teardrops

Chapter 19

The two of them didn't delay any longer, and hurriedly walked towards the gate of the courtyard.

After leaving the courtyard, the Yaksha was not at the door, maybe Liuli had told him to go away, the two of them had no time to think, so they left in a hurry.The gate of the courtyard is the edge of the enchantment, and outside is the endless river, Rui'er went straight in, once in the water, she didn't look much different, only the hair on her temples danced gently with the water, and the red skirt was also Uncertain, reflecting a flawless face like a beautiful jade carving, Zhan Zhao looked at Rui'er, and suddenly felt a sense of despair in his heart, she was breathtakingly beautiful, extraordinary and refined, but she belonged to this underwater world.Looking at the past through the water layer, it is so far away and difficult to approach, as if it is just an illusory dream.Rui'er looked back at him, thinking that he was afraid to go into the water, so she smiled and waved to him.He came back to his senses, and hurriedly followed. As soon as he entered the water, he felt a tightness in his chest, but he soon returned to normal.

Rui'er still looked at him, and said: "Young master, can you get used to it?" The voice came through the water, which seemed distant and light, and he replied: "No problem, let's go." Rui'er nodded, and the two recognized each other. Direction, then walked towards the main hall of the Water Mansion.

Walking in the water, the footsteps are floating, but walking is less laborious than walking on land. The courtyard where the women were imprisoned was outside the water mansion, and there was a small path leading to the water mansion. Because of the river blocking it, mortals could not leave at all, so no one was sent. guard.Soon the two of them came to the end of the path, and there was the Yellow River Water Mansion, with a towering palace wall and glazed tile eaves on the top, which was brilliant and dazzling.In the middle, I saw a corner door closed tightly.Zhan Zhao looked at Rui'er, but she didn't say a word, she walked forward, she was still about a foot away from the wall, stretched out her hands and pushed forward, but she seemed to be blocked by something, as if there was a wall An invisible wall stands outside the palace wall.

Rui'er frowned slightly: "Sure enough, there is a restriction set up outside the Water Mansion." Zhan Zhao pulled out the Emperor Zhu sword and raised it towards the restriction. The sharp edge of the sword touched the restriction, but felt as soft as nothing. The body was gently bounced away.Rui'er said: "This is set by magic, you can't defend it hard." He bowed his head for a moment, but raised his eyebrows: "There is a way." Take out a talisman from the kit, stick it on the restriction, see the talisman It seems to be suspended in mid-air, floating slightly with the current.However, a transparent circle gradually appeared around the charm talisman, and became clearer and clearer, like a colorless crystal wall.

"Master Zhan, hurry up, chop it with your sword." Rui'er shouted at Zhan Zhao.

Zhu Emperor's sword stabbed out again, with a muffled sound, a crack appeared in the circle, and it gradually spread out. Finally, the circle broke and fell off piece by piece, and disappeared into the water flow, leaving only the outline of a circle. in front of the two.Rui'er said to Zhan Zhao: "My lord, the restriction has been broken, go in quickly!" After speaking, she walked into the circle and reached the palace wall.Zhan Zhao followed closely behind. After the two entered, the shape of the circle gradually became blurred, and disappeared after a while.Only then did Rui'er say: "That is the Vajra Talisman. Only by turning the restriction into a hard entity can it be destroyed with the Emperor Zhu Sword."

At this time, there was a sound of slow footsteps in the distance, which was clear and low at the bottom of the water, Ruier thought it might be a Yasha on patrol, so she pointed to Zhan Zhao's palace wall, and Zhan Zhao understood.With a little effort from their feet, the two floated up rapidly, and entered the palace wall nimbly like two swimming fish.The footsteps of that team did not stop, and gradually moved away, and finally disappeared.The two of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhan Zhao looked inside the palace walls, and saw the palaces far and near, with carved beams and painted buildings everywhere, the roofs are paved with colored glass, the palace walls are inlaid with pearls and jade, and the courtyard is surrounded by five-color corals that are taller than people, dazzling, There are many ceremonial gates, and the corridors and verandahs are small and unique, Zhan Zhao sighed in his heart, even the Imperial Palace of the Great Inner Palace is not as good as this.Rui'er whispered to Zhan Zhao: "My lord, considering how important that water jade is, Feng Yi must have hidden it not far from his residence. Let's go directly to the main hall of Feng Yi to have a look, and we may find something." Zhan Zhao thought it was reasonable, so he nodded.

