As a group of four people, or to be precise three people and one ghost, approached the mass grave, the surrounding temperature became lower and lower.
There was a faint rancid smell in the air.
The woman's cry became increasingly clear.
"Who is it, come out!" Tang Fengyi, who was leading the way, shouted "bravely" after arriving at the mass grave.
The crying stopped suddenly.
Tang Fengyi said with a sad face: "Master Bai Wenzi, the mass grave is here, but I really don't dare to get close."
Bai Xiaowen squinted his eyes. He could feel that there was a subtle difference between the psychic particles near the mass graves and the fluctuations of psychic particles around Jiangdu City.
The mass grave is like a piece of ice that will never melt. When the surrounding cold air flows through the mass grave area, it is sucked in a trace of yin energy. The result is that the mass grave itself becomes more and more icy.
It was bitingly cold, and the surrounding air currents were getting more and more chilling.
"Master Tang, please wait a moment while Pindao calls out the puppet Yin soldiers to test him out."
Bai Xiaowen is a poor man, and he is becoming more and more skilled in the disguise of a magician.
He raised his hand to summon the shadow assassin and threw himself into the depths of the mass grave. Bai Xiaowen closed his eyes and used the shadow assassin's vision to observe the surroundings of the mass grave.
Li Shuyi and Cecilia stood on one side and protected Bai Xiaowen in a tacit understanding.
…
The shadow assassin remained in a latent state, moving slowly step by step.
There were hungry people everywhere around him. Although he couldn't smell it, Bai Xiaowen could probably guess that there must be a rotten smell here. Fortunately, the mass grave area was cold and cold, and the icy temperature was like a natural refrigerator, so there were no hungry people here.
further decay.
There are a few faint white firelights dancing in front, which are the phosphorus fire on the white bones.
Bai Xiaowen controlled the shadow assassin and walked towards the phosphorus fire.
Suddenly, a burst of cold mental power swept through the shadow assassin's body and directly caught the shadow assassin from the latent state.
Bai Xiaowen was shocked. The Shadow Assassin took out both daggers and got ready for battle.
However, then a female voice came, anxious and urgent:
"You...how can you come in? Who are you?"
In the shadow assassin's field of vision, he can see two female ghosts dressed in plain clothes and dressed as palace ladies at the will-o'-the-wisp in front of him. The reason why they can tell they are ghosts at a glance is because they are floating above the will-o'-the-wisp without any disguise.
It seems light and weightless.
When Bai Xiaowen was mentally linked to the Shadow Assassin, in addition to sharing his vision, he also inherited the Shadow Assassin's hearing. He only heard another ghost palace lady say:
"It seems that she is not a bandit from Jiangdu City. Take her to the empress and ask the empress to judge her."
The ghost palace maid raised her hand, and a slender chain of gray light shot out.
Bai Xiaowen was unable to dodge, and was immediately entangled by the ghost palace maid's chains, falling into a state of confinement, and then a mental confrontation judgment.
If Bai Xiaowen himself were here, there would be no problem with his mental judgment, but now he is only in a spiritual link state, and he can only use the poor spirit of the shadow assassin to fight against the spirit of the ghost palace maid! The shadow assassin is not good at spirit, so he failed directly.
Bai Xiaowen felt the shadow assassin's body light up, and then he was dragged away by the ghost palace maid with a slender gray chain like a sack.
"That's good. We just take this opportunity to see who the real owner of the mass grave is. Looking at this situation, it seems that the mass grave and Jiangdu City are not the same group?"
The mass grave was not big, and it didn't take long for Bai Xiaowen to be taken to the destination.
"Kneel down." The ghost palace maid who cast the gray light chain raised her hand, and the shadow assassin was thrown forward like a ball.
"Li'er, Shu'er, what have you done?" A gentle and pleasant female voice sounded.
"For the Queen, I heard someone outside, so I went out with Sister Shu'er. I didn't find the Jiangdu thieves, but I caught a stranger and came back. I don't know what the origin of this ghost was, but he was able to come in."
The shadow assassin controlled by Bai Xiaowen immediately looked up at the so-called empress.
The empress was wearing a plain dress, with her back to Bai Xiaowen, and she was kneeling in front of a lonely tomb. There were no words or monuments in front of the tomb, only a piece of white silk hanging, swaying in the wind like a soul-calling flag.
"This empress must also be a ghost. Could it be Empress Xiao, the wife of Emperor Sui Yang?" Bai Xiaowen searched for information in his mind, and the information he wrote down before coming in came in handy.
Just listen to the queen say: "Li'er, it's useless for you to catch this kid. On the contrary, it exposed our location. This foreign kid is just the eyes and ears of a profound person."
"Ah? This slave is guilty, please forgive me," the ghost palace maid Li'er knelt down quickly, and then said with a hint of anger, "It seems that the Jiangdu thieves also invited Taoist priests to deal with the queen. They are really evil. The slave immediately put this to death
He beat a little devil to death and left her in disbelief."
"stop."
The queen in plain skirt stood up and turned around.
Bai Xiaowen took the opportunity to watch. The queen did not wear makeup, but her face was beautiful and charming. Perhaps because she was a ghost, her skin was as white as frost and snow, which added a bit of seductiveness.
The Queen and the Shadow Assassin looked at each other. Those sad eyes seemed to penetrate the Shadow Assassin's eyes, and they looked at Bai Xiaowen who was miles away.
"At this time of great changes, your Excellency can still enter the boundaries of Jiangdu City from outside, which shows that the Taoist practice is profound. The widow is here to salute the Taoist Master. May the Taoist Master be blessed."
There are so many flaws in one sentence that Bai Xiaowen doesn't even know where to start.
Widow? You are already dead.
Besides, shouldn't the queen call herself this palace? Or should she call herself the Aijia? Bai Xiaowen is not sure either.
However, the complaints can be put aside. Bai Xiaowen's real focus is, how did the Queen know that he was an outsider? Wasn't he a Taoist priest who lived in seclusion in Jiangdu? It seemed that he concluded that Bai Xiaowen came from outside the country and entered isolation.
From Jiangdu City.
It would be false to say that the Empress was familiar with Jiangdu City during her lifetime. The Empress should have lived in a deep palace and could not see outsiders at all. What's more, this is Jiangdu, which was just a place where Yang Guang visited before his death, not the capital.
Seeing the empress bowing condescendingly, Bai Xiaowen didn't care so much and manipulated the shadow assassin to return a nondescript bow.
The two ghost palace maids seemed a little dissatisfied, but they all followed the rules. Before the queen showed her dissatisfaction, they did not dare to interrupt and reprimand Bai Xiaowen for being disrespectful to the queen.
Seeing that Bai Xiaowen returned the gift and there was a possibility of communication, the queen's face was happy: "The Taoist priest is indeed a man of noble morals... Please pay attention to the Taoist priest and don't be deceived by the monsters in Jiangdu City! Although the widow has become a ghost,
Things happen for a reason. If the Taoist Master is not bothered, the widow is willing to tell the Taoist Master the whole story of what happened here, and he can decide by himself what the Taoist Master will do next."
