The palace on the water shrouded in fireflies, the officials going up to court, and the weird singing of birds that seem to want to imitate human speech, all set off the atmosphere of this underground space to be ghostly.

From Ji Que's point of view, those officials were talking and laughing there, no different from real people.

But that's the weirdest part.

Because they look like they've lived here for many, many years.

If these people have been living underground, what would they eat?

Those tree-like people before?

For a moment, he couldn't help being curious about the emperor inside.

He wanted to see what kind of superficial freak the emperor here was.

Ning Hongyu and Lin Xiangzhi were also curious.

Although Lin Xiangzhi was scared, she was also curious.

Although she knew curiosity would kill the cat, she just couldn't help it.

At this time, Lin Xiangzhi pointed to a room next to her.

There are some clothes hanging here.

These clothes turned out to be red, green, and blue official uniforms.

So the three of them tacitly chose their official uniforms and put them on swaggeringly.

To be honest, seeing these official uniforms hanging in this dark room always gives people the illusion of hanging corpses.

After that, Ning Hongyu came out in red official robes, and Ji Que and Lin Xiangzhi came out in green official robes.

Ji Que reminded Ning Hongyu to keep a low profile, but the other party said he liked red.

He was speechless for a moment.

This female Shangfeng likes red so much, he once doubted whether the underpants would be red all year round and would not change colors.

As a result, the three swaggered to the rear of the group of officials, and the process was surprisingly smooth.

Someone nearby saw them and didn't say much. Some officials even showed respect in their eyes when they saw Ning Hongyu's red robe.

Here, they can clearly hear what these officials are talking about.

They seemed to be really talking about major affairs in the court, such as where there was a disaster, where there was a bandit infestation, and some complained about the empty granary.

In a vague way, the three heard these people talking about the political affairs of a dynasty called "You Country".

Because he knows so little about this world, Ji Que has accumulated a lot of knowledge during this period, among which there seems to be a description of You Country.

That was a long time ago. It can be said that such a country existed before the establishment of the Dasheng Dynasty.

You country is not big, for a long time, it can be said that it lived in the gap between the two big countries, Dasheng Dynasty and Yue Kingdom.

Such a small country, in this situation, can be said to be destroyed with a flick of a finger.

But You Country has never been destroyed, on the contrary, for a time, Dasheng Dynasty and Yue Country were quite afraid.

Because it is said that the ruler of You Country is not a human being.

That's about all Ji Que knows.

To be honest, the history of this world is very long, and many places are also very vague, like a layer of misty fog, making it hard to see clearly.

At this moment, a burst of suona sounded suddenly, frightening Lin Xiangzhi's official hat.

And yes, her cat ears almost pushed the hat up.

After a while, the crowd walked towards the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

The crowd's discussion quickly diminished until it disappeared. In the flickering light of fireflies, this group of people also looked like silent ghosts.

The three of Ji Que followed behind, and finally came to the rumored "Taihe Palace".

This Hall of Supreme Harmony is very spacious and tall, even though there are so many people standing inside, it still gives people a sense of emptiness.

The palace lanterns reflect the scene inside, and we can see the vicissitudes and antiquity of this building.

It is impossible for this palace to exist for more than a hundred years.

On the hundreds of jade steps, there is not a throne, but a huge statue.

This sculpture is very magnificent, with a face at least as high as a three-story building, and it looks weird.

It's hard for Ji Que to describe what he saw.

Its body is distorted, like a huge earthworm, with a human face with big eyes, and you can even see some traces of pigs in it.

Just from the length and width of the body, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a dragon body, but your first reaction would not be to connect it with a dragon.

But earthworms.

Huge earthworms with clusters of ominous white hairs.

According to legend, the ruler of You Country is not human.

Could it be this kind of thing?

The tufts of white hair and mildew stains on the skin looked particularly disgusting.

And right in front of the statue, there are cages covered with cloth.

From time to time, there will be that weird bird song in the cage, and I don't need to think about it to know what it is.

Qixia Temple is all here?

The foreign body will bring them here, for what?

The three of Ji Que mixed in the crowd and did not dare to act rashly.

Because beside the sculpture, there are still four long-waisted species standing.