The two sneaked carefully in the water mansion, there were not many people in the water mansion, and occasionally encountered a fish spirit or a shark dressed like a maidservant, because they were hiding and hidden, no one noticed.After passing through a tall and magnificent Yimen Gate, there is a vast courtyard. The main hall is majestic and majestic. The side halls on both sides are pierced with deer tops and ear rooms, extending in all directions. On the main hall is hung a large red gold plaque with nine dragons and auspicious clouds, and these three characters are written: Hong Yue Dian.In front of the hall stood a five-foot-tall bronze tripod, and in front of the hall, there were also two teams of yakshas standing solemnly in front of the hall holding triangular halberds.Both of them thought in their hearts that this should be the main hall of Feng Yi, but they didn't know if the evil dragon was in the hall at this time.Both were wary in their hearts, and slowly approached the hall.

Zhan Zhao has lived in the Kaifeng Mansion for many years, and he is very familiar with this kind of unannounced visits. Although he is underwater at this time, it does not hinder his movement. At this time, there is a side door in the east of the main hall, but no one is guarding it. The blind spot of the guards in front of the palace.The two of them looked at each other, and there was a tacit understanding, and they rushed towards the door like two bolts of lightning.

Entering the hall, there was another flash in front of his eyes, only to see that there was no one in the hall, but it was even more magnificent. The carpet on the floor was more than an inch thick, and the windows were inlaid with a whole piece of transparent crystal. Embroidered with exquisite patterns of white dragon and merchant sheep, inlaid with gold and jade everywhere, it is dazzling.

The two of them walked towards the inner room, but Rui'er stopped in front of a curtain made of pink pearls at the door of the inner room, with a serious expression on his face.

Zhan Zhao looked at her with questioning eyes, and she whispered, "It's strange, there is a huge formation here. But it doesn't feel any aggressive, it's just that there is a lot of spiritual power in it, and there is a steady stream of it. The spiritual power gathers towards the center of the formation."

Zhan Zhao asked: "Then is it possible to enter here?" "It should be possible, but it's really strange. Why did Feng Yi set up such a strange formation in his room? Could it be to protect Shuiyu?" Rui'er still had doubts on her face.Zhan Zhao held the hilt of Emperor Zhu's sword in one hand, while gently opening the door curtain, and entered slowly first.

Entering the inner room, the first thing that catches the eye is a huge portrait of a woman, with a six-dragon carriage beside it, salmon leaping, and jade luan bells.The woman's gauze skirt was like mist, her skirt was flying, her face was absolutely beautiful, she moved her vermilion lips, but raised her sleeves to wipe away her tears, she looked very sad, and one couldn't help feeling heartbroken just looking at it.

In the middle of the room, Feng Yi was not seen, but there was a woman sitting with her back to the two of them, with a phoenix crown and a xiapei, her dress tugging at the floor.Rui'er followed Zhan Zhao into the room, seeing the pictures on the wall, her expression changed, but she didn't say a word.

Zhan Zhao's heart moved, could it be that the stunning beauty in this painting is the legendary Concubine Mi of Luoshen?Then who is this woman?Looking at Rui'er is also puzzled.Zhan Zhao had an idea in his mind, looked at Rui'er, and pointed at the woman, Rui'er immediately understood that the woman appeared here must have a close relationship with Feng Yi, and he wanted to restrain the woman from asking.After a moment of hesitation, they nodded, and the two quickly moved forward, hearing Zhu Dijian's long howl, and the edge of the sword was already resting on the delicate jade neck of the woman.

