hell in disguise

The relationship between King Luohou and the Immortal Medicine Sect was not aboveboard, so people who came to Shura Dao could not directly enter the city of King Luohou, but were arranged to enter a hidden palace among the ancient springs in the mountains and forests near the king's city.Between the complicated pillars dyed golden by the bright sunlight, countless slender Shura dressed in light gauze go back and forth like erratic elves, and the crystal clear fresh fruits are served on delicate silver plates. Held by six fair and slender hands, the beautiful face beyond gender is covered by a thin veil.

Shura is martial, and these Shuras are too slender, so they are almost destined to be wives and slaves from birth, but in such a large palace, they are just the role of waiters, and some of them will never see each other in their lifetime. On the side of King Shura.

It's just a group of canaries raised to show the power and dignity of the king.It is no different from those court ladies and concubines in the imperial palace in the world.

The integration of the palace and the courtyard is so perfect that in the atrium, you can also see the pool with floating water lilies, and the peacocks walk in pairs next to the soft long caves covered with colorful silk.Within three steps, you will be able to drink luscious fruit pulp wine and eat delicacies.For many monsters who are used to eating and sleeping in the mountains and forests on weekdays, it is like a fairyland. Even the disciples of the Immortal Medicine School who are used to living on Penglai Island are surprised by the comfort and luxury here.

Alido was covered with two layers of feather coats, lying comfortably on a soft couch next to the hot spring, holding a glass wine glass in his hand, sipping the wine in it.It is said that Shura doesn't like to drink alcohol, but in order to entertain Ashyun and his subordinates, he specially transported the immortal wine from the Four Heavenly Kings that only heavenly people can drink.Alido had never known that liquids could be so delicious in his life. Once he tasted it, he would be addicted and couldn't stop.After drinking, my head is slightly dizzy, but my whole body is slightly hot, so comfortable that I almost want to groan.In the half-dream and half-awake state, it seems that I can no longer distinguish myself from the whole universe, as if all the troubles have disappeared and are not worth mentioning.

Extreme relaxation and enjoyment, Shura Dao can do this, so what about Heaven?

It's just that these fine wines were originally used to entertain Ah Xuyun, but he has been here for two days, but he still hasn't seen the shadow of Yaoxian.

Not only him, I'm afraid Mu Shangji also failed to meet the mysterious fairy.

On Penglai Island, the man in white who rescued Yan Fei at the critical moment... Could it be the real Axuyun?So who was the first to enter the entrance?

There was a rustling whisper next to him, Alido lazily opened his eyelids, and saw the three wife-slave Shura who were passing by behind the colonnade on the other side seemed to be glancing at him, whispering Laughter, seems to be talking about something.The white veils on their bodies are so thin that one can almost see their graceful curves and the six ivory-like white and tender arms that fit Maya ghost's aesthetics.

Arido showed them a provocative and naughty smile, and the three Shura smiled more and more lightly, but then ran away at a faster pace as if to repay their embarrassment.

"Hmph, you really are so hungry and thirsty that even Shura won't let you go?"

Alido knew who it was without looking back.The only one who can enter this courtyard is Mu Shangji.

After all, he is Mu Shangji's "captive".

"Why do I hear a sour smell?" Alido curled his mouth and half turned his head to look at Mu Shangji.

The latter glanced at him, snorted softly, reached out to pick up the silver wine jug from the ivory table next to him, poured himself a glass, and put it to his lips to sip.

Alido found it very novel to see him drinking in a gentle manner.In hell, the ghosts always drink like cattle, and they can't wait to finish a bowl in one gulp. Sometimes, if they move too violently, half of the bowl will be thrown out. "You seem to be in a bad mood?" Alido stretched his waist and asked.

Mu Shangji said, "How do you know that I'm in a bad mood?"

"You haven't taken a sip of so many heavenly wines in the past two days, and now you suddenly drink it. There must be a reason?"

Mu Shangji didn't speak.

"Did you see that stupid General Shura again?"

Mu Shangji laughed and shook his head.

"That means Xianjun hasn't shown up yet, and then you were humiliated by another beauty wearing a mask?"

Mu Shangji didn't know how to answer, why he could guess this?Do you have such good guesses?

