one step closer to the end

"Your Highness!"

Jin Wuming walked slowly to the corner of the courtyard of the Shang bedroom, and said in a deep voice: "Do you know what case Zhao Yunxuan is investigating? Someone is plotting against the harem, and the emperor is really murderous. The only one who can save you now is Qianye Xuan , This is all I have said, Your Highness, please do it yourself!"

"Thank you Commander, I will remember this favor..."

Princess Yaoyue quickly ran away from the wall, but at this time Zhao Guanren did not go to the emperor, nor did he go to expose the queen's background. He came alone outside a courtyard. There was a three-story loft in the courtyard. A big golden character - Qi Refining Pavilion!

"What is this place……"

Zhao Guanren stood outside the courtyard gate suspiciously, and black air kept coming out of the hall, and the eunuch guarding the gate fell down in fright, knelt on the ground and said in a trembling voice: "Qi Refining Pavilion! Outsiders are not allowed to enter this practice!"

"Get up! Don't go out to seek death..."

Zhao Guanren walked straight towards the Qi Refining Pavilion, and the four eunuchs didn't dare to stop him, but as long as he stopped his soul-chasing eyes, he couldn't see the black air, which meant there was something abnormal in it, but the soul-chasing eyes didn't find it in the hall anything.

"Fuck! Is the emperor refining Qi or ghosts..."

Zhao Guanren's hairs stood on end when he stepped into the gate, and the back of his neck was blowing cold air. The whole hall seemed to be on fire, and thick black air was suspended on the roof.

"Where is the ghostly air coming out of this..."

Zhao Guanren looked around suspiciously. This place is the emperor's training ground. The entire floor is covered with cushions. There are various weapons for training on both sides, and a red straight knife is placed on the cabinet in the middle. I'm afraid It is the legendary first-grade heavenly artifact.

"Bang~"

Zhao Guanren stepped forward and pulled out the red straight knife, a smear of blood shot out from the scabbard instantly, the entire blade turned dark red, and two seal characters were engraved on the top of the handle - Hong Luan!But a familiar feeling made him terrified.

"Isn't this the craftsmanship of the Chiyue Yaodao? How did it appear here..."

Zhao Guanren raised the saber subconsciously, but the Hongluan saber didn't respond at all. He tried to use his profound energy to activate it, but it didn't work, so he called out the long green and white saber, held it in his hand, and asked, "Baibai! Is this Hongluan saber as good as it is?" Are Chi Yue's craftsmanship the same?"

"Husband! This knife does not have a knife soul, it is just a rough blank..."

Bai Ming said in the long knife: "When you get the Chiyue Butcher Knife, thousands of black souls have already condensed in the blade, and they will be activated as long as you supply blood. If you want this Red Luan to take shape, you have to open a big blood sacrifice Formation, condense the black soul into it!"

"Forget it! I don't do that kind of evil stuff..."

Zhao Guanren put the Red Luan Saber back casually, kissed the Qingbai Long Saber, and asked with a smile, "Are you all lonely in my stomach? Will you chat with each other?"

"We are also practicing, why are we lonely..."

Qingming smiled and said: "How did you think we came here when we were hundreds of years old? Without fighting, we are basically practicing in seclusion. After 100 years of seclusion and ten years of activities, only you humans live in a hurry. These days are nothing for us. It's a blink of an eye!"

Bai Ming suddenly said: "Husband! You have a kid on your head!"

"Little devil?"

Zhao Guanren looked back subconsciously, and suddenly found a bloody face, hanging upside down in the air and staring at him fiercely, with long disheveled hair hanging down the back of his neck, sweeping back and forth coolly.

"Fuck!"

Zhao Guanren jumped back in fright, unsteady and fell on his back, Qingming smiled and said: "Husband! Why have you become so timid? This little ghost is not even a gray soul. You stand and let her Scratch, she can't hurt you!"

"Of course I'm afraid if I'm not prepared, I'm scared to death..."

Zhao Guanren got up and kept patting his chest, and the blood-faced female ghost also rushed over to scratch him. Her claws kept passing through him like air. Although he didn't do any damage, he always felt that something was wrong.

"Why is there a strange feeling..."

Zhao Guanren slapped the female ghost and sent her flying. The female ghost jumped up to the attic with a "whoosh" and squatted on the stairs staring at him fiercely.

