The seven-star lotus cloud array is not static, the chess game is set by the arrayer, and the player must break it within a certain period of time, otherwise, when the mind is completely eroded by the poisonous mist and the mind is filled with illusions, it will be impossible to solve the dilemma.
Su Mo took every step extremely carefully, while Mu Bai focused on his surroundings, trying not to let hidden weapons affect his judgment.
The power of the lotus needle is not weak. To block it, Mubai also needs to inject a certain amount of internal strength when using the sword, and once he exercises his skills, the speed at which the poisonous mist invades the body will be accelerated.Weird voices began to appear in his ears, like someone whispering and whispering.
Mu Bai shook his head, and when he opened his eyes again, he saw four girls in colorful clothes walking towards him carrying a cage of bamboo sedan chairs in the faint red mist.
"Brother Su Mo," he raised his finger in a daze, "Look there..."
Su Mo looked in the direction he pointed, but there was nothing.
He knew that Mu Bai had hallucinated from inhaling the poisonous fog, so he quickly covered his eyes with his sleeve: "Don't look."
Mu Bai smelled the faint sandalwood in his sleeves, so he regained his senses and asked, "Where have we been?"
"It's almost there." Su Mo held his hand tightly, and then walked forward.
The seven-star lotus formation spread all over the entire imperial palace, and the eye of the formation was in the central palace—unsurprisingly, the people who set up the formation were also guarding there.
Bounded by the bluestone brick pattern, each square is a move on the chess game. Su Mo has walked a hundred steps, and the gate of the central palace has come into view.
Suddenly, Mu Bai heard voices coming from the direction of the palace gate.
It is a soldier under the command of the third prince.Holding their shields and swords, they walked forward slowly, while watching their surroundings vigilantly.
"Is that also an illusion?"
"No." Su Mo said softly, "It seems that brother Sanhuang can't wait."
"There are very few people in the world who can break this formation. Even if he has the ability to invite one, by the time this formation is broken, the news of forcing the palace to rebel has spread all over the Wuti country."
"Then he is..."
"Forcibly break the formation and use human lives to pave the way. The number of hidden mines ambushed in the seven-star lotus cloud formation is limited. If most of them are detonated, the army can raise their shields and force their way in. Find the formation builders and kill them before inhaling excessive poisonous mist. This battle will be self-defeating.”
"Oh!"
As soon as the words fell, a soldier stepped on the hidden thunder at the gate of the palace, and the flames shot up into the sky, overturning several corpses.
Mu Bai frowned: "How many people will die here?"
Su Mo didn't answer, but concentrated on figuring out the next step, and led Mu Bai to step over.
After taking this step, the soldiers at the other end of the palace gate were blocked by the palace ahead and could no longer be seen.
Then there were explosions one after another, and the flames and gunpowder smoke rose from the glazed roof and merged into the blurred red mist.
Standing in front of the palace as the eye of the formation, Mu Bai glimpsed behind the carved wooden door, a blurred red figure reclined on the couch, as if looking out through the thin door.
"Fifth Prince, since you're here, why don't you come in and sit down?"
This voice is ethereal like smoke, with a hint of stickiness that makes the scalp tingle, like a gangrene attached to the bone, slowly crawling along the cochlea into the brain, as if a voodoo has been planted in the brain.
Mubai put his finger on the hilt of Tianyu Liufang's sword.
Su Mo held his hand tightly, raised the folding fan and pushed open the palace door.
"Shh-"
The moment the door was opened, dozens of lotus flower needles flew towards him, as dense as a rain curtain.
Su Mo took Mu Bai and led him to the side, Tian Yu Liu Fang unsheathed at the same time, stopping the flying needle in front of the two of them.
Unhurried applause resounded in the hall, and the voice just now said slowly: "That's right, my nephew is very skilled, if my sister knows it under the spring, I can feel at ease."
Just recovering from the critical moment, Mu Bai was a little confused when he heard her words, and looked at Su Mo with a slight frown.
Su Mo frowned, but the smile didn't reach his eyes: "It really is you."
