The villain has been playing badly for ten years
Chapter 17: A Secluded Realm
In a blink of an eye, it was almost the hour of Xu, and we arrived at the so-called Wuzipo. The sky was gloomy, with a faint purple haze lingering.
But under the dark sky, the scenery was extremely terrifying.
This place is deserted and uninhabited, worthy of being called a mass grave. Crows crowed, the trees were dim and the wind was gloomy. Looking around, there was no life at all.
Ning Xiusu held up a bright lantern, and walked with Pu Boyu one in front and one behind, followed by a large group of guards.
Suddenly, a thick fog rose up, and Pu Boyu shuddered: "I'm freezing."
The fog was so thick that they couldn't tell each other apart. Ning Xiusu broke off a branch and asked him to grab the other end, but he didn't respond for a long time.
The green mist is blinding and everything is blurry and unclear.
By the time he reacted, Pu Boyu and the large army had disappeared. He suddenly felt uneasy and shouted a few times, but no one answered.
Oh my god, this kid is missing?
Ning Xiusu wandered around but didn't see anyone. The entire cemetery was filled with the occasional screams of black crows, which was extremely eerie.
Ning Xiusu was startled when he suddenly felt someone patting his shoulder. In the dim light of the lantern, he saw that the person was wearing green clothes and had a face as beautiful as snow. It was Dan Yulang.
He breathed a sigh of relief: "Did you see the person walking with me?"
"Haven't you always been walking alone?" I don't know if it was an illusion, but Dan Yulang's voice sounded a little ethereal.
This place was too strange, and Ning Xiusu was about to back out: "Since the person is missing, I have to go look for him..."
Dan Yulang chuckled and came to hold his hand.
Ning Xiusu felt a chill in his spine as he retracted his hand and asked cautiously, "What are you doing?"
"Aren't you curious about why I asked you to come here?"
"why?"
"Come with me, I'll take you somewhere."
"Wait a moment, I'll find someone first..."
Tan Yulang's upturned eyes were extremely charming. He stepped forward to stop him, but his eyes were filled with coldness: "Your Highness, I only have an appointment with you."
This Dan Yulang is so weird and evil, he is really evil.
Ning Xiusu was not a timid person in normal times, but since he was already here, he decided to make up his mind and see what this person was up to.
"In that case, let's go."
After he and Dan Yulang walked a few steps, the thick fog had thinned a lot, and he saw a mottled bronze door prominently in the distance.
I don't know if it's because of the hazy fog, but the arched brackets and corners make it look unusually tall. This is actually a palace, but there is no keyhole in front of the door. As if it sensed someone approaching, the door opened silently.
Ning Xiusu was surprised: "The key you gave me isn't for this door?"
Dan Yulang smiled and remained silent, appearing unfathomable.
Seeing Ning Xiusu paused in front of the door, looking uneasy, he asked with a smile: "Why, you don't dare to go in?"
"Yes, I'm a coward, you go first."
"Your Majesty, although I don't know what you are like in the real world, you are really interesting in the domain world."
Dan Yulang's voice was low and charming. After hearing it, he got goose bumps for some reason.
Until you push the door open and step inside.
What meets the eye is a threshold space that seems small yet extremely grand. The surroundings are spotlessly white with silver threads floating around. There are a few old pine trees that are simple and elegant, with a desk under the trees.
In the center of the space, there stood a hollow carved gold-painted sundial, with eight ancient dragon-shaped beasts coiled around the base. Suddenly, a copper bead fell to the ground from the mouth of one of the ancient beasts.
"Chong——" The sound was simple and quiet.
Hearing the sudden sound, Ning Xiu was startled, as if he had just come to his senses and felt a little dizzy.
When I looked back, the door was gone.
This place is as evil as Tan Yulang...
Dan Yulang walked over to the desk and said in a voice as low and soft as silk, "I call this place Tongyou. You can also think of it as a recorder."
After saying this, he moved the golden toad on the table, and the sundial turned. Ning Xiusu saw a vast expanse of white all around him. Suddenly, cars honked their horns, and the streets were bustling, as if he was in a first-tier city.
However, he soon discovered that he was isolated from his surroundings like a transparent wall and could not establish any connection.
Reaching out to touch the fruit stall, it felt like touching a 5D holographic screen. I couldn't help but exclaim: "Interesting, you've got something really high-tech going on here."
"I didn't do this, and I don't know who did it."
Ning Xiu walked forward slowly, and the street scene on the screen changed accordingly.
"Why did you bring me here?"
He went straight to the point and didn't bother to beat around the bush.
"Naturally, I'll find a friend to help me solve the mystery here."
Dan Yulang's mischievous tone, when he used the word "friend", sounded somewhat provocative.
Ning Xiusu walked to the old pine tree and said, "You said I was disrupting order, so how can I help you?"
