Chapter three hundred and eighty first sudden new skills
Xu Zhiqiong slowly sat up.
After taking a full breath, Xu Zhiqiong's spirit was very high.
But his meridians were bulging and his body was a little clumsy.
I have to find a way to release the energy from my body.
The fastest way is to use the Tiger Killing Slash. After dozens of cuts, the excess Qi will be almost dissipated.
But this is the East Palace, and Lu Yunxi is still squatting at the door. If Xu Zhiqiong accidentally demolishes the house, Lu Yunxi will definitely not let him go.
We are judges, not vulgar warriors, just dissipating energy, so there is no need to make such a big noise.
Besides, Xu Zhiqiong still has serious things to do.
He took out a small paper bag from his arms and poured out a few beans.
This is his specially prepared bait, which has an irresistible allure for rats. Even if they are two or three miles away, they will rush into Xu Zhiqiong's arms.
Not long after, a mouse really rushed over.
Xu Zhiqiong pounced on the mouse, but failed to hit the mouse. He poked his head on the ground and accidentally swallowed a piece of bait.
In the past, there was no need to pounce, just look at each other and you could succeed.
But today, with too much energy, Xu Zhiqiong's movements were extremely uncoordinated and his skills were not smooth. After three consecutive efforts, he finally controlled a mouse.
Xu Zhiqiong possessed the mouse and suddenly felt that his body was much lighter. He slipped through the crack of the door to the outside. When he saw Lu Yunxi and a group of servants, their eyes were wide open and they were staring at the door, not daring to slack off at all.
Xu Zhiqiong raised his front paws, sat on his tail, and looked at the group of servants proudly.
Just stare here and see what you can figure out.
A chamberlain suddenly shouted: "There is a mouse!"
Lu Yunxi shouted: "Beat him to death!"
The chamberlain picked up a broom and came to beat him, and Xu Zhiqiong ran out of the East Palace in a hurry.
Walking north along the East Palace, Xu Zhiqiong's destination is the Secret Pavilion.
The palace was much deserted than before because the emperor was not here.
Emperor Zhaoxing died and the new emperor had not yet ascended the throne. The palace servants and the imperial army were much freer.
It is said that a country cannot live without a king for a day. This is a joke when you think about it. When there are no emergencies, the king is basically redundant. The cabinet and ministers can handle daily affairs in an orderly manner.
After passing through Zuoye Gate and Chongwen Courtyard, Xu Zhiqiong came to the Secret Pavilion.
There were several guards standing at the door, swaying around and dozing off, sleeping very deeply.
Why do you sleep so deeply?
The palace guards should not be like this. Even if they are lazy and just take a nap, now they are even snoring.
Could it be that he was tricked?
Xu Zhiqiong put his guard up and carefully got into the yard. He did not rush into the secret pavilion, but lay down under the bed and listened quietly.
Someone!
More than one person.
There was a whisper in the secret pavilion, and it seemed like the footsteps of dozens of people were moving through the secret pavilion.
Why do all these people come to the Secret Pavilion in the middle of the night?
Are there any ministers discussing matters here?
No, these people are very light-footed and have great cultivation.
Sixteen, nineteen, twenty-six...a total of thirty-one people.
It's hard to say whether it would be dangerous to go in like this.
But I am a mouse, so as long as the opponent's cultivation level is not too high, I shouldn't be able to see any flaws.
Xu Zhiqiong leaned down and carefully slipped in through the crack in the door. Although the main hall of the secret pavilion was pitch dark, rats had excellent night vision.
But Xu Zhiqiong looked for a long time and didn't see anyone.
The footsteps are still there, but where have all the people gone?
While looking around, he suddenly saw a figure over an inch tall passing by. Xu Zhiqiong took a closer look and saw that it turned out to be a paper figure.
The paper figure was groping around under the vase, and there was one on top of the vase.
There are six of them on the bookshelf, and they are being searched layer by layer.
There were five or six people crawling on the wall, groping for cracks in the wall.