They are like guards and eunuchs, guarding the "emperor".

These four long-waisted ones were very similar to the one they killed, with slender waists like noodles and large eyes, occupying almost half of the entire face.

Under the dim light, their huge pupils exude a breathtaking brilliance, like a yellow-brown abyss, as if a few more glances can suck one's soul into it.

They glanced at the officials one by one, with a great sense of oppression.

Both Ji Que and Ning Hongyu are courageous people.

Of course, this is a statement of high emotional intelligence.

To put it not so high in emotional intelligence, it is that both of them are a bit head-headed and don't know how to live or die.

But even the top two don't think they are the opponents of these four things at the moment.

Ning Hongyu felt that it was difficult to kill only the outer one, as the true energy in his body was exhausted many times, let alone four.

At this time, only the Venerable Chen Laoshi made a move, and they had a slight chance of winning.

But Chen Laoshi is still missing.

In all likelihood, he wasn't around at all.

They are baits, but the fisherman is an old man, who may fall asleep while fishing, or be entangled in other things, and have no time for others.

At this time, the group of officials began to go to court.

The difference from when they were discussing before was that these people were no longer speaking human language at this time, but a language that the three of them could not understand.

"Hey, you know the evil."

"Acridine makes the same point."

These officials reported the situation one by one with a cautious expression.

After a red-robed official in front of Ji Que and the other three finished speaking, the ongoing court discussion suddenly fell silent.

Finished?

Just as Ji Que thought about it, he suddenly found that many officials were looking at them.

Especially on Ning Hongyu beside him.

Looking over at the same time, there were also those four long-waisted species.

Obviously, everyone is waiting for the minister in red to speak?

Ji Que secretly said: "Damn, did I tell you not to wear red?"

As a result, at this moment, Ning Hongyu cupped his hands and replied, "Gao Yu Shouhu, Gai Bang."

"攭攮, 櫱."

After a while, Ning Hongyu finished speaking, and everyone looked back up.

Ji Que and Lin Xiangzhi were shocked.

Ji Que looked at Ning Hongyu, with only one meaning in his eyes - "You can even speak this kind of ghost dialect?".

Ning Hongyu replied with lip language: "No, I just said it casually, I didn't expect to get away with it."

Ji Que: "."

Looking at the four long-waisted species and the weird-looking sculpture, Ji Que's plan was to shake people after the underdogs passed by.

This kind of thing should be played by that honest guy.

But at this time, a long-waisted species lifted the cloth from a cage.

Sure enough, there was a Yuren in the cage.

Lin Xiangzhi's eyes widened suddenly.

It can be seen that this feathered man is dead.

Only half of his body remained, with broken feathers hanging on his face, and his flesh and blood turned black.

Lin Xiangzhi couldn't recognize who it was, but the blue rag stuck to her arm still showed that this was a member of Qixia Temple.

The cage was opened, and a red-robed official at the head stepped forward.

This red-robed official had a hulking back, but his face was white and clean. It looked as if his head had been removed from someone else's and put back on it.

He first bowed respectfully to the towering sculpture, then came to the cage, took out half of the "feather man" respectfully, and muttered something.

"A lot of things."

"If you know the truth, you will know Rui."

Weird words resounded in the palace, and immediately afterward, the feathered people in the surrounding cages obviously felt uneasy, and made the sound of birdsong and big birds flapping their wings.

The official held Yuren's corpse with both hands and paced on it.

If everything before was like a court meeting, the current scene is like a weird sacrifice.

In the end, the official stood in front of the sculpture and lifted the corpse in his hands high.

"Yu, ji!"

The next moment, the huge eyeballs of the statue moved, and dozens of "tongues" wriggling like earthworms protruded from the mouth, and the corpse was sucked into the mouth at once.

Even Ning Hongyu was taken aback by such a scene.

Because from her eyes, this thing was not alive before.

But it came alive in an instant and ate something.

After that, the white hair around that face suddenly surged, and scarlet blood flowed out from the huge pupils.

The officials below suddenly became agitated.

The long-waisted species also seemed a little uneasy, and one of them quickly tore off the cloth of the other cage.

"Dayong Xuxie!"

The official enshrined before suddenly spoke.

