Chapter 57 News from the depths of the underground palace
This night became particularly long because of Lin Song's appearance, but luckily Xu Changge's life was saved.
It is true that Mengyun also suffered a lot of psychological trauma, but Mengyun is a strong girl, and these traumas must be healed quickly.
Mengyun and I spent the most dangerous 24 hours in the hospital with Xu Changge. By the next night, Xu Changge's condition had completely stabilized.
Mengyun insisted not to let me stay here anymore and asked me to go back and wait for news from Emperor Jianwen.
I knew this was a sensitive period, so I didn't be polite to Mengyun and Xu Changge, and returned directly to the stronghold. After Emperor Jianwen recovered, he kept running outside, trying with Wu Min to negotiate with the people in the underground palace who were first loyal to him.
Get in touch with those old subordinates. It is already the third day since Emperor Jianwen left. If there is any news, it should arrive today.
Sure enough, when I returned, Emperor Jianwen was already waiting for me in the stronghold.
Seeing the deserted stronghold, Emperor Jianwen's face was filled with surprise.
I told him what happened yesterday in an understatement. Emperor Jianwen and Wu Min were both dumbfounded. They didn't expect that there would be such an episode at the most critical time.
But this matter is of no consequence after all. Even if Immortal Songhe comes to hold him accountable, I won't be afraid to face him. Lin Song died unjustly, and I have never regretted this matter. If I say that I have, it may just be a pity.
After boiling water and making tea, Emperor Jianwen, Wu Min and I sat down around a small coffee table.
Emperor Jianwen whispered: "I have regained contact with several elders in the underground palace. They revealed that the Ghost Mother is ready to take the next step, and the destination of their next step is the West Gate!"
As soon as I said this, I suddenly realized that the second uncle's news was very reliable. He actually got the next step of the ghost mother before Emperor Jianwen.
Emperor Jianwen lowered his head and took a sip of tea, and continued: "This time, the Ghost Mother seems to be preparing to attack the Ghost Mother. The time will be three days later at night. This may be our last chance to intercept the Ghost Mother, so no matter what, we
Don’t waste this opportunity.”
I nodded and said: "Yes, my second uncle also revealed this news to me before. He said that the ghost mother, like Yao Guangxiao, had discovered the secrets in the Lotus with Sky Eyes. This time, the ghost mother wanted to imitate Yao Guangxiao.
, I want to devour Gui Wusuo, and use Gui Wusuo's energy to reincarnate indefinitely in a period of time and space, and it will not end until Gui Wusuo's energy is exhausted..."
"I see..." Emperor Jianwen didn't seem to know about this terrifying method of infinite reincarnation. It seemed that the ghost mother's ambition this time was really huge.
At this time, Wu Min suddenly interrupted and asked: "But is our current lineup enough? The opponent is a ghost mother!"
Emperor Jianwen's face changed suddenly when he heard this, and he smiled bitterly and said: "Wu Min is right, we can only win this time and cannot fail, but our combat effectiveness is getting worse now..."
I frowned and calculated carefully: "Dahuang may not be able to fight. The final battle with the King of Dragons left him seriously injured. After three days, he can walk around freely, but strenuous exercise is absolutely impossible. Second Uncle.
Immortal Bian Songhe's recovery from his injuries is said to be good, and together with his second uncle, he can be considered a powerful helper. Master Garuda is left with serious injuries, and only Lao Mao and Xiao Feng are left...if we are added to the list.
, although there are many of us, our combat effectiveness is still inferior to that of a ghost mother and an emperor in white..."
After hearing this, Emperor Jianwen sighed bitterly.
I suddenly thought of another person, that is the legendary third sanctioner.
"Emperor Jianwen, you don't have to worry. My second uncle once said that they actually have a third sanctioner. This third sanctioner is very likely to come to help us at a critical moment. We are not completely hopeless..." I
He said quickly.
Emperor Jianwen heard the words but hung his head silently: "It's already this time, and the third sanctioner has not appeared. I think it is unlikely that he will appear in the key battle three days later. Lin Yang, we can't have such expectations.
