Zhijun Xiangu

Chapter 43 Dungeon

Dungeon

Yun Qingyue and Ye Ling set out on the road again, and as soon as they stepped into the village they found, they bumped into the hanged ghost head-on.

Originally, when encountering ghosts at night in ordinary people's congresses, there are only two outcomes. Either people are scared away, or people are caught by ghosts. Probably not... ghosts are so frightened that they tremble and can't run away.

Ye Ling has the aura of the Son of Heaven to protect his body, so it's easy to frighten ordinary little ghosts like this, but seeing this little ghost shivering while hanging from a tree branch, it's really a bit pitiful.

Yun Qingyue sighed: "I'll ask you a few questions, you answer honestly, and I'll let you go after you answer, do you hear?"

The hanged ghost nodded quickly, Ye Ling looked really afraid that he would cut his neck off.

Yun Qingyue: "First question, why is there no one alive in this village? Where are the people and those livestock?"

The hanged ghost: "Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow"

Yun Qingyue frowned: "Are you answering me?"

"Wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" The Hanged Ghost gestured.

"..."

"Okay, I ignored it, maybe ordinary brats can't talk, so it's useless to keep him." Yun Qingyue slapped her forehead, then turned to Ye Ling and said, "You let it go."

Ye Ling also knew that the kid was so scared because of himself, but he was still a little unclear, so he asked, "How to let it go?"

It's one thing to be born with it, but another thing to want to control it freely. Neither of them has practiced how to contain and release this kind of breath, and they are a bit staring.

The hanged man was about to cry.

Yun Qingyue scratched her face: "Isn't it good if we leave, and this village is too weird, I suggest that we should go outside and find a place."

Ye Ling nodded: "Indeed."

This village is really weird.

Just as Ye Ling was about to lift his foot, Yun Qingyue stopped him with her hand.

The hanged ghost seemed to have sensed something, and tried his best but couldn't get his head off the rope.

Yun Qingyue sneered: "Let me just say, I really worked hard to arrange such a place...Since your Excellency is here, why don't you show up?"

He stared at a seemingly ordinary room, and soon, a person walked out from behind the room.

Yun Qingyue frowned and glanced, and found that it was a young woman, she whispered to Ye Ling: "Although men and women are not intimate, according to tradition, all women in the world are yours, you go up and persuade them advise?"

Ye Ling didn't understand: "What?"

The next moment he reacted: "I'm not a pervert, you should concentrate on the enemy right now!"

"By the lord's order, the two of you will be captured without a fight." The woman's words were crisp and concise, and she explained her intention in one sentence.

Hearing that "Prince", Qingyue Yeling's heart sank.

"Although beauties have requests, I should be more polite as a man." Yun Qingyue raised an eyebrow, "But...why?"

The woman didn't speak any more, her left hand raised a demonic energy that is definitely not what a human should have, her eyes were strangely golden, and she threw a bloody thing out, and the two of them saw that it was a human hand.

Covered with thick cocoons of toil.

"Your Majesty cares about all the people, and the King of Yue is kind, so he will certainly not refuse to save the entire village."

Yun Qingyue's face darkened: "What did you do?"

"Not yet, but it won't be certain in the future." The woman said coldly, "Everything is in the hands of the two of you."

"...Okay, let's catch them without a fight." After thinking for a moment, Ye Ling said in a deep voice, "Don't hurt the common people again."

……

Yun Qingyue pressed the wound on her left wrist—the effect of acupoints to stop bleeding was not very good. Although it had been bandaged, the severed tendon was not a minor injury.

Visually, he has now successfully entered Gu'an's dungeon.

The woman used the villagers as hostages and captured the two of them. She didn't do anything to Ye Ling, but broke his tendons, and without saying a word, threw the two of them into the dungeon and locked them up separately.

Next, he will probably have to wait for Ye Cen to come.

Yun Qingyue sat against the wall, distracting herself, in order to forget the injury on her hand, tried it...but only Xiang Yulin had some effect.

