This cold palace is not simply dilapidated. The palace seems to have been burned by fire, with ruined walls and blackened beams.
The small courtyard outside the palace is even more overgrown with weeds. When you walk through the courtyard and step into the main hall, you will see the burned and collapsed palace door at your feet. When you step on it, the palace door shakes with a thud, causing dust to fly.
No matter from the dilapidated courtyard or the main hall, it doesn't look like anyone is living here.
If someone were hiding here, at least there wouldn't be so much dust here. This dust is accumulated over time due to lack of human presence. Judging from the traces of these dust, no one has been here in a short period of time.
I felt strange and asked the maid, "Sister maid, what are we doing here? Is the king here?"
The maid looked serious and looked around while continuing to walk into the palace, "This palace is the place where the king retreats and practices. After the imperial master came, the king attached great importance to the imperial master and built a palace for the imperial master in this hall.
Alchemy furnace.
In my memory, this palace is very grand, luxurious and solid. When was it destroyed? I am the king's personal maid, and I guard the palace day and night. How could I not even know when this place was on fire?
do not remember!"
The more she thought about it, the more anxious the maid became.
Now she is more and more convinced that Gu insect is not a good thing.
"There is something wrong with the Imperial Master. After eating the Gu, my memory is often blurred. During the time when my memory was unclear, I must have been controlled by the Gu and completely lost my self-awareness." The maid said anxiously, "I
You won’t be manipulated into doing bad things, right? Has something happened to the king? Did I fail to protect the king?”
Following the maid through the burned-out front hall, I saw an alchemy furnace in the small atrium that was as tall as a person, made of gold, and inlaid with various colored orbs.
It is so luxurious. This alchemy furnace is probably the one that the maid just said was awarded to the imperial master by the old King of Weishan.
There is still a fire burning in the alchemy furnace, the furnace is boiling hot, and although the small courtyard is still messy, it is much cleaner. This shows that there are indeed people living here.
I feel a little relieved, at least it means I'm not looking in the wrong place.
After passing the atrium, there is a row of bungalows behind, which are simply decorated and located in the corner of the palace. They are the rooms where people live under the palace.
The maid flew over and raised her hand to push open a door.
The wooden door opened with a creak, and instantly, a damp smell mixed with the smell of putrid corpses rushed in from inside the house.
I grabbed the maid's shoulder and quickly led the maid back, away from the gas.
I covered my mouth and nose, "This is corpse poison, don't breathe it into your body."
To be precise, it is corpse poison and also a poisonous insect. Inhaling the poison into the body and entering the body is equivalent to being poisoned.
It seems that this national master is not only a master of cultivating gu, but also an expert in corpse refining.
Hearing this, the maid hurriedly covered her mouth and nose. She stamped her feet anxiously, "Is the king in the room? I want to save the king!"
She kept saying to save him, but she didn't dare to step forward easily.
I saw her intention and didn't care much. I said to her, "Wait here while I go take a look."
I have two little balls to protect my body, and these things can't hurt me at all.
I tapped my toes on the ground, jumped lightly, and flew to the door of the room.
The little girl helped me open a barrier to block the corpse poison. I stood in front of the door and looked into the room.
The room is like a warehouse, filled with shelves, but these shelves are not filled with goods, but with nests of milky white snake eggs. There are three shelves in total, with three nests placed on each floor.
Snake eggs, there are more than a dozen snake eggs in a nest.
A rough calculation shows that there are more than a hundred snake eggs on one shelf. There are more than a dozen shelves in the room, which means there are thousands of snake eggs.
These snake eggs are all Gu worms. One Gu worm can control a person, which is equivalent to helping him cultivate thousands of puppets in this one room!
Thinking of this, I quickly ran to the door of another room and kicked the door open.
Like the previous room, this room is also full of shelves and snake eggs.
I kicked open several doors in succession, and all the rooms were decorated the same.
There are more than a dozen rooms here, which means there is a puppet army of tens of thousands of people!
Moreover, the entire palace, and perhaps other palaces, also have such rooms for raising Gu. I dare not even think about it. This is really a terrifying number!
The people controlled by the Gu are all immortals. They are controlled, completely unconscious, bloodthirsty and cruel, not afraid of injury and death, and have a fighting spirit. To cultivate such a large army, the Gu controller may have serious plans.
Rebellion will cause another war in heaven!
"Have you found the king?" the maid asked me, covering her mouth and nose.
I have kicked open the door to the room. There are only Gu insects here, not the King.
I shook my head at the maid, "There is no one here. Think about it again, is there any other place where the king can practice?"
As I spoke, I jumped up to the alchemy furnace, raised my foot, and kicked over the alchemy furnace.
The alchemy furnace fell to the ground with a rumble, the lid was thrown open, and some burning coals fell out of the alchemy furnace.
I walked to the charcoal fire, wrapped a piece of charcoal with tripterygium vine, and threw it into the room where the gu was raised.
The maid was startled, "What are you doing! Arson in the palace should be punished with death."
"The house is full of poisonous insects. It will be troublesome when they hatch out," I said. "Sister maid, we are now destroying the master's plan to harm people. We are great heroes. If the king knows about it, he will only praise us.
, will not punish us."
The maid looked at me doubtfully, "Really? Even if we burn the palace, we won't be punished?"
After I said no for a few times, the maid believed me. Not only did she stop stopping me, she even took the initiative to set fire to the house.
Seeing this scene, everyone was surprised, "This maid is too easy to be brainwashed. The Imperial Master has to use Gu to control such an easy-to-control person. It can be seen that the Imperial Master is not very smart and will not be like
Sister Lin Xi is just as scheming."
I,"……"
Are you complimenting me? Why does it sound so awkward to me?
At this time, Yiyi seemed to suddenly discover something. She exclaimed, "Wow! Sister Lin Xi, there is a treasure here!"
The ball of wool floated above the charcoal fire. She stretched out two white threads, turned over the charcoal, and took out a vermilion elixir from the charcoal.
The color of the elixir is similar to that of charcoal, and since it was covered with charcoal just now, I didn't notice it.
"Is this the elixir that the Imperial Master is refining?" the maid ran back, staring at the elixir and asked curiously.
Yiyi ignored the maid and only said to me excitedly, "Sister Lin Xi, I discovered this pill. Can you give it to me?"
"What kind of elixir is this?" I asked Yiyi.
It must be a good thing, otherwise Yiyi would not be so excited to ask for it from me.
"It's just a pill to improve your cultivation. Sister Lin Xi, if you don't need it, give it to me..."
Before Yi Yi finished speaking, a red light flashed, and the elixir entangled in Yi Yi disappeared.
"My medicine!" shouted one by one, and hurriedly flew upwards after them.
I also raised my head and looked over.
Behind us, a huge golden python appeared unexpectedly.
A man wearing a golden robe, with a Eight Diagrams painting on his chest, a thin figure, a boyish face, and a bit of an immortal spirit stood on the head of the giant python.
Seeing the man, the maid shouted, "He is the Imperial Master! Imperial Master, I ask you, where did you hide our King! If you dare to hurt the King, I will never spare you!"