"Hahaha, you don't have to worry, it's just that I heard some waiters talking about it. Did you quarrel with the altar owner surnamed Bai?"

"You don't need to worry about being a prisoner. You should think about how to save my life after I meet Xianjun."

From Mu Shangji's conversations with other people these days, Alido can vaguely glimpse the complicated relationship between the two mysterious sects.Although the four altar masters seem to have the same status on the surface, in fact, the degree of reliance on them by Xianjun is very different.Mu Shangji and that Bai Luen were obviously evenly matched, and each had its own faction.Even those sect disciples who practice medicine anonymously on land, many of them are actually the eyes of the two of them. They often compete secretly in major towns. The one who wins can manage the medical shop in that town, and the one who loses Withdrew quietly.

Before Xianjun handed over the matter of arresting Yan Fei who escaped to Mu Shangji, it was obvious that Bai Luen was a little dissatisfied.The gentleness she showed when facing the fairy king, but when she faced Mu Shangji, she turned into hiding needles in the cotton, using the fairy king's order to prevaricate, not telling Mu Shangji where the fairy king was at this time, nor telling the truth. What is his next plan.

But Mu Shangji thought that it was because he failed in the task of finding Yan Fei, and also exposed the location of Penglai Island and attracted heavenly soldiers, which caused heavy losses to the Immortal Medicine School, and thus lost the trust of the Immortal Monarch.Because of this, he blamed himself very much. Although everything was normal on the surface, Alido had been with him for a while after all, and he had already discovered that when he thought no one was paying attention to him, his slender eyes would look slightly depressed.Mu Shangji would not have imagined that perhaps the discovery of Penglai Island by the Heavenly Soldiers was just the opportunity that Xianjun needed, an opportunity to drop Qian Na and make a complete decision on Yan Fei.So even he, Alido, can be regarded as being used.

It can reverse the disadvantages and make the enemy use it for itself.It can be seen that this Asuyun is indeed a good player in manipulating people's hearts. It's a pity not to be a red impermanence.

But Alido didn't intend to break through this layer.Mu Shangji and Bai Luen are at odds, which is in his favor.Bai Luen must be in charge of guarding the soul-absorbing bead that holds the qianna, and Mu Shangji probably doesn't know about it...

Arido changed his mind slightly, and said, "I'm almost growing hairy here every day, should you take me out for a walk occasionally? You're abusing prisoners."

Mu Shangji glanced at him, "I see that you are living well every day."

"Tsk tsk tsk, that sour smell is coming again. Amu, I just looked at others a few more times. If you always do this, I will misunderstand that you are interested in me~"

Ah... wood? !What the hell is it called? !Mu Shangji had already seen through that this guy didn't have a single serious word in his mouth, so he calmed down this time, and snorted, "You Maya ghosts are all so... narcissistic?"

Arido turned over on the recliner, propping his head on one hand and laughing ecstatically, "I am a majestic third prince, how can I stay in the Uninterrupted Palace if I am not narcissistic?"

"Don't go out yet, wait until Xianjun comes back."

"Come back?" Alido raised his eyebrows, "Did he really come to Asura Dao?"

Mu Shangji nodded, probably because he felt that there was no need to hide it from him.Anyway, it's obvious that I haven't seen him for so many days.

"He is with Yan Fei?"

Mu Shangji glanced at him with a warning look, and said slowly, "You shouldn't know, don't ask. This is the way to survive." After speaking, he got up to leave.He still needs to discuss with several ministers under King Luo Hou about opening the passage to the realm of nothingness...

"Hello!" Alido held Mu Shangji's hand as soon as he stretched out his hand.As if being scalded, Mu Shangji withdrew his hand all of a sudden, slightly annoyed, "Speak up when you have something to say, don't always touch your hands!"

"Today is the third day, don't forget my antidote." Alido blinked his right eye at him, and said in a provocative tone deliberately, "I'll wait for you in the room tonight?"

When he said this, he deliberately amplified his voice. A Shura wife slave was passing by, and he listened to the second half of the sentence.

Alido has long noticed that some wives and slaves here seem to be someone's eyeliner. He bet that this sentence will reach the ears of the irritable Shura general Pigala in a moment.