The footsteps of two people sounded in the corridor outside the cell.

When Ye Cen went to Gu'an back then, Yun Qingyue didn't have the deep internal strength she has now, and she didn't know what his footsteps sound like - now I know, I didn't expect this to be the case.

He opened his eyes, and there were two people standing in front of the cell door, one was the woman just now, the other, with sword eyebrows and star eyes, was still vaguely recognizable.

"Ye Cen."

Ye Cen didn't respond, just stared at Yun Qingyue's wrist for a while, then turned to the woman and said, "What's going on?"

The woman lowered her head and said as a matter of course: "I'm venting my anger on the prince."

Ye Cen sighed, and said helplessly, "What's going on? Yunru is dead, so it can't be like this next time, I have to listen to my king."

There is affection and cold-bloodedness in the words, but there is no feeling for the mother at all.

Yun Qingyue stood up, a little dizzy, the iron chain on her right hand jingled: "You just call your mother by her first name?"

"That's your mother, not my king's." Ye Cen turned his head and looked at each other, Ye Cen suddenly remembered something, "Oh, yes, you are my king's younger brother, so let me just say... a long time not see."

"As expected, you are more like Yunru." Finally he sighed.

Yun Qingyue said in a deep voice, "Ye Cen, what do you want to do?"

"What are you doing?" Ye Cen asked back, and suddenly chuckled, "Seeking to usurp the throne, this king has done so clearly—isn't it natural for a prince who is exiled to the frontier and still holds the military power to seek to usurp the throne? This king also sent the news to Chang'an, Eleven, you are so smart, don't tell me you don't believe me."

No need to ask why.

"This king is going back to Chang'an...to dismantle the graves of Yunru and the old man, so that they will die without a place to bury them."

The leaves

Cen said such harsh words, but there was no trace of turmoil in his tone, and the calmness made people feel chills.

"...Are you crazy?" Yun Qingyue said.

Ye Cen didn't talk to him anymore, and said to the woman beside him, "Ning'er, where are you keeping my brother's brother?"

Hearing the sound of "Ning'er", Yun Qingyue suddenly remembered something, stared at the woman's familiar face, and said in disbelief: "You are... Zhou Ning?! The daughter of Grand Master Zhou?!"

The woman glanced at him without denying it.

No wonder it looked familiar.

Zhou Ning is the eldest daughter of Zhou Hua, a university scholar. She has always liked Ye Cen in her early years. The two of them made a marriage contract. They never thought that Ye Cen would be exiled. The Zhou family could not let their daughter marry an exiled prince, so they broke off the engagement. , but Zhou Ning mysteriously disappeared shortly after. The Zhou family searched for a long time without any trace, but unexpectedly came to the northwest after Ye Cen!

The two left.

The cell returned to dead silence.

Yun Qingyue looked down and saw that her hands were shaking slightly.

After a few strokes, he untied the iron chain that fastened his right hand, and found that his hand was still shaking——

He's bleeding a little bit.

……

"Master, please speak." Xinghui walked into Yijian Pavilion.

Yu Lin and Ci Yan sat on both sides of the table, Yu Lin nodded in response, and Ci Yan asked, "How is it?"

Xing Hui said: "Probably we can lock the hiding place of the fleeing demon in a few towns on the northwest border, and we have to go in and investigate the specifics - it should be possessed by a willing person before it can be hidden." It’s so deep, and if there’s anything to do in the past two years, a little trace will be revealed.”

In the realm of comprehension, inner demons are no small matter.

Everyone has a demon in their hearts, and the stronger the person, the more likely it is to trigger it. It is a very special demon that has lived in the world since birth.

However, this kind of heart demon who can survive and escape after the former triggerer is dead is even rarer.

……

I don't know why Ye Cen didn't immediately kill these two biggest obstacles to his stepping towards the throne, but left him here without knowing what to do.

Fortunately, Yun Qingyue's injury didn't get worse, but the tendons couldn't connect, and if it healed like this, his left hand might be useless.

