Chapter 153 Grab and run
The palace on the water shrouded in fireflies, the officials going up to court, and the weird singing of birds that seem to want to imitate human speech, all set off the atmosphere of this underground space to be ghostly.
From Ji Que's point of view, those officials were talking and laughing there, no different from real people.
But this is the weirdest part.
Because they look like they've lived here for many, many years.
If these people have been living underground, what do they eat?
Those tree-like people before?
For a while, he couldn't help being curious about the emperor inside.
He wanted to see what kind of superficial freak the emperor here was.
Also curious were Ning Hongyu and Lin Xiangzhi.
Although Lin Xiangori was scared, she was also curious.
Although she knew curiosity would kill the cat, she just couldn't help it.
At this time, Lin Xiangzhi pointed to a room next to her.
There are some clothes hanging in here.
These clothes turned out to be red, green, and blue official uniforms.
So the three of them tacitly chose their official uniforms and put them on.
To be honest, seeing these official uniforms hanging in this dark room always gives people the illusion of hanging corpses.
After that, Ning Hongyu came out in red official robes, Ji Que and Lin Xiangzhi in green official robes.
Ji Que reminded Ning Hongyu to keep a low profile, but the other party said he liked red.
He was speechless for a moment.
This female Shangfeng likes red so much, he once doubted whether the underpants of this girl will choose red all year round, and will not change colors.
As a result, the three of them swaggered to the rear of the group of officials, and the process turned out to be surprisingly smooth.
Someone nearby saw them and didn't say much. Some officials even showed respect in their eyes when they saw Ning Hongyu's red robe.
Here, they can clearly hear what these officials are talking about.
They seem to be discussing the important affairs of the court, such as where is the disaster, where is the bandit infestation, and some complain about the empty granary.
In a vague way, the three heard these people talking about the political affairs of a dynasty called "You Kingdom".
Because he knows too little about this world, Ji Que has made up a lot of knowledge during this time, among which there seems to be a description of You Country.
That was a long time ago. It can be said that such a country existed before the establishment of the Dasheng Dynasty.
You Country is not big. For a long time, it can be said that it lived in the gap between the two big countries, Dasheng Dynasty and Yue Country.
Such a small country, in this situation, can be said to be destroyed with a snap of a finger.
However, You Country has never been destroyed. On the contrary, Dasheng Dynasty and Yue Country were quite afraid for a time.
Because it is said that the ruler of You Country is not human.
That's about all Ji Que knows.
To be honest, the history of this world is very long, and many places are also very vague, like a misty fog, making it hard to see clearly.
At this moment, a burst of suona sounded suddenly, frightening Lin Xiangzhi's official hat.
Yes, her cat ears nearly pushed her hat up.
After a while, the crowd walked towards the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
The crowd's discussion quickly diminished until it disappeared. In the flickering light of fireflies, this group of people also looked like silent ghosts.
The three of Ji Que followed behind, and finally came to the rumored "Hall of Supreme Harmony".
The Hall of Supreme Harmony is very spacious and tall, even though there are so many people standing inside, it still gives people a sense of emptiness.
The palace lanterns reflect the scene inside, and we can see the vicissitudes and antiquity of this building.
This palace cannot have existed for more than a hundred years.
On the hundreds of jade steps, there is not a throne, but a huge statue.
This sculpture is very magnificent, with a face at least as high as a three-story building, and it looks weird.
Ji Que had a hard time describing what he saw.
Its body is distorted, like a huge earthworm, with a human face with big eyes, and you can even see some traces of pigs in it.
Just from the length and width of the body, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a dragon body, but your first reaction would not be to connect it with a dragon.
But earthworms.
There are clusters of giant earthworms with unknown white hairs.
According to legend, the ruler of You Country is not human.
Could it be this kind of thing?
The tufts of white hair, and the mildew stains on the skin, looked particularly disgusting.
And directly in front of the statue, there are cages covered with cloth.
From time to time, there will be that weird bird song in the cage, and I don't need to think about it to know what it is.
Qixia Temple, all of them are here?
Foreign matter will bring them here, for what?
Ji Que and the three of them mixed in the crowd, not daring to act rashly.
Besides the sculpture, there are still four long-waisted species standing.