I hate his frivolous behavior and ambiguous words, but I also feel that every time I am stared at by those dark blue eyes, my face is warm and my heart beats a lot.Mu Shangji glanced at him, said lightly, "I remember." Then he went out.

Two hours later, Bisiyuan, where Mu Shangji lived, was in chaos. It was said that General Vijara, who was in charge of arranging and taking care of them, rushed in for some reason, causing chaos.Mu Shangji hurried back after hearing the news, but happened to see Vijaro pulling Alido's collar and yelling something angrily.And the feather coat that Alido was originally wearing was thrown aside, and the scorching sun quickly scalded a large area of ​​red on his skin, and the ghost body in that person must also be suffering from severe pain like a frying pan. .However, Alido remained silent, and even managed to force a haughty smile on his face to look at General Shura, who had been dazzled by anger.

"Vijialuo! Are you crazy!" Mu Shangji hurriedly rushed over and tried to pull Pijialuo away, but was pushed away by the other hand.Unsteady on his feet, he fell to the ground.

Mu Shangji was anxious, "Vikala! What do you mean!"

"What do you mean?" Vigalo stared at him viciously from the side, his eyes seemed to burst into flames, "My wife and slave want to raise a poor boy, and this general can't take care of me anymore?! You'll be fine if you don't clean up. Get out of here!"

Mu Shangji couldn't believe his ears. Is this person mentally ill?Does the public have to be so ashamed? "Vigala! Tell me clearly! Who is your wife and slave!"

"You voluntarily became my wife-slave, and even signed a blood contract!"

"I have already left you! That blood contract is also destroyed! You have nothing to do with me!"

"According to the blood contract is a lifetime! Even if I don't want you anymore, you have to obediently guard my chastity!"

A talented person like Mu Shangji is most afraid of encountering unreasonable people, but Pijialuo is the person he will never quarrel with, obviously he is sorry for himself, obviously he ruined all the good memories between them ...

"Don't forget, there are conditions in the blood contract I signed. You and I need to be single-minded, but have you done it?!"

Faced with this question full of endless sadness, Vijaro paused for a moment, and a look of guilt appeared on Mu Shangji's invisible face on the other side.But it was only for a moment, he quibbled, "I am in this position, if you are really the only wife and slave, wouldn't you become the laughing stock of the entire Luohou Kingdom?! I have already doted on you, and you don't Look at what conditions you have, a vulgar human being with no strength to restrain a chicken, average appearance, and aging so fast, even if you post it to other Shuras, no one will want it, why can't you be more sensible!"

I have to be grateful for being lucky by him once in a while?

Mu Shangji knew that it was useless to talk to this person, these Shuras didn't understand what is true love and what is respect, but when they heard these words, they still felt pain like being torn apart.He looked around, shattered a glass cup suddenly, picked up a sharp piece of glass and put it across his neck, angrily said, "Let him go!"

A look of disbelief appeared on Vijara's face, "How dare you threaten me for a lowly ghost?"

"If something happens to me, how will you explain to King Luohou?" Mu Shangji's gaze was extremely firm at this time, and the glass shards in his hand fell into his flesh without hesitation. It oozes out immediately, sliding into the collar along the contour of Adam's apple.

The three faces of Vikara are full of extremely tangled expressions, one moment is anger, the other is embarrassment, the other is helpless, and the other is sadness, and finally he roared, "You owe people like this|Why! Bitch!!!"

Being so humiliated in public, Mu Shangji's face turned red and turned pale, and his eyes were a little red.But he smiled, with a distorted smile and a sad smile, "Yes, I'm cheap, but it's a pity that no matter how cheap I am, I won't be as cheap as you!"

As soon as these words came out, Vijaro threw Alido away, strode forward, raised his hand and slapped Mu Shangji.Mu Shangji, who doesn't know martial arts, was immediately beaten dizzy, only felt buzzing in his ears, and his body lost his balance.It took him a long time to hear the sound, and the rotating image in front of him stopped, only to find that he had fallen into the pool and his whole body was soaked.

