[Ancient Sword II] Morning Light Shadow

Most of the priests and attendants of the temple focus on practicing spells. Shen Xi knows that there are only two people in the temple who are good at martial arts, one is his brother, and the other is the new priest of Tianfu—they are all in the center of the square right now.

Under the cover of the cloud, Shen Xi managed to avoid the trajectory of the sword. She slipped out a porcelain bottle from her sleeve and held it in her hand. Looking at the direction of the wind, she found that the current position was a bit rough, and the attackers were not in the wind... She put away the porcelain vase and blew the flute. Thousands of tiny Gu worms flew towards the visitor under the control of the rhythm, and the empty hall was filled with mourning.

Shen Xi finally understood why there were two different times: one moment earlier and halfway through the ceremony. The previous time was to attack her, and maybe take her as a hostage. If the attack failed during the ceremony, she could be used to blackmail Shen Ye.

While thinking about it, a crossbow arrow pierced through the wind, and Yun Yu hit each other with his staff hastily, which missed the direction.The insect flute in Shen Xi's hand was cut in two by the arrows, and the sound of the flute stopped abruptly.

For the current Shen Xi, it is not difficult to control Gu with thoughts. She does her best and can control less than a thousand Gu insects at most. reachable range.

Thinking of this, she immediately ordered the Gu insects around her to control the mobility of the sneak attackers close to her and destroy the limbs as much as she wanted. As for those in the distance...

Before she could see the source of the crossbow arrows, another arrow shot from the side, hitting the rabbit doll on her back, destroying the sounding armor inside, and then a burst of shots forced her to back away from the cloud.

The worm flute was made by the father and quietly placed beside the pillow, and the rabbit doll was designed and sewn by the elder brother himself, and they were all...

--broken.

A red and black spider the size of a mung bean hangs down from Shen Xi's fingers. After landing, it grows against the wind and becomes a half-human-tall behemoth in an instant, almost scaring Yun Yu into a cold sweat.After appeasing the maid with her eyes, Shen Xi put her fingers under her lips and blew a loud tune.

There are very few insects that receive signals on the same band as humans, but it doesn't mean that there are no... It's just that it's not easy to control.

The mucus sprayed out from the spinner at the end of the spider's belly quickly hardened and turned white when it met the air, and formed a giant web before the arrows arrived. The bronze arrows were stuck by the venom attached to the spider web, and quickly corroded and decayed. The impact force carried by the arrow body is also absorbed by the toughness of the spider silk itself.

"If you don't die, you won't die. Why do people always don't understand?"

After ensuring the safety of herself and Yun Yu, Shen Xi gave the giant spider the command to attack freely.

The flying spider silks accurately hit the sneak attackers hiding in the dark, and then pulled out one by one, the little spiders hanging under the spider's belly swarmed up, and soon sucked the struggling human body into a scarred corpse. Dry skin with holes.

The carrion spider is ferocious by nature, and the female spider tamed by Shen Xi with the secret medicine has just laid eggs and has an even more urgent need for meat... The huge front hall was instantly silent, and Yun Qu's face turned pale. He wanted to pull Shen Xi away from the carrion spider, but he was frightened by the giant spider's aura and dared not move.

After eating up those people who were subdued by Shen Xi's Gu technique before, the female spider slowly bit off the spider web and swallowed them bit by bit. .

During the process of the spider swarm eating people, Shen Xi's eyes kept falling on the insect flute that was broken in two, until the carrion spider shrunk to its original shape, grabbed her fingers and returned to the sleeve, and she seemed to wake up from a start , looked up at Yun Yu.

"Go back, brother must be very busy now, let's not make trouble for him." The voice was hoarse and dry, completely different from the usual crisp and sweet.

Back in the silence, when Yun Yu was busy collecting hot water, Shen Xi covered her mouth and retched for a long time.

Even though she had envisioned killing people with Gu techniques many times in her mind, Shen Xi couldn't calmly face the situation of devouring her own kind with carefully cultivated Gu insects.