"The little devil will steal your energy and make you tired and weak..."

Bai Ming said in a deep voice: "There is something wrong with this place. The dead air has covered your soul-seeking eyes. Even we can't detect the situation upstairs, and it doesn't matter if there are a few little ghosts. If there are more, you can stay there every day." People here will die prematurely!"

"Go up and see!"

Zhao Guanren quickly ran upstairs with a knife in his hand, and the little ghost hid again with a whoosh, but the dead air upstairs was even stronger, and he also gasped. There were more than a dozen people in the four rooms on the second floor. It's just a dead ghost, crawling everywhere like a cockroach.

"Ah! So many mastiff boys..."

Qingming smiled and said: "This is a trick of the Dongying people. Xuanye's subordinates are best at this. These mastiff boys are timid and can hide. They usually don't come out during the day, and they will only secretly devour the owner's energy in the middle of the night. They just slipped away." Those who come down are fat!"

"Not only the mastiff boy, but also two twin killing souls..."

Bai Ming said: "Did you see the twins in the tea room? The one who attacked you in the latrine last time was a soul-killer. Although this kind of soul-killer is very low-level, and its power can only be used once, as long as they are accidentally scratched, the venom will kill you." It will quickly enter the body, and the twin killing souls are even more powerful!"

"These twins are concubines in the palace, and their grades are not low..."

Zhao Guanren walked slowly to the door of the tea room. Two concubines in red robes stood side by side, staring at him with disheveled hair. Their faces were covered with criss-crossing black veins, and their eyeballs were also blood-red. They were only afraid of the green and white sword. come out.

"Husband!"

Bai Ming said again: "People must have died here, the power of twin soul killing has been exhausted, and there is 100% trickery under the floor, something has attracted these mastiff boys!"

"Master Zhao! Where are you, come out quickly..."

Eunuch Tian’s voice suddenly sounded from downstairs, Zhao Guanren immediately put away his knife and went down, seeing Jin Wuming coming with his guards, he said coldly: "Master Zhao! The queen has been locked in the cold palace, but the emperor I want you to show evidence of her rebellion!"

"Go and ask the emperor to come here, I will show him the evidence..."

Zhao Guanren walked to a tea table and sat down, took out a charcoal pencil and a record book from his sleeve pocket, and lay down on the table to draw a sketch. Jin Wuming frowned and said nothing, leaving the guard behind and went alone Please the emperor.

"Master Zhao! What are you painting..."

Eunuch Tian came over and poured him a cup of tea. Zhao Guanren was silent as he was painting, but as the portrait of a woman in palace costume gradually appeared, Eunuch Tian, ​​who had just drank two sips of tea, was suddenly startled. shattered on the ground.

"Eunuch! You should recognize them..."

Zhao Guanren raised his head and smiled slightly, but Eunuch Tian trembled suddenly as if he had been electrocuted. He pointed at the portrait and stammered in horror, "My lord! Where have you seen them, no! You can't have seen them, they are already dead Many years!"

Chapter 0484

"It deserves..."

Emperor Shun Yao was considered a majestic and majestic emperor, but at this time his hands were as good as Parkinson's, shaking out the water in the tea bowl, looking at the portrait of the soul-killer in front of him, his face was paler than toilet paper It's much uglier.

"Boom~"

Eunuch Tian closed the door of the Qi Refining Pavilion, and ran back to the tea table tremblingly. Emperor Shun Yao couldn't even drink the tea, looked at Zhao Guanren who was opposite, and stammered: "This, these two sisters are here Well, could it be that they have been haunted all this time?"

"Your Majesty! You smoke a cigarette to calm yourself first, and get mentally prepared..."

Zhao Guanren handed him a cigarette, stood up and helped him light the cigarette himself. Emperor Shunyao, who has always loved health preservation, never smoked, but at this moment he took a deep breath, coughed a few times, and took two more breaths. calmed down.

"The twins are upstairs in the tea room, dressed in red palace attire, with golden flower hairpins on their heads..."

Zhao Guanren lightly pointed to the upstairs, and Eunuch Tian collapsed on the ground with a "plop". Emperor Shun Yao's expression changed drastically, and he looked at the stairs in horror and said: "Could it be that they are staring at me every day? They have said why?" Are you haunting me?"

"Your Majesty! Ghosts can't speak..."