The astonishment hadn't passed, and before he had time to realize what had happened, Alido suddenly roared and rushed forward, knocking down Vikara, with a ghostly face, opening his mouth with sharp fangs, and biting on it fiercely. General Shura's neck.

Pigala screamed in pain, but couldn't break free for a moment.The strength of this ghost is astonishing. After all, the two of them were at loggerheads in the human world. If it weren't for the scorching sun of the Shura Dao, even Vikara might not be able to defeat this fierce and unusual ghost.

The rest of Shura's guards rushed forward and dragged Alido, who was still roaring like a wild beast, away from Vijara.General Shura roared angrily, and raised his sword to kill the ghost regardless of the blood pouring from his neck.But his sword couldn't go down after all, because Mu Shangji suddenly jumped in front of the evil ghost, facing his sword edge with his chest, "Vikala! Have you had enough trouble!"

As if he was a defeated beast king, Vijara yelled angrily but helplessly. Shura's anger completely distorted the originally beautiful face, turning it into an incomparably vicious and menacing face.He stared at Mu Shangji and said, "Remember, you are mine all your life, you will regret what happened today!"

Mu Shangji heaved a sigh of relief as the people of Vijaro followed their furious general to leave one after another.His left cheek was still burning, and it must have been very swollen.He quickly turned around and picked up the feather coat on the ground and wrapped it around Alido, but he didn't dare to look into Alido's eyes.All these unbearable situations were seen by Alido, and Mu Shangji felt that his self-esteem had been torn apart, turning into dust and flying all over the sky.

After a long while, Mu Shangji said in a low voice, "I'm sorry to trouble you."

Arido remained silent, but Mu Shangji suddenly felt his left cheek being covered by gentle force.

"Does it hurt?" It was almost a pity-like question.

Mu Shangji looked up with a little surprise, but couldn't take his eyes away from this one.He had never been looked at like that before, full of something soft and tender, as if he was something precious, something worthy of being treated with care.In the past, he always heard that some women fell in love just because of a tender and compassionate look from their lovers. He still thought it was just a wild story, how could the eyes have such great power.

But now he realizes that even for a man, such tenderness and preciousness are still hard to resist.

It's probably because he's a passive person... so deep down somewhere in his heart, he's still longing for something like this, something he couldn't get after ten years of hard work in his last relationship.An inexplicable grievance that had been suppressed for many years was about to move at this moment, turning into sourness and welling up in the eyes.

Mu Shangji hurriedly shook off these untimely weaknesses, and supported Alido's arm, "Go to the house, I have ointment, which can help you heal your burns."

Alido entered Mu Shangji's room for the first time, and the latter ordered a servant to fetch a basin of clean water, waved away all the remaining attendants, and then took out his medicine box from the cabinet, and put it in the I rummaged around and found a packet of powder.At this time, the clear water had been delivered, so he melted the powder into the water, soaked the towel in it, and said to Alido without looking back, "Take off your clothes."

There was a somewhat unscrupulous teasing voice behind him, "To what extent? All naked?"

"...Take off your shirt!"

Alido looked at Mu Shangji with his head lowered, and carefully wiped the red spots on his neck and shoulders with the cool medicinal powder water with a faint mint aroma.Mu Shangji wet the towel again and began to wipe the sunburned areas on his face. The ordinary eyebrows and eyes became serious, but there was a special charm, which made Alido look a little ecstatic.

"Why would you make an Asura a wife and slave?" Alido asked suddenly, breaking the harmony just now.

Mu Shangji's hand paused, and he continued to move after a while, "It's just some commonplace trivia, you won't be interested in listening to it."

"I like to hear clichéd trifles the most." Alido said, "However, you'd better change your clothes before talking about it. Although it looks very tempting, it won't be good if you get cold."

Only then did Mu Shangji realize that he was still wearing wet clothes.Due to the warm weather in Luohou country, the clothes he wore were also thinner than before. The light blue clothes were soaked and stuck tightly to his body, outlining his thinner body than ordinary men.Mu Shangji blushed, rushed behind the screen, and found some clothes randomly to change.

