Chapter 39 Entering the palace to ask for a curse and get the curse
Zhi Shouzhen said "hmm" in his heart, and the expression on his face did not waver at all. Even if something really went wrong with Bai Ting, he could not draw his sword to kill him.
After all, Bai Ting is a child of an aristocratic family, and he is also Xie Xuan's friend and his classmate.
A sword can kill evil spirits, but it cannot kill the worldly world. Since he has entered this aristocratic circle, he must abide by the rules of the circle.
Sword cultivation has its limitations.
Or maybe there are limitations to swordsmanship in practicing ruthless swordsmanship.
Zhikarizhen suddenly had an enlightenment, because the ruthless swordsman was used to distinguishing life and death with his sword, but many things in the world are not either life or death, but more often a kind of balance.
Is this the path of sentient swordsmanship? Zhi Shouzhen once heard from Ji Kang and others that Jiang Yan was walking on this path of swordsmanship in the past. Unfortunately, this swordsman genius suffered a heavy setback and has disappeared since then.
"Brother Yuan An, why are you so distracted? Could it be that you are possessed by an evil spirit?" Bai Ting carefully touched the spot on his neck where the sword blade touched him, then smoothed his messy hair and asked tentatively.
"Brother Bai is joking. I just think this place is too gloomy and a little uncomfortable." Zhi Kaizhen changed the subject and asked, "Brother Bai has seen Xie Xuan and the others?"
Bai Ting shook his head: "I didn't see it, they probably went to the underground palace first."
As soon as he finished speaking, a scarlet light lit up from behind, and then, dots of red light emerged one after another, forming a winding path leading deep into the dense forest.
With the help of a little light, you can vaguely see the mist at the end of the secluded path, the antique cornices and painted buildings are half-covered, and the hanging copper bells carved with beasts sway in the wind, making a "ding-dong-dang" sound.
"The underground palace! That's the underground palace!" Mengmengda shouted, "According to the "Egret Academy Secret Realm Chronicle", all the craftsmen and teachers who entered the underground palace in those years did not remember what they were inside after leaving the underground palace.
I have experienced it. Your Majesty asked about the underground palace, but they knew nothing about it."
Zhi Kaizhen pondered: "In other words, only His Majesty Yi Yan and Yimeng Huangliangzhen can remember the underground palace?"
Mengmeng nodded and said: "However, after His Majesty and Yimeng Huangliangzhen came out, they kept secret about everything in the underground palace. Yimeng Huangliangzhen only said, 'The evil spirits inside have been cleaned out.'
Let’s talk about this again.”
Zhikarizhen was moved in his heart: "A dream about Huang Liang Zhen says 'the evil spirits have been cleared', not 'the evil spirits have been cleared'?"
Mengmeng said: "After all, these are just records in the "Egret Academy Secret Realm Chronicles". As for the original words of Yimeng Huangliang Zhen at that time, I am afraid that only by asking her herself can we know."
"Yuan An, you are really good at talking about words...His Majesty Yi Yan personally took action, and of course the evil spirits were eliminated!" Bai Ting lifted her hair and said, "There have been so many students in and out of the underground palace in the past, but I have never encountered this one before.
What a danger, but I still clearly remember the experience in the underground palace afterwards."
There was a strange look on the cute monkey's face: ""The Secret Realm of Bailu Academy" records Yi Yan and Yi Meng Huang Liangzhen's exploration of the underground palace, and finally wrote a seemingly unrelated sentence: 'Ten years later, Your Majesty
Soaring through the sky, leaving a dream of yellow beam pillow alone in the world.'"
She recited this sentence several times and said: "As the founding ancestor of the country and an ascended immortal, how distinguished and noble is Yi Yan? Of course, the author of "Egret Academy Secret Realm Chronicles" dare not make unreasonable opinions and can only base his guesses on
, hidden between the lines.”
Zhi Kaizhen's eyes flashed: "Your Majesty and Yimeng Huangliangzhen will be separated from each other forever, and we will never see each other again. Is this considered a curse?"
The monkey spirit sighed softly: "This should be what the author of "The Secret Realm of Bailu Academy" wants to express."
"You two, what are you speculating about? Your Majesty has accomplished his meritorious deeds, and of course he will ascend to the upper world!" Bai Ting rolled her eyes charmingly, pointing to the scarlet light in the distance, "Let's go quickly, with Brother Xuan
They will meet."
Zhikarizhen looked at Bai Ting's raised orchid finger and murmured in his heart. He coughed lightly and said, "Brother Bai, this underground palace appears a little weird. Why don't we wait and see for a while before making a decision." Now that Bai Ting is out,
Abnormal, then you need to be cautious about what he insists on.
"Brother Yuan An, why are you acting like a woman?" Bai Ting stomped her feet and said coquettishly.
When Zhikari heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. Just as he was about to say a few more perfunctory words, the lights in the distance flickered suddenly, like a long snake snaking towards here. Wherever the lights passed, the branches and leaves of the forest that blocked it all began to bloom.
Trembling, turning into shadows of nothingness.
In an instant, a scarlet light enveloped them, making the faces of the two men and the monkey glow red, and their hair all red.
"Hey, that's weird! Why did the underground palace come over by itself?" Bai Ting was startled and suddenly screamed, "Curse! It's a curse! It must have triggered the underground palace curse!"
Zhi Karuzhen's heart trembled, and the silk bamboo sword he held in his hand shook slightly. The three-killing machine sword Qi turned into invisible ripples and swayed out, protecting the three of him. The monkey spirit kept a close eye on Bai Ting, guarding against him.
What a moth.
Lanterns are distributed on both sides, as if they are held by invisible hands and suspended in mid-air. The red light flickers blurryly, like eyes peering into everyone. The surrounding trees, mountains and rocks become illusory in the light, turning into a blur.
The phantom gradually fades away, like a real world receding like a tide.
The surrounding darkness became hard and cold, turning into high erected walls, pillars, and steps, and the sky turned into a dark palace ceiling, with countless ancient and strange patterns climbing all over the palace like dense vines. "Jingle bells."
When——" The ringing of the copper bells reached his ears, Zhikarizhen saw those lanterns hanging on the corridor pillars, the red light swaying, flickering, and vague writing on the translucent skin of the lanterns.
.
"Ah -" Bai Ting screamed again, "Third of the Ten Mysteries of Bailu Academy - The Unbreakable Curse, the challenge was successful! We inspired the ancient curse!" He flushed with excitement,
Even a pair of eyes showed a scarlet light, "Yuan An, the usual underground palace is not like this, it is definitely not like this! We succeeded! We are famous in the history of Egret Academy!"
I really want to slap you with a sword... Zhikari said in his heart. While he used his spiritual power to explore the lantern and read the writing on it, he asked calmly: "May I ask Brother Bai, what was the underground palace like in the past?
"
"Of course it's Guidianlan Palace, which is magnificent and resplendent with the atmosphere of an immortal family. There are also puppets such as palace maids and concubines. As long as you fight off the puppets, you can get elixirs, weapons, secret techniques and so on. In fact,
They are all old tricks that have been practiced, and they are meaningless." Bai Ting said enthusiastically, reaching out to touch the cold pillar beside him, and suddenly retracted it like an electric shock, and looked at Zhikarizhen in surprise, "Hey, that's weird! Since that's the case.
The curse was triggered, so why didn’t the treasure mirror or belt respond?"
At the same time, Zhikari really "read" the writing on the nearest lantern in the left row.