Zhao Guanren waved his hands and said, "However, there are far more than the two of them upstairs. There are three or four little ghosts in each room. They are mastiff boys created by magic. They won't kill you, but they will continue to consume your energy." energy until you grow old and die prematurely!"

"Damn it! I know..."

Emperor Shun Yao slammed the table and said angrily: "These years, my cultivation base has not advanced but retreated. After this practice, I am always exhausted. I can't recover for several days. I am restless and difficult to sleep. It really is Someone is harming me with sorcery, who is it?"

"I don't know yet..."

Zhao Guanren stood up and said, "You don't have to tell me the story of the twins. It won't do me any good if you lose your head. You can go up with me and have a look. The tricks should be under the floor of the attic, but don't worry, I'll take them up when I go up." Pack it up!"

"Okay! Clean it up, clean it up..."

Emperor Shun Yao plucked up the courage to go upstairs with him, and Eunuch Tian followed behind with a pale face. Naturally, they couldn't see the mastiff boy in the room, but Emperor Shun Yao grabbed Eunuch Tian and blocked him in front of him. .

"These seem to be eunuchs and court ladies, but they don't have any clothes on..."

Zhao Guanren walked into the study room and launched an attack. Clouds of human-shaped white smoke came out of nowhere, and the two people outside the door trembled in fright. It seemed that no matter how awesome the emperor was, he was also afraid of ghosts, especially since both of them were full of guilt, and their bodies were full of blood. The cold sweat never stopped.

"You are so courageous, you actually came out again..."

Zhao Guanren swept the little ghosts in two rooms, and ran into the blood-faced female ghost again when he went out, but this time he was not polite, and punched her into fly ash, then took out the charcoal pencil in his sleeve pocket, Draw a portrait on the white wall with memory.

"Two! Have you ever seen this woman? She is the fiercest one, with a scar on her left chest..."

Zhao Guanren outlined the facial features of the blood-faced female ghost. Unexpectedly, Eunuch Tian looked blank, but Emperor Shun Yao exclaimed: "Cheng, concubine Cheng! Concubine Cheng has a burn scar on her left chest. She committed suicide by jumping off a building. She was not wearing any clothes when she was here, but why is she here?"

"Woo~"

Twin Killing Souls suddenly let out a wail, and knelt down looking at the portrait of Concubine Cheng. The terrifying ghost's face was full of grief, and finally both knelt down and kowtowed, and suddenly turned into two balls of white smoke and disappeared in the In the tea room.

"Huh? The grievances of the twins dissipated, and they kowtowed to the portrait of Concubine Cheng..."

Zhao Guanren looked around in amazement, the mastiff boy had been killed by him, and Emperor Shunyao swallowed, and said: "Concubine Cheng used to be their master, and they were brought into the palace to be trained, and then my father The emperor favored her promotion to Concubine Shu!"

"Your father? Forget it, don't go on, lest you turn around and kill me..."

Zhao Guanren walked into the tea room shaking his head, took a long sword from the low table, and forcefully split the black-smelling floor, as a result, the three of them stared wide-eyed.

There is a pitch-black skull under the floor, placed in a circular pattern, the pattern seems to be mixed with blood and ink, and the black air is coming out of the skull, which is better than the black cloth soaked in the dye vat. darker.

"Aiqing! This, what is this..."

Emperor Shun Yao was so frightened that he started to call Ai Qing. Zhao Guanren squatted down and looked at the skull carefully, and said, "This is what attracts little ghosts, but the dust on the ground is so thick, it must have been there for many years, and I must have died here." people?"

"I, my royal father, died here more than ten years ago..."

Emperor Shun Yao's words shocked himself, and Eunuch Tian trembled even more, while Zhao Guanren stood up and nodded, "Your Majesty! This thing is not aimed at you, but at the late emperor, twins! The female ghost killed your royal father!"

"..."

Emperor Shun Yao's mouth was open, and Zhao Guanren said quickly: "Your Majesty! I have found out the source of the disaster. Don't tell me the old things. I will go to the Epidemiology Department to deal with the skeleton. This thing can't be done." Feel free to touch!"

"Why are you running, I'm not so vicious, I won't kill you..."