No wonder the footsteps are so light. How big can a piece of paper move?
Who controls so many paper figures in the Night Exploration Pavilion?
This is obviously Onmyoji.
If Xu Zhiqiong himself were here, he should be able to find the source of the spell.
But having said that, if I were here, the other party would either run away or have a fight with Xu Zhiqiong.
A paper figure got under the couch and was caught in the mousetrap.
Xu Zhiqiong almost laughed out loud, which could be regarded as stepping on the thunder for him.
Two more paper figures got under the desk. Xu Zhiqiong couldn't laugh this time.
There is a pedal in the lower room of the desk. Chen Shuncai said that stepping on the pedal five times in a row will open a hidden compartment.
There is something Xu Zhiqiong wants in this secret room. Could it be that these paper figures got there first?
As a mouse, it is not difficult to deal with these paper figures, but the key problem is that Xu Zhiqiong does not know who is controlling these paper figures behind the scenes, and taking action rashly will expose his ability to possess rats to others.
A paper man searched under the desk for a long time. It seemed that he had found something. He got into the floor and came out again after a while.
It found the hidden grid.
All the paper men immediately stopped searching, lined up in the hall, and got out of the secret chamber through the crack in the door. Only one paper man was left lying on the mouse trap.
Xu Zhiqiong quietly slipped outside the yard and watched the paper man quickly walk away.
The person who controls them is in the palace, and that person may appear at any time and steal the things in the secret room!
Without further ado, Xu Zhiqiong must bring me here as soon as possible.
He kept digging on the ground, and in the blink of an eye he left a peach blossom-shaped mark. With the help of this mark, Xu Zhiqiong could use the Yin and Yang magic circle to send himself to the secret pavilion.
Now the mouse has only one task left, to run back to the East Palace as fast as possible to ensure that Xu Zhiqiong's true self can reach the Secret Pavilion before the opponent.
Before he could run out of the yard, Xu Zhiqiong heard footsteps.
Is that person coming?
So fast!
"Zhi Qiong, Zhi Qiong!"
How does he still know my name?
How did he know this mouse was me!
Xu Zhiqiong was shocked, and his vision suddenly went dark.
Why is it dark?
Ambushed?
Xu Zhiqiong struggled to open his eyes and saw a strange scene.
He first saw the prince, and then saw the courtyard of the secret pavilion.
The prince has come to the Secret Pavilion?
No, the two lines of sight are no longer in the same space.
Xu Zhiqiong rubbed his eyes, and the two scenes gradually separated.
The left eye is the prince, the prince in the wing.
The right eye is the courtyard of the Secret Pavilion.
There is a dark line in the middle.
What's going on?
The prince entered the wing where Xu Zhiqiong lived and woke up Xu Zhiqiong from his deep sleep.
This is not the prince's fault, the prince is really worried about Xu Zhiqiong.
But the main question is, why was Xu Zhiqiong woken up?
Xu Zhiqiong, who was lying in the side room, slowly sat up.
Yes, he sat up.
When possessed by a mouse, his true form is unconscious and unable to move.
But now his consciousness has returned and he can move.
Xu Zhiqiong raised his left hand and looked at it, making sure that he could move it.
At the same time, the mouse in the courtyard of the Secret Pavilion also sat on the ground and raised its left front paw.
The prince held Xu Zhiqiong's hand and asked with concern: "Are you feeling better? I couldn't sleep and I was thinking about you all the time."
"Okay, better." Xu Zhiqiong can still speak!
His tone was a little tight and his expression was a little stiff.
When the prince saw that Xu Zhiqiong was not in good condition, he was so anxious that he was sweating: "How about we go find Taifu now?"
"Looking for a fortune teller? Why are you looking for him? He's crazy. I, I'm really much better now. I just feel sleepy." Xu Zhiqiong's thoughts were messy, and the situation in the Secret Pavilion was very urgent. He just wanted to tell him now. The prince left as soon as possible.
Lu Yunxi hurriedly said: "Your Highness, since Xu Qianhu feels tired, let him rest early. I will invite Taifu here early tomorrow morning."
