The Lord who use immortals as food

Pei Ye stood up from the steps, pushed open the two doors, and opened the curtains. He did not imagine that the palace was swaying, but the dust and decay had indeed eroded the palace in spots.

After he lowered the curtain, he stopped immediately. He had taken eight steps in total. Standing here and tilting his head to the west, he saw the large curtained window. The brocade cloth was very strong and had not been eroded or fallen off after so many years.

Pei Ye walked toward it, taking nineteen steps in total, which was a full four feet away.

Looking back at the bed from here, it is more than half a foot long.

Only then can he truly feel the weight of the word "half breath" in the scroll. It suddenly appears, a sword is taken, and it flies out of the window... This is what he read in the storybook before he recognized the true energy. Those figures who behave like ghosts come and go without a trace, which will make you look back when you are talking and laughing and find that your companion has a gaping hole in his throat.

Yes, in a place like this, you have to find such people.

Pei Ye thought about it, opened the curtains and looked out. There was nothing special about it. Snow forest and green branches, a very beautiful forest scene. This is the west side of Mingyue Palace. If the assassin enters the forest from here, Ying Suyu There should be a high probability of fighting him.

Jiang Yin'er and Yan Feiqing are not good at it, and Zhu Gaoyang may not be very good at it, because they are too talented and established too high. They have advanced quickly since they were young, and they can easily grasp powerful power. Compared with ordinary cultivators, While they were still addicted to the Pulse Realm, they were already proficient in things like the Intention Sword and the Mind and Soul Technique.

Victory with only a sword and a mortal body is an area they are not familiar with. Only those who have only owned these two things for a long time can know the vast spaces and hidden corners, and know how to Even if he loses his true energy, he still maintains his sharp five senses and knows how to fight with the weapon itself, his own bones, and even his teeth.

Lord of the Eight Waters He Wujian and He Zijia crossed the Muzhou, they were such people.

You have to believe in their strength, in that person who was tempered by the world that was suppressed by famous factions and aristocratic families.

Pei Ye restored the scene over and over again. He imagined himself as He Wujian, appearing, assassinating, and leaving in a narrow window of time. Then he sat in front of the steps holding the sword again and again, imagining what he wanted to do. How can he rush into the palace as quickly as possible... Gradually, he felt like a child looking back at the fight between two adults.

These are two very simple and clear movements, but to be able to achieve the speed mentioned in the volume with the body of sealed Qi is a miracle fused from two parts.

"If they could suddenly appear anywhere they wanted, there would be no need to choose such an extreme time." Black Cat stood on the table and said, while the meditating young man quietly looked at the top of the hall and paced.

"So Huanlou is not a collective spiritual realm... but a real spiritual realm, those silver candle trees, dew peach trees and clear moon..." Pei Ye chose a sentence for a while, "Even if it is virtual, it is also virtual within reality. , rather than the emptiness in the heart.”

"The Yang family crossed the water, and the realm I entered is the same." Black Cat said.

Pei Ye slowly raised his hand and touched the air. It was empty. They had truly experienced the legendary world, but they still couldn't find any trace of it.

"The bedroom should be the most difficult place to assassinate." Pei Ye thought, "This is the queen's residence. Dangerous swordsmen sit in front of the steps at night, and there are more heavy guards outside the palace... The queen is leaving here Many other times, the defenses around you should be weaker... and more visible."

If Grandpa Yue's sword was any faster, the assassin would be unable to leave this dormitory, and no one would ever see the blood burning in the rain.

The black cat was quiet for a while: "Maybe the only place they are sure Wei Qing Ju will be is here."

Pei Ye was leaning on the pillar and thinking. At this moment, his ears suddenly moved and he pressed the hilt of the sword. The kitten's eyes also moved slightly.

In the silence of Lin Shuxue, there was a strange sound of stepping on the snow outside the hall. It should be the footsteps of people, but it broke apart, mixed with the sound of wood hitting the stone slabs. It was light and heavy, as if it was staggering, but there was something A strange pattern and cycle. It came from a different direction than Pei Ye. It didn't come from the right path, but approached from the side and behind.

Pei Ye and Black Cat looked at each other, and Black Cat jumped onto the palace beam. Pei Ye went out to meet the noise, and when they came to the courtyard outside the palace, they saw that there was a small side door on the wall of the rear courtyard. The sound was approaching the door, getting closer and closer, and the weird sound of scraping the snow became clearer, and was accompanied by a slight gasp.