Seeing it, Ji Que couldn't help but ask, "What did he say?"

Ning Hongyu translated: "We have to eat live ones."

Seeing the Yuren in the cage, Lin Xiangzhi's hat was a bit higher, and her eyes were fixed on there.

This feathered man was complete, even wearing a neat Taoist robe.

The bird's beak occupies almost one-third of the face, but his eyes have a kind of tranquility.

Looking at the clothes and eyes, Lin Xiangzhi already knew that this was the master.

Is it Master who died this time?

She knew that in this case, there was really nothing she could do.

She couldn't help but look around, only hoping that the legendary Venerable Conquering Demon would appear and change everything.

But she saw no sign of it.

At this moment, Ji Que's voice floated softly, saying, "Turn into a cat later, jump on me as much as you can, I won't slow down."

"ah?"

Before Lin Xiangzhi could react, she saw Ji Que and Ning Hongyu walking forward.

The officials in front were a little dissatisfied after being squeezed out, but when they saw Ning Hongyu's red robe, they immediately quieted down and looked respectful.

But Ji Que and Lin Xiangzhi endured more stares.

For a moment, Lin Xiangzhi was in a daze.

Are these two people not afraid of death?

At this time, the temple master in the cage has been lifted out.

He was pinched by the neck by the official, like a goose being raptured, he could only flap his wings.

Who would have thought that the one-view master who used to be the master of the natal realm of the five realms would now be manipulated so humiliatingly.

The hulking official pinched his neck, lifted him up, and leaned towards the statue.

The weird statue's eyes were still bleeding, but Ning Hongyu could feel that it had turned back into a dead thing again.

"Yu, ji!"

Seeing that the officials followed suit, they lifted Lin Xiangzhi's master to the "earthworm".

As a result, the next moment, he suddenly felt that his hands were empty.

The official turned his head quickly, only to see a green-robed official hooking the sacrifice with an iron hook, and then ran away carrying three iron cages beside him.

The remaining two cages were carried away by a red-robed official.

Until then, a roar sounded, and the four long-waisted species reacted, and chased after them with long legs.

But at this time, Ji Que had rushed down the steps.

Before the officials had time to react, they were sent flying out with a bang bang bang.

Hurrah!

That was the sound made by the long-waisted species' long legs running about.

They are at least three feet tall, and their legs are not short. One step is equal to six steps between Ji Que and Ning Hongyu.

But at this moment, Ji Que's legs were shaking crazily and turned into a phantom. If this long-waisted guy takes one step, he can run ten steps.

His hair fluttered in an instant, and his tight face fluctuated like water.

Lin Xiangzhi grasped the iron cage and transformed back into a cat body. At this moment, her body has completely turned into a straight line.

The wind was howling all around, and she couldn't even open her eyes.

Yes, without any hesitation, Ji Que opened fire just after running a certain distance, and the Zhenyuan Lian behind him fluttered like fire.

Ning Hongyu stuck to the other two cages and followed, her legs also swung into phantoms, and her plump chest shook violently.

This is the second time she has found this thing to be in the way.

The first time was also when I was with Ji Que and fought with Xu Qingqing.

Ji Que was in the whole area, and there was still a cat hanging, but she only needed to carry two cages, which definitely took advantage of her.

But Ning Hongyu soon discovered that she was gradually falling behind Ji Que.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Ji Que, who was running wildly in front of him, was like a lunatic, rushing out with gusts of wind.

When he rushed to the woods where he came in, he scratched several human trees and broke them on the spot, leaving only two legs dangling underneath.

But what can be clearly seen is that the eyes in the bark are full of relief.

The long waist is not slow, biting and chasing after him.

Seeing that he was about to be approached, Ning Hongyu swam on land and rushed into the crack with the cage.

This underground mountain crevice is quite spacious for them, but it seems crowded for long-waisted ones.

But what Ning Hongyu didn't expect was that the speed of those long-waisted species was not slow after entering, because their bodies were as flexible as snakes in an instant, and they could continue to accelerate by squeezing the mountain wall.

Ning Hongyu breathed heavily and strode her legs frantically. The demon knife behind her came out of its sheath with a buzzing sound, and followed behind her.

If she is caught up, she can only fight!