The woman didn't move at all, as if she didn't feel anything at all.Zhan Zhao asked in a low voice, "Who are you? Where is Feng Yi?" The woman was still motionless, like a dead person.

Rui'er observed carefully, and found that the place where the woman was sitting was actually the center of that strange formation, and all the spiritual power was gathered on her body. With a move in her heart, she said in surprise: "Mr. Zhan, please put away the sword. She It's not a living person." Zhan Zhao was slightly puzzled: appearing in this place, he would not be a mortal, but he took the sword back according to his words, Rui'er knew that he had slipped his words, and said, "She is not a Shui Clan either." The two of them Walking around in front of the woman, the woman finally moved and looked up at the two of them.

When Zhan Zhao saw the woman's face, he couldn't help being shocked: she was exactly the same as the woman Luoshen in the painting!Even the sad expression is exactly the same as in the painting.But seeing this beautiful face that makes people forget their minds, although it is incomparably beautiful, it is slightly blurred, as if covered by a layer of mist.Zhan Zhao took a closer look at the portrait and the woman, and found that she was [-]% similar to a dragon princess beside her.

Ruier's face was also shocked, staring at the woman thoughtfully, she raised her head for a while and said: "My lord, she is not Luoshen, but a spirit body forcibly condensed by the art of gathering spirits from many living people. .”

Zhan Zhao was surprised again, "That is to say, she is made up of the souls and flesh of those women who showed to the river god? There are such vicious spells!"

Rui'er's complexion was heavy: "The art of gathering spirits uses the souls and flesh and blood of seven people to condense into the person that the performer wants, and it needs to use the spirits and flesh of living people as sacrifices in order to keep the spirits solidified and not dissipate." .So every month, a woman is asked to come..." He sighed secretly, "The big cauldron in front of the temple must be the vessel for refining those women..."

Zhan Zhao suddenly understood: "Feng Yi missed Concubine Mi, so he used this extremely cruel method to make Concubine Mi appear again." But he felt a pain in his heart: Feng Yi repeatedly wanted to take Rui'er away, but in fact Not for the purpose of threatening, but because she resembles the one he loves...

But he quickly controlled himself not to think about it, and Ruier said sadly: "The water jade is in her body." Zhan Zhao looked at the "Luo Shen" in surprise, and Rui'er continued: "This spirit body is made of water jade." As the core, the souls and flesh of those mortal women can be so realistic. But even so, she still can't completely resemble the real Concubine Mi, so her face is blurred."

The spirit body cannot speak, so "Luo Shen" just looked at the two of them with a pair of star eyes, and the melancholy eyes made people feel pity.Looking at her, Zhan Zhao felt that she was another Rui'er, and couldn't bear it for a while: "That is to say, if you want to destroy Shuiyu and save those mortal women, you must destroy this...spiritual body?"

Ruier nodded and remained silent.

"Luo Shen" turned his head, looked at Zhan Zhao with watery eyes, and a slight smile appeared on Ruyu's face, but he didn't say a word after gathering all the tenderness of the woman.Zhan Zhao couldn't help trembling slightly with his hand gripping the hilt of the sword.

Rui'er secretly sighed in her heart, this spirit body was condensed according to Feng Yi's memory.She could imagine that this beautiful goddess of Luoshui smiled at her beloved husband like this, so this smile was deeply imprinted in Feng Yi's heart and appeared on the face of this spirit body.

Zhan Zhao felt rather embarrassed, he had never laid hands on a defenseless person in his life, although the "person" in front of him had swallowed the lives of many innocent women, but at this moment, it seemed that he was just a weak and helpless woman.Now you want to kill her with the three-foot green blade in your hand?Moreover, she is so similar to the people around her... His hand holding the sword couldn't help trembling slightly again.