After about a moment, the sound stopped outside the door. I tried to push the door leaf gently, but only got a soft sound of the chain.

The people outside didn't seem to be surprised. There was only a slight sigh. After two breaths, there were several sounds of wood hitting stone, and then the sound of gasping became louder, just at the height of a foot and a half of stone.

Then the sound seemed to have paused for a while, and then with a strong "Hey!", a slender hand climbed onto the eaves of the wall, its knuckles clasped so tightly that it turned white, and then it kicked twice, knocking it hard. The wall made a sound, and finally stepped on a bump or depression, and a head with long hair and half of its shoulders rose up.

This climb seemed to be really difficult for her, and her face was red from holding back. She lowered her head and looked for a suitable landing point on the ground, and then found that it was a little far away from the bluestone under the wall of the courtyard, and she couldn't help but frown and feel distressed.

But the next moment she pursed her lips again, stretched her whole body upward, pressed her upper body against the wall, and pushed her lower body up. Then she stared at the stone half a foot away, and slowly stood up with her arms. Come on, I want to just rub it against the eaves of the wall.

Pei Ye couldn't help but ask: "Want to help?"

"Ahhhhhh!!!" The girl on the wall shook violently, her already unstable body was greatly unbalanced, and she fell down, falling into the snow with a "plop".

Pei Ye looked at her motionless, and the black cat jumped down from the eaves and landed on his shoulder, also silent.

Only the fallen girl's face was really pale with fear. She raised her head, and the tall young man in front of her with a slightly frowning eyebrow was looking down at her with his sword. The chill brought by the iron on his waist seemed to be heavier than in winter. He squatted on his shoulders. The raccoon slave with black body and blue eyes is also cold and cold, just like the one in the legend...

But the next moment she suddenly recognized this familiar face - the one she had just seen...

"Your legs are about to fall off." The young man said.

"Ah?...Oh!" She sat up and lowered her head to fix the wooden limbs. When she raised her head again, she stared at Pei Ye with her eyes open, biting her lower lip nervously.

Pei Ye indeed recognized this face.

He had not seen many faces since entering the palace, and this was indeed one of them. It was the maid behind Sixth Princess Li Youlu whom I just saw in Merlin.

He was about the same age or one or two years older than Pei Ye, with a delicate appearance. His two pupils reminded Pei Ye of sparrows in the mountains, and his expression was a little panicked. She was still wearing the same clothes from the morning, and her hands were blown red by the wind and snow during the climb. The crutch was gone and replaced with a wooden limb that seemed to fit well.

"What are you doing here?" Pei Ye asked.

"I, I... am lost." The girl stumbled.

Pei Ye stopped talking and just looked at her.

After a few breaths, the girl became a little panicked and said cautiously: "Um, um... are you the guard here? I, I didn't come in on purpose..."

"Didn't you climb over on rocks on purpose?"

"..."

Pei Ye glanced at the wall with messy snow tracks, then at her panting face, and said, "Does His Highness the Sixth Prince know that you are here?"

"No! I don't know!" the girl said quickly, "I came here without telling the Sixth Highness... Sir, you can do whatever you want with me, Your Highness doesn't know about it!"

When she said the word "disposal", her tone was obviously trembling, and her hands turned white as she held the corners of her clothes.

Pei Ye was silent for a moment. He originally thought that the emperor's personal attendant would be a big figure in the palace, just like "the seventh-rank official of the prime minister, concierge," but the huge and solemn Daming Palace did not seem to be what he imagined. He lowered his eyes and glanced at the girl, and said: "What can I do to you? I'm here to investigate the case. You do your thing and I do mine. Just don't disturb me."

After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the palace.

The girl was stunned, as if she couldn't believe that she was turning the page like this. Pei Ye walked back to the palace, and after two breaths, he followed her with strange and somewhat hectic "steps". She gasped slightly and said: "You, you... let me go." Already?"

Pei Ye was a little amused and turned around and said, "Since you are afraid of me, if you don't run away quickly, you still chase me and ask - what if I change my mind?"

Seeing him smile, the girl immediately lost her fear and smiled brightly: "You won't change. I don't think you look like a bad person."

She walked over slowly and said hesitantly: "You...what are you checking here?"

"Do you know anything about the murder of the Queen?"

