The princess had fallen out of favor long before Qiu Bu could leave home. Although the place she was assigned to was not called a cold palace, it was an out-and-out remote area, no different from a cold palace.
The further we go, the sparser the human footprints become, and the weeds on the roadside become taller and denser.
"The mother-in-law's bedroom is right in front."
Qiu couldn't help but slow down his pace a bit, often feeling more timid about being close to home.
Although he had already found out the whereabouts of his mother and concubine through his loyal retainers, he was still uneasy in his heart and had already thought about countless possibilities.
What if the bloody ghost attacks in advance and harms the mother and concubine?
What if the enemy sets a trap and uses the mother-in-law to lure them into taking the bait?
just in case……
There are so many possibilities, and the more you think about it, the worse it gets.
"Senior Brother Qiu, time is pressing."
Qiu Bu Naozi was a little confused, and after the kind reminder from his fellow disciples, he took another step forward.
There are scattered fallen leaves outside the palace, and the flowers and trees may not have been taken care of for a long time, and the horizontal branches are growing.
Originally, there should be windows with lights on in the small courtyards on both sides of the palace, for the servants to serve at night.
However, only one dim window was still lit, and the figure falling into the window was sleepy.
Seeing this clear scene, I knew without asking that Qiu Bu's concubine had fallen out of favor for a long time, and her servants didn't care.
"Fortunately, the mother-in-law is not pampered, otherwise she would not be able to escape the poisonous hands of the bloody ghost."
On the contrary, Qiu Bu was glad that his mother-in-law was not taken seriously and was not worthy of taking action. She was relegated to a place that was close to the cold palace. Instead, she was a blessing in disguise and was able to live alone.
"Senior brother, there is nothing wrong around here."
The two Sanqing Palace disciples checked around the palace and found that there were no ghosts hiding.
It is indeed a cold palace, so deserted that even ghosts don't bother to haunt it.
Qiu Bu couldn't get excited, so he walked up the steps and knocked lightly on the wooden door.
"Mother concubine!"
The scene of mother and son getting together is very touching. Thirty years later, the princess has turned gray-haired and looks the same as before.
For a moment, Wang Fu also sighed, thinking that decades later, it would be the same scene when his good family members met in detail.
Qiu Bu couldn't take the time to explain the situation to the princess and said that she would take him away.
At this time, it can be seen that the princess has a clear sense of justice. She did not back down and directly chose to leave with her son.
"My little sister, my son will also send someone to pick him up. Don't worry, mother and concubine."
The princess glanced at the cold palace, without any nostalgia in her eyes, "Let's go!"
Entering the palace to pick up someone, the task is almost half completed, the only thing left is to take the person out of the palace.
However, it is easier to go up the mountain than to go down the mountain. Walking a hundred miles is half a mile, and the real difficulty starts from now.
"Empress, where are you going?"
The princess was surprised, "It's the little eunuch who keeps watch at night."
The only window with light on was broken by a huge force, and the fragments were sprayed out. A black shadow shot out and stopped in front of everyone.
It's not a ghost, it's a human being, and it's a rare martial arts master.
Qiu Bu frowned and stepped forward to knock the young eunuch unconscious, but unexpectedly he let out a high-pitched scream.
"The monsters are invading, the gods are coming."
Oops, even though he is a stranger, he is actually a fanatical believer who is bewitched by ghosts and worships ghosts and gods.
If Qiu couldn't regret it so much, he shouldn't have been left alive. Even the living people in the capital palace couldn't believe it. It had already been transformed into a ghost by ghosts.
"Creak!"
The disciple of Sanqing Palace next to him raised his hand, and the Taixu Seal hit him, crushing all the bones of the young eunuch and causing him to fall to the ground and die.
However, the direct consequence was that a vicious ghost appeared.
"Whoa whoa whoa!"
The sound of a baby crying could be heard late at night, and the flowers, trees, and grass in the cold palace were shaking like frightened little beasts. The surrounding temperature was getting colder and colder.
The evil ghost has already arrived, and it has already taken over people before it even shows up, creating an ethereal and terrifying atmosphere.
Wang Fu felt his shoulder was itchy and couldn't help but stretched out his hand to fiddle with it, when he suddenly touched a cold little hand.
Oops!
Wang Fu didn't move. The light from his heart lamp rose and fell on his shoulders, and his cold hands suddenly retracted.
Looking at Qiu Bu, he was already surrounded by seven or eight weird dolls, some holding their legs, some lying on their heads, and some hanging upside down on their arms and swinging back and forth.
A soft laugh sounded like silver bells, and the dolls laughed happily, but the night sky around them suddenly became quiet, and there was no other noise.
"It's infanticide."
The bones of babies who die due to abortion will accumulate and breed evil spirits, and over time, they will give birth to ghost babies.
Babies are neither good nor evil, and infant ghosts die before they are born, which is pure evil.
However, any infant ghost's level of resentment and terror far exceeds that of other similar creatures.
The little dolls in front of me are not the body of the infant ghost, but part of the infant ghost's body, similar to fingers and toes.
"rise."
The other two Sanqing Temple disciples were also besieged by several ghost dolls, with cold little hands constantly reaching into their clothes, trying to get the cold air into their bodies.
Two Taixu seals rose up and turned into balls of light, rotating around them. Under the bright light, the ghost doll screamed and disappeared.
"No, the evil ghosts guarding the palace have been alerted. We must leave."
The ghost doll in front of me is just an appetizer. The real baby ghost has not appeared yet. If the baby ghost of the fierce ghost level is placed in Gushan, it will definitely get the title of Yaksha.
It should be noted that among the great yakshas in Gushan, there is a baby ghost named Tongzhen yaksha.
"Wang Fu, come here quickly and protect my mother and concubine."
Qiu Bu made this arrangement and fully considered the manpower allocation.
According to his understanding, among the four, Wang Fu is the 'weakest' and should give full play to his strongest supporting role.
Therefore, Wang Fu and Wang Fei did their part and were under the protection of three people.
Well!
Wang Fu cupped his hands towards the princess and said, "Auntie."
The princess was not dissatisfied with his title, but felt more cordial, "What a young man."
Qiu Bu's sleeves sprayed out a steady stream of Xianjusheng smoke, which turned into a black cloud in the blink of an eye, and held the five people on it.
"Walk!"
The Sanqing Palace also has the spell of "Riding the Wind and the Clouds", and when combined with the Immortal Horse Shengyan, it is also as fast as lightning.
In the blink of an eye, the group of people left a trail of afterimages and disappeared without a trace from the depths of the cold palace.
"Hee hee hee."
On the ground of the cold palace, hundreds of ghost dolls rose up. They played with each other and chased around the little eunuch's body.
In the blink of an eye, the little eunuch's body shriveled up, and the flesh and blood wrapped in clothes disappeared, leaving only white bones with bloodshot flesh and tendons.
The corner space of the cold palace, including the glazed tiles on the roof, is filled with the laughter of ghost dolls, innocent, romantic and carefree.
The flowers and trees in the courtyard were swaying, and the leaves were turning in the wind. If you look closely, you will see that there is a baby with a purple body curled up in each leaf. Its eyes are closed tightly, as if it is asleep.
The sweet and slippery liquid seeped out from the floor and walls, dripping and flooding this cold palace.
Suddenly a strong wind blew by, and all the strange things in Leng Palace disappeared, leaving only the empty ground.
In the night sky, there was a harsh cry, and the sound was like a cone, piercing the direction in which the group of people left.