Dan Yulang said with a smile: "The prince is of noble status, thoughtful, and most importantly, clean."
"Clean?" He laughed and picked up the pine nuts to play with them. The pine nuts were wet and a little prickly, but they seemed like real things.
"You mean to say I don't have any interference."
"Yes, after all, these scenes come from every orderly person who enters the domain."
Tan Yulang said in a charming voice, "Everything they see and hear will be recorded, except you."
Ning Xiusu was always nonchalant: "That only proves that I'm not a time traveler."
"No, this means you are free in the domain."
"So?" Ning Xiusu leaned against the old pine tree and saw the sunlight shining through the gaps in the pine leaves, which looked very real.
Tan Yulang appeared beside him without him noticing, and suddenly touched his face with his cold hand. This kind of shady behavior of a prostitute was truly chilling.
Ning Xiusu frowned slightly and stepped back: "If you have something to say, just talk. Don't touch me."
"You have a wound on your face, who did it?"
"This seems to have nothing to do with our topic."
Tan Yulang's eyes were full of charm and allure: "Indeed, but I still want to give you a welcome gift."
As the sundial rotated, red curtains and silk robes appeared all around, clearly the day when the immortal was drunk.
From what Dan Yulang saw, Hanamibai was sneaking around in the backstage, with his hands clasped together on his forehead, muttering: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
After saying that, he actually put a packet of white medicine powder in the wine bottle prepared for him.
Then, as the image showed, he went crazy and fell into the water, while Hanamibai just stood by and watched.
She really poisoned me... Ning Xiusu recalled Qiao'er's words, and suddenly, he felt as if his heart was squeezed hard, and the mountains and seas turned upside down, and then returned to calm.
"Disappointed?" Tan Yulang laughed playfully. "I think someone like the prince, who could easily stir up trouble but stays in a corner, wouldn't trust talent easily."
"Heh," Ning Xiusu snorted and chuckled coldly, "I don't know what your real purpose is, but using such a clumsy method, it must be more than just instigation."
"My Lord, believe it or not, I am only telling you what I saw."
"Since you know so much, why don't you explain the Three Flower Temple?"
Dan Yulang raised his eyebrows and smiled: "It seems that Your Highness doesn't quite understand the rules of the domain?"
"What rules?"
"Killing." Tan Yulang said softly, "The lawful and the variable have always killed each other, and the Three Flowers Temple is just one of them."
"You're being a little too abstract."
"That's true, so Your Majesty should stay away from those people."
"Really?" Ning Xiusu frowned coldly, "You mean Hua Jianbai is related to the Three Flowers Temple."
"Your Highness will have to find out about this yourself, but I can tell you that the Three Flower Temple has been destroyed."
Ning Xiusu had obviously listened to a bunch of nonsense.
Seeing him about to leave, Dan Yulang said calmly, "Anyway, you have the Water Key. Next time we meet, you'll have to find the entrance yourself."
The water key he mentioned should be the brass key.
As soon as the voice fell, the bronze door reappeared.
Ning Xiusu said nothing more and walked out of the secluded door.
When we came out of Tongyou, it was already dawn.
It happened that a drizzle began to fall in the fog, and the lanterns on the ground were extinguished. The raindrops were cold, and they fell on the face and seemed to touch the heart.
What he had just seen and heard was like a lingering cold fog. His heart was filled with mixed emotions and his thoughts were like a tangled mess.
"Your Majesty~"
There was a loud voice in the distance, and Ning Xiusu calmed down and went over there.
The people in the yamen were holding torches and shouting.
Wang Bu Shou, the world's number one detective, suddenly spotted something in the misty rain, and quickly said:
"Ah, it's the prince, I found it, I found it!"
The county magistrate from the government office hurried forward with his big belly: "Your Highness, are you okay?"
Ning Xiusu couldn't help but feel strange. How could even the government office be alarmed in just one night?
The palace guards also rushed over after hearing the news. Du Gui, sweating profusely, breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Oh, thank God, Your Highness, I'm glad you're safe..."
"what happened?"
Du Gui said, "You've been missing for three days. The people in the capital thought you had met with an accident."
"Where is Pu Boyu?" Ning Xiusu asked again.
"He lost the prince and ran away because he was afraid of being punished."
"What?" Ning Xiu's eyes were as deep as the abyss, and they became a little gloomy. "Hua Jianbai?"
The guards and the yamen officials looked at each other in bewilderment. Du Gui said, "Your Highness, they all ran away together."
Is he really running away out of guilt?
Ning Xiusu didn't ask any more questions, but just closed his eyes slightly and changed the subject.
"Sir County Magistrate, how is the case at the Three Flowers Temple going?"
The county magistrate saluted and said, "Two days ago, the Tianzhao Prefecture took over this case, saying it was related to the palace and that they wanted to investigate several cases together."
It seems that nothing is happening now...
He nodded, then said coldly: "Let's go back home."