The prince said angrily: "I asked you to send someone to invite me a long time ago, why do you have to wait until tomorrow morning?"
"Old slave sent for help. The fortune teller has gone to sleep. Please don't move!"
"I'll invite him myself!"
Xu Zhiqiong grabbed the prince and said, "Your Highness, please let me take a nap and then sleep for a while. Let's go to the Yin and Yang Division again when it gets dark."
Lu Yunxi pulled the prince beside him and said: "Your Highness, just listen to Xu Qianhu and we will do the district office tomorrow!"
After trying his best to persuade the prince to leave, Xu Zhiqiong kept rubbing his eyes.
No matter how much I rubbed it, it was useless. There were still two eyes, one on me and one on the mouse.
Is this...a soul split?
Is this the soul-splitting technique that Master calls?
At first he said I couldn't learn it, but now I suddenly can.
What is the reason?
Is it because you sucked that monster too hard?
Is it because the true god’s qi machine has triggered his potential?
Now that the soul has been separated, how can I get it back?
Xu Zhiqiong mobilized the power of imagery to recall the soul of the mouse. The right half of his face was completely distorted, but it didn't help.
Using the magic circle, going to the secret pavilion and meeting the mouse, Xu Zhiqiong will have a way to get his soul back.
He took out the mercury and two peach petals, drew a magic circle on the ground, and sprinkled the mercury.
No response, the magic circle is not working!
Is it because of the restrictions on onmyoji in the palace?
No, it's not that it's restricted, it's that the magic circle is not activated at all.
Xu Zhiqiong's drawing of the magic circle was not accurate. He only had vision from one eye and had problems with his sense of distance.
Ruler, and ruler.
Xu Zhiqiong took out a ruler and drew the magic circle again. This time the magic circle took effect.
Xu Zhiqiong walked to the magic circle, and the peach petals turned into peach blossom rain, leading him to the secret pavilion.
The line of sight is somewhat unified. Although the viewing angles are different, one is higher and the other is lower, at least the environment is the same.
The mouse stood in front of Xu Zhiqiong, with his back to Xu Zhiqiong.
Xu Zhiqiong walked forward, and so did the mouse.
The soul is separated, but the consciousness cannot be separated. Whatever Xu Zhiqiong does, the mouse will do it.
Fortunately, Xu Zhiqiong's stride was longer than that of the mouse, and he managed to get in front of the mouse. After looking at each other twice, the mouse was free and ran out of the yard.
Xu Zhiqiong rubbed his eyebrows and his vision finally returned to normal.
My scalp throbbed, and the feeling of being separated for the first time was very bad.
Xu Zhiqiong recovered quickly and cautiously walked towards the secret pavilion. Just as he was about to open the door and go in, he suddenly remembered something.
There was also a paper figure under the couch, caught in the mousetrap.
Unable to let the paper man see him, Xu Zhiqiong used the eighth-grade skill to become invisible and sneaked into the secret pavilion. He leaned over and saw that the mousetrap was broken and the paper man stood quietly under the couch.
Xu Zhiqiong did not take action rashly, but watched quietly beside the couch.
But I saw the paper man standing for a moment, and suddenly it gradually grew in size, until it was more than seven feet tall.
The figure of the taller paper man gradually swelled, turning from a piece of paper into a paper puppet.
The surface of the puppet dissolved and changed again, turning into a human being.
What a brilliant technique!
This man had his face covered, but Xu Zhiqiong recognized his figure at a glance because it was so familiar.
In the past, the Green Lantern Man who was in charge of the Deng Yamen was now the Xiao Situ of the Nufu Sect—Xiao Songting.
Xiao Songting quietly came under the desk and lightly touched the floor.
He knew there was a secret compartment underneath, but he didn't know how to open it.
He wanted to try using onmyoji to lift up a piece of the floor, but the hidden grid had restrictions on onmyoji, so he tried twice without success.
At this moment, a mandarin duck blade was quietly pressed against his neck.