They are like guards and eunuchs, guarding the "emperor".
These four long-waisted species are very similar to the one they killed, with slender waists like noodles and large eyes, occupying almost half of the entire face.
Under the dim light, their huge pupils exude a breathtaking brilliance, like a yellow-brown abyss, as if a few more glances can **** one's soul into it.
They glanced at the officials one by one, with a great sense of oppression.
Ji Que and Ning Hongyu are both courageous people.
Of course, this is a statement of high emotional intelligence.
To put it less emotionally intelligent, it means that both of them are a bit head-headed and don't know how to live or die.
But even the top two don't think they are the opponents of these four things at the moment.
Only killing the outer one, even Ning Hongyu felt that it was tricky, the true energy in his body was exhausted many times, let alone four.
At this time, only the Venerable Chen Laoshi made a move, and they had a slight chance of winning.
But Chen Laoshi is still missing.
Chances are, he wasn't around at all.
They are the bait, but the fisherman is an old man, and he may fall asleep while fishing, or be entangled in other things, so he has no time to care about him.
At this time, the group of officials began to go to court.
The difference from when they discussed before is that these people are no longer speaking human language at this time, but a language that the three of them cannot understand.
"Hey, I know you are evil."
"Acridine is the same way."
These officials reported the situation one by one with a cautious look.
After a red-robed official in front of Ji Que and the other three finished speaking, the ongoing court proceedings suddenly fell silent.
Finished?
Just as Ji Que thought about it, he suddenly noticed that many officials were looking at them.
Especially on Ning Hongyu beside him.
The four long-waisted species looked at them at the same time.
Obviously, everyone is waiting for the minister in red to speak?
Ji Que secretly said: "Damn, I told you not to wear red, right?"
As a result, at this moment, Ning Hongyu cupped his hands, and replied: "Gao Yan Shou Hu, Yi Bang."
"攭攮,櫱."
After a while, Ning Hongyu finished speaking, and everyone looked back up.
Ji Que and Lin Xiangzhi were shocked.
Ji Que looked at Ning Hongyu, with only one meaning in his eyes - "You can even speak this kind of ghost dialect?".
Ning Hongyu replied with lip language: "No, I just said it casually, I didn't expect to get away with it."
Ji Que: "."
Looking at the four long-waisted species and the weird-looking sculpture, Ji Que and the other three planned to shake people after they passed by.
This kind of thing should be played by that honest guy.
But at this time, a long-waisted species lifted the cloth from a cage.
As expected, there was a Yuren in the cage.
Lin Xiangori's eyes widened suddenly.
It can be seen that this feathered man is dead.
Only half of his body remained, with broken feathers hanging on his face, and his flesh and blood turned black.
Lin Xiangzhi couldn't recognize who it was, but the blue rag stuck to her arm still showed that this was a member of Qixia Temple.
The cage was opened, and a leading red-robed official stepped forward.
This red-robed official was born with a hulking back, but his face was white and clean. It looked like his head was removed from someone else and put on it.
He first bowed respectfully to the towering sculpture, then came to the cage, took out half of the "feather man" respectfully, and muttered something.
"夞恡曑斸."
"If you know the truth, you will know the same thing."
Strange words resounded in the hall, and immediately afterward, the feathered people in the surrounding cages obviously felt uneasy, and made the sound of birdsong and big birds flapping their wings.
The official held Yuren's corpse with both hands, and walked on it.
If everything before was like a court meeting, the current scene is like a weird sacrifice.
Finally, the official stood in front of the sculpture and raised the corpse in his hand.
"嬵懠,鐌!"
The next moment, the huge eyeballs of the statue moved, and dozens of "tongues" wriggling like earthworms suddenly protruded from the mouth, and the corpse was sucked into the mouth at once.
Such a picture, even Ning Hongyu was shocked.
Because to her eyes, this thing was not alive before.
But it came alive in an instant and ate something.
After that, the white hair around that face suddenly surged, and scarlet blood flowed out from the huge pupils.
The officials below suddenly became agitated.
The long-waisted species also seemed a little uneasy, and one of them quickly tore off the cloth of the other cage.
"Dayong Xuxie!"
The official enshrined before suddenly spoke.
