzhuo found that the palace was only luxurious in architecture and furnishings. These were the legacy left by the previous generation and had nothing to do with the current Emperor Liang.

She is in charge of the palace's accounts and knows everything about the palace's expenses. The palace is extremely simple, and even the annual lantern festival is held in a simple manner.

Therefore, there were not many palace people serving the monarch in the palace, so they arrived in front of the Candle Palace without meeting anyone along the way.

It was snowing heavily tonight, in order not to leave footprints on the snow, Shen Rongyu suppressed his breath to the minimum, summoned the Snow Burying Sword, only an inch off the ground, and flew to Candle Palace with Ji Qingzhuo.

The palace gate of Candle Palace was locked, and except for the gate, the rest of the place was restricted by Candle Moth—this demon was cautious.

The lock cannot be broken, and cannot leave any traces of opening the lock violently. Shen Rongyu commanded the red blood spring to hide, quietly penetrated into the inside of the lock cylinder, and relayed the structure to Ji Qingzhuo.

He can unlock the mechanism in the lock himself, but Ji Qingzhuo is faster than him.

Through Shen Rongyu's narration, Ji Qingzhuo turned the internal structure of the lock cylinder into a three-dimensional image in his mind, and quickly calculated the key to unlocking it.

According to Ji Qingzhuo's command, the invisible red blood spring opened the lock of Candle Palace, and after they entered, they resealed the lock.

Walking into the main hall of the Candle Palace, the wind blowing outside the hall blows up the translucent veil. It seems that there are countless ghosts dancing in the hall. The red candles on the incense table are still burning, and the wind has not blown the candles. blow out.

At the end of the main hall is the incense table and seats with red candles burning, but from the outside, the main hall is definitely more than this size. Behind the incense table is a dark golden wall with reliefs. After this, there should be a hole in the sky.

The embossed wall is a mechanism, and the delicately arranged mechanism is not as simple as a formation. The relief on the wall is a dragon flying among the clouds. The dragon's eyes are burning, and under the sea of ​​clouds is the territory of Liang Guo.

The territory of this Liang State is much larger than the current Liang State. Before the desolation and chaos, Liang State was a small country on the border of Yunliang. Later, it was disrupted by the war, the country was torn apart, and many forces split Going out to do their own thing, the original Liang country is only a tiny piece of land.

After the current Emperor of Liang Kingdom succeeded to the throne, those lost lands were slowly recovered. The village where Ji Qingzhuo crossed Huaren before was originally a territory of Liang Kingdom.

Ji Qingzhuo looked at the dark golden relief wall in front of him, while Shen Rongyu directed the invisible red blood spring to tap every inch of the relief wall slowly to estimate the thickness change of the relief wall. According to the information he fed back, Ji Qingzhuo was very Find the position of the switch that opens the relief wall.

"Xiaoyu, here." She whispered, pulling Shen Rongyu's sleeve.

Ji Qingzhuo held Shen Rongyu's sleeve and led him to the lower right corner of the huge relief wall. This part of the map is the unrecovered land of Liang Guo.

She stretched out her hand, took out the veil and hugged her hand, and put her palm on the map. Soon, the pictures of these maps spread out, and a small door that only allowed one person to pass appeared on the relief wall.

Ji Qingzhuo walked in directly, while Shen Rongyu bent down and passed behind her.

After they entered, the relief wall closed automatically. Ji Qingzhuo looked up at the other side of the relief wall. The thickness of each metal brick that makes up the wall is different. You can adjust the arrangement of these metal bricks to set a password. Without mastering spells, the mechanism they made is not weaker than spell restraint, and even has a more wisdom-condensed feeling.

After the relief wall, there is another world, still with heavy curtains, when the first curtain is opened, a huge formation appears in front of Ji Qingzhuo and Shen Rongyu.

It was the first time that Ji Qingzhuo saw the evil formation that was the eclipsed earth vein and star formation. At this time, the formation that appeared in front of them also gave Ji Qingzhuo an uncomfortable feeling.

She is proficient in calculations, and with just one glance, she can see that driving this formation requires energy, and above the source of the formation eye, stands a tall and thin candlestick. On the side of the candlestick, there is a groove for water diversion—or not for water diversion. This groove extends to the center of the formation, and the pattern is carved under the entire floor tile. Some fluid flows down the groove and will spread to the entire formation, providing energy for the formation.

The essence of this formation is "transaction", using the sacrifice on the candlestick as the party to exchange for something else.

Shen Rongyu raised his hand and pressed her shoulder.

Ji Qingzhuo was a little afraid of this formation, so he didn't dare to look forward, so Shen Rongyu raised his sword and walked forward. He saw that there were still dried blood on the candlestick, so he only gently picked up the dried blood with the edge of the Buried Snow Sword, and wiped away the dried blood. The bloodstains stirred up a little.

Humans and demons are different. The so-called blood of demons is just the embodiment of the energy of earth veins and ghost energy, while human blood carries vitality.

The burial snow sword devoured the dried blood clot, which showed that the blood on the candlestick was not from the candle moth.

"Is...the Emperor Liang's?" Ji Qingzhuo asked softly.

"This formation only connects the Emperor Liang and the candle moth. Even if other people bleed on the candlestick, they will not activate this formation." Shen Rongyu's voice was indifferent.

Although he still doesn't know the relationship between Candle Moth and Emperor Liang, this does not prevent him from thinking that Emperor Liang is stupid.