"If you don't want to say it, then I'll take a guess." Alido said leisurely outside the screen, "You should have been in the Immortal Medicine School for a long time, maybe you have been studying medicine on Penglai Island since you were a child? And this General Vijara seems to be familiar with the human world, and he is probably responsible for sending messages between the Luohou Kingdom and the Immortal Medicine Sect, so I think you two must have met on Penglai Island, right?"

There was silence behind the screen.

"It may be that he came to the island to discuss some important matters with you Xianjun, so he stayed for a long time. At that time, you were probably less than 20 years old? I have never seen such a beautiful creature, and You are powerful, so you fell in love with him? Then this general is also interested in you, so the two of you will fight each other and fall in love madly..."

"Okay, stop guessing..." Mu Shangji couldn't bear it anymore and came out from behind the screen, his hair was loose and still dripping with drops of water, "The first half is a bit reliable, but the latter part is just nonsense."

"Why, I got half of it right. I'm pretty smart, aren't I?"

Mu Shangji sat down opposite him, looked at his own medicine bottles on the table, seemed to give up, and said while tidying up, "I did meet him on the island, and I was indeed... impressed by his appearance. Confused...but I went to Asura Dao partly because the Immortal Medicine Sect needed to send someone to Luohou Kingdom..."

"You mean, you were sent to spy on them?"

"It's not surveillance, it's a bit like... a relationship, it's a way to show sincerity. I brought some hard-to-find panacea from the Immortal Medicine School in exchange for the location of the passage to the realm of nothingness they calculated. But... I went voluntarily."

At that time, Vikara was so beautiful and powerful, but he was so gentle and patient when talking to him.He has never received such tenderness before. After all, he is good at researching drugs, which is contrary to the belief of many doctors who help the world and save people. In the hearts of many disciples, he may be a lunatic who is gentle on the surface but very perverted and bloodthirsty on the inside.

But Pigala is different. He seems to be very interested in his research and listens to him patiently.Mu Shangji, who was used to loneliness, never knew that he liked to talk so much, and could chatter about his ideas and experiments for an hour or two.Realizing his impoliteness, he apologized again and again, but Vijara looked at him with that star-like expression in his eyes and said, "I like to listen to you, I think you are like a piece of rough jade. It looks so introverted, but when you get closer, you find that there is a different soul living in your body."

At that time, Mu Shangji had just reached his full age, and he had never left Penglai Island since he was a child, never loved or been loved.So in front of an existence beyond human beings like Vigala, he felt inferior and longing, and soon fell into that bright light.Only later did he know that Vikara was ordered to choose one of the disciples of the Immortal Medicine Sect to bring back to Shura Dao, and he chose himself because he was introverted and seemed to be easier to control, so taking him back would not affect his life too much .As for the single-minded sentence in the blood contract, he just added it reluctantly to coax himself.

He has always been an outlier, no matter on Penglai Island or in Shura Dao.It is not unheard of for Shura to take human beings as his wives and slaves. In fact, it was very popular for a while to take beautiful women and men in the world as his wives and slaves.But he has neither beauty nor charm, what he has is just that pitiful identity as a closed disciple of the Xianjun.He soon found that the luxurious tenderness that Vikara had given him disappeared, and he didn't even see him for a few days.

He thought it was because there were too many things going on in the Vikara barracks, and tried to understand him. After all, he himself also needed to adapt to the life of Shura Dao, and he needed to find out the location of the passage in the realm of nothingness and the opportunity to open it.

About a year later, he realized that he was only living in one other courtyard in Pigala, and Pigala had two other courtyards in the city, raising more than a dozen wives and slaves...

When he rushed to one of the other courtyards desperately, he saw Vigala lying on the lap of a handsome and beautiful young Shura, opening his mouth to catch the crystal fruit that Shura fed him.

Should have left at that time, without looking back.But he still has tasks, and he is not reconciled.

He felt that there must be something he did not do well, as long as he did better, maybe Vikara would change his mind and fall in love with him again, just like he did on Penglai Island.

This consumption lasted ten years. At first, I was unwilling, but later... I got used to it...

He began to understand that Pigala had never loved himself.It was his wishful thinking from the beginning.

He watched Vikara give those beautiful wives and slaves the warmth he couldn't get, time and time again he watched new people lie in the arms of the man he once loved, and time and time again he was alone in grand festivals Lying in the dark, listening to the fireworks blooming in the distant city, imagining which wives and slaves Vikara is watching with the colorful lights that fill the sky.