Ji Que saw it, and couldn't help asking: "What is he talking about?"
Ning Hongyu translated: "We must eat live ones."
Seeing the Yuren in the cage, Lin Xiangzhi's hat was a bit higher, and her eyes were fixed on there.
This feathered man is complete, even wearing a neat Taoist robe.
The bird's beak occupies almost one-third of the face, but his eyes have a kind of tranquility.
Looking at the clothes and eyes, Lin Xiangzhi already knew that this was the master.
Is it Master who died this time?
She knew that in this situation, there was really nothing she could do.
She couldn't help but look around, only hoping that the legendary Venerable Conquering Demon would appear and change everything.
But she saw no sign of it.
At this moment, Ji Que's voice came softly, saying, "Turn into a cat later, jump on me as much as you can, I won't slow down."
"what?"
Before Lin Xiangzhi could react, she saw Ji Que and Ning Hongyu walking forward.
The officials in front were somewhat dissatisfied after being squeezed out, but when they saw Ning Hongyu's red robe, they immediately calmed down and looked respectful.
Ji Que and Lin Xiangzhi endured more stares.
For a while, Lin Xiangzhi was in a daze.
Aren’t these two people afraid of death?
At this time, the master of the temple has been lifted out of the cage.
He was pinched by the neck of the official, like a goose being raptured, he could only flap his wings.
Who would have thought that the one-view master who used to be the master of the five realms of life, is now so humiliatingly manipulated by others.
The burly official pinched his neck, lifted him up, and leaned towards the statue.
The weird statue's eyes were still bleeding, but Ning Hongyu could sense that it had turned back into a dead thing again.
"嬵懠,鐌!"
Seeing that the officials followed suit, they lifted Lin Xiangzhi's master up to the "earthworm".
As a result, the next moment, he suddenly felt empty.
The official turned his head quickly, only to see a green-robed official hooking the sacrifice with an iron hook, and then ran away carrying three iron cages beside him.
The remaining two cages were carried away by a red-robed official.
Until this time, a roar sounded, and the four long-waisted species reacted, and chased after them with long legs.
At this time, Ji Que had rushed down the steps.
Before the officials had time to react, they were knocked out with a bang bang bang.
Hurrah!
That was the sound made by the long-waisted species' long legs running.
They are at least three feet tall, and their legs are not short. One step is equal to six steps between Ji Que and Ning Hongyu.
But at this moment, Ji Que's legs were already shaking like crazy, turning into phantoms. If this long-waisted guy takes one step, he can run ten steps.
His hair fluttered in an instant, and his tight face fluctuated like water.
Lin Xiangori grasped the iron cage and transformed back into a cat body. At this moment, her body has completely turned into a straight line.
The wind was howling all around, and she couldn't even open her eyes.
Yes, without any hesitation, Ji Que opened fire just after running a certain distance, and the Zhenyuan Lian behind him fluttered like fire.
Ning Hongyu stuck to the other two cages and followed behind, his legs also swung into phantoms, and his plump chest shook violently.
This is the second time she has found this thing to be in the way.
The first time I was with Ji Que was when I was fighting with Xu Qingqing.
Ji Que is around four, and there is a cat hanging on her, but she only needs to carry two cages, which is definitely a big advantage.
But Ning Hongyu soon discovered that she was gradually falling behind Ji Que.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Ji Que, who was running wildly in front of him, was like a lunatic, rushing out with gusts of wind.
When he rushed to the woods where he came in, he scratched several human trees and broke them on the spot, leaving only two legs swaying underneath.
But what can be clearly seen is that the eyes in the bark are full of relief.
The long waist is not slow, biting and chasing after him.
Ning Hongyu saw that he was about to be approached, he swam on land, and rushed into the crack with the cage.
The underground mountain crevice is quite spacious for them, but it seems crowded for long-waisted ones.
But what Ning Hongyu didn't expect was that the speed of those long-waisted species was not slow after entering, because their bodies were as flexible as snakes in an instant, and they could continue to accelerate by squeezing the mountain wall.
Ning Hongyu breathed heavily, and strode her legs frantically. The demon knife behind her came out of its sheath with a buzzing sound, and followed behind her.
If she is caught up, she can only fight!