An evil spirit is an evil spirit after all, and the moment the negative energy combines with the ghost energy of the earth veins, the evil spirit no longer has any humanity.

"There are still things behind." Ji Qingzhuo pointed to the heavy curtains, lifted his skirt, and planned to walk over.

But when she got to the formation that was once full of blood, she flinched again. She wouldn't be afraid of any specific demons, but...she was afraid of blood and death, because the latter was truly losing everything.

Shen Rongyu stretched out his hand towards her, and hugged her with only one hand. He stepped on this formation without feeling any discomfort.

Ji Qingzhuo put his hands on his shoulders and whispered, "Xiaoyu, I'm sorry."

She knew that she was hesitant to move forward, and she was afraid of even a little dried blood formation, which was annoying, but... she just didn't like it, and subconsciously refused to come into contact with these things.

"It's better for Zhuo Zhuo not to look at these things." Of course Shen Rongyu knew what she was jealous of. He knew that Ji Qingzhuo's eyes were bad and he couldn't see the bright red color.

She dare not look at red, just because red is the color of blood.

He didn't know what she had been through, she was a very strange person.

After the sacrificial formation, Shen Rongyu put down Ji Qingzhuo. Behind the triple curtain, there seemed to be something sealed.

Shen Rongyu walked in front, and he used the Burial Snow Sword to lift the veil in front of him, the falling sword wind swept up and blew the curtain, finally revealing a corner of the things hidden behind the heavy curtain.

It was a corner of an old portrait. The image and clothes of the person in the painting were drawn in the royal style, solemn and solemn. Because of the age, the painting has been returned, and even the original beautiful cheeks of the person in the painting have also been painted. Mottled cracks.

— No one is maintaining the painting, it seems that it is just hanging here, let it be so weathered and old, just disappear.

The moment Shen Rongyu saw the person in the painting, his pupils shrank suddenly, and then he immediately covered Ji Qingzhuo's eyes.

He was always calm and ruthless, but at this moment, his hands were trembling, and his up and down palms pressed against Ji Qingzhuo's hidden eyelids, revealing his inexplicable emotions.

Ji Qingzhuo only saw one side of the portrait, and saw that the person in the painting was a woman with solemn and dazzling jewelry, and then Shen Rongyu covered her eyes.

She still couldn't see what the person in the painting looked like.

"Xiaoyu?" She raised her hand and held Shen Rongyu's wrist, with a puzzled tone.

She didn't understand why Shen Rongyu suddenly covered her eyes.

"Don't look." Shen Rongyu's voice trembled forbearance.

He raised his eyes and looked at the person in the painting, feeling violent. He didn't understand why her portrait appeared here. Now he just wanted to hold the sword, destroy the painting, and watch it shatter into thousands of pieces. Millions of shards, then burned with fire, let the dust scatter into the wind, erasing all traces of its existence.

Shen Rongyu's hand holding the sword was tight, but Ji Qingzhuo's eyes blinked under his palm, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly, scratching his palm, itchy and gentle.

"I don't look at it." Ji Qingzhuo had no curiosity about everything around her. Even though the portrait caused Shen Rongyu's emotions to fluctuate so much, she could still forget it immediately after the momentary curiosity arose.

It's okay to watch it, or not to watch it, since Shen Rongyu told her not to watch it, she didn't watch it either.

Her answer was very obedient, and could even be called a wise person's approach.

But Shen Rongyu's emotions still did not calm down, his fingertips slid across Ji Qingzhuo's cheek, his fingertips were still trembling.

"Why aren't you curious?" Shen Rongyu asked, his voice was very low, even carrying a hint of incomprehensible madness.

It seemed that as long as Ji Qingzhuo's answer dissatisfied him, his fingertips would move down, taking his life directly.

Ji Qingzhuo felt that she couldn't understand Shen Rongyu's brain circuit. It was he who covered her eyes and didn't let her see it.

Shen Rongyu, you really are a big villain.

Ji Qingzhuo's temper was still good, she said softly again: "Xiaoyu, you won't let me see it."

"You won't..." Shen Rongyu quickly suppressed the inexplicable emotions he felt when he saw the portrait, and focused on Ji Qingzhuo.

Her every move can easily attract people's attention.

He started a fruitless wrestling with her again—in the end it was his compromising contest.

"Won't you say, 'Xiaoyu, I want to see it, please let me see it'?" Shen Rongyu decided to teach Ji Qingzhuo how to express his demands.

Ji Qingzhuo said, "I won't."

Shen Rongyu hugged her tightly, but still covered her eyes.

If it was in the past, she would have kept her voice silent, and would have remained so stalemate until the end.

However, Ji Qingzhuo was holding his hand at this moment, and she could feel that his emotions were still unstable.

She sighed softly, and thought of the bones in the sea of ​​blood again.

Ji Qingzhuo felt sorry for him, so he thought about it and coaxed him to forget it.

So she said, "Xiaoyu, do you want me to say that?"

She threw the question to Shen Rongyu again, and this rhetorical question caught him off guard.

Do you want her to talk? Of course, he wants her to be interested in him, at least a little bit curious about everything about him.

But, does he want her to see it? He did not want.

He is the most secretive, the most ulterior secret, the secret he most wants to bury.

Ji Qingzhuo was still quietly waiting for his answer, her breathing was shallow, like a cute little animal lying in his arms.

For a long time, Shen Rongyu's low sigh came from the empty hall.

"Think," he said.