A heart that has been baptized by disappointment and sadness too many times becomes numb and strong.He regards himself as a machine without emotion, as long as he completes the tasks given to him by Xianjun.

Finally, the monks figured out the approximate location of the realm of nothingness, the shortest distance between them and Shura Dao, and the timing.As long as these are passed on to Xianjun, his mission is completed and he can leave.

But he hesitated.

After all... I have lived in this place for five years, and the time I have lived in the world is ten years. I have spent half my life here, and Penglai Island is just a distant memory.

There is still a trace of reluctance.

But even this reluctance finally disappeared, because he found that Vikara fell in love with Shura, a nobleman from Vimazhitara.

This time was different from any previous one.Pigala even dismissed most of his wives and slaves for this person, leaving only him, the earliest wife and slaves, and a few others who have been with him for a long time.It's just that even if he stayed, he would never see Vikara again. He mingled with that Vimazhitara Shura every day, and even took him to the banquet.That Shura seems to be an excellent archer, with a very prominent status and a very proud temper. It seems that he became his wife-slave because he was defeated by Vikara in a duel. Nu's weak Shura is completely different.The moment Mu Shangji saw the tenderness in Pijialuo's eyes looking at the man, he realized how fake and ridiculous the tenderness Pijialuo gave him was, almost like charity.

He was finally completely desperate, and left without a trace of nostalgia.

It's just that he doesn't understand why Pigala is doing this now...

He has already passed his naive age, he knows that Pigala never fell in love with him, maybe... it is the boring possessive desire of the master...

He just thinks that others can't touch his own things, no matter whether it's a toy he no longer wants.He did not tell Alido all these things, but gave a few general remarks, since Alido had the right to know because of the injury.

After Alido heard this, he put away the usual joke on his face, and actually showed a bit of anger.

"Seeing that he looks like a devil dog, I didn't expect him to be a scum."

Mu Shangji chuckled, "It's strange that I can understand him."

"understand?"

"Being asked by his king to accept a human being who he doesn't like as a wife and slave, and growing up in such an environment where he thinks that powerful people can dominate everything at will, his thinking is probably very normal. So he would feel that I made trouble for no reason."

"Please, don't be so considerate, okay?" Arido's face became more and more angry, but this time it was directed at Mu Shangji, "He has bullied you so much, why do you still understand?! If I will never walk away, but cut off his bastard with a knife first!"

Mu Shangji laughed out loud.At this moment, Alido's expression was too jealous, but such a righteous expression was really not suitable for him, a ghost with no morals from hell.

Alido suddenly stretched out his hand and hugged Mu Shangji, rubbing his back as if comforting him.Mu Shangji was startled, and wanted to break free, but Alido's arms were so strong, and there was a strange relaxing smell in his arms, which made him a little absent-minded in his struggle.

"Next time you meet him, just call me and I'll cut him for you." Alido said in his deep voice.

Mu Shangji laughed lowly in his arms, "Why do you suddenly have such a sense of justice?"

Alido straightened his shoulders and said seriously, "As a prisoner, of course I can't let my master be bullied casually! Otherwise, where will I save my face?" He paused, then suddenly tilted his head and said Say, "Your eyes are crooked when you smile, so cute."

Mu Shangji blushed and moved away from him uncomfortably.But at this time, a waiter outside the door reported that Bai Luen had come.

Mu Shangji's face darkened, he knew that Bai Luen was not kind.But he didn't have any room to refuse, so he asked Bai Luen to be brought into the living room, and he tidied up his clothes before rushing to see him.

Unexpectedly, as soon as we met, Bai Luen said bluntly, "I've heard about what happened just now. I'll take care of that Maya ghost."

Mu Shangji was taken aback for a moment, then anger crept into the corner of his eyes, "Why?"

"Isn't it obvious?" Bai Luen's soft voice was sharp at the moment, "Now we are in King Luohou's land, and offending his most trusted General Vijara will not do us any good. I don't care about you. What is the relationship with that Maya ghost? At this critical juncture, it is better not to make extra troubles."