Can't go on like this...

Ye Cen didn't allow anyone to starve to death, and someone even delivered food to Tian Tian. Although he didn't have any medicine, he was very resilient, and Yun Qingyue finally didn't feel dizzy after raising her for a few days.

This day, the man had just put down the food, and Yun Qingyue stretched out her hand directly from the gap to knock him unconscious, and unscrewed the lock of the cell door three or two times - it was also fortunate that Ye Cen didn't know about his second job.

In order to maintain her strength, Yun Qingyue ate her food when she woke up.

After a while, the jailer just opened his eyes, Yun Qingyue grabbed his neck with one hand, and said coldly, "Where is Your Majesty?"

……

Yun Qingyue hesitated before the tunnel.

According to the jailer, Ye Ling was taken away not long ago and entered this tunnel, and the jailer didn't know where the tunnel led.

He had checked and found that another exit led to Yi Wang's mansion. Ye Cen was now stationing part of his troops around there, ready to raise troops, Yun Qingyue had to die to go.

When he was in Xiangyang, he fought with soldiers?No, how does one hundred people compare with tens of thousands of elite soldiers?

Yun Qingyue entered the tunnel.

The tunnel is narrow and can only allow one person to pass through, and it took about a quarter of an hour to walk down before the road became flat. Yun Qingyue felt that the temperature inside was getting hotter and hotter, almost like a steamer.

When the road became wider, Yun Qingyue had been walking for nearly two hours, and the exit could be seen not far away, but it was full of fiery red light.

Voices came from the front, and there were many elite soldiers guarding her. Yun Qingyue lowered her breath and hid in the darkness of the shadows.

……

Ye Ling's face was pale: "Qingyu, what are you doing?"

Ye Cen made a "shh" gesture: "Third brother, keep your voice down, I can't hear the sound of magma flowing."

Maybe Ye Cen was really crazy.

He, Zhou Ning and a few subordinates brought Ye Ling here early in the morning - a volcano that could erupt at any moment!It seems that they have discovered it long ago. The stone platform they are staying at now was excavated manually, and not far below the stone platform is tumbling red magma.

Ye Cen didn't send anyone to arrest Ye Ling, he sat casually on the edge of the stone platform, Ye Ling stood beside him, the two of them were in harmony as if they were brothers who wanted to talk homely.

Dozens of elite soldiers guarded the surroundings, and Ye Ling was so hot that he could hardly stand it, but these soldiers, who were wearing layers of armor and even covered their faces, stood up straight as if they didn't feel it.

"Third brother, do you know?" Ye Cen's voice was soft, and he focused on the magma, "Do you know how powerful these things will be if they explode? They are about to explode, I can feel it, I If we use them, even those cultivators will not be able to beat me."

Ye Ling: "Impossible! How can a mortal use the power of nature? Don't be reckless!"

"Reckless? Third brother, I have been studying here for 15 years, how can I be called reckless?" Ye Cen looked back at him with a red light in his eyes.

Ye Ling remembered Yun Qingyue's words: "You...have a demon attached to you?!"

"I met it, or it can be said that I chose it. I can distribute the magic power to my soldiers, making them invincible, and I can also control the magma, so that they can be used by me." Ye Cen stood up, his voice It suddenly became two people, very weird.

His eyes turned crimson, but his eyes turned pitch black: "Third brother, tell me, if the imperial court breaks the boundary with the cultivation world, and the two sides start a war, who will win? Those hypocritical cultivators, who will die?" Do you care about 'not being able to harm mortals'? Even better, if the demon world attacks at this time... the world will be over, right?"

Ye Ling couldn't believe it: "You are crazy! How can you let the demon control you to attack the world?! You are human!"

"So what? I don't want it to exist, because it is unnecessary. If it treats me like this, I will destroy it. The karma and fate of the fairy gate is also like this." Ye Cen's flat voice made people shudder. He saw Turning to the only passage, the conversation changed, "Eleven, will you also come to see me succeed?"