Emperor Shun Yao said anxiously: "Since the sorcery can kill my father, it can also kill me. The yin and yang headless corpse in the imperial garden is sorcery. Find the sorcerer quickly, and I will let you be the national teacher." Okay, I'll give you a first-rank Lan Tai Gong!"

"Your Majesty! Just let me go..."

Zhao Guanren clasped his hands and begged: "Do you believe what I said? This involves a bunch of imperial relatives. Anyway, the source has been found out. You can let Bai Yiwei come in to investigate. I will go out and find you spies. Weibo I'm young and don't want to die!"

"I swear to God, can I..."

Emperor Shun Yao really washed his ass in cold water at this time - he was in a hurry!

He raised his left hand high and said loudly: "My Dashun emperor, Chen Yongren, swears with his own life to the heavens that he will never harm his beloved Zhao Yunxuan, and will support his relatives and family members for the rest of his life. "

"Oh~ you really want to kill yourself..."

Zhao Guanren sighed in agony, while Emperor Shunyao smiled comfortably: "Aiqing! It's a lot of work for those who can, but if you can't, you can call me Dad, and I will take my surname from now on. I will make you a prince, or you Choose among the princesses, it would be nice for me to be your father-in-law!"

"Godfather! Let me call you godfather from now on..."

Zhao Guanren quickly seized the opportunity to climb along the pole. Emperor Shun Yao grabbed him and laughed, and went downstairs to drive Eunuch Tian away. He even pulled him into the windowless storage room, lit the oil lamp and closed the door.

"Godson! Godfather tells you a secret..."

Emperor Shun Yao said mysteriously: "This is a big secret, don't tell it outside, in fact, my father is usurping the throne, and I... also usurped the throne!"

"Puff~ cough cough cough..."

Zhao Guanren leaned against the wall and coughed violently, raised his head with tears in his face, and said, "Godfather! Why don't you tell me this, test your character? I really can't stand this stimulation!"

"It's a big deal! How can I not tell you clearly..."

Emperor Shunyao said in a low voice: "The palace you live in used to be my fourth uncle's house. In fact, my grandpa wanted to pass it on to him. My father seized the throne before him and imprisoned him in the palace. He is the only one who can hide the skeleton on the floor, it must be him who did it!"

"no!"

Zhao Guanren said in a daze: "He has been locked up, how could he still come to the palace, and besides, he killed my god-grandpa, wouldn't you and your brother succeed to the throne? What's the use of him doing this?"

"The crown prince hooked up with him back then, and was eager to become emperor..."

Emperor Shunyao said: "My father has been the emperor for 17 years. When he was old, he began to miss the old days. He thought he was a toothless tiger, so he often invited him into the palace to learn martial arts. Later, he renovated the Qi Refining Pavilion all by himself. , I haven’t moved since I’m here, who else is there?”

"I understand……"

Zhao Guanren frowned and said, "The crown prince murdered his own father. The lord wanted revenge, so he found a sorcerer and conspired to bury the black skull. In the end, he asked you... to help you, right?"

"You really know everything, smart..."

Emperor Shun Yao nodded and said: "Your grandpa passed away suddenly back then, and I happened to be here, and the crown prince was not allowed to survive the second day, so the cause of this disaster has been left until now. It is estimated that my fourth uncle also let the magician silence him, otherwise How could they become ghosts, don't you think?"

"Who lived in the queen's bedroom back then..."

Zhao Guanren looked at him with piercing eyes, and Emperor Shunyao said solemnly: "Is it true that the empress wants to murder me? The prince's biological mother lived in her bedroom. Did she find something in the Palace of Mercy and reactivate her sorcery in order to help me?" Her son becomes the emperor?"

"Godfather! You are really like this, you can turn your mind faster than me..."

Zhao Guanren gave a thumbs up and said, "Such a large project can't be completed with only one ex-prince. There must be his biological mother in the harem, so the empress back then also knew about this sorcery, so leave something to harm you." , so normal!"

"No wonder! The old temptress just died of illness in the cold palace at the beginning of the year..."

Emperor Shun Yao gritted his teeth and said: "It must be that the old witch was unwilling to be reconciled. Before she died, she revealed the magic to the queen, and the queen mother and son started to play tricks. Otherwise, there would be two headless corpses for no reason. Fortunately, You find out in time, or I will follow in my father's footsteps!"

"The queen was anxious before and brought someone to kill me. Naturally, it was to cover up something..."