That is not an ant that can be crushed to death, but a living person like herself... She couldn't use the reason "I am not the one who kills, but Gu worms" to force herself to ignore that those lives were under her order The fact of demise.

Perhaps for a long time to come, those shriveled and hideous skins will become frequent visitors in her nightmares.

After the succession ceremony, the liquidation and killings that accompanied the handover of power lasted for nearly half a month, and finally came to an end.

From Yigao down, those who participated in the rebellion were all punished according to their crimes, but the mastermind was a bit tricky to deal with.Now in Liuyue City, apart from the current city lord Cangming, there are only two people who bear the blood of the city lord. One is Congyang, the priest of Tianfu, and the other is Yigao, the initiator of the rebellion.Compared with Congyang, Yigao and Cangming's bloodlines are closer, even if they committed a serious crime, they cannot be dealt with easily.

Even with the witnesses and material evidence in front of his eyes, Yigao refused to plead guilty. Congyang, who was in charge of the interrogation, couldn't help but want to use severe punishment several times, but he was concerned about his identity. Neutrals who are still on the sidelines are falling.Moreover, after she herself rebelled, the sentencing must be carefully considered, otherwise she may be tricked by accident.

This uneven situation finally changed when Yigao's wife was found to be two months pregnant.

"Let's be honest," Cong Yang said rather roguely, sitting cross-legged outside the prison door, "the evidence for the crime of treason is solid, even if you deny it, we can convict you, but if you admit it yourself, The sentencing will be lighter, and our face will be better. In fact, you also know in your heart that it is not good for anyone if you waste it like this."

Seeing that Yigao was still standing still, Congyang sighed and tapped the sound transmission Gu hidden in the earring.Anyway, she has done her best, since Yi Gaoming is stubborn, let her mouth be more aggressive to deal with him.

"You plead not guilty like this, does your son know?"

Sure enough, Zi Si is a weakling, Cong Yang only repeated the first sentence, and Yi Gao raised his head.

"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot. You haven't been home since the day the high priest took over. No wonder you don't know..." Cong Yang deliberately elongated his tone, and said leisurely, "It was only diagnosed yesterday. Two months pregnant, and still a boy~ Although it was only under house arrest, it was not harshly treated, but if the adults can bear it, the fetus may not be able to bear it... Even if it is born and grows up, there is a father who is a rebellious common man Come to think of it, it's hard for this kid to hold his head up..."

"...You threaten me?!"

Following Shen Xi's example, Congyang tilted his head innocently: "How can you talk about threats? There are precedents for such things."

Yigao gritted his teeth: "...you are ruthless!"

"Hey, if you plead guilty, you will be under house arrest for life alone, which is better than harming future generations... Just figure it out."

The moment before stepping out of the dungeon, Congyang heard Yigao's malicious questioning.

"Being obedient to Shen Ye in every possible way... Do you think you are worthy of the god-born blood in your body?"

It's such a time, and I still don't forget to sow discord...

Cong Yang thought to himself, luckily the idiot genes are all in Yigao, not passed on to him.This time, Shen Xi didn't need to point her out, she knew how to refute.

"Shen Ye is the High Priest recognized by City Lord Cangming, and the City Lord has no objections, why do you still have objections?"

You are not the city lord, why are you messing around?

"You must have contacted other people besides me, right?"

Turning back from Cong Yang, he said with a blank expression, "Chi Xiao, Yong Men, Cheng Luan...they all entered the temple with me, do you think they have paid attention to you?

"Don't talk about the nonsense that we have taken refuge in the high priest. As long as the brain is healthy and the people who really think about Liuyue City, who will be wined over by you and follow the rebellion? That is to say, you are stupid. How much did you say? The sentence promises to be shaken by heavy profit...

"By the way, I guess you can only stay here for the rest of your life. After all, you are a relative. I can tell you what name you want to name your son."

After a long silence, a hoarse voice that seemed to be much older came from the depths of the dungeon.

"... Yu Feng."