"I never expected that you and my mother have such a relationship."
what……
Mu Bai couldn't understand the situation at all, he just looked into the hall.
Layers of veils hang down on both sides of the aisle paved with red carpets, and the red mist and breeze pass through it.On the carved wooden couch at the end is a red-clothed and snow-skinned woman reclined. Her curly black hair is adorned with ornate gold ornaments, and a lotus pendant is inserted in the swing.
The posture is exactly the same as that of the woman lying on the bamboo sedan chair that Mu Bai saw in Dead Town when he first came to this world.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, and his eyes fell on the opponent's face through the hazy red mist.
When he saw it clearly, he was shocked.
The woman's face was exactly the same as his master's.
It's just that compared to the delicate but pale woman under the cliff, the blue hair, red lips and snow skin in front of her is much brighter and more beautiful.
If the master is a deep mountain snow lotus, this flower is probably a red flame red lotus that bloomed in the prosperous age.
Before Mu Bai could react from his surprise, Su Mo said again: "If I remember correctly, you didn't look like this originally, so it's fun to put on my mother's face?"
The woman chuckled: "I didn't want to do that either, after all my sister treated me pretty well."
"Your Highness, the reason why I persevere in inviting you to cooperate is not only because of your ability, but also because of your mother."
"You are the only relative she has left in this world. Naturally, I still miss the old friendship and want to help you, but unfortunately you don't appreciate it... I had no choice but to put on this face and do it myself. Back then, our three sisters People get along day and night, I can still imitate your mother's demeanor, that stupid emperor almost thought it was really her who came back."
Su Mo asked in a deep voice, "Where is my father?"
"Your father..." The woman raised her finger to the rear, "In the bedroom of your mother and concubine."
"The old man has already run out of fuel. Since he misses your mother and concubine so much, I will give him a blessing and let him wait to die in the place where she lived."
Su Mo's brows and eyes moved slightly, and he quickly understood: "No wonder. I wondered before, what kind of medicine did you give the father to make him look radiant when he was about to die..."
Mu Bai got too much information from their conversation, and upon hearing this, he could only roughly guess that the woman in front of him was the leader of the Red Lotus Sect.And Emperor Wuti may have been betrayed by the Honglian sect. The real emperor lies in the closed palace of Concubine Qiong, who goes to court every day and even holds ceremonies. emperor.
This trick was used once in the Pianyu Guanhonglian Sect before, but no one would have expected that they would dare to switch their bags and become the emperor.
Su Mo continued: "You mentioned in your letter earlier that what my father and emperor said when he was unconscious, the truth about my mother and concubine back then..."
"The truth." The woman smiled softly, "Then you have to ask him yourself."
Su Mo frowned.
At this moment, a lotus flower needle suddenly shot from the corner of the hall, very fast, and hit the position where he and Mu Bai held hands.
Mu Bai let go of his hand, and with a wave of Tian Yu Liu Fang, knocked down the lotus needle to the ground.
At the same time, a Zhang-long red sleeve was thrown in the air, rolled up at his feet, tightly wrapped around Mu Bai's ankle, and pulled him backwards.
"noob!"
Su Mo turned around, but failed to hold Mu Bai.
"Whoa-"
There was a gust of wind in the hall, layers of veils were raised, and red shadows danced wildly.
The woman's laughter floated from the depths of the palace: "Your Highness, the old man's life has come to an end, and he is only hanging on his breath. If you don't go there, you will not be able to ask the truth."
Su Mo opened the folding fan, and the fan bone pierced the sharp edge, cutting open the curtain that blocked the view.
At the same time, Tian Yu Liufang's sword light broke through the red mist, and waved a bright sword light.
Mubai's voice came from behind the red curtain: "I'm fine."
In just a moment, the red mist surged, the veil danced wildly, and Su Mo lost his trace again, so he could only shout loudly: "Xiaobai—"
Mu Bai was trapped in the bewildering red shadows.
The dark red veil seemed endless, and it couldn't be cut through.