"..." The girl was startled, "I am eighteen years old, I was not born yet at that time."

"oh."

"And the palace is not allowed to mention it. No one knows about it. Isn't this a big unsolved case? It's been so long, how are you going to investigate?...I see that you are not very old."

"The people who did the case know that I can find out if they are still alive."

Pei Ye glanced at her panting face and sat down on the ground: "Sit down and have a rest - what's your name?"

Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!

The girl supported the wall with her hands and slowly lowered her body to sit on the ground: "My name is Meng'er, and you, um... I heard from His Highness that your name is Pei Ye. It seems that you defeated the Fourth Highness in front of the Suzaku Gate?"

She looked at the boy curiously and cautiously, with a somewhat novel look.

Pei Ye nodded. It was almost noon. He took out a cold bun from his bag and ate it: "Yes, it happened a year ago."

"How did you fight?" Meng'er was a little curious and made two inexplicable gestures, "I heard that you used a sword... weren't you afraid of hurting someone?"

"Without much fighting, I just used a sword and I cut his throat." Pei Ye said, "Of course, injuries are inevitable in the ring. If the emperor hadn't saved him in time, I would have accidentally killed him."

Meng'er's eyes widened for a moment, looking very shocked, and she didn't speak for a long time.

But after a while, she stared at Pei Ye's rolling Adam's apple, tilted her head and said, "You...are from outside, right?"

"Outside the palace? Yes." Pei Ye chewed the bun.

"Then, aren't you a eunuch?" The girl blushed slightly and looked at him curiously.

"..." Pei Ye looked at her and chewed the bun, "What do you mean?"

"It's not interesting," the girl looked at him with a slight frown, "I don't think there is any difference - well, if she were not a eunuch, would her skin be darker?"

"There are also white ones." Pei Ye didn't really want to discuss this topic, so he swallowed the bun and asked, "You haven't said anything yet, what are you doing here?"

"..."

"Um?"

"Then I'll tell you, but don't say it in the palace." Meng'er frowned and said seriously.

"I don't tell anyone."

"Well, I came in to find... if there was any place I could get out of the city."

Pei Ye didn't react for a moment: "City? What city? Palace?"

"Shenjing City."

"..."

"Because, I once heard a rumor told by an old palace maid. She said that when they were young, someone secretly guessed that the Empress's Mingyue Palace was directly connected to Shenhu City, because the Empress was not only as beautiful as Luo Shen, but also her deeds were astonishing. "It's as ethereal as the Goddess of Luo," Meng'er said in a low voice, "So, I just wanted to find a way out of the city."

Shenhu City is a huge auxiliary city in the north of Shenjing. It was built during the years when the barren people went south. In order to buffer the enemy's offensive into the capital, it got its name because it is located on the bank of Longhu Lake. Although the horse hooves of the deserted man did not reach the city in the end, Deep Lake City remained as solemn and majestic as before. It was an empty and desolate old city. Even though people had moved in for more than 20 years, it still had a reputation of being desolate.

It is more than four hundred miles away from Shenjing.

So Pei Ye couldn't help but look a little amused and looked at her: "What is a 'direct connection'? What kind of road are you looking for? Do you think there is a tunnel dug under the palace to connect it to four hundred miles away? - Lingxuan is forbidden in the palace, and formations such as those so close to the end of the world cannot be performed. "

The girl was a little confused, looking at him with a pair of smart brown eyes: "I...I don't know..."

"..."

Pei Ye was also stunned. It was at this moment that he suddenly realized that the girl in front of him had grown up in the palace, and all common sense in the outside world was very unfamiliar to her.

Pei Ye believed that he was born in a remote mountain, and here, although it was the center of the Tang Dynasty's Shenjing, it was still another kind of remoteness that was isolated from the world.

Pei Ye didn't say any more. This rumor was also a clue for him, so he tilted his head and said, "Then did you find anything?"

Meng'er was silent for a moment and shook her head.

She seemed a little depressed, and whispered after a while: "You are right, I don't understand anything, so naturally I don't know what to look for... I'm sorry, I made you laugh."

"It's not bad, it's not as funny as the way you just fell."

"Ah?!" The girl could easily break out of her boredom and laugh, but she didn't have the coquettish look of an ordinary girl. She just said angrily, "Why are you talking like this?"

Pei Ye saw her smiling, then raised her sword and stood up: "Since you mentioned it, let me look for it."