If we are lucky, we must integrate existing and reliable resources. This is our only way out."
I nodded. Although I agreed with Emperor Jianwen's statement in my heart, I did not give up hope.
The time and place have been determined. I bid farewell to Emperor Jianwen for the time being and went back to my room to report the situation to my second uncle.
The second uncle quickly gave feedback. This time, the second uncle and Immortal Songhe will definitely use all their strength to intercept the ghost mother.
It's just that the second uncle never mentioned who the third sanctioner was. This time I was not polite to the second uncle and insisted on asking clearly, but the second uncle said that the identity of the third sanctioner was really special, so let him
I'd better not ask.
In desperation, I could only hang up the phone, feeling silently depressed.
The sky was getting brighter and the final battle was about to come. I couldn't tell whether I was scared or nervous. In short, I felt that my heartbeat was getting faster and faster, and I had no intention of sleeping.
I had nothing to do, so I casually flipped through an old book on the bed. When I took it in my hand, I found that it was actually the ancient book that Guo Fengxian had found for me. It wrote about how men and women can improve their abilities together. When I saw this
While reading this book, I couldn't help but smile, thinking: Rujun and I haven't even had a chance to try it before I turned back into a living person.
However, when I think of Rujun, I feel indescribably sad.
I don’t know if I can still save Rujun, let alone how the ghost mother will use Rujun’s body. In fact, the ghost mother’s soul can directly swallow Rujun’s soul and then occupy Rujun’s body, but
The ghost mother does not have it, which means that the ghost mother still has a certain use value for Rujun's soul. The ghost mother and Rujun cannot trust each other and be united, which means that the two people are not normal now. "
"Fusion of humans and ghosts" state, but another even weirder state...
I secretly thought that although I had never seen such a strange state, there might be such a record in this ancient book, so I quickly lowered my head to search, hoping to find a way to save Rujun from killing the ghost mother...
…
Early the next morning, Lao Mao took Rhubarb out from the hospital. The cost of hospitalization was not cheap after all, and Rhubarb basically no longer needed equipment for treatment.
I told the two of them about the Ghost Mother's preparations to attack the West Gate. Both of them looked solemn. Dahuang said that even though he could not raise the sword now, it would not affect the attack of the eighth sword. He still wanted to fight with us.
Join the battle together.
I didn't have the heart to refuse Dahuang's request, so I could only temporarily agree. Old Mao listened carefully to my entire story and suggested that I try to find Liang Xuexiu and ask for Mr. Liang's help.
Indeed, Mr. Liang was able to escape unharmed when facing the King of Dragons alone. He is considered the master with the ability closest to a "real person" among normal humans. If we have Mr. Liang's help, then our chances of winning will be even greater.
.
But after all, Mr. Liang is not from Sijiucheng. If he is willing to help, it shows that he is great and kind, but if he is not willing, there is nothing wrong with it.
In order to avoid being abrupt, I still called Xiaofeng first. Xiaofeng and Master Garuda lurked in a tomb site with a strong yin atmosphere not far away to absorb the essence for healing. After receiving my call, Xiaofeng
Ask about the situation and prepare to call Mr. Liang immediately.
After hanging up the phone, a familiar voice suddenly came from not far away: "Don't bother, if you come looking for me, I'll be right here."
I looked up in shock and found Mr. Liang Xuexiu, wearing a simple worker's uniform and a pair of reading glasses, standing so low-key in the yard of the stronghold with his hands behind his back.
When Xiaofeng and I were talking on the phone just now, he had already heard it. Unexpectedly, it was such a coincidence that he said that Cao Cao Cao Cao had arrived.
"Old sir, we will have a meeting the night after tomorrow that will affect the fate of Sijiu City..." When I was mid-sentence, Mr. Liang stretched out his hand to stop me, shook his head and said, "I already know everything, you don't need to repeat it again.
Again, you want me to take action the night after tomorrow, right?"