Hearing Su Mo's voice, he shouted: "I can still handle it here, you go to your business first."
Su Mo entered the palace originally to ask about what happened back then, and he followed to help, and he couldn't let Su Mo miss the opportunity to save himself.
The surrounding red mist surged faster and faster, and the field of vision was almost filled with red. Mu Bai could no longer hear any sound, so he could only try his best to cut off the wrapped red sleeves.
Before entering the palace, his body had been corroded by the poisonous mist, and he began to hallucinate.At this moment, Mu Bai couldn't even tell whether those layers of red color were real or an illusion.
This is not the way to go.
He closed his eyes, let out a deep breath, and focused on finding the location of the other people in the entire palace.
Suddenly, Mubai's pinna moved, and he caught the sound of very light footsteps, walking towards him through layers of red curtains.
He suddenly opened his eyes, and saw that the dancing veils around him stopped and fluttered down on the smooth ground.
The folding fan parted a veil, and a figure in gilt gauze and court attire stepped out from behind. Seeing Mu Bai standing there safe and sound, he seemed relieved and frowned, "Xiao Bai."
He stretched out his hand: "Come here, I'll take you out."
Mu Bai walked forward slowly, without taking that hand rashly.
The other party waved his sleeves with a sense of guidance, and a very faint fragrance floated into his nostrils, not the smell of sandalwood.
He immediately drew out his sword and put it on the man's neck: "Who are you?"
The person posing as Su Mo lowered his eyebrows and said, "You have seen through all of this."
Mu Bai said: "Next time you pretend to be someone else, remember to change the fragrance too."
The man laughed lowly: "How do you even remember the scent on his body so clearly?"
"Pick off your fake skin quickly, don't force me to do it."
"Okay." The man slowly removed the fake skin of the disguise, "I really don't want to part with it."
The woman in red, who had faded off her black palace attire, said with a smile: "My nephew is really flirtatious. Dressing up like him, I'm sure he can attract many little girls...Young man, don't you think so?"
Mu Bai frowned.
The person standing in front of him seemed to be the same person just now, but after tearing off the mask, the face was different from his master's, it was another pretty face, with a coquettish red lotus painted between his eyebrows.
Mu Bai couldn't be sure that this was the true face of the Red Lotus leader, and he was not interested in what she looked like, so he just said: "You call each nephew very kindly...but you pretend to be Su Mo's concubine to seduce his father, It's a disaster for the court. It's really bad luck for eight lifetimes for him to have an aunt like you."
The woman's brows and eyes suddenly sank.
Mubai recalled the face she had changed before, and asked again: "What is the real name of Su Mo's mother and concubine?"
The woman stared at him uncertainly, and after a while asked in a deep voice, "Why are you asking this?"
"You just said that there are three sisters. If I remember correctly, the orphans adopted by Bulian Shennun were the three sisters. The oldest one is called Qin Shengyi, and the other pair are twin sisters. The older sister is called Qin Lanyi. The owner of Qinglian Valley, as for my sister..."
"You know quite a lot." She sneered, "Nowadays, few people in Jianghu remember my name."
"But so what, my twin sister is famous all over the world, she is called the Immortal Doctor, and she died miserably in Qinglian Valley. Sister Shengyi walked the world freely and unrestrainedly all her life, but she followed that stupid emperor for several years. Time wasted in the palace, and finally ended up committing suicide by throwing himself off a cliff..."
Mu Bai asked, "Why did she throw herself off a cliff?"
The woman glanced at him, raised her red sleeves and wrapped around the sword edge lying on the side of her neck.
"This is the truth that Su Mo wants to know."
She flew back lightly and disappeared into the dark red veil.
Su Mo took every step extremely carefully, while Mu Bai focused on his surroundings, trying not to let hidden weapons affect his judgment.
The power of the lotus needle is not weak. To block it, Mubai also needs to inject a certain amount of internal strength when using the sword, and once he exercises his skills, the speed at which the poisonous mist invades the body will be accelerated.Weird voices began to appear in his ears, like someone whispering and whispering.
